Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Einrichtung zur Farbzufuhr von pastösen Druckfarben an Druckmaschinen.The invention relates to a method and a device for the ink supply of pasty printing inks on printing machines.

Es sind Farbzuführungen an Druckmaschinen bekannt (DE-PS 30 30 774), die einen Farbkasten, eine Duktorwalze und eine Mehrzahl von längs der Duktorwalze aufeinanderfolgenden, einen veränderlichen Farbspalt bildenden Farbdosierelementen an der Farbkastenunterseite enthalten. Die pastöse Druckfarbe wird dabei in den durch Farbkastenunterseite einschließlich Farbdosierelementen und Duktorwalze gebildeten, offenen, keilförmigen Farbvorratsraum eingefüllt. Nachteilig ist bei dieser Farbzuführung, dass der Farbvorratsraum sehr groß ist und sich deshalb Schwierigkeiten beim Farbwechsel bzw. beim Reinigen ergeben. Des Weiteren ist die Dosierung der Farbzonenmenge nur über die Farbdosierelemente möglich.There are ink feeds on printing presses known (DE-PS 30 30 774), the ink fountain, a duct roller and a plurality of successive along the duct roller, one Contain variable dosing elements forming color gap on the bottom of the ink fountain. The pasty printing ink is in the ink box underside including ink metering elements and duct roller formed, open, wedge-shaped ink reservoir. The disadvantage of this ink supply is that the ink supply space is very large and therefore different Difficulty changing colors or cleaning. Furthermore, the dosage the amount of ink zones only possible via the ink metering elements.

Es sind auch Farbzuführeinrichtungen bekannt (DE 43 39 939 C2), bei denen der keilförmige Farbvorratsraum verkleinert und in geschlossener Bauart ausgeführt worden ist. Die Farbzufuhr zu dem verkleinerten und geschlossenen Farbvorratsraum erfolgt unter Druck mittels Farbkartuschen.There are also ink supply devices known (DE 43 39 939 C2) in which the wedge-shaped Color storage space has been reduced and carried out in a closed design. The ink is supplied to the reduced and closed ink supply space under pressure by means of color cartridges.

Auch hier sind die Schwierigkeiten beim Reinigen und bei der Dosierung nicht beseitigt.The difficulties with cleaning and dosing have not been eliminated here either.

Aus der DE 38 18 339 A1 ist ein Kurzfarbwerk mit einer Farbdosiereinrichtung bekannt. Die Farbdosiereinrichtung besteht aus einem Dosiersystem und einem Vordosiersystem. Das Vordosiersystem ist ein konventionelles Farbkastendosiersystem. Das Dosiersystem besteht aus einer Rasterwalze, gegen die zum Zwecke der Dosierung ein Rakel angestellt ist. Die Rasterwalze wird von der Farbauftragwalze des Farbkastendosiersystems kontaktiert, so dass sich zwei Farbvorratsräume bilden. Das ist einmal der Innenraum des Farbkastens und zum anderen ein Farbstauraum zwischen der Rasterwalze und der Farbzuführwalze. Durch den Spalt zwischen der Farbauftragwalze und der Rasterwalze wird vordosiert, während das Rakel die Feindosierung vornimmt. Die vom Rakel zurückgehaltene Farbe wird in den Farbkasten zurückgefördert.A short inking unit with a color metering device is known from DE 38 18 339 A1. The Ink metering device consists of a metering system and a pre-metering system. The pre-metering system is a conventional ink fountain dosing system. The dosing system consists of a Anilox roller against which a doctor is employed for the purpose of metering. The anilox roller will contacted by the inking roller of the ink fountain metering system, so that there are two ink supply spaces form. On the one hand, this is the interior of the ink fountain and, on the other hand, a paint storage space between the anilox roller and the ink feed roller. Through the gap between the The inking roller and the anilox roller are pre-metered, while the doctor blade finely doses performs. The ink retained by the squeegee is fed back into the ink fountain.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung eines Verfahrens und einer Einrichtung zur Farbzufuhr mit verbesserter Dosierung und geringem Reinigungsaufwand. The object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for ink supply with improved dosage and little cleaning effort.

Üblicherweise ist jeder Farbzone ein Farbdosierelement 3 zugeordnet.A color metering element 3 is usually assigned to each color zone.

Der Farbkasten 1 ist als offener Farbkasten ausgebildet und enthält nur eine Mindestfarbmenge 4. Unter Mindestfarbmenge wird dabei die Farbmenge verstanden, die zur Funktion der Farbzufuhr, d.h. zur Benetzung der Duktorwalze und zur Aufrechterhaltung eines definierten hydrodynamischen Druckes im Farbkasten, unbedingt notwendig ist.The ink fountain 1 is designed as an open ink fountain and contains only one Minimum amount of color 4. The minimum amount of color means the amount of color that on the function of the ink supply, i.e. for wetting the duct roller and for maintenance a defined hydrodynamic pressure in the ink fountain, is absolutely necessary.

Der Oberfläche 5 der Mindestfarbmenge 4 ist ein Niveauregler 6 zugeordnet, der den Füllstand bzw. das Niveau der Mindestfarbmenge 4 dedektiert und bei Unter- bzw. Überschreiten des festgelegten Mindestfarbniveaus entsprechende Steuerschritte - Erhöhen oder Vermindern der Mindestfarbmenge - einleitet bzw. Warnmeldungen generiert.The surface 5 of the minimum amount of color 4 is assigned a level controller 6, which Fill level or the level of the minimum color quantity 4 is If the specified minimum color level is exceeded, corresponding control steps - increase or decrease the minimum color quantity - initiates or generates warning messages.

Der Duktorwalze 2 ist mindestens ein Zuführsystem 7 für die Verbrauchsfarbmenge 8 zugeordnet.The duct roller 2 is at least one feed system 7 for the amount of consumable ink 8 assigned.

Unter Verbrauchsfarbmenge 8 wird dabei die Farbmenge verstanden, die zum Einfärben der Druckform für den jeweiligen Druckauftrag notwendig ist, d.h. die zugeführte Verbrauchsfarbmenge 8 entspricht der Farbmenge die bei der Einfärbung der Druckform und letztendlich beim Farbauftrag auf den Bedruckstoff verbraucht wird.Consumption color quantity 8 is understood to mean the quantity of color that is used to color the Printing form is necessary for the respective print job, i.e. the amount of consumable ink supplied 8 corresponds to the amount of ink in the inking of the printing form and ultimately is used when applying ink to the substrate.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist jeder längs der Duktorwalze 2 aufeinanderfolgenden Farbzone oder jeder Farbzonengruppe je ein Zuführsystem 7 zugeordnet.It is expedient for each of the two successive ink zones or along the duct roller a feed system 7 is assigned to each ink zone group.

Ein einziges Zuführsystem 7 ist nach einer nicht dargestellten Ausführungsart traversierend längs der Duktorwalze 2 angeordnet, wobei der Niveauregler 6 zweckmäßigerweise dem einzigen traversierenden Zuführsystem 7 zugeordnet ist.A single feed system 7 is traversing according to an embodiment, not shown arranged along the duct roller 2, the level controller 6 expediently is assigned to only one traversing feed system 7.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Zuführsystem 7 und/oder der Niveauregler 6 einem bekannten traversierenden Farbrührsystem zugeordnet.The feed system 7 and / or the level controller 6 is advantageously a known one assigned traversing color stirring system.

Jedes Zuführsystem 7 ist mit einer nicht dargestellten Farbversorgungsanlage verbunden und enthält eine Dosiereinheit 9 und eine Druckschaltereinheit 10. Die Dosiereinheit ist steuerungstechnisch mit einer nicht dargestellten Einrichtung zur Eingabe von Farbwerkeinstellwerten, die den Farbverbrauch adequat sind, verbunden.Each feed system 7 is connected to a paint supply system, not shown and contains a dosing unit 9 and a pressure switch unit 10. The dosing unit is control technology with a device, not shown, for entering Inking unit setting values that are adequate for ink consumption.

Die Farbwerkeinstellwerte können üblicherweise über einen bekannten Druckplattenleser (Scanner) ermittelt oder aus Vorstufendaten (CIP3) oder aus Erfahrungswerten gewonnen werden. Die Steuerung der Verbrauchsfarbmenge 8 ist auch über die Niveauabfrage der Mindestfarbmenge - erhöhte Minimalfarbmenge bedeutet zu große zugeführte Verbrauchsfarbmenge, damit ist eine Verringerung der Verbrauchsfarbmenge erforderlich bzw. zu geringe Minimalfarbmenge bedeutet zu geringe zugeführte Verbrauchsfarbmenge, damit ist eine Vergrößerung der Verbrauchsfarbmenge erforderlich - möglich.The inking unit settings can usually be made using a known printing plate reader (Scanner) determined or obtained from prepress data (CIP3) or from experience become. The control of the amount of consumable ink 8 is also via the level query Minimum amount of color - increased minimum amount of color means that the amount of consumable ink supplied is too large, a reduction in the quantity of consumable ink is therefore necessary or too low minimum color quantity means too little consumption color quantity supplied, so that is an increase in the amount of consumable ink required - possible.

Es ist auch möglich, daß die Farbversorgungsanlage durch eine Farbversorgung mittels Kartuschen ersetzt werden kann.
Der Duktorwalze 2 ist ein Heber 11 und diesem eine Reibwalze 12 eines nicht dargestellten bekannten Farbwerkes nachgeordnet.
Der im Druckbetrieb zwischen Duktorwalze 2 und Reibwalze 12 hin- und herschwingende Heber 11 wird zur Erhöhung der Reaktionsfähigkeit - schneller Transport von Farbe nach Auftragwechsel in das Farbwerk - und zur Verbesserung der Reinigung in ständigen Berührungskontakt sowohl mit der Duktorwalze als auch mit der Reibwalze gebracht. Zur Reinigung wird auf die Duktorwalze 2 über eine Wascheinrichtung 13 Waschflüssigkeit aufgebracht.
It is also possible that the paint supply system can be replaced by a paint supply using cartridges.
The duct roller 2 is a lifter 11 and this is followed by a friction roller 12 of a known inking unit, not shown.
The lifter 11 which swings back and forth in the printing operation between the doctor roller 2 and the friction roller 12 is brought into constant contact with both the doctor roller and the friction roller in order to increase the reactivity - quick transport of ink after changing the order into the inking unit - and to improve cleaning. For cleaning, washing liquid 13 is applied to the duct roller 2 via a washing device 13.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Einrichtung zur Farbzufuhr in geschlossener Bauart dargestellt.
Die Minimalfarbmenge 4 befindet sich dabei in einem verkleinerten und geschlossenen Farbvorratsraum 16.
Die Überwachung der Minimalfarbmenge 4 erfolgt dabei nicht durch einen Niveauregler 6 sondern über einen Druckwächter 14 in der Farbzufuhrleitung 15.
Durch die Aufspaltung der Farbmenge in Minimalfarbmenge und Verbrauchsfarbmenge und die zonenweise Zuführung der Verbrauchsfarbmenge ist eine exaktere Farbdosierung möglich und der Aufwand zur Reinigung bei Auftragwechsel wird minimiert.
In Fig. 2 a device for ink supply is shown in a closed design.
The minimum amount of color 4 is in a reduced and closed color storage space 16.
The minimum amount of ink 4 is not monitored by a level controller 6 but by a pressure switch 14 in the ink supply line 15.
By splitting the color quantity into the minimum color quantity and the consumption color quantity and the zone-by-zone supply of the consumption color quantity, a more precise color dosage is possible and the effort for cleaning when changing the order is minimized.
