Abstract
A separating device for the separation of at least one load carrier from a further load carrier. The separating device comprises a driver element for arranging on a traction mechanism of a transport system, the driver element having a fastening section for fastening the driver element to the traction mechanism and a driving section for driving at least one load carrier. The driver element can be transferred at least in sections from a driving position into a release position. Furthermore, the invention relates to a traction mechanism with the separating device, to a transport system, and to a method for separating and driving at least one load carrier.
Claims12
A traction mechanism with a plurality of traction mechanism elements comprising a conveyor chain, the traction mechanism further comprising:
- at least one separating device comprising at least one driver element for arranging on the traction mechanism of a transport system,
- the at least one driver element having a fastening section for fastening the at least one driver element to the traction mechanism and a driving section for driving at least one load carrier, wherein the at least one driver element can be transferred at least in sections from a driving position into a release position, the at least one driver element being arranged in a through opening on the traction mechanism elements, and
- at least one driver element being transferable from the driving position into the release position along a longitudinal axis of the at least one driver element.
A transport system for the transport of load carriers, comprising an inclined conveying system, with a transport course profile for receiving and guiding a plurality of load carriers comprising at least one traction mechanism, comprising:
- at least one separating device comprising at least one driver element for arranging on the traction mechanism of the transport system,
- the at least one driver element having a fastening section for fastening the at least one driver element to the traction mechanism and a driving section for driving at least one load carrier,
- wherein the at least one driver element can be transferred at least in sections from a driving position into a release position, the at least one driver element being arranged in a through opening on the traction mechanism elements, and
- the at least one driver element to be transferred from the driving position into the release position along a longitudinal axis of the at least one driver element.
