Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for bringing together in a cutting process in the form of a row of adjacent blanks to a pile or stack, in particular for bringing together playing card blanks produced by cutting a strip of material into a complete game, in which the blanks after the cutting process into a a plurality of receptacles arranged next to each other can be inserted, which is replaced by a it is possible to empty the latching device, which can be activated in cycles, which passes through the holding devices arranged next to one another and deposits the blanks which have been brought together to form a pile or stack on a delivery device arranged next to the magazine.
  • a plurality of magazines arranged one behind the other on an endless path are provided, which can be transported step by step into a plurality of working positions by means of a cyclically activatable transport device, one of which is provided in the effective area of a feed device and at least one further one is provided in the effective area of at least one gathering device .
  • the transport device can be driven from a single-speed shaft which specifies the machine cycle, wherein a free-wheel clutch which contains a register can be provided in the kinematic drive chain hoist and can expediently be activated by means of a preselection counter.
  • Another advantageous measure can be that the transport path of the magazines passes below the gathering device.
  • the magazines can extend on rails extending transversely to the magazine running direction have, which are each assigned a front and rear stop extending over their entire length, which laterally limit the receiving devices, which are preferably formed by wedges rising in the forward direction of the gathering device, received on the rails.
  • the front and rear stops not only ensure a clean alignment of the blanks inserted into the individual receiving devices by the feed device, but at the same time also result in reliable securing of the blanks in position during operation of the transport device.
  • the magazine rails receiving the receiving devices and the supports receiving the stops are each received with their ends separately on chains which are preferably provided to form the transport device.
  • the separate storage of the magazine rails and the stop support advantageously results in a space-saving design with regard to the required swivel space in the reversing areas of the transport device.
  • the pivoting space required for the rotation of the stops can advantageously be further reduced in the reversal area by folding or pivoting the stops onto the chains.
  • FIG. 1 In the production of playing cards, a sheet printed with this is cut into narrow long strips, which in turn are cut into corresponding rectangular blanks in the individual playing cards.
  • a cutting station 1 which has an upper and a lower knife roller 2 or 3 with knife disks arranged next to one another in accordance with the printed image on the strips to be cut.
  • the strips are removed from a stack 5 by means of a feeder 4 and transferred to the cutting station 1 with longitudinal edges running transversely to the knife roller axis.
  • the transport of the strips through the cutting station is made upstream and downstream of the knife rollers and is formed by pair of pulling rollers Pulling devices 6 and 7 accomplished.
  • the strips led out of the cutting station 1 by the pulling device 7 arranged downstream of the knife rollers are inserted in a separated form into a merging device 8, which merges the blanks lying next to one another into a stack or butt.
  • the merging device 8 is acted upon by a feed device 9, which has a belt or belt guide 10 for each of the blanks lying next to one another.
  • the merging device 8 has a plurality of magazines 11 a, 11 b to 11 f arranged in a paternoster-like manner on an endless path, which have receiving devices 12 for the blanks lying next to one another and can be moved step by step by means of an assigned transport device.
  • the magazines 11 a to 11 f arranged one behind the other arrive in several working positions one after the other.
  • the magazine in question is in the effective area of the feed device 9.
  • the strips, which have been cut into individual blanks in the separating station 1 are thrown into the magazine 11 a with their blanks lying next to one another.
  • the magazine 11 b that is adjacent to the magazine 11 a, here in the magazine running direction, is in the effective area of a gathering device 13.
  • the playing card blanks present in the magazine 11 b are brought together transversely to the magazine running direction and in the form of a stack or joint that results from this one on the side, here laid out by a delivery conveyor 14.
  • a deck of cards includes the printing of several strips. These are placed in separated form with their adjacent blanks in the working position illustrated by the magazine 11 a, one on top of the other in the magazine in question.
  • the transport device receiving the magazines is activated.
  • the bumps or stacks placed on the side delivery device each contain a complete game.
  • the cycle in which the transport device receiving the magazines is activated is therefore predetermined by the number of strips required and can simply be derived from a single-turn shaft, not shown here, which specifies the machine cycle of the feeder 4.
  • the filled magazine reaches the effective area of the gathering device 13 and is replaced by a new, empty magazine.
  • the gathering device 13 is, as can best be seen from FIG. 2, equipped with a Rafforgan 16 provided here by a fork with rigid tines 15, which by means of a drive device, not shown here, transversely to the magazine running direction in the longitudinal direction of the magazines for bringing together the blanks contained therein can be moved back and forth.
  • the Rafforgans 16 are used when the magazine is at a standstill. Instead of a reciprocating movement of the Rafforgans 16 this could also on a continuously rotating drive element, the speed of which is selected such that the rafforgan 16 is not in the magazine engagement during a forward movement of the magazines.
  • the transport path of the magazines passes below the gathering device 13, so that rigid fork tines 15 can be used.
  • the gathering device 13 below the magazine transport path. In this case, it would then be necessary to provide extendable fork tines for the magazine insert. In any case, there is a long period of time available for the gathering or merging process, namely the same period of time that is required to insert the strips belonging to a complete game and cut into adjacent blanks into the magazine located in the effective area of the feed device 9.
  • the Rafforgan 16 can therefore be moved correspondingly slowly, which ensures a high level of operational safety and a gentle working method.
  • the magazines 11 a to 11 f consist, as can best be seen from FIG. 3, of rails 17 which extend transversely to the direction of the magazine and on which wedges 18 arranged one behind the other are formed to form the receiving devices for the adjacent blanks, so that a Compartmentalization of the blanks that can be brought together with the aid of the Rafforgan, ie to be layered one on top of the other. Cut packets of the type indicated at 19 results.
  • the wedges 18 are accordingly in the forward direction of the shirred organs 16 thickened.
  • the feed device 9 has a belt or belt guide 10 for each magazine-side receiving device. This can consist of two lower and an upper belt or belt arranged approximately in the center thereof.
  • each rail 17 provided with wedges 18, as can be clearly seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a front and an in the magazine running direction assigned in the magazine running direction rear stop 20 or 21.
  • the front stop 20 in the magazine running direction expediently has such a height that the blanks thrown into the associated magazine by the band guides 10 of the feed device 9 cannot shoot out beyond this.
  • the rear stop 22 can be shortened somewhat, so that the blanks to be inserted into the magazine can pass over it. From the stood the stops 20 and 21 corresponds to the length of the rectangular blanks additionally a required game.
  • the width of the wedges 18 is so shortened that there are running channels delimited by the stops for the tines 15 of the Rafforgan 16 reaching at least as far as the wedge base.
  • two endless chains 25 are provided in the exemplary embodiment shown, as can further be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, on which the ends of the rails 17 and carriers 22 which extend over the entire machine width are included.
  • bolts 27 are provided on a chain lock 26, which engage in the bearing blocks 28 receiving the rails 17 or the carriers 22.
  • Each rail 17 and each carrier 22 is assigned a chain lock 26 per chain 25.
  • the separate design and articulation of the rails 17 and carrier 22 ensures that in the deflection area of the chains 25 running over chain wheels 29, relatively little swivel space is required compared to a one-piece magazine design.
  • the required distance between the magazine 11 a in the filling position and the feed device 9 can be reduced.
  • the diameter of the feed-side sprockets 29 is chosen to be as small as possible.
  • the diameter of the opposite front sprockets 29 is freely selectable and can therefore be used approved speed ratio or reduction are adjusted. It is therefore expedient not to drive the front sprockets on the supply side, but rather the opposite ones.
  • the stops 20 and 21 can be controlled in such a way that they rest on the crawlers 25 during the deflection process.
  • the relevant bearing blocks 28 are pivotally received on the associated chain lock bolt 27 and connected with the aid of at least one control lug 30 to the bearing blocks 28 of the preceding rear stop 21, which are arranged in a rotationally secure manner and which belongs to the respective preceding magazine.
  • the bearing tabs 30 engaging outside the pivot bearing cause the normally radially projecting leg of the angle plate 23 to pivot toward the chains 25 or chain wheels 29, as FIG. 2 clearly shows.
  • the higher stops 21 therefore also come with a swiveling space sufficient for the lower stops 21.
  • guide strips 31 are provided in the area between the rear and front sprockets 29, which are encompassed by the side link plates. In order to relieve the chains and to bring about an orderly run-up of the chains on the guide strips 31, their ends engage in the chain wheels 29, which, as shown in FIG. 3, are provided with corresponding recesses 32.
  • the front sprockets driven here are, as can further be seen in FIG. 3, received on a shaft 33 which is continuous over the width of the machine and has its ends supported in the side walls and which in turn is driven by a single-speed shaft which does not show the machine cycle here.
  • the shaft 33 can be coupled to a drive wheel 34, which is designed here as a chain wheel and is in engagement with a chain 35 that can be driven by the single-speed shaft.
  • the drive wheel 34 is freely rotatably mounted on the shaft 33 and can be coupled to it by means of a free-wheel clutch 36 containing register. This is designed as an electromagnetic clutch provided with a register element, which is controlled by a counter, not shown here, which is designed as a preselection counter.
  • the one-way clutch 36 is activated after a certain number of revolutions of the single-speed shaft and the shaft 33 takes in the range of a certain crank angle of the single-speed shaft, whereby the paternoster-like magazines 11 a to 11 f are moved one step further.
  • the width of which corresponds to a certain crank angle of the single-speed shaft There are naturally small gaps between the strips transferred from the feeder 4 to the cutting station 1, the width of which corresponds to a certain crank angle of the single-speed shaft.
  • the ratio or reduction provided when driving the transport device assigned to the magazines from the single-turn shaft is selected such that the chains 25 forming the transport device here cover the distance between the magazines 11 a and 11 11 b clarify working positions at least within the same crank angle of the single-turn shaft.
