  • Patent number: 11565885
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9884728
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 9505558
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7046154
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flame-monitoring device in which an a.c. input voltage (U1) is limited to a voltage limit (U2) by means of a voltage limiter (4). Said voltage limit (U2) is applied to a flame sensing device (7) which operates by means of the rectifying effect of a flame, and through which a current (i) flows, especially when a flame (6) is present. An asymmetric voltage limit (U2) can be defined by said voltage limiter (4), said limit being then applied to the sensing device (7).
