Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Querschneideeinrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a cross cutting device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Gemäß DE-OS 14 36 520 ist eine Einrichtung zum Schneiden und Übertragen von mehrlagigen Produkten, die aus einer Rotationsdruckmaschine kommen, bekannt, welche einen Schneidzylinder und einen Nutzylinder aufweist.According to DE-OS 14 36 520, a device for cutting and transferring multilayer products that come from a rotary printing press is known, which has a cutting cylinder and a useful cylinder.

Um den in das Falzwerk einlaufenden Papierstrang in einzelne Produkte aufzuteilen, befindet sich im Falzwerk eine Querschneideeinrichtung. Diese Einrichtung besteht aus einem Schneidzylinder mit eingesetztem Messerbalken und Schneidleisten, auch Nutleisten genannt, welche im Nut- oder Nutsammelzylinder eingesetzt sind. Durch das Abrollen des Schneidzylinders mit dem Nutzylinder setzt sich das Schneidmesser auf den einlaufenden Papierstrang auf. Da das Schneidmesser aus der Oberfläche des Schneidzylinders hervorsteht, taucht die Schneidkante des Messers in die Nutleiste des Nutzylinders ein und trennt das Produkt vom Strang. Die Eintauchtiefe des Schneidmessers in die Nutleiste wird durch die Zahnform der Schneidmesserkante festgelegt.In order to divide the paper strand entering the folding unit into individual products, there is a cross cutting device in the folding unit. This device consists of a cutting cylinder with an inserted cutter bar and cutting strips, also called groove strips, which are inserted in the groove or groove collecting cylinder. By unrolling the cutting cylinder with the working cylinder, the cutting knife sits on the incoming paper strand. Since the cutting knife protrudes from the surface of the cutting cylinder, the cutting edge of the knife dips into the groove of the working cylinder and separates the product from the strand. The depth of immersion of the cutting knife in the groove is determined by the tooth shape of the cutting knife edge.

Da das Schneidmesser sich beim Schneidvorgang in der Nutleiste nicht abrollen kann wie ein Zahnrad, da nur ein schmaler Einschnitt vorhanden ist, entstehen an dieser Stelle hohe Belastungen für Nutleiste und Schneidmesser. Bei der Erzeugung von dünnen Produkten wird dieses Problem gelöst, indem man sehr elastische Nutleisten und Messerbalken mit dünnen Schneidmessern einsetzen kann, da ja nur geringe Schnittkräfte vorhanden sind. Die Schneidmesser können die Biegebeanspruchung durch ihre Blattfedereigenschaft ausgleichen, und die sehr elastischen Nutleisten deformieren sich in der Schneidnute, ohne diese zu zerstören. Außerdem sind bei diesen geringen Schnittkräften die Andruckleisten, welche sich rechts und links des Schneidmessers befinden, aus einem hochelastischen Kunststoff mit guter Federungseigenschaft und werden daher beim Schneidvorgang nicht eingeklemmt.
Bei der Erzeugung von dicken Produkten werden Nutleisten mit sehr geringer Elastizität und sehr biegesteifen Schneidmessern sowie unelastische Andruckleisten eingesetzt, welche über Schraubenfedern angedrückt werden. Mit dieser Ausführung der Schneideinrichtung werden die großen Kräfte, die beim Schneidvorgang entstehen, aufgenommen. Diese Ausführung der Schneideinrichtung hat durch ihre Steifigkeit einen schnelleren und größeren Verschleiß von Nutleiste, Schneidmesser und Andruckleisten zur Folge.Since the cutting knife is in the cutting process in the Groove bar cannot roll off like a gear, since there is only a small incision, high loads are created for the groove bar and cutting knife at this point. When producing thin products, this problem is solved by using very elastic groove strips and cutter bars with thin cutting knives, since there are only minimal cutting forces. The cutting blades can compensate for the bending stress due to their leaf spring properties, and the very elastic groove strips deform in the cutting groove without destroying it. In addition, with these low cutting forces, the pressure strips, which are located on the right and left of the cutting knife, are made of a highly elastic plastic with good spring properties and are therefore not pinched during the cutting process.
When producing thick products, grooved strips with very low elasticity and very rigid cutting blades as well as inelastic pressure strips are used, which are pressed on using coil springs. With this design of the cutting device, the large forces that arise during the cutting process are absorbed. Due to its rigidity, this design of the cutting device results in faster and greater wear of the groove strip, cutting knife and pressure strips.

Mit derartigen Schneideinrichtungen müssen jedoch sowohl dünne als auch dicke Produkte bearbeitet werden. Nachteilig dabei ist, daß dann für jede Produktart das Schneidsystem gewechselt werden muß.With such cutting devices, however, both thin and thick products must be processed. The disadvantage here is that the cutting system must then be changed for each type of product.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Querschneideeinrichtung an Falzwerken für Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen unter Verwendung eines Schneidezylinders und eines Nutzylinders mit Nutleisten zum Verarbeiten von dünnem und dickem Schneidgut zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a cross cutting device on folding units for web-fed rotary printing presses using a cutting cylinder and a working cylinder with groove strips for processing thin and thick material to be cut.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch das Kennzeichen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Zweckmäßige Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind den Unteransprüchen zu entnehmen.The object is achieved by the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Appropriate embodiments of the invention can be found in the subclaims.

Durch die zweiteilige Ausführung der Nutleiste werden folgende Vorteile erzielt. Dadurch, daß das Nutteil der Nutleiste aus einem Kunststoff mit geringer Elastizität besteht, wird dem Schneidmesser, das durch das Schneidgut dringt, ein verhältnismäßig großer Widerstand entgegengesetzt. Dabei tauchen die Schneidmesserzähne voll in die Nutleiste ein, ohne daß die Nutleiste ausweichen kann.The following advantages are achieved by the two-part design of the groove strip. Because the groove part of the groove strip consists of a plastic with low elasticity, the cutting knife that penetrates through the material to be cut is subjected to a relatively large resistance. The cutting knife teeth are fully immersed in the slot bar without the slot bar being able to escape.

Durch die Ausgestaltung der Nutleiste mit einem Elastikteil ist es möglich geworden, durch die Verdichtung dieses Elastikteils beim Schneidvorgang die Kräfte aufzunehmen, die durch die Differenzgeschwindigkeit der Schneidkante zur Nutleiste entstehen. Dadurch wird die Biegebeanspruchung des Schneidmessers stark vermindert und ein Einklemmen der Druckleisten vermieden. Aus diesem Grunde können dickere Schneidmesser eingesetzt werden, die biegesteif sind und eine höhere Standzeit haben. Es können auch dünnere Produkte geschnitten werden.By designing the groove strip with an elastic part, it has become possible, by compressing this elastic part during the cutting process, to absorb the forces which arise from the difference in speed of the cutting edge to the groove strip. As a result, the bending stress of the Cutting knife greatly reduced and jamming of the pressure bars avoided. For this reason, thicker cutting knives can be used, which are rigid and have a longer service life. Thinner products can also be cut.

Durch die Erfindung ist es auch möglich geworden, für das Nutteil der Nutleiste einen Werkstoff zu verwenden, welcher elastisch und abriebfest ist und trotzdem das Schneidmesser infolge des Einsatzes des Elastikteils nicht beschädigt wird.The invention has also made it possible to use a material for the groove part of the groove strip which is elastic and abrasion-resistant and nevertheless does not damage the cutting knife as a result of the use of the elastic part.

Die Erfindung soll nachstehend an mehreren Ausführungsbeispielen näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail below using several exemplary embodiments.

Gemäß Fig. 1 ist ein Vertikalschnitt durch eine erfindungsgemäße Querschneideeinrichtung gezeigt, wobei der Nutzylinder 1 und der Schneidzylinder 2 nur ausschnittsweise dargestellt ist und beide Zylinder 1; 2 in Pfeilrichtung B mit annähernd gleicher Umfangsgeschwindigkeit umlaufen. Die Andruckleisten auf dem Schneidzylinder 2 sind der besseren Übersicht halber nicht dargestellt worden. Dies trifft auch für die Fig. 2 bis 5 zu. Der Schneidzylinder 2 besitzt ein in radialer Richtung angeordnetes und mit seiner Spitze 3 aus dem Umfang 4 des Schneidzylinders 2 herausragendes Schneidmesser 6. Das Schneidmesser 6 ist in einem bekannten, nicht dargestellten Messerbalken festgeklemmt. Das Schneidmesser 6 erstreckt sich in koaxialer Richtuung zur nicht dargestellten Achse des Schneidzylinders 2.1 shows a vertical section through a cross cutting device according to the invention, the useful cylinder 1 and the cutting cylinder 2 being shown only in part and both cylinders 1; 2 revolve in the direction of arrow B at approximately the same peripheral speed. The pressure strips on the cutting cylinder 2 have not been shown for the sake of clarity. This also applies to FIGS. 2 to 5. The cutting cylinder 2 has a cutting knife 6 arranged in the radial direction and with its tip 3 protruding from the circumference 4 of the cutting cylinder 2. The cutting knife 6 is clamped in a known knife bar (not shown). The cutting knife 6 extends in a coaxial direction to the axis of the cutting cylinder 2, not shown.

Die Nutleiste 7 verläuft in koaxialer Richtung zur ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Achse des Nutzylinders 1. Die Nutleiste 7 ist zweiteilig ausgeführt und besteht aus einem Nutteil 8 und einem Druckfederteil 9. Das Nutteil 8 und das Druckfederteil 9 sind lose nebeneinander und parallel am Umfang des Nutzylinders 1 angeordnet, und zwar immer so, daß in Pfeilrichtung B zuerst das Nutteil 8 und dann das Druckfederteil 9 angebracht ist. Die sich auf dem Flugkreis 11 in Pfeilrichtung B bewegende Spitze 3 des Schneidmessers 6 berührt im Punkt 12 den Produktstrang 13 und verläßt den Produktstrang 13 wieder nach dem Schneidvorgang im Punkt 14.The groove 7 runs in the coaxial direction to the axis of the useful cylinder 1, which is also not shown. The groove 7 is made in two parts and consists of a groove part 8 and a pressure spring part 9. The groove part 8 and the pressure spring part 9 are loosely next to each other and parallel on the circumference of the useful cylinder 1 arranged, always in such a way that first the groove part 8 and then the compression spring part 9 is attached in the direction of arrow B. The point 3 of the cutting knife 6 which moves on the flight circle 11 in the direction of the arrow B touches the product strand 13 at point 12 and leaves the product strand 13 again after the cutting process at point 14.

Das Nutteil 8 besteht aus Polyurethan mit einer Härte von 90 bis 95 Shore. Das Druckfederteil 9 besteht hierbei beispielsweise aus Polyurethan mit einer Härte von 60 bis 70 Shore. Das Druckfederteil 9 nimmt durch Verdichtung beim Schneidvorgang die Kräfte auf, die durch die Differenzgeschwindigkeit der Schneidkante zur Nutleiste entstehen. Dadurch wird die Biegebeanspruchung des Schneidmessers 6 stark vermindert und ein Einklemmen der Druckleisten vermieden. Die beiden Leisten 8; 9 können vorzugsweise lose aneinanderliegend in die Nutleiste 7 eingesetzt werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß nur das Nutteil 8, in welchem das Schneidmesser 6 eintaucht, als Verschleißteil gewechselt werden muß.The groove part 8 consists of polyurethane with a hardness of 90 to 95 Shore. The compression spring part 9 consists here for example of polyurethane with a hardness of 60 to 70 Shore. The compression spring part 9 absorbs the forces caused by the difference in speed of the cutting edge to the groove strip by compression during the cutting process. As a result, the bending stress on the cutting knife 6 is greatly reduced and pinching of the pressure bars is avoided. The two strips 8; 9 can preferably be inserted loosely into the groove 7. This has the advantage that only the groove part 8, in which the cutting knife 6 is immersed, has to be replaced as a wearing part.

Gemäß Fig. 2 ist eine weitere Ausführungsvariante in einer Darstellung analog Fig. 1 gezeigt, wobei der Schneidzylinder 4 und auch der Produktstrang 13 nicht dargestellt ist. Die Nutleiste 7 ist zweiteilig ausgeführt und besteht aus dem Nutteil 8 und einem Druckfederteil 16. Das Druckfederteil 16 besteht beispielsweise aus Messing und umfaßt außerdem noch eine Druckfeder 17, die in tangentialer Richtung entgegen der Pfeilrichtung B auf das Elastikteil 16 wirkt. Die Druckfeder 17 ist durch einen Gewindestift 18 in einer tangential zum Nutzylinder 1 verlaufenden Gewindebohrung 19 einstellbar angeordnet.Über die gesamte Länge der Nutleiste 7 sind mehrere Gewindestifte 18 mit Druckfedern 17 vorgesehen. Die Wirkung der Nutleiste 7 ist die gleiche, wie bei Fig. 1 beschrieben.According to FIG. 2, a further embodiment variant is shown in a representation analogous to FIG. 1, the cutting cylinder 4 and also the product strand 13 not being shown. The groove 7 is made in two parts and consists of the groove part 8 and a compression spring part 16. The compression spring part 16 is made of brass, for example, and also includes a compression spring 17 which acts on the elastic part 16 in the tangential direction opposite to the direction of the arrow B. The compression spring 17 is adjustably arranged by means of a threaded pin 18 in a threaded bore 19 extending tangentially to the working cylinder 1. A plurality of threaded pins 18 with compression springs 17 are provided over the entire length of the groove strip 7. The effect of the groove 7 is the same as described in Fig. 1.

Gemäß Fig. 3 ist eine weitere Ausführungsvariante in der Darstellungsweise nach Fig. 2 gezeigt. Die Nutleiste 7 ist wiederum zweiteilig, jedoch aus einem Material ausgeführt und besteht aus dem Nutteil 8 und einem Druckfederteil 21. Innerhalb des Druckfederteils 21 ist ein federndes Element 22 angeordnet, welches im Querschnitt rechteckig ausgebildet ist und sich in axialer Richtung auch wellenlinienförmig erstrecken kann. Das Druckfederteil 21 kann aus Polyamid 12 bestehen. Das federnde Element 22 kann aus Stahl, Polyamid oder dgl. Material bestehen. Die Wirkung der Nutleiste 7 ist ebenso, wie bei Fig. 1 beschrieben.3 is a further embodiment in the Representation shown in FIG. 2. The groove strip 7 is again in two parts, but made of one material and consists of the groove part 8 and a compression spring part 21. Inside the compression spring part 21, a resilient element 22 is arranged, which is rectangular in cross section and can also extend in a wavy manner in the axial direction. The compression spring part 21 can consist of polyamide 12. The resilient element 22 can consist of steel, polyamide or the like material. The effect of the groove 7 is the same as described in FIG. 1.

Gemäß Fig. 4 ist eine weitere Ausführungsvariante der Nutleiste 7 in der Darstellungsweise nach Fig. 2 gezeigt, wobei die Fig. 5 die Ansicht A nach Fig. 4 darstellt. Die Nutleiste 7 ist zweiteilig, jedoch aus einem Material ausgeführt, d. h. das Nutteil 8 und ein Druckfederteil 23 sind fest miteinander verbunden. Das Druckfederteil 23 besitzt sich in axialer Richtung erstreckende, in Abständen voneinander angeordnete Löcher 24, welche die Elastizität der Nutleiste 7 erhöhen. Das Material kann das gleiche sein, wie das beim Nutteil 8 verwendete. Die Wirkung ist die gleiche, wie bei Fig. 1 beschrieben. Das Schneidmesser 6 kann eine Dicke von 2 bis 3 mm aufweisen. Es können Produkte bis zu 96 Seiten mit derselben Querschneideeinrichtung geschnitten werden.According to FIG. 4, a further embodiment variant of the groove strip 7 is shown in the representation according to FIG. 2, wherein FIG. 5 shows the view A according to FIG. 4. The groove strip 7 is in two parts, but made of one material, ie the groove part 8 and a compression spring part 23 are firmly connected to one another. The compression spring part 23 has holes 24 which extend in the axial direction and are spaced apart from one another and which increase the elasticity of the groove strip 7. The material can be the same as that used in the groove part 8. The effect is the same as described in Fig. 1. The cutting knife 6 can have a thickness of 2 to 3 mm. Products up to 96 pages can be cut with the same cross cutter.

Ergänzend zu Fig. 1 wird ausgeführt, daß sich die Nutleiste 7 in einer in radialer Richtung von der Mantelfläche weg verlaufenden Nut mindestens an drei Seiten, nämlich an der Unterseite und den zwei Längsseiten, fest umschlossen ist und ihre vierte Seite, d. h. die Oberseite, bündig ist mit dem Mantel des Nutzylinders 1. Jeweils in Drehrichtung B des Nutzylinders 1 gesehen, ist zuerst das "weniger elastische" Nutteil 8 und anschließend das "elastischere" Druckfederteil 9 angeordnet. Das Nutteil 8 kann mit dem Druckfederteil 9 auch stoffschlüssig verbunden, z. B. verklebt oder verschweißt, oder aber formschlüssig verbunden sein. Z. B. ist es möglich, das Nutteil 8 mit dem Druckfederteil 9 an den beiden aneinanderliegenden Längsseiten miteinander zu verzahnen. Die Nutleiste 7 ist einstückig ausgeführt ist und besitzt eine bessere Handhabung beim Auswechseln derselben. Das neben dem Nutteil 8 angeordnete Druckfederteil 9 weist etwa die gleichen Dimensionen auf wie das Nutteil 8. Das Schneidmesser 6 trifft immer auf die freie obere Seite des härteren Nutteiles 8 auf, welches in radialer Richtung zur Achse des Nutzylinders 1 nicht ausweichen kann, da es gegen den Boden der Nut drückt. Ein elastisches Ausweichen ist nur in Richtung des Druckfederteiles 9 möglich, welches ein geringeres Elastizitätsmodul aufweist, z. B. ein um 33 Prozent geringeres Elastizitätsmodul im Vergleich zum Elastizitätsmodul der Nutleiste 7. Überraschenderweise treten an dem biegesteifen Schneidmesser 6 nur sehr geringe Verschleißerscheinungen auf, so daß hohe Standzeiten erzielt werden. Es können sowohl dünne als auch dicke Produkte, besser gesagt Abschnitte, gleichermaßen geschnitten werden.In addition to FIG. 1, it is stated that the groove strip 7 is tightly enclosed in a groove running in the radial direction away from the lateral surface at least on three sides, namely on the underside and the two longitudinal sides, and its fourth side, ie the top side, Is flush with the jacket of the useful cylinder 1. Each seen in the direction of rotation B of the useful cylinder 1, the "less elastic" groove part 8 and then the "more elastic" compression spring part 9 is arranged. The groove part 8 can also be integrally connected to the compression spring part 9, e.g. B. glued or welded, or be positively connected. For example, it is possible to interlock the groove part 8 with the compression spring part 9 on the two adjacent longitudinal sides. The groove 7 is made in one piece and has better handling when replacing the same. The compression spring part 9 arranged next to the groove part 8 has approximately the same dimensions as the groove part 8. The cutting knife 6 always strikes the free upper side of the harder groove part 8, which cannot deflect in the radial direction to the axis of the working cylinder 1, since it presses against the bottom of the groove. An elastic dodge is only possible in the direction of the compression spring part 9, which has a lower modulus of elasticity, for. B. a 33 percent lower modulus of elasticity compared to the modulus of elasticity of the groove strip 7. Surprisingly, the rigid knife 6 only occurs very much little wear and tear, so that long service lives are achieved. Both thin and thick products, or rather sections, can be cut equally.

Ergänzend zu Fig. 2 wird ausgeführt, daß das Druckfederteil 16 sowohl aus Metall als auch aus einem harten Kunststoff bestehen kann und die sich an zylinderfesten Teilen 18 abstützenden Druckfedern 17 auf das Druckfederteil 16 eine Kraft von etwa 0,5 Kilogramm pro Zentimeter Länge des Druckfederteiles 16 ausüben.In addition to Fig. 2 it is stated that the compression spring part 16 can consist of both metal and a hard plastic and the compression springs 17 which are supported on cylinder-fixed parts 18 on the compression spring part 16 have a force of approximately 0.5 kg per centimeter length of the compression spring part 16 exercise.

Diese Kraft wirkt auf das Druckfederteil 16 in der etwa der halben Tiefe der Nut entlang der Längsachsen der sich abstützenden zylinderfesten Teile 18. Die Wirkungslinie dieser Kraft steht senkrecht auf einer in radialer Richtung auf die Rotationsachse des Nutzylinders 1 weisenden Verlängerung einer zweiten Wirkungslinie, auf der das Eindringen des Schneidmessers 6 in die Oberseite der Nutleiste 7 erfolgt.This force acts on the compression spring part 16 in about half the depth of the groove along the longitudinal axes of the supporting cylinder-fixed parts 18. The line of action of this force is perpendicular to an extension of a second line of action pointing in the radial direction on the axis of rotation of the useful cylinder 1, on the the cutting knife 6 penetrates into the top of the groove 7.
