Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor system for collating and processing of printed sheets, with a saddle-shaped collecting and a double chain, with a transfer area in which the collection chain enters the double chain and with drivers for the printed sheets arranged one behind the other on the collection chain are.
  • the invention also relates to a collection chain, in particular for a conveyor system according to claim 1.
  • the applicant's CH - A - 667 253 is a conveyor system become known for printed sheets that have an auxiliary chain, which is a gap between the end of a first conveyor chain center and bridged the beginning of a second conveyor chain center. With this conveyor system, the printed sheets can be moved laterally the auxiliary chain both from the inside and from the outside processed to the fold. In particular, this is a Label with an ink jet device right down to the fold neighboring areas without much effort.
  • a conveyor system with a collection chain is also known Has driver in the form of laterally protruding horns.
  • the collection chain is a single chain and thus has opposite the advantage of a double chain that even over large Collection routes no division differences can occur.
  • the Collection chain dives into a double chain in the transfer area a.
  • the printed products can be stapled on this double chain because the double chain creates a space for the bending mechanism the stapler.
  • the disadvantage is this conveyor system, especially for small formats optimal design of the double chain.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a conveyor system of the type mentioned, which avoids the disadvantage mentioned and which is still functionally reliable with the same or higher performance and is suitable for all formats.
  • the task is solved in a generic conveyor system in that the drivers are fixed standing on the collection chain.
  • the now possible narrow design of the collecting chain and the arrangement of the carriers on the ridge of the collecting chain also allow the formation of a correspondingly narrow double chain, which greatly facilitates the detection and processing of small printed sheets.
  • a narrow collection chain also enables the printed sheets to be grasped closer to the fold.
  • the submergence of the drivers of the collection chain in the transfer area allows optimal use of the division on the collection chain; the division is not shortened by swiveling the submerged drivers away.
  • Another advantage of the conveyor system according to the invention is seen in the fact that the printed sheets do not have to be opened as much when they are placed on the collecting chain, which is particularly advantageous at high running speeds. It is also advantageous that the basic structure of the double chain does not have to be changed.
  • the drivers of the collecting chain are inclined forward at least in the running direction.
  • the special design of the carriers of the collection chain has the advantage that this has a favorable influence on the impact behavior and acceleration of a printed sheet when it is placed on the collection chain.
  • a printed product to be placed can bounce upwards and jump away, the angled driver throws the product back onto the collecting chain.
  • the printed product can therefore not jump over the driver and accordingly the driver can be made shorter than in a straight version of the driver.
  • the conveyor system 1 shown in Figure 1 has an endlessly rotating Collection chain 2 and an endless chain Double chain 3 on.
  • the collection chain 2 is used in a manner known per se Way to collate printed products 4 that are on the Double chain 3 further processed, for example stapled or can be addressed.
  • the collection chain 2 is a link chain and runs around the sprocket 6, while the double chain 3 around the Sprocket 7 runs.
  • the two sprockets 6 and 7 are with an overdrive 8 connected to each other.
  • the collection chain 2 is thus driven via the double chain 3.
  • B driver 5 attached to the active strand 2a as protrude upward in FIG. 1.
  • the double chain 3 also has C carriers 9 at equal intervals, which but protrude laterally according to Figure 2.
  • Each driver 9 here consists of two laterally projecting wings 9a.
  • the collecting chain 2 travels in a transfer area A. the double chain 3 and runs after this area A around that Sprocket 6.
  • the collecting chain 2 is in front of the sprocket 7 on a guide rail 14 and after the chain wheel 6 on a Guide rail 15 out.
  • the active strand 2a of the collecting chain 2 is immersed in the double chain 3.
  • the drivers 5 are in the range of Sprocket 7 at the top of the double chain 3 completely protrudes and completely or partially submerged in the area of the sprocket 6.
  • the transfer area A the printed products 4 from the double chain 3 adopted.
  • FIG. 2 shows the sprocket 7, which is rotatable about an axis 10 is stored and deflects the double chain 3.
  • This double chain 3 has two parallel and spaced from each other Articulated chains 12 on which support elements 31 are attached are, of which each have a wing 9a.
  • Two opposite wings 9a form a driver 9. Between the two driver wings 9a of a driver 9 and also between the support elements 31 Gap 32, which is just as wide that the collection chain 2 enters can. It is now essential that the collection chain 2 is comparatively is narrow and accordingly the gap 32 is also comparatively narrow.
  • the width D of the Collection chain 2 is about 20 mm and is preferably narrower than 30 mm.
  • the double chain 3 is therefore also suitable for inclusion of comparatively small format print products.
  • the Link chain 1 of the collection chain 2 is a chain of the type a bicycle chain and has laterally projecting bolts 21 on which elements 19 and 20 are attached.
  • the Elements 19 and 20 are preferably U-shaped plastic parts for Hold two bolts 21 each have holes 22.
  • the two legs 20a of the elements 19 and 20 are according to FIG. 8 in the area of the active run 2a on a comb 14a of the guide rail 14 out.
  • the elements 20 differ of the elements 19 only by one attached to it Driver 5.
  • This driver is designed in accordance with Figure 3 is angular and has a foot part 5b and a head part 5a. Extends in the active strand 2a according to FIG.
  • the headboard 5a can according to FIG. 7 with a joint 34 on the foot part 5b attached and can be adjusted in its inclination.
  • the operation of the driver 5 is based on the Figures 3 and 4 explained in more detail below.
  • the collection chain 2 moves continuously in the direction of Arrow 25.
  • the bow 4 becomes vertical in the direction of arrow 26 placed on the collection chain 2.
  • the relative movement and speed is indicated by arrow 27.
  • the Bow 4 in the direction of arrow 28 from the collecting chain 2 takes off.
  • the rear edge 4b strikes the driver 5 on. Is the driver 5 stretched and vertical according to Figure 4 protruding from the collecting chain 2, the printed sheet 4 in Direction of the arrow deflected up and forward and can jump off the collection chain 2.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 show two drivers 23 and 24 for also possible variants. This is also here upper end 23a or 24a inclined in the running direction. Is conceivable however, also a version in which the drivers according to Figure 4 stretched and thus exactly vertical in the active strand 2a are above.
