Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of conveyor technology and relates to a device for aligning a flat product, which is conveyed on a conveying surface of a conveyor, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention further relates to a method for aligning the sheet product with said device according to Claim 14.
  • Conveyors for sheet products, such as printed matter, are known in the art.
  • the products are conveyed on a conveyor system and aligned by means of straightening plates and / or stop cams.
  • straightening plates and / or stop cams are aligned by means of straightening plates and / or stop cams.
  • Especially in the promotion of printed products are often promoted whole stack of flat products.
  • a conveyor device for conveying and aligning flat products or stacks of flat products.
  • the products can be aligned by means of sliding cams on their trailing edge and by means of cams, which precede the sliding cam, on their leading edge.
  • this device it is possible to align flat products or a stack of flat products along an edge extending at right angles to the conveying direction.
  • GB-A-921,679 discloses a device for aligning flat products, which are transported by means of a conveyor belt defining a conveyor surface. Next, an alignment conveyor belt is arranged directly adjacent to the conveying surface of the conveyor belt. The conveying direction of the Ausricht consideredbandes runs with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt at an acute angle. The Ausricht complicatband detects an conveyed by the conveyor belt object, which is then laterally displaced by the Ausricht qualifyband with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt and brought with a side edge to the alignment surface for conditioning and then aligned. Due to the narrow gap between Ausrichtschiband and conveyor belt, the device is according to GB A-921,679 designed to align only individual objects. A promotion of stacks of products, however, is not provided.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a simple and reliable apparatus for aligning a product, which also allows to align only the uppermost product of a product stack.
  • Aligning means moving the product relative to the undisturbed conveying movement.
  • the goal here is to move or rotate the product to a desired position and position, for example with respect to another object.
  • the device according to the invention serves for aligning a flat product which is conveyed on a conveying surface of a conveyor system at a conveying speed.
  • the flat product has on its side facing away from the conveying surface on at least partially exposed surface. Preferably, this surface is completely exposed.
  • an alignment unit of the device is arranged above the conveying surface of the conveying system, which changes the position of the product relative to the undisturbed conveying movement by means of a force acting on the exposed surface.
  • the alignment unit has a self-contained, flexible force transmission member, which forms a sagging strand on the side of the alignment unit facing the conveying surface, which is intended to come into contact with the at least partially exposed surface of the product and with the force on the Product to interact. This allows the product to be moved or rotated. Experiments have shown that this force is relatively small.
  • Sagging means that the strand in the direction of the conveying surface has a convex shape and is not strained in a straight line.
  • the strand is virtually free of tension; it may only have a tensile stress due to its own weight and frictional and acceleration forces generated during operation.
  • the strand comes in contact with the product and leaves the relatively small force along a contact length act on the at least partially exposed surface. The product is thus accompanied by the force transmitting member along a contact length.
  • a sagging strand makes it possible to move the product to be aligned as gently as possible.
  • the strand exerts a force which is essentially independent of the thickness of the product on the at least partially exposed surface or the relevant product. As a result, a uniform alignment of the flat products regardless of the thickness or a stack height can be achieved.
  • the device according to the invention makes it possible to displace only that product of a product stack which comes into contact with the strand. As a rule, these are predominantly the uppermost product of a product stack, since this has an exposed surface on its side facing away from the conveying surface. Other products are not displaced by the friction.
  • the power transmission element is driven.
  • a separate motor is used, which drives the power transmission member.
  • the alignment of the product is precisely controlled; A product can be accelerated or slowed down compared to the conveying speed and thus aligned accordingly.
  • the power transmission member is designed as a link chain, as a belt or as a belt. Such a design achieves an efficient and at the same time gentle transmission of force.
  • the power transmission member in operation at a rotational speed which is greater than the conveying speed of the conveyor system to align the product by means of an edge viewed in the conveying direction leading edge.
  • the flat product is moved with respect to the conveying surface and accelerated with respect to the conveying speed.
  • only the speed component of the rotational speed acting in the direction of the conveying direction can also be used be greater than the conveying speed. This can be the case with respect to each other obliquely oriented conveying directions of the alignment and the conveyor system.
  • the rotational speed of the power transmission member is smaller than the conveying speed of the conveyor system in order to align the product by means of a trailing edge in the conveying direction.
  • the product is moved with respect to the conveying surface and braked with respect to the conveying speed.
  • only the speed component of the rotational speed acting in the direction of the conveying direction can be smaller than the conveying speed.
  • a smaller rotational speed than the conveying speed also means that the rotational speed of the conveying speed can be opposite.
  • the strand may enclose an angle of preferably 2 ° -30 °, particularly preferably 5 ° -15 °, in a projection into the conveying surface, with the conveying direction. This allows the product to move laterally and align with it.

  • such a design of the alignment unit or of the power transmission element allows to obtain a relatively large contact surface between the strand and the flat product, whereby a good transmission of force from the strand to the product is ensured.
