Die Fig. 1a bis 1l zeigen eine Einrichtung 1 zur Herstellung von Stapelpaketen 2 aus fortlaufend, in einem Schuppenstrom 3 zugeführten Druckbogen 4. Die Druckbogen 4 werden wie in der EP 0'623'542 A1 beschrieben über eine Fördervorrichtung (nicht ersichtlich) in einem Schuppenstrom 3 einer horizontalen Stapelauflage 5 zugeführt, nachdem sie zuvor ausgerichtet und in die gewünschte Schuppenform versetzt worden sind, d.h., die Schuppenformation muss nach der Druckmaschine seitlich um 180° gewendet werden.
Ist die Schuppenformation von einem Wickel zu verarbeiten, ist vorerst ein Umwickeln auf einen anderen Wickel unerlässlich. Die Fig. 1a bis 1l zeigen weiterhin, dass die Einrichtung 1 fahrbar ausgestaltet ist und somit an die Auslage verschiedener Druckmaschinen eines Betriebes anschliessbar ist.
Die Fig. 1a zeigt die Einrichtung 1 im Leerzustand bei einlaufendem Schuppenstrom 3 und über die Stapelauflage 5 angehobenem ersten Stützelement 6 einer mehrteiligen Stützvorrichtung 7. Diese besteht weiterhin aus einem zweiten Stützelement 8, das ebenfalls in angehobenem Zustand veranschaulicht ist. Den beiden Stützelementen 6, 8 ist ein drittes Stützelement 9 zugeordnet, das ebenfalls in der ausgestossenen Lage dargestellt ist. Die die Stützvorrichtung 7 bildenden Stützelemente 6, 8, 9 sind an einer unterhalb der Stapelauflage 5, parallel zu dieser angeordneten Führung 10 entlang der Stapelauflage 5 angetrieben.
Hierzu sind die Stützelemente 6, 8, 9 beispielsweise mit entlang der Stapelauflage 5 in Papierlaufrichtung und zurück angetriebenen Zugmitteln wie Zahnriemen oder Ketten verbunden und lassen sich durch gesteuerte Stellmittel hochstellen und absenken. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Antriebsanordnung für die Stützvorrichtung 7, insbesondere Stützelement 9 ist in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Letztere vermittelt eine an einem Gestell der Einrichtung 1 befestigte, seitliche Führung 10, an der ein entlang der Stapelauflage 5 verfahrbares Fahrwerk 11 angeordnet ist, an welchem das Stützelement 9 anheb- und absenkbar geführt ist. Dafür sind zwei Säulen 12 vorgesehen, an denen das drei Stützplatten 13 aufweisende Stützelement 9 von einem Pneumatikzylinder (nicht ersichtlich) senkrecht antreibbar ist. Der Antrieb des Stützelementes 9 entlang der Stapelauflage 5 erfolgt durch Zahnriemen 14, von dem sowohl der obere wie auch der untere Trum erkennbar ist. Der Antriebsmotor für Zahnriemen 14 befindet sich am entgegengesetzten Ende der Stapelauflage 5. Zahnriemen 15 ist zum Antrieb von Stützelement 6 und Zahnriemen 16 für Stützelement 8 vorgesehen. Die Zahnriemen 15 bis 17 werden jeweils um Pulleys umgelenkt, von denen eines mit einem Antriebsmotor verbunden ist, wobei Zahnriemen 16 ein Getriebemotor 17 und Zahnriemen 15 Getriebemotor 18 zugeordnet ist. Die Stützelemente 6, 8 sind wie Stützelement 9 an einem eigenen Fahrwerk (in Fig. 2 nicht veranschaulicht) befestigt und werden wie Stützelement 9 von einem Pneumatikzylinder betätigt. In Fig. 1a ist oberhalb der Stapelauflage 5 eine entlang dieser verfahrbare Pressvorrichtung 19 angeordnet, die ein auf der Stapelauflage 5 gefertigtes Stapelpaket 2 erfasst und in eine anschliessende Umreifungsvorrichtung 20 transportiert.
Von der Pressvorrichtung 19 ist in Fig. 3 ein Tragwerk 21 mit einem Pressteil 22 entgegen der Papierlaufrichtung betrachtet dargestellt. Das Tragwerk erstreckt sich quer zur Papierlaufrichtung und ist beidseits durch zwei Rollen 23 in einer stationären C-förmigen Laufschiene (nicht sichtbar) fahrbar angeordnet. An der Unterseite ist die Laufschiene 27 mit einer Zahnstange (nicht dargestellt) versehen, mit der jeweils ein Zahnrad 24 eines Fahrantriebes 25 kämmt. Der Pressteil 22 besteht aus zwei Pressplatten 26, die an einer darüber angeordneten Führungsstange 26 quer zur Papierlaufrichtung an das Format der zu verarbeitenden Druckbogen verstellbar sind. Der Aktionsbereich der Pressvorrichtung 19 erstreckt sich von der Stapelauflage 5 in die Umreifungsvorrichtung 20. Entlang der Stapelauflage 5 befindet sich ein in Papierlaufrichtung vorauslaufender Pressteil 28 der mit Pressteil 22 die Pressvorrichtung 19 bildet, die in Fig. 1a in einer Ausgangsposition steht. Bei Beginn der Stapelbildung befinden sich die Stützelemente 6, 9 der Stützvorrichtung 7 über die Stapelauflage 5 hochgefahren im Begriff der Uebernahme einer Endplatte 29, die seitlich der Einrichtung 1 aus einem Plattenmagazin zwischen die beabstandeten Stützelemente 8, 9 versetzt wird. Im dargestellten Fall handelt es sich um eine Endplatte 29, die für das in Papierlaufrichtung vordere Ende eines Stapels resp. Stapelpakets 2 vorgesehen ist. Die (vordere) Endplatte 29 wird nun zwischen den Stützelementen 8, 9 über die Stapelauflage 5 an das vordere Stapelende eines Stapels geführt, welches von Stützelement 6 aufrecht stehend gehalten wird. In Fig. 1b hat sich inzwischen das zweite Stützelement 8 von der Stapelauflage 5 nach unten entfernt und die Endplatte 29 wird nun zwischen den Stützelementen 6 und 9 gehalten. Der Sammelvorgang wird dabei aufrechterhalten und das erste Stützelement 6 der Stützvorrichtung 7 kann nun auch nach unten versetzt werden, sodass die Endplatte 29 gestützt durch Stützelement 9 am vorderen Stapelende zur Anlage kommt (siehe Fig. 1c). Während sich der Stapel auf der Stapelauflage 5 weiterentwickelt, bewegen sich die Stützelemente 6, 8 in ihre Ausgangsposition vor dem hinteren Stapelende (siehe Fig. 1d).
In der Situation gemäss Fig. 1e liegt ein Stapelpaket 2 zwischen der von dem Stützelement 9 stehend aufrecht gehaltenen Endplatte 29 und dem zweiten Stützelement 8 vor, das gemeinsam mit Stützelement 6 aus der Ausgangsposition in eine Trennposition versetzt worden ist und durch eine den Stützelementen 6, 8 zugeordnete Trennvorrichtung, beispielsweise eine solche wie in EP 0'623'542 A1 beschrieben, den ankommenden Schuppenstrom 3 vor dem Stapelbeginn unterbricht. Die nicht ersichtliche Trennvorrichtung schafft einen Spalt, in den anschliessend die Stützelemente 6 und 8 gemeinsam eingeschoben werden. Stützelement 6 übernimmt die Stützfunktion am vorderen Ende des nachfolgenden Stapels und Stützelement 8 stützt das hintere Ende des Stapelpakets 2.
Während die Stapelbildung kontinuierlich fortgesetzt wird, haben die Stützelemente 8 und 9 das Stapelpaket 2 in eine Position transportiert, wo es von einer Pressvorrichtung 19 übernommen werden soll. In dieser Position (siehe Fig. 1f) befindet sich das Stapelpaket 2 zwischen zwei Pressteilen 22, 28 der Pressvorrichtung 19, so, dass dem hinteren Ende des Stapelpakets 2 eine Endplatte 30 aus dem seitlichen Endplattenmagazin zugeführt werden kann, d.h., das Endplattenmagazin ist zwischen den Pressteilen 22, 28, näherungsweise Pressteil für das hintere Stapelpaketende angeordnet. Pressteil 22 und hinteres Stapelpaketende bzw. das dieses stützende Stützelement 8 bilden einen Spalt in den die hintere Endplatte 30 eingeschoben wird. Beide Endplatten 29 und 30 weisen die gleichen Ausmasse auf (siehe Fig. 1g).
Anschliessend werden gemäss Fig. 1h der in Papierlaufrichtung vordere Pressteil 28 und der hintere Pressteil 22 mit dazwischenliegender Endplatte 29 und 30 an die Enden des Stapelpaketes 2 angelegt und gleichzeitig die Stützelemente 8 und 9 aus dem Stapelbereich ausgefahren. Unterdessen wird auch die Stapelbildung am Ende des Schuppenstromes fortgesetzt.
Das von den Pressteilen 22, 28 erfasste Stapelpaket 2 wird nun an den Laufschienen 27 in die Umreifungsvorrichtung 20 überführt und die Stützelemente 8, 9 sind zur Uebernahme einer vorderen Endplatte 29 an dem Endplattenmagazin angekommen. Währenddem die vordere Endplatte 29 an das vordere Stapelende des sich laufend vergrössernden Stapels versetzt wird, wird das Stapelpaket 2 in der Umreifungsvorrichtung 20 endgültig abgepresst und anschliessend umreift bzw. zusammengebunden.
In Fig. 1l steht die vordere Endplatte 29 gestützt durch Stützelement 9 am vorderen Stapelende an, die Stützelemente 6, 8 sind ausgefahren und die Umreifung ist vollzogen. Die Stützelemente 6, 8 kehren beim nächsten Schritt in die Ausgangsstellung zurück, wo gemäss Fig. 1d ein neuer Stapelprozess schon begonnen hat.
1 a to 1 l show a device 1 for producing stack packs 2 from printing sheets 4 fed continuously in a shingled stream 3. The printing sheets 4 are, as described in EP 0'623'542 A1, via a conveyor device (not visible) in one Scale stream 3 is fed to a horizontal stack support 5 after it has been previously aligned and placed in the desired scale shape, ie the scale formation must be turned laterally by 180 ° after the printing press.
If the scale formation is to be processed by one wrap, it is initially essential to wrap it around another wrap. 1a to 1l further show that the device 1 is designed to be mobile and can thus be connected to the display of various printing machines of a company.
FIG. 1 a shows the device 1 in the empty state with an incoming scale flow 3 and the first support element 6 of a multi-part support device 7 raised above the stack support 5. This further consists of a second support element 8, which is also illustrated in the raised state. The two support elements 6, 8 are assigned a third support element 9, which is also shown in the ejected position. The support elements 6, 8, 9 forming the support device 7 are driven on a guide 10 arranged below the stack support 5, parallel to this, along the stack support 5.
For this purpose, the support elements 6, 8, 9 are connected, for example, to traction means, such as toothed belts or chains, which are driven along the stack support 5 in the paper running direction and back and can be raised and lowered by controlled adjusting means. An embodiment of the drive arrangement for the support device 7, in particular support element 9, is shown in FIG. 2. The latter provides a lateral guide 10, which is fastened to a frame of the device 1 and on which a carriage 11 which is movable along the stack support 5 and on which the support element 9 can be raised and lowered is arranged. For this purpose, two columns 12 are provided, on which the support element 9, which has three support plates 13, can be driven vertically by a pneumatic cylinder (not shown). The support element 9 is driven along the stack support 5 by toothed belts 14, of which both the upper and the lower run can be seen. The drive motor for toothed belt 14 is located at the opposite end of the stack support 5. Toothed belt 15 is provided for driving support element 6 and toothed belt 16 for support element 8. The toothed belts 15 to 17 are each deflected around pulleys, one of which is connected to a drive motor, toothed belt 16 being associated with a geared motor 17 and toothed belt 15 with a geared motor 18. The support elements 6, 8, like the support element 9, are fastened to their own undercarriage (not illustrated in FIG. 2) and, like the support element 9, are actuated by a pneumatic cylinder. In FIG. 1 a, a pressing device 19, which can be moved along the stack support 5, is arranged above the stack support 5 and detects a stack package 2 produced on the stack support 5 and transports it into a subsequent strapping device 20.
3 shows a supporting structure 21 with a pressing part 22 viewed from the pressing device 19 in the opposite direction of the paper travel. The supporting structure extends transversely to the paper running direction and is arranged to be movable on both sides by two rollers 23 in a stationary C-shaped running rail (not visible). On the underside, the running rail 27 is provided with a toothed rack (not shown) with which a toothed wheel 24 of a travel drive 25 meshes. The press part 22 consists of two press plates 26 which can be adjusted to the format of the printed sheets to be processed on a guide rod 26 arranged above them, transversely to the paper running direction. The area of action of the pressing device 19 extends from the stacking support 5 into the strapping device 20. Along the stacking support 5 there is a pressing part 28 which leads in the paper running direction and which together with the pressing part 22 forms the pressing device 19, which is in a starting position in FIG. 1a. At the beginning of the stack formation, the support elements 6, 9 of the support device 7 are raised via the stack support 5 in the concept of taking over an end plate 29 which is displaced from the side of the device 1 from a plate magazine between the spaced support elements 8, 9. In the illustrated case, it is an end plate 29 which, for the front end of a stack in the paper travel direction. Stack package 2 is provided. The (front) end plate 29 is now guided between the support elements 8, 9 via the stack support 5 to the front stack end of a stack which is held upright by the support element 6. In Fig. 1b, the second support element 8 has now moved downward from the stacking support 5 and the end plate 29 is now held between the support elements 6 and 9. The collecting process is maintained and the first support element 6 of the support device 7 can now also be moved downwards, so that the end plate 29 comes to rest on the front end of the stack, supported by the support element 9 (see FIG. 1c). As the stack continues to develop on the stack support 5, the support elements 6, 8 move into their starting position in front of the rear end of the stack (see FIG. 1d).
In the situation according to FIG. 1e, there is a stack 2 between the end plate 29, which is held upright by the support element 9, and the second support element 8, which, together with the support element 6, has been moved from the starting position into a separation position and by one of the support elements 6, 8 associated separating device, for example such as described in EP 0'623'542 A1, interrupts the incoming scale stream 3 before the start of the stack. The separation device (not shown) creates a gap into which the support elements 6 and 8 are then inserted together. Support element 6 assumes the support function at the front end of the subsequent stack and support element 8 supports the rear end of the stack package 2.
While the stack formation continues continuously, the support elements 8 and 9 have transported the stack package 2 into a position where it is to be taken over by a pressing device 19. In this position (see FIG. 1f), the stack package 2 is located between two pressing parts 22, 28 of the pressing device 19, so that an end plate 30 can be fed from the side end plate magazine to the rear end of the stack package 2, ie the end plate magazine is between the pressing parts 22, 28, approximately arranged pressing part for the rear stack end. Pressed part 22 and the rear end of the stacking package or the supporting element 8 supporting this form a gap into which the rear end plate 30 is inserted. Both end plates 29 and 30 have the same dimensions (see Fig. 1g).
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 1h, the front pressed part 28 and the rear pressed part 22 with the end plate 29 and 30 in between are placed against the ends of the stacking package 2 and at the same time the support elements 8 and 9 are moved out of the stacking area. Meanwhile, stacking continues at the end of the shingled stream.
The stack of packs 2 gripped by the pressed parts 22, 28 is now transferred to the strapping device 20 on the running rails 27 and the support elements 8, 9 have arrived at the end plate magazine for taking over a front end plate 29. While the front end plate 29 is being moved to the front stack end of the continuously increasing stack, the stack package 2 is finally pressed off in the strapping device 20 and then strapped or bound together.
In Fig. 1l, the front end plate 29 is supported by the support element 9 at the front end of the stack, the support elements 6, 8 are extended and the strapping is completed. In the next step, the support elements 6, 8 return to the starting position, where, according to FIG. 1d, a new stacking process has already started.
