Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kollator zum Sammeln und Ablegen von Signaturen mit einer umlaufenden, ersten Aufnahmevorrichtung mit einer Vielzahl von zur Außenseite offenen Ausnahmen, in die die vereinzelten Signaturen eingelegt und aus denen sie zu Buchblock vereinigt an eine Transportvorrichtung mit rückwärtigen Anschlägen für jeden Buchblock abgegeben werden.The invention relates to a collator for collecting and storing signatures with a circumferential, first receiving device with a plurality of exceptions open to the outside, into which the individual signatures are inserted and from which they are combined to form a book block and delivered to a transport device with rear stops for each book block .

Signaturen sind Buchteile, die in einem derartigen Kollator zu kompletten Buchblocks, d.h. zu ungebundenen Büchern, kollationiert werden.Signatures are parts of a book, which in such a collator form complete book blocks, i.e. to be bound books.

Ein Kollator mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen ist in der deutschen Patentschrift 37 25 225 beschrieben. Die erste Aufnahmevorrichtung ist dort als Flügelrad ausgebildet, dessen Flügel gesteuert verschwenkt werden können.A collator with the features mentioned in the introduction is described in German Patent 37 25 225. The first receiving device is designed there as an impeller, the blades of which can be pivoted in a controlled manner.

Dieser bekannte Kollator hat sich an und für sich bewährt. Die Anzahl der zu einem Buchblock zu vereinigenden Signaturen ist dort bestimmt durch die Höhe der rückwärtigen Anschläge der Transportvorrichtung (Zapfentransportkette). Diese Anschläge haben aber eine feste Höhe.This well-known collator has proven itself in and of itself. The number of signatures to be combined into a book block is determined there by the height of the rear stops of the transport device (pin transport chain). However, these attacks have a fixed height.

Ausgehend von einem Kollator mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen liegt demgegenüber somit der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, diesen so auszugestalten, daß die jeweils gewünschte Anzahl der Signaturen mit dem Kollator zu den Buchblocks gesammelt werden kann. Hierzu sei erläutert, daß die Zahl der Signaturen, die einen der Buchblöcke ergeben von Auftrag zu Auftrag im allgemeinen schwankt. Die Schwankungsbreite liegt Signaturen, die einen der Buchblöcke ergeben von Auftrag zu Auftrag im allgemeinen schwankt. Die Schwankungsbreite liegt häufig zwischen sieben und siebzehn Signaturen für jeden Buchblock.Starting from a collator with the features mentioned in the foregoing, the object of the invention is to design it in such a way that the desired number of signatures can be collected with the collator to form the book blocks. It should be explained that the number of signatures that form one of the book blocks generally fluctuates from order to order. The range of fluctuation lies in signatures that generally result in one of the book blocks fluctuating from order to order. The fluctuation range is often between seven and seventeen signatures for each book block.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß die Höhe der Anschläge einstellbar ist.To achieve this object, the invention is characterized in that the height of the stops is adjustable.

Durch diese Merkmale wird die Erfindungsaufgabe gelöst.The object of the invention is solved by these features.

Die Merkmale der Ansprüche 2 bis 4 ermöglichen eine besonders hohe Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit des Kollators, verbunden mit einer exakten Ausrichtung der Signaturen. Die Förderung der Signaturen erfolgt nämlich praktisch ohne Einwirkung von Fliehkräften, wie dies beim eingangs genannten Stand der Technik der Fall war.The features of claims 2 to 4 enable a particularly high working speed of the collator, combined with an exact alignment of the signatures. The signatures are promoted practically without the influence of centrifugal forces, as was the case with the prior art mentioned at the beginning.

Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Kollator können somit die Buchblocks bei hoher Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit genau ausgerichtet werden. Der Kollator zeichnet sich durch eine fühlbare Leistungssteigerung gegenüber bekannten Kollatoren aus. Die Signaturen werden nach dem Verlassen des Bändersystems des vorgeschalteten Vereinzelers abgebremst. Es wird eine definierte Anzahl der Signaturen in der richtigen Reihenfolge zu dem Buchblock gesammelt. Es erfolgt ein exaktes Umschalten nach Erreichen der vorbestimmten Seitenzahl zum nächsten Buchblock. Der Buchblock wird sicher auf dem Förderbandsystem abgelegt, das zur Bindestraße führt.With the collator according to the invention, the book blocks can thus be precisely aligned at high working speeds. The collator is characterized by a noticeable increase in performance compared to known collators. The signatures are slowed down after leaving the conveyor system of the upstream singler. A defined number of signatures are collected in the correct order for the book block. There is an exact switchover after reaching the predetermined number of pages to the next book block. The book block is placed securely on the conveyor belt system that leads to the binding road.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert, aus dem sich weitere wichtige Merkmale ergeben. Die Figur zeigt schematisch eine Seitenansicht der wichtigsten Bauelemente eines erfindungsgemäßen Kollators.The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment from which further important features result. The figure schematically shows a side view of the most important components of a collator according to the invention.

Ein Strangpaket 1 läuft in Richtung eines Pfeiles 2 zu einem Querschneider 3, wo es zu Signaturen 4 quergeschnitten wird.A strand package 1 runs in the direction of an arrow 2 to a cross cutter 3, where it is cross-cut into signatures 4.

Anschließend gelangen die Signaturen in einen Vereinzeler 5, der aus einem angetriebenen Bänderpaar 6, 6 besteht, die mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit unlaufen, so daß die Signaturen 4 voneinander getrennt werden.The signatures then enter a separator 5, which consists of a driven pair of belts 6, 6, which run at an increased speed, so that the signatures 4 are separated from one another.

Anschließend gelangen die vereinzelten Signaturen 4 zu einer als Ganzes bei Position 7 angedeuteten Aufnahmevorrichtung, die eine Vielzahl von Aufnahmen (Fächern) 8 hat, in die jeweils eine der Signaturen 4 eingelegt wird. Die Aufnahmen werden vorzugsweise wie in der eingangs erwähnten Patentschrift 37 25 225 beschrieben, durch seitliche Stäbe gebildet, die an einem Förderband 9 befestigt sind. Sie können dabei um ihren Befestigungspunkt über eine nicht gezeigte Steuerung verschwenkt werden, so daß sie sich auch mehr oder weniger öffnen, wie zeichnerisch dargestellt.Subsequently, the separated signatures 4 arrive at a recording device indicated as a whole at position 7, which has a multiplicity of recordings (compartments) 8, in each of which one of the signatures 4 is inserted. The receptacles are preferably formed, as described in the aforementioned patent specification 37 25 225, by side bars which are fastened to a conveyor belt 9. They can be pivoted about their attachment point via a control, not shown, so that they also open more or less, as shown in the drawing.

Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Aufnahmen 8 um einen geringen Winkel nach oben geneigt und das Abgabeende des Vereinzelers 5 hat dieselbe Neigung, so daß die Signaturen problemlos in die Aufnahmen eingelegt werden können.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the receptacles 8 are inclined upward by a small angle and the discharge end of the separator 5 has the same inclination, so that the signatures can be inserted into the receptacles without problems.

Sie werden von einer als Ganzes bei Pos. 10 angedeuteten Transporteinrichtung aus den Aufnahmen 8 entnommen. Die Transporteinrichtung besteht aus einem umlaufenden Förderband 11 mit Anschlägen 12 für die Rückseiten der Buchblocks 13.They are removed from the receptacles 8 by a transport device indicated as a whole at item 10. The transport device consists of a rotating conveyor belt 11 with stops 12 for the back of the book blocks 13.

Die Figur zeigt auch, daß die Anzahl der zu den Buchblocks 13 abgesammelten und weiter transportierten Signaturen 4 von der Höhe der Anschläge 12 abhängt.The figure also shows that the number of signatures 4 collected and transported to the book blocks 13 depends on the height of the stops 12.

Um diese Anzahl der Signaturen 4, die jeweils zu einem Buchblock 13 gesammelt werden, den jeweiligen Erfordernissen anzupassen, ist die Höhe der Anschläge 12 einstellbar.In order to adapt this number of signatures 4, which are each collected into a book block 13, to the respective requirements, the height of the stops 12 can be adjusted.

Die Schräglage der Gefache oder Taschen 8 der Aufnahme- und Fördervorrichtung 7 und die Geschwindigkeiten der Aufnahmevorrichtung 7 und der Transporteinrichtung 10 sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Zapfen oder Anschläge 12 und der jeweils zu sammelnde Buchblock 13 nicht verklemmen.The inclined position of the compartments or pockets 8 of the receiving and conveying device 7 and the speeds of the receiving device 7 and the transport device 10 are coordinated with one another in such a way that the pins or stops 12 and the book block 13 to be collected do not jam.
