Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif pour la séparation de pièces comprenant un disque rotatif (2) muni d'alvéoles périphériques successives (3) pour recevoir les pièces, des moyens (23) pour faire parvenir les pièces sur la surface supérieure du disque (2) pour qu'ils se répartissent dans les alvéoles (3), lorsque le disque (2) est dans une position de service dans laquelle ledit disque est situé dans un plan (P) formant un premier angle (A) avec la direction verticale, et un moteur (13) ayant un arbre de sortie (12) relié au disque (2) pour entraíner le disque en rotation, dans lequel le disque (2) est supporté en rotation par rapport à une monture (16) à laquelle est fixé, au moins indirectement, le carter (14) du moteur (13), et ladite monture (16) est articulée à un bâti (8) du dispositif pour être mobile entre une position de service dans laquelle le disque (2) est en position de service, et une position de purge dans laquelle le disque (2) est généralement situé dans un plan formant avec la direction verticale un deuxième angle inférieur au premier angle (A).

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a device for separating parts, comprising a rotary disc (2) provided with successive peripheral cells (3) for receiving the parts, means (23) for conveying the parts on the upper surface of the disc (2 ) so that they are distributed in the cells (3), when the disc (2) is in a service position in which said disc is located in a plane (P) forming a first angle (A) with the vertical direction, and a motor (13) having an output shaft (12) connected to the disc (2) for driving the disc in rotation, in which the disc (2) is supported in rotation relative to a mount (16) to which is fixed , at least indirectly, the casing (14) of the motor (13), and said mount (16) is articulated to a frame (8) of the device to be movable between a service position in which the disc (2) is in position service, and a purge position in which the disc (2) is generally s ituted in a plane forming with the vertical direction a second angle less than the first angle (A).
