Abstract

For the purpose of taking preferably folded printed products in a continuous sequence, transport paths (e.g. 24) are provided which in each case run in looping manner over various planes (31 to 35). The transport paths (24) are divided into different, separately controllable block sections, so that the printed-product receiving devices (e.g. 25, 26) which run along them, each of which devices comprises at least one carriage (30) and a driving head (28), can be controlled independently of one another and can be fed to a printed-product delivery station (9 to 13), each of which is preferably in the form of a folding apparatus. The use of support structures (38, 39) in the said receiving devices (25, 26) which can be pushed together or apart makes it possible to receive products continuously and to feed them to specified storage regions of further processing stations (19 to 23). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme, Speicherung und Weiterverarbeitung von Druckprodukten mit Transport- und Speichereinrichtungen.The invention relates to a device for receiving, storing and further processing printed products with transport and storage devices.

Allgemein bekannt ist es, Transportvorrichtungen, beispielsweise Förderketten, Förderbänder oder fahrerlose Flurförderfahrzeuge für den Transport von Druckprodukten einzusetzen. Dies erfordert eine wiederholte Obergabe der Druckprodukte von einem Beförderungs- bzw. Bearbeitungsmittel zum anderen, wobei die Speicherung insbesondere von einer großen Anzahl von Druckprodukten Probleme hinsichtlich des Raumbedarfes und des Zugriffes mit sich bringt. Diese Probleme verstärkten sich noch dadurch, daß die herkömmlichen Transporteinrichtungen üblicherweise in horizontaler bzw. waagerechter Ebene laufen. Außerdem sind die zur Beförderung der Druckprodukte im Schuppenstrom eingesetzten Förderketten bzw. Bänder in ihrer Länge und Transportgeschwindigkeit begrenzt. Eine vollautomatische Verarbeitung mit derartigen allgemein bekannten Systemen ist somit nicht möglich bzw. nur schwer erreichbar.It is generally known to use transport devices, for example conveyor chains, conveyor belts or driverless industrial trucks for the transport of printed products. This requires a repeated transfer of the printed products from one transport or processing means to the other, the storage, in particular of a large number of printed products, having problems in terms of space requirements and access. These problems were exacerbated by the fact that the conventional transport devices usually run in a horizontal or horizontal plane. In addition, the conveyor chains or belts used to convey the printed products in the shingled stream are limited in length and transport speed. Fully automatic processing with such generally known systems is therefore not possible or is difficult to achieve.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine individuell steuerbare Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme und zum Transport von Druckprodukten zu schaffen, die den Einsatz eines vollautomatischen flexiblen Fördersystems ermöglicht, und mit der hohe Transport Kapazitäten- und Geschwindigkeiten erreichbar sind.The object of the invention is to create an individually controllable device for receiving and transporting printed products, which enables the use of a fully automatic, flexible conveyor system and with which high transport capacities and speeds can be achieved.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Anwendung der Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils im Anspruch 1 gelöst und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen. In diesen zeigen, jeweils vereinfacht bzw. schematisiert:

  • Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht auf die an bzw. neben einer Druckmaschine angeordnete erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme, Transport und Speicherung von Druckprodukten,

Fig. 1 zeigt die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung im Zusammenhang mit einer Druckmaschine, die die Druckeinheiten 1 bis 8 umfaßt. Jeder der Druckeinheiten 1 bis 8 ist ein Falzapparat, in dem hier beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils ein Doppelfalzapparat 9 bis 13 zugeordnet. Jedem Doppelfalzapparat 9 bis 13 ist jeweils eine der Beladestationen 14 bis 18 zugeordnet. Von diesen werden jeweils die Druckprodukte zu einer der Speicher- und Weiterverarbeitungsstationen 19 bis 23 geführt. Dafür sind entsprechende Transportbahnen vorzugsweise in verschiedenen Ebenen vorgesehen, von denen eine Transportbahn 24 in Fig. 1 angedeutet ist. Durch diese Transportbahnen werden die einzelnen Druckeinheiten 1 bis 8 bzw. die Doppelfalzapparate 9 bis 13 jeweils mit den Speicher- und Weiterverarbeitungsstationen 19 bis 23 verbunden. Auf jeder Transportbahn z.B. 24 werden vorzugsweise zwei Bahnen 25 und 26 bewegt, die jeweils einen Triebkopf 27 bzw. 28 und angekoppelte Wagen 29 bzw. 30 für jeden der Doppelfalzapparate 9 bis 13 umfassen.Fig. 1 shows the device according to the invention in connection with a printing press, which comprises the printing units 1 to 8. Each of the printing units 1 to 8 is assigned a folder, in the exemplary embodiment described here a double folder 9 to 13 is assigned. One of the loading stations 14 to 18 is assigned to each double folder 9 to 13. From each of these, the printed products are led to one of the storage and further processing stations 19 to 23. Corresponding transport tracks are preferably provided for this in different levels, of which a transport track 24 is indicated in FIG. 1. The individual printing units 1 to 8 or the double folders 9 to 13 are each connected to the storage and further processing stations 19 to by these transport tracks 23 connected. On each transport track, for example 24, two tracks 25 and 26 are preferably moved, each of which comprises a drive head 27 or 28 and coupled carriages 29 or 30 for each of the double folders 9 to 13.

Insgesamt werden also in dem hier beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel von der Druckmaschine bzw. deren Druckeinheiten 1 bis 8 über zehn Bahnen Druckprodukte zu den Weiterverarbeitungsstationen 19 bis 23 geführt.In total, in the exemplary embodiment described here, the printing press or its printing units 1 to 8 convey ten products to the further processing stations 19 to 23 via ten webs.

Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, arbeiten jeweils in den Transportebenen 31 bis 35 zwei Bahnen, die bei 25 und 26 in Fig. 1 für die Ebene 31 angedeutet sind. Ober diese werden die aus dem Doppelfalzapparat 9 neuen kommenden Druckprodukte beispielsweise der Speicher- und Weiterverarbeitungsstation 23 zugeführt. Während eine Bahn, z.B. 25, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet, beladen wird, kann die andere Bahn, beispielsweise die Bahn 26 im zugeordneten Speicherbereich, z.B. 23, entladen werden oder befindet sich im entladenen Zustand in der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Position in Wartestellung. Bei größeren Entfernungen zwischen der Druckmaschine und der Weiterverarbeitungsstation ist es zweckmäßig, mehr als zwei Bahnen einzusetzen.As can be seen from FIG. 2, two tracks operate in the transport planes 31 to 35, which are indicated at 25 and 26 in FIG. 1 for the plane 31. The new printed products coming from the double folder 9 are fed via these, for example, to the storage and further processing station 23. While a train, e.g. 25, as indicated in Fig. 1, the other web, for example the web 26 in the assigned storage area, e.g. 23, are unloaded or are in the unloaded state in the position shown in FIG. 1 in the waiting position. With larger distances between the printing press and the finishing station, it is advisable to use more than two webs.

Aus Fig. 2 geht hervor, wie in Bereichen 36 und 37 zick-zackförmige, auseinander- und zusammenschiebbare Speicherstrukturen 38 und 39 mit aus dem Doppelfalzapparat 9 kommenden Falzprodukten beladen werden. Der Beladevorgang ist im einzelnen in den Patentanmeldungen P 36 21 820, P 36 21 832 der gleichen Anmelderin beschrieben und dargestellt. Gemäß Fig. 2 werden Kassetten 40 und 41 beladen. Fig. 3 zeigt in einer Schnittdarstellung entlang der Linie A-A der Fig. 2, wie volle Kassetten 42 bis 44 von Senkrechtförderern 45 in Richtung eines Pfeiles 46 nach oben befördert werden, während ein Förderer 47 leere Kassetten 48 bis 50 in Richtung eines Pfeiles 51 zuführt. Zum Beladen werden leere zick-zackförmige Speicherstrukturen 52 bzw. 53 den jeweiligen Kassetten entnommen und die Leerkassetten, beispielsweise 49 bzw. 50 in Richtung eines Pfeiles 54 befördert, um die Positionen der vollen Kassetten 40 bzw. 41 einzunehmen, die vorher in Richtung eines Pfeiles 54 auf die Position der Kassetten 42 bzw. 43 befördert worden sind. Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, werden durch die Förderer 45 bzw. 47 Kassetten auf die Ebene 31 angehoben bzw. aus dieser entnommen und abgesenkt. Die entsprechenden Förderer für die anderen Ebenen 32 bis 35 an den Beladestationen 15 bis 18 sind auf die jeweilige Förderhöhe verlängert und von den Förderebenen 31 bis 35 werden Kassetten von hier nicht näher dargestellten Vorrichtungen in Richtung der Transportebene geschwenkt, wie in Fig. 1 angedeutet ist, also etwa um 90°. Der Bahn, beispielsweise gemäß Fig. 1 der Transportbahn 24 wird also jeweils eine leere Kassette entnommen und dafür eine volle Kassette aufgeladen, wonach sie um eine Wagenlänge auf die nächste Position weiter vorrückt. Jede Bahn auf jeder Ebene wird über einen sogenannten Blockstellenbetrieb, wie er beispielsweise auch aus der Bahntechnik allgemein bekannt ist, unabhängig voneinander gesteuert. Dies ist möglich, wenn die einzelnen Schienenabschnitte aufgeteilt und voneinander isoliert sind, so daß diese unabhängig voneinander mit einem elektrischen Netz verbunden werden können. Im Rahmen der Erfindung können jedoch auch andere Steuerungstechniken, zum Beispiel mit unterschiedlichen Frequenzen, eingesetzt werden, um eine individuelle Steuerung zu ermöglichen, wobei eine Förderebene die andere nicht stören darf.2 shows how in regions 36 and 37 zigzag-shaped storage structures 38 and 39 which can be pushed apart and pushed together are loaded with folding products coming from the double folder 9. The loading process is described and illustrated in detail in patent applications P 36 21 820, P 36 21 832 by the same applicant. 2, cassettes 40 and 41 are loaded. 3 shows in a sectional view along the line AA of FIG. 2 how full cassettes 42 to 44 are conveyed upwards by vertical conveyors 45 in the direction of an arrow 46, while a conveyor 47 feeds empty cassettes 48 to 50 in the direction of an arrow 51 . Empty zigzag storage structures 52 are used for loading or 53 removed from the respective cassettes and the empty cassettes, for example 49 or 50, conveyed in the direction of an arrow 54 in order to assume the positions of the full cassettes 40 or 41 which previously indicated in the direction of an arrow 54 on the position of the cassettes 42 or 43 have been promoted. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the conveyors 45 or 47 raise or lower cassettes onto the level 31 or lower them. The corresponding conveyors for the other levels 32 to 35 at the loading stations 15 to 18 are extended to the respective conveying height and from the conveying levels 31 to 35, cassettes are pivoted in the direction of the transport level by devices not shown here, as indicated in FIG. 1 around 90 °. An empty cassette is thus removed from the conveyor, for example according to FIG. 1 of the transport conveyor 24, and a full cassette is loaded for it, after which it advances one carriage length to the next position. Each lane on each level is controlled independently of one another via a so-called block point operation, as is also known, for example, from rail technology. This is possible if the individual rail sections are divided and insulated from one another so that they can be connected to an electrical network independently of one another. However, other control technologies, for example with different frequencies, can also be used within the scope of the invention in order to enable individual control, one conveying level not being allowed to interfere with the other.

Die Fig. 4 bis 7 zeigen den Aufbau einer Transportbahn in verschiedenen Ansichten. Gemäß Fig. 4 ist ein Kassetten aufnehmender Wagen 30 über ein Gestänge 55 gelenkig mit einem Triebkopf 28 verbunden. Auf den Wagen 30 können volle oder leere Kassetten (beispielsweise 56) positioniert werden, die den Kasseten 48 bis 50 bzw. den Kassetten 42 bis 44 entsprechen können. Die Wagen 30 sind mit Rollen 57 versehen, die auf Schienen 58 laufen, wie in Fig. 6 dargestellt ist. Fig. 6 stellt einen Schnitt entlang der Linie B-B der Fig. 4 dar. Während Fig. 5 den Triebkopf 28 vergrößert zeigt. Fig. 7 hingegen zeigt einen Schnitt entlang der Linie C-C der Fig. 5. Der Triebkopf 28 läuft mit seinen Rollen 59 ebenfalls auf den Schienen 58 und mit seinen Rollen 60 auf Schienen 61. Dabei übernehmen Führungsrollen 62 die Seitenführung an den Schienen 61. Der Antrieb erfolgt in vorteilhafter Weise durch einen Elektromotor 63 über Ritzel 64, ein Rad 65 und über ein mit einer Welle 66 verbundenes Stirnrad 67. Von dem Stirnrad 67 aus verläuft der Antrieb des weiteren über ein Ritzel 68 zu einem Stirnrad 69, das wiederum fest mit einem Kettenrad 70 verbunden ist. Die Welle 66 und das Kettenrad 70 sind in Lagerböcken 71, 72 und 73 gelagert.4 to 7 show the structure of a transport track in different views. 4, a cassette-receiving carriage 30 is connected in an articulated manner to a drive head 28 via a linkage 55. Full or empty cassettes (for example 56) can be positioned on the carriage 30, which cassettes can correspond to the cassettes 48 to 50 or the cassettes 42 to 44. The carriages 30 are provided with rollers 57 which run on rails 58, as shown in FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows a section along the line BB of FIG. 4. During FIG. 5 shows the power head 28 enlarged. 7, on the other hand, shows a section along the line CC of FIG. 5. The drive head 28 also runs with its rollers 59 on the rails 58 and with its rollers 60 on rails 61. Guide rollers 62 take over the lateral guidance on the rails 61 It is advantageously driven by an electric motor 63 via pinion 64, a wheel 65 and a spur gear 67 connected to a shaft 66. From the spur gear 67, the drive further runs via a pinion 68 to a spur gear 69, which in turn is fixed a sprocket 70 is connected. The shaft 66 and the sprocket 70 are supported in bearing blocks 71, 72 and 73.

Das Kettenrad 70 greift in eine fest verlegte, mit den Schienen 61 verschraubte Rollenkette 74 ein und treibt mit einer Drehung in Richtung des Pfeiles 75 einen Triebkopf 27 bzw. 28 und damit jeweils zugeordnete Bahn in Richtung eines Pfeiles 76.The sprocket 70 engages in a firmly installed roller chain 74 screwed to the rails 61 and drives a drive head 27 or 28 and thus respectively assigned path in the direction of an arrow 76 with a rotation in the direction of arrow 75.

Die Stromabnahme für den Elektromotor 63 erfolgt über Stromabnehmer 77 von einer Schleifleitung 78. Zur Oberbrückung der einzelnen voneinander getrennten bzw. isolierten Schienenabschnitte kann beispielsweise der Stromabnehmer gabelförmig ausgebildet sein, so daß den Transport von einem Block, d.h. von einem Schienenabschnitt zu einem anderen möglich ist.The current draw for the electric motor 63 takes place via current collectors 77 from a conductor line 78. To bridge the individual separated or insulated rail sections, for example, the current collector can be fork-shaped, so that the transport of one block, i.e. from one rail section to another is possible.

Durch diese Bauart kann die Bahn beliebige Entfernungen und Steigungen überwinden. Die Rollenkette 74 ist vorzugsweise als sogenannte "Seitenbogenrollenkette" ausgebildet und kann somit auch in Radien, also gekrümmt, verlegt werden. Die Schleifleitung ist in voneinander isolierte Abschnitte unterteilt, in die jeweils getrennt elektrisch eingespeist wird. Wie vorangehend erwähnt wurde, ist somit eine Steuerung der Bahnen bzw. Züge unabhängig voneinander in den einzelnen Abschnitten möglich. Durch die kompromierte Aufnahme von Druckexemplaren in den Speicherstrukturen 38, 39, die in der Patentanmeldung P 36 21 820, eingehend beschrieben wurden, wird einerseits eine hohe Bahngeschwindigkeit und andererseits große Transportgeschwindigkeiten bzw. Transportleistungen ermöglicht und zwar auch über weite Entfernungen.With this design, the railway can overcome any distances and inclines. The roller chain 74 is preferably designed as a so-called “side arc roller chain” and can therefore also be laid in radii, that is to say curved. The conductor rail is divided into sections that are insulated from each other, each of which is electrically fed separately. As mentioned above, it is thus possible to control the trains or trains independently of one another in the individual sections. The compromised inclusion of printed copies in the memory structures 38, 39, which were described in detail in the patent application P 36 21 820, makes on the one hand a high one Railway speed and, on the other hand, high transport speeds and transport capacities, even over long distances.

In den am gleichen Tag von der gleichen Anmelderin eingereichten PB 3445 und PB 3446 sind die Weiterverarbeitungsanlagen 19 bis 23 im einzelnen beschrieben.Further processing systems 19 to 23 are described in detail in the PB 3445 and PB 3446 filed on the same day by the same applicant.
