Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sheet guiding device in the delivery area of a sheet printing machine.
  • the closed sheet guiding surface enables an air cushion to be built up between the sheet guiding surface and the paper sheets drawn over it, which also proves to be advantageous in the perfecting due to the resulting avoidance of smearing of the printed sheet side facing the sheet guiding surface.
  • the negative sides of a closed sheet guide surface predominate.
  • the air cushion can cause the paper sheets to flutter. At high speeds, this leads to noise and uneasy sheet guidance.
  • the sheet guide surface in the delivery area from sheet guide plates provided with through-holes, through which the air cushion which has accumulated between the sheet guide surface and the paper sheets drawn over it can escape.
  • a secure, flutter-free sheet guide can be carried out in straight printing, which can be improved by additional suction.
  • the safe sheet guidance on the sheet guide plate leads to smearing effects on the printed paper sheet side facing the sheet guide surface.
  • Such a sheet guide surface is known for example from DE-PS 34 11 029. This sheet guiding surface tries to counteract the smear effects by reversing the suction in a bubble directed towards the paper sheet in face and back printing. In order to achieve the desired effect, complex, precise control of a reversible suction and blown air supply is required.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a sheet guiding device in the delivery area of a sheet-fed printing machine, in which the advantages of a closed sheet guiding surface for perfecting are combined with the advantages of an opening-provided sheet guiding surface for straight printing using simple means.
  • the sheet guiding device enables the desired advantage of a safe, quiet sheet guiding of a closed sheet guiding surface in the face printing and the desired smear-free sheet guiding to be achieved an arch guiding surface with openings in face and reverse printing.
  • the desired advantages can be achieved in both types of printing with simple means and without complex regulation.
  • the inventive design of the sheet guiding device according to the features of claim 2 makes it possible to switch from a stationary attached sheet guiding surface with simple means the desired sheet guiding surface to the printing operation in the other type of printing or back to the original sheet guiding surface.
  • the embodiment according to the features of claim 3 enables a particularly simple and inexpensive design with a commercially available perforated plate with little installation effort.
  • the sheet guiding device according to the invention has the one-piece design of the cover, making it particularly easy to change the sheet-guiding surfaces without further effort to ensure a smooth, shock-free sheet-guiding surface in face and back printing.
  • a closed covering surface made of a film material enables a particularly simple changeover by covering and re-covering the hole openings with the sheet-guiding surface almost unchanged in height with respect to the sheets being guided over it.
  • the low film weight and volume are user-friendly and easy to store with the sheet-guiding surface covered
  • Fig. 1 shows the delivery area 1 of a sheet-fed rotary printing press, in which paper sheets 4 are pulled away from a last printing unit 5 via a sheet guide surface designed as a commercially available perforated plate 9 with the aid of gripper bars 3, which are attached to rotating chains 2.
  • the perforated plate 9 with the perforated openings 14 are arranged downstream of the brake rollers 8, to which the sheets 4 are directly by means of the brake rollers 8 upstream bow guide bow blowers 7 are brought into safe operative contact.
  • the paper sheets 4 are braked by the brake rollers 8 and placed downstream of the brake rollers 8 on a stack 6 in the sheet conveying direction.
  • the perforated plate 9 is fastened in the side parts 15 and 16 of the boom.
  • a film winding roll 11 is arranged upstream of the perforated plate 9 in the conveying direction and the band winding roll 10 is arranged downstream of the perforated plate 9.
  • the film winding roll 11 As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the film winding roll 11, the axis of which extends transversely to the sheet conveying direction, is rotatably supported by means of bearing pins 17 in the side parts 15 and 16, of which only the side part 16 is shown in FIG. 5 .
  • a band-shaped film 12 made of metal or plastic is aligned symmetrically to the center line of the perforated plate 9 with one end attached to the film winding roll 11.
  • the film width is dimensioned smaller than the distance between the two side parts 15, 16 to one another, but larger than the maximum permissible width of the paper sheets.
  • a holding strip 18, which is oriented transversely to the sheet conveying direction and extends across the width of the film 12, is fastened.
  • a drawstring 19 is articulated on each of the two outer end regions of the holding strip 18 pointing towards the side parts 15 and 16.
  • the drawstrings 19 are guided parallel to one another at the same lateral distance from the center of the perforated plate 9 over the outer edge regions of the perforated plate 9 in the conveying direction. With their ends pointing away from the holding strip 18, they are fastened to the tape winding rollers 10, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.
  • the tape winding rolls 10 of the same diameter are rotatably supported in the side frames 15, 16 via their concentric axis 20.
  • a handwheel 21 is attached to the side extension 15 extending the shaft 20.
  • the tapes 13 can be wound onto the tape winding rolls 10, forcing them to pull the film 12 onto the perforated plate and in the conveying direction over it.
  • the film 12 is held with the help of a spiral spring 22, which is supported with one end on the bearing pin 17 and with its other end on the spring bearing pin 23 and counteracts the pulling direction of the strips 13 over the perforated plate.
  • a locking lever 24 With the help of a locking lever 24, the axis 20 and thus the film 12 can be locked in cooperation with the resetting coil spring 17 in a desired position covering the perforated openings 14 of the perforated plate 9 in the sheet conveying direction.
  • the film 12 is drawn over the perforated plate to such an extent that it completely covers the perforated openings 9 and the holding strip 18 is located under the sheet guide bow blowers 7, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the shaft 20 is locked in this position.
  • the conveyed paper sheets are thus guided over a closed, smooth surface over which an air cushion forms when the paper sheets 4 are guided away, as a result of which the contact of the printed side of the paper sheets 4 pointing to the film 12 does not touch the film 12 and thus prevents smudging of these pages .
  • the locking lever 24 is released for the straight printing.
  • the restoring force of the spring 17 causes the film 12 to be wound onto the film winding roll 11.
  • the holding strip 18 is pulled over the perforated plate 9 in the counter-conveying direction of the paper sheets 4, unwinding the drawstrings 19 from the tape winding rolls 10 until it dips under the sheet-guiding surface .
  • the shaft 20 locked again with the locking lever 24.
  • the paper sheets then conveyed are conveyed directly over the perforated plate without touching the elevator belts 13 between them.
  • the air cushion building up between paper sheet 4 and perforated plate 9 can escape through the perforated openings 14 of the perforated plate 9.
  • the conveyed sheets of paper 4 are conveyed with their end opposite the gripper 3 securely resting on the perforated plate 9 without fluttering and with little noise.
