Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for detecting, transporting and releasing printed products, in particular printed products occurring in a shingled stream, by means of a continuously driven endless link chain and thus gripping and clamping elements which are operatively connected.
  • a so-called transporter for print products or the like occurring in a shingled stream is known, in which grippers are provided at a distance from one another and provided with an upper and lower clamping tongue on a rotating traction element (link chain).
  • the individual gripper is brought up to the scale formation in such a way that essentially the upper clamping tongue overlaps the edge of the specimen to be gripped and the lower tongue is then pivoted in under the edge of the specimen by a rotary movement.
  • the two clamping tongues are then brought into the closed position either by pressing the gripper onto a base or by a spring force.
  • the state of the art also includes 3-dimensional, relatively high-speed, endless link chains of modern design (e.g. CH-PS 538 065), which are suitable for overcoming topologically difficult transport routes and are formed from a large number of chain links that are operatively connected to each other, whereby the chain links are mounted in spherical segment-shaped joint bodies.
  • 3-dimensional, relatively high-speed, endless link chains of modern design e.g. CH-PS 538 065
  • the object of the method according to the invention and of the device for carrying out the method is to use a continuous articulated chain, in particular the above-mentioned modern and in three dimensions movable endless articulated chain, to functionally detect corresponding printed products at a transfer point at relatively short intervals, certainly via difficult ones Transport pathways and automatically release them again at a predetermined delivery point.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that a single gripping and clamping element in the area of a transfer and a delivery point is actuated by correspondingly assigned and assigned control elements in such a way that at least one spring-elastic clamping arm is raised relative to a support arm for grasping and releasing the individual printed product and is quickly returned to the closed position for transport when leaving the control members by the resilient restoring force.
  • the device according to the invention for carrying out the method comprises gripping and clamping elements arranged on an endless link chain and thus operatively connected characterized in that the individual gripping and clamping element is formed in one piece and comprises a central fastening arm, a support arm arranged on one side and a spring arm arranged on the other side as well as a clamp arm in the closed position on the support arm under prestress, the The spring arm with the clamping arm can be brought from the closed into an open position by suitable control means and can be returned to the closed position by the resilient restoring force of the spring arm.
  • Fig.l shows a schematically represented side view of a portion of a conveyor device designated in its entirety with 100 for detecting and for the further transport of flat products, for example for the detection and further transport of printed products from an ordered shed stream, not shown, by means of an appropriately designed and arranged gripping and Clamping elements 10 provided endless link chain 90.
  • the known articulated as a 3-D articulated chain which can be subjected to g and pressure, consists of a large number of chain links 91 that are operatively connected to one another with spherical segment-shaped articulated bodies 92 and enables the transport of printed products.
  • the printed products are gripped by the gripping and clamping elements 10 at a first transfer point (not shown) arranged from a first to a second conveyor belt and released again at a delivery point, also not shown.
  • the course of the articulated chain 90 which is guided, for example, via deflection members and in single or twin chain channels (not shown in FIG. 1), is largely independent with regard to its topographical and spatial orientation and length-dependent dimensioning.
  • Deflection members can, for example, as shown schematically in Fig.l as a section, sprocket-like deflection rollers 80 are used.
  • the link chain 90 is driven in a substantially circumferential manner in the direction of arrow Z by a suitably designed and arranged chain drive (not shown). Furthermore, the all-round driven articulated chain 90 can be rotated about its longitudinal axis X in the direction of arrow X 'by suitable control means, so that the gripping and clamping elements 10 operatively connected to the chain links 91 are also rotated with respect to their position.
  • FIG. 2 shows the conveyor device 100 in plan view and one can partially recognize the deflection roller 80, the articulated chain 90 with the chain links 91 arranged at a distance from each other and gripping and clamping elements 10 operatively connected therewith.
  • the spring-elastic parts 20, 24 are inevitably moved from a basic position (dashed lines of the parts 20, 24 in FIG. 3) in the direction of arrow H until the part 20, acting as a spring arm, rests on the sliding surface 72 of the control member 70.
  • the gripping and clamping element 10 is in the open position and is moved further in the direction of the arrow Z, so that a printed product designated D, for example a folded newspaper, magazine or the like, either, as shown in FIG or a collar or fold, not shown, enters a gap S formed between the part 24, which acts as a clamping arm, and a support arm 16, which acts as a sliding and clamping surface.
  • the printed sheet D Due to the transport movement of the gripping and clamping element 10 in the arrow direction Z, the printed sheet D is introduced in the arrow direction Y into the gap S up to the inner edge 22 'of a web 22, a defined stop for the printed product.
  • the spring arm 20 has reached the rear edge 74 of the control member 70 and disengages the sliding surface 72, the restoring force of the spring arm 20 causes the clamping arm 24, including the newspaper D, to be pressed against the support arm 16 in a snap.
  • each gripping and clamping element 10 is opened by overflowing the control member 70, 70 'and then closed again in a snap with the printed product D or the like being clamped in.
  • the individual gripping and clamping element 19, as shown in FIG. 3, is arranged with its fastening arm 11 on a carrier element 35 which is operatively connected to the joint body 92 in a manner not shown, centered by a pin 36 and at the same time secured against rotation, and by means of fastening means , for example releasably fastened by a screw 37.
  • fastening means for example releasably fastened by a screw 37.
  • the direction of conveyance Z is also reversible and can thus also take place in the other direction.
  • FIG. 4 shows on a larger scale and in profile cross section the preferably one-piece gripping and clamping element 10, which is bent four times in a hairpin shape by means of curved parts 15, 18, 21 and 23 and from the horizontally oriented fastening arm 11 with openings 12 and 13, the Above spaced, inclined and designed as a sliding part support arm 16 with opening 17, the spring arm 20 arranged below and relatively inclined relative to the fastening arm 11 is formed with an elongated hole 19, the web 22 arranged essentially at right angles thereto and the clamping arm 24 .
  • the four times partly hairpin-shaped bent gripping and clamping element 10 is made of suitable spring steel from one piece.
  • the fastening arm 11 essentially forms the base to which a product support arm 16 is connected in succession with an arch 15, a spring arm 20 with a suspension arch 18, a web 22 for the product stop with an arch 21 and a clamping arm 24 with an arch 23.
  • the support arm 16, which is provided and designed as a sliding surface, is designed to be inclined to one side with respect to the fastening arm 11.
  • the spring arm 20 is in relation to the fastening arm 11 Formation of sufficient freedom from stroke and restoring force at an acute angle b inclined towards the other side, to which the web 22 is connected essentially at right angles thereto.
  • the clamping arm 24 adjoining the arch 23 is arranged largely parallel at a distance from the spring arm 20 and is pressed against the arch 15 or against the support arm 16 by a corresponding pretensioning force.
  • the length of the spring arm 20 is approximately twice the length of the fastening arm 11 and the clamping arm 24 extends with its front edge 25 approximately to the middle of the gripping and clamping element 10.
  • the clamping length of the clamping arm 24 corresponds to the entire width of the gripping and clamping element 10, the width K oriented transversely to the direction of movement corresponding to approximately three times the length K 'oriented in the direction of movement.
  • Another embodiment described below has additional fixing elements.
  • the gripping and clamping element 10 is shown in plan view and partially cut away and you can see the support arm 16 with the opening 17, a portion of the mounting arm 11 with the opening 12 and the clamping arm 24.
  • a so-called end face in the middle of the clamping arm 24 formed from an obtuse angle and with the flower B of the newspaper D in Actionable decision point P (decision tip) arises.
  • This decision point serves for the problem-free and defined insertion of the entire width of the product into the open gripping element 10. It is also possible to grasp between the bundled sides (leaves) of the flower of a folded printed product without the need for all the leaves to be together, ie to grab the whole stack of sheets together. The penetration of the truncated oblique part between individual sheets then "decides" right from the start the division of the stack into a contained part and a remaining part not affected by the socket.
  • the clamping arm 24 is provided with well rounded edges 26 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 5 also shows portions of the arches 18, 15 shown visibly and a portion of the fastening arm 11 and the web 22.
