Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the 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
  • 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.
  • the compressed stack obtained is conveyed together with the holding device to the delivery point or for further transport.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • four packets form a stack of packs or stacks, the fold points then running on all four side edges.
  • the pressing is maintained during the lateral displacement.
  • 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.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device suitable for the application of the method described above.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the rotating device can have a slewing ring-like mounting.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the shelf 3 is adjustable in height and lowers according to the delivery of the fabrics.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the holding device 3 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the press plate 17 mentioned above, consisting of the parts 20-23, can be lowered between the support and gripping rods 13 and 14.
  • the holding device 2 with the gripping and supporting device and the pressing plate is connected to a holding plate 40 via a rotating ring 33 (FIG. 2).
  • the holding plate has three brackets 41 for two rails 42, on which the holding device, as described below, is displaceable.
  • FIG. 5 is next to everyone Holding device 2 or 2 'a tray table 50 with a roller conveyor 51 is provided.
  • the holding device 2 or 2 ' is moved over the holding table 50 together with the compressed packet stack held in the receptacle.
  • the support or gripping rods are pivoted back so that the compressed stack or stack of packages can be put down and fed to a further treatment.
  • the holding device or the receptacle can be rotated by 90 or - this is generally preferred - by 180 °.
  • a lifting cylinder 62 is provided for the rotation.
  • the lifting cylinder 62 rotates the turntable 33 and thus the entire holding device 2 via a link 62 ′, which is guided in a link 62 ′′, and a belt 61.
  • the entire holding device 2 is displaced on the rails 42, 43 via a lifting cylinder 63, not shown in FIG. 5, which is indicated in FIG. 3.
