Abstract

The method involves feeding printed products (4) that are complied for forming detachable book blocks by a conveying device (2) that includes synchronously driven feeders (3) of receiving devices (7), where the feeders are arranged along a collection sector (6). The products are conveyed to an adhesive binding device (16) by the conveying device. The binding device is depleted during interrupting of a manufacturing process. The feeding of the receiving devices with the products and supply of the book blocks are adjusted to the binding device during the depletion of the binding device.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von aus mehreren Druckprodukten gebildeten klebegebundenen Druckerzeugnissen, bei dem die zur Bildung loser Buchblocks zusammengetragenen Druckprodukte mittels entlang einer Sammelstrecke angeordneten, wenigstens annähernd taktsynchron angetriebenen Anlegern einer in regelmässigen Abständen sich folgenden Aufnahmevorrichtungen aufweisende Fördervorrichtung zugeführt und durch diese in eine Klebebindevorrichtung überführt werden, wobei bei einem Unterbruch eines Verarbeitungsprozesses die der Fördervorrichtung förderwirksam nachgeschaltete Klebebindevorrichtung leer gefahren wird.The invention relates to a process for the production of adhesive printed products formed from several printed products, wherein the printed products formed to form loose book block fed by means along a collection line, at least approximately isochronously driven investors fed at regular intervals following receiving devices conveyor and fed through them into a Adhesive binding device to be transferred, wherein in an interruption of a processing process, the conveying device downstream effective adhesive binding device is driven empty.

Buchfertigungslinien haben die Aufgabe, Druckprodukte mit einer Zusammentragvorrichtung in der richtigen Reihenfolge zu sammeln und anschliessend in einer Klebebindevorrichtung zu Buchblocks zu binden. Wird die Zusammentragvorrichtung angehalten, soll die Klebebindevorrichtung noch mindestens solange weiter laufen, bis alle sich in den Transportklammern der Klebebindevorrichtung befindenden Buchblocks zu rohen Büchern verarbeitet sind. Dies ist deshalb nötig, weil sonst der im Rückenbereich der Buchblocks aufgetragene Klebstoff abbinden und die Umschläge nicht mehr haften würden. Nach dem Stand der Technik werden die lose zu Buchblocks zusammengetragenen Druckbogen mit Hilfe eines sogenannten Trennelementes von der Zusammentragvorrichtung in die Klebebindevorrichtung überführt, wobei das Trennelement mit der Klebebindevorrichtung synchron antriebsverbunden ist. Mit jedem Maschinentakt wird ein Buchblock von der Zusammentragvorrichtung in die Klebebindevorrichtung überführt. Wird die Zusammentragvorrichtung angehalten, geht die Synchronität mit der Klebebindevorrichtung verloren und jeder weitere während dem Anhalten überführte Buchblock würde bei der Ueberführung in die Klebebindevorrichtung zu Störungen führen. Um bei schnell laufenden Anlagen die Zusammentragvorrichtung von der Klebebindevorrichtung abkuppeln und abbremsen zu können, muss deshalb zuerst die gesamte Linie auf eine Geschwindigkeit verzögert werden, bei der eine störungsfreie Abkupplung möglich ist. Aus diesem Grund steht bei einer solchen Ausführung zum Abbremsen der Zusammentragvorrichtung eine Bremsstrecke entsprechend einer Teilung von Buchblock zu Buchblock zur Verfügung. Dies kann wiederum zu Störungen in der Klebebindevorrichtung führen.
Ein weiterer Nachteil zeigt sich, wenn die Zusammentragvorrichtung aufgrund eines Fehlers eines Anlegers von der Klebebindevorrichtung abgekuppelt und angehalten werden muss. Während der gesamten Auslaufphase der Zusammentragvorrichtung entstehen stromabwärts des den Fehler verursachenden Anlegers mehrere fehlerhafte Buchblocks, die nicht in dieser Form in die Klebebindevorrichtung überführt werden dürfen. Um dies zu erreichen sind zwei Verfahren bekannt: Alle fehlerhaften Buchblocks zwischen der Zusammentragvorrichtung und der Klebebindevorrichtung werden ausgeschleust oder repariert. Ausschleusen hat den Nachteil, dass die ungebundenen Buchblocks von Hand oder maschinell aufgelöst, nach den ursprünglichen Druckprodukten sortiert und in die entsprechenden Anleger zurückgeführt werden müssen. Sollen die fehlerhaften Buchblocks in der stillstehenden Zusammentragvorrichtung repariert werden, kann dies manuell erfolgen. Zudem kann während diesen manuellen Verrichtungen nicht produziert werden.
In der EP 0 337 315 B1 wird vorgeschlagen, fehlerhafte lose Buchblocks über eine Ablenkvorrichtung an eine Rückführungsvorrichtung zu übergeben und die Buchblocks anschliessend in einer Vereinzelungsvorrichtung zumindest teilweise in Druckprodukte aufzulösen.Book production lines have the task of collecting printed products in the right order with a collating device and then binding them in a perfect binder to make book blocks. If the collator is stopped, the adhesive binder is still at least as long continue to run until all in the transport brackets of the perfect binder book block are processed into raw books. This is necessary because otherwise set the applied adhesive in the back of the book block adhesive and the envelopes would no longer adhere. According to the prior art, the loosely assembled book blocks printed sheet are transferred by means of a so-called separating element of the collating device in the adhesive binding device, wherein the separating element is synchronously drive-connected with the adhesive binding device. With each machine cycle, a book block is transferred from the gathering device to the perfect binder. If the collator is stopped, the synchronicity with the adhesive binder is lost and any further book block transferred during stoppage would interfere with transfer to the perfect binder. In order to be able to uncouple and decelerate the gathering device from the adhesive binding device in high-speed systems, the entire line must therefore first be decelerated to a speed at which a trouble-free decoupling is possible. For this reason, in such an embodiment, a braking distance corresponding to a pitch of book block to book block is available for braking the collating device. This in turn can lead to disturbances in the adhesive binder.
Another disadvantage is exhibited when the gathering device has to be uncoupled from the perfect binder and stopped due to an error of an investor. Throughout the phase-out phase of the gathering device, a number of faulty book blocks are formed downstream of the feeder causing the fault and may not be transferred into the perfect binding device in this form. To this, too Two methods are known: All erroneous book blocks between the collator and the adhesive binder are ejected or repaired. Removal has the disadvantage that the unbound book blocks must be sorted by hand or machine, sorted according to the original printed products and returned to the appropriate investors. If the faulty book blocks in the stationary collating device are to be repaired, this can be done manually. In addition, can not be produced during these manual operations.
In the EP 0 337 315 B1 It is proposed to pass defective loose book blocks via a deflection device to a recirculation device and then to dissolve the book blocks at least partially in printed products in a separating device.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, in einer Buchfertigungslinie die Zusammentragvorrichtung bei hoher Produktionsgeschwindigkeit von der Klebebindevorrichtung abzukuppeln und die Produktion an der unterbrochenen Stelle wieder aufzunehmen.The invention has for its object to decouple in a book production line, the collating device at high production speed of the perfect binding device and resume production at the interrupted point.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass während dem Leerfahren der Klebebindevorrichtung die weitere Beschickung der Aufnahmevorrichtungen der Fördervorrichtung mit Druckprodukten wie auch die weitere Zufuhr von losen Buchblocks an die Klebebindevorrichtung eingestellt werden.The object is achieved according to the invention by adjusting the further charging of the receiving devices of the conveying device with printed products as well as the further supply of loose book blocks to the adhesive binding device during emptying of the adhesive binding device.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine Buchfertigungslinie 1, bestehend aus einer Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 zum Sammeln von Druckprodukten 4 zu losen Buchblocks 5, mit einer eine Förderstrecke 6 und eine Rücklaufstrecke 14 aufweisenden Fördervorrichtung 2 und einer Klebebindevorrichtung 16, in der die losen Buchblocks 5 durch Verkleben der Druckbogen an den Rücken zu roh gebunden Büchern, Broschuren, Buchblocks oder dergleichen Druckerzeugnissen 9 verarbeitet werden. Zur Aufnahme und Förderung der Druckprodukte 4, verfügt die Fördervorrichtung 2 über sich in regelmässigen Abständen folgende Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7, die in einer geschlossenen Umlaufbahn 15 geführt sind. Eine Aufnahmevorrichtung 7 wird beispielsweise gebildet durch einen Mitnehmer und einen feststehenden Kanal, durch den der Mitnehmer die Druckprodukte 4 schiebt oder durch ein mitlaufendes Fach, auf dem die Druckprodukte 4 gesammelt werden. Entlang der Förderstrecke 6 angeordnete und taktsynchron zur Fördervorrichtung 2 angetriebene Anleger 3 sind für die Beschickung der Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 mit Druckprodukten 4 vorgesehen. Jeder Anleger 3 wird dazu üblicherweise mit einer Art von Druckprodukten 4 beschickt. Jeder Anleger 3 verfügt über Mittel zum getakteten Vereinzeln, der in seinem Magazin bereit gestellten Druckprodukte 4 und einen Förderer 10, zum Fördern der Druckprodukte 4 in die sich vorbeibewegenden Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 der Fördervorrichtung 2. Die Fördervorrichtung 2 wird durch einen nicht dargestellten Antrieb angetrieben. Die Anleger 3 werden gemeinsam durch einen weiteren, nicht dargestellten Antrieb oder in einer bevorzugten Form je durch einen eigenen Antrieb angetrieben. Zwecks zeitlich richtiger Übergabe der Druckprodukte 4 in die Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 der Fördervorrichtung 2 sind der Antrieb bzw. die Antriebe der Anleger 3 mit dem Antrieb der Fördervorrichtung 2 synchron gekoppelt. Da jede Aufnahmevorrichtung 7 innerhalb der Förderstrecke 6 an jedem Anleger 3 vorbeifährt, kann sie von jedem Anleger 3 mit je einem Druckprodukt 4 beschickt werden und am Ende der Förderstrecke 6 einen kompletten losen Buchblock 5 enthalten.
In einem an die Förderstrecke 6 stromabwärts anschliessenden Übergabebereich 11 der Fördervorrichtung 2 nach der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 werden komplette und fehlerfreie Buchblocks 5 aus den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 in die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 überführt, sodass die Rücken der Buchblocks 5 in der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 von den in Bearbeitungsrichtung hintereinander angeordneten Buchrückenbearbeitungsstationen bearbeitet, gebunden und an nachfolgende Verarbeitungsmaschinen abgegeben werden. Am Anfang des Übergabebereichs 11 ist eine steuerbare Weiche 13 angeordnet, die wahlweise Buchblocks 5 in Richtung eines Transportmittels 12 der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 ablenkt oder in den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 der Fördervorrichtung belässt. Fehlerhafte Buchblocks 5, beispielsweise solche mit mehreren Druckprodukten 4 der gleichen Art oder unvollständige Buchblocks, können mit einer nicht dargestellten Ausschleusweiche ausgeschleust werden, die bevorzugt zwischen dem in Förderrichtung F letzten Anleger 3 und der Weiche 13 angeordnet ist. Für die Steuerung der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 und der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 sind Steuervorrichtungen 20, 21 vorgesehen, die für den Datenaustausch direkt oder über eine übergeordnete Steuervorrichtung 22 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Steuervorrichtung 20 der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 steuert beispielsweise jeden einzelnen Anleger 3, die Ausschleusweiche und die Weiche 13. Die Steuervorrichtung 21 steuert die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 mit ihren Buchrückenbearbeitungsstationen und den zugehörigen Fördervorrichtungen der Buchblocks 5. Dazu erhalten die Steuervorrichtungen 20, 21 laufend Eingangssignale von Sensoren an den Maschinen oder Steuerbefehle des Bedienpersonals. Während der Überführung der Buchblocks 5, von den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 in die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 müssen die Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 und das Transportmittel 12 der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 exakt zueinander ausgerichtet sein resp. auf zwei parallelen Bahnen geführt und mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit angetrieben sein. Für das Verfahren ist es nicht wesentlich, ob das Transportmittel 12 durch in der Klebebindevorrichtung 16.für den Transport während der Bearbeitung erforderliche Transportklammern 18 oder durch eine den Transportklammern 18 vorgelagerte und der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 zugehörige Transportvorrichtung 17 gebildet wird. Eine derartige Ausführung der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 ist in der Fig. 7 dargestellt.
Die Fig. 1 zeigt ausserdem einen Materialfluss bei ungestörter Produktion. Die Arten der zu sammelnden Druckprodukte 4 sind mit Buchstaben A, B, C, D und die losen Buchblocks 5, resp. Druckerzeugnisse 9 mit Laufnummern bezeichnet. 45A bezeichnet beispielsweise das Druckprodukt 4 nach der Art A, das zusammen mit den Druckprodukten 45B, 45C und 45D den losen Buchblock 5 mit der Laufnummer 45 bildet.
Fig. 2 zeigt die Situation der losen Buchblocks 5 nach einer Störung am Anleger 3 der Druckprodukteart B. Nach dem Zuführen des Druckprodukts mit der Identifikationsnummer 48B ist am Anleger 3 für die Druckprodukteart B ein Fehler aufgetreten. Das nachfolgende Druckprodukt 49B und folgende werden nicht mehr zugeführt. Eine solche Störung kann beispielsweise entstehen, wenn ein Druckprodukt 4 beschädigt oder nicht richtig in das Magazin des Anlegers 3 eingelegt worden ist oder wenn am Anleger 3 ein technischer Defekt aufgetreten ist. Fehlende, mehrfach vorhandene oder falsch eingelegte Druckprodukte 4 können mittels optischen, kapazitiven oder mechanischen Sensoren detektiert und der Steuervorrichtung 20 der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 gemeldet werden. Bei sporadisch auftretenden Fehlern können die betroffenen Buchblocks 5 ausgeschleust und ein Anhalten der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 vermieden werden. Beim Auftreten eines andauernden Fehlers muss die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 automatisch von der Steuervorrichtung 20 angehalten und der Fehler bei still stehender Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 behoben werden. Es ist ebenfalls vorgesehen, dass der Bediener bei Bedarf die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 anhalten kann. Ein Anhalten der aus Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 und Klebebindevorrichtung 16 bestehenden Linie hätte zur Folge, dass alle am Buchrücken beleimten, jedoch noch nicht mit einem Umschlag versehenen Buchblocks 5 wegen dem abbindenden Leim zu fehlerhaften Druckerzeugnissen werden, die ausgeschleust werden müssen. Es ist deshalb sinnvoll, die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 anzuhalten und die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 so lange weiter zu betreiben, bis das letzte Druckerzeugnis 9 in der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 fertig bearbeitet ist. Dazu wird zuerst die Überführung loser Buchblocks 5 von der Fördervorrichtung 2 in das Transportmittel 12 der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 durch die Weiche 13 unterbrochen. Mindestens solange wie sich lose Buchblocks 5 innerhalb des Übergabebereichs 11 befinden, müssen die Fördervorrichtung 2 und die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 synchron zueinander laufen. Sobald der nach Fig. 2 beispielhafte letzte lose Buchblock mit der Laufnummer 40 vollständig dem Transportmittel 12 übergeben wurde, kann die Synchronität der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 mit der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 aufgegeben werden resp. die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 zum Stillstand abgebremst werden. Das Verlassen der Synchronität vor diesem Zeitpunkt würde zu Kollisionen der Buchblocks 5 im Übergabebereich 11 mit der Fördervorrichtung 2 und/oder dem Transportmittel 12 der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 führen. Unmittelbar nach der Auslösung eines Stopps der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 wird ebenfalls die Zufuhr von Druckprodukten 4 an allen Anlegern 3 unterbrochen, sodass sich nach dem Anhalten der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 im Bereich der Förderer 10 zwischen Anleger 3 und Fördervorrichtung 2 keine Druckprodukte 4 mehr befinden.
Die sich dadurch ergebende Situation der Buchblocks 5 ist in der Fig. 3 dargestellt. Die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 ist angehalten und die Synchronität zwischen Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 und Klebebindevorrichtung 16 ist aufgehoben. Die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 produziert mindestens solange weiter bis das Druckerzeugnis 9 mit der Laufnummer 40 fertig gestellt ist. Anschliessend kann die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 mit einer sehr tiefen Geschwindigkeit und ohne Produkte weiter laufen. Die nicht mehr an die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 überführten Buchblocks 5 mit den Laufnummern 41 bis 43 befinden sich stromabwärts der Weiche 13. Sobald die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 zum Stillstand gekommen ist, kann die Störung am Anleger 3 durch das Bedienpersonal beseitigt werden.
Nachdem die Störung beseitigt und die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 wieder betriebsbereit ist, sind verschiedene Abläufe denkbar, um weiter zu produzieren. Soll die ursprünglich geplante Produktionsreihenfolge beibehalten werden, müssen die Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7, die nur einen Teil der für ein komplettes Druckerzeugnis 9 benötigten Druckprodukte 4 enthalten, soweit stromaufwärts zu den Anlegern 3 versetzt werden, dass beim nächsten Vorbeifahren der Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 an den Förderern 10 der Anleger 3, die fehlenden Druckprodukte 4 zugeführt werden können. Dies kann beispielsweise sinnvoll sein, wenn die Druckerzeugnisse 9 einem bestimmten Empfänger und/oder einer bestimmten Postroute zugeordnet sind. Dieser Zustand kann erreicht werden, indem die komplette Zusammentragvorrichtung 8, aber mindestens die Fördervorrichtung 2 in die in der Fig.4 dargestellte Position verfahren wird. Es ist nicht wesentlich, ob die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 resp. die Fördervorrichtung 2 in oder gegen die Förderrichtung F in die dargestellte Position verfahren wird. Falls nur die Fördervorrichtung 2 verfahren wird, müssen vor der Wiederaufnahme der Produktion die Anleger 3 und die Fördervorrichtung 2 zueinander neu synchronisiert werden. Nach dem Synchronisieren der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 mit der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 oder umgekehrt, kann die Produktion an der unterbrochenen Stelle wieder aufgenommen werden, wozu die Weiche 13 in die in den Fig. 1 bis 7 nach oben zeigende Richtung zu schalten ist.
Sind alle Druckerzeugnisse 9 einer Produktion identisch, ist nicht wesentlich, in welcher Reihenfolge die Druckerzeugnisse 9 gefertigt werden. In diesem Fall ist es denkbar, ausgehend von der in der Fig.3 gezeigten Situation, die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 mit der Klebebindevorrichtung 16 zu synchronisieren und mit Hilfe der Weiche 13 komplette Buchblocks 5, die sich noch vor der Weiche 13 befinden, in die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 und unkomplette Buchblocks 5 in den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 der Fördervorrichtung 2 zu belassen. Die Fig. 5 zeigt den Zustand, wo die Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 und die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 wieder synchronisiert sind resp. sich synchron bewegen. Die kompletten Buchblocks 5 mit den Laufnummern 41 bis 43 befinden sich stromabwärts der Weiche 13 und können somit nicht direkt in die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 überführt werden, sondern erst beim nächsten Durchgang. Die kompletten Buchblocks 5 mit den Laufnummern 44, 45 befinden sich stromaufwärts zur Weiche 13 und werden in die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 überführt, während die nicht kompletten Buchblocks 5 mit den Laufnummern 46 bis 52 in den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 verbleiben. Die Fig. 6 zeigt den Zustand, nachdem die kompletten Buchblocks 5 mit den Laufnummern 44, 45 in die Klebebindevorrichtung 16 überführt sind und nachfolgende, unkomplette Buchblocks 5 in den Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 verbleiben. Die unkompletten Buchblocks 5 werden bei der nächsten Vorbeifahrt an den Anlegern 3 komplettiert. Die gesamte Koordination der Anleger 3, welche Druckprodukte 4 in die Aufnahmevorrichtungen 7 überführen, wird durch die Steuerungsvorrichtung 20 der Zusammentragvorrichtung 8 vorgenommen.The Fig. 1 shows a book production line 1, consisting of a collating device 8 for collecting printed products 4 to loose book block 5, with a conveyor line 6 and a Return line 14 having conveyor 2 and an adhesive binder 16 in which the loose book block 5 are processed by gluing the sheet to the back to raw bound books, brochures, book blocks or the like printed matter 9. For receiving and conveying the printed products 4, the conveying device 2 has the following receiving devices 7 at regular intervals, which are guided in a closed circulation path 15. A receiving device 7 is formed for example by a driver and a fixed channel through which the driver pushes the printed products 4 or by a running compartment on which the printed products 4 are collected. Feeders 3 arranged along the conveying path 6 and driven in synchronism with the conveying device 2 are provided for feeding the receiving devices 7 with printed products 4. Each feeder 3 is usually charged with a type of printed products 4. Each feeder 3 has means for clocked separation, the printed products 4 provided in its magazine and a conveyor 10 for conveying the printed products 4 into the passing receiving devices 7 of the conveying device 2. The conveying device 2 is driven by a drive (not shown). The feeders 3 are driven together by a further, not shown drive or in a preferred form depending on their own drive. For timely transfer of the printed products 4 in the receiving devices 7 of the conveyor 2, the drive or the drives of the feeder 3 are synchronously coupled to the drive of the conveyor 2. Since each receiving device 7 passes within the conveying section 6 at each feeder 3, it can be fed from each feeder 3, each with a printed product 4 and at the end the conveyor line 6 a complete loose book block 5 included.
Complete and error-free book blocks 5 are transferred from the receiving devices 7 into the adhesive binding device 16 in a transfer area 11 of the conveying device 2 downstream of the conveyor line 6, so that the backs of the book blocks 5 in the adhesive binding device 16 are from the spine processing stations arranged one behind the other in the machine direction processed, bound and delivered to downstream processing machines. At the beginning of the transfer area 11, a controllable switch 13 is arranged, which selectively deflects book block 5 in the direction of a transport means 12 of the adhesive binding device 16 or leaves it in the receiving devices 7 of the conveying device. Defective book blocks 5, for example those with multiple printed products 4 of the same type or incomplete book block, can be discharged with a Ausschleusweiche not shown, which is preferably arranged between the last in the conveying direction F feeder 3 and the switch 13. For the control of the collating device 8 and the adhesive binder 16 control devices 20, 21 are provided, which are connected to each other for data exchange directly or via a higher-level control device 22. The control device 20 of the collating device 8 controls, for example, each individual feeder 3, the diverter switch and the switch 13. The control device 21 controls the adhesive binder 16 with its spine processing stations and the associated conveyors of the book block 5. For this purpose, the control devices 20, 21 continuously receive input signals from sensors the machines or control commands of the operating personnel. During the transfer of the book blocks 5, from the receiving devices 7 in the adhesive binding device 16, the receiving devices 7 and the transport means 12 of the adhesive binding device 16 must be exactly aligned with each other resp. be guided on two parallel tracks and driven at the same speed. For the method, it is not essential whether the transport means 12 is formed by transport clamps 18 required for the transport during processing in the adhesive binding device 16 or by a transport device 17 which is arranged upstream of the transport clamps 18 and is associated with the adhesive binding device 16. Such an embodiment of the adhesive binding device 16 is in the Fig. 7 shown.
The Fig. 1 also shows a material flow with undisturbed production. The types of printed products to be collected 4 are letters A, B, C, D and the loose book blocks 5, respectively. Printed products 9 with serial numbers. 45A designates, for example, the type A printed product 4, which together with the printed products 45B, 45C and 45D forms the loose book block 5 of the serial number 45.
Fig. 2 shows the situation of the loose book block 5 after a disturbance at the feeder 3 of the printed product type B. After supplying the printed product with the identification number 48B, an error has occurred at the feeder 3 for the printed product type B. The following printed product 49B and following are no longer supplied. Such a disturbance can arise, for example, when a printed product 4 has been damaged or improperly inserted into the magazine of the feeder 3 or when a technical defect has occurred at the feeder 3. Missing, multiply existing or incorrectly inserted printed products 4 can be detected by means of optical, capacitive or mechanical sensors and the control device 20 of the collating device 8 reported. In the case of sporadically occurring errors, the book blocks 5 concerned can be ejected and arresting of the gathering device 8 can be avoided. If a continuous fault occurs, the collating device 8 must be automatically stopped by the control device 20 and the fault must be remedied when the collating device 8 is stationary. It is also contemplated that the operator may stop the collator 8 when needed. Stopping the line consisting of gathering device 8 and adhesive binding device 16 would mean that all book blocks glued to the spine, but not yet provided with an envelope, become defective printed products because of the setting glue, which must be ejected. It therefore makes sense to stop the gathering device 8 and to continue to operate the adhesive binding device 16 until the last printed product 9 in the adhesive binding device 16 has been finished. For this purpose, first the transfer of loose book blocks 5 is interrupted by the conveyor 2 in the transport 12 of the adhesive binder 16 through the switch 13. At least as long as loose book blocks 5 are located within the transfer area 11, the conveying device 2 and the adhesive binding device 16 must run synchronously with one another. As soon as the post Fig. 2 exemplary last loose book block with the serial number 40 has been completely transferred to the transport means 12, the synchronicity of the collating device 8 can be abandoned with the adhesive binder 16 resp. the collating device 8 are braked to a standstill. Leaving the synchrony before this time would lead to collisions of the book blocks 5 in the transfer area 11 with the conveyor device 2 and / or the transport means 12 of the adhesive binder 16. immediate after the triggering of a stop of the collating device 8, the supply of printed products 4 is also interrupted at all investors 3, so that after stopping the collator 8 in the area of the conveyor 10 between feeder 3 and conveyor 2 no more printed products 4 are.
The resulting situation of the book block 5 is in the Fig. 3 shown. The collating device 8 is stopped and the synchronicity between the collating device 8 and adhesive binding device 16 is canceled. The adhesive binding device 16 continues to be produced at least until the printed product 9 with the run number 40 has been completed. Subsequently, the adhesive binding device 16 can continue to run at a very low speed and without products. The no longer transferred to the adhesive binder 16 book block 5 with the serial numbers 41 to 43 are located downstream of the switch 13. Once the collator 8 has come to a standstill, the disturbance can be eliminated at the feeder 3 by the operator.
After the disturbance is eliminated and the collator 8 is ready for use again, various operations are conceivable to continue production. If the originally planned production order is to be maintained, the receiving devices 7, which contain only a portion of the printed products 4 required for a complete printed product 9, must be displaced upstream of the investors 3, so that the next time they pass the receiving devices 7 on the conveyors 10 of the feeder 3, the missing printed products 4 can be supplied. This may be useful, for example, if the printed products 9 are assigned to a specific recipient and / or a specific postal route. This State can be achieved by the complete gathering device 8, but at least the conveyor 2 in the in the Figure 4 shown position is moved. It is not essential whether the collating device 8 resp. the conveying device 2 is moved in or against the conveying direction F in the position shown. If only the conveying device 2 is moved, the feeder 3 and the conveying device 2 must be newly synchronized with each other before resuming production. After synchronizing the collator 8 with the adhesive binder 16 or vice versa, the production can be resumed at the interrupted point, including the switch 13 in the in the Fig. 1 to 7 is to turn upward direction.
If all printed products 9 of a production are identical, it is not essential in which order the printed products 9 are produced. In this case it is conceivable, starting from in the Figure 3 situation shown to synchronize the collating device 8 with the adhesive binder 16 and leave with the help of the switch 13 complete book block 5, which are still in front of the switch 13, in the adhesive binder 16 and incomplete book block 5 in the receiving devices 7 of the conveyor 2. The Fig. 5 shows the state where the collating device 8 and the adhesive binding device 16 are synchronized again, respectively. to move in sync The complete book blocks 5 with the numbers 41 to 43 are located downstream of the switch 13 and thus can not be transferred directly into the adhesive binder 16, but only at the next round. The complete book blocks 5 with the run numbers 44, 45 are upstream of the switch 13 and are transferred to the adhesive binder 16, while the non-complete book block 5 with the Run numbers 46 to 52 remain in the receiving devices 7 of the collator 8. The Fig. 6 shows the state after the complete book blocks 5 are transferred with the sequence numbers 44, 45 in the adhesive binder 16 and subsequent, incomplete book blocks 5 remain in the receiving devices 7. The incomplete book blocks 5 are completed at the next pass by the investors 3. The entire coordination of the feeders 3, which transfer printed products 4 into the receiving devices 7, is performed by the control device 20 of the collating device 8.
