Definitions

  • the invention relates to a doctor device for applying application material such as foamable substances of different viscosities, coating materials, lacquers, adhesives, pastes or the like. on an application surface (substrate) with a doctor blade that can be pressed against it.
  • a doctor device reaches e.g. in machines for flat stencil printing, for round stencil applications and / or devices for stencilless full-area applications, where the width of the application area or the doctor blade extension can be several meters.
  • sample applications (printing) and / or full-surface applications e.g. impregnation, coating, dyeing, painting
  • full-surface applications e.g. impregnation, coating, dyeing, painting
  • Influencing the order result or the setting of the order quantities is of considerable importance. It is known to vary the application result by changing the contact pressure and / or the selection of doctor blades.
  • the dependence of the application result on the contact pressure, the substrate material, the substance viscosity and / or the size or the spatial shape of the substance supply before a doctor blade leads to problems which have not been satisfactorily solved in every respect.
  • doctor blades with a small diameter are used for the application of small amounts of substance
  • doctor blades with a large diameter however, for the application of larger amounts of substance.
  • a squeegee device is also known (DE-OS 25 44 784), in which the squeegee roller can be pressed against the back of a profiled strip which is distanced from the rolling surface of a squeegee roller.
  • a doctor blade effect influencing the application result can be produced to a practically limited extent.
  • the profile strip or a squeegee device and the squeegee roller form independent components, which must be kept adapted to one another, in particular for a machine type, and can only be handled separately, that is to say can only be installed, removed or cleaned separately from one another .
  • the application quantity, the size of the substance space and / or its shape must be determined and fixed before the printing device is started up. To change the application result, parts of the doctor blade device must be replaced and selected and installed in a specific adaptation to one another.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a particularly simple and easy-to-use, in particular universally usable doctor device, with which the application result or the substance application can be changed continuously, precisely and in a defined manner, in particular during the operation of a machine.
  • the device is determined by one by the doctor extension Longitudinally pivotable squeegee element which acts together with a squeegee on the application material and which is carried by means of a bearing whose distance from the application surface can be changed and adjusted by pivoting the squeegee element.
  • the conversion of the spacing movement of the bearing into the pivoting movement of the doctor element enables a very effective and precisely executable positioning or alignment of the doctor element with regard to the parameters relevant for the substance application.
  • the pivoting movement of the doctor element allows the substance storage space lying between it and the application surface to be changed as desired in terms of size or shape and / or an application angle of a substance wedge which is in doctor blade extension in front of a doctor blade or in front of its application or pressure line.
  • the doctor element can be pivoted in a large angular range with small changes in the distance of the bearing.
  • the change in the distance of the bearing from the application area can be accomplished with simple means, whereby it can be carried out during machine operation according to a very important aspect of the invention.
  • Another significant advantage is that one and the same doctor element can be used for very different application results, for different application types and / or different machines, since its application effect can be adjusted to different desired application functions due to the pivoting that can be carried out over a wide angular range.
  • the level of the contact pressure of the doctor element in the direction of the application surface is less important than in conventional devices, since the application result can be adjusted to a considerable extent regardless of a large or small contact pressure due to the pivotability of the doctor element.
  • the application result can be influenced in a particularly favorable manner with the inflatable distance movement of the doctor element, in that the doctor element has at least one doctor axis or profile surface that is parallel to the application surface and has a working gap that tapers or narrows in the direction of the area of a doctor pressure line and / or or trains order material room.
  • the working gap or the order material space can be changed to a large extent, especially during machine operation.
  • a relatively large pressure is exerted on the substance with a flat working gap or a flat substance wedge, so that the depth of penetration into a substrate is correspondingly large.
  • a relatively large substance space is achieved with a steep working gap, in which case the pressure on the substance is relatively low.
  • a flat-shaped working gap or a steep-shaped working gap can be changed continuously and - if desired - only slightly by the pivoting movement of the doctor element.
  • Parts of the doctor element can have a doctor blade and / or roller doctor blade.
  • the doctor element is designed as a profile strip, in particular at least partially made of plastic, in or on which a doctor blade and / or doctor blade is mounted by means of a receptacle is.
  • the doctor blade is evasive in the direction facing away from the application surface, the profile strip in particular being cut free on the side facing away from the application surface in such a way that a recess is formed on the back of the doctor blade.
  • a very advantageous embodiment consists in the fact that the profile strip is integrated with a roller doctor blade, in that it is provided free-running in a receptacle of the profile strip.
  • the roller doctor blade is freely supported in a receptacle against the sliding surface or coating by the force of a magnetic device arranged in a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the profile strip, which can comprise a permanent magnet in the profile strip extension or axis.
  • the profile strip and the doctor blade roll form a handling unit which can be installed in or removed from a printing device and also cleaned as a unit.
  • the apex area of the doctor roller lying against the sliding surface or the sliding coating also forms a sealing strip, so that no substance can get into the area behind the doctor roller.
  • the squeegee element or the profile bar has at least one particularly continuous, advantageously also the Magnetic bearing of a doctor roll in the profile bar serving supporting element with a mass provided for the doctor pressure. It is beneficial that in the profile bar a support member made of magnetizable material such as steel or the like. is embedded, so that a doctor blade can be magnetically pressed by means of a magnetic device arranged under the application surface.
  • a doctor blade can be designed with a relatively small diameter, since the profile strip with the doctor blade carried by it can already be magnetically attracted or pressed by means of the bar-shaped support element in particular and / or the iron weight of the support element or the profile strip.
  • One embodiment of the invention is that the distance of the bearing from the application surface can be changed by an adjustment that is essentially perpendicular to the latter, by pivoting the bearing and / or guiding the bearing along a curved path.
  • a vertical adjustment is very advantageously achieved in that the bearing comprises the squeegee bearing, laterally arranged on the application surface, to this height-variable holders.
  • the pivoting of the bearing is advantageously carried out about a longitudinally parallel axis, which lies on the side of the application surface with respect to the bearing. A doctor pressure line can thus be displaced either against or in the direction of travel of a substrate web when the bearing is lowered or the distance is reduced.
  • a guide of the bearing along a cam track can also be provided, with which the bearing can be lowered or raised at the same time.
  • a further embodiment consists in that the distance-adjustable adjustable bearing is arranged such that it can be changed substantially parallel to the application surface transversely to the doctor blade extension.
  • the pivoting longitudinal axis of the doctor element can be arranged offset with respect to the center of gravity or the center of gravity of the doctor element in such a way that it can be pivoted either to the right or to the left.
  • a particularly space-saving unit within an application device, in particular in a round stencil printing machine is achieved in that the doctor device has a holding element carried by the bearing in the form of a holding strip, a holding profile or the like. comprises, on which the doctor element is pivotally articulated. It is expedient that the holding element is carried at an angle by the bearing in such a way that the squeegee contact line remains when the bearing spacing changes in the area under the bearing, in particular in the area under a support bar inserted into the bearing and firmly connected to the holding element at an angle.
  • the squeegee element In order to mount the squeegee element to the left or to the right in a pivotable manner and / or to preset the pivoting dimension, it is particularly expedient for the squeegee element to have a plurality of connection elements which can be used differently from the center of gravity.
  • a connecting element is preferably designed in the form of a plug-in or clamping element with which a swivel connection can be quickly and easily produced with a corresponding receptacle on the bearing or on the holding element.
  • the doctor element is made of plastic, it is very advantageous that it is pivotally mounted by means of a material-elastic joint.
  • the swivel bracket of the doctor element or the profile bar and the arrangement of the bearing are provided such that when the bearing moves at a distance or when the doctor element swivels, the doctor element is displaced transversely to the doctor extension while maintaining the pressed position.
  • the pivoting movement of the doctor element results in a change in location of the doctor pressure line transverse to the doctor extension in the direction of the substrate web.
  • the doctor blade system or doctor blade coating or rolling surface is to be guided in a specific application line, for example in order to counteract an undesired misalignment of a doctor blade and / or a stencil shift or shape change possible during machine operation.
  • the bearing change of the doctor application line is particularly easy to accomplish even during machine operation.
  • the doctor element provided with the swivel bearing according to the invention is, in addition to the already mentioned magnetic possibility of pressing in the direction of the substrate, particularly well suited for pressing devices comprising mechanical, hydraulic and / or pneumatic means.
  • Each squeegee device 3 extends in a circular stencil 7.
  • a printing blanket 8 is a web forming the substrate or application surface 4, which moves during printing operation by means of the printing blanket 8 in the running direction L and thereby by pressing a squeegee 301, 302 against the Stencil 7 is printed by its pattern with a substance 5 lying in the running direction L in front of a doctor pressure line 36.
  • Each squeegee device 3 comprises a squeegee element 30 which supports a squeegee 301 or 302, a holding element 33 and a carrying bar 38 which can expediently form a substance feed tube (not shown) or carry it inside.
  • the holding element 33 is fixed at an angle W to the support bar 38 e.g. connected by means of a screw or welded connection.
  • the squeegee element 30 is articulated to the holding element 33 in the region above the application surface 4.

It is shaped and connected to the support bar 38 in such a way that the doctor element 30 is located substantially below the support bar 38, the doctor line 36 coming to lie in the region of the intersection of the plane of symmetry of the bearing bar 38 which is perpendicular to the web 4 and parallel to the axis.
  • the doctor element 30 can be pivoted in each case by changing the distance A of the support bar 38, which corresponds to the distance of a bearing 2 supporting the support bar 38.
  • the bearing 2 comprises brackets 21 which are designed as bearing glasses and into which the carrying bar 38 is inserted.
  • the bearings 21 are arranged in an application machine or device (not shown in detail) to the side of the web 4, so that the support bar 38 extends freely over the application surface 4 or width of the goods.
  • the brackets 21 are steplessly changeable by means of a tripod guide 22, in particular height adjustment by an electric motor.
  • the doctor element 30 is designed as a profile strip 31 which extends parallel to the longitudinal or articulated axis 320. It consists at least partially of a magnetizable material, or a magnetizable support element in the form of a carrier 35 is embedded along its extent, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Rakeleinrichtung zum Auftragen von Auftragsmaterial wie ggf. schäumbaren Substanzen unter­schiedlicher Viskosität, Beschichtungsstoffen, Lacken, Klebern, Pasten od.dgl. auf eine Auftragsfläche (Substrat) mit einer an diese anpreßbaren Rakel. Eine solche Rakel­einrichtung gelangt z.B. in Maschinen für Flachschablonen-­Druck, für Rundschablonen-Auftragungen und/oder Vorrich­tungen für schablonenlose vollflächige Auftragungen zum Einsatz, wobei die Breite der Auftragsfläche bzw. die Rakel­erstreckung mehrere Meter betragen kann. Je nach Maschinen­typ lassen sich bemusternde Auftragungen (Bedrucken) und/­oder vollflächige Auftragungen (z.B. Imprägnieren, Beschich­ten, Färben, Lackieren) ausführen.The invention relates to a doctor device for applying application material such as foamable substances of different viscosities, coating materials, lacquers, adhesives, pastes or the like. on an application surface (substrate) with a doctor blade that can be pressed against it. Such a doctor device reaches e.g. in machines for flat stencil printing, for round stencil applications and / or devices for stencilless full-area applications, where the width of the application area or the doctor blade extension can be several meters. Depending on the machine type, sample applications (printing) and / or full-surface applications (e.g. impregnation, coating, dyeing, painting) can be carried out.

Der Beeinflussung des Auftragungsergebnisses bzw. der Ein­stellung der Auftragungsmengen kommt erhebliche Bedeutung zu. Es ist bekannt, das Auftragungsergebnis durch Verände­rung der Anpreßkraft und/oder die Auswahl von Rakeln zu variieren. Die Abhängigkeit des Auftragungsergebnisses von der Anpreßkraft, des Substratmaterials, der Substanzviskosi­tät und/oder der Größe bzw. der räumlichen Form des Sub­stanzvorrates vor einer Rakel führt zu Problemen, die nicht in jeder Hinsicht zufriedenstellend gelöst worden sind. Z.B. werden Rakelrollen mit kleinem Durchmesser für die Auftra­gung geringer Substanzmengen, Rakelrollen mit großem Durch­messer hingegen für die Auftragung größerer Substanzmengen verwendet. Damit aber ergibt sich eine unerwünschte Ab­hängigkeit des Substanzraumes oder des vor der Rakel Anpreß- ­oder -auftragslinie liegenden Substanzkeils von der verwen­deten Rakel und/oder von der Kraft zur Anpressung einer Rakel. Insbesondere ist für manche Auftragsmaterialien bzw. Waren- oder Substratqualitäten eine zu große Anpreßkraft nachteilig. Um solchen Nachteilen zu begegnen, sind Druck­maschinen mit hinter der Rakelrolle angeordneten Stauleisten bekannt. Auch ist eine Rakelvorrichtung bekannt (DE-OS 25 44 784), bei der die Rakelrolle an die Rückseite einer von der Abrollfläche einer Rakelrolle distanzierten Profil­leiste anpreßbar ist. Mit einer solchen Profilleiste kann in praktisch nur beschränktem Maß zusätzlich zu der Rollrakel­wirkung eine das Auftragungsergebnis beeinflussende Streich­rakelwirkung erzeugt werden. Es ist nachteilig, daß die Profilleiste bzw. ein Rakelgerät und die Rakelrolle für sich selbständige Bauteile bilden, die insbesondere für einen Maschinentyp aneinander angepaßt zur Verfügung gehalten werden müssen und nur getrennt voneinander handhabbar, also nur getrennt voneinander einzubauen, herauszunehmen bzw. zu reinigen sind. Insbesondere aber muß bei der bekannten Vorrichtung die Auftragungsmenge, die Größe des Substanz­raumes und/oder dessen Form vor Inbetriebnahme der Druckvor­richtung bestimmt und festgelegt werden. Zur Änderung des Auftragungsergebnisses müssen Teile des Rakelgeräts ausge­tauscht und in bestimmter Anpassung zueinander gewählt und eingebaut werden.Influencing the order result or the setting of the order quantities is of considerable importance. It is known to vary the application result by changing the contact pressure and / or the selection of doctor blades. The dependence of the application result on the contact pressure, the substrate material, the substance viscosity and / or the size or the spatial shape of the substance supply before a doctor blade leads to problems which have not been satisfactorily solved in every respect. For example, doctor blades with a small diameter are used for the application of small amounts of substance, doctor blades with a large diameter, however, for the application of larger amounts of substance. However, this results in an undesirable dependency of the substance space or the substance wedge lying in front of the doctor pressure or application line on the doctor blade used and / or on the force for pressing on one Squeegee. In particular, too much contact force is disadvantageous for some application materials or goods or substrate qualities. In order to overcome such disadvantages, printing machines with baffle bars arranged behind the doctor roller are known. A squeegee device is also known (DE-OS 25 44 784), in which the squeegee roller can be pressed against the back of a profiled strip which is distanced from the rolling surface of a squeegee roller. With such a profile strip, in addition to the doctor blade effect, a doctor blade effect influencing the application result can be produced to a practically limited extent. It is disadvantageous that the profile strip or a squeegee device and the squeegee roller form independent components, which must be kept adapted to one another, in particular for a machine type, and can only be handled separately, that is to say can only be installed, removed or cleaned separately from one another . In particular, however, in the known device the application quantity, the size of the substance space and / or its shape must be determined and fixed before the printing device is started up. To change the application result, parts of the doctor blade device must be replaced and selected and installed in a specific adaptation to one another.

Demgegenüber liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine besonders einfach bauende und leicht handhabbare, insbeson­dere universell verwendbare Rakeleinrichtung zu schaffen, mit der das Auftragungsergebnis bzw. der Substanzauftrag insbesondere während des Betriebes einer Maschine konti­nuierlich, genau und definiert veränderbar sind.In contrast, the invention has for its object to provide a particularly simple and easy-to-use, in particular universally usable doctor device, with which the application result or the substance application can be changed continuously, precisely and in a defined manner, in particular during the operation of a machine.

Diese Aufgabe wird in Verbindung mit den Merkmalen der eingangs genannten Rakeleinrichtung dadurch gelöst, daß die Einrichtung ein um eine durch die Rakelerstreckung bestimmte Längsachse schwenkbewegliches Rakelelement umfaßt das zu­sammen mit einer Rakel auf das Auftragsmaterial einwirkt und das mittels eines Lagers getragen ist, dessen Abstand zu der Auftragsfläche unter Verschwenken des Rakelelements verän­derbar und einstellbar ist. Die Umsetzung der Abstandsbewe­gung des Lagers in die Schwenkbewegung des Rakelelements ermöglicht eine sehr wirksame und präzise durchführbare Positionierung bzw. Ausrichtbarkeit des Rakelelements hin­sichtlich der für die Substanzauftragung maßgeblichen Para­meter. Durch die Schwenkbewegung des Rakelelements kann der zwischen ihm und der Auftragsfläche liegende Substanzstau­raum hinsichtlich Größe oder Form und/oder ein Auftragungs­winkel eines Substanzkeiles, der in Rakelerstreckung vor einer Rakel bzw. vor deren Auftrags- oder -anpreßlinie liegt, nach Wunsch verändert werden. Das Verschwenken des Rakelelements ist in einem großen Winkelbereich mit bereits kleinen Abstandsveränderungen des Lagers durchführbar. Die Abstandsveränderung des Lagers gegenüber der Auftragsfläche läßt sich mit einfachen Mitteln bewerkstelligen, wobei sie gemäß einem sehr wichtigen Aspekt der Erfindung während des Maschinenbetriebes vorgenommen werden kann. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil besteht darin, daß ein und dasselbe Rakelelement für sehr verschiedene Auftragungsergebnisse, für verschiedene Auftragungsarten und/oder verschiedene Maschinen einsetzbar ist, da es hinsichtlich seiner Auf­tragswirkung infolge der in einem großen Winkelbereich durchführbaren Verschwenkung auf verschiedene gewünschte Auftragungsfunktionen einstellbar ist. In bezug auf das Auftragungsergebnis kommt der Höhe des Anpreßdruckes des Rakelelements in Richtung auf die Auftragsfläche eine ge­ringere Bedeutung zu als bei herkömmlichen Einrichtungen, da das Auftragungsergebnis infolge der Verschwenkbarkeit des Rakelelements jedenfalls in einem beachtlichen Umfang unab­hängig von einem großen oder kleinen Anpreßdruck eingestellt werden kann.This object is achieved in connection with the features of the doctor device mentioned at the outset in that the device is determined by one by the doctor extension Longitudinally pivotable squeegee element which acts together with a squeegee on the application material and which is carried by means of a bearing whose distance from the application surface can be changed and adjusted by pivoting the squeegee element. The conversion of the spacing movement of the bearing into the pivoting movement of the doctor element enables a very effective and precisely executable positioning or alignment of the doctor element with regard to the parameters relevant for the substance application. The pivoting movement of the doctor element allows the substance storage space lying between it and the application surface to be changed as desired in terms of size or shape and / or an application angle of a substance wedge which is in doctor blade extension in front of a doctor blade or in front of its application or pressure line. The doctor element can be pivoted in a large angular range with small changes in the distance of the bearing. The change in the distance of the bearing from the application area can be accomplished with simple means, whereby it can be carried out during machine operation according to a very important aspect of the invention. Another significant advantage is that one and the same doctor element can be used for very different application results, for different application types and / or different machines, since its application effect can be adjusted to different desired application functions due to the pivoting that can be carried out over a wide angular range. With regard to the application result, the level of the contact pressure of the doctor element in the direction of the application surface is less important than in conventional devices, since the application result can be adjusted to a considerable extent regardless of a large or small contact pressure due to the pivotability of the doctor element.

Mit dem infloge Abstandsbewegung schwenkbaren Rakelelement läßt sich das Auftragungsergebnis besonders günstig dadurch beeinflussen, daß das Rakelelement wenigstens eine der Auf­tragsfläche zugewandte längsachsenparallele Rakel- oder Profilfläche aufweist, die einen im wesentlichen in Richtung auf den Bereich einer Rakelanpressungslinie sich keilförmig verjüngenden oder sich verengenden Arbeitsspalt und/oder Auftragsmaterialraum ausbildet. Der Arbeitsspalt bzw. der Auftragsmaterialraum ist insbesondere während des Maschinen­betriebs in großem Umfang veränderbar. Für bestimmte Auf­tragungen ist es besonders zweckmäßig, daß mit der Rakel-/­Profilfläche ein flachförmiger Arbeitsspalt ausgebildet ist, während für andere Anwendungen ein mit der Rakel-/Profil­fläche ausgebildeter steilförmiger Arbeitsspalt besonders zweckmäßig ist. Mit einem flachförmigen Arbeitsspalt bzw. einem flachen Substanzkeil wird ein relativ großer Druck auf die Substanz ausgeübt, so daß die Eindringtiefe in ein Substrat entsprechend groß ist. Mit einem steilförmigen Arbeitsspalt ist ein relativ großer Substanzraum erreicht, wobei in einem solchen Fall der Druck auf die Substanz relativ gering ist. Jeweils ein flachförmiger Arbeitsspalt bzw. ein steilförmiger Arbeitsspalt lassen sich durch die Schwenkbewegung des Rakelelements kontinuierlich und - falls gewünscht - nur geringfügig ändern. Besonders zweckmäßig kann es aber auch sein, einem flachförmigen Arbeitsspalt einen relativ steilförmigen Arbeitsspalt vorzuordnen, wobei das Rakelelement für diese Ausgestaltung zwei geeignet aus­gerichtete Profilflächen aufweist.The application result can be influenced in a particularly favorable manner with the inflatable distance movement of the doctor element, in that the doctor element has at least one doctor axis or profile surface that is parallel to the application surface and has a working gap that tapers or narrows in the direction of the area of a doctor pressure line and / or or trains order material room. The working gap or the order material space can be changed to a large extent, especially during machine operation. For certain applications, it is particularly expedient that a flat-shaped working gap is formed with the squeegee / profile surface, while a steep-shaped working gap formed with the squeegee / profile surface is particularly expedient for other applications. A relatively large pressure is exerted on the substance with a flat working gap or a flat substance wedge, so that the depth of penetration into a substrate is correspondingly large. A relatively large substance space is achieved with a steep working gap, in which case the pressure on the substance is relatively low. A flat-shaped working gap or a steep-shaped working gap can be changed continuously and - if desired - only slightly by the pivoting movement of the doctor element. However, it can also be particularly expedient to arrange a relatively steep working gap in front of a flat-shaped working gap, the doctor element having two suitably oriented profile surfaces for this configuration.

Teile des Rakelelements können eine Streichrakel und/oder Rollrakel aufweisen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, daß das Rakelelement als eine insbesondere wenigstens teilweise aus Kunststoff bestehende Profilleiste ausgebildet ist, in oder an der eine Streich­rakel und/oder Rollrakel mittels einer Aufnahme gelagert ist. Hinsichtlich einer sehr vorteilhaften Beweglichkeit bzw. Elastizität einer Streichrakelklinge ist vorgesehen, daß die Streichrakel in von der Auftragsfläche abgewandter Richtung ausweichlich ist, wobei insbesondere die Profil­leiste auf der der Auftragsfläche abgewandten Seite derart freigeschnitten ist, daß auf der Rückseite der Streichrakel ein Rezeß gebildet ist.Parts of the doctor element can have a doctor blade and / or roller doctor blade. It is advantageous that the doctor element is designed as a profile strip, in particular at least partially made of plastic, in or on which a doctor blade and / or doctor blade is mounted by means of a receptacle is. With regard to a very advantageous mobility or elasticity of a doctor blade, it is provided that the doctor blade is evasive in the direction facing away from the application surface, the profile strip in particular being cut free on the side facing away from the application surface in such a way that a recess is formed on the back of the doctor blade.

Eine sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß die Profilleiste mit einer Rollrakel integriert ist, indem diese in einer Aufnahme der Profilleiste freilaufend vorgesehen ist. Bei dieser Gestaltung erreicht man wesentliche Vorteile dadurch, daß die Rollrakel durch die Kraft einer in einer längsachsenparallelen Längsachse der Profilleiste angeordne­ten Magneteinrichtung, die in der Profilleistenerstreckung oder -achse einen Permanentmagneten umfassen kann, in einer Aufnahme gegen Gleitfläche oder -belag frei laufend gelagert ist. Insbesondere bilden so Profilleiste und Rakelrolle eine Handhabungseinheit, die gemeinsam in eine Druckvorrichtung eingebaut bzw. aus dieser herausgenommen und auch als Ein­heit gereinigt werden kann. Der an der Gleitfläche oder dem Gleitbelag anliegende Scheitelbereich der Rakelrolle bildet zugleich eine Dichtleiste, so daß keine Substanz in den Bereich hinter die Rakelrolle gelangen kann.A very advantageous embodiment consists in the fact that the profile strip is integrated with a roller doctor blade, in that it is provided free-running in a receptacle of the profile strip. With this design, significant advantages are achieved in that the roller doctor blade is freely supported in a receptacle against the sliding surface or coating by the force of a magnetic device arranged in a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the profile strip, which can comprise a permanent magnet in the profile strip extension or axis. In particular, the profile strip and the doctor blade roll form a handling unit which can be installed in or removed from a printing device and also cleaned as a unit. The apex area of the doctor roller lying against the sliding surface or the sliding coating also forms a sealing strip, so that no substance can get into the area behind the doctor roller.

Hinsichtlich einer besonders guten Anpreßbarkeit des Rakel­elements bzw. der Profilleiste, also einer guten Anpreßbar­keit einer Rakellinie auf das Auftragsmaterial entlang der Rakelerstreckung bzw. der Auftragsbreite besteht eine sehr vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung darin, daß das Rakelelement bzw. die Profilleiste mindestens ein insbesondere durchgängiges, vorteilhaft auch der Magnetlagerung einer Rakelrolle in der Profilleiste dienendes Tragelement mit einer für die Rakel­anpressung vorgesehenen Masse umfaßt. Es ist vorteilhaft, daß in die Profilleiste ein Tragelement aus magnetisierbarem Material wie Stahl od.dgl. eingebettet ist, so daß eine Rakel mittels einer unter der Auftragsfläche angeordneten Magneteinrichtung magnetisch anpreßbar ist. Insbesondere eine Rollrakel kann mit relativ kleinem Durchmesser ausge­führt sein, da die Profilleiste mit der von ihr getragenen Rollrakel bereits mittels des insbesondere balkenförmigen Tragelements magnetisch oder/und des Eisengewichts des Tragelements oder des Profilleistes anziehbar bzw. anpreßbar ist.With regard to a particularly good contact pressure of the squeegee element or the profile bar, i.e. a good contact pressure of a squeegee line onto the application material along the squeegee extension or the application width, there is a very advantageous embodiment in that the squeegee element or the profile bar has at least one particularly continuous, advantageously also the Magnetic bearing of a doctor roll in the profile bar serving supporting element with a mass provided for the doctor pressure. It is beneficial that in the profile bar a support member made of magnetizable material such as steel or the like. is embedded, so that a doctor blade can be magnetically pressed by means of a magnetic device arranged under the application surface. In particular, a doctor blade can be designed with a relatively small diameter, since the profile strip with the doctor blade carried by it can already be magnetically attracted or pressed by means of the bar-shaped support element in particular and / or the iron weight of the support element or the profile strip.

Eine Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besteht darin, daß der Abstand des Lagers zu der Auftragsfläche durch eine zu dieser im wesentlichen senkrechte Verstellung, durch eine Verschwenkung des Lagers und/oder Führung des Lagers entlang einer Kurvenbahn veränderbar ist. Eine senkrechte Verstel­lung wird sehr vorteilhaft dadurch erreicht, daß das Lager das Rakelelement lagernde, seitlich der Auftragsfläche ange­ordnete, zu dieser Höhenlage-veränderbare Halterungen um­faßt. Die Verschwenkung des Lagers erfolgt vorteilhaft um eine längsparallele Achse, die in bezug auf das Lager auf der Seite der Auftragsfläche liegt. Damit kann eine Rakel­anpreßlinie bei Absenken des Lagers bzw. Abstandsverkleine­rung entweder gegen oder in Laufrichtung einer Substratbahn verschoben werden. Zur gezielten Herbeiführung einer Orts­veränderbarkeit des Rakelelements bzw. einer Rakelanpreß­linie quer zur Substratlaufrichtung kann aber auch eine Kulissenführung des Lagers entlang einer Kurvenbahn vorge­sehen sein, mit der das Lager zugleich absenkbar bzw. anheb­bar ist. Eine weitere Ausgestaltung besteht darin, daß das abstandsveränderbar einstellbare Lager im wesentlichen parallel zu der Auftragsfläche quer zur Rakelerstreckung lageveränderbar angeordnet ist. Zudem kann es zweckmäßig sein, wenigstens einige der genannten Lagerverstellmöglich­keiten hinsichtlich Bewegung in mehrere Koordinatenrich­tungen miteinander zu kombinieren.One embodiment of the invention is that the distance of the bearing from the application surface can be changed by an adjustment that is essentially perpendicular to the latter, by pivoting the bearing and / or guiding the bearing along a curved path. A vertical adjustment is very advantageously achieved in that the bearing comprises the squeegee bearing, laterally arranged on the application surface, to this height-variable holders. The pivoting of the bearing is advantageously carried out about a longitudinally parallel axis, which lies on the side of the application surface with respect to the bearing. A doctor pressure line can thus be displaced either against or in the direction of travel of a substrate web when the bearing is lowered or the distance is reduced. In order to bring about a changeability of the doctor element or a doctor pressure line transversely to the substrate running direction, a guide of the bearing along a cam track can also be provided, with which the bearing can be lowered or raised at the same time. A further embodiment consists in that the distance-adjustable adjustable bearing is arranged such that it can be changed substantially parallel to the application surface transversely to the doctor blade extension. In addition, it can be expedient to combine at least some of the bearing adjustment options mentioned with regard to movement in several coordinate directions.

Die Schwenk-Längsachse des Rakelelements kann gegenüber dem Schwerpunkt bzw. der Schwerpunktlinie des Rakelelements derart versetzt angeordnet sein, daß es entweder rechts- ­oder linksherum schwenkbar ist.The pivoting longitudinal axis of the doctor element can be arranged offset with respect to the center of gravity or the center of gravity of the doctor element in such a way that it can be pivoted either to the right or to the left.

Eine besonders raumsparende Einheit innerhalb einer Auf­tragsvorrichtung, insbesondere in einer Rundschablonen-­Druckmaschine erreicht man dadurch, daß die Rakeleinrichtung ein von dem Lager getragenes Halteelement in Form einer Halteleiste, eines Halteprofils od.dgl. umfaßt, an dem das Rakelelement schwenkbar angelenkt ist. Dabei ist es zweck­mäßig, daß das Halteelement so unter einem Winkel von dem Lager getragen ist, daß die Rakelanpreßlinie bei Lager­abstandsveränderung im Bereich unter dem Lager, insbesondere im Bereich unter einem in das Lager eingelegten, mit dem Halteelement unter dem Winkel festverbundenen Tragholm liegen bleibt.A particularly space-saving unit within an application device, in particular in a round stencil printing machine, is achieved in that the doctor device has a holding element carried by the bearing in the form of a holding strip, a holding profile or the like. comprises, on which the doctor element is pivotally articulated. It is expedient that the holding element is carried at an angle by the bearing in such a way that the squeegee contact line remains when the bearing spacing changes in the area under the bearing, in particular in the area under a support bar inserted into the bearing and firmly connected to the holding element at an angle.

Um das Rakelelement nach Wahl links- oder rechtsherum schwenkbeweglich zu lagern und/oder um das Schwenkmaß vor­einzustellen, ist es besonders zweckmäßig, daß das Rakel­element mehrere unterschiedlich zu der Schwerpunktlinie versetzte, wahlweise verwendbare Anschlußelemente aufweist. Vorzugsweise ist ein Anschlußelement in Form eines Steck- ­oder Klemmelementes ausgebildet, mit dem eine Schwenkver­bindung schnell lösbar mit einer entsprechenden Aufnahme an dem Lager bzw. an dem Halteelement herstellbar ist. Insbe­sondere bei Ausbildung des Rakelelements aus Kunststoff ist es sehr vorteilhaft, daß es mittels eines material-elasti­schen Gelenks schwenkbeweglich gelagert ist. Es kann aber auch vorteilhaft sein, das Schwenkgelenk in Form eines mechanischen Scharniergelenks od.dgl. auszubilden.In order to mount the squeegee element to the left or to the right in a pivotable manner and / or to preset the pivoting dimension, it is particularly expedient for the squeegee element to have a plurality of connection elements which can be used differently from the center of gravity. A connecting element is preferably designed in the form of a plug-in or clamping element with which a swivel connection can be quickly and easily produced with a corresponding receptacle on the bearing or on the holding element. In particular when the doctor element is made of plastic, it is very advantageous that it is pivotally mounted by means of a material-elastic joint. However, it can also be advantageous to use the swivel joint in the form of a mechanical hinge joint or the like. to train.

Für bestimmte Anwendungsfälle ist es sehr vorteilhaft, daß die Schwenkhalterung des Rakelelements bzw. der Profilleiste und die Anordnung des Lagers so vorgesehen sind, daß bei Abstandsbewegung des Lagers bzw. bei Rakelelement-Schwenk­bewegung zugleich quer zur Rakelerstreckung unter Beibehal­tung der angepreßten Lage eine Verschiebung des Rakelele­ments erfolgt. Dabei erfolgt durch die Schwenkbewegung des Rakelelements eine Ortsveränderung der Rakelanpreßlinie quer zur Rakelerstreckung in Richtung der Substratbahn. Dies ist wünschenswert, wenn die Rakelanlage- bzw. Rakelstreich- ­oder Rollfläche in eine bestimmte Auftragslinie geführt werden soll, z.B. um eine bei Maschinenbetrieb mögliche, nicht gewünschte Verlagerung einer Rakel und/oder einer Schablonenverlagerung oder Formänderung zu begegnen. Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Abstandsveränderbarkeit des Lagers im Zusammenhang mit der daraus abgeleiteten Schwenkbewegung des Rakelelements ist die Lagerveränderung der Rakelauftrags­linie auch während des Maschinenbetriebs besonders einfach zu bewerkstelligen. Es kann aber auch eine stets ortsfeste Beibehaltung der Rakelanpreßlinie erwünscht sein. Dies er­reicht man insbesondere dadurch, daß bei einer rechtsherum erfolgenden Rakelelementschwenkung in geeignetem Maß eine Lageveränderung des Lagers quer zur Rakelerstreckung in Laufrichtung der Substratbahn erfolgt, während bei einem Schwenken des Rakelelements linksherum ein entsprechender Versatz des Lagers gegen eine Substratbahnlaufrichtung erfolgt.For certain applications, it is very advantageous that the swivel bracket of the doctor element or the profile bar and the arrangement of the bearing are provided such that when the bearing moves at a distance or when the doctor element swivels, the doctor element is displaced transversely to the doctor extension while maintaining the pressed position. The pivoting movement of the doctor element results in a change in location of the doctor pressure line transverse to the doctor extension in the direction of the substrate web. This is desirable if the doctor blade system or doctor blade coating or rolling surface is to be guided in a specific application line, for example in order to counteract an undesired misalignment of a doctor blade and / or a stencil shift or shape change possible during machine operation. With the spacing of the bearing according to the invention in connection with the pivoting movement of the doctor element derived therefrom, the bearing change of the doctor application line is particularly easy to accomplish even during machine operation. However, it may also be desirable to maintain the doctor pressure line in a fixed position at all times. This is achieved in particular by the fact that when the doctor element swings to the right, the position of the bearing is changed transversely to the doctor extension in the running direction of the substrate web, while when the doctor element swivels to the left there is a corresponding offset of the bearing against a substrate web running direction.

Das mit der erfindungsgemäßen Schwenklagerung vorgesehene Rakelelement eignet sich neben der bereits erwähnten magne­tischen Möglichkeit der Anpressung in Richtung auf das Sub­strat besonders gut auch für mechanische, hydraulische, und/oder pneumatische Mittel umfassende Anpreßeinrichtungen.The doctor element provided with the swivel bearing according to the invention is, in addition to the already mentioned magnetic possibility of pressing in the direction of the substrate, particularly well suited for pressing devices comprising mechanical, hydraulic and / or pneumatic means.

Zwischen dieser und einer Druckdecke 8 liegt eine die Sub­strat- oder Auftragsfläche 4 bildende Warenbahn, die beim Druckbetrieb mittels der Druckdecke 8 in Laufrichtung L bewegt und dabei durch die Anpressung einer Rakel 301, 302 gegen die Schablone 7 durch deren Muster mit einer in Lauf­richtung L vor einer Rakelanpreßlinie 36 liegenden Substanz 5 bedruckt wird.1 to 9 each show a doctor blade device 3 in a machine for a circular stencil application. Each squeegee device 3 extends in a circular stencil 7. Between this and a printing blanket 8 is a web forming the substrate or application surface 4, which moves during printing operation by means of the printing blanket 8 in the running direction L and thereby by pressing a squeegee 301, 302 against the Stencil 7 is printed by its pattern with a substance 5 lying in the running direction L in front of a doctor pressure line 36.

Jedes Rakelgerät 3 umfaßt ein eine Rakel 301 bzw. 302 lagerndes Rakelelement 30, ein Halteelement 33 sowie einen Tragholm 38, der zweckmäßig ein nicht dargestelltes Sub­stanzzufuhrrohr bilden oder in seinem Inneren tragen kann.Each squeegee device 3 comprises a squeegee element 30 which supports a squeegee 301 or 302, a holding element 33 and a carrying bar 38 which can expediently form a substance feed tube (not shown) or carry it inside.

Das Halteelement 33 ist unter einem Winkel W fest mit dem Tragholm 38 z.B. mittels einer Schraub- oder Schweißverbin­dung verbunden. Um eine durch die Erstreckung einer Rakel 301, 302 bestimmte Längsachse 320 ist das Rakelelement 30 im Bereich über der Auftragsfläche 4 schwenkbeweglich an das Halteelement 33 angelenkt. Dieses ist vorzugsweise in Form einer Halteleiste, eines Halteprofils od.dgl. ausgebildet. Es ist so geformt und mit dem Tragholm 38 verbunden, daß sich das Rakelelement 30 im wesentlichen unterhalb des Tragholms 38 befindet, wobei die Rakellinie 36 im Bereich der Schnittlinie der mit der Warenbahn 4 senkrechten achsen­parallelen Symmetrieebene des Lagerholms 38 zu liegen kommt. Das Rakelelement 30 ist jeweils durch Veränderung des Ab­standes A des Tragholms 38, der dem Abstand eines den Trag­holm 38 lagernden Lagers 2 entspricht, schwenkbar.The holding element 33 is fixed at an angle W to the support bar 38 e.g. connected by means of a screw or welded connection. About a longitudinal axis 320 determined by the extension of a squeegee 301, 302, the squeegee element 30 is articulated to the holding element 33 in the region above the application surface 4. This is preferably in the form of a holding strip, a holding profile or the like. educated. It is shaped and connected to the support bar 38 in such a way that the doctor element 30 is located substantially below the support bar 38, the doctor line 36 coming to lie in the region of the intersection of the plane of symmetry of the bearing bar 38 which is perpendicular to the web 4 and parallel to the axis. The doctor element 30 can be pivoted in each case by changing the distance A of the support bar 38, which corresponds to the distance of a bearing 2 supporting the support bar 38.

Das Lager 2, das in jedem Fall Höhenlage veränderbar bzw. den Abstand A kontinuierlich verändernd einstellbar ist, ist in Fig. 1, 2, 4, 8 und 9 dargestellt. Gemäß Fig. 1, 2, 8 und 9 umfaßt das Lager 2 als Lagerbrillen ausgebildete Halte­rungen 21, in die der Tragholm 38 eingelegt ist. Dabei sind die Lagerungen 21 in einer nicht näher dargestellten Auf­tragungsmaschine oder -vorrichtung seitlich der Warenbahn 4 angeordnet, so daß sich der Tragholm 38 frei über die Auf­tragsfläche 4 bzw. Warenbreite erstreckt. Die Halterungen 21 sind mittels einer Stativführung 22 stufenlos, insbesondere elektromotorisch Höhenlage-veränderbar.The bearing 2, which can be changed in each case at an altitude or the distance A can be changed continuously, is shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 4, 8 and 9. 1, 2, 8 and 9, the bearing 2 comprises brackets 21 which are designed as bearing glasses and into which the carrying bar 38 is inserted. The bearings 21 are arranged in an application machine or device (not shown in detail) to the side of the web 4, so that the support bar 38 extends freely over the application surface 4 or width of the goods. The brackets 21 are steplessly changeable by means of a tripod guide 22, in particular height adjustment by an electric motor.

In Fig. 1 bis 7 ist das Rakelelement 30 als parallel zu der Längs- bzw. Gelenkachse 320 sich erstreckende Profilleiste 31 ausgebildet. Sie besteht wenigstens teilweise aus einem magnetisierbaren Material, oder entlang ihrer Erstreckung ist ein magnetisierbares Tragelement in Form eines Trägers 35 eingebettet, wie dies in Fig. 6 und 7 dargestellt ist.1 to 7, the doctor element 30 is designed as a profile strip 31 which extends parallel to the longitudinal or articulated axis 320. It consists at least partially of a magnetizable material, or a magnetizable support element in the form of a carrier 35 is embedded along its extent, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.

Damit ist die Profilleiste 31 entlang ihrer Erstreckung gleichmäßig in Richtung auf die Druckdecke 8 mittels eines unter dieser angeordneten Magnetvorrichtung 6 magnetisch anziehbar. Eine besondere Maßnahme besteht in der Lagerung einer Rakel 301, 302 in der Profilleiste. So zeigen Fig. 1 und 7 eine Streichrakel 301, die im unteren der Auftrags­fläche 4 zugewandten Bereich der Profilleiste gelagert ist. An der Unterseite der Profilleiste 31 ist eine der Auftrags­fläche 4 zugewandte, längsachsenparallele Rakel- oder Pro­filfläche 310 ausgebildet, die einen im wesentlichen in Richtung auf den Bereich der Rakelanpressungslinie 36 sich keilförmig verjüngenden oder sich verengenden Arbeitsspalt r und damit einen Auftragsmaterialraum 51 ausbildet.The profile strip 31 can thus be magnetically attracted uniformly along its extension in the direction of the printing blanket 8 by means of a magnetic device 6 arranged beneath it. A special measure consists in the storage of a doctor blade 301, 302 in the profile strip. 1 and 7 show a doctor blade 301 which is mounted in the lower region of the profiled strip facing the application surface 4. On the underside of the profile strip 31 there is formed a doctor blade or profile surface 310 which is parallel to the application surface 4 and which forms a working gap r tapering or narrowing substantially in the direction of the region of the doctor pressure line 36 and thus an application material space 51.

Gemäß der Ausführungsformen Fig. 2 bis 6 ist die Profil­leiste 31 in Kombination mit einer Rollrakel 302 gestaltet. Dabei ist die Rollrakel 302 in einer längsachsenparallelen nutförmigen Aufnahme frei laufend geführt, die zur Warenbahn 4 offen ist und die Rollrakel 302 auf der Schablone 7 bzw. relativ zu der Warenbahn 4 rollen läßt. Die Wandungen der Aufnahme 314 sind als Gleitflächen 315 ausgebildet bzw. mit einem geeigneten Gleitbelag versehen. Im Scheitelbereich der Rakelrolle 302 liegt die Profilleiste 31 entlang einer längsachsenparallelen Linie 316 auf der Rollrakel 302 auf bzw. wird auf diese gepreßt. Im Bereich des Rakelrollen­scheitelbereichs schwenkt oder kippt die Profilleiste 31 um die sich in diesem Bereich verlagernde Achse 316. Es ist von wesentlicher Bedeutung, daß die auf der Rakelrolle 302 auf­liegende Profilleiste 31 damit eine Dichtfunktion ausübt und als Dichtleiste wirkt, mit der der Substanzdruck in dem Raum 51 bzw. die Substanz gegenüber dem in Laufrichtung L hinter der Rollrakel liegenden Bereich abgedichtet ist. Die Roll­rakel 302 kann aber auch an einer seitlichen Flanke der nut­förmigen Aufnahme 314 entlang einer Linie 317 anliegen.According to the embodiments of FIGS. 2 to 6, the profile strip 31 is designed in combination with a roller doctor blade 302. The doctor blade 302 is freely guided in a groove-shaped receptacle parallel to the longitudinal axis, which is open to the web 4 and allows the doctor blade 302 to roll on the template 7 or relative to the web 4. The walls of the receptacle 314 are designed as sliding surfaces 315 or are provided with a suitable sliding coating. In the apex region of the doctor blade roller 302, the profile strip 31 lies on the roller doctor blade 302 along a line 316 parallel to the longitudinal axis or is pressed onto the latter. In the area of the doctor roller apex region, the profile bar 31 pivots or tilts about the axis 316 which is displaced in this area. It is essential that the profile bar 31 resting on the doctor roller 302 thus exerts a sealing function and acts as a sealing bar with which the substance pressure in the Room 51 or the substance is sealed off from the area lying behind the roller doctor blade in the running direction L. The roller doctor blade 302 can, however, also bear against a lateral flank of the groove-shaped receptacle 314 along a line 317.

Diese beiden Möglichkeiten sind in Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellt. Damit erreicht man zu der Scheitelanlage 316 eine zusätz­liche Abdichtung.These two possibilities are shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. This provides an additional seal for the crown system 316.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 6 stellt eine sehr vor­teilhafte magnetische Lagerung der Rollrakel 302 mittels eines längsachsenparallelen, insbesondere balkenförmigen, in die Profilleiste eingebetteten Permanentmagnetens dar. So läßt sich die Profilleiste 31 während des Aus- und Einbaus als einheitliches, quasi einteiliges Bauelement mit der Rollrakel 302 handhaben. Die Rakelrolle 302 besteht aus einem magnetisierbaren Material und wird mittels des Magne­ten 340 in der Aufnahme gegen die Gleitfläche 315 gehalten. Diese trennt die Rakelrolle räumlich von dem Magneten 340. Dem über die Rakelerstreckung liegenden Permanentmagnetstab 340 kommt eine Doppelfunktion zu. Außerhalb des Maschinen­betriebszustandes wirkt er infolge seiner Permanentmagnet­kraft als Rakelrollen-Haltestab oder -balken, während er im Betrieb der Maschine als magnetisierbare, von der Magnet­vorrichtung 6 anziehbare Masse zur Ausübung der Profil­leisten- bzw. Rakelanpressung dient.The embodiment according to FIG. 6 represents a very advantageous magnetic mounting of the doctor blade 302 by means of a permanent magnet, in particular bar-shaped, embedded in the profile strip. Thus, the profile strip 31 can be removed as a single, quasi one-piece component with the doctor blade during removal and installation Handle 302. The doctor roller 302 is made of a magnetizable material and is held in the receptacle against the sliding surface 315 by means of the magnet 340. This spatially separates the doctor roller from the magnet 340. The permanent magnet rod 340 lying over the doctor extension has a double function. Outside of the machine operating state, due to its permanent magnetic force, it acts as a squeegee roller holding rod or bar, while during operation of the machine it serves as a magnetizable mass which can be attracted by the magnetic device 6 to exert profile strip or squeegee pressure.

Die in Fig. 3 bis 7 dargestellte Profilleiste 31 weist zu­sätzlich zu der oben beschriebenen Profilfläche 310 eine entsprechend über die Rakelerstreckung sich erstreckende, der Auftragsfläche 4 zugewandte Profilfläche 311 auf, die zwischen der Rollrakel 302 und der Profilfläche 310 ange­ordnet ist. Sie bildet unmittelbar vor der Rakelrolle 302 einen relativ flachen und kurzen Arbeitsspalt, während mit der Profilfläche 310 ein relativ steilförmiger Substanzraum 51′ ausgebildet ist. Durch die Kombination der beiden Pro­filflächen 310, 311 ist erreicht, daß die Profilleiste 31 unmittelbar vor der Rakelrolle 302 mittels des Spalts r die eigentliche Substanzauftragungsfunktion leistet, während Größe und Form der Substanz vor der Rakelrolle 302 im wesentlichen durch Veränderung des keilförmigen Stauraumes 51′ einstellbar sind. Ganz allgemein ist mit einem flachen Arbeitsspalt unmittelbar vor der Rakelrolle 302 erreicht, daß damit im wesentlichen die Auftragsfunktion des Rakel­elements 31 ausgeübt wird, während die Rakelrolle 302 ent­lang der Rakellinie 36 gegen Substanz abdichtet und insbe­sondere die Schablone 7 sauber rakelt. Mit der Kombination einer bzw. mehrerer Profilleistenflächen mit der in der Profilleiste gelagerten Rakelrolle 302 ist unter Steuerung der Schwenkposition der Profilleiste 31 und damit der An­stellwinkel der Profilflächen auf sehr wirksame Weise er­reicht, die Auftragungswirkung von einer überwiegenden Roll­rakelwirkung zu einer Streichrakelwirkung bzw. umgekehrt insbesondere während des Maschinenbetriebs feinwirkend ein­zustellen.The profile strip 31 shown in FIGS. 3 to 7 has, in addition to the profile surface 310 described above, a profile surface 311 which extends over the doctor blade extension and faces the application surface 4 and is arranged between the roller doctor blade 302 and the profile surface 310. It forms a relatively flat and short working gap directly in front of the doctor roller 302, while a relatively steep substance space 51 'is formed with the profile surface 310. The combination of the two profile surfaces 310, 311 ensures that the profile strip 31 performs the actual substance application function directly in front of the doctor roller 302 by means of the gap r, while The size and shape of the substance in front of the doctor roller 302 are essentially adjustable by changing the wedge-shaped storage space 51 '. In general it is achieved with a flat working gap directly in front of the doctor roller 302 that the application function of the doctor element 31 is essentially carried out, while the doctor roller 302 seals along the doctor line 36 against substance and in particular the squeegee 7 cleanly. With the combination of one or more profiled strip surfaces with the doctor roller 302 mounted in the profiled strip, under control of the pivoting position of the profiled strip 31 and thus the angle of attack of the profiled surfaces, the application effect from a predominantly doctor blade effect to a doctor blade effect or vice versa, in particular, is achieved of the machine operation to be fine-tuned.

In Fig. 1 und 2 ist dargestellt, wie bereits eine geringe Höhenlageveränderung des Lagers 2 zu einer beträchtlichen Veränderung der Form und/oder Größe des Stauraumes 51 vor der Rakelanpreßlinie 36 führt. Aus einer gestrichelt ge­zeichneten Position mit dem Abstand A2 wird das Lager 2 in im wesentlichen senkrechter Richtung a zu der Auftragsfläche 4 auf die Höhe A1 abgesenkt. In Fig. 1 ist das Rakelelement 30, in Laufrichtung L der Warenbahn 4 gesehen, oberhalb der Schwenk-Längsachse 312 angeordnet, so daß die Schwenkbewe­gung S bei Abstandsverkleinerung linksherum in Richtung s erfolgt. Hingegen ist bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 2 die Gelenkachse 320, in Laufrichtung L gesehen, unterhalb der Schwenk-Längsachse 312 vorgesehen, so daß bei Absenkung des Lagers 2 eine Schwenkbewegung S rechtsherum in Richtung s erfolgt. So kann je nach Bedarf durch Abstands­änderung in Richtung a der Substanzraum 51 bzw. ein Profil­flächenneigungswinkel mit der Warenbahn 4 verkleinert bzw. vergrößert werden.1 and 2 show how a slight change in the height of the bearing 2 leads to a considerable change in the shape and / or size of the storage space 51 in front of the doctor pressure line 36. From a position shown in dashed lines with the distance A2, the bearing 2 is lowered to the height A1 in a substantially perpendicular direction a to the application surface 4. In Fig. 1, the doctor element 30, seen in the running direction L of the web 4, is arranged above the longitudinal pivot axis 312, so that the pivoting movement S takes place to the left in the direction s when the distance is reduced. On the other hand, in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, the hinge axis 320, viewed in the running direction L, is provided below the pivot longitudinal axis 312, so that when the bearing 2 is lowered, a pivoting movement S takes place to the right in the direction s. For example, the substance space 51 or a profile surface inclination angle with the web 4 can be reduced or enlarged by changing the distance in the direction a.

Die in Fig. 1 bis 9 dargestellten Profilflächen sind eben ausgebildet. Diese Flächen können aber auch für eine spe­zielle Beeinflussung des Substanzarbeitsraumes geeignet gekrümmt vorgesehen sein.The profile surfaces shown in Fig. 1 to 9 are flat. However, these surfaces can also be provided so as to be curved in a manner suitable for influencing the substance work space.

Die Höhenlage-gesteuerte Variierbarkeit des Substanzraumes geht besonders deutlich auch aus den Fig. 3 bis 5 hervor. Dort erkennt man, daß die Profilleiste 31 mit der Rollrakel 302 von einer Höhenposition A3 über A2 bis A1 variierbar ist.The height-controlled variability of the substance space is particularly clear from FIGS. 3 to 5. There you can see that the profile strip 31 can be varied with the roller doctor blade 302 from a height position A3 to A2 to A1.

Bei den Ausführungsformen gemäß Fig. 1 und 2 wird die Rakel­anpreßlinie 36 bei einer linksherum erfolgenden Schwenk­bewegung s in Warenbahnlaufrichtung L versetzt. Entsprechend erfolgt ein Versatz v gegen die Bahnlaufrichtung L bei einer rechtsherum erfolgenden Verschwenkung s. Damit ist durch Änderung des Abstandes A eine gezielte Veränderung der Lage der Anpreßlinie 36 entlang der Warenbahn 4 bzw. entlang der Schablone 7 erreichbar. Dies ist von besonderer Bedeutung, wenn sich Z.B. während eines Maschinenbetriebs die Anlage­linie der Schablone 7 auf der Warenbahn 4 ändert und/oder eine Rakel während des Betriebs ihre Lage verändert. Der­artigen Änderungen kann durch die gezielte Verschiebung v begegnet werden.In the embodiments according to FIGS. 1 and 2, the doctor pressure line 36 is displaced in the web running direction L during a swiveling movement s to the left. Correspondingly, there is an offset v against the web running direction L when pivoting s to the right. By changing the distance A, a targeted change in the position of the pressing line 36 along the web 4 or along the template 7 can thus be achieved. This is of particular importance if e.g. During machine operation, the contact line of the template 7 on the web 4 changes and / or a squeegee changes its position during operation. Such changes can be countered by the targeted shift v.

In Fig. 4 ist eine Höhenlageveränderbarkeit für ein nicht näher dargestelltes Lager 2 mit horizontaler Bewegungskompo­nente dargestellt. Das Lager, das den Tragholm 38 trägt, wird entlang eines Bogens K verschwenkt und/oder auf einer Kurve Z.B. mit Kulissen geführt. Bei Absenken des Lagers in Richtung L1 wird die Gelenkachse 320 gegen die Laufrichtung L versetzt. Da aber andererseits die Rakelanpreßlinie 36 infolge der Schwenkbewegung mit Richtung s der Profilleiste 31 in Warenbahnlaufrichtung L verschoben wird, können die beiden gegenläufigen Bewegungen ausgeglichen werden, so daß die Rollrakel 302 - abhängig von einem geeignet gewählten Krümmungsmaß der Kurve K - gezielt in ihrer mittigen Posi­tion über der Magnetvorrichtung 6 gehalten werden kann. Bei einem Absenken des Lagers in Richtung L2 wird der bereits durch die Schwenkbewegung erreichte Versatz der Anpreßlinie 36 in Warenlaufrichtung L verstärkt. Mit einem gezielten Links- oder Rechtsversatz kann auch bestimmt werden, an welcher Flanke der Aufnahme 314 die Rakelrolle zur Anlage kommen soll. Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß Fig. 4 ist das Halteelement 33 mit der Scheitellinie des Tragholmes 38 fest verbunden.4 shows a change in altitude for a bearing 2 (not shown in detail) with a horizontal movement component. The bearing, which carries the support beam 38, is pivoted along an arc K and / or guided on a curve ZB with scenes. When the bearing is lowered in the direction of L1, the hinge axis 320 is displaced against the running direction L. However, since, on the other hand, the doctor pressure line 36 is displaced in the web running direction L as a result of the pivoting movement in the direction s of the profile strip 31, the the two opposite movements are compensated for, so that the roller doctor blade 302 - depending on a suitably chosen curvature of the curve K - can be held in a targeted position in its central position above the magnet device 6. When the bearing is lowered in the direction of L2, the offset of the pressure line 36 in the direction of travel L that has already been achieved by the pivoting movement is increased. With a targeted left or right offset, it can also be determined at which flank of the receptacle 314 the doctor roller should come to rest. In the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 4, the holding element 33 is firmly connected to the apex line of the support bar 38.

In Fig. 5 und 7 ist die Schwenkhalterung 32 des Rakelele­ments 31 an dem Halteelement 33 mittels eines Scharnier­gelenks 321 ausgeführt. Gemäß Ausgestaltungen in Fig. 3 und 6 ist ein material-elastisches Gelenk vorgesehen, und in Fig. 4, 8 und 9 sind Klemm-Steckverbindungen 323 ausgebil­det. Dabei ist in Fig. 4 ein Anschlußelement 330 vorgesehen, das in eine Klemmschale des Halteelements 33 lösbar einge­setzt ist. Anschlußelemente 330 können vorteilhaft auch an anderen Teilen der Profilleiste angeordnet sein, um deren Schwenkanlenkung nach Wahl vorzunehmen.5 and 7, the swivel mount 32 of the doctor element 31 is carried out on the holding element 33 by means of a hinge joint 321. 3 and 6, a material-elastic joint is provided, and in FIGS. 4, 8 and 9, clamping plug connections 323 are formed. 4, a connecting element 330 is provided, which is detachably inserted into a clamping shell of the holding element 33. Connection elements 330 can advantageously also be arranged on other parts of the profile strip in order to carry out the pivoting of their choice.

Gemäß Fig. 7 ist hinsichtlich einer sehr vorteilhaften Be­weglichkeit bzw. Elastizität der Klinge der in der Profil­leiste 31 gelagerten Streichrakel 301 an der Profilleiste im Bereich der Rückseite der Streichrakel ein Rezeß 37 gebil­det.According to FIG. 7, a recess 37 is formed on the profile bar in the region of the rear side of the coating bar with regard to a very advantageous mobility or elasticity of the blade of the doctor blade 301 mounted in the profile bar 31.

In Fig. 8 und 9 ist eine hydraulisch anpreßbares Rakelele­ment 30 dargestellt. Zwischen dem Halteelement 33 und der Streichrakel 301 ist ein mit einem Druckmedium P beauf­schlagbares, mit elastischer Wandung versehenes Element 39 entlang der Rakelerstreckung vorgesehen, das je nach dem Beaufschlagungsgrad die Schreichrakel 301 gegen die Scha­blone 7 bzw. die Warenbahn 4 preßt.8 and 9, a hydraulically pressed doctor element 30 is shown. Between the holding element 33 and the doctor blade 301, an element 39 is provided with a pressure medium P, provided with elastic wall along the doctor blade extension, which presses the doctor blade 301 against the stencil 7 or the web 4 depending on the degree of exposure.

Die erfindungsgemäße Rakeleinrichtung ist auf die in den Figuren 1 bis 9 dargestellte Anordnung mit horizontal liegen­der Auftragsfläche 4 nicht beschränkt. Insbesondere bei magnetischer Anpressung der Rakel kann mit der erfindungs­gemäßen Rakeleinrichtung sehr vorteilhaft erreicht werden, daß das schwenkbewegliche Rakelelement in bezug auf eine vertikal liegende Auftragsfläche oder eine unter irgendeinem Winkel geneigte Auftragsfläche angeordnet und ausgerichtet ist.The doctor device according to the invention is not limited to the arrangement shown in FIGS. 1 to 9 with the application surface 4 lying horizontally. Particularly when the doctor blade is pressed magnetically, it can be achieved very advantageously with the doctor device according to the invention that the pivotable doctor element is arranged and aligned with respect to a vertical application surface or an application surface inclined at any angle.
