In a method of the energy-saving dynamic transporting of object with a flow of a carrying medium, action are applied to the carrying medium which are created in an action element during a process of conversion of an energy supplied to it, so that the flow of a carrying medium created thereby acts on the object for performing a process of its transporting in a given direction, and a modulation of a value of the action is performed in the action element sq. that the, flow of the carrying medium which is dynamically created moves with a given dynamic periodically changing sign-alternating acceleration during the process of transporting of the object. |

The invention relates to a system with stationary and mobile functional devices. In one embodiment the system comprises a buffer store for the intermediate storage of load carriers having a plurality of parking places for the load carriers. The parking places are formed, for example, as chain conveyers and arranged beside one another in one or more rows. The parking places can be served by a distribution carriage moved along a row of conveyors. The distribution carriage has a transfer device, adapted to transfer a load carrier to a parking place or picked up from the latter. The stationary conveyors each have their own electric drive, it being possible for the electrical power for driving a conveyor to be fed in under individual control by the distribution carriage in each case, when the latter has reached a transfer position to the respective stationary conveyor. For this purpose, corresponding bus bars can be provided in the region of the parking places and feed contacts corresponding thereto with the effect of sliding contacts can be provided on the distribution carriage. However, non-contact transmission of electrical drive power and control signals between the distribution carriage and the stationary conveyors is also possible. |

In a belt conveyor, when an input lever is rotated in a fixed direction, an input shaft is rotated and a fourth gear fixed on the input shaft is rotated integrally in the same direction. Then, second and third gears are rotated in fixed directions and a first gear and a drive shaft are rotated in fixed directions. Thereby, a spiral spring connected to the drive shaft is wound up stronger little by little so as to store an elastic energy. If a rotating angle in the given direction comes to about 150 degrees, an end of a toothless portion of the fourth gear arrives a meshing part with the third gear so as to disengage from the third gear. Thus, a rotary shaft and the drive shaft are respectively rotated in reverse directions to the give directions by the releasing energy of the spiral spring. Consequently, the drive roller is rotated in a counterclockwise direction so as to drive a conveyor belt in a given direction. |

An inductive energy transfer system supplies energy from a stationary primary rail to a number of movable secondary rails each connected to a movable unit. The system is particularly suited for conveyor units of a sorter system, each unit having an article support, the energy provided from the energy transfer system being used primarily for discharging articles from the article-support. The primary rail as well as the secondary rails are provided with legs so that the legs in an operational position are overlapping so as to reduce the losses caused by the air gap between the primary rail and the secondary rails. The movable units are each equipped with an electrical battery for smoothing the load from the movable unit on the primary side of the transfer system. |

A combined material conveyor and electrical generation system is disclosed. The invention may be used to provide electrical energy to a remote location through which the material conveyor passes and/or harness energy which would normally be dissipated in braking a material conveyor. One or more electrical generators is driven by the motion of a belt in a material conveyor. Electrical power generated by the generator is delivered to an external power output. The invention can capture the potential energy of particulate matter which is transported on a material conveyor, particularly through a net elevation drop. Electricity produced may be used immediately or stored in a battery system for future use. |

A drive assembly with a toothed member carried on a shaft and adapted to drive the chains of a scraper chain conveyor. The shaft is mounted for rotation between side walls of a frame and the shaft is composed of portions which progressively decrease in diameter from one side wall to the other. The shaft has a portion adjacent the one side wall which has its exterior forming a drum surface. A further drum component is located on the shaft adjacent the other side wall with the toothed member disposed between the drum surfaces. A detachable blind bearing unit is located in an aperture in the other side wall for receiving the shaft. The drum component and the toothed member are splined onto the shaft so as to be withdrawable from the other side wall after removal of the bearing unit. The one side wall is apertured to permit the output shaft of drive means to be coupled to the shaft of the assembly.

A spreader conveyor is shown connected to a meat patty machine for receiving patties individually and distributing them across the width of a discharge conveyor such as a freezer conveyor, with the spreader conveyor being operated by a variable speed drive from a patty machine shaft. The spreader conveyor has a rigid frame with an endless wire conveyor belt trained around the ends of the frame. The entire frame and conveyor are reciprocated in a manner which does not require take up of an extra loop in the flexible conveyor belt. This is accomplished by advancing both conveyor reaches in the frame by upper and lower sprockets moving in the same direction whereas the conveyor frame is rapidly retracted to deposit patties onto the discharge belt by reversing the lower sprocket and driving it at a higher speed than the upper sprocket, which runs continuously in the advance direction. Thus the upper reach of the conveyor continues to be driven in its original direction whereas the conveyor frame and the delivery end of the belt are retracted, thereby dropping a row of patties onto the discharge belt.

A linear motor conveyor has an endless guide support in which stators of linear motors are housed. Conveyor segments are pivotally linked together in an endless loop for articulating movement, either horizontally or vertically, or both, along the endless path defined by the guide support. The conveyor segments, which have an armature portion extending through slots in the guide support, are retained in the guide support in every orientation of the conveyor by laterally extending portions including a load bearing portion. The conveyor is propelled along the guide track by virtue of the electromagnetically coupling of the linear motor stators with the armature portions of the conveyor segment loop.

This invention relates to electrical armatures and according to the invention an armature, constituting a transport or conveying member adapted to be driven by the inductors of linear motors, is in the form of a squirrel cage made up of two flexible longitudinal members interconnected by transverse members. These transverse members are spaced apart by a distance of up to but not exceeding half the motor pole pitch and support members extend over the entire length of the armature and are less extensible than it. Finally, the armature and the support members are embedded in a flexible material such as natural or synthetic rubber or a synthetic plastics substitute therefor.

The comparison of fluid flows or electrical signals is utilized to decelerate a system (e.g., a conveyor) by regulating the fluid pressure in a brake assembly. A time decay reference signal which is related to the speed of a control motor, conveyor or other reference source is compared with a similar signal related to the speed of a controlled conveyor. The comparison of these two signals is employed to control the application of the brake in the controlled conveyor system so that the controlled conveyor will decelerate in a predetermined manner. Once the controlled conveyor is stopped, any rearward or forward movement of the controlled conveyor generates a signal which actuates the brake to again decelerate the controlled conveyor. The drive assembly of the controlled conveyor has a flywheel to insure that the minimum stopping time of the controlled conveyor from its normal operating speed exceeds a predetermined time.
