Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for sorting individual conveyed units with simultaneous transport of the conveyed units, particularly in production environments and in logistics.
  • a conveyor system is generally composed of a plurality of different conveyor sections that are cooperatively connected. These conveyor sections are normally many times larger than an object to be conveyed, such as a conveyor belt or a driven roller conveyor, on which a large number of objects can be placed at the same time.
  • the conveyed goods have to be fed in an orderly association for further conveyance, mostly one after the other in the form of a string of pearls, so to speak in single file, or in rows or rows running next to each other, so that they are first separated before the actual sorting begins.
  • sorting is achieved by manually placing the items to be conveyed in a targeted manner on the sorting section itself.
  • manual manipulation to produce predetermined sorted arrangements of the individual items to be conveyed is complex and comparatively slow. The need to carry out the sorting automatically and to find appropriate plant-technical solutions was and is therefore very high.
  • Examples of automated dynamic sorting devices are known.
  • large-volume systems are in use that provide for sorting by mechanical slides installed transversely to the conveying direction.
  • the items to be conveyed are fed into the sorting section one after the other and, based on their properties, a specific slider is activated for a specific item, which pushes the item to be conveyed into the correct branch as soon as this item to be conveyed passes the slider.
  • This type of sorting is mechanically complex and rather slow, because the conveying speed is limited by the slide moving out and back into the rest position.
  • the conveyed goods must necessarily be fed in a row one behind the other with appropriate gaps in between.
  • a conveyor device for handling distributed articles is described in European patent EP 1 556297 B1.
  • a device or a device section for conveying individual items to be conveyed is disclosed here, in which the conveying area is divided into a plurality of conveyor belts arranged one behind the other and next to one another, which can operate at different speeds in each case.
  • the speed of one or more of the conveyor belts arranged one behind the other can be controlled by a stored control algorithm in such a way that one item is transported faster or slower in relation to the neighboring item. In this way, a distance can be increased or decreased between these two items to be conveyed. It is also possible to rotate a conveyed item around its own axis.
  • a technical device is known from European patent specification EP 2059467 B1, in which one or more robots are used to produce sufficient distances between the conveyed goods, which robots lift individual goods from the main conveying line and lift them up transferred to a secondary conveyor line and then thread it back into a suitable gap between the goods on the main conveyor line.
  • This is a very complex solution for such a system, and its throughput is very limited, since the removal and repositioning of the individual goods, which is carried out by the robot or robots, is very time-consuming. In addition, this system also takes up a lot of productive space.
  • sorting conveyors are known from various manufacturers, such as, for example, Transnorm System GmbH or Apollo BV, which have a conveyor section with conveyor wheels arranged in rows transverse to the conveying direction and driven jointly by a motor.
  • the conveyor wheels of the entire section are rotatably mounted and can be rotated at a predetermined fixed angle.
  • the conveyor wheels rotate together and the conveyed item is ejected, after which the conveyor wheels either remain in this position in order to eject a subsequent conveyed item or they can return to their starting position for further conveying be moved back in the original conveying direction.
  • the device and the method should preferably allow sorting of the conveyed goods by moving them individually (dynamic sorting).
  • the throughput of the sorting device should be high with a reliable sorting function, even for flows of conveyed goods that are supplied in bulk.
  • the sorting device or the sorting method should also be changeable without structural changes to the system in terms of the movement possibilities of the conveyed goods on which the sorting is based.
  • a conveyor system for sorting a first unit of conveyed goods and a second unit of conveyed goods while simultaneously transporting the units of conveyed goods in a conveying direction z, comprising: a feed device for feeding in at least the first unit of conveyed goods and the second unit of conveyed goods in a first arrangement, with the first The conveyed goods unit and the second conveyed goods unit are fed in sections at the same time in the conveying direction z, and where they are fed orthogonally to the conveying direction z offset from one another, one or more subsequent conveying sections with several, in the conveying direction z, one behind the other and next to one another conveyed goods drives for transporting the conveyed goods units at an actual speed,
  • Detection means for typifying detection of the individual conveyed goods units, means for determining a target position of the first conveyed goods unit and the second conveyed goods unit, a control/regulation for controlling or regulating a sorted arrangement of the first conveyed goods unit and the second conveyed goods unit based on said desired positions, characterized , that
  • the conveyed goods drives are designed and set up in such a way that they can move the individual conveyed goods units individually or in a plurality working together in any direction in the conveying plane in such a way that the sorted arrangement of the first conveyed goods unit relative to the second conveyed goods unit is present when it passes over into a subsequent conveying section , where the sorted order is different from the first order, where
  • the conveyor drives are each driven individually or in groups by means of a motor and can be controlled individually or in groups by the controller/regulator, and wherein
  • the detection means can send a signal to the control/regulation with information on properties of the first conveyed goods unit and the second conveyed goods unit

  • the device according to the invention advantageously makes it possible to produce a predetermined, sorted arrangement of the conveyed goods in a variable manner, even in the case of conveyed goods that are not ordered and/or are not fed in individually one after the other. Furthermore, a lower Space requirements of the device are met, because due to the movement of the conveyed goods individually and variably in each direction of the conveying plane, the movements for generating the sorting can be carried out without needing a long distance.
  • the device according to the invention thus has the ability to produce reliable sorting even over a short transport distance and thus in a short period of time.
  • the device according to the invention can individually produce the required sorting of the conveyed goods by moving them (dynamic sorting).
  • the conveying speed can be adjusted individually, it can even be negative if, for example, an individual conveyed item has to cross other conveyed items or their movements without colliding in order to reach its target position. This is not possible with previously known systems.
  • the throughput of the sorting device is very high with a reliable sorting function, since the individual sorting movements of the conveyed goods are carried out with the conveying system according to the invention in a very small space compared to the previously known systems.
  • the device according to the invention can also be changed in the possibilities of movement of the conveyed goods on which the sorting is based, without structural changes to the system.
  • the present invention relates to a conveyor system for sorting units of conveyed goods with simultaneous transport of the units of conveyed goods in a conveying direction z, which can also be referred to as sorting in technical jargon.
  • two functions are essentially fulfilled simultaneously by the device with its facilities for subsequent further transport, in particular for further transport through several further conveyor sections that lead to different destinations:

  • the conveying direction z can run along a straight line, but it can also describe a path that is not straight and has, for example, curves, curvatures and/or changes in direction.
  • a conveying direction can be understood as a local conveying direction, e.g. based on the direction of movement of one or more adjacent conveyed goods units, or globally between a feed device and a desired exit point (e.g. the end of a conveying section of the conveying system), without excluding other definitions.
  • a target distance d between two units of conveyed goods can be predefined and have a specific size, for example.
  • the target distance can also be dependent on one or more parameters of the conveyed item(s).
  • a different (larger) target distance d should result for a large conveyed goods unit and/or fast conveyed goods unit than for a small conveyed goods unit and/or slow conveyed goods unit.
  • the size of the conveyor unit for the calculation can be scaled by a factor greater than 1, e.g. 1.1, before the distance is calculated. It can also be taken into account if a unit of conveyed goods is rather elongated, i.e. if the ratio of the sides (length/width) is, for example, greater than 2 or less than 0.5.
