Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bearbeitungs- und Förderverfahren für Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter sowie eine Bearbeitungsvorrichtung für die Bearbeitung von Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter vor deren Zufuhr zu einer Sammelstrecke nach den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1 und 8.The invention relates to a processing and conveying method for printed sheets and/or single sheets and to a processing device for processing printed sheets and/or single sheets before they are fed to a collecting section according to the preambles of claims 1 and 8.

Stand der Technik:State of the art:

Zur Bearbeitung von Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblättern ist deren Transport mittels einer Sammelkette bekannt. Mittels einer solchen Sammelkette können die einzelnen Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter, nachdem sie z.B. gefalzt wurden, gesammelt und z.B. einer stromabwärts angeordneten Heftvorrichtung zugeführt werden.For processing printed sheets and/or single sheets, their transport via a gathering chain is known. Using such a gathering chain, the individual printed sheets and/or single sheets, after they have been folded, for example, can be collected and fed, for example, to a downstream stapling device.

Im Stand der Technik offenbart die EP 2 460 749 A1 ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Transportsystems zur Herstellung von aus Druckbogen bestehenden Druckprodukten. Die Druckbogen müssen dabei zwecks produktgenauer Trennung als einzelne Druckbogen verarbeitet werden.In the prior art, the EP 2 460 749 A1 A method for operating a transport system for producing printed products consisting of printed sheets. The printed sheets must be processed as individual printed sheets for precise product separation.

Das Transportsystem weist stromab einer konventionell oder digital betriebenen Druckmaschine mindestens eine Verzweigungsstelle auf. Damit kann eine hohe Produktion der Druckmaschine aufgefangen werden, ohne zwingend eine intermittierende Sammelvorrichtung vorsehen zu müssen. Bei Bedarf können damit die einzelnen Druckbogen entlang der einzelnen Förderströme im Schuppenstrom geführt werden, was das Transportvolumen pro Zeiteinheit gegenüber einem ebenfalls möglichen Transport von Einzelbogen oder Einzelblättern wesentlich erhöht.The transport system has at least one branching point downstream of a conventionally or digitally operated printing press. This allows high production from the printing press to be accommodated without necessarily having to provide an intermittent collection device. If necessary, the individual printed sheets can be guided along the individual conveyor streams in the shingled stream, which reduces the transport volume per unit of time compared to a similarly possible transport of single sheets or single sheets is significantly increased.

Durch die Aufteilung auf mindestens zwei Förderpfade können diese unterschiedlich gestaltet und deren Fördergeschwindigkeiten individuell angepasst werden. Dies trägt hinsichtlich der Weiterverarbeitung der Druckbogen zu Teilbuchblocks oder zu fertigen Buchblocks in der Reihenfolge der einzelnen Druckbogen resp. Einzelbogen dazu bei, dass das Fördersystem maximal flexibel betrieben werden kann.By dividing the conveyor paths into at least two, these can be designed differently and their conveyor speeds can be individually adjusted. This contributes to the conveyor system's maximum flexibility in terms of further processing the printed sheets into partial book blocks or into finished book blocks in the sequence of the individual printed sheets or single sheets.

Nach jeder Verzweigungsstelle am Ende des jeweiligen Förderpfades werden die dort transportierten Druckbogen -einzeln- über eine Durchlauffalzvorrichtung rittlings auf eine intermediäre Sammelvorrichtung überführt.After each branching point at the end of the respective conveyor path, the printed sheets transported there are transferred - individually - via a continuous folding device astride an intermediate collecting device.

Damit soll eine Reduzierung von beschädigungsbasierten Qualitätsproblemen bei gleichzeitiger Einhaltung einer sehr hohen Taktzahl und hoher produktbezogener Flexibilität erreicht werden.The aim is to reduce damage-based quality problems while maintaining a very high cycle rate and high product-related flexibility.

Die WO 01/14234 A1 offenbart ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Übernahme von mindestens zwei geschuppt angeordneten Blättern in eine Blatthandhabungsmaschine. Dabei wird durch eine Reduzierung der Geschwindigkeit des zweiten Blattes gegenüber der Geschwindigkeit des ersten Blattes eine Abstandsvergrößerung zwischen den beiden geschuppt angeordneten Blättern bewirkt, um diese anschließend zu kuvertieren. Ein Falzen von Blättern oder Bögen ist in der D2 nicht thematisiert.The WO 01/14234 A1 discloses a method and a device for transferring at least two sheets arranged in a shingled manner into a sheet handling machine. By reducing the speed of the second sheet relative to the speed of the first sheet, the distance between the two sheets arranged in a shingled manner is increased, allowing them to be subsequently inserted into envelopes. Folding sheets or sheets is not addressed in D2.

Die Die US 2004/214707 A1 offenbart das Falzen einzelner Blätter. In dieser Schrift ist weder ein Schuppenstrom noch eine Anordnung geschuppter Blätter thematisiert.The The US 2004/214707 A1 reveals the folding of individual leaves. This document does not address a stream of scales or an arrangement of scaled leaves.

Aufgabe und Vorteile der Erfindung:Object and advantages of the invention:

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Bogentransport- und Bearbeitungseffizienz von Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblättern zu verbessern.The invention is based on the object of improving the sheet transport and processing efficiency of printed sheets and/or single sheets.

Die Lösung der Aufgabe erfolgt ausgehend den Oberbegriffen der Ansprüche 1 und 8 durch deren kennzeichnende Merkmale. In den abhängigen Ansprüchen sind vorteilhafte und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen abgegeben.The problem is solved based on the preambles of claims 1 and 8 by their characterizing features. Advantageous and expedient developments are provided in the dependent claims.

Dementsprechend betrifft die Erfindung ein Bearbeitungs- und Förderverfahren für Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter. Dieses zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter an einer Zufuhrstelle einer Förderstrecke übergeben und nachfolgend zu einem Schuppenstrom versetzt übereinandergelegt werden.Accordingly, the invention relates to a processing and conveying method for printed sheets and/or single sheets. This method is characterized in that the printed sheets and/or single sheets are transferred to a feed point of a conveyor line and subsequently stacked in a staggered manner to form a shingled stream.

Dadurch befindet sich eine größere Anzahl von Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter auf der Förderstrecke als bei einem konventionellen Druckbögen- und/oder Einzelblättertransport, wodurch sogar bei vergleichsweise geringerer Bahngeschwindigkeit dennoch mehr Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter transportiert werden können.As a result, there is a larger number of printed sheets and/or single sheets on the conveyor line than with conventional printed sheets and/or single sheets transport, which means that even at a comparatively lower web speed, more printed sheets and/or single sheets can still be transported.

Die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter können dazu von einer stromaufwärts angeordneten Druckrolle z.B. mit Hilfe eines Abrollers und einer Schneideeinheit oder optional auch von einer Stapelvorrichtung zugeführt werden.The printed sheets and/or single sheets can be fed from an upstream printing roller, e.g. with the aid of a dispenser and a cutting unit or optionally also from a stacking device.

Eine bestimmte Anzahl von an der Zufuhrstelle zugeführten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter werden zur Bildung des Schuppenstroms in einzelne Schuppensequenzen oder Stapel zusammengefasst und aufeinandergelegt.A specific number of printed sheets fed to the feed point and/or single sheets are combined into individual scale sequences or stacks and placed on top of each other to form the scale stream.

Der Schuppenstrom wird danach einer Falzeinheit zugeführt und gefalzt, beispielsweise mit einer Pflugfalzeinheit und/oder einer Rillenfalzeinheit.The shingled stream is then fed to a folding unit and folded, for example with a plough folding unit and/or a creasing unit.

Die gefalzten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter des Schuppenstroms können auch mit weiteren Schuppenströmen oder Schuppensequenzen zusammengeführt werden. Diese weiteren Schuppenströme oder -sequenzen können z.B. von einer anderen Falzvorrichtung zugeführt werden, beispielsweise von einer stromaufwärts angeordneten.The folded printed sheets and/or single sheets of the shingled stream can also be merged with additional shingled streams or shingled sequences. These additional shingled streams or sequences can be fed from another folding device, for example, one located upstream.

Anschließend können die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter in den Schuppenstrom bzw. den Schuppensequenzen mit den ggf. weiteren Schuppenströmen oder Schuppensequenzen einer Sammelstrecke, insbesondere einer Sammelkette übergeben werden.The printed sheets and/or single sheets can then be transferred to the shingle stream or shingle sequences with any further shingle streams or shingle sequences of a collecting line, in particular a collecting chain.

Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter von einer Falzeinheit als (vor)gefalzte Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter an die Zufuhrstelle der Förderstrecke zugeführt werden.It can also be provided that the printed sheets and/or single sheets are fed from a folding unit as (pre-)folded printed sheets and/or single sheets to the feed point of the conveyor line.

Zur Einspeisung können die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter von einer Druckrolle oder einer dieser nachgeschalteten Schneidevorrichtung an die Zufuhrstelle der Förderstrecke zugeführt werden.For feeding, the printed sheets and/or single sheets can be fed from a printing roller or a cutting device downstream of this to the feed point of the conveyor line.

Alternativ oder auch zusätzlich können die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter von einer Stapelvorrichtung an die Zufuhrstelle der Förderstrecke zugeführt werden.Alternatively or additionally, the printed sheets and/or single sheets can be fed from a stacking device to the feed point of the conveyor line.

Durchgeführt wird das Verfahren mittels einer Bearbeitungsvorrichtung für die Bearbeitung von Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter vor deren Zufuhr zu einer Sammelstrecke. Diese Bearbeitungsvorrichtung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass eine Einheit zur Stapelung der Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter vorgesehen ist, die die an einer Zufuhrstelle einer Förderstrecke übergebenen Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter nachfolgend zu einem Schuppenstrom versetzt übereinandergelegt.The method is carried out using a processing device for processing printed sheets and/or single sheets before they are fed to a collection line. This processing device is characterized by a unit for stacking the printed sheets and/or single sheets, which subsequently stacks the printed sheets and/or single sheets transferred at a feed point of a conveyor line in a staggered manner to form an imbricated stream.

Die Einheit ist dazu ausgebildet, eine bestimmte Anzahl von an der Zufuhrstelle zugeführten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter zur Bildung des Schuppenstroms in einzelne Schuppensequenzen zusammenfassen und aufeinanderzulegen.The unit is designed to combine a specific number of printed sheets and/or single sheets fed into the feed point into individual shingle sequences and place them on top of one another to form the shingle stream.

Die Einheit führt die Schuppensequenzen einer Falzeinheit zu, die die Schuppensequenzen falzt.The unit feeds the shingle sequences to a folding unit, which folds the shingle sequences.

Die Falzeinheit kann als eine Pflugfalzeinheit und/oder einer Rillenfalzeinheit zum Falzen der Schuppensequenzen ausgebildet sein.The folding unit can be designed as a plow folding unit and/or a groove folding unit for folding the scale sequences.

Im Weiteren kann eine Zusammenführeinheit vorgesehen sein, die die gefalzten Schuppensequenzen mit weiteren Schuppensequenzen zusammenführt.Furthermore, a merging unit can be provided which merges the folded scale sequences with further scale sequences.

Demgemäß zeigt die Figur 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht auf eine Bearbeitungsvorrichtung für die Bearbeitung von Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter vor deren Zufuhr zu einer Sammelstrecke.Accordingly, the Figure 1 a perspective view of a processing device for processing printed sheets and/or single sheets before they are fed to a collecting line.

Die zu transportierenden und bearbeitenden, insbesondere zu falzenden Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter 11 ( s. Fig. 2 und Fig. 3) werden von einer hier beispielhaft dargestellten Abrollvorrichtung 1 abgerollt und von einer Schneidevorrichtung 2, welche insbesondere als Querschneidevorrichtung ausgebildet sein kann, zugeschnitten und an einer Zufuhrstelle 4 einer Förderstrecke 5 übergeben.The printed sheets and/or single sheets 11 to be transported and processed, in particular to be folded (see Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ) are unrolled by an unrolling device 1 shown here as an example and cut by a cutting device 2, which can in particular be designed as a cross-cutting device, and transferred to a feed point 4 of a conveyor line 5.

Im Zulaufbereich der Förderstrecke 5 ist eine Schuppvorrichtung 3 angeordnet. Diese Schuppvorrichtung 3 bildet aus den nacheinander zugeführten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter 11 Stapel 12 oder 12.5 (oder Schuppensequenzen), welche dann stromabwärts auf die Förderstrecke abgelegt werden.A shingling device 3 is arranged in the inlet area of the conveyor line 5. This shingling device 3 forms stacks 12 or 12.5 (or shingled sequences) from the successively fed printed sheets and/or single sheets 11, which are then deposited downstream onto the conveyor line.

Falls bereits zuvor ein solcher Stapel 12 oder 12.5 auf die Förderstrecke abgelegt wurde, wird der nachfolgende Stapel 12 oder 12.5 auf in Förderrichtung 7, gemäß dem zeitlichen Versatz und der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Förderstrecke 5 zwischen der Bildung der beiden Stapel 12 oder 12.5 versetzt diesen aufgelegt. Mehrere solcher nacheinander und aufeinander abgelegter Stapel 12 oder 12.5 bilden dann einen Schuppenstrom aus.If such a stack 12 or 12.5 has already been deposited on the conveyor line, the subsequent stack 12 or 12.5 is placed on top of the stack 12 or 12.5 in the conveying direction 7, according to the time offset and the conveying speed of the conveyor line 5 between the formation of the two stacks 12 or 12.5. Several such stacks 12 or 12.5 deposited one after the other and on top of the other then form an imbricated flow.

Anstelle von der Abrollvorrichtung 1 und der Schneidevorrichtung 2 können die Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter auch von einer Stapelvorrichtung 10 (vgl. Fig. 2 und Fig. 3) an die Zufuhrstelle 4 übergeben werden.Instead of the unwinding device 1 and the cutting device 2, the printed sheets and/or single sheets can also be fed by a stacking device 10 (cf. Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 ) to the supply point 4.

Die zu transportierenden und bearbeitenden Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter 11 werden als Schuppenstrom weitertransportiert, stromabwärts in einer Falzvorrichtung 6 gefalzt, dabei in Förder- und Bearbeitungsrichtung 7 bewegt und als Schuppenstrom anschließend einer Sammelvorrichtung 8 übergeben.The printed sheets and/or single sheets 11 to be transported and processed are transported further as an shingled stream, folded downstream in a folding device 6, moved in the conveying and processing direction 7 and then transferred as an shingled stream to a collecting device 8.

Die Sammelvorrichtung 8 kann vorzugsweise als Sammelkette ausgebildet sein, welche die gestapelten und gefalzten und zum Schuppenstrom übereinandergelegten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter schließlich einem Sammelhefter 20 übergibt.The collecting device 8 can preferably be designed as a collecting chain, which finally transfers the stacked and folded printed sheets and/or single sheets placed on top of one another to form a shingled stream to a gatherer-stitcher 20.

In der Figur 2 werden zur besseren Übersicht anstelle der in der Figur 1 gezeigten Vorrichtungen die Einzelblätter 11 in schematischer Abfolge des Verfahrens beispielhaft dargestellt.In the Figure 2 For a better overview, instead of the Figure 1 The individual sheets 11 are shown in a schematic sequence of the process by way of example.

Die Einzelblätter 11 werden dabei anstelle von der in der Figur 1 dargestellten Abrollvorrichtung 1 und der Schneidevorrichtung 2 von einer Stapelvorrichtung 10 an die Zufuhrstelle 4 übergeben. Anschließend werden sie zu einer vorbestimmten Anzahl übereinandergelegt um einen Stapel 12 (Schuppensequenz) von Einzelblätter 11 auszubilden. Die schuppenstromartigen Anordnung der Stapel 12 bzw. der Schuppensequenzen 12 ist in Förderrichtung 7 nach dem Einzelblatt 11 dargestellt.The individual sheets 11 are used instead of the Figure 1 The sheets are transferred from the unwinding device 1 and the cutting device 2 shown by a stacking device 10 to the feed point 4. They are then placed on top of one another in a predetermined number to form a stack 12 (shingle sequence) of single sheets 11. The shingle-flow-like arrangement of the stacks 12 or the shingle sequences 12 is shown in the conveying direction 7 after the single sheet 11.

Anstelle der in der Figur 2 dargestellten schuppenstromartigen Anordnung der Stapel 12 bzw. der Schuppensequenzen 12 sind in der Figur 3 als alternative Fördermöglichkeit drei Stapel 12 bzw. der Schuppensequenzen 12 in Förderrichtung 7 nacheinander platziert gezeigt. Die einzelnen Positionszeichen beziehen sich in jeder Figur durchgehend auf dieselben Merkmale.Instead of the Figure 2 The imbricated flow-like arrangement of the stacks 12 or the imbricated sequences 12 shown in the Figure 3 as an alternative conveying option, three stacks 12 or the shingle sequences 12 in conveying direction 7 one after the other shown placed. The individual position symbols refer to the same features throughout each figure.

Dieser aus übereinandergelegten Einzelblätter 11 gebildete Stapel 12 (die Schuppensequenz) wird anschließend mit weiteren derartigen Stapeln 12 (Schuppensequenzen) zu einem Schuppenstrom geformt. Der Schuppenstrom wird wiederum aus in Transportrichtung 7 hintereinander versetzt aufeinanderliegenden Stapeln 12 (Schuppensequenzen) gebildet und einer Falzvorrichtung 6 zugeführt.This stack 12 (the shingle sequence) formed from superimposed individual sheets 11 is then formed into an shingle stream with further such stacks 12 (shingle sequences). The shingle stream is in turn formed from stacks 12 (shingle sequences) offset one behind the other in the transport direction 7 and fed to a folding device 6.

In der Falzvorrichtung 6, die vorzugsweise als Pflugfalzvorrichtung ausgebildet ist, werden die Stapel oder Schuppensequenzen 12 gefalzt und als gefalzte Stapel 12.1 oder Schuppensequenzen 12.1 an die stromabwärtige Sammelvorrichtung 8 übergeben, die vorzugsweise als Sammelkette ausgebildet ist.In the folding device 6, which is preferably designed as a plow folding device, the stacks or shingle sequences 12 are folded and transferred as folded stacks 12.1 or shingle sequences 12.1 to the downstream collecting device 8, which is preferably designed as a collecting chain.

Die Sammelvorrichtung 8 übergibt die gefalzten Schuppensequenzen 12.1 anschließend z.B. an einen Sammelhefter 20. Dieser heftet die gefalteten Schuppensequenzen 12.1 zu gehefteten Schuppensequenzen 12.2, welche anschließend weitertransportiert werden.The collecting device 8 then transfers the folded shingle sequences 12.1, for example, to a gathering stitcher 20. This stitches the folded shingle sequences 12.1 to form stitched shingle sequences 12.2, which are then transported further.

In der Figur 4 ist ein zur Figur 2 alternatives Verfahren beispielhaft und symbolisch dargestellt.In the Figure 4 is a Figure 2 alternative procedure shown as an example and symbolically.

Darin werden die Druckbögen 11, bevor sie der Schuppvorrichtung 5 übergeben werden, zuerst mittels einer Falzvorrichtung 9, welche vorzugsweise als Rillenfalzvorrichtung ausgebildet sein kann, zu gefalzten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter 11.1 gefalzt.In this device, the printed sheets 11 are first folded into folded printed sheets and/or single sheets 11.1 by means of a folding device 9, which can preferably be designed as a groove folding device, before they are transferred to the shingling device 5.

Anschließend werden diese gefalzten Druckbögen und/oder Einzelblätter 11.1 von der Schuppvorrichtung 5 zu Stapeln 12.5 bzw. Schuppensequenzen 12.5 gebündelt und zu einem Schuppenstrom zusammengefügt, hier in Förderrichtung 7 nach dem Einzelblatt 11.1 als drei versetzt übereinanderliegend dargestellte Bündel oder Pakete.These folded printed sheets and/or single sheets 11.1 are then bundled by the shingling device 5 into stacks 12.5 or shingle sequences 12.5 and joined together to form a shingle stream, shown here in the conveying direction 7 after the single sheet 11.1 as three bundles or packages offset one above the other.

In der Figur 5 sind diese jedoch als drei nebeneinander angeordnete Stapel 12.5 bzw. Schuppensequenzen 12.5 dargestellt, wie oben zu Figur 3 bereits entsprechend dargelegt. Auch hierzu gilt, dass die einzelnen Positionszeichen sich in jeder Figur durchgehend auf dieselben Merkmale beziehen.In the Figure 5 However, these are shown as three stacks 12.5 or scale sequences 12.5 arranged next to each other, as described above. Figure 3 As already explained, the individual position symbols in each figure refer to the same features.

Das heißt, es ist beides möglich. Die einzelnen Schuppensequenzen können sich im Schuppenstrom übereinanderliegend befinden und nur durch einen etwas größeren Versatz voneinander getrennt sein, wie in den in den Figuren 2 und 4 dargestellten Ausführungen. Ihre Förderung kann aber auch so realisiert sein, dass sie in diesem Transportabschnitt hintereinander liegend gefördert werden, wie in den Figuren 3 und 5 dargestellt.This means that both are possible. The individual scale sequences can be located one above the other in the scale flow and separated from each other only by a slightly larger offset, as in the Figures 2 and 4 However, their conveyance can also be realized in such a way that they are conveyed one behind the other in this transport section, as shown in the Figures 3 and 5 shown.

Diese Stapel 12.5 bzw. Schuppensequenzen 12.5 werden anschließend der stromabwärtig angeordneten Falzvorrichtung 6 zugeführt und von dieser zu gefalzten Stapeln 12.6 bzw. Schuppensequenzen 12.6 gefalzt.These stacks 12.5 or shingle sequences 12.5 are then fed to the downstream folding device 6 and folded by it into folded stacks 12.6 or shingle sequences 12.6.

Dies gefalzten Stapeln 12.6 bzw. Schuppensequenzen 12.6 werden anschließend, entsprechend des in der Figur 2 offenbarten Verfahrens, mittels einer Sammelstrecke 8 weitertransportiert und z.B. mittels einem Sammelhefter zu gehefteten gefalzten Stapeln 12.7 bzw. Schuppensequenzen 12.7 geheftet.These folded stacks 12.6 or shingle sequences 12.6 are then, according to the Figure 2 disclosed method, transported further by means of a collecting section 8 and stapled, for example, by means of a gathering stitcher to form stapled folded stacks 12.7 or shingle sequences 12.7.
