Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for the automatic feeding, document by document, of a document processing machine.
  • a device finds more particularly, although not exclusively, its application in the successive supply of sheets of paper intended to be printed by a fast printing machine.
  • Printing machines which previously operated at a printing rate of fifteen to twenty sheets per minute were generally equipped with feed trays which could hold up to two thousand sheets. This allowed these machines to operate, without recharging, for almost two hours.
  • each feeding magazine is necessarily provided, not only with an electromechanical extraction member established to be controlled at well-defined times, but also with precise guide elements which allow the sheets extracted from the store to be oriented towards a common advancement track to then be routed to the printing device. It follows that if, in order to reduce the number of machine stops without increasing the capacity in magazine sheets, this type of feeder was produced comprising a large number of magazines, this number being, for example, example, close to ten, such an apparatus would prove to be particularly expensive and of delicate manufacture, due to the large number of extraction members and guide elements included in its composition.
  • a feeding device which has been described in the patent of the United States of America No. 4,108,427 and which comprises a plurality of feeding magazines arranged horizontally, one above the other, but offset by a constant quantity, with respect to each other, so that each magazine has an uncovered portion in which an electromechanical sheet extraction member can be engaged.
  • the food stores are integral with a transport cart which can be moved in a direction parallel to the offset direction of these stores in order to allow any of these stores to be brought into a unloading location in which the stack of sheets which is stored in this magazine is in contact with the electromechanical extraction member.
  • the movement of the transport carriage is achieved by means of a very complex set of shafts, cams and articulated levers which, during the manufacture of the device, must be machined and assembled with a very high precision if we want to avoid that, during the movement of the carriage, the sheets contained in the various stores are not torn, or even simply crumpled, as a result of unfortunate contact of these sheets with the extraction member .
  • the manufacture of such a device can only be undertaken using specialized tools and highly qualified people, so that this device ultimately turns out to be particularly expensive.
  • the movement of the carriage to bring a magazine into the unloading location is carried out relatively slowly, so that this device is not suitable for feeding sheets intended for a fast printer.
  • this device does not include any control means allowing a store, chosen in advance by the operator, to be brought, automatically, to the unloading location.
  • the present invention overcomes all these drawbacks and proposes an automatic document-by-document feeding device which, although comprising a relatively large number of document feeding magazines and a single extraction device, makes it possible to deliver documents. at a rate compatible with the rate of operation of the processing machine to which these documents are delivered, the placement of any of these stores in the unloading location being effected quickly, fully automatically, without causing damage to documents and without the need to stop the processing machine.
  • FIG. 1 shows a feeder 10 which, according to the invention, can be used to deliver documents to a wide variety of document processing machines.
  • this processing machine is a magnetographic printer 11 which performs the printing of sheets of paper delivered one by one by the feeder 10.
  • this feeder could just as easily be adapted to deliver documents to a document processing machine of another type, such as, for example, a check sorter or a card reader provided with identifiable indications by an automatic recognition device.
  • the feeding apparatus 10 which is shown in FIG. 1 comprises several feeding magazines C1, C2, C3, etc., each containing a stack of sheets of paper, these sheets being intended to be printed by the printer 11.
  • These stores which are eight in number here, are integral with a circular plate 12 which, arranged horizontally, is pivotally mounted on a vertical axis of rotation 13, this axis 13 being itself fixed, as the shows Figure 2, on a horizontal support plate 14 forming part of the frame of the device.
  • the circular plate 12 is provided with a ring gear 15 which is fixed under the circular edge 21 of this plate and which meshes with a pinion 16 secured to the drive shaft of an electric motor 28.
  • the pinion 16 rotates and drives the crown 15 and the plate 12 in rotation about the axis 13.
  • the food stores C1, C2, ..., C8 are regularly arranged along the circular edge of the plate 12.
  • the stores C1, C2, C4, C5, C6 and C8 are all identical and intended to contain sheets of paper whose format corresponds to the well-known standard DIN A4, while the magazines C3 and C7, which are identical, but larger than those of the magazines C1, C2, C4, C5 , C6 and C8, are intended to contain sheets of paper whose format corresponds to the DIN A3 standard.
  • Each of these stores has a vertical plane of symmetry which passes through the axis of rotation 13 of the plate 12.
  • FIG. 1 shows the planes of symmetry AA ′ and BB ′ of the two stores neighbors C1 and C2. Since, in the example described, the number of food stores is equal to eight, the planes of symmetry of any two neighboring stores form between them angles of forty-five degrees.
  • This machine is provided with an inlet passage 100 through which the sheets delivered by the supply device 10 are engaged in the machine.
  • This corridor input 100 which normally includes elements for guiding and driving sheets (not shown) has a vertical plane of symmetry MM ′, the supply device 10 and the printing machine 11 being arranged, one by relative to the other, so that this plane MM ′ passes through the axis of rotation 13 of the plate 12, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the store C1 has two vertical plates 17 and 18 which, fixed on the circular plate 12, are symmetrical to one another with respect to the plane of symmetry AA ′ of this store. These two plates are spaced from each other by a distance d which is slightly greater than the length of the sheets of A4 paper.
  • Two slides 19 and 20, fixed on the vertical edges of the plates 17 and 18 furthest from the circular edge 21 of the plate 12, are intended to guide a stack of sheets which has been placed on a movable support plate 22 , this plate 22 being disposed horizontally between the vertical plates 17 and 18. In FIG. 3, this support plate 22 occupies a rest position in which it is then in contact with the plate 12.
  • Each of the vertical plates 17 and 18 extends, in a direction parallel to the plane of symmetry AA ′, over a horizontal distance e which is slightly greater than the width of the sheets of A4 paper.
  • Each of these plates is provided with a device 23 for separating sheets, of known type, which, disposed at the intersection of the upper edge of this plate and the vertical edge of the latter closest to the circular edge of the plate 12 allows the upper sheet of a stack of sheets which has been brought into contact with this device, to be safely separated from the other sheets of this stack when this sheet is entrained by a friction extraction member 24 (FIG. 2) which will be described later.
  • the plates 17 and 18 have, as seen in Figure 3, a height such that, when a stack of sheets comprising about two thousand sheets is placed on the plate support 22 immobilized in the rest position, the upper sheet of this stack is at a level lower than that of the separation device 23. To allow this upper sheet to be brought into contact with this device 23, it is therefore necessary to lift the plate 22 on which this battery rests.
  • This lifting is achieved by a transport mechanism 25 ( Figure 2) which will be described in detail below and which comprises, as seen in Figure 3, a lifting plate 26 shaped so as to be able to pass through an opening 27 made in the circular plate 12, between the plates 17 and 18 of the food store.
  • the shape and dimensions of this opening 27 are conditioned by the respective size and arrangement of the food stores.
  • stores C3 and C7 which are intended to contain sheets of A3 format, each have a structure similar to that of store C1 which is illustrated in FIG. 3, with the difference that, as can be see in Figure 1, the plates 17 and 18 constituting each of the stores C3 and C7, extend, in a direction parallel to the plane of symmetry of these two stores, over a horizontal distance f which is slightly greater than the length of the sheets of A3 size paper, this distance f thus being practically double the corresponding distance e of each of the plates 17 and 18 of the other magazines.
  • this unloading location 90 corresponding to the position occupied by this store when the plane of symmetry of this store coincides with the plane of symmetry MM ′ of the inlet aisle 100 of the machine 11.
  • the positioning, in this unloading location 90, of one of the stores C1 to C8 is obtained by exciting the motor 28, this excitation being caused by a control circuit 91 which will be described later.
  • the lifting plate 26 is opposite the opening 27 of this magazine and can therefore leave its rest position to pass through this opening without risking striking the circular plate 12.
  • the cross member CA comprises four articulated rods A1, A2, A3 and A4, and that, similarly, the cross member CB comprises four articulated rods B1, B2, B3 and B4, these two cross members thus having four lower rods A1, A2, B1 and B2, two to two parallel, and four upper rods A3, A4, B3 and B4, two to two parallel.
  • the two parallel lower rods A1 and B1 are made integral with one another by an axis 30 which, extending between the two cross-pieces CA and CB, is fixed on the free ends of these two rods, this axis 30 passing through a movable block 31 inside which it can pivot.
  • the lifting platform 26 is provided, on its underside, with two articulation tabs 36 and 37 on which the free ends of the two parallel upper rods A3 and B3 come to articulate.
  • the lifting plate 26 is further provided with two guide rods 38 and 39 which, arranged parallel to the horizontal threaded rod 34, extend between two support bars 40 and 41 fixed on the underside of the lifting plate 26.
  • On these two rods 38 and 39 slide two sliding elements 42 and 43 each articulated respectively at each of the free ends of the two other parallel upper rods A4 and B4.
  • each of these switches is associated with a flexible contactor 45 which, as can be seen in FIG. 5, comprises three sliding contact elements G1, G2 and G3, which, when the supply magazine which is provided with this CF switch is brought into the unloading location 90, are applied to three conductive bars T1, T2 and T3 fixed on an insulating block 46 secured to the support plate 14, these three elements G1, G2 and G3 and these three bars T1, T2 and T3 thus allowing this switch to be electrically connected to the control circuit 91 which will be discussed later.
  • the supply device which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises yet another two-way switch CP which, as shown in FIG. 5, is arranged below the lifting plate 26, so as to be actuated by this tray when it leaves its rest position, or, on the contrary, returns to the rest position.
  • Figures 1 and 5 also show that the extraction member 24 comprises an arm 56 which is articulated, at one of its ends, on a shaft 57 arranged horizontally between two uprights 58 and 59 integral with the support plate 14
  • the shaft 57 is established to pivot in bearings (not shown) fixed on the uprights 58 and 59, and it is driven in rotation, continuously, by a motor (also not shown), by means of a drive pulley 60 fixed on this shaft 57.
  • the arm 56 which can pivot freely around this shaft 57, supports, at its other end, a second shaft 61 arranged parallel to the 'shaft 57.
  • On the shaft 61 are fixed two pulleys 62 and 63 placed on either side of the arm 56.
  • Two other pulleys 64 and 65 arranged on either side of the arm 56, are fixed on the shaft 57.
  • a belt 70 tensioned on the pulleys 62 and 64, is driven in displacement in the direction indicated by an arrow in FIG. 5, as is another belt which is mounted tensioned on the pulleys 63 and 65, l 'drive of these two belts being caused by the rotation of the shaft 57.
  • the pivoting of the arm 56 around the shaft 57 is controlled by a lever 66 which, pivotally mounted on an axis 67, is connected to one from its ends, to the arm 56 by means of a link 68. At the other end of this lever 66 is articulated ée a rod 69 secured to the movable frame of an electromagnet EA.
  • the rod 69 is provided with a compression spring 73 which, when the electromagnet EA ceases to be excited, allows the extraction member 24 to return to the rest position.
  • the lifting plate 26 is provided with an opening 74 which is located in the path of a light beam sent by a lamp L to a photoelectric cell PH, this lamp and this cell being held in fixed support elements not shown.
  • each support plate 22 is pierced with a hole 75 which, when the corresponding supply magazine is immobilized in the unloading location 90, is located in the path of this bundle. It is then understood that this beam is intercepted as long as the leaves remain on the plate 22 of the magazine which is immobilized in this unloading location.
  • the feed device which is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided with identification labels ME1, ME2, ..., ME8, which, in number equal to that of the food stores C1, C2, ..., C8, are each assigned respectively at each of these stores, these labels being regularly arranged along the circular edge 21 of the plate 12, so as to pass, during the rotation of this plate, in front of an LME label reader (shown in FIG. 3).
  • Each of these identification labels bears a characteristic mark which differs from one label to another and which represents, in coded form, the serial number of the store with which it is associated, the serial numbers of stores C1 to C8 succeeding one another from 1 to 8, the store C1 being identified by the number 1.
  • the identification label which is assigned to the store C5 carries a coded mark representing the number 5.
  • the arrangement respective of the identification labels and of the LME label reader is such that the mark carried by the identification label assigned to a given magazine is read by the LME reader at the precise moment when this magazine, driven during the rotation of the plate 12 by the motor 28, arrives in the unloading location 90.
  • the LME reader reads the different coded marks carried by the labels which pass in front of it and, each time a store passes into the location 90, it sends to the control circuit 91 the order number represented by the coded mark which is associated with this store.
  • this control circuit can then, at the moment when a determined store passes into location 90, that is to say when it receives from the LME reader the corresponding order number at this store, de-energize the motor 28 in order to stop this store in this location 90.
  • the stopping of the motor 28 does not occur instantaneously, so that this store, once stopped, is not correctly positioned with respect to to the unloading corridor 100.
  • the circular edge 21 of the plate 12 is also provided with groups of positioning indications GI1, GI2, ..., GI8, of which only one GI1 is visible in FIG. 3, these groups, in a number equal to that of the stores C1, C2, ..., C8, being each assigned respectively to each of these stores and being regularly arranged along the edge 21, so as to pass, when the plate 12 is driven in rotation, in front of a LGI code reader ( Figure 3).
  • Each of these groups is formed by a plurality of positioning codes which, when the magazine associated with this group is stopped near the unloading location 90, are used to determine the precise position of this magazine relative to this location .
  • these positioning codes which are read by the LGI reader represent, in coded form, the values of the angular deviations that can form with the plane MM ′, in one direction or the other, the plane of symmetry of the store which has been stopped near location 90.
  • the LGI reader sends electrical signals to the control circuit 91 which have the effect of causing the excitation of the motor 28 in order to rotate it in a suitable direction, so as to allow the plane of symmetry of this magazine to coincide with the plane of symmetry MM ′ of the entrance corridor 100.
  • the electric motor 28 which drives the circular plate 12 is a motor in which the reversal of the direction of rotation is obtained in a known manner according to the type of motor used. It will be considered that, in the example described and illustrated in FIG. 7B, this motor is of the alternating current type and comprises two inductor windings M1 and M2 wound in opposition so that, when the winding M1 is energized, the motor 28 rotates in the direction in which it drives the plate 12 in the direction indicated by the arrow G in FIG. 1, while, when the winding M2 is energized, this motor rotates in the opposite direction.
  • the two windings M1 and M2 can be supplied with single-phase alternating current 220 volts supplied by two terminals 220 MN, via two switch contacts CB01 and C0B2 controlled, respectively, by two relay coils B01 and B02.
  • the motor 35 which controls the raising and lowering of the plate 26, is similar to the motor 28 and comprises two inductor windings M3 and M4 wound in opposition so that, when the winding M3 is energized, the motor 35 rotates in a direction which has the effect of raising the plate 26, while, when the winding M4 is excited, this motor rotates in the opposite direction.
  • the two windings M3 and M4 can be supplied by the alternating current delivered by the terminals 220 MN, by means of two switch contacts CB03 and CB04 controlled, respectively, by two relay coils B03 and B04.

  • Each of these derivative amplifiers is designed to deliver, as will be seen below, a single positive electrical pulse at its output each time its input is brought to a positive potential.
  • the CP2 contact of the CP switch is connected, on the one hand, via a contact CB10, to the relay coils B04 and B10, on the other hand to the anode of the photoelectric cell PH, this cell having its cathode connected to a relay coil B09.

  • the control circuit which is shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B also comprises a matrix memory 80 which has several locations, each location being established to contain a single character. It should be indicated here that the characters which are stored in this memory represent, in coded form, serial numbers allowing different stores to be brought successively to the unloading location 90, in a manner that will be indicated later.

  • a direct current flows, as can be understood with reference to FIG. 7A, from terminal +, via the closed contact CB05, and comes to energize a coil B06. Since the movable contact blade of the switch CF is applied to the contact CF1, this same current comes, via this contact CF1, to energize the coil B03.
  • the energized coil B06 closes its contact CB06 and thus establishes a holding circuit for itself and for the coil B03, via the contact CB06 and a change-over contact CB09 in the rest position.
  • the energized coil B03 closes its contact CB03, which causes the winding M3 of the motor 35 to be excited.
  • the energized coil B08 closes its contact CB08 and thus establishes a holding circuit for itself and for the DCE device, via the change-over contact CB09 and the closed contact CB08. From that moment, the sheets of the stack placed in the tray C8 can be extracted one by one by the member 24 to be engaged in the printer 11. As this extraction takes place, the upper level of this stack of sheets is lowered, so that the movable blade of the CF switch ends up being applied again on contact CF1. However, this application has the effect of again exciting the coil B03 and thus causing the excitation of the motor 35 and the rise of the battery until this movable blade ceases to be applied to this contact CF1. It can thus be seen that the top of this stack of sheets always remains substantially at the same level throughout the duration of the extraction.
  • the extraction of the sheets contained in the store C8 ceases when, all the sheets having been extracted from this store, the cell PH receives the light beam emitted by the lamp L and then delivers an electrical voltage to the relay coil B09.
  • This extraction can also be interrupted, even if sheets remain in the magazine C8, when the operator presses the push-button K2 in order to excite the coil B09.
  • the energized coil B09 switches its contact CB09 to the working position, which has the effect of de-energizing the coils B06 and B08 as well as the excitation control device DCE .
  • the coils B06 and B08, de-energized, then open their respective contacts CB06 and CB08, which cuts the holding circuits which were provided by these coils.
  • the application of the moving blade of the switch CP on the contact CP1 has the effect of bring the input of the AD-2 amplifier-diverter to a positive potential.
  • the electrical pulse which is delivered by this amplifier-diverter is applied, on the one hand, via the circuit U5, at the input of the delay element 87, on the other hand at the input of the delay element 82 and of the read circuits 83, which causes the transfer , towards the register RG1, of the serial number which is in the first location of the memory 80.
  • the various food stores which are successively brought to the unloading location 90 are defined by the serial numbers which, before the start of the feeding apparatus, have been recorded, in a known manner, by the operator, in the different successive locations of memory 80. Under these conditions, if the operator has taken take care to close the IT switch, the operations for successively placing these magazines in location 90, as well as the operations for extracting the sheets contained in these magazines, take place fully automatically, without the operator having to to intervene.
