Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat einer Druckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a folding apparatus of a printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

Falzapparate von Druckmaschinen dienen der Ausbildung von Falzen an bedruckten Bedruckstoffen, wobei bei aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Falzapparaten, wie z.B. EP1127827 , ein bahnförmiger Bedruckstoff üblicherweise zuerst durch eine mindestens einen Falztrichter aufweisende erste Längsfalzeinheit geführt wird, um so am vorzugsweise noch nicht durchtrennten Bedruckstoff einen Längsfalz auszubilden. Ausgehend von der ersten Längsfalzeinheit wird der bahnförmige Bedruckstoff in Richtung auf eine Schneideinheit geführt. Im Bereich der Schneideinheit werden vom bahnförmigen Bedruckstoff Exemplare durch Querschneiden abgetrennt. Der Schneideinheit ist üblicherweise eine Querfalzeinheit nachgeordnet, die zumindest einen Falzmesserzylinder sowie einen Falzklappenzylinder umfasst. An der Schneideinheit abtrennte Exemplare werden mit Hilfe des Falzmesserzylinders in Richtung auf den Falzklappenzylinder bewegt. Die vom bahnförmigen Bedruckstoff abgetrennten Exemplare, welche vom Falzmesserzylinder in Richtung auf den Falzklappenzylinder bewegt werden, werden unter Ausbildung eines ersten Querfalzes vom Falzmesserzylinder an den Falzklappenzylinder übergeben. Weitere, zweite Querfalze sind zwischen dem Falzklappenzylinder und einem Greiferzylinder ausbildbar, der mit dem Falzklappenzylinder zusammenwirkt. Die so mit einem Längsfalz sowie mit mindestens einem Querfalz versehenen Exemplare können ausgehend von der Querfalzeinheit in den Bereich einer zweiten Längsfalzeinheit, die üblicherweise mehrere als Falztische ausgebildete Längsfalzeinrichtungen umfasst, gelangen. Im Bereich der Falztische können an den bereits vorgefalzten Exemplaren zweite Längsfalze ausgebildet werden, die parallel zu dem in der ersten Längsfalzeinheit ausgebildeten Längsfalz verlaufen.Folders of printing presses are used to form folds on printed substrates, with known from the prior art folders, such as EP1127827 , a sheet-like printing material is usually first performed by a first longitudinal folding unit having at least one former, so as to form a longitudinal fold on the preferably not yet severed printing material. Starting from the first longitudinal folding unit, the web-shaped printing material is guided in the direction of a cutting unit. In the area of the cutting unit, copies of the web-shaped substrate are cut off by cross-cutting. The cutting unit is usually followed by a Querfalzeinheit downstream, comprising at least one folding blade and a jaw cylinder. On the cutting unit separated copies are moved by means of the folding blade in the direction of the jaw cylinder. The separated from the web-shaped substrate copies, which are moved by the folding blade cylinder in the direction of the jaw cylinder, are passed to form a first transverse fold from the folding blade cylinder to the jaw cylinder. Further, second Querfalze can be formed between the jaw cylinder and a gripper cylinder, which cooperates with the jaw cylinder. The copies thus provided with a longitudinal fold and with at least one transverse fold can, starting from the transverse folding unit, reach into the region of a second longitudinal folding unit, which usually comprises a plurality of longitudinal folding devices designed as folding tables. In the region of the folding tables, second longitudinal folds can be formed on the already pre-folded copies which run parallel to the longitudinal fold formed in the first longitudinal folding unit.

An Stelle der ersten Längsfalzeinheit kann auch ein sogenannter Magazinaufbau vorhanden sein, wobei im Magazinaufbau keine Längsfalzung sondern eine Längstrennung des Bedruckstoffs erfolgt. Weiterhin sind auch Falzapparate bekannt, die über keine Querfalzeinheit verfügen, bei der also ausschließlich Längsfalze ausgebildet werden.Instead of the first longitudinal folding unit, a so-called magazine structure may also be present, wherein in the magazine structure no longitudinal folding but longitudinal separation of the printing material takes place. Furthermore, folders are also known, which do not have a Querfalzeinheit, ie in which only Längsfalze be formed.

Weiterhin sind Falzapparate bekannt, bei welchen der Falzmesserzylinder der Querfalzeinheit als Sammelzylinder ausgebildet ist, bei welchem in einer Sammelproduktion desselben vor der Ausbildung eines Querfalzes mehrere vom bahnförmigen Bedruckstoff durch Querschneiden abgetrennte Exemplare auf dem Falzmesserzylinder aufeinander abgelegt bzw. gesammelt werden. Mehrere aufeinander abgelegte bzw. gesammelte Exemplare werden nachfolgend als Sammelexemplar bezeichnet.Furthermore, folders are known in which the folding blade of the Querfalzeinheit is designed as a collecting cylinder, wherein in a collective production of the same before forming a Querfalzes several separated from the web-shaped substrate by cross cutting copies are stored or collected on the folding blade on each other. Several consecutive or collected copies are referred to below as a collective copy.

Bei aus der Praxis bekannten Falzapparaten verfügen die Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit über eine geringere Produktionsgeschwindigkeit als die restlichen Baugruppen des Falzapparats, weshalb Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit parallel zueinander angeordnet werden. Über eine in Transportrichtung der Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare gesehen stromaufwärts der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit angeordnete Aufteilungseinrichtung können Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare wahlweise bzw. wechselweise einer der parallel angeordneten Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit zugeführt werden.In folding machines known from practice, the longitudinal folding devices of the second longitudinal folding unit have a lower production speed than the remaining components of the folding apparatus, for which reason longitudinal folding devices of the second longitudinal folding unit are arranged parallel to one another. By means of a splitting device arranged upstream of the second longitudinal folding unit in the direction of transport of the copies or collective copies, copies or collective copies can optionally or alternately be fed to one of the longitudinal folding devices arranged in parallel in the second longitudinal folding unit.

Insbesondere dann, wenn in unterschiedlichen Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit gefalzte Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare nach Ausbildung der Falze in der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit wieder zu einem Produktstrom zusammengeführt werden, ist bei Auftreten von Falzfehlern nicht erkennbar, in welcher Längsfalzeinrichtung der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit ein Exemplar bzw. Sammelexemplar gefalzt wurde.In particular, when in different longitudinal folding devices of the second longitudinal folding unit folded copies or collective copies are brought together again to form a product stream after formation of the folds in the second Längsfalzeinheit, it is not recognizable when folding errors occur in which Längsfalzeinrichtung the second Längsfalzeinheit a copy or collection example folded has been.

Hiervon ausgehend liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen neuartigen Falzapparat einer Druckmaschine zu schaffen.On this basis, the present invention has the object to provide a novel folder of a printing press.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen Falzapparat gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Aufteilungseinrichtung eine Markierungseinrichtung zugeordnet, mit Hilfe derer Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare abhängig davon, welcher der parallel angeordneten Längsfalzeinrichtungen der Längsfalzeinheit dieselben zugeführt werden, markierbar sind.This object is achieved by a folding apparatus according to claim 1. According to the invention, the dividing device is associated with a marking device with the aid of which copies or collective copies can be marked, depending on which of the longitudinal folding devices arranged in parallel are fed to the longitudinal folding unit.

Im Sinne der hier vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Aufteilungseinrichtung eine Markierungseinrichtung zugeordnet. Mit Hilfe der Markierungseinrichtung sind Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare abhängig davon, welcher der parallel angeordneten Längsfalzeinrichtungen der Längsfalzeinheit dieselben zugeführt werden, markierbar. Insbesondere dann, wenn in unterschiedlichen Längsfalzeinrichtungen der Längsfalzeinheit gefalzte Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare anschließend zu einem Produktstrom zusammengeführt werden, ist aufgrund der Markierung der Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare unmittelbar erkennbar, in welcher Längsfalzeinrichtung der Längsfalzeinheit die Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare gefalzt wurden. Gegebenenfalls auszuführende Wartungsarbeiten werden demnach stets an der richtigen Längsfalzeinrichtung durchgeführt.In the sense of the present invention, the splitting device is assigned a marking device. By means of the marking device, copies or collective copies can be marked depending on which of the longitudinal folding devices arranged in parallel are fed to the longitudinal folding unit. In particular, if folded specimens or collective specimens are subsequently combined to form a product stream in different longitudinal folding devices of the longitudinal folding unit, it is immediately possible to identify in which longitudinal folding device of the longitudinal folding unit the specimens or collective specimens have been folded due to the marking of the specimens or collective specimens. If necessary, maintenance work is always carried out at the correct longitudinal folding device.

Besonders bevorzugt findet die Erfindung bei Falzapparaten mit Sammelproduktion Anwendung, bei welchen also der Falzmesserzylinder einer Querfalzeinheit als Sammelzylinder ausgebildet ist.Particularly preferably, the invention finds application in folders with collection production, in which therefore the folding blade of a Querfalzeinheit is designed as a collection cylinder.

Vorzugsweise weist die Längsfalzeinheit zwei parallel angeordnete Längsfalzeinrichtungen auf, wobei mit Hilfe der Aufteilungseinrichtung Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare wechselweise einer der beiden Längsfalzeinrichtungen zuführbar sind, und wobei mit Hilfe der Markierungseinrichtung jedes zweite Exemplar bzw. Sammelexemplare an einem in Transportrichtung derselben gesehen hinteren Ende markierbar ist.Preferably, the Längsfalzeinheit two parallel arranged Längsfalzeinrichtungen, with the help of the splitting device copies or collective copies alternately one of the two Längsfalzeinrichtungen be fed, and wherein with the aid of the marking device every second copy or collection copies can be marked at a seen in the transport direction of the rear end.

Die hier vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Falzapparat einer Druckmaschine, insbesondere einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine. Im Nachfolgenden soll davon ausgegangen werden, dass der erfindungsgemäße Falzapparat über eine mindestens einen Falztrichter aufweisende erste Längsfalzeinheit verfügt, um am bahnförmigen, noch nicht durchtrennten Bedruckstoff einen ersten Längsfalz auszubilden. Der ersten Längsfalzeinheit nachgeordnet ist eine Schneideinheit, um vom bahnförmigen Bedruckstoff Exemplare durch Querschneiden abzutrennen. In Transportrichtung der Exemplare gesehen, ist stromabwärts der Schneideinheit eine Querfalzeinheit angeordnet, um an den abgetrennten Exemplaren jeweils mindestens einen Querfalz auszubilden. Dabei ist ein Falzmesserzylinder der Querfalzeinheit als Sammelzylinder ausgebildet, sodass in einer Sammelproduktion desselben vor Ausbildung von Querfalzen mehrere Exemplare zu einem Sammelexemplar vereinigt werden können. In einer Nichtsammelproduktion werden keine Sammelexemplare gebildet. Der Querfalzeinheit ist eine zweite Längsfalzeinheit nachgeordnet, um so an den mit einem Längsfalz und mindestens einem Querfalz versehenen Exemplaren bzw. Sammelexemplaren zweite Längsfalze auszubilden, die parallel zu den im Bereich der ersten Längsfalzeinheit ausgebildeten Längsfalzen verlaufen. Die zweite Längsfalzeinheit verfügt über mehrere parallel angeordnete Längsfalzeinrichtungen.The present invention relates to a folding apparatus of a printing machine, in particular a web-fed rotary printing press. In the following, it should be assumed that the folding apparatus according to the invention has a first longitudinal folding unit having at least one former, in order to form a first longitudinal fold on the web-shaped, not yet severed printing material. Subordinate to the first longitudinal folding unit is a cutting unit in order to separate copies of the web-shaped printing material by means of cross-cutting. Seen in the transport direction of the specimens, a transverse folding unit is arranged downstream of the cutting unit in order to form at least one transverse fold on the separated specimens. In this case, a folding blade cylinder of Querfalzeinheit is designed as a collection cylinder, so that in a collective production of the same before the formation of transverse folds several copies can be combined to form a collective copy. In a non-collective production, no collective copies are formed. The Querfalzeinheit is arranged downstream of a second Längsfalzeinheit so as to form on the provided with a longitudinal fold and at least one transverse fold copies or collective copies second longitudinal folds which are parallel to the formed in the region of the first Längsfalzeinheit Längsfalzen. The second longitudinal folding unit has a plurality of longitudinal folding devices arranged in parallel.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen einen Ausschnitt aus einem solchen Falzapparat im Bereich einer Aufteilungseinrichtung 10, die in Transportrichtung der Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare gesehen stromabwärts der Querfalzeinheit und stromaufwärts der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit angeordnet ist. Mit Hilfe der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 können Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare wahlweise bzw. wechselweise einer der parallel angeordneten Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit zugeführt werden. Im Nachfolgenden soll davon ausgegangen werden, dass die zweite Längsfalzeinheit zwei parallel angeordnete Längsfalzeinrichtungen aufweist, wobei mit Hilfe der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 die Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare wechselweise einer der beiden Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit zuführbar sind. Fig. 1 and 2 show a section of such a folding apparatus in the region of a splitting device 10, which is arranged downstream of the Querfalzeinheit and upstream of the second Längsfalzeinheit seen in the transport direction of the copies or collective copies. By means of the splitting device 10, specimens or collective specimens can be selectively or alternately fed to one of the longitudinal folding devices arranged in parallel with the second longitudinal folding unit. In the following, it should be assumed that the second longitudinal folding unit has two longitudinal folding devices arranged in parallel, with the aid of the dividing device 10 the copies or collective copies being alternately fed to one of the two longitudinal folding devices of the second longitudinal folding unit.

Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen die Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 in zwei unterschiedlichen Positionen, wobei in Fig. 1 und 2 in Transportrichtung eines Exemplars 11 bzw. eines Sammelexemplars gesehen stromaufwärts der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 eine Bremsstation 12 positioniert ist, um von der Querfalzeinheit in Richtung auf die zweite Längsfalzeinheit bewegte Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare abzubremsen. Der Bremsstation 12 nachgeordnete Walzen 13, an welchen Transportbänder für die Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare geführt sind, bilden eine Übergabestation, um im Bereich der Bremsstation 12 abgebremste Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 zuzuführen. Fig. 1 and 2 show the splitting device 10 in two different positions, wherein in Fig. 1 and 2 In the direction of transport of a copy 11 or a collective copy, a braking station 12 is positioned upstream of the splitting device 10 in order to decelerate copies or collective copies moved by the transverse folding unit in the direction of the second longitudinal folding unit. The brake station 12 downstream rollers 13, to which conveyor belts for copies or collective copies are guided, form a transfer station to 12 braked copies or collective copies of the distribution device 10 supplied in the brake station.

Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 als in Richtung des Pfeils 14 drehende Nocke ausgebildet, wobei die Nocke 14 einen ersten Umfangsabschnitt 15 mit einem relativ großen Durchmesser und einen zweiten Umfangsabschnitt 16 mit einem relativ kleinen Durchmesser aufweist. Dann, wenn der erste Umfangsabschnitt 15 mit dem relativ großen Durchmesser, wie in Fig. 1 und 2 gezeigt, ein zu transportierendes Exemplar 11 bzw. ein Sammelexemplar berührt, wird dieses Exemplar 11 bzw. Sammelexemplar nach oben abgelenkt und über eine Bandleitungseinrichtung 17 nach oben abgeführt.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the splitting device 10 is designed as a cam rotating in the direction of the arrow 14, wherein the cam 14 has a first peripheral section 15 with a relatively large diameter and a second peripheral section 16 with a relatively small diameter. Then, when the first peripheral portion 15 having the relatively large diameter, as in Fig. 1 and 2 shown, touches a transportable copy 11 or a collective copy, this copy 11 or collective copy is deflected upward and discharged via a ribbon conductor device 17 upwards.

Dann hingegen, wenn der erste Umfangsabschnitt 15 ein in den Bereich der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 gelangendes Exemplar bzw. Sammelexemplar nicht berührt, sondern vielmehr dem Exemplar bzw. Sammelexemplar der zweite Umfangsabschnitt 16 gegenüberliegt, so gibt der erste Umfangsabschnitt 15 eine horizontal verlaufende Bandleitungseinrichtung 18 frei, so dass das entsprechende Exemplar 11 bzw. Sammelexemplar nicht der Bandleitungseinrichtung 17 zugeführt sondern vielmehr mit Hilfe der Bandleitungseinrichtung 18 abgeführt wird. Jedes zweite Exemplar 11 bzw. Sammelexemplar wird über die Bandleitungseinrichtung 17 nach oben abgeführt, die anderen Exemplare 11 bzw. Sammelexemplar werden über die Bandleitungseinrichtung 18 abgeführt. Gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 wirkt mit der als Nocke ausgebildeten Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 eine Leitzunge 19 zusammen, die eine Führung der Exemplare 11 bzw. Sammelexemplar beim Ableiten derselben über die Bandleitungseinrichtung 17 oder die Bandleitungseinrichtung 18 bereitstellt.On the other hand, if the first peripheral section 15 does not touch a copy or collection copy reaching into the region of the splitting device 10, but rather opposes the copy or collecting copy of the second peripheral section 16, then the first peripheral section 15 releases a horizontally extending ribbon conductor device 18 that the corresponding copy 11 or collective copy is not fed to the strip line device 17 but rather is removed with the aid of the strip line device 18. Every second copy 11 or collective copy is removed via the ribbon conductor device 17 upwards, the other copies 11 or collective copy are removed via the ribbon conductor device 18. According to Fig. 1 and 2 interacts with the distribution device 10 designed as a cam, a guide tongue 19 which provides a guide of the copies 11 or collective copy when deriving the same via the ribbon conductor device 17 or the ribbon conductor device 18.

Im Sinne der hier vorliegenden Erfindung ist der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 eine Markierungseinrichtung 20 zugeordnet. Mit Hilfe der Markierungseinrichtung 20 können Exemplare 11 bzw. Sammelexemplare abhängig davon, welcher der parallel angeordneten Längsfalzeinrichtungen der zweiten Längsfalzeinheit dieselben zugeführt werden, markiert werden. Im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel der Fig. 1 und 2 ist die Markierungseinrichtung 20 als Messer ausgebildet, welches an einem Ende des ersten Umfangsabschnitts 15 der als Nocke ausgebildeten Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 befestigt ist.For the purposes of the present invention, the splitting device 10 is assigned a marking device 20. By means of the marking device 20, copies 11 or collective copies can be marked, depending on which of the parallel arranged longitudinal folding devices of the second longitudinal folding unit are supplied. In the illustrated embodiment of the Fig. 1 and 2 the marking device 20 is designed as a knife, which is attached to one end of the first peripheral portion 15 of the distribution device 10 designed as a cam.

Die Markierungseinrichtung 20 rotiert demnach zusammen mit der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 und markiert Exemplare 11 bzw. Sammelexemplare, die nach oben abgeleitet und der Bandleitungseinrichtung 17 zugeführt werden, an einem in Transportrichtung derselben hinteren Ende. Mit der Markierungseinrichtung 20 wird demnach im gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel jedes zweite und damit jedes nach oben abgeleitete Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplar markiert.Accordingly, the marking device 20 rotates together with the splitting device 10 and marks copies 11 or collection copies, which are deflected upward and fed to the strip line device 17, at a rear end in the transport direction thereof. Accordingly, with the marking device 20, in the exemplary embodiment shown, every second and thus each upwardly derived copy or collective copy is marked.

Die zusammen mit der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 rotierende Markierungseinrichtung 20 wirkt gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 mit einer Gegenwalze 21 zusammen, wobei die Gegenwalze 21 derart genutet ist, dass die als Messer ausgebildete Markierungseinrichtung 20 in die Nut der Gegenwalze 21 eintauchen kann. Zu markierende Exemplare bzw. Sammelexemplare werden zwischen der Gegenwalze 21 und dem ersten Umfangsabschnitt 15 der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 geführt.The marking device 20, which rotates together with the splitting device 10, acts accordingly Fig. 1 and 2 with a counter-roller 21 together, wherein the counter-roller 21 is grooved such that the marking device 20 designed as a knife can dip into the groove of the counter-roller 21. Copies to be marked or collectible copies are guided between the counter-roller 21 and the first peripheral section 15 of the splitting device 10.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Falzapparat werden demnach die Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 passierende Exemplare 11 bzw. Sammelexemplare abhängig davon markiert, in welche Richtung dieselben aus der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 abgeleitet bzw. welcher Längsfalzeinrichtung einer derselben nachgeordneten Längsfalzeinheit die Exemplare 11 zugeführt werden.In the folder according to the invention, therefore, the dividing device 10 passing copies 11 or collective copies are marked depending on the direction in which the same derived from the splitting device 10 or which Längsfalzeinrichtung one of these subordinate Längsfalzeinheit the copies 11 are supplied.

Gemäß Fig. 1, 2 ist unterhalb der Aufteilungseinrichtung 10 eine Schutzeinrichtung 22 angeordnet, um zu verhindern, dass an der Druckmaschine bzw. dem Falzapparat arbeitende Personen ungewollt mit der als Messer ausgebildeten Markierungseinrichtung 20 in Kontakt gelangen.According to Fig. 1 . 2 a protective device 22 is arranged below the splitting device 10 in order to prevent persons working on the printing machine or the folding device from unintentionally coming into contact with the marking device 20 designed as a knife.
