Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Antreiben von Druckwerkszylindern in einer Druckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The present invention relates to a device for driving printing cylinders in a printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
An den Druckwerkszylindern von Druckmaschinen wird ein Bedruckstoff, z. B. Papier, bedruckt. Im Rollen-Offsetdruck umfassen die Druckwerkszylinder einen Plattenzylinder und einen Gummituchzylinder. Eine auf den Plattenzylinder aufgezogene Druckplatte kontaktiert das auf den Gummituchzylinder aufgezogene Gummituch, während eine Materialbahn oder ein Materialbogen zwischen dem Gummituch und einem Gegendruckzylinder hindurch geführt wird. Dabei wird über Farbwerkswalzen Farbe auf den Plattenzylinder aufgetragen und das so eingefärbte Bild auf das Gummituch und von dort auf die Bahn oder den Bogen übertragen. Zum beidseitigen Bedrucken der Bahn kann der Gegendruckzylinder als ein weiterer Gummituchzylinder ausgebildet sein.At the printing cylinders of printing presses a substrate, z. As paper, printed. In web offset printing, the printing cylinder includes a plate cylinder and a blanket cylinder. A mounted on the plate cylinder printing plate contacted the wound on the blanket cylinder blanket while a web of material or a sheet of material between the blanket and an impression cylinder is passed therethrough. Ink is applied to the plate cylinder via inking rollers and the inked image is transferred to the blanket and from there to the web or sheet. For double-sided printing of the web of the impression cylinder may be formed as another blanket cylinder.
Der Plattenzylinder und der Gummituchzylinder werden von einem auf der Antriebsseite der Druckmaschine angeordneten Antriebsmechanismus angetrieben, der in der Regel ein Getriebe zum Antreiben der einzelnen Druckwerkszylinder umfasst. Der Antriebsmechanismus kann über einen einzelnen Motor oder über mehrere Motoren angetrieben werden. Die Maschinen von Hitachi-Seiko, haben zum Beispiel einen Zweimotorenantrieb zum Antreiben von zwei Druckwerkszylindern in einem Vierzylinder-Druckwerk. Die Maschinen von Heidelberg Web Press, Inc. haben einen Dreimotorenantrieb zum Antreiben von drei Druckwerkszylindern in einem Vierzylinder-Druckwerk.The plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder are driven by a driving mechanism arranged on the drive side of the printing machine, which usually comprises a gear for driving the individual printing unit cylinders. The drive mechanism can be driven by a single motor or by multiple motors. Hitachi Seiko's machines, for example, have a twin-motor drive for driving two printing cylinders in a four-cylinder printing unit. The machines from Heidelberg Web Press, Inc. have a three-motor drive for driving three printing cylinders in a four-cylinder printing unit.
Zur Vermeidung von Wicklern bei Bahnrissen in Rollendruckmaschinen oder zum Wechseln von Platten oder Gummitüchern ist es häufig nötig, den Plattenzylinder vom Gummituchzylinder oder den Gummituchzylinder vom Gegendruckzylinder abzustellen. Die Mechanismen, mittels derer die Druckwerkszylinder bewegt werden, werden als An- und Abstellmechanismen bezeichnet.To avoid winders at web breaks in web presses or to change plates or blankets, it is often necessary to turn off the plate cylinder from the blanket cylinder or the blanket cylinder from the impression cylinder. The mechanisms by which the printing cylinder are moved, referred to as on and Abstellmechanismen.
Da der Plattenzylinder und der Gummituchzylinder im abgestellten Zustand weiter gedreht werden müssen, müssen sie mit dem Antriebsmechanismus in Verbindung bleiben.Since the plate cylinder and the blanket cylinder in the parked state must be further rotated, they must remain in communication with the drive mechanism.

Der Motor wird während des Abstellens bewegt und treibt den Gummituchzylinder im Verhältnis 1:1 an.Press manufacturer MAN Roland uses a direct drive for a blanket cylinder. The motor is moved during parking and drives the blanket cylinder in the ratio 1: 1.
Ein Problem der beschriebenen Vorrichtungen besteht darin, dass die Motoren zum Antreiben der Zylinder sehr groß sind und viel Platz einnehmen, und außerdem oft nur schwer einstellbar sind. Während des Abstellens müssen die Motoren ferner häufig zusammen mit den Zylindern bewegt werden, wodurch eine komplizierte, sehr aufwändige Anordnung entsteht.A problem of the devices described is that the motors are very large for driving the cylinder and take up much space, and also are often difficult to adjust. During shutdown, moreover, the motors often have to be moved together with the cylinders, which results in a complicated, very complex arrangement.

Wenn der Gummituchzylinder und der Plattenzylinder gleich groß sind, haben das Antriebszahnrad und das angetriebene Zahnrad vorzugsweise ebenfalls dieselbe Größe.The printing cylinder may preferably be formed as a plate cylinder of an offset printing press, which further comprises a blanket cylinder, which is driven via a drive gear connected to the ring gear and a driven gear connected thereto, which is fixed to the blanket cylinder. When the blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder are the same size, the drive gear and the driven gear are preferably also the same size.
Das Planetenrad umfasst vorzugsweise eine Vorrichtung zur Vermeidung von Zahnradspiel in Getrieben. Zur Minimierung von Zahnradspiel kann insbesondere eine Beiläufer-Zahnradanordnung verwendet werden.The planetary gear preferably comprises a device for preventing gear play in transmissions. To minimize gear play, in particular a Beiläufer gear arrangement can be used.
Der Motor kann in der Weise angeordnet sein, dass er axial verschiebbar ist und mit einem spiralförmigen Getriebe gekoppelt ist, um eine Bewegung in Umfangsrichtung zur Registereinstellung zu ermöglichen. Alternativ kann das Umfangsregister auch über die Antriebsmotoren eingestellt werden.The motor may be arranged to be axially displaceable and coupled to a helical gear to permit circumferential movement for register adjustment. Alternatively, the circumferential register can also be adjusted via the drive motors.
