Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Flüssigkeit zum Plattenzylinder einer Offset-Rotationsdruckmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a device for supplying liquid to the plate cylinder of an offset rotary printing press according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus einem Forschungsbericht Nr. 3.216 "Feuchtwerkuntersuchung" des Bundesverbandes Druck bzw. der deutschen Forschungsgesellschaft für Druck- und Reproduktionstechnik (FOGRA) Seite 30, Abbildung 38 bekannt. Bei dieser Vorrichtung ist die weitere Auftragwalze nicht direkt am Farbreibzylinder angebracht, sondern um den Kontakt der Feuchtmittel führenden weiteren Auftragwalze mit dem Farbreibzylinder des Farbwerkes herzustellen, sind zwischen die weitere Auftragwalze und den Reibzylinder zusätzlich zwei oleophile Zwischenwalzen angebracht. Somit wird über die weitere Auftragwalze sowohl Farbe als auch Feuchtflüssigkeit auf den Plattenzylinder aufgebracht. Eine derartige Arbeitsweise ist für eine Reihe von Druckarbeiten gut geeignet, insbesondere wenn das Sujet nicht zum Geistern bzw. zum Schablonieren neigt, also z.B. stark gedeckt ist.Such a device is known from a research report No. 3.216 "Dampening unit examination" by the Federal Printing Association or the German Research Association for Printing and Reproduction Technology (FOGRA) page 30, Figure 38. In this device, the additional applicator roller is not attached directly to the ink rubbing cylinder, but in order to make the contact between the additional applicator roller carrying the dampening solution and the inking cylinder of the inking unit, two additional oleophilic intermediate rollers are attached between the additional applicator roller and the distribution cylinder. This means that both ink and dampening fluid are applied to the plate cylinder via the additional application roller. Such a method of working is well suited for a number of printing jobs, especially if the subject is not prone to ghosting or stenciling, for example is heavily covered.

Weiterhin ist aus der GB 2 034 250 A eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Flüssigkeiten zum Plattenzylinder mit einer Walze bekannt, die in einer zweiten Schaltstellung eine Trennung zwischen Farb- und Feuchtwerk bewirkt.Furthermore, from GB 2 034 250 A a device for supplying liquids to the plate cylinder with a roller is known which effects a separation between the inking and dampening units in a second switching position.

Aus der DE 2 438 169 A1 ist eine weitere Vorrichtung mit einer Walze bekannt, die zwecks Trennung von Farb- und Feuchtwerk an den Farbreibzylinder an- bzw. abschwenkbar ist.From DE 2 438 169 A1 a further device with a roller is known which can be swiveled in or out on the inking cylinder in order to separate the inking and dampening units.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, mit der Maschinensteuerung verknüpft eine der Zwischenwalzen von der Farbzufuhr und/oder Feuchtmittel-zufuhr abzuschalten.The object of the invention is to switch off one of the intermediate rollers, linked to the machine control, from the ink supply and / or dampening solution supply.

Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die im Kennzeichen des ersten Patentanspruches angegebenen Merkmale. Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.The object is achieved by the features specified in the characterizing part of the first claim. Further developments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Der Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, daß mit der zweiten Einstellung der Zwischenwalzen 3; 4 bei vom Farbwerk getrenntem Feuchtwerk mit gutem Erfolg mit der gattungsbildenden Vorrichtung Sujets gedruckt werden können, welche zum Geistern bzw. zum Schablonieren neigen, also beispielsweise mager sind. Je nach Trennstelle bleibt mindestens eine Spaltstelle im Farbwerk oder im Feuchtwerk zur Farb- oder Feuchtmittelspeicherung erhalten.The advantage of the invention is that with the second setting of the intermediate rollers 3; 4 With dampening system separated from the inking unit, subjects which are prone to ghosting or stenciling, for example are lean, can be printed successfully with the generic device. Depending on the separation point, at least one gap point is retained in the inking unit or in the dampening unit for storing ink or dampening solution.

Nachstehend soll die Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung in einem Ausführungsbeispiel kurz erläutert werden.The invention will be briefly explained in the following in an exemplary embodiment with reference to a drawing.

Hierzu zeigt:

This shows:
Fig. 1
1 shows a schematic side view of a device for supplying liquid to the plate cylinder of an offset rotary printing press with the parts essential to the invention,
Fig. 2
a second embodiment of the invention.

Die Vorrichtung umfaßt einen Plattenzylinder 1, der mittels Zapfen an beiden Enden in Seitenwänden 13 der Druckmaschine gelagert ist. Die Zapfen sind in an sich bekannter, nicht näher dargestellten Weise durch außerhalb der einen Seitenwand 13 angeordnete Zahnräder vom Hauptantrieb der Maschine aus angetrieben.The device comprises a plate cylinder 1, which is supported by means of pins at both ends in side walls 13 of the printing press. The pins are driven in a manner known per se, not shown in detail, by gearwheels arranged outside the one side wall 13 from the main drive of the machine.

Zur Zufuhr der Feuchtflüssigkeit ist ein Wasserkasten vorgesehen, in dem eine Wasserkastenwalze 5 teilweise eintaucht. Die Stärke der Feuchtflüssigkeit wird mittels einer Dosierwalze 6 eingestellt. Das Filmfeuchtwerk 2, 5, 6 führt somit die Feuchtflüssigkeit direkt auf die Druckplatte des Plattenzylinders 1 und zwar auf einem sehr kurzen Weg, so daß die Feuchtmittelverdunstung gering gehalten ist. Antrieb und Einstellung der Feuchtwerkswalzen zueinander ist bekannt und wird deshalb nicht näher erläutert.A water box is provided for supplying the dampening liquid, in which a water box roller 5 is partially immersed. The strength of the dampening liquid is adjusted by means of a metering roller 6. The film dampening unit 2, 5, 6 thus guides the dampening liquid directly onto the pressure plate of the plate cylinder 1 and in a very short way, so that the dampening solution evaporation is kept low. The drive and adjustment of the dampening unit rollers to one another is known and is therefore not explained in more detail.

Beispielsweise ist die zweite oleophile Zwischenwalze 4 in eine zweite Schaltstellung verbringbar, wobei die Zwischenwalze 4 beidseitig an dem einen Ende eines Traghebels 9 gelagert ist, der um eine Achse 11 in den Seitenwänden 13 gestellfest schwenkbar gelagert ist. Am anderen Ende des Traghebels 9 ist ein von der Maschinensteuerung 14 gesteuerter Arbeitszylinder 10, z.B. ein Pneumatik- oder ein Hydraulikzylinder angelenkt, der ebenfalls um eine Achse 12 gestellfest verschwenkbar ist.For example, the second oleophilic intermediate roller 4 can be moved into a second switching position, the intermediate roller 4 being mounted on both sides at one end of a carrying lever 9 which is pivotally mounted about the axis 11 in the side walls 13. At the other end of the carrying lever 9 there is a working cylinder 10 controlled by the machine control 14, e.g. a pneumatic or a hydraulic cylinder articulated, which is also pivotable about an axis 12 fixed to the frame.

In der ersten Schaltstellung sind die Zwischenwalzen 3, 4 in bekannter Weise als Verbindungswalzen zwischen Farb- und Feuchtwerk geschaltet, in der zweiten Schaltstellung in bisher nicht bekannter Weise getrennt, so daß z.B. die Zwischenwalze 3 zugleich als zusätzliche Reiterwalze dient, um das Feuchtmittelüberangebot infolge Plattenzylinderkanalrückwirkungen auszugleichen, wodurch das Druckergebnis verbessert wird.In the first switching position, the intermediate rollers 3, 4 are connected in a known manner as connecting rollers between the inking and dampening units, in the second switching position they are separated in a previously unknown manner, so that e.g. the intermediate roller 3 also serves as an additional rider roller in order to compensate for the excess dampening solution as a result of plate cylinder channel reactions, which improves the printing result.

In einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind die beiden Zwischenwalzen 3, 4 an Armen eines Doppelhebels 9 (Fig. 2) gelagert, der mittels Arbeitszylinder 10 um die Achse des Farbreibzylinders 8 zur Feucht-Farbwerkstrennung verschwenkbar ist. Dadurch bleiben die Zwischenwalzen 3, 4 dem Farbwerk als Speicherwalzen sowie Spalt- und ggf. Verreibstellen erhalten.In a second embodiment of the invention, the two intermediate rollers 3, 4 are mounted on the arms of a double lever 9 (FIG. 2) which can be pivoted about the axis of the inking cylinder 8 by means of a working cylinder 10 for separating the inking unit. As a result, the intermediate rollers 3, 4 remain in the inking unit as storage rollers and nip and possibly rubbing points.

Alternativ zu der von der Maschinensteuerung abgeleiteten Verschwenkung, ist auch eine manuelle Verschwenkung der Traghebel 9 möglich, z.B. durch am Traghebel 9 angreifende Stellschrauben, die mit einer zwischen Gestell und Traghebel 9 befestigten Feder zusammenwirken. In der Zeichnung ist dies nicht dargestellt, da allgemein bekannt.As an alternative to the pivoting derived from the machine control, manual pivoting of the carrying lever 9 is also possible, e.g. by adjusting screws acting on the support lever 9, which interact with a spring fastened between the frame and the support lever 9. This is not shown in the drawing, since it is generally known.

Zusätzlich kann die erste Zwischenwalze 3 mit einem eine axiale Hin- und Herbewegung bewirkenden bekannten Antriebsmechanismus versehen sein. Ein derartiger Antrieb ist in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt, es ist aber leicht vorstellbar, daß er in bekannter Weise vorgesehen wird.In addition, the first intermediate roller 3 can be provided with a known drive mechanism which effects an axial reciprocating movement. Such a drive is not shown in the drawing, but it is easy to imagine that it is provided in a known manner.

Die Lagerung der Zwischenwalzen 3, 4 im Traghebel 9 kann so gewählt werden, daß z.B. deren Zapfen über ein bekanntes Walzenschloß aufgenommen werden und die Zwischenwalzen somit ortsveränderlich sind.The storage of the intermediate rollers 3, 4 in the support lever 9 can be selected so that e.g. whose pegs are received via a known roller lock and the intermediate rollers are thus portable.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf die vorstehenden zwei Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt.The invention is not restricted to the above two exemplary embodiments.

Es ist auch denkbar, die Walzen 2, 3, 4 bei der Feucht-Farbwerkstrennung außer Kontakt zu bringen, wozu die Zwischenwalzen 3 und 4 in getrennt schwenkbaren Traghebeln aufzunehmen wären. Weitere Trennstellen, z.B. zwischen den Walzen 4 und 8 sind realisierbar.It is also conceivable to bring the rollers 2, 3, 4 out of contact during the dampening of the inking unit, for which purpose the intermediate rollers 3 and 4 would have to be accommodated in separately pivotable carrying levers. Further separation points, for example between the rollers 4 and 8, can be realized.
