Transport device with controllable conveying element

摘要

The present invention is a transport device for conveying a product, comprising a movable conveying element for conveying the product, a stationary running rail that defines a running path for the conveying element, a first linear motor drive device, a second linear motor drive device, a control device that actuates the two linear motor drive devices, and a sensor device that detects an orientation of the conveying element relative to the running rail and transmits it to the control device.

主权项

1. A transport device for conveying a product, said transport device including
a movable conveying element (2) for conveying the product, a stationary running rail (3) which defines a running path for the conveying element (2), a first linear motor driving device (4), a second linear motor driving device (6), a control device (9) which actuates the first and second linear motor driving devices (4, 6) and a sensor device which detects an alignment of the conveying element (2) relative to the running rail (3) and transmits the alignment to the control device (9), wherein the first and second linear motor driving devices (4, 6) are arranged eccentrically on the conveying element (2) and the running rail (3), wherein the first and second linear motor driving devices (4, 6) are configured to drive the conveying element (2) and to exert a torque on the conveying element (2) and wherein the control device is configured to carry out an alignment of the conveying element (2) as a result of applying a torque about a vertical axis (H) of the conveying element (2).
