Wie aus Figur 2 zu ersehen, besteht die Reinigungsvorrichtung 7 aus einem Grundkörper 8 mit Aufnahmeelementen 9 zur Befestigung an dem Greiferwagen 3 oder der Kette des Kettenfördersystems 2. An dem Grundkörper 8 ist ein Waschbalken 10 um eine zum Greiferwagen 3 parallele Achse 11 schwenkbar gelagert. Der Waschbalken 10 trägt eine parallel zur Achse 11 angeordnete Waschwalze 12, die in Lagern 13 drehbar gelagert ist. Die zylindrische Oberfläche der Waschwalze 12 wird von einer Bürste oder einem Tuchmaterial gebildet. Zum Antrieb ist die Welle 14 der Waschwalze 12 über ein Stirnradgetriebe 15 mit einem Reibrad 16 verbunden. Stirnradgetriebe 15 und Reibrad 16 sind ebenfalls an dem Waschbalken 10 angeordnet. Der Waschbalken 10 ist außerdem über eine Einstellvorrichtung 17 an dem Grundkörper 8 abgestützt. Die Einstellvorrichtung 17 weist eine Feder auf, deren Federkraft einstellbar ist und die in der Einbaulage der Reinigungsvorrichtung 7 die Waschwalze 12 an die Leitfläche 6 der Bogenleiteinrichtung 5 andrückt. Durch Verstellen der Federkraft kann der Anpreßdruck der Waschwalze 12 variiert werden. In den Betriebsphasen, in denen die Reinigungsvorrichtung 7 nicht benötigt wird, z.B. während des Druckbetriebs, befindet sich die Waschwalze 12 in einer Kassette 18. Die Waschwalze 12 wird dort mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit 19 getränkt und nach einem Reinigungsvorgang wieder gereinigt.As can be seen from Figure 2, there is the cleaning device 7 from a base body 8 with receiving elements 9 for Attachment to the gripper carriage 3 or the chain of the chain conveyor system 2. On the base body 8 is a wash bar 10 about an axis 11 parallel to the gripper carriage 3 pivoted. The wash bar 10 carries one in parallel Wash roller 12 arranged to axis 11, which in bearings 13th is rotatably mounted. The cylindrical surface of the Wash roller 12 is made of a brush or a cloth material educated. The shaft 14 of the washing roller 12 is for driving connected to a friction wheel 16 via a spur gear 15. Helical gear 15 and friction wheel 16 are also on the wash bar 10 arranged. The wash bar 10 is also via an adjusting device 17 on the base body 8 supported. The adjusting device 17 has one Spring whose spring force is adjustable and which in the Installation position of the cleaning device 7 on the washing roller 12 the guide surface 6 of the sheet guide device 5 presses. By Adjusting the spring force can be the contact pressure Wash roller 12 can be varied. In the operating phases, in which the cleaning device 7 is not needed, e.g. during the printing operation, the washing roller 12 is located in a cassette 18. The washing roller 12 is there with cleaning liquid 19 soaked and after a cleaning process cleaned again.

Zum Reinigen der Leitfläche 6 der Bogenleiteinrichtung 5 wählt die Bedienungsperson am Leitstand der Druckmaschine oder an anderen Bedienelementen die hierfür vorgesehene Betriebsweise der Druckmaschine an. Die Druckmaschine fährt daraufhin in eine definierte Position, in der es der Bedienungsperson, z.B. über einen Durchbruch in der Seitenwand des Auslegers 1, leicht möglich ist, die Reinigungsvorrichtung 7 an dem Greiferwagen 3 einzuhängen und zu befestigen. Um das Einhängen zu erleichtern, können an dem Ausleger Hilfsvorrichtungen oder Einführhilfen vorgesehen sein. Nach dem Einhängen und Befestigen der Reinigungsvorrichtung 7 wird die mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit getränkte Waschwalze 12 mit Hilfe der Einstellvorrichtung 17 in ihrem Abstand zur Leitfläche 6 der Bogenleiteinrichtung 5 so eingestellt, daß sie mit geeignetem Anpreßdruck an die Leitfläche 6 angedrückt wird. Zur Durchführung der Reinigung wird wiederum am Leitstand oder über entsprechende Bedienelemente die für die Reinigung vorgesehene Betriebsweise gestartet. Hierbei läuft das Kettenfördersystem 2 nicht komplett um, sondern es führt eine hin- und hergehende Bewegung aus, die so bemessen ist, daß die Waschwalze 12 die Strecke der Bogenleiteinrichtung 5 zwischen den Wendepunkten A, B einmal oder mehrmals abfährt. Die Dauer dieses Reinigungsvorgangs wird dabei durch den Verschmutzungsgrad der Bogenleiteinrichtung 5 bestimmt. Bei der Bewegung der Reinigungsvorrichtung 7 rollt das Reibrad 16 an einer Bahn des Kettenfördersystems 2 ab, wodurch die Waschwalze 12 angetrieben wird.To clean the guide surface 6 of the sheet guide device 5 selects the operator at the control center of the printing press or on other controls the intended one Operating mode of the printing press. The printing press runs then in a defined position in which the operator, e.g. about a breakthrough in the side wall of the boom 1, the cleaning device is easily possible 7 hang on the gripper carriage 3 and fasten. To make hanging easier, you can use the bracket Auxiliary devices or insertion aids may be provided. To hanging and fastening the cleaning device 7 the washing roller 12 soaked with cleaning liquid with the help of the adjusting device 17 in its distance to Guide surface 6 of the sheet guide 5 set so that they are pressed onto the guide surface 6 with a suitable contact pressure becomes. To carry out the cleaning in turn at the control center or via appropriate controls for the cleaning mode of operation started. in this connection the chain conveyor system 2 does not run completely, but instead it does a back and forth movement that way is dimensioned that the washing roller 12 the distance of the sheet guide 5 between the turning points A, B once or leaves several times. The duration of this cleaning process is determined by the degree of contamination of the sheet guiding device 5 determined. When moving the cleaning device 7 the friction wheel 16 rolls on a track of the chain conveyor system 2, whereby the washing roller 12 is driven becomes.

Nach Beendigung der Reinigung fährt das Kettenfördersystem 2 wieder in die Ein- und Ausbauposition zurück.
