Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the rapid transport of products at a 90 ° deflection from a first transport device to a second transport device to a packaging machine.
  • the invention also relates to a rotary feeder for feeding products transversely to a conveyor with a finger chain in a table top of a packaging machine for carrying out the method.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to remedy this situation and to propose a possibility with which products which are fed transversely to the transport direction of a transport device can be fed safely and without damage at high speed at a defined product distance.
  • the product is after product placement on the second transport means by means of a servo-driven slide product and situation dependent with variable acceleration up to a Transfer speed brought.
  • a servo-driven slider is understood to mean a device which, in the transport direction upstream of the supplied product, is located, with a small clearance, ideally directly on the product, which can be driven by means of a variable-speed servomotor. Due to the variable acceleration, the product can be accelerated depending on the situation, always in firm contact with the slide on a distance of 10 to 50 mm.
  • the acceleration may be parabolic at the beginning or over the entire distance parabolic or even in the initial area parabolic and increase linearly in the end.
  • the slider is accelerated from the standstill after the transfer of the product to the second transport device. This is particularly important in a finger chain as a second transport device, so that the product is accelerated in direct contact with the slider.
  • the slider is accelerated, preferably following at least in the initial region of a square parabola. This makes it possible to accelerate on a transfer speed for a high transport speed of the second conveyor as quickly as possible in direct contact between slide and product.
  • the products are fed in parallel on a double-lane first transport device of the second transport device, wherein as a second transport device a finger chain running in a tabletop is used, and the products are brought to a transfer speed on the second transport means, each with a separately controlled from the other slide.
  • a second transport device a finger chain running in a tabletop is used
  • the second transport device runs at twice the speed of the first transport device.
  • the downstream product comes to lie obliquely, but can be brought by the associated higher-arranged slide on the transfer speed and transferred to the associated chain finger.
  • the subsequent product can be conveyed through this training without difficulty under the higher arranged slide through.
  • a rotary feeder is used as the first transport device.
  • Such rotary feeder are commonly used to donate additional supplements in a product already on a transport device. It is known to use rotary feeder with single-lane or two-lane feeder with different supplements.
  • a rotary feeder is now used which conveys the product (not the supplement) directly into a second conveyor.
  • This presupposes that these are products that allow their thickness and flexibility.
  • the method is thus well suited for bound, stapled or glued multipage bendable brochures.
  • a rotary feeder allows new concepts of embedding the packaging machine, for example directly to a printing press.
  • the product in a rotary feeder become.
  • This serves on the one hand as a buffer and moreover as a transport device in order to arrange the products and, with the correct spacing of the products, supply them to a packaging machine.
  • the rotary feeder additionally enables a rotation of the products by 90 °, so that the products actually moved with the end faces of, for example, a printing press transversely to the second transport device are still moved after the rotary feeder with the end face in the transport direction on the second transport device.
  • the device according to the invention further comprises a rotary feeder in which a servomotor is provided, which accelerates a slider with variable acceleration arranged above the table top to a transfer speed for the transport device.
  • the rotary feeder is designed as a two-track rotary feeder, which has two separately driven and driven by servo motors slide and parallel feeds the products of the transport device.
  • parallel in this context is understood that the products are transported in the transport device directly behind each other without delaying the speed of the transport device on.
  • an intermediate plate for receiving an edge of the downstream with respect to the transport direction product is arranged.
  • the slider for the product located with one edge on the intermediate plate is arranged at a distance greater than the height of the product above the table top.
  • the invention thus allows by using the slide in their various arrangements with a control via a servo motor an individual and especially on a short distance high speed reaching sliding movement. This allows a damage-free transfer straight at a feed across the next transport direction.
  • the rotary feeder there is also the possibility of products which are fed transversely to the second transport device with the front side to transport them in the second transport device again with the front side on. This enables transport with 350 cycles per minute and more.
  • FIG. 1 shows the first transport device 1 in the form of a well-known and usual double-track rotary feeder transversely to the second transport means 2.
  • the second transport means comprises a smooth table top 3 in which a finger chain 4 in a longitudinal slot with chain fingers 5 runs in a known manner.
  • the rotary feeder of the first transport device 1 has in the vicinity of the second transport means usual invisible first conveyor belts and second conveyor belts for parallel to the second transport means supplied first products 13 and second products 14. These hide in the figures, these conveyor belts.
  • first slide 8 and a second slide 9 which are each driven by a first servo motor 10 and a second servo motor 11.
  • linear motors are used for this purpose.
  • first slider 8 and the first servo motor 10 are provided.
  • second slider 9 and the second servo motor 11 are provided.
  • an oblique intermediate plate 12 ( FIG. 4 and 5 ), which preferably drops slightly in the conveying direction and to which the first product 13 comes to lie with its side facing the rotary feeder of the first transport device 1 side 15. With the other side 16, the product 13 rests on the table top 3.
  • the slider 8 runs to the right and the slider 9 in the transport direction to the right of the finger chain 4.
  • the slider 8 ends with its lower end at a greater distance from the table plate 3 than the slider 9, wherein the distance of the slider 8 from the table plate 3 is greater than the height of the Products is.
  • the product 13 is donated downstream downstream and rests with its edge 16 on the intermediate plate 12 not visible in this figure. It is donated so that it rests against the slider 8 or only with the least possible distance to it.
  • the associated chain finger 5 ' is still removed from the product 13 and directly in front of the conveyor belt for the product 14, so that therefore a supply of the product 14 at this time is not possible.
  • FIG. 3 shows the state in which the slider 8 has already covered its maximum travel and has brought the product 13 to a transfer speed.
  • the associated chain finger 5 ' is already attached to the product 13, as can be seen from the figure.
  • the upstream product 14 is already supplied and is partially on the table plate 3.
  • the associated here chain finger 5 is still removed from the product 14th
  • FIG. 5 is the product 13 already pushed down by the associated chain finger 5 'of the intermediate plate 15 and further transported.
  • the Chain finger 5 "has picked up the product 14 from the slider 9, which is already in its original position, and transports the product 14 under the slider 8 and the intermediate plate 15. Once the product 14 has been transported out of the feeder area of the rotary feeder, it starts the next cycle.
  • the acceleration of the slides 8 and 9 by means of the servomotors 10 and 11 is carried in the embodiment rising to a square parabola, whereby it is possible, the products 13 and 14 on the short available path of about 40 mm to the transfer rate bring.
  • the packaging machine as such, which ultimately packs the product, is not shown.
