Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich in erster Linie auf ein Verfahren zum Ablegen und Transportieren von Flächengebilden mit einer Stapelvorrichtung für die herangeführten Flächengebilde und einer Preßvorrichtung, wobei die Flächengebilde einzeln oder in Paketform auf einer Ablage abgesetzt und gehäufelt werden.The invention relates primarily to a method for depositing and transporting flat structures with a stacking device for the brought-up flat structures and a pressing device, the flat structures being deposited and piled up individually or in a package on a shelf.

Bei einer Vorrichtung dieser Art nach der DE-OS 1 957 337 erfolgt die Zuführung der gefalzten Flächengebilde - in diesem Fall der Zeitungen - jeweils paketweise von der einen Seite zum Stapel und danach gegenläufig von der anderen Seite zum Stapel. Nach Fertigstellung eines Pakets, z.B. aus zehn Zeitungen, erfolgt ein Seitenwechsel, wobei entsprechend der Häufelung der Flächengebilde bzw. der vorhandenen Pakete eine Absenkung des gesamten Paketstoßes bzw. Stapels so weit erfolgt, bis die unterste Stellung der Auflage für den Stapel erreicht ist. Danach wird der Stapel seitlich weggefördert. Da eine Zusammenpressung der einzelnen Pakete bzw. gefalzten Flächengebilde nicht vorgesehen ist, ist der erzielte Stapel relativ hoch und es besteht die Gefahr, daß der Stapel sich beim Weitertransport seitlich verschiebt.In a device of this type according to DE-OS 1 957 337, the folded sheets - in this case the newspapers - are fed in packs from one side to the stack and then in opposite directions from the other side to the stack. After completing a package, e.g. from ten newspapers, a page change takes place, the total package stack or stack being lowered until the lowest position of the support for the stack is reached in accordance with the accumulation of the flat structures or the existing packages. The stack is then conveyed away to the side. Since compression of the individual packages or folded flat structures is not provided, the stack achieved is relatively high and there is a risk that the stack will shift laterally during further transport.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, bei dem nicht nur ein dichter oder kompakter Stapel geschaffen wird, sondern auch die Höhenunterschiede in jedemThe invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, in which not only a dense or compact stack is created, but also the height differences in each

Paket bzw. im gesamten Stapel weitgehend ausgeschaltet werden; auch soll eine seitliche Verschiebung im Stapel weitgehend vermieden werden.Package or in the entire stack are largely switched off; a lateral shift in the stack should also be largely avoided.

Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß erfindungsgemäß das durch Stapeln und Häufeln erhaltene Paket oder Flächengebilde aufwärts gefördert, in dieser Stellung arretiert und zusammengepreßt wird, das nachfolgende Paket auf die gleiche Weise hergestellt, und der oder die neuen Paket(e) auf den gerade gehäufelten Paketstoß von oben abgesetzt und schließlich der Stapel mit seiner Halterung seitlich versetzt wird.The object is achieved in that, according to the invention, the package or sheet obtained by stacking and heaping is conveyed upwards, locked in this position and pressed together, the subsequent package is produced in the same way, and the new package (s) are stacked on top of the other Parcel stack deposited from above and finally the stack is moved laterally with its holder.

Auf der einen Seite ist es möglich, den Weitertransport des einzelnen Paketes nach der Zusammenpressung oder auch des Paketstoßes nach der Zusammenpressung seitengerecht zu gewährleisten und auf der anderen Seite wird der erhaltene zusammengepreßte Stapel zusammen mit der Haltevorrichtung zur Abgabestelle bzw. zum Weitertransport gefördert.On the one hand, it is possible to ensure the further transport of the individual package after compression or also the package joint after compression, and on the other hand, the compressed stack obtained is conveyed together with the holding device to the delivery point or for further transport.

Besonders geeignet ist dieses Verfahren dann, wenn die einzelnen Pakete kreuzweise abgelegt werden, so daß z.B. die jeweiligen Falze an unterschiedlichen Seiten zu liegen kommen. Hierfür wird erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen, daß das einzelne Paket und/oder der Paketstoß nach der Aufwärtsbewegung gedreht wird; die Drehung kann um 90 oder ein Vielfaches davon erfolgen. Zweckmäßigerweise wird die Kreuzverlegung so vorgenommen, daß bei Aufeinandersetzung von zwei Paketen die jeweiligen Falzstellen einander gegenüberliegen. Es können aber auch z.B. vier Pakete einen Paketstoß oder Stapel bilden, wobei dann die Falzstellen an allen vier Seitenrändern verlaufen.This method is particularly suitable when the individual packages are deposited crosswise, so that e.g. the respective folds come to rest on different sides. For this purpose, it is proposed according to the invention that the individual package and / or the package stack is rotated after the upward movement; the rotation can be 90 or a multiple thereof. The cross-laying is expediently carried out in such a way that when two packages are placed one on top of the other, the respective folding points lie opposite one another. However, e.g. four packets form a stack of packs or stacks, the fold points then running on all four side edges.

Nach einer bevorzugten Abwandlung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird die Pressung während der seitlichen Versetzung aufrechterhalten.According to a preferred modification of the method according to the invention, the pressing is maintained during the lateral displacement.

Eine besonders schnelle Stapelbildung auch gegebenenfalls mit einer Kreuzverlegung kann dann vorgesehen werden, wenn mindestens zwei gleichartige Haltevorrichtungen von einer Transportvorrichtung bedient werden und nach Erstellung des Pakets oder Paketstoßes an einer Haltevorrichtung die nächstfolgende Haltevorrichtung beliefert wird.A particularly rapid stack formation, possibly also with a cross laying, can be provided if at least two similar holding devices are operated by one transport device and the next holding device is supplied to the holding device after the package or package stack has been created.

Weiterhin liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine für die Anwendung des oben beschriebenen Verfahrens zweckmäßige Vorrichtung zu schaffen.Furthermore, the invention has for its object to provide a device suitable for the application of the method described above.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß erfindungsgemäß über einer Ablage, gegebenenfalls mit seitlichen Ausrichtern eine Haltevorrichtung vorgesehen ist, welche mit einer unter das jeweilige Paket oder den Paketstoß greifenden Greif- und Stützvorrichtung o.dgl. und einer auf das Paket und/oder den Paketstoß einwirkenden Preßvorrichtung versehen ist. Die Haltevorrichtung kann aus einer Platte o.dgl., der darunter angeordneten Preßvorrichtung und der in Richtung auf die Ablage verlaufenden Greif- und Stützvorrichtung bestehen; letztere kann aus mehreren, gegebenenfalls gegenläufig bewegbaren Greif- und Stützstangen o.dgl. bestehen.This object is achieved in that, according to the invention, a holding device is provided above a shelf, optionally with lateral aligners, or the like with a gripping and supporting device which engages under the respective package or the package joint. and a pressing device acting on the package and / or the package impact is provided. The holding device can consist of a plate or the like., The pressing device arranged underneath and the gripping and supporting device running in the direction of the shelf; the latter can or the like from several, possibly oppositely movable gripping and support rods. consist.

Zweckmäßigerweise besteht die Preßvorrichtung aus mindestens einer gegebenenfalls zweiteiligen Preßplatte; letztere besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus mindestens zwei sich überlappenden, durch Federn beaufschlagten Teilen.The pressing device expediently consists of at least one optionally two-part pressing plate; the latter expediently consists of at least two overlapping parts acted upon by springs.

Die Drehvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise oberhalb der Haltevorrichtung angeordnet und die gesamte Haltevorrichtung ist ohne Ablage drehbar. Auf diese Weise kann eine Kreuzverlegung der einzelnen Flächengebilde bzw. der Pakete aus Flächengebilden erreicht werden.The rotating device is preferably arranged above the holding device and the entire holding device can be rotated without a shelf. In this way, a cross-laying of the individual fabrics or the packages of fabrics can be achieved.

Die Drehvorrichtung kann eine drehkranzartige Lagerung aufweisen.The rotating device can have a slewing ring-like mounting.

Die Halterung ist zweckmäßigerweise mit einer Verstellvorrichtung für den Abstand der sich gegenüberliegenden Greif- und Stützstangen o.dgl. versehen. Es ist also nicht nur möglich, mit den Ausrichtern - wie oben angegeben - das Paket während der Ablage der einzelnen Flächengebilde auf der Ablage seitlich auszurichten, sondern es ist auch möglich, die Greif- und Stützvorrichtung seitlich so zu verstellen, daß unterschiedlichen Größen von Flächengebilden Rechnung getragen werden kann.The bracket is expedient or the like with an adjusting device for the distance between the opposing gripping and supporting rods. Mistake. It is therefore not only possible to align the package laterally with the aligners - as stated above - during the placement of the individual fabrics on the shelf, but it is also possible to laterally adjust the gripping and supporting device in such a way that different sizes of fabrics Be taken into account can.

Die Drehvorrichtung kann einen auf der Platte o.dgl. zentrisch angeordneten Drehkranz o.dgl. aufweisen. Auch ist es möglich, zur seitlichen Verschiebung der Haltevorrichtung die Platte o.dgl. auf Schienen, einem Rahmen o.dgl. zu lagern.The rotary device or the like on the plate. Centrally arranged slewing ring or the like. exhibit. It is also possible for the plate or the like for lateral displacement of the holding device. on rails, a frame or the like. to store.

Auf der Zeichnung ist eine beispielsweise Ausführungsform dargestellt. Sie wird nachfolgend näher beschrieben; es zeigt:

An example of an embodiment is shown in the drawing. It is described in more detail below; it shows:
  • 1 is a side view of an embodiment with two holding devices,
  • 2 is an enlarged view of a holding device,
  • 3 is a view along line 3-3 in Fig. 2,
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of the holding device along line 4-4 in Fig. 2 and
  • 5 is a side view of the entire system along line 5-5 in Fig. 1st

Durch einen Rahmen 1 sind zwei Haltevorrichtungen 2 gleicher Bauweise nebeneinander auf gleicher Höhe gehalten. Diese Haltevorrichtungen 2 bzw. 2' werden abwechselnd von zwei Fördervorrichtungen mit einzelnen Flächengebilden beliefert. Nach Erstellung eines Paketes auf einer Ablage 3 durch die Fördervorrichtung 4 wird, wie weiter unten näher beschrieben, vorgegangen. Danach erfolgt über das Fördersystem 5 eine Belieferung mit einzelnen Flächengebilden zur Ablage 6. Bei einer derartigen taktweisen Zulieferung an die beiden Haltevorrichtungen 2, 2' ist gewährleistet, daß die Heranführung der Flächengebilde, z.B. in Schuppenform, ohne eine Unterbrechung erfolgen kann, die z.B. durch den nachfolgend beschrießenen Preßvorgang bedingt ist.A frame 1 holds two holding devices 2 of the same design next to each other at the same height. These holding devices 2 and 2 'are alternately supplied by two conveying devices with individual fabrics. After creating a package on a shelf 3 by the conveyor 4, the procedure is as described in more detail below. This is followed by the delivery system 5 with individual sheets for storage 6. With such a cyclical delivery to the two holding devices 2, 2 'it is ensured that the approach of the sheets, e.g. in the form of a scale, without an interruption, e.g. is caused by the subsequent pressing process.

Der Einfachheit halber wird lediglich die Haltevorrichtung 2 nachfolgend im Detail beschrieben, da die Haltevorrichtung 2' - wie bereits bemerkt - auf die gleiche Weise ausgebildet ist. Zwischen den Endlosförderern 7 und 8 erfolgt die Aufgabe der schuppenförmig angelieferten, gefalzten Flächenprodukte. Die Ablage 3 ist in der Höhe verstellbar und senkt sich entsprechend der Zulieferung der Flächengebilde ab. An den sich gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Ablage 3 sind Ausrichter 9 und 10 vorgesehen, die für ein an den Seiten bündiges Paket der abgesetzten Flächengebilde sorgen. Dem selben Zweck dienen die sich gegenüberstehenden Ausrichter 11. Nach Erstellung eines Paketes, z.B. von 10 Papierprodukten, wird die Auflage 3 angehoben, so daß sich die Greif- und Stützstangen 13, 14 unter das Paket setzen können. Hierzu sind Hubzylinder 15 und 16 vorgesehen.For the sake of simplicity, only the holding device 2 is described in detail below, since the holding device 2 '- as already mentioned - is designed in the same way. Between the endless conveyors 7 and 8 there is the task of the folded, flat products delivered in the form of scales. The shelf 3 is adjustable in height and lowers according to the delivery of the fabrics. On the opposite sides of the shelf 3, aligners 9 and 10 are provided, which ensure a package of the flat fabrics set flush on the sides. The opposing aligners 11 serve the same purpose. After creating a package, e.g. of 10 paper products, the support 3 is raised so that the gripping and support rods 13, 14 can sit under the package. Lifting cylinders 15 and 16 are provided for this purpose.

Eine weiter unten näher beschriebene Preßplatte 17 senkt sich auf das Paket ab und preßt dieses zusammen.A press plate 17, described in more detail below, descends on the package and presses it together.

Gleichzeitig hat sich die Ablage wieder in eine nicht dargestellte Stellung, also die Aufnahmestellung, abgesenkt, so daß eine erneute Aufgabe von Flächenprodukten über die Förderbänder 7, 8 in der eben beschriebenen Weise erfolgen kann.At the same time, the tray has dropped back into a position (not shown), that is to say the receiving position, so that surface products can be re-fed via the conveyor belts 7, 8 in the manner just described.

Bevor das zweite auf der Ablage 3 angehäufelte Paket seine oberste oder maximale Stapelhöhe erreicht hat, die auf der Höhe des oberen Abschnittes des Förderbandes 8 liegt, ist die Haltevorrichtung 3 um ihre mittige Achse 18 um 180" verdreht worden; das zusammengedrückte Paket enthält nunmehr die Falzstellen auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite. Die Greif- und Stützarme 13 und 14 werden nach außen abgeschwenkt, so daß das zusammengedrückte Paket auf die inzwischen lose abgelegte Flächengebilde abgesetzt wird. Jetzt werden die beiden Pakete zusammen durch Anheben der Ablage 3 unter die Greif- und Stützarme 13 und 14 hochgeschoben, so daß letztere wieder nach innen verschwenkt werden können. Es erfolgt nunmehr mit der Preßplatte 17 ein erneutes Zusammenpressen der beiden Pakete.Before the second package piled on the tray 3 has reached its top or maximum stack height, which is at the height of the upper section of the conveyor belt 8, the holding device 3 has been rotated by 180 "about its central axis 18; the compressed package now contains the The gripping and support arms 13 and 14 are pivoted outwards so that the compressed package is placed on the now loosely deposited sheet-like structure.Now the two packages are lifted together under the gripping and support arms 13 and 14 are pushed upwards so that the latter can be swiveled inwards again.

Dieser Vorgang wiederholt sich bis maximal die Aufnahme der Haltevorrichtung 2 gefüllt ist. Es bleibt allerdings die Preßplatte auf dem Paketstoß bzw. Stapel liegen, so daß die gesamte Haltevorrichtung, wie weiter unten näher beschrieben, mit dem Stapel seitlich verschoben werden kann.This process is repeated until the holding device 2 is filled to a maximum. However, the press plate remains on the stack of packs or stacks, so that the entire holding device, as described in more detail below, can be moved laterally with the stack.

Die in Fig. 2 näher dargestellte Preßplatte besteht aus mindestens zwei im vorliegenden Fall jedoch drei Teilen, wobei die beiden äußeren Teile 20 und 21 ortsfest sind bzw. mit einer Rahmenkonstruktion verbunden sind. Der mittlere Teil 23 der Platte 17 ist in bezug auf die Platten 20 und 21 verschiebbar gelagert und durch eine Feder 22 beaufschlagt. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, den Abstand der beiden Greif- und Stützstangen 13 und 14 bzw. deren entsprechenden Rahmenteile 24 und 25 zu verändern und der etwaigen Breite oder Tiefe des Paketstoßes bzw. Stapels anzupassen. Eine Verstellung des Abstandes kann mittels Trägern 30 bzw. 31 erfolgen.The press plate shown in more detail in Fig. 2 consists of at least two, but in the present case three parts, the two outer parts 20 and 21 being stationary or being connected to a frame construction. The middle part 23 of the plate 17 is slidably mounted with respect to the plates 20 and 21 and acted upon by a spring 22. In this way it is possible to change the distance between the two gripping and supporting rods 13 and 14 or their corresponding frame parts 24 and 25 and to adapt them to the possible width or depth of the package joint or stack. The distance can be adjusted by means of supports 30 or 31.

Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist, weist die Stütz-und Greifvorrichtung eine Rahmenkonstruktion 30' auf, an deren Querstange 31' Greifzähne 32 angebracht sind, welche in eingeschwenkter Stellung das Paket oder den Paketstoß untergreifen und halten.As can be seen from FIG. 3, the support and gripping device has a frame construction 30 ', on the cross bar 31' of which gripping teeth 32 are attached, which in the pivoted-in position grip and hold the package or the package joint.

Die oben erwähnte Preßplatte 17, bestehend aus den Teilen 20 - 23,ist zwischen den Stütz- und Greifstangen 13 und 14 absenkbar.The press plate 17 mentioned above, consisting of the parts 20-23, can be lowered between the support and gripping rods 13 and 14.

Die Haltevorrichtung 2 mit der Greif- und Stützvorrichtung und der Preßplatte ist über einen Drehkranz 33 (Fig. 2) mit einer Halteplatte 40 verbunden.
