The invention relates to a device for transporting reels of material, whereby the reels of material are disposed on a first transport carriage (27) and said transport carriage is disposed on a second transport carriage (32). The second transport carriage (32) travels between a store having a plurality of storage spaces and a reel changer of a web-processing machine. The second transport carriage (32), together with the first transport carriage (27) and the reel of material deposited thereon, travels to an offload/unload position of the reel changer.

Description

The invention relates to a device for transporting material rolls according to the preamble of claim 1.

On web-processing machines, such as web-fed rotary printing presses, there are so-called roll changers which serve to supply the material to the machine, for example with a printing material web. When a roll change the expired roll of material is removed from the roll changer and replaced by a new roll of material. Various transport systems from the prior art are known for transporting the new rolls of material to the roll changer or for removing the expired rolls of material from the roll changer.

In the EP 0 925 246 B1 and the EP 0 925 248 A is a complex system for the supply and disposal of material rolls on reel changer of a printing press described. The rolls of material are stored on so-called first trolley with its peripheral surface. The actual promotion of material rolls is then carried out by charging the first dolly on so-called second dolly. In other words, this means that the first transport vehicles are piggyback-loaded onto the second transport vehicles. In the in the EP 0 925 246 B1 described system a total of four different sections are provided for the second trolley, with none of the second trolley can leave the respective associated conveyor section. Immediately before the reel changer, a section for a second transport carriage is provided, which is movable in a Aufachsposition and an unloading position on the reel changer. By loading a loaded with a new roll of material first trolley on a second trolley in this section on the reel changer, the new roll of material in the position required for Aufachsung to be brought. Accordingly, by loading an expired roll of material on a first trolley, which has been moved to the second trolley in the unloading, the expired roll of material to be removed.

The JP 63-074852A shows a railless trolley with a lifting device for rolls of material. This trolley removes the rolls of material from intermediate storage stations and transports the rolls of material into a roll changer.

The WO 03/080484 A1 describes a freight transport system with a network of tracks and transportable transport vehicles.

The DE 39 10 444 A1 discloses a storage for paper rolls wherein the paper rolls are fed by a trolley system to a centrally located unpacking and splice preparation station and are loaded onto the trolley system after preparation.

The invention has for its object to provide a device for transporting rolls of material.

The object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

An advantage of the device according to the invention is, in particular, that the second transport carriage can be moved on at least one transport path into a warehouse in which new and / or completely or partially expired material rolls can be stored on several storage locations. The existing second trolley for Aufachsung the rolls of material in the roll changer can be used in this way also for transporting the material rolls from a warehouse or in a warehouse inside. In addition, it is conceivable that the second trolley promotes new material rolls either directly to the reel changer or the new material rolls are first placed in the warehouse and stored until retrieval for later use. In particular, a cumbersome reloading between the individual sections for different second transport vehicles can be avoided by the new device.

According to a preferred embodiment, the bearing is designed as an intermediate storage, in particular in the manner of a daily storage. Ie. the camp, that with the second

Transport carriage is approachable, not used for storage of the entire inventory of rolls of material, but is only intended for temporary storage of a certain, preferably smaller proportion of rolls of material in the vicinity of the roll changer. The rolls of material in the intermediate storage should preferably already be unpacked and prepared for the roll change with splices. If the bearing is designed in the manner of a daily storage, about as many material rolls are temporarily stored in the day store as are approximately necessary for the daily requirements of the web-processing machine.

In principle, it is conceivable that the rolls of material in the storage bins of the warehouse are in turn unloaded by the first transport carriage. As a result, however, damage to the rolls of material can occur. The storage bins in the warehouse should therefore preferably be designed such that at least one first transport carriage can be arranged in each storage bin. It can also be unladen first trolley parked at the various storage bins, thereby creating a relatively close to the machine storage space for the first dolly.

In the arrangement of the trolley in the different storage bins of the camp should preferably freedom of choice exist, so that ultimately every first dolly at each storage space of the camp is turned off. As a result, a very large flexibility and variability in the use of the warehouse is realized.

The range of functions for using the second trolley can be significantly increased by the fact that the first trolley on a transport path in a unpacking for unpacking the roll of material is movable. In this way, new material rolls can be picked up after unpacking in the unpacking and transported to downstream processing stations.

Furthermore, it is particularly advantageous if the first dolly on a

Transport path can also be moved in a splice preparation station. In this way, the unpacked rolls of material can be picked up after the attachment of the splices at the beginning of the web from the splice preparation station and transported to downstream processing stations. In particular, system configurations are also conceivable in which the splice preparation station also serves as an unpacking station, so that the first transport carriage picks up the material rolls from this combination station and transports them to downstream processing stations.

For the purposes of rational material transport, the unpacking station and / or the splice preparation station should be arranged upstream of the storage locations in the warehouse with respect to the transport direction of the material rolls. In this way, only very short transport routes are required in the transport of unwrapped or splices prepared material roles in the camp. The unpacked or splice-prepared rolls of material can then be retrieved from the warehouse later by means of the second trolley and transported on to the roll changer.

In order to make as little change of direction when transporting the material rolls required for reel changer, it is particularly advantageous if the transport in the camp on which the second trolley is movable, extending in virtual extension of the web running direction of the web-processing machine.

Alternatively or in addition thereto, the transport path in the bearing can also extend parallel to the extension of the web running direction of the web-processing machine, whereby in particular very compact system configurations can be realized.

The way in which the storage bins are configured in the warehouse is basically arbitrary. According to a preferred embodiment, the transport path in the bearing extends through the strands through which the storage bins can be approached. This makes it conceivable, for example, that the second trolley loaded piggyback transported first transport trolley to the stitch line and there the first trolley deposits by moving into the stitch line the roll of material to the appropriate storage space. In this way, the first trolley remains with the appropriate roll of material at the storage place until the roll of material is retrieved again from the storage space and transported by charging the first trolley on the second trolley.

Depending on the system configuration, storage bins may be provided on both sides of the transport path or only on one side of the transport path.

For the function of the device as exact as possible positioning of the second trolley is of great importance. If, for example, the second transport trolley is to be positioned in front of a stub line when unloading a first transport trolley, the exact positioning is essential, since otherwise the first transport trolley can not be run into the stub line. It should therefore be provided along at least certain sections of the transport path a Wegmesssystem with which the second trolley can be accurately positioned.

For operational safety, area coverage should continue to be provided to protect the boundaries of the warehouse against unauthorized entry.

In a particularly simple manner, the area security can be formed by attaching a fence at the boundaries of the camp. By using the area security on the reel changer as simultaneous area security of the warehouse, the effort for realizing the area security can be reduced.

For introducing or removing material rolls into the bearing, a lock may be provided in the area protection. In the lock area, the area protection should preferably work non-contact, for example by use of light barriers or ultrasonic sensors. By arranging the sensors at different heights, complex interrogation routines can be realized, so that, for example, material rolls can easily pass through the sheath, whereas an alarm is triggered by an unauthorized exceeding of the sensor signals.

To prevent material rolls in the warehouse from being stored too long, the warehouse should be operated according to the FIFO principle (first in, first out). This means that material rolls that were first fed to the warehouse are also first transported to the roll changer.

Embodiments of the invention are illustrated in the drawings and will be described in more detail below.

In Fig. 1 is a printing system with a device for transporting rolls of material 01 shown in a schematic view from above. From a main bearing 02, the packaged material rolls 01 are transported by means of a suitable means of transport, for example a nip stacker, into the region of an unpacking station 03 and stored there on a roll former 04. In the unpacking station 03, the material rolls 01 are manually rolled onto a first transport carriage 27. The first transport carriage 27 has for this purpose at the top of a suitable trough, which is suitable for the secure storage of the rolls of material 01. At the push of a button, the roll of material 01 is transported to the middle of the unpacking station 03, positioned centrally and then unpacked manually. After unpacking the necessary splices 15 are also attached to the web start of the roll of material 01 by the operator so that the Auspackstation 03 also serves as a splice preparation station 03 at the same time.

The web-processing machine 06 is designed in the manner of a web-fed rotary printing press 06, in which four printing couples 07 are consecutively traversed by a printing material web. The printing substrate can be printed, for example, four-color and two-sided and is then dried in a dryer 08. To supply the printing units 07 to the printing substrate, the web-processing machine 06 is preceded by a reel changer 09, in which two material rolls 01 can be clamped. With the roll changer 09 a flying roll change can be realized without machine downtime.

In particular, the web-fed rotary printing press is gravure printing or

Offset printing machine (eg commercial web press) is formed. Preferably z. Hall floor, bearings and / or roll changers and / or printing units e.g. arranged one behind the other in a plane 20 (based on the web running direction).

In the immediate vicinity of the reel changer 09, a bearing 11 is provided, which is designed as an intermediate storage for storing the daily requirement of rolls of material 01. On both sides of a transport path 12 each eight storage bins 13 are provided in the bearing 11. In each storage place 13, a first transport carriage 27 can be parked with a material roll 01 mounted thereon.

After preparing the splices 15 on the roll of material 01 takes on the Auspackstation 03 in the raised state of the Materialrolle01, a second trolley 27, the roll of material 01 and travels with this to the transfer position to the trolley 32. There, the trolley 27 is piggybacked on the trolley 32 , By moving the second transport carriage 32, the splice-prepared material roll 01 can optionally be conveyed via a transport path 14 directly to the roll changer 09 or via the transport path 12 into the bearing 11. The decision as to whether the material roll 01 is conveyed from the unpacking station 03 directly to the reel changer 09 or into the bearing 11 falls under the control of a material supply system.

If the splice-prepared material roll 01 are conveyed to the bearing 11, then the second transport carriage 32 with the first transport carriage 27 charged thereon and the material roll 01 loaded thereon, travel via the transport path 12 into the storage 11 until an empty storage space 13 is reached. Before the empty storage space 13 of the second trolley 32 is then positioned so that the first trolley 27 can be inserted into the branch path 16 of the storage bin 13. Subsequently, the second trolley 32 leaves the bearing 11 again via the transport path 12, optionally also another first trolley 27 from the Camp 11 can be taken. As soon as a new material roll 01 is requested on the roll changer 09, either a just unrolled roll of material 01 from the unpacking station 03 is conveyed to the roll changer 09 via the transport path 14 or a material roll 01 already provided with splices 15 is conveyed from the bearing 11 to the roll changer 09.

Since the transport path 12 extends through the bearing 11 in virtual extension of the web running direction through the web-processing machine 06, no direction change of the second trolley 32 is required when transporting a roll of material 01 from the bearing 11 to the reel changer 09.

The bearing 11 is protected against unauthorized entry. On three sides of the bearing 11, the protection of a secured area, in particular a fencing formed. On the side facing the reel changer 09 of the bearing 11, a lock 18 is provided in the area safeguard 37 of the reel changer 09. In the area of the lock 18, the area protection 37 by light barriers or sensors, for. B. laser sensors that operate without contact implemented.

When loading or unloading the rolls of material 01 into the bearing 11 is carried out according to the FIFO principle, to prevent the material rolls 01 are stored too long in the bearing 11, whereby the splices 15 are unusable.

In Fig. 2 a second system variant is shown schematically. This variant is different from the one in Fig. 1 illustrated variant in that between the unpacking 03 and the reel changer 09 and the bearing 11, an additional transport path 19 is provided, via which the second trolley 32 the piggyback loaded first trolley 27 and the material roll 01 mounted thereon to the reel changer 09 and the camp 11 transported. In transport path 19 two turntables 21 are installed to the direction changes of the first transport carriage 27th between the unpacking 03 and the bearing 11 and the reel changer 09 to realize.

At the in Fig. 3 shown variant of the plant serving as an intermediate bearing 22 is provided, in which a transport path 23 extends through the bearing 22 and thereby runs at right angles to the web running direction of the web-processing machine 06. When transporting a roll of material 01 from the unpacking 03 to reel changer 09, the first trolley 27 along the transport path 23 passes through the entire camp 22. Depending on the requirements of the control of the material supply system in the unpacking 03 03 splice prepared material roll 01 either temporarily stored in the warehouse 22 or directly promoted to reel changer 09. In addition, if necessary, a roll of material 01, which is already prepared with splices 15, outsourced from the bearing 22 and promoted to reel changer 09. The storage bins 13 of the bearing 22 are located on both sides of the transport path 12, and thus parallel to the web-processing machine 06, resulting in a very compact system configuration.

In Fig. 4 is presented a fourth variation, which is largely the in Fig. 3 corresponds to the system shown. Unlike the in Fig. 3 However, in the case of the bearing 24, only storage bins 13 are provided on the left side of the transport path 12, so that an overall even more compact system configuration is made possible. The control of the system via a control station 26th

In Fig. 5 the reel changer 09 is shown in cross-section. For transporting and removing new or expired material rolls 01, first transport carriages 27 are used. Such known transport carriages 27 are, for example, rail-guided. The trolley 27 has four rollers 28 which roll on rails. To drive the trolley 27 may be provided, for example, a running under floor drag conveyor, the z. B. is designed as a circulating chain. With this necklace is the Dolly 27 connected at least temporarily. On a frame of the trolley 27, a trough-like shell 29 is mounted for receiving the rolls of material 01. This serving as a receptacle shell 29 protrudes from the bottom 31 of the storage room, while the first transport carriage 27 extends sunk below the bottom 31 of the storage room.

In the stitch strings 16 each track sections are provided, in which the first transport carts 27 can enter with their rollers 28. In each storage place 13 to a separate chain drive is provided. Preferably, at least the majority of storage bins 13 have separate chain drives.

The storage bins 13 or stitch cords 16 each receive a roll of material 01 or a transport carriage 27. But these can also record exactly 2 or more rolls of material 01.

For conveying the first transport carriage 27 along the transport paths 12 and 14 are second transport carts 32. The frame of each second transport carriage 32 has a short track section 33, in each of which a first transport carriage 27 can enter with its rollers 28. The second trolleys 32 are also arranged below the floor and provided with four guided on rails rollers 34. To drive the second trolleys 32 also chain conveyor can be used.

The second trolley 32 may in an alternative embodiment, two track sections 33; 33 'had. A distance a of the two track sections 33; 33 'is greater than a maximum diameter D _{max of} the material rolls 01 to be transported. Preferably, the distance a of the two track sections 33; 33 'of the trolley 32 equal to the distance a of the track sections 33; 33 'of the stitch cords 16 of the storage bins 13.

At least one of the transport carriage 27 may carry an adapter for receiving residual roles.

The longitudinal direction and web running direction of the web-processing machine are substantially in the same direction.

Between the storage bins 13 and the reel changer 09 no turntables for the transport trucks 27 are arranged. Similarly, no turntables between the storage bins 13 and the adhesive preparation station 03 are arranged for the transport cars 27.

At least one printing unit 07, the reel changer 09 and the storage bins 13 are arranged approximately in a common plane 20. An arrangement of all printing units 07 in a common plane 20 is advantageous. The processing machine furthermore has a single reel changer. The transport path of the second transport carriage 32 and the longitudinal axis 10 of a dryer 08 of the processing machine are arranged so that they lie in alignment, or are arranged to extend parallel offset.

The reference point is used in the printing units 07 and the reel changer 09, the lower edge of the respective side frame and, at the storage bins 13 receiving the transport carriage 27. The common plane 20 is the building floor.

The device for transporting material rolls works taking into account the specific roll data recorded in the transport or preparation process, such as, for example, Barcode and / or roll width and / or roll status and / or weights (gross, net weight 1, net weight 2) and / or gluing time and / or run length, etc. This includes, for example, data acquisition and / or data maintenance and / or data mapping Overall process, ie from the goods receipt to the sleeve disposal. Thus, the data is maintained and managed in the respective process steps. Associated herewith, for example, the evaluation and storage for further exploitation of this data via a suitable management system. It is also possible to make use of the role data acquired during and after the unwinding process via the reel splicer (s) for transfer to the specific data record of the reel and its allocation.

Furthermore, the device is suitable to act in the transport, preparation and data management processes partial or Rücklieferrollen of the production process and to manage accordingly. This includes all related processes. An expression of this are the with the transports of sub-roles z. B. associated with adapters operations. Also, for example, the management of the adapter (with and without roles) and all necessary operations for this purpose can be integrated.

Another characteristic feature of such a device is the use of multiple trolleys per storage position and all operations required for this purpose.

A variant is also the use of a transfer table with several rail tracks, which allows further optimizations of said device.

Another possible expression is the transport of the sleeve container and its data content to certain, for example, freely selectable positions in the warehouse or to transport other possible positions in said device. Also included here can be other data transfers to the management system or to further evaluation units of the machine or the production preparation.
