Abstract
A stop device for a conveyor system where pallets are conveyed on a transport plane, including a body having a stop surface, where the body of the stop device includes a pivot element including an inclined landing zone and a nose, where the brake device includes a damper element arranged between the pivot element and the body of the brake device, where the stop device includes an actuating means adapted to position the stop device in a stop position in which the nose and the stop surface extends above the transport plane, and where the actuating means is adapted to position the stop device in a bypass position in which the nose and the stop surface are positioned below the transport plane.
Claims15
A stop device for a conveyor system where pallets are conveyed on a transport plane, wherein the stop device is adapted to be arranged at the transport plane to either stop a pallet or to bypass a pallet, where the stop device comprises a body having a rotational axis at a first end of the body and a stop surface at a second end of the body, wherein the stop device comprises an actuating means adapted to position the stop device in a stop position in which the stop device is arranged to stop a pallet, or in a bypass position in which the stop device is arranged to bypass a pallet, wherein the stop device comprises a pivot element arranged between the first end and the stop surface of the body, where the pivot element is arranged pivotable in the body at a first end of the pivot element, where the pivot element comprises a nose arranged at a second end of the pivot element, where the pivot element comprises an inclined landing zone arranged between the first end and the nose, where the stop device comprises a damper element arranged between the pivot element and the body of the stop device, wherein the nose and the stop surface are adapted to extend above the transport plane in the stop position, and wherein the nose and the stop surface are adapted to be positioned below the transport plane in the bypass position.
A conveyor system adapted to convey pallets on a transport plane, comprising a conveyor and at least one accumulation chain, wherein the conveyor system comprises at least one stop device for the conveyor system where pallets are conveyed on a transport plane, wherein the stop device is adapted to be arranged at the transport plane to either stop a pallet or to bypass a pallet, where the stop device comprises a body having a rotational axis at a first end of the body and a stop surface at a second end of the body, wherein the stop device comprises an actuating means—adapted to position the stop device in a stop position in which the stop device is arranged to stop a pallet, or in a bypass position in which the stop device is arranged to bypass a pallet, wherein the stop device comprises a pivot element arranged between the first end and the stop surface of the body, where the pivot element is arranged pivotable in the body at a first end of the pivot element, where the pivot element comprises a nose arranged at a second end of the pivot element, where the pivot element comprises an inclined landing zone arranged between the first end and the nose, where the stop device comprises a damper element arranged between the pivot element and the body of the stop device, wherein the nose and the stop surface are adapted to extend above the transport plane in the stop position, and wherein the nose and the stop surface are adapted to be positioned below the transport plane in the bypass position.
