Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device comprising a plurality of juxtaposed endless conveyor elements, such as e.g. Transport chains or conveyor belts, which form an upper transport region and a lower return region, which are arranged between deflection regions, in which the endless conveying elements are guided on deflection rollers from the transport region into the return region and vice versa.
  • Such transport devices are used in particular in the beverage bottling industry for products of different sizes, e.g. from soda cans, to PET bottles of all sizes, to beverage crates.
  • the designer must check whether both products can "run" on a single chain width.
  • the segments must not cause any damage to the product itself.
  • B. in aluminum cans with round bolts / bars as compartment segments can be very quickly the case.
  • the footprint plays a crucial role in the selection of the optimal chain width: Pentaloid bottoms, which have only one, consisting of several points footprint, are not as stable on today's chains such as a beverage can with a complete ring as a base.
  • Too narrow a transport chain means an unstable stand on the transport chain. This can be detrimental to compart- ment: the product begins to lean against one of the guide rails after it has been released from the compartment unit and is then retained due to the friction between the product and the rail, which can lead to errors when entering an upper cam ,

  • the transport chains are then not centrally located under the product, but left and right of the roller segment.
  • One way of avoiding the problem of choosing the right chain width is to increase the width of the chain by temporarily connecting two chains at the same time, for example, using the usual adjusting units of the lanes, two transport chains for individual lanes, for example, two 28mm wide chains
  • the width of the chain can be further increased by a certain distance of the two mutually associated chains from one another to the direction of travel, so that a disadvantage of this procedure is that the number of available lanes (halving the maximum possible number of lanes is reduced and the adjustment is very complex.
  • At least one, preferably several, in particular all of the endless conveyor elements consist of at least two parallel strands which are supported on at least one support guide of the transport device and whose mutual distance can be adjusted via at least one adjusting mechanism.

  • the position of at least one strand transverse to the transport direction can be adjusted very easily by adjusting the position of the second guide means on the support guide transversely to the transport direction via the setting mechanism. At least one strand is thus adjusted via the mold engagement between the first and second guide means transversely to the transport direction.
  • This can be the Set the distance of this strand, for example, relative to a transversely immovable to the transport direction or else also movable strand.
  • the distance between the strands and thus the overall width of the endless conveyor element is adjusted in a simple manner.
  • At least the two (outer) strands forming the side edges of the endless conveyor element first guiding means are formed on the underside, which in each case come into shape engagement with the second guide means formed on the support guide, in particular on guide profiles of the support guide.
  • the distance between the second guide means for the two strands and thus the distance between the two strands is thus adjustable via the adjusting mechanism.
  • the distance is adjustable by synchronous adjustment of the two strands in the opposite direction transverse to the transport direction.
  • the distance is of course adjustable, especially in the horizontal plane.
  • the first guide means is disposed on the opposite outer edges of the outermost strands.

  • the second guide means thus exert a positive guidance on the first guide means and can thus realize the width adjustability of the endless conveying element very reliably and in a simple manner.
  • the strands of all endless conveyor elements of the transport device are adjustable in their mutual distance, but at least the strands of one of the endless conveyor elements should be adjustable in their mutual distance.
  • the strands of all or at least almost all endless conveyor elements of the transport device are adjustable in their mutual distance. It would also be possible alternately to arrange in each case a normal endless conveyor element (one-piece transversely to the transport direction) next to a width-adjustable endless conveyor element whose strands can be set at a distance from one another. Also on this wine very homogeneous transport surface can also be realized for small products.

  • the threaded rod / sleeve is driven by means of a transversely extending to the transport direction profile bar on which a gear is arranged, which meshes directly or by means of an intermediate scribe a corresponding gear, which is connected to the threaded rod / sleeve. In this way, a rotary movement can be efficiently converted into a lateral movement for adjusting the profile parts from one another.
  • the profile bar forms a guide for the profile parts, whereby it receives a double function as a force transmitter of the adjusting mechanism and as a guide, which allows a very compact design.

  • FIG. 15e A variant of this embodiment of Fig. 15e, Fig. 15f, in which the left profile part 57a is fixedly connected to the guide frame and only the right profile part 57b is movable transversely to the transport direction. Again, this can be done in a simpler way, a width adjustment of the endless conveyor.
  • chain links with associated support webs and the possibly required longitudinal beams are ideally made monolithically from one piece or consists of a few monolithic parts, which are ideally made of a plastic.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de transport comprenant au moins deux éléments de convoyage sans fin (10a - 10j) agencés parallèlement l'un à l'autre, qui forment une zone supérieure de transport pourvue d'un plan de transport et une zone inférieure de retour. La zone de transport et la zone de retour sont situées entre des zones de renvoi dans lesquelles les éléments de convoyage sans fin (10a - 10j) sont guidés sur des poulies de renvoi. Au moins l'un des éléments de convoyage sans fin (10a - 10j) est constitué d'au moins deux lignes (15a, 15b, 15c) parallèles, qui sont en appui sur au moins un guidage d'appui (52, 54) du dispositif de transport, et dont l'écart mutuel peut être réglé par au moins un mécanisme de réglage. Chaque ligne (15a, 15b, 15c) comprend des sections de transport (11, 11.1, 11.2) qui se situent dans le plan de transport dans la zone de transport des éléments de convoyage sans fin. Selon l'invention, des premiers moyens de guidage (32), lesquels sont respectivement en complémentarité de formes avec au moins un deuxième moyen de guidage (33a, 33b) formé sur le guidage d'appui (52, 54), sont formés sur la face inférieure d'au moins une ligne, le ou les deuxièmes moyens de guidage (33a, 33b) pouvant être réglés transversalement au sens de transport par le mécanisme de réglage.
