Device For Separating Plate-Shaped Objects, Particularly Battery Plates

摘要

A device for separating battery plates from stacks comprises a lifting device ( 30 ) with which vertical stacks ( 14 ) are gradually lifted to a plate placer ( 51 ). The plate placer ( 51 ) lifts the uppermost plate from the stack ( 14 ) and places it onto a conveyor belt ( 60 ), whose loading end is located underneath the plate placer ( 51 ) and which comprises conveying elements ( 61 ) that are moved underneath the plate placer ( 51 ) after a plate has been lifted from the stack ( 14 ). The delivery end of the conveyor belt ( 60 ) is situated underneath the loading end of a vacuum conveyor belt ( 70 ). The vacuum conveyor belt ( 70 ) receives separated plates from the conveyor belt ( 60 ) and moves them to devices located downstream.
