Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Fördern eines insbesondere geschuppten Stroms von Bogen zu einer bogenverarbeitenden Maschine, mit einem Fördertisch, der mit mindestens einem endlosen, ihn umlaufend antreibbaren Transportband versehen ist, mit einem unter dem Fördertisch angeordneten, unterdruckbeaufschlagten Saugkasten, der über Saugöffnungen im Fördertisch mit der Unterseite des Transportbandes verbunden ist, welches mit durchgehenden Sauglöchern versehen ist.The invention relates to a device for conveying a scaled in particular Stroms from sheet to a sheet processing machine, with a conveyor table that is provided with at least one endless conveyor belt which can be driven all around it, with a vacuum box under the conveyor table, which is pressurized is connected to the underside of the conveyor belt via suction openings in the conveyor table, which is provided with continuous suction holes.

Bei derartigen Vorrichtungen, sogenannten Saugbändertischen, liegt das allgemeine Problem darin, daß auch der erste und der letzte Bogen sicher transportiert werden muß. Die Förderung eines geschuppten Bogenstromes auf dem Saugbändertisch läßt sich hierbei in drei Phasen unterteilen.In such devices, so-called suction belt tables, the general lies Problem in that the first and the last sheet must be transported safely. The promotion of a shingled stream of sheets on the suction belt table can be divide it into three phases.

Die erste Phase läßt sich dadurch charakterisieren, daß bei Maschinenanlauf der erste Bogen, der von einer Vereinzelungsvorrichtung auf das Saugband geschoben wird, möglichst schlupfarm auf das gelochte Transportband angesaugt werden soll. In dieser Phase des Maschinenbetriebes ist die Saugkraft jedoch grundsätzlich dadurch gemindert, daß nur ein gewisser Bereich des Transportbandes durch den ersten Bogen abgedeckt wird und somit sehr viel Fehlluft angesaugt wird, so daß die Saugwirkung begrenzt ist.The first phase can be characterized in that the first Sheet that is pushed onto the suction belt by a separating device, should be sucked onto the perforated conveyor belt with as little slip as possible. In this However, the suction power is fundamentally reduced by that only a certain area of the conveyor belt is covered by the first sheet and thus a lot of incorrect air is sucked in, so that the suction effect is limited.

In der zweiten Phase, nämlich der Förderung des geschuppten Bogenstromes, die etwa dem stationären oder eingeschwungenen Zustand des Systems entspricht, herrschen konstante Betriebsbedingungen, weswegen diese zweite Phase als unproblematisch einzustufen ist.In the second phase, namely the promotion of the shingled arc stream, which is about corresponds to the stationary or steady state of the system constant operating conditions, which is why this second phase as unproblematic is classified.

Die dritte Phase der Förderung eines geschuppten Bogenstromes betrifft die Förderung des letzten Bogens des geschuppten Bogenstromes. Dieser Bogen wird über seine gesamte Länge auf das Transportband gesaugt und ist somit wesentlich stärker auf dem Transportband fixiert, als die sich teilweise überlappenden Bogen des geschuppten Bogenstromes. Bei diesem bewirkt das Überlappen der einzelnen Bögen, daß die Bögen nur mit einem Bruchteil ihrer Fläche mit dem Transportband in Kontakt stehen und demzufolge einer geringeren Ansaugwirkung unterworfen sind. Bleibt der letzte Bogen bei seinem Transport gegen die Vordermarken, dem im Saugbändertisch herrschenden Unterdruck ausgesetzt, so kann einerseits die Vorderkante des letzten Bogens an den Vordermarken eingedrückt oder andererseits die seitliche Ausrichtung nicht unerheblich behindert werden.The third phase of the promotion of a shingled arc stream concerns the promotion the last arc of the shingled stream. This bow is about his entire length sucked onto the conveyor belt and is therefore much stronger on the Conveyor belt fixed when the partially overlapping sheets of the scaled Arc current. In this case, the overlapping of the individual sheets causes the sheets are only in contact with the conveyor belt with a fraction of their surface and are therefore subject to a lower suction effect. The last sheet remains its transport against the front brands, the one prevailing in the vacuum belt table Exposed to negative pressure, the front edge of the last sheet can on the one hand Front marks pressed in or, on the other hand, the lateral alignment is not insignificant be hindered.

Durch die DE 44 16 289 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Fördern eines insbesondere geschuppten Stroms von Bogen zu einer bogenverarbeitenden Maschine bekannt. Der bei der DE 44 16 289 A1 vorgesehene Saugkasten ist mittels darin angeordneter Profile in einzelne Saugkammern aufgeteilt, damit auch in den weiter von der Saugquelle entfernt angeordneten Bereichen ein wirksames Vakuum anstehen kann, welches nicht durch den Einfluß von Leckagen beeinflußt wird.DE 44 16 289 A1 is a device for conveying a particular scaled stream of sheets to a sheet processing machine known. The at DE 44 16 289 A1 provided suction box is in by means of profiles arranged therein individual suction chambers divided so that they are further away from the suction source Arranged areas can apply an effective vacuum, which is not due to the Influence of leaks is influenced.

Durch die DE-A 11 81 240 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Fördern von Bogen zu einer Bogen verarbeitenden Maschine mit einer Saugrinne bekannt, der zwei voneinander beabstandete Saugöffnungen zugeordnet sind. Der Querschnitt der Saugrinne ist über die gesamte Transportstrecke konstant.DE-A 11 81 240 is a device for conveying sheets to an arc processing machine with a suction channel known, the two spaced apart Suction openings are assigned. The cross section of the suction channel is over the entire Transport route constant.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum Fördern eines insbesondere geschuppten Stroms von Bogen zu schaffen, bei dem auch der erste und der letzte zu verarbeitende Bogen sicher transportiert wird.The invention has for its object a device for conveying a in particular to create shingled stream of arches, in which also the first and the last sheet to be processed is transported safely.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the characterizing features of the claim 1 solved.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt insbesondere darin, daß beim erfindungsgemäßen Einkammer-Saugkasten eine geringe platzsparende Baugröße verwirklicht werden kann. The advantage of the invention is in particular that in the invention Single chamber suction box a small space-saving size can be realized.

Durch diesen einfachen, kleinvolumigen Aufbau eines jedem Transportband zugeordneten Saugkastens, können Saugquellen (z. B. Gebläse) mit kleiner Leistung eingesetzt werden. This simple, small-volume structure of each conveyor belt Suction box, suction sources (e.g. blowers) with low power can be used.

Ein besonderer Vorteil liegt auch darin, daß eine aufwendige Unterteilung des Saugkastens in mehrere in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen, hintereinander angeordnete Kammern nicht notwendig ist.A particular advantage is that a complex subdivision of the Suction box seen in several in the sheet transport direction, arranged one behind the other Chambers is not necessary.

Ein Fördertisch 1 ist mit zwei ihn umlaufenden parallel angeordneten Transportbändern 2 zwischen einem Stapel 4 und Ausrichtmitteln 6 in Form von Vordermarken 7 und/oder Seitenmarken 8 angeordnet.A conveyor table 1 is provided with two parallel conveyor belts 2 running around it between a stack 4 and alignment means 6 in the form of front marks 7 and / or Side marks 8 arranged.

Die Transportbänder 2 werden mittels einer Umlenkwalze 9 und einer Bänderantriebswalze 11 umgelenkt, wobei diese eine griffige, z. B. gummierte Oberfläche aufweist. Die Transportbänder 2 weisen durchgehende Öffnungen 12 und eine beschichtete Unterseite 13 mit kleinem Reibungskoeffizienten auf. Das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel weist zwei Transportbänder 2 auf, wie es der Bogentransport großformatiger Bögen erfordert. Selbstverständlich ist die Erfindung auch an Fördertischen 1 mit nur einem Transportband 2 einsetzbar, wenn entsprechend kleine Bogenformate zu verarbeiten sind.The conveyor belts 2 are by means of a deflecting roller 9 and Belt drive roller 11 deflected, this a non-slip, z. B. rubberized surface having. The conveyor belts 2 have through openings 12 and one coated underside 13 with a small coefficient of friction. The described Embodiment has two conveyor belts 2, as is the sheet transport large format sheets required. Of course, the invention is also on Conveyor tables 1 can be used with only one conveyor belt 2 if they are correspondingly small Sheet formats are to be processed.

Die Öffnungen 12 der Transportbänder 2 werden in Bogentransportrichtung (Pfeil ) derart über den Fördertisch 1 geführt, daß diese in Deckung mit Öffnungen 14 an der Oberseite 16 des Fördertisches 1 gelangen. Die Öffnungen 12,14 verbinden die Oberseite der Transportbänder 2 mit jeweils einem unter dem Fördertisch 1 angeordneten Saugraum 17 eines Ein-Kammer-Saugkastens 18. Jeder Saugkasten 18 weist zwei - in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen - voneinander beabstandete Sauganschlüsse 19, 21 auf. Eine Querschnittsfläche A des Sauganschlußes 19;21 ist genauso groß wie eine Querschnittsfläche B des Saugkastens 18.The openings 12 of the conveyor belts 2 are in the sheet transport direction (arrow) guided over the conveyor table 1 that they are in register with openings 14 at the Top 16 of the conveyor table 1 arrive. The openings 12, 14 connect the top of the conveyor belts 2, each with one arranged under the conveyor table 1 Suction chamber 17 of a one-chamber suction box 18. Each suction box 18 has two - in Sheet transport direction seen - spaced apart Suction ports 19, 21. A cross-sectional area A of the suction port 19; 21 is the same size as a cross-sectional area B of the suction box 18.

Ein Abstand A des hinteren, d. h. in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen ersten Sauganschlusses 19 von vorgeordneten Fördermitteln, in Form der Bänderantriebswalze 11 in Zusammenwirken mit einer angeordneten Taktwalze 22, ist gleich der kleinsten vorwählbaren Schuppenlänge 1 (z. B. 200 mm). Ein Abstand b des vorderen, d. h. in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen - zweiten Sauganschlusses 21, von den Vordermarken 7 entspricht höchstens der Länge des kleinsten Formates. Die Sauganschlüsse 19 und 21 sind in einer äußeren Seitenwand des Saugkastens 18 angebracht und mittels vorgesehener Luftschläuche 23 bis 26 mit einem Gehäuse 27 verbunden. An das Gehäuse 27 ist eine Saugquelle in Form eines Radialgebläses 28 angeflanscht. Innerhalb des Gehäuses 27 ist eine schwenkbar angeordnete Luft-Leit-Klappe 29 angeordnet, welches stufenlos von einer ersten Endstellung I in eine zweite Endstellung II verbringbar ist.A distance A of the rear, i.e. H. seen first in the sheet transport direction Suction port 19 of upstream funding, in the form of Belt drive roller 11 in cooperation with an arranged clock roller 22, is equal to the smallest preselectable scale length 1 (e.g. 200 mm). A distance b of the front, d. H. seen in the sheet transport direction - second suction port 21, of the Front marks 7 correspond at most to the length of the smallest format. The Suction ports 19 and 21 are in an outer side wall of the suction box 18 attached and by means of air hoses 23 to 26 provided with a housing 27 connected. A suction source in the form of a radial fan 28 is attached to the housing 27 flanged. Inside the housing 27 there is a pivotably arranged one Air-guiding flap 29 is arranged, which is infinitely variable from a first end position I into a second end position II is transferable.

Zu diesem Zweck ist ein fernbedienbares Stellelement in Form eines Arbeitszylinders 31 vorgesehen, welcher mit seiner Kolbenstange 32 an der Luft-Leit-Klappe 29 angreift.For this purpose, a remotely controllable control element in the form of a working cylinder 31 provided, which engages with its piston rod 32 on the air guide flap 29.

Zunächst wird die Luft-Leit-Klappe 29 in die erste Endstellung I verbracht, so daß die gesamte Saugleistung des Radialgebläses 28 auf den hinteren Sauganschluß 19 geschaltet ist. Daraufhin wird ein erster Bogen 33 von der Taktwalze 22 und der mit dieser zusammenwirkenden Bandantriebswalze 11 soweit in Bogentransportrichtung (Pfeil) transportiert, bis die vorauslaufende Kante des Bogens 33 den Sauganschluß 19 überdeckt. Hierdurch wird in dem Bereich der von dem Bogen 33 abgedeckt ist, ein Unterdruck im Saugraum 17 des Saugkastens 18 entsprechend dem Diagramm in Fig. 1 erzeugt. Dieser bewirkt, daß der erste zu transportierende Bogen 33 bereits sicher auf das Transportband 12 angesaugt wird.First, the air guide flap 29 is brought into the first end position I, so that the total suction power of the radial fan 28 switched to the rear suction port 19 is. Thereupon a first sheet 33 of the clock roller 22 and with this interacting belt drive roller 11 so far in the sheet transport direction (arrow) transported until the leading edge of the sheet 33 the suction port 19th covered. As a result, a is covered in the area covered by the sheet 33 Vacuum in the suction chamber 17 of the suction box 18 according to the diagram in FIG. 1 generated. This has the effect that the first sheet 33 to be transported is already safely on the Conveyor belt 12 is sucked.

Der zweite und die weiteren Bögen 33 werden nunmehr von den Transportelementen 11,22 fortlaufend taktweise weitertransportiert, bis ein Förderstrom aus unterschuppt angeordneten Bögen 33 gebildet ist, der den Fördertisch 1 und damit die Öffnungen 12 des Transportbandes 2 vollständig abdeckt. Hierbei ergibt sich ein konstanter Unterdruck im gesamten Saugraum 17 des Saugkastens 18, wie er in dem ; Diagramm der Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Die Stellung der Luft-Leit-Klappe 29 kann hierbei sowohl die erste, als auch die zweite Endstellung I;II einnehmen. Es ist auch möglich, daß stufenlos eine zwischen den Endstellungen beliebige andere Stellung eingestellt wird.The second and the further sheets 33 are now from the Transport elements 11,22 continuously transported in cycles until a flow is formed from shingled arches 33, the conveyor table 1 and thus the Fully covers openings 12 of the conveyor belt 2. This results in a constant negative pressure in the entire suction chamber 17 of the suction box 18, as in the ; Diagram of Figure 2 is shown. The position of the air guide flap 29 can here assume both the first and the second end positions I; II. It is also possible that any other position is continuously set between the end positions.

Vor dem Transport des letzten zu verarbeitenden Bogens 23 wird die Luft-Leit-Klappe 29 in die zweite Endstellung II verbracht. Beim Anschlag des letzten Bogens 33 an den Vordermarken 7, wird die Saugluftquelle abgestellt. Nunmehr kann Umgebungsluft an der Hinterkante des Bogens 33 in den Saugraum 17 des Saugkastens 18 einströmen. Diese bewirkt, daß die Saugkraft auf die Unterseite des Bogens 33 nachläßt und nur noch in einem kleinen Bereich zwischen Sauganschluß 21 und Anfang 34 des Saugkastens 18 wirksam ist. Durch diese Maßnahme läßt sich der Bogen 33 leicht seitlich zur Transportrichtung ausrichten.Before the last sheet 23 to be processed is transported, the air guide flap 29 spent in the second end position II. When the last sheet 33 hits the Front marks 7, the suction air source is turned off. Now ambient air can come on the rear edge of the sheet 33 flow into the suction chamber 17 of the suction box 18. This causes the suction force on the underside of the sheet 33 to decrease and only in a small area between the suction port 21 and the start 34 of the suction box 18th is effective. By this measure, the bow 33 can be easily laterally Align the transport direction.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Saugbänder-Fördertisch (Fig. 5) ist es vorgesehen, den Saugkasten 18 in seinem vorderen Bereich mit einem variabel verstellbaren Saugraum 17 zu versehen. In the suction belt conveyor table according to the invention (FIG. 5) it is provided that the suction box 18 in to provide its front area with a variably adjustable suction chamber 17.

Hierbei ist der Boden des Saugkastens 18 als schwenkbare Klappe 36 ausgebildet, wobei der Schwenkpunkt im Bereich der vorderen Saugöffnung 21 liegt. Eine Länge L der Klappe 36 ist so ausgelegt, daß ein Abstand c zwischen den Vordermarken 7 und dem Ende 37 der Klappe 36 größer ist, als die größte zu verarbeitende Formatlänge des Bogens 33.Here, the bottom of the suction box 18 is designed as a pivotable flap 36, wherein the pivot point is in the area of the front suction opening 21. A length L of Flap 36 is designed so that a distance c between the front marks 7 and End 37 of the flap 36 is larger than the largest format length to be processed Sheet 33.

Ein Abschwenken der Klappe 36 führt zu einer Saugraumvergrößerung im vorderen Bereich und begünstigt die Belüftung des Saugkastens 18 beim Transport des letzten zu verarbeitenden Bogens. Swiveling the flap 36 leads to an increase in the suction space in the front Area and favors the ventilation of the suction box 18 during transportation of the last one processing bow.
