Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for collecting folded printed sheets according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a device is in the 'normally a component of a saddle stitcher or a three-blade cutting machines, and the actual stapling and cutting apparatus is arranged upstream.
- the folded printed sheets to be collected are each individually pulled off from a stack, so that the fold forms the trailing edge of the removed printed sheet. This is then fed to the collecting conveyor in such a way that the fold of the printed sheet in the conveying direction of the collecting conveyor either comes to rest on a traveling chain or on a stationary rail, in which case driven drivers advance the printed sheet along the rail.
- the collecting conveyor of the known device thus resembles a running "clothesline" with printed sheets fed at a distance from one another.
- the speeds of the feed conveyor and the collecting conveyor are relatively modest upper limits, which are hardly sufficient to cope with the output of a rotary press.
- the proposed device has the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
- the delivery areas of the feed conveyor essentially in the same direction as the conveying direction of the collecting conveyor, the transfer of the printed sheets to the latter is not associated with a sudden change in the direction of movement.
- the receiving saddles of the collecting conveyor are arranged transversely to its conveying direction, that is to say in the manner of ladder rungs, considerably more sets of printed sheets can be collected on a certain conveying path. In other words, this means that the collecting conveyor can have a lower conveying speed while the performance remains the same, or vice versa, and can collect a considerably larger number of sets of printed sheets at the same conveying speed.
- the collecting conveyor 11 conveying in the direction of the arrow 14 can be assigned as many feeding conveyors as corresponds to the number of printed sheets that the device has to collect.
- the collecting conveyor 11 essentially has two parallel, endlessly revolving chains 15, 16. At regular intervals 15, 16 receiving saddles 17 are attached to these chains, which extend at right angles to the chains 15, 16 and protrude or protrude laterally beyond the chain 16. 2 that the receiving saddles 17 have essentially the shape of a prism with a triangular cross section, one of the tips of the triangle pointing away from the chains 15, 16.
- the feeders 12 and 13 can be designed as described in CH-PS 592 562 or in the largely identical US-PS 3 955 667, which is why they are shown only very schematically in the drawing and a detailed description should not be necessary at this point. However, it should be noted that the delivery areas 18, 19 of the feed conveyors 12, 13 run in the same direction as the conveying direction of the collecting conveyor 11, as indicated by the arrows 20.
- Each of the grippers 21, 22 of the feed conveyors 12, 13 holds a folded printed sheet 23 or 24 at its fold.
- the printed sheets are not folded in the middle, i.e. seen from the fold, one part of the sheet is longer than the other, overlapped by this part. This is called a print sheet with a "pre-fold" in the graphic arts industry.
- the feed conveyors 12, 13 convey the printed sheets to be collected in a kind of fanned out scale formation, that is to say in a much denser sequence than if there was a distance between the individual printed sheets in the conveying direction.
- Each of the delivery areas 18, 19 of the feed conveyors 12, 13 is associated with an opening device 25 or 26, shown very schematically in FIG. 2, by means of which printed sheets are opened before being transferred to the collecting conveyor.
- These opening devices 25, 26 each have a gripper belt 27, 28 which runs at a rotational speed which corresponds to the conveying speed of the feeders 12, 13.
- the grippers 29, 30 of the gripper belts 27, 28 are arranged at the same distance from one another as the grippers 21 and 22 of the corresponding feed conveyors.
- the grippers 29, 30 serve to temporarily hold the trailing end edges of the longer parts of the folded printed sheets, while the underlying end edge of the shorter parts of the printed sheets remain free.
- a small conveyor belt 31, 32 connects to the gripper belts 27, 28 and rotates at a higher speed than the conveying speed of the feeders 12, 13.
- these receiving saddles 17 can also be attached to the chains in such a way that their leading and trailing surfaces do not have the same angle to the chains 15, 16 as shown, but rather such that the leading surface of the receiving saddles is steeper than the trailing surface .
- a stapler and / or a cutting device can be provided at the end of the collecting conveyor (not shown) in order to produce a multi-page, stapled and cut publication from the collected printed sheets.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Sammeln von gefalteten Druckbogen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1. Eine solche Einrichtung bildet in der'Regel einen Bestandteil eines Sammelhefters oder eines Dreimesserschneidautomaten und ist dem eigentlichen Heft- bzw. Schneid-Apparat vorgeschaltet.The invention relates to a device for collecting folded printed sheets according to the preamble of claim 1. Such a device is in the 'normally a component of a saddle stitcher or a three-blade cutting machines, and the actual stapling and cutting apparatus is arranged upstream.
Bei einer bekannten Einrichtung dieser Art werden die zu sammelnden, gefalteten Druckbogen von jeweils einem Stapel einzeln abgezogen, so dass der Falz die nachlaufende Kante des abgezogenen Druckbogens bildet. Dieser wird dann dem Sammelförderer so zugeführt, dass der Falz des Druckbogens in die Förderrichtung des Sammelförderers entweder auf eine mitlaufende Kette oder auf eine ortsfeste Schiene zu liegen kommt, wobei im letzteren Falle angetriebene Mitnehmer den Druckbogen entlang der Schiene vorschieben. Der Sammelförderer der bekannten Einrichtung gleicht somit einer laufenden "Wäscheleine" mit im Abstand voneinander vorgeschobenen Druckbogen.In a known device of this type, the folded printed sheets to be collected are each individually pulled off from a stack, so that the fold forms the trailing edge of the removed printed sheet. This is then fed to the collecting conveyor in such a way that the fold of the printed sheet in the conveying direction of the collecting conveyor either comes to rest on a traveling chain or on a stationary rail, in which case driven drivers advance the printed sheet along the rail. The collecting conveyor of the known device thus resembles a running "clothesline" with printed sheets fed at a distance from one another.
Da sich die Sätze der so gesammelten Druckbogen wegen der nachfolgenden Beabreitung (heften oder beschneiden) nicht überlappen dürfen - wie etwa in einem eine Rotationspresse verlassenden Schuppenstrom - muss die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit des Sammelförderers der bekannten Einrichtung vergleichsweise gross sein, soll der Ausstoss einer Rotationspresse auch nur näherungsweise bewältigt werden. Einer hohen Vorschubgeschwindigkeit des Sammelförderers steht aber der Umstand entgegen, dass die Zuförderer, d.h. die sogenannten "Anleger" der bekannten Einrichtungen eine Zuführrichtung haben, die mehr oder weniger rechtwinklig zur Vorschubrichtung des Sammelförderers steht. Bei der Uebergabe vom Zuförderer an den Sammelförderer erfahren die Druckbogen daher eine plötzliche Aenderung ihrer Bewegungsrichtung, die sich auf die Druckbogen umso verhängnisvoller auswirkt je höher die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Zuförderer und die Vorschubgeschwindigkeit des Sammelförderers sind. Daher sind bei den bekannten Einrichtungen dieser Art den Geschwindigkeiten der Zuförderer und des Sammelförderers relativ bescheidene obere Grenzen gesetzt, die kaum ausreichen, um den Ausstoss einer Rotationspresse zu bewältigen.Since the sets of the printed sheets collected in this way must not overlap due to the subsequent spreading (stapling or trimming) - such as in a stream of shed leaving a rotary press - the feed rate of the collecting conveyor of the known device must be comparatively high, the output of a rotary press should only be approximate to be dealt with. The fact arises from a high feed rate of the collecting conveyor against that the feed conveyors, ie the so-called "feeders" of the known devices, have a feed direction that is more or less perpendicular to the feed direction of the collecting conveyor. When transferring from the feed conveyor to the collecting conveyor, the printed sheets therefore experience a sudden change in their direction of movement, which has a disastrous effect on the printing sheets the higher the conveying speed of the feeding conveyor and the feed rate of the collecting conveyor. Therefore, in the known devices of this type, the speeds of the feed conveyor and the collecting conveyor are relatively modest upper limits, which are hardly sufficient to cope with the output of a rotary press.
Dies mag auch der Grund sein, weshalb bei der bekannten Einrichtung die Druckbogen einzeln von einem Stapel abgezogen werden. Es müssen somit die Druckbogen nach Verlassen der Druckpresse zunächst gestapelt werden, um danach von diesen Stapeln einzeln wieder abgezogen zu werden.This may also be the reason why the printed sheets are individually removed from a stack in the known device. The printed sheets must therefore first be stacked after leaving the printing press, in order to then be individually pulled off from these stacks.
Es ist daher ein Zweck der Erfindung, eine Einrichtung der im Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 genannten Art zu schaffen, die diese Nachteile weitgehend vermeidet und die - wenigstens mit einem Teil ihrer Zuförderer und wenn gewünscht - direkt an eine eine Schuppenformation ausstossende Druckpresse angeschlossen werden kann.It is therefore a purpose of the invention to provide a device of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 which largely avoids these disadvantages and which - at least with a part of its feeders and if desired - can be connected directly to a printing press which ejects a scale formation.
Zu diesem Zweck weist die vorgeschalgene Einrichtung die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 angegebenen Merkmale auf.For this purpose, the proposed device has the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
Da die Abgabebereiche der Zuförderer im wesentlichen gleichsinnig wie die Förderrichtung des Sammelförderers verlaufen, ist die Uebergabe der Druckbogen an den letzteren nicht mit einer plötzlichen Aenderung der Bewegunsrichtung verbunden. Da ausserdem die Aufnahmesättel des Sammelförderers quer zu dessen Förderrichtung angeordnet sind, also in der Art von Leitersprossen, können auf einer bestimmten Förderstrecke erheblich mehr Sätze von Druckbogen gesammelt werden. Mit anderen Worten heisst dies, dass der Sammelförderer bei gleichbleibender Leistungsfähigkeit eine geringere Fördergeschwindigkeit haben kann oder umgekehrt, bei gleicher Fördergeschwindigkeit eine erheblich grössere Anzahl Sätze von Druckbogen sammeln kann.Since the delivery areas of the feed conveyor essentially in the same direction as the conveying direction of the collecting conveyor, the transfer of the printed sheets to the latter is not associated with a sudden change in the direction of movement. In addition, since the receiving saddles of the collecting conveyor are arranged transversely to its conveying direction, that is to say in the manner of ladder rungs, considerably more sets of printed sheets can be collected on a certain conveying path. In other words, this means that the collecting conveyor can have a lower conveying speed while the performance remains the same, or vice versa, and can collect a considerably larger number of sets of printed sheets at the same conveying speed.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der vorgeschlagenen Einrichtung ist nachstehend an Hand der Zeichnung näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the proposed device is described below with reference to the drawing.
Es zeigt:
- Fig. 1 eine schematisierte Draufsicht auf einen Teil einer Sammeleinrichtung, und
- Fig. 2 eine schematische Seitenansicht auf die Sammeleinrichtung der Fig. 1
- Fig. 1 is a schematic plan view of part of a collection device, and
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic side view of the collecting device of FIG. 1
Bei der dargestellten Einrichtung 10 erkennt man einen Sammelförderer 11 und zwei Zuförderer 12, 13. Dem in Richtung des Pfeiles 14 fördernden Sammelförderer 11 können so viele Zuförderer zugeordnet sein, als der Anzahl Druckbogen entspricht, die die Einrichtung zu sammeln hat. Der Sammelförderer 11 weist im wesentlichen zwei parallele, endlos umlaufende Ketten 15, 16 auf. In regelmässigen Abständen sind an diesen Ketten 15, 16 Aufnahmesättel 17 befestigt, die sich rechtwinklig zu den Ketten 15, 16 erstrecken und seitlich über die Kette 16 hinaus vorstehen oder vorkragen. Der Fig. 2 ist zu entnehmen, dass die Aufnahmesättel 17 im wesentlichen die Form eines Prismas mit dreieckigem Querschnitt aufweisen, wobei eine der Spitze des Dreiecks von den Ketten 15, 16 weg weist.In the
Die Zuförderer 12 und 13 können wie in der CH-PS 592 562 oder in der weitgehend inhaltsgleichen US-PS 3 955 667 beschrieben ausgebildet sein, weswegen sie in der Zeichnung nur sehr schematisch eingezeichnet sind und sich an dieser Stelle eine nähere Beschreibung erübrigen dürfte. Zu beachten ist hingegen, dass die Abgabebereiche 18, 19 der Zuförderer 12, 13 gleichsinnig zur Förderrichtung des Sammelförderers 11 verlaufen, wie mit den Pfeilen 20 angedeutet.The
Jeder der Greifer 21, 22 der Zuförderer 12, 13 hält einen gefalteten Druckbogen 23 bzw. 24 an seinem Falz fest. In diesem Beispiel sind die Druckbogen nicht mittig gefalzt, d.h. vom Falz aus gesehen ist der eine Teil des Druckbogens länger als der andere, von diesem überlappte Teil. Man nennt dies im graphischen Gewerbe ein Druckbogen mit "Vorfalz". Wie aus den Fig. 1 und 2 ersichtlich, fördern die Zuförderer 12, 13 die zu sammelnden Druckbogen in einer Art aufgefächerter Schuppenformation, also in wesentlich dichterer Folge als wenn zwischen den einzelnen Druckbogen in Förderrichtung gesehen ein Abstand vorhanden wäre.Each of the
Jedem der Abgabebereiche 18, 19 der Zuförderer 12, 13 ist eine in Fig. 2 sehr schematisch dargestellte Oeffnungsvorrichtung 25 bzw. 26 zugeordnet, mit welcher Druckbogen vor der Uebergabe an den Sammelförderer geöffnet werden.Each of the
Diese Offenungsvorrichtungen 25, 26 weisen je ein Greiferband 27, 28 auf, welches mit einer Umlaufgeschwindigkeit läuft, die der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Zuförderer 12, 13 entspricht. Die Greifer 29, 30 der Greiferbänder 27, 28 sind in gleichen Abständen voneinander angeordnet, wie die Greifer 21 bzw. 22 der entsprechenden Zuförderer. Die Greifer 29, 30 dienen dazu, die nachlaufenden Endkanten der längeren Teile der gefalzten Druckbogen zeitweilig festzuhalten, während die darunter liegende Endkante der kürzeren Teile der Druckbogen frei bleiben. An die Greiferbänder 27, 28 schliessen sich je ein kleines Förderband 31, 32 an, das mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit umläuft als die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Zuförerer 12, 13. Sobald die Endkante des kürzeren Teils der Druckbogen 23, 24 auf diese Förderbänder 31, 32 gerät, wird diese freie Endkante schneller vorgeschoben, was zur Folge hat, dass der kürzere Teil der Druckbogen nach unten ausgebaucht wird, worauf diese freie Endkante auf die eine Seite eines herankommenden Aufnahmesattels 17 fällt. Dies ist in Fig. 2 links mit der gestrichelten Linie 33 für den Aufnahmesattel 17' verdeutlicht. Gibt dann der Greifer 29, 30 am Ende des Greiferbandes 27 bzw. 28 die Endkante des längeren Teils des Druckbogens 23 bzw. 24 frei, ist inzwischen der entsprechende Aufnahmesattel 17 weitergewandert, so dass die Endkante dieses längeren Teils des Druckbogens auf die andere Seite des Aufnahmesattels fällt. Nun können die Greifer 21 bzw. 22 der Zuförderer die gefalteten Druckbogen frei geben, so dass diese unter der Wirkung des Eigengewichtes rittlings auf den entsprechenden Aufnahmesattel 17 zu liegen kommen.These
Um den Einfluss des "Fahrtwindes" auf die Druckbogen möglichst zu verringern, ist die Stelle, an der die Greifer 21 bzw. 22 der Zuförderer 12 bzw. 13 geöffnet werden, möglichst nahe an der Umlaufbahn der Aufnahmesättel 17 angeordnet. Andererseits können diese Aufnahmesättel 17 auch derart an den Ketten befestigt sein, dass ihre vorlaufenden und nachlaufenden Flächen nicht - wie dargestellt - den gleichen Winkel zu den Ketten 15, 16 aufweisen, sondern so, dass die vorlaufende Fläche der Aufnahmesättel steiler ist als die nachlaufende Fläche.In order to reduce the influence of the "driving wind" on the printed sheets as much as possible, the point at which the
Wie einleitend dargetan, kann am nicht dargestellten Ende des Sammelförderers ein Heftapparat und / oder ein Schneidapparat vorgesehen sein, um aus den gesammelten Druckbogen eine mehrseitige, geheftete und geschnittene Druckschrift zu erzeugen.As explained in the introduction, a stapler and / or a cutting device can be provided at the end of the collecting conveyor (not shown) in order to produce a multi-page, stapled and cut publication from the collected printed sheets.
