Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen einzeln angetriebenen Falzapparat für eine Rotationsdruckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to an individually driven folder for a rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei herkömmlichen Rotationsdruckmaschinen wird ein bzw. werden die Falzapparate von einem Hauptantrieb über eine Längswelle angetrieben und synchronisiert.In conventional rotary printing presses, a will the folders from a main drive via a longitudinal shaft driven and synchronized.

Ein Beispiel für einen bekannten Antrieb ist schematisch in Fig. 1 dargestellt. Hierbei erfolgt die Kopplung von der Längswelle 1.10 zu dem Falzapparat, umfassend einen Messerzylinder 2, einen Sammelzylinder 3 und einen Falzklappenzylinder 4, mechanisch über einen Längswellen-Getriebekasten 1, verschiedene Zahnstufen 1.20, eine Welle 1.23 auf ein mit einem Kegelrad 1.24 gekoppelten Zwischenrad 1.3 oder alternativ auf den mit einem Kegelrad 1.24 gekoppelten Messerzylinder 2. Die Zylinder 2, 3 und 4 sind untereinander mechanisch über Stirnzahnräder gekoppelt. Nachteilig ist hierbei, daß die Zylinder 2, 3 und 4 zueinander und gegenüber der Längswelle 1.10 im Bereich des Zahnspiels eine beliebige Lage einnehmen können. Ursächlich hierfür sind an den Zylindern wirksame Momente wie Kurvensteuerungen, Schnittschlag und dergleichen. Hierdurch nicht vermeidbare Unregelmäßigkeiten machen sich bei den Falztoleranzen bemerkbar.An example of a known drive is shown schematically in Fig. 1. Here, the coupling from the longitudinal shaft 1.10 to the Folding apparatus, comprising a knife cylinder 2, a collecting cylinder 3 and a jaw cylinder 4, mechanically a longitudinal shaft gear box 1, different tooth levels 1.20, a shaft 1.23 on a coupled with a bevel gear 1.24 Intermediate gear 1.3 or alternatively with a bevel gear 1.24 coupled knife cylinder 2. The cylinders 2, 3 and 4 are mechanically coupled with each other via spur gears. Disadvantageous is that the cylinders 2, 3 and 4 to each other and compared to the longitudinal shaft 1.10 in the tooth play area can take any position. This is due to the Cylinder effective moments such as cornering controls, cutting stroke and the same. Irregularities that cannot be avoided are noticeable in the folding tolerances.

Beispiele für den Antrieb des Falzapparats mittels Kopplung an die Längswelle der Druckmaschine sind aus der DE 41 27 321 A1, der DE 26 14 665 A1 und der US-PS 5 405 127 bekannt. Die DE 41 27 321 zeigt, dass ein an die Längswelle gekoppelter Falzapparat zusätzlich einen nur ihm zugeordneten Motor aufweisen kann.Examples for the drive of the folder by means of coupling to the longitudinal shaft of the printing press are from DE 41 27 321 A1, DE 26 14 665 A1 and US Pat. No. 5,405,127 known. DE 41 27 321 shows that one on the longitudinal shaft coupled folder additionally one only him may have associated motor.

Falzapparate, die von einem Antriebsmotor einzeln angetrieben werden, der mechanisch nur mit dem Falzapparat gekoppelt ist, sind aus der DE 20 46 131 A, der EP 0 567 741 A1, der GB 21 49 149 A, der nachveröffentlichten EP 0 699 524 A2 und ferner aus dem Artikel "Rotationsmaschinenantrieb ohne Längswelle - eine Wiederentdeckung von Hamada" in Zeitungstechnik Dezember 1991 Seiten 78-80 sowie dem Artikel "Color Management-Systeme, Computer-to-plate und wellenlos angetriebene Achtertürme: Highlights zur DRUPA 95?" von Boris Fuchs in Deutscher Drucker Nr. 14-15/13-4-95 Seiten w46 ff bekannt. Aus der letztgenannten Veröffentlichung und auch aus der EP 0 699 524 A2 geht die Zuordnung eines eigenen Motors für den Falzapparat und eines eigenen, anderen Motors für den Falzüberbau hervor.Folders, individually driven by a drive motor mechanically only with the folder are coupled from DE 20 46 131 A, EP 0 567 741 A1, GB 21 49 149 A, the subsequently published EP 0 699 524 A2 and further from the article "Rotationsmaschinenantrieb without longitudinal wave - a rediscovery of Hamada " in newspaper technology December 1991 pages 78-80 as well the article "Color Management Systems, Computer-to-plate and shaftless powered aft towers: highlights of the DRUPA 95? "By Boris Fuchs in German printer No. 14-15 / 13-4-95 Pages w46 ff known. From the latter Publication and also from EP 0 699 524 A2 Assignment of a separate motor for the folder and own, different motor for the rebate superstructure.

Die Erfindung hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, einen Falzapparat zu schaffen, bei dem die Registereinstellung bei gleichzeitiger Verhinderung, zumindest Verringerung des Zahnspiels der Zahnräder im Antriebsstrang des Falzapparats individuell für den Falzapparat vorgenommen werden kann. The invention has set itself the task of a folder to create, in which the register setting with simultaneous Prevention, at least reduction of the tooth play Gears in the drive train of the folder individually for the folder can be made.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch den Gegenstand von Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the subject matter of claim 1.

Ein Falzapparat einer Rotationsdruckmaschine mit wenigstens einem Falzklappenzylinder und einem Messerzylinder weist zum Einzelantrieb des Falzapparats einen Antriebsmotor auf, der mechanisch nur mit dem Falzapparat gekoppelt ist. Zahnspielproblemen muß hierdurch nur im Bereich des Falzapparats entgegengewirkt werden, während der Antriebsmotor für den Falzapparat zum Antrieb der weiteren Komponenten der Druckmaschine elektrisch synchronisiert wird. Der Einzelantrieb erlaubt es, den Falzapparat unabhängig von der Position der Druckwerke auf jede beliebige Falzposition zu drehen und dadurch das Schnittregister auf einfache Weise anzufahren. Dieser Vorteil ist besonders beim Papiereinzug in einen Back-up Falzapparat von Nutzen, da bei solch einem Back-up Falzapparat über eine als Referenz dienende Nullposition des Antriebs das Schnittregister angefahren werden kann. Durch die Erfindung werden die Falztoleranzen minimiert.A folder of a rotary printing press with at least one jaw cylinder and a knife cylinder has a drive motor for the individual drive of the folder on, which is mechanically coupled only to the folder is. As a result, tooth play problems only have to be in the area of the folder be counteracted while the drive motor for the folder for driving the other components of the printing press is electrically synchronized. The single drive allows the folder regardless of the position of the Rotate printing units to any folding position and thereby to move to the cutting register in a simple way. This This is particularly advantageous when feeding paper into a back-up folder useful because with such a back-up folder a zero position of the drive that serves as a reference Cutting register can be approached. By the invention the folding tolerances are minimized.

Desweiteren gestattet der erfindungsgemäße Falzapparat wegen der nicht mehr benötigten mechanischen Kopplung mit den Druckwerken die freie Anordnung des Falzapparats zu den Druckwerken und vorteilhafterweise auch zu einem Falzaufbau und einem Falzüberbau, ohne zusätzliche Kosten zu verursachen.Furthermore, the folder according to the invention allows for the mechanical coupling with the printing units that is no longer required the free arrangement of the folder to the printing units and advantageously also for a fold structure and a fold superstructure, without causing additional costs.

Da eine mechanische Verbindung zwischen dem Falzapparat und dem Falzaufbau bzw. dem Falzüberbau bevorzugterweise nicht besteht, ist auch die Freiheit in der Konfigurierung dieser drei Funktionsgruppen erhöht. So ist beispielsweise eine Zuordnung von lediglich einem Aufbau und einem Überbau zu zwei Falzapparaten möglich.Because a mechanical connection between the folder and the Fold structure or the fold superstructure preferably does not exist, is also the freedom to configure these three functional groups elevated. For example, an assignment of just a structure and a superstructure to two folders possible.

Erfindungsgemäß treibt ein Antriebsmotor über eine mechanische Kopplung, vorzugsweise ein motorseitiges Ritzel und ein zylinderseitiges Stirnrad, auf den Falzklappenzylinder. Hierdurch können hohe Übersetzungsverhältnisse einstufig und platzsparend verwirklicht werden. Durch den Wegfall eines Längswellen-Getriebekastens und sämtlicher Antriebskomponenten, wie Wellen und Zahnräder, einschließlich Zwischenrad, ergibt sich eine Kostenreduktion. Wegen seiner vergleichsweise großen Massenträgheit und kleinen Betriebsmomente wird in dieser Ausführungsvariante der Antrieb an einem besonders ruhigen Ort des Falzapparates angekoppelt. Der Bahnzug am Sammelzylinder, die Reibmomente der Zylinderlager, der Zugwalzenantrieb und der Schnittschlag bewirken ein Moment, das dem treibenden Motor entgegenwirkt. Hierdurch kann verhindert werden, daß durch die Regelung des Antriebsmotors ein Flankenwechsel im Antrieb vom motorseitigen Ritzel zum zylinderseitigen Stirnrad und zwischen den Zylinderstirnrädern der Zylinder des Falzapparats stattfindet. Ein weiterer Vorteil besteht darin, daß durch die Anordnung des Antriebs auf den Falzklappenzylinder und den stets gleichseitigen Zahnkontakt ein Wechsel zwischen treibendem und bremsendem Motorbetrieb verhindert wird, und der Motor nur im treibenden Bereich läuft. Solch ein Betriebswechsel würde anderfalls leicht zu Schäden im Antrieb des Falzapparats führen können. Beim Auftreten von impulsförmigen Betriebsmomenten, die zu störenden Flankenwechseln im Antrieb führen können, genügt es, durch ein zusätzliches Moment auf den Falzklappenzylinder den Zahnkontakt vor allem zwischen dem Ritzel und dem Stirnrad immer auf der gleichen Stelle zu halten. Solch ein Moment ist gegenüber dem Antriebsmoment vergleichsweise klein und kann beispielsweise durch eine elektrische Bremse oder eine Reibbremse eingebracht werden.According to the invention, a drive motor drives via a mechanical coupling, preferably a motor-side one Pinion and a cylindrical spur gear, on the jaw cylinder. This enables high gear ratios to be achieved in one stage and can be realized in a space-saving manner. By dropping out a longitudinal shaft gearbox and all drive components, like shafts and gears, including idler gear, there is a cost reduction. Because of its comparative large inertia and small operating moments is in this Design variant of the drive on a particularly quiet Coupled location of the folder. The train on the collecting cylinder, the friction moments of the cylinder bearings, the pull roller drive and the cutting blow create a moment that the driving Engine counteracts. This can prevent by controlling the drive motor an edge change in Drive from the engine-side pinion to the cylinder-side spur gear and between the cylinder spur gears the cylinder of the folder takes place. Another advantage is that the arrangement of the drive on the jaw cylinder and always equilateral tooth contact a change between driving and braking engine operation is prevented, and the engine only runs in the driving area. Such a change of company Otherwise it would easily damage the drive of the folder being able to lead. When pulsed operating moments occur, which can lead to disruptive edge changes in the drive, it is sufficient to apply an additional moment to the jaw cylinder the tooth contact especially between the pinion and the Always keep the spur gear in the same place. Such a Torque is comparatively small compared to the drive torque and can, for example, by an electric brake or Friction brake are introduced.

Es kann auf den Falzklappenzylinder auch über einen Zahnriemen getrieben werden. It can also be attached to the jaw cylinder using a toothed belt to be driven.

Das erforderliche Übersetzungsverhältnis vom Antriebsmotor auf das Zahnrad ist einstufig, so daß eine platzsparende Lösung geschaffen ist.The required gear ratio from the drive motor to the gear single stage, making a space-saving solution is created.

Falls ein erster und ein zweiter Falzapparat vorgesehen sind, werden folgende Aufstellvarianten bevorzugt:If a first and a second folder are provided, the following setup options are preferred:

Es können beide Falzapparate auf Anlagenebene plaziert werden, insbesondere als eine linke und eine rechte Falzapparateausführung in sogenannter Back-to-Back-Anordnung oder als Doppel-Falzapparat mit einer Auslage auf die gleiche Seite der Maschine. Die erstgenannte Möglichkeit baut besonders schmal mit dementsprechend kurzen Überführwegen für die Bahn. Die zweite Variante, d.h. der Doppel-Falzapparat, bietet den Vorteil, daß beide Auslagen sich auf einer Maschinenseite befinden und zwei identische Falzapparate verwendet werden können. Beide Aufstellvarianten ermöglichen die Bedienung auf einer Ebene.Both folders can be placed at plant level, especially as a left and right folder design in a so-called back-to-back arrangement or as a double folder with a delivery on the same side of the machine. The first option is particularly slim accordingly short transfer routes for the train. The second Variant, i.e. the double folder offers the advantage that both deliveries are on one machine side and two identical folders can be used. Both types of installation enable operation on one level.

Es kann auch ein erster Falzapparat auf Anlagenebene plaziert werden, während ein zweiter Falzapparat dazu versetzt im Maschinenkeller, d.h. auf Rollenwechslerebene, steht. Hierdurch werden kurze Bahnüberführwege und ein ungehinderter Zugang zu den Falzapparaten erzielt. Falls hierbei ein Falzaufbau und ein Falzüberbau auf dem Maschinentisch, d.h., auf der Anlagenebene, aufgestellt werden, ergibt sich eine geringe Bauhöhe.A first folder can also be placed at plant level while a second folder is added in the machine basement, i.e. at the role changer level. Hereby will have short rail crossings and unhindered access to the folder. If a fold structure and a Folded superstructure on the machine table, i.e. on the system level, are set up, there is a low overall height.

Es können schließlich auch beide Falzapparate im Keller aufgestellt sein, und zwar als Doppel-Falzapparat mit getrenntem und auf dem Maschinentisch gelagertem Aufbau und Überbau oder als Doppel-Falzapparat in einem gemeinsamen aufgesetzten Aufbau und Überbau. Beide Varianten zeichnen wegen der Anordnung im Maschinenkeller durch ihre geringe Bauhöhe über der Maschinenebene aus. Sie sind desweiteren, da auf einer Ebene angeordnet, besonders gut bedienbar.Finally, both folders can be set up in the basement be, and that as a double folder with separate and superstructure and superstructure stored on the machine table or as Double folder in a common superstructure and Superstructure. Both variants draw because of the arrangement in the machine cellar due to their low height above the machine level out. They are also arranged on one level, particularly easy to use.

In allen vorgenannten Ausführungsbeispielen können für mehrere Falzapparate mit Vorteil nur ein Aufbau und ein Überbau vorgesehen sein.In all of the above embodiments, several can Folders are advantageously provided with only one structure and one superstructure his.

In einer weiteren, mit den vorgenannten Ausführungsbeispielen vorteilhaft kombinierbaren Ausführungsform der Erfindung, ist der Falzapparat selbst verfahrbar. Werden der Falzaufbau und der Überbau auf ein Joch gestellt, so kann ein Back-up Falzapparat, falls ein solcher vorgesehen ist, bei Bedarf anstelle des Hauptfalzapparats eingeschoben werden. Hierbei wird, je nach dem welches Verschiebeverfahren verwendet wird, kein zusätzlicher Platz in der Anlage benötigt. Wird der Maschinentisch selbst als Jochkonstruktion verwendet, und werden die Falzapparate im Keller plaziert, so wird hierdurch auch noch eine geringe Bauhöhe erzielt.In another, with the aforementioned embodiments advantageous combinable embodiment of the invention the folder itself can be moved.

The mechanical coupling between the drive motor 10 and the The jaw cylinder 4 is driven by a pinion 10.1 and a cylinder-side spur gear 4.1 is formed.

In Fig. 3 ist eine Druckmaschine dargestellt, die ein Beispiel für den Gewinn an Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Aufstellmöglichkeiten des eigenangetriebenen Falzapparats ist. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein Falzapparat F1 im Maschinenkeller auf der gleichen Ebene wie Rollenwechsler R1, R2, R3 und R4 aufgestellt, während Druckwerke D1, D2 und D3 auf einer darüber liegenden Anlagenebene 100 in einer Flucht hintereinander stehen. Über dem Falzapparat F1 ist ein Falzaufbau 30, der auf einer oder mehreren Ebenen mindestens einen Trichter aufweist, angeordnet und auf dem Falzapparat gelagert. Die Falzüberbauteile 30, 40 sind zwischen den beiden Druckwerken D2 und D3 angeordnet, so daß die Bedruckbahnen von zwei Seiten einlaufen.In Fig. 3, a printing press is shown, which is an example for gaining flexibility in terms of installation options of the self-powered folder. In this An exemplary embodiment is a folder F1 in the machine basement on the same level as reel changers R1, R2, R3 and R4 set up, while printing units D1, D2 and D3 on one above horizontal plant level 100 are aligned one behind the other. Above the folder F1 is a folder assembly 30 that opens one or more levels has at least one funnel, arranged and stored on the folder. The rebate superstructures 30, 40 are between the two printing units D2 and D3 arranged so that the printing webs run in from two sides.

Neben diesem ersten Falzapparat F1 kann ein zweiter Falzapparat vorgesehen sein. Dieser zweite Falzapparat ist bevorzugterweise ebenfalls im Maschinenkeller oder aber auf der Anlagenebene 100, vorzugsweise in etwa fluchtend zum unteren Falzüberbau 30 angeordnet.In addition to this first folder F1, a second folder can be provided. This second folder is preferred also in the machine cellar or at the plant level 100, preferably approximately in alignment with the lower fold superstructure 30 arranged.

Die Bedruckbahnen können wahlweise einem der Falzapparate zugeführt werden. In dem Beispiel von Fig. 3 ist nur der im Maschinenkeller stehende Falzapparat F1 in Betrieb. Falls zwei Falzapparate vorgesehen sind, können einige der hinter den Druckwerken weiter geförderten Bedruckbahnen verschiedenen Trichterebenen des Falzaufbaus 30, wie gestrichelt beispielhaft dargestellt, zugeführt werden. Von einer oberen Trichterebene gelangen die längs gefalteten Bedruckbahnen dann zum zweiten Falzapparat, während die in einer unteren Trichterebene 30 gefalteten Bedruckbahnen weiterhin dem ersten Falzapparat F1 zugefördert werden.The printing webs can optionally be fed to one of the folders become. In the example of Fig. 3, only that is in the engine room standing folder F1 in operation. If two Folders are provided, some of which are behind the Printing units further promoted different printing webs Funnel levels of the fold structure 30, as an example with dashed lines shown, are fed. From an upper funnel level the longitudinally folded printing webs then reach the second Folder, while in a lower hopper level 30th folded printing webs continue to the first folder F1 be promoted.

Fig. 4 zeigt die Aufstellung des genannten zweiten Falzapparats F2 auf der Anlagenebene 100. Der erste Falzapparat F1 ist wiederum in Rollenwechslerebene, auf gleicher Ebene mit den nicht dargestellten Rollenwechslern plaziert, während der zweite Falzapparat F2 neben der Maschine zu einer Maschinenseite auslegend angeordnet ist. Der Falzaufbau 30 mit einer oder mehreren Trichterebenen ist auf dem Maschinentisch gelagert. Fig. 4 shows the installation of the second folder mentioned F2 at plant level 100. The first folder is again F1 at role changer level, on the same level as the not shown role changers placed while the second Laying out the F2 folder on one side of the machine next to the machine is arranged. The folding structure 30 with one or more Hopper levels are stored on the machine table.

Sowohl die Lagerung als auch der Antrieb des Falzaufbaus 30 erfolgt im Beispiel nach Figur 4 mechanisch unabhängig von dem Antrieb und der Lagerung der Falzapparate.Both the storage and the drive of the folding structure 30 in the example according to FIG. 4 takes place mechanically independently of the Drive and storage of the folders.

Fig. 5 zeigt zwei nebeneinander auf einer Ebene - auf dem Maschinentisch oder auf Rollenwechslerebene - angeordnete Falzapparate F1, F2. Nur der erste Falzapparat F1 ist in Betrieb, während der zweite Falzapparat als Back-up dient.Fig. 5 shows two side by side on one level - on the machine table or folders arranged at the roll changer level F1, F2. Only the first folder F1 is in operation, while the second folder serves as a back-up.

Die Zuführung der Bedruckbahn bzw. -bahnen zum Falzapparat F1 erfolgt wieder über einen auf einem Joch J aufgenommenen Falzaufbau 30. Das Joch J ist unabhängig von den Falzapparaten F1 und F2 gelagert, wodurch ein Austausch auch des ersten Falzapparats F1 gegen den Back-up Falzapparat F2 ermöglicht wird. Besonders einfach gestaltet sich der Ersatz des Falzapparates F1 gegen den Back-up Falzapparat F2, wenn die beiden Falzapparate verfahrbar sind (F1 → F1' bzw. F2 → F2').The feeding of the printing web or webs to the folder F1 takes place again via a fold structure taken up on a yoke J 30. The yoke J is independent of the folders F1 and F2 stored, whereby an exchange of the first folder F1 against the back-up folder F2 is made possible. The replacement of the folder is particularly easy F1 against the back-up folder F2 when the two folders can be moved (F1 → F1 'or F2 → F2').

In Fig. 6 ist ein weiteres, die Flexibilität hinsichtlich der Konfigurierbarkeit der Druckmaschine demonstrierendes Beispiel dargestellt. Die Druckmaschine weist sechs Druckwerke D1 bis D6 auf, wovon je drei Druckwerke in Bahnförderrichtung gesehen hintereinander angeordnet und zwei solcher Dreierreihen nebeneinander aufgestellt sind. Links und rechts des jeweils letzten Druckwerks D1 bzw. D4 der beiden Druckwerks-Dreierreihen sind Falzapparate F1, F2, F3 derart plaziert, daß einer der Falzapparate, F2, zwischen den beiden letzten Druckwerken D1 und D4 angeordnet ist, so daß Bedruckbahnen von diesen beiden Druckwerken dem mittig aufgestellten, in diesem Fall gemeinsamen Falzapparat F2 zuführbar sind. Die beiden weiteren Falzapparate F1 und F3 sind zu den noch freien Außenseiten jedes der Druckwerke D1 und D4 angeordnet.6 is another one, the flexibility in terms of Configurability of the press demonstrating example shown. The printing press has six printing units D1 to D6 on, of which three printing units each seen in the web conveying direction arranged one behind the other and two such rows of three next to each other are set up. Left and right of the last one Printing unit D1 or D4 of the two rows of printing units are Folders F1, F2, F3 placed such that one of the folders, F2, between the last two printing units D1 and D4 is arranged so that printing webs from these two printing units the one in the middle, in this case common Folder F2 can be fed. The two other folders F1 and F3 are to the free outer sides of each of the printing units D1 and D4 arranged.

Oberhalb jedes der Falzapparate F1, F2, F3 befindet sich ein zugeordneter Falzaufbau mit Falztrichter bzw. Falztrichtern, während oberhalb der beiden neben den Falzapparaten F1 und F3 stehenden letzten Druckwerken D1 und D4 die erforderlichen Umlenkwalzen und Wendestangen für die Zuführung der Bedruckbahenen angeordnet sind. Die Auslage der gefalzten Druckexemplare kann einheitlich in Maschinenlängsrichtung erfolgen. Sie kann aber auch, was wiederum die Flexibilität der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung demonstriert, im Falle der beiden äußeren Falzapparate F1 und F3 zu den Seiten erfolgen.Above each of the folders F1, F2, F3 is a assigned fold structure with formers or formers, while above the two next to the folders F1 and F3 standing last printing units D1 and D4 the required deflection rollers and turning bars for feeding the printing webs are arranged. The display of the folded printed copies can be done uniformly in the machine longitudinal direction. she can but also what, in turn, the flexibility of the invention Solution demonstrated in the case of the two outer folders F1 and F3 to the sides.
