Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing plate cylinder of a flexographic printing machine according to claim 1.
  • Printing plate cylinders are often composed of different cylindrical elements.
  • a rotatably hinged to the machine frame base mandrel forms the core of such a printing plate cylinder. It is clear that this mandrel is applied to changing jobs with different printing sleeves, which carry different print images. For this purpose, the pressure sleeve is pulled over the base mandrel.
  • this sleeve is an adapter sleeve
  • at least one further sleeve - namely at least the pressure sleeve - must be applied to this sleeve in a fixed angular position to the adapter sleeve and thus to the base mandrel.
  • the adapter sleeve then again has a register pin, which projects beyond its outer circumference and engages in a recess provided for this purpose of the further sleeve when this has reached its desired position.
  • This form of Vorregisterung has long been known and well-established both in so-called direct-drive printing machines, where each plate cylinder has its own drive, as well as in machines where there are geared connections between different cylinders.
  • cylinder core in the sense of this document also includes a base mandrel which has already been subjected to one or more sleeves.
  • a male register element will often be in the form of a pin or other protrusion which projects beyond the outer circumference of the cylinder core or the inner circumference of another sleeve.
  • a female register element is able to enter into an operative connection - according to the invention a positive connection - with the male register element.
  • EP 1 155 838 A2 also describes a printing form cylinder of an offset printing press.
  • the printing form cylinder has a gap 20 in the axial direction, in which one or more printing plates are clamped.
  • the object of the invention is to reduce the above-mentioned damage according to the prior art in a printing plate cylinder of a flexographic printing press.
  • At least one of the two register elements is articulated movably on the respective element to be adjusted.
  • the movable register element is articulated movably in the axial direction z of the printing plate cylinder.
  • the movable register element is articulated movably in the circumferential direction ⁇ of the printing plate cylinder.
  • the movable register element is retractable in the peripheral surface of the printing plate cylinder.
  • the movable register element is the male register element, which is in operative connection with a spring element which provides a restoring force, which moves the register element into the opening of the sleeve provided, if this (sleeve) in their Target position is located on the printing plate cylinder.
  • the register element is a spring element.
  • the cylinder core has a stop which has a larger stop surface with the sleeve than the male register element.
  • the stop surrounds the circumference of the cylinder core.
  • Fig. 1 shows a printing plate cylinder 1, which is being prepared.
  • an adapter sleeve 2 is pushed onto the cylinder mandrel 3 in the axial direction z of the printing plate cylinder.
  • the pressure sleeve 4 on which the cliché 5 is mounted. It is a flexographic printing cylinder.
  • FIG. 1a It can be seen that the angular position between the male register element, here the pin 6, and the female register element, here the recess 7, has been set correctly.
  • the adapter sleeve 2 reaches the position in the FIGS. 3a and 3b is shown.
  • the male adapter element, the register pin 6, in the female register element, the recess 7, reach into and thus determine the angular position of the cylinder core 3 to the adapter sleeve 2.
  • the adapter sleeve 2 has been moved against the stop 8. In this way, the axial movement of the sleeve 2 is terminated.
  • FIG. 1b The Figures 1b, 2a, 2b . 3a and 3b show the same embodiment of a printing plate cylinder according to the invention as the FIG. 1a , However, in FIG. 1b the initial position of the setup process different than in FIG. 1a , In FIG. 1b the angular position of the recess 7 relative to the register pin 6 is different. For illustrative reasons, these two elements were shown rotated by 180 °. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that smaller angle deviations will occur in practice, however, already leading to damage in prior art printing plate cylinders. Despite the rotation of the adapter sleeve 2 relative to the cylinder core 3, the adapter sleeve 2 is moved against the stop 8.
  • the register pin 6 is pressed down by the edge of the adapter sleeve 2.
  • a spring element 9 is tensioned.
  • the resulting situation is in the FIGS. 2a and 2b shown.
  • the adapter sleeve 2 has reached the stop 8, the male register element 6 is depressed, the female register element is still displaced by 180 ° relative to the male register element 6. Therefore, the adapter sleeve 2 is displaced in the circumferential direction ⁇ until in the FIGS. 3a and 3b situation occurs.
  • the adapter sleeve 7 has been rotated until the recess 7 arrives at the adapter pin 6, so that an operative connection can occur between these two elements. This is brought about in this case by the spring 9 by these 9 presses the register pin 6 in the recess 7.
  • the setup process as far as the adapter sleeve and the cylinder core, ended.
  • FIG. 4 another embodiment of a printing plate cylinder according to the invention is shown.
  • the male register element 10 does not have the shape of a pin, but the entire male register element is a spring plate 10, which in FIG. 4 just flattened by the edge of the adapter sleeve 2.
  • this embodiment of a printing plate cylinder according to the invention has an adapter sleeve 2 with a recess 7. This recess 7 also serves as a female register element.
  • the adapter sleeve has already reached its axial end position on the stop 8. Then she becomes in her circumferential direction rotated relative to the mandrel until the recess 7 reaches the register element 10 and this jumps over the peripheral surface of the cylinder core by its spring force and engages in the recess 7, wherein the angular position of the adapter sleeve 9 is fixed relative to the cylinder core 3.
  • register elements are conceivable, which are displaceable only in the axial direction.
  • stamp out only the female register elements in any way.
  • the stops can be represented differently than in the present embodiments. So it is possible, for example, to introduce pins in the cylinder core, which take over the function of the stop. It is advantageous here to design the stop surface of these pins larger than that of the previously used register pins in order to make the pressure effect, which occurs in the collision of the adapter with these pins, less than the collision pressure that has been incurred in the collisions with the register pins.
  • the adjustment of the angular position of the cylinder core and the adapter sleeve to each other can of course also be made by the cylinder core is rotated relative to the adapter sleeve. This is easily possible, since just the cylinder core is designed to be rotatable in rotary printing machines.
  • the attachment of the male register element to the adapter or a further sleeve and the female register element on the cylinder core is advantageous in certain applications. Especially limited are the representations made in the present drawings of the invention in relation to the cylinder core and the adapter sleeve. It has already been mentioned in the introductory description that the term cylinder core can already be understood as meaning a unit comprising a base mandrel and an adapter sleeve.
  • the outer peripheral surface of the adapter sleeve would be provided with a further register element.
  • the next sleeve, which is pulled over the adapter sleeve, would then have the counterpart to this register element and would be designed in the manner according to the invention.
