This application is a National Stage under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/EP2017/025145, filed on May 24, 2017, which claims priority to German Patent Application No. 20 2016 102 778.0, filed on May 25, 2016, the contents of all of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The invention relates to a cover bearing system for one end of a sleeve supported in a machine frame, with a bearing block, held on the machine frame, which forms a removal opening for the sleeve, a cover head that forms a bearing for the end of the sleeve and is displace-ably supported on the bearing block in the axial direction of the sleeve, so as to be able to swivel about said axis of the sleeve and extending parallel to said axis, and an actuator system for moving the cover head.
A cover bearing system of this type is described, for example, in WO 2009/074295 A1.
In some rotary printing machines, interchangeable sleeves, such as printing cylinders, screen sleeves and the like, are each pushed onto a carrier bar which protrudes like a cantilever from one side of the mesh frame and on the free end is mounted in a cover bearing system of the type considered here, so that the cover bearing system indirectly also forms a bearing for the sleeve. When the sleeve should be replaced, the cover head of the cover bearing system can be pulled off axially from the carrier rod and then swiveled to the side so that the sleeve can be pulled off the carrier rod. The movements of the cover head can be automated using the actuator system.
The object of the invention is to create a cover bearing system with a simplified actuator system.
This object is achieved according to the invention by the fact that the actuator system has an actuator for the axial movement of the cover head, such that the bearing block and the cover head are engaged with one another by means of a hollow cylinder and a cylinder body displaceable therein, one of which has a guiding contour and the other a body guided by the guiding contour, and that the guiding contour extends linearly in a first section in axial direction and in a second section helically around the axis of the cylinder body.
The linear movement of the cover head generated by the actuator is converted by the helically extending section of the guiding contour into a swiveling movement that is superimposed on the axial linear movement, so that no additional actuator is needed for swiveling the cover head.
Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are given in the subordinate claims.
In the following, an exemplary embodiment is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.
Shown are:
In
The cover bearing system 14 also has a cover head 22 that forms a bearing 24 for the end of the carrier rod 16. The bearing 24 is fixedly mounted on a disc-shaped base body 26 of the cover head 22 that, in the state shown in
When the sleeve 12 should be replaced, the cover head 22 can be removed from the bearing block 20 axially, i.e. in the axial direction of the carrier rod 16 and the sleeve 12, and then swiveled to the side so that the sleeve 12 can be removed axially from the carrier rod 16 and pulled out of the machine frame through the opening 18 and a removal opening 30 of the bearing block. The axially remote and swiveled position of the cover head 22 is shown in
The cover head 22 and the bearing block 20 are in engagement with one another via a hollow cylinder 32 firmly attached to the base body 26 of the cover head and a cylinder body 34 firmly attached to the bearing block 20. The hollow cylinder 32 is displaceable coaxially on the cylinder body 34 and is rotatable about this cylinder body so that the common axis of the hollow cylinder 32 and the cylinder body 34 defines a swivel axis A for the swivel movement of the cover head 22 relative to the bearing block 20.
As shown in
As can be seen in the sectional view in
When the screw 40 is rotated by the motor 38, the engagement of the follower bodies 44 in the grooves of the guiding contour 42 forms a rotational lock for the hollow cylinder 32 so that only the screw rotated by the motor 38 rotates and the cover head 22 moves from the position shown in
As can be seen in
The neutral-point tightening devices 28 can be arranged adjustably on the bearing block 20, can be preloaded in a known manner by springs into the clamping position, and are pneumatically released by means of compressed air when the cover head 22 should be removed from the bearing block 20. The pneumatic actuation of the neutral-point tightening device 28 and the pneumatic drive of the motor 38 enable the cover bearing system 14 to be used also in the explosion-protected area of a printing press.
