  • the automatic removal of bars allows flat goods from an open outer packaging and their careful and safe transport to any destination in the vicinity.
  • the elements of the arrangement which act in the x-direction comprise a pair of side wings which are arranged on two opposite sides with respect to a y-axis of the device and, after corresponding pivoting, each have one in the x-direction or in x-direction acting force on the rod of flat goods can exercise that the side wings along a z-axis perpendicular to the y-axis and linearly movable and lockable in at least two axial positions along the z-direction, and that the Side wings are designed so that they can exert a force on the rod of flat goods in the z direction.
  • This can indeed accomplish the desired automated removal of rods of flat goods from an open outer packaging, but obviously at the cost of an extremely complicated electromechanical system with a corresponding number of potential sources of error and, of course, correspondingly
  • the present invention is based on the object to modify with costly technical means, a device for automatic removal of stacked, flat products of the generic type with the features defined in that the advantages of the known gripper systems, especially the fully automatic removal of the flat products an outer packaging can also be achieved, but the technical effort for this should be significantly lower.
  • This object is achieved in a surprisingly simple and cost-effective manner by providing a drum rotatable about a horizontal longitudinal axis, which is distributed around its circumference four each offset by 90 ° from each other, radially incised having mutually equal chambers, which are sized in that they can each receive a tray with stacked products, that the drum can be rotated so that the first chamber is positioned in a zero-clock position with the receiving opening facing upwards for inserting a tray with products stacked in the direction of the longitudinal axis, simultaneously with the second chamber in a nine o'clock position in neutral position, the third chamber in a six o'clock position in an overhead removal position with downwardly directed opening for removing the stacked products from the third chamber under the action of gravity and optionally a shaking motion and finally, the fourth chamber is positioned at a three o'clock position in the disposal position for removing the empty tray, and that below the drum, following the third chamber positioned at its picking position, a transport means for loading with the container from the opening of the
  • the new inventive idea is to use instead of a complex gripper mechanism a simple rotatable drum with appropriately designed chambers to the functions of automatable loading with a filled with processed flat products tray, the targeted automatic removal of the entire stack of flat products from the tray below Influence of gravity as well as the uncomplicated disposal of the emptied tray out of the drum.
  • a particularly simple and reliable device for the automatic removal of stacked, flat products from an open-topped outer packaging can now be provided without major manufacturing effort.
  • Embodiments of the device according to the invention are preferred, in which the transport device comprises a horizontally extending rail system, on which the stack of flat products moved out of the opening of the third chamber in its overhead removal position can be received in the horizontal direction away from the drum for further transport.
  • At least one rail of the rail system can be moved in the vertical direction in order to promote or initiate the removal of the stack from the outer packaging.
  • the vertically movable rail comprises a vibration unit with which the stack removal can be initiated in a defined manner and carried out safely and completely.
  • the rail system has two parallel with horizontal spacing arranged, movable along the rail system slide, which moved out in the removal position from the third chamber stack of products at the beginning of the stack and Limit the stack end and thus enable a loss-proof and tamper-proof onward transport of the entire stack.
  • the transport device may comprise a carriage and / or a carriage and / or a conveyor belt for receiving the stack of flat products moved out of the opening of the third chamber in the overhead removal position and for transporting it further.
  • a movable in the radial direction of the drum lifting unit is provided inside the drum, which is mechanically coupled to a tray inserted in a chamber and on the one hand ensures its tight fit within the chamber during the rotational phases, on the other hand aids in the removal of the stack from the tray in the six o'clock position.
  • embodiments of the device according to the invention are also advantageous, in which, radially outward over the drum following the first chamber in its zero-clock loading position, a conveying device for automatically feeding the filled into the first chamber, filled with a stack of flat products Overpacking is provided.
  • the drum may have a set of four additional chambers at 45 ° offset from the first four chambers to increase either the capacity and processing speed of the equipment or its flexibility in processing different flat products.
  • the chambers of the first set have a different size than that of the second set in order to be able to process flat products or outer packages of different sizes with the same device.
  • inventions of the inventive device shown in the figures of the drawing for the automatic removal of stacked, flat products 1, preferably prefolded folded products such as packing slips, leaflets, booklets, outserts or lying flat carton blanks, from an open-topped outer packaging 2; 6, in particular from a tray, according to the invention are characterized in that a rotatable about a horizontal longitudinal axis drum 3 is provided, which is distributed around its circumference four each offset by 90 ° staggered, radially cut mutually same chambers 4 having such dimensions are that they can each receive a tray with stacked products 1, that the drum 3 can be rotated so that the first chamber in a zero-clock position (I) with upwardly directed receiving opening for inserting a tray 2 with in the direction the longitudinal axis of stacked products 1, wherein at the same time the second chamber in a nine o'clock position (II) in neutral position, the third chamber in a six o'clock position (III) in an overhead removal position with downwardly directed opening to Removing the stacked
