Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine steuerbare Weiche in einer Papiertransporteinrichtung insbesondere einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a controllable diverter in a paper transport device, in particular a web-fed rotary printing press, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Steuerbare Weichen in einer Papiertransportrichtung einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine sind durch die DE-PS 6 78 472 bekannt geworden.Controllable switches in a paper transport direction of a web-fed rotary printing press have become known from DE-PS 6 78 472.

Die DE-OS 22 33 750 zeigt eine im Takt steuerbare Weiche im Ausgang eines Falzapparates einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine. Außerdem ist aus dieser Druckschrift ein typisches Bändertransportsystem zu entnehmen, das zeigt wie bedruckte, gefalzte Signaturen zwischen Bändern von einem Ort zu einem zweiten transportiert werden.DE-OS 22 33 750 shows a switch controllable in time in the output of a folder of a web-fed rotary printing press. This document also shows a typical tape transport system that shows how printed, folded signatures are transported between tapes from one place to a second.

Durch die EP-A-00 84 931 ist eine steuerbare Weiche bekanntgeworden, die in einer Endstellung des Weichensegmentes einen spitzen Winkel mit dem Förderband bildet. Jedoch laufen bei dieser Weiche die Signaturen auf die spitze Seite des Weichensegmentes auf.EP-A-00 84 931 has disclosed a controllable switch which forms an acute angle with the conveyor belt in an end position of the switch segment. However, with this switch the signatures run on the tip side of the switch segment.

Nun haben sich die Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten bei Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen, insbesondere bei Tiefdruckrotationsdruckmaschinen, in den letzten Jahren dramatisch erhöht. 120 000 Signaturen/Std. und Falzapparat sind heute möglich, die Tendenz ist steigend.Production speeds for web-fed rotary printing presses, especially rotogravure printing presses, have increased dramatically in recent years. 120,000 signatures / hour and folder are possible today, the trend is increasing.

Die Weichen müssen 60 000 Richtungswechsel pro Stunde, das sind mehr als 16 Mal pro Sekunde umschalten. Bedingt durch die hohe Produktionsgeschwindigkeit und z. B. mineralisierte Zusätze im Papier sind die Standzeit-Perioden natürlich auch kürzer geworden. Die Abnutzung bewirkt u. U. Produktionsstörungen, aber auch Maschinenstillstände, die notwendig werden, wenn die verschlissenen Weichensegmente ausgewechselt werden.The switches have to switch 60,000 changes of direction per hour, which is more than 16 times per second. Due to the high production speed and z. B. mineralized additives in paper, the service life periods have of course also become shorter. The Wear causes u. U. production disruptions, but also machine downtimes that are necessary when the worn switch segments are replaced.

Die bisher verwendeten Weichensegmente sind dadurch charakterisiert, daß die umzuleitenden Signaturen gegen eine flachgestreckte, relativ dünne Spitze des Weichensegments anlaufen und diese Spitze durch Materialabtrag schnell schwächen.The switch segments previously used are characterized in that the signatures to be diverted run up against a flat, relatively thin tip of the switch segment and quickly weaken this tip by material removal.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Weichensegment als Bestandteil einer Weiche in einer Signaturentransporteinrichtung einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine, im speziellen, einen Falzapparat zu schaffen, mit dem auch bei hoher Produktionsgeschwindigkeit eine lange Standzeit in bezug auf Verschleiß erreicht werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a switch segment as part of a switch in a signature transport device of a web-fed rotary printing press, in particular, a folder with which a long service life with respect to wear can be achieved even at high production speeds.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the subject matter of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß außer dem Vermeiden der o. g. Nachteile des Standes der Technik, die Auftreffstelle der Signaturen nicht auf den Schenkeln der dünnen, flachgezogenen Spitze des Weichensegmentes liegt. Der Kraftangriffspunkt zur Steuerung des Weichensegments muß nicht im der Spitze des Weichensegments gegenüberliegenden Ende liegen, daher ist ein kleineres Antriebsmoment notwendig. Das Weichensegment kann kürzerer Bauart sein im Vergleich zu flachgezogenen Weichensegmenten, so daß die Wegstrecke, über welche Signaturen ohne doppelte Bänderführung gefördert werden, kürzer wird. Zumindest für einen Weichenweg kann der Signatureinlauf zwischen Förderband und Weichensegment anfangs trichterförmig gestaltet werden. Die Weichensegmente können, da sie dicker gestaltet werden, an einem oder beiden Enden kammartig gestaltet werden, so daß im Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Zinken des Weichensegments das oder die Förderbänder und/oder Führungsrollen laufen können. Hierdurch wird erreicht, daß die oberen und unteren Förderbänder im Weichensegmentbereich enger zusammen laufen können. Das ermöglicht ebenfalls eine gedrungenere Bauweise der gesamten Weiche und somit kurze Umlenkwege ohne doppelte Förderbandführung.The advantages achievable with the invention consist in particular in that, besides avoiding the above-mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, the point of impact of the signatures is not on the legs of the thin, flat-drawn tip of the switch segment. The point of application of force for controlling the switch segment does not have to be in the end opposite the tip of the switch segment, so a smaller drive torque is necessary. The turnout segment can be of shorter construction compared to flat-drawn turnout segments, so that the distance over which signatures without double tape guidance be promoted, becomes shorter. At least for one turnout, the signature inlet between the conveyor belt and the turnout segment can initially be funnel-shaped. The switch segments, since they are made thicker, can be made comb-like at one or both ends, so that the conveyor belt and / or guide rollers can run in the space between two prongs of the switch segment. This ensures that the upper and lower conveyor belts can run closer together in the switch segment area. This also enables a more compact construction of the entire turnout and thus short deflection paths without double conveyor belt guidance.

Das Transportieren von Signaturen 1 in Falzapparaten mittels sychron angetriebener, mehrerer jeweils im Abstand nebeneinander liegender oberer und unterer Förderbänder 2;3 ist allgemein bekannt geworden, z. B. durch die DE-PS 27 23 358.
Die Signaturen 1 werden entlang einem ersten Förderweg 5 zwischen den oberen und unteren Forderbändern 2 und 3 "eingeklemmt" und so transportiert. Sie dürfen auf ihrem Weg zwischen den oberen und unteren Förderbändern 2 und 3 möglichst nicht verrutschen.
Die oberen Förderbänder 2 laufen u. a. über die oberen Bänderführungsrollen 4 und 6, die in bekannter Weise an Querträgern an den Seitengestellen z. B. eines Falzapparates befestigt sind und auf unteren Förderbändern 9 eines zweiten Förderweges 11 aufliegen. Die unteren Förderbänder 3 laufen u. a. z. B. über die unteren Bänderführungsrollen 7 und 8, die bekannterweise an unteren Querträgern zwischen den Seitengestellen befestigt sind und auf unteren Förderbändern 9 eines dritten Förderweges 12 aufliegen.
Untere Förderbänder 3 und obere Förderbänder 2 verlassen unmittelbar nach den Bänderführungsrollen 4 ihren gemeinsamen Förderweg 5 und bilden zwischen sich einen spitzwinkligen Raum 13, in dem ein Weichensegment 14 einer Weiche 16 zum Umlenken von Druckprodukten z. B. Signaturen 1 Platz findet.
Den Bänderführungsrollen 6 sind Umlenkrollen 17 so zugeordnet, daß die sie berührenden Förderbänder 9 mit den oberen Förderbändern 2 jeweils einen oberen Einlaufzwickel 18 für die Signaturen 1 des zweiten Förderweges 11 bilden. Den Bänderführungsrollen 7 und 4 sind die Bänderführungsrolle 8 und eine Umlenkrolle 21 so zugeordnet, daß die Förderbänder 3 und 10 einen unteren Einlaufzwickel 22 für die Signaturen 1 des dritten Förderweges 12 bilden.
Das Weichensegment 14 weist eine obere Leitfläche 23, eine untere Leitfläche 24, eine untere Auflauffläche 26, eine linke Stirnfläche 27, eine rechte Stirnfläche 28, eine vordere und eine hintere Seitenfläche 29,31 auf.
Die oberen und unteren Leitflächen 23 und 24 sind an die Verlaufsform des Förderweges 11 ,12 der ihnen jeweils zugeordneten oberen bzw. unteren Förderbänder 2 bzw. 3 entweder total oder annähernd angepaßt. Im Ausführungsbeispiel verläuft z. B. die obere Leitfläche 23 geradlinig (plan), die untere Leitfläche 24 im ersten Abschnitt der Auflauffläche 26 geradlinig und anschließend kurvenförmig (konkav). Andere Kombinationen von Formen der Leitflächen sind natürlich möglich, z. B. konvex. Eine Schwenkachse 32 des Segments liegt außerhalb des Umrisses der Querschnitte des Weichensegments 14; d. h. im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 oberhalb der oberen Leitfläche 23 und im mittleren Drittel der Breite c des Weichensegments 14. Die Dicke d1 eines ersten Endes 19 des Weichensegments 14 mit der Stirnfläche 27, die dem Einlauf der Signaturen 1 im Weichenraum 13 zugewandt ist, im Ausführungsbeispiel die linke Stirnfläche 27 (Weicheneingang), kann gleich oder ein Mehrfaches der Dicke d2 des zweiten Endes 20 des Weichensegments 14 und der rechten Stirnfläche 28 sein, welche den Einlaufszwickeln 18 und 22 der nachfolgenden Förderwege 11 und 12 gegenüberliegt. Über seine Länge zwischen den Seitengestellen ist das Weichensegment 14 auf ihrem ersten 19 und falls notwendig auch auf ihrem zweiten Ende 20 mit Zwischenräumen zwischen den Zinken 33 bzw. 36 (zahnartigen Vorsprüngen), kammartig gestaltet, d. h. es weist eine Mehrzahl von breiten Zinken 33;36 auf. Die Zinken 33;36 dienen zur Richtungsumlenkung der Signaturen 1 und weisen Teilflächen der oben genannten Flächen 23, 26, 27, 28 auf. Durch Zwischenräume 34,35 zwischen den Zinken 33 bzw. 36 laufen Förderbänder, z. B. das untere Förderband 3 bzw. 9,10. Durch die Anordnung der Zwischenräume 34 zwischen den Zinken 33 ist es in vorteilhafter Weise möglich, jeweils den Auflaufwinkel α; β, unter dem die Signaturen 1 auf die - je nach Weichenstellung - beteiligte Fläche z. B. 23 oder 26 auflaufen, für ein günstiges Auftreten zu gestalten. Auflauflaufwinkel ist der spitze Winkel, unter dem eine Verlängerung der oberen Leitfläche 23 eine Ebene entlang der Oberfläche des unteren Förderbandes 3 schneidet, wenn das Weichensegment 14 eine erste Weichenendstellung erreicht hat (Fig. 1); im Beispiel sind also die Förderwege 5 und 11 verbunden. Der Auflaufwinkel β ist der spitze Winkel, unter dem eine Verlängerung der Auflauffläche 26 oder diese selbst eine gedachte Ebene entlang der transportierenden Fläche des Förderbandes 3 schneidet, wenn das Weichensegment 14 eine zweite Weichenendstellung (Fig.2) erreicht hat; im Beispiel also die Förderwege 5 und 12 verbindet.Die Auflauffläche 26 kann vorteilhafterweise mit der Stirnfläche 27 einen großen Winkel bilden.
Das Weichensegment 14 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Breite der Förderstrecke der Signaturen 1 und ist mit ihren Enden mit je einem Lagerzapfen stoffschlüssig verbunden. Die Lagerzapfen sind in Seitengestellen gelagert. Ein Lagerzapfen ist z. B. mit einem Schubkurbelgetriebe verbunden, das mit einem synchron zur Hauptmaschine laufenden Antrieb formschlüssig verbunden ist.
The transportation of signatures 1 in folders by means of synchronously driven, several upper and lower conveyor belts 2; B. by DE-PS 27 23 358.
The signatures 1 are "clamped" along a first conveyor path 5 between the upper and lower conveyor belts 2 and 3 and are thus transported. As far as possible, they must not slip on their way between the upper and lower conveyor belts 2 and 3.
The upper conveyor belts 2 run, inter alia, over the upper belt guide rollers 4 and 6, which in a known manner on cross members on the side frames z. B. a folder are attached and rest on lower conveyor belts 9 of a second conveyor 11. The lower conveyor belts 3 run, for example, over the lower belt guide rollers 7 and 8, which are known to be fastened to lower cross members between the side frames and rest on lower conveyor belts 9 of a third conveyor path 12.
Lower conveyor belts 3 and upper conveyor belts 2 leave their common conveyor path 5 immediately after the belt guide rollers 4 and form an acute-angled space 13 between them, in which a switch segment 14 of a switch 16 for deflecting printed products z. B. Signatures 1 place.
The belt guide rollers 6 are assigned deflection rollers 17 so that the conveyor belts 9 touching them form an upper inlet gusset 18 for the signatures 1 of the second conveyor path 11 with the upper conveyor belts 2. The tape guide rollers 7 and 4, the belt guide roller 8 and a deflecting roller 21 are assigned so that the conveyor belts 3 and 10 form a lower inlet gusset 22 for the signatures 1 of the third conveyor path 12.
The switch segment 14 has an upper guide surface 23, a lower guide surface 24, a lower ramp surface 26, a left end surface 27, a right end surface 28, a front and a rear side surface 29, 31.
The upper and lower guide surfaces 23 and 24 are either totally or approximately adapted to the shape of the conveying path 11, 12 of the upper and lower conveyor belts 2 and 3 respectively assigned to them. In the embodiment, z. B. the upper guide surface 23 in a straight line (flat), the lower guide surface 24 in the first section of the run-up surface 26 straight and then curved (concave). Other combinations of shapes of the guide surfaces are of course possible, e.g. B. convex. A pivot axis 32 of the segment lies outside the outline of the cross sections of the switch segment 14; 1 above the upper guide surface 23 and in the middle third of the width c of the switch segment 14. The thickness d1 of a first end 19 of the switch segment 14 with the end face 27, which faces the inlet of the signatures 1 in the switch space 13, in the exemplary embodiment, the left end face 27 (turnout input) can be equal to or a multiple of the thickness d2 of the second end 20 of the turnout segment 14 and the right end face 28, which lies opposite the inlet gussets 18 and 22 of the subsequent conveying paths 11 and 12. Over its length between the side frames, the switch segment 14 is on its first 19 and if necessary also on its second end 20 with spaces between the prongs 33 or 36 (tooth-like projections), designed like a comb, ie it has a plurality of wide tines 33; 36. The tines 33; 36 serve to deflect the direction of the signatures 1 and have partial areas of the above-mentioned areas 23, 26, 27, 28. Conveyor belts run through spaces 34, 35 between the prongs 33 and 36, e.g. B. the lower conveyor belt 3 or 9.10. The arrangement of the intermediate spaces 34 between the tines 33 makes it possible in an advantageous manner to in each case the run-up angle α; β, under which the signatures 1 on the - depending on the course - involved area z. B. 23 or 26 accumulate to make for a favorable appearance. Run-up angle is the acute angle at which an extension of the upper guide surface 23 intersects a plane along the surface of the lower conveyor belt 3 when the switch segment 14 has reached a first switch end position (FIG. 1); in the example, the funding routes 5 and 11 are connected. The run-up angle β is the acute angle at which an extension of the run-up surface 26 or this intersects an imaginary plane along the transporting surface of the conveyor belt 3 when the turnout segment 14 has reached a second turnout end position (FIG. 2); in the example thus connects the conveying paths 5 and 12. The run-up surface 26 can advantageously form a large angle with the end surface 27.
The switch segment 14 extends over the entire width of the conveying path of the signatures 1 and is connected to its ends with a bearing journal in a materially bonded manner. The trunnions are stored in side frames. A journal is e.g. B. connected to a sliding crank gear, which is positively connected to a drive running synchronously with the main machine.
