Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for rotating stacks of sheet or foil-like
- Products such as in particular of documents, letters and the like, according to the preamble of claim 1, and a method for rotating at least one sheet or sheet-like product, in particular the rotation of groups, that is, loose stacking of multiple documents or sheets.
- the present invention relates
- the invention relates to a device for rotating documents and letters and the like, for example when being fed into a packaging device, such as for enveloping in envelopes.
- the documents are usually printed 2-up, ie 2 documents next to each other and processed.
- the documents usually have that
- the direction of rotation to the left or right is usually determined by the position of the
- Stack of documents could not be processed because it would slip apart.
- the process is on it instructed to transport the object to be rotated along a curved edge, which would not be possible with a corner of a sheet of paper.
- the object of the present invention is to provide another solution for turning sheet-like
- Products in particular documents individually or as a stack, letters and the like, to propose, which allows increased throughput during the turning process, takes up little space, a variable thickness to be processed and the processing of several loosely stacked documents and this without the transport axis to move permanently ,
- the present invention proposes a solution with which this turning operation can be carried out with significantly higher throughput and lower loads for both the documents and the machine elements.
- the objects to be rotated are individual documents or groups of documents consisting of several documents stacked on top of each other or, more generally, flat objects. It can also be around elsewhere
- Document groups are fed portrait (longitudinal) of the chain of input modules.
- the turning device has the
- the task is to rotate the documents / document groups by 90 ° either clockwise or counterclockwise, so that they can subsequently be fed landscape (transverse) to the inserting module.
- the rotation is also landscape - portrait or of documents
- the center of the document should be on the same axis both before rotation and after rotation.
- Stopping the documents with subsequent turning in place during start / stop operation takes a relatively long time, so that in the future required cycle times can no longer be achieved become. What is required is therefore a principle that controls the documents within a short time by 90 ° in the desired direction, but without the document permanently moving laterally and optionally also allows the further transport of non-rotating documents.
- the rotation of the documents is realized by two pairs of rollers rotating at different speeds, thus causing the document clamped between the rollers (or the clamped document group) to rotate.
- the two pairs of rotating rollers can each have a separate drive.
- Direction of transport direction directed rotate and the transport of documents is not interrupted, i. that no
- Showing: 1 shows schematically the alignment of the documents before and after the rotating device
- FIG. 6 shows schematically a pair of rotary rollers of the device according to the invention.
- FIG. 7 shows the rotary roller geometry of the rotary roller pair from FIG. 6.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically a transport device, wherein in the transport direction A, the document 1 is transported, which is initially transported rectangular in the longitudinal direction.
- the document 1 In order finally to be fed correctly to an inserting unit with envelope 5, the document 1 must be rotated by 90 ° in a turning device 9. It is advantageous that on the same transport already from the beginning correctly
- rotating and non-rotating objects as desired in the device, that is to say to a rotating one, e.g. also follow an object not to be rotated, which is transported without rotation through the device while the previous one has been rotated.
- FIGS. 2a-2c schematically show the turning process for a document 1 in the rotating device 9, in FIG. 2a before the start of the turning operation, in FIG. 2b during the turning process, and in FIGS. 2a-2c
- the decisive factor is that the speeds of the two pairs of rotating rollers increased at the right time, respectively. be reduced to start the rotation. Depending on the desired direction of rotation is the
- a pair of rotary rolls can also be set to zero
- FIGS. 2a-2c show the turning process with 3 graphics (illustration on the left) including the schematic course of the velocity profiles (illustration on the right).
- the middle curve 16 represents the path of the center M of the document 1. Since the rotation is started before the center of the document has reached the rollers, the document is conveyed out of the center of the transport axis A. Since the rotation continues after the center of the document has passed through the turning rollers, the center is subsequently shifted again, so that at the completion of the turning operation, the center of the
- Transport axis A is located.
- the above invention differs from on-the-spot turning.
- the document is rotated about the near-immovable center.
- the exact time of the speed change can be determined by monitoring the position and speed by means of suitable sensors, preferably light barriers and
- Encoder and corresponding calculations of the controller are defined depending on the document length.
- servomotors 33, 36 driven.
- the drive can be done for example by means of belts 41, 43, wherein the transmission of the drive is effected on corresponding shafts on which the pairs of rollers are mounted.
- both the upper and the lower revolving rollers are driven, since a merely revolving counter-pressure roller usually results in shearing / carrying out of the stack.
- the overdrive from the lower to the upper roller can be done via gears 31, 32. Since both individual documents and groups must be processed to a thickness of a few millimeters, the upper shaft 34, 35 are sprung and can go upwards.
- the two upper shafts 34 are stored for example in a common bearing block, so that they together after can be pressed up and no skewing can result, which may be negative on the
- the storage in a common storage block is a possible embodiment.
- the separate storage is in any case also possible, for example, to be able to process objects of the same thickness on the left and right.
- FIG. 5a shows two transport roller pairs 51, 53 and 52, 54, which are arranged upstream of the rotating device, and also two pairs of transport rollers 61, 62 and 63, 64 connected downstream of the rotating device 9.
- the distance of the additional transport rollers should be chosen so that even the smallest format always becomes at least two adjacent pairs of rollers.
- the upper transport rollers are preferably spring-mounted, so that
- pairs of transport rollers are analogous to the rotary rollers for the reasons mentioned above
- FIG. 5b shows the state when feeding or transport away the document, where the additional Transport roller pairs are closed and thus one
- FIG. 5 c shows the roller pairs of FIGS. 5 a and 5 b in plan view.
- the pairs of revolutions 11,12,13,14 have separate axes and left and right separate drives B resp. C.
- the pairs of transport rollers have the two upper ones
- Print area between paper and rolls very small. Ideally, this is a point contact, as shown in Fig. 6, but in the
- Fig. 7 shows a detail of the contact area of
- Rotary rollers such as the rotary rollers 11, 12.
- FIGS. 1 to 7 are of course only examples for a better explanation of the present invention.
- the materials used for the rolls are not primary
- the present invention can be used at various locations within a document processing machine. As already mentioned, the invention is described, for example, for rotating documents such as sheets, but it is generally possible to speak of flat objects or products. these can
- Envelopes that are filled or unfilled and have an open or closed flap are made.
- the angle of rotation for the documents does not have to be exactly 90 °. Even with angles smaller or greater than 90 °, the desired result can be achieved by subsequently aligning the documents together with an alignment possibility.
- the device is of course also able to correct distortions of documents or stacks thereof.
- Suitable guide plates can prevent the corners of the documents from fluttering unintentionally during the turning process.
- a possible unfolding of the turning device simplifies the removal of a paper jam.
- the present invention provides a higher achievable throughput.
- the continuous movement of the rotation and the absence of start / stop, the paper transport is gentler and the risk of damage and the
- Machine components are spared and less power is required.
- the device requires little space and is able to turn especially controlled stacked products.
