Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Pumpenanordnung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a pump arrangement according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Pumpenbetriebene Farbwerke sind bekannt aus der DE - 33 16 558 C2. Darin wird über flexible Schläuche unter Zwischenschaltung eines Pumpensystems die Stempelfarbe ständig aus einem Vorratsbehälter zugeführt. Als Pumpensystem finden Schlauchpumpen und Membranpumpen Verwendung. Bei Schlauchpumpen kann eine unpräzise Führung der Schläuche zu einem Funktionsausfall führen und nach längerem Stillstand der Maschine und Eintrocknung der Farbe ein Platzen des Schlauches bei erneuter in Betriebnahme zu folgenreichen Verschmutzungen vieler Maschinenteile führen.Pump-operated inking units are known from DE - 33 16 558 C2. In it, the stamping ink is constantly fed from a storage container via flexible hoses with the interposition of a pump system. Peristaltic pumps and diaphragm pumps are used as the pump system. In the case of peristaltic pumps, imprecise routing of the hoses can lead to a malfunction and, after the machine has been idle for a long time and the paint has dried, bursting of the hose when it is started up again can result in serious contamination of many machine parts.

Die Verwendung von Membranpumpen erfordert eine aufwendige Sychronisierung der Zu- und Abförderpumpe. Außerdem kann auch durch Verschmutzung oder Farbverdickung ein Ausfall der Farbgebung eintreten. Die Vermutzungsgefahr ist auch bei der Verwendung von Ventilen gegeben, wie sie die EP - 0 376 477 A2 vorschlägt. Andere Farbwerke, die ohne ein Pumpensystem arbeiten, z.B. durch Übertragen der Farbe aus einem Vorratsbehälter mittels eines in die Farbe reichenden porösen Abstreifers, entsprechend der DE - 38 16 548 C2, weisen für Hochleistungsmaschinen, die bis zu 10.000 Frankierungen pro Stunde gestatten,eine zu geringe Kapazität auf.The use of diaphragm pumps requires complex synchronization of the feed and discharge pumps. In addition, the coloring can also fail due to soiling or thickening of the paint. There is also a risk of contamination when using valves, as proposed by EP - 0 376 477 A2. Other inking units that work without a pump system, for example by transferring the ink from a storage container by means of a porous scraper reaching into the ink, in accordance with DE-38 16 548 C2, assign one for high-performance machines that allow up to 10,000 frankings per hour low capacity.

Aus der GB 626707 ist eine Pumpanordnung für einen Farbvorratstank für Druckmaschinen bekannt, die mittels einer Gewindespindel, die in einem Führungsrohr gelagert ist, Farbe von einem Farbvorratsbehälter in einen zweiten Behälter fördert. Der zweite Behälter setzt direkt mit seiner Trichteröffnung auf die Manteloberfläche der Walze auf und versorgt diese von oben mit Farbe. Gleichzeitig taucht diese Walze in den ersten Farbbehälter.From GB 626707 a pump arrangement for an ink supply tank for printing presses is known which conveys ink from an ink supply container into a second container by means of a threaded spindle which is mounted in a guide tube. The second hopper sits directly on the surface of the roller with its funnel opening and supplies it with paint from above. At the same time, this roller dips into the first ink tank.

Diese Farbzuführung gewährleistet nicht die Farbmenge mit gleichbleibender Konsistenz zu dosieren. Eine schnelle Verschmutzung des Farbwerkes wird dadurch begünstigt, daß sich Farbbehälter und Farbwerk in einem Gehäuse befinden. Das Gesamtsystem ist bei Farbübersättigung nicht ausreichend abgedichtet. Bei Stillstand des Systems ist die Ausführung von Abdrucken mit geforderter Druckqualität durch Farbantrocknungen im Farbwerk nicht erfüllt.This ink supply does not ensure that the amount of paint is dosed with the same consistency. Rapid contamination of the inking unit is promoted by the fact that the ink tank and inking unit are located in one housing. The entire system is not sufficiently sealed in the event of color oversaturation. When the system is at a standstill, the execution of prints with the required print quality due to ink drying in the inking unit is not fulfilled.

In der US 4164185 ist eine Pumpanordnung beschrieben die die Farbe für eine Druckmaschine ständig durchmischt, um ein Eindicken der Farbe zu verhindern.US 4164185 describes a pump arrangement which constantly mixes the ink for a printing press in order to prevent the ink from thickening.

Der Erfidnung lag die Aufgabe zugrunde, für Frankier- und Wertstempelmaschinen eine Pumpenanordnung für die Farbzufuhr zum Farbwerk zu schaffen, die auch bei Farbverdickungen und Farbverschmutzungen funktionssicher arbeitet und die für Hochleistungs-Frankiermaschinen einsetzbar ist.The invention was based on the task of creating a pump arrangement for the ink supply to the inking unit for franking and stamping machines, which works reliably even with ink thickening and ink soiling and which can be used for high-performance franking machines.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch die Erfindung gelöst, wie sie im Kennzeichnungsteil des ersten Patentanspruches dargestellt ist.This object is achieved by the invention as shown in the characterizing part of the first claim.

Durch die elektrisch angestriebene Gewindespindel wird eine Verdickung in kürzester Zeit aufgelöst. Zudem wird durch diese Art des Pumpens eine relativ große Umwälzung des Farbvorrates erzielt, die für Hochleistungs-Frankiermaschinen erfoderlich ist.A thickening is quickly resolved by the electrically driven threaded spindle. In addition, this type of pumping achieves a relatively large circulation of the ink supply, which is necessary for high-performance franking machines.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, daß die Gewindespindel als Unterdruck- oder als Überdruckpumpe betrieben werden kann. Dadurch sind variable Angleichungen an die Konsistenz der Farbe wie auch an konstruktive Bindgungen ermöglicht.Another advantage is that the threaded spindle can be operated as a vacuum or an overpressure pump. This enables variable adjustments to the consistency of the color as well as to constructive bonds.

Andere vorteilhafte Maßnahmen zeigen die weiteren Unteransprüche.The other subclaims show other advantageous measures.

Anhand einer Zeichnung wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert. Die Zeichnung zeigt die prinzipielle Pumpenanordnung nach der Erfindung, wobei eine Ausführung mit saugender Gewindespindel dargestellt ist.The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of a drawing. The drawing shows the basic pump arrangement according to the invention, an embodiment with a suction threaded spindle being shown.

Die Pumpenanordnuung besteht aus zwei Farbbehältern 2, 5, von denen jeweils einer als Farbvorratsbehälter dient. Beide Farbbehälter 2, 5 sind übereinander angeordnet, wobei der obere Farbbehälter 5 auch teilweise in den unteren Farbbehälter 2 ragt. Bei Verwendung in Frankier- oder Wertstempelmaschinen für eine geringere Anzahl von Frankierungen und damit geringerem Farbbedarf kann der obere Farbbehälter 5 ganz im unteren Farbbehälter 2 integriert sein. Beide Farbbehälter 2, 5 sind durch ein Führungsrohr 3 miteinander verbunden. In dem Führungsrohr 3 ist eine Gewindespindel 1 gelagert. Die Gewindespindel 1 wird über eine Kupplung 6, z.B. aus Kegel- und Stirnrädern gebildet, von einem Elektromotor 7 als Pumpenaggregat bewegt.The Pumpenanordnuung consists of two paint containers 2, 5, one of which serves as an ink reservoir. Both paint containers 2, 5 are arranged one above the other, the upper paint container 5 also partially protruding into the lower paint container 2. When used in franking or stamping machines for a smaller number of frankings and thus lower ink requirements, the upper ink container 5 can be completely integrated in the lower ink container 2. Both paint containers 2, 5 are connected to each other by a guide tube 3. A threaded spindle 1 is mounted in the guide tube 3. The threaded spindle 1 is moved by an electric motor 7 as a pump unit via a coupling 6, for example formed from bevel and spur gears.

Die Kupplung 6 kann innerhalb oder außerhalb des oberen Farbbehälters konstruktiv angeordnet sein.The coupling 6 can be structurally arranged inside or outside the upper paint container.

Die Farbbehälter 2, 5 sind über getrennte Rohr- oder Schlauchverbindungen 4, 8 mit dem Farbwerk 9 der Frankier- oder Wertstempelmaschine verbunden. Im gezeigten Beispiel mit einer saugenden Gewindespindel 1 wird aus dem unteren Farbbehälter 2 die Farbe mittels der Spindel in den oberen Behälter 5 durch Erzeugen eines Unterdruckes transportiert. Von dort wird die Farbe über die Rohr- oder Schlauchverbindung 8 in das Farbwerk 9 durch deren tiefer liegenden Zuflußstutzen geleitet. Der Rückfluß der nicht benötigten Farbe über den höher gelegenen Abflußstutzen des Farbwerkes 9 fließt die Farbe durch die Schlauchverbindung 4 zurück in den unteren Farbbehälter 2.The ink containers 2, 5 are connected to the inking unit 9 of the franking or stamping machine via separate pipe or hose connections 4, 8. In the example shown with a suction threaded spindle 1, the ink is transported from the lower ink tank 2 by means of the spindle into the upper tank 5 by generating a vacuum. From there, the paint is passed through the pipe or hose connection 8 into the inking unit 9 through its lower inlet connection. The return flow of the paint that is not required via the higher discharge nozzle of the inking unit 9, the paint flows back through the hose connection 4 into the lower paint container 2.

Dieser ständige Umlauf in Verbindung mit der Gewindespindel 1 als Pumpenmittel verhindert ein Verdicken der Farbe. Bei einem nach längerer Standzeit wieder anlaufendem Farbwerk erhält die Farbe durch die Gewindespindel 1 in kürzester Zeit wieder ihre ursprüngliche Konsistenz.This constant circulation in connection with the threaded spindle 1 as a pump means prevents the paint from thickening. When the inking unit starts up again after a long period of inactivity, the color is restored to its original consistency in the shortest possible time by the threaded spindle 1.

Durch entsprechende Abdeckungen der Farbbehälter 2, 5 sowie des Farbwerkes 9 ist eine Verschmutzung der Farbe nur in geringem Umfang möglich, die zudem in Folge der Durchmischung bzw. Umwälzung der Farbe durch die Gewindespindel praktisch behoben wird.Corresponding covers for the ink tanks 2, 5 and the inking unit 9 allow the ink to be contaminated only to a small extent, which is also practically eliminated as a result of the mixing or circulation of the ink through the threaded spindle.

Anstelle der in der Zeichnung dargestellten saugenden Gewindespindel 1 ist auch durch Umkehr der Drehrichtung ein Überdruck erzeugbar, der die Farbe vom oberen Farbbehälter 5 in den unteren Farbbehälter 2 transportiert. An dem Farbwerk 9 sind lediglich die zu- und abführenden Rohr- oder Schlauchverbindungen 8, 4 zu vertauschen.Instead of the sucking threaded spindle 1 shown in the drawing, an overpressure can also be generated by reversing the direction of rotation, which transports the paint from the upper paint container 5 into the lower paint container 2. At the inking unit 9, only the supply and discharge pipe or hose connections 8, 4 are to be exchanged.

Zum Erzielen einer kompakten Bauform ist einerseits, wie bereits beschrieben, ein Farbbehälter 5 in den anderen Farbbehälter 2 gesetzt. Weiterhin kann zu diesem Zweck derkomplette Antrieb, bestehend aus Kupplung 6 und Elektromotor 7 innerhalb des einen Farbbehälters 5 angeordnet werden. Die Anordnung des kompletten Antriebs innerhalb des Farbbehälters 5 vermeidet außerdem Undichtigkeiten.To achieve a compact design, on the one hand, as already described, an ink container 5 is placed in the other ink container 2. Furthermore, the complete drive, consisting of clutch 6 and electric motor 7, can be arranged within one paint container 5 for this purpose. The arrangement of the complete drive within the paint container 5 also avoids leaks.

Bei einer flexiblen Ausbildung der Gewindespindel 1 ist diese in ein ebenfalls flexibles Führungsrohr 3 einsetzbar, wodurch eine weitere optimale Raumnutzung gegeben ist.In the case of a flexible design of the threaded spindle 1, it can be inserted into a likewise flexible guide tube 3, whereby a further optimal use of space is given.

Wird die Pumpenanordnung in Abhängigkeit der Frankier- oder Wertstempelabdrucke gesteuert, ist ein geringerer Verschleiß und eine geringere Erwärmung der Farbe erzielbar.If the pump arrangement is controlled as a function of the franking or stamp impressions, less wear and less heating of the ink can be achieved.
