When the laser of exposer 3 was given galley 7 imaging, pick device 2 can be removed galley 7 for the protection stacking and be in middle paper between each galley 7.After taking out a bar printing version 7 from the galley buttress, this middle paper just is in the top of drawer 5.The eliminating of this paper is by realizing with the same mechanism of picking up galley 7, in other words by adsorption plate 10 and the vacuum system that can set up.Can be not picked for paper in the middle made from galley, on adsorption plate 10, establish the suction nozzle 11 of different sizes.Paper picks up by the vacuum system of setting up on less suction nozzle in this case.If middle paper is picked, then drawer 5 is moved back in edition storehouse 1.By cutting off vacuum, this paper drops in the stacked containers 9 before version storehouse 1.
By among the figure not expression can be located at sensing mechanism on the adsorption plate 10, can determine whether to exist galley 7 or middle paper.For example an induction type detector can be reported, whether reclined on adsorption plate 10 metal or nonmetal.
After galley 7 imaging and the eliminating of middle paper, galley 7 is sent on the conveyer belt of flat drawer 6 by pick device 2.By the conveyer belt of drawer 6 of expression not in the drawings, galley outputs on the output stage 14, and then can transport among the figure the not developing apparatus of expression.Output stage 14 also can be arranged in the rear side in edition storehouse.
Not only the structure of the structure of exposer 3 but also developing apparatus all is known, does not therefore need to do any further instruction in this respect.
In order further to optimize the manufacturing of galley in time, can on an exposer 3, establish two by pick device 2 of the present invention.Fig. 2 has schematically illustrated this equipment.One of them pick device 2 is loaded into galley 7 in the cartridge type exposer 3 and paper in the middle of getting rid of.Therefore, this pick device sets for version storehouse 1.Another pick device 2 takes out the galley 7 of imaging from cartridge type exposer 3, and by output stage 14 it is further transported to the developer (not shown).
Fig. 3 schematically illustrates pick device 2.It comprises a frame 15 that 16 and two sidepieces 17 in bottom are arranged.Sidepiece 17 can be connected by the lower shaft 19 that motor 18 drives rotation with one in the top.The driving shaft of motor 18 extends to pinion 20 places.Pinion 20 is connected with belt pulley 22 work by article one odontoid belt 21.Belt pulley 22 rotations are contained on the axle 19 regularly.The axle 19 at two ends each be connected with an arm 13.Here, arm 13 is contained in the end of axle on 19 and is designed to arc or dish type.Arm 13 is by axle 19 synchronizations and implement parallel oscillating motion.At the other end of arm 13,, an adsorption plate 10 is installed rotatably by a support that comprises upper axis 23 and stull 12.Adsorption plate 10 is designed to the shape of cylindrical section.The upper axis 23 of adsorption plate 10 is arranged essentially parallel to axle 19 and arranges.Adsorption plate 10 is arranged to and can be waved around upper axis 23.Adsorption plate 10 keeps orientation vertically when waving, and adsorption plate 10 is based on gravitational orientation.Upper axis 23 is connected with axle 19 work by second odontoid belt 24.By device driven, adsorption plate 10 is implemented controllable oscillating motion.
Adsorption plate 10 comprises at least two suction nozzles 11.Represented a plurality of suction nozzles 11 here, they be parallel in a row that upper axis 23 is contained in the adsorption plate 10 or on.On adsorption plate 10, can establish the suction nozzle 11 of different sizes.Other layouts of suction nozzle 11 also are possible.Among suction nozzle 11 and the figure not the controllable vacuum system of expression be connected.Adsorption plate 10 is designed to can be out of shape with regard to its surface configuration.In Figure 4 and 5, represented the form of implementation that adsorption plate 10 is different.
Drive motor 18 obtains the support of Weighting system 25.For this reason, respectively in the end of arm 13 arcs fixed lever portion 26 and a counterweight 27.Counterweight 27 is guided on frame 15, so it can only implement to move both vertically.For this reason, respectively establishing a balladeur train on the counterweight 27 and respectively establish a guide rail on frame 15, both are not expression in the drawings all.When arm 13 descended, counterweight 27 is upwards drawn by oscillating motion, and was then downward when arm 13 rises.Therefore, when descending, slowed down oscillating motion, and this moment is supported the power of motor when rising around the moments of axle 19 effects.
In Figure 4 and 5, schematically illustrate cross section by the different forms of implementation of adsorption tool of the present invention with the device that is used for fixing on upper axis 23.Fixedly the device of usefulness comprises two pneumatic linear actuators 28 and a single mandrel 29 and axle driver 30 in Fig. 4.Represented a device that is used for fixing adsorption plate 10 among Fig. 5, it respectively comprises two stulls 12 and a contiguous block 31, connects stull 12, upper axis 23 and arm 13 on contiguous block, and the latter is not expression in the drawings.
Stull 12 or pneumatic linear actuator 28 be contained in rotationally on the adsorption plate 10 and contiguous block 31 or axle driver 30 on.By reducing the angle between stull 12 or the pneumatic linear actuator 28, adsorption plate 10 can be out of shape aspect its surface configuration.
In this case, angle as shown in Figure 4 change and thereby the alteration of form of adsorption plate 10 can be by 30 controls of axle driver.By different with it schemes, angle changes and can cause under the effect of gravity.If adsorption plate is upwards handled from cartridge type exposer 3 or from drawer 5 as shown in Figure 5, then the angle between the stull 12 changes based on acting on the gravity on the adsorption plate 10.
Fig. 6 has represented a kind of embodiment of adsorption plate 10.This adsorption plate 10 has some holes at the sidepiece of the axis arranged that is parallel to cylindrical section, so adsorption plate can be than easier in central authorities in the distortion of these sidepieces with regard to its surface configuration.
The invention still further relates to a kind of method that is used for automatic loading and unloading galley.Fig. 1 represents a kind ofly can implement equipment by method of the present invention by it.The drawer 5 that a folded galley 7 of certain specification is contained in version storehouse 1 passes through drive unit level extraction.Then, thus pick device 2 swings to towards the direction in version storehouse 1 always and makes adsorption plate 10 contact and can pick up with galley 7.By proceeding oscillating motion and the distortion by the adsorption plate 10 that interrelates with it, all suction nozzles 11 are all contacted with galley 7.By on suction nozzle 11, setting up vacuum, galley 7 is fixed on the adsorption plate 10.Picked after on the adsorption plate 10 in galley 7, adsorption plate navigates in the cylinder of exposer 3 by the oscillating motion of arm 13, and by cutting off vacuum it is inserted in the cylinder.Different with it, described oscillating motion can be by the level and the replacement that moves both vertically.
During galley 7 imaging of exposer 3, the eliminating of paper in the middle of carrying out.For this reason, arm 13 drawer 5 backswing of still opening to version storehouse 1 from exposer 3.On the paper, this middle paper had been in the top in the drawer 5 after taking galley 7 away in the middle of adsorption plate 10 then dropped to.Picking up of middle paper by finishing with the same mechanism of picking up galley 7.Picked with paper in the middle of this for preventing galley, vacuum system is optionally set up on less suction nozzle 11.In addition, can detect galley 7 and/or whether middle paper exists on adsorption plate by sensing mechanism.
Behind the paper, drawer 5 is moved back in edition storehouse 1 again in the middle of picking up by adsorption plate 10.By cutting off vacuum, drop under the middle principal direction in the stacked containers 9 of groove 8.
Then, pick device 2 is again to 3 backswing of cartridge type exposer, and by setting up the vacuum pick galley 7 of imaging.Arm 13 is again to 6 backswing of opened drawer.The galley 7 of closing drawers 6 and imaging is transferred on the output stage 14 by the conveyer belt of drawer 6.At last, galley 7 is transported to the developing apparatus that is connected the downstream by output stage 14.
