Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of the first, independent claim.
  • the process is used to discharge Print products from a flow and to form stacks from the ejected printed products.
  • the invention further relates to a device to carry out the procedure.
  • Print products are processed during their processing, for example between successive processing stations, mostly in the form of flow rates transported.
  • the printed products for example, are located in such flow rates on a conveyor surface one behind the other or overlapping each other (Scale flow) and are essentially parallel to their main surfaces conveyed or the printed products are individually by holding means for example, suspended substantially perpendicular to their major surfaces promoted.
  • Print products are collected into stacks for various processing (Intermediate storage, packaging) and then in stack form (bars, Parcels etc.) conveyed and / or processed.
  • devices for forming stacks form the end of Flow rates, that is, all of the print products fed into the flow rate are stacked.
  • the capacity of the stacks that convey or further process the stacks Devices is based on the delivery rate of the flow to be adapted or switches have to be installed beforehand in the flow, the flow to different stacking devices conduct.
  • the number of printed products that convey a device or further processing (e.g. strapping or packaging) of stacks can process per unit of time is essentially constant and the Feeder easy to handle as long as all the stacks formed are essentially include the same number of printed products. But should now stack with very different numbers of printed products are formed (e.g.
  • the flow in which the Printed products are fed a stream from across their major surfaces Printed products individually suspended from holding devices.
  • This flow is conveyed over a stacking surface, the stacking surface being such is arranged that it protrudes from below into the flow and that each of the Print products at least with its lower part temporarily to the Stacking surface or to a printed product already lying on the stacking surface is created.
  • Now you want a print product on the stacking surface forming stack will be added the moment it is on the Stacking surface abuts or immediately before, released from the holding means.
  • the released printed product, guided by the, falls through gravity Stacking area or of printed products already stacked on the stacking area down to a foot piece and gets up there.
  • Print products are subjected to gravity for further processing, for example, a packaging fed between film webs.
  • a packaging fed between film webs for example, a packaging fed between film webs.
  • the removal and stacking can be done in one process step be united.
  • products that not ejected, that is, not to be deposited on the stacking surface should not be released from the holding means in the area of the stacking surface but conveyed further by the holding means and thus over the stacking surface drawn.
  • the discharge and stacking can also be done in two separate steps are carried out in that in front of the stacking surface a switch is provided on which the printed products to be discharged ejected together with their holding means from the flow and are conveyed against the stacking surface while printed products that are not are rejected, conveyed on the original conveyor line will.
  • a switch is provided on which the printed products to be discharged ejected together with their holding means from the flow and are conveyed against the stacking surface while printed products that are not are rejected, conveyed on the original conveyor line will.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 schematically show the functional principle of the method according to the invention on the basis of successive stages of a conveying flow with a conveying direction F, in which conveying stream, depending on the holding means 1, printed products 2 are conveyed essentially transversely to their main surfaces. Individual printed products 2 are discharged from the conveying flow and conveyed on as a stack 3.
  • a stacking surface 4 projecting from below into the conveying flow is provided, the upper edge 4.1 (essentially perpendicular to the plane of the paper) lying in a plane lying parallel to the main surfaces of the printed products and at its lower end, which is positioned below the conveying flow, a foot piece 5 is arranged.
  • the stacking surface 4 can be oriented vertically or obliquely in such a way that its upper edge leads in the conveying direction F towards the lower end.
  • Figure 1 shows a section of the flow at a stage in which the printed product 2.1, which is held suspended by the holding means 1.1, has reached a position in which it rests on the stacking surface 4.
  • the printed product 2.1 should not be removed. For this reason, the holding means 1.1 passes the point above the stacking area without being opened and the printed product 2.1 is pulled over the stacking area.
  • Figure 2 shows the printed product 2.1, which has passed the stacking surface 4 and is being conveyed on.
  • the following printed product 2.2 which is conveyed by the holding means 1.2, has now reached the stacking surface 4. Since the printed product 2.2 is to be discharged, the holding means 1.2 is opened and the printed product 2.2 is guided downwards from the stacking surface 4 until it stands on the foot piece 5 (FIG. 3).
  • FIG. 3 shows how a further following printed product 2.3 is also deposited on the stacking surface 4 or on the printed product 2.2 already resting on the stacking surface, by opening the holding means 1.3.
  • FIG. 4 shows how, by moving the foot piece 5, the stack 3, which has formed on the stacking surface 4 and which in the example shown consists of the printed products 2.2 and 2.3, is conveyed further by gravity (arrow W), for which a suitable, not shown leadership is to be provided.
  • the stack area is thereby empty and, when the foot piece 5 is brought back into its original position (arrow R), ready for the formation of a new stack, which begins, for example, by the illustrated discharge of the following printed product 2.4.
  • stacks consisting of a plurality of Print products exist, also individual print products (stacks with only a printed product) from the stacking surface 4 and further processed will.
  • the printed products are shown schematically as once folded sheet with a folded edge that is directed upwards, the means is held by the holding means.
  • the means is held by the holding means.
  • other print products can be handled, for example made up of several folded ones Sheet exist, or printed products that are multi-sided and are stapled or bound.
  • the printed products can be used with the Folded edge or the stapled or bound back towards the top, against promoted below or laterally.
  • the main advantage of the method according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 1 4 to 4 is that it is so simple and that for its implementation necessary device is also very simple.
  • This device consists essentially of a conveyor line, for example as a transport chain with grabs for hanging conveying of individual printed products, and one or more stacking surfaces with a sliding foot piece or another suitable one Means for removing a stack formed on the stacking surface.
  • Further control means are to be provided with which the grippers are in one position in the area can be opened above the stacking surface, and if necessary Guide means with which printed products are guided out of open grippers with which an uncontrolled dragging of the printed products through the moving gripper is avoided.
  • a guide is, for example, a guide backdrop or a guide band and is used for those to be diverted Products moved in the flow (see Figure 5) or is arranged stationary in cases where all printed products are rejected will.
  • FIG. 5 shows an exemplary embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • This has a chain 10 (shown schematically by a line) which is moved in the conveying direction F over a conveying path.
  • Equidistant grippers (holding means 1) are arranged on the chain 10, on which folded printed products 2 are conveyed suspended over a stacking surface 4.
  • a means 11 for opening the grippers is installed above the stacking surface 4, which means 11 can be controlled for the individual opening of predetermined grippers.
  • the conveyor line (course of the transport chain 10) can facilitate the Further promotion of non-rejectable print products in the area Turn the stacking surface 4 upwards, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • the stacking surface 4 and the foot piece 5 of the device shown in FIG. 5 correspond to the implementation of the method according to the invention the stacking surface and the foot piece of Figures 1 to 4. Also for relief the further conveyance of the non-rejecting printed products the stacking surface 4 can be displaced in height (for example parallel to their orientation) can be arranged, as indicated by the double arrow V. is.
  • a stackable surface 4 which is displaceable in this way is used for a discharge surface Print product into an upper one, for a print product that cannot be discharged shifted to a lower position, which is why with a corresponding controllable drive is operatively connected.
  • FIG. 5 also shows guide means 16 for guiding those to be discharged Printed products from open grippers.
  • These guide means are like this to design that they are in the flow for printed products to be discharged movable and for non-rejecting printed products from the Flow are removable.
  • they are realized as a pair of Guide cylinders, which are arranged on both sides of the gripper and in their extended position ( Figure 5) a printed product from an open Guide the gripper and do not discharge it in its retracted position Let print products pass.
  • FIG. 6 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the conveyor line is implemented as a rail 12 or rail arrangement (shown schematically as a line) on which individual transport means 13, each carrying a holding means 1, for example a gripper, can be transported individually.
  • the rail 12 branches in a controllable switch point 14 into a rail 12.1 for the further conveyance of transport and holding means with printed products which cannot be discharged and into a rail 12.2 which leads over the stacking surface and onto which transport and holding means which convey printed products to be discharged are guided.
  • the rail 12.2 can for example be directed downwards and a controllable one Locking means 15, for example in the form of a controllable release, Clock and counter wheel, on which locking means by the Gravity-fed means of transport are stopped and buffered and release against the means 11 for opening the holding means 1 as required will. Since on the rail 12.2 only to be discharged and on the stacking surface 4 to be stacked printed products, all holding means must be 1 are opened above the stacking surface, so that the means 11 for Opening does not have to be controllable. For example, it can be used as a stationary Control link be formed with the corresponding control roles on the Holding means cooperated.
  • the stacking area shown in FIG. 6 corresponds essentially to that Stacking surface as described in connection with Figures 1 to 4 has been. Since none according to the variant shown in FIG. 6 is not sufficient printed products to be discharged from the flow via the stacking surface 4 must be pulled, this can take a position that is for the ejection is optimal, but covering printed products is impossible.
