Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for collecting folded printed sheets according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a number of lay-up stations are arranged along a collecting conveyor, at which the printed sheets are removed from a stack, opened and placed astride the collecting conveyor or on the printed sheets already located thereon (see, for example, CH-PS 412.795). Since the printed sheets have to be removed individually from stacks, the working speed of such devices cannot be increased at will. Furthermore, stacks must first be formed from the printing sheets leaving the rotary printing machine in scale formation, which then have to be brought to the lay-up stations. However, this requires a considerable amount of time, installations and equipment and / or human labor.
  • the present invention is based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned at the outset which, with the simplest possible construction and space-saving construction, allows printing sheets to be collected at a higher speed than previously.
  • a plurality of circumferential collecting conveyors are provided which can run a plurality of bus was going on simultaneously.
  • Each loading device now feeds several collecting conveyors, so that printed sheets are placed on each collecting conveyor in short succession at each loading point. It is not necessary to correspondingly increase the feed speed of the collecting conveyors, since essentially the time for one rotation of the collecting conveyors around the common rotating axis is available for feeding the printed sheets. Since the printed sheets run through a helical or helical path, a relatively small overall length is possible in spite of the high performance in the feed direction.
  • the collecting conveyors can move past one another during the rotation, without bumping against one another and without the printed sheets lying on being damaged, and on the other hand the collecting conveyors being in scale formation incoming printing sheets are able to take up properly.
  • the collecting device 1 has a base plate 2 with bearing blocks 3 and 3 ', in which the shaft 4 of a collecting drum 5 is mounted.
  • the bearing block 3 is assumed to be transparent.
  • Two disk-shaped bearing elements 6, 7 are fastened on the shaft 4 at a distance from one another, of which the bearing element 6 is also assumed to be transparent in FIG. 2.
  • a number of collecting conveyors 8 are arranged between the bearing elements 6, 7 and are rotatably mounted in the bearing elements 6 and 7, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the collecting conveyors 8 run parallel to one another and to the shaft 4 of the collecting drum 5 and are arranged around this shaft 4.
  • a path conveyor 19 is arranged behind the last feed conveyor 15, which is shown purely schematically and has grippers 20 which are arranged at a mutual distance and are driven in rotation in the direction of arrow C. These grippers grip the end products 21 consisting of a plurality of printed sheets 16, 17, 18 lying one above the other and bring them to a further processing station, not shown.
  • each feed conveyor has grippers 22 which are arranged at a mutual distance from one another and which extend to a channel 23, which is not shown, and which extends in a channel 23 are driven in the direction of arrow D rotating traction member attached.
  • the grippers 22 hold the supplied printed sheets 16 (or 17 and 18) at their folded edge 24.
  • the printed sheets 16 (and also the printed sheets 17 and 18) are fed by the feed conveyor 13 (or 14 and 15) so that the the fold edge 24 opposite Open side edge 25 of the printed sheets 16, seen in the conveying direction D of the feed conveyor 13, run ahead.
  • the printed sheets 16 are not folded in the middle, so that the lower part 16a of the printed sheets 16 is longer than the other part 16b and protrudes over the latter on this open side edge 25.
  • This protruding section of the underlying printed sheet part 16a, the so-called pre-fold, is designated by 26.
  • An opening device 27 is arranged below each feed conveyor 13, 14, 15. This has retaining clips 28 which are attached at a mutual distance to a traction element 29 driven in the direction of the arrow E.
  • the retaining clips 28 are open to the rear, as seen in their circumferential direction E, and serve to hold the printed sheet part 16a located below on the projecting edge section 26.
  • Printed sheet 16 conveyed in the direction of arrow D approximately above the collecting conveyor 8 already moved in between the two printed sheet parts 16a and 16b, the associated gripper 22 is opened and the printed sheet 16 is released.
  • the latter now straddles the collecting conveyor 8 designed in the manner of a gable roof.
  • Each of these collecting conveyors 8 has a rotating drive conveyor, not shown in the figures, which is provided with drivers 31, which are only shown schematically in FIG. 1.
  • the conveyor arrangement pushes the printed products 16, 17, 18 placed in the longitudinal direction of the collecting conveyor 8, ie in the direction of the arrow B (FIG. 1).
  • FIG. 4 showing a section through the collecting device 1 approximately along the line IV-IV in FIG. 3.
  • Each collecting conveyor 8 is provided on each end face with projecting pivots 32, 33 which define an axis of rotation 34 for the collecting conveyor 8.
  • Each pivot 32, 33 is mounted at one end of a control lever 35 or 36 in this.
  • One of these control levers is designed as a straight lever 35, while the opposite control lever 36 is bent.
  • Each collecting conveyor 8 is thus mounted on one side in a straight control lever 35 and on the other side in a cranked control lever 36, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 3.
  • a straight control lever 35 is arranged on each side of the collecting conveyor 8 between two cranked control levers 36, ie straight and cranked control levers 35, 36 alternate.
  • the control levers 35, 36 are pivotable on a journal 37 ge stores, which is attached to the bearing element 6 or 7.
  • An arm 38 protrudes outward from the control levers 35, 36 between its bearing point defined by the bearing pin 37 and the bearing point for the pivot pins 32, 33 of the collecting conveyor 8, which arm carries a control roller 39 at its end.
  • This control roller engages in a guide groove 40 of a cam 41 or 42 designed as a link.
  • the two control cams 41, 42 are arranged on the outside of the bearing elements 6, 7 and fastened to a frame 43 or 44, which is connected to the base plate 2.
  • the control levers 35, 36 are now arranged such that they point forward in the direction of rotation A of the collecting drum 5, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 4.
  • the two control cams 41, 42 have three adjoining sections 45, 46 and 47 (FIG. 4).
  • the first section 45 of the control cams 41, 42 is designed in the form of a circular arc and extends coaxially with the axis of rotation 4a. This first section 45, viewed in the direction of rotation A of the collecting drum 5, merges approximately at the point denoted by F into the second section 47, the distance to the axis of rotation 4a of which, viewed in the direction of rotation A, becomes smaller and smaller.
  • the third section 47 of the control cams 41, 42 begins approximately at the point denoted by G and merges into the first section 45 approximately at point H. Viewed in the direction of rotation A, the distance of the third cam section 47 from the circumferential axis 4a from the transition point G increases.
  • control cams 41, 42 causes the control levers 35, 36 to be pivoted clockwise inward against the rotation axis 4a as the control rollers 39 have passed point F during the rotation of the collecting conveyor 8 in the direction of arrow A.
  • This also causes the collecting conveyors 8 to be pivoted inwards, which at a given speed of the collecting drum 5, because of the smaller distance from the axis of rotation 4a, results in a reduction in the rotational speed of the collecting conveyors 8.
  • the distance between adjacent collecting conveyors 8 is increased, whereby the largest distance in Fig. 4 is designated a.
  • the transition point G is located approximately in the transfer area 13a (or 14a, 15a), in which, as described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the printed sheets 16, 17, 18 are placed on the collecting conveyors 8. Due to the described design of the control curves 41, 42 corresponds the distance between adjacent collecting conveyors 8 in this transfer area 13a is approximately the distance between the printed sheets 16, 17, 18 in the incoming scale formation. This scale spacing corresponds approximately to the smallest distance b between successive collecting conveyors 8. This ensures that the supplied printed sheets 16, 17, 18 are properly taken over by the collecting conveyors 8. The fact that, as mentioned, the circulation speed of the collecting conveyors 8 in this transfer area 13a is reduced further contributes to this. Outside this transfer area 13a, the distance between adjacent collecting conveyors 8 is greater, which enables the collecting conveyors 8 to move past one another undisturbed at the two outermost lateral points (left and right in FIG. 4).
  • the collecting conveyors 8 are rotated in the manner to be described below during their rotation around the rotation axis 4a about their axis of rotation 34 such that they keep their vertical position with their ridge 8a always pointing upwards.
  • drive shafts 49 are rotatably mounted in the bearing elements 6, 7 and are arranged around the circumferential axis 4a.
  • two sprockets 50, 51 sit on these drive shafts 49.
  • the sprockets 50, 51 of adjacent drive shafts 49 are connected to one another by chains 52, the drive shafts 49 being divided into two separate groups, as shown in FIG. 4 emerges.
  • sprockets 55 and 56 On the drive shafts 49 there are two sprockets 55 and 56, which are arranged on opposite sides with respect to the collecting conveyor 8, as can be seen in particular from FIG. 3. Chains 57 and 58, which run over chain wheels 59 and 60, are guided over these chain wheels 55, 56. These sprockets 59, 60 are seated on the journals 37 of the straight control lever 35. Adjacent to the sprockets 59, 60 are seated on these journals 37, further sprockets 61 and 62, which are drive-connected to the sprockets 65, 66 via chains 63 and 64, respectively sit on the pivot 32 and 33, with which the collecting conveyor 8 are mounted in the straight control levers 35. The drive connection from the drive shafts 49 to the collecting conveyors 8 is thus only via the straight control lever 35, as can be seen in FIG. 3.
  • the collecting conveyors 8 are turned counterclockwise during their rotation around the axis of rotation 4a, i.e. in the direction of arrow I (Fig. 4), rotated about its axis of rotation 34 so that they maintain their vertical position.
  • the conveying arrangements of the collecting conveyors 8 are preferably driven by the described relative rotation of the collecting conveyors 8 with respect to the control levers 35, 36, as is the case in the Swiss patent application No. 2828/85 is described in more detail.
  • the feed speed of the conveyor arrangements is thus derived from the speed at which the collecting conveyors 8 rotate about their axis of rotation 34.
  • this rotational speed of the collecting conveyors 8 changes during the passage of the second and third sections 46, 47 of the control cams 41, 42 through the associated control rollers 39.
  • This accordingly has the consequence that the feed speed of the conveying arrangements of the collecting conveyors 8 also changes, ie one Slowdown and subsequent acceleration. While the printed sheets 16, 17, 18 are being conveyed by the collecting conveyors 8 at reduced speed, processing operations such as stapling, sticking on a label and the like can be carried out on these printed sheets.
