Definitions
- the invention relates to a stack storage device for a printing device.
- the output trays are usually equipped with a lifting table on which a tray for holding the sheets lies.
- the lift table At the start of a destacking process, i.e. when there are no sheets in the output chute, the lift table is in its uppermost position so that the sheets arriving at the output chute are placed on the tray with a low drop height.
- a stack of sheets is formed on the tray, the lifting table being lowered in accordance with the increasing height of the stack of sheets in order to keep the drop height of the sheets approximately constant. If the lifting table is lowered to its lowest position, the capacity of the output shaft is exhausted. The further stacking of sheets and the operation of the printing device must therefore be interrupted until the output chute is emptied.
- the tray can be arranged on a sliding carriage so that it can be pulled out of the output shaft together with the paper stack.
- Such output trays usually have a capacity of up to about 1300 sheets of paper, which has a basis weight of 80 g / m 2 . With a sheet rate of approx. 80 sheets / min, such an output shaft is filled in approximately half an hour must be emptied. In the meantime, however, high-performance printers are used that feed sheets into the output trays at a rate of 158 sheets / min. At such a sheet rate, an output chute with a maximum filling capacity of 1300 sheets would be filled in about a quarter of an hour. An operator who would operate several such high-performance printers is permanently busy with the emptying of the output trays of the individual printers at such short emptying intervals.
- Sheet stacks are difficult to handle because they are usually heavy. For example, 1000 sheets of A3 format paper with a basis weight of 80 g / m 2 already weigh 10 kg.
- a stack storage device is disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,374,902.
- This stack storage device consists of a shaft in which a support surface is formed by three parallel horizontal bars placed side by side, which can be moved vertically in the shaft.
- brochures are fed to the shaft in the stream of shingles by means of a conveyor.
- the brochures are stopped by the wall of the shaft opposite in the conveying direction and piled up on the support surface. If a predetermined stack height is reached, the support surface is lowered, as a result of which the stack of brochures accumulated on the support surface is transferred to a further conveying device which conveys the respective stacks.
- Several stacks can lie on this further conveyor at the same time.
- a device for processing single sheets delivered by a printer emerges from CH 683 179 A5.
- individual sheets delivered by a printer are collected at a first collecting station to form a partial stack and are then transported step by step according to a bar code contained on the individual sheets.
- the partial stacks are collected on a conveyor belt.
- This device is designed as a separate unit that can be attached to an output slot of the printer.
- DE 44 40 367 AI describes a device for stacking sheets of paper or cardboard on pallets.
- This device has a frame for lifting and lowering pallets.
- a device for feeding the sheets is provided, a stop board against which the sheets are fed being arranged in the feed plane above the pallets. The sheets are stopped by the bulletin board and placed on the pallet below.
- No. 5,037,078 discloses a device for feeding stacks of paper folded in zigzag format. The paper of a stack is connected to the paper of an adjacent stack by removing the uppermost layers of a stack by means of a suction device and bringing them into connection with the lowermost layer of the adjacent stack.
- DE 197 01 645 AI describes a device for handling a stack formed by sheets on a printing press.
- This device has a stacking space in which sheets are collected into a stack. After a predetermined stack height has been reached, a stack is automatically displaced by being conveyed out of the stacking space by means of a conveyor line.
- the conveyor section has two sections, the first section being arranged inside the stacking space and the second section being arranged outside the stacking space.
- the stacks are collected on a stack pad, which is a pallet, for example.
- the pallet lies on the conveyor lines and is transported out of the stacking space when the specified stacking height is reached.
- No. 5,335,903 discloses a sheet feed device which has a storage shaft and a feed shaft which are arranged directly next to one another. The sheets are separated from the feed chute and fed to the printer. If the feed chute is completely emptied, the stack of sheets arranged in the storage chute is transferred into the feed chute. For this purpose, conveyor belts are provided, with which the stack is moved from the storage shaft into the feed shaft. With this sheet feed device, the dead time required for reloading the feed shaft is kept low. The reservoir can be gradually refilled during further operation.
- the invention has for its object to provide a stack storage device for a printing device for stacking sheets, which enables a high capacity, is easy to use and can be easily retrofitted to an existing printing device.
- the stack storage device has a conveyor device with which a stack of sheets accumulating on a sheet receiving surface can be automatically transported away and temporarily stored. This will make the on the
- Sheet receiving surface of stacked sheets divided into several handy piles and buffered on the conveyor An operator can thus easily remove the relatively small and therefore light stacks.
- By temporarily storing the sheet stacks on the conveyor a high sheet capacity is achieved, which can be expanded as desired by extending the conveyor.
- the stack storage device is designed as a separate structural unit, so that it can simply be inserted into an output compartment of an existing printing device.
- the tray in the output compartment is optionally replaced by a tray that is compatible with the conveyor, such as exchanged a slotted tray.
- the stack storage device preferably has an electrical control device that is independent of the printing device, so that the retrofitting or attachment of the stack storage device to the printing device can be easily accomplished.

- Front view, and 9 and 10 a slotted tray with cover plates in the front view.
- FIG. 1 shows a stack storage device 1 which is coupled to an output unit 2 of a printing device 5.
- a conveying path 3 for sheets printed by the printing device 5 is shown, wherein pairs of rollers 4 are arranged for transporting the sheets.
- the stack storage device 1 has an approximately cuboid housing 6, which is detachably coupled to a housing 7 of the printing device 5 in the region of its output unit 2.
- the housing 6 of the stack storage device 1 is open on one side.
- a usually provided carriage for removing a stack accumulated in the output unit is removed from the output unit 2, so that the output unit is also open on one side.
- the two housings 6, 7 are placed together with their open sides so that they form a continuous chamber 8 for stacking or storing printed paper.
- the conveying path 3 is delimited by a stop 13 which is arranged transversely to the conveying direction and against which the sheets conveyed on the conveying path 3 are conveyed.
- the stop 13 consists for example of a sheet metal strip with a length of about 30 cm and a height of 3 to 5 cm.
- lateral stops and / or a device for aligning the blades at the stops, such as a paddle wheel, can be provided in a manner known per se.
- a lifting table 14 is provided, which is formed from at least two longitudinal struts 15 arranged in the conveying direction, to which, for example, three feet 16 are attached could be.
- the longitudinal struts 15 of the lifting table 14 can be raised or lowered together by a lifting device (not shown).
- a tray 17 rests on the longitudinal struts 15, which has a rectangular shape in plan view (FIG. 2) with two longitudinal edges 18 and two end edges 19.
- the size of the tray 17 is dimensioned such that the sheets to be processed by the printing device generally lie completely on the tray 17. However, sheets can also be stacked which protrude a little at the edges of the tray 17.
- the tray 17 is arranged with respect to the stop 13 with its front end edge 19 in alignment with the stop 13, so that at the beginning of the stacking process the tray 17 can be attached to the stop 13 with its front end edge 19 and the sheets braked by the stop 13 are safe come to rest on the tray 17.
- Slits 20 are made in the tray 17 and extend from the front end edge 19 parallel to the longitudinal edges 18.
- three slots 20 are provided which are equally spaced from one another, the longitudinal struts 15 supporting the tray 17 at the intermediate regions between two adjacent slots 20.
- the slots 20 extend over a large part of the length of the tray 17.
- a belt conveyor 22 which in the present embodiment has three endless conveyor belts 23, each of which loops around two horizontal conveyor rollers 24, 25.
- the conveyor roller 25 is arranged adjacent to the end wall of the housing 6.
- the other conveyor roller is arranged by means of a holding device (not shown) outside the housing 6 of the stack storage device in such a way that the belt conveyor 22 on the stack feed Cherv device 1 protrudes and m the housing 7 of the output unit 2 protrudes.
- the conveyor belts 23 are each assigned to a slot 20 of the tray 17, so that they are arranged at the same distance as the slots 20 and directly in the area below the slots 20, so that the upper run 26 of the conveyor belt 23 is not included when the lifting table 14 is lowered the tray 17 collides.
- the tray 17 can thus be lowered to a level below the upper run 26 of the conveyor belt 23, the conveyor belt 23 with their upper run 26 each passing through the slots 20 of the tray 17.
- the area of the dispensing unit 2 in which the lifting table 14 is located forms a receiving area 27 for receiving the requested sheets, the surface of the tray 17 representing a sheet receiving area 28.
- the area of the belt conveyor 22 which extends beyond the receiving area 27 forms a storage area 29 in which at least one sheet of paper 30 can be temporarily stored.
- the storage area 29 preferably has a length that at least allows the temporary storage of two or more sheet stacks 30.
- the output unit 2 has a stack height sensor 8, a lift table sensor 9 for detecting the lowest position of the lift table 14 and an extension sensor 10.
- the extension sensor 10 is provided for detecting a carriage with which a stack can be removed. The carriage is replaced here by the stack storage device 1 according to the invention.
- the stack storage device 1 is provided with an actuating element 11 which is arranged adjacent to the extension sensor 10 and with which this can be operated.
- the stack storage device 1 also has a further lifting table sensor 12/1 and a sheet stack position sensor 12/2.
- the lifting table sensor 12/1 is provided for detecting the lowest position of the lifting table 14 and the sheet stacking position sensor 12/2 can be used
- Sheet stack 30 can be detected when it has left the output unit 2 and is completely accommodated in the stack storage device.
- this stack memory device 1 The operation of this stack memory device 1 is explained in more detail below.
- the sheets printed by the printing device are requested along the conveying path 3 against the stop 13.
- the movement of the leaves is braked so that they on the
- Sheet receiving surface 28 of the tablet 17 fall. If the tray 17 is empty, the lifting table 14 is raised to its maximum upper position, in which the tray 17 either lies directly against the stop 13 or is only a small piece away from it. As the demand increases, a stack of sheets 30 is stacked on the tray 17, the height level of the tray 17 being lowered in accordance with the height of the stack of sheets 30. The lowering can take place by a continuous gradual lowering movement or can be carried out in small steps. The sheet stack height is detected by sensor 8.
- the further sheet request is briefly interrupted and the lifting table 14 is lowered to a level so that the tray 17 is arranged below the upper strands 26 of the conveyor belts 23. As a result, the sheet stack 30 lies directly on the conveyor belt 23.
- This lowest position of the lifting table 14 is detected by the two sensors 9 and 12/1.
- the sensor 9 is connected to the control device of the printing device 5.
- the sensor 12/1 is connected to the control device of the stack storage device 1. Its control device starts the motor (not shown) of the belt conveyor 22. This motor is stopped when the stack 30 to be requested from the output unit has reached the sheet stack position sensor 12/2.
- the actuating element 11 acts on the extension sensor 10, this loading being released only during the lowering of the operation of the motor of the belt conveyor 22, as a result of which the output unit is simulated that the carriage which is not present is extended. This avoids conflicts in the automatic operation of the printing device with the output unit and the stack storage device 1, without a common electrical control device having to be provided both for the printing device and for the stack storage device.
- the maximum height of the sheet stack 30 is to be dimensioned such that when the tray 17 is completely lowered, the top of the sheet stack is arranged below the lower edge of the stop 13.
- the sheet stack 30 lying on the belt conveyor 22 in this way is requested by the conveyor belts 23 in the direction 31 from the output unit 2 m according to the control processes described above, the stack storage device 2 or storage area 29.
- the form element is stopped again - controlled by the stack position sensor 12/2 - and the lifting table 14 is moved into its maximum upper position in order to receive another sheet stack.
- the process of stacking another sheet stack 30 is repeated in the manner indicated above.
- two sheet stacks 30 can be temporarily stored in the storage area 29.
- Sheet stacks can be removed by the operator at any time during the essentially continuous operation of the printing device 5 and the output unit 2.
- the height of the sheet stacks 30 is preferably determined so that the sheet stacks 30 have a manageable weight of e.g. Have 5 kg to 15 kg.
- the absolute height of the sheet stack 30 depends on the size of the sheets and the properties, e.g. Thickness, basis weight, etc. of the sheets and can be determined individually for each sheet type.
- the operation of the stack storage device 1 is controlled by a control device (not shown) which is independent of the printing device and the output unit 2 and which automatically stacks the sheets on the tray 17, lowers the lifting table 14 and transports the sheet stack into the storage area 29 controls. If the control device of the stack storage device 1 detects an error, it releases the action on the ejection sensor 10, as a result of which the control device of the printing device interrupts the stacking process. With the interface of the control devices formed by the control element 11 and the extension sensor 10, an error that occurs can even be passed on and the further processing can be interrupted.
- FIG. 3 shows a printing device with an output unit 2 and a stack storage device 1 coupled to it.
- the stack storage device 1 is arranged on a roller frame 32, which is detachably fastened to the output unit 2 with a latching and / or locking device (not shown), so that its arrangement with respect to the output unit can be permanently fixed. From Fig. 3 it is clear that the stack storage device 1 can be moved as a separate unit and attached to an output unit 2 and can be detached from this again. With the stack storage device 1 according to the invention, the output capacity of a printing device or its output unit can thus be subsequently, easily and quickly increased.
- an output unit 2 of a printing device 5 with a stack storage device 1 with two belt conveyors 22 is shown schematically in a broken side view.
- the dispensing unit has a stop 13, a lifting table 14, longitudinal struts 15 and a slotted tray 17 with longitudinal edges 18 and end edges 19.
- the belt conveyors 22 are formed with three conveyor belts 23, which each wrap around two conveyor rollers 24, 25.
- a receiving area 27 with a sheet receiving area 28 and a storage area 29 is provided.
