Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for separating staple stacks in stackers and a stacker for carrying out the method according to the preambles of claims 1 and 3.
  • breakpoints are generally created for dividing the packets in the continuous flow of the incoming booklet layers and then a separating blade is inserted into these breakpoints.
  • the known stackers essentially have a feed path of the booklet layers to the package formation area along a package formation and conveying path, an oscillating carpet for pulling out the booklet layers, a package support fork and a package stop fork, both of which are retractable and associated with adjusting means, a retractable and also associated with adjusting means separating blade , wherein the forks and the bucket with drive means for producing a Prepackage or a finished package are in operative connection, as well as a circulation counter or the like.
  • the object of the invention is to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the known methods and stackers Eliminate and specify a method and a stacker, with which a perfect separation of the booklet packs can be achieved, without interrupting the flow of the incoming booklet layers or changing their speed.
  • the features specified in claim 2 aim at a clean separation of the finished package without damage or displacement of the booklet layers.
  • the main advantage achieved with the method according to the invention and the corresponding device is that the disturbances attributable to the change in speed or to the interruption of the booklet flow are eliminated. This reduces the required operator intervention, which is very important, also because efforts are made to assign not only one stacker but two stacker to one operator. At the same time, a stitching committee and a possible shutdown of the rotary printing press or the downstream one Packaging machines excluded and therefore the respective machine performance is increased.
  • Another advantage can be seen in the fact that the proposed solution requires a limited number of additional components and can be integrated into existing forklifts with just a few changes.
  • the stacker designated as a whole by 1, has a support frame 2 in which a known and therefore not further described conveying path for a continuous stream 3 of scale layers 4 arranged in the manner of arrows runs in the direction of arrows F into the end section 5 of the guide section of the stitch layers comes in.
  • a vibrating carpet 6 is assigned to this route section 5, the individual bands of which can be deflected between the wheels 7 and 8.
  • Reference number 9 denotes a tensioning unit for tensioning the tapes of the carpet 6.
  • the entire structure of the vibrating carpet can be pivoted about the axis of the deflection wheel 7.
  • Means 10 for pretensioning the vibrating carpet are attached after the booklet package in order to generate the contact pressure of the carpet 6 on the booklet stream 3 required for pulling out or stripping off the individual booklet layers 4.
  • the booklet positions 4 are guided against the package carrying and conveying track 12 consisting of known belt drives. These belts are mounted in support bars, not shown, which are part of the support frame 2 of the machine.
  • the biasing means 10 consist, for example, of a piston-cylinder unit attached to the machine support frame 2.
  • the stacker is also equipped with a separating blade 13, a support fork 14 and a stop fork 15 of the finished package, see FIG. 4, the separating blade 13 and the support and stop forks 14, 15 being retractable in a known and not shown manner.
  • the separating blade 13 on the one hand and the forks 14 and 15 on the other hand are operatively connected to known adjusting means, not shown.
  • the reference numerals 17 and 18 denote a circulation counter or a straight line of the upper edge of the booklet layers.
  • the known stackers also have a device for temporarily stopping the booklet stream 3 for generating interruption points in the continuous booklet stream 3. Such means consist of, for example Press jaw, which can be provided at any point along the conveying path of the booklet stream.
  • an adjusting device 20 is arranged, which in the example shown is a piston-cylinder unit, the control valve 21 of which is connected to the circulation counter designated 17 or the like.
  • the separating blade 13 consists of two retractable tines 22, 23, each of which is assigned to piston-cylinder units 24, 25, which are attached to one in the direction of the arrow f1 below the Package conveyor track 12 movable back and forth, carrying the prepackage frame 27 are arranged.
  • the frame 27 carrying the prepackage is slidably mounted on a central spar which carries the central belt of the web 12 and is driven, for example, in a manner not shown, by an annular belt which is deflected between two pulleys, one of which is one Drive motor is assigned.
  • the support fork 14 and the stop fork 15 each consist of two prongs 30, 31 and 32, 33, which are assigned to a piston-cylinder unit for their retracting movement.
  • the support fork 14 and the stop fork 15 are arranged on a frame 35 which, for example, is mounted similarly to the frame 27.
  • the frames 27 and 35 are, for example, plate-shaped.
  • the frame 35 is also driven in a manner not shown via an annular belt which is deflected between two pulleys, one of which is assigned to a drive motor.
  • FIG. 5 also shows that stop and separating wedges 40, 41 are arranged on the prongs 22, 23 of the separating blade 13.
  • the wedges 40, 41 are vertically displaceable on the prongs 22, 23 and are operatively connected to fixed guide cams, which are not shown in detail and with the stacker frame 2 are connected in one piece.
  • the cams are designed in such a way that the stop wedges 40, 41 are moved vertically, namely between an upper position, FIGS. 1, 2 and 5, in which they protrude in height from the package conveyor track 12, but without reaching the lower free edge to reach the last booklet position 4a of a finished package 42, and a retracted position below the conveyor track 12, FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • FIG. 1 shows the step in which the formation of a packet is completed.
  • the separating blade 13 is in the retracted position in front of the infeed conveyor track 12 of the booklet flow 3.
  • the stop wedges 40, 41 are in the raised waiting position.
  • the frame 27 carrying the prepackage is withdrawn accordingly.
  • the stop fork 15 is also withdrawn.
  • the stitching layers 4 entering the package are introduced and positioned in a known manner by the vibrating carpet 6, which is prestressed by the piston-cylinder unit 10.
  • the support fork 14 supports the package and moves in a known manner at a speed which corresponds to the speed of the package formation.
  • the pulse controls the following steps to separate the package: via the control valve 21, the piston-cylinder unit 20 causes the oscillating carpet 6 to pivot out into the open position, see FIG. 2.
  • the frame 27 moves with a rapid movement Run towards the package 42 and the protruding part of the stop wedges 40, 41 lies against the lower, free edge of the last stitch position 4a of the package 42.
  • the carpet 6 is opened, a wide space can be formed to accommodate the incoming booklet layers.
  • the tack layer 4b which comes immediately after the tack layer 4a, slides over the separating wedges and moves away from the tack layer 4a.
  • the frame 35 leads the finished package 42 to the downstream treatment station, for example a station, not shown, where the package is pressed and tied after the end flaps have been attached.
  • the frame 35 runs back quickly in a known manner, the prongs 32, 33 of the stop fork 15 retracting and then the prongs 30, 31 of the support fork 14 coming into contact with the first stitching position 4b of the prepackage, which is known to be the bottom of the package being formed.
  • the tines 22, 23 of the separating blade 13 move back and when they move backwards, the stop wedges 40, 41, FIG. 1, slide into the package formation section.
  • a sensor (not shown) or the like could give the packet separation pulse which determines the length of the packet.
