Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Abnahme von Bogen von einem Stapel und zum Transport der Bogen weg vom Stapel mit einem Zahnriemen, der in Zahneingriff endlos um wenigstens ein Umlenkrad und ein Saugrad geführt ist und der in gleichen Abständen angeordnete Durchbrüche aufweist, mit einer Vielzahl von im Saugrad ausgebildeten Anschlußleitungen, deren eine Mündungen auf einer Stirnfläche des Saugrads auf einem zum Saugrad konzentrischen Kreis liegen und deren andere Mündungen an der Umfangsfläche des Saugrads in Winkelabständen für eine Fluchtung mit den Durchbrüchen im Zahnriemen vorgesehen sind, und mit einem mit einer Vakuumwelle verbindbaren Vakuumblock, der einen Vakuumkanal aufweist, welcher der einen Stirnfläche des Saugrads so zugeordnet ist, daß er bei drehendem Saugrad mit der Anschlußleitung in Vakuumkontakt kommt.The invention relates to a device for removing sheets from a stack and to transport the sheets away from the stack with a toothed belt that meshes endlessly by at least a deflection wheel and a suction wheel is guided and in the same Has spaced openings, with a variety of connecting lines formed in the suction wheel, one of which Mouths on an end face of the suction wheel on a Suction wheel are concentric circle and their other mouths on the peripheral surface of the suction wheel at angular intervals for one Alignment with the openings in the toothed belt are provided, and with a vacuum block that can be connected to a vacuum shaft, which has a vacuum channel, which the one end face of the suction wheel is assigned so that it with the rotating suction wheel comes in vacuum contact with the connecting cable.

Bei einer solchen, aus der US-A-4 750 730 bekannten Vorrichtung hat die Anschlußleitung in dem Saugrad einen radialen Abschnitt, einen Kontakt mit der Vakuumkammer in dem Vakuumblock sowie zwei nebeneinander angeordnete radiale Abschnitte, die umfangseitig münden und denen entsprechende Durchbrechungen in dem Zahnriemen für eine fluchtende Ausrichtung zu ihnen zugeordnet sind. Die radiale Position des Vakuumblocks ist einstellbar.In such a device known from US-A-4,750,730 the connecting line in the suction wheel has a radial one Section, making contact with the vacuum chamber in the vacuum block and two radial sections arranged side by side, which open out on the circumference and corresponding openings in the timing belt for alignment are assigned to them. The radial position of the vacuum block is adjustable.

Da die radialen Abschitte der Anschlußleitungen einen relativ kleinen Querschnitt haben, wirkt das angelegte Vakuum relativ stark auf die abzuhebenden Bogen, wodurch es zu Markierungen kommen kann. Da der Zahnriemen auf seiner ganzen Breite auf dem Saugrad läuft, kann es zu axialen Verschiebungen kommen.Since the radial sections of the connecting lines are relative have a small cross-section, the vacuum applied has a relative effect heavily on the sheet to be lifted, causing it to mark can come. Because the timing belt on its entire width the suction wheel runs, there may be axial displacements.

Aus der EP-0 155 475 B1 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Abnahme von Bogen von einem Stapel und zum Transport der Bogen weg vom Stapel mit einem über Förderrollen endlos umlaufenden Zahnriemen bekannt, der zwischen zwei benachbarten Zähnen jeweils wenigsten einen Durchbruch aufweist. Vorrichtungsseitig ist ein Führungsblock festgelegt, der eine Führungsfläche mit einer Nut aufweist, deren Tiefe bis zum Nutboden im wesentlichen der Stärke des Zahnriemens und deren Weite im wesentlichen seiner Breite entspricht, so daß zwischen benachbarten Zähnen und den Nutenseitenwänden Kammern begrenzt sind. Der Führungsblock ist zur Verbindung mit einer Vakuumquelle mit einer Saugöffnung versehen, an die eine sich in Bogentransportrichtung erstreckende, den Durchbrechungen zugeordnete Ausnehmung angeschlossen ist.EP-0 155 475 B1 describes a device for removing Sheets from a stack and to transport the sheets away from Stack with a toothed belt that runs endlessly over conveyor rollers known that between two adjacent teeth each at least has a breakthrough. Is on the device side a guide block is defined that has a guide surface has a groove whose depth to the bottom of the groove essentially the thickness of the timing belt and its width essentially corresponds to its width, so that between neighboring Teeth and the groove side wall chambers are limited. The Guide block is for connection to a vacuum source with a suction opening, to which one is in the sheet transport direction extending, assigned to the openings Recess is connected.

Der bei einer solchen Vorrichtung eingesetzte Zahnriemen hat einen geringen Reibwert gegenüber Papier und erfordert deshalb ein relativ kräftiges Vakuum. Die Zahnriemen haben ein ausgeglichenes Verhältnis zwischen den Nuten und den dazwischen liegenden Zähnen und eine relativ große Nuttiefe. Diese Nutgeometrie in Verbindung mit dem kräftigen Vakuum kann zu Markierungen auf dem angesaugten und transportierten Bogen führen. Die Zahnriemen laufen mit ihrem Rücken über scheibenartige Antriebs- und Umlenkräder und sind deshalb nur schwer in ihrer Bahn zu halten. Ein solcher instabiler Zahnriemenlauf führt beim unvermeidlichen seitlichen Anlaufen zu starkem Verschleiß des Zahnriemens.The toothed belt used in such a device has a low coefficient of friction compared to paper and therefore requires a relatively strong vacuum. The timing belts have a balanced one Relationship between the grooves and the in between lying teeth and a relatively large groove depth. This groove geometry in connection with the powerful vacuum can Markings on the sucked and transported sheet to lead. The toothed belts run with their backs over disc-like ones Drive and deflection wheels and are therefore difficult to keep on their course. Such an unstable timing belt run leads to strong inevitable lateral starting Wear of the timing belt.

Aus dem DE 87 06 576 U1 ist ferner eine Vorrichtung zur Abnahme von Bogen von einem Stapel und zum Transport der Bogen vom Stapel mit Hilfe eines wie vorstehend beschrieben aufgebauten Zahnriemens bekannt, bei welcher bogenseitig ein Umlenkrad mit großem Durchmesser in Form von zwei parallelen, im Abstand angeordneten Scheiben vorgesehen ist, zwischen denen sich der Führungsblock mit der Vakuumleitung erstreckt. Mit dieser Vorrichtung lassen sich auch kurze Bogen von einem Flachstapel, deren Hinterkante mit einem Saugheber zusammenwirkt, oder von einem steil aufgelegten Schrägstapel abnehmen und abtransportieren.DE 87 06 576 U1 is also a device for acceptance of sheets from a stack and to transport the sheets from the stack using one constructed as described above Timing belt known, in which a deflection wheel on the arc side with large diameter in the form of two parallel, in Distance arranged disks is provided between which the guide block extends with the vacuum line. With This device can also be used for short sheets of one Flat stack, the rear edge of which interacts with a suction lifter, or remove from a steep inclined stack and transport it away.

Die der Erfindung zugrunde liegende Aufgabe besteht nun darin, die Vorrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art so auszugestalten, daß ohne Markierungsgefahr für die Bogen der Verschleiß am Zahnriemen weitgehend reduziert wird.The object of the invention is now to to design the device of the type described in the introduction, that with no risk of marking the bow of wear on the toothed belt is largely reduced.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von der Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß für den Zahneingriff zwischen Zahnriemen und Saugrad an diesem umfangsseitig zwei Zahnringe vorgesehen sind, von denen sich jeder von einer Stirnseite bis zu einem Mittelsteg erstreckt, der eine umfangsseitige Führungsbahn mit den anderen Mündungen der Anschlußleitungen bildet, daß die Zähne des Zahnriemens nur seitlich im Bereich der Zahnringe des Saugrades in Form von zwei Zahnringen vorgesehen sind und eine zwischen ihnen gebildete Führungsfläche mit der Führungsbahn des Saugrads in Kontakt kommt, wobei die Durchbrüche und die anderen Mündungen der Anschlußleitungen fluchten, daß die Durchbrüche in Nuten münden, die der Zahnteilung entsprechend in einer Schicht aus einem reibstarken Material ausgebildet sind, die auf der Seite des Zahnriemens angeordnet ist, die seiner die Zähne aufweisenden Seite gegenüberliegt und daß dem Saugrad in Zahnriemenlaufrichtung ein Führungsblock unmittelbar nachgeordnet ist, der eine Führungsbahn für einen Kontakt mit der Führungsfläche des Zahnriemens aufweist. This task is based on the device of the beginning mentioned type in that for the tooth engagement between Toothed belt and suction wheel on this circumference two Toothed rings are provided, each of which is different from one Front extends to a central web, which is a peripheral Guideway with the other mouths of the connecting lines that the teeth of the timing belt only laterally in the area of the toothed rings of the suction wheel in the form of two toothed rings are provided and one formed between them Guide surface with the guideway of the suction wheel in Contact comes, with the breakthroughs and the other mouths the connecting lines are aligned so that the openings in grooves flow out according to the tooth pitch in one layer a high-friction material are formed on the side of the toothed belt is arranged, that of the teeth Side is opposite and that the suction wheel in the direction of the toothed belt a management block is immediately subordinate, which is a guideway for contact with the guiding surface of the timing belt.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann einerseits der Zahnriemen über einteilige Antriebs- und Umlenkräder geführt werden, d.h. er wird wie jeder Zahnriemen konventionell mit Bordscheiben geführt, was den Verschleiß sehr stark reduziert, während seine Reibkraft relativ groß ist. Andererseits kann die Geometrie der Kammern unabhängig von der Zahngeometrie gewählt werden. Durch die Optimierung der Geometrie der Kammern läßt sich zusammen mit der Reibkraftsteigerung das für das Abnehmen und Transportieren des Bogens erforderliche Vakuum verringern, wodurch die Ausbildung von Markierungen am Bogen weitgehend ausgeschlossen wird. Aufgrund des Führungsblocks erfolgt der Abbau der bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung von dem maximal anliegenden Vakuum erzeugten Ansaugkraft beim Weiterdrehen des Saugrades nicht abrupt, sondern verlangsamt, was ein ausreichendes Haften des Bogens für den Weitertransport gewährleistet, aber auch ein Ausrichten des Bogens zuläßt, wenn dieser gegen ein seitliches Lineal geführt wird.In the device according to the invention, on the one hand, the Toothed belt guided over one-piece drive and deflection wheels become, i.e. like every toothed belt, it will be conventional with Flanged discs, which greatly reduces wear, while its frictional force is relatively large. On the other hand, can the geometry of the chambers independent of the tooth geometry to get voted. By optimizing the geometry of the chambers can together with the increase in friction force for the removal and transportation of the sheet required Reduce vacuum, causing the formation of marks on the Arc is largely excluded. Because of the guide block takes place in the device according to the invention of the maximum suction force generated not abruptly when turning the suction wheel, but slows down, which is a sufficient adhesion of the bow for the Further transport guaranteed, but also an alignment of the Permits arch if it runs against a side ruler becomes.

Ein geringfügiges Anheben des vom Stapel abgenommenen Bogens läßt sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung dadurch erreichen, daß das Umlenkrad und der Führungsblock an einer Platte angeordnet sind, die um die Saugradachse verschwenkbar angeordnet ist, und zwar zweckmäßigerweise aus der Horizontalen in der Drehrichtung des Saugrads.Slightly lifting the sheet removed from the stack can be achieved in the device according to the invention by that the guide wheel and the guide block on a plate are arranged, which are arranged pivotable about the suction wheel axis is, and expediently from the horizontal in the direction of rotation of the suction wheel.

Die in der Zeichnung gezeigte Vorrichtung zur Abnahme von Bogen 21 von einem Stapel 22 und zum Transport der Bogen 21 weg vom Stapel 22 hat einen Zahnriemen 1, der endlos um wenigsten ein Umlenkrad 8 und ein Saugrad 7 geführt ist.The device shown in the drawing for the removal of Sheet 21 from a stack 22 and for transporting sheets 21 away from the stack 22 has a toothed belt 1 that is endless at least a deflection wheel 8 and a suction wheel 7 is guided.

Der Zahnriemen 1 hat auf seiner einen Seite eine sich in seiner Längsrichtung erstreckende Führungsfläche 3, an die an jeder Seite ein Zahnring 2 angrenzt. Die Zähne der beiden Zahnringe 2 sind fluchtend paarweise in gleichen Abständen, d.h. mit vorgegebener Zahnteilung, angeordnet. Auf der der Seite mit den Zahnringen 2 gegenüberliegenden Seite hat der Zahnriemen 1 eine Polyurethanschicht 4, die entsprechend der Zahnteilung mit Nuten 5 versehen ist. Jede der Nuten 5 ist über einen Durchbruch 6 mit der Führungsfläche 3 verbunden.The toothed belt 1 has one on one side its longitudinal direction extending guide surface 3 to which a toothed ring 2 adjoins each side. The teeth of the two Toothed rings 2 are aligned in pairs at equal intervals, i.e. with a predetermined tooth pitch. On the the The side with the toothed rings 2 has the opposite side Toothed belt 1 is a polyurethane layer 4, which corresponds to the Tooth pitch is provided with grooves 5. Each of the grooves is 5 connected to the guide surface 3 via an opening 6.

Das Saugrad 7 hat an seinem Umfang einen Mittelsteg 13, an den jeweils ein Zahnring 9 angrenzt, der sich zur jeweiligen Stirnfläche des Saugrades 7 hin erstreckt, wobei die Zahnteilung für ein Kämmen mit den Zähnen der Zahnringe 2 des Zahnriemens 1 ausgelegt ist.The suction wheel 7 has a central web 13 on its circumference each has a tooth ring 9 adjacent to each other End face of the suction wheel 7 extends, the tooth pitch for meshing with the teeth of the toothed rings 2 of the toothed belt 1 is designed.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Umlenkrad 8 mit Zähnen auf seiner Umfangsfläche versehen, die mit denen der Zahnringe 2 des Zahnriemens 1 kämmen, wodurch die Geradführung des Zahnriemens 1 gewährleistet ist, der entweder vom Umlenkrad 8 oder vom Saugrad 7 angetrieben wird, welche an einem nicht gezeigten Maschinenrahmen gelagert sind. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the deflection wheel 8 is included Teeth on its circumferential surface that match those of Comb the toothed rings 2 of the toothed belt 1, which results in straight guidance of the toothed belt 1 is guaranteed, either from the deflection wheel 8 or driven by the suction wheel 7, which on a machine frame not shown are stored.

Von der einen Stirnfläche 15 des Saugrads 7 aus erstrecken sich Anschlußleitungen 14, deren Mündungen auf einem zum Saugrad 7 konzentrischen Kreis liegen. Die Anschlußleitungen 14 bestehen jeweils aus einer axialen Sackbohrung und einer radialen Sackbohrung, die ineinander übergehen, wobei die radiale Sackbohrung in der Umfangsfläche des Mittelsteges 13 dort endet, wo sich jeweils ein Durchbruch 6 des Zahnriemens 1 befindet. Der Mittelsteg 13 des Saugrads 7 hat eine umfangsseitige Führungsbahn 10, auf der die Führungsfläche 3 des Zahnriemens 1 aufliegt, wenn die Zähne der Zahnringe 9 des Saugrads 7 mit den Zähnen der Zahnringe 2 des Zahnriemens 1 kämmen.Extend from one end face 15 of suction wheel 7 themselves connecting lines 14, the mouths of which on a Suction wheel 7 are concentric circle. The connecting lines 14 each consist of an axial blind bore and one radial blind bore that merge into one another, the radial blind hole in the circumferential surface of the central web 13 ends where there is an opening 6 of the toothed belt 1 located. The central web 13 of the suction wheel 7 has a circumferential side Guideway 10 on which the guide surface 3 of the Timing belt 1 rests when the teeth of the toothed rings 9 of the Suction wheel 7 with the teeth of the toothed rings 2 of the toothed belt 1 comb.

An der einen Stirnfläche 15 des Saugrads 7 ist auf der dem Stapel 22 zugewandten Seite ein Vakuumblock 16 angeordnet, der einen Vakuumkanal 17 aufweist, der mit einer durch einen Pfeil gekennzeichneten Vakuumquelle 12 taktgesteuert verbindbar ist. Bei in Richtung des Pfeils 18 von Fig. 1 umlaufendem Saugrad 7 kommen die Anschlußleitungen 14 nacheinander in Kontakt mit dem Vakuumkanal 17 des Vakuumblocks 16, wodurch jeweils der oberste Bogen 21 des Stapels 22 zum Zahnriemen 1 anspringt und von diesem abtransportiert wird.On one end face 15 of the suction wheel 7 is on the Stack 22 facing side a vacuum block 16 arranged has a vacuum channel 17, which with an arrow marked vacuum source 12 can be connected in a clock-controlled manner. With the suction wheel 7 rotating in the direction of arrow 18 of FIG. 1 the connecting lines 14 come into contact with one another the vacuum channel 17 of the vacuum block 16, whereby the top sheet 21 of the stack 22 starts to the timing belt 1 and is transported away from it.

Der Vakuumblock 16 ist in und gegen die Drehrichtung des Saugrades 7 verschwenkbar, was durch einen Doppelpfeil 19 veranschaulicht ist. Durch entsprechendes Verschwenken des Vakuumblocks 16 läßt sich die Ansaugstelle 24 für den jeweils obersten Bogen 21 des Stapels 22 vor- oder nachstellen.The vacuum block 16 is in and against the direction of rotation Suction wheel 7 pivotable, which is indicated by a double arrow 19 is illustrated. By swiveling the Vacuum blocks 16 can be the suction point 24 for each position or adjust the top sheet 21 of the stack 22.

In Laufrichtung des Zahnriemens 1 ist dem Saugrad 7 unmittelbar ein Führungsblock 11 mit einer Führungsfläche 23 nachgeordnet. Der Führungsblock 11 ist so nahe wie möglich am Saugrad 7 angeordnet, so daß sich die vom Vakuum bedingte, auf den Bogen 21 wirkende Ansaugkraft zwischen der Ansaugstelle 24 von Fig. 1 bis zur Führungsfläche 23 des Führungsblocks nur soweit verringert, daß der Abtransport des Bogens 21 längs des Führungsblocks 11 gewährleistet bleibt, dessen Führungsfläche 23 den bzw. die Durchbrüche 6 verschließt und somit das Restvakuum in den Nuten 5 aufrechterhält. Dieses Restvakuum ist etwa 1/6 des Vakuums an der Ansaugstelle 24, so daß ein seitliches Ausrichten des Bogens 21 an einem Lineal oder dergleichen durch Verschieben an der Führungsfläche 23 des Führungsblocks 11 möglich ist, ohne daß die für den Transport erforderliche Haftkraft verlorengeht.In the running direction of the toothed belt 1, the suction wheel 7 is immediate a guide block 11 with a guide surface 23 is arranged downstream. The guide block 11 is as close to the Suction wheel 7 arranged so that the conditional on the vacuum the suction force acting on the bow 21 between the suction point 24 from Fig. 1 to the guide surface 23 of the guide block only reduced so far that the removal of the sheet 21 along the Guide block 11 remains guaranteed, the guide surface 23 closes the opening (s) 6 and thus the residual vacuum maintained in the grooves 5. This residual vacuum is about 1/6 of the vacuum at the suction point 24, so that a lateral Aligning the sheet 21 on a ruler or the like by sliding on the guide surface 23 of the guide block 11 is possible without the necessary for transportation Adhesion is lost.

Beim taktgesteuerten Anlegen eines Vakuums von der Vakuumquelle 12 über den Vakuumkanal 16 und die damit in Verbindung stehende Anschlußleitung 14 wird dieses über den Durchbruch 6 aufgrund der Verzahnungen der Zahnringe 9 und 2 phasenrichtig auf die Nuten 5 übertragen, wodurch der oben liegende Bogen 21 des Stapels 22 an den Zahnriemen 1 anspringt und längs des Führungsblocks 11 gehalten wird. Die Taktsteuerung erfolgt so, daß abhängig von der gewünschten Bogenfolge die entsprechende Anschlußleitung 14 mit Vakuum beaufschlagt wird, beispielsweise jede, jede zweite, jede dritte Anschlußleitung 14, usw.When applying a vacuum from the vacuum source 12 via the vacuum channel 16 and the associated standing connection line 14 this is through the opening 6th due to the toothing of the toothed rings 9 and 2 in phase transferred to the grooves 5, whereby the upper sheet 21st of the stack 22 starts on the toothed belt 1 and along the Guide block 11 is held. The clock control is done so that depending on the desired sequence of sheets the corresponding one Connection line 14 is subjected to vacuum, for example every, every second, every third connecting line 14, etc.
