Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for positioning a trailing edge of sheet-like objects preferably moved in a combination folding machine, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • brushes or a brush bar are also placed against the trailing edge of the signature sheet for end stop fixing of the signature.
  • the brush strip that slows down the folded sheet top is disadvantageous especially for folded sheets with a low basis weight, since a symmetrical system and thus a uniform braking is difficult.
  • the adjustment and positioning of the brushes or ball strips is time-consuming.
  • the guide roller closest to the cross-rupture stop is positioned exactly, that is to say so that the sheet is "free” between the leading edge stop and the guide roll.
  • the guide roller must be positioned so that the roller just barely rotates and is neither on the sheet trailing edge nor directly on the folded sheet.
  • Such a device is from the German utility model DE 299 047 57 known.
  • a device for holding down and loading of moving sheet-like objects is proposed, in which one or more guide rollers are provided for holding down the objects. For exact positioning of the guide rollers, at least one of these guide rollers is provided with a marking.
  • a disadvantage of the generic devices of the prior art is just this long travel that such a device has in sheet travel direction, since the travel must be kept free. As a result, a bow over a correspondingly large distance would not be performed, which can have a negative effect on the folding result, especially for small bow.
  • the trailing edge positioning region means the region in which a positioning means can perform a positioning. If the positioning means is fixed, then the trailing edge positioning area has no extension, if the positioning means is adjustable along a travel, the limits of this adjustability just indicate the trailing edge positioning area, since no trailing edge positioning is possible by this positioning means outside this trailing edge positioning area.
  • the trailing edge region were not covered by the trailing edge positioning region, some of the arcs might not experience positioning of the trailing edge and would not be properly impacted to the leading edge stop.
  • the invention is accordingly based on the fact that an overlap of the trailing edge region is achieved by a plurality of trailing edge positioning regions. Since the trailing edge positioning range is not greater than the travel, a shortening of the travel can be achieved by this measure. This leaves room in which other elements, such as hold-down can be accommodated so that improved guidance of the bow can be guaranteed on the way to the leading edge stop.
  • the trailing edge positioning regions of the individual positioning means do not overlap. This means that the trailing edge positioning areas adjoin each other directly and completely in the transport direction in order to completely cover the trailing edge area. This But does not mean that the travel of the carrier also has the same length of the individual Schukantenpositionier Schemee the individual positioning, but is advantageously the travel in the transport direction of the carrier slightly longer than the length of the individual Schukantenpositionier Schemee the individual positioning.
  • the elimination of overlap of the trailing edge positioning regions facilitates control of the drive of the carrier since only one trailing edge positioning region is associated with each possible trailing edge position. On the other hand, it is ensured with a sufficient degree of certainty by the somewhat longer travel path that in fact every point in the respective rear edge positioning region can be controlled.
  • the positioning means are guide rollers under the action of spring forces.
  • Such guide rollers have already proven themselves in comparable applications.
  • the guide rollers are assigned counter-pressure means, for example a common belt or individual counter-rollers.
  • activating means are associated with the positioning means, wherein the activating means are designed such that thus the positioning means are movable into an active or passive working position.
  • the positioning means are not in contact with the sheet.
  • all those positioning means are in a passive working position, which are above the sheet at the time of folding, so as not to hinder the folding by friction or possibly to leave markings on the sheet.
  • the positioning means is in interaction with a counterpressure and can fulfill two functions. The first is the positioning of the trailing edge, in which the positioning means is just at the point where the trailing edge should come to rest. The second function is to hold down the bow on the way to the leading edge stop. This function is fulfilled by all the positioning means arranged upstream of the positioning means, which makes the positioning of the trailing edge.
  • the activating means are designed such that the working position of all positioning means is adjustable by a common traction means. These are, for example, in the traction means to a toothed belt or an adjustable actuating bar. Alternatively, however, it is also conceivable to associate each positioning means with its own activating means, for example small servomotors with a corresponding control.
  • the activation means are designed such that after moving a arranged in the transport direction behind the first positioning means positioning in an active working position all upstream positioning are in an active working position.
  • the activation means are designed such that after moving a arranged in the transport direction behind the first positioning means positioning in a passive working position all downstream positioning are in a passive working position.
  • the illustrated embodiment of the device 100 according to the invention is part of a combination folding machine and is there upstream of the first sword folder.
  • Combined folding machines and knife folders are known to those skilled in the art in large numbers.
  • the parallel breaks are folded in a pocket-folding principle in a first folding station, while the subsequent cross-breaks are carried out with a vertical folding blade.
  • the folded sheets 1, 2 are transported after the parallel break output to a cross-break station by means not shown conveyor belts without slip.
  • the transported flat material In order to ensure a truly slip-free transport, the transported flat material must be held down and pressed vertically onto the conveyor belt.
  • the trailing edge HK of the sheet 1, 2 in dependence on the Size of the sheet 1, 2 come to lie in a trailing edge area HKB.
  • the trailing edge region HKB is limited on the one hand by the largest extent of a sheet 1, 2 in the transport direction, which is indicated by the arrow with the reference numeral B, the folding machine can still process, and on the other hand by the smallest extent of a sheet 1, 2 in the Transport direction B, which can still be processed by the folding machine limited.
  • the extent L1, L2 of the sheet 1, 2 in the direction of transport B depends both on the unfolded dimensions of the sheet 1, 2, as well as of possible previous steps in the Taschenfalzwerken.
  • the trailing edge region corresponds to just half the difference between the maximum possible length L1 of the largest possible sheet 1 and the smallest possible length L2 of the smallest possible sheet 2. This is because the folded sheet is centered longitudinally about the center line ML of the sheet 1, 2, see Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 and the folding blade is not moved for this purpose. Half of the distance is due to a displacement of the leading edge stop 90.
  • the nature of the adjustment of the leading edge stop 90 by a travel SWA for the invention is not essential.
  • a plurality of positioning means 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are arranged along this transport path B of the sheet.
  • These positioning means 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are, in particular, guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50.
  • Each of these guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 is assigned a counterpressure roller 70.
  • such a conveyor belt is supported by corresponding counter-pressure rollers 70 relative to the guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, but it is also conceivable that the conveyor belt runs only in a matching groove.
  • the guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are mounted on a common carrier 80.
  • the carrier 80 is displaceable with a drive designated by the reference numeral 82 along the transport path about a travel SWT.
  • the displacement of the carrier 80 is advantageously carried out automatically in interaction with information regarding the desired position of the trailing edge HK of a sheet 1, 2. This information is exchanged with a controller 61, with which at least the two drives 62, 82 interact and exchange data with each other.
  • the length of the travel of the carrier SWT is such that it slightly exceeds the length of each individual trailing edge positioning region HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5.
  • the individual trailing edge positioning areas HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 do not overlap but abut each other directly.
  • the trailing edge positioning areas HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 slightly overhang the trailing edge area HKB. It is also a partial mutual overlap of the trailing edge positioning areas HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 conceivable.
  • the length of a trailing edge positioning area HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 is just equal to the distance D between two adjacent guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 to each other. However, it is also conceivable not to make the guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 equidistant, but the equidistant embodiment of the guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 is more practical.
  • the trailing edge region HKB is ultimately subdivided into 5 trailing edge positioning regions HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 in this embodiment, and the required travel of the carrier STW is reduced to about one fifth.
  • the individual guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are freely rotatable clockwise about a roller axle 12, 22, 32, 42, 52 in the present embodiment.
  • the guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are spring-loaded against the counter-pressure rollers 70.
  • all guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 a pivot arm 14, 24, 34, 44, 54, by means of which they are pivotable about a respective pivot axis 16, 26, 36, 46, 56.
  • the first guide roller 10 in the transport direction is always in an active working position and is thus permanently in interaction with the corresponding counter-pressure roller 70.
  • the first guide roller 10 pivots about the pivot axis 16 when, by the thickness of an incoming sheet 1, 2 of the counter-roller 70 against the spring force is lifted.
  • All the downstream following guide rollers 20, 30, 40, 50 are connected to an activating means 60, a toothed belt 60 which is wound around a corresponding toothed wheel 28, 38, 48, 58 and by tension rollers 63, 64, 65, between the guide rollers 10 , 20, 30, 40, 50 are arranged, is tensioned.
  • the activation means comprise a designated by the reference numeral 62 drive, which is a Movement of the toothed belt 60 and thus causes a rotation of the gears 28, 38, 48, 58.
  • the respective gear 28, 38, 48, 58 each have a driver 29, 39, 49, 59, which is in contact with the respective pivot arm 24, 34, 44, 54 of the corresponding guide roller 20, 30, 40, 50, when the leadership is in a passive position.
  • FIGS. 5 to 8 An alternative embodiment is in the FIGS. 5 to 8 shown.
  • the individual guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are freely rotatable clockwise about a roller axis 12, 22, 32, 42, 52 in this embodiment.
  • the guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 are also spring-loaded against the counter-pressure rollers 70.
  • all guide rollers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 a pivot arm 14, 24, 34, 44, 54 by means of which they are pivotable about a respective pivot axis 16, 26, 36, 46, 56.
  • the first guide roller 10 in the transport direction is always in an active working position and is thus permanently in interaction with the corresponding counter-pressure roller 70.
  • the first guide roller 10 pivots about the pivot axis 16 when moved by the thickness of an incoming sheet 1, 2 from the counter-pressure roller 70 is lifted against the spring force.
  • the downstream following guide rollers 20, 30, 40, 50 have at its one end of the pivot arm 24, 34, 44, 54 an adjustment surface 112.
  • This adjustment surface 112 cooperates with pins 111 which are attached to an adjustable actuating bar 110.
  • This adjustable actuating bar 110 is designated by a reference numeral 62 Drive connected, which puts the bar in a linear movement.
  • the pins 111 are arranged on the strip 110 such that they sequentially touch the adjustment surfaces 112 and thus sequentially bring the rollers 20, 30, 40, 50 from a passive to an active working position.
  • the counter-pressure rollers 70 are designed as a continuous band 113, as in FIG Fig. 9 is shown.
  • trailing edge positioning region HKPB 1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 the trailing edge HK of the sheet 1, 2 falls. Then, the positioning means 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 associated with the trailing edge positioning area HKPB1, HKPB2, HKPB3, HKPB4, HKPB5 are also brought into the appropriate position within the available travel of the carrier STW to the corresponding position and the leading edge stop 90.
  • the third guide roller 30 would be positioned at the trailing edge HK of the sheet 1, 2, the upstream guide rollers 10, 20 would also be in one active working position in which they hold down the bow as long as possible on the way to the leading edge stop.
  • the downstream guide rollers 40, 50 would be in a passive working position in which they do not hinder the folding of the sheet 1, 2.
  • Such a device according to the invention can be used in all Schwertfalz- or Kombifalschmaschinen, especially in the second and third cross fracture, but also in other devices in which the longest possible management of the products to be processed to be guaranteed, while fast format change and high positioning accuracy.
