Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Falztrichter für einen Falzapparat einer Rotationsdruckmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a former for a folder of a rotary printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.

In Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen mit mehreren Druckwerken und Papierbahnen wird es häufig gefordert, die Papierbahn mit z. B. vierfarbigem Druck - je nach herzustellendem Produkt - beim Trichtereinlauf wahlweise obenauf oder nach unten zu legen. Hierzu waren bisher komplizierte Papierbahnführungen und -wendungen notwendig.In web-fed rotary printing presses with multiple printing units and paper webs, it is often required to use the paper web with e.g. B. four-color print - depending on the product to be manufactured - at the funnel inlet either on top or down. Until now, complicated paper web guides and applications were necessary for this.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Falztrichter zu schaffen, der es ermöglicht, auf einfache Weise das Ausschießschema zu erweitern.The invention has for its object to provide a former, which makes it possible to easily expand the imposition scheme.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch den kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß durch die Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Trichters die Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine sowohl zur Herstellung von Zeitungen (mit der Punktur am Zeitungsfuß) als auch von Akzidenzdrucken verwendet werden kann. Es entfallen komplizierte Wendeeinrichtungen. Bei Vierfarbendrucken ist es nicht mehr notwendig, daß die in vier Farben bedruckte Papierbahnseite über Papierleitwalzen läuft. Es kann auf einfache Art und Weise der Vierfarbendruck wahlweise auf die Außenseite des Falzproduktes oder nach innen gelegt werden.The advantages which can be achieved with the invention consist in particular in that, by using the funnel according to the invention, the web-fed rotary printing press can be used both for the production of newspapers (with the puncture on the newspaper foot) and for commercial prints. Complicated turning devices are not required. With four-color printing, it is no longer necessary for the paper web side printed in four colors to run over paper guide rollers. Four-color printing can be easily placed either on the outside of the folded product or inside.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.

Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung einer Rollenrotationsdruckmaschine in Reihenbauweise mit einem Falzwerk mit aufgesetztem erfindungsgemäßen Falztrichter,
  • Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht des erfindungsgemäßen Falztrichters mit aufgesetzter Papierbahnführung,
  • Fig. 3 eine Draufsicht auf Fig. 2,
  • Fig. 4 einen Schnitt IV - IV in Fig. 3,
  • Fig. 5 einen Schnitt V - V in Fig. 3.
Show it:
  • 1 is a schematic representation of a web-fed rotary printing press in a row construction with a folding unit with a folding former according to the invention,
  • 2 is a side view of the former according to the invention with the paper web guide attached,
  • 3 is a plan view of FIG. 2,
  • 4 shows a section IV - IV in FIG. 3,
  • 5 shows a section V - V in FIG. 3.

Wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, werden z. B. zwei Papierbahnen 1 und 2 in fünf Druckeinheiten 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 im Schön- und Widerdruck bedruckt. Die Papierbahn 1 wird z. B. einfarbig, die Papierbahn 2 vierfarbig im Schön- und Widerdruck bedruckt und anschließend durch einen Trockenofen 9 über Papierleitwalzen 11 einem erfindungsgemäßen Falztrichter 12 in einem Falzwerk 13 zugeführt.As shown in Fig. 1, z. B. two paper webs 1 and 2 printed in five printing units 3, 4, 6, 7, 8 in perfecting. The paper web 1 is z. B. monochrome, the paper web 2 printed in four colors in perfecting and then fed through a drying oven 9 via paper guide rollers 11 to a former 12 according to the invention in a folder 13.

Der Falztrichter 12 ist in Seitengestellen 14, 16 in bekannter Weise montiert. Im oberen Teil der Seitengestelle 14, 16 sind in ebenfalls bekannter Weise Papierleitwalzen 17 und angetriebene Zugwalzen 18, 19 angeordnet.The folding former 12 is mounted in side frames 14, 16 in a known manner. In the upper part of the side frames 14, 16, paper guide rollers 17 and driven draw rollers 18, 19 are also arranged in a known manner.

Die Seitengestelle 14, 16 sind an einem Karusselloberteil 21 festgeschraubt. Das Karusselloberteil 21 sitzt auf einem Karussellsockel 22. Eine Verdrehung von Karusselloberteil 21 auf dem Karussellsockel 22 wird durch einen Lenkkranz 23 ermöglicht. Hierbei ist an einem Oberring 24 des Lenkkranzes 23 das Karusselloberteil 21, und ein Unterring 26 des Lenkkranzes 23 am Karussellsockel 22 befestigt. Somit läßt sich der an den Seitengestellen 14, 16 befestigte Falztrichter 12 horizontal um mindestens 180° verdrehen. Über vier horizontale obere Streben 27, 28, 29, 31 sind die Seitengestelle 14, 16 am Oberring 24 befestigt. Vier untere horizontale, am Karussellsockel 22 angeschweißte Streben 32, 33, 34, 36 dienen zur Befestigung des Unterringes 26 am Karussellsockel 22. An einer Unterseite der oberen Streben 27, 28, 29, 31 und an einer Oberseite der unteren Streben 32, 33, 34, 36 sind obere 37 und untere Auflaufkeile 38 angeschraubt. Sie ermöglichen einen sicheren Stand des Karusselloberteils 21 mit den Seitengestellen 14, 16 auf dem Karussellsockel 22 in der O°-Stellung des Falztrichters 12 - d. h. er ist zu den Druckwerken 4, 6, 7, 8 hin geneigt (siehe Fig. 2) - oder in der 180°-Stellung - d. h. der Falztrichter 12 ist von den Druckwerken 4, 6, 7, 8 weg geneigt. Arretiervorrichtungen 39, 41 sorgen dafür, daß der Falztrichter 12 wahlweise in der "O°-Stellung" oder in der "180°-Stellung" festgehalten werden kann. Hierbei ist ein Arretieranschlag 42, 43 in Form einer Lasche am Karussellsockel 22, und ein Arretieroberteil 44, 46 in Form einer Lasche am Karusselloberteil 21 befestigt. Die Arretieroberteile 44 bzw. 46 schlagen in den Arretierstellungen 00 bzw. 180° an die Arretieranschläge 42 bzw. 43 an. Im Arretieranschlag 42 ist eine Gewindebohrung. Im Arretieroberteil 44, 46 ist jeweils eine Bohrung, durch die hindurch eine Schraube in die Gewindebohrung hineingeschraubt wird, und so das Karusselloberteil 21 am Karussellsockel 22 sicher arretiert ist. Am Karusselloberteil 21 sind zwei vertikale Befestigungsplatten 40, 45 angebracht, zwischen denen in ihren unteren Enden zwei herkömmliche Trichtereinlaufwalzen 47, 48 drehbar gelagert sind.The side frames 14, 16 are screwed to a carousel upper part 21. The upper part of the carousel 21 is seated on a carousel base 22. The upper part of the carousel 21 can be rotated on the base of the carousel 22 by means of a steering ring 23. Here is on an upper ring 24 of the steering rim 23 the carousel upper part 21, and a lower ring 26 of the steering ring 23 attached to the carousel base 22. Thus, the former 12 attached to the side frames 14, 16 can be rotated horizontally by at least 180 °. The side frames 14, 16 are fastened to the upper ring 24 via four horizontal upper struts 27, 28, 29, 31. Four lower horizontal struts 32, 33, 34, 36 welded to the carousel base 22 serve to fasten the lower ring 26 to the carousel base 22. On an underside of the upper struts 27, 28, 29, 31 and on an upper side of the lower struts 32, 33, 34, 36 upper 37 and lower wedge 38 are screwed. They allow the upper part of the carousel 21 to stand securely with the side frames 14, 16 on the carousel base 22 in the 0 ° position of the former 12 - that is, it is inclined toward the printing units 4, 6, 7, 8 (see FIG. 2) - or in the 180 ° position - that is, the former 12 is inclined away from the printing units 4, 6, 7, 8. Locking devices 39, 41 ensure that the former 12 can be held either in the "0 ° position" or in the "180 ° position". Here, a locking stop 42, 43 in the form of a tab is attached to the carousel base 22, and an upper locking part 44, 46 in the form of a tab is attached to the top of the carousel 21. The upper locking parts 44 and 46 strike in the locking positions 0 0 and 180 ° on the locking stops 42 and 43. There is a threaded bore in the locking stop 42. In each of the upper locking parts 44, 46 there is a hole through which a screw is screwed into the threaded hole, so that the upper part of the carousel 21 is securely locked on the base 22 of the carousel. On the upper part of the carousel 21, two vertical fastening plates 40, 45 are attached, between which two conventional funnel inlet rollers 47, 48 are rotatably mounted in their lower ends.
