Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Umschlaganlegevorrichtung für eine Buchbindemaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a turn-up applying device for a bookbinding machine according to the preamble of claim 1.

Beim Personalisieren von auf Klebebindern hergestellten Broschüren werden die Umschläge unmittelbar vor dem Zusammenführen mit den Buchblocks mit personenbezogenen Daten, beispielsweise einer Adresse, bedruckt. In der US 5,998,620 A sind entsprechende Anordnungen der Bedruckeinrichtung an einer Umschlaganlegevorrichtung des Klebebinders beschrieben.When personalizing booklets made on perfect binders, the envelopes are printed with personal data, such as an address, just prior to merging with the book blocks. In the US 5,998,620 A Corresponding arrangements of the printing device on a cover-applying device of the adhesive binder are described.

Mit der Anordnung des Bedruckeinrichtung unterhalb des Umschlagförderers kann die Außenseite der Umschläge bedruckt werden, um beispielsweise einen individuellen Barcode aufzudrucken, mithilfe dessen personenbezogen zusammengesetzte Druckprodukte bis zum Ende ihres Herstellungsprozesses verfolgbar sind. Die aufgedruckten Barcodes können am Eingang von nachfolgenden Weiterverarbeitungseinrichtungen gelesen werden, zur Durchführung individueller Bearbeitungen, beispielsweise zum Einstecken von weiteren personenbezogenen Inhalten in das Druckprodukt. Mit dem Erfassen des Barcodes am Ende des Herstellungsprozesses kann sichergestellt werden, dass das jeweils personenbezogene Druckprodukt auch tatsächlich hergestellt wurde.With the arrangement of the printing device below the envelope conveyor, the outside of the envelopes can be printed to imprint, for example, an individual barcode, with the help of which personal printed products are traceable to the end of their manufacturing process. The printed bar codes can be read at the input of subsequent processing devices for performing individual processing, for example, for inserting further personal content in the printed product. By capturing the barcode at the end of the manufacturing process, it can be ensured that the personal printed product has actually been produced.

Häufig sind die zum Einsatz kommenden Bedruckeinrichtungen digital gesteuerte InkJet-Druckköpfe, bei denen Tinte bzw. die Druckfarbe in kleinsten Tropfen auf den Umschlag übertragen wird. Ein prozesssicherer und einwandfreier Einsatz dieser Druckköpfe beim Bedrucken von unten ist aber nicht gegeben, weil die Druckköpfe durch herab fallenden Papierstaub verschmutzen. Ein weiteres Problem ist die Farbannahme durch die meist veredelte Umschlagoberfläche. Zurücktropfende Druckfarbe verschlechtert die Druckqualität. Außerdem können die Umschläge erst dann wieder im bedruckten Bereich geführt werden, wenn die applizierte Druckfarbe getrocknet ist. Beim Bedrucken von unten, wo der Druckkopf zwischen den Fördermitteln des Umschlagförderers platziert ist, sind hierdurch der Umschlagformatsbereich sowie die beliebige Platzierung des Aufdrucks stark eingeschränkt.Frequently, the printing devices used are digitally controlled inkjet print heads, in which ink or the ink is transferred in the smallest drops on the envelope. A process-reliable and perfect use of these printheads when printing from the bottom is not given, because the printheads pollute by falling down paper dust. Another problem is the ink acceptance by the most refined envelope surface. The dripping ink degrades the print quality. In addition, the envelopes can be performed again in the printed area only when the applied ink is dried. When printing from below, where the printhead is placed between the conveyors of the envelope conveyor, this greatly limits the envelope size range as well as any placement of the imprint.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Umschlaganlegevorrichtung für eine Buchbindemaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zu schaffen, die ein Bedrucken der Außenseite von aus dem Magazin vereinzelten Umschläge von oben ermöglicht.The present invention has for its object to provide a Umschlaganlegevorrichtung for a bookbinding machine according to the preamble of claim 1, the allows printing on the outside of from the magazine isolated envelopes from above.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass die Transporteinrichtung für die vereinzelten Umschläge eine Wendeeinrichtung umfasst, sodass die Umschläge während ihrer Zuführung mit zumindest teilweise nach oben gerichteter Außenseite förderbar sind. Die Bedruckeinrichtung zum Bedrucken der Außenseite ist dann oberhalb des Umschlagtransports angeordnet, mit der Vorteilen einer erheblich geringeren Verschmutzung der Bedruckeinrichtung durch Papierstaub und einer wesentlich verbesserten Übertragung der Druckfarbe bzw. Tinte auf die Umschlagoberfläche, denn die Gewichtskraft der Tröpfchen wirkt der Farbannahme nicht mehr entgegen.This object is achieved in that the transport device for the isolated envelopes comprises a turning device, so that the envelopes during their delivery with at least partially upwardly directed outside are conveyed. The printing device for printing on the outside is then arranged above the envelope transport, with the advantages of significantly less contamination of the printing device by paper dust and a significantly improved transfer of the ink or ink on the cover surface, because the weight of the droplets no longer opposes the ink acceptance.

In zweckmäßiger Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass sich an die Bedruckeinrichtung eine Förderstrecke zum Trocknen des bedruckten Umschlags anschließt, ohne dass dabei die bedruckte Fläche des Umschlags von Führungs- und/oder Fördermitteln der Transporteinrichtung kontaktiert wird.In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the printing device is followed by a conveying path for drying the printed envelope, without the printed surface of the envelope being contacted by guiding and / or conveying means of the transport device.

In bevorzugter Weiterausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass die Wendeeinrichtung einen die Umschläge einspannenden Förderer umfasst, wodurch ein positionsgenauer Transport des Umschlags und damit ein exaktes Bedrucken ermöglicht wird. Vorteilhaft ist, wenn der die Umschläge einspannende Förderer von einem die Umschläge im Rückenbereich erfassenden Riemenpaar gebildet ist, wodurch die Außenseiten beider Umschlagdeckel für eine Bedruckung freigehalten sind.In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the turning device comprises a conveyor embracing the envelopes, whereby a positionally accurate transport of the envelope and thus an exact printing is possible. It is advantageous if the envelopes spanning the conveyor is formed by the envelopes in the back region detecting pair of belts, whereby the outer sides of both cover cover are kept free for printing.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform gemäß Anspruch 5 ist vorgesehen, dass die Wendeeinrichtung als Wendeförderer ausgebildet ist, mit einem zur Längsachse verdrillt zueinander angeordnetem Riemenpaar. Der komplette Umschlag wird dabei um eine zur Förderrichtung parallele Längsachse verdreht. Der Wendeförderer kann für einen einmaligen Wendevorgang um 180° ausgebildet sein. Dabei werden die Umschläge mit oben liegender Außenseite aus dem Magazin vereinzelt. Sie werden von oben bedruckt und anschließend um 180° in die richtige Lage für den Fügevorgang mit den Buchblocks gewendet. Für ein temporäres Wenden der Umschläge ist ein zweistufiges, intermittierend rotierendes Wenden um jeweils ca. 180° vorgesehen oder ein vor und zurück gerichteter Wendevorgang um jeweils mehr als 90°. Beim temporären Wenden werden die Umschläge mit unten liegender Außenseite aus dem Magazin vereinzelt und für das Bedrucken von oben um mehr als 90° gewendet und erst nach dem Trocknen der Druckfarbe wieder zurück oder weiter gewendet.In a first embodiment according to claim 5 it is provided that the turning device is designed as a turning conveyor, with a twisted to the longitudinal axis to each other arranged belt pair. The complete envelope is thereby rotated about a longitudinal axis parallel to the conveying direction. The turning conveyor can be designed for a single turning operation by 180 °. The envelopes are separated with top outside from the magazine. They are printed from above and then turned by 180 ° in the correct position for the joining process with the book blocks. For a temporary turning of the envelopes, a two-stage, intermittently rotating turning by about 180 ° is provided or a forward and backward turning process by more than 90 °. In the case of temporary turning, the envelopes are separated from the magazine with the outer side lying underneath and turned over more than 90 ° for printing from above, and then turned back or turned further after the printing ink has dried.

Bei einer zweiten Ausführungsform gemäß Anspruch 9 ist vorgesehen, dass die Wendeeinrichtung von Leitmitteln gebildet ist, zum temporären Umklappen von wenigstens einer Deckelseite des Umschlags um mehr als 90°. Die Umschläge werden in bekannter Weise mit unten liegender Außenseite transportiert. Nur die zu bedruckende Deckelseite wird umgeklappt, wobei bereits ein um etwas mehr als 90° umgeklappter Deckel gemäß der Erfindungsaufgabe bedruckbar ist, weil die Druckrichtung eine Komponente in Richtung der Schwerkraft aufweist.In a second embodiment according to claim 9 it is provided that the turning device is formed by guide means for temporarily folding over at least one cover side of the envelope by more than 90 °. The envelopes are transported in a known manner with the outside lying down. Only the lid side to be printed is folded over, whereby a cover folded over by a little more than 90 ° according to the invention problem can already be printed because the printing direction has a component in the direction of gravity.

Eine dritte Ausführungsform ist im Anspruch 10 angegeben. Die Wendeeinrichtung ist als Loopingförderer ausgebildet. Vorzugsweise ist die Bedruckeinrichtung im Bereich des oberen Scheitelpunkts des Loopings angeordnet. Die anschließende Transportstrecke bis in die eigentliche Zuführungsförderebene dient dabei als Trockenstrecke.A third embodiment is specified in claim 10. The turning device is designed as a looping conveyor. Preferably, the printing device is arranged in the region of the upper vertex of the loop. The subsequent transport route to the actual feed conveying plane serves as a drying section.

Die in den Figuren 1 bis 3 dargestellten Umschlaganlegevorrichtungen 10.1, 10.2 und 10.3 sind jeweils für einen Klebebinder vorgesehen, dessen Buchblocktransportsystem eine Vielzahl von in einer geschlossenen Umlaufbahn kontinuierlich bewegbaren Buchblockzangen 15 aufweist, wobei davon in den Figuren 1 bis 3 aus Darstellungsgründen nur zwei Buchblockzangen 15 abgebildet sind. Die Buchblockzangen 15 bestehen jeweils aus einer inneren Klemmbacke 15 a und einer äußeren Klemmbacke 15 b, zur seitlich eingespannten Aufnahme eines Buchblocks 7 unter Freilassung eines nach unten gerichteten Rückenaushangs.The Umschlaganlegevorrichtungen 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 shown in Figures 1 to 3 are each provided for an adhesive binder whose Buchblocktransportsystem has a plurality of continuously movable in a closed orbit book block nippers 15, of which in Figures 1 to 3 for purposes of illustration, only two book block tongs 15th are shown. The book block pliers 15 each consist of an inner jaw 15 a and an outer jaw 15 b, for laterally clamped receiving a book block 7, leaving a downward Rückenaushangs.

Während ihres Umlaufs werden die Buchblocks 7 zunächst am Rücken bearbeitet und mit Klebstoff am Rücken und rückennahen Seitenflächen versehen. Ausgangs einer Umlenkung in der Umlaufbahn wird dann ein Umschlag 1 positionsgenau zugeführt und am Rücken und ggf. an die Seitenbereiche des Buchblocks 7 angedrückt. Von dieser Anpresseinrichtung ist in den Figuren 1 bis 3 aus Darstellungsgründen lediglich eine Andrückrolle 14 dargestellt, zum erstmaligen Andrücken des Umschlags 1 an den Rücken des Buchblocks 7.During their circulation, the book blocks 7 are first processed on the back and provided with adhesive on the back and near-side surfaces. Output of a deflection in the orbit then an envelope 1 is accurately fed and pressed on the back and possibly on the side portions of the book block 7. Of these pressing device is only a pressure roller in the figures 1 to 3 for illustrative purposes 14, for the first time pressing the envelope 1 to the back of the book block. 7

Die Umschläge 1 werden in den Umschlaganlegevorrichtungen 10.1, 10.2 und 10.3 in Magazinen 11 bevorratet. Nach taktgemäßer Vereinzelung werden sie an eine Transporteinrichtung zur Zuführung zum jeweiligen Buchblock 7 übergeben. Dabei durchlaufen sie eine Rilleinrichtung 16 zur Ausbildung von Biegestellen. Anzahl und Ausbildung der Rillen hängen von der Broschurenart ab. Die innen liegenden Rückenrillen definieren einen Rückenbereich 4 im Umschlag 1, der mit dem Blockrücken verklebt wird.The envelopes 1 are stored in the envelope application devices 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 in magazines 11. After clockwise separation they are transferred to a transport device for feeding to the respective book block 7. They go through a groove means 16 for the formation of bending points. The number and formation of the grooves depends on the type of brochure. The inside back grooves define a back region 4 in the envelope 1, which is glued to the block back.

Die Transporteinrichtung für die Umschläge 1 umfasst einen Umschlagförderer 12 mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten endlosen Fördermitteln 13, welche in festen Taktabständen angeordnete, die Umschläge 1 vorschiebende Mitnehmer 13 a aufweisen.The transport device for the envelopes 1 comprises an envelope conveyor 12 with two juxtaposed endless conveyor 13, which arranged at fixed pitches, the envelopes 1 vorschiebende carrier 13 a have.

Dadurch dass die Buchblocks 7 im Klebebinder mit nach unten gerichtetem Rücken transportiert werden, müssen die Umschläge 1 mit oben liegender Innenseite 2 zugeführt werden. Demnach liegt die Außenseite 3 beim Fügen mit dem Buchblock 7 unten. Die bevorzugte Produktorientierung im Klebebinder sieht vor, dass der Kopf 5 des Umschlags 1, in Transportrichtung gesehen, hinten liegt und der Fuß 6 vorläuft.Because the book blocks 7 are transported in the perfect binder with the spine facing downwards, the envelopes 1 must be supplied with the inside 2 facing upwards. Accordingly, the outside is 3 when joining with the book block 7 below. The preferred product orientation in the perfect binder provides that the head 5 of the envelope 1, viewed in the direction of transport, is located at the back and the foot 6 advances.

Zum (individuellen) Bedrucken der Umschläge 1, beispielsweise mit einer Adresse 8, ist ein InkJet-Druckkopf 17 als Bedruckeinrichtung in der Umschlagtransporteinrichtung vorgesehen. Der InkJet-Druckkopf 17 ist in den abgebildeten Ausführungsformen der Erfindung oberhalb des Umschlagstransports angeordnet.For (individual) printing of the envelopes 1, for example with an address 8, an inkjet print head 17 is provided as a printing device in the envelope transport device. The inkjet printhead 17 is located above the envelope transport in the illustrated embodiments of the invention.

Zum Bedrucken der Umschlag-Außenseite 3, die beim Fügen mit dem Buchblock 7 unten liegt, ist erfindungsgemäß in der Umschlagtransporteinrichtung eine Wendeeinrichtung 21, 31 a, b bzw. 41 vorgesehen, sodass zumindest ein zu bedruckender Bereich der Umschlag-Außenseite 3 während des Bedruckens nach oben zeigt und somit von oben her bedruckbar ist.For printing on the envelope outer side 3, which lies below the book block 7 during joining, according to the invention a turning device 21, 31a, b or 41 is provided in the envelope transport device, so that at least one area to be printed on the envelope outside 3 during printing pointing upwards and thus can be printed from above.

In einer ersten Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 1 ist ein Wendeförderer 21 vorgesehen mit zwei zur Längsachse verdrillt zueinander angeordneten Förderriemen 22 a, b, zwischen denen die Umschläge 1 eingespannt sind. Die Anordnung gemäß Figur 1 ermöglicht das Wenden der Umschläge 1 um 180°. Die Umschläge 1 werden daher mit oben liegender Außenseite 3 in das Magazin 11 angelegt. Unmittelbar nach ihrer Vereinzelung kann ihre Außenseite 3 von oben her mit dem InkJet-Druckkopf 17 bedruckt werden. Anschließend werden die Umschläge 1 in die für den Fügevorgang mit den Buchblocks 7 richtige Lage gewendet und dem Umschlagförderer 12 übergeben, zum positionsgenauen Zuführen zum jeweiligen Buchblock 7.In a first embodiment according to FIG. 1, a turning conveyor 21 is provided with two conveying belts 22 a, b, which are twisted relative to one another in relation to the longitudinal axis, between which the envelopes 1 are clamped. The arrangement of Figure 1 allows the turning of the envelopes 1 by 180 °. The envelopes 1 are therefore applied with the top outside 3 in the magazine 11. Immediately after their separation their outer side 3 can be printed from above with the inkjet print head 17. Subsequently, the envelopes 1 in the correct for the joining process with the book blocks 7 position turned and handed over to the envelope conveyor 12, for positionally accurate feeding to the respective book block. 7

Der Wendeförderer 21 könnte auch als 360°-Wendeförderer ausgebildet sein, sodass die Umschläge 1 wie üblich mit unten liegender Außenseite 3 angelegt werden. Das Bedrucken erfolgt dann ungefähr in der Mitte des Wendevorgangs, wenn die Außenseite 3 nach oben gerichtet ist. Außerdem ist ein Wendeförderer denkbar, der die Umschläge zunächst um etwas mehr als 90° bis maximal 180° wendet, um sie nach dem Bedrucken wieder in ihrer ursprüngliche Lage zurückzuwenden.The turning conveyor 21 could also be designed as a 360 ° turning conveyor, so that the envelopes 1 are applied as usual with the outside 3 lying down. The printing takes place approximately in the middle of the turning process, when the outside 3 is directed upward. In addition, a turning conveyor is conceivable, which initially turns the envelopes by a little more than 90 ° to a maximum of 180 ° to return them after printing back to its original position.

In einer zweiten Ausführungsform gemäß Figur 2 sind Leitstangen 31 a, b vorgesehen, als Leitmittel zum temporären Umklappen von wenigstens einer, auf der Außenseite 3 zu bedruckenden Deckelseite des Umschlags 1. Dabei werden die mit ihrer Außenseite 3 unten liegend geförderten Umschläge 1 von einem aus Förderriemen 33 a, b gebildeten Klemmförderer 32 eingespannt transportiert, wobei zumindest die umzuklappende Deckelseite freigelassen ist. Bereits ein um etwas mehr als 90° umgeklappter Deckel ist erfindungsgemäß von oben her bedruckbar.
