Definitions

  • the invention relates to instruments and mechanical methods: for placing particular articles in a particular manner or with reference to a particular support for stacking or piling articles or materials; adapted to arrange articles in special relation to each other in a pile or stack.
  • the invention concerns a device for depositing leaf or sheet or tabular material, especially veneer sheets, from a conveyor belt onto a reception surface set up at a predetermined distance below the conveyor belt, in which the material is held to the lower side of an endless conveying device by means of a vacuum and is released by a pressure lever from the endless conveying device above the reception surface.
  • the invention proceeds from the realization that in depositing leaf, sheet or tabular material from a conveyor belt under the influence of suction to a reception surface located at a distance below it, it is of decisive importance that on the one hand there be the possibility of holding the sheet or similarly shaped material according to its individual weight ⁇ with sufficient adhesion to the lower side of the conveyor belt, but that on the other hand the adhesion be so limited that at the desired instant the sheet can be released quickly and safely, and that at the same time care must be taken that after being released by a pressure lever, the sheet or similar material has no opportunity to glide, i.e., to move aside in an uncontrolled or arbitrary manner before it comes firmly to rest on the reception surface.
  • Another task of the invention consists in taking care that the sheets, after having been pressed off from the conveyor belt, arrive reliably by a predetermined path to a predetermined place of the reception surface without it being possible for them to shift sidewards under the influence of the dynamic air pressure present under the sheets.
  • Another goal of the present invention is to take care that the sheets or similar materials be acted upon in the most protective manner possible when they are pushed downwards from the conveyor belt.
  • Another task of the invention is to create a possibility of stacking in common varying sheets of material which, in spite of differing length, supplement each other at least groupwise with respect to a certain dimension in such a way that in spite of different sheet length, the stack will uniformly show the same height increase at all points.
  • a task of the invention consists in taking care that very short sheets of material of arbitrarily differing length are collected, before deposition upon the reception surface, into a group of predetermined length and are transferred in common, as a group, to the stack or the reception surface.
  • the invention provides for a process for the depositing of leaf or sheet material, particularly veneer sheets, from a conveyor belt onto a reception surface set up at a predetermined distance below the conveyor track, in which process the material is held to the lower side of an endless conveying device by means of a vacuum and is released by a pressure lever from the endless conveying device above the reception surface.
  • the material is sucked to the conveyor belt only in a few closely defined zones, being narrow in comparison to the width of the material, located at opposed intervals and consisting of appropriately narrow suction areas.
  • the narrow conveyor belts are coordinated with the suction areas.
  • the veneer while being pushed off from the conveyor track, is forcibly conducted to the fixed rest upon the reception surface.
  • Another considerable advantage of the procedure according to the invention consists in the fact that pushing the sheet off from the conveyor belt is necessary only at the few closely defined points of the setup in which the vacuum zones are located.
  • the push-off elements to be moved for mechanically pushing the sheet off from the conveyor track are thus few in number, so that the moved mass is small as well, and very quick moving of the push-oft ⁇ elements becomes possible.
  • these elements must be accelerated from an at-rest position to the push-off velocity, so that the mass of these parts plays a very considerable part.
  • the quick acceleration and the small weight of the push-off elements have the additional advantage that the push-off elements can be moved so rapidly that relative motion between the sheets and the downward-moving pushot ⁇ f elements practically cannot occur, although the push-off elements act upon the material only at a few limited points far apart from each other.
  • the push-off elements act upon the material only at a few limited points far apart from each other.
  • dynamic air pressure is built up below the sheets. This pressure presses the sheet firmly against the push-off elements so that forcible transmission of the sheets until deposition upon the reception surface is attained with the aid of the push-off elements.
  • the push-off elements do indeed press the sheets down until contact with the reception surface, so that shifting of the sheets and thus a. gliding cannot take place.
  • the invention provides for an installation with a conveyor track formed by at least one suction box and an endless conveyor device conducted along its lower side, a deposition surface at a predetermined distance below the conveyor belt, a device pushing off the material downwards from the conveyor track and a feeler device coordinated with the conveyor track and reacting to the material when it reaches a predetermined position; in the installation each suction box, continuously connected with a suction source, has on its lower side a small number of suction zones, narrow in comparison to the width of the material and at opposed intervals arranged closely to the longitudinal sides of the box; appropriately narrow conveyor belts, set up at opposed intervals, pass along the suction zones.
  • the push-olf device has pushers only at the longitudinal sides of the box.

  • the new device can in the rst place serve for the collection of equally long sheets or of sheets differing in length in a certain manner, in stacks. Secondly, the new device can also be employed within a continuous conveyor to reject certain sheets from this conveyor to another conveyor or to a supporting surface; here the device plays the part of a switch.
  • FIGURES 1 and 2 represent the basic design of the device according to the invention which is suitable for the version of the process according to the invention.
  • the ⁇ sheets of material 12 according to FIGURES 1 and 2 may be sheets, panels or foil of any kind. It is assumed that we are dealing with veneer sheets of equal length which are conveyed with the aid of supply conveyor 11 in the direction of arrow 15, for example from a cutter or a veneer drier or a measurement stretch.
  • the device according to FIGURE l has a collecting table 10 which is adjustable in height, especially stepwise for the automatic adaptation to the increase in height of veneer stack 12.
  • table 10 the uppermost surface of the Stack can always and automatically be kept at a predetermined distance from the lower side of the conveyor belt, independently of the increasing height of the stack.
  • a pneumatic depositing device is set up above collecting table 10.
  • This device consists of a suction box 1 to which suction fan 2 is attached.
  • An endless conveyor device 3 is conducted around suction box 1 via appropriate guide rolls 13, one of which as is indicated at 4, is a driven one.
  • the endless conveyor device 3 is conducted around suction box in such a way that its lower strip 3a runs on the suction side of suction box 1.
  • endless conveyor device 3 consists of a few, preferably two conveyor belts 3b, 3c, narrow in comparison to the conveying width and moving in the same direction at opposite sides of the width.
  • These conveyor belts can be perforated, running flush with the appropriately narrow suction zone at the lower side of the suction box, or they can be impermeable in which case the narrow suction zones are located directly beside the conveyor belts.
  • Veneer sheets 14 are pressed against the lower side of conveyor belts 3b, 3c by the section effect of suction box 1, and are securely carried along by them.
  • the effective suction areas of the suction box are closely limited narrow zones lying in the area of the conveyor belts. It is essential that the areas of attachment at the endless conveyor device and the suction zones lie close together, and that they be very small in comparison to the veneer width and be at a correspondingly large distance from one another. It is expedient that the conveyor belts always be exposed to the suction effect, so that they themselves are also held against the suction surface of the suction box.
  • an insert body S is provided for the suction box; due to its design, it ensures that the suction effect is restricted to narrow zones in the area of the longitudinal sides of suction box 1.
  • the endless conveyor device is continuously driven.
  • the sheet ⁇ be released from endless conveyor device 3 in a predetermined position and uniformly over its entire surface; this presents considerable difficulties in the case of extensive sheets or foils, especially for materials with inherent tension as in the case of veneer sheets.
  • the instant of release can be easily established by the sensing of the front edge of the veneer sheet in the known manner with the aid of an impact feeler 9 or a photoelectric feeler.
  • a mechanical release device which in the represented example, has two elongated release rails 7 which are held in a rest or initial position at the sides of suction box 1 in the immediate vicinity of the endless conveyor devices 3b, 3c above the veneer sheets 14.
  • This release device is controllable by feeler 9.
  • the release rails can be moved essentially parallel to the endless 'belts with the aid of a release lever system which can be actuated by means of a driving device, for example by pneumatic cylinder 8.
  • release rails 7 are supported with the aid of angle levers 6, 16, which are connected with each other via a guide rod 17 in such a way that they are synchronously swingable around their pivot bearings 16a, 6a.
  • the release device is thus so constructed that with the aid of the angle arms the rails are moved not only perpendicularly downwards but also simultaneously in the direction of the arrow in the direction of movement of the conveyor. This is of considerable importance in order to avoid relative motion between the rails and the sheets pressed off them during the pressing off operation.
  • the moton of the rails can also be controlled by a predetermined guide curve.
  • the device is so constructed that stack table 10 is always kept at such a level that the uppermost sheet of stack 12 is at such a distance that release rails 7 make contact with the upper side of stack 12 in the lowered or lowest position.
  • This is accomplished by means selected from conventional mechanical equipment, sensing the spacing from deposit to deposit and by the sensors output controlling levers x, y by electric motor or hydraulic means.
  • the sensor may be a mechanically operated scale determining the spacing between suction box and stacking by being brought into contact from one to another, or photocell scanning or equivalent other means may be employed instead. It is thus made certain that the sheet is transferred forcibly to the upper side of stack 12.
  • the mass of the release device to be moved with the aid of activating device 8 is small, so that extremely rapid movements can be obtained at small energy expenditure.
  • the rapid motion of rails 7 during the release process makes certain that the air cushion being formed between the sheet to be pressed off and the stack or reception surface underneath it, presses the sheets firmly against the rails, so that when the rails 7 move, the sheets are guided forcibly and without the possibility of relative shifting.
  • angle arms 6 and 16 may also be telescopically yielding elements which yield elastically upon impact. This is shown in FIGURE 13. Rod 6c telescopes into tube 6b, while conventional means is provided to make relative motion between them elastic.
  • suction boxes 22, 23, 24, 25 can be set up separately along the width of a conveyor, two conveyor belts 26, 29 as well as two release elements 20, 20 being coordinated to each of them.
  • the release elements can be activated all together or in a certain groupwise selection by means of feeler 27 or 27a.
  • the lowerable Vor raisable stack table is indicated by 21.
  • each device of arbitrary conveying width and arbitrary length of the depositing station consisting of construction units can in each case be composed of one suction box with corresponding release elements and corresponding conveyor belts, here it is advantageous that the conveyor belts of consecutively set up suction boxes are formed by common conveyor belts.
  • supply feeler 45 forms a length-measurement stretch. If release feeler 46 is activated before supply feeler 45 is released by the same veneer section, a veneer sheet l with the large length b is present. Feeler 46 does not respond. The program switch device controls this action. The veneer moves on to the second release feeler 47. Since the length measurement device has measured a long sheet, in lengthmeasurement device 50 a circuit is prepared which prepares the activation of the two pressure-agent cylinders 42 and 43 by release feeler 47. The long sheet l is thus deposited onto the stack by both release devices 40 and 41 in common.
  • length measurement device 50 records the presence of a short veneer section a and prepares a circuit according to which only one of the two release devices 40, 41 can can be activated, and thus only via program switch device 51.

  • veneer strips occur during peeling which are larger than the above-mentioned strips, but do not have suiiicient length to be cut to predetermined measures. These strips are securely held by the vacuum at conveyor belts 66.
