Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a device for feeding cardboard sheets to processing machines, said device being provided with means for picking up a stack of cardboard sheets from a feed conveyor and for tilting and delivering said stack to a discharge conveyor feeding the cardboard sheets to a processing machine, said means for picking up and tilting a stack of cardboard sheets comprising a belt conveyor, which is pivotable through at least 90°, from a vertical position for picking up a stack of cardboard sheets into a discharge position, in which the belt conveyor extends in the direction of the discharge conveyor, whilst clamping means are connected to the belt conveyor for clamping down the stack of carboard sheets between said clamping means, whereby at least those clamping means which are located downstream, when seen in the direction of movement of the cardboard sheets from the belt conveyor towards the discharge conveyor, can be removed from the path of movement of the cardboard sheets.
- Such a device is known from EP-A-0,329,925.
- In this known device the means for picking up a stack of cardboard sheets are pivotable about a fixed horizontal pivot pin, which is spaced by some distance from the bottom side of the stack of cardboard sheets supplied by means of the feed conveyor. Upon pivoting of the stack of cardboard sheets supplied by means of the feed conveyor the bottom edge of the stack of cardboard sheets directed towards the feed conveyor will consequently move in a circular arc in the direction of the feed conveyor. This implies that a next stack of cardboard sheets supplied by means of the feed conveyor must be kept spaced from the stack of cardboard sheets picked up by the means for picking up and tilting a stack of cardboard sheets. This requires the use of a complicated construction of the feed conveyor. A further disadvantage of this construction is that successive stacks of cardboard sheets cannot support each other, which constitutes a drawback when cardboard sheets having smaller dimensions are being processed, since non-supported stacks, which may have a height of 1200 - 2000 mm, will become unstable thereby.
- According to the invention means are provided for reciprocating the upstream end of the belt conveyor in at least substantially vertical direction, whilst the belt conveyor is supported between its ends by a coupling means, which is pivotable about horizontal pivot pins with respect to the belt conveyor and with respect to a fixed point.
- When using the construction according to the invention successive stacks of cardboard sheets can be supplied in abutting relationship to the means for picking up and tilting a stack of cardboard sheets, so that a simple construction of the feed conveyor can be used. In addition to that the stacks of cardboard sheets supplied on the feed conveyor may support each other, as a result of which also a quick processing of stacks of cardboard sheets having smaller dimensions can be realised.
- The invention will be explained in more detail hereafter with reference to a possible embodiment of the construction according to the invention diagrammatically illustrated in the accompanying Figures.
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic side view of a device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 is a larger-scale, diagrammatic side view of the belt conveyor.
- Figure 3 is a diagrammatic plan view of a part of the feed conveyor and supporting means for the stacks of cardboard sheets to be supplied.
- The device shown in Figure 1 comprises a frame 1, near whose bottom side an
endless belt conveyor 2 is arranged, by means of which stacks 4 of cardboard sheets, arranged one behind the other, can be moved in the direction according to the arrow A. - Vertically extending supporting
arms 5 are provided so as to support thestacks 4 arranged one behind the other. Thearms 5 are coupled to a horizontally extendingbridge 6, which is supported in the frame 1 by means oftrolley carriages 7 in such a manner, that back supports 5 are movable within the frame, in the direction according to arrow A and opposite thereto. - Furthermore the
back supports 5 are movable along thebridge 6 by means oflead screws 8, which can be driven by means of motors 9, so as to adjust the spacing between the back supports 5 to the width of astack 4 of cardboard sheets. -
Sliding strips 10, extending parallel to each other and being in line with the upper part of thebelt conveyor 2, are provided near the discharge end of thebelt conveyor 2, whilstelongated recesses 11, extending in the longitudinal direction of the belt conveyor 3, are present between said sliding strips (Figure 3). - Near the discharge end of the feed conveyor 2 a
belt conveyor 12 is provided, which is built up of a plurality of spaced-apart belts 13, which are passed over twodrums motor 16. - The end of the
belt conveyor 12 comprising thedrum 14 is located between two spaced-apartuprights 17 of the frame 1 and can be moved up and down, by means not shown, such as lead screws or the like, along saiduprights 17, as indicated by means of the arrow B. In addition to that thebelt conveyor 12 is supported between its ends by acoupling rod 18, which is pivotally connected to thebelt conveyor 12 with one end and to the floor with its other end. - During the reciprocating movement of the end of the
belt conveyor 12 guided between thevertical frame beams 17 thecoupling rod 18 will pivot in the manner indicated by the arrow C. As a result of this arrangement thebelt conveyor 12 can be pivoted between a vertical position, in which thebelt conveyor 12 is located between theframe beams 17, when seen in Figure 1, and a position in which thebelt conveyor 12 will slope downwards from its end located between theframe beams 17, as illustrated in Figure 1. - As is illustrated in more detail in Figure 2, clamping means are provided near the end of the belt conveyor guided by the
frame beams 17, said clamping means being formed by a plurality offingers 19 located between thebelts 13, which fingers extend perpendicularly to the parts of thebelts 13 extending parallel to each other, as will be apparent from Figure 2. Thefingers 19 are thereby guided inguide bushes 20, so as to be movable in longitudinal direction, and can be locked in a desired position with respect to saidguide bushes 20 by clamping means (not shown). The construction is thereby such that in the vertical position of thebelt conveyor 12 thefingers 19 are located inrecesses 11 present between thesliding plates 10. - The distance along which the
fingers 19 project on the left-hand side of thebelts 13, when seen in Figure 2, will be adapted to the depth, when seen in the longitudinal direction of thebelt conveyor 2, of astack 4 to be picked up. - At least one
air cylinder 21 is coupled to the frame of thebelt conveyor 12, by means of which air cylinder a sliding block 22 can be reciprocated along guide means 23, in a direction parallel to the parts of thebelts 13 extending parallel to each other. - A
shaft 24 is coupled to the sliding block 22, a plurality of clamping means 25 in the shape of fingers being secured to said shaft, which fingers can be pivoted to and fro, by means of a motor (not shown) mounted on the sliding piece 22, between the position illustrated in full lines in Figure 2 and the position illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 2, as is indicated by means of the arrow D. - As is furthermore shown in Figure 1, the device is furthermore provided with a
discharge conveyor 26, which is arranged in such a manner, that in the position of thebelt conveyor 12 illustrated in Figure 1 the downstream end of thebelt conveyor 12 is located above thedischarge conveyor 26. Near the downstream end of thedischarge conveyor 12, above thebelt conveyor 26, bumper means 27 are arranged on either side of the belt conveyor, to which a reciprocating vibrating motion can be imparted, perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing and to the longitudinal direction of thebelt conveyor 26, when seen in Figure 1. - The
belt conveyor 26 is intended to discharge cardboard sheets delivered to the belt conveyor in the direction according to the arrow E in the usual manner, towards aprocessing machine 27. - A clamping device is furthermore provided in the frame 1, said clamping device being provided with a setting
cylinder 28 and aclamping plate 29, which can be pressed, by means of the settingcylinder 28, against the upper face of astack 4 of cardboard sheets located near the downstream end of thebelt conveyor 2. - A batch of cardboard sheets to be fed to the
processing machine 27 can be placed on thefeed conveyor 2, by conveying means not shown, in the form of a number ofstacks 4 of cardboard sheets located one behind the other, after the supportingbeams 5 have first been moved apart sufficiently to allow the stack to pass. Then the supportingbeams 5 can be placed against the rear side of therearmost stack 4, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, so as to prevent saidrearmost stack 4 from falling over, in the direction indicated by the arrow A, when the stacks are being moved. - The
stacks 4 will be moved in the direction according to the arrow A in steps, each time in such a manner that the foremost stack is moved on to thesliding plates 10, whilst thebelt conveyor 12 is in its vertical position and thelowermost clamping fingers 19 will therefore be located in therecesses 11, so that the stack will also come to rest on said clampingfingers 19. Then the clampingfingers 25 can be pulled against the upper face of the respective stack, so that the stack is clamped down between theclamping fingers - The stack located directly adjacent thereto is thereby clamped down as a result of the press-down action of the
stamp 29, so that when thebelt conveyor 12 is subsequently pivoted from its vertical position into the position shown in Figure 1 together with the stack clamped down between the clamping means 19 and 25, also the foremost stack remaining behind on thebelt conveyor 12 will remain upright. - After the
belt conveyor 12 has reached the position shown in Figure 1, theclamping fingers 25 will be pivoted into the position illustrated in dotted lines in Figure 2, after which theendless belts 13 forming part of thebelt conveyor 12 can be set moving, so as to discharge the stack present on thebelt conveyor 12 into the direction of thedischarge conveyor 26. It will be apparent that the cardboard sheets, seen in Figure 1, will automatically fall over in clockwise direction thereby, so that said cardboard sheets will come to lie on thebelt conveyor 26 in overlapping relationship, as indicated in Figure 1, and be discharged in the direction according to the arrow E by means of thebelt conveyor 26. The cardboard sheets thereby move between the reciprocating bumper means 27 disposed near the sides of thedischarge conveyor 26, said bumper means effecting a correct alignment of the cardboard sheets delivered to theconveyor 26. - After the cardboard sheets have been discharged from the
belt conveyor 12 said belt conveyor may be returned to its vertical position, after which thestamp 29 can be moved up slightly by means of thesetting cylinder 28, so as to be able to effect a movement of thestacks 4 in the direction according to the arrow A by means of thebelt conveyor 2 again. - In practice it has become apparent that in this manner also high stacks of cardboard sheets, which have a relatively small dimension, when measured in the direction of displacement according to the arrow A, can be processed in a stable and fast manner, without there being a risk of the stacks e.g. falling over on the
belt conveyor 2 or losing their intended cohesion in any other manner.
