Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Sammeln oder Zusammentragen von Druckbogen zu Vorprodukten für die Herstellung gebundener Druckerzeugnisse, bestehend aus mehreren entlang einer Fördervorrichtung nebeneinander angeordneten, wenigstens zwei Anleger aufweisenden, austauschbaren Anlegereinheiten zur Beschickung der mit Mitnehmern ausgebildeten Fördervorrichtung mit Druckbogen, wobei jeder der auf einem Untergestell aufsetzbaren Anlegereinheit ein zur Energie- und Steuerungsversorgung ausgebildeter Schnittstellenabschnitt zugeordnet ist.The invention relates to a device for collecting or collating printed sheets to intermediate products for the production of bound printed products, consisting of several along a conveyor side by side, at least two investors having, exchangeable Anlegereinheiten for feeding the driver formed with carriers conveyor with printing sheet, each of which on a Substructure can be placed investor unit assigned to an energy and control supply trained interface section.

Einrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art sind dem Fachmann als Zusammentragmaschinen für Klebebinder oder als Sammeleinrichtungen resp. Sammelförderer für Sammelhefter bekannt. Solche Einrichtungen weisen eine Mehrzahl entlang der Sammeleinrichtung angeordnete Anleger auf, die die Fördervorrichtung mit Druckprodukten beschicken. Obwohl die Prinzipien des Beschickens bei solchen Einrichtungen ähnlich sind, bestehen hinsichtlich Aufbau und Ausbildung gewisse Unterschiede. Diese zeigen sich in der Forderung nach einer guten Wirtschaftlichkeit, vor allem in Abhängigkeit einer zu verarbeitenden Auflagenhöhe und der Komplexität der zu verarbeitenden Druckprodukten oder Druckbogen bzw. der zu fertigenden Druckerzeugnisse. Komplexe Druckerzeugnisse bestehen beispielsweise aus mehreren Druckbogen, eingeklebten Karten und/oder Warenmustern, Bogen, die an der offenen Seite eingebunden werden sollen oder Bogen mit einem letzten Falz am Kopf. Alle von Standard-Druckbogen resp. einfach zu verarbeitenden Druckbogen abweichende komplizierte Druckbogen erfordern für die Verarbeitung dafür ausgebildete Anleger, wobei auch die Lage dieser Anleger entlang der Fördervorrichtung von der Ausführungsform, der vorgegebenen Form resp. dem Inhalt des zu fertigenden Druckerzeugnisses bestimmt wird. Das Untergestell besteht aus fabrikations-, transport- und montagetechnischen Gründen aus mehreren aneinandergereihten Untergestellteilen. Es besteht der Anspruch, diese elementartige Bauart der bekannten Einrichtung und ihr Einsatz aufgrund des hohen Aufwandes wirtschaftlicher zu nutzen. Zur Verarbeitung von Standard-Druckbogen sind Zusammentragmaschinen bekannt, die identische, in Förderrichtung betrachtet aneinandergereihte Maschinenelemente aufweisen. Jedes Maschinenelement bildet dabei eine nicht weiter teilbare Einheit. Bei dieser Bauart ist eine einheitliche Infrastruktur an den Maschinenelementen vorgesehen, so zum Beispiel für den Anlegerantrieb, die Vereinzelungsorgane oder die Rückhalter. Es sind grundsätzlich zwei verschiedene Arten der Baustruktur von Zusammentragmaschinen bekannt; solche mit einer geringeren Produktionsgeschwindigkeit für die Verarbeitung von Standard-Druckbogen als einfache Zusammentragmaschinen ohne Flexibilität, hier Typ I bezeichnet, und solche, Typ II, mit einer höheren Produktionsgeschwindigkeit, die wahlweise mit unterschiedlichen Anlegern ausgerüstet sind und einen höheren Grad an Flexibilität aufweisen. Aufgrund der Kundenbedürfnisse werden im Markt zusätzlich Zusammentragmaschinen mit einer gewissen Flexibilität verlangt, ohne dass gleichzeitig eine hohe Produktionsleistung erbracht werden muss.Devices of the type mentioned are the expert as collating machines for perfect binder or as collecting devices resp. Collective conveyor known for saddle stitcher. Such devices have a plurality of investors arranged along the collecting device, which feed the conveying device with printed products. Although the principles of charging are similar in such devices, there are Structure and training certain differences. These are reflected in the demand for good economy, above all as a function of the number of copies to be processed and the complexity of the printed products or printed sheets to be processed or of the printed products to be produced. Complex printed products consist for example of several printed sheets, glued cards and / or samples, sheets that are to be integrated on the open side or sheets with a last fold on the head. All of standard printed sheets resp. easy-to-process printed sheet deviating complicated sheet require for processing trained for investors, with the location of these investors along the conveyor of the embodiment, the predetermined form resp. the content of the printed product to be produced is determined. The base is made of manufacturing, transport and assembly reasons of several juxtaposed underframe parts. There is a claim, this element-like design of the known device and its use due to the high cost to use more economically. Collating machines are known for processing standard printed sheets which have identical machine elements which are juxtaposed in the conveying direction. Each machine element forms a non-divisible unit. In this design, a uniform infrastructure is provided on the machine elements, such as for the feeder drive, the separating organs or the retainers. There are basically two different types of construction of gathering machines known; those with a lower production speed for the processing of standard press sheets than simple gathering machines without flexibility, here called type I, and those, type II, with a higher one Production speed, which are optionally equipped with different investors and have a higher degree of flexibility. Due to customer needs, additional gathering machines with a certain flexibility are demanded in the market, without at the same time providing a high production output.

Es stellt sich somit die Aufgabe, eine Einrichtung zum Sammeln oder Zusammentragen von Druckbogen zu schaffen, die einerseits einen einfachen Aufbau aufweist und andererseits die Möglichkeit bietet, von Standard Druckbogen abweichende Druckbogen verarbeiten zu können.It is therefore an object to provide a device for collecting or collating sheets that on the one hand has a simple structure and on the other hand provides the ability to process different from standard printed sheets sheet.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass das Untergestell zur Befestigung einer im Schnittstellenabschnitt aufsetzbaren Adaptiervorrichtung ausgebildet ist, die gegenüber dem Untergestell eine kompatible Unterseite aufweist und an der Oberseite zur Befestigung von Anlegern nach einer Anordnung ausgebildet ist, die von der Schnittstellenanordnung abweicht.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the underframe is designed for fastening an adapter device that can be placed in the interface section, which has a compatible underside with respect to the underframe and is designed on the upper side for fastening investors according to an arrangement which deviates from the interface arrangement.

Anschliessend wird die vorgeschlagene Einrichtung unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung, auf die bezüglich aller in der Beschreibung nicht erwähnten Einzelheiten verwiesen wird, anhand eines Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert. In der Zeichnung zeigen:

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Ausschnitt einer komplexen Sammeleinrichtung 1 Typ I nach dem Stand der Technik zum Zusammentragen von Druckbogen 22 zu Vorprodukten 8 für die Herstellung gebundener Druckerzeugnisse wie Bücher, Broschuren oder dgl. Die Sammeleinrichtung 1 ist modular aufgebaut und besteht im Wesentlichen aus in Förderrichtung F aneinandergereihten Untergestellteilen der Sammeleinrichtung Typ I und auf diesen angeordneten unterschiedlichen Anlegern 11,12,13,14 passend zu Sammeleinrichtung Typ I. Nach Fig. 2 weisen die Untergestellteile resp. weist das Untergestell eine Mehrzahl von identischen Anlegerschnittstellen 10, für die verwendbaren Anleger 11,12,13,14 zu Sammeleinrichtung Typ I, sowie einen ihrer Gesamtlänge entsprechenden Teil einer Fördervorrichtung 2 auf. Unterschiedliche Anleger sind in den Fig. 3, Standard-Anleger 11, Fig. 4, Spezial-Anleger 12, Fig. 5, Spezial-Anleger 13, in Fig. 6, weiterer Spezial-Anleger 14 gezeigt. Die Anleger 11,12,13,14 unterscheiden sich in der Weise, dass jeder für das Vereinzeln und Zuführen einer bestimmten Art von Druckbogen 22 ausgebildet ist. Die Unterseiten aller Anleger 11,12,13,14 sind passend an die Anlegerschnittstellen 10 der Untergestellteile ausgebildet. Das in Fig. 2 dargestellte Untergestellteil verfügt beispielsweise über drei Anlegerschnittstellen 10. Die Anlegerschnittstellen 10 sind in den Figuren 1, 2 und 11 vereinfacht dargestellt. Die Anlegerschnittstellen 10 besitzen die gesamte für den Betrieb der Anleger 11,12,13,14 benötigte Infrastruktur, wie beispielsweise Energiezufuhr, Leitungen für den Austausch von Steuersignalen sowie für Druckluft, Vakuum und die Schmiermittelversorgung. Das Konzept der Sammeleinrichtung 1 Typ I ist auf volle Flexibilität ausgelegt. Durch aneinanderreihen von Untergestellteilen lässt sich eine Fördervorrichtung 2 beliebiger Länge, mit einer beliebigen Anzahl Anlegerschnittstellen 10 bilden, und durch die Austauschbarkeit der Anleger 11,12,13,14 ist die erforderliche Reihenfolge, in der die Vorprodukte 8 gesammelt werden, wählbar.The Fig. 1 shows a section of a complex collecting device 1 type I according to the prior art for collating printed sheets 22 to precursors 8 for the production of bound printed products such as books, brochures or the like. The collecting device 1 is modular and consists essentially of juxtaposed in the conveying direction F base parts the collection device type I and arranged on this different investors 11,12,13,14 suitable for collection device type I. Nach Fig. 2 have the base parts resp. For example, the subframe has a plurality of identical feeder interfaces 10, for the usable feeder 11, 12, 13, 14 for collecting device type I, as well as a part of a conveying device 2 corresponding to its overall length. Different investors are in the Fig. 3 , Standard feeder 11, Fig. 4 , Special feeder 12, Fig. 5 , Special investor 13, in Fig. 6 , another special feeder 14 shown. The feeders 11, 12, 13, 14 are different in that each one is designed for singulating and feeding a certain type of printed sheet 22. The undersides of all feeders 11, 12, 13, 14 are suitably designed for the feeder interfaces 10 of the underframe parts. This in Fig. 2 illustrated base part has, for example, three investor interfaces 10. The investor interfaces 10 are in the FIGS. 1 . 2 and 11 shown in simplified form. The investor interfaces 10 have the entire infrastructure required for the operation of the investors 11,12,13,14, such as Power supply, lines for the exchange of control signals and for compressed air, vacuum and lubricant supply. The concept of the collector 1 type I is designed for full flexibility. By juxtaposing underframe parts can be a conveyor 2 of any length, with any number of investor interfaces 10 form, and by the interchangeability of the investors 11,12,13,14 the required order in which the precursors 8 are collected, selectable.

Eine in Fig. 7 dargestellte Sammeleinrichtung 20 Typ II zum Sammeln oder Zusammentragen von Druckbogen 22 zu Vorprodukten 8 für die Herstellung gebundener Druckerzeugnisse besteht aus mehreren, entlang einer Fördervorrichtung 2 nebeneinander angeordneten, austauschbaren Anlegereinheiten 3 zur Beschickung einer mit Mitnehmern 4 ausgebildeten Fördervorrichtung 2 mit Druckbogen 22. Jeder der auf einem Untergestell 5 aufgesetzten Anlegereinheit 3 ist ein zur Energie- und Steuerungsversorgung ausgebildeter Schnittstellenabschnitt 6 zugeordnet. Jedes Untergestell 5 weist für jeden Schnittstellenabschnitt 6 eine Schnittstelle 18 und einen seiner Länge entsprechenden Abschnitt an der Fördervorrichtung 2 auf. Die am Untergestell 5 angeordnete Fördervorrichtung 2 wird im Wesentlichen durch einen horizontalen Kanal 15 mit an einem umlaufenden Zugmittel 16 befestigten Mitnehmern 4 gebildet, wobei die Mitnehmer 4 während dem Sammelvorgang die Druckbogen 22 in Förderrichtung F durch den Kanal 15 schieben. Die oberhalb der Fördervorrichtung 2 angeordneten Anlegereinheiten 3 transportieren die Druckbogen 22 etwa gleichsinnig zur Förderrichtung F. Eine Anlegereinheit 3 umfasst mehrere Anleger 19, eine Bedieneinheit 17 und eine aus zwei aneinanderstossenden Teilen gebildete Schnittstelle 18. Dadurch ist nicht für jeden einzelnen Anleger 19 eine vollständige Infrastruktur erforderlich, sondern es kann die in der Anlegereinheit 3 vorhandene Infrastruktur durch mehrere Anleger 19 gemeinsam genutzt werden. Bei der Schnittstelle 18 und der Bedieneinheit 17 ist dies offensichtlich. Bei taktsynchron arbeitenden Anlegern 19 lassen sich die Sauger, Greifer und die Rückhalter innerhalb einer Anlegereinheit 3 mit jeweils einem Antrieb gemeinsam antreiben. In Fig. 11 ist wiederum die Sammeleinrichtung 20 Typ II gemäss Fig. 7 dargestellt, mit dem Unterschied, dass anstelle einer Anlegereinheit 3 ein mit einer Adaptiervorrichtung 7 verbundener Spezial-Anleger 12 der Sammeleinrichtung I nach Fig. 1 aufgesetzt ist. Die Adaptiervorrichtung 7 weist an der Unterseite eine zur Schnittstelle 18 kompatible Schnittstelle auf und ist an der Oberseite zur Befestigung von Anlegern 11,12,13,14 nach einer Anordnung ausgebildet, die von der Schnittstellenanordnung der Schnittstelle 18 abweicht. Die Schnittstelle 18 weist beispielsweise Mittel für das Ausrichten und Befestigen von Anlegereinheiten 3 oder Adaptiervorrichtungen 7, Anschlüsse für das Zu- oder Abführen von Stoffen, wie Luft oder Schmiermittel, Anschlüsse für die Zufuhr von Energie und den Austausch von Steuersignalen auf. An ihrer Oberseite weist die Adaptiervorrichtung 7 eine gleiche Anlegerschnittstelle 10 auf, wie die Untergestellteile der Sammeleinrichtung 1 Typ I und hat vorzugsweise etwa die Länge eines Schnittstellenabschnitts 6. In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführungsform kann die Adaptiervorrichtung 7 als die Druckbogen 22 überführendes Förderelement zwischen Anleger 11,12,13,14 und Fördervorrichtung 2 ausgebildet sein und für deren Antrieb erforderliche Antriebsmittel aufweisen. Eine zwischen die beiden Schnittstellen der Adaptiervorrichtung 7 geschaltete Steuervorrichtung 21 ist für die Steuerung der Adaptiervorrichtung 7 und für den Austausch von Steuersignalen mit Anlegern 11,12,13,14 und der Schnittstelle 18 des Untergestells 5 vorgesehen. Vereinfacht gesagt verhält sich die Steuervorrichtung 21 der Adaptiervorrichtung 7 gegenüber einem Anleger 11,12,13,14 Typ I so, als befinde sich letzterer auf einem Untergestellteil für eine Sammeleinrichtung 1 Typ I und sie verhält sich gegenüber dem Untergestell 5 des Typs II so, als sei eine Anlegereinheit 3 der Sammeleinrichtung 20 Typ II aufgesetzt. Mit dem Einsatz der Adaptiervorrichtung 7 wird es somit möglich, einen beliebigen Anleger 11,12,13,14 der Sammeleinrichtung 1 Typ I in eine Sammeleinrichtung 20 Typ II zu integrieren.An in Fig. 7 illustrated collection device 20 type II for collecting or collating printed sheet 22 to precursors 8 for the production of bound printed products consists of several, along a conveyor 2 juxtaposed, interchangeable Anlegereinheiten 3 for feeding a trained with carriers 4 conveyor 2 with printed sheet 22. Each of the on a sub-frame 5 attached investor unit 3 is assigned to an energy and control supply trained interface section 6. Each sub-frame 5 has, for each interface section 6, an interface 18 and a section corresponding to its length on the conveyor device 2. The arranged on the undercarriage 5 conveyor 2 is essentially formed by a horizontal channel 15 with attached to a rotating traction means 16 drivers 4, wherein the driver 4 during the collection process push the sheet 22 in the conveying direction F through the channel 15. An investor unit 3 comprises a plurality of feeders 19, an operating unit 17 and an interface 18 formed from two juxtaposed parts. This is not the case for every single feeder 19 a complete infrastructure is required, but it can be shared by several investors 19, the existing in the investor unit 3 infrastructure. This is obvious in the case of the interface 18 and the operating unit 17. In isochronous investors 19 can suckers, grippers and retainers within a investor unit 3, each with a drive drive together. In Fig. 11 again is the collection device 20 type II according to Fig. 7 shown, with the difference that instead of a investor unit 3 connected to an adapter 7 special feeder 12 of the collector I after Fig. 1 is attached. The adaptation device 7 has an interface compatible with the interface 18 on the underside and is formed on the upper side for fastening investors 11, 12, 13, 14 in accordance with an arrangement which deviates from the interface arrangement of the interface 18. The interface 18 comprises, for example, means for aligning and fixing feeder units 3 or adapting devices 7, connections for the supply or removal of substances such as air or lubricant, connections for the supply of energy and the exchange of control signals. On its upper side, the adapter device 7 has a same feeder interface 10 as the lower frame parts of the collector 1 type I and preferably has approximately the length of an interface section 6. In a further preferred embodiment, the adapter device 7 as conveying element 22 conveying conveyor between feeder 11, 12,13,14 and conveyor 2 may be formed and have required for the drive drive means. A switched between the two interfaces of the adapter 7 control device 21 is for the control of the adapter 7 and for the exchange of control signals with investors 11,12,13,14 and the interface 18 of the undercarriage 5 is provided. Put simply, the control device 21 of the adapter device 7 acts in relation to a feeder 11, 12, 13, 14, type I, as if the latter is located on an underframe part for a collector 1, type I, and it is in relation to the base frame 5, type II, as if a feeder unit 3 of the collecting device 20 type II is placed. With the use of the adapter device 7, it is thus possible to integrate any one of the feeders 11, 12, 13, 14 of the collecting device 1, type I into a collecting device 20, type II.
