Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for bringing together flat products, in particular printed products, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device of this type is known from EP-A-0 218 872 and the corresponding US Pat. No. 4,706,951. It has, on an endless traction element, spaced-apart support elements with pocket-like support elements, the longitudinal direction of which extends at right angles to the circumferential direction. Feeding devices designed as clamp transporters, as seen in the direction of rotation of the support elements, have dispensing points arranged one behind the other, at which opening of the clamps in question releases the printed products assigned to them, so that they fall into the support members.
  • Each clamp transporter has a section adjacent to its delivery point, in which the clamp transporter runs in a vertical plane running in the circumferential direction and inclined from above towards the orbit of the supporting elements in order to be supported by a guide into the lower, free edge of the products transported in the hanging position Introduce the loading opening of the corresponding support elements.
  • the clamp conveyors run at right angles to the sections concerned and around an arc to them.
  • the sections of the staple conveyors leading to the delivery points must have a certain length in order to be safe and gentle with a high processing capacity Ensure the introduction of the products into the loading openings, which leads to considerable overall lengths and a corresponding space requirement of the device.
  • the feed devices run in a curve to the delivery point, which is associated with constructive and space-consuming expenditure.
  • the inclined position of the support elements also enables the feed devices to be designed without long sections extending in the circumferential direction. Since, due to the inclination, the support elements can be arranged at a distance which is smaller than the length of the products, measured in the longitudinal direction of the support elements, only adequate circulation speeds are required, which ensures gentle treatment of the products. Due to the inclination, the transfer of the products to the support elements is gentle even if the Feed direction is at right angles or at a large acute angle to the direction of rotation. The products are gently diverted in the direction of circulation.
  • An acute angle of inclination is to be understood as an angle deviating from 0 ° and from 90 °; the longitudinal direction to the circumferential direction naturally also runs at an obtuse angle which is supplementary to the inclination angle.
  • the device shown in plan view in FIG. 1 has a matching conveyor 10 and a plurality of feeding devices 12.
  • An endless traction element 14 continuously driven in the direction of rotation U for example a well-known conveyor chain, is guided in a channel 16.
  • the horizontally running channel 16 has two parallel rectilinear sections 18, which are connected at both ends by circular sections 18 '.
  • support elements 20 are arranged one behind the other at a distance A, each having a support element 22 which extends in the longitudinal direction L of the support element 20.
  • the support elements 20 are arranged at an acute inclination angle ⁇ . In the example shown, this angle ⁇ is approximately 30 °.
  • this angle ⁇ is approximately 30 °.
  • the support members 22 with an L-shaped cross section with their flat wall forming the longer leg 26 is arranged with respect to a vertical 24 at an acute tilt angle ⁇ which is less than 60 °, in the example shown about 30 °.
  • the flat, shorter leg of the support member 22 forms the bottom 28 of the support element 20.
  • Each of the feed devices 12 has a memory 30 for printed products 32 (see FIGS. 5-12), which are fed to the support elements 20 by means of a conveying element 34.
  • the delivery points 36 of the conveying members 34 and thus the feed devices 12 are, seen in the direction of rotation U, arranged one behind the other and the feed devices 12 are intended to deliver a printed product 32 to each support element 20 passing under the delivery point 36.
  • the feed devices 12 are also inclined with respect to the circumferential direction U, namely by an angle ⁇ 'which is complementary to the angle ⁇ .
  • the longitudinal direction L is therefore perpendicular to the main axis 12 ′ of the feed devices 12.
  • the support elements 20 require a certain time to move past a delivery point 36 in each case. As a result of the inclined position, there is therefore time to deliver the printed products 32 to the support elements 20.
  • a staircase is designated by 38, which enables an operator 38 'to access the bringing-together conveyor 10.
  • a removal point 39 is arranged downstream of the feed devices 12, at which the assembled printed products 32 are removed from the support elements 20. It is also conceivable to arrange the tapping point at the circular section 18 'and to provide further tapping points.
  • the device according to the invention can be constructed very compactly and thus requires little space.
  • the inclination angle ⁇ can be smaller, but also greater than 30 °.
  • the support members 22 are, for example, rod-shaped in order to form saddle-shaped supports for folded printed products 32, which are placed astride the support members 22. 2 shows such support members 22, which are also inclined by the angle ⁇ with respect to the direction of rotation U.
  • the traction element 14 can also be driven in the direction of rotation U ', which is opposite to the direction of rotation U.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of the matching conveyor 10, in which the longitudinal direction L of the support elements 20 runs in addition to the inclination by the angle ⁇ to a horizontal 40 at an acute angle of inclination ⁇ .
  • the support member 22, as shown in FIG. 3, is L-shaped in cross section, it is advantageously additionally tilted by an angle ⁇ to a vertical.
  • FIG. 5 shows two supporting elements 20 of the matching conveyor 10 which are driven in the direction of rotation U and which are inclined by the angle ⁇ and, as in FIG. 3, are tilted by the angle ⁇ .
  • the delivery point of one of the feed devices 12 is indicated by 36, in which a folded printed product 32 with the open edge 42 ′ of the so-called flower opposite the fold 42 is fed in advance from above to each support element 20 in the feed direction Z.
  • the printed products 32 fed to a support element 20 at the delivery points 36 come to rest with their edge 42 'on the floor 28 and lie flat next to one another, the printed product 32 adjacent to the wall 26 lying flat against that due to the tilted position.
  • FIG. 6 shows, as in FIG. 5, support elements 20 which are formed in the direction of rotation U and to which the printed products 32 are now fed with the fold 42 ahead in the feed direction Z at the delivery points 36, so that they rest with their fold 42 on the base 28 come.
  • the feed direction Z is essentially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L and a feed plane 44, in which the printed products 32 are conveyed at the delivery point 36, essentially parallel to the wall 26 of the relevant support element 20.
  • FIG. 7 shows two support elements 20 of the bringing-together conveyor 10, which are inclined at an angle ⁇ with respect to the direction of rotation U, tilted at an angle ⁇ with respect to the vertical 24 and inclined at an angle ⁇ with respect to the horizontal 40.
  • the longitudinal narrow side, overhead narrow side of the wall 26 of the support member 22 serves as a saddle-shaped support 46 for the printed products 32, which in the example shown are fed in with the edge 42 ′ in the feed direction Z and opened and placed astride the support member 22.
  • the wall 26 has a nose protruding upwards, which serves as a stop 48 for the printed products 32.
  • the printed products 32 released by the feed device 12 come to rest on the support 46 and slide up to the stop 48, as a result of which they are automatically aligned.
  • the printed products 32 can be fed with a corner 50 in front, which allows the printed products 32 to be opened only at this corner. Furthermore, when the printed products 32 are fed with the corner 50 ahead, the feed plane 44 can deviate considerably from a plane parallel to the longitudinal direction L. If the traction member 14 is further driven in the direction of rotation U ', the stop 48 is located at the rear end of the support 46 and the support member 22 as a result of the inclined position. In this case, the stop 48 automatically approaches the side edge 52 of the printed product that is being fed 32 so that even if the pad 46 were horizontal, it would become one Alignment of the printed products 32 comes to a stop 48.
  • Fig. 8 shows several support elements 20 of the bring-together conveyor 10, which are arranged in the same manner as in the embodiment shown in Figs. 5 and 6, they are inclined with respect to the direction of rotation U by the angle ⁇ and with respect to the vertical 24 around the Angle ⁇ tilted.
  • the walls 26 have a stop 48 for the printed products 32 on the trailing rear side edge as seen in the direction of rotation U as a result of the inclined position.
  • the longitudinal direction L runs horizontally.
  • the conveying members 34 of the feed devices 12 are designed as belt conveyors 54.
  • the printed products 32 are transported in a scale formation S, in which each printed product 32 rests on the next one, lying on the belt conveyors 54 in the feed direction Z.
  • the feed direction Z runs to a vertical plane 56, which runs in the circumferential direction U at the relevant delivery point 36, from above towards the bottom and at an angle ⁇ .
  • the printed products 32 which are arranged on the belt conveyor 54 with a fold 42 running at right angles to the feed direction Z, are fed to the support elements 20 with a corner 50 ahead.
  • the feed plane 44 defined by the belt conveyor 54 thus also runs obliquely with respect to the direction of rotation U and can deviate from a parallel plane to the wall 26 of the support element 20 moved past the delivery point 36.
  • the conveying direction U runs from the side of the printed products 32 facing the belt conveyor 54 to the side facing away from that.
  • the printed products 32 are peeled off from the respective subsequent printed product 32, so that each support element 20 is supplied with a printed product 32 at each delivery point 36; the speed of rotation of the support elements 20 and the conveying speed of the belt conveyors 54 are of course matched to one another.
  • the printed products 32 are automatically aligned at the stops 48.
  • the matching conveyor 10 according to FIG. 9 is constructed in the same way as that according to FIG. 8, but the direction of rotation U ′ is opposite to the direction of rotation U.
  • the inclination angle is also indicated with ⁇ and the tilt angle with ⁇ .
  • the feed devices 12 are also designed as belt conveyors 54, the feed plane 44 defined by them running approximately in the vertical direction and the feed direction Z with respect to the vertical plane 56 running in the circumferential direction U 'at an acute angle ⁇ and from top to bottom.
  • the printed products 32 are also fed in a scale formation S, but now looking in the direction towards the belt conveyor 54, each printed product 32 rests on the preceding printed product 32.
  • a pair of pressure belts 58 cooperates with the belt conveyor 54 in order to form a conveyor gap for the printed products 32. Due to the inclination of the belt conveyor 54 with respect to the vertical plane 56, the printed products 32 are again fed to the support elements 20 with a corner 50 ahead. The direction of rotation U ′ continues from the side of the printed products 32 facing away from the belt conveyor 54 to the side facing it, so that in the shingling shown the printed product 32 given to a support element 20 is in turn separated from the following.
  • a horizontal line 59 extends in the feed plane 44 with respect to the circumferential direction U ′ at an angle ⁇ which is greater than the inclination angle ⁇ , but preferably less than 90 °. It is thereby achieved that when the printed products 32 are inserted into the support elements 20 with a corner 50 ahead, the leading edge, viewed in the feed direction Z, the fold 42 in the example shown, essentially maintains a constant distance from the wall 26, which is particularly important gentle handling of the printed products 32 leads.
