Ein Zylinder 1 einer Rotationsdruckmaschine ist zur Aufnahme von biegsamen Platten 2 mit axial verlaufenden, sich von einer Mantelfläche 3 des Zylinders 1 in ein Inneres des Zylinders 1 erstreckenden Schlitzbefestigungen 4 versehen. Bei der Platte 2 einer Dicke d2, z. B. 0,3 mm, handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Druckplatten, es können aber auch beispielsweise Platten 2 mit aufgebrachten Gummitüchern verwendet werden. Die Platte 2 ist am Anfang 6 und am Ende 7 jeweils mit einer Einhängeabkantung 8, 9 versehen. Die Einhängeabkantungen 8, 9 werden von jeweils einem Einhängeschenkel 11, 12, der mit der planliegenden Platte 2 einen Winkel Alpha, z. B. 45°, am Anfang 6 und einen Winkel Beta, z. B. 135°, am Ende 7 einschließt, gebildet. Der Winkel Alpha am Anfang 6 ist spitz, während der Winkel Beta am Ende 7 stumpf ist.A cylinder 1 of a rotary printing press is for Inclusion of flexible plates 2 with axially extending itself from a lateral surface 3 of the cylinder 1 Interior of the cylinder 1 extending Provide slot fastenings 4. With plate 2 one Thickness d2, e.g. B. 0.3 mm, it is preferably Printing plates, but also plates, for example 2 can be used with applied rubber blankets. The Plate 2 is 6 at the beginning and 7 at the end provided with a hook-in bend 8, 9. The Hook-in folds 8, 9 are each one Hanging legs 11, 12 with the flat Plate 2 an angle alpha, e.g. B. 45 °, at the beginning 6 and an angle beta, e.g. B. 135 °, at the end 7 includes, educated. The angle alpha at the beginning 6 is acute, while the angle beta is at End 7 is blunt.

Die Schlitzbefestigung 4 ist im vorliegenden Beispiel als ein axial verlaufender, sich über eine Länge des Zylinders 1 erstreckender, von der Mantelfläche 3 des Zylinders 1 in das Innere des Zylinders 1 ragender Schlitz ausgeführt, dessen Breite b4 mindestens der doppelten Dicke d2 der Platte 2 entspricht und somit die Einhängeabkantungen 8, 9 am Anfang 6 und Ende 7 der Platte 2 gemeinsam aufnimmt. Natürlich ist es auch möglich Schlitzbefestigungen 4 zu verwenden, die für Anfang 6 und Ende 7 getrennt sind. Auch können zur Aufnahme mehrerer Platten 2 am Umfang bzw. entlang der Länge des Zylinders 1 mehrere Schlitzbefestigungen 4 vorgesehen sein. Die Schlitzbefestigung 4 ist unter einem Winkel Gamma, z. B. 45°, zur Tangente der Mantelfläche 3 des Zylinders 1 geneigt. Die Winkel Alpha und Beta der Einhängeabkantungen 8, 9 der Platte 2 sind dem Winkel Gamma der Schlitzbefestigung 4 angepaßt.The slot attachment 4 is in the present example as an axially extending, over a length of Cylinder 1 extending from the lateral surface 3 of the Cylinder 1 protruding into the interior of cylinder 1 Slit executed, the width b4 at least that twice the thickness d2 of the plate 2 corresponds and thus the Attachment folds 8, 9 at the beginning 6 and end 7 of the plate 2 takes together. Of course, it is also possible to use slot fastenings 4 use that for beginning 6 and end 7 are separated. Can also accommodate multiple plates 2 on the circumference or along the length of the cylinder 1 several slot fasteners 4 may be provided. The slot attachment 4 is at an angle gamma, e.g. B. 45 °, to the tangent of the lateral surface 3 of the cylinder 1 inclined. The Alpha and Beta angles Hook-in bends 8, 9 of the plate 2 are the angle Adjusted gamma of the slot attachment 4.

Dem Zylinder 1 ist eine Vorrichtung 13 für die Einhängeabkantung 7 der Platte 2 am Ende 7 zugeordnet. Diese Vorrichtung 13 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer mit einer Leitfläche 14 versehenen Traverse 16, einem Zuführschlitten 17 und einem Einführschieber 18. Die Leitfläche 14 ist als ebene Platte ausgebildet, deren erste Richtung sich axial entlang der Länge des Zylinders 1 und deren zweite Richtung sich radial bezüglich des Zylinders 1 erstreckt. Entlang dieser ebenen Leitfläche 14, d. h. in radialer Richtung bezüglich des Zylinders 1 ist der Zuführschlitten 17 bewegbar angeordnet. Der Zuführschlitten 17 weist eine zweite, ebene Leitfläche 19 auf, deren erste Richtung sich ebenfalls axial entlang der Länge des Zylinders 1 und deren zweite Richtung parallel zur Lage der Schlitzbefestigung 4 des in Einführstellung "E" positionierten Zylinders 1 verläuft. Entlang dieser Leitfläche 19 des Zuführschlittens 17 ist der Einführschieber 18 bewegbar angeordnet. Dieser Einführschieber 18 ist als planparallele Platte ausgeführt, dessen dem Zylinder 1 zugewandte Stirnseite 21, beispielsweise unter 45°, abgeschrägt ausgebildet ist, so daß die Stirnseite 21 annähernd senkrecht zur Leitfläche 14 des Zylinderschlittens 17 steht. Der Einführschieber 18 ist in Richtung Leitfläche 14 bewegbar bis die Stirnseite 21 des Einführschiebers 18 die Leitfläche 19 des Zuführschlittens 17 erreicht.
Die Bewegungen von Zuführschlitten 17 und Einführschieber 18 können beispielsweise mittels nicht dargestellter Pneumatikzylinder ausgeführt werden. Die gesamte Vorrichtung 13 kann aus einer zylindernahen Arbeitsstellung (Fig. 2 - 5) in eine zylinderferne Ruhestellung (Fig. 1) gebracht werden. Hierzu können gestellfeste, nicht dargestellte Linearführungen vorgesehen sein, auf denen die Vorrichtung mittels Stellantriebe, z. B. Pneumatikzylinder, bewegbar angeordnet ist.
The cylinder 1 is assigned a device 13 for the hooked-in bend 7 of the plate 2 at the end 7. This device 13 essentially consists of a cross member 16 provided with a guide surface 14, a feed slide 17 and an insertion slide 18. The guide surface 14 is designed as a flat plate, the first direction of which extends axially along the length of the cylinder 1 and the second direction of which is radial extends with respect to the cylinder 1. The feed carriage 17 is arranged to be movable along this flat guide surface 14, ie in the radial direction with respect to the cylinder 1. The feed carriage 17 has a second, flat guide surface 19, the first direction of which likewise extends axially along the length of the cylinder 1 and the second direction of which runs parallel to the position of the slot fastening 4 of the cylinder 1 positioned in the insertion position "E". The insertion slide 18 is movably arranged along this guide surface 19 of the feed carriage 17. This insertion slide 18 is designed as a plane-parallel plate, the end face 21 facing the cylinder 1 is chamfered, for example at 45 °, so that the end face 21 is approximately perpendicular to the guide surface 14 of the cylinder slide 17. The insertion slide 18 can be moved in the direction of the guide surface 14 until the end face 21 of the insertion slide 18 reaches the guide surface 19 of the feed carriage 17.
The movements of the feed slide 17 and the insertion slide 18 can be carried out, for example, by means of pneumatic cylinders (not shown). The entire device 13 can be brought from a working position close to the cylinder (FIGS. 2-5) into a rest position remote from the cylinder (FIG. 1). For this purpose, fixed linear guides, not shown, can be provided, on which the device by means of actuators, for. B. pneumatic cylinder is movably arranged.

Weiterhin ist dem Zylinder 1 ein radial bewegbarer, ansonsten gestellfester Rastbolzen 22 zugeordnet, um eine exakte Einführstellung "E" des Zylinders 1 zu gewährleisten. Der Rastbolzen 22 ist an seinem dem Zylinder 1 zugewandten Ende 23 konisch ausgebildet. Dieses konische Ende 23 wirkt mit einer ebenfalls konischen, dem Ende des Rastbolzen angepaßten Aussparung 24 am Zylinder 1 zusammen. Der Rastbolzen 22 kann beispielsweise an der Traverse 16 der Vorrichtung 13 befestigt sein. Durch die Bewegung der Vorrichtung 13 von der Ruhestellung in die Arbeitsstellung greift der Rastbolzen 22 in die außerhalb der Plattenbreite befindlichen Aussparung 24 des Zylinders 1 ein und bestimmt somit die Einführstellung "E" des Zylinders 1 exakt.Furthermore, the cylinder 1 is a radially movable, otherwise assigned to the frame-fixed locking pin 22 an exact insertion position "E" of the cylinder 1 guarantee. The locking pin 22 is at its End 23 facing cylinder 1 is conical. This conical end 23 also works with one conical recess adapted to the end of the locking pin 24 together on cylinder 1. The locking pin 22 can for example on the traverse 16 of the device 13 be attached. By moving the Device 13 from the rest position in the Working position engages the locking pin 22 in the recess 24 located outside the plate width of cylinder 1 and thus determines the Position "E" of cylinder 1 exactly.

Oberhalb der Vorrichtung 13 ist eine sich axial entlang des Zylinders 1 erstreckende, drehbare Andrückwalze 26 angeordnet. Diese Andrückwalze 26 ist an die Mantelfläche 3 an- und abstellbar ausgeführt, wobei die An- und Abstellbewegung, z. B. mittels Pneumatikzylinder, erfolgt. Die Andrückwalze 26 kann mit einer weichen Beschichtung, z. B. Gummi, versehen und ein- oder mehrteilig ausgeführt sein. Anstelle der Andrückwalze 26 können aber auch andere Andrück- bzw. Halteelemente verwendet werden. Above the device 13 is an axial Rotatable along the cylinder 1 Pressure roller 26 arranged. This pressure roller 26 is on the outer surface 3 can be turned on and off, whereby the on and off movement, z. B. means Pneumatic cylinder. The pressure roller 26 can with a soft coating, e.g. B. rubber, provided and be made in one or more parts. Instead of Pressure roller 26 can also other pressure or Holding elements are used.

Der Montagevorgang der Platte 2 verläuft folgendermaßen: Der Zylinder 1 wird in eine Montagestellung positioniert (Fig. 1). Hier hakt, z. B. ein Bediener oder eine Vorrichtung die Einhängeabkantung 8 am Anfang 6 in die Schlitzbefestigung ein und der Zylinder 1 beginnt in Produktionsrichtung "P" zu drehen. Der Zylinder 1 wirkt beispielsweise mit einem zweiten Zylinder 27, z. B. einem Gummizylinder, zusammen, wobei der Zylinder 27 die Platte 2 auf dem Zylinder 1 aufwalzt. Die Platte 2 kann aber auch von der Andrückwalze 26 auf dem Zylinder 1 aufgewalzt werden. Der Zylinder 1 dreht bis die Einführstellung "E" erreicht ist und stoppt. Dabei wird die Andrückwalze 26 angestellt und preßt somit die Platte 2 auf dem Zylinder 1 an. Zur exakten Positionierung des Zylinders 1 wird nun der Rastbolzen 22 in die Aussparung 24 des Zylinders 1 gebracht und ist somit genau justiert. Dies kann wie im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel mit der Bewegung der Vorrichtung 13 von ihrer Ruhe- in ihre Arbeitsstellung erfolgen. Die beiden Bewegungen können aber auch unabhängig voneinander ausgeführt werden. Die Vorrichtung 13 steht nun mit ihrer Leitfläche 14 im Bereich der Schlitzbefestigung 4 unmittelbar und radial vor der Mantelfläche 3 des Zylinders 1.The assembly process of plate 2 proceeds as follows: The cylinder 1 is positioned in an assembly position (Fig. 1). Here hooks, e.g. B. an operator or a Device the hooking fold 8 at the beginning 6 in the slot attachment on and cylinder 1 starts in Rotate production direction "P". The cylinder 1 acts for example with a second cylinder 27, e.g. B. a rubber cylinder, together, the cylinder 27 the Roll plate 2 onto cylinder 1. The plate 2 but can also from the pressure roller 26 on the Cylinder 1 are rolled. The cylinder 1 turns until the insertion position "E" is reached and stops. The pressure roller 26 is turned on and thus presses the plate 2 on the cylinder 1. For exact positioning of the cylinder 1 is now the Locking pin 22 in the recess 24 of the cylinder 1 brought and is therefore precisely adjusted. This can be done as in present embodiment with the movement of Device 13 from their rest in their Work position. The two movements can but can also be carried out independently of one another. The device 13 is now with its guide surface 14 in the area of the slot attachment 4 directly and radially in front of the lateral surface 3 of the cylinder 1.

Ein nicht aufgewalztes Ende 7 der Platte 2 steht nun infolge Eigenspannung der Platte 2 von einer Ablöselinie 25 zwischen Platte 2 und Andrückwalze 26 tangential ab, wobei die Andrückwalze 26 derart angeordnet ist, daß die Einhängeabkantung 9 am Ende 7 von der Vorrichtung 13 erfaßt werden kann.A non-rolled end 7 of the plate 2 is now due to the internal stress of the plate 2 from a peeling line 25 tangentially from plate 2 and pressure roller 26, the pressure roller 26 is arranged such that the Hook-in bend 9 at the end 7 of the device 13 can be detected.

Auch ist es möglich die Andrückwalze 26 entfallen zu lassen, wobei dann die Ablöselinie 25 vom zweiten Zylinder 27 bestimmt wird.
Zum Erfassen der Einhängeabkantung 9 am Ende 7 der Platte 2 von der Vorrichtung 13 kann die Vorrichtung 13 auch, z. B. mittels einer Schwenkbewegung von dem Zylinder 1, auf das Ende 7 der Platte 2 zubewegt werden. Nach dem Erfassen des Endes 7 der Platte 2 kann auch die Vorrichtung 13 in einer weiteren, nicht dargestellten Ausführungsvariante zusammen mit dem erfaßten Ende 7 der Platte 2 in den Bereich der Schlitzbefestigung 4 bewegt werden.
Der Zuführschlitten 17 wird nun in Richtung Schlitzbefestigung 4 bewegt, wobei der Einhängeschenkel 12 der Einhängeabkantung 9 entlang der Leitfläche 14 geführt wird. Hierdurch wird der freie Teil der Platte 2 zwischen der Andrückwalze 26 und dem Zuführschlitten 17 bogenförmig vorgespannt, so daß dieser nur im Bereich der Andrückwalze 26 und der Schlitzbefestigung 4 am Zylinder 1 anliegt.
Somit wird ein Abstand von Ablöselinie 25 der Andrückwalze 26 bis Ende des Einhängeschenkels 12 der Einhängeabkantung 9 verkürzt. Die "verkürzende" Verformung der Platte 2 erfolgt vorzugsweise elastisch. Eine Sehnenlänge l1 zwischen Ablöselinie 25 und Ende des Einhängeschenkels 12 der Platte 2 am Ende 7 wird einer Sehnenlänge l2 zwischen Ablöselinie 25 und Schlitzbefestigung 4 angepaßt. Der Einhängeschenkel 12 der Einhängeabkantung 9 steht im Bereich der Schlitzbefestigung 4 auf Höhe der Mantelfläche 3 des Zylinders 1.
It is also possible to omit the pressure roller 26, in which case the release line 25 is determined by the second cylinder 27.
To detect the Einhanggebkantung 9 at the end 7 of the plate 2 from the device 13, the device 13 can also, for. B. by a pivoting movement of the cylinder 1, towards the end 7 of the plate 2. After the end 7 of the plate 2 has been gripped, the device 13 can also be moved together with the gripped end 7 of the plate 2 into the area of the slot fastening 4 in a further embodiment variant, not shown.
The feed carriage 17 is now moved in the direction of the slot attachment 4, the suspension leg 12 of the suspension fold 9 being guided along the guide surface 14. As a result, the free part of the plate 2 between the pressure roller 26 and the feed carriage 17 is preloaded in an arc, so that it only rests on the cylinder 1 in the area of the pressure roller 26 and the slot attachment 4.
A distance from the detachment line 25 of the pressure roller 26 to the end of the hanging leg 12 of the hanging fold 9 is thus shortened. The "shortening" deformation of the plate 2 is preferably elastic. A chord length l1 between the peeling line 25 and the end of the hanging leg 12 of the plate 2 at the end 7 is adapted to a chord length l2 between the peeling line 25 and the slot attachment 4. The suspension leg 12 of the suspension bend 9 stands in the area of the slot attachment 4 at the level of the lateral surface 3 of the cylinder 1.

Anschließend wird der Einführschieber 18 in Richtung Zylinder 1 bewegt und dessen Stirnseite 21 schiebt die Einhängeabkantung 9 der Platte 2 in die Schlitzbefestigung 4.
Rastbolzen 22 und Vorrichtung 13 werden wieder in ihre zylinderferne Ruhestellung gebracht, womit der Montagevorgang der Platte 2 abgeschlossen ist.
The insertion slide 18 is then moved in the direction of the cylinder 1 and its end face 21 pushes the hooked-in bevel 9 of the plate 2 into the slot fastening 4.
Locking bolts 22 and device 13 are brought back into their rest position remote from the cylinder, whereby the assembly process of the plate 2 is completed.
