Abstract

The invention relates to a dampening system. A surplus dampening means that has not been applied to a transmission roller (3) is supplied through a collecting line to optionally one of several collecting basins (23, 24) by means of a multipath valve (19). Separation of the dispensed liquids is thus possible in a perfectly classifying manner.

Description

Beschreibungdescription
Feuchtwerk und Verfahren zum wahlweise Ausbringen von Feuchtmittel oder ReinigungsflüssigkeitDampening unit and process for the optional application of dampening solution or cleaning liquid
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Feuchtwerk und ein Verfahren zum wahlweise Ausbringen von Feuchtmittel oder Reinigungsflüssigkeit gemäß dem Oberbegriff der Ansprüche 1 oder 3.The invention relates to a dampening unit and a method for the optional application of dampening solution or cleaning liquid according to the preamble of claims 1 or 3.
Durch eine Werbeschrift „Sprühfeuchten und Gummireinigen in Einem" der Schwedischen Firma Grafiskt Team AB, S-57 121 Nässjö, ist ein Sprühfeuchtwerk bekannt geworden, mittels welchem alternativ auch Plattenzylinder oder Gummizylinder eines Druckwerkes gesäubert werden können.A spray dampening unit has become known from an advertising leaflet "Spray damps and rubber cleaning in one" from the Swedish company Grafiskt Team AB, S-57 121 Nässjö, by means of which plate cylinders or rubber cylinders of a printing unit can alternatively be cleaned.
Die DE 36 38 607 A1 beschreibt ein Farbwerk, bei dem ein Auffangbehälter wahlweise mit verschiedenen Auffangbehältern verbindbar ist.DE 36 38 607 A1 describes an inking unit in which a collecting container can optionally be connected to different collecting containers.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Feuchtwerk und Verfahren zum wahlweise Ausbringen von Feuchtmittel oder Reinigungsflüssigkeit zu schaffen.The invention has for its object to provide a dampening system and method for optionally applying dampening solution or cleaning liquid.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die Merkmale der Ansprüche 1 oder 3 gelöst.The object is achieved by the features of claims 1 or 3.
Die mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß die wahlweise auf die Feuchtmittelwalze aufbringbaren verschiedenen Flüssigkeiten bei teilweiser Nichtbenutzung jeweils separat, d. h. sortenrein verschiedenen Sammelbehältern zugeführt werden können. Nachfolgend können die Flüssigkeiten entweder wieder aufbereitet der jeweiligen Flüssigkeitszuführung beigemischt oder aber entsorgt werden.The advantages which can be achieved with the invention consist in particular in that the different liquids which can optionally be applied to the dampening solution roller, when not in use, each separately, ie. H. can be fed to different collection containers according to type. Subsequently, the liquids can either be reprocessed, added to the respective liquid supply, or disposed of.
Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below. Show it:
Fig. 1 eine schematische Darstellung eines Querschnittes durch ein Sprühfeuchtwerk; Fig. 2 einen Längsschnitt II - II nach Fig. 1 mit Darstellung des linken Endes des Sprühfeuchtwerkes, jedoch mit Schaltmitteln.Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a cross section through a spray dampening unit. Fig. 2 shows a longitudinal section II - II of FIG. 1 showing the left end of the spray dampening unit, but with switching means.
Ein Feuchtwerk 01 für ein Druckwerk einer Rotationsdruckmaschine besteht u. a. aus einem Rahmen 02, welcher ein in achsparalleler Richtung zu einer Walze, z. B. einer Ubertragungswalze 03 für Feuchtmittel verlaufendes Gehäuse 04 trägt. Die Ubertragungswalze 03 ragt mit einem Teil ihrer Mantelfläche 06 in das einseitig in Richtung Ubertragungswalze 03 geöffnete Gehäuse 04. Das Gehäuse 04 nimmt mehrere in axialer Richtung der Ubertragungswalze 03 voneinander beabstandete Mittel zum Auftragen von Feuchtmittel, z. B. Sprühdüsen 07 auf.A dampening unit 01 for a printing unit of a rotary printing press exists u. a. from a frame 02, which is an axially parallel to a roller, for. B. carries a transfer roller 03 for dampening solution extending housing 04. The transfer roller 03 protrudes with a part of its lateral surface 06 into the housing 04 opened on one side in the direction of the transfer roller 03. The housing 04 takes several means for applying dampening solution, eg. B. spray nozzles 07.
Die Sprühdüsen 07 sind auf einer zwischen den Rahmenteilen befestigten Traverse 08 auf einem Düsenträger 10 angeordnet und weisen mit ihrer Sprühöffnung jeweils in Richtung der Mantelfläche 06 der Ubertragungswalze 03. Jede der Sprühdüsen 07 ist an eine mit einem Rückschlagventil 09 versehenen gemeinsamen Zuleitung 11 angeschlossen, die wiederum über ein Mehrwegeventil 12 wahlweise mit einer Zuleitung 13 für Feuchtmittel oder einer Zuleitung 14 für Reinigungsflüssigkeit verbindbar ist.The spray nozzles 07 are arranged on a crossbar 08 fastened between the frame parts on a nozzle carrier 10 and each point with their spray opening in the direction of the lateral surface 06 of the transfer roller 03. Each of the spray nozzles 07 is connected to a common feed line 11 provided with a check valve 09, which in turn can be connected via a multi-way valve 12 optionally to a supply line 13 for dampening solution or a supply line 14 for cleaning liquid.
Das die Sprühdüsen 07 aufnehmende Gehäuse 04 ist an seiner Unterseite als Auffangbehälter 16 ausgebildet, so daß eine oder mehrere Flüssigkeitsrücklaufstellen 17 entstehen, die jeweils in eine Sammelleitung 18 münden. Die Sammelleitung 18 ist über ein Mehrwegeventil 19 wahlweise über Leitungen 21 ; 22 mit einem Sammelbehälter 23; 24 für Feuchtmittel bzw. für Reinigungsflüssigkeit verbunden.The housing 04 receiving the spray nozzles 07 is designed on its underside as a collecting container 16, so that one or more liquid return points 17 are formed, each of which opens into a collecting line 18. The manifold 18 is via a multi-way valve 19 optionally via lines 21; 22 with a collecting container 23; 24 connected for dampening solution or for cleaning liquid.
Das Feuchtwerk 01 kann bekannterweise außer der Ubertragungswalze 03 noch zwei oder drei andere Zylinder oder Walzen aufweisen, von denen eine nicht dargestellte Feuchtauftragwalze mit einem Formzylinder und dieser wiederum mit einem Gummizylinder eines Druckwerkes zusammenwirkt. Die Funktion ist wie folgt:As is known, in addition to the transfer roller 03, the dampening unit 01 can have two or three other cylinders or rollers, of which a dampening roller (not shown) interacts with a forme cylinder and this in turn interacts with a blanket cylinder of a printing unit. The function is as follows:
Während des Produktionsvorganges, z. B. dem Drucken insbesondere von Zeitungen, wird das von der Ubertragungswalze 03 ablaufende überschüssige Feuchtmittel im Sammelbehälter 23 für Feuchtmittel aufgenommen. Wird die Ubertragungswalze 03 mit Reinigungsflüssigkeit besprüht, so sind beide Mehrwegeventile 12; 19 z. B. elektrisch betätigbar umgeschaltet und die überflüssige Reinigungsflüssigkeit wird im Sammelbehälter 24 für Reinigungsflüssigkeit aufgenommen.During the production process, e.g. B. the printing of newspapers in particular, the excess dampening solution running off the transfer roller 03 is received in the collecting container 23 for dampening solution. If the transfer roller 03 is sprayed with cleaning liquid, then both multi-way valves 12; 19 z. B. switched electrically operable and the unnecessary cleaning liquid is received in the collecting container 24 for cleaning liquid.
Vor dem Auftragen von Feuchtmittel während der Produktion, d. h. während des Drückens, findet ein Spülvorgang statt. Während des Spülvorganges wird bereits für das Drucken geeignetes Feuchtmittel mittels des Feuchtwerkes ausgebracht, aber nicht in den Sammelbehälter 23 für Feuchtmittel (der der Wiederaufbereitung dient) geleitet, sondern in den Sammelbehälter 24 für Reinigungsflüssigkeit.Before applying dampening solution during production, i. H. a rinsing process takes place during pressing. During the rinsing process, dampening solution suitable for printing is already applied by means of the dampening unit, but is not passed into the collecting container 23 for dampening solution (which serves for reprocessing), but rather into the collecting container 24 for cleaning liquid.
Die Sprühdüsen 07 sind also während des Spülens mit der Zuleitung 13 für Feuchtmittel und der Auffangbehälter 16 ist mit dem Sammelbehälter 24 für Reinigungsflüssigkeit verbunden. The spray nozzles 07 are thus connected to the supply line 13 for dampening solution during the rinsing and the collecting container 16 is connected to the collecting container 24 for cleaning liquid.
