Abstract

In a device for producing folded products, the object consists in producing two different folded products at the same time. According to the invention, this is effected in that a transverse folding device (8, 9, 11) comprises a folding blade cylinder and a folding jaw cylinder, each of double width, in the axial direction and has a left-hand and a right-hand inlet (24 and 26 respectively) for a main line (6, 7). In this case, the two part-lines (33, 34) which are folded longitudinally in an uppermost plane (B) can be introduced in each case selectively individually or together into the left-hand inlet (24) or into the right-hand inlet (26). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Falzprodukten entsprechend dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for producing folded products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Durch die gattungsgemäße DE 41 28 797 A1 ist es bekannt, aus verschiedenen Bahnen bestehende Teilstränge über in verschiedenen Ebenen angeordnete Falztrichter zu führen, die Teilstränge anschließend in ihrer Lage in einem Hauptstrang zu variieren und nachfolgend einem Falzapparat zum Querschneiden sowie zum Einbringen eines Querfalzes zu übergeben.From the generic DE 41 28 797 A1 it is known to pass partial strands consisting of different webs over folding hoppers arranged in different planes, then to vary the position of the partial strands in their position in a main strand and subsequently to transfer them to a folder for cross cutting and for introducing a transverse fold .

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Falzapparat mit großer Variabilität der Falzprodukte und möglichst vielen Lagen zu schaffen, wobei die Falzprodukte von der Anzahl der Lagen her gleich oder unterschiedlich sein können.The invention has for its object to provide a folder with great variability of the folding products and as many layers as possible, wherein the folding products can be the same or different in the number of layers.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruches 1 oder 2 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1 or 2.

Durch die Erfindung werden insbesondere nachfolgende Vorteile erzielt: Es ist nunmehr möglich geworden, gleichzeitig ein erstes und ein zweites Querfalzprodukt herzustellen, z. B. zwei komplette Zeitungen oder zwei Vorprodukte oder ein aus einer kompletten Zeitung und einem Vorprodukt bestehendes Mischprodukt. Mittels zweier feststehender und zweier darüber angeordneter einzeln verschiebbarer Falztrichter können Falzprodukte aus einer, zwei, drei, vier, sechs oder acht Signaturen gebildet werden. Die Teilstränge können durch die verschiedene Strangführung von den oberen verschiebbaren Falztrichtern in verschiedene Positionen des Stranges und somit des Falzproduktes plaziert werden. Somit können zwei gleichdicke oder verschieden dicke Falzprodukte, d. h. Falzprodukte mit gleicher oder ungleicher Anzahl von Lagen hergestellt werden, jeweils bei voller Kapazitätsauslastung des doppeltbreiten Falzapparates. Auf diese Art können weitere aufwendige Oberbauten vermieden werden. So können in Einfachproduktion Falzprodukte mit max. 8 Signaturen und max. 96 Seiten sowie in Doppelproduktion Falzprodukte mit max. vier Signaturen und max. zweimal 96 Seiten hergestellt werden. In dem Fall daß in drei Ebenen jeweils zwei Falztrichter nebeneinander angeordnet werden, kann die Anzahl der einzelnen dem Falzapparat zugeführten Signaturen erhöht werden. Es können auch Falzprodukte hergestellt werden, die nur einen Querfalz aufweisen.The following advantages are achieved in particular by the invention: It has now become possible to simultaneously produce a first and a second transverse fold product produce, e.g. B. two complete newspapers or two preliminary products or a mixed product consisting of a complete newspaper and a preliminary product. Folded products can be formed from one, two, three, four, six or eight signatures by means of two stationary and two individually movable folding formers arranged above. The partial strands can be placed in different positions of the strand and thus of the folded product due to the different strand guidance from the upper displaceable former formers. In this way, two folding products of the same or different thickness, ie folding products with the same or different number of layers, can be produced, each with full capacity utilization of the double-width folder. In this way, further complex superstructures can be avoided. In simple production, folded products with max. 8 signatures and max. 96 pages as well as in double production folding products with max. four signatures and max. 96 pages are produced twice. In the event that two folding formers are arranged side by side on three levels, the number of individual signatures fed to the folding apparatus can be increased. Folded products can also be produced that have only one transverse fold.

In Fig. 1 ist die Seitenansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zum Herstellen von Falzprodukten gezeigt. Zwei Falztrichter 1, 2 sind nebeneinander in einer ersten Ebene A fest angeordnet. In einer über der ersten Ebene A befindlichen zweiten darüber befindlichen Ebene B sind zwei verschiebbare Falztrichter 3, 4 nebeneinander angeordnet. Jeweils aus dem Auslauf des Trichters 1, 2, 3, 4 läuft ein Teilstrang 31, 32, 33, 34 über nicht näher bezeichnete Walzen und vereinigt sich zu einem Hauptstrang 6 oder zu zwei Hauptsträngen 6, 7, die in einen Falzapparat einlaufen. Der Falzapparat besteht z. B. aus einem zweifeldrigen Schneidzylinder 8, welcher gegen einen siebenfeldrigen Schneidnuten-, Punktur- und Falzmesserzylinder 9 arbeitet. Dem vorgenannten Zylinder 9 schließt sich ein siebenfeldriger Falzklappenzylinder 11 an. Die Zylinder 8, 9, 11 sind jeweils doppeltbreit ausgeführt, und es können jeweils in axialer Richtung zwei Einrichtungen auf einem Zylinder 8, 9, 11 angeordnet und mit nur einem Antrieb, jedoch mit getrennt gesteuerten bekannten Falzeinrichtungen versehen sein, d. h. es können jeweils zwei aus dem Auslauf eines Falztrichters 1 bis 4 kommende Teilstränge 31, 32, 33, 34 nebeneinander in axialer Richtung der Zylinder 8, 9, 11 auf den Mantelflächen der Zylinder 8, 9, 11 angeordnet sein. Es ist auch möglich, die Zylinder 9, 11 jeweils fünffeldrig auszuführen. Unter dem Falzklappenzylinder 11 befinden sich zwei in axialer Richtung nebeneinander angeordnete Schaufelräder 12, 13, welche die von dem Falzapparat erzeugten Falzprodukte 14, 16 auf eine Bandauslage 17, 18 ablegt. Dabei ist dem Schaufelrad 12 die Bandauslage 17 und dem Schaufelrad 13 die Bandauslage 18 zugeordnet.1 shows the side view of a device according to the invention for producing folded products. Two formers 1, 2 are arranged side by side in a first plane A. In a second level B located above the first level A, two displaceable folding formers 3, 4 are arranged side by side. In each case from the outlet of the former 1, 2, 3, 4, a partial strand 31, 32, 33, 34 runs over rollers, which are not specified in any more detail, and combines to form a main strand 6 or two main strands 6, 7 which enter a folder. The folder consists, for. B. from a two-field cutting cylinder 8, which against a seven-field Cutting groove, puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 works. The aforementioned cylinder 9 is followed by a seven-field jaw cylinder 11. The cylinders 8, 9, 11 are each double-wide, and two devices can each be arranged in the axial direction on a cylinder 8, 9, 11 and can be provided with only one drive, but with separately controlled known folding devices, ie two each partial strands 31, 32, 33, 34 coming from the outlet of a folding former 1 to 4 can be arranged side by side in the axial direction of the cylinders 8, 9, 11 on the lateral surfaces of the cylinders 8, 9, 11. It is also possible for the cylinders 9, 11 to have five fields each. Under the jaw cylinder 11 there are two paddle wheels 12, 13 which are arranged side by side in the axial direction and which deposit the folding products 14, 16 produced by the folder onto a belt delivery 17, 18. The band delivery 17 is assigned to the paddle wheel 12 and the band delivery 18 is assigned to the paddle wheel 13.

Die in der zweiten Ebene B befindlichen Falztrichter 3, 4 sind entsprechend den Darstellungen in Fig. 2 bis 4 in axialer Richtung D der Zylinder 8, 9, 11 des Falzapparates verschiebbar, so daß die Falztrichter 3, 4 wahlweise auf eine oder beide mit E und F bezeichnete Querfalzposition des nebeneinander angeordneten linken und rechten Einlaufes 24, 26 des Falzapparates arbeitet. Dabei befindet sich die Querfalzposition E über dem linken Einlauf 24 und dem linken Schaufelrad 12 und die Querfalzposition F über dem rechten Einlauf 26 und dem rechten Schaufelrad 13. Ein aus verschiedenen bedruckten Bahnen bestehender Teilstrang 33, 34 kann nach der Darstellung in Fig. 1 in verschiedene Positionen des Falzproduktes 14, 16 gebracht werden. Wenn z. B. nur in Querfalzposition E ein aus vier Teilsträngen 31 bis 34 hergestelltes Falzprodukt 14 erzeugt wird, dann können die Teilstränge 31 bis 34 eine folgende Reihenfolge auf der Mantelfläche des Schneidnuten-, Punktur- und Falzmesserzylinders 9 einnehmen: 32, 34, 31, 33; 34, 32, 33, 31; 34, 32, 31, 33; 32, 34, 33, 31, je nachdem, an welcher Stelle die aus den verschiebbaren Falztrichtern 3, 4 herauslaufenden Teilstränge 33, 34 eingefügt werden. Diese Möglichkeiten sind in Fig. 1 angedeutet.The former 3, 4 located in the second plane B are displaceable in the axial direction D of the cylinders 8, 9, 11 of the folder, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 4, so that the former 3, 4 optionally on one or both with E. and F designated transverse fold position of the side-by-side left and right inlets 24, 26 of the folder operates. The transverse fold position E is above the left inlet 24 and the left paddle wheel 12 and Cross fold position F over the right inlet 26 and the right paddle wheel 13. A partial strand 33, 34 consisting of different printed webs can be brought into different positions of the folded product 14, 16 as shown in FIG. 1. If e.g. B. A folded product 14 produced from four partial strands 31 to 34 is only produced in the transverse folding position E, then the partial strands 31 to 34 can assume the following sequence on the outer surface of the cutting groove, puncture and folding knife cylinder 9: 32, 34, 31, 33 ; 34, 32, 33, 31; 34, 32, 31, 33; 32, 34, 33, 31, depending on at which point the partial strands 33, 34 running out of the displaceable former 3, 4 are inserted. These possibilities are indicated in Fig. 1.

In Fig. 2 wird eine schematische Vorderansicht nach Fig. 1 gezeigt, wobei die in der ersten Ebene A befindlichen festen Falztrichter 1, 2 auf den Einlauf 24 des durch den Falzklappenzylinder 11 symbolisch dargestellten Falzapparates arbeiten. Dabei liegen während des Querfalzvorganges auf der Mantelfläche des Falzklappenzylinders 11 im linken Einlauf 24 die Signaturen der Teilstränge 32 und 31 in der Reihenfolge 32, 31 auf. Die in der obersten Ebene B angeordneten verschiebbaren Falztrichter 3, 4 arbeiten auf den rechten Einlauf 26 des Falzapparates. Auf der Mantelfläche des Falzklappenzylinders 11 liegen im rechten Einlauf 26 die Signaturen der Teilstränge 34 und 33 in der Reihenfolge 34, 33 auf. Das erste auf der Bandauslage 17 abgelegte Falzprodukt 14 weist dann von oben nach unten folgende Reihenfolge der Signaturen auf: 31, 32, 32, 31. Das auf der Bandauslage 18 abgelegte zweite Falzprodukt 16 weist dann von oben nach unten folgende Reihenfolge der Teilstränge auf: 33, 34, 34, 33.FIG. 2 shows a schematic front view according to FIG. 1, the fixed folding former 1, 2 located in the first plane A working on the inlet 24 of the folding apparatus symbolically represented by the folding jaw cylinder 11. During the transverse folding process, the signatures of the partial strands 32 and 31 are in the order 32, 31 on the lateral surface of the jaw cylinder 11 in the left inlet 24. The displaceable folding formers 3, 4 arranged in the uppermost level B work on the right inlet 26 of the folding apparatus. The signatures of the partial strands 34 and 33 are in the order 34, 33 on the outer surface of the jaw cylinder 11 in the right inlet 26. The first on the Ribbon delivery 17 folded product 14 then has the following sequence of signatures from top to bottom: 31, 32, 32, 31. The second folding product 16 deposited on ribbon delivery 18 then has the following sequence of partial strands from top to bottom: 33, 34, 34, 33.

Entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 3 befindet sich ein verschiebbarer Falztrichter 3 in Querfalzposition E über dem linken Einlauf 24 und ein verschiebbarer Falztrichter 4 in der Querfalzposition F über dem rechten Einlauf 26 des Falzapparates, so daß auf der Mantelfläche des Falzklappenzylinders 11 in der Querfalzposition E die Signaturen der Teilstränge 33, 31, 32 nacheinander aufliegen, was zur Reihenfolge 33, 31, 32, 32, 31, 33 der Signaturen in einem auf einer Bandauslage 17 abgelegten Falzprodukt 19 führt. Der zweite verschiebbare Falztrichter 4 arbeitet allein auf der Querfalzposition F des Falzapparates, so daß hier ein Falzprodukt 21 aus dem aus den Signaturen des Teilstranges 34 gebildet wird.According to the illustration in Fig. 3 is a movable former 3 in the transverse fold position E above the left inlet 24 and a movable former 4 in the transverse fold position F above the right inlet 26 of the folder, so that on the lateral surface of the jaw cylinder 11 in the transverse fold position E. the signatures of the partial strands 33, 31, 32 lie one after the other, which leads to the order 33, 31, 32, 32, 31, 33 of the signatures in a folded product 19 stored on a belt delivery 17. The second displaceable folding former 4 works solely on the transverse folding position F of the folding apparatus, so that here a folding product 21 is formed from the signatures of the partial strand 34.

Entsprechend der Darstellung in Fig. 4 haben die verschiebbaren Falztrichter 3, 4 ihre Positionen getauscht, so daß der Falztrichter 4 in der Querfalzposition E und der Falztrichter 3 sich in der Querfalzposition F über dem Falzapparat befindet. Somit arbeitet der Falztrichter 3 allein auf der Querfalzposition F über dem Einlauf 26 des Falzapparates, so daß hier ein Falzprodukt 23 aus den Signaturen des Teilstranges 33 gebildet wird, während die Reihenfolge der Signaturen der Teilstränge auf dem Falzklappenzylinder 11 wie folgt ist: 34, 31, 32, was zur Reihenfolge 34, 31, 32, 32, 31, 34 der Signaturen in einem auf einer Bandauslage 17 abgelegten Falzprodukt 22 führt.4, the displaceable former 3, 4 have changed their positions, so that the former 4 in the transverse folding position E and the former 3 is in the transverse position F above the folder. Thus, the former 3 works alone in the transverse folding position F over the inlet 26 of the Folding apparatus, so that here a folding product 23 is formed from the signatures of the partial strand 33, while the order of the signatures of the partial strands on the folding jaw cylinder 11 is as follows: 34, 31, 32, which results in the sequence 34, 31, 32, 32, 31 , 34 of the signatures in a folded product 22 stored on a belt delivery 17.

Es ist auch möglich, alle vier Teilstränge 31 bis 34 in die Querfalzposition E des Falzapparates laufen zu lassen, um nur ein einziges aus vier Teilsträngen 31 bis 34 bestehendes Falzprodukt zu erhalten. In den Fig. 2 bis 4 sind zusätzlich zur Seitenansicht nach Fig. 1 noch jeweils den Falztrichtern 1 bis 4 zugeordnete trichterfeste Trichtereinlaufwalzen 27, 29, 30 dargestellt. Die Falztrichter 3, 4 sind auf nicht dargestellten gestellfesten Schienen verfahrbar. Die weiterhin gezeigten Trichter-Voreinlaufwalzen 37, 38 sind gestellfest angeordnet. Dabei sind die Trichter-Voreinlaufwalzen 37, 38 sowie die Trichtereinlaufwalze 27 doppeltbreit ausgeführt zur Aufnahme von zwei Teilsträngen nebeneinander. Weiterhin ist es möglich, die Anzahl der Signaturen bei einer Einfachproduktion zu erhöhen. Schließlich ist es auch noch möglich, in einer dritten, nicht dargestellten Ebene C zwei verschiebbare Falztrichter anzuordnen, während die Falztrichter 3, 4 in der zweiten Ebene B und die zwei Falztrichter 1, 2 in der Ebene A fest installiert sind. Dies würde bei gleichen Anzahl von Bahnen die Anzahl der Teilstränge erhöhen, was u. U. angestrebt wird.It is also possible to have all four partial strands 31 to 34 run in the transverse folding position E of the folding apparatus in order to obtain only a single folding product consisting of four partial strands 31 to 34. In addition to the side view according to FIG. 1, FIGS. 2 to 4 also show funnel-fixed funnel inlet rollers 27, 29, 30 assigned to the folding formers 1 to 4. The folding formers 3, 4 can be moved on rails which are not fixed to the frame. The hopper pre-inlet rollers 37, 38, which are also shown, are arranged fixed to the frame. Here, the hopper inlet rollers 37, 38 and the hopper inlet roller 27 are double-width to accommodate two partial strands next to each other. It is also possible to increase the number of signatures in a single production. Finally, it is also possible to arrange two movable formers in a third plane C, not shown, while the formers 3, 4 in the second plane B and the two formers 1, 2 are permanently installed in the plane A. This would be the same number of Lanes increase the number of partial strands, which u. U. is sought.

Der Schneidnut-, Punktur- und Falzmesserzylinder 9 kann auch ohne Schneidnuten ausgeführt sein. Statt des Schneidzylinders 8 kann am Umfang des Falzmesserzylinders 9 ein nichtdargestelltes Bandleitsystem angeordnet sein, wobei die Hauptstränge 6, 7 dann mittels zweier vor der Falzzylindergruppe 9, 11 angeordnete Schneidzylinder zu Signaturen geschnitten werden.The cutting groove, puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 can also be designed without cutting grooves. Instead of the cutting cylinder 8, a belt guide system (not shown) can be arranged on the circumference of the folding knife cylinder 9, the main strands 6, 7 then being cut into signatures by means of two cutting cylinders arranged in front of the folding cylinder group 9, 11.

Es ist auch möglich, die Teilstränge 31 bis 34 längszutrennen und so durch die Falztrichter 1 bis 4 durchlaufen zu lassen, daß kein Längsfalz entsteht (Tabloidproduktion).It is also possible to longitudinally separate the partial strands 31 to 34 and to pass them through the formers 1 to 4 in such a way that there is no longitudinal fold (tabloid production).

Der "doppeltbreite" Punktur- und Falzmesserzylinder 9 sowie der "doppeltbreite" Falzklappenzylinder 11 kann dadurch realisiert werden, daß eine "doppelte Breite" mittels eines einstückig ausgebildeten doppelbreiten Punktur- und Falzmesserzylinders 9 sowie eines einstückig ausgebildeten doppeltbreiten Falzklappenzylinders 11 verwendet wird. Desgleichen kann eine "doppelte Breite" der vorgenannten Zylinder 9, 11 der Falzgruppe mittels zwei nebeneinander, mit separaten Antrieben versehenen Zylindern 9, 11 erzielt werden.The "double-width" puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 and the "double-width" jaw cylinder 11 can be realized by using a "double width" by means of an integral double-width puncture and folding knife cylinder 9 and a one-piece double-width jaw cylinder 11. Likewise, a "double width" of the aforementioned cylinders 9, 11 of the folding group can be achieved by means of two cylinders 9, 11 provided next to one another and with separate drives.
