Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for collecting printed products into printed products according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for performing the method.
  • this object is achieved according to the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
  • the production or the performance of a system can be considerably improved or almost doubled without costly changes to the existing inserting machine.
  • This procedure also allows further processing of the printed products from the shingled stream or individually, for example using a cellular wheel.
  • the printed products can advantageously be recorded together in a juxtaposed manner and thus form a compact partial product which has proven to be favorable for further processing.
  • the union of two printed products can be achieved in that the collecting point has an intermediate conveyor which temporarily detects the printed products brought up on the feed line and forms a companion path with the feed line, which, in cooperation with the stapling device, detects the printed product brought up on the feed line from the stapling device and to it exempted for re-entry.
  • a device with an endlessly rotating conveyor or cycle conveyor feeding a printed product in brackets on an infeed line to a processing point proves to be advantageous, in which, below the conveyor, a further printed product opening into the orbit of the printed products, in each case a further printed product in rhythm with the conveyor, ie Driven to this synchronously and in the area of the collection point approximately in the same direction, the revolving conveyor feeding the open stapling device is arranged, which has a collection point of two with an intermediate conveyor located opposite the orbit of the printed products and actuatable by control means and actuated in the approximate range with the transporter in the proximity area merged bwz. to form combined printing products.
  • the conveyor is formed by controllable drivers fastened at intervals to a pulling element and communicating with the opened clamp devices at the collection point.
  • the distance of the conveyor or its position relative to the conveyor or the clamp devices on the feed line can be adjusted, that is, according to the height as well as the length in the conveying direction, so that a Adaptation of the cooperating organs to the respectively chosen circumstances is possible.
  • a guide device is connected upstream along the conveyor, which changes the hanging products of the printed products brought to the conveyor, so that the feeding area to the clamping devices is expanded.
  • the carriers of the conveyor are advantageously designed for loading by a transporter or known investors, in the case of a transporter they and the conveyor forming a common loading or transfer path.
  • an intermediate conveyor When an intermediate conveyor is selected, it can be designed as a rotor driven about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transporter, the tongs attached to the circumference of which can be actuated by control means, the tongs being driven or actuated in synchrony with the transporter's clamping devices.
  • the clamp devices each have a third, controllable clamp part, with which a clamp part of a first clamp of the clamp device forms a second clamp, with which an equally high operational reliability is achieved.
  • a clamp device with one fixed and two controllable, movable clamp parts has proven to be simple.
  • the movable clamp parts can be arranged on both sides of the fixed clamp part or on one side of the fixed clamp part on the one hand and on the other hand cooperating.
  • the device according to the invention is suitable for a plug-in machine, where it is connected upstream of this in a feed line.
  • the sponsor of the facility can optionally be delivered to a carrier.
  • Fig. 1 shows a device 1 for collecting printed products 2, 3 of different types, respectively to printed products. Partial products.
  • the printed products 2 are fed, for example, along feed lines 4 from a printing press or from storage facilities by means of a conveyor 5 to one or more processing points or stations (not shown), the conveyor 5 being designed as an endlessly rotating traction element, on which the clamping device 6 are arranged one behind the other at intervals .
  • the conveyor section of the conveyor 5 shown has a collection point 7 in front of a processing point (not visible), where each clamping device 6 of the conveyor 5 with a different or. further printed product 3 can be loaded. Both printed products 2, 3 are brought together at the collection point 7 and conveyed together in the clamp device 6 of the transporter 5 to the next processing point.
  • the printed product 2 is picked up at the collecting point 7 by an intermediate conveyor 8 and immediately released from the stapling device 6, which opens for this purpose.
  • the intermediate conveyor 8 On the intermediate conveyor 8, the printed product 2 accompanies the open stapler 6 and it becomes the stapler the further printed product 3 fed by a conveyor 9.
  • the conveyor 9 consists of an endless traction means 10, rotating drivers 11, which are controllable and can be fed into a transport position.
  • the conveyor 9 forms, with a (partially) illustrated conveyor device 12, a takeover area 13 in which the printed products 3 are delivered to the drivers 11 of the conveyor 9.
  • this requires an at least approximately synchronous interaction between the conveyor 9 and the conveying device.
  • the conveyor sections of the conveyor 9 and conveyor device 12 determining the takeover area are arranged approximately parallel to one another, so that movement in the same direction and at the same speed can occur, in which the printed products 3 are taken over by the drivers 11.
  • the printed products 3 protrude the carriers 11 of the conveyor 9 towards the clamping device 6, so that they can be removed from the latter without any problems.
  • the printed products 3 assume a position inclined in the conveying direction F, in order to be able to pass under the printed product 2 assigned to them before merging.
  • the printed product 2 slides with the freely movable end over a guide device 14 in order to thereby create a larger feed area for printed product 3 before it dips into the open clamp device 6 with the front end.
  • the clamping device 6 detects the printed products 2, 3 and the intermediate conveyor 8 detaches from the printed product 2.
  • clamp devices 6 of the conveyor 5 or the tongs 15 could be controlled such that they cover a short distance together in order to be able to favor the takeover conditions.
  • the clamp devices 6 feeding the printed products 2 to the transporter 5 could be constructed in several parts, ie have three clamp elements.
  • the first (rear) clamp 19 transporting the printed product 2 would not open during the takeover of the printed product 3 by the opened second clamp 20 of the clamp device 6.
  • the second clip 20 closes as soon as the printed product 3 has reached its clamping position.
  • FIG. 3 shows an intermediate conveyor 8 which has tongs 15 which are fixed at intervals on traction elements 23 rotating around two axes 21, 22 and which temporarily take over the printed product 2 fed by the clamping device 6 until printed product 3 is introduced into the clamping device 6.
  • the conveyor 9 is formed from a drum 24 which has grippers 25 distributed around the circumference, which grip the printed products 3 on the side edges after they have been fed by a conveyor device 12 (conveyor).
  • the grippers 25 form a transfer point in the vicinity of the orbit of the conveyor device 12 at which the grippers 25 run approximately in the same direction as the conveyor device 12.
  • the conveying device 12 at the transfer point 26 has a convexly curved conveying section directed towards the drum 24, on which the printed products 3 transported by the conveying device 12, clamped on the fold side, pass underneath by a lifting device 27 and are lifted out of the free hanging position and laterally by the grippers 25 be recorded.
  • the lifting device provides a plurality of pivotally controlled support elements 29 which rotate about an axis 28 which is parallel to the axis of rotation of the drum 24 and which temporarily receives the printed products 3 and which intersect the orbit of the grippers 25 of the drum 24 on their movement path.
  • the movement path of the support elements 29 is circular and the support elements 29 each have levers 30 which are connected to the support elements 29 on a pivot axis 31 and are adjustable by a control cam 32.
