GRAVITY TRANSPORT SECTION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B65G11/02 B65G11/12 B65G11/18 B65G35/00 

FIELD: gravitational transport sections.

SUBSTANCE: gravitational transport section includes a container-bearing surface, the center of gravity of which is fixed on a stationary support by means of a hinged joint. The transport section is additionally equipped with a stepper motor, an intermediate roller, a flexible chain transmission, a sensor unit and a stepper motor control system. The end sections of the bearing surface are connected by a flexible chain transmission, the chain links of which engage with the drive sprocket fixed on the stepper motor shaft. The stepper motor and the intermediate roller are fixed on stationary supports, and the ends of the chain are connected to the end sections of the bearing surface, forming a right angle with the bearing surface when it is in a horizontal position. At the end sections and in the center of the bearing surface, sensor blocks are installed that are connected to the stepper motor control system.

EFFECT: simplifying the design, expanding functionality, increasing reliability and reducing transport energy costs.
