Definitions

  • the invention is directed to a device for the division of product groups from a stream of fed via conveyors plurality of identical piece goods with a feed path and intermittently transversely to the transport plane in the
  • said one-piece elements are held by a pair of driven, endless circulating flexible drive elements, such as chains, timing belt or the like.
  • Such a grouping device below a conveyor line for example, DE-40 36 341 -A1, which shows engaging from below into the product flow stop elements, which are provided on endless circulating belt or chain-like drive elements.
  • the distance between a pair of grouping elements corresponds to the later product group dimension as it is to be supplied to the packaging machines, i. one of the elements defines the forward direction of the product group in the direction of transport, while the rear element engages in the subsequent bottles in order to prevent them from advancing during the further transport of the first group. If the clock is then switched on for onward transport, the group can be forwarded separately.
  • compartment devices The performance of known devices for forming product groups, so-called compartment devices, currently depends essentially on the conveyor belt speed and the diameter of the containers to be processed.
  • the (maximum) speed of the conveyor belt is limited in its height substantially by the properties of the containers, for example by their inclination, so that the conveyor belt speed is a constant. If, for example, containers with a large outer diameter are processed, then a certain number of product groups must be allocated in the formation of a specific product formation per unit of time. If containers with a small outer diameter are subsequently processed, a significantly larger number of product groups must be allocated per unit of time to form an identical product formation, since a significantly greater amount of containers is conveyed through the compartment apparatus per unit of time.
  • the compartment elements required for the department of the product groups are at least partly compulsory on one part of their way
  • the object of the present invention is to show a compartment device which, on the one hand, can be adapted as flexibly as possible to containers of very different outer diameters, and which, on the other hand, can also be changed with respect to its performance.
  • each of these pairs can be operated independently of the at least two other pairs with its own speed profile.
  • each of these pairs of flexible drive elements with its own drive motor, which is preferably a controllable and / or controllable servomotor, which allows, for example, its output speed and / or its output torque also within a 360 ° rotation of its output shaft according to the desired specifications to control and / or to regulate.
  • the term speed profile of the flexible drive elements is to be understood as meaning the speed and / or the speed changes of a flexible drive element during a 360 ° rotation.
  • this speed profile can have any number of acceleration or deceleration phases, sections with constant speed, standstill phases, etc., which result in the sum and in their order one, the demands on the Abteilvorraum expectant movement sequence.
  • chain pairs all relevant propulsion elements in circulation are meant here, ie. also pairs of belts, timing belt pairs and corresponding elements.
  • the invention is not limited only to three drive shafts for three pairs of chains, but is also directed to a plurality of drive shafts and chain pairs to provide high, adjustable performance, a wide range of different general cargo groups e.g. from beverage bottles, beverage cans or the like, which are then supplied to packaging machines, which package these units accordingly and settle in boxes or on pallets, to name just a few examples.
  • general cargo groups e.g. from beverage bottles, beverage cans or the like, which are then supplied to packaging machines, which package these units accordingly and settle in boxes or on pallets, to name just a few examples.
  • the Umlenk leopardson for the chains bearing shafts are formed as drive shafts for a pair of chains and as a chain wheels La- gerwellen for the other pairs of chains.
  • the respective front-side shafts supporting the deflection gears usually form the drive shaft for a chain pair and the third drive shaft acts on the third chain pair.
  • the third and / or further drive shaft for the third and / or further chain pair via an operative connection, such as chain loops, timing belt od.
  • an operative connection such as chain loops, timing belt od.
  • the engagement elements are arranged on each mounted on a chain pair cross member.
  • the cross members always have a double-sided bearing, i. are statically determined, which is not necessarily given in a cantilevered beam solution according to the prior art.
  • each drive motor a separate, independent of the other drive motors speed profile, which is also provided independent departure and / or changing this speed profile.
  • the individual speed profiles or their shutdown are predetermined and monitored by a common control for the drive motors.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a greatly simplified illustration of different product groups to be achieved with the device according to the invention.
  • Each of the waves provided is assigned an independent drive motor, wherein each of these drive motors is controlled by the at least one controller in such a way that it can drive off the speed profile intended for it independently of the further drive motors.
  • the shaft 4 carries for the circulating chain 7 with a 10 designated impeller.
  • the chain 11 carries cross member 8a with engagement elements 9a.
  • a driving sprocket 6b for a third chain 12 is driven by means of a drive shaft 5 likewise mounted in the device frame 2, for this purpose an operative connection, e.g. a chain sling 13 is provided.
  • This third chain 12 carries cross member 8b with engagement elements. It can be seen with this device according to the invention, a plurality of cross members 8, indicated in Fig. 1 and denoted by 8 ', with a plurality of engagement elements 9 and 9' position in order to adapt the device to different units.
  • the cross member 8 At the beginning of a movement sequence is the cross member 8, or arranged on this engagement elements, for example, in a start position.
  • This starting position is preferably located below the conveyor belt level, so that the products conveyed by the conveyor belt can pass through the starting position without interference.
  • the cross member 8 Separation point between two product groups to be formed approaches the engagement position of the engagement elements, the cross member 8 is accelerated, and synchronized both in terms of its speed, as well as in terms of its respective spatial position (distance) with the product group to be separated.
  • the cross member 8 moves, for example, at a speed which is slightly less than the speed of the conveyor belt in order to retain the products to be removed from the conveyor belt, which finally leads to the formation of a gap to the upstream product group.
  • the cross member 8 moves to a lower height level, whereby the engagement elements leave the retained product group and release it.
  • cross member 8 If then the cross member 8 is again in the starting position or shortly before it, it is extremely advantageous if it moves at low speed, or is even at a standstill.
  • the other pairs of flexible drive elements have at least similar velocity profiles.
  • FIG. 2 shows different containers, which are grouped into containers or packaging units and which have different diameters. These containers 19 are located on a designated 16 conveyor track, which is formed from a plurality of Einzelel continuubändem 17. Between the individual conveyor belts 17 dividing walls 18 are arranged so that the containers are passed into cash registers through the compartment unit 1. Furthermore, it can be seen in FIG. 2 that, on the side of the individual conveyor belts 17, the engagement elements 9 always engage in pairs on a container 19, which was not shown in FIG. 1 for reasons of clarity.
