Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Fördereinrichtung zum Transport von Buchblocks oder Büchern in einer Verarbeitungslage, gebildet aus mehreren, an umlaufenden Zugmitteln in regelmässigen Abständen befestigten Einspannelementen, die entlang eines Abschnittes der Zugmittel beabstandet sich gegenüberliegend eine Förderstrecke bilden, wobei die Einspannelemente einen an dem Zugmittel befestigten Support aufweisen, mit dem eine quer zur Förderrichtung der Buchblocks nachgiebig abgestützte Spannplatte verbunden ist.The invention relates to a conveyor for transporting book blocks or books in a processing position, formed from a plurality of clamping elements fixed to rotating traction means at regular intervals, the distance along a portion of the traction means form a conveying path, wherein the clamping elements attached to the traction means support have, with a transversely to the conveying direction of the book block resiliently supported clamping plate is connected.

Einrichtungen dieser Art werden zur Ueberführung von Buchblocks oder Büchern in Buchbindeanlagen eingesetzt.Devices of this type are used for transferring book blocks or books in bookbinding systems.

Nach der DE 24 28 619 A wird bei einer Fördereinrichtung zum Transport von Buchblocks eine sog. Plattenkettenfederung mit in der Buchblockförderbahn sich gegenüberliegend angeordneten und einem die Plattenketten im Einspannbereich der Buchblocks abstützenden, flexiblen Führungsband verwendet, das an in einem Träger gelagerten Stützkörpern anliegt.After DE 24 28 619 A In a conveying device for transporting book blocks, a so-called plate chain suspension is arranged in the book block conveying path opposite one another and one the plate chains in the clamping area of the book block supporting, flexible guide belt used, which abuts against supporting bodies mounted in a carrier.

Das DE 1873135 U vermittelt eine Plattenkettenfördereinrichtung mit an den Kettengliedern befestigten Tragplatten, die an der dem Buchblock zugewandten Seite mit einem weichen Belag aus Gummi oder Kunststoff, vorzugsweise in geschäumter Form, versehen sind.The DE 1873135 U teaches a plate chain conveyor with attached to the chain links support plates, which are provided on the side facing the book block with a soft rubber or plastic covering, preferably in foamed form.

Aus der DE 198 12 240 C1 geht ein Transportelement zum Halten von Buchblocks auf einer Buchblock-Tanspartvorrichtung hervor, das ein in Beaufschlagungsrichtung elastisch ausgebildetes plattenförmiges Klemmelement aufweist, bei dem eine erste Platte und eine zweite Platte durch elastische verbindungsmittel in voneinander beabstandeter, paralleler Ausrichtung zueinander gehalten sind.From the DE 198 12 240 C1 For example, a transport member for holding book blocks on a book block Tanspartvorrichtung, which has a resiliently in the loading direction plate-shaped clamping element, in which a first plate and a second plate are held by elastic connecting means in spaced, parallel alignment with each other.

Eine Fördereinrichtung, wie bei DE' 619 A, ist mit Zuverlässigkeitsmängeln behaftet, da eine Dickenabweichung eines Buchblockes sich über die Stützkörper und das Führungsband auch auf die voraus- und nachlaufenden Einspannelemente auswirkt. Eine solche Einrichtung ist unflexibel und nicht ausreichend anpasaungsfahig.A conveyor, as in DE '619 A, is subject to reliability deficiencies, since a thickness variation of a book block also affects the leading and trailing clamping elements via the support bodies and the guide belt. Such a device is inflexible and can not be adequately purged.

Eine Einrichtung wie in DE'135 U ist ebenfalls unzureichend anpassungsfähig und stark verschleissbehaftet.A device as in DE'135 U is also insufficiently adaptable and heavily prone to wear.

Eine Einrichtung wie in DE'240 C1 offenbart, dürfte sich als nicht dauerhaft erweisen und durch ein anzuwendendes vulkanisieren der Metallplatten mit den Gummielementen mit erheblichen Herstellaufwand verbunden sein.A device as disclosed in DE'240 C1, should prove to be non-durable and connected by a vulkanisieren be applied to the metal plates with the rubber elements with considerable manufacturing effort.

DieThe CH 370 052 A CH 370 052 A betrifft eine Fördereinrichtung zum Transport von Buchblöcken zwischen zwei umlaufenden Zugmitteln, die aus aneinandergereihten Gelenkplatten gebildet sind, zwischen denen die Buchblocks zum Transport gehalten sind.relates to a conveyor for transporting book blocks between two rotating traction means, which are formed of juxtaposed hinge plates, between which the book blocks are held for transport.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, eine Fördereinrichtung der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, mit der eine optimale Funktionsweise gewährleistbar ist, die sich mit einfachen Mitteln herstellen lässt und keine Unterhaltsansprüche stellt.Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a conveyor of the type described above, with the optimal operation can be ensured, which can be produced by simple means and does not require maintenance.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass der als von dem Zugmittel lösbar verbundene Platte ausgebildete Support Ausnehmungen in an der Spannplatte ausgebildeten Falzstegen durchsetzt, welche Ausnehmungen in Beaufschlagungsrichtung der Spannplatte länger als die Dicke des die Falzstege durchsetzenden support ausgebildet sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the trained as a releasably connected to the tension plate plate support recesses in formed on the clamping plate folding webs , which recesses are formed in the direction of loading the clamping plate longer than the thickness of the Falzstege enforcing support.

Eine derartige Ausführung erweist sich gegenüber den bekannten Konstruktionen als einfach und vorteilhaft, insbesondere wenn zwischen Support und Spannplatte eine elastische Einlage angeordnet ist, die einen dämpfenden Einspanndruck bewirkt und eine günstige Reaktionsfähigkeit aufweist. Gleichzeitig kann die Einlage die Spannplatte in der Ruhelage halten.Such an embodiment proves to be compared to the known constructions as simple and advantageous, especially when between support and clamping plate an elastic insert is arranged, which causes a damping clamping pressure and has a favorable responsiveness. At the same time, the insert can hold the clamping plate in the rest position.

Vorteilhaft sind die Falzstege sich gegenüberliegend an jeweils einem Ende der Spannplatte ausgebildet.Advantageously, the fold webs are formed opposite one another at each end of the clamping plate.

Damit sich die Spannplatte mehr als nur über ihre eigene Elastizitätsgrenze bewegen kann, sind die Ausnehmungen in Beaufschlagungsrichtung der Spannplatte länger als die Dicke des die Falzstege durchsetzenden Supports ausgebildet.Thus, the clamping plate can move more than just about their own elastic limit, the recesses in the direction of loading the clamping plate are longer than the thickness of the Falzstege enforcing support formed.

Im Sinne einer einfachen Ausführung sind die die Ausnehmungen der Falzstege durchsetzenden Supportenden als vorstehende Lappen ausgebildet, sodass sich der an dem Support zurückstehende Teil als Führung der Spannplatte erweist.In the sense of a simple embodiment, the recesses of the folding webs passing through support ends are formed as projecting lobes, so that the part projecting back on the support proves to be a guide of the clamping plate.

Vorzugsweise sind die Ausnehmungen quer zur Förderrichtung sich gegenüberliegend, also oben und unten an der Spannplatte angeordnet, sodass eine relativ enge Anordnungsweise der Einspannelemente entlang der Förderstrecke entstehen kann.Preferably, the recesses are arranged transversely to the conveying direction opposite one another, that is to say above and below on the clamping plate, so that a relatively narrow arrangement of the clamping elements along the conveying path can arise.

Selbstverständlich könnten die Ausnehmungen für die Lappen auch in Förderrichtung sich gegenüberliegend angeordnet sein.Of course, the recesses for the lobes could also be arranged opposite each other in the conveying direction.

Zweckmässig ist der Support seitlich des Zugmittels an diesem mittels Verbindungselementen an Haltern befestigt, so dass die Einspannelemente austausch- und leicht montierbar sind.Suitably, the support is attached to the side of the traction means on this means of fasteners to holders, so that the clamping elements are interchangeable and easy to install.

Als Zugmittel erweist sich vorteilhaft eine Getriebekette, deren Kettenglieder um vertikale Achsen schwenkbar angeordnet sind.As a traction means proves advantageous a transmission chain, the chain links are arranged pivotably about vertical axes.

Wenn die Halter als Aussen- oder Innenlasche eines Kettengliedes ausgebildet sind und jeweils einen zur Befestigung des Supports nach oben und unten abstehenden Schenkel eines Winkels aufweisen, dann lässt sich das Gewicht des Zugmittels ohne Verlust auf die Festigkeitseigenschaften und ohne Inanspruchnahme von mehr Raum optimieren.If the holders are designed as outer or inner lugs of a chain link and in each case have a leg of an angle projecting upwards and downwards for attachment of the support, then the weight of the pulling means can be optimized without loss of the strength properties and without requiring more space.

Damit der Raum zwischen Support und Spannplatte genutzt werden kann, ist die Einlage in Beaufschlagungsrichtung zweckmässig mit Durchtrittsöffnungen für die Verbindungselemente ausgebildet.Thus, the space between the support and clamping plate can be used, the insert is expediently formed in the direction of loading with through openings for the connecting elements.

Für eine günstige Abstützung der Spannplatte auf dem Support kann die Einlage seitlich der Verbindungselemente verlaufende der Spannplatte oder dem Support zugewandte Stützleisten aufweisen.For a favorable support of the clamping plate on the support, the insert may laterally of the connecting elements extending the clamping plate or the support facing support strips.

Als Verbindungselemente eignen sich Schraube und Mutter oder Nieten.Suitable fasteners are screw and nut or rivets.

Zur optimalen Nutzung der Einspannelemente ist die Spannplatte mit den Verbindungselementen zugeordneten Ausnehmungen ausgebildet, so dass eine grössere Beweglichkeit der Spannplatte oder eine geringere Bauhöhe in Beaufschlagungsrichtung entstehen kann oder dass komplette Einspannelemente mit dem Support vernietet werden können.For optimum use of the clamping elements, the clamping plate is formed with the connecting elements associated recesses, so that a greater mobility of the clamping plate or a lower height can occur in Beaufschlagungsrichtung or that complete clamping elements can be riveted to the support.
