A conveyor belt includes a plurality of modules arranged in succession and articulated with each other. First and second projections of the modules have mating profiles to allow the insertion of a connecting pin between adjacent modules. Each module includes housings for respective rolling balls projecting through a respective circular opening. The ratio between the diameter of at least one circumferential portion of the housing and the diameter of the respective rolling ball is between 0.8 and 0.6, while at least part of a rib is provided below, near the lower surface, with at least one respective projecting portion arranged for snap-fit insertion of the rolling ball into the respective housing seat.

A conveyance roller 3 including a support shaft 31, a main rotating portion 34, and a sub rotating portion 35, and a driving body 50 that is in contact with the main rotating portion 34 and the sub rotating portion 35 and that supplies a rotational force to the main rotating portion 34 and the sub rotating portion 35 are provided, wherein the main rotating portion 34 and the sub rotating portion 35 are attached along the support shaft 31 and are rotatable independently of each other around the support shaft 31, the sub rotating portion 35 is not configured to contact an object to be conveyed but the main rotating portion 34 is configured to contact the object to be conveyed and bias the object to be conveyed, the driving body 50 is rotated by power around a rotation shaft 51 in a direction intersecting with the support shaft 31, the support shaft 31 is configured to change an orientation of the support shaft 31 by rotating around the rotation shaft 51, and the driving body 50 is in contact with the main rotating portion 34 and the sub rotating portion 35 regardless of the orientation of the support shaft 31.

The invention relates to a method for automated repalletizing of packaged goods, the method to be carried out with a conveyor table with devices for the omnidirectional movement of packaged goods from an original layer, formed by units of packaged goods to be reconfigured, to a target layer, formed by units of packaged goods, wherein the conveyor table has an area that is larger than the area that is occupied by an original layer of the units of packaged goods to be configured, having the following steps: providing an original layer of units of packaged goods on the conveyor table, automated separation of the units of packaged goods by the conveyor table such that maneuvering distances are created between at least two of the units of packaged goods, moving the units of packaged goods to a predetermined position of the target layer, and optionally completing and optionally compressing the target layer of units of packaged goods,
wherein at least more than one of the units of packaged goods of the target layer are on the conveyor table during the entire process, as well as a programmed data processing device for controlling a method and a data carrier or data sequence having control instructions for programming such data processing devices.

An integral weighing and sorting system that weighs articles on a roller belt and selectively actuates or deactuates belt rollers to divert selected articles. After an article is weighed on the roller belt, its weight is compared to a predetermined weight range. Out-of-range articles are directed to exit the belt via a different route from that of in-range articles by actuating the rollers to rotate in a direction transverse to the travel direction in a roller-actuation zone.

A system for processing a logistic object, comprising: a sorting apparatus, a transportation apparatus, and an output apparatus. The sorting apparatus comprises: a logistic object conveyor, at least one chute, and at least one sorting platform. The logistic object conveyor is connected to one end of the at least one sliding chute, and the other end of each chute is connected to one sorting platform. The transportation apparatus comprises a supporting assembly. The output apparatus comprises an output apparatus body and a control device. Also provided are a sorting apparatus and a method for processing a logistic object. The system for processing a logistic object can automatically implement the sorting of logistic objects to complete the packaging processing of the logistic objects, thereby improving the logistic processing efficiency.

A diverter for a transferring conveyor comprises a carrier module. The carrier module is provided which includes the first and second transfer roll groups, a rotation drive part, elastic support portions and a turning variable part. At least one carrier module is disposed on a conveyor according to a package transfer direction to turn the plurality of transfer rolls using the turning motor so as to change a transfer direction of a package.

A liquid withdrawal system includes a base, at least one motion-enhancing element, a plurality of grip elements and a clamp. The base has a load-carrying surface and a rotational axis. The rotational axis is perpendicular to the load-carrying surface. The base is rotatable relative to the rotational axis. The motion-enhancing element is disposed on the load-carrying surface. The clamp is disposed opposite the load-carrying surface. The base and clamp jointly define a receiving space. The receiving space is adapted to receive a liquid barrel. The grip elements are movably connected to the base and symmetrically positioned relative to the base.
