Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Bestäuben von bedruckten Bogen aus Papier oder einem gleichwertigen Material mittels einer Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for dusting printed sheets of paper or an equivalent material using a powder dusting device with the characteristics of the generic term of Claim 1.

Aus der DE 44 27 904 A1 ist ein Puderbestäubungsgerät bekannt geworden, mit welchem Puder elektrostatisch aufgeladen wird, bevor dieser auf einen bedruckten Papierbogen aufgeblasen wird. Zwar haftet elektrostatisch aufgeladener Puder besser an Papierbogen an, jedoch sollte das Haftvermögen noch verbessert werden. Aus der DE 29 36 754 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum elektrostatischen Auftragen von in einem Gasstrom mitgeführten Materialteilchen auf einen Papierbogen bekannt geworden. Dabei wird in der Nähe des Papierbogens ein elektrisches Feld erzeugt, in welches die Materialteilchen, insbesondere Puder eingeblasen wird. Aufgrund der Feldlinien wird der Puder auf die Oberfläche der Materialbahn gelenkt. A powder dusting device is known from DE 44 27 904 A1 with which powder is electrostatically charged, before it is inflated onto a printed sheet of paper becomes. Electrostatically charged powder adheres better on paper sheets, but the adhesion should still improve become. DE 29 36 754 A1 describes a device for the electrostatic application of entrained gases Material particles known on a sheet of paper become. Doing so will near the sheet of paper electric field into which the material particles, especially powder is blown in. Because of the field lines the powder is directed onto the surface of the material web.

Mit der DE 31 35 220 A1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen von Puderteilchen auf bedruckte Bogen aus Papier bekannt geworden, bei der der Bogen auf der nicht zu bestäubenden Seite elektrostatisch aufgeladen wird. Zwar hat dies den Vorteil, dass die Aufladestäbe relativ nahe am Papierbogen angeordnet sein können, jedoch wirkt der Papierbogen selbst als Isolator. Eine Anordnung des Aufladestabes auf der gegenüberliegenden, d.h. zu bestäubenden Seite des Papierbogens ist zwar möglich, jedoch kann der Aufladestab nur mit einem relativ großen Abstand zum Bogen angeordnet werden, da ein Freiraum für den vorbeieilenden Greifer beibehalten werden muss.DE 31 35 220 A1 is an application device known from powder particles on printed sheets of paper become where the bow on the non-pollinating Side is electrostatically charged. This has the Advantage that the charging bars are relatively close to the paper sheet can be arranged, but the paper sheet itself acts as an insulator. An arrangement of the charging bar on the opposite, i.e. side of the paper to be pollinated is possible, but the charging stick can only be used with one a relatively large distance from the arch, because a Free space for the gripping rapier to be retained got to.

Aus der DE-U-296 23 325 und der US-A-3,053,180 ist jeweils eine Einrichtung zum Bestäuben von Druckprodukten bekannt geworden.From DE-U-296 23 325 and US-A-3,053,180 each a device for dusting printed products is known become.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung bereit zu stellen, mit welcher der bedruckte Bogen optimaler bestäubt werden kann.The invention has for its object a device to provide with which the printed sheet is more optimal can be pollinated.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Vorrichtung gelöst, die die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 aufweist. This object is achieved with a device solved, which has the features of claim 1.

Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass die Aufladevorrichtung relativ nahe zur bedruckten Oberfläche angeordnet werden kann, da oberhalb dieser bedruckten Fläche noch kein Freiraum für eventuell vorbeieilende Greifer geschaffen werden muss. Diese Greifer befinden sich erst innerhalb der Bogenauslegeeinrichtung, wobei die Aufladevorrichtung außerhalb dieser Bogenauslegeeinrichtung sich befindet und somit der bestgeeignetste Ort ausgewählt werden kann. Außerdem hat sich gezeigt, dass eine elektrostatische Aufladung der bedruckten Seite des Bogens vorteilhafter ist als die Aufladung der Gegenseite, d.h. der nicht zu bepudernden Seite.This has the main advantage that the Charger relatively close to the printed surface can be arranged because above this printed area there is still no space for grippers that might hurry past must be created. These grippers are only now inside the sheet delivery device, the Charging device outside of this sheet delivery device is located and therefore the most suitable place is selected can be. It has also been shown that a electrostatic charging of the printed side of the sheet is more advantageous than charging the opposite side, i.e. the side not to be powdered.

Erfindungsgemäß wird also ein Teil des Bepuderungsvorganges, zu dem auch die elektrostatische Aufladung des Papierbogens gerechnet wird, aus der Bogenauslegeeinrichtung heraus verlegt. Der Auftrag des Puders findet jedoch nach wie vor in der Auslegeeinrichtung statt. Durch die unmittelbare Nähe der Aufladevorrichtung zur zu bepudernden Fläche des Bogens können kleine gebündelte Felder erzeugt werden und auf den Papierbogen einwirken und aufgrund der kleinen Entfernungen kann die Feldstärke exakt und somit die elektrostatische Aufladung genau eingestellt werden, ohne dass es zu Entladungen kommt. According to the invention, part of the powdering process which also includes the electrostatic charging of the paper sheet is calculated out of the sheet delivery device laid. However, the order of the powder is still in the delivery device instead. Due to the close proximity of the Charging device for the surface of the sheet to be powdered small bundled fields can be generated and on the Sheet of paper act and because of the small distances can the field strength exactly and thus the electrostatic Charging can be set accurately without it Discharges is coming.

Eine Weiterbildung sieht vor, dass die Aufladevorrichtung als Aufladestab ausgebildet ist. Dieser Aufladestab kann zum einen relativ einfach an die Papierqualität angepasst werden, zum anderen kann der Abstand des Aufladestabes zur benachbarten Oberfläche der Papierbahn sehr exakt eingestellt werden. Außerdem ist ein Austausch des Aufladestabes z.B. zu Reparatur- und/oder Wartungszwecken problemlos möglich.A further development provides that the charging device as Charging bar is formed. This charging stick can be used for one relatively easy to adapt to the paper quality, on the other hand, the distance of the charging rod to adjacent surface of the paper web is set very precisely become. In addition, an exchange of the charging stick e.g. to Repair and / or maintenance purposes possible without any problems.

Gemäß einem bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Aufladevorrichtung im Bereich der in Transportrichtung gesehen letzten Gegendruckwalze einer Rotationsdruckmaschine vorgesehen. Dies hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass die Papierbahn von der Gegendruckwalze gehalten wird und sowohl für die Halterung als auch für den Transport des Bogens in diesem Bereich kein Greifer erforderlich ist, so dass die Aufladevorrichtung relativ nahe zum Papierbogen angeordnet werden kann. Die Aufladevorrichtung liegt der Gegendruckwalze unmittelbar gegenüber. Dies bedeutet, dass der Papierbogen zwischen der Gegendruckwalze und der Aufladevorrichtung sich befindet.According to a preferred embodiment, the Charging device in the area of the transport direction seen last impression roller of a rotary printing press intended. This has the main advantage that the Paper web is held by the platen roller and both for the holder as well as for the transport of the bow in this area no gripper is required, so the Charger arranged relatively close to the sheet of paper can be. The charging device lies on the counter-pressure roller directly opposite. This means that the paper sheet between the platen roller and the charger located.

Optimale Ergebnisse werden erzielt, wenn die Aufladevorrichtung unmittelbar vor der Ablösestelle des Bogens von der Gegendruckwälze vorgesehen ist. In diesem Fall wird der Bogen sofort nach der elektrostatischen Aufladung von der Gegendruckwalze abgehoben, so dass keine Ladung über die Gegendruckwalze abfließen kann. Optimal results are achieved if the Charging device immediately before the detachment point of the Arc is provided by the counter pressure roller. In this case the bow is immediately after the electrostatic charge lifted off the platen so that no cargo is over the back pressure roller can flow off.

Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel ist vorgesehen, dass vor dem Aufladestab ein oder mehrere Ionisationsstäbe vorgesehen sind. Diese Ionisationsstäbe dienen zur Entladung bzw. Aufbereitung des Bogens vor der Aufladung mittels des Aufladestabes. Die Ionisationsstäbe werden mit Wechselspannung betrieben (etwa 6,5 kV) und dienen vorwiegend für eine aktive Entladung des Bogens bzw. der Bogenoberfläche. Der Aufladestab wird dagegen mit Gleichspannung betrieben (etwa 12 kV).In one embodiment, it is provided that before Charging bar one or more ionizing bars provided are. These ionizing bars are used for discharge or Preparation of the sheet before loading using the Charging bar. The ionizing bars are with AC operated (about 6.5 kV) and serve mainly for an active discharge of the bow or the Sheet surface. The charging stick, however, is with DC voltage operated (about 12 kV).

Vorzugsweise besteht die Gegendruckwalze aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material, z.B. aus Metall, und ist geerdet. Die Aufladevorrichtung, insbesondere der Aufladestab, ist positiv geladen bzw. sendet positive Ionen aus. Dieser Aufbau hat den wesentlichen Vorteil, dass die eine Seite des Papierbogens geerdet werden kann und auf der anderen Seite des Papierbogens die z.B. positiven Ionen aufgebracht werden und dass negativ geladener Puder verwendet werden kann.The counter-pressure roller preferably consists of an electric one conductive material, e.g. made of metal, and is grounded. The Charging device, especially the charging stick, is positive charges or sends out positive ions. This structure has the essential advantage that one side of the sheet of paper can be grounded and on the other side of the Sheet of paper e.g. positive ions are applied and that negatively charged powder can be used.

Mit Vorzug findet bei der Aufladung zwischen dem Bogen und der Gegendruckwalze bzw. der Masse keine Relativbewegung statt. Ein Abzug der negativen Ionen über die Masse kann somit ungehindert erfolgen. Außerdem wird die Aufladung nicht gestört, da der Bogen und die Masse in Ruhe zueinander sind.There is a preference for charging between the bow and the counter-pressure roller or the mass no relative movement instead of. A deduction of the negative ions over the mass can thus take place unhindered. In addition, the charging will not disturbed because the bow and the mass are at rest with each other.

Auf den elektrostatisch aufgeladenen Bogen wird dann entweder elektrostatisch z.B. negativ aufgeladener Puder oder ungeladener Puder aufgetragen. Dabei besitzt bei elektrostatisch aufgeladenem Puder der Puder die zur Ladung der bedruckten Fläche des Papierbogens entgegengesetzte Ladung.The electrostatically charged sheet is then either electrostatically e.g. negatively charged powder or applied unloaded powder. Has at electrostatically charged powder the powder to charge opposite to the printed area of the paper sheet Charge.

Vorteilhaft kann die Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung vor einem Bogenentroller angeordnet sein. Allgemein kann die Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung vor der Trocknungsstrecke angeordnet sein. Auf jeden Fall ist die Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung vor einer Bogenabbremseinrichtung vorgesehen, so dass beim Abbremsen des Bogens dieser bereits mit Puder bestäubt ist.The powder dusting device can be advantageous in front of a Bow roller can be arranged. In general, the Powder dusting device in front of the drying section be arranged. In any case, the powdering device provided in front of a sheet braking device, so that when braking the bow this already with powder is pollinated.

Ein weiterer Vorteil wird darin gesehen, dass der Bogen nach dem Ablösen von der Gegendruckwalze im Wesentlichen auf Luftpolstern geführt wird. Ein Abfließen von Ladung wird auf diese Weise verhindert oder zumindest verzögert.Another advantage is seen in the fact that the bow after detachment from the platen essentially Air cushion is guided. An outflow of charge is on this way prevented or at least delayed.

Die Aufladevorrichtung erzeugt ein der Breite des Bogens angepasstes elektrostatisches Feld, wobei das Feld an die Breite des Bogens anpassbar ist. Auf diese Weise können bei der Bearbeitung von schmalen Bogen Beschädigungen z.B. der Gegendruckwalze oder anderer Maschineneinrichtungen verhindert werden.The charger creates the width of the sheet adapted electrostatic field, the field to the Width of the arch is customizable. This way, at processing of narrow sheet damage e.g. the Back pressure roller or other machine equipment be prevented.

Weitere Vorteile, Merkmale und Einzelheiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, in der unter Bezugnahme auf die Zeichnung ein besonders bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel im Einzelnen dargestellt ist.Further advantages, features and details of the invention result from the subclaims and the following Description in which with reference to the drawing particularly preferred embodiment in detail is shown.

In der Figur 1 ist mit dem Bezugszeichen 1 eine Bogenauslegeeinrichtung bezeichnet, die sich an die letzte Gegendruckwalze 2 einer nicht dargestellten Druckmaschine, z.B. einer Rotationsdruckmaschine anschließt. Zu dieser Rotationsdruckmaschine gehört noch eine Gummiwalze 3, mit welcher die Druckfarbe auf einen Papierbogen 4 (Figur 2), welcher zwischen der Gegendruckwalze 2 und der Gummiwalze 3 hindurchgefördert wird, übertragen wird. Die Bogenauslegeeinrichtung 1 dient dem Zweck, die von der Druckmaschine herkommenden, bedruckten Papierbogen 4 zu einem Stapel aufeinander zu schichten. Hierzu umfasst die Bogenauslegeeinrichtung 1 in an sich bekannter Weise zwei im gegenseitigen Abstand angeordnete, endlose Greiferketten 5, die durch quer verlaufende Greiferwagen verbunden sind. Die quer zur Zeichnungsebene der Figur 1 gemessene Länge dieser Greiferwagen und damit der Abstand der beiden Greiferketten 5, von denen in der Figur 1 nur eine einzige dargestellt ist, entspricht etwa der Breite der abzustapelnden Papierbogen 4. Jeder Greiferwagen weist einen Greifer 6 auf, der den zu transportierenden Papierbogen 4 am vorderen Rand festhält, wie es in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Die Papierbogen 4 werden von den Greifern 6 so mitgeschleppt, dass die bedruckte Bogenseite 7 (Figur 2) zum Greifer 6 zeigt, so dass sie im Stapel nach oben gerichtet ist.In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 is one Sheet delivery device referred to the last Counter-pressure roller 2 of a printing machine, not shown, e.g. a rotary printing press. To this Rotary printing press also includes a rubber roller 3, with which the printing ink on a sheet of paper 4 (Figure 2), which between the counter-pressure roller 2 and the rubber roller 3rd is conveyed through, is transmitted. The Sheet delivery device 1 serves the purpose of the Printing machine coming, printed paper sheets 4 into one To stack piles on top of each other. To this end, the Sheet delivery device 1 in a manner known per se two mutually spaced, endless gripper chains 5, which are connected by transverse gripper carriages. The length of this measured transversely to the plane of the drawing in FIG. 1 Gripper carriage and thus the distance between the two gripper chains 5, of which only one is shown in FIG. 1, corresponds approximately to the width of the paper sheets 4 to be stacked. Each gripper carriage has a gripper 6, which too transporting paper sheets 4 at the front edge, as shown in Figure 2. The paper sheets 4 are dragged along by the grippers 6 so that the printed sheet side 7 (Figure 2) shows the gripper 6, so that it is facing up in the stack.

Um die Trocknung des bedruckten Papierbogens 4 auf dem (nicht dargestellten) Stapel zu begünstigen und um ein Schmieren der noch feuchten Druckfarbe beim Aufeinanderschichten der Bogen im Stapel zu verhindern, müssen die bedruckten Bogen 4 vor ihrer Ablage mit Puder beschichtet werden. Hierfür weist die Bogenauslegeeinrichtung 1 eine Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung 8 auf, die in Figur 1 lediglich schematisch dargestellt ist. Mit dieser Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung 8 wird auf den vorbeitransportierten Papierbogen 4 Puder aufgeblasen. Die Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung 8 weist einen Abstand zum Papierbogen 4 auf, der ein Vorbeilaufen des Greifers 6 ermöglicht. Dieser Abstand kann bis zu 15 cm betragen.To dry the printed paper sheet 4 on the (not favor) stack and to lubricate the still damp ink when layering the sheets To prevent stacking, the printed sheets 4 must be in front be coated with powder in their storage. For this, the Sheet delivery device 1 a powder dusting device 8 on, which is shown only schematically in Figure 1. With this powder dusting device 8 is on the pasted sheets of paper inflated 4 powders. The Powder dusting device 8 is at a distance from Sheet of paper 4 on which the gripper 6 runs past allows. This distance can be up to 15 cm.

In der Figur 2 ist die Gegendruckwalze 2 sowie eine Umlenkrolle 9 für die Greiferkette 5 dargestellt. Der Papierbogen 4 wird während des Druckvorganges mittels Halteelementen 10 an der Gegendruckwalze 2 festgehalten, wobei die Halteelemente 10 in die Gegendruckwalze 2 integriert sind. In geringem Abstand zur bedruckten Bogenseite 7 des Papierbogens 4 befindet sich eine Aufladevorrichtung 11, die der Gegendruckwalze 2 gegenüberliegt. Außerdem befindet sich die Aufladevorrichtung 11 unmittelbar vor der Ablösestelle 12, an der der Papierbogen 4 von der Gegendruckwalze 2 abgehoben und vom Greifer 6 in die Bogenauslegeeinrichtung 1 transportiert wird. Da keine Elemente über die Zylinderoberfläche der Gegendruckwalze 2 überstehen, kann die Aufladevorrichtung 11 mit sehr geringem Abstand zur Oberfläche der Gegendruckwalze 2 bzw. zur bedruckten Bogenseite 7 des Papierbogens 4 angeordnet sein.In Figure 2, the counter-pressure roller 2 and a Deflection roller 9 shown for the gripper chain 5. The Paper sheet 4 is during the printing process Holding elements 10 held on the counter-pressure roller 2, wherein the holding elements 10 integrated into the counter-pressure roller 2 are. At a short distance from the printed sheet side 7 of the Paper sheet 4 is a charger 11, the the counter-pressure roller 2 is opposite. Also located the charging device 11 immediately before the detachment point 12, on which the paper sheet 4 from the counter-pressure roller 2 lifted and from the gripper 6 into the sheet delivery device 1 is transported. Since there are no items about that Can protrude cylinder surface of the backing roller 2, the Charging device 11 at a very short distance from Surface of the impression roller 2 or the printed one Sheet side 7 of the paper sheet 4 may be arranged.

Die Aufladevorrichtung 11 besteht bei dem in der Figur 2 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel aus einem Aufladestab 15 und zwei ionisationsstäben 18, die dem Aufladestab 15 vorgeschaltet sind, um den Bogen 4 zu entladen bw. für die Aufladung vorzubereiten.The charging device 11 is the one in FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment from a charging rod 15 and two ionizing bars 18 which are connected to the charging bar 15 are upstream to unload the sheet 4 bw. for the Prepare for charging.

Die Figur 3 zeigt einen Ausschnitt der Gegendruckwalze 2, auf welcher der Papierbogen 4 aufliegt. Die Gegendruckwalze 2 ist bei 13 geerdet. Außerdem besteht die Gegendruckwalze 2 aus einem elektrisch leitenden Material, so dass die der bedruckten Bogenseite 7 gegenüberliegende Bogenseite 14 mit der Erdung 13 flächig verbunden ist. Außerdem ist in der Figur 3 der Aufladestab 15 erkennbar. Dieser Aufladestab 15 gibt z.B. positiv geladene Ionen 16 in Richtung des vorbeilaufenden Papierbogens 4 ab. Diese positiven Ionen 16 lagern sich auf der bedruckten Bogenseite 7 an, wobei sich auf der unbedruckten Bogenseite 14 negative Ionen 17 ansammeln.FIG. 3 shows a section of the counter-pressure roller 2 which the sheet of paper 4 rests. The platen roller 2 is grounded at 13. In addition, the counter-pressure roller 2 consists of an electrically conductive material so that the printed sheet side 7 opposite sheet side 14 with the ground 13 is connected flat. In addition, in the Figure 3 shows the charging bar 15 recognizable. This charging stick 15 e.g. positively charged ions 16 in the direction of passing sheet of paper 4. These positive ions 16 accumulate on the printed sheet side 7, whereby 14 negative ions 17 on the unprinted sheet side accumulate.

Die Figur 4 zeigt den Papierbogen 4 unmittelbar nach der Ablösestelle 12, d.h. nach der Trennung von der Gegendruckwalze 5. Die beiden Bogenseiten 7 und 14 tragen die positiven Ionen 16 bzw. die negativen Ionen 17. Dieser Papierbogen 4 wird nun vom Greifer 6 in Richtung der Puderbestäubungsvorrichtung 8 transportiert, wo dann der Puder, der negativ geladen sein kann, aufgeblasen wird. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, ungeladenen Puder zu verwenden.Figure 4 shows the paper sheet 4 immediately after the Transfer point 12, i.e. after the separation from the Counter pressure roller 5. The two sheet sides 7 and 14 carry the positive ions 16 and the negative ions 17. This Paper sheet 4 is now from the gripper 6 in the direction of Powder dusting device 8 transported, where then the Powder, which can be negatively charged, is inflated. It however, it is also conceivable to use unloaded powder.

Als vorteil wird angesehen, dass der Papierbogen 4 bei der elektrostatischen Aufladung vorzugsweise vollflächig an der Gegendruckwalze 2 anliegt, die ihrerseits geerdet ist. Auf diese Weise ist die ganze unbedruckte Bogenseite 14 während der elektrostatischen Aufladung geerdet. Da die Aufladevorrichtung 11 in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft zur bedruckten Bogenseite 7 angeordnet ist, kann eine optimale Ausrichtung des elektrischen Feldes und eine exakte Einstellung der Feldstärke gewährleistet werden. Da unmittelbar nach der elektrostatischen Aufladung des Papierbogens 4 dieser von der Gegendruckwalze 2 abgehoben wird, wird die Ladung mitgenommen, bevor sie ausgeglichen wird bzw. abfließt.It is considered an advantage that the paper sheet 4 at the electrostatic charge preferably over the entire surface of the Back pressure roller 2 is applied, which in turn is grounded. On this way the whole unprinted sheet side 14 is during the electrostatic charge is grounded. Since the Charger 11 in the immediate vicinity of printed sheet side 7 is arranged, can be optimal Alignment of the electrical field and an exact Setting the field strength can be guaranteed. There immediately after the electrostatic charging of the Paper sheet 4 this is lifted from the backing roller 2 the load is taken before it is balanced is flowing away.

Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung kann der Puder mit geringerem Verlust und gezielter auf den Papierbogen 4 aufgetragen werden.With the device according to the invention, the powder can less loss and more targeted to the paper sheet 4 be applied.
