Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a vertical bar former according to the preamble of Anpruchs 1 (Rgl. US 4,541,763 A).
  • Such known bar formers also US Pat. No. 4,772,003 A
  • the stacking line follows the product infeed and has an upper beginning and a lower end.
  • several handling elements are provided in the region of the stacking line for the continuous formation of bars.
  • the upper end of the stacking path is inclined relative to the lower end and in the conveying direction, so that the stored in the stacking section printed products with their leading edge (Fold) slip by itself by gravity against an intended in the stack section stop.
  • lower forces can be applied during the passage of the printed products through the product feed and when holding down the product back, whereby smearing of the printed products by hold-down elements or pressure belts is avoided.
  • the handling elements have two slidable along the stacking path and at the same time retractable into the stacking path is arranged on the end position above the supplied by the product guide scale flow.
  • the upper end position, i. the waiting position of the rake is thus above the supplied scale flow, so that the rake from above put on the rod.
  • the rod end is held securely so that it can not slip.
  • the handling elements have at least one lowering fork which can be displaced along the stacking path, in whose displacement path a first feed for end plates is arranged.
  • the lowering fork is used in a known manner to lower the rod during the rod forming process. According to the invention, when returning the lowering fork, it is possible to take over an end plate for the next rod to be formed, since an end plate feed is provided in the displacement path of the lowering fork.
  • This first feed for end plates is thus arranged in an area that is not critical both spatially and in terms of time sequence.
  • a second feed for end plates is arranged in the displacement path of the holding rake.
  • a second end plate for example an upper end plate, is placed on the holding rake from above, after this has been moved along the stacking path.
  • the tines of the separating rake can be provided with a support belt which can be unrolled on retraction of the rake from the stacking section via a roller provided at the tip of the tine.
  • a separating rake with a roll-off support belt or take-off belt can prevent that a relative movement between the rake and the overlying product stack takes place by the support belt is rolled over the roll during the withdrawal of the rake. This prevents the printed products to be transferred from being damaged or smeared.
  • the product supply at least three extending in the conveying direction and spaced transversely to the conveying direction of the pressure belt.
  • the product feed may be formed so that the position of the two outer pressure belt is adjustable transversely to the conveying direction.
  • a total of six pressure belts are provided in the product feed, wherein the two innermost pressure belts are not adjustable transversely to the conveying direction, and wherein the relative length of the two outermost pressure belts and the relative position of each adjacent Andruckriemens is adjustable transversely to the conveying direction.
  • Such a product feeder can also be used with multi-toothed rakes at different format sizes, since the adjustability of the pressure belt in a simple way an adaptation to different formats is possible. At the same time, it is again ensured that the products are always securely pressed and held at their two outermost opposite edges, ie on the head and foot. At the same time results in a particularly simple adjustment of the pressure belt.
  • the product feed and the handling elements are mounted on a common base, wherein the distance between base and stacking path in the conveying direction is adjustable.
  • a unit for introducing a gap in the scale flow, which is arranged at a height above the ground that it can be easily reached by an operator standing on the ground, wherein a transport device for further transport of the product flow to the product feed provided at the upper end of the stacking path is provided.
  • a displacement device may be provided, which passes a completely formed rod from the region of the stacking line on all sides guided to a pressing and strapping unit. This results in a fully automatic operation of the machine, while still ensuring that the fully formed rod is guided on all sides during the transfer to the pressing and strapping unit.
  • Fig. 1 shows a side view of a vertical bar former for forming bars S from printed products delivered in a scale flow P.
  • the bar former has on a base frame 10 a product feed 12 for feeding the scale flow P in a conveying direction F, wherein the product feed 12 is followed by a rectilinear stacking line 14 with an upper beginning in the region of the product feed P and a lower end.
  • a plurality of handling elements are provided to continuously form individual bars S from the conveyed scale flow P.
  • it is a separating rake 16, a holding rake 18 and a lowering fork 20, which are each mounted along the stacking path 14 slidably mounted on the base frame 10.
  • the lowering fork 20 along a guide 22 is displaced, whereas the separating rake 16 and the holding rake 18 along a guide 24 slidably are. Both guides overlap along the stacking path 14.
  • Both the separating rake 16 and the holding rake 18 are retractable into the stacking section 14 (see illustration in Fig. 1) and can be moved out by means of adjusting cylinders 26 to the rear from the region of the stacking section 14.
  • the stacking path 14 is inclined, in such a way that the upper beginning of the stacking path 14 relative to the vertical in the conveying direction F (and not against the conveying direction) is inclined.
  • a stop 28 provided on the rear side of the conveying path 14 encloses an acute angle ⁇ with the horizontal, which is for example about 70 °, and which opens in the conveying direction.
  • a first feeder 34 is provided for end plates 36 parallel to the rake 16, 18.
  • a second feed 30 for end plates 32 is provided at right angles to the stop 28 and parallel to the first feed 34.
  • a displacement device 40 is arranged in the lower region of the stacking section 14. With this displacement device, the completely formed rod S from the region of the stacking path 14 are transferred to a (not shown) pressing and strapping unit. For this purpose, the rod S is displaced in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing. Then the rod is pressed and strapped.
  • the displacement device 40 has a plurality of pivotable mounting brackets 42, which are provided with pins 44, which press on the top of the upper end plate 32 when the retaining brackets 42 are folded. Above the bracket 42, a lateral guide 46 may be provided for the rod S.
  • the product feeder 12 has a plurality of upper and lower pressure belts 50, 52 which lead between them the conveyed scale flow P of printed products and thereby press.
  • the upper pressure belts 50 are longer than the lower pressure belts 52 and the front end of the upper pressure belts 50, 52 extends into the upper end of the stacking path 14. In this area are on the side of the stopper 28 parallel and substantially in alignment therewith several take-off belts 54 provided with the help of the product back (fold) of the conveyed into the stack section 14 printed products is pulled down.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates, the upper end position of the separating rake 16 and of the holding rake 18 lies above the imbricated flow P fed through the product guide 12 when its products enter the stacking section 14. This means that the rakes 16, 18 submerge in a lowering movement through the scale flow. Since the upper pressure belt 50 of the product supply 12 into the area of the stacking line (see Fig. 1), the rakes 16, 18 must mesh with the upper pressure belts 50.
  • Fig. 2 shows a plan view of this arrangement in detail.
  • Fig. 2 is a plan view of the separating rake 16 is shown, which meshes with the pressure belts 50 a - 50 f of the product feed 12. At the same time it can be seen that the tines of the separating rake 16 are passed through slots provided in the stop 28 and that the separating rake 16 by means of the adjusting cylinder 26 in the direction of the double arrow 27 into the stacking path 14 and out of this is moved out.
  • the separating rake 16 has five prongs in the illustrated embodiment, with one prong each coming to rest between two adjacent pressure belts 50a, 50b, 50c, 50d and 50e, 50f.
  • the teeth of the rake 16 mesh with the pressure belts of the product feeder 12 so that the rake 16 can pass through the product feeder 12.
  • the holding rake 18 is formed in the same way as the separating rake 16 and is lowered from the position shown in Fig. 1 together with the separating rake 16, wherein at the beginning of the lowering movement both rakes are directly above one another.
  • the separating rake 16 and the holding rake 18 shoot together into the stacking section 14 after a separator 60 has created a certain gap in the scale flow and after this gap has reached the area of the stacking path 14. Subsequently, these are simultaneously lowered so that they mesh with the pressure belts 50a-50f of the product feeder 12.
  • the holding rake 18 is then moved downwards at the same speed as the lowering fork 20, so that the completely formed bar is clamped between the lowering fork 20 and the holding rake 18.
  • the separating rake 16 is lowered at the usual bar-forming speed so that a new partial stack is formed thereon.
  • the bar former With the bar former described above, also printed products of different formats can be stacked without the need for complicated adjustments.
  • the bar former has a format adjustment which acts in the conveying direction F and a format adjustment which acts transversely to the conveying direction F of the conveyed products P.
  • the product feed has six upper pressure belts 50 a - 50 f, which are fastened on a base 70. All pressure belts are parallel and each take a tine of the rake 16 and 18 between them. As indicated in FIG. 2 by double arrows, the two respective outermost pressure belts 50a and 50f can be adjusted transversely to the product conveying direction F (arrows A, B), wherein in addition a relative displacement between the two outermost pressure belts 50a and 50b or 50e and 50f is possible (arrows C, D). In this way it is ensured that each product is held at its two transverse to the conveying direction outermost edges of pressure belts (pressure belts 50a and 50f) and that the remaining Andruckriemen are evenly distributed over the surface of the product.
  • a different product width can be achieved by adjusting the base 70 along the double arrow 72. Since with the base 70 and the guide 24 of the rake 16, 18 and the guide 22 of the lowering fork 20 is connected, an adjustment of all required settings is effected solely by adjusting the base 70 along the double arrow 72.
  • Fig. 3 shows an alternative embodiment of a holding rake 18 'in the transfer of a formed sub-stack S to the lowering fork 20 and to the end plate located thereon 36.
  • a deflection roller 82 is provided at the ends of each prong of Trennrechens 18' , wherein a support belt 80 is guided around each guide roller 82.
  • the upper run of the support belt 80 is held at the (in Fig. 3) left end, so that upon retraction of the rake 18 'at the same time as the lower run of the support belt 80, it can roll around the deflection roller 82.
  • the partial stack S located on the support belt 80 is unrolled without a relative movement between the rake 18 'and the partial stack S taking place. In this way, an extremely gentle transfer of the formed partial stacks can take place.
  • the separating device 60 is provided for introducing a gap in the scale flow at such a height above the ground that it can be easily reached by an operator standing on the ground.
  • a transport device is provided for further transport of the product stream to the product feed 12 provided at the upper end of the stacking section 14.
  • an adjustment of the separator 60 can be made by an operator in a convenient, simple and secure manner, without the aid of such tools as ladders, stools or the like are required.
