Device for the continuous conveying and turning of workpieces

摘要

A device for continuous conveying and turning of workpieces has a drivable, endless, flexible troughed belt (12) with a plurality of bars, parallel in the direction of conveyance (F) and articulated to each other. In order to form the trough, each of the ends of the troughed belt is guided around a ring (14) or a circular disk 13 parallel to a reference plane (S.sub.6 &bgr;), respectively, as well as two guide rollers (10, 10', 11, 11') which are paraxial to the circular disk and the ring. For disturbance-free conveyance of large and small workpieces, the reference plane (S.sub.6 &bgr;) forms a line of intersection (S.sub.6) , inclined (angle &agr;) to the direction of conveyance (F), with a horizontal plane and the ends of the bars (18) are swingable around a swing axis (26) which is perpendicular to the direction of rotation (arrow 17) of the troughed belt (12), the axis being in each case oriented in the region of the circular disk (13) and the ring (14) respectively and of the guide rollers (10, 10', 11, 11') radially to their axes of rotation.
