Abstract

A conveyor feeds the overlapping printed sheets (3) at right angles to a stack-support (17,22). A controllable push-in appliance belonging to the stack-support designed for stacking, forms the length of a stack by means of end plates (31) adjustable between support elements (28,29) and stacks (2). The push-in appliance is in the form of an insertion appliance (60) belonging to the front and back stack ends and possessing passages for the passing support elements and driven at right angles to the stack-support. The insertion appliance inserts the end plates against the stack-ends, and is formed of two parallel holder-plates (32,33) holding at least one end plate in the at least one intermediate space.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zur Bildung eines Stapels aneinandergereihter Druckbogen, bestehend aus einer die Druckbogen in einer Schuppenformation senkrecht einer Stapelauflage zuführenden Fördervorrichtung und einer der zur Stapelbildung vorgesehenen Stapelauflage zugeordneten, die Länge eines Stapels durch endseitig zwischen Stützelementen und Stapel zustellbare Endplatten bildende, steuerbare Einschubvorrichtung.The invention relates to a device for forming a stack lined up printed sheet consisting of a die Printing sheets in a scale formation perpendicular to a stacking support feeding conveyor and one of the stacks provided stacking pad assigned to the length of a stack by the end between support elements and stack controllable insertion device forming deliverable end plates.

Auf diese Art hergestellte Stapel werden im Fachjargon auch Stangen und die dazu benutzte Einrichtung als Stangenausleger bezeichnet. Die gepressten und umreiften Stangen werden üblicherweise vorerst zwischengelagert und gelangen sodann zur Vereinzelung der Druckbogen zu einem Anleger, der zur Beschickung einer Verarbeitungsstrecke mit den Druckbogen vorgesehen ist.Stacks made in this way are also used in technical jargon Poles and the equipment used as a pole boom designated. The pressed and strapped bars are usually temporarily stored and then arrive at Separation of the printed sheets to a feeder for loading a processing line provided with the printed sheets is.

Eine Einrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art ist in der CH - A - 663 397 offenbart. Die vornehmlich zum Schutz gegen Beschädigungen der endseitigen Druckbogen von Hand einzulegenden Endplatten verlangen eine hundertprozentige Präsenzzeit einer Bedienungsperson, die sich in hohem Mass auf ein korrektes Einstecken der Endplatten zwischen dem gebildeten Stapel und die diesen endseitig stützenden Stützelemente konzentriert. Eine Ueberwachung des Papierflusses im Zuführbereich und des Abpressens der Stapel vor der Auslage wird durch die für den manuellen Einschub der Endplatten erforderlichen Arbeitszeit erheblich eingeschränkt und auch das Bereitstellen der Endplatten lässt sich mit einer Bedienungsperson während dem Betrieb der Einrichtung kaum bewerkstelligen.A device of the type described above is in CH - A - 663 397. The primarily to protect against damage the printed sheet to be inserted by hand End plates require a one hundred percent presence time Operator who relies heavily on a correct Insert the end plates between the stack and which concentrates these end support elements. Monitoring the paper flow in the feed area and the Pressing the stack in front of the delivery is done by the for the manual insertion of the end plates required working time considerably restricted and also the provision of the end plates can be used with an operator during operation the facility hardly manage.

Deshalb stellt sich an die vorliegende Erfindung die Aufgabe, die Beschickung der Endplatten an den Stapelenden zu automatisieren, um der Bedienungsperson die Arbeit erleichtern und ausreichend Zeit für die Ueberwachung des ablaufenden Sammelprozesses sowie der Bereitstellung der Endplatten einräumen zu können.Therefore, the object of the present invention is automate the loading of the end plates at the stack ends, to make the operator's job easier and sufficient time to monitor the ongoing collection process as well as the provision of the end plates can.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Einschubvorrichtung durch eine dem vorderen und hintern Stapelende zugeordnete, mit Durchtrittsöffnungen für die passierenden Stützelemente versehenen, senkrecht gegen die Stapelauflage antreibbaren, die Endplatten an den Stapelenden einsetzenden Einsteckvorrichtung ausgebildet ist, die wenigstens einen mit einer Endplatte beschickbaren Zwischenraum aufweist. Dadurch werden die erwähnten Nachteile weitestgehend behoben.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the Insert device through one of the front and rear end of the stack assigned, with passage openings for the passing Support elements provided, vertically against the stack support drivable, inserting the end plates at the stack ends Insert device is formed, the at least one having a gap that can be filled with an end plate. This largely eliminates the disadvantages mentioned.

Vorzugsweise ist die Einsteckvorrichtung durch wenigstens zwei parallele, eine Endplatte in einem Zwischenraum aufnehmende Halteplatten gebildet. The insertion device is preferably by at least two parallel, receiving an end plate in a space Holding plates formed.

Die Einschubvorrichtung kann zwei, jeweils einer Endplatte eines Stapels zugeordnete Zwischenräume aufweisen, sodass weniger Bewegungen der Einschubvorrichtung erforderlich sind und für den Enplatteneinschub mehr Zeit verfügbar ist.The insertion device can have two, one end plate each Stack associated gaps, so less Movements of the insertion device are required and more time is available for inserting the plate.

Es ist vorteilhaft, wenn die Einschubvorrichtung in einer gegenüber der Stapelauflage rechtwinklig versetzten Position mit Endplatten beschickbar ist, wodurch die Bereitstellung der Endplatten vereinfacht wird.It is advantageous if the insertion device is in an opposite position position of the stacking support at a right angle Endplates is feedable, thereby providing the End plates is simplified.

Es wird sich als zweckmässig erweisen, wenn die Einschubvorrichtung in einer gegenüber der Stapelauflage zurückversetzten Position mit Endplatten beschickbar ist, wodurch ein leicht zugänglicher Bereitstellungsraum entstehen kann.It will prove useful if the insertion device in a set back compared to the stack support Position can be loaded with end plates, which makes it easy accessible staging area can arise.

Die Anpassung der Endplattenzuführung an den kontinuierlichen Stapelbildungsvorgang kann optimiert werden, wenn die Einschubvorrichtung entlang der Stapelbildungsrichtung hin und her verfahrbar ist.The adaptation of the end plate feed to the continuous Stacking process can be optimized if the insertion device along the stack formation direction and can be moved here.

Vorzugsweise ist die Einschubvorrichtung oberhalb der horizontal ausgerichteten Stapelauflage angeordnet, so dass die Endplatten durch ihr Eigengewicht oder mittels Ueberführungsvorrichtung in die Einschubvorrichtung fallen bzw. versetzt werden können.The insertion device is preferably above the horizontal aligned stacking pad so that the end plates by their own weight or by means of a transfer device fall into the insertion device or be moved can.

Zweckmässig sind die Halteplatten in einem ortsfest angeordneten Gerüst parallel zur Stapelbildungsrichtung geführt, sodass ein einfacher Bewegungsantrieb verwendbar ist. The holding plates are expediently arranged in a stationary manner Scaffold guided parallel to the stack formation direction so that a simple motion drive can be used.

Um die Endplatten auf kürzestem Weg zwischen Stapel und Stützelemente in die Betriebslage versetzen zu können, ist es günstig, wenn wenigstens eine der Halteplatten mit eine oberhalb der für die durchlaufenden Stützelemente vorgesehenen Durchtrittsöffnungen in den Zwischenraum schaltbare Zurückhaltevorrichtung ausgebildet ist.Around the end plates in the shortest way between the stack and the support elements to be able to put it in the operating position, it is favorable if at least one of the holding plates with one above the passage openings provided for the continuous support elements retention device which can be switched into the intermediate space is trained.

Es erweist sich als geeignet, wenn die zur Beschickung der Endplatten vorgesehene Position als Magazin zur Stapelung und Ausgabe von Endplatten ausgebildet ist.It turns out to be suitable if the for loading the End plates provided position as a magazine for stacking and Output of end plates is formed.

Anschliessend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugsnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht näher erwähnten Einzelheiten verwiesen wird, anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine von einem Maschinengestell 10 getragene Einrichtung 1 zur Bildung eines Stapels 2 aneinandergereihter Druckbogen 3, auch Stangenausleger bezeichnet, bei der die Druckbogen 3 von der rechten Seite über Förderbänder 4 bis 8 falzvoran vorerst durch eine Pressvorrichtung 9, aus zwei übereinanderliegenden Presswalzen gebildet, zum Abpressen der Falze geführt werden. Dabei werden die Druckbogen 3 in einer geschuppten Formation transportiert, in der der jeweils nachfolgende Druckbogen 3 auf dem vorauslaufenden teilweise aufliegt (siehe Schuppenlage auf Förderband 6). Eine solche Schuppenformation kann beispielsweise an der Auslage einer Druckmaschine übernommen werden. Nach der Pressvorrichtung 9 erreichen die Druckbogen 3 im weiterhin geschuppten Zustand einen etwa senkrecht ansteigenden Förderabschnitt 11, der durch die Förderbänder 12, 13 gebildet wird. Auf dem Förderabschnitt 11 sind die Druckbogen 3 zwischen den Förderbändern 12, 13 eingespannt, die gemeinsam um die Rollen 14, 15 umlaufen. Förderband 12 läuft nach der Rolle 15 um die Gegenrolle 16 über weitere Rollen um die Achse der unteren Presswalze der Pressvorrichtung 9 an die Rolle 14 zurück; Förderband 13 läuft um die Rollen 14, 15 um und wird nach Verlassen der Rolle 15 von der Förderbahn der Druckbogen 3 abgelenkt. Derartige Fördereinrichtungen sind beispielsweise aus der CH - A - 663 397 bekannt und die Druckbogen 3 könnten wie in der EP - A - 0 623 542 offenbart oberschlächtig zugeführt werden. Nach einer 180° Umlenkung am Förderende des Förderabschnittes 11 werden die Druckbogen 3 an einen gleichartigen, senkrecht gegen eine Stapelauflage 17 gerichteten Förderer 18 abgegeben. Dieser weist einen aus zwei parallelen Trums zweier Förderbänder 19, 20 gebildeten Förderkanal 21 auf, der über dem sich bildenden Stapel 2 endet und durch den letzten auf der Stapelauflage 17, 22 eintreffenden Druckbogen 3 fortgesetzt wird. Die Funktionsweise des Förderkanals 21 ist ebenfalls in den oben genannten Druckschriften beschrieben.
Die vorgesehenen Stapelauflagen 17, 22 sind an zwei aus umlaufenden Kettenpaaren gebildeten Zugorganen befestigt, von denen eines mit 24 bezeichnet ist. Jedem Zugorgan ist ein steuerbarer Antriebsmotor (nicht ersichtlich) zugeordnet, sodass beispielsweise während der Stapelbildung eine reduzierte Geschwindigkeit der Stapelauflagen 17, 22 gefahren werden kann. Die Stapelauflagen 17, 22 sind aus querverlaufenden aneinandergereihten Leisten 23 gebildet und bezüglich der oberen Trums der Zugorgane auf Führungsschienen abgestützt.
Die Zugorgane laufen um Umlenkrollen 25, 26, die in Stapelbildungsrichtung betrachtet vor dem Einlauf des Schuppenstromes auf die Stapelauflagen und hinter einer nachgeschalteten Stapelpresse 27 angeordnet sind. Die Stapelauflagen 17, 22 weisen an den paarweise Enden angeordnete Stützelemente 28, 29 auf, zwischen denen ein Stapel 2 jeweils gebildet und transportiert wird. Bei Beginn einer Stapelbildung liegen die hinteren Stützelemente 29 einer Stapelauflage 17, 22 an den vorderen Stützelementen 28 einer nachfolgenden Stapelauflage 17, 22 an und bilden so eine Stapeltrennung beim Durchlaufen des Förderkanals 21. Auf dem weiteren Weg passiert der vollendete Stapel 2, nachdem er sich von dem nachfolgenden Stapel 2 mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit abgesetzt hat, eine steuerbare Einschubvorrichtung 30, mit welcher dem zwischen den Stützelementen 28, 29 einer Stapelauflage 17, 22 und dem Stapel 2 die Endkanten des Stapels 2 gegen Beschädigungen schützende Endplatten 31 eingeschoben werden. Die Einschubvorrichtung 30 besteht aus zwei parallelen, voneinander, einen Zwischenraum für wenigstens eine Endplatte 31 bildend, beabstandete Halteplatten 32, 33. Diese weisen am unteren Ende schlitzartige Durchtrittsöffnungen 38 auf, durch die die Stützelemente 28, 29 zum Zusammenpressen der gestapelten Druckbogen 3 durchtreten können.
Zu den Fig. 2a bis 2f wird anschliessend der Endplatteneinschub bei dem Stapelbildungsvorgang beschrieben. In Fig. 2a hat der sich bildende Stapel 2 eine gewisse Länge erreicht und nähert sich mit dem vorderen Ende, das durch ein Stützelementepaar 28 gebildet wird, der bereitstehenden Einschubvorrichtung 30, welcher zuvor eine Endplatte 31 aus einem darüber angeordneten Magazin 34 zugeführt wurde. Aufgrund der gewählten Stapellänge oder der Stapelgeschwindigkeit legt die Einschubvorrichtung 30 seit der Aufnahme der Endplatte 31 einen längeren oder kürzeren Weg zurück, bis sie die veranschaulichte Position erreicht hat. Selbstverständlich könnte auf Kosten der Zykluszeit und allenfalls der Qualität die Einschubvorrichtung 30 auf kürzeren Wegen oder im Stillstand betrieben bzw. die Endplatten eingesteckt werden. In der dargestellten Situation befindet sich die Einschubvorrichtung 30 kurz davor, die Endplatte 31 zwischen Vorderseite des Stapels 2 und Stützelemente 28 einzusetzen. Hierzu ist die Endplatte 31 in einer Höhe über den Stützelementen 28 in der Einschubvorrichtung 30 gefangen, wozu eine Rückhaltevorrichtung 35 vorgesehen ist. Zur Hin- und Herbewegung der Einschubvorrichtung 30 in horizontaler Richtung bzw. parallel zur Stapelbildungsrichtung ist eine mit 36 bezeichnete Führungsanordnung eingerichtet, die in Fig. 3 ausführlicher erkennbar ist. Die Höhenverstellung der Halteplatten 32, 33 erfolgt über eine pneumatische Betätigungsvorrichtung 37 die in der Fig. 3 ersichtlich ist. Die angegebenen Mittel erlauben es, dass die Einschubvorrichtung 30 auf dem rationell kürzesten Weg zur Unterführung der Endplatten 31 und zur Rückstellung verfahren werden kann.
Eine Einschubvorrichtung 30, mit der zwei Endplatten 31 aufgenommen werden können, könnte ein Hin- und Rückweg zur Stapelauflage 17, 22 resp. zum Magazin 34 eingespart werden. Es wäre somit möglich, die Einschubvorrichtung 30 mit einem Zwischenraum für eine oder zwei Endplatten 31 oder für zwei Endplatten 31 in getrennten Zwischenräumen auszubilden.
In Fig. 2b ist die in der Einschubvorrichtung 30 geladene Endplatte 31 abgerenkt und durch Zurückdrängen des vorderen Endes des Stapels 2 durch die Halteplatte 32 der Einschubvorrichtung 30 hinter die Stützelemente 28 in eine Lage versetzt worden, in der sie vorerst lose in dem durch die Halteplatten 32, 33 gebildeten Zwischenraum sitzt.
Fig. 2c zeigt den weiteren Schritt, wo die Einschubvorrichtung 30 ausgehoben und die Endplatte 31 durch Expansion des Stapels 2 zwischen diesem und den Stützelementen 28 eingeklemmt ist. Die Einschubvorrichtung 30 hat bereits eine andere Endplatte 31 aufgenommen, die für das rückwärtige Ende des Stapels 2 vorgesehen ist. Es bestünde die Möglichkeit, die Einschubvorrichtung 30 mit zwei Zwischenräumen resp. so auszubilden, dass sie zwei Endplatten 31 aufnehmen und diese nacheinander an den Enden eines Stapels 2 platzieren kann. Gemäss Fig. 2d hat der Stapel 2 mit seinem hinteren Ende, das durch Stützelemente 29 bestimmt ist, etwa die Einschubposition erreicht; ebenso die Einschubvorrichtung 30.
Nun wird die Einschubvorrichtung 30 schneller als der Stapel 2 in Fortbewegungsrichtung angetrieben, so dass umgehend die Position gemäss Fig. 2e erreicht wird. In dieser Position ist das hintere Stapelende vorgeschoben, derart, dass zwischen diesem und dem nachfolgenden Stützelement 29 eine Lücke entsteht, in die die Endplatte 31 von oben nach unten bzw. aus der Rückhalteposition in der Einschubvorrichtung 30 eingesetzt wird. In Fig. 2e ist Rückhaltevorrichtung 35 bereits ausser Betrieb und die Endplatte 31 steht auf der Stapelauflage 17 auf. 1 shows a device 1 carried by a machine frame 10 for forming a stack 2 of printed sheets 3 strung together, also referred to as bar delivery, in which the printed sheets 3 are folded from the right side via conveyor belts 4 to 8 initially by a pressing device 9, consisting of two superimposed ones Press rolls formed to be guided to press the folds. The printing sheets 3 are transported in a shingled formation, in which the following printing sheet 3 partially rests on the preceding one (see scale position on conveyor belt 6). Such a scale formation can be adopted, for example, on the delivery of a printing press. After the pressing device 9, the printed sheets 3, in the still scaled state, reach an approximately vertically rising conveyor section 11, which is formed by the conveyor belts 12, 13. On the conveyor section 11, the printed sheets 3 are clamped between the conveyor belts 12, 13, which rotate together around the rollers 14, 15. After the roller 15, the conveyor belt 12 runs around the counter roller 16 via further rollers about the axis of the lower press roller of the pressing device 9 to the roller 14; Conveyor belt 13 runs around the rollers 14, 15 and is deflected from the conveyor path of the printed sheets 3 after leaving the roller 15. Such conveyors are known, for example, from CH-A-663 397 and the printed sheets 3 could, as disclosed in EP-A-0 623 542, be fed in oversized. After a 180 ° deflection at the conveying end of the conveying section 11, the printed sheets 3 are delivered to a similar conveyor 18 directed perpendicularly against a stacking support 17. This has a conveyor channel 21 formed from two parallel runs of two conveyor belts 19, 20, which ends above the stack 2 being formed and is continued by the last printed sheet 3 arriving on the stack support 17, 22. The operation of the conveyor channel 21 is also described in the above-mentioned publications.
The stack supports 17, 22 provided are attached to two traction elements formed from rotating pairs of chains, one of which is designated by 24. A controllable drive motor (not shown) is assigned to each traction element, so that, for example, a reduced speed of the stack supports 17, 22 can be driven during the stack formation. The stack supports 17, 22 are formed from transversely running strips 23 and are supported on guide rails with respect to the upper runs of the traction elements.
The traction elements run around deflection rollers 25, 26 which, viewed in the direction of stack formation, are arranged before the infeed of the shingled stream onto the stack supports and behind a downstream stack press 27. The stack supports 17, 22 have support elements 28, 29 arranged at the ends in pairs, between which a stack 2 is in each case formed and transported. At the start of a stack formation, the rear support elements 29 of a stack support 17, 22 abut the front support elements 28 of a subsequent stack support 17, 22 and thus form a stack separation when passing through the conveying channel 21. On the further path, the completed stack 2 passes after it has passed has set off from the subsequent stack 2 at an increased speed, a controllable insertion device 30, with which the end edges of the stack 2, which protect against damage, are inserted between the support elements 28, 29 of a stack support 17, 22 and the stack 2. The insertion device 30 consists of two parallel holding plates 32, 33, spaced apart from one another, forming an intermediate space for at least one end plate 31. These have slit-like passage openings 38 at the lower end through which the support elements 28, 29 can pass for pressing the stacked printed sheets 3 together ,
2a to 2f, the end plate insertion during the stacking process is described. 2a, the stack 2 which has formed has reached a certain length and, with the front end, which is formed by a pair of support elements 28, approaches the ready-to-insert device 30, to which an end plate 31 has previously been fed from a magazine 34 arranged above it. Due to the selected stack length or the stack speed, the insertion device 30 has covered a longer or shorter path since the end plate 31 was received until it has reached the illustrated position. Of course, at the expense of the cycle time and possibly the quality, the insertion device 30 could be operated on shorter paths or at a standstill, or the end plates could be inserted. In the situation shown, the insertion device 30 is close to inserting the end plate 31 between the front of the stack 2 and the support elements 28. For this purpose, the end plate 31 is caught at a height above the support elements 28 in the insertion device 30, for which purpose a retaining device 35 is provided. For the to-and-fro movement of the insertion device 30 in the horizontal direction or parallel to the stack formation direction, a guide arrangement designated 36 is set up, which can be seen in more detail in FIG. 3. The height adjustment of the holding plates 32, 33 takes place via a pneumatic actuating device 37 which can be seen in FIG. 3. The specified means allow the insertion device 30 to be moved along the rationally shortest route to underpass the end plates 31 and to reset them.
An insertion device 30, with which two end plates 31 can be received, could be a return path to the stacking support 17, 22 or. saved to magazine 34. It would thus be possible to design the insertion device 30 with a space for one or two end plates 31 or for two end plates 31 in separate spaces.
2b, the end plate 31 loaded in the insertion device 30 is deflected and, by pushing back the front end of the stack 2 through the holding plate 32 of the insertion device 30, has been placed behind the support elements 28 in a position in which it is initially loosely in that by the holding plates 32, 33 formed space sits.
2c shows the further step, where the insertion device 30 is lifted and the end plate 31 is clamped between the stack and the support elements 28 by expansion of the stack 2. The insertion device 30 has already received another end plate 31, which is provided for the rear end of the stack 2. It would be possible to insert the insert device 30 with two spaces. to be designed such that they receive two end plates 31 and can place these one after the other at the ends of a stack 2. According to FIG. 2d, the stack 2 has reached approximately the insertion position with its rear end, which is determined by support elements 29; likewise the insertion device 30.
Now the insertion device 30 is driven faster than the stack 2 in the direction of travel, so that the position according to FIG. 2e is reached immediately. In this position, the rear end of the stack is advanced such that there is a gap between it and the subsequent support element 29, into which the end plate 31 is inserted from top to bottom or from the retention position in the insertion device 30. 2e, the restraint device 35 is already out of operation and the end plate 31 stands on the stacking support 17.

In Fig. 2f hat sich die Einschubvorrichtung 30 vom hinteren Stapelende des Stapels 2 entfernt und auch schon eine Endplatte 31 für den nächsten Stapel 2, der in einem bestimmten Abstand folgt, aus dem Magazin 34 abgeholt. Hierbei ist die Rückhaltevorrichtung 35 in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Halteplatten 32, 33 geschaltet und hält die Endplatte 31 in einer angehobenen Position über den Durchtrittsöffnungen, so dass die vorderen Stützelemente 28 des neuen Stapels 2 für das Einsetzen der Endplatte 31 durch die Halteplatten 32, 33 durchfahren können, wie in den Fig. 2a und 2b dargestellt.In Fig. 2f, the insertion device 30 is from the rear End of stack of stack 2 removed and already an end plate 31 for the next stack 2, which is at a certain distance follows, picked up from magazine 34. Here is the Retaining device 35 in the space between the holding plates 32, 33 switched and holds the end plate 31 in one raised position above the passage openings so that the front support members 28 of the new stack 2 for insertion drive through the end plate 31 through the holding plates 32, 33 can, as shown in Figs. 2a and 2b.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Einschubvorrichtung 30 detaillierter als in den Fig. 1 und 2a bis 2f veranschaulicht.
