Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Ausrichten, Abpressen und Ausstoßen von Paketen lose gestapelter Druckerzeugnisse, bestehend aus einem Zulaufförderer und einem Pakettisch sowie seitlich am Pakettisch angeordneten zusammen- und auseinanderfahrbaren Paketausrichtplatten und einer auf das jeweilige Paket aufsetzbaren Abpreßeinrichtung, wobei fernerhin eine Ausstoßeinrichtung zum Ausstoßen der ausgerichteten und abgepreßten Pakete vorgesehen ist.The invention relates to an alignment device, Squeezing and ejecting packets loosely stacked Print products, consisting of a feed conveyor and a parcel table and arranged on the side of the parcel table collapsible and extendable package alignment plates and a pressing device that can be placed on the respective package, furthermore, an ejection device for Ejecting the aligned and pressed packages is provided.

Druckerzeugnisse meint im Rahmen der Erfindung insbesondere Kataloge, Prospekte oder Zeitschriften. Nach dem Drucken müssen diese Druckerzeugnisse für die Lagerung und/oder den Transport zu ausgerichteten und abgepreßten Paketen zusammengefaßt werden. Zweckmäßigerweise werden diese Pakete aus Druckerzeugnissen vorzugsweise beim Ausrichten und/oder Abpressen auch elektrostatisch aufgeladen, wodurch ein Auseinanderfallen der Pakete im Zuge einer Manipulation verhindert werden kann, weil die Druckerzeugnisse aneinanderhaften. Diese Maßnahme ist unter der Bezeichnung Verblocken bekannt.In the context of the invention, printed matter means in particular Catalogs, brochures or magazines. After printing must print these for storage and / or the Transport to aligned and pressed packages be summarized. These are expediently Packages of printed matter preferably when aligning and / or pressing also electrostatically charged, whereby a breakdown of the packages in the course of manipulation can be prevented because of the printed matter stick together. This measure is called Blocking known.

Bei aus der Praxis bekannten Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art werden die ausgerichteten abgepreßten und vorzugsweise verblockten Pakete mit Hilfe einer Ausstoßeinrichtung von dem Pakettisch auf einen Auslaufförderer gebracht. Der Auslaufförderer ist dabei im wesentlichen senkrecht zum Zulaufförderer angeordnet. Die Ausstoßeinrichtung besteht bei den bekannten Vorrichtungen aus einem einzigen Ausstoßarm, der zum Zwecke des Ausstoßens eines Paketes in Richtung Auslaufförderer über den Pakettisch bewegt wird und das auszustoßende Paket hierbei mitnimmt. Nach dem Ausstoßvorgang wird dieser Ausstoßarm wieder über den Pakettisch in seine Ausgangsposition zurückbewegt. Insoweit wird der Ausstoßarm ständig hin- und herbewegt. Diese Ausführungsform ist zeit- und energieaufwendig, da der Ausstoßarm nach der Ausstoßbewegung zunächst abgebremst wird, dann in die entgegengesetzte Richtung bewegt wird, anschließend wieder abgebremst wird und zum erneuen Ausstoßen wiederum in Richtung Auslaufförderer bewegt wird. Da der Rückstellungsschritt des Ausstoßarms zum Ausstoßvorgang unmittelbar nichts beiträgt, können nur verhältnismäßig wenige Pakete pro Zeiteinheit ausgestoßen werden und somit wird die Arbeitsweise der gesamten Vorrichtung verlangsamt.In devices known from practice the above mentioned type are the aligned pressed and preferably blocked packets with the help of an ejection device from the parcel table to an outfeed conveyor brought. The discharge conveyor is essentially arranged perpendicular to the feed conveyor. The ejector consists of the known devices a single ejection arm that is used for ejection purposes a package in the direction of the discharge conveyor via the Moving the parcel table and the parcel to be ejected takes along. After the ejection process, this ejection arm becomes back over the parcel table to its starting position moved back. In this respect, the ejection arm is constantly back and forth moved. This embodiment is time and energy consuming, because the ejection arm after the ejection movement is first braked, then in the opposite Direction is moved, then braked again and to eject it again in the direction of the discharge conveyor is moved. Since the reset step of Ejection arm does not directly contribute to the ejection process, can only comparatively few packets per unit of time are expelled and thus the way the entire device slows down.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung das technische Problem zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art anzugeben, mit der ein wenig zeitaufwendiges und wenig energieaufwendiges Ausstoßen der ausgerichteten und abgepreßten Pakete möglich ist und mit der der Ausstoßvorgang nichtsdestoweniger sehr funktionssicher durchführbar ist.In contrast, the invention is the technical problem based on a device of the type mentioned specify with the a little time consuming and little energy-consuming ejection of the aligned and pressed packages is possible and with the Ejection process nonetheless very reliable is feasible.

Zur Lösung dieses technischen Problems lehrt die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Ausstoßeinrichtung zumindest zwei periodisch auf einer Endlosbahn umlaufende Ausstoßarme aufweist. - Nach bevorzugter Ausführungsform, der im Rahmen der Erfindung besondere Bedeutung zukommt, weist die Ausstoßeinrichtung drei periodisch auf einer Endlosbahn umlaufende Ausstoßarme auf.The invention teaches to solve this technical problem a device of the type mentioned, which thereby is characterized in that the ejection device at least two ejector arms rotating periodically on an endless path having. - According to a preferred embodiment, the frame the invention is of particular importance Ejector three periodically on an endless path revolving ejection arms.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß ein wenig aufwendiges Ausstoßen der ausgerichteten und abgepreßten Pakete möglich ist, wenn erfindungsgemäß periodisch umlaufende Ausstoßarme eingerichtet werden. Bei der Ausführungsform mit drei periodisch umlaufenden Ausstoßarmen nimmt beispielsweise ein erster Ausstoßarm ein ausgerichtetes und abgepreßtes Paket mit und befördert es auf den Auslaufförderer, der zweckmäßigerweise senkrecht zum Zuführförderer angeordnet ist. Anschließend bewegt sich dieser erste Ausstoßarm weiter auf seiner Endlosbahn, während ein zweites Paket ausgerichtet und abgepreßt wird, welches Paket dann von dem zweiten Ausstoßarm mitgenommen und auf den Auslaufförderer ausgestoßen wird. Der zweite Ausstoßarm wird anschließend auf der Endlosbahn weiterbewegt und ein drittes Paket wird ausgerichtet und abgepreßt sowie anschließend von dem dritten Ausstoßarm auf den Auslaufförderer gebracht. Auf diese Weise werden drei nacheinander ausgerichtete und abgepreßte Pakete jeweils von einem der drei vorhandenen Ausstoßarme auf den Auslaufförderer ausgestoßen. Diese Arbeitsweise zeichnet sich durch geringen Zeitaufwand und durch geringen Energieaufwand aus. Die bei den bekannten Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art erforderliche Rückstellbewegung eines Ausstoßarmes entfällt vollständig. Die Ausstoßarme der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung werden zweckmäßigerweise stets in gleicher Richtung auf ihrer Endlosbahn bewegt. Vorzugsweise werden die Ausstoßarme kontinuierlich auf ihrer Endlosbahn bewegt. Es liegt aber auch im Rahmen der Erfindung, die Ausstoßarme taktweise auf der Endlosbahn zu bewegen. Im Ergebnis können im Vergleich zu den bekannten Vorrichtungen wesentlich mehr Pakete pro Zeiteinheit ausgestoßen werden. Dadurch wird die Arbeitsweise der gesamten Vorrichtung beschleunigt. Außerdem werden im Vergleich zu den bekannten Vorrichtungen die am Ausstoßvorgang beteiligten Vorrichtungsbauteile mechanisch weniger stark beansprucht, so daß die Verschleißerscheinungen geringer sind. Überraschenderweise werden zudem im Vergleich zu den bekannten Vorrichtungen auch die Pakete der Druckerzeugnisse viel weniger stark mechanisch beansprucht. Bei diesen Druckerzeugnissen handelt es sich um empfindliche Gegenstände, die leicht Beschädigungen wie Verknickungen oder Verknitterungen erfahren. Derartige Beschädigungen können mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung auf ein Minimum reduziert werden.The invention is based on the knowledge that a little elaborate ejection of the aligned and pressed Packets are possible if periodically according to the invention revolving ejection arms can be set up.

Then moves this first ejection arm continues on its endless path, while aligning and squeezing a second package, which package is then taken from the second ejection arm and is ejected onto the discharge conveyor. The second The ejection arm is then on the endless track moved on and a third package is aligned and pressed out and then from the third ejection arm brought the discharge conveyor. This way, three successively aligned and pressed packages each from one of the three existing ejection arms to the Discharge conveyor ejected. This way of working draws yourself through little time and little Energy expenditure. The in the known devices the type of reset movement required at the beginning an ejection arm is completely eliminated. The exhaust arms the device according to the invention are expedient always moving in the same direction on their endless path. The ejection arms are preferably opened continuously their endless web moves. But it is also within the scope of Invention, the exhaust arms in cycles on the endless path move. As a result, compared to the known ones Devices significantly more packets per unit of time be expelled. This will make the accelerated entire device. In addition, Comparison to the known devices on Ejecting device components involved mechanically less stressed, so that the signs of wear are lower. Surprisingly, too compared to the known devices also the packages of the printed matter much less mechanically claimed. These are printed matter around sensitive objects that easily damage like Experience kinks or creases. Such Damage can occur with the device according to the invention be reduced to a minimum.
