Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Entnahme von Druckexemplaren aus den auf einer Achse angeordneten, voneinander beabstandeten rotierenden Schaufelrädern eines Falzapparates, wobei mindestens ein Anschlagrad in bezug auf die Achse exzentrisch angeordnet ist, an seinem Umfang eine der Schaufelzahl entsprechende Anzahl Anschläge aufweist und in der gleichen Richtung wie die Schaufelräder antreibbar ist, so daß jeweils das in ein Schaufelrad einlaufende Durckexemplar infolge der geringeren Geschwindigkeit der Anschläge im Vergleich zu der der Schaufeln zunächst auf einen Anschlag aufläuft und anschließend durch diesen mit vorgegebenem Abstand aus den Schaufelrädern schiebbar ist.The invention relates to a device for removing printed copies from the rotating paddle wheels of a folding apparatus which are arranged on an axis and spaced apart from one another, at least one stop wheel being arranged eccentrically with respect to the axis, having a number of stops corresponding to the number of blades on its circumference and in the same Direction of how the paddlewheels can be driven, so that the pressure specimen entering a paddlewheel, due to the lower speed of the stops in comparison to that of the blades, first hits a stop and can then be pushed out of the paddlewheels by a predetermined distance.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der US-A-2172364 bekannt. Dabei ist das mit Anschlägen versehene Rad auf einem separaten Achszapfen unterhalb der die Schauelräder tragenden Achse angeordnet. Das hat gravierende Nachteile, da nicht mehrere solcher Räder auf einer durchgehenden Achse angeordnet werden können. Diese wäre den rotierenden Schaufelrädern im Wege. Die bekannten Räder können somit nur seitlich angebracht werden, so daß schmälere Druckexemplare nicht exakt aus den Schaufelrädern herausgeschoben werden können.Such a device is known from US-A-2172364. The wheel provided with stops is arranged on a separate axle pin below the axle carrying the rocking wheels. This has serious disadvantages, since several such wheels cannot be arranged on a continuous axle. This would be in the way of the rotating paddle wheels. The known wheels can thus only be attached to the side, so that narrower copies cannot be pushed out of the paddle wheels exactly.

Durch die DE-Offenlegungsschrift 28 11 467 ist auch eine Einrichtung zur Bildung eines Schuppenstromes von gefalzten Druckprodukten bekannt geworden. Diese Einrichtung umfaßt im wesentlichen eine mit Greifern ausgerüstete Kette, die zwischen zwei Scheiben eines Schaufelrades eines Falzapparates geführt ist. Mit dieser Einrichtung können die Druckexemplare zwangsweise aus dem Schaufelrad herausgeführt und an ein unter diesem angeordnetes Transportband mit vorgegebenem Schuppenabstand übergeben werden. Durch die Entnahme der Druckexemplare mittels der mit Greifern ausgerüsteten Ketten direkt aus den Schaufelrädern ist eine schonende Übergabe mit einem gleichbleibenden Schuppenabstand schwierig, da die Greifer die Druckexemplare aus den rotierenden Schaufeln entnehmen müssen. Sollen die Druckexemplare auf eine kontinuierlich umlaufende Transportvorrichtung, z. B. ein Band, unter Bildung eines Schuppenstromes übergeben werden, so ist die exakte Einhaltung des gewünschten Schuppenabstandes infolge des unkontrollierten Herausrutschvorganges aus den Schaufelrädern praktisch nicht möglich.A device for forming a shingled stream of folded printed products has also become known from German Offenlegungsschrift 28 11 467. This device essentially comprises a chain equipped with grippers, which is guided between two disks of a paddle wheel of a folder. With this device, the printed copies can be forcibly guided out of the paddle wheel and transferred to a conveyor belt arranged below this with a predetermined scale spacing. By removing the printed copies directly from the bucket wheels using the chains equipped with grippers, gentle transfer with a constant scale spacing is difficult since the grippers have to remove the printed copies from the rotating blades. Should the printed copies on a continuously rotating transport device, for. B. a tape, with formation of a shingled stream, the exact adherence to the desired shingled spacing due to the uncontrolled slipping out of the paddle wheels is practically impossible.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs spezifizierten Gattung mit einer einfachen Einrichtung auszugestalten, durch die Druckexemplare schonend aus dem Schaufelrad mit einem exakt definierbaren Schuppenabstand herausschiebbar sind.The object of the invention is to design a device of the type specified at the outset with a simple device by means of which printed copies can be gently pushed out of the impeller with a precisely definable scale spacing.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß dem Kennzeichen des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und aus der Beschreibung in Verbindung mit den Zeichnungen.This object is achieved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention result from the subclaims and from the description in conjunction with the drawings.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand zweier Ausführungsbeispiele unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen im einzelnen beschrieben. In diesen zeigen :

  • Figur 1 eine schematische Seitenansicht der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung zur Entnahme von Druckexemplaren,
  • Figur 2 eine Vorderansicht der Einrichtung gemäß Fig. 1,
  • Figur 3 eine schematische Seitenansicht ei-, nes zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels und
  • Figur 4 eine Vorderansicht der Einrichtung gemäß Fig.3.
In the following the invention is described in detail using two exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. In these show:
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic side view of the device according to the invention for removing printed copies,
  • FIG. 2 shows a front view of the device according to FIG. 1,
  • Figure 3 is a schematic side view of a second embodiment and
  • FIG. 4 shows a front view of the device according to FIG. 3.

Die Figuren 1 und 2 zeigen eine aus mehreren Schaufelrädern 1, 1' bestehende Anordnung. Die Schaufelräder 1, 1' sind voneinander beabstandet auf einer Achse 2 angeordnet. Vorzugsweise ist neben einem jeden Schaufelrad 1, 1' eine ortsfeste bezogen auf die Achse 2 exzentrische Scheibe 3, 3' vorgesehen. Diese trägt jeweils Anschlagräder 4, 4', welche eine Innenverzahnung aufweisen und über auf der Achse 2 sitzende außen verzahnte Antriebszahnräder 5 mit einem vorgegebenen Übersetzungsverhältnis antreibbar sind. Am Umfang tragen die Anschlagräder 4, 4' Anschläge 6 in Form von Zacken, deren Abstand x dem gewünschten Schuppenabstand entspricht.Figures 1 and 2 show an arrangement consisting of several paddle wheels 1, 1 '. The paddle wheels 1, 1 'are arranged spaced apart from one another on an axis 2. Preferably, in addition to each paddle wheel 1, 1 ', a stationary disc 3, 3' with respect to the axis 2 is provided. This carries stop wheels 4, 4 ', which have an internal toothing and can be driven with a predetermined transmission ratio by means of external toothed drive gears 5 located on the axis 2. On the circumference, the stop wheels 4, 4 'carry stops 6 in the form of teeth, the distance x of which corresponds to the desired scale spacing.

Unterhalb der Schaufelräder 1, 1' ist ein Transportband 7 gezeigt, auf das die aus den Schaufelrädern 1, 1' herausgeschobenen Druckexemplare 8 mit dem vorgegebenen Schuppenabstand x abzulegen sind.Below the paddle wheels 1, 1 ', a conveyor belt 7 is shown, on which the printed copies 8 pushed out of the paddle wheels 1, 1' are to be placed with the predetermined scale spacing x.

Die aus einer Falzvorrichtung (nicht gezeigt) in die Schaufeln 9 einlaufenden Druckexemplare werden durch die Anschläge 6 infolge der exzentrischen Anordnung der Anschlagräder 4, 4' und der geringeren Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Anschläge 6 bezogen auf die Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Schaufeln 9 ausgerichtet. Durch die Rotation der Schaufelräder 1, 1' und der Anschlagräder 4, 4' werden im unteren Bereich die Druckexemplare 8 durch die Anschläge 6 aus den Schaufeln 9 herausgeschoben und gelangen mit vorgegebenem Schuppenabstand x auf das Tansportband 7. Da die Geschwindigkeit des Transportbandes 7 gleich der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Anschläge 6 ist, wird auch beim Abtransport der Druckexemplare 8 durch das Transportband 7 der durch die Anschlagräder 4, 4' vorgegebene Schuppenabstand x beibehalten.The printed copies entering the blades 9 from a folding device (not shown) are aligned by the stops 6 due to the eccentric arrangement of the stop wheels 4, 4 'and the lower peripheral speed of the stops 6 in relation to the peripheral speed of the blades 9. Due to the rotation of the paddle wheels 1, 1 'and the stop wheels 4, 4', the printed copies 8 are pushed out of the blades 9 through the stops 6 in the lower region and reach the conveyor belt 7 with a predetermined scale distance x. Since the speed of the conveyor belt 7 is the same the circumferential speed of the stops 6, the scale spacing x predetermined by the stop wheels 4, 4 'is maintained even when the printed copies 8 are transported away by the conveyor belt 7.

Die Drehrichtung der Schaufelräder 1, 1', der Anschlagräder 4, 4' sowie des Transportbandes 7 ist jeweils durch einen Pfeil angedeutet.The direction of rotation of the paddle wheels 1, 1 ', the stop wheels 4, 4' and the conveyor belt 7 is indicated by an arrow.

Fig. 1 läßt erkennen, daß infolge der exzentrischen Anordnung der Anschlagräder 4, 4' bezogen auf die Schaufelräder 1, 1' und der geringeren Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Anschlagräder 4, 4' im Vergleich zu der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Schaufeln 9 der Schaufelräder 1, 1' zunächst ein in eine Schaufel 9 einlaufendes Druckexemplar 8 auf einen Anschlag 6 auflaufen wird, wodurch eine Ausrichtung des Druckexemplares 8 erfolgt. Diese Ausrichtung geht schonend vor sich, da eine verhältnismäßig geringe Umfangsgeschwlndigkeitsdifferenz zwischen Anschlagrädern 4, 4' und Schaufelrädern 1, 1' besteht.Fig. 1 shows that due to the eccentric arrangement of the stop wheels 4, 4 'based on the paddle wheels 1, 1' and the lower peripheral speed of the stop wheels 4, 4 'compared to the peripheral speed of the blades 9 of the paddle wheels 1, 1' initially one entering a blade 9 Print copy 8 will run onto a stop 6, whereby the print copy 8 is aligned. This alignment is gentle, since there is a comparatively small circumferential speed difference between stop wheels 4, 4 'and paddle wheels 1, 1'.

Wie Fig. 1 im unteren Bereich zeigt, wird das auf den Schuppenabstand x ausgerichtete Druckexemplar durch einen Anschlag 6 aus den Schaufelrädern 1, 1' herausgeschoben und auf das darunter angeordnete Transportband 7 abgelegt. Auch diese Übergabe der Druckexemplare 8 an das Transportband 7 erfolgt problemlos, da wie bereits erwähnt, die Geschwindigkeit des Transportbandes 7 gleich der Umfangsgeschwindigkeit der Anschlagräder 4, 4' ist.As shown in FIG. 1 in the lower area, the printed copy aligned with the scale spacing x is pushed out of the paddle wheels 1, 1 'by a stop 6 and placed on the conveyor belt 7 arranged underneath. This transfer of the printed copies 8 to the conveyor belt 7 also takes place without any problems, since, as already mentioned, the speed of the conveyor belt 7 is equal to the peripheral speed of the stop wheels 4, 4 '.

Zum besseren Verständnis der Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung sind in Fig. 1 beispielhaft drei Druckexemplare mit 8, 8', 8" in verschiedenen Positionen gezeigt, wobei das Druckexemplar 8 zunächst in die Schaufel 9 einläuft und das Druckexemplar 8' in der Schaufel 9', anschließend an einem Anschlag 6 ausgerichtet wird, wonach gezeigt ist, wie ein Druckexemplar 8" unter Wegziehung der Schaufel 9" nach oben durch einen zugeordneten Anschlag 6 aus den Schaufelrädern 1, 1' herausgeschoben und an das darunter liegende Transportband 7 gegeben wird.For a better understanding of the mode of operation of the device according to the invention, three printed copies with 8, 8 ', 8 "in different positions are shown by way of example in FIG. 1, the printed copy 8 initially running into the blade 9 and the printed copy 8' in the blade 9 ', is then aligned with a stop 6, after which it is shown how a printed copy 8 "is pulled upward by pulling the blade 9" upward through an assigned stop 6 from the blade wheels 1, 1 'and passed to the conveyor belt 7 located thereunder.

Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel, bei dem der Grundaufbau und das grundsätzliche Wirkungsprinzip der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 wiederzufinden sind.3 and 4 show a second embodiment in which the basic structure and the principle of operation of the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 can be found again.

Zusätzlich sind hier an den Anschlägen 6 Greifer 10 vorgesehen. Diese werden von Rollenhebeln 11 gesteuert, deren Rollen 12 auf einer ortsfesten Steuerkurve 13 laufen. Wie Fig. 4 erkennen läßt, kann die Steuerkurve durch entsprechende Ausbildung der ortsfesten Scheibe 3 erzeugt werden.In addition, 6 grippers 10 are provided here at the stops. These are controlled by roller levers 11, the rollers 12 of which run on a fixed control cam 13. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the control curve can be generated by appropriate formation of the fixed disk 3.

Wenn die Vorderkante des in die Schaufel 9 einfallenden Druckexemplares 8 den Anschlag 6 erreicht hat, wird diese durch beim Verschwenken der Rollenhebel 11 einfallende Greifer 10 festgeklemmt und in diesem Zustand aus den Schaufelrädern 1 geschoben. Die Übergabe des herausgeschobenen Druckexemplares 8 erfolgt an die schematisch angedeuteten Greifer 14 einer Transportvorrichtung 15, die z. B. eine Transportkette sein kann. Die Übergabe erfolgt sehr exemplarschonend und mit exakt vorgegebenem Abstand x.When the front edge of the printed copy 8 falling into the blade 9 has reached the stop 6, it is clamped by the gripper 10 falling when the roller lever 11 is pivoted and is pushed out of the blade wheels 1 in this state. The transfer of the printed copy 8 takes place to the schematically indicated grippers 14 of a transport device 15 which, for. B. can be a transport chain. The transfer takes place very carefully and with a precisely specified distance x.

Die Greifer 14 der Transportvorrichtung 15 brauchen nicht mehr, wie bei bekannten Vorrichtungen, in die Schaufelräder 1 « einzugreifen um das Druckexemplar 8 herauszuholen. Da die Druckexemplare 8 durch die Greifer 10 festgehalten werden, ist eine seitliche Anordnung der Transportvorrichtung 15 ohne weiteres möglich.The grippers 14 of the transport device 15 no longer need, as in the case of known devices, to intervene in the paddle wheels 1 'in order to get the printed copy 8 out. Since the printed copies 8 are held by the grippers 10, a lateral arrangement of the transport device 15 is easily possible.
