Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine zuverlässige Ueberführung der Buchblocks oder Bücher in die Folgemaschine gewährleistet und eine genaue Positionierung hierzu in der Eintaktvorrichtung voraussetzt.The object of the present invention is a device of the type mentioned above to provide a reliable Transfer the book blocks or books to the following machine guaranteed and an accurate positioning in the Single-stroke device requires.

Erfindung-sgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Eintaktvorrichtung ein mit der Zuführvorrichtung förderwirksam verbundenes Förderband aufweist, auf dem die Buchblocks seitlich geführt einer mit dem Förderband antriebsverbundenen, auf die Buchblocks fördernd einwirkenden Antriebsvorrichtung zugeführt werden.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the Eintaktvorrichtung one with the feeder effective connected conveyor belt on which the book blocks laterally guided on a drive connected to the conveyor belt, on fed the book blocks promoting acting drive device become.

Anschliessend wird die Erfindung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht näher erwähnten Einzelheiten verwiesen wird, anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Subsequently, the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing, to which reference is made with respect to all unspecified details in the description, based on an embodiment. In the drawing show:
Fig. 1
a longitudinal section through a schematically illustrated embodiment of the inventive device according to line I - I in Fig. 2 and
Fig. 2
a plan view of the device shown in Figure 1.

In den Fig. 1 und 2 ist eine Einrichtung 1 zum Ueberführen von Buchblocks 2 oder Büchern auf einem Förderweg 3 für eine taktweise Verarbeitung resp. Weiterverarbeitung der Buchblocks 2 in einer Folgemaschine dargestellt. Der Einrichtung 1 ist eine Zuführvorrichtung 4 vorgeschaltet, die als Förderband ausgebildet ist, jedoch auch ein anderes zweckmässiges Fördermittel sein könnte, das die lückenlos oder in Abständen hintereinander transportierten Buchblocks an eine Eintaktvorrichtung 5 überführt, wobei die Buchblocks vorzugsweise auf dem Buchrücken stehend oder auf einer Flachseite liegend überführbar sind. Hilfsweise sind Führungswände 6, 7 oberhalb der Zuführvorrichtung 4 resp. entlang des Förderweges 3 die Druckerzeugnisse 2 beidseitig führend montiert, wobei wenigstens eine Führungswand 6, 7 zur Aenderung der Breite eines durch die Führungswände gebildeten Führungskanals 8 aufgrund der Formatvariabilität der Buchblocks 2 seitlich verstellbar ist.
Die Eintaktvorrichtung 5 besteht aus einem mit der Zuführvorrichtung 4 förderwirksam verbundenen Förderband 9, auf dem die Buchblocks 2 weiterhin seitlich geführt sind, und einer auf die Buchblocks 2 fördernd einwirkenden Antriebsvorrichtung 10. In Figs. 1 and 2, a device 1 for transferring book block 2 or books on a conveyor 3 for a cyclic processing resp. Further processing of the book blocks 2 shown in a subsequent machine. The device 1 is preceded by a feeding device 4, which is designed as a conveyor belt, but could also be another convenient funding that transferred the gapless or intermittently transported book block to a single-stroke device 5, the book blocks preferably standing on the spine or on a Flat side lying are convertible. In the alternative, guide walls 6, 7 above the feeder 4, respectively. along the conveying path 3, the printed products 2 mounted on both sides leading, at least one guide wall 6, 7 for changing the width of a guide channel formed by the guide channels 8 due to the format variability of the book block 2 is laterally adjustable.
The single-stroke device 5 consists of a conveying belt 9, which is connected to the feed device 4 in a conveyor-effective manner, on which the book blocks 2 are furthermore guided laterally, and a drive device 10 which promotes the book block 2.

Die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 ist zum gesteuerten Abbremsen resp. Stillstand und zum anschliessenden gesteuerten Beschleunigen der Buchblocks 2 ausgebildet. Hierzu ist die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 vor dem Förderende des Förderbandes 9 positioniert. Zum gesteuerten Abbremsen resp. Stillstand eines Buchblocks 2, insbesondere dessen Vorderkante 11 an einer bestimmten Stelle des Förderweges 3, vorzugsweise hinter resp. in Förderrichtung F nach der Antriebsvorrichtung 10, anzuhalten, ist ein Sensor 12, beispielsweise aus Sender 13 und Empfänger 14 gebildet, in einem Förderbereich der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 angeordnet. Der an der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 überstehende Bereich eines Buchblocks 2 ist vorteilhaft kurz zu wählen, damit die zur Beschleunigung des Buchblocks 2 in der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 verfügbare Festlänge optimal genutzt werden kann, insbesondere wenn es sich um Buchblocks 2 kleiner Formatgrösse handelt. Sobald sich ein Buchblock 2 in der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 befindet, nachdem er über das Förderband 9 und die mit grösserer Fördergeschwindigkeit als letzteres angetriebene Antriebsvorrichtung 10 die Stillstandposition in der Eintaktvorrichtung 5 erreicht hat, wird er, ausgelöst durch ein Signal der Folgemaschine, mit hoher Beschleunigung aus der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 resp. der Eintaktvorrichtung 5 abgezogen und der die Buchblocks 2 taktweise weiterverarbeitenden Folgemaschine oder einer dieser zugeordneten Fördereinrichtung (Kette) zugeführt. Hierbei bewirkt die Beschleunigung der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 zwischen dem beschleunigten Buchblock 2 und einem nachfolgenden Buchblock 2', der sich auf dem mit geringerer Geschwindigkeit (beispielsweise etwa 15 %), als die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 angetriebenen Förderband 9 befindet, eine Lücke, die verhindert, dass der nachfolgende Buchblock 2' beim Beschleunigen des vorauslaufenden Buchblocks 2 von der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 nicht miterfasst wird. Die Bildung einer Lücke zwischen abzuziehendem Buchblock 2 und nachfolgendem Buchblock 2' spielt insbesondere beim Eintaktvorgang mit kleinen Formatgrössen und geringer Förderlänge eine besondere Rolle, indem der Sensor 12 die Vorderkante von Buchblock 2' erfassen kann und den Buchblock 2' abbremsen kann. Wenn Buchblock 2' steht, muss Buchblock 2 die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 verlassen haben.
Die Zuführvorrichtung 4 und das Förderband 9 weisen etwa die gleiche Fördergeschwindigkeit auf, die sich verändern lässt. Die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 kann durch Antriebsrollen oder umlaufende Antriebsbänder 15 ausgebildet sein, die auf die Buchblocks 2 fördernd einwirken. Die Anordnungsweise von Rollen oder Bändern könnte entgegen der Darstellung in den Fig. 1 und 2 so erfolgen, dass eine Rolle oder ein umlaufendes Band an das Förderband 9 förderwirksam anschliesst und der Beschleunigung zum Eintakten dient, wobei beidseits eines Buchblocks 2 jeweils eine Führungsrolle und/oder ein Führungsband, beide mit der Fördergeschwindigkeit wie die an das Förderband 9 anschliessende Rolle oder das Band, vorzusehen ist.The drive device 10 is for controlled braking resp. Standstill and the subsequent controlled acceleration of the book block 2 formed. For this purpose, the drive device 10 is positioned in front of the conveying end of the conveyor belt 9. For controlled braking resp. Standstill of a book block 2, in particular its leading edge 11 at a certain point of the conveying path 3, preferably behind resp. in the conveying direction F according to the drive device 10, a sensor 12, for example composed of transmitter 13 and receiver 14, is arranged in a conveying region of the drive device 10. The area of a book block 2 projecting beyond the drive device 10 is advantageously short so that the fixed length available for accelerating the book block 2 in the drive device 10 can be optimally utilized, in particular if book block 2 is of a small format size. Once a book block 2 is in the drive device 10, after he has reached via the conveyor belt 9 and the drive at a greater speed than the latter driven device 10, the standstill position in the single-stroke device 5, it is triggered by a signal from the following machine, with high acceleration the drive device 10, respectively. deducted the Eintaktvorrichtung 5 and fed to the book blocks 2 cyclically further processing sequencer or one of these associated conveyor (chain). Here, causes the acceleration of the drive device 10 between the accelerated book block 2 and a subsequent book block 2 ', which is on the lower speed (for example, about 15%) than the drive device 10 driven conveyor belt 9, a gap that prevents the subsequent book block 2 'is not included in the acceleration of the leading book block 2 of the drive device 10. The formation of a gap between deductible book block 2 and subsequent book block 2 'plays a special role especially when Eintaktvorgang with small format sizes and low conveying length by the sensor 12, the front edge of book block 2' can capture and decelerate the book block 2 '. If book block 2 'stands, book block 2 must have left the drive device 10.
The feeding device 4 and the conveyor belt 9 have approximately the same conveying speed, which can be changed. The drive device 10 may be formed by drive rollers or rotating drive belts 15, which act on the book blocks 2 promotional. The arrangement of rolls or belts could, contrary to the illustration in FIGS. 1 and 2, take place in such a way that a roller or a circulating belt adjoins the conveyor belt 9 in a conveyor-effective manner and the acceleration serves for clocking in, with a guide roller on both sides of a book block 2 and / or. or a guide band, both with the conveying speed as the subsequent to the conveyor belt 9 roll or the belt is to be provided.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Ausführungsform, bei der die beidseits auf einen, auf dem Rücken stehend transportierten Buchblock 2 einwirkende Antriebsvorrichtung 10 aus jeweils einem auf einer Seite des Förderweges 3, umlaufenden Antriebsband 15 bzw. Zugmittel besteht, die um senkrechte Achsen antreibbarer Rollen 17, 18, 19; 20, 21, 22 angetrieben sind. Die Rollenanordnungen sind vorteilhaft so gewählt, dass die Antriebsbänder 15, 16 jeweils Fördertrums 23, 24 bilden, die einen sich in Förderrichtung F (flach) verengenden Einzugsresp. Förderspalt 25 begrenzen, so dass die Buchblocks 2 schonend durch die Fördertrums 23, 24 erfasst werden können. Von den Rollenanordnungen 17 bis 19, 20 bis 22 ist wenigstens eine 17, 18, 19 an einer Seite eines Buchblocks 2 mittels Feder nachgiebig abgestützt. Eine entsprechende Abstützvorrichtung 26 ist in Fig. 2 veranschaulicht. Der Antrieb der Rollenanordnungen erfolgt jeweils über Rolle 17, 20, wie in Fig. 1 schematisch festgehalten. Hierzu ist ein Elektromotor 27 mit einem Getriebe vorgesehen, der über ein Verteilgetriebe 28 einerseits mit dem Förderband 9 und andererseits mit den Rollen 17, 20 der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 antriebsverbunden ist. Daraus ergibt sich eine feste Antriebskoppelung zwischen Förderband 9 und Antriebsvorrichtung 10.
Selbstverständlich könnten Förderband 9 und die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 eigene drehwinkelgesteuerte Antriebsmotoren aufweisen, mit denen sich das Geschwindigkeitsverhältnis von Förderband 9 und der Antriebsvorrichtung 10 einstellen bzw. verändern lässt.
Dadurch, dass die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 bzw. die Rollenanordnungen 17, 18, 19; 20, 21, 22 einen Druck auf die Seitenflächen der auf dem Rücken stehend transportierten Buchblocks 2, 2' ausüben, entsteht ein Rollreibungsschluss zwischen Buchblock 2 und den Fördertrums 25 der Antriebsbänder 15, 16, der sich auf einen Reibungsabschnitt der Antriebsbänder 15, 16 erstreckt. Eine ähnliche Reibungswirkung tritt beispielsweise auch dort ein, wo anstelle von Rollenanordnungen jeweils eine um eine senkrechte Achse angetriebene Rolle zum Transport der Buchblocks 2 eingesetzt wird.1 and 2 show an embodiment in which the on both sides of a, on the back transported transported book block 2 acting drive device 10 consists of one on one side of the conveyor 3, circulating drive belt 15 and traction means which can be driven about vertical axes Rollers 17, 18, 19; 20, 21, 22 are driven. The roller arrangements are advantageously selected such that the drive belts 15, 16 each form a conveying run 23, 24 which have a drawing-in response narrowing in the conveying direction F (flat). Limit conveying gap 25, so that the book block 2 gently by the conveying run 23, 24 can be detected. Of the roller assemblies 17 to 19, 20 to 22, at least one 17, 18, 19 is resiliently supported on one side of a book block 2 by means of a spring. A corresponding support device 26 is illustrated in FIG. 2. The drive of the roller assemblies is in each case via roller 17, 20, as shown schematically in Fig. 1. For this purpose, an electric motor 27 is provided with a transmission, which is drive-connected via a distribution gear 28 on the one hand with the conveyor belt 9 and on the other hand with the rollers 17, 20 of the drive device 10. This results in a fixed drive coupling between conveyor belt 9 and drive device 10.
Of course, conveyor belt 9 and the drive device 10 could have their own rotation angle controlled drive motors with which the speed ratio of conveyor belt 9 and the drive device 10 can be adjusted or changed.
Characterized in that the drive device 10 and the roller assemblies 17, 18, 19; 20, 21, 22 exert a pressure on the side surfaces of the book block 2, 2 'transported on the back, creates a rolling frictional engagement between the book block 2 and the conveying run 25 of the drive belts 15, 16, which extends to a friction section of the drive belts 15, 16 , A similar frictional effect occurs, for example, where instead of a roller assemblies each driven by a vertical axis roller for transporting the book block 2 is used.

Im Fertigungsprozess werden Buchblocks 2 durch die Zuführvorrichtung 4 dem zur Eintaktvorrichtung 5 gehörenden Förderband 9 zugeführt, wobei die Buchblocks 2 vorzugsweise auf dem Buchrücken stehend und in Förderrichtung F ausgerichtet sind. Die Buchblocks 2 können sowohl in Abständen als auch lückenlos dem Förderband 9 übergeben werden. Auf dem Förderband 9 erreichen die Buchblocks 2' die Antriebsvorrichtung 10, die aus zwei sich gegenüberliegenden Rollenanordnungen 17 bis 19 und 20 bis 22 besteht. Die an den Rollen 17 bis 22 umlaufenden Bänder 15, 16 weisen eine um etwa 15 % höhere Geschwindigkeit auf als das Förderband 9. Dadurch wird der ankommende Buchblock 2, 2' vorgezogen, vom Sensor 12 an der Vorderkante erfasst und in eine Stillstandposition abgebremst. Eine taktweise arbeitende Folgemaschine 30 löst über eine Steuerung 31 die Beschleunigung des in der Eintaktvorrichtung 5 resp. Antriebsvorrichtung 10 unter Reibschluss stehenden Buchblocks 2 aus. Diese Beschleunigung ist so gross, dass der fortbewegte Buchblock 2 die Eintaktvorrichtung 5 verlassen hat, bevor der nächstfolgende, sich auf dem Förderband 9 befindende Buchblock 2' die Antriebsvorrichtung 10 erreicht hat. Von letzterer wird der nachfolgende Buchblock 2 in die Stillstandposition versetzt, und anschliessend, ausgelöst durch die Folgemaschine 30, beschleunigt.In the manufacturing process, book blocks 2 are fed through the feeder 4 belonging to the single-stroke device 5 conveyor belt 9 fed, the book blocks 2 preferably on the spine standing and aligned in the conveying direction F. The Book block 2 can be both in intervals and completely the Conveyor belt 9 are handed over. On the conveyor belt 9 reach the book blocks 2 'the drive device 10, which consists of two opposite roller assemblies 17 to 19 and 20 to 22 exists. The circulating on the rollers 17 to 22 bands 15, 16 have about 15% higher speed than that Conveyor belt 9. As a result, the incoming book block 2, 2 ' pulled forward, detected by the sensor 12 at the front edge and in slowed down a standstill position.
