Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of post-press processing. It relates to a collating apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for operating a collating apparatus according to the preamble of claim 14.
  • a similar fault-tolerant collating device with multiple outputs and circular conveyor track is also from the EP 0389745 known. Also in this collator a different type of processing is not provided. Rather, if one of the multiple collapse lines is broken, this collation line is shut down while the other lines continue to operate.
  • the receiving units are conveyed on a conveyor track by means of a spatially flexible, preferably chain-like, self-contained conveyor member, that the receiving units each have clamping means which collected in the receiving units Pre-products, that is, at least one intermediate product, clamped hold, and that at several points of the conveyor transfer devices are arranged, which take over collected precursors or supplements from the receiving units for further processing and transport away. Due to the special design of the conveyor track, the receiving units and the multiple transfer devices, it is possible with the same collating device without additional effort to perform different further processing processes with the collected precursors without changeover time successively or even simultaneously.
  • the transfer units according to the invention are units which control the products or, in particular, the collected product collections in a known manner from the receiving units of the collating apparatus and transfer them to the collated stack for further processing while keeping the relative position of the products as accurately as possible.
  • These units are therefore not to be confused with a waste disposal, as it is also known from genus same systems of the type "Flystream" of the Applicant.
  • a waste disposal as it is also known from genus same systems of the type "Flystream" of the Applicant.
  • waste copies must be disposed of or sorted out by hand and manually returned to processing.
  • the waste discharge takes place in the inventive devices in the simplest case by opening the clip and gravity-driven emptying of the receiving units.
  • An embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the conveyor track comprises an upper track or run and a lower track or run, which are substantially parallel and connected at the ends by deflection areas and form a closed circuit, and that at least one collation area on upper track piece is provided and at the lower track piece and / or at the deflection areas a plurality of transfer means are arranged.
  • the gathering areas are characterized by the fact that in them precursors and / or supplements are conveyed by means of at least one feed device the receiving units.
  • a plurality of feed device are arranged in a space-saving manner on both sides of the conveyor track in each collating area.
  • the upper track piece and the lower track piece may each comprise a plurality of straight track pieces whose orientation is different, and which are interconnected by at least one curved portion.
  • Precursors according to the present invention are preferably collected successively and one above the other.
  • a further embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a plurality of collating regions are arranged one after the other at the conveying path in the direction of circulation. Since the receiving units are conveyed by means of a spatially flexible, preferably chain-like conveying member, a linear section of a conveyor track can be rotated about its longitudinal axis, so that the receiving units are linearly conveyed while passing through this section and simultaneously pivoted radially. Without a collator having an upper run and a lower strand can be in this way the receiving units from above in a gathering area equipped with precursors or supplements, then the collected product groups can be by pivoting the receiving units by 180 ° down and through again pivoting about 180 ° can be in a further collection area in turn lead from above products. The functionality of the upper and lower run is realized by pivoting in an area of the device which is substantially linearly aligned.
  • At least one transfer device can be provided between successive collation areas.
  • the conveyor track is led out between successive collation areas to form an intermediate loop, and that the associated transfer device is arranged on the intermediate loop.
  • a plurality of transfer devices are arranged in the direction of circulation directly behind one another on the conveyor track, without a collation area lying between them.
  • Another embodiment is characterized in that the conveyor track runs predominantly in a horizontal plane.
  • Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the feeders are arranged in the at least one collating area alternately on opposite sides of the conveyor track.
  • a further embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a controller is provided which controls the feeders and the transfer means in a predetermined manner so that the desired combinations of products are available at the transfer means.
  • Each of the recording units can be equipped in a known manner in the gathering area with a collection of precursors and / or supplements. It can be here with everyone Receiving unit to act an identical collection or different receiving units are supplied by various feeders with products, so that they transport different collections. Depending on the production plan and on the capacity of the subsequent processing devices, directly successive pick-up units can be equipped with different product collections, or groups of a few to several dozen pick-up units are supplied in batch mode with a specific product collection and a subsequent group receives a different set of products from other feeders. Because the devices according to the invention comprise at least two transfer devices, it is possible to assign the product collection from each receiving unit to a very specific transfer device and thus to supply it to a specific further processing.
  • identical product collections can be fed via a first transfer device to further processing, in which they are plugged into a main product, and via a second transfer device, they can be subjected to further processing in which they are welded into film.
  • the separation of the product streams can optionally take place simultaneously or sequentially for individual recording units or groups of recording units.
  • a first type of collection can be fed to a specific further processing via a first transfer device and a second collection can be supplied to a further processing via a second transfer device.
  • This can in turn be done in succession, that is to say first the first type of collection is collected and further processed, and then the second type of collection is collected and processed further.
  • it is now also possible to collect both types at the same time and the intended further processing supply. If the systems required for simultaneous further processing are not available or do not have sufficient capacity, a particular collection from a transfer device may also be delivered to a storage device, such as known from the prior art in the form of large packages or discs be fed at a later time of further processing.
  • the devices according to the invention all make it possible to return incomplete collections and to complete them. This is made possible by a product tracking over the entire device.
  • the controller records the type and number of products that are collected in each unit. Since the position of each receiving unit is known at all times, not only incomplete product collections can be repaired with the missing precursor or products, but also product collections from certain receiving units can also be selectively directed to specific transfer devices.

Each transfer device is then assigned to a certain further processing process and the collected precursors are then discharged at this departure, if this type of further processing is to be made. If the type of processing changes, a different exit is used accordingly. In this way maximum flexibility in further processing can be achieved with a minimum of mechanical effort.
  • FIG. 4 is shown in a highly simplified representation of a first embodiment of a collating device according to the invention.
  • the collator 40 of the FIG. 4 in its configuration corresponds largely to the collating device 10 FIG. 2 with the difference that in addition to the transfer device 34, a further transfer device 35 on the conveyor track 11, 12, 22, 23 is arranged. Via a common control 36, the two transfer devices 34, 35 can be controlled individually. Similarly, the feeders 33 can be individually controlled in the collation area 32. If certain assemblies of precursors P are to be discharged at the transfer device 35 and fed to the type of further processing assigned to this transfer device, corresponding delivery devices 33 in the collating region 32 are activated, which convey the precursors provided for this purpose.
  • the two transfer devices 34 and 35 need not necessarily be disposed at opposite ends of the conveyor track 11, 12, 22, 23, as shown in FIG. 4 is shown.

  • each of the transfer devices 34, 35 may be in the FIG. 2 have shown embodiment. However, it is also conceivable to use other types of transfer devices that remove collections of precursors from the receiving units 13 and can perform further processing. In particular, it is not absolutely necessary that the stacks of precursors in the region of a lower track piece 12, or in areas in which the receiving units are directed downwards, must be removed. Thus, it is conceivable to open the clamping means of the receiving units 13 on the upper track piece 11, respectively on a portion of the conveyor track on which the receiving units are directed upward, and then take out by means of a gripping device the stack formed controlled.
