Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for supporting the controlled copy transport in the folder of rotary printing presses, in particular when the transport direction of copies is reversed on copy-guiding cylinders.
  • the object of the invention is to optimize a device for supporting the controlled transport of specimens in such a way that the specimen transport always remains manageable even with processing speeds which are still to be increased.
  • the guide means is designed as a suction roll jacket.
  • holes are made in an annular arrangement. Since these bores are made in thickened areas of the suction roll casing, the suction roll casing can withstand the mechanical stresses with low mass.
  • running surfaces for conveyor belts are provided between the annular arrangements of bores. The conveyor belts running on these running surfaces drive the suction roll jacket at the circumferential cylinder speed in order to eliminate speed differences. Furthermore, the specimens guided on the circumference of the suction roll shell can be taken over directly from running runs of the conveyor belts.
  • the body is designed as a suction roll axis which has a vacuum chamber.
  • the vacuum chamber can be used in a volume flow adjustable vacuum source can be connected to ensure correct and safe installation of individual copies on the circumference of the suction roll jacket, depending on the substrate to be processed and the processing speeds to be driven.
  • the vacuum chamber can be subdivided into at least two partial chambers by means of webs. When processing web strands with only half the width, this allows, for example, only half of the vacuum chamber to be subjected to negative pressure. If the web can be moved in the axial direction inside the vacuum chamber, the axial effective range can be adapted to different requirements.
  • the suction roll shell can be advanced or lagged relative to the circumferential speed of the cylinder holding the specimen.
  • elastic rings can be mounted on the running surfaces to change the diameter of the running surfaces.
  • the setting of the lead or lag of the suction roll shell relative to the cylinder circumferential speed can be of particular importance for the processing of larger specimens that are combined from several web strands.
  • FIG. 1 shows the side view of a suction roll axis.
  • the suction roll axis 6 contains a vacuum chamber 6c which is delimited by the dashed lines.
  • a nozzle receiving opening 5a is provided in the end face of the suction roll axis 6.
  • a receiving piece 6a is provided, with which the suction roll axis 6 is received in a holder.
  • FIG. 2 shows the front view of a suction roll axis.
  • the nozzle receiving opening 5a extends to the vacuum chamber 6c.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section through the suction roll jacket and suction roll axis together with the vacuum chamber.
  • a bracket 2 is received via a screw 3.
  • a locking screw 4 is received, which engages in the thread made in the receiving piece 6a.
  • the Receiving piece 6a is provided with a concave recess, which allows a suction air line to be placed on an air connection 5.
  • the air connection 5 is received in the socket opening 5a of the suction roll axis 6 and connects a vacuum source which can be regulated in the air volume flow to the vacuum chamber 6c.
  • a bearing 6b is also accommodated on the suction roller axis 6 and rotatably supports the suction roller shell 7 on the suction roller axis 6.
  • the bearing is axially secured via circlips 7c.
  • the suction roll jacket 7 is provided on its circumference both with annular treads 7b forming depressions and with annular thickenings in which the bores 7a are made.
  • thickenings and depressions follow in the axial direction on the circumference of the suction roll shell 7 alternately.
  • Conveyor belts run in the depressions forming the running surfaces 7b in the circumference of the suction roll shell 7 and set the suction roller shell 7 in rotation relative to the suction roller axis 6. Since the suction roll axis 6 and suction roll casing 7 have a very slim design, a rapid build-up of the negative pressure in the vacuum chamber 6c is ensured at the individual bores 7a of the suction roll casing 7.
  • FIG. 4 shows the installation position of the suction roll jacket on the suction roll axis with the ascending and descending conveyor belt runs in the gusset of two exemplarizing cylinders.
  • the bracket 2 received on the machine wall side receives the receiving piece 6a of the suction roller axis 6 via the locking screw 4.
  • Vacuum chamber 6c is subjected to negative pressure via air connection 5.
  • Conveyor belts 12, which set the suction roll casing 7 in rotation, run on the depressions shown in dashed lines on the suction roll casing 7.
  • the drive is initiated according to the cylinder circumferential speed of the exemplar-carrying cylinder 9 through the pull strand 12b; the traction strand 12b of the conveyor belts lies on the surface of the cylinder 9 carrying the specimen and conveys the specimen 13.
  • the strands running onto the suction roll jacket 7 are designated by 12a.
  • the copy 13 which is also separated from a web strand formed from several layers, is received on the copy-leading cylinder 8, the folding knife cylinder, and is conveyed out of the cylinder gusset 10 in the direction of the arrow.
  • Folding knives not shown here, have pushed the specimen - for example in the center - into a folding flap of the specimen-carrying cylinder 9, also not shown.
  • the specimen 13 is withdrawn from the specimen-guiding cylinder 9, the folding jaw cylinder, against its original transport direction - indicated by the direction arrow in the specimen-guiding cylinder 8 - by the rotation of the specimen-guiding cylinder 9 in the direction of the arrow during the transfer. Fluttering or cornering of the specimen 13 is avoided by the product guide 11 above the specimen 13 to be removed.
  • the copy 13 gripped by the copy-guiding cylinder 9 on the fold back is sucked in. Since the suction roll jacket 7 with the cylinder peripheral speed rotates, speed differences are eliminated. Since the negative pressure in the vacuum chamber 6c is continuously present and the specimen 13 is conveyed by the rotating suction roll jacket 7, the specimen 13 moves in full length past the vacuum chamber 6c to which negative pressure is applied and is sucked in by the latter. After passage of the circumferential segment acted upon by the contour of the vacuum chamber 6c, the specimens 13 get between the surface of the specimen-guiding cylinder 9 and the surfaces of the traction strand 12b of the conveyor belts 12 facing the specimens 13.
  • the specimens 13 are here not exposed to any friction and shear stress.
  • the specimens 13 conveyed between the pull strands 12b and the cylinder surface of the specimen-carrying cylinder 9 can now be processed further on the folding jaw cylinder. In this way, when the transport direction of specimens 13 is reversed, their surfaces are subject to continuous guidance when changing from one to the other of the specimen-guiding cylinders 8 and 9, which permits high and highest specimen processing speeds.
  • Figures 5 and 5a show the drilling pattern of the suction roll shell.
  • the holes 7a made in annular thickenings on the suction roll jacket 7 have counterbores.
  • the drilling pattern shows that a staggered arrangement of the individual bores 7a in relation to one another enables a high occupancy density of the annular thickenings to be achieved. This ensures reliable suction of the specimens 13 even at high speeds.
  • FIG. 5b shows a cross section through the vacuum chamber 6c.
  • the leg of the vacuum chamber 6c extending to the left marks the beginning of the suction zone on the circumference of the one rotating on the suction roller axis 6
  • Suction roll casing 7 The leg of the boundary of the vacuum chamber 6c which extends to the right marks the end of the suction zone on the circumference of the suction roll casing 7 rotating on the suction roll axis 6.
  • the position of the boundaries of the vacuum chamber 6c allows the suction zone to be varied on the circumference of the suction roll casing 7 , whereby individual requirements can be taken into account.
  • the lower bores 7a made in the suction roll jacket 7 are in contact with the vacuum chamber 6c, while the upper bores 7a are separated from the suction air source.
  • a minimal gap is provided between the surface of the suction roller shaft 6 and the inner surface of the suction roller shell 7 in order to enable smooth rotation of the suction roller shell 7.
  • This gap is designed in the axial delimitation area of the vacuum chamber 6c as a contactless gap seal. Sealing of the vacuum chamber 6c can thus be achieved; the leakage losses remain negligible.
