Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for controlling sheet-like products transported by means of staples of a transport device, in particular printed products, according to patent claim 1 and a device for carrying out the method according to patent claim 13.
- a method and a device for conveying flat products are known in which two or more products in the region of their leading edges are gripped jointly by grippers of a gripper conveyor such that the edges are mutually spaced apart from each other , In a transfer area, the products are transferred to a removal device such that each product at most partially overlaps the product previously transferred, with the leading edges of the products being spaced from each other. As a result, the products are directly accessible for further processing. If a gripper of the gripper conveyor is not equipped with the correct number of products or incorrect products, this can lead to problems during further processing, for example by not supplying the correct number of products or incorrect products to a further processing station.
- EP 0 685 420 A discloses a control method for use in the production of printed products. which can be used in high-performance production processes of printed products by collecting, inserting and / or collating, for example with a drum. The resulting products are compared after each addition of another component by taking a picture with an image pickup device and comparing the recorded image with a corresponding stored calibration image and the comparison results for generating control signals, for example, for the discharge of defective products, or used by alarm signals.
- EP 0 897 887 A discloses a method and a device for controlling the thickness of continuously conveyed flat objects.
- Control elements are introduced into the flow of individually conveyed printed products and assigned to each printed product.
- the control elements consist of a pair of control levers with clamping jaws, which are pressed against each other with a pressing force and pinch between the printed product.
- the control element and the printed product jointly pass through a control area.
- this control area for the quantitative registration of the interaction between the control element and the printed product, an image acquisition is made of each edge of the two control levers to be imaged and the distance between these edges varying with the thickness of the pressed printed product, from which image acquisition a measured value corresponding to the distance is determined.
- the measurement of the imaged distance is compared with a nominal range associated with each control element.
- the setpoint range is a predetermined tolerance range that is combined with a setpoint value from a calibration measurement. wherein the calibration measurement is performed for the specific control element and a correct product.
- Control allows each of the products carrying the clip to be properly populated with two correct products. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for carrying out the method.
- a first product carrying an identification information and a second product likewise carrying an identification information are jointly held and transported jointly by a clamp of a transport device such that the second product partially overlaps the first product and on the first product an edge section carrying the identification information and the identification information of the first product second product on the same side of the products.
- the respective common transport of two products with a clamp allows, compared to the individual transport of the products, with the same power stroke, a doubling of the transport capacity or with the same transport capacity halving the power stroke or the speed at which staples are moved, resulting in a very quiet running the transport device leads.
- the inventive method works without contact, the risk of damage to the products is avoided.
- the optical-electronic control allows very high processing speeds. Furthermore, the cost of the control according to the inventive method is low, since the corresponding device does not have to have any moving parts. Furthermore, the method according to the invention makes it possible to check whether each of the clamps is fitted with two correct products, which enables reliable, correct further processing or alarming and discharge of incorrect products.

- the information field 28 of the first printed product 20 is in the field of view of the image recording device 38. If the clamp 20 has moved further by the width B of the edge section 26 in the conveying direction F, the information field is located 28 'of the second printed product 22 in the field of view of the image pickup device 38. It is also possible to set or position the image recording device 38 such that in the position of the clip 12 shown, the image field 32 with the information fields 28 and 28 'lies in the field of view of the image recording device 38.
- the processing unit 40 has a memory 44 for digital storage of a calibration image E. Furthermore, an electronic comparison unit 46, for example in the form of a microprocessor, is provided in the processing unit 40, which is intended to compare digitized images recorded by the image recording device 38 with the digital calibration image E. Depending on this comparison, the further processing station 42 generates the control signals S.
- the image pickup device 38 is directed approximately at right angles to the main surface of the printed products 20, 22, which is predetermined by the mouth 16 of the brackets 12.
- Staples 12 in turn at a distance at in
- Conveying direction F circumferentially driven conveying member 14 is arranged.
- Conveying direction F circumferentially driven conveying member 14 is arranged.
- a first printed product is also here in each case
- the two printed products 20, 22 each have an information field 28, 28 'with identification information 30, 30'.
- control device 36 of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 The only difference of the control device 36 of the embodiment shown in Figure 2 over that according to Figure 1 is that the image pickup device
- Main surface of the printed products 20, 22 is arranged obliquely at an angle of approximately 45 °.
- FIG. 3 shows a section of a transport device 10 which is of the same design as that according to FIG. 2, but with the clamps 12 being pivoted about their pivot axis perpendicular to the conveying direction F such that the mouth 16 of the clamps 12 is inclined by approximately 45 ° relative to a vertical axis ° is directed with respect to the conveying direction F backwards and towards the bottom.
- the image recording device 38 can be arranged the same even with this pivotal position of the brackets 12, as with vertically hanging down transporting the printed products 20, 22 according to Figure 2.
- Staple sensor 34 is positioned so that it outputs a trigger signal T at the time, to which the information field 28 of the first printed product 20 is in the field of view of the image pickup device 38.
- FIG. 4 shows the jaws 18 of four clamps 12 of the embodiment of the transport device 10 shown in FIG. 2, which are incorrectly equipped with printed products 20, 22.
- the first bracket 12 seen from the left is equipped with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22 in the correct position.
- the dot-dash line indicated first printed product 20, however, is a wrong printed product, which carries no or a non-correct identification information 30 in the area of the information field 28.
- the " second printed product 22 is a correct product with the appropriate identification information 30 '.
- the second clamp 12 is also equipped with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22 in the correct position.
- the first printed product 20 is a correct product with the appropriate identification information 30 in the information field 28, while the second printed product 22 is a wrong product which carries no or incorrect identification information 30 'in the area of the information field 28'.
- the wrong printed products 20, 22 may be, for example, incomplete printed products in which at least the outermost sheet is missing. Furthermore, it is conceivable that the first or second printed product 20, 22 indicated by dashed lines in the two mentioned brackets 12 is missing and the relevant clamp 12 only with a second or first printed product 22 is equipped. The above-mentioned incorrect mounting of the brackets 12 can be recognized by means of the optical-electronic control. If a clamp 12 is equipped only with a single printed product 20 or 22, this can optionally be used for further processing, it then does not need to be discharged.
- the third staple 12 from the left in FIG. 4 is fitted correctly with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22. However, erroneously lies on the first printed product 20 on its side facing away from the second printed product 22 side congruent to a third printed product 48, which is not detected by the optical-electronic control alone.
- the fourth bracket 12 is also equipped with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22 in the correct position, but on the second printed product 22 on its side facing away from the first printed product 20 side, a third printed product 48 rests congruent. If this third printed product 48 carries an identification which corresponds to the identification information 30 'of the second printed product 22, the incorrect assembly of the clip 12 can not be detected by means of the optoelectronic control alone.
- the clamp 12 shown on the right in FIG. 5 is correctly equipped with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22.
- a device 50 for controlling the total thickness of the printed products 20, 22 and 16 transported together by a clamp 12 downstream of the control point 33 can be provided optionally 48, 48 'may be arranged.
- a device suitable for this purpose for controlling the thickness of the jointly transported printed products 20, 22 is known from EP 0 897 887 A. With regard to the structure and operation of this device 50, reference is expressly made to the EP publication.
- FIG. 6 shows a section of the transport device 10 with three clamps 12 which are correctly equipped with a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22.
- the device 50 for controlling the thickness of the printed products 20, 22 transported jointly by each clip 12.
- the device has a plurality of control elements 52, which are arranged equidistantly on the circumference of a control disk 54 and substantially each of a relatively to the control disk 54 stationary control lever 56 and a relative to the control disk 54 pivotable about a pivot axis 58 control lever 60 consist.
- Both control levers 56, 60 each have a clamping jaw 62 in their free end regions, wherein the clamping jaws 62 of each control element 52 are directed against each other and aligned for clamping the printed products 20, 22 transported together by a clamp 12.
- each control element 52 is spring-loaded in the direction against the stationary control lever 56. Further, it has a control roller 64, which rolls when turning the control disk 54 - this happens synchronously to the movement of the brackets 12 of the transport device 10 - on a stationary, not shown Steuerkulisse.
- the control link is designed such that the pivotable control lever 60 is kept at a distance from the spring force of the stationary control lever 56, except in a control area in which the control element 52 is in communication with the printed by a clamp 12 printed products 20, 22 in interaction. In this control area, the control roller 14 does not roll on the corresponding link, but the position of the pivotable control lever 60 by the spring force and by the total thickness of the clamped between the jaws 62 printed products 20, 22 is determined.
- the thickness of the clamped printed products 20, 22 is determined by the position of the pivotable control lever 60 with respect to the stationary control lever 56, for example by optical detection and electronic evaluation, as is known from EP 0 897 887 A.
- the device 50 can erroneous items, as shown for example in Figure 4 in the third and fourth bracket 12 from the left and in Figure 5 in the bracket 12 shown on the left, are detected.
- the device 50 also outputs control signals to the further processing station 42 in order to take into account the misfires in the further processing.
- the optical-electronic control of the first printed products 20 and second printed products 22 transported together by a clamp 12 can be carried out as follows. Whenever a clamp 12 reaches the control point 33, the clamp sensor 34 outputs a trigger signal T to the processing unit 40. This generates and transmits to the image recording device 38 a recording command, whereupon the image recording device 38 captures an image of the identification information 30 of the first printed product 20. With a time delay dependent on the conveying speed v and the nominal distance B of the leading edges 24, 24 'of the first and second printed products 20, 22, the processing unit 40 sends another recording command to the image recording device 38, which accordingly displays an image of the identification information 30' of the second Druckereiecks 22 receives. The digitized images, which are each transmitted directly to the processing unit 40 by the image recording device 38, are compared with the data of the calibration image E by means of the comparison unit 46.
- control signal S may also be an alarm signal to trigger an alarm upon detection of an incorrectly fitted bracket 12.
- the further processing station 42 may be, for example, a discharge station in order to open the clamps 12 which are not correctly equipped with printed products 20, 22 and to release these printed products from the delivery stream.
- the named operating mode of the control device 36 is particularly suitable when. identical printed products 20, 22 can be transported with the same identification information 30, 30 ". With this operating mode it is also possible to determine whether the first and / or second printed products 20, 22 are a correct or wrong printed product.
- the image acquisition device 38 such that it forms an image of the entire image field 32 with the identification information 30, 30 'of the first image Printed product 20 and the second printed product 22 can accommodate.
- the processing unit 40 in response to a trigger signal T from each a single recording command to the image pickup device 38 from.
- the image captured by the image field 42 is in turn compared electronically by means of the comparison unit 46 with a corresponding digitally stored calibration image E and, depending on the result of the comparison, the control device 36 generates a corresponding control signal S and forwards it to the further processing state 42.
- This mode is suitable both for the case in which a first printed product 20 and a second printed product 22 should be transported with the same identification information 30, 30 'held by a clamp 12, as well as in the case where the first printed product 20 and the second Printed product 22 different
- the processing unit 40 responsive to trigger pulses T delayed, generates the capture commands for the imaging device 38.
- the optoelectronic control such that the image capture device 38 continuously captures images and forwards the corresponding image data to the processing unit 40. If this receives a trigger signal T. gives it. - As a function of the conveying speed v and the target distance B between the leading edges 24, 24 'of the first and second print products 20, 22 - a first time window and then a second time window, within which the comparison unit 46 compares the recorded images with the calibration image E. If a recorded image corresponds to the calibration image E within the first and the second time interval, the relevant clamp 12 is correctly populated. Otherwise, a wrong equipment is given.
- the processing unit 40 generates a corresponding control signal as a function of the result of the electronic processing and forwards it to the further processing station 42.
- This operating mode is particularly suitable when first and second printed products 20, 22 are to be transported with the same identification information 30, 30 'and the speed v at which the clamps 12 move can be different. This may for example be the case when the brackets 12 are not attached to a driven conveyor member 14 but are arranged, for example, on carriages or carriages which move freely along a path, for example with a slope.
- the processing unit 40 is in response to a trigger signal T out Time interval free, after which it is checked in the comparison unit 46, whether one of the images taken in this time interval coincides with the calibration image E.
- T out Time interval free is particularly suitable when As shown in the previous example, with different speeds consecutive brackets 12 must be expected.
- the identification information 30, 30 'of the first printed product 20 and of the second printed product 22 are different.
- control signals S are used differently. For example, if it is a stacker, the control signals S may be used to form stacks of a certain number of printed products 20, 22. In this case, staples 12 loaded with wrong printed products 20, 22 will not be opened when moving past the post-processing station 42. This may also be the case when a staple is loaded with only a single printed product, while two printed products 20, 22 are needed to complete the stack.
- the calibration procedure is carried out with the same arrangement as the optical-electronic control. It consists essentially in that by means of the image recording device 38 an image of the identification information 30, 30 'of correctly arranged in a clamp 12 first printed product 20 and second printed product 22nd is made and stored in electronic digital form in the memory 44 for the calibration image E.
- the calibration procedure may be performed 1 is stopped, the transport device 10, prior to which the correct alignment of the first and the second printed product 22, the settings can be checked visually, and finely adjusted 22 in the respective clamp 12 and the image pickup apparatus 38th
- the images recorded for the optoelectronic control can then be shifted in software within the calibration image until a maximum agreement is found. In this way it can be prevented that relative to the calibration image E slightly shifted, but correct printed products 20, 22 are interpreted as errors.
- a larger image section is recorded for the opto-electronic control than the calibration image E.
