Definitions
- the present invention relates to a routing device and method for stacking articles, such as in particular journals or magazines.
- This device will be particularly designed to integrate a production line in the field of labor and will be particularly intended to be placed at the outlet of the film-wrapping machine.
- this is only an advantageous use of the device, other uses also being possible.
- It will thus be possible to use the routing device in the field of graphic arts and, for example, in the field of the press, for stacking articles such as newspapers.
- the constraints in terms of manufacturing times are high. Whether in the design of magazines or newspapers, the trend is to reduce production time so as to allow the delivery time for the editorial content of the articles to be delayed as much as possible.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a routing device allowing the formation of stacks comprising a very variable number of articles. Another object of the present invention is to provide a routing device allowing the treatment of articles of variable dimensions, the articles possibly being part of the same series. Another object of the present invention is to provide a routing device making it possible to limit manual sorting operations. The invention also relates to a method for routing articles implemented in the aforementioned device.
- FIG. 1 represents, in a schematic view, an example of a routing device according to the invention
- - Figures 2 to 4 show, schematically, different configurations of an element I shown in Figure 1
- - Figure 5 shows, schematically a detail of embodiment of the routing device according to the invention
- - the Figures 6 and 7 show a detail of the device of Figure 1 in two different configurations.
- FIG. 1 in which a routing device 1 is shown, it can be seen that said routing device 1 comprises a main line 2 and an auxiliary line 3. It should be noted that, in another embodiment , it would be entirely conceivable to produce a routing device 1 comprising several auxiliary lines 3.
- the routing device 1 comprises routing means 4 making it possible to direct the articles to be conveyed 5 towards each of the main 2 and auxiliary lines 3.
- at least one auxiliary conveyor line 3 comprises means 6 for stacking articles making it possible to stack the articles 5 in at least two mobile stacking zones 7.
- the switching means 4 consist of a pivoting conveyor 8.
- This pivoting conveyor 8 is supplied with articles and, preferably, from a sequencing conveyor 9 d isposed upstream of the routing chain.
- Said pivoting conveyor 8 is pivotally mounted about an axis located at its end opposite the sequencing conveyor 9.
- the other end of the pivoting conveyor 8 can be moved so as to be located at the main line 2 or the auxiliary line 3, as shown respectively in Figures 2 and 3 so as to convey the articles on each of the lines.
- the switching means 4 also make it possible to deflect the articles 5 towards a discharge zone, not shown in the attached drawings.
- This discharge zone may for example be intended to recover articles 5 and, for example, articles which may have defects or else constitute a recovery tank for products known as ribbons, that is to say products made up of several articles 5 which are not dissociated because of problems in cutting the protective film upstream. Referring this time mainly to FIG.
- the stacking means 6 of the auxiliary conveyor line 3 comprise means for depositing 10 of each article 5, said means of deposit 10 being associated with a cleat conveyor 11.
- the depositing means 10 comprise a feed conveyor 12 and at least one stop 13 allowing each article 5 to be placed in a mobile stacking zone 7.
- each zone movable stacking 7 is formed by the volume defined between the bottom 14 of the cleat conveyor 11 and two consecutive cleats 15.
- the feed conveyor 12 receives the articles 5 from the pivoting conveyor 8 when the latter is placed at its level.
- the article 5 conveyed by the feed conveyor 12 is ejected at its outlet against the stop 13.
- the stop 13 allows the article 5 deposited to be pressed against the lower cleat 15 of the mobile stacking zone 7 so as to form straight batteries ready to be processed and for example packaged.
- the deposition means 10 comprise means for adjusting the distance between the stop 13 and the feed conveyor 12 as a function of the length of the article 5 conveyed. These distance adjustment means, not shown in the accompanying drawings, make it possible to adapt the stack to series of articles of variable dimensions and also to stack on the same mobile stacking area 7 articles 5 of dimensions variables.
- the stop 13 comprises displacement means 16 between a low position a in which the stop 13 is disposed between two cleats 15 of the cleat conveyor 11 and a high position b allowing the movement of the cleat conveyor 11.
- the means 16 are made up of a motor making it possible to pivot the stop 13 around an axis 17.
- the characteristics of the auxiliary line 3 therefore make it possible to produce a multitude of stacks, each stack being formed in a mobile stacking zone 7. Whenever a stack is formed, it is possible to move the stacking area 7 by advancing the cleat conveyor 11 so as to place a new mobile stacking area 7 plumb with the outlet of the conveyor feed 12. At this stage, it is possible to form a new stack of articles 5 on the auxiliary line 3.
- This auxiliary conveyor line 3 is particularly advantageous for forming pil es of small dimension, the stack must not in fact exceed the height of a cleat 15. However, it will also be possible to provide conveyors 11 whose cleats 15 have a significant height so as to be able to form stacks of large dimensions .
- the main line 2 comprises a stacker 18 of the “turn pile” type. It is a classic stacking line for making stacks of significant height. In this routing device 1, it will therefore be particularly advantageous to send the articles 5 which have to form a large stack to the main line 2 and to send the articles 5 which have to form small stacks to the auxiliary line 3.
- a main line 2 also comprising means for stacking 6 articles 5 making it possible to stack the articles 5 in at least two mobile stacking zones 7.
- various operations are then carried out on the formed stacks.
- the stacks can be held by a plastic strip with a strapping machine or else wrapped in a film-wrapping sheath by means of a shrink wrapper. These operations may be carried out either on a line common to the main line 2 and to the auxiliary line (s) 3, or on separate lines. In most applications, the first option will be preferred, which reduces the costs of the routing line.
- the routing device 1 to include means for transferring the batteries produced in the auxiliary line 3 to the main line 2.
- the cleat conveyor 11 comprises deformation means 19 making it possible to move the distal end 20 of the cleat conveyor 11 from a low position to a high position so as to transfer the stacks produced in the auxiliary line to the main line 2.
- the deformation means 19 are constituted by metal bars 21 and means for spreading and bringing together said bars 21 making it possible to modify the shape of the cleat conveyor 11.
- the metal bars 21 are separated and that the end distal 20 of the conveyor 11 is located below the main line 2.
- the present invention also relates to a method for routing articles implemented in the routing device 1 with the aforementioned characteristics. In this routing process, the following steps are carried out: - switching of items 5 to compose a large stack towards the main line 2, - switching of items 5 to compose a small stack to the auxiliary line 3, - conveying of the batteries made on the main line to an accumulation zone 22, - displacement of the movable stacking zones 7 of the auxiliary line 3 when a stack is formed there.
- the article routing method 5 can also provide an additional step of transferring the batteries produced on an auxiliary line 3 to the main line 2.
