Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for forming and conveying sheet stacks in or out of a stacking tray, with a collection box that can be viewed from the front and rear, limited to the format length of the sheet stack adjustable stack stops is, as well as with a sheet-feeding transport path, which with a vertically movable Platform corresponds, which in the form of a separating screen synchronously with the withdrawal movement of a stack removal device in the sheet transport direction can be moved into the stacking tray.
  • the invention has for its object measures to optimize all To meet the individual requirements of the work result.
  • the vertically spaced apart Platform and transport track can be moved up and down together. To this The way is both when forming a new stack and when changing a stack an always the same discharge height of the fed in shingled formation Arch ensured.
  • a compact structural unit which facilitates both the perfect stack formation and the format adaptation is obtained in that the slide is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable on a slide carrier which is movable relative to the collecting box.
  • the platform can be displaced relative to the slide with a shortened or extended longitudinal stroke which is adapted according to the distance between the rear and front stacking stops.
  • an additional simplification and simplification of the landscape format setting is achieved in that the collection box has an exchangeable bottom bar equipped with support rakes, which is provided with lateral stacking stops which can be adjusted and locked in transverse guides.
  • the advantage achieved by the invention is that the format setting of the rear stacking stops means that the stack removal device traveling back and forth on the opposite side between the stacking tray and at the shortest possible distance can always carry out the shortest possible longitudinal stroke, which ensures optimal conveying capacity.
  • the economy is further improved by the format-dependent preselectable side stacking stops on completely ready, quickly exchangeable floor platforms of the collection box. The time required for a changeover is minimized by all the sheet guide and stacking components that can be adjusted depending on the format with a single slide movement.
  • the device has a stacking tray 1 for collecting paper sheets 2 to form sheet stacks 3, which is divided into numerous collecting boxes 4, one behind the other perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, and which - based on the sheet or stack transport direction (arrow 6) - upstream one Transport conveyor 7 designed as a belt conveyor for paper sheets 2 fed in a shingled formation and downstream a stack removal device 8 designed as a tong gripper 5 with subsequent transverse transport means 9, which have lifting and lowering transport belts 11 with integrated air table segments 12.
  • the stacking tray 1 is delimited by front stacking stops 13 and rear stacking stops 14, of which the former can be pivoted from a stop position according to FIG. 1b into an inoperative position according to FIG. 1a.
  • the rear stacking stops 14 are fastened to a slide 16 which can be displaced in the direction of the double arrow 15 and on which the transport track 7 and a platform 17 designed as a separating rake are also displaceably displaceable in the longitudinal direction relative to the slide 16 with a variable stroke.
  • the discharge end 18 of the transport path 7 is at a defined distance from the platform 17.
  • the carriage 16 is in turn slidably arranged on a carriage support 21 which can be moved vertically in the direction of the double arrow 19.
  • the collecting box 4 is equipped with a floor platform 22 which, according to FIGS. 3 and 4, is equipped with numerous parallel support rakes 23, which are fastened to a floor rail 24, which also carries lateral stacking stops 27 which can be adjusted and fixed in a format-dependent manner, including appropriate spacers 28 are inserted.
  • the floor platforms 22 are kept ready as a complete exchange group with format-dependent preset side stacking stops 27.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1d The operation of the device according to FIGS. 1a to 1d is as follows: According to FIG. 1a, a sheet stack 3 formed from a defined number of accumulated paper sheets 2 is gripped by the gripper 5 of the stack removal device 8 after the front stack stop 13 has been pivoted away and out in the conveying direction 6 of the stacking tray 1 is transferred to the transverse transport means 9, which either conveys the sheet stack according to FIG. 1b in the directions perpendicular to the plane of the drawing, indicated by the arrow symbols 29 and 31.
  • the platform 17 consisting of rows of rods follows the back of the sheet stack 3 as far as it will go against the stack stop 13 moved back to the stop position, the permanently scaled paper sheets 2 being simultaneously transferred to the platform 17 without interruption.
  • the carriage carrier 21 By moving the carriage carrier 21 in the direction of the double arrow 19 according to FIG. 1c, the platform 17 is lowered to the base platform 22 of the stacking tray 1 or, if appropriate, to below its level and withdrawn from the stacking tray 1 into the starting position according to FIG. 1d, so that the new sheet stack 3 is taken over by the floor platform 22.
  • the discharge end 18 of the transport path 7 is raised to the extent that the stack height of the sheet stack 3 increases, so that a constant discharge height for the paper sheets 2 is always guaranteed.
  • the longitudinal stroke of the platform 17 is in accordance with the longitudinal shortening of the stacking tray 1 adapted during the longitudinal stroke of the stack removal device 8 due to the always constant stroke limitation on the front stack stop 13 in remains essentially unchanged, due to the format adjustment described the smaller sheet format is even shortened.
