摘要 |
The invention relates to a transfer mechanism ( 12 ) for separating conveyed objects ( 4 ) out to the side from a first conveyor system ( 1 ) onto another conveyor system ( 14 ), with a pushing unit and two parallel flexible drives ( 15 a, b) at a distance apart extending at an angle with respect to the longitudinal direction of the first conveyor system ( 1 ), each of which has an endless traction means ( 23 ) which can be driven, and the pushing unit has oppositely lying drivers secured to the traction means ( 23 ) and a profiled pushing element ( 29 ) which is able to slide out of an initial position at the side, adjacent to a conveyor path ( 6 ), into an operating position in the conveyor path ( 6 ). The pushing element ( 29 ) extends continuously between the two flexible drives ( 15 a, b) and is mounted on the drivers so that it can be moved by means of articulated arrangements exclusively about the first axis extending perpendicular to the conveyor plane ( 18 ) of the conveyed objects ( 4 ) and about the second axis extending parallel with the transfer direction ( 13 ) of the transfer mechanism ( 12 ). The invention further relates to a conveyor system ( 1 ) in which the transfer mechanism ( 12 ) is integrated.
