Definitions

  • the WO 0078548 A1 shows a clamping device for a doctor blade, wherein a clamping rail has been provided with a T-shaped groove, so that this, in operative connection with the spring of the carrier, the doctor blade can clamp.
  • the clamping plates are flexible plates which are held on the doctoring chamber body by screws or similar fixing means, but are not finally fixed. Clamping takes place on the side of the screws facing the roller, in that the fastening means elongated in the axial direction (z) of the roller exert a force on the clamping plate which points away from the doctor chamber body.
  • the clamping plate is held by the screws on the doctoring chamber body so that the clamping plate bends and on the side of the screws facing the roller exerts a force on the doctor blade which is directed onto the doctoring chamber body and fixes the doctor blade to the doctoring chamber body. If the force exerted by the elongated fastener force effect is suppressed, no force is exerted on the doctor blade and possibly the clamping plate.
  • the fastening means which are elongate in the axial direction (z) of the roller are rods with a partially round cross section, which are rotatably mounted in the doctor chamber body.
  • the FIG. 1 shows a paint chamber doctor blade 1 of the prior art.
  • the ink chamber 8 is limited by the inking roller 6 of the doctoring chamber body 5, which of course may also consist of several parts, and the doctor blade 2 is limited.
  • the two doctor blades 2 of the ink chamber doctor blade 1 are each fixed by a clamping plate 3 which presses the doctor blade associated with it against the doctor chamber body 5.
  • the force required for this purpose is the restoring force of the clamping plate, which arises because the clamping plate between the elongated fastening element 4, which is pronounced in the present case as a rod and the head of the screw 7 and the doctor chamber body 5 is bent.
  • FIG. 3 shows a clamping plate, which for use in the in the Figures 1 and 2 illustrated doctoring chamber is suitable.
  • the round holes 10 and the grooves 11 form the apertures 9.
  • the diameter of the holes 10 is matched with the necessary play on the head of the screw 7, while the width of the groove 11 is tuned to the diameter of the screw neck.
  • FIG. 4 and 5 show a chamber doctor blade according to the invention, in which the clamping plates 3 is provided with an attachment piece 13 which comprises a connecting element 14.
  • the connecting element is matched to the recess 15 of the rod 4.
  • the shape of the recess 15 is in FIG. 6 shown again.
  • FIG. 6 shows a plan view of the clamping plate 3, which in the in FIGS. 4 and 5 used chambered doctor blade according to the invention is used.
