Definitions

the invention relates to a device according to the generic features of claim 1.
the various printing units for transferring partial images are often driven by a longitudinal shaft connecting all the individual drives.
the printing units are also connected to each other with a gear train for synchronization. Since there may be play within the gear train, there is a risk of irregularities in the transfer of the printed image. For example, Drawing files do not lie exactly on top of each other when printed.
a drive for multi-color sheet-fed rotary printing presses in a row arrangement with at least two printing units is known.
the drive is solved by a longitudinal shaft and two worm gears, which connect the longitudinal shaft with the wheel train of the individual printing units.
the longitudinal shaft is divided and connected with an axially movable coupling. This axially movable coupling can be adjusted with the aid of a hydraulic system for bracing the drive in the area of the worm gear.
a drive for a multi-color rotary sheet printing machine with a series construction of the printing units is also known.
This drive also has a longitudinal shaft, which is divided. The longitudinal shaft parts are connected to each other with a torsion bar spring. An additional gear is used to preload this torsion bar spring to eliminate play in the drive.
a drive for multi-color sheet-fed rotary printing presses in a row arrangement with at least two printing units is known.
a longitudinal shaft for driving worm gears for individual printing units is set under axial preload to eliminate the play in the worm gears.
the object of the invention is to improve a method with an associated device according to the preamble of claim 1 such that any operating conditions can be taken into account by eliminating play in multi-color sheet-fed printing presses with optional sheet turning within the drive.
the sheet-fed rotary printing press has a drive wheel train 1 for connecting various individual printing units AE, drive gears being provided on a printing cylinder and a sheet transfer drum, which mesh with one another.
the sheet-fed rotary printing press is driven by a main drive motor 2 via a longitudinal shaft 3.
the required drive powers are diverted from the longitudinal shaft 3 via two drives 4, 5 to the drive gears of the printing cylinders of two different printing units B, D.
the sheet-fed rotary printing press is suitable for performing two-sided printing, the so-called perfecting.
a device for gear train separation 6, not shown here, is provided in the drive wheel train 1, here for example on the printing unit C, by means of which the rigid coupling of the printing units B and C can be separated from one another. It enables an adjustment in such a way that the printing units A, B in front of and C-E can be rotated against one another behind the separation point and can be rigidly coupled again.
the drive is shown in more detail in FIG. 2.
the device for gear train separation 6 should be arranged on the drive gear 7. It thus lies in the area of the drives 4, 5 from the longitudinal shaft 3 into the drive wheel train 1.
the longitudinal shaft 3 can be separated between the two drives 4, 5 by means of a switchable clutch 8.
the clutch 8 is shown here as a cone clutch.
a positioning drive 9 is arranged in the vicinity of the input 4 located behind the clutch 8 and engages the longitudinal shaft 3 via a gear 10.
the positioning drive 9 is set up for the automated adjustment of the printing units F, G relative to one another when switching from straight printing to face and reverse printing and vice versa. It also allows the exact setting of the relative position of the printing units F, G to one another, since this position depends on the paper format processed in each case.
the changeover to the other operating mode can also take place via a correspondingly controllable main drive motor 2.
the function of the device is as follows: To adjust the sheet-fed rotary printing machine either to the position for production with sheet turning or to the position for production in straight printing, both the device for gear train separation 6 and the clutch 8 of the longitudinal shaft 3 are activated. Then the rotation of the printing units F, G relative to one another is adjusted by means of the main drive motor 2 or the positioning drive 9. Subsequently, the drive wheel train 1 can be rigidly coupled again to the gear train separation device 6 and the longitudinal shaft 3 to the clutch 8.
the relative position of the printing units F, G is thus set. To ensure the exact sheet transport, the adjustment of the drives 4, 5 to the play conditions of the drive wheel train 1 including the drives 4, 5 and the torsion of the longitudinal shaft 3 from the load conditions in the printing operation is now necessary.
the procedure using the main drive motor 2 has Advantage that loads from the machine movement are transferred directly to the playing conditions.
the adjustment movement can be carried out at different speeds defined according to characteristic curves. Different torque ratios and drive load distributions on the different drives 4, 5 can thus be simulated.
the positioning drive 9 is designed per se for the execution of small angular steps and is made usable for an additional function.
the required angles BETA and GAMMA are easily determinable for the required drive accuracy.
the BETA angle with 1 degree machine angle will meet the requirements.
all tooth flanks in the drive are brought into contact in a first step. Due to the separation of the longitudinal shaft 3, different tooth flanks are in contact with the drive state in machine operation, since only part of the longitudinal shaft 3 is moved directly during the positioning, but the other is moved via the drive wheel train 1.
the establishment of the operating edges, ie. of the tooth flanks used in printing operation is therefore produced in the reverse rotation.
almost any desired torque distribution between the drives can be ensured by positioning the drive with different values of the angle GAMMA. Turning back brings the tooth flanks still "incorrectly" into the required operating state.
a control method is also conceivable for this, in which the angle GAMMA is selected automatically on the basis of the expected machine load.
the machine load is, for example, from using a Multi-color sheet-fed printing machine with any additional units such as coating equipment, depending on the situation, since not all printing units AF are always used.
the angle GAMMA is selected from a characteristic field by setting the number of printing units AF and additional units used accordingly.
the method can accordingly also be used for drives with more than two drives from a longitudinal shaft parallel to a drive wheel train.
the procedural steps are then analogous.
the only thing that needs to be considered in the shift sequence is the orientation within the drive, depending on where the gear train separation / s and the coupling / s are arranged in the longitudinal shaft.
