Sheet distribution mechanism
The invention concerns a sheet distribution mechanism with a conveyer system for promoting Blattmaterlal along a horizontal and at least a vertical promotion way to a majority, branching of it, one above the other collecting subjects arranged by with mutual distance, which ever a signalgestenerte, into which vertical promotion way swingable detour mechanism to turning back sheet material from this promotion way into a selected collecting subject is assigned.
With the well-known Blattverteileinrichtnngen of this kind the capacity is limited to a firm sheet number, i.e. it cannot be increased or reduced for adjustment to different requirements. The invention aims off to create a Blattverteileindchtung which is build upable in such way to individual construction units that by lining up an appropriate number of Bauelnheiten a mechanism of desired capacity can be developed.
The described task according to invention thereby solved that the entire BIattverteileinrichrnng from at least two gesch', dteten construction units eingefluchteten also one on the other one behind the other, horizontal promotion way sections compound up is, whereby between each other course-turned faces of two successive construction units a vertical promotion way is formed for a construction unit by at the face the arranged propelled transport system and a Führnngssystem for the sheets, located on the course-turned face of the second construction unit, in each case, nnd whereby in the range of the joint of the eingefluchteten horizontal Förderwegabschrätte of the two neighbouring construction units at one of these units a detour mechanism swingable into the horizontal promotion way is intended, with which the sheet material alternatively from the horizontal promotion way in between both neighbouring construction units the running vertical promotion way transferable or into that next horizontal F5rderwegabschnitt is pass onable.
During a particularly favorable execution of a B [attverteileinrichtung with more than two connect in seriesable construction units at least a face is the propelled transport system intended with the second construction unit to a, which forms a vertical promotion way with a guiding system at the course-turned Stirnselte the neighbouring construction unit, while on the other face of the same Bauelnheit a guiding system is located, which forms a further vertical promotion way with a propelled transport system of the Srirnseite of the neighbouring unit. In this way secured, Trade Union of German Employees becomes each if necessary later for enlargement of the entire mechanism after-creative Bauelnheit with the preceding and - if available - also with the following complementary presses together.
In the designs a remark example according to invention trained of a Blattverteiteinrichtung is represented. Show: Fig.1 a perspective front view of a number of Bauelnheitcn, which form a sheet distribution machine together, whereby a construction unit from its operating position is shifted represented; Fig.2 a perspective front view of individual Bauelnheit; Fig.3 a cut by a construction unit, which shows Antriebsund Umlenkelnrichtungen; Fig.4 a perspective opinion of a part of the horizontal promotion way; Fig.5 in large yardstick a held regards the controls for the detour mechanisms and Fig.6 a perspective opinion of a Stenerorgans, in Fig.1 is sheet distribution units --100-- represented, the one number of collecting subjects --ll0-- for the admission of sheets contained, yield to be sorted and/or on the Sammel#ächer distributed are. There is two sheet distribution units --i00-- represented, of those with the Blattverteileinrichtang --200-- a uniform Blattvertellmaschine forms and the other one is separately from it represented, around the promotion way of the sheets into the collecting subjects --110-- and/or into a Bauelnheit --100-- to show. The construction units are however directly successively arranged actually, so that they form a uniform sheet distribution machine, whereby the seal plate --400-- at the last construction unit is arranged.
That collect-hurry each construction unit contains a number of collecting subjects --110--, those of Sammelplatten --111-- are formed, which with distance from each other between the front and the rear framework plate --102 and/or 103-- and at their lower ends are arranged the framework plate right with projections/leads into slots --106-- intervene, during their upper ends on the left framework plate --107-- rest, u.zw on parts of the base plates bent laterally --113--, those with their parts at the left framework plate, running upward --107-- are fastened. The respective part bent laterally is led by slots in the framework plate, around resting upon the Sammelplatre --to make possible 111.
Around a correct Ausrichtnng of the sheets led into the collecting subjects ztl, is a deflecting plate ensures --114-- at the lower surface of the part of the base plate bent laterally --113-- fastened, those the sheets downward into the rear part of the collecting subjects --110-- diverts. Each Sammelplatte --111-- is at its lower surface with a number of fingers --115-- provided, in order to guarantee that into a neighbouring collecting subject did not carry sheets at the Sammelplatte lying over it --111--continue due to electrostatic loads. Each Sammelplatte --111-- becomes by springy strips --116--, which are fastened to the fingers, against the lateral part of the base plate --113-- pressed, as this is recognizable in Fig.3.
As follows in particular from Fig.3, the sheets become into the collecting subjects by a number of propelled pinchrolls --121-- distributed, those with distance from each other between the front and the rear framework plate --102 and/or 103-- are fastened. Hiezu serve adjustable u-shaped ones bridges, which the role axles --123-- in appropriate slots of the framework plates hold. Each pinchroll is on the firm axle --123-- swivelling stored and with a groove, those provide together with the detour gates --131-- the detour mechanisms --130-- a line of the sheets in pre-determined consequence into the correct in each case collecting subject causes.
To the guidance of the sheets into the collecting subjects --110-- becomes the TransportroUen --121-- by a flexible drive volume --141-- moved, each role affects and over a number of open-circuited roles --142-- it is led whereby each pinchroll with the same speed is propelled. During the arrangement of the drive volume shown in Fig.3 only an axle needs for substitution of this volume --146-- to be removed, while the pinchrolls --121-- in their situation to be left can.
The endless volume --141-- becomes by a friction wheel --144-- propelled, that at a temporally steered gear wheel --145-- is fastened, which on the axle --146-- between the front and the rear framework plate --102 and/or 103-- is stored and by an electric motor --B-2-- one propels.
The detour mechanisms --130-- contain a number of detour gates --131--, those on in each case an axle --132-- in the front and rear framework plate --102 and/or 103-- are swivelling stored.
The detour gates are with a curved part --133-- and with a flat part --134-- provided and on the axles --132-- in such a manner arranged that they intervene in their not turning back situation in the slots of the pinchrolls, which are arranged at the route of transportation of the sheets. If the detour mechanisms are operated in still describing way, then an axle becomes --132-- turned and the flat part of the detour gate is out-moved from the groove of the TransportroUe, so that the curved part --133-- into the promotion way of the sheets it projects whereby these are led into a pre-determined collecting subject.
While the sheets with the pinchrolls in the cooperation with the open-circuited roles are transported in still describing way, become the Umlenkei ichtungen --130-- successively to the detour of the sheets into the respective collecting surface of a Nockeureihe --150-- operated, whereby each cam --151-- the Drehbewegang of individual Umlenkeinrlchtung steers in such a manner that the flat part of the respective detour gate, which is because of the promotion way of the sheets, from which groove of the pinchroll is out-moved and into the promotion way of the paper in-arrived. The cam shaft --153--, which is represented in Fig.5, is at its upper end with a camp ---154--- at the rear framework plate --103-- fastened and becomes the turn of a stepping motor --B-3-- propelled, that at the rear framework plate by means of an angle --149-- is fastened. The cams --151--, those in each case with a collection --152-- are provided, are on the cam shaft --153-- arranged, so that their turn causes leading the collections past a given point in given order. This successively taking place movement of the cam collections causes a manipulation of the detour mechanisms in the same order, whereby a release lever --155-- with his gegabelten end with the respective cam in connection stands. Each detour mechanism --130-- is at the end of the axle --132-- with a such marriage --155-- provided, so that with manipulation in the descriptive order a movement of the detour gates into the promotion way with the pinchrolls --121 -- and the open-circuited roles --161--promoted sheets it takes place whereby these are rerouted into the appropriate collecting subject.
As follows from Fig.5, is at the lower end the cam shaft --153-- a tax gear wheel --156-- fastened, its top the limit switch ---LS-11--- and its lower Tell the limit switch --LA-12-- operated. These switches are with an angle --157-- fastened to the rear framework plate and work in way still which can be described.
For the completion of the promotion way of the sheets into a certain collecting subject the junction point is two of construction units a number of open-circuited guiding roles of --161--planned, those in the right framework plate --106-- are stored. These raw ones --161-- are ever on a fork --162-- swivelling stored, those on a support rod --163-- lies. This is at a frame part --165-- fastened and is linked up the counterclockwise, related to Fig.3, so that an easy printing contact of the open-circuited raw ones --161-- with the pinchrolls --121-- another attached construction unit takes place, if the entire arrangement is in BetriebssteUung and forms a uniform sheet distribution machine. The situation of the entire arrangement --160-- and thus the open-circuited guiding roles --161-- is by angles --166-- determined, this arrangement with the right framework plate --106-- connect.
A seal plate --400-- the conveyer system of the last construction unit of a sheet distribution machine locks outward. An FührungsroUen arrangement in the kind of the arrangement --160-- is on the seal plate --400-- stored and the pinchrolls --121-- as well as the detour mechanisms --130-- the last construction unit in the way already described assigned. At the seal plate --400-- if suitable mechanical catches are intended, which mechanical connections with appropriate counterparts, how they are shown in Fig.2, cause and the seal plate to the last construction unit fasten, so that a uniform distribution machine is formed.
At the frame part --165-- is a number of parallel guide rails --164-- fastened and in such a manner arranged that with Znordnung of a construction unit --100-- to a further construction unit the promotion way of the sheets at the guide rails, formed thereby --164-- between the Führnngsrollen --161-- and the pinchrolls --121-- runs. In this position of both construction units becomes with manipulation of a detour mechanism --130-- by a cam --151-- the flat part --134-- the respective detour gate, which normally parallel to the promotion way of the sheets is, into the promotion way and thus into the guide rails --164-- in-moved. The curved part --133-- arrived from there it into the promotion way of the sheets and this steers into the desired Sarnmelfach.
As follows from the designs, the sheets become over the top side of the sheet distribution mechanism by means of the horizontal arranged transport equipment --170-- at the left framework plate --107-- downward into the respective collecting subject led. For the easier removal of possible sheet inhibitions is the transport equipment --170-- at a side on a drag axis --171-- stored, those at the rear framework plate --103-- with angles --I72-- is fastened, so that the transport equipment --170-- of the pinchrolls --121-- to be away-swivelled can, as is shown in Fig.2. It is possible to eliminate in simple way possibly arising sheet inhibitions here for the sheet distribution mechanism.
The horizontal transport equipment --170-- a baseplate has --173--, those with parallel guide rails --164-- is provided. These stand in reciprocal effect with the detour gates of a detour mechanism --130 '--, those in for the Umlenkeinriehtung --130-- way already descriptive works. A number of support rods is fastened in parts of the transportation framework bent upward.
These carry a number of guiding roles --161--. The gegabelten storage hurry --162-- these roles reach into a Hahestange --I63-- and become, as in Fig.4 is represented, by openings of the transportation framework in the clockwise direction on the pinchrolls --121-- pressed. This is done via leaf springs --174--, which are fastened to the lower part of the forks, during their upper end in each case in a slot a retaining bridge --175-- lies.
In order to make the connection possible of the Baneinheiten to the formation of a machine, are suitable mechanical liaison vehicles --137, 138 and 139-- planned, which ensure an aligning of the individual units one on the other as well as to their mechanical connections. The detour mechanism --I30'- is similar in construction and attachment to the detour mechanism --130-- implemented and at the rear end of the horizontal arranged transport equipment --170-- planned, in order to steer the transition of the sheets to the collecting subjects of the sheet distribution mechanism or the sheets to a subordinate construction unit lead up.
To the bypass of the sheets of the transport equipment --170-- in the vertical promotion direction and/or.
the Ohergabe into the respective collecting subjects the detour gates of the detour mechanism become --130 '-- turned, whereby their raised surface arrives into the promotion way of the sheets. If the sheets are to be led into a subordinate construction unit, then the cam shaft becomes --153-- into a position turned, in that the gegabelte part of the release lever --155 '-- by the collection of the cam --151 '-- and the detour gate of the detour mechanism is affected --130 '-- from the horizontal promotion way of the sheets out-moves, whereby the flat part of the detour gate arrives into the groove of the pinchroll, so that the sheets are led to the next construction unit.
In order to be able to attach a further construction unit easily to a sheet distribution mechanism and around the removal of sheet inhibitions, which possibly arise in the vertical promotion way between the two interconnected construction units, to facilitate is a chassis --180-- planned, that at the front and rear framework plate --102 and 103-- as well as at the right framework plate --106-- , during it is festgeschweißt at the left framework plate --107-- is fastened with an angle. In this way an easy movement of each construction unit is possible. The chassis --180-- is with three axles --181-- provided, those through upward bent parts of the framework plate --182-- and roles are led --183-- carry, which are swivelling stored on the axles. Furthermore it is a rail guidance --190-- planned, those in perpendicular direction adjustable feet exhibits and the roles --183-- the chassis it leads in such a manner that the construction unit concerned can be pushed onto the sheet distribution mechanism or removed from this, so that the education of a uniform distribution machine and/or the removal of sheet inhibitions is possible in the vertical promotion way between the two construction units. 1,193,513. Collating sheets. RANK XEROX Ltd. 23 Aug., 1967 [25 Aug., 1966], No. 38855/67. Heading B8R. A machine 200 for collating sheet material comprises a series of units 100 arranged in side-by-side operative relationship, each unit including a series of superposed sheet-collecting trays, each tray having at its entrance a sheetdiverting mechanism which, on actuation by mechanism controlled by a programmed control device M-2, either feeds the oncoming sheet into the tray or diverts it for subsequent delivery to a tray lower down. Photo-electric cells are used so that the diverting mechanisms are actuated by moving sheets. Surplus sheets, i.e. sheets surplus to the number of collecting trays in the machine, are diverted to a collecting bin which is arranged in the sheet flow path before the trays. Any sheet jam occurring in the machine causes an automatic mechanism to divert any sheets fed subsequent to the jam to the collecting bin. The top of each collator unit is hinged to provide ready access to the sheet flow path of the machine. 1. Sheet distribution mechanism by conveyer system to promoting sheet material along horizontal and at least of it branching vertical promotion way to majority of with mutual distance one above the other arranged collecting ashes, which one signal-steered each into which swingable detour mechanism is assigned to vertical promotion way for turning back sheet material from this promotion way into a selected collecting subject, is compound for horizontal promotion way sections thereby marked that the entire sheet distribution mechanism from at least two one behind the other switched construction units einfluchteten also one on the other, whereby in each case between each other course-turned faces of two successive construction units a vertical promotion way by at the face a construction unit the arranged propelled transport system (121) and a guiding system (161) for the sheets, located on the course-turned face of the second Baudness is formed, and whereby in the range of the Stoßstetle of the eingefluchteten horizontal promotion way sections of the two neighbouring construction units at one these keeping a detour mechanism swingable into the horizontal promotion way (130 ') is intended, with which the sheet material alternatively from the horizontal promotion way in between the two neighbouring construction units louse-ends to vertical promotion way transferable or into the next horizontal promotion way section is pass onable. 2. Blattverteileindchtung according to requirement 1, with more than two connect in seriesable construction units, D A D u r C h g e k e n n z e i C h n e t that at least with the second construction unit to a a face is intended the propelled transport system (121), which forms a vertical promotion way with a guiding system (161) at the course-turned face of the neighbouring construction unit, during on which other face of the same construction unit a guiding system (161) is arranged, which forms a further vertical promotion way for the face of the neighbouring unit with a propelled transport system (121).
