Abstract:
To provide a simple and flexibly usable transport device in the form of a long stator linear motor, which enables a movement of a transport unit of the transport device in several different planes, it is provided according to the invention that a transition segment including a continuous-flow conveyor having a longitudinal axis is provided, adjoining the starting point or the ending point of the transport track in the longitudinal direction, for transporting the transport unit in a direction of movement extending along the longitudinal axis, wherein the continuous-flow conveyor is provided to move the transport unit in the direction of movement at least sectionally in a conveying plane deviating from the movement plane of the transport track.

Claim (Index 1):
A transport device in the form of a long stator linear motor, comprising:\n at least one transport unit; and a transport track comprising a plurality of transport segments arranged consecutively in the longitudinal direction, having a starting point and an ending point, along which the transport unit can be moved in the longitudinal direction along a movement path predefined by the transport segments, the transport track further comprising at least one curved transport segment having a curved movement path that is located in a two-dimensional plane, the two-dimensional plane defining a movement plane in which the transport unit can be moved along the entire transport track, wherein a transition segment including a continuous-flow conveyor having a longitudinal axis is provided, adjoining the starting point or the ending point of the transport track in the longitudinal direction, for transporting the transport unit in a direction of movement extending along the longitudinal axis, the continuous-flow conveyor being provided to move the transport unit in the direction of movement at least sectionally in a conveying plane deviating from the movement plane of the transport track, and a steady transition between the movement plane of the transport track and the conveying plane of the continuous-flow conveyor being provided for a movement of the transport unit without jerk in the transition between the transport track and the transition segment.
