Embodiment Construction

[0010] In the following, the invention will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 1 in which the device is schematically shown.

[0011] In FIG. 1 , a number of elongated objects or products P are supplied on an endless supply conveyor 1 . The direction of movement of the feed conveyor is indicated by arrow A1. The feed conveyor belt is preferably a so-called V-channel conveyor belt with two endless flat belts formed by V-channels. For this V-shaped channel, when the products or objects are supplied to the V-shaped channel, they are arranged not only one behind the other, but also one above the other, in a single form, that is, lined up, one after the other. These belts can also move at different speeds so that the product or object can also be rotated to some extent by friction with the belts. The position of the products P in turn at the end of the feed conveyor 1 is shown schematically. For example, the drive of the end wheels is not shown.

Abstract

An apparatus for taking over singulated objects, in particular at least slightly elongated objects, wherein the objects are supplied on an endless feed conveyor (1) which is formed by two endless conveyor strips forming a V-channel, and wherein the objects are subsequently transferred to a following endless sorting conveyor (3) with transport positions at fixed mutual intermediate distances or pitch distances, wherein the apparatus further comprises an endless positioning conveyor (2) , immediately following the feed conveyor, as well as a control, which controls the speed of the conveyor (1) and of the positioning conveyor (2) , and hence the transfer of the objects onto the positioning conveyor (2) , wherein the intermediate distances of the transferred objects on the positioning conveyor correspond to values previously entered in the control, and wherein the objects are taken over from the positioning conveyor by the sorting conveyor (3) by means of grippers (4) . Preferably, at take-over by the grippers, the speed of the positioning conveyor and of the sorting conveyor are substantially equal. Such a conveyor system sa suitably sort delicate products such as chicory or pears whilst avoiding these products being damaged.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1 . Background technique [0002] Such a device is known from EP553933. In this publication, it is described how products or objects such as fruit can be supplied and conveyed to the next sorting conveyor sequentially (ie one after the other) and mutually separated by means of a so-called V-channel conveyor. The delivery position of the sorting conveyor belt is defined between two hourglass-shaped rollers made of discs. By means of these discs, the product or object can be turned, if necessary. The spaces between the discs are occupied by the pins of weighing forks which pass through the load cells and which can be tilted at the desired discharge station. [0003] This combination is well suited for products or objects that are substantially spherical. Due to their substantially symmetrical shape, the objects travel in a smooth manner when conveyed from the V-channel conveyor to s...
