Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for centering a scale flow of printed products, comprising a driven conveyor having at least one transport member which moves the scale flow horizontally and with a arranged on a portion of the conveyor frame, are provided on the driven means for laterally aligning the scale flow ,
  • This means having a first seen in the transport direction laterally arranged left alignment unit and a second seen in the transport direction laterally right alignment unit.
  • Devices of the type mentioned are used in particular in the field of print finishing. For example, they are used to load rotary cutters, bar outriggers, stackers and the like with printed products.
  • the individual products of the scale flow can also be unprinted and individually folded or unfolded sheets.
  • a device of the type mentioned has become known from US 4,015,843. This serves to center a scale flow from newspapers. On a frame endless bands are placed laterally around rolls. These bands form a funnel-shaped inlet area in which disordered printed products of the scale flow are detected and centered. For higher speeds, this device is not suitable.
  • a device has become known in which the horizontal guidance is effected by conveyor belts, which are arranged at least partially displaceable transversely to the transport direction and by means of an adjusting device together with an adjacent outer transport member are adjustable.
  • the vertical guide is made by lateral stop strips, which can also be arranged funnel-shaped.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which is less expensive to produce and with the even at relatively high conveying speeds a scale flow can be centered.
  • the centering should also be reliable, if the product offset is comparatively large.
  • the object is achieved in a device according to the invention in that means are provided which loosen the scale flow from below. It has been found that such a loosening supports the centering surprisingly effective, even at higher speeds, for example at a flow rate of 1 m / s or more.
  • the loosening is done by shaking the scale flow. The scale flow is thus shaken up from below and loosened up. This can be done constructively with very simple and robust parts.
  • the loosening is carried out by elevations of the transport member.
  • these elevations are arranged on transport rollers which extend transversely to the transport direction.
  • the loosening is preferably carried out already in the inlet area or in front of this inlet area.
  • a particularly effective centering at high speeds is achieved if, according to an embodiment of the invention, the two alignment units, viewed in the conveying direction, first form an inlet area and then a calming area.
  • the inlet region has, according to an embodiment of the invention driven vertical rollers over which at least one endless belt is guided. This inlet area is preferably funnel-shaped.
  • the calming area has a plurality of vertical rollers which are at least partially free, so that the scale flow in this calming area is guided directly on these vertical rollers. Between these vertical rollers, the transport member is free, so there are no bands or baffles here. The rollers are round and no eccentric. Thus, the scale flow does not receive any lateral shaking movement in the calming area, but is continuously aligned laterally. Experiments have shown that lateral bands in the calming area would prevent any protruding corners of the individual products from being able to settle again. If the individual products are guided on vertical rollers in this calming area, then such upstanding product corners can be replaced. Preferably also in the inlet area no lateral shaking movement, but only a loosening up from below.
  • the apparatus 1 shown in Figure 1 is used for conveying and centering of the scale flow 2 shown in Figure 2 in the direction of arrow 18.
  • a conveyor 4 is provided which has a transport member 5 which has a plurality of driven transport rollers 14.
  • These transport rollers 14 are rotatably mounted on lateral bearing rails 23 and driven by a drive member not shown here so that all the transport rollers 14 rotate in the same direction and speed about its axis 17 ( Figure 4).
  • the rollers 14 are each arranged at a distance from each other. There is thus a space between adjacent rollers.
  • the rollers 14 are driven in the direction of arrow 19, as Figure 4 shows.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show only a portion of the conveyor 4, which connects the scale flow 2 of the device 1 and leads away from this again.
  • the transport member 5 is mounted on a frame 6 which is arranged in a portion of the conveyor 4.
  • the two alignment units 8 and 9 are mounted on frame 6 . As seen in the transport direction, the alignment unit 8 is located on the left side and the alignment unit 9 on the right side of the conveyor 4.
  • the two alignment units 8 and 9 each have a bearing plate 13 on which a plurality of vertical rollers 10 and 11 are mounted on the underside. These rollers 10 and 11 are each arranged at a distance from each other and also driven.
  • the drive can be the one here be, which drives the transport member 5 and the transport rollers 14.
  • the two alignment units 8 and 9 form means 7 for centering the scale flow 2 and are mirror-inverted.
  • the transport rollers 11 are arranged in an inlet region E and run in the direction of arrow 18 seen conical.
  • the inlet region E is thus funnel-shaped.
  • the two alignment units 8 and 9 each have an endless belt 12, which is guided around the rollers 11.
  • the bands 12 are arranged in a lower region of the vertical rollers 11 and thus directly above the transport rollers 14.
  • the bands 12 are driven by the rollers 11 and cooperate with the scale flow 2.
  • the vertical rollers in the calming area B are free, i. without tape or baffle.
  • the space between the vertical rollers 10 of the left alignment unit 8 and the rollers 10 of the right alignment unit 9 is thus free.
  • the area is also no longer funnel-shaped or conical, but the distances between opposite vertical rollers 10 are substantially equal. A slightly conical course is conceivable here.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows the centering of the scale flow 2 through the device 1.
  • the individual products 3a of the scale flow 2 shown in FIG. 2 are disordered.
  • the lateral offset of the individual products 3a can be up to about +/- 20 mm here.
  • individual products 3b of the scale flow 2 are largely centered, ie the foot edges 21 and top edges 22 of the following individual products 3 each run parallel to each other.
  • the centering or alignment of the individual products 3a takes place in the inlet region E by the driven lateral bands 12. This centering or lateral alignment is substantially supported by a loosening of the scale flow 2 in the inlet region E.
  • the loosening of the scale flow 2, in particular in the inlet region E, is effected by means 15, which are arranged on at least one of the transport rollers 14.
  • these means 15 have elevations 16 which, as can be seen, are arranged centrally and which extend in the longitudinal direction of the rollers 14.
  • FIG. 1 shows, not all transport rollers 14 have such means 15.
  • rollers 14a may be arranged without such means 15.
  • FIG. 1 shows, an arrangement is conceivable in which all rollers 14 are provided with such means 15.
  • the means 15 are not arranged on transport rollers 14 but on other non-transporting rollers or the like.
  • the means 15 are rotatably attached to the rollers 14.
  • the attachment can be done for example with a belt 24, as indicated in Figure 4.
  • the elevations 16 are here ribs which extend in the longitudinal direction of the rollers 14. But there are also other surveys, such as cams, teeth and the like conceivable.
  • three elevations 16 each are arranged on a roller 14. The distances between the elevations 16 of a roll are the same. It is also an embodiment conceivable in which less or more than three such surveys 16 are arranged.
  • the elevations 16 of a transport roller 14 may be formed differently.
  • the outer engagement surfaces of the elevations 16 may be uneven, for example ribbed or roughened.
  • the scale flow 2 or the individual products 3 is dependent on the scale flow 2 or the individual products 3 to be centered.
  • the height H is for example a few millimeters, for example 1 to 5 mm.
  • these elevations 16 strike the center of the underside 20 of the individual products 3 and thereby the scale flow 2 is loosened vertically from below by means of a shaking motion.
  • This shaking movement or loosening the friction between the bottom 20 and a top 25 of overlapping individual products 3 is reduced.
  • the loosened printed products 3 can thus move more easily and with a smaller force transversely to the transport direction.
  • in the inlet region E is thus a reliable centering or alignment possible even at higher speeds.
  • the means 15 are arranged as shown centrally of the transport rollers 14, the scale flow 2 is loosened along a center line. The shaking movement propagates from this center line on both sides to the outside and thus reduces the said friction in the entire overlap area.
  • the means 15 can also be arranged laterally offset from the center of the scale flow 2.
