Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a turning arrangement in a guiding system for sheets of sheet material, in particular for single sheets of paper in a single sheet printer with a paper guiding system, the guiding system containing switch elements which make it possible to use one or the other of the sheets as required other side of it up to a unit for further processing.
  • the invention further relates to a passive switch unit.
  • a sheet transport device is known from Patents Abstracts of Japan M-701 together with JP 62-290 668 A, which has three areas which are connected by transport paths.
  • An active switch unit and a passive switch unit enable single sheets coming from a first area to be fed either directly without turning or by means of the passive switch unit under turning to a third area.
  • a similar arrangement is also known from DE 37 27 555 AI.
  • DE 88 03 496 U1 describes a printer with a plurality of output channels for recording media. Single sheets are required via deflection elements in the printer. Extruded profiles are arranged close to the feed rollers and their contours lie relatively close to these rollers.
  • DE 39 14 183 AI also describes a transport device for paper sheets, with switch assemblies being used.
  • the conveyor track is formed by extruded profiles which are arranged close to conveyor rollers and whose contours correspond.
  • a transport device for paper in a copier is known from US Pat. No. 5,014,976.
  • a guide element with different curvatures is known in the feed path for single sheets. The single sheets are guided along these curves.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing a reliable turning arrangement and a passive switch unit with a simple structure.
  • the invention has a triangular arrangement of a first region or region of origin, a second region or target region and a third region or turning region, with which the transport direction is reversed.
  • a first region or region of origin In the target area, one obtains either sheets with one side facing upwards from the area of origin directly to the target area, or sheets with the other side facing upwards by moving indirectly from the area of origin via the reverse area, where their transport direction is reversed will be fed to the target area.
  • the combination of the triangular arrangement formed by the three regions with the reversal of the transport direction taking place in the reversal region thus enables the arches to be turned.
  • the invention requires only a few moving parts, is therefore simple in construction and can be produced with little effort.
  • the active switch unit is a controlled deflection element which, depending on the control, deflects the sheets transported from the origin area into the first path or into the second path.
  • the entire turning process of a sheet is thus achieved by a single, small, deflecting element, which greatly reduces the risk of paper jams in the turning device.
  • the passive switch unit only allows arcs to pass either along the second path from the origin area to the reversal area or along the third path from the reversal area to the destination area.
  • the arches have only two options for going through the turning arrangement, namely directly from the origin area to the target area or indirectly from the origin area via the reversal area to the target area, one side or the other of the arcs points up in the target area.
  • the reversing unit consists of a pair of counter-rotating rollers with a feed area between the rollers and a position detector for detecting the feed position of the sheets, wherein the pair of rollers can be operated in two directions for pulling in and pushing out the sheets in the opposite direction.
  • the position detector e.g. in the form of a light barrier, detects when the rear end of the curve has completely passed through the passive switch unit. Only then can the transport of the sheet in the forward direction be stopped and the transport direction reversed, whereby when the sheet is subsequently transported in the backward direction, the passive switch unit is passed through the bow differently due to its special shape than when the sheet is transported in the forward direction.
  • the different paths and the active as well as the passive switch unit are defined by means of extruded profiles lying opposite one another, which are fastened between two plates arranged in parallel.
  • one of the paired extruded profiles is arranged so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation running perpendicular to the transport direction of the sheets and m of the plane of the sheets and can be locked between the two plates arranged in parallel at the position defining the respective path. This pivoting some of the extruded profiles the turret assembly made light ⁇ a fast and easy access to all areas of the paper path and the switch units in case of paper jams.
  • a pair of rollers for transporting the sheets is arranged in each of the three areas with a position detector assigned to the respective pair of rollers for detecting the position of the sheets, the path length along the different paths between the respective pairs of rollers of the three areas is shorter than the length of the sheet to be transported. This ensures that a sheet to be transported through the paths is always between one of the roller pairs of the three areas and that its further transport is ensured.
  • a design of the turning arrangement is particularly expedient, in which the contours of the extruded profiles lie in the three regions close to the contours of the respective rolls. This minimizes the risk of paper jams in the area of the roller pairs when transitioning from one end of the channel to the next beginning of a path.
  • the contours of the extruded profiles and the rollers partially overlap, and projections of the extruded profiles engage in depressions in the rollers and / or projections of the rollers in the depressions of the extruded profiles. Due to this extremely close approach of the rolls to the extruded profiles, the "transfer" of the sheets from the channels to the transport rolls and vice versa from the Transport rollers to the channels are associated with an extremely low risk of paper jams.
  • the deflecting element of the active switch unit is essentially wedge-shaped, the tapering decision edge of the wedge being directed towards the path for the sheet hm transported to the turning arrangement and the wedge in the region of its base around a perpendicular to the transport ⁇ chtung the arc and to the plane of the sheet duri ⁇ parallel Fende axis of rotation is arranged to be pivotable between a first position and a second position, wherein the base of the wedge perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the wedge the area between the entrance regions m, the two paths for the target area or shielded to the reversal area shielded and the bends e are directed along the wedge surface m one way or the other according to the position of the deflecting element.
  • This configuration of the active or dynamic switch unit achieves an efficient and reliable switch function with little risk of paper jams. Due to the wedge shaped configuration of the deflecting element also occurring when moving the Umlenkele ⁇ ments dynamic forces are very small, whereby, for example, let realize a high switching frequency for the Umlenke- lement.
  • the passive switch unit has a fixed wedge with a decision edge, the tapering wedge being bent away from a path cb with respect to the bisector of the angle formed by the tangents to the two paths ac and cb in the region of the passive switch unit.
  • This special shape of the passive or static switch unit enables the paper to pass through the bulged part of this path in a curved manner on the way to the reversal area when paper is supplied from the active or dynamic switch unit along the path ac.
  • the extruded profile of the path ac is bulged in the area opposite the bent wedge, so that the gap width of the path ac between the extruded profile and the bent away wedge is essentially constant. This avoids a narrowing and thus an increased resistance for the arcs in the path ac.
