Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for printing at least partially conical articles using the screen printing method according to the preamble of claim 1 and claim 6.
  • the printing of conically shaped articles or those articles which have conical sections is particularly in connection with the printing of containers, e.g. B. bottles that serve as packaging are known.
  • containers e.g. B. bottles that serve as packaging are known.
  • the transition between the actual bottle body and the end of the bottle which carries the opening is often conical.
  • containers are also used which are essentially conical over most of their axial extent, possibly even over their entire length.
  • the printing of curved surfaces is generally carried out in such a way that they are carried out on the screen printing stencil, the speed at which the surface to be printed on is moved during the printing process, the speed, to achieve a good printed image which the screen printing stencil is moved corresponds to.
  • the cross section of the article need not necessarily have a rotationally symmetrical cross section in the area in which the printed image is to be applied. It is sufficient for that area of the peripheral surface to be provided with the printed image to be unwound on the screen printing stencil during the printing process can.
  • the conical configuration of the article or of a section thereof, which is to be provided with the imprint has a peculiarity in terms of printing technology in that the individual areas of different diameters of the conical section have different circumferential speeds such that the circumferential speed increases with increasing diameter for a given angular speed.
  • This must be taken into account in a known manner when unwinding the article on the screen printing stencil during the printing process, with the result that the section of the screen printing stencil carrying the printed image executes a movement along a circular arc during the printing process, the radius of which increases with increasing cone angle, i.e. the angle between the Longitudinal axis of the object to be printed and the area to be printed decreases.
  • the article Since during the printing process the interacting areas of screen printing stencil and article run parallel to each other under the influence of the squeegee, normally at a very short distance from one another, but possibly also in contact with one another, the article must be arranged horizontally or vertically during the printing process the screen printing stencil must also be arranged obliquely in accordance with the oblique course of the cone surface to be printed if a high-quality print image is to be generated. This has certain difficulties with known methods and devices the result, in particular when the objects to be printed are transported through the screen printing machine in close succession, that is to say at short distances from one another.
  • the article occupies a position in printing in which its longitudinal axis is substantially horizontal, especially since cylindrical or other surfaces are also printed simultaneously with the printing of the conical surface, which also use a horizontal one Level movable stencil is preferred.
  • this has the consequence that a pivotable screen printing stencil must be arranged obliquely in accordance with the course of the surface to be printed, that is to say runs at an angle with respect to the horizontal which corresponds to the cone angle.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the method and apparatus of the type described in the introduction so that the achievement of high productivity is possible. It should also be possible to pivot the screen printing stencil during the printing process in a plane that runs parallel to the longitudinal axis of the article to be printed. In the case of articles arranged horizontally during the printing process, regardless of the angle which the surface to be printed forms with the longitudinal axis of the article, the axis about which the screen printing stencil is pivoted during printing should be able to run vertically, so that the screen printing stencil is independent of it during of the printing of the article assumed angular position does not fall below a certain altitude, which is above the range of movement of the article.
  • DE-A-29 40 113 discloses a method for printing an article and a screen printing device for carrying out this method, in which the use of a screen printing stencil is provided which rotates during the printing process on a path which corresponds to the lateral surface of a truncated cone .
  • a screen printing stencil is provided which rotates during the printing process on a path which corresponds to the lateral surface of a truncated cone .
  • it is about the printing of elongated objects, the vertical one
  • the screen-printing stencil running around the axis, approximately tangentially.
  • the screen printing stencil will perform reciprocating swiveling movements, with the printing taking place in one direction of movement. However, it is also possible to rotate the screen printing stencil only in one direction, if necessary in sections.
  • the screen printing machine shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is provided with three printing stations A, B and C, in each of which two screen printing stencils are provided for the application of two partial printing images, with three partial printing images belonging together on the printed article to form one Complete the overall print image.
  • the articles to be printed are bottles 10, the neck portion 12 of which is essentially tapered in the direction of the opening 14.
  • Fig. 9 shows that the lateral surface of the neck portion 12 need not be designed to be exactly linear in longitudinal section. Rather, it can be slightly curved outwards, that is, convex, and possibly also slightly concave. However, this is not disadvantageous because the screen printing stencil can easily adapt to such small deviations from the straight course under the action of the doctor blade.
  • the body of the bottle 10 continues at the end of the neck section 12 facing away from the opening 14 in a substantially cylindrical section 16. Both the conical neck section 12 and the cylindrical section 16 each have an overall printed image to be provided, which is to be applied in each case in three printing processes.
  • the bottles 10 to be printed are transported in the direction of arrow 18 step by step through the screen printing machine and its treatment stations.
  • the latter is provided with a first means of transport in the form of a chain pair, the two chains 20, 22 of which each run in a vertical plane.
  • Deflection wheels 23, 24 are provided at the two ends of the screen printing machine, at least one pair of which also serves to drive the two chains 20, 22.
  • each chain 20, 22 is provided with receiving elements 30, 32, the recesses 31, 33 (FIGS. 5, 6, 9) of which are adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the section of the bottle 10 to be received.
  • the receiving elements 30, 32 are arranged such that two opposing receiving elements 30, 32 each carry a bottle 10 together.
  • the receiving elements, not shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are arranged in such short intervals in the direction of movement of the chain pair 20, 22 that between two adjacent bottles carried by the chain pair there is a distance of possibly only a few millimeters.
  • each of the printing stations A, B, C Arranged in the transport direction 18 behind each of the printing stations A, B, C is a drying station D, E, F, through which the bottles 10 pass after they have each been provided with two separate partial printing images 40, 42 (FIG. 5) .
  • each of the three printing stations A, B, C two printing devices 46, 48 are arranged, of which the device 46 is used for printing on the conical neck section 12 and the device 48 for printing on the cylindrical section 16.
  • Each of the two printing devices 46 and 48 is provided with a screen printing stencil 50 and 52 as well as squeegees 34 and 36 cooperating therewith. Since the printing device 48 serves to print on the cylindrical section 16 of the bottle 10, it does not require any further explanation, since this is a known and customary device.
  • the screen printing stencil 52 is displaced with respect to the bottle 10 rotating about its longitudinal axis, but otherwise stationary, transversely to its longitudinal axis, as is customary and known when printing cylindrical articles.
  • the bottle 10 is arranged horizontally during the printing process - as in the case of advance transport in the direction of the arrow 18 - so that its longitudinal axis runs horizontally. Accordingly, the lateral surface of the conical section 12 extends in longitudinal section, as z. B. Fig. 9 shows, at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis 44 of the bottle 10.
  • FIG. 9 of the drawing shows the relative position of the bottle 10 with the conical neck section 12 and the printing device 46 with the area 51 of the screen printing stencil 50.
  • each bottle 10 is to be provided both on the conical neck section 12 and on the cylindrical section 16 with a plurality of partial printed images 40, 42 which complement one another to form an overall printed image, it must be ensured that the Bottle 10 in each printing station A, B, C is aligned in the circumferential direction in a certain way to the respective screen printing stencils 50 and 52 and thus to the printing image attached therein.
  • the print image does not extend over the entire circumference of 360 ° of the article, it is frequently to be applied to a specific circumferential area thereof, for example to indicate the presence of seams or other markings which are present on the outside of the bottle and Z. B. may have arisen in their manufacture to take into account.
  • a registration step is therefore provided in the transport direction 18 in front of each of the printing stations A, B, C, in which the bottle is aligned.
  • each printing station A, B, C is assigned an additional transport device 70, which essentially consists of a carrier 72, which is provided on the upper side with two receiving elements 73 and two suction cups 74, each in a vertical plane running transversely to the transport direction 18 Are spaced from each other, which results from the dimensions of the article to be printed.
  • the receiving elements 73 correspond in terms of their function and their design to the receiving elements 30 and 32 of the chains 20, 22.
  • Both suction cups are connected via tubes 75 to a vacuum source, not shown.
  • the transport device 70 can be moved back and forth as well as up and down by drive means, not shown in the drawing, in the transport direction 18 and in the opposite direction.
  • the distance by which the transport device 70 can be moved in the transport direction 18 and in the opposite direction corresponds to the distance between the registration station 38 and the associated printing station.
  • the transport device 70 serves to transport the bottle 10, after it has been aligned in the circumferential direction in the registration station 38, while maintaining this aligned position in the associated printing station.
  • each printing station A, B, C in the respective registration station 38, it being possible in the usual way in front of the first printing station A or in the transport direction 18 the assigned register station - and subsequently, if necessary, also between the printing stations B, C - to carry out additional treatments.
  • Each registration station 38 is assigned a holder, which in the embodiment shown in the drawing consists of two parts 76, 78.
  • the bottle 10 is in a position between the two mounting parts 76, 78, but not exactly coaxial to these, but by a short distance of, for. B. 1 - 2 mm down.
  • the two holding parts 76, 78 are at a distance from one another which allows the bottle to be brought into the position described between the two parts. As soon as this position has been reached, the distance between the two holder parts 76, 78 is reduced by an axial displacement thereof, the bottle 10 being gripped by both holder parts in the usual way, ie that Holding part 76 engages around the bottom region of the bottle 10 and the holding part 78 engages in the opening 14 of the bottle.
  • the two holder parts 76, 78 bring about an alignment with them by slightly lifting the bottle 10, so that at the end of the closing movement carried out by the two holder parts, the bottle 10 is aligned coaxially with the holder parts 76, 78 now carrying it.
  • the register station 38 is assigned a sensor 55 which controls a drive 56.
  • the latter drives the holding part 76 assigned to the bottom of the bottle 10 via a belt 58, so that the bottle 10 rotates about its longitudinal axis while taking the holding part 78 with it.
  • the bottle 10 is provided with a marking 60, which is detected by the optical sensor 55 during the rotational movement of the bottle 10, so that the circumferential position of the bottle can be recognized and the bottle can be brought into a specific, defined orientation by controlled rotation about its longitudinal axis , which corresponds to the position at which the application of the printed images is to begin in the following printing station.
  • the marking can also be any marking already present on the bottle, for example a shaped seam or the like.
  • the facilities and measures associated with the registration are generally known, so that they do not require any further explanation.
  • the transport device 70 takes over the function of holding the bottle in its now defined circumferential position.
  • the transport device 70 which is at this time in the registration station, but in its lower position shown in FIG. 8 of the drawing, is moved upward from this into the position according to FIG. 6, in which the two receiving elements 73 and the suction cups 74 rest against the bottle, the latter preventing the bottle from twisting due to the negative pressure which then becomes effective and securing it in its aligned position.
  • the transport device 70 is moved in the transport direction 18 by a distance which corresponds to the distance between the registration station and the associated printing station, so that at the end of this transport step the aligned bottle 10 is located between the two holder parts 80 and 82 of the holder assigned to the printing station.
  • 7 shows an intermediate position in the course of the transport step from the registration station 38 to the downstream printing station.
  • the two mounting parts 80 and 82 essentially correspond to the mounting parts 76 and 78 of the registration station.
  • the bottle 10 is normally in the height position which corresponds to its height position in the two stations when it is held by the holders 76, 78 and 80, 82, respectively. It is of course also possible, if necessary, to lower the transport device 70 with the bottle 10 held by it in the registration station slightly before the transport step is carried out in the direction of the printing station, and to raise it again somewhat in the printing station. The bottle 10 is then received in the printing station by reducing the distance between the two holding parts 80, 82 in the usual manner, as is shown, for example, in FIG. 9.

  • the extent of the vertical movements to be carried out by the transport device 70 is very small in any case, since it is only a matter of lifting the bottle 10 upwards to such an extent that it comes out of contact with the respective holder 30 or 32 of the chain 20 or 22 , so as to enable unhindered rotation of the bottle 10 in the registration station and printing station.
  • the transport device 70 can be arranged between the two chains 20 and 22, so that it is outside the range of motion of the two chains and the brackets 30, 32 carried by them and thus the bottles.
  • the bottle is released from the two holding parts 80, 82 by moving them apart. Since the chain pair 20, 22 with the receiving elements 30, 32 had also been advanced by one transport step in the direction of the arrow 18 during the transport step of the transport device 70, the two receiving elements 30, 32 from which the bottle 10 passes through in the registering station are now located the transport device 70 had been raised in the printing station, so that when the printed bottle is released by the holder 80, 82 the bottle falls back down into these two receiving elements 30, 32 of the chains 20, 22. This presents no problems since, as already mentioned, the distance between the bottle in its raised position and the position that the bottle occupies when it is carried by both receiving elements 30, 32 of the chains 20, 22 is only small.
