Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus and a method for separating a conveyed stream of scaly superimposed, flat workpieces according to the preambles of claims 1 and 9.
  • conveying means can be any means suitable for conveying or transporting workpieces, such as revolving, endless conveyor belts or a plurality of rollers or rollers arranged one behind the other. After separation of the scale flow both conveyors are operated again at the same speed. However, it is also conceivable to operate the first conveyor at a temporarily lower speed in order to allow the same effect, namely the separation of the scale flow.
  • the scale flow although at different speeds, further promote the subsequent separation point of the shingled stream must not be in contact with the second funding, is a means for lifting the separation point following workpiece, ie the Separation point adjacent workpiece, provided.
  • This means to take off is as Intermediate conveyor designed, which is provided with cams, which extend beyond the transport plane of the second conveyor and so lift the workpieces from this conveyor when it is driven at a higher speed.
  • the intermediate conveyor belt is driven at the same speed as the first conveyor belt, so that the part of the scale flow following the separation point is maintained in its shape.
  • the following part of the scale flow is, when the second conveyor is operated again at a slower speed, put back on this conveyor belt by the cams are retracted or folded.
  • the leading part of the scale flow can now be further processed separately from the subsequent part of the scale flow.
  • the workpieces of this leading part are collected for example in a stack of workpieces and stored or packaged for storage.
  • the device described is used, for example, in a floor layer, in which at the ends of hose sections floors, such as cross bottoms, are formed. These crossfloor sacks are then transported scaled, the scale flow separated and arranged the sacks into stacks. The stacks are then often stored in a crusher and then palletized.
  • the device described can be used for the separation of scale flows, in which the following workpiece rests on the leading workpiece. It is conceivable, however, a scale flow, wherein each of the leading workpiece rests on the respective subsequent workpiece. In this case, when the second conveyor belt is operated at a higher speed, a part of the leading part of the scale flow must be lifted off the first conveyor. The means for lifting must then always be operated at the same speed as the second conveyor.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device in which a scale flow can be separated safely and without damaging the workpieces.
  • further means for lifting workpieces are provided by at least one of the conveying means, which act on at least one workpiece in a spaced apart from the separation point region of the scale flow.
  • These further means for lifting can act on the same workpiece, which already act on the first means for lifting.
  • the further means can also detect a workpiece adjacent to the workpiece adjacent to the separation point. With these further means for lifting workpieces is avoided that workpieces at least partially touch the conveyor disposed thereunder.
  • the period during which the first means for lifting workpieces act on this workpiece and the period during which the further means for lifting workpieces acts on at least one workpiece start simultaneously or end simultaneously.
  • a shingled stream in which the following workpiece rests on the leading workpiece, it is ensured that after a period in which the two conveying means are operated at different speeds, the previously lifted part of the scale flow is brought into contact with the conveying means that all workpieces touch the conveyor again at the same time.
  • a Scrap flow in which the leading workpiece rests on the subsequent workpiece, is analogously ensured that all workpieces are lifted simultaneously and evenly from the conveyor.
  • the first and the further means for lifting workpieces can be fixed relative to the machine frame. However, at least components of the means for lifting workpieces can also move relative to the machine frame.
  • the further means for lifting workpieces comprise cams.
  • cams For the purpose of lifting these cams protrude at least temporarily over the plane of at least one means of transport, on which the workpieces rest during transport.
  • two cams can be provided which detect workpieces in the area of their outer areas.
  • further cams may be conceivable in order to avoid bending of the workpiece in its central region.
  • cams of the further means for lifting workpieces on or on circulating transport means.
  • the length of the transport or the means of transport is designed so that cams act on the workpieces in the machine cycle.
  • the first means for lifting the workpiece adjacent to the separation point may also have cams arranged on or on peripheral transport means.
  • all cam-carrying transport can each run over a first deflection, which have the same speeds.
  • These respective first deflection means can be driven. In this way, all cams act in constant phase on the workpieces.
  • Deflection means may be gears or pulleys.
  • a single deflection means such as a shaft, may be provided, over which the means of transport run.
  • the transport means of the further means for lifting workpieces run over further deflection means, wherein the position of this further deflection means relative to the first deflection means changeable is.
  • This relative change in position may be parallel to the plane of the conveyor on which rest the workpieces during transport.
  • the change in position of the deflection leads to a change in the period during which the cams act on the workpieces.
  • the time at which the workpieces of the separation point subsequent part of the scale flow after the separation process again come into contact with the funding can be changed.
  • the position of the cam or on or on the transport means is variable.
  • the means for lifting the formats of the workpieces can be adjusted. This is particularly advantageous when the device is operated in conjunction with a manufacturing machine such as floor levelers, on or with which workpieces of various formats can be produced.
  • the change in the position of the cam or cams causes the cams of the first lifting means and the cams of the further lifting means to simultaneously contact the workpieces or simultaneously terminate this contact.
  • At least one counter-bearing is provided, against which the workpieces can be pressed by the first and / or further means for lifting workpieces from a conveyor.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device for separating a scale flow 1 with a first conveyor belt 2 and a second conveyor belt 3.
  • the conveyor belt 3 runs over deflection roller 4, 5, 6 um.
  • the guide roller 6 coaxially arranged, but driven at different speeds pulley 8 two transport chains or belts 9, 10 out.
  • the direction of rotation of the transport chains 9, 10 corresponds to that of the conveyor belts 2, 3rd
  • the second conveyor belt 3 can be driven at the same or higher speed compared to the conveyor belt 2.
  • the transport chains 9, 10 are always driven with compared to the conveyor belt 2 same speed.
  • the circulating with the transport chain 10 cam 12 projects beyond the upper run of the conveyor belt 3 after passing through the guide roller 8 and so lifts a workpiece 7 'and thus also the following workpieces 7 of the conveyor belt 3.
  • the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 3 is increased, so that the part of the scale flow leading to the workpiece 7 'is separated from the raised workpieces 7'.
  • the cam 11 passes the deflection roller 8 and lifts workpieces 7 from the conveyor belt 3.
  • FIG. 1 This situation during the separation process is Fig. 1 shown.
  • the deflection roller 13, over which the transport chain 9 extends, and the deflection roller 14, over which the transport chain 10 extends, are spaced apart according to the spacing of the cams 11 and 12.
  • the cams 11 and 12 are lowered simultaneously, so that the lifted workpieces 7, 7 'are simultaneously deposited again on the conveyor belt.
  • This lowering takes place after the conveyor belt 3 has been throttled back to speed of the conveyor belt 2.
  • the transport chains 9 and 10 have the same length. This has the consequence that the transport chain 9 additionally has to be guided over a deflection roller 15.
  • the device 1 further comprises a frame 16, not shown on the machine frame, on the two links 17, 18th are arranged pivotally.
  • the links 17, 18 are connected to a coupling rod 19.
  • the coupling rod 19 carries two pulleys 20, 21, over which a belt 22 rotates.
  • This band 22 is due to the weight of the handlebars 17, 18, the coupling rod 19 and the guide rollers 20, 21 on the workpieces 7 and pushes them against the cam 11, 12.
  • the tape 22 is only from the workpieces 7, 7 ' , which are supported in the raised state substantially by the cams 11 and 12 moves.
  • the elements 17 to 22 thus form a counter position to the cams 11 and 12, so that the workpieces 7 are held in a clamping manner.
  • the Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the device according to the invention 1. From this figure it is clear that the device 1 comprises two of the units described above, which are arranged in mirror image to each other.
