Abstract:
The present application discloses vertical spiral conveyors for transporting loose material without the use of vibration or oscillation and methods of transporting materials without the use of vibration or oscillation. In certain embodiments, the vertical spiral conveyor (600) comprises a vertical spiral fabrication (690) having a spiral conveyor tray (680) connected to a vertical member (612) that is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation (670), a drive arm (660) extending from the vertical spiral fabrication (690), and a drive system for rotating the vertical spiral fabrication (690) about the axis of rotation (670). The drive system comprises a power source (610) and a transmission (620) coupled to the drive arm (660). The drive system generates alternating forward and backward strokes on the drive arm (660) that rotate the vertical spiral fabrication (690) clockwise and counterclockwise about the axis of rotation to cause loose material to be conveyed around the spiral conveyor tray (680).

The vibrating bowl (10) includes: a concave portion (10a) capable of storing therein collectivity of objects (15) to be fed; a feed passage (20) capable of feeding the objects (15) within the concave portion (10a) by vibrating the objects (15); and a step portion (26) configured to cause the objects to be ejected outside of the concave portion (10a) in a direction substantially perpendicular and downwardly oblique to a feed direction in which those objects (15) which are present in the vicinity of a termination of the feed passage (20) are fed.
Abstract:
A bowl for a vibratory feeder includes a wall portion having a generally circular cross section and a helical track having an inner diameter and an outer diameter. The wall portion comprises a plurality of slots and the track comprises a plurality of tabs which extend from one of the inner diameter or the outer diameter. The tabs are received in corresponding ones of the slots to thereby position the track relative to the wall portion.
Abstract:
A vibrating spiral conveyor includes a vibrating system with a useful mass and a counter mass which can be brought into a mutually oppositely oscillating rotational vibrating movement about a central axis of rotation over at least one driving device. The useful mass and the counter mass are mounted so that they can be moved with respect to one another over spring arrangements, which are distributed about the axis of rotation, a portion of the useful mass being a pot, which is disposed detachably and exchangably. The moments of inertia (MN, MG) of the useful mass and of the counter mass are in a defined ratio to one another and the pot, which can be mounted exchangeably, is designed so that the moment of inertia (MN) of the useful mass and, with that, the ratio of the moments of inertia (MN, MG) remain essentially unchanged.

Abstract:
A vibrating conveyor having a circular or helical conveying conduit driven with a vibrating motion by way of an electromagnet having alternating voltage. The conveying conduit emerges, at its end, into an overflow chute constructed in the form of a channel switching system. An overflow channel oscillates with a reciprocating motion about a pivoting shaft. Mechanical and electrical control devices are provided, so that the overflow channel can be brought into variable oscillating positions. The overflow channel includes a U-shaped section, pressing radially on a sliding surface, forming a circular zone and fixed on a pivoting shaft mounted on the sliding surface. This section is driven by a reciprocating motion in the peripheral direction of the circular zone about the pivoting shaft. Through the pivoting shaft, this section is rigidly connected to a guide rail open downwardly, arranged beneath the sliding surface and extending parallel thereto. In this guide rail is housed a cam, which is set on a control disk, arranged parallel to the sliding surface, such that when the control disk is driven in rotation by an electric motor, the cam causes the guide rail to oscillate with a reciprocating motion and, thus, the overflow channel above the sliding surface.
Abstract:
A vibratory bowl feeder with a track extending generally helically upwardly on the inside of the bowl and then generally helically downwardly on the outside of the bowl and a return pan on the exterior of the bowl for returning parts to the bottom of the bowl, the track, return pan and bottom having smooth part support surfaces with perforations uniformly arranged over their entire surface areas, the perforations having a size substantially less than the size of the parts and covering at least approximately 40% of the total area to reduce the area of contact between the parts and support surface so that the parts are propelled upwardly from the support surface with greater effect during the advancement phase of vibratory movement to enable the support surface to be retracted below the parts during the retraction phase of vibratory movement. The bottom, in lieu of bottom perforations, has a raised spiral rib with evenly spaced convolutions.
