Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electric monorail conveyor for transporting and positioning loads with at least one motor-driven undercarriage which can be moved along a track, with a drive wheel which is supported on the track and at least one auxiliary wheel which influences the frictional engagement of the drive wheel with the track and which has an at least partially parallel to the Interacting career track interacts.
  • electric monorails - or also monorail monorails - can be used.
  • a transport unit can consist of one, two or more trolleys, which are connected by crossbeams, from which the objects to be transported are picked up and suspended.
  • each transport unit can be operated independently of the others.
  • a drive device for the undercarriage of a conveyor unit traveling on profile rails in which two auxiliary wheels are assigned to a drive wheel, which are constantly pulled in the direction of the drive wheel in order to be in engagement therewith.
  • the presence of two auxiliary wheels constantly interacting with the drive wheel results in disadvantages both in terms of the construction effort and the space requirement and also the requirement for considerable additional maintenance.
  • the object of the present invention is to design an electric monorail conveyor of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the transmission of the driving force to the track is carried out not only by the actual drive wheel but also by the auxiliary wheel.
  • a higher driving force is to be generated overall.
  • the frictional engagement is preferably increased to the required extent only in those areas in which an increased incline or descent has to be overcome, but not outside these areas.
  • the measures are to be carried out with structurally simple measures that do not cause complex maintenance work. An undesired rolling over of the drive wheel, which leads to increased abrasion, should also be avoided as far as possible.
  • a single auxiliary wheel is assigned to the drive wheel, that the auxiliary wheel is driven by frictional engagement of the drive wheel and that from the axle shaft of the drive wheel or from a point of the drive frame the axle shaft of the auxiliary wheel receiving connecting elements, which in turn are indirectly or experience a force effect in the direction of the drive wheel and the auxiliary rail directly from a spring element that extends out from the drive frame receiving the drive wheel.
  • auxiliary wheel reaches the area of an auxiliary rail, the distance to the track of which must of course be smaller than the sum of the diameters of the drive wheel and auxiliary wheel, the auxiliary wheel is pulled through the spring element in the wedge formed between the drive wheel and the auxiliary rail, so that this causes the contact pressure of the drive wheel to be increased.
  • the connecting elements can be designed as swing arms, preferably two-leg swing arms. The latter has the advantage of better alignment of the axis of the auxiliary wheel.
  • the connecting element comprises only a rigid but pivotable leg
  • the axis of the auxiliary wheel is arranged in an elongated hole, so that when it enters the wedge formed between the auxiliary rail and the drive wheel, the auxiliary wheel can be shifted to an extent on the drive wheel that the required increase in frictional engagement takes place.
  • a running gear (14) having a running gear frame (12) can be moved along a running track (10), which can be a double-T beam, which comprises a drive wheel (16) which is supported on the running track (10) and which has a Electric motor (18) can be driven.
  • Guide rollers (20), (22), (24) and (26) extend from the drive frame (12) and are supported on the lateral flange surface of the track (10).
  • an auxiliary rail (28) is provided on the one hand and at least one auxiliary wheel (30) on the other.
  • the auxiliary rail (28) runs in the region of the climb or the slope and is at a distance from the surface of the raceway (10) on which the drive wheel (16) is supported that is smaller than the sum of the diameters of the wheels (16) and (30).
  • a rigid but pivotable connecting element (34) which from the axle shaft (36) of the auxiliary wheel (30) in one Slot is interspersed. Furthermore, a spring element (40) extends from the connecting element (34) and is connected to the drive frame (12). This causes a force on the connecting element (34) in the direction of the drive wheel (16).
  • Fig. 2 the drive wheel (16) is connected to the auxiliary wheel (30) via links (42) and (44) consisting of articulated arms (46). Otherwise, the elements that have been described in connection with FIG. 1 are retained. Of course, one of the rockers (46) runs on both sides of the wheels. This type of connection results in a better alignment of the axis of the auxiliary wheel.
  • the rocker (46) consisting of the legs (42) and (44) is not articulated on the axle (32) but on a point (45) facing away from it on the support frame (12).
  • the fulcrum (45) of the rocker (46) lies outside the wheel (16) and the auxiliary wheel (30).
  • the arrangement of the rocker (46) and its articulation point (45) results in a structurally particularly simple solution.
  • the distance between the track (10) and the auxiliary rail (28) is chosen so that the spring elements are not on block, i.e. the connecting elements emanating from the auxiliary wheels (30) are not in contact with the stop (48) according to FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • the auxiliary wheels (30) are drawn into the part formed between the auxiliary rail (28) and the drive wheel (16), as a result of which the frictional engagement between the auxiliary wheel (30) or (50) and the drive wheel (16) increases and the contact pressure the auxiliary rail is generated.
