Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for opening folded or bound printed products according to the preamble of the corresponding independent claims.
  • US 5,782,465 describes an opening device for a horizontal and subsidized magazine.
  • the magazine is opened at a fixed "spear".
  • a first reflection light barrier checks whether the upper part has actually lifted off and rests on an upper part of the conveyor track, a second checks whether the lower part still rests on a lower part of the conveyor track.
  • CH 418 297 shows a folded sheet feeder with an opening device and a check whether the two legs of an openable bow as before pass behind and behind a saddle. The detection is done by two mechanical feeler switches, one each for a bow leg. As alternatives to mechanical switches also pneumatically or photoelectrically actuated switches are mentioned.
  • US 4,078,784 describes an opening device for single to multiple folded sheets before they are placed on a saddle of a collecting device.
  • the opening of the sheet is done by means of rotating drums, one of which detects a leg of the sheet with a gripper.
  • the thickness of the arc detected by the gripper is measured indirectly.
  • the gripper position is mechanically transmitted to a reflector whose position is scanned by a light barrier.
  • the scan is mechanically synchronized with the rotation of the drum.
  • the further processing is carried out.
  • the further processing may, for example, be the collection of the opened partial product on a further partial product, or the insertion of a further partial product into the opened partial product, or the gluing of a side dish into the opened partial product, etc.
  • An only partial opening, or a completely missing opening , or other opening defects are referred to collectively as a defective opening, and should lead to the detection of an opening error.
  • a partial product may be a single folded sheet, or a bundle of multiple sheets already folded and folded, or a bound printed product as part of a booklet, book, booklet, magazine or newspaper.
  • the special treatment preferably consists in that the partial product is returned to a circulating conveyor, so that it is again supplied to the opening device in a new passage.
  • the circulating conveyor is a chain of grippers that are individually controllable.
  • a first partial product is supplied and opened, in order then to be placed on another, second partial product, which is for example on a saddle of a collecting conveyor or a collection drum.
  • the second partial product can be moved together with the saddle transversely to the folding direction or saddle direction, and / or the second part product can be moved along the saddle in the saddle direction.
  • the non-opened partial product is preferably subjected to a special treatment in that it is not applied - since it can not be placed correctly in the unopened state, but would fall down on the second partial product.
  • the further special treatment of the first partial product can then be that it is returned or discharged.
  • the second partial product can also be subjected to a special treatment, for example, it is also returned or discharged, depending on the design of the collector.
  • the collector allows to recycle and reopen a partial product within the collector, the collector will also be considered as a circulating conveyor.
  • the second, not complete partial product can also be further promoted and processed, but is preferably marked by the control software as defective and discharged at a later appropriate time.
  • a plug-in device such as a plug-in drum
  • a second partial product is fed and inserted into the first.
  • the first partial product must be opened so that the plugging in is done correctly and the combined partial products do not fall apart at a later time.
  • the second partial product is not inserted and / or it is returned.
  • the first, unopened partial product becomes preferably returned to be opened in a new pass, if the construction of the plug-in allows this, or marked as defective in the controller and later discharged.
  • recycled first partial products are again supplied to the respective opening device, and it is detected whether they will not be opened again in this further run. Only when a partial product has not been opened after a predetermined number of passes, it is marked as defective and discharged. The discharge takes place by removing the partial product from the (part) product stream at a designated location.
  • the feed device itself is a circulating conveyor device, and has a plurality of holding means for simultaneously transporting or conveying a plurality of partial products.
  • the holding means are, for example, grippers or pockets.
  • the feeding device is thus itself designed to re-supply incorrectly opened partial products to the opening device.
  • a circulating gripper chain this means that after the detection of a faulty opening, the gripper does not release the corresponding partial product for collecting, but preferably conveys it back and re-feeds it to the opening.
  • a plug-in device this means that an incorrectly opened partial product is not conveyed out of the insertion pocket, but is preferably left in the insertion pocket and returned to the opening.
  • optical sensor is in particular a brightness sensor, a sensor line or a camera.
  • a single brightness sensor preferably has a defined detection area, for example a point-like or a line-shaped detection area.
  • a sensor line preferably captures, similar to a camera, an imaging optical system by means of a line-shaped region of the conveyed partial product, wherein individual sections of the line respectively supply associated sensor values.
  • the sensor or sensors can monitor the conveyed partial products by means of continuous measurements and close them from the time course of the sensor signal or signals on the opening state.
  • the light / dark distribution of the detection range of a sensor which is directed to the conveyed partial products (or, more generally, the image detected by the sensor) changes in each case in time with the conveyor device.
  • the sensor values are retrieved periodically. This periodically repeated value course is saved as a reference. If a partial product is not opened, deviating sensor values are available during a period. This deviation over time is detected by an analog or digital evaluation of the sensor values, and a faulty opening of the relevant partial product is signaled.
  • the evaluation can be synchronized by a clock signal of the conveyor with the movement of the partial products. This procedure just described is possible for the evaluation of data of all sensors described (individual sensors, line sensors, cameras) and combinations of these sensors. In this case, therefore, continuous measurements with a clocked evaluation take place.
  • the sensor or sensors can observe the subsidized partial products only at certain times, these times being predetermined by the clock of the conveyor.
  • the sensor data are always read out at a time (with respect to a clock period) in which a partial product would have to be located at a specific spatial location.
  • the sensor data is then preferably compared with stored reference values corresponding to a healthy state. If the deviation exceeds a predetermined level, a faulty opening is signaled.
  • This procedure is possible for the evaluation of data of all described sensors (single sensors, line sensors, cameras) and combinations of these sensors. In this case, clocked measurements with a clocked evaluation take place.
  • the reliability or significance of the measurements is preferably increased by the use of multiple sensors. For example, the position of the leading half and the trailing half of the opened partial product can thus be monitored separately and in a targeted manner.
  • the informative value of the sensor signals is increased by the background or a part of the background area detected by the sensors being highlighted optically. This can be done, for example, by the background illuminated and / or color is particularly marked or coated with a good reflective material.
  • the background should differ as much as possible from the partial products in the spectral range in which the sensors are sensitive.
  • Operating ranges of the sensors are preferably in the visible range or in the infrared or ultraviolet range or in a combination of these ranges.
  • partial products can therefore be conveyed parallel or perpendicular or diagonally with respect to the fold of the partial products when the sensor data is acquired.
  • the reference values used in the evaluation are determined and stored in error-free operation of the system. Furthermore, the reference values can also be automatically adjusted during the course of operation according to the permanently recorded measured values to defect-free open partial products. This applies to sensors that provide only a single measured value, as well as for sensor arrays and cameras. This makes it possible to take into account the aging and contamination of the system.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a collecting device with a feed unit 1, a rotating gripper chain 2 and a collecting drum 3.
  • the feed unit 1 conveys folded sheets of paper 4 as partial products to grippers 5 of the gripper chain 2.
  • the gripper chain 2 conveys the sheets 4 via an opening device 6, which by means of a faster-running Bandes pulls the leading edge of the sheets 4 to the left and so opens the sheets.
  • the opening device 6 the sheets 4 are held open by a synchronous to the grippers 5 and running as an open-holding means acting spiral 7, before being placed on saddles 8 of the collecting drum 3 and released.
  • Sensors for opening control are preferably arranged in a region of the spiral 7 or the saddles 8, in which the sheets 4 have not yet been released by the gripper 5. If a faulty opening is detected, the corresponding gripper 5 is not opened, but the sheet 4 is conveyed back via the gripper chain 2. The feed unit 1 is then controlled so that the gripper 5 is not opened with the returned sheet 4 and not re-fed with another sheet.
  • the returned sheet 4 can also be stored at the point of loading into a compartment, so that it can later be reintroduced into the process by hand or automatically, possibly after a check.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows various opening errors in collecting (top row) and plugging (second row).
  • a partial product 4 can come to lie correctly during collection (middle column) or with both halves left or right of a saddle 8 or the spiral 7.
  • the third row shows partial products 4, which are held on the one hand by gripper 5 at the fold and on the other hand held open by means of open holding means like moving clamps 10.
  • open holding means like moving clamps 10.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows various possible arrangements of sensors in the region of the spiral 7 or a saddle 8. Depending on how the conveyor device is constructed for the partial products 4, remains next to or above the partial products 4 space for the arrangement of the sensors. In the following, the construction of the conveyor device will not be discussed - it is understood that the arrangement of the sensor or sensors used is to be selected appropriately.
  • the direction of the fold of the partial product 4 defines a y-axis and, in the horizontal plane perpendicular thereto, an x-axis. Perpendicular to both runs a z-axis.
  • the partial product 4 is typically conveyed in the x-direction, but can also be controlled or conveyed in the y-direction be monitored for opening errors. It is assumed that the position of the subsidized sub-product 4 in the drawn reference position.
  • FIG. 4 shows separately the positions D and E with respect to a Einsteckfaches 9 with reflection means 11, and FIG. 5 the positions D, E, F, G with respect to a conveying device with revolving open-holding clamps 10.
  • Further preferred arrangements D ', E', F ' are obtained by mirroring the positions on the xy plane, in the FIG. 5 indicated by dashed lines, and / or by an oblique viewing direction corresponding to the positions A, B, C.
  • FIG. 6 shows a sequence of partial products 4 with and without opening error, which is held open by holding means 7, 8, 10 and conveyed from right to left. Also marked are the sensor positions considered here, it being understood that typically only sensors in one or two of the positions are used in a real system.
  • the left part of the FIG. 6 shows configurations, such as occur in the resting of the partial products 4 on a spiral 7 or a saddle 8, and which are preferably provided with reflection means 11.
  • the right part shows configurations as they hold apart by hold-open brackets 10 occur.
  • FIGS. 7 to 10 each show a corresponding time course of the intensity of the detected light, respectively the sensor signal, if this sequence of Partial products passes by the sensors.
  • the sensors preferably have a narrow viewing angle or detection range, and are aligned with a light or reflective background.
  • a transmitted light barrier or with a reflex light barrier in contrast to a brightness sensor with a broad detection range, preferably only an optical system detects the light from a narrow angular range.
  • the evaluation is preferably carried out by continuous measurements with a clocked evaluation. If a sensor detects one of the partial products 4, the sensor signal drops. Preferably, the sensor signals are filtered to eliminate small irregularities.
  • the vertical, dashed lines mark the time of change to the next partial product 4. This time is preferably either automatically determined by analysis of the sensor signal itself or derived from a clock signal of the plant control.
  • a clocked evaluation instead of the continuous is preferably used when the expected timing of a pulse with respect to the clock is known exactly, and a comparison of the light / dark intensities is not required. Then it is sufficient to interrogate the sensor value at this time and evaluate it accordingly.
  • the continuous measurement provides more information and allows a more robust evaluation.
  • FIG. 11 schematically shows the monitoring of the opening state of a partial product 4 in a Einstecktrommel 13 with pockets 9.
  • the drum turns counterclockwise.
  • the partial product 4 is opened by not shown opening means. Due to gravity, only the error can occur that the partial product 4 rests with both halves on the right. Therefore, it is sufficient to check only for this error, for example, with a sensor 14 in the position E or B, which is directed to the side of the pocket 9, on which the potentially missing (in this case, the leading) half 4a should rest ,
  • a reflective element 11 is preferably mounted in order to increase the intensity difference to the partial product 4. An increase in intensity in a clocked or a continuous measurement thus indicates a faulty opening.
  • a screen 21 is folded over the first sub-product 4.
  • This panel has at the same location on a preferably reflective element 11, so that after opening the further partial product 20 again a control of the opening can be performed.
  • a line sensor With a line sensor, the field of view or line of sight is extended in the conveying direction, a still differentiated detection can be done with a basically same evaluation.
  • a single clocked measurement of all values of the line sensor provides similar information as the time sequence of measured values of the individual sensor described above.
  • a continuous sequence of measured values of the line sensor supplies correspondingly more information.
  • a camera is used at one of the described positions A to G, which provides a two-dimensional black and white image or a color image.
  • an image acquisition clocked in the delivery cycle is performed, and the captured image is compared with a reference image.
  • the images are compared as whole or predetermined excerpts (corresponding, for example, to the expected position of bright or reflecting background elements 11), and the raw data or filtered or transformed image data or image features extracted by image processing can be compared. It is also possible with this image capture to distinguish and control whether the sub-product 4 has been opened in the right place, since usually differ the contents of the individual pages of a printed matter from each other.
  • FIG. 15 schematically shows an opening control device, with one or more sensors 14, wherein for example one of the sensors 14, an associated bright or reflective surface 11 is shown, and to an optional (dashed) further sensor 14 ', a light source 15.
  • the signals of or Sensors are evaluated by a Sensorausncetician 16, which transmits control signals 17 to a controller 18 of the entire device for gathering.
  • the control signals 17 signal preferably an opening error or optionally also the absence of a partial product 4.
  • the controller 18 preferably transmits to the sensor evaluation unit 16 clock signals 19, on the basis of which the sensor evaluation unit 16 synchronizes the evaluation with the movement of the conveyed partial products 4.
  • the clock signal which represents the boundary between two partial products 4 in the sensor evaluation, or the clock signal, which is used to trigger the sensor data acquisition, are usually offset by a constant deviation from a predetermined clock signal of the controller 19.
