Ein Reinigungstuch und eine Reinigungsvorrichtung dieser Art sind aus der EP 0 730 960 A2 bekannt. Das Tuch enthält mindestens eine Markierung, welche von einem Sensor erkannt wird und darauf hinweist, dass das Tuchende bald erreicht ist. Die Markierung kann ein Magnetband, ein Metallstreifen, ein nichtmetallischer Streifen, ein Farbstreifen oder der gleichen sein, welcher induktiv, kapazitiv, elektromagnetisch oder fotoelektrisch erkennbar ist. Automatische Reinigungsvorrichtungen mit einem Reinigungstuch, insbesondere einem Waschtuch, sind auch aus der US 43 44 361 und der DE 44 42 412 C2 bekannt. Ferner ist aus der DE 197 21 213 A1 eine Einrichtung zum Reinigen von Papierleitwalzen bekannt, bei welcher eine durch eine Rotationsdruckmaschine laufende Papierbahn für den Reinigungsvorgang mit Reinigungsstart- und Reinigungsende-Informationen in Form von Löchern oder einem Strichcode versehen wird, die den Beginn und das Ende des Reinigungsvorganges auslösen. Zum Reinigen der Papierleitwalzen wird die Papierbahn befeuchtet und die Differenzgeschwindigkeit zwischen der Papierbahn und der zu reinigenden Papierleitwalze erzeugt.A cleaning cloth and a cleaning device of this type are from the EP 0 730 960 A2 known. The cloth contains at least one marking, which is detected by a sensor and indicates that the cloth end soon is reached. The marking can be a magnetic tape, a metal strip non-metallic stripe, a color stripe or the like, which inductively, capacitively, electromagnetically or photoelectrically. Automatic cleaning devices with a cleaning cloth, in particular a washcloth, are also from US 43 44 361 and DE 44 42 412 C2 known. Furthermore, DE 197 21 213 A1 describes a device known for cleaning paper guide rollers, in which one through a Rotary printing machine with running paper web for the cleaning process Cleaning start and end information in the form of holes or is provided with a bar code that indicates the start and end of the Trigger cleaning process. To clean the paper guide rollers, the Paper web moistened and the difference in speed between the Paper web and the paper guide roller to be cleaned generated.

Die aus der US 43 44 361 bekannte Reinigungsvorrichtung enthält eine Reinigungstuch-Transportvorrichtung, durch welche ein Reinigungstuch von einer Saubertuchspindel über eine Andrückvorrichtung zum Andrücken eines Tuchabschnittes gegen die zu reinigende Zylinderfläche auf eine Schmutztuchspindel transportierbar ist. Eine Wasserversorgungseinrichtung hat eine Vielzahl von Düsen, welche Wasser auf einen Waschtuchabschnitt zwischen der Saubertuchspindel und der Andrückvorrichtung auf die Waschtuchseite sprühen, auf welcher sich auch die Andrückvorrichtung befindet. Dies ist die von der zu reinigenden Zylinderfläche abgewandte Tuchseite. Das Waschtuch ist auf der Saubertuchrolle in einem trockenen Zustand. Das Reinigungstuch wird jeweils während Druckbetriebsunterbrechungen an die rotierende Zylinderfläche angedrückt.The cleaning device known from US 43 44 361 contains one Cleaning cloth transport device through which a cleaning cloth from a cleaning cloth spindle via a pressing device for pressing a Cloth section against the cylinder surface to be cleaned on a Dirty cloth spindle is transportable. Has a water supply facility a variety of nozzles that pour water onto a washcloth section between the cleaning cloth spindle and the pressing device on the Spray the washcloth side on which the pressure device is also located located. This is the side facing away from the cylinder surface to be cleaned Cloth side. The washcloth is on the clean cloth roll in a dry Status. The cleaning cloth is always during Printing interruptions are pressed against the rotating cylinder surface.

Ferner ist es aus der Praxis auch bekannt, ein mit feuchtem Waschmittel vorgefeuchtetes Waschtuch auf der Saubertuchspindel aufgewickelt zu lagern. Die Befeuchtung des Waschtuches erfolgt bereits beim Waschtuchlieferanten, welcher das feuchte Waschtuch als Waschtuchrolle liefert. Zum Liefern und Lagern, vor und nach der Lieferung, muß die Waschtuchrolle luftdicht verpackt werden, damit das feuchte Waschmittel nicht verdunstet.It is also known from practice to use a damp detergent store pre-moistened washcloth on the clean cloth spindle. The washcloth is already moistened by the washcloth supplier, which delivers the wet washcloth as a washcloth roll. To deliver and Storage, before and after delivery, the towel roll must be packed airtight so that the damp detergent does not evaporate.

Die DE-A-36 31 937 zeigt ein Bahnmaterial mit einer maschinell lesbaren Codierung, in Abhängigkeit von welcher ein Muster aus dem Bahnmaterial maschinell ausschneidbar ist. DE-A-36 31 937 shows a web material with a machine-readable Coding, depending on which a pattern from the web material can be cut out by machine.

Die neue Erfindung betrifft sowohl trockene als auch feuchte Reinigungstücher und Waschtücher.
Die Spindeln können hohl sein oder aus Vollmaterial bestehen. Die Antriebsvorrichtung der Schmutztuchspindel kann einen Elektromotor, z.B. einen Schrittmotor enthalten, hat jedoch gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform stattdessen einen pneumatisch (oder elektrisch) betätigten Stößel, dessen Linearbewegungen die Schmutztuchspindel antreiben. Hierfür sind Vorrichtungen bekannt, durch welche die Drehwinkelschritte der Schmutztuchspindel automatisch derart veränderbar sind, daß die taktweisen Vorschubstrecken des Reinigungstuches immer ungefähr gleich groß sind, unabhängig vom Durchmesser der Saubertuchrolle.The new invention relates to both dry and wet cleaning wipes and washcloths.
The spindles can be hollow or made of solid material. The drive device of the dirty cloth spindle can contain an electric motor, for example a stepper motor, but according to a preferred embodiment has instead a pneumatically (or electrically) operated plunger, the linear movements of which drive the dirty cloth spindle. Devices are known for this, by means of which the rotation angle steps of the dirty cloth spindle can be changed automatically in such a way that the intermittent feed distances of the cleaning cloth are always approximately the same size, regardless of the diameter of the cleaning cloth roll.

Das Reinigungstuch und die Reinigungsvorrichtung eignen sich insbesondere zum Reinigen von Gummituchzylindern von Offset-Druckmaschinen, können aber für jede Art von Druckmaschinenzylinder verwendet werden.The cleaning cloth and the cleaning device are particularly suitable for cleaning blanket cylinders from offset printing machines but can be used for any type of press cylinder.

Um Stillstandszeiten der Druckmaschine für den Reinigungsprozeß zu einem für den Druckbetrieb ungünstigen Zeitpunkt zu vermeiden, ist es wünschenswert, zu erkennen, wenn nur noch eine begrenzte Resttuchlänge für die Reinigungsprozesse zur Verfügung steht. Hierfür ist es aus der DE 295 07 134 U1 bekannt, den Außenumfang der Saubertuchrolle durch einen darauf gleitenden löffelartigen Fühler abzutasten und automatisch ein Signal zu erzeugen, wenn auf der Saubertuchspindel nur noch eine vorbestimmte Restlänge an Reinigungstuch vorhanden ist und deshalb das baldige Tuchende der Saubertuchrolle bevorsteht. Dadurch besteht die Möglichkeit, das Reinigungstuch zu einem Zeitpunkt auszuwechseln, bei welchem eine Unterbrechung des Druckbetriebs am wenigsten störend ist. Diese Meßmethode ist ungenau und schwankt z. B. in Abhängigkeit von der Wickeldichte und vom Feuchtigkeitsgehalt der Saubertuchrolle sowie vom Durchmesser der für die Saubertuchrolle verwendeten Spindel.To keep the printing machine downtime for the cleaning process It is to avoid an unfavorable time for the printing operation desirable to recognize if there is only a limited length of residual cloth for the cleaning processes is available. For this it is from DE 295 07 134 U1 known, the outer circumference of the cleaning cloth roll by one on it sliding spoon-like feelers and automatically a signal generate when only a predetermined on the cleaning cloth spindle Remaining length of cleaning cloth is available and therefore the soon end of the cloth the cleaning cloth roll is imminent. This gives you the opportunity to Replace cleaning cloth at a time when one Interruption of printing is the least disruptive. This Measurement method is inaccurate and fluctuates e.g. B. depending on the Winding density and the moisture content of the cleaning cloth roll as well as the Diameter of the spindle used for the cleaning cloth roll.

Bei Verwendung von Reinigungstüchern, welche vorbestimmte Kriterien nicht erfüllen, besteht die Gefahr einer schlechten Reinigungsqualität und damit die Gefahr, daß im Druckbetrieb der Druckmaschine wegen schlechter Druckqualität Ausschuß produziert wird. Hier besteht das Bedürfnis, nachträglich feststellen zu können, von welchem Lieferanten das Reinigungstuch stammt.When using cleaning wipes, which predetermined criteria are not there is a risk of poor cleaning quality and thus the Danger of deterioration in the printing press operation Print quality committee is produced. There is a need here to be able to determine subsequently from which supplier that Cleaning cloth comes from.

Reinigungstücher können ein Gewebe oder Gewirke oder ein Faserflies oder ähnliches Material sein. Es muß jedoch für eine gute Reinigungsfähigkeit in Druckmaschinen qualifiziert sein. Es muß für Druckfarben, Druckfarbenöl, Lösungsmittel, Feuchtwasser für Offset-Druckverfahren, Papierstaub usw. qualifiziert sein.Cleaning wipes can be a woven or knitted fabric or a non-woven fabric or similar material. However, it must be in for a good cleanability Printing presses. For printing inks, printing ink oil, Solvents, fountain solution for offset printing, paper dust, etc. be qualified.

Durch die Erfindung soll die Aufgabe gelöst werden, Reinigungstücher sowie die Reinigungsvorrichtung, in welcher sie für die Reinigung von Druckmaschinenzylindern verwendet werden, derart auszubilden, daß nicht nur eine das baldige Tuchende anzeigende Maßnahme möglich ist, sondern daß beliebige Arten von Informationen und beliebig viele Informationen bereitgestellt werden können, welche die Benutzung der Reinigungsvorrichtung preiswerter, sicherer und wirksamer machen. Dabei soll eine Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, mit welcher die verbleibende Tuchlänge und/oder die bereits benutzte Tuchlänge jederzeit genau feststellbar ist, auch dann, wenn Saubertuchrollen mit verschiedenen Spindel-Durchmessern oder verschiedenen Tuchlängen verwendet werden.The object of the invention is to achieve cleaning wipes as well the cleaning device in which they are used for cleaning Printing press cylinders are used to train such that not only a measure indicating the soon end of the cloth is possible, but that any kind of information and any amount of information can be provided, the use of the cleaning device make it cheaper, safer and more effective. One should Possibility to be created with which the remaining cloth length and / or the already used cloth length can be determined exactly at any time, too when cleaning cloth rolls with different spindle diameters or different cloth lengths can be used.

Diese Aufgabe wird gemäß der Erfindung durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 bzw. von Anspruch 9 gelöst. This object is achieved according to the invention by Features of claim 1 and of claim 9 solved.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist nicht eine Codierung vorgesehen, welche lediglich einen Start oder ein Ende eines Tuches oder auf den Anfang oder Ende eines Tuches hinweist und der Benutzer selbst wissen muß, wieviel Resttuchlänge noch vorhanden ist, sondern die Codierung nach der Erfindung ist auf oder in dem Reinigungstuch durch Markierungen gebildet, deren Ausgestaltung einen maschinell lesbaren, vollständigen Informationsgehalt bildet. Es wird somit nicht nur zum Beispiel darauf hingewiesen, dass "bald" ein Tuchende bevorsteht, sondern es wird das konkrete Tuchlängenmaß angegeben. Ein anderer Informationsgehalt kann beispielsweise der Name oder ein Zeichen des Tuchherstellers sein, das Datum der Tuchherstellung, die Tuchart (trocken, feucht, Stoffart) und dergleichen. Eine Benutzerperson braucht also nicht zu wissen, was eine bestimmte Markierung oder Codierung "bedeutet", sondern der Bedeutungsinhalt wird ihr direkt durch die Reinigungsvorrichtung bzw. deren Leseeinrichtung in einem optischen Anzeigegerät angezeigt in Form von konkreten Längenmaßen, Zahlen oder Worten.According to the invention, coding is not provided, which is merely a start or an end of a cloth or at the beginning or end of one Indicates cloth and the user must know how much residual cloth length is still there, but the coding according to the invention is on or in the cleaning cloth formed by markings, the design of one machine-readable, complete information content. So it won't just pointed out, for example, that "soon" a cloth end is imminent, instead, the actual length of the fabric is given. Another For example, the name or a sign of the Cloth manufacturer, the date of the cloth production, the type of cloth (dry, damp, type of fabric) and the like. So a user does not need to know what a particular label or coding "means" but the meaning is conveyed directly through the cleaning device or whose reading device is displayed in an optical display device in the form of concrete lengths, numbers or words.

Die Erfindung hat die Vorteile, daß beliebig viele Informationen im Tuch speicherbar sind und es sich um ein sehr genaues, direktes Informationssystem handelt. Im Gegensatz dazu wird z. B. bei den bekannten Systemen die Restlänge nur indirekt durch einen Makierungsstrich oder durch Abtasten des Durchmessers der Saubertuchrolle oder durch Summenaddierung von Waschtuch-Förderschritten erkennbar.The invention has the advantages that any amount of information in the cloth can be saved and it is a very precise, direct information system is. In contrast, e.g. B. in the known systems Remaining length only indirectly by a mark or by scanning the Diameter of the cleaning cloth roll or by total addition of Wash cloth conveyor steps recognizable.

Die Codierung ist vorzugsweise ein Binär-Code. Die Codierung enthält vorzugsweise eine Vielzahl von konkreten Längenangaben entlang des Reinigungstuches. Damit wird nicht nur an einer Vielzahl von Stellen entlang des Reinigungstuches sowohl die verbrauchte Tuchlänge als auch die jeweils verbleibende Resttuchlänge erkennbar, sondern es ist auch der jeweils benutzte Tuchabschnitt definierbar.The coding is preferably a binary code. The coding contains preferably a variety of specific lengths along the Cleaning cloth. This will not only go along in a variety of places the cleaning cloth both the used cloth length and the respective remaining remaining cloth length recognizable, but it is also the respective used section of cloth definable.
