Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of waste removing machines, in particular to a waste removing device and a conveying method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The waste edge cleaning of printed products in the printing and packaging industry is called waste removing, which is a necessary procedure for the edge forming process of printed products. The emergence of waste removing machines has replaced manual hammer waste removing, not only reducing labor intensity, but also improving work efficiency.

[0003] At present, Japanese equipment uses two sets of top pins to complete the waste removing work of printed products. The number of top pins required is quite large, the production of finished products is huge, and the accuracy of the equipment is high, the fault tolerance is low, the installation steps of the top pins are too complicated, and the replacement is quite difficult, which takes half a day to install. The push pin position is controlled by a baffle, and the top pin of the Japanese equipment needs to be pushed from top to bottom. Since the waste removing machine often stacks a large number of printed products at a time, the top pin needs to bear a large force, so it is not possible to use a top pin with a small diameter. However, in order to save the layout space of printed products, generally only 2-3mm of waste edge is reserved after die cutting of printed products, and a large diameter top pin is easy to press the printed product and the waste edge, which causes the printed product and the waste edge to be unable to separate smoothly or the printed product and the waste edge to be unable to separate completely. If a top pin of a corresponding size is used for the waste edge of this size, the load of the top pin will be too large and the top pin will be bent and deformed. If the number of printed products stacked is reduced to reduce the load of the top pin, it will make the worker stack the printed products more frequently, which not only greatly increases the labor intensity of the worker, but also greatly reduces the waste removing efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a structure that can automatically transport printed products to the waste removing station and automatically send the waste edge away from the waste removing station.

[0004] At present, the conveyor belt is the most suitable for carrying and conveying goods. However, the traditional conveyor belt has a ring structure, which drives the conveyor belt to rotate by using main and auxiliary drive rollers. Although the conveyor belt can realize automatic conveying of printed products, the lower top pin needs to be lifted to lift the printed product, which makes it impossible to directly set the lower top pin in the conveyor belt. If the traditional conveyor belt is used, the length of the lower top pin needs to be higher than the distance between the upper belt and the lower belt of the conveyor belt to completely pass through the conveyor belt. However, the length of the lower top pin is too long, which greatly reduces the load capacity and easily causes the lower top pin to bend and deform when lifting the printed product. Therefore, the traditional conveyor belt is not suitable for the upper and lower top pin waste removing equipment.

[0005] In addition, the conveyor belt cannot guarantee accurate transmission ratio, and the conveyor belt is prone to slack under long-time work, thereby generating errors. The conveyor belt cannot accurately convey the printed products to the corresponding position, which easily causes the top pin to be unable to align with the waste edge of the printed product, thereby causing the waste edge to be unable to completely separate from the printed product.

[0051]

[0052] Table 4:

[0053]

[0054] As shown in Table 5, the upper ejector pin with an outer diameter of 3 mm and a length of 85 mm has a limit load of 3.01 KN, can penetrate a paper stack with a thickness of 75 mm, and is suitable for waste removal work for a stack of printed products < 125 sheets.

[0060] Table 7:

[0061]

[0062] Table 8:

[0063]

[0064] As can be seen from the above, the embodiment can meet the waste removal work for a waste edge of 2-3 mm, make the waste edge of the printed product thinner, greatly save the layout space and material, and the ejector pins of different specifications can meet the waste removal work for a certain number of stacks, and the sheet-shaped belt continuously automatically conveys the printed products of a certain number of stacks to the waste removal work, without manual manual placement in the waste removal machine, greatly improving the waste removal efficiency, and a small amount of multiple batches of conveying can reduce the number of ejector pins, reduce the cost, and reduce the load of the ejector pins.

[0065] And the use of sheet-shaped belts can greatly shorten the length of the lower ejector pin, not only improving the load capacity of the lower ejector pin, but also preventing the lower ejector pin from bending and deforming due to its excessive length.

[0066] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the existing upper ejector pin is mostly 5mm, and the upper ejector pin is provided with a cap with an outer diameter of 8mm, the distance between any adjacent cap covers of the upper ejector pin is 0.5mm, and the total distance between any adjacent upper ejector pins is 16.5mm, which cannot be applied to the waste removal process of closely arranged products.

[0067] Compared with the existing 5mm upper ejector pin, the present embodiment adopts a 3mm outer diameter upper ejector pin and is inserted into a 4.2mm center distance socket, wherein the 3mm specification upper ejector pin is provided with a 4mm cap, and the distance between the cap covers of the 3mm specification upper ejector pin is 0.2mm, so that 4 3mm specification upper ejector pins can be accommodated within the length range of two 5mm specification ejector pins, or 4 3mm specification upper ejector pins can also be accommodated within the width range of two 5mm specification ejector pins, so that 16 3mm specification upper ejector pins can be inserted within the range of 272.25mm 2 .

[0068] Alternatively, the present embodiment adopts a 2mm outer diameter upper ejector pin and is inserted into a 2.6mm center distance socket, which is provided with a 2.5mm cap on the upper part, and the distance between the cap covers of the 2mm specification upper ejector pin is 0.1mm, and the cap area of the 2.5mm outer diameter is about 4.9mm, so that 21 2mm specification upper ejector pins can be accommodated within the length range of two 5mm specification ejector pins, or 21 3mm specification upper ejector pins can also be accommodated within the width range of two 5mm specification ejector pins, so that 42 2mm specification upper ejector pins can be inserted within the range of 272.25mm 2 .

[0069] Based on the above specification of the ejector pin, the stress area A of 16 3mm upper ejector pins in the present embodiment is 113.04mm 2 , and the force F acting on the upper ejector pin is taken as an example of 3.01KN, and the resulting pressure S is about 26.63Pa, or the stress area A of 42 2mm upper ejector pins is 131.88mm 2 , and the force F acting on the upper ejector pin is taken as an example of 3.01KN, and the resulting pressure S is about 22.82Pa, and the stress area A of the existing 5mm specification ejector pin is 39.25mm 2, the force F received is taken as an example of 3.01 KN, and the pressure S generated is about 76.69 Pa. From the above calculation, it can be seen that the pressure received by the 3mm specification ejector pin is about one third of the 5mm specification, and the pressure received by the 2mm specification is close to one fourth of the 5mm specification. The smaller the size, the greater the pressure that can be withstood. Under the same conditions, the ejector pin can be made longer, overcoming the traditional technical prejudice that the thicker the ejector pin, the greater the force it can withstand.

[0070] It can be seen that through the above arrangement, not only can the waste removal work of closely arranged products be met, but also the force receiving area of the ejector pin is greatly increased. The greater the force receiving area of the ejector pin, the smaller the pressure it receives under the same force, so that the ejector pin is not easy to deform, and therefore the length of the ejector pin can be made longer, and the position of the small size ejector pin layout is more flexible, which can better match the shape of the printed product.

[0071] Further, the input end and the output end are respectively provided with a positioning module, the positioning module comprises an encoder disc and a displacement detection module, the encoder disc is fixedly arranged on the end of the return main roller 31 and the outgoing main roller 41, and the displacement detection module is arranged opposite to the encoder disc and is fixedly arranged on the return driving device and the outgoing driving device. In the embodiment, the displacement detection module preferably adopts an angular displacement sensor. The absolute position information of the return main roller 31 and the outgoing main roller 41 is detected by the displacement detection module and fed back to the control unit, so that the return driving device and the outgoing driving device respectively drive the return main roller and the outgoing main roller to rotate by a set angle, so as to ensure that the sheet-shaped belt can accurately deliver the printed product to the waste removal station, and the through hole of the sheet-shaped belt is on the same axis as the pinhole on the platform.

[0072] In the embodiment, the control unit is electrically connected with the displacement detection module, the return driving device and the outgoing driving device. The control unit preferably adopts a programmable logic controller. In the embodiment, the moving distance of the sheet-shaped belt in the return or outgoing direction can be adjusted according to the size of the printed product, so that the sheet-shaped belt can accurately deliver the printed product to the waste removal station or send the waste edge away from the platform 1 and the sheet-shaped belt 2 back to the original position.

[0073] For example, in the embodiment, the position of the receiving station is taken as the initial position. After the printed product to be removed is sent to the sheet-shaped belt, the outgoing driving device drives the outgoing main roller to rotate by a set angle n in the direction of the waste removal station, i.e. the rotating angle n required for the printed product to be delivered from the waste removal station to the waste removal station according to the size of the printed product, and the sheet-shaped belt is positioned by the positioning module, so that the sheet-shaped belt 2 accurately delivers the printed product to the waste removal station.

[0074] Further, in the embodiment, after the printed product is separated from the waste edge at the waste removal station, the waste edge needs to be sent out of the platform. Therefore, the outgoing driving device drives the outgoing main roller to continue to rotate by a set angle n in the outgoing direction1 the rotation angle n required for sending the scrap edge away from the platform 1 so that the scrap edge leaves the scrap edge cleaning station under the drive of the sheet belt 2.

[0075] After the separation of the printed product and the scrap edge is completed, the return driving device drives the return main roller to rotate in the return direction by a set angle n 2 , that is, the rotation angle n and the rotation angle n 1 are added to obtain the rotation angle n 2 , so that the sheet belt returns to the initial position to continue to receive the printed product to be cleaned.

[0076] In another embodiment, the positioning module includes a pair of positioning detection modules arranged at the beginning and end of the platform and electrically connected to the control unit, and the sheet belt is provided with a positioning hole. In this embodiment, the positioning detection module preferably uses an optical fiber sensor. When the positioning hole reaches the position of the positioning detection module during the return process of the sheet belt, the positioning detection module feeds back to the control unit, or when the positioning hole reaches the position of the positioning detection module during the outbound process of the sheet belt, the positioning detection module feeds back to the control unit. Then the return driving device and the outbound driving device stop acting to ensure that the sheet belt can accurately deliver the printed product to the designated position.

[0077] In another embodiment, the platform 1 is provided with a visual monitoring module. In this embodiment, the visual monitoring module is used to obtain image information of the through hole 21 on the sheet belt 2, and compare the error value between the through hole 21 and the pinhole 11 according to the image information, and feed back to the control unit. The error value fed back by the visual monitoring module is used to displace the sheet belt 2 by the return driving device and the outbound driving device, so as to ensure that the through hole on the sheet belt 2 can be aligned with the pinhole, avoid the pinhole being blocked by the sheet belt, and make the cleaning work more stable.

[0078] Referring to Figures 1-4 , the present application based on the above-mentioned scrap edge cleaning device also provides a conveying method, comprising the following steps:

[0079] S101, the printed product on the material receiving station is taken by the sheet belt, and the outbound main roller and the return main roller are synchronously rotated in the outbound direction to pull the sheet belt to move horizontally in the outbound direction by a set distance, so as to send the printed product to the scrap edge cleaning station.
