Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur zwangsgeführten Übergabe von flachen Produkten, insbesondere in einem unteren Falzapparat einer Rotationsdruckmaschine.The present invention relates to a device and a method for positively driven Delivery of flat products, especially in a lower folder Rotary printing press.

Häufig besteht die Notwendigkeit, einen von einem herkömmlichen Greiferförderer transportieren Strom bedruckter Produkte in zwei oder mehrere getrennte Produktströme aufzuteilen. Ein bekanntes Verfahren zum Aufteilen eines Produktstroms besteht darin, den einlaufenden Produktstrom über ein sich mit geringerer Geschwindigkeit als das Fördersystem bewegendes Vakuumband zu leiten und eine Freigabe jedes zweiten Produkts durch das Fördersystem zu bewirken, sobald das entsprechende Produkt das Vakuumband kontaktiert. Sobald die flachen Produkte jedoch freigegeben sind, fallen sie in beliebige Positionen auf das Vakuumband, so dass ihre Position auf dem Band nicht exakt bekannt ist. Demgemäß kann weder eine korrekte Ausrichtung noch ein gleichmäßiger Abstand zwischen den Produkten (d. h. zwischen den Vorderkanten zweier aufeinanderfolgender flacher Produkte) sichergestellt werden.Often there is a need for a conventional gripper conveyor transport stream of printed products into two or more separate product streams split up. A known method for dividing a product stream is to incoming product stream over a slower rate than that Conveying system moving vacuum belt and a release of every second product through the conveyor system as soon as the corresponding product the vacuum belt contacted. However, once the flat products are released, they fall into any Positions on the vacuum belt so that their position on the belt is not exactly known is. Accordingly, there can be neither correct alignment nor even spacing between the products (i.e. between the leading edges of two consecutive flat products).

In der US 5,740,900 ist beispielsweise eine Vorrichtung zum Aufteilen eines Produktstroms beschrieben, die ein einzelnes Förderband mit einer Vielzahl von darauf angeordneten Greifern umfasst, die entlang einer einzigen Förderbahn in zwei Produktströme laufen. Mindestens einer der Greifer ist derart ausgebildet, dass er ein erfasstes flaches Produkt von der einen Seite des Bandes auf die andere Seite des Bandes schwenken kann, so dass ein parallel verlaufender zweiter Produktstrom entsteht. Auf diese Weise werden auf einem einzigen Transportband zwei nebeneinander angeordnete Produktströme gebildet, wobei die Zwangsführung der Produkte zu jedem Zeitpunkt gewährleistet ist. In der beschriebenen Vorrichtung erfolgt zu keinem Zeitpunkt eine Übergabe der Produkte, beispielsweise an ein Vakuumband, die zu den oben erwähnten Ausrichtungs- und Abstandsproblemen führen könnte.US Pat. No. 5,740,900, for example, describes a device for dividing a product stream described that a single conveyor belt with a plurality of arranged thereon Grippers that run along a single conveyor in two product streams. At least one of the grippers is designed such that it detects a flat product from one side of the band can swing to the other side of the band so that a parallel second product stream is created. That way, on one single conveyor belt formed two adjacent product streams, the Forced control of the products is guaranteed at all times. In the described At no time does the device hand over the products, for example to Vacuum tape that leads to the alignment and spacing problems mentioned above could.

Aus der US 5,560,599 ist eine Bremsvorrichtung zum Abbremsen von in einem Falzapparat transportierten Signaturen bekannt. Die Bremsvorrichtung umfasst eine Bremstrommel mit einer Vielzahl von Drehgreifern, die eine Kante der von einem Hochgeschwindigkeits-Bandfördersystem des Falzapparats transportierten Signaturen sicher erfassen. Die Signaturen werden durch die Greifer und die Trommel abgebremst, bevor sie über einem Auslegestapel freigegeben werden.From US 5,560,599 is a braking device for braking in a folder transported signatures known. The braking device also includes a brake drum a variety of rotary grippers that have an edge of a high speed belt conveyor system of the folder transported signatures securely. The Signatures are slowed down by the grippers and the drum before they are over you Delivery pile to be released.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht dann, eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur zwangsgeführten Übergabe flacher Produkte insbesondere in einem unteren Falzapparat einer Rotationsdruckmaschine zu schaffen, durch welche die beschriebenen Nachteile bekannter Vorrichtungen und Verfahren dieser Art beseitigt und insbesondere eine permanente Zwangsführung der flachen Produkte während der Übergabe an eine Transportbahn einer Vielzahl von Transportbahnen sichergestellt wird.The object of the present invention is then an apparatus and a method For the forced delivery of flat products, especially in a lower folder to create a rotary printing press, by which the disadvantages described known devices and methods of this type are eliminated and in particular a permanent forced control of the flat products during the transfer to a Transport track of a variety of transport tracks is ensured.
