Description

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zum Anpressen eines Umschlages oder Fälzels an einen beleimten Rücken und benachbarte seitliche Flanken eines in einer umlaufenden Klammer eines Klebebinders mit nach unten vorstehendem Rücken transportierten Buchblocks, bestehend aus einer den Umschlag jeweils an den beleimten Rücken anpressenden Rückenanpressvorrichtung und einer den Umschlag an die seitlichen Flanken anpressenden Flankenanpressvorrichtung, die taktsynchron mit den die Buchblocks transportierenden Klammern des Klebebinders angetrieben sind.The invention relates to a device and a method for pressing an envelope or Fälzels to a glued spine and adjacent side flanks of a transported in a circumferential bracket of Klebebinders with downward protruding back book block consisting of an envelope each pressing on the glued spine Rückenanpressvorrichtung and a Flankenanpressvorrichtung pressing the envelope to the lateral flanks, which are driven isochronous with the book blocks transporting staples of Klebebinders.

In Klebebindern werden an lose zusammengetragenen Buchblocks im Bereich des Buchrückens mittels Klebstoff ein Umschlag oder Fälzel befestigt. Dabei wird zuerst der Buchblock im Rückenbereich zwecks einer guten Verbindung mit dem Klebstoff bearbeitet, anschliessend der Klebstoff auf den bearbeiteten Rücken und/oder den Umschlag resp. Fälzel aufgetragen, die beiden Teile zusammengeführt und aneinander gepresst. Klebebinder verfügen über eine Mehrzahl, in einer geschlossenen Umlaufbahn in gleichen Abständen an Zugmitteln umlaufende Klammern, in die die Buchblocks während des gesamten Bindeprozesses eingespannt sind, wobei die Rücken nach unten gerichtet aus den Klammern herausragen und die seitlichen rückennahen Bereiche, die Flanken, frei zugänglich sind. Nachdem die losen Buchblocks in die Klammern überführt sind, werden sie an den an der Umlaufbahn angeordneten Bearbeitungsstationen vorbeigeführt und während der Vorbeifahrt durch die Bearbeitungsstationen bearbeitet.In perfect binders, an envelope or crimp is attached to loosely gathered book blocks in the area of the spine using adhesive. In this case, first the book block in the back area for the purpose of a good connection with the adhesive processed, then the adhesive to the processed back and / or the envelope resp. Fälzel applied, the two Parts merged and pressed together. Perfect binders have a plurality of clamps circulating in a closed orbit at equal distances on traction means, in which the book blocks are clamped during the entire binding process, with the backs projecting downwardly out of the clamps and the lateral, recessed areas, the flanks, freely accessible are. After the loose book blocks are transferred to the clamps, they are passed past the orbiting processing stations and processed while passing through the processing stations.

Die Rückenform und die Festigkeit sind wichtige Qualitätsmerkmale der Bindung eines Buches und werden insbesondere durch die Funktionen der Anpressung mitbestimmt. Bekannte Anpressvorrichtungen weisen eine flache Rückenanpressvorrichtung auf, die den Umschlag an den Buchrücken anpresst, sowie eine Flankenanpressvorrichtung, die den Umschlag mittels Pressleisten im rückennahen Bereich des Buchblocks seitlich anpresst. Die Rückenform kann durch die zeitlichen Abläufe zwischen der Rückenanpressung und der Flankenanpressung beeinflusst werden. Erreicht beispielsweise die Flankenanpressvorrichtung ihre innere Endlage bevor die Rückenanpressvorrichtung ihre obere Endlage erreicht hat, werden die Buchrücken tendenziell rund. Erreicht dagegen die Rückenanpressvorrichtung ihre obere Endlage bevor die Flankenanpressvorrichtung ihre innere Endlage erreicht hat, werden die Buchrücken tendenziell kantig. Der Hub der Flankenanpressvorrichtung muss deshalb an das abzupressende Produkt angepasst werden. Bei der Verarbeitung von Umschlägen wird in der Regel mit einem grösseren Hub gearbeitet als bei der Verarbeitung von Fälzeln. Dies erfolgt beispielsweise durch Austausch von Steuerkurven oder durch Verstellung von Antriebskoppelsystemen auf mechanische Art.The back shape and the strength are important quality features of the binding of a book and are determined in particular by the functions of contact pressure. Known pressing devices have a flat Rückenanpressvorrichtung, which presses the envelope to the spine, and a Flank pressure device that presses the envelope by means of pressure bars in the near-by region of the book block side. The shape of the back can be influenced by the timing between back pressure and flank pressure. If, for example, the flank pressure device reaches its inner end position before the back pressure device has reached its upper end position, the spines tend to become round. If, on the other hand, the back pressure device reaches its upper end position before the flank pressure device has reached its inner end position, the spines tend to become edged. The stroke of the flank pressure device must therefore be adapted to the product to be squeezed. When processing envelopes, a larger stroke is usually used than with the processing of fakes. This is done, for example by exchanging control cams or by adjusting drive coupling systems in a mechanical way.

Aus der DE 102 27 950 A1 ist eine Anpressvorrichtung bekannt, bei der der Antrieb der Flankenanpressleisten gemeinsam durch eine Steuerkurve, einem Schwenkhebel und eine Kurvenrolle erfolgt. Durch Verschieben von Hebel-Lagerstellen lassen sich der Hub der Flankenanpressleisten verstellen. Nachteilig an dieser Lösung ist der Umstand, dass die Verstellungen sich gegenseitig beeinflussen können. Zudem kann die Phasenlage der Flankenanpressvorrichtung zu der Rückenanpressvorrichtung nicht verändert werden.From the DE 102 27 950 A1 is a contact pressure device known in which the drive of the Flank contact pressure strips is done jointly by a control cam, a pivot lever and a cam roller. By moving lever bearings, the stroke of the flank pressure bars can be adjusted. A disadvantage of this solution is the fact that the adjustments can affect each other. In addition, the phase position of the flank pressing device can not be changed to the Rückenanpressvorrichtung.

Nach einem weiteren Stand der Technik werden die Flankenanpressleisten direkt durch zugeordnete Steuerkurven oder Kurbeltriebe angetrieben, wobei mindestens die innere Endlage einer Flankenanpressschiene verstellbar ausgeführt ist, zwecks Anpassung an die Buchdicke. Soll der Hub der Flankenanpressleisten verändert werden, müssen die entsprechenden Steuerkurven oder Kurbeln ausgetauscht werden. Ein weiterer Nachteil dieser Lösung bildet auch der grosse Zeitaufwand, der für den Austausch von Teilen erforderlich ist.According to a further prior art, the Flank pressure bars are driven directly by associated control cams or crank mechanisms, wherein at least the inner end position of a Flankenanpressschiene is made adjustable, for the purpose of adaptation to the book thickness. If the stroke of the Flank contact pressure bars is to be changed, the corresponding control cams or cranks must be replaced. Another disadvantage of this solution is also the large amount of time required for the replacement of parts.

Während dem Pressvorgang darf zwischen der Anpressung und dem Buchblock in Rückenlängsrichtung keine oder eine nur geringfügige Relativgeschwindigkeit bestehen.During the pressing process there must be no or only a slight relative speed between the contact pressure and the book block in the back longitudinal direction.

Der Antrieb der gesamten Anpressvorrichtung erfolgt entweder durch eine mechanische Koppelung mit dem Antrieb des Klebebinders oder mittels eines elektrischen Einzelantriebs, der dem Antrieb des Klebebinders folgt.The drive of the entire pressing device is done either by a mechanical coupling with the drive of the perfect binder or by means of an electric single drive, which follows the drive of the perfect binder.

Ein anderer Nachteil der bekannten Lösungen mit nur einem Antrieb für die gesamte Anpressvorrichtung besteht durch die fehlende Ansprechempfindlichkeit der Überlastabsicherung des einzigen Antriebs, die so eingestellt werden muss, dass sie die maximal auftretenden Betriebskräfte ohne anzusprechen sicher übertragen kann. Damit ist ein Ansprechen auf Überlast von Organen mit kleinerem Kraftbedarf nicht möglich.Another disadvantage of the known solutions with only one drive for the entire pressing device is the lack of responsiveness of the overload protection of the single drive, which must be adjusted so that they the maximum occurring operating forces without addressing safe can transfer. Thus, a response to overload of organs with a smaller power requirement is not possible.

Ein weiterer Nachteil bekannter Vorrichtungen ist, dass mechanische Antriebsorgane wie Kurbeln oder Steuerkurven abhängig von der Teilung zwischen den Klammern sind.Another disadvantage of known devices is that mechanical drive members such as cranks or cams are dependent on the pitch between the brackets.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Klebebinder und ein Verfahren zu schaffen, die mit geringerem Aufwand und während laufender Maschine an die Anforderungen der zu fertigenden Produkte angepasst resp. eingestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide an adhesive binder and a method adapted to the requirements of the products to be manufactured with less effort and while the machine is running resp. can be adjusted.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils der Ansprüche 1 und 12 gelöst.The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of the characterizing part of claims 1 and 12.

Die Erfindung wird anschliessend unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht näher erwähnten Einzelheiten verwiesen wird, anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

The invention will be explained below with reference to the drawing, to which reference is made with respect to all unspecified details in the description, using an exemplary embodiment. In the drawing show:

Fig. 2

Die in den Fig. 1 und Fig. 2 gezeigte Anpressvorrichtung 1 ist ausschliesslich an einem Maschinengestell eines Klebebinders befestigt. Die am Rücken 12 und an den benachbarten seitlichen Flanken 13 zu pressenden Buchblocks 5 sind mit nach unten herausragendem Rücken 12 in in Transportrichtung T umlaufenden Klammern 14 des Klebebinders eingespannt. In stromaufwärts des Klebebinders angeordneten Bearbeitungsstationen (nicht dargestellt) werden die Buchblocks 5 vorgängig am Rücken 12 zwecks einer optimalen Verbindung mit dem Klebstoff bearbeitet. Durch eine unmittelbar vor der Anpressvorrichtung 1 angeordnete Zusammenführungsvorrichtung 10 werden die durch einen Umschlaganleger zugeführten Umschläge 11 mit den Buchblocks 5 im Bereich des Rückens 12 zusammengeführt und an letzteren angedrückt. In Fig. 1 ist die Zusammenführungsvorrichtung 10 als eine mit der Geschwindigkeit der Klammern 14 angetriebene Walze dargestellt. Ebenfalls denkbar ist eine Zusammenführung mittels einer die Umschläge 11 an die Rücken 12 der Buchblocks 5 hebenden und mit der Geschwindigkeit der Klammern 14 angetriebenen Leiste. Anstelle von Umschlägen 11 können alternativ in einer Fälzelstation Fälzel 29 an den beleimten Rücken 12 angeklebt werden. Der für die Verbindung der Umschläge 11 oder Fälzel 29 mit Buchblocks 5 erforderliche Klebstoff wird vor dem Zusammenführen an den Buchblocks 5 und/oder Umschlägen 11 oder Fälzeln 29 über Walzen- oder Düsenauftragssysteme aufgebracht. Die Anpressvorrichtung 1 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15, die eine vordere Pressleiste 8 und eine hintere Pressleiste 9 aufweist, sowie der Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18, die Einzelantriebseinheiten 23,24 mit Antriebssteuerungen 25,26 aufweist welche einer motorischen Antriebsvorrichtung 20 zugeordnet sind. Die Antriebsvorrichtung 20 weist einen die Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 etwa gleichsinnig zur Transportrichtung T des Buchblocks antreibenden Motor 3 und einen die Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 gegen den Rücken 12 des Buchblocks 5 pressenden weiteren Motor 4 auf. Ein in einer vertikal verschiebbar am Grundgestell des Klebebinders angeordneten horizontalen Längsführung 7 verschiebbar geführter Wagen 6 bildet eine Führungsanordnung der Anpressvorrichtung 1. Eine für die Funktion der Anpressvorrichtung 1 erforderliche, veränderbare ellipsenähnliche Bewegungsbahn 27 des Wagens 6 mit der Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 und der Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 entsteht durch Überlagerung der horizontalen und vertikalen Bewegung der Längsführung 7 resp. des Wagens 6. Beim Durchlaufen des mittleren Abschnitts des oberen Bereichs der Bewegungsbahn 27 wird der Umschlag 11 oder Fälzel 29 am Rücken 12 durch die Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 und an den seitlichen Flanken 13 durch die Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 angepresst. Während des Pressvorgangs muss die Geschwindigkeit der Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 und der Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 in Transportrichtung T exakt der Geschwindigkeit der Klammern 14 resp. der Buchblocks 5 entsprechen. Die Anpressvorrichtung 1 ist deshalb taktsynchron zu den die Buchblocks 5 transportierenden Klammern 14 des Klebebebinders angetrieben.The in the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shown pressing device 1 is attached exclusively to a machine frame of Klebebinders. The on the back 12 and on the adjacent side Flanks 13 to be pressed book block 5 are clamped with downwardly outstanding back 12 in the transport direction T circulating brackets 14 of the perfect binder. In processing stations (not shown) arranged upstream of the perfect binder, the book blocks 5 are previously processed on the back 12 for the purpose of an optimal connection with the adhesive. By arranged directly in front of the pressing device 1 merging device 10, the supplied by a cover feeder envelopes 11 are merged with the book block 5 in the region of the back 12 and pressed against the latter. In Fig. 1 For example, the merger 10 is shown as a roller driven at the speed of the staples 14. Also conceivable is a combination by means of a the envelopes 11 to the back 12 of the book block 5 lifting and driven at the speed of the brackets 14 bar. Instead of envelopes 11 may alternatively be glued to the glued spine 12 in a Fälzelstation Fälzel 29. The required for the connection of the envelopes 11 or 29 Fälzel with book block 5 adhesive is applied before merging to the book block 5 and / or envelopes 11 or 29 Fälzeln roll or nozzle application systems. The contact pressure device 1 consists essentially of a flank pressure device 15, which has a front pressure bar 8 and a rear pressure bar 9, and the Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18, the individual drive units 23,24 having drive controls 25,26 which are associated with a motor drive device 20. The drive device 20 has a motor 3 driving the back press device 18 approximately in the same direction as the transport direction T of the book block and a further motor 4 pressing the back press device 18 against the back 12 of the book block 5 on. An arranged in a vertically displaceable on the base frame of the adhesive horizontal horizontal guide 7 slidably guided carriage 6 forms a guide assembly of the pressing 1. A required for the function of the pressing 1, variable ellipse-like trajectory 27 of the carriage 6 with the Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 and Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 is formed by Overlay the horizontal and vertical movement of the longitudinal guide 7 resp. of the carriage 6. As it passes through the central portion of the upper portion of the trajectory 27, the envelope 11 or rabbet 29 is pressed against the spine 12 by the spine pressing device 18 and at the lateral flanks 13 by the flank pressure device 15. During the pressing operation, the speed of the Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 and Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 in the transport direction T exactly the speed of the clamps 14, respectively. correspond to the book block 5. The pressing device 1 is therefore driven isochronous to the book blocks 5 transporting brackets 14 of the adhesive binder.

Das Anpressen von Fälzeln 29 erfolgt analog zum Anpressen der Umschläge 11. Bedingt durch die nur wenige Millimeter langen Schenkel der Fälzel 29 muss jedoch die Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 mit einem kleineren Hub betrieben werden als beim Anpressen von Umschlägen 11.The pressing of Fälzeln 29 is analogous to the pressing of the envelopes 11. Due to the only a few millimeters long leg of Fälzel 29 but Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 must be operated with a smaller stroke than when pressing envelopes eleventh

Die inneren Endlagen der hinteren Pressleiste 9 und der vorderen Pressleiste 8 sind auf die Position der Flanken 13 resp. der Dicke oder Dickenunterschiede der zu verarbeitenden Buchblocks 5 einstellbar. Die Hübe der hinteren Anpressleiste 9 und der vorderen Anpressleiste 8 sind ebenfalls verstellbar und im Wesentlichen davon abhängig, ob Buchblocks 5 mit Umschlägen 11 oder Fälzeln 29 verpresst werden. Die obere Endlage der Längsführung 7 resp. Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 und der Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 sind entsprechend dem Niveau der Rücken 12 ebenfalls einstellbar.The inner end positions of the rear pressure bar 9 and the front pressure bar 8 are on the position of the flanks 13, respectively. the thickness or thickness differences of the processed book block 5 adjustable. The strokes of the rear pressure bar 9 and the front pressure bar 8 are also adjustable and essentially dependent on whether book block 5 with envelopes 11 or 29 Fälzeln be pressed. The upper end position the longitudinal guide 7 resp. Rückenanpressvorrichtung 18 and Flankenanpressvorrichtung 15 are also adjustable according to the level of the back 12.

Die vordere Anpressleiste 8, die hintere Anpressleiste 9, die Längsführung 7 und der Wagen 6 sind je mit Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24 versehen und von diesen in Richtung der Doppelpfeile hin und her antreibbar. Die Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24 sind beispielhaft als elektrische Linearantriebe dargestellt. Es sind jedoch auch Antriebsysteme mit rotativ arbeitenden Motoren und Kurbeln, Ritzel-Zahnstangensysteme, Ritzel-Zahnriemensysteme oder Mutter-Spindelsysteme denkbar. Die Energiezufuhr kann alternativ hydraulisch oder pneumatisch erfolgen. Jede Einzelantriebseinheit 16,23,24 wird gebildet durch einen Motor 2,3,4, und eine Antriebssteuerung 19,25,26 die den Motor 2,3,4 mit Energie versorgt. Nicht dargestellte und mit den Antriebssteuerungen 19,25,26 verbundene Sensoren messen laufend die Lage der Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24. Die Antriebssteuerungen 19,25,26 regeln die Energiezufuhr an die ihnen zugeordneten Motoren 2,3,4 aufgrund eines Vergleichs von Soll-Lagen der Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24 mit deren Ist-Lagen. Derartige Systeme sind dem Fachmann unter dem Begriff "Servoantrieb" bekannt. Die Soll-Lagen der Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24 sind abhängig von der Ist-Lage des Antriebs des Klebebinders und dem den Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24 zugeordneten Bewegungsgesetz. Die Antriebssteuerungen 19,25,26 der Einzelantriebseinheiten 16,23,24 sind deshalb mit einer Steuervorrichtung 17 des Klebebinders verbunden, der ein Lagesensor 28 zur Erfassung der Lage des Antriebs des Klebebinders zugeordnet ist. Dadurch dass jeder Antriebsachse eine Einzelantriebseinheit 16,23,24 zugeordnet ist, können jederzeit, auch während einer Produktion, Antriebsparameter ohne manuelle Eingriffe verändert werden. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, dass jede Einzelantriebseinheit 16,23,24 optimal auf die für den Antrieb des zugeordneten Organs erforderliche Antriebskraft eingestellt werden kann, womit pro Einzelantriebseinheit 16,23,24 ein Schutz gegen Überbelastung erreicht wird. Für die Eingabe von Produkt- und Produktionsdaten umfasst die Steuervorrichtung 17 zudem eine Bedieneinheit 21, beispielsweise eine Tastatur und für die Ausgabe von Fehlermeldungen und anderen Daten eine Ausgabeeinheit 22, beispielsweise einen Bildschirm. Bei einer alternativen Ausführung können die Bedieneinheit 21 und Ausgabeeinheit 22 durch ein sogenanntes "Touch Screen System" gebildet sein.The front pressure bar 8, the rear pressure bar 9, the longitudinal guide 7 and the carriage 6 are each provided with individual drive units 16,23,24 and driven by these in the direction of the double arrows back and forth. The individual drive units 16, 23, 24 are shown by way of example as electric linear drives. However, there are also drive systems with rotary motors and cranks, rack and pinion systems, pinion-toothed belt systems or nut-spindle systems conceivable. The energy supply can alternatively be hydraulic or pneumatic. Each individual drive unit 16, 23, 24 is formed by a motor 2, 3, 4 and a drive control 19, 25, 26 which supplies the motor 2, 3, 4 with energy. Not shown and connected to the drive controls 19,25,26 sensors continuously measure the position of the individual drive units 16,23,24. The drive controls 19,25,26 regulate the power supply to their associated motors 2,3,4 due to a comparison of desired positions of the individual drive units 16,23,24 with their actual positions. Such systems are known to the person skilled in the art by the term "servo drive". The desired positions of the individual drive units 16, 23, 24 depend on the actual position of the drive of the perfect binder and on the individual drive units 16, 23, 24. The drive controls 19,25,26 of the individual drive units 16,23,24 are therefore connected to a control device 17 of the perfect binder, which is associated with a position sensor 28 for detecting the position of the drive of the perfect binder. Because each drive axle is assigned a single drive unit 16, 23, 24, drive parameters can be selected at any time, even during production manual interventions are changed. Another advantage is that each individual drive unit 16,23,24 can be optimally adjusted to the required driving force for the drive of the associated member, thus per protection against overloading is achieved per single drive unit 16,23,24. For the input of product and production data, the control device 17 also comprises an operating unit 21, for example a keyboard and for the output of error messages and other data, an output unit 22, for example a screen. In an alternative embodiment, the operating unit 21 and output unit 22 may be formed by a so-called "touch screen system".
