摘要:
The conveyor comprises a plurality of sliding runners (5) coupled to guiding elements (2) that are fixed to a rotary platform (1). Each runner (5) has fixed thereto a cam follower (6) inserted in a groove (3) of the rotary platform (1) and coupled to a stationary closed-loop cam (4), and a retaining element (7) having a suction port (8) for retaining a container (M) and a suction outlet (9) in communication with the suction port (8). A stationary suction chamber (10) located above the rotary platform (1) has a perforated side wall (11) parallel to a portion of the closed-loop cam (4). Each suction outlet (9) moves in a path facing and adjacent to the perforated side wall (11) of the suction chamber (10) during a part of each rotation of the rotary platform.

The invention relates to an apparatus and method for positioning articles, comprising multiple unloading operations per cycle. The inventive apparatus comprises means for placing articles (20) in housings (1) that move along the length of a closed circuit which is equipped with at least first and second drop sites (2a, 2b) through which the correctly-oriented articles (20) fall from each housing (1) into a corresponding alignment conduit (3) which moves below, and together with, each housing (1). In addition, compartments (4) are positioned between the alignment conduits (3). According to the invention, transfer means (40) transfer each article (20) from a conduit (3) to a compartment (4) after said article has fallen through the first drop site (2a), but before it has reached the second drop site (2b). Subsequently, extraction means extract the correctly-oriented and -aligned articles (20) from the conduits (3) and compartments (4) and transfer same to an outfeed conveyor.
摘要:
The machine is intended for articles (A) having a different geometric configuration (A1) on one of their ends. Said machine has a linear transport device (20) for the articles (A) in lying position which has been pre-oriented in longitudinal direction with respect to said different geometric configuration (A1) that is located either in the front or back part relative to the direction of advancement of said transporting device (20). The machine also comprises a positioning station (80) of the articles (A) orienting the articles vertically and associated with the transporting device (20) and output transporting means (40) of the articles (A) that are oriented in vertical position and aligned. The machine also includes lifting means (11) to transfer the articles (A) from a bulk container (10) to a feed device (60) having first and second inclined plane (61, 62), converging in a chute space (63) on the transporting device (20). The positioning station (80) comprises a rotating element (81) provided with cavities (82) for receiving the articles (A) in a substantially radial position and with the geometric configuration (A1) in the desired position.
摘要:
Controllable machine for the vertical orientation and alignment of empty containers, comprising a plurality of compartments (6) linked to a first rotary structure (7) to receive the containers (A) in a flat position, said compartments (6) having an open bottom delimited by bearing configurations (11 and 12) for the open extremity (A1) of the container (A), adjacent to the front and rear parts, a plurality of chute conducts (8) associated to said structure (7), underneath each compartment (6), to receive the falling containers (A) and to transfer them in a vertical position and aligned to another equipment and fixed support plane (9) arranged between said compartments (6) and said conducts (8); a discharge interruption (10) is provided of which the support configuration for the open extremity (A1) of the container (A) adjacent to said front part of the compartment (6) comprises an elongate element (11) which can move inside the compartment so as to adapt its position to the size of the container; all these elements (11) are associated to a second structure (15) which is displaced in association with said first structure (7), the relative position of the second structure (14) with respect to the first structure (7) being adjustable.

The invention relates to a transfer star wheel comprises a vertical-axis rotational structure (26) and a stationary structure (27), a vertical movement mechanism for moving first gripping elements along first guiding elements from an upper level at an inlet site (28) to a lower level at an outlet site (29) and again to the upper level at the inlet site in the course of each turn, and a circumferential movement mechanism for moving second gripping elements along second guiding elements from a position corresponding to a pitch (P) at the inlet site to a position moved half a pitch (P/2) at the outlet site and again to the circumferential position corresponding to the pitch (P) at the inlet site in the course of each turn of the rotational structure (26).
摘要:
The path changing rotational conveyor (50) for lightweight articles comprises: a rotor (1) with receiving configurations (2) distributed along its periphery to be coupled with the lightweight articles and a perimetric wall (4) with a plurality of suction openings (5) in correspondence with the receiving configurations (2); and a stationary negative pressure chamber (6) defining a laterally open channel facing the perimetric wall (4) of the rotor along a predetermined circumferential arc. The negative pressure chamber (6) is partly delimited by the perimetric wall (4) of the rotor and, when the rotor rotates, the suction openings (5) are communicated directly with the negative pressure chamber (6) along the predetermined circumferential arc. The rotor (1) is connected to rotation means and the chamber (6) is communicated with a suction source.
