Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Kontrolle eines automatisierten Druckplattenwechsels gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device for controlling an automated Printing plate change according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus der DE 3 940 796 C2 ist ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum automatischen Wechseln einer Druckplatte bekannt, bei welcher Druckplatten zwischen einer angetriebenen Transportrolle und Gegendruckrollen gefördert werden. Dazu werden die Transportrolle und die freidrehende Gegendruckrolle mit einer Kraft gegeneinander angestellt, so daß die zu transportierende Druckplatte über Reibschluß die zum Fördern nötige Kraft erhält.DE 3 940 796 C2 describes a method and a device for automatic change of a printing plate known, in which Pressure plates between a driven transport roller and Back pressure rollers are promoted. To do this, the transport roller and the freely rotating counter pressure roller with a force against each other hired, so that the pressure plate to be transported via friction receives the power necessary to promote it.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß gerade beim Abfördern einer gebrauchten Druckplatte vom Plattenzylinder eine relativ hohe Kraft aufgebracht werden muß, wenn die Druckplattenvorderkante aus dem geöffneten Erfassungsbereich der Druckanfang-Spannschiene herausgezogen werden muß. Dies hat seine Ursache darin, daß aufgrund der Zylinderkontur im Druckanfang-Bereich sowie des längeren Druckvorganges zuvor die Druckplatte im Bereich der Vorderkante eine Abkantung aufweist. Diese Abkantung führt zu einem Verkantungseffekt der Druckplattenvorderkante im Erfassungsbereich der geöffneten Druckanfang-Spannschiene. Es ist somit möglich, daß diese Kraft so groß wird, daß trotz angetriebener Transportrolle die Druckplatte nicht aus der Druckanfang-Spannschiene herausgezogen wird (Schlupf). Durch die Steuerung ist dies aber nicht feststellbar, so daß es zu Störungen in dem automatisierten Ablauf kommt. It has been found that just when a used is being removed Pressure plate from the plate cylinder applied a relatively high force must be when the printing plate leading edge from the open Detection area of the pressure start clamping rail are pulled out got to. The reason for this is that due to the cylinder contour in the beginning of printing area as well as the longer printing process Pressure plate has a bend in the area of the front edge. This bend leads to a tilting effect of the leading edge of the printing plate in the detection area of the open pressure start clamping rail. It is therefore possible that this force becomes so great that despite the driven transport roller, the pressure plate does not move out of the Pressure start tensioning rail is pulled out (slip). Through the Control this is not ascertainable, so that it leads to malfunctions comes in the automated process.

Aus der GB-A-2 158 011 ist ein Farbzufuhrmechanismus für eine Druckmaschine bekannt, bei der eine Meßwalze mit einem Drehgeber gekoppelt ist. Die Drehung der Meßwalze wird im Vergleich mit der Drehung einer angetriebenen Druckwalze erfaßt und aus den gebildeten Vergleichssignalen Größen für die Farbzufuhr gebildet.GB-A-2 158 011 discloses an ink feed mechanism for a printing press known in which a measuring roller is coupled to a rotary encoder. The rotation the measuring roller is compared to the rotation of a driven pressure roller recorded and from the comparison signals formed quantities for the ink supply educated.

Aus der US-A-4 795 278 ist ein Drehgeber bekannt, bei dem mittels einem Sensor die Drehung einer Scheibe bzw. eines strukturierten Ringes abgetastet wird.From US-A-4 795 278 a rotary encoder is known, in which by means of a sensor the rotation of a disc or a structured ring is sensed.

Aus der JP-A-61114946 ist eine Einrichtung zur Überwachung der Papierzufuhr bei einem Kopiergerät bekannt, bei der mittels einem optischen Lichtschrankensensor die Bewegung einer durch Reibung angetriebenen Detektorrolle erfaßt wird. Die Einrichtung dient dazu das Zeitintervall für das Fördern eines Bogens zu verkürzen und die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit der Maschine zu erhöhen.From JP-A-61114946 a device for monitoring the paper feed is shown in a copier known in which by means of an optical light barrier sensor the movement of a detector roller driven by friction is detected. The The device serves to shorten the time interval for conveying a sheet and increase the processing speed of the machine.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 derartig weiterzubilden, so daß mit einfachen Mitteln wirkungsvoll feststellbar ist, ob eine Druckplatte ordnungsgemäß gefördert wird.The object of the present invention is therefore a device to develop in such a way according to the preamble of claim 1 that it can be effectively determined with simple means whether a Pressure plate is properly conveyed.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale von Anspruch 1. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.This task is solved by the characteristic features of Claim 1. Further developments of the invention result from the Subclaims.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, die Drehung der sonst freidrehenden, also keinen Antrieb aufweisenden Gegendruckrolle sensorisch festzustellen. Durch die erfindungsgemäß vorgesehene Sensorik ist es somit möglich, festzustellen, ob die Gegendruckrolle sich überhaupt dreht bzw. ob die Gegendruckrolle die vorgeschriebene Anzahl von Umdrehungen macht, wenn die Transportrolle angetrieben wird.According to the invention, the rotation of the otherwise freely rotating, thus, no counter-pressure roller having a drive ascertain. Due to the sensor system provided according to the invention it is thus possible to determine whether the counter pressure roller is at all turns or whether the counter pressure roller the prescribed Number of revolutions made when the feed roller is driven becomes.

Gemäß dem weiter unten stehenden Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung erfolgt die sensorische Erfassung der Drehung der freidrehenden Gegendruckrolle zur Feststellung, ob eine gebrauchte Druckplatte ordnungsgemäß vom Plattenzylinder abgeführt wird. Selbstverständlich ist es aber mit der erfindungsgemäßen Sensorik auch möglich, festzustellen, ob eine neue, dem Plattenzylinder zuzuführende Druckplatte ordnungsgemäß gefördert wird.According to the embodiment of the invention below the rotation of the freely rotating is sensed Counter pressure roller to determine whether a used printing plate is properly discharged from the plate cylinder.

Feeding a new printing plate to the plate cylinder is done by placing the transport roller 4 on the counter pressure roller 3rd

Fig. 3 zeigt einen Schnitt durch die Lagerung der Gegendruckrolle 2. Die Gegendruckrolle 2 ist in einer Ausnehmung eines Trägers 6 angeordnet und über beispielsweise Nadellager auf einer durch den Träger 6 gehaltenen Steckachse 7 drehbar gelagert. Fig. 3 shows a section through the storage of the counter pressure roller 2. The counter-pressure roller 2 is in a recess in a carrier 6 arranged and over, for example, needle bearings on one by the Carrier 6 held axle 7 rotatably mounted.

An der linken Seite der Gegendruckrolle 2 ist eine Meßbuchse 8 angebracht, welche gemäß dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel als eine Verlängerung eines in der Gegendruckrolle 2 angeordneten zylindrischen Körpers ausgebildet ist, in dem die Lager sitzen. Mit der Meßbuchse 8 wirkt ein Sensor 9 zusammen, dem ein Signal entnehmbar ist, wenn die Meßbuchse 8 durch die Gegendruckrolle 2 in Drehung versetzt wird. Der Sensor 9 ist über eine Halterung 10 am Träger 6 befestigt, so daß dessen aktive Fläche einen definierten Abstand zum Außenumfang der Meßbuchse 8 bildet.On the left side of the counter pressure roller 2 is a measuring bushing 8 attached, which according to the embodiment shown as a Extension of a cylindrical arranged in the counter pressure roller 2 Body is formed in which the bearings sit.

Dargestellt ist, daß die Meßbuchse 8, welche koaxial zur Steckachse 7 verläuft, auf je einem Viertel ihres Umfanges Schlitze aufweist. Die Meßbuchse 8 ist somit nach Art eines Kronenringes ausgebildet. Durch diese Gestaltung der Meßbuchse 8 ist es in einfacher Weise möglich, den Sensor 9 als induktiven Näherungsschalter auszubilden, dem immer dann ein Signal entnehmbar ist, wenn sich der Abstand des Sensors 9 zu dem metallischen Teil der Meßbuchse 8 bzw. der metallischen Steckachse 7 ändert. Der Schaltabstand des als induktiven Näherungsschalter ausgebildeten Sensors 9 ist dazu auf den Außendurchmesser der Meßbuchse 8 sowie den Durchmesser der Steckachse 7 abgestimmt. Die Ausgangssignale des Sensors 9 sind einer nicht dargestellten Steuerung zuführbar, welche die Signale des Sensors 9 in Abhängigkeit der Ansteuerung der Transportrolle vergleicht und daraus die ordnungsgemäße Druckplattenförderung ermittelt. Durch die Steuerung ist es möglich, eine Fehlermeldung auszugeben und eine Unterbrechung des Druckplattenwechselvorganges einzuleiten, wenn auf die geschilderte Art und Weise eine nicht korrekte Druckplattenförderung festgestellt wurde. Auch sind andere von der Steuerung einzuleitende Maßnahmen denkbar. Figure 1 shows in perspective the inventive design of the Measuring bushing 8. It is shown that the measuring bushing 8, which is coaxial runs to thru-axle 7, each on a quarter of its circumference Has slits. The measuring bush 8 is thus in the manner of a crown ring educated.
