Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for conveying printed products according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the invention further relates to a device for conveying printed products according to the preamble of claim 15.
- a printed product is conveyed, for example, in a first section of the conveying path with a main surface perpendicular to the conveying direction and in a second section by turning the gripper into a new position so that the main surface runs, for example, transversely or parallel to the direction of conveyance.
- a printed product can be used during the
- Conveying can also be rotated through an angle of, for example, 90 degrees or 180 degrees.
- the possibility of controlling a printed product either not at all or rotating it by 180 degrees during the request also allows the orientation of the printed products to be sorted, so that after such a sorting process, for example, adjacent printed products are arranged opposite each other along the conveying path.
- Printed products can also be sorted, for example, in such a way that ten printed products are arranged in the same way and the next ten printed products are arranged in opposite directions along the conveying path, so that groups of similarly arranged printed products are formed.
- the grippers can be actuated to effect a rotation about the axis of rotation by a variety of possible arrangements, for example by a link control acting on the gripper, or by a guide means acting on the printed product.
- the gripper can also have a spring element in order to automatically bring the gripper back into a basic position after rotation.
- the rotatable grippers can be fixedly arranged on differently configured conveying means, for example on a traction means, on a chain, or on a loose and individually movable carriage.
- the carriages can also be coupled to one another by means of a towing connection, the towing connection between the individual carriages, as known for example from EP 0 309 702, can be formed by an elastically shortenable and extendable spring element.
- the main surface of a printed product is rotated into a position running parallel to the conveying direction, so that the outer surface or the inner surface can be individually labeled with a writing head.
- the printed products are rotatably arranged in a controlled manner in a conveyor line in such a way that they can be aligned with the gripped side edge or the main surfaces parallel to the alignment of a processing line and can be delivered to this.
- a printed product is preferably held in the center in the region of a side edge by a gripper.
- the printed product can also be held on the outside center by a gripper.

- Each gripper 3 can also be rotated about an axis of rotation D, so that the side edge la or the main surfaces 2 of a printed product 1 is held rotatable with respect to the conveying direction F.
- the main surfaces 2 of the supplied printing products 1 have a position running perpendicular to the conveying direction F.
- each individual printed product 1 is turned by rotating the gripper 3
- Rotation axis D is rotated at a constant mutual distance S2 into a position in which the main surfaces 2 form an acute angle with the conveying direction.
- no rotation about the axis of rotation D is carried out, so that the printed products 1 running transversely to the conveying direction F essentially have mutually parallel main surfaces 2.
- the printed products 1 are rotated back into the original position before the entry into the first section Z2 with respect to the conveying direction F, so that the main surfaces 2 of the printed products 1 at the end of the section Z4 again run perpendicular to the conveying direction F. .
- the printed products 1 are rotated back into the original position before the entry into the first section Z2 with respect to the conveying direction F, so that the main surfaces 2 of the printed products 1 at the end of the section Z4 again run perpendicular to the conveying direction F. .
- the printed products 1 are rotated back into the original position before the entry into the first section Z2 with respect to the conveying direction F, so that the main surfaces 2 of the printed products 1 at the end of the section Z4 again run perpendicular to the conveying direction F.

- the twisting can also be done without support from the guide means 5.
- the guide means 5 can be arranged on one or both sides of the conveyor chain 4a and act as a guide or support on at least one of the two main surfaces 2 of a printed product 1. This action is only possible within a partial section in which the side edge la is not perpendicular to the conveying direction F.
- the grippers 3 can also be attached individually to movable single carriages 4c.

- the axis of rotation D in turn runs essentially perpendicular to the side edge la and essentially perpendicular to the direction of travel F.
- the axis of rotation D could also be oriented transverse to the direction of travel F.

- FIG. 2d shows a side view of a further exemplary embodiment of a gripper 3, the conveyor chain 4a, in contrast to the example according to FIG. 2a, having a conveying direction F that deviates from the horizontal.
- the condition applies that the printed product 1 can be rotated by the gripper 3 about an axis of rotation D running essentially perpendicular to the held side edge la, the axis of rotation D also being aligned with respect to the conveying direction F in such a way that during the rotation about the Rotation axis D the angle between the conveying direction F and the normal N running perpendicular to the main surface 2 of the printed product 1 is changed.
- the gripper 3 can have an additional pivot axis D2, which runs perpendicular to the viewing plane in the view shown, for example to hold a printed product 1 as shown, regardless of the course of the conveying direction F, in an approximately vertical position.
- the grippers 3 are attached to individual carriages 4c which are moved along the conveying path Z on a guide rail 4b.
- the grippers 3 convey the printed products 1 in an inclined position transverse to the conveying direction F to a section Z2 of the conveying path.
- the printed products 1 are rotated from the basic position into such a position that the main surfaces 2 run parallel to the conveying direction F, or that the angle ⁇ between the normal N of the main surface 2 and the conveying direction F is 90 degrees.
- the distance between the individual wagons 4c and thus the individual grippers 3 can be varied. The at the beginning of the
- Sub-section Z2 small distance S3 between the grippers 3 is increased while passing through the sub-section Z2, so that the grippers 3 located in the sub-section Z3 have a larger distance S1, this distance S1 being chosen at least so large that successive printed products 1 do not touch each other.
- the grippers 3 are rotated further in the same direction of rotation as in the subsection Z2, at the same time

- the direction of rotation of the gripper 3 is selected at the transition point between the sections Z2, Z3 in accordance with the desired end position of the side edge 1b such that, at the end of section ZI, the side edges 1b are arranged, for example, alternately left and right with respect to the direction of travel F. , or that, for example, groups are formed in such a way that for
- Example three successive printed products have a side edge 1b arranged quite with respect to the direction of conveyance F and the next three following printed products have a side edge 1b arranged with respect to the direction of conveyance F to the left.
- 3b is of course also suitable for specifically controlling the alignment of printed products 1 with respect to the direction of conveyance F, for example by the printed products being oriented in a random arrangement with respect to the position of the side edge 1b Section Z2 arrive, the position of the side edges 1b being determined with a sensor, and the printed products 1 being rotated in a controlled manner while passing through section ZI in such a way that the side edges 1b leave the section Z3 in a predeterminable arrangement with respect to the conveying direction F.

- the printed products 1 can be labeled on their outer surface with a writing head 6, for example in order to apply a personalized text or an address.
- FIG. 4a A possible continuation of the flow according to FIG. 4a is shown in FIG.
- FIG. 5 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a stream of printed products 1 conveyed along a conveyor rail 4b by means of individual carriages 4c, the grippers 3 in the first subsection Z2 being at a constant distance S1 with respect to the conveying direction F. The distance becomes curved during the
- Partial section Z3 is enlarged, so that the grippers 3 in the subsequent rectilinear section Z4 have a larger distance S2 than the distance S1.
- the grippers 3 are rotated about the axis of rotation D in the opposite direction to the curvature in such a way that all printed products 1 arranged in the conveying path Z shown run essentially parallel to one another. The product position is thus maintained despite a change in the conveying direction F.

- Sub-section Z6 arriving in a basic position printed products 1 are rotated in a first sub-section Z2 by the grippers 3 about the axis of rotation D such that the total width of the conveying flow is smaller than the width 8a of the passage in the obstacle 8, so that the printed products 1 the bottleneck without contact happen.
- the printed products 1 are rotated back into the basic position in a partial section Z4, so that they return to their basic position in the partial section Z5 and can be fed to further processing.
- the printed products 1A, 1B, IC and the grippers 3 are rotated by increasing the gripper distance by 90 degrees, the conveying paths A, B, C also approaching one another, so that the conveying paths A, B, C in the subsection Z3 have a mutual distance M2 which is reduced with respect to the distance M1, the printed products 1A, 1B, IC being held in the partial section Z3 with main surfaces 2 running parallel to the conveying direction F.
- the arrangement according to FIG. 7 allows the distances between the conveying paths A, B, C in the subsection Z3 to be greatly reduced by rotating the printed products 1, so that the conveying paths A, B, C can be arranged running very close to one another.
- the funded printed products 1A, 1B, IC can be separated, for example, in a subsequent subsection Z9, so that desired product groups, as represented, for example, by collating, into one Stacks with the product sequence 1A / 1B / 1C can be brought together.
