Abstract
Provided is a vibratory support device for an installation for conveying products, the device having a fixed chassis and guides mounted on the chassis that are parallel to one another and oriented in a longitudinal direction. The guides are configured as sliding supports for an endless-type belt of a conveying installation and are mounted movably with respect to the chassis with a vibratory movement in a horizontal or substantially horizontal plane. Also provided is an installation for conveying products that is equipped with a vibratory support device for supporting a portion of the length of its conveyor belt.
Claims14
A vibratory support device for an installation for conveying products, comprising:
- a fixed chassis;
- guides mounted on the chassis that are parallel to one another and oriented in a longitudinal direction, the guides being configured as sliding supports of an endless-type belt of a conveying installation,
- the guides being mounted to be movable with respect to the chassis by a vibratory movement in a horizontal or essentially horizontal plane;
- a movable frame for supporting attachment of the guides thereto, the movable frame linked to the chassis by engagement of at least one articulation therebetween;
- and
- at least one actuator for providing vibratory movement to the movable frame.
An installation for conveying products in a longitudinal direction, comprising:
- a support structure;
- slides that are fixedly mounted on the support structure parallel to one another and oriented in the longitudinal direction;
- the slides being separated transversely by a gap;
- at least one endless-type conveying belt, the belt being supported by the surface of the slides along at least a portion (3) of the length of the conveying installation;
- and
- a motorization of the conveying belt in the longitudinal direction from upstream to downstream comprising along another contiguous portion, a vibratory device wherein the vibratory device comprises:
- a fixed chassis mounted on the support structure;
- guides mounted on a frame that are parallel to one another and oriented in the longitudinal direction, the guides extending in continuity with the slides, acting as supports for the conveying belt;
- and
- the guides (41) being mounted to be movable with respect to the chassis, via the frame that is provided to be movable with respect to the chassis by a vibratory movement in a horizontal or essentially horizontal plane.
