Abstract

The present invention relates to a device ( 1 ) for removing plate-shaped elements ( 2 ), in particular cardboard blanks, comprising a carrier device ( 16 ), a holding device ( 9 ) which is arranged on the carrier device ( 16 ) for holding the plate-shaped element ( 2 ), a drive ( 7 ) with a driven shaft ( 8 ), a first lever ( 11 ) which is arranged fixedly on the shaft ( 8 ) so as to rotate with it, a second lever ( 12 ) which is connected rotatably to the first lever ( 11 ) and rotatably to the carrier device ( 16 ), a fourth lever ( 14 ) which is arranged such that it can be rotated about a fixed point ( 18 ), wherein the fourth lever ( 14 ) is connected rotatably to the carrier device ( 16 ), and a third lever ( 13 ) which is connected rotatably to the first lever ( 11 ) and rotatably to the fourth lever ( 14 ).

Claims (19)

1. A device ( 1 ) for removing plate-shaped elements ( 2 ), comprising:

a carrier device ( 16 ),

a holding device ( 9 ) which is arranged on the carrier device ( 16 ) and is configured to hold the plate-shaped element ( 2 ),

a drive ( 7 ) with a driven shaft ( 8 ), the driven shaft ( 8 ) having a shaft axis,

a first lever ( 11 ) which is arranged fixedly on the shaft ( 8 ) so as to rotate with the shaft,

a second lever ( 12 ) which is connected rotatably to the first lever ( 11 ) and rotatably to the carrier device ( 16 ),

a fourth lever ( 14 ) which is configured to be rotated about a fixed axis ( 18 ), which is fixed relative to the shaft axis, wherein the fourth lever ( 14 ) is connected rotatably to the carrier device ( 16 ), and

a third lever ( 13 ) which is connected rotatably to the first lever ( 11 ) and rotatably to the fourth lever ( 14 ).

2. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the holding device ( 9 ) comprises at least one of a gripper and a suction apparatus ( 10 ) for holding the plate-shaped element ( 2 ).

3. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the second lever ( 12 ) is connected to the first lever ( 11 ) at a first connecting point ( 19 ), and the third lever ( 13 ) is connected to the first lever ( 11 ) at a second connecting point ( 20 ), wherein the shaft ( 8 ) is disposed between the first connecting point and the second connecting point ( 19 , 20 ).

4. The device according to claim 3 , characterized in that the third lever ( 13 ) is connected to the fourth lever ( 14 ) at a third connecting point ( 21 ), and the carrier device ( 16 ) is connected to the fourth lever ( 14 ) at a fourth connecting point ( 22 ), wherein the fixed axis ( 18 ) is disposed between the third and fourth connecting point ( 21 , 22 ).

5. The device according to claim 4 , characterized by a fifth lever ( 15 ) which is connected rotatably to the third lever ( 13 ) and rotatably to the holding device ( 9 ), wherein the holding device ( 9 ) is guided in a linearly movable manner on the carrier device ( 16 ).

6. The device according to claim 5 , characterized in that the fifth lever ( 15 ) is connected to the third lever ( 13 ) between the second and third connecting point ( 20 , 21 ).

7. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shaft axis and rotational axes of all of the levers ( 11 - 15 ) are aligned parallel to one another.

8. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the levers ( 11 - 15 ) of the device ( 1 ) are configured to remove the plate-shaped element ( 2 ) from a first position ( 3 ) and to lay said element down in a second position ( 4 ), wherein the plate-shaped element ( 2 ) stands vertically in the first position ( 3 ) with a deviation of ±20°, wherein the plate-shaped element ( 2 ) lies horizontally in the second position ( 4 ) with a deviation of ±20°, and wherein the position of the plate-shaped element ( 2 ) is higher in the second position ( 4 ) than a lower edge ( 23 ) of the plate-shaped element ( 2 ) in the first position ( 3 ).

9. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the shaft axis and rotational axes of all of the levers ( 11 - 15 ) are aligned horizontally.

10. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the third lever ( 13 ) is connected to the fourth lever ( 14 ) at a third connecting point ( 21 ), and the carrier device ( 16 ) is connected to the fourth lever ( 14 ) at a fourth connecting point ( 22 ), wherein the fixed axis ( 18 ) is disposed between the third and fourth connecting point ( 21 , 22 ).

11. The device according to claim 1 , characterized by a fifth lever ( 15 ) which is connected rotatably to the third lever ( 13 ) and rotatably to the holding device ( 9 ), wherein the holding device ( 9 ) is guided in a linearly movable manner on the carrier device ( 16 ).

12. The device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the holding device ( 9 ) is fixedly connected to the carrier device ( 16 ).
