Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sorting device for storing sheet-like recording media according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a sorting device of this type is known from DE-A 36 43 340.
  • This sorting device has a plurality of storage compartments arranged one above the other.
  • a transport unit can be moved up and down in front of the storage compartments. In a receiving position, the transport unit takes over the sheet-shaped recording media, in particular paper sheets from an office machine, between a pair of rollers. While the recording medium is held between the rollers, the transport unit is moved into a delivery position in front of a selected storage compartment. There the rollers are driven again and push the sheet into the storage compartment.
  • the known sorting device requires a separate drive motor for positioning the transport unit and for driving the rollers.
  • the motor for driving the rollers is arranged in the transport unit and is moved with it.
  • the transport unit becomes complex and the power supply and control of the drive motor of the roller must be carried out via cables that are carried along.
  • the transport unit takes over the recording medium in the position in which it is released by the office machine and also stores it in this position in the storage compartment. For example, if the office machine is a printer that outputs the paper sheets face up, the successively printed paper sheets are stored in the wrong order. Filing in the correct order, face down, is not possible.
  • the sorting device has a predetermined number of storage compartments, which are arranged in a predetermined position and have a predetermined holding capacity. It is not possible to vary the number of storage compartments and, in particular, the storage capacity of the storage compartments.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a sorting device which is structurally less complex and more flexible in operation.
  • the transport unit is moved by means of an endlessly rotating positioning means, preferably a positioning belt moves.
  • the transport unit therefore always moves in the same direction on a rotating path.
  • the record carriers to be stored can either be stored in the position in which they are taken over (eg face up) or in the reversed position (face down). For this it is only necessary to control the functional sequence of the sorting device in such a way that the recording media are picked up by the transport unit before or after the reversal point of the orbit.
  • the circumferential movement of the transport unit according to the invention also enables the use of two transport units which are arranged diametrically on the same positioning pulling means. If the one transport unit is in the delivery position in front of the storage compartments, the other transport unit is thus directly in front of the receiving position, so that immediately after the delivery of a recording medium into the storage compartments by the one transport unit, the next recording medium can be picked up by the other transport unit.
  • the sorting device can work considerably faster, which is particularly important with a larger number of storage compartments and correspondingly larger transport routes of the transport unit.
  • the positioning motor for driving the transport unit and the rollers of the transport unit for receiving and delivering the recording media are driven by the same motor. It is only necessary to reverse the direction of rotation of the motor in order to switch between driving the positioning traction means and driving the rollers of the transport unit.
  • the transport unit has no separate drive motor and no cable feeds for the energy supply and control of a drive motor, which reduces the costs of the sorting device and considerably simplifies its construction.
  • a higher flexibility of the sorting device results according to the invention in that the storage compartments can be used at different distances. This makes it possible to vary the number and capacity of the storage compartments.
  • An increase in the capacity of the storage compartments results in an advantageous embodiment in that the supporting wall holding the stack of sheets in the storage compartment has an additional sheet stop which can be moved beyond the supporting wall in order to increase the supporting wall so that the storage compartment can accommodate a stack of sheets that grows beyond the retaining wall.
  • the storage compartments are preferably provided with a hold-down device which compresses the stack of sheet-shaped recording media received in the storage compartment in order to ensure a tight, space-saving storage.
  • the hold-down device is expediently lifted off the stack of sheets by the transport unit when the transport unit comes into the delivery position in front of the respective storage compartment. As a result, the hold-down device automatically releases a throw-in gap for the record carrier to be deposited, without additional complex control and actuation measures being necessary.
  • a stop can also be provided which limits this lifting-off movement of the hold-down device. If the hold-down device comes into contact with this stop, a full notification signal is generated which indicates that the respective storage compartment is full.
  • This full report signal becomes advantageous generated by the fact that the hold-down device, when it comes into contact with the stop, opposes a high resistance to the lifting path by the transport unit. A full message is thus possible without the need for optoelectric scans or microswitches on each individual storage compartment.
  • the full message signal is rather generated in the drive of the transport unit and can thus advantageously be adopted directly in the electronic control of the sorting device. In particular, this type of generation of the full report signal favors the arbitrary insertion of the storage compartments in the sorting device and thus its flexibility.
  • a particularly simple positioning of the transport unit and generation of the full message signal can be achieved in that the housing of the motor driving the transport unit is rotatably supported against a spring force. If the transport unit runs against resistance, first when the hold-down device is lifted off and then when it comes into contact with the full message stop, the torque of the motor shaft increases suddenly and the motor housing rotates against the spring force.
  • the motor housing actuates switching elements to generate the required signals, i.e. first to generate the start signal for driving the rollers of the transport unit to deliver the recording medium into the storage compartment and then to generate the full report signal. The expenditure on scanning and switching elements is thus kept to a minimum.
  • the sorting device is preferably designed with essentially horizontal storage compartments arranged one above the other. However, it is also possible to arrange the storage compartments in a substantially vertical position, the transport unit being moved and positioned horizontally above the storage compartments becomes.
  • the sorting device is shown in connection with an office machine 10, such as a printer.
  • the office machine 10 outputs recording media in the form of printed paper sheets 12 which are to be sorted.
  • the sorting device has a housing with side walls 14, in which storage compartments 16 can be inserted one above the other with a slight inclination towards the horizontal.
  • two vertical rows of punched-out and inwardly bent support tabs 18 are provided in the side walls 14 and support the storage compartments 16.
  • the support tabs 18 of the two vertical rows are offset from one another in height in order to fix the angle of inclination of the storage compartments 16 against the horizontal.
  • the number and the mutual vertical spacing of the support tabs 18 allow a great variability in the number and in the arrangement of the storage compartments 16.
  • the rear end of the storage compartments 16 protrudes from the side walls 14 in order to enable removal of the deposited paper sheets from the storage compartments 16 .
  • a shaft 20 is rotatably supported between the side walls 14 at the top and bottom. On both sides of the shafts 20, non-rotatably toothed belt pulleys 22 are seated. Endless toothed positioning belts 24 run over the belt pulleys 22 as positioning pulling means.
  • the upper shaft 20 is driven by an electric stepping motor 26 attached to the side wall 14 via a drive toothed belt 28.
  • the drive toothed belt 28 engages with a toothed wheel 30 which is seated on the shaft 20 with an overrunning clutch. If the stepping motor 26 is driven clockwise in the illustration in FIG. 1, so that the gearwheel 30 also rotates clockwise, the overrunning clutch engages and the positioning belts 24 rotate in a clockwise direction. If the stepper motor 26 is driven counterclockwise, the overrunning clutch disengages and the positioning belts 24 are not driven. A backstop prevents the positioning belts from moving counterclockwise.
  • the two transport units 32 are arranged diametrically to one another on the positioning belts 24, so that, for example, one transport unit 32 is at the bottom right when the other transport unit 32 is at the top left, as shown in FIG.
  • two rollers 34 and 35 are rotatably supported, which extend over the entire width of the transport unit 32.
  • the shafts of the two rollers 34 and 36 run parallel to one another in a plane parallel to the positioning belts 24.
  • the rollers 34 and 36 have a frictional surface and are in contact with one another along a roller gap.
  • the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36 extend laterally beyond the transport unit 32, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the shafts each have a gear 38 and 40, the two gears 38 and 40 being axially offset from one another by more than their width.
  • the gear wheels 38 and 40 each engage with an overrunning clutch 104 on the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36, which engages when the gear wheel 38 and 40 rotates relative to the shaft clockwise (in FIG. 1).
  • a drive traction means in the form of an endlessly rotating drive belt 42 is guided over deflection pulleys 44 so that it runs parallel to the vertical runs of the positioning belt 24 on the side of the transport units 32 facing away from it.
  • the drive belt 42 is deflected above and below the pulleys 22 above and below, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the two upper deflection disks 44 and the two lower deflection disks 44 are each axially offset from one another in such a way that the drive belt 42 is on the left in FIG. 1 with the gear 40 of the roller 36 and on that in FIG. 1 right side with the gear 38 of the roller 34 engages, as can be seen in Figure 2.
  • the drive belt 42 is also driven by the stepper motor 26.
  • the stepper motor 26 drives a toothed wheel 48 via a drive toothed belt 46, which in turn engages in a toothed wheel 50 which is seated on the shaft of one of the deflection pulleys 44 by means of an overrunning clutch. If the stepper motor 26 is driven counterclockwise (in FIG. 1), the overrunning clutch engages and the drive belt 42 is driven clockwise (in FIG. 1). If the stepper motor 26 is driven clockwise, the overrunning clutch disengages and the drive belt 42 is not driven.
  • the housing of the stepper motor 26 is rotatably mounted on the side wall 14 and is held by a spring 112 with a radially protruding nose 106 in a clockwise direction (in FIG. 1) against a stop of the side wall 14.
  • the nose 106 actuates two switching elements 108 and 110 which are offset at an angle to one another and which e.g. Can be proximity switches.
  • a pivotable blade stop 52 is provided in the sorting device opposite the sheet exit of the office machine 10 immediately before the movement path of the transport unit 32. Furthermore, a horizontally continuous guide plate 54 is arranged at this height within the orbit of the positioning belt 24. A switch 56 is pivotally mounted at a distance above the guide plate 54. The free end of the switch 56 points in the direction of the office machine 10. The switch 56 is between a position shown in solid lines in FIG. 1, in which its free end is in the guide plate 54 engages, and a raised position shown in broken lines in FIG. 1, in which a sheet passage between the guide plate 54 and the switch 56 remains free. Support threads 58 are tensioned upward from the pivot axis of the switch 56 and run in a central plane between the two runs of the positioning belt 24. A plurality of support threads 58 are arranged spaced apart from one another over the width remaining free between the two positioning belts 24.
  • the transport units 32 have a slide bar 60 on their side facing away from the positioning belts 24, which extends over the entire width of the transport unit 32 and protrudes laterally beyond the transport unit 32 at one end.
  • the slide bar 60 is mounted transversely displaceably on pins 64 of the transport unit 32 by means of elongated holes 62.
  • the slide strips 60 each have two lugs 66 projecting perpendicularly from the transport unit 32.
  • the slide bar 60 is held by a spring 68 in the position shown in FIG. 5, in which its outer end protrudes laterally beyond the transport unit 32.
  • a control flap 70 is arranged between the side wall 14 and the run of the positioning belt 24 on the left in FIG. 1, which runs in front of the storage compartments 16 and extends vertically over the entire height of the path of the transport unit 32 and can be pivoted about a vertical axis. If the control flap 70 is pivoted against the force of a return spring 72, it comes to a stop against the projecting free end of the slide bar 60 and displaces it against the force of the spring 68.
  • rollers 34 and 36 are axially displaceably mounted in the transport unit 32, as is also shown in FIG. 5.
  • the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36 are also extended laterally beyond the transport unit 32, so that the control flap 70 also abuts against the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36 and the rollers 34 and 36 can move axially, ie transversely to the movement path of the transport unit 32 .
  • a compression spring 74 holds the rollers 34 and 36 in the basic position, in which the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36 protrude as far as possible from the transport unit 32, as shown in FIG.
  • control flap 70 When the control flap 70 is pivoted further, it also comes into contact with the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36 and additionally also moves the rollers 34 and 36.
  • the gears 38 and 40 are rotatably but axially displaceably arranged on the shafts of the rollers 34 and 36 so that these shafts can be moved by the control flap 70 without the gear 40 being disengaged from the drive belt 42.
  • the storage compartments 16 have a shelf 76 with side walls 78 and a front support wall 80 facing the positioning belt 24 for the received stack of paper sheets.
  • two legs 82 are pivotally mounted, which project forward over the support wall 80 and are connected to one another in front of the support wall 80 by a leaf stop 84.
  • arms 86 are further pivoted. The arms 86 protrude forwards beyond the legs 82 and the blade stop 84 and have at their front end baffles 88 which protrude from one another and protrude against the movement path of the transport unit 32.
  • the arms 86 are connected to one another by a cross-shaped beam-shaped hold-down device 90 which rests on the paper stack placed in the storage compartment 16 and presses it together. Cutouts 92 in the side walls 78 enable the hold-down device 90 to rest on the paper stack even when the stack height is low.
  • a downward tab 94 is attached with an elongated hole 96.
  • a pin 98 of the leg 82 engages in the elongated hole 96, so that the arms 86 and the legs 82 can be pivoted relative to one another by an angle predetermined by the length of the elongated hole 96.
  • a tension spring 100 stretched between the arms 86 and the side walls 78 pulls the arms 86 downward, so that the hold-down device 90 rests under the action of this tension spring 100 on the sheet stack stored in the storage compartment 16.
  • One of the arms 86 has an upwardly projecting tab 102 which cooperates with a stop which limits the swiveling movement of the arms 86 upwards.
  • the sorting device works in the following way: First, the desired number of storage compartments 16 are inserted into the side walls 14 by means of the support tabs 18. The mutual vertical distance between the storage compartments 16 is chosen according to the desired capacity. The positions of the storage compartments 16 used are stored in the control electronics.
  • a paper sheet 12 output by the office machine 10 is to be placed face down, this paper sheet 12 is first pushed by the office machine 10 against the sheet stop 52, on which it bulges bulges, as shown in Figure 1.
  • the stepper motor 26 is energized clockwise, so that the positioning belts 24 are driven via the engaging overrunning clutch, while the drive belt 42 is not driven.
  • the transport unit 32 located on the right strand of the positioning belt 24 in FIG. 1 is moved into the receiving position on the sheet stop 52, which is shown in FIG. 1.
  • the gear 38 of the upper roller 34 is in engagement with the drive belt 42.
  • the gear 38 runs on the fixed drive belt 42, so that it is rotated counterclockwise.
  • the overrunning clutch 104 is disengaged so that the rollers 34 and 36 are not driven.
  • the sheet stop 52 is pivoted downward and the paper sheet 12 jumps under the pressure of its bulge with its leading edge into the nip of the rollers 34 and 36.
  • the control electronics reverses the direction of rotation of the Stepper motor 26 around, so that it rotates counterclockwise.
  • the drive of the positioning belt 24 disengages so that they stop.
  • the drive of the drive belt 42 engages, so that the drive belt 42 now clockwise, i.e. is driven down in Figure 4.
  • the overrunning clutch 104 of the gear wheel 38 now engages, the roller 34 is driven, the roller 36 rotating freely.
  • the paper sheet 12 is drawn in by the rollers 34 and 36 and pushed upwards over the switch 56 pivoted downward on the supporting threads 58 into the position shown in broken lines in FIG.
  • the electronic control monitors the drive of the positioning belts 24 and actuates the control flap 70 as soon as the transport unit has passed the storage compartment 16, which is located directly in front of the selected storage compartment 16. By pivoting the control flap 70, it comes into contact with the slide bar 60 and moves it.
  • the lugs 66 of the slide bar 60 are in the rest position of the slide bar 60 in the position shown in FIG. 5, in which they can pass the flags 88 of the storage compartments 16 unhindered.
  • the lugs 66 now pass through the displacement by means of the control flap 70 into the area of the flags 88.
  • the lugs 66 come into engagement with the flags 88 and lift the arms 86 with the hold-down device 90 from the stack of sheets stored in this storage compartment 16, as shown in Figure 7. Because of the elongated hole 96, the arms 86 also stand out from the legs 82, so that an insertion gap opens between the hold-down device 90 and the upper edge of the sheet stop 84.
  • Raising the arms 86 with the hold-down 90 and the legs 82 creates a resistance to the movement of the transport unit 32.
  • This resistance increases the torque output by the stepper motor 26, so that the housing of the stepper motor 26 with the nose 106 against the force of the Spring 112 rotates counter to the direction of rotation of the motor shaft, ie counterclockwise.
  • the nose 106 thereby actuates the first switching element 108, which indicates to the control electronics that the transport unit 32 has reached the selected delivery position.
  • the direction of rotation of the stepping motor 26 is now reversed so that the positioning belts 24 are no longer driven.
  • the backstop prevents the positioning belts 24 from being moved back under the pressure of the hold-down device 90 resting on the lugs 66 of the transport unit 32.
  • the deposited paper sheets come to rest with their leading edge on the pivoted-up sheet stop 84, so that a higher stack of sheets is reliably held in the storage compartment 16 .
  • the friction between the leading edge of the sheet stack and the sheet stop 84 prevents the sheet stop 84 from falling down when the hold-down device 90 is lowered.
  • control flap 70 is released again and reset by the return spring 72.
  • the slide bar 60 is reset by the spring 68 so that the lugs 66 release the flags 88 again.
  • the hold-down device 90 is pulled under the action of the tension spring 100 onto the paper stack lying in the storage compartment 16.
  • the depositing process is thus ended and the positioning belts 24 are driven again in order to bring the other transport unit 32 into the receiving position. Since the two transport units 32 are arranged diametrically to one another, there is only one path of at most the length of the right one Trums of the positioning belt 24 necessary to bring the transport unit 32 into the receiving position. The sorting device is thus very quickly ready to take over the next paper sheet 12 from the office machine 10.
  • rollers 34 and 36 of the one transport unit 32 are driven in the receiving position, the other transport unit 32 has already released its paper sheet, so that the drive of the rollers 34 and 36 of this other transport unit 32 does not interfere.
  • control flap 70 If the control flap 70 is pivoted beyond the actuation of the slide bar 60 when the individual sheets are deposited, it also displaces the rollers 34 and 36 with the paper sheet clamped in the roller gap. The paper sheet is thereby placed laterally offset in the storage compartment 16. In this way it is possible, by controlled pivoting of the control flap 70 in its first or second pivoting position, to deposit the paper sheets in the storage compartment 16 either with or without a lateral offset (offset), e.g. enable easier separation of the sheet stack.
  • offset offset
  • the switch 56 is pivoted up into the position shown in broken lines in FIG. 1.
  • the transport unit 32 is in a receiving position driven, which is located on the left strand in Figure 1 of the positioning belt 24 adjacent to the guide plate 54.
  • the paper sheet 12 issued by the office machine 10 slides with its leading edge over the guide plate 54 and reaches the nip of the transport unit 32.
  • the drive belt 42 is then driven so that, as described above, the gear 40 is driven and via its clutching overrunning clutch 104 drives the roller 36.
  • the drive is only so short that only the leading edge of the paper sheet 12 is drawn.
  • the transport unit 32 is conveyed to the selected storage compartment 16 in the manner described above, dragging the paper sheet 12.
  • the delivery into the storage compartment 16 takes place in the manner described above.
  • the sorting device can also be designed with horizontally rotating positioning belts 24 and drive belts 42, the storage compartments 16 being essentially vertically standing under the lower horizontal run of the positioning belt 24.
  • the paper sheets discharged from the transport unit 32 fall freely down into the storage compartments.
  • a front support wall and a sheet stop on the side of the storage compartments facing the transport unit 32 are not required.
  • the stack stands, for example, on a conveyor belt which is actuated after the sheet is inserted and which guides the lower edge of the sheet standing on the conveyor belt against the stack held by a stop rail.
  • the conveyor belt slides under the standing stack. In the upper area, the stack is held together by a spring-loaded hold-down device. In this embodiment, the stack is removed from the side of the storage compartments.
