Abstract

In a non-stop stack changing device, remaining-stack bars are pulled from the stack area one by one and out-of-line in relation to each other. To this end, a pull/push drive is provided, which makes it possible to push the remaining-stack bars simultaneously into the grooves of a pallet carrying a sheet stack. Furthermore, the pull/push drive makes it possible to pull the remaining-stack bars in pairs from inside outwards out of the stack area. In addition, the remaining-stack bars can be pulled in a first and second sequence in accordance with this model. An individual motor drive is provided for this purpose, which operates interlockingly on each individual remaining-stack bar.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 und 2 sowie eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 8 und 9.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2 as well a device according to the preamble of claims 8 and 9.

Es ist bekannt, in Bogenanlegern von Bogendruckmaschinen Einrichtungen für den automatisierten Stapelwechsel vorzusehen. Diese können aus rechenartigen Gebilden bestehen, sogenannten Reststapeltragvorrichtungen, die mit Schub- und Hubantrieben zur horizontalen und vertikalen Bewegung versehen sind. Solche sogenannte Nonstop-Stapelwechsler sind geeignet, während des Verdruckens von Papierbogen, d.h. im Maschinenlauf, Reste von abgearbeiteten Bogenstapeln von einer beispielsweise mit Nuten versehenen Palette abzunehmen und auf einem nachfolgend in den Bogenanleger eingesetzten neuen Bogenstapel wieder abzusetzen. Bekannte Vorrichtungen zeichnen sich durch großen konstruktiven und montagetechnischen Aufwand aus und erfordern Spezialkonstruktionen der Bogenanleger. Des weiteren werden hierbei Vorrichtungen eingesetzt, deren Reststapeltragvorrichtung einen in die Nuten der Palette eingreifenden Rechen aufweisen. Dieser Rechen ist bei der Vereinigung des Reststapels mit dem neu eingesetzten Bogenstapel als Ganzes zwischen den beiden Stapelteilen zu entfernen. Das bringt hohe Antriebskräfte mit sich und beansprucht die der Schnittstelle nächstliegenden Bogen der Stapel sehr stark. Außerdem sind Rückhaltemittel vorzusehen, die ein Verschieben der Stapelteile verhindern und dabei die Stapelkanten stark beanspruchen. Außerdem wird die Bedienung des Bogenanlegers selbst stark behindert oder gar unmöglich gemacht. Der Bogenlauf ist beim Wechselvorgang schwer zu beherrschen, so daß immer wieder Makulaturbogen entstehen. It is known to use devices for the in sheet feeders of sheet printing machines to provide automated batch changes. These can be computational Forms exist, so-called residual pile support devices, with thrust and Lift actuators are provided for horizontal and vertical movement. Such so-called non-stop stack changers are suitable during the printing of Sheets of paper, i.e. in the machine run, remnants of processed sheet stacks from a pallet provided with grooves, for example, and on one subsequently inserted new sheet stack again in the sheet feeder to discontinue. Known devices are characterized by large constructive and assembly costs and require special designs of the Sheet feeder. Furthermore, devices are used, the Remaining stack support device a rake engaging in the grooves of the pallet exhibit. This rake is new when the remaining stack is combined with the used sheet stack as a whole between the two stack parts remove. This entails high driving forces and demands that of the Interface closest arch of the stack very strong. Also are To provide retention means that prevent the stack parts from moving and stress the stack edges. In addition, the operation of the Sheet feeder itself severely disabled or even made impossible. The arc run is difficult to master when changing, so that again and again Waste sheets arise.

Es wurden schon Vorrichtungen entwickelt, die einige der geschilderten Nachteile teilweise vermeiden.Devices have been developed that overcome some of the disadvantages described partially avoid.

So ist aus der DE 3931710 C2 ein Non-Stop-Bogenanleger für Bogenrotationsmaschinen bekannt. Er weist eine Reststapeltragvorrichtung auf, die unterhalb eines vom Bogenanleger zur Bogenrotationsmaschine führenden Bändertisches angeordnet ist. Die Reststapeltragvorrichtung weist einen geschlossenen Rahmen auf, an dem Non-Stop-Stangen angeordnet sind, die als Kolbenstangen einzelner Zylinder mittels eines Druckmediums angetrieben werden können und die in Nuten einer einen Bogenstapel tragenden Palette einfahrbar sind. Die Non-Stop-Stangen liegen in eingefahrenem Zustand auf beiden Seiten des Rahmens auf und sollen nacheinander aus dem Bereich des Bogenanlegers entfernt werden. Über die Reihenfolge ist nichts ausgesagt. Die Überbrückung des durch die Non-Stop-Stangen bedingten Spalts zwischen Haupt- und Reststapel ist bei der Stapelvereinigung ein Hindernis für eine einwandfreie kontinuierliche Verarbeitung.DE 3931710 C2 describes a non-stop sheet feeder for Sheet rotation machines known. It has a residual pile support device, those below one leading from the sheet feeder to the sheet rotation machine Belt table is arranged. The residual stack support device has one closed frame on which non-stop rods are arranged, which as Piston rods of individual cylinders are driven by means of a pressure medium can and retractable in the grooves of a pallet carrying a sheet stack are. The non-stop bars are on both sides when retracted of the frame and are to be successively removed from the area of the sheet feeder be removed. Nothing is said about the order. Bridging the gap due to the non-stop rods between the main and remaining stacks an obstacle to a flawless continuous when stacking Processing.

Aus der DE 4203500 A1 ist ein Verfahren bzw. eine Vorrichtung gemäß den Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1, 2 bzw. 8, 9 bekannt. Er weist parallel zum Bogenanleger und diesem stirnseitig zugeordnet eine Hilfstapeltragvorrichtung als eigenständige Baueinheit auf. Darin sind über einen gemeinsamen Antrieb einzeln antreibbare Spieße vorgesehen, die in Nuten einer einen Bogenstapel tragenden Palette einfahrbar sind. Der Antrieb weist einzelne Kettentriebe auf, die an die jeweiligen Spieße ankoppelbar sind. Für die Führung und Zugänglichkeit der Kettentriebe sind besondere konstruktive Maßnahmen erforderlich. Die Kettentriebe versperren den Raum vor dem Bogenanleger vollständig, sodaß dieser nicht zugänglich ist.
Beim Stapelwechsel ist vorgesehen, die Spieße bei der Vereinigung von Haupt- und Reststapel zunächst an der Außenseite, dann in der Mitte und zuletzt im Bereich zwischen den bereits gezogenen Spießen aus dem Stapelbereich zu entfernen, sodaß sich eine sanfte Ablage des Reststapels auf dem Bogenstapel ergeben soll. Dies gelingt aber in der erforderlichen Genauigkeit nur bei schweren Materialien wie Bögen aus Metall.
DE 4203500 A1 discloses a method and a device according to the preamble of claims 1, 2 and 8, 9, respectively. In parallel to the sheet feeder and associated with it on the end face, it has an auxiliary stack support device as an independent structural unit. In it, individually drivable skewers are provided via a common drive, which are retractable into grooves in a pallet carrying a sheet stack. The drive has individual chain drives that can be coupled to the respective spits. Special constructive measures are necessary for the guidance and accessibility of the chain drives. The chain drives completely block the space in front of the sheet feeder so that it is not accessible.
When changing stacks, it is intended to remove the skewers from the stacking area when the main and remaining stacks are merged, first on the outside, then in the middle and finally in the area between the skewers that have already been drawn, so that the remaining stack is placed gently on the sheet stack should. However, this is only possible with the required accuracy for heavy materials such as metal arches.

Schließlich ist aus der DE 19520772 C1 ein Non-Stop-Bogenanleger für Druckmaschinen mit ein- und ausfahrbaren Gabelstäben bekannt. In diesem Anleger sind beiderseits des Stapelbereiches quer zur Bogentransportrichtung verfahrbare Einheiten von Gabelstäben vorgesehen. Die Gabelstäbe sind miteinander verbunden und gemeinsam in Nuten einer einen Bogenstapel tragenden Palette einfahrbar. Von dort können sie eine Hilfstapel übernehmen, um den Zeitraum bis zur Zufuhr eines neuen Bogenstapels zu überbrücken. Zur vorläufigen Annäherung des Haupt- und des Reststapels vor dem endgültigen Vereinigen sind die Gabelstäbe im Querschnitt rechteckig und um eine Längsachse drehbar. Dabei werden die Gabelstäbe zunächst in der hochkant liegenden Orientierung eingeschoben, um eine möglichst große Last tragen zu können. Zur Annäherung werden sie dann um 90 Grad verdreht, sodaß sich Haupt- und Reststapel auf den Wert der Dicke der schmäleren Seite aneinander annähern. Beim Verdrehen der Gabelstäbe sind Maßnahmen zu treffen, um ein Verschieben der den Gabelstäbe nächstliegenden Bogen zu vermeiden. Dies hat sich in der Praxis als nahezu undurchführbar herausgestellt.Finally, DE 19520772 C1 describes a non-stop sheet feeder for Printing machines with retractable and extendable fork bars known. In this Feeders are on both sides of the stacking area transversely to the sheet transport direction movable units of fork rods are provided. The fork bars are connected to each other and together in grooves a stack of sheets carrying pallet retractable. From there, they can take over an auxiliary stack to bridge the period until a new sheet stack is fed. For preliminary approximation of the main and the remaining stack before the final one Unite the fork rods are rectangular in cross section and around one Longitudinal axis rotatable. The fork rods are initially in the upright position inserted orientation to carry the greatest possible load can. They are then turned 90 degrees to approximate them so that the main and residual stacks to each other to the value of the thickness of the narrower side approach. When twisting the fork rods, measures have to be taken to get one Avoid moving the bow closest to the fork rods. this has turned out to be almost impracticable in practice.

Weiterhin ist aus der DAS 1095297 ein Bogenanleger mit mehreren Stapelhubwerken bekannt. Er weist eine gabelförmige Reststapeltragvorrichtung auf, die mit in Nuten einer Palette einschiebbaren Reststapelstäben versehen ist. Die Vorrichtung ermöglicht die Übernahme eines Rests eines Bogenstapels von der Palette zur kontinuierlichen Zufuhr der Bogen während ein neuer Bogenstapel in den Bogenanleger eingesetzt wird. Die Reststapelvorrichtung ist mit einem separaten Hubwerk parallel zu dem Hauptstapelhubwerk innerhalb des Bogenanlegers verbunden, sodaß der Reststapel kontinuierlich anhebbar ist. Der Arbeitsbereich der Reststapeltragvorrichtung ist eingeschränkt. Die Reststapeltragvorrichtung behindert den Zugang zum Bogenanleger.Furthermore, DAS 1095297 is a sheet feeder with several Stacking hoists known. It has a fork-shaped residual stack support device on, which is provided with insertable residual stack bars in the grooves of a pallet. The device enables a remnant of a stack of sheets to be taken over from the pallet for the continuous feeding of the sheets during a new sheet stack is inserted into the sheet feeder. The residual stacking device is with a separate hoist parallel to the main stacking hoist within the Sheet feeder connected so that the remaining stack can be raised continuously. The The working area of the residual pile carrier is restricted. The Remaining pile support device hinders access to the sheet feeder.

Ziel der Erfindung ist es die Vorrichtung zum Stapelwechsel so zu verbessern, daß die geschilderten Nachteile vermieden werden.The aim of the invention is to improve the device for stack change so that the disadvantages described are avoided.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der genannten Art so zu verbessern, daß der Stapelwechsel auf einfache und kontinuierliche Weise möglich wird, wobei der Bogentransport nicht gestört werden darf und die Bögen beim Wechselvorgang geschont werden, so daß keine durch den Stapelwechsel bedingte Makulatur entsteht.The object of the invention is to provide a device of the type mentioned improve that batch change in a simple and continuous manner is possible, whereby the sheet transport must not be disturbed and the sheets be spared during the change process, so that none due to the stack change conditional waste occurs.

Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe ergibt sich aus den Patentansprüchen.The solution to the problem arises from the patent claims.

Vorteilhaft ist, daß voneinander unabhängig bewegbare Trag- und Distanzstäbe in der Vorrichtung vorgesehen sind, die zur Entlastung des Bogenstoffes nicht gleichzeitig, sondern zeitversetzt aus dem Stapelbereich gezogen werden. Dabei kann vorzugsweise eine unterschiedliche Höhe der beiden Stabarten vorgesehen sein, die eine fließende Absetzbewegung des Stapelrestes auf dem Bogenstapel erzeugt.
insbesondere die kontinuierliche Entfernung der Reststapelstäbe von innen nach außen und in zwei Stufen ermöglich eine sanfte Ablage des Reststapels auf dem Bogenstapel. Dabei soll vorzugweise ein die Stapelannäherung beeinflussendes Geschwindigkeitsprofil in den Ziehgeschwindigkeiten zwischen den einzelnen Stäbe eingehalten werden.
It is advantageous that independently movable support and spacer bars are provided in the device, which are drawn from the stacking area not at the same time, but with a time delay, to relieve the sheet material. In this case, a different height of the two rod types can preferably be provided, which produces a flowing settling movement of the rest of the stack on the stack of sheets.
in particular, the continuous removal of the remaining stack bars from the inside to the outside and in two stages enables the remaining stack to be deposited gently on the sheet stack. A speed profile influencing the stack approach in the drawing speeds between the individual bars should preferably be maintained.

Im Bogenanleger 2 ist dazu eine Bogenvereinzelungseinrichtung 4 vorgesehen, die mit einer ganzen Anzahl vielfältiger Bedienungselemente für formatabhängige Einstellungen und für Einstellungen der Versorgung mit Saug- oder Blasluft versehen ist. Die Bedienungselemente dienen der Abstimmung der verschiedenen Funktionen der Bogenvereinzelungsvorrichtung 4 auf den bedarfsgerechten Transport der Bogen vom Bogenanleger 2 zur Bogendruckmaschine 1. Im Bogenanleger 2 ist weiterhin eine Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 angeordnet, die der der Bogendruckmaschine 1 abgewandten Stirnseite des Bogenanlegers 2 zugeordnet ist. Die Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 ist mit einem Gestell 6 versehen, in dem Reststapelstäbe 7 längsverschiebbar gelagert sind. Mittels des Gestelles 6 ist die Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 an einer Hubvorrichtung 5 aufgehängt. Die Hubvorrichtung 5 ist hier nur in ihrer Lage, nicht jedoch in Einzelheiten angedeutet. Die Hubvorrichtung 5 dient dazu einen Hilfstapel im Bogenanleger 2 zu halten und im Takt der Bogenverarbeitung anzuheben. Daher ist die Hubvorrichtung 5 auch mit der Hauptstapelhubvorrichtung synchron steuerbar. Die Hubvorrichtung 5 besteht aus mit dem Bogenanleger 2 verbundenen vertikalen Führungsschienen 8, an denen das Gestell 6 geführt ist, und weist beispielsweise Hubketten auf, mittels derer die Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 anhebbar oder absenkbar ist.In Figure 1, a sheet feeder 2 is connected to a sheet processing Machine, for example shown with a sheet printing machine 1. in the Sheet feeder 2, a sheet stack S is used for processing. The Sheet stack S can by means of a main stack lifting device, which is not closer here shown is raised in time with the sheet processing. The bow of the Sheet stack S are separated at the top and the Sheet printing machine 1 fed in a sheet stream. In the sheet feeder 2 is For this purpose, a sheet separation device 4 is provided, which with a whole Number of diverse controls for format-dependent settings and for Settings of the supply with suction or blown air is provided. The Controls are used to coordinate the various functions of the Sheet separation device 4 on the need-based transport of the sheets from sheet feeder 2 to sheet printing machine 1. In sheet feeder 2 is still a residual stack support device 3 is arranged, that of the sheet-fed printing press 1 facing end of the sheet feeder 2 is assigned. The Remaining stack support device 3 is provided with a frame 6 in which Remaining stacking rods 7 are mounted to be longitudinally displaceable. By means of the frame 6 is the Remaining stack support device 3 suspended from a lifting device 5. The Lifting device 5 is only in its position here, but not indicated in details. The lifting device 5 is used to hold an auxiliary stack in the sheet feeder 2 and to be raised in time with the sheet processing. Therefore, the lifting device 5 is also controllable synchronously with the main stacking device. The lifting device 5 consists of vertical guide rails 8 connected to the sheet feeder 2, on which the frame 6 is guided and has, for example, lifting chains, by means of which the residual stack support device 3 can be raised or lowered.

In Figur 2 ist der Bogenanleger 2 in einer Ansicht von oben gezeigt. An den Bogenanleger 2 schließt sich in der durch Pfeile angedeuteten Bogenlaufrichtung ein sogenannter Bändertisch 20 an, über den der durch die Vereinzelung erzeugte Bogenstrom zu bogenverarbeitenden Maschine z.B. der Druckmaschine 1 transportiert wird. Weiterhin ist die Lage der Bogenvereinzelungsvorrichtung 4 in Zuordnung zur Hinterkante des Bogenstapels S erkennbar. Die Orientierung der Reststapelstäbe 7 ist in ihrer Anordnung in Bezug auf den Bogenanleger 2 dargestellt, wobei nur die beiden äußeren Reststapelstäbe 7 dargestellt sind und die anderen mit Wirkungslinien angedeutet werden. Die gezeigte Position ist beispielsweise die Bereitschaftsstellung vor der Einleitung eines Wechselvorganges bzw. die Warteposition außerhalb des Bedienungsbereiches des Bogenanlegers 2. Die Reststapelstäbe 7 sind dabei innerhalb der Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 geführt, sodaß sie in der gezeigten Position eine horizontale Stellung außerhalb des Bereiches des Bogenanlegers 2 einnehmen. Die Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 mit ihrem Gestell 6 ist mittels der Führungsschienen 8 am Bogenanleger 2 geführt und vertikal bewegbar. Die Hubvorrichtung 5 ist wieder nur in ihrer Lage angedeutet und befindet sich an der Oberseite der Führungsschienen 8, beispielsweise am Rahmen des Bogenanlegers 2, greift von dort aus am Gestell 6 der Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 an und bewegt diese an den Führungschienen 8 aufwärts und abwärts.In Figure 2, the sheet feeder 2 is shown in a view from above. To the Sheet feeder 2 closes in the direction of sheet travel indicated by arrows a so-called belt table 20, over which the one generated by the separation Sheet current to sheet processing machine e.g. the printing press 1 is transported. The position of the sheet separation device 4 is also shown in FIG Assignment to the rear edge of the sheet stack S can be seen. The orientation of the Remaining stacking bars 7 are shown in their arrangement in relation to the sheet feeder 2, only the two outer remaining stacking rods 7 are shown and the others are indicated with lines of action. The position shown is for example, the standby position before initiating a Change process or the waiting position outside the operating area of the sheet feeder 2. The remaining stacking bars 7 are within the Remaining pile support device 3 performed so that it is in the position shown Take up the horizontal position outside the area of the sheet feeder 2. The rest of the stack support device 3 with its frame 6 is by means of Guide rails 8 guided on the sheet feeder 2 and vertically movable. The Lifting device 5 is again only indicated in its position and is on the Top of the guide rails 8, for example on the frame of the Sheet feeder 2, grips from there on frame 6 of residual stack support device 3 and moves them up and down on the guide rails 8.

In Figur 3 ist eine vollständige Darstellung der Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 gezeigt. Das Gestell 6 ist an den Führungsschienen 8 vertikal geführt. Im Gestell 6 sind in einer vorderen Tragschiene 9 die Reststapelstäbe 7 in Form von Tragstäben 7A und Distanzstäben 7B geführt. Auf einer hinteren Tragschiene 10 ist ein Zugantrieb 11 zum vereinzelten Ziehen der Tragstäbe 7A und Distanzstäbe 7B angeordnet. Die gezeigte Position ist die Wartestellung. Weiterhin sind beiderseits Antriebe 12 zur Längsverschiebung der hinteren Tragschiene 10 auf Führungsschienen 13 am Gestell 6 vorgesehen. Die Antriebe 12 bestimmen die Lage der hinteren Tragschiene 10 am hinteren Ende oder innerhalb des Gestells 6. Die vordere Tragschiene 9 ist fest mit dem Gestell 6 verbunden.
Die Tragstäbe 7A bzw. Distanzstäbe 7B sind unterschiedlich hoch. Die Tragstäbe 7A sind beispielsweise in etwa doppelt so hoch wie die Distanzstäbe 7B. Unter Höhe ist die Ausdehnung der Tragstäbe 7A bzw. Distanzstäbe 7B senkrecht zur Erstreckungsebene der Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 gemeint. Die Auswirkung dieser Maßnahme wird im folgenden Darstellungen noch ausführlich gezeigt.
FIG. 3 shows a complete representation of the residual stack support device 3. The frame 6 is guided vertically on the guide rails 8. The rest of the stacking rods 7 in the form of supporting rods 7A and spacing rods 7B are guided in the frame 6 in a front support rail 9. A traction drive 11 for occasionally pulling the support rods 7A and spacer rods 7B is arranged on a rear mounting rail 10. The position shown is the waiting position. Furthermore, drives 12 are provided on both sides for the longitudinal displacement of the rear support rail 10 on guide rails 13 on the frame 6. The drives 12 determine the position of the rear mounting rail 10 at the rear end or within the frame 6. The front mounting rail 9 is firmly connected to the frame 6.
The support rods 7A or spacer rods 7B are of different heights. The support rods 7A are, for example, approximately twice as high as the spacer rods 7B. The term height means the expansion of the support rods 7A or spacer rods 7B perpendicular to the plane of extent of the residual stack support device 3. The effect of this measure is shown in detail in the following diagrams.

Die Tragstäbe 7A und Distanzstäbe 7B können gleich lang sein. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind die Tragstäbe 7A aber länger als die Distanzstäbe 78. Die Tragstäbe 7A dienen bei der Übernahme eines Reststapels H zunächst der Lastaufnahme und sind entsprechend zu dimensionieren, wobei die Last in ein weitere Tragmittel abzuleiten ist (siehe Fig. 4).The support rods 7A and spacer rods 7B can be of the same length. In a preferred embodiment, the support rods 7A are longer than that Spacer bars 78. The support bars 7A are used to take over a remaining stack H first the load bearing and must be dimensioned accordingly, whereby the load is to be diverted into another suspension element (see Fig. 4).

In Figur 4 ist die Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 in Funktion gezeigt. Die Tragstäbe 7A, sowie die Distanzstäbe 7B sind mittels der Antriebe 12 zusammen mit der hinteren Tragschiene 10 gegenüber der vorderen Tragschiene 9 vorgeschoben und in Nuten einer den Bogenstapel S tragenden Palette P eingeführt worden. Vordere Tragschiene 9 und hintere Tragschiene 10 mit dem Zugantrieb 11 liegen nun parallel vor der Palette P, die einen Rest eines Bogenstapels S, den sogenannten Reststapel H trägt. Die Palette P und der Reststapel H werden dabei nicht durch die vordere Tragschiene 9 berührt. Die längeren und höheren Tragstäbe 7A liegen auf einer Reststapelhubschiene 14 am in Bogenlaufrichtung gesehen vorderen Ende im Bogenanleger 2 auf. Diese Reststapelhubschiene 14 ist mit einem Hubantrieb gekoppelt und zur Abstützung der Tragstäbe 7A sowie deren Hubbewegung während der Produktion vorgesehen. Die Reststapelhubschiene 14 und die Hubvorrichtung 5 sind dazu beide mit der Reststapelhubvorrichtung des Bogenanlegers 2 verbunden oder wenigstens so mechanisch oder steuerungstechnisch miteinander gekoppelt, daß sie bei der Stapelverarbeitung insbesondere aber bei der Zusammenführung des Reststapels H mit einem neuen Bogenstapel S synchron angehoben werden können.The residual stack support device 3 is shown in operation in FIG. The support rods 7A, and the spacer bars 7B are by means of the drives 12 together with the rear mounting rail 10 advanced relative to the front mounting rail 9 and inserted in grooves of a pallet P carrying the sheet stack S. Front support rail 9 and rear support rail 10 are located with the traction drive 11 now parallel in front of the pallet P, the rest of a sheet stack S, the so-called residual stack H carries. The pallet P and the remaining stack H become not touched by the front mounting rail 9. The longer and higher Support rods 7A lie on a residual stack lifting rail 14 in the direction of sheet travel seen front end in the sheet feeder 2. This residual stack lifting rail 14 is coupled with a linear actuator and for supporting the support rods 7A and the lifting movement provided during production. The Remaining stack lifting rail 14 and the lifting device 5 are both with the Remaining stack lifting device of the sheet feeder 2 connected or at least so mechanically or control technically coupled with each other that they at Batch processing especially when merging the remaining stack H can be lifted synchronously with a new sheet stack S.

In Figur 5 ist der Zusammenhang der Ziehbewegung zur Einrichtung noch einmal innerhalb des Bogenanlegers 2 verdeutlicht. Die Tragstäbe 7A und die Distanzstäbe 7B liegen abwechselnd in Nuten einer Palette P (wobei man sich auf den Stegen zwischen den Nuten der Palette P normalerweise der Bogenstapel S aufliegend vorzustellen hat). Die Tragstäbe 7A liegen dabei auf der Reststapelhubschiene 14 auf. Gleiches gilt im dargestellten Fall für die inneren Distanzstäbe 7B, die nur die halbe Höhe der Tragstäbe 7A aufweisen. Der Ziehvorgang der Tragstäbe 7A beginnt mit den der Stapelmitte nächstliegenden dickeren Tragstäben 7A, die wie dargestellt als Paar gezogen werden. Dabei legt sich der Hilfstapel H in diesem Bereich langsam auf die dünneren Distanzstäbe 7B auf. Das Ziehen der dickeren Tragstäbe 7A und in der Folge der dünneren Distanzstäben 7B erfolgt fließend und in enger zeitlicher Abfolge aber immer getrennt voneinander. Dazu ist eine Vorrichtung zum Steuern der Zugbewegung vorgesehen. Diese kann direkt in den Zugantrieb 11 für die Tragstäbe 7A bzw. Distanzstäbe 7B integriert sein oder über weitere Steuerungsmittel auf den Zugantrieb jedes einzelen Tragstabes 7A bzw. Distanzstabes 7B einwirken. The relationship of the pulling movement to the device is shown once again in FIG clarified within the sheet feeder 2. The support rods 7A and Spacer bars 7B alternately lie in grooves of a pallet P (one on the other the webs between the grooves of the pallet P normally the sheet stack S has to be presented on top). The support rods 7A are on the Remaining stacking lifting rail 14. The same applies in the case shown to the inner ones Spacer bars 7B, which are only half the height of the support bars 7A. The The pulling process of the support rods 7A begins with those closest to the center of the stack thicker support rods 7A, which are drawn as a pair as shown. Doing so the auxiliary stack H slowly in this area on the thinner spacer bars 7B on. Pulling the thicker support rods 7A and subsequently the thinner ones Spacer bars 7B are fluid and always in close succession separated from each other. For this is a device for controlling the train movement intended. This can be directly in the train drive 11 for the support rods 7A or Spacer bars 7B can be integrated or via further control means on the Actuate the traction drive of each individual support rod 7A or spacer rod 7B.

Wesentlich ist, daß beim Ziehen der Reststapelstäbe 7 jeweils die inneren Reststapelstäbe 7 mit einer insgesamt geringeren Geschwindigkeit gezogen werden als die äußeren Reststapelstäbe 7. Dies gilt sowohl für die Tragstäbe 7A als auch für die Distanzstäbe 7B. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß sich zum Zeitpunkt der Entfernung der Reststapelstäbe 7 im Bereich der Mitte, d.h. also wenn der Reststapel H einzusinken beginnt, eine nur langsame Absenkung an der Stapeloberfläche ergibt. Damit kann der Reststapel H in Bezug auf die Vereinzelungseinrichtung und die Übergabeposition zum Bändertisch 20 leicht nachgeführt werden.
Die Geschwindigkeit der inneren Reststapelstäbe 7 kann beispielsweise um die Hälfte gegenüber den äußeren Reststapelstäben 7 reduziert sein. Sie ist aber über die gesamte Ziehzeit eines Reststapelstabes 7 konstant. Ebenso kann die Geschwindigkeit der Reststapelstäbe 7 von innen nach außen kontinuierlich ansteigend vorgesehen sein.
It is essential that when the remaining stacking rods 7 are pulled, the inner remaining stacking rods 7 are pulled at a generally lower speed than the outer remaining stacking rods 7. This applies both to the supporting rods 7A and to the spacer rods 7B. This ensures that at the time of removal of the remaining stack bars 7 in the region of the center, ie when the remaining stack H begins to sink, there is only a slow lowering on the stack surface. The remaining stack H can thus be easily tracked with respect to the separating device and the transfer position to the belt table 20.
The speed of the inner remaining stack bars 7 can be reduced, for example, by half compared to the outer remaining stack bars 7. However, it is constant over the entire drawing time of a remaining stacking rod 7. Likewise, the speed of the remaining stacking bars 7 can be continuously increasing from the inside to the outside.

In einer weiteren Ausführungsform des Verfahrens kann vorgesehen sein, die Startzeitpunkte der Ziehbewegung der einzelnen Reststapelstäbe 7 zu variieren. Hierbei sollen beispielsweise die inneren Reststapelstäbe 7 langsam gezogen werden, um die Anpassvorgänge bei der Bogenvereinzelung und beim Übergang der Bogen an der Stapelvorderkante auf den Bändertisch zu ermöglichen. Da sich dadurch aber eine Verzögerung für den gesamten Wechselvorgang ergibt, kann die Ziehbewegung der weiteren Reststapelstäbe 7 mit höherer Geschwindigkeit schon einsetzen bevor die langsamen Reststapelstäbe 7 in der Mitte vollständig gezogen sind. Dabei soll das Prinzip der rückhalterfreien Entfernung der Reststapelstäbe 7 aber nicht verletzt werden.
Die Variante des versetzten Einsatzes der Zugbewegung kann abhängig von der Beschaffenheit der Bogen auch auf die Bewegung von Reststapelstab 7 zu Reststapelstab 7 angewendet werden. Damit ergibt sich eine weitere Verringerung der Zeit für den Stapelwechsel bei gleichzeitiger Einhaltung einer guten Stapelqualität.
In a further embodiment of the method it can be provided to vary the starting times of the drawing movement of the individual remaining stacking bars 7. In this case, for example, the inner remaining stacking rods 7 should be slowly pulled in order to enable the adaptation processes when separating the sheets and when the sheets are transferred to the front edge of the stack on the belt table. However, since this results in a delay for the entire changing process, the pulling movement of the further remaining stacking bars 7 can start at a higher speed before the slow remaining stacking bars 7 are completely pulled in the middle. The principle of the retention-free removal of the remaining stack bars 7 should not be violated.
The variant of the offset use of the pulling movement can also be applied to the movement from the remaining stacking rod 7 to the remaining stacking rod 7, depending on the nature of the sheets. This results in a further reduction in the time for changing the stack while maintaining good stack quality.

Die Antriebe der Reststapelstäbe 7 sind dazu so zu gestalten, daß die Geschwindigkeit beim Ziehvorgang von Stab zu Stab veränderbar ist. Dies gelingt bevorzugt durch Einzelantriebsvorrichtungen der Reststapelstäbe 7. Möglich ist aber auch eine für alle Reststapelstäbe 7 gemeinsame Antriebsvorrichtung, die jedoch je nach Konstruktion an den jeweiligen Tragstab 7A oder Distanzstab 7B ankoppelbar ist oder bei der die Bewegung der jeweiligen Tragstäbe 7A oder Distanzstäbe 7B sukzessive nacheinander freigegeben wird.The drives of the remaining stacking rods 7 are to be designed so that the The speed during the drawing process can be changed from rod to rod. This succeeds preferably by means of individual drive devices for the remaining stacking bars 7 but also a common for all remaining stacking rods 7 drive device however depending on the construction on the respective support rod 7A or spacer rod 7B can be coupled or in which the movement of the respective support rods 7A or Spacer bars 7B is successively released.

Der Stapelwechsel läuft also wie folgt ab:

  • I. - Bei Erreichen einer Mindesthöhe des Bogenstapels S wird der Stapelwechselvorgang gestartet.
  • II. - Die Tragstäbe 7A und die Distanzstäbe 7B werden gemeinsam vom Gestell 6 aus in die Nuten der Palette P unterhalb des Bogenstapels S eingeschoben, wobei der Bogenstapel S an der Rückseite zur Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 hin frei bleibt.
  • III. - Die Tragstäbe 7A werden von der Reststapelhubschiene unterfahren und angehoben bis der Reststapel H von den Tragstäben 7A getragen wird.
  • IV. - Die Palette P wird abgesenkt und aus dem Bogenanleger 2 entfernt.
  • V. - Der Reststapel H wird mittels des Hilfstapelhubantriebes kontinuierlich zur Vereinzelung der Bogen weiter angehoben.
  • VI. - Ein neuer Bogenstapel S wird in den Bogenanleger 2 eingesetzt und mittels des Hauptstapelhubes angehoben.
  • VII. - Bei Berührung der Oberseite des Bogenstapels S mit der Unterseite der Tragstäbe 7A wird der Ziehvorgang der Tragstäbe 7A eingeleitet.
  • VIII. - Die inneren Tragstäbe 7A werden mit einer ersten Geschwindigkeit zwischen Reststapel H und Bogenstapel S herausgezogen.
  • IX. - Die folgenden weiter außen liegenden Tragstäbe 7A werden mit einer zweiten, größeren Geschwindigkeit zwischen Reststapel H und Bogenstapel S herausgezogen.
  • X. - Der Reststapel H legt sich von innen nach außen kontinuierlich auf den Distanzstäben 7B ab.
  • XI. - Die Reststapelhubschiene wird frei, die Reststapeltragvorrichtung 3 übernimmt keine Last mehr, die verbleibenden Distanzstäbe 7B haben nur noch Steuerungsfunktion für die Stapelvereinigung.
  • XII. - Die inneren Distanzstäbe 7B werden mit einer ersten Geschwindigkeit zwischen Reststapel H und Bogenstapel S herausgezogen.
  • XIII. - Die folgenden weiter außen liegenden Distanzstäbe 7B werden mit einer zweiten, größeren Geschwindigkeit zwischen Reststapel H und Bogenstapel S herausgezogen.
  • XIV. - Der Reststapel H legt sich von innen nach außen kontinuierlich auf der Oberseite des Bogenstapels S ab.
  • XV. - Der Stapelwechsel ist beendet.
  • The batch change therefore takes place as follows:
  • I. - When a minimum height of the sheet stack S is reached, the stack changing process is started.
  • II. - The support rods 7A and the spacer rods 7B are pushed together from the frame 6 into the grooves of the pallet P below the sheet stack S, the sheet stack S remaining on the back to the rest of the stack support device 3.
  • III. - The support rods 7A are moved under by the residual stack lifting rail and raised until the residual stack H is carried by the support rods 7A.
  • IV. - The pallet P is lowered and removed from the sheet feeder 2.
  • V. - The remaining stack H is continuously raised by means of the auxiliary stack lifting drive to separate the sheets.
  • VI. - A new sheet stack S is inserted into the sheet feeder 2 and raised by means of the main stack stroke.
  • VII. - When the top of the sheet stack S touches the underside of the support rods 7A, the drawing process of the support rods 7A is initiated.
  • VIII. - The inner support rods 7A are pulled out at a first speed between the remaining stack H and the stack of sheets S.
  • IX. The following support rods 7A located further out are pulled out at a second, greater speed between the remaining stack H and the stack of sheets S.
  • X. - The remaining stack H is continuously deposited on the spacer bars 7B from the inside to the outside.
  • XI. The rest of the stack lifting rail becomes free, the rest of the stack support device 3 no longer takes on the load, the remaining spacer bars 7B only have control functions for stacking.
  • XII. - The inner spacer bars 7B are pulled out at a first speed between the remaining stack H and the stack of sheets S.
  • XIII. The following spacer bars 7B located further out are pulled out at a second, higher speed between the remaining stack H and the stack of sheets S.
  • XIV. - The remaining stack H is continuously deposited on the top of the sheet stack S from the inside out.
  • XV. - The stack change has ended.
  • Der ganze Ablauf hat den Vorteil, daß der Reststapel H sich dem Bogenstapel S kontinuierlich nähert, sodaß keine Sprungstellen beim Entfernen der Reststapelstäbe 7 entstehen, die sich auf die Bogenvereinzelung oder den Abtransport der Bogen aus dem Bogenanleger 2 auf den Bändertisch 20 störend auswirken oder gar den Betriebsablauf unterbrechen könnten. Dies gilt zunächst für die ständige Nachführung der Stapeloberseite gegenüber der Bogenvereinzelungseinrichtung, wo ein Abstand innerhalb eines Toleranzbereiches einzuhalten ist. Weiterhin gilt dies für den Abtransport von Bogen nach der Vereinzelung, da an der Vorderkante des Bogenstapels S bzw. Reststapels H Steuermittel, z.B. eine sogenannte Bogenklappe, vorgesehen sind, die den Bogenweg zum Bändertisch 20 freigeben oder blockieren. Auch hier ist eine vorgegebene Höhentoleranz einzuhalten, damit die Bogenvorderkante beim Abtransport durch die Schubbewegung von der Bogenhinterkante her nicht anschlägt und damit gestaucht wird.The whole procedure has the advantage that the remaining stack H is the sheet stack S continuously approaching, so that no jump points when removing the Remaining stacking rods 7 arise, which affect the sheet separation or the Removal of the sheets from the sheet feeder 2 on the belt table 20 disturbing impact or even interrupt the operational process. This applies initially for constant tracking of the top of the stack against the Sheet separation device, where a distance within a Tolerance range must be observed. This also applies to the removal of Sheet after the separation, because at the front edge of the sheet stack S or Remaining stack H control means, e.g. a so-called bow flap are provided that release or block the sheet path to the belt table 20. Here too maintain a predetermined height tolerance so that the leading edge of the sheet Not removed by the pushing movement from the trailing edge of the sheet strikes and is compressed.

    In einer weiteren Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, nicht alle der Reststapeltragstäbe 7 einzusetzen. So können bei sehr dicken Bogenstoffen, die sich infolge ihrer Stabilität nur langsam in den beim Ziehen der Tragstäbe 7A größer werdenden Zwischenraum zwischen den im Spalt zwischen Bogenstapel S und Reststapel H einsenken, die Distanzstäbe 7B weggelassen werden. Damit wird der Wechselvorgang beschleunigt, da Zeit für das Ziehen der Distanzstäbe 7B eingespart wird.
    Ebenso können in der Stapelmitte paarweise Tragstäbe 7A weggelassen werden, sodaß sich der Hilfstapel H dort sofort auf die Distanzstäbe 7B absenkt. Der Anpassungsvorgang an der Stapeloberfläche in Bezug auf die Vereinzelungsvorrichtung kann durch zunächst langsames Absenken der Palette P unterstützt werden.
    Für diese Maßnahmen müssen die entsprechenden Reststapelstäbe 7 nicht entnommen werden. Es genügt, dazu die entsprechenden Antriebsmittel auszukoppeln oder zu blockieren. Diese Reststapelstäbe 7 werden dann natürlich auch nicht vor dem Stapelwechsel in die Nuten der Palette P eingefahren.
    In a further embodiment it can be provided that not all of the remaining stack support rods 7 are used. In the case of very thick sheet materials which, due to their stability, sink only slowly into the space between the gap in the gap between sheet stack S and remaining stack H, which increases when the support rods 7A are pulled, the spacer rods 7B can be omitted. This speeds up the changing process since time is saved for pulling the spacer bars 7B.
    Likewise, support rods 7A can be omitted in pairs in the middle of the stack, so that the auxiliary stack H is immediately lowered onto the spacer rods 7B there. The adaptation process on the stack surface with respect to the separating device can be supported by first slowly lowering the pallet P.
    The corresponding remaining stacking rods 7 do not have to be removed for these measures. It is sufficient to decouple or block the corresponding drive means. Of course, these remaining stacking rods 7 are then not inserted into the grooves of the pallet P before the stack change.

    Vor allem auch für die zuletzt genannten Anwendungsfälle ist die Ziehbewegung der einzelnen Reststapelstäbe 7 mit unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten sehr wichtig, um den kontinuierlichen Ablauf der Bogenvereinzelung zu sichern.The pulling movement is especially important for the last-mentioned applications of the individual remaining stacking bars 7 at different speeds important to ensure the continuous process of sheet separation.
