Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing unit of a printing press according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a printing press is from the DE 197 05 369 A1 known.
  • the printing and ink transfer rollers are mounted with their first ends one-way flying in each case mounted on guide rails bracket.
  • the second ends of which are mounted by means of interceptors, which in turn are mounted on bearing blocks.
  • the interceptors can be detached from the rollers and moved together with the bearing blocks. In this way, the second, free ends of the rollers, for example, for the purpose of Sleeve
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to propose an arrangement in a printing unit, are avoided in the possible displacements and deflections of the doctor blade chamber after releasing the fixed connection to the bearing block.
  • the object is achieved in that the second bearing block associated doctor chamber holder is permanently supported by support members on the second bearing block.
  • the doctor chamber holder therefore no longer needs to be completely detached from the second bearing block.
  • the doctor blade chamber or the doctor blade chamber support carrying it no longer has to be deposited on the printing press frame.
  • the support elements comprise at least linear guide, which are mounted on the doctor blade chamber holder such that the second bearing block is displaceable relative to the doctor chamber holder. In this way, the bearing block can be moved without the doctor chamber is deformed by a raising or lowering movement.
  • the support elements consist of a rail attached to the blade chamber holder rail and a fixed to the bearing block guide carriage. In this way it is possible to move the bearing block relative to the doctor chamber holder to release the free end of the pressure roller without having to completely separate the doctor chamber holder from the bearing block.
  • the doctor chamber holder is locked in printing unit frame. This prevents bending of the doctor chamber due to slipping on the side and thus prevents possible damage to the surface of the ink transfer roller even with a non-horizontal printing unit.
  • doctor chamber holder is alternately connected to the bearing block or with the printing unit frame.
  • a locking bolt slidably mounted on the blade chamber holder can be provided, which in its one end position firmly connects the blade chamber holder to the bearing block and in its other end position engages in a recess of the printing unit frame.
  • a locking plate is advantageously attached to the Anilox roller block, which is clamped between the locking pin and a stop.
  • both elements are provided on the mutually facing surfaces with mutually parallel slopes in a particularly preferred embodiment, so that the game is eliminated by changing the travel of the locking pin.
  • doctor chamber holder is to be fixed to the printing unit frame, it is advantageous to provide a receptacle attached to the printing unit frame for this purpose.
  • the means for displacing the locking pin comprise a drive unit and means for transmitting the driving force.
  • a drive unit can be provided a piston-cylinder unit.
  • the means for Transferring the driving force from a mounted on the piston of the piston-cylinder unit recording, which engages in the printing position of the anilox block a pin attached to the locking pin.
  • a pin attached to the locking pin In this way it is possible to provide the piston-cylinder unit on the anilox block.
  • Such an arrangement offers the advantage that lines for driving the piston-cylinder unit can be placed parallel to further, driven or driven devices located on the anilox roller block.
  • Fig. 1 shows a flexographic printing machine of known type in printing position.
  • An impression cylinder 1 on which the material web to be printed and not shown is guided, is mounted in a machine frame, not shown.
  • Fixed to the machine frame is a printing frame 2, which is part of the printing unit 3.
  • the rear printing unit frame which is mounted on the rear side of the impression cylinder on the machine frame, is not visible.
  • a plurality of such inking units can be provided, which are then distributed over the circumference of the impression cylinder.
  • the pressure roller 29 is mounted in an interceptor 7.
  • the interceptor is based on the pressure roller bearing block, which is supported on the guide rail 12 via the carriage 13 and can be moved back and forth along the double arrow B via the motor 14 and the spindle 15.
  • the guide rail 12 is firmly connected to the printing unit frame.
  • the anilox roller 27 is mounted on an interceptor 6 in the anilox roller bearing block 4.
  • the carriage 9, which runs on the attached to the printing unit frame 2 rail 8 and on which the anilox roller bearing block 4 is supported are moved along the double arrow A.
  • a paint chamber blade 31 is attached to the blade chamber holder 16 in a manner not described in detail.
  • This doctor chamber holder 16 is connected via two bolts 17, which pass through holes in the anilox roller bearing block 4 and hold in two holes of the doctor chamber holder, rotationally and motion-secured connected to the anilox block 4.
  • the anilox block is first moved away from the pressure roller (pressure-off position). Subsequently, after releasing the interceptor 6 from the anilox roller 27, the anilox block 4 must be displaced relative to the anilox roller 27.
  • the doctor chamber holder 16 is to be separated from the anilox roller bearing block 4 by pulling out the two bolts 17. After separation of the anilox block 4 can be moved to the so-called. Release position.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 now show a section of the printing unit according to the invention.
  • the illustration of the anilox roller bearing block 4 with the interceptor bearing and the guide elements has been omitted in FIG. 2 for the sake of clarity.
  • the anilox roller is in the print-off position and the bearing block 4 is in the release position, which allows free access to the anilox roller.
  • a guide rail 18, which is encompassed by a guide carriage 28 visible in FIG. 3, is fastened to the doctoring chamber holder 16. This guide carriage 28 is in turn attached to the anilox roller bearing block 4.
  • the locking pin 19 is displaceable in the guides 21, 22 along the arrow C. In the operating state shown here, the locking pin 19 is fixed on the Arretierbolzenfuß 25 in the Arretierbolzenability 26.
  • a resilient pressure piece 37 is attached to the doctoring chamber holder 16.
  • the ball of the resilient pressure piece 37 acts on an annular groove 40, which is introduced at a corresponding position in the locking pin 19.
  • the resilient pressure piece is not shown for clarity in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • the Arretierbolzenage is firmly connected to the printing unit frame 2.
  • a locking plate 30 is fixed, which has a projection 39.
  • the projection 39 is bevelled on one side.
  • the projection 39 and the bevel are dimensioned so that the projection 39 between the locking pin head 24 and the stop 23 can be locked.
  • a piston-cylinder unit 32 is fixed, the piston 33 protrudes downwards out.
  • On the piston a receptacle 34 and on both sides two rollers 35 are attached.
  • the rollers 35 run in roller guides 36, 38, of which only the roller guide 36 is shown.
  • Figures 5 to 7 show the same section of the printing unit according to the invention, wherein the raster roller block 4 is in the printing position.
  • the anilox block 4 is displaced in the direction of the anilox roller 27, so that the interceptor 6 can comprise the free end of the anilox roller.
  • the anvil roller block also includes the attached to the piston 33 receptacle 34 fixed in the locking pin 19 pin 20.
  • the piston-cylinder unit 32 of the Locking pin are moved upwards and clamps the projection 39 of the locking plate between the stop 23 and the locking pin 24 a.
  • a constant pressurization by the piston-cylinder unit 32 ensures a play-free clamping of the projection 39 due to the bevels of the projection 39 and the cylinder head 38.
