Definitions

  • the invention relates to a transport device and a method for the stationary transport of consecutive book blocks according to the preamble of claim 1 or 10.
  • the essential Umstellvortician can be automated, for example, by motorized adjustment systems via a central control device. Nevertheless, a time-consuming retooling is necessary with each product change, which stands, especially for small runs in economic disproportion to the actual processing time.
  • the EP2377688 A1 designed as a transport channel transport device.
  • the transport channel with a fixed and an adjustable channel wall is divided by separately adjustable block thickness guide elements in successive conveyor segments.
  • the respective guide element becomes the following, different Block thickness adjusted.
  • the conveyor segment to be adjusted must be empty, so that at least one empty cycle is required for each adjustment.
  • the machine control is connected to an identification device for supplied book blocks.
  • the transport device for stationary transport of successive book block in a transport direction known.
  • the transport device has a transport channel with a channel bottom, a fixed channel wall and an adjustable guide rail spaced therefrom. Between the channel bottom and the adjustable guide rail, an opening is formed.
  • an at least partially extending into the transport channel and can be applied to the channel bottom filling element is arranged.
  • the filling the book block and this at least minimally pressing against the fixed channel wall filling element is designed as a brush with approximately perpendicular to the transport channel arranged bristles.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device and a method for stationary transport of book blocks in a transport channel, wherein for the successive transport of book blocks with different formats, for example, varying in thickness, no adjustment of the transport channel is required and no empty cycles are needed.
  • a transport device according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 10.
  • Advantageous embodiments of this transport device and this method are subject of the dependent claims.
  • a transport device for stationary transport of successive book block in a transport direction the object is achieved according to the invention as defined in claim 1.
  • Such a transport device allows a sequential transport of book blocks with different formats by a transport channel, for example, varying in thickness, without an adjustment of the transport channel is required and no empty cycles are needed.
  • Another advantage is a space-saving design, in which the freely rotating rollers allow a reduction in the friction between an elastic element and a book block transported past it.
  • an advantage of the embodiment with the adjustable channel wall spaced from the fixed channel wall is that the combination of an adjustable channel wall with the resilient means arranged thereon has a more flexible adjustment possibility for the book blocks to be transported with different formats.
  • the resilient means may also be disposed on the fixed channel wall or on other suitable elements of the transport channel.
  • the alternative embodiment in which the at least one resilient device is arranged on the frame of the transport device, allows a simple Construction, whereby a smaller number of required components can help to avoid sources of error during operation.
  • the resilient means is mounted outside the transport channel and arranged the adjustable channel wall penetrating. Because in this solution does not need to be intervened from the outside in the transport channel, a change or replacement of a resilient device can be done faster and without much effort from the outside.
  • the resilient means is disposed within the transport channel and secured to the adjustable channel wall.
  • the resilient device in the transport direction successively arranged, individually sprung elastic elements, which in particular each carry a freely rotating role.
  • pressure elements can easily be individually adapted, changed or even replaced if necessary.
  • the individually spring-loaded pressure elements are designed as leaf springs.
  • Such a design leads to a more cost-effective solution, in which an adaptation and / or optimization of the transport channel can be done by replacing individual leaf springs.
  • an approximately parallel to the fixed channel wall aligned and spaced therefrom stabilizing strip for the book block is arranged above the channel bottom.
  • Such a stabilizer bar can advantageously prevent a lateral slipping of the book block in the lower region of the transport channel.
  • the stabilizer bar has a surface which is aligned with the stationary channel wall and which is at an acute angle is arranged to the channel bottom. Such a design of the stabilizer bar can still prevent laterally slipping of the book block.
  • the adjustable channel wall at least one approximately parallel to the transport direction extending, gap-shaped recess for the passage of the elastic elements.
