Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to apparatus and methods for feeding articles such as blanks or boards or sheets successively along a horizontal path to a machine such as a box making machine, in which various operations are performed, for example, printing, cutting, slotting, folding, glueing, etc.
  • the present invention relates to methods and apparatus particularly adaptable for successively feeding boards or sheets to a pair of nip rolls which then feed the boards to stations where the various above-indicated operations are performed.
  • a "kicker feed” utilizes a reciprocating pusher bar which engages the rear or trailing edge of a board and pushes the board to the nip rolls. Once the board is engaged by the nip rolls, the pusher bar is returned to its starting position to engage the next board and push it to the nip rolls.
  • the pusher bar is reciprocated through a rccker shaft which is driven from the main power source of the machine. Examples of such kicker feed mechanisms are disclosed in United States Patent Specificatons Nos. 3,392,973; 3,588,093 and 3,588,095.
  • a kicker feed mechanism has the advantage of being driven through a rocker shaft system which is relatively inexpensive, reliable and capable of providing high torque outputs as may be needed, it is thought by some to possess certain problems from the standpoint of safety and operation.
  • the kicker bar or pusher must be carefully controlled in order to squarely feed a blank or board in proper registry with the nip rolls.
  • the trailing edge of the blank or board being fed must be carefully controlled to ensure proper engagement with the feed lips of the kicker bar.
  • the blank or board or sheet is warped, it may become jammed due to the rear edge feed. Additionally, thin or low-strength sheets may not be able to withstand the column loading applied by the kicker bar.
  • rotary-type feeders are disclosed in United States Patent Specifications Nos. 4,363,478; 4,045,015; 976,640 and 978,702.
  • a sheet or board is engaged by underlying rotating feed members or endless belts and is fed thereby to the nip rolls adjacent the leading edge area of the sheet or board.
  • Such feeding obviates the rear edge feeding problems of kicker feeds while also utilizing a simple vacuum system to hold a sheet or board down on the feed members or belts.
  • apparatus for feeding articles which are stacked behind a gate and wherein the articles are individually fed under the gate along a generally horizontal path is characterised by feed members movable in a first direction generally along said path to engage and feed an article in a forward direction under said gate and along said path, and movable in a second direction opposite to said first direction for urging an article away from said gate prior to movement of the article under the gate, and means for driving said feed members in both of said first and second directions, said feed members having surfaces frictionally engageable with the underside of an article to move the article along said path upon movement of said surfaces.
  • Such apparatus for feeding articles to a pair of nip rolls for conveying articles along said path is characterised in that said feed members are mounted in a vacuum box having an apertured upper surface along said path upstream of said nip rolls, said gate being positioned above the vacuum box upstream of the nip rolls for containing the leading edges of articles to be fed under the gate to the nip rolls, and by a grate mounted in the vacuum box for vertical movement above and below said path, whereby said feed members can engage and feed an article in said forward direction under said gate and to said nip rolls when the grate is in a lowered position below surfaces of the feed members, and can urge an article away from said gate prior to movement of the article under the gate when the grate is in said lowered position.
  • feeder apparatus for use in a box-making machine or the like including a generally horizontal path of conveyance and a pair of nip rolls for conveying sheet-like articles along said path is characterised by a vacuum
  • a method of feeding sheet-like articles to a box-making machine or the like with feeding apparatus including a gate for containing the leading edges of a stack of articles prior to being fed, and a plurality of feed members under the stack for engaging and feeding the articles under the gate, characterised by the steps of moving the feed members in a first direction to feed the lowermost article in the stack under the gate, moving the feed members in a second direction opposite to said first direction to move the lowermost article away from the gate to relieve pressure on the gate to prevent jamming of the article against the gate.
  • the present invention can provide apparatus and methods for feeding articles such as blanks, sheets or boards such as for example, to a box-making machine and which overcome the above-noted problems and/or limitations of feeder mechanisms and methods of the prior art.
  • An embodiment of the present invention in the form of a rotary-type feeder mechanism for feeding articles such as boards, sheets or blanks, can be easily incorporated into new or existing conventional box-making machinery.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention includes feed members which may be feed wheels, rolls or endless belts that are driven from an oscillating rocker shaft and gearing including a rocker gear connecting the rocker shaft to a gear train that drives the feed members in one of two opposite directions by frictional engagement to nip rolls, to feed sheet or board articles resting thereon.
  • the articles are successively fed from the bottom of a stack overyling the feed members behind a gate.
  • a grate is provided between the feed members for lowering the lowermost article in the stack onto the feed members for feeding and for raising the article from the feed members after the article is received in the nip rolls.
  • the feed members are mounted in the upper portion of a vacuum box which supplies a vacuum to hold the articles on the feed members in proper position. The vacuum is also utilized to hold the boards with sufficient force to produce the necessary friction between the boards and the feed members to feeding.
  • the direction of the feed members is reversed and the grate is lowered to engage the next lowermost article in tne stack.
  • the reverse direction of the feed members while the article is resting thereon occurs for only a short duration sufficient to relieve the pressure on the gate exerted by the lowermost article to thereby avoid jamming of the article.
  • the direction of the feed members is then reversed to feed the article to the nip rolls after which the cycle is repeated.
  • the grate is raised and lowered in the desired timed sequences by means of shafts that are operatively connected to the grate to drive them up and down upon oscillation of the shafts.
  • Such oscillation is achieved by a cam and cam follower assembly driven from gearing including a crank gear that is also employed to oscillate the rocker shaft through a linkage or a quick return slide mechanism.
  • the cam which controls the cam follower has a high dwell surface engageable by the cam follower to determine the raised position of the grate above the upper surfaces of the feed members and a low dwell surface engageable by the cam follower to determine the lowered position of the grate below the upper surfaces of the feed members.
  • the crank gear may be driven from the main power source of the associated machine and in the preferred embodiment, this drive is taken from one of the nip rolls.
  • the grate may be held above the feed members to interrupt the feeding operation by a latch device.
  • this latch device includes an aperture in a lever which holds the cam follower employed to oscillate the grate actuating shafts as described above.
  • the latch device further includes a pin which is actuated such as by a small air cylinder into the aperture when the cam follower engages the high dwell surface of the cam which surface determines the raised position of the grate above the upper surface of the feed members as described above.
  • the air cylinder is actuated to retract the pin from the aperture in the cam follower lever thereby freeing the latter for normal operation.
  • Fig.l there is disclosed apparatus embodying the invention for feeding paperboard blanks such as corrugated blanks or sheets, generally designated b, one-by-one to the nip of feed rolls 18 suitably mounted in a main frame 6 which forms part of box-making machinery including other mechanisms for printing, cutting, slotting, folding or glueing and the like, which are not shown.
  • the boards b are, of course, flat, and are stacked one on top of another in a suitable hopper with the lowermost board resting on a feed surface 36a which extends horizontally in the plane between the feed rolls 18.
  • the forwardmost edges of the boards are positioned by one or more gate members 32 (one shown) and by a trailing edge support generally designated 46 having a lower ledge on which the rearmost edges rest.
  • the gates 32 and the trailing edge support 46 are adjustable in the lengthwise direction of the machine to accommodate boards of different lengths. Additionally, they are adjustable in vertical planes so as to precisely set the distance between the lowermost edge of the gate 32 and the feed surface 36a. Additionally, vertical adjustability of the trailing edge support 46 is employed to compensate for warpage occurring in any of the boards.
  • the feed surface 36a is formed by the upper surface of a vacuum box 36 which encloses a vacuum chamber in which a vacuum is created by any suitable source of vacuum which is connected by means of a duct 40 which communicates with the vacuum chamber through apertures 37 formed in the bottom wall of the vacuum box 36 as best shown in Fig.3.
  • the boards b are fed one-by-one across the feed surface 36a and into the nip of the feed rolls 18 by means of a plurality of driven feed wheels generally designated 51 mounted for rotation in the vacuum chamber of the vacuum box 36 on shafts 50 which are journalled for rotation in opposite end frame members 34 (see Fig.3).
  • a plurality of driven feed wheels generally designated 51 mounted for rotation in the vacuum chamber of the vacuum box 36 on shafts 50 which are journalled for rotation in opposite end frame members 34 (see Fig.3).
  • there are three rows of feed wheels 51 extending transversely of the longitudinal or feeding direction of the machine with each row containing ten feed wheels (not all of which are shown) and with the feed wheels in adjacent rows being aligned with each other in the longitudinal or feeding direction of the machine.
  • the feed wheel shafts 50 run parallel to each other and are equally spaced from each other, and the feed wheels in each of the rows are uniformly spaced from each other.
  • feed wheel shafts 50 are geared to rotate in opposite directions to drive the feed wheels in forward or reverse directions for a purpose to be described below.
  • feed wheels 51 are provided with a high friction outer cylindrical surface 51a formed from any suitable material such as rubber or urethane so that the coefficient of friction between the feed wheel surfaces and the boards b will be in the range of 0.7 to 1.0.
  • the friction surface 51a may be provided on aluminium hubs 51b, or any other suitable construction may be employed.
  • the grate includes a plurality of vertical ribs 56 formed by plate-like structures of any suitable material, such as steel, which extend parallel to each other between the feed wheels 51 in the longitudinal or feeding direction of the machine. Extending between and fixed to the ribs 56 are a plurality of rod members 55 which are recessed slightly downwardly from the upper surface of the ribs 56 as best shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
  • the grate 55, 56 is mounted and actuated up and down in the vertical direction at the desired time by means of preferably to elongated shafts 52 and 52a which extend transversely of the machine through the vacuum box 36 below the level of the feed wheels and which are journalled at their opposite ends in the frame members 34 at opposite sides of the machine.
  • Shafts 52 and 52a each include mounting lugs 58 fixed thereto and having pins 57 receivable in apertures 53 in depending leg portions of certain grate ribs 56 as -best shown in Fig.2.
  • shafts 52 and 52a are rotatable in small amounts in opposite directions in order to realise or lower the grate 55, 56.
  • the grate 55, 56 When the grate 55, 56 is in its lowered position shown in Fig.l, the upper surface of the grate is below the upper surfaces 51a of the feed wheels which are thus able to contact the underside of the lowermost board b to drive it by friction.
  • the grate When the grate is in its raised position, which occurs after the lowermost board b is engaged and driven by the nip rolls 18, its upper surface is above the upper surfaces 51a of the feed wheels whereby the lowermost board b is out of contact with the feed. wheels.
  • the vacuum box 36 with the feed wheels, grate and grate mounting and actuating means, and the side frame members 34 may be installed as-a unit into an existing machine or, of course, incorporated in a new machine. Referring to Fig.l, such installation is effected by mounting the frame members 34 onto cross-frame members 8 of the existing machine by means of struts 35 fixed to and between frame members 34 and cross-frame members 8. Cross-frame members 8 are fixed in the main frame 6 which is shown in Fig.l.
  • feed wheels 51 are driven in opposite rotative directions about the axes of their shafts 50 by mechanism including a plurality of wheel gears 70 fixed to shafts 50 on one of the ends thereof located outwardly of frame 34 (see Fig.3).
  • Two of the wheel gears 70 are in mesh with a much larger gear 74 to be driven thereby while the remaining wheel gear 70 is driven by means of an idler gear 72 in mesh with two of the wheel gears 70 as shown in the right-hand side of Fig.4.
  • rocker gear 74 is mounted at its centre or axis 85 on a pivot shaft 86 which is journalled in frame 34.
  • Rocker gear 74 is rotatably oscillated about its axis 85 by means of a rocker shaft 10 and a linkage operatively interconnecting rocker shaft 10 and rocker gear 74.
  • a mechanism is employed which is the equivalent of a four-bar linkage, the mecahanism including a rocker arm 81 fixed to and projecting from a sleeve 81a which, in turn, is mounted about rocker shaft 10 and fixed thereto by means of a key 82 as best shown in Fig.4.
  • the mechanism further includes a connecting link 80 pivotally connected at one end at pivot 83 to the rocker arm 81 and pivotally mounted at its opposite end by pivot 84 to the rocker gear 74 at a location offset from the axis 85 of the rocker gear 74 as best shown in Fig.4.
  • This action of the feed wheels 51 and their actuation through the linkage and the rocker shaft is to be contrasted with conventional feed wheels that are driven in one rotative direction by a geneva or indexing drive.
  • the feed wheels 50 upon rotation of rocker shaft 10 in one direction, the feed wheels 50 will be rotated in one direction, and upon rotation of the rocker shaft 10 in the opposite direction, feed wheels 50 will be rotated in the opposite direction.
  • the forward rotational direction of the feed wheels 51 is, of course, utilized to drive the boards b to the nip rolls 18 when the grate is in its lower position.
  • the reverse or rearward rotational direction of the feed wheels 51 is utilized to urge the lowermost board b away from the gate 32 to relieve pressure against the gate 32 and prevent jamming. This latter action occurs at the end of tae reverse rotation phase of the feed wheels when the grate is lowered and just prior to the forward rotational phase of the feed wneels 51 which serves to feed the lowermost board b to the nip rolls 18.
  • rocker shaft 10 is driven by means of a crank gear 16 which in turn is driven by a gear 20 which, in turn, is driven from the main drive of the associated box-making machinery (not shown).
  • Gear 20 is fixed to the shaft of one of the feed rolls 18 while being in mesh with another feed roll gear 20a which is fixed to the shaft of the other feed roll 18, whereby feed rolls 18 are driven in counterdirections for feeding the boards b into box-making machinery.
  • Crank gear 16 drives rocker shaft 10 in oscillation by means of a mechanism which amounts to a four-bar linkage including a first link generally designated 12 which may be termed a "feed lever" having a passage therein receiving rocker shaft 10 and being fixed thereto through means of a key 1.
  • the mechanism further includes a connecting link 14 having one end pivotally connected by a pivot 3 and having its opposite end pivotally connected by a pivot 22 to the crank gear 16 at a location offset from the axis of rotation 24 of the crank gear 16. It will therefore be seen that rotation of the crank gear 16 by feed roll gear 20 will cause rocker shaft 10 to oscillate by means of the linkage mechanism including links 12 and 14.
  • the rocker shaft 10 may be driven by a quick return slider crank instead of the linkage 12, 14 described above.
  • this mechanism includes a slider 12a keyed to rocker shaft 10 and having an elongated slot 12b receiving a block 13 pivoted to crank gear 16 to slide in slot 12b.
  • Block 13 is, of course, mounted on crank gear 16 at a location offset from the centre 24 of crank gear 16. It will be seen that rotation of crank gear 16 will function to oscillate rocker shaft 10 by virtue of the action of the slide 12a.
  • shafts 52 and 52a are rotatably oscillated in small increments in order to raise and lower the grate 55, 56 and such action is achieved through a cam follower lever 100, 94 and a cam 90 which is driven by a gear 26 (see Fig.2) which, in turn, is driven by a gear 23 that is fixed concentrically to the inner surface of crank gear 16 so as to be rotatable therewith.
  • Cam 90 is fixed to a shaft 30 which is journalled in the frame member 34 and which is fixed to gear 26 at the centre axis thereof so as to be driven thereby.
  • cam 90 has a circumferential surface portion 92 which may be termed “the high-dwell surface” and a shorter circumferential surface portion 91 which may be termed “the low-dwell surface” extending between the high-dwell surface 90 with transitional surface portions extending tnerebetween for the extent of the angled.
  • the cam follower lever includes a dog leg portion 100 having a hub receiving the end of shaft 52 to which it is suitably keyed for movement therewith.
  • One side of dog lever 100 has a cam follower or roller 94 which engages on the surface of cam 90.
  • the other shaft 52a is operatively connected to be oscillated in small increments in unison with shaft 52 by means of a link 104, whose opposite ends are pivotally connected by pivots 104a to the dog leg lever 100 and to a follower lever 106 fixed to shaft 52a by means of a hub received about shaft 52 and keyed thereto in any suitable manner.
  • cam follower 94 engages the nigh-dwell surface 90
  • the grate will be at rest in an elevated position and when the cam follower 94 engages the low-dwell surface 91, the grate will be at rest in a depressed or lowered position.
  • the cam follower surface 94 engages the transition surface enclosed by the angler, that is, between the high-dwell and low-dwell surfaces 90 and 91
  • the cam follower will be lowered or raised depending on the particular transition surface engaged which, in turn, will slightly rotate the dog leg lever 100 and, in turn, the associated shafr 52 to actuate the grate 55 and 56.
  • Dog leg lever 100 Motion of the dog leg lever 100 is transmitted to the adjacent shaft 52a by means of the link 104 and follower lever 106 to rotate shaft 52a in unison with shaft 52.
  • dog lever 100, link 104 and follower lever 106 act as a parallelogram linkage with the pivots of the parallelogram linkage lying at 52, 104a and 52a.
  • cam follower 94 is urged onto the surface of cam 90 by a spring mechanism including a coil compression spring 110 having one end bearing against a block 112 fixed to the frame 34 and having an opposite end bearing against a nut and washer assembly 111 received on a rod 114 which extends through tne axis of the coil spring 110 and through the block 112 after which it is pivotally connected by pivot 116 to the dog leg lever 100 as shown in Fig.5.
  • spring 110 urges the rod 114 in the direction to impose a clockwise (as viewed in Fig.5) bias on dog leg lever 100 which, of course, urges cam follower roller 94 into engagement with the surface of cam 90.
  • a latch mechanism is provided.
  • the latch mechanism includes an aperture 126 formed in the lower leg portion of dog leg lever 100 for receiving a pin 122 that is mounted for reciprocal movement in a housing 120 fixed in the frame 34.
  • Housing 120 has an elongated passage receiving a rod 124 of an air cylinder 125 with the pin 122 being fixed to the extremity of the rod 124.
  • Fig.6 shows two graphs which illustrate the relationship of the velocity of the feed wheels 51 to the position of the grate 55, 56 throughout a full cycle of operation.
  • the upper graph shows the relationship of rocker shaft (10) velocity versus crank gear (16) angle while the lower graph shows grate level versus the crank gear angle.
  • the solid lines in the graphs refer to the embodiment of Figs. 1 to 5, utilizing a four-bar linkage to drive the rocker shaft 10 while the dotted lines refer to the embodiment which utilizes a quick return slider crank as shown in Fig.7 to drive the rocker shaft 10.
  • the contact period shown in the graphs refers to the phase when a board b is contacting the feed wheels 51.
  • the smaller portion of the contact period occurs when the feed members 51 are rotating in a reverse direction which is utilized, as indicated above, to relieve the pressure of the board b against the gate 32. That is to say that the positive velocity values depicted on the graph refer to rotation of the feed wheels 51 in the forward or board-feeding direction, while the negative velocity values refer to the rotation of the feed wheels in the reverse direction. Additionally, the positive values for the grate level refer to when the grate is above the surface of the feed wheels 51 while the negative values refer to when the grate is below the surface of the feed wheels.
  • the grate rises above the surface of the feed wheels 51 after which the grate reaches its uppermost level as the feed wheels decelerate and the board is being conveyed by the nip rolls 18 off the surface of the grate.
  • the grate remains in its elevated position when the velocity of the feed wheels 51 changes from positive to negative (when the direction of the feed wheels 51 is reversed).
  • the grate begins to lower until the next board to be fed engages the feed wheels 51 at a very low negative velocity at which time the reversing feed wheels function to urge the board away from the gate 32 to relieve pressure until the feed wheels come to zero velocity and then rotate in the forward direction to drive the board toward the nip rolls 18.
  • the above cycle is then repeated.
  • the board is displaced the distance from gate 32 to the nip rolls 18 to arrive at the same velocity as the nip rolls by virtue of the proper selection of the four bar linkage and gear ratio shown in Fig.4 as described above.
  • the grate is lowered and raised at the appropriate time as described above and this timing is governed by the length of the low-dwell surface 91 and the extent of transition angler which are selected accordingly.
  • the air cylinder 125 (Figs. 5 and 5a) need only be actuated to extend latch pin 122 into aperture 126 of cam follower lever 100 which will thus hold the grate in the elevated position.
  • the air cylinder is actuated to retract latch pin 122 from the cam follower lever 100 during the same relatively long phase when the grate is elevated.
  • the illustrated feeding mechanism not only employs a conventional rocker shaft to drive-the feed wheels in two opposite directions, but also may be easily adjusted to various new or existing box-making machine drives to provide the desired timing, sequencing and torques by substituting different size linkages between the rocker shaft 10 and the rocker gear 74 or between the crank gear 16 and the rocker shaft 10.
  • This is an advantage over the indexing or geneva drive systems heretofore employed with rotary feeders, which systems are more complex and require the substitution of different gears or gear arrangements in order to adapt to different drive systems.
  • the rocker shaft drive utilized in the illustrated embodiment will provide sufficient torque capacity to enable larger surfaces to be utilized on the feed wheels 51 to increase speed and accuracy of feeding.
