Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gripper for a conveyor device for conveying single or multi-sheet printed products, such as newspapers, magazines and parts thereof, as well as supplements therefor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This invention is based on the object of providing a gripper with which a more compact design compared to a known gripper of this type, as described in DE-A-31 02 242 (and the corresponding US-A-4,381,056), a more even distribution of the clamping force or larger clamping forces can be achieved.
  • the grippers 10 shown in the figures have a first gripper part 11, the leg of which is designated by 12, and a second gripper part 13, the leg of which is designated by 14. When the grippers 10 are open, the two gripper parts 11 and 13 define a gripper opening 15.
  • the first gripper part 11 can be pivoted with respect to the second gripper part 13 in a manner still to be described and is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in its closed position, in which its free end 12a and the free end 14a of the second gripper part 13 for clamping a printed product (in Figures 1 and 2 not shown) cooperates.
  • the second gripper part 13 is formed in one piece with a support part 16 which is pivotally mounted on a hollow shaft 17, the longitudinal axis of which is designated 17 '.
  • the shaft 17, which, as can be seen from the figures, is provided with longitudinal grooves, is rotatably mounted in a bracket 18 with a U-shaped cross section, which is fastened to a link chain 19 which is guided in a guide channel 20 (see FIG. 2).
  • this endless link chain 19, which is of a known type a large number of grippers 10 are attached at regular intervals, which in a known manner belong to a conveying device for conveying printed products, as described, for example, in EP-A-0 330 868 ( and the corresponding US-A-4,953,847).
  • FIG. 1 The conveying direction of this conveying device is shown in FIG. 1 with an arrow denoted by F. As can be seen from this figure 1, the gripper opening 15 points backwards with respect to this conveying direction F.
  • a bearing part 21 for the first gripper part 11 is also connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the shaft 17.
  • the latter is pivoted and tiltable in this bearing part 21 by means of a ball joint 22 in a manner to be described.
  • the ball joint 22 has a socket part 23 formed in the bearing part 21, in which a ball part 24 is held, which is formed at the end of the leg 12 of the first gripper part 11.
  • the ball joint 22 is designed in the manner of a snap connection, ie the first gripper part 11 can be pressed into the socket part 23 in a simple manner with its ball part 24 when the gripper 10 is assembled.
  • the first gripper part 11 can be pivoted on the one hand about an axis 25 which runs essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis 17 'of the carbon shaft 17.
  • the first gripper part 11 is pivoted away from or towards the second gripper part 13.
  • the spherical mounting of the first gripper part 11 also allows the first gripper part 11 to tilt about a tilt axis 26, which is formed by the longitudinal axis running from the ball joint 22 to the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11, as can be seen in FIG. 2 .
  • This possibility of tilting the first gripper part 11 about this tilt axis 26 also allows printed products which have different thicknesses across the width of the gripper 10 to be held securely.
  • the latter is arranged between two guide walls 21a, 21b (FIG. 2) formed on the bearing part 21.
  • the ball joint 22 is offset from the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11 in relation to the longitudinal axis 17 'of the hollow shaft 17 and thus the pivot axis of the bearing part 21.
  • the movable gripper part 11 is mounted outside the actual gripper axis, which is formed by the longitudinal axis 17 'of the hollow shaft 17, which also forms the pivot axis for the second gripper part 13 and thus for the entire gripper 10.
  • a compression spring 27 is supported on the bearing part 21 for the first gripper part 11, which is supported at the other end on the leg 12 of the first gripper part 11 and brings this gripper part 11 into contact with the bottom 21c of the bearing part 21 (FIG. 3).
  • a rotational movement of the shaft 17 and thus also of the bearing part 21 is transmitted counterclockwise via this compression spring 27 to the first gripper part 11, which does not result in the latter being pivoted out of one in the figures Open position shown in the clamped position, which is shown in Figure 4.
  • a locking lever 28 is connected to the shaft 17 in a rotationally fixed manner, the pivot axis of which coincides with the longitudinal axis 17 'of the hollow shaft 17.
  • the locking lever 28 carries a follower roller 29 which can be freely rotated.
  • this follower roller 29 interacts with the stationary closing link 30, of which a closing link is shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
  • a locking device which has a locking lever 31 which is pivotably mounted on the support part 16.
  • This locking lever 31 has at one end a locking lug 32, which cooperates with a locking member 33 for locking the bearing part 21, which is connected at one end to the hollow shaft 17 in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • This blocking element 33 is completely visible in FIG. 1 and partially cut away in FIG. 2.
  • the locking lever 31 is held in its locked position by means of a spring, not shown.
  • the end 31a of the two-armed locking lever 31 opposite the latching lug 32 is intended to cooperate with opening scenes, not shown in the figures, which cause the locking lever 31 to pivot out of the locked position into a release position.
  • a positioning follower roller 34 is arranged on the support part 16 for the second gripper part 13 on the same side as the locking lever 31 and is freely rotatable. This positioning follower roller 34 interacts with positioning links 35, by means of which the pivot position of the second gripper part 13 and thus of the open and closed gripper 10 is determined. It understands It is clear that the positioning links 35 must be designed in accordance with the respectively desired pivot position of the grippers 10.
  • a control cam 36 is provided on the support part 16 for the second gripper part 13 on the side opposite the positioning follower roller 34.
  • this control cam 36 By interaction of this control cam 36 with control links, of which a link 37 is shown in FIG. 2, the support part 16 and thus the second gripper part 13 is pivoted into a position which is favorable for the interaction of the positioning follower roller 34 and the stationary positioning link 35.
  • the compression spring 27 is already tensioned.
  • this, ie the second gripper part 13 is optionally pre-positioned by the control cam 36 and the link 37 cooperating with it and then by the positioning link 35 acting on the positioning follower roller 34 into the desired product receiving position, which is shown in FIGS 4 is shown, brought and held in this.
  • the Closing link 30 for acting on the follower roller 29 of the closing lever 28 which is thereby pivoted counterclockwise. This results in a corresponding rotation of the hollow shaft 17 and thus also of the bearing part 21.
  • the rotational movement of the bearing part 21 is transmitted via the compression spring 27 to the leg 12 of the first gripper part 11 without the compression spring 27 being initially tensioned further.
  • the first gripper part 11 is thereby pivoted in the direction of the second gripper part 13 and thus against the clamping position. If the closing lever 28 has now reached its position shown in FIG. 3, the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11 comes into contact with the product P to be clamped, which lies on the leg 14 of the second gripper part 13 with the side lying underneath. In this position, the compression spring 27 already exerts a certain clamping force. As can be seen from FIG. 3, the locking member 33 already begins to run onto the locking lug 32 of the locking lever 31.
  • the end 12a of the first gripper part 11 moves along an arc K 1 to the point designated by 1 in FIG.
  • the center of the circular arc K 1 lies on the longitudinal axis 17 'of the hollow shaft 17 (which is also the pivot axis of the bearing part 21).
  • the radius of the circular arc K 1 is designated R 1 .
  • the first gripper part 11 located in this intermediate position is indicated by dash-dotted lines, the ball joint 22 assuming the position denoted by 1.
  • the ball joint 22 ' is moved into the position denoted by 2 in FIG. 5, while the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11 resting on the printed product P initially moves backwards by the distance b into the position likewise denoted by 2.
  • This displacement of the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11 exerts a tensile effect on the printed product P which tends to push the printed product a little further into the gripper 10.
  • the free end 12a of the first gripper part then becomes when the first gripper part 11 is pivoted further along an arc K 2 moves, the center of which lies on the pivot axis 25 determined by the ball joint 22 'and the radius of which is denoted by R 2 .
  • the end 12a of the first gripper part 11 moves along the circular arc K 1 until this end 12a strikes a printed product.
  • the aforementioned rearward movement of the end 12a of the gripper part 11 is therefore extremely small or practically nonexistent in the case of thin products.
  • c denotes the width of the gripper opening 15 that can be used for gripping printed products of different thicknesses.
  • the ball joint 22 or the pivot axis 25 of the first clamping part 11 defined thereby is backwards by the distance a with respect to the pivot axis 17 'of the bearing part 21, ie in a direction from the free end 12a of the first Gripper part 11 away, offset.
  • an extension of the leg 12 of the first gripper part 11 in the direction away from the line of action 38 (FIG. 5) of the compression spring 27 is obtained.
  • the part of the leg 12 lying between the line of application 38 of the compression spring 27 and the free end 12a need not of the first gripper part 11 can be extended, which enables a compact design with the shortest possible gripper legs 12, 14.
  • this pivot bearing can be designed as a ball joint 22 which, as explained, enables the first gripper part 11 to tilt somewhat about its longitudinal axis 26 (see FIG. 2).
  • the position of the first gripper part 11 can thus be adapted to a printed product P, even if this should have a different thickness over its width. This means that in the area of the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11 there is an essentially equally strong clamping of the printed product P over its entire width d (FIG. 2), even if the latter is unevenly thick. This ensures that the printed products are properly clamped.
  • FIG. 6 shows a gripper 10 which corresponds in construction to the gripper shown in FIGS. 1-4, but which is pivoted into a position in which the gripper opening 15 runs ahead in the direction of movement F of the gripper 10. From the representations of Figures 1 and 6 it can be seen how large the usable swivel range is, i.e. in which different positions the gripper 10 can grasp or deliver printed products.
  • a clamping member 39 facing the other gripper part 11 is provided on the second gripper part 13 in the region of its free end 14a and serves to clamp a printed product P '.
  • the clamping member 39 has a clamping surface 39a which, when the gripper 10 is closed, lies opposite the end 12a of the gripper part 11 and runs approximately parallel to it.
  • the printed product P ' is held in a certain, defined position between the clamping surface 39a of the clamping member 39 and the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11.
  • the displacement of the pivot axis 25 of the first gripper part 11 relative to the pivot axis 17 'of the bearing part 21 provides freedom in the design of the pivot bearing for this first gripper part 11.
  • the design of this pivot bearing as a ball joint 22 creates the possibility that the first gripper part 11 can perform a certain tilting movement about its longitudinal axis 26.
  • the pivot bearing can also be designed differently to enable the first gripper part 11, in addition to one Pivoting movement about an axis 25 running essentially parallel to the pivot axis 17 'of the bearing part 21 also has to perform a tilting movement about the longitudinal axis 26 of the first gripper part 11, which essentially runs from the pivot bearing 22 to the free end 12a of the first gripper part 11.
  • the gripper parts 11 and 13 can be produced from plastic. It is not necessary for the legs 12, 14 of the gripper parts 11, 13 to be very flexible. However, it is now also possible to design at least the leg 12 of the first gripper part 11 as a spiral spring and to arrange an essentially inelastic transmission element on the bearing part 21 instead of the compression spring 27, which is approximately in the direction of the line of action 38 (FIG. 5) on the leg 12 of the acts first gripper part 11 and takes it first and then bends at the end of the closing process described with reference to Figures 3 and 4, so as to generate the desired clamping force at the free end of the first gripper part 11.
