Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transporting printed sheets in an installation for the quality control of securities, in particular banknotes, comprising a cylinder and at least one detector placed near the periphery of the cylinder, said cylinder being equipped with at least one clamp bar to grip the front edge of the sheet to be transported.
  • patent FR 1,489,113 describes a method and a device according to which sheets of uncut banknotes are first checked visually to allow the operator to mark defective banknotes, exhibiting color errors or spots . The sheets are then cut into banknotes which pass on a first cylinder in front of detectors monitoring the side of the banknote facing outwards and reacting to the control marks carried by the banknotes, as well as to errors in centering the image. Then, the banknotes are transferred to a second cylinder where detectors control their other side. Defective tickets are automatically withdrawn from the transport chain and replaced by faultless tickets. Finally, an automatic installation allows the controlled tickets to be counted and packaged.
  • the present invention proposes to construct a transport device which guarantees that the sheet perfectly matches the cylinder during its passage in front of the detector system, without risk of damaging the printing recently carried out on the sheets.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing clause of claim 1.
  • the advantage of this device is to allow the printed sheet to marry perfectly, under the action of the calibration blade, the transport cylinder during the entire time it passes near the detector, while avoiding a collision between the blade and the clamps when the latter arrive at the height of said blade.
  • FIG. 1 represents a schematic view of the device with a cylinder provided with a bar of leaf clamps and of the mechanism allowing the leaf to marry the cylinder.
  • FIG. 2 represents the same device adapted to a cylinder with three gripper bars.
  • the transport cylinder 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 rotates in the direction of the curved arrows and is provided with a bar of pliers 2 intended to grip the front edge of a sheet 3 to be examined arriving at the lower part of the cylinder according to the arrow F1, to transport it below a detector 4 provided for inspecting printing defects on the outside of the sheet, for example, the back.
  • the sheet 3 is then transferred, according to arrow F2, on a second transport cylinder, not shown, similar to the first cylinder, for inspection of the other face of the sheet, for example, the front.
  • the transport cylinder 1 is mounted on a central axis, not shown, supported by bearings.
  • This blade 6 is fixed to a lever 9 itself mounted in an articulated manner on a shaft 11 secured to the frame.
  • the lever 9 is connected to a mechanism 5 making it possible to lift the blade 6 from the cylinder 1 intermittently during the passage of the clamps 2 under said blade 6.
  • This mechanism 5 comprises a cam 7 comprising a bulge 7b and which is mounted on an axis 7a whose rotation is synchronized with that of the transport cylinder 1.
  • a follower roller 8 mounted at the free end of the lever 9 is provided to bear against the surface of the cam 7 by means of a return spring 10 working in traction.
  • the distance between the end of the blade 6 and the surface of the cylinder 1 is adjusted by means of an adjustment screw 12 screwed into a tapped hole in an arm 13 itself fixed perpendicular to the lever 9 in the direction opposite to the blade 6.
  • the end 14 of the screw 12 rests in the operating position, under the action of the spring 10, against a stop 15 fixed on the frame.
  • the distance between the calibration blade 6 and the surface of the cylinder 1 is pre-adjusted according to the thickness of the paper.
  • the profile of the cam 7 and the synchronization of the mechanism are such that in the operating position, that is to say when the sheet 3 passes under the detector, the calibration blade 6 is positioned, as described above, in leaf touch position, while during the passage of the clamp bar 2 below the calibration blade 6, the cam 7 with its bulge 7b, causes the lever 9 to tilt around the shaft 11, stretching the spring 10, such as the blade 6 lifts, for example a few millimeters, in the direction of the arrow f, and the end 14 of the screw 12 takes off from the stop 15.
  • the lifting height of the blade 6 is adapted to allow the passage of the clamps without damaging the blade.
  • the duration and the height of the lifting of the blade 6 is defined by the shape of the bulge 7b of the cam 7 cooperating with the follower roller 8, while the operating position of the blade 6 is only defined by adjusting the screw 12 whose end 14 bears, under the action of the spring 10, against the stop 15, and not by the profile of the cam 7 outside the bulge 7b.
  • the part of the cam 7 outside the bulge 7b does not need to have a concentricity which corresponds to the tolerance provided, it is sufficient that this part of the cam does not intervene in the operating position, the follower roller 8 does not even need to touch this part.
  • a suction device formed by rows of holes 18 distributed on the surface of the cylinder and connected to a vacuum which acts only in a sector 17 located in the zone where the detector 4 is located.
  • the blade 6 is provided with a blown air intake hole 19 connected to an internal channel 19a which opens at the tip of the blade, to direct the breath of air against the paper and assist plating it against the cylinder.
  • FIG. 2 is illustrated a second embodiment of the cylinder and the sheet holding mechanism.
  • the cylinder 21 is equipped with three clamp bars 22, distributed equidistantly around the periphery of the cylinder which comprises three sectors intended to each support a sheet.
  • the sheet holding mechanism 5 is the same as in the first embodiment and has the same elements, apart from the cam 27 which has a different shape suitable for lifting the blade 6 intermittently three times during a rotation of the transport cylinder 21, that is to say during the passage of each of the gripper bars 22 under the blade 6.
  • the cam 27 is provided with three equal bulges 27a which cause the blade to tilt 6.
