Definitions

  • the invention provides a folding machine according to claim 1.
  • Pocket folding machines and Schwertfalzmaschinen are known from the prior art.
  • the combination of pocket folding machines with Schwertfalzmaschinen is common as Kombifalzmaschine.
  • parallel folds are folded in pocket folders and cross breaks in the subsequent knife folders.
  • the sheet passes through at least the following stations in the feed-through direction of the combination folding machine: feeder, transfer table, pocket folder, knife folder, delivery arm.
  • a respective pocket folder consists of a folding pocket and three folding rollers, which are arranged in two pairs of folding rollers.
  • From the DE 29 40 360 A1 is a single sword folding machine for folding of printed and pre-folded sheet known.
  • Combination folding machines combine pocket folders and knife folders. Here are folded in a first folding station in Taschenfalztechniken parallel breaks and in a subsequent folding station in Schwertfalztechniken cross breaks.
  • the DE 31 47 064 A1 and the DE 10 2006 055 301 A1 show Kombifalzmaschinen with a plurality of Taschenfalzwerken and nachranging arranged Schwertfalzwerken.
  • a disadvantage of such Schwertfalzmaschinen is that even if only one Schwertfalzstation is used, the subsequent Schwertfalzstation must be traversed without performing any processing before the generated signatures designed or downstream processing units (such as thread sealing machine) can be supplied.
  • Another disadvantage is that the direction in which the signatures are designed or passed on is determined by the machine configuration.
  • signatures which have only undergone a cross-rupture by passing unprocessed under the second fold-blade can only be designed to the left. This can lead to problems if, due to restrictions on the available space in a bookbindery, no display or finishing unit can be positioned at this location.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a folding machine, which at least overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art, and allows improved delivery and improved onward transport.
  • the folding machine is used to generate signatures by folding from sheet-like elements made of paper, cardboard or the like with at least two Schwertfalzstationen and at least one receiving device for a folding pocket.
  • the receiving device for a folding pocket can also be referred to as Falztaschenfact.
  • a respective folding pocket can be inserted in a respective receiving device in a receiving plane and simply pulled out of it.
  • the folding machine has a transport device for laying out signatures, wherein the transport device is held by the receiving device.
  • the transport device is held by the at least one receiving device, that the transport direction of the signatures to be interpreted in the transport device is substantially parallel to the receiving plane of the receiving device.
  • the transport device can be easily inserted into the Falztaschentreatment and pulled back out of it, so as to allow easy exchange between folding pocket and transport device. Due to the arrangement of the transport device instead of the folding pocket, it is advantageously possible to lay out the signatures or pass on the signatures at the position of the folding pocket receptacle. This ensures that Stereostegende signatures need not be transported by subsequent Schwertfalzwerke. The interpretation or sharing of the signatures can be significantly improved.
  • the receiving device for holding the transport device between two Schwertfalzstationen is arranged. This makes it possible either to use a conventional folding pocket at the position in order to be able to make a fold, or to insert the transport device in order to enable signatures to be displayed.
  • the transport device has in its inlet region a - in particular switchable - curved switch to determine whether the interpretations to be interpreted should pass through the transport device or not.
  • arc switches are known in the art.
  • the transport device has an upper and a lower guide surface for guiding the signatures to be interpreted between the guide surfaces, wherein the guide surfaces extend in particular substantially parallel to the receiving plane of the receiving device.
  • the signatures transported by the transport device are thus given a defined transport path.
  • the transport device of the folding machine according to the invention has at least one transport element for transporting the signatures to be interpreted, wherein the signatures to be interpreted by the transport element experience a force in the transport direction.
  • the at least one transport element causes the signatures to be driven through the transport device.
  • the speed in the transport direction can correspond at least to the transport speed in the upstream stations of the folding machine.
  • the transport element can be designed either as a driven conveyor belt, as a driven transport roller or as a blown air element.
  • the blast air element may have a nozzle bar with a plurality of Blas Kunststoffdüsen, wherein an air flow is generated, which is aligned substantially parallel to the guide surfaces.
  • a nozzle bar with a plurality of Blas Kunststoffdüsen, wherein an air flow is generated, which is aligned substantially parallel to the guide surfaces.
  • blowing air nozzles can also be designed as Venturi nozzles, which allows a particularly secure transport of the signatures.
  • another folding station is arranged upstream or downstream of the folding stations described above. This can have pocket folders or Schwertfalzwerke.
  • the folding pocket 3 By the folding pocket 3 is pulled out of the receiving device 6, the folding pocket 3 can be easily removed. In its place, then, as in the FIGS. 3a and 3b shown, instead a transport device 5 are inserted.
  • Fig. 3a shows that already on the basis of FIG. 2 described section of a folding machine 10, namely a first Schwertfalzstation (1st Crossbreak 1) and a second Schwertfalzstation (2nd Crossbreak 4).
  • a receiving device 6 Between the Schwertfalzstationen 1, 4 is a receiving device 6, in which a transport device 5 has been inserted.
  • the transport device 5 has an upper frame 5.1 and a lower frame 5.2. These are substantially parallel to the receiving plane, which is formed by the receiving device 6.
  • transport device 5 has a nozzle bar 5.4 with nozzle chamber, which provides an air flow 5.5 via its Blas Kunststoffdüsen.
  • a located in position 5.3 sheet diverter is switched so that the folded sheet B1 run into the transport device 5.
  • Its transport direction T is predetermined by the upper frame and the lower frame 5.1, 5.2, which act as guide surfaces.
  • the transport of the bows is supported by the blast air 5.5, which is provided by the nozzle bar 5.4.
  • the sheets Br can be designed as shown to the right or transported on.
  • FIG. 3b An alternative embodiment of the transport device 5 is based on the FIG. 3b described.
  • the transport device 5 shown here has no nozzle bar 5.4, but instead a transport unit 5.6 with conveyor belt and friction drive.
  • the friction wheel drive causes the conveyor belt of the transport unit 5.6 is driven by the conveyor belt 4.3 of the second cross-rupture 4.
  • the friction wheel is pressed by a spring force to the conveyor belt 4.3.
  • the conveyor belt of the transport unit 5.6 and the conveyor belt 4.3 of the second cross-break 4 thus move at approximately the same speed. This ensures that the sheets Br are safely transported further by the transport device 5 and a material jam can be avoided.
  • pinch rollers 5.7 may be provided which press the sheet Br on the conveyor belt.
  • the transport device 5 has driven transport rollers.
  • the in FIG. 3b illustrated pinch rollers act to 5.7 driven transport rollers, which propel the sheet Br.
  • blown air nozzle - as at hand of Fig. 3a described - are advantageously arranged a plurality of Venturi nozzles along the leading edge of the transport device 5, so that the air cushion acts uniformly over the sheet width.
  • FIG. 4 shown by way of example.
  • the nozzle bar 5.4 consists of a plurality of nozzle bodies 5.9, which are structurally arranged side by side and have a common Blas Kunststoffzu für 5.13, is blown through the air.
  • a semi-circular nozzle chamber 5.10 is arranged in the nozzle body 5.9 arranged.
  • the semicircular nozzle chamber 5.10 tapers in its height towards the outlet opening 5.11.
  • a connection with the Blas Kunststoffzu für 5.13 is provided in the bottom of the nozzle chamber 5.10 .
  • the cover of the nozzle chamber 5.10 forms a separate plate 5.12, with suitable fasteners, eg. As adhesive, is attached to the nozzle body 5.9.
  • the separate plate 5.12 also forms part of the outlet opening 5.11, through which an airflow 5. 5 exits.
