APPARATUS FOR FEEDING ARTICLES COMPRISING VIBRATION FEEDER Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B65G27/02 B65G27/04 B65G47/14 G01G19/387 

FIELD: transportation.

SUBSTANCE: device for feeding items, for example meat pieces, comprises a vibration feeder, an initial transport mechanism, an object releasing mechanism configured to switch between a pass enable state in which passage of transported objects is permitted, and the items release state, in which the transported objects are discharged from the transportation path, and the distribution transport mechanism, which distributes objects released from the transportation path by the objects release mechanism, in a plurality of destinations. Vibratory feeder comprises multiple openings made in at least bottom part of tray and passing in direction of objects transportation, and at that, transports objects to multiple slots for lowering objects, which are available in combined scales.

EFFECT: objects can be mechanically distributed in available in such semi-automatic combined scales grooves for lowering objects, which leads to a large reduction in load on operator and labour.
