Definitions
- the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the sheets are first separated from the top of a sheet stack in a sheet feeder and offset from one another output as a sheet current. Furthermore, as a rule, after the separation of a sheet, its transport is required over a certain distance up to a contact area of the sheet-processing machine. Usually, the sheets of increased throughput are transported because of in a scale flow to the sheet processing machine. But it is also possible a single sheet feed.
- belt tables are in use, which allow a stream of sheets that are underschuppt against each other, or even sheets safely. Particularly advantageous in this case are so-called suction belt tables.
- Suction tapes are below the bow leading top of at least one box-shaped cavity, are guided over the conveyor belts in the form of suction belts.
- Suction belts are usually in the form of apertured flat belts.
- the suction belts are driven by at least one shaft arranged at one end of the suction belt, a first so-called belt roller, deflected by a second shaft or belt roller at the other end of the suction belt table and held in a straight position by a tensioning device ,
- a suction air supply is arranged for holding the sheet to the suction belts on the underside of the suction belt, by means of which the cavity is acted upon in the suction belt table.
- This suction air supply can be designed as a simple fan or as a blower connection.
- a so-called investment table is provided on the front or top marks for aligning the sheet leading edge are arranged in the transport direction and a so-called side mark for lateral alignment of the sheet.
- additional conveyor belts also called support belts, are designed as simple flat belts and are not subjected to suction.
- the additional conveyor belts or support belts usually run around with the surface above the table surface around the belt table and thus facilitate the transport of the sheet in the outside of the suction belts resting on the belt table area.
- the suction belt tables known in this way have various disadvantages. Since the laterally arranged additional conveyor belts, depending on the sheet size in the region of the edge of the sheet to be conveyed, it may already come during normal sheet transport disruption. Therefore, a complicated lateral adjustment of the conveyor belts may be required to remove them from the area of the sheet edges. This is especially important if the sheet edge used for the page orientation of the sheet comes to rest in the area of the conveyor belts. There is a great danger that the sheet edge will hang in the direction of the page orientation on one of the conveyor belts and the sheet warps during the shift. Proper alignment before feeding the sheet to the sheet processing machine is then no longer possible. In addition, the auxiliary belts tend to scratch sensitive sheets on their underside.
- a method and an apparatus for the shallow feeding of sheet-shaped substrates to a printing press known.
- a conveyor table which has exhaust openings in the area between and adjacent to the suction belts. This is intended to produce an air flow counter to the conveying direction of the conveyor table in order to reduce adhesion or electrostatic charging of the underfolded sheet guided on the conveyor table on the surface of the conveyor table.
- a disadvantage of the device is that the exhaust openings are only selectively or linearly arranged in the front, the printing press facing area of the conveyor table. It has proved to be very disadvantageous that the outflowing air is directed against the conveying direction of the conveyor table, since in this way the air is supplied to the leading edge of each sheet. This air flow acts particularly strong at the exit point. Therefore, in this case, the sheets tend to flutter because the blast air enters between the leading edges of the sheets.
- the aim of the invention is therefore to improve the belt table so that the sheet transport can be designed easily in a simple manner, with large formats no delivery resistances occur and the sheets are not damaged by the delivery process.
- the object of the invention is to further develop a generic belt table such that the sheet transport in any operating position, especially in the application of very large sheet sizes safely designed and easily readjusted, while the risk of scratching the sheet should be eliminated.
- the conveyor table is equipped, at least in its lateral guide areas, with a pneumatic device for the planar production of a thin air cushion.
- a pneumatic device for the planar production of a thin air cushion.
- blast air supplies and areal distributed blowing openings are provided in the guide areas.
- the sheet guide does not require the use of lateral support bands and designed in a very simple manner and can be readjusted.
- the sheets are guided in a very advantageous manner over the side table area, without the risk of scratching on sensitive sheet surfaces. This applies in particular to film materials, for example.
- the device of a planar blast air supply can also be provided in the region between the conveyor belts, so that the advantageous effect of the scratch-free guidance is also shown here.
- blow-suction nozzles can be used in the blowing openings. These are to be supplied with blown air under higher pressure but at a lower flow rate.
- Excess air from the air cushion can be removed at the front end of the conveyor table facing the sheet-processing machine via special openings in the table surface from all guide areas. At the same time this can be done via aeration devices parallel to any suction belts used within the surface of the conveyor table. Venting can also be done actively by suction.

- a guide region 5 is provided in each case in the outer region of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1.
- the guide areas 5 are made of low-friction material with possibly structured surface.
- the guide areas 5 serve to better guide the area of the sheet B overhanging outside the suction belts 2 on the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 - which grinds on the conveyor table or suction belt table 1. This is especially important for very large sheet sizes. Furthermore, there is also a guide area between the suction belts 2, on which the sheets B are ground.
- the sheet B in front of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 usually a sheet feeder (not shown here) is arranged, in which the sheet B are separated from the top of a sheet pile.
- the sheets B are then fed to the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 via a guide plate 11.
- a sheet-processing machine eg a printing press
- a delivery table 12 can be connected to the delivery table or suction belt table 1 with a delivery table 12 as shown here.

- the arrangement and grouping of the air supply devices can be carried out in the middle guide region 5.1 between the suction belts 2 in the same way as described above.
- FIG. 3 is a section of the conveyor table or Saugb selectedtisch 1 after Fig. 2 shown. Shown is the table surface in the region of the guide area 5. In this guide area 5, the ventilation openings 6 are provided. An air chamber 9 is connected to the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 in the area of the ventilation openings 6. This is parallel to the cavity 7 at the bottom of the conveyor table or Saugb selectedticians 1. At the air chamber 9 is a Blasluftzu entry 8 connected. The Blas Kunststoffzu operation 8 includes a switchable valve 15 for connecting or disconnecting the Blas povertyzuschreib.
- the exiting blown air forms only a relatively thin layer, virtually a film, on carrying air. It is also important that no blowing air enters between the sheets B. Therefore, the blast air is to blow at low pressure with relatively high volume
- the direction of the blast air emerging from the ventilation openings 6 can be used to convey the sheet B in the transport direction T. Furthermore, when the blowing direction of the ventilation openings 6 is oriented in the direction of the opposite lateral edges of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 or at an angle between 0 and 90 degrees to the direction of the outer edges of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1, a tightening effect on the sheets B can be achieved ,

- air chambers 10 are arranged in a row parallel to the transport direction T. These air chambers 10 each hold larger partial surfaces of the guide regions 5 than the air chambers 9 for air supply together. The size of the air chambers 10 has been varied in the transport direction T.
- the air chambers 10 are also provided with each other with a Blas Kunststoffzu entry 8.
- the one Blas Kunststoffzu entry 8 additionally has remotely controllable valves 15 (flaps) to limit the air supply quantity or local or to be able to switch off or on. By means of the valves 15 so the air supply is controlled by an air chamber 9, 10 to the next possible. In addition, it may be possible, for example, to supply the foremost air chamber 9, 10 with increased air pressure. Depending on the arrangement of the valves 15 and their controllability various operating modes are possible.
- one or more arrangements of relief bores 14 can be provided in the region of the outlet-side end of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 near the transition to the feed table 12 following the guide areas 5 and 5.1.
- These relief bores 14 are preferably below the conveyor table or Saugb basicticians 1 connected to the environment and without pressure. By means of the relief bores 14, excess carrying air can escape from the region below the foremost sheet B to be aligned. This ensures that the sheet B safely reaches all the required alignment elements in the feed table 12.
- the guide areas 5 and 5.1 are vented in a simple manner along the suction belts 2, if the suction belts 2 ventilation devices are assigned to eliminate creeping suction, as described above.

- the active air removal can be controlled and switched off and on in the bow cycle.
- control of the air supply to the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 can be designed so that the blast air is switched off in the guide areas 5 and 5.1 during transport of the last to be processed sheet B sequentially from the inlet end to the downstream end. This avoids that the no longer fully lying under sheet B are lifted off the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 and are conveyed inaccurate.
- valves 15 are opened or closed in the process of casserole of the first sheets B or when draining the last sheets B from the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 respectively corresponding to the area just covered. This ensures that in the surface parts of the guide area 5, which is covered by arch B, still carrying air is blown. On the other hand, the supply of blown air is interrupted in the free or just released area, so that individual sheets B are not excited to flutter.
- the blowing air can be applied to the Exposed ends of the sheets B, ie at the beginning of the bow of the first sheet B or at the end of the sheet of the last sheet B are reinforced, so as to increase the tension effect of the bow B for a short time.
- the last nozzles can also be designed as so-called blow-suction nozzles.
- blow-suction nozzles as a result of the special contour, an intake effect is additionally achieved by the outflowing air next to the air cushion, which effect is limited to the area of the blow-suction nozzle.
- nozzles in further surface parts or else all nozzles in the guide regions 5 and 5.1 can also be designed as blow-suction nozzles.
- Blow-suction nozzles are operated with higher air pressure at lower volume flow. Therefore, the air supply for the blow-suction nozzles can be made separately from other ventilation holes 6. This can be done as described in a simple manner by a group arrangement.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
Zur Zuführung von Bogen zu bogenverarbeitenden Maschinen, z. B. Bogendruckmaschinen, werden die Bogen zunächst von der Oberseite eines Bogenstapels in einem Bogenanleger vereinzelt und zueinander versetzt als Bogenstrom ausgegeben. Weiterhin ist in aller Regel nach der Vereinzelung eines Bogens dessen Transport über eine gewisse Strecke bis zu einem Anlagebereich der bogenverarbeitenden Maschine erforderlich. Üblicherweise werden die Bogen eines erhöhten Durchsatzes wegen in einem Schuppenstrom zur bogenverarbeitenden Maschine transportiert. Möglich ist aber auch eine Einzelbogenzufuhr. Beim Transport der Bogen von dem Bogenanleger zur bogenverarbeitenden Maschine sind daher so genannte Bändertische im Einsatz, die es erlauben, einen Strom von Bogen, die gegeneinander unterschuppt sind, oder auch Einzelbogen sicher zu führen. Besonders vorteilhaft sind hierbei so genannte Saugbändertische. Saugbändertische bestehen unterhalb der die Bogen führenden Oberseite aus wenigstens einem kastenförmigen Hohlraum, über den Transportbänder in Form von Saugbändern geführt werden. Saugbänder haben normalerweise die Form von mit Öffnungen versehenen Flachriemen. Zum Transport der Bogen über den Saugbändertisch werden die Saugbänder von wenigstens einer an einem Ende des Saugbändertisches angeordneten Welle, einer ersten so genannten Bänderwalze, angetrieben, über eine zweite Welle bzw. Bänderwalze am anderen Ende des Saugbändertisches umgelenkt und von einer Spannvorrichtung in gerader Lage gehalten. Beim Transport der Bogen mittels der Saugbänder wird zum Festhalten der Bogen an den Saugbändern an der Unterseite des Saugbändertisches eine Saugluftzufuhr angeordnet, mittels derer der Hohlraum im Saugbändertisch beaufschlagt wird. Diese Saugluftzufuhr kann als einfacher Lüfter oder als Gebläseanschluss ausgeführt sein.
Im Anschluss an das Ende des Bändertisches ist ein so genannter Anlagetisch vorgesehen, an dem Vorder- bzw. Deckmarken zur Ausrichtung der Bogenvorderkante in Transportrichtung und eine so genannte Seitenmarke zur seitlichen Ausrichtung der Bogen angeordnet sind.
Bei großformatigen bogenverarbeitenden Maschinen ist es zusätzlich bekannt geworden, die Förderung des Schuppenstroms von Bogen über den Bändertisch mit Hilfe zusätzlicher Transportbänder seitlich außerhalb des Wirkungsbereiches der Saugbänder zu unterstützen. Diese zusätzlichen Transportbänder, auch Stützbänder genannt, sind als einfache Flachbänder ausgebildet und werden nicht mit Saugluft beaufschlagt. Die zusätzlichen Transportbänder bzw. Stützbänder laufen üblicherweise mit über die Tischoberfläche vorstehender Oberfläche um den Bändertisch um und erleichtern so den Transport der Bogen in deren außerhalb der Saugbänder frei auf dem Bändertisch aufliegenden Bereich.For feeding sheets to sheet processing machines, z. As sheet-fed presses, the sheets are first separated from the top of a sheet stack in a sheet feeder and offset from one another output as a sheet current. Furthermore, as a rule, after the separation of a sheet, its transport is required over a certain distance up to a contact area of the sheet-processing machine. Usually, the sheets of increased throughput are transported because of in a scale flow to the sheet processing machine. But it is also possible a single sheet feed. When transporting the sheets from the sheet feeder to the sheet-processing machine, therefore, so-called belt tables are in use, which allow a stream of sheets that are unterschuppt against each other, or even sheets safely. Particularly advantageous in this case are so-called suction belt tables. Suction tapes are below the bow leading top of at least one box-shaped cavity, are guided over the conveyor belts in the form of suction belts. Suction belts are usually in the form of apertured flat belts. For transporting the sheets over the suction belt table, the suction belts are driven by at least one shaft arranged at one end of the suction belt, a first so-called belt roller, deflected by a second shaft or belt roller at the other end of the suction belt table and held in a straight position by a tensioning device , When transporting the sheet by means of the suction belts, a suction air supply is arranged for holding the sheet to the suction belts on the underside of the suction belt, by means of which the cavity is acted upon in the suction belt table. This suction air supply can be designed as a simple fan or as a blower connection.
Following the end of the belt table a so-called investment table is provided on the front or top marks for aligning the sheet leading edge are arranged in the transport direction and a so-called side mark for lateral alignment of the sheet.
In the case of large-format sheet-processing machines, it has additionally become known to support the conveyance of the shingled stream of sheets over the belt table with the aid of additional conveyor belts laterally outside the effective range of the suction belts. These additional conveyor belts, also called support belts, are designed as simple flat belts and are not subjected to suction. The additional conveyor belts or support belts usually run around with the surface above the table surface around the belt table and thus facilitate the transport of the sheet in the outside of the suction belts resting on the belt table area.
Die derart bekannten Saugbändertische weisen verschiedene Nachteile auf. Da die seitlich angeordneten zusätzlichen Transportbänder je nach Bogenformat in dem Bereich der Kante von zu fördernden Bogen liegen, kann es schon beim normalen Bogentransport zu Störungen kommen. Daher kann eine aufwändige seitliche Verstellung der Transportbänder erforderlich werden, um diese aus dem Bereich der Bogenkanten zu entfernen. Dies ist vor allem auch dann von Bedeutung, wenn die für die Seitenausrichtung der Bogen verwendeten Bogenkante im Bereich der Transportbänder zu liegen kommt. Hierbei besteht die große Gefahr, dass die Bogenkante in Richtung der Seitenausrichtung an einem der Transportbänder hängen bleibt und der Bogen sich bei der Verschiebung verzieht. Eine sachgerechte Ausrichtung vor der Zufuhr des Bogens zur bogenverarbeitenden Maschine ist dann nicht mehr möglich. Außerdem neigen die Hilfsbänder dazu empfindliche Bogen an ihrer Unterseite zu verkratzen.The suction belt tables known in this way have various disadvantages. Since the laterally arranged additional conveyor belts, depending on the sheet size in the region of the edge of the sheet to be conveyed, it may already come during normal sheet transport disruption. Therefore, a complicated lateral adjustment of the conveyor belts may be required to remove them from the area of the sheet edges. This is especially important if the sheet edge used for the page orientation of the sheet comes to rest in the area of the conveyor belts. There is a great danger that the sheet edge will hang in the direction of the page orientation on one of the conveyor belts and the sheet warps during the shift. Proper alignment before feeding the sheet to the sheet processing machine is then no longer possible. In addition, the auxiliary belts tend to scratch sensitive sheets on their underside.
Weiterhin ist aus der
Nachteilig an der Vorrichtung ist, dass die Ausblasöffnungen lediglich punktuell oder linienförmig im vorderen, der Druckmaschine zugewandten Bereich des Fördertisches angeordnet sind. Als sehr nachteilig hat sich erwiesen, dass die ausströmende Luft gegen die Förderrichtung des Fördertisches gerichtet ist, da so die Vorderkante jedes Bogens mit einem Luftstrom beaufschlagt wird. Dieser Luftstrom wirkt an der Austrittsstelle besonders stark. Daher neigen die Bogen in diesem Fall zum Flattern, weil die Blasluft zwischen die Vorderkanten der Bogen eintritt.A disadvantage of the device is that the exhaust openings are only selectively or linearly arranged in the front, the printing press facing area of the conveyor table. It has proved to be very disadvantageous that the outflowing air is directed against the conveying direction of the conveyor table, since in this way the air is supplied to the leading edge of each sheet. This air flow acts particularly strong at the exit point. Therefore, in this case, the sheets tend to flutter because the blast air enters between the leading edges of the sheets.
Ziel der Erfindung ist es daher, den Bändertisch so zu verbessern, dass der Bogentransport auf einfache Weise sicher gestaltet werden kann, bei großen Formaten keine Förderwiderstände auftreten und die Bogen nicht durch den Fördervorgang beschädigt werden.The aim of the invention is therefore to improve the belt table so that the sheet transport can be designed easily in a simple manner, with large formats no delivery resistances occur and the sheets are not damaged by the delivery process.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, einen gattungsgemäßen Bändertisch derart weiterzuentwickeln, dass der Bogentransport in jeder Betriebslage, insbesondere auch bei der Anwendung sehr großer Bogenformate sicher gestaltet und einfach nachjustiert werden kann, wobei gleichzeitig die Gefahr des Verkratzens der Bogen beseitigt werden soll.The object of the invention is to further develop a generic belt table such that the sheet transport in any operating position, especially in the application of very large sheet sizes safely designed and easily readjusted, while the risk of scratching the sheet should be eliminated.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe gestaltet sich nach den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1.The solution of this task is designed according to the features of claim 1.
Der Fördertisch wird wenigstens in seinen seitlichen Leitbereichen mit einer pneumatischen Einrichtung zur flächigen Erzeugung eines dünnen Luftpolsters ausgerüstet. Dazu sind Blasluftversorgungen und flächig verteilte Blasöffnungen in den Leitbereichen vorgesehen.The conveyor table is equipped, at least in its lateral guide areas, with a pneumatic device for the planar production of a thin air cushion. For this purpose, blast air supplies and areal distributed blowing openings are provided in the guide areas.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist insbesondere vorteilhaft dadurch, dass die Bogenführung ohne den Einsatz seitlicher Stützbänder auskommt und auf sehr einfache Weise gestaltet und nachregulierbar ist. Außerdem werden die Bögen so in sehr vorteilhafter Weise über den seitlichen Tischbereich geführt, ohne dass eine Gefahr eines Verkratzens bei empfindlichen Bogenoberflächen besteht. Dies gilt insbesondere beispielsweise bei Folienmaterialien.The solution to this problem is particularly advantageous in that the sheet guide does not require the use of lateral support bands and designed in a very simple manner and can be readjusted. In addition, the sheets are guided in a very advantageous manner over the side table area, without the risk of scratching on sensitive sheet surfaces. This applies in particular to film materials, for example.
Die Einrichtung einer flächigen Blasluftversorgung kann auch im Bereich zwischen den Transportbändern vorgesehen sein, so dass auch hier die vorteilhafte Wirkung der kratzerfreien Führung zur Geltung kommt.The device of a planar blast air supply can also be provided in the region between the conveyor belts, so that the advantageous effect of the scratch-free guidance is also shown here.
In vorteilhafter Weise können in den Blasöffnungen sogenannte Blas-Sog-Düsen eingesetzt werden. Diese sind mit Blasluft unter höherem Druck aber bei einem geringeren Volumenstrom zu versorgen.Advantageously, so-called blow-suction nozzles can be used in the blowing openings. These are to be supplied with blown air under higher pressure but at a lower flow rate.
Überschüssige Luft aus dem Luftpolster kann am vorderen der Bogen verarbeitenden Maschine zugewandten Ende des Fördertisches über spezielle Öffnungen in der Tischfläche aus allen Leitbereichen abgeführt werden. Gleichzeitig kann dies über Belüftungseinrichtungen parallel zu ggf. eingesetzten Saugbändern innerhalb der Fläche des Fördertisches erfolgen. Eine Entlüftung kann auch aktiv durch Absaugung erfolgen.Excess air from the air cushion can be removed at the front end of the conveyor table facing the sheet-processing machine via special openings in the table surface from all guide areas. At the same time this can be done via aeration devices parallel to any suction belts used within the surface of the conveyor table. Venting can also be done actively by suction.
Im Folgenden wird anhand von zeichnerischen Darstellungen eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung näher dargestellt.In the following, an embodiment of the invention is illustrated in more detail with reference to drawings.

Parallel zu den Saugbändern 2 können im Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 Belüftungseinrichtungen vorgesehen sein. Diese dienen im Wesentlichen dazu von den Saugbändern 2 ausgehende Saugluftwirkungen in die Leitbereiche des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 neben den Saugbändern 2 hinein zu unterbinden.
Seitlich von den Saugbändern 2 ist im äußeren Bereich des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 jeweils ein Leitbereich 5 vorgesehen. Die Leitbereiche 5 sind aus reibungsarmem Material mit ggf. strukturierter Oberfläche gefertigt. Die Leitbereiche 5 dienen dazu, den außerhalb der Saugbänder 2 auf dem Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 überhängenden Bereich der Bogen B - der auf dem Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 schleift - besser zu führen. Dies ist besonders bei sehr großen Bogenformaten von Bedeutung.
Weiterhin ist auch zwischen den Saugbändern 2 ein Leitbereich vorhanden, auf dem die Bogen B schleifen.In
Parallel to the

Furthermore, there is also a guide area between the
In Transportrichtung T der Bogen B vor dem Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 ist üblicherweise ein Bogenanleger (hier nicht dargestellt) angeordnet, in dem die Bogen B von der Oberseite eines Bogenstapels vereinzelt werden. Die Bögen B werden dem Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 danach über ein Leitblech 11 zugeführt. Auf der auf der in Transportrichtung T abführenden Seite kann sich eine bogenverarbeitende Maschine, z.B. eine Druckmaschine, mit einem Anlagetisch 12 wie hier gezeigt an den Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 anschließen. Als Teil des Anlagetisches 12 ist eine Seitenmarke 13 angedeutet. Die Seitenmarke 13 führt den Bogen B mit seiner Seitenkante gegen einen Anschlag, um die seitliche Position vor der Zufuhr des Bogens B zur Bogen verarbeitenden Maschine festzulegen. Eine weitere Seitenmarke 13 kann auch auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite des Anlagetisches 12 angeordnet sein.In the transport direction T, the sheet B in front of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 usually a sheet feeder (not shown here) is arranged, in which the sheet B are separated from the top of a sheet pile. The sheets B are then fed to the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 via a

Zur Vermeidung von Behinderungen, die zu den Bogen B verzerrenden Verspannungen führen können, sind im Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 in den Leitbereichen 5 im Wesentlichen über die ganze Fläche der Leitbereiche 5 verteilt Belüftungsöffnungen 6 vorgesehen. Diese Belüftungsöffnungen 6 können als kreisrunde Öffnungen oder als düsenförmige Öffnungen ausgeführt sein. In der Ausführungsform als Düsen können diese in ihre Wirkrichtung in der Ebene der Oberfläche des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 oder relativ zu dessen Oberfläche einstellbar sein. Die Blasrichtung ist im Wesentlichen in Transportrichtung T ausgerichtet, kann aber auch quer dazu orientiert sein. Die Düsen können auch als sogenannte Blas-Sog-Düsen ausgebildet sein.
Weiterhin kann vorgesehen sein, dass auch in einem mittleren Leitbereich 5.1 zwischen den Saugbändern 2 flächig verteilt Belüftungsöffnungen 6 bzw. Düsen angeordnet sind.In order to avoid obstructions which can lead to distortion B distorting the sheet B,

Wesentlich ist, dass die austretende Blasluft nur eine relativ dünne Schicht, quasi einen Film, an Tragluft bildet. Wichtig ist auch, dass keine Blasluft zwischen die Bogen B eintritt. Daher ist die Blasluft mit niedrigem Druck bei gleichzeitig relativ hohem Volumen einzublasenIt is essential that the exiting blown air forms only a relatively thin layer, virtually a film, on carrying air. It is also important that no blowing air enters between the sheets B. Therefore, the blast air is to blow at low pressure with relatively high volume
Die Richtung der aus den Belüftungsöffnungen 6 austretenden Blasluft kann zur Förderung der Bogen B in Transportrichtung T genutzt werden. Weiterhin kann bei Ausrichtung der Blasrichtung der Belüftungsöffnungen 6 in Richtung zu den einander gegenüberliegenden seitlichen Rändern des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 oder in einem Winkel zwischen 0 und 90 Grad zur Richtung der Außenkanten des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 eine Straffwirkung auf die Bögen B erzielt werden. Die Düsen können zu diesem Zweck in ihrer Wirkrichtung einzeln oder gruppenweise einstellbar ausgeführt sein.The direction of the blast air emerging from the
Zur Beeinflussung der Tragluftwirkung können die Düsen auch in ihrem Ausblaswinkel zur Ebene des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 einstellbar ausgeführt sein. Beispielsweise kann für schwere Materialien oder Materialien mit einer relativ rauen Oberfläche ein steilerer Ausblaswinkel für die Düsen gewählt werden.To influence the airborne effect, the nozzles can also be made adjustable in their discharge angle to the plane of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1. For example, for heavier materials or materials with a relatively rough surface, a steeper jet angle for the nozzles may be selected.

An der Oberseite der Darstellung sind Luftkammern 9 in zwei Reihen parallel zur Transportrichtung T angeordnet. Diese Luftkammern 9 fassen jeweils kleine Teilflächen der Leitbereiche 5 zur Luftversorgung zusammen. Die Größe dieser Luftkammern 9 kann beispielsweise in Transportrichtung T variiert werden.
Die Luftkammern 9 sind untereinander mit einer Blasluftzuführung 8 versehen. Die eine Blasluftzuführung 8 weist zusätzlich fernsteuerbare Ventile 15 (Klappen) auf, um die Luftzufuhr mengenmässig oder örtlich begrenzen bzw. zu- oder abschalten zu können.
An der Unterseite der Darstellung sind Luftkammern 10 in einer Reihen parallel zur Transportrichtung T angeordnet. Diese Luftkammern 10 fassen jeweils größere Teilflächen der Leitbereiche 5 als die Luftkammern 9 zur Luftversorgung zusammen. Die Größe der Luftkammern 10 ist in Transportrichtung T variiert worden.
Die Luftkammern 10 sind untereinander ebenfalls mit einer Blasluftzuführung 8 versehen. Die eine Blasluftzuführung 8 weist zusätzlich fernsteuerbare Ventile 15 (Klappen) auf, um die Luftzufuhr mengenmässig oder örtlich begrenzen bzw. zu-oder abschalten zu können.
Mittels der Ventile 15 ist also die Luftversorgung gesteuert von einer Luftkammer 9, 10 zur Nächsten möglich. Außerdem kann es möglich sein, z.B. die vorderste Luftkammer 9, 10 mit erhöhtem Luftdruck zu versorgen. Je nach Anordnung der Ventile 15und deren Steuerbarkeit sind verschiedenste Betriebsweise möglich.In

Insgesamt gesehen können selbstverständlich alle Teilbereiche der Leitbereiche 5, die beispielsweise über Kammern 9, 10 miteinander gekoppelte Belüftungsöffnungen 6 aufweisen, sowohl gleichartig als auch unterschiedlich mit Blasluft versorgt werden. Es kann also sein, dass an den äußeren Rändern der Leitbereiche 5 ein niedrigerer Luftdruck eingestellt wird, um das Hochblasen der Ränder zu vermeiden. Gleichfalls an den in Transportrichtung T liegenden Enden des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 ein niedrigerer Luftdruck eingestellt werden. In gleicher Weise kann auch eine asymmetrische Druckverteilung über der Fläche des Fördertisches 1 eingestellt werden. Gleiches gilt auch für die Einstellung des durchzusetzenden Luftvolumens, das den Bogen B tragen soll.Overall, of course, all subregions of the
Beim Unterblasen mit Tragluft kann es beim Ausrichten des jeweils vordersten Bogens B im Bereich des Anlagetisches 12 der Bogen verarbeitenden Maschine, z.B. einer Druckmaschine, zu Problemen kommen, weil die Bogen B wegen der Luftschicht eventuell nicht sicher an den Ausrichtmarken liegen. Daher können im Bereich des ablaufseitigen Endes des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 nahe dem Übergang zum Anlagetisch 12 im Anschluss an die Leitbereiche 5 bzw. 5.1 eine oder mehrere Anordnungen von Entlastungsbohrungen 14 vorgesehen sein. Diese Entlastungsbohrungen 14 sind vorzugsweise unterhalb des Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 mit der Umgebung verbunden und drucklos. Durch die Entlastungsbohrungen 14 kann überschüssige Tragluft aus dem Bereich unterhalb des vordersten zur Ausrichtung bereitzustellenden Bogens B entweichen. Damit ist sichergestellt, dass der Bogen B alle erforderlichen Ausrichtelemente in dem Anlagetisch 12 sicher erreicht.
Zusätzlich werden die Leitbereiche 5 bzw. 5.1 auf einfache Weise entlang der Saugbänder 2 entlüftet, wenn den Saugbändern 2 Belüftungseinrichtungen zur Beseitigung von kriechender Saugluft zugeordnet sind, wie die weiter oben beschrieben wurde.When submerged with carrying air, there may be problems in aligning the respective foremost sheet B in the area of the feed table 12 of the sheet-processing machine, eg a printing machine, because the sheets B may not be safe against the alignment marks because of the air layer. Therefore, in the region of the outlet-side end of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1 near the transition to the feed table 12 following the
In addition, the
Weiterhin kann die Anordnung der Entlastungsbohrungen 14 auch mit einer Luftabführeinrichtung versehen sein, um die noch vorhandenen Luftpolster aus dem Bereich unter den Bogen B aktiv zu entfernen. Die aktive Luftentfernung kann gesteuert sein und im Bogentakt zu und abgeschaltet werden.Furthermore, the arrangement of the relief bores 14 may also be provided with an air discharge device in order to actively remove the remaining air cushion from the area under the arch B. The active air removal can be controlled and switched off and on in the bow cycle.
Weiterhin kann die Steuerung der Luftzuführung zu dem Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 so gestaltet sein, dass die Blasluft in den Leitbereichen 5 bzw. 5.1 beim Transport des letzten zu verarbeitenden Bogens B sequenziell vom zulaufseitigen Ende bis zu ablaufseitigen Ende hin abgeschaltet wird. Damit wird vermieden, dass die nicht mehr voll unterschuppt liegenden Bogen B vom Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 abgehoben werden und ungenau gefördert werden.
Zu diesem Zweck sind in
For this purpose are in
Im Betrieb werden beim Vorgang des Auflaufens der ersten Bögen B bzw. beim Ablaufen der letzten Bögen B vom Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertisch 1 jeweils entsprechend dem gerade abgedeckten Bereich die Ventile 15 geöffnet oder geschlossen. Damit wird erreicht, dass in den Flächenteilen der Leitbereich 5, der durch Bogen B abgedeckt ist, noch Tragluft eingeblasen wird. Andererseits wird in den freien oder auch gerade frei werdenden Bereich die Zufuhr von Blasluft unterbrochen, sodass einzeln liegende Bögen B nicht zum Flattern angeregt werden.In operation, the
Vorzugsweise bei zur Bogenstraffung quer ausgerichteten Düsen im ablaufenden Bereich des vom Fördertisches bzw. Saugbändertisches 1 kann die Blasluft an den freiliegenden Enden der Bögen B, d.h. am Bogenanfang des ersten Bogens B bzw. am Bogenende des letzten Bogens B verstärkt werden, um so die Straffwirkung des auf den Bogen B kurzzeitig zu erhöhen. Hierzu können die letzten Düsen auch als so genannte Blas-Sog-Düsen ausgeführt sein. Bei Blas-Sog-Düsen wird infolge der speziellen Kontur durch die ausströmende Luft neben dem Luftpolster zusätzlich eine Ansaugwirkung erzielt, die auf den Bereich der Blas-Sog-Düse begrenzt wirkt.Preferably in the case of transversely aligned nozzles for the curved area in the running area of the conveyor table or suction belt table 1, the blowing air can be applied to the Exposed ends of the sheets B, ie at the beginning of the bow of the first sheet B or at the end of the sheet of the last sheet B are reinforced, so as to increase the tension effect of the bow B for a short time. For this purpose, the last nozzles can also be designed as so-called blow-suction nozzles. In the case of blow-suction nozzles, as a result of the special contour, an intake effect is additionally achieved by the outflowing air next to the air cushion, which effect is limited to the area of the blow-suction nozzle.
In vorteilhafter Weise können auch Düsen in weiteren Flächenteilen oder aber alle Düsen in den Leitbereichen 5 bzw. 5.1 als Blas-Sog-Düsen ausgeführt sein. Blas-Sog-Düsen werden mit höherem Luftdruck bei geringerem Volumenstrom betrieben. Daher kann die Luftversorgung für die Blas-Sog-Düsen getrennt von anderen Belüftungsöffnungen 6 erfolgen. Dies kann wie beschrieben auf einfache Weise durch eine gruppenweise Anordnung erfolgen.In an advantageous manner, nozzles in further surface parts or else all nozzles in the
Mit den beschriebenen Merkmalen ist ein einwandfreier Transport auch sehr empfindlicher Bogenmaterialien über Fördertisch bzw. Saugbändertische großer Flächen möglich. Die Erfindung kann im Rahmen des fachmännischen Könnens weitergebildet werden.With the described features a perfect transport even very sensitive sheet materials on conveyor table or Saugbändertische large surfaces is possible. The invention may be further developed within the skill of the art.
