Abstract

The method involves bringing two stacks (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2) of printing products together to form multiple stacks. The multiple stacks are formed on a stack arm. A pallet (2) is provided for intermediate storage of the multiple stacks. The multiple stacks are transferred into the pallet using grippers. The multiple stacks are movable on a table (4) and are laid together at front sides (13, 14). An independent claim is also included for a device for executing a method for intermediate storage of stacks.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Zwischenlagern von Stapeln, die aus stangenförmig aneinander gereihten Druckprodukten bestehen, mit einem Stangenausleger, auf dem die Stapel durch Aneinanderreihen von Druckprodukten gebildet werden, mit einer Zwischenablage zum Zwischenlagern der gebildeten Stapel und mit Transportmitteln zum Überführen der gebildeten Stapel in die Zwischenablage. Die Erfindung betrifft zudem eine Einrichtung zum Zwischenlagern von Stapeln.The invention relates to a method for the interim storage of stacks, which consist of rod-shaped juxtaposed printed products, with a rod arm, on which the stacks are formed by juxtaposing printed products, with a clipboard for temporarily storing the stack formed and with transport means for transferring the stack formed in the clipboard. The invention also relates to a device for temporarily storing stacks.

Durch die EP 0 623 542 A ist eine Einrichtung bekannt geworden, mit der die oben genannten Stapel gebildet und einer Zwischenablage überführt werden können. Die Stapel werden aus Druckbogen gebildet, die in einem Schuppenstrom der Einrichtung zugeführt werden. Mittels einer Presse werden die Druckbogen stehend zu einem kompakten Stapel gepresst. Gleichzeitig werden die Stapel mit einem Band umreift. Die fertigen Stapel werden palettiert zwischengelagert.By the EP 0 623 542 A a device has become known with which the abovementioned stacks can be formed and transferred to a clipboard. The stacks are formed from printed sheets, which are supplied in a scale flow of the device. By means of a press, the sheets are pressed upright into a compact stack. At the same time the stacks are strapped with a ribbon. The finished stacks are temporarily stored in palletised form.

Durch die EP 1 378 472 A ist ebenfalls eine Einrichtung bekannt geworden, mit welcher ebenfalls solche Stapel gebildet und zwischengelagert werden können. Oberhalb einer Stapelauflage ist eine senkrecht und horizontal verfahrbare Zange angeordnet, mit der die Stapel an den Enden zusammengepresst werden. Die Zange dient zudem dazu, die umreiften Stapel von der Stapelauflage in eine benachbarte Zwischenablage überzuführen. Die so gebildeten Stapel besitzen eine Länge von beispielsweise 1'000 oder 1'2000 mm. Solche Stapel (auch Stangen genannt) sind sehr schwer und können bei der Weiterverarbeitung nicht von Hand angelegt werden. Es werden deshalb auch kurze Stapel von beispielsweise 500 oder 600 mm hergestellt, die bei der Weiterverarbeitung von Hand beispielsweise bei einem Sammelhefter angelegt werden können. Zum Zwischenlagern werden diese auf halben Paletten gestapelt und diese dann wie übliche Euro-Paletten behandelt. Dies hat den Nachteil, dass für die Zwischenlagerung mehr Paletten als bisher benötigt werden. Grundsätzlich könnten die kurzen Stapel auf üblichen Euro-Paletten zwischengelagert werden. Diese Paletten können mit kurzen Stapeln jedoch nicht optimal ausgenutzt werden.By the EP 1 378 472 A A device has also become known, with which likewise such stacks are formed and can be stored temporarily. Above a stack support a vertically and horizontally movable pliers is arranged, with which the stacks are pressed together at the ends. The pliers also serves to transfer the strapped stack from the stack support in an adjacent clipboard. The stacks formed in this way have a length of, for example, 1,000 or 1,200 mm. Such stacks (also called bars) are very heavy and can not be created by hand during further processing. Therefore, short stacks of, for example, 500 or 600 mm are produced, which can be applied during further processing by hand, for example in a saddle stitcher. For temporary storage, these are stacked on half pallets and then treated as usual Euro pallets. This has the disadvantage that more pallets are needed than before for the intermediate storage. In principle, the short stacks could be temporarily stored on standard Euro pallets. However, these pallets can not be optimally utilized with short stacks.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine einfachere und kostengünstigere Zwischenlagerung ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which allow a simpler and more cost-effective intermediate storage.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einem gattungsgemässen Verfahren dadurch gelöst, dass jeweils mindestens zwei vergleichsweise kurze Stapel zu einem Mehrfachstapel zusammengeführt und mit den genannten Transportmitteln gemeinsam in die Zwischenablage überführt werden. Die Mehrfachstapel können wie die bisherigen langen Stapel auf einer Euro-Palette gestapelt werden. Diese Paletten können damit optimal ausgenutzt werden. Diese Zwischenlagerung ist sehr platzsparend, da auf der Palette keine Zwischenräume entstehen. Zudem sind die beladenen Paletten für den Transport sehr stabil. Auf einer Palette können gleichzeitig übliche lange Stapel und Mehrfachstapel optimal gestapelt werden. Der Transport für die Weiterverarbeitung der Stapel kann von Hand erfolgen, da die kurzen Stapel wesentlich leichter sind als die bisherigen üblichen langen Stapel. Da mehrere kurze Stapel zusammen wesentlich schneller palettiert werden können als einzelne lange Stapel, sind kürzere Zykluszeiten/Stapel möglich. Die vergleichsweise kurzen Stapel sind vorzugsweise wesentlich kürzer als 1'000 mm. Die Mehrfachstapel können parallel oder kreuzweise gestapelt werden.The object is achieved in a generic method in that in each case at least two comparatively short stacks are combined into a multiple stack and transferred together with said transport means in the clipboard. The multiple stacks can be stacked like the previous long stacks on a Euro pallet. These pallets can thus be optimally utilized. This intermediate storage is very space-saving, as there is no on the pallet Intermediate spaces arise. In addition, the loaded pallets are very stable for transport. On a pallet, conventional long stacks and multiple stacks can be optimally stacked at the same time. The transport for the further processing of the stack can be done by hand, since the short stacks are much lighter than the previous conventional long stack. Since several short stacks can be palletized together much faster than single long stacks, shorter cycle times / stacks are possible. The comparatively short stacks are preferably substantially shorter than 1'000 mm. The multiple stacks can be stacked in parallel or crosswise.

Nach einer Weiterbildung werden wenigstens zwei umreifte Stapel auf einen Tisch, insbesondere auf einen Rollentisch bewegt und auf diesem zum Mehrfachstapel zusammengeführt. Vorzugsweise erfolgt das Zusammenführen an einem Anschlag des Tisches.According to a further development, at least two strapped stacks are moved onto a table, in particular onto a roller table, and brought together on this to form a multiple stack. Preferably, the merging takes place on a stop of the table.

Vorzugsweise werden die Stapel stirnseitig aneinander gelegt. Besteht der Mehrfachstapel aus zwei Stapeln, so beträgt seine Länge somit die Summe der Längen der beiden Stapel. Grundsätzlich können auch mehr als zwei Stapel auf diese Weise zusammengeführt werden. Nach einer alternativen Ausführung werden die Stapel übereinander oder seitlich nebeneinander zu einem Mehrfachstapel zusammengefasst.Preferably, the stack are placed frontally together. If the multiple stack consists of two stacks, then its length is the sum of the lengths of the two stacks. In principle, more than two stacks can be merged in this way. According to an alternative embodiment, the stacks are combined one above the other or side by side to form a multiple stack.

Die in Figur 1 und 2 gezeigte Einrichtung 1 weist einen an sich bekannten Ausleger 3 auf, der beispielsweise gemäss der EP 1 378 472 A ausgebildet sein kann. Zur Offenbarung wird hier auf diese Schrift verwiesen. Weiter besitzt die Einrichtung 1 einen Tisch 4, der beispielsweise als Rollentisch ausgebildet ist und der wenigstens zwei Stapel A1 und A 2 aufnehmen kann. Zur Positionierung besitzt der Tisch 4 einen Anschlag 8. Neben dem Tisch 4 befindet sich eine Palette 2, die eine übliche Euro-Palette sein kann. Vor dem Tisch 4 befindet sich eine Stapelauflage 6, welcher die zu stapelnden Druckprodukte 12 im Schuppenstrom zugeführt werden.The device 1 shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a known boom 3, which, for example, according to the EP 1 378 472 A can be trained. For disclosure, reference is made to this document. Next, the device 1 has a table 4, which is for example designed as a roller table and can accommodate at least two stacks A1 and A2. For positioning, the table 4 has a stop 8. In addition to the table 4 is a pallet 2, which may be a standard Euro-pallet. Before the table 4 is a stack support 6, which are supplied to be stacked printed products 12 in the scale flow.

Die Figur 3 zeigt schematisch den Tisch 4, der eine Mehrzahl von Rollen 7 aufweist, die so angeordnet sind, dass die Stapel A1 und A2 quer zu ihrer Längsrichtung ohne wesentlichen Kraftaufwand verschiebbar sind. Hierzu ist gemäss Figur 3 ein Schieber 17 vorgesehen, der mit einem hydraulischen oder pneumatischen Zylinder 9 in Längsrichtung der Rollen 7 verschiebbar ist. Es sind hier aber auch andere Mittel zum Verschieben denkbar.FIG. 3 schematically shows the table 4, which has a plurality of rollers 7, which are arranged such that the stacks A1 and A2 are displaceable transversely to their longitudinal direction without significant effort. For this purpose, according to Figure 3, a slide 17 is provided which is displaceable with a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder 9 in the longitudinal direction of the rollers 7. But there are also other means for moving conceivable here.

Die Stapel A1 und A2 sind vergleichsweise kurze Stapel von beispielsweise 500 mm oder 600 mm. Die Stapel A1 und A2 sind entsprechend leicht und besitzen ein Gewicht, das es erlaubt, diese von Hand zu transportieren. Es sind hier aber auch andere Längen denkbar. Die Länge der Stapel A1 und A2 ist aber so, dass diese von Hand angehoben werden können. Die Stapel A1 und A2 sind gemäss Figur 4 jeweils mit einem Band 13 umreift und besitzen an den Stirnseiten jeweils in bekannter Weise eine Endplatte 11. Diese Endplatten 1 sind beispielsweise Holzplatten. Zwischen diesen Endplatten 11 sind jeweils stehend die Druckprodukte 12 angeordnet. Diese Druckprodukte 12 sind stehend und jeweils parallel zu den Endplatten 11 angeordnet.The stacks A1 and A2 are comparatively short stacks of, for example, 500 mm or 600 mm. The stacks A1 and A2 are correspondingly light and have a weight that allows them to be transported by hand. But there are also other lengths conceivable here. The length of the stacks A1 and A2 is such that they can be lifted by hand. The stacks A1 and A2 are respectively strapped with a band 13 according to FIG. 4 and each have an end plate 11 at the end sides in a known manner. These end plates 1 are, for example, wooden boards. Between these end plates 11 each printed products 12 are arranged standing. These printed products 12 are arranged standing and in each case parallel to the end plates 11.

Auf dem Tisch 4 sind wie in Figur 1 ersichtlich die beiden Stapel A1 und A2 im Abstand zueinander angeordnet, so dass Stirnseiten 13 und 14 einen Abstand zueinander aufweisen. Diese beiden Stapel A1 und A2 werden nun in Richtung des Pfeiles 16 zusammengefügt, so dass die Stirnseiten 13 und 14 aneinander anliegen. Beim Zusammenschieben dient der Anschlag 8 zur Positionierung des gebildeten Zweifachstapels. Dieser wird nun mit der in Figur 2 gezeigten Zange 5 gefasst, wobei Backen 5a stirnseitig an dem so gebildeten Mehrfachstapel A anliegen und diese Stapel A1 und A2 aneinander anpressen, so dass sie gemeinsam transportiert werden können. Die Zange 5 ist so ausgebildet, dass sie einer hier nicht gezeigten Vorrichtung den Mehrfachstapel A anheben und auf die Palette 2 für die Zwischenlagerung überführen kann.As can be seen in FIG. 1, the two stacks A1 and A2 are arranged at a distance from one another on the table 4 so that end faces 13 and 14 are at a distance from one another. These two stacks A1 and A2 are now joined together in the direction of the arrow 16, so that the end faces 13 and 14 abut each other. When pushing together the stopper 8 serves to position the formed double stack. This is now taken with the pliers 5 shown in Figure 2, with jaws 5a abut the end face of the thus formed multiple stack A and press these stacks A1 and A2 to each other so that they can be transported together. The pliers 5 is so designed so that it can lift the multiple stack A and a device not shown here can transfer to the pallet 2 for temporary storage.

Ist der Mehrfachstapel A auf der Palette abgelegt, so wird die Zange 5 geöffnet und diese ist nun für den Transport eines zweiten Mehrfachstapels B bzw. C bereit. Beim Zusammenführen der Stapel A1 und A2 kann im Ausleger 3 bereits ein weiterer Stapel B1 gebildet werden. Sobald der Tisch 4 frei ist, kann der Stapel B1 auf den Tisch 4 transportiert werden. Befindet sich aber auf dem Tisch 4 neben dem Stapel B1 bereits ein zweiter Stapel B2, so können diese wie oben erläutert zum Mehrfachstapel B zusammengeführt und auf die Palette 2 überführt werden. In gleicher Weise wird der Mehrfachstapel C gebildet und auf der Palette 2 abgelegt. Auf der Palette 2 können die Mehrfachstapel A, B und C parallel, wie in Figur 1 gezeigt, oder auch kreuzweise angeordnet werden. Zum kreuzweisen Stapeln kann die Palette 2 auf einem hier nicht gezeigten Drehtisch angeordnet werden. Dies gilt auch für die weiteren Mehrfachstapel, die als zweite oder dritte Lage auf dem Stapel 2 abgelegt werden. Wie ersichtlich, sind die Mehrfachstapel A, B und C auf der Palette 2 so abgelegt, dass diese ohne Zwischenraum und damit sehr kompakt auf der Palette 2 abgelegt sind. Da nun die Stapel A1 bis C2 kleine bzw. vergleichsweise leichte Stapel sind und diese nicht miteinander verbunden sind, können diese bei der Weiterverarbeitung von Hand dem Stapel 2 entnommen und beispielsweise einem Anleger eines Sammelhefters zugeführt werden. Selbstverständlich ist auch eine maschinelle Entnahme möglich.If the multiple stack A is deposited on the pallet, then the pliers 5 are opened and this is now ready for the transport of a second multiple stack B or C. When merging the stacks A1 and A2, another stack B1 can already be formed in the arm 3. As soon as the table 4 is free, the stack B1 can be transported to the table 4. However, if a second stack B2 is already present on the table 4 next to the stack B1, then these can be combined as described above to form the multiple stack B and transferred to the pallet 2. In the same way, the multiple stack C is formed and stored on the pallet 2. On the pallet 2, the multiple stacks A, B and C can be arranged in parallel, as shown in Figure 1, or even crosswise. For crosswise stacking the pallet 2 can be arranged on a turntable, not shown here. This also applies to the further multiple stacks which are deposited as a second or third layer on the stack 2. As can be seen, the multiple stacks A, B and C are placed on the pallet 2 so that they are stored without gap and thus very compact on the pallet 2. Since now the stacks A1 to C2 are small or comparatively light stacks and these are not connected to each other, they can be removed from the stack 2 during further processing by hand and fed, for example, to a feeder of a saddle stitcher. Of course, a mechanical removal is possible.

Die Figur 5 zeigt einen Mehrfachstapel A', bei dem die Stapel A1 und A2 nicht stirnseitig, sondern seitlich zusammengeführt sind. Die beiden Stapel A1 und A2 können in einer horizontalen Ebene nebeneinander als auch übereinander angeordnet sein. Für den Transport vom Tisch 4 zur Palette 2 wird dieser Mehrfachstapel A' ebenfalls von einer Zange 10 gefasst, die entsprechend breitere Backen aufweist als die in Figur 2 gezeigte Zange 5. Auch bei dieser Ausführung können mehr als zwei Stapel, beispielsweise drei oder vier Stapel zusammengeführt und entsprechend ein dreifacher bzw. vierfacher Stapel gebildet werden.FIG. 5 shows a multiple stack A ', in which the stacks A1 and A2 are not brought together at the front but laterally. The two stacks A1 and A2 can be arranged side by side in a horizontal plane as well as one above the other. For transport from the table 4 to the pallet 2, this multiple stack A 'is also gripped by a pair of pliers 10 having correspondingly wider jaws than the pliers 5 shown in FIG. 2. Also in this embodiment, more than two stacks, for example three or four stacks, can be used merged and formed accordingly a triple or fourfold stack.

Die zur Ausführung des Verfahrens vorgesehene Einrichtung 1 besitzt somit Mittel 5 zum Zusammenführen der Stapel A1 und A2 bzw. B1 und B2 bzw. C1 und C2 zu einem Mehrfachstapel A, B bzw. C und Mittel 5 bzw. 10 für den Transport dieser Mehrfachstapel zur Palette 2 oder einer anderen geeigneten Zwischenablage. Die Zwischenablage ist somit nicht zwingend eine Palette 2.The device 1 provided for carrying out the method thus has means 5 for merging the stacks A1 and A2 or B1 and B2 or C1 and C2 into a multiple stack A, B or C and means 5 or 10 for transporting these multiple stacks to Palette 2 or another suitable clipboard. The clipboard is thus not necessarily a pallet 2.
