Definitions

  • the invention relates to an object holding clamp. It also relates to a system for hooking, unhooking and tiling such a clamp as well as all handling installations using these devices and these systems.
  • these clamps must meet a certain number of requirements. They must be able to be stored easily, taken from the often fixed storage media to be placed on mobile transfer means and then unhooked again and so on. As will be explained later, they may, during the transfer, undergo at least one tiling operation.
  • an object holding clamp constituting an element ensuring the connection between this object and a support, said clamp comprising an opening through which the support is introduced.
  • This opening ends in a slit and has a profile delimiting on the one hand an area of decreasing value from the slit to the base of the opening, thus authorizing the introduction "on the fly” of the support, and leading to on the other hand to a configuration of the walls, favorable to the sliding of the support after its introduction and until a state of equilibrium is established.
  • This device is made of a material having on the one hand an elasticity capable of creating a spring effect tending to bring in the same plane the two parts of the clamp located on either side of the slot, whatever the constraints to which they are subjected and having on the other hand a coefficient of friction accentuating said sliding.
  • a clamp according to the invention serves as a connection between one or more objects and a storage or transfer means called "support". It can be any object (envelopes, packaging, boxes, cards, etc.). These objects are attached to the clamp by any known means while an opening made in the clamp makes it possible to introduce the support there.
  • such a clamp is essentially characterized by the combination which is made of the choice of the material in which it is made, cooperating with the particular configuration which is given to it to enable it to be detached, hooked and possibly the curling of several clamps, these operations can be carried out under the most difficult conditions, namely in the cases where they must be carried out automatically and on the fly.
  • Such a clamp 1 according to the invention is shown front view in Figure 1 and side view in Figure 2. It is a clamp 1 whose thickness is (e) (visible in Figure 2) and the section of which, seen from the front as shown in FIG. 1, is substantially square, but in fact it could also be arbitrary.
  • an opening 4 is made throughout the thickness of the clamp according to a profile 5 releasing a slot 6 preferably open on the middle of the upper side of the clamp.
  • the profile of this opening is very important: indeed it must contribute to the performance of at least two essential functions. On the one hand, it must delimit an opening large enough to allow a storage or transfer means called "support” to penetrate there easily even if the clamp and this support are animated by a significant relative movement one by relation to the other (operation carried out on the fly). On the other hand it must lead to a configuration of walls facilitating the sliding of the clamp on its support until a state of equilibrium is established.
  • the sides of the triangle constituting the walls of the opening have a slot also adaptable to the application considered and capable of promoting the sliding which has been discussed above.
  • the vertex of the coin-wedge triangle with the slot 6 the cross section of which has a smaller area than that of the support. It defines two parts P 1 and P 2 located on either side of a plane passing, for example, through the XY axis of the slot. Given its presence, the two parts can be offset with respect to this plane in an opposite direction to one another, thus freeing up a free space which facilitates the release of the clamp. However for this to be done correctly and, this is where the nature of the material comes in, it must first present a sufficient coefficient of elasticity.
  • Figure 3rd side view, and Figure 4 side view show an alternative embodiment of a clamp according to the invention as described by means of Figures 1 and 2.
  • the latter in addition to the means defined above (material, profile of the opening and slot), includes bosses 10 capable of serving as a spacer - its in cases where a succession of pliers is used and where a determined distance must be respected between each pliers .
  • Figure 5 and Figure 6 which is a stroke according to FF 1 of Figure 5 show an arrangement of a clamp 1 threaded into a support which is for example a pin, 15 serving as a means of storage or holding during the operations of transfer.
  • a support which is for example a pin, 15 serving as a means of storage or holding during the operations of transfer.
  • These figures illustrate another important function of the slot 6.
  • the pins 15 intended to support a large number of clamps 1 must be correctly supported by a rigid frame 16.
  • a support member 17 for the pin 16 of thickness compatible with the slot 6 of the clamp ensures the connection between the frame and the spindle, without interfering with the racking of the clamp. It can have a bow-shaped part 18 which then ensures, in cooperation with the slot 6, correct centering of the clamp 1.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show an embodiment of a clamp attachment system according to the invention and more particularly of boss clamps as described by means of Figures 3 and 4.
  • Such a system comprises a unitary distributor cooperating with the attachment device itself.
  • the distributor receives the clamps, one behind the other on an inclined spindle 15, and the first clamp comes into abutment on the second guillotine 20, the first guillotine 21 being raised.
  • the first guillotine 21 is lowered between the first and the second clamp which follows it and retains the second clamp while the first clamp is released by raising the second guillotine 20.
  • the alternating movement of the two guillotines ensures the unitary distribution of the clamps, at the desired time.
  • the hooking device "on the fly" proper which receives from the spindle 15, the clamps one by one, is constituted by two ratchet wheels 25 and 26 (toothed wheel) in an exemplary embodiment given here as in no way limiting, on which the clamps abut and then be driven by said wheels. It is a member for pushing the clamps toward a set of stops as is explained more clearly below. These are of different diameters, have the same number of teeth and are wedged on the same axis inclined with respect to the trajectory pins intended to receive the pliers and also relative to the axis of the spindle. They are driven by a "stepping" motor or any other ratchet and indexing system.
  • the profile of the teeth is particular in that it is suitable for the unitary reception of the pliers and consequently of the objects, and in accordance with the invention, in their thrust bearing on abutments (H and G) which form with the axis angle of the spindle less than 90 °.
  • H and G thrust bearing on abutments
  • the pliers resume, by their elasticity, their original shape (edges of the slot, one opposite the other) and are suspended on the drive pin 30.
  • the trajectory of the transfer or handling system is perpendicular to the axis of spindle 15.
  • a logic control member for example, can be provided to prevent the approach of a clamp on its stops (H and G) as long as a free pin is not announced by a proximity detector. The attachment in these conditions is therefore automatic. These means for positioning the pin are not shown in FIGS. 7 and 8.
  • a succession of pliers (a), (b), (c), (d) are stored on the storage spindle 15.
  • the flap 152 is in the low position.
  • the clamp (a), waiting on the small pin 150 is retained in a pre first time by the flap 152.
  • the clamps (b), (c) and (d) are retained by the clamp (a).
  • the flap is actuated and moved to the upper position.
  • the clamp (a) is released, while the clamp (b) descends on the small spindle 150.
  • the flap 152 is then quickly returned to the low position.
  • the clamp (a) is then supported by the attachment device of the type which has been described by means of Figures 7 and 8 and which is symbolized in Figure 12 by an element d one of the ratchet wheels 25.
  • the attachment devices called for the use of a thrust member consisting of two toothed wheels as a means ensuring the thrust of the clamps one by one against the set of stops H and G, cooperating with the stopper J to ensure the correct attachment thereof.
  • FIG. 13 14 and 15 relate to ui. such a system more particularly adapted to the attachment of clamps provided with bosses.
  • Figures 13 14 and 15 relate to ui. such a system more particularly adapted to the attachment of clamps provided with bosses.
  • first guillotine 21 and a second guillotine 200 which, in addition to its guillotine function, can also ensure the thrust of each of the clamps against the stops H, G and J thanks to the particular structure which is given to it and which is represented in FIG. 15, (folded section of this guillotine 200). It presents itself as a double corner which favors the unitary distribution and the advance of the clamps by gravity, also ensuring a secure position of the clamps resting precisely on their stops H and G, an essential condition for the reliability of the latching function.
  • FIG. 16 shows an example of an attachment system without a toothed wheel but more particularly adapted to the attachment of the clamps without bosses.
  • the distributor is of the type which has already been described by means of FIG. 9. It also includes a cascade of pins 15, 150 and 151 as well as a flap 152 actuated by an electromagnet 153.
  • the thrust member of the clamp which is being hooked, against the stops H, G and J is constituted by a rotary fork 80. The latter is driven by a small rotary electromagnet 81 whose movements are synchronized with those of the dispatcher.
  • FIG. 19 is the section along (aa ') of FIG. 18.
  • the aim of this system is to automatically transfer the clamps supporting the objects of the pins 30 in movement in the direction given by the arrow 300 to a fixed receiving pin 15, inclined downwards.
  • This result is obtained by means of a cam 70 having the configuration of a fork.
  • the profile of the latter is such that it slides the clamps on the stud concerned, in the axis thereof, when the receiving pin 15 is located opposite the triangular opening of the clamp. If the cam is kept in a fixed position, each clamp slides on the straight slope of the cam and when the receiving pin 15 is opposite the triangular opening of the clamp, the curvilinear part of the cam 70 abruptly ends the movement. stall.
  • Operational safety can be increased by causing the backward rotation symbolized by the double arrow 71 of the cam at the moment when the spindle is in front of the triangular opening of the clamp being in the process of stalling.
  • a clamp according to the invention is easy to hang on the fly, to unhook automatically even if there is a significant relative movement between the part which supports it and that which must receive it, as has just been explained and illustrated above. .
  • These clamps can also undergo a particularly useful curling operation and even necessary in certain applications calling for a conveying with change of direction. This is the case encountered for example in sorting machines with different levels.
  • the direction of travel of the objects is reversed at each level and the means for hooking the clamps must always move in a vertical plane. It is therefore essential to pass the clamps and the objects they carry one over the other during a rotation of the drive means by 180 °.
  • This operation is defined as being a tiling operation and it is carried out by means of a tiling system according to the invention without any appreciable removal of the objects.
  • a cam 90 concentric with the path of the pins 30 and having a suitable profile makes the clamps pivot (a), (b), (c) carrying their objects (a 1 ), (b 1 ), ( c I ) during part of the rotation so as to impart a slight rotation to them on the stud 30, thus ensuring the curling, that is to say the overlapping of the objects on each other hanging on the clips.
  • FIG 22 in which clearly appears the beginning of overlapping, accentuating the clamps (a), (b), and (c) illustrates this operation.
  • the cam 90 bends its profile to allow the clamps to return to their equilibrium position.
  • this operation is all the easier to carry out when the objects are flatter.
  • a clamp according to the invention is intended to carry all kinds of objects such as envelopes, pockets, cards which are made integral with the clamp either by springs, gluing, stapling, pinching or for that matter any other means suitable for the various forms of packaging.
  • these grippers thanks to suitable detachment, attachment and curling systems, it becomes possible to use them in numerous handling and sorting chains.
  • the clamps carrying their objects, stored on a fixed spindle are removed one by one by a transfer device consisting of a chain provided with supports (pins) capable of receiving the clamps. This chain is driven in movement for example by motorized wheels.
  • a fastening system as described in the present invention ensures the passage of each of the clamps of the storage spindle towards a free stud of the chain.
  • the clamp Upon arrival at the destination, the clamp can be ejected from the pin carrying it by means of a release system according to the invention. If there is a change in level between the point of departure and that of arrival, the clamps and the objects are subjected to the action of a tiling system according to the invention which ensures overlapping on each other objects during this level change.
  • Handling installations of this type can be found in a large number of applications such as, for example, sorting the pockets for shipping photographic works, sorting documents, various objects, or for grouping objects. ..
