Abstract

The device (10) has a wedge (44) fixedly arranged in a transportation plane of a product stream and engaging between cam rollers (47, 48) arranged symmetric to a central working plane. The wedge engages between flanking guide plates (45, 46), which together with the wedge limit a bifurcation. The guide plates have slots at which the guide plates are clamped by cams (49) of the cam rollers so that the cams and the guide plates form an inlet for strip lines (11, 12) attached to a sub-stream. The cam rollers are attached to the slots.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verteilen der aufeinanderfolgenden Produkte eines Produktstroms, insbesondere der durch einen Querschneider durch Unterteilung eines Materialstrangs gebildeten Falzprodukte, auf zwei Teilströme gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for distributing the successive products of a product stream, in particular the folded products formed by a cross cutter by subdividing a material strand, to two partial streams according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei den bekannten Anordnungen dieser Art, sog. Splittingvorrichtungen ist jeweils eine schwenkbare Zunge vorgesehen, welche die aufeinanderfolgenden Produkte abwechselnd dem einen oder anderen Teilstrom zuführt. Die Zunge stellt ein gegenüber den bewegten Produkten stationäres Bauteil dar. Aufgrund der Relativbewegungen zwischen den Produkten und der Zunge kann es daher zu Markierungen auf den Produkten und bei der Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten zum Abschmieren von Farbe und dergleichen kommen. Die bekannten Anordnungen erweisen sich daher als nicht produktionsfreundlich genug.In the known arrangements of this type, so-called. Splittingvorrichtungen a pivotable tongue is provided in each case, which alternately feeds the successive products to one or the other partial flow. The tongue is a stationary component with respect to the moving products. Therefore, due to the relative movements between the products and the tongue, there may be marks on the products and in the processing of printed products to smear paint and the like. The known arrangements therefore prove to be not sufficiently production-friendly.

Die EP 0054963 A1 zeigt bereits eine Splittinganordnung mit in der Transportebene des Produktstroms fest angeordneten Keilen, die quer zur Transportrichtung nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Die Keile bilden zusammen mit zwei durch die Splittinganordnung geführten Bändern eine zur Transportebene symmetrische, nach unten sich öffnende Weggabelung. An die Keile schließen unterhalb der Weggabelung innenseitig die beiden aus der Gabelung geführten Wege begrenzende Transportbänder an. Den beiden Seitenflächen des Keils sind zwei sie flankierende Nockenwalzen zugeordnet, welche in einem Bereich zwischen den Keilen Nocken und Ausnehmungen aufweisen. Jeder Nocke auf der einen Nockenwalze ist dabei eine Bereich auf der anderen Nockenwalze als Gegenhaltefläche zugeordnet, an dem keine Nocke vorgesehen ist und über den das dortige Transportband geführt ist. Die Transportbänder verlaufen somit seitlich neben den Nocken durch die Splittingeinrichtung hindurch. In diesen Bereichen der jeweiligen Bänder können die die Splittingeinrichtung durchlaufenden Produkte von den Nocken daher nicht unterstützt und abgelenkt werden.The EP 0054963 A1 already shows a splitting arrangement with in the transport plane of the product flow fixed wedges, which are arranged transversely to the transport direction side by side. The wedges, together with two bands guided by the splitting arrangement, form a symmetrical downwards-opening fork to the transport plane. On the wedges close below the fork in the road on the inside of the two out of the fork paths bounding conveyor belts. The two side surfaces of the wedge are associated with two cam flanks flanking them, which have cams and recesses in an area between the wedges. Each cam on the one cam roller is assigned an area on the other cam roller as a counter-holding surface on which no cam is provided and over which the local conveyor belt is guided. The conveyor belts thus run laterally next to the cams through the splitting device. In these areas of the respective bands, the products passing through the splitting device can therefore not be supported and deflected by the cams.

Hiervon ausgehend ist es daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung eingangs erwähnter Art mit einfachen und kostengünstigen Mitteln so zu verbessern, dass die Produkte geschont und eine hohe Produktqualität gewährleistet werden.On this basis, it is therefore the object of the present invention to improve a device of the type mentioned with simple and inexpensive means so that the products are protected and high product quality guaranteed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird bei einer gattungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit einer in der Transportebene des Produktstroms fest angeordneten Keilanordnung die zwischen zwei sie flankierenden, symmetrisch zur mittleren Arbeitsebene angeordneten Nockenwalzen eingreift, diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Keilanordnung zwischen zwei sie flankierende Leitbleche eingreift, die zusammen mit der Keilanordnung eine Weggabelung begrenzen, wobei die Leitbleche Schlitze aufweisen, an denen sie abwechselnd von den Schlitzen zugeordneten Nocken der jeweils benachbarten Nockenwalze durchgreifbar sind, so dass jeweils die durchgreifenden Nocken und das nichtdurchgriffene Leitblech eine Zuführung für eine einem Teilstrom zugeordnete Bandleitung bilden.According to the invention, in a generic device with a fixed in the transport plane of the product flow wedge arrangement between two flanking them, arranged symmetrically to the central working plane cam rollers engages, this object is achieved in that the wedge assembly between two flanking baffles engages, which together with the wedge assembly limit a fork, wherein the baffles have slots at which they are swept alternately by the associated cams of the respective adjacent cam roller, so that in each case the sweeping cams and the unconfined baffle form a supply for a partial flow associated with a ribbon line.

Zwischen den Leitblechen und den Nocken können die Produkte dabei sicher und über ihre ganze Breite geführt werden. Dabei könenn die Produkte der Splittingvorrichtung auch mit hohen Geschwindigkeiten sicher und unbeschädigt zugeführt bzw. aus ihr abtransportiert werden. Denn die dafür nötige Führung der Produkte an ihren seitlichen Produktkanten in der zur Splittingeinrichtung führenden bzw. von ihr wegführenden Bandleitung kann auch bei Produktbreiten, die dem Abstand der außenliegenden Bänder entsprechen, gewährleistet werden. Insgesamt kann so ein Papierstau auch dann vermieden werden, wenn bei einer bekannten Vorrichtung die nicht ablenkbaren seitlichen Produktkanten mit der Spitze der feststehenden Keilanordnung kollidieren würde.Between the baffles and the cams, the products can be guided safely and over their entire width. The products of the splitting device can be supplied safely and undamaged even at high speeds, or removed from it. Because the necessary guidance of the products at their lateral edges in the product leading to the splitting device or away from her band line can be guaranteed even with product widths that correspond to the distance of the outer bands. Overall, such a paper jam can be avoided even if, in a known device, the non-deflectable lateral product edges would collide with the tip of the fixed wedge assembly.

Zwischen den Nocken der rotierenden Nockenwalzen und den Produkten ergibt sich dabei in vorteilhafter Weise keine Relativbewegung, so dass Markierungen unterbleiben und ein Abschmieren von Farbe etc. vermieden wird.There is advantageously no relative movement between the cams of the rotating cam rollers and the products, so that markings are avoided and smearing of paint etc. is avoided.

Vorteilhaft weisen die Nockenwalzen über ihrer Länge eine Vielzahl von mit engem Abstand nebeneinander angeordneter Nocken und die Leitbleche eine Vielzahl von den Nocken zugeordneten Schlitzen auf, z.B. über 10 bis 20 oder mehr Nocken und Schlitze. Dazu können die Nockenwalzen vorteilhaft jeweils durchgehende Wellen aufweisen, auf die jeweils mehrere, mit einer Anzahl von Nocken versehene Nockenträger aufgeklemmt sind. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es dabei, wenn die Keilanordnung eine zumindest über die mit Nocken versehene Breite der Nockenwalzen durchgehende Anzahl Keile umfasst. Die in engem Abstand vielzähligen dünnen Nocken lenken das Produkt über die ganze Produktbreite sicher über den Keil bzw. die Keilanordnung in die jeweilige weiterführende Bandleitung ab. Die Keilanordnung und die Leitbleche, durch die die Nockenscheiben hindurchtauchen, begrenzen den freien Raum der Produkte und verhindern ein Umschlagen und Beschädigen der Produkte.Advantageously, the cam rollers have, over their length, a plurality of closely spaced cams and the baffles have a plurality of slots associated with the cams, e.g. over 10 to 20 or more cams and slots. For this purpose, the cam rollers can advantageously each have continuous shafts, on each of which a plurality of cams provided with a number of cams are clamped. It is particularly advantageous in this case if the wedge arrangement comprises a number of wedges extending at least over the width of the cam rollers provided with cams. The closely spaced thin cams guide the product safely over the entire width of the product over the wedge or the wedge arrangement into the respective continuous strip line. The wedge arrangement and the baffles through which the cams penetrate limit the free space of the products and prevent folding and damaging of the products.

Dabei kann die Keilanordnung einen oder mehrere Keile umfassen. Der oder die Keile können dabei entweder mit ihrer Keilspitze hinter dem von den beiden Nockenwalzen abgestrichenen Bereich liegen. In diesem Fall sorgen die die engen Abstände der Splittingnocken dafür, dass weder Produktvorderkante noch Produktende mit der festen Keilspitze in Berührung kommen kann. Die Keilspitze kann aber auch zu den Nockenwalzen hin wie die Leitbleche geschlitzt sein, so dass der oder die Keile ebenfalls von den Nocken der Nockenwalzen durchgriffen werden können und mit ihren Seitenwänden eine zusätzliche Abstützung der Produkte nach innen hin bieten.In this case, the wedge arrangement may comprise one or more wedges. The wedge or wedges can lie either with their wedge tip behind the painted off by the two cam rollers area. In this case, the close spacing of the split cams ensures that neither the product leading edge nor the product end can come into contact with the fixed wedge tip. But the wedge tip can also be slotted to the cam rollers as the baffles, so that the one or more wedges can also be penetrated by the cams of the cam rollers and offer with their side walls an additional support of the products inwards.

Wenn sich die Nocken beider Nockenwalzen jeweils über ein solches, bevorzugt gleich großes Umfangssegment erstrecken, welches bei angepasster Umfangsgeschwindigkeit jeweils eine komplette Produktlänge abstreicht, wird die Produktvorderkante , nachdem sie die Bandleitung verlassen hat von den Nocken in die entsprechende Richtung der weiterführenden Bandleitung abgelenkt und zugeführt, wobei beim Wiedereintritt der Produktvorderkante in die der Splittingvorrichtung nachgeordnete Bandleitung das Produktende noch in der der Splittingvorrichtung vorgeordneten Bandleitung geführt ist. Damit ist eine kontinuierliche Produktführung gewährleistet.If the cams of both cam rollers respectively extend over such a circumference segment, which is preferably of the same size, which in each case sweeps off a complete product length with an adapted peripheral speed, the leading edge of the product becomes After it has left the tape line has deflected and fed from the cams in the corresponding direction of the continuing strip line, wherein the reinsertion of the product leading edge in the splitting device downstream strip line the product end is still performed in the Splittingvorrichtung upstream tape line. This ensures continuous product management.

Die Bandleitung muss somit nicht durch die Vorrichtung geführt werden, sondern verläuft außerhalb um die Vorrichtung herum und nimmt anschließend die Produktführung wieder auf, so dass eine gute Führung in dem durch die Leitbleche, Nocken und optional den Keilseitenwänden gebildeten Weg gewährleistet ist, ohne dass die weiter oben beschriebene Gefahr von Papierstau entsteht.Thus, the stripline does not need to be passed through the device, but extends outside the device and then resumes product guidance so as to provide good guidance in the path formed by the baffles, cams, and optionally the wedge sidewalls, without the needles described above danger of paper jam arises.

Die der Figur 1 zugrunde liegende Vorrichtung dient zur Verarbeitung von Bahnmaterial, vorzugsweise in Form bedruckter Bedruckstoffbahnen aus Papier, zu längsgefalzten, bogenförmigen Produkten, wie Zeitungen etc.. Das Bahnmaterial 1, 2 wird in Form einzelner Bahnen oder in Form von mehrere aufeinander gelegte Bahnen umfassenden Bahnpakete den Falztrichtern 3, 4 einer Falztrichteranordnung zugeführt und hierdurch mit einem Längsfalz versehen. Jedem Falztrichter 3, 4 ist eine Zugeinrichtung 5, 6 nachgeordnet, die das zugeordnete Bahnmaterial 1 bzw. 2 über den zugeordneten Falztrichter 3 bzw. 4 zieht. Die Zugeinrichtungen 5, 6 bestehen aus zwei miteinander zusammenwirkenden Walzen, von denen eine angetrieben wird, und denen Leit- und Umlenkwalzen 7, 8 vor und/oder nachgeordnet sein können.The the FIG. 1 underlying device is used to process web material, preferably in the form of printed substrate webs of paper, longitudinally folded, arcuate products, such as newspapers, etc. The web material 1, 2 in the form of individual webs or in the form of several superimposed sheets comprehensive web packages the formers 3, 4 fed to a former arrangement and thereby provided with a longitudinal fold. Each folding hopper 3, 4 is followed by a traction device 5, 6, which pulls the associated web material 1 and 2 via the associated former 3 and 4 respectively. The drawbars 5, 6 consist of two cooperating rollers, one of which is driven, and which guide and guide rollers 7, 8 before and / or can be arranged downstream.

Das längsgefalzte Material, das im Folgenden als Stränge 1a bzw. 2a bezeichnet wird, wird anschließend mittels einer Querschneideinrichtung 9 in bogenförmige Produkte unterteilt. Der dabei entstehende Produktstrom wird anschließend mittels einer Splittingeinrichtung 10 in zwei Teilströme aufgeteilt und im Anschluss an die Splittingeinrichtung von zwei dieser nachgeordneten Bandleitungen 11, 12 zu einer Produktauslage 13 transportiert. Im Bereich des Endes der Bandleitungen 11, 12 ist diesen jeweils eine Bremseinrichtung 14 mit nachgeordnetem Schaufelrad 15 zugeordnet. Die Schaufelräder 15 werden von Auslegebändern 16 unterfasst, auf denen die Produkte jeweils in Form eines Schuppenstroms abgelegt werden.The longitudinally folded material, which is referred to below as strands 1a and 2a, is then subdivided into arcuate products by means of a cross-cutting device 9. The resulting product stream is then divided by a splitting device 10 into two sub-streams and following the splitting of two of these downstream strip lines 11, 12 to a Product delivery 13 transported. In the region of the end of the strip lines 11, 12, a braking device 14 with downstream paddle wheel 15 is assigned to each of these. The paddle wheels 15 are underlined by delivery belts 16, on which the products are stored in the form of a scale flow.

Die oben genannten Aggregate von den Zugeinrichtungen 5, 6 stromabwärts sind in einem Maschinengestell 17 angeordnet, in das die von den Falztrichtern 3, 4 ablaufenden Stränge 1a, 2a einlaufen. Das Maschinengestell 17 besitzt zwei Seitenwände, auf denen die genannten Einrichtungen gelagert sind. Auf das Maschinengestell 17 ist eine Aufbauwand 18 aufgesetzt, die den Falztrichtern 3, 4 zugeordnete Bahnzeitorgane 19 wie Leit- und/oder Wendestangen etc. trägt. Diese sind fliegend angeordnet und dementsprechend von ihrem von der Aufbauwand 18 abgewandten Ende her zugänglich. Der vom unteren Falztrichter 3 ablaufende Strang 1 a läuft ohne Umlenkung nach unten ab. Der vom oberen Falztrichter 4 ablaufende Strang 2a, der in der Praxis als sog. Ballonstrang bezeichnet wird, ist zur Umfahrung des unteren Falztrichters 1 seitlich ausgelenkt. Hierzu muss der Strang 2a durch die Aufbauwand 18 durchgeführt werden, die hierzu mit einem Durchführfenster 20 versehen ist.The above-mentioned units of the drawbars 5, 6 downstream are arranged in a machine frame 17, in which the running of the formers 3, 4 strands 1a, 2a enter. The machine frame 17 has two side walls on which said devices are mounted. On the machine frame 17, a mounting wall 18 is placed, which the folding hoppers 3, 4 associated Bahnzeitorgane 19 such as guide and / or turning bars etc. carries. These are arranged in a flying position and accordingly accessible from their end remote from the mounting wall 18. The running from the lower former 3 strand 1 a runs without deflection down. The running of the upper former 4 strand 2a, which is referred to in practice as so-called. Balloon strand, is deflected laterally for bypassing the lower Former 1. For this purpose, the strand 2a must be performed by the building wall 18, which is provided for this purpose with a feed-through window 20.

Die Aufbauwand 18 ist so angeordnet, dass die fliegend angeordneten Leitorgane 19 von der Seite der durch einen Pfeil 21 angedeuteten Bahnzuführung her gut zugänglich sind. Die Aufbauwand 18 ist dabei gegenüber einer Mittelebene der Falztrichteranordnung seitlich versetzt. Die Richtung der Bahnzuführung hängt von der Anordnung vorgeordneter Einrichtungen ab und kann sich daher ändern. Wenn die Bahnzuführung von der dem Pfeil 21 entgegengesetzten Seite her erfolgt, muss die Aufbauwand 18 auf der anderen Seite der Falztrichteranordnung angeordnet werden, wie in Fig. 1 durch unterbrochene Linien angedeutet ist. Da der Strang 2a durch die Aufbauwand 18 hindurchgeführt werden muss und erst unterhalb der zugeordneten Zugeinrichtung 6 koplanar mit dem vom Falztrichter 3 ablaufenden Strang 1a geführt wird, muss auch die diesem Strang 2a zugeordnete Bahnführung bezüglich der durch die gemeinsame Transportebene der koplanar geführten Stränge definierten Ebene symmetrisch zur mit durchgezogenen Linien gezeichneten Anordnung liegen. Ebenso kann es vorkommen, dass die Auslegebänder 16 die Produkte statt, wie beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel, nach rechts, zur anderen Seite nach links auslegen sollen.The mounting wall 18 is arranged so that the flying guide elements 19 are easily accessible from the side indicated by an arrow 21 web feed ago. The mounting wall 18 is offset laterally relative to a median plane of the former arrangement. The direction of the web feed depends on the arrangement of upstream devices and may therefore change. If the web feed takes place from the opposite side of the arrow 21, the mounting wall 18 must be arranged on the other side of the former arrangement, as in Fig. 1 indicated by broken lines. Since the strand 2a has to be passed through the superstructure wall 18 and is guided coplanarly below the associated traction device 6 with the strand 1a running away from the former 3, the web guide 2a assigned to this strand must also have the plane defined by the common transport plane of the coplanar strands symmetrical to the solid lines drawn arrangement lie. Likewise, it may happen that the Auslegebänder 16 instead of the products, as interpreted in the illustrated embodiment, to the right, to the other side to the left.

Um Variationen oben genannter Art zu vereinfachen besteht das Maschinengestell 17 aus mehreren, aufeinander angeordneten Moduln, die um 180° gegeneinander verdrehbar und in den jeweiligen Endstellungen aneinander festlegbar sind. Zwei Moduln sind praktisch ausreichend. Dementsprechend sind im dargestellten Beispiel zwei Moduln, nämlich ein oberes Modul 22 und ein unteres Modul 23 vorgesehen. Das obere Modul 22 enthält die Zugeinrichtungen 6, 7 mit zugeordneten Leit- und Umlenkrollen 7,8, die Querschneideinrichtung 9 und die Splittingeinrichtung 10. Das untere Modul 23 enthält die an die Splittingeinrichtung 10 anschließenden Bandleitungen 11,12 sowie die diesen zugeordneten Bremseinrichtungen 14, Schaufelräder 15 und Auslagebänder 16. Im Bereich der rechtwinklig zur vertikalen Drehachse verlaufenden Teilfuge 24 zwischen den gegeneinander verdrehbaren Moduln 22 und 23 haben diese gegenseitige Anlageflächen sowie zu einer die Drehachse enthaltenden, vertikalen Arbeitsebene eines benachbarten Aggragats symmetrisch angeordnete, hier durch ihre Mittellinien angedeutete Befestigungsmittel 25 zu ihrer gegenseitigen Verankerung im aufeinander aufgesetzten Zustand in jeder gewünschten Drehendstellung.In order to simplify variations of the type mentioned above, the machine frame 17 consists of a plurality of mutually arranged modules which are rotatable by 180 ° from each other and in the respective end positions are fixed to each other. Two modules are practically sufficient. Accordingly, in the illustrated example, two modules, namely an upper module 22 and a lower module 23 are provided. The upper module 22 contains the pulling devices 6, 7 with associated guide and deflection rollers 7, 8, the transverse cutting device 9 and the splitting device 10. The lower module 23 contains the strip lines 11, 12 adjoining the splitting device 10 and the braking devices 14 assigned to them. Paddle wheels 15 and delivery belts 16. In the region of the parting line 24 running at right angles to the vertical axis of rotation between the mutually rotatable modules 22 and 23, these mutual contact surfaces and to a vertical working plane of an adjacent agglomerate containing the axis of rotation have symmetrically arranged fastening means 25 indicated here by their center lines to their mutual anchoring in the successive patch state in any desired Drehendstellung.

Um in jeder Drehendstellung die Produkte in gleicher Weise über die Teilfuge 24 hinweg leiten zu können, sind die im Bereich der Teilfuge 24 vorgesehenen Aggregate symmetrisch zu ihrer die Drehachse enthaltenden, vertikalen Arbeitsebene und dementsprechend zu ihrer vertikalen Mittelebene ausgebildet. Die die Drehachse enthaltende vertikale Arbeitsebene entspricht einer vertikalen Mittelebene, d.h. der Transportebene der Produkte beim Durchgang durch die Teilfuge 24. Diese Symmetrie gilt im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel für den Ausgang der Splittingeinrichtung 10 und den Eingang der hieran anschließenden Bandleitungen 11, 12.In order to be able to guide the products in the same way over the parting line 24 in each end of rotation position, the units provided in the area of the parting line 24 are symmetrical to their axis of rotation containing vertical working plane and accordingly formed to its vertical center plane. The vertical working plane containing the axis of rotation corresponds to a vertical center plane, ie the transport plane of the products when passing through the parting line 24. This symmetry applies in the illustrated embodiment for the output of the splitting device 10 and the input of the subsequent strip lines 11, 12th

Um die Drehbarkeit der Moduln 22 bzw. 23 zu erleichtern, ist jedes Modul antriebsmäßig autark ausgebildet. Hierzu ist jedem Modul wenigstens ein moduleigener Antriebsmotor zugeordnet. Im dargestellten Beispiel sind zweckmäßig auf jedem Modul mehrere Antriebsmotoren vorgesehen. So ist jeder Zugeinrichtung 5, 6 ein eigener Antriebsmotor 26, 27 zugeordnet. Der Querschneideinrichtung 9 ist ein eigener Antriebsmotor 28 und der Splittingeinrichtung 10 ein eigener Antriebsmotor 29 zugeordnet. Dementsprechend enthält das obere Modul 22 die vier voneinander unabhängigen Antriebsmotoren 26 - 29. Den Bremseinrichtungen 14, Schaufelrädern 15 und Auslegebändern 16 des unteren Moduls sind ebenfalls jeweils eigene Antriebsmotoren 30, 31 bzw. 32, 33 bzw. 34, 35 zugeordnet. Das untere Modul 22 enthält dementsprechend sechs voneinander unabhängige Antriebsmotoren 30 - 35. Die gegenseitige Unabhängigkeit der Antriebsmotoren 26 - 35 erleichtert die Steuerung sowie die Bewerkstelligung jeder gewünschten Vor- bzw. Nacheilung, was sich vorteilhaft auf die Genauigkeit und schonende Betriebsweise auswirkt.In order to facilitate the rotation of the modules 22 and 23, each module is drivingly self-sufficient. For this purpose, each module is assigned at least one module-own drive motor. In the example shown, several drive motors are expediently provided on each module. Thus, each traction device 5, 6 is assigned its own drive motor 26, 27. The cross-cutting device 9 is assigned its own drive motor 28 and the splitting device 10 has its own drive motor 29. Correspondingly, the upper module 22 contains the four independent drive motors 26-29. The brake devices 14, paddle wheels 15 and delivery rails 16 of the lower module are likewise assigned their own drive motors 30, 31 and 32, 33 and 34, 35, respectively. The lower module 22 accordingly contains six independent drive motors 30-35. The mutual independence of the drive motors 26-35 facilitates the control and the achievement of any desired lead or lag, which has an advantageous effect on the accuracy and gentle operation.

Die Bandleitungen 11, 12 durchqueren im dargestellten Beispiel die Teilfuge 24. Die Bänder der Bandleitungen 11, 12 müssen daher abgenommen werden, bevor eines der Moduln 22, 23 verdreht wird. Die im Bereich der Teilfuge 24 vorgesehenen inneren Bandrollen 36 der Bandleitungen 11, 12 sind jedoch symmetrisch zu der oben genannten Arbeitsebene angeordnet, so dass sich nach der Drehung eines der Moduln 22, 23 dort derselbe Bänderverlauf ergibt, wie vor der Drehung.The strip lines 11, 12 traverse the parting line 24 in the example shown. The strips of the strip lines 11, 12 must therefore be removed before one of the modules 22, 23 is rotated. However, the provided in the region of the parting line 24 inner tape rolls 36 of the tape lines 11, 12 are arranged symmetrically to the above-mentioned working level, so that after the rotation of one of the modules 22, 23 there is the same band history, as before the rotation.

Die von den Falztrichtern 3, 4 ablaufenden Stränge 1a, 2a können nach der Vereinigung je nach Trichteranordnung aufeinander liegend oder nebeneinander liegend weiter transportiert werden. Um jede Möglichkeit offen zu halten und eine hohe Flexibilität zu gewährleisten, sind alle Organe und Einrichtungen von der Vereinigungsstelle 37 an stromabwärts zweispurig ausgebildet, d.h. so, dass bei Bedarf zwei Stränge nebeneinander laufen können. Die Seitenwände der Gestelle der Moduln 22, 23 sind dabei entsprechend weit voneinander entfernt, so dass sich die erforderliche Arbeitsbreite ergibt. Diese hier erwähnte Zweispurigkeit liegt den Einrichtungen gemäß Figuren 2 - 8 zugrunde.The running of the formers 3, 4 strands 1a, 2a can be transported after the union depending on the funnel arrangement lying on one another or lying side by side. In order to keep open every possibility and to ensure a high degree of flexibility, all the organs and devices are formed by the junction 37 at downstream two-lane, ie so that if necessary two strands can run side by side. The side walls of the racks of the modules 22, 23 are correspondingly far away from each other, so that there is the required working width. This here mentioned two-lane is according to the facilities Figures 2 - 8 based.

Die in Figur 2 gezeigte Schneideinrichtung 10 besteht aus zwei parallelen, umfangsseitig aneinander angestellten Schneidzylindern, die jeweils zwei nebeneinander angeordnete, jeweils einer Spur zugeordnete Messer 39 aufweisen. Die Schneidzylinder 38 sind jeweils im Bereich ihrer jeweils einer Spur zugeordneten Längenabschnitte mit umlaufenden, durch die Messer 39 unterbrochenen Nuten versehen, in die gegenüber den jeweils benachbarten Stegen radial vorspringende, aus einem kompressiblen Material, vorzugsweise Vulkollan, bestehende Leisten eingedrückt sind, die eine Minisickung des durchlaufenden Materials bewirken. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass der bei jedem Schnitt neu hergestellte Bahnanfang auch im Fall mehrllagiger Produkte nicht auffächert.In the FIG. 2 Cutting device 10 shown consists of two parallel, circumferentially juxtaposed cutting cylinders, each having two juxtaposed, each associated with a track knife 39. The cutting cylinders 38 are each provided in the region of their respective track associated lengths with circumferential, interrupted by the blades 39 grooves in which opposite the respective adjacent lands radially projecting, from a compressible material, preferably Vulkollan, existing strips are pressed, the minisickung cause the passing material. This ensures that the newly created at each cut web start does not fan out even in mehrallagiger products.

Die Länge der Produkte ist abhängig vom Durchmesser der Schneidwalzen 38. Im Falle einer Änderung der Länge müssen die Schneidzylinder 38 ausgetauscht werden. Um dies zu vereinfachen, sind die Schneidzylinder 38 in seitlichen Exzenterlagen 41 gelagert. Durch Drehen der Exzenterlalger 41 kann daher der Achsabstand verändert werden.The length of the products is dependent on the diameter of the cutting rollers 38. In the event of a change in length, the cutting cylinder 38 must be replaced. To simplify this, the cutting cylinders 38 are mounted in lateral Exzenterlagen 41. By rotating the eccentric sliders 41, therefore, the center distance can be changed.

Die durch die Wirkung der Querschneideinrichtung 9 hergestellten Produkte laufen, wie aus Figur 1 ersichtlich ist, in ein Einlaufmaul eines Bandleitungsabschnitts 42 ein und werden von diesem an die Splittingeinrichtung 10 übergeben. Im Bereich des vorstehend genannten Einlaufmauls des Bandleitungsabschnitts 42 kann es leicht zu Staus kommen. Um hier schnell eingreifen zu können, ist eine Seite des Bandleitungsabschnitts 42 von der gegenüberliegenden Seite abschwenkbar. Hierzu ist ein Schwenkzylinder 43 vorgesehen.The products made by the action of the cross-cutter 9 run as shown FIG. 1 can be seen, in an inlet mouth of a stripline section 42 and are passed from this to the splitting device 10. In the region of the aforementioned inlet mouth of the stripline section 42, jams can easily occur. In order to be able to intervene quickly here, one side of the stripline section 42 can be swung away from the opposite side. For this purpose, a swivel cylinder 43 is provided.

Die Splittingeinrichtung 10 enthält, wie am besten aus Figur 3 erkennbar ist, einen symmetrisch zu ihrer vertikalen Arbeitsebene ausgebildeten und angeordneten, festen Keil 44, der zwischen zwei ihn flankierende Leitbleche 45, 46 eingreift, die zusammen mit dem Keil 44 eine zur genannten Arbeitsebene symmetrische, nach unten sich öffnende Weggabelung begrenzen. Den Leitblechen 45, 46 sind zwei sie flankierende, symmetrisch zur genannten Arbeitsebene angeordnete Nockenwalzen 47, 48 zugeordnet. Die Nockenwalzen 47, 48 sind über ihrer Länge mit zwei jeweils einer Spur zugeordneten Sätzen von radial vorspringenden Nocken 49 versehen, wobei die Nocken 49 der Nockenwalzen 47, 48 abwechselnd das jeweils benachbarte Leitblech 45, 46 durchgreifen und mit dem jeweils anderen Leitblech eine Zuführung für eine einem Teilstrom zugeordnete Bandleitung 11, 12 bilden.The splitting device 10 contains, as best of FIG. 3 can be seen, a trained and arranged symmetrically to its vertical working plane, fixed wedge 44 which engages between two flanks 45, 46 flanking him, which define together with the wedge 44 a symmetrical to said working plane, downwardly opening fork. The baffles 45, 46 are two they are associated with flanking, arranged symmetrically to said working plane cam rollers 47, 48. The cam rollers 47, 48 are provided over their length with two sets of radially projecting cams 49 each associated with a track, wherein the cams 49 of the cam rollers 47, 48 alternately pass through the respective adjacent guide plate 45, 46 and with the other guide plate a supply for a band line associated with a partial flow 11, 12 form.

Die Nockenwalzen 47, 48 sind, wie am besten aus Figur 4 erkennbar ist, in zwei den oben genannten Spuren zugeordneten Längenbereichen mit jeweils vielen, schmalen scheibenförmigen Nocken versehen, zwischen denen schmale Lücken vorhanden sind. Die Leitbleche 45, 46 sind, wie aus Figur 5 ersichtlich ist, mit den schmalen, scheibenflörmigen Nocken 49 zugeordneten, schmalen Schlitzen 50 versehen, in welche die Nocken 49 kammartig eingreifen können, wie aus Fig. 4 anschaulich ersichtlich ist. Der Keil 44 ist zweckmäßig in der Höhe verstellbar. Die Nockenwalzen 47, 48 sind, wie die Bewegungspfeile in Figur 3 erkennen lassen, gegenläufig angetrieben und so angeordnet, dass ihre Nocken 49 jeweils in dieselbe Richtung weisen. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass die Nockenwalzen 47, 48 mit ihren Nocken 49 abwechselnd durch die Schlitze 50 des jeweils benachbarten Leitblechs 45, 46 durchgreifen.The cam rollers 47, 48 are as best as possible FIG. 4 can be seen, provided in two the above-mentioned tracks length ranges each with many, narrow disc-shaped cam, between which narrow gaps are present. The baffles 45, 46 are as out FIG. 5 can be seen provided with the narrow, disc-shaped cam 49, narrow slots 50, in which the cam 49 can engage like a comb, as from Fig. 4 is clearly visible. The wedge 44 is suitably adjustable in height. The cam rollers 47, 48 are, like the movement arrows in FIG. 3 can recognize, driven in opposite directions and arranged so that their cams 49 each point in the same direction. This ensures that the cam rollers 47, 48 with their cams 49 alternately pass through the slots 50 of the respective adjacent guide plate 45, 46.

Die Nockenwalzen 47, 48 besitzen jeweils, wie Figur 4 anschaulich zeigt, eine durchgehende Walze, auf welche Elemente 51, die jeweils mehrere Nocken 49 enthalten, aufgeklemmt sind. Die genannten Wellen sind im Bereich ihrer Enden auf den Seitenwänden des zugeordneten Modulgestells des oberen Moduls 22 gelagert. Dieses ist im dargestellten Beispiel mit einer Zwischenwand versehen, auf welcher die genannten Wellen ebenfalls abgestützt sein können, was trotz großer Länge und trotz großer durch die Elemente 51 verursachten Unwuchten eine hohe Stabilität und einen ruhigen Lauf gewährleistet.The cam rollers 47, 48 each have, as FIG. 4 clearly shows a continuous roller on which elements 51, each containing a plurality of cam 49, are clamped. Said waves are mounted in the region of their ends on the side walls of the associated module frame of the upper module 22. This is provided in the illustrated example with an intermediate wall on which said waves can also be supported, which ensures despite high length and despite large caused by the elements 51 imbalances high stability and smooth running.

Aus der Figur 6 ergibt sich eine angetriebene Bandwalze 55 der Bandleitungen 11, 12. Die Bandwalze 55 besitzt ebenfalls eine über die ganze Breite durchgehende, mit ihren Enden auf den Seitenwänden I und II gelagerte und mittig auf einer Zwischenwand 56 abgestützte Welle 57. Diese ist im Bereich jeder Spur, d.h. im Bereich zwischen der Zwischenwand 56 und jeweils einer Seitenwand I bzw. II mit den Bändern 58 der zugehörigen Bandleitung zugeordneten Bandrollen oder, wie im dargestellten Beispiel mit von jeweils mehreren Bändern 58 umschlugenen Bandtrommeln 59 versehen. Der Antrieb der Bandwalze 55 erfolgt über einen Treibriemen 60, dessen Antrieb von einem Antriebsmotor eines benachbarten Bearbeitungsaggregats, zweckmäßig vom der Querschneideinrichtung 9 zugeordneten Antriebsmotor 28 abgeleitet wird. Im Hinblick auf die gegenseitige Verdrehbarkeit der beiden Moduln 22, 23 ist die Welle 57 im Bereich beider Enden mit symmetrisch zur Mittelebene angeordneten Riemenscheiben 61 versehen, denen jeweils ein zur Querschneideinrichtung 9 führender Treibriemen 60 zugeordnet sein kann. Sofern nur ein derartiger Treibriemen vorgesehen ist, wird dieser auf die auf der richtigen Seite sich befindende Riemenscheibe 61 aufgelegt. Die andere bleibt leer.From the FIG. 6 The belt roller 55 also has a continuous width across the entire width, with their ends mounted on the side walls I and II and centrally supported on an intermediate wall 56 shaft 57. This is in the range of each track that is, in the area between the intermediate wall 56 and one side wall I and II respectively with the bands 58 of the associated ribbon line associated tape rolls or, as in the example shown with each of several bands 58 umschlugenen tape drums 59. The drive of the belt roller 55 via a drive belt 60, the drive of which is derived from a drive motor of an adjacent processing unit, suitably from the cross cutting device 9 associated drive motor 28. With regard to the mutual rotatability of the two modules 22, 23, the shaft 57 is provided in the region of both ends with symmetrically arranged to the median plane pulleys 61, each of which a transverse cutting device 9 leading drive belt 60 may be assigned. If only such a drive belt is provided, this is placed on the located on the right side pulley 61. The other one remains empty.

Die Welle 57 dreht sich in jedem Fall auf ihrer ganzen Länge. Die den beiden Spuren zugeordneten Bänder 58 sind jedoch spurweise aktivierbar bzw. passivierbar. Hierzu können die zugeordneten Bandrollen bzw. Bandtrommeln 59 mittels einer Kupplung 62 wahlweise mit der Welle 57 gekuppelt werden. Von der antriebsmäßig mit der Querschneideinrichtung 9 verbundenen Welle 57 der ersten Bandwalze 55 kann der Antrieb auf weitere, angetriebene Bandwalzen weitergeleitet werden. Hierzu ist auf einem Ende der Welle 57 eine zweite Riemenscheibe 63 vorgesehen, von der ein Treibriemen 64 zu einer entsprechenden Riemenscheibe einer weiteren Bandwalze führt.The shaft 57 rotates in any case along its entire length. However, the bands 58 assigned to the two tracks can be activated or passivated on a track-by-track basis. For this purpose, the associated tape reels or tape reels 59 can be selectively coupled to the shaft 57 by means of a coupling 62. Of the drivingly connected to the cross cutting device 9 shaft 57 of the first belt roller 55, the drive can be forwarded to other, driven belt rollers. For this purpose, a second pulley 63 is provided on one end of the shaft 57, from which a drive belt 64 leads to a corresponding pulley of a further belt roller.

Die den Enden der Bandleitungen 11, 12 zugeordneten Bremseinrichtungen 14 enthalten, wie aus Figur 7 hervorgeht, über der Maschinenbreite jeweils zwei mit Abstand nebeneinander angeordnete Bremsnockensätze 65, die unabhängig voneinander mittels eines jeweils zugeordneten Stellmotors 66 gegenüber einem zugeordneten Gegenorgan verstellbar sind. Den Stellmotoren 66 können die Bremswirkung überwachende Sensoren 67 zugeordnet sein. Auf diese Weise kann der Bremsspalt individuell eingestellt werden.The ends of the strip lines 11, 12 associated with braking devices 14, as shown FIG. 7 shows, over the machine width in each case two spaced apart brake cam sets 65, which independently of each other by means of a respective associated servo motor 66 against an associated Counterorgan are adjustable. The servomotors 66 may be associated with the braking effect monitoring sensors 67. In this way, the brake gap can be adjusted individually.

Die oberhalb der Auslagebänder 16 vorgesehenen Schaufelräder 15 enthalten, wie aus Figur 8 hervorgeht, über der Maschinenbreite jeweils zwei mit Abstand nebeneinander angeordnete Schaufelsätze 67, wobei jedem Schaufelsatz 68 jeweils ein eigenes Auslegeband 16 zugeordnet sein kann. In Folge dieser Zweispurigkeit sind auch jeweils zwei Auslegebänder 16 nebeneinander angeordnet, von denen in Figur 1 jeweils nur eines sichtbar ist.The provided above the delivery belts 16 paddle wheels 15, as shown FIG. 8 shows, over the machine width in each case two spaced apart blade sets 67, wherein each blade set 68 each have its own delivery belt 16 may be assigned. As a result of this Zweispurigkeit each two Auslegebänder 16 are arranged side by side, of which in FIG. 1 only one is visible at a time.

Gemäß dem oben beschriebenen Beispiel enthält das Maschinengestell 17 nur das obere Modul 22 und das untere Modul 23, also nur zwei Moduln. Es wäre jedoch auch denkbar, mehrere Moduln vorzusehen. Hierzu könnte z.B. das obere Modul 22 der Anordnung gemäß Figur 1 in mehrere Teilmoduln, beispielsweise ein die Querschneideinrichtung 9 enthaltendes erstes Teilmodul und ein die Splittingeinrichtung 10 enthaltendes, zweites Teilmodul unterteilt sein. Die Teilfuge würde dabei zweckmäig direkt unterhalb der Querschneideinrichtung 10 liegen.According to the example described above, the machine frame 17 includes only the upper module 22 and the lower module 23, so only two modules. However, it would also be conceivable to provide several modules. For this purpose, for example, the upper module 22 of the arrangement according to FIG. 1 into a plurality of sub-modules, for example a first sub-module containing the cross-cutting device 9 and a second sub-module containing the splitting device 10. The parting would expediently lie directly below the cross-cutting device 10.

Vorstehend ist zwar ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung näher erläutert, ohne dass jedoch hiermit eine Beschränkung sein soll. Vielmehr stehen dem Fachmann eine Reihe von Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung, um die allgemeine Idee an die Verhältnisse des Einzelfalls anzupassen.Although a preferred embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail above, without, however, is intended to be a limitation. Instead, a number of options are available to the person skilled in the art in order to adapt the general idea to the circumstances of the individual case.
