Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for conveying sheet material, in particular paper, cardboard or films, as well as a conveyor system with at least one printing line.
  • printing lines are used with multiple workstations, by means of which arcuate material can be edited. For example, sheets are printed, coated, cut, grooved, perforated and / or folded.
  • a printing line with several workstations is for example from the JP4327996 known.
  • Print lines of this type are usually tuned to exactly defined processes that can not be changed in the sequence, without changing the structure of the printing lines. Often all the sheets go through the printing line in the same way.
  • a system which comprises a first and a second printer, from which sheets are fed to a mixing module which has a sheet rotor by means of which the sheets can be rotated by 90 °. Furthermore, input buffers and output buffers are provided, from which the sheets are taken or into which the sheets are deposited. With this system, it is possible to transfer the sheets from a first printing line in a perpendicular thereto second printing line.
  • the blending module includes a plurality of controllable switches and at least one mixing path along which the sheets are merged and at least one bypass path along which the sheets can be fed from a first workstation directly to a second workstation.
  • the EP0807593A2 discloses a device for transporting a sheet along a transport path on the top of a conveyor belt which vacuum attracts the back of the sheet with a suction fan arranged so that air is sucked in a direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance of the sheet inside a bending area of the transport path ,
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to provide an improved apparatus and an improved method for conveying sheet material. Furthermore, an improved conveyor system with at least one print line is to be created.
  • a device for conveying sheet material is to be created, which makes it possible to realize two or more conveying paths and conveyor functions in a simple manner and with a small space requirement.
  • two or more process functions such as a recording function, a filing function, a mixing function, a sorting function and a deflection function, should be feasible in a simple manner. Furthermore, by means of the conveying device according to the invention, not only a delivery, but also a distribution of the sheet-like material as well as a bidirectional operation should be advantageously feasible.
  • the process material should be treated gently and advantageously processed and optically scanned to optimally control the process.
  • Conveying devices according to the invention should advantageously be able to be used at one or more points of the printing line in order to locally realize one or more of the mentioned process functions.
  • An adaptation to different process functions should be possible only a change of the operating mode and the implemented software.
  • printing lines should therefore be able to be set up and changed with little effort.
  • the device for conveying sheet material comprises control means for controlling the conveying process, at least one conveyor belt with air ducts provided therein and at least one pneumatic device connectable to the air ducts of the conveyor belt, so that fed from a receiving device sheets are pneumatically coupled to the conveyor belt and a delivery device can be fed.
  • the at least one receiving device and at least two dispensing devices are positioned such that the sheets which can be picked up by one of the receiving devices can be pneumatically coupled to the underside of the conveyor belt, transported and controlled by the control means from the underside of the conveyor belt and fed to the selected dispensing device.
  • At least two receiving devices and the at least one dispensing device are positioned such that the acceptable from one of the receiving devices sheet pneumatically coupled to the underside of the conveyor belt, transportable and controlled by the control means from the underside of the conveyor belt and the at least one dispenser can be fed.
  • the inventive conveyor device enables an advantageous transport of the sheet, which optionally accommodated at different locations, transported coupled to the underside of the conveyor belt, and can be optionally decoupled and discharged at different locations from the bottom of the conveyor belt.
  • the inventive conveyor device can be connected upstream of a workstation and remove sheets from a stack or a sheet buffer and feed the workstation.
  • the same conveying device can also be connected downstream of the workstations and capture and transport processed sheets and optionally deposit them on a stack or transport them via a dispensing device, for example, to a second workstation.
  • sheets can be selectively picked up by one of several sources, in particular sheet buffers, and fed to one of several sinks or destinations, in particular sheet buffers and work stations. Sheets can also be moved between multiple sources, especially sheet buffers, to sort sheets.
  • an intelligent sorting is advantageously feasible, identified in the extracted from a sheet buffer sheet and processed depending on the detected identity, such as a specific workstation or a specific sheet buffer be supplied.
  • sheets of the same identity can be placed in the same sheet buffer.
  • sheets can be taken from different sheet buffers and stored in a desired sequence in another sheet buffer. The sequence of an arc sequence can also be inverted without additional effort.
  • a sheet that will be delivered by a workstation such as a printer, may also pass directly past one or more sheet buffers to the next or second workstation.
  • the inventive conveyor device is therefore universally applicable at different points of a printing line or a conveyor system with multiple printing lines, particularly advantageous at intersections of printing lines.
  • the conveyor may optionally be used as a feeder, ie as a device which withdraws sheets from a stack, or as a stacker, ie as a device which feeds sheets to a stack. Due to the universal applicability of the conveyor device according to the invention, the traditional designations for the conveyor device according to the invention are respectively selected according to the respective application. If the conveyor device according to the invention precedes a printer, the technical term "feeder” is applicable. If the same conveyor is downstream of the printer, the term “Stacker” is applicable. If a mixed operation between two workstations takes place, the term “feeder stacker" is selected.
  • the conveyor can also selectively perform both functions, ie feed sheet to a stack and peel it off again. Further, the conveyor may also include or operate one or more sheet buffers, on which sheets also optionally Passed by and delivered elsewhere, which in addition to the "Feeder” - and "Stacker” functions additionally a "By-pass" function is realized.
  • the conveyor device can be used between two workstations, which serves as a stacker for one workstation and as a feeder for the other workstation, or optionally as a transfer unit.
  • the conveyor bow can also be moved bi-directionally on the bottom and / or on the top and bottom of the conveyor belt. That is, a sheet held on the underside of the conveyer belt can be shifted back and forth on the underside.
  • sheets can also be driven from the bottom of the conveyor belt to the top of the conveyor belt to a selected location and thereby turned by 180 °. There, the sheets can be decoupled and led away upwards or linearly outwards.
  • the guided up to the top of the conveyor belt and thus turned bow down for example, fed to a sheet buffer. This is particularly easily possible if the sheet is held by two parallel pneumatic conveyor belts, between which it can be guided downwards.
  • Sheets can be released from the conveyor belt by interrupting or inverting the air flow transferred to the conveyor belt. As a result, the sheets are not only decoupled from the conveyor belt, but transported up or down. In order for the sheet to reach the destination quickly, it is preferable to additionally use a transfer fan whose jet of air rapidly deposits the sheet on a receiver, for example a sheet buffer.
  • the detachment of the sheets from the conveyor belt or the picking up of sheets from a sheet buffer may also be effected by mechanical means, for example lever arms, which grasp and raise or lower a sheet.
  • lever arms For lifting bow preferably lever arms are used, which are provided with suction elements.
  • the sheet buffer can be raised or the conveyor belt or parallel conveyors lowered for picking or depositing sheets.
  • a shaft can also be arranged above a sheet buffer into which the sheets are dropped. After a sheet has been transported from the conveyor belt to the shaft entrance, the air flow in the air channels of the conveyor belt is inverted and the pneumatically held sheet is decoupled and blown into the shaft.
  • a plurality of conveyor belts are arranged serially one behind the other, so that they can preferably fulfill different functions at the same time.
  • one of the conveyor belts is configured in such a way, preferably mounted vertically displaceable, that it can absorb and deposit sheets.
  • This conveyor belt is preferably adapted to the maximum arc length and monitored by means of optical sensors. Once the complete entrance of a sheet is signaled on the conveyor belt, the conveyor belt can be lowered onto a sheet buffer and the sheet decoupled.
  • the conveying device comprises a rotation unit, which can detect supplied sheet and rotate at any angle, preferably by +/- 90 ° and 180 °. Turned sheets can be further processed in the same print line or transferred to another printing line.
  • a rotation unit can be serially coupled with another conveyor belt.
  • a rotation unit which has a rotatably mounted pneumatic conveyor belt, which is inserted, for example, alternately in one or the other conveying path at the intersection of two printing lines.
  • the rotary unit can cooperate with a conveyor belt and detect decoupled sheets from its underside, rotate and return to the underside of the conveyor belt.
  • Guided and rotated sheets guided along the first printing line can advantageously be deposited at the intersection of the first with a second printing line in a sheet buffer and again recorded and conveyed along the second printing line.
  • the at least one conveyor belt which is provided with air ducts, held by two shafts, of which at least one is designed as a pneumatic shaft and to have a cavity with one or more air channels.
  • the pneumatic shaft is connected to the pneumatic device such that air preferably is selectively transferable in one direction or the other through the pneumatic shaft for sucking or discharging a bend. In this way, various additional possibilities for advantageous promotion of the bow result.
  • sheets can be released from the conveyor belt such that they are guided by air ejection to a sheet buffer, arbitrarily deflected or returned by suction of air, or are led by interrupting the air supply straight, for example, to another conveyor or to the next workstation.
  • the switch function can be optimized and adapted in particular to the weight of the bow.
  • a conveying system with one or more printing lines can be constructed in a particularly simple and compact manner.
  • Conveyor devices according to the invention can be inserted between the workstations and adapted to them.
