Definitions

  • the invention relates to a doctor blade inking unit with at least one chamber doctor blade which can be adjusted to an anilox roller and which comprises an ink chamber consisting of a U-shaped base body, two side walls and at least one doctor blade which bends when it is bent in the direction of the side wall.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a doctor blade ink unit of this type, which has wear-free lateral boundaries, in which consequently no abrasion parts can be stored in the cups of the anilox roller, and which is simple.
  • doctor blade inking unit according to the invention is primarily intended for use in offset printing machines.
  • a chamber doctor blade In the exemplary embodiment shown, which is intended for use in an offset printing press, a chamber doctor blade, generally designated 1, is provided.
  • the chambered doctor blade 1 comprises a U-shaped base body 2, two side walls 3 and two doctor blades 4, 5.
  • the two doctor blades 4, 5 can each be fixed by means of a clamping bar 6, 7 and only schematically indicated screws 8.
  • An ink tray 9 is provided below the chambered doctor blade 1. The means for fixing these parts on the printing press and for ink supply are not shown, they result from the applications mentioned at the beginning.
  • the chamber doctor blade 1 can be adjusted with the two doctor blades 4, 5 against an anilox roller 10.
  • the doctor blade 4 scrapes off the excess ink supplied in the direction of rotation of the anilox roller 10 indicated by the arrow a, while the doctor blade 5 closes the chamber doctor blade 1 at the bottom.
  • each side wall 3 has an area 11 of lesser wall thickness facing the anilox roller 10, which preferably tapers in the direction of the anilox roller 10 and is delimited at the front by a curved narrow surface 12.
  • the surface 12 forms with the anilox roller 10 a gap 13, the height A of which is between 0.1 and 3 mm. It is not necessary that the gap height remains constant over the entire length, rather the gap height can also vary within the specified dimensions.
  • the inside 14 of the area 11 directly adjoins the inside 15 of the side wall 3, but, as shown in FIG. 4, is beveled by an acute angle ⁇ with respect to this.
  • the outer side 16 of the area 11 abuts an oblique end face 17 of the wall 3 approximately at right angles, so that the outer side 16 is set back inwards with respect to the outer side 18 of the wall 3.
  • the area 11 is further provided on its upper side with a bevel 19 which forms an acute angle with the upper side 20 of the side wall 3.
  • a wedge-shaped gap 21 thus results between the doctor blade 4 and the bevel 19.
  • the greatest height of this wedge-shaped gap in the region of the outer end of the doctor blade 4 is at least 0.1 mm. This bevel ensures that the doctor blade 4 can bend slightly resiliently when it is applied to the anilox roller 10.
  • the doctor blade 4 is pressed against the base body 2 as well as against the upper side 20 of each side wall 3 by means of the clamping bar 6.
  • the doctor blade 4 ends in the plane of the outer wall 18 of the side wall 3, it thus projects outwards beyond the regions 11 with its end facing the anilox roller 10.
  • the other doctor blade 5 is pressed against the base body 2 and the undersides of the side walls 3 and regions 11 by means of the clamping bar 7. So it closes the chambered doctor blade 1 up to the surface 12.
  • the arrangement can also be used for reversible printing presses in which the anilox roller then rotates in the opposite direction to the arrow a. In this case, however, it is more favorable to arrange both doctor blades with their ends facing the anilox roller tapering towards one another and to use the respectively negatively employed knife for doctoring off the ink supplied in excess.
  • drain plate 22 On each outside 18 and thus also on the lateral outside of the doctor blade 4 there is a drain plate 22.
  • the drain plate 22 extends at one end at least up to the end faces of the doctor blade 4 and at the other end to just above the ink tray 9.
  • the drain plate 22 is connected to the associated side wall 3 by screws 23.
  • the lower end 24 of the drain plate 22 facing the paint tray 9 is expediently angled inward so that paint dripping along the drain plate will certainly get into the paint tray 9.
  • Bypass bores 25 can also be provided in the regions 11. As a result, an undesirably high hydrodynamic pressure on the doctor blade 4 can be avoided during operation, which can deform the blade knife 4 in particular in the case of a knife positioned positively on the anilox roller 10 and thus leads to an uneven adjustment to the anilox roller 10.
  • the dynamic viscosity of which is greater than 1 dPas (decipascal second), preferably greater than 40 dPas, and if it is placed against the anilox roller 10, ink initially spills out of the gap 13 as well as out of the wedge-shaped gap 21.
  • the paint can drip back into the paint tray 9 through the space between the drain plate 22 and the outside 16 of the area 11 of the side wall 3. It has been shown that when the anilox roller 10 is stationary, there is no significant wetting of the anilox roller 10 with ink in the area of the protrusion of the doctor blade 4 over the area 11 of the side wall 3.
  • the surface of the anilox roller 10 takes the ink within the chamber doctor blade 1 in the circumferential direction of the anilox roller 10.
  • the color that does not enter the wells of the anilox roller 10 is carried along in the direction of the arrows b to d.
  • the speed is directly adjacent to the anilox roller 10, cf. Arrow b, largest.
  • the speed drops inwards, cf. Arrows c and d, ab.
  • the ink flow parallel to the axis of the anilox roller 10 is reduced. This means that, even at medium speeds, no more ink emerges through the gap 13.
  • the color passing through the gaps 21 ensures that the anilox roller 10 is inked to such an extent that the outer sides 16 of the areas 11 of the side walls 3 can coincide approximately with the set edges.
  • the ink emerging from the column 12 colors the anilox roller 10 in this area during operation so well that the solid ink density during printing in this marginal area is still in the range of the measurable tolerances, while practically no inking of the anilox roller 10 occurs outside this limit .
