Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von aus zusammengetragenen Druckbogen gebildeten klebegebundenen Buchblocks, bei dem die einen ungebundenen Buchblock bildenden Druckbogen jeweils auf dem Rücken stehend auf einem Überführungsabschnitt einer geöffneten Transportklammer einer Klebebindeeinrichtung zugeführt und anschliessend von der geschlossenen Transportklammer an den flachen Aussenseiten festgehalten werden, sowie eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens.The invention relates to a method for the production of bonded book block formed from compressed sheet, in which the unbound book block forming sheet each supplied on the back standing on a transfer section of an open transport clip an adhesive binding device and are then held by the closed transport clamp on the flat outer sides, and a device for carrying out the method.

Bei der industriellen Fertigung von klebegebundenen Druckerzeugnissen, wie Zeitschriften, Katalogen, Taschenbüchern oder ähnlichen Produkten, werden in einem ersten Schritt bedruckte Bogen zu losen Buchblocks zusammengetragen und anschliessend in einem Klebebinder im Buchrückenbereich bearbeitet und beleimt sowie mit einem Umschlag verklebt resp. gebunden. Die Lage des Druckbilds der Bogen ist nach deren Rückenkanten und in der Regel nach deren Kopfkanten referenziert, sodass wenn alle Bogen eines losen Buchblocks an diesen Referenzkanten ausgerichtet werden, alle Seiten innerhalb eines Buchblocks ebenfalls untereinander ausgerichtet sind. Nach dem Stand der Technik werden die Druckbogen in einem Förderkanal liegend durch umlaufende Förderelemente gesammelt und ausgerichtet. Eine solchermassen verwendete Zusammentrageinrichtung ist beispielsweise durch die EP 1 726 552 A1 offenbart. Nach dem Zusammentragen werden die losen Buchblocks, deren Rückenkanten quer zur Förderrichtung ausgerichtet sind um 90° gedreht, sodass die Rückenkanten nun parallel zur Förderrichtung ausgerichtet sind. In einem weiteren Schritt werden die losen Buchblocks auf die Rückenkanten aufgestellt, sodass ihre flachen Seiten senkrecht stehen, und in dieser Lage von unten in die Transportklammern des Klebebinders eingeführt. Eine solche Vorgehensweise ist in der noch nicht veröffentlichten europäischen Patentanmeldung mit der Anmelde-Nr. 06405337.4 der Anmelderin offenbart. Während des gesamten Bindeprozesses sind die Buchblocks in umlaufenden Transportklammern eingespannt, wobei ihre flächigen Seiten senkrecht und parallel zur Transportrichtung und die Rückenbereiche aus den Transportklammern leicht vorstehend nach unten gerichtet sind. Die Positioniergenauigkeit der Buchblocks in den Transportklammern ist entscheidend für die Qualität eines Buches.In the industrial production of adhesive bound printed products, such as magazines, catalogs, paperbacks or similar products, printed sheets are collected in a first step to loose book block and then processed in an adhesive binder in the spine area and glued and glued with an envelope resp. bound. The location of the printed image of the bow is after the back edges and usually referenced by their top edges, so that when all the sheets of a loose book block are aligned with these reference edges, all pages within a book block are also aligned with each other. According to the prior art, the printed sheets are collected in a conveyor channel lying by rotating conveyor elements and aligned. Such a gathering device used in such a way is for example by the EP 1 726 552 A1 disclosed. After assembly, the loose book blocks whose back edges are aligned transversely to the direction of rotation are rotated by 90 °, so that the back edges are now aligned parallel to the conveying direction. In a further step, the loose book blocks are placed on the back edges so that their flat sides are vertical, and inserted in this position from below into the transport clamps of the perfect binder. Such an approach is in the not yet published European patent application with the application no. 06405337.4 of the applicant. Throughout the binding process, the book blocks are clamped in circulating transport clamps, their flat sides are directed vertically and parallel to the transport direction and the back areas of the transport brackets slightly protruding down. The positioning accuracy of the book blocks in the transport clamps is crucial for the quality of a book.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die aus lose zusammengetragenen Druckbogen gebildeten Buchblocks den Transportklammern einer Klebebindeeinrichtung exakt ausgerichtet zuführen zu können.The invention has for its object to be able to perform the book clips formed loosely assembled sheet from the transport clamps an adhesive binder exactly aligned.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäss dadurch gelöst, dass die zusammengetragenen Druckbogen eines Buchblocks auf einem weiteren Förderabschnitt in der Transportklammer von dieser gelöst und geführt ausgerichtet und vor dem Verlassen des zum Ausrichten der Druckbogen bestimmten Förderabschnittes durch Schliessen der Transportklammer von dieser für einen weiteren Verarbeitungstransport an den flachen Aussenseiten festgeklemmt werden.The object is achieved according to the invention that the collapsed sheet of a book block on a further conveyor section in the transport clamp of this solved and guided aligned and before leaving the specific for aligning the sheet conveying section by closing the transport bracket of this for further processing transport to the flat Outer sides are clamped.

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:

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Überführungsabschnitt 4 und eine an den Überführungsabschnitt 4 anschliessende Verarbeitungsstrecke 12 einer Klebebindeeinrichtung, die an einem umlaufenden Zugmittel 16 in regelmässigen Abständen befestigte Transportklammern 5 zur Aufnahme und den Transport von aus lose zusammengetragenen Druckbogen 1 gebildeten Buchblocks 2 aufweist. Jede Transportklammer 5 besteht aus jeweils einem mit dem Zugmittel 16 fest verbundenen, eine erste Spannbacke 17 bildenden ersten Klammerteil 18 und einem an letzterem zum Öffnen und Schliessen einer Transportklammer 5 quer zur Förderrichtung F beweglich angeordneten und geführten, eine zweite Spannbacke 19 bildenden zweiten Klammerteil 20 zwischen denen die losen Buchblocks 2 eingespannt werden. Jede Transportklammer 5 besitzt an dem in Förderrichtung F rückwärtigen Ende 14 einen dem Buchblock 2 zugeordneten Mitnehmer 15 (siehe auch Fig. 2 und 3). Der erste Klammerteil 18 ist mittels Laufrollen in einer Führung 32 in Förderrichtung F verschiebbar geführt und durch das Zugmittel 16 angetrieben. Mit einer nicht dargestellten Schliessfeder -wie beispielsweise in CH 504 977 offenbart- kann der zweite Klammerteil 20 gegen den ersten Klammerteil 18 mit einer während der Bearbeitung erforderlichen Einspannkraft verspannt werden. Der bewegliche zweite Klammerteil 20 weist zudem eine über eine Einspannfläche 9 der zweiten Spannbacke 19 vorstehende, auf eine flache Aussenseite 6 eines Buchblocks 2 teilflächig einwirkende und von einer Einspannfläche 9 zurückziehbare Festhaltevorrichtung 21 auf, die durch mehrere senkrecht zur Einspannfläche 9 bewegliche Festhalteelemente 23 gebildet wird, die gemeinsam einer Rückzugsvorrichtung 24 zugeordnet und durch diese betätigbar sind. Die Rückzugsvorrichtung 24 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einem am zweiten Klammerteil 20 auf Längsführungen 33 geführten und gegen den zweiten Klammerteil 20 gefederten Balken 35, der mittels einer Rolle 34 durch eine Steuerschiene 8 quer zur Förderrichtung F verschiebbar ist. Zur Erzeugung einer für die Förderung der Buchblocks 2 in den Transportklammern 5 erforderlichen Festhaltekraft sind die Festhalteelemente 23 jeweils gegen eine durch Federn 31 aufgebrachte Federkraft abgestützt. Fig. 1 shows a transfer section 4 and an adjoining the transfer section 4 processing section 12 of an adhesive binding device, which has at a rotating traction means 16 at regular intervals fixed transport clamps 5 for receiving and transporting of loosely assembled sheet 1 book block 2. Each transport bracket 5 consists of a respective fixed to the traction means 16, a first jaw 17 forming the first clamp member 18 and a latter to open and close a transport bracket 5 transversely to the conveying direction F movably arranged and guided, a second jaw 19 forming second clamp member 20 between them the loose book blocks 2 are clamped. Each transport bracket 5 has at the rear in the conveying direction F end 14 of the book block 2 associated driver 15 (see also Fig. 2 and 3 ). The first clamp member 18 is slidably guided by means of rollers in a guide 32 in the conveying direction F and driven by the traction means 16. With a closing spring, not shown, such as in CH 504 977 disclosed, the second clamp member 20 can be clamped against the first clamp member 18 with a clamping force required during machining. The movable second clamp part 20 also has a holding device 21 projecting over a clamping surface 9 of the second clamping jaw 19 and projecting on a flat outer side 6 of a book block 2, which retracts from a clamping surface 9 and is formed by a plurality of retaining elements 23 movable perpendicular to the clamping surface 9 , which are jointly assigned to a retraction device 24 and actuated by this. The retraction device 24 consists essentially of a guided on the second clamp member 20 on longitudinal guides 33 and spring-loaded against the second clamp member 20 bar 35 which is displaceable by a roller 34 by a control rail 8 transversely to the conveying direction F. To produce a required for the promotion of the book block 2 in the transport brackets 5 holding force the retaining elements 23 are each supported against a force applied by springs 31 spring force.

Durch die Aufteilung der gegenüber der Spannkraft geringeren Festhaltekraft auf wenige Teilflächen der Aussenseiten eines Buchblocks zum sicheren Transport der Buchblocks 2 vom Überführungsabschnitt 4 zum Förderabschnitt 7 resp. Ausrichtabschnitt 13, wird ein Haften der Druckbogen 2 untereinander und der äussersten Druckbogen 2 an den Spannbacken 17,19 vermieden. Für das Öffnen und Schliessen der Transportklammern 5 ist eine Öffnerschiene 22 vorgesehen, mit der der zweite Klammerteil 20 gegen die Kraft der Schliessfeder abstützbar ist und die Transportklammer 5 mit der erforderlichen Öffnungsweite W zum Ausrichten der Druckbogen 1 eines Buchblocks 2 offen hält. Mittels einer Fördervorrichtung 11 werden die aus zusammengetragenen, jeweils auf dem Rücken stehenden Druckbogen 1 gebildeten losen Buchblocks 2 auf einem durch die Fördervorrichtung 11 und dem Überführungsabschnitt 4 gebildeten Überführungsbereich 10 von unten in die geöffneten Transportklammern 5 der Klebebindeeinrichtung eingeführt. Im Bereich des Überführungsabschnitts 4 wird die Öffnungsweite W so gewählt, dass sich die losen Druckbogen 1 der Buchblocks 2 störungsfrei zwischen die Spannbacken 17,19 einführen lassen, wobei die Festhalteelemente 23 durch die Rückzugsvorrichtung 24 in ihre inaktive äussere Endlage zurückversetzt sind. Die Fördervorrichtung 11 besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Vielzahl von in einer Bahn 25, umlaufend angetriebenen und mit Greifern 27 versehenen Förderelementen 26. Während der Überführung von der Fördervorrichtung 11 in die geöffneten Transportklammern 5 der Klebebindeeinrichtung sind die Buchblocks 2 jeweils auf dem Rücken stehend durch die Greifer 27 an ihren flachen Seiten 6 eingespannt resp. gehalten und durch die Spannbacken 17,19 seitlich geführt. Die Förderelemente 26 bleiben dazu -wie Fig. 1 zeigtim Wesentlichen horizontal ausgerichtet. Die horizontale Komponente der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Förderelemente 26 mit den Buchblocks 2 entspricht in etwa der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Transportklammern 5 in Förderrichtung F. Sobald die Förderelemente 26 einen oberen, geraden und zur Förderrichtung F parallelen Abschnitt 28 der Bahn 25 erreichen, werden die Buchblocks 2 partiell über ihre flachen Aussenseiten 6 verteilt in den Transportklammern 5 zwischen den beweglichen Festhalteelementen 23 und der ersten Spannbacke 17 mit einer Festhaltekraft erfasst, resp. festgehalten, sowie die Greifer 27 der Förderelemente 26 geöffnet und in einen Rücklaufabschnitt 29 der Bahn 25 umgelenkt. Dazu wird die Rückzugsvorrichtung 24 mit Hilfe der Steuerschiene 8 gegen die Transportklammer 5 gedrückt und die Festhalteelemente 23 frei gegeben, damit sie mit der Kraft der Federn 31 die Druckbogen gegen die erste Spannbacke 17 des ersten Klammerteils 18 pressen können. Die derart im Überführungsabschnitt 4 durch die Transportklammern 5 übernommenen Buchblocks 2 werden anschliessend dem Förderabschnitt 7 zugeführt, der durch einen einen Ausrichtabschnitt 13 aufweisenden Ausrichttisch 30 ausgestaltet ist, auf dem die Druckbogen 1 bei zureichend geöffneter Transportklammer 5 ausgerichtet werden. Im Förderabschnitt 7 werden die Festhalteelemente 23 gemeinsam durch die Rückzugsvorrichtung 24 wieder in ihre inaktive äussere Endlage zurück versetzt. Die losen Buchblocks 2 sind jetzt zwischen der ersten Spannbacke 17 und der zweiten Spannbacke 19 an den flachen Aussenseiten 6 und am Rücken 3 durch den Ausrichttisch 30 von unten geführt und werden so ausgerichtet. Der Weitertransport der Buchblöcke 2 in Förderrichtung F erfolgt jeweils mittels den am rückwärtigen Ende 14 der Transportklammern 5 angeordneten Mitnehmern 15, wobei die Druckbogen 1 gleichzeitig an den Mitnehmern 15 gleichmässig aufgestossen werden. Zur Unterstützung des Ausrichtvorgangs kann der Ausrichttisch 30 schwingend angetrieben oder durch Vibration beaufschlagt sein. Im Bereich des stromabwärts liegenden Endes des Ausrichttischs 30, beziehungsweise vor Verlassen des zum Ausrichten der Druckbogen 1 bestimmten Förderabschnitts 7 resp. Ausrichtabschnittes 13 werden die Transportklammern 5 geschlossen und die Buchblocks 2 zwischen den Einspannflächen 9 der Spannbacken 17,19 mit der zur Verarbeitung erforderlichen Einspannkraft an den flachen Aussenseiten 6 für den weiteren Verarbeitungstransport festgeklemmt. Die Festhaltekraft durch die Transportklammern 5 auf die Buchblocks 2 während der Überführung vom Überführungsabschnitt 4 auf den Förderabschnitt 7 ist wesentlich geringer als die während der Bearbeitung auszuübende Einspannkraft.Due to the distribution of the clamping force against the lower holding force on a few faces of the outsides of a book block for safe transport of the book block 2 from the transfer section 4 to the conveyor section 7, respectively. Alignment section 13, a sticking of the sheet 2 with each other and the outermost sheet 2 on the jaws 17,19 is avoided. For opening and closing the transport clamps 5, an opener rail 22 is provided, with which the second clamp part 20 can be supported against the force of the closing spring and holds the transport clamp 5 with the required opening width W for aligning the printed sheet 1 of a book block 2. By means of a conveying device 11, the loose book block 2 formed from gathered, each standing on the spine sheet 1 are introduced from below into the open transport brackets 5 of the adhesive binding device on a transfer region 10 formed by the conveyor 11 and the transfer section 4. In the area of the transfer section 4, the opening width W is chosen such that the loose printed sheets 1 of the book block 2 can be inserted without interference between the clamping jaws 17, 19, wherein the retaining elements 23 are set back by the retraction device 24 into their inactive outer end position. The conveyor device 11 consists essentially of a plurality of in a web 25, circumferentially driven and provided with grippers 27 conveying elements 26. During the transfer of the conveyor 11 into the open transport clamps 5 of the adhesive binding device, the book blocks 2 are each standing on their backs through the Gripper 27 clamped on their flat sides 6 resp. held and laterally guided by the jaws 17,19. The conveying elements 26 remain to-how Fig. 1 shows substantially horizontally aligned. The horizontal component The conveyor speed of the conveyor elements 26 with the book block 2 corresponds approximately to the transport speed of the transport clamps 5 in the conveying direction F. As soon as the conveyor elements 26 reach an upper, straight and parallel to the conveying direction F section 28 of the web 25, the book blocks 2 partially over their flat outer sides 6 distributed in the transport clamps 5 between the movable retaining elements 23 and the first clamping jaw 17 detected with a holding force, respectively. held, and the gripper 27 of the conveying elements 26 is opened and deflected in a return section 29 of the web 25. For this purpose, the retraction device 24 is pressed by means of the control rail 8 against the transport clamp 5 and the retaining elements 23 released so that they can press the sheets 31 against the first clamping jaw 17 of the first clamp member 18 with the force of the springs. The thus adopted in the transfer section 4 by the transport brackets 5 book block 2 are then fed to the conveyor section 7, which is configured by an alignment section 13 having alignment table 30 on which the sheets 1 are aligned at sufficiently open transport bracket 5. In the conveying section 7, the retaining elements 23 are moved back together by the retraction device 24 back to its inactive outer end position. The loose book blocks 2 are now guided between the first clamping jaw 17 and the second clamping jaw 19 on the flat outer sides 6 and the back 3 by the alignment table 30 from below and are aligned. The further transport of the book blocks 2 in the conveying direction F takes place in each case by means of the arranged at the rear end 14 of the transport clamps 5 drivers 15, wherein the sheets 1 are simultaneously pushed on the drivers 15 evenly. For support of the alignment operation, the alignment table 30 may be vibratorily driven or vibrated. In the region of the downstream end of the alignment table 30, or before leaving the designated for aligning the sheet 1 conveying section 7 respectively. Alignment 13, the transport clamps 5 are closed and the book blocks 2 clamped between the clamping surfaces 9 of the clamping jaws 17,19 with the clamping force required for processing on the flat outer sides 6 for further processing transport. The holding force by the transport brackets 5 on the book block 2 during the transfer from the transfer section 4 to the conveyor section 7 is substantially less than the clamping force to be exerted during machining.
