Druckmaschinen, insbesondere Offset-Druckmaschinen umfassen in der Regel Plattenzylinder, auf welche Druckplatten aufgebracht werden, welche das zu druckende Bild enthalten. Die Enden der Druckplatte werden in einen axial auf dem Plattenzylinder verlaufenden Spalt eingefügt und darin von einer Spannvorrichtung gehalten. Um die Platte unverrückbar in ihrer Position zu halten, ist oft eine aufwendig herzustellende und somit kostenintensive Spannvorrichtung nötig. Durch die in den Spalt eingefügten Enden der Druckplatte entsteht ein Schlitz auf der Außenoberfläche der Platte. Zur Vermeidung von Vibrationen und Makulatur ist es wünschenswert, diesen Spalt so schmal wie möglich zu halten.Printing machines, in particular offset printing machines, generally comprise Plate cylinder, on which printing plates are applied, which the image to be printed contain. The ends of the pressure plate are axially on the plate cylinder extending gap inserted and held therein by a clamping device. To the plate Keeping them firmly in place is often a complex process to manufacture and therefore costly clamping device necessary. Through the ends of the Pressure plate creates a slit on the outer surface of the plate. To avoid Vibrations and waste are desirable to keep this gap as narrow as possible hold.

Die Enden der Druckplatte sind in einen Spalt eingefügt und werden darin von einer Spannvorrichtung gehalten, welche einen mit Druck beaufschlagbaren Schlauch umfaßt. Wird der Schlauch z. B. mit Druckluft beaufschlagt, so wird eine Kraft auf die Enden der Druckplatte ausgeübt, wodurch die Enden in ihrer Position gehalten werden. Ein derartiger mit Druck beaufschlagbarer Schlauch kann jedoch im Lauf der Zeit undicht oder auf andere Weise fehlerhaft werden.In DE 44 01 201 A1 z. B. a cylinder with a printing plate attached to it described. The ends of the pressure plate are inserted in a gap and are in by a tensioning device is held, which has a pressurizable hose includes. If the hose z. B. pressurized with compressed air, a force is applied to the Exercised ends of the pressure plate, whereby the ends are held in position. On such a pressurized hose may leak or leak over time become faulty in other ways.
In der DE 195 33 178 A1 ist ebenfalls beschrieben, wie die Enden einer Druckplatte in einen Spalt eines Plattenzylinders eingefügt sind. Eine Spannvorrichtung umfaßt ein federnd wirkendes Druckelement, welches eine Kraft ausübt, um die Platte während des Druckbetriebs in Position zu halten. Diese Spannvorrichtung ist jedoch sehr kompliziert und umfaßt viele verschiedene, u. U. aufwendig herzustellende und zu wartende Bauteile.DE 195 33 178 A1 also describes how the ends of a printing plate into one Gap of a plate cylinder are inserted. A tensioning device includes a resilient acting pressure element, which exerts a force to the plate during the To keep the printing operation in position. However, this jig is very complicated and includes many different, u. U. complex to manufacture and maintain components.
DE 44 15 621 A1 beschreibt ebenfalls eine federnd wirkende Spannvorrichtung zum
Befestigen der Enden einer Druckplatte in einem Spalt eines Plattenzylinders. Die in Fig. 1
und 2 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen verschiedene federnd wirkende Elemente,
welche die Enden der Druckplatte kontaktieren und diese in ihrer Position halten. Diese
Vorrichtung ist jedoch ebenfalls störanfällig, da die Federelemente im Lauf der Zeit ihre
Elastizität verlieren können und zum Befestigen mindestens zwei Bauteile nötig sind.
Demgemäß ist es eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine leicht herstellbare, zuverlässig funktionierende und schnell zu betätigende Plattenspannvorrichtung zu schaffen.Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an easy to manufacture to create reliably functioning and quickly operated plate clamping devices.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of

Fig. 1 zeigt eine schematische Darstellung einer Offset-Druckmaschine 100, vorzugsweise
einer Rollenrotations-Offsetdruckmaschine, mit einem ersten Plattenzylinder 4, einem ersten
Gummituchzylinder 14, einem zweiten Gummituchzylinder 34 und einem zweiten
Plattenzylinder 44. Auf den ersten und den zweiten Plattenzylinder 4, 44 sind Druckplatten
aufgebracht, welche die zu druckenden Bilder enthalten, die über den jeweiligen
Gummituchzylinder 14, 34 auf eine Bahn 200 übertragen werden. Beide Plattenzylinder 4,
44 können erfindungsgemäß ausgebildet sein, wie im folgenden näher beschrieben ist. 1 shows a schematic illustration of an
Fig. 2 zeigt eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung, in der eine Druckplatte 1 mit einer
Vorderkante 1A (bzw. Plattenende) und einer Hinterkante 1B (bzw. Plattenende) auf den Plattenzylinder 4 aufgebracht ist. Der
Plattenzylinder 4 weist einen Plattenspalt 3 mit einer eroten seite 3A und einer zweiten seite 3B auf, welcher die Vorderkante 1A und die
Hinterkante 1B aufnimmt. Eine Exzenterwelle 2 weist eine bezüglich einer Bohrungsachse
35 einer im Plattenzylinder 4 geformten Bohrung 5 exzentrische Achse 20 auf und ist
vorzugsweise in der Nähe des die Vorder- und Hinterkante 1A, 1B aufnehmenden
Plattenspaltes 3 angeordnet. Die Exzenterwelle 2
kann von Hand oder
automatisch über eine schematisch durch das Bezugszeichen 40 angedeutete, ein- oder
beidseitig an der Exzenterwelle 2 angeordnete Vorrichtung bewegt oder gedreht und
vorzugsweise auch in axialer Richtung verschoben werden. Durch Drehung im oder gegen
den Uhrzeigersinn kann die Exzenterwelle 2 eine Kraft bzw. Druck F auf die Vorder- und
Hinterkante 1A, 1B der Druckplatte ausüben, um diese gegeneinander zu drängen und zu
verklemmen, so daß ein unerwünschtes Bewegen der Vorder- und Hinterkante 1A, 1B
sowie Fehler im Druckbild verhindert werden. Außerdem wird auf diese Weise verhindert,
daß die Vorder- und Hinterkante 1A, 1B bei hoher Druckgeschwindigkeit aus dem Spalt 3
herausrutschen. Die Bohrung weist eine zusätzliche Ausnehmung auf, in die ein
fingerartiger Vorsprung 22 verfahrbar ist. Bei Drehung der Exzenterwelle 2 greifen der oder
die fingerartigen Vorsprünge 22 durch Öffnungen 15 in der Vorderkante 1A und der
Hinterkante 1B der Druckplatte hindurch und verhindern durch den entstehenden
Formschluß zuverlässig ein Herausrutschen der Plattenenden 1A und 1B aus dem Spalt 3
der Druckplatte, wie dies in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist.Fig. 2 shows an embodiment of the invention, in which a
Fig. 3, 4 und 5 zeigen verschiedenförmig ausgebildete fingerartige Vorsprünge zum Halten
der Platte, z. B. einen Vorsprung 122 mit rechteckigem Querschnitt, einen Vorsprung 222
mit dreieckigem Querschnitt und einen Vorsprung 322 mit halbkreisförmigem Querschnitt.
Hierbei ist es denkbar, daß axial entlang der Exzenterwelle 2 eine Vielzahl von Vorsprüngen
vorgesehen sein kann und daß auf der Exzenterwelle eine beliebige Kombination
verschieden ausgebildeter Vorsprünge eingesetzt werden kann.3, 4 and 5 show differently shaped finger-like projections for holding
the plate, e.g. B. a
Die in den Enden 1A und 1B der Druckplatte geformten, den jeweiligen fingerartigen
Vorsprüngen 22, 122, 222 und 322 zugeordneten Öffnungen besitzen hierbei im
wesentlichen dieselbe Querschnittsform wie der jeweilige fingerartige Vorsprung
(beispielsweise rechteckig, dreieckig oder halbkreisförmig). Der Abstand zwischen den
Enden 1A und 1B der Druckplatte und den den Druckplattenenden 1A, 1B zugewandten
Kanten der Öffnungen 15 kann beispielsweise im Bereich zwischen 0,5 mm und 5-10 mm
liegen, wobei die Öffnungen 15 für einen besseren Eingriff der fingerartigen Vorsprünge 22-322
beim Rotieren der Exzenterwelle beispielsweise auch langlochartig ausgebildet sein
können. In jedem Fall ist der Abstand zwischen der Kante der Plattenenden 1A, 1B und der
diesen zugewandten Kante der Öffnungen 15 stets so ausreichend bemessen, daß ein
sicherer Halt der Druckplatte auf dem Plattenzylinder 4 auch bei höchsten
Fortdruckgeschwindigkeiten noch sichergestellt ist.The respective finger-like ones formed in the
Weiterhin kann es vorgesehen sein, daß die Exzenterwelle 2 eine aufgerauhte Oberfläche
aufweist, um den Reibungskoeffizienten zwischen den Oberflächen der Welle und den
Enden 1A, 1B der Druckplatte zu erhöhen, wodurch der Spannvorgang in vorteilhafter
Weise verbessert wird.Furthermore, it can be provided that the
An der Exzenterwelle 2 können zum Feststellen der Exzenterwelle 2 in verschiedenen
Drehpositionen eine Vielzahl von Haltevorrichtungen, z. B. Klemmen, zusätzliche Exzenter
oder Rastklinken angeordnet sein, um ein Lockern der Platte zu verhindern und das
Aufbringen der Platte auf den Plattenzylinder zu erleichtern. On the
