Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a braking device within a receiving station of a sheet-work machine.
  • Such a machine usually comprises an insertion station in which is installed a stack of sheets which are successively removed from the top of this stack to be sent on a margin table.
  • each sheet is placed in position before its front edge is gripped by a series of transport clamps distributed along a transverse bar, also called clamp bar, the ends of which are integral with drive chains side.
  • These transport clamps drive the sheets through the different workstations of the machine.
  • These workstations can be in particular a cutting station followed by a cutout ejection station, to lead to a receiving station in which each sheet is released by the transport clamps on the top of a stack formed on an evacuation pallet.
  • the sheet is first supported on arrival in the station by a rear shelf and possibly two side shelves, which retract thereafter to drop.
  • the only braking by deceleration The front gripper bar may cause the buckling of its rear part which tends to catch up with the front part.
  • This waste grid must be braked by a complementary device acting against its surface.
  • the movement of the braking member is controlled by a rotary cam connected by a kinematic chain to the drive mechanism of the machine.
  • This rotary cam acts on this braking member by means of a vertical sliding slide, whose downstream portion has an oblique surface upwards. Since the braking member is mounted on a longitudinally displaceable frame, its displacement remains constant for the sheets having a long longitudinal dimension, then decreases progressively as the frame is advanced with respect to the oblique part of the horizontal slide.
  • the movement of the braking brush is optimal for a given sheet size, to the detriment of other formats. It is the passage of the leaf transport clamp bar which determines the possibility of descent of the braking brush. Or the kinematic connection between the descent control of the brush and the drive mechanism of the machine is a limitation of the accelerations communicated to the brake brush.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a device adapted to entry-level machines, achieving performance close to that of the device with a controlled electrical control described in the document EP 1 153 869 , while avoiding the disadvantages of the device described in the document CH 689 977 with a generation of purely mechanical movements.
  • the subject of the present invention is a braking device within a receiving station of a sheet-element working machine, as defined by claim 1.
  • upstream and downstream are considered in relation to the direction of movement of the sheets: an upstream portion being oriented towards the entrance of the station on the left of the Figures 1 to 4 , while a downstream part is oriented to the right of these figures.
  • a braking member 1 in this example a brush, is pivotally mounted about a transverse axis 2 around which it is likely to move between two limit positions illustrated on the Figures 1 to 4 .
  • a braking member 1 constituted by a brush
  • this member could be constituted by any suitable braking member.
  • a detector not shown is used to detect the passage of the clamp bar, identically to the detector 6 of the device described in FIG. document EP 1 153 869 .
  • the braking brush 1 must be in the raised position to allow the passage of the cross clamp bar as it must lower to press each sheet against a bearing surface, as soon as the clip bar is passed and the tongs released the leaf.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 3 will be actuated by an electrical command following the detection of the passage of the gripper bar. As the speed of a pneumatic cylinder can not be controlled and its movement is brutal, a direct connection between the pneumatic cylinder 3 and the braking member 1 would result in a too violent impact which could bring up the back of the sheet, which would not have time to go down before the next clip bar. In addition the impact could break some fragile parts of the cut sheet.
  • the jack 3 acts on a linear cam 4 which pivots about a transverse axis 5, and on the surface 6 of which is supported a roller 7.
  • the roller 7 is carried by a support 8 pivoting about the transverse axis 2, support 8 on which is also fixed the braking member 1.
  • the jack 3 When the jack 3 is actuated after the passage of a clamp bar, it acts on the linear cam 4 which pivots about the axis 5, and rolls the roller 7 along its surface 6 thus pivoting the support 8 and the braking means 1.
  • the surface 6 of the cam 4 along which the roller 7 will roll will make it possible to modulate the speed of rotation of the braking member 1 around the transverse axis 2, and thus to limit the brutality the impact of the braking member 1 on the sheets.
  • the device represented on the Figures 1 to 4 also has several optional advantageous features.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 3 and the linear cam 4 represented on the Figures 1 to 4 are carried by a support 9.
  • the support 9 can move slidably along guide bars 10, in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane of the sheets on which the braking means 1 support. This characteristic allows a setting to be made.
  • the braking force exerted by the braking member 1 on the sheets by means of a mechanical control 11.
  • the figures 1 and 3 represent the device set to produce the maximum braking force
  • the figures 2 and 4 represent the device set to produce the minimum braking force.
  • a pneumatic cylinder produces shocks at the end of the race, which is not desirable to propagate.
  • the two ends of the surface 6 of the linear cam 4 have a constant radius with respect to the transverse axis 5 about which the cam 4 pivots.
  • the speed with which the leaves are released by the clamps depends on the rate of the machine. When this rate is low, the speed of the sheets is also low, and it is advantageous to delay the braking after the passage of the clip bar with respect to a higher rate.
  • the device according to the invention therefore optionally comprises means for delaying the actuation of the pneumatic cylinder (3) as a function of the rate of the working machine.
