Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transport device, in particular to a Transport device for transporting signatures to a processing station, the moving on a saddle chain moving at constant speed Move saddle stitches.
- the Signature bundle is gripped by the pendulum arrangement, moved to the stapling station and released there.
- the pendulum arrangement then moves back and takes hold the following bundle of signatures to feed it to the stapling station while the bundles previously handed over to the stapling station and now stapled and is fed to the boom.
- a transfer device and a stapling machine of this Types are described in US 3,317,026.
- the known transport systems for saddle stitchers include a so-called Pendulum gripper system with grippers arranged in a row, which are closed Press the condition against the outside of the book. These grippers are with one Counter pressure range connected on the inside of the book in a way that half of the book is held between the grippers and the counter pressure range. The grabs open, hand the book over to the stapling station and move back into the closed state. The grippers close around each other on the saddle chain with constant Books moving at speed when they start moving forward again. In this way, the books are accelerated away from the saddle chain and in one Stapling position stopped.
- the entire gripper and counter-pressure rod arrangement is open a linear sliding surface and is back and forth by a Kuriebrieb emotional.
- a variety of collated signatures one on top of the other constant speed moving saddle chain are arranged, moves on a Transfer point at which the bundle of signatures is transferred to the processing station shall be.
- the transport device takes over the bundle of signatures and moves it from the saddle chain moving at constant speed to the Processing station.
- the transport device is and is subordinate to the saddle chain driven independently of the saddle chain. It includes a second moving one Transport chain that is driven with a predetermined speed profile and can move at variable speed.
- the Transport device according to the present invention preferably devices which keep the bundles of signatures in predetermined positions on the transport chain.
- the second chain moves at the same speed as the saddle chain.
- the bundle of signatures is immediately after passing through the transfer point of devices provided for this purpose in predetermined positions the saddle chain held on at least until the end of the machining process act on the bundle of signatures.
- the transport chain is according to a predetermined speed profile accelerated so that the bundle of signatures from the saddle chain moving away at a constant speed Processing station, e.g. B. a stapling station is transported.
- a stapling station is transported.
- the transport chain is slowed down and finally in one for editing the signature, e.g. B. stopped for stapling, appropriate position.
- the transport chain is accelerated again that the bundle of signatures to another processing station or to a Transfer point is transported to where it is to another or last Processing station or is passed to another transport device. While the entire process, d. H. even during processing, the bundle of signatures of devices provided for this purpose in the specified position on the transport chain held.
- a drive and control device coupled to the second chain easily adjust the speed profile of the second transport chain different operating conditions occur.
- the second transport chain is via the Drive and control device driven, which also the Speed profile controls.
- the devices that the signature bundles in Hold the specified positions on the second chain ensure that the position the bundle of signatures on the moving saddle chain during transport and does not change during the machining process in the machining station. this makes possible high speed and fast acceleration of the transport chain as well as a high processing speed in the processing station.
- FIG. 1 shows a possible speed profile of a transport device according to the present invention, as is shown schematically in FIG. 2.
- the horizontal axis indicates the time in any unit, the vertical axis also the speed in any unit.
- a processing period takes from t 0 to t 5 .
- the speed of the transport chain 20 is zero, the transport chain 20 starting to move immediately at this point in time, so that its speed increases up to a value v c at time t 1 , v c being the speed of the movement constant speed moving saddle chain 10 is.
- the transport chain 20 moves at a constant speed v c .
- a bundled signature bundle 12 on the saddle chain 10 moving at the same speed is led to the transfer point P, where it is transferred to the transport chain 20, which at this time is moving at the same speed v c as the saddle chain 10.
- the transport chain 20 is accelerated until it has reached its maximum speed v m at time t 3 .
- the transport chain 20 is braked again until the signatures have reached a stapling station at time t 4 , at which the transport chain 20 is stopped.
- the machining process takes place, e.g. B. stapling instead, after which the bundle of signatures is transported away from the processing station at time t 5 .
- t 5 corresponds to t 0 , since at time t 5 the speed profile starts again.
- FIG. 2 shows a saddle chain 10 moving at a constant speed of a bundle of signatures 12 moving at a constant speed in the direction of Arrow A moves by the trailing edge of the signature bundle 12 from one on the Saddle chain 10 arranged driver 22 is pushed forward.
- the driver 22 pushes the bundle of signatures 12 in the direction of the transfer point P, where the Saddle chain 10 together with the driver 22 moves down so that the Driver 22 no longer acts on the signature bundle 12 and the signature bundle 12 is no longer moved by the saddle chain 10.
- the bundle of signatures 12 now has a position immediately after the transfer point P. reached, which is represented by the position of the signature bundle 14.
- the bundle of signatures 14 is transferred to devices 24, which have the Keep signatures 14 in predetermined positions on the transport chain 20, as in following is explained in more detail.
- the bundle of signatures 14 is then variable Speed of the transport chain 20 transported on this and from Holding devices 24, which they do not release during the entire transport, in predetermined positions held.
- the bundle of signatures 14 to the Pass stapling station 30 where it is in a position defined by the Signature bundle 16 is displayed. They work during the stitching process Holding devices 24, which hold the signatures in a predetermined position, preferably still on the bundle of signatures.
- the bundle of signatures 14 according to the speed profile of the transport chain 20 moved forward to a position indicated by the bundle of signatures 18 and in which the bundle of signatures for transport to other processing stations to another Transport device is handed over.
- a bundle of signatures 12 which moves at a constant speed on the saddle chain 10, is transferred to the second transport chain 20 moving according to a speed profile.
- a driver 22 acts on the rear edge of the bundle of signatures. Since this carrier 22 is fastened to the saddle chain 10, the bundle of signatures 12 is moved forward at the constant speed v c of the saddle chain 10 until the saddle chain 10 moves downward over the rollers 26, 28, so that the carriers 22 do not act longer on the bundle of signatures 12.
- the bundle of signatures 12 is transferred to the second transport chain 20 moving with a speed profile.
- the transport chain 20 is guided over the roller 32.
- grippers 24 Arranged on the chain 20 moving at variable speed are grippers 24 which act on the rear edge of the bundle of signatures and clamp them in a desired position on the transport chain 20.
- a bundle of signatures that has reached the position indicated by the bundle of signatures 12 moves at a constant speed v c .
- this preferably moves at the same speed v c as the saddle chain 10.
- One of the grippers 24 arranged on the transport chain 20 acts on the rear edge of the transferred signature bundle 12, so that the forward movement of the signature bundle 12 at the transfer point is not interrupted, but rather the signature bundle 12 is transferred from the saddle chain 10 to the transport chain 20 moving at variable speed essentially at a constant speed v c .
- Has the bundle of signatures 12 passed the transfer point P and z. B. reached the position indicated by the signature 14, it is accelerated on the transport chain 20 away from the saddle chain 10 by the transport chain 20 is accelerated according to the speed profile shown as an example in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 4a shows a gripper 40 and an opening and closing mechanism.
- the gripper 40 shown in FIG. 4a is arranged on the transport chain 20 in such a way that it can grip the signatures 14 and holds it in a predetermined position on the transport chain 20 during the entire transport.
- the gripper 40 comprises a side plate 42, by means of which the gripper 40 is fastened to the transport chain 20.
- the side plate 42 is attached to a U-shaped bracket 44 which has an upper opening 46 and a lower opening 48 covered by a plate 49.
- a gripper hook 50 running through the upper opening 46 and the lower opening 48 is coupled to a spring 52 acting on it, which exerts a force on the hook 50 directed downwards or in the direction of the lower opening 48.
- the gripper 40 In this position, the gripper 40 is in a so-called closed “state in which he can hold a bundle of signatures.
- the gripper 40 By acting on the hook 50, in particular on the lower end of the hook 50 running through the lower opening 48, the gripper 40 can move into a opened "state.
- FIG. 4b shows three positions 41, 43, 45 of a gripper 40 arranged on the transport chain 20 (not shown).
- the gripper 40 After further movement of the transport chain 20, the gripper 40 reaches the position 43, in which a curved profile 54, preferably connected to the transport chain 20, begins to act on the lower end of the hook 50, which extends through the lower opening 48 of the holder 44, and this due to its shape presses upwards so that the hook 50 moves through the upper opening 46 and the lower opening 48 and assumes an open position in which the gripper 40 can grip the signature bundle 14.
- the spring 52 of the gripper 40 is compressed and exerts a downward force on the hook 50, since it is coupled to the hook 50 directly or via the plate 49.
- the gripper 40 moves at a somewhat higher speed than the bundle of signatures 14. Accordingly, the distance between the grippers is reduced 40 and the signature bundle 14 until the gripper 40 can act on the rear edge of the signature bundle 14.
- a curve profile 54 is associated with the transport chain and acts on the grippers 40 can.
- the grippers 40 moving at the speed of the conveyor chain 20 can thus be opened and closed so that the bundle of signatures 14 is gripped and in a predetermined position during the transport and processing operation can be held.
- the same opening and closing device described above can be used when the bundle of signatures is transported away from the transport chain shall be.
- the devices that the signature bundle in one Hold the predetermined position on the transport chain 20 also belt devices 34 include.
- grippers 40 are laterally spaced apart along the saddle chain 20 Band devices 34 arranged so that the signature bundle 14 between the Belt devices 34 and the transport chain 20 can be clamped.
- the Belt devices 34 move at substantially the same speed profile like the transport chain 20. This is a between the transport chain 20 and the Belt devices 34 clamped signature 14 with the speed profile of the Chain 20 moves.
- the belt devices 34 can be at least a variety of arranged on one side of the transport chain 20, with the same speed profile as the chain 20 driven rollers are replaced. Both the tape devices as well the rollers can either on one or on both sides of the transport chain be arranged and act on the signature bundle 14 to it during transport and To keep the machining process in predetermined positions on the transport chain 20.
- the signatures in predetermined positions on the Hold transport chain 20, arranged laterally on the transport chain 20 and act on the Signatures 14, by at least on one side of the signature bundle a blown air stream is directed.
- the z. B. individual nozzles or air tubes with air nozzles May include a blow air flow on the moving on the transport chain Align signature bundle 14.
- the airflow directed onto the bundle of signatures 14 exercises Pressure on the signature bundle 14, so that the signature bundle 14 against the Transport chain 20 is pressed and accordingly with the speed profile of the Transport chain 20 moves.
- the distance between the blowing devices is chosen so that preferably a constant air flow onto those moving on the transport chain Signatures.
- the blown air flow can also be reduced, increased, or reduced if necessary be switched off so that the pressure is appropriate to the respective requirements can be regulated.
- 20 carriers 36 on the transport chain be arranged to the contact between the bundle of signatures and the Transport chain 20 and to improve transport behavior.
- carrier 36 attached to the transport chain 20 as the only devices to provide which keep the signatures in close contact with the transport chain 20.
- the grippers 40 can also be used in addition to the belt devices 34, the rollers or the blowing devices 38 are used.
