Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Bekannte Einrichtungen nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 weisen ein rotierendes Förderorgan mit sektorartigen Aufnahmetaschen auf, welches die in Umschlägen zusammengefassten Druckprodukte, beispielsweise Beilagen oder dgl., im oberschlächtigen Bereich des Förderorgans aufnimmt und an einer unterhalb einer durch die Drehachse des Förderorgans gelegten Horizontalebene vorgesehenen Auslage abgibt, wobei die Umschläge mit ihrer offenen Seite voran das Förderorgan verlassen und mittels Förderband abgeführt werden.Known devices according to the preamble of claim 1 have a rotating conveying member with sector-like receiving pockets, which receives the printed products, for example supplements or the like, combined in envelopes, in the overshot area of the conveying member and on a delivery provided below a horizontal plane defined by the axis of rotation of the conveying member emits, the envelopes with their open side first leaving the conveyor and removed by means of a conveyor belt.

Eine solche Anordnung der Auslage ist nachteilig, weil durch sie die in den Umschlägen oder Hauptprodukten eingesteckten Beilagen und Vorprodukte ersteren über die nach unten geneigte Öffnung entgleiten können und dadurch die Weiterverarbeitung durch Unterbrüche stören.Such an arrangement of the delivery is disadvantageous because it enables the inserts and primary products inserted into the envelopes or main products to slip over the downwardly sloping opening and thereby further processing disrupt by interruptions.

An die vorliegende Erfindung ist somit die Aufgabe gestellt, eine Einrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art zu schaffen, durch die die Zuverlässigkeit der Verarbeitung zugeführter Druckprodukte verbessert werden kann.The object of the present invention is therefore to create a device of the type mentioned at the outset by means of which the reliability of the processing of supplied printed products can be improved.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe nach den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst.
Dadurch können die Umschläge an der offenen Seite von oben erfasst, das Austreten der in die Umschläge eingesteckten Beilagen verhindert, die Weiterverarbeitung gewährleistend, den Aufnahmetaschen entnommen werden.This object is achieved according to the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
As a result, the envelopes can be grasped from above on the open side, the inserts inserted into the envelopes can be prevented from escaping, and the further processing can be ensured by removing them from the receiving pockets.

Bei der Ausbildung des Erfindungsgegenstandes erweist sich ein trommelförmiges Förderorgan aufgrund hoher Stabilität und der einfachen Anordnungweise von Aufnahmetaschen als vorteilhaft.When designing the subject matter of the invention, a drum-shaped conveying element proves to be advantageous due to its high stability and the simple arrangement of the receiving pockets.

Besonders zweckmässig zeigt sich bei der Ausgestaltung der Entnahmestation ein zum Förderorgan benachbarter, gleichsinnig wie letzteres angetriebener, mittels gesteuerten Greifzangen in die geöffneten Aufnahmetaschen eintauchender Takttransporteur, der die Druckprodukte den Aufnahmetaschen an der offenen Seite erfassend entnimmt.Particularly expedient in the configuration of the removal station is a clock conveyor which is adjacent to the conveying element and is driven in the same direction as the latter and is immersed in the open receiving pockets by means of controlled gripping tongs and removes the printed products from the receiving pockets on the open side.

Vorzugsweise ist wenigstens die vorlaufende Wand einer Aufnahmetasche derart gesteuert, dass sie an der Beschickungsstation für den Umschlag eine verzögerte Fortbewegung erfährt, sodass ein weitgehend stufenloser Übergang von dieser Station in die Aufnahmetaschen entsteht.At least the leading wall of a receiving pocket is preferably controlled in such a way that it experiences a delayed movement at the loading station for the envelope, so that a largely stepless transition from this station to the receiving pockets occurs.

Aus dem gleichen Grund kann die die Beilagen in die Aufnahmetaschen führende nachlaufende Wand der Aufnahmetaschen an der Zuführstation für die Beilagen hinsichtlich der Fortbewegung verzögernd gesteuert ausgebildet sein.For the same reason, the trailing wall of the receiving pockets, which leads the supplements into the receiving pockets, can be moved at the feeding station for the supplements with regard to locomotion be designed to be controlled in a delayed manner.

Die Aufnahmetaschen sind vorzugsweise mit Haltevorrichtungen ausgebildet, welche die zugeführten Umschläge nach Verlassen der Beschickungsstation beim Durchfahren in Lage halten, insbesondere im unterschlächtigen Bereich des Förderorgans.The receiving pockets are preferably designed with holding devices which hold the supplied envelopes in position after leaving the loading station when they are being passed through, in particular in the undershot area of the conveyor element.

Im übrigen können beide oder eine der Wände der Aufnahmetaschen derart verstellbar gesteuert sein, dass die Aufnahmeta- schen nach der Beschickungsstation geschlossen sind.In addition, both or one of the walls of the receiving pockets can be controlled so that the receiving pockets are closed after the loading station.

Sobald sich die Aufnahmetaschen über einer durch die Drehachse des Förderorgans gelegten Ebene befinden, können sie mit Beilagen bzw. Druckprodukten weiterbeschickt werden, wozu sie zur Öffnung der Umschläge vorteilhaft in eine Offenstellung versetzt werden.
Hierzu ist vorzugsweise die oben liegende Seite eines Umschlages mit der oberen bzw. vorlaufenden zur Öffnung angetriebenen Wand der Aufnahmetaschen bspw. mittels einer betätigbaren Klammer ausgebildet.As soon as the receiving pockets are above a plane defined by the axis of rotation of the conveying member, they can be further loaded with supplements or printed products, for which purpose they are advantageously placed in an open position to open the envelopes.
For this purpose, the upper side of an envelope is preferably formed with the upper or leading wall of the receiving pockets driven to open, for example by means of an actuatable clamp.

Zur Vorbereitung der Entnahme der vollständigen Produkte aus den Aufnahmetaschen, weisen diese zweckmässig eine die zugeführten Druckprodukte inklusive Umschlag bzw. Hauptprodukt aneinanderlegende bzw. zusammenschliessende Vorrichtung auf, welche die Druckprodukte vorzugsweise gegen die nachlaufende Wand der Aufnahmetaschen versetzt, wo sie in einem nächsten Schritt als Paket von den Greifzangen des Takttransporteurs erfasst und abgeführt werden.To prepare for the removal of the complete products from the receiving pockets, these expediently have a device which adjoins or closes the supplied printed products including the cover or main product, which preferably places the printed products against the trailing wall of the receiving pockets, where they are packaged in a next step are gripped and removed by the gripping tongs of the cycle feeder.

Bei einer dazu geeigneten Anordnungsweise ist die Beschikkungsstation für Umschläge oder ein als Hauptprodukt verwendetes Druckprodukt als Druckbogenanleger ausgebildet.In a suitable arrangement, the loading station for envelopes or a printed product used as the main product is designed as a sheet feeder.

Eine alternative Ausgestaltung der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung ist mit einer Beschickungsstation versehen, welcher eine die Umschläge von einer Papierrolle erzeugende Bogenschneid- und Falzvorrichtung vorgeschaltet ist.An alternative embodiment of the device according to the invention is provided with a loading station, which is preceded by a sheet-cutting and folding device producing the envelopes from a paper roll.

Bei einer Weiterausgestaltung könnte der Umschlag an der offenen Seite mit einem Klebefalz versehen sein, sodass die zugeführten Beilagen durch Umlegen des Klebefalzes vollständig umfasst werden.In a further embodiment, the envelope could be provided with an adhesive fold on the open side, so that the supplements supplied are completely covered by folding the adhesive fold.

Eine weitere Möglichkeit zum Zusammenfassen der Beilagen bietet sich durch die Verwendung einer Folienbahn, indem zur Bildung eines gefalzten Umschlages den Aufnahmetaschen des rotierenden Förderorgans an der Beschickungsstation durch eine in die Aufnahmetaschen eintauchende Einzugsvorrichtung jeweils ein an der offenen Seite verschweissbarer Abschnitt einer Folienbahn zugeführt wird.A further possibility for combining the inserts is provided by the use of a film web in that a section of a film web that can be welded on the open side is fed to the receiving pockets of the rotating conveyor element at the loading station by means of a drawing-in device that dips into the receiving pockets in order to form a folded envelope.

Dabei können die freien Ränder der Abschnitte nach dem Zuführen der Beilagen gegenseitig verschweisst werden, bspw. durch eine Schliessbewegung der Aufnahmetaschen, die mit einer Schweissvorrichtung versehen sind.The free edges of the sections can be welded to one another after the inserts have been fed in, for example by a closing movement of the receiving pockets, which are provided with a welding device.

Als geeignet erweist sich eine Einzugsvorrichtung, die spätestens nach dem Beschicken der Aufnahmetaschen aus diesen aushebbar ist.A feed device has proven to be suitable, which can be lifted out of the receiving pockets at the latest after the loading of the receiving pockets.

Im Weiterverlauf dieser Verarbeitungsweise können die von einer Folie völlig umschlungenen Beilagen als Paket aus den Aufnahmetaschen auf eine kommunizierende Fördervorrichtung ausgestossen werden.In the further course of this processing, the supplements completely wrapped in a film can be ejected as a package from the receiving pockets onto a communicating conveying device.

Anschliessend wird die vorliegende Erfindung anhand von in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen erörtert. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Einrichtung 1 zum Zusammenfassen von einem wenigstens einmal gefalzten Umschlag 2 oder einem als Umschlag benützten Hauptprodukt zugeführten Druck- resp. Vorprodukten oder Beilagen, indem einem Umschlag 2 oder dgl. in aufgespreiztem Zustand ein oder mehrere Druckprodukte 3 zugeführt werden.
Hierzu sieht die Einrichtung 1 gemäss Fig. 1 ein trommelförmig ausgebildetes Förderorgan 4 vor, das in mehrere, in eine Schliess- und Öffnungsstellung versetzbare sektorielle Aufnahmetaschen 9 unterteilt ist, denen eine den Umschlag 2 falzvoran zuführende Beschickungsstation 5, bspw. ein Druckbogenanleger zugeordnet ist sowie eine der Beschickungsstation 5 nachgeschaltete Zuführstation 6 für die durch mehrere Anleger 7 zusammengetragenen Druckprodukte 3 und eine Entnahmestation 8. Der Umschlag 2 wird von der Beschickungsstation 5 seitlich dem um eine etwa horizontale Achse rotierenden Förderorgan 4 zugeführt und anschliessend in einer Halteposition durch den unterschlächtigen Förderbereich des Förderorgans 4 an eine Zuführstation 10 für die Beilagen transportiert. Vor dem Erreichen der Zuführstation 6 werden die Aufnahmetaschen 9 mit dem Umschlag 2 geöffnet, sodass letzterer mit den zusammengetragenen Beilagen 3 beschickt werden kann.
Danach werden Umschlag 2 und Beilagen 3 aneinandergelegt, so dass sie durch in die Aufnahmetaschen 9 eintauchende Greifzangen 11 eines über dem Förderorgan 4 angeordneten gleichsinnig wie das Förderorgan 4 angetriebenen Takttransporteur 12 den Aufnahmetaschen 9 entnommen werden können. Das Zusammentragen der Beilagen 3 erfolgt im vorliegenden Fall mittels mehreren in Serie geschalteten Anlegern 7, die die von jeweils einem Stapel abgezogenen Beilagen 3 auf einem nachgiebig abgestützten Förderband 10 deponieren. Die abgezogenen Beilagen 3 werden nach Erreichen des Förderbandes 10 von einem aufliegend mitlaufenden Band 13 bis zu dem nächsten Anleger begleitet. Jeder nachfolgende Anleger setzt seine Beilage 3 auf die von hinten zugeführte/n auf.
Um einerseits die Beilagen 3 an den Anlegern 7 manuell auflegen, andererseits die Aufnahmetaschen in einem Gefälle beschicken zu können, verläuft das Förderband 10 nach der Anlegerreihe in einem ansteigenden Abschnitt weiter, sodass die Produkte anschliessend durch die Öffnung der zu beschickenden Aufnahmetasche 9 abfallen können. Selbstverständlich ist es möglich, eine sich in der Aufnahmeposition befindende Aufnahmetasche vom unmittelbaren Ende der Anlegerreihe aus zu bedienen, jedoch sind dazu die Anleger 7 höher anzuordnen und bedarfsfalls mit Transporteuren oder dgl. zu beschicken.Fig. 1 shows a device 1 for summarizing an at least once folded envelope 2 or a main product used as an envelope supplied printing or. Preproducts or supplements, in that one or more printed products 3 are supplied to an envelope 2 or the like in a spread state.
For this purpose, the device 1 according to FIG. 1 provides a drum-shaped conveying element 4, which is divided into a plurality of sectoral receiving pockets 9 which can be moved into a closed and open position and to which a loading station 5, for example a sheet feeder, is assigned which folds the envelope 2 in advance, and a feed station 6 downstream of the loading station 5 for the printed products 3 brought together by a plurality of feeders 7 and a removal station 8. The cover 2 is fed from the loading station 5 laterally to the conveying element 4 rotating about an approximately horizontal axis and then in a holding position through the undershot conveying area of the Conveyor 4 transported to a feed station 10 for the supplements. Before the feed station 6 is reached, the receiving pockets 9 are carried along the envelope 2 opened so that the latter can be loaded with the collated inserts 3.
The envelope 2 and the inserts 3 are then placed against one another so that they can be removed from the receiving pockets 9 by gripping tongs 11 which are inserted into the receiving pockets 9 and which are arranged above the conveying element 4 in the same direction as the conveying element 4. In the present case, the supplements 3 are collated by means of a plurality of feeders 7 connected in series, which deposit the supplements 3, each of which has been removed from a stack, on a resiliently supported conveyor belt 10. After the conveyor belt 10 has been reached, the loose inserts 3 are accompanied by a belt 13 lying on top of them, to the next feeder. Each subsequent investor places his supplement 3 on the feed from behind.
In order on the one hand to place the inserts 3 on the feeders 7 and on the other hand to be able to load the receiving bags on a downward slope, the conveyor belt 10 continues in an increasing section after the row of feeders, so that the products can then fall through the opening of the receiving bag 9 to be loaded. Of course, it is possible to operate a receiving pocket in the receiving position from the immediate end of the row of feeders, however, the feeders 7 are to be arranged higher and, if necessary, loaded with transporters or the like.

An der Beschickungsstation 5 wird die in Förderrichtung vordere Wand 14, wie aus Fig. 1 erkennbar hinsichtlich ihrer Fortbwegung verzögernd gesteuert, sodass die Umschläge 2 in der Aufnahmetasche jeweils nach kurzer Zeit und unbeeinflusst ihre Transportlage erreichen.At the loading station 5, the front wall 14 in the conveying direction, as can be seen in FIG. 1, is controlled with a delay in terms of its advancement, so that the envelopes 2 in the receiving pocket each reach their transport position after a short time and without being influenced.

Auf gleiche Weise kann auch die nachlaufende Wand 15 an der Zuführstation 6 für die Beilagen 3 oder Druckprodukte sich verzögernd fortbewegend ausgebildet sein.In the same way, the trailing wall 15 at the feed station 6 for the inserts 3 or printed products can itself be delayed locomotion.

Damit die an der Beschickungsstation 5 entgegengenommenen Umschläge 2 oder Hauptprodukte im unterschlächtigen Transportbereich des Förderorgans 4 nicht aus den Aufnahmetaschen 9 fallen, ist eine in der Zeichnung nicht erkennbare Haltevorrichtung an den Aufnahmetaschen 9 vorgesehen oder es kann zum selben Zweck die Aufnahmetasche nach der Beschickung mit einem Umschlag 2 durch die Wände 14, 15 geschlossen und vor der Zuführstation 6 für die Beilagen 3 wieder geöffnet werden.So that the envelopes 2 or main products received at the loading station 5 do not fall out of the receiving pockets 9 in the undershot transport area of the conveying member 4, a holding device (not shown in the drawing) is provided on the receiving pockets 9, or the receiving pocket can be used for the same purpose after loading Envelope 2 is closed by the walls 14, 15 and opened again in front of the feed station 6 for the supplements 3.

Das Einstecken der Beilagen 3 in die Aufnahmetaschen 9 bei durch eine Vorrichtung 16 geöffnetem Umschlag 2 erfolgt mittels der der Anlegerreihe nachgeschaltet zugeordneten Auslage 17.
Danach werden die sich am Ende der Beschickung in der Aufnahmetasche befindenden Produkte an der Innenseite der nachlaufenden Wand 15 aneinandergelegt bzw. zusammengefasst und durch die von oben eintauchenden Greifzangen 11 entnommen bzw. abgeführt.The inserts 3 are inserted into the receiving pockets 9 when the envelope 2 is opened by a device 16 by means of the delivery 17 assigned to the row of feeders.
Thereafter, the products located at the end of the loading in the receiving pocket are placed against one another or combined on the inside of the trailing wall 15 and removed or removed by the gripping pliers 11 which are immersed from above.

Alternativ kann gemäss Fig. 2 der die Beilagen 3 zusammenfassende Umschlag 2 vor dessen Überführung in das Förderorgan 4 von einer aufgewickelten Papierbahn 18 über eine Bogenschneid-19 und Falzvorrichtung 20 hergestellt werden.
Ein Adressiergerät 21 zwischen Falzvorrichtung 20 und Förderorgan 4 sorgt für ein versandfertiges Produkt.
Der Umschlag 2 könnte durch einen Klebefalz ausgebildet sein, der dem vollständigen Umfassen der Beilagen dient.Alternatively, according to FIG. 2, the envelope 2 summarizing the supplements 3 can be produced from a wound paper web 18 via a sheet-cutting 19 and folding device 20 before it is transferred to the conveying member 4.
An addressing device 21 between the folding device 20 and the conveying element 4 ensures that the product is ready for dispatch.
The envelope 2 could be formed by an adhesive fold, which serves to completely enclose the inserts.

Eine andere Möglichkeit, die Beilagen 3 zusammenzufassen oder zu umfassen, zeigt Fig. 3.
Bei der dort teilweise dargestellten Einrichtung 1 werden die Aufnahmetaschen 9 des Förderorgans 4 vorerst von einem Folienband 22 an der Beschikkungsstation 5 ausgekleidet, um anschliessend mit Beilagen 3 beschickt zu werden. Die innere Auskleidung erfolgt durch eine Einzugsvorrichtung 23, die die etwa in Umfangnähe herangeführte Folie von aussen in die Aufnahmetaschen 9 zieht.
Die Einzugsvorrichtung 23 verbleibt solange am unteren Ende der Aufnahmetaschen 9, bis diese mit der ersten Beilage 3 beschickt ist. Danach wird sie aus der Aufnahmetasche 9 entfernt und an der Beschickungsstation 5 wieder in die Zustellposition versetzt.
Am äusseren Rand wenigstens einer Wand 14, 15 der Aufnahmetaschen 9 ist eine Schweissvorrichtung 24 angebracht, welche durch Schliessen der Aufnahmetaschen 9 die am Umfang des Förderorgans 4 sich befindende Folienbahn 22 zu einem die Beilagen 3 vollständig umfassenden Umschlag verschweisst.
Anschliessend werden die Aufnahmetaschen 9 oberhalb der Drehachse des Förderorgans 4 geöffnet und die paketähnlichen Gebinde mit den Druckprodukten durch eine angedeutete Ausstossvorrichtung 25 aus dem Förderorgan 4 auf eine Fördervorrichtung 26 versetzt und weitertransportiert.Another possibility of combining or enclosing the supplements 3 is shown in FIG. 3.
In the device 1 partially shown there, the receiving pockets 9 of the conveying member 4 are initially of a film tape 22 lined at the loading station 5 in order to then be loaded with inserts 3. The inner lining is provided by a drawing-in device 23, which pulls the film, which is brought approximately in circumference, from the outside into the receiving pockets 9.
The feed device 23 remains at the lower end of the receiving pockets 9 until it is loaded with the first insert 3. Then it is removed from the receiving pocket 9 and moved back to the delivery position at the loading station 5.
On the outer edge of at least one wall 14, 15 of the receiving pockets 9, a welding device 24 is attached, which, by closing the receiving pockets 9, welds the film web 22 located on the circumference of the conveying member 4 to an envelope that completely encompasses the supplements 3.
The receiving pockets 9 are then opened above the axis of rotation of the conveying member 4 and the package-like containers with the printed products are moved from the conveying member 4 onto a conveying device 26 by an indicated ejection device 25 and transported further.
