Eine Zuführstation gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist beispielsweise aus DE 938698C bekannt.A feed station according to the preamble of claim 1 is for example known from DE 938698C.
Während des Druckmaschinenbetriebs werden bedruckte Signaturen nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsvorgängen zugeführt. Zum Sammeln und registergenauen Ausrichten der Signaturen für einen kontrollierten Zuführvorgang werden Signaturenzuführstationen verwendet. Zum Positionieren der Signaturen in einem Magazin oder einer Tasche der Zuführstation werden mechanische Rüttler verwendet, welche die Signaturen bei deren Eingabe in das Magazin oder die Tasche "rütteln", d.h. in eine korrekt ausgerichtete Anordnung bringen, um auf diese Weise eine registergenaue Ausrichtung der Signaturen zu ermöglichen. Bekannte mechanische Rüttler schieben einlaufende Signaturen gegen eine rückwärtige Anschlagsplatte in einem Magazin und bewirken so eine Ausrichtung der Signaturen während der Stapelbildung im Magazin.During the press operation, printed signatures are subsequent Machining operations fed. For collecting and aligning the Signatures for a controlled feeding process become signature feeding stations used. For positioning the signatures in a magazine or a pocket of the Feeding station mechanical vibrators are used, which the signatures at their "Shake" input into the magazine or pocket, i.e. in a correctly aligned Arrange in this way to ensure precise registration of the signatures to enable.

wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist, zwischen den Positionen A und B hin und her. Synchron mit der
Hin- und Herbewegung des Rüttelelements 27 werden Signaturen 4 jeweils als einlaufende
Signaturen 6 von einer Fördereinrichtung 2 in das Magazin 16 befördert. Jede einlaufende
Signatur 6 wird durch die Hin- und Herbewegung des steifen Rüttelelements 27 in einem
Schubbereich 30 gegen den rückwärtigen Anschlag 24 geschoben, so dass jede
Signatur 6 registergenau ausgerichtet ist, wenn sie auf den Signaturenstapel 8 im Magazin
16 fällt. Ähnlich wie bei dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Rüttler erfolgt in einem statischen Bereich 32
des Signaturenstapels kein weiterer Ausrichtvorgang der Signaturen .FIG. 2 also shows a schematic illustration of a
Fig. 3 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Signaturenzuführeinrichtung 9 mit einem
flexiblen Rüttler 10 gemäß einer Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung. Die
Signaturenzuführstation 9 umfasst ein Magazin 16 mit einem oberen Ende 17 und einem
unteren Ende 18, sowie eine Vorderplatte 22 und einen Boden 23, der z. B. von einem
Signaturentisch gebildet wird. Der Rüttler 10 umfasst ein flexibles Rüttelelement 25 und
einen rückwärtigen Anschlag 24. Das flexible Rüttelelement 25 ist an der Vorderplatte 22
an einem Biegepunkt 29 am unteren Ende 17 des Magazins 16 befestigt. Alternativ kann
das flexible Rüttelelement 25 schwenkbar am Biegepunkt 29 befestigt sein. Gemäß
weiteren Ausführungsformen der Erfindung kann das Rüttelelement 25 an einer beliebigen
anderen geeigneten Struktur befestigt sein.Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of a signature feeder 9 with a
Das Rüttelelement 25 kann als ein dünnes Metallblech ausgebildet sein, kann jedoch auch
aus einem Kunststoff oder einem beliebigen anderen biegsamen, federelastischen Material
bestehen. Gemäß weiteren Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung kann das
flexible Rüttelelement 25 aus einer Vielzahl von aneinander angrenzend angeordneten,
länglichen, fingerförmigen Elementen ausgebildet sein. Der rückwärtige Anschlag 24 kann
steif oder flexibel und eben oder gebogen ausgebildet sein. Gemäß weiteren
Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung kann der rückwärtige Anschlag 24
angelenkt sein und bewegbar, z. B. hin und her bewegbar, ausgebildet sein.The vibrating
Das flexible Rüttelelement 25 wird in seitlicher Richtung durch eine nicht gezeigte
Pendelvorrichtung zwischen den Positionen A und B hin und her bewegt, wie es in Fig. 2
gezeigt ist. Die Pendelvorrichtung überträgt die Hin- und Herbewegung auf das
Rüttelelement 25 vorzugsweise im oberen Bereich 26 des Rüttelelements am oberen Ende
18 des Magazins 16. Die Pendelvorrichtung kann als eine beliebige geeignete mechanische
oder sonstige Vorrichtung zum Übertragen einer Pendelbewegung oder einer Hin- und
Herbewegung auf das flexible Rüttelelement 25 ausgebildet sein, z. B. als eine Nocke, als
Kurbelarm oder als eine ähnliche Vorrichtung bekannter Konstruktion.The flexible vibrating
Synchron mit der Hin- und Herbewegung des flexiblen Rüttelelements 25 werden
Signaturen 4 als einlaufende Signaturen 6 von einer Fördereinrichtung 2 in das Magazin 16
befördert. Im Zusammenhang mit der vorliegenden Erfindung erstreckt sich der Ausdruck
"Signatur" auch auf jede Art von flachen Produkten wie einzelne Materialbogen, z. B. aus
Papier. Jede einlaufende Signatur 6 wird durch die Hin- und Herbewegung in einem
Schubbereich 40 des flexiblen Rüttelelements 25 gegen den rückwärtigen Anschlag 24
geschoben, so dass die Signatur 6 registergenau ausgerichtet wird, wenn sie auf den in einem
Vibrationsbereich 42 befindlichen und sich in den Schubbereich 40 erstreckenden Stapel 8
im Magazin 16 fällt. Gleichzeitig vibrieren die bereits in einem Vibrationsbereich 42 des
Signaturenstapels 8 angeordneten Signaturen leicht aufgrund der Hin- und Herbewegung
des flexiblen Rüttelelements 25, um die Ausrichtung des Signaturenstapels 8 zu
verbessern. Wenn sich das flexible Rüttelelement 25 während seiner Hin- und
Herbewegung auf die einlaufende Signatur 6 zu bewegt, um diese gegen den rückwärtigen
Anschlag 24 zu schieben, biegt es sich gegen den Signaturenstapel 8 und nimmt eine
gebogene, z. B. parabelförmige Form an. Die spezifischen Eigenschaften der gebogenen
Form, welche das flexible Rüttelelement 25 annimmt, richten sich nach der Höhe 19 des
Stapels 8.Be synchronous with the reciprocating movement of the flexible vibrating
Der Schubbereich 40 und der Vibrationsbereich 42 entstehen durch die Hin- und
Herbewegung des flexiblen Rüttelelements 25, indem dieses auf den Signaturenstapel 8
trifft und sich gegen diesen biegt. Die vertikale Länge 44 bzw. 46 des Schubbereichs 40 bzw.
des Vibrationsbereichs 42 ist variabel und richtet sich nach der Höhe 19 des
Signaturenstapels 8. Fig. 4 zeigt die Signaturenzuführstation 9 mit einem höheren Stapel
im Magazin 16. Die vertikale Länge 44 des Schubbereichs 40 ist geringer, während die
vertikale Länge 46 des Vibrationsbereichs 42 entsprechend größer ist. Da sich die vertikale
Länge des Schubbereichs 40 und des Vibrationsbereichs 42 an die Höhe des
Signaturenstapels 8 anpassen, passt sich die Rüttelwirkung, d.h. die Schub- und
Ausrichtwirkung, des flexiblen Rüttelelements 25 aufgrund der Flexibilität und der
Anordnung des Rüttelelements 25 ebenfalls automatisch an. Die Flexibilität und
Anordnung des flexiblen Rüttelelements 25 ermöglichen ferner eine automatische
Anpassung der Rüttelwirkung an die verschiedenen Eigenschaften der Signaturen. Der
Schub und die Vibration, die auf die Signaturen wirken, passen sich automatisch an das
Elastizitätsmodul des Materials der Signaturen, die Steifigkeit der Signaturen, die Größe
und Form der Signaturen etc. an. The
