Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Falzmaschine mit mindestens einem Falzwerk, in dem eine Vielzahl von Falzwalzen gelagert sind, und mit einem dem Falzwerk nachgeordneten Zusatzaggregat, in dem mindestens ein Messerwalzenpaar angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a folding machine with at least one folding unit, in which a plurality of folding rollers are mounted, and with a folding unit downstream auxiliary unit in which at least one pair of knife rollers is arranged.

Aus der EP 1 156 004 B1 ist es bereits bekannt, ein Falzwerk, das bereits mindestens ein Messerwalzenpaar aufweist, am Auslauf mit zusätzlichen Bearbeitungsstationen, beispielsweise Ausführwalzen, zu bestücken. Die zusätzlichen Bearbeitungsstationen sind dabei nach oben vom Falzwerk weg verschwenkbar, um einen einfachen Zugang zu den Messerwalzen des Falzwerks zu erhalten.From the EP 1 156 004 B1 It is already known, a folding unit, which already has at least one pair of knife rollers, at the outlet with additional processing stations, such as feed rollers to equip. The additional processing stations are pivoted upwards away from the folding unit in order to obtain easy access to the knife rollers of the folding unit.

Zwar lassen sich bei dieser bekannten Falzmaschine die zusätzlichen Bearbeitungsstationen leicht austauschen bzw. an die jeweilige Falzaufgabe anpassen. Die Messerwalzen des Falzwerks sind jedoch nur erschwert zugänglich. Das nach oben geschwenkte Aggregat muss in dieser Position arretiert werden. Die Messerwalzen sind anschließend nur unterhalb der zusätzlichen Bearbeitungsstationen zugänglich, was umständlich ist. Außerdem ist die Sicht auf die Messerwalzen durch die Bearbeitungsstationen auch bei nach oben geschwenkten Bearbeitungsstationen eingeschränkt.Although the additional processing stations can be easily exchanged or adapted to the respective folding task in this known folding machine. However, the knife rollers of the folding unit are difficult to access. The swung-up unit must be locked in this position. The knife rollers are then accessible only below the additional processing stations, which is cumbersome. In addition, the view of the knife rollers is limited by the processing stations even with upwardly pivoted processing stations.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Messerwalzen einer Falzmaschine einfach zugänglich und leicht austauschbar zu machen.The present invention has for its object to make knife rollers of a folding machine easily accessible and easily replaceable.

Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Falzmaschine mit mindestens einem Falzwerk, in dem eine Vielzahl von Falzwalzen gelagert sind, und mit einem dem Falzwerk nachgeordneten Zusatzaggregat, in dem mindestens ein Messerwalzenpaar angeordnet ist, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass im Falzwerk keine Messerwalzen angeordnet sind und dass das Zusatzaggregat um eine horizontale Achse schwenkbar angeordnet ist, wobei die horizontale Achse unterhalb und stromabwärts zu einem Auslaufbereich des Falzwerks angeordnet ist.The object is achieved by a folding machine with at least one folding unit in which a plurality of folding rollers are mounted, and with a folding unit downstream additional unit in which at least one pair of knife rollers is arranged, which is characterized in that no knife rollers are arranged in the folding unit and in that the auxiliary unit is pivotably arranged about a horizontal axis, the horizontal axis being arranged below and downstream of a discharge area of the folding unit.

Sämtliche Messerwalzen sind bei der erfindungsgemäßen Falzmaschine im Zusatzaggregat zum Falzwerk angeordnet. Zum Austausch der Messerwalzen ist daher kein Zugang zum Falzwerk selbst, sondern nur zum Zusatzaggregat nötig. Das Verschwenken des Zusatzaggregats um eine unten liegende horizontale Achse ist aufgrund der Möglichkeit, die Schwerkraft zum Verschwenken auszunutzen, vorteilhafter als ein Verschwenken um eine oben liegende Achse.All knife rollers are arranged in the folding machine according to the invention in the additional unit to the folding unit. To replace the knife rollers therefore no access to the folding unit itself, but only to the additional unit is needed. The pivoting of the auxiliary unit to a horizontal horizontal axis below is due to the ability to exploit the gravity for pivoting, more advantageous than pivoting about an overhead axis.

Dabei kann das Zusatzaggregat zwischen einer Ruheposition und einer Arbeitsposition verschwenkt werden. In der Arbeitsposition sind die Messerwalzen des Zusatzaggregats aktiv., d.h. das Zusatzaggregat befindet sich in einer zumindest annähernd vertikalen Position. In der Ruheposition, die annähernd horizontal ist, wenn das Zusatzaggregat um etwa 90° geschwenkt werden kann, sind die Messerwalzen von oben leicht zugänglich und können somit leicht repariert oder ausgetauscht werden, sofern sie austauschbar im Zusatzaggregat angeordnet sind. Das Zusatzaggregat muss außerdem in der Ruheposition nicht arretiert werden.In this case, the additional unit can be pivoted between a rest position and a working position. In the working position, the knife rollers of the auxiliary unit are active, ie the auxiliary unit is in an at least approximately vertical position. In the rest position, which is approximately horizontal, when the auxiliary unit can be pivoted by about 90 °, the knife rollers are easily accessible from above and can thus be easily repaired or replaced, provided that they are interchangeably arranged in the auxiliary unit. The accessory must also not be locked in the rest position.

Weitere entscheidende Vorteile ergeben sich, wenn der Antrieb der Messerwalzen durch das Falzwerk erfolgt. Es kann dann auf einen separaten Antrieb für die Messerwalzen bzw. das Zusatzaggregat verzichtet werden.Other decisive advantages arise when the drive of the knife rollers is done by the folding unit. It can then be dispensed with a separate drive for the knife rollers or the auxiliary unit.

Dabei kann vorzugsweise automatisch durch das Verschwenken des Zusatzaggregats eine antriebsmäßige Kopplung der Messerwalzen mit dem Falzwerk erfolgen. Eine Möglichkeit, dies zu verwirklichen, besteht darin, dass eine der Falzwalzen oder eine Antriebswalze für die Falzwalzen mit einem Zahnrad versehen ist, das mit einem mit den Messerwalzen antriebsmäßig gekoppelten Zahnrad kämmt, wenn sich das Zusatzaggregat in Arbeitsposition befindet. Hierdurch erfolgt eine direkte und automatische Kopplung des Messerwalzenantriebs mit dem Falzwalzenantrieb ohne weitere Kopplungsmaßnahmen.In this case, preferably by the pivoting of the auxiliary unit, a drive-driven coupling of the knife rollers can be done automatically with the folding unit automatically. One way to achieve this is that one of the folding rollers or a drive roller for the folding rollers is provided with a toothed wheel which meshes with a drivingly coupled with the cutter wheels gear when the auxiliary unit is in working position. This results in a direct and automatic coupling of the knife roller drive with the Falzwalzenantrieb without further coupling measures.

Die Messerwalzen können durch einen Riemenantrieb untereinander verbunden sein, sodass sie gemeinsam und synchron angetrieben werden können. Vorzugsweise kann das Zusatzaggregat zwei Messerwalzenpaare aufweisen. Es können jedoch auch - abhängig von der gewünschten Bearbeitung der Falzprodukte - nur ein Paar oder mehrere Paare vorgesehen werden.The knife rollers can be interconnected by a belt drive, so that they can be driven together and synchronously. Preferably, the additional unit may have two pairs of knife rollers. However, depending on the desired processing of the folded products, only one or more pairs may be provided.

Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, wenn das Zusatzaggregat im eingeschwenkten Zustand in Aussparungen in einem Rahmen des Falzwerks hineinragt. Das Zusatzaggregat verbreitert dadurch den Aufbau der Falzmaschine nicht. Die Messerwalzen können die gleiche Länge wie die Falzwalzen aufweisen und von diesen angetrieben werden.Further, it is advantageous if the additional unit protrudes in the pivoted state in recesses in a frame of the folding unit. The additional unit does not broaden the structure of the folding machine. The knife rollers can have the same length as the folding rollers and be driven by these.

Der Aufbau des Falzwerks ist für die Erfindung unerheblich. Vorzugsweise kann es jedoch ein Taschenfalzwerk sein. Neben den Falzwalzen können im Falzwerk auch Transportwalzen angeordnet sein. Auch im Zusatzaggregat können neben Messerwalzen Transportwalzen vorgesehen werden.The structure of the folding unit is irrelevant to the invention. Preferably, however, it may be a pocket folder. In addition to the folding rollers and transport rollers can be arranged in the folding unit. Also in the additional unit transport rollers can be provided in addition to knife rollers.

Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Falzmaschine mit Bezug auf die Zeichnung näher beschrieben.Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of a folding machine according to the invention with reference to the drawings will be described in more detail.

Fig. 1 zeigt ein Falzwerk 10 mit einer Vielzahl von Falzwalzen 11, die mit ihren Enden in einem Rahmen 12 gelagert sind. Am Rahmen 12 ist außerdem ein Zusatzaggregat 13 angeordnet. Dieses Zusatzaggregat 13 ist um eine horizontale Achse 14 schwenkbar, wie insbesondere Fig. 3 verdeutlicht. Die Achse 14 ist dabei unterhalb und stromabwärts mit Bezug auf die letzten Falzwalzen 11 und damit den Auslaufbereich des Falzwerks 10 angeordnet. Im Zusatzaggregat sind zwei Messerwalzenpaare 15, 16 und 17, 18 gelagert. Das Zusatzaggregat ist in Fig. 1 nach unten verschwenkt, d. h. inaktiv. In dieser - horizontalen - Stellung des Zusatzaggregats 13 sind die Messerwalzen 15 bis 18 von oben gut zugänglich und können einfach repariert oder ausgetauscht werden. Auch der Auslauf des Falzwerks 10 ist frei zugänglich und gut einsehbar. Fig. 1 shows a folding unit 10 with a plurality of folding rollers 11, which are mounted with their ends in a frame 12. On the frame 12, an additional unit 13 is also arranged. This additional unit 13 is pivotable about a horizontal axis 14, in particular Fig. 3 clarified. The axis 14 is arranged below and downstream with respect to the last folding rollers 11 and thus the outlet region of the folding unit 10. In the additional unit two pairs of knife rollers 15, 16 and 17, 18 are mounted. The auxiliary unit is in Fig. 1 swung down, ie inactive. In this - horizontal - position of the auxiliary unit 13, the knife rollers 15 to 18 are easily accessible from above and can be easily repaired or replaced. The outlet of the folding unit 10 is freely accessible and well visible.

Fig. 2 zeigt das Zusatzaggregat dagegen in seiner aktiven, nach oben verschwenkten Position. In dieser Position werden die Messerwalzen 15 bis 18 durch das Falzwerk 10 mit angetrieben, wie mit Bezug auf Fig. 4 nachstehend näher erläutert wird. Im aktiven Zustand nimmt das Zusatzaggregat 13 eine zumindest annähernd vertikale Stellung ein. Die Schwenkbewegung von der horizontalen Ruheposition in die senkrechte Arbeitsposition wird durch eine aus der Schnittdarstellung der Fig. 3 ersichtliche Steuerkurve 19 im Rahmen 12 geführt. In die viertelkreisförmige Steuerkurve 19 ragt ein mit dem Zusatzaggregat 13 verbundener Bolzen 20 und führt dadurch die Drehbewegung des Aggregats 13 um die Achse 14. Gleichzeitig stellt die Steuerkurve 19 einen Endanschlag sowohl für die Ruheposition als auch für die Arbeitsposition des Zusatzaggregats 13 dar. Fig. 2 shows the auxiliary unit, however, in its active, upwardly pivoted position. In this position, the knife rollers 15 to 18 are driven by the folding unit 10, as with reference to Fig. 4 will be explained in more detail below. In the active state, the auxiliary unit 13 assumes an at least approximately vertical position. The pivoting movement from the horizontal rest position to the vertical working position is indicated by a cross-sectional view of the Fig. 3 apparent control curve 19 in the frame 12 out. In the quarter-circle cam 19 projects a connected to the auxiliary unit 13 bolts 20 and thereby performs the rotational movement of the unit 13 about the axis 14. At the same time, the control cam 19 is an end stop for both the rest position and for the working position of the auxiliary unit 13.

Die Seitenansicht aus Fig. 4 verdeutlicht zusammen mit der Darstellung in Fig. 2, dass in der Arbeitsposition des Zusatzaggregats 13 eine Antriebswelle 21 des Falzwerks 10 über Zahnräder 22 und 23 ein Zahnrad 24 des Zusatzaggregats 13, das auf einer Welle 25 sitzt, diese Welle 25 antreibt. Die Welle 25 wiederum ist über einen Zahnriemenantrieb 26 mit den Messerwalzen 15 bis 18 verbunden. Beim Verschwenken des Zusatzaggregats 13 in seine Arbeitsposition gelangen die Zahnräder 23 und 24 automatisch in Eingriff, sodass ohne weitere Maßnahmen der Antrieb der Messerwalzen 15 bis 18 durch das Falzwerk 10 erfolgt.The side view Fig. 4 clarified together with the representation in Fig. 2 in that in the working position of the additional assembly 13 a drive shaft 21 of the folding unit 10 via gears 22 and 23, a gear 24 of the auxiliary unit 13, which sits on a shaft 25, drives this shaft 25. The shaft 25 in turn is connected via a toothed belt drive 26 with the cutter rollers 15 to 18. When pivoting the auxiliary unit 13 in its working position, the gears 23 and 24 engage automatically, so that without further action the drive of the knife rollers 15 to 18 takes place through the folding unit 10.

Das Zusatzaggregat 13 kann bei Nichtgebrauch leicht vom Rahmen 12 abmontiert werden. Es kann auch durch ein anderes Zusatzaggregat mit beispielsweise mehr als zwei Messerwalzenpaaren 15, 16 und 17, 18 ersetzt werden. Außerdem können die Messerwalzen 15 bis 18 leicht gegen andere ausgetauscht werden. Damit lässt sich das Falzwerk 10 und damit die gesamte Falzmaschine leicht an unterschiedliche Aufgaben anpassen.The auxiliary unit 13 can be easily removed from the frame 12 when not in use. It can also be replaced by another auxiliary unit with, for example, more than two pairs of knife rollers 15, 16 and 17, 18. In addition, the knife rollers 15 to 18 can be easily replaced with others. Thus, the folder 10 and thus the entire folding machine can be easily adapted to different tasks.
