Abstract

The invention relates to a device for collecting and depositing signatures which, arriving processed by rollers and transversely cut from a web, can be pulled apart by means of an acceleration device, can be offset laterally with respect to one another, in each case between the leading and trailing edge, by means of a deflection device which can be actuated in the signature cycle, can be collected in receiving compartments formed from vanes of a vane wheel driven in the collecting cycle and can be pushed out from said compartments onto a delivery conveyor, the signature cycle being an integral multiple of the collecting cycle. In order to design a device of the above type in such a way that the book blocks are precisely aligned at a high work speed, and with a particularly compact structure of the overall device, the invention is characterised in that the vanes are mounted so as to be pivotable axially parallel to the vane wheel axis on a hub of the vane wheel, in that, with uniform movement of the hub, the pivoting of the vane to be loaded can be controlled periodically in the collecting cycle with a phase of rapid movement into the initial receiving position, with a phase of slow movement in the angular collecting region, and with a phase of rapid movement out of the end receiving position, and in that the receiving compartment is formed by the vane and a leaf or wire spring connected to the rear of said vane. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Sammeln und Ablegen von Signaturen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patent­anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for collecting and storing signatures according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Es ist eine solche Vorrichtung zum Sammeln und Ablegen von Signaturen bekannt, die rollenverarbeitet von einem Bahn­strang quergeschnitten kommend mittels einer Beschleuni­gungsvorrichtung auseinanderziehbar, mittels einer im Signaturtakt betätigbaren Auslenkeinrichtung seitlich, jeweils zwischen vorlaufender und nachlaufender Kante zu­einander versetzbar, in aus Flügeln eines im Sammeltakt angetriebenen Flügelrads gebildeten Aufnahmefächern sammelbar und aus ihnen auf eine Abfördereinrichtung aus­schiebbar sind, wobei der Signaturtakt ein ganzzahliges Vielfaches des Sammeltaktes beträgt. Dieses Flügelrad weist starre Flügel auf; die Signaturstapel in den einzel­nen Fächern des Flügelrads haben keinerlei Halt, und zwar weder in ihrer Längs- noch in ihrer Querrichtung. Infolge dessen ist es praktisch unmöglich, einen sauber ausge­richteten Buchblock aus den Signaturen zu erzeugen, weil jede einzelne Signatur in dem Fach des Flügelrads beliebig verrutschen kann, und zwar auch noch beim Ablegen des Buchblocks auf die Abfördereinrichtung, die die Form eines Förderbands aufweist. Das gilt insbe­sondere dann, wenn die Signaturen aus mehreren Blättern bestehen, so daß die Gefahr des "Aufgehens" in Folge der Elastizität jedes Einzelblatts an der Faltkante besteht, und zwar umso stärker, je mehr Blätter eine Signatur umfaßt.Such a device for collecting and depositing signatures is known, which, processed in rolls, can be pulled apart cross-sectionally from a web strand by means of an acceleration device, laterally by means of a deflection device which can be actuated in the signature cycle, can be displaced relative to one another in each case between the leading and trailing edge, in vanes of an impeller driven in the collection cycle formed receiving compartments can be collected and pushed out of them onto a removal device, the signature cycle being an integral multiple of the collection cycle. This impeller has rigid blades; the signature stacks in the individual compartments of the impeller have no hold, neither in their longitudinal nor in their transverse direction. As a result, it is practically impossible to produce a properly aligned book block from the signatures, because each individual signature can slip as desired in the compartment of the impeller, even when the book block is placed on the conveyor, which is in the form of a conveyor belt. This is particularly true if the signatures consist of several sheets, so that the risk of "opening" due to the elasticity of each individual sheet at the folded edge, and the stronger the more sheets a signature comprises, the more so.

Es ist auch eine Vorrichtung bekannt, die ein Flügelrad mit achsparallel zur Flügelachse schwenkbar gelagerten Flügeln aufweist. Hier handelt es sich aber um eine Stapelvorrichtung für eine Bogenzählvorrichtung, und die Flügel sind nicht auf ihrem gesamten Umfangsweg zwangsge­steuert, sondern stehen in erster Linie unter Einfluß der Fliehkraft, und es erfolgt lediglich eine Schwenksteuerung der einzelnen Flügel durch eine Platte, die eine gewisse Arbeitsfunktion hat, und sodann noch durch eine Boden­platte, deren Funktion es aber nur ist, den Durchmesser des Kreises, auf dem sich die Spitzen der Flügel bewegen, zu verkleinern, um den Raumbedarf der gesamten Vorrichtung zu verringern.A device is also known which has an impeller with vanes which are pivotably mounted axially parallel to the vane axis. However, this is a stacking device for a sheet counting device, and the wings are not positively controlled over their entire circumferential path, but are primarily under the influence of centrifugal force, and only the individual wings are controlled by a plate which has a certain work function has, and then by a bottom plate, the function of which is only to reduce the diameter of the circle on which the tips of the wings move, in order to reduce the space requirement of the entire device.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend zu gestalten, daß die Buchblocks bei hoher Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit genau aus­gerichtet werden, und zwar bei besonders kompaktem Aufbau der Gesamtvorrichtung.The object of the invention is to design a device of the type mentioned in such a way that the book blocks are precisely aligned at high working speed, with a particularly compact structure of the overall device.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.This object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung gestattet es, auf engstem Raum sowohl das Zurechtschneiden, das Sammeln, das Ausrichten und das Ablegen der Buchblocks durchzuführen. Die Vorrichtung ist sehr kompakt, kann sehr schnell arbeiten und ist auch schnell und einfach dem Signatur­format in Breite, Höhe und Dicke anpassbar. Eine sichere und genaue Bildung des Buchblocks ist garantiert, und es ist eine sehr hohe Arbeitsgeschwindigkeit von über 6ooo Stück Signaturen pro Stunde erreichbar.The device according to the invention makes it possible to carry out the cutting, collecting, aligning and depositing of the book blocks in a confined space. The device is very compact, can work very quickly and can also be quickly and easily adapted to the signature format in width, height and thickness. A secure and precise formation of the book block is guaranteed, and a very high working speed of over 6ooo pieces of signatures per hour can be achieved.

Die Beschleunigungsvorrichtung kann aus beiderseits an den Signaturen anliegenden, gleich schnell angetriebenen Bändern bestehen, die durch eine Mündung bildende Umlenk­rollen geführt sind. Im Interesse einer besonders sicheren Führung der Signaturen ist die Umlenkrolle des sich flügelseitig erstreckenden Bands außerhalb des Drehbereichs des Flügels und die Umlenkrolle des sich federseitig er­streckenden Bands innerhalb des Drehbereichs angeordnet, wobei die Auslenkeinrichtung vom federseitigen Band über­streckt wird.The acceleration device can be driven from both sides of the signatures and driven at the same speed Belts exist, which are guided through a mouth forming pulleys. In the interest of a particularly secure guidance of the signatures, the deflecting roller of the band extending on the wing side is arranged outside the rotating area of the wing and the deflecting roller of the band extending on the spring side is arranged within the rotating area, the deflection device being overstretched by the spring-side band.

Als Begrenzung des Aufnahmefachs zur Nabe hin ist zweck­mäßig eine feststehende, jedoch entsprechend der Signatur­länge verstellbare Führungsschiene vorgesehen.A fixed guide rail, which is however adjustable according to the signature length, is expediently provided as a limitation of the receiving compartment towards the hub.

Weiter ist es zweckmäßig, federseitig eine Bremsvor­richtung zum Abbremsen der Signaturen in Form einer Bürste mit dem Flügel zugekehrten Borsten vorzusehen, die etwa senkrecht zu dem Flügel verstellbar ist. Durch die Brems­wirkung dieser Bremsvorrichtung werden die mit ziemlich hoher Geschwindigkeit ankommenden Signaturen vor ihrem Auftreffen auf die innere Aufnahmefachbegrenzung in ge­wissem Maße abgebremst, und es werden unerwünschte Flatter- ­oder Faltbewegungen verhindert. Die Verstellbarkeit dieser Bremsvorrichtung dient der Anpassung an die kinetische Energie der Signaturen, die von deren Masse und deren Ge­schwindigkeit abhängt.It is also expedient to provide on the spring side a braking device for braking the signatures in the form of a brush with bristles facing the wing, which is adjustable approximately perpendicular to the wing. Due to the braking effect of this braking device, the signatures arriving at a fairly high speed are decelerated to a certain extent before they strike the inner storage compartment limit, and undesirable fluttering or folding movements are prevented. The adjustability of this braking device is used to adapt to the kinetic energy of the signatures, which depends on their mass and their speed.

Es folgt die Darstellung eines Ausführungsbeispiels. Bei den Zeichnungen zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine Seitenansicht der Sammel- und Auslege­vorrichtung
  • Fig. 2 Eine Perspektivansicht der Sammel- und Auslege­einrichtung.
An exemplary embodiment is shown below. The drawings show:
  • Fig. 1 is a side view of the collection and delivery device
  • Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the collection and delivery device.

Das ankommende Strangpaket 1 läuft zu einer Schneidvor­richtung 2, wo es zu Signaturen quergeschnitten wird. Hinter der Schneidvorrichtung 2 folgt eine Beschleunigungs­einrichtung in Form meherer beiderseits an den Signaturen 3 anliegenden, gleichschnell angetriebenen Bändern 4, 5. Infolge der von diesen Bändern 4, 5 ausgeübten Beschleuni­gung werden zwischen den aufeinander folgenden Signaturen Lücken oder Abstände 6 erzeugt. Unterhalb dieser Be­schleunigungsvorrichtung befindet sich eine Reihe von im Takt des Ankommens der Signaturen 3 angetriebenen Nocken 7, die sich um eine quer zur Bewegungsrichtung der Signaturen 3 verlaufende, gemeinsame Drehachse 8 drehen. Jeder Nocken 7 weist einen radial zur Drehachse 8 verlaufenden, in An­kunftsrichtung weisenden Absatz 9 auf, auf den jede Signa­tur 3 auftrifft. Von der Innenkante dieses Absatzes 9 verläuft eine im Radius zunehmende Abweisfläche 10, durch welche jede von dem Absatz 9 abgeworfene Signatur mit ihrem oberen Ende vor der Rückkehr des Absatzes in seine horizontale Ausgangslage nach außen, vom Nocken weg, ge­drückt wird, so daß die nachfolgende Signatur ungehindert nach unten fallen kann. Zur sicheren Führung der Signa­turen 3 ist die untere Umlenkrolle 11 mit dem auf der­selben Seite der Signaturen 3 wie die Nocken 7 liegenden Band 4 unterhalb der Nocken 7 angeordnet. Die untere Um­lenkrolle 12 des Bandes 5 dagegen ist außerhalb des äußeren Endes der daran vorbeilaufenden Flügel 13 eines Flügelrads 14 mit Nabe 15 angeordnet.The incoming strand package 1 runs to a cutting device 2, where it is cross-cut into signatures. Behind the cutting device 2 there is an acceleration device in the form of several belts 4, 5, which are driven at the same speed on both sides of the signatures 3. As a result of the acceleration exerted by these belts 4, 5, gaps or gaps 6 are generated between the successive signatures. Below this acceleration device there is a series of cams 7 which are driven in time with the arrival of the signatures 3 and which rotate about a common axis of rotation 8 which runs transversely to the direction of movement of the signatures 3. Each cam 7 has a shoulder 9, which runs radially to the axis of rotation 8 and points in the direction of arrival, on which each signature 3 strikes. From the inner edge of this paragraph 9 runs a radially increasing deflecting surface 10, through which each signature thrown off the paragraph 9 is pressed with its upper end before the paragraph returns to its horizontal starting position outwards, away from the cam, so that the following one Signature can fall down unhindered. To securely guide the signatures 3, the lower deflection roller 11 with the band 4 lying on the same side of the signatures 3 as the cams 7 is arranged below the cams 7. The lower deflection roller 12 of the belt 5, however, is outside the outer end of the blades 13 passing therethrough an impeller 14 with a hub 15 is arranged.

Jeder der Flügel 13 besteht aus einer Reihe von nebenein­anderliegenden Flügelblättern. Jeweils ein Flügel 13 des Flügelrads 14, eine rückwärtig damit verbundene Blatt- ­oder Drahtfeder23 und eine feststehende, jedoch entspre­chend der Signaturlänge verstellbare Führungschiene 21 begrenzen ein Auffangfach 16 des Flügelrads 14. Sämtliche Flügel 13 sind an der Nabe 15 um zueinander und zur Dreh­achse des Flügelrads 14 parallele Schwenkachsen 17 schwenkbar gelagert. Die Flügel 13 werden während jedes Umlaufs des Flügelrads 14 durch eine feststehende Steuer­nockenscheibe, über Rollenhebel und dergleichen um die Schwenkachsen 17 verschwenkt, und zwar derart, daß in Ver­bindung mit während eines Umlaufs des Flügelrads 14 wechselnder, insgesamt aber mit dem Ankommen der einzelnen Signaturen 3 angepaßter Umfangsgeschwindigkeit des Flügel­rads 14 sich Flügel in einem geringen Abstand von der Abwurfstelle der Absätze 9 der Nocken 7, diesem etwas schrägstehend weggekehrt, befindet. Während des Abwerfens nachfolgender Signaturen wird es langsam entsprechend der größer werdenden Dicke des Signaturpakets weiterbewegt. Nach Abwurf einer bestimmten Anzahl von Signaturen 3, eines Buchblocks 22, wird es dann schnell weiterbewegt, während­dessen der nachfolgende Flügel 13 schnell in die Ausgangs­lage des vorangehenden Flügels wandert und der vorangehende Flügel mit dem auf ihm aufliegenden Buchblock 22 sich unter Verzögerung im letzten Abschnitt diese Bewegungsteils zu einer Zapfentransportkette 18 bewegt. Der Buchblock 22 wird unter Führung durch die Führungsschiene 21 auf der Zapfen­transportkette 18 abgelegt.Each of the wings 13 consists of a series of side-by-side wing blades. In each case, a wing 13 of the impeller 14, a leaf spring or wire spring 23 connected to the rear and a fixed but adjustable guide rail 21, which is adjustable according to the signature length, delimit a collecting compartment 16 of the impeller 14. All of the wings 13 are on the hub 15 to one another and to the axis of rotation of the impeller 14 parallel pivot axes 17 pivotally mounted. The vanes 13 are pivoted about the pivot axes 17 during each revolution of the impeller 14 by a fixed control cam, via roller levers and the like, in such a way that in connection with alternating during one revolution of the impeller 14, but overall with the arrival of the individual signatures 3 adapted circumferential speed of the impeller 14 wing is a small distance from the discharge point of the paragraphs 9 of the cams 7, this slightly turned away. As subsequent signatures are discarded, it is moved slowly according to the increasing thickness of the signature package. After dropping a certain number of signatures 3, a book block 22, it is then quickly moved on, during which the following wing 13 quickly moves into the starting position of the previous wing and the preceding wing with the book block 22 resting on it, with delay in the last section Moving part moved to a pin transport chain 18. The book block 22 is placed on the journal transport chain 18 under the guidance of the guide rail 21.

In dem die abgeworfenen Signaturen 3 aufnehmenden Aufnahme­fach 16 des Flügelrads 14 ist unterhalb der Nocken 7, kurz vor der inneren Begrenzung dieses Fachs durch die Führungs­schiene 21 eine Bremsvorrichtung in Form einer Bürste 19 mit dem das Aufnahmefach begrenzenden Flügel 13 zugekehrten Borsten vorgesehen. Diese Bürste 19 ist etwa senkrecht zu diesem Flügel 19 verstellbar, was durch eine Verstellvor­richtung 20 angedeutet ist.In the receiving compartment 16 of the impeller 14 that receives the dropped signatures 3, the cam 7 is short, below Before the inner boundary of this compartment by the guide rail 21, a braking device in the form of a brush 19 is provided with the bristles facing the wing 13 delimiting the receiving compartment. This brush 19 is adjustable approximately perpendicular to this wing 19, which is indicated by an adjusting device 20.

Anstelle der Bürste 13 können zum Abbremsen und Zusammen­halten des gerade entstehenden Buchblocks 22 auch mehrere Blatt-oder Drahtfedern 23 in etwa gleichgerichtet mit dem Flügel 13 vorgesehen sein. Die Justage dieser Blatt- ­oder Drahtfedern 23 kann einzeln oder aber auch gemeinsam durch die Mittelachse des Flügelrads 14 durchgeführt werden. Die Federn 23, die in der Flügelradnabe 15 be­festigt sind, dienen dazu, die einschlagenden Signaturen 3 in dem Fach 16 aneinander zu drücken und dadurch abzu­bremsen und die anschließend geformten Buchblocks 22 beim Ablegen auf der Zapfentransportkette 18 zusammenzuhalten.Instead of the brush 13, a plurality of leaf springs or wire springs 23 can also be provided in approximately the same direction as the wing 13 for braking and holding together the book block 22 that is just being formed. The adjustment of these leaf or wire springs 23 can be carried out individually or together through the central axis of the impeller 14. The springs 23, which are fastened in the impeller hub 15, serve to press the impacting signatures 3 in the compartment 16 against one another and thereby brake them and to hold the subsequently formed book blocks 22 together when they are placed on the pin transport chain 18.
