Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a conveyor system of the type mentioned is from DE 33 09 377 A known.
  • a lifting device for the drive wheel a swivel arm in on that at one end at a cross to the rail plane horizontal axis is pivotally connected to the chassis and has at the other end a path follower that is in a engages with the drive unit connected guideway.
  • the guideway defines a basic position in which the Drive wheel is biased to the rail, a labile Lift-off position from which the drive wheel with no holding force a person returns to the basic position independently, as well as a stable lifting position in which the drive wheel even without the influence of a person in exemption should remain.
  • This lifting device relatively complicated and in particular takes up a lot of space.
  • the stable lifting position is only apparently stable since there is no lock and one Preload spring the swivel arm when there is no holding force Person also returns to the basic position independently.
  • the handling of the lifting device very difficult since it is only on the underside of the tram is accessible from the outside using a tool.
  • the object of the invention is a conveyor system of the beginning to improve the type mentioned.
  • the object is achieved by the characterizing Features of claim 1.
  • the lifting device stands out due to the windable on a shaft flexible coupling link through an extremely simple, space-saving and safe construction.
  • the one on the Handle attached to the outside of the undercarriage a simple, at any time possible handling without additional Tools.
  • the lifting device is designed according to claim 2 so that it is in the off-hook stable position of the drive wheel is lockable to do not keep the lifting device pressed for too long until, for example, the trolley is moved is finished.
  • the lock should not in any case, but only in a second phase the adjustment, i.e. the locking position of the lifting device, while in a first unstable phase, that means the lifting position, the lifting device is always from Hand must be held to ensure that the Omitting the lifting device the automatic intervention the drive device on the rail is guaranteed.
  • Claim 3 denotes an advantageous solution of the locking the lifting device.
  • a further development of the conveyor system is also particularly advantageous according to claim 4, which an unwanted lifting of the Ensures drive wheel from the rail.
  • Conveyor system show the chassis 2 of a trolley 4 in a rail 6.
  • the trolley contains rollers 8 and a drive wheel driven by a drive unit 10 12, which in the present case consists of a friction wheel 12a and a gear 12b.
  • the trolley 4 runs in a rail 6, the lifting of the trolley transversely Rail level prevented.
  • the rail contains, for example a rail base 14 and side rail parts 16 which grasp the rollers 8 in a C-shape so that the trolley 4 cannot be removed vertically from the rails.
  • the drive unit 10 is parallel to the axis 18 of the Drive wheel 12 parallel axis 20 pivotable in the frame 22nd of the chassis 2 stored.
  • a bias spring 24 tensions that Drive wheel 12 against the rail base 14 so that either the friction wheel 12a with a friction surface 26 of the rail base 14 is engaged or as in the example shown Gear 12b with a rack 28 on the rail base 14.
  • the trolley 4 is operated manually from the outside Device 30 for lifting the drive wheel 12 or 12a, 12b equipped by the rail 6.
  • This lifting device 30 contains one arranged parallel to the drive axis Shaft 32, which is rotatable in the chassis 2 and in axial Direction is mounted.
  • the wave is with one Handle 34 provided, on the one hand, the pivoting of the Shaft 32 and on the other hand the axial displacement of shaft 32 enables, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the Shaft 32 is provided with a stop cam 36 which in the Basic position S0 according to FIG. 1 on an attachment 38 of the drive unit 10 is queued to prevent their pivoting.
  • the shaft 32 is also by means of a coupling member 40 connected to the drive unit 10, the coupling member 40 from a flexible element, for example a rope, Belt or strap is made, one end 42 of which is attached to the drive unit 10 and the other end 43 attached to the shaft 32 is.
  • a coupling member 40 connected to the drive unit 10
  • the coupling member 40 wound on the shaft, while the Stop cam 36 is brought out of engagement on the approach 38 and the coupling member 40 is wound on the shaft 32.
  • the drive unit 10 is counter to the force of the Bias spring 24 pivoted until the drive wheel 12 on the Rail 16 is disengaged.
  • the lifting device 30 is now with a locking device 44 provided that the lifting device in the in Figure 1 shown basic position S0 locked to an unwanted Prevent pivoting of the shaft 32.
  • This is the wave 32 provided with a shoulder 46, so that the shaft 32 by means of a biasing spring 48 over the shoulder 46 on a wall 50, which faces away from the handle 34, is brought into contact.
  • a bore 52 is contained in the wall 50, which is diametrical contains two radial recesses 54 in the opposite each engages a radial projection 56 of the shaft 32 and so secures the shaft against pivoting.
  • Position S0 is the basic position in which the drive wheel 12 on the rail base 14 in Intervention stands. By swiveling about 30 ° into the first Position S1 the stop cam 36 is released. By further pivoting by 90 ° to position S2 is the result Gear 12b free from the rack 28 so that the trolley can be moved along the rail 6. In this The handle 34 must be held by hand, otherwise, the bias spring 24 would drive unit 10 move back to the basic position.
  • the lifting device 30 can be locked, by inserting the radial lugs 56 into the radial recesses 54 snap into place. Such a lock is only recommended in a horizontal track. At the inclined or even vertical course of the rail should Locking not used to ensure that in the event of an unintentional release of the handle 34 Gear 12b immediately engages with the rack 28 to prevent the trolley from moving down unintentionally.
