Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for conveying and separating folded printed products, which are fed on a conveyor system in a shingled stream, at least two printed products being laterally offset from one another and a conveying member being arranged to the side of the shingled stream, and these conveying members diverge and pull the printed products apart.
  • a device of this type is known from CH-A-634 530 or DE-U-8 400 542.
  • This has two parallel conveyor elements, which are designed as chains and have clamping rollers or drivers for gripping the edges of the printed products.
  • the chains are moved apart in rails.
  • a similar facility is there known from DE-A-24 17 614.
  • This gripper is provided for gripping and pulling apart the folded printed products transversely to the conveying direction. Both devices are each set to a certain width of the scale flow. A change to a different width would be very expensive.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, with the shingled streams of different widths can be promoted.
  • the changeover should be possible very easily and quickly.
  • the device should also be suitable for separating shingled streams with more than two folded or overlapping printed products.
  • the object is achieved in the generic device in that the first conveying member has a gap into which the other second conveying member engages with a front end and conveys this obliquely to the first conveying member and has a lower pull-out belt and an upper pull-out belt and that the upper one Pull-out belt at its front end is telescopically adjustable in the conveying direction of the second conveying member.
  • the front end of the upper pull-out band has to be adjusted to adapt to the width of the shingled stream to be separated.
  • the front end engages the upper pull-out belt more or less deep into the gap of the first conveyor.
  • the printed products are not kinked and are therefore treated more gently than was previously the case.
  • the device is significantly less expensive and requires less space.
  • the printed products are held flat between the two pull-out belts and are thus safely guided during the entire pull-out process.
  • shingled streams can also be separated in which the printed products have very unusual formats. It also ensures that electrostatic adhesion between the printed products does not lead to a malfunction.
  • the offset in the device according to the invention can be significantly smaller than the previously usual offset of the folded or stacked printed products. It is also possible to divide a shingled stream consisting of two or more partial shingled streams arranged one above the other and laterally offset. As a result, the production capacity can be increased cost-effectively. Further advantageous features result from the dependent claims, the following description and the drawing.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a first rectilinear conveyor element 1 and a second also rectilinear conveyor element 2. These conveyor elements 1 and 2 are driven by a motor 23 via shafts 4 and 5.
  • the conveyor 1 has a comparatively wide pressure belt 7 and sub-belts 8 and 10.
  • the sub-bands 8 and the band 7 are driven by the common shaft 5.
  • the other end of the band 7, not shown here, is guided around a shaft, not shown here.
  • the bands 8 are much shorter than the band 7 and guided around a shaft 6 which runs parallel to the shaft 5.
  • the belts 10 are guided around rollers 12, which, as can be seen, are arranged offset in the conveying direction and in such a way that the gap widens with increasing distance from the belt 7.
  • the front end of the second conveying element 2 is also designed in a step-like manner.
  • the volumes 7, 8 and 10 are, as mentioned, driven together and the upper runs run in the same horizontal plane and in the same direction indicated by the arrow 24.
  • a pressure bar 21 is arranged above the belt 7 and works together with the belt 7 in order to grasp a scale stream S at one edge. 4, this press beam 21 also has revolving belts 22, the lower strand of which is moved in the same direction and at the same speed as the upper strand of the belt 7. Pressure bars of this type are known.
  • the second conveyor element 2 has a lower pull-out belt 13 and an upper pull-out belt 14, which run obliquely and preferably inclined at approximately 45 ° to the first conveyor crane 1.
  • the direction of conveyance of the conveying member 2 is indicated by the arrow 25.
  • the conveying speed of the conveying member 1 is selected such that the speed component in the conveying direction of the conveying member 1 is the same like the conveying speed of the conveying member 1.
  • the lower pull-out belt 13 consists of six partial belts 13c arranged parallel to one another, each running at the front end around a roller 15. As can be seen from FIG. 1, these rollers 15 are offset according to the gap 11 in the conveying direction.
  • Two belts 13a arranged in parallel next to one another each work with an upper belt 14a for capturing and pulling out printed products B from the shingled stream S.
  • the belts 14a are each guided around a front deflection roller 16 and deflection rollers 17.
  • Rollers 18, which are each mounted on a spring-loaded lever 19, ensure uniform pressing of the lower run of the belt 14 on the corresponding belt 13.
  • the remaining bands 13b and 13c serve only as a support for the printed products B, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the upper runs of the belts 13 generally run horizontally and preferably somewhat below the plane of the upper runs of the belts 7, 8 and 10.
  • the belts 14a are telescopic belts such that the roller 16 can be moved in the directions of the double arrow 26. Such telescopic tapes are well known per se. The adjustment can be made quickly and precisely on a handwheel, not shown here.
  • the mode of operation of the device is briefly explained below, in particular with reference to FIGS. 2 and 5.
  • the shingled stream S shown in FIG. 2 consists of folded printed products A and B, for example newspapers or magazines of the usual type.
  • the printed products A and B are laterally offset from one another, so that in FIG. 2 the lower edge is formed by the printed products A and the upper edge by the printed products B alone.
  • the scale flow S transferred from the left to the conveying element 1 in FIG. 2 is conveyed in the direction of the arrow 24.
  • the printed products A are held at their edge between the press bars 21 and the belt 7. As a result, the printed products A are moved in the direction of the arrow 24 without transverse movement.
  • the printed products B are caught in the gap 11 by the pull-out belts 13 and 14 and pulled out of the scale stream S transversely to the direction of the arrow 24. So that the printed products B are only grasped at their protruding edge, the two rollers 16 of the belts 14a are positioned accordingly in the gap 11. 1, P1 and P2 indicate the two end positions of the rollers 16. Position P1 separates a comparatively narrow scale flow S1 and position P2 separates a much wider scale flow S2. The rollers 16 can be continuously adjusted between the two positions P1 and P2. After the shingled stream S has been separated, the printed products A and B each again form a shingled stream which can be passed on to further conveying elements which are not shown here.
  • the two sub-bands 13a can also be replaced by a single band, but it has been shown that the use of two bands stabilizes the printed products B much better will. This is particularly important when printing products with unusual formats are to be conveyed.
  • the device according to the invention is also suitable for a shingled stream S which, according to FIG. 5, consists of four folded printed products A1, A2, B1 and B2.
  • this scale stream S can be separated in any possible way.
  • the printed products B2 can be separated from the other printed products A1, A2 and B1.
  • the printed products B1 and B2 can be separated from the printed products A1 and A2, as shown in FIG. 5. This separation creates two scale streams, each with the printed products A1 and A2 or B1 and B2.
  • These scale streams can then be separated further with two further devices according to the invention, so that a total of four scale streams then arise, each of which only consist of one printed product A1, A2, B1 or B2.
  • the edges of the printed products can be leading or trailing and can be arranged above or below.
  • the scale flow can also consist of two or more partial scale flows arranged one above the other but laterally offset. These partial scale flows can be separated with the device as explained above. Before the separation point can thus be conveyed a plurality of partial shed streams arranged one above the other on a conveyor line.
