Abstract
Vibrating apparatus (10) for automatically conveying objects (11) from a first position (12) to a second position (13) by means of vibration, comprising one or more conveying members (15) and a movement member (18), which is configured to be driven according to a vibrational motion in order to make said one or more conveying members (15) vibrate to cause a consequent forward motion by vibration of the objects (11).
Claims13
Vibrating apparatus for conveying objects from a first position to a second position by means of vibration, comprising a conveying member configured to make the objects advance along a feed path and a movement member associated with said conveying member, said movement member being configured to be driven according to a vibrational motion in order to make said conveying member vibrate, in such a way that said objects are made to advance along said feed path by vibration, characterized in that said movement member comprises a mobile body magnetically coupled to a base body, said mobile body being configured to be driven according to said vibrational motion, moving on the base body without contact, so that the objects move from the first position to the second position by vibration while said conveying member is made to vibrate by the mobile body.
Method to convey objects from a first position to a second position, by means of vibration, comprising the steps of:
- preparing a movement member and a conveying member associated with it;
- driving the movement member according to a vibrational motion to make said conveying member vibrate, in such a way that said objects are made to advance along a feed path by vibration, characterized in that
- said movement member comprises a mobile body magnetically coupled to a base body, said method also comprising the step of moving, according to said vibrational motion, the mobile body on the base body without contact in order to generate said vibrational movement, so that the objects move from the first position to the second position by vibration while said conveying member is made to vibrate by the mobile body.
