Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for converting to either face printing or perfecting of reversal units arranged between the individual printing units of a sheet-fed rotary printing press constructed in a row.
  • the printing sheets are detected by the printing cylinder by means of suction cups arranged on the reversing drum or three at the front or rear edge.
  • suction cups arranged on the reversing drum or three at the front or rear edge.
  • DE-OS 3 136 349 describes a solution for drive adjustment based on the DD-WP 135 812.
  • a double gear is arranged on the pressure cylinder journal.
  • the first gear is firmly connected to the pin, the second gear (ring gear) clamped and released using spring force and a friction lining attached to a ring on the face side.
  • the ring is also toothed with the first gear.
  • Actuators are arranged on the ring that transmits the contact pressure, which hydraulically clamp or release the connection.
  • a disadvantage is the relatively high effort for the realization of the tasks.
  • the hydraulic clamping devices are complex and separate from the gear arrangements.
  • a safety device for the changeover between fine and reverse printing is known.
  • the printing unit units are driven by a main drive via a gear train, with a sheet guide cylinder having a double gear wheel which can be switched by means of a friction clutch.
  • a ring gear of the double gear is in engagement with an additional gear via an intermediate gear, which is fixed on a drive shaft on the web of a planetary gear.
  • the epicyclic gearbox has an output shaft which secures the changeover via a switching disc, a switching block and a limit switch.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to develop a device for converting to perfect or perfecting, which using max. two gear levels, with only a single drum between two pressure cylinders, enables several successive turns and excludes subjective errors of the operating personnel.
  • the task is also to find a solution that allows the use of uniform printing cylinder wheels for perfecting or perfecting machines.
  • Hollow and solid shafts are connected by means of a clamping device to stiffen the gear train in printing operation and to reduce possible tooth play. For the phase shift of the turning drum, the connection of the shafts is released.
  • Intermediate spur gears 2, 2 ', 3 and 3' are arranged between a spur gear 4 of the turning drum and a spur gear 1 'of a pressure cylinder.
  • the intermediate spur gears 2 and 2 'assigned to the spur gear 1' of the pressure cylinder are designed as a double gear, only the intermediate spur gear 2 'being in engagement with the spur gear 1'.
  • the intermediate spur gear 2 is in engagement with the intermediate spur gear 3 arranged on a hollow shaft 5.
  • the hollow shaft 5 is received in a control device 16, which will be described in more detail later.
  • the intermediate spur gear 3 ' is fixed coaxially to the intermediate spur gear 3 on a solid shaft 6 which is arranged in the hollow shaft 5. Shafts 5 and 6 are recorded in control device 16.
  • the intermediate spur gear 3 ' is in engagement with the spur gear 4 of the turning drum.
  • the intermediate spur gears 2 'and 3' are corrected minus and the intermediate spur gears 2 and 3 are corrected for the same number of teeth plus. This ensures that the teeth of the Do not touch intermediate spur gears 2 'and 3', ie they are out of engagement.
  • Solid shaft 6 and hollow shaft 5 thus represent the connection between the intermediate spur gears 3 'and 3 and the control device 16.
  • the structure of the control device 16 is as follows.
  • a sun gear 7 is fixed coaxially to a sun gear 8 arranged on the solid shaft 6 on the hollow shaft 5 in the control device 16.
  • a rotatable web 11 supported on the shafts 5, 6 carries the planet gears 9 and 10 arranged parallel to one another.
  • the planet gear 9 stands with a ring gear 12 fixedly arranged on the control device 16 and the planet gear 10 with an externally toothed ring gear mounted on the solid shaft 6 13 engaged.
  • the externally toothed ring of the ring gear 13 is paired with a positioning and braking device 15 via a pinion 14.
  • the drive of the machine is initiated via the spur gear 4 of the turning drum and the meshing intermediate spur gear 3 ', via the solid shaft 6 to the sun gear 8 and the meshing planet gear 10.
  • the planet gear 10 rolls on the internal toothing of the ring gear 13 in connection with the planet gear 9 arranged on the rotatable web 11, which is paired with the fixed ring gear 12.
  • the ring gear 13 is fixed via its externally toothed ring, paired with the pinion 14 via the positioning and braking device 15.
  • the output to the spur gear 1 'of the pressure cylinder takes place via the planet gear 9, sun gear 7 and hollow shaft 5 and via the intermediate spur gears 3, 2, 2'.
  • the necessary phase shift of the turning drum is carried out by switching off the drive and switching on the positioning and braking device 15.
  • the gear train is closed by the single-width intermediate spur gears arranged downstream of the spur gear 1 'of the pressure cylinder (not shown in FIG. 1) and the spur gear of the subsequent drum.
  • the gear train is formed via the intermediate spur gears 2, 2', 3 ', 3 and a ring gear 4' of the turning drum.
  • the intermediate spur gears 2, 2 'assigned to the spur gear 1 of the first pressure cylinder are designed as double gears, the intermediate spur gear 2 being paired with the spur gear 1 and the intermediate spur gear 2' being paired with the ring gear 4 '.
  • the ring gear 4 'of the turning drum is in engagement with the intermediate spur gear 3' arranged on the solid shaft 6.
  • the solid shaft 6 is supported in a hollow shaft 5 and both shafts 5, 6 are received in the control device 16.
  • the intermediate spur gear 3 ' is arranged coaxially to the intermediate spur gear 3 fixed on the hollow shaft 5.
  • the intermediate spur gear 3 forms a pair of wheels with the spur gear 1 'of the second pressure cylinder.
  • the intermediate spur gears 2, 2 ', 3, 3' have a uniform tip diameter.
  • the structure of the control device 16 is analogous to the first example.
  • the drive is introduced via the spur gear 1 of the first pressure cylinder and the meshing intermediate spur gear 2 of the double gear, via the intermediate spur gear 2 'of the double gear to the ring gear 4' of the turning drum and via the intermediate spur gear 3 'in connection with the solid shaft 6 to the sun gear 8, Via the planet gears 10, 9, and sun gear 7 in connection with the hollow shaft 5 to the intermediate spur gear 3 and continued via the spur gear 1 'of the second pressure cylinder.
  • the required phase shift of the turning drum is carried out by switching off the drive and switching on the positioning and braking device 15 analogously to the first example.
  • the gear train is formed via the intermediate spur gears 2, 2' and 3, 3 '.
  • the intermediate spur gears 2, 2 ′ assigned to the spur gear 4 of the turning drum are designed as double wheels, only the intermediate spur gear 2 ′ being in engagement with the spur gear 4.
  • the intermediate spur gear 2 meshes with the intermediate spur gear 3 arranged on the hollow shaft 5.
  • the intermediate spur gear 3 ' is arranged on the solid shaft 6, which is accommodated in the hollow shaft 5.
  • Intermediate spur gear 3 ' is paired with the spur gear 1' of the pressure cylinder.
  • intermediate spur gears 2 'and 3' are corrected minus and the intermediate spur gears 2 and 3 are corrected for the same number of teeth plus, so that the intermediate spur gears 2 'and 3' are disengaged.
  • a bevel gear 19 is arranged on the drive shaft 18.1 and engages with a bevel gear 20 fixed on the solid shaft 6.
  • a bevel gear 21 is arranged diametrically opposite the bevel gear 19 on the output shaft 18.2 and engages with a bevel gear 22 fixed on the hollow shaft 5.
  • a spring pressure coupling 23 is arranged, which is magnetically, pneumatically or hydraulically separated for phase rotation between two printing units.
  • the drive shaft 18.1 is switched off for the necessary phase shift of the turning drum.
  • the bevel gear 21 in connection with bevel gear 22, hollow shaft 5, intermediate spur gear 3, the intermediate spur gears 2, 2 ' the drive for phase shifting of the turning drum is directed onto the spur gear 4.
  • the drive coming from the output shaft 18.2 is switched off.
  • the machine is driven via the drive shaft 18.1 or 18.2 after coupling the clutch 23.
  • the clutch 23 is de-energized when the machine is operating.
  • the bevel gears 20 and 22 are coupled in a rotationally synchronous manner via spring pressure.
