Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Antrieb für eine Rollen-Rotationsdruckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a drive for a web-fed rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer gattungsbildenden Rotationnsdruckmaschine wurde bisher allen Druckeinheiten und Zusatzaggregaten eine gemeinsame horizontal liegende Hauptantriebswelle zugeordnet. Sie ist in Lagern gelagert und hat Kraftübertragungsstellen gegenüber jeder Druckeinheit. Jeder Kraftübertragungsstelle ist ein eigener Antriebsmotor zugeordnet. Kupplungen mit einer Stellung ermöglichen ein wahlweises Ein- und Ausrücken der einzelnen Druckeinheiten auf die Antriebswelle, so daß die einzelnen Druckeinheiten unabhängig voneinander antreibbar sind, um an abgeschalteten Druckeinheiten Wartungs- und Zurichtarbeiten durchführen zu können. Üblicherweise erfolgt die Kraftübertragung der Antriebsmotoren auf die Hauptantriebswelle entweder mittels Zahnräder, Zahnketten oder Riemen, und von dort über eine Vertikal- und weiteren Horizontalwellen durch Kegelräder auf die Druckeinheiten. Die Hauptantriebswelle dient gleichzeitig als Synchronisierungswelle der gekuppelten Druckeinheiten.So far, a generic rotary printing machine a common for all printing units and additional units horizontal main drive shaft assigned. she is in Camped and has power transmission points towards everyone Printing unit. Each power transmission point is unique Drive motor assigned. Allow one-position clutches an optional engagement and disengagement of the individual printing units the drive shaft so that the individual printing units are independently driven to turn on Printing units to be able to carry out maintenance and preparation work. The power transmission of the drive motors usually takes place the main drive shaft either by means of gears, tooth chains or Straps, and from there on a vertical and another Horizontal waves through bevel gears on the printing units. The The main drive shaft also serves as the synchronization shaft of the coupled printing units.

Zum Beispiel zeigt die DE-PS 975 145 einen Antrieb für eine Rollen-Rotationsdruckmaschine in Reihenanordnung, bei welchem die Druckeinheiten durch eigene Elektromotoren, die auf mehreren Hauptantriebswellen angeordnet sind, mittels an die jeweilige Hauptantriebswelle kuppelbaren Vertikalwellen angetrieben werden. Diese Einrichtung ist dazu gedacht, die Druckwerke einschließlich aller Hilfseinrichtungen wahlweise stillsetzen zu können, während die Farbwerke weiterlaufen. Diese Einrichtung ist für die Anwendung bei Druckmaschinen in Etagenbauweise zu aufwendig. For example, DE-PS 975 145 shows a drive for one Web-fed rotary printing press, in which the Printing units through our own electric motors, which work on several Main drive shafts are arranged by means of the respective Main drive shaft can be coupled to vertical shafts. This facility is intended to include the printing units to be able to shutdown all auxiliary devices either while the inking units continue to run. This facility is for the application too expensive for multi-storey printing presses.

Die DE-PS 27 58 900 zeigt ebenfalls einen Antrieb einer Rollen-Rotationsdruckmaschine in Reihenbauweise, bei welchem jeder Druckeinheit ein eigener Antriebsmotor zugeordnet ist, der über eine Kupplung an eine horizontale Hauptantriebswelle ankuppelbar ist.DE-PS 27 58 900 also shows a drive of a web-fed rotary printing press in Series construction, in which each printing unit is assigned its own drive motor, which can be coupled to a horizontal main drive shaft via a coupling.

Die DE-C 594 086 zeigt eine Druckmaschine lediglich in Reihenbauweise, bei der die einzelnen Druckwerke durch je einen Motor einzeln antreibbar sind und zum Zusammenschluß zum größeren Maschinenverbund eine gemeinsame horizontal verlaufende Synchronwelle vorgesehen ist, an die jeder Motor lösbar ankuppelbar ist.DE-C 594 086 shows a printing press only in series, in which the individual printing units can be driven individually by one motor each and Merger to form a larger machine network a common horizontal extending synchronous shaft is provided to which each motor can be detachably coupled.

Die US-A 2,053,979 zeigt zwar ebenfalls Druckeinheiten, die eigene Antriebe aufweisen, befaßt sich aber mit dem Problem, die stärkeren mit den schwächeren Antrieben zu synchronisieren.US Pat. No. 2,053,979 likewise shows printing units which have their own drives, deals with the problem, the stronger with the weaker drives synchronize.

Da jedoch bei einem derartigen Wellenantrieb mit Horizontal- und Vertikalwellen, insbesondere bei Rollen-Rotationsdruckmaschinen in Etagenbauweise eine beachtliche Anzahl von Antriebsrädern, Zwischenrädern in Form von Kegelrädern und daraus resultierende Zahnspiele anfällt, ist eine Registerhaltigkeit innerhalb der gesamten Maschine aufgrund der auftretenden Passerfehler nur sehr schwer sicherzustellen.However, since with such a shaft drive with horizontal and vertical shafts, a remarkable one, particularly in the case of web-fed rotary printing presses Number of drive wheels, intermediate wheels in the form of bevel gears and therefrom resulting tooth play is a register accuracy within the entire machine difficult to ensure due to the registration errors that occur.

So zeigt die DE-A-2 406 509 eine Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine in Etagenbauweise, bei der die Drucktürme durch eine horizontal verlaufende Synchronwelle verbunden sind, die Druckeinheiten an Vertikalwellen an- und abkuppelbar sind, in jeder der Druckeinheiten je ein Antriebsmotor und eine Kraftabgriffseinheit vorgesehen sind, mittels dieser die jeweilige Vertikalwelle zuschaltbar ist.For example, DE-A-2 406 509 shows a web-fed rotary printing press in which the printing towers are connected by a horizontal synchronous shaft, the Pressure units on vertical shafts can be coupled and uncoupled, in each of the pressure units a drive motor and a force tapping unit are provided, by means of which the respective Vertical shaft is switchable.

Davon ausgehend ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung einen Antrieb für eine Rollen-Rotationsdruckmaschine zu schaffen, bei welchem die Druckeinheiten von Maschinen in Etagenbauweise individuell antreibbar sind und dennoch die Anzahl der Antriebsräder und somit der Zahnspiele verringert ist.Based on this, the object of the invention is a drive for a web-fed rotary printing press to create, in which the printing units of machines in Tiered construction can be driven individually and yet the number of drive wheels and thus the tooth play is reduced.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung durch die im kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmale. This object is achieved according to the invention by the in the characterizing part of Claim 1 specified features.

Da die einzelnen Druckeinheiten zu beliebigen Gruppen gekuppelt werden können, sind die vielfältigsten Produktionsmöglichkeiten gegeben. Die mit eigenem Antriebsmotor und Kraftabgriffseinheit ausgestatteten Druckeinheiten bilden somit Bausteine eines modularen Systems, das mittels Horizontal - und Vertikalwellen synchronisierbar ist. Mit der direkten Zuordnung der Antriebsmotoren und den integrierten Vertikalwellen bei Druckeinheiten in Etagenbauweise sind keine außerhalb der Druckeinheiten liegende Kegelradgetriebe einschließlich einer Befestigungskonsole erforderlich. Because the individual printing units are coupled to any groups are the most diverse production options given. The one with its own drive motor and power take-off unit equipped printing units thus form the building blocks of a modular Systems using horizontal and vertical waves is synchronizable. With the direct assignment of the drive motors and the integrated vertical waves in pressure units in Tiered structures are not those located outside the printing units Bevel gearbox including a mounting bracket required.

Each drive wheel is 25 to 30 within the respective force tapping unit 14 to 19 in a known manner Manner, e.g. by means of claw couplings with axial drivers Clutch as used in general mechanical engineering to a horizontal shaft 21 and / or vertical shaft 22 connectable. One printing unit cylinder 20 each of a printing unit 1 to 6 is by means of a drive motor 8 to 13 each Force tapping units 14 to 19 to which the printing couple cylinder 20 in can be coupled in a known manner, driven.

Die einzelnen Druckeinheiten 1 bis 6 haben zahlreiche übliche Einrichtungen, wie Farb- und Feuchtwerk, ihr Betrieb ist bekannt und wird daher nicht beschrieben. Ihr Antrieb als auch der der anderen Druckwerkzylinder erfolgt in bekannter Weise mittels eines Zahnradzugs, der den Antrieb von dem hauptangetriebenen Druckwerkzylinder 20 ableitet.The individual printing units 1 to 6 have numerous common ones Facilities, such as inking and dampening, their operation is known and is therefore not described. Your drive as well as that of the others Printing unit cylinder takes place in a known manner by means of a Gear train that drives the main driven Printing unit cylinder 20 derives.

Die Wellen 21, 22, 23, 24 haben die Funktion von Synchronwellen. Alle Wellen 21, 22, 23, 24 sind in der dargetellten Weise mittels pneumatisch oder elektromechanisch betätigbaren Kupplungen 61 bis 65 zwischen den einzelnen Druckeinheiten 1 bis 6 teilbar.

All shafts 21, 22, 23, 24 are in the manner shown by means of pneumatically or electromechanically actuated clutches 61 to 65 divisible between the individual printing units 1 to 6.

Dieser so gestaltete, synchronisierbare Antrieb gestattet eine Zurichtung und registerhaltige Positionierung jeder beliebigen Druckeinheit 1 bis 6, unabhängig vom übrigen Maschinenverbund, ohne die Synchronisationsverbindung z.B. zum Falzapparat 7 zu unterbrechen.This so designed, synchronizable drive allows one Alignment and positional positioning of any Printing unit 1 to 6, independent of the rest of the machine network, without the synchronization connection e.g. to folder 7 too interrupt.

Fig. 2 zeigt eine Variante der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 1. Die Maschine wird mit einem weiteren Falzapparat 37 und einer weiteren horizontalen Synchronwelle 38 für die Druckeinheiten 4, 5, 6 in der zweiten Etage ausgestattet. Diese Horizontalwelle 38 ist in Teilstücke 39 bis 41, die jeweils eine Druckeinheit 4, 5, 6 mit ihrer benachbarten verbindet, unterteilt. Die Teilstücke 39, 40, 41 sind in den Kraftabgriffseinheiten 17, 18, 19, die als Kegelradgetriebe ausgebildet sind, in bekannter Weise miteinander verbindbar. Die Horizontalwelle 38 ist nochmals zwischen den Druckeinheiten 4, 5, 6 mittels pneumatisch oder elektromechanisch betätigbarer Kupplungen 66, 67 teilbar und weist an diesen Stellen Zwischengetriebe 42, 43 in Form von Kegelradgetrieben auf, die die Aufgabe haben, den Drehsinn innerhalb eines Teilstückes 39, 40 der Welle 38 zu ändern. FIG. 2 shows a variant of the embodiment according to FIG. 1. The The machine is equipped with a further folder 37 and another horizontal synchronous shaft 38 for the printing units 4, 5, 6 in the second floor.

Diese weitergebildete Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Antriebs ermöglicht ein Vertikalspliting, also eine diagonale Papierführung zwischen den Druckeinheiten 1 bis 6 der Druckmaschine in Etagenbauweise gleichzeitig zu den beiden Falzapparaten 7, 37 hin, wie es in Fig. 3 und 4 gezeigt ist. In Fig. 3 läuft eine erste Papierbahn 68 zur Druckeinheit 1, von dort über die Druckeinheit 4 zum Falzapparat 37. Eine zweite Papierbahn 69 läuft zur gleichen Zeit direckt zur Druckeinheit 5, von dort zum Falzapparat 37. Eine weitere Papierbahn 70 läuft diagonal von Druckeinheit 2 über Druckeinheit 6 zum Falzapparat 37, während eine Papierbahn 71 in üblicher Weise über die Druckeinheit 3 zum Falzapparat 7 läuft.This further developed embodiment of the drive according to the invention enables vertical splitting, i.e. diagonal paper guidance between printing units 1 to 6 of the printing press in Multi-level construction simultaneously towards the two folders 7, 37, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. A first is running in FIG Paper web 68 to printing unit 1, from there via printing unit 4 to the folder 37. A second paper web 69 runs at the same Time goes directly to printing unit 5, from there to folder 37. Another paper web 70 runs diagonally from printing unit 2 Printing unit 6 to the folder 37, while a paper web 71 in usually runs over the printing unit 3 to the folder 7.
