Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for aligning arcuate elements according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device which feeds the sheet precisely aligned to a sheet-processing machine.
  • the device has for this purpose a suction bar, which can suck a respective sheet and thus hold.
  • the suction bar can be adjusted by motor in three degrees of freedom in the alignment plane and thus bring about alignment of a respective arc: an orientation in the circumferential direction, an orientation transverse to the circumferential direction and a rotational movement in the alignment plane.
  • a disadvantage of this device is that no adjustment of the suction strip is provided to the sheet format. If not all suction openings of the squeegee covered by a respective arc, so the suction pressure can collapse and the function of the squeegee be repealed.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for aligning, which at least reduces the disadvantages of the prior art and allows a simple and automatable change of a contact element.
  • the device according to the invention is used to align arcuate elements in a plane (alignment plane) with a movable in at least two degrees of freedom (in or parallel to the alignment plane) variable contact element, which contacts and holds the arcuate elements during their alignment, and with at least two controllable drives for Moving the contact element in the plane.
  • the variable contact element has at least one switch with at least two switching positions and a counter element associated with a respective switch.
  • the at least one switch and the at least one counter element are each engageable with each other by means of the controllable drives in mechanical engagement for adjusting the at least one switch.
  • an actuation or adjustment of the switch can take place by a movement of the contact element with the switch by means of the drives. This results from the relative movement of the switch and counter element.
  • This solution has the advantage that no additional actuator is required for the change of the contact element, that no heavy mechanical or electronic components must be mounted on the contact element and that the change of the contact element requires no intervention of the machine operator.
  • the drives are controlled such that the contact element with the at least one switch to a respective counter element undeliverable and after mechanical engagement of switch and counter element, the contact element is movable relative to the counter element for adjusting the switch , That is, the adjustment of the switch is effected by targeted movement of the contact element by appropriate control of the at least two controllable drives.
  • the at least one switch and the at least one counter-element are in engagement can be actuated or adjusted by a movement of the contact element with the switch attached thereto by means of the drives Switch done. This results from the relative movement of the switch and counter element.
  • the at least one switch can be designed as a rotary switch, toggle switch or slide switch.
  • the at least one counter element can in particular be fixed to the frame.
  • the at least two degrees of freedom of the contact element comprise a mobility in a circumferential direction, transversely to the circumferential direction and optionally additionally a rotational mobility in the plane.
  • the at least one switch and a respective counter element have complementary profiled surfaces, which are toothed, for example.
  • the switch can be designed as a rotary switch with an external toothing and the counter element as a rack.
  • a respective switching position of the switch is associated with a specific format of the arcuate elements, that is, by adjusting the switch, a format adaptation of the contact element can be made.
  • the contact element can be embodied as a suction bar or as a suction plate and an adjustment of the at least one switch can bring about an adaptation of the suction area, in particular for adaptation to the format of the arched elements.
  • the at least one switch is designed as a rotary valve and the suction bar or the suction plate has a plurality of suction openings, which are continued in suction channels, ie the suction openings each sit at the end of a suction channel.
  • the rotary valve connects one or more suction channels to a vacuum source and at a respective suction opening, a negative pressure is thereby provided.
  • FIG. 1 shows in a view from below an alignment device 10, which is arranged in the transport direction T between a feeder 20 and a sheet-processing machine 30 is arranged.
  • the alignment device 10 is one of the investor 20 incoming sheet 100 is taken, aligned and passed to gripper 31 of the sheet-processing machine 30.
  • the alignment device 10 has a contact element 2, which in the embodiment according to FIG. 1 is designed as a suction plate.
  • the contact element 2 is constructed symmetrically to a central axis, wherein in FIG. 1 only one half is shown.
  • the contact element 2 can be moved by three drives 1 in its degrees of freedom 5 to the first in the circumferential direction, ie in the transport direction T, the second transverse to the circumferential direction T and the third by rotation in the alignment plane, whereby a respective sheet 100 can be aligned.
  • the contact element 2 has for this purpose a plurality of suction openings 9, via which a negative pressure is provided and whereby a respective sheet 100 is sucked and held on the contact element 2.
  • the held sheet 100 can be aligned by an alignment movement of the contact element 2.
  • individual suction openings 9 can be switched on (and later switched off again).
  • the two internal suction openings 9 are permanently connected via suction channels 8 to the negative pressure inlet 14, so that a negative pressure permanently acts on these suction openings 9.
  • the additional three suction openings 9 can be connected via a switch 3. This is done by a rotational movement v of the switch 3.
  • the switch 3 is designed as a rotary valve, which allows a connection of the vacuum inlet 14 with additional suction channels 8.
  • the knob 3 may be made of plastic to achieve a good sealing effect with good wear and friction properties.
  • the alignment device 10 has a counter-element 4, which is connected to the machine frame 7 and thus executed fixed to the frame.
  • the switch 3 and the counter element 4 are spaced from each other and do not come into contact with each other.
  • the switch 3 and the Counter element 4 brought into mechanical engagement with each other by a feed movement, which can be achieved for example by a running of the drives 1 movement of the contact element 2.
  • the contact element 2 can be moved by the drives 1 essentially transversely to the transport direction T.
  • an alignment v of the switch 3 relative to the stationary counter element 4 can be effected by an alignment movement of the contact element 2 substantially in the sheet transport direction T. Due to the rotational movement of the switch 3, the rotary valve of the switch 3 can be adjusted such that a further suction channel 8 is connected to the vacuum inlet 14.
  • the switch 3 may be provided with an outer toothing 6 and the counter element 4 may be designed as a rack.
  • the switch 3 is designed as a slide switch with a rack and the counter element 4 as connected to the machine frame 7 gear or also as a rack. If several suction channels 8 and thus several suction openings 9 are activated and a large displacement of the contact element 2 is required, the contact element 2 can perform several strokes. In this case - based on the aforementioned embodiment - the subsequent stroke always offset by an integer multiple of the tooth pitch of the rack offset to ensure a clean meshing of the teeth of the gear and rack.
  • the switch 3 may further comprise a latching device (not shown here), which may consist of a bent spring plate, which engages in grooves or depressions on the toothing 6 of the switch 3. These grooves or recesses are each assigned switch positions of the switch 3, so that a once set position of the switch 3 is maintained until the next adjustment, even if the contact element 2 during operation vibrations, d. H. Experiences vibrations.
  • a latching device (not shown here), which may consist of a bent spring plate, which engages in grooves or depressions on the toothing 6 of the switch 3.
  • the switch 3 have a profiled surface 6, which is designed as a helical gear non-circular.
  • the sensor 15 can be embodied, for example, as an inductive or capacitive proximity sensor, which detects an incorporated into the surface of the switch 3 iron-metallic component and thus can detect a reference position of the rotary switch 3.
  • FIG. 3a is in a top view and in FIG. 3b illustrated in a view how a collision in the event of a malfunction of one of the drives 1 of the contact element 2 with the counter element 4 can be prevented.
  • stops 12 are provided, which indeed allow a method of the contact element 2 for the alignment of sheets 100, but block a beyond going larger traversing range.
  • These stops 12 are each adjustable by actuators 13, can be pivoted, for example, by pneumatic cylinder 13, and release in their inactive position a larger travel range. Switch 3 and counter element 4 can then be brought into engagement with one another in this larger travel range and, as stated above, an adjustment of the switch 3 can take place by relative movement of switch 3 and counter element 4.
