Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for the slowdown of printed copies, in particular a device for the slowdown of folded copies in a folder by a gentle speed profile.
  • Paddle wheels are commonly used to slow copies in a folder. These paddle wheels comprise a plurality of paddle wheel disks with a number of curved paddle wheel blades extending outwards.
  • the paddlewheel pockets formed from the adjoining paddlewheel blades accommodate specimens emerging from a folder.
  • the curve shape and the notched surface of the bucket wheel blades slow the forward movement of the specimens stored in the bucket wheel pockets until a complete stop.
  • the U.S. Patent No. 4,629,175 discloses an apparatus with which these disadvantages are to be overcome.
  • the device has several rows of grippers that rotate between a transfer or feed device and a delivery system.
  • the grippers are slowed down by an acceleration / deceleration drive so that they move in the transport direction from the transfer or feed device to the delivery system at approximately the feed speed up to approximately the speed of the delivery system, and they can move up to the speed in their subsequent movement sections with which they moved before the slowdown are accelerated again.
  • the grippers are mounted on a cylindrical drum that rotates at a constant speed, and the rows of grippers slowed and accelerated by the acceleration / deceleration drive are rotated at a speed equal to that of the drum and are mounted so that they can be offset in relation to the outer surface of the drum.
  • the specimens are subject to deformation, misalignment and / or tearing during the transfer from the feed device to the deceleration drum. Since this transfer comes about because the delay drum so is positioned so that the gripper moves to a position in front of the leading edge of the specimen exiting the feed device, the speed of the specimen controlled by the feed device must be higher than the tangential speed of the gripper on the deceleration drum. This allows the specimen to gain the desired distance from the gripper until it enters the neck of the gripper. The gripper then closes and the speed of the front edge of the specimen suddenly changes and adjusts to the speed of the gripper.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus which transports successive copies from a folder to a delivery system in a stream of shingles, with the distance between the individual successive copies being strictly maintained.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus for decelerating copies fed in a folder, comprising the following features: means for securely grasping the leading edge of a copy exiting a transport system in the high speed folder; and a deceleration drum for decelerating the specimen by means of a gentle speed profile, the deceleration drum having at least one swivel arm which is pivotably mounted on a turntable rotating about a first axis; the at least one swivel arm is connected to a control disk by a control lever; the control disc rotates about a second axis that is parallel and offset from the first axis; and the gripper device is attached to an outer end of the at least one swivel arm.
  • the gripper device preferably grips the front edge of the specimen as it exits the transport device, while the rear edge is still controlled by the transport device.
  • the transport device can be a cutting cylinder, a folding cylinder, a conveyor belt system or another delivery system.
  • the gripper device can be a gripper head or preferably a rotating gripper, which is characterized by oppositely rotating, upper and lower rollers, which form the front edge of the Take out transport device exiting copy in the nip formed between them.
  • the rotating gripper prevents sudden speed changes of the specimen while it is being transferred from the transport device to the decelerator, thereby minimizing deformation, misalignment and possible tearing of the specimen during the deceleration process.
  • the deceleration drum can alternatively be equipped with a cam and lever connection system instead of the swivel arm / turntable and control lever / control plate mechanism.
  • An advantage of the invention is that in the continued handling of the specimens by the delay device until the specimens are handed over to the delivery system, the product stream contains hardly any laterally displaced, irregularly spaced or inclined specimens.
  • Another advantage of the invention is the fact that no friction is used in the transport device to slow the specimens, so that the specimens are less likely to be damaged.
  • An additional advantage of the invention can be seen in the fact that the successive specimens are moved in the same speed curve and therefore their distance from one another never changes.
  • the device according to the invention can achieve speed deceleration rates of approximately 5: 1.
  • Fig. 1 shows a deceleration drum 10 according to the present invention for slowing copies in a folder.
  • the drum 10 includes a plurality of pivot arms 12 which are connected to a rotating turntable 14 and can rotate independently of one another.
  • the points of connection of the swivel arm 12 to the turntable 14 form a base circle which is concentric with the center of the turntable (point A).
  • Each control lever 16 is connected at one end to a respective pivot arm 12 at a point which is radially outside of the Bearing point of the swivel arm 12 is.
  • the other end of each control lever 16 is connected to a rotating scrubbing disc 18.
  • the points of connection of the control levers 16 with the control disk 18 form a base circle which is concentric with the center of the control disk (point B).
  • the turntable 14 and the control disk 18 rotate about their own centers at the same speed and in the same direction.
  • the centers of the turntable 14 and the control disk 18 are fixed and offset from one another by a distance d, i.e. by the distance between points A and B, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the path of point (D) relative to point (C) is a circle c, the radius of which is equivalent to the displacement distance d between the center of the turntable 14 and the center of the control disc 18, as shown in FIG. 2.
  • This circular path exists for each swivel arm 12 / control lever 16 pairs.
  • These parallel circles are equally spaced in a base circle around the center of the turntable 14 and in a radius that depends on the length of the control lever 16 and the size of the control disk 18.
  • the deceleration drum 10 picks up the specimens directly from the cutting cylinder, conveyor belt system, or other transport devices at high speeds. The specimens are gripped safely and by a gentle Speed profile slowed down. Each copy is scaled by the drum 10 at slow speed. The exact distance between the scaled specimens depends on the spacing of the specimens from each other when they are transferred to the drum 10 and on the speed deceleration rate of the drum 10. Handover also to a single specimen gripper transport system. Due to an improved registration of the specimens moving over a deceleration drum 10, the performance of a sheet piling, the formation of stacks or blocks, or the performance of other conventional systems can be improved.
  • the swivel arm 12 / control lever 16 geometry can be constructed as a stationary four-link connection, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the angular velocity of the swivel arm 12 relative to the position of the turntable 14 is analyzed using the four-part connection model.
  • Figure 4 is a graphical representation of this speed profile.
  • the tangential speed of the end of the swing arm 12 can be easily calculated based on the rotation of the turntable 14.
  • the tangential speed of the swivel arm 12 is then calculated on the basis of the angular speed of the turntable 14 around the control disk 18.
  • a graphical representation of the angular velocity of the turntable 14 about the control disk 18 is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the two tangential speeds are then superimposed and the result of the superimposition is the actual tangential speed of the swivel arm 12.
  • a graphical representation of this combined speed is shown in FIG. 6.
  • the geometry is preferably designed so that the maximum tangential speed is substantially equal to the speed of the specimen arriving on the decelerating drum 10 and that the minimum tangential speed is substantially equal to the speed of the delivery system receiving the specimens coming from the drum.
  • 7 shows a typical specimen speed profile in accordance with the present invention.
  • the specimens 20 emerging from a conveyor belt system 22 are gripped by a gripper head 24 attached to the outer end of each swivel arm 12, as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the gripper head 24 holds the specimen 20 as it moves onto the deceleration drum 10.
  • the gripper head 24 is positioned so that it grips the leading edge of an incoming item 20 and then begins to slow the item down.
  • a control curve, not shown, is provided, which controls the timing of the gripper system.
  • the gripper system is preferably controlled so that the leading edge of the incoming specimen 20 is gripped by the gripper head 24 before the trailing edge of the specimen is released by the conveyor belt system 22.
  • the gripper head 24 has a wedge-shaped notch in the transport direction, so that the gripper head pushes a leading specimen outwards, so as to produce a shingled stream, as shown in FIG. 8.
  • the distance of one copy from the next on the deceleration drum 10 decreases until the copies reach the delivery speed and are released.
  • the copies 20 are then removed from the drum 10 by a delivery system, not shown.
  • a rotating gripper 26 is provided, which is characterized by a set of counter-rotating upper and lower rollers 28, 30 in order to control the signature 20 on a delay drum 10A, as in FIG. 9 shown.
  • the gap 32 between the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 is the point at which an incoming signature 20 is grasped.
  • the rotation of the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 about their respective axes is controlled by a cam or a link system.
  • the tangential surface speed of the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 as they rotate about their respective axes is superimposed on the tangential speed of the nip 32 about the center of the deceleration drum 10A.
  • the result of this superimposition is a speed which is essentially the same as the speed of the signature 20 emerging from the conveyor belt system 22.
  • This speed adjustment enables control of the leading edge of the signature 20 by the set of upper and lower rollers 28, 30, while at the same time controlling the trailing edge of the specimen by the conveyor belt system 22 without there being any distortion or deformation of the signature 20.
  • the roller gap 32 is in a position of the exemplar path exactly where the gripper head 24 would be.
  • the rotating gripper 26 has the advantage that it controls the specimen 20 from the moment in which the front edge of the signature 20 has reached the roller gap 32. It is not necessary to wait until the signature 20 enters a gripper neck identified by an opening between the mutually rotating upper and lower rollers 28, 30 of the rotating gripper 26 before the delay drum 10A takes over control of the signature 20.
  • the front edge of the signature 20 is driven into the approaching nip 32 by the desired amount, before the rotation of the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 stops about their respective axes.
  • the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 follow a fixed speed curve so that the specimen evenly reduces the speed at which it exits the conveyor belt system 22 up to the speed of the deceleration drum 10A.
  • the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 are rotated about their respective axes in a direction opposite to the direction in which they take the specimen 20 from the conveyor belt system 22.
  • the tangential surface speed of the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 as they rotate about their respective axes is subtracted from the tangential speed of the nip 32 rotating about the center of the retard drum 10A to further slow down the specimen 20.
  • the speed of the specimen 20 can be adjusted to the speed of the delivery system in order to ensure a gentle transfer.
  • FIG. 9 shows a specimen 20 that enters the approaching nip 32 of the rotating gripper 26.
  • a control cam 34 and a link connection 36 are shown as a means for controlling the speed of the rotating gripper 26, whereby an adaptation to the speed of the specimen 20 controlled by the conveyor belt system 22 can be achieved.
  • the pivot arm 12 / control arm 16 and turntable 14 / control disc 18 mechanism described above and shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 8 is another means of controlling the speed of the rotating gripper 26.
  • Reference numeral 38 shows the desired part of the specimen 20 moved through the nip 32 after the rotation of the upper and lower rollers 28, 30 has stopped.
  • the reference number 40 shows the specimen 20 when released from the nip 32 of the rotating gripper 26.

  • Fig. 11 shows another type of delivery, wherein the tangential speed of the specimen released by the rotating gripper 26 corresponds to the speed of a tangential delivery system 48, e.g. of a single copy of the gripper transport system or a belt delivery system.
  • Fig. 12 shows another embodiment of the rotating gripper 26, which is characterized by oppositely rotating upper and lower rollers 28A, 30A attached to the outer end of a swing arm 12A.
