Definitions

  • the invention relates to an inserting machine for automatically filling envelopes according to claim 1 and a method for operating such an inserting machine according to claim 14.
  • An object of the present application is to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art and to provide an enveloping device that is as operationally reliable as possible and is less susceptible to wear.
  • a further object is to provide an enveloping device with a high level of flexibility, which can process the great variety of envelope formats and envelope qualities with little or no changeover effort. Furthermore, low production costs and high reliability were objectives of the invention.
  • the envelope push-on roller is in a first position, which the envelope tunnel and the envelope push-on roller assume in relation to the pannier, from below against the end area of the upper tunnel guide that is located downstream and the end edge of the end area is located in the transport direction T directly in front of a front edge of the pannier.
  • the distance can be set laterally offset in a range of 1 to 15 mm, preferably between 1 to 5 mm, ie directly in front of the front edge of the pannier.
  • a lower edge of the end edge can be offset by 1 to 6 mm relative to a horizontal plane spanned, ie defined, for example, by the guide surface of the pannier. in particular be offset by 2 to 3 mm down.
  • Feeding is understood here as a non-contact feeding of the roller, depending on the stiffness of the envelope, for example at a distance of 0.5 to 2.0 mm, in particular approx. 1 mm, in order to enable the enveloping device to be operated with as little wear as possible.
  • the envelope touches the roller due to the arc-shaped guide and is transported further as a result.
  • the envelope push-on roller can also be advanced from below against the end region (88) of the upper tunnel guide (82) that is located downstream, but the envelope push-on roller now moves is located directly in front of the front edge (21) of the pannier (20) with respect to the transport direction T.
  • the center point of the envelope push roller can be 5 mm to 20 mm, in particular 10 mm to 15 mm, in front of the edge of the pannier.
  • the uppermost point of the roller i.e. the point where the upper horizontal tangent lies
  • the pannier can be connected to the inserting machine K in a stationary manner.
  • the envelope tunnel can include an area in which the tunnel guides are formed in parallel.
  • the envelope push-on roller can be connected to synchronous means for synchronous delivery of the envelope push-on roller to the envelope tunnel or for synchronous pivoting away from the envelope tunnel.
  • Pivoting means and synchronizing means can each comprise a cam disk and at least one lever, the at least one lever of the pivoting means connecting the cam disk to the envelope tunnel and the at least one lever of the synchronizing means connecting the cam disk to the envelope push roller via pivot points.
  • the levers can each be guided over several pivot points on the cam disk in order to increase stability.
  • the cam discs can be driven together by a drive arranged on the device side via a drive wheel and drive means.
  • pivoting means and synchronizing means can each comprise a synchronous motor in order to synchronously control the pivoting movements of the envelope tunnel and envelope push-on roller.
  • Driving means can be a drive belt, a toothed belt or a chain.
  • all moving parts of the transport system in particular swiveling and synchronizing means, transport means with drive rollers such as envelope push rollers, and feed means such as collecting and push-in chains, etc. can be driven with one drive, which simplifies the structure and synchronization of the device.
  • the envelope push-on roller in the second position, can be arranged pivoted downwards relative to the plane formed by the guide surface and the envelope tunnel pivoted away upwards relative to the plane formed by the guide surface.
  • the envelope push-on roller and the envelope tunnel can be arranged such that they are pivoted upwards away from the plane formed by the guide surface.
  • the envelope tunnel has an entry area, a straight guide area downstream in the transport direction T and a curve downstream, the tunnel guides being parallel in the guide area and in the area of the curve.
  • the envelope is ideally fed through this geometry of the envelope tunnel in order to facilitate the opening of the envelope in conjunction with a pivoting movement relative to the guide surface of the pannier firmly mounted on the enveloping device.
  • the entrance area can be funnel-shaped in order to facilitate the insertion of the envelope.
  • the envelope tunnel may include at least one drive roller and at least one idler roller for cooperation with a drive roller.
  • the rollers can either be mounted on the envelope tunnel or the envelope tunnel can be mounted, for example pivotably, around or on an axis of a drive roller attached to the inserting machine.
  • the rotation of the drive roller and the pivoting of the envelope tunnel take place independently of one another, for example by means of separate bearings.
  • the envelope tunnel is shaped in such a way that it guides the envelope against the envelope push roller.
  • This can also be designed as a wide roller and, for example, include a friction covering.
  • This can be made of rubber, polyurethane, etc. or a granular surface, e.g. diamond, tungsten carbide, etc.
  • the envelope tunnel can additionally have one or more counter-pressure roller(s) running with the envelope pusher roller in the first and the intermediate position, which is mounted in one or more recess(es) of the upper tunnel guide or . are.
  • the above-mentioned straight guide area can be longer than the entrance area and longer than the area encompassing the curve, with the length being able to be selected, for example, between a quarter and three-quarters of the envelope length (distance between the edge of the envelope and the bottom of the envelope) of the shortest envelope format to be processed.
  • the upper tunnel may thereby extend downward beyond the curve and beyond the downstream end of the lower tunnel.
  • the lower duct may extend upwardly beyond the entrance area and the upstream end of the upper duct.
  • the pivot bearing of the envelope tunnel may be provided at its upstream end.
  • a method for operating an enveloping device usually includes transporting an envelope away from an envelope chute, with the flap being closest to an envelope removal opening of an envelope chute located envelopes, a stack of envelopes placed in the envelope chute is opened with a flap opener, whereupon transport elements transport the envelope with the open envelope flap in front to a packing bag, on which the envelopes are filled and the contents of the envelope are fed to the packing bag and introduced into it by means of a feed device . The filled envelope is then conveyed onward by removal organs.
  • an envelope tunnel and an envelope pusher roller are brought into a first position relative to the packing bag, in which an end edge of an end area of an upper tunnel guide that is arranged downstream is located directly in front of a front edge of the packing bag in the transport direction T and the envelope pusher roller is pushed in from below against the end area , is operated in the transport direction T, as a result of which the envelope flap is pushed under the front edge of the pannier parallel to or at a flat transport angle W1 under a guide surface of the pannier.
  • the angle W1 can also be negative, ie directed downwards.
  • the angle W1 can be set between +15° and -15°, preferably between -5° and +5°.
  • the envelope push-on roller and envelope tunnel can be pivoted into a so-called intermediate position, which is raised compared to the first position, whereby the envelope push-on roller moves in the direction of the transport path T is located directly in front of the front edge of the pannier and the envelope flap is fed from the envelope tunnel to the pannier at a transport angle W2.
  • the envelope push-on roller is still fed from below against the downstream end area of the upper tunnel guide in the transport direction T, whereby the envelope is opened to be pushed on and loaded with the contents of the envelope on the packing pocket.
  • the transport angle is in the transport direction T for the front side of the envelope with the flap pointing downwards, angle W2 and for the back of the envelope it is horizontal or W3 pointing upwards.
  • the angles are each set from the tangent of the last point of contact with the envelope push roller to the pannier.
  • Angle W3 is between 0° to 20°, in particular 5° to 10°.
  • a so-called second step after the envelope has been pushed completely onto the pannier, envelope push-on roller and envelope tunnel, it can be pivoted away from the front edge into a so-called second position, whereby the transport path in transport direction A between the pannier and transport means is released.
  • the envelope push-on roller can be pivoted downwards relative to the plane formed by the guide surface and the envelope tunnel can be pivoted upwards relative to the plane formed by the guide surface.
  • the pivoting movements of the envelope push roller and the envelope tunnel can be synchronized by pivoting means and synchronizing means.
  • the envelope push-on roller and the envelope tunnel can be pivoted upwards away from the plane formed by the guide surface, for example together by the pivoting means.
  • a driven transport roller mounted pivotably on the envelope tunnel in the area of the lower tunnel guide and which, in one position, e.g. in cooperation with an idler roller mounted opposite on the upper tunnel guide, can transport an empty envelope further through the Tunnel transported in the transport direction T, transport a filled envelope further in the transport direction A at the same time, with a time delay and/or in a different position with a transport roller arranged underneath, which can also be designed as a counter-pressure roller.
  • the removal roller can be designed to be elastic, elastically coated or spring-mounted. This has the advantage over the use of otherwise customary circle segments that the movement of the removal roller does not have to be synchronized with the envelope transport.
  • the cam disks can also be driven separately (electronic shaft, servo drives, stepping motors) instead of via a common drive means ), so that by means of parameterization in the Application that optimizes the movements on certain envelopes and thus the performance can be increased.
  • the two control cams 90', 91' can also be integrated in one disc, making the system more compact and less expensive.
  • the cam disk of the pivoting device is open at the top in the so-called zero point, i.e. when the envelope tunel is pivoted up, which corresponds to position two here, in order to allow easy manual opening and access for repairing breakdowns.
  • the envelope 5 is inserted according to an embodiment of a method according to the invention in the envelope chute 11 with the envelope flap 8 closed down.
  • the flap is opened by the envelope puller 12 and the envelope 5 is pulled out of the shaft 11 with the flap 8 open. It is then transported in a sheet with the flap open first into the envelope transport 50 .
  • the opened envelope flap is located in the area of the envelope transport 50 and further down, as for example from Fig.2 evident.
  • the envelope 5 will now look like Fig.1 can be seen with the open envelope flap 8, or flap front edge 9 first, fed to the envelope tunnel 80 by means of a pair of rollers 1, 2.
  • the envelope tunnel 80 is formed in the entrance area 84 by two tunnel guides, here made of sheet metal, which first converge in a funnel shape, then parallel, first straight and then forming a curve 82, 83 formed, which limit the transport path of the envelope towards the top and bottom.
  • two tunnel guides here made of sheet metal, which first converge in a funnel shape, then parallel, first straight and then forming a curve 82, 83 formed, which limit the transport path of the envelope towards the top and bottom.
  • an embodiment made of titanium, carbon fiber composite, in particular of carbon fiber composite material coated against wear is also possible.
  • an embodiment as guide rods in particular made of the above-mentioned materials, is also possible.
  • the curve 85 deflects the transport path of the envelope by an angle of approximately 45° from a diagonally downward direction to a diagonally upward direction.
  • the lower tunnel guide 83 is extended past the pair of rollers 1, 2 into the area of the envelope transport 50.
  • the upper tunnel guide 82 is extended downward beyond the interaction area 71 of the envelope pusher roller 70 and the optional counter-pressure roller 81 to the immediate vicinity of the front edge 21 of the pannier 20 .
  • the counter-pressure roller 81 acts through one or, if several rollers are used, through several cutouts in the upper tunnel guide 82, away from the curve 85 outside the tunnel-shaped area of the envelope tunnel 80.
  • the lower tunnel guide 83 ends downward, in the in the Fig.1 to 3 positions shown, immediately in front of the interaction area 71.
  • the embodiment shown has advantages for guiding an envelope type shown here with a medium flap length, other configurations are also possible here in principle.
  • the counter-pressure roller 81 can even be omitted, since the envelope tunnel is designed in such a way that it required counterforce to form sufficient friction on the envelope feed roller 70 provides.
  • the curve 85 can also be set for a larger or smaller change in direction of the transport path, for example in a range from 30° to 60° inclusive, and the bend 86 in a range from 0° to 20°, preferably between 5° and 15° , depending on how far the upper tunnel guide extends beyond the interaction area.
  • the distance between the essentially parallel guides can be selected between 1 and 5 mm, in particular approx.
  • the length of the parallel section can be set between a quarter and three-quarters of the minimum envelope length to be processed (distance between envelope base 7 and flap edge 10), in particular corresponding to approximately half an envelope length.
  • Most of the parallel guidance provided by guides 82 and 83 is away upstream of curve 85, whereas the guidance below here may terminate immediately downstream of the curve.
  • the shape of the tunnel also depends on the angle and the height at which the envelope transport 50 is arranged, which roll diameters are taken as a basis, etc. Due to such adjustments, the aforementioned values can vary further.
  • the envelope tunnel can also be made of other materials, in particular to reduce the moving mass. This can include titanium, carbon fiber material or others, as well as the design of the envelope tunnel, for example using guide rods.
  • the envelope is transported further by the pair of rollers 14, 15 firmly connected to the tunnel 80 and into the envelope tunnel 80, as in FIGS figures 1 and 2 shown introduced.
  • the pair of rollers 14, 15 acts through one or, if several pairs of rollers are used, through several cutouts in the lower tunnel guide 83 and the upper tunnel guide 82 in the entrance area 84 of the envelope tunnel 80.
  • the front flap edge 9 of the envelope 5 enters the envelope tunnel 80 is this located in the in Fig.5 shown position.
  • This envelope tunnel can be moved up and down around the pivot point of the axis of transport roller 1.
  • This pivot point is advantageously, but not necessarily, attached to the axis of transport roller 1.
  • the movement is controlled such that when the flap leading edge 9 reaches the end of the envelope tunnel 80, the envelope tunnel in Fig.1 has reached the position shown.
  • the envelope is transported further by the envelope pusher roller 70 with the (optional) counter-pressure roller 81.
  • the envelope feed roller has a non-slip covering made of rubber, polyurethane or corundum, which provides the necessary friction and thus safe feed.
  • the counter-pressure roller 81 since the friction lining Envelope push roller and the opposing force of the upper tunnel wall 82 is already formed enough friction.
  • the movement of the envelope tunnel 80 is controlled in such a way that as soon as the front edge 9 of the envelope flap has arrived under the pannier, the envelope tunnel 80 and the envelope push-on roller 70 are raised synchronously, so that during this movement the envelope is transported further by the envelope push-on roller 70 and the envelope flap 8 is pushed further under the pannier 20.
  • the movements of the envelope tunnel 80 and the envelope push roller 70 are synchronous upwards at this time.
  • the movements are controlled synchronously (but in different ways over the course of a cycle) by the cam discs 90, 91 driven by the same drive figure 8 shown on the basis of transparent cams 90, 91.
  • Captured curves are understood here as control curves in which a guided guide bolt 96, 97 is guided by guide surfaces on both sides with little play in a groove-shaped curved path.
  • the design of the guide pin in the cam track as a roller, as shown, is preferred here, e.g. as a rotatable roller that runs on a stationary pin. Also possible would be, for example, an external cam with a spring-loaded lever.
  • the curves of the cam discs move the envelope tunnel 80 and the envelope push roller 70 via levers 92, 93 and 62, 63.
  • the pivot points of the levers are at 94 and 95, respectively.
  • An advantage of this construction is that both the drive of the transport rollers 1 and 14 and the envelope pusher roller 70 (rollers 2, 15, 81 are loosely running rollers) and the movements of the cams 90 and 91 and thus the envelope pusher roller 70 and the envelope tunnel 80 done from a central drive. This is inexpensive and thanks to the fixed mechanical coupling, these movements run absolutely synchronously. In the chosen design, this drive simultaneously drives the gathering chain (which feeds the documents), which increases reliability (synchronization) and minimizes manufacturing costs.
  • the movement of the envelope tunnel 80 and the envelope feed roller 70 is further controlled in such a way that before the flap edge 10 arrives at the front edge 21 of the pannier, the upper edge of the envelope push-on roller and the lower edge of the upper tunnel guide of the envelope tunnel are above the pannier, as in Fig.2 shown.
  • This movement opens the envelope so that the envelope flap is located under the pannier and the top spine of the envelope slides over the pannier.
  • the envelope is then pushed completely onto the packing pocket 20 by the envelope push-on roller 70 .
  • the position of the envelope push roller 70 and the envelope tunnel 80 remain in the position according to FIG Fig.2 .
  • the counter-pressure roller 81 which is not driven, is permanently attached to the envelope tunnel and moves with it. It provides the necessary counter pressure for safe transport. This counter-pressure roller is not absolutely necessary for all envelope qualities, but is helpful for processing the entire range of envelope qualities without further adjustments.
  • the guide plate 41 that can be seen in the figures has no function for the transport and filling process.
  • the position of the envelope push-on roller 70 and the envelope tunnel 80 is changed again.
  • the envelope feed roller 70 is thereby lowered in the direction of a lower end position, while the envelope tunnel 80 is simultaneously raised into an upper end position. This position is in Fig.4 shown.
  • Envelope push roller 70 and envelope tunnel 80 have reached their end positions and thus allow space around the now an envelope content 13 filled envelope 5 to eject against the previous transport direction.
  • the upper push-in chain 23 with the finger 22 already begins to push the content taken over by the gathering chain inside the pannier into the envelope pushed over the pannier (not visible in the figures). This is controlled in such a way that insertion begins before the envelope is fully pushed open, but the front edge of the content only begins shortly after the envelope has been fully pushed onto the pannier ( Fig.3 ) reaches the bottom of the envelope or the edge of the pannier 21 ( Fig.4 ).
  • the gathering chain which runs slower than the push-in chain, also transports the contents of the envelope using fingers. It is located below the upper slide-in chain at the level of the pannier and is not shown in the figures.
  • the push-in chain 23 continues to run and pushes the contents completely into the envelope with the finger 22 and during the further process the envelope together with the contents down from the packing bag again until the envelope is caught by the transport roller 14 and the counter-pressure roller 30 underneath and further in the direction of the exit is transported to the following conveyor belt 31.
  • FIG.5 shows the envelope 5 with content 13
  • the envelope 5 with content 13 has been pushed almost completely from the packing case 20 by the fingers 22 of the upper push-in chain 23 and is transported further by the driven transport rollers 14 and the lower transport roller 30 .
  • the driven transport roller 14 has a double function: together with the transport roller 30 located below, it transports the filled envelope away, while at the same time the next empty envelope is fed in together with the transport roller 15 located above.
  • the removal roller 30 is able to compensate for the thickness of the filled envelope by being resiliently mounted or being designed to be resilient in itself.
  • segments can also be used here, as are known from the prior art.
  • roller is used synonymously with roller, i.e. if one or more rollers are specified for a specific function, they can easily be replaced by, for example, a wide roller, i.e. roller.
  • the specification of a role always includes a configuration with several roles.
  • the movement of the envelope feed roller 70 and the envelope tunnel 80 begins again towards the position in Fig.1 .
  • the driven transport roller 14, transport roller 15 and counter-pressure roller 30 are also lowered with the envelope tunnel 80, so that the envelope with the content 13 then comes to rest on the transport belt 31, which then carries the envelope 5 further to the optionally integrated stations flap closing, Gluing and exit transported.
  • the filled, and therefore here mostly stiff, part of the envelope 5 has completely left the packing pocket 20 when this movement of the envelope tunnel begins.
  • the envelope flap 8 can then still be partially in the pack pocket 20, but since it consists of only one layer of paper it is flexible enough to adapt to the movement.
  • the empty envelope has been transported further and the position of Fig.1 achieved. where is in Fig.1 on the conveyor belt 31 to recognize the envelope 5 that is being transported away. An attempt is made to reach this position as early as possible; however, it must be ensured that the longest possible flap of the empty envelope 5 cannot collide with the longest possible flap of the envelope 5 being transported away.
  • the curve of the envelope tunnel 80 is designed by a recess 100 in the outer guide surface in such a way that at the time of the zero position of the machine, which is in Fig.5 corresponds to the position shown, the guide pin or roller 96 can be moved manually upwards out of the guideway. This allows the envelope tunnel to be raised further despite the trapped curve when the machine is in the zero position, in order to relax the machine in the event of a jam and to be able to remove the jammed material relatively easily and quickly (ease of use).
  • the above embodiment achieves the goals of low production costs, high reliability and low wear while at the same time being highly flexible with regard to a wide variety of envelope formats and qualities through a simple, compact design and mechanically coupled and thus always synchronous movements without control expenditure.
