Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for pulling apart transversely offset from each other to the transport direction bow of preferably in the form of an imbricated web over a transport distance conveyed folded products having in the range of a portion of Transpo v of a rtumble on both sides of the product web is arranged, with the free edge of each of them facing Dislocating sheets that can be brought into engagement with the same speed component running in the transport direction
  • a device of this type is known from DE-PS 24 17 614. Since, in devices of this type, two folding products of the same or different thickness can be folded together and possibly trimmed, a second or a double-width folding device is unnecessary.
  • the holding devices are designed as rows of grippers which are each guided on an endless path and have grippers arranged next to one another, which grasp a respectively assigned sheet package at its free edge formed by the mutual offset and bring it into the desired lateral position.
  • the disadvantage here is that the fixed distance between the grippers requires a precise distance between the successive folding products.
  • the grippers have a fixed mutual distance.
  • At least the holding device which also has a movement component running transversely to the transport direction, as a web guide with its front end which is laterally adjustable in relation to the transport direction with a straight, formed by the sheet offset by the sheet offset Marginal streak finely penetrated the product web is formed clamping gap which is delimited by opposing, uniformly rotating pressing members.
  • each clamping gap can be limited by at least two clamping bands rolling on one another.
  • These measures advantageously result in an elastic, gapless limitation of the clamping gaps over their entire length and thus ensure not only a particularly simple construction but also a particularly high degree of freedom from interference.
  • the clamping bands can advantageously be supported by pressure rollers arranged in the area between their deflection devices.
  • the opposing pressure rollers of the lower and upper clamping band of a band guide can advantageously be offset from one another in the transport direction in order to ensure high elasticity in the region of the clamping gap. This ensures that thickenings in the area of the product flow can also be absorbed without disruption and readjustment.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the superordinate measures can consist in that at least one clamping band, preferably all the clamping bands of each band guide, are designed as toothed belts received on toothed belt wheels. These measures result in a smooth run and therefore enable simple synchronization.
  • the upper and lower clamping bands of each band guide can advantageously be connected to one another in terms of drive by means of a countershaft arranged in the region of a toothed belt wheel pair.
  • the folding product 1 shown in Fig. 1 consists of two interlocking sheet packs 1a and 1b, which are laterally offset from each other, so that there is a free edge 2 in the area of each side, with which one sheet package projects over the other.
  • the width of the edge 2 corresponds to the lateral offset.
  • the two sheet packs 1a and 1b can be grasped and pulled apart, so that two separate folding products result, which can have the same or different number of pages.
  • the production of these two folding products can, however, be carried out together in one folder, the working width of which is merely corresponds to the width of a product plus the lateral offset.
  • the structure and mode of operation of a folder are known per se and therefore do not require any detailed explanation in the present context.
  • the folded and possibly trimmed folding products are, as can be seen in FIG. 2, deposited by a paddle wheel 3 in the form of a shingled stream 4 on a delivery belt 5, which consists of support belts 7 which are guided around belt rollers 6 and are laterally spaced apart.
  • the belt rollers 6 can simply be mounted in the side walls 8 of the folder.
  • the delivery belt 5 leading out of the folder forms the first section of a multi-part transport route leading to a further processing device, for example to a packaging device.
  • holding devices are provided on both sides of the shingled stream 4, which hold the passing folding products at the respectively assigned free edge 2 and transport them further in the transport direction as well as separate from each other, ie pull apart laterally.
  • Belt rollers are also provided to accommodate the conveyor belts 7 forming the transport route section 9 and the further transport route sections.
  • a common belt roller can be provided in the toothing area of successive transport route sections, on which the carrying belts 7 of successive transport route sections are lined up in an alternating sequence, as a result of which there is automatically a drive connection of the individual transport route sections.
  • At least one upper and one associated lower clamping band 10 and 11 are provided, respectively, web guides 12 and 13, each of which delimit a straight, continuous clamping gap 14 which extends over its entire length and which faces from the facing one , through the relevant edges 2 formed edge strips of the scale web 4 is penetrated.
  • the two web guides 12 and 13 can be extended laterally with their front end opposite to the transport direction indicated by the arrow 15.
  • one web guide 12 is arranged parallel to the transport direction and only the other web guide 13 is laterally exhibited with its front end at a certain angle with respect to the transport direction.
  • the length of the web guides 12 and 13 and the size of the opening angle are chosen so that a complete separation and a sufficient distance between the separated products are achieved even with the maximum product width.
  • the maximum product width corresponds to the working width of the upstream folder minus the width of the smallest required offset. If the product width changes, only the width of the offset is expediently changed, so that no lateral adjustment of the web guides 12 or 13 is required.
  • the web guides can therefore be arranged stationary. But it would also be conceivable to provide lateral adjustability. For this it is sufficient if only the web guide 12 parallel to the direction of transport is arranged to be laterally adjustable.
  • the sheet packs that enter the clamping gap 14 of the web guide 12 parallel to the transport direction with their edge 2 are only transported in the transport direction and are held transversely thereto.
  • the sheet packs running into the clamping gap 14 of the laterally shown web guide 13 with their edge 2 are transported in the transport direction and transversely thereto.
  • the transverse transport takes place due to the rectilinear course of the web guide 13 without product rotation, so that the direction of the product side edges parallel to the direction of transport or the plumb line the right orientation of the product front edges is retained.
  • the clamping bands 10, 11 forming the web guides 12 and 13 are driven by the folder.
  • the drive takes place via the transport belt 5, which is driven in a manner not shown here.
  • the lower clamping band 10 of the path 12 parallel to the transport direction is on the neighboring ones Supporting belts 7 assigned to the belt rollers 6, of which the rear belt roller in the transport direction also belongs to the delivery belt 5.
  • the upper clamping band 11 is received on band wheels 18 arranged above the band rollers 6.
  • the drive coupling with the associated lower clamping band 10 takes place, as can best be seen from FIG. 4, via spur gears 19 arranged on laterally projecting drive stubs.
  • the clamping bands 10 and 11 of the laterally flipped web guide 13 are on in the area between the belt rolls 6 Transport route section 9 arranged band wheels 20 which, as shown in FIG. 5, also by attached to drive stub projecting laterally
  • Spur gears 21 are coupled to one another in terms of drive.
  • the torque is introduced via a cardan shaft 22, which is connected to the front belt roller 6 of the delivery belt 5 by means of a countershaft arranged here laterally outside of the web guide 12.
  • a toothed belt 23 is provided for this purpose, which is received on a toothed belt pinion 24 on the belt roll side and a toothed belt wheel 25 mounted parallel to the axis thereof.
  • the diameter of the toothed belt pinion 24 and toothed belt wheel 25 practically any desired translation can be accomplished. These diameters are to be selected such that the clamping belts 10 and 11 of the web guide 13, which is shown laterally, are driven at a speed which results as a result of the forward speed corresponding to the speed of the web guide 12 and the side transport speed.
  • the clamping bands 10 and 11 can be designed as simple bands similar to the carrying bands 7. In order to achieve a smooth running of the clamping bands 10 and 11, in the exemplary embodiment shown, these should be designed as toothed belts, which in a simple manner achieves exact synchronism of the clamping bands. This ensures that relative movements of the clamping bands with respect to the products detected at the edge are avoided, so that they are protected.
  • the belt wheels 18 or 20 are in this case designed as toothed belt wheels.
  • the belt rollers 6 are provided with the clamping belt 10, which is accommodated thereon and assigned to the web guide 12, toothed belt pinions 26.
  • the train guides 12 and 13 can each be formed by aligned individual bands or multiple bands. In the illustrated embodiment, 12 individual belts are provided to form the web guide.
  • Double belts are provided to form the web guide 13.
  • pressure rollers 27 are provided in the area between the deflection devices assigned to the clamping bands 10 and 11, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 6, which support the effective engagement strand of the respectively assigned clamping band, so that over the entire length the clamping gap 14 a reliable sheet entrainment is guaranteed.
  • the pressure rollers 27 assigned to the lower clamping band 10 and the respectively associated upper clamping band 11 are offset from one another in the transport direction, so that a certain elasticity is retained in the region of the clamping gap 14, which thus also copies from stronger material or thickening of the scale flow without damaging the drive means and can record without readjustment, which ensures trouble-free transport.
  • the distance between the toothed belt wheels 18 can be adjustable to accomplish any length compensation that may be required.
  • one or both toothed belt wheels 18 should simply be arranged correspondingly resiliently.
  • An inlet or outlet gap may result in the area of the belt deflections.
  • the pressure rollers 27 are freely rotatable on side cheeks 28, which in turn are attached to holders 29 fixed to the housing.
  • bearing blocks 30 arranged on a carrier plate 31 are provided.
  • the carrier plate 31 is pivotally attached to the folder side walls 8 by means of holders 32 and rests on the floor via supports 33.
  • the toothed belt wheel 25 connected to the cardan shaft 22 can simply be mounted in a projection of the adjacent bearing block 30.
  • the holders 29 assigned to the cheeks 28 are also fastened on the carrier plate 31.
  • the transport route section 9 adjoining the lateral route guides 12 and 13, respectively, has its rear belt roller 6 positioned so close to the front belt roller 6 of section 9 that there is a smooth transition.
  • the side supports 34 of section 17 can be releasably attached to the adjacent bearing blocks 30.
