Abstract: A conveyor includes a frame having first and second spaced frame elements, first and second drive rollers between the frame elements, and a flexible belt mounted between the first and second drive rollers that has a load bearing portion and a return portion, the return portion extending between the first and second frame elements. The conveyor has a first end portion including the first drive roller, a second end portion including the second drive roller and a central portion including a midpoint between the first drive roller and the second drive roller, and the central portion of the conveyor includes a lift-table receiving space between the first drive roller and the second drive roller and between the first frame element and the second frame element, and the return portion of the belt extends between the load bearing portion and the lift-table-receiving space.

Abstract: A device for stacking sheets includes a layboy, a transfer conveyor, a main conveyor, a diverting apparatus, and an accumulator. The main conveyor is pivotably mounted to a base to that it may be pivoted between an upper position and a lower position. The diverting apparatus has a plurality of diverting slats pivotably mounted to a support shaft so that the slats may be raised and lowered. When the main conveyor is in the upper position, the diverting slats are not activated, that is, they are not raised. Accordingly, when sheets are transferred along and discharged from the main conveyor, the trajectory of the sheets is basically the same as the angle of the conveyor. In contrast, when the main conveyor is in a lower position, the slats are raised. Accordingly, discharged sheets are diverted so that the trajectory of the sheets is different than the angle of the conveyor. The slats may be placed at any chosen angle. By adjusting the angle of discharge of sheets with respect to the main conveyor, interlock jamming is minimized in the accumulator. The sheet stacking device, including the diverting apparatus, is controlled by a programmable logic controller interfaced with a touch screen.

Abstract translation: 用于堆叠纸张的装置包括铺布机，转印输送机，主输送机，转向装置和累加器。 主输送机可枢转地安装到基座，以便可以在上部位置和下部位置之间枢转。 转向装置具有可枢转地安装到支撑轴的多个转向板条，使得板条可以升高和降低。 当主输送机处于上部位置时，转向板条不被激活，也就是说，它们不会升高。 因此，当纸张沿着主输送机传送并排出时，纸张的轨迹基本上与输送机的角度相同。 相反，当主输送机处于较低位置时，板条升高。 因此，排出的纸张被转向，使得纸张的轨迹不同于输送机的角度。 板条可以放置在任何选定的角度。 通过调整纸张相对于主传送带的排出角度，蓄能器中的互锁卡住最小化。 包括转向装置的片材堆叠装置由与触摸屏接口的可编程逻辑控制器控制。
