Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for positioning sheet-like objects moved in a folding machine with at least one knife folding device according to the preamble of claim 1 or 17.
  • the guide roller closest to the cross-rupture stopper is positioned exactly, that is, so that the sheet is "free” between the leading edge stop and the guide roller.
  • the guide roller must be positioned so that the roller just barely rotates and is neither on the sheet trailing edge nor directly on the folded sheet.
  • Such a device is from the German utility model DE 299 04 757 known.
  • a device for holding down and loading of moving sheet-like objects is proposed, in which one or more guide rollers are provided for holding down the objects. For exact positioning of the guide rollers, at least one of these guide rollers is provided with a marking.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide an alternative device that reduces the settling times of the sheet when hitting the attack of a knife folding even at high speeds and large grammages and can be done by the same time trouble-free folding in the sword folder.
  • the sheet 10 is conveyed by means of the conveyor belt 2 against a leading edge stopper 3.
  • a leading edge stopper 3 At least one roller 5, 5 'rests on the conveyor belt 2 or sheet 10.
  • the sheet 10 is conveyed between rollers 5, 5 ', 6, 13 and a conveyor belt 2 against a leading edge stop.
  • the rollers 5, b 13 are in this case rotatably and pivotally mounted on a common carrier. In this way, on the one hand, it is supported that the sheets are conveyed exactly straight in the transport direction, in the embodiment 100, a springback of the sheet upon impact with the front edge stop is positively influenced, in the embodiment 100 'a format-dependent setting is made possible.
  • rollers 5, 5 ' are pivoted in dependence on the position of the folding blade 9 from an active position to an inactive position, the folding operation is not adversely affected by frictional forces between the sheet 10 and rollers 5, 5' adversely.
  • rollers 5 and 13 are pivotally mounted on a common support 12 via levers 11, 11 'and can by means of driving pins 7, 7', which are fixed to a push rod 8, are pivoted. These embodiments are particularly easy to manufacture and controllable.
  • the reciprocating movement of the push rod 8 is caused by a pneumatic cylinder in response to signals from a sensor.
  • a pneumatic cylinder in response to signals from a sensor.
  • the roller 13 depending on the sheet format be pivoted, wherein the roller 5 'is mounted in the vicinity or on the leading edge stopper 3.
  • the roller 5 ' must be clocked, because only one role, namely the role 5' gets up on the bow and reduces the bouncing.
  • the timing of the roller 5 ' is done either via pivoting lever 11' or via a control element 14 or a lifting element 16. All these solutions enable a simple and rapid adjustment of the roller 5 '.
  • the sheet 10 is transported via an inlet plate 1 by means of rollers 5 and 6, the spring-loaded (not shown) are biased in the direction of the conveyor belts 2, in the transport direction A to the leading edge stop 3 of a Schwertfalzwerkes.
  • the sheet 10 is always aligned longitudinally to the subsequent folding blade 9 (see Fig. 3 ).
  • the leading edge stop positions the sheet 10 at the leading edge.
  • the kinetic energy of the sheet 10 causes the sheet to rebound differently depending on the speed of transport following the impact on the leading edge fence.
  • a plurality of rollers 5 are placed on the sheet 10.
  • the rollers 5 have a fixed distance to each other in the paper direction, which ensures that depending on the format of the sheet always at least one roller rests on the sheet.
  • rollers 5 are rotatably and pivotally attached to a common carrier 12 via lever 11. They are biased by springs, not shown, in the direction of the conveyor belt 2. Between carrier 12 and lever 11 is a push rod 8, which by a device, not shown, for example, a pneumatic cylinder, reciprocates (arrow D in Fig. 4 ) can be.
  • the driving pins 7 either come into contact with the levers 11 and lift the rollers 5 from the sheet 10 or get out of engagement with the levers 11 and the rollers 5 are lowered due to the Spring force on the conveyor belt 2 back.
  • a sensor 4 which may be formed, for example, as a light sensor.
  • the incoming sheet 10 passes with the leading edge of the sensor 4, which is attached to or in the vicinity of the leading edge stopper 3.
  • the sensor 4 is now covered.
  • the path from the leading edge lug 3 to the sensor 4 is fixed and known.
  • the period between the time at which the folded sheet 10 covered with the front edge of the sensor, and the time at which the folding blade 9 extends downward, is dependent on the time in which the signatures 10 the distance from the sensor 4 to to the leading edge stop 3 and, secondly, the settling time of the signature at the leading edge stop.
  • the settling time can be selected and set by the operator.
  • the rollers 5 pivot by means of the pull rod upwards and release the contact with the folded sheet.
  • the rollers 5 pivot down again. Before the next sheet is thus conveyed in the direction of the leading edge stop, the folding blade lifts off and the rollers 5 lower again onto the conveyor belt 2.
  • the control for triggering the folding blade and the pneumatic cylinder is done via a control unit, not shown.
  • the sensor 4 can also be mounted directly on the front edge stop 3.
  • a further device 100 ' according to the invention is shown.
  • the sheet 10 is transported via the inlet plate 1 in the transport direction A by means of the conveyor belts 2 to the leading edge stopper 3.
  • the transport of the sheet 10 is supported by the rollers 6, which stand up on the conveyor belt and further by rollers 13, which can be switched on or off depending on the sheet format, which will be described below in particular in connection with the description of Fig. 7a - 7c will be explained in more detail.
  • roller 5 ' At or near the leading edge stop, another roll 5 'is attached.
  • This roller 5 ' is biased by a spring, not shown, in the direction of the conveyor belt 2.
  • the roller 5 ' stands on the sheet 10 as soon as it comes close to the leading edge stopper 3.
  • a rebounding of the sheet is reduced and in particular avoided that the sheet bulges when hitting the leading edge stop and forms a wave.
  • the roller 5 '(or the rollers 5') would interfere because, due to the frictional connection, increased friction between the sheet 10 and the roller 5 would adversely affect the folding operation. Therefore, the roller 5 'is lifted off the sheet before striking the folding blade 9 on the sheet, as in Fig. 5b shown.
  • roller 5 ' is rotatably and pivotally attached via a lever 11' at or in the vicinity of the leading edge stopper 3.
  • the incoming sheet 10 passes with its leading edge the sensor 4, which is also mounted on or in the vicinity of the leading edge stop, and already detected arc when they are still on a path to the leading edge stop.
  • the path from the leading edge stop 3 to the sensor 4 is fixed and known.
  • the period between the time at which the folded sheet 10 covered with the leading edge of the sensor, and the time at which the folding blade 9 extends downwards, thus, on the one hand depends on the time in which the signatures 10 the way from the sensor. 4 travels to the leading edge stop 3, and secondly from the settling time of the Fold sheet at leading edge stop 3.
  • the settling time can be selected and set by the operator.
  • the roller 5 Immediately before the folding blade 9 extends downward, the roller 5 'pivots in response to the movement of a control element 14 upwards and triggers contact with the signatures.
  • the control element 14 can be moved by a lifting cylinder, electromagnet or the like.
  • the roller pivots 5 'back down. So before the next sheet 10 is conveyed in the direction of the leading edge stop 3, the folding blade has been lifted and the roll 5 'has been lowered onto the conveyor belt 2 again.
  • rollers 13 can be lowered onto the conveyor belt 2 in order to support the transport of the sheets 10. So that these rollers 13 do not interfere with the folding process on the one hand and, on the other hand, they do not have to be moved clockwise up and down as the roller 5 ', these rollers 13 can be switched on or off depending on the format, as in FIGS Fig. 7a to 7c shown.
  • the rollers 13 are pivotally mounted on a common carrier 12 via lever 11 'and can by means of driving pins 7', which are fixed to a push rod 8, are pivoted.
  • the movement of the push rod 8 can be done manually or automatically, for example by means of a pneumatic cylinder, which is not shown in detail.
  • Fig. 7a shows a detail of the state of the rollers 13 at a minimum sheet size.
  • the rollers 13 are placed inside the feeder that all rollers 13 can be lowered on the conveyor belt 2, since they no longer touch the sheet 10 when it rests on the leading edge stopper 3.
  • Fig. 7b shows a detail of the state of the rollers 13 in a medium sheet format.
  • the downstream in the transport direction roller would touch the sheet 10 when it rests against the leading edge stopper 3. Therefore, the push rod 8 is moved by the adjustment G against the sheet transport direction A. As a result, the driving pin 7 'lifts the lever 11' and thus the roller 13.
  • Fig. 7c shows a detail of the state of the rollers 13 at a maximum Sheet size.
  • the push rod 8 is moved by the displacement H against the transport direction A, which causes all the rollers 13 via the driving pins 7 ', which act on the lever 11 ', are lifted.
  • the exemplary embodiment shows only two rollers 13 by way of example. However, the number of rollers 13 can be selected as desired.
  • FIG. 8a to 8d the sequence of movements of an alternative roller 5 'is shown, which can not be switched on or off via levers 11', as described above, but directly via a corresponding lifting element 16.
  • This alternative roller 5 ' is also in the vicinity of the front edge stop 3 appropriate and effective.
  • the roller 5 ' is mounted in a fork 15.
  • the fork 15 is movable in the axial direction of the piston rod 20.
  • the mobility is made possible by a slot 17 in the fork 15.
  • the fork 15 is secured by a pin 18. Due to the spring force of the compression spring 19, which is supported on one side on the fork 15 and on the other side on the lifting element 16, the roller 5 'is pressed against the conveyor belt 2. If the conveyor belt 2 moves, the roller 5 'thereby rotates and produces a driving force, which is later transferred to the sheet 10 as soon as it comes into the area of the roller 5'.
  • Fig. 8b shows the role in the lowered state on the conveyor belt.
  • the roller 5 passeses, he raises the role against the spring force by the spring travel E upwards, as in Fig. 8c shown.
  • the roller 5 is moved by a lifting element by a stroke F upwards so that it lifts off the sheet 10, as in Fig. 8d shown.
  • This stroke is exercised just before the sheet is pressed with the folding blade between folding rollers not shown here.
  • the hub is, as already shown above, controlled by a sensor and associated control.
  • a lifting element for example, pneumatic cylinders or electromagnets or the like come into question.
