Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für ein Stabilisieren von in einem Förderstrom über eine Wegstrecke in Klammern einer Fördervorrichtung hängend transportierten Druckprodukten zur Ueberführung in eine Verarbeitungsvorrichtung, wobei die wenigstens zweiteiligen Klammern einen diese öffnenden und schliessenden beweglich gesteuerten Klammerteil aufweisen und zwischen den beabstandeten Druckprodukten eine diese gegen ein Auslenken stützende, mitlaufende Führungsanordnung vorgesehen ist.
Eine solche Vorrichtung vermittelt beispielsweise die EP - 0 481 914 A1 und zeigt u.a. an einem Transporteur in umlaufenden Klammern hängend transportierte Druckprodukte, die an ihrer Rückseite von in den Förderstrom eingeführten Führungselementen angehalten werden, derart, dass sie vor ihrer Abgabe an eine Verarbeitungsmaschine eine definierte Lage einnehmen. Vorrichtungen dieser Art, denen ein bestimmtes Verfahrensprinzip zugrunde liegt, kommen ohne zusätzlichen Raumbedarf, der nicht für jede Anwendung bei der Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten verfügbar ist, nicht aus.The invention relates to a device for stabilizing in a flow over a distance in parentheses of a conveyor hanging transported printed products for conversion into a processing device, the at least two-part brackets having this opening and closing movable controlled clamp member and between the spaced printed products against this a deflection supporting, follower guide arrangement is provided.
Such a device conveys, for example, the EP-0 481 914 A1 and shows, inter alia, on a conveyor in circulating brackets hanging transported printed products that are stopped at their back by imported into the flow guide elements, such that they occupy a defined position prior to their delivery to a processing machine. Devices of this kind, which are based on a specific process principle, come without additional space, the not available for every application in the processing of printed products, not from.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den erwähnten Nachteil zu beheben und eine gattungsgemässe Vorrichtung auszugestalten, die die weiteren Bedingungen für eine strörungsfreie Uebergabe von Druckprodukten an eine Verarbeitungsmaschine erfüllt.It is an object of the present invention to overcome the mentioned disadvantage and to design a generic device that meets the other conditions for a streak-free transfer of printed products to a processing machine.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Stabilisierungselemente aufweisende Führungsanordnung jeweils wenigstens an einem unbeweglichen, mit dem beweglichen Klammerteil zusammenwirkenden Klammerteil der Klammer befestigt und aus einer wirkungslosen Position in eine Stützposition hinter die in Förderrichtung transportierten Druckprodukte versetzbar ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the guide element having stabilizing elements is fastened to at least one immovable clamp part of the clamp cooperating with the movable clamp part and displaceable from an ineffective position to a support position behind the printed products transported in the conveying direction.

Im Sinne einer Weiterausgestaltung können die Stabilisierungselemente der Führungsanordnung auch dem beweglichen Klammerteil zugeordnet sein, sodass die Druckprodukte, egal in welcher Richtung sie transportiert oder beeinflusst werden, in einer stabilen Lage gehalten werden.In terms of further development, the stabilizing elements of the guide arrangement can also be assigned to the movable clamp part, so that the printed products, no matter in which direction they are transported or influenced, are kept in a stable position.

Weiterhin ist vorgeschlagen, dass die Stabilisierungselemente aus einem streifenförmigen Abschnitt gebildet sind, beispielsweise aus Federstahl, um das Gewicht niedrig zu halten.Furthermore, it is proposed that the stabilizing elements are formed from a strip-shaped section, for example spring steel, in order to keep the weight low.

Vorteilhaft sind die Stabilisierungselemente der Führungsanordnung in der wirkungslosen Position in der Klammer versenkt und werden aus dieser Position in die Stabilisierungsposition ausgehoben.Advantageously, the stabilizing elements of the guide assembly are sunk in the ineffective position in the bracket and are dug out of this position in the stabilization position.

Vorzugsweise sind über wenigstens annähernd die wirksame Breite der Klammer jeweils zwei beabstandete Abschnitte mit einem Ende an einem Klammerteil befestigt und schwenkbar gesteuert, sodass sie die Druckprodukte über eine grössere Fläche stabilisieren können.Preferably, at least approximately the effective width of the staple, two spaced apart portions are secured to one end of a staple member and pivotally controlled so that they can stabilize the printed products over a larger area.

Die aus den Klammerteilen ausschwenkbaren Abschnitte sind zweckmässig an ihren Befestigungsenden mit einem Ritzel versehen, das zu einem Verstellgetriebe gehört.The swung out of the clamp parts sections are expediently provided at their attachment ends with a pinion, which belongs to a variable speed.

Der Antrieb des Ritzels resp. der Abschnitte kann beispielsweise über eine Zahnstange erfolgen, die quer zur Förderrichtung F antreibbar ist.The drive of the pinion resp. The sections can, for example, take place via a toothed rack which can be driven transversely to the conveying direction F.

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

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen eine Ausführungsform einer Vorrichtung 1 zum Stabilisieren von in einem Förderstrom über eine etwa horizontale Wegstrecke in Klammern 2 einer Fördervorrichtung 3 hängend transportierten Druckprodukten 4, die in eine Verarbeitungsvorrichtung, beispielsweise eine Einsteckmaschine, einen Anleger, eine Stapelvorrichtung wie beispielsweise Kreuzleger, eine Schneidmaschine etc. überführt werden. Solche Fördervorrichtungen, die auch ansteigende oder abfallende Abschnitte aufweisen können, werden auch Transporteure genannt und bestehen aus einer Vielzahl miteinander verhängter Glieder 5 einer in einer Führungsschiene 31 umlaufenden Kette 6 (strichpunktiert dargestellt). Die Kettenglieder 5 weisen jeweils eine obere Führungsrolle 7 und ein in einer seitlichen Führungsanordnung verlaufendes Laufrollen-Paar 8 auf, die wie die Führungsrolle 7 in einem Gliedkörper 9 gelagert sind. An den Gliedkörpern 9 ist jeweils eine Klammer 2 durch Schrauben befestigt, so dass ein regelmässiger Abstand unter den Klammern 2 entsteht. Die Klammern 2 sind wenigstens zweiteilig durch einen unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 und einen beweglichen Klammerteil 11 zum Oeffnen und Schliessen der Klammer 2 ausgebildet. Mit Pfeil F ist eine Förderrichtung der Druckprodukte 4 angegeben. Fig. 1 zeigt einen in der Klammer 2 zwischen dem unbeweglichen 10 und dem beweglichen Klammerteil 11 im Falzbereich hängend eingespanntes Druckprodukt 4. Dabei drückt beispielsweise eine Feder (nicht sichtbar) den beweglichen Klammerteil 11 gegen den unbeweglichen, an dem Gliedkörper 9 befestigten unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10. Das Oeffnen der Klammer 2 resp. die Freigabe des Druckproduktes erfolgt mittels einem Hebel 12 der an dem in den unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 gelagerten beweglichen Klammerteil 11 befestigt ist. In Fig. 1 ist mit strichpunktierter Linie die Offenstellung der Klammer 2 veranschaulicht.
Damit die Druckprodukte 4 bei der Ueberführung eine stabile Lage einnehmen, sind sie zumindest über eine bestimmte Wegstrecke an ihrer in Förderrichtung F betrachteten Rückseite geführt bzw. gegen eine durch die Förderbewegung aufkommende Kraft gestützt. Hierzu ist eine Führungsanordnung 13 vorgesehen, die aus der Klammer 2, in der sie sich in einer Ruhestellung befindet, in eine Arbeitsstellung, in der die Druckprodukte 4 jeweils an ihr anliegen, zugestellt wird. In dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 und 2 ist die Führungsanordnung 13 in den unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 integriert und besitzt Stabilisierungselemente 14, die an dem unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 angeordnet sind, von wo sie aus einer wirkungslosen Position in eine Stützposition hinter ein Druckprodukt 4 versetzt werden können. Die Stabilisierungselemente 14, wovon vorzugsweise zwei einer Klammer 2 zugeordnet sind, sind als streifenförmige Abschnitte, beispielsweise aus Band- oder Federstrahl gebildet, damit sie ein geringes Gewicht aufweisen und insbesondere in der ausgeschwenkten Lage, in der die Druckprodukte 4 anliegen, weitgehend gestreckt sind. Vorliegend ist an einem dem unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 zugeordneten Ende eines Stabilisierungselementes 14 ein Ritzel 15 befestigt, das in dem unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 an einer gelagerten Welle 16 sitzt. Die Betätigung der Stabilisierungselemente 14 erfolgt jeweils mittels Zahnstange 17, 18, die an einem quer zur Förderrichtung F der Druckprodukte 4 in einer Führungsnut 19 hin und her bewegbaren Schieber 20 befestigt ist. Der Antrieb des Schiebers 20, der über die Zahnstangen 17, 18 die Ritzel 15 in Drehung versetzt, wird durch eine am Schieber 20 gelagerte Steuerrolle 21 erzielt, auf die an der Wegstrecke zur Betätigung der Stabilisierungselemente 14 eine Steuerkurve 22 einwirkt, welche die Stabilisierungselemente 14 aus der strichpunktiert dargestellten Ruhelage in die gezeigte Stützlage versetzt, in der die Stabilisierungselemente 14 hinter einem Druckprodukt 4 ausgeschwenkt senkrecht nach unten ragen.
In ihrer Ruhelage sind die Stabilisierungselemente 14 in dem unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 versenkt nebeneinander angeordnet, wie dies in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist. Schieber 20 und Ritzel 15 einer Klammer 2 sind an einer Platte 23, die mit dem unbeweglichen Klammerteil 10 verschraubt ist und diesem Klammerteil 10 geführt.1 and 2 show an embodiment of a device 1 for stabilizing in a flow over an approximately horizontal distance in brackets 2 of a conveyor 3 hanging transported printed products 4, in a processing device, such as a plug-in, a feeder, a stacking device such as Kreuzleger, a cutting machine, etc. are transferred. Such conveying devices, which may also have rising or falling sections, are also called conveyors and consist of a plurality of mutually imposed members 5 of a circulating in a guide rail 31 chain 6 (shown in phantom). The chain links 5 each have an upper guide roller 7 and a running in a lateral guide arrangement rollers pair 8, which are mounted as the guide roller 7 in a link body 9. At the link bodies 9, a respective bracket 2 is fastened by screws, so that a regular distance under the brackets 2 is formed. The brackets 2 are formed at least in two parts by an immovable clamp member 10 and a movable clamp member 11 for opening and closing the clamp 2. Arrow F indicates a conveying direction of the printed products 4. Fig. 1 shows an in the bracket 2 between the immovable 10 and the movable clamp member 11 in the folded hinge hanging clamped printed product 4. Here, for example, a spring (not visible) presses the movable clamp member 11 against the immovable, fixed to the member body 9 immovable clamp member 10th The opening of the clip 2 resp. the release of the printed product by means of a lever 12 which is fixed to the mounted in the immovable clamp member 10 movable clamp member 11. In Fig. 1 is illustrated with dotted line the open position of the bracket 2.
So that the printed products 4 occupy a stable position during the transfer, they are guided at least over a certain distance on their rear side viewed in the conveying direction F or supported against a force arising from the conveying movement. For this purpose, a guide assembly 13 is provided, which is delivered from the bracket 2, in which it is in a rest position, in a working position in which the printed products 4 each lie against her. In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 and 2, the guide assembly 13 is integrated with the immovable clamp member 10 and has stabilizing elements 14 disposed on the immovable clamp member 10 from where they can be displaced from an inoperative position to a support position behind a printed product 4 , The stabilizing elements 14, preferably two of which are associated with a clamp 2, are formed as strip-shaped sections, for example of ribbon or spring beam, so that they have a low weight and, in particular, in the pivoted-out position in which the printed products 4 rest, are largely stretched. In the present case, a pinion 15, which is seated in the immovable clamp part 10 on a mounted shaft 16, is fastened to an immovable clamp part 10 of a stabilizing element 14. The actuation of the stabilizing elements 14 takes place in each case by means of a toothed rack 17, 18, which is attached to a transversely movable to the conveying direction F of the printed products 4 in a guide groove 19 slide 20. The drive of the slider 20, which puts the pinion 15 in rotation via the racks 17, 18, is achieved by a control roller 21 mounted on the slider 20, to which on the Distance to actuate the stabilizing elements 14, a control cam 22 acts, which offset the stabilizing elements 14 from the rest position shown in phantom in the support position shown, in which the stabilizing elements 14 swung out behind a printed product 4 protrude vertically downwards.
In its rest position, the stabilizing elements 14 are sunk in the immovable clamp member 10 side by side, as shown in Fig. 2. Slider 20 and pinion 15 of a clamp 2 are guided on a plate 23 which is screwed to the immovable clamp member 10 and this clamp member 10.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist ein alternatives Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung 1 zur Stabilisierung von in einem Förderstrom in Klammern 2 einer Fördervorrichtung 3 hängend transportierten Druckprodukten 4 veranschaulicht mit dem Unterschied, dass auch der bewegliche Klammerteil 11 mit einer Führungsanordnung 24 ausgestattet ist.
Die Betätigung der dem beweglichen Klammerteil 11 zugeordneten Stabilisierungselemente 25 erfolgt wiederum durch ein aus Ritzeln 26 und Zahnstangen 27, 28 gebildeten Verstellgetriebe, das mit einer zweiten Steuerrolle 29 und einer zweiten Steuerkurve 30 antriebsverbunden ist.
