Description

Heftapparat mit einem mindestens einen Heftkopf tragenden Heftzylinder Stapler with a stapling cylinder carrying at least one stapling head
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Heftapparat mit einem mindestens einen Heftkopf tragenden Heftzylinder gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1 , 2 oder 3.The present invention relates to a stapler with a stapling cylinder carrying at least one stapling head according to the preamble of claim 1, 2 or 3.
Derartige Heftapparate umfassen herkömmlicherweise einen Heftzylinder mit einem oder mehreren Heftköpfen und einen Schließzylinder, die jeweils um eine Rotationsachse drehbar sind und zwischen sich einen Spalt begrenzen, den die zu heftenden Druckerzeugnisse, insbesondere in einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine erzeugten Druckerzeugnisse, durchlaufen und dabei geheftet werden, wobei der Schließzylinder dem Heftkopf als Widerlager dient.Staplers of this type conventionally comprise a stapling cylinder with one or more stapling heads and a locking cylinder, each of which can be rotated about an axis of rotation and between them delimit a gap through which the printed products to be stapled, in particular in a web-fed rotary printing press, pass and are stapled, the Lock cylinder serves as an abutment for the stitching head.
Die Zahl der zum Heften eines Druckerzeugnisses benötigten Heftklammern und ihr Abstand von einander hängt von der Länge der Falzlinie ab, entlang derer das Druckerzeugnis gefalzt und geheftet wird. Meist werden zwei oder drei Klammern eingesetzt. Wenn nacheinander Druckerzeugnisse mit unterschiedlichen Abmessungen verarbeitet werden sollen, kann beim Wechsel des Erzeugnisses eine umständliche Anpassung des Heftapparats erforderlich werden.The number of staples required to staple a printed product and their distance from one another depends on the length of the fold line along which the printed product is folded and stapled. Usually two or three brackets are used. If printed products with different dimensions are to be processed one after the other, a complicated adjustment of the stapling apparatus may be necessary when changing the product.
Die DE 38 10 457 A1 offenbart eine Rotationshefteinrichtung, deren Heftköpfe axial verschiebbar sind.DE 38 10 457 A1 discloses a rotary stapling device whose stapling heads are axially displaceable.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Heftapparat mit einem mindestens einen Heftkopf tragenden Heftzylinder zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a stapler with a stapling cylinder carrying at least one stapling head.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 , 2 oder 3 gelöst. Ein wichtiger Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Heftapparates ist, dass er eine schnelle Anpassung der Position der Heftköpfe an die Abmessungen eines zu verarbeitenden Druckerzeugnisses erlaubt, ohne dass hierfür Teile ab- und wieder anmontiert werden müssen. Eine einfache Verschiebung der Heftköpfe ermöglicht eine schnelle Anpassung an wechselnde Formate.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1, 2 or 3. An important advantage of the stapler according to the invention is that it allows the position of the stapling heads to be quickly adapted to the dimensions of a printed product to be processed, without parts having to be removed and reassembled for this purpose. A simple displacement of the stitching heads enables quick adaptation to changing formats.
Der mit dem Heftzylinder zusammenwirkende Schließzylinder trägt herkömmlicherweise Schließblöcke, die an ihrer den Heftköpfen zugewandten Seite Vertiefungen zum Führen der Schenkel einer Heftklammer während des Heftens tragen. Diese Schließblöcke sind zweckmäßigerweise zusammen mit den Heftköpfen verschiebbar.The locking cylinder cooperating with the stapling cylinder conventionally carries locking blocks which, on their side facing the stapling heads, have depressions for guiding the legs of a staple during stapling. These locking blocks are expediently displaceable together with the stitching heads.
Vorzugsweise sind zu diesem Zweck zwei Getriebe jeweils zum Umsetzen einer Drehbewegung in eine Verschiebung wenigstens eines der Heftköpfe bzw. wenigstens eines der Schließblöcke vorgesehen, und die Getriebe sind derart aneinander gekoppelt, dass sie Bewegungen des Heftkopfes und des Schließblocks jeweils über gleiche Strecken antreiben.For this purpose, two gears are preferably provided in each case for converting a rotary movement into a displacement of at least one of the stitching heads or at least one of the locking blocks, and the gears are coupled to one another in such a way that they drive movements of the stitching head and of the locking block in each case over the same distances.
Eine jedem Heftkopf zugeordnete Heftdraht- Versorgungsvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise ebenfalls verschiebbar; auch ihre Verschiebung ist sinnvollerweise durch ein Getriebe antreibbar, das mit dem des Heftkopfes gekoppelt ist, so dass sich Heftkopf und Heftdraht-Versorgungsvorrichtung jeweils über gleiche Strecken verschieben.A stitching wire supply device assigned to each stitching head is preferably also displaceable; their displacement can also be expediently driven by a gear mechanism which is coupled to that of the stitching head, so that the stitching head and the stitching wire supply device each move over the same distances.
Zum Umsetzen einer Drehung in eine Verschiebung eines Heftkopfes, eines Schließblocks oder einer Heftdraht-Versorgungsvorrichtung wird vorzugsweise eine Gewindespindel eingesetzt.A threaded spindle is preferably used to convert a rotation into a displacement of a stitching head, a locking block or a stitching wire supply device.
Diese hat vorzugsweise zwei gegenläufige Gewindeabschnitte, um jeweils zwei Heftköpfe, Schließblöcke oder HeftdrahtNersorgungsvorrichtungen gegenläufig zu verschieben.This preferably has two counter-rotating thread sections, each counter-rotating to two stitching heads, locking blocks or stitching wire supply devices move.
Im Falle der Heftköpfe bzw. Schließblöcke ist eine solche Spindel vorzugsweise koaxial im Heftzyünder bzw. Schließzylinder gehalten.In the case of the stitching heads or locking blocks, such a spindle is preferably held coaxially in the stitching device or locking cylinder.
Um einerseits am stehenden Heftapparat eine Verschiebung durch Drehen der Spindel ZL ermöglichen, andererseits aber zu verhindern, dass eine Drehung der Zylinder selbst eine solche Verschiebung antreibt, ist die Spindel vorzugsweise über ein Ausgleichsgetriebe mit einer Stellwelle und mit dem Zylinder, in dem sie gehalten ist verbunden, und das Übersetzungsverhältnis des Ausgleichsgetriebes ist so gewählt, dass bei stehender Stellwelle die Spindel und der Zylinder mit gleicher Drehzahl rotieren.In order on the one hand to enable a displacement by rotating the spindle ZL on the stationary stapler, but on the other hand to prevent rotation of the cylinders themselves driving such a displacement, the spindle is preferably via a differential with an actuating shaft and with the cylinder in which it is held connected, and the transmission ratio of the differential gear is selected so that the spindle and the cylinder rotate at the same speed when the adjusting shaft is stationary.
Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und werden im Folgenden beschrieben.Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are described below.

Fig. 1 ist eine perspektivische Ansicht eines Heftapparates, wobei Seitengestellplatten, ar denen die diversen Zylinder des Heftapparates gelagert sind, sowie Komponenten, die der Zufuhr der zu heftenden Druckerzeugnisse zu Heft- und Schließzylinder dienen, der Übersichtlichkeit halber nicht gezeigt sind.Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a stapler, wherein side frame plates, ar, on which the various cylinders of the stapler are mounted, and components which serve to feed the printed products to be stapled to the lock and cylinder are not shown for the sake of clarity.
Der in den Seitengestellplatten um eine Achse A drehbar gelagerte Heftzylinder 01 trägt zwei schematisch dargestellte Heftköpfe 02, die mit jeder Umdrehung des Heftzylinders 01 ein an einer dem Heftkopf 02 zugeordneten Heftdraht-Versorgungsvorrichtung 03 dargebotenes Drahtstück 04 greifen, abtrennen und zu einer Klammer biegen, um mit der Klammer anschließend ein Druckerzeugnis zu heften, das einen Spalt 06 zwischen dem Heftzylinder 01 und einem Schließzylinder 07 durchläuft.The stapling cylinder 01 rotatably mounted in the side frame plates about an axis A carries Two schematically illustrated stapling heads 02, which grip, with each staple of the stapling cylinder 01, a piece of wire 04 provided on a stapling wire supply device 03 assigned to the stapling head 02, cut them off and bend them into a staple in order to then staple a printed product with the staple, the gap 06 passes between the stitching cylinder 01 and a locking cylinder 07.
Heftzylinder 01 und Schließzylinder 07 tragen an ihren axialen Enden zwei Zahnräder 08 bzw. 09, die über zwei Zwischenzahnräder 10; 11 aneinander gekoppelt sind. Ein gemeinsamer, nicht dargestellter Antriebsmotor greift an einem der Zahnräder 08; 09; 10 oder 11 an. Die Zahnzahlen der Zahnräder 08; 09; 10; 1 1 sind so gewählt, dass beide Zylinder 01 ; 07 mit gleicher oder der Heftkopfanzahl entsprechender Drehzahl rotieren.Stapling cylinder 01 and lock cylinder 07 have at their axial ends two gear wheels 08 and 09, respectively, which have two intermediate gear wheels 10; 11 are coupled to each other. A common drive motor, not shown, engages one of the gears 08; 09; 10 or 11. The number of teeth of the gears 08; 09; 10; 1 1 are chosen so that both cylinders 01; 07 Rotate at the same speed or the speed corresponding to the number of stapling heads.
Im Inneren der hohlen Zylinder 01 ; 07 ist jeweils koaxial eine Spindel 12 angeordnet, die in Fig. 1 nur am Heftzylinder 01 zu erkennen ist. Die zwei Heftköpfe 02 des Heftzylinders 01 greifen durch einen Schlitz 13 in dessen hohlem Mantel hindurch und weisen jeweils in einem in den Mantel eingreifenden Abschnitt eine Bohrung mit Innengewinde auf, die mit der Spindel 12 kämmt. Die zwei Heftköpfe 02 befinden sich an Abschnitten 12a; 12b (siehe Fig. 2) der Spindel 12 mit jeweils entgegengesetzt gleicher Gewindesteigung, so dass eine Drehung der Spindel 12 in Bezug auf den Heftzylinder 01 entgegengesetzt gleiche Bewegungen der Heftköpfe 02 entlang der Achse A hervorruft. Die Schließblöcke 14 des Schließzylinders 07 sind an diesem in gleicher Weise mit Hilfe der in dessen hohlen Innerem geführten Spindel 12 verschiebbar.Inside the hollow cylinder 01; 07, a spindle 12 is arranged coaxially, which can only be seen in FIG. 1 on the stapling cylinder 01. The two stitching heads 02 of the stitching cylinder 01 reach through a slot 13 in its hollow jacket and each have a bore with an internal thread in a section engaging in the jacket, which bores with the spindle 12. The two stitching heads 02 are located at sections 12a; 12b (see FIG. 2) of the spindle 12, each with the opposite thread pitch, so that rotation of the spindle 12 with respect to the stitching cylinder 01 causes the same movement of the stitching heads 02 along the axis A. The locking blocks 14 of the locking cylinder 07 are displaceable in the same way by means of the spindle 12 guided in the hollow interior thereof.
Aus dem Heftzylinder 01 und dem Schließzylinder 07 ist jeweils axial eine Stellwelle 16 herausgeführt, die, wie in Fig. 2 gezeigt, über ein Ausgleichsgetriebe 17, nämlich ein zweistufiges Planetengetriebe 17, an die Spindel 12 gekoppelt ist. Bei der in Fig. 2 schematisch gezeigten Ausgestaltung sind die Stellwelle 16 und die Spindel 12 jeweils mi einem Sonnenrad 18 bzw. 19 einer Stufe des Planetengetriebes 17 verbunden, und ein Hohlrad 21 ist fest mit dem Zahnrad 08 bzw. 09 verbunden, über das der betreffende Zylinder 01 im Betrieb des Heftapparats drehangetrieben wird. Fig. 2 zeigt das Zahnrad 08 direkt am Planetengetriebe 17; in der Ansicht der Fig. 1 befinden sich beide an verschiedenen Enden des Heftzylinders 01 und sind durch dessen starren Mantel gekoppelt.An actuating shaft 16 is axially guided out of the stapling cylinder 01 and the locking cylinder 07 and, as shown in FIG. 2, is coupled to the spindle 12 via a differential 17, namely a two-stage planetary gear 17. In the embodiment shown schematically in Fig. 2, the actuating shaft 16 and the spindle 12 are each connected to a sun gear 18 and 19 of a stage of the planetary gear 17, and a ring gear 21 is fixedly connected to the gear 08 and 09, respectively, via which the concerned Cylinder 01 is driven in rotation when the stapler is in operation. Fig. 2 shows the gear 08 directly on the planetary gear 17; 1 are both at different ends of the stapling cylinder 01 and are coupled by its rigid jacket.
Es kommt außer einem Planetengetriebe 17 auch eine beliebige andere Ausgleichsgetriebekonstruktion, z.B. ein Harmonic-Drive-Getriebe in Betracht, sofern sichergestellt ist, dass zwischen den drei Anschlüssen des Getriebes ein solches Übersetzungsverhältnis gilt, dass bei stehender Stellwelle 16 der Zylinder 01 bzw. 07 und die darin befindliche Spindel 12 mit gleicher Drehgeschwindigkeit rotieren, so dass im Betrieb die Heftköpfe 02 bzw. Schließblöcke 14 nicht entlang der Achse A; D wandern.In addition to a planetary gear 17, any other differential gear construction, e.g. a harmonic drive gear is considered, provided that it is ensured that between the three connections of the gearbox such a transmission ratio applies that, when the adjusting shaft 16 is stationary, the cylinder 01 or 07 and the spindle 12 located therein rotate at the same rotational speed, so that in Do not operate the stitching heads 02 or closing blocks 14 along the axis A; D hike.
Des weiteren ist auch ein Servoantrieb (gekoppelt oder nicht gekoppelt) je Achse vorstellbar oder ein Handantrieb.Furthermore, a servo drive (coupled or not coupled) is conceivable for each axis or a manual drive.
Die Stellwellen 16 des Heftzylinders 01 und des Schließzylinders 07 sind durch einen um zwei Ritzel 22 geschlungenen Zahnriemen 23 gekoppelt. Die Durchmesser der Ritzel 22 sind gleich, so dass die Spindeln 12 sich jeweils gleich bewegen und deckungsgleiche Bewegungen der Heftköpfe 02 und der Schließblöcke 14 antreiben.The adjusting shafts 16 of the stapling cylinder 01 and the locking cylinder 07 are coupled by a toothed belt 23 wrapped around two pinions 22. The diameters of the pinions 22 are the same, so that the spindles 12 each move in the same way and drive congruent movements of the stitching heads 02 and the locking blocks 14.
Die Heftdraht- Versorgungsvorrichtungen 03 sind auf zwei fest mit den Seitenplatten verbundenen Führungsspindeln 24 parallel zur Achse A verschiebbar gehalten. Eine Gewindespindel 26, die wie die Gewindespindel 12 zwei Gewindeabschnitte mit entgegengesetzt gleicher Steigung aufweist, ist mit Innengewinden der Versorgungsvorrichtungen 03 im Eingriff und über ein weiteres Paar von Ritzeln 27 und einen Zahnriemen 28 an die Stellwelle 16 des Heftzylinders 01 gekoppelt. So folgen auch die Heftdraht-Versorgungsvorrichtungen 03 jeder Verstellung der Heftköpfe 02. Eine einzige Verstellbewegung genügt, um Heftköpfe 02, Versorgungsvorrichtungen 03 und Schließblöcke 14 unter exakter Beibehaltung ihrer Ausrichtung aufeinander zu verschieben.The stitching wire supply devices 03 are held on two guide spindles 24, which are firmly connected to the side plates, and can be displaced parallel to the axis A. A threaded spindle 26, which, like the threaded spindle 12, has two threaded sections with the same pitch in opposite directions, is in engagement with internal threads of the supply devices 03 and is coupled to the actuating shaft 16 of the stitching cylinder 01 via a further pair of pinions 27 and a toothed belt 28. The stitching wire supply devices 03 thus follow each adjustment of the stitching heads 02. A single adjustment movement is sufficient to move the stitching heads 02, supply devices 03 and closing blocks 14 towards one another while maintaining their exact alignment move.
Selbstverständlich könnte die Kopplung über Zahnriemen 23; 28 auch durch eine Kopplung über Zahnräder oder dergleichen ersetzt werden, die gewährleistet, dass die Gewindespindeln 12; 26 jeweils gleiche Drehwege zurücklegen.Of course, the coupling via toothed belt 23; 28 can also be replaced by a coupling via gears or the like, which ensures that the threaded spindles 12; 26 cover the same rotation distances.
Fig. 3 zeigt eine Abwandlung des Schnitts der Fig. 2, bei der am Heftzylinder 01 drei Heftköpfe 02 angeordnet sind. Die Gewindespindel 12 erstreckt sich durch alle drei Heftköpfe 02, hat aber in ihrem mittleren Abschnitt, an dem der mittlere Heftkopf 02 angeordnet ist, kein Gewinde und kann daher frei rotieren, ohne den mittleren Heftkopf 0J zu verschieben. Dieser ist unmittelbar am Mantel des Heftzylinders 01 gegen axiale Verschiebung gesichert. Die zwei seitlichen Heftköpfe 02 halten stets gleichen Abstand zum mittleren Heftkopf 02 ein. Komplementär zum dritten Heftkopf ist selbstverständlich auch ein dritter Schließblock 14 am Schließzylinder 07 und eine dritte Heftdraht- Versorgungsvorrichtung 03 vorgesehen, die nicht eigens in einer Fig. dargestellt sind.FIG. 3 shows a modification of the section of FIG. 2, in which three stitching heads 02 are arranged on the stitching cylinder 01. The threaded spindle 12 extends through all three stitching heads 02, but has no thread in its middle section, on which the middle stitching head 02 is arranged, and can therefore rotate freely without displacing the middle stitching head 0J. This is secured directly on the jacket of the stapling cylinder 01 against axial displacement. The two side stitching heads 02 always keep the same distance from the middle stitching head 02. Complementary to the third stitching head there is of course also a third locking block 14 on the locking cylinder 07 and a third stitching wire supply device 03, which are not specifically shown in a figure.
Die Ausgestaltung der Fig. 4 weist zwei Gewindespindeln 12 auf, die sich jeweils nur übe eine Hälfte der Länge des Zylinders 01 erstrecken. Jede Gewindespindel 12 trägt einen Heftkopf 02 und ist durch ein Planetengetriebe 17 unabhängig von der anderen drehantreibbar. So können auch asymmetrische Positionen der Heftköpfe 02 (bzw. der Schließblöcke und der Heftdraht-Versorgungsvorrichtungen 03) in Bezug auf die Mittelebene des Heftapparates eingestellt werden. The embodiment of FIG. 4 has two threaded spindles 12, each of which only extends over half the length of the cylinder 01. Each threaded spindle 12 carries a stitching head 02 and can be driven by a planetary gear 17 independently of the other. In this way, asymmetrical positions of the stitching heads 02 (or the closing blocks and the stitching wire supply devices 03) can also be set with respect to the central plane of the stitching apparatus.
