Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for controlling flat products transported by means of clamps in a transport device, in particular printed products, according to claim 1.
- the object is to provide an alternative control device which makes it possible to control the number of sheet-like products transported in a clamp in the simplest and most reliable manner possible.
- the device according to the invention serves for the control of flat products transported by means of clamps of a transport device in a conveying direction. Each two at least partially overlapping products are held by a clamp in a first side edge region.
- the device is equipped with two sensors, wherein a first sensor is intended to generate a first detection signal called a reference signal when a clamp passes a reference region associated with the first sensor.
- a second sensor is arranged such that a so-called second detection signal is generated when at least a portion of one of the products of one of the free second side edge region passes through a second detection sensor associated with the second sensor.
- the second sensor is directed to the free second side edge region, a possible spatial obstruction of the transport means moving the clamps is avoided.
- the assembly, maintenance and adjustment costs for the second sensor can be reduced in this arrangement.
- Fig. 1 shows in a side view schematically a portion of a transport device 10, in which brackets 12, of which only one is shown, spaced from each other on a conveyor member 14 are arranged.
- the conveying member 14 may be formed, for example, as a conveyor chain or a conveyor belt. It is driven in a conveying direction F with a conveying speed v.
- the clamps 12 it is of course also possible for the clamps 12 to be arranged, for example, on rail-guided carriages, which in particular are also moved gravitationally in sections.
- the clamps 12 have a clamp mouth 16, which can be opened and closed by mechanical actuation.
- a respective first printed product 20 leading in the conveying direction F and a trailing second printed product 22 are held together.
- the printed products 20, 22 are, for example, folded printed products such as newspapers and magazines, but also other single-layer or multi-layered flat products.
- the printed products 20, 22 lie partially over one another with the formation of overlapping-free edge sections 24.
- the second printed product 22 trailing in the conveying direction F is closer to the base 26 of the clamping mouth 16
- the leading in the conveying direction F first printed product 20 is disposed closer to the bottom 26 of the clamp mouth 16 as the trailing in the conveying direction F second printed product 22.
- Due to the clamping of the two Printed products 20, 22 in the staple mouth 16 is a first side edge portion 28 which extends from the free ends of the staple jaws 18 in the direction of the base 26 of the clamp mouth 16 at the two printed products 20, 22, held firmly.
- the first side edge region 28 is essentially formed by fold-side sections of the printed products 20, 22.
- a second side edge region 29 lying opposite the first side edge region 28 comprises the free, to a certain extent also freely movable end regions of the printed products 20, 22 including an overlap-free edge section 24 of the first printed product 20.
- the first sensor 32 is a so-called “clamp sensor” and monitors an associated reference region 38, which is represented by the dotted line emanating from it. As soon as a clamp 12 passes this reference region 38, the sensor triggers a first detection signal designated as a reference signal.
- This reference signal is forwarded to an evaluation circuit 39 and serves to trigger a predetermined time interval, in which a so-called second detection signal of the second sensor 34 and a so-called third detection signal of the third sensor 36 are detected.
- the predetermined period of time preferably starts at a delayed time after the passage of the clamp 12 which has been set in response to the distance of the first sensor 32 from the second and third sensors 34, 36 and the conveying speed v.
- the second sensor 34 is arranged such that its associated detection area 40 is aligned with the second side edge area 29 which is opposite to the clip 12, in particular with the lower overlap-free edge area 24 of the first printed product 20. With such an arrangement of the second sensor 34 below and away from the conveyor member 14, its installation and alignment is very easy and with good accessibility possible.
- the second detection signal of this sensor 34 is forwarded to the evaluation circuit 39 and the presence of the first printed product 20 is registered. Should the overlap-free edge portion 24 not within the triggered period of time Detection area 40 pass, so no second detection signal is forwarded to the evaluation circuit 39 and the evaluation circuit 39 registers after the completion of the period of absence of the first printed product 20.
- the evaluation circuit 39 can then forward control signals to downstream processing facilities to a special treatment of not with the first Pressure range product 20 initiated clamp 12 to initiate.
- the third sensor 36 In order to determine the presence of the second printed product 22 trailing in the conveying direction F, the third sensor 36 is aligned such that its detection region 42 monitors the overlap-free edge portion 24 of the second printed product 22 in the first side edge region 28. Analogously to the mode of operation of the second sensor 34, the third sensor 36 also transmits the third detection signal to the evaluation circuit 39 as soon as the second printed product 22 passes the detection area 42 within the triggered time segment. If there is no detection of the second printed product 22, since, for example, the detection area 42 has not been passed through by the second printed product 22 or the printed products 20, 22 are congruent to one another at the position of the first printed product 20, an error from the evaluation circuit 39 will also result in this case registered and appropriate error handling procedures triggered.
- Fig. 2 a further embodiment of the inventive control device is shown.
- the illustrated section of the transport device 10 to the Control point 30 are two brackets 12, each with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22, which are at least partially superimposed to form overlap-free edge portions 24, shown.
- the trailing printed product 22 or the leading printed product 20 can be arranged closer to the base 26 of the clamping mouth 16 without impairing the functioning of the checking device, it is in the case of FIG Fig. 2 It is imperative that the first printed product 20 leading in the conveying direction F extends further into the clamping mouth 16 than the trailing second printed product 22.
- the first sensor 32 detects the passage of a clamp 12 through its reference area 38 and triggers the forwarding of its reference signal to the evaluation circuit 39 a time window in which second detection signals generated by the second sensor 34 can be registered.
- the second sensor 34 is associated with a ramp-shaped deflection element 44, for example in the form of a support plate.
- the detection region 40 of the second sensor 34 extends in the direction of the conveying direction F in the shadow of the deflection element 44. As the clips 12 approach the printed products 20, 22, the second side edge region 29 of the printed products 20, 22 slides onto the deflection element 44. When passing a in the conveying direction F rear deflecting edge 46 of the deflector 44 then oscillates the second If the first printed product 20 has been present and held in a correct position in the clip 12, this is detected by the second sensor 34 and sends a corresponding second detection signal to the first sensor Evaluation circuit 39 on.
- the diagram shown is for the second detection signals of the second sensor 34, the signal magnitude U as a function of the time t when passing the control point 30 of two brackets 12, each with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22 for in Fig. 2 shown embodiment of the inventive control device shown.
- the signal curve has two double peaks spaced apart from each other by a time difference T, wherein the respective earlier smaller signal peak of the passage of the first printed product 20 through the detection area 40 of the second sensor 34 and the respectively later larger signal peak of the passage of the second printed product 22 through the detection area 40 of FIG second sensor 34 is assigned.
- the time difference T between the respectively earlier and the respective later signal peaks corresponds at least approximately to the quotient of the distance of the clamps 12 and their conveying speed v, provided that the two variables remain constant between the passage of the detection area 40.
- the time segment W also entered in the diagram designates a time window triggered by the reference signal, in which the second detection signals of the second sensor 34 are expected when the printed products 20, 22 are completely equipped or in which they are detected or taken into account by the evaluation circuit 39.
- the signal magnitudes of the signal peaks which are respectively assigned to the first printed product 20 and the second printed product 22, differ because of the mutually shifted position of the printed products 20, 22 different sized sections of the detection area 40 of the second sensor 34 through the printed products 20, 22nd to be covered.
- due to the signal size due to the signal size, a positionally correct mounting of the printed products 20, 22 in the clamps 12 can also be assessed.
- the sensors 32, 34, 36 are preferably designed as very inexpensive, non-contact, optical sensors, for example optical proximity sensors, light barriers, etc., or as mechanical sensors. However, it is also possible to use imaging devices, such as digital cameras, with a triggering triggered after the staple passage or a continuous recording during a triggered time segment, as sensors 32, 34, 36. In particular, however, the first sensor 32 for detecting the clamps 12 may also be designed as a mechanical, capacitive or inductive proximity switch.
- the reference area 38, as well as the detection areas 40 and 42, are often not line-shaped in practice but depending on the type of sensor used spatially extended.
- the fact that the reference area 38 or the detection areas 40, 42 also encompass overlapping sections of the printed products 20, 22 during the detection of the passage of overlapping-free edge sections 24 of the printed products 20, 22 does not play a significant role for the control device according to the invention optionally, as already mentioned above, to determine whether the printed products are held in the correct position in the brackets, are used.
