Abstract

The printed products arriving in an imbricated formation are wound up into wound product packages or coils each having a substantially horizontally disposed longitudinal axis. These wound products packages possess a predetermined size and an inherent stability which permit them to be transported and intermediately stored such that their longitudinal axes extend substantially vertically without the wound product packages disintegrating or unraveling. After forming the wound product packages they are transferred from a standing position into a reclining or reposing position by means of a package turning device. In this reclining or reposing position the longitudinal axes of the wound product packages extend substantially vertically. These wound product packages are supported only at their circumference or are only held at their winding cores and are not supported in any further manner.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Verarbeiten von in Schuppenformation anfallenden Druckereierzeugnissen, wie Zeitungen, Zeitschriften und dergleichen, gemäss Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 oder 8 bzw. des Anspruches 9 oder 18.The present invention relates to a method and a device for processing printed products, such as newspapers, magazines and the like, which occur in scale formation, according to the preamble of claim 1 or 8 or of claim 9 or 18.

Bisher war man bestrebt, auf einen Wickelkern möglichst viele Druckereierzeugnisse aufzuwickeln, um bei den gegenwärtig üblichen hohen Arbeitsgeschwindigkeiten der Rotationsdruckmaschinen, über der diesen nachgeschalteten Verarbeitungseinrichtungen nicht zu häufig zu einem Austausch eines fertigen Wickels gegen einen leeren Wickelkern bzw. eines leeren Wickelkernes gegen einen neuen Wickel gezwungen zu werden (siehe z.B. die CH-PSen 559 691 und 642 602). So ist es derzeit üblich, Wickel mit einem Durchmesser von mehr als 2 Metern zu bilden. Derartige Wickel sind natürlich entsprechend schwer und lassen sich nicht so ohne weiteres handhaben und zwischenlagern.So far, efforts have been made to wind up as many printed products as possible on a winding core in order not to frequently replace a finished winding with an empty winding core or an empty winding core with a new winding at the currently high working speeds of the rotary printing presses to be forced (see for example the CH-PSen 559 691 and 642 602). So it is currently common to form coils with a diameter of more than 2 meters. Such coils are of course correspondingly heavy and cannot be easily handled and temporarily stored.

So wird in der CH-PS 559 691 z.B. vorgeschlagen, den hohlzylindrischen Wickelkern mit scheibenförmigen Seitenwangen zu versehen, welche als Lauf- und Rollkränze für den Transport des Wickels ausgebildet sind. Seitenwangen dienen weiter dazu, die aufgewickelten Druckereierzeugnisse seitlich abzustützen. Für das Lagern solcher Wickel wird nun wegen dieser Seitenwangen nicht nur in der Höhe und Breite, sondern auch in Richtung der Längsachse des Wickelkernes erheblich Platz benötigt, ist doch die Abmessung des Wickels in Achsrichtung des Wickelkernes grösser als die Breite der aufgewickelten Druckereierzeugnisse.For example, in CH-PS 559 691 proposed to provide the hollow cylindrical winding core with disc-shaped side cheeks, which are designed as running and rolling rings for the transport of the winding. Sidewalls also serve to laterally support the wound printed products. For the storage of such coils, considerable space is required not only in terms of height and width, but also in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the winding core, because the dimension of the winding in the axial direction of the winding core is larger than the width of the wound printed products.

Aus der veröffentlichten internationalen Anmeldung WO 85/01279 (PCT/CH 84/00147) ist es weiter bekannt, für das Transportieren der grossen und schweren Wickel besonders ausgebildete Transportfahrzeuge und an diese angepasste Wickelkerne zu verwenden. Diese Transportfahrzeuge sind weiter dazu ausgerüstet, die Wickel stehend, in gegenüber der Vertikalen etwas geneigter Schräglage zu einem Stapel aneinander zu reihen, wobei sich die Wickel an ihrem Umfang am Boden abstützen. Ein solcher Stapel benötigt ebenfalls sehr viel Platz und verlangt zudem das Vorhandensein einer vertikalen Abstützung, z.B. eine Wand, gegen die sich der hinterste Wickel des Stapels anlehnen kann.From the published international application WO 85/01279 (PCT / CH 84/00147) it is further known to use specially designed transport vehicles and winding cores adapted to these for the transport of the large and heavy windings. These transport vehicles are further equipped to line up the windings in a standing position in a slanted inclination with respect to the vertical, the windings being supported on the ground on their circumference. Such a stack also takes up a lot of space and also requires the presence of a vertical support, e.g. a wall against which the rearmost wrap of the stack can lean.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren bzw. eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem bzw. bei der nach wie vor durch Aufwickeln über Druckereierzeugnisse auf einen Wickelkern Wickel gebildet werden, die sich jedoch unter Schonung der aufgewickelten Erzeugnisse mit weniger Aufwand als bisher handhaben und lagern lassen.The present invention has for its object to provide a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, in which or in which rolls are still formed by winding over printed products onto a winding core, but which are gentle on the wound products handle and store with less effort than before.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teiles des Anspruches 1 oder 8 bzw. des Anspruches 9 oder 10 gelöst.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1 or 8 or of claim 9 or 10.

In Abkehr vom bisherigen Bestreben, möglichst grosse Wickel zu bilden, werden erfindungsgemäss einzelne kleinere Wickel gebildet, die ein leichtes Handhaben sowie eine platzsparende Lagerung ermöglichen. Was bisher zu einem einzigen Wickel aufgewickelt wurde, wird neu auf mehrere Wickel aufgeteilt. Da letztere selbsttragend sind und nicht auseinanderfallen, wenn sie in eine Lage gebracht werden, in der ihre Längsachse in vertikaler Richtung verläuft, auch wenn dabei die Druckprodukte an der Wickelunterseite nicht abgestützt werden, ist es möglich, die Wickel auch liegend, d.h. mit vertikaler Längsachse, zu transportieren und zu lagern. Und das trotz des Umstandes, dass die aufgewickelte Schuppenformation in sich nicht tragfähig ist, da sie aus einzelnen miteinander nicht verbundenen Erzeugnissen besteht, die sich ohne weiteres voneinander lösen können. Dies ist im Gegensatz zu einem aus einer kontinuierlichen Papier-oder Kunststoffbahn gebildeten Wickel, in welchem die einzelnen Wicklungslagen vollflächig aneinander anliegen und damit zwischen diesen Wicklungslagen ein genügend grosser Reibschluss besteht, um ein Auseinanderfallen des Wickels zu verhindern.In departure from the previous effort to form the largest possible coils, individual smaller coils are formed according to the invention, which enable easy handling and space-saving storage. What was previously wound up into a single roll is now split up into several rolls. Since the latter are self-supporting and do not fall apart when they are brought into a position in which their longitudinal axis runs in the vertical direction, even if the printed products are not supported on the underside of the wrap, it is possible to lay the wraps horizontally, i.e. with vertical longitudinal axis, to be transported and stored. And this despite the fact that the wound scale formation is not sustainable in itself, since it consists of individual products that are not connected to one another and can easily separate from each other. This is in contrast to a winding formed from a continuous paper or plastic web, in which the individual winding layers lie against one another over the full area and thus there is a sufficiently large frictional engagement between these winding layers to prevent the winding from falling apart.

Bisher wurde vermieden, aus aufgewickelten Druckprodukten bestehende Wickel mit vertikal verlaufender Längsachse zu handhaben. Die Handhabung und Lagerung der Wickel erfolgte mit im wesentlichen horizontaler Längsachse, wobei zudem noch Wickelkerne mit seitlich der aufgewickelten Erzeugnisse verlaufenden Stützscheiben verwendet wurden.Up to now it has been avoided to handle windings consisting of wound printed products with a vertical longitudinal axis. The handling and storage of the windings was carried out with an essentially horizontal longitudinal axis, wherein winding cores with supporting disks running to the side of the wound products were also used.

Dank der gegenüber den bekannten Wickeln geringeren Abmessungen der neuen Wickel und auch deren Wickelkerne kann die Lagerung dieser Wickel platzsparend erfolgen, zumal es möglich ist, die Wickel mit in vertikaler Richtung verlaufender Längsachse zu einem Turm aufeinander zu legen. Dabei ist es nicht erforderlich, zwischen die Wickel eine Zwischenlage einzulegen. Die Wickel können vielmehr unter direkter Berührung aufeinander aufliegen. Da sich dabei die Wickel mit ihren Flachseiten und nicht am Umfang abstützen, lassen sich die Wickel zu stabilen Türmen beträchtlicher Höhe aufschichten.Thanks to the smaller dimensions of the new windings compared to the known windings and also their winding cores, the storage of these windings can take place in a space-saving manner, especially since it is possible to stack the windings with a longitudinal axis running in the vertical direction to form a tower. It is not necessary to insert an intermediate layer between the rolls. Rather, the wraps can be in direct contact with one another. Since the windings are supported with their flat sides and not on the circumference, the windings can be piled up to form stable towers of considerable height.

Vorzugsweise werden die Wickel auf Paletten aufgelegt. Dies erlaubt ein Transportieren der Wickel mittels herkömmlicher Transportmittel, wie z.B. Gabelstapler, Hochhubwagen, Rollbahnen usw. Auf diese Weise lassen sich somit ohne Schwierigkeiten miteinander eine Anzahl von Wickeln transportieren, auf denen insgesamt mindestens gleichviel Druckereierzeugnisse aufgewickelt sind wie bei einem grossen Wickel herkömmlicher Art. Durch das Aufteilen einer gegebenen Anzahl von Druckereierzeugnissen auf mehrere Wickel entstehen somit gegenüber den bisherigen Lösungen hinsichtlich Transportmenge keine Nachteile.The windings are preferably placed on pallets. This allows the reels to be transported using conventional means of transport, e.g. Forklift trucks, pallet stackers, roller conveyors, etc. In this way, a number of rolls can be transported with one another without difficulty, on which a total of at least as many printed products are wound up as with a large conventional roll. A given number of printed products is divided into several rolls thus no disadvantages compared to the previous solutions in terms of transport volume.

Bei einer Lagerung der Wickel mit in vertikaler Richtung verlaufender Längsachse werden die aufgewickelten Druckereierzeugnisse hochkant gelagert, d.h. nicht mehr in derselben Lage, in der sie dem Wickel zugeführt werden. Dies bringt die bereits erwähnten Vorteile (platzsparende Zwischenlagerung und problemlose Handhabung der Wickel). Für das Auf- und Abwickeln der Schuppenformation auf die bzw. von den Wickelkernen werden letztere bzw. die Wickel in eine Lage gebracht, in der deren Längsachse wieder im wesentlichen horizontal verläuft. Dies erlaubt ein Zuführen bzw. Wegführen der Schuppenformation in ihrer ursprünglichen Lage, welche ein einfaches Fördern und Weiterverarbeiten ermöglicht.When the reel is stored with the longitudinal axis running in the vertical direction, the wound printed products are stored upright, ie no longer in the same position in which they are fed to the reel. This brings the advantages already mentioned (space-saving intermediate storage and easy handling of the reels). For the winding and unwinding of the scale formation on or from the winding cores, the latter or the windings are brought into a position in which whose longitudinal axis again runs essentially horizontally. This allows the scale formation to be fed in or out in its original position, which enables simple conveying and further processing.

Die vom Zuförderer 20 zugeführte Schuppenformation S wird über eine in Fig. nicht dargestellte Weiche einem der beiden Förderer 18 oder 19 zugeführt. In Fig. ist nun der Fall dargestellt, in dem die ankommende Schuppenformation S über die Förderer 18 und 16 in Richtung der Pfeile C der oberen Aufwickelstelle 2 zugeführt werden. An letzterer wird die Schuppenformation S mit einer Flachseite 21' der Druckprodukte 21 dem Wickelkern 6 zugekehrt zusammen mit dem unter Zugspannung stehenden Wickelband 12 auf den Wickelkern 6 aufgewickelt, der zu diesem Zweck auf nicht dargestellte Weise in Richtung des Pfeiles A angetrieben wird. Das Aufwickeln der Schuppenformation S auf den Wikkelkern 6 erfolgt grundsätzlich auf die in der CH-PS 642 602 bzw. in der entsprechenden US-PS 4,438,618 beschriebene Weise.The scale formation S supplied by the feed conveyor 20 is fed to one of the two conveyors 18 or 19 via a switch, not shown in FIG. The case in which the incoming scale formation S is fed via the conveyors 18 and 16 in the direction of the arrows C to the upper winding point 2 is now shown in FIG. On the latter, the scale formation S is wound with a flat side 21 ′ of the printed products 21 facing the winding core 6 together with the winding tape 12 under tension on the winding core 6, which for this purpose is driven in the direction of arrow A in a manner not shown. The winding formation S on the winding core 6 is basically carried out in the manner described in CH-PS 642 602 or in the corresponding US-PS 4,438,618.

Auf dem Wickelkern 6 wird nun ein selbsttragender Wickel 22 gebildet, der in der Grösse derart bemessen ist, dass er nicht auseinanderfällt, wenn er in eine Lage gebracht wird, in der die Wickellängsachse 6a sich im wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung erstreckt.A self-supporting winding 22 is now formed on the winding core 6, which is dimensioned in such a size that it does not fall apart when it is brought into a position in which the winding longitudinal axis 6a extends essentially in the vertical direction.

In der Fig. 2 ist in vergrössertem Massstab und im Schnitt ein Teil eines solchen Wickels 22 dargestellt. Wie aus dieser Fig. 2 hervorgeht, ist die Länge X des Wickelkernes 6 geringer als die Breite Y der aufgewickelten Druckprodukte 21. Letztere stehen somit seitlich über den Wickelkern 6 vor. Die Seitenkanten 21a und 21b der Druckprodukte 21 liegen vollständig frei. Der Wickel 22 ist somit im Bereich dieser Seitenkanten 21a,21b nicht abgestützt. Die Fig. 2 zeigt ferner das zwischen die einzelnen Wicklungslagen 24 eingewickelte Wickelband 12. Im Bereich dieses Wickelbandes 12 weist der Wickel 22 eine Einschnürung 25 auf. D.h., die Druckprodukte 21 sind im Bereich des Wickelbandes 12 etwas verformt. Diese Verformung trägt nun dazu bei, dass der Wickel 22 selbsttragend ist, indem durch das Ineinandergreifen der Druckprodukte 21 im Bereich der Einschnürung 25 ein gegenseitiges Bewegen der Druckprodukte 21 in Richtung der Wickellängsachse 6a erschwert wird, wenn der Wickel 22 mit in vertikaler Richtung verlaufender Längsachse 6a transportiert oder gelagert wird.2 shows part of such a winding 22 on an enlarged scale and in section. As can be seen from this FIG. 2, the length X of the winding core 6 is less than the width Y of the wound printed products 21. The latter thus protrude laterally over the winding core 6. The side edges 21a and 21b of the printed products 21 are completely exposed. The winding 22 is therefore not supported in the region of these side edges 21a, 21b. FIG. 2 also shows the winding tape 12 wrapped between the individual winding layers 24. The winding 22 has a constriction 25 in the area of this winding tape 12. That is, the printed products 21 are somewhat deformed in the area of the winding tape 12. This deformation now contributes to the fact that the winding 22 is self-supporting, since the intermeshing of the printed products 21 in the region of the constriction 25 makes it more difficult for the printed products 21 to move in the direction of the longitudinal winding axis 6a if the winding 22 has a longitudinal axis running in the vertical direction 6a is transported or stored.

Sobald der Wickel 22 an der Aufwickelstelle 2 seine Endgrösse erreicht hat, wird die ankommende Schuppenformation S auf die untere Aufwickelstelle 3 umgeleitet und auf die beschriebene Weise auf den Wickelkern 7 aufgewickelt. Währenddessen kann der fertige Wickel 22 von der oberen Aufwickelstelle 2 entfernt und durch einen neuen, leeren Wickelkern ersetzt werden.As soon as the winding 22 has reached its final size at the winding point 2, the incoming scale formation S is diverted to the lower winding point 3 and wound onto the winding core 7 in the manner described. In the meantime, the finished winding 22 can be removed from the upper winding point 2 and replaced by a new, empty winding core.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 bzw. 5 und 6 sind nun Geräte gezeigt, welche zum Handhaben der fertigen Wickel 22 geeignet sind.3 and 4 or 5 and 6, devices are now shown which are suitable for handling the finished winding 22.

Das in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigte Umschlaggerät 26 weist ein Gestell 27 auf, das auf Rädern 28 gelagert ist. An diesem Gestell 27 sind heb- und senkbar zwei horizontale Tragarme 29 angeordnet. Diese sind an ihrem Ende mit einem Greifbacken 30 versehen, der um eine Achse 31 drehbar am zugeordneten Tragarm 29 gelagert ist. Mittels der Greifbacken 30, deren gegenseitiger Abstand verändert werden kann, werden die fertigen Wickel 22 an ihrem Umfang 22a erfasst und festgehalten.The handling device 26 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has a frame 27 which is mounted on wheels 28. On this frame 27, two horizontal support arms 29 can be raised and lowered. At their end, these are provided with a gripping jaw 30 which is rotatably mounted on the associated support arm 29 about an axis 31. By means of the gripping jaws 30, the mutual distance of which can be changed, the finished windings 22 are grasped and held on their circumference 22a.

Zur Entnahme des in Fig. 3 strichpunktiert dargestellten Wickels 22 von der Aufwickelstelle 2 bzw. 3 wird dieser Wickel 22 zwischen den beiden in ihre vertikale Stellung verschwenkten Greifbacken 30 festgeklemmt und von der Lagerung 4 bzw. 5 entfernt. Anschliessend wird der Wickel 22 für den weiteren Transport und die Zwischenlagerung durch Drehen der Greifbacken 30 um die Achse 31 um 90 ° in eine Lage gebracht, in der die Längsachse 6a des Wickels 22 im wesentlichen in vertikaler Richtung verläuft, wie das in den Fig. 3 und 4 dargestellt ist.In order to remove the winding 22 shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 3 from the winding point 2 or 3, this winding 22 is clamped between the two gripping jaws 30 pivoted into their vertical position and removed from the bearing 4 or 5. Subsequently, the winding 22 for further transport and the intermediate storage is brought by rotation of the gripping jaws 30 about the axis 31 by 90 ° into a position in which the longitudinal axis 6a of the roller 22 in a substantially vertical direction, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is shown.

Das in den Fig. 5 und 6 dargestellte Umschlaggerät 32 weist ebenfalls ein Gestell 33 auf, das mit Rädern 34 versehen ist. Vom Gestell 33 ragen zwei heb- und senkbare Tragarme 35 ab, die an ihren Enden mit Drehgelenken 36 versehen sind. In diesen Drehgelenken ist ein um eine horizontale Achse 36a drehbarer Träger 37 gelagert. Von diesem Träger 37 stehen zwei Greifer 38,39 ab, die in ihrem gegenseitigen Abstand veränderbar sind. Diese Greifer 38, 39 greifen an einer auf der Innenseite des Wickelkernes 6 angebrachten, umlaufenden Rippe 40 an und halten so den Wickelkern 6. Letzterer ist mit einer zweiten umlaufenden Rippe 41 versehen, die zum Abstützen des Wickelkernes 6 auf der Lagerung 4 bzw. 5 dient.The handling device 32 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 also has a frame 33 which is provided with wheels 34. From the frame 33 protrude two lifting and lowering support arms 35, which at their En which are provided with swivel joints 36. A support 37 which is rotatable about a horizontal axis 36a is mounted in these rotary joints. Two grippers 38, 39 protrude from this carrier 37 and their mutual spacing can be changed. These grippers 38, 39 engage on a circumferential rib 40 attached to the inside of the winding core 6 and thus hold the winding core 6. The latter is provided with a second circumferential rib 41 which is used to support the winding core 6 on the bearings 4 and 5 serves.

Das Umschlaggerät 32 erfasst mittels der Greifer 38,39 den auf der Lagerung 4 bzw. 5 sitzenden Wickel 22 und hebt letzteren von dieser Lagerung 4,5 ab. Anschliessend wird der in Fig. 5 strichpunktierte dargestellte Wickel 22 durch Drehen des Trägers 37 um die Achse 36a in eine Lage verbracht, in der die Längsachse 6a des Wickels 22 eine etwa vertikale Richtung einnimmt. In dieser Lage wird nun der Wickel 22 transportiert und gelagert.The handling device 32 uses the grippers 38, 39 to grasp the winding 22 seated on the bearing 4 or 5 and lifts the latter from this bearing 4, 5. 5 is brought into a position by rotating the carrier 37 about the axis 36a, in which the longitudinal axis 6a of the winding 22 assumes an approximately vertical direction. In this position, the winding 22 is now transported and stored.

Sowohl beim Umschlaggerät 26 gemäss den Fig. 3 und 4 wie beim Umschlaggerät 32 gemäss den Fig. 5 und 6 wird der Wickel nur am Umfang 22a bzw. am Wickelkern 6 behalten. Eine Abstützung der Druckprodukte auf der untenliegenden Seite, d.h. auf der Seite der Seitenkanten 21a, erfolgt nicht. Da der Wickel 22 wie bereits erwähnt eine derartige Grösse und Eigenstabilität aufweist, dass er selbsttragend ist, fällt der Wickel 22 auch in der in den Fig. 3 bis 6 gezeigten horizontalen Transportlage nicht auseinander. Dies erlaubt nun, den Wickel 22 nicht nur in dieser horizontalen Lage zu transportieren, sondern auch in dieser Lage zu stapeln.Both in the handling device 26 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 and in the handling device 32 according to FIGS. 5 and 6, the winding is only retained on the circumference 22a or on the winding core 6. A support of the printed products on the bottom side, i.e. on the side of the side edges 21a, does not take place. Since, as already mentioned, the winding 22 has such a size and inherent stability that it is self-supporting, the winding 22 does not fall apart even in the horizontal transport position shown in FIGS. 3 to 6. This now allows not only to transport the winding 22 in this horizontal position, but also to stack it in this position.

In den Fig. 7 und 8 ist ein aus einer Anzahl von unmittelbar aufeinanderliegenden Wickeln 22 gebildeter Turm T gezeigt, der auf einer Palette 42 aufliegt. Die Längsachsen 6a aller Wickel 22 verlaufen in vertikaler Richtung. Wie aus Fig. 8 hervorgeht, ist der Durchmesser D der Wickel 22 etwas kleiner als die Länge L der Palette 42. Dies erlaubt es, den Turm samt Palette mit herkömmlichen Fördergeräten, z.B. einem Gabelstapler oder einem Hochhubwagen zu bewegen. Die Paletten 42 können mittels der Umschlaggeräte 26,32 an der Aufwickelstation I beladen und anschliessend in ein Zwischenlager verbracht oder auf ein Fahrzeug verladen werden. Hiezu können wie bereits erwähnt herkömmliche Mittel verwendet werden. Zu diesem Zwecke ist es von Vorteil, wenn der Durchmesser D der Wickel 22 nicht oder nur geringfügig grösser ist als die Länge L oder die Breite B der verwendeten Paletten 42.7 and 8, a tower T is shown formed from a number of directly lying coils 22, which rests on a pallet 42. The longitudinal axes 6a of all the windings 22 run in the vertical direction. As can be seen from Fig. 8, the diameter D of the winding 22 is slightly smaller than the length L of the pallet 42. This allows the tower and the pallet to be loaded with conventional conveyors, e.g. a forklift or a pallet truck. The pallets 42 can be loaded by means of the handling devices 26, 32 at the winding station I and then moved to an intermediate storage or loaded onto a vehicle. As already mentioned, conventional means can be used for this. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the diameter D of the winding 22 is not or only slightly larger than the length L or the width B of the pallets 42 used.

Daneben ist es selbstverständlich möglich, die Wickel 22 zu einem Turm T aufzuschichten, der direkt auf dem Boden 43 aufliegt, wie das in Fig. 9 dargestellt ist. Bei dieser Lagerungsart erfolgt der Transport der Wickel 22 von der Aufwickelstation I zum Lagerort mittels Umschlaggeräten der in den Fig. 3 bis 6 gezeigten Art. Dabei müssen diese Umschlaggeräte jedoch nicht zwingend in der Lage sein, gleich wie die Umschlaggeräte 26 und 32 die Wickel 22 von der vertikalen in die horizontale Lage zu bringen, da diese Transportgeräte nur die bereits in eine horizontale Lage gebrachten Wickel 22 zu transportieren haben. Dabei ist es auch möglich, diese Transportgeräte so auszubilden, dass sie in der Lage sind, zwei und mehr Wickel gleichzeitig zu transportieren.In addition, it is of course possible to stack the windings 22 to form a tower T, which rests directly on the floor 43, as shown in FIG. 9. With this type of storage, the winding 22 is transported from the winding station I to the storage location by means of handling devices of the type shown in FIGS to bring from the vertical to the horizontal position, since these transport devices only have to transport the windings 22 which have already been brought into a horizontal position. It is also possible to design these transport devices in such a way that they are able to transport two or more windings at the same time.

Werden die zu den Wickeln 22 aufgewickelten Druckprodukte 21 für die Weiterverarbeitung benötigt, so werden die Wik kel 22 bzw. palettierten Wickeltürme T zu einer Abwickelstation 44 gebracht, wie sie beispielsweise in Fig. 10 dargestellt ist. Diese Abwickelstation 44 befindet sich vorzugsweise in der Nähe der Weiterverarbeitungseinrichtung.If the printed products 21 wound up to the coils 22 are required for further processing, the wik 22 or palletized winding towers T are brought to an unwinding station 44, as is shown, for example, in FIG. 10. This unwinding station 44 is preferably located in the vicinity of the further processing device.

Die Abwickelstation 44 ist der Aufwickelstation I gemäss Fig. I sehr ähnlich und weist zwei übereinander angeordnete Abwickelstellen 45,46 auf. An jeder Abwickelstelle 45, 46 ist eine nur schematisch dargestellte Lagerung 47,48 für die Wickelkerne 6 bzw. 7 vorgesehen. Für die Lagerung der Vorratsspulen 10,11 für die Wickelbänder 12,13 ist jede Abwickelstelle 45,46 mit einer Lagerung 49,50 ausgerüstet. Die Wickelbänder 12,13 werden über eine auf nicht näher dargestellte Weise angetriebene Förderrolle 51,52 geführt. Unterhalb jeder Lagerung 47,48 ist ein als Wippe ausgebildeter Bandförderer 53 bzw. 54 angeordnet, der am einen Ende um die Achse 53a bzw. 54a drehbar gelagert ist. Den Bandförderern 53,54 nachgeschaltet sind weitere Förderer 55,56, von denen der Förderer 55 nicht näher dargestellt ist. Die beiden Förderer 55,56 führen zu einer nicht dargestellten Weiche, an die ein Wegförderer 57 anschliesst.The unwinding station 44 is very similar to the winding station I according to FIG. I and has two unwinding points 45, 46 arranged one above the other. At each unwinding point 45, 46 there is only a schematically illustrated bearing 47, 48 for the winding cores 6 and 7, respectively. For the storage of the supply reels 10, 11 for the winding tapes 12, 13, each unwinding point 45, 46 is equipped with a bearing 49, 50. The winding tapes 12, 13 are guided over a conveyor roller 51, 52 driven in a manner not shown in detail. Arranged underneath each bearing 47, 48 is a belt conveyor 53 or 54 designed as a rocker, which is rotatably supported at one end about the axis 53a or 54a. Downstream of the belt conveyors 53, 54 are further conveyors 55, 56, of which the conveyor 55 is not shown in detail. The two conveyors 55, 56 lead to a switch, not shown, to which a conveyor 57 connects.

Mittels Umschlaggeräten 26 bzw. 32, wie sie in den Fig. 3 bis 6 gezeigt sind, werden die in horizontaler Lage zur Abwickelstation 44 gebrachten Wickel 22 in die vertikale Lage gebracht, in der die Längsachse 6a der Wickel 22 im wesentlichen horizontal verläuft. In dieser vertikalen Lage wird jeweils ein Wickel 22 auf die Lagerung 47 bzw. 48 aufgesetzt. Anschliessend wird das Wickelband 12 bzw. 13 mit der Vorratsspule 8 bzw. 9 verbunden. Durch Antreiben der Förderrollen 51 bzw. 52 wird das Wickelband 12 bzw. 13 und damit auch die Schuppenformation S vom Wickel 22 abgewickelt, der sich dabei in Richtung des Pfeiles E dreht. Die abgewickelte Schuppenformation S wird in Rich tung der Pfeile F weggeführt. Das Abwickeln der Schuppenformation S vom Wickel 22 erfolgt grundsätzlich auf die in der CH-PS 649 062 bzw. der dieser entsprechenden US-PS 4,438,618 beschriebene Weise.3 to 6, the windings 22 brought in the horizontal position to the unwinding station 44 are brought into the vertical position in which the longitudinal axis 6a of the windings 22 runs essentially horizontally. In this vertical position, a winding 22 is placed on the bearings 47 and 48, respectively. The winding tape 12 or 13 is then connected to the supply reel 8 or 9. By driving the conveyor rollers 51 and 52, the winding belt 12 and 13 and thus also the scale formation S is unwound from the winding 22, which thereby rotates in the direction of the arrow E. The developed scale formation S is carried away in the direction of arrows F. The unrolling of the scale formation S from the winding 22 is basically carried out in the manner described in CH-PS 649 062 or the corresponding US-PS 4,438,618.

In Fig. 10 ist an der unteren Abwickelstelle 46 ein leerer Wickelkern 7 gezeigt, der nun entfernt und durch einen neuen Wickel 22 ersetzt werden kann, während an der obern Abwickelstelle 45 der vorgängig bereitgestellte Wickel 22 abgewickelt wird.10 shows an empty winding core 7 at the lower unwinding point 46, which can now be removed and replaced by a new winding 22, while the previously provided winding 22 is unwound at the upper unwinding point 45.

Durch die beschriebene Ausbildung der Auf- und Abwickelstationen I und 44 als Doppelstationen ist es möglich, einen kontinuierlich anfallenden Schuppenstrom S aufzuwikkeln bzw. die Druckprodukte 21 als kontinuierlichen Schuppenstrom S abzuwickeln, obwohl von Zeit zu Zeit ein Austauschen eines vollen Wickels 22 durch einen leeren Wikkelkern 6,7 bzw. eines leeren Wickelkerns durch einen vollen Wickel nötig ist. Da die vollen Wickel 22 keinen sehr grossen Durchmesser haben (in der Regel kleiner als 2 Meter), können die beiden Aufwickelstellen 2,3 bzw. Abwikkelstellen 45,46 übereinander angeordnet werden, ohne dass in der Höhe unverhältnismässig viel Platz benötigt wird.The described design of the winding and unwinding stations I and 44 as double stations makes it possible to wind up a continuously occurring shingled stream S or to handle the printed products 21 as a continuous shingling stream S, although from time to time an entire winding 22 is replaced by an empty winding core 6.7 or an empty winding core through a full winding is necessary. Since the full rolls 22 do not have a very large diameter (generally less than 2 meters), the two winding rolls can len 2.3 or Abwikkelstellen 45.46 can be arranged one above the other without requiring a disproportionate amount of space.

Es hat sich gezeigt, dass sich bei einem Durchmesser des Wickelkernes 6,7 von 50 cm Wickel mit einem Aussendurchmesser von etwa 150 cm bilden lassen, die beim Transportieren bzw. Lagern mit in vertikaler Richtung verlaufender Längsachse 6a nicht auseinanderfallen, obwohl dabei der Wickel 22 auf der Unterseite nicht abgestützt wird.It has been shown that with a diameter of the winding core 6.7 of 50 cm, coils with an outside diameter of approximately 150 cm can be formed, which do not fall apart during transport or storage with the longitudinal axis 6a running in the vertical direction, although the winding 22 is not supported on the underside.

Es versteht sich, dass für das Verbringen der Wickel 22 von der vertikalen in die horizontale Lage und umgekehrt auch geeignete Umschlaggeräte verwendet werden können, die anders ausgebildet sind als die in den Fig. 3 bis 6 gezeigten Umschlaggeräte 26 und 32.It goes without saying that suitable handling devices, which are designed differently from the handling devices 26 and 32 shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, can also be used for moving the wraps 22 from the vertical to the horizontal position and vice versa.

Aus dem beschriebenen Aufwickeln der anfallenden Schuppenformation S zu selbsttragenden Wickeln 22 ergeben sich unter anderem die folgenden Vorteile: platzsparendes Lagern der Wickel, einfaches Transportieren der Wickel mit weitgehend herkömmlichen Geräten, keine grossen Investitionen in Spezialgeräte und -anlagen nötig.The winding up of the resulting scale formation S into self-supporting windings 22 results in, among other things, the following advantages: space-saving storage of the windings, simple transportation of the windings with largely conventional devices, no large investments in special equipment and systems necessary.
