Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamping device of a printing press cylinder, which serves to clamp a flexible fabric of the cylinder to be fixed to the cylinder.
  • the invention can be used in particular in offset printing, preferably in web-fed printing.
  • a clamping device of the invention is required for blanket cylinders and forme cylinders of rotary printing presses to attach a blanket or a flexible printing form, which is stretched on a lateral surface of the cylinder, to the cylinder while maintaining the tension.
  • the cylinders have one or more axial channels on its lateral surface, in which or in each of which a clamping device is formed.
  • a clamping device which comprises a plurality of cylindrical clamping body, each of which is supported elastically yielding in the radial direction of a printing cylinder directly to a coil spring.
  • the springs press the clamping body radially outward against two mating surfaces formed in a clamping channel, so that a clamping gap can be formed with either one or the other of the mating surfaces.
  • the coil springs are supported radially inwardly on bearing bodies disposed in the channel. They are guided over part of their axial lengths in the radial direction.
  • the clamping bodies have holes on their rear sides, into which the spiral springs protrude.
  • the clamping device requires several different, relatively movable components that must be arranged in the channel. The coil springs are stressed when clamping a string not only to pressure, but also to bending.
  • a clamping device is formed by two clamping jaws which enclose between them the clamping channel.
  • One of the jaws is firmly connected to the cylinder.
  • the other jaw is movable in the circumferential direction of the cylinder, so that the channel width measured in the circumferential direction can be changed.
  • Seen from the opening of the channel the two clamping jaws form two channel walls, to which the ends of a covering are applied.
  • a hollow cylindrical spring element or a coil spring is arranged horizontally.
  • the movable jaw assumes a position in which the channel opening is widest.
  • One end of the fabric is hooked into the channel so that it bears against one of the channel walls.
  • the other end of the clothing is hooked so that it rests against the other of the channel walls.
  • the movable jaw is adjusted to the other jaw, on the one hand to tension the fabric on the cylinder and on the other to press the two ends of the fabric in the region of the channel opening against each other and thereby clamp the fabric.
  • the spring element With clamped clothing, the spring element is elastically compressed, so that it presses against the projecting into the channel ends of the fabric after the collapse of the jaws and prevents the fabric ends at the nip, ie in the region of the channel opening, bulge outward.
  • the clamping device is complex.
  • the clamping device comprises a pivotally mounted in a clamping channel spring bar and a material-elastic clamping body against which the spring bar is pivoted to clamp two clothing ends.
  • the spring strip is attached to a bearing body which is circular cylindrical over part of its circumference.
  • the channel is shaped according to circular cylindrical and forms a bearing shell for the bearing body.
  • the elastic clamp body rests on the flattening.
  • the spring bar is pivoted by rotating the bearing body on one of the two boundary edges of the channel.
  • the clamping body is arranged between the spring bar and the respective boundary edge.
  • the DE 196 52 521 describes a channel cover for a cylinder channel in an offset printing machine for preventing the entry and / or leakage of foreign matter into a cylinder channel of a printing cylinder.
  • the channel cover is an elastically resilient body, such as a hollow cylinder extending over the length of the cylinder channel.
  • the hollow cylinder is preferably introduced by hand into the cylinder channel and kept in the cylinder channel by pressure on the side walls when the offset printing machine is running. It is advantageous if the cross-sectional shape of the cylinder channel has a cross-sectional shape widening from the cylinder circumference to the channel bottom. In this cross-sectional shape, the hollow cylinder widens again after insertion through the narrowest point of the cylinder channel and then lies like a plug in front of the channel opening.
  • a clamping device for clamping a flexible clothing of a cylinder of a printing press which has at least one axial channel on a lateral surface, comprises a clamping body which is arranged in the channel and with a first mating surface of the channel a nip for at least one projecting through an opening of the channel End of the string forms.
  • the two ends may be the leading and trailing ends of a single fabric, preferably a blanket or a printing form, or the ends of two fabrics which each span only part of the circumference of the cylinder.
  • the first mating surface facing two channel walls one of which forms a second mating surface and the other a third mating surface on which the clamping body is supported by touching the second and the third mating surface.
  • the clamping device further comprises a spring.
  • this spring forms the clamping body.
  • the spring presses with its elasticity force the clamping body and the first mating surface toward each other at retracted clothing to clamp the at least one end of the fabric or preferably two clothing ends.
  • the clamping body and the first mating surface are preferably pressed against each other even when not drawn stringing of the elasticity force. In this case, the spring is thus biased.
  • the elasticity of the spring, d: h. the spring stiffness and optionally a biasing force is chosen so that the at least one end of the clothing or the two ends of the clothing can be guided against the elasticity force in the nip or can, preferably manually.
  • the first mating surface and the clamping body advantageously form a funnel opening towards the opening of the channel, which narrows towards the clamping gap.
  • the clamping body is shaped so that a stiffening of the string end or the string ends during insertion into the nip can not occur.
  • a clamping of the clamping device is not required because the clamping device by inserting the string end or the clothing ends in the nip spans itself or preferably in addition to an already pre-existing bias voltage spans more.
  • the channel and the clamping body are formed in close fit, so that the clamping force required for clamping the at least one end of the string has built up by itself at the latest when the at least one end of the clothing in or through the Clamping gap protrudes.
  • a self-exciting clamping device is obtained by means of the spring.
  • the clamping body is supported without the interposition of additional spring elements, such as coil springs, rigidly connected to the cylinder channel walls, not only a mechanically simple clamping device is obtained, but also a clamping device which stiff at least one end of the clothing and therefore secure and defined clamps.

  • it has as a composite body circumferentially on a jacket made of an elastic material.
  • the composite body has the advantage that another material which has a greater specific weight than the elastic material is still used for the formation of the clamping body beyond the elastic material.
  • a clamping body forming, particularly preferred composite body therefore has a core of a material with a advantageously large specific weight, such as steel, and circumferentially on a sheath of an elastic material.
  • the core and the jacket are preferably connected to one another in a material-locking manner; However, a friction and / or positive connection alone or in combination with a cohesive connection is also conceivable.
  • the hardness of the elastic material should be at least 60 Shore, but on the other hand should not exceed 80 Shore.
  • the clamping body In the variant in which the clamping body is form-elastic, it forms a resilient arc, which is open on a side facing away from the first counter-surface side. By inserting the end of the clothing or the clothing ends in the nip of the arc is elastically deformed and then clamps the fabric with its restoring elasticity.
  • the arch preferably stretches to at least the second mating surface.
  • the second mating surface is shaped and oriented so that it can form a second clamping gap with the clamping body, so that the clothing end or the clothing ends depending on the direction of rotation of the Cylinder between the clamping body and either the first mating surface or the second mating surface can be clamped or can.

  • the pad or insert may be provided with an abrasion resistant surface.
  • a thin but stiff metal plate may be affixed to the surface of the pad or liner facing the channel so that the pad or liner will rebend uniformly over its entire surface.
  • Such a coating should also be flush with the surrounding channel wall. If the covering or insert does not have a solid surface, it may be advantageous if it drops slightly inwardly on its canal-facing surface, ie convex towards the end of the covering, in order to facilitate the insertion of the covering end contacting it.
  • both the clamping body and at least one of the mating surfaces each form a spring and the springs formed in this way only compress the thickness of the at least one string end together, it corresponds to preferred embodiments, if only the clamping body forms the spring.
