Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing device for printing isolated flat print carriers, preferably compact discs (CDs).
  • CDs compact discs
  • DE 29 38 291 B2 shows a multicolor printing device for printing on a flat plate, which is coated immediately afterwards.
  • Multi-color printing is done in flexographic printing, i.e. a high-pressure process.
  • the sample or plate cylinder is colored in multiple colors side by side and transfers its color application to a plate to be printed.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a printing device for multi-color printing of isolated flat print media, preferably compact discs in.
  • FIG. 1 a front view of an exemplary embodiment of the printing device according to the invention in a schematic illustration
  • Figure 2 shows a section II - II in Figure 1.
  • the printing device 1 is used for printing on plastic disks 2, in particular so-called compact disks, in the following called disks 2. It essentially consists, as seen in the direction of production, of a separating device 3 for the stacked slices 2, a feed device 4 for transporting the slices 2 to be printed from the separating device 3 to a first printing unit 6, a plurality, e.g. four - from printing units 6 to 9, a transport device 11 for transporting printed disks 12 to a delivery device 13 for the printed disks 2.
  • Each of the printing groups 6 to 9 is preferably set up for the dampening-free flat printing using so-called UN printing inks and preferably has no device for setting a printing zone width across the ink zones.
  • Each of the printing units 6 to 9 has a left 21 and a right side wall 22, the upper and lower ends of which are screwed to a frame 26 with an upper and a lower and a lower transverse plate 24, respectively.
  • the printing units 6 to 9 can, if viewed in the direction of production, be arranged in close proximity to one another. That If two-color printing is desired, two printing units 6,7 are lined up, for four-color printing four printing units 6 to 9 are lined up.
  • a distance a, for example 100 mm, between the printing points 27 to 29 and 31 of two immediately adjacent printing units 6/7 (27.28) or printing units 7/8 (28.29) or printing units 8/9 (29, 31) according to the invention is smaller than a diameter b, for example 120 mm, of the disks 2 to be printed. This ensures that the disks 2 are always at least in one printing point 27 to 29.31 during their movement through the printing units 6 to 9 are firmly clamped and thus do not become uncontrolled in a harmful way can move. They are transported and printed practically without slip through the printing units 6 to 9.
  • Each of the printing units 6 to 9 consists of the frame 26 in which, as seen in the ink flow and vertical directions, are mounted: an ink fountain 32 with preferably a negative working squeegee 33, an anilox roller 34 to which the working squeegee 33 is positioned negatively, one Ink transfer roller 36, one, a printing plate preferably suitable for dampening medium-free printing, for example a so-called “waterless TORAY printing plate", carrying printing plate carrier roller 37, a blanket carrier roller 38 carrying a printing blanket and a backing roller 39 having a rubber jacket.
  • the rollers 34 to 39 all have the same diameter when ready for printing. However, the anilox roller 34 can also have twice as well as half the diameter of the other rollers 36 to 39.
  • the ink fountain 32 consists of a five-sided closed fountain and serves to receive UN printing ink, the anilox roller 34 is immersed in it.
  • the working squeegee 33 closes off the ink fountain 32 at the bottom and serves for uniform ink metering over the entire length of the anilox roller 34, or an adapted partial length, provided that a plurality of adjacent streams of disks 2 are to be printed.
  • the counter-pressure roller 39 is arranged directly below the blanket carrier roller 38 and forms with it a pressure point 27 or 28 or 29 or 31 in the form of an adjustable printing gap.
  • the counter-pressure roller 39 can each be removed from the blanket carrier roller 38 by means of positioning eccentrics 41, 42 be swung away.
  • the positioning eccentrics 41, 42 are designed as eccentric bushings which are rotatably mounted in the left 21 and right side walls 22 at the same time.
  • Left and 43 or right axle journals 44 are rotatably mounted in one eccentric bore of the adjusting eccentrics 41, 42.
  • a straight toothed gear 46 is fixed between the counter pressure roller 39 and the right eccentric 42, and on another end of the right axle 44 protruding from the right side wall 22, another straight toothed gear 47 is secured against rotation.
  • the anilox roller 34, the ink transfer roller 36, the printing form carrier roller 37, the blanket carrier roller 38 and the counter pressure roller 39 are each mounted in the side walls 21, 22.
  • a straight toothed gear 66 to 69 and 47 is fastened in a rotationally fixed manner on the right cylinder pin between the roller body and the right side wall 22.
  • the gears 66 to 69 and 47 have the same number of teeth and form a gear train. The force is input to the gear 47.
  • the frame 48 is open towards the front and the upper plate 54 covers only half of the lower plate 56 in depth. Between the front plate 49 and the rear plate 51, "hanging" attached to the upper plate 54 or standing fixed on the lower plate 56, there is an upper guide rod 59 and a lower guide rod 61 for each printing unit 6 to 9, respectively
  • the displacement of the printing units 6 to 9 is designed so that the printing units 6 to 9 can be pulled forward from their working position to the extent that manipulation of their rollers is possible.
  • the gear 47 is disengaged from a toothing of a straight toothed gear 71, which each drive for the printing units 6 to 9 forms.
  • the gear 47 is half as wide as the gear 71.
  • the gear 71 is rotatably mounted together with a helical gear 72 on a first pin end 73 of a pin 74 protruding into the housing 48.
  • the gear wheels 71 and 72 are connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • the pin 74 is rotatably mounted in the rear plate 51, but can be displaced horizontally along its longitudinal axis.
  • an isosceles locking bracket 82 is attached to the outside of the right side wall 22. Its short leg 83 points upwards.
  • a thread of an adjusting screw 84 for setting a side register is in engagement with a threaded hole in the right plate 51.
  • One end of the set screw 84 is in contact with a vertical end face of the locking bracket 82.
  • a bearing bracket 86 with a bearing bore is screwed to the inside of the right plate 51.
  • a double-armed locking lever 87 is pivotally and driven.
  • the locking lever 87 presses the locking bracket 82 against the adjusting screw 84 by means of the roller 85.
  • One end of a second lever arm 89 of the Locking lever 87 is at one end of a piston rod
  • a double-acting pneumatic cylinder 92 pivotally connected.
  • the pneumatic cylinder 92 is supported on the right plate 51. Is a piston rod 91 of the pneumatic cylinder
  • the printing unit 6 to 9 is locked in register on the rear plate 51 via the roller 85. If the piston rod 91 is retracted, the locking lever 87 is pivoted so that the roller 85 has released the leg 83 and so the optionally unlocked printing unit 6 to 9 is released and can be pulled out.
  • the disks 2 are each longitudinal and by means of a device, not shown side-aligned so that they are precisely aligned and pushed into the first printing point 27 in the printing cycle and then conveyed on. From there, the disks 12 are clamped into the respective previous printing point 27 to 31 and into the next printing point 28 to 31. This ensures that the exact register is retained when transferring from printing unit to printing unit.
