Abstract
A carriage for a rail-guided conveying system, in particular a gravity conveyor, in which a plurality of similar carriages are mounted one behind the other in the rail-longitudinal direction and displaceable in the rail-longitudinal direction, on a running rail extending in the rail-longitudinal direction. A first and a second set of upright rollers are arranged one behind the other for guiding the running rail in the rail-longitudinal direction and which in each case are rotatably mounted on a carriage body transversely to the rail-longitudinal direction about an associated axis and are spaced apart from one another along the associated axis.
Claims13
A carriage (10) for a rail-guided conveying system (100), comprising:
- a plurality of similar carriages (10a-e) mounted one behind the other in a rail-longitudinal direction and displaceable in the rail-longitudinal direction, on a running rail (20) extending in the rail-longitudinal direction, wherein a carriage (10) of the plurality includes a first and a second set of upright rollers (16a, b;
- 17a, b) which are arranged one behind the other for guiding in the running rail (20) in the rail longitudinal direction (SLR) and which in each case are rotatably mounted on a carriage body (11) transversely to the rail-longitudinal direction about an associated axis (A1 and/or A2) and are spaced apart from one another, and coaxially relative to each other, along the associated axis (A1 and/or A2), wherein the internal spacing (D1) of the rollers in the first set of rollers (16a, b) is greater by a predetermined amount than the external spacing (D2) of the rollers in the second set of rollers (17a, b) and the mounting of the first and second sets of rollers (16a, b;
- 17a, b) on the carriage body (11) is configured such that two successive carriages (10a-f) may be pushed into one another in a space-saving manner.
