Definitions

  • the device and method for the transport of flexible sheets of the present invention are those that allow the transport of flexible sheets of those used in the graphic arts sector or packaging industry, between different handling stations.
  • the device described in this document does not allow the transport of these flexible sheets at high speeds, since the air currents generated during the Transport of each flexible sheet can separate the sheet from the device, initially bending its front edge and finally separating the sheet from the device, causing the sheet to exit the longitudinal direction of transport and be arranged obstructing the passage of other sheets.
  • This situation requires that an operator has to intervene to remove the sheet that hinders the passage, being necessary to stop the transport device, with the corresponding loss of time.
  • a solution to this problem would be to increase the force exerted by the air extractor so as to ensure that the sheets were more glued to the drag rollers.
  • the sheets are flexible, there would be a risk of damaging them during transport due to the action of the rollers on the sheet, in addition that the sheets would be slowed by rubbing against the plate through which the rollers protrude. It is therefore an objective of the present invention to disclose a device for transporting flexible sheets that allows transporting flexible sheets at higher speeds without damaging them.
  • the device for transporting flexible sheets of the present invention is one that combines mobile support means on which a sheet can be applied and which are adapted to move the sheet in a direction of travel, preferably straight and preferably horizontal; and suction means to keep the sheet applied against the support means.
  • the device is characterized in that the support means are configured so that a sheet applied against the support means adopts a combo shape in a plane transverse to the direction of travel, which it can be for example ribbed or in the form of a tile.
  • the combated shape can be both convex and concave, as well as be undulated, presenting convex sections and concave sections, advantageously allowing the sheet to move while maintaining the combated shape thereby increasing the bending resistance of its front part and supporting greater accelerations and speeds. without separating from the device and without being damaged.
  • the combated shape has a curve whose ratio between the rope and the sagite is less than 100, that is, 100 sagites fit or less in the rope, so that the variation of the curve's trajectory is sufficiently high such that the sheet is sufficiently warped so that a bending resistance is achieved in the transport direction.
  • the combated shape has a curve whose ratio between the rope and the sagite is greater than 10, that is, 10 sagittes or more fit in the rope, so that the variation in the trajectory of the curve is sufficiently low so that the sheet can be sufficiently combined but not damaged.
  • the combated shape has a curve whose relationship between the rope and the sagite is less than 100 and greater than 10, that is, they fit between 10 and 100 sagites in the rope, so that it gives good resistance to the blades. to bend in the longitudinal direction of transport without damaging them.
  • the curved shape has a curve whose sagite is larger than 20 millimeters, said shape being suitable for the transport of flexible sheets of cardboard in a curved or corrugated shape.
  • the mobile support means comprise drive axes parallel to each other, perpendicular to the direction of sheet travel and which follow a curved path in the plane transverse to the direction of sheet travel, said axes being provided with wheels. Said wheels determine a transport surface of the sheets through which the sheets can be transported when pushed by the wheels.
  • Each drive axle can be independently driven by a motor, thus controlling the rotation speed of each axle so that the blades can be accelerated and braked by gradually increasing or decreasing the rotation speed of consecutive axes as appropriate.
  • This speed control can be controlled by a computer through which instructions are sent to the different motors that drive the shafts, as well as other means of support, such as a conveyor belt.
  • the curved path that follows each driving axis in its transverse plane to the direction of travel of the sheets is equal to the curve of the transport surface in that same transverse plane.
  • the drive axles comprise straight sections whose ends are connected to a turn transmission parts coupled to both sides of the same wheel, thus allowing rotation to all the wheels of an axle, thus allowing the rotation to be transmitted to all wheels of the same axle.
  • the wheels are provided with lateral recesses for the coupling of the turning transmission parts that allow the turn of the section to be transmitted to the wheel and the wheel transmits the rotation to the next section through its piece of transmission.
  • the profile of the turning transmission parts and the wheel recesses is complementary, the complementary profile being a complementary gearwheel profile in a variant of interest.
  • the wheels are of a more flexible material than the turn transmission parts, thus allowing consecutive straight sections to vary the axis trajectory by slightly deforming the turning transmission parts. Incoming wheels. To achieve this effect, in a variant of interest the wheels are expected to be made of polyurethane or any other flexible material.

  • means for expelling defective sheets arranged between the axes, so that when said means of ejection are operated by an operator, push a defective sheet to remove it from the device.
  • These means of ejection means will preferably be retractable, that is, they can be hidden inside the device and can comprise a pneumatic piston which, when actuated, allows the sheet to be pushed out of the device quickly and the ejection means removed, thus removing only the defective sheet and avoiding that the rest of the plates, that would not present defects, are expelled.
  • the support means in the direction of travel comprise a conveyor belt, which allows a better control of the sheets, especially for braking and positioning with precision.
  • the device may comprise an acceleration section in which the mobile support means comprise drive axes parallel to each other, perpendicular to the direction of sheet travel and that follow a curved path in the plane transverse to the direction of displacement of the sheets, said axles being provided with wheels, and a final section in which the support means comprise a conveyor belt, thus allowing that in the acceleration section the sheets can increase and decrease their speed as the different drive axles keeping the sheets attached to the device and that in the final section the sheets can be better controlled, held more firmly and even released by deactivating in this final section the suction means, for example for stacking.
  • the device described above comprises an acceleration section in which the mobile support means comprise drive axles parallel to each other, perpendicular to the direction of travel of sheets, said axles being provided with wheels, and a final section in which the support means comprise a conveyor belt, sufficient transport of the sheets could be achieved even if they were not combatants, that is, they will be transported flat, although in this case they would not support speeds and accelerations as high as when transported combatants.
  • the devices described above could also be considered in which the mobile support means on which a sheet can be applied and which are adapted to move the sheet in a direction of travel, were configured so that a sheet applied against the means of support it would adopt a flat shape in a plane transverse to the direction of travel, although speeds and accelerations would not be supported as high as when transporting combatants.
  • the device of the present invention therefore allows to carry out a method for transporting flexible sheets comprising applying a flexible sheet against mobile support means that are adapted to move the sheet in a direction of travel; and keeping the sheet against the support means by means of suction means, so that the flexible sheet adopts a combo shape in a plane transverse to the direction of travel, that is, the process for transporting flexible sheets comprises combining the sheets in a plane transverse to the direction of travel, thus conferring greater resistance to bending the sheets on their front during transport and allowing the sheets to be transported at higher speeds and accelerations.
