Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device, in particular for folded products with transport means which are movable in the transport plane on guides and on which holders are arranged which engage from the side under the fold back of the folded products to be guided.
  • transport means which are movable in the transport plane on guides and on which holders are arranged which engage from the side under the fold back of the folded products to be guided.
  • DE-PS 34 27 559 it is known, for example, to arrange a circumferential endless transport device for taking over and further transporting folded products from a pair of folding jaws-folding knife cylinders. Carriers are attached to the transport device at a predetermined distance from one another, which engage from the side into the wedge-shaped area between the folding knife-folding jaw cylinder and thus, after the folding products have been taken over, each guide them below the fold back. Storage of the folded products carried out in this way requires their transfer to a storage system, as is known, for example, from DE-OS 34 27 558.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a transport device of the type described in the introduction in such a way that it also enables the folded products to be stored in a narrow space without the transport device necessarily having to be left, the folded products being held in defined positions during storage.
  • This object is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims and from the description in connection with the drawings.
  • transport and storage device is particularly suitable for the further processing of folded products
  • its use is also possible in the processing or further processing of sheet-like objects which form a V-shaped structure, for example by placing two sheets or two boxes or two sheets along one Side connected to each other, for example glued or welded.
  • an elastic conveyor belt for example a steel belt, is used as the transport means, on which elastic carriers 2 are preferably arranged at a distance from one another transversely to the transport device (see FIG. 3).
  • the conveyor belt 1 is drawn off from a supply roll 3 in the direction of the arrow 4 in order to take over folding products 6 which occur in the area 5 in a scale-like manner.
  • these folding products 6 are delivered in a tactical manner by a transport chain 7 by means of carrying brackets 8 fastened to them.
  • a delivery or transport device is known from the aforementioned DE-PS 34 27 559.
  • the device according to the invention is therefore suitable both for transporting and for storing folded products in a small space without a system change, i.e. a transfer from a special transport system to a special storage system is required.
  • the conveyor belt 1 is formed into a storage roll 9 by the storage roll 9 rotating, so that the transport belt 1 together with the folded products guided on it or on the carriers 2 is wound up.
  • the defined guidance or mounting of each folded product 6 on a carrier 2 ensures that it is always secured in predetermined positions. It may be expedient to guide the conveyor belt 1 in guide rails 10 at least in front of the store, here the store roll 9. In the storage roll 9 itself there is no need for a separate arrangement of such guide rails 10, since the lower layer practically provides a guide for the conveyor belt 1.
  • the conveyor belt 1 and preferably also the carrier 2 consist of flexible steel strip. This requires this Support the carrier during and after the takeover of the folded products 6 by the guide rails 10 and 11.
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment for the takeover and delivery of the folded products, which could for example be arranged in front of and behind a linear storage section.
  • the beams 2 are fastened by spot welding, which in turn carry the tongues 13 'or 13 "which can be pivoted about pivot points 12' or 12".
  • the elements arranged on the left and right sides are designated with the same reference number, but provided with one or two apostrophes for differentiation.
  • the tongues 13 ', 13 are opened or closed in their respective end positions by latching points 14' or 14" and 15 'or 15 ". In the lower region of FIG. 3, the tongues 13', 13" come in the opened state ready to take over the folded products 6.
  • FIG. 3 shows how the folded products 6 can be released again if further processing is to take place after storage in a memory not shown in FIG. 3.
  • the closed tongues 13 ', 13 In the transport direction shown by the arrow 4, the closed tongues 13 ', 13 "come into the area of the chains 18' or 18" rotating in the arrow directions 17 'or 17 ". Since their peripheral speed is greater than the speed of travel of the conveyor belt 1 , pins 19 'or 19 "fastened on them can grasp the tongues 13' or 13" in a tactical fashion and press them into the end position "open” 14 'or 14 ", the folded products 6 being dispensed.
  • the transfer or delivery of folded products is achieved by the corresponding curvature of the conveyor belts 24 'or 24 "made of steel belts by the rails 26' or 26" and the drivers 22 'or 25 “by the rails 24 'or 27 “on the one hand and by the warping of the folded products by bands 29, 30 on the other hand.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show the same design as in FIGS. 8 and 9, a special design of drivers 31 ', 31 ". They consist of plates placed on the conveyor belts 24', 24", the pins 32 'and 32 ". With this design it is possible to hang the folded products 6 suspended on the pins 32 ', 32" when the folded product roll 9 is unrolled as shown in FIG. 12 in the direction of the arrows 33 with simultaneous deflection around a roller 34 using the To turn gravity, so that even after unwinding the folded products 6 from the storage roll 9, these can be transported with the folding back leading.
  • the deflection of the folded products 6 is supported by a driven ribbon cable 35 which is approximately V-shaped and which at the same time serves to absorb the centrifugal forces which can arise at the free ends of the folded products.
  • a driven ribbon cable 35 which is approximately V-shaped and which at the same time serves to absorb the centrifugal forces which can arise at the free ends of the folded products.
  • FIG. 17 shows one possibility of using the scale in a linear transport or storage technology.
  • the folded products 6 are, for example, first conveyed with the folded back 36 in the direction of the arrow 44, wherein they are supported by a sliding plate 42. During transport in the opposite direction 45, the folded products 6 are then turned over in the suitable shape under the influence of gravity when they run onto the sliding plate 43.
  • FIGS. 13 to 16 show a possibility of connecting individual support elements to an arbitrarily long transport system by "push button technology”.
  • 4 bolts 39 are welded onto the support elements 38 in their lower region, while the upper part of the elements 4 corresponding counterbores 40 carries.
  • support elements 38 for example, are removed from a magazine, cyclically passed between two pressure rollers and thus connected to one another in the manner shown in FIGS. 13 and 14.
  • the elements can also be detached from one another and fed to a magazine.
  • FIG. 15 shows an enlarged section of FIG. 14 before the connection and FIG. 16 after the connection.
  • a cycle wheel can engage in the bores 41 during the cyclical advance.
  • a type of toothing or holes in a rectangular shape are also suitable.
  • FIGS. 18 and 19 show, in addition to the possibility according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 of producing a special storage coil, a storage device in linear form.
  • a finite conveyor belt 47 is required, which can be constructed in each case in the manner of the belts 1, 20 and 24 described above, or can be produced in the push button technique shown in FIGS. 13 to 16.
  • the partial scales are drawn in the direction of arrow 49 onto sliding plates 46 and deposited here. If necessary, they are removed in the direction of arrow 48 and fed to the further processing with the fold back 36 in advance.
  • folded products 6 can be stored in a linear storage section that hangs vertically or is suspended.
  • linear storage sections can be arranged side by side both horizontally and vertically, so that folded products can be stored in large quantities in a very small space.
