Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lubrication-free transfer drum for sheet-fed rotary printing presses, in which blow holes are provided in the drum shell over the entire sheet-bearing drum circumference.
  • a device of this type is described in DE-PS 1 561 043, according to which, in the case of a delivery drum for sheet-fed printing machines, the sheets are pushed away by air streams emerging from openings arranged on the circumference of the drum, the drum as a whole with a cover made of known material to distribute the emerging air more uniformly , porous and air-permeable material.
  • the control of the air outlet from the individual openings requires an air control device inside the delivery drum which is very complex both in terms of construction and in terms of cost, the partial or temporal air control in particular causing great problems precisely at the points of the freshly printed sheet which are prone to smearing. Apart from this, there is always a great need for blowing air, which requires an unnecessarily large design of the units for blowing air generation. Even the smallest damage and contamination of the porous drum cover require its costly and time-consuming replacement.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a maintenance-friendly transfer drum, in which reliably without a time-consuming settings and without considerable control engineering effort evenly over the entire drum circumference with a low blowing air requirement Lubricate freshly printed sheets by building an air cushion that is as free of turbulence and impulses as possible.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in that in the blow holes of the drum shell the blown air to build up a uniform air cushion has flow-influencing air distribution elements which are made of air-permeable, elastic and slightly compressible material of low specific gravity.
  • the structural distribution of a large number of individual air distribution elements over the entire drum circumference enables particularly safe, quiet and smear-free sheet transport. Because the choice of material and the shape of the individual arch supports make it very easy to empirically determine the flow conditions required to build up a closed, turbulence-free and pulse-jet-free air cushion, thereby also changing conditions in the printing process as quickly as possible, e.g. Processing of a different paper thickness, which can be taken into account, optimization of a particularly stable sheet transport is possible. Due to the easy interchangeability of individual, e.g. dirty air distribution elements also ensure the greatest possible degree of ease of maintenance and thus operational safety of the transfer drum.
  • the air distribution elements are made of chemically consolidated fleece and / or crimped chemical fibers.
  • the air distribution elements can easily be punched out of fleece or fiber mats in large quantities, so that their manufacturing costs are insignificant in relation to the rest of the transfer drum.
  • the fine structuring of the hair network of the fleece or chemical fibers has the effect of a multitude of air channels and thus causes a reduction in pressure and very effective atomization of the blown air diffusely in all directions, which ensures a particularly smooth sheet transport with optimal support of the sheet despite minimal contact with the sheet.
  • a preferred further development of the invention consists in that the air distribution elements are made of a two-composite plastic, the lower area consisting of reversibly deformable foam and the upper area made of chemically bonded fleece or crimped chemical fibers.
  • This has the advantage that a large number of commercially available foam sponges and mats, such as those e.g. can be used for industrial or household cleaning purposes, can be used to manufacture the air distribution elements. While the great elasticity of the foam gives the air distribution elements a very secure frictional fit in the blowholes, the bow is evenly supported by a large number of individual fleece hairs or fiber ends with minimal surface contact in primarily punctiform contact zones.
  • the diameter of the air distribution elements is so much larger than that of the blow holes that the air distribution elements are held in their inserted state by their elastic tension.
  • the air distribution elements are provided at least at one end with a support collar with which they are supported at least on the inner edge of the drum in the inserted state.
  • the seat of the air distribution elements in the drum shell can be made even more secure by form-fitting support in order to counteract centrifugal forces acting on the air distribution elements on the one hand or pressure loads or tensile forces caused by the arc on the other hand.
  • the air adjustment elements protrude as far as possible to the drum surface.
  • the blow holes 4 are designed as through holes and are preferably distributed in a uniform structure in the drum jacket 17.
  • air distribution elements 7 are arranged, which are made of an air-permeable, elastic and easily compressible material with a low specific weight, preferably stamped.
  • a chemically consolidated textile or plastic fleece is used for the production or a network of crimped man-made fibers. It has proven to be advantageous to produce the air distribution elements 7, as shown in FIG. 8, from a two-composite material, the lower area facing the inside of the drum made of the largest possible porous and reversibly deformable foam and the upper area facing the drum surface made of one of the previously mentioned materials.
  • Such two-composite materials are known in the form of sponges and mats for industrial and household cleaning purposes.
  • a material for their production which also has hydrophilic surface properties.
  • the air distribution elements 7 have a firm fit in the drum jacket 17, their diameter 28 is significantly larger than the diameter 29 of the blow holes 4 (FIG. 3). Due to their high compressibility, the air distribution elements 7 can be easily inserted into the blowholes 4 by simply compressing them, in which they are then held primarily non-positively by their elastic tension.
  • blow holes 4 are made as rough rough bores in the drum jacket 17.
  • the network of nonwoven fabric or chemical fibers with a multitude of smallest fiber parts can thus cling to the coarse inner surface of the blow holes 4 and thereby give the air distribution elements 7 an even more secure hold in the drum jacket 17 by means of form-fitting support.
  • the savings in cost-intensive fine work processes also reduce the production costs reduced to a minimum.
  • an additional form-fitting support for their tight fit in the drum jacket 17 can be provided.
  • the air distribution elements are provided for this purpose at their end facing the inside of the drum with a support collar 30, which rests in the inserted state of the air distribution elements 7 on the inner edge of the drum and thus, for example, those acting on the air distribution elements 7 when the transfer drum rotates Can counteract centrifugal forces.
  • the same configuration can also be carried out in the opposite manner exclusively at the end of the air distribution elements 7 facing the drum surface in order to counteract excessive pressure load or tensile force of the sheet to be transported, for example when the sheet is being removed from the transfer drum 1. It is equally possible to provide the air distribution elements 7 - as shown in FIG. 6 - with support collars 30 at both ends.
  • the inner support collar 30 or similar support measures proves to be an indispensable prerequisite for a firm fit of the air distribution elements 7 in the drum jacket 17.
  • the air distribution elements 7 are flush with the cylinder surface (FIGS. 3 and 8). Nevertheless, the dimensional accuracy of the air distribution elements 7 is of secondary importance in the production, since their ends of the air distribution elements 7, which protrude beyond the drum surface, can be directly adapted to the curvature of the drum surface by "shaving".
  • the air distribution elements 7 can be designed as arch supports and expediently protrude by a defined amount over the drum surface, since in this case their surface has an anti-smudge effect (FIG. 5). If no direct contact between the sheet to be transported and the surface of the air distribution elements 7 is desired, their length can be smaller than the thickness of the drum shell 17, so that they still close within the blow holes 4 and not reach to the drum surface (Fig. 4).
  • a roller core 14 is mounted, which is provided at the end with a core bore 15.
  • an end disk 16 is fastened on the roller core 14, to which a drum jacket 17, preferably manufactured as a casting, is flanged in a known manner.
  • the end disk 14 is provided with an annular groove 18, which is connected to the core bore 15 of the roller core 14 via a blind bore 19.
  • the core hole 15 is coupled to an air blowing unit 22 by means of an air coupling 20 via line means 21.
  • the air coupling 20 is indicated schematically in FIG.
  • the blown air generated by the blown air unit 22 can thus flow via the line means 21, the air coupling 20, the core hole 15, the blind hole 19 and the annular groove 18 into the interior of the transfer drum 1 or its individual drum chambers 9.
  • a freshly printed sheet 27 is taken over by the sheet detection devices 2 and 3 in such a way - for example after a sheet turning in perfecting machines - that its still damp side is directed downwards against the drum surface.
  • the sheet 27 does not come to rest directly on the drum surface, but instead is supported and carried evenly over its entire area by the air cushion emerging from the air distributors 7, so that everyone is direct Contact between still damp ink and drum surface is excluded. If, contrary to expectations, there is a slight contact, the ink-repellent surface design or material properties of the arch support 7 also make it difficult to transfer color from the arch 27 to the arch support 7.
