Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for conveying flat products, in particular printed products, according to the preamble of claim 1 and 14, and to an individually controllable gripper for detecting flat products, in particular printed products, according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • Such a device is known from CH-PS 637 091 and the corresponding US-PS 4,333,559.
  • the conveying device has a deflection wheel arranged above the feed conveyor, around which a pulling element is guided, on which grippers are provided one behind the other in the conveying direction.
  • Each gripper has an upper fixed jaw and a lower movable jaw. The grippers brought up to the scale formation from above each grip a pair of products lying one above the other in the area of their leading edges with their clamping jaws and conveys it away.
  • the conveying direction of the conveyor is essentially parallel to the conveying direction of the feed conveyor in the takeover area.
  • the feed conveyor transports the products essentially in a horizontal direction, while the conveying direction of the conveyor runs from bottom to top.
  • the conveying device has individually controllable grippers which are arranged on a pulling element and, in a takeover area, grip the products fed by the feed conveyor at the leading edges and lift them upwards from the scale formation. The scale formation is thus peeled off.
  • the conveying speed of the conveying device is half as high as the feeding speed of the feed conveyor, two products lying one above the other come into engagement with a gripper, so that two superposed products are lifted off each other.
  • each individual product is gripped by a gripper and peeled off from the scale formation, or two products are pushed over each other, so that each gripper grabs two products lying one above the other and promoted away.
  • a gripper is also to be created which is particularly suitable for this device.
  • the leading edges of the products lying one above the other in pairs are lifted from one another and a single product is fed to each gripper of the conveyor. Since the conveying direction of the conveying device extends transversely to the conveying plane and from the underside of the products upwards, the products lying one above the other in pairs can be introduced into the grippers of the conveying device without being displaced in the conveying direction of the feed conveyor. The products thus captured are lifted upwards from the supplied scale formation or, in other words, peeled off from the scale formation.
  • the separating device has a separating member which bends down the region of the leading edge of the product lying below in each case about an axis running essentially parallel to the conveying plane and transversely to the conveying direction of the feed conveyor.
  • the separating member has a rotatably driven suction roller provided with openings distributed around the circumference, which is connected to a vacuum source or can be periodically connected. The bottom of the the product lying at the bottom comes to rest on the circumference of the suction roller and is pulled by it to the suction roller, so that the leading edge of this product separates from the leading edge of the product above.
  • the underlying product can be detached from the suction roller by interrupting the connection between the suction roller and the vacuum source or by, for example, a wiping element lifting this product off the suction roller.
  • the separating device has a bending element which bends the product located below in a wave shape downwards.
  • the leading edges of the superimposed products are separated from one another in the region in which the grippers grip these products, while the other regions can abut one another. This means that even products with very low rigidity can be removed and peeled off individually from the scale formation.
  • the safe feeding of one product at a time to a gripper of the conveying device is ensured in a simple manner by designing the device according to claim 9. If the towing connection between individual grippers is formed by an elastically shortenable and extendable spring element, the distance between adjacent grippers being set to a fixed dimension in the takeover area by means of an inhibiting element, phase differences between the takeover of the products in the takeover area and the delivery in a downstream thereof Transfer area can be compensated without changing the conveying speed of the feed conveyor.
  • the device specified in claims 1 to 13 can also be used for conveying scale formations in which one product rests on the next one, whereby all products are influenced by the separating device and fed to the grippers of the conveyor, or the mode of operation of the separating device is switched off , for example by breaking the connection between the suction roll or the recesses in the endless belt with the vacuum source.
  • a device which is particularly suitable for such scale formations is specified in claim 14. If at least one gripper jaw of one gripper bears against a gripper jaw of the adjacent gripper when the grippers are open in the take-over area, it can be ensured that all supplied products are gripped by a gripper and transported away, since there is no space between the gripper jaws in which products are mistakenly located could be introduced.
  • Grippers designed in this way are preferably also used in the device according to one of claims 1 to 13.
  • FIG. 1 shows a take-over area of a device with a feed conveyor 10 and a removal conveyor 20, in which printed products 12, 14 fed in a scale formation S from a feed conveyor 10 are individually gripped and transported away by grippers 18 of a removal conveyor 20 in the region of their leading edges 16.

A printed product 12 is thus gripped by each gripper 18 and peeled off from the scale formation S. In the open position, the fingers 66 of a gripper 18 each rest on the clamping jaw 68 of the preceding gripper 18, so that no space between adjacent grippers 18 remains free in this area of the takeover area and the supplied printed egg products 12 are securely introduced into the grippers 18.
  • the conveying speed of the away conveyor 20 is adapted to the conveying speed of the feed conveyor 10 and the distance between leading edges 16 in the scale formation S.
