- Such a device is e.g. from US-4,157,692.
- Such a separation device is known for example from US 3,988,016.
- This document describes a high speed paper inserter for inserting inserts in newspapers.
- the inserts are arranged to form a stack and a vacuum gripper grips the lowermost insert to be loaded from the stack and carries it to a pair of rollers which passes the insert to an opened newspaper.
- a single sheet requires a different suction stroke than an insert of 120 pages or a pre-set partial product.
- the various suction drive requirements arise from the manner in which the sheets or part products must be arranged and controlled for proper separation.
- the bottom of the stack is held by a platform, a so-called signature table with a recess that allows a sucker to pull a single product from the bottom of the product stack. If the nipple does not contact the product stack, the stack is held by a movable hook.
- an apparatus for separating flat products from a stack of flat products is provided with a plurality of needles arranged in at least one group of needles. Furthermore, at least one needle block is provided for fastening the needles, wherein each needle group is associated with a needle block.
- the needle block and the needle group can be moved from a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, the needles hold the bottom of a stack of flat products.
- an adjusting device for adjusting the position of each needle group is provided in each case.
- a plurality of needle blocks and groups of needles are provided.
- FIGS. 1, 2, 1a and 2a show schematic side views of a sheet separating device according to the invention.

Sometimes it may be useful to set more than one or a group of needles simultaneously by arranging the needles in groups with an associated needle block and array. The number of needles in each group may depend on the particular requirements; in the number shown is only an exemplary representation.
- the group adjuster may be an adjuster of a number of adjusters that may be used for this purpose. It can e.g. a suitable threaded nut and screw arrangement, so that the rotation of one or the other of the mating threading devices, the movement of the group of needles in relation to the stationary block and the end plate is performed. For this purpose, it may be useful to carry out the adjustment of the group of screws by the control arm, so that the needles can be adjusted remotely, and perhaps even during operation of the press or maintenance time. Such a type of arrangement could be considered as an automatic or remote type of adjustment of the needles or groups of needles. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, many variations of the concepts presented herein are possible and will be considered in the description. For example, the adjuster may be remotely controlled by a controller having an electronic interface that controls a mechanical drive element as shown in FIG.
Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Trennen von flachen Produkten von einem Stapel aus flachen Produkten gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a device for separating flat products from a stack of flat products according to the preamble of
Eine solche Vorrichtung ist z.B. aus US-4,157,692 bekannt.Such a device is e.g. from US-4,157,692.
Bei der Herstellung von Büchern, einschließlich Broschüren, Zeitschriften, Magazinen und ähnlichem ist die Verwendung von Zusammentragsystemen bekannt. Diese Systeme weisen üblicherweise eine Transportvorrichtung auf, auf der einzelne flache Produkte wie Signaturen oder Bogen zu einem Buchblock gesammelt werden, der dann bearbeitet und gebunden wird. Üblicherweise ist eine Reihe von Zuführvorrichtungen entlang der Transportvorrichtung angeordnet, so dass mit jeder Zuführvorrichtung ein einzelnes flaches Produkt aus einem Stapel von Produkten auf die Transportvorrichtung gefördert werden kann. Dadurch wird nach und nach ein Buchblock geschaffen oder ein zusätzlicher Bogen in eine Tasche einer Taschenzuführvorrichtung oder in eine Zeitung, die in der Tasche angeordnet ist, eingelegt. Solche Zuführvorrichtungen verwenden üblicherweise eine Trennvorrichtung zum Trennen eines Produkts aus dem Stapel von flachen Produkten, der in jedem Magazin der Zuführvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Die einzelnen flachen Produkte werden an dessen unterem Ende aus dem Stapel entfernt.In the production of books, including brochures, magazines, magazines and the like, the use of gathering systems is known. These systems typically include a transport device on which individual flat products such as signatures or sheets are collected into a book block which is then processed and bound. Typically, a number of feeding devices are arranged along the transporting device so that with each feeding device a single flat product can be conveyed from a stack of products onto the transporting device. As a result, a book block is gradually created or an additional sheet inserted into a pocket of a pocket feeder or a newspaper placed in the pocket. Such feeders commonly use a separator for separating a product from the stack of flat products placed in each magazine of the feeder. The individual flat products are removed at the lower end of the stack.
Eine derartige Trennvorrichtung ist z.B. aus der US 3,988,016 bekannt. Diese Schrift beschreibt eine Hochgeschwindigkeitspapiereinlegevorrichtung zum Einlegen von Beilagen in Zeitungen. Die Beilagen sind so angeordnet, dass sie einen Stapel bilden und ein Vakuumgreifelement ergreift die unterste einzulegende Beilage von dem Stapel und trägt sie zu einem Walzenpaar, das die Einlage an eine geöffnete Zeitung weitergibt. Dabei erfordert ein einzelner Bogen einen anderen Saughub als eine Beilage von 120 Seiten oder ein voreingelegtes Teilprodukt. Die verschiedenen Saugantriebserfordernisse ergeben sich aus der Art, in der die Bogen oder Teilprodukte angeordnet und für die korrekte Trennung gesteuert werden müssen. Im Allgemeinen wird der Boden des Stapels von einer Plattform gehalten, einem sogenannten Signaturentisch mit einer Aussparung, die es einem Sauger ermöglicht, ein einzelnes Produkt aus dem unteren Ende des Produktstapels zu ziehen. Wenn der Sauger den Produktstapel nicht kontaktiert, wird der Stapel von einem bewegbaren Haken gehalten.Such a separation device is known for example from US 3,988,016. This document describes a high speed paper inserter for inserting inserts in newspapers. The inserts are arranged to form a stack and a vacuum gripper grips the lowermost insert to be loaded from the stack and carries it to a pair of rollers which passes the insert to an opened newspaper. In this case, a single sheet requires a different suction stroke than an insert of 120 pages or a pre-set partial product. The various suction drive requirements arise from the manner in which the sheets or part products must be arranged and controlled for proper separation. In general, the bottom of the stack is held by a platform, a so-called signature table with a recess that allows a sucker to pull a single product from the bottom of the product stack. If the nipple does not contact the product stack, the stack is held by a movable hook.
Es ist eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den bekannten Hebehaken so zu verbessern, dass das Trennen der Produkte besser unterstützt wird.It is an object of the present invention to improve the known lifting hook so that the separation of the products is better supported.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Vorrichtung zum Trennen mit den Merkmalen gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a device for separating with the features of
Gemäß einem Aspekt der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zum Trennen von flachen Produkten von einem Stapel aus flachen Produkten mit einer Vielzahl von Nadeln versehen, die in mindestens einer Nadelgruppe angeordnet sind. Weiterhin ist wenigstens ein Nadelblock zum Befestigen der Nadeln vorgesehen, wobei jeder Nadelgruppe ein Nadelblock zugeordnet ist. Der Nadelblock und die Nadelgruppe können von einer geschlossenen Position in eine geöffnete Position bewegt werden. In der geschlossenen Position halten die Nadeln den Boden eines Stapels aus flachen Produkten. Weiterhin ist jeweils eine Einstellvorrichtung zum Einstellen der Position jeder Nadelgruppe vorgesehen.According to one aspect of the present invention, an apparatus for separating flat products from a stack of flat products is provided with a plurality of needles arranged in at least one group of needles. Furthermore, at least one needle block is provided for fastening the needles, wherein each needle group is associated with a needle block. The needle block and the needle group can be moved from a closed position to an open position. In the closed position, the needles hold the bottom of a stack of flat products. Furthermore, an adjusting device for adjusting the position of each needle group is provided in each case.

In Fig. 1, 2, 1a und 2a sind schematische Seitenansichten einer erfindungsgemäßen Bogentrennvorrichtung dargestellt. Ein Stapel 10 aus flachen Produkten, insbesondere Bogen oder Signaturen aus Papier oder Kunststoff, ist in einem Magazin 12 angeordnet und liegt flach auf einem Signaturentisch 14. Um den untersten Bogen 18 des Stapels 10 herausziehen zu können, ist ein Spalt oder eine Ausnehmung 16 am unteren Ende des Stapels 10 vorgesehen. Eine Hebehaken 20 ist vorgesehen, der den Stapel 10 hält, wenn der Hebehaken 20 in der geschlossenen Position ist, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Der Hebehaken 20 ist von einer geschlossenen in eine geöffnete Position (Fig. 2) bewegbar, in der der Hebehaken 20 vorzugsweise drehbar um einen Schwenkpunkt 22 angeordnet ist. Daher ist es möglich, den Hebehaken 20 in die von Pfeil A angezeigte Richtung zu drehen, so dass ein Sauger 24 die unterste Signatur 18 des Signaturenstapels 10 nach unten ziehen kann. Zu diesem Zweck ist der Sauger 24 drehbar um einen Schwenkpunkt 32 des Saugers angeordnet und kann in die von Pfeil B angezeigte Richtung gedreht werden. Der Sauger greift die unterste Signatur vorübergehend an, um diese Funktion auszuführen. Der Hebehaken 20 kann einen Luftkanal 26 umfassen, durch den, wie von Pfeil C angezeigt, Luft zugeführt werden kann. Diese Luft kann durch die Eintrittsöffnung 34 dem Luftkanal zugeführt werden.FIGS. 1, 2, 1a and 2a show schematic side views of a sheet separating device according to the invention. A
In Fig. 1a und 2a liegt die Signatur an dem Frontführungselement oder der Stirnplatte 30 an. Während des Übergangs zwischen dem Schließen und Öffnen des Hebehakens und Saugers ist es notwendig, den Signaturenstapel zu halten, wobei mindestens eine Nadel oder eine Vielzahl von Nadeln 50 in einer geschlossenen Position durch eine Öffnung 51 (Fig. 5) in dem Frontführungselement hervorstehen. Dann wird es notwendig, die Nadeln zu entfernen oder zu öffnen, damit der Sauger die unterste Signatur ziehen kann. Die Nadeln sind durch eine Befestigung oder auf ähnliche Weise mit dem mindestens einen oder einer Vielzahl von Nadelblöcken 52 verbunden. Die Nadelblöcke und dazugehörigen Nadeln gehen durch eine Drehung um einen Schwenkpunkt 54 und die ortsfesten Blöcke 55 von einer geöffneten in eine geschlossene Position über. Die ortsfesten Blöcke 55 bieten des Weiteren eine Stütze für den Aufbau.In FIGS. 1 a and 2 a, the signature is applied to the front guide element or the
Die Einstellung der Position der Nadeln, also die Länge um die die Nadeln durch die Stirnplatte hervorstehen ist wichtig, weil der Sauger bei falscher Einstellung die Signatur nicht richtig entfernen kann. Wenn die Nadeln jedoch nur ein wenig hervorstehen, können sie die Signaturen nicht effektiv stützen.Adjusting the position of the needles, that is, the length by which the needles protrude through the faceplate, is important because the sucker, if misadjusted, can not properly remove the signature. However, if the needles protrude only slightly, they can not effectively support the signatures.
Um die optimale Einstellung zu erreichen, sind in den Fig. 3, 4a , 4b, 5 und 6 zwei Einstellungen der Nadelposition gezeigt. Eine Einzelnadeleinstellvorrichtung 60 ist so vorgesehen, dass sie die Position jeder Nadel einstellt. Eine Nadelgruppeneinstellvorrichtung 62 ist so vorgesehen, dass sie die Position der Nadelgruppen 66, 68 einstellt. Die Bewegung jeder Nadelgruppe wird durch einen Steuerungsarm 70, 72 übertragen.In order to achieve the optimum setting, two settings of the needle position are shown in FIGS. 3, 4a, 4b, 5 and 6. A
Eine erste Einstellvorrichtung kann den Aufbau einer Stellschraubenanordnung haben.A first adjustment device may have the structure of a set screw arrangement.
Die zweite Einstellvorrichtung ist in Verbindung mit den Steuerungsarmen 70, 72 vorgesehen. Es ist zu sehen, dass die Nadeln in einer Vielzahl von Gruppen 66, 68 angeordnet sind. Jede Gruppe von Nadeln weist einen dazugehörigen Nadelblock 52, eine Nadelgruppeneinstellvorrichtung 62 und einen Steuerungsarm 70 auf. Die Nadelgruppeneinstellvorrichtung 62 stellt die Position einer Gruppe von Nadeln ein. Manchmal kann es sinnvoll sein, mehr als eine oder eine Gruppe von Nadeln gleichzeitig einzustellen, indem die Nadeln in Gruppen angeordnet werden mit einem dazugehörigen Nadelblock und einer Gruppenanordnung. Die Anzahl der Nadeln in jeder Gruppe kann von den jeweiligen Erfordernissen abhängen; bei der dargestellten Anzahl handelt es sich nur um eine beispielhafte Darstellung.The second adjustment device is provided in connection with the
Der Gruppeneinstellvorrichtung kann eine Einstellvorrichtung aus einer Anzahl von Einstellvorrichtungen sein, die für diesen Zweck verwendet werden können. Es kann z.B. eine passende Gewindemutter- und Schraubenanordnung sein, so dass durch das Drehen einer oder der anderen der passenden Gewindevorrichtungen die Bewegung der Gruppe von Nadeln im Verhältnis zu dem ortsfesten Block und der Stirnplatte ausgeführt wird. Zu diesem Zwecke kann es sinnvoll sein, die Einstellung der Schraubengruppe durch den Steuerungsarm auszuführen, so dass die Nadeln ferngesteuert eingestellt werden können und vielleicht sogar während des Betriebs der Druckmaschine oder der Wartungszeit. Solch eine Art einer Anordnung könnte als automatische oder ferngesteuerte Art der Einstellung der Nadeln oder Nadelgruppen betrachtet werden. Wie dem Fachmann deutlich wird, sind viele Veränderungen der hier vorgestellten Konzepte möglich und werden in der Beschreibung in Betracht gezogen. Zum Beispiel kann die Einstellvorrichtung durch eine Steuerung mit einer elektronischen Schnittstelle ferngesteuert sein, welche ein mechanisches Antriebselement wie in Fig. 5 dargestellt steuert.The group adjuster may be an adjuster of a number of adjusters that may be used for this purpose. It can e.g. a suitable threaded nut and screw arrangement, so that the rotation of one or the other of the mating threading devices, the movement of the group of needles in relation to the stationary block and the end plate is performed. For this purpose, it may be useful to carry out the adjustment of the group of screws by the control arm, so that the needles can be adjusted remotely, and perhaps even during operation of the press or maintenance time. Such a type of arrangement could be considered as an automatic or remote type of adjustment of the needles or groups of needles. As those skilled in the art will appreciate, many variations of the concepts presented herein are possible and will be considered in the description. For example, the adjuster may be remotely controlled by a controller having an electronic interface that controls a mechanical drive element as shown in FIG.
Es ist selbstverständlich, dass die vorliegende Erfindung nur anhand eines Beispiels beschrieben worden ist und Änderungen der Details dem Fachmann verständlich sein sollten und im Rahmen der Erfindung möglich sind.It is to be understood that the present invention has been described by way of example only and changes in the details should be understood by those skilled in the art and are possible within the scope of the invention.
