CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240010434 titled 'CONVEYOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a conveyor assembly and method that involves a plurality of rollers to transport objects along a transportation path. The assembly includes a drive roller that can be configured in two operating conditions, and a controller generates control signals to control the drive roller. The conveyor section can be configured as a single-zone or dual-zone based on the operating condition of the drive roller.

  • The conveyor assembly comprises multiple rollers that define a conveyor section for transporting objects along a path.
  • The drive roller in the assembly can be configured in two operating conditions.
  • A controller is used to generate control signals to control the drive roller.
  • The conveyor section can be configured as a single-zone or dual-zone based on the operating condition of the drive roller.
  • In the dual-zone configuration, the drive roller independently operates a first conveyor zone and a second conveyor zone within the conveyor section.

Potential Applications:

  • Material handling and transportation systems in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing.
  • Assembly lines and production processes where objects need to be moved along a specific path.
  • Conveyor systems in airports, distribution centers, and other large-scale facilities.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient transportation of objects along a conveyor system.
  • Flexibility in configuring the conveyor section based on the operating condition of the drive roller.
  • Independent operation of different conveyor zones within the same conveyor section.

Benefits:

  • Improved control and flexibility in managing the flow of objects on the conveyor assembly.
  • Enhanced efficiency and productivity in material handling processes.
  • Reduced downtime and maintenance requirements due to the modular and configurable nature of the conveyor assembly.


Original Abstract Submitted

various embodiments are directed to a conveyor assembly and method of using the same. in various embodiments, a conveyor assembly may comprise a plurality of rollers defining a conveyor section configured for transporting one or more objects disposed thereon along a transportation path, wherein the plurality of rollers comprises a drive roller, the drive roller being selectively configurable between a first operating condition and a second operating condition; and a controller configured to generate one or more control signals to control the drive roller; wherein the conveyor section is selectively configurable between a single-zone configuration and a dual-zone configuration based on the configuration of the drive roller in one of the first operating condition and the second operating condition, the dual-zone configuration being defined by the drive roller selectively driving operation of a first conveyor zone and a second conveyor zone defined within the conveyor section independently of one another.
