Sheet processing machine with at least one sheet depositing device and method for sheet depositing

The invention relates to a sheet processing machine with at least one sheet depositing device and a method for depositing sheets according to the preamble of claim 1 or according to the preamble of claim 44.

In the manufacture of packaging, sheet or sheet-like materials are used. In several processing steps, sheets are, for example, printed, embossed, grooved, perforated, punched, cut, stapled, glued and, for example, folded into packaging. In order to make optimal use of the area of an arc, several identical or different copies, e.g. B. a poster, a folding box or packaging, printed on a common sheet and then punched. These copies are referred to as utility.

A sheet processing machine can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, creasing, punching, perforating, gluing and / or stapling. Such sheet processing machines often also have inspection devices. Usually, sheets are processed and cut to size in processing machines with shaped punching and cutting devices.

Such a processing machine is designed, for example, as a punching, cutting, perforating, embossing and / or creasing machine. When such a processing machine is referred to below as a punching and / or punching machine, a cutting, perforating, embossing and / or creasing machine is also meant in particular.

In the case of form-related systems, in addition to rotary punches, there are also flat punches, in particular flat-bed punches. These are cyclical through a repetitive movement processed several sheets one after the other. The sheets are preferably moved largely horizontally through the processing machine with a transport system, preferably a chain gripper system. In addition to a punching unit, such a machine usually also has other units such. B. a sheet feed unit, a sheet delivery unit, a stripping unit, a sheet insert unit, a blanking unit and a remnant delivery unit.

In the depaneling unit, the copies are separated using an upper and a lower depaneling tool and stacked on a delivery unit. The copies are usually stacked on the delivery pile as a single pile. To increase the stability of the individual stacks, a sheet, preferably unprocessed, is periodically introduced or deposited into the stack and / or the individual stacks. In particular for this purpose, the sheet insert unit is arranged in the sheet processing machine.

Such a device for stacking sheets and / or copies is known from DE 195 16 023 B4 and DE 195 16023 A1. In particular, there is shown a slip sheet cassette with a supply stack of unprocessed sheets.

A rake for transporting such a sheet into a storage pile is also shown. In particular, an unprocessed sheet is placed there as an intermediate sheet on the delivery stack.

DE 102015218 145 A1 discloses a sheet depositing device for insertion into a stack of sheets as a non-stop device. The sheet depositing device is preferably designed as a rake, roller blind or plate. In particular, the roller blind has a plurality of elements arranged one behind the other, e.g. B. rollers, tubes or rods. On the front side, the links are rotatably mounted on the chains.

ES 2 064222 A2 discloses a sheet processing machine with a sheet depositing device. The sheet depositing device has for the intermediate storage of Use / sheet on one or two storage racks. An embodiment of the sheet depositing device as a conveyor belt is disclosed, but its design remains without explanation.

EP 2 840047 A1 discloses a palletizing machine for various materials such as corrugated cardboard or the like. The document discloses a sheet storage means and a storage element.

DE 2630094 A1 discloses a sheet processing machine with a sheet depositing device. DE 2630 094 A1 describes a non-stop device which facilitates a stack change. The sheet depositing device is arranged under the lower depaneling tool.

The invention is based on the object of creating a sheet processing machine with at least one sheet depositing device and a method for depositing sheets.

The object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1 and the features of claim 44.

The advantages that can be achieved with the invention consist in particular in the fact that an improved sheet depositing device for, preferably non-stop, sheet depositing is created. In particular, fewer downtimes and / or stops of the sheet processing machine are necessary as a result of the execution. In particular, a degree of automation can thus be increased and a machine running time can be extended. An intermediate storage capacity of sheets can be increased by a vertically adjustable arrangement of the sheet depositing device. In particular, an intermediate storage capacity can, for example, be increased to such an extent that a delivery stack can be changed without machine downtime. In an exit step, in particular a sheet depositing step, an intermediate storage stack of sheets and / or copies and / or individual stacks of copies is deposited on a stacking element and / or delivery stack. In this extension step, a relative movement of at least one sheet depositing means and at least one transporting means prevents and / or at least reduces a shifting and / or slipping of at least one intermediate storage stack.

Another advantage that can be achieved with the invention is the design of the sheet depositing device with a horizontally movable sheet depositing device. In the case of the interleaf insert, a sheet already lies on the sheet depositing device in a retraction step. In particular, the inter-sheet insertion step as well as temporary storage can be implemented by means of a sheet depositing device. In particular, a compact design can be achieved. In particular, a second sheet depositing device can thus be dispensed with.

Another advantage that can be achieved with the invention is the compact arrangement of the drives for the at least one sheet depositing means and the at least one depositing element. In particular, these are arranged fixed to the frame and / or stationary in the sheet insert unit. In particular, a more compact design of the sheet depositing device is possible in this way. In particular, no drive has to be moved along with the various relative movements. In particular, a thin design of the sheet depositing means is possible in this way. The configuration of the at least one sheet depositing device with the preferred configuration of a coaxial shaft is particularly compact. The drives preferably drive the coaxial shaft. A relative movement of the at least one sheet depositing means and of the at least one depositing element is thus achieved via linearly guided guide elements.

Another advantage that can be achieved with the invention is that the sheet depositing device enables a tool change, in particular a lower tool Depaneling tool, is facilitated because the sheet depositing device of the

Depaneling tool can be arranged at a distance. By means of a lifting device, the

Sheet storage device can be adjusted in the vertical direction and so a lower

Depaneling tool can be guided to the intended position.

Embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings and are in
