Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for entering insert sheets for inserting between stacks of poses in a reception area of a station for receiving poses.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for loading sheet inserts, a station for receiving poses and a machine for processing sheet-shaped elements comprising said device for entering sheet inserts.
  • the separation of the poses consists, after shaping and complete ejection of the waste, to break the attachment points between the poses of a sheet by means of a male upper tool and a female lower tool mounted vertically one above the other in the leaf receiving area.
  • the upper tool consists of pushing elements slightly smaller than the perimeter of the poses.
  • the lower tool consists of a grid whose mesh shape generally corresponds to the perimeter of the poses. The poses fall through these meshes and stack in vertical stacks in the reception area.
  • Inserting involves placing an insert sheet, such as a full sheet, between stacks of poses. So that this inserting can be carried out without requiring a concomitant shutdown of the production unit, a device commonly known as a non-stop reception grid is used.
  • an insert sheet is grabbed from a stack of insert sheets arranged near the reception area.
  • the insert sheet is then dropped onto the non-stop pose reception grid.
  • the non-stop receiving grid carrying the insert sheet then moves under the lower blanking tool.
  • the non-stop receiving grid returns over the stack of insert sheets to receive a new sheet. Leaving the reception area, the grid crosses the teeth of a comb which has pivoted into the retaining position to retain the insert sheet and thus the poses stacked on this insert sheet, in the reception area.
  • the non-stop reception grid thus allows the deposit of an insert sheet between the stacks of poses and the support of the poses during the evacuation of the stacks of poses without stopping production.
  • a suction cup device Typing the insert sheet and then depositing it on the non-stop receiving grid is generally carried out by means of a suction cup device.
  • An example of a known suction cup device comprises a suction cup bar which can pivot between a low position in which the suction cups come to grip the edge of an insert sheet and a high position to lift the sheet and then drop it on the non-stop receiving grid.
  • This device has the advantage of being compact, in particular, the size of the suction cup bar in the high position is compatible with the residual space located under the evacuation conveyor of the evacuation station, itself located above the insert sheet loading system.
  • the input area for insert sheets shifts from the edge of the sheet with the height of the stack of sheets lowering due to the mowing movement of the suction cup bar.
  • the positioning of the insert sheet can then become imprecise.
  • the insert sheet can be offset on the non-stop receiving grid, then offset between the poses of the stack. The correct positioning of the insert sheet between the stacks of poses is no longer guaranteed.
  • the document DE 195 16 023 A1 describes an inset device which lifts an insert sheet on a stack using a pivoting arm fitted with a suction cup and then deposits it on an inset grid when it leaves the poses reception area .
  • the suction cup device is then moved aside in order to allow the grid to rise, then to be inserted in the zone for receiving the poses.
  • the grid then lowers at a speed that corresponds to the rate of production of the poses. When the grid reaches a low position, it leaves the zone for receiving the blanks to receive a new insert sheet.
  • the insert sheet remains in the poses reception zone thanks to a vertical grid which retains it.
  • the document does not specify how the insert sheet is fixed and detached from the insert grid, nor how its position on the grid is adjusted.
  • One of the aims of the present invention is to provide an improved insert sheet entry device enabling the entry of the insert sheet in the same entry area, with a reduced footprint, whatever the height of the stack of sheets. insert.
  • the subject of the present invention is a device for inputting insert sheets for a device for loading inset sheets from a station for receiving poses, the input device comprising a suction element configured to capture an insert sheet, characterized in that the gripping device comprises a pivoting axis and at least one telescopic arm comprising a proximal arm, one end of which is fixed to the pivoting axis and a distal arm, movable relative to the proximal arm and one end of which is articulated in pivoting with the suction element to move the suction element between a high position and a low position according to a vertical movement of the suction element.
  • the combination of the pivoting movement of the telescopic arms and their lengthening / shortening allows vertical movement of the suction element between the high and low positions.
  • the input area can thus be carried out always at the same location on the insert sheet, making it possible to ensure that the insert sheet is correctly positioned for the inserting operation.
  • This device for gripping insert sheets therefore takes up little space while allowing the suction element to be lowered sufficiently low into the housing of the container to grip an insert sheet at the bottom of the container.
  • Such a space-saving arrangement is simpler and more economical to produce than, for example, providing a vertically movable container depending on the height of the stack contained.
  • the invention also relates to a device for loading insert sheets, characterized in that it comprises a device for entering insert sheets as defined above.
  • the subject of the invention is also a station for receiving the poses of a machine for processing sheet-shaped elements, characterized in that it comprises a device for loading inset sheets as defined above.

  • the number and nature of the processing stations in a processing machine 1 can vary depending on the nature and the complexity of the operations to be performed on the sheets. In the context of the invention, the concept of processing machine thus covers a very large number of embodiments due to the modular structure of these assemblies. Depending on the number, nature and arrangement of the workstations used, it is indeed possible to obtain a multitude of different processing machines. It is also important to underline that there are other types of work stations than those mentioned, such as embossing, upsetting stations or such as stations for loading stripes for stamping for stamping machine or foil stamping machine. hot foil stamping in which between the platens of a press, patterns are applied to each sheet, from a film made from one or more stamping bands.

  • the rotary drive of the pivoting axis 30 (clockwise on the Figures 6a, 6b ) translates the pins 35 of the distal arms 33b into the oblong holes 34 of the proximal arms 33a and translates the protuberance 40 into the inclined groove 39 of the control element 36, lengthening the telescopic arms 33.
  • This rotation-elongation combination of telescopic arm 33 moves the suction element 20 vertically towards the stack 8 of insert sheets in the housing 9 of the tray 11 in the low position ( figure 6b ).
  • the suction element 20 then comes into contact with the edge of the insert sheet at the height where it is in the housing 9.
  • the gripping area can thus be carried out always at the same place on the insert sheet regardless of the height of the stack 8 of insert sheets.
  • the suction force of the suction element 20 and / or gravity correctly positions the suction element 20 to grip a flat insert sheet.
  • the actuator 41 automatically stops the pivoting drive of the pivoting axis 30 under the effect of this counter-force.
  • the actuator 41 is controlled by the control unit 7 to drive the pivoting axis 30 in the opposite direction, which has the effect of shortening the telescopic arms 33 and lifting the sheet d insert in the high position by a vertical movement of the suction element ( figure 6a ).
  • the insert sheet can then be dropped on the non-stop poses reception grid 12 on its return from the reception zone 2 in the retracted position ( figure 3 ).
  • This input device 13 for insert sheets therefore takes up little space, even in the high position, which makes it possible to arrange the input device 13 under the discharge conveyor of the machine 1.
  • the input device 13 allows in addition to lowering the suction element 20 sufficiently low in the housing 9 of the container 11 to be able to grasp an insert sheet at the bottom of the container 11.
  • the non-stop reception grid 12 carrying the insert sheet then moves under the lower tool 3 for separating the blanks to deposit the insert sheet.
  • the non-stop receiving grid 12 then returns to the top of the stack of insert sheets to receive a new sheet. Leaving the reception zone 2, the non-stop reception grid 12 crosses the teeth of the retaining comb 14 which has pivoted into the retaining position ( figure 2 ) to retain the insert sheet and therefore, the poses stacked on this insert sheet.
  • the non-stop reception grid 12 thus makes it possible to deposit an insert sheet between the stacks of poses and can also make it possible to support the poses during the evacuation of the receiving pallet 4 carrying the stacks of poses and the insertion of a new empty receiving pallet 4 without stopping production.
  • the invention is not limited to a device 10 for loading inset sheets comprising a non-stop reception grid 12 adapted to ensure the inserting operations but can also be applied to a loading device 10 ' provided on the one hand, with a non-stop reception grid for the poses 50 and on the other hand, with a mobile inserter 51.
  • the inserter 51 is movable between a retracted position for receiving an insert sheet and an extended position for depositing the insert sheet in the reception zone 2 between the stacks of poses.
  • the translational drive of the inserter 51 is provided by two chains 18 driven by an actuator, such as a pneumatic linear cylinder (not visible), controlled by the control unit 7 of the processing machine 1, for programming an insert when the stack of poses reaches the desired height.
  • the support of the poses during the evacuation of the stacks of poses without stopping the production is carried out by the non-stop reception grid for the poses 50 distinct, situated above the inserter 51.
  • the non-stop reception grid for the poses 50 comprises a plurality of longitudinal bars. It is movable in the longitudinal direction L between a retracted position in which it is located above the gripping device 13 and an extended position in the reception zone 2 of the pose reception station 500 for receiving the poses during the evacuation of the reception pallet 4.
  • the non-stop reception grid for the poses 50 is also vertically movable by motorized drive to adapt to the level of accumulation of poses.
  • the non-stop reception grid for the poses 50 of this embodiment does not provide the inserting function.
  • the invention is not limited to a pose reception station 500 in which the attachment points between the poses are separate but can be applied to a pose reception station receiving stacks of full sheets.
