AUTOMATED COLLATING CONVEYOR SYSTEM

摘要

A method of moving and boxing packages, including positioning a conveyor belt assembly having distal and proximal ends to receive a package at the distal end, sending a signal when a first package is placed upon the distal end, generating an air pulse to reorient the first package into a predetermined orientation, moving the first package to a loading area, and removing the first package into a shipping container. Next, the first package is moved far enough to make room for a second package, a second package is placed onto the distal end, a signal is sent when the second package is placed upon the distal end, and an air pulse is generated to reorient the second package into a predetermined orientation.

主权项

1. A conveyor assembly, comprising in combination:
a wheeled base portion, at least one extendible support member connected to the wheeled base portion; an elongated belt housing portion connected to the at least one extendible support member, wherein the elongated belt portion defines a proximal end and a distal end; a single endless belt loop operationally connected to the elongated belt housing portion; a drive motor operationally connected to the endless belt; a microprocessor operationally connected to the drive motor; an air jet disposed at the distal end and operationally connected to the microprocessor; a sensor positioned at the distal end and operationally connected to the microprocessor; and a control interface operationally connected to the microprocessor.
