Definitions

  • the invention relates to an ink fountain for offset or high-pressure machines with an ink metering device which consists of a large number of metering means which are arranged closely next to one another, are zone-wide and can be adjusted to zonal different ink gap thicknesses, and have support areas which are constantly or directly applied to the ink fountain roller under spring pressure.

  • This known device has a number of advantages, for example the independent, resilient support of each individual metering element on the ink fountain roller enables the ink film thickness of adjacent zones to be controlled without influencing one another. Fluctuations in the ink film thickness due to the ink fountain roller running out of alignment are also completely eliminated.
  • the known device thus offers the basis for a reproducible, sensitive, zone-by-zone determination of the color gap.

  • a zone-wide metering knife 19 is attached to the front end wall 27 of each metering element 7 designed as a flat piece. Its wiping edge 20 projects beyond the support areas 17. The height of the wiping edge 20 must be such that in the O position of the metering element 7 the wiping edge 20 and the support areas 17 simultaneously abut the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. In this embodiment, too, all the metering elements 7 are covered by the elastic film 8 beyond the metering knives 19.

  • the support areas are always indirectly in contact with the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4, the ink-free strips produced thereby cannot have a disadvantageous effect, because in the space between the support areas 17 and the wiping edge 20, the ink 9 under back pressure is the ink-free area generated by the support areas 17 replenishes.
  • Zone width and pressure bars 5 which are under pressure from a spring 10 are provided here on the base plate 2 of the ink fountain 1, exactly as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Farbkasten für Offset- oder Hochdruckmaschinen mit einer Farbdosiereinrichtung, die aus einer Vielzahl von dicht nebeneinander angeordenten, zonenbreiten und auf zonal unterschiedliche Farbspaltdicken einstellbaren Dosiermitteln besteht, die Stützbereiche aufweisen, die unter Federdruck an der Farbkastenwalze ständig direkt oder indirekt anliegen.The invention relates to an ink fountain for offset or high-pressure machines with an ink metering device which consists of a large number of metering means which are arranged closely next to one another, are zone-wide and can be adjusted to zonal different ink gap thicknesses, and have support areas which are constantly or directly applied to the ink fountain roller under spring pressure.

Als Stand der Technik ist zunächst die DD-PPS 120 833 zu nennen, die eine, aus in Längsrichtung der Farbkastenwalze nebeneinander angeordneten Dosierzungen bestehende Farbdosiereinrichtung aufweist. Da aber die Dosierbereiche in Drehrichtung der Farbkastenwalze neben den, durch die Einfräsungen an den Zonenzungen-Vorderteilen verbleibenden und den Stützbereich bildenden Stützstegen angeordnet sind, lassen sich farbfreie Streifen auf der Farbkastenwalze nicht vermeiden.The DD-PPS 120 833, which has a metering device consisting of metering tongues arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the ink fountain roller, should first be mentioned as prior art. However, since the metering areas are arranged in the direction of rotation of the ink fountain roller in addition to the support webs remaining due to the milled portions on the front parts of the zone tongues and forming the support area, color-free stripes on the ink fountain roller cannot be avoided.

Aus der DE-AS 26 48 098 ist letztlich ein Farbkasten der eingangs genannten Art bekannt, bei dem ebenfalls jedes zonenbreite Dosierelement in Achsrichtung der Farbkastenwalze nebeneinander Stütz- und Dosierbereiche aufweist. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung hat eine Reihe von Vorteilen, beispielsweise ermöglicht die unabhängige, federnde Abstützung jedes einzelnen Dosierelementes an der Farbkastenwalze eine sich gegenseitig nicht beeinflussende Steuerung der Farbfilmdicke nebeneinander liegender Zonen. Auch werden Schwankungen der Farbfilmdicke aufgrund Unrundlaufens der Farbkastenwalze absolut ausgeschaltet. Die bekannte Vorrichtung bietet somit die Grundlage für eine jederzeit reproduzierbare, feinfühlige, zonenweise Bestimmung des Farbspalts. Da indessen auch hier die Stütz- und Dosierbereiche nebeneinander angeordnet sind, lassen sich ebenfalls farbfreie Streifen auf der Farbkastenwalze nicht vermeiden.From DE-AS 26 48 098 is ultimately a paint box of the type mentioned is known, in which each zone-wide metering element in the axial direction of the ink fountain roller has side by side support and metering areas. This known device has a number of advantages, for example the independent, resilient support of each individual metering element on the ink fountain roller enables the ink film thickness of adjacent zones to be controlled without influencing one another. Fluctuations in the ink film thickness due to the ink fountain roller running out of alignment are also completely eliminated. The known device thus offers the basis for a reproducible, sensitive, zone-by-zone determination of the color gap. However, since the support and metering areas are arranged next to each other here too, color-free stripes on the ink fountain roller cannot be avoided.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, unter Beibehaltung aller Vorteile einer Vorrichtung gemäß der DE-AS 26 48 098 die Entstehung von farbfreien Streifen auf der Farbkastenwalze aufgrund der ständigen Anlage der Stützbereiche zu verhindern.The object of the invention is to prevent the formation of color-free stripes on the ink fountain roller due to the constant contact of the support areas while maintaining all the advantages of a device according to DE-AS 26 48 098.

Die Erfindung besteht darin, daß zwischen den Stützbereichen auch bei unterschiedlicher Position der einzelnen Dosiermittel stets gleichen oder annähernd gleichen Durchflußquerschnitt aufweisende Durchflußöffnungen vorgesehen sind, daß den Stützbereichen in Drehrichtung der Farbkastenwalze gesehen mit Abstreifkanten versehene und den eigentlichen Dosierbereich bildende Dosierelemente nachgeordnet sind, deren Dosierbereich sich über die volle Zonenbreite erstreckt und die hinter den Stützbereichen in einem solchen Abstand angeordnet sind, daß sich dort die Farbe axial ausbreiten und über die gesamte Zonenbreite gleichmäßig verteilen kann.The invention is that between the support areas, even with different positions of the individual dosing means, the same or approximately the same flow cross-section are provided, that the support areas, seen in the direction of rotation of the ink fountain roller, are provided with wiping edges and form the dosing area proper, the dosing area of which is arranged extends over the full zone width and which are arranged behind the support areas at such a distance that the color can spread axially there and be distributed evenly over the entire zone width.

In dem Raum zwischen den Stützbereichen und den nachgeordneten zonenbreiten Dosierbereichen kann sich die unter Staudruck stehende Farbe in axialer Richtung der Farbkastenwalze ausbreiten, wodurch die von den Stützbereichen erzeugten farbfreien Streifen wieder mit Farbe aufgefüllt werden. Es bedarf somit keiner zusätzlichen Verreibung, um einen von den farbfreien Streifen eventuell auf die Einfärbung der Druckplatte ausgeübten schädlichen Einfluß auszuschalten.In the space between the support areas and the downstream zone-wide metering areas, the ink under dynamic pressure can spread out in the axial direction of the ink fountain roller, as a result of which the color-free strips produced by the support areas are refilled with paint. There is thus no need for additional rubbing in order to eliminate any harmful influence which the color-free strips may have on the inking of the printing plate.

Der Farbkasten 1 nach Fig. 1 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer Bodenplatte 2 und den Seitenwänden 3, in denen eine Farbkastenwalze 4 gelagert ist. Oberhalb der Bodenplatte 2 sind nebeneinander Druckleisten 5 vorgesehen, die über nicht näher dargestellte Schrauben mit dem Farbkasten 1 lose verbunden sind. Am unteren Ende der Druckleisten 5 befindet sich die Farbdosiereinrichtung 6. Sie besteht im wesentlichen aus den Dosierelementen 7, die axparallel zur Farbkastenwalze 4 dicht nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Die Druckleisten 5 und die Dosierelemente 7 werden von einer elastischen Folie 8 überdeckt, die im oberen Bereich des Farbkastens 1 an den Druckleisten 5 befestigt ist. In dem keilförmigen Raum zwischen der elastischen Folie 8, den Seitenwänden 3 des Farbkastens 1 und der Farbkastenwalze 4 befindet sich die Druckfarbe 9. Jede zonenbreite Druckleiste 5 stützt sich auf einer in der Bodenplatte 2 des Farbkastens 1 vorgesehenen Druckfeder 10 ab. Die zuvor erwähnten Schrauben geben jeder Druckleiste 5 soviel Freiheit in verdikaler Richtung, daß die Dosierelemente 7 unter Zwischenschaltung der elastischen Folie 8 ständig gegen die Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 angedrückt sind.1 essentially consists of a base plate 2 and the side walls 3, in which an ink fountain roller 4 is mounted. Above the base plate 2, pressure strips 5 are provided side by side, which are loosely connected to the ink fountain 1 by means of screws, not shown. The ink metering device 6 is located at the lower end of the pressure bars 5. It essentially consists of the metering elements 7, which are arranged axially parallel to the ink fountain roller 4, close together. The pressure bars 5 and the metering elements 7 are covered by an elastic film 8 which is attached to the pressure bars 5 in the upper region of the ink fountain 1. The printing ink 9 is located in the wedge-shaped space between the elastic film 8, the side walls 3 of the ink fountain 1 and the ink fountain roller 4. Each zone-wide printing strip 5 is supported on a compression spring 10 provided in the base plate 2 of the ink fountain 1. The screws mentioned above give each pressure bar 5 so much freedom in the vertical direction that the Dosing elements 7 with the interposition of the elastic film 8 are constantly pressed against the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4.

Jedes Dosierelement 7 ist über einen Stellarm 12, einen Lenker 13, einer Stellmutter 14 und einer Zonenstellschraube 15, die drehbar in dem Farbkasten 1 angeordnet ist, um seine Längsachse verstellbar. Der Verstellbereich umfaßt die O-Stellung, in der keine Farbe in der jeweiligen Zone durchgelassen wird-diese Stellung zeigt Fig. 1-und alle übrigen Einstellungen bis zur maximalen Farbschichtdicke. Das Dosierelement 7 ist, wie die Fig. 2 und 3 insbesondere zeigen, zylindrisch ausgebildet, besitzt jedoch an einem Teil seines Umfanges eine Abflachung oder exzentrische Abdrehung, die sogenannte Durchflußnut 16. Diese erstreckt sich allerdings nicht über die gesamte Länge des Dosierelements 7, sondern laßt an beiden Enden zwei Ringschultern stehen, die sogenannten Stützbereiche 17. Versetzt zur Durchflußnut 16 und somit auch zu den Stützbereichen 17 ist im zylindrischen Dosierelement 7 eine sekantale Ausnehmung 18 vorgesehen, in der ein sich über die gesamte Länge des Dosierelementes 7 erstreckendes Dosiermesser 19 vorgesehen ist. Die Abstreifkante 20 dieses Dosiermessers 19 stellt den Dosierbereich dar und erhebt sich zumindest bis in eine Ebene mit dem Teil der Stützbereiche 17, der sich am höchsten über die Durchflußnut 16 erhebt. Das Dosierelement 7 weist ferner noch eine Bohrung 21 auf, in die der Stellarm 12 hineinragt.Each metering element 7 is adjustable about its longitudinal axis via an adjusting arm 12, a link 13, an adjusting nut 14 and a zone adjusting screw 15 which is rotatably arranged in the ink fountain 1. The adjustment range includes the O position, in which no color is let through in the respective zone - this position is shown in FIG. 1 - and all other settings up to the maximum ink layer thickness. The metering element 7 is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 in particular, cylindrical, but has a flattening or eccentric turning on part of its circumference, the so-called flow-through groove 16. However, this does not extend over the entire length of the metering element 7, but leave two ring shoulders at both ends, the so-called support areas 17. Offset to the flow-through groove 16 and thus also to the support areas 17, a secant recess 18 is provided in the cylindrical metering element 7, in which a metering knife 19 extending over the entire length of the metering element 7 is provided is. The scraper edge 20 of this metering knife 19 represents the metering area and rises at least up to a plane with the part of the support areas 17 which rises highest above the flow-through groove 16. The metering element 7 also has a bore 21 into which the actuating arm 12 projects.

Wie aus der Fig. 1 entnommen werden kann, überdeckt die elastische Folie 8 nicht nur alle Druckleisten 5, sondern, wie erwähnt, auch die Dosierelemente 7 bis über die Abstreifkante 20 der Dosiermesser 19 hinweg. Zum Schutz der gesamten Farbdosiereinrichtung 6 ist am Farbkasten 1 ein Abdeckblech 22 vorgesehen. Sein oberes, freies, zu den Dosierelementen 7 hin abgewinkeltes Ende 23 wird noch von der elestischen Folie 8 abgedeckt.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the elastic film 8 not only covers all the pressure bars 5, but, as mentioned, also the metering elements 7 as far as beyond the scraper edge 20 of the metering knives 19. To protect the entire ink metering device 6, a cover plate 22 is provided on the ink fountain 1. Its upper, free end 23, which is angled toward the metering elements 7, is still covered by the elastic film 8.

Durch Betätigen der Zonenstellschraube 15 wird das zugeordnete Dosierelement 7 um seine Längachse derart verstellt, daß der Spalt zwischen der Abstreifkante 20 des zonenbreiten Dosiermessers 19 und der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 verändert wird. Die elastische Folie paßt sich der Einstellung des Dosiermessers 19 an, d.h., sie liegt zufolge des hydrodynamischen Druckes der Farbe 9 ständig auf der Abstreifkante 20 des Dosiermessers 19 auf. Damit bestimmt die Stellung des Dosiermessers 19 die Farbstreifendiche dieser Zone.By actuating the zone adjusting screw 15, the associated metering element 7 is adjusted about its longitudinal axis in such a way that the gap between the scraper edge 20 of the zone-wide metering knife 19 and the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4 is changed. The elastic film adapts to the setting of the metering knife 19, i.e., due to the hydrodynamic pressure of the ink 9, it lies constantly on the scraper edge 20 of the metering knife 19. The position of the metering knife 19 thus determines the colored strip dykes in this zone.

Das Dosiermesser 19 ist derart weit vom Anlagepunkt 24 der Stützbereiche 17 entfernt vorgesehen, daß der Zwischenraum groß genug ist, um aufgrund des Staudrucks die elastische Folie durchzubiegen, so daß die Farbe 9 in axialer Richtung in den Bereich fließt, in dem die Stützbereiche 17 durch ihre ständige Anlage einen farbfreien Streifen auf dem Mantel 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 erzeugen. Trotzt der ständigen indirekten Anlage der Stützbereiche 17 an der Farbkastenwalze 4 wird somit aufgrund der versetzten Anordnung der zonenbreiten Dosiermesser 19 eine zonenbreite, kontinuierliche Farbschichtdicke erzeugt.The metering knife 19 is provided so far from the contact point 24 of the support areas 17 that the space is large enough to deflect the elastic film due to the dynamic pressure, so that the paint 9 flows in the axial direction into the area in which the support areas 17 pass their constant system produce a color-free streak on the jacket 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. Despite the constant indirect contact of the support areas 17 on the ink fountain roller 4, a zone-wide, continuous ink layer thickness is thus generated due to the offset arrangement of the zone-wide metering knives 19.

Die Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 4 unterscheidet sich von der zuvor beschriebenen vornehmlich nur dadurch, daß den Dosierelementen 7 der Farbdosiereinrichtung 6 eine flachstückförmige Ausbildung verliehen worden ist. Fig. 5 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch ein solches Flachstück. Die Dosierelemente 7 werden hier also als Schieber eingesetzt.The embodiment according to FIG. 4 differs from the one described above primarily only in that the metering elements 7 of the ink metering device 6 have been given a flat-shaped design. Fig. 5 shows a cross section through such a flat piece. The metering elements 7 are used here as a slide.

Die Zonenstellschraube 15 ragt in eine Gewindebohrung 25 des Dosierelementes 7 hinein und bewirkt, wenn sie gedreht wird, eine tangentiale Verstellung des Dosierelements 7 relativ zur Farbkastenwalze 4. Eine im Farbkasten 1 befestigte Blattfeder 26 drückt das zugeordnete Dosierelement 7 ständig in Richtung auf die Farbkastenwalze 4. Dabei stützt sich das Dosierelement 7 über rippenförmige Stützbereiche 1 7 unter Zwischenschaltung der elastischen Folie 8 an der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 ab. Zwischen den an den Längsseiten 28 des Dosierelements 7 vorgesehenen Stützbereichen 17 befindet sich eine Durchflußnut 16. Sie ist in Fig. 5 übertrieben groß gezeichnet. Sie braucht nur eine solche Tiefe aufzuweisen, daß für die maximale, zonale Farbfilmdicke genügend Farbe hindurchfließen kann.The zone adjusting screw 15 projects into a threaded bore 25 of the metering element 7 and, when it is rotated, causes a tangential adjustment of the metering element 7 relative to the ink fountain roller 4. A leaf spring 26 fastened in the ink fountain 1 presses the associated metering element 7 continuously in the direction of the ink fountain roller 4 The metering element 7 is supported here via rib-shaped support areas 17 with the interposition of the elastic film 8 on the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. There is a flow-through groove 16 between the support areas 17 provided on the longitudinal sides 28 of the metering element 7. It is drawn in an exaggerated manner in FIG. It only needs to have such a depth that enough color can flow through it for the maximum zonal color film thickness.

An der vorderen Stirnwand 27 jedes als Flachstück ausgebildeten Dosierelements 7 ist ein zonenbreites Dosiermesser 19 befestigt. Seine Abstreifkante 20 überragt die Stützbereiche 17. Die Höhe der Abstreifkante 20 muß derart sein, daß in der O-Stellung des Dosierelements 7 die Abstreifkante 20 und die Stützbereiche 17 gleichzeitig an der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 anliegen. Auch bei dieser Ausführungsform sind alle Dosierelemente 7 bis über die Dosiermesser 19 hinweg von der elastischen Folie 8 gedeckt. Abstreifkante 20 und Stützbereiche 17 liegen also niemals unmittelbar an der Mantelfläche 11 an.A zone-wide metering knife 19 is attached to the front end wall 27 of each metering element 7 designed as a flat piece. Its wiping edge 20 projects beyond the support areas 17. The height of the wiping edge 20 must be such that in the O position of the metering element 7 the wiping edge 20 and the support areas 17 simultaneously abut the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. In this embodiment, too, all the metering elements 7 are covered by the elastic film 8 beyond the metering knives 19. Scraper edge 20 and support areas 17 thus never lie directly on the lateral surface 11.

Durch Verschieben der Dosierelemente 7 tangential zur Farbkastenwalze 4 wird der Spaltzwischen der Abstreifkante 20 einschließlich der darüber liegenden Folie 8 und der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 in der jeweiligen Zone verändert. Dadurch ändert sich entsprechend die zonale Farbfilmdiche. Obgleich die Stützbereiche ständig indirekt an der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 anliegen, können sich die dadurch erzeugten farbfreien Streifen nicht nachteilig auswirken, weil im Zwischenraum zwischen den Stützbereichen 17 und der Abstreifkante 20 die unter Staudruck stehende Farbe 9 den von den Stützbereichen 17 erzeugten Farbfreien Bereich auffüllt.By moving the metering elements 7 tangentially to the ink fountain roller 4, the gap between the wiping edge 20 including the overlying film 8 and the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4 is changed in the respective zone. This changes the zonal color film density accordingly. Although the support areas are always indirectly in contact with the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4, the ink-free strips produced thereby cannot have a disadvantageous effect, because in the space between the support areas 17 and the wiping edge 20, the ink 9 under back pressure is the ink-free area generated by the support areas 17 replenishes.

Die in Fig. 6 dargestellte Ausführungsform eines Farbkastens 1 mit einer Farbdosiereinrichtung 6 nach der Erfindung zeigt aus zwei Teilen bestehende Dosierelemente 7, u. zw. sind hier auf der Bodenplatte 2 des Farbkastens 1, genau wie in der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1, zonenbreite und unter Druck einer Feder 10 stehende Druckleisten 5 vorgesehen. An ihrem vorderen Ende weisen diese Druckleisten 5 jedoch Stützbereiche 17 auf, über die sie sich unter Zwischenschaltung der Folie 8 an der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 abstützen.The embodiment of an ink fountain 1 with an ink metering unit shown in FIG. 6 direction 6 according to the invention shows two-part metering elements 7, u. between. Zone width and pressure bars 5 which are under pressure from a spring 10 are provided here on the base plate 2 of the ink fountain 1, exactly as in the embodiment according to FIG. 1. At their front end, however, these pressure bars 5 have support areas 17, via which they are supported with the interposition of the film 8 on the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4.

Im vordersten Bereich dieser verfederten Druckleiste 5 ist ein zylindrisches Drehventil 30 um seine Längsachse drehbar gelagert. Es verläuft außerdem koaxial zur Farbkastenwalze 4. Das Drehventil 30 besteht aus einem Zylinder, der genau die länge der Zonenbreite aufweist und über einen gewissen Umfangsbereich exzentrisch abgedreht ist. In seinem konzentrischen Bereich ist er in einem Gleitlager 31 der Druckleiste 5 gelagert. Der exzentrisch abgedrehte Teilbereich 32 kann durch Stellmittel der Farbkastenwalze 4 gegenübergestellt werden. Die Exzentrizität dieser abgedrehten Fläche bewirkt, daß über die gesamte Zonenbreite je nach Einstellung zwischen der die Druckleiste 5 und das Drehventil 30 überdeckenden elastischen Folie 8 und der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 ein verschieden großer Spalt entsteht. Statt der exzentrischen Abdrehung könnte auch eine Abflachung als Dosierfläche Verwendung finden. Die Stützbereiche 17, die, wie erwähnt, an den Druckleisten 5 unmittelbar angeordnet sind, haben eine rippenförmige Ausbildung, ähnlich wie die in Fig. 5 als Flachstück ausgeführten schieberartigen Dosierelemente 7. Zwischen den Stützbereichen 17 befindet sich eine in Drehrichtung der Farbkastenwalze 4 verlaufende Durchflußnut 16 von solchen Ausmaßen, daß selbst für die maximale Farbspalteinstellung genügend Farbe 9 hindurchfließen kann.In the foremost area of this spring-loaded pressure bar 5, a cylindrical rotary valve 30 is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis. It also runs coaxially with the ink fountain roller 4. The rotary valve 30 consists of a cylinder which has exactly the length of the zone width and is eccentrically turned over a certain circumferential range. In its concentric area, it is supported in a slide bearing 31 of the pressure bar 5. The eccentrically turned off portion 32 can be juxtaposed with the ink fountain roller 4 by adjusting means. The eccentricity of this turned surface causes a gap of different size to be formed over the entire zone width depending on the setting between the elastic film 8 covering the pressure bar 5 and the rotary valve 30 and the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. Instead of the eccentric calibration, a flattening could also be used as the metering surface. The support areas 17, which, as mentioned, are arranged directly on the pressure bars 5, have a rib-shaped design, similar to the slide-like metering elements 7 which are designed as flat pieces in FIG. 5. Between the support areas 17 there is a flow groove running in the direction of rotation of the ink fountain roller 4 16 of such dimensions that enough color 9 can flow through even for the maximum color gap setting.

Jedes zonenbreite Drehventil 30 ist über einen Stellarm 12, einen Lenker 13, eine Stellmutter 14 und eine Zonenstellschraube 15 um seine Längsachse drehbar.Each zone-wide rotary valve 30 can be rotated about its longitudinal axis via an adjusting arm 12, a link 13, an adjusting nut 14 and a zone adjusting screw 15.

Die Zonenstellschraube 15 ist nicht nur über das Handrad 33, sondern zwecks Fernverstellung auch über den Stellmotor 34 betätigbar.The zone adjusting screw 15 can be actuated not only via the handwheel 33, but also via the servomotor 34 for remote adjustment.

Die jeweilige Stellung der Zonenschraube 15 und damit die Winkellage des Drehventils 30 meldet das von der Zonenstellschraube 15 betätigte Potentiometer 35 einer nicht dargestellten Anzeige-, Steuer- oder Regelvorrichtung.The respective position of the zone screw 15 and thus the angular position of the rotary valve 30 are reported by the potentiometer 35 actuated by the zone setting screw 15 to a display, control or regulating device, not shown.

Fig. 7 zeigt einen Farbkasten 1 mit einer in die Farbe 9 eintauchenden Farbkastenwalze 4 und einer oberhalb des Farbkasten 1 vorgesehenen Farbdosiereinrichtung 6. Letztere besteht aus einer Reihe von über die Länge des Farbkasten 1 angeordneten Dosierelementen 7, die als zonenbreite Rakel ausgeführt sind. In einer parallel zur Farbkastenwalze 4 verlaufenden Traverse 36 sind für jede Zone Stellmuttern 37 drehbar gelagert, in die je ein Gewindebolzen 38 hineinragt, dessen freies Ende mit einer Gleitklaue 39 verbunden ist, in der das rakelförmige Dosierelement 7 befestigt ist. Eine in der Traverse 36 vorgesehene Blattfeder 40 liegt an der Unterseite des rakelförmigen Dosierelements 7 an und drückt dieses in Richtung auf die Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4. Das vordere Ende des Dosierelements 7 ist mit einer Abstreifkante 20 versehen und besitzt außerdem stirnseitig, wie insbesondere aus Fig. 8 hervorgeht, zwei Stützarme 41, an denen drehbar Stützrollen 42 gelagert sind. Diese Stützrollen 42 laufen auf der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4.Fig. 7 shows an ink fountain 1 with an ink fountain roller 4 immersed in the ink 9 and an ink metering device 6 provided above the ink fountain 1. The latter consists of a series of metering elements 7 arranged over the length of the ink fountain 1, which are designed as doctor-wide doctor blades. In a traverse 36 running parallel to the ink fountain roller 4, adjusting nuts 37 are rotatably mounted for each zone, into each of which a threaded bolt 38 projects, the free end of which is connected to a sliding claw 39 in which the doctor-shaped metering element 7 is fastened. A leaf spring 40 provided in the crossmember 36 rests on the underside of the doctor-shaped metering element 7 and presses it in the direction of the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. The front end of the metering element 7 is provided with a scraper edge 20 and also has an end face, as in particular 8 shows two support arms 41 on which support rollers 42 are rotatably mounted. These support rollers 42 run on the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4.

Die jeweilige Lage des rakelformigen Dosierelements 7 in vertikaler Richtung bestimmt den Abstand der Abstreifkante 20 von der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4. In der unteren, ausgezogen dargestellten Position liegt die Abstreifkante 20 an der Mantelfläche 11 an und läßt somit keine Farbe passieren.The respective position of the doctor-shaped metering element 7 in the vertical direction determines the distance of the stripping edge 20 from the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. In the lower position shown in solid lines, the stripping edge 20 lies against the lateral surface 11 and thus does not allow any color to pass.

Wird jedoch mittels der Stellmutter 37 das rakelförmige Dosierelement 7 vertikal aufwärts bewegt, beispielsweise in die strichpunktierte Lage 43, so haben die Stützrollen 41 gleichwohl noch mit der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 Kontakt, da die Blattfeder 40 das Dosierelement 7 in Richtung auf die Farbkastenwalze 4 drückt. Jedoch zwischen der Abstreifkante 20 und der Mantelfläche 11 befindet sich ein beträchtlicher Spalt, so daß ein entsprechender zonaler Farbfilm entsteht. Da in Drehrichtung der Farbkastenwalze 4 gesehen, die Stützrollen 42 der Abstreifkante 20 vorgelagert sind, können die durch sie erzeugten farbfreien Streifen von der Abstreifkante 20 wieder mit Farbe aufgefüllt werden.However, if the squeegee-shaped metering element 7 is moved vertically upward by means of the adjusting nut 37, for example into the dot-dash position 43, the support rollers 41 nevertheless still have contact with the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4, since the leaf spring 40 moves the metering element 7 in the direction of the ink fountain roller 4 presses. However, there is a considerable gap between the scraper edge 20 and the lateral surface 11, so that a corresponding zonal color film is formed. As seen in the direction of rotation of the ink fountain roller 4, the support rollers 42 are in front of the stripping edge 20, the color-free stripes produced by them can be refilled with paint from the stripping edge 20.

Da die Dosierelemente 7 außerhalb des Farbkastens 1 und oberhalb des Spiegels der Farbe 9 vorgesehen sind, brauchen sie nicht von einer Folie 8 abgedeckt zu sein. Alle zonenbreiten Dosierelemente 7 sind, unmittelbar aneinanderliegend, nebeneinander angeordnet, Eine völlig unabhängige, streifenfreie Einstellung des Farbfilms jeder Zone ist dadurch gewährleistet.Since the dosing elements 7 are provided outside the ink fountain 1 and above the mirror of the ink 9, they do not need to be covered by a film 8. All zone-wide metering elements 7 are arranged directly next to one another, next to one another. A completely independent, streak-free adjustment of the color film of each zone is thereby ensured.

Um die Lebensdauer der rakelförmigen Dosierelemente 7 zu erhöhen, können, wie in Fig. 9 angedeutet, die Dosierelemente 7 auch bei einer Ausführungsform nach Fig. 7 durch eine elastische Folie 8 abgedeckt sein. In einem solchen Falle kann sich jedes zonenbreite rakelförmige Dosierelement 7 unmittelbar über Stützarme 41 an der Mantelfläche 11 der Farbkastenwalze 4 abstützen. Die Stützrollen 42 sind dann entbehrlich.In order to increase the service life of the doctor-shaped metering elements 7, as indicated in FIG. 9, the metering elements 7 can also be covered by an elastic film 8 in an embodiment according to FIG. 7. In such a case, each zone-wide doctor-shaped metering element 7 can be supported directly on support surface 41 on the lateral surface 11 of the ink fountain roller 4. The support rollers 42 are then unnecessary.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die dargestellten Ausführungsformen beschränkt. In der Regel ist jedes Dosierelement 7 für sich allein, d.h. unabhängig von den anderen federnd an die Farbkastenwalze 4 angelegt. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, mehrere Druckleisten 5 miteinander zu verbinden und gemeinsam durch ein Feder organ gegen die Farbkastenwalze 4 anzulegen. Außerdem hat sich gezeigt, daß zwischen dem Abstützpunkt 24 und der Abstreifkante 20 eine Entfernung von etwa 4 mm vorzusehen ist, um ein hinreichendes Auffüllen der farbfreien Streifen zu gewährleisten. Es ist aber durchaus denkbar, daß sich durch besondere Ausbildung der Stützbereiche 17 dieser Abstand verringern läßt. Eine weitere Abwandlungsmöglichkeit der Erfindung besteht noch darin, daß das Drehventil 30 in der Ausführungsform nach der Fig. 6 durch andere Ventilgestaltungen ersetzt wird.The invention is not restricted to the illustrated embodiments. As a rule, each metering element 7 is applied to the ink fountain roller 4 on its own, ie independently of the others. However, there is also the possibility of connecting a plurality of pressure bars 5 to one another and organ by a spring against the ink fountain roller 4 to create. In addition, it has been shown that a distance of approximately 4 mm must be provided between the support point 24 and the scraper edge 20 in order to ensure adequate filling of the color-free strips. But it is quite conceivable that this distance can be reduced by special design of the support areas 17. Another possible modification of the invention is that the rotary valve 30 in the embodiment according to FIG. 6 is replaced by other valve designs.
