摘要:
A sorting device for sorting products, comprising successive carrier units each provided with a load carrying platform having a front arcuate edge and a rear arcuate edge, the arcuate shape of the front edge of a load carrying platform matching the arcuate shape of the rear edge of a next load carrying platform located at the front side of the load carrying platform in question. Each load carrying platform is provided with a supporting surface between the front edge and the rear edge. The sorting device further comprises conveying means for conveying the load carrying platforms in a conveying direction along a conveying path and sorting means comprising an elongated pusher element for each load carrying platform for pushing a product to be sorted sideways off at least one supporting surface, using at least one pusher element, at a desired sorting location. The pusher elements each extend above at least part of said at least one load carrying platform and are designed for joint transport with the at least one load carrying platform. The sorting means further comprise two elongated passages extending transversely to the conveying direction in the respective load carrying platform, and drive means at least partially provided under the load carrying platforms for moving a pusher element sideways between two opposite extreme lateral positions at a desired sorting location. The pusher element is connected to the drive means via two connecting elements which engage a pusher element at two different longitudinal positions and which each extend through one of the two passages in the load carrying platform. The pusher element is provided asymmetrically relative to the two associated passages, at least in an extreme position thereof.

An apparatus (1) for transport and controlled discharge of products (2) comprises a guide (7) , a transport unit (3) including a support tray (4) for supporting a product and driving means for transporting the transport unit (3) in a transporting direction (X). The transport unit (3) is provided with a pushing member (6) which is displaceable with respect to the support tray (4) in a displacement direction extending transversely with respect to the transporting direction for pushing a product from the support tray. The pushing member (6) is provided with a pushing portion (10) which pushes against a product under operating conditions and an actuator (8) which is guidable along said guide (7) such that under operating conditions the pushing portion (10) is displaced with respect to the support tray (4) upon moving the transport unit in the transporting direction when the actuator (8) contacts the guide (7) . The pushing member (6) forms a substantially closed construction that surrounds the support tray (4) in a plane extending transversely with respect to the displacement direction of the pushing member. The transport unit (3) is provided with a pushing member guide (11) along which the pushing member (6) is mainly guided in the displacement direction under operating conditions. The pushing member guide (11) extends at the underside of the support tray (4).

An apparatus (1) for transport and controlled discharge of products (2) comprises a frame which is provided with a guide (7), a transport unit (3) including a support tray (4) for supporting a product (2) and driving means for transporting the transport unit (3) with respect to the frame in a transporting direction (X). The transport unit (3) is provided with a pushing member (6) which is displaceable with respect to the support tray (4) transversely with respect to the transporting direction (X) for pushing a product (2) from the support tray (4). The pushing member (6) is provided with a pushing portion (10) that pushes against a product (2) on the support tray (4) under operating conditions and an actuator (8) which is guidable along said guide (7) such that under operating conditions the pushing portion (10) is displaced with respect to the support tray (4) upon moving the transport unit (3) in the transporting direction (X) when the actuator (8) contacts the guide (7). The apparatus (1) is adapted such that the pushing portion (10) is resiliently connected to the frame when the actuator (8) contacts the guide (7) under operating conditions. The damping factor of said connection has such a low value that the process of compression and expansion of the resiliency (13) at least partly occurs within a period of contact of the actuator (8) and the guide (7).

A sorting apparatus for sorting products comprises an endless conveying element (3) comprising a support surface (4). The support surface (4) makes an angle with a horizontal plane, at least at the location of the outlets, about an axis parallel to the conveying direction. The sorting apparatus further comprises locking elements (7, 9) arranged one behind the other, as seen in the conveying direction, which move along synchronously with the conveying element (3) and which can be unlocked independently of each other, which locking elements (7, 9) function to hold the products (2) in place on the support surface (4). Upon activation of a selected unlocking mechanism, a product (2) is moved downwards from the conveying element towards the outlet under the influence of the force of gravity being exerted thereon.
摘要:
The invention relates to a sorting system for sorting bulk goods, wherein a plurality of sorter elements (1) are guided and run along a horizontal, preferably closed, track of a stationary guideway, the sorter elements (1) being driven in the direction of transport. One bulk good (5) is transported on each sorter element, either on one at a time or resting on several sorter elements, from a loading point to an unloading point, where it is loaded and/or unloaded transversally (7) to said direction of transport. In order to create a reliable and low-wear sorting system which is not sensitive to dust and other deposits and which produces minimal noise, it is suggested that the drive and guidance of the sorter elements (1) is carried out in a contactless manner, and the sorter elements carry the load in a floating manner.
