Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a feed device for a machine for cross-cutting at least one strip of flexible material, in particular a strip of paper, continuously moving, to produce separate piles of documents cut transversely according to determined formats and for laterally shifting these cells relative to each other for identification purposes, said device comprising at least one drive means assigned to said flexible material strip comprising at least a first mechanically rotated roll and a second roll of support, freely rotating around its axis.
  • the operations consisting in cutting a line and grouping sheets of a document processing unit on paper supports or the like, in grouping sheets by stacking, are carried out by specific modules that intervene either after the cross section. leaves in continuous bands, before this cut. These modules all have the function of bringing together in a single stack several sheets cut side by side in parallel or superimposed strips.
  • the treatment line must necessarily have a significant length since it must progressively regroup two sheets initially arranged on two parallel tracks on a single track. Indeed, the lateral shift can only be done gradually because of the relatively fast longitudinal displacement of the leaves and a comparatively slower lateral displacement. In addition, these modules are mechanically complicated and bulky.
  • the present invention proposes to solve this problem by providing a feed device for a sheet-cutting machine, in particular sheets of paper or the like on which are printed documents by means of one or more printers fed by machines. rolls of paper in continuous strips, these sheets being cut transversely and then stacked separately or simply shifted each stack being identifiable with respect to the previous and the following through this separation or through this shift.
  • the device of the invention as defined in the preamble, is characterized in that it comprises at least one linear actuator arranged to carry said drive means of said strip of flexible material to be cut, and to move laterally and selectively said strip of flexible material upstream of said cross-sectional machine so as to form said stacks of documents.
  • each of said strips of flexible material is preferably assigned a specific drive means each comprising a first mechanically rotatable roll and a second support roller, freely rotatable about its axis.
  • the device advantageously comprises at least one linear actuator arranged to move laterally and selectively at least one strip of flexible material upstream of said cutting machine, transversely to the direction of travel of the strip of flexible material, to form said separate stacks of documents.
  • said drive means is mounted on a frame carried by a movable platform integral with said linear actuator which is arranged to be displaced transversely with respect to the direction of travel of the flexible material strip.
  • the two driving means are advantageously arranged in a superimposed manner on the same frame carried by said mobile platform integral with said linear actuator which is arranged to simultaneously move the strips of flexible material transversely with respect to their direction of travel.
  • Said linear actuator preferably comprises a jack coupled to said platform, this jack being pneumatic, hydraulic or actuated by an electric motor.
  • the device comprises detection means associated with each strip of flexible material continuously moving, these means comprising at least one read cell of at least one code containing information relating to the cutting format and / or lateral positioning of the documents to be cut.
  • Said detection means advantageously comprise at least two read cells for each of the strips of flexible material, one of these cells being arranged to determine the format of the document to be cut and the other to give, if necessary, an offset signal. side of the strip of flexible material concerned.
  • said code is an optical read code.
  • said linear actuator is arranged to have several levels of lateral displacement, each of these levels corresponding to a degree of shift of a stack of cut documents.
  • said code contains a information that triggers a priority signal defining which bands are brought to the cutting machine as a priority.
  • the feeding device 10 comprises in this case two conveying circuits of the flexible material to be cut, in this case two strips of paper or the like, hereinafter referred to as the lower band 11 and the upper band 12, on which , for example, been printed documents that one wishes to cut into sheets then gather in piles separated from each other to be able to identify them.
  • the device is equipped with individual drive means assigned to the respective strips.
  • the lower band 11 is associated with a lower drive means 13 and the upper band 12 is associated with an upper drive means 14.
  • the lower drive means 13 comprises a first roller 13a, said roller drive, mechanically driven by a servomotor 13b and a second roller 13c, said support roller, freely rotatable about its axis.
  • the upper drive means 14 comprises a first roller 14a, said drive roller, mechanically driven by a servomotor 14b and a second roller 14c, said support roller, freely rotatable about its axis.
  • Said lower drive means 13 and said upper drive means 14 are mounted on a frame 15 carried by a mobile platform 16 integral with a linear actuator 17 arranged to be displaced transversely with respect to the direction of travel of the belts 11 and 12, in the direction of the arrows A and B.
  • the linear actuator may for example comprise a pneumatic cylinder 18 or any other member capable of moving the platform 16.
  • a management unit (not shown) which receives signals transmitted by various sensors arranged along the routing circuits of the strips 11 and 12.
  • a management unit receives signals transmitted by various sensors arranged along the routing circuits of the strips 11 and 12.
  • a first cell 11a which detects the input edge of the lower band 11
  • a second cell 11b which detects marks intended to be interpreted by the management unit in order to control the various moving parts, that is to say the servomotor 13b and / or the linear actuator 17 and move longitudinally and / or laterally the corresponding strip 11.
  • These marks advantageously contain also information that defines the priority of the feed to the cutting machine of one or the other band or the two bands simultaneously.
  • first cell 12a which detects the input edge of the upper band 12
  • second cell 12b which detects marks intended to be interpreted by the management unit in order to driving the various moving members, that is to say the servomotor 14b and / or the linear actuator 17 and moving longitudinally and / or laterally the corresponding band 12.
  • a cutting machine 20 schematically represented by a rotary drum 21 equipped with a hill 22 for cutting the sheet strips, transversely to the direction progress of these bands.
  • the cutting machine is a conventional machine, known per se and the rotating drum with its rotating knife could also be replaced by a guillotine cutting mechanism or any other known means.
  • the figure 3 is a perspective view of a device according to the invention, constructed to operate with two paper strips at the entrance of the line which is extended by a cross-sectional machine (not shown). It essentially comprises a frame 110 which carries a first input roller 111 which guides the lower band 11 and a second upper roller 112 which guides the upper band 12. It will be noted that the two strips of flexible material to be cut 11 and 12 form loops at the entrance of the device. These loops are used to build reserves to allow speed-adjustable or even sequential drives in the device and up to the cutting machine, while printing documents is continuous.
  • the frame 115 carries the mobile platform 116 supported by the actuator 117 associated with a pneumatic cylinder 118 or the like.
  • the actuator 117 may be a ball carriage or the like.
  • Platform 116 carries the training medium assigned to the lower band 11 and the drive means assigned to the upper band 12 respectively with the servomotor 111a and the servomotor 112a. It is found that this construction is extremely compact and has no over-length between the entrance of the strips 11 and 12 and their output to the cutting machine.
  • the figure 4 is a schematic view illustrating the path of the strips of flexible material 11 and 12 and the arrangements of the stacks that can be made after cutting with the feeding device described.
  • Two superimposed paper strips 11 and 12 are conveyed to the input of the device 10 and, following the reading of codes, shifted sequentially in the longitudinal direction or laterally in a transverse direction, as shown by the double arrow C, and then fed to the cutting machine.
  • the cutting machine produces individual sheets in the predetermined format following the reading of codes carried by the bands and read by the cells.
  • the strips are introduced sequentially, superimposed or staggered depending on whether the linear actuator moves them or not, or that the servomotors accelerates or slows them down. It is thus possible to obtain offset stacked stacks P1, or juxtaposed stacks P2.
  • the device of the invention is not limited to this embodiment as described.
  • the number of rolls of flexible material may be greater than two or even limited to one.
  • the offsets could be multiplied, that is to say that one could consider making batteries staggered to different degrees to identify a larger number of batteries. Nevertheless, the construction of the device remains compact and easy to manage, the operations of each of the sequences being performed quickly and without complications.
  • all or only one or more of the bands may be associated with one or more linear actuators arranged to move one or more strips laterally.
  • the drive servomotors of each of the belts are able to accelerate or slow down the corresponding band in order to define the feeding priorities of each band to the cutting machine. These speed modulations are controlled by the code reading cells containing the appropriate information.
