Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Aufteilen eines Schuppenstromes aus jeweils übereinanderliegenden Nutzen in zwei durch Abheben gebildete Teilströme mit zwei Fördereinrich­tungen in Form von Transportbändern.The invention relates to a device for dividing a stream of shingles from superimposed benefits into two partial streams formed by lifting with two conveyors in the form of conveyor belts.

Im Druckereiwesen kommt es in der Praxis häufig vor, daß aus einem Papierbogen zwei (oder mehr) sogenannte Nutzen hergestellt werden. Nachdem dieser Papierbogen, z. B. in einer Offsetdruck­maschine, entsprechend bedruckt worden ist, wird er mehrfach ge­faltet und geschnitten, sodaß im Endeffekt zwei gefaltete Nutzen -jeweils aus einem halben ursprünglichen Bogen bestehend - über­einanderliegen. Dabei kommt es vor, daß der obere Nutzen in be­zug auf den unteren Nutzen verkehrt liegt, d. h., daß z. B. der untere die Faltung links und der obere die Faltung rechts hat.In the printing industry it often happens in practice that two (or more) so-called benefits are produced from one sheet of paper. After this paper sheet, e.g. B. in an offset printing machine, has been appropriately printed, it is folded and cut several times, so that in the end two folded benefits - each consisting of half an original sheet - lie on top of each other. It happens that the upper benefit is wrong in relation to the lower benefit, i. that is, e.g. B. the lower one has the fold on the left and the upper one has the fold on the right.

Da es gewöhnlich notwendig ist, daß die Nutzen einheitlich übereinanderliegen, ist es nötig, die beiden verkehrt überein­anderliegenden Nutzen zu trennen und getrennt zu sammeln. Dieses Trennen bzw. Auseinanderlegen wird derzeit händisch durchgeführt und in den Druckereien als "Auszupfen" bezeichnet. Dieses Aus­zupfen bedingt klarerweise relativ hohe Personalkosten.Since it is usually necessary for the benefits to be uniformly one above the other, it is necessary to separate the two wrongly superimposed benefits and to collect them separately. This separation or disassembly is currently carried out manually and is called "plucking" in the printing works. This plucking clearly requires relatively high personnel costs.

Während gemäß der CH-PS 655 489 ein zulaufender Schuppenstrom aus zwei Formationen vorausgesetzt wird, die bereits seitlich etwas zueinander versetzt sind, geht die Erfindung von dem in der Praxis häufig anzutreffenden Zustand aus, daß in einem Schuppenstrom die Nutzen (z. B. paarweise) deckungsgleich übereinanderliegen.While according to CH-PS 655 489 an incoming scale flow from two formations is assumed, which are already slightly offset from one another laterally, the invention is based on the condition frequently encountered in practice that the benefits (e.g. in pairs ) lie congruently one above the other.

Die weiters bekannte CH-PS 663 604 betrifft eine Umlenkein­richtung für einen Schuppenstrom, insbesondere von in geschupp­ter Lage zu transportierenden Heften oder Bogen (Nutzen). Dabei schließen mehrere Förderstrecken aneinander. Eine Teilstrecke ist als Weiche ausgebildet und abklappbar sowie in der Förder­richtung umschaltbar. Damit läßt sich beispielsweise eine Umlen­kung des Schuppenstromes um 180° erreichen.The further known CH-PS 663 604 relates to a deflection device for a shingled stream, in particular of booklets or sheets to be transported in a shingled position (benefit). Several conveyor lines are connected. A section is designed as a switch and can be folded down and switched in the conveying direction. This can be used, for example, to deflect the scale flow by 180 °.

Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Aufteilen eines Schuppenstromes aus übereinanderliegenden Nutzen zu schaffen, die insbesondere auch deckungsgleich über­einanderliegende Nutzen automatisch trennen kann.It is an object of the present invention to provide a device for dividing a stream of shingles from superimposed uses, which can in particular also automatically separate superimposed uses.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Vorrichtung der eingangs ge­nannten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß über dem denThis object is achieved according to the invention by a device of the type mentioned above in that the

Schuppenstrom der Nutzen tragenden Transportband das zweite Transportband, der Oberfläche der Nutzen benachbart und mit ei­ner mit Unterdruck beaufschlagbaren Lochperforierung ausgebil­det, vorgesehen ist und daß die Transportrichtungen der Trans­portbänder einen spitzen Winkel zueinander einschließen.Shingled stream of the conveyor belt carrying the benefits, the second conveyor belt, which is adjacent to the surface of the panels and is provided with a perforated perforation which can be subjected to negative pressure, is provided and that the directions of transport of the conveyor belts form an acute angle to one another.

Wenn die übereinanderliegenden Nutzen auf dem unteren Trans­portband zu der Stelle kommen, wo das obere Transportband be­ginnt, wird der obere Nutzen von letzterem angesaugt und seit­lich weggezogen, sodaß die beiden Nutzen getrennt werden.When the superimposed panels on the lower conveyor belt come to the place where the upper conveyor belt begins, the upper panel is sucked in by the latter and pulled away to the side, so that the two panels are separated.

Zweckmäßig ist der Abstand zwischen den beiden Transport­bändern einstellbar. Er soll zweckmäßigerweise so eingestellt werden, daß er geringfügig größer als die Höhe der übereinander­liegenden Nutzen ist, sodaß einerseits diese leicht zwischen die Transportbänder gelangen können, anderseits aber der obere Nutzen leicht angesaugt werden kann.The distance between the two conveyor belts is expediently adjustable. It should expediently be set so that it is slightly larger than the height of the superimposed benefits, so that on the one hand they can easily get between the conveyor belts, but on the other hand the upper benefit can be easily sucked in.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das untere Transportband zumindest doppelt so breit wie das obere und ist das obere Transportband vollständig oder wenigstens mit dem Be­reich, in dem die Lochperforierung mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt wird, innerhalb der Breite des unteren Transportbandes ange­ordnet. Dadurch wird erreicht, daß der obere Nutzen, nachdem er seitlich versetzt wurde, wieder auf dem unteren Transport­band abgelegt wird, sodaß schließlich die beiden Nutzen neben­einander weitertransportiert und gestapelt werden können.According to one embodiment of the invention, the lower conveyor belt is at least twice as wide as the upper one and the upper conveyor belt is arranged completely or at least within the width of the lower conveyor belt with the area in which the perforated perforation is subjected to negative pressure. It is thereby achieved that the upper panel, after it has been displaced laterally, is deposited again on the lower conveyor belt, so that the two panels can finally be transported next to one another and stacked.

In diesem Fall ist es zweckmäßig, wenn das untere Transport­band in dem Teil seiner Breite, wo das obere Transportband be­ginnt, eine Lochperforierung aufweist. Dadurch wird der untere Nutzen angesaugt, sodaß er nicht leicht verschoben werden kann; der obere Nutzen wird hingegen vom unteren Transportband nicht angesaugt, weil er auf dem unteren Nutzen liegt, sodaß er vom oberen Transportband seitlich versetzt werden kann.In this case, it is expedient if the lower conveyor belt has a perforation in the part of its width where the upper conveyor belt begins. This draws in the bottom panel so that it cannot be easily moved; the upper panel, however, is not sucked in by the lower conveyor belt because it lies on the lower panel, so that it can be moved laterally by the upper conveyor belt.

Während und nach der seitlichen Versetzung liegt der obere Nutzen zwar in zunehmendem Maß direkt auf dem unteren Transport­band auf, jedoch hat dieses dort normalerweise keine Lochperfo­rierung, sodaß die seitliche Bewegung nicht behindert wird. Ist dort eine Lochperforierung vorgesehen, um den oberen Nutzen nach dem seitlichen Versetzen auf dem unteren Transportband zu fixieren, dann sollte die Lochperforierung im Bereich des oberen Transportbandes nicht mit Unterdruck beaufschlagtsein, damit das seitliche Versetzen nicht behindert wird.During and after the lateral displacement, the upper benefit lies to an increasing extent directly on the lower conveyor belt, but this does not normally have perforated holes there, so that the lateral movement is not hindered. If there is a perforation in the hole to fix the upper panel on the lower conveyor belt after moving it laterally, the perforation should be in the area of the upper one Do not apply negative pressure to the conveyor belt so that lateral displacement is not hindered.

Günstigerweise ist die Geschwindigkeit des oberen Trans­portbandes in bezug auf die des unteren Transportbandes einstell­bar. Die Geschwindigkeit wird je nachdem, wie stark die jeweils übereinanderliegenden Nutzen mit den nächsten übereinanderlie­genden Nutzen überlappen, eingestellt. Je stärker sie überlappen, umso schneller soll sich das obere Transportband bewegen, damit die oberen Nutzen mit einer ausreichend großen Fläche am oberen Transportband anliegen.The speed of the upper conveyor belt is advantageously adjustable in relation to that of the lower conveyor belt. The speed is set depending on the extent to which the superimposed benefits overlap with the next superimposed benefits. The more they overlap, the faster the upper conveyor belt should move so that the upper panels lie on the upper conveyor belt with a sufficiently large area.

Zum besseren Verständnis der Erfindung wird ein Ausführungs­beispiel anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert.For a better understanding of the invention, an embodiment is explained in more detail with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematische Draufsicht auf die erfindungs­gemäße Vorrichtung, Fig. 2 eine Schnittansicht nach der Linie II-II in Fig. 1, Fig. 3 eine Unteransicht des oberen Transport­bandes, Fig. 4 eine Schnittansicht nach der Linie IV-IV in Fig. 1 und Fig. 5 eine Draufsicht auf das untere Transportband.1 shows a schematic top view of the device according to the invention, FIG. 2 shows a sectional view along the line II-II in FIG. 1, FIG. 3 shows a bottom view of the upper conveyor belt, FIG. 4 shows a sectional view along the line IV-IV in FIG 1 and 5 a top view of the lower conveyor belt.

Wie aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, besteht die erfindungsgemäße Vor­richtung im wesentlichen aus einem unteren Transportband 1 und einem oberen Transportband 2, wobei die Transportrichtungen der beiden Transportbänder miteinander einen spitzen Winkel ein­schließen. Gemäß den Fig. 2 und 3 ist das eine Lochperforierung aufweisende obere Transportband 2 über Umlenkrollen 3 ge­führt, die in einem Grundgestell G gelagert sind und von denen eine von einem potentiometergesteuerten Getriebemotor 4 ange­trieben ist. Um einen Schlupf des Transportbandes 2 zu vermei­den, ist eine Anpreßrolle 5 vorgesehen, die gegen die angetrie­bene Umlenkrolle 3 drückt. In dem vom Transportband 2 umschlosse­nen Raum ist ein zweigeteilter Ansaugöffnungen 7 aufweisender Vakuumkasten 6 angeordnet. Das in den Fig. 4 und 5 gezeigte untere einseitig eine Lochperforierung 16 aufweisenden Trans­portband 1 ist auch über Umlenkrollen 9 geführt, von denen eine mechanisch vom nicht dargestellten Paketausleger angetrieben ist. Im vom Transportband 1 umschlossenen Raum ist ein eine Ansaug­öffnung 13 aufweisender Saugkasten 10 angeordnet.1, the device according to the invention essentially consists of a lower conveyor belt 1 and an upper conveyor belt 2, the directions of transport of the two conveyor belts enclosing an acute angle with one another. 2 and 3, the perforated upper conveyor belt 2 is guided over deflection rollers 3, which are mounted in a base frame G and one of which is driven by a potentiometer-controlled gear motor 4. In order to avoid slippage of the conveyor belt 2, a pressure roller 5 is provided which presses against the driven deflection roller 3. In the space enclosed by the conveyor belt 2, a vacuum box 6 having two suction openings 7 is arranged. The lower conveyor belt 1 shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 with a perforated perforation 16 on one side is also guided over deflection rollers 9, one of which is mechanically driven by the package delivery arm, not shown. A suction box 10 having a suction opening 13 is arranged in the space enclosed by the conveyor belt 1.

Von den in Richtung des Pfeiles 14 auf das untere Transport­band 1 gelangende bündig übereinanderliegenden Doppelnutzen 11, 12 wird der obere Nutzen 11 vom oberen Transportband 2 aufgrund der durch dieses ausgeübten Saugwirkung vom unteren Nutzen 12 abgehoben und seitlich wegtransportiert. Der untere Nutzen 12 bleibt aufgrund der durch das untere Transportband 1 ausgeübten Saugwirkung auf letzterem liegen. Am Ende des oberen Transport­bandes 2 wird der obere Nutzen 11 seitlich versetzt auf das un­tere Transportband 1 abgelegt.Of the double strips 11, which lie flush on top of one another in the direction of the arrow 14, 12, the upper panel 11 is lifted off the upper conveyor belt 2 due to the suction effect exerted by it and transported laterally away. The lower panel 12 remains on the latter due to the suction effect exerted by the lower conveyor belt 1. At the end of the upper conveyor belt 2, the upper panel 11 is placed laterally offset on the lower conveyor belt 1.
