Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a device for the electrostatic discharge of impressblättrigen and / or Herblättrigen Druckerei employmentn according to the claims 1 and 6.
  • Such printed products such as newspapers, magazines or parts thereof, have at least two, but usually a considerably larger number of sheets, which abut each other in the closed state of the printed product.
  • two sheets may be formed by a folded sheet, with the two sheets joined together at the seam.
  • individual leaves can also be connected to each other at a side edge, forming a covenant.
  • Those edges of the printed product which do not form the collar or a fold are to be understood in the present context as open side edges.
  • the electrostatic discharge of a material web, including a paper web, by means of ion-blast nozzles is known, for example, from the "Handbook of Electrostatic Systems" of Eltex-Elektrostatik GmbH, Weil am Rhein (print reference WP-d-ÜP 002-04 / 04-15).
  • Ionenblasdüse also in the document DE 299 23 560 U1 disclosed.
  • an air jet provided with ions is generated, which according to the invention is directed against an open side edge of a printed product.
  • this jet of air the printed product is fluffed up from the open side edge and simultaneously discharged.
  • a sticking together of the sheets of the printed products produced by electrostatic charging of the printed products is canceled out or at least considerably reduced by the electrostatic discharge, which in turn improves puffing and ensures deeper penetration of the air jet into the respective printed product for further electrostatic discharge.
  • several ion-blast nozzles can be used.
  • a flat-jet Ionenblasdüse is used, which generates a planar air jet.
  • An optimal discharge effect is achieved when the open side edge and preferably the Druckereioch are in the plane of the planar air jet.
  • the air jet is directed at right angles to the open side edge. This enables a homogeneous fluffing and unloading of the printed product in the largest possible area of the side edge.
  • a first embodiment of an inventive device for the electrostatic discharge of printed products 10 is shown. It has a processing device 12, which has a Movement path 14 for the printed products 10 pretends. It has a belt conveyor 16 designed as a conveyor 18 and a stacking device 20, the stacking shaft 22 is arranged on the conveyor belt in the conveying direction F of the conveyor 18, downstream end of the belt conveyor 16. The laterally limited by shaft walls 24 stacking shaft 22 is open at the top and a shaft bottom 26 is arranged, which in a generally known manner by means of a Hubaggregats liftable and depending on the height of the formed stack 28 is lowered such that the uppermost Printed product 10 of the stack 28 is at least approximately at a predefined height.
  • the belt conveyor 16 has two juxtaposed conveyor belts 30 (in the Fig. 2 For the sake of clarity, no printed products 10 are shown), which are driven together in the conveying direction F and form a contact surface for the printed products 10.
  • At the downstream end of each of the conveyor belts 30 is guided around a guide roller 32 associated therewith, wherein the two guide rollers 32 are mounted spaced apart in the direction of its axis on a machine frame 34.
  • a Ionenblasdüse 36 fixed in the present case, a flat-jet Ionenblasdüse which is disposed between the two conveyor belts 30 and the guide rollers 32 is further. It is meant to a plane air jet 38 which blows parallel to the conveying direction F and has charged particle ions, wherein the planar air jet 38 extends in a plane 40 determined by the ion blowing nozzle 36 which is parallel to the shaft bottom 26 and thus parallel to the stacked printed products 10 is oriented.
  • the Ionenblasdüse 36 is located below the support surface 30 defined by the conveyor belts 30 for the printed products 10 and the air jet 38 blows above the Ionenblasdüse 36 facing shaft wall 24 into the stacking shaft 22 inside.
  • the Ionenblasdüse 36 is connected in a known manner on the one hand to a high voltage supply 42 and on the other hand to a compressed air supply 44.
  • the high voltage supply 44 carries high voltage generated in a power supply unit 46 to the electrode or the electrodes of the ion blowing nozzle 36. Accordingly, the compressed air supply 44 is connected to a compressed air source 48.
  • a compressed air source 48 For example, an ion-blast nozzle R35F from Eltex-Elektrostatik GmbH, Weil am Rhein, with a corresponding power supply 46 proves to be suitable.
  • printed products 10 is a plurality of sheets 49, folded printed products which are supplied in an imbricated formation S the stacking shaft 22.
  • the movement path 14 of the printed products 10 thus runs on the belt conveyor 16 and at its end in the direction of the printed products 10 in the stacking shaft 22 into it.
  • each printed product 10 is scaly on the respective leading printed product 10, wherein the perpendicular to the conveying direction F extending fold 50 with respect to this opposite open side edge 52 of the respective printed product 10 is leading.
  • the stacking shaft 22 is equipped from above by means of printed products 10, wherein these are supplied by means of the belt conveyor 16 in the horizontal direction to the input 54 of the stacking shaft 22.
  • the shaft bottom 26 is adjusted in a known manner in an altitude such that the printed products fall 10 in a direction of conveying F falling stage on the shaft bottom 26 and the already formed stack 28.
  • the uppermost stacking shaft 22 fed to the printed product 10 by the subsequent printed product 10 at and adjacent to the open side edge 52 is exposed and thus not burdened.
  • the printed products 10 are fluffed up by means of the directed against their open side edge 52 air jet 38 and discharged simultaneously electrostatically. This is done optimally in the embodiment shown in that on the one hand the top of the stacking shaft 22 fed printed product 10 is exposed at its open side edge 52 up against the next following printed product 10 is fed to the stacking shaft and on the other hand, the shaft bottom 26 is controlled in such a high altitude, that the respective uppermost printed product 10 is located in the plane 40 of the air jet 38.
  • FIG Fig. 3 A further embodiment of a device according to the invention for the electrostatic discharge of printed products 10 is shown in FIG Fig. 3 shown schematically.
  • the processing device 12 in turn has a conveyor 18, which, however, is designed as a staple conveyor 56.
  • staples 58 are moved in the conveying direction F by means of a drive member 60, for example a revolving tension member.
  • a drive member 60 for example a revolving tension member.
  • Each of the staples 58 holds a printed product 10 at its fold 50, whereby the printed products 10 are transported in a hanging position.
  • the movement path 14 of the printed products is thus determined by the staple conveyor 56.
  • the vertical distance between the staple conveyor 56 and the support ribbons 62 is smaller than the corresponding dimension of the printed products 10, so that they rest with their folds 50 opposite, open side edge 52 on the support ribbons 62 and the printed products 10 thereby, against the conveying direction F, in Effective range of the support ribbons 62 are bent.
  • the ion-blast nozzle 36 is arranged such that the air jet 38 strikes the side edge 52 passing it at right angles and the plane 40 defined by the air jet 38 strikes the printed products in the effective region of the air jet 38 10, at least approximately coincident with an area defined by this side end region of the printed products 10 surface.
  • Fig. 4 shows a further embodiment of a processing device 12 according to the invention for the electrostatic discharge of printed products 10.
  • the conveyor 18 is formed as, the movement path 14 determining belt conveyor 16, by means of which the printed products 10 are transported in a scale formation S in the conveying direction F.
  • each printed product 10 rests on the respectively trailing printed product 10, wherein in each case the fold 50 is leading in relation to the opposite open lateral edge 52.
  • two ion-blast nozzles 36 preferably flat-jet ion-blast nozzles, are arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction F and aligned such that the planes 40 of the air jets 38 extend at least approximately parallel to the printed products 10.
  • the air jets 38 are in the conveying direction F and obliquely directed down so that they impinge at right angles to the side edges 52.
  • the printed products 10 are blown at their opposite side of the fold 50.
