Definitions
- the invention is in the field of conveyor technology and relates to a method and a Device according to the preambles of the corresponding claims.
- method and device are used to convert a flow of flat objects, which change, for example, from a flow in which all objects are oriented the same way, a flow is created in which the objects are oriented differently from groups alternating in the current.
- Printed products such as the magazines mentioned, are used in the manner mentioned, for example fed to a stacking shaft, in which they are stored in a stack. If this stack should now be a cross stack, that is a stack in which the Objects are present in groups rotated 180 ° against each other (back edges of the magazines partly positioned on one side and partly on the other side of the stack), the stacking shaft with the resulting stack becomes after the storage of each Group of printed products rotated, as for example in the publication DE-2842117 (or US-4214743, F96).
- the devices for carrying out the known methods with stack rotation are relatively easy if a performance stop for every turn of the stack can be accepted. But the performance should be high or the cycle time should be as short as possible, the supply current must be by means of a switch be divided into two stacking chutes or must be during the stack rotation supplied items are stacked between what the devices makes significantly more complex.
- the above methods with power sharing and different supply of the partial streams as well as the methods mentioned with power conversion are with simpler stacking devices and higher performances feasible, but require complex electricity distribution or conversion Devices and controls.
- the object of the invention is now to improve in this area create.
- the inventive The process is said to be significantly simpler than known flow rate conversions, serve similar purposes. Nevertheless, the current conversion is supposed to various sizes of the object groups can be carried out.
- the inventive method with a very simple device and simple control can be carried out.
- the method according to the invention is usually carried out by a feed flow going out in which the flat objects are oriented essentially the same, and generate a discharge flow in which the objects alternate with one another of the following groups are oriented so differently that, for example, without further measures are fed to a stacking shaft and stored there Result in cross stack.
- the method according to the invention can also be applied to a supply flow in which the objects are already are oriented differently, and convert this feed flow into a discharge flow, in which the objects are oriented the same way or differently.
- the principle of the method according to the invention is to determine the feed path, along which the objects are conveyed individually, in a changing area with a path of conveyance along which the objects are transformed Electricity are carried away, crossed twice and alternating in succession supplied groups of objects at the first and second intersection to be transferred from the feeder route to the away conveyor route.
- the handover exists preferably from a simple depositing of each along a gripper of the conveyed path kept conveyed objects on a conveying support (e.g. Conveyor belt), which moves along the path away.
- the crossing angle between the feed path and the path away is for the two Crossroads, for example, 90 °, but can also be larger or smaller than 90 °.
- the printed products delivered are determined by the Crossing angle reoriented, for example by 90 ° (e.g. conversion of cross conveying for longitudinal conveying for rectangular flat objects).
- 90 ° e.g. conversion of cross conveying for longitudinal conveying for rectangular flat objects.
- the objects in the feed flow are advantageously transverse to their flat surface Expansion promoted, for example held at an upper edge and substantially free hanging, the distances between the products are smaller than their expanse.
- those supplied in this way Objects overlapping each other on the conveyor support of the path away stored so that the converted away flow is a shingled stream that but has a gap at least after every second group of items.
- the device according to the invention has a feed path defining it Feed means arranged one behind the other and along in a feed direction of the feed path movable grippers and a path away defining means of conveyance that is at least in one area of change extending along the path of removal and moving in a direction of removal Has funding requirement.
- the device has control means with which the grippers in the conversion area for the group-wise delivery of the held supplied Objects selectively opened at the first and second intersection can be.
- the grippers of the feed means form independently of each other, such that the distances between them Grippers can be varied and the grippers stopped immediately before the crossroads and can be buffered.
- FIG. 1 shows a very schematic and three-dimensional exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention, on the basis of which the method according to the invention is to be explained.
- the device has a rail 2 as feed means 1 (as a dash-dotted line shown), along the grippers 3 in a feed direction Z independently of one another, that is, they can be moved at variable distances from one another. With help the gripper 3 becomes the flat objects 4 (for example rectangular printed products) on upper edge areas (e.g. longer folded edges of rectangular, folded printed products) held and essentially hanging down fed.
- the device also has a conveying means 10 with an in Moving away direction W advantageously moved at a constant speed Funding 11.
- the path defined by the path 10 is straight and essentially horizontally through a conversion region 20 and is in this Conversion area 20 twice from that defined by the feed means 1 Crossed feed path (crossroads A and B).
- the feed path points between the two crossroads turn 180 ° and it runs at least in the conversion area 20 above the conveying support 11 of the conveying means 10 that the objects 4 held by the grippers 3 are conveyed by simple
- the grippers 3 can be easily opened on the conveyor support 11 of the conveying means 10 can be filed.
- the device has a control means 21, optionally opened with the gripper 3, which are conveyed via the crossroads can be such that an affected object from an open gripper in the most controlled manner possible on the conveying support 11 of the conveying means 10 stored or with a gripper not open over them is promoted.
- the device also has storage means, the function of which, for example, depends on Control means 21 are taken over, with the help of crossroads A and B conveyed grippers 3 immediately before the intersections A and B or in front the point at which the gripper 3 is opened, optionally stopped on the rail 2 and trailing grippers can be stowed behind a stopped gripper.
- the supplied objects 4 are alternately in groups at the crossroads A put down or pass the intersection A and are at the intersection B stored.
- the deposit cycle is matched to the feed rate in such a way that the average filing rate is the same as the feed rate.
- the conveying speed is possibly from further processing of the away flow determined and is advantageously chosen such that the as a group deposited objects 4 are overlapped on the conveyor support 11 become.
- object groups to be deposited or to be deposited one after the other are labeled 1A, 2A etc. in FIG. 1, one after the other at the crossroads B filed or to be filed groups with 1B, 2B etc., where the groups 1A, 1B and 2A are already filed, the group 2B the intersection A already has happened, but has not yet filed and groups 3A, 3B and 4A are still are on the feed path before junction A.
- groups of for example, four objects 4 at the intersection A on the conveyor support 11 filed (A groups) and alternating with these A groups become groups also promoted by, for example, four items each at intersection A. and deposited at the intersection B (B groups).
- the objects are obvious of the B groups relative to the objects of the A groups on the conveyor 11 of the conveyor 10 rotated by 180 °. If the supplied items rectangular, folded printed products that are longer on the one Edge to be fed, which is the folded edge, will be the printed products conveyed away in the longitudinal direction, with the folded edges of the viewer in the A groups 1 facing away, but facing the viewer in the B groups.
- the accumulation means of the intersection A is controlled in such a way that the gripper 3 is also passed objects to be promoted (B groups) are freely conveyed past that Gripper continues unimpeded while depositing the objects of an A group are promoted and that grippers with objects of a subsequent A group be stowed for so long that between A groups deposited at the intersection A. There are gaps on the conveyor support of the away conveyor that are large enough to place a B group at intersection B.
- the stowage means of the intersection B is controlled such that the gripper 3, the objects have already released from A groups, unhindered happen that gripper with objects to be put away from B groups and that grippers are stowed with objects of a subsequent B group for so long be that the B group in a subsequent drop gap between two A groups can be placed.
- the A groups include as many items as the B groups. It is also no condition that the intersection B downstream in the conveying direction from the intersection A is arranged. It could just as well be relative to the direction of removal be arranged upstream from the intersection A, the generated Scale stream sections then consist of a B group and a subsequent one A group would exist.
- FIG. 1 The implementation of a device as shown in FIG. 1 provides Knowledge of the invention is no problem for the person skilled in the art.
- a suitable funding system that he can use is in the publication, for example WO-99/33731 (F475).
- FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention from a bird's eye view and again shown very schematically.
- the same parts of the corresponding device are identified by the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1.
- Two conveying means 10 and 10 ' are provided.
- the feed means 1 essentially consists of a primary feed means 1.1 and two intermediate feed means 1.2 and 1.2 '.
- the intermediate conveying means 1.2 and 1.2 ' like the primary conveying means 1.1, have grippers 3 (represented by dots) and take over the objects 4 from the primary conveying means 1.1, in order to transport them in two changing areas 20 and 20' at two intersections A and B or A ' and B 'to be transferred to the conveying means 10 and 10'.
- the intermediate conveyor 1.2 and 1.2 ' which advantageously as small round runs with a limited number of, for example, independently movable Grippers 4 are formed, can also be omitted and the primary feed 1.1 are crossed directly with the two conveying means 10 and 10 '. It is but it can be clearly seen from FIG. 2 that an embodiment with intermediate conveyors 1.2 and 1.2 ', in particular for objects fed in in the center 4, which are taken over laterally by the grippers of the intermediate conveyor and so that it can be deflected around smaller deflection radii, a very space-saving arrangement allowed. Furthermore, in the embodiment with intermediate conveyors 1.2 and 1.2 'the primary feeder 1.1 more easily connected to each other to form a chain Grippers 3, that is, constant gripper distances.
- FIG. 3 again shows a bird's eye view of another exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention with a feed means 1 and a path 10.
- the feed path and path do not intersect at right angles but at an angle.
- the grippers 3 are designed to be rotatable relative to the rail 2, so that the objects 4 can be aligned parallel to the removal path before being placed on the support surface 11 of the removal means 10. This is necessary if the objects 4 have edges which are at right angles to one another and these edges are to be aligned parallel or transversely to the direction of removal W when they are conveyed away. If this is not the case, the objects can also be deposited in their position oriented transversely to the feed direction Z and the crossing angle can be selected specifically for a specific deposit.
- Figures 4 to 6 show two further embodiments of the device according to the invention, in which the feed means 1 (without intermediate conveyor) is not equipped with mutually independent grippers 4, but with grippers 3 which can only be conveyed from one another at regular intervals (for example, chain 2.1 with equidistant therefrom) mounted grippers 3). It can be seen that in these embodiments, the distances of the feed path and the path away between the two intersections A and B are to be matched to the size of the A groups and the B groups and to the scale flow gaps 22 to be produced between scale flow sections.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment with an infeed means 1 deflected by 180 ° between the intersections A and B and an essentially rectilinear outfeed means 10.
- the A and B groups to be put down each have five objects.
- the A groups and the B groups are stored simultaneously. Groups 1A, 1B and 2A have already been deposited at the time shown, groups 2B and 3A are depositing the third item in each case, group 3B is still on the feed path between intersections A and B.
- each A group and the subsequent B group together form a closed and regular scale flow section and that the shingled stream gaps 22 between successive sections are reduced to a minimum. It can also be seen that after the filing of the last items of an A and a B group and after the Objects from another B group at intersection A and the empty grippers an A group at the intersection B either the feed for the present If four cycles are stopped or the transport is accelerated accordingly must be started before objects can be deposited again. Just this way it can be ensured that the last A group that has been deposited reaches a place has where another B group can be placed on it.
- FIG. 5 shows a further, exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention with a feed means 1, the grippers 3 of which are conveyed at equal intervals from one another and whose conveyance means 10 is operated at a constant speed.
- the scale flow gaps 22 that are necessary between deposited groups are generated in this case by the use of auxiliary conveying means 40 on the conveying side and / or auxiliary conveying means 41 on the conveying away side, for example corresponding conveyor belts, which are operated at speeds different from the conveying speed or the conveying away speed.
- the auxiliary conveyor means 40 on the conveyor side take over the objects from the conveyor means and delay what the described in connection with Figure 1 Congestion equals.
- the auxiliary conveyor 41 on the conveyor side allows one Placing an A group at a low conveying speed and moving it the dropped group at a higher speed.
- FIG. 6 shows a device according to the invention again with a gripper chain (chain 2.1 with grippers 3) or an equivalent conveying means as the conveying means 1 and with two conveying means 10 and 10 'and conveying directions W and W', which means of conveyance from the gripper chain in two crossings A and B or A 'and B' are crossed.
- the method proceeds in the same way as described for FIG. 4, but the device is designed and controlled in such a way that the feed means 1 and the away means 10 and 10 'can be operated at constant speeds. Deposits in the intersections A and A 'take place simultaneously and alternately with simultaneous deposits in the intersections B and B'.
- the last-deposited A groups are moved over the intersections B and B', so that B groups can be placed on it.
- the resulting scale streams in the present case have scale stream gaps 22 between scale stream sections (one A and one B group each) and enlarged scale distances 23 between A and subsequent B groups.
- FIG. 7 shows, as an exemplary and very advantageous application and extension of the method and the device, as described in connection with FIG. 1, a production of cross stacks 30 from a conveying flow conveyed away by the current conversion according to the invention.
- This discharge flow has scale stream sections 31, each with two groups of articles, in which the articles are rotated through 180 ° relative to one another, the scale flow sections A / B being separated from one another by scale flow gaps 22.
- the discharge flow is guided, via a reversal of direction 32, for which the objects and onto a further conveying support 33, diagonally from above over a stacking shaft 34, from where the objects 4 fall into the stacking shaft and are stacked there.
- An ejection means (not shown), with the aid of which a finished stack 30 is ejected from the stack shaft, is movable in an ejection direction X opposite the conveying direction of the further conveyor support 33 and pushes the stack out of the stack shaft on the feed side.
- the ejection means is designed in such a way that it is moved outside of the stacking shaft (under the stacking shaft or past the stacking shaft) to its starting position.
- the method shown in FIG. 7 is particularly suitable for use on folded printed products (e.g. single folded tabloids or double folded newspapers) that are usually in feed streams on their longer ones Folded edges are kept on top.
- folded printed products e.g. single folded tabloids or double folded newspapers
- These printed products are used in power conversion, as already described above, converted into a discharge flow, in where they are conveyed parallel to the folded edges and the folded edges of product groups alternately lie on one or the other side of the stream. Since these products are stiffer parallel to their folded edges than perpendicular to them, they can they are also brought into the stacking shaft 34 with a relatively long free fall, so the ejection line that is up to resuming the feeder for the following stack can still be shortened.
- FIG. 7 therefore shows impressively how simple the method according to the invention is for flow conversion is how easy it is to produce cross stacks below Use of the method according to the invention for converting flow is and how space-saving the device for converting flow with integrated stacking device is executable.
