System for loading articles into a container
The patent US12071312B2 describes a sophisticated system designed to facilitate the loading of articles into containers. Central to this system is a platform unit paired with an elevator unit that can adjust its elevation relative to the container. The platform features an opening that faces the container, along with a transfer arrangement consisting of multiple parallel transfer members. These members can extend independently in a loading direction, allowing for the precise placement of articles onto the platform's receiving surface. A positioning arrangement is included to ensure that articles are oriented correctly and positioned accurately for loading. The system can selectively extend a subset of these transfer members to assist in placing articles at predetermined locations within the container.
Additionally, the system incorporates various features to enhance its functionality. It includes a mechanism for retracting transfer members after an article has been placed, with the option to lower them before retraction. The positioning arrangement may consist of guide members that can move toward each other, and an auxiliary guide member can help displace articles toward the opening. The platform can also be equipped with a gate to control access to the opening and a rotating arrangement to adjust the article's orientation before loading. Furthermore, lateral transfer arrangements are integrated to facilitate the movement of articles within the container, utilizing cylindrical rollers designed for efficient transfer. Overall, this patent outlines a comprehensive solution for improving the efficiency and accuracy of loading articles into containers.
