Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device is known for example from the document US-3,180,638. With such a device, in a phase of the union between the remaining sheet stack and the main sheet stack, there is a gap maintained by the bars, which gap closes in the final phase of the union while lowering the remaining stack by the height of the cross section of the bars.
  • the mentioned lowering of the remaining sheet stack has a disadvantageous effect in that a disturbance variable which increases suddenly to a relatively high value must be processed in corresponding controlled systems.
  • the invention has for its object to design a generic device so that when used in conjunction with a sheet feeder of a printing machine no malfunctions occur on this, which are due to the sagging of the remaining sheet stack in the final phase of the union. This object is achieved with a device specified in claim 1.
  • a device according to the invention also has the advantage that, when used in conjunction with a sheet feeder of a printing press, said operational disturbances can be avoided without interventions in the control paths provided there.
  • a stack arrangement is only indicated schematically with dash-dotted lines.
  • a remaining sheet stack 1 and a main sheet stack 2 are shown in a phase of the union in which the remaining sheet stack 1 with its lowermost sheet is seated on horizontally arranged lattice bars 3 of a displacement device, generally designated 4, and the main sheet stack 2 with its uppermost sheet from below against the lattice bars 3 is employed, which are in the position shown in dash-dotted lines, displaced in relation to the position drawn in the longitudinal direction of the bars 3 in the longitudinal direction.
  • the free ends of the lattice bars 3 projecting beyond a side surface of the stack arrangement are supported in a known manner by means of an auxiliary cross member 5 which can be seen in cross section in FIG. 1.
  • the main sheet stack 2 sits with its lowest sheet on a stack support plate 6.
  • a sheet stack seated on such a stack support plate is raised to the same extent as known during the production by means of known lifting mechanisms The height of the sheet stack decreases until it finally becomes a remaining sheet stack.
  • the shifting device 4 in connection with a feeder of a printing machine, the bottom sheet stack with its bottom sheet before the combination with the main stack 2 is also initially seated on a stack support plate designated 6 in FIG. 1, until after the bottom sheet stack 1 has been undertaken is removed by means of the bars 3 in a known manner while lowering by means of the lifting mechanism mentioned.
  • This stack support plate 6 is provided on its horizontally oriented top in a manner known per se with mutually parallel grooves 7.
  • a group of the parallel bars 3 is combined to form a rake 8.
  • the cross sections of the bars 3 and the grooves 7 are coordinated so that the bars 3 can be inserted in the longitudinal direction in the grooves 7 so that the remaining sheet stack 1 is underpinned by the bars 3 in a phase of union.
  • a side part is formed with a guide rail 9 and a front leg of the frame 12 is formed with the stop rail 10.
  • the frame 12 which is detached from the displacement device 4 in FIG. 3 and shown in a position corresponding to the position in FIG. 2, is furthermore attached to a front end located on the left in FIG. 3 by means of a first cross strut and to an in by means of a second cross strut 14 Fig. 3 right rear end of the guide rail 9 stiffened.
  • a respective guide rail 9 is composed of an upper guide rod 15 and a lower guide rod 16.
  • the respective upper guide rod 15 serves as a straight guide for the rake 8, which is detached from the displacement device 4 in FIG. 7 and is shown in a position corresponding to the position in FIG. 2.
  • This rake 8 is formed from a bridge 17 in which the bars 3, as can be seen most clearly in FIG. 8, are clamped at one of their ends.
  • the bridge 17 extends transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bars 3 and has bridge bearings in the form of straight guide profiles 18 which encompass a respective upper guide rod 15 of one of the guide rails 9.
  • For one of the straight guide profiles 18, their connection to a respective upper guide rod 15 is shown in FIG. 9, the upper and lower guide rods 15 and 16 each being shown in broken lines.
  • the guide rails 9 and the bars 3 run parallel to each other, so that the Rake 8 is displaceably mounted relative to the frame 12 in the longitudinal direction of the bars 3.
  • the frame 12 is in turn mounted displaceably within the displacement device 4 in the longitudinal direction of the bars 3 and in the horizontal direction transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bars 3.
  • the displacement device 4 is equipped with a cross slide 21.
  • the cross slide 21 shown in FIG. 11 and displaced in a position corresponding to the position in FIG. 2 extends transversely to the bars 3 from a guide rail 9 on a first longitudinal side of the frame 12 to the opposite guide rail 9 on a second longitudinal side of the frame 12 and has the straight guide profiles 22 (FIGS. 9, 10) provided on the rake 8.
  • These straight guide profiles 22 encompass a respective lower guide rod 16 of a respective guide rail 9.
  • the frame 12 thus forms one of the cross slides 21 in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars 3 guided first slide of a telescopic slide, the second slide of which also in the longitudinal direction of the Lattice bars 3 is shown displaceably on the frame 12 mounted rake 8.
  • the cross slide 21 is equipped with further straight guide profiles 23 oriented transversely to the lattice bars 3 (see FIGS. 12, 13).
  • the displacement device 4 also has a slide guide bed 24. Detached from the displacement device 4 in FIG. 15 and in a slide guide bed 24 shown in a position corresponding to the position in FIG. 2, there are horizontally extending straight guide tracks 25 oriented transversely to the bars 3, which engage with the straight guide profiles 23 provided on the cross slide 21 stand.
  • the cross slide 21 is arranged horizontally displaceable transversely to the longitudinal direction of the bars 3.
  • an automatic displacement of the frame 12 relative to the cross slide 21 is provided.
  • a piston-cylinder arrangement having a first cylinder 26 and a second cylinder 27 and effective between the cross slide 21 on the one hand and the frame 12 on the other hand is provided.
  • the first cylinder 26 is flanged to a guide head 28 which is guided by means of a slideway 29 fastened to the cross slide 21 in the longitudinal direction of the lattice bars 3, while the piston rod of this first cylinder 26 is articulated to a bracket 30 fastened to the cross slide 21 (see FIG. 11, 13, 14).
  • the second cylinder 27 is articulated at one end to the guide head 28, while the end of the piston rod of the second cylinder 27 facing away from this end is connected in an articulated manner to a further bracket 31, which in turn is attached to the frame 12.
  • the slide guide bed 24 is designed as a lifting truck which can be moved vertically along a lifting frame 32 (see FIG. 18). To move the lifting truck along the lifting frame 32, the slide guide bed 24 is connected to a lifting drive 36 via a traction means 35, such as a chain or a toothed belt (see FIG. 1).
  • a traction means 35 such as a chain or a toothed belt (see FIG. 1).
  • an automatic displacement of the cross slide 21 relative to the slide guide bed 24 is also provided.
  • a linear actuator 33 is attached to the slide guide bed 24 and a push rod of the linear actuator 33 is articulated on a further bracket 34, which is attached to the cross slide 21.
  • the device described above has drive means designed to move the rake 8 in such a way that in the final phase of the merging of the rake 8 its travel takes place at speeds which follow a speed profile which in at least one end section of the travel has a lower speed than that average speed given by the speed profile.
  • a damping cylinder 48 is provided on the rake 8, which slows down the speed of the bands of the band cylinders 19 along a last section of the displacement path of the rake 8 that is moved against the direction of insertion.
  • the free end of the piston rod of the damping cylinder 48 is supported on the cross strut 14 of the frame 12 (see FIGS. 1, 3) during said section of the displacement path of the rake 8.
  • a spindle drive arrangement with a speed-controlled motor 49 is provided in a further exemplary embodiment for moving the rake 8.
  • This motor 49 and a threaded spindle 50 driven by it are arranged on the frame 12 (see FIG. 20).
  • the threaded spindle 50 engages in a spindle nut 51 which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a guide plate 52 fastened to the bridge 17 of the rake 8.
  • the speed profile mentioned is achieved by correspondingly controlling the speed of the motor 49.
