Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Druckplatten auf den Plattenzylinder von Druckmaschinen, wobei der Plattenzylinder einen axial zum Plattenzylinder angeordneten Plattenzylinder-Kanal aufweist, in dem eine Spannschiene zur Aufnahme der Vorderkante der Druckplatte angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a device for feeding printing plates to the plate cylinder of printing presses, wherein the plate cylinder has an axially to the plate cylinder arranged plate cylinder channel in which a clamping rail for receiving the front edge of the printing plate is arranged.

Aus der DE 42 15 969 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung bekannt, durch welche die Druckplatten in den geöffneten Erfassungsbereich einer dem Druckanfang zugeordneten Spannschiene eines Plattenzylinders eingeführt werden können. Dabei wird an den in eine bestimmte Winkelposition verfahrenen Plattenzylinder eine sich über die Formatbreite erstreckende Einführschiene derartig an den Außenumfang des Plattenzylinders im Bereich des Druckanfanges angestellt, dass die Vorderkante der Druckplatte über die durch die Einführschiene gebildete Einführfläche direkt in den Erfassungsbereich der Druckanfang-Spannschiene eingeführt werden kann. Der Außenumfang des Plattenzylinders bildet somit mit der Einführschiene einen trichterförrnigen Bereich für die Druckplattenvorderkante.From DE 42 15 969 A1 a device is known, through which the printing plates can be introduced into the open detection range of the pressure beginning associated clamping rail of a plate cylinder. In this case, on the plate cylinder moved to a certain angular position, an insertion rail extending over the width of the format is set against the outer circumference of the plate cylinder in the region of the pressure beginning, that the leading edge of the pressure plate is inserted directly into the detection range of the pressure-starting tensioning rail via the insertion surface formed by the insertion rail can be. The outer periphery of the plate cylinder thus forms with the insertion a funnel-shaped area for the printing plate leading edge.

Aus der US-A-5 526 747 ist der Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Diese Lösung birgt die Gefahr in sich, dass die Druckplatte schief in das geöffnete Maul der Druckplatten-Spannschiene eingeführt werden könnte. Einer der Gründe dafür ist, dass mit dieser Vorrichtung keine Vorpositionierung der Druckplatte erfolgen kann. Damit kann das exakte Einführen in die Druckplatten-Spannschiene nicht gewährleistet werden.From US-A-5 526 747 the preamble of claim 1 is known. This solution involves the danger that the pressure plate could be introduced obliquely into the open mouth of the pressure plate tensioning rail. One of the reasons for this is that with this device no pre-positioning of the printing plate can be done. Thus, the exact insertion into the pressure plate clamping rail can not be guaranteed.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Vorrichtung zu entwickeln, durch welche die Druckplatte aus einer exakten Vorpositionierung lagegenau in das geöffnete Maul der Druckplatten-Spannschiene eingeführt werden kann.The object of the invention is to develop a device by which the pressure plate can be accurately inserted from an exact pre-positioning in the open mouth of the pressure plate clamping rail.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des 1. Anspruchs gelöst. Die Unteransprüche zeigen eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of the first claim. The subclaims show a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass für das exakte Einführen der Druckplatte nur ein geringer mechanischer Aufwand erforderlich ist. Der Weg von der Vorpositionierung zur Spannstelle ist kurz, was zur Stabilität des Vorgangs beiträgt.The invention has the advantage that only a small mechanical effort is required for the exact insertion of the printing plate. The path from the pre-positioning to the clamping point is short, which contributes to the stability of the process.

Die Erfindung soll an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert werden. Die dazugehörigen Zeichnungen haben folgende Bedeutung:

FIG. 1
Representation of the device according to the invention with provided new printing plate
FIG. 2
Representation of the device according to the invention in the phase of introducing the new printing plate

Wie aus der Figur 1 ersichtlich, besteht die Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Druckplatten aus einem Plattenzylinder 1 mit einem Plattenzylinder-Kanal 3. Im Plattenzylinder-Kanal 3 sind eine vordere Spannschiene 31 zum Erfassen der Vorderkante einer Druckplatte 22 und eine hintere Spannschiene 32 zum Erfassen der Hinterkante einer Druckplatte 22 angeordnet. Der Aufbau der vorderen Spannschiene 31 und hinteren Spannschiene 32 ist allgemein bekannt und wird an dieser Stelle nicht näher erläutert.As can be seen from Figure 1, the apparatus for supplying printing plates from a plate cylinder 1 with a plate cylinder channel 3. In the plate cylinder channel 3, a front clamping rail 31 for detecting the front edge of a pressure plate 22 and a rear clamping rail 32 for detecting the Rear edge of a pressure plate 22 is arranged. The structure of the front clamping rail 31 and rear clamping rail 32 is well known and will not be explained in detail here.

Parallel zum Plattenzylinder-Kanal ist eine um ihre Achse drehbare Einlegewelle 4 angeordnet. Diese erstreckt sich über die gesamte Formatbreite und ist mit einem Segmentausschnitt 41 versehen. Der Segmentausschnitt 41 dient zur Aufnahme der Vorderkante der neuen Druckplatte 22 und ist mit Vorpass-Stiften 42 versehen.Parallel to the plate cylinder channel an insert shaft 4 rotatable about its axis is arranged. This extends over the entire format width and is provided with a segment cutout 41. The segment cutout 41 serves to receive the front edge of the new pressure plate 22 and is provided with pre-fitting pins 42.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel wird an Hand einer Einlegewelle 4 beschrieben. Es ist aber auch möglich, ein anderes stabförmiges Element zu verwenden und an diesem eine geeignete Aufnahme für die Vorderkante der neuen Druckplatte 22 anzuordnen.The embodiment will be described with reference to an insert shaft 4. But it is also possible to use another rod-shaped element and to arrange a suitable receptacle for the leading edge of the new printing plate 22 at this.

Dem Plattenzylinder 1 ist weiterhin eine Ablagerolle 6 zugeordnet, die der Führung bzw. der Ablage der gebrauchten Druckplatte dient. Zu diesem Zwecke ist dem Zu- und Abführmechanismus ein Führungsblech 71 zugeordnet, das mit einem Führungsblech 81 den Abführschacht 7 für gebrauchte Druckplatten bildet. Der Zuführschacht 8 für neue Druckplatten 22 wird durch die Führungsbleche 81 und 82 gebildet.The plate cylinder 1 is further associated with a storage roller 6, which serves for the guidance or storage of the used printing plate. For this purpose, the feed and discharge mechanism is associated with a guide plate 71 which forms the discharge chute 7 for used printing plates with a guide plate 81. The feed chute 8 for new printing plates 22 is formed by the guide plates 81 and 82.

Zur Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung:For the operation of the device according to the invention:

Bei anstehendem Druckplatten-Wechsel wird die neue Druckplatte 22 durch den Zuführschacht 8 eingeführt und im Segmentausschnitt 41 auf den Vorpass-Stiften 42 abgelegt. In den Figuren nicht dargestellt ist, dass die neue Druckplatte 22 an ihrer Hinterkante geklemmt wird. Damit kann die neue Druckplatte 22 leicht gegen die Vorpass-Stifte 42 gedrückt werden, so dass sie in dieser Lage unter Vorspannung steht. In einer anderen Variante der Erfindung steht die neue Druckplatte 22 nicht unter Vorspannung, sondern liegt infolge ihres Gewichtes an den Vorpass-Stiften 42 an.When pending printing plate change the new pressure plate 22 is inserted through the feed chute 8 and stored in the segment cutout 41 on the pre-fitting pins 42. In the figures, not shown, that the new pressure plate 22 is clamped at its trailing edge. Thus, the new pressure plate 22 can be easily pressed against the pre-fitting pins 42, so that it is in this position under bias. In another variant of the invention is the new Pressure plate 22 is not biased, but is due to their weight on the pre-fitting pins 42 at.

Zum Druckplatten-Wechsel wird nun die hintere Spannschiene 32 geöffnet. Dabei fährt der Plattenzylinder 1 in eine Stellung, bei der die aus der hintere Spannschiene 32 herausspringende Hinterkante der gebrauchten Druckplatte 21 auf der Ablagerolle 6 zur Ablage kommt. Durch die Drehung des Plattenzylinders 1 entgegen seiner Betriebs-Drehrichtung wird die gebrauchte Druckplatte in den Abführschacht 7 für gebrauchte Druckplatten eingeschoben und kann aus diesen entnommen werden. Die vordere Spannschiene 31 wird geöffnet.To change the pressure plate now the rear clamping rail 32 is opened. In this case, the plate cylinder 1 moves to a position in which the rear edge of the used pressure plate 21 projecting out of the rear clamping rail 32 comes to rest on the depositing roller 6. By the rotation of the plate cylinder 1 against its operating direction of rotation, the used pressure plate is inserted into the discharge chute 7 for used printing plates and can be removed from these. The front clamping rail 31 is opened.

Danach wird die Einlegewelle in Pfeilrichtung verdreht, bis etwa die in Figur 2 dargestellte Lage erreicht ist. Dabei springt die neue Druckplatte 22 durch die Vorspannung aus dem Segmentausschnitt 41 und gleitet in die geöffnete vordere Spannschiene 31. Ist keine Vorspannung vorhanden, rutscht die neue Druckplatte 22 infolge ihres Gewichtes in die vordere Spannschiene 31.Thereafter, the insert shaft is rotated in the direction of the arrow, until approximately the position shown in Figure 2 is reached. The new pressure plate 22 jumps through the bias of the segment cutout 41 and slides into the open front clamping rail 31. If no bias exists, the new pressure plate 22 slips due to their weight in the front clamping rail 31st

Anschließend wird die neue Druckplatte 22 auf die bekannte Weise auf den Plattenzylinder 1 aufgezogen.Subsequently, the new pressure plate 22 is mounted on the plate cylinder 1 in the known manner.
