Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for opening and transporting folded printed products.
  • a device of this type is disclosed in the older, subsequently published CH patent application No. 03 724 / 92-1.
  • Folded printed products are held during folding by means of transport clamps of a conveyor device, and are transported hanging. With their end region opposite the fold, they come to rest on a support element, as a result of which the end region, as seen in the conveying direction, is bent backwards.
  • An opening assembly has a star-shaped support element, on the radial support arms of which grippers are arranged. These have a gripper jaw attached to the support arm and a gripper tongue that cooperates with the gripper tongue and is mounted on the support element. Openings in the gripper jaw and the gripper tongue on the clamping-active side can be connected to a vacuum source.
  • a gripper picks up the printed product supported in the edge area from behind, which is then grasped and held by closing the gripper at the edge opposite the fold.
  • the gripper tongue is moved into the open position, the two product parts being held on the gripper tongue or gripper jaw and being lifted apart from one another as a result of the openings now connected to the vacuum source.
  • By separating the opening of the gripper jaw from the vacuum source the corresponding part of the product below is released.
  • This is pushed off the gripper jaw by means of an angle lever mounted on the support element, which carries at its end a puncturing element that is inserted between the printed products that are lifted from one another. This will open the print product further.
  • a hold-open element engages between the two product parts lifted from each other, after which the opening of the gripper tongue is also separated from the vacuum source.
  • the printed products are only slightly lifted apart from one another by the suction head-like gripper jaws and gripper tongues.
  • the actual opening takes place by pushing off one part of the product from the gripper jaw by means of the piercing element and angle lever. After being pushed off, the removed part of the product is no longer held, which can limit the permissible processing speed. Furthermore, the edge opposite the fold is acted upon when pushing off, which could lead to injuries to the printed product.
  • the achievable opening of the printed product is limited and the opening is not accessible along the entire edge.
  • the printed products are held at their fold by means of transport clamps, transported essentially in a vertical hanging position and supported with their end region bent forward in the conveying direction and opposite the fold, for example pushed in the conveying direction.
  • This gives the open edge of the printed products opposite the fold, a defined position stabilizes the printed products by bending and keeps them at a safe distance from one another, so that an opening element from above the supporting element supporting the printed products can be inserted between printed products.
  • This also ensures access to the supported edge area from above, so that the opening element in the edge area can lay flat against the product part located above in order to hold it in place.
  • the opening element engages between the printed products from above the support element and lies against them and a holding element lies against the printed product from below, the holding of the product parts is possible during the entire opening process, which ensures safe opening at high processing speed. Moreover, there are no parts of the opening assembly in the area of the open edge opposite the fold. A hold-open element can thus intervene anywhere between the product parts lifted off one another. In addition, a large opening stroke can be achieved, since the circulating spell of the holding element and the movement path of the opening element can have an independent shape.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention is specified in claim 2. Since that If the opening element engages from the side between the printed products, the device can be simple and space-saving.
  • the corresponding part of the product is bent around a roller in the direction downwards and optionally backwards.
  • the end of the corresponding product part opposite the fold is conveyed in the direction towards the bottom of the hold-open element, whereby at the same time the printed product is stretched while reducing the bend caused by the support element.
  • the also preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention according to claim 7 allows a high processing capacity with smooth running of the device.
  • the product part held by the opening element is pulled along a curved path in the conveying direction F and in the direction downward.
  • the bend in the product part is reduced and quick combing of the hold-open element with the product part is achieved.
  • FIG. 1 shows a conveyor device 10 of a known type, which has individually controllable transport clamps 16 which are arranged at a distance from a conveyor chain 14 which is driven in rotation in the conveying direction F and at conveyor speed v f and is guided in a channel 12.
  • the swivel position of the transport clamps 16 about an axis running at right angles to the conveying direction F is controlled by means of fixed swivel links 18, which interact with the follow rollers 20, 20 'of the transport clamps 16, in such a way that the clamp jaw 22 in the section of the conveying device 10 shown is essentially vertical Is directed downwards.
  • a trigger element is arranged above approximately the center of an indicated processing drum 24 in order to control the opening of the gripping mouth 22.
  • Transport clips 16 of this type are known, for example, from EP-A-0 557 680 and the corresponding US patent application No. 08/018 749.
  • the clamp mouth 22 of the transport clamps 16 is aligned at right angles to the conveying direction F and is intended in each case to hold a folded printed product 26 in an area adjacent to the fold 28 running approximately in a horizontal direction and approximately at right angles to the conveying direction F.
  • the fold connects two product parts 30, 32, the first product part 30, seen in the conveying direction F, trailing with respect to the second product part 32.
  • the open edge opposite the fold 28, the so-called flower, of the printed products 26 is designated by 34.
  • An opening unit 36 which is to be described in more detail below, is arranged below the section of the conveying device 10 which runs approximately in the horizontal direction.
  • a support element 38 which is likewise arranged below the conveyor device 10, is connected directly upstream of the opening unit 36 and has endless support bands 42 guided around deflection rollers 40, the upper support-effective strand 42 'of which, viewed in the conveying direction F, is arranged to rise slightly and is driven in the circumferential direction S at a speed v s , which is larger, preferably twice as large, as the conveying speed V f .
  • the printed products 26 come to rest with the edge 34 on the support tape 42 and are bent forward in the course of further transport in the conveying direction F, so that they rest flat on the support tape 42 with their end area 44 adjoining the edge 34 .
  • the support bands 42 thus form a conveying plane 38 ′ which pushes the end region 44 of the printed products 26 in the conveying direction F.
  • This has a suction roller 46, which is mounted on the same, horizontally and at right angles to the conveying direction F, hollow shaft 48 as the deflection rollers 40 for the support bands 42 at the end of the support element 38 are freely rotatable.
  • the suction roller 46 has three suction heads 50 distributed uniformly in the circumferential direction, the orbit of which essentially affects the conveying plane 38 'defined by the upper run 42' of the support bands 42.
  • Radial passages 52 connect to the suction heads 50 through the suction roller 46 and interact with openings in the hollow shaft 48 temporarily connect the suction heads 50, depending on the rotational position of the suction roller 46, to the inside of the hollow shaft 48, which is connected to a vacuum source, not shown.
  • a tubular control pin 54 engages in the hollow shaft 38 from the end on the opening assembly side, the rotational position of which is adjustable with respect to the hollow shaft 48 and has a ventilation channel 56 in order to immediately after the connection of a radial passage 52 to the inside of the hollow shaft 48 has been separated, the radial passage 52 with the Connect environment and to ventilate the relevant suction head 50. As can be seen in particular from FIGS.
  • the suction roller 46 is connected via a toothed belt drive 58 to a drive shaft 60 driven in time with the conveying device 10 such that the suction heads 50 travel a distance in the direction of rotation U (see FIG. 5). which corresponds to approximately 75% of the distance that the transport clips 16 travel in the same time.
  • the opening assembly 36 is offset in the direction of the axis of the hollow shaft 48 outside of the support element 38 formed by the support straps 42 outermost support band 42 on this side.
  • the opening unit 36 has on the side of the suction roller 46 facing away from the support tapes 42 a disk-like support element 62 which is freely rotatably mounted on an axle 64 fastened to the frame 63.
  • the axis 64 runs at right angles to the conveying direction F and in the horizontal direction and is arranged offset with respect to the hollow shaft 48 in an approximately vertical direction towards the bottom.
  • bearing blocks 66 are fastened to the support element 62 distributed in the circumferential direction, on the bearing shafts 68 of which, at right angles to the axis 64 and in the tangential direction, a pivotable support arm 70 is pivotally mounted.
  • the latter carries an opening element 72 designed as a suction head on one end and a control roller 76 interacting with control links 74 on the other.
