Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von Druckerzeugnissen durch Einstecken von wenigstens einem Teilprodukt und/oder Beilagen in ein Hauptprodukt, bei dem wenigstens die Hauptprodukte an der Auslage einer Druckmaschine durch umlaufende Greifer einer eine Zwischenspeicheranordnung zur Ein- und Auslagerung von Produkten aufweisenden Förderanlage erfasst und auf Förderpfaden einer aus umlaufenden Einstecktaschen gebildeten Einsteckmaschine zugeführt werden, wobei die Produkte von einem mit der Zwischenspeicheranordnung einlagerunggsseitig verbundenen Transporteur der Förderanlage an der Auslage der Druckmaschine übernommen und an einen mit der Zwischenspeicheranordnung auslagerungsseitig anschliessenden Förderer der Förderanlage übergeben werden.The invention relates to a method for producing printed products by inserting at least one partial product and / or side dishes in a main product, wherein at least the Main products at the display of a printing machine by encircling Gripper of a buffer storage arrangement for on and Outsourcing of products containing conveyor system recorded and on conveyor paths of a formed from rotating pockets Inserting machine are fed, the products of one with the buffer storage einggit connected conveyor of the conveyor at the display of Printing machine and taken to a with the buffer memory arrangement on the downstream side conveyor of the conveyor system be handed over.

Die Produktionsmenge einer Druckmaschine, beispielsweise einer Offsetrotationsdruckmaschine beträgt etwa 80'000 bedruckte Exemplare pro Stunde, die an der Auslage zur Entsorgung der Druckmaschine von Fördereinrichtungen übernommen werden. Lange Zeit wurde die Verarbeitung der von der Druckmaschine gelieferten Produktemenge zwischen 40 und 80'000 Exemplaren pro Stunde über eine Zwischenspeicheranordnung durch eine oder mehrere Einsteckmaschinen bewältigt. Diese Vorgehensweise beansprucht lang dauernde Verarbeitungsprozesse. Die Verwendung einer Zwischenspeicheranordnung ist ausserdem an die Forderung nach einem ununterbrochenen Druckablauf gebunden, sodass bei Störungen an der Einsteckmaschine der Produktefluss auf die Zwischenspeicheranordnung umgeleitet werden kann.The production volume of a printing press, for example one Offset rotary printing press is about 80,000 printed copies per hour at the delivery to dispose of the Printing machine to be taken over by conveyors. For a long time, the processing was delivered by the printing press Quantity of products between 40 and 80,000 copies per Hour via a buffer arrangement by one or more Slotting machines coped. This procedure requires long-lasting processing. The use of a buffer arrangement is in addition to the demand for an uninterrupted printing process tied, so that in case of malfunction of the inserter of Product flow are redirected to the buffer arrangement can.

Zur Einlagerung von Produkten werden u.a. Wickelrollen verwendet.For the storage of products u.a. Winder rolls used.

Grundsätzlich besteht jedoch der Wunsch nach einer Verarbeitung unter Ausschluss der Zwischenspeicherung auf Wickelrollen, durch welche der Druck aufgrund der zwischen den Produkten beim Ein- und Auslagern entstehenden Reibung zum Verschmieren neigt.Basically, however, there is a desire for processing excluding caching on bobbins, by which the pressure due to the between the products Loading and unloading friction tends to smearing.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es somit, ein Verfahren nach der eingangs genannten Art und eine Einrichtung danach zu schaffen, bei denen die Verarbeitungswege verkürzt und schädliche Belastungen durch Zwischenlagerungen erheblich reduziert und Investitionskosten gemindert werden.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a method according to the above and to create a facility where the processing routes are shortened and harmful loads considerably reduced by intermediate storage and investment costs be mitigated.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die falzerfassten Produkte wahlweise vor der Zwischenspeicheranordnung von dem Transporteur auf einem direkten Ueberführungsweg falzvoran an den Förderer abgegeben werden. According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the falzerfassen products optionally before the buffer arrangement from the transporter on a direct transit route falzvoran be delivered to the conveyor.

Damit wird ein die Förderwege zwischen Druckmaschine und Einsteckmaschine verkürzender Bypass benutzt. Dieses Verfahren gestattet selbstverständlich auch die Verarbeitung von Teilprodukten oder Beilagen auf die gleiche Weise.This is one the delivery routes between printing press and inserter shortening bypass used. Of course, this method also allows the processing of partial products or side dishes in the same way.

Durch das erfindungsgemässe Verfahren können die Anforderungen an Einsteckmaschinen erfüllt werden und es lässt sich eine Verarbeitung der Produkte von der Druckmaschine in die Einsteckmaschine ohne Umwege durchführen.By the method according to the invention, the requirements can be met on insertion machines and it can be a processing the products from the press to the inserter without detours.

Vorteilhaft werden die an der Auslage der Druckmaschine von einem Transporteur am Falz übernommenen Produkte auch am Falz an den in die Einstecktaschen einer Einsteckmaschine mündenden Förderer übergeben, wodurch das Handling an den neuralgischen Uebergangsstellen erheblich vereinfacht wird.Are advantageous to the delivery of the printing press of a Transporter at the fold also accepted products at the fold opening into the pockets of a plug-in machine Conveyor passed, making handling at the neuralgic Transition points is greatly simplified.

Das Abgeben der Produkte vom Transporteur erfolgt zweckmässig in einer zur Ueberführungsrichtung etwa parallelen Neigungslage an den Ueberführungsweg.The delivery of products from the carrier is done appropriately in an approximately parallel to the transfer direction inclination position to the overpass.

Zur Anwendung des erfindungsgemässen Verfahrens dient vorzugsweise eine Einrichtung, die aus einer wenigstens die Hauptprodukte mittels umlaufenden Greifern an der Auslage einer Druckmaschine aufnehmenden und auf einem Förderpfad an umlaufende Einstecktaschen einer Einsteckmaschine überführenden Förderanlage besteht, die eine Zwischenspeicheranordnung aufweist, wobei zur Aufnahme der Produkte an der Auslage ein mit der Zwischenspeicheranordnung einlagerungsseitig verbundener Transporteur und auslagerungsseitig der Zwischenspeicheranordnung ein die Einstecktaschen der Einsteckmaschine beschickender Förderer der Förderanlage vorgesehen sind, welche Einrichtung sich erfindungsgemäss dadurch auszeichnet, dass der Transporteur zwischen Auslage und Zwischenspeicheranordnung durch ein an umlaufenden Zugmitteln befestigten Klammern gebildetes, ein- und ausschaltbares Ueberführungsorgan mit dem Förderer verbunden ist.For application of the inventive method is preferably used a device that consists of one of at least the main products by means of rotating grippers on the delivery of a printing press receiving and circulating on a conveyor path Insert pockets of a Einsteckmaschine überführenden conveyor consisting of a latch arrangement, wherein for receiving the products on the display with the buffer arrangement on the storage side connected conveyor and paging side of the latch assembly the pockets of the inserter feeding conveyor the conveyor system are provided, which device according to the invention characterized in that the transporter between Display and buffer arrangement by a on rotating Traction means fastened brackets formed, on and disengageable transfer organ connected to the conveyor is.

In Fig. 1 ist durch Pfeil A die Auslage einer nicht ersichtlichen Druckmaschine und die Richtung des Förderflusses der bedruckten Haupt- oder Teilprodukte 1 veranschaulicht. An die Auslage schliesst eine Annahmestation 2 an, an welcher die ankommenden Produkte 1 von Greifern 3 (siehe Fig. 2) eines Transporteurs 4 einer die Einrichtung 5 mit Produkten 1 versorgenden Förderanlage 6 am Falz erfasst werden.
Vom Transporteur 4 können die an der Auslage A erfassten Produkte 1 über eine abzweigende Einlagerungsstrecke 7 einer aus einem Wickelkern 8 gebildeten Wickelstation 9 zugeführt werden, in welcher sie vorübergehend zu einem Wickel 10 aufgerollt werden. Von der Wickelstation 9 gelangen die Produkte 1 beispielsweise auf Förderbändern 11 an ein Magazin eines vereinfacht durch eine Fördertrommel dargestellten Anlegers 12 überführt werden. Die Fördertrommel zieht die Produkte 1 aus dem darüberliegenden Magazin ab und übergibt sie einem durch strichpunktierte Linien dargestellten Förderer 13 der mit umlaufenden Greifern 14, die die Produkte am Falz erfassen, ausgerüstet ist.
In Fig. 1, the delivery of an unseen printing press and the direction of the conveying flow of the printed main or partial products 1 is illustrated by arrow A. An acceptance station 2 adjoins the delivery, at which the incoming products 1 of grippers 3 (see FIG. 2) of a transporter 4 of a conveyor 6 supplying the device 5 with products 1 are detected at the fold.
From the feed dog 4, the products 1 detected at the delivery A can be fed via a branching storage path 7 to a winding station 9 formed from a winding core 8 in which they are temporarily rolled up into a roll 10. From the winding station 9, the products 1 are conveyed, for example, on conveyor belts 11 to a magazine of an investor 12 shown simplified by a conveyor drum 12. The conveyor drum pulls the products 1 from the overlying magazine and passes them to a conveyor 13 shown by dotted lines of rotating grippers 14, which detect the products at the fold equipped.

Die Greifer 14, deren Förderweg durch Pfeile bezeichnet ist, überführen die Produkte 1 mittels Fächerrad 15 in Einstecktaschen einer Einsteckmaschine 16, in der die Druckerzeugnisse durch Einstecken weiterer Teilprodukte 1 oder Beilagen vervollständigt werden. Am Ende der Beschickungsstrecke der Einsteckmaschine 16 befindet sich eine Entnahmestation 17, durch die die fertigen Druckerzeugnisse den Einstecktaschen entnommen werden. Solche Einrichtungen 5 bzw. solche Verarbeitungsprinzipien und -systeme sind bekannt und werden u.a. von Müller Martini weltweit vertrieben.The grippers 14 whose conveying path is indicated by arrows, transfer the products 1 by means of fan wheel 15 into pockets a plug-in machine 16, in which the printed products completed by inserting additional partial products 1 or supplements become. At the end of the feed line of the inserter 16 is a removal station 17 through which The finished printed products are removed from the pockets become. Such devices 5 or such processing principles and Systems are known and are u.a. by Muller Martini worldwide distributed.

In Fig. 2 wird ein in Fig. 1 mit "X" bezeichneter Ausschnitt der Einrichtung 5 vergrössert dargestellt. Dieser Ausschnitt vermittelt die erfindungsgemässe konstruktive Möglichkeit zur Ueberführung der Produkte 1 von der Auslage A einer Druckmaschine auf eine Einsteckmaschine unter Meidung einer Zwischenspeicherung, d.h., eine Beschickung der Einsteckmaschine auf kürzestem Weg.In Fig. 2 is a designated in Fig. 1 with "X" section the device 5 shown enlarged. This section conveys the inventive design possibility for Transfer of the products 1 from the delivery A of a printing machine on a plug-in machine avoiding caching, i.e., a load of the inserter shortest way.

Die Fig. 2 zeigt u.a. den mit der Auslage A verbundenen Transporteur 4 in einem noch näher zu beschreibenden Ueberführungsbereich der Einrichtung 5. Der Transporteur 4 weist ein mit strichpunktierter Linie angedeutetes, endlos umlaufendes (siehe Fig. 1) Zugmittel 18 -beispielsweise eine Gelenkkette- auf, an dem in einem regelmässigen Abstand -möglicherweise 3 Zoll-Greifer 3 befestigt sind, die gegen ihre Fortbewegung ausgerichtet sind, d.h. die Produkte 1 werden falzvoran mit höherer Geschwindigkeit als der Transporteur 4 den offenen Greifern 3 von hinten zugeführt; eine bekannte Vorgehensweise. Die Greifer 3 werden bei der Entnahme der Produkte 1 relativ kurzfristig geöffnet, weshalb sie nach dem Ueberführungsbereich in geschlossener Verfassung gezeigt sind. Beim Einlaufen in den Ueberführungsbereich, der durch den Transporteur 4 und ein daran förderwirksam anschliessendes Ueberführungsorgan 20 gebildet wird, werden die zuvor am Falz hängend geförderten Produkte 1 an den freien Enden auf einer ebenen Fläche -hier ein Förderband- liegend transportiert, sodass sie bei der Uebernahme durch das Ueberführungsorgan eine relativ stabile Lage einnehmen. Fig. 2 shows u.a. the conveyor connected to the display A 4 in a still to be described transfer area the device 5. The feed dog 4 has a dash-dotted line indicated, endlessly circulating (see Fig. 1) traction means 18, for example, a Gelenkkette-, on at a regular distance - possibly 3 inch grapple 3 are fixed, which aligned against their locomotion are, i. the products 1 become falzvoran with higher Speed as the feed dog 4 the open grippers. 3 fed from behind; a known procedure. The grippers 3 become relatively short in taking the products 1 open, which is why they closed after the transfer area Constitution are shown. When entering the transfer area, the by the conveyor 4 and a promoting transferring subsequent transfer member 20 formed is, the products previously promoted hanging on the fold are 1 at the free ends on a flat surface - here a conveyor belt transported horizontally, so they at the takeover assume a relatively stable position by the transfer organ.

Das zweitletzte von den gezeigten Produkten 1 ist soeben von einer Klammer 21 des Ueberführungsorgans 20 erfasst worden und der Greifer 3 des Transporteurs 4 befindet sich noch in Offensteilung.
Das sich noch im Greifer 3 befindende Produkt 1, das durch das Eigengewicht von der geschleppten in eine hängende Lage ausgeschwenkt ist, weist darauf hin, dass es sich beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel um eine Teilentnahme handelt, d.h. beispielsweise jedes zweite Produkt 1 wird vom Transporteur 4 einer entfernten Verarbeitungsstation zugeführt. Wie schon eingangs erwähnt, lässt sich hier die ganze Produktemenge oder ein Teil -beispielsweise 50%- davon oder kein Produkt, beispielsweise im Störungsfall der Einsteckmaschine, entnehmen bzw. überführen resp. nicht überführen. Der Oeffnungsmechanismus der Fördermittel mit Greifern oder Klammern erfolgt hier mechanisch über auf Steuerkurven auflaufende Rollenhebel. Ersichtlich nimmt die Klammer 21 des Ueberführungsorgans 20 bei der Uebernahme etwa die Richtung des Greifers 3 ein, wobei der obere Klammerarm 22 unbeweglich ist, währenddem der untere Klammerarm 23 eine abgewinkelte Form aufweist, um das bei der Entgegennahme am oberen Klammerarm 22 in der Endposition anliegende Produkt 1 in der Klammer 21 umfassend einspannen zu können. Die Greifer 3 werden im Ueberführungsbereich der Produkte 1 an das Ueberführungsorgan 20 um ein Kettenrad 24 in Gegenrichtung umgelenkt, wogegen die Klammern 23 um ein grösseres Umlenkrad 25 in die entgegengesetzte Richtung umgelenkt werden. Dabei schneiden sich die Umlaufbahn der Klammern 21 und die Bahn der Greifer 3 des Transporteurs 4 im Ueberführungsbereich und die Klammern 21 weisen bei der Uebernahme zumindest annähernd die Geschwindigkeit der Greifer 3 auf. Gleichzeitig ist der Abstand der Klammern 21 grösser gewählt als derjenige der Greifer 3 am Transporteur 4.
The second last of the products 1 shown has just been detected by a bracket 21 of the transfer organ 20 and the gripper 3 of the transporter 4 is still in open division.
The still located in the gripper 3 product 1, which is swung by the weight of the towed in a hanging position, indicates that it is a partial removal in the embodiment shown, ie, for example, every second product 1 is from the feed dog 4 a supplied to the remote processing station. As already mentioned, here the whole amount of product or a part-for example, 50% - of which or no product, for example, in the event of failure of the inserter, remove or convict resp. do not convict. The opening mechanism of the conveying means with grippers or clamps takes place here mechanically via roller cams running on control cams. As can be seen, the bracket 21 of the transfer member 20 at takeover approximately assumes the direction of the gripper 3, the upper clamp arm 22 being immovable while the lower clamp arm 23 has an angled shape to abut that upon receipt at the upper clamp arm 22 in the end position To be able to clamp product 1 in the clamp 21 comprehensively. The grippers 3 are deflected in the transfer region of the products 1 to the transfer member 20 by a sprocket 24 in the opposite direction, whereas the brackets 23 are deflected by a larger deflection wheel 25 in the opposite direction. In this case, the orbit of the clamps 21 and the path of the gripper 3 of the transporter 4 intersect in the transfer area and the clamps 21 have at least approximately the speed of the gripper 3 when they are taken over. At the same time the distance between the brackets 21 is greater than that of the gripper 3 on the feed dog. 4

Darüberhinaus ist die Achse 26 des Umlenkrades 25 in einem Winkel seitlich versetzt zur Drehachse 27 des Umlenkrades 24 der Greifer 3 angeordnet, bedingt durch eine Optimierung des Verlaufs und der Funktion der Greifer 3 und Klammern 21 bei der Uebergabe bzw. Uebernahme der Produkte 1.
Bezüglich der veränderlichen Lage des um eine horizontale Achse beweglich gesteuerten Klammerarmes 23 sei noch bemerkt, dass das abgewinkelte Ende bei Erreichen des Uebergabebereichs etwa senkrecht vor den durch den entsprechenden Greifer 3 des Transporteurs 4 zugeführten Falz eines Produktes 1 in deren Flugbahn eintaucht und das Produkt 1 sukzessive in Gegenrichtung unterläuft, bis er klemmend an dem Rand des Produktes 1 auftrifft. Die Klammer 21 kann beispielsweise durch Federkraft geschlossen gehalten werden.
Moreover, the axis 26 of the guide wheel 25 is laterally offset at an angle to the axis of rotation 27 of the guide wheel 24 of the gripper 3, conditioned by an optimization of the course and the function of the gripper 3 and brackets 21 in the transfer or takeover of the products. 1
With regard to the variable position of the staple arm 23, which is movably controlled about a horizontal axis, it should also be noted that the angled end, when reaching the transfer area, dips approximately perpendicularly in front of the fold of a product 1 fed through the corresponding gripper 3 of the transporter 4 into its trajectory and the product 1 successively undercuts in the opposite direction until it hits the edge of the product 1 by clamping. The clamp 21 can be kept closed, for example by spring force.

Da die Produkte 1 durch die Greifer 3 des Transporteurs 4 im mittigen Falzbereich gefasst sind, greifen die Klammern 21 des Ueberführungsorgans 20 beidseits der Greifer 3 an den Produkten 1 an. Dazu ist das Ueberführungsorgan 20 durch zwei parallel umlaufende Klammerketten 28 ausgebildet.
Findet keine Ueberführung oder eine Teilüberführung an den Förderer 13 statt, dann werden die davon betroffenen Klammern 21 ausgeschaltet; dies kann beispielsweise durch eine gesteuerte, die Klammern 21 seitlich aus ihrem Wirkbereich versetzende, mit einer Klammer 21 verbundenen Steuerrolle erfolgen, welche die Klammer 21 jeweils gegen eine Federkraft seitlich aus dem Wirkbereich versetzt.
Since the products 1 are gripped by the grippers 3 of the transporter 4 in the central fold region, the clamps 21 of the transfer organ 20 engage the products 1 on both sides of the grippers 3. For this purpose, the transfer organ 20 is formed by two parallel circumferential staple chains 28.
If no transfer or partial transfer takes place to the conveyor 13, then the brackets 21 affected by it are switched off; This can be done, for example, by a controlled, the brackets 21 laterally offset from its effective range, connected to a bracket 21 tax role, which each offset the bracket 21 against a spring force from the effective range.

Das Ueberführungsorgan 20 ist vorzugsweise gegenüber der Förderrichtung nach oben abgewinkelt -beispielsweise 15 bis 25°-, sodass auch in dem entfernten Abgabe- bzw. Annahmebereich zwischen Ueberführungsorgan 20 und Förderer ein flacher Uebergang entstehen kann.The transfer member 20 is preferably opposite to the conveying direction angled upwards, for example 15 to 25 °, so that even in the remote dispensing or acceptance area between Transfer organ 20 and conveyor a shallow transition can arise.

Das Abgabeende des Ueberführungsorgans 20, das sich mit der Bahn des Förderers 13 schneidet, befindet sich im oder vor dem unterschlächtigen Förderbereich der parallelen unteren Trums der um Umlenkrollen 29 umlaufenden Zugmittel des Ueberführungsorgans 20.
Die Förderrichtungen des Ueberführungsorgans 20 und des Förderers 13 bilden in dem Abgabe- bzw. Annahmebereich einen spitzen Winkel, -beispielsweise etwa 40°- und der dem beweglichen Greiferteil 31 zugeordnete, nachlaufende Greiferteil 32 der Greifer 14 sowie der mit dem beweglichen Klammerarm 23 nachlaufende Klammerarm 22 der Klammer 21 des Ueberführungsorgans 20 bilden im Abgabe- bzw. Annahmebereich eine gemeinsame Einspannebene.
The discharge end of the transfer member 20, which intersects with the web of the conveyor 13, is located in or in front of the undershot conveying region of the parallel lower runs of the traction means of the transfer organ 20 which revolve around deflection rollers 29.
The conveying directions of the transfer organ 20 and of the conveyor 13 form an acute angle, for example approximately 40 °, in the delivery or acceptance region and the trailing gripper part 32 of the gripper 14 associated with the movable gripper part 31 and the trailing arm trailing the movable clamp arm 23 22 of the bracket 21 of the transfer organ 20 form a common clamping level in the delivery or acceptance area.

Die Ausbildung des Ueberführungsorgans 20 und das Zusammenwirken mit dem Transporteur 4 bzw. dem Förderer 13 gestattet eine taktgenaue Umschaltung auf die gewünschte Produktemenge oder auf eine Unterbrechung der Ueberführung; dies insbesondere bei laufender Zuführung der Produkte 1 von der Auslage der Druckmaschine.The formation of the transfer organ 20 and the cooperation with the conveyor 4 and the conveyor 13 permits one Clock-accurate switching to the desired product quantity or for an interruption of the transfer; especially at 1 products running feeder from the display of the printing press.
