Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for compensating a radial Threaded spindle runout of a spindle drive in order to avoid blocking of the spindle drive when moving a platform, especially when Lifting the platform with objects in one device.
  • spindle drives of the type mentioned, in which the platform by means of several bearing means arranged on it on several axially parallel Spindles mounted and along with the bearing means axially along the spindles is movable, and in which one of the spindles can be operated as rotating Threaded spindle is designed on which a spindle nut Bearing means is arranged, and one of the bearing means for radial play Compensation of the radial threaded spindle run has.
  • EP-B1-0 024 944 discloses such a device for vertical lifting and Lowering a stack of flat objects (magnetic cards) in a card dispenser, wherein a platform or container carrying the stack by means of a a threaded spindle and a cylindrical shaft having a spindle drive in vertical lifting direction is movable, and the platform during its lifting movement by means of the spaced and axially parallel to the threaded spindle Cylindrical shaft is guided and secured against horizontal pivoting.
  • the Platform is here by means of a spindle nut on the threaded spindle and by means of a bearing sleeve mounted on the straight shank.
  • the spindle nut is in the form of a rectangular Block (calotte) in a pocket-shaped bearing cavity (in the area of a U-shaped Recess) on one of the sides of the platform loose, i.e. in one horizontally arranged radially freely movable around the threaded spindle.
  • the horizontal or radial freedom of movement of the spindle nut to the platform is slightly larger than the radial runout of the threaded spindle.
  • the disadvantage of this disclosed embodiment is that due to the use a single threaded spindle for lifting the stack-carrying platform, in the case of heavy stacks, tilting and thus jamming or jamming of the Platform on the cylindrical shaft or the threaded spindle can occur.
  • Frictional forces due to surface friction between the spindle nut (calotte) and the Platform in the bearing cavity at the one caused by the spindle stroke horizontal, radial movement of the spindle nut against the platform on the one Jamming of the platform against the straight shank favor and a high Cause material abrasion at the bearing point.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a device at the outset to create the type mentioned, which does not have these disadvantages mentioned, but a jam-free, precise and efficient lifting of a platform too guaranteed with heavy loads in an automatically operating device, and also has a simple, low-wear construction.
  • the platform is essentially radial in a first bearing means Arranged without play on a first spindle, has a second bearing means radial bearing play on both sides of a second spindle, the radial linear to and away is provided extending from the first spindle, and are the third and further Storage means with radial all around effective bearing play around the assigned third and further spindles arranged; or point in an alternative Embodiment all of the bearing means arranged on the threaded spindles Platform on a radially effective bearing play all around.
  • the object is also achieved with a device according to claim 7 solved in that the bearing means each concentrically around the spindle have arranged annular ball bearing, by means of which the radial bearing play between the platform and the spindles to balance the Threaded spindle impact can be generated with little friction.
  • the ball bearings each have a first plane Lifting movement of a right-angled bearing shell and a second flat, parallel to the first aligned bearing shell, between those of one annular cage held, balls of the respective ball bearings freely rotatable are, the first bearing shell of the ball bearing rigid with an associated Spindle nut of the bearing means and the second bearing shell rigid with the platform connected is; or have the storage means in an alternative embodiment each an annular one arranged concentrically around a threaded spindle Ball bearing on which a first concave, ball-bearing bearing shell of the Ball bearing is rigidly connected to the spindle nut, and its second Bearing shell rigidly in a plane parallel to the first bearing shell the platform is connected and has a flat support side for the balls.
  • Figure 1 to 5 refers to a preferred Embodiment of the inventive device for balancing a Threaded spindle impact in order to avoid blocking or jamming of a spindle drive 1 having a plurality of spindles, which for moving one a sheet stack S carrying platform 2 of a sheet storage magazine in one usual, not shown sheet processing device, such as one Copier is provided. From the one lying on the platform Sheet stacks are here by means of a conventional sheet removal / transport unit, not shown of the copier, one sheet at a time removable and one or more sheet processing stations of the copier feedable.
  • the inventive device in other devices, such as in Output or input devices for cards or other stackable objects, as well as in printers, printers or sheet sorting devices.
  • the upper bearing plate 51 has access to one Top of the sheet stack S by hand and / or by means of sheet removal - / Transport unit has a recess so that only an edge area of the U-shaped bearing plate remains.
  • the platform 2 is on by means of four bearing means L1; L2; L3; L4 arranged on it assigned threaded spindles G1; G2; G3; G4, which according to FIG. 2 have different radial bearing play F1; F2 in the horizontal direction X; Y.
  • the platform 2 together with the bearing means is axially along the spindles vertically movable in the direction of Z, for which all threaded spindles G1; G2; G3; G4 of Spindle drive 1 synchronously by means of a single microprocessor-controlled Drive unit 6 can be driven to rotate together.
  • the drive unit 6 is from a conventional control unit and sensor unit (not shown) of the copying machine in their direction and duration of rotation controllable and has a drive motor 60 Drive pinion, and a drive belt 61 in which can be driven via the drive pinion Shape of a timing belt.
  • the toothed belt 61 is around all pulleys 62 all around, in the area of the lower bearing plate 52 on the threaded spindles G1; G2; G3; G4 are arranged concentrically and rigidly connected to them.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 there is a first Storage means L1 of the platform 2 essentially radially free of play on a first one Spindle G1 arranged has a second bearing means L2, according to FIGS. 1 to 4a radial bearing clearance F1 on both sides of a second spindle G2 in the direction Y, that radially linear to and away from the first spindle G1 is provided, and 1, 2, 4b and 4c, the third and further bearing means L3, L4 with radial all-round effective bearing play F2 (in the direction X; Y) around the assigned third and further spindles G3, G4 arranged.
  • the storage means L1; L2; L3; L4 of the platform 2 are in the inventive Embodiment as low-friction bearing means with radial play F1; F2 for Compensate for the radial runout of the rotating threaded spindles G1; G2; G3; G4 arranged such that relative radial movement of the rotating spindles G1; G2; G3; G4 to platform 2 with low friction or low effort is possible.
  • F1; F2 for Compensate for the radial runout of the rotating threaded spindles G1; G2; G3; G4 arranged such that relative radial movement of the rotating spindles G1; G2; G3; G4 to platform 2 with low friction or low effort is possible.
