Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drum for transporting sheets according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a generic sheet transfer drum for sheet-fed rotary printing presses with a gripper device which grips the front edge of the sheet and suction elements which grasp the rear edge of the sheet for tensioning and smoothing the sheet is known.
  • movements generated in the running direction and transversely to the running direction of the sheet are superimposed by means of adjustable cam mechanisms and transmitted to the suction elements in such a way that the suction elements at the end of the sheet cause a diagonal sheet tensioning movement.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a drum for transporting sheets, the trailing edge in the areas between the center line of the sheet in the transport direction and the two side edges of the sheet is tightened in different pulling directions and bubble-shaped distortions of the sheet are eliminated.
  • the advantages of the present invention are, in particular, that the sheets of paper are wrinkle-free and flat on the circumferential surface of the drum, despite acceleration and centrifugal forces, air vortices, forces due to static charging and paper draft aligned and held.
  • the sheets are drawn and held tightly from a point, which is approximately in the middle of the front edge of the sheet.
  • force components also act in the axial direction at the end of the sheet so that the sheets also lie wrinkle-free on the drum body in this area.
  • the sheet transfer or storage drum 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of a drum base body 2, which is mounted in the machine frame 5 in the usual way via hollow shaft journals 3, 4 connected to it.
  • the drum body is provided in a known and therefore not described manner with a series of grippers 6, which serve to grip the front edges of the sheets fed by a transfer drum 7.
  • a shaft 8 is freely rotatably mounted in the hollow shaft journal 3, 4 of the drum base body 2. On this shaft 8 sections or in the form of segments holding parts 9 are attached, which are provided along a surface line of the sheet transfer drum 1 with suction nozzles 10 for detecting the trailing edges of the sheet. Suction air is supplied to these suction nozzles 10 in a known manner through a suction air rotary feedthrough via the shaft designed as a hollow shaft 8.
  • Gears 13, 14 are arranged parallel to one another with the same diameter, the same number of teeth and the same pitch on the hollow shaft journal 4 and the end of the shaft 8 which projects above it.
  • Gear 13 is fixedly connected to the drum base body 2.
  • the gear 14 is rotatably mounted on the shaft 8 and is on the one hand connected to the gear 13 by a releasable coupling 22 and on the other hand via joints 46; 47 and an intermediate coupling 48, a crankshaft-shaped lever 49, a bearing 50 of the roller 51 and a groove 52 fixed to the frame are connected to a lever 53 on the hollow shaft 8.
  • the releasable coupling 22 can be, for example, of the type described in DE-OS 35 34 486.
  • a control device 54 consisting of the parts 46 to 53, the uniform rotary movement of the shaft 8 and the holding part 9 arranged thereon with the gripper device 42, and the suction nozzles 10, an oscillating additional movement in the direction of arrow C is superimposed.
  • the angle lever 49 is slit-shaped at the pivot point 47. In a slot 55, the joint 47 is slidably and securely arranged.
  • the transfer drum 7 supplying the sheet and a turning drum 15 are placed on the sheet transfer drum 1 in the manner shown.
  • the transfer drum 7 is provided with grippers 16 and feeds the sheets from the first printing unit 17 to the sheet transfer drum 1.
  • the turning drum 15 has a gripper system 18 provided and feeds the sheets to a second printing unit 19. Depending on whether it is in straight printing or face and back printing operation, the grippers 20, 21 of the gripper system 18 grasp the sheet on the sheet transfer drum 1 at its front or rear edge.
  • the gear wheel of the transfer drum 7 meshes with the gear 13 fastened on the hollow shaft journal 4 of the drum base body 2, while the gear wheel of the turning drum 15 is in engagement with the gear wheel 14 which is fastened on the shaft 8.
  • Stops are provided between the gear wheels 13, 14 or the two parts (drum base body 2 and holding parts 9) of the sheet transfer drum 1 which can be rotated relative to one another, which abut one another when the sheet transfer drum 1 is set to face printing operation. These stops, not shown in the drawing, thus secure the fine printing position, in which the grippers 20 of the gripper system 18 of the turning drum 15 correspond to the grippers 6 of the sheet transfer drum 1. If the printing press is to be reset from face and back printing to face printing, only the stops need to be moved against each other.
  • the arc distance corresponds ⁇ ⁇ the sheet transfer drum of the sheet section ⁇ ⁇ the turning drum 15, the length of the Arches ⁇ ⁇ from the displacement distance of the trailing edge of the sheet when turning minus the paper margin necessary to grasp the sheet.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 a drum 1 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is shown in a more precise representation.
  • the grippers 6, which grip the leading edge of the sheet, are arranged on the basic drum body 2.
  • the grippers 6 are in operative contact with control cams 27 fixed to the frame via bearings 23 of the gripper shaft and a lever 24 and a roller 26. After the arc 28 has been transferred, the grippers 6 close.
  • the arc 28 is clamped between the gripper 6 and the gripper stop 29.
  • the gripper 29 has fork-like extensions 31 which mesh with the fork-like extensions 32 of the holding part 9.
  • the suction nozzles 10 can be moved in slots 33 in the direction of arrow C.
  • the slots 33 are aligned with their longitudinal axes in the radial direction to point 34.
  • the point 34 represents the center of the leading edge of the sheet. This means that the sheet 28 held with the grippers 6 but not shown in FIG. 4 is sucked in and streamlined towards the outer edges from the point 34.
  • This is done by the movable arrangement of the suction nozzles 10 in the slots 33. From FIG. 3 it can be seen that the suction nozzles 10 can be moved by the amount a. This is accomplished by a drive 36 which is operated by a frame-fixed control curve 37 is applied.
  • the drive 36 consists of a tab on the suction nozzle 10, which is connected via a ball joint to a coupling which in turn acts on the control cam 37 via a toggle lever and a roller.
  • the suction nozzles 10 are arranged in recesses 38 of the holding part 9.
  • the suction nozzles 10 are spherical at their base and have a corresponding seat on the hollow shaft 8 through which suction air is guided (symbolically shown in FIGS. 1 and 2).
  • the suction nozzle 10 has a collar 39 on which a conical compression spring 41, which extends in the direction of the head part of the suction nozzle 10, is supported.
  • the compression spring 41 has its second abutment on an edge which is formed as a result of the tapering of a recess 38.
  • grippers 42 can alternatively be arranged behind the nozzle 10, which are operatively connected to a frame-mounted control cam 44 by a known drive 43.
  • the alternatively arranged grippers 42 grip the sheet 28 after it has been spread by the movable suction nozzles 10. By a defined tensioning movement of the holding part 9 by 0.2 to 1.0 mm, the sheets 28 are stretched by this amount, so that folds, plate sheets or Full-wave edged arches rest on the outer surface.
  • the drive 43 for the gripper 42 consists of a mounted gripper shaft and a roller lever which is in engagement with the frame-fixed control cam 44 via a roller.
  • the grippers 42 rest on the rear edge of the holding part 9, on which the arch 28 ends (FIG. 3).
  • the stretching movement of the holding part 9 designed with the grippers 42 relative to the drum base body 2 with the grippers 6 is brought about by a stroke of the control device designated overall by 54.
  • the grippers 42 with the associated gripper supports move by means of the holding part 9 on an arc of a circle whose radius corresponds to the radius of the drum 1.
  • the extended lines of the direction of movement of the suction elements 10 intersect at a point 34 which lies on the circumferential line, preferably the central circumferential line of the drum 1.
  • This point 34 can both in the area of the gripper pad Grippers 6 are also about ten to fifteen millimeters outside the support of the grippers 6; depending on what angles the extended lines of the direction of movement of the suction elements 10 take. This point 34 can even lie beyond the amount of ten to fifteen millimeters outside the support of the grippers 6.
