Abstract

A device for separating battery plates from stacks comprises a lifting device (30) with which vertical stacks (14) are gradually lifted to a plate placer (51). The plate placer (51) lifts the uppermost plate from the stack (14) and places it onto a conveyor belt (60), whose loading end is located underneath the plate placer (51) and which comprises conveying elements (61) that are moved underneath the plate placer (51) after a plate has been lifted from the stack (14). The delivery end of the conveyor belt (60) is situated underneath the loading end of a vacuum conveyor belt (70). The vacuum conveyor belt (70) receives separated plates from the conveyor belt (60) and moves them to devices located downstream.

Description

Vorrichtung zum Vereinzeln von plattenförrαiαen Gegenständen, insbesondere BatterieplattenDevice for separating plate-shaped objects, in particular battery plates
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des einleiten- den Teils von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device having the features of the introductory part of claim 1.
Vorrichtungen zum Vereinzeln von plattenförmigen Gegenständen, ins¬ besondere von Batterieplatten, aus Stapeln solcher plattenförmiger Gegenstände sind bekannt.Devices for separating plate-shaped objects, in particular of battery plates, from stacks of such plate-shaped objects are known.
In älteren Vorschlägen für Vorrichtungen zum Entnehmen von Batterieplat¬ ten aus Stapeln solcher Batterieplatten (vgl. AT 241 565 B, AT 329 124 B und AT 352 198 B) sind die Batterieplatten in im wesentlichen lotrech¬ ten Stapeln, in welchen die Platten im wesentlichen horizontal ausge- richtet sind, angeordnet und werden von unten aus dem Stapel entnommen. Dies ist wegen des auf der jeweils untersten Platte lastenden Gewichts des Stapels problematisch, da es vorkommt, dass die Batterieplatten aneinander haften und nicht ohne weiteres einzeln entnommen werden können.In older proposals for devices for removing battery plates from stacks of such battery plates (compare AT 241 565 B, AT 329 124 B and AT 352 198 B), the battery plates are essentially stacked, in which the plates essentially horizontally aligned, are arranged and are taken from below from the stack. This is problematic because of the weight of the stack on the bottom plate in each case, since it happens that the battery plates adhere to one another and can not easily be removed individually.
Es sind daher auch schon Vorrichtungen vorgeschlagen worden, in welchen den Batterieplatten im wesentlichen lotrecht stehend in horizontal ausgerichteten Stapeln der Entnahmestelle zugeführt werden.Therefore, devices have already been proposed in which the battery plates are fed substantially vertically standing in horizontally aligned stacks of the sampling point.
Beispielhaft wird auf die EP 0 141 806 B, die EP 0 608 678 A und die AT 405 824 B verwiesen.For example, reference is made to EP 0 141 806 B, EP 0 608 678 A and AT 405 824 B.
Bei diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen werden die zu vereinzelnden Platten im wesentlichen lotrecht stehend in horizontal ausgerichteten Stapeln einer Vereinzelungsvorrichtung mit einem Greifer zugeführt, der Platten einzeln aus dem Stapel entnimmt. Dies bedingt eine aufwendige Kinematik des Greifers ("Plattenleger") , welcher einzelne Platten aus dem Stapel entnimmt und auf ein Förderband ablegt.In these known devices, the plates to be separated are fed substantially vertically standing in horizontally aligned stacks of a separating device with a gripper, which removes plates individually from the stack. This requires a complex kinematics of the gripper ("plate"), which removes individual plates from the stack and places on a conveyor belt.
Nachteilig bei diesen bekannten Vorrichtungen ist es, dass diese wegen der komplizierten Bewegungen der Entnahmegreifer, welche die Platten einzeln aus horizontalen Stapeln entnehmen sollen, hinsichtlich ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit begrenzt sind.A disadvantage of these known devices is that they are limited in terms of their performance because of the complicated movements of the removal gripper, which should remove the plates individually from horizontal stacks.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Gattung anzugeben, mit welcher beim Entnehmen von Platten, insbesondere (Blei-) Platten für Batterien und Akkumulatoren, aus Stapeln kürzere Taktzeiten möglich sind.The invention is based on the object, a device of the above specify the type mentioned, with which when removing plates, in particular (lead) plates for batteries and accumulators, from stacking shorter cycle times are possible.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe erfindungsgemäß mit einer Vorrichtung, welche die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 aufweist.This object is achieved according to the invention with a device having the features of claim 1.
Bevorzugte und vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind Gegen¬ stand der Unteransprüche.Preferred and advantageous embodiments of the invention are subject matter of the subclaims.
Da bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung die jeweils oberste Platte aus einem Stapel im wesentlichen horizontal liegender, plattenförmiger Gegenstände, welcher Stapel im wesentlichen lotrecht ausgerichtet ist, entnommen wird, ist eine einfache Bewegung des Entnahmegreifers ("Plat- tenleger") möglich. Dadurch können beim Vereinzeln von Platten aus Stapeln solcher Platten und beim Übergeben der vereinzelten Platten an Fördereinrichtungen kurze Taktzeiten erzielt werden.Since in the device according to the invention, the respective top plate from a stack of substantially horizontally lying, plate-shaped objects, which stack is aligned substantially vertically, is removed, a simple movement of the removal gripper ("plate tenleger") is possible. As a result, when separating plates from stacks of such plates and when transferring the separated plates to conveyors short cycle times can be achieved.
Insbesondere ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung für das Vereinzeln von in 'Stapeln herangeförderten Batterie- oder Akkumulatorplatten geeignet, wobei die vereinzelten Platten dann einer weiteren Bearbeitung, bei¬ spielsweise zum Bürsten der Kontaktfahnen, und Vorrichtungen zum Ein- ta,schen von Batterie- oder Akkumulatorplatten zugeführt werden können.In particular, the device according to the invention is suitable for the separation of battery or accumulator plates conveyed in ' stacks, the separated plates then being supplied for further processing, for example for brushing the contact lugs, and devices for inserting battery or accumulator plates can be.

The upper runs of the conveying elements 12 of the stack conveyor belt 10 are associated with two lifting devices 15, which can lift off stack 14 arranged on the feeder belt 10 from the conveying elements 12 for stopping the stacks 14, so that they are arranged at a distance from one another to the lifting device 30, which is arranged on the delivery-side end of the stack conveyor belt 10, can be supplied.
Die Hebevorrichtung 30 (vgl. Fig. 10.1 und 10.2) besitzt zwei unabhängig voneinander betätigbare Hebetische 31 und 32, von welchen einer 31 in seiner unteren Ausgangslage im unteren Bereich, also im wesentlichen in der Höhe der oberen Trume der Förderelemente 12 des Stapelzubringerban¬ des 10 angeordnet ist. Dieser untere Hebetisch 31 besitzt im Ausfüh¬ rungsbeispiel zwei Finger 33, die in der unteren Endstellung zwischen die Förderelemente 12 (Ketten, Bänder oder Riemen) des Stapelzubringer¬ bandes 10 eingreifen. - A -The lifting device 30 (see Fig. 10.1 and 10.2) has two independently operable lifting tables 31 and 32, of which a 31 in its lower starting position in the lower region, that is substantially in the height of the upper strands of the conveying elements 12 of the Stapelzubringerban¬ of 10 is arranged. In the exemplary embodiment, this lower lifting table 31 has two fingers 33 which, in the lower end position, engage between the conveying elements 12 (chains, belts or belts) of the Stapelzubringer¬ band 10. - A -
Der zweite Hebetisch 32 ist im oberen Bereich der Hebevorrichtung 30 angeordnet. An dem oberen Hebetisch 32 ist wenigstens ein in die Hebe¬ bahn vor- und zurückschiebbares Schwert 34 vorgesehen - vorzugsweise sind drei Schwerter 34 vorgesehen, die zwischen die Finger 33 des unte- ren Hebetisches 31 eingreifen können - um einen teilweise abgearbeiteten Stapel 14 vom unteren Hebetisch 31 zu übernehmen.The second lifting table 32 is arranged in the upper area of the lifting device 30. At least one sword 34, which can be moved back and forth in the lifting path, is provided on the upper lifting table 32-preferably three swords 34 are provided, which can engage between the fingers 33 of the lower lifting table 31-about a partially processed stack 14 from the lower Lifting table 31 to take over.
Auf diese Art und Weise können Stapel 14 in der Hebevorrichtung 30 vom unteren Hebetisch 31 angehoben werden, bis die oberste Platte in der Entnahmeposition angeordnet ist. Wenn ein Teil der Platten aus dem Stapel 14 entnommen worden, dieser also teilweise abgearbeitet worden ist, werden die Schwerter 34 des oberen Hebetisches 32 vorgeschoben und halten den teilweise abgearbeiteten Stapel 14, so dass der untere Hebe¬ tisch 31 abgesenkt werden kann und der inzwischen kleinere Stapel 14 vom oberen Hebetisch 32 übernommen wird und von diesem Hebetisch 32 schritt¬ weise weiter angehoben werden kann.In this way, stacks 14 can be lifted in the lifting device 30 from the lower lifting table 31 until the uppermost plate is arranged in the removal position. If a portion of the plates has been removed from the stack 14, that is, this has been partly processed, the swords 34 of the upper lifting table 32 are advanced and hold the partially processed stack 14, so that the lower Hebe¬ table 31 can be lowered and the meantime smaller stack 14 is taken from the upper lifting table 32 and can be gradually increased step by step from this lifting table 32.
Durch das Zusammenspiel des unteren Hebetisches 31, und den in dieThrough the interaction of the lower lifting table 31, and in the
Hebebahn vor- und zurückschiebbaren Schwertern 34 des oberen, ebenfalls nach oben anhebbaren Hebetisches 32 ist ein kontinuierliches Zuführen von Platten in die Entnahmeposition der Vereinzelungsstation 50 möglich.Lifting web forward and zurückschiebbaren swords 34 of the upper, also upwardly liftable lifting table 32 is a continuous feeding of plates in the removal position of the separating station 50 possible.
Die Vereinzelungsstation 50 besitzt einen Plattenleger 51, der mit Hilfe von Saugköpfen 52, die über das Gehäuse 53 des Plattenlegers 51 mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt werden, die jeweils oberste Platte eines Stapels aufnimmt, anhebt, und auf die Förderelemente 61 ("Flügelgruppe") eines als Zwischenförderer dienenden Flügelförderbandes 60 ablegt. Die verti¬ kalen Bewegungen des Plattenlegers 51 werden über ein Hebelgestänge 54 und Steuerkurven 55 oder Nocken gesteuert, so dass dieser so lange wie benötigt, nämlich bis die nächste Flügelgruppe 61 des Flügelförderbandes 60 in die Stellung für die Übernahme einer Platte vom Plattenleger 51 bewegt worden ist, angehoben bleibt. Die Abgabestelle, also die Stelle in der Platten einzeln auf ein einander gegenüberliegendes Paar aus Flügelgruppen 61 des als Zwischenförderer dienenden Flügelförderbandes 60 abgelegt werden, befindet sich im Bereich des Plattenlegers 51, so dass dieser nur vertikale Bewegungen ausführen braucht, wenn er eine Platte vom Stapel 14 aufnimmt und dann auf ein Paar aus Flügelgruppen 61 des Flügelförderbandes 60 ablegt.The singulator station 50 has a plate feeder 51, which lifts by means of suction heads 52, which are subjected to negative pressure via the housing 53 of the plate feeder 51, which receives each top plate of a stack, and on the conveying elements 61 ("wing group") as Intermediate conveyor serving wing conveyor belt 60 stores. The verti¬ cal movements of the Plattenlegers 51 are controlled via a lever linkage 54 and cams 55 or cams so that this as long as needed, namely until the next group of wings 61 of the vane conveyor 60 has been moved to the position for the acquisition of a plate from the slab 51 is raised. The delivery point, so the location in the plates are placed individually on an opposite pair of groups of wings 61 serving as intermediate conveyor wing conveyor belt 60 is located in the area of the Plattenlegers 51 so that it needs to perform only vertical movements when he a plate from the stack 14 and then deposits on a pair of wing groups 61 of the wing conveyor 60.
Der Plattenleger 51 besitzt ein Gehäuse 53 mit mehreren, im Ausführungs- beispiel vier, Saugköpfen 52, die mit Unterdruck beaufschlagbar sind. Zum Abgeben einer vom Plattenleger 51 abgehobenen Platte auf das Flügel¬ förderband 60 ist ein nockengesteuertes (Gestänge 56, Steuerscheibe 57) Ventil vorgesehen, das "Falschluft" in das Gehäuse 53 des Plattenlegers 51 einlässt, so dass die von diesem gehaltene Platte auf ein Paar aus Flügelgruppen 61 des Flügelförderbandes 60, und zwar das Paar, das sich gerade unter dem Plattenleger 51 befindet, abfällt.The slab 51 has a housing 53 with several, in the embodiment For example, four suction cups 52, which can be acted upon by negative pressure. In order to dispense a plate raised from the plate retainer 51 on the wing conveyor belt 60, a cam-controlled valve (link 56, control disk 57) is provided, which introduces "false air" into the housing 53 of the slab feeder 51, so that the plate held by the latter slips onto a pair From wing groups 61 of the wing conveyor belt 60, namely the pair, which is just below the plate 51, drops.
Um sicherzustellen, dass durch den Plattenleger 51 nur jeweils eine Platte vom Stapel 14 abgehoben wird, ist der Vereinzelungsstation 50 eine Vorrichtung zur Plattenvereinzelung 58 zugeordnet. Diese Platten¬ vereinzelung 58 besitzt einen vor- und zurückschiebbaren Finger 65, und einen mit Abstand gleich der Plattendicke unter dem Finger 65 angeordne¬ ten Teller 66, der ebenfalls vor- und zurückschiebbar ist (vgl. Fig. 9.1, 9.2) .In order to ensure that only one plate is lifted from the stack 14 by the slab 51, the separating station 50 is assigned a device for plate separation 58. This Platten¬ singulation 58 has a forward and zurückschiebbaren finger 65, and a distance equal to the plate thickness under the finger 65 angeordne¬ th plate 66, which is also pushed back and forth (see Fig. 9.1, 9.2).
Ein Stapel 14 wird entweder vom unteren Hubtisch 31 oder vom oberen Hubtisch 32 so weit angehoben, dass die oberste Platte von unten her an dem vorgeschobenen Finger 65 der Plattenvereinzelung 58 anliegt. Sobald dies geschehen ist, wird der Teller 66 vorgeschoben und dringt in den Spalt zwischen der obersten und der nächst unteren Platte ein, so dass die obere Platte von der darunter befindlichen Platte sicher getrennt wird und vom Plattenleger 51 mit Hilfe seiner Saugköpfe 52 abgehoben und auf das Flügelförderband 60 abgelegt werden kann.A stack 14 is lifted either from the lower lift table 31 or from the upper lift table 32 so far that the uppermost plate rests against the advanced finger 65 of the plate separation 58 from below. Once this is done, the plate 66 is advanced and penetrates into the gap between the uppermost and the next lower plate, so that the upper plate is securely separated from the plate underneath and lifted off the plate 51 by means of its suction cups 52 and on the wing conveyor belt 60 can be stored.
Vom Flügelförderband 60 werden Platten einzeln in Fig. 1 nach rechts bewegt.From the wing conveyor 60 plates are moved individually in Fig. 1 to the right.
Das Flügelförderband 60 besitzt zwei um je zwei Umlenkräder mit lotrech- ten Achsen umlaufende Endlosketten 62, von welchen mit Abstand vonein¬ ander Auflageflügel 61 für Platten ("Flügelgruppen") von den Endlosket¬ ten 62 in den Raum zwischen den Endlosketten 62 abstehend, vorgesehen sind. In jeder Flügelgruppe 61 sind an ihren in Bewegungsrichtung hinte¬ ren Ende Anschlagwinkel 63 für den sicheren Transport von Platten vor- gesehen. In dem Bereich, in dem sich die Trume der Endlosketten 62 in Fig. 1 nach rechts, also in Förderrichtung des Flügelförderbandes 60 bewegen, liegen einander zwei Flügelgruppen 61 gegenüber und bilden ein Paar aus Flügelgruppen 61, auf denen aufliegend eine Platte von der Vereinzelungsstation 50 weg transportiert wird (vgl. Fig. 5 und 6) . Im Bereich nach dem Plattenleger 51 ist dem Flügelförderband 60 eine Vorrichtung zum Erkennen von (unerwünschten) Doppelplatten (zwei aufein- anderliegende Platten) zugeordnet. Soferne eine "Doppelplatte" fest¬ gestellt wird, wird sichergestellt, dass diese Platten am Ende des Flügelförderbandes 60 in einen Auswurfschacht 64 abgeworfen wird. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass die erste Vakuumkammer 73 eines nachgeschalteten Vakuumförderbandes 70 nicht mit Unterdruck beauf¬ schlagt wird, so dass das Vakuumförderband 70 vom Flügelförderband 60 herangeförderte "Doppelplatten" nicht aufnehmen kann. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann im Bereich des als abgabeseitigen Endes des Flügel¬ förderbandes 60 eine Hebevorrichtung 76 vorgesehen sein, die einzelne Platten zum aufgabeseitigen Ende des Vakuumförderbandes 70 anhebt, so dass diese vom Vakuumförderband 70 aufgenommen werden, oder bei erkann¬ ten "Doppelplatten" nicht aktiviert wird, so dass Doppelplatten in den Auswurfschacht 64 fallen.The wing conveyor belt 60 has two endless chains 62, each circumscribing two deflection wheels with perpendicular axes, from which support wings 61 for plates ("wing groups") projecting from the endless belts 62 into the space between the endless chains 62 are provided are. In each wing group 61 stop angles 63 are provided for their safe transport of plates at their end in the direction of movement. In the region in which the runs of the endless chains 62 in FIG. 1 move to the right, that is to say in the conveying direction of the wing conveyor belt 60, two wing groups 61 face one another and form a pair of wing groups 61, on which a plate from the singling station 50 rests is transported away (see Fig. 5 and 6). In the area downstream of the plate stacker 51, the wing conveyor belt 60 is associated with a device for detecting (unwanted) double plates (two plates lying on top of one another). If a "double plate" is fixed, it is ensured that these plates are dropped off into a discharge chute 64 at the end of the wing conveyor belt 60. This can be done, for example, by not pressurizing the first vacuum chamber 73 of a downstream vacuum conveyor belt 70 so that the vacuum conveyor belt 70 can not pick up "double plates" conveyed by the wing conveyor belt 60. Alternatively or additionally, a lifting device 76 may be provided in the area of the discharge side end of the vane conveyor belt 60 lifting individual plates to the discharge end of the vacuum conveyor belt 70, so that they are taken up by the vacuum conveyor belt 70 or not in the case of recognized "double plates" is activated so that double plates fall into the discharge chute 64.
Das Vakuumförderband 70 ist mit Überlappung zum abgabeseitigen Ende des Flügelförderbandes 61 vorgesehen. Das Vakuumförderband 70 besitzt einen Endlosgurt 71 mit mehreren in ihm angeordneten Lochgruppen 72 und mehre- ren, dem unteren Trum des Gurtes 71, das sich in Fig. 1 von links nach rechts bewegt, zugeordneten Vakuumkammern 73, 74, 75. Die Vakuumkammern 73, 74, 75 sind einzeln und unabhängig voneinander mit Unterdruck beauf¬ schlagbar. Das Vakuumförderband 70 übernimmt, gegebenenfalls unterstützt durch die Hebeeinrichtung 76 vom abgabeseitigen Ende des Flügelförder- bandes 60 vereinzelte Platten und transportiert diese in Fig. 1 nach rechts. Die Bewegungen des Flügelförderbandes 60 und des Vakuumförder¬ bandes 70 sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass immer dann eine Platte auf einem Paar aus Flügelgruppen 61 aufliegend am Ende des Flügelförder¬ bandes 60 ankommt, wenn sich eine Lochgruppe 72 des Endlosgurtes 71 des Vakuumförderbandes 70 am abgabeseitigen Ende des Flügelförderbandes 60 befindet.The vacuum conveyor belt 70 is provided with overlap to the discharge-side end of the vane conveyor belt 61. The vacuum conveyor belt 70 has an endless belt 71 with a plurality of hole groups 72 arranged therein and a plurality of vacuum chambers 73, 74, 75 assigned to the lower run of the belt 71, which moves from left to right in FIG. 74, 75 are individually and independently beauf¬ beatable with negative pressure. The vacuum conveyor belt 70 takes over, if necessary supported by the lifting device 76 from the discharge-side end of the Flügelförder- band 60 individual plates and transports them in Fig. 1 to the right. The movements of the wing conveyor belt 60 and the Vakuumförder¬ band 70 are coordinated so that a plate on a pair of wing groups 61 resting on the end of the Flügelförder¬ 60 arrives when a group of holes 72 of the endless belt 71 of the vacuum conveyor belt 70 on the discharge side End of the wing conveyor belt 60 is located.
Das Vakuumförderband 70 kann für Wartungsarbeiten oder für das Beheben von Störungen in die in Fig. 2 strichliert eingezeichnete Stellung hochgeschwenkt werden.The vacuum conveyor belt 70 can be swung up for maintenance or for the elimination of disturbances in the position shown in dashed lines in Fig. 2 position.
Dem unteren Trum des Gurtes 71 des Vakuumförderbandes 70 ist im Aus¬ führungsbeispiel eine Einrichtung 80 zum Bürsten von Kontaktfahnen von Batterie- oder Akkumulatorplatten zugeordnet. Im Bereich dieser Ein- richtung 80 sind dem unteren Trum des Vakuumförderbandes 70 zugeordnete Klemmrollen 81 vorgesehen, welche Klemmrollen 81 dadurch, dass sie Platten von unten gegen den Endlosgurt 71 drücken, sicherstellen, dass die Platten beim Bürsten ihrer Fahnen keine unerwünschten Bewegungen ausführen und sicher weiterbewegt werden.The lower run of the belt 71 of the vacuum conveyor belt 70 is assigned in the exemplary embodiment a device 80 for brushing contact lugs of battery or accumulator plates. In the area of this device 80 are associated with the lower run of the vacuum conveyor belt 70 Clamping rollers 81 are provided, which pinch rollers 81, by pressing plates from below against the endless belt 71, ensure that the plates perform no unwanted movements when brushing their flags and safely moved on.
Dem abgabeseitigen Ende des Vakuumförderbandes 70 ist eine Hauptförder¬ bahn 90 für den Abtransport vereinzelter Platten, wie Batterie- oder Akkumulatorplatten, zugeordnet. Die im Bereich der Hauptförderbahn 90 vorgesehene Vakuumkammer 75 des Vakuumförderbandes 70 ist belüftbar, so dass in ihr Vakuum aufgehoben und die im Vakuumband 70 vorgesehenen Lochgruppen 72 in diesem Bereich nicht mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt werden, sodass eine Platte, die vom Vakuumförderband 70 an dessen unte¬ rem Trum durch den Unterdruck gehalten über der Hauptförderbahn 90 angekommen ist, losgelassen wird und auf die Hauptförderbahn 90 abfällt.The discharge-side end of the vacuum conveyor belt 70 is a Hauptförder¬ path 90 for the removal of individual plates, such as battery or Akkumulatorplatten assigned. The provided in the main conveyor line 90 vacuum chamber 75 of the vacuum conveyor belt 70 is ventilated so that lifted in their vacuum and provided in the vacuum belt 70 hole groups 72 are not subjected to negative pressure in this area, so that a plate from the vacuum conveyor belt 70 at its unte¬ Rem Trum held by the negative pressure above the main conveyor track 90 has arrived, is released and falls on the main conveyor track 90.
Die Hauptförderbahn 90 kann eine Förderbahn zu einer Vorrichtung zum Eintaschen von Batterie- oder Akkumulatorplatten sein, wie sie bei¬ spielsweise aus der US 6 499 208 A oder der US 6 670 072 A bekannt sind.The main conveyor track 90 may be a conveyor track to a device for bagging battery or Akkumulatorplatten, as spielsweise, from US 6,499,208 A or US 6,670,072 A are known.
