Abstract

The gather-stitcher comprises a stitch machine, an incrementally fed output station, a feed device to feed the brochures along a trim line and transporting components, which carry the brochures from the output station to the feed device. Sensors (46) transmit phase positions of the machine and signals from the transport components to a control system (48) which processes these signals to control one of the transport components, so that at any phase of the stitch machine the nominal trim line is on the trim plane independently of the brochure width.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sammelhefter für Broschuren mit einer Heftmaschine, einer betriebsmäßig schrittweise mit den Broschuren beschickten Ausgabestation, einer eine Schnittebene definierenden Vorderschnittmesseranordnung zum Beschnitt der Broschuren entlang einer jeweiligen Soll-Schnittlinie und mit Transportmittelkomponenten, welche die Broschuren betriebsmäßig von der Ausgabestation zur Vorderschnittmesseranordnung transportieren.The invention relates to a saddle stitcher for brochures with a Stapler, one operationally step by step with the brochures fed output station, one defining a cutting plane Front cutting blade assembly for trimming the brochures along a respective desired cutting line and with means of transport components, which the Brochures operational from the issuing station to Transport front cutter assembly.

Derartige Sammelhefter wurden von der Brehmer Buchbindereimaschinen GmbH, Leipzig unter der Typenbezeichnung ST300 vertrieben und sind so konzipiert, dass die Broschuren bis zur erfolgten Heftung und anschließenden Bereitstellung in der Ausgabestation in Längsrichtung der Rücken der Broschuren transportiert und in der Ausgabestation mittels eines Auswerfers an Auslagebänder übergeben werden, welche die Broschuren sodann quer zu ihrer bisherigen Transportrichtung weiterbefördern, und zwar in Richtung auf einen Trimmer, in welchem zunächst ein Vorderkantenschnitt und anschließend ein Kopfschnitt und ein Fußschnitt erfolgt.Such saddle stitchers were from the Brehmer Buchbindereimaschinen GmbH, Leipzig under the Type designation ST300 sold and are designed so that the Brochures until the stapling and subsequent provision in the Delivery station transported in the longitudinal direction of the backs of the brochures and handed over in the output station by means of an ejector to delivery belts which the brochures are then transversal to their previous ones Transport direction, in the direction of a trimmer, in which first a leading edge section and then a head section and a foot cut takes place.

Durch diese Änderung der Transportrichtung wird die Breite der Broschuren zu einem prozessrelevanten geometrischen Parameter, der durch entsprechende Verstellungen der Phasenlagen der von diesem Parameter betroffenen Maschinenkomponenten berücksichtigt wird. Hierdurch entsteht ein nicht unerheblicher Aufwand zur Umrüstung eines Sammelhefters für einen Auftragswechsel, bei dem sich insbesondere auch die Breite der Broschuren ändert. This change in the direction of transport increases the width of the brochures a process-relevant geometric parameter, which by appropriate Adjustments of the phase positions of the affected by this parameter Machine components is taken into account. This does not create one insignificant effort to convert a saddle stitcher for a Change of order, especially the width of the brochures changes.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen eingangs genannten Sammelhefter so auszubilden, dass sich der Umrüstaufwand bei einem Auftragswechsel reduziert, bei welchem sich die Breite der Broschuren verändert.The invention is therefore based on the object, an aforementioned To design saddlestitchers so that the conversion effort in a Order change reduced, at which the width of the brochures changed.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sind Sensoren vorgesehen, welche die Phasenlagen der Heftmaschine und einer der Transportmittelkomponenten definierende Signale abgeben, und eine diese Signale verarbeitende Steuerung, welche die eine der Transportmittelkomponenten derart ansteuert, dass sich bei einem vorbestimmten Phasenwinkel der Heftmaschine die jeweilige Soll-Schnittlinie unabhängig von der Breite der jeweiligen Broschur in der Schnittebene befindet.To solve this problem, sensors are provided which the Phases of the stapler and one of the transport components emit defining signals, and one of these signals processing Control, which controls one of the means of transport such, that at a predetermined phase angle of the stapler the respective nominal cutting line regardless of the width of the respective brochure in the cutting plane is located.

Dies erspart bei einem Auftragswechsel, bei dem sich die Breite der Broschuren ändert, eine Verstellung der Phasenlage des Antriebs für die Vorderschnittmesseranordnung und erbringt darüber hinaus den Vorteil, dass sich im Falle eines gemeinsamen Antriebes für die Heftmaschine und die Vorderschnittmesseranordnung ein stets gleichbleibendes Belastungsprofil dieses Antriebes ergibt und dass dieser Antrieb für das spezielle Belastungsprofil ausgelegt werden kann. Damit wird möglichen Funktionsstörungen vorgebeugt und Leistungseinschränkungen entgegengewirkt.This saves on a job change in which the width of the brochures changes, an adjustment of the phase position of the drive for the Vorschnittmesseranordnung and also provides the advantage that in the case of a common drive for the stapler and the Front cutting blade arrangement always a constant load profile This drive results in and that this drive for that special Loading profile can be designed. This will be possible Dysfunctions prevented and performance restrictions counteracted.

Die Merkmale der Erfindung sind nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügten Zeichnungen dargelegt. Dabei ist ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel zugrundegelegt, bei welchem als angesteuerte Transportmittelkomponente ein Auswurfantrieb eines in der Ausgabestation vorgesehenen Broschurenauswerfers vorgesehen ist.

Der Heftmaschinenantrieb 42 dient darüber hinaus auch dem Antrieb der Anleger 10, 12, 14 über eine diesen gemeinsame Antriebswelle 15 sowie der Beschnittvorrichtung 31 (siehe Fig. 2b).The stapler drive 42 also serves to drive the Feeder 10, 12, 14 via a common drive shaft 15 and the Trimming device 31 (see Fig. 2b).

Jedenfalls in der Strecklage des Kurbeltriebes 40 und wenigstens bis zu einem bestimmten Kurbelwinkel - beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel von 16 Grad - sind die Ambossleiste 36.1 und die Fingerleiste 36.2 einerseits und das Transporttrum 34.1 des Stetigförderers 34 überlappt, so dass die Ambossleiste 36.1 eine lagegerecht auf dem Transporttrum 34.1 befindliche Broschur 30 unterfangen und die Finger 36.3 der Fingerleiste 36.2 bei abgestellter Steuerleiste 36.4 die Broschur 30 gegen die Ambossleiste 36.1 pressen können. Dies erfolgt bei übereinstimmenden Geschwindigkeiten des Fingerleistensystems 36 und des Stetigförderers 34 - im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel bei einem Kurbelwinkel von 16 Grad, der somit einen Greifpunkt definiert. Die Finger 36.3 bleiben bis zum Erreichen der Decklage des Kurbeltriebes 40 an die übernommene Broschur 30 angepresst. Beim hier erfolgenden Nulldurchgang der Geschwindigkeit des Fingerleistensystems 36 erfolgt sodann eine Ablage der Broschur 30 auf der Transport- und Heftlinie 22 in einem Ablagepunkt.At least in the extended position of the crank mechanism 40 and at least up to one certain crank angle - in the present embodiment of FIG Degree - are the anvil bar 36.1 and the finger bar 36.2 one hand and the Transporttrum 34.1 of the continuous conveyor 34 overlaps, so that the anvil bar 36.1 is a correct position on the Transporttrum 34.1 brochure 30th underpin and the fingers 36.3 of the finger bar 36.2 when parked Control bar 36.4 press the brochure 30 against the anvil strip 36.1 can. This occurs at matching speeds of the Fingerleistensystems 36 and the continuous conveyor 34 - in the present Embodiment at a crank angle of 16 degrees, thus a Defined grip point. The fingers remain 36.3 until reaching the top layer of the crank mechanism 40 is pressed against the acquired brochure 30. Here zero crossing of the speed of the finger strip system 36 Then there is a storage of the brochure 30 on the transport and stitching line 22nd in a storage area.

Nach erfolgtem Null-Durchgang der Geschwindigkeit des Fingerleistensystems 36 in der Decklage des Kurbeltriebes 40 kehrt das Fingerleistensystem 36 seine Bewegungsrichtung um und nimmt schließlich wieder eine dem Kurbelwinkel 0 Grad entsprechende überlappte Lage mit dem Transporttrum 34.1 des Stetigförderers 34 ein, das heißt den Startpunkt für einen weiteren Zyklus der oben beschriebenen Art.After zero crossing of the speed of the finger strip system 36 in the top layer of the crank mechanism 40, the finger strip system 36 returns its Movement direction and finally takes a crank angle 0 again Degree corresponding overlapped position with the Transporttrum 34.1 of Continuous conveyor 34, that is, the starting point for another cycle of type described above.

Das Fingerleistensystem 36 transportiert somit eine vom Stetigförderer 34 übernommene Broschur schrittweise mit einer Schrittlänge, die einer Strecke entspricht, die im Greifpunkt beginnend bis zum Erreichen des Ablagepunktes zurückgelegt wird.The finger strip system 36 thus transports one from the continuous conveyor 34 inherited brochure step by step with a stride, the one stretch corresponds to the gripping point starting to reach the storage point is covered.

Eine in einem Zyklus des Fingerleistensystems 36 vom Stetigförderer 34 übernommene und nach einem ersten Schritt auf der Transport- und Heftlinie 22 abgelegte Broschur 30 wird im nachfolgenden Zyklus erneut vom Fingerleistensystem 36 erfasst und ein weiteres Mal um die genannte Schrittlänge weiter transportiert. Für eine jeweilige Broschur 30 wiederholt sich dieser Vorgang so lange, bis sie nach erfolgter Heftung die Ausgabestation 29 erreicht hat. Hiervon ausgehend werden die Broschuren mittels Transportmitteln der Beschnittvorrichtung 31 zugeführt. Die Transportmittel umfassen jedenfalls den Broschurenauswerfer 29.2 mit einem Aufwurfantrieb 29.4 und eine Trimmerzuführung 31.3.One in a cycle of the finger strip system 36 from the continuous conveyor 34 taken over and after a first step on the transport and Stapling line 22 filed brochure 30 is again in the subsequent cycle of Fingergrade system 36 detected and a second time to said Step length transported further. For a respective brochure 30 is repeated This process until after the stapling the output station 29th has reached. On this basis, the brochures are using Transport means of the trimming device 31 supplied. The means of transport In any case, include the brochure ejector 29.2 with a Aufwurfantrieb 29.4 and a trimmer feeder 31.3.

Nach erfolgtem Ausheben der Broschuren 30 aus der Transport- und Heftlinie 22 erfolgt der weitere Transport der Broschuren 30 zunächst mittels der Auslegebänder 29.1, und zwar quer zur bis dahin durch den Stetigförderer 34 und das Fingerleistensystem 36 festgelegten Transportrichtung. Die Auslegebänder 29.1 übergeben eine jeweilige Broschur der Trimmerzuführung 31.3 (siehe Fig. 2b) welche die Broschuren 30 mit gleichförmiger Geschwindigkeit an der Beschnittvorrichtung 31 vorgesehenen - hier nicht dargestellten - Transport- und Ausrichtbändern übergibt, welche getaktet und mit einer Geschwindigkeit umlaufen, die größer ist als jene der Broschuren 30 in der Trimmerzuführung 31.3 und welche den Rücken einer jeweiligen Broschur 30 so an einem Anschlag 31.4 ausrichten, dass die Soll-Schnittlinie 31.5 in der Schnittebene 31.2 liegt (siehe Fig. 3a, 3b).After completing the leaflets 30 from the transport and Stapling line 22, the further transport of the brochures 30 is initially by means of the Auslegebänder 29.1, and that across to until then by the Continuous conveyor 34 and the finger strip system 36 set Transport direction. The delivery belts 29.1 hand over a respective brochure the trimmer feeder 31.3 (see Fig. 2b) which the brochures 30 with uniform speed provided on the trimming device 31 - Not shown here - transfers transport and alignment bands, which clocked and circulate at a speed greater than that of the Leaflets 30 in the trimmer feeder 31.3 and which the back of a respective leaflet 30 to a stop 31.4 align that the Target cutting line 31.5 lies in the cutting plane 31.2 (see Fig. 3a, 3b).

Dieser Zustand wird beim Erfindungsgegenstand sowohl beim Beschnitt breiter Broschuren 30 als auch beim Beschnitt schmaler Broschuren 30', d. h. unabhängig von der Broschurenbreite stets bei ein und demselben Phasenwinkel der Heftmaschine 28 erreicht.This condition is wider in the subject invention both in trimming Brochures 30 as well as the trimming of narrow brochures 30 ', d. H. regardless of the width of the booklet always at one and the same Phase angle of the stapler 28 reached.

Um dies zu erreichen, ist bei der hier zugrundegelegten Ausgestaltung mittels einer Steuerung 48 (siehe Fig. 4) dafür gesorgt, dass die Broschuren 30, 30' abhängig von deren Breite bei unterschiedlichen Phasenwinkeln der Heftmaschine 28 seitens des Auswerferschwertes 29.3 aus der Transport- und Heftlinie 22 ausgehoben werden. Dabei ist der Phasenwinkel der Heftmaschine 28 zum Zeitpunkt des Aushebens einer Broschur 30, 30' aus der Transport - und Heftlinie 22 um so größer je kleiner die Breite der Broschur 30, 30' ist und er wird so gewählt, dass sich bei Erreichen eines bestimmten ersten Phasenwinkels ϕB nach erfolgtem Ausheben der Broschur 30, 30' aus der Transport- und Heftlinie 22 die nachlaufenden Kanten der Broschuren 30, 30' lediglich abhängig von der Breite der von den Broschuren 30, 30' abzutrennenden Streifen 31.6 und von den Geschwindigkeitsverhältnissen der Trimmerzuführung 31.3 und der an der Beschnittvorrichtung 31 vorgesehenen Transport- und Ausrichtbänder im Wesentlichen an ein und demselben Ort befinden, und dass nach Erreichen eines gegenüber dem ersten größeren zweiten Phasenwinkels ϕC die Soll-Schnittlinie 31.5 unabhängig von der Breite der Broschur 30, 30' in der Schnittebene 31.2 liegt (siehe Figuren 3a und 3b).In order to achieve this, the design based on this is by means of a controller 48 (see FIG. 4) ensures that the brochures 30, 30 ' depending on their width at different phase angles of Stapling machine 28 on the part of the ejector blade 29.3 from the transport and Stapling line 22 to be excavated. The phase angle is the Stapling machine 28 at the time of lifting a brochure 30, 30 'from the Transport and stitching line 22, the larger the smaller the width of the brochure 30, 30 'is and he is chosen so that when reaching a certain first Phase angle φB after the lifting of the brochure 30, 30 'from the Transport and stitching line 22 the trailing edges of the brochures 30, 30 ' only depending on the width of the brochures 30, 30 ' to be separated strip 31.6 and the speed ratios of Trimmer feed 31.3 and provided on the trimming device 31 Transport and alignment straps essentially in the same place and that after reaching one over the first larger one second phase angle φC, the desired cutting line 31.5 regardless of the width the brochure 30, 30 'lies in the cutting plane 31.2 (see FIGS. 3a and 3b).

Zur Realisierung dessen erfolgt eine entsprechende Ansteuerung des Auswurfantriebes 29.4 seitens der Steuerung 48, die zur Abgabe eines entsprechenden Ansteuersignals die von Sensoren 46 abgegebenen Signale verarbeitet, welche die Phasenlagen der Heftmaschine 28, genauer des Heftmaschinenantriebs 42, und des Auswurfantriebs definieren (siehe Fig. 4).To implement this, a corresponding control of the Ejection drive 29.4 on the part of the controller 48, the delivery of a corresponding control signal emitted by sensors 46 signals processed, which the phase angles of the stapler 28, more precisely Stapling machine drive 42, and the ejector drive define (see Fig. 4).

Den obigen Darlegungen ist zwar als angesteuerte Transportmittelkomponente der Broschurenauswerfer 29.2 bzw. dessen Auswurfantrieb 29.4 zugrundegelegt, es liegt jedoch im Rahmen der Erfindung, beispielsweise die Trimmerzuführung 31.3 so anzusteuern, dass bei einem vorbestimmten Phasenwinkel der Heftmaschine 28 die Soll-Schnittlinie 31.5 einer jeweiligen Broschur 30, 30' unabhängig von der Breite der Broschüren 30, 30' in der Schnittebene 31.2 liegt. The above explanations are indeed as driven transport component the brochure ejector 29.2 and its ejector 29.4 However, it is within the scope of the invention, for example, the Trimmerzuführung 31.3 to control so that at a predetermined Phase angle of the stapler 28, the desired cutting line 31.5 a respective Paperback 30, 30 'regardless of the width of the leaflets 30, 30' in the Section plane 31.2 is located.
