Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying and simultaneous Alignment of sheet material, in particular of paper, cardboard or films, with a straightedge, and with at least one, in sheet travel direction slightly inclined to Directional ruler arranged arranged, conveyor belt and an air intake.
  • Such a device for conveying and simultaneously aligning arcuate material is known from DE 34 10 029. That against the directive ruler Slightly inclined conveyor belt is doing with a variety of openings provided, which are arranged via a suction channel open to the openings. The placed on the conveyor belt-shaped material is generated by the Suction held on the conveyor belt and transported to the straightedge to it for to precisely align the subsequent processing steps. As a result of However, suction in this case is especially for very thin, soft materials the risk that the sheet material is held too tight on the conveyor, so that it can not be precisely aligned and wrinkles in the area between Guideline and conveyor belt can form.
  • the transverse bow is already through the Suction effect in the suction holes located on the outside in the conveyor belt or on the conveyor belt slowed down longitudinal suction slots and therefore requires a longer Guidance path for alignment, resulting in increased space requirements and engineering higher expenses are conditional.
  • the transverse grooves ensure a uniform distribution of the suction over the entire surface of the conveyor belt which promotes the sheet.
  • the leadership of the conveyor belt in the upwardly open guide channel is designed in such a way that the tops of the guide channel and conveyor belt are at about the same height. This ensures an exact contact surface for the sheet to be conveyed and aligned, so that they can easily join in the relative displacements required for aligning.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a device of the aforementioned Form such a way that a secure alignment of longitudinally or transversely fed arched material of various grammages and dimensions is guaranteed and experience-dependent operating measures, time-consuming Cleaning and the risk of damage to the sheet material be avoided.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that control means are provided for controlling the air supply in the region of the transverse grooves.
  • the air flow in the region of the transverse grooves is responsible for the force with which an arc resting on the conveyor belt is tightened and held. Due to the large number of different bows, which must be handled by a generic device, but this force is different.
  • the required holding force of a large-size, multiple-folded sheet having a grammage of 300 g / m 2 differs considerably from that of a single, smaller sheet having a weight of 28 g / m 2 .
  • the control means at least one throttle valve, which in the intake of the Air supply controls the air supply in front of the transverse grooves.
  • the air is here by a Throttle gap under a cover plate led to the conveyor belt. Because of that Air supply from the environment through the throttle gap and the relatively narrow gap between cover plate and carrier is obstructed, more air is extracted than can flow. Due to this, u.a. in the transverse grooves, that of the bow are covered, a negative pressure, which depends on the width of the throttle gap. To this Way can be taken very precise influence on the air supply in the area of the transverse grooves become. By throttling the air supply is thus increasingly the Increased negative pressure, so that even heavy bows can be handled safely.
  • the control means at least a bypass flap which opens a bypass or closes, by the ambient air bypassing the region of the transverse grooves is sucked to a fan of the air intake.
  • the control means at least an electronic control
  • the The power of the air intake device as a function of characteristics of the sheet drives, in particular by regulating the speed of the fan of the air intake.
  • the speed of the fan of the air intake can also Influence on the air supply in the area of the transverse grooves are taken.
  • the electronic control also controls the opening state of Throttle and / or the bypass flap. This gives the controller three different control mechanisms are available, which in combination the desired coverage of the entire required range of different arc enable.
  • the inventive device in the electronic control a control rule for the control of the rest Control means deposited, the control regulation in particular on empirical Data is based.
  • the controller has a memory in which these Control regulation is stored. It can either be a Lookup table or an algorithm that consists of different Parameter determines the optimal air supply for a corresponding arc, or one other, known in the art, control regulation. This will give the operator possibly cumbersome and time-consuming settings when switching from Products easier.
  • the control regulation can be self-learning be.
  • this inventive device controls the Control regulation based on values that can be entered on the electronic control in terms of grammage and format of the sheets the remaining control means.
  • these are the only values required by an operator at one Input operator interface to the controller to allow the control policy to determine the ideal air supply in the area of the transverse grooves. This will be the Operation of the device particularly simple, especially because these parameters typically always known. It can also be provided that for Parameter pairings fixed control instructions already stored in the controller and / or can be stored in order to make them comfortable when the parameter pairings recur reuse, which speeds up the entry of parameters even further can. Alternatively or additionally, it is also possible to provide sensors which have some or some of them determine all of these parameters.
  • control regulation additionally takes into account at least one of the following Parameters for controlling the other control means: static charge of the arc, Condition of the printing ink, roughness of the bow surface, amount of a powder out of the Printing process, sheet width, fiber direction like long web and narrow web of the sheet, Bow speed, distance from bow to bow, suction length of the suction wheel on Investors.
  • This can further improve the setting to achieve a ideal air supply can be achieved in the transverse grooves.
  • certain, e.g. recurring parameter pairings in the controller to be made available, for example in a store.
  • this inventive device is the Top of the guide channel at substantially the same height with the top of the Conveyor belt.
  • the suction air duct behind the transverse grooves so far that he thereby a possible has low flow resistance.
  • the air flows with as little loss as possible through the device, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device and the processes in the area of the transverse grooves are better controllable.
  • Air suction device including the blower for the purpose of format adjustment traversable.
  • this inventive device is in the conveyor belt to a toothed belt, the timing belt in particular above having rounded teeth.
  • the air intake device 100 has an air duct 20 which is such that from the fan 25 via the first suction chamber 26, the intake manifold 29 and the second suction chamber 27 air (indicated by the arrows with the reference numerals 5 and 10) through the transverse grooves 23 of the toothed belt 40 is sucked (Fig. 1 to 3).
  • the timing belt 40 is open at the top, that is, when no sheet 1, 2, 3 rests, the air is sucked from the environment directly on the suction slot 30.
  • the negative pressure which sets in the transverse grooves 23 of the toothed belt 40 and thus determines the pressing force F P now depends primarily on the power of the blower 25 and the pressure drop P V , in this case in the first line by the width of the throttle gap 21 is determined. There is also a small contribution to the negative pressure due to the dynamic proportion ⁇ / 2 * U 2 .
  • the air duct 20 is designed so that the air after flowing through the transverse grooves 23 of the Timing belt 40 can flow as low loss. This is achieved by the fact that the Inlet 29 have the largest possible inner diameter and also the Suction chambers 26, 27. The diameters are limited by the existing Installation spaces.
  • This bypass opening 28 causes movement of the Bypass throttle 32 in the direction indicated by the double arrow P3 that the Blower 25 despite high speeds only little air from the range of the toothed belt 40th sucks and sucks most of the air directly through the bypass port 28, depending on Size of the still uncovered bypass opening 28.
  • the present construction also gives the possibility of the air duct 20 in three To be able to subdivide areas in which the negative pressures are different. This is achieved by the fact that the cross sections of the intake manifold 29 at a suitable location z. B. to be changed by throttle plates, not shown. Another subdivision into two or more areas is also conceivable.
  • the toothed belt 40 has teeth 42 with a rounded surface 44.
  • the bearing surface of the sheet 1, 2, 3 is reduced on the timing belt 40, and correspondingly the area over which the negative pressure on the sheet 1, 2, 3 attacks, increases.
  • the contact with the arch is more gentle due to the curves than would be the case with sharp-edged corners.
  • the toothed belt pulley 45 rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow P2 drives the toothed belt 40, so that a running direction of the sheets 1, 2, 3 moves from an upstream feeder, not shown, to a downstream one (not shown) Folder results.
  • the toothed belt 40 is guided by deflection rollers 46, 47, the tension roller 48 and the toothed belt groove in the carrier.
  • the toothed belt groove is such that the teeth end up flush with the support surface. If the air intake device 100 is in operation, the vacuum-loaded toothed belt 40 takes over the sheet 1, 2, 3 from the feeder and transfers it to the folding unit after passing through the alignment line.
  • a plurality of sheets 1, 2, 3 shown by the ruler 50 side be aligned.
  • the sheets 1, 2, 3 have a direction of movement with the arrow P4 is marked, and with the direction of the toothed belt 40th matches.
  • the ruler 50 With the ruler 50 at right angles to the following folder stands and the timing belt 40 is guided at an angle to the ruler 50, the moves Sheet 1, 2, 3 straight to the ruler 50 to.
  • the sheet 1, 2, 3, the ruler 50th touched there is a relative movement between the sheet 1, 2, 3 and the timing belt 40 perpendicular to the sheet run.
  • the sheet 1, 2, 3 depends on the ruler 50 and is thus aligned to the folding unit in a direction of movement, which now parallel to the ruler 50 and is marked with arrow P5 in Fig. 5, passed.
  • the control means throttle 31 and bypass throttle 32 are controlled by a controller 33 controlled.
  • This controller 33 also controls the speed of the fan 25.
  • Die Control quantities for this purpose are from the controller 33 via look-up tables for looked at different parameters or by a suitable algorithm Reason the different parameters calculated or other, comparable, the Detected specialist known methods.
  • the parameters are in particular around the grammage of the sheet 1, 2, 3, the width of the sheet 1, 2, 3, the static Charge of the sheet 1, 2, 3, the state of the ink, the roughness of the Arc surface, the amount of powder from the printing process, the grain direction Wide lane and narrow lane of the arch 1, 2, 3, the bow speed, the distance from sheet 1, 2, 3 to sheet 1, 2, 3 and the suction length through the suction wheel at the bow is generated, this list is not exhaustive.
