The present invention relates to a device for conveying products on a production line, comprising a section for moving said products longitudinally and another section for diverting said products in relation to said longitudinal movement. One of the sections comprises a plurality of Mecanum wheels compactly grouped in sets, and the device comprises a single means for driving the assembly of Mecanum wheels. The invention also relates to a corresponding method for conveying products.

Modular belt link having a body section, said body section having a forward side and a rearward side, and lateral sides connecting said forward and rearward sides, where said body section has a thickness between a top surface and a rear surface, and further that means are provided along said forward and rearward sides for connecting the modular belt link to other substantially identical modular belt links arranged before and after said modular belt link, characterized in that a plurality of apertures through the thickness are provided, suitable to receive and retain a ball or roller rotatably in each aperture, such that the balls or rollers extend or may be brought to extend above the top surface of the body section where a first plurality of apertures are separated by a first distance x and one or more second apertures are provided spaced from said first plurality of apertures, where when more second apertures are provided they are separated by a second distance y, and where on the bottom surface at least partly into the thickness of the body section one or more cavities suitable to receive sprockets is/are arranged in between at least some of the apertures arranged with the second distance y, and where the first distance x is too short to allow cavities suitable to be engaged by sprockets.

The present disclosure discloses a luggage loading device for mobility capable of improving loading convenience by automating the loading and arrangement of a luggage inside the loading space of the mobility, and a luggage loading method for mobility using the same.

A multi-angle sorter having an omnidirectionally endless conveyor belt surrounding a polygonal frame to form a belt-frame assembly supported atop a roller drive including multiple pairs of diagonally opposite roller sets. Each pair of roller sets is arranged to drive the belt in a corresponding angular direction. A grid sorter comprises a grid of intersecting conveyor lines composed of multi-angle sorters at the intersections in line with conventional bidirectional conveyors.

A system for moving loads comprising a cargo compartment floor, at least one roller track comprising rollers arranged one behind the other in the cargo compartment floor, at least one guideway in the floor and extending parallel to the at least one track, and at least one transport vehicle removably accommodated in and movable along the guideway. The transport vehicle comprises at least one connecting element movable between first and second operating positions. In the first operating position, the connecting element is configured so the transport vehicle is positionable beneath a load on the roller track, and in the second operating position, the connecting element is configured to interact with the load to connect the load to the transport vehicle, so the load is entrained when the transport vehicle moves along the guideway. The transport vehicle further comprises a drive mechanism to move the transport vehicle along the guideway.

This invention describes several mechanisms that increase the value and usability of 3D printing and assembly machines.

A pallet loader for a positioning apparatus, including at least two pallet bays and at least one intermediate member, arranged such that at least two pallet bays are located on different sides of the intermediate member, such that at least one pallet can be driven i) from one pallet bay to another, and ii) from one pallet bay to a positioning apparatus, in which the apparatus includes cooperating guide features on the underside of the at least one pallet and on one or more of the intermediate member and pallet bays for guiding the pallet along a predetermined path and/or for controlling the rotational orientation of the pallet about a vertical axis, as the pallet moves across the intermediate member/pallet bay.

A conveyor system and drive element for same include a chain including a plurality of links that hinge with respect to each other and a plurality of moving elements such as balls that freely move in the links. A drive element drives the chain in a conveying direction and includes an elongated body with a surface that has a plurality of planar facets arranged around the longitudinal axis of the body. The facets extend along the body and engage respective links of the chain as the body is rotated to drive the chain. Relief elements are located in each facet and are configured for receiving the moving elements of the chain links engaging the facets so the links lie generally flat on the facets when the chain is driven. Other versions of the drive element are faceted for driving a chain with links but without relief elements.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus for aligning a bill supplied to a transfer path with a center line of the transfer path. The apparatus may include: a first centering roller arranged at one side of the transfer path and applying a frictional force to a portion of the bill positioned at one side of the transfer path so that the bill is moved to the center line, the first centering roller having a first driven wheel formed in a border part to face one edge line of the transfer path; and a second centering roller arranged at the other side of the transfer path and applying a frictional force to another portion of the bill positioned at the other side of the transfer path so that the bill is moved to the center line, the second centering roller having a second driven wheel formed in a border part to face the other edge line of the transfer path.

A sorting module including two groups of transportation rollers, the two groups of transportation rollers include at least one group of irregular rollers, the other group of transportation rollers are regular rollers or irregular rollers, each group of transportation rollers include at least one row of transportation rollers, each row of transportation rollers include at least one transportation roller; the rotation center lines of each row of transportation rollers are on one straight line, and the rotation center lines of the two groups of transportation rollers are generally perpendicular to each other. A conveying device including the sorting module is simple in structure and low cost.
