Abstract

See full text

In the store at the inlet of the transport sector (11) is situated the first drive mechanism (21) of the conveyor (8) which is controlled by and connected to a fullness sensor (22) assembled in the input station (16) via a control unit, and at exit of the transport sector (11) is situated a second drive mechanism (23) of the conveyor (8) which is controlled by and connected to a fullness sensor (24) assembled in the output station (17) via a control unit, while the transport sector (11) is defined by two, active and passive, identical support guide mechanisms (10, 15) for the conveyor (8), consist of independent disc modules (6) rotary assembled on the axes (5, 14), moreover the return sector (9) consists of two, active and passive, identical support guide mechanisms (7, 13) of the conveyor (8), that consist also of independent disc modules (6) rotary assembled on the axes (4, 12), while the axis (5) of the active support guide mechanism (10) in the transport sector (11) is fixed to the axis (4) of the active support guide mechanism (7) in the return sector (9) by the carriage (3) moveable assembled on the horizontal guide bar (2), of a frame (1) of the store in the plane perpendicular to the axes (5, 4). Moreover the disc modules (6) are assembled at an angle to the axes (4, 5, 12, 14) of the support guide mechanism (7, 10, 13, 15), and also the planes of the disc modules (6) in every support guide mechanism (7, 10, 13, 15) are parallel each one to other and axes (4, 5, 12, 14) are situated beneficially in the one plane. Moreover the input station (16) and the output station (17) can be situated perpendicular to the conveyor (8) trajectory. The store has a tensioning device (25) for the conveyor (8) and moreover the horizontal guide bars (26) assembled to the frame (1) in the zone of action of the support guide mechanism (7, 10, 13, 15), below the conveyor (8).
