Definitions

  • the invention concerns a system for printing on the external surface of items, in particular containers in general, for example bottles, or flasks made of glass, plastic material or other materials.
  • the state of the art comprises silkscreen-printing machines for decorating containers provided with a flat screen underneath which the containers to be decorated are brought in sequence.
  • both the containers and the screen are supported by organs that are able to move each container along a path corresponding to part of the extension of the lateral surface of the container while the container is kept tangent to the screen, in such a way as to enable the doctor that slide on the opposite side of the screen to progressively transfer the ink onto said lateral surface through open meshes of the screen that define a desired pattern to be printed.
  • EP 1147892 discloses a machine for printing on containers provided with a plurality of printing stations each one of which is equipped with a roller whose longitudinal axis is parallel to a longitudinal axis of a container to be printed.
  • Each of said rollers is rotationally actuated around said longitudinal axis and is positioned in such a way as to face a lateral surface that has to be printed.
  • Each roller is externally provided with a plurality of small cavities suitable for receiving an ink or glaze that has to be transferred onto the container.
  • the ink is introduced into said cavities by means of a doctor blade that is kept adjacent to an external generatrix of the printing roller to remove the excess amount of ink poured in a zone immediately upstream of the doctor blade with respect to the rotation direction of the printing roller.
  • the machine furthermore comprises a plurality of heating stations and a plurality of drying stations arranged in such a way that each of said printing stations is placed between a respective heating station and a respective drying station.
  • the containers before reaching each printing station, are advanced through a heating station wherein they are set up to receive the ink.
  • each container is made to advance through a drying station in which the ink is dried so as to adhere permanently to the container.
  • the machine disclosed above although it enables excellent results to be obtained in printing on containers having a smooth external surface, is not as effective in printing on containers provided with a rough surface.
  • the surfaces of the containers may have zones in which there are small hollows, in this case said zones do not come into contact with the roller surfaces and are therefore lacking in ink.
  • a further drawback occurs if containers have to be printed that have a bulging lateral surface, or comprising portions of spherical surface, in this case, even if the rollers are partially deformable to adapt to the shape of said surface, splashes and imprecision in the transfer of ink may occur.
  • Machines for printing on containers are also known that have an ink-jet printing head and which are suitable for reproducing an inscription on a surface of a container, or a pattern in general.
  • Such machines have a conveying line, along which the items are moved for interacting with said printing head, which is maintained in a stationary configuration during the operations of transfer of the ink.
  • Said machines are able to print, with qualitatively acceptable results, only containers delimited by flat surfaces facing the printing head.
  • said machines are unable to print complicated ornamental patterns, or complex inscriptions, but only groups of a few characters such as for example, packaging dates, numbers indicating the production batch and expiry dates.
  • An object of the invention is to improve the systems for printing on items, in particular printing on containers in general.
  • Another object is to obtain a system suitable for printing on items delimited by walls having any type of profile.
  • a further object is to obtain a system that enables printing on items having any surface finish.
  • a still further object of the invention is to obtain a system for printing captions or ornamental patterns of significant complexity on items.
  • a machine for printing on items comprising a printing unit provided with a printing head arranged to transfer at least one jet of printing means onto an external surface of said items, characterised in that said printing unit comprises moving means arranged to keep said at least one jet substantially perpendicular to said surface during said printing.
  • the moving means is so configured as to move the printing head with respect to the containers to be printed.
  • the moving means is so configured as to keep the printing head and the surface to be printed at a substantially constant distance.
  • said printing head comprises an ink-jet . printing head.
  • an apparatus can be obtained that is suitable for printing on items having any profile and any surface finish.
  • an ink-jet printing head in fact, enables contact between the printing head and an item to be printed to be avoided, thereby reducing the possibility of imprecision generated by surface roughness of the latter.
  • providing moving means that enables the printing head to shift to keep itself at a constant preset distance from the item to be printed for the entire duration of printing operations enables printing on items delimited by surfaces having any extension.
  • the machine furthermore comprises profile-detecting means suitable for detecting the profile of the surface of the item that has to be printed.
  • said profile-detecting means comprises distance-sensor means associated with the printing head and suitable for detecting the distance between the printing head and the items to be printed.
  • said detecting means comprises, as an alternative to said sensor, mechanical probe means.
  • the electronic command and control unit communicates with the profile-detecting means.
  • a method for printing on items comprising transferring at least one jet of printing means onto an external surface of said items, characterised in that, during said transferring, there is provided keeping at least said one said jet substantially perpendicular to said surface.
  • said keeping comprises moving said at least one jet with respect to said surface.
  • said transferring comprises expelling said jet from a printing head.
  • a method is provided that enables items to be printed that have external surfaces that extend along curved profiles with rather satisfying quality results.
  • Such method furthermore enables ornamental patterns or inscriptions to be obtained on the surfaces of the containers to be printed that are of significant complexity but are nevertheless clearly defined.
  • a machine 1 comprises a turntable structure 2 angularly indexable around a vertical axis Z and comprising a plurality of support arms 4 radially arranged and reciprocally staggered by an angle of 15°.
  • a series of five operating units 12 are arranged in sequence, each one of which comprises a heating station 6 of containers 7 supported at the end of each arm 4, a printing station 8 of the containers 7 and a drying station 10 of the printed containers.
  • the different operating units 12 can each be used to print a colour, so that the overall pattern printed on the containers 7 may comprise five colours. Furthermore, the different operating units can be arranged to print different faces of the same container 7, so that up to five different faces of the same container 7 can be printed.
  • the containers 7 are taken one after the other by the arms 4 near to the stations 6, 8, 10 of the different operating units 12 as the arms 4 advance by an angle of 15° in the direction indicated by the arrow R.
  • one or more loading stations 14 are provided arranged for receiving, manually or automatically, on the arms 4 containers 7 to be printed.
  • one or more unloading stations 16 are provided arranged for removing, manually or automatically, from the arms 4 the already printed containers 7.
  • a filling station 18 of the printed containers 7 can be provided upstream of the first unloading station 16 .
  • the arms 4 comprise bottom parts 26 connected to a central hub 31 and top parts 28 the heights of which can be adjusted with respect to the hub 31.
  • the bottom parts 26 terminate in a bottom cradle means 32 suitable for receiving a bottom end of the containers 7, 7a and which can be rotationally actuated by means of a respective motor that is not shown.
