    PLANT FOR MAGAZINING SEPARATING STRIPS, PLANT FOR FORMING BOARD STACKS AND MAGAZINE
    The invention relates to a system for magazining separating strips according to claim 1, a system including such a system for forming stacks of boards according to claim 19 and a magazine, which is particularly suitable for use in such a system, according to claim 20.
    In the woodworking industry systems for forming stacks of boards are known in which at least one layer of boards and at least two separating strips are alternately layered on top of one another. The dividing strips can in particular serve to generate a defined distance between the board layers in order to be able to dry the finished board stacks in a controlled manner. The dividing strips are usually made of wood, so they are wooden strips. The use of strips made of a different material, such as aluminum or plastic, is also known, however.
    The separating strips are each automatically issued from magazines which are arranged above the stack of boards that is being formed. Such a magazine has at least one shaft in which separating strips are stored one on top of the other in the vertical direction. The magazines are usually filled by manually pushing in the separating strips from the side.
    Proceeding from this, the present invention has the task of providing a system for automatic magazining of separating strips available in order to increase the degree of automation and occupational safety.
    This object is achieved by a system for magazining according to claim 1. A system for forming stacks of boards, which has such a system for magazining, is specified in claim 19, a magazine suitable for such systems in claim 20.
    The first basic idea of the invention is to provide a robot with a gripper for filling the at least one magazine with separating strips. This robot preferably has at least 4, in particular at least 5 mutually independent movement axes and the at least one magazine is preferably filled by the robot's gripper from above, not from the side as in the prior art.
    [0007] Without further measures, however, such “robot loading” would generally be too slow. According to the invention, it is therefore also provided for the magazine to be filled by a further step. This step consists in the provision of separating strip packages by a package supply device, which are then picked up by the robot. Such a separating strip package can typically consist of 4 to 20 separating strips. As a rule, the separation strip packages are transferred from the package delivery device to the robot at a defined transfer point of the package delivery device.
    For further rationalization, the formation of the separating strip packages can be done by means of an automatic package formation device, in particular such as is specified in the dependent claims 9 to 12 and as shown in the embodiment described in detail below. In this case, the package provision device is part of this package formation device.
    [0009] Furthermore, it is possible to provide more than one package supply device for each robot, which equipment provides separating strip packages for the robot to take over. In particular, a package delivery device can be part of a fully automatic package formation device. The further package preparation device can also work fully automatically, or it can be loaded manually with separating strip packages.
    Another advantage of the system according to the invention consists in addition to the rationalization
    in that automatically movable magazines can be used, which can also change their position during operation. In this case, direct manual loading would not be possible for health and safety reasons.
    Preferred configurations for a robot-fillable magazine are given in claims 13 to 16.
    [0012] Further preferred embodiments emerge from the further subclaims.
    The invention will now be explained in more detail using exemplary embodiments with reference to the figures. Here show:

    FIG. 9 shows that shown in FIG. 8 in a further subsequent work step, so that the state shown in FIG. 1 is present,
    Figure 10 shows a second embodiment of a system for forming stacks of boards in a representation corresponding to Figure 1 and
    Figure 11 shows a section along the plane B-B in Figure 10 in an enlarged view.
    FIG. 1 shows, very schematically, a system for forming stacks of boards. A stack of boards B which is under construction is shown on the right in FIG. Such systems are basically known in the prior art, but the actual structure and creation of the board stack B will be discussed first:
    A vertically movable storage table 60 is provided, which is gradually lowered during the formation of the stack of boards B. The board layers for the board stack B are fed in via a horizontally movable tongue 62. Above the storage table 60 are (as a rule at least two) magazines 50, each of which has at least one shaft (as will be seen later, the magazines 50 here illustrated embodiment, two shafts on) for separating strips T on. As will also be explained in detail below, each magazine 50 has an output device for outputting individual separating strips T. Part of this output device is the gripper 58 shown schematically in FIG.
    The formation of the stack of boards B takes place in such a way that one or more layers of boards and at least two separating strips T separating the two layers are stored alternately while the storage table 60 is gradually lowered downwards. The longitudinal extensions of the boards and the separating strips T are perpendicular to one another. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the magazines 50 are transverse to the longitudinal extension of the separating strips stored in them
    (ie perpendicular to the plane of the drawing) can be moved horizontally, for which purpose they can be arranged on rails 59, for example.
    The invention relates to the filling (also referred to as loading) of the magazines 50 with separating strips T and the magazines as such. In the prior art, the filling takes place manually by pushing the dividing strips T into the magazines from the side.
    The invention now provides a system for fully or partially automatic magazining of separating strips. This system would of course also work if only one magazine 50 is provided, which as a rule, however, is likely to be of little practical importance. The embodiment shown in Figure 1 includes a fully automatic system for magazining.
    This system for fully automatic magazining has three functional units, namely a package forming device 20, a robot 40 having a gripper 42 and the magazine 50. The robot 40 has (not counting the mobility of the gripper 42) five axes of movement A1 to A5, which are indicated in FIG. Such a robot with at least five mutually independent movement axes is generally preferred (mostly also necessary) in order to be able to exploit all the advantages of the invention. Preferably exactly one robot is provided.
    The package formation device 20 consists of three interacting sub-units, namely a deflector 22, a punch 24, which can be driven in an oscillating manner, and the package delivery device 21. This package delivery device 21 has a conveyor, which is referred to here as the second conveyor 28, and a dem first buffer station 30 downstream of the second conveyor. The second conveyor 28 extends obliquely upward from the deflector 22 and the punch oscillates parallel to the conveying plane of this second conveyor 28. To explain its structure and mode of operation, reference is made later to FIGS.
    Finally, a first conveyor 10 is also provided, which conveys the separating strips on or into the deflector 22 in a lying state.
    All of the conveyors described here (this also applies to the conveyors of the buffer stations) are chain conveyors, each of which has at least two chains that extend parallel to one another and are driven simultaneously.
    As has already been mentioned, the first conveyor 10 promotes separating strips T to and into the deflector 22. As a rule, the separating strips T accumulate in front of the deflector 22 to form a carpet. The separating strips T are essentially geometric cuboids which extend in the longitudinal direction from a first end face to a second end face and which have two pairs of longitudinal sides which are perpendicular to one another. As a rule, adjacent long sides of a separating strip are of unequal width and the requirement is such that the separating strips T are conveyed lying on one of their wider long sides. A sorting station can also be arranged upstream (against the direction of the wood flow) of the deflector 22, in which separating strips T which do not fit, for example too strongly curved, are sorted out. In this case, the measurement of the separating strips can be carried out by means of a laser scanner, so that unsuitable separating strips T can be sorted out automatically. However, this is not shown in the figures.
    The deflector 22 consists essentially of two mutually parallel, vertically arranged plates, each of which has an at least sectionally arcuate incision 23. These incisions merge from a horizontal into a downwardly extending approximately 1/5-arc. The upper conveyor section of the first conveyor 10 is guided on a guide and follows this curve. Thus, the conveyed separating strips T reach the lower end of the incisions. It would also be conceivable that they cover the last section purely due to gravity. The upper side of the second conveyor 28 is located below the exit of the incisions 23 and, as already mentioned, a plunger 24 that can be driven in an oscillating manner is provided, which is so far in its rear dead center shown in FIG
    is withdrawn so that the foremost separating strip T located in the deflector 22 can slide onto the top of the second conveyor 28, with a narrower longitudinal side coming up there.
    By means of the oscillating punch 24, the separating strip T resting on the second conveyor 28 is pushed upwards to the top dead center of the punch 24. In the embodiment shown, the punch is driven by a crank mechanism, but it could also be driven by a piston-cylinder unit or by a linear motor. Before the punch 24 moves downwards, the separating strip T, which was last pushed up, is held in place by means of a clamping device 26 designed as a hold-down device. Here, FIG. 1 shows the clamping position of the hold-down device 26, and FIG. 2 shows the open position. As soon as a separating strip package T has reached its desired thickness (in the embodiment shown, the thickness of six separating strips), the punch 24 remains in its upper end position and the second conveyor 28 is driven by means of its motor 80 until a pair of drivers 29a the just formed separating strip package T " takes over “and conveys a little so that a new separating strip package T can be formed as just described. Thus, from the dividing strips T, dividing strip packs P are formed. Due to the inclined position of the second conveyor 28, the separating strip packages P cannot fall apart due to gravity.
    In the end region of the second conveyor 28, the first buffer station 30 is arranged so as to overlap the second conveyor 28. Overlapping here means that the chains 32 of the first buffer station 30 are offset in the transverse direction of the second conveyor 28 to the chains 29 of the second conveyor 28, but overlap in the longitudinal direction (FIG. 3). Like the second conveyor 28, the first buffer station 30 has chains and 32 drivers 32a, so that a separating strip package P located in the end region of the second conveyor 28 can be taken over by the first buffer station 30 so that it is brought into a transfer position by the buffer station 30 and can be held there while the second conveyor 28 is driven again. The end of the buffer station is formed by two static support beams 39 on which the separating strip package P to be transferred rests at least partially and which define the transfer position. In the area of this above-mentioned transfer position there is also a stationary lateral stop 37 and a horizontally movable lateral stop 38 (only shown in FIG and positioned separating strip package P is available for transfer to the robot 40. The static support supports 39 make it easier for the gripper 42 to grip the partition strip packs, since there is nothing in the area below these support supports.
    As shown in FIG. 4, the first buffer station 30 can also be followed by a second buffer station 34; in principle, of course, any number of buffer stations could be connected in series. The support carriers 39 are only part of the last buffer station. In the exemplary embodiment of FIG. 4, the rear gears of the first buffer station 30 and the front gears of the second buffer station 34 are geometrically arranged on one axis, but not coupled to one another, so that the two buffer stations can be driven independently of one another. The same applies to the second and third buffer stations.
    It is essential that a transfer position is defined at which the separating strip package P is taken over by the aforementioned robot 40, namely its gripper 42. The separating strip package P is preferably at rest at this defined transfer position for a certain period of time, so that a static interface to the robot 40 is defined. In principle, it would at least also be conceivable for the robot to take over a moving package of sawn timber, but this would be significantly more complex in terms of control technology, geometry and also with regard to the operational sequence. The subsequent arrangement of at least one buffer station 30 after the second conveyor 28 thus has the advantage that the formation of the separating strip packs P is decoupled from the takeover of the same by the robot 40.
    As has already been indicated, the gripper 42 of the robot 40 takes over the respective last (this also means the topmost) separating strip package P. This he then leads to one of the magazines
    zine 50 from above and put it down. The design of a magazine 50 which makes this possible will now be discussed with further reference to FIGS.
    FIG. 5 shows a magazine 50 in a schematic cross-sectional view, the cutting plane corresponding to plane A-A in FIG. 1, but the magazine is in a different working state. It should be said in advance that the magazine shown in FIG. 5 is a magazine with two shafts. This will often be preferred, but it is also possible with the system according to the invention to provide a magazine with only one shaft.
    The magazine 50 has four outer lateral limiters, two of which, namely the lateral outer limiter 52a and the lateral outer limiter 52b, can be seen in FIG. Two further lateral outer limiters are similarly provided, one of which, namely the lateral outer limiter 52c, can be seen in FIG. Thus there are two pairs of opposite side limiters. It is essential that the two pairs of lateral outer limiters are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the separating strips T located in the magazine, so that there is free space for the gripper 42 of the robot 40. There is an inner partition between each pair of lateral outer limiters. The free space thus extends over the entire width of the magazine. In FIG. 5, the inner partition wall 54a can be seen, which is located between the lateral outer limiter 52a and the lateral outer limiter 52b. Accordingly, there is another inner partition (not visible in the figures) between the two other lateral outer limiters. Thus, two shafts 55a, 55b extending parallel to one another are formed. The shafts 55a, 55b widen upwards, which facilitates the introduction of the separating strip packages P from above by the gripper 42 of the robot 40. Due to the above-mentioned free space, the gripper can place a newly supplied separating strip package P on the floor of the empty shaft or on the uppermost separating strip T in the shaft.
    Each shaft 55a, 55b has a horizontally movable ejector 56a, 56b at its bottom. At the lower end of each shaft there is a horizontally extending ejection opening. The bottom of the magazine 50 has an opening and a vertically movable gripper 58 is arranged above this opening.
    To dispense the respective lowermost separating bar T, the respective ejector (in FIG. 6 the right ejector 56a) is moved towards the center through the ejection opening, so that the previously lowermost separating bar T is positioned below the gripper 58. The gripper 58 is then lowered and the gripper tongs closed (FIG. 7). Once this has taken place, the ejector 56a is withdrawn so that the opening in the bottom of the magazine is cleared again. Then the gripper 58a is lowered so that the separating strip T can be lowered onto the stack of boards B.
    FIGS. 10 and 11 show a further exemplary embodiment of a system for forming stacks of boards in a representation corresponding to FIG. In addition to the system parts of Figure 1, a third conveyor 70 having two chains 72 is provided, which carries a plurality of receptacles 74 each having two forks 76, in which (for example by hand) further separating strip packages P 'are inserted, so that a further package provision device is formed. The end position of the receptacles 74 can also be reached by the gripper 42, so that, if necessary, the gripper can also remove separating strip packages P from these receptacles 74. This can be useful, for example, if different types of separating strips (for example with different dimensions) are to be introduced in both shafts of the magazines. The system of this exemplary embodiment can thus be operated both fully automatically and partially automatically.
