Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for decorating objects by means of screen printing with at least one treatment station for the objects, each of which is held by a slide moved along a closed path and is released by this slide after passing through at least one treatment station.
  • Another objective is to make available a method and a device with which even small series of objects can be economically printed with a high throughput.
  • Another object is to provide the possibility that regardless of the position that the objects occupy during printing, the objects can be inserted and removed from the device in a position that corresponds to the position that the Take objects in facilities that are upstream and / or downstream of the printing device. It can be z. B. are devices for manufacturing, arranging, filling, closing or the like. Containers that are printed in the device.
  • the objects are continuously transported along the guideway and the squeegee is moved synchronously with the object to be printed during the printing process, and the position of the screen printing stencil during the printing process is in line with that during the advance of the object on an arcuate path resulting change in the position of the object is adjusted.
  • the continuous movement of the objects not only leads to a smoother running of the device, but also to a higher throughput.
  • such Device can be installed in existing treatment lines without difficulty, in which the objects are also continuously transported forward.
  • the adaptation of the screen printing stencil to the position of the object during printing takes into account the fact that the object moves continuously during printing, and not on a linear, but on an arcuate path.
  • the screen printing stencil maintains its angular position relative to the object or the surface to be printed on during the printing process.
  • this will mean that the screen printing stencil, which is arranged essentially in the horizontal plane, is pivoted in the horizontal plane around the center of the guideway during the printing process.
  • the screen printing stencil can be displaced in its main plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the object opposite to it, as a result of which it then moves on an arc-shaped path that runs parallel to the circular-arc-shaped path that runs from the object during the printing process is described.
  • There will always be a relative speed between the screen printing stencil and the object namely z. B. in such a way that the object and screen printing stencil are moved in opposite directions during the printing process.
  • a pivoting of the screen printing stencil in adaptation to the arc-shaped path described by the object would not be necessary if the printed image in the stencil were arranged in accordance with the circular-arc-shaped path described by the object, that is to say it was approximately sector-shaped. However, this presupposes a distorted configuration of the printed image in the stencil in order to compensate for the different angular velocities that occur along the axis of rotation of the object.
  • the invention further provides for the possibility that the longitudinal axis of the object is substantially vertical during its insertion into the device and that the object is brought into a position after being inserted into the device in which its longitudinal axis is substantially horizontal and after completion the printing is brought back into a position in which its longitudinal axis is substantially vertical.
  • Such a procedure has the advantage that the objects are fed upright and are also led away from the device standing upright, but the printing as such can be carried out on surfaces which are parallel to one another horizontal axis. This enables the use of screen printing stencils running essentially in a horizontal plane, which fact in certain applications, e.g. B. depending on the nature of the printing ink is advantageous.
  • the object is additionally held at least during part of the path to be covered along the guideway by a supporting part which also acts on the object at a distance from the object carrier and with the slide is moved synchronously at least as long as it supports the object to be printed.
  • This additional support part can run around with the associated slide. In this case the number of additional support parts will correspond to that of the slide.
  • each object is only held on one side, that is, only by the object carrier, at least on sections of the guideway, and is only supported in at least one of the treatment stations by a supporting part, which in this case immediately before the start of the Treatment brought into engagement with the object and then moved synchronously with this and the slide and is moved back to the starting position after the end of the treatment, so that such an additional supporting part carries out reciprocating movements along the guideway.
  • An additional support part is advantageously only available in the stations in which the object is treated. This procedure is based on the consideration that plastic objects, in particular, which are light in weight, easily move from one side to the other during transport between two treatment processes attacking slides can be held.
  • Slide and / or support part can be arranged rotatably about the longitudinal axis of the object held by them. This can be particularly advantageous for multiple printing because there is the possibility to turn the object into the correct starting position before the next printing process begins.
  • the slides are advantageously carried by a ring which can be rotated continuously about a vertical axis and which is guided on the frame of the device.
  • Additional support part and squeegee can be carried by a support element which is pivotable on a circular arc-shaped path running parallel to the ring carrying the specimen slides.
  • the associated screen printing stencil can at the same time be mounted so as to be relatively displaceable relative to the support element, it being advantageous to provide for the screen printing stencil a drive which is independent of the support element and which allows the screen printing stencil to be printed independently of the movement of the support element and the movement of the printing element Object in relation to this to move in a plane perpendicular to its axis of rotation.
  • the squeegee and screen printing stencil take the position of the other part. Furthermore, it is advantageous to attach the additional support part in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the object supported by it back and forth on the support element, so that it engages with the object to be supported in each case without difficulty and, once the support function has ended, is disengaged from this object again can be.
  • specimen slides can be pivotably mounted in such a way that they can pivot the objects held by them between a substantially vertical and a substantially horizontal position.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 and 2 has a central, hollow stand 10 which is fixed to the machine frame 11.

  • the gearwheel 21 with curve 72 is driven by a motor M via a transmission G1 and a shaft 73.
  • a reciprocating pivoting movement is transmitted to the support arms 14a, 14b and 14c on the hub 13 by the curve 72 and via the cam rollers 70 when the cam rollers 70 follow the driven curve.
  • an axis 15 is mounted on which a double-armed lever 16 is attached, one arm 16a of which carries a pin 17 on the upper side, which engages in a linear guide 18 of a slide 19 which is in turn guided on two rods 20 transversely to the longitudinal course of the guide 18 and pushed out.
  • the bars 20 are attached to the machine frame.
  • the second arm 16b of the lever 16 is provided at its free end with an extension 16c which carries on the underside two cam rollers 22 which cooperate with a cam 23. The latter is attached to the top of the gear 21.
  • the carriage 19 is provided on one of its longitudinal sides with a toothed rack 34 (FIG. 2) which drives a pinion 60 which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a second pinion 61, which in turn is connected to a toothed rack 63 attached to a carriage 62a carrying a screen printing template 69a combs.

  • the two screen printing stencils 69b and 69c assigned to the support arms 14b and 14c are driven by the screen carriage 62a of the template 69a of the printing station A.
  • the sieve carriage 62a is connected to the sieve carriage 62b via an articulated rod 77, which in turn is connected to the sieve carriage 62c via an articulated second rod 78. In this way, a synchronous movement of all screen slides 62a, b and c and thus also of the templates 69a, b and c is ensured.
  • a rotational movement of the gear wheel 21 results in a reciprocating pivoting movement of the double-armed lever 16, which is transmitted to the carriage 19 via the pin 17 and leads to a linear reciprocating movement of the carriage 19 along the rods 20.
  • the size of the stroke carried out by the slide 19 depends on the distance of the pin 17 from the axis of rotation 15.
  • the pin 17 When the pin 17 is coaxial with the axis of rotation 15, the pin 17 only rotates about its longitudinal axis, so that the position of the slide 19 does not change changes, so it is stationary.
  • the stroke of the carriage 19 increases with increasing distance of the Pin 17 from the axis 15 to. Reverse results can be achieved by arranging the pin 17 on the other side of the axis of rotation 15.
  • Each of the support arms 14a, 14b and 14c also serves to attach a doctor blade 75a, 75b and 75c, each of which is assigned to one of the screen printing stencils 69a, 69b, 69c in the usual manner.
  • the squeegee can be moved up and down relative to the screen printing stencil in the usual manner and is also arranged to be adjustable to adapt to the shape and size of the objects to be printed. These are the usual configurations, so that details are not shown in the drawing.
  • Each doctor blade is carried by an arm 90, which is connected to the associated support arm 14a, 14b, 14c.
  • the embodiment shown in the drawing serves to decorate bottle-like objects 25, which during treatment are treated by a thorn-like slide 26, which in its effective position engages in the neck of the bottle 25 in the usual way, and an additional support part 27a (FIG. 2) be worn, which is provided with a seat for the bottom end portion of the respective bottle 25.
  • the mandrel-like specimen slide 26 is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a shaft 29 which is mounted in a fork-shaped holder 30 and is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a pinion 31.
  • the fork-shaped holder 30 is in turn carried by an approximately radial rod 32, based on the stand 10, which is fastened to a ring 33 coaxial with the stand 10.
  • the upper part of the ring 33 is provided with two approximately radial bores 35, which each serve to guide an actuating rod 36.
  • the actuating rods are fixedly connected at their ends facing the holder 30 with a cross member 37, which is provided with an opening for the rod 32, along which she is led.

  • the mode of operation of the screen printing machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is described below:
  • the objects 25 to be printed which are plastic bottles, are fed upright in the station 80 of the device (FIG. 1), the mandrel-like object holder 26 of the unit 42 located there being pivoted into a vertical position in this station. That is, the profile of the cam 41 causes the cam roller 40 to move; this movement is transmitted to the crossmember 37, the rack 38 of which actuates the pinion 31, so that the upright bottle can be pushed upward against the slide 26, which engages in the neck of the bottle due to its spike-like configuration.
  • negative pressure is applied through the slide 26, which for this purpose is provided with a hole which can be connected to a negative pressure source, the bottle 25 can be held hanging on the slide 26.

It is possible before the printing station A to provide further treatment stations in which the bottle z. B. dedusted, flamed or otherwise prepared in a suitable manner for the printing process.
  • the support arms 14a-14c have been pivoted by the curve 72 over the curve roller 70 in their end position opposite to the direction of rotation 81, the support parts 27a-27c being retracted, that is to say assume a position away from the respective bottle 25.
  • the respective support part 27a-27c is displaced outwards by the curve 53, the arms 14a -14c being simultaneously pivoted in synchronism with the movement of the ring 33, with the result that the support part 27a according to the representation in Figures 1 and 2 includes the bottom end of the bottle 25. This process must be completed at about the time that corresponds to the position of the parts in Fig.
  • FIGS. 3A-3C show that this adaptation is achieved in a simple manner by the screen printing stencil 69a being movable relative to the support arm 14a along a linear guide 83 on the end face, but on the support arm in the direction of arrow 81 during the printing process does not participate synchronously with the object 25 pivoting movement of the support arm 14a, ie does not change its position in the circumferential direction.
  • This is achieved in that the position of the sieve carriage 62a is fixed in the circumferential direction by appropriate adjustment of the pin 17. It is only possible for the carriage 62a to pivot about the pivot point of the ring 33, since this is not prevented by the engagement between the pinion 61 and the rack located on the sieve carriage 62a.
  • FIGS. 3A-3C show that during the printing process the support arm under the aforementioned condition 14a slides along the fixed screen carriage 62a, but continuously changes its angular position.

  • the movement of the support arm 14a can be reversed, that is to say under the continued action of curve 72 and curve roller 70 against the direction of arrow 81 in the other end position can be pivoted in order to bring the support part 27a and also the doctor blade 75a into the starting position for the following object to be printed.
  • the slide 26 After passing the last printing station and this, if necessary, further treatment stations connected downstream in the direction of arrow 81, e.g. B. drying stations, the slide 26 is pivoted by appropriate actuation of the rack 38 through the curve 41 back into its vertical position, so that the bottle can be guided upright in the station 84 out of the device.
  • further treatment stations connected downstream in the direction of arrow 81 e.g. B. drying stations
  • the procedure can also be such that the object 25 is pivoted into its vertical position, for example after the last printing process has ended, and any subsequent treatment processes, for example drying of the printing ink, are carried out with the object arranged vertically.

  • the objects 125 are inserted vertically into the device analogously to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 and held in this position by the slide 126 and additional support part 127a during the implementation of the treatments. In this case, the slide 126 need not be pivotally attached. Otherwise, the parts interacting in the printing stations are arranged in an analogous manner and, insofar as it results from the other position of the object 125, pivoted by 90 ° compared to the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2.

  • the transmission located in the housing 150 is driven via the shaft 192, by means of which the support part 127a can be rotated about the longitudinal axis of the object 125. Since the transmission located in the housing 150 is moved back and forth together with the support part 127a parallel to the longitudinal axis of the object 125, the connection between shaft 192 and the To design the gear in the housing 150 in a known manner so that such a reciprocating movement of the gear relative to the shaft is possible.
  • the back and forth movement is transmitted via an extension 194 attached to the housing 150, which carries a cam roller 158, which engages with the cam 153.
