Definitions

  • the invention relates to a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the folded sheets covered by the carriers are transported through the front and rear gathering chains to a stitching station in which stacked folded sheets are stapled in the fold by means of a support bracket.
  • a stitching station in which stacked folded sheets are stapled in the fold by means of a support bracket.
  • stapling heads arranged above the gathering chains and clincher boxes arranged between the collecting chains instead of the guide strip, which bend over the free ends of the wire staples pierced by the stapling heads through the folded sheets.
  • the stapled folded sheets of the collecting chains for further processing, for example, edge trimming and delivery forwarded.
  • the operator-side collecting chain Since the continuous front and rear collecting chains are arranged in front of or behind the clincher boxes in the region of the stitching station, the operator-side collecting chain must be lifted out of its guides for the purpose of adjusting or exchanging the clincher boxes and stitching heads. On the one hand, this is laborious, on the other hand, this leads to repeated elongation to a different elongation of the front and rear gathering chain, so that a more uniform transport of the signatures no longer is guaranteed. Also, a thickness control of the gathered signatures before the stitching station for small folded sheet formats that do not or only slightly beyond the members of the gathering chain, take place only directly in the fold. Due to the inherent tension of the folded sheets, a large contact pressure is required for this, so that, especially with freshly printed sheets, markings and thus quality defects can occur.
  • a saddle stitcher is known in which the gathering chains are designed as a main collection chain or secondary collection chain and in the area of the stitching station only the main collection chain extends along the transport and stitching line.
  • the stitching station and any subsequent delivery from one side for assembly and adjustment is easily accessible.
  • a leg of the gathered folded sheet is not on a moving collecting chain, so that this free leg, for example, for measurements, is easily accessible.
  • the rear gathering chain is designed as a main collection chain.
  • the stitching station is thus accessible to an operator from the front.
  • the assembly and adjustment work on the stitching station can thus be carried out from the operator side of the saddle stitcher.
  • the secondary collection chain is deflected after leaving the area of the folded sheet feeder from the transport and stitching line down.
  • the chain links of the secondary bus chain are guided in the front area over a Sammelkettenrad.
  • the accumulation sprocket is driven by a timing belt pulley via a toothed belt.
  • the toothed belt wheel is seated together with another toothed belt wheel on a shaft which is driven by a toothed belt by an angle gear from a king shaft via an electric motor.
  • the drive of the continuous rear collecting chain also takes place via the king shaft or an electric motor.
  • the known drive is expensive and expensive.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the drive of the individual chains.
  • a saddle stitcher is provided according to the preamble of claim 1, wherein the main collection chain is driven by a motor and the Drive for the secondary collection chain via a front and rear sprocket.
  • the two sprockets are connected.
  • the front sprocket engages the sub-collection chain and the rear sprocket engages the upper run of the rear main collection chain running toward the stitching station.
  • the rear sprocket on a rack and pinion.
  • the sprockets are mounted on a common shaft and have the same number of teeth.
  • the sprockets in the pitch diameter are the same size and the torque can be transferred 1: 1.
  • the returning lower run of the main collection chain is deflected downwards. This has the advantage that the sprocket does not additionally engage in the region of the returning lower run of the main collection chain.
  • the chain roofs are equipped with inwardly running bevels. This embodiment has the advantage that despite the deflection of the returning run of the lower main collection chain, the main collection chain, which is completely equipped with chain roofs, can pass through this area without collision.
  • the front sprocket has curved slots.
  • the driving sprocket can be partially adjusted to the rear sprocket off until the drivers of the two chains are at the same height.
  • the sprockets are connected to each other via a front and a rear intermediate gear. This embodiment has the advantage that the negative curvature region of the returning run of the main collection chain can be avoided because the two sprockets have different effective diameters. The resulting speed difference is compensated via the intermediate gear.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrated saddle stitcher 1 has three folded sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14, each depositing a folded sheet 16, 18 and 20 on the collecting chains, not shown.
  • the signatures 16, 18 and 20 are conveyed in the direction of the arrow P along a transport and stitching line 22 which extends along the folded sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14 and through the stitching station 24, so that in each case three signatures 16, 18 and 20 are collected become.
  • the stitching station 24 has one or more stitching heads 26 and clincher boxes 28 associated therewith. In the stitching station 24 are of the Stapling heads 26 wire staples 27 stung from above through the folded folded sheets 30 and bent from the clincher boxes 28. From the stitching station 24, the stapled folded sheets 32 are transferred to a transfer station 29 and from there in the direction of the arrow T for further processing z. B. in a trimmer (trimmer) promoted.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a portion of the rear main collection chain 50 of a saddle stitcher according to the invention in a first embodiment.
  • the main collector chain 50 is driven by a motor, not shown.
  • the torque for the front sub-collection chain 40 is removed from the upper run 56 of the rear main collection chain 50 running in the direction of the stapling machine.
  • a sprocket 52 engages with rack and pinion in the chain 50 a.
  • the absolute synchronism of the collecting chains is realized by the same number of teeth of the tapping 52 and the secondary collecting chain 40 driving sprocket 42.
  • the two sprockets 52 and 42 are mounted on a common shaft 46 without intermediate links. As a result, the torque is transmitted 1: 1. Due to the same number of teeth both sprockets 42, 52 are the same size in pitch circle diameter. Therefore, the off-setting sprocket 52 collides in the lower area with the installation space of the returning lower run 54 of the main collecting chain. An additional engagement of the sprocket 52 in the lower area in the returning lower run 54 of the main collection chain is considered technically not useful chain. Thus, the returning collector chain must avoid the space in the area of the driving sprocket. This is advantageously done by the returning lower run 54 of the main collection chain is deflected in this area by the chain web guide 58 down.
  • the collecting chain is slightly curved in the opposite direction to the curvatures in the turning area. This negative curvature leads to space collisions in the upper regions of the attached chain roofs 60. For this reason, the chain roofs are provided in this area with inwardly running slopes 62. In this embodiment, the collecting chain, which is completely equipped with chain roofs, can pass through this guide area without collision.
  • This area of downwardly deflected returning lower run 54 of the main collection chain and the chain roofs 60 with the in the upper part inwardly running bevels 62 are also detailed again in FIG. 3 shown. It can be seen clearly the tapping sprocket 52 with the rack and pinion gear which engages in the upper run 56 of the rear main collecting chain 50 and the course of the returning lower run 54 of the rear main collecting chain in the negative curvature region 55th
  • FIG. 4 shows the drive of the front sub-collection chain 40.
  • the sub-collection chain 40 is driven directly via the sprocket 42. Since the driving 42 and abcludede sprocket 52 have the same effective diameter, there is always a synchronization of both chains in each phase of movement (acceleration, braking, straight-ahead).
  • the driving sprocket 42 of the sub-collecting chain 40 is expediently provided with curved slots 44. Thereby, the driving sprocket 42 can be partially adjusted to the rear-sprocket sprocket 52 until the drivers of the two chains are at the same height.
  • FIG. 5 the drive of the sprocket 42 for the sub-collection chain 40 and the FIG. 6
  • the two sprockets are not disposed directly on a common shaft, but connected to one another via a front 70 and rear intermediate gear 76.
  • no deflection of the returning chain is necessary.
  • the resulting speed difference must be compensated by the intermediate gear 70, 76.
  • both intermediate gear as a chain gear 70, 76 executed.
  • Both chain gears 70, 76 are mechanically connected to each other via an intermediate shaft 72.
  • this intermediate shaft 72 of the installation space caused side change of the drive train executed.
  • the course of the drive train is with the arrow line 80 in FIG. 7 shown schematically.
