Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport device for printed products according to the preamble of claim 1, and to the use of this transport device.
  • Such a transport device is known from GB-A-2 089 328.
  • a single conveyor has grippers arranged at fixed intervals on a pulling element in order to feed printed products to a removal area, where they are taken over by removal grippers of a removal conveyor and transported away.
  • the removal grippers are also arranged at a fixed distance on a rotating traction element, but the mutual distance between these removal grippers is greater than the distance between the grippers of the individual conveyor. Accordingly, the removal conveyor is driven faster with respect to the individual conveyor, so that in the removal area, in which the two conveyors run in a straight line and parallel to each other, the removal grippers catch up with the printed product to be gripped and held in the area of the leading edge by the gripper and from behind with the forward-facing one Detect mouth opening.
  • the movable jaw of the removal gripper can be pivoted about an axis perpendicular to the conveying direction and parallel to the fixed jaw, so that when printing products are collected by means of the removal conveyor, the printed products lying on the movable jaw and held by subsequent removal grippers are lifted by one when the removal gripper is opened to be able to grasp further printed products with the mouth opening.
  • Another transport device is known from DE-A 26 57 691 or from the largely identical US-PS 4,039,182.
  • the grippers of the removal conveyor are each arranged on a carriage which can be moved in a self-contained guide rail.
  • Each of these carriages (compare FIGS. 4 and 7 of the mentioned DE-A) is coupled directly to the preceding and to the following carriages via a towing connection which allows the mutual spacing of the carriages to be changed between a minimum and a maximum value.
  • Each carriage is provided with follow-up links which engage in the removal area between the gears of a driven screw, which thus defines the mutual distance between the cars in the area of the screw, so that the printed products which are produced by the individual conveyor can be taken over "in phase" by the removal conveyor .
  • the wagons of this removal conveyor are driven by a driven screw, while between the removal area and the delivery area the row of wagons of the removal conveyor can stretch or compress because of the towing connection between them.
  • the printed products can rub against one another during transport through the removal conveyor because of the variable distances between the removal grippers. This is disadvantageous for printed products "fresh from the press".
  • the effort due to the drive of the removal conveyor both in the removal area and in the delivery area is considerable both in technical terms and in terms of power requirements.
  • the removal conveyor generates annoying noise, particularly at higher transport speeds.
  • the movable jaw In the open position, the movable jaw is pivoted laterally from the assigned fixed jaw and the shaft is extended out of the gripper body, so that when the shaft is rotated by means of a link control, the movable jaw can reach under the printed product to be detected in the area of the leading leading edge.
  • the shaft is then raised against the action of an opening spring in order to clamp the printed product between the jaws.
  • the shaft is held by a detachable clamping device by tilting.
  • the proposed transport device has the features defined in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
  • the transport device 10 shown in FIGS. 1-3 has a single conveyor 11 which can be designed, for example, according to CH-PS 592,562 or DE-PS 2,519 561 (largely identical in content to US-PS 3,955,667).
  • the individual conveyor 11 is equipped with a plurality of controlled grippers 12 (FIG. 2), which are fixed at regular intervals a (FIG. 2) from one another on an endless, continuously driven traction element, for example a chain 13 (FIG. 3).
  • the chain is 13 guided over rollers 14 in an open hollow rail 15 and is driven by means not shown in the direction of arrow 16 (FIG. 1).
  • Each of the grippers 12 is set up to grasp the leading edge of a printed product, here a newspaper 17, and to transport this printed product to a certain extent in a hanging manner.
  • a removal conveyor 18 is arranged under the individual conveyor 11. This also has a multiplicity of controlled grippers 19 (FIG. 2) which are fastened at regular intervals from one another to an endless, continuously driven traction element in the form of a chain 20 (FIG. 3).
  • the chain 20 wraps around a double-walled chain wheel 21 which is wedged on a shaft 22.
  • the motor 25 and a bearing tube 27 (FIG. 3) for the shaft 22 are fixedly mounted on a cantilever 26 which protrudes from the frame of a winding station 28 which is only shown schematically in FIG. 1.
  • the double-walled sprocket 21 is arranged inside a casing 29, on the outer edge of which a hollow rail 30 is fastened, in which the chain 20 of the removal conveyor 18 is guided via rollers 31 (FIG. 3).
  • This hollow rail 30 extends to a certain extent as a self-supporting structure, stiffened by a strut 32, into the delivery area of the removal conveyor 18 and carries a further casing 33 in which a chain wheel 34 wrapped around by the chain 20 is rotatably mounted.
  • the height of the delivery area (sprocket 34) of the removal conveyor 18 can thus be adjusted within a certain range.
  • the removal conveyor 18 is under the action of a tension spring, for example a gas spring 36, which is articulated at one end below the arm 26 to a fixed pin and at the other end to a bracket 37 fastened to the casing 29.
  • the gas spring 36 has the tendency to pivot the entire removal conveyor 18 counterclockwise, as is indicated by dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 1 and 2. This will be returned in connection with this particular embodiment. It should be noted, however, that even when the removal conveyor 18 is pivoted, the position of the chain wheel 21 and its drive 24, 25, that is to say the position of the entire removal area, is not changed.
  • the grippers 12 of the individual conveyor are described in detail in the documents already mentioned (DE OS 2 519 561 and US PS 3,955,667).
  • the movable, lower jaws 38 (FIG. 2) of the grippers 12 are fastened to a shaft and are under the action of an opening spring which tends to keep the jaws 38 not only removed from the associated fixed jaws but also swung out sideways (FIG 2 top right).
  • the jaws 38 In the closed position, on the other hand, the jaws 38 are aligned with the assigned fixed jaws and delivered to them and held in this position by a locking mechanism which is not visible here. With this locking mechanism a tongue or flag 39 (Fig.
  • a release device 40 (FIG. 2) is provided in the removal area, which has a roller 41 which grips under the tongues or lugs 39 and can be raised and lowered, for example, by means of an electromagnet. In the raised state, the roller 41 lifts the tongues or flags 39 passing by and thus opens the associated gripper 12.
  • the grippers 19 of the removal conveyor 18 have a gripper plate 42 which projects laterally from the chain and which at the same time carries the fixed jaw of the respective gripper 19.
  • the movable jaw 43 of the grippers 19 is fastened to the upper end of a shaft 44 which is displaceable longitudinally and rotatably in the gripper plate 42.
  • the shaft 44 carries a protruding cam 45, which cooperates with a fixed backdrop 46. If the cam 45 is in contact with the link 46, then the movable jaw 43 is aligned with the gripper plate 42 after the fixed jaw.
  • the lower end face of the shaft 44 which is preferably provided with a plastic coating, interacts with a horizontal-axis link wheel 47, which is freely rotatably mounted on the upper end of a carrier 48 which in turn is mounted on the bearing tube 27 of the shaft 22.
  • a horizontal-axis link wheel 47 which is freely rotatably mounted on the upper end of a carrier 48 which in turn is mounted on the bearing tube 27 of the shaft 22.
  • the compression spring 49 is now mounted in such a twisted state that it not only strives to urge the shaft 44 downward, but also to twist it so far that the movable jaw 43 swings out to the side towards the chain 20.
  • the torsion of the compression spring 49 is not so pronounced that the "restoring force" emanating from it can overcome the friction that exists between the movable jaw 43 pressed against the newspaper 17 by the axial action of the compression spring 49 and the newspaper 17 itself.
  • the consequence of this design is that as long as the jaw 43 clamps a newspaper 17 (or is in engagement with the associated fixed jaw), this movable jaw 43 remains in the closed position.
  • a chain conveyor 50 connects to the chain wheel 34, one deflection roller of which is coaxial with the chain wheel 34 and rigidly connected to the latter, and the other deflection roller of which is rotatably mounted at the end of a boom, not shown, which extends from the casing 33.
  • the ribbon conveyor 50 forms, together with the circumference of a winding 51 being formed in the winding frame 28 or with the circumference of the core 52 of the winding 51 (if the removal conveyor 18 has the position shown in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 1), a clamping gap into which the Withdrawal conveyor 18 taken over newspapers 17 are further wound together with a winding tape, not shown, on the winding rotating in the direction of arrow 53.
  • the gas spring 36 already mentioned ensures that the removal conveyor 18 and with it the ribbon conveyor 50 adapt the growing diameter of the winding 51 without adjustments being necessary in the removal area (sprocket 21).
  • the distance between the grippers 19 and the diameter of the chain wheel 21 are coordinated with one another such that the distance between the grippers 19 during the rotation around the chain wheel 21 corresponds exactly to the distance a between the grippers 12 of the individual conveyor 11.
  • the point where the newspapers 17 are gripped by the grippers 19 projects radially outwards from the chain 20, it follows that the newspapers taken over by the removal conveyor 18 in its straight sections transported in a slightly compressed stream of shingles and thus reach the winding 51. To all In cases, the formation of newspapers 17 taken over by individual conveyor 11 is retained.
  • the removal area is preceded by a few slide rails 54 (FIGS. 2, 3), which prevent the newspapers 17 brought in by the individual conveyor 11 from fluttering, particularly at higher conveying speeds, and also their trailing edges bring the appropriate height for takeover by the grippers 19.
