Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of promotion and processing of printed products and relates to a method and an apparatus according to the preambles of the corresponding independent claims.
  • Method and apparatus are used for inserting flat objects in continuously conveyed printed products.
  • the printed products are for example newspapers, magazines or brochures, ie folded or bound printed products, which are opened for insertion.
  • the flat objects are, for example, other printed products (eg folded or bound inserts, postcards, single sheets) or other objects (eg CDs, sample bags) and in each printed product is ever an object or unit handled as a group item (plurality of identical or different flat objects) inserted ,
  • printed products are opened and flat objects are inserted therein, for example by passing the printed products to a rotating insertion drum in which they are held in V-shaped pockets in an open position and displaced simultaneously with the rotation in the axial direction. that they are conveyed past a feed point with each revolution of the drum.
  • a flat article is usually introduced from above into each printed product conveyed past, such that the article is subjected to gravity by the action of gravity inner side of the folded or bundle edge of the printed product is driven and positioned at this stop.
  • Said insertion drum is a large and relatively expensive device, the application of which is actually only justified if multiple Zu Replacementslitis are necessary, that is, if a plurality of different flat objects in each printed product to be introduced and these items are not handled as a unit, or to be handled.
  • the pockets consist of two pocket parts and the grippers of the gripper transporter are conveyed around a part of the pocket circulation between the pocket parts and aligned on the bottom.
  • the printed products held by the grippers in the pockets are opened and kept open at the feed point during the advancement.
  • the grippers are also temporarily opened during the forwarding at the feed point.
  • the pockets are provided with holding means and are conveyed substantially straight and horizontal (with the opening towards the top) at the feed point.
  • the device according to EP-0448679 is easier than a plug-in drum, but is still quite expensive and has the disadvantage that the gripper of the gripper transporter, with the aid of the printed products are conveyed into the pockets, in den.Taschen past the feed point and then out of the pockets, must have a distance in front of each other, which is sufficiently large for a Einsteckvorgang during a straight, horizontal conveying.
  • this is not the case, for example, for the gripper transporters with a gripper spacing of approximately 10 cm, which are widely used for the transport of printed products.
  • the printed products must therefore be handed over to a special gripper transporter, which means more device-related outlay and, for the same throughput, higher conveying speeds.
  • the invention is now the tasks, methods and apparatus according to the prior art for the insertion of flat objects in continuously promoted printed products, prior art, as he, for example, by the publication EP-0448679 is known to improve to the effect that they are easier and that they are cooperatively usable in particular with a common gripper transporter, that is, with a gripper conveyor with a for insertion according to EP-0448679 too small gripper distance.
  • the feed point is arranged in the region of a deflection of the gripper conveyor, in which deflection of the gripper conveyor is deflected from bottom to top by a substantially horizontal deflection axis by more than 90 °, advantageously about 180 °.
  • the printed products are held by the grippers of the gripper conveyor at their folding or collar edges, suspended supported against the deflection and they are opened before the deflection (advantageously immediately before the deflection) in a conventional manner.
  • a leading and a trailing product part are separated from each other and there is a folding or federal edge opposite opening, but is too narrow for the insertion of the flat objects using a conventional Greifertransporteurs.
  • each incoming, already opened printed product is further opened at this inlet because the clamping elements have a greater radial distance from the deflection axis than the grippers, ie the clamping elements have a greater distance than the grippers. This will be the openings of the printed products even when using a conventional Greifertransporteurs for insertion wide enough.
  • the feed point is arranged, in which the flat objects are inserted.
  • the inserted objects are driven by gravity against the inside of the fold or waistband edge.
  • the gripper are temporarily opened, so that the inserted objects by gravity completely to the.
  • Inside of the fold or waistband edge are applied to be seized when reclosing the gripper together with the printed products can.
  • the clamping elements are deactivated, that is brought into a non-clamping configuration, at the latest where the grippers from the deflection run out, and at the earliest when the grippers are closed again.
  • the advantages of the method and apparatus according to the invention over known methods and apparatuses serving the same purpose are, in particular, that the means by which the printed products are kept in a condition suitable for the insertion of the flat objects and for the temporary opening of the grippers , Significantly easier (two attacking in corner areas clamping elements in contrast to two-piece, equipped with holding means V-shaped pockets) and that, thanks to the disposed in the region of the deflection Zu exchangestelle the gripper clearance on the gripper conveyor can be significantly smaller, so that in particular uses a common gripper conveyor can be and must not be passed to a special gripper transporter, the printed products for the insertion process.
  • the device can also be adapted in a very simple manner to different formats of printed products and brought in a likewise simple manner in a non-operative state in which they a normal, completely unobstructed use of the gripper transporter (without plugging) allowed.
  • FIG. 1 shows the principle of the inventive method with reference to a very schematically and incompletely shown device (angle of view transverse to the conveying direction, ie parallel to the deflection axis).
  • the Greiferforderer 1 with grippers 11, which is deflected around the deflection axis 2 from bottom to top (arrow U) the printed products 3 are required by the gripper 11 of the gripper requestor 1 on the folding or collar edges hanging required in the deflection.
  • the pre and trailing parts 31 and 32 of the printed products 3 are separated from each other with an opening means, not shown, and the printed products thereby opened.
  • clamping elements 4 (only the clamping elements on one side of the gripper transporter are visible), which are synchronized with the grippers 11 are driven to rotate around the deflection axis 2, for example, they move approximately centrally between each two adjacent grippers.
  • the clamping elements 4 are radially spaced from the grippers 11, wherein this distance between gripper 11 and clamping elements 4 is tuned to the height (in the supply substantially perpendicular and transverse to the conveying direction) of the opened printed products.
  • the axial distance between the clamping elements of a clamping element pair is adapted to the width (horizontal and perpendicular to the conveying direction) of the printed products
  • the clamping elements 4 take over the opening means separated by the opening and trailing parts 31 and 32 of the open printed products 3 at the inlet of the gripper 11 in the deflection, characterized in that they are opposite the folding or collar edges corner regions of the trailing portion 32 of a printed product and clamp together the corresponding corner regions of the leading part 31 of the secondary product. Each printed product 3 is thereby opened further when entering the deflection.
  • the width of its opening no longer corresponds to the gripper spacing A but according to the radial distance between gripper and clamping elements larger (B), so that the opening for insertion wide enough is.
  • the feed point 5 (shown schematically by an arrow), to which the flat items (not shown) to be inserted are inserted and inserted into the printed products 3 conveyed around the deflection and held open by the clamping elements 4, is on or above a substantially horizontal one Plane H, in which the deflection axis 2 is located, arranged, that is, in a position in which the opening 33 of the printed products 3 at least as high, advantageously higher than the folding or waistband edge.
  • the clamping elements 4 are activated at the inlet of the gripper 11 in the deflection (activation point 6). At the latest at the outlet of the gripper 11 from the deflection and earliest after the feeding point 5, they are deactivated again (deactivation point 7).
  • the grippers 11 are temporarily opened as long as the clamping elements are activated, whereby they are opened before or after the feed point 5 (exemplary opening point 8) and closed again after the feed point 5 (exemplary closing point 9).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show an exemplary embodiment of a device with which, as in connection with the FIG. 1 described flat objects 20 can be inserted in continuously conveyed past a feed point 5, open printed products 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows the device in the same way as FIG. 1 , ie with a viewing direction transverse to the conveying direction (parallel to the deflection axis 2).
  • FIG. 3 shows the region of the device in which the grippers run into the deflection, in a substantially vertical, aligned parallel to the deflection axis 2 section.
  • the same elements are identified by the same reference numerals as in FIG FIG. 1 ,
  • the device part 40 which carries the clamping elements 4, and the opening means 50th
  • the device part 40 is formed as a pair of mirror-image and arranged on both sides of the deflection, about the deflection axis 2 rotatably driven spoked wheels 40.1 and 40.2, each spoke 41 carries a clamping element 4.
  • the two spoke wheels 40,1 and 40.2 are advantageously mounted on the same axis as a deflection of the gripper transporter causing Umlenkungsrad and are advantageously driven by this axis.
  • the axial distance between two mutually aligned spokes 41, each belonging to one of the spoke wheels 40.1 and 40.2 is greater than the width of the printed products to be handled and advantageously for the handling of different widths printed products adjustable (double arrow C).
  • the clamping elements 4 each have two clamping jaws 4.1 and 4.2, wherein the clamping jaws are arranged pivotable about the spoke 41, such that they are aligned in the activated configuration of the clamping element 4 substantially parallel to the deflection axis 2 and pressed against each other. In the deactivated configuration of the clamping element 4, the clamping jaws 4.1 and 4.2 are pivoted so far apart that they do not come into contact with the printed products 3.
  • the radial length of the spokes 41 is adjustable (double arrow D) for adapting the device to different heights of print products 3 to be handled.
  • the clamping elements 4 can also be displaceable along the spokes 41.
  • the opening means 50 has in known manner an opening band 51, an opening wheel 52 and an opening screw 53 and is particularly suitable for opening printed products with prefold (leading portion 31 extends slightly further down than trailing portion 32, or vice versa).
  • the opening belt 51 is arranged below the gripper conveyor 1 and driven at a slightly greater speed than the gripper conveyor 1, that it bends the lower portions of the printed products 3 slightly forward.
  • the opening wheel 52 is disposed at the end of the opening band 51 and has teeth that engage between the leading and the trailing product part.
  • the rotationally driven opening screw 53 which has a screw pitch which increases in the conveying direction, joins the opening wheel 52 and merges the product parts of adjacent printed products separated by the opening wheel 52 and slightly enlarges the opening achieved by the opening wheel 52.
  • the merged product parts 31 and 32 are each detected by a pair of clamping elements in the corner areas opposite the folding or collar edge. How out FIG. 3 is apparent, are advantageously two to provide parallel and counter-rotating and driven opening screws 53.
  • the position of the gripper is relative to the conveying direction during the deflection constant (gripper blocked). After the deflection, that is, when the printed products and the inserted objects are held securely by the grippers and are no longer held by the clamping elements, the grippers can be released again and assume depending on gravity adjusting pivotal positions relative to the conveying direction.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 show in the same way as the FIGS. 2 and 3 the device in a non-operative state, that is, in a state in which the printed products are 3 promoted by the gripper feed dog 1 to the deflection without being opened without their leading and trailing parts are detected by the clamping elements 4, without that the grippers 11 are opened and without flat objects are inserted. If the device according to the invention is in this non-operative state, it is of course necessary to stop the supply of items to be inserted. In addition, only the opening means 50 is displaced downwards and optionally stopped and the two spoke wheels 40.1 and 40.2 are moved axially apart so that they are decoupled from the drive and the clamping elements 4 advantageously not come into contact with the printed products 3 regardless of their configuration.
  • control of the gripper 11 to turn off the temporary gripper opening is connected to one of the spoke wheels 40.1 or 40.2 and is pushed out of the area of the gripper conveyor by the axial movement apart of the spoke wheels and thereby switched to inactive.
  • FIGS. 2 to 5 it is obviously very simple to use the device according to the invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 is shown in a non-operative state and from this back to an operative state.
