Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting flexible, flat products, especially printed products, from one at a reception point positioned stack to a delivery point, according to the Preamble of claim 1.
  • Such devices are suitable for stacking arranged products individually by means of suction elements and To pick up grippers at a pick-up point Delivery point and theirs there Carry out further processing.
  • a device of this type is an object, for example EP-A-1 055 620.
  • This The device has an epicyclic wheel which is equipped with a plurality of suction devices and grippers assigned to one another in pairs is provided. While turning the planetary gear, one stack each by means of the suction elements Product raised, passed to the assigned gripper and then supported by a subsequent support arm of the Suction device transported to the delivery point.
  • the known device is large in size and in particular for the transport of printed products, such as Newspapers, magazines and the like. there arises from the individually controlled suction elements and Grippers that are available in multiples, one accordingly high effort to manufacture this device.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object in smaller dimensions feasible, inexpensive Create device through the flexible, flat Products, especially smaller and lighter ones Printed matter, with a high frequency of a stack positioned at a receiving point a delivery point are transportable.
  • the inventive device for transport of flexible, flat products, in particular Printed matter, from one receiving point to one Delivery point is determined, can be in smaller dimensions can be produced inexpensively. products especially those with reduced dimensions can be transported at a higher clock rate.
  • the increase in performance results from one device with holding members and support elements moved about an axis of reduced complexity and at the same time increased Functionality.
  • a stack is used, the preferably not around the axis, but in one easier moving path is moved.
  • the separator can be controlled with little effort, so that a increased working frequency and an improved Failure safety can be realized.
  • the support elements that for supporting and aligning items to be transported Serve products are simple in structure and cause no control effort.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of an inventive Device for the transport of flexible, flat Products 1, in particular printed matter, from to a stack 2 positioned at a receiving point serves a delivery point.
  • the device has one Separator 40 and three support elements 3x, 3y, 3z and three holding members 4x, 4y, 4z, which, driven by a shaft 5, in a first or in a second path B1; B2 in the same preferably constant Angular velocity guided around the axis of the shaft 5 and transport individual products 1b, 1c, 1d and support.
  • An orbital gear 52 is formed by the shaft 5 driven, on which the holding members 4x, 4y, 4z attached circumferentially at equal distances from each other are.
  • edge 11 can have a holding bracket 15 and / or an adhesive (such as "post-it” ®) be provided through which the edge areas or End faces of the first edges 11 connected to each other are.
  • the separating member 40 guided in the third path B3 is for sucking or gripping the stacked products 1; 1a in the exposed edge area of the second edge 12 suitable.
  • the third path B3 runs in such a way that the second edge 12 of a product 1 with against Wave 5 facing top 13 in the area of the first Path B1, in which the support elements 3x, 3y, 3z are guided, can be raised.
  • the first path B1, in which the support elements 3x, 3y, 3z are guided, and the second path B2, in which the Holding members 4x, 4y, 4z are guided, run in such a way that, as detailed below with reference to FIG. 2 described, products raised by the separator 40 1 undermine by a support element 3, with the underside 14 facing the shaft 5 tangential to the second path B2 aligned and there by a holding member 4 on the Bottom 14 captured, detached from the stack 2 for Delivery point can be transported and handed over there. After the transport process is complete, the in Direction of rotation of the planet gear 52 originally trailing Edge 12 of the product 1 before.
  • the tray 6 points preferably a ramp through which the Holding organs 4x, 4y, 4z transported and released Products 1 each held in the same position and preferably additionally by assigned support elements 3 are supported so that they are supported by the transport clamps 7 can always be recorded safely.
  • the handover at the delivery point can also be made to other types Sponsors take place.
  • the invention are the products 1 of the holding members 4 at the delivery point, as shown in Fig. 3, in a Conveyor gap 89 of a belt conveyor insertable, the two around Deflection rollers 81 or 91 and 92 guided conveyor belts 8, 9 having.
  • the product 1 introduced into the conveyor gap 89 becomes accelerated to a collision with the to avoid subsequent support element 3y.
  • a collision is also conceivable instead of that of Belt conveyor to accelerate product 1 that subsequent support element 3y to delay or controlled to displace towards the movement path B2, e.g. in the manner shown in FIG.
  • the first path B1 can be the same as the second Lane B2 is circular. In the shown in Fig. 1 preferred embodiment, the first path B1 however, such that one from the non-positive Connection loosened product 1d by a following Support element 3 on the underside 14 in the area of the now trailing first edge 11 until delivery of the Products 1 is supported.
  • the first path B1 preferably runs at the point of the products 1 from the holding members 4x, 4y, 4z are recorded and / or where the Products 1 released by the holding members 4x, 4y, 4z become, at least approximately tangential to the second path B2, so that the products 1 during the takeover or Transfer processes are advantageously aligned.
  • first Path B1 To realize a desired course of the first Path B1 are those driven by shaft 5 Support elements 3x, 3y, 3z, for example in guides 51, which are provided in the planet gear 52, or by a Rods mounted radially displaceable.
  • the radial Deflection of the support elements 3x, 3y, 3z along the first Path B1 is preferably along by means of a backdrop of the support elements 3x, 3y, 3z, for example by means of radially inward spring force, set as a function of the angle of rotation of the planet gear 52.
  • cam gears or Curve controls such as those from Dubbel, paperback for the Mechanical engineering, Springer-Verlag, Berlin 1990, 17th edition, Pages G152 - G155 and T38 - T39 are known.
  • Fig. 2a item a, the top product 1 of the Stack 2 from the separator 40 in the edge area at the second edge 12 and, as in FIG. 2b, item b shown, with the top 13 facing the shaft 5, raised in the area of the first lane B1.
  • the detached product 1; 1d on the underside 14 in the area of the trailing first Edge 11 through the subsequent support element 3, which aligns or aligns the following product 1 has, preferably until delivery of the product 1 supported (Fig. 2c, Pos. k and Fig. 2d, Pos. l).
  • Fig. 2a, item m and Fig. 2b, item n show the transfer the released by the holding member 4, but still supported product 1; 1d to the tray 6 or the Transport clamp 7.
  • item p is the Further transport of the gripped by the transport clamp 7 Product 1; 1d can be seen.
  • the holding organs 4x, 4y, 4z which act as suction organs or Grippers can be formed depending on the Angle of rotation of the shaft 5 controllable such that between positions h to l of air shown in FIG. 2 or the product in question 1; 1d sucked in or one Gripping function is triggered.
  • the construction and control the holding members 4x, 4y, 4z is therefore also in simple way with little effort.
  • the separating element 40 can also act as a suction element or Be designed gripper.
  • the drive for shaft 5 and the drive of the Separator 40 (if a separate drive is available is preferably axially with respect to the shaft 5 arranged shifted against each other.
  • the drive for the Wave 5 can e.g. be arranged behind the planet gear 52 (therefore not shown in the drawing) during the Drive of the separator 40 in front of the planet gear 52 is arranged.
  • the products 1 are preferably lighter Printed products, for example notes of the type of "post-it” ® products, or with content Product samples.
  • the devices shown in Figures 1-3 are preferably embodiments of the invention, in which the Support elements 3 and the holding members 4 driven by a shaft 5 about an axis, the axis of the shaft 5, are led.
