An oscillating conveyor having a conveying apparatus and a drive device that, upon actuation by a control device, excites an oscillation of the conveying apparatus with respect to a base of the oscillating conveyor to convey objects supported by a conveying surface of the conveying apparatus. The control device includes a communication interface for communication with an external communication device. The control device is designed so as, upon receiving a communication message including address and control information, to use the communication interface to check an addressing condition, the meeting of which is dependent on the address information, and only if the addressing condition is met to alter the actuation of the drive device based on the control information and/or to set an internal control parameter on which at least one chronologically subsequent actuation of the drive device by the control device is dependent to a value that is dependent on the control information.

Oscillating conveyor having a control device

An oscillating conveyor comprising an oscillating rail, at least one electromagnet with a coil, and an armature connected to the oscillating rail, which armature can be moved by activation of the coil to generate an oscillation of the oscillating rail, wherein the coil is part of an oscillator circuit, wherein the oscillator frequency of the oscillator signal of the oscillator circuit depends on the inductance of the coil, which is influenced by the position of the armature relative to the coil, wherein the oscillating conveyor comprises a feedback circuit, which drives the coil by means of a control signal which maps the change over time in the frequency of the oscillator.

Oscillating conveyor and method for operation of an oscillating conveyor

A sensor device which is used to provide a control device with at least one operating parameter of an oscillating conveyor, the control device being used to control a drive device for exciting oscillation of an oscillating rail on the basis of the operating parameter, the sensor device including at least one sensor element for recording the operating parameter or at least one measured value from which the operating parameter can be determined, the sensor device including at least one communication device for wirelessly transmitting the operating parameter to the control device and an energy supply device for supplying the sensor device with operating energy, the energy supply device being used to convert a vibration generated by the drive device and/or electromagnetic radiation into the operating energy.

Sensor device for providing at least one operating parameter of an oscillating conveyor, and oscillating conveyor

An oscillating conveyor including an oscillating rail, on which goods can be conveyed in the direction of a first position on the oscillating rail by oscillation of the oscillating rail, and also including at least one excitation element for exciting the oscillation. The excitation element is an ultrasonic transducer which is coupled to the oscillating rail at the first position and via which the oscillating rail can be excited into oscillating at the first position in dependence on a control signal supplied by a control device. The oscillating conveyor has at least one damping element and/or the oscillating rail itself is formed from an oscillation-damping material so that the oscillation amplitude decreases along the oscillating rail as the distance from the first position increases.
