- the belt conveyor 13 is supported by a support plate 15 which by way of springs 23 rests upon a support 24 fixed on the frame 25. Because of the spring-loaded support plate 15 and also because of the possibility of movement of the inner drum 6, the sheets of paper and cardboard lying on the belt conveyor can be of changing thicknesses without causing any problem.
- FIG. 2 shows in greater detail the way in which the device functions.
- Belts 29 are provided around the outer circumference of the belt conveyor 13, the belts 29 being positioned at some distance from each other in the direction perpendicular to the direction of conveyance 32.
- the belts 29 may, if desired, have a transverse groove 30 extending over the width of the belt conveyor 13.
- the belts 29 are preferably fixed in an elastic manner on the belt conveyor 13, so that the belt conveyor 13 can easily rotate with the belts 29 about the drive pulley 20 and the return pulley 20A.

- a sheet 28 is shown lying flat on the belts 29, which sheet 28 moves with the belt conveyor 13 in the direction of movement 32. More or less in synchronism with the movement of the belt conveyor 13 in the direction 32, the inner drum 6 and the outer drum 5 rotate in a direction 27 along with the belt conveyor 13.
- the sorting tines 3 are fitted on the inner drum 6, for example by being screwed onto a screw thread provided in the inner drum 6.
- screwed-in bushes in which the sorting tines 3 are clamped.

- the slotted holes 26 are of a width which precisely encloses the external diameter of the sorting tines 3.
- the inner drum 6 is pressed against the outer drum 5 by the pressure rollers 17. This means that, as the space between the belt conveyor 13 and the sorting tines 3 decreases, the sorting tines 3 are pressed into the sheet 28, so that on further rotation of the inner drum 6 and the outer drum 5 the sheets 28 are carried along, as shown by the sheet 31 hanging on the sorting tines 3.
- Figure 3 shows the construction of Figures 1 and 2 in cross section. It can be seen here that the sorting tine 3 is fixed in the inner drum 6 by means of a screw thread and a spring washer 37.
- the longitudinal groove 36 can also be seen in this figure, and it can be seen that the sorting tine 3 can move in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal groove 36.

- the blunt tip is of such dimensions (for example, as the smallest surface area a diameter of 1 mm) that the tip 34 tears open cardboard, with the result that the latter will grip around the sorting tine 3.
- the sorting tine 3 can also be designed with one groove 33 or with more than two grooves 33.
- the drive 22 not only drives the belt conveyor 13, for example by driving the drive pulley 20 and possibly also the return pulley 20A, but the drive 22 also rotates the inner drum 6 and outer drum 5 by driving the support rollers 16. Owing to the fact that it is possible that some slip may occur between the belt conveyor 13 and the drive pulley 20 and/or between the outer drum 5 and the support roller 16, it can happen that the rotation of the outer circumference of the outer drum 5 and the movement of the belt conveyor 13 are not fully in synchronism. This means that it is necessary for the sorting tines 3 to be able to move in the longitudinal direction relative to the belt conveyor 13 and the belts 29.
- Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment, in which the synchronization between the movement of the belt conveyor 13 and the outer drum 5 is made possible by means of teeth.
- a toothed profile 40 is provided on the belt conveyor 13, for example by means of gluing, and a support drum 38 is provided on the outer drum 5, on which support drum a corresponding toothed profile 39 is fixed.
- the outer drum 5 is placed above the belt conveyor 13 in such a way that the toothed profile 39 is in mesh with the toothed profile 40, so that when the belt conveyor 13 is driven the latter also produces the rotation of the outer drum 5, and consequently also of the inner drum 6.

- the holes 41 are dimensioned in such a way here that the sorting tine 3 presses a sheet of paper 28 into the hole so that the sheet does not stick on the sorting tine 3, while, if the sheet 28 is made of cardboard, then the sorting tine 3 will pierce the cardboard, and the cardboard sticks in a groove 33 of the sorting tine.
- said synchronization can also be achieved in another way.
- the sheets of paper and cardboard can be supplied in a single layer at speeds of 50 - 60 m/minute, the inner drum 6 and the outer drum 5 having a speed corresponding to those speeds.

Claim 1. European Patent ApplicationEP-A-1291092 discloses a device in accordance with the preamble ofclaim 1. In this known device the sorting tines are fixed on a rubber belt, which is guided along the belt conveyor. For the removal of the sheets the rubber belt is guided along a stripping device. In the course of this the sorting tines move along the removal means, so that the cardboard is not always stripped off the tines correctly. The tines are also put under an undesirable load, so that said tines can come away from the rubber belt. - In order to avoid this disadvantage, the device is designed in accordance with
Claim 1. In the device according to the invention the sorting tines are fixed securely on an inner drum, and the cardboard is stripped off the sorting tines by a likewise sturdy outer drum, the outer drum moving more or less in the longitudinal direction along the sorting tines.

Claim 6. By designing the sorting tines with at least one groove, it is ensured that cardboard sticks better on the sorting tine, with the result that heavier sheets of cardboard are also sorted correctly out of the stream of sheets of paper and cardboard. - In accordance with one embodiment, the device is designed according to Claim 7. By making the belt conveyor and/or the pressure rollers spring-loaded, it is easily possible to accommodate thickness differences in the sheets of paper and/or cardboard lying on the belt conveyor without overloading of the construction occurring.
- In accordance with one embodiment, the device is designed according to Claim 8. By this measure, the supports are of a simple design and because the sorting tines can move in the longitudinal direction relative to the belt conveyor, it is not necessary to have exact synchronization in the rotation of the rotating drums with the sorting tines and the movement of the belt conveyor.

Claim 11. By this measure, the outer drum can be fitted accurately around the sorting tines, so that it is easy for the outer drum to remove the cardboard impaled upon the sorting tines. - In accordance with one embodiment, the device is designed according to
Claim 12. By this measure, it is ensured that the sorting tines always project through holes in the outer drum, so that the inner drum stays in an accurate position relative to the outer drum. - The invention is explained below with reference to an exemplary embodiment by means of a drawing, in which:
-
Figure 1 shows a diagrammatic side view of the device; -
Figure 2 shows a detail of the side view ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 shows a cross section of the belt conveyor at the position where the sorting tine goes into engagement with the sheet of paper or cardboard of the device according toFigures 1 and2 ; and -
Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment of the device, in which the movement of the belt conveyor is synchronized with the rotation of the inner drum and the outer drum by teeth. - The
sorting device 1 consists of aframe 25 having on the upper side twoside walls 14 between which anendless belt conveyor 13 is provided. Theendless belt conveyor 13 runs over adrive pulley 20 and areturn pulley 20A and is guided bysupport rollers 21 between theside walls 14 and held taut by thereturn pulley 20A. Thebelt conveyor 13 is driven mechanically by a drive 22 (not shown) in a direction ofconveyance 32. The mixture of sheets of paper and cardboard to be sorted is supplied by asupply belt 2 to thebelt conveyor 13, in which process, in order to make sorting of the sheets possible, the speeds of thesupply belt 2 and thebelt conveyor 13 are selected in such a way that individual sheets are deposited one after the other in a single layer on thebelt conveyor 13. - Sheets of cardboard and paper lying on the
belt conveyor 13 are conveyed along underneathsorting tines 3, during which the sorting tines 3 lift sheets of cardboard off the belt and deposit them on afirst discharge belt 9. Sheets of paper remain lying on thebelt conveyor 13 and are conveyed to asecond discharge belt 12. At the point where the sheets of paper fall off thebelt conveyor 13 onto thesecond discharge belt 12,guide plates 11 are provided in order to prevent the sheets of paper from falling onto the ground. Thesecond discharge belt 12 conveys the sheets of paper to a storage place and/or a place where the paper is processed further. - The preceding text has referred a number of times to the separation of paper and cardboard. It is pointed out here that the term cardboard also includes those types of paper which have a resistance to tearing which is comparable to that of cardboard and are consequently unsuitable for the further processing operations which paper will undergo after being sorted.
- The sheets of cardboard which are lifted off the
belt conveyor 13 by thesorting tines 3 move upwards along with thesorting tines 3. Through the difference in diameter between theinner drum 6 on which thesorting tines 3 are fixed and theouter drum 5 rotating about said inner drum and having apertures 26 (seeFigures 2 - 4 ) through which the sorting tines 3 project, during rotation of theinner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 thesorting tines 3 project increasingly less far outside theouter drum 5, and theouter drum 5 pushes the sheets of cardboard off thesorting tines 3. As a result, the sheets of cardboard fall off thesorting tines 3 onto thefirst discharge belt 9 placed beside theouter drum 5 for that purpose. Aguide plate 10 is provided to guide the falling sheets of cardboard. -
Support rollers 16 are provided on the outside of theside walls 14 on theframe 25. On these support rollers theouter drum 5 can rotate about a top axis of rotation 7 which is preferably more or less perpendicular to a direction ofmovement 32 of thebelt conveyor 13. Theouter drum 5 is completely open on the inside and has aguide edge 4, as a result of which theouter drum 5 always stays more or less in the same position above thebelt conveyor 13. Theinner drum 6 rests on the bottom part of theouter drum 5, which inner drum rotates with theouter drum 5 about a bottom axis of rotation 8. Thesorting tines 3 are fitted in theinner drum 6 in such a way that they can be changed easily in the event of wear and also for the purpose of fitting theinner drum 6 in theouter drum 5. - In order to ensure that the
inner drum 6 rotates with theouter drum 5 and does not jerk upwards as a result of the load on thesorting tines 3,pressure rollers 17 are preferably provided at the position of thesupport rollers 16, each pressure roller being fixed by means ofsprings 18 on asupport 19. Thesprings 18 make some movement of theinner drum 6 relative to theouter drum 5 possible. In the region where theinner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 rotate above thebelt conveyor 13, thebelt conveyor 13 is supported by asupport plate 15 which by way ofsprings 23 rests upon asupport 24 fixed on theframe 25. Because of the spring-loadedsupport plate 15 and also because of the possibility of movement of theinner drum 6, the sheets of paper and cardboard lying on the belt conveyor can be of changing thicknesses without causing any problem. -
Figure 2 shows in greater detail the way in which the device functions.Belts 29 are provided around the outer circumference of thebelt conveyor 13, thebelts 29 being positioned at some distance from each other in the direction perpendicular to the direction ofconveyance 32. Thebelts 29 may, if desired, have atransverse groove 30 extending over the width of thebelt conveyor 13. Thebelts 29 are preferably fixed in an elastic manner on thebelt conveyor 13, so that thebelt conveyor 13 can easily rotate with thebelts 29 about thedrive pulley 20 and thereturn pulley 20A. Alongitudinal groove 36 is provided between thebelts 29 in the longitudinal direction of thebelt conveyor 13, between which longitudinal groove thesorting tines 3 can project. - A
sheet 28 is shown lying flat on thebelts 29, whichsheet 28 moves with thebelt conveyor 13 in the direction ofmovement 32. More or less in synchronism with the movement of thebelt conveyor 13 in thedirection 32, theinner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 rotate in adirection 27 along with thebelt conveyor 13. As stated above, the sortingtines 3 are fitted on theinner drum 6, for example by being screwed onto a screw thread provided in theinner drum 6. Of course, other constructions are possible with, for example, screwed-in bushes in which thesorting tines 3 are clamped. - The sorting
tines 3 project through the slottedholes 26, which in the circumferential direction are of such length that the relative movement of the sortingtines 3 which has occurred in relation to theouter drum 5 through the difference in diameter between theinner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 is possible in the slotted holes 26. The slotted holes 26 are of a width which precisely encloses the external diameter of the sortingtines 3. Theinner drum 6 is pressed against theouter drum 5 by thepressure rollers 17. This means that, as the space between thebelt conveyor 13 and the sortingtines 3 decreases, the sortingtines 3 are pressed into thesheet 28, so that on further rotation of theinner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 thesheets 28 are carried along, as shown by thesheet 31 hanging on the sortingtines 3. - During the sorting, use is made of the situation where, if a
sorting tine 3 is pressed on a sheet of paper, the paper then gives way and will fold into thelongitudinal groove 36 between thebelts 29, and springs back again to a limited extent as soon as thesorting tine 3 moves back up again relative to the sheet. The paper may possibly tear, so that it is ultimately hanging loosely around thesorting tine 3 and will not be lifted up by it. However, because of the thickness of a sheet of cardboard, the latter cannot fold into thelongitudinal groove 36, with the result that the cardboard will acquire a small tear and will grip around thesorting tine 3. Through the difference in grip around thesorting tine 3, a sheet of cardboard is lifted by the sortingtines 3 and a sheet of paper remains lying on thebelt conveyor 13. -
Figure 3 shows the construction ofFigures 1 and2 in cross section. It can be seen here that thesorting tine 3 is fixed in theinner drum 6 by means of a screw thread and aspring washer 37. Thelongitudinal groove 36 can also be seen in this figure, and it can be seen that thesorting tine 3 can move in the longitudinal direction of thelongitudinal groove 36. - The
sorting tine 3 is designed with twogrooves 33 and ablunt tip 34, by means of which thesorting tine 3 will presssheets 28 lying on thebelts 29. The person skilled in the art will understand that by means of the blunt tip the sheet of paper lying on thebelts 29 is pressed away into thelongitudinal groove 36. The blunt tip is of such dimensions (for example, as the smallest surface area a diameter of 1 mm) that thetip 34 tears open cardboard, with the result that the latter will grip around thesorting tine 3. Thesorting tine 3 can also be designed with onegroove 33 or with more than twogrooves 33. - In the embodiment described above the
drive 22 not only drives thebelt conveyor 13, for example by driving thedrive pulley 20 and possibly also thereturn pulley 20A, but thedrive 22 also rotates theinner drum 6 andouter drum 5 by driving thesupport rollers 16. Owing to the fact that it is possible that some slip may occur between thebelt conveyor 13 and thedrive pulley 20 and/or between theouter drum 5 and thesupport roller 16, it can happen that the rotation of the outer circumference of theouter drum 5 and the movement of thebelt conveyor 13 are not fully in synchronism. This means that it is necessary for the sortingtines 3 to be able to move in the longitudinal direction relative to thebelt conveyor 13 and thebelts 29. The construction shown here, in which theouter drum 5 rolls onsupport rollers 16, can be replaced with a comparable result by a construction in which theouter drum 5 is provided with a central shaft with bearings. Other constructions of the common rotation of theinner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 are also possible. -
Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment, in which the synchronization between the movement of thebelt conveyor 13 and theouter drum 5 is made possible by means of teeth. Atoothed profile 40 is provided on thebelt conveyor 13, for example by means of gluing, and asupport drum 38 is provided on theouter drum 5, on which support drum a correspondingtoothed profile 39 is fixed. Theouter drum 5 is placed above thebelt conveyor 13 in such a way that thetoothed profile 39 is in mesh with thetoothed profile 40, so that when thebelt conveyor 13 is driven the latter also produces the rotation of theouter drum 5, and consequently also of theinner drum 6. - In order to make precise support of the
sheets 28 possible, in this embodiment holes 41 are provided in thebelt conveyor 13, which holes are positioned in such a way that asorting tine 3 always projects into thehole 41. Theholes 41 are dimensioned in such a way here that thesorting tine 3 presses a sheet ofpaper 28 into the hole so that the sheet does not stick on thesorting tine 3, while, if thesheet 28 is made of cardboard, then thesorting tine 3 will pierce the cardboard, and the cardboard sticks in agroove 33 of the sorting tine. - Apart from the synchronization shown here of the movements of the
belt conveyor 13 and theouter drum 5 by means of teeth, said synchronization can also be achieved in another way. This could be by direct connection of the movement of thebelt conveyor 13 to drivepulley 20, for example by providing thebelt conveyor 13 on the inside with teeth and likewise designing thereturn pulley 20A with a connection interacting with said teeth, connecting the rotation of thedrive pulley 20 by means of chains to the rotation of thesupport roller 16 and subsequently connecting the rotation of saidsupport roller 16 by means of teeth to the rotation of theouter drum 5. - Through the measures shown, it is possible for the device to have a great capacity. The sheets of paper and cardboard can be supplied in a single layer at speeds of 50 - 60 m/minute, the
inner drum 6 and theouter drum 5 having a speed corresponding to those speeds.
