Description

DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING A TWO-DIMENSIONAL ARTICLE Description of the invention The invention relates to a device for the transport of a two-dimensional article, for example a segment of a strip of textile fabric, of paper, of cardboard, of synthetic material, of sheet metal or of a sheet, wherein the article is transferred in preferentially horizontal alignment from a first means of transport to a second means of transport. The invention also relates to a method for transporting articles. In the state of the art a device for transporting articles is known, in particular pieces of textile material isolated from a width of textile fabric. This is constituted by a first transport device of discontinuous operation by means of which a width of textile fabric can be unwound from a tank, and possibly keep the free end of the width to be isolated tensioned, as well as by a second operating transport device continuous whose transport plane extends parallel to the transport plane of the first transport device and which comprises elements for holding the piece of insulated textile material, the transport direction of the first transport device extending parallel to the longitudinal direction of the width and the transport direction of the second transport device extends transverse to the longitudinal direction of the width, that preferably the first transport device consists of a transport slide for the width of textile fabric and a transport clip, the clip being can move towards the transport slider and ale In this case, an insulating device is arranged between the transport slide and the transport clamp by means of which the width of the textile genre can be cut to produce a piece of individual textile material, which after or simultaneously to the separation cut and the release of the first means of transport, in particular of the transport slide and the transport clamp, the piece of insulated textile material can be displaced by a transfer element from the plane of the first transport device to the plane of the second transport device and be fed to this. In the state of the art it is usual to unroll a width of textile fabric from a tank and isolate a partial piece of this width of textile fabric. This piece of insulated textile material is transferred to a subsequent processing station or to a subsequent transport station. As soon as the piece of textile material was removed from the area in which the textile genre width is unwound from the tank it is possible to isolate another piece of textile material from the textile genre width, and remove it again. This type of design is inconvenient because during the time interval in which the piece of insulated textile material is removed from the area in which the insulation of the textile pieces is carried out, another piece of textile material can not be isolated. , but this can only be done when the desired piece of textile material has already been completely removed. Due to this, in the case of a continuous operation of the removal conveyor it is not possible to remove the pieces of insulated textile material so that they are almost adjoining and without gaps to lead them, for example, to a binding or sewing device, but that a large separation space always remains between the individual pieces of textile material, which has a negative effect on the total yield of the sewing installation equipped with this device in relation to the quantity of pieces produced. Devices with transposed longitudinal and transverse planes of transport are also known. In this the piece of textile material is fixed on strips with needles, is isolated from the width of the textile genre and is moved by the needle strips to chains of needles as a means of transverse transportJ. , to which they are transferred. A device of this type is complicated and difficult to handle by virtue of the configuration and alignment of the needle strips, being that it is also considered a disadvantage that by means of the needle strips a deterioration is caused to the textile article, which in many cases. cases is not allowed. Fundamentally there exists in these devices, in particular also in the devices of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, the problem that it is extremely difficult to remove the isolated articles at a certain distance from one another by means of the transport means, the separation must be almost free of loopholes. A method and arrangement for transporting two-dimensional workpieces is known from DE 43 28 461 A1. For this, a pretransporter and a posttransporter are provided. Pieces of cloth are fed through these transport devices. In this case the discontinuous transport of the piece of textile material is carried out with the pre-transport device so that when the pretransporter is started with a piece of textile material placed on the conveyor belt, its conveyor belt is thus extended over the conveyor belt of the post-conveyor, that the work piece can be completely moved on the conveyor belt of the post-conveyor. Upon reaching this position, by shortening the conveyor belt of the pretransporter to the work piece, it is deposited on the conveyor belt of the transporter, with the conveyor belt of the pretransporter stopped. With such an arrangement, it is not possible to have a rapid, almost free, disposition of the workpieces on the post-conveyor, since first the pretransporter has to be removed from its position on the post-carrier, then a work piece can be deposited on the pretransporter and then the pretransporter has to come back forward to be able to deposit the work piece on the post transporter. A similar design is known from the DE document 11 32 861 B, in which a conveyor belt and a depositor device are provided. The depositor device is a carriage movable in and against the conveying direction of the conveyor belt, which during the depositing operation moves against the conveying movement of the conveyor belt while at the same time the depositor belt is motionless with respect to the deposit table. Additionally, it is proposed that the effective length of the depositor belt, with the addition of a guide plate that eventually lengthens it, is adjusted in such a way to the length established for the movement of entry and exit of the carriage and the length of the segment of the width to be deposited, which at the beginning of the entry movement has total or approximate contact with its front edge against the front side of the upper side of the stack, preferably against an adjustable stop on the stacking table. From the state of the art set forth at the outset, the object of the invention is to create a device of the type under consideration which allows, in a simple manner, to continuously remove, one after another, isolated articles at an exact distance from each other, possibly even without gaps or almost free of cracks, so that these can be led to a subsequent work station, for example to a sewing facility in the case of pieces of textile material, and the machine capacity can be fully utilized or later installation. The solution of this task is indicated in claim 1. For this the second means of transport is constituted, for example by a continuous conveyor in the form of a belt that is not necessarily configured as a circulating transport medium but can also be configured as a means of reversible transport in the form of a segment of non-closed tape that is operated in a reversible manner. By means of a transport element or also by the transport elements spaced transversely to one another from the transport direction, the article can be gripped in each case in a region parallel to the direction of transport by a transport element which presses the article. against the seat surface in the form of a corresponding strip and transports it. The distance between the conveyor elements can possibly be adjusted in order to be able to transport articles of different widths. Due to the fact that the conveyor elements are reversed and lead in each case forming a regulating U-turn, it is achieved that the conveyor elements can be displaced with their inversion end facing the article that comes against the transport direction itself. (parallel to the transport plane formed by the seating surface). By this the correspondingly fed article is transferred prematurely in time compared to the case of employing a stationary continuous conveyor. After the reception of the article by the conveyor elements, the conveyor elements can be moved again from the transfer position to the basic position by dragging the grasped article, so that the space is created to arrange another article, which is again received in the transfer position by the transport means displaced against the transport direction. In the alternative solution indicated in claim 1, the complete transport element is displaced with an inversion wheel and a drive wheel against the transport direction during rotation of the transport element to take the isolated article. Then the transport element moves back to the basic position during the continuation of transport of the article. The advantages that result from this correspond to those indicated above with respect to the first alternative. In a particularly preferred manner, it is proposed to arrange parallel with the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor in each case another transport element of a second continuous conveyor, being that the transport elements of the second continuous conveyor operate in the same direction of transport and at the same speed as those of the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor, and that the zone of inversion of the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor is can move back to the basic position from the transfer position in the transport direction because the article is transported by the transport elements of the second continuous conveyor in the transport direction and the inversion zone of the first continuous conveyor is supported on the article and is dragged by the article back to the basic position at the speed of transportation. The other transport elements of a second continuous conveyor which in each case are provided parallel to the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor are preferably arranged closely adjacent to the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor. By this design it is ensured that the article that is first taken by the first transport element is received by the transport elements of the second continuous conveyor, while simultaneously being in contact with the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor. In this case the transport elements of the first continuous conveyor can be moved from the transfer position to the basic position in the transport direction, whereby the first continuous conveyor almost does not carry out a relative movement with respect to the article but rather It is transported to the basic position with the article. For the transfer of another item, the continuous conveyor can then be moved against the transport direction, and this either after reaching the basic position or already before reaching the basic position, so that the transport elements of the transporter can be moved. The first continuous conveyor is moved on the new article fed, transported at least to the position of grip of the second continuous conveyor and then again can be returned with the article to the basic position or to an intermediate position from which they can be moved again against of the transportation address for the transfer of the following article. It is further preferably proposed that both continuous conveyors are configured in a continuously circulating manner. A particularly convenient perfection is considered to be that both continuous conveyors have as gear transport belts that are meshed with the gears such as the reversing wheels and the driving wheels. It is further preferably proposed that the respectively preferably closely adjacent transport elements of the first and second continuous conveyors be driven in each case by a common imputation mechanism, the driving mechanisms of both pairs of transport elements being operated in synchronic form and in the same direction. Furthermore, it can be envisaged that the location drive mechanism for moving the transport element or the reversal zone directed against the conveying direction is coupled or controlled by a device by means of which the presentation of such an article can be detected. as the theoretical position of the article under the continuous conveyor. It can also be envisaged that the location drive mechanism for moving the transport element or the reversal zone pointing against the conveying direction is coupled or controlled by a device by means of which the position of an article can be detected. under the moving lower segment of the transport element of the second continuous conveyor. As devices for detecting the position can be provided, for example, optical barriers, other remote sensing elements or also contact sensors or the like. By means of these detection elements it is possible to detect, for example, the edge that lies behind in the direction of transport of the article being removed, or the leading edge of the next article that is arriving, or also during the delivery and reception by the first continuous conveyor. , the rear edge in the direction of transportation of the article grasped by the first continuous conveyor, in order to locate the article, for example, with the edge exactly vertical below the axis of rotation of the roller forming the inversion zone or Similary. Then, the next item can be brought close to this edge so that it can be attached, if desired, without a gap or approximately free of rests to the article that is already gripped. A design that is further preferred is set forth in claim 8. By the fact that both transport devices are disposed almost superposed it is possible to remove the article, in particular the textile genre width of the deposit as well as corresponds to the dimension of the article. isolated. It is then possible to separate the article from the width in order to isolate it, since the separation can be carried out by means of a circular blade or also by means of a horizontal blade. Prto the separation process, the article to be isolated is grasped by the transverse edges (seen in the direction of the width of the genre) by means of a trapping device and maintained in a correct position. The clamping device is then moved with the whole and the isolated article to the second transport plane, in which the second transport device of continuous operation is arranged. The article is held for this in such a way by its edges, that the edges protrude from both clamping devices arranged on both edges. By means of the trapping device, the isolated article is then moved in the plane of the second transport device towards the latter, the second transport device being simultaneously the same, which is constituted by conveyor belts of continuous circulation and resting on a table or runners. of support moves against the direction of advancement of the trapping device towards it. The edge pieces protruding from both sides of the trapping device are then grasped by the second transport device that removes the article. In this, after the transfer of the leading end of the edge portion in the transport direction to the second conveying device, the conveying device moves together with the removed piece of textile material, simultaneously removing the piece of textile material, the starting position in which the transport device is distanced from the trapping device, in addition the trapping device also moves to the starting position, that is to say that it separates from the second transport device and moves to the plane of the first transport device. By this opposite movement of the second transport device and the trapping device during the transfer of the article, it is achieved that the article with its leading edge in the transport direction of the second transport device immediately approaches the trailing edge of the article already removed, which is still withdrawn by the second transport device, so that the next article is carried by the second transport device cas i without gap or with the formation of a very small gap and can be fed to the subsequent processing stations. This is avoided by the design according to the invention a detertion of the article by needles or the like. In consecuense, the stations that follow the second transport device such as the edging installation and / or the seam installation can be operated continuously to the maximum of their capacity, and their performance can be fully exploited. A preferred refinement is considered to be that the second transport device is constituted by conveyor belts which in the transport direction are disposed outside the line where the gripper device is aligned flush and which press the edge of the article against the support areas as a component of both transport devices. Preferably, it can be provided that the clamping device is constituted by pairs of jaws. It is also preferred that the trapping device and the transport device can be brought together in such a way that the piece of textile material held by the trapping device can be transferred with its edges to the transport device, the article being transferred. adjoins without a gap or almost without a gap with an article removed by the transport device that was previously transferred. For the transfer process it is also convenient if the support area is formed by a flat support plate or a support table. Eventually it can be foreseen that the support area is formed in each case by another continuous conveyor. In this case the support area can be formed by a continuous conveyor with an endless circulating trajectory whose upper branch serves as a counter-superstructure for the continuous conveyor with the conveyor element and rotates in the same direction and at the same speed in the transport direction. A method for transporting articles is indicated in claim 16. The invention is explained below in more detail by the drawings. They show: Figure 1 a device according to the invention in side elevation; Figure 2 is the same in a side elevation rotated 90 ° around the perpendicular e; Figures 3 and 4 a detail in side elevation and in plan; figure 5 a detail of figure 2 in side elevation. The drawing shows the essential elements of a device for transporting pieces 1 'of textile material isolated from a width 1 of textile fabric. The device is constituted substantially by a first transport device working in a discontinuous manner, by means of which the textile width 1 can be unwound from a tank not shown and the free end to be isolated from the width is possibly tensed. The device is also constituted by a second transport device of continuous operation whose transport plane extends parallel to the transport plane of the first transport device and which comprises means for holding the piece 1 'of isolated textile material. The transport direction of the first transport device is indicated by 5. The transport direction of the second transport device according to figure 1 is orthogonal to the plane of the drawing and in figure 2 is indicated by the arrow 6. The transport planes of both transport devices extend parallel to each other and spaced overlapping. The transport direction 5 of the first transport device extends parallel to the longitudinal extension of the width 1 strip, while the transport direction of the second transport device is oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction of the width. The first transport device is constituted by a slide 7 for the width 1 of textile fabric and a transport clamp 4 in which the clamp 4 can move towards the slide 7 and move away from it according to the arrow 8 of movement. Between the slide 7 and the transport clip 4 e provides in the vicinity of the slide 7 a cutting element 9, by means of which the width 1 of textile fabric can be cut to produce a piece 1 'of insulated textile material. The cutting element 9 is represented as scissors in the embodiment. It can be treated for this by a hand-operated scissors or a motor-driven disc blade or also by a horizontal pneumatically operated blade or motor, or the like. The individual textile piece 1 'is released by the slide 7 and the transport clamp 4 after the separation cut is made or at the same time as the separation cut is made and is moved by means of a transfer element of the plane of the first transport device to the plane of the second transport device. The transfer element consists of a trapping device 2. The trapping device 2 consists of two pairs of jaws of which one is arranged above the width 1 of textile fabric and the other below the width 1 of textile fabric, the piece of isolated textile material being fixed by means of the closure of the jaws of the trapping device 2. Then the jaws of the trapping device with the piece 1 of textile material are transferred from the position that appears to points and stripes in Figure 1 to the position in drawn lines that appears in figure 1. The jaws of the trapping device 2 they have the piece of textile material isolated at a short distance from its side edges, so that the edges that are aligned transversely to the direction of transport 5 stand laterally from the jaws. The trapping device 2 moves to the plane of the second transport device. Next, the clamping device 2 with the jaws moves in the plane of the second transport device towards the latter, and the second transport device moves in the opposite direction towards the clamping device, so that these two elements approach one another. to another. The second transport device is formed by conveyor belts 3 configured as continuous circulation belts. The lower branch of the conveyor belts rests on a counter-superstructure 10. Since the trapping device 2 is arranged laterally next to the conveyor belts 3 of the second transport device, as can be seen in particular in Figure 1, both sets 2 and 3 can be approximated in such a way that they cover each other without this obstacle being obstructed or having mutual contact. By means of this arrangement it is possible to bring the piece 1 of textile material fastened in the trapping device 2 both to the second transport device or to its conveyor belts 3 closer than the leading edge in the direction of advancement of the piece 1 of textile material the other piece of textile material already removed by the second transport device can be practically abutted.

As soon as the second transport device holds the piece of textile material with its conveyor belts 3 and removes it, the second transport device 3 can again be displaced in the direction of transport away from the trapping device 2, and also the device 2 of entrapment can be returned away from the conveying device, whereby the trapping device 2 is transferred simultaneously or subsequently to the plane of the first transport device, so that it is ready to receive the continuation of the textile width 1 and to isolate and transfer another piece of textile material. The movement possibilities of the assemblies 2 and 3 or of their individual parts are indicated by the arrows 11 of movement. The bearing surface 10 on which a conveyor belt 3 rests in each case elongates against the direction of transport (in FIG. 2 to the left), so that the edge of the piece of textile material can already be placed by the clamping device 2 on this positioning surface before the conveyor belt 3 comes into contact with the edge of the piece isolated from textile material.

Both the stretching clamp (transport clamp 4) and also the trapping device 2 can be operated pneumatically. The conveyor belts 3 can be driven synchronously, for example by an electric motor or the like. In figure 5 the possibility of displacement of the second complete means of transport with the continuous conveyor element 3 is shown. The lower branch of the transport element 3 is guided parallel to the support surface (10) and rotates on drive rollers and / or impellers. To receive an article 1 'the entire unit is moved to the left in the drawing with the conveyor element 3 in circulation, for example by means of a linear drive 28 which is held stationary (at 27). After or during the reception of the article 1 'the unit moves again to the right to the basic position, which is shown in figure 5. During this the transport element 3 continuously rotates at a constant speed. By means of the device shown, a way of proceeding is possible in which the piece of textile material isolated in each case can be approached free of gaps or almost free of gaps to the piece of textile material that is already removed by the second transport device, in such a way that an extremely tight removal of the isolated pieces of textile material towards the stations or later processing organs is possible. In figures 3 and 4 of the drawing a key element of the device for transporting a two-dimensional article is shown, for example an article of a width of textile fabric. The article 1 'is transferred parallel to the support surface 10 from the first transport means to the second transport means. The second means of transport is constituted by a continuous conveyor 12 with two transport elements in the form of conveyor belts 3 spaced one from the other transversely to the transport direction 6. The conveyor belts 3 are associated in each case with a support surface 10 in the manner of a strip extending parallel to the transport direction 6, on which, during transportation, the respective transport element (3) is interleaved, the parts being interleaved of the edge of article 1 '. The bearing surface 10 can also be formed by the upper branch of a circulating continuous conveyor arranged below the article 1 '. Each of both transport elements (3) is already inverted and driven in such a manner with the formation of a regulating U-turn that the inversion zone 14 of the transport element (3) oriented against the transport direction 6 can be move parallel to transport direction 6 to a transfer position which is exemplarily shown in Figure 3, by dragging the transport element from its basic position in which the zone 14 is displaced to the right in figure 3 of the drawing. In this, another transport element 15 of a second continuous conveyor is arranged closely adjacent and parallel to the transport elements (3) of the first continuous conveyor. The transport elements 15 of the second continuous conveyor are operated in the same transport direction and at the same speed as the transport elements (3) of the first continuous conveyor. By this it is possible to move back in the transport direction 6, from the transfer position to the basic position, the inversion zone 14 of the transport elements (3) of the first continuous conveyor, that the article 1 ' is transported in the transport direction 6 by the transport elements 15 of the second continuous conveyor and that the inversion zone 14 resting on the article 1 'moves back to the basic position yet and the corresponding part of the element 3 Of transport.

In both cases (items 3 and 15) the continuous conveyors are designed as belts of continuous continuous circulation. In particular, the transport elements configured as toothed belts are provided with gear wheels as reversing wheels 16, 17, 18, 19 and guide wheels 20, 21, 22 as well as drive wheels 23 which are operated by an electromotorized driving mechanism 24 . In this, the closely adjacent transport elements of the first and second continuous conveyor (the elements 3 and 15 on the right side and the left side seen in the transport direction 6) are each driven by the same drive mechanism 24. Both pairs of transport elements are driven synchronously and in the same direction by two electric motors 24. Each transport element 3 of the first continuous conveyor is invested in each case around a first reversing wheel 16 at its reversing end 14 oriented against the transport direction. The upper branch of the transport element that runs towards this first inversion wheel is inverted twice around a second inversion wheel 25 and a third inversion wheel 18 forming a U-turn, the first inversion wheel 16 and the second reversing wheel 25 more closely adjacent to that referred to the upper branch running towards it are together displaceable against the transport direction 6 from the basic position to the transfer position and back to the basic position, as indicated by Arrow 26 of movement. In this case, the lower branch running in the transport direction 6 always rests against the support surface 10. To detect the position of the article 1 ', for example, an optical barrier can be provided in the region of the reversing roller 16 and / or in the region of the reversing roller 17, by means of which the edge of the article 1' is detected and by means of which the positioning drive acting on the displacement device is switched for the displacement of the inversion zone 14. By displacing the reversing zone 14 against the transport direction 6, the corresponding reversing wheels rotate faster while the belt (3) itself rotates at a constant speed. When returning to the basic position the belt 3 keeps turning with constant speed. The entire system works preferably with a belt speed of approximately 15 to 20 m per minute.

The invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment but can be varied in multiple ways within the framework of the disclosure. All the new individual or combined characteristics disclosed in the description and / or drawing are considered as an integral part of the invention.

For this purpose the second means of transport substantially comprises a continuous conveyor belt (12) of the belt, belt or chain type comprising two transport elements (3) positioned at a distance from one another transversely to the transport direction. Each transport element (3) is associated with a support surface (10) in the form of a strip that is parallel to the transport direction (6) and on which each transport element (3) rests during the sequential displacement of the transport element (3). the articles, wherein the areas of the edge of the article (1 ') are placed between the transport element (3) and the support surface (10). Each of the transport elements (3) is inverted and guided so as to form a regulating U-turn (13) and so that the inversion zone (14) directed against the transport direction (6) can be move parallel to the transport direction from its basic position to a transfer position, by dragging the transport element (3).
