Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for the optional transfer of flexible flat products, especially printed products such as newspapers, Magazines, envelopes and the like, from a along a first conveyor transported scale formation on a branching off from the first conveying path second funding route according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a device of this type is known from EP-A-0 478 911 and the corresponding US-A-5,195,741 known and corresponds to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the first conveying path of this device is through a belt conveyor determines whose active run to form a falling step S-shaped is guided around deflection rollers. From each product - printed products - the in Scale formation by means of products transported by the belt conveyor when crossing the step - due to the inherent rigidity of the products - the previous one Edge and an adjoining edge area are exposed.
  • a one Defining the second conveyor path has two consecutive, conveyor arms articulated to one another and designed as belt conveyors on.
  • This conveyor arm pair is stationary pivoted and the upstream end is for releasing Products from the scale formation in a working position adjacent to the level and to finish releasing into a retreat position further from the step be brought.
  • the second conveyor detects when moving in the working position the product with its exposed leading edge area protrudes above the step. This and any subsequent products are transported further along the second conveyor path. With moving the upstream end of the second conveyor to the retreat position the last registered product is removed from the next product, so that this and the following products in the scale formation along the the first funding route.
  • the device according to the invention enables the first conveyor to be designed, Without a permanent step, which ensures a quiet run for the in Shed formation transported flexible flat products can be guaranteed can.
  • the first conveying path for exposing the leading edge and the adjoining edge area of the respective first product to be fed to the second conveying path can be changed.
  • Preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention are in the dependent Claims specified.
  • the device shown in the drawing has a first conveyor path 10 defining first conveyor 12. This is intended in one Scale formation S resulting flexible flat products 14, in the present Case newspapers to be transported in the conveying direction F. The device is proper also for the processing of other printed products, such as magazines, envelopes and the same.
  • a branch point 16 branches off from the first conveying path 10 second conveyor path 18, which is determined by a second conveyor device 20 is.
  • each product 14 lies on top of the respective one leading product.
  • the first conveyor 12 is at the branch point 16 an exposure device 22 is assigned, which is intended to the leading Edge 24 - in the present case the folded edge of the folded printed product - and an adjoining edge area 24 'of the first of the second Exposing conveyor 20 to be fed product 14.
  • the first conveyor device 12 has two series-connected devices Belt conveyors 26, 28 on the guide element which is in the rest position 30 32 of the exposure device 22 - see FIG. 1 - a conveying plane with a define straight first conveyor path 10.
  • the first belt conveyor 26 has a conveyor belt 34 at the downstream end at the branch point 16 around a driven roller 36 is guided. This forms a second guide element 32 ' the exposure device 22.
  • the upper active run 34 'of the conveyor belt 34 runs below the guide element 32, which is also designed as a roller 38 is. Viewed in the direction of conveyance F, the axis 38 'of the roller 38 is located upstream of the axis 36 'of the roller 36.
  • roller 38 is a hold-down belt 40, the active strand 40 'together with the active run 34 'of the conveyor belt 34 a conveyor gap 42 for the formation of scale S forms and its back strand 40 "by a length that can be changed Loop-forming length compensation device is guided.
  • upstream end of the first belt conveyor 26 is both the conveyor belt 34 and the hold-down belt 40 are guided around corresponding rollers.
  • the exposure device 22 consists of the two formed by the rollers 36, 38 Guide elements 32, 32 'and a drive element 46 - in the present case a cylinder-piston unit - for moving the roller 38 from the one in FIG. 1 rest position 30 shown in an exposed position 30 'shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and back again.
  • a cylinder-piston unit - for moving the roller 38 from the one in FIG. 1 rest position 30 shown in an exposed position 30 'shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 and back again.
  • the change in Length of the active run 40 ′ of the hold-down belt 40 when the roller 38 is moved is by pivoting the spring-loaded lever of the length compensation device 44 compensated. To compensate for the corresponding changes in length of the conveyor belt 34, this is formed from rubber-elastic material.
  • the roller 38 is mounted on both sides of a tab 48, which on the other hand on the Roller 36 supporting shaft is freely pivoted.
  • the axis 38 'of the roller 38 thus moves along a portion of a circular trajectory 38 " about the axis 36 'of the roller 36.
  • the second conveyor device 20 has one above the second belt conveyor 28 arranged third belt conveyor 50 and a directly upstream of this Transfer conveyor 52 on.
  • the latter becomes a conveyor gap by two 54 forming ribbon conveyors 56, 58 formed, each two articulated with each other connected conveyor arms 60, 60 'and 62, 62'.
  • the third belt conveyor 50 directly upstream first conveyor arms 60, 62 are effective in conveying End pivotally supported one above the other in such a way that the conveyor gap 54 opens out at the level of the upper run of the third belt conveyor 50, the third product 14 transported by means of the transfer conveyor 52 To feed belt conveyor 50.
  • the upstream second conveyor arms 60 ', 62' At the free end of the first conveyor arms 60, 62 are the upstream second conveyor arms 60 ', 62', whose upstream located free end 64 by means of the drive element 46 of one in FIG. 1 retreat position 66 shown in a working position 66 'closer to the exposure device 22 and can be moved back again; compare FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a tab-like bearing plate 70 is assigned to each of the conveyor arms 60, 60 'and 62, 62', bearing plates 70 of each ribbon conveyor 56 and 58 with one another are articulated. This joint connection also serves for storage of deflection rolls 72.
  • the downstream feed arms 60, 62 associated bearing plates 70 are pivotally mounted at the fixed bearing points, on which the deflection rollers 74 are mounted on the third belt conveyor 50.
  • a Diameter of the smaller deflection roller 76 is freely rotatable.
  • the tapes 78 run with its upper active run from the small deflection roller 76 to the deflection roller 72, to the deflection roller 74 at the third belt conveyor 50 and around a deflection roller 80 back to the small guide roller 76.
  • the guide roller 80 is arranged below the deflection roller 72 and on a protruding from the bearing plate 70 Boom mounted.
  • a small at the corners of a triangle Deflection roller 82 is freely rotatable. Two of these small deflection rollers 82 are located seen in view, on both sides of the end shield 70 and one approximately in the straight extension of the end shield 70 at the free end of the plate 70 '.
  • the the lower active run of the tapes 78 ' runs from the one arranged at the free end small deflection roller 82, around the ribbon conveyor 58 below small deflection roller 82, and around the deflection roller 72 of this ribbon conveyor 58 to the downstream deflection roller 74.
  • the back run runs from this around the deflection roller 72 and around the upper small one Deflection roller 82 back to that at the free end.
  • the drive element 46 drives controlling device.
  • rollers 36 and 38 are spaced apart from one another to such an extent that they have no nip form for the products 14 conveyed through. This allows the second conveyor path 18 supplied product 14 easily under the following Pull products 14 away because of the interaction of the active Trums 34 'with the roller 38 is retained.
  • rollers 36 and 38 it is also conceivable to make both rollers 36 and 38 movable, to adjust the direction of the outlet of the first belt conveyor 26 can.
  • the exposure device 22 it is not necessary for the exposure device 22 to be located downstream End of a belt conveyor is arranged. It can also be in the middle of the active Runs can be arranged, with a guide element 32 'below and that another 32 is located above the active run.
