  • the gripper systems produce along the trajectory traversed by these trailing currents, particularly in reaches the area of said opening.
  • the gripper systems usually guide the sheets between them and a sheet guiding surface formed air cushion, which in particular is generated by means of air blown into the boom housing. That air also requires a in the area of said opening of the Airflow entering the boom housing.
  • the known booms mentioned have in common that in particular a Those air flows loaded with powder do not emerge from the opening is preventable, which are generated by the blowing devices, by means of which the sinking of a sheet released for stack formation is accelerated. Furthermore, an enormous suction power is required to the remaining air flows in the boom housing at an outlet from the opening of the same.
  • the invention has for its object the environment of the entrance to keep the mentioned boom largely free of powder.
  • Motor-driven fluid flow machines are used to solve this task provided which operationally exits from the opening air flows capture and generate air flows flowing back into the boom housing.
  • a boom 1 follows a last one Processing station of the printing press.
  • a processing station can be a printing unit or an aftertreatment unit, for example a coating unit.
  • the last one is Processing station around a printing unit 2 working in the offset process a pressure cylinder 2.1.
  • the Sheet conveyor 4 comprises two conveyor chains 6, each of which operationally along a respective side wall of the chain boom 1 circulates.
  • a respective conveyor chain 6 wraps around one of two synchronously driven drive sprockets 7, whose axes of rotation are aligned and is in the present example one over each Drive sprockets 7 downstream with respect to the processing direction located deflection sprocket 8 out.
  • gripper systems 9 carried by them with grippers 9.1, what gaps between the grippers arranged on the pressure cylinder 2.1 drive through and in doing so a respective sheet 3 while detecting the above Gripper edge at the leading end of the sheet 3 immediately before Open the gripper arranged on the pressure cylinder 2.1 and use it of the lower strand of the sheet conveyor 4 in a sheet transport direction indicated by the arrow 3.1 over a Transport sheet guide device 10 to a sheet brake 11 and open there for the transfer of the sheet 3 to the sheet brake 11.
  • the conveyor chains 6 are along their paths between the Drive sprockets 7 on the one hand and the deflection sprockets 8 on the other hand guided by chain guide rails, which thus the chain tracks of Determine chain dreams.
  • the sheets 3 of the lower chain center in Fig. 1 transported.
  • the one that this one went through Section of the chain track follows a, facing this Sheet guiding device 10 formed sheet guiding surface 17.
  • Between these and the respective arc 3 passed over is preferably operationally on Air cushion formed.
  • the sheet guiding device 10 is included in the Sheet guiding surface equipped 17 blowing air nozzles, of which in Fig. 1 is only a representative of their entirety, and in symbolic Representation in the form of the nozzle 18 is reproduced.
  • a coolant circuit in the sheet guide device 10 integrated, symbolically in Fig. 1 by an inlet port 21 and a Outlet port 22 on one of the sheet guide surface 17 associated Coolant pan 23 is indicated.
  • the boom comprises a boom housing 1.1, which on an underside the same has an opening 1.2 through which the operational for Formation of the stack 14 released sheet 3 the boom housing 1.1 leave.
  • the interior of the boom housing 1.1 is with a suction line 25 in Connection in which there is an operating vacuum.
  • the Suction line 25 is on the one hand to a not shown Vacuum generator and on the other hand to one in the boom housing 1.1 arranged suction shaft 25.1 connected, the at least one Has suction opening 25.2.
  • the opening 1.2 are only shown stylized in FIGS. 1 and 3 motor-driven flow machines 26 assigned. These are preferably as an axial fan with an integrated drive motor 26.1 formed and, as for one of the turbomachines 26 in FIG. 2 shown schematically and only by way of example, on one Frame construction 27 mounted.
  • the flow machines 26 are related the opening 1.2 of the boom housing 1.1 placed so that it is operational Detect air flows emerging from opening 1.2.
  • the flow machines 26 are preferably so with respect to the opening 1.2 arranged that the air flows leaving the boom housing 1.1 the shortest possible route into the sphere of influence of the suction sides of the Flow machines 26 arrive. In the present embodiment, this is the case realized as follows.
  • a subset of the flow machines 26 forms a first row 26 'of side by side axial fans with vertically aligned Axes of rotation.
  • a residual quantity of the flow machines 26 forms one second row 26 '' and a third row 26 '' 'arranged side by side Axial blowers with also vertically aligned axes of rotation.
  • the opening 1.2 is laterally by one Side wall 1.3 and 1.4 of the boom limited, which in particular the in Fig. 3 wear not shown sheet conveyor.
  • On the opening 1.2 opposite sides of a respective one of the side walls 1.3 and 1.4 and above these side walls, leaving a respective distance to the side faces and the upper end faces of the side walls 1.3 and 1.4 an interior 16 of the boom housing 1.1 forming Housing 1.5 arranged, which is essentially down to a lower Level extends on which the lower end faces of the side walls 1.3 and 1.4 lie. Essentially at this level is between the side wall 1.3 and the housing wall 1.5, the second row 26 '' of Flow machines 26 and between the side wall 1.4 and the Housing wall 1.5, the third row 26 '' 'of turbomachines 26 arranged.
  • the suction sides of the flow machines 26 are the opening 1.2 leaving air streams at least essentially facing. in the In the present exemplary embodiment, these suction sides point downwards.
  • the second and third rows 26 ′′ and 26 ′′ ′′ of the flow machines 26 each extend at least substantially along the extent of the Opening 1.2 in the sheet transport direction 3.1. From the rows to these 26 '' and 26 '' 'combined flow machines 26 generated operationally Air flows 29.1 and 29.2 flow in from outside the boom housing 1.1 this back and are by means of flow shafts 30.1 and 30.2 performed, each between the side wall 1.3 and 1.4 on the one hand and the Housing wall 1.5 are formed on the other hand.
  • the flow shafts 30.1 and 30.2 create a separation within the boom housing 1.1 in this back-flowing air flows 29.1 and 29.2 on the one hand and from the Opening 1.2 emerging air flows 31.1 and 31.2 on the other hand, so that targeted circulating flows are obtained after they exit the opening 1.2 again in the boom housing 1.1.
  • the respective The direction of rotation of these circulating flows is indicated by arrows in FIG. 3 indicated.
  • the first also generates Row 26 'of turbomachines 26 a circulating flow which in the boom housing 1.1 back flowing air flows 29.3 and from the Opening 1.2 exits air flows 31.3.
  • the circulating mentioned Flows are separated from one another in FIGS. 1 and 3 shown, although this due to the interaction of the two Currents deviate from the way they are presented exhibit. The way of representation only illustrates the influence of a respective of the circulating flows to that generated by them Total flow.
  • This overall flow is influenced by very few Suction opening 25.2. This is placed in such a way that it is named Total flow operationally partial flows 32.1, 32.2 (according to FIG. 3) and 32.3 (as shown in FIG. 1).
  • Another advantage is associated with the above-mentioned revolution in that the powder discharge from the dusting device 20 can be reduced, because a part of the powder flow that did not get onto the sheets at first Drag the circulating air streams to the bows and get one non-adherent part of the total circulating flow carried away and deflected towards the arch.
  • the first row 26 ' is also preferred Flow machines 26 a flow shaft is provided, the back flowing air flow 29.3 from the exiting from the opening Airflow 31.3 separates.
