Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a de-stacking device allowing to supply one by one each of the cards of a pile.
  • These cards are, for example, tickets pre-cut in cardboard or plastic.
  • Unstacking devices are conventionally designed to stack a stack from the bottom.
  • a mechanism for unstacking is at the bottom of the stack.
  • This mechanism includes a reference plane on which the cards come naturally in plan support by gravity and under pressure from others cards and a possible pressing device. Because the cards are always presented in the same way when pressed on the reference plane, these cards can easily be unstacked by any conventional unstacking mechanism, such as with an adherent roller or with a claw animated by a back-and-forth movement.
  • Such bottom stacking devices are suitable perfectly in devices that have enough to place the stack of cards that extends to the high from a card dispensing hole.
  • top stacking devices manufactured by CGA and installed in the Hong subway Kong. These devices require the use of cards in plastic material having a low coefficient of friction. In addition, to ensure parallelism between the top of the stack and the base of the stack, the cards are provided with extra thicknesses compensation. As a result, cards are expensive and you can stack less on a given height.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device for unstacking a stack of cards from above which can work properly even if the top of the stack is not parallel to the base of the stack.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a de-stacking device which can function properly with any type of card, especially paper hardcover.
  • a device for unstacking of a stack of cards comprising a destacking arranged at the top of the stack and articulated according to first and second perpendicular and substantially parallel axes at the top of the pile.
  • a pressing device applies the top of the stack against the de-stacking mechanism.
  • the destacking mechanism includes a claw articulated on the first axis, and moving along it with a movement back and forth.
  • a sector is articulated on the first axis and arranged to receive by a slot the driven cards by the claw.
  • a support to which the first is attached axis is articulated with respect to a frame on the second axis.
  • the pressing device comprises a carriage biased by a spring against the bottom of the stack.
  • the first axis is offset from the center of the vertex of the pile and the claw and the die extend partially over the dimension of the maps perpendicular to the first axis.
  • the claw comprises a support plane comprising a parallel part at the top of the pile and a plane slightly inclined towards the high starting from the parallel part towards the inside of the summit from the stack.
  • a stack of cards 10 is in press from below on a pressing carriage 12.
  • the pressing carriage 12 slides in a recess 14-1 of a frame 14 of an apparatus distributor. This recess is used to store and guide the stack cards 10 to a destacking mechanism 15 according to the invention disposed at the top of the stack.
  • a spring 16, in support on the frame 14, urges the carriage 12 upwards, to apply the top of the stack 10 center the mechanism destacking 15.
  • the destacking mechanism is articulated with respect to the frame along two perpendicular axes, respectively parallel to the two axes of the maps.
  • a first axes, 18, is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the maps and the second axis 19 is parallel to the transverse axis of the cards.
  • the destacking mechanism 15 self-adjusts so as to be parallel to the top of the stack of cards 10. The destacking mechanism then performs its function in the appropriate conditions.
  • the mechanism de-stacking system is a claw 21 and die 22 system.
  • claw 21 is mounted on the axis 18 near a first upper edge of stack 10 (left) and die 22 is mounted on axis 18 near the opposite upper edge (at right).
  • Claw 21 is likely to slide along axis 18 between a rest position (shown in dotted lines) at the edge of the stack 10 and an ejection position (shown in solid line) inside the top of the stack.
  • the axis 18 is integral with a support 24 which is itself articulated on the axis 19 relative to the frame 14.
  • the claw 21 has a support plane 21-1 on which is pressed against the left side of the top of the stack when the claw 21 is in its rest position. This provision allows to orient the claw 21 properly around the axis 18 by compared to the left edge of the top of the stack 10.
  • the claw 21 has a heel 21-2 extending downward from the plane support 21-1 along the left side of the stack, in the position rest of the claw.
  • the heel height 21-2 is substantially equal to the thickness of a card. So if claw 21 is moves from its rest position, dotted, to its position ejection, it hooks the left edge of the upper card of the stack and drag it with it. Returning to its position rest, the claw 21 has no action on the cards.
  • the die 22 is intended to let pass only one only card in case a second card is driven by friction by the first.
  • the die 22 includes a support plane 22-1 on which is pressed a right part of the top of the stack 10. This arrangement makes it possible to orient the die 22 around the axis 18 relative to the right edge of the top of the pile 10.
  • the support surfaces of the claw and the die are located slightly below the underside of the support 24, so that the claw and the die can be properly oriented by their contact with the top of the stack 10.
  • the die 22 further comprises a part 22-2 extending downward from the support plane 22-1 along the right side of the stack.
  • This extension 22-2 includes a slot in extension of the support surface 22-1 whose width is substantially equal to the thickness of the cards 10.
  • FIG. 1A the claw 21 is shown in position ejection.
  • the claw resulted in a 10-1 card that crosses die slot 22 and projects to the right of mechanism.
  • the 10-1 card can then be entered manually by a dispenser orifice (not shown) or by a device drive roller or rollers (not shown).
  • the back and forth movement between the rest position and the claw ejection position 21 is obtained by a pin 26 which cooperates with a groove 21-3 at the top of the claw 21, this groove being parallel to the axis 19.
  • the crank pin 26 is driven by a motor 28 integral with the support 24.
  • the axis 18 is offset from the longitudinal axis of the cards 10, the claw 21 and the die 22 not extending over the entire width of the cards.
  • the axis 18 is located at the magnetic tracks, if cards have it. This arrangement allows the system de-stacking to effectively process cards that would be curved around their longitudinal axis.
  • the pressing carriage 12 is hollowed out at its central part facing stack 10, which allows preferentially to apply the cards against the claw 21 and the die 22 to compensate for a curvature of the cards around their transverse axis. Treatment is even more effective if the support surface of the claw 21 comprises, as shown in FIG. 1A, a horizontal part in the vicinity of the heel 21-2 and a plane slightly inclined upwards going of this horizontal part to the right.
  • FIG. 1C represents the die 22 seen according to a arrow C in Figure 1A.
  • the die slot starts from one edge from it and stops before arriving at the opposite edge.
  • the part 22-3 without slot of the die 22, so as not to present an obstacle to the cards driven by the claw 21, is offset from the card path, as shown in Figure 1B.
  • the claw and the die can each be mounted on an axis separate longitudinal, or even on separate supports including each one is articulated independently on the frame.
