Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for preforming and rounding book blocks for industrial hardbound books.
  • the DE102004026627 A1 proposes a device for preforming, rounding and squeezing the backs of book blocks in a single processing station. This development seeks to reduce the number of parts that have been replaced so far, by assigning functions previously assigned to different parts to a single fitting. This fitting also serves as an anvil during preforming, as a template when rounding and as a pressing tool.
  • the EP1350634 A2 deals with the design of a fitting. The replacement of such fittings should be avoided by using a shape-changing fitting.
  • the preforming tools each consist of two cooperating pressure bodies, which can be moved to adapt to the different thickness of the book block by means of a drive transversely to the longitudinal direction toward or away from each other.
  • Such a book preforming and rounding apparatus in a book making machine has a transport means and a support ledge which positions the book block on an adjustable bed Loading height can be loaded into the device so that the front section of the book block comes to rest on the support bar.
  • the device has a lifting device with a preforming die that is adjustably arranged in the vertical direction above the back of the book block to be rounded and with at least two prism strips for rolling around.
  • the prism bars are above the back of the Book blocks in the longitudinal direction spaced from each other arranged preforming tools for direct contact with the back of the book block.
  • the device has a round device with two counter-rotating driven in such a way round rollers that they are rotatable about parallel axes of rotation.
  • the invention provides that, depending on parameters of the book block actuators of the processing station change at least one adjustment of the fewest possible with the back of the book block in contact parts in their position and / or position.
  • the device according to the invention has at least one first drive which is connected to at least one of the preforming tools in order to displace the at least one preforming tool following the longitudinal direction parallel to the axes of rotation so that the distance of the preforming tools in the longitudinal direction can be changed by means of the at least one drive.
  • the inventive method for preforming and rolling the book block in which first a transport device transports the book block with its front section in a loading height on a support bar, in which continue to be placed by means of a lifting device for preforming the book block preforming tools at least on a spine of the book block and in the
  • a round device for rolling around rolling on the sides of the bookbucket provides that in preparation for preforming the above the back of the book block in the longitudinal direction spaced from each other arranged preforming tools by means of a first drive the longitudinal direction following to each other or moved away from each other.
  • the device can be adapted to the production process more flexible, which at least favors automation.
  • the number of effective parts can be reduced.
  • At least one second drive is connected at least indirectly to the support strip and / or the preforming punch and operated from a machine control with adjustment of the block thickness to adjust the loading height and / or the height position of the preforming tools in dependence of the block thickness of the book block ,
  • the loading height was in known devices according to the Rundeweg because the folded edge after loading and rounds must always be at a certain height.
  • the device is at format change according to the advantageous embodiment, at least additionally adjusted depending on the block thickness. This effort is economical because fewer replacement parts held and these must be replaced less frequently.
  • the preforming tools are designed as prismatic strips with prism edges running in a V-shaped manner in cross-section.
  • the prism bars have oblique prism edges that work equally well over a wide range for different thicknesses of the book block, but would normally allow only certain widths of the book.
  • the device according to the invention can now react with an altered height of the preform device.
  • the loading height is calculated and adjusted in advantageous controls or arrangements according to the invention so that in a fixed round path the spines of different thick book block lie on a horizontal.
  • the support ledge is adjusted with the same control or regulation until the front cut lies against its circular surface, and the preshaping device with the prism bar moves according to the book thickness until the prism edges rest against the spine of the book.
  • the preforming die has at least one carriage and at least one prism bar, preferably exactly two prism bars, is / are arranged on a respective carriage.
  • the preforming die has at least one slide and as the only preforming tools with contact with the back of the book block exactly two prismatic strips are arranged on a respective slide.
  • the prism strips are replaceable depending on the block thickness, wherein they each cover a thickness range of about 30 mm to 40 mm.
  • two sets of two prism bars are interchangeably used, of which a small pair of prism bars cover the thickness range of 5 mm to 40 mm and a large pair of prism strips the thickness range of 40 mm to 80 mm.
  • the preforming tools are driven coupled to each other in such a way that they are exclusively adjustable symmetrically to a vertical center axis of the book block.
  • the preforming tools are adjustable by means of a single adjusting spindle, preferably with right-hand / left-hand thread symmetrically toward or away from one another.
  • the loading height and / or the stroke of the preforming punch is / are set as a function of at least the block thickness, in particular by about 0.2 mm per 1 mm block thickness, particularly preferably additionally as a function of selectable round radii.
  • an adaptation of the device additionally takes place as a function of the geometric shape of the inserted and / or usable prism edges.
  • the loading height is adjusted exclusively by an adjustment of the support strip depending on Rundeweg, block thickness of the book block, distance of the folded edge of the back of the book block and a travel of outer prism edges of prism molds formed as preforming.
  • the preforming tools are adjusted in dependence on at least one parameter of the book block by a predetermined amount X in the vertical direction Y.
  • the preforming tools are dependent on at least one parameter of the book block adjusted by a predetermined distance in the horizontal direction to each other, namely symmetrically with respect to a central axis of the book block.
  • FIG. 1 shows an inventive device 10 for preforming and rounding of a book block 1,1 'with two different thicknesses, shown on the one hand with a solid line and the other with dotted line.
  • Preforming tools 27 are available for preforming, which are designed as prism strips 27 ' and above a back 3 of the book block 1,1 'are arranged and at a later time (see. FIG. 2 ) will act on the back 3.
  • the prism strips 27 'of embodiments according to the invention are able, with their prism edges 30 and because of their particular width, to cover a rather large thickness range of book block 1, 1'.
  • the device 10 consists above the book block 1,1 'of two carriages 13, 14 with exchangeable prism strips 27'. At a distance from the book block 1, 1 ', a round device 50 with round rollers 57, 58 is shown, between which the book block 1, 1' can be clamped.
  • the prism bar 27 ' is in FIG. 1 represented simultaneously in an upper and a lower position. In the lower position, the prism edges 30 touch the back 3 of the thicker book block 1. Dash-dotted is shown as the prism bar 27 'with their prism edges 30 touch the back 3 of the less thick book block 1'.
  • the difference between these two representations shows the format-dependent adjustment path of the device 10 taken into account according to an advantageous method according to the invention, ie a predetermined amount X by which the respective preforming tools 27 are adjusted in a vertical direction Y as a function of at least one parameter of the book block 1, 1 ' ,
  • the prism edges 30 press during preforming with a defined force on the back 3 of the book block 1,1 'and thus press a slidably on a support bar 63 front section 2 of the book block 1 and 1' with a defined force against a circular surface 64 of the support bar 63rd
  • preforming serves only for aligning the book blocks 1, 1'.
  • support strips 63 are then used, in which instead of the circular surface 64, a flat surface is provided and in which the prism bar 27 'has only a straight prism edge 30.
  • Guide rake 59, 60, the round rollers 57, 58 and side plates 53, 54 are in this case set so tight that the book block 1,1 'by the pressure of the prism bars 27' does not break out but still in the vertical direction Y is displaced.
  • An adjustment to a new format of the book block 1,1 ' is done according to a preferred method according to the invention with regard to a planned height adjustment of a preforming punch 11 by prior adjustment of a loading height of the device 10, namely the prism bar 27' in the direction of the back 3 of the respective book block 1 , 1 'and / or by a specific adjustment of a support bar 63 in the vertical direction Y.
