Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zu- und Abführen von Druckplatten auf den Plattenzylinder von Druckmaschinen, wobei der Plattenzylinder einen axial zum Plattenzylinder angeordneten Plattenzylinder-Kanal aufweist, in dem eine vordere Spannschiene zur Aufnahme der Vorderkante der Druckplatte und eine hintere Spannschiene zur Aufnahme der Hinterkante der Druckplatte angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a device for feeding and removing printing plates on the plate cylinder of printing presses, the plate cylinder being one axially to the plate cylinder arranged plate cylinder channel, in which a front clamping rail for receiving the front edge of the pressure plate and a rear tensioning rail to accommodate the rear edge the pressure plate is arranged.

Aus der DE 44 04 558 A 1 ist eine Vorrichtung zu automatischen Wechseln von Druckplatten bekannt. Diese Vorrichtung besteht aus zwei durch zweckentsprechende Leit- und Führungsbleche gebildete Schächte, die zum Ab- bzw. zum Zuführen der Druckplatten dienen. Zum Fördern der Druckplatten sind Transportrollen oberhalb der Schächte angeordnet.DE 44 04 558 A 1 describes a device for automatically changing printing plates known. This device consists of two by appropriate guide and guide plates formed shafts, which serve to remove or to feed the printing plates. To promote the pressure plates transport rollers are arranged above the shafts.

Eine neu zuzuführende Druckplatte wird durch einen Spalt, der durch eine Transportrolle und eine Gegendruckrolle gebildet wird, geführt und auf Anschlägen abgestellt.A new pressure plate to be fed is through a gap through a transport roller and a counter pressure roller is formed, guided and placed on stops.

In bekannter Weise wird nun die gebrauchte Druckplatte nach dem Lösen einer dem Druckende zugeordneten Halteeinrichtung durch Rückwärtsdrehen des Plattenzylinders (entgegen der normalen Drehrichtung) durch den Spalt der Führungsbleche aus der Oberseite des Schutzes herausgefördert. Der Plattenzylinder wird dabei soweit zurückgedreht, bis er eine Position einnimmt, welche auch zum Einfügen einer neuen Druckplatte dient. Daraufhin erfolgt das Anstellen der Transportrolle an die andere Gegendruckrolle und die Druckplatte wird durch die Drehung der Transportrolle aus dem geöffneten Erfassungsbereich der Spannschiene herausgezogen. Damit die beim Abfördern der Druckplatte vorauslaufende Kante in den Spalt zwischen den Führungsblechen und somit in den Erfassungsbereich der Transportrollen mit den Gegendruckrollen gelangen kann, ist das Führungsblech heruntergezogen. An dem Ende des Führungsbleches sind ferner voneinander beabstandet biegsame Leitzungen angebracht, an welcher die Kante der Druckplatte entlang gleiten kann. Ein vor den Farbwerkswalzen befindlicher Einlaufschutz übernimmt ebenfalls eine Leitfunktion.In a known manner, the used printing plate is now released after the end of printing assigned holding device by turning the plate cylinder backwards (contrary to the normal Direction of rotation) through the gap of the guide plates out of the top of the guard. The plate cylinder is turned back until it assumes a position which is also used to insert a new printing plate. The queuing then takes place the transport roller to the other counter pressure roller and the pressure plate is rotated the transport roller is pulled out of the open detection area of the tensioning rail. So that the leading edge when the printing plate is removed into the gap between the Guide plates and thus in the detection area of the transport rollers with the counter pressure rollers the guide plate is pulled down. At the end of the guide plate are also spaced apart flexible guide tongues attached to which the Edge of the pressure plate can slide along. A running-in protection in front of the inking rollers also takes on a leading role.

Vor dem Plattenzylinder ist eine verschwenkbare Einführschiene angeordnet. Diese Einführschiene weist im Bereich der genannten Anschläge Ausnehmungen auf, so dass das schwenkbare Ende der Einführschiene durch die Anschläge nicht behindert wird und unter die Vorderkante der Druckplatte greifen kann. A pivotable insertion rail is arranged in front of the plate cylinder. This insertion rail has recesses in the area of the abovementioned stops, so that the pivotable End of the insertion rail is not hindered by the stops and under the front edge the pressure plate can grip.

Durch Anschwenken der Einführschiene an den Plattenzylinder wird somit die Druckplatte mit ihrer Vorderkante von den Anschlägen abgenommen. Die Einführschiene bildet mit der Außenkontur des Plattenzylinders am Druckanfang einen trichterförmigen Bereich zum Einführen der Vorderkante der Druckplatte in den geöffneten Erfassungsbereich der Spannschiene.By swiveling the insertion rail onto the plate cylinder, the pressure plate is also included their front edge removed from the stops. The insertion rail forms with the outer contour of the plate cylinder at the start of the print a funnel-shaped area for inserting the Front edge of the pressure plate in the open detection area of the tensioning rail.

Durch die Einführschiene wird die Druckplatte nach dem Anstellen der Transportrollen an die Gegendruckrollen in ihrem unteren Bereich zum Plattenzylinder hin verbogen. Nun erfolgt wiederum ein Ansteuern der Transportrollen, so dass sich die Transportrolle an die andere Gegendruckrolle anlegt und die Druckplatte fördert. Die Vorderkante der Druckplatte wird in die geöffnete Spannschiene eingeführt, woraufhin ein Klemmen der Druckplatte erfolgt. Die Einführschiene wird wieder in ihre Grundposition zurückgeschwenkt und die geklemmte Druckplatte wird durch Vorwärtsdrehen des Plattenzylinders um dessen Außenumfang aufgezogen, woraufhin das Klemmen des Druckendes und das Spannen der Druckplatte erfolgt.Through the insertion rail, the pressure plate is attached to the after the transport rollers Counter pressure rollers bent in their lower area towards the plate cylinder. Now it is done again a control of the transport rollers so that the transport roller on the other counter pressure roller creates and promotes the pressure plate. The front edge of the pressure plate is in the open clamping rail inserted, whereupon the pressure plate is clamped. The insertion rail is swiveled back into its basic position and the clamped pressure plate is pulled up by rotating the plate cylinder around its outer circumference, whereupon the printing end is clamped and the printing plate is tensioned.

Der Nachteil dieser Lösung besteht in dem aufwendigen und störanfälligen Mechanismus. Durch das Verbiegen der einzuführenden neuen Druckplatte wird diese stark belastet. Der Vorgang ist auch zeitaufwendig, da das Abführen der alten und das Zuführen der neuen Druckplatte nacheinander abläuft.The disadvantage of this solution is the complex mechanism which is prone to failure. By the bending of the new pressure plate to be inserted is heavily stressed. The process is also time-consuming, since the old printing plate and the new printing plate are removed one after the other expires.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine einfach aufgebaute und störsichere Vorrichtung zu entwickeln, durch die das Abführen der gebrauchten Druckplatte teilweise zeitgleich mit dem Zuführen der neuen Druckplatte erfolgen kann.The object of the invention is to provide a simply constructed and fail-safe device develop, through which the removal of the used printing plate partly at the same time as the Feeding the new printing plate can be done.

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 claim 1. The subclaims show a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass der Wechselvorgang ohne nochmaliges Positionieren des Plattenzylinders zwischen dem Zu- und Abführen der Druckplatte erfolgt. Der gesamte Prozess kann somit sehr schnell ablaufen. Der Mechanismus ist einfach aufgebaut und umfasst wenig Bauteile, was die Einrichtung unanfällig für Störungen macht. Die Belastung der Druckplatte ist infolge der geringen Verbiegung sehr gering. The invention has the advantage that the changing process without repositioning the Plate cylinder between the supply and discharge of the printing plate takes place. The whole process can therefore run very quickly. The mechanism is simple and contains little Components, which makes the device immune to interference. The load on the pressure plate is very low due to the slight deflection.

Wie aus der Figur 1 ersichtlich, besteht die Vorrichtung zum Zu- und Abführen 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 21, 22 und eine hintere Spannschiene 32 zum Erfassen der Hinterkante einer Druckplatte 21, 22 angeordnet. Der Aufbau der vorderen Spannschiene 31und hinteren Spannschiene 32 ist allgemein bekannt und wird an dieser Stelle nicht näher erläutert.As can be seen from FIG. 1, there is a device for feeding and removing printing plates from a plate cylinder 1 with a plate cylinder channel 3. In the plate cylinder channel 3 are a front tensioning rail 31 for grasping the front edge of a pressure plate 21, 22 and one rear clamping rail 32 arranged for grasping the rear edge of a pressure plate 21, 22. The structure of the front tensioning rail 31 and rear tensioning rail 32 is generally known and is not explained in more detail here.

Parallel zum Plattenzylinder-Kanal 3 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.Arranged parallel to the plate cylinder channel 3 is an insert shaft 4 which is rotatable about its axis. This extends over the entire format width and has a segment cutout 41 Mistake. The segment cutout 41 serves to receive the front edge of the new printing 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 exemplary embodiment is described using an insertion shaft 4. But it is also possible to use another rod-shaped element and on this a suitable receptacle to be arranged for the front edge of the new pressure plate 22.

An die Einlegewelle 4 ist ein als Andrückwalze 5 ausgebildetes Andrückelement anstellbar. Die Andrückwalze 5 ist selbst nicht angetrieben, sondern steht im angestelltem Zustand mit der Einlegewelle 4 über die gebrauchte Druckplatte 21 im Reibschluss.A pressure element designed as a pressure roller 5 can be placed on the insertion shaft 4. The Pressure roller 5 is not itself driven, but is in the engaged state with the insertion shaft 4 on the used pressure plate 21 in friction.

Dem Plattenzylinder 1 ist weiterhin eine Ablagerolle 6 zugeordnet, die der Führung bzw. der Ablage der gebrauchten Druckplatte 21 dient. Zu diesem Zwecke ist dem Zu- und Abführmechanismus durch ein Führungsblech 71, das mit einem Führungsblech 81 den Abführschacht 7 für gebrauchte Druckplatten 21 bildet, zugeordnet. Der Zuführschacht 8 für die neue Druckplatten 22 wird durch die Führungsbleche 81 und 82 gebildet. The plate cylinder 1 is also assigned a storage roller 6, which is the guide or the storage the used pressure plate 21 is used. For this purpose, the feed and discharge mechanism through a guide plate 71, which with a guide plate 81 the discharge shaft 7 for used printing plates 21 forms, assigned. The feed shaft 8 for the new printing plates 22 is formed by the guide plates 81 and 82.

Zur Wirkungsweise der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung: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 there is a change of printing plate, the new printing plate 22 is fed through the feed shaft 8 introduced and stored in the segment cutout 41 on the pre-fit pins 42. In the figures is not shown that the new pressure plate 22 is clamped on its rear edge. In order to the new pressure plate 22 can be pressed lightly against the pre-fitting pins 42 so that they fit in this position is under tension. Another variant of the invention is the new one Pressure plate 22 is not under tension, but is due to its weight on the pre-fit pins 42 on.

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 21 in den Abführschacht 7 für gebrauchte Druckplatten eingeschoben, bis die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Lage erreicht ist. Die vordere Spannschiene 31 wird geöffnet.To change the printing plate, the rear clamping rail 32 is now opened. The drives Plate cylinder 1 in a position in which the protruding from the rear clamping rail 32 The trailing edge of the used pressure plate 21 comes to rest on the storage roller 6. Through the Rotation of the plate cylinder 1 against its operating direction of rotation becomes the used one Printing plate 21 inserted into the discharge shaft 7 for used printing plates until the in the Figure 1 shown position is reached. The front tensioning rail 31 is opened.

In dieser Stellung wird die Andrückwalze 5 an die gebrauchte Druckplatte 21 angelegt, so dass diese an die Einlegewelle 4 gedrückt wird (siehe Pfeil). Wie in der Figur 2 dargestellt, wird nun die Einlegewelle 4 in Pfeilrichtung gedreht. Dabei wird durch das Weiterdrehen der Einlegewelle 4 die gebrauchte Druckplatte 21 durch die nunmehr gebildete Walzenpaarung Einlegewelle 4/Andrückwalze 5 aus dem Bereich der vorderen Spannschiene 31 gefördert.In this position, the pressure roller 5 is applied to the used printing plate 21, so that this is pressed against the insertion shaft 4 (see arrow). As shown in Figure 2, now the insertion shaft 4 rotated in the direction of the arrow. By turning the insert shaft 4 the used pressure plate 21 through the now formed roller pair insertion shaft 4 / pressure roller 5 conveyed from the area of the front tensioning rail 31.

Ist etwa die in Figur 2 dargestellte Lage erreicht, springt die neue Druckplatte 22 infolge ihrer 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.When the position shown in FIG. 2 is reached, the new pressure plate 22 jumps as a result of it Preload from segment cutout 41 and slides into the open front tensioning rail 31. If there is no preload, the new pressure plate 22 slips due to its weight into the front tensioning rail 31.

Die Walzenpaarung Einlegewelle 4/Andrückwalze 5 wird so lange weiter betätigt, bis die gebrauchte Druckplatte 21 in eine Lage kommt, aus der sie aus dem Abführschacht 7 entnommen werden kann. Um das zu ermöglichen, ist die Einlegewelle 4 in Entnahmerichtung mit einem Freilauf versehen. Damit kann die gebrauchte Druckplatte 21 nicht wieder in Richtung Plattenzylinder-Kanal 3 zurück rutschen. The roller pair of insertion shaft 4 / pressure roller 5 is operated until the used one Pressure plate 21 comes into a position from which it is removed from the discharge shaft 7 can be. To make this possible, the insertion shaft 4 is in the removal direction with a Provide free running. So that the used pressure plate 21 can not again in the direction of the plate cylinder channel 3 slide back.

Anschließend wird die neue Druckplatte 22 auf die bekannte Weise auf den Plattenzylinder 1 aufgezogen. The new printing plate 22 is then placed on the plate cylinder 1 in the known manner reared.
