Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for collecting and transporting printed products placed astride, comprising a first conveying device with a first double chain and a second conveying device with a second double chain and a transfer region in which the printed products can be transferred from the first conveying device to the second conveying device.
  • a device of this kind is known in the art by the EP 1 232 978 A known.
  • This has as the first conveyor on a first saddle stitcher and second conveyor as a second saddle stitcher.
  • the two saddle stitchers are arranged one after the other in the conveying direction.
  • Sub-products can be transported from the first saddle stitcher to the second saddle stitcher with an intermediate conveyor.
  • the intermediate conveyor has a Takttransporteur with multiple grippers, which take the sub-products each at the top of the fold and transport over the distance between the two Sammelheftern.
  • the first saddle stitcher is also called “slave" and this usually has a stapler.
  • the printed products can either be fed to the second saddle stitcher or "master" or they can be discharged and fed, for example, to a cutting machine.
  • the transport of the printed products takes place in both saddle stitchers with a double collection chain and a ridge arranged between the two strands.
  • the ridge between the two collecting chains is interrupted and thus not continuous. This can lead to disruption during the transfer and thus to production inhibitions. In particular, the products can slip sideways during the transfer.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, which is still functionally reliable and yet structurally complex.
  • the object is achieved in a generic device characterized in that the two double chains are entangled in the transfer area, such that in the transfer area, the printed products can be transported by a strand of the first double chain and a strand of the second double chain.
  • the transfer area is thus by a strand of the first double chain and formed a strand of the second double chain.
  • a significant advantage of the invention is seen in the fact that the ridge in the transfer area does not have to be interrupted and that the products can therefore always rest on a continuous ridge in the transfer area. The products can thus be transported in the transfer area stable and thus largely trouble-free.
  • the device according to the invention is also structurally simpler, since a comparatively complex cyclic transport with several grippers is not required. Even a single collection chain in the transfer area is not required. The two double chains of the two saddle stitchers thus form the transfer area. Also with respect to the drive, there are significant simplifications.
  • Another advantage of the invention is also seen in the fact that the strands of the double chains can each be separately and thus optimally tensioned.
  • a continuously acting guide means is arranged, on which the straddled printed products are conveyed in the conveying device.
  • the guide means are preferably formed by the above deadline. This preferably extends between the two strands from the first saddle stitcher to the second saddle stitcher. In the first saddle stitcher, this ridge may be interrupted in a known manner in the area of a stapling machine.
  • said strands each have drivers and that the strands are formed so that the printed products are each transported by a driver of the one strand and by a driver of the other strand.
  • the printed products can thus be transported in the transfer area as usual in each case by two drivers, resulting in a particularly high reliability.
  • the two mentioned strands preferably run parallel next to each other in the transfer area.
  • one strand of the double chain of the first conveying device is deflected by a deflection wheel or drive wheel in front of the transfer region and that this strand has drivers which, viewed in the conveying direction, can be swung backwards in the region of said deflection or drive wheel , This allows a particularly gentle transport of the printed products in the transfer area or at the beginning of this area.
  • the device 1 according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a first saddle stitcher S1 and a second saddle stitcher S2, which are connected to one another via a transfer region 8.
  • the first saddle stitcher S1 has a first conveying device 4, which has a first double chain 5.
  • This first double chain 5 has two mutually parallel chain strands 9 and 11, run parallel to each other according to Figure 2. Between these two strands 9 and 11 runs a ridge 17, which is interrupted in the area of a stapler H as can be seen. In the transfer area 8 but this First 17 is continuous and thus not interrupted.
  • the dot-dash lines, which show the strands 9 and 11, are offset in height only for illustrative reasons.
  • the saddle stitcher S2 has known investors A, with which more sheets or other printed products can be stored. He may also have other functional units, such as stapling and cutting machines.
  • the ridge 17 forms in a manner known per se according to FIG. 5 a guide means for printed products 2, which are transported from the first conveying device 4 via the transfer area 8 to the second conveying device 6.
  • the figure 1 is the transport direction indicated by the arrow 22.
  • the two double chains 5 and 7 each according to Figure 5 at equal intervals wing-shaped driver 18. These are each attached to a strand, for example on the strand 9 or 10 and guided with rollers 20.
  • the strands 9 and 10 are guided on a chain guide 19 and are in particular endless link chains.
  • the conveyed printed products 2 each have a fold 3 with which, as can be seen, they rest astride the ridge 17.
  • the ridge 17 is fixed and mounted on a support 21.
  • the strand 11 of the first double chain 5 ends according to Figures 1 and 2 in front of the transfer area 8 and passes over a drive wheel 13.
  • the other strand 9 extends into the transfer area 8 and is also placed over a drive wheel 15 at the end of this area.
  • the two strands 9 and 11 are driven at the same speed and in the same clock and the upper run moves in the direction of the arrow 22.
  • the driver 18 of these two strands 9 and 11 are each at the same height.
  • the printed products 2 are thus each transported by a driver of the strand 9 and a driver of the strand 11.
  • the second conveyor 6 has a strand 10 and a strand 12.
  • the strand 10 also extends into the transfer region 8, but from the other side.
  • the strand 10 is placed around a deflection wheel 14.
  • This deflecting wheel 14 is connected to a chain tensioner, not shown here.
  • the strand 12 ends before the transfer area 8 and is also placed around a guide wheel 16. Also this guide wheel 16 is connected to a chain tensioner, not shown here.
  • the strands 10 and 12 are thus tensioned independently of each other and they can thereby be provided in each case with an optimal voltage. This also applies to the other strands.
  • the two double chains 5 and 7 are thus entangled in the transfer area 8, such that in this transfer area 8 the printed products 2 are transported by the strand 9 of the first double chain 5 and by the strand 10 of the second double chain 7.
  • a type of double chain is therefore likewise formed, which with carriers 18 and a ridge 17 stably transport the printed products 2 in this transfer area 8.
  • the printed products 2 can thus be promoted astride securely in the area of the first saddle stitcher S1 as well as in the transfer area 8 and in the area of the second saddle stitcher S2.
  • the printed products 2 can be transported both stapled and unstacked. It is also possible that the printed products 2 are not transported into the transfer area 8, but are discharged therefrom and, for example, supplied to a cutting device, not shown here, for example a three-knife trimmer.
  • the two saddle stitchers S1 and S2 can also be operated separately as mentioned, so that even in this case the transfer area 8 is not used for transport.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show an inventive device 1 'according to a variant.
  • This has a first saddle stitcher S1 ', a transfer area 8' and a second saddle stitcher S2 '.
  • the first saddle stitcher S1 ' has a first Conveying device 4 ', which has a first strand 9' and a second strand 11 '.
  • the ridge 17 extends between these two strands 9 'and 11' and is interrupted as in the device 1 in the stapler H.
  • the strand ends 11 'in front of the stapler H and is placed in front of this around a drive wheel 13'.
  • a second conveying device 6 ' has a second double chain 7' with a strand 10 'and a strand 12'.
  • the strand 10 ' corresponds to the above-mentioned strand 10 and is placed at the beginning of the transfer region 8' around the deflection wheel 14.
  • the strand 10 'thus extends into the transfer region 8'.
  • the strand 9 ' also extends into the transfer area 8' and is placed around the drive wheel 15.
  • the strand 9 'thus corresponds to the above-mentioned strand 9.
  • the printed products 1 are thus transported here only by the strand 9'.
  • the above-mentioned pivoting of the driver 18 takes place in this case in the region of the drive wheel 13 'and thus before reaching the stapler H.
  • the printed products 2 are transferred to the saddle stitcher S2 in four steps in the form of, for example, gathered sheets or pre-stitched products.
  • the drivers 18 of the strand 11 dive and transport takes place only briefly by the drivers 18 of the strand 9.
  • the drivers 18 of the strand 10 emerge, so that subsequently the printed products 2 from the two strands 9 and 10 are transported.
  • the drivers 18 of the strand 9 dive, so that in the short term the printed products 2 are transported solely by the strand 10.
  • the drivers dive of the strand 12 so that subsequently the printed products 2 are transported by the drivers 18 of the strands 10 and 12 in the region of the second saddle stitcher S2.
  • the transport is also carried out in said fourth steps, the first step here but already in the range of the drive wheel 13' and thus takes place before the stapler H.
  • the transport also takes place here with two strands 8' and 10 'and with the guidance of the ridge 17.
