Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of conveyor technology and relates to a device according to the preamble of the first claim.
  • the device is used for continuous Collection of flat objects for serial production of stacks and for further processing of the manufactured stacks.
  • piles of sheets, folded sheets, signatures or other printed products by providing a series of feed points, by creating Stack essentially continuously in succession along this series of Feed points are promoted and by each emerging at each feed point A printed product is added to the stack.
  • the device for promotion the resulting stack has, for example, a plurality of consecutively arranged essentially V-shaped pockets with upward facing openings extending transversely to the conveying direction, into which the Print products are introduced with an edge first.
  • One is already leaning emerging stack in the pocket against one of the pocket walls and is pressed against this wall with suitable means, if necessary, so that the material to be added Product can be added to the stack safely and precisely.
  • Purposes can also be arranged one behind the other, L-shaped stacking pads one support surface and one foot element are provided, the support surfaces also extend transversely to the conveying direction and opposite the vertical are advantageously aligned obliquely. Be on these contact surfaces the supplied printed products are advantageously guided on the leading edge laid out, as for example in the Swiss patent application No. 2525/00 (P1814) by the same applicant.
  • Publication EP-0908408 proposes such collation bags, when the stack has been formed therein, during a continuous conveying open at the bottom so that the stacks by gravity into a lower pocket which lower pocket adjoins the collation pocket.
  • the walls of the lower pockets are movable so that the one in one Bag fallen stacks can be clamped between these walls, so that when you open this bag, the bottom of the stack, or all the bottom edges the flat objects gathered in the stack become freely accessible, while the stack is held in the bag.
  • the stack page exposed in this way can then be roughened, trimmed and / or with, for example, for a binding Glue are treated. After this treatment, the stack is removed from the pocket walls released and specifically dropped.
  • EP-0712736 also compiles printed products described in essentially continuously conveyed pockets.
  • the fully educated one Stack is then pinched and held by the pocket walls in such a way that the bag can be opened at the bottom and the position of the stack relative to the pocket walls remains unchanged.
  • the bag used has a Hollow bar designed base part that moved down to open the bag becomes. According to this publication, the product edges exposed in this way, which form the bottom of the stack, for binding the stack or book block further treated for what the stack including the pressing pocket walls in Collets is introduced.
  • the object of the invention is now a device for continuous Gathering flat objects into stacks and for further processing the stack to create with what device excellent edges of the stacked, flat objects aligned when stacked and finished Stacks are made accessible for further processing and with which device the stacks with the exposed edge areas of further processing be promoted.
  • the device according to the invention should be known Devices that serve the same purpose, in particular distinguish them by that it’s more universal and easier to use, and that it’s significantly easier to use different requirements for the exposure of the edge areas of the stacked, flat objects is customizable.
  • the device according to the invention has a plurality in a manner known per se of essentially continuously conveyed in the conveying direction Stack pads on. These batch runs are funded continuously, first for the formation of stacks by collating along one Row of feed points, then through an exposure area and from there to further processing.

  • the flat objects on the in this Phase advantageously created oblique contact surface and its lower edges are on top of each other by the foot element, which is pressed against the support surface aligned.
  • the contact surface and foot element together bear the resulting and the finished stack in a defined position.
  • the last feed point is followed by an exposure area in the direction of conveyance which the stack supports are funded essentially the same as along the row from feed points.
  • the exposure area also makes stack support means promoted and synchronized with the stacking pads and aligned with them, the conveying path of the stack supports and the conveying path of the stack support means are designed such that the stack support means are at the entrance of the exposure area are arranged directly under the stacking pads and during the Funding through the exposure area further down from the stacking pads remove.
  • the foot elements are where the stack support means move directly under the stack supports, that is, on Entrance of the exposure area, distanced from the contact surfaces, so that the on the contact surfaces of the stack lying against the bottom and, always sliding against the support surfaces, slide onto the stack support.
  • the stacks are in contact with the support surfaces and through the stack support means supported supported until due to the divergence of the conveyance paths from stacking and stack support means have slipped so far that the lower edges of the stacked flat objects the lower edges of the contact surfaces by a predetermined Surpass dimensions.
  • a second control means is provided through which the foot elements from their position distanced from the support surface be released back into their press position.
  • the Stacking supports With the stack clamped between the support surface and the foot element, the Stacking supports further promoted, whereby their spatial position can now also be changed is, for example, by pivoting the stack supports relative to the conveyor path or by redirecting the conveyor path.
  • Objects can be aligned with one another, projecting over the support surfaces and originally against downward edge areas for further processing be optimally oriented.
  • the stacking pads can very easily be between the contact surface and the base element protruding stack part with a suitable means and then for stack release the foot element again in its position distanced from the support surface to be brought.

In cases where such Perpendicularity is not relevant, a simple conveyor belt can also Take over the function of the individual stack supports 11 shown in FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows essentially the same device as FIG. 1. While the device according to FIG. 1 is operated in a mode in which the foot elements 4 of all stacking supports 2 conveyed past are actuated at point A, according to FIG. 2 this is only for selected stacking supports 2 the case, for example only for batch runs that contain an error-free batch 6.
