Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sammelhefter mit einer Heftstation, wenigstens einem Falzbogenanleger, einer bezüglich einer Transport- und Heftlinie hinteren Sammelkette und einer diesbezüglich vorderen Sammelkette zum Transport von Falzbogen entlang der Transport- und Heftlinie, die sich entlang der Falzbogenanleger und durch die Heftstation erstreckt, wobei die hintere und die vordere Sammelkette wenigstens im Bereich der Falzbogenanleger parallel verlaufen.The invention relates to a saddle stitcher with a stapling station, at least one folding sheet feeder, one regarding a transport and stitching line at the rear collecting chain and a front collecting chain for the transport of Folded sheets along the transport and stapling line extends along the folded sheet feeder and through the stapling station, with the rear and front header chains run parallel at least in the area of the folding sheet feeder.

Gattungsgemäße Sammelhefter sind bekannt. Von Falzbogenanlegern werden dort einzelne Falzbogen aus einem Stapel vereinzelt, geöffnet und auf die Sammelketten abgelegt. Zwischen den Sammelketten ist eine Führungsleiste angeordnet, deren oberer Abschnitt schneidenförmig ausgebildet ist und deren Gratlinie die Transport- und Heftlinie festlegt. Zusammen mit der Führungsleiste bilden die Sammelketten eine im wesentlichen dachförmige Auflage, auf der die Falzbogen rittlings transportiert werden. Um die auf die Sammelketten abgelegten Falzbogen auch bei hoher Transportgeschwindigkeit sicher zu erfassen und gleichmäßig zu belasten, laufen die Sammelketten bzw. deren Mitnehmer vor und hinter der Führungsleiste, so daß ein abgelegter Falzbogen gleichzeitig an beiden Schenkeln erfaßt wird. Die von den Mitnehmern erfaßten Falzbogen werden durch die vordere und die hintere Sammelkette bis zu einer Heftstation transportiert, in der aufeinanderliegende Falzbogen im Falz mit Hilfe einer Drahtklammer geheftet werden. Hierzu dienen oberhalb der Sammelketten angeordnete Heftköpfe und zwischen den Sammelketten anstelle der Führungsleiste angeordnete Klinscherkästen, die die freien Enden der von den Heftköpfen durch die Falzbogen gestochenen Drahtklammern umbiegen. Danach werden die gehefteten Falzbogen von den Sammelketten zur Weiterverarbeitung, beispielsweise Randbeschnitt und Auslage, weiterbefördert.Generic saddle stitchers are known. From folding sheet feeders individual folded sheets from a stack there isolated, opened and placed on the collection chains. A guide bar is arranged between the collecting chains, whose upper section is designed in a cutting shape and whose ridge line defines the transport and stitching line. Together with the guide bar, the collection chains form one essentially roof-shaped overlay on which the folded sheets astride. To the on the collection chains stored folding sheet even at high transport speeds They run securely and are evenly loaded Collection chains or their drivers in front of and behind the Guide bar, so that a folded folded sheet at the same time is grasped on both legs. Those captured by the carriers Folded sheets are through the front and the back Collection chain transported to a stapling station in which folded sheets in the fold with the help of a wire clip to be stapled. For this purpose serve above the collecting chains arranged stitching heads and between the collecting chains instead of the guide bar arranged clincher boxes the free ends of the stitching heads through the folded sheets Bend the pierced wire clips. After that, the stitched folded sheets from the collection chains for further processing, for example trimming and delivery.

Da die Sammelketten im Bereich der Heftstation vor bzw. hinter den Klinscherkästen angeordnet sind, muß die bedienerseitige Sammelkette zur Justierung oder zum Austausch der Klinscherkästen und Heftköpfe aus ihrer Führung herausgehoben werden. Zum einen ist dies arbeitsaufwendig, zum anderen führt dies bei wiederholter Durchführung zu einer unterschiedlichen Längung der vorderen und hinteren Sammelkette, so daß ein gleichmäßiger Transport der Falzbogen nicht mehr gewährleistet ist. Auch kann eine Dickenkontrolle der zusammengetragenen Falzbogen vor der Heftstation bei kleinen Falzbogenformaten, die nicht oder nur wenig über die Glieder der Sammelkette hinausragen, nur unmittelbar im Falz erfolgen. Durch die Eigenspannung der Falzbogen ist hierzu ein großer Anpreßdruck erforderlich, so daß, gerade bei druckfrischen Bogen, Markierungen und damit Qualitätsmängel auftreten können.Since the collection chains in the area of the stapling station in front of or are arranged behind the clincher boxes, the operator side Collection chain for adjustment or exchange the clincher boxes and stitching heads lifted out of their guide become. On the one hand, this is labor intensive others, when repeated, will result in one different elongation of the front and rear chain, so that the folded sheets are transported evenly is no longer guaranteed. Thickness control can also be done the folded fold sheet in front of the stapling station small folded sheet formats that do not or only little about the Links of the collecting chain protrude, only directly in the fold respectively. This is due to the internal stress of the folded sheets a large contact pressure is required, so that, especially at freshly printed sheets, markings and thus quality defects may occur.

Mit der Erfindung soll die Zugänglichkeit der Heftstation und der Falzbogen im Bereich der Heftstation verbessert werden. The aim of the invention is to make the stapling station accessible and the folding sheet in the area of the stapling station improved become.

Erfindungsgemäß ist hierzu ein Sammelhefter nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 vorgesehen, bei welchem die Sammelketten als Hauptsammelkette bzw. Nebensammelkette ausgebildet sind und sich im Bereich der Heftstation nur die Hauptsammelkette entlang der Transport- und Heftlinie erstreckt. Hierdurch ist die Heftstation und eine eventuell nachfolgende Auslage von einer Seite für Montage- und Justierarbeiten gut zugänglich. Auch ein Schenkel der zusammengetragenen Falzbogen liegt nicht auf einer bewegten Sammelkette auf, so daß dieser freie Schenkel, beispielsweise für Messungen, gut zugänglich ist.According to the invention, this is a saddle stitcher according to the preamble of claim 1, in which the collecting chains designed as a main collection chain or secondary collection chain and only the main collection chain in the area of the stapling station extends along the transport and stitching line. This makes the stapling station and a subsequent one Delivery from one side for assembly and adjustment work easily accessible. Also a thigh of the gathered Folded sheet is not on a moving collection chain, so that this free leg, for example for measurements, is good is accessible.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die hintere Sammelkette als Hauptsammelkette ausgebildet ist. Die Heftstation ist dadurch für einen Bediener von vorne zugänglich. Die Montage- und Justierarbeiten an der Heftstation können dadurch von der Bedienerseite des Sammelhefters aus erfolgen.In a development of the invention it is provided that the rear collection chain is designed as the main collection chain. This means that the stapling station is for an operator from the front accessible. The assembly and adjustment work at the stapling station can from the operator side of the saddle stitcher from.

Als weiterbildende Maßnahme ist vorgesehen, daß die Nebensammelkette nach dem Verlassen des Bereichs der Falzbogenanleger aus der Transport- und Heftlinie nach unten abgelenkt wird. Die Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette nach unten ermöglicht eine einfache Kettenführung und einen einfachen Aufbau des Sammelhefters. Vorzugsweise ist stromabwärts nach den Falzbogenanlegern als letzter Anleger ein Umschlagfalzbogenanleger vorgesehen, wobei die Nebensammelkette nach dem Verlassen des Bereichs des Umschlagfalzbogenanlegers aus der Transport- und Heftlinie nach unten abgelenkt wird.As a further training measure it is provided that the secondary collection chain after leaving the area of the folding sheet feeder distracted down from the transport and stitching line becomes. The downward deflection of the secondary collection chain enables a simple chain guide and a simple one Structure of the saddle stitcher. Preferably downstream is downstream the envelope feeder is the last to receive an envelope folder feeder provided, the secondary collection chain after the Leaving the area of the envelope folder from the Transport and stitching line is deflected downwards.

Eine weitere weiterbildende Maßnahme besteht darin, daß die Sammelketten Mitnehmer für auf den Sammelketten abgelegte Falzbogen aufweisen und eine Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer der Nebensammelkette vorgesehen ist, so daß die Transportgeschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer der Nebensammelkette, insbesondere im Bereich der Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette aus der Transport- und Heftlinie, kleiner oder gleich der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer der Hauptsammelkette ist. Bei der Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette dürfen deren Mitnehmer, beispielsweise durch Verkippen, auch nicht kurzfristig eine höhere Transportgeschwindigkeit als die Mitnehmer der Hauptsammelkette einnehmen, da hierdurch eine Verschiebung der zusammengetragenen Falzbogen relativ zur Hauptsammelkette verursacht würde. Dies wird durch die erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer der Nebensammelkette verhindert. Die Vorrichtung kann dabei mechanischer oder elektrischer bzw. elektronischer Art sein und kann die Mitnehmer relativ zur Nebensammelkette oder die Nebensammelkette selbst steuern.Another training measure is that the Collection chains Carrier for those stored on the collection chains Have folded sheets and a device for controlling the Transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collection chain is provided so that the transport speed of the driver the secondary collection chain, especially in the area of Deflection of the secondary collection chain from the transport and stitching line, less than or equal to the transport speed of the Carrier of the main collection chain is. When distracting the Sub-collection chain their carriers, for example by tilting, not even at short notice a higher transport speed than the carriers of the main collection chain take, as this shifts the collected Folded sheet caused relative to the main collection chain would. This is achieved by the device according to the invention Control of the transport speed of the carriers of the Sub-collector chain prevented. The device can mechanical, electrical or electronic and can be the carrier relative to the secondary collection chain or the Control the secondary collection chain yourself.

Vorteilhafterweise sind die Mitnehmer der Nebensammelkette im wesentlichen entgegen der Transportrichtung schwenkbar an der Nebensammelkette gelagert und weisen von dieser Lagerstelle entgegen der Transportrichtung beabstandet wenigstens eine Führungsrolle auf. Die Vorrichtung zur Steuerung der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer der Nebensammelkette weist eine Führungsschiene auf, auf der die Führungsrolle wenigstens abschnittsweise abrollt. Mit geringem Bauaufwand kann hierdurch eine Steuerung der Transportgeschwindigkeit der Mitnehmer der Nebensammelkette verwirklicht werden.The carriers of the secondary collection chain are advantageously essentially pivotable against the direction of transport the secondary collection chain stored and point from this storage location spaced at least against the direction of transport a leadership role. The device for controlling the Transport speed of the carriers of the secondary collection chain has a guide rail on which the guide roller rolls at least in sections. With little construction effort can thereby control the transport speed the carrier of the secondary collection chain can be realized.

Schließlich ist vorgesehen, daß stromabwärts der Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette aus der Transport- und Heftlinie eine Vorrichtung zur Dickenkontrolle der transportierten Falzbogen in der Nähe der Transport- und Heftlinie gegenüber der Hauptsammelkette angeordnet ist. Die Dickenmessung der zusammengetragenen Falzbogen kann dadurch auch bei kleinformatigen Falzbogen an deren Schenkeln und bei nur geringem Anpreßdruck genau erfolgen. Qualitätsmängel durch Markierungen, insbesondere bei druckfrischen Bogen, werden dadurch vermieden.Finally, it is provided that downstream of the distraction the secondary collection chain from the transport and stitching line one Device for checking the thickness of the transported folded sheets near the transport and stitching line opposite the Main collection chain is arranged. The thickness measurement of the This means that folded folding sheets can also be used with small format Folded sheets on their legs and with only a small amount The contact pressure is accurate. Quality defects due to markings, especially with freshly printed sheets avoided.

Die Falzbogen 16, 18 und 20 werden in Richtung des Pfeils P entlang einer Transport- und Heftlinie 22 befördert, die sich entlang der Falzbogenanleger 10, 12 und 14 und durch die Heftstation 24 erstreckt, so daß jeweils drei Falzbogen 16, 18 und 20 zusammengetragen werden. Die Heftstation 24 weist einen oder mehrere Heftköpfe 26 und diesen zugeordnete Klinscherkästen 28 auf. In der Heftstation 24 werden von den Heftköpfen 26 Drahtklammern 27 von oben durch die zusammengetragenen Falzbogen 30 gestochen und von den Klinscherkästen 28 umgebogen. Von der Heftstation 24 aus werden die gehefteten Falzbogen 32 zu einer Übergabestation 29 und von dort in Richtung des Pfeils T zur Weiterverarbeitung z.B. in einem Trimmer (Dreischneider) befördert.A saddle stitcher shown schematically in Fig. 1 has three folding sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14, each one Folded sheets 16, 18 and 20 on the collecting chains, not shown lay down. The folded sheets 16, 18 and 20 are in the direction arrow P along a transport and stitching line 22 transported, which along the folded sheet feeder 10, 12 and 14 and extends through the stapling station 24, so that each three folding sheets 16, 18 and 20 are collected. The Stapling station 24 has one or more stapling heads 26 and Clincher boxes 28 assigned to them. In the stapling station 24 are from the stitching heads 26 wire clips 27 from ripped through the collated sheets 30 above and bent over from the clincher boxes 28. From stapling station 24 the stitched folded sheets 32 become a transfer station 29 and from there in the direction of arrow T to Further processing e.g. in a trimmer (triple cutter) promoted.

In Fig. 2 ist ein Abschnitt eines Sammelhefters dargestellt, der sich zwischen dem Bereich der Falzbogenanleger und der Heftstation 24 befindet. Eine Nebensammelkette 40 weist mehrere Kettenglieder 42 und Mitnehmer 44 auf und ist durch eine Kettenführung 46 geführt. Geöffnete Falzbogen werden rittlings auf eine Führungsleiste 48 abgelegt, hinter der die Hauptsammelkette 50 angeordnet ist, von der in Fig. 2 lediglich einige Kettenglieder 52 und einige Mitnehmer 54 zu erkennen sind. Die Transportrichtung der Sammelketten 40 und 50 ist in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 durch einen Pfeil angedeutet. Die Nebensammelkette 40 ist in dem in Fig. 2 und Fig. 3 dargestellten Abschnitt des Sammelhefters über ein Sammelkettenrad 56 gelegt, so daß sie aus der Transport- und Heftlinie, die durch die Oberkante der Führungsleiste 48 festgelegt ist, nach unten abgelenkt wird. Das Sammelkettenrad 56 wird über einen Zahnriemen 56a durch ein Zahnriemenrad 56b angetrieben. Das Zahnriemenrad 56b sitzt gemeinsam mit einem weiteren Zahnriemenrad 58 auf einer Welle 56c, deren Antrieb über einen Zahnriemen 58a und das Zahnriemenrad 58 durch ein Winkelgetriebe 60 mit Zahnriemenrad 58b und Königswelle 90 eines Zentralantriebs oder durch einen (nicht dargestellten) Elektromotor erfolgt (Fig. 3).2 shows a section of a saddle stitcher, between the area of the folding sheet feeder and the Stapling station 24 is located. A secondary collection chain 40 has several chain links 42 and driver 44 and is through a chain guide 46 out. Open folding sheets astride a guide bar 48, behind which the main collection chain 50 is arranged, of which in FIG. 2 only a few chain links 52 and a few catches 54 are recognizable. The direction of transport of the collecting chains 40 and 50 is indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3 by an arrow. The secondary header chain 40 is in that in FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrated section of the saddle stitcher via a saddle chain wheel 56 placed so that they from the transport and Tack line passing through the top edge of the guide bar 48 is set to be distracted down. The collecting sprocket 56 is driven by a toothed belt wheel via a toothed belt 56a 56b driven. The toothed belt wheel 56b is seated together with another toothed belt wheel 58 on one Shaft 56c, the drive via a toothed belt 58a and that Toothed belt wheel 58 through an angular gear 60 with toothed belt wheel 58b and vertical shaft 90 of a central drive or by an electric motor (not shown) (Fig. 3).

Nach dem Ablegen der geöffneten Falzbogen durch die Falzbogenanleger auf die taktgenau synchron angetriebenen Sammelketten 50, 40 müssen die Falzbogen auf die Transportgeschwindigkeit der Sammelketten 50, 40 beschleunigt werden, wobei die symmetrisch angeordneten Mitnehmer 54 und 44 von Hauptsammelkette 50 und Nebensammelkette 40 ein Verrutschen der Falzbogen verhindern. Nach dem letzten Falzbogenanleger liegt eine gewünschte Anzahl an Falzbogen aufeinander und ist relativ zu den Sammelketten 50, 40 in Ruhe. Die Falzbogen können daher nach dem Verlassen des Bereichs der Falzbogenanleger durch die Hauptsammelkette 50 allein zuverlässig zur Heftstation 24 weitertransportiert werden.After the opened folding sheets have been deposited by the folding sheet feeder to the synchronously driven Collection chains 50, 40 have the folded sheets on the transport speed the collecting chains 50, 40 are accelerated, the symmetrically arranged drivers 54 and 44 of Main collection chain 50 and secondary collection chain 40 slipping prevent the folded sheet. After the last folder feeder there is a desired number of folding sheets on top of each other and is at rest relative to the collecting chains 50, 40. The folding sheets can therefore after leaving the area of the folding sheet feeder solely reliable through the main collection chain 50 be transported to the stapling station 24.

Im Bereich der Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette 40 verhindern Leitbleche 62 und 64 ein Verhaken der vorderen Falzbogenschenkel. Um zu vermeiden, daß die Mitnehmer 44 der Nebensammelkette 40 durch deren Ablenkung kurzfristig eine höhere Transportgeschwindigkeit als die Mitnehmer 54 der Hauptsammelkette 50 einnehmen, werden die Mitnehmer 44 bereits kurz vor der Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette 40 nach hinten, im wesentlichen entgegen der Transportrichtung, geschwenkt (Fig. 4).Prevent in the area of the deflection of the secondary collection chain 40 Baffles 62 and 64 a hooking of the front folded sheet legs. To avoid the driver 44 of the secondary collection chain 40 a higher one in the short term due to their distraction Transport speed as the carriers 54 of the main collection chain 50 take, the driver 44 already short before the deflection of the secondary collection chain 40 to the rear, in essentially pivoted against the direction of transport (Fig. 4).

Die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen weiterhin eine Vorrichtung 66 zur Dickenkontrolle der transportierten Falzbogen, die gegenüber der Hauptsammelkette 50 in der Nähe der Transport- und Heftlinie angeordnet ist. Auch Falzbogen kleinen Formats laufen dadurch zwischen einer festen Meßrolle 68, die innerhalb eines Ausschnitts eines Leitbleches 70 angeordnet ist, und einer beweglichen Meßrolle 72 durch, die an einem Arm 74 angelenkt ist.2 and 3 also show a device 66 for Thickness control of the transported folding sheets, the opposite the main collection chain 50 near the transportation and stitching line is arranged. Small format folding sheets also run thereby between a fixed measuring roller 68 which within a section of a guide plate 70 is arranged, and a movable measuring roller 72, which on an arm 74th is articulated.

Wie Fig. 4 zu entnehmen ist, ist die Nebensammelkette 40 im Bereich des in Fig. 2 und 3 dargestellten Abschnitts des Sammelhefters über das Kettenrad 76 gelegt, wird dadurch nach unten abgelenkt und gibt rittlings auf der Führungsleiste 48 liegende Falzbogen frei. Die Mitnehmer 44 der Nebensammelkette 40 sind an einer Lagerstelle 78 gelenkig an der Nebensammelkette 40 angelenkt und im wesentlichen entgegen der Transportrichtung verschwenkbar. Die Mitnehmer 44 weisen weiterhin an ihrem hinteren Ende, entgegen der Transportrichtung von der Lagerstelle 78 beabstandet, eine Führungsrolle 80 auf. Während des Transports von Falzbogen im Bereich der Falzbogenanleger und bis kurz vor die Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette 40 durch das Kettenrad 76 rollt die Führungsrolle 80 auf einer Führungsschiene 82 ab. Hierdurch werden die Mitnehmer 44 in ihrer Transportposition gehalten. Kurz vor der Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette 40 nach unten endet die Führungsschiene 82, so daß die Führungsrolle 80 nach unten ausweicht und der Mitnehmer 44 um die Lagerstelle 78 nach hinten schwenkt. Der Mitnehmer 44 wird dadurch von der Hinterkante eines (in Fig. 4 nicht dargestellten) beförderten Falzbogens wegbewegt. Auch im Verlauf der darauffolgenden Ablenkung der Nebensammelkette 40 nach unten kommt der Mitnehmer 44 dadurch nicht mehr in Kontakt mit der Hinterkante eines beförderten Falzbogens, so daß dieser durch die Mitnehmer 54 der Hauptsammelkette 50 (Fig. 2 und 3) gleichmäßig weiterbefördert wird.As can be seen in FIG. 4, the secondary collection chain 40 is in the Area of the portion of the Saddle stitching over the sprocket 76 is thereby distracted down and astride the guide bar 48 folded sheets lying free. The driver 44 of the Sub-collection chain 40 are articulated to a bearing 78 the secondary collection chain 40 articulated and substantially counter the direction of transport can be pivoted. The drivers 44 continue to point at their rear end, against the Transport direction spaced from the bearing 78, one Guide roller 80 on. During the transport of folded sheets in the area of the folding sheet feeder and until shortly before the deflection the secondary collection chain 40 rolls through the sprocket 76 the guide roller 80 on a guide rail 82. Hereby the drivers 44 are in their transport position held. Shortly before the secondary collection chain 40 is deflected down the guide rail 82 ends, so that the guide roller 80 dodges down and the driver 44 around bearing 78 swings backwards. The driver 44 is thereby from the rear edge of a (in Fig. 4 not shown) transported folded sheet moved away. Also in Course of the subsequent deflection of the secondary collection chain 40 the driver 44 no longer comes in as a result Contact with the trailing edge of a folded folder, see above that this through the driver 54 of the main collection chain 50th (Fig. 2 and 3) is conveyed evenly.
