Abstract

A conveying device directs printed products past a stationarily arranged ink jet printer. A control system initiates a printing operation by the printer each time a printed product passes through the effective printing zone or region of the printer. The conveying device comprises an individual conveyor equipped with gripper units arranged in spaced relationship from each other, each of which is structured to take-up or engage one printed product. The control system includes a pulse generator driven by the individual conveyor and transmits a control pulse for each one of the gripper units. The control pulse is suppressed by a monitor responsive to empty gripper units. Since the printed products are conveyed by the gripper units, their reference position relative to the conveying device is defined over the entire product conveying path. The control signal initiating the printing operation thus can be utilized for initiating other operations after passing through a delay element.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Adressieren von Zeitungen, Zeitschriften und dergleichen Druckprodukten gemäss dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for addressing newspapers, magazines and similar printed products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Die Erfindung betrifft ebenfalls eine Versandstrasse mit einer solchen Einrichtung.The invention also relates to a shipping line with such a device.

Eine solche Einrichtung ist beispielsweise aus einer im Jahres 1980 erschienen Druckschrift der Firma A.B. Dick Company, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA, unter dem Phantasienamen « Videojet-mailer bekannt geworden. Bei dieser Einrichtung werden die zu adressierenden Druckprodukte in mehr oder weniger freier Auflage auf einem Förderband und in Abständen voneinander unter den nach unten gerichteten Spritzköpfen des Tintenstrahl-Schreibers kontinuierlich vorbeigefördert.Such a device is, for example, from a publication by A.B. Dick Company, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA, has become known under the fancy name “Videojet-mailer. With this device, the print products to be addressed are continuously conveyed past in a more or less free edition on a conveyor belt and at intervals from one another under the downward-facing spray heads of the inkjet recorder.

Die Ankunft jedes einzelnen Exemplars in den Schreibbereich des Tintenstrahl-Schreibers wird direkt durch einen elektronischen Detektor erfasst, der dann den Schreibvorgang auslöst. Dadurch können zwar auch unregelmässige Lücken zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Druckprodukten berücksichtigt werden, so dass jedes Druckprodukt in dem dafür vorgesehenen Bereich adressiert werden kann. Die vorbekannte Einrichtung ist jedoch kaum imstande, z. B. den gesamten, in einer Schuppenformation anfallenden Ausstoss einer Rotationspresse synchron zu adressieren. Dazu müsste entweder die Fortbewegungsgeschwindigkeit der Druckprodukte soweit erhöht, d. h. der Schuppenstrom auseinandergezogen werden, dass Lücken zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Druckprodukten entstehen, oder aber es müssten die einzelnen Exemplare direkt im Schuppenstrom erfasst werden, was mit Schwierigkeiten und mithin mit Unsicherheiten verbunden ist. Es ist aber nicht etwa der Tintenstrahl-Schreiber, der im ersten Fall der Erhöhung der Fördergeschwindigkeit der Druckprodukte auf dem Förderband entgegensteht, denn jeder Spritzkopf eines heutigen Tintenstrahl-Schreibers (pro Adressen-Zeile ist jeweils ein Spritzkopf vorzusehen) vermag weit über 1 000 Zeichen pro Sekunde zu schreiben. Es sind vielmehr die doch eine gewisse Masse und zugleich eine gewisse Verletzlichkeit aufweisen Druckprodukte selbst, die nicht ohne weiteres eine derartige Erhöhung der Fördergeschwindigkeit vertragen.The arrival of each individual copy in the writing area of the inkjet recorder is detected directly by an electronic detector, which then triggers the writing process. As a result, irregular gaps between successive printed products can also be taken into account, so that each printed product can be addressed in the area provided for this purpose. However, the known device is hardly able, for. B. synchronously address the entire output of a rotary press in a scale formation. To do this, either the speed of travel of the printed products would have to be increased so far. H. the stream of shingles are pulled apart, that gaps arise between successive printed products, or the individual copies would have to be recorded directly in the stream of shingles, which is associated with difficulties and therefore with uncertainties. However, it is not the inkjet recorder that in the first case prevents the increase in the speed of the printed products on the conveyor belt, because every spray head of a current inkjet recorder (one spray head must be provided for each address line) is capable of well over 1,000 characters to write per second. Rather, they are a certain mass and at the same time have a certain vulnerability in printed products themselves, which cannot easily tolerate such an increase in the conveying speed.

Darüberhinaus verliert bei der bekannten Einrichtung das den Schreibvorgang auslösende Signal nach der Auslösung des Schreibvorganges jede Bedeutung, weil die Reiativlage des Druckproduktes zur Fördervorrichtung (das Druckprodukt liegt - wie bereits erwähnt - in freier Auflage auf einem Förderband auf) unbestimmt oder zumindest nur momentan bestimmt ist. Dementsprechend ist der Nutzen dieses Signales nur auf den Schreibvorgang beschränkt.In addition, in the known device, the signal which triggers the writing process loses any meaning after the triggering of the writing process, because the position of the printed product relative to the conveying device (as already mentioned - the printed product lies on a conveyor belt in free circulation) is indefinite or at least only determined at the moment . Accordingly, the use of this signal is limited only to the writing process.

Es ist daher ein Zweck der Erfindung eine Einrichtung der genannten Art zu schaffen, bei der Gewähr für eine saubere, gleichmässige Adressierung gegeben ist und bei der - wenn erwünscht - das Steuersignal zum Auslösen weiterer Operationen an den adressierten Druckprodukten auswertbar ist.It is therefore a purpose of the invention to provide a device of the type mentioned which guarantees a clean, uniform addressing and in which - if desired - the control signal for triggering further operations on the addressed print products can be evaluated.

Zu diesem Zweck weist die vorgeschlagene Einrichtung die Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 definierten Merkmale auf.For this purpose, the proposed device has the characteristics of claim 1 defined features.

Eine Versandstrasse mit der vorgeschlagenen Einrichtung ist im Patentanspruch 3 definiert.A shipping line with the proposed device is defined in claim 3.

Nachstehend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung näher erläutert. Es zeigt :

  • Figur 1 eine schematische Seitenansicht der Einrichtung, und
  • Figur 2 eine schematische Seitenansicht einer Versandstrasse, der die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Einrichtung vorgeschlatet ist
An exemplary embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing. It shows :
  • Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the device, and
  • Figure 2 is a schematic side view of a shipping line, the device shown in Fig. 1 is pre-slated

Bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Einrichtung 10 erkennt man einen Einzelförderer 11 (etwa wie in der CH-PS 592 562 oder in der US-PS-3 955 667 beschrieben) der mit in Abständen voneinander an einem nicht dargestellten, in einer Hohlschiene 12 geführten Zugorgan befestigten Greifern 13 bestückt ist.In the device 10 shown in FIG. 1, a single conveyor 11 can be seen (for example as described in CH-PS 592 562 or in US-PS-3 955 667), which is spaced apart from one another in a hollow rail 12, not shown guided pull member attached grippers 13 is equipped.

Jeder der Greifer 13 fasst die vorlaufende Kante eines Druckproduktes, hier den vorlaufenden Falz einer Zeitung 14 und bewegt diese in Richtung des Pfeiles 15. Die nachlaufenden Kanten der Zeitungen 14 gleiten über Gleitschienen 16. Die Formation, in der die Zeitungen 14 gefördert werden, ist somit eine aufgefächerte Schuppenformation S, in welcher der sogenannte « Schuppenabstand •, d. h. der Abstand aufeinanderfolgender vorlaufenden Kanten, in sehr geringen Toleranzen schwankt und über die gesamte Förderstrecke des Einzelförderers 11 gleich bleibt.Each of the grippers 13 grips the leading edge of a printed product, here the leading fold of a newspaper 14, and moves it in the direction of the arrow 15. The trailing edges of the newspapers 14 slide over slide rails 16. The formation in which the newspapers 14 are conveyed is thus a fanned out scale formation S, in which the so-called «scale distance •, d. H. the distance between successive leading edges fluctuates within very small tolerances and remains the same over the entire conveying path of the individual conveyor 11.

Unter den Gleitschienen 16 ist ein Satz Spritzköpfe 17 einer als Ganzes mit 18 bezeichneten Tintenstrahl- Schreibeinrichtung angeordnet. Die Spritzköpfe 17 sind von unten her auf die Schuppenformation S gerichtet. Jeder der Spritzköpfe 17 (gezeigt sind deren 3) ist einer der Zeilen der auf die Zeitungen 14 zu schreibenden Adresse zugeordnet. Die Spritzköpfe 17 sind daher auch in einer zur Zeichenebene rechtwinkligen Richtung zueinander versetzt angeordnet.A set of spray heads 17 of an ink jet writing device, designated as a whole by 18, is arranged under the slide rails 16. The spray heads 17 are directed onto the scale formation S from below. Each of the spray heads 17 (3 of which are shown) is assigned to one of the lines of the address to be written on the newspapers 14. The spray heads 17 are therefore also offset from one another in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the drawing.

Als Tintenstrahl-Schreibeinrichtung 18 (ink-jet-Drucker) kann im wesentlichen die unter dem Namen « videojet Serie 9400 » von der genannten Firma A.B. Dick Company, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA, vertriebene Einrichtung verwendet werden. Diese umfasst eine Aufbereitungseinheit 19 für die zu spritzende Tinte, von welcher eine Druckleitung 20 zu jedem der Spritzköpfe 17 ausgeht, während von diesen je eine Rücklaufleitung 21 zur Einheit 19 zurückführt. Die Einheit 19 sorgt dafür, dass jedem der Spritzköpfe 17 ein Tintenstrom mit einem auf einstellbare Weise konstant gehaltenen Druck zugeführt wird.Essentially, the inkjet writing device 18 (inkjet printer) known as A. video. Dick Company, Elk Grove Village, Illinois, USA. This comprises a processing unit 19 for the ink to be sprayed, from which a pressure line 20 extends to each of the spray heads 17, while a return line 21 leads from each back to the unit 19. The unit 19 ensures that each of the spray heads 17 is supplied with an ink stream with a pressure which is kept constant in an adjustable manner.

Zum Aufteilen des zugeführten Tintenstromes in eine dichte Folge von Tintentröpfchen (im vorliegenden Fall von 66 000 Tröpfchen pro Sekunde) und zur Aufladung dieser Tröpfchen sowie zu deren Ablenkung in die gewünschte Richtung ist jeder Spritzkopf 17 über einen Satz Steuerleitungen 22 an eine Steuereinheit 23 gekoppelt. Diese Steuereinheit ist über einen Datenkanal 24 vom Ausgang eines Mikrocomputers oder Rechners 25 aktiviert, in vorliegendem Falle beispielsweise Modell PDP 11/03 der Digital Equipment Corporation.For dividing the supplied ink flow In a dense sequence of ink droplets (in the present case 66,000 droplets per second) and for charging these droplets and for deflecting them in the desired direction, each spray head 17 is coupled to a control unit 23 via a set of control lines 22. This control unit is activated via a data channel 24 from the output of a microcomputer or computer 25, in the present case, for example, model PDP 11/03 from the Digital Equipment Corporation.

Der Rechner 25 erhält einerseits die von ihm zu verarbeitenden Daten über einen Datenkanal 26 von einem externen Adressenspeicher 27, in welchem beispielsweise die zu schreibenden Adressen auf Magnetband gespeichert sind.On the one hand, the computer 25 receives the data to be processed by it from an external address memory 27 via a data channel 26, in which, for example, the addresses to be written are stored on magnetic tape.

Nähere Angaben über den Aufbau und die Funktionsweise des Tintenstrahl-Schreibers 18 sind aus der von der genannten Firma A.B. Dick Company zum « videojet Tintenstrahi-Schreibers erhältlichen Literatur zu entnehmen.More detailed information on the structure and operation of the ink jet pen 18 is available from the company A.B. Dick Company on the literature available from «videojet Inkstrahi writer.

Im Gegensatz zur bekannten Einrichtung wird hier der Rechner 25 nicht durch ein direkt von der Anwesenheit oder Ankunft einer Zeitung 14 in dem Bereich der Spritzköpfe 17 aktiviert. Vielmehr ist ein vom Einzelförderer 11 über ein Kettenrad 29 angetriebener Taktgeber 28 vorgesehen, der mit einem Tachogenerator 30 kombiniert ist und der über eine Signalleitung 31 dem Rechner 25 für jeden eintreffenden Greifer 13 ein Signal abgibt. Da beim Einzelförderet 11 nicht auszuschliessen ist, dass von Zeit zu Zeit ein Greifer 13 leer bleibt, beispielsweise weil zuvor ein defektes Exemplar entnommen wurde, ist dem Taktgeber 28 ein auf leere Greifer ansprechender Wächter 32 (z. B. ein durch das Druckprodukt 14 betätigter Arbeitskontakt) zugeordnet, der verhindert, dass der Rechner 25 durch das vom Taktgeber 28 gelieferte Signal aktiviert wird. Dazu genügt es, falls der Wächter 32 ein Arbeitskontakt ist, dass dessen Ausgangssignal über eine weitere Signalleitung 33 im Rechner 25 zuerst einer Koinzidenzschaltung (z. B. zu einem UND-Gatter 34) zugeführt wird. Somit ist sichergestellt, dass der Schreibvorgang nur dann ausgelöst wird, wenn die Greifer 13 tatsächlich ein Druckprodukt führen.In contrast to the known device, the computer 25 is not activated here by the presence or arrival of a newspaper 14 in the area of the spray heads 17. Rather, a clock generator 28, which is driven by the individual conveyor 11 via a chain wheel 29, is provided, which is combined with a tachometer generator 30 and which outputs a signal to the computer 25 for each gripper 13 arriving via a signal line 31. Since it cannot be ruled out with the individual conveyor 11 that a gripper 13 remains empty from time to time, for example because a defective specimen has been removed beforehand, the clock 28 is a guard 32 responsive to empty grippers (e.g. one actuated by the printed product 14 Working contact) assigned, which prevents the computer 25 from being activated by the signal supplied by the clock generator 28. For this purpose, if the monitor 32 is a make contact, it is sufficient that its output signal is first fed to a coincidence circuit (eg to an AND gate 34) via a further signal line 33 in the computer 25. This ensures that the writing process is only triggered when the grippers 13 actually carry a printed product.

Das vom Greifer 13 veranlasste und somit (nach der Validierung durch den Wächter 32) diesem zugeordnete, adressenspezifische Steuersignal wird nun nicht nur zum Auslösen des Schreibvorganges benützt, sondern auch im Rechner nach Massgabe eines Parameters der Adresse (z. B. der Postleitzahl) einem von mehreren Schieberegistern 35 je mit verschiedenen Durchlaufzeiten zugeführt. Von diesen Schieberegistern geht je eine Signalleitung 36, 37, 38 aus.The address-specific control signal initiated by the gripper 13 and thus (after validation by the guard 32) assigned to it is now used not only to trigger the write process, but also in the computer according to a parameter of the address (e.g. the postcode) from several shift registers 35 each with different throughput times. A signal line 36, 37, 38 extends from these shift registers.

Nach Durchlauf des adressenspezifischen Signals durch eines der Schieberegister 35 hat sich der die Zeitung mit der entsprechenden Adresse führende Greifer 13 um eine bestimmte Strecke weiterbewegt. Wenn also das adressenspezifische Signal auf einer der Leitungen 36, 37 oder 38 ansteht, ist der entsprechende Schreibvorgang längst vorbei, aber der die entsprechende Zeitung führende Greifer befindet sich an einer von der Durchlaufzeit durch das Schieberegister abhängigen Stelle.After the address-specific signal has passed through one of the shift registers 35, the gripper 13 carrying the newspaper with the corresponding address has moved on by a certain distance. If the address-specific signal is present on one of the lines 36, 37 or 38, the corresponding writing process is long over, but the gripper carrying the corresponding newspaper is located at a point dependent on the throughput time through the shift register.

Dementsprechend (vergleiche Fig. 2) führen die Signalleitungen 36-38 zu entlang des Verlaufes des Einzelförderers 11 angeordneten Sammelstellen 40, 41 und genauer zu an diesen Sammelstellen angeordneten Steuerorgangen, die die Greifer 13 öffnen. In Fig. 2 ist für die Leitungen 37 und 38 das entsprechende Steuerorgan mit 42 bzw. 43 bezeichnet, während die Leitung 36 zu einer noch weiter stromabwärts vom Einzelförderer 11 liegenden Sammelstelle führt. Diese weitere Auswertung der vom Rechner 25 erzeugten adressenspezifischen Steuersignale ist jedoch nur möglich, weil diese nur von einem eine Zeitung führenden Greifer 13 aber nicht von der Zeitung selbst abgerufen werden. Nachdem diese adressenspezifischen Steuersignale den Schreibvorgang praktisch unverzögert ausgelöst haben, « begleiten sie gewissermassen den entsprechenden Greifer und veranlassen die Oeffnung und mithin die Freigabe des Druckproduktes an einer von einem Adressenparameter abhängigen Stelle.Accordingly (see FIG. 2), the signal lines 36-38 lead to collecting points 40, 41 arranged along the course of the individual conveyor 11 and more precisely to control devices arranged at these collecting points which open the grippers 13. In FIG. 2, the corresponding control element for lines 37 and 38 is designated 42 and 43, respectively, while line 36 leads to a collection point located even further downstream from the individual conveyor 11. However, this further evaluation of the address-specific control signals generated by the computer 25 is only possible because these are only called up by a gripper 13 which guides a newspaper but not by the newspaper itself. After these address-specific control signals have triggered the writing process with practically no delay, «they accompany the corresponding gripper to a certain extent and cause the opening and thus the release of the printed product at a location dependent on an address parameter.
