Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sheet material stacking device, in particular spiral tray stacker, and a method for controlling the inlet of sheet material in storage compartments of a continuously or intermittently rotating stacker wheel.
  • Spiral tray stackers are used, for example, in sheet material checking and sorting devices in which sheet material stacks, for example banknote bundles, are first separated, then passed through a sensor system for testing purposes and finally stacked by means of spiral stackers in different stacks.
  • the function of the spiral slot stacker is to decelerate the transported individual sheets by deflecting in a spiral path before their final filing. It is uncritical in most applications, if not every tray of the stacking wheel is covered with a sheet when destacking or if a storage compartment exceptionally covered with more than one sheet.
  • a disadvantage of the latter proposed solution is that in closely spaced sheets very high accelerations of the stacker wheel are necessary to bring the next storage compartment in time to the ideal inlet position. Another disadvantage arises in connection with overlapping sheets, which can occur in particular in the processing of used banknotes due to their poor condition.
  • JP 61-130160 A From JP 61-130160 A it is also known to stacks anomalies leaves, z. As the presence of a double sheet to determine and take into account when stacking.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a sheet material stacking device and a method for controlling the intake of sheet material in storage compartments of a stacker wheel, wherein the stacker wheel is influenced so that even at very short blade intervals or overlapping leaves a defined stacking at low Effort is made possible.
  • the invention provides to detect and evaluate a group or groups of at least two leaves sensory by means of a sheet material sensor, and that on the basis of the evaluation result for this group or groups of sheets measures are taken which are suitable for a reliable transfer of all leaves of this group into the slots of the To ensure forklift wheel.
  • the kinematics of the stacker wheel can be influenced in a forward-looking manner, wherein the influencing can relate to the position and / or speed and / or acceleration of the stacker wheel.
  • the sheet material sensor determines one or more information about the approaching sheet material, the distance between two sheets and / or the length of a sheet or the total length of several overlapping sheets.
  • the sheet material sensor is placed a sufficient distance in front of the stacker wheel, so that the information about the subsequent sheet relative to the previous sheet evaluated and a corresponding influence on the stacker can be made before the leading sheet starts to run into a storage compartment of the stacker wheel.
  • the distance between the stacker wheel and the sheet material sensor should therefore correspond to a length which is composed of the maximum length of the sheets to be processed, the normal distance between the sheets and an additional distance, the additional distance being so dimensioned depending on the transport speed, that sufficient time is available for evaluating the sheet material sensor information and suitable influence on the individual sheet flow.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention provides for combining the distance measurement between two sheets and the total length measurement of the sheets or overlapping sheets. This is possible in a simple manner with a single sheet material sensor, which may be designed, for example, as a light barrier and is preferably located at the previously described distance from the stacker wheel. By means of the light barrier the presence of sheet material in the transport path can be easily determined.
  • the time that elapses between two successive sheets serves as a measure of the distance between the sheets and the time elapsed between the distance measurement as a measure of the length of a sheet or a group of sheets.
  • the deviation from a predetermined movement sequence of the stacker wheel synchronized with the sheet material singling rate is deliberately deviated and the stapler wheel is influenced in accordance with the individually determined sheet flow by either accelerating the stacker wheel, slowed down or stopped or rotated only at very low speed.
  • the stacker wheel can be stopped for a short time or rotate at a very low rotational speed so that both sheets can run into a common storage compartment.
  • the speed of rotation of the stacker wheel can be increased in the short term to compensate for the shortened distance, so that the two sheets run into separate storage compartments.
  • the determined distance exceeds a predetermined maximum distance, then it makes sense to brake the stacker wheel for a short time in order to take account of the increased distance, so that both sheets reliably run into separate storage compartments.
  • the stacker wheel be stopped or rotated at a low speed or at least slowed down so far that all leaves of this group of leaves are completely absorbed in a common storage compartment.
  • the stacker is usefully stopped, so that the next succeeding sheet or the next leaf group can enter the same stacker compartment . Only when a sufficiently large distance is again determined, the stacker wheel is positioned on the next storage compartment and optionally switched again from the individual Blattfluß Kunststoffung on the synchronized control (synchronization of Staplerradrotations ein with the Blattgutestzelungsrate).
  • the stacker wheel In the event that a group of overlapping sheets is detected with a thickness sensor, it is advisable to stop the stacker wheel, as a statement about the total length of the overlapping sheets and thus an indication of the time that the leaves to shrink in need the storage compartment, not readily possible. The stacker wheel is then positioned on the next storage compartment only when a sufficient distance between two sheets or groups of sheets is determined again.
  • the total length of the overlapping sheets is determined and evaluated, it is possible to determine exactly at which point the overlap begins and ends. Under these conditions, it is possible to achieve a separation of the overlapping sheets by timely accurate short-term acceleration of the stacker so that the sheets run into separate storage compartments. However, it must be ensured that not too strong accelerations and speeds of the stacker prevent the entry of the leaves or cause a spin out.
  • the transport speed in the influence on the kinematics of the stacker wheel can be taken into account such that the entry of a sheet or a group of sheets into a storage compartment is just completed before the next sheet or the next group of sheets enters the next following storage compartment.
  • the stacker wheel rotates at a single or multiple synchronous speed, the synchronous speed vs being the nominal singler rate r N (leaves per minute) and the number n F of storage bins per revolution.
  • a multiple synchronous speed means that in the rated operation of the machine, ie at synchronized singler rate and Staplerradieri, not every subject of the stacker wheel is covered with a sheet. This reduces the risk that subsequent sheets will interfere with stacking as they collide with kinks or folds.
  • each tray can be selectively occupied with a sheet to reduce the duration of the positioning of the stacker wheel to the next desired slot.
  • a particular embodiment of the invention provides that in addition to or instead of influencing the kinematics of the stacker wheel Blattgut Vietnamese is affected in at least a portion of the Blattguttransportrange to bring irregularly spaced sheets or overlapping sheets to a normalized distance, so that the shrinkage of a Sheet per tray is often possible.
  • a transport system is provided which has at least one transport path segment whose transport speed can be influenced as a function of the sheet material sensor information.
  • FIG. 1 The overall view of a spiral slot stacker shown schematically in FIG. 1 shows a stacker wheel 1 with a number of storage compartments 2 distributed over the circumference in a spiral shape, which are formed by partitions 20.
  • the stacker wheel 1 rotates in the direction of arrow 10 and takes sheets 7A, 7B, which are fed via a driven in the direction of arrow 11 transport system 5, in the storage compartments 2 and transports the leaves in the circumferential direction of the stacker wheel 1, until finally by a scraper 4 from the Trays 2 are pulled and fall on a stack 3.
  • the spirally curved partitions take over the function of continuously decelerating the transported sheets 7A, 7B.
  • the stacker wheel rotates at a speed corresponding to the multiple of the synchronous speed.
  • a sheet material sensor 16 is arranged at a greater distance from the stacker wheel 1.
  • the sheet material sensor 16 is designed as a light barrier and detects the presence or absence of sheet material in the transport system 5.
  • a proximity sensor 6 is arranged in the vicinity of the stacker wheel 1, which is also designed as a light barrier and serves to to detect the leading edge of an approaching blade 7A. Under certain circumstances, this proximity sensor 6 can be dispensed with, as will be explained below, in particular if a sheet-goods transport speed sensor 17 is provided.
  • a synchronized separation of similar leaves without occurring irregularities results in a synchronized cycle length to successive leaves 7A, 7B, which is inversely proportional to the separation rate v N and is composed of a period t L (standard length), the is the time it takes for a sheet to be transported over any point of the transport system and a time t a (synchronized distance) that passes between two consecutive sheets 7A, 7B.
  • Both the synchronized distance t a and the standard length t L are determined with the sheet material sensor 16.
  • the distance between the proximity sensor 6 and the sheet material sensor 16 is greater than the synchronized cycle length t 0 selected, so that at the time when the leading sheet 7A reaches the proximity sensor 6, an evaluation of the information supplied by the sheet material sensor 16 already carried out by an evaluation device 18 is and determines whether the synchronized clock length t 0 between the two consecutive sheets 7A, 7B is within predetermined tolerance limits or if an impermissible irregularity is present, for example, in the distance between the two sheets or in the total length of a sheet or a group of sheets.
  • the proximity sensor 6 detects the arrival of a sheet 7A
  • the stacker wheel 1 is stopped in order to allow run-in of overlapping sheets or closely spaced successive sheets in a common tray 2, and only when the distance between two consecutive sheets 7A, 7B is above a minimum distance is brought the next storage compartment 2 of the stacker wheel 1 in the inlet position.
  • a position sensor 14 which detects the Staplerradposition based on a contact plate 13 and forwards to the evaluation unit 18.
  • the position sensor 14 has only a resolution which corresponds to the number of storage compartments 2 or the partitions 20, a higher resolution can be achieved by evaluating information of the drive of the stacker wheel 1 in addition to the position sensor 14. If the drive is formed by a stepper motor, for example, the steps taken by the stepper motor can be counted. Since it is known how many steps are between each two partitions 20 and storage compartments 2, thus the exact position can be determined.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 Shown in each case is a schematic section of the transport path of the sheet material 7 in the direction of the arrow, wherein the leaves 7A, 7B and 7A, 7B, 7C each define a group of sheets, their relative position to each other is determined and evaluated by means of the sheet material sensor 16 in order to make a suitable influencing of the kinematics, ie the position, the speed or the acceleration, of the stacker wheel 1 on the basis of the evaluation result.
  • the kinematics ie the position, the speed or the acceleration
  • t 0 denotes the synchronized cycle length, ie the distance between two successive sheets in synchronized operation without occurring irregularities, which is composed of the synchronized distance t a and the length t L of the sheet material to be processed, as previously explained.
  • Fig. 2 shows the case of an irregularity of the distance between the blades 7A, 7B.
  • the actual distance t ' a between the blades 7A, 7B of this group of blades is less than the synchronized pitch t a . If no action is taken, this may result in the trailing blade 7B still entering the storage compartment 2 with its leading edge in which the leading sheet 7A has already been picked up so that the trailing blade 7B collides with the dividing wall 20.
  • the proximity sensor 6 may take appropriate action to prevent this collision.
  • the singler wheel 1 can be stopped so that all the incoming sheets 7A, 7B, ... can be received in a common tray 2 until the sheet material sensor 16 has a sufficiently large distance t ' a ⁇ t a to a subsequent sheet 7C or a subsequent sheet Group of leaves reports that allows further indexing of the stacking wheel.
  • the speed sensor 17 if there are information about the Blattguttransport für by the speed sensor 17 and taken into account in influencing the kinematics of the stacker wheel 1, it is also possible to specifically influence the rotational speed of the stacker wheel 1 so that the trailing sheet 7B enters the next desired storage compartment 2.
  • the stacker wheel 1 must be accelerated or pre-positioned for a short time only by a corresponding amount.
  • the stacker wheel 1 need only be braked by a corresponding amount to prevent collapse of the trailing blade 7B to reach the next desired storage compartment.
  • Fig. 3 the case is shown that the sheet material sensor 16 determines a total length t L of the sheet or the group of sheets 7A, 7B, 7C, which is above the standard length t L.
  • the proximity sensor 6 At the time when the approach of the leading sheet 7A is signaled by the proximity sensor 6, it is already clear that a measure must be taken which must be met by a group of overlapping sheets 7A, 7B, ....
  • This measure can in turn be to stop the stacker wheel 1 or to move on at low speed until all the leaves of this group of sheets are received in the same storage compartment 2, ie until the sheet material sensor 16 indicates a distance t ' a between 2 consecutive sheets, the larger or is equal to the synchronized distance t a .
  • measures for influencing become the Staplerrads taken as described in connection with FIG. 2.
  • Fig. 4 shows a case in which the sheet material sensor 16 (at least also) is designed as a thickness sensor.
  • the sheet material sensor 16 determines whether there is an impermissible deviation from the predetermined sheet thickness do due to the actually determined thickness d 'of the sheet material, and in the positive case, concludes with a group of overlapping sheets 7A, 7B.
  • the same measures come into consideration, as they were explained in connection with FIG. 3, where also overlapping leaves were (but due to the determination of the total length t ' L ) were determined.
  • the sheet material sensor 16 designed as a thickness sensor can likewise be designed as a light barrier, but the intensity of the light transmitted through the sheet material is measured.
  • both the leading edge of the leading sheet 7A (single photocell) and the leading edge of the succeeding sheet 7B and the trailing edge of the leading sheet 7A (intensity measurement) can be determined for their exact position. This makes it possible to accelerate the stacker wheel 1 taking into account the sheet-conveying speed such that the sheets 7A and 7B enter separate storage compartments 2. That is, in this specific embodiment as well, information about the sheet-conveying speed is of interest, which can be detected by, for example, the speed sensor 17 by detecting the rotational speed of a transporting wheel.
  • the proximity sensor 6 can also be dispensed with, since it merely provides the information that sheet material 7 is approaching the stacker wheel 1, in order to meet the necessary measures for influencing the kinematics of the stacker wheel 1 in good time before the sheet material enters a storage compartment 2. But if the sheet transport speed, for example by the speed sensor 17, known, then the sheet material sensor 16 is sufficient to determine the time at which the sheet material will hit the stacker wheel 1 from. For this point in time results in a simple manner from the quotient of the sheet material sensor distance to the determined transport speed.
  • the consideration of the transport speed in the determination of the influence on the kinematics of the stacker can also be used advantageously to adjust the movement of the stacker to the time available until the next sheet so that the positioning of the stacker wheel until the arrival of the next sheet straight is completed.
  • the spiral slot stacker according to FIG. 1 provides as a further additional or separate measure that the transport system 5 has a transport path segment 12A, 12B whose transport speed can be influenced.
  • the speed of the transport path segment 12A, 12B is controlled. Gaps within groups of sheets can be varied to the synchronized distance and overlapping sheets can be pulled apart. This makes it possible to stack one sheet per tray more frequently.
  • a control finger 8 is shown in Fig. 1, which acts in the direction of the arrow 9 perpendicularly from above on the transported sheet material and with which it is therefore possible, the sheet material relative to the transport direction to press down to distract, for example, in the case of rapidly successive leaves the lagging sheet 7B to the next desired storage compartment 2, even if this storage compartment has not reached the actual inlet position at this time.
  • the invention not only makes it possible to switch from a synchronized operation to an individual sheet flow control when irregularities occur, but is also particularly suitable for constantly operating in the mode of individual sheet flow control when, for example, sheet material of the most varied format has to be unstacked.
  • the stacker is constructed according to a concept which differs from the described Spiralfachstapler, in which the sheet material but still must be passed to the stacker at defined times to ensure safe and good storage in the truck.
  • a stacker may, for example, have a rotating drum which has at its surface at certain intervals openings which are acted upon by a negative pressure.
  • Other periodically, continuously or intermittently operated stacking devices which may be designed, for example, as a ripper, are also permissible if, as in the case of rotating stackers, statements can be made about the times at which the sheet material is picked up by the stacking devices in order to enable the described control ,
