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.
