Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vertical bar former for Forming vertical stacks, so-called bars, from printed products, which are delivered in a stream of shed.
  • Such known bar formers have a product feed Feed the scale flow in a conveying direction and a straight line Stack distance on.
  • the stacking section follows the product feed and has an upper start and a lower end. Furthermore, in the area of the stacking section for the continuous formation of Rods several handling elements are provided.
  • top of the stacking section is opposite to the lower beginning inclined in the conveying direction so that the in the area of the stacked printed products with their leading edge (Fold) automatically by gravity against one in the area of the stacking line the intended stop.
  • This allows you to perform of the printed products through the product feed and when holding them down the product back less forces are applied, whereby smearing of the printed products by hold-down elements or pressure belt is avoided.
  • the handling elements at least one displaceable along the stacking path and have rakes retractable into the stacking section, the upper one End position above the scale flow supplied by the product guide is arranged.
  • the upper end position i.e. the waiting position the rake is thus above the shingled stream supplied, so that the rake touches the bar from above. This will Rod end held securely so that it cannot slip.
  • the handling elements at least one displaceable along the stacking route Lowering fork, in the displacement of which a first feed for end plates is arranged.
  • the lowering fork is used in a known manner, the Lower the bar during the bar forming process.
  • This first feed for end plates is thus arranged in an area seen both in terms of space and in terms of time is not critical.
  • the handling elements one slidable along the stacking path and into the Stackable retractable holding rake, in the displacement of which one second feed for end plates is arranged.
  • a second end plate for example an upper end plate, after which the holding rake is placed from above this has been moved along the stacking route.
  • the handling elements one slidable along the stacking path and into the Stackable retractable separating rake, the tines with a support tape are provided when the rake is withdrawn from the stacking section via a roller provided at the tip of the tine can be unrolled.
  • a separating rake with a rollable Support tape or trigger tape can be prevented from a relative movement between the rake and the product stack above it takes place by the overlay during the retraction of the rake is rolled over the roll. This prevents the to transferring printed products are damaged or smeared.
  • the product feed has at least three in the conveying direction and transverse to the conveying direction spaced pressure belts. With such pressure belts the shingled stream of printed products supplied can be accelerated and pre-pressed into the stacking section, at the same time proper orientation of each individual printed product is ensured.
  • the product feed can be designed so that the position of the two outer pressure belts is adjustable transversely to the conveying direction. This makes it easy to adjust guaranteed because the middle pressure belt even with different Formats can maintain its location, while only the two outer pressure belts must be adjusted.
  • An adjustability the outermost pressure belt has the additional advantage that each printed product of the shingled stream supplied is always at the top and is held and pressed when it is inserted into the stacking section becomes.
  • a total of six pressure belts in the product feed are preferred provided, the two innermost pressure belts transverse to the conveying direction are not adjustable, and being the relative length of the two outermost Pressure belt and the relative position of the neighboring one Pressure belt is adjustable across the conveying direction.
  • Such Product feeding can also be done with multi-pronged rakes at different Format sizes are used because of the adjustability of the Pressure belts easily adapt to different Formats is possible.
  • the Product feed and the handling elements on a common Base attached is adjustable.
  • a displacement device be provided, which is a fully formed rod from the Area of the stacking section guided on all sides to a pressing and strapping unit passes. This results in a fully automatic mode of operation the machine, while ensuring that the fully formed Also at the handover to the pressing and strapping unit is guided on all sides.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of a vertical bar former for forming from bars S from printed products delivered in a shingled stream P.
  • the bar former has a base frame 10
  • Product feed 12 for feeding the scale flow P in one Direction of conveyance F, with a straight line on the product feed 12
  • Stacking path 14 with an upper start in the area of the product feed P and a lower end connects.
  • multiple handling elements are provided to continuously individual rods S from the delivered scale stream P. form.
  • it is a separating rake 16, one Holding rake 18 and a lowering fork 20, each along the stacking path 14 are slidably attached to the base frame 10.
  • the Lowering fork 20 slidable along a guide 22, whereas the Separating rake 16 and the holding rake 18 can be moved along a guide 24 are. Both guides overlap along the stacking route 14th
  • Both the separating rake 16 and the holding rake 18 are in the stacking section 14 retractable (see illustration in Fig. 1) and can with the help of actuating cylinders 26 to the rear from the area of the stack section 14 be brought out.
  • the stack path 14 is inclined, in such a way that the upper beginning of the stack section 14 with respect to the vertical in the conveying direction F (and not against the conveying direction). hereby includes a stop provided on the back of the conveyor line 14 28 with the horizontal an acute angle ⁇ , for example is about 70 °, and that opens in the conveying direction.
  • a first feed 34 for end plates 36 is provided.
  • a second feed 30 for end plates 32 is provided.
  • a stacking plate can be fed through the feeds 30 and 34 32 or 36 are introduced into the stack section 14, the Lowering fork 20 takes over an end plate 36 from the feed 34 and the holding rake 18 takes over an end plate 32 from the guide 30, which is explained in more detail below.
  • the displacement device 40 has a plurality of pivotable holding brackets 42, which are provided with pins 44, which when folded Press brackets 42 onto the top of the upper end plate 32. Above the bracket 42, a lateral guide 46 for the rod S may be provided.
  • the product feeder 12 has a plurality of upper and lower pressure belts 50, 52 on, between them the shingled stream P from Lead printed products while pressing.
  • the upper pressure belts 50 are longer than the lower pressure belts 52 and the front end of the upper pressure belt 50, 52 extends into the upper end of the stacking section 14.
  • In this area 28 are parallel on the side of the stop and essentially in alignment with this a plurality of trigger belts 54 provided with the help of the product spine (fold) in the stacking line 14 imported printed products is pulled down.
  • the upper end position of the separating rake 16 lies and the holding rake 18 above that through the product guide 12 fed scale stream P when its products in the stacking section 14 occur. This means that the rakes 16, 18 during a lowering movement dive through the stream of scale. Because the top Pressure belt 50 of the product feed 12 into the area of the stacking section are introduced (see FIG. 1), the rakes 16, 18 must comb the top pressure belt 50.
  • Fig. 2 shows a top view this arrangement in detail.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the separating rake 16 is shown with combs the pressure belt 50a-50f of the product feed 12. simultaneously can be seen that the tines of the separating rake 16 by in the Stop 28 provided slots are passed and that the Separating rake 16 with the help of the actuating cylinder 26 in the direction of the double arrow 27 into and out of the stack section 14.
  • the separating rake 16 has five in the illustrated embodiment Tines on, one tine between two adjacent pressure belts 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d and 50e, 50f comes to rest. When lowering of the separating rake 16 along the guide 24 would come the tines Computing 16 with the pressure belt of the product feed 12, so that the Rake 16 can pass through the product feed 12.
  • the separating rake 18 is designed in the same way as the separating rake 16 and is from the position shown in Fig. 1 together with the separating rake 16 lowered, with the start of the lowering movement both rakes are directly one above the other.
  • the separating rake 16 and the holding rake 18 shoot together in the Stack distance 14 after a separator 60 a certain Gap in the shingled stream created and after that gap up has reached the area of the stack section 14. Then be this lowered at the same time so that it with the pressure belt 50a - 50f comb the product feeder 12.
  • the holding rake 18 is then moved at the same speed as the lowering fork 20, so that the fully formed rod between the lowering fork 20 and the Holding rake 18 is clamped.
  • the separating rake 16 is used with the usual Rod formation speed lowered, so that on this one forms new partial stack.
  • the bar builder a format adjustment that acts in the conveying direction F and a format adjustment that is transverse to the conveying direction F of the conveyed Products P works.
  • the product feed in the illustrated Embodiment six upper pressure belts 50a - 50f on the a base 70 are attached. All pressure belts run parallel and each take a prong of rakes 16 and 18 between them. As indicated in Fig. 2 by double arrows, the two can outermost pressure belts 50a and 50f transverse to the product conveying direction F can be adjusted (arrows A, B), with an additional relative adjustment between the two outermost pressure belts 50a and 50b or 50e and 50f is possible (arrows C, D). This ensures that each product on both of them lying transversely to the conveying direction extreme edges of pressure belts (pressure belts 50a and 50f) is held and that the remaining pressure belts evenly over the Area of the product are distributed.
  • Base 70 can be reached along the double arrow 72.
  • the guide 24 of the rake 16, 18 and the guide 22 of the lowering fork 20 is connected by simply moving the base 70 along the double arrow 72 an adjustment of all required settings causes.
  • FIG. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a holding rake 18 ' the transfer of a formed partial stack S to the lowering fork 20 or the end plate 36 located on this.
  • a deflection roller at the ends of each prong of the separating rake 18 ' 82 is provided, with a support belt around each deflection roller 82 80 is performed.
  • the rake 18 ' is pulled back, the upper run of the support tape 80 at the left end (in Fig. 3), so that when withdrawing the rake 18 'simultaneously with the lower run of the Support tape 80 this can roll around the pulley 82.
  • the partial stack S located on the support belt 80 is unrolled without that a relative movement between the rake 18 'and the sub-stack S takes place. In this way, an extremely gentle transfer of the Partial stack formed.
  • the separation device 60 to introduce a gap in the shingled stream in provided such a height above the ground that it can move from one to the other the operator standing on the floor can be easily reached.
