Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for transporting, in particular multi-leaf and folded, printed products according to the preamble of claims 1 and 10, respectively.
  • Such a device for transporting folded printed sheets resulting in a scale formation is known from DE-OS 33 35 140 or the corresponding US Pat. No. 4,566,582.
  • This has a belt conveyor leading past a branch point and, seen in the conveying direction of the belt conveyor, a path conveyor arranged downstream of the branch point and arranged coplanarly next to the belt conveyor with a path of conveyance parallel to the conveying direction.
  • a branching device is provided at the branching point in order to feed part of the scale formation supplied by the belt conveyor to the removal conveyor. The other part of the scale formation is led past the branch point unchanged by means of the belt conveyor.
  • each printed sheet lies on the leading one, the leading edges of the printed sheets run at right angles to the conveying direction and the side edges are aligned with one another.
  • the branching device has two, at the free end of a boom which can be pivoted about a vertical axis, rotatably driven rollers which delimit a conveying gap which is effective in the diagonal direction of the supplied printed sheets, the component running parallel to the conveying direction of the belt conveyor the peripheral speed of these rollers is at least equal to the conveying speed of the belt conveyor.
  • a shaft is pivotally mounted, which carries at its free end a flap, which is the upstream of the lower roller, seen in the conveying direction.
  • the delivery arm is pivoted and lowered against the belt conveyor, so that the tongue dips between two superimposed printed sheets of the scale formation and the printed sheet lying on the tongue and the print sheet following it in the conveying direction is delimited by the rollers Feed gap feeds.
  • the rollers act on the printed sheets in a straight line passing through the center of gravity of the printed sheets.
  • the supplied scale formation on the belt conveyor is laterally offset in the direction towards the branching device, so that a relatively wide lateral edge region of the scale formation protrudes above the belt conveyor.
  • the printed sheets detected by the branching device are pushed onto the conveyor to form a new scale formation which corresponds exactly to the supplied scale formation.
  • the boom is pivoted away from the edge area of the supplied scale formation by the belt conveyor, taking the last printed sheet supplied to the conveying gap with it.
  • various measures have to be taken in order to allow detection of the printed sheets to be fed to the conveyor. So the scale formation must be laterally offset on the belt conveyor.
  • the branching device is complicated, but it must be raised and lowered, pivotable about the vertical axis and displaceable in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction.
  • printed products are drawn off from a stack by means of a perforated belt conveyor in such a way that they form a scale formation on the perforated belt in which the edges of the printed products run obliquely to the direction of rotation of the perforated belt.
  • a belt conveyor Connected to the perforated belt conveyor is a belt conveyor, the conveying direction of which runs obliquely to the direction of rotation and parallel to the edges of the printed products.
  • a deflection belt Arranged on the side of the belt conveyor opposite the perforated belt conveyor is a deflection belt which is guided around stationary, rotatably mounted rollers and is driven in the conveying direction and against which all printed products fed from the perforated belt conveyor strike with the corresponding leading edge in order to be deflected in the conveying direction.
  • the printed products are forwarded in a branching direction, which is approximately the inclination of the supplied printed products corresponds.
  • the edges of the branched printing products thus run essentially parallel or perpendicular to the branching direction, which enables a particularly simple branching and guiding of these printing products in the region of the branching point. If printed products are removed section by section from the supplied scale formation while maintaining their position with respect to the feed direction, they form a scale formation with forward leading edges and side edges aligned at right angles to the branch direction when forwarding in the branch direction, which is advantageous for certain further processing operations.
  • a scale formation can be formed by appropriately aligning the removal direction of this removal conveyor, in which the side edges of the printed products can practically take any angle with respect to the removal direction.
  • the transport device shown in Figure 1 has a belt conveyor 10 which passes straight past two branch points 12, 12 '. At the branch points 12, 12 'lead away from the belt conveyor 10 away conveyors 14, 14', the direction of away W runs obliquely to the conveying direction F of the belt conveyor 10. In the example shown, the angle between the conveying direction F and the away conveying direction W is 45 °.
  • each printed product 18 rests on the leading one.
  • These printed products 18 are inclined by 45 ° with respect to the conveying direction F.
