After editing, using a Belt system transported the non-skived sheet to a tray and with a Suction conveyor placed on top of a second stack.

Aus der EP 06 14 840 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die in der Art eines Rütteltisches ausgebildet ist. Bei diesem Rütteltisch ist ein Auflagetisch vorgesehen, wobei an mindestens zwei, benachbarten Seiten des Auflagetisches seitliche Anschläge angeordnet sind, die an den Seitenkanten der Bogen zur Anlage kommen können. Zur Ausrichtung der Lage übereinander angeordneter Bogen wird die Lage auf den Auflagetisch aufgelegt und dieser anschließend so weit in Richtung der beiden Anschläge geneigt, dass die Seitenkanten der Bogen aufgrund der Schwerkraft an den Anschlägen zur Anlage kommen. Danach wird der Rütteltisch in Vibration versetzt, um dadurch die Lage der Bogen aufzulockern und eine Ausrichtbewegung der einzelnen Bogen relativ zueinander zu ermöglichen.From EP 06 14 840 A1 a device is known which is in the manner of a vibrating table is trained. In this vibrating table, a support table is provided, wherein at least two adjacent sides of the support table lateral stops are arranged, which can come to rest on the side edges of the sheet. to Orientation of the layer on top of one another arranged sheet is the location on the Auflagetisch placed and this then so far in the direction of the two stops inclined that the side edges of the bow due to gravity at the stops come to the plant.

Die JP 51-005111 A zeigt eine Vorrichtung zum Transport von Bogen, wobei hinter einem Bogenanleger eine Wendeeinrichtung angeordnet ist, mit der ein unterschuppter Bogenstrom derart gewendet wird, dass jeder Bogen im Bereich seiner Vorderkante frei zugänglich ist.JP 51-005111 A shows a device for transporting sheets, wherein behind a Sheet feeder a turning device is arranged, with the one unterschuppter Sheet flow is turned so that each sheet is free in the region of its leading edge is accessible.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Ausrichtung von in einer Lage übereinander angeordneten Bogen zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a device for aligning in one Able to create stacked sheets.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 solved.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass die Lage der Bogen mit nicht ausgerichteter Vorderkante nicht unmittelbar auf dem Auflagetisch abgelegt wird, sondern auf einer vorgelagerten Tragplatte. Dabei ist in der Vorrichtung ein Bogenanleger vorgesehen, der die auf der Tragplatte abgelegten Bogen einzeln abnimmt und unter Bildung eines untergeschuppten Schuppenstroms weiterfördert. in diesem untergeschuppten Schuppenstrom liegt die Vorderkante eines jeden Bogens jeweils unterhalb des unmittelbar vorhergehenden Bogens. Im Ergebnis wird also beim Vereinzeln die Reihenfolge der Bogen nicht verändert. Hinter dem Bogenanleger ist in der Vorrichtung eine Wendeeinrichtung vorgesehen, mit der der Schuppenstrom gewendet wird. Durch die Wendung des Schuppenstroms wird im Ergebnis erreicht, dass jeder Bogen im Bereich seiner Vorderkante frei zugänglich ist. Zur eigentlichen Ausrichtung der einzelnen Bogen ist dann hinter der Wendeeinnchtung eine Fördereinrichtung vorgesehen, mit der die Bogen einzeln zum Vorderkantenanschlag des Auflagetisches gefördert werden. Durch die Anlage der Vorderkante der Bogen am Vorderkantenanschlag wird die gewünschte Ausrichtung der Bogen erreicht und zugleich eine neue Lage von Bogen, die alle jeweils am Vorderkantenanschlag anliegen, gebildet. Da die Bogen bei der Ausrichtbewegung am Vorderkantenanschlag jeweils oben auf der neu gebildeten Lage aufliegen, wird die Ausrichtbewegung nicht durch das Gewicht der anderen Bogen behindert. Zugleich wird jedoch die Reihenfolge der Bogen in der Lage, anders als beispielsweise beim Umstapeln, erhalten. Nach dem vollständigen Durchlauf aller Bogen der ursprünglichen Lage hat sich dann auf dem Auflagetisch eine neue Lage von Bogen mit ausgerichteter Vorderkante gebildet, wobei der ursprünglich oberste Bogen in der neuen Lage ganz unten liegt.The achievable with the present invention consist in particular that the situation the sheet with unoriented leading edge is not directly on the support table is stored, but on an upstream support plate. It is in the device a Sheet feeder provided, which decreases the deposited sheets on the support plate individually and further promotes formation of a shingled scale flow. in this shingled stream lies the leading edge of each arch respectively below the immediately preceding bow. The result is thus at Separate the order of the bow not changed. Behind the sheet feeder is in the Device provided a turning device with which the scale flow turned becomes. The result of the turn of the scale flow is that everyone Arch is freely accessible in the area of its leading edge. For the actual orientation of the single sheet is then behind the Wendeeinnchtung a conveyor provided with the sheets individually to the leading edge stop of the support table be encouraged. By planting the leading edge of the bow on Leading edge stop will reach the desired orientation of the bow and at the same time a new layer of bows, all of which abut each at the leading edge stop formed. Since the sheets in the alignment movement at the leading edge stop respectively on top of the rested position, the alignment movement is not determined by the weight of the obstructed other arch. At the same time, however, the order of the bow will be able to unlike, for example, when restacking. After the complete run all the bow of the original layer then has a new position on the support table formed by sheets with aligned leading edge, with the original top sheet located in the new location at the bottom.

Zur Bildung einer Vorrichtung 01 kann ein bekannter Bogenanleger 02 verwendet werden. im Bogenanleger 02 ist eine in Fig. 1 verdeckt dargestellte Tragplatte vorgesehen, auf die eine Lage von übereinander angeordneten Bogen 04, beispielsweise mit Wertnoten und Registriernummern bedruckte Bogen, abgelegt werden können. Durch Einsatz einer verfahrbaren Saugeinheit 03 werden die Bogen 04 in bekannter Art und Weise einzeln von der Lage abgenommen und unter Bildung eines untergeschuppten Schuppenstroms, bei dem die Bogen 04 mit ihrer Vorderkante jeweils unterhalb des vorhergehenden Bogens 04 liegen, in Richtung einer Wendeeinrichtung 06 weitergefördert.To form a device 01, a known sheet feeder 02 can be used. in sheet feeder 02, a support plate shown hidden in Fig. 1 is provided on the a layer of sheets 04 arranged one above another, for example with notes of value and Registration numbers printed sheets, can be filed. By using a movable suction unit 03, the sheet 04 are individually in a known manner taken from the situation and with the formation of a shingled scale flow, in which the sheet 04 with its leading edge respectively below the preceding Arc 04 lie, further promoted in the direction of a turning device 06.

Zwischen Bogenanleger 02 und Wendeeinrichtung 06 ist eine Seitenzlehmarke 07 vorgesehen, an der die rechte Seitenkante der einzelnen Bogen 04 des Schuppenstroms seitlich ausgerichtet werden.Between sheet feeder 02 and turning device 06 is a page tiling 07th provided at the right side edge of each sheet 04 of the scale flow be aligned laterally.

Die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Saugbänder 08 im Bogenanleger 02 ist dabei höher als die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Saugbänder 09 in der Wendeeinrichtung 06, so dass im Ergebnis die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Schuppenstroms nach Ausrichten der Bogen 04 an der Seitenziehmarke 07 verringert wird. Dadurch wird die Überlappung zwischen den einzelnen Bogen 04 im Schuppenstrom vergrößert und der Schuppenstrom somit langsamer weitergefördert, so dass der Materiallauf mit den bereits seitlich ausgerichteten Bogen 04 ruhiger wird. An einem Bedienpult 11 können Steuerbefehle für die Vorrichtung 01 eingegeben und verschiedene Betriebszustände angezeigt werden.The conveying speed of the suction belts 08 in the sheet feeder 02 is higher than that Conveying speed of the suction belts 09 in the turning device 06, so that in Result the conveying speed of the scale flow after aligning the sheet 04 is reduced at the side handle 07. This will cause the overlap between the single arc 04 increased in the scale flow and the scale flow thus promoted slower, so that the material run with the already laterally aligned Bow 04 is calmer. On a control panel 11 can control commands for the device 01 entered and various operating conditions are displayed.

Am Einlauf der Wendeeinrichtung 06 werden, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt, die Bogen 04 zwischen den Saugbändem 09 und umlaufende Führungsbändern 12 eingezogen und um 150° - 210° gewendet und in Richtung einer Walze 13, z. B. einer Saugwalze 13 weitergefördert. Die Saugwalze 13 läuft in Richtung des Bewegungspfeils 14 rotatorisch um, so dass die Bogen 04 des am Einlauf untergeschuppten Schuppenstroms derart gewendet werden, dass die Bogen 04 am Auslauf der Wendeeinrichtung 06 im Bereich ihrer Vorderkante jeweils frei zugänglich sind, wohingegen die Hinterkante jedes Bogens 04 unterhalb des jeweils nachfolgenden Bogens 04 im Schuppenstrom liegt.At the inlet of the turning device 06, as shown in Fig. 2, the bow 04th between the Saugbändem 09 and circumferential guide strips 12 fed and turned by 150 ° - 210 ° and in the direction of a roller 13, z. B. a suction roller 13th further promoted. The suction roller 13 rotates in the direction of the movement arrow 14 around, so that the arc 04 of the shingled under the inlet scale flow so be turned that the sheet 04 at the outlet of the turning device 06 in the area their leading edge are each freely accessible, whereas the trailing edge of each arc 04 is below the respective following arc 04 in the imbricated stream.

Hinter dem Auslauf der Wendeeinrichtung 06 ist ein Auflagetisch 16 angeordnet, an dessen hinteren Ende ein in Fig. 2 verdeckt dargestellter Vorderkantenanschlag vorgesehen ist. Mittels einer als Fördereinrichtung 17 dienenden Saugkörpereinheit 17 mit zwei rotatorisch antreibbaren Saugkörper 18, z. B. eine Saugwalzen 18 können die einzelnen Bogen 04 des Schuppenstroms nacheinander im Bereich ihrer Vorderkante angesaugt und gegen den verdeckt dargestellten Vorderkantenanschlag gefördert werden. Durch fortlaufenden Betrieb der Vorrichtung 01 bildet sich auf dem Auflagetisch 16 eine neue Lage von übereinander angeordneten Bogen 04, deren Vorderkante und Seitenkante jeweils ausgerichtet ist. Damit die von der Saugkörpereinheit 17 auf die Bogen 04 der neuen Lage ausgeübte Gewichtskraft die Ausrichtung der Vorderkante nicht behindert, kann die Höhe der neuen Lage mit einem nicht dargestellten Sensor gemessen und die Saugkörpereinheit 17 in Abhängigkeit dieses Messwertes vertikal verstellt werden. Im Ergebnis befinden sich die Saugwalzen 18 mit ihrem Umfang damit immer in Höhe der Oberseite der neuen Lage und drücken damit nicht auf den jeweils auszurichtenden obersten Bogen 04.Behind the outlet of the turning device 06, a support table 16 is arranged on the rear end of a hidden in Fig. 2 illustrated leading edge stop is provided. By means of a serving as a conveyor 17 Saugkörpereinheit 17 with two rotatably driven absorbent body 18, z. B. a suction rollers 18, the single arc 04 of the scale flow successively in the region of its leading edge sucked and promoted against the front edge stop hidden become. Continuous operation of the device 01 forms on the support table 16 a new layer of stacked sheet 04, the leading edge and Side edge is aligned respectively. So that the of the Saugkörpereinheit 17 on the Sheet 04 of the new layer exerted weight not aligning the leading edge hindered, the height of the new layer can be measured with a sensor, not shown and the Saugkörpereinheit 17 vertically adjusted as a function of this measurement become.

Nachdem beispielsweise hundert Bogen 04 vom der Vorrichtung 01 abgezogen worden sind, wird die Vorrichtung 01 für eine bestimmte Zeit abgeschaltet, so dass der Bogenlauf unterbrochen wird. Die jeweils in einem Schuppenstrom zusammengefassten Bogen 04 werden dann durch die Wendeeinrichtung 06 zum Auflagetisch 16 hingefördert und dort unter Bildung einer neuen Lage abgestapelt. Sobald alle Bogen 04 des Schuppenstroms an der Vorderkantenmarke ausgerichtet sind, wird die jeweilige Lage vom Auflagetisch 16 in Richtung einer nachgeordneten Vorrichtung (nicht dargestellt), die beispielsweise dem Beschneiden der Kanten der Bogen 04 dient, weitergefördert.After, for example, one hundred sheets 04 have been deducted from the device 01 are, the device 01 is turned off for a certain time, so that the sheet travel is interrupted. Each summarized in a scale flow sheet 04 are then conveyed by the turning device 06 to the support table 16 and there stacked under formation of a new situation. Once all the bow 04 of the shingled stream aligned with the leading edge mark, the respective position of the support table 16 in the direction of a downstream device (not shown), for example, the Trimming the edges of the sheet 04 serves, further promoted.

Während des gesamten Ablaufes zeigt das vorlaufende Ende des vom ersten Stapel abgenommenen Bogens in Transportrichtung, d. h. das vorlaufende Ende der Bogen ist, bezogen auf die Transportrichtung, auch beim Ablagestapel vorlaufend.Throughout the process, the leading end points from the first stack removed sheet in the transport direction, d. H. the leading end of the bow is, related to the transport direction, also leading the discard pile.

Beim Banknotendruck kann in der Vorrichtung 01 ein Kamerasystem 21 vorgesehen sein, mit der die Registriernummern der einzelnen Bogen 04 beobachtet werden können. In the case of banknote printing, a camera system 21 may be provided in the device 01, with the registration numbers of each sheet 04 can be observed.

In Fig. 3 ist die Wendeeinrichtung 06 mit den umlaufenden Führungsbändern 12 und der Saugwalze 13 in perspektivischer Ansicht von unten dargestellt. Man erkennt, dass die Führungsbänder 12 am Auslauf der Wendeeinrichtung 06 entlang von Saugkästen 22 geführt sind und somit am Auslauf der Wendeeinrichtung 06 in der Art von Saugbändem 12 funktionieren. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass die Bogen 04 am Auslauf der Wendeeinrichtung 06 angesaugt und auf diese Weise ihre Lage gesichert wird. In Fig. 3, the turning device 06 with the circumferential guide belts 12 and the Suction roller 13 shown in perspective view from below. One recognizes that the Guide belts 12 at the outlet of the turning device 06 along suction boxes 22 are guided and thus at the outlet of the turning device 06 in the manner of Saugbändem 12 work. This ensures that the bow 04 at the outlet of the Wende device 06 sucked and secured their position in this way.
