Definitions
- the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Known devices which are arranged downstream of a printing press, use grippers arranged on endless chains, which open in a curve-controlled manner and drop an arc for stack formation. Dropping can be done with suction air and
- Blowers can be improved by greatly decelerating the conveying speed and accelerating the falling movement.
- the sheets to be deposited are brought against a stop and aligned with straight pushers acting on the side edges.
- the moving parts in the delivery of a printing press represent a safety risk, so that the delivery area is largely encapsulated.
- Appropriate additional devices such as flaps or switches can be provided for the sample sheet removal, which requires additional effort.
- the object of the invention is to develop a device for depositing sheets on a stack, which allows substantially free access to the stack and can be implemented with little material and cost.
- the elements provided for depositing the sheets are essentially facing the sheet processing or inspecting machine.
- the elements work at the rear end of the arch and only take up a small volume.
- the free accessibility is given on three sides of the stack. If the sheets are placed face up, the print image is easy to inspect because only a small area is covered by said elements and the lighting conditions are optimal for the inspection.
- the stack can be removed without hindrance. If the friction members are designed as independently driven rollers, an inclined position of an arc can be compensated for. If the friction members are additionally movable transversely to the conveying direction of the sheets, the lateral position of the sheets can be adjusted.
- the device has only a few elements with a small volume. Stops or storage containers that specify the shape of the stack are not required. A wide variety of sheet formats can be stored without requiring any settings.
- Fig. 3 - 7 an embodiment with control curves.
- 1 and 2 the essential parts of the device according to the invention are shown schematically in side view and top view.
- 1 shows a stack 1 on which sheets 2 are to be placed horizontally one on top of the other.
- two rollers 3, 4, two tongues 5, 6 and a hold-down 7 are provided.
- the axes of rotation of the rollers 3, 4 are aligned along a line 8 which is parallel to the upper, rear stacking edge 9 and perpendicular to the conveying direction 10.
- the rollers 3, 4 are arranged symmetrically to the center line 11 of the stack 1 in the vicinity of the side edges 12, 13 of the stack 1.
- the rollers 3, 4 are driven independently of one another by stepper motors, so that the rollers 3, 4 can rotate in the direction of the arrow 16 at different speeds.
- the rollers 3, 4 with the stepper motors are attached to a common frame 17.
- the frame 17 with the rollers 3, 4 can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction 18 and can be positioned in the lateral direction 19.
- the rollers 3, 4 are provided on their surface with an elastic material so that they are in contact with a sheet 2 gives a high coefficient of friction.
- the tongues 5, 6 lie in the lateral direction at the height of the rollers 3, 4.
- the tongues 5, 6 are very flat, parallel to
- the frame 20 with the tongues 5, 6 can be positioned in the vertical direction 18 and in the horizontal direction 21.
- the surface 22 of the tongues 5, 6 facing the rollers 3, 4 are made polished and have a low coefficient of friction with respect to the sheet material.
- Tongues 5, 6 can have a high coefficient of friction with the underlying sheet 2.
- the holding-down device 7 acts in the middle on the rear stacking edge 9.
- the holding-down device 7 is also arranged so that it can be positioned in the horizontal and vertical directions 18 and 21.
- the underside 24 of the hold-down 7 has a high coefficient of friction with respect to the sheet 2 underneath.
- the mode of operation of the device is to be explained with reference to eleven partial images of FIG. 1: in the initial state (FIG. 1J), the rollers 3, 4 and the tongues 5, 6 are raised in their uppermost vertical position.
- the hold-down 7 presses with its underside 24 onto the sheet of stack 1 lying above and fixes it.
- the rollers 3, 4 rotate at a peripheral speed which corresponds to the conveying speed of a sheet 2 output from a printing press.
- the conveying direction 10 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction 21 so that the sheet 2 can slide along the smooth surface 22 of the tongues 5, 6 starting with its front edge 25.
- the tongues 5, 6 on the stack 1 and the rollers 3, 4 are lowered to about half their maximum height via the stack 1.
- the front end lies under the rollers 3, 4, as shown in FIG. 13.
- the rollers 3, 4 press the sheet 2 against the surface 22.
- the sheet 2 is further conveyed by the rotation of the rollers 3, 4.
- the stepper motors of the rollers 3, 4 are deactivated when the rear edge 26 of the sheet 2 has reached the rear stacking edge 9. This state is shown in Fig. 1.4.
- the holding-down device 7 is lifted from the stack 1 and, as shown in FIG. 1.5 in more detail, is displaced in the horizontal direction 21 against the conveying direction 10 of the sheet 2, so that the front end 27 of the holding-down device 7 is still in front of the rear Stack edge 9 lies.
- the sheet 2 is deposited on the stack 1 in the area between the tongues 5, 6.
- the hold-down device 7 is pulled away, the sheet 2 remains fixed in position by the rollers 3, 4. As shown in FIGS.
- the hold-down device 7 is put back onto the rear end of the stack 1 by a horizontal and a vertical movement.
- the hold-down 7 now takes over the position fixing of the uppermost sheet 2.
- the rollers 3, 4 can, as shown in Fig. 1.8, be lifted from the stack 1.
- the tongues 5, 6 are lifted from the stack 1 and retracted in the horizontal direction 21 until the front end 27 of the tongues 5, 6 is still in front of the rear stack edge 9.
- the sheet 2, which is further fixed by the hold-down device 7, is deposited entirely on the stack 1.
- a last step as shown in Fig. 1.11, the tongues 5, 6 are moved back into the position above the stack 1 and under the rollers 3, 4.
- the rollers 3, 4 are set in rotation, whereby the initial state for depositing a next sheet 2 described in FIG. 1J is established.
- the stepper motors of the rollers 3, 4 can be part of a position control loop for the sheets. Detectors for the position of the sheet 2 in relation to the stack edges can be provided for this purpose. In comparison of the actual position with a target position, control signals can be derived which in the step according to FIG. 1.3 drive the rollers 3, 4 with different peripheral speeds in such a way that said inclined position is compensated for. In the step according to FIG. 1.4, the frame 17 with the rollers 3, 4 can still be positioned in the direction 19, as a result of which a lateral offset of the sheet 2 with respect to the stack 1 can be compensated for or intentionally generated.
- FIG. 3-7 show an exemplary embodiment in which two tongues 101, 102 and a hold-down device 103 arranged between the tongues 101, 102 can be lifted and lowered from a stack (not shown) with the aid of cam disks 104-106.
- the cam plates 104-106 are firmly seated on a shaft 107 which is mounted in a frame 108.
- a toothed belt transmission consisting of toothed belt pulleys 109, 110, 111, a toothed belt 112 and a motor 113 fastened to the frame 108 is used to drive the shaft 107.
- the tongues 101, 102 are connected via pivot joints 114, 115 to a common, essentially vertically arranged holding plate 116 which one is pivotally mounted on an axis 117 held in the frame 108.
- Hold-down device 103 is also connected via a swivel joint 118 to a holding plate 119 which is likewise pivotably mounted on axis 117.
- a further shaft 120 is mounted in the frame 108, which lies parallel to the shaft 107 and is fastened on the cam plates 121, 122, 123.
- the cam disks 121 - 123 roll up
- Retaining plates 116, 119 are. As can be seen from the bottom view in Fig. 4, the
- Tongues 101, 102 and under the hold-down device 103 The shaft 120 is driven by the toothed belt pulley 110 in synchronism with the shaft 107.
- tension springs 128-130 are provided, which are attached to an axle fixed in the frame 108 131 are attached.
- a clamping holding plate 132 On the axis 117, a clamping holding plate 132 is pivotably mounted close to the holding plate 119.
- a further deep groove ball bearing 133 is provided in the clamping holding plate 132, which cooperates with a cam disk 134, which is also fastened on the shaft 120.
- a tension spring 135 connects the hold-down device 103 to the deep groove ball bearing 133 in the clamping holding plate 132.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 An assembly shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 is mounted over the elements described in FIGS. 3-5.
- the assembly contains offset rollers 136, 137 which cooperate with the tongues 101, 102.
- the offset rollers 136, 137 are fastened on an aluminum tube 138.
- the aluminum tube 138 is guided in sliding bearings on a drive shaft 139.
- a bushing 140 which is provided with a longitudinal slot, the torque is transmitted from the drive shaft 139 driven by a stepper motor to the offset rollers 136, 137 with the aid of a pin screwed into the drive shaft 139.
- a stepper motor 141 with an attached spindle causes a lateral displacement of the offset rollers 136, 137 on the drive shaft 139.
- the transmission of the forces for the lateral displacement of the offset rollers 136, 137 takes place through a joint head 142 secured against rotation on the spindle
- Rod 142 is guided a rod 143 which in a non-rotating collar 144th is screwed.
- the joint head 142 and the rod 143 are for lifting the
- Offset rollers 136, 137 from tongues 101, 102 are necessary.
- the rod 143 can at
- Paper feeder 152 a pair of rollers 153 being provided in the transport path of the sheets.
- the rollers of the pair of rollers 153 can be driven independently of one another by motors, as a result of which an inclined arc can be aligned by accelerating one of the rollers.
- its lateral position can e.g. B. detected with a CCD line.
- the difference between the center of the arch and the theoretically exact center position of the arch can be determined by means of computation and corrected with the aid of the lateral displacement of the offset rollers 136, 137.
- the correction of the deviation of the center of the sheet from the center of the paper path is also carried out analogously when generating sheet stacks with offset sheets.
- the cam plates 104-106, 121-123, 134, 150, 151 have the corresponding phase positions and geometries corresponding to the movement sequence already described for FIGS. 1 and 2. With one revolution of the shaft of the motor 113, the entire stopping and depositing procedure is run through.
- the clamping holding plate 132 and the tension spring 135 in connection with the cam disk 134 bring about the complete relaxation of the holding-down device 103 shortly before the holding-out device 103 is pulled out of the space from a newly deposited sheet and the stack already formed. In this state, the holding-down device 103 does not exert any holding forces on the stack. While the hold-down device 103 is relaxed and pulled out of the stack, the tongues 101, 102 take over the clamping of the overhead sheet. The newly deposited sheet over the tongues 101, 102 is replaced by the
- Tongues 102, 102 are first clearly lifted from the sheet stack by the cam plates 104, 106.
- a relaxation process would also be feasible, as it already does for
- Hold-down device 103 has been described. A few milliseconds before the
- Tongues 101, 102 begin to lift the offset rollers 136, 137 due to the
- Cam discs 150, 151 This premature lifting of the offset rollers 136, 137 from the
- Tongues 101, 102 are necessary so that the sheet conveyed out between the offset rollers 136, 137 and the tongues 101, 102 is released and is ultimately only held by the hold-down device 103.
- the two lateral sheet edges also rise to a small extent. If, in a next step, the tongues 101, 102 are pulled away from the sheet stack 1 by the cams 121, 122, the sheet stack 1 is released by the tongues 101, 102 and the conveyed sheet is deposited on the already existing stack 1.
- Cam discs 104, 106, 121 122 are designed so that the tongues 101, 102 remain in a raised position as the tongues 101, 102 advance over the stack, so that they can move safely over the stack. It is only shortly before the end position of the tongues 101, 102 when it rushes over the stack that the tongues 101, 102 are lowered onto the stack by means of the cam plates 104, 106. A newly conveyed sheet can then move onto the stack via the tongues 101, 102, the offset rollers 136, 137 being still in a raised position due to the cam disks 150, 151, ie there is no contact between the tongues 101, 102 and the offset rollers 136, 137.
- the offset rollers 136, 137 are brought to the sheet feed speed. After the offset rolls 136, 137 have been lowered, they take over the sheet transport onto the stack before the pair of rolls 153 in the paper feeder 152 releases the sheet. The correction of the inclined position of a sheet by means of the pair of rollers 153 is completed before the offset rollers 136, 137 are put on.
- the sheets can be located in the conveying path directly behind the pair of rollers 153, two spaced apart perpendicularly in the conveying direction Detectors for the trailing edge of the sheet may be provided. This allows a storage of the
- the detector signals are used to start the engine 113 and correct the skew of the sheets.
- the depositing system is in a rest position after each depositing cycle, in which the hold-down device 103 rests on the sheet stack, the tongues 101, 102 are in the retracted position and the offset rollers 136, 137 are lifted off.
- the leading edge of the sheet can also be detected.
- the information about the sheet length must be made available to the filing system. This information is then used to determine the corresponding time delay for the starting point of the filing cycle.
