Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zum Entleeren von Farbkästen entsprechend dem Oberbegriff der Patentansprüche 1 und 2.The invention relates to a method and a device for emptying ink fountains according to the preamble of
Es ist allgemein bekannt, beim Reinigen der Farbkästen von Farbwerken von Rotationsdruckmaschinen, insbesondere Rollenrotationsdruckmaschinen für Offsetdruck, den Farbkasten nach erfolgter Farbentnahme vom Farbduktor zwecks Reinigung zu Trennen. Ein solches Trennen erfolgt z. B. durch Wegschwenken des Farbkastens vom Farbduktor, wobei das Unterteil des Farbkastens um eine Achse verschwenkbar ist. Ein derartig verschwenkbarer Farbkasten ist u. a. in der DE-AS 26 29 331 gezeigt. Die Farbentnahme erfolgt mittels einer Spachtel durch die Bedienperson und ist sehr zeitaufwendig.When cleaning the ink fountains of inking units of rotary printing presses, in particular web-fed rotary printing machines for offset printing, it is generally known to separate the ink fountain from the ink fountain roller for cleaning after the ink has been removed. Such a separation takes place, for. B. by swiveling the ink fountain away from the ink fountain roller, the lower part of the ink fountain being pivotable about an axis. Such a swiveling paint box is u. a. shown in DE-AS 26 29 331. The paint is removed by the operator using a spatula and is very time-consuming.
Weiterhin ist entsprechend der DE-OS 29 29 891 ein Farbkasten für eine Rotationsdruckmaschine, bestehend aus einem Oberteil und einem Unterteil und einem an den Duktor anstellbaren Farbmesser in der Art bekannt, daß auf dem farbmessertragenden Unterteil ein als Farbbehälter ausgebildetes Oberteil abnehmbar angeordnet ist. Nachteilig bei diesem abnehmbaren Farbehälter ist, daß bei der Verwendung verschiedener Druckfarben auch eine Anzahl vorrätiger Farbbehälter geschaffen werden muß, um diese beim Farbwechsel schnell einsetzen zu können.Furthermore, according to DE-OS 29 29 891, an ink fountain for a rotary printing press, consisting of an upper part and a lower part and a color knife that can be placed on the ductor, is known in such a way that an upper part designed as an ink container is removably arranged on the ink knife-bearing lower part. The disadvantage of this removable ink container is that when using different printing inks too a number of paint containers must be created in order to use them quickly when changing colors.
Die US-A-26 66 386 zeigt einen Farbkasten mit einer Duktorwalze. Im Farbkasten selbst ist eine zwischen den lichten Seiten der Farbkastenseitenwände abdichtend angeordnetes vertikales Abteilblech angeordnet. Dieses Abteilblech ist in einer Schrägführung parallel zum Farbkastengrund und auf ihm aufsitzend in Richtung Duktorwalze nachführbar. Hierzu ist ein Federantrieb vorgesehen, welcher das Farbkastenblech fortlaufend gegen Druckfarbe zwischen ihm und der Duktorwalze drückt. Hierdurch soll erreicht werden, daß auch bei minderen Druckfarbenmengen im Farbkasten immer Druckfarbe in ausreichender Höhe an der Duktorwalze liegt.US-A-26 66 386 shows an ink fountain with a duct roller. In the ink fountain itself, a vertical compartment plate is arranged sealingly between the light sides of the ink fountain side walls. This compartment plate can be adjusted in a sloping guide parallel to the ink fountain base and seated on it in the direction of the duct roller. For this purpose, a spring drive is provided, which presses the ink fountain plate continuously against printing ink between it and the duct roller. The aim of this is to ensure that there is always sufficient ink at the inking roller even in the case of small amounts of printing ink in the ink fountain.
