Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Schaufelradausleger mit formatabhängig einstellbaren seitlichen Falzproduktführungen.The invention relates to a bucket wheel boom with side fold product guides that can be adjusted depending on the format.

Aus der EP-OS 0 340 434 ist ein Schaufelradausleger bekannt, bei dem eine oder mehrere Bremszungen, welche in die Zwischenräume zwischen den einzelnen Schaufelradscheiben eingefahren sind, die Falzexemplare beim Eintritt in die Schaufelradtaschen abbremsen. Eine axiale Verschiebbarkeit der Bremszungen ist nicht offenbart.From EP-OS 0 340 434 a bucket wheel boom is known in which one or more brake tongues, which are inserted into the spaces between the individual bucket wheel disks, brake the folded copies when they enter the bucket wheel pockets. Axial displaceability of the brake tongues is not disclosed.

Die US-PS 4,522,387 zeigt ein Schaufelrad, bei dem einzelne Schaufelradscheiben versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind und dem Abbau von kinetischer Energie beim Transport von Bögen dienen. Die mit hoher Geschwindigkeit in die Schlitze zwischen den Schaufelradscheiben einlaufenden Falzexemplare werden durch Reibung und Deformationen abgebremst. Da die in die Schlitze zwischen den Schaufelradscheiben einlaufenen Falzexemplare unterschiedlich deformiert werden, ergeben sich daraus auch unterschiedliche Abstände der Seitenkanten der Falzexemplare zueinander.
Dies sieht bei der Auslage der Falzexemplare erstens unschön aus und erschwert zweitens eine lagegenaue Weiterverarbeitung, beispielsweise das Heften der Falzexemplare. Eine lagegenaue Auslage der Falzexemplare wäre nur durch eine zusätzliche und aufwendige Rüttelvorrichtung erzielbar, die zwischen den Auslagebändern einzubauen wäre. Dies erfordert teure Aufstellfläche und sollte möglichst vermieden werden.US Pat. No. 4,522,387 shows a paddle wheel in which individual paddle wheel disks are offset from one another and serve to dissipate kinetic energy during the transport of sheets. The folded copies entering the slots between the paddlewheel disks are slowed down by friction and deformation. Since the folded copies entering the slots between the paddlewheel disks are deformed differently, this also results in different distances between the side edges of the folded copies.
On the one hand, this looks unattractive when the folded copies are displayed and, on the other hand, it complicates further precise processing, for example stapling the folded copies. A precise display of the folded copies could only be achieved by an additional and complex vibrating device, which would have to be installed between the delivery belts. This requires expensive installation space and should be avoided if possible.

Den aufgezeigten Nachteilen des Standes der Technik wird durch die Erfindung abgeholfen. Der Erfindung liegt das Ziel zugrunde, einen Schaufelradausleger so zu verbessern, daß auf diesem bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten unterschiedliche Falzproduktformate mit hoher Auslagegenauigkeit verarbeitet werden können.The disadvantages of the prior art shown are remedied by the invention. The invention has for its object to improve a bucket wheel boom so that different at high speeds Folded product formats can be processed with high delivery accuracy.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird dadurch gelöst, daß ein Schaufelradausleger in einer Rotationsdruckmaschine vorgesehen ist, welcher die folgenden Merkmale aufweist:

  • auf einer Antriebswelle sind Schaufelradscheiben nebeneinander angeordnet,
  • im Bereich zwischen den Schaufelradscheiben sind verstellbare Falzproduktführungen angebracht,
  • die verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen sind mit bogenförmig geformten Ausnehmungen versehen,
  • es ist eine Einrichtung vorgesehen zum Verstellen mindestens einiger der Falzproduktführungen hinsichtlich der Schaufelradscheiben zum Ändern der Falzexemplarformate je nach Abmessung der Falzexemplare.
The object of the invention is achieved in that a bucket wheel boom is provided in a rotary printing press, which has the following features:
  • Paddle wheel disks are arranged side by side on a drive shaft,
  • adjustable folding product guides are attached in the area between the paddle wheel disks,
  • the adjustable folding product guides are provided with curved recesses,
  • a device is provided for adjusting at least some of the folded product guides with respect to the paddle wheel disks for changing the fold copy formats depending on the dimensions of the fold copies.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist die Verstelleinrichtung ferngesteuert bedienbar.According to a further feature of the invention, the adjustment device can be operated remotely.

Von Vorteil bei dieser Lösung ist die Erweiterung der seitlichen Führbarkeit der auszulegenden Falzprodukte. Je nach Format der auszulegenden Falzprodukte können die Falzproduktführungen präzise an die Seitenkanten der Falzprodukte angestellt werden und gewährleisten eine hohe Genauigkeit bei der Auslage der Falzprodukte, selbst bei hohen Maschinengeschwindigkeiten. Die Fernsteuerbarkeit der seitlichen Falzproduktführungen erlaubt eine weitere Automatisierung im Falzapparat, sowie eine Fernbedienung von der zentralen Steuerung der Druckmaschine.The advantage of this solution is the expansion of the lateral maneuverability of the folded products to be laid out. Depending on the format of the folded products to be laid out, the folded product guides can be positioned precisely on the side edges of the folded products and ensure a high level of accuracy in the delivery of the folded products, even at high machine speeds. The remote controllability of the side folding product guides allows further automation in the folder, as well as remote control from the central control of the printing press.

Gemäß einem weiteren Ausgestaltungsmerkmal der Erfindung sind die Schaufelradscheiben in axialer Richtung auf der Antriebswelle verschiebbar angebracht. Dies erlaubt eine weitere Vergrößerung des Einstellbereiches, sowie eine Feinjustierung der Falzproduktführungen an den Seitenkanten der Falzprodukte.According to a further feature of the invention, the paddle wheel disks are slidably mounted on the drive shaft in the axial direction. This allows a further increase in the setting range, as well as a Fine adjustment of the folded product guides on the side edges of the folded products.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die jeweiligen Schaufelradscheiben sich nach außen erstreckend geformt mit zwischeneinander gebildeten Taschen, und eine erste Falzproduktführung dient dem kleinen Format der Falzexemplare als Seitenanschlag, während die bogenförmige Ausnehmung der ersten der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen gegenphasig zu den Taschen zwischen den Schaufelradscheiben gestellt sind. Auf diese weise läßt sich mit einfachen Mitteln eine seitliche Führung kleinerer Falzprodukte erreichen, die sich nicht über die gesamte Breite aller auf der Antriebswelle angeordneten Schaufelradscheiben erstrecken. Durch Verstellung der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen in Umfangsrichtung sind die zwischen Schaufelradscheiben gebildeten Taschen seitlich mit einer Führung versehen, in der die Seitenkante der Falzexemplare bei kleinem Format anliegt.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the respective paddlewheel disks are shaped to extend outward with pockets formed between them, and a first fold product guide serves as the side stop for the small format of the fold copies, while the arcuate recess of the first of the adjustable fold product guides is placed in phase opposition to the pockets between the paddle wheel disks are. In this way, lateral guidance of smaller folded products can be achieved with simple means, which do not extend over the entire width of all paddle wheel disks arranged on the drive shaft. By adjusting the adjustable folding product guides in the circumferential direction, the pockets formed between paddlewheel disks are laterally provided with a guide in which the side edge of the folded copies rests in a small format.

Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß eine erste, nicht verstellbare Falzproduktführung dem großen Format der Falzexemplare als Seitenanschlag dient, während die bogenförmigen Ausnehmungen der ersten verstellbaren Falzproduktführung und der zweiten verstellbaren Falzproduktführung mit den Taschen zwischen den Schaufelradscheiben in Phase liegen. Diese Konstruktion bietet den Vorteil, großformatige Falzexemplare in die Taschen aller auf der Antriebswelle angeordneten Schaufelradscheiben einzuführen und die Seitenkante der Falzexemplare durch feststehende seitliche Falzproduktführungen zu führen.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a first, non-adjustable fold product guide serves as the side stop for the large format of the fold copies, while the arcuate recesses of the first adjustable fold product guide and the second adjustable fold product guide lie in phase with the pockets between the paddle wheel disks. This construction offers the advantage of inserting large-sized folded copies into the pockets of all the paddle wheel disks arranged on the drive shaft and guiding the side edge of the folded copies through fixed lateral folded product guides.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß die verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen mit jeweiligen Bolzen an den verstellbaren Schaufelradscheiben bewegbar befestigt sind und über einen, mit den verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen verbundenen jeweiligen Drehhebel in die Position "In Phase" und in die Position "Gegenphase" stellbar sind.Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the adjustable folding product guides with respective bolts on the adjustable paddle wheel disks are movably attached and can be adjusted into the "in phase" and "counter phase" positions via a respective rotary lever connected to the adjustable folding product guides.

Die Befestigung der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen an den verstellbaren Schaufelradscheiben schafft zusätzlichen Bauraum, um Transportbänder bis zwischen die einzelnen Schaufelradscheiben hinein zu führen. Diese können dann entsprechend den Verstellungen der verstellbaren Schaufelradscheiben mitbewegt werden. Zudem bleibt Bauraum für Stellantriebe verfügbar. Durch entsprechendes Handhaben des jeweiligen Drehhebels ist ein einfaches Bewegen der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen in zwei Stellpositionen realisierbar.The attachment of the adjustable folded product guides to the adjustable bucket wheel disks creates additional installation space in order to guide conveyor belts into between the individual bucket wheel disks. These can then be moved according to the adjustments of the adjustable paddlewheel disks. There is also space available for actuators. By appropriately handling the respective rotary lever, a simple movement of the adjustable folding product guides can be achieved in two setting positions.

Es ist ein weiteres Merkmal der Erfindung, daß die jeweiligen Drehhebel durch ein ein zentrales Fernsteuerungssystem betätigt werden, um die Verstellung der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen zu bewirken.It is a further feature of the invention that the respective rotary levers are operated by a central remote control system in order to effect the adjustment of the adjustable folding product guides.

Nach einem anderen Ausführungsbeispiel schließt der Schaufelradausleger Stellzylinder ein, welche durch die Anwendung eines Druckmittels aktiviert werden können, und welche zwecks Steuerung einerseits mit dem Fernsteuerungssystem und andererseits mit den Drehhebeln verbunden sind.According to another exemplary embodiment, the bucket wheel boom includes actuating cylinders which can be activated by the use of a pressure medium and which are connected on the one hand to the remote control system and on the other hand to the rotary levers for the purpose of control.

Nach einem alternativen Ausführungsbeispiel schließt der Schaufelradausleger ein elektromagnetisches Element ein, welches das zentrale Fernsteuerungssystem mit den Drehhebeln verbindet zum Verstellen der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen.According to an alternative embodiment, the bucket wheel boom includes an electromagnetic element which connects the central remote control system to the rotary levers for adjusting the adjustable folding product guides.

Durch die obengenannten Merkmale werden die Falzproduktführungen entsprechend der gespeicherten, für den Druckauftrag spezifischen Information in die Automatic der Produktauslage eingebunden.Due to the above-mentioned features, the folded product guides are stored in accordance with the Print order specific information integrated in the automatic of the product display.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsmöglichkeit sind die Falzproduktführungen aus Plexiglas gefertigt.According to a further embodiment, the folded product guides are made of plexiglass.

Gemäß dem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Längsschnitt eines Schaufelradauslegers ist eine Antriebswelle 1 in Lagern 4 und 5 in dem Falzapparat gelagert. Das Lager 4 wird von einer Seitenwand 3 getragen. In der Antriebswelle 1 ist eine Paßfeder 2 eingelassen, über welche die Schaufelradscheiben 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d und 6e in Rotation gebracht werden. Die Schaufelradscheiben 6a und 6b haben Tragscheiben 33, welche an der Antriebswelle 1 befestigt sind, wohingegen die Schaufelradscheiben 6c, 6d und 6e Tragscheiben 33 haben, welche in axialer Richtung der Antriebswelle 1 entlang der Paßfeder 2 verschiebbar angeordnet sind. Der Verschiebebereich ist in Fig. 1 durch einen horizontalen, doppelköpfigen Pfeil angedeutet.According to the longitudinal section of a bucket wheel boom shown in FIG. 1, a drive shaft 1 is supported in bearings 4 and 5 in the folder. The bearing 4 is supported by a side wall 3. A feather key 2 is embedded in the drive shaft 1, via which the paddle wheel disks 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d and 6e are brought into rotation. The bucket wheel disks 6a and 6b have support disks 33 which are fastened to the drive shaft 1, whereas the bucket wheel disks 6c, 6d and 6e Have support disks 33 which are arranged displaceably in the axial direction of the drive shaft 1 along the feather key 2. The displacement range is indicated in Fig. 1 by a horizontal, double-headed arrow.

Die fest auf der Antriebswelle 1 angeordnete Tragscheibe 33 der Schaufelradscheibe 6a ist mit einer Falzproduktführung 7 versehen, die als seitliche Führung der Falzprodukte dient und die Seitenkante der Falzprodukte ausrichtet. Die verschiebbar auf der Antriebswelle 1 gelagerte Tragscheibe 33 der Schaufelradscheibe 6e weist eine Falzproduktführung 8 auf, welche durch einen Bolzen 18 und eine Hülse 17 an der Schaufelradscheibe 6e befestigt ist. Die verschiebbaren Schaufelradscheiben 6c und 6d, hingegen, sind mit je einer verstellbaren Falzproduktführung 9a und 9b ausgerüstet, welche in Umfangsrichtung der Schaufelradscheiben 6c und 6d verstellbar sind (siehe auch Fig. 3). Die drei auf der Antriebswelle 1 verschiebbaren Schaufelradscheiben 6c, 6d und 6e sind durch Verschraubungen 14 mit einer Nabe 15 verbunden, deren axiale Verstellung über einen Hilfsrahmen 10 erfolgt. Der Hilfsrahmen 10 ist in einem Rahmenlager 11 auf der Nabe 15 gelagert. Wenn der Hilfsrahmen 10 in eine Richtung des waagrechten Pfeils verschoben wird, folgen die Tragscheiben 33 der Schaufelradscheiben 6c, 6d und 6e dieser Bewegung. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite erfolgt über Verschraubungen 13 eine Verbindung der Tragscheiben 33 und damit der Schaufelradscheiben 6a und 6b mit der Nabe 16.The carrier disk 33 of the paddle wheel disk 6a, which is fixedly arranged on the drive shaft 1, is provided with a folded product guide 7, which serves as a lateral guide for the folded products and aligns the side edge of the folded products. The carrier disk 33 of the bucket wheel disk 6e, which is slidably mounted on the drive shaft 1, has a folded product guide 8, which is fastened to the bucket wheel disk 6e by a bolt 18 and a sleeve 17. The displaceable paddle wheel disks 6c and 6d, on the other hand, are each equipped with an adjustable folded product guide 9a and 9b, which are adjustable in the circumferential direction of the paddlewheel disks 6c and 6d (see also FIG. 3). The three paddle wheel disks 6c, 6d and 6e which are displaceable on the drive shaft 1 are connected by screw connections 14 to a hub 15, the axial adjustment of which is carried out via an auxiliary frame 10. The auxiliary frame 10 is mounted in a frame bearing 11 on the hub 15. When the subframe 10 is moved in a direction of the horizontal arrow, the support disks 33 of the bucket wheel disks 6c, 6d and 6e follow this movement. On the opposite side, the supporting disks 33 and thus the paddle wheel disks 6a and 6b are connected to the hub 16 via screw connections 13.

Laufen beispielsweise Falzprodukte mit kleinem Format 12a in die Schaufelradscheiben 6a, 6b und 6c ein, so dient die Falzproduktführung 7 als seitliche Führung an der Schaufelradscheibe 6a. Eine verstellbare Falzproduktführung 9a an der Schaufelradscheibe 6c wird durch Fernsteuerung in die Position "Gegenphase" gestellt und bildet somit eine seitliche Führung für die Falzprodukte. In der Position "Gegenphase" ist die verstellbare Falzproduktführung 9a soweit zu der Schaufelradscheibe 6a verschoben, daß die Schaufelradtaschen 24 zwischen den einzelnen Schaufelblättern 23 durch die verstellbare Falzproduktführung 6a überdeckt sind (siehe auch Fig. 3). Feineinstellungen sind durch die Betätigung des Hilfsrahmens 10 möglich, wodurch zudem auch eine Anpassung an ausgefallene Produktformate erreicht werden kann. Analog kann mit der verstellbaren Falzproduktführung 9b an der Schaufelradscheibe 6d verfahren werden.
Laufen hingegen Falzprodukte mit großem Format 12b in die Schaufelradscheiben 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d und 6e ein, so stehen die verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen 9a und 9b in der Position "In Phase". Die bogenförmigen Ausnehmungen 27 der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen 9a und 9b befinden sich in der gleichen Phasenlage mit den Schaufelradtaschen 24 der Schaufelradscheiben 6c und 6d (siehe Fig. 3). Die seitliche Führung der Falzprodukte wird durch die an der äußeren Schaufelradscheibe 6e angebrachte Falzproduktführung 8 gewährleistet. Eine Erweiterung des seitlichen Verschiebungsbereichs kann wiederum durch Verstellung des Hilfsrahmens 10 in die jeweilige Richtung des waagrechten Pfeils erfolgen, wobei auch eine Feineinstellbarkeit erzielbar ist.If, for example, folded products with a small format 12a run into the bucket wheel disks 6a, 6b and 6c, the folded product guide 7 serves as a lateral guide on the bucket wheel disk 6a. An adjustable folding product guide 9a on the paddle wheel disc 6c is placed in the "counter phase" position by remote control and thus forms a lateral guide for the folding products. In the "counter phase" position is the adjustable one Folded product guide 9a shifted so far to the bucket wheel disk 6a that the bucket wheel pockets 24 between the individual airfoil blades 23 are covered by the adjustable folded product guide 6a (see also FIG. 3). Fine adjustments are possible by operating the subframe 10, which also allows adaptation to unusual product formats. The same procedure can be followed with the adjustable folding product guide 9b on the paddle wheel disk 6d.
If, on the other hand, folded products with a large format 12b run into the paddle wheel disks 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d and 6e, the adjustable folded product guides 9a and 9b are in the "in phase" position. The arcuate recesses 27 of the adjustable folding product guides 9a and 9b are in the same phase position with the bucket wheel pockets 24 of the bucket wheel disks 6c and 6d (see FIG. 3). The lateral guidance of the folded products is ensured by the folded product guide 8 attached to the outer paddle wheel disk 6e. An extension of the lateral displacement range can in turn be carried out by adjusting the subframe 10 in the respective direction of the horizontal arrow, it also being possible to achieve fine adjustment.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Seitenansicht der Falzproduktzufuhr in die Schaufelradtaschen. Hinter einem Schneidzylinderpaar 19 gelangen die einzelnen Falzprodukte zwischen Transportbänder 20. Die Transportbänder 20 werden jeweils durch Spannrollen 21 nachgespannt und transportieren die Falzprodukte zum Schaufelradausleger. Lagerschilder 22 nehmen die Lagerung von weiteren Walzen und Zylindern im Falzapparat auf. Die am unteren Ende der umlaufenden Transportbänder 20 austretenden Falzprodukte gelangen zu den Schaufelradtaschen 24 der Schaufelradscheibe 6c und können ungehindert in diese eintreten. Die verstellbare Falzproduktführung 9a ist so verstellt, daß die Schaufelradtaschen 24 der Schaufelradscheibe 6c und die bogenförmigen Ausnehmungen 27 der verstellbaren Falzproduktführung 9a "In Phase" zueinander liegen, wie unter dem Bezugszeichen 25 dargestellt.Fig. 2 shows a side view of the folded product feed into the paddle wheel pockets. Behind a pair of cutting cylinders 19, the individual folding products pass between conveyor belts 20. The conveyor belts 20 are each re-tensioned by tensioning rollers 21 and transport the folding products to the bucket wheel boom. Bearing plates 22 take up the storage of further rollers and cylinders in the folder. The folded products emerging at the lower end of the rotating conveyor belts 20 reach the paddle wheel pockets 24 of the paddle wheel disc 6c and can enter them without hindrance. The adjustable folded product guide 9a is adjusted so that the Paddlewheel pockets 24 of the paddlewheel disk 6c and the arcuate recesses 27 of the adjustable folded product guide 9a are "in phase" to one another, as shown under the reference number 25.

In Fig. 3a ist die Stellung einer Falzproduktführung in der Position "In Phase" und in Fig. 3b in der Position "Gegenphase" gezeigt. Die verstellbare Schaufelradscheibe 6c weist zwischen den einzelnen Schaufelblättern 23 Schaufelradtaschen 24 auf. An der Schaufelradscheibe 6c ist eine verstellbare Falzproduktführung 9a bewegbar angebracht. Diese ist durch Bolzen 18, welche in Langlöchern 28 in Umfangsrichtung verschoben werden können, in der Schaufelradscheibe 6c gelagert. In der in Fig. 3a gezeigten "in-Phase"-Position ist erkennbar, daß die Schaufelradtaschen 24 in der Schaufelradscheibe 6c mit den bogenförmigen Ausnehmungen 27 der verstellbaren Falzproduktführung 9a fluchten. Dies entspricht der Stellposition, die eingestellt ist, wenn im Schaufelradausleger großformatige Falzprodukte verarbeitet werden, deren Breite sich über mehr als drei Schaufelradscheiben erstreckt.3a shows the position of a folded product guide in the "in phase" position and in FIG. 3b in the "counter phase" position. The adjustable bucket wheel disc 6c has 23 bucket wheel pockets 24 between the individual bucket blades. An adjustable folded product guide 9a is movably attached to the paddle wheel disc 6c. This is supported in the paddle wheel disc 6c by bolts 18, which can be displaced in the circumferential direction in elongated holes 28. In the "in-phase" position shown in Fig. 3a it can be seen that the paddle wheel pockets 24 in the paddle wheel disc 6c are aligned with the arcuate recesses 27 of the adjustable folded product guide 9a. This corresponds to the setting position that is set when large-size folded products are processed in the bucket wheel boom, the width of which extends over more than three bucket wheel disks.

Der Stellweg von der Position "In Phase" bis zu der Position "Gegenphase" wird durch die Länge der Langlöcher 28 in Umfangsrichtung vorgegeben und kann individuell angepaßt werden. Die Umschaltung von der Stellposition "In Phase" 25 in die Stellposition "Gegenphase" 26 wird dadurch bewirkt, daß über einen Betätigungshebel 31 der Drehhebel 29 geschwenkt wird und, unterstützt durch die Kraft einer hier nicht dargestellten, sondern nur gestrichelt angedeuteten Feder 30 die verstellbare Falzproduktführung 9a in die Position "Gegenphase" 26 verstellt wird.The travel distance from the "in phase" position to the "counter phase" position is predetermined by the length of the elongated holes 28 in the circumferential direction and can be individually adapted. The changeover from the setting position "in phase" 25 to the setting position "counter phase" 26 is effected in that the rotary lever 29 is pivoted via an actuating lever 31 and, supported by the force of a spring 30, not shown here, but only indicated by dashed lines, the adjustable one Folded product guide 9a is adjusted to the "counter phase" 26 position.

In Fig. 3b ist die verstellbare Falzproduktführung 9a gegenüber den Schaufelradtaschen 24 der Schaufelradscheibe 6c verdreht dargestellt, so daß die Schaufelradtaschen 24 durch die Falzproduktführung 9a verschlossen sind. Dies ist beispielsweise dann der Fall, wenn Falzprodukte mit kleinem Format 12a in den Schaufelradausleger einlaufen und korrekt ausgelegt werden sollen. Erstreckt sich die Breite solcher kleinerer Falzprodukte über die drei Schaufelradscheiben 6a, 6b und 6c, so wird die Falzproduktführung 9a ferngesteuert in die Position "Gegenphase" 26 gebracht. Nunmehr ist eine seitliche Führung auch kleinerer Falzprodukte gewährleistet, und mit der Feineinstellung durch die seitliche Verschiebbarkeit ist eine schonende Behandlung der Falzprodukte und hohe Auslegequalität erzielt.In FIG. 3b, the adjustable folding product guide 9a is opposite the bucket wheel pockets 24 of the bucket wheel disk 6c shown rotated so that the paddle wheel pockets 24 are closed by the folded product guide 9a. This is the case, for example, when folded products with a small format 12a run into the bucket wheel boom and are to be designed correctly. If the width of such smaller folding products extends over the three paddle wheel disks 6a, 6b and 6c, the folding product guide 9a is brought into the "counter phase" 26 position by remote control. Now a lateral guidance of even smaller folding products is guaranteed, and with the fine adjustment due to the lateral displaceability, gentle handling of the folding products and high laying quality are achieved.

In den Fig. 3a und 3b sind weiterhin die Antriebswelle 1 und die darauf montierte Paßfeder 2 zu erkennen. Die Tragscheibe 33 ist über mehrere Verschraubungen 34 mit der Schaufelradscheibe 6c verbunden. Der Antrieb der Antriebswelle 1 erfolgt über ein Antriebsrad 32. Die Falzproduktführungen 9a, 9b können aus dünnem, steifem Material bestehen, wie z.B. Kunststoff oder Plexiglas. Die Verstellung der verstellbaren Falzproduktführungen 9a und 9b kann elektromagnetisch oder über druckmittelbeaufschlagte Stellzylinder erfolgen, die im Bereich der Verbindung von Tragscheibe 33 und den Schaufelradscheiben 6c und 6d eingebaut sind. Dadurch wird eine Einbindung in die Fernsteuerung ermöglicht. Die wenig Bauraum beanspruchende Einbaumöglichkeit der Stellzylinder erlaubt es ferner, Transportbänder zum Schaufelradausleger, oder Auslagebänder, auf denen die Falzprodukte in geschuppter Anordnung ausgelegt werden, bis in die Zwischenräume zwischen den einzelnen Schaufelradscheiben 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d und 6e zu führen. Die Transportbänder oder Auslagebänder können dann parallel mit einer axialen Verschiebung in die eine oder andere Richtung des horizontalen Pfeils (siehe Figur 1) mitverschoben werden. Dies kann dann sowohl im Rahmen einer auftragsspezifischen Voreinstellung wie auch während des Maschinenbetriebs erfolgen. Dadurch kann das Bedienungspersonal von Einstellarbeiten entlastet werden und sein Augenmerk auf überwachende Tätigkeiten lenken.

 3a and 3b, the drive shaft 1 and the key 2 mounted thereon can also be seen. The support disk 33 is connected to the impeller disk 6c via a plurality of screw connections 34. The drive shaft 1 is driven by a drive wheel 32. The folded product guides 9a, 9b can consist of thin, rigid material, such as plastic or plexiglass. The adjustable folding product guides 9a and 9b can be adjusted electromagnetically or via actuating cylinders pressurized with pressure medium, which are installed in the area of the connection between the support disk 33 and the paddlewheel disks 6c and 6d. This enables integration into the remote control. The installation space of the actuating cylinders, which takes up little space, also allows conveyor belts to the bucket wheel boom, or delivery belts on which the folded products are laid out in a shingled arrangement, to be guided into the spaces between the individual bucket wheel disks 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d and 6e. The conveyor belts or delivery belts can then be displaced in parallel with an axial displacement in one or the other direction of the horizontal arrow (see FIG. 1). This can then be done as part of an order-specific pre-setting as well as during machine operation respectively. This allows the operating personnel to be relieved of adjustment work and to focus their attention on monitoring activities.
