In order to enable the offset printing unit a to perform continuous printing (without intermittent rewinding) and to satisfy the printing unit lengths of different specifications even in the case where the flexo unit and the offset printing unit are connected in series, the offset printing unit is improved in the present embodiment.
The offset printing unit a includes an offset plate cylinder 1, a transfer cylinder 4 and an offset impression cylinder 2, which cooperate to print sheets of paper, and of course, are cured by an offset curing device 59 (e.g., a UV lamp). The offset plate cylinder 1 is sleeved on the offset plate shaft 16, and the transfer printing cylinder 4 is sleeved on the transfer printing shaft 21, so that the offset plate cylinder and the transfer printing cylinder with different external diameter specifications can be replaced on the shafts. A positioning pin and a notch are arranged between the shaft and the roller for mutual positioning and matching, so that no relative sliding between the shaft and the roller is ensured. The elastic layer can also be arranged in the inner hole of the roller, the air hole is arranged on the shaft, the air hole is controlled to blow air through the air source and the air valve, when the roller sleeve is sleeved on the shaft, the air hole of the shaft blows air to expand the elastic layer in the inner hole of the roller, after the roller sleeve is arranged in place, the air hole stops blowing air, and the elastic layer in the inner hole of the roller contracts and is tightly held on the shaft.

For example, the specifications (generally, the outer diameters) of the offset plate cylinder 1 and the transfer printing cylinder 4 are the same or slightly deviated, and the cylinder surface of the transfer printing cylinder 4 can be just matched with one pattern unit (one time relation) on the offset plate cylinder 1; or the cylindrical surface (i.e., the outer circumferential length) of the transfer cylinder 4 may be made to correspond to the pattern elements on the two offset plate cylinders (double relationship). Referring to the drawings, in the present embodiment, the offset plate cylinder and the transfer cylinder having the same specification are selected by using a one-time relationship.
The offset plate cylinder 1 and the transfer printing cylinder 4 are kept in press-contact and opposite-rolling, patterns on the offset plate cylinder are transferred onto the transfer printing cylinder, the offset plate shaft 16 is arranged on the frame wall plate 3 of the offset printing unit in a rotating mode (around the axis line of the offset printing unit), and the offset plate shaft 16 is driven by a motor 13 (such as a servo motor) to rotate and drive the offset plate cylinder on the offset plate shaft to rotate.

In the embodiment, the working principle of the printing unit including the offset printing unit and the flexo printing unit is that under the condition of combined printing of offset printing and flexo printing in series, the specifications of the flexographic plate cylinder of the flexo printing unit, the offset plate cylinder in the offset printing unit and the transfer printing cylinder can be adjusted and replaced, so that a technical basis is provided for realizing continuous printing and meeting the lengths of printing units with different specifications. The transfer printing cylinder and the offset printing plate cylinder are correspondingly matched in outer diameter and are kept in compression joint with each other, and meanwhile the transfer printing cylinder and the offset printing impression cylinder are kept in compression joint with each other, so that when patterns with different lengths are printed, the corresponding offset printing plate cylinder and the corresponding transfer printing cylinder can be replaced, the position of the axis of the transfer printing shaft is adjusted, the transfer printing cylinder and the offset printing plate cylinder are kept in compression joint with each other, the transfer printing cylinder and the offset printing impression cylinder are kept in compression joint with each other, all units of the printed patterns on the web are continuous, the web utilization rate is improved, the web does not need to return, the printing speed and efficiency are effectively improved, the paper tension is stable, and the material feeding is stable. The offset plate cylinder and the flexible plate cylinder are correspondingly matched so that the printing patterns correspond.
If the rack wall plate 3 of the offset printing unit is provided with a curved groove, the curved groove forms a transfer printing shaft running track, the transfer printing shaft 21 of the transfer printing cylinder is arranged on the curved groove through an installation seat, the transfer printing shaft of the transfer printing cylinder is arranged on the installation seat in a rotating mode, the installation seat is arranged on the curved groove in a position adjusting mode, and the position of the shaft axis of the transfer printing shaft on the transfer printing shaft running track is adjusted by adjusting the position of the installation seat on the curved groove.
The operation track 40 of the transfer printing shaft is set to be an arc track, three transfer printing rollers with different specifications and outer diameters are selected, three axis positions of the transfer printing shaft are correspondingly arranged on the arc track, namely the three axis positions correspond to the installation positions of the three transfer printing rollers with different specifications and outer diameters, and the transfer printing rollers at the three axis positions are respectively kept in pressure contact with the offset printing impression roller and are oppositely rolled (ideally kept in an external tangent state). The three axial lead positions can just determine an arc track, and the arc track ensures that the transfer printing cylinders with three specifications can keep pressure-welding and rolling with the offset printing plate cylinder and the offset printing impression cylinder. By applying different pressures to the circular arc locus at other positions in the vicinity of the three axial center positions, the transfer cylinder having an outer diameter of other specifications (other than the three specifications, if any) can be held in pressure-contact with the blanket impression cylinder and the plate cylinder. The maximum outer diameter, the minimum outer diameter and the intermediate outer diameter can be selected from three different specifications of outer diameters, such as 245mm, 145mm and 200mm.
The radial position of the blanket impression cylinder 2 on the frame wall 3 of the offset printing unit is set adjustably, i.e. the radial position of the blanket impression cylinder 2 on the frame wall 3 of the offset printing unit can be adjusted variably. At the home position of the blanket impression cylinder, the home position means that the transfer cylinders located at the three axial line positions are held in press-contact with the blanket impression cylinder at the home position, respectively, before the position adjustment of the blanket impression cylinder. The adjustment arrangement makes it possible to set the central axis of rotation of the blanket impression cylinder 2 on the eccentric sleeve 23, by adjusting the position of the eccentric sleeve on the frame wall 3 of the blanket unit, thereby effecting radial position adjustment of the blanket impression cylinder. By setting the transfer shaft locus 40 to be an arc locus, it is difficult to ensure that the transfer cylinders on the transfer shaft except for the three axial positions of the arc locus are simultaneously held in press-contact with the offset plate cylinder and the offset impression cylinder, and by performing radial external adjustment on the offset impression cylinder, press-contact between the cylinders can be ensured.
The circular arc track may be in the form of a circular arc groove provided in the frame wall 3 of the offset printing unit.

The pressure adjustment can be performed near the three specifications, but the pressure adjustment can hardly maintain the pressure-contact rollers on the transfer shafts at other positions on the circular arc track with the offset plate cylinder and the offset impression cylinder at the same time, so that the pressure-contact rollers between the cylinders can be ensured by adjusting the radial position of the offset impression cylinder on the frame wall 3 of the offset printing unit, adjusting the circular arc track, and changing the printing pressure between the cylinders. For example, the swing arms 5 and 24 are arranged on the frame wall plate 3 of the offset printing unit to swing through the swing arm shaft 22, the radial position of the swing arm shaft 22 on the frame wall plate 3 of the offset printing unit can be adjusted, namely, the radial position of the swing arm shaft 22 on the frame wall plate 3 of the offset printing unit can be changed and adjusted, at the initial position of the swing arm shaft 22, the initial position refers to that before the position adjustment of the swing arm shaft, the transfer cylinders positioned at three axial lead positions are respectively kept in pressure contact with the offset printing cylinder to form a pair of rollers, and the radial position of the swing arm shaft is adjusted, so that the position adjustment of the arc track is performed. The adjustment arrangement can set the swing arm shaft on the eccentric sleeve, and the radial position of the swing arm shaft is adjusted by adjusting the position of the eccentric sleeve on the frame wall plate 3 of the offset printing unit.
