DISPLACING SYSTEM FOR DISPLACING COMNVEYOR UNITS FROM A HORIZONTAL CHAIN COMVEYOR SYSTEM TO ANOTHER ON EAND METHOD OF SHIFTING COMVEYOR UNITS FROM THEIR MAIN ROUTE TO A SIDE ONE IN A HORIZONTAL CHAIN CONVEYOR MATERIAL HANDLING SYSTEM

摘要

When uitsluizen of a transport unit (3), the floor chain (6) of said siding (2) is moved over a pitch distance (PZ) which is slightly greater than the length of a transport unit (3), and which is selected so that after the displacement another carrier element (7) is located at a position ready for a pin (11) to channel transport unit (3) to bring a next, until the conveyor unit (3) reaches an intermediate position in which they have to a portion in the track (14) of the non-distributed funneled transport units (3) is situated. When moved to the next one transport unit (3) must also be uitgesluisd, the towline (10) of the siding (2) again on the aforementioned pitch distance (PZ). When the next transport unit (3) further comprises the main track (1) must next, the floor chain (6) of said siding (2) over such submissive ENTERED distance (X) moves that in the intermediate standing conveyor unit (3) out of the path (14) of the non-distributed funneled transport units (3) is located upside down to the floor chain (6) is displaced in the opposite sense over a return distance (Y) until the actuating element (7), ...
