Device for stopping piece goods, in particular workpiece carriers or workpieces, on an accumulation conveyor

摘要

A device (22) for stopping piece goods (12), in particular workpiece carriers or workpieces, on a accumulation conveyor (11) is proposed. The device (22) has a blocking position and a passage position for the piece goods (12). With at least one stop leg (52), the device (22) can engage in the movement path of the piece goods (12). There is also a spring (44) for resetting the device (22) into the locked position. According to the invention, at least one bearing leg (50) is provided, which is arranged below the transport plane of the accumulation conveyor (11) and which is pivotally mounted on the accumulation conveyor (11) at one end. The at least one stop leg (52) for engaging in the movement path of the piece goods (12) is arranged at the other end of the at least one bearing leg (50). As a result, the spring (44) does not experience any force due to the stopped piece goods (12). The device (22) is of simple construction. The spring (44) can also be easily replaced.
