Automatised drip conveyor

[Gouflax]

Hi everybody,

I share here my new idea : a drip convoyor distribution.



It can be useful if you want to have a multiple type of resources in a single conveyor receptacle.

The concept is simple : a line of conveyor meters associate with conveyor loaders, automatised with a filter door and an AND door.

The swich can be use to stop the setup.



When the AND door become green, it send a green signal before turning back red immediatly.
Each convoyer meters let pass 1 unit a ressource, and send a green signal to the filter door.
The filter door send a red signal to let the resources run on the rail.
When the rails above the conveyor meters are empty, the cycle restart.

The set on the filter door depend of the number a convoyers in the setup.
The values :



You can have any number of ressource type in the rail. The thing to keep in mind is to have 2 squares of rails without resources between every load.
The charging lag between every cycle break the equilibrium, and the 2 empty squares help the setup to regulate itself.
