Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stack height detection for a stack of flat Material, preferably paper sheets, with at least one sensor for detecting the Stack height and a stack height control with such a stack height detection.
  • Such a stack height detection is known from DE 197 11 406 C1, wherein it is proposed to arrange a row of one above the other on the edge of a stack To provide sensors which detect the stack height by registering to what extent emitted light is reflected from the stack or not.
  • the disadvantage this arrangement is that a material, especially paper, that is not clean lying on or wavy leads to a false display. There will be a ripple or a Bulge in the measurement area is registered as the height of the stack, even if it is in others Areas does not exist or if it still settles after the measurement. In this way, a stack can not be positioned exactly, especially then is disadvantageous if additional material is to be deposited and not exact setting the feed level is not correct.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of stack height detection type mentioned in such a way that an exact detection of the stack height is possible, in particular, to exactly stack the stack for the next storage of material position.
  • the object is achieved in that a flat element for Capturing the height of the stack is placed in a support position on the stack and this support position is detected by the at least one sensor.
  • the advantage of the invention is that the height of a stack is recorded exactly, regardless of whether ripples or bulging of the material at the measuring point available.
  • the recorded height corresponds to the height of the deposited material, which this takes up over the entire area after complete storage.
  • a the height of a stack detected in this way gives a much more exact measure, in particular for a height setting that serves to deposit the feed level for another Adjust the material to suit the function.
  • the height of the flat element which is a measure of the height of the stack, can be detected in different ways.
  • the at least one sensor is an optical sensor. It can are a single sensor, the function of which will be explained later, or it is possible that a row of optical sensors is arranged such that with you can detect several heights of the flat element.
  • the flat element can be an element arranged for this purpose, which has a drive and a control that moves the element into the measuring position moved and removed for the storage of another material.
  • the flat element is a functional element of a storage device for the flat material. This has the Advantage that the separate arrangement of a flat element as well as drive and control the same can be saved and thereby the stack height detection essential is simplified.
  • the functional element is the hold-down of a storage device. Because such a hold-down Has the function of positioning a deposited material on the stack, that he also detects the exact height. In particular, it detects the height of the stack on the Side on which further material is fed and thus also records the height required for the setting of the feed level is decisive.
  • An embodiment for the arrangement of a sensor on a hold-down device provides that the storage device is arranged horizontally and at the rear end of the stack vertically movable tongues, drivable and horizontally movable rollers and the least has a horizontally and vertically movable hold-down device, with drives and a controller designed in such a way that a flat material, lying between rollers and tongues, conveyed from the rollers into its storage position is that the blank holder then presses the flat material onto the stack and this Altitude of the hold-down device is detected by the at least one sensor, and that then lifted the rollers and the tongues against the conveying direction from Stacks are removed and then the hold-down device is used to convey another material lifted, pulled out of the storage area and the tongues and rollers be moved back to the position for storing another material. On in this way the height of the stack is recorded after each deposit of a material and can therefore always be set exactly.
  • the invention further relates to a stack height control with a stack height detection of the aforementioned type.
  • a stack height control are a stack height adjusting device and a controller is provided, with one after each filing Material detects the stack height and by means of the control the stack height adjustment device is caused to set the target height.
  • a stack height control can be equipped with a stack height detection of all the aforementioned embodiments his.
  • the control for the stack height adjustment is preferably such designed that after the flat element has been placed on the stack, the stack height adjustment device lowers the stack until a sensor that responds in this way responds is arranged so that it reaches the target height of the stack by the corresponding Position of the hold-down device detected.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a stack height control with stack height detection.
  • the stack 1 is located on a storage table 24, which can be positioned in height by means of a stack height adjustment device 12.
  • a stack height detection 25 is provided, which has a flat element 4, which can be moved to detect the height of the stack 1 in a support position 5, in which it rests on the stack 1 and therefore indicates a measure of the stack height, which can be detected by a sensor 3.
  • an adjusting device 20 is provided in order to bring the flat element 4 into the support position 5 or into a rest position 23, an adjusting device 20 is provided.
  • the rest position 23 is used so that further material 2 can be applied to the stack 1.
  • the measurement of the sensor 3 is transmitted by means of a connection 21 to a controller 13 which, via a further connection 21, issues the setting commands to the stack height adjusting device 12 so that the latter brings the surface of the stack 1 into its desired position, for example into the feed plane.
  • rollers 10 serve to transport the flat material 2.
  • the rollers 10 are combined with tongues 9, the rollers 10 with its surface with high friction compared to the flat material 2 by rotating the flat material 2 to reach the defined storage position and then brake at the right moment.
  • Such a conveying of a material 2 is shown in FIG. 3.
  • the rollers 10 cooperate with the tongues 9, which have low friction and are arranged in such a way that the flat material 2 slides on the tongues 9 and is conveyed by the rollers 10 .
  • a hold-down device occurs 7 in action by a horizontal and a vertical movement 15 and 14, that he holds the flat material 2 in the storage position by opening it presses stack 1.
  • the sensor 3 detects this position 5 of the hold-down 7 directly and outputs a signal to the controller 13 which the stack height controller 12 for Setting the target position of stack 1 causes.
  • the stack height adjustment device 12 the Stack 1 moves down until the height difference to the target position - by placing one Materials 2, stack 1 was higher - balanced.
  • the sensor is 3 set up in such a way that it only responds to reaching the target position and the Lowering movement of the stack height adjustment device 12 is still seated. This repeats itself after the next material 2 has been placed on the stack 1.
  • the rollers 10 lift off by a vertical movement 18 and the tongues 9 are in The direction of the double arrow 17 is withdrawn counter to the conveying direction 11, whereby the rear end of the flat material 2 also in the areas where the Tongues 9 were discarded.
  • the tongues 9 by a Vertical movement 16 and a horizontal movement 17 again in the drawn Positioned over the previously deposited material 2 and the tongues 9 and the Rollers 10 lower in such a way that between the tongues 9 and the rollers 10 again a flat material 2 can be conveyed to the storage position.
  • the Vertical movement 14 and the horizontal movement 15 of the hold-down 7 serve one Pull back so that a new material 2 can be deposited.
  • the area of application is also not limited to a printing press 19, it is possible to use the invention in all technical fields in which flat Material 2 is applied to a stack 1, and in which it is necessary that To determine stack height.
  • An essential area of application is, of course, if a feed level for a storage device 6 must be set so the next delivered flat material 2 reaches the stack 1 cleanly.
