Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Reinigen der Mantelflächen von Zylindern in Rotationsdruckmaschinen, mit einem sich über die Länge des Zylinders erstreckenden Reinigungstuch und mit einem damit zusammenwirkenden Andrückelement, wobei das Reinigungstuch durch das Andrückelement an die sich bewegende Mantelfläche andrückbar ist und das Andrückelement aus einem mit einem Innendruck beaufschlagbaren elastisch verformbaren Hohlkörper besteht, der beim Anlegen des Innendrucks elastisch expandiert.The invention relates to a device for cleaning the lateral surfaces of cylinders in rotary printing machines, with one extending over the length of the cylinder Cleaning cloth and with a cooperating with it Pressure element, the cleaning cloth through the Pressing element can be pressed against the moving lateral surface is and the pressing element from one with an internal pressure actable elastically deformable hollow body, which expands elastically when the internal pressure is applied.

Die DE 30 05 469 C2 zeigt eine derartige Reinigungseinrichtung, bei der jedoch nach Abschalten des Innendrucks lediglich ein geringer Abstand zwischen Reinigungstuch und Zylindermantelfläche entsteht, so daß z. B. beim Reinigen der Mantelfläche eines Druckzylinders die hier vorhandenen Greiferfinger eine Beschädigung des Reinigungstuches verursachen können. Dies könnte verhindern, daß die Mantelfläche des zu reinigenden Zylinders nicht sauber ist, so daß die Reinigungsvorrichtung keine optimale Wirkung erzielt.DE 30 05 469 C2 shows one of these Cleaning device, but after switching off the Internal pressure only a small distance between Cleaning cloth and cylinder surface so that e.g. B. when cleaning the outer surface of a printing cylinder here existing gripper fingers damage the Can cause cleaning cloth. This could prevent that the outer surface of the cylinder to be cleaned is not is clean, so that the cleaning device is not optimal Effect.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, den Abstand zwischen der zu reinigenden Mantelfläche und dem Reinigungstuch bei abgestellter Reinigungsvorrichtung zu vergrößern.Based on this state of the art, it is the task of present invention, the distance between the cleaning surface and the cleaning cloth parked cleaning device to enlarge.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Luftversorgung des Hohlkörpers über ein Zweiwegeventil durchgeführt wird und daß das Zweiwegeventil von überdruck auf Unterdruck umschaltbar ist, so daß der Hohlkörper von einer nach außen gedehnten Position über eine neutrale Ruhelage in eine nach innen gedehnte Position bewegt wird. Ist die Reinigungsvorrichtung mit der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung einem Druckzylinder zugeordnet, so kann während des Betriebs der Maschine ein Unterdruck angelegt werden, so daß die Greiferfinger ohne Beschädigung des Reinigungstuches passieren können. Beim Stillstand der Maschine, wenn kein Unterdruck vorhanden ist, befindet sich der Hohlkörper in einer neutralen Ruhelage, in der das Reinigungstuch keinen Kontakt mit der Zylindermantelfläche hat.According to the invention the object is achieved in that the Air supply to the hollow body via a two-way valve is carried out and that the two-way valve of overpressure is switchable to negative pressure, so that the hollow body of an outward stretched position over a neutral Rest position is moved to an inwardly stretched position. Is the cleaning device with the invention Design assigned to a pressure cylinder, so during a negative pressure is applied to the operation of the machine, so that the gripper fingers without damaging the cleaning cloth can happen. When the machine is at a standstill, if none Vacuum is present, the hollow body is in a neutral rest position in which the cleaning cloth does not Has contact with the cylinder surface.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Hohlkörper ohne Luftbeaufschlagung in der neutralen Ruhelage eine nach außen gewölbten Querschnitt aufweist. Ist der Hohlkörper aus einem gummiähnlichen Material hergestellt, so kann bei dieser Ausgestaltung mit relativ geringem über- oder Unterdruck eine einfache Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe erreicht werden.This is an advantageous embodiment of the invention characterized in that the hollow body without exposure to air in the neutral rest position has an outwardly arched cross section having. The hollow body is made of a rubber-like Material made, so with this configuration Relatively low overpressure or underpressure is a simple solution of the task at hand.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is in the drawing shown schematically.

Einem Zylinder 1 einer Rotationsdruckmaschine ist zum Reinigen dessen Mantelfläche 2 ein Andrückelement 3 einer Reinigungsvorrichtung zugeordnet. über das Andrückelement 3 ist ein Reinigungstuch 4 an die Mantelfläche 2 andrückbar, mit dem die Mantelfläche 2 des sich drehenden Zylinders 1 von Schmutz und Farbresten gereinigt werden kann.A cylinder 1 of a rotary printing press is for Clean the outer surface 2 of a pressure element 3 one Assigned cleaning device. via the pressure element 3 a cleaning cloth 4 can be pressed onto the outer surface 2, with which the outer surface 2 of the rotating cylinder 1 of Dirt and paint residues can be cleaned.

Das Andrückelement besteht in einer vorteilhaften Ausführung aus einem elastisch verformbaren Hohlkörper 5, z. B. aus einem gummiähnlichen Material, der in eine Tragschiene 6 aufgenommen ist. An der Tragschiene 6 ist zur Luftversorgung ein Schlauchanschluß 7 vorgesehen, der mit einem Zweiwegeventil 8 verbunden ist. Das Zweiwegeventil 8 ist mit einem Drucklufterzeuger 9 und einem Sauglufterzeuger 10 gekoppelt, so daß je nach Stellung des Zweiwegeventils 8 die Luftversorgung des Hohlkörpers 5 von überdruck auf Unterdruck umschaltbar ist. Das Zweiwegeventil 8 ist in einer Stellung gezeichnet, in der der Hohlkörper 5 mit Unterdruck beaufschlagt ist.The pressing element is an advantageous embodiment from an elastically deformable hollow body 5, for. B. from a rubber-like material that in a mounting rail 6 is recorded. On the mounting rail 6 is for air supply a hose connector 7 is provided with a Two-way valve 8 is connected. The two-way valve 8 is with a compressed air generator 9 and a suction air generator 10 coupled so that depending on the position of the two-way valve 8 the Air supply of the hollow body 5 from positive pressure to negative pressure is switchable. The two-way valve 8 is in one position drawn in which the hollow body 5 with negative pressure is acted upon.

In der Zeichnung ist der Hohlkörper 5 strichpunktiert und gepünkelt in einer neutralen Ruhelage dargestellt. In der ausgezogenen Darstellung drückt der Hohlkörper 5 das Reinigungstuch 4 an die Mantelfläche 2 an. Gestrichelt ist die nach innen gedehnte Position des Hohlkörpers 5 wiedergegeben, wenn ein Unterdruck angelegt ist. Mit dieser Lösung wird somit ein wesentlich vergrößerter Abstand 11 zwischen angestellter und abgestellter Position des Reinigungstuches 4 zur Mantelfläche 2 des Zylinders 1 erreicht. Hierbei ist klar zu erkennen, daß der Hohlkörper 5 ohne Luftbeaufschlagung in der neutralen Ruhelage einen nach außen gewölbten Querschnitt aufweist. In the drawing, the hollow body 5 is dash-dotted and shown in dotted lines in a neutral rest position. In the solid representation, the hollow body 5 presses the Cleaning cloth 4 on the outer surface 2. Is dashed the inwardly expanded position of the hollow body 5 reproduced when a negative pressure is applied. With this The solution is thus a substantially increased distance 11 between employee and employee position of the Cleaning cloth 4 to the outer surface 2 of the cylinder 1 reached. It can be clearly seen here that the hollow body 5 one without air in the neutral rest position has a convex cross-section on the outside.
