Definitions

  • the invention relates to a folding apparatus of a rotary printing press, and more particularly to the transfer of the printed product from a folding blade cylinder to a jaw cylinder.
  • the folding blade cylinder has holding devices to hold the printed product on the surface of the folding blade.
  • the holding device can be designed, for example, in the form of a puncture device. Due to the arrangement of jaw cylinder and folding blade to each other, it is necessary for decrease of the printed product by the jaw cylinder that the puncture in the forward direction, the printed product releases. By releasing the printed product, the leading end of the printed product is no longer guided defined so that it can cause buckling and cracks on the printed product.
  • a folding apparatus which has a folding blade cylinder and a jaw cylinder.
  • the folding blade cylinder has holding elements, such as e.g. a puncture or puncture device, so that the folding blade is also called NOTEurzylinder.
  • the folding blade cylinder can take on other functions, such as e.g. Collecting the printed products, so that the folding blade cylinder is also called collecting cylinder.
  • Folding blade cylinder and jaw cylinder come in a transfer section next. In this transfer section, the printed product is folded transversely by the folding blade pushes the printed product in the jaw.
  • the so-called gusset which lies in the region downstream of the transfer section in the direction of rotation, a rotating hold-down element is provided.
  • the rotating hold-down element which may for example be in the form of a cam, serves to press the leading edge of the printed product against the folding blade cylinder as soon as the puncturing device has released the printed product.
  • the shape of the hold-down element is not limited to the cam shape. Rather, any shape is conceivable as long as only at the time of release of the printed product by the puncturing the function of holding down the printed product is met and released at the time of transfer to the jaw cylinder, the path between Falzmesserzylinder and jaw cylinder, which takes the printed product through the rotating hold-down is.
  • the hold-down element itself or the storage of the hold-down element must be such that the distance between hold-down element and folding blade varies during rotation of the hold-down element. That is, the shape of the hold-down element and the speeds of hold-down element and Folding blade cylinders must be designed such that the space between the folding blade cylinder and hold-down element per printed product is at least once minimal.
  • the at least one hold-down element is used in combination with a guide tongue.
  • the leader is a preferably rigid member between folding blade cylinder and jaw cylinder, which provides a guide for the printed product, which is removed by the folding jaw cylinder of the folding blade cylinder.
  • a plurality of Leitzungen between folding blade and jaw cylinder arranged so that the whole product width is performed.
  • it should be provided to rotate at least two hold-down elements at or between the guide tongues.
  • rigid guide tongues in this context is optional, since it is also possible to realize the guidance of the printed product from folding blade cylinder to jaw cylinder by means of corresponding movable components or even by appropriately adapted hold-down elements.
  • the hold-down element does not interfere with the guiding function of the guide tongue. That is, if a printed product is guided on a guide surface of the at least one guide tab, the rotating hold-down element must not damage the product.
  • the hold-down element is provided to equip the hold-down element with a single drive, which can be controlled or regulated in its rotational speed.
  • a single drive which can be controlled or regulated in its rotational speed.
  • the hold-down element can be controlled by the individual drive adapt to the delayed movement of the printed product, so that it does not come to the relative movement between the printed product and hold-down element.
  • the support by means of an air flow increases the functional range of the hold-down element.
  • the air flow can be accomplished on the one hand by a corresponding shaping of the hold-down element, but it can also by providing a corresponding compressed air device, e.g. in the area between the cylinders.
  • the compressed air device can be realized, for example, in the form of a compressed air beam running transversely along the guide tongues. Further, the compressed air beam can be mounted on the hold-down element, so that the flow of compressed air is predetermined by the movement of the hold-down elements.
  • the compressed air device can be controlled so that compressed air always flows out when the leading end of the printed product has been released by the puncturing device.
  • the distance between hold-down element and folding blade cylinder is adjustable, so that the distance can be adapted to the printed product thickness.
  • the folding apparatus shown in FIG. 1 has a folding blade cylinder 2 and a jaw cylinder 3.
  • the folding blade 2 is equipped with evenly distributed on the circumference folding blades 13.
  • the jaws 4 interact with the folding blades 13 such that a folding blade 13 presses the printed product 5 in the jaw 4 and the printed product 5 is then held by the jaw 4.
  • the folding blade cylinder 2 has a puncture 1, which holds the printed product 5 at through the puncture 1 resulting holes.
  • the puncture 1 must be retracted at the latest, i. the printed product 5 must be released from the puncture 1. Due to the rotational speed of the folding blade 2, the printed product 5 thereupon lifts off from the folding blade cylinder 2 and is detected by the cam 6 arriving at this time.
  • the cam 6 is adapted in its speed to the speed of the printed product 5, so that the freshly printed substrate is not damaged, i. so that it does not come to a so-called greasing of the color on the printed product.
  • the printed product 5 is delayed to zero speed and then conveyed along the Leitzungen 9 in the direction of the jaw cylinder 3.
  • the protruding part of the cam 6 is behind the guide tongue 9, so that the path of the printed product 5 along the guide surface 9 is not disturbed.
  • Figure 2 shows a plan view of the inventive arrangement.
  • the shaft 10 for running as cams 6 hold-down elements and the mounting rod 11 for attachment of the lead tongues 8 are immediately adjacent arranged.
  • the cam 6 is respectively disposed between the guide tongues 8, but it is also possible to attach the cam 6 outside the outermost lead tongues 8.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the shaft 10 for the cam disks 6 and of the fastening rod 11 for the guide tongues 8.
  • the drive 12 of the shaft 10 for the cam disks 6 is shown in FIG. It should be noted in this context that this can be a controllable single drive. Furthermore, however, the use of a drive is conceivable, which also drives other components of the folder.
