Definitions

  • the invention relates to a boom for a printing press, which in a processing direction continuous sheets processed with across Processing direction adjustable bow brakes, each one with the Bow co-operating and rotating from one Include vacuum penetrated brake element, and with transverse to Processing direction adjustable arch supports, as well as one with a Such a delivery equipped sheet processing printing machine
  • a boom of the type mentioned is from the document DE-OS 26 27 812 known.
  • the operationally circulating brake elements disclosed therein are represented by suction wheels, which are designed in the form of ring gears are.
  • a respective ring gear is on a pin of a suction wheel holder stored.
  • a cylindrical inner surface of the ring gear slides on it operational circulation via a contact surface of the suction wheel holder.
  • a The hole in the contact surface is connected to a suction pipe.
  • the Bore communicates with in the circumferential direction of the ring gear successive radial bores provided in this, so that the braking element designed in the form of the ring gear from a in the intake manifold prevailing negative pressure is reached.
  • Suction wheel holder On adjust the by means of Suction wheels formed sheet brakes transverse to the direction of processing are the Suction wheel holder on a crossbar arranged transversely to the processing direction pushed on and by means of adjusting screws in a respectively required Position can be fixed in relation to the traverse.
  • To drive the suction wheels is one through the square wheel through the suction wheel holder provided, the positive engages in the hub area of a respective suction wheel.
  • the arch supports provided in the known boom are positively connected to the square shaft mentioned and under Applying a frictional connection between this and the arch supports overcoming actuating force can be moved along the square shaft, so that the Arch supports are also adjustable across the processing direction.
  • a each arch support is spaced apart by a pair Support discs formed, which distributed the support discs over its circumference Support outstanding satellite sprockets rotatably.
  • the bow brakes can be used in particular in the case of operation Placing the printing press in the perfecting process only in this way be that the braking elements on pressure-free corridors of the attack the arc to be braked. In the event that a print job the bows are less wide enough to attack a braking element can have pressure-free corridors than are provided as sheet brakes these are not used in full.
  • the suction wheels optionally to connect to a suction pipe or a compressed air pipe, so that apparently by means of blowing air flowing out of a suction wheel, a contact between the Suction wheel and the bow should be avoided if the suction wheel is not pressure-free corridor opposite the arch.
  • the invention has for its object a boom of the beginning mentioned type in such a way that its bow brakes and Arch supports with little changeover to different print jobs are customizable.
  • Such a configuration shortens the set-up time for adapting the Bow brakes and the bow supports to the respective print job in in several respects, on the one hand in that the realization of the Functions of braking the bow on the one hand and supporting the bow on the other Arch only an exchange of a functional part on one of the others Identical functional basic units are required and secondly in that excess arch brakes may not be dismantled are needed because bow brakes and bow supports in any order can be formed across the processing direction.
  • bow brakes and the bow supports are servomotor adjustable. This is due to the invention Design possible without mutual risk of collision, since the Sequence of arch brakes and arch supports across Processing direction due to the convertibility of the above Basic functional units can be selected as required.
  • a respective braking element is an endless one Suction belt and a respective support element designed as an endless support belt, and the support band has a cross section that is on the outside of the Support band forms a survey. It is also preferred both the suction belt and the support belt in the same direction of rotation elastic and dimensioned in such a way that in the assembled state without the Use of a clamping device under one for the intended Use of the suction or support belt in sufficient tension Direction of rotation.
  • this includes Boom 1 in the processing direction to a last processing station of the Press.
  • a processing station can be a printing unit or a post-treatment plant, such as a coating plant.
  • the last processing station is a printing unit 2 working in the offset process with a printing cylinder 2.1.
  • the chain conveyor 4 comprises two endless conveyor chains 6, one of which is in the vicinity of one respective side wall of the chain boom 1 operationally along a closed chain track revolves.
  • a respective conveyor chain 6 wraps around each one of two synchronously driven drive sprockets 7, the axes are aligned with each other, and the present example is one against each Drive sprockets downstream with respect to the processing direction located deflection sprocket 8 out, so that a respective Conveyor chains 6 pass through a closed chain conveyor.
  • the sheets are open a reduced compared to the processing speed Storage speed slowed down and finally reached after it released so that a respective now slowed sheet 3 finally impinges on leading edge stops 12 and aligns with them and at these opposite trailing edge stops 13 together with preceding and / or following sheet 3 forms a stack 14, which can be lowered to the extent that the stack 14 by means of a lifting mechanism increases.
  • the hoist only one is the stack 14 in FIG. 1 load-bearing platform 15 and this load-bearing, dash-dotted lines Lift chains 16 reproduced.
  • the conveyor chains 6 are along their paths between the Drive sprockets 7 on the one hand and the deflection chain wheels 8 on the other guided by chain guide rails, which the chain tracks of Determine chain dreams.
  • the sheets 3 of the lower chain center in Fig. 1 transported.
  • the one that this one went through Section of the chain track follows a, facing this, at the Sheet guiding device 10 formed sheet guiding surface 17.
  • Between this and the respective arc 3 passed over is preferably operationally on Air cushion formed.
  • the sheet guiding device 10 is included in the Sheet guiding surface equipped 17 blowing air nozzles, of which in Fig. 1 is only a representative of their entirety, and in symbolic Representation in the form of the nozzle 18 is reproduced.
  • the chain guide rails are shown in FIG. 1 waived. However, the course of the same in the present example is from that the chain dreams recognizable.
  • the a section of the braking station 11 in a plan view Fig. 2 shows an example of an optional one Brake element 24 or a support element 25 can be equipped Basic functional unit 26.
  • Basic functional unit 26 By a correspondingly canceled Representation of the braking element 24 and the support element 25 are the both a bow brake 27 and a hand Bow support 28 corresponding set-up conditions on one and the same Functional basic unit 26 shown.
  • the braking element 24 is preferred as an endless suction belt and that Support element 25 formed as an endless support band, which one Cross section has a on the outside of the support band Survey 25.1 forms.
  • a corresponding cross section can be, for example Have a triangular shape.
  • the basic function unit 26 is formed by means of a base body 29, which each after setup, one wrapped around the suction belt or the support belt Roll 30 and at least one further to the roll 30 axially parallel from Suction belt or roll wrapped by the support belt, of which at least one is connected to drive means.
