AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing conveyor devices lack the capability to precisely maintain the orientation and position of unit loads during conveyance, especially in industrial settings where high precision and reproducibility are crucial, and they often require complex adjustments for accurate motion guidance.

Method used

The device incorporates specialized guide means for deflecting and translational movement guidance, with the first guide device handling deflection around deflection axes and the second guide device managing linear movement between axes, allowing for precise control and reduced component count.

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances precision and reduces complexity in motion control, enabling more accurate and efficient conveyance of unit loads while allowing for modular adaptation to various requirements and easier maintenance.

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (2) for conveying unit loads, comprising a base body (4) and a conveyor chain arranged thereon for conveying the unit loads along a conveying path, a drive device (18) for generating a conveying movement of the conveyor chain (6), a first guide device (20) which deflects the conveying movement of the conveyor chain (6) about at least two deflection axes (22, 24) spaced apart parallel to each other, and a second guide device (26) for translational movement guidance of the conveyor chain (6) along at least one conveying path section (28, 30) extending between the deflection axes (22, 24).Furthermore, the first guide device (20) is designed and configured for the redirecting movement of the support member (10) around the deflection axis (22, 24) in such a way that the guide means (38) of the second guide device (20) arranged on the respective support member (10) determine the movement of the conveyor chain (6) in the conveyor path section (28, 30) when passing through the conveyor path section (28, 30).
