Definitions
- the invention relates to a product delivery system for folders on rotary printing presses, comprising a cutting unit which divides printed material webs into a plurality of printed copies, and a puncture cylinder, of which cross-folded copies either a device for producing the second longitudinal fold and these downstream output units, or another , can be fed from the puncture cylinder from the loading unit for cross-folded products.
- a paper folding machine for use on a rotary printing press is already known from DE 29 21 383 C2. After passing through a cutting unit, the individual copies are picked up by a triple-sized collecting cylinder, which is followed by two further double-sized folding cylinders. From an upper double-size folding cylinder, the specimens are conveyed into a retard belt from two pairs of conveyor belts rotating at different belt speeds. There they are delayed and reach a stack that continuously lowers during production. There is no possibility of further transport from this dormant copy edition.
- the copies are taken from the lower of the double-sized folding cylinders, they are fed to a device for producing a second longitudinal fold.
- the copies come in different orientations Paddle wheels. If copies are produced without a second longitudinal fold, these are conveyed by a paddle wheel onto a conveyor belt train in a stacker and arranged upright there. However, if the copies are produced with a second longitudinal fold, the stacker must be rotated at least 90 ° in order to work with the paddle wheel assigned to this type of copy. Accordingly, in the vicinity of the folder, all the conceivable stacking positions are required. It should be noted that it is not possible to transport items from the upper delivery unit.
- No. 4,986,730 discloses a stacker connection to an upstream processing machine, in which flat products deflected at an angle of 45 ° are guided against the stops of a stacker and in this way align themselves correctly on the stack to be formed.
- the conveyor system disclosed here also enables the specimen to be fed only on one transport level; Since it is only geared towards one specimen transport route, it is of little use for other delivery options on the same processing machine because it is too inflexible.
- One of the systems disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,986,730 would therefore be required on multiple copy displays of a processing machine. In addition to the use of expensive floor space, there are also avoidable costs.
- the object of the invention is to feed copies of a stationary stacking unit to different locations on the folder, depending on the production mode.
- this object is achieved in that the placement of copies from specimen delivery units which can optionally be loaded depending on the production mode into a first transport plane formed from delivery belts and comprising a 90 ° swivel or into a second transport plane formed from a delivery belt within the folding apparatus, which takes place by means of a pivotable switch can be connected to a stacking unit.
- a copy delivery unit can be arranged after a longitudinal folding module. Via conveyor belts of the longitudinal folding module into a specimen delivery unit arranged downstream of this, copies can be fed to a processing unit via a delivery belt arranged in an alternative position in the first transport level. This allows the copy delivery concept to be implemented even in the case of folders with differently arranged paddle wheels.
- FIG. 1 of a folder base frame 2 resting on a foundation 1 comprises a second longitudinal folding module 3, as well as a superstructure 4 upstream of the folder base frame 2, in which a first longitudinal folding device 29 is mounted so as to be laterally displaceable. Due to the lateral displaceability of the first longitudinal folding device 29, the position of the copies on the circumference of transverse folding cylinders 12, 13, 14 can be varied. Underneath the superstructure 4 there is a drive 6, by means of which the pulling roller pairs feeding the material web are driven. This in turn is followed by a cutting unit 28, by means of which the material web can be subdivided into a large number of printed copies. The cutting unit 28 is also operated by its own drive 7.
- the individual specimens separated from the material web enter conveyor belts 9 which extend below the cutting unit 28 and which run around deflecting rollers 10.
- the conveyor belts 9 can be driven via a drive 8 and can be brought into a pivoted position 9 'by adjusting means, not shown here, so that 11 pockets can be fed to individual pockets of a paddle wheel.
- a delivery belt 17 is designed, which is part of a first transport level.
- the gripper cylinder 12 comprises folding blades and gripper bridges, while the folding jaw cylinder 13 is equipped with folding blades and folding jaws.
- the gripper cylinder 14 downstream of the folding jaw cylinder 13 has gripper bridges and folding jaws, which, however, are not the subject of the present invention.
- a pair of conveyor rollers 15 is arranged downstream of the gripper cylinder 14. If copies are produced without a second longitudinal fold, the copies pass from the pair of conveying rollers 15 into a paddle wheel 16 located underneath them. Below the paddle wheel 16 there is a delivery belt 20, which in turn is part of the first transport plane and through the delivery belts 18 and 19 with the one already mentioned Delivery belt 17 is connected.
- copies with a second longitudinal fold are to be produced, the copies are transferred from the pair of conveyor rollers 15 to conveyor belts 23, which convey the cross-folded copies into the second longitudinal fold module 3.
- a folder 24 moving up and down above the conveyor belts 23 pushes the specimens into the folding rollers to produce the second longitudinal fold, from where they reach a blade wheel 25 rotated 90 ° below the folding rollers 16 to the impeller 16.
- a delivery belt 22 forming the second transport plane is located below the paddle wheel 25 for the delivery of the longitudinally folded copies.
- the lower belt roller 27 forms the interface of the folder to a downstream processing unit such as a stacker.
- the delivery of copies provided with a second longitudinal fold is carried out by the paddle wheel 25 onto the second transport level, the interface to a further processing unit being formed by a further belt roller 27 lying above the belt roller 27 already mentioned.
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the transport planes which extend below the copy delivery units within the folder and which can be connected to a stacker.
- the folder base frame 2 extends essentially the first transport level, which from the Delivery bands 17, 18, 19, 20 and the arcuate delivery belt 21 is formed.
- the delivery belt 22 and the curved delivery belt 21 end at vertically superposed belt rollers 27, which form the interfaces to the downstream processing unit, for example a stacker 5.
- a pivotable switch 26 which by one Belt roller 27 is pivotable.
- the delivery belt 26 can assume the solid position as well as the pivoted position denoted by 26 '.
- the first transport level and the second transport level can be connected to the stacker 5.
- the swiveling of the switch 26 into one or the other of the positions shown takes place automatically, depending on the production mode. Accordingly, the pivotable switch 26 is in line with a belt roller 27, depending on the production mode, and accepts the copies conveyed in the respective transport plane for further processing in the stacker 5.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Produktauslagesystem für Falzapparate an Rotationsdruckmaschinen, eine Schneideeinheit umfassend, welche bedruckte Materialbahnen in eine Vielzahl bedruckter Exemplare unterteilt, sowie einen Punkturzylinder, von welchem quergefalzte Exemplare entweder einer Einrichtung zur Erzeugung des zweiten Längsfalzes und dieser nachgeordneten Ausgabeeinheiten, oder einer weiteren, vom Punkturzylinder aus beaufschlagbaren Ausgabeeinheit für quergefalzte Produkte zuführbar sind.The invention relates to a product delivery system for folders on rotary printing presses, comprising a cutting unit which divides printed material webs into a plurality of printed copies, and a puncture cylinder, of which cross-folded copies either a device for producing the second longitudinal fold and these downstream output units, or another , can be fed from the puncture cylinder from the loading unit for cross-folded products.
Aus der DE 29 21 383 C2 ist bereits eine Papierfalzmaschine zur Verwendung an einer Rotationsdruckmaschine bekannt. Nach der Passage einer Schneideeinheit werden die einzelnen Exemplare von einem dreifachgroßen Sammelzylinder aufgenommen, dem zwei weitere doppeltgroße Falzzylinder nachgeordnet sind. Von einem oberen doppeltgroßen Falzzylinder werden die Exemplare in einen Verzögerungsbänderzug aus zwei mit unterschiedlichen Bandgeschwindigkeiten umlaufenden Transportbandpaaren gefördert. Dort werden sie verzögert und gelangen auf einen Stapel, der sich während der Produktion kontinuierlich absenkt. Eine Weiterbeförderungsmöglichkeit von dieser ruhenden Exemplarausgabe aus besteht nicht.A paper folding machine for use on a rotary printing press is already known from DE 29 21 383 C2. After passing through a cutting unit, the individual copies are picked up by a triple-sized collecting cylinder, which is followed by two further double-sized folding cylinders. From an upper double-size folding cylinder, the specimens are conveyed into a retard belt from two pairs of conveyor belts rotating at different belt speeds. There they are delayed and reach a stack that continuously lowers during production. There is no possibility of further transport from this dormant copy edition.
Werden die Exemplare hingegen vom unteren der doppeltgroßen Falzzylinder übernommen, werden sie einer Einrichtung zur Erzeugung eines zweiten Längsfalzes zugeführt. Je nachdem, ob Exemplare mit oder ohne zweiten Längsfalz erzeugt werden sollen, gelangen die Exemplare in unterschiedlich orientierte Schaufelräder. Werden Exemplare ohne zweiten Längsfalz erzeugt, werden diese über ein Schaufelrad auf einen Transportbänderzug in einen Stacker gefördert und dort hochkant angeordnet. Werden die Exemplare jedoch mit einem zweiten Längsfalz erzeugt, muß der Stacker zumindest um 90° gedreht werden, um mit dem dieser Exemplarart zugeordneten Schaufelrad zusammenzuarbeiten. In der Umgebung des Falzapparates wird demnach zusätzlich allen denkbaren Stackerpositionen entsprechende Stellfläche benötigt. Dabei ist zu berücksichtigen, daß ein Weitertransport von Exemplaren aus der oberen Auslageeinheit nicht möglich ist.If, on the other hand, the copies are taken from the lower of the double-sized folding cylinders, they are fed to a device for producing a second longitudinal fold. Depending on whether copies are to be produced with or without a second longitudinal fold, the copies come in different orientations Paddle wheels. If copies are produced without a second longitudinal fold, these are conveyed by a paddle wheel onto a conveyor belt train in a stacker and arranged upright there. However, if the copies are produced with a second longitudinal fold, the stacker must be rotated at least 90 ° in order to work with the paddle wheel assigned to this type of copy. Accordingly, in the vicinity of the folder, all the conceivable stacking positions are required. It should be noted that it is not possible to transport items from the upper delivery unit.
Die US 4,986,730 offenbart eine Stackeranbindung an eine vorgelagerte Verarbeitungsmaschine, bei der unter einem Winkel von 45° abgelenkte flächige Produkte gegen Anschläge eines Stackers geführt werden und sich auf diese Weise auf dem zu bildenden Stapel korrekt ausrichten. Das hier offenbarte Fördersystem ermöglicht die Exemplarzufuhr ebenfalls nur auf einer Transportebene; da es nur auf einen Exemplartransportweg ausgerichtet ist, ist es für andere Auslagemöglichkeiten an ein und derselben Verarbeitungsmaschine wenig vorteilhalft, da zu unflexibel. An mehreren Exemplarauslagen einer Verarbeitungsmaschine würde somit je eines der in US 4,986,730 offenbarten Systeme benötigt. Mithin fallen neben der Beanspruchung teurer Stellflächen auch vermeidbare Kosten an.No. 4,986,730 discloses a stacker connection to an upstream processing machine, in which flat products deflected at an angle of 45 ° are guided against the stops of a stacker and in this way align themselves correctly on the stack to be formed. The conveyor system disclosed here also enables the specimen to be fed only on one transport level; Since it is only geared towards one specimen transport route, it is of little use for other delivery options on the same processing machine because it is too inflexible. One of the systems disclosed in US Pat. No. 4,986,730 would therefore be required on multiple copy displays of a processing machine. In addition to the use of expensive floor space, there are also avoidable costs.
Den dem Stand der Technik anhaftenden Nachteilen wird durch die Erfindung abgeholfen.The disadvantages associated with the prior art are remedied by the invention.
Ausgehend vom skizzierten Stand der Technik, liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, je nach Produktionsmodus an unterschiedlichen Stellen am Falzapparat ausgelegte Exemplare einer stationären Stapeleinheit zuzuführen.Starting from the outlined state of the art, the object of the invention is to feed copies of a stationary stacking unit to different locations on the folder, depending on the production mode.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß das Auslegen von Exemplaren aus fakultativ je nach Produktionsmodus beaufschlagbaren Exemplarauslageeinheiten in eine aus Auslegebändern gebildete erste, einen 90°-Schwenk umfassende Transportebene oder in eine aus einem Auslageband gebildete zweite Transportebene innerhalb des Falzapparates erfolgt, welche mittels einer verschwenkbaren Weiche mit einer Stapeleinheit verbindbar sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the placement of copies from specimen delivery units which can optionally be loaded depending on the production mode into a first transport plane formed from delivery belts and comprising a 90 ° swivel or into a second transport plane formed from a delivery belt within the folding apparatus, which takes place by means of a pivotable switch can be connected to a stacking unit.
Die mit dieser Lösung erzielbaren Vorteile liegen einerseits darin, daß nunmehr eine definierte Position der Stapeleinheit zur Weiterverarbeitung aller geeigneten Exemplare ausreicht. Umfangreiche und verschlungene Transportpfade, die störungsanfällig sind sowie viel Stellfläche beanspruchen und die Zugänglichkeit der Falzapparatexemplarauslagen erschweren, können entfallen, da sich die Transportebenen nunmehr im unteren Teil des Falzapparates befinden. Da über die verschwenkbare Weiche beide Transportebenen mit der Stapeleinheit verbunden werden können, lassen sich sowohl eine 4 x 4 Seiten Produktion, einmal längs- und quergefalzte Exemplare oder quergefalzte und mit einem zweiten Längsfalz versehene Exemplare problemlos auslegen und einer Stapeleinheit zuführen.The advantages that can be achieved with this solution are, on the one hand, that a defined position of the stacking unit is now sufficient for further processing of all suitable copies. Comprehensive and tortuous transport paths, which are prone to malfunction and take up a lot of floor space and make it difficult to access the folder copy outlets, can be omitted, since the transport levels are now in the lower part of the folder. Since both transport levels can be connected to the stacking unit via the swiveling switch, both a 4 x 4 page production, one lengthways and crossfolded copies or crossfolded copies with a second lengthwise fold can be easily laid out and fed to a stacking unit.
Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind in den weiteren Patentansprüchen niedergelegt, wobei bei einer Ausführungsmöglichkeit eine Exemplarauslageeinheit einem Längsfalzmodul nachgeordnet sein kann. Über Transportbänder des Längsfalzmoduls in eine diesem nachgeordnete Exemplarauslageeinheit geförderte Exemplare sind über ein in einer Alternativposition in der ersten Transportebene angeordnetes Auslageband einer Verarbeitungseinheit zuführbar. Dies erlaubt eine Verwirklichung des Exemplarauslagekonzeptes auch bei Falzapparaten mit unterschiedlich angeordneten Schaufelrädern.Further features of the invention are set out in the further patent claims, wherein in one embodiment a copy delivery unit can be arranged after a longitudinal folding module. Via conveyor belts of the longitudinal folding module into a specimen delivery unit arranged downstream of this, copies can be fed to a processing unit via a delivery belt arranged in an alternative position in the first transport level. This allows the copy delivery concept to be implemented even in the case of folders with differently arranged paddle wheels.

Die in Figur 1 gezeigte Seitenansicht eines auf einem Fundament 1 ruhenden Falzapparatgrundgestelles 2 umfaßt ein zweites Längsfalzmodul 3, sowie einen dem Falzapparatgrundgestell 2 vorgelagerten Überbau 4, in dem eine erste Längsfalzeinrichtung 29 seitlich verschiebbar gelagert ist. Durch die seitliche Verschiebbarkeit der ersten Längsfalzeinrichtung 29 läßt sich die Lage der Exemplare auf dem Umfang von Querfalzzylindern 12, 13, 14 variieren. Unterhalb des Überbaus 4 befindet sich ein Antrieb 6, durch welchen die Materialbahn einziehende Zugwalzenpaare angetrieben werden. Diesen wiederum ist eine Schneideeinheit 28 nachgeordnet, durch welche die Materialbahn in eine Vielzahl bedruckter Exemplare unterteilbar ist. Die Schneideinheit 28 wird ebenfalls durch einen eigenen Antrieb 7 betrieben. Die von der Materialbahn abgetrennten einzelnen Exemplare gelangen in sich unterhalb der Schneideeinheit 28 erstreckende Transportbänder 9, die um Umlenkwalzen 10 umlaufen. Die Transportbänder 9 sind über einen Antrieb 8 antreibbar und durch hier nicht näher dargestellte Stellmittel in eine verschwenkte Position 9' bringbar, so daß einzelnen Taschen eines Schaufelrades 11 Exemplare zuführbar sind. Diese beispielsweise im Betriebsmodus 4 x 4 Seiten produzierten Exemplare werden auf ein Auslageband 17 ausgelegt, welches Bestandteil einer ersten Transportebene ist.The side view shown in FIG. 1 of a
Verbleiben die Transportbänder 9 in der in durchgezogenen Linien dargestellten Position 9, werden die in der Schneideeinheit 28 abgetrennten einzelnen Exemplare Querfalzzylindern 12, 13, 14 zugeführt. Der Greiferzylinder 12 umfaßt Falzmesser und Greiferbrücken, während der Falzklappenzylinder 13 mit Falzmessern und Falzklappen ausgestattet ist. Der dem Falzklappenzylinder 13 nachgelagerte Greiferzylinder 14 verfügt über Greiferbrücken und Falzklappen, die jedoch nicht Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung sind. Dem Greiferzylinder 14 ist ein Förderwalzenpaar 15 nachgeordnet. Falls Exemplare ohne einen zweiten Längsfalz erzeugt werden, gelangen die Exemplare vom Förderwalzenpaar 15 in ein darunter befindliches Schaufelrad 16. Unterhalb des Schaufelrades 16 befindet sich ein Auslageband 20, welches wiederum Teil der ersten Transportebene ist und durch die Auslagebänder 18 und 19 mit dem bereits erwähnten Auslageband 17 verbunden ist.If the
Sollen hingegen Exemplare mit zweitem Längsfalz produziert werden, erfolgt ein Übergang der Exemplare vom Förderwalzenpaar 15 in Transportbänder 23, welches die quergefalzten Exemplare in das zweite Längsfalzmodul 3 befördern. Durch ein oberhalb der Transportbänder 23 sich auf- und abbewegendes Falzmesser 24 werden die Exemplare zur Erzeugung des zweiten Längsfalzes in Falzwalzen eingestoßen, von wo sie in ein unterhalb der Falzwalzen um 90° zum Schaufelrad 16 gedrehtes Schaufelrad 25 gelangen. Unterhalb des Schaufelrades 25 zur Auslage der längsgefalzten Exemplare befindet sich ein die zweite Transportebene bildendes Auslageband 22.If, on the other hand, copies with a second longitudinal fold are to be produced, the copies are transferred from the pair of
Demnach erfolgt beispielsweise die Auslage einer 4 x 4 Seitenproduktion durch das Schaufelrad 11 auf einAccordingly, a 4 x 4 page production is carried out by the
Auslageband 17 einer ersten Transportebene sowie die Auslage lediglich mit erstem Längsfalz und weiteren Querfalzen versehener Exemplare durch das Schaufelrad 16 auf das Auslageband 20 der ersten Transportebene. Die aus den Auslagebändern 17, 18, 19, 20 sowie aus dem bogenförmigen Auslageband 21 bestehende erste Transportebene endet an der in Figur 1 dargestellten unteren Bänderwalze 27. Die untere Bänderwalze 27 bildet die Schnittstelle des Falzapparates zu einer nachgeordneten Weiterverarbeitungseinheit wie beispielsweise einem Stacker.
Die Auslage von mit zweitem Längsfalz versehenen Exemplaren erfolgt durch das Schaufelrad 25 auf die zweite Transportebene, deren Schnittstelle zur einer Weiterverarbeitungseinheit durch eine oberhalb der bereits erwähnten Bänderwalze 27 liegende weitere Bänderwalze 27 gebildet ist.The delivery of copies provided with a second longitudinal fold is carried out by the
Figur 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf die sich unterhalb der Exemplarauslageeinheiten innerhalb des Falzapparates erstreckenden Transportebenen, die mit einem Stacker verbindbar sind.FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the transport planes which extend below the copy delivery units within the folder and which can be connected to a stacker.
Im Falzapparatgrundgestell 2 erstreckt sich im wesentlichen die erste Transportebene, die aus den
Auslagebändern 17, 18, 19, 20 sowie dem bogenförmigen Auslageband 21 gebildet ist. Im zweiten Längsfalzmodul 3 überlagern sich das kurvenförmige Auslageband 21 der ersten Transportebene sowie das darüber angeordnete Auslageband 22, welches die zweite Transportebene unterhalb des Schaufelrades 25 bildet. Das Auslageband 22 sowie das kurvenförmige Auslageband 21 enden an vertikal übereinander angeordneten Bänderwalzen 27, welche die Schnittstellen zur nachgeordneten Weiterverarbeitungseinheit, beispielsweise einem Stacker 5, bilden. Am hier dargestellten Stacker 5 befindet sich eine verschwenkbare Weiche 26, welche um eine Bänderwalze 27 schwenkbar ist. Dabei kann das Auslageband 26 die durchgezogene Position wie auch die mit 26' bezeichnete verschwenkte Position einnehmen. Dadurch sind die erste Transportebene sowie die zweite Transportebene mit dem Stacker 5 verbindbar. Das Verschwenken der Weiche 26 in die eine oder die andere der eingezeichneten Positionen erfolgt je nach Produktionsmodus automatisch. Demnach steht die verschwenkbare Weiche 26 je nach Produktionsmodus an einer Bänderwalze 27 an und übernimmt die in der jeweiligen Transportebene geförderten Exemplare zur Weiterverarbeitung in den Stacker 5.In the
Aus der in Figur 2 dargestellten Draufsicht auf das Falzapparatgrundgestell 2 und das Längsfalzmodul 3 ergibt sich weiterhin, daß das Schaufelrad 16 und das Schaufelrad 25 um 90° zueinander verschwenkt angeordnet sind. Weiterhin geht aus der Darstellung gemäß Figur 2 hervor, daß die die einzelnen Transportebenen bildenden
Auslagebänder 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 und 22 im wesentlichen in Falzapparatgrundgestell 2 und unterhalb des zweiten Längsfalzmoduls 3 aufgenommen sind und keine zusätzlichen Stellfläche in einer Druckerei beanspruchen. Lediglich die verschwenkbare Weiche 26, welche an die einzelnen Transportebenen anstellbar ist, befindet sich außerhalb des Falzapparates.From the plan view of the
Es können mithin 4 x 4 Seiten Tabloidexemplare sowie mit Deltafalz, Parallelfalz oder Doppelparallelfalz erzeugte Exemplare in der ersten Transportebene ausgelegt werden, während in der zweiten Transportebene mit erstem Längsfalz versehene quergefalzte sowie mit zweiten Längsfalz versehene Exemplare ausgelegt werden. Zur Weiterverarbeitung dieser in unterschiedlichen Modi produzierten Exemplare bedarf es mithin keiner Verschiebung einer nachgeordneten Weiterverarbeitungseinheit wie beispielsweise einem Stacker 5. Da dieser in seiner einmal eingenommenen und präzise ausgerichteten Lage verbleibt, entfallen mithin auch aufwendige Justagearbeiten sowie die dazu notwendigen Rüstzeiten.It is therefore possible to lay out 4 x 4 pages of tabloid copies as well as copies made with delta fold, parallel fold or double parallel fold in the first transport level, while in the second transport level, cross-folded copies with a first longitudinal fold and copies with a second longitudinal fold are laid out. For further processing of these copies produced in different modes, there is therefore no need to move a downstream processing unit, such as a stacker 5, for example Precisely aligned position remains, so there is also no need for complex adjustment work and the necessary set-up times.
