CA 2534652

A roller conveyor (10) includes a plurality of idler rollers (12) positioned along and between opposite sidewalls (14a, 14b) and a transverse drive system (16) operable to rotatably drive at least some of the idler rollers of the roller conveyer. The transverse drive system includes a motorized roller (18) positioned generally transverse to the idler rollers and a plurality of drive members (20) drivably connected between the motorized roller and respective ones of the idler rollers. Actuation of the motorized roller drives each of the drive members, which in turn independently rotatably drive the respective idler rollers. The transverse drive system may be selectively operable to accumulate articles on one or more zones (11a, 11b) of the roller conveyor. The roller conveyor may include a right angle transfer unit (240) operable to transfer articles in a direction generally normal to the direction of conveyance of the idler rollers.

L'invention concerne un transporteur à rouleaux (10) comprenant une pluralité de cylindres non commandés (12) positionnés le long et entre des parois opposées (14a, 14b) et un système de commande transversal (16) permettant de commander de manière rotative au moins certains des cylindres non commandés du transporteur à rouleaux. Ledit système de commande transversal comprend un cylindre motorisé (18) positionné généralement en diagonale par rapport aux cylindres non commandés et une pluralité d'éléments de commande (20) relié de manière commandée entre le cylindre motorisé et un des cylindres non commandés. L'activation du cylindre motorisé commande chaque élément de commande, qui à leur tour commandent indépendamment de manière rotative les cylindres non commandés respectifs. Le système de commande transversal peut fonctionner de manière sélective, ce qui permet d'accumuler des articles sur une ou plusieurs zones (11a, 11b) du transporteur à rouleaux. Ledit transporteur à rouleaux peut comprendre une unité de transfert (240) à angle droit permettant de transférer des articles dans un sens généralement normal vers la direction de transport des cylindres non commandés.
