Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Druckan- und Druck­abstellen eines auf einen Formzylinder wirkenden Gegendruck­zylinders einer Rotationsdruckmaschine sowie zum Ausführen von dessen Weithubbewegung zum Zwecke des Formzylinderwechsels, mit Spindeln zum Anheben und Absenken der Lager des Gegendruck­zylinders und mit je einer auf die Spindeln wirkenden Druckmittel-Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit zum Andrücken des Gegendruck­zylinders an den Formzylinder.The invention relates to a device for printing on and off a counter-pressure cylinder acting on a forme cylinder of a rotary printing press and for carrying out its long stroke movement for the purpose of changing the forme cylinder, with spindles for raising and lowering the bearings of the counter-pressure cylinder and with one pressure medium piston acting on the spindles -Cylinder unit for pressing the impression cylinder against the forme cylinder.

Eine aus der DE-PS 33 37 309 bekannte Vorrichtung dieser Art, die sich in der Praxis gut bewehrt hat, besitzt eine verhältnis­mäßig aufwendige Konstruktion, so daß diese zu einer Verteuerung der Druckmaschine beiträgt.A device of this type known from DE-PS 33 37 309, which has proven itself well in practice, has a relatively complex construction, so that this contributes to an increase in the cost of the printing press.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, die einen einfacheren Aufbau besitzt und sich daher kostengünstiger herstellen läßt.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a device of the type specified at the outset, which has a simpler structure and can therefore be manufactured more cost-effectively.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Vorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß jede Spindelmutter rohrförmig ausgebildet und auf einem Rohrabschnitt der Spindel­mutter mit gleichem Außendurchmesser ein von einem Motor antreib­bares Ritzel undrehbar, aber über eine begrenzte Strecke axial verschieblich geführt angeordnet ist und daß die Ritzelnabe gestellfest gelagert ist. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung besteht in ihrer einfachsten Form nur aus einem die Spindel­mutter antreibenden Ritzel, das in der Weise auf der Spindel­mutter undrehbar aber über eine begrenzte Strecke zwischen Anschlägen axial verschieblich geführt ist, daß sich der Gegen­druckzylinder im Druckbetrieb auf dem Formzylinder abstützt, ohne zusätzlich durch Abstützung der Spindelmutter an dem Gehäuse belastet zu sein, so daß sich der gewünschte Andruck des Gegendruckzylinders an dem Formzylinder im wesentlichen allein durch die Druckmittel-Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit, bei der es sich üblicherweise um einen Pneumatikzylinder handeln wird, einstellen läßt.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a device of the generic type in that each spindle nut tubular and a non-rotatable pinion driven by a motor is arranged on a tube section of the spindle nut with the same outside diameter, but is axially displaceably guided over a limited distance and that the pinion hub is mounted fixed to the frame. In its simplest form, the device according to the invention consists only of a pinion driving the spindle nut, which is non-rotatably guided on the spindle nut but axially displaceable over a limited distance between stops in such a way that the impression cylinder is supported on the form cylinder during printing operation without additionally Support of the spindle nut to be loaded on the housing, so that the desired pressure of the impression cylinder on the forme cylinder can be adjusted essentially solely by the pressure medium-piston-cylinder unit, which will usually be a pneumatic cylinder.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Kolbenstange jeder Druckmittel-Kolben-­Zylinder-Einheit an den Endbereich je eines im Gestell gelagerten Hebels angelenkt, der sich zwischen den Anlenkstellen auf die Spindelmutter abstützt. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht es, in konstruktiv einfacher Weise den Gegendruckzylinder durch die beiden Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten zu belasten.Advantageously, the piston rod of each pressure medium-piston-cylinder unit is articulated to the end region of a lever mounted in the frame, which is supported on the spindle nut between the articulation points. This configuration enables the counter-pressure cylinder to be loaded in a structurally simple manner by the two piston-cylinder units.

Der Hebel kann sich über ein Drucklager auf einem Bund der rohr­förmigen Spindelmutter abstützen. Vorzugsweise ist der Hebel zwischen zwei Drucklagern der Spindelmutter eingespannt, von denen das obere von einer Druckfeder belastet ist.The lever can be supported on a collar of the tubular spindle nut via a thrust bearing. The lever is preferably clamped between two thrust bearings of the spindle nut, of which the upper one is loaded by a compression spring.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, daß jedes der Lager mit einer Einrichtung zum Kompensieren des Gewichts des Lagers, der mit diesem verbundenen Teile und des Gegendruckzylinders versehen ist. Diese Kompensationseinrichtung ermöglicht es, daß der Andruck des Gegendruckzylinders an den Formzylinder der feinfühlig nur durch die Kolben-Zylinder-Einheiten eingestellt werden kann, weil das Eigengewicht des Gegendruckzylinders und der Lager aufgehoben ist. Die Kompensationseinrichtung kann aus Federn gebildet sein und besteht zweckmäßigerweise aus einer pneumatischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit, die ähnlich wie eine auf eine bestimmte Kraft einstellbare Zugfeder wirkt.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided that each of the bearings is provided with a device for compensating for the weight of the bearing, the parts connected to it and the counter-pressure cylinder. This compensation device enables the pressure of the impression cylinder on the Forme cylinders that can only be adjusted with precision by the piston-cylinder units, because the dead weight of the impression cylinder and the bearings is eliminated. The compensation device can be formed from springs and expediently consists of a pneumatic piston-cylinder unit, which acts similarly to a tension spring that can be adjusted to a specific force.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist jedes der Lager durch ein über eine Umlenk­rolle laufendes Seil an die Kolbenstange der pneumatischen Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit angehängt.Each of the bearings is expediently attached to the piston rod of the pneumatic piston-cylinder unit by a rope running over a deflection roller.

In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß ein gestellfester Schalter vorgesehen ist, der in der Druckstellung einen Spalt zwischen der Nabe des Ritzesl bzw. einem mit dieser verbundenen Teil und einem Gegenanschlag der Spindelmutter überwacht. Der Gegenanschlag kann durch einen Bund der rohrförmigen Spindelmutter gebildet sein.In a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that a switch which is fixed to the frame is provided, which in the pressure position monitors a gap between the hub of the pinion or a part connected to it and a counter-stop of the spindle nut. The counter-stop can be formed by a collar of the tubular spindle nut.

An jeder der beiden Seitenwände 1,2 einer Tiefdruckmaschine ist jeweils ein Gehäuse 3 bzw. 4 befestigt. Da die beiden Seiten der Tiefdruckmaschine spiegelbildlich gleich ausgebildet sind, wird im folgenden nur die linke Seite der Tiefdruckmaschine näher erläutert.A housing 3 or 4 is attached to each of the two side walls 1, 2 of a gravure printing machine. Since the two sides of the rotogravure printing press are of identical design, only the left side of the rotogravure printing press is explained in more detail below.

Insbesondere aus Fig.3 ist ersichtlich, daß das Gehäuse 3,4 eine obere mit einem Kragen 5 versehene Durchgangsbohrung 6 und der untere Teil des Gehäuses eine Durchgangsbohrung 7 aufweist. Auf der inneren durch den Kragen 5 gebildeten Stufe stützt sich ein Wälzlager 8 ab, während ein weiteres Wälzlager 9 durch einen Deckel 10 gehalten ist, der die Bohrung 7 nach unten hin abschließt. Beide Lager 8 und 9 lagern die Nabe eines Ritzels 11, daß über eine Paßfeder 12 drehfest mit einem Rohr 13 verbunden ist, welches ein Innengewinde aufweist und eine Spindelmutter bildet. Die die Paßfeder 12 aufnehmenden Nuten sind länger ausgebildet als die Paßfeder, so daß das Ritzel 11 relativ zu dem Rohr 13 über eine kleine Strecke axial verschieblich ist. Der Verschiebeweg des Ritzels 11 relativ zu dem Rohr 13 ist durch Anschläge begrenzt. Das Innengewinde dieses Rohres 13 steht im Eingriff mit dem Außengewinde einer Gewindespindel 14. Letztere ist fest verbunden mit der Träger­platte 15 für die Anpreßwalze bzw. für den Presseur 16. Oberhalb des Gehäuses 3 wird das Rohr 13 mit Abstand von einem Hebel 17 umgriffen. Welcher im Punkte 18 schwenkbar gelagert ist wobei die Schwenkbewegung über eine pneumatische Kolben-Zylinder-­Einheit 19 erreicht wird. Diese pneumatische Kolben-Zylinder-­Einheit 19 ist auf nicht dargestellte Art und Weise mit der Seitenwand 1 verbunden. Der Hebel 17 weist zwe einander gegenüberliegende kalottenförmige Ausnehmungen 20 und 21 auf, in denen jeweils ein Lagerdeckel eines Drucklagers 22 bzw. 23 gelagert ist. Der zweite zum oberen Lager 22 gehörende Lager­deckel wird über eine Feder 24 und eine auf das Rohr 13 aufgeschraubte Mutter 25 derart angepreßt, daß sich der dem Hebel 17 zugreordnete Lagerdeckel des Drucklagers 23 stets spielfrei an den Kragen 25 des Rohres 13 anlegt, der den zweiten Lagerdeckel des Drucklagers 23 bildet. Aus der Figur 1 ist zu ersehen, daß mit dem Gehäuse 3 ein Motor 27 verbunden ist, auf dessen Antriebswelle 28 ein Antriebsritzel 29 befestigt ist, welches über einen Zahnriemen 30 mit dem Ritzel 11 in Antriebs­verbindung steht.It can be seen in particular from FIG. 3 that the housing 3, 4 has an upper through-bore 6 provided with a collar 5 and the lower part of the housing has a through-bore 7. A roller bearing 8 is supported on the inner step formed by the collar 5, while a further roller bearing 9 is held by a cover 10 which closes off the bore 7 at the bottom. Both bearings 8 and 9 support the hub of a pinion 11 that is rotatably connected via a feather key 12 to a tube 13 which has an internal thread and forms a spindle nut. The keys 12 receiving grooves are longer than the key, so that the pinion 11 is axially displaceable relative to the tube 13 over a small distance. The displacement of the pinion 11 relative to the tube 13 is limited by stops. The internal thread of this tube 13 is in engagement with the external thread of a threaded spindle 14. The latter is firmly connected to the carrier plate 15 for the pressure roller or for the impression roller 16. Above the housing 3, the tube 13 is gripped by a lever 17 at a distance. Which is pivotally mounted at point 18, the pivoting movement being achieved via a pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 19. This pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 19 is connected to the side wall 1 in a manner not shown. The lever 17 has two opposing dome-shaped recesses 20 and 21, in each of which a bearing cover of a thrust bearing 22 or 23 is mounted. The second bearing cap belonging to the upper bearing 22 is pressed via a spring 24 and a nut 25 screwed onto the tube 13 in such a way that the Lever 17 associated bearing cover of the thrust bearing 23 always creates play on the collar 25 of the tube 13, which forms the second bearing cover of the thrust bearing 23. From Figure 1 it can be seen that a motor 27 is connected to the housing 3, on the drive shaft 28 a drive pinion 29 is fixed, which is in drive connection with the pinion 11 via a toothed belt 30.

Aus der Figur 2 ist zu erkennen, daß das Gewicht der Träger­platte 15 von einer Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 31 getragen wird, deren Kolbenstange 32 mit einem Seil 33 verbunden ist, welches umgelenkt über eine Rolle 34 mit der Trägerplatte 15 verbunden ist. Der Druck, mit dem die Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 31 beaufschlagt wird, ist einstellbar, so daß ein ganz genau definierter Anteil des Gewichts der Trägerplatte 15 sowie des Presseurs 16 aufgenommen werden kann.It can be seen from FIG. 2 that the weight of the carrier plate 15 is borne by a piston-cylinder unit 31, the piston rod 32 of which is connected to a rope 33 which is deflected to the carrier plate 15 via a roller 34. The pressure with which the piston-cylinder unit 31 is acted on is adjustable so that a very precisely defined proportion of the weight of the carrier plate 15 and of the impression roller 16 can be absorbed.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist die Druckposition dargestellt, in der der Kragen 26 einen Abstand zum Lager 8 aufweist. Soll nun ein neuer Formzylinder 35 eingesetzt werden, wird zunächst einmal der Motor 27 eingeschaltet, so daß über das Ritzel 29, den Zah­nriemen 30, das Ritzel 11 und die Paßfeder 12 das Rohr 13 in Drehung versetzt wird. Die Drehrichtung ist dabei so gewählt, daß sich die Gewindespindel 14 in Pfeilrichtung A nach oben bewegt, wobei sich zunächst einmal der Kragen 26 gegen das Lager 8 anlegt und den Presseur 16 über die Trägerplatte 15 vom Formzylinder 35 abhebt. Nach einem gewissen Hub, der bestimmt wird durch den Mikroschalter 37, wird der Motor 27 abgeschaltet (Figur 1). Sobald nun ein anderer Formzylinder und gegebenen­falls auch noch ein anderer Presseur eingelegt worden sind, die denselben oder auch einen anderen Durchmesser aufweisen können als die zuvor eingesetzten, wird der Motor 27 gegensinnig derart angetrieben, daß über die zuvor schon beschriebenen Elemente die Gewindespindel 14 entgegen der Pfeilrichtung des Pfeiles A nach unten bewegt wird, bis sich der Presseur 16 auf den neu eingesetzten Formzylinder auflegt. Bei weiterer Drehung des Motors 27 kann sich folglich dann die Gewindespindel 14 nicht weiter nach unten bewegen. Dies bedeutet, daß sich statt dessen das Rohr 13 nach oben bewegt und sich der Kragen 26 vom Lager abhebt. Dabei wird der Hebel 18 um seinen Lagerpunkt im Uhrzeigersinn so weit verschwenkt, bis dieser den Mikroschalter 36 betätigt (siehe Figur 2), wodurch dann der Motor 27 gestoppt wird. Da die pneumatische Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 19 ständig unter einem genau definierten eingestellten Druck steht, wird dieser genau eingestellte Druck auf den Presseur übertragen, und zwar unabhängig von Durchmesser des Presseurs und vom Durch­messer des Formzylinders. Sollte sich aufgrund eines Fehlers während des Druckvorgangs der Spalt zwischen dem Kragen 26 und dem Lager 8 verkleinern, wird über dem Hebel 17 der Mikroschalter 36 betätigt, wodurch beispielsweise eine optische oder akustische Warneinrichtung eingeschaltet wird. Die Bedienungsperson muß dann über eine nicht dargestellte Einrichtung den Motor 27 solange einschalten, bis sich wieder ein Spalt zwischen Kragen 26 und Lager 8 einstellt.FIGS. 1 and 2 show the printing position in which the collar 26 is at a distance from the bearing 8. If a new forme cylinder 35 is to be used, the motor 27 is first switched on, so that the tube 13 is rotated via the pinion 29, the toothed belt 30, the pinion 11 and the feather key 12. The direction of rotation is selected such that the threaded spindle 14 moves upward in the direction of arrow A, the collar 26 first resting against the bearing 8 and lifting the impression roller 16 from the forme cylinder 35 via the carrier plate 15. After a certain stroke, which is determined by the microswitch 37, the motor 27 is switched off (FIG. 1). As soon as a different forme cylinder and possibly also another impression roller have been inserted, which can have the same or a different diameter than the ones previously used, the motor 27 is driven in opposite directions in such a way that the threaded spindle 14 counteracts the elements already described above Direction of arrow of arrow A after is moved down until the impression roller 16 lies on the newly inserted forme cylinder. As the motor 27 rotates further, the threaded spindle 14 cannot move any further downwards. This means that instead the tube 13 moves upwards and the collar 26 lifts up from the bearing. The lever 18 is pivoted clockwise around its bearing point until it actuates the microswitch 36 (see FIG. 2), as a result of which the motor 27 is then stopped. Since the pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 19 is constantly under a precisely defined, set pressure, this precisely set pressure is transmitted to the impression cylinder, regardless of the diameter of the impression cylinder and the diameter of the forme cylinder. Should the gap between the collar 26 and the bearing 8 decrease due to an error during the printing process, the microswitch 36 is actuated via the lever 17, whereby, for example, an optical or acoustic warning device is switched on. The operator must then switch on the motor 27 via a device (not shown) until a gap between the collar 26 and the bearing 8 is again established.

Da das gesamte Gewicht der Trägerplatte 15 und des Presseurs 16 von der Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit 31 getragen wird, kann unabhängig vom Gewicht eine sehr, feinfühlige und exakte Druckeinstellung erfolgen.Since the entire weight of the carrier plate 15 and the impression roller 16 is borne by the piston-cylinder unit 31, a very, sensitive and exact pressure setting can take place regardless of the weight.

Die Druckan- und Druckabstellbewegungen des Gegendruckzylinders 16 erfolgt durch eine NC-Steuerung über die Motoren 27.The pressure-on and pressure-off movements of the counter-pressure cylinder 16 take place by means of an NC control via the motors 27.

Die Gewindespindel 14 ist durch Faltenbalge 38 und 39 gegen äußere Einflüsse und insbesondere gegen Schmutz geschützt.The threaded spindle 14 is protected by bellows 38 and 39 against external influences and in particular against dirt.
