Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anordnung nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.
Solche Anordnungen sind für die Verarbeitung von sogenannten Doppelnutzen-Produkten bekannt. Diese Doppelnutzen-Produkte werden beispielsweise mit einem Sammelhefter gebildet und in der Regel auch geheftet. In einer Schneidmaschine, auch Trimmer genannt, werden diese Doppelnutzen-Produkte mit vorauslaufendem Rücken beschnitten. Aus jedem Doppelnutzen-Produkt entstehen so zwei Druckprodukte, die an drei Seiten beschnitten sind. Nach der Schneidmaschine werden die beschnittenen Druckprodukte in zwei synchron laufenden Strömen gefördert. Zur Weiterverarbeitung der Druckprodukte werden diese beiden Ströme je einer Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine zugeführt. Diese Maschinen sind insbesondere Kreuzleger zur Bildung von Paketen oder Wickelvorrichtungen. In den Kreuzlegern werden die Druckprodukte in bekannter Weise übereinander gestapelt. Mit den Wickelvorrichtungen werden aus den Strömen Schuppenströme gebildet und diese werden mittels Wickelbändern zu Rollen aufgewickelt. Diese Rollen können gelagert und zur gewünschten Zeit wieder abgewickelt werden.The invention relates to an arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.
Such arrangements are known for the processing of so-called double-use products. These double-use products are formed with a saddle stitcher, for example, and are usually also stapled. In a cutting machine, also called a trimmer, these double-use products are trimmed with the spine in front. Each double-use product thus results in two printed products that are trimmed on three sides. After the cutting machine, the trimmed printed products are conveyed in two synchronously running streams. For the further processing of the printed products, these two streams are each fed to a further processing machine. These machines are, in particular, staplers for forming packages or winding devices. The printed products are stacked on top of one another in the known manner in the cross-stackers. With the winding devices, shingled streams are formed from the streams and these are wound up into rolls by means of winding tapes. These rolls can be stored and unwound at the desired time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anordnung der genannten Gattung zu schaffen, welche die Bearbeitung von Doppelströmen und insbesondere die Verarbeitung von Doppelnutzen-Produkten vereinfacht. Trotzdem soll eine vergleichsweise hohe Leistung möglich sein.
Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Anordnung gemäss Anspruch 1 gelöst. Bei der erfindungsgemässen Anordnung werden die beiden Ströme zu einem gemeinsamen Strom zusammengeführt. Dies wird mit Stufen erreicht, an denen die Druckprodukte wasserfallartig gefördert werden. Solche Stufen bzw. wasserfallartige Förderstrecken werden in der Fachsprache auch bumpturn genannt. Diese sind in der druckverarbeitenden Industrie an sich bekannt und sind funktionssicher sowie ohne grossen konstruktiven Aufwand beherrschbar. Da lediglich ein Strom weiterverarbeitet werden muss, ist entsprechend lediglich eine Weiterverarbeitungsmaschine erforderlich, welcher dieser Strom zugeführt wird. Damit kann der Arbeitsablauf vereinfacht und es können Kosten eingespart werden. Die Druckprodukte können beispielsweise lediglich in einem einzigen Kreuzleger zu Paketen zusammengefasst werden oder auf eine Wickelrolle aufgerollt werden.The invention has for its object to provide an arrangement of the type mentioned, which simplifies the processing of double streams and in particular the processing of double-use products. Nevertheless, a comparatively high performance should be possible.
The object is achieved in a generic arrangement according to claim 1. In the arrangement according to the invention, the two streams are brought together to form a common stream. This is achieved with stages at which the printed products are conveyed like waterfalls. Such stages or waterfall-like conveying lines are also called bumpturn in technical terms. These are known per se in the printing processing industry and are functionally reliable and can be managed without great design effort. Since only one stream has to be processed further, only one further processing machine is accordingly required, to which this stream is supplied. This can simplify the workflow and save costs. For example, the printed products can only be combined into packages in a single stacker or rolled up on a winding roll.

Ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung die Anordnung so ausgebildet, dass der gemeinsamen dritte Strom ein Schuppenstrom ist, so kann dieser zu einer Rolle gewickelt werden. Die Leistung der erfindungsgemässen Anordnung ist mit bekannten Anordnungen dieser Gattung zumindest vergleichbar. Bei Produkten mit dem Format DIN A5 können ohne weiteres 2x 13'000 Exemplare pro Stunde verarbeitet werden. According to a development of the invention, the arrangement is like this trained that the common third stream is a shingled stream , it can be wound into a roll. The Performance of the arrangement according to the invention is known Arrangements of this type are at least comparable. For products with the DIN A5 format can easily handle 2x 13,000 copies processed per hour.

Die Anordnung weist gemäss Fig. 2 im wesentlichen eine erste Transportvorrichtung 1, eine zweite Transportvorrichtung 2, einen Sammelhefter 18 sowie eine Schneidmaschine 5 auf. In dem hier lediglich angedeuteten und üblichen Sammelhefter 18 werden sogenannte Doppelnutzen-Produkte 13 verarbeitet und vorzugsweise mit einer hier nicht gezeigten üblichen Heftmaschine am Rücken 21 geheftet. Die Doppelnutzen-Produkte 13 sind mit den Informationen A und B für zwei Druckprodukte 3 und 4 bedruckt. A und B sind üblicherweise gleich und symmetrisch.According to FIG. 2, the arrangement essentially has a first one Transport device 1, a second transport device 2, a saddle stitcher 18 and a cutting machine 5. By doing here are only indicated and usual saddle stitcher 18 so-called double-use products 13 processed and preferably with a conventional stapling machine, not shown here stapled on the back 21. The double-use products 13 are included printed information A and B for two printed products 3 and 4. A and B are usually the same and symmetrical.

Die im Sammelhefter 18 gebildeten Doppelnutzen-Produkte 13 werden der ersten Transportvorrichtung 1 übergeben, auf welcher sie in Richtung des Pfeiles 14 mit vorauslaufendem Rücken 21 gefördert und einer Schneidvorrichtung 5, auch Trimmer genannt, zugeführt werden. Diese Schneidvorrichtung 5 weist ein Frontschnitt 6 und zwei Seitenmesser 8, 10 und ein Mittelschnittmesser 9 sowie hier nicht gezeigte Anschläge auf. Die Doppelnutzen-Produkte 13 werden in der Schneidvorrichtung 5 seitig und parallel zum Rücken 21 beschnitten. Mit dem Mittelschnittmesser 9 werden die Doppelnutzen-Produkte 13 entlang der angedeuteten gestrichelten Linie T durchgetrennt. Nach der Schneidvorrichtung 5 liegen somit dreiseitig beschnittene und sammelgeheftete Druckprodukte 3 und 4, beispielsweise Broschüren, Zeitschriften und dergleichen vor. Die Druckprodukte 3 und 4 werden jeweils mit dem Rücken 24 vorlaufend gefördert. Ein Frontschnitt 22 ist somit nachlaufend und die Seitenschnitte 23 erstrecken sich parallel zur Förderrichtung gemäss Pfeil 14.The double-use products 13 formed in the saddle stitcher 18 are transferred to the first transport device 1, on which them in the direction of arrow 14 with their backs ahead 21 conveyed and a cutting device 5, also called trimmer, are fed. This cutting device 5 has a Front cut 6 and two side knives 8, 10 and a center cut knife 9 and stops not shown here. The Double-use products 13 are in the cutting device 5 trimmed on both sides and parallel to the back 21. With the center cut knife 9 along the double-use products 13 of the indicated dashed line T. After Cutting device 5 are thus cut on three sides and saddle-stitched printed products 3 and 4, for example brochures, Magazines and the like. The printed products 3 and 4 are each promoted in advance with the back 24. A front cut 22 is trailing and the side cuts 23 extend parallel to the conveying direction according to Arrow 14.

Die Druckprodukte 3 bilden einen ersten Strom S1 und die Druckprodukte 4 einen zweiten Strom S2. Beide Ströme laufen vorzugsweise synchron zueinander und wie ersichtlich, sind die Druckprodukte 3 und 4 jeweils in Strömungsrichtung zueinander beabstandet.The printed products 3 form a first stream S1 and Print products 4 a second stream S2. Both streams run preferably in sync with each other and as can be seen, the Print products 3 and 4 each in the flow direction to each other spaced.

Die Transportvorrichtung 1 weist nach der Schneidvorrichtung 5 gemäss Fig. 1 ein Transportorgan 15, beispielsweise ein endloses Band auf. Der Transport der beiden Ströme S1 und S2 endet an einer vorderen Kante 7.The transport device 1 points after the cutting device 5 1 a transport member 15, for example an endless one Tape on. The transport of the two streams S1 and S2 ends on a front edge 7.

Quer zur Transportrichtung gemäss Pfeil 14 und nach der Kante 7 ist die zweite Transportvorrichtung 2 angeordnet, die eine Förderrichtung aufweist, welche gemäss Pfeil 25 im wesentlichen quer zur Förderrichtung der Transportvorrichtung 1 ist. Die Transportvorrichtung 2 weist ein erstes Transportorgan 2a sowie ein zweites Transportorgan 2b auf. Diese werden beispielsweise durch ein Transportband 16 bzw. ein Transportband 17 gebildet. Es sind hier aber grundsätzlich auch andere Transportorgane möglich. Die beiden Transportorgane 2a und 2b sind jeweils von einem separaten regelbaren Antrieb 19 bzw. 20 angetrieben. Wie die Fig. 1 zeigt, befindet sich das erste Transportorgan 2a etwas unterhalb und vor der Kante 7 und das zweite Transportorgan 2b befindet sich unterhalb einer vorderen Kante 26 des ersten Transportorgans 2a. Vom Übergang der ersten Transportvorrichtung 1 zur zweiten Transportvorrichtung 2 wird damit eine erste Stufe und zwischen dem Transportorgan 2a und dem Transportorgan 2b wird eine zweite Stufe gebildet. Da die beiden Transportorgane 2a und 2b zueinander in der Höhe versetzt sind, bildet sich für Strom S1 eine Doppelstufe gemäss W1 + W3. Der Strom S2 wird über die Stufe W2, die der Fallhöhe W1 + W3 entspricht, auf Transportorgan 2b geführt. Die Druckprodukte 3 des Stromes S1 gelangen nach W1 über eine weitere Stufe W3, also vom ersten Transportorgan 2a auf das zweite Transportorgan 2b.Across the transport direction according to arrow 14 and after the edge 7, the second transport device 2 is arranged, one Has conveying direction, which according to arrow 25 essentially is transverse to the conveying direction of the transport device 1. The transport device 2 has a first transport member 2a and a second transport member 2b. These are, for example by a conveyor belt 16 or a conveyor belt 17 formed. Basically there are also others here Transport organs possible. The two transport members 2a and 2b are each from a separate controllable drive 19 and 20 driven. As shown in Fig. 1, the first is Transport organ 2a slightly below and in front of the edge 7 and that second transport member 2b is located below a front one Edge 26 of the first transport member 2a. From the transition of the first transport device 1 to the second transport device 2 thus becomes a first stage and between the transport organ 2a and the transport member 2b, a second stage is formed. Since the two transport members 2a and 2b to each other in height are offset, a double stage is formed for current S1 in accordance with W1 + W3. The current S2 is via the stage W2, which the Fall height corresponds to W1 + W3, led to transport element 2b. The printed products 3 of the stream S1 reach W1 via a further stage W3, that is from the first transport member 2a to the second transport member 2b.

Die Fördergeschwindigkeit der Ströme S1, S2 sind mit Pfeil V1, die Geschwindigkeit des Förderorgans 2a mit V2 und die Geschwindigkeit des Schuppenstromes S3 mit V3 bezeichnet. Auf dem ersten Förderorgan 2a werden die Druckprodukte 3 von der Geschwindigkeit V1 auf die Geschwindigkeit V2 versetzt. Die Druckprodukte 4 werden von der Geschwindigkeit V1 auf die Geschwindigkeit V3 des Förderorgans 2b umgesetzt. Die Geschwindigkeit V2 ist gleichgerichtet wie die Geschwindigkeit V3, jedoch im Betrag wesentlich höher, vorzugsweise etwa doppelt so hoch. Die Stufen W1 bis W3 sind so ausgebildet, dass die beiden Ströme S1 und S2 zu einem gemeinsamen Strom S3 zusammengeführt werden. Der Strom S3 ist hier vorzugsweise, jedoch nicht zwingend ein Schuppenstrom. Zur Erzielung eines weitgehend ausgerichteten Förderstromes auf dem Förderorgan 2b, sind auf diesem wie auch auf dem vorgeschalteten Förderorgan 2a vorzugsweise anpassbar an unterschiedliche Formate, verstellbare Anschläge 100, 101 angeordnet.
Nachfolgend wird anhand der Fig. 3a bis 3h diese Bildung des gemeinsamen Stromes S3 erläutert.The conveying speed of the streams S1, S2 are indicated by arrow V1, the speed of the conveying member 2a by V2 and the speed of the scale stream S3 by V3. The printed products 3 are shifted from the speed V1 to the speed V2 on the first conveyor element 2a. The printed products 4 are converted from the speed V1 to the speed V3 of the conveying member 2b. The speed V2 is the same direction as the speed V3, but the amount is substantially higher, preferably about twice as high. The stages W1 to W3 are designed such that the two streams S1 and S2 are brought together to form a common stream S3. The stream S3 here is preferably, but not necessarily, a shingled stream. In order to achieve a largely aligned flow on the conveying element 2b, adjustable stops 100, 101 are preferably arranged on the conveying element 2b, as well as on the upstream conveying element 2a.
This formation of the common current S3 is explained below with reference to FIGS. 3a to 3h.

Die Fig. 3a zeigt schematisch die erste Transportvorrichtung 1 und die beiden Transportorgane 2a und 2b der zweiten Transportvorrichtung 2. Auf der zweiten Transportvorrichtung 2 sind noch keine Druckprodukte vorhanden. Auf der ersten Transportvorrichtung 1 wird ein erster Strom S1 mit Druckprodukten 3 und ein zweiter Strom S2 mit Druckprodukten 4 wie oben erläutert, gefördert. Erreichen ein Druckprodukt 3 sowie ein Druckprodukt 4 die Kante 7 (Fig. 2), so gelangen diese über die Stufe W1 bzw. W2 auf die zweite Transportvorrichtung 2. Das Druckprodukt 3 gelangt hierbei auf das erste Transportorgan 2a und das Druckprodukt 4 auf das zweite Transportorgan 2b. Die Fig. 3b zeigt die Anordnung, bei welcher sich das Druckprodukt 3 auf dem ersten Transportorgan 2a und das Druckprodukt 4 auf dem zweiten Transportorgan 2b befinden. Das Druckprodukt 3 weist die Geschwindigkeit V2 auf und das Druckprodukt 4 ist auf die Geschwindigkeit V3 umgesetzt. Die Geschwindigkeit V2 ist ihrem Betrag nach wesentlich grösser, beispielsweise doppelt so gross wie die Geschwindigkeit V3. Über die Stufe W3 wird das Druckprodukt 3 auf das zweite Transportorgan 2b gefördert. Aufgrund der höheren Geschwindigkeit V2 wird das Druckprodukt 3 über das Druckprodukt 4 geschoben und auf diesem mit einem in Fig. 3a gezeigten Schuppenabstand D abgelegt. 3a schematically shows the first transport device 1 and the two transport members 2a and 2b of the second transport device 2. Are on the second transport device 2 no printed products available yet. On the first transport device 1 becomes a first stream S1 with printed products 3 and a second stream S2 with printed products 4 as explained above, promoted. Reach a printed product 3 as well as a printed product 4, the edge 7 (Fig. 2), they get over the Stage W1 or W2 on the second transport device 2. Das Printed product 3 arrives at the first transport member 2a and the printed product 4 on the second transport member 2b. The Fig. 3b shows the arrangement in which the printed product 3 on the first transport member 2a and the printed product 4 the second transport member 2b. The printed product 3 has the speed V2 and the printed product is 4 converted to speed V3. The speed V2 is much larger, for example twice as large as the speed V3. Via level W3 the printed product 3 is conveyed onto the second transport member 2b. Due to the higher speed V2 this will be Printed product 3 pushed over the printed product 4 and on this deposited with a scale distance D shown in Fig. 3a.

Gleichzeitig erreichen die nachfolgenden Druckprodukte 3' und 4' die Kante 7 und gelangen über die Stufe W1 bzw. W2 auf die zweite Transportvorrichtung 2. Das Druckprodukt 4' wird mit dem Schuppenabstand D auf das Druckprodukt 3 und das Druckprodukt 3' ebenfalls mit dem Schuppenabstand D auf das Druckprodukt 4' abgelegt. Auf dem Transportorgan 2b bildet sich auf diese Weise ein dritter Strom S3, der ein Schuppenstrom mit dem Schuppenabstand D ist. Der Vorgang wird für jedes an der Kante 7 ankommende Produktepaar wiederholt. Die auf dem Transportorgan 2b abgelegten Druckprodukte werden selbstverständlich kontinuierlich mit der Geschwindigkeit V3 in Richtung des Pfeiles 25 gefördert. Die Linien L1 bis L4 in den Fig. 3b bis 3h verbinden Kanten des gleichen Produktes und dienen lediglich dem Verständnis des Arbeitsablaufes.At the same time, the following printed products reach 3 'and 4 'the edge 7 and reach the stage via W1 or W2 second transport device 2. The printed product 4 'is with the scale distance D on the printed product 3 and the printed product 3 'also with the scale spacing D on the printed product 4 'filed. Forms on the transport member 2b this way a third stream S3 that has a shingled stream the scale distance D is. The process is for everyone at the Edge 7 incoming product pair repeated. The one on the transport organ 2b stored print products are a matter of course continuously at the speed V3 towards the Arrow 25 promoted. Lines L1 to L4 in FIGS. 3b to 3h connect edges of the same product and only serve understanding the workflow.

Wie bereits oben erläutert, sind die beiden Transportorgane 2a und 2b jeweils unabhängig voneinander von regulierbaren Antrieben 19 bzw. 20 angetrieben. Durch Einstellen der Geschwindigkeiten V2 und V3 kann ein optimaler Schuppenstrom S3 eingestellt werden.As already explained above, the two transport members 2a and 2b each independently of one another from adjustable drives 19 or 20 driven. By adjusting the speeds V2 and V3 can set an optimal shingled stream S3 become.

Nach dem Transportorgan 2b ist gemäss Fig. 2 eine dritte Transportvorrichtung 11 angeordnet, die beispielsweise ebenfalls ein endloses Transportband und einen Anschlag 12 aufweist, gegen den die Produkte des dritten Stromes S3 gefördert werden. Dieser Anschlag 12 bewirkt eine Umsetzung des Stromes S3 um 90 Grad, wobei aus einem Schuppenstrom ein weiterer Schuppenstrom S4 gebildet werden kann. Bei diesem Schuppenstrom S4 sind die Rücken 24 wiederum wie bei der ersten Transportvorrichtung 1 in Förderrichtung vorauslaufend angeordnet. Die Förderrichtung von S4 ist in Fig. 2 mit dem Pfeil 28 angegeben und diese ist somit im wesentlichen parallel zur Förderrichtung der ersten Transportvorrichtung 1.After the transport member 2b is a third according to FIG. 2 Transport device 11 arranged, for example, also has an endless conveyor belt and a stop 12, against which the products of the third stream S3 are promoted become. This stop 12 causes the current to be converted S3 by 90 degrees, with another from one stream of shingles Scale stream S4 can be formed. With this stream of shingles S4 are the backs 24 as in the first transport device 1 arranged in advance in the conveying direction. The conveying direction of S4 is indicated by the arrow 28 in FIG. 2 and this is therefore essentially parallel to the direction of conveyance the first transport device 1.

Der Schuppenstrom S4 wird beispielsweise einer in Fig. 2 lediglich angedeuteten Wickelvorrichtung 27 zugeführt, auf welcher die Druckprodukte 3 und 4 in einem Schuppenstrom aufgewickelt und mit Bändern 29 fixiert werden. Die Druckprodukte 3 und 4 können vorteilhaft in S3 oder S4 mit einer hier nicht gezeigten Adressiervorrichtung adressiert werden. Vorteilhaft ist hierzu, dass die Druckprodukte 3 und 4 eine definierte Reihenfolge besitzen. Die Druckprodukte 3 und 4 des Stromes S4 können aber auch einem hier nicht gezeigten Kreuzleger oder einer anderen Vorrichtung zur Paketbildung zugeführt werden. Die erfindungsgemässe Anordnung weist den weiteren Vorteil auf, dass Spitzen- und Standardpakete in beliebiger Reihenfolge gebildet werden können. Der Strom S4 ist vorzugsweise ein Schuppenstrom. Denkbar ist aber auch eine Ausführung, bei welcher der Strom S4 ein Produktestrom ist, bei welchem sich folgende Druckprodukte 3 und 4 sich nicht überlappen. Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, bereits den Strom S3 einer Weiterverarbeitungsvorrichtung, beispielsweise einem Kreuzleger oder einer Wickelvorrichtung zuzuführen. Auch der Strom S3 kann grundsätzlich ein Strom sein, bei dem sich folgende Druckprodukte 3 und 4 nicht überlappen.The scale stream S4, for example, only becomes one in FIG. 2 indicated winding device 27 supplied, on which the printed products 3 and 4 wound in a stream of shingles and be fixed with bands 29. The printed products 3 and 4 cannot be advantageous in S3 or S4 with one here shown addressing device can be addressed. Advantageous is that the printed products 3 and 4 are defined Order. The printed products 3 and 4 of stream S4 but can also a stacker or not shown here be supplied to another device for packet formation. The arrangement according to the invention has the further advantage on that top and standard packages in any order can be formed. Current S4 is preferably on Scale flow. An embodiment is also conceivable in which stream S4 is a product stream in which the following Print products 3 and 4 do not overlap. in principle it is also possible to use the current S3 from a further processing device, for example a stacker or to supply a winding device. Current S3 can also basically be a stream that involves the following Do not overlap printed products 3 and 4.
