    专利说明:

    The invention relates to a Reihengruppierungseinrichtung for moving product lines relative to a stationary or moving surface.
    In the production of general cargo in the food industry, especially in biscuits, or other products that must be received from an oven incoming there are two known problems. Since the end of the process or oven belt usually consists of a very large end deflection drum to which a subsequent conveyor belt, e.g. the main conveyor belt of a system can not be introduced without a gap, the mostly small biscuits must be transferred by means of a transition plate to the subsequent main conveyor belt. The products can not be actively conveyed while they are on the transition plate. It is often done so that the transition plate is arranged at an angle so that the products get slipping on the successor belt. Another variant is that always the subsequent row overshadows the row currently lying on the transition plate to the following main band. In both variants, the existing order of the products within the rows and also the position of the rows is disturbed. This systematic disorder in the row pattern results in serious parts for the subsequent packaging process.
    Frequently, in addition, the freshly produced product lines must be transferred to each other in a different arrangement and in a different speed, so that the requirements for the subsequent packaging process can be met. This is always done subsequently with a number of particular bands and alignment devices.
    It is the object of the invention to solve the problem of the prior art in the acquisition of product lines and also to meet the other requirements regarding the change of arrangement and speed of product lines for the packaging process.
    This is achieved by a grouping device according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1.
    In the following, a preferred embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Show it<Tb> FIG. 1 <SEP> is a schematic sectional view of a grouping device for transferring products from a process belt P to a main conveyor belt V<Tb> FIG. 2 <SEP> is a plan view of the grouping device shown in FIG<Tb> FIG.

    As shown in Fig. 1, ends a process or oven belt P with a Endumlenkungstrommel 1 with a large diameter. An existing between this process belt and a subsequent main conveyor belt V distance is bridged by a transition plate 2.
    An active conveying of the product rows 12 takes place by means of a grouping device 3 arranged above the belts, which engages behind each product row, actively conveys them over the transition plate and then releases them on the main conveyor belt.
    The grouping device 3 consists, as shown particularly in Fig. 5, of two known linear transport systems 4 and 5 which are arranged opposite to each other and parallel to each other on both sides of the conveyor tracks.
    Such a linear transport system is offered for example under the name "XTS eXtended Transport System» by Beckhoff on the market. This system has a number of on a closed guide track 6 rotating carriers 7, so-called. Movers, which are individually driven and controlled.
    For the grouping device according to the present invention, the control of the drivers is designed so that they move synchronously on the guideways, i. E. There are always two associated drivers exactly opposite each other.
    In addition, two consecutive drivers belong together on each of the two guideways and are interconnected by an isosceles articulated rod 8. Depending on the distance between the two consecutive mating carrier, the center joint 9 of the joint rod is height adjustable.
    The opposing center joints 9 of the two pairs of dogs on the two guide rails are connected by a cross-beam 10. Aligning means 11, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, alignment cams, are mounted on the underside of the crosspiece. In another embodiment variant, the alignment means consist of an alignment strip attached to the crosspiece and extending transversely across the band. Due to the mentioned height adjustment and the cross-beam with the alignment bar is adjusted in height and in such a way that the alignment bar can immerse in its lowest position in a gap between two product lines. By synchronous forward movement of the two pairs of driving the product row is pushed over the transition plate and passed with a suitable speed to the subsequent band.
    In the situation shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the grouping device is arranged over a transfer point of a process belt P on a faster-moving main band V and serves there to transfer the incoming product lines speed synchronously with the main band on this.
    In general, any flow with piece goods can be transferred with a given row image over a band transition and thereby modulated to any flow with a different row pattern.
    A product stream of regularly row incoming bulk goods consisting of single rows, double or multiple rows or formations with uniform speed must be passed from band P to band V. Essentially, the following requirements must be fulfilled:<tb> 1. <SEP> The position-conformant acceptance of product lines arriving on belt P and the position-compliant transfer of the product series to the following main belt V.<tb> 2. <SEP> The speed-conforming synchronized transfer of the product lines arriving on band P and the speed-conforming synchronized transfer to the following main band.
    There are also different arrangements of Stückgutreihen that arrive on the process tape. This is a consequence of the production process. There are basically two main arrangements. This is on the one hand a regular row pattern in which all rows have the same number of products and all products within the rows have the same relative position to each other. Here is a continuous gap between adjacent rows transverse to the main conveying direction.
    On the other hand, an offset row image is at the e.g. alternately the number of products within the rows is different from each other and thus the relative position of the products is different from row to row. Here there is typically no continuous gap between adjacent rows transverse to the main conveying direction. In principle, the product rows arriving with a regular row pattern can be taken over with an alignment strip positioned transversely to the main conveying direction over the band transition. For this purpose, the alignment bar is synchronized to the speed of the process band P and simultaneously positioned vertically downwards. Thus, then dips the alignment bar in the existing continuous gap between adjacent rows and can then push the relevant series on the transition plate on the following main band P. It is superimposed possible to modulate each row individually speed so that any row image on the following main band is generated.
    This transfer is also possible with an offset row image that arrives on the process tape. There is no longer a gap between adjacent rows. In such an arrangement, the alignment bar is equipped with appropriately suitable cam 10, which are then positioned transversely to the main conveying direction vertically downwards into the existing gaps between adjacent products, then again each row individually modulated speed, so or to overshoot, so an arbitrary row pattern can be generated on the following main band.
    In addition to the transfer of product series or formations via a band transition, e.g. from a furnace belt P with a very large deflection diameter to a downstream conveyor belt with a smaller deflection diameter, a multiplicity of different transfer variants is possible with the grouping device. Some of these transfer options are shown in Figs. 6-23
    Transfer of product lines arriving on belt P or formations of intermittent speed onto belt V at a uniform speed. That the flow of product lines arriving at intermittent speed is conveyed across the belt transfer and transferred to a uniform continuous flow at a constant speed.
    Transfer of product series arriving on belt P or formations of constant uniform speed to belt V at intermittent speed. That the flow of product lines arriving at a constant rate is conveyed across the belt transfer and transferred to an intermittent, variable speed pulsed flow.
    Transfer of a uniform product flow at a constant speed from mutually staggered piece goods rows into a uniform stream of aligned rows, double or multiple rows or formations.
    Transfer of a uniform product flow with intermittent speed from mutually staggered piece goods rows into a uniform stream of aligned rows, double or multiple rows or formations. Transfer of a uniform product flow with intermittent speed from mutually staggered piece goods rows into an intermittent stream of aligned rows, double or multiple rows or formations.
    While in the embodiments described so far, the two conveyor belts P and V are arranged at the same level, it is, as shown in Figs. 24 - 25, with the inventive device also possible product lines from a process conveyor belt P to a main conveyor V to transfer, which is at a different level than the process conveyor belt. The following band may be lower or higher than the previous one. Of course, this also applies to the transition shown in Figs. 3-4 between two bands.
