Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for collecting printed products to unbound (loose) book block, with an endless circulating traction means, at which at intervals conveyor elements for receiving the printed products mounted one behind the other and driven along a conveying path, consisting of several arranged above feeders.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is that the respective uppermost sheet of a sheet package, at high cycle rates, due to aerodynamic effects can be lifted from the sheet package, which inevitably leads to a machine stop.
  • a further disadvantage of this solution results from the fact that the respective lowest printed sheet of a sheet package must slide over the support surface of the collecting channel during the entire collection process, which can lead to scratches on certain paper grades.
  • Another disadvantage of this solution is that at a stop of the collecting device, the sheet packets, by their kinetic energy, they can slide away from them driving finger and thus the storage of the next sheet to be supplied is no longer guaranteed.
  • Another prior art is for example in the EP 832 836 disclosed.
  • the loose book blocks are collected in a predominantly stationary orientation in pockets and the direction of movement of the accumulation conveyor is directed transversely to the flat sides of the printed products.
  • the location of the lower edge of the printed products depends on their format. For this reason, the bags are height adjustable.
  • This solution requires a complicated and complex construction.
  • the accessibility to the contents of the pockets required for manual operations, for example in troubleshooting, is severely limited.
  • An alignment sheet across the direction is not provided.
  • the object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned so that the influence of the wind at high speeds greatly reduced, when stopping the machine no displacement of the sheet packets in the conveyor element or within the stack occur and each sheet individually at any position across can be positioned to the direction of the collecting conveyor.
  • the conveying elements extend at least in the region of the conveying path in a guideway and have a bearing surface and a wall for the horizontally recorded printed products.
  • the collecting conveyor 6 consists essentially of at a circumferentially driven traction means 5 fixed at regular intervals conveyor elements 7, which are guided in a guide track 28, not shown.
  • traction means 5 For the positioning of the stops 10 and alignment elements 11 transverse to the direction L control elements 18,19 are provided.
  • a drive for the traction means 5 is provided.
  • the guideway of the conveying elements 7 is endless and composed of straight and / or curved, preferably lying in planes sections.
  • the drive of the traction means 5 can at any point of the guideway, for example by a motor, not shown, which is drivingly connected to the traction means 5 via a wheel, preferably a guide wheel 12 done.
  • the conveying direction F of the feed devices 3 is rectified with the running direction L of the collecting conveyor 6 and forms with this an acute angle ⁇ .
  • Each conveying element 7 can be supplied with one printed product 2 from each feeding device 3, where it is guided past.
  • a removal device is arranged, which accepts the collected, located on the conveyor elements 7 printed products 2 isochronous to the collection conveyor 6 and passes a further processing machine.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment of a collecting device 1, in which the collecting conveyor 6 has two straight sections 21 and two curved sections 20, wherein the curved sections are formed by the deflection wheels 12.
  • the movement path of the collecting conveyor 6 lies in a vertical plane.
  • a second embodiment of a collecting device 1 is shown, in which the movement path of the collecting conveyor 6 in a horizontal Level lies.
  • the invention is not limited to the two illustrated embodiments, in which the trajectories of the collecting conveyor 6 are each in a plane. Rather, also movement paths are conceivable, which are composed of sections that are located in any spatial positions, as shown for example in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • a conveying element 7 consists of a support surface 8, on which the printed products 2 rest with a flat side and a wall 9 against which the printed products 2.
  • the wall 9 serves, with respect to the front edge 22 of the printed products 2, as an alignment element for the printed products 2 and at the same time as a wind deflector. This can achieve higher performance and / or more reliability.
  • the bearing surface 8 of the conveyor elements 7 can be slightly inclined or horizontal transverse to the direction.
  • a respective stop 10 and an alignment element 11 are provided, which together form an alignment device 29.
  • the stops 10 and the alignment elements 11 are mounted on the support surfaces 8 in transverse to the direction L extending guides.
  • Each alignment element 11 is connected by means of a guide roller 23 with the control element 19 of the alignment elements 11 transversely to the direction L.
  • the control element 19 is composed of several sections, the positions of which are adjustable transversely to the running direction L of the collecting conveyor 6 individually to the positions of the aligning elements 11 to be reached in this area by means of adjusting devices 24.
  • the stops 10 of the conveyor elements 7 have rollers 13 which are guided in the control element 18, for example a rail. With the help of the control element 18, whose position is adjustable transversely to the direction L by means of an adjusting device 24, the Position of the stops, the width b of the printed products 2, to be adjusted.
  • the conveying elements 7 are drivingly connected to a circulating traction means 5, for example a chain or a toothed belt.
  • FIG. 5 a shows a plan view of a conveying element 7 that is already charged with an incomplete stack of printed products 2.
  • the stack is aligned with the position of the stop 10.
  • the alignment element 11 is arranged above the stack of printed products 2 and ready for receiving a next printed product 2.1 with the same width b 0 as that of the printed products 2 in the stack.
  • the distance d 0 between stop 10 and alignment element 11 is at least as large as the width b 0 of the next printed product to be supplied 2.1, but not so large that the next printed product 2.1 comes to lie directly on the stack, but rests on the alignment element 11 ,
  • the position of the next printed product 2.1 is indicated in the Fig. 5a by the dashed lines.
  • the next printed product 2.1 is supplied and lies with the front in the direction L edge 22 on the wall 9 of the conveyor element 7 at.
  • the printed product rests on the partial stack and in the region of the alignment element 11 on this and can be pushed by a movement of the alignment element 11 in the direction of the stop 10, in a defined position.
  • the Defined position is usually given by the system at the stop. However, this is not mandatory, as will be explained.
  • Fig. 5c the alignment element 11 has reached its end position and the printed product 2.1 is applied to both the alignment element 11 and the stop. Through this process, it is possible that each sheet 2.1 can be aligned individually transverse to the direction L.
  • FIG. 5d the alignment element 11 has moved at least as far away in the direction away from the stop 10 that the previously aligned uppermost printed product 2.1 can fall freely onto the underlying stack.
  • the alignment element 11 is again in the same position as in FIG. 5a.
  • the conveying element 7 is ready for receiving a next printed product 2.1 with approximately the same orientation with respect to the aligning element 11 facing the left edge 26 of the uppermost on the stack located printed product 2.
  • the next to be supplied printed product 2.2 has a significantly different width b,
  • a smaller width b 1 according to FIG. 6a, the alignment element 11 is moved into a position adapted to this smaller width b 1 .
  • the distance d 1 is likewise at least as great as the width b 1 of the smaller printed product 2.2, but not so great that the printed product 2.2 to be supplied does not come to rest on the aligning element 11.
