Definitions

  • the invention relates to an inking unit for a printing press, in particular a sheet-fed offset printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the ink to be printed is fed to the printing plate, which is tensioned around a cylinder, by means of an ink fountain interacting with an ink fountain roller, together with a metering device (e.g. a large number of zone-wide ink metering elements), a lifting roller and a number of inking rollers.
  • a metering device e.g. a large number of zone-wide ink metering elements
  • One or more inking unit rollers usually the one following the lifting roller, the one assigned to the inking rollers and a medium inking unit roller - are designed as so-called friction rollers and perform axial traversing movements during printing.
  • the friction rollers in an inking unit of the present invention are mounted so that they can move axially back and forth via their journals in the frame walls of the printing press and are connected to a distribution drive.
  • the friction drive is, for example, a transmission which converts the rotary movement of a gear wheel rigidly connected to the plate cylinder via a crank mechanism whose stroke can be adjusted and via further linkages into a corresponding back and forth movement (EP 0 000 329 A1, DD-PS 113 718).
  • cam mechanisms DE 3 424 721 C2
  • gears with swash plates can also be provided.
  • the stroke as well as the point of use of a lateral rubbing generated in this way is determined by the Printer adjusted according to the subject of the printing plate (ink drop in printing direction).
  • the paper inlet into the machine must first be blocked in the event of a faulty sheet system and then the printing unit must be switched off after the sheet that has last properly entered the machine.
  • the inking rollers stored in the appropriate suspensions are switched off by the plate cylinder and the clocking movement of the lifting roller is interrupted. With such stoppers, the speed of rotation of the printing press can also be automatically reduced. Due to the large number of splitting processes, the lateral rubbing and the lack of ink supply / ink take-off, the ink layer thicknesses in the inking unit are compensated for both in and across the printing direction.
  • inking unit In the upper part of the inking unit, there is a color balance between ink metering zones with large and small ink layer thicknesses.
  • a large number of sheets e.g. pre-run waste
  • the first printed sheets after a stopper thus have strongly swiveling color density gradients across the format width.
  • Ink flow separation means that with "Printing from” the ink flow in the inking unit is interrupted at some points by separating the corresponding inking unit rollers from one another. The ink layer thickness compensation then takes place only within a reduced number of inking unit rollers.
  • Such a color flow separation is described, for example, in “Technology of Offset Printing", VEB subuchverlag Leipzig 1989, from page 223 described. Color flow separation, however, prevents compensation of the ink layer thicknesses only in the direction of the inking unit.
  • a friction roller is known in which the roller shell is driven by friction from the plate cylinder and has a friction drive which drives the roller shell for periodic axial movements.
  • the friction drive also has a clutch, by means of which the stroke speed of the friction can be changed or the friction movement can be stopped completely.
  • the object of the present invention is thus to improve an inking unit for printing machines in accordance with the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that the number of waste sheets after a stopper can be reduced using simple means.
  • the triggering device which actuates the clutch can be linked directly with the command "pressure on / down" or with the switch-on and switch-off devices of the inking rollers - mostly pneumatic cylinders.
  • the clutch is assigned to the input-side drive wheel of the friction drive and is designed such that this drive wheel can be disengaged on a shaft in a certain angle of rotation position.
  • a clutch is advantageously achieved by a form-fitting design of the coupling parts to each other.
  • the form-fitting design of the coupling parts is such that the re-engagement takes place only when the coupling parts are at a certain angle of rotation. This ensures in a simple manner that after a stopper lateral rubbing is continued in phase with respect to the printing unit position.
  • Possible triggering devices are, for example, electromagnetic or, in the case of pressurizing medium - hydraulic / pneumatic - devices which become effective. The latter devices are expediently actuated by electrically switchable solenoid valves.
  • the clutch can additionally have a pre-synchronization, so that when the triggering device is actuated, the one clutch part is first taken along by the other clutch part by frictional engagement and only then does it engage in a positive and correct manner.
  • the times for the actuation of the triggering device that is to say the engagement or disengagement of the clutch, can take place at those times of movement of the friction drive in which the lowest drive torques prevail.
  • the shift clutches outlined above in terms of structure and function, which can be used in the present invention, are known, for example, from DE 2 854 032 A1 and have two toothed disks which are correspondingly toothed to one another, one toothed disk being axially displaceable relative to the other.
  • Switching clutches which can be actuated electromagnetically and have toothed disks are widely used in sheet-fed printing machines and are used, for example, to couple and uncouple the sheet feeder (sheet transport) to the drive of the printing press.
  • an inking unit there is no lateral rubbing in a stopper.
  • the ink layer thickness profile on the inking unit rollers, transverse to the printing direction, is therefore not rubbed during the stopper.
  • the continuous inking unit rollers and the large number of splitting processes also result in an ink cross flow between the zones with high and those with a lower ink layer thickness, this remains the case Ink layer thickness profile obtained transversely to the printing direction with the friction drive switched off considerably longer than with further rubbing movements.
  • the first friction roller following the lifting roller in particular has large ink layer thickness differences, ie a correspondingly significant ink layer thickness profile, which would degrade in a relatively short time if there were further rubbing movements during a stop.
  • the present invention can be applied to inking units with or without devices for ink flow separation.
  • provision can also be made for only the topmost friction roller (first friction roller) to be stopped with a stopper.
  • Fig. 2 shows the friction drive of a friction roller 1 of an inking unit, not shown.
  • the friction roller 1 is mounted with its pin 2 axially back and forth in the side walls of the printing machine, not shown here.
  • On a pin 2 is an arm of a via a transmission ring 3 with an elongated cross section which engages in a corresponding annular groove of the pin 2
  • Angle lever 4 articulated.
  • Angle lever 4 is pivotally mounted on the frame with an axis which is perpendicular to that of the friction roller.
  • a rod 5 is rotatably articulated on a second arm of angle lever 4, for example by means of a fork-shaped end. The other end of the rod 5 is articulated on a crank wheel 6 of the friction drive.
  • the crank wheel 6 has an elongated slot 7 in the radial direction, in which the end of the rod 5 articulated on the crank wheel 6 can be displaced when the locking screw 8 is loosened.
  • the friction drive shown can also drive several friction rollers 1 via special mechanisms.
  • the crank wheel 6 of the friction drive is coaxially assigned a drive wheel 9 of the friction drive, which meshes, for example, directly with a gearwheel 10 attached to the plate cylinder (not shown here) (FIG. 1). So that not only the stroke but also the time of use for the lateral rubbing is adjustable, the drive wheel 9 can be rotated relative to the crank wheel 6, for example after loosening screws or similar locking means, so that the angular position of the crank wheel 6 can then be changed relative to the angular position of the plate cylinder .
  • crank wheel 6 and the drive wheel 9 are assigned a shaft 11, which is seated via a truncated cone in a bearing arranged in the wall of the side stand 12.
  • Crank wheel 6 is fixedly attached to the free end of shaft 11 (or detachable for the adjustment of the starting point of friction), drive wheel 9 is freely rotatable on shaft 11.
  • the end of shaft 11 assigned to crank wheel 6 is rotatably supported via a housing part 11.2.
  • Housing part 11.2 is firmly connected to the side stand 12.
  • the drive wheel 9 can be locked with respect to the shaft 11 via a clutch 13 arranged on the shaft 11.
  • the clutch 13 consists of a pair of toothed disks 13.1, 13.2, with for example a toothed disk 13.1 on the shaft 11 is rotatably connected to the drive wheel 9 and the toothed disk 13.2 is rotatably and axially displaceably (for example via a multi-groove profile 13.3) connected to the shaft 11.
  • the toothed disks 13.1, 13.2 have an L-shaped profile and on the end face such a toothing 13.4 distributed asymmetrically over the circumference, so that mutual engagement is only possible with a single angle of rotation position.
  • the toothed disks 13.1, 13.2 are pressed together, for example, by a compression spring associated with the toothed disk 13.2 (disc springs - not shown -).
  • the triggering device 14 can also be formed from a hydraulic cylinder (hydraulic / pneumatic) which can be pressurized and which is arranged in the shaft 11, for which purpose holes for the pressure medium supply would also have to be drilled in the shaft 11.
  • a hydraulic cylinder hydraulic / pneumatic
  • frictional clutches could also be used.
  • the triggering device 14 of a friction clutch (for example hydraulic) is then acted upon at the exact time with the corresponding working medium, so that the separation or closing of the torque flow between the drive wheel 9 and the crank wheel 6 takes place only at a certain angular position of these wheels with respect to one another.
  • the corresponding time switching points for this would be a rotary encoder attached to a single-speed shaft of the printing press, together with a computer with a stored target angle position can be removed.
  • the triggering device 14 would then be controlled by correspondingly rapidly reacting solenoid valves.
  • the triggering device 14 and the frictional properties of the clutch parts would then be dimensioned such that there is only negligible slip during the switching operations.
