Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device of the type specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Transport devices for individual pieces are also known (DE-A-2 130 441 and US-A-2 752 154), which work with a suction roller which has a plurality of suction openings distributed over its circumference.
  • a suction roller which has a plurality of suction openings distributed over its circumference.
  • the invention has for its object to increase the processing capacity of a device of the type described in the preamble of claim 1, that is to say the number of individual pieces conveyed per revolution of the suction roller, and nevertheless a perfect rejection of the marked individual pieces while maintaining a register-specific transport of the others Unique pieces, to ensure.
  • the individual pieces a, b etc. of securities or the like are conveyed on the conveyor track 1 by a chain C with push fingers P1, P2 etc. in the drawing from left to right.
  • the chains run on sprockets 8, 9 ( Figure 3), which are driven in the usual way.
  • a responsive detector 2 is arranged above the conveyor track 1.
  • This detector 2 can be a conventional device which responds to fluorescent ink. However, it can also be a device with a changing magnetic field if the individual pieces to be sorted out are made of a material that conducts eddy currents.
  • Another detector 2a is a photoelectric device for determining duplications, i.e. when two individual pieces have been placed on top of each other. In this case, the device is stopped by a control device 41.
  • Another detector 2b is also a photoelectric device for checking certain characteristics on the individual pieces, with which it is determined whether this individual piece has the correct orientation.
  • a third photoelectric device 2c is a counter.
  • the securities After passing the detector 2, the securities pass between a rotating suction roller 4 with four suction nozzles 13, 14, 15 and 16 and a pressure roller 5.
  • an electrovalve 19 is actuated, which connects a vacuum source to the suction roller 4.
  • the suction roller 4 picks up the individual piece to be sorted out and conveys it counterclockwise in FIG. 1 (arrow) to a second suction roller 6.
  • This second suction roller 6 also has view suction nozzles 37, 38, 39 and 40. These two suction rollers 4 and 6 are arranged with respect to one another in such a way that the suction nozzles of the roller 6 are connected to the vacuum source at the same time that this connection with the roller 4 is interrupted so that the recorded individual piece is transferred from the roller 4 to the roller 6.
  • This single piece is then guided clockwise in FIG. 1 (arrow) by the roller 6 past a counter 59 of conventional design.
  • This single piece then passes between the two rollers 31 and 32 and falls from there via a guide 33 onto a conveyor belt 34, which then deposits the single piece on the deposit table 35.
  • the connection of its suction nozzles 13 and 15 to the vacuum source takes place by means of an outer circular arc slot 17, while the suction nozzles 16 and 14 can be connected to the vacuum source via an inner circular arc slot 11.
  • These two slots 11 and 17 are in turn connected via lines 11 'and 17' to the valves 19 and 19a.
  • the suction nozzles 13 to 16 are arranged so that they come to rest on the front edges of the individual pieces to be sorted out. If a single piece to be sorted out is now determined by the detector 2, the switching device 41 effects the opening of the valve 19 and a connection of the circular arc slot 17 to the vacuum source.
  • Circular arc slots 36 and 42 are also provided on the suction roller 6 in order to be able to apply a negative pressure to the suction nozzles 37, 3S, 39 and 40 of the suction roller 6 via the valves 10 and 10a.
  • This negative pressure is present at the suction roller 6 approximately 140 ° later than at the suction roller 4, i.e. only when the individual item to be separated out enters the gap between the two rollers 4 and 6.
  • the suction nozzle 37 picks up the individual piece to be separated out and conveys it further in the clockwise direction.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the suction device. Then the suction roller 4 sits on a shaft 24 which is driven by a gear 18. This shaft 24 is seated in a frame F1, which in turn is rotatably supported in a bearing 43 in a fixed side frame F. This arrangement allows the two rollers 4 and 6 to rotate outside of the transmission.
  • the bearing 43 also carries the shaft 44 on which the upper suction roller 6, the drive gear 48 and another gear 52 are seated.
  • the drive for the two suction rolls 4 and 6 takes place via a drive gear 45a on the shaft 45, which is connected via the gear 46 and the toothed belt 47 to the toothed wheel 48, which the shaft 4 and via the gear 52 and the toothed belt 51 also Shaft 24 rotates.
  • the toothed belt 51 runs between the toothed wheel 18 and a chain wheel 50, so that the rear of this toothed belt 51 is driven by the toothed wheel 52 (FIG. 3). In this way, the two suction rolls 4 and 6 rotate in opposite directions ( Figure 4).
  • a free-running sprocket 50a tensions the toothed belt 47.
  • These two circular arc slots 11 and 17 are located in a fixed valve plate 12 which is pressed against the suction roller 4 by means of a spring 20 and is secured against rotation by means of a pin 53 in the frame (FIG. 2).
  • the suction roller 6 here has two rows of vacuum nozzles 38, 38a etc. These two rows are arranged opposite the one row of suction nozzles 13 etc. on the suction roller 4 in such a way that they are axially offset on both sides of this one suction nozzle row (FIG. 2).
  • the suction nozzles 38, 38a and the diametrically opposite suction nozzles 40, 40a on the suction roller 6 open into the inner circular arc slot 42 of a fixed valve plate 54.
  • the other pair of diametrically opposite suction nozzles 37 and 39 open into the outer circular arc slot 36, as is also the case with the other suction roll 4 is the case.
  • the chains C and C1 run over sprockets 8 and 8 'on the drive shaft 45. These chains C and C1 also run over sprockets 9 at the other end of the chains ( Figure 1).
  • the circular arc slots in the suction roller 4 run over a circular arc of approximately 140 °.
  • the circular arc slots in the suction roller 6 also run over circular arcs of approximately 140 °. Therefore, when the detector 2 responds, the valves 19 and 19a connect either the circular arc slot 17 or the circular arc slot 11 to the vacuum source for a little more than 140 °.
  • the valves are connected to the detector 2 via the switching device 41 or another control device which maintains the signal of the detector 2 over a roll rotation of approximately 140 °.
  • the valves 10 and 10a connect the vacuum source to the suction roller 6 about a rotation of 140 ° later than the connection of the vacuum source to the suction roller 4.
  • This connection also exists during a roller rotation of about 140 ° of the suction roller 6, after which this connection is interrupted and the picked-up single piece arrives between the rollers 31 and 32 and is conveyed from there via the guide 33 by a conveyor belt 34 to the receiving table 35.
  • the switching device 41 is synchronized by a control device 55 on the shaft 45 of the chain drive gear 8 (FIG. 2).
  • a counter 58 (FIG. 1) counts the pieces which have not been sorted out and a counter 59 counts the individual pieces which have been sorted out.
  • a test device 60 checks for double thickness of all individual pieces. In the case of such a double thickness, the device is stopped by switching off by means of the switching device 41.
  • a detector 61a which responds to fluorescence checks again for fluorescent, labeled individual pieces which may not have been sorted out.
  • the detector 62 is a photoelectric device which checks the orientation of the individual pieces. All of these detectors are connected to the switching device 41 or another control device via a cable.
  • FIGS. 4A, 4B, 4C and 4C show the mode of operation of the device designed according to the invention.
