Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of conveyor technology, in particular the conveying of sheet products such. Printed products. It relates to a conveyor system and a method for conveying flat products with such a conveyor system according to claims 1 and 12, respectively.
  • the further conveyor is often a gripper conveyor in which a plurality of grippers are moved along a closed orbit.
  • a gripper conveyor in which delivered by a feed device in the form of a belt conveyor products are transferred to a gripper conveyor, for example, from EP-A 0557 680 or CH 655 488 known.
  • the arriving in dandruff formation products are taken in a takeover area of a curved or straight gripper orbit individually from each one gripper. Its gripper parts are to be moved from an open position to a closed position and vice versa.
  • a stationary Steuerkulisse ( ⁇ finungs- / Schliesskulisse), which cooperates with a control on the gripper, such as a control roller or a slider.
  • a control on the gripper such as a control roller or a slider.
  • the position along the orbit in which the grippers are closed or opened, and optionally the orientation change made by the gripper, is determined by the shape and position of the corresponding control link.
  • the control link is stationary, so that all grippers perform the same movement and thus opened or closed at the same opening or closing position and / or pivoted in the same way.
  • the US 4,552,349 shows a conveyor system for conveying printed products with a gripper conveyor, containing a concentricity with rotating grippers.
  • the conveyor system further includes a feed device with a conveyor belt and a subsequent to the conveyor belt transfer table.
  • the printed products are conveyed in imbricated formation on the conveyor belt, fed to the transfer table and then pushed synchronously to the cycle of the gripper conveyor on the transfer table to the gripper conveyor.
  • a single printed product is inserted into a pocket of a gripper and transferred to the gripper conveyor.
  • a discharge device is not provided.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an improved conveyor system for sheet products, in which products can not be selectively adopted in the transition between a feed device and a gripper conveyor.
  • the conveyor system according to the invention for flat products, in particular printed products comprises a feed device and a gripper conveyor.
  • the feed device can be, for example, a belt conveyor, on whose conveyor belt the products rest individually or in a scale formation. This can, for example, be located at the exit of a filming line, the products being conveyed then being, for example, printed products wrapped in film.
  • the gripper conveyor has in a conventional manner a plurality of grippers which are moved along a closed orbit.
  • the grippers each have two gripper parts which can be pivoted relative to one another and which can assume an open position and a closed position as well as possibly intermediate positions.
  • the position of the gripper parts and / or their orientation with respect to the Orbit is adjusted depending on the position of the gripper along the orbit by means of at least one control device.
  • This comprises at least one control link, which interacts with the grippers over at least a portion of the orbit.
  • This control link is, for example, a stationary closing link or a triggering or opening element or a link, with which a pivoting of one or both gripper parts relative to the orbit is realized.
  • the grippers are controlled by the control device in a transfer region of the orbit so that the gripper parts can be transferred from the open position into the closed position. In this way, a product can be picked up, held on and kept on while it is being held.
  • the grippers can be controlled by the control device in such a way that optionally individual grippers can be moved through the transfer region without receiving a product from the delivery device for further transport.
  • This can be realized in various ways, for example by individual or combination of the following measures: non-opening individual grippers before or in the transfer area or moving the closing position, so that products from the closed gripper can not be included; Pivoting individual grippers relative to the orbit before / in the transfer area, so that products are not introduced into the gripper; Keeping individual grippers in the transfer area open, so that the product is introduced but not grasped and falls out again.
  • the control device comprises at least one controllable control link with at least one movable element, such as a movable guide surface or a switchable switch; Preferably, it includes movable opening and / or Schliesskulissen and / or moving scenes for the position / orientation change of the gripper. These can be used alone or in combination with stationary scenes.
  • the guide surfaces of the movable scenes for example, occupy different positions in space and, depending on the situation, act as an active guide surface cooperating with the gripper or have no influence on the gripper. As a result, a change in the movement sequence of individual grippers can be realized.
  • To control the movable scenes is preferably a control unit.
  • Takeover area is understood to mean that part of the orbit of the grippers in which the grippers can basically interact with the products conveyed by the feed device in order to grasp them.
  • product is to be understood as a unit to be conveyed in each case; A product can consist of several sub-products.
  • the products may also be partial products, inserted or collected products; they may be present individually or as (partial) stacks; they can be foliated or unfoliated. For example, it is printed products wrapped in foil. We have to discard in this example Products where the wrapping is faulty or missing, or where partial or sub-products are missing.
  • the inventive method comprises the following steps: conveying the products with the feed device; Grasping and conveying the products through the grippers of the gripper conveyor by bringing the gripper parts in the transfer area from the open position to the closed position; and controlling the open or closed position and / or orientation of the grippers such that, optionally, individual grippers are moved through the transfer area without receiving a product from the feeder device.
  • the conveyor system according to the invention and the corresponding conveying method have the advantage that individual products are not deliberately picked up during the takeover of the products from the delivery flow by the gripper conveyor and thus are not further conveyed. They are therefore discarded in the transition region between feed and gripper conveyor by non-gripping. They fall down, for example, due to gravity and can be disposed of. Preferably, they are additionally additionally actively deflected downwards by the grippers. This minimizes the risk of uncontrolled product parts entering the further conveying path and leading to malfunctions there.
  • the grippers For adjusting the position of the gripper parts relative to one another and / or its orientation, the grippers preferably have control elements which cooperate with at least one guide surface of the control link of the control device.
  • each gripper type for use according to the invention can be used, provided that the control link is adjusted accordingly.
  • the grippers are pivotable as a whole relative to the orbit.
  • the pivot position (orientation of the gripper jaw in relation to the orbit) and the position of the two gripper parts relative to each other (opening state of the gripper jaw) are independently adjustable.
  • the non-recording or rejection of a product can be realized by pivoting away the gripper.
  • Changing the orientation can be realized largely force-free and thus has the advantage that the corresponding backdrop can be easily and structurally simple and subject to low wear. This also allows fast switching operations.
  • the grippers can, for example, as in the EP-A 0 600 183 .
  • EP-A 0557 680 or WO 2007/115421 be described described, to which reference is made here.
  • These grippers have two controls in the form of control rollers.
  • a control link (opening and / or Schliesskulisse) cooperates with one of the control rollers and controls in this way the movement of the gripper parts, so that thereby the open or closed position or generally the opening state of the gripper jaw is determined.
  • Another control linkage (positioning gate) cooperates with a second control roller, and thereby determines the orientation of the second gripper part and thus the entire gripper regardless of its open state in space. Pivoting position and the opening state of the gripper jaw are independently adjustable.
  • EP-A 0 600 183 The gripper parts according to EP-A 0 600 183 .
  • EP-A 0557 680 or WO 2007/115421 are biased in the open position and locked in the closed state by a locking mechanism.
  • the gripper can be opened by releasing the lock by means of a release element (opening element) acting on the locking mechanism.
  • the opening and / or closing position of the grippers along the orbit and their orientation or orientation change is determined by the shape of the control link (s) or by the shape of their guide surface (s), which cooperates with the control / the control elements, specified.
  • the above-mentioned triggering element is also assumed under control cam.
  • the guide surface and the associated closing position changed so that the closing position is in the direction of movement before the transfer area or before the normal closing position used for product intake; It may also be sufficient that only one gripper part is pivoted away without completely closing the gripper.
  • the gripper is not closed in and before the transfer area and / or moved in the closed state by the transfer area and / or pivoted as a whole in the open or closed state so that no product pickup is possible.
  • Another alternative is the pivoting away of the gripper or a gripper part without moving the closing position, so that the gripper can no longer receive a product due to the changed orientation.
  • the position of the guide surface (s) of the control link (s) with respect to the orbit can be controlled controlled by a control unit.
  • a control unit controls the course of the opening or closing operation and / or the orientation so; that a particular product is not included.
  • At least one control link is, for example with respect to the orbit at least in a portion of the orbit displaced or pivoted.
  • the control link can also act on the gripper only in a very small portion of the orbit in order to achieve a very short opening or closing operation. This can be supported by the gripper as in EP 0 600 183 .
  • EP-A 0557 680 or WO 2007/115421 is biased in the open or closed position.
  • two or more alternative guide surfaces of the control link (s) are present. If these are stationary, then it can be switched between them, for example by means of a switch. Depending on the switch position, the control elements of the grippers run either along one or the other guide surface. Alternatively, there may be a stationary and a movable control link whose guide surfaces, depending on the position of the movable control link, alternatively act as an active guide surface and determine the course of motion.
  • the gripper parts therefore in both cases undergo the movement pattern which is predetermined by the shape of the active guide surface, e.g. Product picking or swinging away before picking up, normal or early closing. In both variants, very short reaction times can be achieved, which enable in particular an action on only individual grippers. An individual switching and thus controlling individual gripper is possible even at high conveying speeds. Both variants also allow no heavy parts to be moved, e.g. only the switch or only the orientation of one of the gripper parts or the whole gripper (largely power-free) changing scenery.
  • a switch that can be used here is, for example, in the non-prepublished Swiss patent application no. 1888/06 described. Other switches are also usable.
  • a control signal from an upstream conveyor or machine component is used, which signals a malfunction.
  • a detection device may be present, in particular an optical sensor which is located in the conveying direction of the feed device in front of the gripper conveyor. In both cases, a control signal is transmitted to the control unit, which indicates the presence of a product not to be included in the flow.
  • the gripper conveyor is arranged so that its transfer area is at least partially the feed device.
  • the grippers approach during movement along the orbit from above to the feed device. Unabsorbed products can easily be moved downwards with gravity support, without disturbing the movement of the grippers.
  • the feed device ends, for example, next to or below the gripper conveyor.
  • the gripper can fulfill a dual function: it serves on the one hand for receiving products to be further promoted and on the other hand - by appropriate movement of the gripper parts - for active distraction of not be absorbed products.
  • the product intake and the active rejection will be explained below with reference to the drawings.
  • a plurality of grippers 12 are moved along a closed orbit U which here comprises two substantially vertically extending straight sections and arcuate connecting links therebetween.
  • the orbit is predetermined for example by the path of the drive member not shown here for the gripper 12.
  • the grippers 12 are present in the counterclockwise direction from top to bottom - to the feeder 50 back - and then moved back up.
  • the feed device 50 is located on the left below the gripper conveyor 10. It is a belt conveyor with a conveyor belt 52, which is oriented so that the products 60 supplied thereon are brought into the sphere of influence of the grippers 12. In the present case, the conveyor belt 52 is slightly inclined to this end and ends in front of the spatial area which the grippers 12 sweep over in their movement along the orbit U.
  • the grippers 12 are pivotally connected by means of a support member 18 with the drive member as a whole.
  • the grippers 12 comprise two gripper parts 14, 16 which can be pivoted relative to one another and which can assume an open position and a closed position and, if necessary, also intermediate positions.
  • the control link 40 extends in the left part of the orbit U substantially parallel to this. It interacts with one of the controls, namely with the trailing control roller 20 which is assigned to the rear gripper part 14 in the conveying direction. Through the control link 40 together with the control element 20, the orientation of the entire gripper or the trailing gripper part 16 is adjusted relative to the orbit U. In the present case, the orientation is selected so that the trailing gripper part 16 runs approximately perpendicular to the circulation path and thus the gripper jaw is oriented in the open state substantially perpendicular to the orbit. Since the control link 40 is missing in the right part of the orbit U, hang the gripper 12 due to gravity or its opening spring from the support element 18 downward.
  • the additional control link 30 serves to close the open gripper. It cooperates in the lower part of the orbit U with the second control element, namely the leading control roller 22, which is assigned to the front gripper part 14 in the conveying direction.
  • the guide ring surface 32 is curved outward with respect to the orbit. Thus, it presses the control roller 22 in the gripper movement along the orbit U with respect to the orbit to the outside.
  • the front gripper part 14 is moved to the rear gripper part 16 and the gripper 12 is closed.
  • the front gripper part 14 can be pivoted largely without force until shortly before reaching the actual closing state; until the final closure and locking a force is necessary, which is exerted by the Schliesskulisse 30.
  • the gripper 12 includes a locking mechanism in the form of Verrriegelungsbügels 24 and a latch 26, which are each connected to one of the gripper parts 14, 16 and enter into a closed state with each other a snap connection.
  • This snap connection can be solved by a control link in the form of a trigger element 28, the example in Fig. 2a + b or 3 is outlined.
  • the guide surface 29 of the trigger element 28 presses on the Verrriegelungsbügel 24 so that it is pivoted and releases from the locking lug 26. Due to the bias, the gripper parts 14, 16 then assume the open position.
  • Fig. 4a + b shows an example of the invention in which such problems are avoided.
  • the device is basically as in Fig. 1a + b built up. Instead of picking up all the products 60 and then picking them out again, according to the invention, the picking up of products 60 by the gripper conveyor 10 can already be specifically controlled. As a result, individual products 60 are optionally not picked up by grippers 12 and conveyed further by them. The following will only apply to the differences Fig. 1a + b received.
  • a further control link 80 in the present case.
  • This has a guide surface 82 which is movable relative to the revolving path U.
  • the guide surface 82 is pivotable about an axis 86 extending perpendicular to the orbit U, but it could also be displaceable in the plane of the drawing.
  • the two end positions of the guide surface 82 are in Fig. 4a respectively. Fig. 4b shown.
  • the movement of the link 80 takes place for example by means of a drive element 88, for example a hydraulic / pneumatic cylinder or a motor, which is controlled by a control unit 100.
  • the control unit 100 receives a signal for rejecting a product 60 from the upstream process or from a detection device 110, which is arranged in the conveying direction of the feed device 50 in front of the gripper conveyor 10.
  • Fig. 4a the control surface 22 is therefore no longer rolling on the guide surface 32 of the stationary control link 30, but at least partially on the guide surface 82 of the movable control link 80th
  • the shape of the resulting "effective" guide surface is different than in the case of Fig. 4a , whereby a different movement can be achieved.
  • the leading gripper part 14 is pivoted away at a further position 84 without the gripper 12 being completely closed.
  • This further position 84 is predetermined by the shape of the movable guide surface 82.
  • This position 84 is in the direction of movement of the gripper 12 in front of the above-mentioned normal closing position 34.
  • the gripper part 14 is therefore oriented so that the area swept by it or the whole gripper 12 does not overlap with the movement path of the products 60.
  • the gripper jaw In the position in which he would usually pick up a product 60, the gripper jaw has the "wrong" orientation, and thus there is no product intake.
  • the gripper 12 is then closed at the normal closing position 34 (here is the movable gate 80 behind the stationary gate 40), but without taking a product 60.
  • the movable link 80 Before the normal receiving and closing position, the movable link 80 must only provide for a brief change in the orientation of the leading gripper part 14, so that the product on the largely closed gripper jaw is conveyed past. This effect can be achieved largely force-free, also because the grippers have not picked up any load here and no complete closure and locking must be achieved.
  • the movable gate 80 can therefore be simple and easy to design. It only has to protrude beyond the stationary link 30 over a very small part of the movement path U and act on the grippers 12. As a result, a quick switching is possible. Overall, it can be switched with minimal effort between product intake and product rejections.
  • the gripper 12 is preferably moved so that its leading gripper part 14, as it moves through the transfer area A, deflects down the unacceptable product 60, which has already arrived at and protrudes beyond the end of the conveyor belt 52 of the shuttle 50. This product 60 is thus safely directed to the further conveyor 70 and can not reach the area between two grippers 12.
  • the deflection can be achieved, for example, in that the gripper 12 or the gripper part 14, after leaving the area of influence of the movable link 80, returns to its normal position, which is determined by the stationary links 30, and gives the product an impulse downwards.
  • the movable control cam 80 or its guide surface 82 extends in the direction of rotation over a length which may be shorter than the distance between two grippers 12. This makes it possible to influence individual grippers 12.
  • control link 30 described above which serves to adapt the closing position, can also be used. be switched (even mobile) or interact in the manner described with a movable control link.
  • Fig. 5 is shown in more detail how the change of the active guide surface described above can be realized mechanically.
  • the control gates 30, 80 are located in two different planes, which run in or parallel to the plane of the orbit U.
  • the control roller 22 connected to a gripper part 14 has a width b that is greater than twice the width b 'of the guide surfaces 32, 82, measured in a direction perpendicular to the mentioned planes.
  • the control roller 22 consists of two rigidly interconnected partial rollers 22a, 22b, which are movable about a common axis; but it can also be chosen a different form.
  • the partial roller 22a cooperates with the stationary guide surface 32, the partial roller 22b with the movable guide surface 82.
  • Fig. 6a-c show a further example of a device with a controllable backdrop, here a controllable opening link (trigger element 28), for targeted rejection of individual products 12 in three snapshots.
  • the basic structure is also as in Fig. 1a + B. Deviating from this, all grippers 12 are closed above the receiving area A at a closing position, not shown here.

  • This variant has the advantage that only one opening element 28 and an additional stationary Schliesskulisse must be used, which is the stationary Schliesskulisse 30 upstream in the transfer area A.
  • Fig. 7a + b shows another one Fig. 1a + b based variant with an outside of the actual gripper conveyor 10 arranged movable control link 80 'in two different snapshots.
