Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for feeding preferably folded printed products to a further processing point according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 6.
  • the supplied printed products in the transfer area are inserted directly into the passing open grippers of the conveyor by the feed conveyor.
  • the conveying direction of the away conveyor runs in the transfer area of the printed products from bottom to top and transversely to the conveying direction of the supplied printed products.
  • the present invention is based on the object of creating a method and a device of the type mentioned at the outset which allow the printed products to be fed to a further processing point in the desired sequence, regardless of the quality of the flake formation supplied.
  • the supplied printed products are first inserted into an intermediate stack, from which they are removed from above by the suction arrangement and fed to the second conveyor, the supply of the printed products to the second conveyor is decoupled from the supply of the printed products by the first conveyor. This means that too large or too small distances between successive printed products and also missing printed products in the shingled stream supplied no longer influence the correct supply of printed products to the second conveying device. Such irregularities in the resulting scale formation are compensated for by the intermediate stack.
  • FIGS. 1-3 A first embodiment of a device according to the invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 1-3.
  • This device has a first conveyor device 1, which delivers folded printed products 2 in a scale formation S.
  • each printed product rests on the subsequent product 2.
  • the trailing edge 2a of the printed products 2 lies in the scale formation S at the top.
  • this trailing edge of the folded printed products 2 is formed by the folded edge 2a.
  • the open side edge 2b opposite this fold edge 2a accordingly forms the leading edge.
  • the conveyor device 1 has a belt conveyor 3 and an apron conveyor 4 connected downstream thereof.
  • the apron conveyor 4 is formed by a number of round aprons 5 (FIG. 2) which run parallel to one another and at a distance from one another and are guided over deflection rollers 6 and 7, of which one deflection roller is driven.
  • the belt conveyor 3 and the apron conveyor 4 can have the same or different conveying speeds.
  • the deflection rollers 6, 7 are rotatably mounted in two arms 8, 9 (FIG. 2) running parallel to one another.
  • the apron conveyor 4 is designed as a rocker which can be pivoted about the axis 6 'of the deflection roller 6 and is supported on a piston-cylinder unit 10 which is only shown schematically in FIG. 1. By means of the latter, the pivoting position of the apron conveyor 4 is set in a manner to be described.
  • a stop 11 which has a number of stop fingers 12 (FIG. 2) which are arranged at a distance from one another and each extend between two round aprons 5.
  • a conveyor roller 13 is provided in front of the stop 11, which extends transversely to the conveying direction A and rests on the scale formation S.
  • This conveyor roller 13 is rotatably supported on both ends in an arm 14 or 15 by means of bearings 16, 17 (FIG. 2).
  • the arms 14, 15 are in turn supported at the other end on a shaft 18 by means of self-aligning bearings 19, 20.
  • the shaft 18 passes through the arms 14, 15 of the strappy conveyor 4 and is supported in bearing parts 21, 22 which are attached to the arms 14 or 15 are attached (Fig. 2).
  • the shaft 18 is supported by bearings 23 and 24.
  • At one end of the shaft 18 sits a gear 25, which is driven by a drive chain 26 by a drive, not shown.
  • This gear 25 meshes with a gear 27, which is firmly seated on an extension 13a of the conveyor roller 13.
  • the conveyor roller 13 is thus driven in a rotating manner in the direction of the arrow T (FIG. 3).
  • the conveyor roller 13 exerting a conveying effect on the printed products 2 can adapt to the changing height of the scale formation S thanks to its oscillating mounting. Since the two bearing arms 14, 15 for the drive roller 13 are pivoted independently of one another, as described, the conveyor roller 13 can also adapt if differences in thickness occur in the scale formation S in a direction transverse to the conveying direction A.
  • a stacking point 28 is defined between the conveyor roller 13 and the stop 11, at which the printed products 2 are stacked up to form an intermediate stack 29.
  • a support plate 30 (FIG. 2) is arranged below the round apron 5, which prevents the round aprons 5 from bending under the weight of the intermediate stack 29.
  • the printed products 2 are pushed into the intermediate stack 29 from below by the apron conveyor 4.
  • the driven conveyor roller 13 supports the insertion of the printed products 2 into the intermediate stack 29.
  • the stop 11 slows the feed movement of the printed products 2.
  • a height monitoring arrangement is shown purely schematically, the z. B. can be designed as a light barrier.
  • This height monitoring arrangement 31 is connected to a control arrangement, not shown, which controls the cylinder-piston unit 10 and thus the swivel position of the apron conveyor 4.
  • This height monitoring arrangement 31 ensures that the upper side 29a of the intermediate stack 29 is always at approximately the same level H. This is achieved in that when the height of the intermediate stack 29 changes, the apron conveyor 4 is pivoted upwards or downwards by means of the piston-cylinder unit 10 in order to keep the top side 29a of the stack at the desired height H.
  • apron conveyor 4 there is a second conveyor device 32 which has individually controllable grippers 33, which are attached at regular intervals to an endless chain, not shown, which is guided in a chain channel 34.
  • the chain and thus also the grippers 33 run in the direction of arrow B (FIG. 1).
  • Each gripper 33 has a support element 35 fastened to the chain, on which a clamping plate 36 and two clamping fingers 37 cooperating therewith are pivotably mounted.
  • the two clamping fingers 37 which are arranged at a distance from one another are under the action of a closing spring 38 which presses the clamping finger 37 against the clamping plate 36 and thus keeps the gripper 33 closed.
  • the two closing springs 38 are arranged on a bolt 39 which is mounted in the support element 35 and around the longitudinal axis of which the clamping plate 36 can be freely pivoted together with the associated clamping fingers 37.
  • a control arm 40 is connected to each clamping finger 37 and carries a control roller 41 at its end.
  • the clamping plates 36 are provided with a shoulder 36a, which is directed backwards in the conveying direction B and is intended to interact with a positioning link 42.
  • an opening guide 43 is used, which cooperates with the control roller 41 and causes the clamping fingers 37 to be lifted against the force of the closing springs 38 from the clamping plate 36.
  • a suction device arrangement In order to bring the printed products 2 from the intermediate stack 29 into the conveying area F of the conveying device 32, ie into the movement path of the opened grippers 33, a suction device arrangement, generally designated 44, is provided.
  • This has two suction heads 45 and 46 arranged at a distance from one another (FIG. 2), each of which is fastened to a tubular support arm 47.
  • a connecting hose 48 is connected to each support arm, which is connected to a vacuum source, not shown, which can be switched on and off periodically.
  • Each support arm 47 is further connected to a drive 49, only partially shown in FIG. 2, which will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • this drive 49 By means of this drive 49, the suction heads 45, 46 are moved along a closed, approximately pear-shaped orbit 50.
  • these orbits 50 run to the side of the conveyor 32.
  • Each orbit 50 runs from a takeover point 51, which is located on the top of the stack 29a in the area of the trailing fold edge 2a of the printed products 2, up to a delivery point 52 and then on upwards and in a loop back to the transfer point 51.
  • the suction heads 45, 46 are connected to the vacuum source. This means that the uppermost printed product 2 'in the intermediate stack 29 in the area of the fold 2a is gripped by the suction heads 45, 46 and taken upwards into the conveying area F of the conveying device 32.
  • the folded edges 2a of the printed products 2 which are lifted upwards by the suction heads 45, 46 are thus brought into the path of movement of an open gripper 33 each and come between its clamping plate 36 and the clamping fingers 37 lifted therefrom.
  • the grippers 33 are brought into the suitable pivot position by means of the positioning link 42. How especially out 3 can be seen, the clamping plate 36 with the clamping fingers 37 are pivoted by means of the positioning link 42 during the takeover of the printed products 2, so that a correct gripping of the printed products 2 in the area of their fold 2a is ensured by the grippers 33.
  • the tubular support arm 47 to which the suction head 45 is attached, is attached to one arm 53a of a two-armed lever 53, the other arm 53b of which is angled relative to the arm 53a.
  • the arm 53b forms the coupling of a crank arm 54 and is connected to a crank 56 via a joint 55, the joint pin of which is designated 55a.

  • the longitudinal axis of this shaft 61 is designated 61 '.
  • the rocker 60 With the crank 56 rotating, the rocker 60 is pivoted back and forth between two end positions, which are shown in broken lines in FIG. 4 and form an angle ⁇ .
  • the two end positions of the rocker arm 60 are designated by the positions of the pivot pin 59a, designated 59a ′ and 59a ′′.
  • the suction head 45 is now moved upward from the takeover point 51 along the section 50a of the orbit 50 to the delivery point 52. Between the take-over point 51 and the delivery point 52, the suction head 45 is, as already mentioned, connected to the vacuum source and takes a printed product 2 with it. After switching off the vacuum source, the printed product is released. The suction head 45 is moved further in the direction of the arrow C along the orbit 50 until it arrives again at the takeover point 51, where the next printed product 2 is detected. It is obvious that the orbit 50 is selected such that the suction head 45 runs around the printed product 2 after it has been released, so that the gripper 33 grips the printed product by the suction head movement is not affected.
  • the printed products 2 fed in by the belt conveyor 3 in scale formation S are subsequently conveyed with the folded edge 2a to the stacking point 28 and are inserted there at the bottom with the support of the conveying roller 13 into the intermediate stack 29.
  • the uppermost printed product 2 in the intermediate stack 29 is captured by the suction heads 45, 46 in the region of the folded edge 2a and lifted upwards from the intermediate stack 29.
  • the folded edge 2a is brought into the path of movement of the open grippers 33 and clamped between the clamping plate 36 and the clamping fingers 37.
