Various designs of a spiral accumulator apparatus are disclosed for controlling the flow of articles. The accumulator has an infeed conveyor (26) driven in a first direction to convey articles (4) therealong in the first direction along a first path that is at least partially curved, and an outfeed conveyor (34) driven in an opposite direction to convey articles therealong in the opposite direction along a second path that is at least partially curved. A movable transport member (38) is disposed generally across and movable along the space (36), and an article transfer member (58) is carried by the transport member and operably disposed between the infeed and outfeed conveyors to transfer articles between the infeed conveyor and the outfeed conveyor. A transport member mover (48) is connected to the transport member. A differential drive mechanism (50) is located at a fixed position spaced from the transport member.
L'invention concerne de nombreuses conception d'un accumulateur en spirale permettant de contrôler un flux d'articles. Ledit accumulateur comprend un transporteur (26) d'entrée se déplaçant dans un premier sens, destiné à transporter les articles (4) dans une première direction, le long d'un premier passage qui est partiellement incurvé, et un transporteur (34) de sortie se déplaçant dans le sens opposé et transportant des articles dans le sens opposé, le long d'un second passage, qui est partiellement incurvé. Un élément de transport mobile (38) est disposé de manière générale en travers et il peut se déplacer le long d'un espace (36), et un élément de transfert d'article (58) est transporté par l'élément de transport et disposé de manière fonctionnelle entre les transporteurs d'entrée et de sortie, ce qui permet le transport d'articles entre le transporteur d'entrée et le transporteur de sortie. Un chargeur (48) d'éléments de transport est relié à l'élément de transport. Un mécanisme de commande (50) différentiel est situé à un emplacement fixe, et il est espacé de l'élément de transport.
