Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Druckprodukten in einen Förderkanal, in dem die Druckprodukte mit Mitnehmern eines Förderorgans in Abständen transportiert werden, mit Mitteln zum Vorbeschleunigen der zugeführten Druckprodukte in der Transportrichtung des Förderkanals.The invention relates to a device for feeding Printed products in a conveyor channel in which the printed products transported with drivers of a conveyor at intervals be, with means for pre-accelerating the supplied Printed products in the transport direction of the conveyor channel.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist im Stand der Technik aus der EP 0 738 682 A bekannt geworden. Diese Vorrichtung dient zum Einlegen von Beilagen in einen sogenannten Einsteckkanal, in dem eine Förderkette angeordnet ist, die in regelmässigen Abständen fingerförmige, in den Einsteckkanal ragende Mitnehmer aufweist. Die Beilagen werden mit einer Abzugstrommel von einem Stapel abgezogen und mit Bändern vertikal zur Transportrichtung des Einsteckkanals zwei rotierenden Vakuumscheiben zugeführt. Die in gleichen Richtungen rotierenden und im wesentlichen horizontalen Vakuumscheiben sind jeweils mit einer Ansaugöffnung versehen, die jeweils in einem Bereich von etwa 90° mit einem Saugkanal verbunden sind. Beide Vakuumscheiben befinden sich jeweils etwa zur Hälfte im Einsteckkanal. Die zuzuführenden Beilagen werden mit den genannten Bändern an die beiden Vakuumscheiben übergeben und an den Ansaugöffnungen erfasst. Durch die Rotation der beiden Vakuumscheiben wird der erfassten Beilage jeweils eine translatorische Bewegung aufgezwungen, durch welche sie in der Transportrichtung des Einsteckkanals vorbeschleunigt wird. Durch die Vorbeschleunigung lässt sich der Beschleunigungsstoss durch die Mitnehmer an der nachlaufenden Kante der Druckprodukte vermindern.A device of this type is known from the prior art EP 0 738 682 A has become known. This device is used for Inserting inserts in a so-called insertion channel, in a conveyor chain is arranged at regular intervals Finger-shaped drivers protruding into the insertion channel having. The inserts are made with a take-off drum from one Stack peeled off and taped vertically to the direction of transport of the insertion channel two rotating vacuum disks fed. The rotating in the same direction and essentially horizontal vacuum discs are each with a Provide suction opening, each in a range of approximately 90 ° are connected to a suction channel. Both vacuum disks are about half each in the insertion channel. The Supplements to be fed are attached to the above mentioned tapes handed over to two vacuum disks and recorded at the suction openings. By rotating the two vacuum disks, the each insert a translatory movement is forced, through which they are in the transport direction of the insertion channel is accelerated. By pre-acceleration the acceleration shock can be carried out by the drivers on the Reduce the trailing edge of the printed products.

Da die rotierenden Vakuumscheiben die Produkte ausschliesslich an einer Aussenseite saugend erfassen können, ist es mit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung nur möglich, leichte und stabile Einzelblätter und solche in einem beschränkten Formatbereich zu verarbeiten.Because the rotating vacuum discs the products exclusively can suck on an outside, it is with this known device only possible, light and stable Single sheets and those in a limited format range to process.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die eine formatunabhängige Verarbeitung auch labiler Druckprodukte gestattet.The invention has for its object a device to create a kind of format-independent Processing of unstable printed products permitted.

Die Aufgabe ist bei einer gattungsgemässen Vorrichtung dadurch gelöst, dass die genannten Mittel die Druckprodukte jeweils im wesentlichen linear fördern und schräg zur Transportrichtung dem wenigstens eine Führungswand aufweisenden Förderkanal zuführen. Durch die schräge Transportrichtung der Druckprodukte lässt sich ein kürzerer Mitnehmerabstand als bei einer senkrechten Transportrichtung resp. eine geringere Transportgeschwindigkeit verwirklichen. Die schräge Zuführung hat ausser der Vorbeschleunigung in Transportrichtung des Förderkanals auch eine Verkleinerung der rechtwinklig zum Kanal verlaufenden Geschwindigkeitskomponente zur Folge. Damit wird der Beschleunigungsstoss durch die Mitnehmer an der nachlaufenden Kante der Druckprodukte verkleinert. Durch die Reduktion der Geschwindigkeitskomponente rechtwinklig zum Förderkanal wird die Auftreffgeschwindigkeit der Druckprodukte an der gegenüberliegenden Führungswand vermindert. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung wird auch darin gesehen, dass sie sich sowohl für Beilagen als auch für Hauptprodukte eignet.The task is in a generic device solved that the means mentioned in each of the printed products convey substantially linearly and at an angle to the direction of transport feed the delivery channel having at least one guide wall. Due to the oblique transport direction of the printed products can be a shorter driver distance than a vertical Transport direction resp. a lower transport speed realize. The inclined feed has the pre-acceleration in the transport direction of the conveyor channel also a reduction in the size of those running at right angles to the canal Speed component result. This is the acceleration surge by the carriers on the trailing Edge of the printed products reduced. By reducing the Velocity component becomes perpendicular to the delivery channel the impact speed of the printed products on the opposite Guide wall reduced. A major advantage the device according to the invention is also seen in that they are suitable for both side dishes and main products suitable.

Werden die Druckprodukte gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung mittels schräg angeordneten Förderbändern in den Förderkanal eingeschossen, so können sowohl vergleichsweise dünne Einzelblätter als auch dicke Hauptprodukte dem Förderkanal bzw. den passierenden Druckprodukten zugeführt werden.Are the printed products according to a further development of the invention by means of obliquely arranged conveyor belts in the conveyor channel shot, so both comparatively thin Single sheets as well as thick main products the conveying channel or the passing print products.

Ist gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Antrieb der Förderbänder direkt in einen Trommelanleger integriert, ergeben sich besonders gute ergonomische Verhältnisse zum manuellen Beschicken des Anlegers. Durch einen sehr kleinen Abstand zwischen der Anlegerachse und dem Förderkanal ist eine manuelle Beschickung und Bedienung von der Kanalseite aus möglich. Diese Integration ist konstruktiv besonders vorteilhaft und zuverlässig, wenn gemäss einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung schräg angeordnete Rollen an einer Abzugstrommel vorgesehen sind und die Druckprodukte durch diese Rollen schräg zur Transportrichtung des Förderkanals transportiert werden. Vorzugsweise sind um diese schräggestellten Rollen jeweils in derselben Flucht innere und äussere Bänder angeordnet, welche die Druckprodukte in den Förderkanal transportieren. Vorzugsweise werden die schrägen Rollen durch parallel zur Drehachse der Abzugstrommel verlaufende Führungsstangen mitgenommen. Ein Trommelanleger dieser Art vermittelt u.a. die EP - A - 1'024'099.According to a further development, it drives the conveyor belts integrated directly into a drum feeder are particularly impressive good ergonomic conditions for manual loading of the investor. By a very small distance between the The feed axis and the feed channel is a manual feed and operation possible from the channel side. This integration is structurally particularly advantageous and reliable if according to a further development of the invention slanted rollers are provided on a take-off drum and the print products are inclined by these rollers Transport direction of the conveyor channel can be transported. Preferably are around in these inclined roles inner and outer ligaments arranged in the same flight, which transport the printed products into the conveyor channel. Preferably, the inclined rollers are parallel to Guide rods running along the axis of rotation of the take-off drum. A drum feeder of this type provides, among other things, the EP - A - 1,024,099.

Each of the belts 19 works with a lower belt 20 together, around two spaced rollers 22 and 23 is laid and also in the flight mentioned runs obliquely to shaft 6. The tapes 20 are each against one of the inclined rollers 16 are tensioned and by this or driven by the adjacent belt 19. The lower bands 20 can also be driven separately via the roller 23. With the tapes 19 and 20, the peeled print products 5 each after a deflection of about 150 ° of the gripper disc 7 at the points designated in FIG. 1 with 24 and transported according to FIG. 2 in the direction of arrow 47. When grasping a sheet 5 by the tapes 19 and 20 is this sheet 5 is completely removed from the stack 4 and by a not shown, parallel to the circumference of the gripper drum ongoing executive body; become at the same time the grippers 8 opened. The printed sheet 5 thus captured becomes transported by belts 19 and 20.

Die Transportrichtung der von den Bändern 19 und 20 transportierten Druckbogen 5 ist in Fig. 2 durch die gestrichelte Linie 48 angedeutet. Der Transport erfolgt linear und in einem Winkel α schräg zur Transportrichtung bzw. in Längsrichtung eines Förderkanals 25, der insbesondere ein Einsteckkanal ist. Der Winkel α beträgt 20 bis 40° und vorzugsweise etwa 30°. Der in den Fig. 1 und 2 lediglich abschnittsweise gezeigte Förderkanal 25 ist oben offen und weist einen Boden 53 mit wenigstens einer seitlichen Führungswand 26 auf. Unterhalb des Bodens 53 verläuft ein endloses Transportorgan 28, insbesondere eine Kette, die in regelmässigen Abständen entsprechend einer bestimmten Teilung Mitnehmer 29 aufweist, die durch einen Längsschlitz 27 in den Förderkanal 25 ragen. Die Mitnehmer 29 dienen zum Transport der Druckprodukte 5 in Förderkanal 25. In den Fig. 1 und 2 werden die Druckprodukte in Richtung des Pfeils 52, d.h. von rechts nach links transportiert. Entsprechend bewegen sich die Mitnehmer 29 im Förderkanal 25 in Richtung des Pfeils 52. Die eine Längsrichtung des Förderkanals 25 entspricht somit der Transportrichtung. Wie insbesondere Fig. 2 zeigt, sind die schrägen Rollen 16 in der Transportrichtung gemäss Pfeil 52 geneigt. Der Transport der Druckprodukte 5 in den Förderkanal 25 erfolgt gemäss Fig. 2 mit einer Geschwindigkeit V1, welche sich durch die Geschwindigkeitskomponenten V2 und V3 ergibt. Durch den schrägen Transport der Druckprodukte 5 werden diese somit in der Transportrichtung des Förderkanals 25 vorbeschleunigt. Mit zunehmendem Winkel α wird die Geschwindigkeit V2 in Transportrichtung grösser und die Geschwindigkeit quer zur Transportrichtung kleiner. Die Grösse der Vorbeschleunigung kann somit durch eine Aenderung des Winkels α verstellt werden.The direction of transport of those transported by belts 19 and 20 Print sheet 5 is in Fig. 2 by the dashed line 48 indicated. The transport is linear and in one Angle α oblique to the transport direction or in the longitudinal direction a conveyor channel 25, which is in particular an insertion channel. The angle α is 20 to 40 ° and preferably approximately 30 °. The 1 and 2 only partially shown conveyor channel 25 is open at the top and has a bottom 53 with at least a lateral guide wall 26. Below the floor 53 runs an endless transport member 28, in particular a chain that at regular intervals corresponding to a determined division driver 29, which by a Project longitudinal slot 27 into the feed channel 25. The drivers 29 serve to transport the printed products 5 in the conveying channel 25 1 and 2, the printed products in the direction of Arrow 52, i.e. transported from right to left. Corresponding the drivers 29 move in the conveying channel 25 in the direction of arrow 52. The one longitudinal direction of the conveying channel 25 corresponds to the direction of transport. As in particular Fig. 2 shows, the oblique rollers 16 are in the transport direction inclined according to arrow 52. Transport of printed products 5 in The conveyor channel 25 takes place according to FIG. 2 at a speed V1, which is characterized by the speed components V2 and V3 results. Through the diagonal transport of the printed products 5 they are thus in the transport direction of the conveyor channel 25 pre-accelerated. With increasing angle α becomes the speed V2 in the transport direction is greater and the Lower speed across the direction of transport. The size The pre-acceleration can thus be changed by changing the angle α can be adjusted.

Bei der Vorrichtung 2 gemäss den Fig. 3 und 4 ist ein Förderkanal 25' vorgesehen, in dem das oben genannte Transportorgan 28 angeordnet ist. Die Mitnehmer 29 sind vergleichsweise breite plattenförmige Glieder 30 einer endlosen Plattenkette 54, die gelenkig miteinander verbunden sind.In the device 2 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 there is a delivery channel 25 'provided in which the above-mentioned transport member 28 is arranged. The drivers 29 are comparatively wide plate-shaped links 30 of an endless plate chain 54, which are hinged together.

Zum Einschiessen von Druckprodukten 5 in den Förderkanal 25' sind zwei Bandgruppen 37 und 40 vorgesehen, die an einem Gestell 36 gelagert und vorzugsweise unabhängig voneinander angetrieben sind. Die Bandgruppe 37 fördert die Druckprodukte 5 quer zur Transportrichtung des Förderkanals 25' und weist untere Bänder 38 auf, die jeweils mit einem oberen Band 39 zusammenarbeiten. Die Druckprodukte 5 werden von dieser Bandgruppe 37 von einem hier nicht gezeigten Anleger oder von einer anderen Maschine, beispielsweise von einem Trimmer übernommen. Die Druckprodukte 5 können Beilagen, beispielsweise einzelne Druckbogen oder auch Hauptprodukte, beispielsweise Zeitungen, Zeitschriften oder dergleichen sein. Die Druckprodukte 5 werden von der Bandgruppe 37 der Bandgruppe 40 übergeben, welche die Druckprodukte 5 in Richtung des Pfeils 36 schräg zur Transportrichtung des Förderkanals 25' fördert. Das Format der Druckprodukte 5 kann unterschiedlich sein, es können somit auch Druckprodukte 5' mit einem mittleren Format oder sogar Druckprodukte 5'' mit einem vergleichsweise sehr kleinen Format ohne Aenderung der Vorrichtung in den Förderkanal 25' eingelegt werden. Um die Umlenkung nach Winkel α der Druckprodukte 5 über den ganzen Formatbereich sicherzustellen, können die Oberbänder 39 der Bandgruppe 37 in Laufrichtung verstellt werden, sodass bei jedem Format das Druckprodukt 5 am hinteren Ende von der Bandgruppe 37 freigegeben wird, bevor es von der Bandgruppe 40 am Bund erfasst wird. Im vorderen Bereich erfolgt der Transport der Druckprodukte 5 durch obere Bänder 42 und gegenüberliegenden Rollen 44, die an einem teleskopierbaren Träger 45 gelagert sind. Die oberen Bänder 42 sind durch eine gemeinsame Antriebswelle 41 angetrieben und jeweils an einem vorderen Ende um eine Rolle 43 gelegt. Diese Rollen 43 sind gemäss Fig. 4 so angeordnet, dass das jeweilige obere Band 42 den Träger 45 überragt. Der separate Antrieb der Antriebswelle 41, beispielsweise mittels eines hier nicht gezeigten geregelten Elektromotors, ermöglicht es, die Druckprodukte 5 im Bereich der Bandgruppe 40 beschleunigt/verzögert zu transportieren. Durch eine Verzögerung kann der Aufprall der Druckprodukte 5 an der seitlichen Führungswand 26 des Förderkanals vermindert werden. Die Druckprodukte 5 können somit mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit zwischen die Mitnehmer 29 transportiert und kurz vor dem Auftreffen an der Führungswand 26 verzögert werden. Die Druckbogen 5 können dadurch mit erhöhter Geschwindigkeit oder schonend in den Förderkanal 25' eingeschossen werden. Zur weiteren Schonung der Druckbogen 5' kann die Führungswand 26 durch ein mit der Geschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer 29 umlaufendes, dämpfendes Band 26' ausgebildet sein. Dieses Band 26' verhindert den Abbremseffekt an der Führungswand 26.
Anhand der Fig. 5 bis 7 wird das Einschiessen der Druckprodukte 5 in den Förderkanal 25 sowie der Transport in diesen Förderkanal 25 anhand der Vorrichtung 1 näher erläutert. Der Ablauf gilt aber grundsätzlich auch für die Vorrichtung 2.In order to shoot printed products 5 into the conveying channel 25 ', two belt groups 37 and 40 are provided, which are mounted on a frame 36 and are preferably driven independently of one another. The belt group 37 conveys the printed products 5 transversely to the transport direction of the conveying channel 25 ′ and has lower belts 38, which each work together with an upper belt 39. The printed products 5 are taken over by this band group 37 from a feeder (not shown here) or from another machine, for example a trimmer. The printed products 5 can be supplements, for example individual printed sheets or also main products, for example newspapers, magazines or the like. The printed products 5 are transferred from the belt group 37 to the belt group 40, which conveys the printed products 5 in the direction of the arrow 36 at an angle to the transport direction of the conveying channel 25 '. The format of the print products 5 can be different, so that print products 5 'with a medium format or even print products 5''with a comparatively very small format can also be inserted into the conveying channel 25' without changing the device. In order to ensure the deflection according to the angle α of the printed products 5 over the entire format range, the upper belts 39 of the belt group 37 can be adjusted in the running direction, so that with each format the printed product 5 at the rear end is released by the belt group 37 before it is released by the belt group 40 is recorded at the federal government. In the front area, the printed products 5 are transported by upper belts 42 and opposite rollers 44, which are mounted on a telescopic carrier 45. The upper belts 42 are driven by a common drive shaft 41 and are each placed around a roller 43 at a front end. 4, the rollers 43 are arranged such that the respective upper band 42 projects above the carrier 45. The separate drive of the drive shaft 41, for example by means of a regulated electric motor (not shown here), makes it possible to transport the printed products 5 in the area of the belt group 40 in an accelerated / decelerated manner. The impact of the printed products 5 on the lateral guide wall 26 of the conveying channel can be reduced by a delay. The printed products 5 can thus be transported at an increased speed between the drivers 29 and decelerated shortly before hitting the guide wall 26. The printed sheets 5 can thereby be shot into the conveying channel 25 'at increased speed or gently. To further protect the printed sheets 5 ', the guide wall 26 can be formed by a damping belt 26' rotating at the speed of the drivers 29. This band 26 ′ prevents the braking effect on the guide wall 26.
5 to 7, the shooting of the printed products 5 into the conveying channel 25 and the transport into this conveying channel 25 are explained in more detail using the device 1. In principle, however, the sequence also applies to device 2.

Wie die Fig. 5. zeigt, werden die Druckprodukte 5 durch die Bänder 19 und 20 schräg zur Transportrichtung des Förderkanals 25 gefördert, wobei der vorlaufende Bund 5a immer parallel ist zur Transportrichtung gemäss Pfeil 35. Bei der Vorrichtung 2 erfolgt der Transport der Druckprodukte 5 in gleicher Weise, jedoch durch die Bänder 42. Der Transport der Druckprodukte 5 erfolgt synchron zum Transportorgan 28 und ist so eingestellt, dass ein Druckprodukt 5 jeweils zwischen einen vorlaufenden Mitnehmer 29' und einen nachlaufenden Mitnehmer 29 eingeschossen wird.5 shows, the printed products 5 by the Belts 19 and 20 at an angle to the transport direction of the conveyor channel 25 promoted, the leading bundle 5a is always parallel to the direction of transport according to arrow 35. With device 2 the print products 5 are transported in the same way, but through the belts 42. The transport of the printed products 5 takes place synchronously to the transport member 28 and is set so that a printed product 5 each between a leading one Driver 29 'and a trailing driver 29 shot becomes.

Die Fig. 6 zeigt eine Stellung, bei welcher das Druckprodukt 5 sich bereits weitgehend im Förderkanal 25 befindet, wobei der Bund 5a die Führungswand 26 jedoch noch nicht erreicht hat. Infolge des schrägen Einschusses bewegt sich das Druckprodukt 5 mit der Geschwindigkeit V2 in der Transportrichtung des Förderkanals 25. Das Druckprodukt 5 ist somit in Transportrichtung gemäss Pfeil 35 vorbeschleunigt. Die Einschussgeschwindigkeit V1 kann wie oben erläutert bei der Vorrichtung 2 in der in Fig. 6 gezeigten Phase erhöht sein. Diese Erhöhung der Einschussgeschwindigkeit ermöglicht eine noch kleinere Teilung, d.h. einen noch kleineren Abstand zwischen den benachbarten Mitnehmern 29 und 29'.6 shows a position in which the printed product 5 is already largely in the delivery channel 25, the Bund 5a has not yet reached the guide wall 26. As a result of the oblique margin, the printed product moves 5 with the speed V2 in the transport direction of the conveyor channel 25. The printed product 5 is thus in the transport direction Accelerated according to arrow 35. The bullet speed As explained above, V1 can be used in device 2 in 6 may be increased. This increase in Bullet speed allows an even smaller division, i.e. an even smaller distance between the neighboring ones Carriers 29 and 29 '.

Die Fig. 7 zeigt die Stellung, in welcher das Druckprodukt 5 mit dem Bund 5a an der Führungswand 26 anliegt und gleichzeitig durch den Mitnehmer 29 einen Beschleunigungsstoss erhält, damit es weiter in Transportrichtung des Förderkanals 25 beschleunigt wird. Durch die oben genannte Vorbeschleunigung wird der Beschleunigungsstoss durch den Mitnehmer 29 vermindert. Durch den schrägen Einschuss wird zudem der Aufprall des Bundes 5a an der Führungswand reduziert. Wird, wie oben erläutert, das Druckprodukt 5 kurz vor dem Aufprall auf die Führungswand 26 verzögert, so wird dieser Aufprall noch weiter vermindert. Sind die Mitnehmer 29 gemäss Fig. 3 und 4 vergleichsweise breit ausgebildet, so sind die Druckprodukte 5 im Förderkanal 25 besonders sicher geführt. Der Beschleunigungsstoss verteilt sich auf eine grössere Breite, was zu einer schonenderen Behandlung der Druckprodukte 5 führt. Wie oben erläutert, kann das Druckprodukt 5 ein Hauptprodukt oder auch eine Beilage sein, das in ein Hauptprodukt eingelegt wird. Hauptprodukte, in die eine Beilage eingeschossen wird, werden in an sich bekannter Weise geöffnet transportiert. Eine zuverlässige Oeffnung erlauben besonders die in den Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigten abgewinkelten Mitnehmer 29. Ist der Förderkanal 25' gemäss den Fig. 3 und 4 zur Führungswand 26 hin geneigt, so richten sich die eingeschossenen Druckprodukte 5 in diesen Förderkanal 25' besonders zuverlässig selber aus. Wie insbesondere Fig. 7 zeigt, ist das eingeschossene Druckprodukt 5 bis kurz vor dem Aufprall an der Führungswand 26 durch die Bänder 19 geführt. Bei der Vorrichtung 2 sind es die Bänder 42.7 shows the position in which the printed product 5 with the collar 5a on the guide wall 26 and at the same time receives an acceleration surge from the driver 29, so that it accelerates further in the transport direction of the conveyor channel 25 becomes. By the above-mentioned pre-acceleration the acceleration shock is reduced by the driver 29. Due to the sloping bullet, the impact of the Federal 5a reduced on the guide wall. As explained above, the printed product 5 shortly before impact on the guide wall Delayed 26, this impact will continue reduced. Are the drivers 29 according to FIGS. 3 and 4 comparatively wide, so the printed products 5 in Conveying channel 25 guided particularly safely. The acceleration surge spreads over a larger width, resulting in a gentler treatment of the printed products 5 leads. As above explained, the printed product 5 can be a main product or also a side dish that is inserted into a main product. Main products into which a supplement is shot are transported open in a conventional manner. A reliable one 3 and 4 in particular allow opening shown angled driver 29. Is the delivery channel 25 ' 3 and 4 inclined towards the guide wall 26, so are the injected printed products 5 in this Conveying channel 25 'is particularly reliable itself. How in particular 7 shows the printed product 5 that has been injected until shortly before the impact on the guide wall 26 through the Bands 19 out. In device 2 it is the tapes 42nd
