Abstract

A tensioning head for a web wound onto a tube comprises a supporting arm and a tensioning mandrel which is arranged displaceably in said arm and can be introduced into the tube. For the purpose of providing a space-saving ejection device for the tube of an unwound web, which is of simple design and does not require an independent drive, there is an ejector ring which surrounds the tensioning mandrel, is guided displaceably on the supporting arm parallel to the direction of movement of the tensioning mandrel and is supported resiliently with respect to the supporting arm. …<IMAGE>…

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spannkopf für eine auf einer Hülse aufgewickelte Bahn mit einem Tragarm und einem darin verschiebbar angeordneten, in die Hülse einführbaren Spanndorn.The invention relates to a tensioning head for a web wound on a sleeve with a support arm and a tensioning mandrel that can be displaced therein and inserted into the sleeve.

Derartige Spannköpfe werden beispielsweise zur Festlegung einer Papierbahnrolle in Rollenwechslern von Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen eingesetzt.Clamping heads of this type are used, for example, to fix a paper web roll in roll changers of web-fed rotary printing machines.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen gattungsgemäßen Spannkopf zu schaffen, der einen einfach aufgebauten, Platz sparenden, keinen eigenen Antrieb benötigenden Auswerfer für die Hülse einer abgewickelten Bahn aufweist.The invention has for its object to provide a generic tensioning head which has a simple, space-saving ejector for the sleeve of a developed web, which does not require its own drive.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies durch Anwendung der Merkmale des Kennzeichens des Anspruchs 1 erreicht.According to the invention, this is achieved by applying the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Ein erfindungsgemäßer Spannkopf zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß er trotz der Anordnung eines Auswerfers eine sehr steife Lagerung für den Spanndorn ermöglicht, da der Tragarm und damit das vordere Lager für den Spanndorn weit in Richtung zur Spitze des Spanndornes vorgezogen werden kann, ohne daß jedoch der Stellweg zur Einstellung der Seitenkante der von der Rolle abzuwickelnden Bahn unzulässig beschränkt wird.A clamping head according to the invention is characterized in that, despite the arrangement of an ejector, it enables a very rigid mounting for the mandrel, since the support arm and thus the front bearing for the mandrel can be advanced far towards the tip of the mandrel without, however, the Travel to adjust the side edge of the web to be unwound from the roll is restricted inadmissible.

Auf der Zeichnung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wiedergegeben. Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch die erfindungsgemäß wesentlichen Teile eines Spannkopfes.In the drawing, an embodiment of the invention is shown. The drawing shows a longitudinal section through the essential parts of a clamping head according to the invention.

Der Spannkopf umfaßt einen Tragarm 1. Der Tragarm 1 kann an einer festen Seitenwand oder an den Armen eines Rollensternes fest angeschlossen sein. In dem Träger 1 ist ein Zahnrad 2 drehbar gelagert, dessen Zähne mit einer Zahnstange 3 einer Lagerbuchse 4 kämmen. Die Lagerbuchse 4 ist im Tragarm 1 axial verschiebbar geführt. Das Zahnrad 3 kann in nicht näher dargestellter Weise entweder von Hand oder mittels eines Stellmotors betätigt werden. Im Innenraum der Lagerbuchse 4 ist mittels eines vorderen Wälzlagers 5 sowie eines weiteren nicht dargestellten, rückwärtigen Wälzlagers ein Spanndorn 6 drehbar, aber gegenüber der Lagerbuchse 4 axial unverschiebbar gelagert. Das aus der Lagerbuchse 4 herausragende freie Ende des Spanndornes 6 ist mit an sich bekannten, nicht näher dargestellten Spreizbacken 7 zum Festlegen einer aufgeschobenen Hülse einer Bahnrolle versehen. Dabei bildet eine Stirnfläche 8 eines Spannringes 9 einen Anschlag für die aufzuschiebende Hülse.The clamping head comprises a support arm 1. The support arm 1 can be firmly connected to a fixed side wall or to the arms of a roller star. A gear 2 is rotatably mounted in the carrier 1, the teeth of which are connected to a rack 3 of a bearing bush 4 comb. The bearing bush 4 is guided axially displaceably in the support arm 1. The gear 3 can be operated in a manner not shown either by hand or by means of a servomotor. A mandrel 6 is rotatably mounted in the interior of the bearing bush 4 by means of a front roller bearing 5 and a further roller bearing, not shown, but is axially immovable relative to the bearing bush 4. The free end of the mandrel 6 protruding from the bearing bush 4 is provided with spreading jaws 7 known per se, not shown in more detail, for fixing a slid-on sleeve of a web roll. An end face 8 of a clamping ring 9 forms a stop for the sleeve to be pushed on.

Der Tragarm 1 weist eine Stirnseite 10 mit mehreren zylindrischen Ausnehmungen 11 auf. Zweckmäßig sind drei zylindrische Ausnehmungen 11 vorgesehen. Durch jede der zylindrischen Ausnehmungen 11 ragt ein Führungsstift 12 mit einem zylindrischen Kopf 13 größeren Durchmessers. Auf dem Kopf 13 ist eine Führungsbuchse 14 mit ihrer Innenfläche 15 gleitend gelagert. Die Führungsbuchse 14 weist an ihrem dem Tragarm 1 zugewandten Ende einen ringförmigen, sich nach innen erstreckenden Ansatz 16 auf. Mit der Innenfläche dieses Ansatzes ist die Führungsbuchse 14 auf dem Führungsstift 12 gleitend gelagert. Der ringförmige Ansatz 16 bildet gleichzeitig ein Wiederlager für das eine Ende einer schraubenförmigen Druckfeder 17, die den Führungsstift 12 umgibt. Das andere Ende der Druckfeder 17 stützt sich am Kopf 13 des Führungsstiftes ab. Fest mit der Führungsbuchse 14 ist ein Auswerferring 18 verbunden, der den Spanndorn 6 außen umgibt. Der Innendurchmesser des Auswerferringes 18 ist nur geringfügig größer als der der Stirnfläche 8 des Spannringes 9 zugewandte Außendurchmesser dieses Ringes und kleiner als der gestrichelt angedeutete Außendurchmesser 19 einer auszuwerfenden Hülse. Die Stirnfläche 20 des Auswerferrings 18 ist weiterhin in der Position dargestellt, in der der Spanndorn 6 soweit in Richtung des Pfeiles "a" ausgefahren ist, wie es zum Aufspannen einer Hülse einer Bahnrolle erforderlich ist. Durch die Feder 17 ist gewährleistet, daß der Auswerferring 18 an der Stirnfläche 21 der Lagerbuchse 4 kraftschlüssig anliegt und somit immer ein konstanter Abstand "c" eingehalten wird, damit der statische Auswerferring 18 niemals an der rotierenden Hülse einer Bahnrolle anlaufen kann. Diese Ausgestaltung ermöglicht es, den Spanndorn 6 zur Einstellung der Seitenkante der abzuwickelnden Bahn um einen bestimmten Weg in Richtung des Pfeiles a oder b zu verfahren, ohne daß der Auswerferring 18 eine axial wirkende Kraft auf die aufgespannte Hülse ausübt.The support arm 1 has an end face 10 with a plurality of cylindrical recesses 11. Three cylindrical recesses 11 are expediently provided. A guide pin 12 with a cylindrical head 13 of larger diameter projects through each of the cylindrical recesses 11. On the head 13, a guide bush 14 is slidably mounted with its inner surface 15. The guide bush 14 has at its end facing the support arm 1 an annular, inwardly extending extension 16. With the inner surface of this approach, the guide bush 14 is slidably mounted on the guide pin 12. The annular extension 16 also forms a bearing for one end of a helical compression spring 17 which surrounds the guide pin 12. The other end of the compression spring 17 is supported on the head 13 of the guide pin. An ejector ring 18, which surrounds the mandrel 6 on the outside, is fixedly connected to the guide bush 14. The inside diameter of the ejector ring 18 is only slightly larger than the outside diameter of this ring facing the end face 8 of the clamping ring 9 and smaller than the outside diameter 19 of a sleeve to be ejected, which is indicated by the broken line. The end face 20 of the ejector ring 18 is also shown in the position in which the mandrel 6 is extended as far in the direction of the arrow "a" as is necessary for clamping a sleeve of a web roll. The spring 17 ensures that the ejector ring 18 rests on the end face 21 of the bearing bush 4 in a force-fitting manner and thus a constant distance "c" is always maintained so that the static ejector ring 18 can never start on the rotating sleeve of a web roll. This configuration makes it possible to move the mandrel 6 to adjust the side edge of the web to be unwound by a certain path in the direction of the arrow a or b, without the ejector ring 18 exerting an axially acting force on the clamped sleeve.

Befindet sich auf dem Spanndorn 6 eine Hülse einer Bahnrolle, die ausgeworfen werden soll, so wird der Spanndorn 6 mittels des Zahnrades 2 über die verzahnte Lagerbuchse 4 in Richtung des Pfeiles "b" bewegt. Sobald der Spanndorn 6 soweit zurückgefahren wurde, daß die hintere Stirnfläche 22 des Auswerferrings 18 an der Stirnfläche 10 des Tragarms 1 zum Anliegen kommt, bleibt der Auswerferring 18 stehen, und beginnt, auf die Hülse eine in Abstreifrichtung wirkende Kraft auszuüben. Der Spanndorn 6 fährt nun solange weiter, bis die Kante 23 des Spanndorns unter der Stirnfläche 20 des Auswerferrings 18 verschwindet, und somit ein sicheres abstreifen der Hülse gewährleistet ist.If there is a sleeve of a web roll on the mandrel 6 that is to be ejected, the mandrel 6 is moved by means of the toothed wheel 2 over the toothed bearing bush 4 in the direction of arrow "b". As soon as the mandrel 6 has been retracted so far that the rear end face 22 of the ejector ring 18 comes to rest against the end face 10 of the support arm 1, the ejector ring 18 stops and begins to exert a force acting in the stripping direction on the sleeve. The mandrel 6 now continues until the edge 23 of the mandrel disappears under the end face 20 of the ejector ring 18, and thus a secure stripping of the sleeve is ensured.
