Device and Method For Conveying A Spring String

摘要

A device for conveying a spring string (31) has a first spring conveyor (3) and a second spring conveyor (4). By means of a sensor device, in operation, lengths of a plurality of segments of the spring string differing from one another are detected, while the spring string (31) is guided past a sensor (5) of the sensor device arranged in the conveying direction upstream of the second spring conveyor (4). A control device (9) is provided which sets, in an operating state of the device (1) in which both the first spring conveyor (3) and the second spring conveyor (4) convey the spring string (31), time-sequentially a plurality of relative conveying speeds between a conveying speed of the second spring conveyor (4) and a conveying speed of the first spring conveyor (3), depending on the detected lengths.

主权项

1. A device for conveying a spring string which has a plurality of interconnected pocketed springs, the device comprising:
a first spring conveyor and a second spring conveyor, the first spring conveyor being adapted to convey the spring string to the second spring conveyor, a sensor device which is adapted to detect lengths of a plurality of segments of the spring string when the spring string is conveyed past a sensor of the sensor device arranged in the conveying direction upstream of the second spring conveyor, and a control device coupled to the sensor device, and coupled to a drive of the first spring conveyor and/or a drive of the second spring conveyor, and which is adapted to set, in an operating state of the device in which both the first spring conveyor and the second spring conveyor conveys the spring string, time-sequentially a plurality of relative conveying speeds between a conveying speed of the second spring conveyor and a conveying speed of the first spring conveyor, depending on the detected lengths.
