Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stacking device for strip segments, especially for textile strip segments provided with end folds, as defined in the preamble to patent claim 1 .
  • strip segments are, in particular, textile labels.
  • Stacking devices of the type stated in the introduction are already known, such as, for example, from U.S. Pat. No. 3,846,960.
  • the strip segments are deposited in a stacking shaft.
  • the labels are initially deposited on opposing hold-down devices and then pressed into the stacking shaft by means of press-down devices when the hold-down devices are withdrawn.
  • the hold-down devices are then extended again prior to the withdrawal of the press-down devices into the starting position.
  • Disposed in the stacking shaft is a shaft floor, connected by friction engagement with a guide. As the build-up of the stack progresses, the shaft floor is also retired.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a stacking device of the type stated in the introduction.
  • the bulging of the strip segments in the stacking shaft in the build-up of the stack can be monitored and, whenever this bulging exceeds a predetermined measure and breaks the light barrier, the motorized drive of the shaft floor is activated and triggers a retirement of the shaft floor at least to the point where the light barrier is once again unbroken, preferably, however, to the point where the bulging of the strip segments is eliminated and these are lying substantially flat again.
  • the additional extent of the retirement is preferably adjustable. This offers the basic advantage that the lowering of the shaft floor is not effected by the press-down devices but by a motorized drive of the shaft floor, thereby allowing a smooth and controlled build-up of the stack in the stacking shaft.
  • the stacking shaft can be assigned to strip segments of specific size.
  • a configuration as claimed in claim 2 is advantageous, however, in which the side walls is adjustable to the length of the strip segments to be stacked.
  • the shaft floor can be transported by a drive mechanism for its back.
  • a drive mechanism for its back.
  • the shaft floor is assigned a slide which is movably disposed on a side wall.
  • this slide can have a dedicated drive.
  • a linear gear may, for example, be a spindle or a chain drive.
  • a rotary toothed belt is also advantageous.
  • the support facing away from the slide is designed as a connecting member displaceable on the assigned side wall.
  • the flexibility of the stacking shaft can be improved if the side walls according to claim 8 have on the back rear wall strips, thereby not only simplifying the mutual adjustability of the side walls, but also additionally improving the support of the stack of strip segments in the stacking shaft.
  • the stacking shaft can be arranged in any chosen position, horizontally for instance. More advantageous, however, is an embodiment according to claim 9 , since the depositing of the strip segments is easier if the stacking shaft is vertical. It is advantageous if the stacking shaft is angled slightly backward, so that the strip segments bear against the rear wall and the stack cannot tilt forward.
  • the guidance of the stack of strip segments in the stacking shaft can be improved by a configuration of the stacking device as claimed in claim 10 .
  • a guide member disposed between the side walls of the stacking shaft and extending over the length of the stacking shaft is expediently configured such that the distance of the guide member to the rear wall of the stacking shaft and, where appropriate, its position between the side walls are adjustable.
  • the stacking shaft is preferably open in the upward direction and designed such that a packing container can be slipped over the stack of strip segments in order to grasp the stack and remove it from the stacking device.
  • the stacking device as claimed in claim 12 , according to which the stacking lock is fixed and the stacking shaft is displaceable parallel to the rear wall, at least between the stacking position and an end-loading position. According to claim 13 , an additional stand-by position can be provided.
  • the displaceability of the stacking shaft various design options present themselves.
  • the rear wall is configured as a fixed back plate, on which the side walls of the stacking shaft are disposed such that they are displaceable transversely to the stacking direction.
  • the hold-down devices are expediently configured as laterally extensible and retractable pins. Their mutual spacing allows the press-down devices to reach through between them.
  • the latter, according to claim 16 are expediently configured as rakes which can be swung in and out against the stacking shaft.
  • FIG. 1 shows a stacking device, in fragmented, schematic representation from the front
  • FIG. 2 shows the stacking device of FIG. 1 along the section II-II of FIG. 1 , yet with retired press-down device and without drive mechanisms.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a stacking device as is suitable, for example, for a cutting and folding plant according to WO 01/66343.
  • the stacking device contains a stacking shaft 2 having two opposing side walls 4 , 6 and a rear wall 8 .
  • Supported on a retirable shaft floor 10 is a stack 12 of strip segments 14 , which are provided on both sides with end folds 16 .
  • Arranged upstream of the stacking shaft 2 is a stacking lock 17 , which has retirable hold-down devices 18 and retirable press-down devices 20 , which alternately engage on the strip segments 14 .
  • the stacking shaft 2 is formed by the rear wall 8 , configured as a back plate, from which the side walls 4 , 6 are hung such that they are displaceable via guide members 22 .
  • the side walls 4 , 6 are equipped with rear wall strips 24 , which point toward one another and against which the strip segments 14 bear with their front sides and which additionally rest on the back plate 8 . It is thereby possible to adjust the mutual spacing of the side walls 4 , 6 to the length of the strip segments 14 .
  • the shaft floor 10 contains a slide 26 assigned to a side wall 4 , which slide is transportable on a rail 28 of the side wall 4 .
  • the slide 26 can have a dedicated drive, though, in the present example, it is preferably connected to a linear gear 30 , formed of a rotary toothed belt driven by a motor 34 .
  • Attached to the slide 26 is a guide 36 extending over the maximum width of the stacking shaft, which guide is preferably formed of two guide rods 38 .
  • supports 40 , 42 Disposed on the guide rods are supports 40 , 42 , which are adjustable in terms of their mutual spacing and against which floor parts 44 rest.
  • the floor parts are individually selected according to the width of the stacking shaft 2 and, where appropriate, other desired characteristics.
  • the floor parts consist of foam rubber, so that they can be compressed. Hence, no change of floor parts is necessary if the width of the stacking shaft is altered.
  • a support 42 is additionally designed as a connecting member, which is disposed displaceably on the associated side wall 6 and, moreover, is jointly transported whenever the side wall 6 is laterally displaced along the guide rods 38 . Where appropriate, the support 42 can be fixedly connected by fixing screws 46 to the guide rods 38 in order to fix the distance between the side walls 4 , 6 .
  • the stacking shaft 2 is angled slightly backward in order to aid the depositing of the strip segments 4 in the stacking shaft 2 .
  • This can be further aided by a guide member 48 , which extends substantially over the length of the stacking shaft.
  • the guide member 48 is attached to a stand 50 on the side wall 6 by means of a coupling piece 52 .
  • a fixing screw 54 in the coupling piece 52 cooperates with the stand 50 and allows vertical adjustment of the guide member 48 .
  • a further fixing screw 56 cooperates with the guide member 48 and allows adjustment of the position of the guide member 48 between the side walls 4 , 6 .
  • the guide member 48 can thus be adjusted precisely to the dimension of the stack 12 of the strip segments 14 .
  • the stacking shaft 2 occupies the stacking position in which it cooperates with the fixed stacking lock 17 containing the hold-down devices 18 and the press-down devices 20 .
  • the hold-down devices 18 are configured as laterally extensible and retractable pins 60 , which are mutually spaced and are driven via a lever gear 62 operated by a control cam 64 .
  • the lever gear 62 is pretensioned against the control cam 64 with a pretensioning spring 66 .
  • the press-down devices of 66 is pretensioned against the control cam 64 .
  • the press-down devices are configured as rakes 68 which can be swung in and out against the stacking shaft 2 and are likewise driven via a lever gear 70 and a control cam 72 , against which the lever gear 70 is pretensioned by means of a pretensioning spring 74 .
  • other drives can also be envisaged, such as, for example, fluid-operated piston/cylinder units, step motors and the like.
  • Assigned to the hold-down devices 18 is a light barrier 76 , which is connected to the drive mechanism of the shaft floor 10 by a control device (not detailed).
  • the modus operandi of the stacking device is as follows.
  • the hold-down devices 18 are free and prevent the stack 12 of strip segments 14 from expanding upward.
  • a feed device for example feed pincers
  • an incoming strip segment 14 with end folds 16 is deposited on the hold-down devices 18 , whereupon the press-down devices 20 swing in.
  • the hold-down devices 18 are withdrawn and the press-down devices can deposit the strip segments on the stack.
  • the hold-down devices 18 are reextended and reach between the teeth of the rake of the press-down devices 20 .
  • the latter can thereupon be extended back out of the stacking shaft 2 into the position shown in dashed representation to allow a new strip segment 14 to be deposited on the hold-down devices 18 .
  • This stacking operation is continuously continued until, owing to the inner tension of the stack, strip segments arch upward and break the light barrier.
  • the drive of the shaft floor 10 is thereupon activated and the shaft floor is lowered, by means of the drive mechanism, at least to the point where the light barrier is unbroken. Where appropriate, the lowering can be realized with overmeasure to the point where the strip segments are lying substantially flat. A smooth and meticulous stacking, even of difficult strip segments, in particular, for example made of thicker, stiff textile materials, is thereby perfectly possible.
  • the shaft floor is relowered to the point where the stack of strip segments 14 is released from the stacking lock 17 and the stacking shaft 2 can be displaced laterally into an unloading position (not detailed).
  • a packing container can then be slipped into the upwardly open stacking shaft and over the stack 12 of strip segments 14 for the stack of strip segments to be taken up into the packing container.
  • the empty stacking shaft 2 can be fed back to the stacking lock 17 or transported into a stand-by position (not detailed).
