Definitions

  • the grippers also take over the function of the above-mentioned scraper.
  • the printed products held by the grippers are removed from the bucket wheel compartments due to the relative movement of the gripper and bucket wheel compartment. Since the grippers accompany the compartments or compartment floors along with them, the movement and forwarding of the products takes place at the point of takeover in the direction of rotation of the impeller.
  • the object is achieved by a method having the features of claim 1 and a device for carrying out the method with the features of claim 11.
  • Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims, the description and the drawings.
  • the inventive method and the inventive device for conveying flat products, especially printed products assume that the products are introduced at a transfer point in a conventional manner with its leading edge ahead in compartments of a circulation system, which are moved along a closed orbit. It is a paddle wheel as in the above-mentioned prior art.
  • the products are preferably fed in a feed direction which corresponds to the orientation of the compartments as they pass the transfer point.
  • the transfer point is preferably located in an upper region of the
  • Fig. 2 shows the device of Fig. 1 in processing products of a smaller second format
  • Fig. 4 shows the promotion of folded products by the gripper conveyor and their further processing in a plug-in or cutting device.
  • the compartments 22 open in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the impeller 20 in the clockwise direction
  • the lower half of the paddle wheel 20 is a non-rotating, horizontally displaceable wiper 28 with a bent in the upper region, in the further course approximately vertically oriented guide surface 29.
  • the stripping device 28 by means of a suitable drive 28 'in the horizontal direction.
  • the Zuforderer 40 is here a belt conveyor, on the conveyor belt, the products 12 rest individually. A Zu concernn of small stacks or a scaly formation is also possible.
  • the front portion 42 of the feed conveyor 40 projects into the
  • the gripper 32 has to controls 36, 37 in the form of control rollers, which cooperate with the aforementioned scenes for the purpose of closing, opening and / or pivoting of the gripper 32.
  • the area in which the grippers 32 are closed is also referred to as takeover point B.
  • the transfer point B is located laterally of the paddle wheel 20 approximately at the position "3 o'clock". It is located in the vertical direction below the transfer point A.
  • the products 12 are pulled out of the compartments by the gripper conveyor 30 and further requested.
  • a spatially very dense formation can be produced from individual products 12 suspended from one another suspended from one another.
  • the trailing edge 16 is in the conveying direction of the gripper conveyor 30 in front of the leading edge 14.
  • the roles of leading and trailing edge 14, 16 are therefore reversed compared to the original formation.
  • the products 12 can also, as shown schematically here, be supported on the drooping (original) leading edge 14 by a support surface 50.
  • the support surface 50 may also be the conveyor belt of a further belt conveyor on which the products can subsequently also be completely deposited. In this way, a repositioning of the products (leading edge becomes the trailing edge and vice versa) can be realized in a gentle manner. This is shown by way of example in FIG. 3.
  • the control means 70 serves to synchronize the movement of feed conveyor 40, circulation system 20 and gripper requestor 30. Optionally, it receives from a monitoring device 72 a signal which serves to adapt the movements of these components in the manner generally described. In this way, irregularities can be compensated or defective products can be eliminated.
