Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and apparatus for the exact stack separation of main and auxiliary stacks in non-stop delivery in sheet-processing printing machines or the like.
  • the sheet delivery has front and rear sheet stops for aligning the sheets to be deposited and an insertable auxiliary stacking table or rake for collecting sheets when changing stacks, whereby the main and auxiliary stacks are separated at the same time when inserting rakes or boards.
  • a sheet delivery device in which, in the area of the sheet leading edge of the sheet to be deposited, support fingers can be pivoted in this area over the main stack.
  • an auxiliary stacking table can be inserted over the main stack for the purpose of changing the stack, and on the side opposite the support fingers, upright holders which can be inserted by means of working cylinders are arranged above the stack.
  • a device for the interim collection of sheets, especially for holding the sheet trailing edge is known from DE 3 112 558 C2.
  • angles are used which are rotatably arranged on a holder in the region of the arch brake.
  • the angle brackets have different leg lengths and can fold away due to the weight of the bow, so that the The resulting partial stack arrives on the intermediate stacking board that has now been inserted.
  • a stop for the trailing edge of the sheet is known, which is designed as a traverse and is arranged to be movable up and down with a pair of supporting scissors attached to the sheet brake in conjunction with an intermediate stacking device.
  • DE 3 937 945 C2 discloses a sheet trailing edge catching device for cantilevers with a non-stop auxiliary stacking device.
  • Controllable catch fingers are arranged beneath the suction roller between rear edge stops, which can be moved together in one plane by means of a rack and pinion by a pneumatic working cylinder.
  • the incoming sheets are prevented from slipping back, but this requires complex training for separating the main and auxiliary stacks. Spearings of sheets in the area of the rear edge are avoided when the rake is pushed in, but the danger is only shifted to the horizontal back and forth movement of the catch fingers. Especially at higher machine speeds (e.g. four sheets per second), skewing operations by the catching fingers cannot be avoided.
  • DE 4 011 286 A1 describes a device whose catch fingers are designed as suction pads. At the top of the suction pads, the deposited sheets are sucked in by means of suction nozzles and the suction pads are pulled back by a defined amount to tighten the sheets. The suction pads move horizontally analogous to DE 3 937 945 C2 and do not remedy the disadvantages already mentioned.
  • FR-A-2 310 219 discloses a device according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 2.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a solution in order to noticeably minimize the disadvantages mentioned.
  • the solution according to the invention ensures non-stop operation at maximum machine speed. For example, at a speed of four sheets per second, the main stack is extended during printing. This increases the effective performance of the printing press and has a positive effect on the print quality, since disturbances in the ink / fountain solution balance are avoided and the speed of the printing press does not have to be reduced during the printing process to change the batch.
  • the sheet delivery is equipped with a lowerable auxiliary stack and a separating device at the rear sheet stop for the exact automatic separation of the main and auxiliary stacks when inserting rakes or boards.
  • the main and auxiliary stacks have separate drives that raise or lower the steel plate or steel frame attached to them via four roller chains. Known laterally arranged angle rails pivot laterally in or out.
  • the combination of fixed rear upper stops and vertically movable rear lower stops ensures that the incoming sheets cannot slip back into the machine in the direction of the sheet emergence.
  • the bow brackets become vertical with the rear lower stops when inserting the stacking board or rake into the stack and separate the stack into the main and auxiliary stacks. Since the sheets to be deposited are held at the rear edge above the inserted stacking board / rake, they cannot be shifted or deformed in the direction of the sheet emergence when inserted.
  • the crossbeam, crossbar and beam can be coupled via several coupling gears (articulated gears). In addition to the horizontal forwards and backwards movement, the arch support also has a vertical component.
  • the law of motion of the curve member ensures that the last sheets of the uppermost layer of the main stack are gently stripped and an exact separation between the main and auxiliary stacks is achieved without impaling processes by the sheet holder.
  • the gentle stripping can be compared to "leafing through”. "Leafing through” the last sheets of the upper layer of the main stack until the bottom sheet of the newly formed auxiliary stack has been reached, and placing the bottom sheet and the subsequent sheets on the sheet holders, the sheet holders moving to the level of the top of the stacking board, causes the exact stack separation.
  • the rear sheet brackets reach a uniform level at the latest when the auxiliary stack is formed (underside of the bottom sheet of the auxiliary stack).
  • a sheet 7 of a sheet delivery is fed by means of chain system 8 and gripper system 6 in the conveying direction 23.
  • the sheets 7 arriving from a printing press are transported via a main stack 1 and placed thereon.
  • Each sheet is deposited with the leading edge of the sheet against known front stops 3 arranged side by side.
  • pivotable angle rails 15 are arranged for receiving a stacking board 2.
  • known front sheet holders 4 which extend over the sheet width, are also arranged.
  • the sheet 1 is preceded by a sheet brake device 9 which can be set depending on the format.
  • a transverse cross member 10 is attached to this.
  • On the cross member 10 a plurality of upper stops 11 are arranged next to one another at a distance parallel to the rear edge of the deposited sheet 7. The stops 11 extend vertically upward between the sheet braking device 9.
  • a cross bar 21 is arranged, which is followed by a carrier 22. Traverse 10, crossbar 21 and beam 22 are connected via a plurality of two-way joints 14 such that beam 22 and crossbar 21 can be moved vertically up and down to the fixed crossbar 10. Carrier 22 is wider than the max.
  • Arc width executed, but smaller than the distance between the two angles seemed 15.
  • Wedges 13 are attached to the free ends of the support 22 and several lower stops 12 are arranged next to each other on the support 22 over the arc width. At least two of the lower stops 12 are guided with the upper stops 11 such that a relative movement (translation) of the lower stops 12 to the fixed upper stops 11 is possible.
  • the lower stops extend down into the area of the main stack 1.
  • two upper stops 11 each have a longitudinal groove on one end face with a defined length, in which a bolt coupled to the associated lower stop 12 is guided.
  • On the carrier 22, a plurality of spring-loaded, rear arch support 16 are arranged at a distance by means of the holder 17.
  • a swivel joint 18 is arranged on the holder 17 and is coupled to a lever 19.
  • Lever 19 is articulated at one end on the bow support 16 and carries a rotatably mounted roller 20 at its other end.
  • Roller 20 is assigned to the crossbar 21 already described, which acts as a cam member.
  • the mode of operation is as follows: In a manner known per se, sheets 7 of the gripper system 6, which is articulated on a chain system 8, are guided in the conveying direction 22 via a sheet brake 9 and placed on a main stack 1.
  • the main stack 1 lies on a storage table, not shown, which can be lowered in accordance with the increasing stack height. If the main stack 1 has reached its predetermined height, an auxiliary stack 5 is formed while the continuous printing (at maximum machine speed) so that the main stack 1 can be transported out of the delivery area.
  • the front upholders 4 are moved out before inserting the empty stacking board 2 into a position which supports the sheets 7 transported by the gripper system 6 in the region of the front edge (FIG. 1). This creates a free space between the upper edge of the main stack 1 and the lower edge of the auxiliary stack 5 for inserting the empty stacking board 2, counter to the conveying direction 22 in the direction of the rear stacking stops 11, 12. If the stacking board 2 accommodated in angle rails 15 meets the obliquely upwards (in the direction of the gripper system) 6) directed wedges 13, these are moved vertically upwards together with carrier 22 and holder 17 and thus also the lower stack stops 12.
  • the spring-loaded rear bracket 16 is pivoted back out of the stacking area.
  • the main stack 1 has now been removed, the depositing table is moved to the upper starting position on roller chains and takes over the stacking board 2 with the auxiliary stack 5.
  • the main and auxiliary stacks 1, 5 have separate drives. When lifting the auxiliary stack 5, the angle rails 15 pivot out laterally and move into the upper starting position.
  • the stacking board 2 is not pulled out, but now carries the main stack 1.
  • a plurality of spring elements between the cross member 10 and support 22 may be arranged.
  • the use of pneumatic working cylinders or analog means is also possible.
  • a working cylinder can be coupled with sensors that are activated when the stacking board / rake is inserted.
  • the coupling of the crossmember 10, the crossbar 21 and the support 22 can take place via coupling links connected on both sides (the side facing and stacking area) by means of joints.
