Description

  The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for continuously integrating a scaly stream of at least two rows of flat-type printing paper material that are spaced apart from one another and transported at equal speeds.

  The entire paper web drawn from the paper roll during offset rotary printing is printed. In this case, the rotary offset printing press has the ability to print over 100,000 printing paper materials per hour. Parallel production is carried out very frequently to achieve this high production number. For example, using the “16 page” printing machine, two identical “8 page” catalogs can be printed and sent out simultaneously. Often, a folding device that folds the printing paper material and transfers it to the rotary storage device is connected to the outlet of the printing press. Two identical flat-type printing paper materials are always sent out from the outlet of that type of printing machine or the subsequent folding device, and they are post-processed by the rotary storage device via the two storage lines. It is conveyed to a process, for example, a saddle stitcher. In this case, the printing paper material is continuously transported through a propulsion system such as a transport belt, in the form of a so-called scaly stream, that is, in a state of partially overlapping each other in the transport direction.

  The problem with the conventional apparatus is that it has to be driven with two receiving lines for the post-processing step. This leads to an increase in capital investment and maintenance costs.

  To eliminate this problem, both scaly streams that are spaced apart are combined into a single scaly stream.

  European Patent Application No. 0155633 A2 describes a region in which two scale-like streams, which are propelled in parallel, are shifted from each other in a common transport plane and approach each other until they completely intersect at an acute angle and the product intersects An integrated method and apparatus for scaly flow is disclosed which alternately turns from the common transport plane within.

  European Patent Application No. 0214458 A2 discloses an improvement to the solution described above, in which the turning means is formed as a non-driven deflecting body with a smooth and unbent entry contour. ing.

  From WO 2008/089565 another method and apparatus is known for integrating the scaly stream of two rows of flat printing paper material. According to this, first, both scale-like flow of printing paper materials are shifted in the propulsion direction and conveyed in the horizontal direction on parallel conveyance paths. Subsequently, the printing paper material is gripped by a gripping tool assigned to each scale-like stream of the drive type intermediate transport device, and is individually moved at that time and moved to a vertical position. By inserting the other product stream printing paper material into a comb using a gripper in the gap formed between the preceding and subsequent printing paper materials in one product stream, both product stream streams The printing paper materials are aligned so as to completely overlap to form a single product stream. Thereafter, the product stream is accommodated in the subsequent transport device so as to form the scale-like stream.

  In view of the above-mentioned conventional technology, the object of the present invention is to enable the integration of scaly stream flow into the output port of the latest offset rotary printing press, while at the same time reducing the capital investment and maintenance cost in the post-processing process. It is to provide a method and apparatus for continuously integrating a scaly stream of two rows of flat printing paper material.

  The object is to define a method for continuously integrating a scaly stream of at least two rows of flat-type printing paper material as defined by the independent claim and conveyed at an equal speed, as well as such a method. Solved by the executing device.

  In the method according to the present invention, first of all the scaly stream, the first scaly stream is formed with respect to the second scaly stream while forming a first lateral polymerization region between the both scaly streams. To the side. Subsequently, both scaly stream printing paper materials are continuously lifted at least in the lateral polymerization region, and both scaly stream printing paper materials previously overlapped with each other are released from each other. Try to be separated. Thereafter, both scaly stream printing paper materials are sequentially lowered or dropped at least in the raised side overlapping region, and the first or second scaly stream one printing paper material is replaced with the other. A portion of the scaly stream is allowed to extend partially above a piece of printing paper material, thereby forming a single scaly stream having a second lateral polymerization region of the printing paper material.

  An apparatus for carrying out the method according to the present invention comprises two input conveying devices arranged apart from each other for conveying one of both scale-like streams to the central conveying device, In order to distribute, i.e., alternately, the other scaly stream of printing paper material into the other scaly stream of printing paper material, a distribution device arranged in the region of the central conveying device is provided.

  By the above method and the apparatus for carrying it out, for example, the scaly stream output from a versatile printing machine such as the above-mentioned “16 page” printer is directly integrated into a scaly stream. The possibility of post-processing the flat printing paper material contained therein without going through a separate adaptation process is provided. Since the need to install two or more scaly stream accommodation lines is eliminated, the equipment costs for the post-treatment process and the labor for maintenance are reduced.

  Preferred embodiments of the invention are made clear by the description of the examples described below with reference to the dependent claims and the accompanying drawings.

  Structurally or functionally equivalent components are denoted by common reference numerals in the figures.

  FIG. 1 is a side view showing an embodiment of an apparatus 1 according to the present invention for integrating two scale-like stream 2a, 2b of a flat printing paper material 3. FIG. The vertical dotted line is drawn for the purpose of clarity and divides the device 1 into regions AG. On the upstream side of the apparatus 1, there is an output port 4 of a printing machine or a folding apparatus not shown in detail, whereby the flat printing paper material 3 is moved downwardly with the first scaly stream 2a. In the form of the second scaly stream 2b, it is conveyed to the input conveying devices 6a and 6b above and below the device 1 formed as conveying belts via two conveying belts 5a and 5b arranged vertically. Each is transferred at a speed V. Both input transport devices 6a, 6b comprise a plurality of partial components 7a, 7b; 8a, 8b; 9a, 9b; 10a, 10b; 11, respectively, which are arranged in areas A to D of the device 1. Yes. Within the area A, the scaly stream 2a, 2b is transported via the two first partial components 7a, 7b of both input transport devices 6a, 6b. Of course, it is also possible for the input conveying devices 6a and 6b to have a larger or smaller number of partial components, and the feeding of the scaly stream 2a and 2b is performed without using the first partial components 7a and 7b. It is also possible to do. Further, the conveyor belts 5a and 5b can be arranged not adjacent to each other but adjacent to each other or with their side and / or height positions shifted from each other. Instead of connecting both conveyor belts 5a, 5b to the output port 4 of a single printer, it is also possible to connect each conveyor belt 5a, 5b to a separate printer.

  The scale-like stream 2a, 2b reaches the second region B of the apparatus 1 within the subsequent transfer path, and a second partial configuration formed as a rolling device of the input transfer apparatuses 6a, 6b there. The elements 8a and 8b are arranged so that they can take two positions. In this case, the first position state relates to the propulsion of the scale-like stream 2a, 2b in the transport direction V, and the second position state guides the printing paper material 3 corresponding to defective printing to, for example, a defective container not shown. To eliminate misprints. The position state that has settled for the exclusion of the second partial components 8a, 8b of both the input conveying devices 6a, 6b is shown by dotted lines. The removal is performed in order to remove the defective printing paper 3 until the printing press is set to an appropriate printing state at the start stage of the printing operation to be performed. However, the partial components 8a and 8b of the input transport devices 6a and 6b can be switched from one position state to the other position state at any time.

  Furthermore, the scale-like stream 2a, 2b reaches the third region C of the apparatus 1 within the transition of the subsequent conveying path, in which at least one of the input conveying apparatuses 6a, 6b is separated from the upper belt 12 and the lower belt 13. The third partial component 9a, 9b is formed (FIGS. 2a, 2b). Therefore, the upper belt 12 that circulates around a predetermined number of guide pulleys 12a is driven by the drive pulley 12b and includes a tension pulley 12c. Similarly, the lower belt 13 includes a predetermined number of guide pulleys 13a, drive pulleys 13b, and tension pulleys 13c. Further, an adjustment device (not shown) mounted on the guide element 13d to adjust the height is used to switch from the first position state shown in FIG. 2a to the second position state shown in FIG. 2b. The pulley segment 13e which can be provided is provided. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, only the third partial component 9b of the lower input transport device 6b is formed. By appropriately energizing the adjusting device, each of the scaly stream streams 2a and 2b can be transported directly or delayed, respectively, so that the products of the printing paper material 3 of both scaly stream streams 2a and 2b can be obtained. A positional deviation 14 (FIG. 7) in the conveying direction V can be set between the back portions, and in this case, the positional deviation from the conveying path of the flat type printing paper material 3 extending between the upper belt 12 and the lower belt 13. The length of 14 can be changed as needed. The maximum delay of the lower scaly stream 2b is carried out in the maximum displaced position of the lower belt 13 shown in FIG. 2b, so that the maximum misalignment 14 between both scaly streams 2a, 2b is achieved. Is formed. Of course, only the upper third partial component 9a can be formed in the same manner. Further, both the third partial components 9a and 9b can be provided with the possibility of extending the transport path. Other components can be alternatively used for that purpose, such as, for example, a delay mechanism composed of interconnected articulation members.

  Subsequently, the scaly stream 2a, 2b reaches the fourth region D of the device 1, in which the fourth partial components 10a, 10b of the input transport devices 6a, 6b are arranged. These partial components 10a and 10b deflect the transport direction V of at least one of the input transport devices 6a and 6b. The downstream end regions of the input conveying devices 6a, 6b, in other words the downstream ends of the fourth partial components 10a, 10b, are input to the central conveying device 15 in which they are substantially similarly formed as a conveying belt. One of the input conveyance devices 6a and 6b, that is, one of the fourth partial components 10a and 10b is another one of the input devices 6a and 6b. Input conveyance devices 6a and 6b, that is, are configured to extend while being deviated laterally with respect to a predetermined distance from a contact portion with another one of the fourth partial components 10a and 10b. (See FIG. 3). According to a preferred configuration of the device 1, only the fourth partial component 10a of the upper input transport device 6a can be pivoted sideways, and the fourth partial component 10b of the lower input transport device 6b. Rather, it is already aligned directly with respect to the central conveying device 15. In another embodiment not shown here, the fourth partial component 10b or both partial components 10a, 10b are formed to be pivotable laterally.

  Lateral pivoting of the fourth partial component 10a, i.e. a transverse displacement with respect to the conveying direction V at the downstream end, is carried out by an articulation member 10c arranged downstream of the third partial component 9a. The fourth partial component 10a is fixed thereon. The printing paper material 3 of the upper scaly stream 2a is displaced in the transverse direction toward the conveying direction V with respect to the printing paper material of the lower scaly stream 2b by the side turning of the fourth partial component 10a. Thereby, a first lateral polymerization zone d1 is formed (FIG. 7), in which both scaly streams 2a, 2b overlap each other in the edge zone. In addition, the positional deviation V in the transport direction V is also influenced by the lateral turning of the partial component 10a, which is taken into account when the device 1 is displaced in the region C described above. Accordingly, the misalignment 14 is set depending on the width of the first overlapping region d1 where both the scaly stream 2a and 2b are scheduled.

  In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the fourth partial component 10 b of the lower input transport device 6 b and the fourth partial component 10 a that can be turned sideways of the upper input transport device 6 a input and transport the scaly stream 2 a and 2 b. Transfer to the last common fifth partial component 11 of the devices 6a, 6b, and transfer the composite scaly stream 16a on which it is formed to the central transport device 15. On the further transport path, the composite scaly stream 16a reaches the distribution device 17 present in the fifth region E of the device 1. In another embodiment not shown, the fourth partial component 10b and the pivotable fourth partial component 10a transfer the scaly streams 2a, 2b directly to the central transport device 15.

  The distribution device 17 is formed as a distribution plow 18 capable of separating the printing paper material 3 of the upper scaly stream 2 a from the printing paper material 3 of the lower scaly stream 2 b or comprises such a distribution plow 18. Is preferred. The separation involves an integrated sub-process in which the scoring stream 2a, 2b of the composite scaly stream 2a, which is superimposed on top and bottom of the composite scaly stream 16a, is lifted at least in the polymerization zone d1 and thereby both scaly streams 2a and 2b are separated. The printing paper material is formed in such a manner that a second overlapping region d2 is formed by the printing paper material 3 overlapping each other in the edge region by dropping onto the central conveying device 15 carried out downstream of the distribution plow 18. 3 are combined into a single scaly stream 16b. Instead of dropping, the printing paper material 3 can be settled on the central conveying device 15.

  A first press element 19a, in particular a press roller, is provided on both sides of the distribution plow 18, and the side surface of the distribution plow 18 when it drops the printing paper material 3 of the original scaly stream 2a, 2b separated by the distribution plow 18. 18a (see FIG. 4), thereby facilitating the formation of scaly stream 16b.

  In the fifth region E of the device 1 according to the invention shown in detail in FIG. 4, during the integration into a single scaly stream 16a, both scaly streams 2a, 2b of the composite scaly stream 16a Stabilizing elements are provided for controlling and transporting the printing paper 3, the purpose of which is in particular the lifting by the distribution plow 18 and the subsequent slipping of the printing paper 3 upon falling onto the central transport device 15. Is to prevent. The stabilizing element comprises, for example, guide elements 15a, 15b formed as hoses, tubes, carriages and / or rollers and a second pressing element 19b formed, for example, as an upper belt, link chain and / or load roller. As shown in FIG. 3, at least two first guide elements 15 a arranged on the side and upstream of the distribution plow 18 and on the side and downstream of the distribution plow 18. Two second guide elements 15b and two second press elements 19b arranged on the side of the distribution plow 18 and above the central conveying device 15 are provided. The first and second guide elements 15 a and 15 b are arranged in a direction transverse to the conveying direction V, and the distance between them can be adjusted in the direction transverse to the conveying direction V. Both second press elements 19 b are formed so as to press the printing paper 3 against the central conveying device 15.

  In the sixth region F of the device 1 according to the present invention, the central transport device 15 transfers the scaly stream 16b to the first transfer transport device 21a, which is also formed as a transport belt, and the central transport device 15 at that time. A reliable guide of the printing paper material 3 is achieved by the third press element 19c which is arranged in the transfer area above the first transfer conveying device 21a and is formed as a press roller (FIG. 9). The scaly stream 16b is guided to the pressing device 22 by using the first transfer transport device 21a. This pressing device is formed as a pinch belt conveying device having two conveying belts arranged vertically on both sides of the first transfer conveying device 21a and extending from the outside to the inside. A guide element 22a is included, and the guide element is configured to act so as to shift both the original printing paper materials 3 of the scale-like stream 2a and 2b toward the center of the scale-like stream 16b. The aforementioned shift of FIG. 9 is illustrated with respect to the original scaly stream 2b printing paper material 3, i.e. only half of the scaly stream 16b is shown for reasons of clarity. After this shift, in the fifth region E of the device 1, that is, the overlap region d2 (FIG. 7) of the scaly stream 16b that is already formed when the printing paper 3 falls after the distribution plow 18 is substantially printed. This corresponds to the width of the paper material 3. In other words, the pressing device 22 reduces the width of the scaly stream 16b and transfers the scaly stream 16c that is substantially completely overlapped with the subsequent centering device 23.

  In the lower region of FIG. 9, a row of two guide elements 22a formed as a pinch belt conveying device and arranged vertically is shown. Instead of arranging two such guide elements 22a on each side, adjacent to each other a plurality of rows of sandwich belt conveyors as shown in the upper region of FIG. It can also be arranged. Further, the pressing device 22 has a second transfer conveying device 21b on the downstream side of the guide element 22a and a press element 22b arranged above and formed as a press roller, and the press element 22b generates the scaly stream 16c. Guidance is given when moving to the centering device 23.

  The centering device 23 is provided with centering elements 23a whose positions can be adjusted on both sides, and the distance between them can be adjusted according to the width of the printing paper 3 by the adjusting device 23b schematically shown. In this way, the printing paper material 3 continuous in the front-rear direction in the scaly stream 16c can be finally aligned after the pressing device 22, so that the scaly stream 16c is always constant after the centering device 23. Have a width. On the path through the centering device 23, the scaly stream 16 c is propelled by the conveyor belt 23 c and thereby further guided to the seventh region G of the subsequent device 1. Of course, centering can also be performed by other appropriate devices.

  In the seventh region G of the apparatus 1, an inspection device 24 including a transport belt 24 a, a passage sensor 24 b, a discharge device 24 c formed as a discharge switch and a delivery unit 24 d is disposed. In the region G, the scale sensor 16b is used for quality inspection of the scaly stream 16c, and a defective printing paper material 3 is guided into a defective container (not shown) by the discharging device 24c. The printing paper material 3 determined to be a non-defective product of the scale-like stream 16c then reaches the post-processing device 25 that follows the device 1 (not shown in detail) via the delivery unit 24d. Of course, this quality inspection can be omitted, that is, the apparatus 1 can be configured without the area F, or the area can be temporarily deactivated.

  FIG. 3 is a top view showing the transition of the scaly stream streams 2a and 2b, the composite scaly stream stream 16a, and the scaly stream streams 16c and 16c. 8a, 8b; 9a, 9b; 10a, 10b; 11, input conveyors 6a, 6b, a central conveyor 15, and a conveyor of the pressing device 22 and a centering device. 23 and the inspection device 24 are shown very simply in the lower region of FIG. 3, while the components of FIG. 1 that are not necessary for illustration are not shown. Regions A to G correspond to those in FIG. In the regions A to C, the upper first scaly stream 2a and the lower second scaly stream 2b extend vertically and therefore the latter is not visible in this region of FIG. In the fourth region D, the upper scaly stream 2a turns so as to be laterally displaced, that is, its printing paper 3 crosses the transport direction V described above at the downstream end of the region D. It has a first overlapping region d1 in the direction. This is preferably carried out by side turning of the fourth partial component 10a of the upper input transport device 6a using the joint member 10c as described in connection with FIG. When using the partial component 11 of the input transport device 6a, 6b in the fifth region E or at the end of the fourth region D, the upper scaly stream 2a is laterally displaced to the lower scaly stream. By stacking on the stream 2b, a composite scaly stream 16a is formed. It should be noted that both input transport devices 6a, 6b have the same speed. The composite scaly stream 16a formed from both individual scaly streams 2a, 2b as already described in connection with FIG. 1 is transported in the fifth region E to the distributor 17 for distribution plows 18 and guides. Element 15a, 15b and second and first press elements 19b, 19a are used to convert to a single scaly stream 16c. Thereafter, the width of the scaly stream 16b is continuously increased by the pressing device 22 and the subsequent centering device 23 in the sixth region F until the overlapping region d2 shown in FIG. 7 matches the width of the printing paper 3. Reduced. As a result, a single scaly stream 16c made of the printing paper material 3 completely overlapped with each other is formed, and can be further post-processed.

  FIG. 4 is a detailed view showing the distribution plow 18 and the central conveying device 15. Sections AA, BB and CC are described below in connection with FIG. The composite scaly stream 16a moves in the direction of the distribution plow 18 in the region of the section AA. Only the lower scaly stream 2b is visible in the region of the distribution plow 18 in the original upper and lower scaly stream, but the printing paper material 3 of these scaly stream 2a, 2b is the side surface 18a. In addition, it gradually rises along the upper edge 18b of the distribution plow 18 and separates from each other in the first superposition region d1 thus far. In other words, the printing paper material 3 is lifted starting from the inner edge 26 thereof. Both first guide elements 15a are held substantially in contact with the distribution plow 18 during the lifting of the previously overlapped area of the printing paper 3 and substantially during the lifting of the other areas of the printing paper 3. Therefore, the central conveying device 15 is kept in contact with the printing paper material 3 and the distribution plow 18 or the central conveying device 15 so that a sufficient frictional force is ensured. Therefore, the sliding of the printing paper material 3 to the side is prevented, and the controlled standing is guaranteed. In the downstream region of the distribution plow 18, the original printing paper material 3 of the upper scaly stream 2 a is separated from the original printing paper material 3 of the lower scaly stream 2 b.

  After this separation, the printing paper material 3 falls again onto the central conveying device 15 (see the portion of section BB in FIG. 4), and subsequently the pressing device 22 shown in FIGS. Conveyed in the direction. On both sides of the distribution plow 18, a first press element 19 a, preferably formed as a press roller, is arranged, and when it falls onto the central conveying device 15, the printing paper 3 is directed in the direction of the distribution plow 18. It is comprised so that it may press. This first pressing element 19a is arranged adjacent to the side of the region downstream of the distribution plow 18 so as not to disturb the standing of the printing paper material 3 starting from the inner edge 26. With this configuration, the printing paper 3 is uncontrollable after separation and again falls onto the central transport device 15, thereby causing irregular trajectories of the scaly stream 16 b formed on the downstream side of the distribution plow 18. Effectively prevented by element 19a.

  In a preferred embodiment, both second guide elements 15b join in the downstream side of the distribution plow 18, ie in the fall area of the printing paper material 3. They press the printing paper material 3 against the central conveying device 15 to ensure that bubbles present between the falling printing paper material 3 and the central conveying device 15 are surely eliminated. This method ensures that the printing paper material 3 is properly stacked on the central conveying device 15. As described in connection with FIG. 1, the drop of the printing paper 3 is additionally stabilized by the second pressing element 19b.

  FIG. 5 shows a preferred embodiment of a dispensing device 17 formed as a dispensing plow 18 or with such a dispensing plow 18. Therefore, the distribution plow 18 has the form of two pyramids 20 consisting of at least three side surfaces 20a, 20b, 20c and one bottom surface 20d. Each of the pyramids 20 has a side surface 20a and is arranged in a plane of the central transport device 15 which is not shown here. Each pyramid has an edge 20f extending between the second and third side surfaces 20b, 20c of each pyramid 20 with an adjustable angle α with respect to the conveying direction V, with the bottom 20d being It extends perpendicular to the transport direction V. The edge 20f of each pyramid 20 abuts at a common vertex 20e in the transport direction V. Each pyramid 20 is formed such that the edge 20f has an adjustable slope β. The side 18a of the distribution plow 18 then corresponds to the second side 20b of the pyramid 20, and the upper edge 18b of the distribution plow 18 corresponds to the edge 20f of the pyramid 20. Of course, the distribution plow 18 may include more or less than two pyramids 20.

  By the action of the adjustable angle α and the adjustable inclination β, the shape of the distribution plow 18 depends on the type of the printing paper material 3 of the upper and lower scaly stream 2a, 2b, and a regular scaly stream 16b is formed. It becomes possible to adjust so that. Regardless of the shape of the distribution plow 18, the position of the pressing element 19 a described in connection with FIG. 1 can likewise be adjusted and adjusted in the transverse direction with respect to the conveying direction V.

  Of course, the distribution plow 18 is not limited to the shape shown here. Various other shapes are conceivable within the scope of the claimed features of the invention, and the individual pyramid shapes or guide elements having a guide surface corresponding to the second side 29b of the pyramid 20 or the side 18a of the distribution plow 18. Can be considered. Of course, the guide surface can also be formed by a curved surface.

  FIGS. 6a, 6b and 6c show three steps for integrating the scaly stream 2a, 2b, which correspond to the cross sections AA, BB and CC shown in FIG. To do. Here, the transport direction V is oriented perpendicular to the drawing. Although the pressing elements disposed on both sides of the distribution plow 18 are shown, namely a first pressing element 19a and an adjustable second pressing element 19b, both guide elements 15a, 15b is omitted.

  FIG. 6a shows a state before the separation of the composite scaly stream 16a composed of the upper first scaly stream 2a and the lower second scaly stream 2b or before the separation of the printing paper material 3 belonging to them. ing. In this case, the upper scaly stream 2a extends in the transport direction V over the lower scaly stream 2b over its entire length. In the region before the formation of the composite scaly stream 16a, the pivotable partial component 10a of the central transfer device 15 sets the first overlapping region d1 of the composite scaly stream 16a. However, it is conceivable that the composite scaly stream 16a is not post-processed because of the structure of a general post-processing apparatus.

  FIG. 6b shows a state in which the first printing paper material 3a of the upper scaly stream 2a and the first printing paper material 3b of the lower scaly stream 2b are separated from each other. Both printing papers 3a, 3b are lifted substantially before the separation by the distribution plow 18 which is here formed in the shape of both pyramids 20, both in the middle of the first superposition zone d1. It joins partially on the 2nd side surface 20b of the pyramid 20 which protrudes 20a at the bottom. In this case, the first press element 19a presses the printing paper materials 3a and 3b in the region downstream of the distribution plow 18 in the direction of the second side surface 20b of the pyramid 20 to separate them from each other. It works suitably to induce 3b accurately.

  In FIG. 6 c, the state of the first printing paper material 3 a, 2 b of the original upper and lower scaly stream 2 a, 2 b is shown downstream of the distribution plow 18. After passing through the bottom surface 20d of the pyramid 20, i.e. the downstream end of the distribution plow 18, the printing paper 3a, 3b falls onto the central conveying device 15 as controlled by the first pressing element 19a, where they relate to the width. It overlaps on the 2nd superposition | polymerization area | region d2 which corresponds to the 1st superposition | polymerization area | region d1. This is followed by another printing paper material 3c or 3d of the original upper and lower scale-like stream 2a, 2b, which are also shown separated in FIG. 6c. The first printing paper material 3a, 3b is a part of the scaly stream 16b, and the difference between the scaly stream 16b and the composite scaly stream 16a is that the printing paper material 3a of the original scaly stream 2a is the original. The lower scaly stream 2b extends on the printing paper material 3b, the subsequent lower scaly stream 2b of the subsequent printing paper material 3d extends on the printing paper material 3a, and the original upper scaly line The state in which the printing paper material 3c following the flow 2a extends on the printing paper material 3d is repeated, so that the printing paper material 3 of the upper or lower scale-like stream 2a, 2b is alternately turned to the other scale-like stream. It extends partially on the printing paper material 3 of 2b and 2a (refer FIG. 7). Regardless of the specific embodiment, the print paper material 3 that precedes in the transport direction V is always located below the print paper material 3 that follows in the transport direction V after the integration of the scaly rows. On the other hand, in the composite scaly stream 16a, the upper scaly stream 2a always exists on the lower scaly stream 2b.

  FIG. 7 is a top view showing a region E of the apparatus 1 according to the present invention, and the displacement of the scale-like stream 2a of the scale-like stream 2a in the transport direction V with respect to the printing paper 3 of the scale-like stream 2b in the conveying direction V. 14 is shown. The composite scaly stream 16a is supplied to the distribution plow 18 along the conveying direction V and is converted into the scaly stream 16b by its action. At this time, it is preferable that the width of the second overlapping region d2 is substantially equal to the width of the first overlapping region d1. FIG. 7 shows the state of the first pressing element 19a in the region on both sides of the distribution plow 18 and downstream thereof.

  The upper and lower scaly streams 2a, 2b are in front of the third partial component 9 of the lower input transport device 6b previously shown in detail in FIGS. 2a and 2b and the upper part shown in FIG. The fourth partial component 10a that can be swiveled in the input conveying device 6a is used to be displaced from each other by the amount of positional deviation 14 in the conveying direction V, and the first lateral overlapping region d1 is also in the same manner. This is set using four partial components 10a. As shown in FIG. 7, the positional deviation 14 of both the scaly stream 2a and 2b in the transport direction V is greater than zero. This is preferably equivalent to half of the scale interval 27 between two consecutive printing paper materials 3 in either one of the scale-like streams 2a, 2b upstream of the distribution plow 18. The positional deviation 14 can be arbitrarily set by the upper belt 12 and the lower belt 13 of the third partial component 9b of the lower input transport device 6b, but cannot be set to zero. This will be described below with reference to FIG.

  At the same time that the printing paper 3 reaches the apex 20e of the pyramid 20 of the distribution plow 18 arranged substantially in the center of the first overlapping region d1, the printing paper 3 is continuous from its inner edge 26 as a starting point. Lifted to. This is shown in FIG. 7 for the inner edges 26a, 26b, 26c, 26d, taking the upper scaly stream 2a as an example. The inner edge 26 of the upper scaly stream 2a of the printing paper 3 is no longer in contact with the lower scaly stream 2b of the printing paper 3. The first guide element 15 a is preferably arranged on the side of the distribution plow 18 and the second guide element 15 b is preferably arranged downstream of the distribution plow 18.

  FIG. 8 is a top view showing another configuration of the region E of the apparatus 1 according to the present invention, in which the distribution device 17 is the printing paper material 3 of the scaly stream 2a, 2b above and below in the transport direction V. No misalignment 14 is formed between them. In spite of this, the permutation of the drop of the predetermined printing paper material 3 and the single scale-like flow 16b according to the permutation of the predetermined printing paper material 3 is formed downstream of the distribution plow 18 and the preceding printing paper material 3 in the transport direction V is in the transport direction. In order to be present under the subsequent printing paper 3 in FIG. 8, both pyramids 20 of the distribution plow 18 have side surfaces 20a, 20b, 20c of different lengths, of which side surface 20b in FIG. Only a representative is shown. Therefore, in the scaly stream 16b formed by this method, the printing paper material 3 of one scaly stream of the upper or lower scaly stream 2a, 2b is partially replaced with the other scaly stream 2b, 2a. Are stacked on the printing paper material 3. In the distribution plow 18 thus formed, the first press element 19a, the first guide element 15a, and the first guide element 15a assigned to each pyramid 20 are provided so that the printing paper 3 can be sufficiently supported. The two guide elements 15b are adjusted appropriately, that is, they are offset from each other in the transport direction V. The composite scaly stream 16a formed without the displacement 14 is transported to the distribution plow 18 along the transport direction V in the same manner as the composite scaly stream 16a shown in FIG. It is converted into a scale-like stream 16b. In this alternative solution, the width of the second overlapping region d2 is substantially equal to the width of the first overlapping region d1.

  The advantages of the method according to the invention and the device 1 according to the invention are that the rotary accommodation device can be adapted to the output port of an offset rotary printing press, which is usually located above and below, and the upper and lower scaly stream It is possible to save the installation costs of the additional post-processing line that was normally required to guarantee parallel processing of the printing paper material 3 of 2a, 2b. Therefore, the maintenance cost usually associated with the use of two processing lines can be greatly reduced. In addition, it is possible to eliminate misprints individually before the integration of both scaly streams 2a, 2b in the region B of the device 1, which also reduces costs.

  Although the apparatus 1 has been described in relation to a conveying system formed from a conveying belt, it is of course possible to use other conveying systems such as a gripping conveying device within the frame of the present invention. It is also possible to combine a plurality of different transport systems. For example, the areas A to D of the apparatus 1 may be provided with a gripping conveyance device, and the subsequent areas E to G may be provided with a conveyance belt.
