Embodiment Construction

[0023] FIG. 1 shows a schematic plan view of a first advantageous embodiment and a second advantageous embodiment of a transport carrier 1 according to the invention in the upper half and the lower half, respectively.

[0024] The transport carrier 1 in the figure has a conveyor belt 2 with a matrix, that is to say with a 3-hole pattern of receiving and fixing holes. The conveyor belt 2 is formed as an essentially flat rectangular long belt. The conveyor belt 2 is made in this exemplary embodiment from a flexible metal or plastic material that complies with food regulations. Furthermore, the conveyor belt 2 has a reinforcing material, for example a special fiber mat or the like, in order to give the transport carrier 1 sufficient strength.

[0025] In this respect, the matrix of receiving and fixing holes 3 is formed by punched holes punched in pairs on the conveyor belt 2 in a regular sequence in the longitudinal direction. In this respect, the receiving and fixing hole 3 s...

Abstract

A transport carrier (1) for precise-positioned supply of small parts (12) which can only be sorted with difficulty, especially plastic parts, characterized in that a flat transport strip (2) is provided with stamped receiving and fixing openings (3) for receiving positioning and jointing aids (4) arranged on said small parts (12). The invention also relates to a method for supplying small parts which can only be sorted with difficulty, especially small plastic parts, to a placement station, comprising the following steps: provision of positioning and jointing aids (4) which are connected to one or several small parts (12); securing the positioning and jointing aids (4) in the receiving and fixing openings (3) of a transport strip (2) by jointing or cold deformation; transferring the small parts (12) to the placement station via the transport carrier (1); precise-positioned removal of the small parts (12) from the receiving and fixing openings (3); and returning the transport carrier (1) to the supply circuit. The invention provides a reusable transport carrier for precise-positioned supply of small parts which can only be sorted with difficulty, enabling corresponding reductions to be made in the transport carrier and tool costs. The invention also enables the carrier strip to be fitted with interchangeable mould bars outside an injection moulding machine, thereby enabling waste parts to be sorted before despatching.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a transport carrier for positionally precise delivery of components according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for positionally precise delivery of components according to claim 7 . Background technique [0002] Transport devices for small parts are known from the prior art for transporting difficult-to-sort parts from a production plant to further processing plants such as automatic assembly machines, for example. For this purpose, for example, plastic small parts removed from an automatic injection molding machine are positioned on an adhesive tape and sent to the corresponding further processing unit. The plastic small parts are then separated from the shipping carrier, which itself is normally disposed of in a rewound or shredded state. In this respect, problems of positioning and removal arise especially when handling small parts that are glued on, since here the precise positioning of the small parts cannot be pre...
