  • a squeegee device in which weirs forming sidewalls Divide secondary chambers is in the patent application 195 16 223.4 to which reference is made.
  • the weirs Forming webs are suitable for mounting in a favorable manner a tube provided with spray nozzles.
  • doctor device is intended to solve the problem that an insert part can be inserted into the recess in which a Pipe is supported, spaced apart along its length is provided with holes forming the spray nozzles, and that a End of the tube with a connection for supplying washing liquid is provided.
  • This insert can be easily and quickly into the channel-shaped recess of the doctor blade holder insert without the profile forming the doctor blade carrier would have to be provided with a special channel system.
  • Insert with two radial side compartments Webs is provided, the front edges with the inking roller Limit throttle gaps and those with aligned holes are provided in which the pipe provided with the spray nozzles is supported.
  • an insert part can be inserted into the recess is that with one to the axis of the inking roller parallel bore is provided, which with spray nozzles Cross holes is provided. According to this configuration needs only the insert in the channel-shaped recess of the doctor blade holder to be used to achieve the desired spray nozzle arrangement to have. This configuration also allows doctoring devices in operation or present Retrofit spray nozzle arrangements.
  • This insert part with two radial is also expedient Provide webs, the front edges with the paint roller Limit throttle gap.
  • the insert with a bead parallel to the axis of the inking roller is provided, which has a narrow gap with the inking roller limited.
  • This bead forms an auxiliary squeegee, as it were Prevention of ghosting prevented.
  • the holes forming the spray nozzles are expedient arranged in two parallel rows so that they are essentially directed to the doctor blade and in particular Flush the corners of the ink chamber when cleaning fluid is fed under pressure.
  • the insert parts expediently consist of plastic.
  • the pressure cylinder block which is also designed as a slide is in the usual and therefore not described in detail Way one side of an anilox roller 2 stored.
  • the upper ends of the parallel link 5, 6 are pivotable about the hinge axes 7, 8 with the a coupling-forming carrier 9 connected.
  • the carrier 9 is in one piece formed with the doctor blade 10.
  • the doctor blade carrier 10 is by screws provided with handwheels 11 with the doctor blade carrier 16 connected.
  • the piston rod 12 of a pneumatic cylinder 13 articulated, which in turn via a support piece 14 articulated by the joint 15 on the inking unit 1 is.
  • the hinge axes 4 of the parallel link 6 are with an eccentric adjustment 4 'provided, due to which the pivot axis the parallel link 6 can be raised and lowered.
  • the parallel link 5, 6 each of the two anilox roller 2 storing Inking box can double to increase stability be executed.
  • the doctor blade carrier 16 consists of a profile strip, the 1 can be seen.
  • the bar of the doctor blade holder 16 is provided with a groove 20 forming the interior of the paint.
  • This gutter opens out in the lower middle area Fig. 3 can be seen, a bore supplying the printing ink 21.
  • the channel is through the Bores 22, 23 which remove printing ink are cut.
  • the Vent holes 24, 25 open into the upper end regions of the channel.
  • the end faces of the gutter edges are chamfered in opposite directions. On these end faces are by clamps 28, 29 the doctor blade 30, 31 in the usual and therefore not closer attached described.
  • Seals 33, 34 are on the sides of the doctor blade carrier 11 arranged that the ink interior 20 opposite the anilox roller 2nd seal. To hold these seals are with the side End faces of the bar of the doctor blade carrier cover 35, 36 screwed, the end walls of the ink chamber 20th form.
