Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bänderstrecke zum Transport und zur Verlangsamung von Falzprodukten zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Stationen eines Falzapparates, insbesondere zwischen einem Falzklappzylinder und einer Längsfalzeinrichtung oder einer Auslegestation, mit mindestens zwei aufeinanderfolgenden, mit gegeneinander abgestuften Geschwindigkeiten angetriebenen Abschnitten, die aus jeweils einem oberen und einem unteren Bändersatz mit jeweils mehreren, parallelen Bändern und jeweils mindestens einer in Transportrichtung vorderen und einer in Transportrichtung hinteren Bandwalze bestehen, von denen zumindest eine der in Transportrichtung vorderen Bandwalzen des in Transportrichtung hinteren, schneller laufenden Abschnitts höhenmäßig einstellbar gelagert ist.The invention relates to a belt section for transporting and slowing down folding products between two successive stations of a folding apparatus, in particular between a folding cylinder and a longitudinal folding device or a delivery station, with at least two successive sections driven at mutually graded speeds, each consisting of an upper and a lower one Belt set with several parallel belts each and at least one in front in the direction of transport and a belt roller at the rear in the transport direction, of which at least one of the belt rollers at the front in the transport direction of the section running at the rear and running faster in the transport direction is adjustable in height.

Eine Anordnung dieser Art ist aus der DE-OS 27 50 792 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Anordnung sind die beiden, mit gegeneinander abgestuften Geschwindigkeiten angetriebenen Abschnitte jedoch mit Abstand hintereinander angeordnet. Dazwischen sind sogenannte Leitzungen vorgesehen, die eine einwandfreie Füh- rung und Übergabe bewerkstelligen sollen. Diese Leitzungen bestehen aus schmierarmem Kunststoff und stellen daher verhältnismäßig aufwendige Bauteile dar. Ganz abgesehen davon unterliegen jedoch die Kanten dieser Leitzungen während des Betriebs einem rasanten Verschleiß, was nicht nur eine unerwünschte Beanspruchung der vorbeigehenden Produkte ergibt, sondern im Laufe der Zeit auch zur Bildung von Zwischenräumen führt, welche die Ursache von Störungen sein können. Es besteht hierbei ersichtlich die Gefahr, daß die an solchen Zwischenräumen vorbeigeführten Produkte hieran hängen bleiben und gestaucht werden können. Die Folge davon sind ein Produktstau und dabei einhergehend mit dem hohem Makulaturanfall nicht unbeträchtliche Maschinenstillstandszeiten. Dem kann zwar dadurch begegnet werden, daß die genannten Leitzungen häufig ausgetauscht werden. Der hiermit verbundene Aufwand sowohl hinsichtlich der Bereitstellung dieser aus schmierarmem Kunststoff und damit aus einem wertvollen Werkstoff bestehenden Leitzungen, als auch hinsichtlich der laufenden Verschleißüberwachung und der Montage und Demontage ist jedoch sehr groß und wirkt sich negativ auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit der Gesamtanordnung aus.An arrangement of this type is known from DE-OS 27 50 792. In this known arrangement, however, the two sections which are driven at mutually graded speeds are arranged at a distance from one another. Therebetween so-called guide tongues are provided which run proper leadership g and are intended to accomplish handover. This Leitzun g s consist of schmierarmem plastic and are therefore relatively expensive components are. Not to mention, however, the edges are subject to this guide tongues during operation a rapid wear, which not only results in an unwanted stress on passing products, but over time also to Formation of gaps leads, which can be the cause of disturbances. There is clearly a danger here that the products passed by such gaps get caught on them and can be compressed. The result of this is a product jam and, along with the high amount of waste, machine downtimes that are not inconsiderable. This can be countered by the fact that the mentioned guide tongues are exchanged frequently. The hereby onerous both in terms of providing these g of schmierarmem plastic and thus a valuable material existing Leitzun s, and in terms of ongoing wear monitoring and the installation and However, disassembly is very large and has a negative impact on the economy of the overall arrangement.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung unter Vermeidung der Nachteile der bekannten Anordnungen eine Bänderstrecke eingangs erwähnter Art zu schaffen, die ohne Leitzungen auskommt und bei der dennoch eine einwandfreie Führung und schonende Handhabung der Produkte sichergestellt ist.Proceeding from this, it is therefore the object of the present invention, while avoiding the disadvantages of the known arrangements, to create a belt section of the type mentioned at the outset which does not need guide tongues and which nevertheless ensures that the products are guided and handled gently.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gelingt gemäß der Erfindung in überraschend einfacher Weise dadurch, daß die jeweils aufeinanderfolgenden Abschnitte der Bänderstrecke seitlich zumindest um ihre Breite gegeneinander versetzte Bänder aufweisen und mit den einander zugewandten Endbereichen zinkenartig ineinandergeschoben sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in a surprisingly simple manner in that the successive sections of the belt section have belts which are offset from one another at least by their width and are pushed into one another with the end regions facing one another in a prong-like manner.

Diese Maßnahmen ergeben einen überlappten Übergangsbereich zwischen den mit gegeneinander abgestuften Geschwindigkeiten laufenden Abschnitten, die somit nahtlos ineinander übergehen.-Leitzungen sowie der hiermit verbundene Aufwand hinsichtlich Bereitstellung, Überwachung und Wartung können daher in vorteilhafter Weise entfallen. Infolge der gegenseitigen Überschneidung der beiden, mit gegeneinander abgestuften Geschwindigkeiten angetriebenen Abschnitte werden die hiervon zu transportierenden Produkte in vorteilhafter Weise unter Beibehaltung ihrer Zwangsführung sanft abgebremst und auf die geringere Geschwindigkeit des jeweils in Transportrichtung vorderen Abschnitts verzögert, was eine saubere und exakte Übergabe bei schonender Produktbehandlung gewährleistet. Die somit auf eine geringere Geschwindigkeit gebrachten Produkte behalten dabei in vorteilhafter Weise ihre Ausrichtung bei, so daß in der Regel auf eine nachfolgende Ausrichtung entweder ganz verzichtet werden kann oder eine solche nur noch in äußerst geringem Umfange durchgeführt werden muß. Dennoch erweisen sich die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen hinsichtlich ihres konstruktiven und herstellungstechnischen Aufwands als äußerst einfach. Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile sind demnach insbesondere in ihrer Wirtschaftlichkeit zu sehen.These measures result in an overlapped transition area between the sections running at mutually graded speeds, which thus merge seamlessly into one another. Guide tongues and the associated effort in terms of provision, monitoring and maintenance can therefore advantageously be omitted. As a result of the mutual overlap of the two sections, which are driven at mutually graded speeds, the products to be transported are advantageously braked gently while maintaining their positive guidance and decelerated to the lower speed of the respective front section in the transport direction, which results in a clean and exact transfer with gentle product handling ge ensures. The products thus brought to a lower speed advantageously maintain their alignment, so that a subsequent alignment can generally either be dispensed with altogether, or such an alignment only has to be carried out to an extremely small extent. Nevertheless, the measures according to the invention prove to be extremely simple in terms of their design and manufacturing complexity. The advantages that can be achieved with the invention can therefore be seen in particular in their economy.

In vorteilhafter Weiterbildung der übergeordneten Maßnahmen können die mit jeweils gegeneinander abgestuften Geschwindigkeiten angetriebenen Abschnitte derart zinkenartig ineinander geschoben sein, daß der Abstand der einander jeweils übergreifenden Bandwalzen zu beiden Seiten der Bänderstrecke unterschiedlich, vorzugsweise im Bereich des oberen Bändersatzes größer als im Bereich des unteren Bändersatzes ist. Diese Maßnahmen ergeben in vorteilhafter Weise eine gegenseitige Versetzung der Bandwalzen, so daß die Elastizität der-Bandführung trotz der erfindungsgemäßen Überschneidung ihrer Abschnitte auf ihrer gesamten Länge erhalten bleibt. Zweckmäßig kann dabei die auf der Seite des größeren Bandwalzenabstands vorgesehene vordere Bandwalze des hinteren Abschnitts in der Höhe verstellbar gelagert sein. Diese Maßnahme ergibt in vorteilhafter Weise einen verhältnismäßig langen Keil zwischen den jeweils den größeren Abstand aufweisenden, einander benachbarten Bandwalzen und ermöglicht somit eine sehr sanfte Einstellbarkeit der Verzögerung und Übergabe der Produkte. Der jeweils kleinere Bandwalzenabstand kann dabei zweckmäßig etwa der jeweils maximal zu verarbeitenden Produktlänge entsprechen.In an advantageous development of the higher-level measures, the sections driven at mutually graded speeds can be pushed into one another in a prong-like manner such that the distance between the overlapping belt rollers on both sides of the belt section differs, preferably in the area of the upper belt set than in the area of the lower belt set . These measures result in a mutual displacement of the belt rollers in an advantageous manner, so that the elasticity of the tape guide according to the invention in spite of their Überschneidun g portions over their entire length is maintained. The front belt roll of the rear section provided on the side of the larger belt roll spacing can expediently be adjustable in height. This measure advantageously results in a relatively long wedge between each of the adjacent band rollers, which have the greater distance, and thus enables the delay and transfer of the products to be adjusted very gently. The smaller band roller spacing can expediently et wa correspond to the maximum product length to be processed.

Zweckmäßig kann die der höhenverstellbar gelagerten vorderen Bandwalze des hinteren Abschnitts benachbarte hintere Bandwalze des vorderen Abschnitts ebenfalls höhenverstellbar, vorzugsweise um dieselbe Achse schwenkbar gelagert sein. Diese Maßnahme ermöglicht eine noch weiter gehende Feineinstellung der Verzögerung und reibungslosen Übergabe.The rear band roller of the front section, which is adjacent to the height-adjustable front band roller of the rear section, can also be height-adjustable, preferably pivotally mounted about the same axis. This measure enables the delays to be fine-tuned even further and the transfer to be carried out smoothly.

In Fällen, in denen trotz der sauberen und exakten Übergabe der zu transportierenden Produkte etwa zur Bewerkstelligung einer hochgenauen Taktung dieser Produkte ein Anlaufanschlag vorgesehen ist, kann dieser vorteilhaft aus einer außerhalb des Übergabebereichs zwischen jeweils zwei Abschnitten der Bänderstrecke angeordneten, über die Maschinenbreite durchgehenden Welle mit seitlich gegeneinander versetzten, zwischen jeweils zwei Bändern hindurchgreifenden Nocken bestehen. Die Verwendung einer Welle gestattet in vorteilhafter Weise eine hohe konstruktive Freizügigkeit, da hierbei die die Bänder aufnehmenden Rollen zur Bildung eines Knicks zwischen jeweils zwei Nocken durchgreifen können. Zweckmäßig können dabei diese Nocken jeweils als radial vorstehende Finger von auf der durchgehenden Welle angeordneten, gegenüber den Bändern auf Lücke gesetzten Scheiben ausge-bildet sein. Eine weitere zweckmäßige Maßnahme kann darin bestehen, daß die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Nocken gegenüber der Transportgeschwindigkeit des zugeordneten vorderen Abschnitts leicht reduziert ist, was einen sicheren Anschlag ergibt.In cases where, despite the clean and exact transfer of the products to be transported, a starting stop is provided, for example to achieve a highly precise timing of these products, this can advantageously be carried out from a shaft which is arranged outside the transfer area between two sections of the belt section and passes through the machine width laterally offset against each other, there are cams passing between two bands. The use of a shaft advantageously allows a high degree of structural freedom, since in this case the rollers holding the strips can pass through between two cams to form a kink. Suitably, these cams can in each case arranged as a radially projecting fingers of on the through shaft, opposite the bands with a gap set discs g e-forms to be. Another useful measure can be that the peripheral speed of the cams is slightly reduced compared to the transport speed of the associated front section, which results in a secure stop.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und zweckmäßige Fortbildungen der übergeordneten Maßnahmen ergeben sich aus der nachstehenden Beschreibung eines Ausführungsbeispiels anhand der Zeichnung in Verbindung mit den restlichen Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous refinements and expedient further developments of the superordinate measures result from the following description of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the drawing in conjunction with the remaining subclaims.

Die Zeichnung enthält eine schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Bandführung mit zwei ineinandergeschobenen Abschnitten.The drawing contains a schematic representation of a tape guide according to the invention with two sections pushed into one another.

Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte, aus den Abschnitten 1 und 2 bestehende Bänderstrecke kann etwa einem nicht näher dargestellten Falzklappenzylinder eines Falzapparats nachgeordnet sein und zu einem ebenfalls nicht näher dargestellten Schaufelrad einer Auslegestation oder unter ein Falzschwert zur Erzeugung eines dritten Falzes führen. Die Transportrichtung ist durch den Pfeil T angedeutet. Der grundsätzliche Aufbau und die Wirkungsweise eines Falzapparats bzw. der vorstehend umrissenen Elemente eines Falzapparats sind an sich bekannt und bedürfen daher keiner weiteren Erläuterung mehr. Die Transportgeschwindigkeit des in Transportrichtung hinteren Abschnitts 1 entspricht der Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit des vorgeordneten Organs, hier der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit des vorgeordneten Falzklappenzylinders. Die Geschwindigkeit des weiteren Abschnitts 2 der dargestellten Bänderstrecke soll gegenüber dieser Geschwindigkeit des Abschnitts 1 abgestuft sein, was eine 50 %ige Verzögerung der zu transportierenden Produkte ergibt. Das von der dargestellten Bänderstrecke beaufschlagte Organ, hier das Schaufelrad der Auslegestation oder das Schwertfalzwerk können daher in vorteilhafter Weise mit gegenüber der Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit des Falzklappenzylinders um die Hälfte reduzierter Geschwindigkeit laufen, was sehr erwünscht ist. Entsprechend dem Verhältnis der Geschwindigkeitsabstufung zwischen den Abschnitten 1 und 2 wird die Produktstromlänge verkürzt. Es müssen daher ausreichende Lücken zwischen den einzelnen, unverzögerten Produkten vorhanden sein. Bei sogenannter Sammelproduktion, bei welcher jedes zweite Produkt fehlt, ist dementsprechend eine 50 %ige Verkürzung und somit auch eine 50 %ige Produktverzögerung möglich, auch wenn nur eine Bänderstrecke zur Verfügung steht. Bei noch stärkerer Verzögerung und/oder bei Einfachproduktion sind zur Erzeugung entsprechender Lücken zwischen jeweils zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Produkten zwei oder mehrere Bänderstrecken vorzusehen, die alternativ beaufschlagt werden. Bezogen auf Einfachproduktion ohne Lücken zwischen jeweils zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Produkten ergibt sich dabei die Anzahl der benötigten Bänderstrecken dadurch, daß diese dem reziproken Werkt des Verhältnisses der Geschwindigkeit zwischen dem ersten und dem letzten Abschnitt einer Bänderstrecke entspricht.The belt section shown in the drawing, consisting of sections 1 and 2, can be arranged downstream of a folding jaw cylinder of a folding apparatus (not shown in more detail) and lead to a bucket wheel of a delivery station (also not shown in more detail) or under a folding sword to produce a third fold. The direction of transport is indicated by the arrow T. The basic structure and the mode of operation of a folder or the elements of a folder outlined above are known per se and therefore require no further explanation. The transport speed of the rear section 1 in the transport direction corresponds to the working speed of the upstream organ, here the peripheral speed of the upstream folding jaw cylinder. The speed of the further section 2 of the illustrated belt section should be graduated compared to this speed of section 1, which results in a 50% delay in the products to be transported. The organ acted upon by the illustrated belt section, here the paddle wheel of the Ausle g estation or the sword folding unit can therefore advantageously with respect to the working speed of the Falzklappenzylin run at half the speed, which is very desirable. The product stream length is shortened in accordance with the ratio of the speed gradation between sections 1 and 2. There must therefore be sufficient gaps between the individual, undelayed products. In so-called collective production, in which every second product is missing, a 50% reduction and therefore a 50% product delay is possible, even if only one belt section is available. In the event of an even greater delay and / or in the case of simple production, two or more belt sections, which are acted upon alternatively, must be provided in order to generate corresponding gaps between two successive products in each case. Based on simple production without gaps between two successive products, the number of belt sections required results from the fact that this corresponds to the reciprocal work of the ratio of the speed between the first and the last section of a belt section.

Die Abschnitte 1 und 2 der Bänderstrecke bestehen aus jeweils einem oberen und einem unteren Bändersatz, die ihrerseits wiederum aus mehreren parallelen endlosen Bändern 3 bestehen, die mit Abstand nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Der Abstand zwischen jeweils zwei einander benachbarten Bändern soll dabei zumindest der Bandbreite entsprechen. Die Bänder 3 des oberen und des jeweils zugeordneten unteren Bändersatzes sind so aneinander angestellt, daß die dazwischen gelangenden Produkte in Richtung des Pfeils R transportiert werden. Der Verlauf der Bänder 3 wird durch Bandwalzen definiert, von denen im vorliegenden Zusammenhang insbesondere die in Transportrichtung vorderen, mit 4 bezeichneten Bandwalzen des in Transportrichtung hinteren Abschnitts 1 und die in Transportrichtung hinteren, mit 5 bezeichneten Bandwalzen des in Transportrichtung vorderen Abschnitts 2 von Bedeutung sind. Die Abschnitte 1 und 2 sind hier im Stoßbereich nicht mit Abstand hintereinander angeord- net, sondern zinkenartig ineinandergeschoben. Die Bänder 3 des vorderen Abschnitts 2 greifen dabei in die durch den Bandabstand gebildeten Lücken zwischen den Bändern 3 des hinteren Abschnitts 1 ein und umgekehrt. Die Bänder 3 der Abschnitte 1 bzw. 2 sind dabei dementsprechend auf Lücke gesetzt, d.h. zumindest um die jeweilige Bandbreite seitlich gegeneinan- der versetzt angeordnet, was die genannte Verzinkung ergibt. Die Abschnitte 1 und 2 sind dabei zweckmäßig so weit ineinangeraeschoben, daß die hinteren Bandwalzen 5 des vorderen Abschnitts 2 von der durch die um die vorderen Bandwalzen 4 des hinteren Abschnitts 1 herumlaufenden Bändern 3 jeweils gebildeten Schleife umfaßt sind und umgekehrt. Dies ermöglicht in vorteilhafter Weise die Verwendung durchgehender Walzen. Die vorstehenden Maßnahmen ergeben in vorteilhafter Weise praktisch einen nahtlosen, keine vorstehenden Kanten mehr aufweisenden Übergang zwischen den Abschnitten 1 und 2, was sich nicht nur schonend auf die zu transportierenden Produkte auswirkt, sondern auch als höchst wartungsfreundlich erweist.Sections 1 and 2 of the belt section each consist of an upper and a lower belt set, which in turn consist of a plurality of parallel endless belts 3, which are arranged next to one another at a distance. The distance between two adjacent bands should at least correspond to the bandwidth. The belts 3 of the upper and the respectively associated lower belt set are placed against one another in such a way that the products that come between them are transported in the direction of the arrow R. The course of the belts 3 is defined by belt rolls, of which the present one Context in particular the belt rollers at the front, designated 4 in the transport direction of the rear section 1 in the transport direction and the belt rollers at the rear, designated 5 in the transport direction, of the front section 2 in the transport direction are important. The sections 1 and 2 are not consecutively pushed into each other here in the joint area at a distance of g eord- net, but zinc like. The bands 3 of the front section 2 engage in the gaps formed by the band gap between the bands 3 of the rear section 1 and vice versa. The belts 3 of the sections 1 and 2 are accordingly set to the gap, that at least laterally ge to the respective bandwidth g eneinan- the offset, resulting in said galvanizing. The sections 1 and 2 are expediently pushed into each other so far that the rear belt rollers 5 of the front section 2 are surrounded by the loop formed by the belts 3 running around the front belt rollers 4 of the rear section 1 and vice versa. This advantageously enables the use of continuous rolls. The above measures advantageously result in a practically seamless transition from sections 1 and 2, which no longer has any protruding edges, which not only has a gentle effect on the products to be transported, but also proves to be extremely easy to maintain.

Die einander zugeordneten oberen und unteren Bandwalzen 4 bzw. 5 sind zweckmäßig nicht einander gegenüberliegend angeordnet, sondern in Transportrichtung gegeneinander versetzt, was eine hohe Elastizität der Bänderstrecke ergibt, so daß in vorteilhafter Weise auch verschieden starke Produkte ohne nennenswerte Einstellarbeiten transportiert werden können. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die einander jeweils benachbarten oberen bzw. unteren Bandwalzen 4, 5 so gegeneinander versetzt, daß sich im Bereich der oberen Bändersätze der Bänderstrecke ein größerer Walzenabstand als im Bereich der unteren Bändersätze der Bänderstrecke ergibt. Der Abstand der beiden unteren Bandwalzen 4, 5 entspricht dabei zweckmäßig etwa der auf dem vorgeordneten Falzklappenzylinder maximal verarbeitbaren Produktlänge, was einen zuverlässigen Eingriff ergibt. Zur Bewerkstelligung einer einfachen Dosierbarkeit der in dem durch den Überschnei- dungsbereich gebildeten Übergabebereich gleichzeitig wirksamen Beschleunigungs- und Bremskräfte ist die auf der Seite des größeren Bandwalzenabstands vorgesehene, hier die in Transportrichtung vordere, obere Bandwalze 4 des in Transportrichtung hinteren Abschnitts 1, in ihrer Höhe verstellbar gelagert. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel wird dies mittels eines die Bandwalze 4 aufnehmenden, um die Achse 6 schwenkbar gelagerten Schwenkarms 7 bewerkstelligt. Alle übrigen Bandwalzen können praktisch unverstellbar montiert sein. Durch die Höhenverstellbarkeit der vorderen oberen Bandwalze 4 läßt sich im Bereich des in Transportrichtung hinteren Abschnitts 1 der Bänderstrecke ein Auslaufkeil einstellen, dessen Spitze praktisch die der höhenverstellbaren Walze 4 benachbarte hintere Bandwalze 5 des vorderen Abschnitts 2 bildet. Mit Hilfe dieses einstellbaren Auslaufkeils läßt sich eine ruckfreie Übergabe der zu transportierenden Produkte von einem Abschnitt zum nächsten, mit kleinerer Geschwindigkeit laufenden Abschnitt erreichen. Zur weiteren Verfeinerung dieser Einstellung ist im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel auch die hintere obere Bandwalze 5 des in Transportrichtung vorderen Abschnitts 2 höhenverstellbar gelagert, was hier ebenfalls mittels eines um die Achse 6 schwenkbaren Schwenkarms 7 bewerkstelligt wird. Die Achse 6 befindet sich dabei in der Mitte zwischen den beiden Walzen 4 und 5, so daß sich in etwa gleich lange Schwenkarme 7 ergeben. Zum Ausgleich der Bandspannung können ebenfalls schwenkbar gelagerte Bandwalzen vorgesehen sein, wie bei 8 angedeutet ist.The mutually assigned upper and lower belt rollers 4 and 5 are expediently not arranged opposite one another, but offset from one another in the transport direction, which results in a high elasticity of the belt section, so that in an advantageous manner products of different strengths can also be transported without any significant adjustment work. In the illustrated embodiment, the respectively adjacent upper and lower belt rolls 4, 5 are offset from one another in such a way that there is a greater roll spacing in the area of the upper belt sets of the belt section than in the area of the lower belt sets of the belt section. The distance between the two lower belt rolls 4, 5 suitably corresponds approximately to the maximum product length that can be processed on the upstream folding jaw cylinder, which results in a reliable intervention. In order to accomplish a simple controllability of simultaneously effective in the b by the Ü erschnei- extension region formed handover region Beschleunigun g s- and braking forces is provided on the side of the larger strip rolling distance, here the front in the conveying direction, upper belt roller 4 of the rear in the direction of transport section 1 , adjustable in height. In the exemplary embodiment shown, this is accomplished by means of a swivel arm 7 which receives the band roller 4 and is pivotably mounted about the axis 6. All other belt rollers can be mounted practically unadjustable. Due to the height adjustability of the front upper belt roll 4, an outlet wedge can be set in the region of the rear section 1 of the belt section in the transport direction, the tip of which practically forms the rear belt roll 5 of the front section 2 adjacent to the height-adjustable roll 4. With the help of this adjustable outlet wedge, the products to be transported can be transferred smoothly from one section to the next section running at a lower speed. To further refine this In the exemplary embodiment shown, the rear upper belt roll 5 of the front section 2 in the transport direction is also adjustable in height, which is also accomplished here by means of a swivel arm 7 which can be pivoted about the axis 6. The axis 6 is located in the middle between the two rollers 4 and 5, so that approximately equal arms 7 result. To compensate for the belt tension, swivel-mounted belt rollers can also be provided, as indicated at 8.

Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist dem durch die gegenseitige Überlappung der Abschnitte 1 und 2 gebildeten Übergabebereich zur Bewerkstelligung einer exakten Taktung der im Übergabebereich verzögerten Produkte ein als Ganzes mit 9 bezeichneter Anlaufanschlag nachgeordnet, dessen Anschlagkante 10 den Transportweg der Bänder 3 des in Transportrichtung vorderen Abschnitts 2 schneidet. Der Anlaufanschlag 9 besteht aus einer durchgehenden Welle 11, auf die im Abstand der Lücken zwischen den Bändern 3 des Abschnitts 2 angeordnete Scheiben 12 aufgesetzt sind, die ihrerseits zur Bildung einer Anlaufkante 10 einen oder mehrere, in radialer Richtung vorstehende Finger tragen, welche zwischen den Bändern 3 hindurchgreifen. Diese Finger benachbarter Scheiben 12 sind so aufeinander ausgerichtet, daß sich der gewünschte Anschlag ergibt. Gleichzeitig erfahren die an die Anlaufkante 10 anlaufenden Produkte hierbei eine Ausrichtung, sofern dies erforderlich ist. Die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Anlaufkante 10 ist gegenüber der Transportgeschwindigkeit des Abschnitts 2 leicht, etwa um 1 - 2 %, reduziert, was einen zuverlässigen Anschlag der Produkte ergibt. Zweckmäßig kann die Geschwindigkeit des Anlaufanschlags 9 einstellbar sein, was eine individuelle Anpassung an die Verhältnisse des Einzelfalls ermöglicht. Die Verwendung von auf eine durchgehende Welle 11 aufgesetzten Scheiben 12 gestattet in vorteilhafter Weise eine sehr gedrängte Bauweise. Zwischen den Scheiben 12 können dabei in vorteilhafter Weise andere Elemente angeordnet sein, wie im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel anhand der Bandrollen 13 angedeutet ist,-über welche die Bänder 3 des in Transportrichtung vorderen Abschnitts 2 so umgelenkt sind, daß sich im Bereich der Überschneidung der Abschnitte 1 und 2 etwa gleiche Bandrichtungen, d.h. deckende Transportebenen ergeben, was für eine reibungslose, nahtlose Übergabe der Produkte wichtig ist. Die Bandrollen 13 können zweckmäßig einzeln auf zwischen die Scheiben 12 eingreifenden, hier nicht näher dargestellten, vorzugsweise schwenkbar gelagerten, in ihrer Schwenkstellung einstellbaren Laschen gelagert sein.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the transfer area formed by the mutual overlap of sections 1 and 2 is followed by a start stop designated as a whole by 9, the stop edge 10 of which intersects the transport path of the belts 3 of the front section 2 in the transport direction . The start stop 9 consists of a continuous shaft 11, on which are placed disks 12 spaced between the gaps between the bands 3 of section 2, which in turn form one or more fingers protruding in the radial direction to form a start edge 10, which fingers extend between the Reach bands 3 through. These fingers of adjacent disks 12 are aligned so that the desired stop results. At the same time, the products approaching the leading edge 10 experience an alignment, if this is necessary. The peripheral speed of the leading edge 10 is slightly reduced, for example by 1-2%, compared to the transport speed of the section 2, which is a reliable stop for the pro products results. The speed of the start stop 9 can expediently be adjustable, which enables an individual adaptation to the circumstances of the individual case. The use of disks 12 placed on a continuous shaft 11 advantageously allows a very compact design. In this case, other elements can advantageously be arranged between the disks 12, as is indicated in the exemplary embodiment shown with the aid of the tape rolls 13, by means of which the tapes 3 of the section 2 which is at the front in the transport direction are deflected such that in the region of the overlap of the sections 1 and 2 approximately the same belt directions, ie covering transport levels, which is important for a smooth, seamless transfer of the products. The tape rolls 13 can expediently be mounted individually on tabs which engage between the disks 12 and are not shown in detail here, preferably pivotably mounted and are adjustable in their pivoting position.

Die vorstehend beschriebene Bänderstrecke umfaßt lediglich zwei Abschnitte, deren Geschwindigkeiten um 50 % gegeneinander abgestuft sind. Es wäre aber auch denkbar, mehrere derartige Bänderstrecken mit entsprechenden Überschneidungen hintereinander anzuordnen, wobei sich bei kleinerer Einzelabstufung der Geschwindigkeit insgesamt doch eine noch stärkere Geschwindigkeitsreduzierung erreichen läßt.The belt section described above comprises only two sections, the speeds of which are graded by 50% against one another. However, it would also be conceivable to arrange a plurality of such belt sections with corresponding overlaps one after the other, with an even greater speed reduction overall being possible with a smaller individual gradation of the speed.
