Gebiet der ErfindungField of the invention

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lagerung der Hauptzylinder von Druckmaschinen, wie beispielsweise Plattenzylinder, Gummizylinder, Rasterzylinder, Gegendruckzylinder und papierführende Übergabezylinder von Rotations- und Bogendruckmaschinen, mittels in Maschinengestellbohrungen drehbar gelagerten Exzenterringpaaren zur radialen Abstützung sowie zum An- und Abstellen der Zylinder, sowie mittels jeweils einer Schräg- oder Axiallageranordnung zur axialen Führung, die einerseits an einem von zwei Wellenzapfen des Hauptzylinders gelagert und andererseits über Verbindungselemente an einem der Exzenterringe des Exzenterringpaares befestigt sind, wobei der Exzenterring, an dem die Schräg- oder Axiallageranordnung über die Verbindungselemente befestigt ist, in seiner Maschinengestellbohrung axial im Wesentlichen spielfrei geführt ist.The invention relates to a storage of the master cylinder of printing presses, such as plate cylinder, blanket cylinder, raster cylinder, impression cylinder and paper-leading transfer cylinder of rotary and sheet-fed presses, by means rotatably mounted in machine frame bores Exzenterringpaaren for radial support and for turning on and off the cylinder, and by means of one Angular or thrust bearing assembly for axial guidance, which are mounted on the one hand to one of two shaft journals of the master cylinder and on the other hand fastened via connecting elements on one of the eccentric rings of the Exzenterringpaares, wherein the eccentric ring on which the oblique or thrust bearing assembly is attached via the connecting elements, in its Machine frame bore axially guided substantially free of play.

Hintergrund der ErfindungBackground of the invention

Eine Lagerung eines Gummizylinders einer Bogen-Offset-Druckmaschine dieser Art ist in der Firmendruckschrift der FAG OEM und Handel AG mit dem Titel "Die Gestaltung von Wälzlagerungen", Publ.-Nr. WL 00 200/5 DA, unter Ziffer 114 beschrieben. Es handelt sich um eine Dreiring-Exzenter-Lagereinheit, die auf einem Zylinderrollenlager, welches man als reibungsarmes Genauigkeitslager aus dem Werkzeugmaschinenbau kennt, und einem zweireihigen Nadellager, das den Exzenterring führt, basiert. Die axiale Führung des Gummizylinders übernehmen Schrägkugellager oder auch ein Axiallager. Das Schrägkugellager ist in einer Lagerplatte angeordnet und über einen Adapter am Zylinderzapfen angebunden. Eine Flanschplatte wird mittels Spannpratzen am Maschinengestell festgelegt, die eine radiale Verschiebung zu lassen, wenn der Exzenterring mit der Flanschplatte gedreht wird, um An- und Abschaltvorgänge, sowie einen Ausgleich bei unterschiedlichen Papierdicken oder Schräganstellungen vorzunehmen.A storage of a blanket cylinder of a sheet-fed offset printing press of this type is described in the company publication of FAG OEM and Handel AG entitled "The Design of Rolling Bearings", Publ. WL 00 200/5 DA, described in paragraph 114. It is a three-ring eccentric bearing unit, which is based on a cylindrical roller bearing, which is known as a low-friction precision bearing from the machine tool industry, and a double-row needle bearing that guides the eccentric. The axial guidance of the blanket cylinder take angular contact ball bearings or a thrust bearing. The angular contact ball bearing is arranged in a bearing plate and connected via an adapter on the cylinder pin. A flange plate is clamped on the machine frame set to leave a radial displacement, when the eccentric ring is rotated with the flange plate to make on and off operations, as well as a compensation for different paper thicknesses or Schräganstellungen.

Zwar erfüllt diese bekannte Lagerung den angestrebten Zweck, die vorerwähnten Funktionen zu verwirklichen, jedoch ist die Konstruktion der Spannpratzen nicht sehr kostengünstig, erfordert zeitaufwendige Einstellarbeiten und führt zu Problemen durch thermische Verspannung in der Gleitpaarung zwischen der Flanschplatte und den Spannpratzen.Although this known storage fulfills the intended purpose to realize the aforementioned functions, however, the construction of the clamping claws is not very inexpensive, requires time-consuming adjustments and leads to problems due to thermal stress in the sliding between the flange plate and the clamping claws.

Aufgabe der ErfindungObject of the invention

Vor diesem Hintergrund liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Axiallagerung für Hauptzylinder von Druckmaschinen der eingangs erwähnten Art vorzuschlagen, die sich kostengünstig herstellen lässt, robust und montagefreundlich ist sowie thermische Verspannungen im Bereich der Axiallagerung vermeidet.Against this background, the present invention seeks to propose a thrust bearing for master cylinder printing presses of the type mentioned, which can be produced inexpensively, is robust and easy to install and thermal stresses in the field of axial bearing avoids.

Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention

Ausgehend von dieser Aufgabenstellung besteht die erfindungsgmäße Lösung bei einer Lagerung der Hauptzylinder von Druckmaschinen der eingangs erwähnten Art darin, dass für die axiale Führung des Zylinders Laufrollen vorgesehen sind, die gegen entsprechende Radiallaufbahnen axial anstellbar sind, wobei die Radiallaufbahnen entweder an einem maschinengestellfesten Führungselement vorhanden sind, oder die Radiallaufbahnen an einem Exzenterring sowie an einem an dem Exzenterring befestigten Verbindungselement ausgebildet sind.Based on this task, the erfindungsgmäße solution in storage of the master cylinder of printing machines of the type mentioned in that for the axial guidance of the cylinder rollers are provided which are axially adjustable against corresponding radial raceways, the radial tracks are either present on a machine frame fixed guide element , or the radial raceways are formed on an eccentric ring and on a fastener attached to the eccentric ring.

Die axial anstellbaren Laufrollen gewährleisten, dass die axiale Führung des Zylinders spielfrei und reibungsarm erfolgt, da zur axialen Führung des Zylinders nur die Rollreibung zwischen den Radiallaufbahnen und den anstellbaren Laufrollen auftritt. Anstellbare Laufrollen sind ein übliches Maschinenbauelement und stehen kostengünstig zur Verfügung, erfordern keine zeitaufwendigen Abstimmarbeiten, wie dies bei Gleitpaarungen erforderlich ist, und lassen sich Platz sparend in die Lagerung des Zylinders integrieren.The axially adjustable rollers ensure that the axial guidance of the cylinder is free of play and low friction, since only the rolling friction between the radial raceways and the adjustable rollers occurs for the axial guidance of the cylinder. Adjustable rollers are a common machine component and are available at low cost, require no time-consuming tuning work, as is required for sliding mating, and can be integrated to save space in the storage of the cylinder.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass wenigstens ein axial anstellbares Laufrollenpaar mit radialen Drehachsen an dem Verbindungselement eines Exzenterrings angeordnet ist, und dass das maschinengestellfeste Führungselement mit beiderseitigen radialen Laufbahnen zwischen das wenigstens eine Laufrollenpaar ragt, gegen die das jeweilige Laufrollenpaar anstellbar ist.According to one embodiment, it can be provided that at least one pair of axially adjustable rollers with radial axes of rotation is arranged on the connecting element of an eccentric ring, and that the machine-frame-fixed guide element protrudes with mutual radial tracks between the at least one pair of rollers, against which the respective pair of rollers can be adjusted.

Vorzugsweise kann hierbei ein axialer Ansatz am Exzenterring befestigt und Teil des Verbindungselements für die Schräg- oder Axiallageranordnung sein. Der axiale Ansatz am Exzenterring kann vorteilhaft im Bereich seiner größten Exzentrizität angeordnet sein.Preferably, in this case an axial projection attached to the eccentric ring and be part of the connecting element for the oblique or thrust bearing assembly. The axial extension on the eccentric ring can advantageously be arranged in the region of its greatest eccentricity.

Gemäß einer anderen Anführungsform kann ein umfangsbezogen gegeneinander versetztes, axial anstellbares Laufrollenpaar mit radialen Drehachsen in den Bereich des Exzenterrings ragen, deren Laufrollen gegen zwei einander zugewandte, radiale Laufbahnen am Exzenterring anstellbar sind.According to another embodiment, a circumferentially offset, axially engageable pair of rollers with radial axes of rotation protrude into the region of the eccentric ring, whose rollers against two mutually facing radial raceways on the eccentric are adjustable.

Bevorzugt kann dabei eine der radialen Laufbahnen durch eine radiale Seitenfläche des Exzenterrings gebildet sein, während die dieser Seitenfläche zugewandte zweite radiale Laufbahn an dem am Exzenterring befestigten Verbindungselement für die Schräg- oder Axiallageranordnung ausgebildet ist.In this case, one of the radial raceways may preferably be formed by a radial side surface of the eccentric ring, while the second radial raceway facing this side surface is formed on the connecting element fastened to the eccentric ring for the oblique or axial bearing arrangement.

Die spielfreie axiale Position des Zylinders lässt sich auf einfache Weise erreichen, wenn die Laufrollen auf Lagerzapfen drehbar gelagert sind und die Längsachsen der Lagerzapfen gegenüber den Achsen der Laufrollen desaxierbar sind. Dies kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Lagerzapfen der Laufrollen exzentrisch ausgeführt sind.The play-free axial position of the cylinder can be achieved in a simple manner when the rollers are rotatably mounted on bearing journals and the longitudinal axes of the bearing pins are imaxierbar with respect to the axes of the rollers. This can be achieved in that the bearing pins of the rollers are designed eccentrically.

Besonders bevorzugt ist die Lagerung in der Weise ausgeführt, dass jeder Exzenterring mittels eines mehrreihigen Nadellagers spielfrei in der Maschinengestellbohrung und mittels eines mehrreihigen, reibungsarmen Genauigkeits-Zylinderrollenlagers in NN-Ausführung auf einem Wellenzapfen des Zylinders gelagert ist, wobei der Außenring des mehrreihigen Nadellagers über eine zylindrische Buchse drehfest und axial unverschiebbar in der Maschinengestellbohrung angeordnet ist.Particularly preferably, the bearing is designed in such a way that each eccentric ring by means of a multi-row needle bearing play in the machine frame bore and by means of a multi-row, low-friction precision cylindrical roller bearing in NN design on a shaft journal of the cylinder is mounted, wherein the outer ring of the multi-row needle bearing over a cylindrical sleeve rotatably and axially immovably disposed in the machine frame bore.

Ein Exzenterring 5, der für die Funktionen An- und Abschaltvorgänge, den Ausgleich für unterschiedliche Papierdicken oder Schräganstellung des Zylinders 1 drehbar ist, ist mittels eines mehrreihigen Nadellagers 6 und einer zylindrischen Buchse 7 in einer Maschinengestellbohrung 4 in der Seitenwand 3 gelagert. Dabei bildet die Außenumfangsfläche des Exzenterrings 5 die innere Laufbahn und die radiale Innenfläche der zylindrischen Buchse 7 die äußere Laufbahn für die Wälzkörper des Nadellagers 6.In FIG. 1 is shown by a master cylinder 1 of a printing machine, only the end with a shaft journal 2 and its storage in a side wall 3 of a machine frame of a printing press. An eccentric ring 5, which is rotatable for the functions startup and shutdown operations, the compensation for different paper thicknesses or oblique position of the cylinder 1, is mounted in the side wall 3 in a machine frame bore 4 by means of a multi-row needle bearing 6 and a cylindrical bushing 7. In this case, the outer circumferential surface of the eccentric ring 5 forms the inner raceway and the radial inner surface of the cylindrical bushing 7, the outer raceway for the rolling elements of the needle bearing. 6

Die radiale innenfiäche des Exzenterrings 5 bildet die äußere Laufbahn für ein doppelreihiges Zylinderrollenlager 8. Das Zylinderrollenlager 8 umfasst einen Innenring 9, auf dessen Außenoberfläche Laufbahnen in bekannter Weise ausgebildet sind, auf denen die Laufrollen des Zylinderrollenlagers 8 abrollen. Dieser Innenring 9 ist mit einer konischen Bohrung versehen, die auf den entsprechend konisch ausgebildeten Wellenzapfen 2 aufgepresst ist. Hierzu wird ein zum Wellenzapfen 2 koaxialer Adapter 10 mit seinem axial vorstehenden Druckring 12 an die zylinderferne Stirnseite des Innenrings 9 angelegt und mittels Schrauben 13 axial an dem Wellenzapfen 2 festgeschraubt, wodurch der Innenring 9 des Zylinderrollenlagers 8 spielfrei am Wellenzapfen 2 festgelegt ist.The radial Innenfiäche of the eccentric ring 5 forms the outer raceway for a double row cylindrical roller bearing 8. The cylindrical roller bearing 8 comprises an inner ring 9, on the outer surface of raceways are formed in a known manner, on which roll the rollers of the cylindrical roller bearing 8. This inner ring 9 is provided with a conical bore which is pressed onto the corresponding conical shaft 2.

Der Adapter 10 ist an seinem vom Hauptzylinder 1 fernen Ende mit einem Lagerzapfen 11 versehen, der einen Innenring 16 eines doppelreihigen Schrägkugellagers 15 in O-Anordnung aufnimmt. Dieser Innenring 16 ist mittels einer Mutter 18 gegen einen Absatz 14 am Lagerzapfen 11 axial festgelegt, so dass im Zusammenwirken mit einem Außenring 17 des Schrägkugellagers 15 die axiale Spielfreiheit dieses Schrägkugellagers 15 gegeben ist. Der Außenring 17 des Schrägkugellagers 15 ist mittels Schrauben 19 an einem Verbindungselement 20 befestigt, das als Träger für den Außenring 17 des Schrägkugellagers 15 und für ein Laufrollenpaar 21, 21' dient. Dieses Verbindungselement 20 ist in nicht dargestellter Weise am Exzenterring 5 im Bereich seiner größten Exzentrizität mittels eines Ansatzes 30 befestigt.The adapter 10 is provided at its end remote from the master cylinder 1 with a bearing pin 11 which receives an inner ring 16 of a double row angular contact ball bearing 15 in O arrangement. This inner ring 16 is axially fixed by means of a nut 18 against a shoulder 14 on the bearing pin 11, so that in cooperation with an outer ring 17 of the angular contact ball bearing 15, the axial backlash of this angular contact ball bearing 15 is given.
