Definitions

  • the invention relates to an upper unit for a screen printing machine, with a holder for the screen stencil, which can be raised and lowered relative to a printing table depending on the movement of the squeegee carrier, which is mounted in lateral guide beams, and is provided with support angles for the screen stencil.
  • a mother frame which is generally constructed from rectangular tubes.
  • the support brackets on which the screen template is clamped are in turn clamped on the long sides of the mother frame and can be moved in the longitudinal direction of these long sides to adapt to the screen template.
  • the mother frame itself is provided with adjusting devices which engage in the area of its corners. There are also clamping cylinders that hold the mother frame after adjustment.
  • the mother frame is then raised parallel to the printing table after each printing process for removing and inserting the printed matter and is lifted up on one side during the printing process in order to remove the screen template from To solve printed matter.
  • the mother frame used in such superstructures then leads to a relatively inaccurate mounting of the screen template if it is smaller than the mother frame and therefore one of the support angles in the central region of the mother frame and thus must be kept relatively far from the clamping points provided at the corners of the mother frame. This can lead to inaccuracies when printing.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy this situation and to design an upper structure of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that, regardless of the size of the screen template, a simple and exact mounting for the screen template is always ensured.
  • the support brackets are each arranged on cross members which are connected on both sides by slides which, in order to adapt the support brackets to the screen template, are guided on the side rails on the guide beams and can be clamped thereon ,
  • each screen template is held directly on the side support rails via the crossmembers and is therefore securely clamped.
  • the support brackets are attached to the cross members via swivel hinges, so that when one of the support brackets is lifted on one side, the screen template clamped on the support brackets for a swiveling movement of the Contact angle takes place about an axis running in its longitudinal axis.
  • a lifting device and hinges are assigned to one of the support angles, which enable both a pivoting and a lifting movement of the support angle relative to the cross member.
  • This can be done, for example, in that the part of the hinge connected to the support angle is arranged such that it can be displaced in height on a guide bolt which is firmly screwed to the cross member.
  • the swivel hinges themselves, or at least a part thereof, can be firmly screwed to the cross members, so that a very stable arrangement is also achieved.
  • the entire screen template can be lifted off in the usual way.
  • the one-sided lifting movement can be achieved in that an electric motor is provided which carries out the sieve lift function in synchronization with the squeegee movement and raises one of the support angles in the manner described above during printing in a manner known per se via swivel levers.
  • mechanical elements for lifting which must be mechanically coupled to the drive elements for the squeegee movement, can be dispensed with.
  • the two slides of each cross member are guided with ball guides on support surfaces, so that a slide adjustment for the purpose of adjustment, which can be carried out using micrometer screws or the like, both in the longitudinal direction of the support rails and in the longitudinal direction of the crossbeam is made possible, so that the screen template can also be adjusted by adjusting the support angle.
  • a rack can be assigned to each of the mounting rails, into each of which a pinion connected to a slide and non-rotatably connected to the pinion of the opposite slide for the purpose of synchronization the adjustment of the slide engages in the longitudinal direction of the mounting rails.
  • the crossbeams can be jammed with respect to the mounting rails by means of pneumatic cylinders or the like. Such clamping cylinders can also be assigned to the support angles for clamping the screen template.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of the upper structure of a screen printing machine according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the side view of the upper structure according to FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial section through the arrangement of FIG. 1 along the section line III-III,
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged, also partially sectioned, plan view of the corner region shown in FIG. 3,
  • Fig. 5 is a schematic longitudinal sectional view through the area of the stencil holder along the section line V-V in the
  • Fig. 6 is a plan view of a corner of the mounting arrangement of the support legs for the screen template in the direction of arrow VI and
  • FIG. 7 shows the top view of the opposite corner of the screen template holder in the direction of arrow VII in FIG. 5.
  • 1 and 2 show the guide bar 1 for a doctor unit, not shown, under which the holder for a screen template 2 is provided.
  • the rectangular sieve template 2 is placed with the shorter side of its border 3 on a support bracket 4 or 5 and clamped there, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to 7.
  • Each support bracket 4 is connected via hinges 5 and 6 to a cross member 7 and 8, both of which are connected to carriages 9 at their outer ends.
  • the carriages 9 are in turn guided on lateral guides 10 running parallel to the guide beams 1 and are held laterally on guide profiles 11, this longitudinal guidance of the carriages also being provided with adjusting devices which adjust the position of the carriage and thus also the position of the support angles 4 or 4a enable.
  • the cross member 7 - see FIGS. 1 and 4 - is first connected via a clamping device 42 to a further cross member 40 which carries a shaft 44 which is provided on both sides with a pinion 41 which engages in a rack 43.
  • the toothed rack 43 runs parallel to the guide bar 1 or to the guides 10 and 11.
  • the crossbeams 7 and 40 and, analogously, the crossbeams 8 and 40 ' form a unit which can be quickly moved by hand with their slides 9 in the longitudinal direction of the guide beams, the two being arranged on both sides and joined together.
  • the clamping device 42 is first released, so that the slide 9 and cross member 7 (analog 8) are free of the cross members 40 and 40 'and can be displaced longitudinally and transversely on the guides 10 by a certain small amount of approximately 10 mm each ,
  • manually adjustable devices 12 and 13 are provided for this purpose, but are designed differently.
  • the adjusting device 13 is there to bring about an adjustment of the assigned slide 9 in its longitudinal direction, that is to say in the direction of the guides 10 and 11, while the adjusting device 12 serves to slide the slide 9 transversely to its longitudinal direction on the guide 10 to adjust in this direction to achieve a fine adjustment of the screen template placed on the support angles 4, 4a.
  • the adjusting device 12 consists of a spindle 15 which can be rotated by hand via the handle 14 and into which a screw sleeve 16 engages, which in turn rests on an end face of the slide 9 at its end facing away from the attack 14. Since the receiving housing 17 of the spindle 15 is fixed relative to the guide 10, the slide 9 can be displaced in this way on its guide 10 transversely to its contact surface running in the longitudinal direction of the guide 10. For this purpose, the slide 9 is mounted on the guide 10 with the aid of ball guides 18, which enable such a transverse displacement.
  • the slide is adjusted by actuating a screw spindle 19, which is also arranged fixedly opposite the guide 11 and 10 on the receiving sleeve 20.
  • the spindle 19 carries at its end facing away from the handle 14a a pinion 21 with helical teeth, which in turn engages in a pinion 22 also with helical teeth.
  • This pinion 22 is seated in a rotationally fixed manner on a screw spindle 23, which in turn engages in a threaded sleeve 24, the end 24a of which rests on a contact surface of the slide 9, so that its lengthwise direction can be adjusted.
  • an adjustment of the carriage 9 is possible, which are connected to the cross member 8.
  • clamping devices in the form of pneumatic cylinders 25 ensure that that the carriage and cross member 7 and 8 are held in the adjusted position for the printing process. Since the screen template 2 rests on the support angles 4 and 4a and is clamped on these support angles (see FIG. 5 and the associated description), the screen template 2 is kept very stable and perfectly aligned for the printing process. A mother frame becomes superfluous. The screen template 2 represents the connection between the two displaceable support angles 4.
  • the support bracket 4a is held on its assigned support 8 so that it can be raised.
  • the lifting process takes place here via angle levers 26 known per se - which are also shown schematically in FIG. 3, although such a lifting device is not assigned to the support angle 4 - which are actuated synchronously with the squeegee movement by means of a sieve lift motor 27.
  • Both sides of the support bracket 4a are associated with such lever arrangements, for example in the area of the two hinges 6, which can be actuated synchronously via a connecting rod 27 (FIG. 3).
  • the hinges 6 are formed in the manner shown in FIGS. 5 and 7. Of course, another configuration would also be possible.
  • the hinge 6, as shown in FIG. 7, first provides a pivot pin 28 between a base 29 which is firmly screwed to the cross member 8 and a part 30 which is movable relative thereto, about the axis of which the part 30 can be pivoted relative to the part 29.
  • the hinge part 30 is provided with a guide pin 32 projecting vertically upwards, which is surrounded by a guide sleeve 31, which in turn is part of the connecting piece 33 to the support angle 4a.
  • the support bracket 4a as shown in FIG. 5, is designed as a profile part and has a longitudinal groove 34, in which slot nuts of a pneumatic clamping cylinder 35 engage, which in this way is arranged to be longitudinally adjustable on the support bracket 4a and clamps the screen template 2 onto the support bracket 4a.
  • the support bracket 4 is formed and the corresponding parts are provided with the same reference numerals. What differs from the suspension of the support bracket 4a here is that the support bracket 4 is only pivotably arranged via its hinge 5, which consists of a base part 36 which is firmly screwed to the cross member 7 and a part 37 which is pivotably held relative to the cross member 7 by the bolt 28 , which is firmly screwed to the support bracket 4. It is clear from the selected representation of FIGS. 5 to 7 that the screen template 2 can be lifted off the printed matter during printing by lifting the support angle 4a.
  • the support angle 4 is thereby pivoted about the bolt 28 of its hinge 5 due to the resulting inclined position of the screen template, the support angle 4a also being pivoted about the hinge bolt 28 of its hinge 6.
  • the part 33 of this hinge 6 is, as previously indicated, raised in the longitudinal direction of the bolt 32 during the printing process.
