Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a saddle stitcher is from the document DE 10058796 A1 known.
  • Generic saddle stitchers are known. From folded sheet investors individual folded sheets are separated from a stack, opened and placed on the gathering chain.
  • the gathering chain has a guide device whose upper portion is formed like a blade and whose ridge line defines the transport and stitching line, and a substantially roof-shaped support on which the signatures are transported astride.
  • the collecting chain has entrainment elements which convey the deposited folding sheets in the horizontal direction.
  • the folded sheets conveyed by the gathering chain and the carriers are transported through the gathering chain up to a stitching station, in which successive folded sheets are stapled in the fold with the aid of wire staples.
  • stapling heads arranged above the gathering chain and clincher boxes arranged below the gathering chain which bend the free ends of the wire staples pierced by the stapling heads through the folding sheets. Thereafter, the stapled folded sheets are transported in the boom area of the gathering chain for further processing. For example, edge trim and display follow.
  • the productivity of a saddle stitcher depends not only on the operating speed, but also on how many products can be processed with the machine in a given time.
  • the chain pitch is adapted to the product format, ie, the distance between the pins on the gathering chain is changed. Since with smaller products a smaller distance between the drivers on the gathering chain is sufficient, by a corresponding reduction of this distance more products can be stored on the gathering chain per unit of time, whereby the productivity increases.
  • driving elements can be attached to outer straps of roller chains by means of screwing and simply removed again.
  • entrainment elements can be attached without tools to the external straps of the roller chain by means of clamping connections.
  • the driver elements may be designed as plastic pins which are inserted into saddle segments of the collector chain provided with receiver holes.
  • the post-published EP 1939008 A2 equals to DE 10 2007 053 490 A1 and shows a saddle stitcher with an endless gathering chain for rallying and transporting folded sheets, the gathering chain having chain end segments and dog elements and the cam element being adjustable in position.
  • the folding driver element forms in an inactive position part of the roof of the gathering chain and protrudes in a different, active position transversely to the conveying direction from the roof of the gathering chain.
  • the driver element can be controlled.
  • the chain pitch of the collector chain can be quickly and easily adapted to different product formats to be processed.
  • the closing movement of the Umbiegers is usually initiated by frame fixed arranged curves via a arranged on the stitching lever. This also requires an adaptation of the drive of the bender to the corresponding collection chain pitch. This can be done for example by a complex replacement of the frame-fixed guide curves.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide a saddle stitcher, which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art and in which the adaptation of the drive of the bender to the collection chain division is unnecessary.
  • a saddle stitcher with the characterizing feature of claim 1.
  • the drive of the bender does not have to be adapted to the collection chain pitch and is independent of the position of the stitching carriage.
  • the drive is therefore independent of frame-mounted control cams.
  • the saddle stitcher according to the invention for gathering signatures of paper or paperboard, for wire stapling of the collected signatures and for laying out the stitched signatures comprises a collecting section with a conveyor driven by a first drive, a stitching station and a delivery station.
  • the conveying means of the collecting line can in particular be a collecting chain, which is driven by a controllable electric motor.
  • the stapling station has a stapling carriage with at least one stapling head, wherein the stapling carriage during the stapling operation at approximately the speed of the collected signatures, d. H. the speed of the conveyor, is moved by a second drive. This second drive may in particular be a controllable electric motor.
  • the stapling carriage comprises at least one bender, which is assigned to the at least one stapling head, so that each stapling head is assigned a bender.
  • the Umbieger also referred to as Klinscher, is driven by a third drive.
  • Klinschzeittician the staple closing process. This can be controlled variably and independently of the machine speed and adapted to the stapling speed.
  • both the stapling head and the clincher are driven by the third drive.
  • Stapling head and Umbieger are each connected via a gearbox with the third drive, wherein the transmission of the clincher has a cam gear, a coupling gear, a Nutwelle, a Nutwellemutter and a clinching ram.
  • the cam mechanism is by means of Belt connected to the third drive, the groove shaft is connected by means of the coupling gear with the cam gear and the clinching ram is connected by means of the Nutwelle nut with the groove shaft.
  • the ram tappet is displaceable together with the Nutwellenmutter on the Nutwelle. Since the Nutwellenmutter is connected to the stitching carriage, both are moved together by the stitching carriage drive, the second drive.
  • the bender is driven by the third drive and the stapling head by a fourth drive.
  • the third drive advantageously has a controllable electric motor, in particular a servomotor.
  • the third drive may have a pneumatic cylinder.
  • the machine components of the saddle stitcher according to Fig. 1 comprise three feeders 10, 12, 14, each of which transmits a signature 16, 18, 20 to a continuous conveyor 34 (not shown in detail here).
  • the thus ab- and superimposed signatures 16, 18, 20 form together collected signatures 30, which as before the forming paperback, in a transport direction according to the arrow P along a transport and stitching line 22 is transported, along the Investors 10, 12, 14 and a stitching station 24 also extends to a delivery station 29.
  • the stitching station 24 in the present exemplary embodiment comprises two stitching heads 26 and a respective one assigned to them, in FIG Fig. 1 unrecognizable Umbieger which bend by means of stapling heads 26 in the booklets to be stapled 30 wire clips 27 and that the legs of the wire staples 27, which have penetrated the collected signatures 30.
  • the delivery station 29 comprises in the present embodiment, a machine component in the form of an ejector, not shown.
  • the ejector engages in the respective fold breakage of the stapled brochure 32 and lifts it out of the transport and stapling line 22 so that it can be transported further in the direction of the arrow T, preferably in the direction of a trimming device.
  • a measuring station 33 is provided, in which the thickness of the stitched together to be stapled signatures 30 is determined.
  • the continuous conveyor 34 is formed in the present embodiment as an endless operationally circulating collecting chain, are arranged on which driver 35, which in this case astride the saddle transferred signatures 16, 18, 20 and finally pushed to stapled compiled signatures 30 in front of him.
  • FIGS. 2a and 2 B show the drive of the ejector carriage 108 and the stitching carriage 107 for large or alternatively for small product format. Shown is the drive for each aggregated signatures of large product format 30G, which are shown in phantom, and small product format 30K, which are shown by a solid line.
  • the signatures 30 are from a continuous conveyor 34, z. B. a gathering chain, transported in the transport direction P by the stitching station 24 to the delivery station 29.
  • the large-format products may be products in the A3 format
  • the small-format products may be products in the A4 format.
  • Fig. 2a is the situation in the acquisition of stapled signatures 30 and the subsequent stapling in the stitching station 24 shown.
  • a collated large product format signature 30G which is passed through the cam 35G and processed by the stapling head (not shown) of the stapling carriage 107G.

  • FIG. 2b shows a stapled paperback of large product format 32G which abuts a driver 35G as well as a stapled paperback of small product format 32K which abuts a cam 35K.
  • Stapled brochures 32G and 32K, respectively, are laid out by an ejector (not shown) mounted on the ejector carriage 108. The center of the ejector carriage thereby assumes the position of the center of the delivery station 170, which coincides with the center of the stapled brochures 32, regardless of whether it is a large product format 32G or a small product format 32K.
