Transport device and method for transporting animal products on a farm

摘要

Transport device for transporting animal products on a farm, comprising - a conveyor - a drive belt (12a, b, c) for driving the conveyor belt in at least one direction of transport - a sensor (40) for detecting a deviation of a location of an edge of the conveyor belt, which is configured and arranged to issue a deviation signal when the location of the conveyor belt deviates from a set value by a predetermined value , - a correction device (20) is configured and arranged to change the orientation of the belt drive (12a, b, c) according to a correction signal, characterized by - a measuring device (1130, 1131, 1132, 1133, 1134), which is configured and arranged to determine a measure for a load of the conveyor, - a control device which is configured to generate a is the correction according to the deviation signal and deliver it to correction device (20), and further configured to compare the measure for the load of the conveyor belt (1300) with a setpoint, - a second sensor (40) for detecting a deviation of a location of another edge of the conveyor belt, which is configured and arranged to issue a deviation signal when the location of the other edge of the conveyor belt deviates from a setpoint in a predetermined value, the control device being configured to change the orientation of the belt drive (12a, b, c) in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first depending on which of the two sensors outputs the deviation signal .
