Abstract

The printing products (20) are transported in a shingled formation by means of a conveying apparatus past an ink jet printer (34'). A sensor (34, 35) triggers a printing operation of the ink jet printer when one printing product (20) has reached its printing range. In order that the printing products (20) can also be written on in a shingled formation conveyed in a free run, the conveying apparatus is provided in the region of the ink jet printer (34') with means (12) which laterally displace the printing products (20), arriving in a shingled formation, individually during the transport. <IMAGE>

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum exemplarweisen Beschriften, beispielsweise zum Adressie­ren, von in einem Schuppenstrom anfallenden Druckerei­produkten gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The present invention relates to a device for exemplary labeling, for example for addressing, of printing products occurring in a shingled stream according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine solche, zum Adressieren bestimmte Einrichtung ist aus der EP-PS 00 96 228 (weitgehend inhaltsgleich mit der US-PS 4 538 161) bekannt. Bei dieser Einrichtung ist die Fördervorrichtung ein mit Greifern bestückter Ein­zelförderer. Jeder Greifer befördert jeweils ein Drucke­reiprodukt, indem er dieses an seiner vorlaufenden Kante fasst. Die nachlaufende Kante gleitet dagegen auf einem Gleittisch, der im Bereich des Tintenstrahlschrei­bers angeordnet ist. Dieser Tintenstrahlschreiber weist mehrere Spritzköpfe auf, die von unten her auf die nachlaufenden Kanten des Druckereiproduktes gerichtet sind, welche Kanten seitlich über den Gleittisch vor­stehen. Der Tintenstrahlschreiber wird von Steuersig­nalen angesteuert, die von einem an den Einzelförderer gekoppelten Geber erzeugt werden, so dass u. a. die Schreibgeschwindigkeit des Tintenstrahlschreibers auf die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Einzelförderers abgestimmt ist. Ausserdem ist dem Einzelförderer ein Detektor zuge­ordnet, der auf vorbeilaufende, leere Greifer anspricht und dann das Steuersignal unterdrückt. Damit wird ver­mieden, dass im kontinuierlich über den Gleittisch glei­tenden Strom von Druckereiprodukten ein auf einen leeren Greifer folgendes Druckereiprodukt mit zwei Adressen be­ schriftet wird. Die Adressen werden übrigens aus einem den Tintenstrahlschreiber ebenfalls ansteuernden Adres­senspeicher abgerufen.Such a device intended for addressing is known from EP-PS 00 96 228 (largely identical in content to US Pat. No. 4,538,161). In this device, the conveyor is a single conveyor equipped with grippers. Each gripper conveys a printed product by gripping it by its leading edge. The trailing edge, on the other hand, slides on a sliding table which is arranged in the area of the inkjet pen. This ink jet recorder has several spray heads which are directed from below onto the trailing edges of the printed product, which edges protrude laterally over the sliding table. The ink jet recorder is controlled by control signals which are generated by an encoder coupled to the individual conveyor, so that, inter alia, the writing speed of the ink jet recorder is matched to the conveying speed of the individual conveyor. In addition, a detector is assigned to the individual conveyor, which responds to empty grippers passing by and then suppresses the control signal. This prevents a printed product with two addresses following an empty gripper from being in the stream of printed products continuously sliding over the sliding table is written. Incidentally, the addresses are retrieved from an address memory which also drives the ink jet recorder.

Diese bekannte Einrichtung hat sich insofern bewährt, als es nicht erforderlich ist, den anfallenden Strom von Druckereiprodukten soweit zu vereinzeln, dass Lücken zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Druckereiprodukten ent­stehen, welche Lücken z.B. fotoelektrisch abgetastet werden, um dann den Beginn eines weiteren Beschrif­tungsvorganges auszulösen. Dies ist bei der "Videojet-­Mailer" genannten Einrichtung der Fall, die von der A.B. Dick Company, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, vertrieben wird. Dabei ist zu beachten, dass eine Vereinzelung und die damit notwendigerweise einhergehende Erhöhung der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Druckereiprodukte nicht nur etwa deswegen unerwünscht ist, weil die mögliche Schreibgeschwindigkeit des Tintenstrahlschreibers der erhöhten Fördergeschwindikgeit nicht gewachsen ist, sondern auch deswegen, weil nach einer Vereinzelung die Druckereiprodukte für die weitere Verarbeitung im all­gemeinen wieder in eine geschuppte Formation zu über­führen sind, und weil eine Vereinzelung des gesamten Ausstosses einer modernen Druckereipresse zu so hohen Fördergeschwindigkeiten führen würde, die vergleichs­weise schwer zu beherrschen und mit dem Risiko der Beschädigung der einzelnen Druckereiprodukte behaftet sind.This known device has proven itself insofar as it is not necessary to isolate the resulting flow of printed products to such an extent that gaps arise between successive printed products, which gaps e.g. be scanned photoelectrically in order to then trigger the start of a further labeling process. This is the case with the facility called "Videojet Mailer", which is operated by A.B. Dick Company, Elk Grove Village, Illinois. It should be noted that a separation and the associated increase in the conveying speed of the printed products is undesirable not only because the possible writing speed of the ink jet recorder is not able to cope with the increased conveying speed, but also because after being separated the printed products for the further processing is generally to be converted back into a shingled formation, and because a separation of the entire output of a modern printing press would lead to such high conveying speeds that are comparatively difficult to master and entail the risk of damage to the individual printing products.

Die eingangs genannte, bekannte Einrichtung ist auch nicht dazu geeignet, in einem Schuppenstrom in freier Auflage anfallende Exemplare zu beschriften, weil ein wesentlicher Teil der Steuerung des Tintenstrahl­ schreibers vom Vorhandensein eines beladenen Greifers des Einzelförderers abhängig ist.The known device mentioned at the outset is also not suitable for labeling copies which occur in a shed stream in free circulation because an essential part of the control of the ink jet writer is dependent on the presence of a loaded gripper of the single conveyor.

Es ist daher eine Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Einrich­tung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die auch geeignet ist, im Schuppenstrom in freier Auflage anfal­lende Druckereiprodukte zu beschriften, ohne diese aus dem Schuppenstrom zu vereinzeln.It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is also suitable for labeling printed products obtained in the shed stream in free circulation without separating them from the shed stream.

Zu diesem Zweck weist die vorgeschlagene Einrichtung die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 umschriebenen Merkmale auf.For this purpose, the proposed device has the features described in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die seitliche Verschiebung der Druckereiprodukte legt exemplarweise einen seitlichen Rand jedes einzelnen Produktes über seine ganze Länge (in Förderrichtung gesehen) frei und dies während einer für die Beschrif­tung mit dem Tintenstrahlschreiber ausreichenden Zeit.The lateral shifting of the printed products exposes, for example, a lateral edge of each individual product over its entire length (viewed in the direction of conveyance) and this for a sufficient time for the labeling with the ink jet recorder.

Diese Beschriftung längs des unbedruckten Seitenrandes der Druckereiprodukte ermöglicht es auch, dem Wunsch vieler Druckereien nachzukommen, der dahin zielt, die Zeitungen am Seitenrand mit Einzeladressen auf einer einzigen, in mehrere Abschnitte unterteilten Zeile zu beschriften.This labeling along the unprinted page margin of the printed products also makes it possible to fulfill the wish of many printing companies, which aims to label the newspapers on the page margin with individual addresses on a single line divided into several sections.

Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der vorgeschlagenen Ein­richtung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen umschrieben.Preferred embodiments of the proposed device are described in the dependent claims.

Nachstehend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeitung näher beschrieben. Es zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine sehr schematisierte Draufsicht auf eine erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung, und
  • Fig. 2 eine weiter vereinfachte Seitenansicht in Richtung des Pfeiles II der Fig. 1 der Ein­richtung.
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below on the basis of the newspaper. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 is a very schematic plan view of a device according to the invention, and
  • Fig. 2 is a further simplified side view in the direction of arrow II of Fig. 1 of the device.

Die dargestellte Einrichtung 10 besitzt eine Fördervor­richtung, die ein erstes Förderband 11 aufweist, eine daran anschliessende Walzenbahn 12 mit beispielsweise drei angetriebenen Walzen 13, 14 und 15, und an die Walzenbahn 12 anschliessend ein zweites Förderband 16. Die Förderrichtung des Förderbandes 11 ist mit dem Pfeil 17, jene der Walzenbahn 12 mit dem Pfeil 18 und jene des Förderbandes 16 mit dem Pfeil 19 angegeben.The device 10 shown has a conveyor device which has a first conveyor belt 11, a roller conveyor 12 adjoining it with, for example, three driven rollers 13, 14 and 15, and a second conveyor belt 16 connected to the roller conveyor 12. The conveying direction of the conveyor belt 11 is in line with the Arrow 17, that of the roller track 12 with the arrow 18 and that of the conveyor belt 16 with the arrow 19.

Die so aufgebaute Fördervorrichtung dient zum Transport von in einem Schuppenstrom S anfallenden Zeitungen 20, die - wie üblich - mit vorlaufendem und die nachfolgende Kante der vorangehenden Zeitung überlappendem Falz oder Bund transportiert werden.The conveyor device constructed in this way is used to transport newspapers 20 which are produced in a shingled stream S and which, as usual, are transported with a leading fold or bundle overlapping the leading edge of the preceding newspaper.

Dem Endbereich des Förderbandes 11 ist ein Paar bei­spielsweise frei drehbar gelagerte Anpressrollen 21, 22 zugeordnet, die dafür sorgen, dass die geförderten Zei­tungen 20 die Förderrichtung 17 selbst dann beibehalten, wenn ihr vorlaufender Falz das Förderband 11 bereits verlassen hat.The end region of the conveyor belt 11 is assigned a pair of, for example, freely rotatable pressure rollers 21, 22, which ensure that the conveyed newspapers 20 maintain the conveying direction 17 even when their leading fold has already left the conveyor belt 11.

Die Walzen 13 bis 15 der Walzenbahn 12 beziehen ihren Antrieb von der letzten Umlenkwalze 23 der Förderbandes 11, beispielsweise über ein Winkelgetriebe 24, einen Kettentrieb 25 und ein weiteres Winkelgetriebe 26, wobei die Walzen 13 bis 15 mittels weiteren Kettentrieben 27 und 28 aneinander gekoppelt sind. Der Walze 13 ist hier beispielsweise eine zu dieser parallelachsige Anpress­rolle 29 zugeordnet, deren Abstand von der Anpressrolle 22 etwa der in Richtung 17 gemessenen Abmessung einer Zeitung 20 entspricht. Damit wird jeder, die Anpress­rollen 21, 22 verlassenden Zeitung 20 sofort die Förder­richtung 18 der Walzenbahn 12 aufgezwungen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, das Uebersetzungsverhältnis des zu den Wal­zen 13 bis 15 führenden Antriebes so zu wählen, dass die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Walzenbahn 12 eine Komponente aufweist, die gleich gross und parallel zur Förderge­schwindigkeit des Förderbandes 11 ist. Damit kann die seitliche Verschiebung des Exemplares möglichst ruckfrei geschehen.The rollers 13 to 15 of the roller track 12 receive their drive from the last deflecting roller 23 of the conveyor belt 11, for example via an angular gear 24, a chain drive 25 and a further angular gear 26, the rollers 13 to 15 using further chain drives 27 and 28 are coupled together. The roller 13 is here assigned, for example, a pressure roller 29 which is parallel to this and whose distance from the pressure roller 22 corresponds approximately to the dimension of a newspaper 20 measured in the direction 17. Thus, each newspaper 20 leaving the pressure rollers 21, 22 is immediately forced the conveying direction 18 of the roller conveyor 12. It is advantageous to choose the transmission ratio of the drive leading to the rollers 13 to 15 such that the conveying speed of the roller track 12 has a component which is the same size and parallel to the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 11. This allows the specimen to be moved laterally without jerking.

Dem Ende der Walzenbahn 12 ist eine seitliche Anschlags­schiene 30 zugeordnet, die die von der Walzenbahn 12 schräg transportierten Zeitungen 20 nach ihrer in För­derrichtung gesehen linken Seitenkante ausrichtet. Diese Anschlagschiene ist parallel zur Förderrichtung 19 des Förderbandes 16. Im Bereich der Anschlagschiene 30 sind im vorliegenden Beispiel drei Schreibköpfe 31, 32 und 33 eines Tintenstrahlschreibers 34′ montiert. Dieser Tin­tenstrahlschreiber 34′ kann im wesentlichen einem Schrei­ber entsprechen, wie er unter dem Namen "Videojet Serie 9400" von der genannten Firma A.B. Dick vertrieben wird. Ein Schreibvorgang des Tintenstrahlschreibers 34′ wird durch einen Sensor, hier beispielsweise einer Licht­schranke bestehend aus Lichtquelle 34 und Lichtempfänger 35 ausgelöst. Dieser Sensor steuert über eine Zentral­einheit 36 die Schreibköpfe 31, 32, 33 über individuelle Steuereinheiten 37, 38 und 39 an. Diese Steuereinheiten sind an einen eingebauten oder auch externen Adressen­ speicher 40 angeschlossen.A side stop rail 30 is assigned to the end of the roller track 12, which aligns the newspapers 20, which are transported obliquely by the roller track 12, according to their left side edge, as seen in the conveying direction. This stop rail is parallel to the conveying direction 19 of the conveyor belt 16. In the area of the stop rail 30, three write heads 31, 32 and 33 of an ink jet recorder 34 'are mounted in the present example. This ink jet recorder 34 'can essentially correspond to a recorder as it is sold under the name "Videojet Series 9400" by the company AB Dick mentioned. A write operation of the ink jet recorder 34 'is triggered by a sensor, here for example a light barrier consisting of light source 34 and light receiver 35. This sensor controls the write heads 31, 32, 33 via individual control units 37, 38 and 39 via a central unit 36. These control units are at a built-in or external address memory 40 connected.

Sobald also die nachlaufende, linke Ecke einer Zeitung 20 die Lichtschranke 34, 35 unterbricht, wird ein Schreibvorgang ausgelöst, derweil die vorlaufende Kante der Zeitung bereits in den Spalt zwischen dem Anfang des Förderbandes 16 und diesem zugordneten Anpressrollen 41, 42 eingedrungen ist, also zwangsläufig in Richtung 19 weiter transportiert wird. Für jeden der Schreibköpfe beginnt der Schreibvorgang zweckmässig gleichzeitig.As soon as the trailing, left corner of a newspaper 20 interrupts the light barrier 34, 35, a writing process is triggered, meanwhile the leading edge of the newspaper has already penetrated into the gap between the beginning of the conveyor belt 16 and the pressure rollers 41, 42 assigned to it, inevitably is transported in the direction of 19. For each of the print heads, the writing process expediently begins at the same time.

Die Zeitungen die den Bereich der Anschlagschiene 30 bzw. der Schreibköpfe 31 bis 33 verlassen und wiederum in Schuppenformation auf dem Förderband 16 weitertrans­portiert werden, sind auf dem freien, in Förderrichtung 19 gesehen links erscheinenden Rand mit einer Beschrif­tung, beispielsweise einer Adresse 43 versehen, wobei beispielsweise der Schreibkopf 31 nur den Namen, der Schreibkopf 32 nur die Strassenbezeichnung und der Schreibkopf 33 nur die Ortsbezeichnung der Adresse schreibt.The newspapers which leave the area of the stop rail 30 or the print heads 31 to 33 and are again transported in scale form on the conveyor belt 16 are provided with a label, for example an address 43, on the free edge which appears to the left in the direction of conveyance 19, whereby for example, the write head 31 only writes the name, the write head 32 only the street name and the write head 33 only the place name of the address.

Selbst wenn im zugeführten Schuppenstrom eine Leerstelle auftreten sollte, sind Beschriftungen "ins Leere" oder "Doppelbeschriftungen" ausgeschlossen, weil die exem­plarweise, seitliche Verschiebung gewissermassen einer Teilvereinzelung gleichkommt, und jedes Exemplar den für sich bestimmten Schreibvorgang selbst auslöst.Even if there is an empty space in the inlaid stream of shingles, inscriptions "into the void" or "double inscriptions" are excluded because the exemplary, lateral shift is equivalent to a partial separation, and each copy triggers the writing process that is intended for itself.
