  • the collecting device is, for example, between a sheeter cutting a digital printing system is downstream, and a folding station or a switched other processing organ.
  • the collection device according to EP-A 1 219 556 forms a sheet stack, by feeding the continuously fed sheets with a Gripping member, e.g. a sucker, taken and at one fixed, stationary place are stored on each other.
  • a plurality of gripping members is along a closed orbit moved.
  • the orbit has one horizontally extending section whose length is the length of a bow must exceed substantially. this leads to a large space requirement.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a Specify a collection device that, with high process reliability, a gentle treatment of the bows and reduced space requirements high production speeds allows. Furthermore, a corresponding operating method to provide.
  • the collecting device comprises a Rotary body, which is rotatably mounted about its axis and with a drive is set in rotation. Furthermore, it is at least one retaining mechanism for picking up and Holding bows present. His with the bow co-operating elements are in the area of the outer surface arranged the rotating body.
  • the retaining mechanism is used to a plurality in the form of a pile of sheets present bows in the area of their in the direction of rotation holding the leading edge and a new bow also to hold on to its leading edge and to add to the sheet pile. This is the leading Edge of the new sheet flush with the leading edges taken up the arches of the sheet pile, in particular with Help of a stop.
  • the lateral alignment of the bows can be done by other means.
  • the collecting device is particularly suitable for Processing individual, sequential in particular in Digital printing process printed and continuous subsidized arches. However, it can also generally for Formation of small stacks, e.g. around conventionally printed and / or already folded sheets, Small pile and / or scaly superimposed to collect subsidized bows.
  • FIGS. 1c-7c shows one Section of the corresponding figure 1a-7a, in which the Locking mechanism 4 is shown enlarged.
  • the core of the collecting device is a rotary body 1, the presently consists of three disc-like segments 2, coaxial with a rotation axis A on a common shaft 16 are arranged.
  • the segments 2 have in each case a disc-like basic body 2a with a widened peripheral edge 2b.
  • the three edge surfaces including the intermediate imaginary interfaces define an outer surface 3 of the rotating body, at the a bow 14 during the collection process in whole or in part.
  • the outer surface 3 is in the present case, cylinder jacket-shaped.
  • For the production of a such outer surface 3 may also be a rotary body in shape a solid or hollow cylinder or a body in the peripheral area spans a cylindrical surface, be used.
  • Turning body shown also from more than three segments consist.
  • Turning body 1 is a about the axis A rotatable body understood, the preferred, but not is necessarily substantially rotationally symmetric.
  • a retention mechanism 4 comprises a set of first Retaining elements 5 and a set of second retaining elements 6, of which one each a segment 2 assigned. They are not represented by here Control means actuated, e.g. by a Sliding control or an electronically controlled mechanical drive.
  • the first and second Retaining elements 5, 6 have the shape of an L-shaped bent finger 7, which is parallel to a Rotation axis A extending pivot axis B pivotable and slightly movable in the radial direction.
  • the bent end 8 has a the rotating body 1 facing first surface 8 a, between the and the rotary body 1 a Arch 14, 14 'can be clamped.
  • the slightly inclined extending second, the rotary body 1 facing away second Surface 8b may also be below an arc 14, 14 ' (see retaining element 6 in Fig. 2b).
  • An im essentially extending in the radial direction Stop surface 8c (see Fig. 3c) is used for example as Stop for aligning the leading edge 15 of a incoming bow 14, 14 '.
  • the holding elements 5, 6 slightly overhang the rotary body 1 in radial Direction.
  • the edge 2b of the segments 2 points to it Recesses 2c, through which the pivoting movement is possible.
  • the feeder 12 in the form of a conveyor belt runs horizontally and approaches the rotary body 1 in Rotation direction R seen about 45 ° before the vertex S, so that an arc under only slight bending, i. in the essentially tangential, transferred to the rotary body 1 can be.
  • the takeover area 9 Between the feeder 12 and the Rotary body 1 is the takeover area 9.
  • the Weg211 driving 13 in the form of a conveyor belt also runs horizontally and starts on the rotating body. 1 viewed in the direction of rotation R about 30 ° after the Vertex S, making a bow under only lighter Bending, i. essentially tangential, from the rotary body. 1 can be taken. Between the Weg211 Anlagen 13 and the rotary body 1 is the discharge area 10.
  • the in Fig. 6b shown position of the rotary body 1, in which the retaining elements 5, 6 are located in the delivery area 10, is called the delivery position.
  • a Extraction device with several discharge elements 11, which run around a parallel to the axis of rotation A. Swivel axis C (Fig.
  • a sheet 14, by a printing press or a sheeter comes with the Feeding device 12 to the rotating about the axis A.
  • Rotary body 1 supplied (Fig. 1a-c).
  • the rotary body is like that driven that he is in the takeover position located when the leading edge 15 of the sheet 14 the Rotary body 1 reached (Fig. 2a-c).
  • the first Retaining elements 5 are slightly moved radially outwards, so that their first surfaces 8a with the outer surface of the third form a receiving gap 17 ( Figure 1c), which in Peripheral direction is limited by the stop surface 8c.
  • the second receiving elements 6 lie on the outer surface 3 and could, for example, one already Fix the recorded sheet or stack of sheets (see Fig.
  • the second retaining element 6 now pivots back into his Starting position, but remains in the radial direction offset outside, so that another conveying gap 17 ' forms, which can accommodate a further sheet 14 '(Fig. 4a-c). In these, the further sheet 14 is added and clamped (Fig. 5a-c). Since the stop surfaces 8c the first and second retaining elements 5, 6 in Circumferential direction are in the same place, the leading edges 15, 15 'precisely together aligned. As the first and second retaining elements 5, 6 are constructed identically in the present example, this situation corresponds to that of Fig. 1a-c and 2a-c.
  • first and second Retention elements is the entire sheet stack including the newly recorded Arch from the first intermediate position through both Retaining elements and from a second intermediate position held only by the second retaining element while the first retaining element for receiving a new sheet getting ready.
  • the entire Sheet stacks constantly e.g. by electrostatic charging, Needles or external guide rollers are held and that first retaining element essentially only as a stop for the leading edge of a newly recorded bow.
  • a stop is then unnecessary if feeder and rotary bodies are synchronized so that the Leading edges always in the same place with respect to Retaining element or to the front edge of the already discarded sheets are located. In this case, it is enough that the locking mechanism the new bow in position holds, in which the leading edges are flush with each other.
  • FIGS. 1-5 may be so repeat a long time until all become one pile to be summarized sheets 14, 14 'at least partially the rotary body 1 are wound.
  • the Ausschleusetti 11 activated and the currently active Retaining elements 5, 6 deactivated, so that the entire Stack is discharged (Fig. 6a-c).
  • the first sheet 14 "of a new Sheet pile are recorded (Fig. 7a-c).
  • the stack is usually removed by the Centrifugal force, but also by finger or rotating Gripper or other techniques known per se adopted become.
  • suitable means e.g. electrostatic charging, crimping or external Guide rollers, ensuring that the sheet pile when Transport with the removal device 13 together remains.
  • the web speed v B of the elements of the retaining mechanism 4, in this case the receiving gap 17, 17 'or the abutment surface 8c which takes over the arches, is preferably non-uniform during one revolution. It is preferably before and when reaching the acceptance position less than the feed speed v z of the sheets 14, 14 'on the feeder 12, so that the leading edges 15, 15', for example by striking the stop surface 8c, flush with each other can be added. Subsequently, the rotary body is preferably slightly accelerated so that it is on arrival of the next leading edge again in the transfer position.
  • the rotational speed of the Rotary body 1 adapted to the distance, the leading edges 15, 15 'of the sheets when feeding to the Have collecting device.
  • the same Effect can be achieved by adjusting the distance which the leading edges on the feeder have, e.g. by Adjustment of printing speed.
