摘要:
A pass-through conveyance system and method includes a main assembly comprising at least a platform that is translatable along a radius and movable between two separate environments, an opening between the two separate environments and at least one opening sealing member. The platform is adapted to receive an object; e.g, article, container or package, loaded thereon from a first environment by manual or mechanical ways and translate the object through an opening to a second environment.

A modular handling system and method for transporting cases is disclosed. The system includes at least one mobile base including a base frame with a base diverter thereon and at least one collapsible wing. The base frame is supported by wheeled legs. The collapsible wing includes a wing frame. The wing frame is operatively connectable to the mobile base, and is supported by collapsible legs. The wing frame and the collapsible legs are movable between an operational position and a collapsed position whereby a configurable path is movably positionable about a work space. A sorting system including at least one sorter mounted to the mobile base(s) may also be provided. Each sorter is operatively connectable to the mobile bases to identify and route the cases. The sorters are interactively coupled for communication therebetween whereby the cases are selectively movable about the configurable path.

A material handling system incorporates one or more arcuate conveying surfaces defined by rollers with a large conveyor radius. The rollers may be tapered rollers, and may be live rollers.

An approach is provided to move an object across a surface using a grid of vertically-adjustable low friction transfer modules. A first set of transfer modules is selected from the grid, with the first set of modules being underneath the object. Back-side and front-side sets of modules are identified from the selected first set of modules, with the back-side sets being toward the back of the object opposite to the horizontal direction and the front-side sets being toward the front side of the object that faces the horizontal direction. The back-side and front-side sets are vertically adjusted so that the average of the back-side sets of vertical heights is higher than the average of the front-side sets of vertical heights. The vertical adjustment of the transfer modules causes the object to move across the tops of the transfer modules in the horizontal direction.

A package stream indexer device for indexing a stream of packages being displaced thereon within a stream plane includes a first articulated track with live rollers and a second articulated track with depending pressure wheels for maintaining packages in contact with the first track and within the package path defined there between within the stream plane. The first and second articulated tracks are each composed of a plurality of interconnected links frictionally engaged together to allow adjustment in track orientation from one set position to another by means of dynamic movement on the track.

A roller conveyor installation (1) includes a curved roller conveyor (2) for conveying piece goods, optionally from a first conveying strip to a second conveying strip oriented in a different direction. The first and second conveying strips are roller conveyors (3, 4) with driven rollers (9) that extend at an angle to the conveying strip. The curved roller conveyor (2) includes, at an angle to the conveying strip, radially extending, spaced-apart individual rollers (5) that are driven by a common revolving driving belt. A revolving driving belt is configured as a V-belt (6) which is guided in coaxial drive rollers (13) or coaxial peripheral sections of the individual rollers (5) both at the upper end in the V-belt upper strand (6a) and at the bottom end in the V-belt lower strand (6b) in the same V-belt guide. The V-belt (6) is held in the V-belt guide from above in the V-belt upper strand (6a) and from below in the V-belt lower strand (6b) by floating upper or lower press rollers (14). The press rollers (14) lie between the individual rollers (5) and are rotationally fastened on a preferably radial outer curve frame part (15) of the curved roller conveyor (2).

A curve unit for live roller line shaft conveyor systems is described. In a preferred embodiment, the curve unit includes a curve segment with driven rollers powered by a drive disc and a pair of straight segments with driven rollers powered by a pair of drive shafts through the use of elastomeric belts. The unit may be incorporated in a live roller, line shaft conveyor system with all of the driven rollers powered by a single drive motor. Alternatively, the curve unit may be driven by a dedicated drive motor. An annular lip is provided on the disc drive to frictionally engage the bottom surfaces of the conveyor rollers in the curve segment so that rotation of the drive disc about its vertical axis also drives the rollers in the curve segment. The described arrangement of parts provides for synchronous rotation of driven rollers in both the curved segment and the adjoining segments of the curve unit as well as the driven rollers in the conveyor system.

Branching device and guide means for a high speed tray conveyor where each tray has in its bottom an hourglass-shaped central guide groove and the conveyor includes in its bend sections and branching sections groups or horizontal guide rollers engaging the tray grooves. In the branching section these guide roller groups are arranged to be raised and lowered by solenoids in staggered timing to permit a rapid succession of trays travelling through the branching section while the latter switches in and out.
