Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor unit for conveying flat objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such conveyor units are such.
  • B. used in folders to promote signatures that have previously been cut from a web of printing material.
  • the signatures consist of a variable number of sheets that are not connected to each other. It is therefore of great importance when conveying the signatures that the two endless belts and the roller move at precisely coordinated speeds in order to avoid that shear forces act on the signatures which are jammed between them, which leads to a deformation and a fanning out of the Signatures can lead in the course of the transport.
  • the movement of the second endless belt is coupled to the rotation of the roller via a transmission gear with a fixed transmission ratio.
  • the first endless belt partially wrapping around the lateral surface of the roller is driven by the roller by friction.
  • the web speed of the first belt corresponds to the peripheral speed of the roller when no objects are conveyed between the two. If there are objects being conveyed in the looping area between the roller and the first belt, this has an effect on the speed of the first belt as an increase in the diameter of the roller.
  • the speed of the first belt therefore increases with the thickness of the objects to be conveyed.
  • the speed of the second belt is constant. This stipulates that the two belts only have a specific thickness to be conveyed Objects run exactly the same way so that the objects are not exposed to shear forces.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a conveyor unit for flat objects.
  • the conveyor unit has a drive device for the second belt that can be controlled independently of the rotational speed of the roller.
  • This drive device is expediently assigned to a control device, which works towards an adjustment of the speeds of the two belts.
  • This control device preferably controls the speed of the second belt with a variable proportionality factor proportional to the speed of rotation of the roller. By adjusting the proportionality factor as a function of the thickness of the objects to be conveyed, objects of different thicknesses can be conveyed without shear.
  • control device can be coupled to a sensor for measuring the speed of the first belt. Its speed varies linearly with the thickness of the objects being conveyed; by simply adjusting the speed of the two belts, freedom from shear can be achieved.
  • control device it is also conceivable to couple the control device to a sensor for detecting a shear deformation of the conveyed objects.
  • a sensor for detecting a shear deformation of the conveyed objects.
  • Such a sensor can e.g. B. implemented by a camera with connected image processing electronics.
  • an operator it is also possible for an operator to vary the proportionality factor by hand on the basis of a determined shear deformation of the conveyed objects.
  • Another possibility is to couple a sensor for detecting a thickness of the objects to the control device.
  • a sensor for detecting a thickness of the objects to the control device.
  • Such a sensor can in particular be arranged in front of the input of the control device in order to be able to adapt the belt speeds of the conveyor unit to a changed thickness, even before the object on which the thickness measurement was carried out reaches the conveyor unit.
  • the drawing shows a schematic section through a conveyor unit according to the invention.
  • the conveyor unit is arranged in connection with a cutting unit formed from a knife cylinder 02 and a given overlying groove cylinder 03, with which a superstructure, not shown in the drawing, is cut into strands using a plurality of rotating longitudinal cutting knives and one above the other laid material web 01, z. B. a paper web 01 is cut into individual signatures.
  • the signatures therefore consist of a different number of sheets of paper lying on top of one another, which are not firmly held together and are therefore open on all four sides.
  • the route along which the signatures are conveyed in the conveyor unit can be divided into two sections, a first section 08, in which the signatures are transported compressed between a first endless belt 04 and a second endless belt 06, and a second section 09, in which they between the first endless belt 04 and a roller 07, z. B. a collecting cylinder 07 and / or folding knife cylinder of a folder of a rotary printing press.
  • the collecting cylinder 07 is driven by a motor, not shown in the drawing.
  • the first endless belt 04 which in the second section 09 wraps around the collecting cylinder 07 over an angular range of at least 90 °, preferably about 180 °, is driven by the collecting cylinder 07 by friction. If signatures are conveyed in the second section 09, these transfer the driving force from the collecting cylinder 07 to the first endless belt 04.
  • the outside of the signatures facing away from the collecting cylinder 07 have a slightly greater path speed than the outer surface of the collecting cylinder due to their greater distance from the center of rotation of the collecting cylinder 07 07 itself, the speed difference being proportional to the thickness of the signatures.
  • the speed of the first endless belt 04 therefore adapts automatically as the thickness of the signatures changes.
  • the second endless belt 06 is driven by a frequency-controlled motor 12 via an intermediate wheel 11.
  • the speed of the motor 12 is regulated by a control device 13, the task of which is to keep the web speeds of the two endless belts 04 and 06 equal to one another and thus to avoid the sheets of the signatures their passage through the first section 08 against each other and the signatures become unsightly or unusable.
  • the control device 13 is connected to two speed sensors for the web speed of the first and second endless belts 04 and 06 and acts on an adjustment of these web speeds.
  • the speed sensors can e.g. B. be angle encoder, each on a deflection roller 14 or 16 of the first or second endless belt 04; 06 are arranged and each time the deflection roller 04; 06 has traveled a fixed angle of rotation, deliver a pulse to the control device 13.
  • These rotation angle sensors are preferably of identical construction and are on deflection rollers 14; 16 mounted with the same radius.
  • control device 13 can have an identical path speed of the endless belts 04; 06 thereby ensure that it maintains a constant, preferably vanishing phase offset between the pulses supplied by the two sensors.
  • the speed of the second endless belt 06 is then proportional to the speed of the collecting cylinder 07, the proportionality factor being determined by the thickness of the signatures conveyed between the collecting cylinder 07 and the first endless belt 04.
  • Another possibility of regulating the speed of the second endless belt is to connect the control device 13 on the one hand to a sensor for the speed of the first endless belt 04 or the rotational speed of the collecting cylinder 07 and on the other hand to a sensor for the thickness of the signatures to be transported, whereby Then the control device 13 calculates a speed to be maintained by the motor 12 from the measured speed, corrected by a proportionality factor dependent on the measured thickness.
  • a sensor for the thickness of the signatures or a size proportional to them can largely be used any place in the conveyor unit itself or better still be arranged on the material web 01 before the start of the conveyor unit.
  • a camera with an image processing unit is provided at the output of the conveyor unit, which monitors the conveyed signatures for the occurrence of shear. If a shear is determined, the control device 13 varies the proportionality factor on which it is based between the rotational speed of the collecting cylinder 07 and the speed of the second endless belt 06 until the shear disappears or is reduced to a portable level.
