Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Umlenken von in einem Schuppenstrom zugeführten Druckprodukten um einen durch ein Zuförderorgan und ein Wegförderorgan gebildeten Winkel, wobei das Zuförderorgan wenigstens annähernd über die Breite des Wegförderorgans förderwirksam ist und gegenüberliegend zum Förderende des Zuförderorgans, oberhalb des Wegförderorgans wenigstens ein diesem zugeordnetes kegelförmiges Leitorgan angeordnet ist, das gleichsinnig mit der Förderrichtung des Wegförderorgans drehend einen Förderspalt bildet.The invention relates to a device for deflecting supplied in a scale flow printed products to an angle formed by a Zuförderorgan and a Wegförderorgan, wherein the Zuförderorgan is at least approximately on the width of the Wegförderorgans promoting and opposite to the delivery end of the Zuförderorgans, above the Wegförderorgans at least one associated therewith Conical guide member is arranged, which forms in the same direction with the conveying direction of the Wegförderorgans rotating a conveying gap.

Einrichtungen dieser Art bezwecken ein Umschuppen der Druckprodukte und gestatten eine Aenderung der Förderrichtung.Facilities of this type aim at a shuffling of the printed products and allow a change in the conveying direction.

Die CH - A - 617 408 offenbart eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, mit der die von dem Zuförderorgan ankommenden Druckprodukte an der kegelförmigen Mantelfläche im unterschlächtigen Förderbereich vor dem zylindrischen Abschnitt abgebremst werden, sodass sie von den Umlenkorganen unzureichend erfasst und in eine Schräglage versetzt werden, wovon der Weitertransport und die Trennung unter den Druckprodukten betroffen ist.CH-A-617 408 discloses a device of the type mentioned above, with which the printed products arriving from the supply element are braked on the conical surface in the undershot conveyor region in front of the cylindrical section so that they are inadequately grasped by the deflecting members and placed in an inclined position, which affects the onward transport and the separation between the printed products.

Es ist auch ein kanalförmiges Wegförderorgan mit Seitenwänden, jedoch ohne weitere Umlenkmittel bekannt. Eine solche Einrichtung behindert die Trennung aneinanderhaftender Druckprodukte bei der Zuführung und vermag keine ausreichende Transportreibung sowohl zwischen Förderband resp. Förderbändern des Wegförderorgans und der Druckprodukte sowie den Druckprodukten zu bewirken.It is also a channel-shaped Wegförderorgan with side walls, but known without further deflection. Such a device hinders the separation of adhering printed products in the feed and can not transport sufficient friction both between conveyor belt resp. Conveyors of Wegförderorgans and the printed products and the printed products to effect.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, mit welcher mit einfachen Mitteln eine grössere Zuverlässigkeit des Transports von Druckprodukten im Umlenkbereich erzielt werden kann.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which by simple means a greater reliability of the transport of printed products in the deflection can be achieved.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Leitorgan am Basisumfang diesen überstehende Rotationskörper aufweist, die um eine senkrecht zur Drehachse des Leitorgans angeordnete Achse frei drehbar gelagert sind. Dadurch kann eine eindeutige Trennung der zugeführten Druckprodukte im Umlenkbereich und ein ausgerichteter Weitertransport erzielt werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the guide element on the base circumference has this protruding rotary body, which are freely rotatably mounted about an axis arranged perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the guide element. This allows a clear separation of the supplied printed products in the deflection and an aligned onward transport can be achieved.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 veranschaulichen eine Einrichtung 1 zum Umlenken von in einem Schuppenstrom 2 zugeführten Druckprodukten 3 um einen durch ein Zuförderorgan 4 (virtuell vorhanden) und ein Wegförderorgan 5 gebildeten Winkel, hier 90°. Die Pfeile F weisen auf die Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte hin. Zuförder-(4) und Wegförderorgan (5) sind durch umlaufende Förderbänder ausgebildet, die in den Figuren nicht erkennbar sind. Das Zuförderorgan 4 ist über die Breite des Wegförderorgans 5 förderwirksam. Das Wegförderorgan 5 ist durch zwei Seitenwände 6, 7 als Förderkanal ausgestaltet, sodass die zugeführten Druckprodukte 3 über eine Stufe den Förderkanal erreichen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Druckprodukte 3 mit der offenen Seite voran zugeführt und in einer geschuppten Formation und mit der Kopf- oder Fusskante durch das Wegförderorgan 5 mit einer 90°-Richtungsänderung geschuppt aus dem Umlenkbereich abgeführt.1 and 2 illustrate a device 1 for deflecting supplied in a scale flow 2 printed products 3 to an angle formed by a Zuförderorgan 4 (virtually present) and a Wegförderorgan 5, here 90 °. The arrows F indicate the conveying direction of the printed products. Zuförder- (4) and Wegförderorgan (5) are formed by circulating conveyor belts, which are not visible in the figures. The feed member 4 is promoting the width of the Wegförderorgans 5. The Wegförderorgan 5 is configured by two side walls 6, 7 as a conveying channel, so that the supplied printed products 3 reach the conveying channel via a step. In the illustrated embodiment, the printed products 3 are fed with the open side ahead and removed in a scaled formation and the head or foot edge by the Wegförderorgan 5 with a 90 ° change in direction from the deflection deflected.

Es lassen sich auch andere Schuppenformationen auf diese Weise und in eine um 180° geänderte Richtung als gezeigt umlenken und transportieren. Gegenüber dem Mündungsbereich des Zuförderorgans 4 ist an der Seitenwand 6 ein kegelspitzvoran entgegengerichtetes kegelförmiges Leitorgan 8 angeordnet, das oberhalb des Wegförderorgans 5 frei drehbar an einem Hebel 9 gelagert ist. Es handelt sich um eine relativ stumpfe Kegelform, an der die zugeführten Druckprodukte 3 an der vorderen Kante nach unten abgelenkt und gegen die Seitenwand 6 gefördert werden. Bevor sie diese mit der vorauslaufenden Kante erreichen, passieren sie einen steileren Abschnitt des kegeligen Leitorgans 8, an dem sie geführt werden und anschliessend unter den über den Basisumfang des Leitorgans 8 in radialer Richtung vorstehenden Rotationskörper 10 an der Seitenwand 6 auftreffen. Um die Position des Leitorgans 8 in Richtung der Drehachse ändern zu können, wären konstruktive Massnahmen zu treffen, die einem Fachmann wohl naheliegend sind. Die Drehachse des Leitorgans 8 steht rechtwinklig zur Förderrichtung F des Wegförderorgans 5; sie könnte jedoch auch einen spitzen oder stumpfen Winkel mit der Förderrichtung F des Wegförderorgans 5 bilden. Die Rotationskörper 10 sind an der Standfläche des kegelförmigen Leitorgans 8 entlang dem Basisumfang aneinandergereiht und frei drehbar um eine senkrecht zur Drehachse des Leitorgans 8 angeordnete Achse gelagert (siehe auch Fig. 3, 4 und 5). Die Rotationskörper 10 sind kugelig ausgebildet und weisen eine Bohrung 11 auf, durch die ein konzentrisch zur Drehachse des Leitorgans 8 eingespannter Ring 12 aus Stahl verläuft. Der Ring 12 ist durch ein an dem Leitorgan 8 festschraubbares ringförmiges Halteelement 13 in einer zwischen speichenartigen Rippen 28 an der Standfläche des Leitorgans 8 ausgebildeten Ausnehmung 14 angeordnet.Other scaly formations can also be redirected and transported in this way and in a direction changed by 180 ° as shown. Opposite the mouth region of the Zuförderorgans 4 a conical-pointed conical guide member 8 is arranged on the side wall 6, which is mounted above the Wegförderorgans 5 freely rotatably mounted on a lever 9. It is a relatively blunt conical shape, at which the supplied printed products 3 are deflected downwards at the front edge and conveyed against the side wall 6. Before they reach this with the leading edge, they pass a steeper portion of the conical guide member 8, where they are guided and then impinge on the side wall 6 under the over the base circumference of the guide member 8 in the radial direction projecting rotary body 10. In order to change the position of the guide member 8 in the direction of the axis of rotation, constructive measures should be taken, which are obvious to a person skilled in the art. The axis of rotation of the guide member 8 is perpendicular to the conveying direction F of the Wegförderorgans 5; However, it could also form an acute or obtuse angle with the conveying direction F of the removal device 5. The rotary bodies 10 are lined up on the base surface of the conical guide member 8 along the base circumference and freely rotatably mounted about an axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the guide member 8 axis (see also Fig. 3, 4 and 5). The rotary bodies 10 are spherical and have a bore 11 through which a concentric to the axis of rotation of the guide member 8 clamped ring 12 made of steel. The ring 12 is arranged by a fixed to the guide member 8 annular support member 13 in a formed between spoke-like ribs 28 on the base surface of the guide member 8 recess 14.

In den Ausnehmungen 14 sind mehrere kugelige Rotationskörper 10 an dem Ring 12 aneinandergereiht gelagert. Die Rotationskörper 10 könnten auch fassförmig mit einer nach aussen gerichteten Wölbung ausgebildet sein, so dass sie auf den Druckprodukten 3 keine Spuren oder Markierungen hinterlassen bzw. dass beim Drehen des Leitorgans 8 auf den Druckprodukten 3 ein Abrolleffekt entstehen kann.
Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind die Rotationskörper 10 von einem vorstehenden Ringwulst 15 umgeben, der beispielsweise aus einem O-Ring gebildet ist und günstige Reibungseigenschaften hinsichtlich Transport der Druckprodukte 3 beim Umlenken resp. Transportieren der Druckprodukte 3 im Umlenkbereich aufweist. Der Antrieb des Leitorgans 8 erfolgt über die Rotationskörper 10.
Alternativ könnte anstelle eines Wulstes die Oberfläche der Rotationskörper 10 mit einer gummihaltigen Schicht versehen sein, die den Umlenkvorgang begünstigt.
Die Rotationskörper sind vorteilhaft aus Kunststoff gebildet, könnten jedoch auch aus einem metallischen oder anderen, vorzugsweise schmutzabweisenden Material hergestellt sein.
Das Leitorgan 8 ist vorteilhaft hohl ausgebildet und weist eine innere Nabe 16 auf, in der eine Welle 17 befestigt ist. Das aus dem Leitorgan 8 herausragende Ende der Welle 17 ist in einem an den freien Ende des schwenkbaren Hebels 9 befestigten in der Schwenkachse des Hebels 9 angeordneten Lagergehäuse 18 axial unverschiebbar und frei drehbar gelagert. Die Ausbildung der Lagerung des Lagergehäuses 18 ist der Fig. 4 entnehmbar und braucht -da bekannt- keine zusätzlichen Erklärungen. Die Schwenkachse des Hebels 9 ist durch eine Nabe 26 ausgebildet, an der ein Hebelarm 19 radial zur Schwenkachse absteht. Die Nabe 26 kann durch den Klemmhebel 24 mit dem Halter 21 fest verbunden werden. An dem Hebelarm 19 ist eine pneumatisch betätigbare Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 20 (Luftfeder) einseitig angelenkt. Das gegenüberliegende Ende der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 20 ist schwenkbar mit einem an der Seitenwand 6 befestigten Halter 21 verbunden. Die Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 20 ist an eine nicht ersichtliche Druckluftquelle angeschlossen und kann durch ein manuell betätigbares Reduzierventil 22 in der Druckluftleitung 23 mit einem einstellbaren Gasdruck beaufschlagt werden. Die Auflagekraft des Leitorgans 8 auf den Schuppenstrom kann bspw. produkteabhängig über das Reduzierventil 22 eingestellt werden. D.h. das Leitorgan 8 kann ausser Betrieb genommen werden. Die Abstandslage des Leitorgans 8 wird gegenüber dem Schuppenstrom automatisch eingestellt. Die Anordnungs- und Gebrauchsweise ist den Fig. 1, 2 und 3 entnehmbar. Diese Figuren zeigen ein parallel zur Förderrichtung F des Wegförderorgans 5 verlaufender Schlitz 25 in der Seitenwand 6, der von einer die Nabe 26 aufnehmenden Stange 27 durchsetzt wird. Die Stange 27 ist mit dem zur einseitigen Befestigung der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 20 ausgebildeten Halter 21 fest verbunden. Durch Lösen der Klemmverbindung kann das Leitorgan 8 über die Breite des Zuförderorgans 4 versetzt werden. Erfahrungsgemäss ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Leitorgan 8 stossend auf die Druckprodukte 3 einwirkend positioniert wird, also auf den in Förderrichtung F im Umlenkbereich nachlaufenden Abschnitt (Fig. 1) einwirkend eingesetzt wird.
Der Halbmesser des Leitorgans 8 ist grösser als die Tiefe des Kanals des Wegförderorgans 5 ausgebildet bzw. die Spitze des kegelförmigen Leitorgans 8 überragt die zwischen Zuförderorgan 4 und Wegförderorgan 5 gebildete Stufe.In the recesses 14 a plurality of spherical rotary body 10 are mounted in a row on the ring 12. The rotating bodies 10 could also be configured in the shape of a barrel with an outward curvature, so that they leave no traces or markings on the printed products 3 or that a rolling effect can occur when rotating the guide organ 8 on the printed products 3.
In the illustrated embodiment, the rotary body 10 are surrounded by a protruding annular bead 15, which is formed for example of an O-ring and favorable friction properties with respect to transport of the printed products 3 during deflection, respectively. Transporting the printed products 3 has in the deflection. The drive of the guide member 8 via the rotary body 10th
Alternatively, instead of a bead, the surface of the rotary body 10 could be provided with a rubber-containing layer, which favors the deflection process.
The rotary bodies are advantageously made of plastic, but could also be made of a metallic or other, preferably dirt-repellent material.
The guide member 8 is advantageously hollow and has an inner hub 16, in which a shaft 17 is fixed. The protruding from the guide member 8 end of the shaft 17 is mounted in a fixed to the free end of the pivotable lever 9 in the pivot axis of the lever 9 arranged bearing housing 18 axially immovable and freely rotatably. The formation of the bearing of the bearing housing 18 is the Fig. 4 removable and needs - as known - no additional explanations. The pivot axis of the lever 9 is formed by a hub 26 on which a lever arm 19 projects radially to the pivot axis. The Hub 26 can be firmly connected by the clamping lever 24 with the holder 21. On the lever arm 19 is a pneumatically actuated piston-cylinder unit 20 (air spring) hinged on one side. The opposite end of the piston-cylinder unit 20 is pivotally connected to a holder 21 fixed to the side wall 6. The piston-cylinder unit 20 is connected to an unobservable compressed air source and can be acted upon by a manually operable reducing valve 22 in the compressed air line 23 with an adjustable gas pressure. The bearing force of the guide member 8 on the scale flow can, for example. Depending on the product via the reducing valve 22 can be adjusted. That is, the guide member 8 can be taken out of service. The distance position of the guide member 8 is set automatically with respect to the scale flow. The arrangement and use is the Figs. 1, 2 and 3 can be removed. These figures show a parallel to the conveying direction F of the Wegförderorgans 5 extending slot 25 in the side wall 6, which is penetrated by a hub 26 receiving rod 27. The rod 27 is fixedly connected to the one-sided attachment of the piston-cylinder unit 20 formed holder 21. By loosening the clamping connection, the guide member 8 can be offset across the width of the Zuförderorgans 4. Experience has shown that it is advantageous if the guide element 8 is positioned in an impact-acting manner on the printed products 3, that is to say acting on the section following in the conveying direction F in the deflection region (FIG. 1).
The radius of the guide member 8 is greater than the depth of the channel of the Wegförderorgans 5 is formed or the tip of the conical guide member 8 projects beyond the formed between feed member 4 and Wegförderorgan 5 stage.
