Proposed is a cleaner device for a belt conveyor. A plurality of scrapers adjacent to each other horizontally is provided, and remains in close contact with a surface of a belt of the belt conveyor by an elastic force of a plurality of pressing units. The adjacent scrapers include inclined parts that are in close contact with each other at opposite ends so that the ends can be maintained in close contact with each other, an injection part and a passage for supplying a lubricating liquid between the inclined parts that are in close contact with each other so that the lubricating liquid can move independently and smoothly according to the curve of the surface of the belt, and a storage part for storing the supplied lubricating fluid so that the lubricating fluid can be continuously supplied between the inclined parts in close contact with each other.

A robotic service device is described for use on a robotic picking system grid. The robotic service device is capable of driving to any location on the grid order to perform maintenance operations or cleaning. Additionally, the service device may be used to rescue robotic load handling devices operational in the picking system. The robotic service device may include a releasable docking mechanism to enable it to dock and latch on to malfunctioning load handling devices. The service device may also be provided with cleaning capability and a camera to enable the condition of the grid and other robotic devices to be monitored.

A cleaning mechanism for use with a closed loop conveyor belt supported in continuous traversing fashion. The mechanism includes a housing for supporting the belt, a frame mounted to the housing proximate to the belt. A drive shaft extends between spaced apart locations of the frame and includes a pair of head sprockets adapted for supporting the belt at a selected location. A motor is engaged to an input end of the drive shaft. A counter weighted comb element is pivotally secured to the frame, an upper angled combed edge of the comb element arrayed in spatial non-contacting fashion with a traversing exterior of the belt for capturing elongated shaving debris suspended from the belt. A slave shaft extends between additional spaced apart location of the frame and which is rotated via a linkage with the drive shaft. Pluralities of bristles extend from the slave shaft in a cylindrical arrangement such that selected width extending portions of the bristles are arranged in successive contact with the belt upon rotation of the slave shaft in order to scrub the belt.

An automatically cycling detecting-and-sorting device has a base, multiple accommodating elements, at least one pushing rod, multiple side rods, and a detector. An object under inspection is put in one of the accommodating elements, and the accommodating element is conveyed along a first channel of the base and is under detection of the detector. The accommodating element is conveyed to the discharging region and then conveyed back to the feeding region, or the accommodating element is pushed away and then conveyed back to the feeding region. Because each object under inspection is accommodated in an individual accommodating element, even though any object in the accommodating element fails to pass the detection, the disqualified accommodating element is pushed away individually without affecting the processing of other accommodating elements. The whole detecting, sorting and cycling proceed automatically.
