Definitions

  • a parallel conveyor with a parallel conveying direction and a parallel conveying speed used, for example, a pair of conveyor belts, between which the objects be encouraged to be trapped.
  • a parallel conveyor has a Input or output on, which is substantially stationary.
  • the alignment means is a pair of counter-rotating ones driven alignment rollers, which in a part of its circumference a constant Maximum radius and the rest of the circumference have a smaller radius and their axes of rotation parallel to each other and perpendicular to the parallel conveying direction are aligned.
  • the drive speed of the alignment rollers is such that their Surface velocity in the range of the constant radius substantially is equal to the parallel conveying speed and that the areas of the constant Radius of the two rollers in synchronism with the conveying cycle of the transverse conveyor and longitudinal conveyor facing each other and in this configuration during hold a holding period positioned between the rollers object and can move with parallel conveying speed.
  • a stationary, aligned on the input 21 of the parallel conveyor 2 alignment means 3 is arranged, which has two alignment rollers 31 and 32 of the form already described above.
  • the compartments 11 of the cross conveyor 1 are associated with auxiliary conveying means, not shown, for example, slide whose effect on the objects in the compartments 11 are shown with arrows 12.
  • the alignment means 3 is on the input 13 'of the conveyor compartment 11.1, through which the currently to be handed over object is to take, aligned, that is, at least during its effect on the article 5 with the compartment 11.1 mitge devist in transverse conveying direction.
  • FIG. 9 shows a device in which a device 30 according to the invention, as shown for example in FIGS. 1 to 4, is used.
  • the plant serves to continuously create (eg by collating) stacked groups of sub-products and to bond the sub-products of each stack by an adhesive bond.
  • the device is shown in FIG. 9 as a schematic top view and in FIG. 10 as a three-dimensional partial view.
  • the orientation of the binding Edges of the partial products in the stacks can be improved by vibrating the compartments or can the partial products also in a conventional manner laterally to be aligned with each other.
  • the stack thicknesses are checked and can auxiliary conveyors in compartments with too thin or too thick, so faulty Stacking will not be activated, so the faulty stack will not be in the binding machine be promoted but, for example, at the next diversion the conveyor compartments 11 dropped and can be disposed of accordingly.
  • the compartments are so arranged on a rotating conveyor, eg chains (dash-dotted line 55) that they follow each other in a straight course of the chains as close as possible and that they in the areas of the guide wheel 56 for introduction of the flat objects 5 or stacked groups of partial products can be opened sufficiently.
  • a rotating conveyor eg chains (dash-dotted line 55) that they follow each other in a straight course of the chains as close as possible and that they in the areas of the guide wheel 56 for introduction of the flat objects 5 or stacked groups of partial products can be opened sufficiently.
  • the pivotal mounting of the leading Walls 52 in the compartment shelves 50 displaceable design, such that the width the compartment floor 50 is adjustable.
  • FIG. 12 shows a further, exemplary embodiment of an auxiliary conveying means for a conveying compartment 11 of a transverse conveyor of a device according to the invention.
  • the figure shows a conveyor compartment 11 without trailing wall and looking in the transverse conveying direction.
  • the auxiliary conveying means has two jaw-like clamping parts 70 (one visible), which are movable transversely to the transverse conveying direction on a carriage 71 displaceably mounted in the area of the compartment floor 50 and which can be pressed against each other and removed from one another.
  • the carriage movement is controlled, for example, by a control link 73, on which a control roller 74 unrolls, which is arranged on a projecting from the compartment 11 slide part.
