Definitions

  • the present invention relates to printing presses and more particularly to systems for automatically washing blankets on blanket cylinders of offset printing units.
  • the present invention provides an automatic blanket wash system that overcomes difficulties in the prior art by providing for a flow through spray bar.
  • a plurality of spray system units are disposed in a first fluid path.
  • Each spray system unit has a fluid input and a fluid output and includes upper and lower spray bars for spraying the mixture respectively onto the upper and lower blankets of the printing unit with which the spray system unit is associated.
  • a spray control arrangement associated with each spray unit, causes, upon activation, the mixture to be sprayed by the spray bar.
  • a supply line is in fluid communication with a reservoir and the spray system units.
  • a return line is also in fluid communication with the spray system units and the reservoir.
  • a delivery arrangement delivers quantities of water and solvent into the reservoir in predetermined proportions.
  • a pumping arrangement causes circulation of the mixture from the reservoir through the supply line, through the first fluid path, through the return line, and then back to the reservoir.
  • the circulation of the mixture prevents settling of the solvent and to ensure homogeneity of the mixture throughout the system.
  • a wash control arrangement implements the wash cycle, including actuating the spray control arrangement so as to cause the mixture to be sprayed by the spray bars.
  • the pumping arrangement circulates the mixture through the system.
  • a pressure control arrangement upon actuation by the wash control arrangement, increases fluid pressure in the system upon implementation of the wash cycle.
  • each spray bar includes a second fluid path therethrough disposed between a unit fluid input and a unit fluid output.
  • a diverter arrangement is disposed between the unit fluid input and the second fluid path and is normally closed. Upon actuation by the wash control arrangement, the diverter arrangement permits the mixture to flow through the second fluid path in each spray bar.
  • the pumping arrangement circulates the mixture throughout the system normally at low pressure.
  • the wash control arrangement includes an arrangement for implementing a wash cycle as follows. First, the wash control arrangement actuates the diverter arrangement to permit the mixture to flow through the second fluid path within the spray bar. Then the wash control arrangement actuates the pressure control arrangement to increase the fluid pressure within the second fluid path within the spray bars. Finally, the wash control arrangement actuates the spray control arrangement so as to cause the mixture to be sprayed by the spray bars.
  • FIG. 1 shows the basic fluid flow in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
  • a system control enclosure and mixture reservoir 11 receives water over line 114 and solvent over line 113. These are permitted to enter a common reservoir in item 11 where they mix.
  • the washing mixture is delivered via supply line 111, to a plurality of unit controls 121, 122, 123, and 124; each unit control is associated with a single printing unit having upper and lower blankets that may be in need of cleaning.
  • These printing units are identified as items 131-134 respectively.
  • upper spray bar 125 and lower spray bar 126 associated with the upper and lower blanket cylinders of unit 134.
  • similar spray bars are disposed with respect to each of the other printing units.
  • Each spray bar is in fluid communication with the unit control for its particular printing unit. From each unit control, here item 124, there is provided a return line 112 back to the reservoir in item 11.
  • the washing mixture is circulated continuously through the supply line 111 and back through the return line 112 to the reservoir. In this fashion, the washing mixture is mixed on a continuous basis.
  • the system handles effectively a mixture of TEX 300 Concentrate, with water, available from Printex Products Corp., P.O. Box 1479, Rochester, NY 14603. This solvent forms a milky-white emulsion when mixed with water, but is subject to settling unless the mixture is continuosly agitated.
  • the present invention provides the agitation inside a mixing tank in the reservoir and by continuous circulation. A chemical solvent in the mixture, upon spraying of the blanket, lifts foreign matter from the blanket of the blanket cyclinder. The printed paper web, by way of absorbtion, then carries the lifted foreign matter away from the blankets.
  • the automatic blanket wash system described so far herein can also be configured to service multiple press lines.
  • a central supply line 141 is in direct fluid communication with the reservoir 11 and the supply line 111 for a press line subsystem servicing an individual press line.
  • a central return line 142 is also in direct fluid communication with the reservoir 11 and the return line 112 from the press line subsystem servicing the press line.
  • the central supply line 141 and the central return line 142 have one way check valves 139 disposed therein for insuring circulation of the mixture in only one direction through the system.
  • Supply line 111 in a preferred embodiment, has associated therewith a pneumatic accumulator 137 disposed along supply line 111 and in communication with a central air supply line 145.
  • the accumulator 137 is pre-charged by compressed air to between 65 and 75 psig. Prior to spraying, the hydraulic pressure within the system is increased to 80 psig.
  • the accumulator 137 provides a stored cushion of pneumatic pressure in the range of 75 psig against the hydraulic pressure in the system. As the fluid pressure in the system drops below 80 psig upon the commencement of spraying the accumulator 137 provides a pressure back-up to maintain pressure in the system during spraying at 65-75 psig.
  • the return line 112 also has a one way check valve 139 associated therewith for insuring circulation of the mixture in only one direction through the return line 112.
  • a restrictive orifice is disposed in the central return line 142 at the mixing tank (see item 21, Fig. 2) disposed inside the reservoir 11.
  • the restrictive orifice causes the mixture to enter the mixture reservoir 11 under increased pressure, thereby aiding in the agitation of the mixture within the reservoir 11 and, thus, further insuring a homogeneous mixture for recirculation.
  • a press line shut off valve 138 is also disposed in the supply line 111 to each press line subsystem servicing an individual press line for shutting off the plurality of spray system units servicing the individual press line under conditions described below.
  • each spray system unit includes a diverter valve (shown in Figure 3) in the unit controls 121-124.
  • the diverter valve in a first position, the diverter valve shunts out the second fluid path to permit fluid to flow directly from the unit's fluid input 135 to its fluid output 136, such diverter valve being normally disposed in the first position.
  • the diverter valve permits fluid flow from the unit's fluid input 135, through the fluid path within the spray bars 125 and 126, to the unit's fluid output 136.
  • the diverter valve is actuatable by the wash control arrangement and, in a preferred embodiment, is pneumatically activated.
  • the wash control arrangement includes an arrangement for actuating the diverter valve to dispose the valve in the second position, so as to permit recirculation of the mixture in the spray system unit just prior to actuation of the spray valves.
  • the mixture is circulated through the system under low pressure.
  • the unit controls 121-124 are actuated to open the respective diverter valves permitting fluid flow from the unit control input to the spray bars associated with each unit control.
  • a wash valve in the return line 142 (shown as item 211 in Figure 2) is closed, causing an increase in pressure in the system. Diverting circulation away from the fluid paths within the spray bars until just prior to commencement of spraying prevents leakage of the mixture from the spray valves disposed in each spray bar.
  • circulation of the mixture through the system under low pressure until just prior to the commencement of spraying prevents leakage of the mixture throughout the system.
  • a solenoid valve (shown in Fig 3) in each unit control box 121-124 is in communication with an air supply line 115 and controls the flow of air from the air supply line 115 to pneumatically actuated valves in each spray system unit. ( Figures 4-6, 8-9).
  • the solenoid Upon activation by the wash control arrangement, the solenoid activates the pneumatic valve associated with each spray nozzle so as to cause the mixture to be sprayed by the spray nozzle.
  • the air supply line 115 for each press line subsystem is in direct communication with a central air supply line 145.
  • Figure 1 shows the spray system units disposed in parallel along the first fluid path, between the supply line 111 and the return line 112.
  • the fluid input 125 of each spray system unit is in direct communication with the supply line 111 and the fluid output 136 of each spray system unit is in direct communication with the return line 112.
  • each press line subsystem in the multiple press line configuration, is disposed in parallel between the central supply line 141 and the central return line 142.
  • the spray system units are disposed in parallel along the first fluid path
  • the spray system units can also be disposed in series along the first fluid path.
  • one of the spray system units is the first spray system unit in the series and another of the spray system units is the last spray system unit in this series.
  • the fluid output of each spray system unit is then in communication with the fluid input of the next spray system unit in the series.
  • the fluid input of the first spray system unit is then in direct communication with the supply line and the fluid output of the last spray system unit is in direct communication with the return line.
  • solvent is pumped by pump 242 from solvent reservoir 27 through solvent metering valve 252 into the mixture reservoir 21 holding the wash mixture.
  • Water enters under line 114 through water pressure reducing regulator 113 and water metering valve 251.
  • Pressure in the solvent flow is regulated by pressure valve 243.
  • Specific gravity of the wash mixture is monitored by density sensor 261 and a specific gravity readout 263 is provided, so that if a specific gravity is outside predetermined limits, the system may be shut down or the quantities of water or solvent in the reservoir 21 may be altered.
  • pump system 23 pumps the wash mixture from reservoir 21 over lines 141 and 111 past the mixture density sensor 261, past each of the unit control boxes, including unit control box 12, which is illustrated with its associated spray bars. There is also provided a return lines 112 and 142 back to the mixture reservoir 21.
  • all the seals throughout the system are either Teflon or Viton and are essentially inert to the mixture circulating through the system.
  • the wash control valve 211 On initiation of the wash cycle, the wash control valve 211 is closed, in a preferred embodiment, by the wash control arrangement 22 and pressure builds up in the supply line 111. Maximum pressure in the fluid supply line is regulated by pressure valve 231 interposed between the supply line 111 and the reservoir 21. Typically, the pressure build-up is regulated in the vicinity of 80 pounds per square inch (550 K Pa).
  • the actuation of the wash control valve is performed by the spray control system 22 in accordance with systems well known in the art.
  • spray of the wash mixture is permitted to emanate from the spray bar in a range of about one-half to one second.
  • the web, or paper, itself serves to blot out the wash mixture from the blanket cylinder.
  • the valves in the unit controls may be actuated in any desired sequence. Under one protocol, the spray system unit associated with the printer spray system unit associated with the unit most remote from the web dryer is actuated first, then the next remote, etc.; this protocol minimizes the amount of web wasted since the portion of the web serving to blot the most remote unit may also serve to blot the next most remote unit, etc.
  • Figure 3 shows the unit control box 31 in detail.
  • the mixture in a preferred embodiment, is normally circulated through the system under low pressure and circulated from the supply line through the unit input connection 33 through the diverter valve 32, which is normally closed.
  • the mixture therefore, normally circulates from the unit fluid input connection 33 through the diverter valve 32 and through circulation line 312 and out through the unit fluid output connection 310.
  • the diverter valve 32 Upon initiation of the wash cycle, the diverter valve 32 is pneumatically actuated by a solenoid valve 39 to allow the mixture to flow through the upper and lower spray bars associated with the unit control 31. Upon actuation of the diverter valve 32, the mixture flows through the fluid path within each the upper and the lower spray bars via input lines 38A and 38B, respectively, and then out of each spray bar via return lines 38C and 38D, respectively.
  • a flow detector 35 is located downstream of the diverter valve 32 to monitor if a failure has occurred to the diverter valve 32 and the mixture is flowing into the spray bars at any time other than during the wash cycle.
  • the flow detector 35 In the event the flow detector 35 detects flow of the mixture at any time other than during the wash cycle, the flow detector 35 will transmit a fail signal to the wash control arrangement thereby setting in motion a command to shut off the mixture supply valve 138 (see Fig 1) to the press line subsystem servicing the individual press line.
  • fluid pressure within the fluid paths is increased, as described above.
  • the spray valves in the spray bars are pneumatically activated by two small three-way solenoid valves 36A and 36B, associated with the upper and lower spray bars respectively, thereby causing the spray valves to spray the mixture.

  • the switches are electrically wired to assure a fail safe mode. If either solenoid valve 36A or 36B opens at anytime other than during the wash cycle, the respective pressure switch, 37A or 37B, will transmit a fail signal to the wash control arrangement thereby setting in motion a command to shut off the mixture supply valve 138 (see Fig.1) to the press line subsystem servicing the individual press line.
  • each return line 38C and 38D has a spring-loaded check valve 34 therein placed near the circulating line 312 within the unit control, to assure circulation of the mixture through the spray bar in only one direction and preventing any flow of the mixture from the circulation line 312 into the spray bar through the return lines 38C and 38D.
  • a venturi insert 313 is incorporated into a connecting tee 314, between the unit spray bar return line 38D and the circulation line 312, to produce a low pressure status over the two intersecting return lines 38C and 38D, thereby assuring that the static pressures inside the spray bars are lower than the circulating mixture pressure.
  • FIG. 4 shows an integral flow through spray bar in accordance with the embodiment discussed herein.
  • Spray bar manifold 41 has integral valve bodies disposed therein. Each valve body has a nozzle assembly 44 protruding from the surface of the spray bar manifold 41 and from which the spray mixture emanates.
  • Each spray bar in a preferred embodiment, is divided into sections, preferably quadrants. A quadrant, or web size, control valve 42 regulates spraying of the mixture by the valve bodies disposed within the section.
  • the spray bar manifold contains as many spray valves as required to provide proper distribution of the mixture across the face of a blanket. The number, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, is always a multiple of four so the blanket wash system can accomodate running a quarter web, half web, three quarter web or a full web.
  • Each spray valve disposed within the spray bar manifold 41 also has an overriding manual valve stop 43 associated therewith.
  • the overriding manual stop 43 on each nozzle prevents the spray valve from opening and the spray nozzle from spraying even when a pneumatic signal is applied to the spray valve. This allows a pressman to control the width of the spray pattern to conform to web widths other than the quarter, half, three quarters and full web adjustable by the quadrant control valves 42.
  • the spray bar manifold 41 of Fig. 4 is shown with four passages running lengthwise through the manifold.
