Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tape buffer according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • belt buffer is understood for the purpose of this description additional conveyor belts, which are inserted in a conveyor line between an incoming and a forth ⁇ ing conveyor belt to allow intermediate storage of subsidized products or to extend the conveyor line targeted.
  • Such belt buffers are used, for example, for conveying unpackaged products if the products have to be intermediately stored between production and packaging in the event of disruptions in the packaging area so that overflow or rejects can not occur. This significantly increases the efficiency of the production lines.
  • These band buffers are usually designed according to the principle "first-in / first-out” (FIFO).
  • a band buffer can also fulfill a cooling function. In biscuit production, this is often the case because the freshly-produced products are still hot straight from the oven and must be gently chilled before they can be packaged.
  • the oven must be able to be emptied in the event of a longer disruption in the packaging area, especially in the case of very valuable complex products that can no longer be re-processed.
  • the buffer line be designed so that in any case the complete oven length can be moved into the tape buffer.
  • the inlet area of the belt buffer is responsible for inspecting the incoming product lines for length, height and distance so that only acceptable products reach the packaging machines. This is usually detected with optical sensors.
  • the non akzep ⁇ TableN product lines are removed to prevent further disturbances.
  • the requirements for the inlet area are also the zero-pressure formation of product formations. These product formations are usually made with one or more short ribbons. The number and length of these tapes depends on the type, consistency and dimensions of the product and on the feed rate.
  • the formations consist of a certain number of product lines, which are clocked up at regular intervals.
  • the formations are driven on belts whose length harmonizes with the length of the product formation.
  • the band buffer consists of any number of successive buffer bands of the length of a formation or an integer multiple of the formation length.
  • buffer bands are usually arranged one above the other.
  • the buffering effect is achieved by moving the product formations towards the outlet at a higher speed. Then the formations will be clocked in the outlet area of the buffer in From ⁇ dependence on the packaging speed. Typically, the total packaging performance is 15% to 20% faster than the production output. This allows the buffer level to be emptied during production.
  • the formations are usually clocked off again in rows. This series club ⁇ zelung depends on the number of packaging machines, their speed and the type of packaging.
  • the invention has for its object to further improve the efficiency and capacity of tape buffers with tapes on several levels.
  • Fig. 1 shows a band buffer with three levels between an incoming and an outgoing band
  • FIG. 2 shows a band buffer with three levels and three outgoing bands
  • FIG. 3 shows a band buffer with three levels, three incoming and three outgoing bands
  • Fig. 6 is a plan view of an alternative Ausique ⁇ tion form.
  • the band buffer 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of three mutually superposed planes of band sections, which in turn consist of a plurality of bands 2, 3, 4, 5 arranged one behind the other. It is a modular system in which the individual bands have a length corresponding to the multiple of a product formation. The individual bands are driven individually by means of servomotors 6.
  • the band buffer 1 is interposed between an incoming from the production line 7 and one to a packaging plant sauce ⁇ Henden band. 8
  • the transfer edges of the input-side bands 2, which take over the products from the incoming band 7, are height-adjustable, as indicated by the arrow 9. In this way it is possible the products di ⁇ rectly to bring ie without the interposition of a switch on the input side bands 2 of the band buffer.
  • the incoming products are loaded to the lower level of the tape buffer.
  • the Expertga ⁇ bekanten the bands 5, which pass the products to the outgoing band are also adjustable in height, as indicated by the arrow 10. In the position shown, the products are delivered from the middle level to the packaging.
  • An advantage of the direct transfer without switch consists DA rin that the height-adjustable bands are actively used as a buffer belts, so that the same length of tape ⁇ buffer a higher capacity or, conversely, a gewünsch ⁇ te capacity with a smaller overall length is achieved. Another advantage is that there is a cost savings by eliminating the switches.
  • FIGS. 2-6 only the upper one of the similar bands of the modular system is provided with reference numerals.
  • the inlet region of the tape buffer is as ge shows ⁇ in Fig. 3, just as easily possible to process a plurality of superimposed lie ⁇ constricting levels with incoming product lines, due to the height adjustment of the input and output side bands in many different combinations ,
  • an often required ejection function shown in FIG. 5 can also be integrated. If defective products are detected at the product entrance, the belts 2 are raised and the defective products are simply removed. Due to the modular structure of this tape buffer the most different layout requirements can be covered. In addition to the classic in-line arrangement, it is also possible, as shown in FIG. 6, to cover very different space requirements by the use of curved belts. Here, it should be noted that the settlement of the alignments being dimensioned so that one or more complete Pro ⁇ duktformationen can be placed thereon.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif de stockage intermédiaire à bandes (1) comprenant une pluralité de bandes de stockage intermédiaire (3, 4, 5) disposées les unes au-dessus des autres. Les bords de chargement des bandes de stockage intermédiaire côté entrée et les bords de déchargement des bandes de stockage intermédiaire côté sortie sont réglables en hauteur. Les bandes de stockage intermédiaire peuvent être constituées de plusieurs modules de bandes successifs.
