Transport system having a lock device

摘要

The invention relates to a transport system comprising a circumferentially closed transport section (2) that has a plurality of section parts, wherein the section parts comprise linear section parts (3) and curved section parts (4), wherein at least one of the curved section parts (4) has a U-shaped curve section (40) that defines a 180° deflection, at least one runner (7) that can be moved along the transport section (2) in order to transport objects, and a lock device (5) that is arranged between the U-shaped curve section (40) and adjacent section parts.

1. A transport system comprising:
a circumferentially closed transport section (2) that has a plurality of section parts, wherein the section parts comprise linear section parts (3) and a curved section part (4), wherein the curved section part (4) has a U-shaped curve section (40) that defines a 180° deflection, at least one runner (7) that can be moved along the transport section (2) in order to transport objects, and a lock device (5) that is arranged between the U-shaped curve section (40) and adjacent section parts, the lock device (5) including at least one first rod-shaped guide element (5A) and one second rod-shaped guide element (5B); characterized in that the lock device (5) comprises at least one eccentric element (51, 52), in order to change a relative position between the curved section part (4) and adjacent section parts; characterized in that a first eccentric element (51) is disposed at the first rod-shaped guide element (5A) and a second eccentric element (52) at the second rod-shaped guide element (5B); and characterized in that the first rod-shaped guide element (5A) and a third rod-shaped guide element (5C) are disposed at a first free end (41) of the curved section part (4), wherein an eccentric element (51, 53) is disposed at each of the first and third rod-shaped guide elements (5A, 5C), the eccentric elements (51, 53) being disposed in directions (Y, Z) perpendicular to one another.
