DEVICE FOR ACTIVE ORIENTATION AND CLASSIFYING OF ARTICLES Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; instrumentation; electronic engineering and other branches of industry where classifying and orientated delivery of unit articles to processing stations are required. SUBSTANCE: device for active orientation and classifying of articles moving in flow has hopper with perforated carrying surface installed with tilting, pneumatic chamber and feed conveyor. Carrying surface is made as independent sections in form of portion of hollow truncated cone made for oscillatory movement in different directions relative to longitudinal axis. Number of sections can be changed depending on number of types and sizes of articles to be classified. The device is good for classifying and active orientation of unit articles moving in flow, both, differing in types and sizes, and those of one preset size row exposed to constant specific load.
