| 121 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING PRODUCE OVER A VERTICAL DISTANCE | US12561432 | 2009-09-17 | US20110066279A1 | 2011-03-17 | Gary Joseph Wysocki |
| The invention provides a device for transporting produce. The device comprises a chute, and a flexible panel that is positioned within tracks of the chute and defines a movable “front” wall of the chute. The flexible panel has a lower section that terminates in a platform section. The flexible panel is operatively connected to a motor or other actuator which allows the flexible panel to be raised and lowered within the tracks of the chute. The platform section of the chute is connected to an actuator which can move the platform from a closed position to an open position. When the platform is in the closed position, the platform defines the bottom of the chute and collects and holds the produce delivered into the chute. When the platform is moved into the open position, the produce is allowed to flow out of the bottom of the chute into the container the chute is positioned in. The device can also comprise a fill sensor indicating when the chute is full. A central processing unit (CPU) and/or control relays are operatively connected to the fill sensors as well as to the motor and the actuator, such that the CPU can determine when to raise and lower the flexible panel and open and close the platform based on the sensor signals to coordinate transporting produce from the top of the chute to the bottom of the chute. | ||||||

| A measuring device is arranged to store a block or group of a plurality of objects in a state where the objects are congested in the block, to suppress the scattering magnification of the objects when the objects are dropped off to prevent failures such as seal bite in a filling device disposed below the measuring device, to shorten the dropping length of the objects, and to reduce the contact resistance of the objects to a receiving opening of the filling device during the objects are dropped off to attain the discharging speed of the objects. The shapes and opening degrees of a gate unit can be changed so that a lower opening of a hopper is disposed inside the receiving opening of the filling device in a top plan view. | ||||||

| 124 | Method for the filling of particulate material in vertical tubes | US11578173 | 2003-09-24 | US07753086B2 | 2010-07-13 | Erik Dessen |
| This invention relates to a method for filling particulate material in vertical tubes (1) where the velocity of fall of the material (4) is reduced by having it glide down a rotating spiral duct (2) or by gliding down a rotating inner tube (5) with openings above the bottom (6) through which the material can fall out. The inner tube (5) is filled with the particulate material (4). After the material has fallen out of the spiral duct (2) or the inner tube (5), it can fall towards the tube's (1) wall during the drop onto the top layer of filled material. | ||||||

| 129 | Conveyor system for minimizing product damage during collection | US11023185 | 2004-12-27 | US07287637B2 | 2007-10-30 | Kyle Campbell; Thomas J. Campbell; Jeffrey Campbell; Kevin Campbell |
| A conveyor system is provided to limit the vertical fall experienced by a product transported along the conveyor and falling into a collection bin. A sensor in a fixed position relative to the product conveying plane of the conveyor measures product collection height in a collection bin to produce an output signal. A controller dynamically varies the angle between the conveyance plane and the collection bin base plane and the vertical displacement therebetween within a preselected range in order to minimize product damage associated with different fall trajectories from the conveyor into the bin for product. Either the conveyor or the collection bin is pivoted under the command of the controller to accomplish the desired function. | ||||||

| 131 | Sorting apparatus | US11394336 | 2006-03-31 | US20060219444A1 | 2006-10-05 | Albertus Ruigrok |
| The invention relates to a combination of an endless feed conveyor, typically a roller conveyor, and an endless sorting conveyor in line with it, viz. a cup sorter. The conveying directions of the successive conveyors are along the top and along the bottom. For the cup sorter, provisions have been made for the cups that project when they pass through the bend in the transfer zone to be kept in the proper product conveying position. Through this configuration, during conveyance and transfer, the products follow a continuous flowing movement by which injuries to the products, for instance fruits, can be prevented to a considerable extent. | ||||||
| 132 | Distributing chute conveyor | US10401442 | 2003-03-26 | US06851911B2 | 2005-02-08 | Willy Lhoest |
| A helical distributing chute conveyor for a receptacle for transferring loose varied fragile chemical and pharmaceutical products, particularly of the granular or pulverulent type. This chute conveyor, placed in a receptacle, comprises helical chute paths developed about a vertical axis; each chute path, whom cross section is straight, is inclined transversely towards the vertical axis, the angle of inclination of the chute path being calculated such that, whatever their size, the particles of material transported deviate towards the vertical axis when the centrifugal force which originally keeps them on the chute path cancels out or drops below a critical value. | ||||||

The method relates to the dropping of, directing of, and absorbing of kinetic energy from an item among the plurality of items as the item contacts portions of the apparatus. | ||||||
| 134 | Method and an arrangement for filing a silo | US09914616 | 2001-11-09 | US06632063B1 | 2003-10-14 | Morten Karlsen; Are Dyrøy |
| A method and an apparatus for filling a silo (1) with a fluidizable material. The arrangement includes conveying devices (5, 9) for supplying material to an upper area of the silo and a central material distributor (10). The material distributor includes a tank (29) which has an inlet (28) and one or more distributor pipes (26, 26′) for distributing material to one or more feed units (11, 11′)which convey the material down towards the surface of the material in the silo. | ||||||
| 135 | Apparatus and method for loading agricultural material | US10014762 | 2001-12-11 | US20020044865A1 | 2002-04-18 | Justin Place |
| There is provided an apparatus and method for reduced impact loading of impact sensitive materials, such as agricultural seed material, into a bin from above. The loading apparatus includes a door selectively movable between a lower position and an upper position. A guide mounts the door at the bin and provides a predetermined path between the lower and upper positions for the door. A drive is used to selectively vary the position of the door along the path in response to accumulation of material loaded from above. The door is first moved to the lower position for initial loading. A material dispenser having a discharge end is extended through an access opening in the bin at the door for initial loading of material therein. As material accumulates in the bin during loading, the discharge end is selectively raised in the access opening to maintain it within a predetermined distance range above such material. The door is also selectively raised to varying positions above the lower position to cover the access opening as material accumulates in the bin. | ||||||

| A method for unloading open containers for uncompacted or loosely compacted tobacco bales, comprising the steps of engaging an open container full of tobacco, closing the container, first tipping the container, partially opening the container onto an underlying loading platform and consequently partially unloading the tobacco. The container is then lifted, consequently fully unloading the tobacco, and then a second tipping and release steps of the empty container follow in order to resume the cycle from the start. | ||||||
| 139 | Counter balance assembly for grain conduit | US323355 | 1999-06-01 | US6085987A | 2000-07-11 | Coy N. Haraway |
