IMPROVED CONVEYOR SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION AND WEIGHING OF AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B65G47/86 B07C5/24 B65G17/32 B65G47/96 

FIELD: transportation; packaging and storage.

SUBSTANCE: products are loaded onto separating device (A), which contains cells, which are formed by adjacent rollers (R1, R2, R3, …) and translational rectilinear motion is performed. Products are gripped from separating device (A) in collection station (P1) and transported to release station (L1) by first transport facility (B) equipped with grips (11) opening in lower part, at that, products are weighed. In the release station (L1), the products are placed on the second transport facility (C). Grips (11) and products are first moved along the same initial axial line (K), and in the path section between the sampling station (P1) and the release station (L1), they are moved, as a result of which products are located on two or more different and parallel axial lines (Y1, Y2, Y3, …). Second transportation facility (C) includes unloading chain conveyors (C1, C2, C3 …), each of which contains bowl-shaped containers (15, 16, 17 …), which are located in multiple rows (F1, F2) lying on corresponding of axial lines (Y1, Y2, Y3 …). Bowl-shaped containers (15, 16, 17 …) of each conveyor are located with displacement in longitudinal direction relative to cup-shaped containers (15, 16, 17 …) of another conveyor.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of the plant.
