    Abstract: An accumulation conveyor system for supporting and moving a plurality of objects. The conveyor system is divided into a plurality of zones wherein each zone includes a top and bottom conveying surface and wherein a space is defined between the top and bottom surfaces. Each zone also includes its own motor positioned external to the space between the conveying surfaces and coupled to the conveying surfaces via a non-slip connection. A control system is connected to the motor and controls the power to the motor so that the conveying surfaces in each zone can be moved independently. Whenever a sensor detects an empty downstream zone, it signals the control system of the upstream zone to power the motor and move the object to fill the empty zone. The control system may also be configured to allow a soft start wherein motor speed is increased gradually.

    Abstract translation: 一种用于支撑和移动多个物体的堆积输送系统。 输送系统被分成多个区域,其中每个区域包括顶部和底部输送表面,并且其中在顶部和底部表面之间限定空间。 每个区域还包括其自身的马达,位于输送表面之间的空间的外部,并通过防滑连接与输送表面联接。 控制系统连接到电动机并控制电动机的电力,使得每个区域中的输送表面可以独立地移动。 每当一个传感器检测到一个空的下游区域时,它就会向上游区域的控制系统发出信号,为马达提供动力并移动物体以填充空的区域。 控制系统还可以被配置为允许电动机速度逐渐增加的软启动。
