Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for feeding flat products to a processing device for printed products.
  • a device of this type is disclosed in the older CH patent application No. 03250 / 91-8 with the title "Device for gluing inserts to printed products”.
  • This has a belt conveyor which feeds inserts spaced apart from one another to a takeover area. There, the inserts are taken over by a transfer conveyor and conveyed past an adhesive application device and fed to a drum-like processing device for printed products, the inserts being brought to the printed products by means of the transfer conveyor and pressed on for gluing.
  • the transfer conveyor has several flat holders with suction heads or controlled grippers for taking over and conveying the inserts.
  • the holders are rotatably mounted on pivot levers, which in turn are articulated on a wheel-like, rotatably driven support member.
  • Handlebars continue to engage on the brackets, which are also pivotally mounted on the other side of the support member and which are coupled to an epicyclic gear to control the pivoting position.
  • the holders are directed approximately tangentially to their orbit and are pivoted in the same direction in the course of about half a turn of the support member by the epicyclic gear to the support member, so that they are now oriented approximately at right angles to their orbit.
  • each holder is moved forward in the direction of rotation with respect to the support member in order to bring the insert onto a printing product placed astride a saddle-shaped support of the processing device and press it on. The holder then releases the attached insert and is brought to the takeover area in order to take over an insert.
  • Another device for gluing flat products in the printed product is disclosed in DE-A-21 35 303.
  • Two application heads equipped with a gripper device are fixedly arranged on an endless, rotating conveyor element.

  • the transfer conveyor 22 is arranged below the conveyor device 16 and is essentially of the same design as described above and shown in FIGS. 1 to 5. This is expressly referred to. The differences to this are described in detail below.
  • U driven pulleys 46 are hinged in the same way via pivoting levers 52 clamps 20, the pivoting position about the pivot axis 32 in turn via a handlebar 64 acting on the first jaw 54, depending is controlled by the pivot position of the pivot lever 52.
  • the pivot position of the pivot lever 52 is given via the control roller 74 which is guided in the control link 76 of the link plate 78.
  • the second jaw 56 is in the closed position against the first jaw 54 biased and is brought into the open position by means of the opening gate 86, which cooperates with the follower roller 82.
  • the follower roller 82 is mounted on the crank 80 and is connected to the second clamping jaw 56 via the coupling 84.
  • a follow-up backdrop 88 is also provided, which interacts with the follow-up roller 82 in the transfer area 28.
  • the clamps 20 on the first clamping jaw 54 have no pressure roller 62.
  • no lateral guide surfaces 98 and guide profiles 100 are provided.
  • the guide plate 96 guides the products 10 in the area of their leading edge 10 ′′ when they are introduced into the receiving parts 34 of the processing device 12 designed in the manner of a drum.
  • the transfer conveyor 22 is preceded by the adhesive application device 102, the distance of which, measured in the vertical direction, from the orbit of the gripper 134 is smaller than the length of the products 10, so that the area adjacent to the trailing edge 10 'is slid over the adhesive application device 102 and the adhesive application 104 can apply.
  • the distance between the conveying device 16 and the transfer conveyor 22 is substantially smaller than the length of the products 10 from their leading edge 10 ′′ to the trailing edge 10 ′, so that the product fed to the transfer region 18 with its central region onto a clamp 20 and with its trailing edge 10 'on which this bracket 20, seen in the direction of rotation U, trailing outer surface 94 of the support disks 46 comes to rest.
  • the pivoting levers 52 due to the shape of the control link 76, are pivoted forward in the area following the takeover area 18 in the same direction of rotation as the direction of rotation U until they are approximately in the transfer area 28 run in the radial direction.
  • the quadrilateral control of the pivoting position of the clamps 20 via the links 64 they pivot in the opposite direction of rotation S in the direction of rotation U.
  • the clamp jaw 26 is thus directed towards the relevant receiving part 34 of the processing device 12.
  • the transfer conveyor 22 and the processing device 12 are matched to one another in such a way that a clamp 20 reaching the transfer area 28 is seen in the direction of rotation V of the drum-like processing device 12, approximately in the middle between two Walls 36 and thus a receiving part 34 comes to rest. Since the clamp speed v'2 is greater than the peripheral speed v3 of the supports 38 of the processing device 12, the clamp 20 now catches up in the transfer area 28, seen in the direction of rotation U and direction of rotation V, leading wall 36. The product 10 is brought into contact with this wall 36 or with a printed product 40 lying against this wall 36. The product 10 is then released by opening the relevant clamp 20.
  • Different possibilities of transferring the products 10 to the processing device 12 will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15.
  • FIG. 11 shows a part of the transfer conveyor 22 and the processing device 12, which enlarges the embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
  • the position of a clamp 20 feeding a product 10 to the processing device 12 and a printed product 40 straddling a wall 36 of the processing device 12 are shown at intervals of half a work cycle.
  • the position of the bracket 20 at the full work cycles can be seen in that the linkage to the support member 30 is shown. Only a part of the bracket 20 is shown shifted by half a working cycle.
  • the wall 36 is only shown in the positions it occupies during the full work cycles. Only the printed product 40 is indicated in between.
  • the product 10 held by the clamp 20 slides with its leading edge 10 ′′ along the guide plate 96. This ends at a short distance from the orbit
  • the processing device 12 and the transfer conveyor 22 are synchronized in such a way that the leading edge 10 ′′ of the product 10 penetrates into a receiving part 34 approximately in the middle.
  • the pivot lever 52 has not yet been pivoted completely into the transfer position. The remaining pivotal movement has the result that the product 10 is inserted into the receiving part 34 at an increased speed and at the same time the difference between the clamp speed v'2 and rotational speed v3 of the support 38 is increased.
  • the clamp 20 catches up the leading wall 36 in the takeover area 18 and presses the product against the printed product 40 with its pressure roller 62, which is supported by the wall 36 acting as a counter bearing 90. Since the clamp speed v'2 is greater than the rotational speed v3, the first jaw 54 is pivoted counter-clockwise against the force of the spring element 68. The follower link 88 cooperating with the follower roller 82 prevents the second jaw 56, which is resiliently biased against the first jaw 54, from following this pivoting movement. This opens the clamp 20 and at the same time presses the product 10 against the counter bearing 90. In the course of the further movement, the pressure roller 62 now rolls on the product 10 and presses its adhesive application 104 onto the printed product 40. This ensures reliable bonding.
  • the clamp 20 closes, insofar as the link 64 and the follow link 88 allow this.
  • the clip 20 is closed completely at the latest when the following roller 82 runs from the following backdrop 88.
  • the pivot lever 52 is then pivoted back into the take-over position, as a result of which the clamp jaw 26 is again directed forward in the direction of rotation U.
  • the clamp 20 approaches the takeover area 18, it is opened as a result of the action of the opening link 86, whereby it is ready for the detection of a product 10.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 10 functions in the same way as described above. The only difference is that the free end region of the first clamping jaw 54 acts as a sliding shoe when the product 10 is pressed against the counter bearing 90.
  • FIG. 12 corresponds exactly to FIG. 11, only the distance between the axis of rotation 24 of the transfer conveyor 22 (see FIG. 1) and the axis of rotation of the drum-like processing device 12 being reduced. The consequence of this is that the clips 20 engage deeper in the receiving parts 34 and the products 10 are thus glued to the printed products 40 at a corresponding other location. It should be noted that the supports 38 engage in the recesses 92 of the support disks 46 without contact.
  • FIG. 13 also shows the transfer conveyor 22 and the drum-like processing device 12 according to FIG. 1 in an enlarged manner in the transfer area 28.
  • the only difference from the variant according to FIG. 11 is that the products 10 are not provided with an adhesive application.
  • the products 10 are in turn with their leading edge 10 ′′ ahead by means of the transfer conveyor 22 in a receiving part 34 of the processing device 12 is inserted.
  • the relevant clamp 20 in turn catches up with the leading wall 36 and presses the product 10 with its pressure roller 62 against the printed product 40 supported by the wall 36 acting as a counter bearing 90.
  • the clamp 20 is in turn opened in that, as a result of the action of the counter bearing 90 the first clamping jaw 54, counter to the action of the spring element 68, is pivoted counterclockwise and the following jaw 88 is prevented from following the pivoting movement 56 by the following link 88. As soon as the pressure roller 62 has rolled on the product 10, it falls into the bottom of the receiving part 34.
  • the processing device 12 has a processing conveyor 136, the conveyor belt 138 of which is driven in the transfer area 28 in the direction of removal W, the direction of rotation U in the same direction.
  • the conveying speed v3 is less than the rotational speed v'2 of the pressure rollers 62 of the clamps 20 in the transfer area 28.
  • On the conveyor belt 138 there are printed products 40, onto each of which a product 10 is deposited and optionally glued.
  • the conveyor belt 138 is supported by a support element 140 so that it can serve as a counter bearing 90.
  • the transfer conveyor 22 is of exactly the same design, as shown in FIGS.
  • the products 10 are deposited on the printed products 40 by means of the transfer conveyor 22, the leading edge 10 ′′ now becoming trailing with respect to the trailing edge 10 ′ due to the pivoting movement of the clamps 20. Since the uninfluenced orbit of the pressure roller 62 cuts the conveyor belt 138, the pressure roller 62, under the force of the spring element 68, in turn presses the product 10 against the printed product 40, as a result of which the first clamping jaw 54 is pivoted counterclockwise. As a result of the action of the counter bearing 90, the conveyor belt 138 cannot evade the action of the first clamping jaw 54. The follow link 88 in turn prevents the second clamping jaw 56 from following the pivoting movement of the first clamping jaw 54, as a result of which the clamp 20 is opened.
  • the product 10 is again pressed onto the printed product 40. If the product 10 is provided with an adhesive application 104, this in turn leads to a secure adhesive connection. If there is no adhesive application 104 on the product 10, it is securely guided onto the corresponding printed product 40 or, if there is none, on the conveyor belt 138.
  • control link 76 in such a way that the pivoting of the pivoting levers 52 from the transfer position back into the transfer position already begins in the transfer area 28, while the product 10 is still pressed on.
  • the distance between the clamps 20 is greater than the distance between the trailing edges 10 'of the takeover area 18 Products 10.
  • the distance between the clamps 20 in the transfer area 28 is greater than the distance between the supports 38.
  • the wall 36 leading in front of a clamp 20 is brought about solely by the pivoting movement of the pivot levers 52.
