Abstract

In an arrangement for retaining a curved support, for example a printing plate (9), the ends (7; 8) of the plates should be retained by simple means and should not be damaged. For that purpose, a clamping means is arranged in an axial bore and exerts at least one compression force (P) on the superimposed ends of the printing plate. The ends are arranged in a slit (4) that extends from the circumference of the form cylinder tangentially to the axial bore. A hose (14) capable of receiving compressed air is used as clamping means.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
Einrichtung zum Festhalten eines bogenförmigen TrägersDevice for holding an arcuate support
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Festhalten von zwei abgekanteten Enden eines bogenförmigen biegsamen Trägers gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for holding two folded ends of an arcuate, flexible support according to the preamble of claim 1.
Durch die DE 40 05 093 Cl ist eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Aufspannen einer biegsamen Druckform auf einen Zylinder einer Rotationsdruckmaschine bekanntgeworden, bei welcher sich in achsparalleler Richtung eine exzentrisch gelagerte Spannspindel in einer Zylindergrube eines Formzylinders erstreckt. Zwei Enden einer Druckform werden gemeinsam zwischen einer Wand der Zylindergrube und der Spannspindel verklemmt, indem die Spannspindel die Enden der Druckform in einen kreissegmentförmigen Abschnitt der Zylindergrube drückt.From DE 40 05 093 Cl, a generic device for mounting a flexible printing form on a cylinder of a rotary printing press has become known, in which an eccentrically mounted clamping spindle extends in an axis-parallel direction in a cylinder pit of a forme cylinder. Two ends of a printing form are clamped together between a wall of the cylinder pit and the clamping spindle in that the clamping spindle presses the ends of the printing form into a segment of the cylinder pit in the form of a segment of a circle.
Nachteilig bei dieser Spannvorrichtung ist, daß die Enden der Druckformen durch das Hineindrücken in den kreissegmentförmigen Abschnitt der Zylindergrube bleibende Deformationen aufweisen, die einer mehrfachen Verwendung der Druckformen entgegenstehen. Darüberhinaus lassen sich die deformierten Enden schwer aus dem kreissegmentförmigen Abschnitt der Zylindergrube lösen, da sich diese sickenartig in diesen Abschnitt anlegen. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Einrichtung zum Festhalten der umgebogenen Enden eines bogenförmigen Trägers, z. B. einer biegsamen Druckplatte auf einem Zylinder zu schaffen, mittels welcher der bogenförmige Träger schnell ausgewechselt und seine Enden beschädigungsfrei festgehalten werden können.A disadvantage of this clamping device is that the ends of the printing forms have permanent deformations due to the pressing into the circular segment-shaped section of the cylinder pit, which oppose multiple use of the printing forms. In addition, the deformed ends are difficult to remove from the circular segment-shaped section of the cylinder pit, since they lie like beads in this section. The invention has for its object a device for holding the bent ends of an arcuate carrier, for. B. to create a flexible pressure plate on a cylinder, by means of which the arcuate support can be replaced quickly and its ends can be held free of damage.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.
Durch die Erfindung werden nachfolgende Vorteile erzielt: Zur Aufnahme der Spannvorrichtung für die Druckplatte ist nur das Einbringen einer Axialbohrung in der Nähe der Mantelfläche des Formzylinders erforderlich. Die abgekanteten Enden der Druckplatten werden der Spannvorrichtung lediglich mittels eines sich tangential zum Querschnitt der Axialbohrung verlaufenden Schlitzes zugeführt. Dabei liegen beide Enden der Druckplatte aufeinander, so daß einerseits der Schlitz im Formzylinder eng gehalten werden kann und andererseits zwischen beiden Plattenenden keine Druckfarbe eindringen kann und sog. "Kanalschläge" des Formzylinders weitestgehendst vermieden werden. Darüberhinaus werden zum Festhalten der Plattenenden solche Mittel verwendet, die ein schnelles Herausnehmen der Druckplatte ermöglichen, wobei die abgekanteten bzw. abgebogenen Enden der Druckplatte nach dem Einspannen bzw. Festhalten noch unbeschädigt sind und nicht verbogen sind. Es können mit dieser Einrichtung auch Drucktücher auf Zylindern festgehalten werden.The following advantages are achieved by the invention: To accommodate the clamping device for the pressure plate, it is only necessary to make an axial bore near the outer surface of the forme cylinder. The bent ends of the pressure plates are fed to the tensioning device only by means of a slot which extends tangentially to the cross section of the axial bore. Both ends of the printing plate lie on top of one another, so that on the one hand the slot in the forme cylinder can be kept tight and on the other hand no printing ink can penetrate between the two plate ends and so-called "channel blows" of the forme cylinder are largely avoided. In addition, such means are used to hold the plate ends in place that enable the pressure plate to be removed quickly, the bent or bent ends of the pressure plate being still undamaged after being clamped or held are bent. Printing blankets can also be held on cylinders with this device.
Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert. Die zugehörige Zeichnung zeigt einen Querschnitt durch eine Prinzipdarstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung.The invention is explained in more detail below using an exemplary embodiment. The accompanying drawing shows a cross section through a schematic diagram of a device according to the invention.
Ein Formzylinder 1 ist mit einem in achsparalleler Richtung in der Nähe seiner Mantelfläche 2 verlaufendem einen kreisrunden Querschnitt aufweisenden achsparallelem Loch 3, z. B. mit kreissegmentförmigen Querschnitt versehen. Von der Mantelfläche 2 des Formzylinders 1 her erstreckt sich entlang einer Ebene entlang einer Sehne des Formzylinderquerschnittes ein gerader Schlitz 4 (= Einführschlitz) mit vorzugsweise rechteckigem Querschnitt. Der Schlitz 4 steht seitlich, - z. B. rechts -, mit dem Loch 3 in Verbindung. Das Loch 3 kann zylinderlang, aber auch nur z. B. die Länge der Breite einer seitenbreiten Druckplatte haben, also als Sackloch ausgeführt sein.A forme cylinder 1 is provided with an axially parallel hole in the vicinity of its outer surface 2 which has a circular cross section and has an axially parallel hole 3, for. B. provided with a circular segment-shaped cross section. A straight slot 4 (= insertion slot) with a preferably rectangular cross section extends from the lateral surface 2 of the forme cylinder 1 along a plane along a chord of the forme cylinder cross section. The slot 4 is on the side, -. B. right -, with hole 3 in connection. The hole 3 can be cylinder-long, but only z. B. have the length of the width of a page-wide printing plate, so be designed as a blind hole.
Der Schlitz 4 nimmt beide Enden 7, 8 einer Druckplatte 9 so auf, daß diese Enden 7, 8 parallel zueinander verlaufen und sich mit den Innenseiten flächenhaft berühren. Ein erstes Ende 7 liegt mit seiner Außenseite an einer Zylinderwand 11 des Schlitzes 4 an, während ein zweites Ende 8 der Druckplatte 9 mit seiner Außenseite in das Loch 3 seitlich abschließt. In dem achsparallelen Loch 3 des Formzylinders 1 ist ein aufweitbarer aufblasbarer Schlauch 14 eingeschoben.The slot 4 receives both ends 7, 8 of a pressure plate 9 in such a way that these ends 7, 8 run parallel to one another and touch with the inside of the surface. The outside of a first end 7 lies against a cylinder wall 11 of the slot 4, while a second end 8 of the pressure plate 9 closes laterally with its outside into the hole 3. In the axially parallel Hole 3 of the forme cylinder 1 is inserted with an expandable inflatable tube 14.
Der Schlauch 14 ist mit einem Medium, z. B. Druckluft beaufschlagbar und ist zumindest an einer seiner beiden Stirnseiten bzw. Enden, die sich in unmittelbarer Nähe der Stirnseiten des Formzylinders 1 befinden, mit einem nicht dargestellten Rückschlagventil versehen. Das Rückschlagventil ist mittels einer nicht dargestellten Druckluftquelle verbindbar, so daß der Schlauch 14 das achsparallele Loch 3 ausfüllt und sich in den Schlitz 4 hinein und mit einer Kraft P die beiden Enden 8, 7 gegen die linke Wand 11 des Schlitzes 4 preßt, so daß diese beiden Enden 7, 8 der Druckplatte 9 festgehalten werden. Zum Lösen der Druckplatte 9 vom Formzylinder 1 entweicht die Druckluft aus dem Schlauch 14, z. B. durch eine ebenfalls nicht dargestellte Entlüftungsvorrichtung, z. B. durch mindestens eine Entlüftungsschraube, die an einem Ende des Schlauches 14 angeordnet ist.The hose 14 is filled with a medium, e.g. B. compressed air and is provided at least on one of its two end faces or ends, which are in the immediate vicinity of the end faces of the forme cylinder 1, with a check valve, not shown. The check valve can be connected by means of a compressed air source, not shown, so that the hose 14 fills the axially parallel hole 3 and presses into the slot 4 and with a force P the two ends 8, 7 against the left wall 11 of the slot 4, so that these two ends 7, 8 of the pressure plate 9 are held. To release the pressure plate 9 from the forme cylinder 1, the compressed air escapes from the hose 14, for. B. by a ventilation device, also not shown, for. B. by at least one vent screw, which is arranged at one end of the hose 14.
Es ist auch möglich, eine Flüssigkeit zum Füllen des Schlauches 14, z. B. Öl, oder Glyzerin zu verwenden, welches dem Schlauch 14 mittels einer Zuleitung über das Rückschlagventil druckbeaufschlagt zugeführt werden kann.It is also possible to use a liquid for filling the hose 14, e.g. B. oil, or glycerin, which can be supplied to the hose 14 by means of a supply line via the check valve under pressure.
