Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Transport von Druckprodukten, mit einem endlos umlaufend geführten Zugorgan, an welchem in regelmässigen Abständen zugeführte Druckprodukte übernehmende und wieder abgebende Aufnahmemittel befestigt sind.The invention relates to a device for the transport of Printed products, with an endlessly circulating tension member, on which printed products delivered at regular intervals attached receiving and releasing receiving means are.

Derartige Einrichtungen sind u.a. als Takttransporteure in der druckverarbeitenden Industrie bekannt und transportieren einzelne Druckprodukte von einer Druckmaschine über mehrere Verarbeitungsstationen in den Versandbereich. Diese Einrichtung weist ein durch eine geführte Kette gebildetes Zugorgan auf, an dem in regelmässigen Abständen klammerartige Greifer befestigt sind, die in Offenstellung an einer Zuführstation durch Schliessen des Greifers ein Druckprodukt übernehmen und an eine nachfolgende Verarbeitungsstation weiterfördern, wo die Druckprodukte durch Oeffnen der Greifer von diesen zur Entnahme befreit werden. Such devices are u.a. as Takttransporteure in the known and transport individual Printed products from a printing press through several processing stations in the shipping area. This device has a traction element formed by a guided chain, attached to the at regular intervals clip-like gripper are in open position at a feeding station through Closing the gripper to take over a printed product and to a further conveying the subsequent processing station, where the Printed products by opening the gripper of these for removal be freed.

Diese bekannten Einrichtungen fördern das Druckprodukt hängend in ein getaktet rotierendes Zellenrad, welches die Druckprodukte beispielsweise in Taschen einer Einsteckmaschine steckt. Die EP 0 380 921 B1 vermittelt eine derartige Einrichtung zur Beschickung einer Einsteckmaschine mit Druckprodukten.These known devices promote the printed product hanging in a clocked rotating cellular wheel, which the printed products for example, in pockets of a plug-in machine. EP 0 380 921 B1 provides such a device for Loading a plug-in machine with printed products.

Diese bekannten Einrichtungen lassen an Genauigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit zu wünschen übrig, insbesondere dann, wenn eine relativ hohe Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit gefahren werden soll.These known devices allow for accuracy and reliability to be desired, especially if a relative high processing speed to be driven.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, die einfach ausführbar ist und mit der die Druckprodukte bei relativ hoher Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit treffsicher zuführbar sind.The object of the invention is therefore to a device to create that is easily executable and with which the printed products at a relatively high processing speed accurate can be fed.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Aufnahmemittel paarweise zusammenwirkende, mit ihrem Umfang einen Förderspalt bildende Walzen aufweisen, die einenends und um senkrecht zur Förderrichtung an einem mit dem Zugorgan verbundenen Traggestell angeordnete Achsen antreibbar gelagert sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the Receiving means cooperating in pairs, with their circumference have a conveying gap forming rollers, the one and perpendicular to the conveying direction at one connected to the tension member Supporting frame arranged axles mounted drivable are.

Es erweist sich als einfache Ausführungsform, wenn wenigstens eine Walze eines Walzenpaares mit einem Antriebsorgan verbindbar ist.It proves to be a simple embodiment, if at least a roller of a pair of rollers with a drive member connectable is.

Zur unmittelbaren Nutzung der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung ist es vorteilhaft, wenn entlang des Zugorgans wenigstens eine Zuführstation zur Beschickung der Aufnahmemittel und wenigstens eine Abgabestation zur Weiterverarbeitung der Druckprodukte vorgesehen ist, die durch Antriebsorgane ausgebildet sind.For immediate use of the inventive device it is advantageous if at least one along the pulling member Feeding station for feeding the receiving means and at least a dispensing station for further processing of the printed products is provided, which is formed by drive members are.

Vorzugsweise sind die Antriebsorgane durch ortsfeste Steuerkurven oder angetriebene Steuermittel ausgebildet, die eine exakte Verarbeitung gestatten.Preferably, the drive members are fixed by cams or driven control means are formed, the one allow exact processing.

Zweckmässig ist zur Meidung einer ungenauen Erfassung und Abgabe der Druckprodukte die Länge einer ortsfesten Steuerkurve geringer als der Teilungsabstand zweier an dem Zugorgan befestigter Aufnahmemittel.It is expedient to avoid inaccurate registration and delivery the printed products the length of a fixed cam less than the pitch of two attached to the tension member Receiving means.

Wenn die Druckprodukte in einer zur Aufnahme entgegengesetzten Richtung wieder aus den Aufnahmemitteln ausgestossen werden, eignet sich eine Anordnungsweise der Steuerkurven besonders, wenn letztere wechselweise gegenüberliegend entlang dem Zugorgan versetzt vorkommen.When the printed products are in a position opposite to the recording Be ejected again from the receiving means, is particularly suitable for arranging the control cams, when the latter is alternately opposite along the tension member offset occur.

Es erweist sich als einfache und bewährte Konstruktion, wenn die Walzenpaare durch Zahnräder antriebsverbunden sind, sodass nur die in Umlaufrichtung nur eine Walze eines Walzenpaares von einem Antriebsorgan angetrieben wird.It proves to be a simple and proven construction, though the pairs of rollers are drivingly connected by gears, so only in the direction of rotation only one roller of a pair of rollers is driven by a drive member.

Hierzu ist es günstig, wenn die vom Antriebsorgan angetriebene Walze am Umfang einen Antriebswulst aufweist, wobei durch Veränderung des Wulstdurchmessers die Drehgeschwindigkeit der Walze beeinflusst werden kann.For this purpose, it is advantageous if the driven by the drive member Roller has a drive bead on the circumference, whereby by change of the bead diameter, the rotational speed of Roller can be influenced.

Zur Entnahme einzelner Druckprodukte aus den sich folgenden Aufnahmemitteln oder einer regelmässigen Teilentnahme ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die den anzutreibenden Walzen zugeordneten Antriebsorgane zuschaltbar ausgebildet sind.To remove individual printed products from the following Receiving means or a regular partial withdrawal is advantageous if the associated with the driven rollers Drive elements are formed switchable.

Handelt es sich bei der Aufnahme um grössere Druckprodukte, dann ist es möglicherweise notwendig, dass eine längere Einzugsstrecke vorzusehen ist, sodass die Länge einer ortsfesten Steuerkurve mehr als ein Teilungsabstand eines Aufnahmemittels betragen müsste.Is it the inclusion of larger print products, then it may be necessary to have a longer intake route is to be provided so that the length of a fixed Control curve more than a pitch of a receiving means would have to be.

Ist eine längere Einzugsstrecke erforderlich, dann ist es vorteilhaft, wenn eine Zuführ- resp. eine Abgabestation zwei benachbarte Steuerkurven aufweist, denen jeweils ein Antriebswulst einer antreibbaren Walze zweier sich folgender Aufnahmemittel zugeordnet ist.If a longer intake route is required then it is advantageous if a feed resp. one delivery station two adjacent ones Cams, each having a drive bead a drivable roller of two following receiving means assigned.
