CONVEYING DEVICE FOR CONVEYING PRODUCTS

摘要

The conveying device for conveying products comprises a plurality of slides individually movable with respect to each other to hold the products and a guide rail, on which the slides are guided. A linear motor drive unit serves to drive the slides, wherein each of the slides comprises permanent magnets, which interact with the coils of the linear motor drive unit. Each slide comprises a horseshoe-shaped or U-shaped base carrier with two legs, which enclose the guide rail from opposite sides. The base carrier is divided into at least two interconnected subsections, each of which comprises a leg. The subsections are movable relative to each other, as a result of which the gap width between the legs can be adjusted.

1. A conveying device for conveying products, comprising:
at least one individually movable slide for holding at least one product; a guide rail, on which the at least one slide is guided; a linear motor drive unit for driving the at least one slide; wherein the at least one slide comprises a substantially horseshoe-shaped or U-shaped base carrier having two legs, which enclose the guide rail on two opposite sides, wherein rollers project inward from the legs; wherein the at least one slide comprises at least two permanent magnets, which are arranged at the sides of the linear motor drive unit, and which interact with coils of the linear motor drive unit; wherein an attractive force between the permanent magnets and the linear motor drive unit pretensions the rollers of the at least one slide against the guide rail; wherein the base carrier is divided into at least two interconnected subsections, each of which comprises a leg; and wherein the at least two subsections are movable relative to each other, wherein the subsections are movable between a closed working position, in which the base carrier encloses the guide rail, and an open maintenance position, in which the base carrier can be removed from the guide rail.
