Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bogenführungseinrichtung für eine Druckmaschine mit einer sich längs der Bogenbahn erstreckenden Leitfläche und mit in der Leitfläche vorgesehenen Düsen, die mit Blasluft oder Saugluft beaufschlagbar sind.The invention relates to a sheet guiding device for a printing machine with one along the sheet path extending guide surface and provided in the guide surface Nozzles that can be charged with blown air or suction air are.

Bogenführungseinrichtungen der angegebenen Art sollen in Druckmaschinen die bedruckten Bogen beim Transport von einem Druckwerk zum nächsten oder zum Ausleger abschmierfrei führen. Hierzu werden die Bogen durch Beaufschlagung mit Blasluft und Saugluft beim Durchlaufen der Transportbahn stabilisiert und durch die Ausbildung geeigneter Luftpolster an einer Berührung der Führungen gehindert.Sheet guiding devices of the type specified should be in Printing machines the printed sheets when transporting one printing unit to the next or to the delivery without greasing to lead. To do this, the arches are applied with blown air and suction air when passing through the transport path stabilized and through the formation of suitable air cushions prevented from touching the guides.

Bei einer aus der EP 0 725 025 B1 bekannten Bogenführungseinrichtung der angegebenen Art werden die, in Bogentransportrichtung gesehen, im Einlaufbereich einer Leitfläche angeordneten Düsen in Abhängigkeit vom verarbeiteten Bedruckstoff wahlweise mit Saugluft oder mit Blasluft beaufschlagt und die Düsen der zwischen dem Einlaufbereich und dem Auslaufbereich der Leitfläche angeordneten Führungszone werden mit Blasluft beaufschlagt, wobei zumindest ein Teil der Düsen die Blasluft im wesentlichen tangential zur Oberfläche der Leitfläche zuführt. Hierbei können die Leitflächen eine unterschiedliche, dem jeweiligen Luftbedarf angepaßte Flächenbelegung mit Düsen aufweisen. Die Luftversorgung der Düsen erfolgt über Ventilatoren, deren Drehzahl zur Einstellung der Schwebeführung im Blasbetrieb und zur Anpassung der Reibkraft des Bogens auf den Leitflächen im Saugbetrieb regelbar ist. Zur Umsteuerung von Blasbetrieb auf Saugbetrieb können außerdem die Ventilatoren in ihrer Drehrichtung umschaltbar sein.In a sheet guiding device known from EP 0 725 025 B1 of the specified type, in the sheet transport direction seen in the inlet area of a guide surface arranged nozzles depending on the processed Printing material with either suction air or blown air acted upon and the nozzles between the inlet area and the outlet area of the guide surface arranged guide zone are blown with air, at least some of the nozzles blow the air essentially tangentially leads to the surface of the guide surface. Here, the Guiding surfaces a different, the respective air requirement have adapted area coverage with nozzles. The Air is supplied to the nozzles via fans, whose Speed for setting the floating guide in blowing mode and to adjust the frictional force of the bow on the guide surfaces is adjustable in suction mode. For reversing blowing operation the fans can also be operated in suction mode their direction of rotation can be switched.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Bogenführung der eingangs genannten Art die Stärke der Blasluft oder Saugluft auch in eng begrenzten Zonen optimal an das Flächengewicht der Bedruckstoffe, das Drucksujet und die Druckgeschwindigkeit anpassen zu können.The invention has for its object in a sheet guide the strength of the blown air or suction air, even in narrowly restricted zones Basis weight of the substrates, the print subject and the To be able to adjust printing speed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß die Größe des Durchtrittsquerschnitts zumindest einzelner Düsen einstellbar ist. Die Erfindung ermöglicht eine zonenweise individuelle Einstellung des Blasluft- oder Saugluftstroms und damit eine optimale Anpassung der Bogenführung an die jeweils gegebenen Betriebssituationen, ohne daß es einer Vielzahl von Ventilatoren mit regelbarer Drehzahl bedarf.According to the invention this object is achieved in that the Size of the passage cross section of at least individual nozzles is adjustable. The invention enables zone by zone individual adjustment of the blown air or suction air flow and thus an optimal adaptation of the sheet guide to the given operating situations without it Large number of fans with adjustable speed is required.

Gemäß einer besonders einfachen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die Düsen durch Öffnungen in einer die Leitfläche bildenden Wand und in einem auf der der Leitfläche abgekehrten Seite der Wand angeordneten Ventilelement gebildet sein, das in einer oder mehreren Erstreckungsrichtungen der Wand relativ zur Wand bewegbar ist, wobei in einer Stellung des Ventilelements die Öffnungen in der Wand und im Ventilelement zumindest teilweise einander überschneiden. Die Öffnungen in der Wand und im Ventilelement können hierbei deckungsgleich ausgebildet und angeordnet sein, so daß durch eine Bewegung des Ventilelements um einen bestimmten Betrag die Größe des Durchtrittsquerschnitts aller von dem Ventilelement gebildeten Düsen die gleiche Änderung erfahren kann. Zusammenwirkende Öffnungen in der Wand und im Ventilelement können aber auch in ihrer Größe und Form voneinander abweichen, so daß bei einer bestimmten Bewegung des Ventilelements die von den Öffnungen gebildeten Düsen unterschiedliche Änderungen ihres Durchtrittsquerschnitts erfahren. Zur zonenweisen Anpassung der Blas- oder Saugluft an die Erfordernisse der Bogenführung kann außerdem die Verteilung der Öffnungen über die Leitfläche ungleichmäßig sein.According to a particularly simple embodiment of the invention can the nozzles through openings in a the guide surface forming wall and in one facing away from the guide surface Side of the wall arranged valve element is formed be in one or more directions of extension of the Wall is movable relative to the wall, being in one position of the valve element, the openings in the wall and in the valve element at least partially overlap each other. The Openings in the wall and in the valve element can be congruent and arranged so that by moving the valve element around a certain one Amount the size of the passage cross section of all of that Valve element formed nozzles experience the same change can. Interacting openings in the wall and in the Valve elements can also differ in size and shape deviate so that with a certain movement of the valve element, the nozzles formed by the openings different changes in their passage cross-section Experienced. For zone-by-zone adjustment of the blowing or suction air to the requirements of the sheet guide can also Uneven distribution of openings over the guide surface his.

Anstelle eines einzigen Ventilelements können erfindungsgemäß auch zwei oder mehr Ventilelemente übereinander angeordnet sein, die Öffnungen haben, die zumindest in einer Stellung der Ventilelemente sich miteinander und mit den Öffnungen der Wand überschneiden.Instead of a single valve element according to the invention also two or more valve elements arranged one above the other be that have openings that are at least in one Position of the valve elements with each other and with Overlap the openings in the wall.

Die erfindungsgemäße Düsengestaltung eignet sich sowohl für ebene als auch für gekrümmte Leitflächen. Ist die Leitfläche und damit sowohl die Wand als auch das Ventilelement eben ausgeführt, so kann an Stelle einer linearen Einstellbewegung auch eine Drehung des Ventilelements um eine zur Leitflächenebene senkrechte Achse zweckmässig sein.The nozzle design according to the invention is suitable for both flat as well as for curved guide surfaces. Is the guide surface and thus both the wall and the valve element just executed, so instead of a linear adjustment movement also a rotation of the valve element by one Vertical axis should be appropriate.

Zum Anschluß der Düsen an eine Blasluft- oder Saugluftquelle kann auf der der Leitfläche abgekehrten Seite der Wand ein Luftkasten angebracht sein, dessen Innenraum durch die Wand begrenzt wird und der das Ventilelement aufnimmt. Der Luftkasten kann Führungen für das Ventilelement aufweisen und mit Axialventilatoren zur Luftversorgung der Düsen ausgerüstet sein.For connecting the nozzles to a blast air or suction air source can be on the side of the Wall an air box can be attached, the interior of which the wall is limited and which receives the valve element. The air box can have guides for the valve element and with axial fans to supply air to the nozzles be equipped.

Die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung der Düsen ermöglicht auf einfache Weise eine strömungstechnisch optimierte Anordnung verknüpft mit einer Blas- oder Saugdruckniveauregulierung durch eine auch nur partiell mögliche Änderung des Durchtrittsquerschnitts der Düsen. Durch eine lineare oder drehende Bewegung des Ventilelements kann das Druckniveau über der Leitfläche komplett oder partiell an die Erfordernisse der Bogenführung angepasst und duch gleichmäßige Druck- bzw. Unterdruckverteilung eine bessere Bogenführung erreicht werden.The design of the nozzles according to the invention enables a flow-optimized arrangement in a simple manner linked to a blowing or suction pressure level regulation through a change in the passage cross-section that is only partially possible of the nozzles. By a linear or rotating Movement of the valve element can exceed the pressure level the guiding surface completely or partially to the requirements adapted to the sheet guidance and by uniform pressure or vacuum distribution a better sheet guidance can be achieved.

Die in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellte Druckmaschine weist mehrere in Reihe angeordnete Druckwerke 1 auf, von denen jeweils der Plattenzylinder 2, der Gummituchzylinder 3 und der doppelt große Druckzylinder 4 wiedergegeben sind. Zwischen den Druckwerken erfolgt der Transport der Bogen jeweils über Transfertrommeln 5 oder wenn eine Möglichkeit zur Bogenwendung besteht über eine Wendetrommel 6. Vom Druckzylinder des letzten Druckwerks werden die Bogen durch ein Kettengreifersystem 7 eines Auslegers 8 zu einem Auslegerstapel 9 transportiert. An den Transfertrommeln 5, der Wendetrommel 6 und dem Kettengreifersystem 7 sind jeweils Bogenführungseinrichtungen 10 angeordnet, die für eine abschmierfreie Bogenführung der bedruckten Bogen sorgen. Die Bogenführungseinrichtungen 10 haben je nach Verlauf des Bogentransportwegs gekrümmte oder ebene Leitflächen 11, an denen die Bogen entlangbewegt werden. Durch das Zuführen oder Absaugen von Luft über in den Leitflächen 11 angeordnete Düsen wird eine berührungsfreie Bogenführung erreicht.The printing press shown schematically in FIG. 1 has several in series arranged printing units 1, of which each of the plate cylinder 2, the blanket cylinder 3 and the double-large impression cylinder 4 are shown. Between the sheets are transported to the printing units each via transfer drums 5 or if possible for turning, there is a turning drum 6. From Printing cylinders of the last printing unit are through the sheets a chain gripper system 7 of a boom 8 to a boom stack 9 transported. On the transfer drums 5, the Reversing drum 6 and the chain gripper system 7 are each Sheet guiding devices 10 arranged for a Lubrication-free sheet guidance of the printed sheets ensures. Depending on the course of the Arch transport path curved or flat guide surfaces 11 which the arches are moved along. By feeding or aspirating air via arranged in the guide surfaces 11 Nozzle-free sheet guidance is achieved.

Eine Ausführungsform einer Bogenführungseinrichtung 10 mit ebener Leitfläche 11 ist in den Figuren 2 bis 4 dargestellt. Diese Bogenführungseinrichtung 10 besteht aus einer beispielsweise aus einem Blech hergestellten, ebenen Wand 12, deren Oberseite die Leitfläche 11 bildet. Die Wand 12 weist in strömungstechnisch optimierter Anordnung eine Anzahl kreisrunder Löcher 13 auf. Auf der Unterseite der Wand 12 ist ein Luftkasten 14 angebracht. An dem Boden des Luftkastens 14 befinden sich mehrere Axialventilatoren 15, durch die entweder Luft in den Luftkasten 14 hineingedrückt oder aus diesem abgesaugt werden kann. In dem Luftkasten 14 ist unmittelbar unter der Wand 12 auf Führungsschienen 16 ein plattenförmiges, rechteckiges Ventilelement 17 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 18 bewegbar angeordnet. Das Ventilelement 17 weist in gleicher Anordnung und gleicher Größe wie die Wand 12 kreisrunde Löcher 19 auf, die in der in Figur 2 gezeigten Position des Ventilelements 17 sich mit den Löchern 13 in der Wand 12 vollständig überschneiden. Die Löcher 13 in der Wand 12 und die Löcher 19 im Ventilelement 17 bilden gemeinsam Düsen 20, durch die die Luft aus dem Innenraum des Luftkastens 14 austreten bzw. in diesen eingesaugt werden kann. Der Durchtrittsquerschnitt dieser Düsen 20 hat bei vollständiger Überschneidung der Löcher 13 und 19 seine maximale Größe. An embodiment of a sheet guiding device 10 with flat guide surface 11 is shown in Figures 2 to 4. This sheet guiding device 10 consists of a for example, a flat wall made of sheet metal 12, the top of which forms the guide surface 11. The wall 12 has a flow-optimized arrangement Number of circular holes 13. On the bottom of the Wall 12 has an air box 14 attached to it. At the bottom of the Air box 14 there are several axial fans 15, through which either air is pressed into the air box 14 or can be sucked out of this. In the air box 14 is directly under the wall 12 on guide rails 16th a plate-shaped, rectangular valve element 17 in the direction of the double arrow 18 movably arranged. The valve element 17 has the same arrangement and size like the wall 12 on circular holes 19 in the in Figure 2 shown position of the valve element 17 itself completely overlap the holes 13 in the wall 12. The holes 13 in the wall 12 and the holes 19 in the valve element 17 together form nozzles 20 through which the air emerge from or into the interior of the air box 14 can be sucked in. The passage cross section of this Nozzles 20 has a complete overlap Holes 13 and 19 its maximum size.

Zur Anpassung des durch die Düsen 20 hindurchtretenden Blasluft- oder Saugluftstroms an die von der Druckgeschwindigkeit, dem Bedruckstoff und dem Drucksujet abhängigen Anforderungen der Bogenführung kann das Ventilelement 17 mit Hilfe eines Motors 21 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 18 verstellt werden. Durch eine solche Verstellung des Ventilelements 17 werden die Löcher 19 gegenüber den Löchern 13 verschoben, wie in Figur 4 veranschaulicht. Die Löcher 13 und 19 überschneiden bei der in Figur 4 gezeigten Stellung des Ventilelement 17 nur noch teilweise, so daß der Durchtrittsquerschnitt der Düsen 20 erheblich verringert ist. Auf diese Weise kann das Druckniveau der Luft in dem Zwischenraum zwischen der Leitfläche 11 und einem an dieser vorbeigeführten Bogen an die Bedürfnisse der Bogenführung angepasst werden.To adjust the passage through the nozzles 20 Blown air or suction air flow to that of the printing speed, dependent on the substrate and the print subject The valve element 17 with the help of a motor 21 in the direction of the double arrow 18 be adjusted. By such an adjustment of the valve element 17 the holes 19 are opposite the holes 13 shifted, as illustrated in Figure 4. The holes 13 and 19 overlap in the position shown in FIG of the valve element 17 only partially, so that the passage cross section the nozzle 20 is significantly reduced. In this way, the pressure level of the air in the space between the guide surface 11 and one on this passed arches to the needs of arch guidance be adjusted.

Bei dem in Figur 4 gezeigten Beispiel wurde das Ventilelement 17 nur in einer Richtung verstellt. Die Verkleinerung des Durchtrittsquerschnitts ist daher bei allen Düsen 20 gleich. Wird das Ventilelement 17 jedoch zusätzlich um eine zur Leitfläche senkrechte Achse gedreht, so ergeben an den einzelnen Düsen unterschiedliche Durchtrittsquerschnitte. Auf diese Weise ist es auch möglich das Druckniveau über der Leitfläche 11 partiell unterschiedlich zu beeinflussen.In the example shown in Figure 4, the valve element 17 only adjusted in one direction. The downsizing of the passage cross section is therefore 20 for all nozzles equal. However, the valve element 17 is additionally one axis turned perpendicular to the guiding surface, so yield to the different nozzle cross-sections. In this way it is also possible to set the pressure level above to influence the guide surface 11 partially differently.

Eine andere Möglichkeit zur partiell unterschiedlichen Einstellung des Durchtrittsquerschnitts der Düsen 20 wird mit dem in Figur 5 gezeigten Lochbild eines Ventilelements 17 ermöglicht. Hierbei sind neben den Löchern 19, die in ihrer Größe und Anordnung in einer Stellung des Ventilelements 17 mit Löchern 13 in der Wand 12 deckungsgleich sind, Löcher 22 vorgesehen, die einen Größeren Querschnitt und teilweise eine andere, nämlich ovale Form haben. Hierdurch ergibt sich bei einer Bewegung des Ventilelements 17 gegenüber der Wand 12 an den Löchern 19 eine andere Änderung des Durchtrittsquerschnitts als an den Löchern 22. Auf diese Weise kann die Steuerung der Blas- oder Saugluft zonenweise unterschiedlich gestaltet werden.Another possibility for partially different attitudes of the passage cross section of the nozzles 20 is with the hole pattern of a valve element 17 shown in FIG. 5 allows. Here are in addition to the holes 19 in their Size and arrangement in one position of the valve element 17 are congruent with holes 13 in the wall 12, holes 22 provided a larger cross section and partially another, namely oval shape. This gives itself when the valve element 17 moves relative to the Wall 12 at the holes 19 another change in the passage cross section than at holes 22. That way can control the blowing or suction air zone by zone be designed differently.
