Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to drives of a reel changer.
  • the drive includes at least one electric motor which drives a material reel, held in the reel changer, in a rotational manner.
  • EP 1 155 987 A2 discloses a reel changer for a printing press. To drive the supply reels in this reel changer, three-phase asynchronous motors, general rotary current motors or alternating current motors, universal motors, or direct current motors are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, the supply reels may be driven only on one side of the supply reel. The supply reel is mounted on the opposite side, without a drive, in a rotational support.
  • DE 102 24 839 A1 also discloses a drive for a reel changer for a printing press.
  • EP 1 460 010 A2 discloses a machine having an electric motor, which is preferably embodied as a synchronous motor and which is used to directly drive a winding core of a wound reel.
  • DE 1 599 036 discloses a winding device having a spreader head comprised of segments.
  • the segments are arranged in the shape of a ring around a rotatable roll shaft which is provided with cam surfaces. In the case of axial displacement relative to the roll shaft, the segments may be moved in a radial direction towards or away from the axis of the shaft.
  • the segments are held in their spread position by a spring which is working in the axial direction.
  • These segments may be released from their spread position by the use of a pressurized piston that acts against the force of the spring in the opposite direction.
  • EP 0 981 443 B1 discloses a hollow shaft motor of a rotating cylinder or of a roll in a rotary printing press.
  • EP 1 155 987 A2 discusses a drive for a reel changer and having at least one motor as the central drive of a paper reel.
  • the rotational momentum or the drive force of the motor is transferred to the core of a paper reel by tension pins.
  • WO 02/24564 A1 describes an adjusting element for a tension shaft in a reel changer.
  • a core may be fixed on the tension shaft.
  • pressure springs are used to push knee levers outwardly in the direction of clamping jaws that have been provided.
  • An adjusting element may be displaced, in an axial direction, in a hollow shaft by a fluid-driven piston to activate the clamping jaws, such that the clamping jaws are pressed outwards and thereby fix the core into place.
  • an ejector device is arranged on the tension shaft. The ejector device is mounted on the hollow shaft in an axially displaceable fashion and rotates, along with the hollow shaft, around a central axis in a housing.
  • WO 99/55533 discloses a roller or cylinder of a printing press that is driven by an electric motor with permanent magnets.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide drives for a reel changer of a printing press.
  • a drive for a reel changer that includes at least one electric motor.
  • a material reel that is held in the reel changer on a receiving unit, and upon which a material web may be wound, may be driven in a rotational manner by the electric motor which is embodied as a synchronous motor.
  • the motor may have a drive shaft which is in a coaxial central position relative to the receiving unit.
  • This drive shaft may be a hollow shaft.
  • the receiving unit may have radially movable clamping jaws.
  • One advantage of the drive lies especially in the fact that a field-suppressible synchronous motor is provided.
  • Such synchronous motors have an extraordinarily broad output spectrum and may be produced in a cost-effective fashion. Due to their motor characteristics, such synchronous motors are particularly suitable for use in driving reel changers of a printing press.
  • driving cones are normally provided. These driving cones engage the interior of the core of a supply reel such that rotational momentum may be transmitted to the supply reel. These cones are driven by the drive shaft of the electric motor which is provided for driving purposes.
  • the drive shaft of the synchronous motor to be able to engage in the supply reel, and in particular in the core of the supply reel, such that rotational momentum may be transferred from the motor.
  • the drive cone is disposed directly on the armature of the synchronous motor, and in particular is disposed on the armature in a rigid manner.
  • Carrier elements on the drive shaft which are provided for the transfer of rotational momentum, should preferably be connected to the drive shaft in a rigid manner, and most preferably as one piece. In this manner, it is possible to omit additional, extremely expensive adjustment mechanisms that would otherwise be necessary for adjusting the carrier elements.
  • One particular advantage of the reel changer in accordance with the present invention which is driven only on one side by the use of an electric motor, lies in the fact that the opposite side, drive-free rotational support is also able to accept axial forces along the central axis of the supply reel, in particular while placing the reel on the axis. As a result, it is thus possible, in particular, for the axial support on the side of the electric motor to have a correspondingly weaker construction.
  • the receptacles which are adapted for storing the supply reel, should preferably have the same construction on both sides of the supply reel so that costs may be saved by using identical parts. Both receptacles should be rotationally mounted, with only one receptacle being driven by the synchronous motor.
  • a further advantage of the present invention particularly lies in combining the generally already known virtues of a tensile receiving shaft with the advantages of a direct central drive of a supply reel. In this manner, the component cost, as well as the complexity of the machine are reduced.
  • the device of the present invention overall is more compact and simpler than prior devices, while maintaining at least an equally high level of functionality.
  • On the receiving shaft there is a fixing device that may be set to either a work position or an idle position in order to either fix the core of a supply reel in the receiving position or to release it again.
  • the rotational drive momentum is transferred to the supply reel through a hollow shaft which is provided as a motor drive shaft, and which is preferably embodied as one piece with the receiving unit.
  • the process of fixing the reel onto the receiving unit may be activated by the use of an adjustment element that is axially mounted in the hollow shaft.
  • the hollow shaft has recesses in which a spring element is disposed.
  • the spring element ensures that a core tension acts on the adjustment element so that the adjustment element guides the fixing device back into an idle position that fixes the supply reel in place.
  • An activation device is arranged on the adjustment element, on a side that is opposite to the receiving unit in an axial position. This activation device switches the adjustment element into a working position, which releases the supply reel.
  • a decoupled arrangement is provided, in the idle position, between the fixed activation device and the adjustment element that rotates with the hollow shaft and which is due to a distance that arises between these two components. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent friction between the fixed activation device and the rotating adjustment element.
  • the activation device is diaphragm or a membrane cylinder that is disposed in an extended axial direction of the adjustment element.
  • the activation device is a lever mechanism with a lever arm that may be activated by a diaphragm cylinder which is disposed in a parallel axis orientation with respect to the electric motor.
  • Two receiving shafts for use in guiding a supply reel, may each have an electric motor as a drive. In this manner, the rotational momentum output, which would otherwise be required from one electric motor, is divided between two electric motors, which two electric motors can therefore each have smaller dimensions.
  • An ejector unit for use in removing the material reel from the receiving unit, may be disposed in the axial direction and concentric to the receiving unit.
  • the adjustment element may be used. More preferably, pneumatic cylinders may be provided and which are embodied parallel to the central axis.

  • the reel core receiving shaft 05 is a tensioning spindle 05 and has adjustable clamping jaws 26 as its fixing element 26 , which adjustable clamping jaws 26 are shown abstractly and symbolically as a cone in FIG. 7 . By use of the clamping jaws 26 , a reel core 27 of a supply reel 02 may be fixed into place on the reel core receiving shaft 05 .
  • An adjustment element 29 is located in the hollow shaft 04 .
  • the adjustment element 29 preferably is an actuating shaft 29 that is disposed axially to the central axis of the electric motor 03 and that is connected, on its end proximate to the receiving shaft 05 , with the clamping jaws 26 by a mechanism which is generally known in the prior art, as is disclosed, for example, in WO 02/24564 A1.
  • the clamping jaws 26 are either pushed outwards against the reel core 27 or are pulled inwards towards the central axis. The clamping jaws 26 are pulled in when a new supply reel 02 is to be received on the reel core receiving shaft, or when the reel core 27 of the supply reel 02 is to be released from the reel core receiving shaft 05 .
  • the actuating shaft 29 is displaced axially within the hollow drive shaft 04 by an actuation device 30 which is located on the end of shaft 29 facing away from the reel core receiving unit 05 .
  • the actuation device 30 may be any device, which is generally known from the prior art, and that is able to move a body under pressure and/or tension into at least two positions.
  • the actuation device 30 may be a generally known fluid-driven piston that exerts its pressure forces on the actuating shaft 29 in the axial direction and is therefore shown symbolically as an arrow in FIG. 7 .
  • the hollow shaft 04 has a recess 31 generally in the shape of an axial cylinder in which recess 31 disc springs 32 are disposed, and which function as a spring device 32 .
  • the disc springs 32 are constrained by a piston 33 that is connected, in a fixed manner, to the actuating shaft 29 .
  • the disc springs 32 are therefore located in a core-shaped intermediate chamber 31 that is defined, on the side facing the reel core receiving unit or tensioning spindle 05 , by a stop that is fixed in place in the hollow shaft 04 and on the opposite side by the movable piston 33 .
  • the adjustable clamping jaws 26 in the receiving shaft 05 are pushed outwards to the maximum extent. If the piston 33 is pushed into a working position, by the actuation device 30 , and is moved toward the receiving shaft 05 , then the clamping jaws 26 move inwards towards the center axis. The core 27 of a supply reel 02 may then be released by the receiving shaft 05 and a new core 27 may be received.
  • the hollow shaft 04 is rotatably supported in the electric motor 03 by the use of the roller bearing 34 which are depicted schematically in FIG. 7 .
  • FIG. 8 shows a further preferred embodiment of a central drive, which is provided at least on one of two receiving shafts 05 , which are provided for receiving a material reel 02 in a generally known reel changer 01 .
  • FIG. 8 shows a partial cross-sectional view of the electric motor 03 with the hollow shaft 04 .
  • the hollow shaft 04 is mounted in a rotatable fashion, by suitable roller bearings 34 and, at the same time, forms the drive shaft 04 of the electric motor 03 .
  • the previously described tensioning spindle or reel core receiving unit 05 is not shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the previously described piston 33 is screwed onto the adjustment element 29 .
  • the hollow shaft 04 forms a shell-shaped cavity 31 in which the disc springs 32 are disposed. It has been determined to preferably use 45 to 57 disc springs 32 .
  • the piston 33 is pressed into a work setting by an actuation device 30 , in the direction of the receiving shaft 05 , which is not specifically shown in FIG. 8 , in order to pivot the clamping jaws 26 shown in FIG. 7 inwards.
  • the actuation device 30 is disposed axially in the extended direction of the actuating shaft 29 .
  • the actuation device 30 includes a diaphragm or membrane cylinder 35 that is pneumatically activated. This is advantageous because compressed air is usually available in a production environment. In its rest position, when the disc springs 32 are in their relaxed state, the piston 33 and a stop plunger 36 of the diaphragm cylinder 35 do not touch. Thus, friction between the stationary stop plunger 36 and the rotating piston 33 is prevented.
  • a transmitter 37 is connected, by the use of a belt or a toothed chain, to the drive shaft 04 .
  • the transmitter 37 detects the exact position and speed of the electric motor 03 and the electric motor 03 is actuated accordingly. Otherwise, explicit reference is hereby made to the special arrangement shown and to its depiction in the drawings as being essential.
  • FIG. 9 shows the central drive, which is somewhat different, in part, from the arrangement which is shown in FIG. 8 .
  • the actuation device generally at 30 , is embodied as a lever mechanism.
  • a lever arm 38 is activated by a diaphragm or membrane cylinder 35 .
  • the diaphragm cylinder 35 is disposed with an axis which is parallel to the central axis of the electric motor 03 .
  • the lever arm 38 extends transversely over the radius of the electric motor 03 with one extended end.
  • a fixed pivot point is arranged on the outermost radius of the electric motor 03 , and on the shortest end of the lever arm 38 .
  • the lever arm 38 is movable in the axial direction of the electric motor 03 and is displaced by the diaphragm cylinder 35 .
  • a ring or a ball is located on the lever arm and that presses on the piston 33 in order to activate the actuating element 29 , when the lever arm 38 is pivoted by the diaphragm cylinder 35 in the axial direction towards the tensioning spindle 05 .
  • the diaphragm cylinder 35 can have a correspondingly smaller construction than was required in the embodiment in accordance with FIG. 8 . This reduces the production costs and the required fluid pressure for the diaphragm cylinder 35 .
  • Such an arrangement allows for a more compact structure of the central drive than in the embodiment of the present invention in accordance with FIG. 8 .
  • FIG. 10 shows a third preferred embodiment of the central drive in accordance with the present invention.
  • two pneumatic cylinders 39 each with a lift or a displacement of preferably 125 mm, are disposed parallel to the central axis of the electric motor 03 in order to form an ejector unit 40 .
  • the ejector unit 40 pushes the core 27 of the supply reel 02 off of the tensioning spindle or reel core receiving unit 05 , when the supply reel 02 must be changed.
  • the ejector unit 40 is positioned on the central drive in a fixed manner concentrically to the reel core receiving unit 05 and thus does not move together with the supply reel 02 .
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 clearly shows, in cross section, the clamping jaws 26 of the receiving shaft 05 that press radially apart into the core 27 of the supply reel 02 in the radial direction in order to better hold the core 27 in place. Holding the core 27 firmly in place is important because a supply reel 02 may weigh over 1000 kg and thus high rotational momentum can occur.
  • the mechanism pertaining to this sort of clamping jaws 26 is known from prior art and is therefore not shown. Otherwise, the central drive is structured as is depicted in FIGS. 7 to 9 .
  • FIG. 11 is a somewhat schematic depiction of a reel changer with two synchronous motors 03 .
  • the reel changer 01 has two separate pairs of receiving units 05 ; 06 ; 16 , each of which is adapted for receiving one supply reel 02 .
  • this reel changer it is advantageous for the drive of the supply reel 02 to be accomplished by synchronous motors 03 .
  • Both of the depicted pairs of receiving units 05 ; 06 ; 16 may be pivoted around a common pivot axis with two axially coordinated supply reels 02 or scrap reels. This pivot motion is made possible by an actuator 22 .
  • each pair of receiving units 05 ; 06 ; 16 is driven on only one side by the use of one drive motor 03 . It is also possible for both pairs of receiving units 05 ; 06 ; 16 to be disposed on the same side of the reel changer 01 .
  • the adjustment of each of the receiving units 05 ; 06 ; 16 in the axial direction of the supply reel 02 is made by a dedicated actuator 21 , generally as depicted in FIG. 6 .
  • the momentum control of the motors is realized by a digital rotational speed regulator with a limiter.
  • this rotational speed regulator with a target value of 0, prevents the reel from accelerating in an uncontrolled fashion.
  • the speed regulator brakes, and electrically holds the reel, in this case until it is stationary.
  • the web tension can be reduced to a predefined value when the machine is idle.
  • FIG. 13 shows a drive regulation diagram, in accordance with the present invention, by way of example.
