Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of production and further processing of printed products such as e.g. Newspapers. It relates to a method for decoupling of successive product streams according to the preamble of patent claim 1 and an apparatus for carrying out such a method according to the preamble of patent claim 17
  • the usually coming in the form of a scale flow from the press sheet are taken and fed to a further processing in which they compiled by means of various processing stations, for example, to a newspaper, cropped, stapled, provided with inserts or other additional elements, processed into stacks and made ready for shipment. If the printed products of further processing are fed directly from the current rotation, this is called an online feed. If further processing is not available during the operation of the rotation, the printed products from the rotation must be stored before further processing. For this purpose, manufacturers use, for example, large wraps, so-called “discs”, longitudinal stacks in the form of "bars" or stacked packages on pallets. The products are fed at a later time in the so-called “offline operation" of further processing in a known manner.
  • the EP 0 189 896 shows the merging of two streams of flaky austruder products. On a section, the individual products of the product streams and / or the combined product stream are pulled apart. In this way, after merging the product streams, the number of processing stages or downstream modules can be virtually halved, since not ever a separate processing plant is required. A flexible adaptation to printed products in different forms is not possible.
  • the US 5,913,656 Figure 2 shows two scale-like streams of products originating from a two-dispenser printing machine or from independent sources, which are stacked independently in separate stacking containers.
  • the two stacks are periodically combined and unloaded into a collecting container of a further conveyor.
  • the number of products in at least one stack container is monitored and the scale-like streams are temporarily stopped depending on the design of a predetermined stack size or number of products.
  • the scale-like flows are restarted.
  • the conveyor creates a scale-like stream from the combined stacks. A flexible adaptation to printed products in different forms is not possible.
  • a flexible operation should be possible to the effect that at the interface between the two product streams in other ways, for example by hand, products can be introduced into the product stream.
  • the object is achieved by a method according to claim 1 and a device according to claim 19.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that the printed products introduced in a first product stream in the form of an imbricated stream are combined with further printed products which do not originate from the first product stream to form a second product stream having a decoupled speed from the first product stream (products / Time) is fed to the print finishing.
  • the other products are inserted into the existing distances between the products in the shingled stream of the first product stream. This is preferably done by means of a segment accelerator, Beissrollen, a cam belt or other means for isolated acceleration of individual other printed products.
  • the other products are inserted according to further preferred embodiments in specially generated gaps in the scale flow, these gaps i) are generated by the targeted changing the position of the products in the scale flow of the first product stream or ii) by the prior generation of a scale flow with gaps.
  • the supply of the further printed products depending on the gap size and / or the desired product speed and scale formation, can take place individually, in a scale formation or in a package form one above the other.
  • the printed products introduced in the first product stream with the further printed products become an intermediate product stream united.
  • This intermediate product stream is buffered simultaneously for continuous buffering in a substantially quiescent state and in a compacted configuration, and fed to post-processing after the variable predictable velocity buffer in the second product stream, which may have targeted gaps. Due to the compacted buffering in quiescent static state, only little space is required for buffering. At the same time can be dispensed with mechanically complex additional conveyor lines with variable conveyor length.
  • the strongly localized and quasi-static buffering according to a further embodiment of the present invention makes it possible to introduce additional products from other sources into the first and / or the intermediate product stream in a simple and flexible manner. As will be described in more detail below, a combination of online operation with a metered offline supply for optimal utilization of the capacity or performance of the processing plant is possible.
  • a preferred embodiment of the inventive method is characterized in that for intermediate storage from the printed products of the intermediate product stream a, preferably vertical, stack of the printed products is formed, and that the printed products are removed from the stack and decoupled in the second product stream from the first and from the intermediate product stream Be fed to print finishing.
  • a vertical stack the concept of the quasi-static buffer can be clearly explained.
  • the products in the stack are conveyed through the stack by the continuous top feed and the bottom side removal from top to bottom, compared to the prior art devices described above, the cached products appear to rest in the stack since the actual traversed Conveyor in the stack is very low.
  • the printed products are stored on the top of the stack for intermediate storage, and the printed products are removed from the bottom of the stack and fed to the print finishing.
  • the printed products are removed individually or in pairs from the stack.
  • Another embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that gaps in the first and / or in the intermediate and / or in the second product flow are closed, or that the distances between the products in the shingled streams are reduced by shingling.
  • the intermediate storage is preferably scaled up before and / or the distance of the printed products (25) from the intermediate storage is reduced in the first product stream or in the intermediate product stream. By shaking or reducing the distance of the quasi-static buffer can be relieved.
  • the scaly product stream represents an independent intermediate storage
  • a further embodiment of the method according to the invention is characterized in that in the first and / or in the intermediate product flow the distance of the printed products from one another before the intermediate storage is reduced.
  • the compression of the first product flow is made only after any gaps have already been closed.
  • different streams of printed products are alternately introduced as the first product stream. This makes it possible to use the inventive method with a single device for different first product streams from different sources.
  • the second product stream can be carried at a higher speed and / or greater dynamics than the first product stream, it is advantageous for caching to be regulated.
  • the withdrawal i. for example, the decrease of the products from the bottom of the stack, correspondingly accelerated for the second product flow. If the quantity of cached products reaches a predetermined lower limit, the withdrawal from the second product flow is correspondingly slowed down.
  • a setpoint range for the height of the stack is set to regulate the intermediate storage, and it becomes Speed at which the printed products are removed from the stack and fed to the print finishing, so regulated that the actual height of the stack remains within the specified range.
  • the intermediate storage is controlled continuously, for example, by appropriate light barriers or with light sensors in the stack area.
  • the actual height of the stack can also be measured directly, or the height is determined indirectly, in which, for example, the difference between supplied and removed printed products is determined.
  • the intermediate storage according to the invention in the form of a stack also allows the intermediary product flow of the printed products flowing for intermediate storage to be interrupted in the meantime, and that the stack can be opened manually or automatically another source is filled. This results in a particularly flexible mode in which, for example, longer lasting interruptions in the first product stream can be compensated for by manual filling or temporarily other printed products can be introduced into the product stream.
  • the first and / or the intermediate product stream can accumulate.
  • the device according to the invention for carrying out the method in turn comprises means for quasi-static and compressed buffering of printed products transported in a first or intermediate product stream, and at least one transport device for feeding the printed products of the first or intermediate product stream to the intermediate storage means, a device for Purging the cached printed products and a feeding device for feeding the printed products in a second product stream from the print-out type print-out device.
