Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for aligning a stack of flat objects lying on a support surface, in particular a paper stack or a stack of unoriented superimposed printed products according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out such a method.
  • Alignment of stacks of flat articles is required, for example, to prepare for automated packaging of the corresponding stacks into cartons (e.g., in slip-on cartons).
  • An insufficiently aligned stack would lead to disruptions in the subsequent packaging process.
  • counterstampers a sufficiently accurate alignment of the stack is usually not guaranteed, especially since the stack forming objects even when transported on conveyor belts between individual processing stations - due to acceleration and deceleration processes - can move against each other.
  • the stack is placed in a cassette in a neither horizontal nor vertical position - typically it is a 45 ° position - so that the stack with two of its side surfaces rests simultaneously and alignment of the stack by pushing these pages is possible. The actual alignment is then ultimately caused by a shaking or vibrating motion.
  • the jogging process may take a long time (typically a few seconds), so that timing problems may occur in a fully automated paperboard processing line with predetermined cycle times.
  • Too much jarring can damage the often freshly printed and very delicate butt sides of printed products.
  • jogger concepts are hardly suitable for aligning stacks consisting of several printed product individual stacks, e.g. for aligning two stacks of DIN A5 leaflets that form a stack of A4-size paper to be wrapped next to each other.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for aligning stacks of the type mentioned above in which a reliable, gentle, fast and flexible alignment which is easily adaptable to different paper formats is also possible without the 45 ° positioning required by a mother.
  • the stack is exposed at least temporarily to an acceleration with a component pointing downwards in the direction of gravity.
  • the forces required for the alignment of the stacked products are also reduced.
  • the forces required in this case are no longer dependent on the weight of the stack located above the product to be aligned, so that according to the invention relatively high and / or heavy stacks can be aligned without damaging the individual elements.
  • acceleration values in the range of the simple acceleration of gravity are preferred, whereby even at lower accelerations, a positive effect is achieved.
  • the acceleration is preferably linear down.
  • the accelerated lowering movement is preferably over a vertical distance which is at least greater than the stack height.
  • the required travel depends on how much time is needed in the quasi "weightless" state for the alignment of the stack. Typical travels are in the range of at least about 40 cm to 200 cm.
  • the movement in the context of the present invention takes place over a longer travel distance and with constant acceleration during the alignment process, i. in particular not oscillating, as is characteristic of a vibrator.
  • the lowering movement again compensating lifting movement (alternatively, it is also conceivable that the stack is further processed directly from the lowered position).
  • the alignment process i. the approach of the stops to the side surfaces of the stack is correlated with the lowering movement.
  • the single FIGURE shows an embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • An unoriented stack 10 of printed products is fed to the device via a conveyor belt 12 in the x-direction (see arrow).
  • the conveyor belt 12 brings the stack 10 into the position shown in the figure, detected by means of (not shown) light barriers and stops there first.
  • the stack 10 is formed in the embodiment of two juxtaposed individual stacks 10a, 10b of printed products.
  • stacks formed from a single stack or stacks formed from a plurality of individual stacks may also be processed.
  • the device is suitable for aligning single-leaf stacks.
  • the device is designed to align the side surfaces 22a-d of the stack 10 on all sides. This is done by four stops 18a, b and 20a, b, which are each formed as vertically extending angle profiles.
  • the stops 18a, b and 20a, b can be moved by means of two servo drive motors 14a, b via spindle drives not shown in detail in the x and y directions.
  • a first servo-drive motor 14a causes a movement of the stops 18a, b and 20a, b in the x-direction in opposite directions to each other or away from each other.
  • a second servo-drive motor 14b effects an opposite movement of the stops 18a, b and 20a, b in the y-direction. Due to the separate control in the x and y direction, the device can be adapted to different stack formats only by programming the programmable controller controlling the device. If only stacks with a given aspect ratio are to be aligned, the drive in the x and y directions can alternatively be effected by a common servomotor (not shown).
  • the stops 18a, b and 20a, b are shown in the figure in an initial position in which the stops the transport of the stack 10 by means of the conveyor belt 12 does not hinder. To perform the alignment, the stops 18a, b, and 20a, b are moved towards each other. Simultaneously with the movement of the stops 18a, b and 20a, b, the entire device is rapidly lowered together with the conveyor belt 12 and the stops 18a, b and 20a, b via a drive 16 in the vertical z-direction.
  • the lowering movement takes place via a further servomotor, which is controlled in such a way that temporarily results in an acceleration acting in the downward direction of about 1 g .
  • This alignment ultimately takes place by moving the stops 18a, b and 20a, b towards each other until a predetermined end position is reached, which is defined by the desired dimensions of the stack 10 in the aligned state.
  • the movement of the stops 18a, b and 20a, b is coordinated with the vertical movement in the z-direction such that the stops already reach their end position before the acceleration in the z-direction decreases significantly. Since the travel in the z-direction is not very long in the exemplary embodiment, it is necessary to move from the acceleration to a braking phase after a relatively short time. The attacks are accordingly in the embodiment also relatively quickly - preferably within a period of less than 500 ms - closed.
  • the stops are first approached by a certain distance to the sides 22a-d of the stack 10 and the acceleration in the z-direction only then started is when an actual contact of the stack by the stops 18a, b and 20a, b is expected.
  • the limited acceleration distance in the z direction can be optimally utilized.
  • the movement in the z-direction is braked down and the device is then moved back up when abutting the stack 10 stops 18a, b and 20a, b.
  • the now aligned stack may e.g. be further processed immediately by slipping over a cardboard part or transported further for further processing.
