Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device with at least one device for acting on a roller with a contact pressure according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • rollers In printing machines, rollers must often be subjected to a pressing force, and in many cases it is crucial for the print quality that the contact force over the width of such a roller is constant.
  • rollers which serve to press substrates conveyed by a carrier against the cylinders of a plurality of printing modules in order to transmit the partial color images produced by the printing modules as uniformly as possible and register-accurate to the printing substrates.
  • devices of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1 which include at least one device for acting on a roller with a contact pressure.
  • the invention has for its object to form a device of the type mentioned in such a way that with little effort, a constant contact pressure across the width of rolls of a printing press can be achieved to transmit the partial color images generated by the printing modules of the printing press as uniformly as possible register on printed substrates.
  • the force-generating element is a pneumatic cylinder
  • the device is a printing machine, which comprises a plurality of said devices, wherein the rollers of these devices are pressure rollers for generating the contact pressure for the transfer of Operaleabildem on a printing substrate in that the rollers in the printing machine, in particular an electrophotographic printing machine, are arranged on a support for printing substrates opposite of cylinders which are designed to transfer the partial color images to printing substrates and the contact pressure is dimensioned to effect this transfer.
  • the force-generating element according to the invention is a pneumatic cylinder. This is well controllable with respect to the pressing force such as on and off of a roller and can scin designed such that it acts simultaneously as a damping element. In this way, the occurrence of vibrations is prevented, for example, those that could be excited by printing substrate leading edges or trailing edges.
  • Another force-generating element can be formed in various ways.
  • the force-generating element is designed for applying a permanent force which is dimensioned such that the contact pressure is produced by means of the two-armed levers.
  • a permanent force may be generated by the force-generating element being a weight.
  • a force generated in this way is always constant, has hardly any position-dependent differences and no hysteresis, as is the case with springs.
  • the force-generating element provides that this is designed to apply a variable force, which is adjustable so that a desired contact pressure can be achieved.
  • the variable force is also adjustable so that the contact pressure is ab plausible, so the roller can be moved away from the cooperating with her element. This also serves to prevent the above-mentioned deformation of surfaces.
  • variable force is generated by means of the pneumatic cylinder, with the various forces such as on and off a roller are easily achievable. Also in this case can be achieved by the pneumatic cylinder a good damping effect.
  • cross-connection formed as a resilient element, a particularly good absorption of shocks and pressure fluctuations and a very good compensation of inaccuracies is achieved. This purpose is also served if the cross connection is rotatably connected to the levers, wherein the cross connection should be parallel to the roller.
  • the side parts may be housing walls or separate components that are connected to the housing walls.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the device according to the invention.
  • a roller 1 with a pressing force 3 this is mounted on the one ends of two two-armed levers 4, 5.

  • This may be a force-generating element 9 for generating a permanent force 10, a force-generating element 9 'for generating a permanent force 10 opposing force 10' or a force-generating element 9 "for generating a variable force 10" act.
  • the depiction here is symbolic in nature, it will be explained in more detail below.
  • the adjusting movement of the roller 1 is indicated by means of a double arrow 20 and the adjusting movement of the opposite ends of the levers 4, 5 with the double arrow 21.
  • Forces 10, 10 ', 10 "and adjusting movements 20 and 21 serve to cooperate with the roller 1,
  • the component 3, which is symbolized here by three arrows, is to be applied to the component not shown here, and the three arrows 3 are to make it clear that the contact force 3 is uniformly distributed over the entire width of the roller Main purpose of the invention, which is achieved in that the force transmission takes place by means of the two-armed lever 4, 5 such that the roller 1 is subjected to uniform forces.
  • the diagram in FIG. 2 shows a printing machine 2 with a carrier 17 for transporting printing substrates 16 through the printing press 2 in the direction of the arrow 31.
  • the printing substrates 16 are moved from one printing module 19, 19 ', 19 ", 19”' to the other transported by cylinders 18, 18 ', 18 ", 18"' of the printing modules 19, 19 ', 19 “, 19”' printed with partial color images 15, 15 ', 15 ", 15”', which together give the color print.
  • an exact contact pressure 3 and a vibration-free guidance of the printing substrates 16 is required.
  • the invention proposes rollers 10, 10 ', 10 ", 10"', which are mounted according to the principle presented above.

  • a roller 22 serves to drive the carrier 17 in the direction of arrow 23. Another role is served by the action of a tension roller 25.
  • a transverse to its axis of rotation pivotable roller 26 is provided for lateral adjustment of the tape run of the carrier 17.
  • a deflection roller 27 cooperates with a roller 28.
  • the roller 28 is used to place print substrates 16, which are to be printed.
  • Guide rollers 29 cause a certain wrapping of cylinders 18, 18 ', 18 ", 18"', which according to the partial color images 15, 15 ', 15 ", 15”' carry a printed image in the form of toner particles for transfer to the printing substrates 16.
  • the cylinders 15, 15 ', 15 ", 15”' can be provided with the toner particles directly or via further cylinders (not shown).
  • the arrows 32 show the direction of rotation of the cylinders 15, 15 ', 15 ", 15”'.
  • rollers 10, 10 ', 10 ", 10"' designed as pressure rollers are provided. provided, which are on the underside of the carrier 17 on and off. Another roller 30 is used to remove a printing substrate 16 from the carrier 17th
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the device according to the invention with force-generating elements 9 and 9 ', which are designed as a weight 11 and as a pneumatic cylinder 12.
  • the weight 11 pulls down and thereby generates the contact pressure 3 of the roller 10.
  • This element 9 ' is designed as a pneumatic cylinder 12.
  • the adjusting movement of the pneumatic cylinder 12 is indicated by means of the double arrow 34. If the pneumatic cylinder 12 is not active, the contact pressure 3 is generated by the weight 11.
  • the two two-armed levers 4, 5 are attached to side parts 6, 7, which are interconnected by cross braces 33. In this way, the device is designed such that it can be used as a whole in a machine by, for example, the side parts 6, 7 are fixed in the machine.
