Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a separation device for conveying and separating workpieces. The invention also relates to a conveying device for conveying a workpiece carrier, the conveying support having a receiving area for accommodating workpieces that are being separately conveyed or positioned. The invention further relates to a loading system having both a separation device and a conveying device. Background Technology

[0002] A separation device and a loading system are used to load a workpiece carrier, which is then used for further processing of workpieces, such as those in a coating device. The separation device is used to individually guide multiple disordered, compact, and relatively small workpieces or objects, such as spheres, polyhedra, or spherical objects, into predetermined positions and / or onto predetermined locations, such as receiving areas on the workpiece carrier. Therefore, the separation device is used to first separate individual or multiple workpieces, and then transport and / or position and / or secure the workpieces individually or in defined groups to corresponding receiving areas and / or onto the workpiece carrier of the loading system.

[0003] The conveying device for transporting workpiece carriers is used to spatially position the workpiece carriers on the separating device. In particular, the conveying device is used to position a receiving area on the separating device for accommodating the separately positioned workpieces.

[0004] To position the separated workpieces in their respective receiving areas and / or within them, a conveying device moves the workpiece carrier to the separating device and positions it there. After conveying or positioning the workpiece, the workpiece carrier is removed from the separating device. Thus, the conveying device enables both workpiece loading and subsequent removal of the workpiece carrier.

[0005] Here, the receiving area of ​​the workpiece carrier is particularly suitable for receiving, holding, and securing compact workpieces, i.e., spherical (steel ball, metal ball, or the like) or multifaceted (cubic, ellipsoidal, pyramidal, or similar) workpieces. The receiving area can, for example, be arranged on the end section of a receiving sleeve, the end section being specifically designed to hold and secure the corresponding workpiece (e.g., having a recess). The receiving area of ​​the workpiece carrier can, for example, be arranged in a crown-like or circular shape around a vertical axis.

[0006] In order to ensure uniform coating of some and / or all surfaces of the workpiece after the loaded workpiece carrier is removed, the workpiece may be connected to a rotatable receiving area and / or force-locked and / or form-locked in the rotatable receiving area and / or on the form-locked.

[0007] EP1917380B1 shows a device having multiple circularly arranged, rotatable receiving areas that are rotatably arranged around a drive shaft.

[0008] To equip such a workpiece carrier, the workpiece is typically arranged manually in the receiving area. Such manual arrangement is time-consuming and can lead to undesirable contamination of the workpiece. Dirt on the workpiece, such as water, dust, and / or grease deposits, can severely affect or completely hinder subsequent uniform processing of the workpiece, such as processing by coating. Sensitive workpieces may also be damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved separation device, an improved conveying device, and an improved loading system, wherein these disadvantages are at least partially reduced.

[0010] This invention is based on the understanding that the special arrangement of the components of the separating device, conveying device, and loading system enables rapid, gentle, and reliable separation and placement of workpieces. Therefore, workpiece separation and placement can be automated or semi-automatic. This significantly reduces time-consuming and problematic manual work.

[0011] The separation device for conveying and separating workpieces according to the present invention includes a workpiece storage, a first separation tray having a first separation chamber, and a conveying tray having a workpiece guide. The first separation tray is configured to be movable relative to the conveying tray between a receiving position and a conveying position. In the conveying position, the first separation chamber is arranged aligned with the workpiece guide. The first separation chamber is designed and constructed to convey workpieces disposed in the first separation chamber to the corresponding workpiece guide.

[0012] "Aligned" describes an arrangement in which the walls of two adjacent elements are oriented flush with each other. In the transport position, the first separation chamber is aligned with the workpiece guide. Here, the walls of the separation chamber and the workpiece guide are arranged relative to each other such that the walls of the separation chamber and the workpiece guide have a common geometric reference axis and / or form a common wall surface, which is only segmented by the corresponding contacting side edges of the adjacent elements. This aligned arrangement enables particularly precise and gentle transport of the workpiece. Under the influence of gravity, the workpiece slides from the separation chamber into the connected workpiece guide and then through the workpiece guide into the corresponding receiving area (e.g., a recess) of the workpiece carrier.

[0013] One embodiment includes a second separation disc with a second separation chamber configured and arranged to align with the first separation disc in its receiving position. In this receiving position, the first separation disc is arranged such that it can accommodate one workpiece in each of its first separation chambers, the workpiece having been positioned there, for example, from a workpiece storage device during the separation process. The second separation disc can be arranged on top of the first separation disc. The second separation disc can be force-locked and / or form-locked and / or material-locked connected to a conveyor disc. The second separation disc can, for example, be arranged adjacent to the first separation disc. In the receiving position of the first separation disc, the second separation chamber of the second separation disc can be aligned with the first separation chamber, allowing multiple workpieces to be stacked on top of each other or vertically stacked in their respective separation chambers during the separation process. Thus, multiple workpiece carriers can be equipped with workpieces before the separation chambers must be refilled.

[0014] There are embodiments in which the separation chambers and workpiece guides are arranged annularly and coaxially around a rotation axis. The term "separation chamber" includes a first separation chamber, a second separation chamber, or all of the separation chambers. The first separation disc, the second separation disc, and / or the conveyor disc may have an annular and / or disc-shaped basic shape. Coaxiality describes an arrangement in which multiple elements share a common reference axis.

[0015] For example, the separation chambers can be arranged circumferentially at equal radii or radially at intervals in the edge region near the periphery of the first separation disc and / or in the edge region of the second separation disc. Furthermore, the workpiece guides can be arranged circumferentially at equal radii or radially at intervals in the edge region of the conveyor disc, for example. The annular and / or coaxial arrangement of the separation chambers and / or workpiece guides facilitates particularly rapid and uniform workpiece distribution.

[0016] An embodiment exists in which the first separating disc is moved from its receiving position to its conveying position in a circumferential direction against a restoring force. The circumferential direction can be clockwise or counterclockwise. The restoring force can be a spring force or the force of an elastic element. The restoring force can also be a force applied by another element. The restoring force guides the first separating disc from its conveying position back to its receiving position. This avoids the need for manual adjustment of the separating disc.

[0017] An embodiment exists in which the first separating disc is movably arranged between the second separating disc and the conveyor disc. The first separating disc is held between the second separating disc and the conveyor disc. For example, the first separating disc may be loosely and / or rotatably supported between the conveyor disc and the second separating disc. This arrangement structure holds the upper second separating disc together with the conveyor disc against torsion. In this respect, conveying is improved such that when the first separating disc is moved, only the first layer (lower layer) of the workpiece reaches the workpiece guide, while the second layer (upper layer) is initially held in the separation chamber of the second separating disc. The second layer only reaches the separation chamber of the lower first separating disc from the separation chamber of the second separating disc when the first separating disc is reset, at which point it reaches the separation chamber below it. This simplifies operation and / or automates separation or conveying.

[0018] There are embodiments in which the workpiece guides each have an access area with a guide chamfer. The term "guide chamfer" describes a sloped, curved surface created by machining the edge. For example, the workpiece guide may have a wink-shaped and / or abge-shaped guide chamfer, which may be constructed on a portion of the periphery. The guide chamfer in the access area of ​​the workpiece guide allows for particularly precise positioning and / or guiding of passing or falling workpieces.

[0019] One embodiment exists in which the workpiece storage device is constructed in a funnel shape. This funnel-shaped configuration allows for particularly reliable and uniform distribution of workpieces, especially spherical ones, onto the separation chamber.

[0020] One embodiment exists in which the workpiece storage includes a receiving area for accommodating workpieces, the receiving area transitioning into a conveying area within a region leading to separation chambers, and the conveying area being configured as an arcuate or sickle-shaped slit extending around multiple separation chambers. The term "receiving area" describes a region of the workpiece storage having a large opening area and increased workpiece accommodating volume. The conveying area may be arranged below the receiving area. The term "conveying area" specifically describes a region of the workpiece storage having a smaller opening area and / or a smaller basic shape compared to the receiving area. For example, the conveying area itself may be configured as an arcuate slit extending across multiple separation chambers. Alternatively, the conveying area may be configured, for example, as an additionally provided output device (e.g., a baffle) having an arcuately extending slit surrounding multiple separation chambers. The arcuate slit enables particularly smooth separation of workpieces from the workpiece storage into the separation chambers.

[0021] There is an embodiment in which the workpiece memory is movable between a dispensing position and an unloading position, the workpiece memory being rotatable about a rotation axis in its dispensing position and arranged in the region of the separation chamber with the conveying area of ​​the workpiece memory, and the workpiece memory extending radially outside the separation disk and the conveying disk with its conveying area in its unloading position, so that the workpiece can be transported out of the workpiece memory through the conveying area—for example, for emptying the workpiece memory.

[0022] The term "distribution position" describes a position or state in which the workpiece memory is rotatably supported on a first and / or second separation disc with its transport area about a rotation axis, thereby distributing workpieces through the workpiece memory. The term "unloading position" describes a position or state in which the workpiece memory extends beyond the edges of the first and / or second separation discs to facilitate the unloading of workpieces, for example, unloading the workpieces into an unloading device. By guiding the workpiece memory from the distribution position to the unloading position, workpieces can be removed from the workpiece memory particularly smoothly.

[0023] An embodiment exists in which the workpiece memory can be radially displaced from its allocation position to its unloading position relative to the rotation axis, overcoming a reset force. The reset force can be, for example, the spring force of a spring. Alternatively, the reset force can be a force applied by another element. This reset force enables the workpiece memory to be automatically guided back from the unloading position to the allocation position and avoids unintended emptying.

[0024] One embodiment exists in which the spring has a first end section disposed on the workpiece storage device, wherein the spring has a second end section disposed on a linear guide, for example, configured as a fork-shaped guide, which is rotatably supported about a rotation axis. The workpiece storage device may have a support device, such as a cantilever beam device, movably disposed on the fork-shaped guide, wherein the fork-shaped guide is movably supported about a rotation axis. For example, the spring may be disposed between the support device and the fork-shaped guide.

[0025] One embodiment includes at least one handle disposed on the separation disc, the handle having a grooved opening. The grooved opening is, for example, a continuous opening designed to restrict movement of elements disposed within the opening relative to it, and thus determine the displacement path of the separation disc. The handle is, for example, a grip or lug. The handle may be disposed laterally on the first separation disc, for example. The first separation disc may have multiple handles. Preferably, the handle may comprise two operating elements disposed opposite each other. The handle simplifies the user's operation of the first separation disc.

[0026] One embodiment exists in which a fixing element is arranged within the chute opening. The fixing element may be, for example, a pin, bolt, nail, protrusion, or similar element. The fixing element may further be designed for force-locking and / or form-locking and / or material-locking connection with the element (on which the fixing element is arranged) . The fixing element and the chute opening limit the possible movement of the first separating disc. Preferably, the fixing element and the chute opening are sized such that only relative movement of the first separating disc between a receiving position and a conveying position is possible.

[0027] The loading system according to the invention includes a separation device according to the invention and a conveying device for conveying a workpiece carrier having at least one receiving area for receiving workpieces positioned separately. The conveying device includes a guiding device, a workpiece carrier having the at least one receiving area, and a lifting slider for positioning the at least one receiving area. The lifting slider includes: a disc receiving member for receiving the workpiece carrier; and a lifting device designed to vertically lift the disc receiving member. The lifting device is designed to adjust the vertical distance between the disc receiving member and the receiving device. The guiding device is designed to move the disc receiving member in a plane parallel to the receiving device.

[0028] The housing device may be, for example, a frame assembly or a housing assembly for housing the separation device.

[0029] The term "lifting slider" refers to a device for transporting and positioning receiving areas or workpiece carriers. The lifting slider may have a disc receiver adapted to receive and / or secure the workpiece carrier. The lifting slider can be constructed such that it is suitable for receiving different workpiece carriers. The disc receiver of the lifting slider may, for example, be designed for orienting and securing the workpiece. The lifting slider may be guided and held on a guiding device. The guiding device may be specifically designed to move the disc receiver horizontally. The guiding device may have a base plate and multiple guide rails. A workpiece carrier may have one or more receiving areas. The term "receiving area" may refer to one or more receiving areas.

[0030] The vertical distance between the tray receiver and the receiving device can be adjusted by a lifting device. The lifting device can be configured as an adjustment mechanism that operates mechanically, fluidly, electromechanically, or electromagnetically. The lifting device may include a lifting base plate and a wedge-shaped slider arranged on the lifting base plate.

[0031] The vertical lifting of the tray receiver corresponds to lifting in a vertical direction perpendicular to the substrate and / or in a direction perpendicular to the receiving device. The horizontal movement of the tray receiver corresponds to movement in a direction that is parallel to the extension plane of the lifting substrate and / or in a plane parallel to the receiving device.

[0032] In one embodiment, the conveying device further includes a receiving device for accommodating the separating device. The receiving device may be, for example, a frame or a support plate with openings or clearances for the separating device. The receiving device may be designed to support the separating device. The receiving device and the separating device may be force-locked and / or form-locked and / or material-locked connected to each other. The receiving device may also be constructed such that it can accommodate different separating devices. Thus, the loading system can also operate with different separating devices, such as modularly replaceable separating devices.

[0033] A conveying device according to the invention for conveying a workpiece carrier having at least one receiving area for accommodating separately positioned workpieces includes a lifting slider for positioning the at least one receiving area, wherein the lifting slider includes a disc receiving member for accommodating the workpiece carrier and a lifting device designed to vertically lift the disc receiving member. The conveying device further includes a guiding device designed to move the disc receiving member horizontally.

[0034] There is an embodiment in which the conveying device includes a workpiece carrier having at least one receiving area and a receiving device for receiving a separation device having a workpiece guide, wherein the lifting device is designed to adjust the vertical distance between the disc receiver and the receiving device, and the guiding device is designed to move the disc receiver in a plane parallel to the receiving device.

[0035] There are embodiments in which the workpiece carrier is configured to be removable and / or movable. The workpiece carrier can be moved, for example, by means of the lifting and / or sliding movement of a lifting slider. The workpiece carrier can also be removed, for example, from a tray receiver of the lifting slider. The workpiece carrier may further, for example, have movable elements. Furthermore, the workpiece carrier can also be fixedly positioned on the tray receiver.

[0036] There are embodiments in which the at least one receiving area has a holding device for fixing the workpiece. The workpiece carrier may have one or more receiving areas. One receiving area may have one or more holding devices. The holding device may, for example, be a magnet. The holding device may also have, for example, mechanical and / or hydraulic and / or electromechanical holding elements for fixing the workpiece.

[0037] One embodiment includes a lifting device comprising a lifting base plate and a wedge-shaped slider movably supported on the lifting base plate, the wedge-shaped slider being designed to lift a tray container from the lifting base plate in the raised position of the lifting slider. The tray container may be arranged on the lifting base plate. Preferably, the tray container is located on the lifting base plate. The wedge-shaped slider is designed to move the tray container in the vertical direction.

[0038] One embodiment includes a guiding device comprising a base plate and at least one guide rail disposed on the base plate and designed to guide the lifting slider. Multiple guide rails can be disposed on the base plate. The guide rails enable particularly precise positioning of the lifting slider.

[0039] One embodiment exists in which the guiding device has a support member that carries and accommodates the receiving device. The receiving device can be arranged spaced apart from the substrate by means of a structural element that carries the load. The support member can, for example, extend vertically from the substrate in a vertical direction.

[0040] One embodiment includes a lifting base plate having a first profile guide that is fitted onto at least one guide rail of the base plate. The lifting base plate can be movably and / or movablely arranged on the guide rail via the first profile guide. The lifting slider can be precisely positioned and held on the guide rail via the profile guide.

[0041] One embodiment includes a wedge-shaped slider having a second profile guide that is fitted onto the track of a lifting base plate. The wedge-shaped slider can be movably supported on the lifting base plate via the second profile guide.

[0042] One embodiment includes a guide device having a stop element with a locking element, and a disc receiver having an adjustment element designed for force-locking and / or form-locking connection with the locking element. The adjustment element may be, for example, an adjustment pin and / or an adjustment latch extending vertically from the disc receiver. The adjustment element, locking element, and stop element allow for precise adjustment of the disc receiver below the separating device.

[0043] One embodiment includes a lifting base plate with a vertically extending guide pin, and a tray receiver with an opening within which the guide pin is disposed. The guide pin may extend, for example, in a vertical direction. When the tray receiver is raised or lowered, the guide pin holds and guides the tray receiver.

[0044] One embodiment exists in which, in the raised position of the lifting device, the receiving area is separated from the protrusion of the receiving device by a vertical positioning distance, wherein the positioning distance corresponds to 15% to 85% of the workpiece height. In the raised position, the disc receiving member is lifted so that it is not placed on the lifting base plate. The raised position also corresponds, for example, to the inserted position, or inserted state, of the wedge slider. Conversely, the disc receiving member can be placed on the lifting base plate, for example, in the lowered position, or arranged at a distance smaller than that in the raised position. Furthermore, in the lowered position, an air gap can also be formed between the lifting base plate and the disc receiving member, wherein the air gap has a width between 2 mm and 8 mm, preferably between 4 mm and 6 mm, and most preferably 5 mm. The lowered position corresponds to the removed position, or removed state, of the wedge slider. The vertical positioning distance, or vertical spacing, can, for example, correspond to the vertical distance between the receiving area and the surface of the receiving device. With a vertical positioning spacing between 15% and 85% of the workpiece height, the workpiece is guided and held particularly reliably in and over the receiving area during its positioning.

[0063] Figure 1 A schematic perspective view of a loading system 10 having a separation device 100 and a conveying device 101 is shown.

[0064] exist Figures 1 to 9B In the diagram, the loading system 10 carries a workpiece carrier 300, or workpiece receiving portion, having a ring-shaped or crown-shaped structure. The ring-shaped workpiece carrier 300 has a plurality of pin-shaped retainers 301, or workpiece retainers, so-called pins. Here, each retainer 301 has a receiving area 310. The receiving area 310 is adapted to receive and / or retain the workpiece 1. The retainers 301, each having end sections arranged on a disc-shaped base plate 302 of the workpiece carrier 300, are oriented coaxially with each other. Through the retainers 301, the receiving areas 310 are arranged with the same radius in the circumferential direction or spaced apart from each other in the radial direction. The workpiece 1 is spherical or spherical in shape. The receiving area 310 may include a holding device (not shown). The holding device may be, for example, a magnet. The workpiece carrier 300 may also be described as a workpiece receiving portion or a workpiece retainer.

[0065] The workpiece carrier 300 is arranged on the lifting slider 200. The lifting slider 200 has a disc receiving member 220 or a disc plate, a wedge-shaped slider 190, and a lifting base plate 210. The wedge-shaped slider 190 and the lifting base plate 210 together form a lifting device indicated by 190 and 210. The lifting slider 200 has a basic square shape. The disc receiving member 220 of the lifting slider 200 carries the workpiece carrier 300. The disc receiving member 220 is placed on the lifting devices 190 and 210. Therefore, the lifting devices 190 and 210 are arranged below the disc receiving member 220. The wedge-shaped slider 190 of the lifting devices 190 and 210 is forked. The wedge-shaped slider 190 is arranged between the disc receiving member 220 and the lifting base plate 210. The sidewall of the disc receiving member 220 is aligned with the sidewall of the lifting base plate 210. The sidewalls of the disk receiver 220 and the lifting base plate 210 together form two lateral openings 201, through which a corresponding tooth 192 of the wedge slider 190 is guided. The lateral openings 201 are located outside the center of the sidewalls, such that they can be referred to as transverse lateral openings. The two tooth 192 extend from the shovel-shaped shoulder (Kellenansatz) 191 of the wedge slider 190 between the disk receiver 220 and the lifting base plate 210.

[0066] A stop plate 193 extends vertically over the two toothed shanks 192. The stop plate 193 is force-locked and / or form-locked and / or material-locked connected to the toothed shanks 192. The stop plate 193 has two adjusting bolts 194 arranged parallel to the toothed shanks 192.

[0067] A grip 195 extends vertically through an opening (not shown) in the shovel-shaped shoulder 191 of the wedge-shaped slider 190. The grip 195 is connected to the shovel-shaped shoulder 191 by means of a threaded plug. The threaded plug is arranged within a groove opening 209 of the handle 208 of the lifting base plate 220. The handle 208 of the lifting base plate 210 extends vertically from one side of the lifting base plate 210 in a horizontal direction. The shovel-shaped shoulder 191 of the wedge-shaped slider 190 is movably supported on the handle 208. A pin 211 is arranged vertically on the end section of the handle 208. Therefore, the pin 211 is arranged parallel to the grip 195 of the wedge-shaped slider 190.

[0068] The substrate 180 or the lifting substrate has a basic square shape. The longitudinal direction X of the substrate 180 is defined by its long side. The shorter side of the substrate 180 defines the width direction Y. The longitudinal direction X and the width direction Y define the extending plane of the substrate 180.

[0069] A stop plate 185 is arranged along the width direction on the end section of the base plate 180. The handle 208 of the lifting base plate 210 is placed on the stop plate 185 in the shown state.

[0070] The lifting base plate 210 is supported on two parallel guide rails 181 of the base plate 180. The guide rails 181 and the base plate 180 form guide devices 180, 181. The guide devices 180, 181 are designed to realize the horizontal movement of the lifting slider 200. As a result, the disk receiver 220 can move horizontally in the longitudinal direction X.

[0071] The substrate 180 can be divided into a first region and a second region. In the first region, a plurality of spaced-apart supports 170 extend vertically perpendicular to the substrate 180. The second region of the substrate 180 does not have supports. The supports 170 are arranged around the guide rail 181 in the first region. The supports 170 hold or support a receiving device 150. The receiving device 150 has a basic square shape. The supports 170 hold the receiving device 150 in a plane parallel to the extending plane of the substrate 180 and spaced apart from the substrate 180. The receiving device 150 holds or supports a separating device 100.

[0072] Figure 2A A schematic exploded view of the separating device 100 together with the receiving device 150 of the conveying device 101 is shown. Figure 2B A schematic perspective view of the separation device 100 is shown, as if the separation device is arranged on the receiving device 150 of the conveying device 101.

[0073] The separation device 100 for conveying and separating workpieces has a first separation disc 130 having a plurality of first separation chambers 131. Each first separation chamber 131 corresponds to a circular through opening. The separation disc 130 has a basic annular shape. The separation chambers 131 are arranged in a radially circumferential manner around the edge region of the first separation disc 130. Two handles 132 are arranged on two opposite outer edges of the first separation disc 130. Each of the handles 132 has a groove opening 133.

[0074] The conveyor tray 140 has a basic annular shape. A first separating tray 130 is rotatably or movablely supported on the conveyor tray 140. Therefore, the first separating tray 130 can be moved in the circumferential direction. The outer edges of the first separating tray 130 and the outer edges of the conveyor tray 140 are segmentally aligned with each other. The conveyor tray 140 has a plurality of workpiece guides 141. Each workpiece guide 141 corresponds to a circular through-opening, wherein the workpiece guide 141 has a guide chamfer (not shown) in the access area. The conveyor tray 140 is arranged on a rotating shaft 112. The conveyor tray 140 is arranged on the receiving device 150 by force-locking and / or form-locking connections. For this purpose, the conveyor tray 140 has two spaced-apart fixing portions 145 extending vertically from one side of the conveyor tray 140. The fixing portions 145 are designed to be received by corresponding recesses 153 of the receiving device 150. In addition, the conveyor tray 140 has a plurality of fixed connectors 143 arranged coaxially around the rotation axis 112, wherein the fixed connectors 143 extend vertically perpendicular to the surface of the conveyor tray 140. The fixed connectors 143 are designed for force-locking and / or form-locking connections with the fixing elements 123 of the second separation tray 120.

[0075] The second separating disc 120 is arranged above the first separating disc 130 and has a plurality of second separating chambers 121. The second separating disc 120 has a basic annular shape. The second separating disc 120 is force-locked and / or form-locked connected to the fixing pipe 143 of the conveyor disc 140 by means of a plurality of holes 122 and a plurality of fixing elements 123. A perforated disc 124 is arranged below each fixing element 123. The second separating chambers 121 correspond to circular through openings. The number of the first separating chambers 131, the second separating chambers 121, and the workpiece guides 141 are the same. The separating chambers 121, 131, and the workpiece guides 141 are arranged annularly and / or coaxially around the rotation axis 112.

[0076] The receiving device 150 has a basic square shape and a disc-shaped recess. Clamping ribs 152 are arranged in the edge region of the receiving device 150, extending vertically from the surface of the receiving device 150. The clamping ribs 152 are force-locked and / or form-locked to the receiving device 150 by means of a plurality of fixing elements 151 and a plurality of bolts 159. The receiving device 150 has a recess 154 located below the clamping ribs 152. The recess 154 is designed to receive clamping lugs 144 of the conveyor tray 140, which are fixed by the clamping ribs 152.
