Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of unloading one or more several reams of leaves, in particular leaves of securities, from an output of a machine belonging to a facility for the production of securities and a device for unloading one or more oars from leaves.
  • machine for the production of securities, it include printing machines, numbering machines and control machines quality of securities.
  • intaglio printing papers intended for to be printed are brought to the machine entrance one after the other and receive prints either single-sided or double-sided. The sheets are finally sent in the output of the printing machine.
  • the output of the paper production machines generally have at least two shelves and their filling is carried out as follows: a board in the form of a tray or pallet is introduced on horizontal rails in one of the shelves, rails which are mounted on a paternoster type system. The tray then receives the printed sheets until than a train of a certain size, for example five hundred leaves, either incorporated. At that moment, the other shelf, in which a tray has been previously introduced, is selected for new printed sheets arriving in the exit, while the slides and the tray carrying the ream of leaves from the first shelf are shifted down. A new tray is introduced on the rails of the first shelf and sheets printed will be stacked on this tray as soon as this shelf will be selected, i.e.
  • Patent application EP 0 725 027 describes an example of filling the shelves of a machine printing. In this request, the oars are finally transferred from the shelves to a cart and taken away.
  • Emptying an exit shelf is an operation that is currently still done manually, operation during which the plates supporting the reams of sheets are removed from the shelf and transferred on a cart. This transfer is made for all trays of one shelf, each shelf generally containing ten trays, and once the cart is filled with the ten trays of the shelf he is taken either to a other production machine either to a storage location.
  • all the reams of leaves are transferred simultaneously from the tray shelf of the production machine in the container.
  • One of the advantages of the device according to the invention is that it is fully modular so it can stand fit on new production machines as well of securities only on machines already in service.
  • FIGS 1 to 4 show the principle of the automatic unloading.
  • Figure 5 is a front view of a container.
  • Figure 6 is a side view in partial section of a container.
  • Figure 7 is a bottom view of a container.
  • Figure 8 is a front view of the indexing system.
  • Figure 9 is a side view in axial section of the system indexing.
  • Figure 10 is a top view of the indexing system.
  • Figure 11 is a top view in partial section horizontal transfer system.
  • Figure 12 is a sectional front view of the transfer.
  • Figure 13 is a side view of the transfer system.
  • a tray shelf 31 of a machine 34 for the production of securities is provided with the means to positioning and blocking 20 and a pusher 41 which will be described in more detail below.
  • a first tray 32 is introduced into shelf 31.
  • a container 1 closed and having a door 6 is brought in front of the exit of the tray shelf 31.
  • the positioning and blocking 20 is retracted.
  • the pusher 41 is retracted to the bottom of the tray shelf 31.
  • the machine 34 is in production: the printed sheets arrive at the top of the tray shelf 31 driven by a clamp chain system and they are released in the shelf.
  • the shelf shelf 31 is filled with reams of leaves 36 on the trays 32, all of the plates shifting downwards when new tray is introduced on the top slides the shelf 31.
  • the container 1 is positioned relative to the tray shelf 31 of the production machine 34 and the pusher 41 is always in the retracted position.
  • the container 1 is adjusted by indexing and locked in relation to the tray shelf 31 of the production machine 34, door 6 of container 1 has been open and pusher 41 is currently transferring a set of ten trays 32, each carrying a train of sheets 36, by the open side of the tray shelf 31 in container 1, while an eleventh tray 32 is located at the very top in the tray shelf 31 receives printed sheets that will constitute a new row 35.
  • the door to container 1 is closed, the positioning and blocking 20 is removed and pusher 41 returns to bottom of the shelf 31.
  • the closed container 1 filled with oars of leaves 36 is taken on a pallet truck while the tray shelf 31 of the machine 34 fills with new of trays 32 and reams of sheets 36.
  • the container 1 is described with reference to Figures 5 to 7. It is fully closed and includes a supporting frame four side walls 2, 3, 4 and 5, one of which has a door 6 sliding vertically.
  • the container includes further horizontal slides 11, 12 facing each other in pairs to receive the trays 32 carrying the oars 36 sheets.
  • the vertical distance between the slides 11 and between the slides 12 corresponds to the vertical distance between the supports of the trays 32 in the shelf 31 of the production machine 34.
  • the container 1 also has four legs 8, 9, 14 and 15, a bottom 13 and a ceiling 10 fixed to the frame.
  • Gate 6 is wound on a support 16.
  • oars 36 on trays 32 are also shown.
  • the fixed walls of the shelf can be openwork.
  • the container frame is sufficiently rigid and solid to support a stack of several containers filled with oars of leaves.
  • the ceiling 10 includes means (not shown) for receiving the container feet when stacking them.
  • the positioning and blocking means 20 are described in reference to FIGS. 8 to 10.
  • These means 20 which are fixed above the tray shelf 31 of the machine 34 production of securities include a support 19 on which are mounted two positioning indexes 24, 25.
  • the support 19 is itself fixed on the tray shelf of the production machine 34 through guides vertical 22, 23, for example slide systems, allowing its displacement in the vertical direction, and this displacement is actuated by two pneumatic cylinders 21, 21 '.
  • the two indexes 24, 25 can in addition to being mounted on springs (not shown), this which compensates for the position of container 1 if the ground is not flat.
  • Means for opening and closing the door of the container are also fixed to the support 19. These means comprise at least one pneumatic motor 26, one opening and closing coach 27, a means of transmission between the motor 26 and the coach 27 and a torque limiter 30.
  • the positioning and blocking of the container 1 relative to a tray shelf 31 of a production machine 34 are carried out as follows: container 1 is brought in front of the opening of the tray shelf 31, either frontally or laterally, and the two feet 8, 9 from the machine side container 34 are fed into two cones corresponding to the ground (not shown) and fixed by compared to the shelf 31. By self-centering of the feet 8, 9 of container 1 in the cones, the position of this with respect to the tray shelf 31 is thus referenced.
  • the support 19 of the positioning system 20 is then lowered along the guides 22, 23, by means of the jacks tires 21, 21 'and the positioning indexes 24, 25 enter corresponding holes (not shown) of container 1. Once these indexes 24, 25 are place, the position of container 1 is blocked relative to the tray shelf 31 of the production machine 34 and the transfer of the plates 32 can take place.
  • the door opening and closing drive 27 must still be powered by a pneumatic motor 26 door opening and closing to open door 6 of container 1 by means of a belt, by example.
  • the container 1 also includes means allowing the opening of its door 6 from the outside.
  • a torque limiter 30 avoids overloading the motor 26.
  • a security finger 28 is added, this finger now the means of positioning and blockage in raised position in case the air supply compressed positioning and blocking means 20 is interrupted.
  • the index 25 is also represented in lines mixed in its lowered position, position which allows the container blocking.
  • This transfer system 40 includes a pusher 41 in the form of a vertical upright, two horizontal chassis 42 and 43 interconnected by a rail guide 44 on which the pusher 41 is fixed and moves. To drive the pusher 41 along the rail guide 44, the system also includes a ball screw 45 arranged parallel to the guide rail 44.
  • the screw balls 45 itself is, at one of its ends, connected to a notched transmission 48 connected to a motor 46 by through a transmission shaft 49 and a safety torque limiter 47.
  • the entire transmission system transfer 40 is mounted inside each shelf trays of a paper production machine and when the shelf must be emptied into a container, previously indexed and blocked as described above, a appropriate control starts the motor 46 which, by driving the ball screw 45 by the transmission, causes the pusher 41 along the guide rail 44. This displacement of pusher 41 transfers all the trays from the shelf to trays 31 in container 1 in a single pass. A Once the trays have been transferred, the rotation of the motor 46 is reversed and pusher 41 goes back along rail 44.
  • FIG. 12 two protective sheets 50, 51 are in besides shown, the sheet 51 making it possible to protect the motor 46 for driving the pusher 41.
  • a unit of command and control is used as well as means control, control means and means of transmission.
  • the command and control unit allows determine the commands to be executed, for example lowering the positioning and locking system, opening the door, moving the pusher, closing the door or releasing the container.
  • This unit can be a calculator.
  • the means of control allow to control that a command can be executed or has been executed. These means include for example position sensors associated with the mobile elements of the device.
  • Transmission means such as cables and pneumatic circuits, allow the transmission of commands from the command and control unit to the actuators and receive information from Control measures.
  • One of the advantages of the device according to the invention is that it is perfectly modular. Indeed, the system positioning can without other be placed on a machine production of existing securities since it suffices to mount it above the shelf and connect the pneumatic elements on the compressed air network already present on these production machines. On the other hand, the transfer system can be integrated into the shelves platforms of existing production machines.
  • the shelves of the production machine can also be fitted with a sliding door. This can only be opened when a container is indexed and locked and it will be closed after the container door. This construction makes it possible to create a sort of airlock for the printed sheets which will at no time be free to access.
  • the container door can be rolled up vertically on one side of the container rather than horizontally at the top of the container.
  • the container may also include a second door similar to the first and placed on the wall facing it. This would reduce handling of the container during unloading.
