Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a folded sheet, wherein the sheet is fed, aligned and folded, wherein the sheet is brought during the feeding in an inclined position to the running direction, wherein the skewed sheet is aligned and wherein the aligned sheet in a folding device is transferred to produce at least one fold which extends at an angle to the edges of the sheet.
  • a device for producing a folded sheet in particular for carrying out the method, with a feed, an aligning device and at least one folding device, wherein the alignment means comprises at least one stop for bringing the sheet in an inclined position, which is about an axis of rotation in the direction of the aligned sheet is rotatable, indicated.
  • the known device basically comprises a feeder, an alignment device and a folding machine and already allows a fold obliquely to an edge of a rectangular arc.
  • a multiply folded product requires in the known method a plurality of process steps, in particular two alignment steps and at least two different folding devices and is therefore costly.
  • Another disadvantage is that the skew is necessarily tied to the Messerfalzautomaten and thus initially leaves no choice with regard to the folding device.
  • the orientation means contained in the knife folding machine are in the form of pins against which the sheet abuts, thus maintaining alignment.
  • an envelope folding machine wherein the sheet is skewed during feeding. The feed takes place via a board. How the sheet has reached the desired position is not described. It can be assumed that a stack was previously formed in the appropriate arrangement and shape, or that the desired arrangement was brought about manually. Both would be high Time and labor costs go along and make production more difficult.
  • the envelope folding machine in question has stops in the form of wire fingers. These are connected via a block and a screw fixed to a lever arm and adjusted to the shape of the incoming sheet. The lever arm is rotatably mounted in a fork joint. The axis of rotation for the wire fingers is located outside and requires an increased design effort. This way of realizing the rotation - namely via an external axis of rotation - is associated with high production costs.
  • the GB 224 500 A shows another Umzzifaltmaschine with two folding plates that fold the bow.
  • the feeder does not matter.
  • the folding plates are subordinate translationally displaceable stop elements.
  • the local stop elements are aligned on the one hand to the folding plates, on the other hand, they have projecting ends in the sense of attacks against which the edges of the cover paper are supported.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a method and apparatus of the type in question, which simplifies the production, made more flexible and reduces costs. According to an alternative device, a reduction of manufacturing costs by quality improvement should be achieved.
  • a device of the type in question according to the first alternative is configured such that the folding device is a Taschenfalzwerk, whose first pocket is tuned in shaping on skewed edges of the sheet.
  • a device of the type in question according to the second alternative is configured such that the axis of rotation extends through the stop.
  • the known method can be improved by the supply and the inclined position is done by machine and Concrete on conveyors at different speeds is brought about.
  • the known device in two directions concerning the formation of the pocket folder on the one hand and the formation of the attacks on the other hand can be improved.
  • a pocket folder is provided whose first pocket is matched to the inclined edges of the sheet.
  • Conventional Taschenfalzwerke have only one edge-parallel internal shape.
  • a first pocket is provided which can receive the oblique edges of the aligned sheet.
  • the alignment device could advantageously be present as a separate structural unit, which can be combined with different feeders and / or folding devices.
  • the movement of the conveyor belts could be exploited to continue to drive the sheet when entering the alignment.
  • the sheet could partially remain on the conveyor belts when entering the alignment device and be acted upon by these with feed force.
  • a vacuum could be applied to the sheet to maintain the desired position so that it is fixed in the alignment created by the stops.
  • an intake belt or a suction roll could be provided.
  • the stops are to be removed from the transport path, so that in this way the way to release to the folding device will release.
  • the transport to the folding device could take place via the suction belt or the suction roller.
  • the suction belt could already be in motion when the sheet comes from the feeder.
  • only very low speeds of at most 1 m / min come into consideration so as not to obstruct the intake process.
  • the sheet could be folded at least once, angled to the edges.
  • a plow folder is selected according to a variant of the method, then either a pre-grooved sheet is to be used or the sheet must pass through a groove work before entering the plow folder.
  • the plow folder can be equipped with two parallel shaped sheets and form two folds with one pass and fold the sheet accordingly.
  • a pocket folder is selected as a folding device, it is possible to carry out a plurality of folding operations in different pockets of the pocket folder.
  • the first pocket of the pocket folder in shape must be adapted to the skewed edges of the bow. Quasi an "over-corner" recording must be provided within the bag.
  • the corner opposite the first fold can also be folded without special internal shaping of the second pocket by driving over the first fold into the second pocket without further ado, but increasing the run-in length to form the second fold parallel to the first fold. If it is then desired to fold or fold the two remaining 90 ° corners in this quadrangular arc, then the double folded sheet in this example can leave the pocket folder and be transferred to a second pocket folder whose first pocket is a "Über -Eck "recording has.
  • the second pocket folder could be arranged offset by 90 ° to the first pocket folder, so that the sheet no longer has to be rotated. It is understood that a discharge of the folded sheets is followed by the folding.
  • the aligning device downstream Taschenfalzwerk and / or another Taschenfalzwerk could have up to twelve pockets.
  • a plurality of folds can be formed directly within a folding device and complicated shapes can arise which may be of particular interest for commercials.
  • a particularly high flexibility of the device according to the invention could be achieved if the alignment device is a separate structural unit. As a result, an aggregate is available, which - depending on requirements - with different feeders and / or folding devices can be combined.
  • the alignment device could have stops that are tuned to the skewed edges of the sheet.
  • the stops could be rotatable about axes of rotation in the direction of the aligned sheet.
  • the stops are unceremoniously swung away without being in contact with the sheet edges.
  • the axis of rotation of the stops extends transversely to the direction of the aligned sheet. If the stop is fixed below the support plane of the sheet, it is pivoted downwards. If the stop is fixed above the support plane of the sheet, it is rotated to release the path to the folding device upwards.
  • a control could be provided which coordinates the movement of the stops at the right time.
  • Fig. 1 schematically the steps of the method and the device are sketched according to the invention. It is about the production of a four-fold folded sheet 1 in this embodiment, which is first fed, aligned and finally folded.
  • the sheet 1 is brought during feeding by means of conveyor belts 7, 8 in an inclined position to the running direction A, wherein the sheet is rotated in the direction of rotation B here exactly 45 °, so that a corner of the quadrangular sheet 1 in the direction of the alignment. 2 has.
  • conveyor belts 7, 8 have different speeds in order to realize the rotation in the direction of rotation B.
  • the conveyor belt 7 runs faster than the conveyor belt 8.
  • the slanted sheet 1 is now aligned in the aligning device 2 and then transferred to a folding device 3, to produce a fold 4 always shown in phantom or a fold along this fold 4, which extends at an angle to the edges 5, 6 of the sheet 1.
  • the alignment device 2 is a separate structural unit that can be combined with different feeders and / or folding devices 3.
  • Fig. 2 is shown that the sheet 1 when entering the alignment device 2 partially remains on the conveyor belts 7, 8 and is acted upon by these with feed force.
  • the sheet 1 reaches up to the three stops 9 of the alignment device 2, at which the edges 5, 6 of the sheet 1 are aligned.
  • a vacuum is applied to the sheet 1, so that this in the 9 through the attacks generated alignment is fixed.
  • the vacuum is applied via four suction belts 10 which transfer the sheet 1 to the folding device 3 after the path has been cleared by the temporarily removable stops 9.
  • the sheet 1 is first folded once according to fold 4 angled to the edges 5, 6 folded.
  • the folding device 3 is a pocket folder whose in Fig. 1 shown first pocket 11 is tuned in the direction indicated by the dotted line shape 11A on the skewed edges 5, 6 of the sheet 1.
  • the first pocket 11 contains a quasi "over-corner" recording.
  • the local inner shape 12A is conventionally straight and this may be because here formed by the first fold 4 new edge 19 of the sheet forms the contact.
  • the now twice folded and folded sheet 1 has meanwhile a hexagonal shape and enters an exit region 13 of the folding device. 3
  • the sheet 1 After formation of the third fold 4 or folding, the sheet 1 passes into a second pocket 17 of the folding device 15.
  • the local inner shaping 17A is conventionally rectilinear.
  • There formed by the third fold 4 new edge 20 of the sheet 1 forms the contact.
  • the now fourfold folded and folded sheet 1 has an octagonal shape and enters an exit area 18.
  • the width of the Taschenfalzwerkes 15 is due to the double folding already reduced width of the sheet 1 is less than that of the folding device. 3
  • the further Taschenfalzwerk 15 is offset by 90 ° to the folding device 3 and the direction is designated there F. By this arrangement, a re-rotation of the sheet 1 is unnecessary.
  • the stops 9 are above the suction belts 10, fixed within their distances and are upwards, in the direction of rotation G, rotatable. Here is a controlled 90 ° rotation.
