Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Stapelvorrichtung für auf einem Förderband einer Eingangsförderstrecke der Vorrichtung zugeführte, einander überlappende Zeitungen mit einem im Bereich der Eingangsförderstrecke angeordneten, mit einer elektronischen Zähl- und Steuereinrichtung verbundenen Fühler und zwei von der Zähl- und Steuereinrichtung angesteuerten Trennorganen, von denk das eine als eine Lücke im Strom der einander überlappenden Zeitungen erzeugender Unterbrecher und das andere als am Ende der Eingangsförderstrecke angeordnete, den zwischen zwei Lücken ankommenden Zeitungsstrom taktweise in zwei getrennte Sammelstellen aufteilende Abweiserzunge ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a stacking device for overlapping newspapers fed on a conveyor belt of an input conveyor line of the device, with a sensor arranged in the area of the input conveyor line and connected to an electronic counting and control device and two separating elements controlled by the counting and control device as a gap in the stream of overlapping newspapers producing interrupters and the other than at the end of the entrance conveyor line, the diverting newspaper stream arriving between two gaps is divided into two separate collection points.

Es ist eine Stapelvorrichtung dieser Art bekannt (JP-A-53 093 904), bei der der Unterbrecher am Ende der Eingangsförderstrecke angeordnet ist und beim Erzeugen der Lücken ebenso wie die Abweiserzunge in den freien Bereich zwischen der Eingangsförderstrecke und den beiden Ausgangsförderstrecken eingreift. Da der Unterbrecher in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Abweiser beim Auftreffen auf den Zeitungsstrom unter den Zeitungen kein Widerlager vorfindet, besteht die Gefahr, daß die getroffene Zeitung nach unten auf die untere Fördereinrichtung gestoßen wird und deshalb nicht das Förderband erreicht oder daß sie zwischen dem Unterbrecher und der letzten Rolle des Förderbandes der Eingangsförderstrecke eingeklemmt wird. Angesichts der hohen Förderrate von ca. 17 bis 25 Zeitungen pro Sekunde kann dies zum sofortigen Stau und zum Ausfall der Stapelvorrichtung führen.A stacking device of this type is known (JP-A-53 093 904), in which the interrupter is arranged at the end of the input conveyor line and, when the gaps are created, as well as the deflector tongue, engage in the free area between the input conveyor line and the two output conveyor lines. Since the interrupter does not find an abutment in the immediate vicinity of the deflector when it hits the newspaper flow, there is a risk that the newspaper hit will be pushed down onto the lower conveyor and therefore will not reach the conveyor belt or that it will be between the interrupter and the last roll of the conveyor belt of the input conveyor is pinched. Given the high feed rate of approximately 17 to 25 newspapers per second, this can lead to an immediate jam and the failure of the stacking device.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, die bekannte Stapelvorrichtung dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die Lücke im ankommenden Zeitungsstrom störungsfrei und ohne Beeinträchtigung des Aufteilvorgangs im Bereich der Abweiserzunge erzeugt werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving the known stacking device in such a way that the gap in the incoming newspaper stream can be generated without interference and without impairing the splitting process in the area of the deflector tongue.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß das Förderband der Eingangsförderstrecke in Förderrichtung sich über den Unterbrecher hinaus bis zur Abweiserzunge erstreckt.To achieve this object, it is proposed according to the invention that the conveyor belt of the input conveyor section extends in the conveying direction beyond the interrupter to the deflector tongue.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand des in der Zeichnung in einer schematischen Seitenansicht dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels einer Stapelvorrichtung näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiment of a stacking device shown in the drawing in a schematic side view.

Mittels eines nichtdargestellten Förderbandes wird der Stapelvorrichtung ein kontinuierlicher Strom von sich überlappenden Zeitungen 10 zugeführt. Diese gelangen auf die Eingangsförderstrecke 11, wo sie auf einen mit einem Zählund Steuereinrichtung verbundenen Fühler 12 einwirken. Wenn eine bestimmte Zahl von z. B. 25 Zeitungen vom Fühler 12 erfaßt wurden, wird ein Impuls ausgelöst, der einen unterbrecher 13 betätigt, der in dem Zeitungsstrom eine Lücke hervorruft. Die vorbestimmte Zahl von in Bewegungsrichtung hinter der Lücke liegenden Zeitungen werden weitergefördert und an einer Sammelstelle in einem Zwischenstapel 15 auf einem Greifer 14 abgelegt. Wenn der Zwischenstapel fertig ist, wird der Greifer 14 schräg nach unten geführt. so daß die Zeitungen in einem schwenkbaren Behälter 16 gesammelt werden. Nachdem eine bestimmte Zahl von einen Zwischenstapel bildenden Zeitungen von dem Behälter 16 aufgenommen wurde, wird dieser um eine senkrechte Achse um 180° gedreht. Darauf wird ein Stößel 17 betätigt, der den Behälter 16 entleert.A continuous stream of overlapping newspapers 10 is fed to the stacking device by means of a conveyor belt (not shown). These reach the input conveyor section 11, where they act on a sensor 12 connected to a counting and control device. If a certain number of z. B. 25 newspapers were detected by the sensor 12, a pulse is triggered which actuates an interrupter 13, which causes a gap in the newspaper flow. The predetermined number of newspapers lying behind the gap in the direction of movement are conveyed further and placed on a gripper 14 at a collection point in an intermediate stack 15. When the intermediate stack is finished, the gripper 14 is guided obliquely downwards. so that the newspapers are collected in a pivotable container 16. After a certain number of newspapers forming an intermediate stack have been received by the container 16, the container 16 is rotated through a vertical axis by 180 °. Then a plunger 17 is actuated, which empties the container 16.

An der zwischen dem Unterbrecher 13 und dem Greifer 14 gelegenen Förderstrecke ist weiterhin eine Abweiserzunge 18 angeordnet. Die Abweiserzunge 18 wird ebenfalls von der mit dem Fühler t2 verbundenen Zähl- und Steuereinrichtung angesteuert und bewirkt nach ihrer Betätigung, daß eine bestimmte Anzahl der zwischen der Lücke und der Abweiserzunge 18 auf dem Förderband liegenden Zeitungen auf eine Auslaßförderstrecke 19 geleitet werden, die zu einer zweiten Sammelstelle mit einem Stapeltisch 20 führt. Nachdem auf dem Tisch ein Stapel bestimmter Höhe gebildet wurde, wird dieser mittels eines Stößels 21 nach der Seite weggeschoben.A deflector tongue 18 is also arranged on the conveyor section located between the interrupter 13 and the gripper 14. The deflector tongue 18 is also controlled by the counting and control device connected to the sensor t2 and, after its actuation, causes a certain number of the newspapers lying on the conveyor belt between the gap and the deflector tongue 18 to be guided to an outlet conveyor path 19, which leads to a conveyor belt second collection point with a stacking table 20 leads. After a stack of a certain height has been formed on the table, it is pushed away to the side by means of a plunger 21.

Die Wirkungsweise der Stapelvorrichtung ist wie folgt:

  • Soll in dem Behälter 16 ein Stapel von beispielsweise 25 Zeitungen gebildet werden und sollen weitere 8 Zeitungen auf dem Tisch 20 abgelegt werden, so ist die Zähl- und Steuereinrichtung so ausgelegt, daß sie nach 33 Impulsen des Fühlers 12 die Betätigung des Unterbrechers 13 aus löst, so daß dieser eine Lücke in dem Zeitungsstrom erzeugt.
The stacking device works as follows:
  • If a stack of, for example, 25 newspapers is to be formed in the container 16 and a further 8 newspapers are to be placed on the table 20, the counting and control device is designed such that it triggers the actuation of the interrupter 13 after 33 pulses from the sensor 12 so that it creates a gap in the newspaper flow.

Diese 33 Exemplare werden auf dem Förderband bis zur Abweiserzunge 18 weiterbefördert, die über die mit dem Fühler 12 verbundene Zählund Steuereinrichtung betätigt wird, wenn 25 Zeitungen auf dem Greifer 14 abgelegt wurden. Die nachfolgenden 8 Zeitungen werden dann auf das Förderband 19 geleitet, von dem sie auf dem Tisch 20 abgelegt werden. Wenn die letzte der 8 Zeitungen die schwenkbare Abweiserzunge 18 passiert hat, wird diese in ihre ursprüngliche Lage zurückgeschwenkt, so daß die nachfolgenden Zeitungen wieder auf den Greifer 14 abgelegt werden.These 33 copies are transported on the conveyor belt to the deflector tongue 18, which is actuated via the counting and control device connected to the sensor 12 when 25 newspapers have been placed on the gripper 14. The following 8 newspapers are then fed onto the conveyor belt 19, from which they are placed on the table 20. When the last of the 8 newspapers has passed the pivotable deflector tongue 18, it is pivoted back into its original position, so that the following newspapers are placed on the gripper 14 again.

Mit der beschriebenen Vorrichtung ist es somit möglich, eine beliebige, im voraus bestimmte Zahl von Zeitungen von der Gesamtzahl der von den von der Druckerpresse angelieferten Zeitungen durch die vom Unterbrecher 13 geschaffene Lücke getrennten Zeitungen abzuzweigen und über die Förderstrecke 19 auf den Sammeltisch 20 zu leiten. Die Zahl der abgezweigten Zeitungen kann unabhängig von der Förderleistung der Druckerpresse zwischen nur einer Zeitung und der Mindestzahl von Zeitungen, die den größeren Stapel bilden, gewählt werden. Somit kann auf maschinelle Weise erreicht werden, daß die Stapel jede gewünschte Anzahl von Zeitungen aufweist.With the device described, it is thus possible to branch any predetermined number of newspapers from the total number of newspapers separated from the newspapers delivered by the printing press through the gap created by the interrupter 13 and to guide them via the conveyor path 19 to the collecting table 20 . The number of branched newspapers can be selected between just one newspaper and the minimum number of newspapers that make up the larger stack, regardless of the delivery capacity of the printing press. It can thus be achieved mechanically that the stack has any desired number of newspapers.
