Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sammelhefter, welcher wenigstens die Baugruppen Sammelkette, Heftschlitten, Hefthubeinrichtung, Auswerfer und Auslage aufweist.The invention relates to a saddle stitcher, which at least the assemblies Has collection chain, tacking carriage, tacking lifting device, ejector and delivery.
Sammelhefter sind papierverarbeitende Maschinen, mit denen ein Produkt, beispielsweise eine Broschüre, aus mehreren Falzbogen zusammen gestellt und geheftet wird. Auf Falzbogenanlegern liegend oder auf dem Rücken stehend, werden bedruckte Falzbogen aus Stapeln vereinzelt zugeführt, geöffnet und auf eine Sammelkette aufgelegt. Die zu heftende Anzahl von Falzbogen wird auf der Sammelkette durch Mitnehmer gesammelt und ausgerichtet. Die Sammelkette transportiert die gesammelten Falzbogen zu einer Hefteinrichtung, wo diese durch Heftköpfe mit Drahtklammern geheftet werden. Um den Rand der gehefteten Produkte zu beschneiden, ist üblicherweise nach dem Auswurf ein sogenannter Trimmer vorgesehen, von welchem die Endprodukte zu einer Auslage weiter transportiert werden.Saddle stitchers are paper processing machines that are used to make a product, for example a brochure composed of several folded sheets and stapled. On Folded sheet feeders lying or standing on their back are printed folded sheets Stacked individually fed, opened and placed on a collecting chain. The one to be stapled Number of folding sheets is collected on the collection chain by carriers and aligned. The collection chain transports the collected folded sheets to one Stapler where they are stapled with wire clips. To the Trimming the edge of the stapled products is usually done after ejection So-called trimmer is provided, from which the end products continue to a display be transported.
Bei Sammelheftern können sinnvoller Weise zwei Heftprinzipe eingesetzt werden: Heften im Stillstand oder Heften am bewegten Produkt.For saddle stitchers, two stapling principles can usefully be used: stapling at a standstill or stapling on the moving product.
Um eine Heftung im Stillstand vorzunehmen, muss das Produkt angehalten werden. Nachteilig ist hierbei, dass das Produkt aufgrund störender Einflüsse bei der Verzögerung und der Beschleunigung der Bewegung seine Lage verändern kann. Um eine Heftung am bewegten Produkt vorzunehmen, muss die Hefteinrichtung, bestehend aus Heftschlitten und Umbiegereinrichtung, mit dem zu heftenden Produkt mitbewegt und zumindest zeitweilig auf dessen Bewegung abgestimmt werden. Der Antrieb des Sammelhefters erfolgt durch einen zentralen Elektromotor. Dabei werden die verschiedenen Baugruppen, wie die Heftvorrichtung (Heftschlitten und Umbiegereinrichtung), die Sammelkette, die Falzbogenanleger, der Trimmer (3-Schneider) und evtl. weitere Komponenten über verschiedene Getriebe und eine durchgehende Welle, eine sogenannte Königswelle, angetrieben. Mit anderen Worten, sowohl die Sammelkette, der Heftschlitten und die Heftelemente sind vermittels einer gemeinsamen Antriebswelle durch eine gemeinsame Energiequelle angetrieben, aber mit getrennten Antriebsmechanismen zur Erzeugung der verschiedenen Bewegungen versehen. Auch konventionelle Sammelhefter, welche einen mit einer Sammelkette mitlaufenden Heftschlitten nebst Heftköpfen mit daran angebrachten Heftelementen (Treiber, Bieger, Umbieger) aufweisen, beziehen die Energie für ihre Bewegungen aus einer gemeinsamen Antriebsquelle. Zur Realisierung der notwendigen Bewegung des Heftschlittens ist es erforderlich, Kurbelgetriebe zu verwenden.To stop stapling the product must be stopped. The disadvantage here is that the product due to disruptive influences during the delay and the acceleration of the movement can change its position. To a stitch on to make moving product, the stapler, consisting of stapling sled and bending device, with the product to be stapled, and at least be temporarily adjusted to its movement. The drive of the saddle stitcher is done by a central electric motor. The various assemblies, such as the stapling device (stapling carriage and bending device), the collection chain, the Folded sheet feeder, the trimmer (3-cutter) and possibly other components different gears and a continuous shaft, a so-called royal shaft, driven. In other words, both the collection chain, the saddle and the Stapling elements are by means of a common drive shaft through a common one Energy source driven, but with separate drive mechanisms to generate the different movements. Also conventional saddle stitchers, which one with a saddle chain along with a stitching chain and stitching heads attached stapling elements (driver, bender, bender) draw the energy for their movements from a common drive source. To realize the necessary movement of the tacking carriage, it is necessary to crank gear use.
Beispielsweise wird in der EP 0 956 974 A1 eine Sammelhefter mit variabler Kettenteilung
und deren Antriebsmechanismus beschrieben. Es handelt sich um einen
Antriebsmechanismus, welcher ein erstes Getriebe zum Antrieb der Vorrichtung zum
Heften der Produkte und ein zweites Getriebe zum Antrieb der Sammelkette, auf welchem
die Produkte befördert werden, aufweist. Für die beiden Getriebe ist eine
Wechseleinrichtung mit wenigstens zwei festen Übersetzungsverhältnissen vorgesehen, um
mindestens zwei Formate verarbeiten zu können. Beide Baugruppen beziehen ihre Energie
aus einer gemeinsamen Antriebskurve.For example,
Aus der EP 0 958 942 A1 ist ein Sammelhefter bekannt, welcher eine gemeinsame
Antriebsquelle für die Sammelkette und den mitlaufenden Heftschlitten aufweist.
Gleichzeitig sind ein erster Antrieb für den Heftschlittenhub und ein zweiter Antrieb für
den Hub des Biegers und den Hub des Treibers vorgesehen ist.A saddle stitcher is known from
Gemeinsame Schwierigkeit aller derartigen Sammelheftern ist, dass der Verlauf der Oszillationsbewegung des Heftschlittens, welcher vermittels eines Kurbelgetriebes realisiert wird, dem konstanten Geschwindigkeitsverlauf der Sammelkette zur Durchführung des Heftprozesses angepasst werden muss. Zur Realisation der Bewegungen kann dieses Problem mechanisch durch den Einsatz von diversen Getrieben und Kurvenscheiben, welche Energie aus einer gemeinsamen Antriebsquelle beziehen, gelöst werden. Diese rein mechanische Lösung weist jedoch wesentliche Nachteile auf: Eine starre Kopplung der Antriebe beschränkt die Variabilität der Koordination der für den Heftprozess maßgeblichen Bewegungsabläufe. Sie wirkt leistungsbegrenzend und bedeutet einen großen konstruktiven Aufwand. Ebenfalls wirkt sie sich nachteilig auf den erhöhten Umstellungsaufwand bei Veränderung der Bewegungsabläufe zueinander aus. Beispielsweise hat die für die Verarbeitung größerer Formate notwendige weitere Sammelkettenteilung eine größere Sammelkettengeschwindigkeit zur Folge. Aus einem größeren Kurbelradius des Kurbelgetriebes des Heftschlittens resultierende kritische Geschwindigkeit - bzw. Beschleunigkeitsverläufe für den Heftschlitten, wodurch es zu Schleppfehlern kommt. Durch den Einsatz einer Schwungscheibe als Rotationsenergiespeicher kann dieses Problem nicht beseitigt werden. Obendrein wird durch eine derartige Schwungscheibe ein Tippbetrieb erschwert. Ebenfalls treten dann Schwierigkeiten auf, die Maschine im Notfall sofort anzuhalten.Common difficulty of all such saddlestitchers is that the course of the Oscillating movement of the stitching carriage, which is by means of a crank mechanism is realized, the constant speed curve of the collection chain Implementation of the stitching process must be adjusted. To realize the movements can solve this problem mechanically through the use of various gears and Cam disks, which draw energy from a common drive source, solved become. However, this purely mechanical solution has significant disadvantages: rigid coupling of the drives limits the variability of the coordination of the for the Stapling process relevant movements. It limits performance and means a great deal of design effort. It also has a detrimental effect on the elevated one Changeover effort when changing the movements to each other. For example, there is another one necessary for processing larger formats Bus chain division results in a higher bus speed. From a Critical radius of the crank mechanism of the staple carriage resulting critical Speed - or acceleration curves for the staple carriage, which makes it too Following errors come. By using a flywheel as Rotational energy storage cannot solve this problem. On top of that will such a flywheel makes jogging difficult. Then also kick Difficulty stopping the machine immediately in an emergency.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine verbesserte Anpassung der Geschwindigkeitsverläufe der Sammelkettenbewegung und der Heftschlittenbewegung zu erreichen. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Sammelhefter mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.The object of the present invention is therefore to improve the adaptation Velocity curves of the collecting chain movement and the staple carriage movement to reach. This object is achieved by a saddle stitcher with the Features solved according to claim 1.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist ein Sammelhefter wenigstens einen steuerbaren Motor für das Kurbelgetriebe des Heftschlittens und einen steuerbaren Motor für die Sammelkette auf. Typischerweise sind diese Antriebsquellen Servomotoren. Durch die Verwendung eines Servomotors für das Kurbelgetriebe des Heftschlittens und der Umbiegereinrichtung wird jedoch die Zeit verkürzt, in der die Heftköpfe mit der Sammelkette gleiche Geschwindigkeit haben, in der also Heftklammern in das Produkt eingeschossen werden können. Um den Zeitraum, in welchem die Heftköpfe mit der Sammelkette in Betrag und Richtung im wesentlichen gleiche Geschwindigkeit haben, zu verlängern, ist es erforderlich, auch die Sammelkette mit einem separaten gesteuerten Motor, insbesondere einem Servomotor, zu betreiben. Die Antriebscharakteristik dieses Motors ist entsprechend auf den Antrieb des Kurbelgetriebes des Heftschlittens abgestimmt, so dass die Heftelemente das zu heftende Produkt geklemmt vom Mitnehmer der Sammelkette übernehmen, die Klammer eintreiben und umlegen und das geheftete Produkt wieder an die Mitnehmer der Sammelkette freigeben können.In a preferred embodiment, a saddle stitcher has at least one controllable motor for the crank mechanism of the stitching carriage and a controllable motor for the collection chain. Typically, these drive sources are servo motors. By the use of a servo motor for the crank mechanism of the staple carriage and the Bending device, however, shortens the time in which the stitching heads with the Collection chain have the same speed, so in the staples in the product can be shot. To the period in which the stitching heads with the Collection chain have essentially the same speed in amount and direction extend, it is necessary to also control the collection chain with a separate Motor, especially a servo motor to operate. The drive characteristic of this Motor is corresponding to the drive of the crank mechanism of the tacking carriage matched so that the stapling elements clamp the product to be stapled by the driver take over the collection chain, drive in the staple and turn it and the stapled Can release the product back to the carriers of the collection chain.
Der Motor wird zur Realisierung der Bewegung von Heftschlitten und Schwertschlitten derart angesteuert, dass in Verbindung mit einem Versatz zwischen der Phasenlage der beiden Kurbelgetriebe zueinander ein schwingungsarmer und geräuscharmer Lauf des Sammelhefters erzielt wird. Eine derartige Ansteuerung lässt sich auch als "elektronische Kurvenscheibe" beschreiben. Die Bewegung der Sammelkette wird diesem Heftschlittenmitlauf während des Heftprozesses angepasst oder synchronisiert, indem auch der zugehörige Motor verändert angesteuert wird. Damit kann in sehr einfacher Weise ein taktweise oder ataktisch veränderbarer Sammelkettenweg realisiert werden.The motor is used to realize the movement of the tack sled and sword sled controlled in such a way that in connection with an offset between the phase position of the two crank mechanisms to each other a low-vibration and low-noise run of Saddle stitcher is achieved. Such a control can also be called "electronic Describe cam ". The movement of the collection chain is this Staple carriage idle adjusted or synchronized by the stapling process the associated motor is controlled changed. This can be done in a very simple manner tactile or atactically changeable collection chain path can be realized.
Es ist ebenfalls möglich für die Zeiträume einzelner Maschinentakte unterschiedliche, an jedem Taktende zu einer gemeinsamen Anfangsbedingung zurückkehrende Bewegungsabläufe der Baugruppen vorzugeben. Dabei kann insbesondere der Heftschlittenmitlauf und die Bewegung der Sammelkette, und die Hefthubeinrichtung derart synchronisiert werden, dass für einzelne benachbarte Takte unterschiedliche Zeitpunkte, an denen Produkt und Heftschlitten in Betrag und Richtung gleiche Geschwindigkeit haben, vorgesehen werden, so dass eine Heftung an unterschiedlichen Positionen am Produkt vorgenommen werden kann. Typischerweise wird ein Supertakt vorgegeben, der aus zwei oder mehreren Maschinentakten besteht, in welchem in jedem einzelnen Maschinentakt an einer anderen Position geheftet wird. Dieser Supertakt wird während des Maschinenlaufs iteriert. Damit kann eine sogenannte versetzten Heftung der Produkte erreicht werden.It is also possible for the periods of individual machine cycles to differ each clock end returning to a common starting condition Specify motion sequences of the assemblies. In particular, the Stapler carriage and the movement of the collection chain, and the stapler be synchronized in such a way that different ones for individual neighboring clocks Points in time at which the product and the carriage are the same in amount and direction Speed must be provided, so that a stitch at different Positions on the product can be made. Typically a super beat given that consists of two or more machine cycles, in each of which individual machine cycle is tacked to a different position. This super beat will iterates while the machine is running. A so-called offset stitching of the Products can be achieved.
In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung weist ein Sammelhefter, neben den genannten Antriebsquellen für den Heftschlitten und die Sammelkette weitere steuerbare Motoren für wenigstens eine der Baugruppen der Hefthubeinrichtung, der Auslage und des Auswerfers auf. In an advantageous development of the invention, a saddle stitcher, in addition to the mentioned drive sources for the staple carriage and the collection chain further controllable Motors for at least one of the assemblies of the stapling device, the delivery and the Ejector on.
Die Verwendung eines steuerbaren Motors für die Hefthubeinrichtung und die daran befestigten Heftelemente (Treiber, Bieger, Umbieger) ermöglicht sowohl eine Unterbrechung, beispielsweise taktweises Anhalten im oberen Totpunkt, als auch einen variablen Hefthubverlauf, um insbesondere ein schnelleres Wegbewegen der Heftelemente vom Produkt bei Ringösenheftung zu realisieren. Ein weiterer steuerbarer Motor für die Abzugselemente der Auslage und ein weiterer steuerbarer Motor des Auswerfers, welcher die Produkte in die Auslage hinein befördert, können je nach zu verarbeitenden Format und Taktzahl aufeinander abgestimmt werden. Es kann also eine Synchronisation der Bewegung der separat angetriebenen Baugruppen der Auslage und des Auswerfers derart stattfinden, dass unabhängig von der Maschinentaktzahl gleiche Übergabebedingungen, insbesondere für Position und Geschwindigkeit, für das oder die Produkte entstehen. Eine typische Abstimmung besteht darin, dass zum Zeitpunkt der Übernahme des Produktes vom Auswerfer die Geschwindigkeit der Abzugselemente der Auslage mit der Geschwindigkeit des vom Auswerfers ausgeworfenen Produktes übereinstimmt oder dieser angenähert ist. Dadurch wird eine Relativbewegung zwischen Produkt und Abzugselement vermieden oder minimiert. Dadurch wird eine schonende Verarbeitung des Produktes erreicht, Markierungen auf dem Produkt oder Beschädigungen des Produktes können nicht entstehen, insbesondere wird ein Ausreißen des Umschlags bzw. des äußeren Bogens an den Heftklammern vermieden. Bei höheren Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten kann eine Auswerfbewegung mit Vorhalt realisiert werden, so dass eine genaue Positionierung des Produktes in der Auslage möglich wird. Weiterhin können die Abzugselemente der Auslage so gesteuert werden, dass das Produkt möglichst schnell aus dem Bereich des Auswerfers transportiert wird, um ein Auflaufen des nachfolgenden Produktes zu vermeiden. Dadurch kann insbesondere bei Produkten mit großer Bogenbreite eine höhere Taktzahl erreicht werden. Der Einsatz der genannten einzelnen steuerbaren Motoren der Sammelhefter sind sowohl für die beschriebene vorteilhafte Ausführungsform als auch für deren Weiterbildungen Voraussetzung für eine automatische Voreinstellung.The use of a controllable motor for and on the stapler attached stapling elements (driver, bender, bender) enables both Interruption, for example, cyclical stopping at top dead center, as well as one variable stapling stroke, in particular to move the stapling elements away faster to be realized by the product with eyelet stitching. Another controllable motor for the Trigger elements of the delivery and another controllable motor of the ejector, which Depending on the format and to be processed, the products can be conveyed into the delivery The number of cycles can be coordinated. So there can be a synchronization of the Movement of the separately driven assemblies of the delivery and the ejector take place that regardless of the machine cycle number, the same transfer conditions, especially for position and speed for which the product or products are created. A Typical coordination is that at the time of taking over the product from the ejector the speed of the delivery elements of the delivery with the Speed of the product ejected by the ejector matches or this is approximated. This creates a relative movement between the product and the trigger element avoided or minimized. This ensures gentle processing of the product reached, markings on the product or damage to the product cannot arise, in particular the envelope or the outer sheet will tear out avoided the staples. At higher processing speeds, a Ejection movement can be realized with lead, so that an exact positioning of the Product in the delivery is possible. Furthermore, the trigger elements of the Delivery are controlled so that the product as quickly as possible from the area of Ejector is transported to accruing the subsequent product avoid. This can result in a higher one, especially for products with a large sheet width Number of cycles can be achieved. The use of the individual controllable motors mentioned Saddle stitchers are for both the described advantageous embodiment and for their further training is a prerequisite for automatic presetting.
Die Steuerungseinheiten sind sowohl für die bevorzugte Ausführungsform als auch für vorteilhafte Weiterbildung derselben typischerweise derart ausgebildet, dass die Motoren vermittels mit Motorcontrollern und Motorsteuerungsendstufen versehen sind, wobei wenigstens eine derselben mit Anzeige und Bedienstelle eingerichtet ist. Insbesondere wird dieses unter Verwendung moderner Rechentechnik, wie Mikroprozessoren, Verbindung zum Austausch von Daten- und Steuerungssignalen, Speichermedien und/oder Ein- und Ausgabeeinheiten, realisiert. Es ist vorgesehen, dass Mittel zur Erfassung der Drehposition und/oder Drehzahl eingesetzt werden. Vorteilhafterweise weisen die Steuereinheiten der Motoren eine zentrale Steuerung auf.The control units are both for the preferred embodiment and for advantageous development of the same is typically designed such that the motors are provided by means of motor controllers and motor control output stages, whereby at least one of them is equipped with a display and control point. In particular this using modern computing technology, such as microprocessors, connection for the exchange of data and control signals, storage media and / or input and Output units, realized. It is provided that means for detecting the rotational position and / or speed are used. The control units advantageously have the Motors a central control.

Ein repräsentatives Beispiel für einen Sammelhefter mit getrennten Antrieben wird in
Fig. 1 gezeigt. Ein Antriebsmotor M1 treibt vermittels einer Kurbel 1 und der
Kurbelstange 2 den Heftschlitten 3 an, welcher auf einer Schubgeraden 4 gelagert ist.

Herbewegung des Schwertschlittens 7 entlang der Schubgeraden 8 ermöglicht. Der
Antriebsmotor M2 ist für die Sammelkette vorgesehen. Vermittels des Zahnriemenrads 9,
des Zahnriemens 10, des Zahnriemenrads 11 und des Kettenrades 12 wird die
Sammelkette 13 angetrieben. Es ist vorgesehen, diese beiden Motoren M1 und M2 derart
anzusteuern, dass die Bewegungen des Heftschlittens B 1 und der Sammelkette B2
aufeinander abgestimmt oder synchronisiert sind. Dazu wird der für den Heftprozess
notwendige Geschwindigkeitsverlauf der Bewegungen der Heftelemente und der
Sammelkette B2 aneinander angepasst: Wie bereits erwähnt, wird dabei der Zeitraum, in
welchem die Heftköpfe und die Sammelkette in Betrag und Richtung im wesentlichen
gleiche Geschwindigkeit haben, möglichst groß gewählt.A representative example of a saddle stitcher with separate drives is given in
Fig. 1 shown. A drive motor M1 drives by means of a crank 1 and
Da der Geschwindigkeitsverlauf der Sammelkette B 1 quasi konstant ist, ist es prinzipiell
möglich, den entsprechenden Motor M2 als Antriebsquelle für die weiteren erforderlichen
Bewegungen zu nutzen. In vorteilhafter Weise wird aber auch für die
Hefthubeinrichtung B3 ein weiterer Motor M3 vorgesehen, damit vermittels einer
entsprechenden Steuerung ein variabler Hefthubverlauf oder eine Heftunterbrechung
ermöglicht wird. Vermittels des Getriebes 14, des Zahnriemenrads 15, des
Zahnriemens 16, des Zahnriemenrads 17, der Kurvenscheiben 18 und 19, des Hebels 20
und der Zugstangen 21 werden die Schieber 22, 23 bewegt.Since the speed curve of the collection chain B 1 is quasi constant, it is in principle
possible to use the corresponding motor M2 as a drive source for the other
To use movements. It is also advantageous for

appropriate control a variable book stroke or a book break
is made possible. By means of the
Der Antriebsmotor M4 ist für die Auslage B4 vorgesehen. Mit Hilfe des Antriebsmotors M5 für den Auswerfer B5 wird die Vertikalbewegung des Auswerferschwertes realisiert.
