Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Druckeinheit gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a printing unit according to the Preamble of claim 1.

Durch die EP 06 44 048 A2 ist eine Rotationsoffsetdruckmaschine mit Gummi- und Plattenzylindern bekannt. Diese Gummi- und Plattenzylinder sind paarweise durch eine mechanische Kopplung für ihren gemeinsamen Antrieb zu Zylindergruppen zusammengefaßt. Eine solche Zylindergruppe wird jeweils von einem eigenen Antriebsmotor angetrieben..EP 06 44 048 A2 is one Rotary offset printing machine with rubber and Known plate cylinders. This rubber and Plate cylinders are paired by a mechanical one Coupling for their common drive too Cylinder groups summarized. Such Cylinder group is each one of its own Drive motor driven ..

Die DE 44 30 693 A1 offenbart Druckeinheiten einer Rotationsoffsetdruckmaschine, bei der mindestens ein Zylinder einzeln angetrieben ist und zugehörige Platten- und Gummizylinder zum Antrieb gruppenweise zusammengefaßt sind.DE 44 30 693 A1 discloses printing units of one Rotary offset printing machine, at least one Cylinder is individually driven and associated plate and rubber cylinders for driving in groups are summarized.

Die nachveröffentlichte EP 08 12 683 A1 beschreibt eine Bogenrotationsdruckmaschine, bei der jede Druckeinheit einen Form-, Gummi- und Druckzylinder aufweist. Der Formzylinder jeder Druckeinheit weist einen eigenen Antriebsmotor auf.The post-published EP 08 12 683 A1 describes one Sheet-fed rotary printing press in which each printing unit has a form, rubber and impression cylinder. The Forme cylinders of each printing unit have their own Drive motor on.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Druckeinheit zu schaffen. The invention has for its object a To create printing unit.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the features of claim 1 solved.

In vorteilhafter Weise entfallen bei der erfindungsgemäßen Druckeinheit mechanische Vorrichtungen zum Verstellen der Umfangsregister. Wird mittels des getrennten Antriebes der Plattenzylinder eine Verstellung des Umfangsregister durchgeführt, indem eine Phasenlage der Plattenzylinder relativ zueinander verändert wird, bleibt eine relative Drehwinkellage der Gummizylinder zueinander gleich. Kanäle der Gummizylinder verbleiben relativ zueinander in gleicher Stellung. Eine Stellung eines Kanals eines Plattenzylinders verändert sich zwar zu dem Kanal des zugehörigen Gummizylinders, aber da der Kanal (d. h. ein nichtdruckender Bereich) des Plattenzylinders üblicherweise kleiner ist als der Kanal des zugehörigen Gummizylinders, geht der Kanal des Plattenzylinders nicht über den Bereich des Kanals des Gummizylinders hinaus.
Somit reduziert sich auch bei Verstellung des Umfangsregisters der druckende Bereich infolge der Kanäle der Gummizylinder nicht.
Im Vergleich zu Druckeinheiten deren Zylinder jeweils einen eigenen Einzelantrieb aufweisen, ist der Aufwand der elektrischen Ausstattung wesentlich geringer.Mechanical devices for adjusting the circumferential registers are advantageously dispensed with in the printing unit according to the invention. If the circumferential register is adjusted by means of the separate drive of the plate cylinder by changing a phase position of the plate cylinder relative to one another, a relative angle of rotation position of the rubber cylinders relative to one another remains the same. Channels of the rubber cylinders remain in the same position relative to each other. A position of a channel of a plate cylinder changes to the channel of the associated blanket cylinder, but since the channel (ie a non-printing area) of the plate cylinder is usually smaller than the channel of the associated blanket cylinder, the channel of the plate cylinder does not go beyond the area of the channel of the Rubber cylinder out.
Thus, even when the circumferential register is adjusted, the printing area is not reduced as a result of the channels of the rubber cylinders.
Compared to printing units whose cylinders each have their own individual drive, the outlay on the electrical equipment is considerably less.

Insbesondere zum fliegenden Wechsel von Druckplatten ("Imprinter") ist es möglich, wahlweise jeden Plattenzylinder einer Druckeinheit stillzusetzen, während die Bahn von den zugehörigen Gummi- bzw. Gegendruckzylindern geführt wird. Especially for the flying change of printing plates ("Imprinter") it is possible to choose any To shut down the plate cylinder of a printing unit, while the web of the associated rubber or Counter pressure cylinders is guided.

Im vorliegenden, ersten Ausführungsbeispiel (Fig. 1; Fig. 2) ist eine Druckeinheit 1 einer Offsetrotationsdruckmaschine in sogenannter Brückenbauweise dargestellt. Diese Druckeinheit 1 wird im wesentlichen von zwei Form- und übertragungszylindern 2, 3, 4, 6, z. B. Platten- und Gummizylindern 2, 3, 4, 6 gebildet, die paarweise zusammenwirken. Die beiden Gummizylinder 4, 6 bilden in ihrer Berührzone eine Druckstelle 7, in der eine Materialbahn 8, beispielsweise eine Papierbahn 8 bedruckt wird. Diese Platten- und Gummizylinder 2, 3, 4, 6 sind an beiden Enden mit Zapfen 9, 11 - 14, 16 - 18 versehen, die in Seitengestellen 19, 21 der Offsetrotationsdruckmaschine gelagert sind. Platten- und Gummizylinder 2, 3, 4, 6 sind in bekannter Weise, beispielsweise mittels Exzenterbuchsen, an- und abstellbar angeordnet. Beispielsweise können die Gummizylinder 4, 6 bezüglich der zugehörigen Plattenzylinder 2, 3 an- und abstellbar angeordnet sein. An einer Antriebsseite der Druckeinheit 1 reichen die Zapfen 9, 12, 14, 17 der Platten- und Gummizylinder 2, 3, 4, 6 durch das Seitengestell 19. Die Zapfen 14, 17 der beiden Gummizylinder 4, 6 sind mit zusammenwirkenden Zahnrädern 22, 23 versehen. Diese beiden Gummizylinder 4, 6 werden von einem gemeinsamen Antrieb 24, beispielsweise einem lagegeregelten Elektromotor 24 angetrieben. Der Rotor dieses Elektromotores 24 ist beispielsweise direkt, d.h. ohne Übersetzung, beispielsweise mittels einer Kupplung an einem Gummizylinder 6 angeordnet, aber der Antrieb 24 kann auch an jedem beliebigen der Gummizylinder 4, 6 direkt oder indirekt, z. B. über ein Getriebe (Zahnrad oder Riemen) vorgesehen sein.
Die beiden Plattenzylinder 2, 3 sind jeweils mit einem eigenen Antrieb 26, 27 versehen, der beispielsweise als lagegeregelter Elektromotor 26, 27 ausgeführt ist. Auch hier kann der Antrieb des jeweiligen Plattenzylinders 2, 3 direkt oder über ein Getriebe erfolgen.
Der Antrieb 24 der Gummizylinder 4, 6 und die Antriebe 26, 27 der zwei Plattenzylinder 2, 3 sind zueinander synchronisiert.In the present, first exemplary embodiment (FIG. 1; FIG. 2), a printing unit 1 of an offset rotary printing press is shown in a so-called bridge construction. This printing unit 1 is essentially two form and transfer cylinders 2, 3, 4, 6, z. B. plate and rubber cylinders 2, 3, 4, 6 formed, which interact in pairs. The two rubber cylinders 4, 6 form a printing point 7 in their contact zone, in which a material web 8, for example a paper web 8, is printed. These plate and blanket cylinders 2, 3, 4, 6 are provided at both ends with pins 9, 11 - 14, 16 - 18, which are mounted in side frames 19, 21 of the offset rotary printing press. Plate and rubber cylinders 2, 3, 4, 6 are arranged in a known manner, for example by means of eccentric bushings, on and off. For example, the rubber cylinders 4, 6 can be arranged on and off with respect to the associated plate cylinders 2, 3. On a drive side of the printing unit 1, the pins 9, 12, 14, 17 of the plate and rubber cylinders 2, 3, 4, 6 extend through the side frame 19. The pins 14, 17 of the two rubber cylinders 4, 6 are with interacting gears 22, 23 provided. These two rubber cylinders 4, 6 are driven by a common drive 24, for example a position-controlled electric motor 24. The rotor of this electric motor 24 is arranged, for example, directly, that is to say without translation, for example by means of a clutch on a rubber cylinder 6, but the drive 24 can also be connected to any of the rubber cylinders 4, 6 directly or indirectly, for. B. be provided via a gear (gear or belt).
The two plate cylinders 2, 3 are each provided with their own drive 26, 27, which is designed, for example, as a position-controlled electric motor 26, 27. Here too, the respective plate cylinder 2, 3 can be driven directly or via a gear.
The drive 24 of the rubber cylinders 4, 6 and the drives 26, 27 of the two plate cylinders 2, 3 are synchronized with each other.

Es ist möglich, an einen der beiden Gummizylinder 4, 6 ein drittes Paar Platten- und Gummizylinder anzustellen. Dabei bildet der dritte Gummizylinder mit dem zweiten oder ersten Gummizylinder eine zweite Druckstelle. Auch der dritte Gummizylinder ist dann mit einem Zahnrad versehen, das z. B. in das Zahnrad des zusammenwirkenden Gummizylinders eingreift. Der dritte Gummizylinder ist mechanisch, z. B. formschlüssig an den ersten und zweiten Gummizylinder gekoppelt.
Der dritte Plattenzylinder ist wiederum mit einem eigenen lagegeregelten Elektromotor versehen und somit einzeln angetrieben. It is possible to place a third pair of plate and rubber cylinders on one of the two rubber cylinders 4, 6. The third rubber cylinder forms a second pressure point with the second or first rubber cylinder. The third rubber cylinder is then provided with a gear that z. B. engages in the gear of the interacting rubber cylinder. The third blanket cylinder is mechanical, e.g. B. positively coupled to the first and second rubber cylinders.
The third plate cylinder is in turn provided with its own position-controlled electric motor and is therefore individually driven.

In einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Druckeinheit 28 in sogenannter H-Bauweise dargestellt. Bei dieser Druckeinheit 28 sind vier Platten- und Gummizylinder 29, 34; 31, 36; 32, 37; 33, 38 vorgesehen, von denen jeweils zwei Gummizylinder 34, 36 bzw. 37, 38 aneinander anstellbar, die Bahn 8 bedruckend angeordnet sind. Diese beiden zusammenwirkenden Gummizylinder 34, 36 bzw. 37, 38 sind jeweils gekoppelt und werden von jeweils einem Antriebsmotor 39, 41 angetrieben.
Es ist aber auch möglich, alle vier Gummizylinder 34, 36, 37, 38 zu koppeln und diese vier gekoppelten Gummizylinder 34, 36, 37, 38 mittels eines gemeinsamen Antriebsmotors anzutreiben.In a second embodiment, a so-called H-type printing unit 28 is shown. In this printing unit 28 four plate and blanket cylinders 29, 34; 31, 36; 32, 37; 33, 38 are provided, of which two rubber cylinders 34, 36 and 37, 38 can be placed against one another, the web 8 being arranged printing. These two interacting rubber cylinders 34, 36 and 37, 38 are each coupled and are each driven by a drive motor 39, 41.
However, it is also possible to couple all four rubber cylinders 34, 36, 37, 38 and to drive these four coupled rubber cylinders 34, 36, 37, 38 by means of a common drive motor.

Hierbei weist jeder Plattenzylinder 29, 31, 32, 33 einen eigenen, von den Gummizylindern 34,36, 37, 38 unabhängigen Antriebsmotor 42, 43, 44, 46 auf.Each plate cylinder 29, 31, 32, 33 has one own, from the rubber cylinders 34, 36, 37, 38 independent drive motor 42, 43, 44, 46.

In einem dritten Ausführungsbeispiel ist eine Druckeinheit 47 als sogenannter 9-er Satellit ausgebildet.
Bei dieser Art von Druckeinheit 47 sind vier Platten- und Gummizylinder 48, 53; 49, 54; 51, 56; 52, 57 paarweise mit einem als Gegendruckzylinder 58 wirkenden Satellitenzylinder 58 zusammenwirkend angeordnet. Hierbei sind mindestens zwei Gummizylinder, vorzugsweise sind alle Gummizylinder 53, 54, 56, 57, miteinander gekoppelt und werden von einem gemeinsamen Antriebsmotor 59 angetrieben. Es ist aber auch möglich die Gummizylinder zu beliebigen Gruppen zusammenzufassen und jeweils eine Gruppe von einem eigenen Antriebsmotor anzutreiben (z. B. zwei Gruppen zu je zwei Gummizylindern 53, 54; 56, 57 mit jeweils einem Antriebsmotor).
Im vorliegenden Beispiel weist der Satellitenzylinder 58 einen eigenen Antriebsmotor 61 auf, aber es ist auch möglich diesen an eine Gruppe von Gummizylindern zu koppeln. Vorzugsweise sind bei einer 9er-Satelliten-Druckeinheit alle Gummizylinder 53, 54, 56, 57 und der Satellitenzylinder 58 miteinander gekoppelt und werden von einem gemeinsamen Antriebsmotor angetrieben. Der Antriebsmotor wirkt dabei zuerst auf den Satellitenzylinder 58, von dem aus die Gummizylinder 53, 54, 56, 57 angetrieben werden.
Hierbei weist jeder Plattenzylinder 48, 49, 51, 52 einen eigenen, von den Gummizylindern 53, 54, 56, 57 unabhängigen Antriebsmotor 62, 63, 64, 66 auf.In a third exemplary embodiment, a printing unit 47 is designed as a so-called 9-series satellite.

Here, at least two rubber cylinders, preferably all rubber cylinders 53, 54, 56, 57, are coupled to one another and are driven by a common drive motor 59. However, it is also possible to combine the rubber cylinders into any groups and to drive one group each with its own drive motor (e.g. two groups with two rubber cylinders 53, 54; 56, 57 each with a drive motor).
In the present example, the satellite cylinder 58 has its own drive motor 61, but it is also possible to couple it to a group of rubber cylinders. In a 9-unit satellite printing unit, all of the blanket cylinders 53, 54, 56, 57 and the satellite cylinder 58 are preferably coupled to one another and are driven by a common drive motor. The drive motor first acts on the satellite cylinder 58, from which the rubber cylinders 53, 54, 56, 57 are driven.
Each plate cylinder 48, 49, 51, 52 has its own drive motor 62, 63, 64, 66, which is independent of the rubber cylinders 53, 54, 56, 57.
