Definitions

  • the invention relates to a conveyor system for collating and editing printing sheets on a saddle-shaped Support of a transport device astride by rotating Carrier transported and by means of a sword of the transport device removed and handed over to a lifting device become.
  • a conveyor system of this is by the applicant's CH-A-358 100 known.
  • a lift-off sword is provided, that under a longitudinal slot in a riding rail is arranged. This is achieved by means of an actuation system Sword periodically with a vertical component of motion and a movement component oriented in the feed direction obliquely to the direction of feed through said longitudinal slot lifted up. With this movement the lifting blade will be the printed sheets are lifted from the transport device.
  • the Printed sheets are folded, single or combined into brochures Sheets of paper.
  • the task is in a generic conveyor system resolved that the transport facility is in the area lowers the sword and the catches the printed products slide on the immovable sword in the conveying direction. At the sword does not have to move in the system according to the invention become.
  • the previously required and comparatively complex movement system is obsolete and on the other hand the bows are treated more gently since the sword does not hit the bow.
  • the bows are through the Carrier pushed onto the stationary sword and then the drivers become by lowering the transport device each brought into a position in which they no longer act on the bow.
  • the system according to the invention allows a continuous and very gentle though also quick transfer of the sheets from the transport device to the sword, where the bow each from a lifting device to get nabbed.
  • the lifting device is preferably a rotating device as described in EP 0 771 675 A by the applicant is disclosed.
  • the transfer of the sheets to the sword is particularly reliable and gentle if, according to a further development of the invention, the sword has an upper leading edge which is flush with a ridge line of the transport device.
  • the drivers each push the sheets onto this leading edge, whereby they are not raised or only slightly raised and are thus conveyed essentially horizontally and in a straight line.
  • the lifting of the bow from the sword is particularly safe when the sword has at least one recess, in the area of which the bow can be gripped, for example by a rotating lifting device on the fold, for example by clamping. If, according to a further development of the invention, two recesses are arranged at a distance from one another, the sheets can each be gripped at two points arranged at a distance from one another. This enables the bow to be guided particularly securely when it is lifted off the sword.
  • a horizontally extending guide plate arranged for the printed products.
  • This guide plate preferably extends into the area of the sword and guides the arch in this area so that it is V-shaped are open and the drivers in the lowering area of the Transport device brought into position very quickly in which they are outside their sphere of activity are.
  • a guide plate arranged on each side of the transport device.
  • the conveyor system shown has a section in FIG. 1 shown transport device 2, which according to Figure 2 has a frame 24 which is attached to a machine stand 25 is appropriate.
  • the transport device 2 has an endless Double chain 5 on a chain drive 3, deflection sprockets 4 and 9 and other sprockets not shown here is flipped.
  • the double chain 5 has two Chain strands 5a, which run parallel to one another and one Form gap 26.
  • the two chain strands 5a each have a link chain 7 indicated in Figure 1, on which Support parts 6 are snapped on.
  • the two arc parts 1b are fixed on one Frame attached guide plates 11 guided such that the sheets 1 are each V-shaped according to FIG. 2 in vertical section are open.
  • the sheets 11 each form a plane and according to Figure 2 to the vertical inclined sliding surface lla.
  • the sheets 11 preferably extend essentially according to FIG over the entire length of the conveyor line and in particular essentially up to the area of the chain drive wheel 3.
  • the sheets 11 are fixed as mentioned and with suitable Averaging over the frame 24 and on a machine frame 25 attached.
  • the double chain 5 is at a distance from the chain drive wheel 3 deflected by the sprocket 9, such that in a kink B is formed in a transfer area A the one shown in dash-dotted lines in FIGS. 3a to 3c Ridge line 14 from a horizontal region 14a into an inclined one and descending area 14b.
  • the sword 13 is a comparative one narrow rail and has an upper edge 13b which is substantially runs horizontally. At a front end 13a this edge 13b dips slightly below the horizontal according to FIG. 3a Area 14a of the ridge line 14. The horizontal course the edge 13b is interrupted by two depressions 13d, which are spaced apart. Between two recesses 13d there is a protruding upward Guide lug 13c, as shown in the direction of transport rising gently and then falling steeply is.
  • a lifting device 30 also a display called, arranged a propeller-shaped carrier 21st has, which is clockwise about a fixed axis 20th is driven in rotation.
  • the drive takes place, for example via a gear 17, a drive wheel 15 and a Has tension roller 18, around which a toothed belt 16 is placed, who is engaged with a wheel 19.
  • On the carrier 21 are in symmetrical arrangement at a distance from the axis 20 in each case Gripping member 22 arranged with which a sheet 1 in the area of his Falzes la can be grasped.
  • the gripping members 22 have for example, two spaced apart Clamps 22a.
  • the carrier 21 rotates precisely to the transport device 2nd
  • the endless double chain 5 is according to Figure 1 in the direction of Arrow 12 driven and transported the printed products 1st accordingly from right to left.
  • a printed product 1 according to FIG. 3a now reaches the Transfer area A, this is with the leading edge lc on the front end 13a of the sword 13 by the adjacent Carrier 8 pushed on and runs approximately at break point B.
  • the printed product 1 at its front end on the fold 14a on the Edge 13b.
  • the sword 13 engages with its front End 13a between the two parts 1b of the sheet 1.
  • the Driver 8 now pushes the sheet 1 continuously on the Sword 13 until the leading edge lc is roughly the one in figure 3b has reached the position shown.
  • the pushing driver 8 now leads a vertical movement component due to the deflection of the double chain 5 downwards and finally reaches according to Figure 3c shows a position in which he is no longer engaged with the printed product 1 and in which it is between the guide plates 11 is submerged.
  • the Printing sheet 1 gripped by a gripping member 22 on the fold 14a and rotated clockwise from the sword 13.
  • a subsequent further printed product 1 on the Sword 13 pushed on and the above process repeated themselves in the same way.
  • the lifting device 30 leads the captured printed product 1 of a further transport device and usually other processing machines, for example a cutting machine.
