Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Aufteilen eines Produktstromes aus Druckexemplaren an mehrere Auslegestationen, der die Druckexemplare über eine Bandleitung zuführbar sind, in der die voneinander beabstandet zugeführten Druckexemplare unter Einsatz eines rotierenden Ablenksegmentes einer ersten oder zweiten Bandleitung zugeleitet werden, die im Bereich des Ablenksegmentes jeweils eine Bandumlenkrolle aufweisen und daß jeweils ein Band der die Druckexemplare zuführenden Bandleitung Bestandteil der ersten und zweiten Bandleitung ist.The invention relates to a device for dividing a product stream from printed copies to a plurality of delivery stations, to which the printed copies can be fed via a ribbon line, in which the spaced-apart printed copies are fed to a first or second ribbon line using a rotating deflection segment, each in the region of the deflection segment have a belt deflection roller and that in each case a belt of the belt line feeding the printed copies is part of the first and second belt lines.

Aus der europäischen Patentanmeldung 0 054 963 ist es bekannt, die vertikal über eine Bandleitung zugeführten, voneinander beabstandeten Druckexemplare mit Hilfe von zwei gegeneinander rotierenden Ablenkelementen in Ausgangsbandleitungen einzuführen. Dabei wird zwischen den rotierenden Ableitsegmenten eine feststehende Zunge verwendet, deren Spitze jeweils zur Vermeidung von Exemplarbeschädigungen durch eines der Ablenksegmente abgedeckt wird, so daß das jeweils ankommende Druckexemplar entweder links oder rechts der feststehenden Zunge abgedrängt wird und in die zugeordnete nachfolgende Bandleitung gelangt. Die Verwendung von zwei rotierenden Ablenksegmenten ist konstruktiv aufwendig voluminös und dementsprechend teuer.From European patent application 0 054 963 it is known to insert the printed specimens fed vertically via a ribbon line and at a distance from one another into output ribbon lines with the aid of two deflecting elements rotating against one another. A fixed tongue is used between the rotating deflecting segments, the tip of which is covered by one of the deflecting segments in order to avoid damage to the specimen, so that the incoming print copy is either pushed to the left or right of the fixed tongue and reaches the associated downstream ribbon line. The use of two rotating deflecting segments is structurally complex and voluminous and accordingly expensive.

Eine Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Gattung ist aus der DE-A-26 09 136 bekannt. Bei dieser müssen die aufzuteilenden Produkte waagerecht zugeführt werden. Außerdem können sie gegen Umlenkrollen stoßen, was zu Fehifunktionen führen kann.A device of the type described at the outset is known from DE-A-26 09 136. With this, the products to be divided must be fed horizontally. They can also hit pulleys, which can lead to malfunctions.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, mit einer rotierenden Vorrichtung und ohne die Verwendung einer separate Zunge eine Aufteilung von vertikal einlaufenden, voneinander beabstandeten Druckexemplaren zu ermöglichen, so daß diese jeweils in eine von zwei Ausgangsbandleitungen gelangt.The object of the invention is to enable a division of vertically incoming, spaced-apart printed copies with a rotating device and without the use of a separate tongue, so that each of these reaches one of two output ribbon lines.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung. Diese zeigt :This object is achieved by the application of the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Further developments result from the subclaims and from the description in connection with the drawing. This shows:

In schematischer Darstellung die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Aufteilen eines Produktstromes aus Druckexemplaren in zwei Bandleitungen.In a schematic representation, the device according to the invention for dividing a product stream from printed copies into two ribbon lines.

Aus der DE-PS 1 786 264 ist es zwar bereits bekannt, ohne die Verwendung einer feststehenden Zunge Druckexemplare in zwei Bandleitungen aufzuteilen, jedoch werden auch hier zwei rotierende, segmentartige Abdrängkörper benötigt. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung hingegen ist lediglich ein rotierendes Element erforderlich, das vorzugsweise zwei oder mehrere Ablenk- bzw. Abdrängkörper aufweisen kann. Auch wird keine separate Ableitzunge benötigt.From DE-PS 1 786 264, it is already known to divide printed copies into two ribbon lines without the use of a fixed tongue, but two rotating, segment-like pushing bodies are also required here. In the device according to the invention, however, only a rotating element is required, which can preferably have two or more deflecting or pushing bodies. A separate derivation line is also not required.

Wie die Zeichnung erkennen läßt, werden im Abstand voneinander Druckexemplare 1 und 2 etwa senkrecht über eine Bandleitung 3, 4 der dargestellten Aufteilstation zugeführt. Diese besteht im wesentlichen aus einem rotierenden Körper 5, an dem mindestens ein segmentartiges Ablenkelement 6 befestigt ist. Vorzugsweise wird diametrisch zu dem Ablenksegment 6 ein weiteres Ablenksegment 7 verwendet. Die Ablenksegmente 6 und 7 rotieren mit einer bestimmten Geschwindigkeit, die abgestellt ist auf die Geschwindigkeit der ankommenden, vorzugsweise gefalzten Druckexemplare 1 und 2. Durch die Rotation der Ablenksegmente 6 und 7 ergibt sich ein Rotationskreis 8. Es versteht sich, daß mehrere Bandleitungen und rotierende Körper 5 nebeneinander angeordnet sind, entsprechend der Breite der Druckexemplare.As can be seen in the drawing, printed copies 1 and 2 are fed at a distance from each other approximately vertically via a ribbon cable 3, 4 to the dividing station shown. This essentially consists of a rotating body 5, to which at least one segment-like deflection element 6 is attached. A further deflection segment 7 is preferably used diametrically to the deflection segment 6. The deflection segments 6 and 7 rotate at a certain speed, which is geared to the speed of the incoming, preferably folded printed copies 1 and 2. The rotation of the deflection segments 6 and 7 results in a rotation circle 8. It is understood that several ribbon lines and rotating ones Bodies 5 are arranged side by side, according to the width of the printed copies.

Erfindungsgemäß werden innerhalb des Rotationskreises 8 für Bandleitungen 9 und 10 Umlenkrollen 11 und 12 verwendet und zwar übereinanderliegend. Um die Bandumlenkrolle 11 wird das untere Band 9 der ersten Auslegebandleitung 4, 9 und um die Bandumlenkrolle 12 das Band 10 der unteren Bandleitung 3, 10 geführt. Durch diese Anordnung ergibt sich, daß das rückzuführende Trum der Bandleitung 9 innerhalb des Rotationskreises 8 entgegengesetzt läuft, wie die Druckexemplare 2, die geradlinig durch einen Segmentabschnitt des Rotationskreises 8 geführt werden, während die Druckexemplare 1 bereits vorher durch eines der Segmente 6 oder 7 abgelenkt werden. Bei der vorteilhaften Verwendung zweier gegenüberliegender Ablenksegmente 6, 7 ist es wesentlich, daß die maximale Länge der Druckexemplare nicht größer als deren Weg, d. h. die Sehne, durch den Rotationskreis 8 ist.According to the invention, deflecting rollers 11 and 12 are used within the rotation circle 8 for ribbon cables 9 and 10, and they lie one above the other. The lower belt 9 of the first delivery belt line 4, 9 is guided around the belt guide roller 11 and the belt 10 of the lower belt line 3, 10 is guided around the belt guide roller 12. This arrangement means that the strand of the ribbon line 9 to be returned runs in the opposite direction within the rotation circle 8, as do the print copies 2, which are guided in a straight line through a segment section of the rotation circle 8, while the print copies 1 have previously been deflected by one of the segments 6 or 7 will. In the advantageous use of two opposing deflection segments 6, 7, it is essential that the maximum length of the printed copies is not greater than their path, i. H. the tendon through which the rotation circle is 8.

Somit gelangen die Druckexemplare 1 in die Bandleitung 4, 9 und die Druckexemplare 2 jeweils in die Bandleitung 3, 10.Thus, the printed copies 1 reach the ribbon line 4, 9 and the printed copies 2 each reach the ribbon line 3, 10.

Da das Band 9 in Gegenrichtung von unten kommend im Umlenkbereich innerhalb des Rotationskreises 8 läuft, wird erfindungsgemäß ein Abdecksegment 13 verwendet, das zumindest über die Peripherie der Bandumlenkrolle 11 hinausragt, so daß die geradeauslaufenden Druckexemplare 2 nicht in Berührung mit dem gegenläufigen Band 9 kommen. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Abdecksegment 13 etwa länglich und seitlich auf Rollenträger der beiden Rollen 12 und 11 angeordnet, was vorteilhaft ist.Since the belt 9 runs in the opposite direction from below in the deflection area within the rotation circle 8, a cover segment 13 is used according to the invention, which protrudes at least beyond the periphery of the belt deflection roller 11, so that the straight-running printed copies 2 do not come into contact with the belt 9 in the opposite direction. In the exemplary embodiment, the cover segment 13 is arranged approximately elongated and laterally on the roller carrier of the two rollers 12 and 11, which is advantageous.

Die ankommenden Druckexemplare 1, 2 aus der Leitung 3, 4 werden vor dem Rotationskreis 8 der rotierenden Segmente 6, 7 aufgeteilt und zwar in der Weise, daß beim Vorhandensein eines Segmentes 6 oder 7 im Bereich 14 also kurz vor der Spitze des Abdecksegmentes 13, jeweils die ungeradzahligen Druckexemplare 1 abgelenkt und in die Bandleitung 4, 9 abgeleitet werden. Der trichterartige Einlauf kann in seiner Breite und in seiner Lage variiert werden durch die schwenk- bzw. verschiebbare Bandrolle 16. Wenn nach Ankommen eines Druckexemplares, beispielsweise bei allen geradzahligen Druckexemplaren 2, kein Ablenksegment 6 oder 7 im Einlaufbereich 14 vorhanden ist, laufen die Druckexemplare, hier die Druckexemplare 2, geradeaus in die Auslegebandleitung 3, 10. Wie bereits erwähnt wurde, wird das Band 10 durch die Bandrolle 12 in dem Rotationskreis 8 umgelenkt, so daß zwischen den Bändern 3 und 10 die Druckexemplare 2 geführt um eine Bandrolle 17 zur Auslage gelangen.The incoming print copies 1, 2 from the line 3, 4 are divided in front of the rotation circle 8 of the rotating segments 6, 7 in such a way that when a segment 6 or 7 is present in the area 14, just before the tip of the cover segment 13, in each case the odd-numbered printed copies 1 are deflected and diverted into the ribbon cable 4, 9. The width and position of the funnel-like inlet can be varied by means of the swiveling or displaceable belt roll 16. If, after the arrival of a printed copy, for example for all even-numbered printed copies 2, no deflection segment 6 or 7 is present in the inlet area 14, the printed copies, here the printed copies 2, run straight into the delivery belt line 3, 10. As already mentioned, the belt 10 is deflected by the belt roll 12 in the rotation circle 8, so that between the tapes 3 and 10, the printed copies 2 passed around a tape roll 17 to the display.

Durch die vorteilhafte Führung der die Eingangsbandleitung 3, 4 bildenden Bänder 3 und 4 wird jeweils nur ein zusätzliches Band 9 bzw. 10 verwendet, das im Ablenkbereich 14 durch die Bandrollen 11, 12 in vorteilhafter Weise umgelenkt wird.Due to the advantageous guidance of the belts 3 and 4 forming the inlet belt line 3, 4, only one additional belt 9 or 10 is used, which is deflected in an advantageous manner in the deflection region 14 by the belt rollers 11, 12.
