Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sheet conveyor for a boom of a sheet processing printing machine with at least one operationally rotating and in a conveying direction along a sheet guide surface gripper bridge, which grippers with gripper fingers pivotable in a gripper cycle for gripping of a gripper edge region oriented transversely to the conveying direction, one each by means of the gripper bridge to be conveyed and a front spoiler for shielding one between the gripper bridge and the sheet guiding surface
  • Intermediate space includes, and one equipped with the sheet conveyor Boom of a sheet-fed printing machine.
  • a sheet conveyor of the type mentioned is for example from the publication DE 33 08 907 A1 known.
  • the front spoiler is arranged such that an end of the sheet guide surface facing it in relatively close proximity to the free one Ends of the gripper fingers.
  • This is the known sheet conveyor required in order to take over the sheet from the gripper an arc leading cylinder a collision between this and the Avoid front spoilers.
  • the gripper fingers are downstream from one of their free ends axis located in the gripper bridge with respect to the conveying direction pivotable. This means that the front spoiler, based on its the End facing the sheet guide surface, at least tending towards one respective standards established on the sheet guiding surface downstream with respect to the Direction of conveyance inclined increases With this constellation, the front spoiler acts as Air scoop that operationally pushes a vortex flow in front of it.
  • the invention has for its object the sheet conveyor mentioned above To be designed so that a respective sheet guided by a gripper bridge largely unaffected by its destabilizing influences, and that the flow conditions around an arc leading The gripper bridge is largely without influence on a leading bow.
  • FIG. 1 represents a section of the section marked I in FIG. 5 Bow conveyor.
  • a Gripper bridge 1 conveys one between gripper pads 2 Gripper bridge 1 and the free ends of gripper fingers 3 clamped Arc 4 in a conveying direction indicated by the arrow over one at a Sheet guiding device 5 formed sheet guiding surface 6 Sheet 4 in a gripper edge area 4.1 of the Arch 4 clamped.
  • a respective gripper finger 3 is with a Gripper body 7 firmly connected. This can be swiveled with respect to one The conveying direction oriented geometric axis 8 parallel to the sheet guide surface 6 a gripper shaft 8.1 accommodated in the gripper bridge 1.
  • the to tension the Bow 4 required force is supplied by springs, not shown, which thus hold the gripper fingers 3 in a swivel position, in which each of them by means of a Gripper fingers 3 and a gripper body 7 formed gripper 9 closed are.
  • the gripper control curve 10 is arranged and designed such that the gripper 9 is short before taking over a respective sheet 4 from one in FIGS.
  • the chain conveyor circuit 14 includes a drive sprocket assembly 15 and one Deflection sprocket assembly 16 and a respective gripper bridge 1 such that operationally, the gripper pads 2 in particular between the gripper pads 13 retract cylinder 12 leading on the bend.
  • the one for opening and closing the Gripper 9 for the purpose of transferring a respective sheet 4 leading from the sheet Cylinder 12 on the sheet conveyor responsible gripper control curve 10 is on the drive sprocket assembly 15 following the arc-guiding cylinder 12 assigned.

  • the deflection sprocket assembly 16 is also a not shown in Fig. 5, with the roller lever 11 of a respective gripper bridge 1 cooperating Gripper control curve assigned. This also causes a temporary Swiveling the gripper fingers 3 in an open position of the same, so that a in each case in the effective range of a sheet brake 17 sheet 4 to this transferred, decelerated to a depositing speed by means of this and finally released, whereupon he lowered himself while lowering himself Front edge stops 18 moved and aligned with this and at these opposite trailing edge stops 19 together with previous and / or subsequent sheet 4 a stack 20 on a Stacking pad 21 forms, which can be lowered to the extent by means of a lifting mechanism is how the height of the stack 20 increases. 5 are only of the hoist a platform 22 and this carrying lifting chains 23 indicated by dash-dotted lines played.
  • the gripper bridges 1 are only symbolized in FIG. 5 in the form of grippers 9 and this associated gripper pads 2 each in a schematic representation played.
  • a respective gripper bridge 1 comprises further a front spoiler 25, by means of which between the gripper bridge 1 and the arch guide surface 6 existing space 26 can be shielded.
  • the Front spoiler 25 is in the same sense as the gripper fingers 3 and in one with the Gripper cycle correlated cycle swiveling.
  • an attachment of the Front spoiler 25 on holders which are mounted on the gripper shaft 8.1 and opposite whose geometric axis 8 by a certain angle between the Interspace 26 shielding the first pivot position and one of the Sheet guide surface 6 moved away second pivot position
  • a Spring arrangement by means of which the front spoiler 25 in the same pivoting direction is biased as the grippers 9 on the part acting on them Are spring arrangement
  • a roller lever by means of which the front spoiler 25th is pivotable against the action of the spring arrangement that biases it
  • a spoiler control curve cooperating with said roller lever which is arranged and designed such that the front spoiler 25 has its recognizable second swivel position assumes at least essentially when the gripper fingers 3 the gripper 9 of the cylinder 12 guiding the arc approaching gripper bridge 1 their lifted from the gripper pads 2 Take pivot position, and its first pivot position shown in Fig.
  • the spoiler control curve is the Drive sprocket assembly 15 assigned and controls here in particular Avoiding a collision of the front spoiler 25 with the cylinder carrying the bow 12 intended pivoting of the front spoiler 25 in its second pivot position.
  • the deflection sprocket assembly 16 is one with the Roller lever 11 of a respective gripper bridge 1 cooperating Gripper control curve assigned, which the gripper 9 operationally under corresponding pivoting of the gripper fingers 3 temporarily opens.
  • the area of the deflection sprocket arrangement 16 there are no cylinders guiding the arc with which the front spoiler 25 located in its first pivoting position could collide in this area on a pivoting of the front spoiler 25th in the same sense as the pivoting of the gripper fingers 3 that is omitted here become.
  • the the Drive sprocket arrangement 15 associated spoiler control curve is also arranged and designed so that the time interval in which the Front spoiler 25 of the cylinder 12 passing the bow Gripper bridge 1 is in its second swivel position, that is, in that Swivel position in which the front spoiler 25 when passing Sheet guiding surface 6 the intermediate space 26 between this and the gripper bridge 1 would shield, at least includes the time interval within which the Gripper 9 of the gripper bridge 1 passing the cylinder 12, which respectively guides the arc are open.
  • the angle by which the front spoiler 25 between its two pivot positions is pivotable, is chosen so that the front spoiler 25 in the second Swiveling position the arc leading cylinder 12 happens without a collision.

  • the Front spoiler 25 for example, fixed with a certain number of Gripper base body 7 of the gripper bridge 1 connected, so that this already results a clockwise correlation with the gripper clock pivoting of the front spoiler 25 in same sense as the pivoting of the gripper fingers 3 results without a additional swivel mechanism for the front spoiler 25 is required.
  • the spoiler clock i. H. the rhythm in which the Front spoiler 25 is pivoted operationally, with the gripper cycle such that the Spoiler cycle and gripper cycle match.
  • the front spoiler 25 is indeed unnecessarily temporarily also in the area of the deflection sprocket arrangement 16 pivoted into its second pivot position; however, this can be done with regard to particularly simple means of realizing the intended purpose Swiveling the front spoiler 25 are accepted.
  • the front spoiler 25 is designed and arranged such that the gripper 9 of the operationally rotating gripper bridge 1 in the slipstream of Front spoiler 25 are located.
