Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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.
  • driver elements can be used e.g. attached by screwing to outer plates of roller chains and easily removed again.
  • entrainment elements can be attached without tools to the external straps of the roller chain by means of clamping connections.
  • driver elements may be designed as plastic pins which are inserted into saddle segments of the collector chain provided with receiver holes.
  • the DE 10 2006 057 681 shows a saddle stitcher with an endless gathering chain for astride collecting and transporting folded sheets, the collecting chain has Kettendachsegmente and driver elements and the driver element is 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.
  • EP 917965 A1 discloses a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • 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 speed profile of the stapler to the collecting chain pitch is easy to carry out.
  • the saddle stitcher according to the invention for collating signatures of paper, cardboard and the like, for stapling the collected signatures and for laying out the stitched signatures comprises a collecting section, a stitching station and a delivery station.
  • the stapling station has a stapling carriage with at least one stapling head, and the stapling carriage is moved by a stapling carriage drive at approximately the speed of the collected signatures during the stapling operation.
  • the collection line comprises a transport unit moved by a drive, such as a gathering chain, for transporting the signatures.
  • a circuit unit is advantageously arranged for adapting the stitching carriage movement to the distance of accumulated signatures entering the stitching station to subsequently arriving collated signatures, d. H. to adapt to the gathering chain pitch, and to adjust the position of the stitching carriage relative to the delivery station, i. for adjusting the horizontal distance of the center of the stitching carriage to the center of the delivery station.
  • the circuit unit is formed by a coupling mechanism with displaceable crosspoint.
  • the circuit unit comprises a rocker, which is connected via a drive coupling with the stitching carriage drive and an output coupling with the stitching carriage.
  • Drive coupling and rocker are connected together in a first crosspoint.
  • Output coupling and rocker turn are connected together in a second crosspoint.
  • One of the two crosspoints is in its position on the rocker variable, in particular displaceable, and serves to adapt the circuit unit to the product format.
  • the change in the position of the at least one coupling point is effected by an actuator.
  • the actuator may advantageously be a pneumatic cylinder; Alternatively, the adjustment can also be carried out by electric motor, for example via a motor and spindle, or hydraulically. It is particularly advantageous if the actuator is connected to the control of the saddle stitcher and is controlled by it. The setting of the circuit unit and the adjustment of the saddle stitcher to the collecting chain pitch can thus be done automatically in a simple manner.
  • the delivery station has an ejector carriage with ejector for laying out the stitched signatures, the ejector carriage being moved during the laying process at approximately the speed of the stitched signatures by an ejector carriage drive and the ejector carriage drive and the stitching carriage drive mechanically coupled to each other are.
  • the ejector carriage drive and the stitching carriage drive are not mechanically coupled with each other but via a virtual shaft.
  • Stitch carriage drive and / or Auswerferschlittenantrieb can advantageously comprise a controllable electric motor.
  • 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 bender, which bend by means of the stitching heads 26 in the stapled brochures 30 stapled 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.
  • a small product format 30K compiled signature carried by a driver 35K and processed by the stapling head (not shown) of the stapling carriage 107K.
  • the stapling carriage 107 is moved vertically during the stapling operation at approximately the speed of the signatures 30 to be stapled.
  • 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.
  • a circuit unit 160 is arranged for adapting and optimizing the stitching carriage movement to the collecting chain pitch G, K, ie for adapting the horizontal lifting movement of the stitching carriage 107 and for adapting the horizontal spacing of the stitching carriage 107 and the deploying station 29.
  • the stapling carriage 107 is guided by a linear guide 109 and is moved during the stapling operation in a horizontal plane at about the speed of the signature 30.
  • the stapling carriage 107 is driven by a stapling carriage drive 140.
  • the ejector carriage 108 is also guided by a linear guide 109 and moved approximately at the speed of the stapled brochures 32 during the ejecting operation.
  • the ejector carriage 108 is driven by an ejector carriage drive 150.
  • the stitching carriage drive 140 and the ejector carriage drive 150 are mechanically coupled together.
  • the two drives 150, 140 could also be coupled together by an electronic shaft.
  • the gathering chain 34 has drivers 35, which serve to transport the collected signatures 30.
  • the position of the drivers 35 on the gathering chain 34 be adjusted.
  • the drivers 35G are at a different position than the 35K small product format carriers 35K. In this way, the gathering chain 34 can be set to a large chain pitch G for a large product format and a small chain pitch K for a small product format.
