Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Kreuzleger für Papierprodukte nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 (vgl. DE-U-93 17 919.7).The present invention relates to a stacker for paper products according to the preamble of claim 1 (see. DE-U-93 17 919.7).

Derartige Kreuzleger sind grundsätzlich bekannt und dienen dazu, einzelne Papierprodukte, beispielsweise Zeitschriften, Werbebroschüren, Zeitungen und dergleichen zu einem Stapel zu formen, der um 180° versetzte Teilstapel enthält. Da Druckprodukte üblicherweise einen Falz aufweisen, ist ein um 180° versetztes Stapeln der Druckprodukte erforderlich, damit auch bei höheren Produktstapeln die Ausrichtung des Stapels erhalten bleibt.Such staplers are generally known and are used to serve individual Paper products, for example magazines, advertising brochures, newspapers and the like to form a stack which was offset by 180 ° Contains partial batches. Since printed products usually have a fold, it is necessary to stack the printed products offset by 180 ° so that maintain the alignment of the stack even with higher product stacks remains.

Bei den bekannten Kreuzlegern wird der in Schuppenformation angelieferte Produktstrom auf ein erstes Aufnahmeelement in Form eines Rechens gefördert, wodurch ein erster Teilstapel gebildet wird. Unterhalb dieses Rechens ist ein oder sind mehrere weitere Rechen angeordnet, wobei sämtliche Rechen in vertikaler Richtung stationär sind. Nachdem der auf dem obersten Rechen befindliche Produktstapel eine bestimmte Höhe erreicht hat, wird dieser Rechen, der zweiteilig ausgebildet ist, geöffnet, wodurch der Produktstapel auf den darunterliegenden Rechen fällt. Nach weiterem Erhöhen des Stapels durch Zuführen von Druckprodukten wird auch dieser Rechen geöffnet, wodurch der Produktstapel auf einen weiteren Rechen oder in einen Drehkorb fällt, der den darin befindlichen Stapel um 180° dreht. In the well-known cross layers, the one delivered in scale formation Product flow on a first receiving element in the form of a rake promoted, whereby a first partial stack is formed. Below this rake is one or more additional rakes are arranged, whereby all rakes are stationary in the vertical direction. After the product stack on the top rake a certain height has reached, this rake, which is formed in two parts, is opened, whereby the product stack falls on the underlying rake. To further increasing the stack by feeding printed products this rake also opened, causing the product stack to be another Rake or falls into a rotating basket that holds the stack inside rotates by 180 °.

Aus der DE-B-12 28 275 ist ein Kreuzleger mit einem Drehkorb bekannt, der ein stationäres und ein vertikal verschiebbares Aufnahmeelement aufweist. Beide Aufnahmeelemente sind unter einem Winkel von etwa 40° zur Horizontalen angeordnet, wobei das ortsfeste Aufnahmeelement aus zwei plattenartigen Hälften besteht, die so weit geöffnet werden können, dass das vertikal bewegbare Aufnahmeelement in Form einer Platte durch die beiden Hälften hindurch bewegbar ist.A stacker with a rotating basket is known from DE-B-12 28 275, which is a stationary and a vertically displaceable receiving element having. Both receiving elements are at an angle of approximately 40 ° arranged to the horizontal, with the stationary receiving element consists of two plate-like halves that can be opened so far that the vertically movable receiving element in the form of a plate the two halves can be moved through.

Aus der US-A-5,328,823 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Bilden von Stapeln aus Endlosgewebe bekannt, das mit Flüssigkeit getränkt ist. Bei dieser bekannten Vorrichtung sind bügelartige Aufnahmeelemente vorgesehen, die zum Öffnen um eine horizontale Achse verschwenkt werden müssen. Die Öffnungsweite der Aufnahmeelemente ist so gewählt, dass ein geschlossenes Aufnahmeelement durch ein geöffnetes Aufnahmeelement hindurch bewegt werden kann. US-A-5,328,823 discloses a device for forming stacks Endless fabric known to be soaked in liquid. In this known Device are provided bracket-like receiving elements have to be pivoted about a horizontal axis for opening. The Opening width of the receiving elements is chosen so that a closed Receiving element through an open receiving element can be moved.

Es ist das der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Problem (Aufgabe), einen Kreuzleger der eingangs genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß bei erhöhter Taktgeschwindigkeit eine schonende Stapelbildung erfolgt, bei welcher die gestapelten Produkte ihre Umfangskontur beibehalten.It is the problem (object) on which the invention is based, one To improve stacker of the type mentioned so that a gentle cycle at increased cycle speed Stacking takes place, in which the stacked products their Maintain circumferential contour.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1. Erfindungsgemäß kann der auf dem ersten Aufnahmeelement gebildete Teilstapel mit sehr geringer Fallhöhe an die Dreheinrichtung übergeben werden. Zudem ist nach dem Bilden des Produktstapels keine Übergabe erforderlich, bevor dieser in die Dreheinrichtung fällt. Es kann also mit nur zwei Aufnahmeelementen ohne Zwischenübergabe des Stapels eine geringe Fallhöhe erzielt werden, so daß der gebildete Produktstapel seine Außenkontur beibehält.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1. According to the invention on the first receiving element Partial stack formed with a very low drop height to the rotating device be handed over. In addition, there is none after forming the product stack Handover required before it falls into the rotating device. It can So with only two receiving elements without intermediate transfer of the stack a small drop can be achieved, so that the product stack formed maintains its outer contour.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in der Beschreibung, den Zeichnungen sowie den Unteransprüchen beschrieben.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are in the description, the drawings and the subclaims.

Nach der Erfindung bestehen die vertikal verschiebbaren Aufnahmeelemente aus zwei Hälften, die horizontal auseinander bewegbar sind. Beispielsweise können zwei aufeinander zustellbare Rechen vorgesehen sein. Eine derartige Ausführungsform eines Aufnahmeelementes, die grundsätzlich zwar bereits bekannt ist, ermöglicht in Verbindung mit der Absenkbarkeit eine außerordentlich schonende Behandlung des Stapels bei hohen Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten.According to the invention, they are vertical sliding receptacles made of two halves that are horizontally apart are movable. For example, two deliverable on each other Rake can be provided. Such an embodiment of a receiving element, which is basically already known, enables in Combined with the lowerability, an extremely gentle treatment of the stack at high processing speeds.

Der obere Totpunkt des ersten Aufnahmeelementes liegt vorteilhafterweise unmittelbar unterhalb einer Zuführeinrichtung der Papierprodukte, so daß die zu stapelnden Papierprodukte direkt und mit geringer Fallhöhe auf dem ersten Aufnahmeelement gesammelt werden, wobei während des Sammelns der Papierprodukte bereits ein leichtes Absenken des ersten Aufnahmeelementes erfolgen kann. Alternativ ist es jedoch auch möglich, den oberen Totpunkt nicht unmittelbar unterhalb der Zuführeinrichtung anzuordnen. In diesem Fall kann der geschaffene Raum als Vorsammelbereich genutzt werden.The top dead center of the first receiving element is advantageously immediately below a feed device for the paper products, so that the paper products to be stacked directly and with a low drop height be collected on the first receiving element, wherein during the Collecting the paper products already slightly lower the first one Receiving element can be done. Alternatively, it is also possible top dead center not immediately below the feeder to arrange. In this case, the space created can be used as a pre-collection area be used.

Der untere Totpunkt beider Aufnahmeelemente kann gleich sein, so daß beide Aufnahmeelemente abwechselnd einen Stapel aufnehmen und fördern, wobei die Laufzeiten für das Anheben und Absenken der Aufnahmeelemente optimierbar sind.The bottom dead center of both receiving elements can be the same, so that alternately take up and convey both receiving elements a stack, the running times for raising and lowering the receiving elements can be optimized.

Der untere Totpunkt des weiteren Aufnahmeelementes kann unmittelbar oberhalb eines nachgeordneten, weiteren Aufnahmeelementes oder unmittelbar oberhalb der Dreheinrichtung liegen, so daß auch hier eine geringe Fallhöhe gegeben ist.The bottom dead center of the further receiving element can be immediate above a subordinate, further receiving element or immediately lie above the rotating device, so that here too a small Fall height is given.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn insgesamt nur ein erstes und ein weiteres Aufnahmeelement vorgesehen sind, da hier der konstruktive Aufwand minimiert ist und mit insgesamt nur zwei Aufnahmeelementen auf schonende Weise Produktstapel gebildet werden können, die während des Stapelns und des Kreuzlegens ihre äußere Kontur beibehalten.It is particularly advantageous if only a first and a further total Receiving element are provided, since here the design effort is minimized and with a total of only two receiving elements on gentle Way, product stacks can be formed while stacking and the cross laying maintain their outer contour.

Bei den beschriebenen Verfahren zum Kreuzlegen von Papierprodukten werden ebenfalls die eingangs geschilderten Vorteile erzielt. Hierbei können die Aufnahmeelemente erfindungsgemäß kontinuierlich oder schrittweise getaktet abgesenkt und angehoben werden. Bevorzugt werden die Aufnahmeelemente in Ansprechen auf ein Sensorsignal abgesenkt und angehoben, das von einem Sensor, beispielsweise einer Lichtschranke oder einem Mikroschalter erzeugt wird. Hierdurch kann auch bei Kreuzlegen von Produkten mit unterschiedlicher Dicke das Kreuzlegen optimiert erfolgen, da die Bildung der Teilstapel innerhalb des Kreuzlegers sensorgesteuert vorgenommen werden kann.In the described processes for cross-laying paper products the advantages described above are also achieved. in this connection can the receiving elements according to the invention continuously or gradually lowered and raised clocked. To be favoured the receiving elements lowered in response to a sensor signal and raised by a sensor, such as a light barrier or a microswitch is generated. This can also be used for cross laying Optimizing cross-laying of products with different thicknesses take place, since the formation of the partial stacks within the stacker is sensor-controlled can be made.

Als Antriebselemente können neben Stellzylindern auch Motoren Anwendung finden, wobei die Momentenübertragung über Zahnriemen, Zahnstangen, Gewindespindeln oder Ketten erfolgen kann.In addition to actuating cylinders, motors can also be used as drive elements find, where the torque transmission via timing belts, racks, Threaded spindles or chains can be made.

Wie gut zu erkennen ist, besteht das weitere Aufnahmeelement 18 - wie auch das erste Aufnahmeelement 16 - aus zwei Hälften mit Zinken 21, 23, die über Stellzylinder 20, 22 in horizontaler Richtung bewegbar sind. Die Öffnungsweite der beiden Rechenhälften ist so bemessen, daß ein auf dem Aufnahmeelement 18 befindlicher Produktstapel nach Auseinanderziehen der beiden Rechenhälften frei in den darunter befindlichen Drehkorb 12 fallen kann.Fig. 2 shows a plan view of the further receiving element 18 in the open Status. As can be seen clearly, there is the further receiving element 18 - as well as the first receiving element 16 - from two halves with tines 21, 23, the actuating cylinder 20, 22 in the horizontal direction are movable. The opening width of the two halves of the screen is dimensioned so that a product stack located on the receiving element 18 after pulling apart the two rake halves freely in the one below located rotary basket 12 can fall.

In Fig. 1 ist der obere Totpunkt des ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16 mit OT1 und der obere Totpunkt des weiteren Aufnahmeelementes 18 mit OT2 bezeichnet, wohingegen dessen unterer Totpunkt mit UT2 bezeichnet ist. Diese untere Lage des weiteren Aufnahmeelementes 18 ist in Fig. 1 gestrichelt dargestellt. Der in der Zeichnung dargestellte obere Totpunkt OT2 des weiteren Aufnahmeelementes 18 liegt dabei unmittelbar unterhalb des in Fig. 1 in die Produktübergabeposition gefahrenen ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16. Abhängig von der gewünschten Stapelhöhe kann jedoch von den Aufnahmeelementen 16, 18 jeder beliebige Übergabepunkt angesteuert werden.In Fig. 1, the top dead center of the first receiving element 16 with OT 1 and the top dead center of the other receiving element 18 with OT 2 , whereas its bottom dead center is called UT 2 . This lower layer of the further receiving element 18 is shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1. The top dead center OT 2 of the further receiving element 18 shown in the drawing is located directly below the first receiving element 16 moved into the product transfer position in FIG. 1.

Um bei einer Produktübergabe einen möglichst geringen Abstand zwischen dem ersten Aufnahmeelement 16 und dem weiteren Aufnahmeelement 18 zu ermöglichen, sind die Stellzylinder der ersten Aufnahmeeinrichtung 16 und die Stellzylinder 20, 22 der zweiten Aufnahmeeinrichtung 18 in der Horizontalen leicht gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet. In order to keep the smallest possible distance between the first receiving element 16 and the further receiving element 18 to enable the actuating cylinders of the first receiving device 16 and the actuating cylinders 20, 22 of the second receiving device 18 slightly offset from each other in the horizontal.

Im Betrieb des erfindungsgemäßen Kreuzlegers werden die in Schuppenformation angelieferten Druckprodukte (in Fig. 1 senkrecht zur Zeichenebene) auf das erste Aufnahmeelement 16, das geschlossen ist, gefördert, so daß sich ein erster Teilstapel bildet. Bei Erreichen einer bestimmten Stapelhöhe erfolgt ein Absenken des ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16 über den Stellzylinder 26. Anschließend öffnen sich die beiden Rechenhälften des ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16, so daß der Stapel auf das unmittelbar darunter befindliche weitere Aufnahmeelement 18 fällt, das geschlossen ist. Dabei muß ein äußerst geringer Weg zurückgelegt werden.In operation of the stacker according to the invention, they are in scale formation delivered print products (in Fig. 1 perpendicular to the drawing plane) conveyed to the first receiving element 16, which is closed, so that a first partial stack is formed. When a certain one is reached The first receiving element 16 is lowered over the stack height the actuating cylinder 26. Then the two rake halves open of the first receiving element 16, so that the stack on the immediately underlying further receiving element 18 falls, the closed is. An extremely short distance has to be covered.

Nachfolgend bleiben die beiden Rechenhälften des ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16 geöffnet und das weitere Aufnahmeelement 18 wird über den Stellzylinder 26' kontinuierlich oder schrittweise abgesenkt. Gleichzeitig wird das erste Aufnahmeelement 16 bis zum oberen Totpunkt OT1 angehoben. Bei Erreichen des unteren Totpunktes UT2 werden die beiden Rechenhälften des weiteren Aufnahmeelementes 18 geöffnet. Währenddessen kann auf dem inzwischen geschlossenen ersten Aufnahmeelement 16 ein weiterer Stapel gebildet werden, während der vorher auf dem weiteren Aufnahmeelement 18 gebildete Stapel in den Drehkorb 12 fällt. Während der Stapelbildung auf dem ersten Aufnahmeelement 16 kann das weitere Aufnahmeelement 18 geschlossen und bis an den Übergabepunkt herangefahren werden. Gleichzeitig kann der Drehkorb 12 um 180° gedreht werden, um das Kreuzlegen zu bewirken. Nachdem der Stapel im Drehkorb 12 die gewünschte Höhe erreicht hat, wird dieser seitlich aus dem Drehkorb herausgeschoben oder mittels einer Greifvorrichtung aus diesem entfernt. Subsequently, the two rake halves of the first receiving element 16 remain open and the further receiving element 18 is lowered continuously or stepwise via the actuating cylinder 26 '. At the same time, the first receiving element 16 is raised to the top dead center OT 1 . When bottom dead center UT 2 is reached , the two rake halves of further receiving element 18 are opened. In the meantime, a further stack can be formed on the now closed first receiving element 16, while the stack previously formed on the further receiving element 18 falls into the rotating basket 12. During the stack formation on the first receiving element 16, the further receiving element 18 can be closed and moved up to the transfer point. At the same time, the rotating basket 12 can be rotated through 180 ° in order to effect cross-laying. After the stack in the rotating basket 12 has reached the desired height, it is pushed sideways out of the rotating basket or removed from it by means of a gripping device.

Zur Steuerung der Aufnahmeelemente 16, 18 sind Sensoren vorgesehen, die beispielsweise oberhalb des ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16 angeordnet sind, um das Erreichen einer bestimmten Vorstapelhöhe zu detektieren. Nachdem der auf dem ersten Aufnahmeelement 16 gebildete Stapel eine bestimmte Höhe erreicht hat, gibt ein Sensorelement ein Signal aus, um ein Absenken und anschließendes Öffnen des ersten Aufnahmeelementes 16 und ein nachfolgendes Absenken des weiteren Aufnahmeelementes 18 auszulösen. Das Absenken der Aufnahmeelemente 16, 18 kann entweder kontinuierlich oder getaktet erfolgen, wobei im Falle eines getakteten Absenkes Vorteile bei der Ansteuerung erzielt werden.Sensors are provided to control the receiving elements 16, 18. arranged for example above the first receiving element 16 are to detect the reaching of a certain pre-stack height. After the stack formed on the first receiving element 16 is a has reached a certain height, a sensor element emits a signal to lowering and then opening the first receiving element 16 and a subsequent lowering of the further receiving element 18 trigger. The lowering of the receiving elements 16, 18 can either take place continuously or clocked, whereby in the case of a clocked lowering Control advantages can be achieved.

Nach einer weiteren in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform ist ein Bewegungsablauf möglich, bei dem die Aufnahmeelemente sich jeweils so weit öffnen, daß diese außen aneinander vorbeigeführt werden können, wodurch diese wechselweise und zyklisch die Produkte aufnehmen, absenken und ablegen. Fig. 3 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf diese alternative Ausführungsform eines Kreuzlegers, wobei für gleiche Bauteile identische, jedoch gestrichene Bezugszeichen verwendet sind.According to a further embodiment shown in Fig. 3 is a sequence of movements possible, in which the receiving elements each so far open that these can be passed outside each other, whereby they alternately and cyclically pick up and lower the products and put it down. 3 shows a top view of this alternative embodiment of a stacker, with identical components being the same, however deleted reference numerals are used.

Der in Fig. 3 dargestellte Kreuzleger für Papierprodukte weist ein erstes Aufnahmeelement 16' in Form eines Rechens auf, der aus zwei Hälften besteht, die durch Zinken 21' gebildet sind. Die beiden Hälften des Aufnahmeelementes 16' sind über Stellzylinder 20' aufeinander zu und voneinander weg bewegbar, so daß von den Zinken der beiden Rechenhälften eine im wesentlichen geschlossene Aufnahmefläche gebildet werden kann, die sich durch Auseinanderbewegen der beiden Rechenhälften, das heißt durch Aktivieren der Stellzylinder 20', öffnen läßt, so daß ein darauf befindlicher Stapel nach unten fällt. Das Aufnahmeelement 16' ist über einen Montagewinkel 24' an einem weiteren Stellzylinder 27' befestigt, der eine vertikale Verschiebung des Aufnahmeelementes 16' ermöglicht.The stacker for paper products shown in FIG. 3 has a first one Receiving element 16 'in the form of a rake made up of two halves exists, which are formed by prongs 21 '. The two halves of the receiving element 16 'are towards and from each other via actuating cylinders 20' movable away so that the tines of the two rake halves an essentially closed receiving surface can be formed, which move by moving the two halves of the rake apart, that is by activating the actuating cylinder 20 ', can be opened, so that one located thereon Stack falls down. The receiving element 16 'is over a Mounting bracket 24 'attached to another actuating cylinder 27', the enables a vertical displacement of the receiving element 16 '.

Der in Fig. 3 dargestellte Kreuzleger weist ein weiteres Aufnahmeelement 18' auf, das in gleicher Weise wie das erste Aufnahmeelement 16' ausgebildet ist. Beide Aufnahmeelemente 16' und 18' besitzen eine solche Öffnungsweite, daß das jeweils andere Aufnahmeelement in geschlossenem Zustand zwischen den beiden Hälften des einen Aufnahmeelementes hindurchgeführt werden kann, wie dies in Fig. 3 dargestellt ist. Beide Aufnahmeelemente 16' und 18' sind durch die Stellzylinder 27' und 28' vertikal von einer Aufnahmeposition unmittelbar unterhalb einer Zuführeinrichtung für Papierprodukte zu einer Abgabeposition unmittelbar oberhalb der Dreheinrichtung verschiebbar bzw. bewegbar.The stacker shown in Fig. 3 has a further receiving element 18 'formed in the same way as the first receiving element 16' is. Both receiving elements 16 'and 18' have such an opening width, that the other receiving element in the closed State passed between the two halves of the one receiving element can be, as shown in Fig. 3. Both recording elements 16 'and 18' are vertical through the actuating cylinders 27 'and 28' from a pick-up position immediately below a feed device for paper products to a delivery position immediately above the rotating device is displaceable or movable.

Bei der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausführungsform wird zunächst der in Fig. 3 mit P bezeichnete Produktstrom auf das erste Aufnahmeelement 16' gefördert, das unmittelbar unterhalb dieses zugeführten Produktstromes in geschlossenem Zustand angeordnet ist. Anschließend wird das Aufnahmeelement 16' abgesenkt, wodurch sich auf diesem ein Stapel bildet. Nachdem dieser Stapel eine gewünschte Höhe erreicht hat, wird das Aufnahmeelement 16' mit Hilfe des Stellzylinders 27' beschleunigt abgesenkt. Gleichzeitig wird das weitere Aufnahmeelement 18', das in der Aufnahmeposition bereitgestellt worden ist, geschlossen, so daß auf diesem ein weiterer Stapel gebildet werden kann. Nachdem das erste Aufnahmeelement 16' die Abgabeposition unmittelbar oberhalb des Drehkorbes 12 erreicht hat, wird dieses geöffnet, so daß der Stapel in den Drehkorb fällt Der Drehkorb wird anschließend um 180° gedreht. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the one in 3 product flow on the first receiving element 16 ' promoted that immediately below this supplied product stream is arranged in the closed state. Then the receiving element 16 'lowered, thereby forming a stack on this. After this stack has reached a desired height, the receiving element 16 'accelerated lowered with the help of the actuating cylinder 27'. At the same time, the further receiving element 18 ', which is in the receiving position has been provided, closed, so that another Stack can be formed. After the first receiving element 16 'reaches the delivery position immediately above the rotating basket 12 has, this is opened so that the stack falls into the rotary basket The rotating basket is then turned through 180 °.

Das Aufnahmeelement 16' wird anschließend in geöffnetem Zustand bis in die obere Aufnahmeposition gefahren und dann wieder geschlossen, wenn der auf dem weiteren Aufnahmeelement gebildete Stapel die gewünschte Höhe erreicht hat. Bei dieser Ausführungsform können auf vorteilhafte Weise die Geschwindigkeiten der beiden Aufnahmeelemente relativ zueinander variiert werden.The receiving element 16 'is then in the open state until in moved to the upper recording position and then closed again when the stack formed on the further receiving element is the desired one Has reached height. In this embodiment, advantageous Way the speeds of the two receiving elements relative to each other can be varied.

Grundsätzlich kann der Sammelvorgang einer Lage schon beendet sein, bevor die Absenkbewegung beginnt, d.h. der Absenkvorgang kann zum Sammeln und/oder zum Transport einer fertigen Lage nach unten dienen.In principle, the process of collecting a layer can already be completed, before the lowering movement begins, i.e. the lowering process can Collect and / or serve to transport a finished layer down.

Um ein sauberes Eintauchen der Rechen in den zugeführten Produktstrom zu erzielen, wird der Schuppenstrom beim Wechsel der Aufnahmeelemente durch eine Trenneinrichtung kurz angehalten.To ensure that the rake is immersed properly in the supplied product stream to achieve the scale flow when changing the receiving elements stopped briefly by a separator.
