Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows objects like boxes on a shelf to be distributed evenly throughout multiple layers within a store's warehouse space by placing them onto specialized carriers called Lanes (a type of rail system). These carrier systems have drive chains with roller wheels along their edges) and can move alongside each object being carried separately. There may also include devices used to control this motion, including moving partitions between different levels inside the stores.

Problems solved by technology

This patents describes different types of devices called distributors that help distribute randomly shaped objects like pills onto containers during production processes. However, there may still occur some blocks where certain parts cannot fit together properly due to interference caused by gravity.

Embodiment Construction

[0047] As shown in FIGS. 1-4, the invention is directed to an apparatus for the distribution of a random stream of items into several lanes which are adapted to transport the items individually one after the other.

[0048] In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises: a transport device 20 which has at least one driven conveyor belt 22 and side rails including a pair of side rails displaced from one another and bordering the conveyor belt 22, the transport device 20 transporting a stream of items in a direction of transport; a lane divider 30 having at least one movable divider 34 adapted to divide the stream of transported items; and a device for driving the lane divider 30 such that the movable dividers 34 moves back and forth simultaneously in the direction of transport and transversely to it.

[0049] In an embodiment, the at least one movable divider 34 is one of several movable dividers which includes a middle divider projecting against the direction of transport and side dividers set

Abstract

The apparatus serves to distribute a random stream of items into several lanes in which the items are transported individually one after the other. The apparatus has a transport device for the items, wherein the transport device has one or more driven conveyor belts and side rails as well as a lane divider. The lane divider has at least one movable divider which divides the stream of transported items. A middle divider can project against the direction of transport and side dividers can be set back staggered. In an embodiment, the lane divider has a frame to which the dividers are attached. The apparatus also has a device for driving the lane divider, so that the at least one divider carries out a back-and-forth movement in the direction of transport and/or transversely to it.
