1 TARIFF DEVELOPMENT IN TELESCOPIC CONVEYOR SYSTEMS Technical Area 5 This invention is suitable for logistics centers, distribution centers, cargo companies, airports, Telescopic conveyors, chains and belts used in storage facilities, etc. an additional drive motor that allows the drives to be managed in a sensor-assisted manner. It enables the final exit movement without needing to be manually removed, increases occupational safety, facilitates maintenance, and 10 It is related to the development of telescopic conveyor systems that offer a compact structure. Previous Technique In modern boom-type telescopic conveyor systems, the final output... The movements are generally provided by a separate drive motor. A separate drive motor requires 15 This need increases both the cost and the structure of the conveyor system. It makes things complicated. Chain breakage and belt slippage are common problems in telescopic conveyor systems used today. and risks such as finger entrapment are not being detected effectively enough, therefore Workforce losses due to employee injuries, malfunctions, and system downtime: 20 Undesirable situations such as these may arise. Control and fault monitoring systems are also used in telescopic conveyor systems today. It is limited, and extensive cabling is used in the communication infrastructure. This situation makes assembly difficult. This prolongs the duration, makes maintenance procedures more difficult, and makes the system less compact. This is due to the limited mobility and maintenance of the safety bars. 25 Difficulty in accessing the system is also a significant disadvantage of existing systems. Purpose of the Invention: The aim of this invention is to add an additional drive to the final exit movement in telescopic conveyor systems. providing it without the need for a motor, thus reducing costs and the conveyor The goal is to eliminate complexity from the system. 2 The aim of this invention is to improve the safety of workers in telescopic conveyor systems. Therefore, the aim is to prevent unwanted accidents. The purpose of this invention is to detect situations such as chain breakage and belt slippage using sensors. with the help of the telescopic conveyor system, it can be detected quickly. The goal is to stop it before it leads to bigger problems. The aim of this invention is to enable control, monitoring and fault tracking in telescopic conveyor systems. The aim is to enable this to be carried out through a central HMI (Human-Machine Interface) screen. The purpose of this invention is to create an IO communication module (receiving) in telescopic conveyor systems. (using electronic hardware that collects and processes data and transmits it to control systems) The goal is to reduce wiring and installation labor. 15 The aim of this invention is a compact, modular and easy-to-maintain telescopic conveyor system. to create.

Roll control sensor Description of the Invention: 30 The subject of the invention, the telescopic conveyor (1), includes more than one telescopic chassis (2), Controlled movement of chassis (2) within each other by wheel modules (3) with original design It is provided via. Wheel modules (3), telescopic chassis (2) when nested 35 4 It is open to external interference and the adjustment bolts on the wheel modules (3) (3.1) allows for easy adjustment of the tension. Also, the wheel Thanks to its modules (3), the telescopic chassis (2) can be disassembled in module form when needed. It provides the possibility. Wheel modules (1) are a machined part and are axial. Its movement is provided by the pressure force of the bolt (3.1) and at the same time, for adjustment purposes, 5 It is machined in the form of a socket in which the key can work. There is a problem with the wheel (3.2). It also provides the possibility of removing the wheel (3.2) separately from the wheel module. In the product subject to the invention, the belt drive is provided by drum motor (10), A narrower chassis structure has been achieved. The drum motor in the product subject to the invention is 10 The mounting module (13) that we will assemble, the drum motor (10) is disassembled on the lateral axis. Because we designed it in a way that allows us to make the chassis narrower, It is well-known, and also allows for quick replacement of the drum motor during maintenance. This special Assembly module (13) drum motor assembly and disassembly from the slotted area on its two ears It is a separate module welded to the chassis, enabling us to assemble it, and it is a unique design. Assembly 15 There is a tension bolt (13.1) on module (13). The chain drive system (4) provides the movement of the final chassis (2b), and this movement This is achieved without the use of an additional drive motor. It has a boom breaking structure. In systems where the last exit (2b) first enters and then exits, chain drive 20 This is achieved thanks to the mechanical design integrated into the system (in chain chassis). It is steered, transmitted and / or manipulated with the help of the upper or lower gears located there. using parts such as adjustment and / or fastening parts). Here the chain (4.1) is the same. By pulling the gears (4.2) through the chassis from beginning to end, a cycle is created and the created It comes back from the loop and connects to the next chassis. This means the first movement is the last one to exit at 25. This has ensured that it is given. (Figure-11, Figure-12) The product subject to the invention has a chain break sensor (6) at the main chassis (2a) chain turning point. There is a main chassis chain breaking point, which occurs when the chain breaks at any point. The chain breaks at the point where it will release itself, therefore, if the chain breaks, the chain breaks at point 30. This situation is detected by the sensor and sent to the PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). (5) is transmitted to the controller and the telescopic conveyor is stopped. The product that is the subject of the invention has a belt slip sensor (7) located in the drum motor area. The belt slippage tendency is greatest in the drive zone where the initial movement occurs, therefore belt 35 When there is a slippage, this situation is detected by the belt slip sensor (7) and sent to the PLC. (5) transmitting to the Programmable Logic Controller and the telescopic conveyor It is ensured that it stops. Thanks to the chain break sensor (6) and belt slip sensor (7), in case of possible malfunctions The system is automatically shut down. 5 There is a safety roller (8) at the front of the telescopic conveyor (1). The safety roller is a roller It is placed inside the housing (14) and the roll control is also in the section where the roll housing is located. It has a sensor (15) (Figure-13). Possible finger entrapment during operation. In this case, the safety roller (8) moves inside the roller housing (14) to prevent jamming. 10 By detecting this movement, the system automatically prevents it thanks to the roller control sensor (15). It is closing as such. The product subject to the invention has a collision safety bar (9) at the front. The safety bar (9) spring (9.1) and thanks to the bearings (9.2), it has biaxial motion capability and a single 15 It is controlled by a sensor. Thanks to the two-axis movement of the safety bar (9), it is single The sensor enables the detection of movement in two directions. (Figure-14) In the product described in the invention, system control is performed by an HMI screen integrated into a telescopic conveyor. (11) is done via (Figure-15) motor speed and frequency values, communication 20 Errors and system warnings can be monitored from here. Also, in the product that is the subject of the invention... Using the Profinet IO communication module (12) at the front of the conveyor (Figure-15) Cabling has been reduced, resulting in a simpler and more reliable structure. 30 35
