Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for separating printed products such as books, brochures or book blocks from a stack according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Destacking devices are used to separate stacked products such as books, brochures or book blocks and feed them to a processing machine.
  • the inlet of the singling belt is a support plate for supporting the trailing edge of the second bottom book block relative to the singling belt when pulling away the bottom book block.
  • the said retaining element can be positioned for this purpose according to the format length of the book block to the separating belt.
  • the singling belt is assigned a cyclically driven feed belt for tracking a following stack into the singling position of the singling belt up to the retaining element.
  • the present invention has for its object to form a device for separating printed products such as books, brochures or book block from a stack according to the preamble of claim 1, which is freed from the disadvantages mentioned in a simple construction.
  • the device comprises a first transport device, which effectively detects the printed product to be separated from the stack, and a retaining device, which is arranged at a distance from the first transport device such that an opening for the product to be separated is formed between the first transport device and the retaining device ,
  • the retaining device is arranged to be height adjustable relative to the first transport device, such that the passage can be adapted to the thickness of the printed products to be separated.
  • the retaining device comprises a movable element which comes into contact with the stack in such a way that it exerts a force on the first transporting device substantially perpendicular to the transporting direction and thus supports the tracking of the remainder of the stack onto the first transporting device. It is essential that the next to be singulated printed product along the retaining device is tracked so that the force applied by the Kantaktelement force flow can pass through the entire stack, but at least acts on this next to be separated print product. In this way, the next to be singled print product is securely tracked in the separation plane of the first transport device, while its bins safely prevented. In addition, so can be dispensed with a tilting of the retainer in the transport direction, which can simplify both the structure and the handling during operation, since, for example, the adjustment of the skew to the product thickness omitted.
  • the contact element transmitting the tracking force is drive-connected to a controllable drive, so that the movement of the contact element can be adapted in a simple manner to the desired separation performance and product parameters. In this way it is also possible to selectively interrupt the movement, for example in clock gaps, for product-friendly processing.
  • the retainer is mounted so that it can be positioned substantially parallel to the plane defined by the first conveyor.
  • the retainer can each be positioned centrally of the center of gravity of the stack, so that rotation of the stack is avoided around the retainer, even if the width of the stack significantly exceeds that of the retainer. This is also a very slim design of the retaining device and thus a very good accessibility of the separation area possible.
  • the contact surface of the stack nachEnglishestde force applying contact element essentially flat, so that shifts within the remainder of the stack as well as damage to the product edges are avoided.
  • the retaining device comprises an endlessly circulating belt whose stack facing and at least partially in contact with this strand is driven along the stack height to the first transport device tapering.
  • the belt satisfies both the restraining function in the direction of the first transport device and the tracking of the rest of the stack to the first transport device, which allows a simple and compact construction of the retainer.
  • the deflecting region of the belt facing the first transport device defines the passage for the singulation, so that the tracking is ensured until directly at this passage, which further increases the functional reliability of the device.
  • the tracking contact element is designed as a vibratory conveyor, which allows a very robust and low-maintenance construction.
  • the drive and the bearing of the contact surface acting on the stack are designed such that it is excited to oscillate substantially in a plane which is defined by the feed direction of the first transport device and the normal to the transport plane formed by the first transport device, wherein the orientation of the vibration with respect to the tracking direction of the remaining stack is inclined.
  • the arrangement of the contact surface of the vibratory conveyor acting on the stack corresponds to that of the previously described belt.
  • Both embodiments preferably comprise an adjustable separating element, which is mounted between the tracking contact element and the stack such that it shields a variable region of the contact element with respect to the stack and thus a simple adaptation of the extent of the contact region to the printed products and the separation performance regardless of set passage allows.
  • a third preferred embodiment provides, as a tracking contact element, a pressing element which is arranged above the first transport device and which rests on the stack and tracks it as a whole.
  • a particularly simple and reliable construction of the separating device is possible.
  • a pneumatic cylinder is provided as a drive, so that the tracking force can be kept constant and thus in particular independent of the height of the rest of the stack.
  • both transport devices are designed as conveyor belts.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overview of a device according to the invention for separating stacked printed products with a separating belt 3, driven by a controllable drive 4 communicating with a controller C of the device and a feed belt 5, driven by another controllable drive 6 communicating with the control C of the device, and a Both conveyor belts 3 and 5 are substantially horizontal and aligned with each other, in particular arranged without height offset and have the same transport direction v on.
  • the device comprises light barriers 7, 8, which detect product stacks at different positions on the conveyor belts 3 and 5 and also connected to the controller C serve to control the tape feeds.
  • the passage 24 for the product to be separated in each case results from the distance of the retaining device 9 arranged above the separating belt 3 to the separating belt 3 and is adjustable by a height adjustment 18 connecting the retaining device 9 to the frame 23.
  • the height adjustment 18 comprises a spindle 19, whereby a very precise adjustment, in particular on thin printed products is possible.
  • the position of the retaining device 9 is continuously adjustable by means of a plane parallel to the separating belt 3 and mutually perpendicularly arranged linear guides 20 and 22 in a plane formed by the conveyor belts 3 and 5 and can be secured by clamps 21.
  • the retainer 9 can be positioned centrally of the stack, so that a rotation of the stack about the vertical axis is avoided.
  • the adjustment parallel to the transport direction v allows adaptation to the stack expansion in this direction.
  • the height adjustment 18 here is a simple displacement by hand sufficiently accurate.
  • FIG. 2 shows the retainer 9, wherein portions of the supporting frame are shown in section to illustrate the structure.
  • an endlessly circulating belt 10 is arranged in the frame. This is driven by a belt pulley 11 from a motor 15 communicating with the control C of the device and wraps around a deflection pulley 25 and a tension pulley 12.
  • the pulley facing the stack moves perpendicularly to the singling belt 3 in the tracking direction d and is guided by a strip 13 guided and supported against the stack.
  • a metal sheet is provided as a shield 16 of the belt 10 relative to the stack, which is displaceable in elongated holes in the tracking direction d and fixed by clamping means 17.
  • the belt 10 acts only on a determinable number of lowermost printed products of the stack, while the products located in the shield 16 of the rest of the stack are not detected. For a product gentle operation even with continuously driven belt 10 and thus easier control of the drive 15 is possible.
