Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for suspending a book block in a book cover according to the preamble of claim 1 and an apparatus for performing the method with the features of the preamble of claim 8.
  • the vertical conveyor sections of the circulation conveyor are used for the processing. Firstly, the previously centrally opened book blocks are kept in register in a first horizontal plane by means of a first feed conveyor, a vertical conveying section of the circulating conveyor facing this. The book blocks thus provided are penetrated by the saddle plates of the circulating conveyor from below and taken over in the first horizontal plane. In the further course, the book blocks, which are now conveyed vertically upwards, are glued on their outer sides and then penetrate a second horizontal plane of the circulating conveyor, in which the book covers fed by means of a second feed conveyor are kept ready. Finally, the book cover is also taken over with blanket holding and pressing devices, joined to the respective book block and pressed on.
  • the remaining vertical conveyor section of the circulating conveyor is used until its deflection in the downward movement.
  • the book completed in the manner described above is usually separated from the saddle plate by stationary elements and designed primarily sideways and backwards in a third horizontal plane out of the circulating conveyor.
  • the empty saddle plates are then deflected, to then take on the first vertical conveyor section again from below subsequent book blocks.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for hanging a book block in a book cover, which allow for high productivity, a compact arrangement of the processing assemblies without significant restrictions by the supply of book block and book cover.
  • the book block is first supplied in a first feed direction and with an upwardly and horizontally oriented back of a hanger and taken over by means of a upwardly and horizontally oriented back having saddle plate of a circulating conveyor of the hanger. Thereafter, the transported on the saddle plate book block is glued and fed the Ein distressmaschine in a second feed direction a book cover. The subsequent hanging of the book block in the book cover is done while maintaining the horizontal orientation of the back of the fifth wheel plate.
  • the feeding of the book block to the hanging machine is carried out according to the invention in a first feed direction, which differs from the second feed direction of the book cover, in particular in a first feed direction opposite the second feed direction.
  • the book block is transferred from a first feed device to a transfer device located in a first, upstream position, transported in a second step from the first position to a second, downstream position of the transfer device and, in a third step, through the fifth wheel plate of the transfer device Recirculating conveyor taken from the second position of the transfer device.
  • the arrangement of the transfer device with its spaced from the first position second position of the transport of the book block on the saddle plates of the circulation conveyor and thus the attachment of the book block in the book covers is advantageously decoupled from the supply of the book block.
  • book blocks and book covers can be supplied to the circulation conveyor also from different directions.
  • free space is created for the processing of book block and book cover.
  • the method allows for easy removal of book blocks as needed by the circulation conveyor are not supplied.
  • the book block is transported below the circulation conveyor in the first, upstream position of the transfer device.
  • the drive chains of the circulation conveyor run exclusively above the supply of book blocks and can thus be kept significantly shorter compared to the known solutions.
  • the book block is transported from the first, upstream position into the second, downstream Position of the transfer device raised, in particular raised vertically and aligned before lifting.
  • the open state is transported from the first, upstream position to the second, downstream position of the transfer device.
  • the fifth wheel plate is laterally and at least approximately horizontally inserted into the open book block located in the second position and assumes it with an at least approximately vertical movement. Due to the at least approximately horizontal retraction of the fifth wheel plate into the book block, there is advantageously no crossing of the supplied book block with the circulating conveyor.
  • the fifth wheel of the circulating conveyor is moved circumferentially in the manner of a paternoster. In this way, the mounting of the book blocks in the book covers can be realized with a high productivity.
  • a generic device for hanging a book block in a book cover has a circulation conveyor with at least one saddle plate on which the hanging of the book block is done in the book cover.
  • the at least one fifth wheel plate has an upwardly and horizontally oriented back and the book block can be fed to the suspension machine with a first feed device in a first feed direction with an upwardly and horizontally oriented back.
  • the book cover of the suspension machine can be supplied with a second feed device in a second feed direction.
  • the first feed direction differs from the second feed direction and is in particular oppositely oriented in the second feed direction.
  • the suspension machine has a transfer device arranged between the first supply device and the circulation conveyor.
  • the transfer device has a first upstream position for receiving the book block from the first feeder and a second, downstream position for transferring the book block to the circulating conveyor.
  • the transfer device is designed to be switchable. Due to this, the transfer device can be turned off when needed, so that no supply of book blocks to Einitatimaschine.
  • the transfer device has a laterally and upwardly open, roof-like design transfer element for receiving the book block from the first feeder and has at least one alignment element and format-dependent support elements for the book block.
  • the transfer element advantageously allows for collision-free lateral dipping of the semitank plates of the circulation conveyor.
  • the first feed device is arranged below the circulation conveyor of the suspension machine, wherein the transfer element is designed to be vertically movable.
  • the circulation conveyor is completely above the supply of book blocks, which leads to a reduction in the number of required saddle plates and the chain length with approximately the same performance and the same format specifications.
  • the reduced overall length of the circulating conveyor is associated with a corresponding cost savings of the hanger.
  • an opening device for the book blocks is arranged in, at or upstream of the first feed device.
  • the circulation conveyor is formed with a first and a second vertical conveyor section and with an upper and a lower, the first and the second vertical conveyor section in each case interconnecting conveyor section.
  • the first vertical conveyor section faces the transfer device and the second vertical conveyor section is disposed away from the transfer device.
  • Such a high-productivity circulating conveyor may be advantageously fed from different directions by combining with a transfer means disposed between the first feeder and the circulating conveyor for transporting the book block from a transfer position from the first feeder to a transfer position to the circulating conveyor.
  • additional free spaces can be created underneath the circulation conveyor and used for other purposes, such as, for example, to reduce the overall height.
  • the circulation conveyor, the first and the second feed device and the transfer device each have a separate drive, in particular a servo drive, wherein the drives are coupled together.
  • the at least one fifth wheel plate has a height which is smaller than the maximum height of the book block that can be processed by the suspension machine and, in particular, corresponds to approximately one third of this height.
  • the advantages mentioned also apply to a book line with such a device.
  • the method and the device also allow a supply of book block and book cover regardless of the production direction of the book line.
  • the figures show a suspension machine 1 according to the invention, which is provided for mounting a book block 2 in a book cover 3. It is designed as an independent workstation, but can also be integrated into a book line, which is traversed by the book block 2 in a production direction 4. In the FIG. 1 Such a bookline is hinted at only by its direction of production 4.
  • the hanger 1 stands on a foundation 5 or is anchored in such.
  • the supply of the book blocks 2 takes place, for example, from right to left, ie in a direction of production 4 corresponding first feed direction 6 and the supply of book covers 3, for example, from left to right, ie in a direction opposite to the production direction 4 extending, second feed 7.
  • first feeder 8 to the hitching machine 1.
  • first feeder 8 can also be designed as a book channel, not shown, in which the book blocks are transported standing with carriers on a web.

  • the supply of the book covers 3 by means of a second feeding device.
  • the suspension machine 1 has a circulation conveyor 10, which has around the manner of a paternoster to sprockets 11 circulating fifth wheel plates 12, which are fastened by means of a respective saddle plate support 13 to a double drive chain 14.
  • the saddle plate supports 13 are always kept in a vertical orientation by means of a timing chain 14 ', so that the saddle plates 12 fastened to the saddle plate carrier 13 are always aligned horizontally.
  • Fig. 1 For reasons of clarity, only the timing chain 14 'is shown while Fig. 2 both a chain of the double drive chain 14 and the timing chain 14 'shows.
  • the saddle plates 12 are intended to receive one book block 2 each.
  • each fifth wheel plate 12 has an upper, horizontally oriented back 15.
  • the fifth wheel plate 12 extends downwards with a height 16 which corresponds to about one third of a maximum height of the book block 2 that can be processed with the suspension machine 1.
  • the saddle plates 12 rotate clockwise, always remaining above the book block 2 conveyed by the first feeder 8.
  • the circulation conveyor 10 instead of the three saddle plates 12 shown only with a single fifth wheel or with one of three different number of saddle plates, but can be used optimally with several saddle plates available transport route and the highest possible processing speed can be achieved ,
  • a transfer device 18 is arranged, which has a first, upstream position 19 for taking over the book block 2 from the first feeder 8 and a second, downstream position 20 for transferring the book block 2 to the circulating conveyor 10, ie has at the fifth wheel plate 12.
