Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung für die Verarbeitung von Druckprodukten zu Zeitungen, Zeitschriften, Broschüren oder dgl. gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for processing printed products into newspapers, magazines, brochures or the like. According to the preamble of claim 1.

Solche Einrichtungen haben sich in Fabrikationsbetrieben nicht zuletzt aufgrund der günstigen Anordnungsweise als ökonomische Möglichkeit für eine Zwischenlagerung von weiterzuverarbeitenden Druckprodukten erwiesen. Sie zeichnen sich weiterhin durch eine einfache Zuordnung der Druckprodukte zu den Speichereinheiten, eine optimale Raumnutzung und leichte Zugänglichkeit aus.
Die Beschickung der Produktespeicher erfolgt über eine einem Druckwerk nachgeschaltete Abgabestation, an welcher die Druckprodukte von einem Transporteur in eine geschuppte Formation überführt und anschliessend dem Produktespeicher zugeführt werden. Auf diesem Weg wird der geschuppte Strom üblicherweise gewendet, sodass er nach Verlassen des Produktespeichers weiterverarbeitet werden kann.
Such facilities have proven to be an economical possibility for temporary storage of further processed print products in manufacturing plants, not least because of the favorable arrangement. They are also characterized by simple assignment of the print products to the storage units, optimal use of space and easy accessibility.
The product stores are loaded via a delivery station downstream of a printing unit, at which the printed products are transferred from a transporter to a shingled formation and are subsequently fed to the product store. In this way, the shingled electricity is usually turned over so that it can be further processed after leaving the product storage.

Das Auslagern der Druckprodukte aus dem Produktespeicher erfolgte bislang in Schuppenformation über den vor dem Produktespeicher einen Teil des Zuführweges bildenden, eine Richtungsänderung aufweisenden Zuführabschnitt und führte über Weichen zu Annahmestationen, in denen der Schuppenstrom von einem Transporteur übernommen wurde.Up to now, the print products have been removed from the product storage in shed formation via the feed section which forms part of the feed path and has a change of direction in front of the product storage and led via switches to acceptance stations in which the shingled stream was taken over by a transporter.

Diese Auslagerung kann aufgrund der Richtungsänderung im Zuführabschnitt oft nicht reibungslos und ohne das Beheben von Störungen im Schuppenstrom durchgeführt werden.
Durch die sich kreuzenden Produktewege vor den Annahmestationen kann zudem eine optimale Beschickung letzterer von dem Produktespeicher aus nicht erfolgen.
Gleichzeitig wird der Transport der Druckprodukte nach dem Produktespeicher mit einem sog. Hilfstransporteur durchgeführt und die Ausbildung der Annahmestation ist mit einem relativ hohen Einrichtungsaufwand verbunden.
Due to the change in direction in the feed section, this outsourcing can often not be carried out smoothly and without eliminating faults in the shingled stream.
Due to the intersecting product paths in front of the acceptance stations, the latter cannot be optimally loaded from the product store.
At the same time, the transport of the printed products to the product storage is carried out with a so-called auxiliary transporter and the formation of the receiving station is associated with a relatively high outlay on equipment.

Bei einem bekannten Verfahren bzw. einer entsprechenden Einrichtung nach der EP - A - 0 272 398 soll die geringere Leistungsfähigkeit einer Verarbeitungsstation gegenüber einer Druckpresse durch besondere Massnahmen weitgehend behoben werden.
Als Lösung sieht diese Druckschrift vor, dass die in einem Schuppenstrom anfallenden Druckereierzeugnisse auf Zuführstrecken an wenigstens zwei Verarbeitungsstationen überführt werden, wobei der Strom erfasst und derart geführt wird, dass er jede der Zuführstrecken kreuzt, dass der Strom an den Kreuzungsstellen zumindest zeitweilig in eine die Formation des Stromes beibehaltende Speichereinrichtung überführt wird, die gleichzeitig im Bereich derselben Kreuzungsstelle über eine Uebergabestelle auf die Zuführstelle entleert wird.
In a known method or a corresponding device according to EP-A-0 272 398, the lower performance of a processing station compared to a printing press is to be largely eliminated by special measures.
As a solution, this document provides that the printed products accumulating in a shingled stream are transferred to feed lines at at least two processing stations, the stream being recorded and guided in such a way that it crosses each of the feed lines so that the stream at the intersection points at least temporarily into one Formation of the current-maintaining storage device is transferred, which is emptied simultaneously in the area of the same intersection via a transfer point to the feed point.

Vorgesehen ist hierzu eine Einrichtung zum Ueberführen von in einem Schuppenstrom anfallenden Druckereierzeugnissen auf die Zuführstrecken wenigstens zweier Verarbeitungsstationen mit wenigstens einem den Strom heranführenden Förderer indem der Förderer jede der Zuführstrecken kreuzt, wobei die Zuführstrecken an jeder Kreuzungsstelle eine Uebergabestelle aufweisen, an der jeweils eine Speichereinrichtung angeordnet ist, die einerseits nach dem Förderer und andererseits nach der Uebergabestelle ausgerichtet ist, und es sind Mittel vorgesehen, um die Speichereinrichtung gleichzeitig zu beschicken und zu entleeren.
Als Mittel dienen ein erster Wickel und ein zweiter, die Speichereinrichtung bildender Wickel, wobei der erste Wickel zum Aufwickeln der in einem Schuppenstrom anfallenden Druckereierzeugnisse und der zweite Wickel zum Abwickeln mit anschliessendem Uebergeben der Druckereierzeugnisse an eine Zuführstrecke verwendet wird.
For this purpose, a device is provided for transferring printed products accumulating in a shingled stream to the feed lines of at least two processing stations with at least one conveyor leading the stream by the conveyor crossing each of the feed lines, the feed lines having a transfer point at each crossing point, on each of which a storage device is arranged which is oriented on the one hand to the conveyor and on the other hand to the transfer point, and means are provided for loading and emptying the storage device at the same time.
A first roll and a second roll forming the storage device are used as means, the first roll being used for winding up the printed products resulting in a shingled stream and the second roll for unwinding with subsequent transfer of the printed products to a feed path.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, eine Einrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, durch die die auf den Förderfluss zurückzuführenden Unterbrechungen weitestgehend ausgeschlossen, eine optimale Nutzung erzielt und der maschinelle Aufwand erheblich gesenkt werden kann.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a device of the type mentioned at the outset by which the interruptions attributable to the flow of conveyance can be largely eliminated, optimal use can be achieved and the mechanical outlay can be reduced considerably.

Erfindungsgemäss wird diese Aufgabe nach den Merkmalen des kennzeichnenden Teils des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.
Dadurch kann eine zuverlässige Auslagerung der Druckprodukte aus dem Produktespeicher, eine rationelle Verarbeitung und eine einfache Ausgestaltung der Einrichtung erzielt werden.
According to the invention, this object is achieved according to the features of the characterizing part of patent claim 1.
As a result, reliable removal of the printed products from the product memory, efficient processing and simple configuration of the device can be achieved.

Insbesondere wenn als Produktespeicher ein oder mehrere Wickel eingesetzt werden, durch welche die beim Wickeln aneinandergepressten Druckprodukte eine relativ starke gegenseitige Haftung erfahren, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Druckprodukte auf dem Weg zur Weiterverarbeitung über keine Richtungsänderung geführt werden.In particular if one or more windings are used as product storage, by means of which the windings are pressed against one another during winding Print products experience a relatively strong mutual liability, it is particularly advantageous if the printed products are not guided on the way to further processing via a change in direction.

Besonders günstig erweist sich die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung, wenn das bei der Auslagerung stromabwärts angeordnete Ende der Auslagerungsstrecke in eine etwa rechtwinklig verlaufende Fördervorrichtung mündet.The device according to the invention proves to be particularly favorable if the end of the removal section which is arranged downstream during the discharge ends in a conveyor device which runs approximately at right angles.

Vorteilhaft ist jeweils einer Speichereinheit des Produktespeichers eine Fördervorrichtung zugeordnet, sodass mehrere Speichereinheiten gleichzeitig ausgelagert werden können.A conveyor device is advantageously assigned to one storage unit of the product storage unit, so that several storage units can be swapped out simultaneously.

Zweckmässigerweise können die Fördervorrichtungen etwa übereinander angeordnet sein, sodass jeder Auslagerungsvorgang ungestört erfolgen kann.The conveying devices can expediently be arranged approximately one above the other, so that each outsourcing process can take place undisturbed.

Vorzugsweise können die bspw. als Förderband ausgebildeten Fördervorrichtungen wahlweise nach zwei Seiten antreibbar ausgebildet sein, wodurch eine selektive Beschickung von Anlegern oder anderen Weiterverarbeitungsstationen erfolgen kann.The conveyor devices, for example designed as a conveyor belt, can preferably be designed to be drivable on two sides, as a result of which feeders or other further processing stations can be loaded selectively.

Anschliessend wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels erläutert.The invention is then explained using an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing.

Die einzige Figur zeigt schematisch die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung anhand einer beispielhaften Ausführungsform.The single figure shows schematically the device according to the invention using an exemplary embodiment.

Die in der einzigen Figur dargestellte Einrichtung 1 zeigt einen Produktespeicher 2, der aus zwei Speichereinheiten 3, im vorliegenden Fall zwei gewickelten Schuppenformationen der Druckprodukte 4, besteht.
Die Beschickung der an sich bekannten Wickel als Speichereinheit 2 erfolgt ab Druckwerk über eine nicht veranschaulichte Abgabestation, an welcher die Druckprodukte 4 in eine geschuppte Formation zu ihrer weiteren Fortbewegung versetzt werden.
Üblicherweise wird der die Druckstation verlassende Schuppenstrom auf dem Zuführweg 9 zur Speichereinheit 3 gewendet, so dass er nach letzterer zur Weiterverarbeitung vorbereitet ist.
Das Druckprodukt 4 gelangt also wie gezeigt über den nach den dunklen Pfeilen markierten Zuführweg 9 in die Speichereinheiten 3, wobei der Zuführweg 9 einen kurvenartigen Zuführabschnitt 5 aufweist, der die Regelmässigkeit der lose übereinanderliegend zugeführten Druckprodukte 4 unerheblich beeinträchtigt.
Die Auslagerung aus dem Produktespeicher 2 bzw. den einzelnen Speichereinheiten 3 erfolgt in der Formation der zugeführten Druckprodukte 4 über eine gerade Auslagerungsstrecke 6, die eine Änderung an der Formation des abzurollenden Schuppenstromes vermeiden lässt, hin zu einer nächsten Verarbeitungsstation 7.
The device 1 shown in the single figure shows a product memory 2, which consists of two storage units 3, in the present case two wound scale formations Print products 4.
The loading of the known rolls as storage unit 2 takes place from the printing unit via a delivery station, not shown, at which the printed products 4 are placed in a shingled formation for their further movement.
Usually, the shingled stream leaving the printing station is turned on the feed path 9 to the storage unit 3, so that after the latter it is prepared for further processing.
As shown, the printed product 4 thus reaches the storage units 3 via the feed path 9 marked by the dark arrows, the feed path 9 having a curved feed section 5, which has a negligible effect on the regularity of the printed products 4 fed loosely one above the other.
The removal from the product storage 2 or the individual storage units 3 takes place in the formation of the printed products 4 supplied, via a straight removal section 6, which makes it possible to avoid a change in the formation of the scale stream to be unrolled, to a next processing station 7.

Auch dann, wenn es sich bei dieser nächstliegenden Verarbeitungsstation 7 bspw. (nur) um eine Vorrichtung zur Änderung der Förderrichtung und/oder der Schuppenformation handelt, so bedarf es keiner zusätzlichen Einflussnahme auf den Schuppenstrom. Wie gezeichnet ist eine Fördervorrichtung 8 in etwa rechtwinkliger Anordnungsweise zu der Auslagerungsstrecke 6 vorgesehen, die den Förderstrom umschichtet, so dass die Druckprodukte 4 nacheinander mit der seitlichen Öffnung übereinanderliegend und bspw. einem Anleger (nicht ersichtlich) zugeführt werden.
Die erfindungsgemässe Einrichtung 1 gestattet es, mehrere Speichereinheiten 3 gleichzeitig auszulagern, indem einer bzw. jeder Speichereinheit 3 eine Fördervorrichtung 8 zugeordnet wird; ein Kreuzen der Druckprodukte 4 oder die Benutzung eines Förderweges 9 durch mehrere Druckproduktelinien kann ausgeschlossen werden.
Alternativ kann eine Speichereinheit 3 auch verschiedenen Fördervorrichtungen 8 zugeteilt sein. Wie durch die unterbrochenen Förderabschnitte 5 und 6 angedeutet, kann eine Weiche zur Änderung der Förderwege benutzt werden.
Wie dargestellt können die Fördervorrichtungen 8 als Bänder ausgebildet und in zwei verschiedene Richtungen antriebsgesteuert sein.
Even if this closest processing station 7 is, for example, (only) a device for changing the conveying direction and / or the scale formation, no additional influence on the scale flow is required. As shown, a conveying device 8 is provided in an approximately right-angled arrangement with respect to the removal section 6, which rearranges the conveying flow, so that the printed products 4 are successively supplied with the lateral opening one above the other and, for example, to a feeder (not visible).
The device 1 according to the invention allows several To outsource storage units 3 at the same time by assigning a conveyor device 8 to each or each storage unit 3; a crossing of the printed products 4 or the use of a conveying path 9 through several printed product lines can be excluded.
Alternatively, a storage unit 3 can also be assigned to different conveying devices 8. As indicated by the interrupted conveyor sections 5 and 6, a switch can be used to change the conveying paths.
As shown, the conveyor devices 8 can be designed as belts and can be drive-controlled in two different directions.

Es ergibt sich wie erkennbar auch die Möglichkeit, die Fördervorrichtungen 8 auf unterschiedlichen Höhen, zum Beispiel übereinander oder versetzt anzuordnen, so dass der Förderfluss ungestört organisiert werden kann.As can be seen, there is also the possibility of arranging the conveying devices 8 at different heights, for example one above the other or offset, so that the conveying flow can be organized undisturbed.
