Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for redirecting signatures in a web-fed rotary printing press, e.g. B. in a folder of the printing press, after the preamble of claim 1.
  • Conventional web-fed rotary printing machines usually include stationary in the Printers arranged printing units. After passing through the printing units, a web is created guided through folding and cutting units, in which the web is folded and lengthways and crosswise is cut so that printed products such.
  • B. in the form of signatures, which are further processed into newspapers, magazines or similar.
  • the train is in Signatures cut, which usually go to one paddle wheel or to another Delivery device are transported, by means of which they are then z. B. on one Conveyor belt are put down.
  • the printing press can be designed so that the Signatures evenly spread over several by using one deflection device Paddle wheels or other delivery devices are distributed.
  • Known Diverters have the disadvantage of being on and off the web cut signatures leave unwanted pressure marks and not along the Allow the signature to be positively guided, so that the risk of further damage to the web and the occurrence of paper jams in the Printing press exists.
  • FIG. 1A and 1B show a known deflection device with a rotatable wedge 108, by means of its signatures on one side of the wedge or the other side of the wedge be directed.
  • the wedge 108 is in a manner in a signature flow path 101 arranged that a tip of the wedge 108 is directed towards the incoming signature stream is. Between successive ones running along the signature current path There is a space between signatures. In each space the wedge 108 can do so be rotated so that it directs the following signature in a different direction.
  • Such Construction typically includes a nip 102 which is one of a first and upstream of the second cutting cylinder 105, 107 formed cutting device 104, and a roller gap 106 arranged downstream of the cutting device 104 Roll nip 106 emerging signatures are from the wedge 108 towards one of the 1A or 112, or one of the two in FIG. 1B shown conveyors 114, 116 steered.
  • Such a deflection device has several disadvantages due to the movable Wedge it can e.g. B. for the formation of pressure points on the signatures and the creation come from paper jams in the press. Likewise, the route becomes through the wedge extended on the signature transport path on which the signatures are not positively guided because there is no compulsory guidance of the signatures along the wedge sides. Thereby there is an increased risk that the web or the signatures are not exact and free of interference be passed through the printing press, so that a paper jam forms and the Signatures misaligned, crumpled, torn or otherwise damaged become.
  • US 4,373,713 describes e.g. B. a arranged in a stream of signatures deflector, which a Includes a pair of movable deflection cylinders adjacent to the signature stream.
  • No. 4,729,282 describes a deflection device with a stationary wedge, the tip of which is directed in the direction of signature, and two deflection rollers, which together one Form the nip and each have an eccentric axis of rotation.
  • a deflection device with a stationary wedge, the tip of which is directed in the direction of signature, and two deflection rollers, which together one Form the nip and each have an eccentric axis of rotation.
  • the used wedge the distance that the signatures cover without forced guidance, lengthened and increased the risk of pressure sores.
  • US 5,538,242 describes a signature deflection device with two along one Signature trajectory offset cylinders.
  • the device comprises tapes or Belts, which are essentially along the trajectory up to the cylinders, then partially around the cylinders and in different directions away from the cylinders to run.
  • the signatures moved along the path towards the cylinders are between the tapes are gripped and released when the tapes are around the cylinder and thus run in different directions.
  • the signatures are forced into the described device not maintained along the entire trajectory.
  • the signatures are transported by being clamped between the tapes.
  • forced guidance by belts is not as reliable as by cylinders, which firmly grasp the signatures.
  • the bands also add complexity to the Device increases, and a difference in speed between the belts may increase damage the signatures and increases the risk of paper jams in the Printing press.
  • Due to the staggered arrangement described in US 5,538,242 Cylinders are also the signatures on the route along the trajectory between the cylinders are only guided on one side. This means that the signatures at least on the Distance along the trajectory between the deflection cylinders and from the second Deflection cylinder and a receiving device, for. B. a paddle wheel or one another belt transport device can not be positively guided. The lack of one Forced guidance along the transport track can damage the track and the Signatures and lead to a paper jam.
  • US 5,702,100 describes a deflection device for signatures in a folder Printing press. Signatures become through a set of high-speed tapes transported a deflection device, which optionally deflects the signatures.
  • the deflection device described in this document comprises two rotating arrangements, which each comprise at least two rollers. If the arrangements are on top of each other are rotated in a coordinated manner, the outer edges of the rotating arrangements form overlapping bow.
  • the device described has some disadvantages the rotational movement of the two arrangements z. B. be carefully coordinated to the Change the exit angle of the signatures from the nip. This vote requires a relatively complex switch / control device that is also strong enough must be to rotate the assemblies at a speed that the Corresponds to the speed of the signatures between the arrangements.
  • the in Deflection devices described in US Pat. No. 5,702,100 also use belts, which results in poor guidance of the web and the signatures, what in turn can damage the signatures and lead to paper jams.
  • EP 0 297 282 B1 describes cutting cylinders which together as a unit a web transport path running between the cutting cylinders on the side are movable. 1 and 2 of this document show cut signatures on the one side or the other of a wedge between the cutting cylinders emerge and close one of two receptacles formed from strips can be guided.
  • use of the wedge and associated tapes has several disadvantages, including: a. the Formation of pressure points on the signatures and poor guidance.
  • the present invention relates to an easy to manufacture and use Deflecting device with low mass for a web-fed rotary printing press, which a permanent forced management of the continuous signatures enables and in the Proximity of receiving devices of the printing press can be arranged Record signatures that have passed the deflection device.
  • the Deflection device can be both using tapes and without tapes be trained and yet a maximum forced guidance of the web or signatures ensure during the deflection process.
  • two cylinders form one Cylinder gap through which signatures are passed.
  • the axis of rotation is one of the cylinders stationary, while the axis of rotation of the other cylinder is movable along an arc line is, so that the exit angle of the cylinder gap formed by the two cylinders is changeable, the distance between the axes of rotation of the two cylinders remaining constant.
  • the cylinders are over a yoke connected with each other.
  • the exit angle of the cylinder gap is preferably thereby changed that the yoke by one parallel to the axes of rotation of the cylinders and by both Rotation axes is rotated equally spaced rotation axis.
  • the deflection of a path or signature passing through the cylinder gap can by rotating the cylinder gap around either a) an axis of rotation of one of the cylinders or b) the center line of the cylinder gap or an axis of rotation arranged near the center line done to align the cylinder gap in a certain direction.
  • rollers 200 and 210 are preferably by a common motor with essentially the same Speed, for example with the speed of the printing press or Folder driven.

  • the transport route alternately to a variety of receptacles e.g. B. paddle wheels or Conveyor belts, etc. are aligned. That is, when the leading roller 200 is moved forward, the nip is rotated about the axis 201 so that, as in 2A, the signature 240 is guided below the wedge 220. Will the leading roller 200 is moved backward, as shown in Fig. 2B, the Signature 240 performed above the wedge 220.
  • the wedge 220 is also eliminated and each of the two rollers can be used as the movable leading roller be formed.
