Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the patent application filed by König & Bauer Public Company Limited, with application number 202080026410.7, entitled "Sheet-forming machine and method for driving at least one tool for sheet-forming machine", which entered the Chinese national phase on September 29, 2021 (international application date: October 29, 2020, international application number: PCT / EP2020 / 080389). Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to a sheet-fed paper processing machine. Background Technology

[0003] In packaging manufacturing, sheet-like or single-sheet materials are used. In multiple processing steps, these sheets are, for example, printed, embossed, slotted, perforated, die-cut, slit, bound, glued, and folded, for example, into packages. To optimize the full utilization of a single sheet's area, multiple identical or different proofs, such as posters, folding boxes, or packages, are printed on a common sheet and then die-cut. These proofs are called print sheets.

[0004] Sheet-fed processing machines can include various processing steps such as printing, cutting, embossing, slotting, punching, perforation, gluing, and / or binding. These sheet-fed processing machines typically also have inspection devices. Generally, sheets are processed and properly cut in processing machines equipped with punching and cutting devices related to forming.

[0005] Such processing machines are designed, for example, as punching machines, cutting machines, perforating machines, embossing machines, and / or slotting machines. When such processing machines are referred to below as punching machines and / or punchers, they specifically refer to cutting machines, perforating machines, embossing machines, and / or slotting machines. Here, in systems related to shaping, in addition to rotary punching machines, there are flat punching machines, especially flatbed punching machines. In these processes, multiple sheets of paper are processed sequentially through cyclical, repetitive motions. Preferably, the sheets of paper are moved largely horizontally through the processing machine using a conveying system, preferably a chain gripper system. In addition to the punching assembly, such machines typically have other assemblies, such as sheet-fed pusher assemblies, sheet-fed take-up assemblies, breaking assemblies, sheet-fed insertion assemblies, sheet separation assemblies, and residual section take-up assemblies. The sheet-fed pusher assembly is preferably designed to transfer the sheets to the conveying system. Furthermore, for example, the sheets are aligned in the sheet-fed pusher assembly.

[0006] EP3294555B1 relates to a printing apparatus for a printing press using a screen printing method. A squeegee is arranged inside the printing cylinder. The contact and separation movements of the squeegee are mechanically independent of the rotary drive mechanism via a drive mechanism of the drive unit. Another drive mechanism changes the squeegee angle. Here, other drive mechanisms achieve the pivoting of a lever arm, which carries the squeegee carrier and thereby pivots the squeegee, via a transmission device.

[0007] EP3492229A1 discloses an apparatus for processing digital printing paper webs, comprising a perforating tool for perforating the paper web and a cutting tool and a mating tool for cutting individual sheets of printing. The cutting and perforating tools share a common tool carrier that can be moved to two working positions for use with either the cutting or perforating tool. The tool carrier is connected to the drive shaft of a third drive motor via a crank drive mechanism. The crank drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the drive motor into pivoting motion of the tool carrier between the two working positions.

[0008] DE7309617U1 teaches a machine for processing single sheets of paper, which has a spur gear drive for driving the punching cylinder of the punching press and a feeding drive for adjusting the rotational speed of the chain links.

[0009] DE1 012497A teaches a central lubricant system for supplying lubricant to multiple lubrication points. Two annular lines with parallel dispensing valves are connected to a lubricant source and loaded via a switching valve driven by lubricant pressure. A pressure regulating valve is connected between the last dispensing valve and the switching valve to regulate the pressure that switches the switching valve.

[0010] A drive mechanism for a gripper chain of a machine for processing single sheets of paper is known from DE1561132B. This drive mechanism includes a cam drive.

[0011] DE102010024778A1 discloses a sheet-fed paper cutting machine having a stacking station and a cutting station. For separating printed sheets, a liftable upper tool and a matching liftable lower tool are provided. The upper and lower tools are temporarily mechanically connected by a connecting device.

[0012] DE1045778B relates to an automatic die-cutting machine for single-sheet paper materials, having a paper pushing section, a working section, two sections for removing waste material, and a stacking section. An eccentric wheel is used to move a linkage that, via a connected pivoting rod, lifts a template in a first position for removing waste material and an impression die in a second position for removing waste material from the lower frame. Summary of the Invention

[0013] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sheet-fed paper processing machine.

[0014] The advantages achievable by this invention include, in particular, that the processing machine has at least one drive unit connected to at least one breaking drive shaft via at least one transmission unit. The at least one breaking drive shaft is designed to drive at least one breaking tool of at least one breaking device of at least one breaking assembly of the processing machine and / or at least one sheet separating tool of at least one sheet separating device of at least one sheet separating assembly of the processing machine. At least one rear transmission unit is advantageously arranged after the at least one transmission unit. The at least one rear transmission unit advantageously contacts the at least one breaking drive shaft. The at least one rear transmission unit advantageously engages with at least one breaking tool of at least one breaking assembly and / or at least one sheet separating tool of at least one sheet separating assembly. The at least one rear transmission unit is advantageously designed to convert at least one rotary motion into at least one reciprocating motion. Advantageously, at least one tool of the processing machine is driven. The at least one rear transmission unit arranged after the at least one transmission unit advantageously converts at least one rotary motion into at least one reciprocating motion.

[0015] At least one rear-mounted drive is advantageously designed as a cam drive. This preferably saves space and / or simplifies the transmission of torque and / or force. It preferably enables the driving of at least one tool, preferably at least one breaking tool, and / or at least one sheet-separating tool, at a rate of, for example, at least 5000 (five thousand) sheets / hour, preferably at least 7000 (seven thousand) sheets / hour, more preferably at least 8000 (eight thousand) sheets / hour. The design as a cam drive preferably improves the processing accuracy of individual sheets, preferably because at least one cam disc can be accurately detected and therefore the torque and / or force to be transmitted is preferably adjusted according to the current machine cycle. Wear on at least one rear-mounted drive is preferably minimized, for example, by designing it as a cam drive. Preferably, the design as a cam drive is cost-effective.

[0016] Advantageously, at least one breaking tool and at least one sheet separation tool are connected to at least one breaking drive shaft via at least one common transmission element. The at least one transmission element is advantageously designed to perform at least one reciprocating motion. Advantageously, at least one breaking tool and at least one sheet separation tool are connected to at least one drive unit via at least one common transmission element, preferably designed as an upper transmission element. This advantageously ensures that at least one breaking tool and at least one sheet separation tool operate synchronously. Preferably, additional synchronization between the tools is eliminated. Preferably, the movement of each tool, especially its processing of individual sheets, is synchronized through coupling. Apart from the conveying movement of the chain conveyor system, the movement of the tools is preferably synchronized. Preferably, particularly through the breaking assembly and the sheet separation assembly, the accuracy of at least one sheet registration is improved.

[0017] Advantageously, at least one drive system of the processing machine includes at least one drive unit, at least one transmission unit, and at least one rear-mounted transmission unit. The at least one drive system is advantageously designed to save space in such a way that at least one transmission unit and at least one rear-mounted transmission unit are arranged on at least one forming assembly. This advantageously achieves a compact design of the drivetrain.

[0018] At least one reciprocating motion is advantageously capable of being transmitted to at least one tool and / or to at least one tool, which is designed to move reciprocally and / or linearly. The drive system is advantageously designed to generate mechanical vibration only in one transport direction. The connection between at least one drive unit and at least one tool of the processing machine is advantageously designed to dampen vibration. The connection between at least one drive unit and at least one tool of the processing machine is advantageously designed to dampen mechanical vibration at least in the transverse direction. This ensures smooth and accurate registration processing of single sheets of paper.

[0019] Advantageously, at least one rear-mounted transmission device is under compressive stress when connected to at least one breaking tool and / or at least one sheet separation tool. Advantageously, at least one detection rod is continuously resting on at least one cam disc of the rear-mounted transmission device. At least one movement of at least one transmission element is advantageously superimposed with the force generated by at least one tensioning element, thereby advantageously facilitating the closure of at least one breaking tool and / or at least one sheet separation tool.

[0020] The processing machine is advantageously designed as a blanking machine, particularly a flat blanking machine. Advantageously, the processing machine includes at least one central lubrication system. This lubrication system is advantageously designed to guide at least one lubricant from at least one lubricant source and / or from at least one lubricant reservoir to at least two assemblies. Advantageously, depending on consumption and / or need at the respective lubrication points, lubricant is guided and / or distributed to the respective lubrication points, particularly within the respective assemblies, via the at least one lubrication system. The economy of the blanking machine is improved by the at least one central lubrication system. In particular, lubricant can be saved. Based on the arrangement of at least one drive unit and at least one rear-mounted drive unit, lubrication, independent of the lubrication system, is advantageously required only in the area of ​​the gears, i.e., on the forming assembly. Advantageously, at least one drive system and / or additional drive units and / or moving parts of the blanking machine, located outside at least one housing, have at least one lubrication mechanism for lubrication via the at least one lubrication system. The compactness of the blanking machine is advantageously improved because, for example, an additional housing for the lubricating oil baths of the various components of the blanking machine is eliminated. Therefore, the various assemblies of the punching machine are advantageously more accessible, for example, for maintenance and / or cleaning work.

[0021] The processing machine advantageously includes at least one paper pusher with at least one conveying mechanism having at least one drive, and at least one device equipped with at least one detection sensor. Advantageously, the sheet processing machine also includes at least one sensor device having at least two sensors arranged at the alignment position of the sheet.

[0022] At least by advantageously adjusting and / or controlling at least one conveying mechanism, particularly based on at least one signal from at least one detection sensor, it is ensured that an advantageously flexible and / or rapid response is made to errors, such as the guidance of individual sheets along the conveying path and / or the position of individual sheets on the conveying path.

[0023] Specifically, for example, when at least one sheet in the pusher stack is moved to another sheet and / or when the pusher stack is arranged differently from its preferred position on the processing machine, positional errors of the sheets in the pusher may occur. Advantageously, at least one coarse alignment and / or at least one fine alignment of the sheets in the device are designed to correct for possible positional errors of the sheets O2. If, in an advantageous embodiment, the processing machine includes at least one detection sensor and at least one sensor device, the corresponding sheets can be advantageously coarsely aligned at least according to the transport direction based on the detection by at least one detection sensor, and after performing this coarse alignment, fine alignment can be performed based on the detection by at least two sensors of the sensor device. Advantageously, when the relevant sheet reaches the alignment position, the sheet is also coarsely aligned in its inclined position or perpendicular to the transport direction. Thus, the workload of fine alignment is advantageously reduced by the additional coarse alignment before the alignment position.

[0024] By advantageously aligning individual sheets of paper at least according to the transport direction using at least one conveying mechanism, the arrival time of the relevant individual sheet at the alignment position is advantageously ensured, which corresponds to a rated arrival time. It is advantageous to complete the full alignment of the corresponding individual sheet in its position and / or orientation on the transport path within the available time. In particular, the full alignment of the corresponding individual sheet in its position and / or orientation on the transport path can be completed within the available time without interrupting or stopping the processing machine.

[0025] Advantageously, at least one feeding system ensures accurate feeding of the corresponding, preferably at least one, sheet from the paper pusher assembly to at least one assembly processing the sheet. Advantageously, the sheet, preferably at least one, is aligned before the transfer position, and at the transfer position, it is transferred from at least one feeding system to at least one subsequent conveying system in an aligned manner.

[0026] The process of positioning at least one sheet of paper in an aligned position, particularly on at least two front markings, advantageously reduces and / or minimizes sheet positioning errors. Therefore, it is preferable that at least one sheet of paper is roughly aligned, particularly in relation to its position relative to at least one conveying mechanism of at least one feeding system, preferably at least one gripper. Consequently, it is advantageous that at least one sheet of paper is held, particularly after positioning, by at least one conveying mechanism in the non-printed area of ​​the paper, so that any printed images and / or the surface of the sheet of paper, if necessary, can be protected during the holding and / or conveying of the sheet of paper by at least one conveying mechanism.

[0027] The sheet is conveyed from the alignment position to the transfer position by at least one movement along the sheet conveying path via at least one conveying mechanism, particularly by at least one cam drive of the feed system, and more preferably by a double cam drive of the feed system. The at least one cam drive is advantageously connected to at least one drive shaft, which is driven by, in particular, the central drive of the sheet processing machine.

[0028] Advantageously, at least one drive shaft and at least one holding element of the conveying system following at least one conveying mechanism are preferably driven and / or mechanically connected to each other via a central drive, particularly of a sheet-fed processing machine, thereby ensuring that at least one conveying mechanism and at least one holding element of the conveying system following that conveying mechanism are coordinated and / or coordinable relative to each other, particularly in time. This coordination of at least one conveying mechanism and at least one holding element of the conveying system following that conveying mechanism, particularly in time, prevents, advantageously, collisions between related components, particularly due to, for example, electrical faults, during the movement of at least one conveying mechanism and / or at least one holding element of the conveying system.

[0029] Advantageously, during the transfer from the alignment position to the handover position, the aforementioned, preferably at least one sheet of paper is finely aligned. Advantageously, fine alignment is performed at least with respect to positional errors of the sheet, preferably at least with respect to positional errors of the sheet in the transfer direction and / or with respect to the tilt position of the sheet and / or particularly with respect to lateral positional errors when the sheet is displaced perpendicular to the transfer direction.

[0030] The feeding system advantageously has at least two cam drives arranged parallel to each other along the conveying direction and located on at least one, preferably common, drive shaft. Preferably, each cam drive of the feeding system is equipped with at least one adjusting drive. Advantageously, at least one adjusting drive is controlled and / or adjusted at least for compensation of the tilt position of a single sheet of paper. Furthermore, at least two adjusting drives are controlled and / or adjusted at least for compensation of positional errors in the conveying direction.

[0031] Other advantages can be seen from the following description. Attached Figure Description

Alternatively, the corresponding printed mark 11 is preferably composed of at least two, preferably all, of the printing inks used. At least one printed mark 11 is preferably designed as a rectangle, more preferably as a square. For example, as an alternative, at least one printed mark 11 is designed as a dot or a circle. If at least one printed mark 11 has at least one straight edge or side, especially if it is designed as a rectangle and / or a square, it is preferable to evaluate the at least one printed mark 11 quickly and easily. At least one printed mark 11 is preferably filled with printing ink, such as black. At least one side and / or axis of at least one printed mark 11 is preferably arranged parallel to the front edge 07 of at least one sheet of paper 02 and / or parallel to the transverse direction A. At least one side and / or axis of at least one printed mark 11 is preferably arranged parallel to the side edge 09 of at least one sheet of paper 02 and / or parallel to the transport direction T. If at least one printed mark 11 is designed as, for example, a rectangle, preferably a square, then at least one side is preferably arranged parallel to the transport direction T and at least one side is arranged parallel to the transverse direction A. If at least one printed mark 11 is designed as a cross, for example, at least one axis, such as a longitudinal axis, is preferably arranged parallel to the transport direction T, and at least one axis, such as a transverse axis, is preferably arranged parallel to the transverse direction A. At least one printed mark 11 preferably implements multiple measurement points for evaluating the positional information of at least one sheet of paper 02. The arrangement of at least one printed mark 11 and / or its rectangular, preferably square, design and / or cross-shaped design preferably increases the accuracy of the evaluation of at least one printed mark 11. At least one printed mark 11 preferably has a thickness of at least 1.5 mm. 2 (1.5 mm²), more preferably at least 1.8 mm² 2 (1.8 square millimeters), further preferably at least 1.9 mm 2 (1.9 square millimeters), further preferably at least 2.5 mm 2 An area of ​​2.5 square millimeters.

Preferably, this achieves optimal detection of at least one printed mark 11 because the blurring of the edge region of the printed mark 11 is minimized and / or because the surface produces sufficient contrast with its surroundings.

[0152] At least one printing mark 11 is preferably designed such that the position of at least one sheet of paper 02 in the transport direction T and / or the transverse direction A is determined and / or can be determined and / or is determined by at least one printing mark 11. Preferably, the position of at least one sheet of paper 02 in the transport direction T and the transverse direction A is determined and / or can be determined and / or is determined by at least one printing mark 11.

For example, at least two printing marks 11 are sufficient and / or, in addition to at least two printing marks 11, additional printing marks 11, such as lateral printing marks 11, are preferably not required to determine the position of at least one sheet of paper 02, particularly in the lateral direction A.

[0153] In the context, the distance between two faces, two points, a face and a point, or a direction and another element represents the shortest connection between the two elements.

[0154] For example, a single sheet of paper 02, preferably at least one, to be conveyed by the paper pusher assembly 200 has at least one positional error when it reaches the alignment position PA. The positional error of the single sheet of paper 02 manifests as a deviation of its positioning along the conveying path from its nominal positioning. This is, for example, when the actual arrival time of the leading edge 07 and / or at least one printed mark 11 of the single sheet of paper 02 at the alignment position PA deviates from the expected and / or required arrival time of the leading edge 07 and / or at least one printed mark 11. For example, if the single sheet of paper 02 arrives at the alignment position PA later than the expected and / or required time, its leading edge 07 and / or the associated at least one printed mark 11 will be ahead of its expected and / or required position in the conveying direction T at the expected and / or required time. For example, if the single sheet of paper 02 is tilted, the positional error of the single sheet of paper 02 also exists. For example, if sheet 02 is in an inclined position, its front edge 07 has an angle greater than 0° (zero degrees) with the transverse direction A and / or its side edge 09 has an angle greater than 0° (zero degrees) with the transport direction T. If sheet 02 is inclined, at least two printed marks 11 arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart along the front edge 07 of sheet 02 have coordinates different from each other along the transport direction T. Therefore, at least one of the relevant printed marks 11 is arranged in front of at least one other printed mark 11 in the transport direction T. Lateral positioning errors also exist, especially when sheet 02 is displaced in the transverse direction A relative to its set and / or desired position.

[0155] The corresponding sheet 02, preferably at least one sheet 02, is roughly aligned by at least two front markings 203 arranged horizontally parallel to each other in the conveying direction T of the sheet 02. This rough alignment results in a reduction of positional errors relative to the expected and / or required positioning of the sheet 02 because the sheet 02 encounters at least two front markings 203 in the alignment position PA. During the rough alignment, the sheet 02 is preferably fixed at least in the vertical direction V, particularly by at least one conveying mechanism 204.
