Definitions

  • ABSTRACT Conveyor apparatus for transporting an imbricated formation of objects, such as a succession of folded newspapers, comprises a conveyor track adjoining the trailing edges of the newspapers, and pairs of grippers moving along the conveyor track and gripping the trailing edges of the newspapers.
  • a distribution or device is disposed ahead of the conveyor track to provide the intervals between successive newspapers of the imbricated formation so that the distance between successive trailing edges of the newspapers corresponds to a predetermined value.
  • the present invention relates to conveyer apparatus for transporting laminar or flat objects arriving in imbricated formation, particularly for folded printing shop products, and having a conveyer track adjoining the succession of trailing edges of the laminar objects, and a number of endless travelling grippers.
  • the grippers are associated with the conveyer track in such manner that they engage the two side edges of the objects, i.e., the two sides of the imbricated formation to clamp the latter for transportation to a kind of continuous ribbon which travels together with the conveyer track.
  • This known conveyer apparatus is dependent on the size of the conveyed objects, i.e., the distance between the grippers engaging both sides must be closely adapted tothe width of the objects.
  • both of the mentioned known conveyer apparatus do not admit complete freedom in the path of the conveyer track.
  • At least a portion of the travelling path of the grippers directly adjoins the conveyer track and means are provided for moving the grippers, in a region of said travelling path thereof, in the conveying direction relative to the conveyer track to cause the grippers to grip the trailing edges of the laminar objects.
  • the grippers accordingly are associated with the trailing edges of the objects and push so to speak the latter ahead in conveying direction, the side edges and the leading edge of the products remaining free.
  • the grippers are arranged symmetrically, e.g., in pairs at both sides of an endless travelling conveyer member which coincides with the conveyer track by one of its lengths.
  • the grippers can comprise a jaw which is fixed relatively to the conveyer member, as well as a jaw which is movable relatively to the conveyer member and cooperating with the fixed jaw, the movement of the movable jaw conveniently being helical, in such manner that when the gripper is open the fixed jaw is completely and freely accessible and the movable jaw is turned away from the fixed one, while the closing of the gripper is effected by a simultaneous inward pivoting movement and displacement of the movable jaw towards the fixed jaw.
  • a distribution member can be provided, so that upon arrival of an imbricated succession with an irregular compactness, this imbricated succession can be arranged such that the intervals between successive objects of the imbricated formation correspond to a predetermined value or a whole multiple of this value.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show in elevation and in section, respectively, the course of a conveyer track of the apparatus according to the invention in a building
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 represent in diagrammatic side view and in diagrammatic plan view, respectively, a portion of the entrance section of the conveyer apparatus
  • FIG. 5 is a diagrammatic side view of the discharge section of the conveyer apparatus
  • FIG. 6 shows in diagrammatic plan view a portion of the non loaded conveyer apparatus, two different gripper actuating means being represented on the left hand and the right hand side, respectively, of the figure,
  • FIG. 7 is a section along the line 77 of FIG. 6,
  • FIG. 8 represents diagrammatically in plan view the operation of the actuating means of the grippers shown in FIG. 6 at the left hand side,-
  • FIG. 9 represents diagrammatically in side view the operation of the actuating means of the grippers shown in FIG. 6 at the right hand side,
  • FIG. 10 is a diagrammatic side view of a distribution or cadence member at the entrance section of the conveyer apparatus.
  • the conveyer apparatus 11 in FIGS. 1 and 2 has an inlet section 12 with av distribution member 14 which will be described later, and the conveyer: apparatus 11 terminates at a discharge section 13.
  • the conveyed material in imbricated formation in the present case newspapers 2, arriving from a rotary printing press R into a room 20, is supplied to a feeding device 33 of a further treating station of the production line in another room 21 along a path providing as much free space'as possible on the floor B.
  • This path is described by the portion of the conveyer apparatus following the distribution member 14 and first is directed vertically upwards in a section 15, then continues horizontally via a section 24 bent about a horizontal axis. Afterwards the conveyer path describes a right turn 25 about a vertical axis. After the turn 25, the imbricated formation is twisted in a section 26 about an axis situated in the conveying direction and then travels in a horizontal section 27, with the imbricated formation vertically situated imbricated formation, through an opening 28 in a wall W between the rooms 20 and 21, whereafter the imbricated formation in a further section 30 is twisted back and then, after a curved section 31, it travels vertically downwards in a section 32 prior to reaching the discharge section 13.
  • an endless travelling conveyer member 16 only indicated diagrammatically, at least by one of its strands, preferably, however, by both strands.
  • deflection members for the conveyer member 16 e.g., rolls l7 and 18 are provided which are rotatably mounted in corresponding frames or casings 22 and 23, respectively.
  • the drive of the conveyer member l6 is effected in conventional manner and is indicated herein diagrammatically only by a motor driven pulley 19 near the casing 23.
  • the conveyer path of the represented conveyer apparatus can be designed with practically any desired curves, twists and bends, the relative movements between the objects, in the present case newspapers, and the grippers, as well as the relative movements between successive objects remain limited to a minimum rate and accordingly also the risk of damaging the objects during transport.
  • FIG. 4 represents a portion of an endless conveyer member 40, consisting of a link chain 44, a flexible follower member 41 being attached to both sides thereof to hold the newspapers Z in spaced relation on the link chain 44.
  • the construction of the conveyer member 40 is described in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • pairs of grippers are provided on both sides of the conveyer member 40, for movement with the conveyer member.
  • the movable jaws of each of the pairs of grippers are designated by numerals 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38, and numeral 39 designates the jaws which are fixed with respect to the conveyer member 40 and are associated with the movable jaws 34.
  • the movable jaws 33 to 38 essentially consist of a circular sector-shaped flap which is fixed to a cylindrical shank at the center of the circular sector, extending at right angles to the flap.
  • the shank of the movable jaw first can act as a driver which moves upon the trailing edge of an adjacent newspaper situated in front of it as seen in the conveying direction, whereafter the flap turns forwardly and is urged towards the fixed jaw to clamp this edge.
  • FIG. 5 As seen from the left to the right, there are visible two not identified grippers in closed position, a gripper 45 ready to open, and three grippers (the first one being designated by 46) in open position, i.e., raised by the distance a and having the jaws turned rearwardly.
  • the transfer to the following conveyer belt 33, see also FIG. 1, is assisted by a stationary guide member 43, e.g., a guide rail or a guide plate (indicated diagrammatically in FIG. 5).
  • the transfer can also be effected without the help of a guiding member. It suffices to direct the path of the conveyer member, at the place where the grippers have returned to open position, i.e., in FIG. 5 at the raised position of the gripper 46 from the imbricated formation. The result thereof is that the objects reaching the discharge end of the conveyer apparatus, project freely beyond this discharge end and can be picked up from underneath by the beginning of the following conveyer device 33.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 the construction of the conveyer apparatus is illustrated in more detail.
  • the links of the link chain 44 carry rolls 50, which are mounted on roll pins 51 projecting from the rolls 50 on both sides therefore.
  • the roll pins 51 are uniformly spaced and hingedly connected to each other in conventional manner, alternately by means of inner link pairs 52 and outer link pairs 53.
  • the roll pins 51 extend through the links, and both of their ends engage an endless flexible member 41, formed, for example, as a profiled tube of rubber moving with the chain, the purpose of which consists in not letting the conveyed material make contact with the link chain 44, in order to avoid possible interference therewith.
  • the links 53 of the outer link pairs are disposed in a plane at right angles to the roll pins 51 on the lower side of the chain and form carrier flanges for the guide members of the chain and the components of the grippers.
  • the guide members of the chain 44 consist of a carriage 54 travelling in a stationary tubular rail of substantially C-shaped CI'OSS SBCtIOn.
  • This carriage is attached to the lower end of the outer links 53 and comprises three rolls 56, 57 and 58 which are rotatably mounted on the carrier flanges about axes extending parallel to the roll pins 51, and the rolls 56, 57, and 58 travel inside the tubular rail 55.
  • a fourth roll 59 is provided, extending through slits 60 in the links and adapted to travel with clearance along the terminal edges of the bent-over wings of the C-shaped tubular rail 55.
  • one gripper is provided at each side of the chain 44.
  • one kind of gripper 63 is illustrated in FIG. 7 on the left hand side, and another kind ofgripper 64 on the right hand side. It will be understood that in the practical embodiment of the conveyer apparatus, similar grippers will be provided on both sides of the chains, e.g., such as indicated at 63 or such as indicated at 64.
  • the gripper 63 is carried on the laterally projecting wing of the bracket 62.
  • This wing is formed with a bore 65 in which a threaded sleeve 66 is secured in suitable manner.
  • the threaded sleeve is provided with a female screw thread of coarse pitch, in the present example, a double square thread.
  • the shank 67 of the movable jaw of the gripper 63 is screwed into this thread.
  • the circular segment-shaped flap 68 is secured to the upper end of the shank 67, while an arm 69 is fixed to the lower end of the shank 67, a follower roll 71 being rotatably mounted about an axis extending parallel to the shank 67 at the free end of the arm by means of a connecting pin 70.
  • This follower roll is adopted to cooperate with a stationary guide 72 disposed at the level of the rail (see also FIGS. 6 and 8).
  • a compression spring 73 acts between the bottom side of the laterally projecting wing of the bracket 62 and the arm 69, in order to urge the shank normally into its lowermost position. In this position also the angular position of the arm 69 is defined owing to the action of the thread.
  • the guide 72 directly causes a rotation of the shank 67, and the square thread, due to this rotation produces a lifting of the shank 67, whereas the element corresponding to the guide 72, in the case of the gripper 64, directly causes the raising of the shank and accordingly the thread causes its rotation.
  • the gripper 64 is constructed similar to the gripper 63.
  • This gripper again comprises the flap 68, the shank 67 with the double square thread, the threaded sleeve 66 and the spring 73.
  • the shank 67 is provided with a sliding pad 74 having the shape of a planoconvex lens (FIGS. 7, 9) and being fixed by its plane side to the lower end face of the shank 67.
  • This sliding pad 74 is adopted to cooperate with a roll track 75, the path of which is inclined relative to the path of the rail 69, as seen in FIG. 9.
  • FIG. 8 is a plan view
  • FIG. 9 is a side elevation. While the guide 72 (when the rail 55 is horizontal) is situated in a horizontal plane parallel to the path of the rail, the roll path 75 is situated in a plane parallel and at right angles to the path of the rail (see also FIG. 6).
  • the rolls 76 of the roll track 75 are staggered in longitudinal direction within a U-shaped support 77, in order to afford a travel of the sliding pads 74 as much as possible without vibrations and shocks.
  • the conveyer belt arriving from the printing press R is driven in the direction of the arrow at the speed v,,, the imbricated formation being transported thereby.
  • This belt conveyer is associated with a driver device 80.
  • the driver device 80 comprises an endless chain 81 driven by two chain wheels 62 and 83 at a speed v
  • Drivers 84 in the form of bell crank levers are fixed to the chain 81 at uniform longitudinal intervals and each is hingedly mounted at its angle vertex for rotation about a pin 85 against the action of a spring (not shown), the pin being fixed to and travelling with the chain.
  • One of the legs 86 of the bell crank levers 84 is trailing with respect to the travelling direction of the chain 81 and normally abuts against a stop 87 also travelling with the chain, while the other leg 88 extends at right angles to the direction of movement of the chain 81 and the end of outwardly of this latter, and one strand of the chain 81 penetrates between the individual conveyer belts of the belt conveyer driven with the speed v
  • a stationary stop member 89 is provided in proximity of the chain wheel 83, and is adapted to rearwardly collapse the driver members 84 abutting against it, in the direction of the arrow 90 and thereby to swing the ends of the legs 88 downwardly to face in a direction opposite the conveying direction v, and opposite the direction of travel of the chain 81 and out of reach of the conveyer belts 91.
  • v is greater than v while v, is at least equal to v,,.
  • the travelling speed of the chain 81 and accordingly of the driver members 84 in any case is greater than the conveying speed of the imbricated formation formed by the newspapers Z. It results therefrom, that the ends of the legs 88 penetrating between the conveyer belts 91 as a rule catch up with a trailing edge of a respective one of the newspapers, ab'ut against this latter and push the corresponding newspapers forwardly through a certain amount until the distance from the preceding newspaper is exactly the same as the distance h between two successive driver members 84, which is greater than the distance between two successive gripper pairs of the following portion of he conveyer apparatus 11 (FIG. 1).
  • the speed v of the conveyer belts 91 and accordingly of the conveyer chain 44 with the grippers must be so chosen that the number of grippers becoming I available per unit of time corresponds at least to the peak value of the compactness" of the imbricated formation arriving at the speed v
  • the represented conveyer apparatus offers the possibility that the conveyed imbricated succession is regular in the sense that the distance between successive objects always corresponds to a constant value or to a whole multiple of this value, Further, the illustrated conveyer apparatus, besides the general advantage of the particular absence of any problems at the end of the conveyer path, offers the possibility, owing to theregularity of the conveyed imbricated formation, to serve directly as a supply device for a successive treating station.
  • Conveyer apparatus comprising an endless travelling conveyer member, said grippers being secured to said conveyer member at regularly spaced intervals.
  • Conveyer apparatus comprising a distribution means arranged ahead of said conveyer track and comprising a plurality of driving members each cooperating with a respective one of said objects in said imbricated formation, said driving members being successively arranged at uniformly spaced intervals and being moved in a direction parallel to said conveyer track at a travelling speed greater than the conveying speed of the supplied imbricated formation.
