Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plate cylinder of a printing press with at least one tensioning rail arranged in a pit of the plate cylinder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a plate cylinder with these features is described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschrift 3 843 395.
  • a so-called flat track guide is provided there for the adjustment of the tensioning rail, in which the flat underside of the tensioning rail can be adjusted on the flat top of a guide.
  • These known flat web guides cannot be mastered particularly well in the forces that occur. For example, the tensioning rail can tip if large forces act on it. It is also problematic to adjust the tensioning rail in all directions of the plane mentioned, because in the prior art there is often only one adjustment possibility in the circumferential direction (tensioning direction). Adjustment in this direction in some embodiments of known fastening devices of this type necessitates readjustment in the direction perpendicular thereto (axial direction), i.e. the adjustments in these two mutually perpendicular directions are not completely independent of one another.
  • the invention avoids these disadvantages. It is based on the task of proposing a fastening of a tensioning rail on a plate cylinder, which enables the tensioning rail to move freely in the entire adjustment plane.
  • the tensioning rail should be stored very precisely and stably and still be able to be shifted to the desired extent in the plane mentioned so that it can be positioned precisely.
  • the tensioning rail is supported on the adjustment plane by at least two spaced-apart axial bearings, consisting of rolling elements arranged in an annular cage.
  • the rolling elements can be formed either by balls or by rollers, wherein rollers arranged in an annular cage are also referred to as roller rings.
  • the tensioning rail is mounted or fastened via at least two structural units, each with two axial bearings, which would then have to be referred to as a roller and cage assembly when using roller and cage assemblies.
  • roller crown assemblies allow the tensioning rail to move freely in the adjustment plane, in all directions thereof.
  • the fastening of the roller ring assemblies to the cylinder must be designed so that the roller ring assemblies can follow all movements in this plane.
  • Each assembly therefore preferably has a fastening plate which can be fastened to the cylinder and which has a hole with a diameter which is larger than a fastening screw which extends through the hole and which is screwed into the tensioning rail, the fastening screw being connected to the working parts of the structural unit, ie to those parts which are displaced relative to the cylinder.
  • each roller ring assembly has an upper and a lower roller ring, between which the fastening plate mentioned is arranged. These units are then covered by an upper and a lower cover plate.
  • two outer and one central eccentric engage on the plate cylinder, by means of which the tensioning rail can be adjusted in the adjustment plane.
  • the tensioning rail is adjusted in the circumferential direction via the two outer eccentrics, ie for tensioning or releasing a pressure plate attached to the tensioning rail in question and with the aid of the central eccentric the tensioning rail can be adjusted in the axial direction. Based on geometric considerations, it follows that the adjustments of all three eccentrics depend on one another, because they are coupled to one another by the rigid tensioning rail.
  • a longitudinal groove and a transverse groove are formed on the underside of the tensioning rail, into which sliding blocks are inserted, into which the actuating ends of the eccentrics engage.
  • the grooves should be provided approximately in the middle on the underside of the tensioning rail. The other ends of the eccentrics are fixed to the cylinder.
  • the eccentrics can be adjusted by motor or by hand. In the case of a motorized adjustment, this should take place via a suitable control so that the operator of the machine can determine the actual positions of the eccentrics and thus also the tensioning rail at any time and can enter desired target positions in the control. Of course, this can also be provided by manually adjusting the eccentric.
  • the attachment according to the invention can also be provided only on a single clamping rail of a pressure cylinder; insofar as it is only important that the other end of the pressure plate, at which end therefore does not attack the tensioning rail designed according to the invention, is held in a suitable manner, for example via spring-loaded pins which engage in holes made in the pressure plate there, via a conventional tensioning rail and right away.
  • tensioning rails designed according to the invention can also be attached to both ends of the pressure plate.
  • a plate cylinder 1 with its cylinder pit 2 is indicated.
  • a tensioning rail 3 is fastened in this.
  • Fig. 1 also shows that a pressure plate 4 is attached to the tensioning rail, the beginning of printing is indicated at item 5.
  • the tensioning rail 3 is fastened to the plate cylinder 1 by means of roller ring assemblies. These consist of a middle fastening plate 6 and an upper and a lower cover plate 7, 8. Between the fastening plate and the respective cover plate, a roller ring 9 is arranged in each case. 2 shows in particular that the roller and cage assemblies essentially consist of rolling elements 10 which are arranged in a cage on a circular ring.
  • a fastening screw 11 is inserted through central through holes 12 in the cover plates 7, 8 and also through an elongated hole 13 in the fastening plate 6.
  • the elongated hole is not only longer in its longitudinal direction than the shaft of the screw 11, but also transversely thereto, so that the mounting plate 6 can move on all sides relative to the screw 11.
  • Fig. 2 shows a schematic plan view of the tensioning rail, the center of the printing machine being indicated at item 18.
  • a longitudinal groove 19 is provided approximately in the center (cf. also FIG. 4) and also a transverse groove 20 running approximately in the center.
  • Sliding blocks 22 are inserted into the grooves 19, 20. These are characterized by the smoothest possible surfaces and they are fitted into the grooves without play.
  • the sliding blocks have center bores 23 into which pins 24 of eccentrics 25 engage.
  • the pins 24 are arranged eccentrically to the cylinder parts 26 of the eccentric.
  • the eccentricity is indicated in Fig. 4 at item 27. It results from the distance of the center b of the gear 29 from the axis a of the pin 24. See also FIG. 3.
  • Fig. 4 is also indicated that the eccentric 25 can be adjusted via a motor 28 with gear 29.
  • Fig. 3 the structurally determined distance 30 between the beginning of printing 5 and the starting position 31 (rest position) of the tensioning rail is shown. Starting from this target position, the actual position of the tensioning rail can be calculated and set.
