Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for forming stacks from a continuous stream of printed products conveyed in the direction of a stacking shaft.
  • the shingled stream transported on an endless conveyor is usually slowed or even stopped to create a gap between two printed products.
  • an intermediate element is introduced in the stacking shaft and formed on this one of the subsequent printed products existing sub-stack.
  • solutions are also known in which the scale flow is accelerated in its downstream region or in which upstream parts of the scale flow slows down and downstream parts are accelerated.
  • the shingled stream is fed continuously to the stacking shaft, the stacks formed in this way being separated later.
  • the corresponding method can not be automated at a reasonable cost.
  • An apparatus is also known, with which printed products delivered on a conveyor belt in a flaky arrangement are vertically stacked and output in the form of sub-stacks of a desired number.
  • This device has one on the conveyor belt facing away Side of the stacking shaft arranged first support fingers. This is moved from a starting position in which it protrudes above the scale flow in the center of the stacking shaft, vertically in a protruding into the scale flow end position. The conveyed after taking the end position of the first support finger in the stacking tray printed products are thus stored forming a partial stack on this support finger.
  • a second, arranged on the side facing the conveyor belt side of the stacking shaft support finger is also inserted into the stacking shaft and is used together with the first support finger of the support of the sub-stack and its separation from the previous part of the stack or the main stack.
  • the printed products of the sub-stack fall on the arranged in the stacking stack support stack forming a main stack.
  • a disadvantage of such a device is that at high feeding speeds of the imbricated flow thin printed products can be deformed and damaged by the support fingers or protrude during the intermediate storage on both sides of the respective support finger in the stack well below the horizontal and therefore can fall into deformed. This in turn can lead to malfunction and downtime of the entire system.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a suitable for high processing speeds and the use of thin printed products simple and reliable method and a corresponding device for forming vertical stacks of a shingled stream of printed products.
  • the extension of the auxiliary rake from its rest position takes place at approximately the same speed as the scale flow and at least approximately horizontally into the stacking shaft.
  • This synchronized motion provides additional security for clean separation of products at a desired location, as varying speeds between auxiliary rake and scale flow at high processing speeds can result in mechanical deformation forces or electrostatic charges that can damage thin or large area printed products.
  • a synchronous activation of the auxiliary rake with the shingled stream can advantageously take place in order to ensure the above-described required movement sequences within the stacking device.
  • the driving of the auxiliary rake and the intermediate element takes place via a combined machine control. This has the advantage that an even more accurate control of the interacting components of the inventive device can be achieved.
  • the present apparatus By forming stacks at a constant speed of the imbricated flow, the present apparatus enables a delay-free processing in stacking the printed products, whereby high processing speeds can be achieved.
  • a stacking device comprises an endless conveyor and a stacking shaft arranged downstream of the endless conveyor, with an intermediate element accommodating an intermediate stack and with a stacking tray arranged in the stacking shaft for stacking a continuous flow of printed products conveyed in the direction of the stacking shaft, the stacking device having a in the stacking shaft extendable auxiliary rake, which is arranged above the intermediate element and which is extendable into the stacking shaft with an at least approximately the same speed as the scale flow.
  • the auxiliary rake can also be introduced into the stacking shaft at a speed which is lower than the shingled flow, with an additional safeguard against infringement of the printed products due to the gentle advance of the shingled flow.
  • the auxiliary rake is arranged so that it extends across an entire width of the stacking shaft transversely to a conveying direction of the scale flow.
  • the endless conveyors have a plurality of parallel and spaced apart circulating conveyor belts.
  • the stacking device in which spaces are formed between the spaced-apart conveyor belts and the auxiliary rake is arranged in a retracted rest position in the interstices. This can ensure that when the auxiliary rake is extended into its end position, the printed products rest at the same height as on the endless conveyor. This proves especially useful when large processing speeds are to be achieved and also when using thin printed products.
  • the circulating elements, over which the conveyor belts are guided may be formed as rollers, gears or similar components, depending on the embodiment of the endless conveyor as a belt, belt, toothed belt or chain conveyor.
  • the drive units for the intermediate element and the auxiliary rake can be either pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical or similar drive devices, wherein a corresponding drive control can be provided for the inventive motion sequence.
  • the apparatus 1 has a horizontal endless conveyor 4 designed as a conveyor belt and a vertical stacking shaft 5 adjoining it in a conveying direction.
  • a stack tray 6 is arranged in the stacking shaft 5.
  • At the endless conveyor 4 side facing the stacking shaft 5 designed as a rake intermediate element 7 is arranged.
  • the device 1 has an auxiliary rake 8, which is arranged at the level of the scale flow 2 on the endless conveyor 4 and substantially horizontally formed in the stacking shaft 5 can be introduced.
  • FIGS. 2 to 8 the method steps according to the invention are illustrated with reference to an embodiment of the device 1.
  • Fig. 2 shows the formation of a main stack 9 in the stacking shaft 5 on the stack tray 6, wherein both the intermediate element 7 and the auxiliary rake 8 are in a rest position.
  • the stack tray 6 is continuously lowered according to the growing main stack 9.
  • the formed from the printed products 3 Schuppenstrom 2 is shown on the endless conveyor 4.
  • Fig. 3 shows the extension of the auxiliary rake 8 between the incoming printed products 3 of the scale flow 2 upon reaching the number of printed products 3 provided for the main stack 9.
  • the auxiliary rake 8 is moved into the stacking shaft 5 at approximately the same speed as the scale flow 2 and at least approximately horizontally.
  • the upstream ends of the printed products 3 are now supported on the auxiliary rake 8, while the downstream ends of these printed products 3 are further deposited on the stack tray 6 and on the printed products 3 of the main stack 9 already located thereon.
  • Fig. 4 shows the auxiliary rake 8 in its extended end position. Simultaneously with the achievement of this end position of the auxiliary rake 8, the stack tray 6 and thus also the main stack 9 are lowered, wherein a free space 10 is formed for the extension of the intermediate element 7.
  • the auxiliary rake 8 itself does not form a partial stack, but prevents the downstream ends of the printed products 3 from falling further into the stacking shaft 5. In the space 10 generated by the auxiliary rake 8, the intermediate element 7 can retract without damaging printed products 3.
  • Fig. 5 represents the intermediate element 7 in its extended end position, in which the downstream ends of the previously deposited so far on the main stack 9 printed products 3 have been taken over by the intermediate element 7.
  • the following printed products 3 are now deposited in each case with their upstream end on the auxiliary rake 8 and with its downstream end on the intermediate element 7 or on the respective printed products 3 already located thereon.
  • Fig. 6 shows in its rest position entering auxiliary rake 8, whereby the upstream ends of the previously stored on the auxiliary rake printed products 3 are transferred to the intermediate element 7 to form a partial stack 11. The further formation of the sub-stack 11 then takes place on the self-lowering intermediate element 7, wherein the main stack 9 is further lowered with the stack tray 6.
  • Fig. 7 indicates after the removal of the main stack 9 not shown taking off the stack tray 6 to below the intermediate element 7, the latter being retracted on reaching the upper position of the stack tray 6 in its rest position and the part stack 11 is transferred to the stack tray 6.
  • the now subsequent training of the main stack 4 takes place on the stack tray 6, analog Fig. 2 ,
  • FIG. 8 is a device 1 according to the invention with lying on the endless conveyor 4 and over the stacking shaft 5, in the conveying direction 16 moving shingled stream 2 of printed products 3 shown.
  • the stacking shaft 5 with the width 15 both on the stack tray 6 resting main stack 9 as well as a resting on the intermediate element 7 part stack 11th
  • Fig. 9 shows a plan view of the inventive device 1 with an enlarged illustrated auxiliary rake 8, which is arranged in approximately the same height as the endless conveyor 4, on the auxiliary rake 8 in the retracted position ( Fig. 9B ) and in the extended position ( Fig. 9A ), in which the upstream ends of the following, not shown here printed products 3 can be supported on the auxiliary rake 8.
  • the in the Figs. 9A and 9B enlarged details also include a support member 18, on which the auxiliary rake 8 is fixed, and a slide bar 19, on which the support member 18 is slidably disposed.
  • the endless conveyor (4) which has a plurality of parallel and through intermediate spaces (17) spaced from each other circulating conveyor belts (12), wherein the conveyor belts (12) are guided around the circulation elements (13).
  • the in the Figs. 9, 9A and 9B shown recess 20 in the stacking shaft 5 is provided for the up and down movement of the intermediate element 7.
  • Fig. 10 shows a plan view of the inventive device 1 also without the printed products to be stacked to illustrate the arrangement of the intermediate element 7 in its extended end position in the stacking shaft 5.
  • the intermediate element 7 is shown in its retracted into the stacking shaft 5 end position.
  • the drive units 14 for the intermediate element 7 and the auxiliary rake 8 can be seen.
