Stabilized carrier basket trolley, stabilized carrier basket transporter system and method of stabilizing a carrier basket in a carrier basket transporter system

Abstract

A stabilized carrier basket trolley for a transporter system, the trolley has two cars on the track, on a first side of a support plate and pivotable relative thereto. A distance between the cars changes during traversal of curves and a center of the trolley moves relative to the track towards the inside of a curve. A carrier basket is pivotably connected on the support plate and pivots about a pivot axis. The trolley includes a gear mechanism for actively compensating a moment acting on the carrier basket during traversal of curves that includes a drive wheel drivingly connected to a first gear rotatably mounted on the support plate, and a second gear, meshing with the first gear, non-rotatably connected to the carrier basket. The drive wheel comes into contact with a side of the track upon movement of the center of the trolley relative to the track.
