Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Antreiben von Druckformzylindern für Hilfsprozesse außerhalb des Druckbetriebes in einer Offsetrotationsdruckmaschine.The invention relates to a device for driving printing forme cylinders for auxiliary processes outside the printing operation in an offset rotary printing press.

In Bogenrotationsdruckmaschinen in Reihenbauweise rotieren die Druckformzylinder in den Druckwerken drehwinkelversetzt zueinander. In Abhängigkeit von den Zylinderdurchmessern und der Anordnung der bogenführenden Zylinder weisen dabei die Druckformzylinder nur in jedem zweiten, dritten oder vierten Druckwerk die gleiche Drehwinkellage auf.In sheet-fed rotary printing presses in row construction, the printing form cylinders rotate in the printing units offset from one another in terms of angle of rotation. Depending on the cylinder diameters and the arrangement of the sheet-guiding cylinders, the printing form cylinders have the same angular position only in every second, third or fourth printing unit.

Zur Durchführung von Hilfsprozessen, wie beispielsweise einem Plattenwechsel, werden die Druckformzylinder mit jeweils gleicher Drehwinkellage nacheinander gruppenweise mit dem Hauptantrieb der Druckmaschine in die Plattenwechselposition gedreht, so dass ein vollständiger Plattenwechsel in allen Druckwerken die doppelte bis vierfache Zeit eines Plattenwechsels beansprucht.To perform auxiliary processes, such as a plate change, the printing form cylinder are rotated in each case the same angular position successively in groups with the main drive of the printing press in the plate changing position, so that a complete plate change claimed in all printing twice or four times the time of a plate change.

Zur Bebilderung von Druckformzylindern in Druckmaschinen beim "Direct Imaging" ist es aus der DE 197 23 147 A1 bekannt, die Druckformzylinder mit kuppelbaren separaten Einzelantrieben auszurüsten, um die Bebilderung nach dem Abkoppeln des Plattenzylinders vom Druckmaschinenhauptantrieb mit höherer Drehzahl als beim Fortdruck durchführen zu können. Nachteilig sind die zusätzlichen Einzelantriebe.For imaging of printing forme cylinders in printing presses in "Direct Imaging" it is from the DE 197 23 147 A1 known to equip the printing form cylinder with detachable separate drives to perform the imaging after uncoupling of the plate cylinder from the main press engine drive at a higher speed than the production run. The disadvantage is the additional individual drives.

Zur Verhinderung des Überhitzens der Farbwerke durch das Mitdrehen der Farbwerkwalzen während einer Direktbebilderung der Druckformzylinder ist es aus der DE 195 15 077 A1 bekannt, die Farbwerke mittels Kupplungen an den Druckformzylindern für den Zeitraum der Bebilderung abzukoppeln.To prevent the overheating of the inking units by the co-rotation of the inking rollers during a direct imaging of the printing form cylinder, it is from the DE 195 15 077 A1 known to decouple the inking units by means of couplings on the printing forme cylinders for the period of imaging.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Antriebskonfiguration für Hilfsprozesse mit zumindest teilweise voneinander unabhängiger Drehung der Druckformzylinder zu schaffen, die einen geringeren Aufwand als bekannte Lösungen erfordert.The invention has for its object to provide a drive configuration for auxiliary processes with at least partially independent rotation of the plate cylinder, which requires less effort than known solutions.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des ersten Anspruchs gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved by a device having the features of the first claim.

Die vorgeschlagene Lösung erfordert lediglich trennbare zusätzliche Antriebsverbindungen zwischen vorhandenen beliebigen Farb- oder Feuchtwerkantrieben und den Druckformzylindern.The proposed solution requires only separable additional drive connections between any existing ink or dampening drives and the printing forme cylinders.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass ohnehin an den Druckmaschinen vorhandene dezentrale Antriebe, die außerhalb des Druckbetriebes nicht aktiv sind, zusätzlich für den Antrieb der Druckformzylinder während der Durchführung der Hilfsprozesse zum Waschen, Warten oder Einrichten der Druckmaschine genutzt werden und somit keine zusätzlichen Antriebe benötigt werden.The invention has the advantage that already present at the printing machines decentralized drives that are not active outside the printing operation, in addition to the drive of the printing form cylinder during the implementation of auxiliary processes for washing, waiting or setting up the printing press and thus requires no additional drives become.

Dezentrale Antriebe, die Farbwerke oder einzelne Walzen bzw. Elemente davon antreiben, sind beispielsweise aus der DE 102 49 038 A1 (Heberwellenantrieb), DE 102 49 037 B3 (Heberwalzendirektantrieb), DE 298 21 683 U1 (Heberwalzenantrieb), US 3,688,696 (Duktorantrieb), DE 197 32 059 A1 (Heberwalzenantrieb) bekannt. Auch Feuchtwerke weisen separate dezentrale Einzelantriebe auf. Die darin beschriebenen Motoren sind geeignet, Druckformzylinder anzutreiben und bestimmte Drehwinkelpositionen anzufahren.Decentralized drives that drive inking units or individual rollers or elements thereof, for example, from DE 102 49 038 A1 (Lifter drive shaft), DE 102 49 037 B3 (Heber rolling direct drive), DE 298 21 683 U1 (Lifter roller drive), US 3,688,696 (Duktorantrieb) DE 197 32 059 A1 (Lifting roller drive) known. Even dampeners have separate decentralized individual drives. The motors described therein are suitable for driving printing forme cylinders and for approaching specific rotational angle positions.

Die Erfindung soll am Ausführungsbeispiel des Antriebes von Plattenzylindern für einen schnellen Plattenwechsel mit Hilfe von Farbwerkantrieben in einer Offsetrotationsdruckmaschine näher erläutert werden. Die dazugehörige Zeichnung zeigt in

Figur 1
eine schematische Darstellung des Plattenzylinderantriebs
The invention will be explained in more detail in the embodiment of the drive of plate cylinders for a quick plate change with the help of inking drives in an offset rotary printing machine. The accompanying drawing shows in
FIG. 1
a schematic representation of the plate cylinder drive

In Offsetrotationsdruckmaschinen werden Druckformzylinder, deren Oberflächen die Druckformen tragen, von Farbwerkwalzen eingefärbt. Die Druckformen sind als Druckplatten ausgebildet, die auf die Mantelfläche des Druckformzylinders gespannt sind oder sie sind als farbfreundliche Beschichtungen direkt auf die Oberflächen der Druckformzylinder aufgebracht. Die eingefärbten Bereiche der Druckbilder werden jeweils vom Druckformzylinder im Abrollkontakt auf einen mit einem Gummituch bespannten Gummituchzylinder übertragen, der wiederum mit einem weiteren Zylinder im Oberflächenkontakt steht und mit diesem die Druckzone bildet. Der weitere Zylinder führt den Bedruckstoff in die Druckzone, in der die Druckfarbe vom Gummituchzylinder auf die Bedruckstoffoberfläche aufgebracht wird.In offsetting rotary printing presses, plate cylinders whose surfaces carry the printing plates are inked by inking rollers. The printing plates are designed as printing plates, which are stretched on the lateral surface of the printing form cylinder or they are applied as color-friendly coatings directly on the surfaces of the printing form cylinder. The inked areas of the printed images are each transmitted from the printing plate cylinder in the rolling contact on a rubber blanket covered with a blanket cylinder, which in turn is in surface contact with another cylinder and forms the pressure zone with this. The further cylinder feeds the printing material into the printing zone, in which the printing ink is applied by the blanket cylinder to the substrate surface.

In Figur 1 ist ein Abschnitt eines Offsetrotationsdruckwerkes mit einem Gummituchzylinder GZ, einem Plattenzylinder PZ und einer Farbheberwalze W als Bestandteil eines nicht dargestellten Farbwerkes dargestellt. Der Farbheberwalze W ist im Allgemeinen ein separater dezentraler Antrieb M zugeordnet, der als Direktantrieb ausgebildet ist oder als Einzelantrieb über ein Übertragungsgetriebe auf die Antriebswelle der Farbheberwalze W wirkt. Die Zuordnung eines Antriebes M zu einer Farbheberwalze W ist lediglich beispielhafter Natur, ebenso können auch Duktoren von Farb- oder Feuchtwerken oder andere Farb- oder Feuchtwerkwalzen oder Walzengruppen mit dezentralen Antrieben M ausgestattet sein.In FIG. 1 is a section of a Offsetrotationsdruckwerkes with a blanket cylinder GZ, a plate cylinder PZ and a Farbheberwalze W shown as part of an inking unit, not shown. The ink fountain roller W is generally associated with a separate decentralized drive M, which is designed as a direct drive or acts as a single drive via a transmission gear to the drive shaft of the ink fountain roller W. The assignment of a drive M to an ink fountain roller W is merely exemplary in nature, as well as ductors of inking or dampening or other inking or dampening rollers or groups of rollers can be equipped with decentralized drives M.

Gummituch- und Plattenzylinder GZ, PZ stehen über einen Antriebsräderzug 5,6 mit einem Druckmaschinenantrieb in Verbindung, üblicherweise mit dem Hauptantrieb. Dazu sind ineinander greifende Zahnräder 5,6 auf den Antriebswellen von Platten- und Gummituchzylinder PZ,GZ angeordnet, die Bestandteil des zentralen Antriebsräderzuges sind. Das Zahnrad 6 des Gummituchzylinders GZ ist dabei drehfest mit der Antriebswelle des Gummituchzylinders GZ verbunden.Blanket and plate cylinders GZ, PZ are connected via a drive wheel train 5.6 with a printing machine drive in connection, usually with the main drive. For this purpose, intermeshing gears are 5.6 arranged on the drive shafts of plate and blanket cylinder PZ, GZ, which are part of the central drive wheel train. The gear 6 of the blanket cylinder GZ is rotationally fixed to the drive shaft the blanket cylinder GZ connected.

Auf der Antriebswelle des Plattenzylinders PZ sind jeweils ein erstes und ein zweites loses Antriebsrad 3,5 drehbeweglich gelagert, die mittels fernsteuerbarer Kupplungen 4 alternativ fest mit der Antriebswelle des Plattenzylinders PZ verbindbar sind, wobei das erste Antriebsrad 3 beispielsweise als Riemenscheibe ausgebildet ist, welches mit einem Zahnriemenantrieb 1,2 mit dem jeweiligen dezentralen Antrieb M verbunden ist, und das zweite Antriebsrad 5 als Zahnrad ausgebildet ist, welches mit dem Druckmaschinenantrieb in Verbindung steht. Die einzelnen Kupplungen 4 für das erste und zweite Antriebsrad 3,5 sind zweckmäßig zu einer zweiseitig wirkenden Kupplung 4 zusammengefasst, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Die Kupplungen 4 fungieren als fernsteuerbare Trennstellen 4 in den Antriebsverbindungen 1,2,3 bzw. 5,6 des Plattenzylinders PZ zum dezentralen Antrieb M bzw. zum Druckmaschinenantrieb, wobei die Kupplungen von einer (nicht dargestellten) Maschinensteuerung betätigt werden. Diese Antriebskonfiguration ist erfindungsgemäß in allen Druckwerken realisiert.On the drive shaft of the plate cylinder PZ are each a first and a second loose drive wheel 3.5 rotatably mounted, which are connected by remote controlled couplings 4 alternatively fixed to the drive shaft of the plate cylinder PZ, wherein the first drive wheel 3 is formed for example as a pulley, which with a toothed belt drive 1.2 is connected to the respective decentralized drive M, and the second drive wheel 5 is designed as a gear, which is in communication with the printing machine drive. The individual clutches 4 for the first and second drive wheels 3.5 are expediently combined to form a double-acting clutch 4, as in FIG Fig. 1 shown. The clutches 4 act as remotely controllable separation points 4 in the drive connections 1,2,3 and 5,6 of the plate cylinder PZ to the decentralized drive M and the printing machine drive, the clutches are actuated by a (not shown) machine control. This drive configuration is realized according to the invention in all printing units.

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

Im Druckbetrieb werden alle Plattenzylinder PZ von den Zahnrädern 6 der Gummituchzylinder GZ über die Zahnräder 5 der Plattenzylinder PZ angetrieben. In dieser Betriebsart verbinden die Kupplungen 4 die Zahnräder 5 drehfest mit den Plattenzylindern PZ.In the printing operation, all the plate cylinders PZ are driven by the gears 6 of the blanket cylinders GZ through the gears 5 of the plate cylinders PZ. In this mode, the clutches 4 connect the gears 5 rotatably with the plate cylinders PZ.

Die dezentralen Antriebe M an den Farbheberwalzen W treiben diese an und die Antriebsräder 1 treiben über Zahnriemen 2 die - bei einseitig geöffneter Kupplung 4 - losen ersten Antriebsräder 3 mit an.The decentralized drives M to the ink fountain rollers W drive these and the drive wheels 1 drive via toothed belt 2 - in one side open clutch 4 - loose first drive wheels 3 with.

Zum gleichzeitigen Plattenwechsel in allen Druckwerken schalten die Kupplungen 4 in den Druckwerken um, indem sie die Antriebsverbindungen 5,6 zum Druckmaschinenantrieb zwischen den Zahnrädern 5 und den Antriebswellen der Plattenzylinder PZ trennen und statt dessen die Antriebsräder 3 drehfest mit den Plattenzylindern PZ verbinden. Nun können die Plattenzylinder PZ in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Drehwinkellage unabhängig voneinander über die Antriebe M an den Farbheberwalzen W zum gleichzeitigen Plattenwechsel in eine gemeinsame Plattenwechselposition gedreht werden. Nach vollzogenem Plattenwechsel und Rückdrehung der Plattenzylinder PZ in die Druckpositionen werden von der Maschinensteuerung die Kupplungen 4 betätigt und die Antriebsräder 3 ausgekuppelt und gleichzeitig die Antriebsverbindungen der Plattenzylinder PZ zu den Antriebsrädern 5 wieder hergestellt. Damit werden die Antriebsverbindungen 1,2,3 zu den dezentralen Antrieben M wieder gelöst, die Plattenzylinder PZ sind wieder mit dem Druckmaschinenantrieb verbunden und werden mit dem Antriebsräderzug 5,6 in ihren Drehwinkellagen synchronisiert. Zur schnellen Wiederherstellung der für den Druckbetrieb erforderlichen Drehwinkellagen der Plattenzylinder PZ können die Kupplungen mit bekannten Positionierhilfen ausgestattet sein, die eine vorgebbare Relativlage der zu kuppelnden Elemente beim Einkuppeln definieren.For simultaneous plate change in all printing units switch the clutches 4 in the printing units by separating the drive connections 5.6 to the printing machine drive between the gears 5 and the drive shafts of the plate cylinder PZ and instead connect the drive wheels 3 rotationally fixed to the plate cylinders PZ. Now, the plate cylinder PZ can be rotated independently of each other via the drives M to the ink fountain rollers W for simultaneous plate change in a common plate change position depending on their angular position. After completed plate change and reverse rotation of the plate cylinder PZ in the printing positions of the machine control, the clutches 4 are actuated and the drive wheels 3 disengaged and at the same time restored the drive connections of the plate cylinder PZ to the drive wheels 5. Thus, the drive connections 1,2,3 are released to the decentralized drives M again, the plate cylinder PZ are again connected to the printing machine drive and are synchronized with the drive wheel 5,6 in their rotational angle positions. For quick recovery of the rotational position of the plate cylinder PZ required for the printing operation, the couplings can be equipped with known positioning aids which define a predeterminable relative position of the elements to be coupled during engagement.

In analoger Weise können mit einer dezentralen Antriebsverbindung zu einem Farbwerkantrieb M voneinander unabhängige Waschprozesse an den Plattenzylindern bzw. Druckformzylindern PZ vor der Aufbringung neuer Druckplatten oder Druckformbeschichtungen durchgeführt werden.In an analogous manner, with a decentralized drive connection to an inking unit drive M, independent washing processes on the plate cylinders or printing forme cylinders PZ can be carried out before the application of new printing plates or printing plate coatings.
