Definitions
- the present invention concerns a conveying system including at least one tube connection with an internal cross-dimension/diameter/diagonal, at least one dispatch station and at least one receiver station, where items are conveyed by airflow in the direction of the airflow in the pipe connection from a dispatch station to a receiver station.
- the invention also concerns the use of such a conveying system.
- FR 2 639 336 From FR 2 639 336 is known a solution where coins are conveyed in a tube connection with a cross-section greater than that of the coins.
- This kind of tube conveying system is possibly suited for some types of items, e.g. coins, by which a more or less chaotic transport of the items is allowable.
- FR 2 639 336 it appears that coins are put in and conveyed without any further precautions, why such a system is not suited for conveying items where a certain control and guiding of the sent items is supposed and where they are to be received in a given order.
- the invention concerns a conveying system where items via an airflow in a tube connection are conveyed in the direction of the airflow.
- the new feature of a conveying system according to the invention is that the tube connection has an inner cross-sectional area, preferably a circular cross-sectional area, of a size greater than the largest cross-sectional area of an elongated item measured transversely of the longitudinal direction of the item, and which preferably is provided with at least twice the cross-sectional area compared with the largest cross-sectional area of the item, where the items have a length which is greater than the largest inner cross- dimension/diameter/diagonal.
- a conveying system may be with a tube connection with an inner diameter which is about twice the diameter of the item to transported.
- the area of the item only constitutes 1/4 of the area in the tube connection itself, having the consequence that there is ample air in the tube connection for conveying several items in the tube connection at the same time.
- the items may advantageously be sent one by one, whereby a certain distance between respective items is created.
- a typical item may e.g. be an elongated cylindric container with a diameter of 10-20 mm, or maybe with even larger thickness, and with a length of 75- 150 mm, and the tube connection may advantageously be with an inner diameter of 20-50 mm.
- the conveying system may advantageously include a dispatch station which includes a holder for the at least one item, where the at least one item is placed in a cutout in this holder, where the cutout in the holder in connection with sending the item is displaced into the airflow in the tube connection and is flushed by an airflow, where the airflow is preferably generated by a mechanical blower device.
- a dispatch station items may be dispatched without opening for the airflow in the tube connection.
- the holder may be designed as a revolving drum with a number of cutouts that are brought into the airflow one by one.
- the airflow may as mentioned be generated by a mechanical blower of suitable type, and as is mentioned above there is no need for a very great air pressure, why an overpressure of 1 bar will often be enough when there is a sufficient airflow and thereby airspeed in the tube connection.
- an airflow between 100 and 300 m /hour will often be applied, somehow depending on the weight of the items and the sundry dimensions.
- a conveying system may advantageously be arranged such that a dispatch station includes at least one connection for air through which an airflow in continuously supplied to the tube system, bypassing the dispatch station.
- An unobstructed airflow is therefore always present for carrying the items that already are underway in the tube connection.
- This airflow which is conducted around the dispatch station may be effected by a bypass channel, but may also be established with a secondary blower supplying air to the tube connection at a position after the dispatch station, and preferably at a position immediately after the dispatch station.
- the term "around” or “bypass” is therefore to be construed broadly and may thus describe a supply occurring in a bypass channel as shown in Fig. 1, but may as mentioned also be a secondary supply from a further blower where the air is supplied according to the same principle as by a bypass channel.
- a conveying system may advantageously be provided with a tube connection that further includes a mechanical suction device by which air is sucked and conducted away, preferably an amount of air at least corresponding to the amount of air supplied to the tube connection, where the air is sucked out immediately before a receiver station.
- a mechanical suction device by which air is sucked and conducted away, preferably an amount of air at least corresponding to the amount of air supplied to the tube connection, where the air is sucked out immediately before a receiver station.
- a conveying system may also be adapted such that the at least one tube connection of the conveying system is equipped with one or more regulators for the airflow, where the airflow regulators are provided with adjustable means for opening or closing apertures in the surface of the tube connection.
- Such an airflow regulator may advantageously be arranged immediately after a dispatch station, whereby it becomes possible to regulate the airflow down to a suitable level. The reason for this is that in order to accelerate the item in connection with dispatch from a dispatch station, an excess of air is usually applied. This excess air will impart high speed to the item, which, depending on the item, may be an advantage or a drawback.
- an airflow regulator may be applied with advantage.
- a regulator of airflow may in its simplest form be provided as a displaceable member that opens or closes perforations in the tube connection.
- perforations may be holes or slots and may be with constant cross-sectional area implying a linear characteristic or with a varying cross-sectional area implying a non-linear characteristic on the regulator.
- An airflow regulator may also be used with advantage for braking items prior to arrival at a receiver station.
- the conveyor system according to the invention may be designed such that the at least one tube connection is made of tubing or hose, preferably of tubing or hoses of plastic or metal. These tubes or hoses may be used for vertical as well as horizontal and oblique mounting as the overpressure in the tube connection will ensure that the item is brought forward regardless of the direction of conveying being up, down or along.
- hoses with long length and with a certain flexibility, easy mounting with a minimum of joints in the tube connection is achieved.
- the tube connection may be several hundred meters long, maybe up to 1000 m, for mounting reasons there are obviously to be a number of joints along the length. These joints are made with great care in order to avoid possible internal edges and/or displacements that may cause braking of items.
- Another important parameter is the surface roughness or the friction coefficient on the inner surface in the tube connection and on the item. Depending on the friction in the tube connection between the inner surface and the item, and the weight of the item, air pressure and airflow may be regulated to optimum.
- a variant according to the invention may be where the conveying system further includes identification means for identifying for example the person dispatching an item and the dispatched item, where these identification means are connected with a central data system.
- the central data system may advantageously be a computer system with programs suited and adapted therefor.
- a conveying system according to the invention may advantageously be used for conveying items where the items are directly constituted by the material to be conveyed. Thus there is no need for putting the item into a special capsule adapted to be conveyed in the tube connection. Hereby is achieved the obvious advantage that the conveying system is easier and faster in use as no time is used in putting the item into a capsule and taking the item out of this capsule. At the same time there is no need to ensure the presence of available capsules at the dispatch stations.
- a conveying system according to the invention may advantageously be used for conveying items constituted by containers, where a container contains e.g.
- a blood sample or other sample wherein the item is conveyed from a dispatch station, preferably close to a sampling site, and via the conveying system sent to a receiver station in connection with a laboratory.
- a test tube-like container with cover is typically made of clear plastic, e.g. polyethylene or polycarbonate.
- Such a container is robust and suitable for transport in a conveying system according to the invention. However, it may be inexpedient that a blood sample is subjected to too many jolts, why it is advantageous to regulate the speed with an regulator for airflow with regard to the conveyed items.
- a conveying system e.g. in a hospital for transporting blood samples from a location close to a sampling site and to a laboratory where the blood sample is to be examined more closely, a much faster processing time is attained since the sampler may continuously send the samples to closer examination and not, as normally, take out a number of samples and subsequently deliver all the samples collectively to the laboratory.
- a conveying system according to the invention may be used with advantage since the transport of a blood sample can occur rapidly after which the sample can be examined correspondingly rapidly.
- this may include a feeding system from which items to be dispatched one by one are automatically introduced in the dispatch station and thus just may be put into the said feeding system.
- the feeding system may include a number of magazines in which items are put, and where the filled magazines are subsequently placed in the feeding system in which the magazines are conveyed mechanically, and the individual items are actuated into a dispatch station.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a conveying system.
- Fig. 1 appears a conveying system 1 according to the invention shown schematically, where the conveying system 1 includes a tube connection 2 which extends from a dispatch station 3 to a receiver station 4 in a closed room 5. Under the dispatch station 3 appears a blower 6 from where a sufficient amount of air is blown into the tube connection 2. The air is conducted through the dispatch station 3 which is provided with a revolving drum 7 in which are arranged a number of holders in the shape of cutouts 8. An item 9 may be placed in these cutouts 8, and by rotating the revolving drum 7 about its centre axis 10, the cutouts 8 may be brought one by one into the airflow present in the tube connection 2. In order to ensure a sufficient excess of air in the tube connection 2, a constant airflow is conducted around the dispatch station 3 via a bypass duct 11 by which it is ensured that items 9 underway in the tube system 2 remain moving.
- the speed of the item 9 may be regulated by an airflow regulator 12 which in all simplicity operates by discharging a part of the air through apertures 13 in the tube system 2.
- the speed of the item 9 is hereby reduced after being accelerated to a suitable speed after the dispatch station 3.
- the airflow regulator 12 there are apertures 13 in the tube connection 2 which may be covered more or less by a displaceable part 14.
- an airflow regulator 12 In order to further reduce the speed of the item 9 before the item 9 arrives at the receiver station 4, in the shown conveying system there is depicted yet an airflow regulator 12, and also a suction device 15 by which air can be removed.
- Both airflow regulator 12 and suction device 15 may contribute to draft and overpressure not occurring in the closed room 5 which e.g. can be a laboratory.
- the item 9 By closing and removing part of the air with the airflow regulator 12 and even more by the suction device 15, the item 9 may be decelerated to such a degree that the item 9 comes to rest in a delivery tray 16.
- the suction device 15 removes more air than what is present in the tube connection 2, a small part of the air in the closed room 5 is removed automatically.
- contaminated air is not supplied to the closed room 5 which may be very important in connection with a receiver station 4 being arranged in a laboratory 5.
