Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device and a method for applying a decoration by means of a pressure roller on a plate element, preferably for the production of floor, wall or ceiling panels and a pressure roller.
  • Panels are used to make wall, ceiling or floor coverings. Frequently, the panels are made using decor papers as a decorating element. For the reproduction of a wood head the decorative papers are printed with a wood grain. Other natural or fantasy decors are common.
  • the DE 10 2006 001 155 A1 describes a paper tape for use as decorative paper of wall, ceiling or floor panels, which is printed on one side with a wood grain.
  • the circumference of a pressure roller is usually about 1.30 m with a width of about 2.10 m.
  • the scope is matched to the length of a conventional laminate panel, the length of which is usually just under 1.30 m.
  • the printed décor is produced with a recurring repeat.
  • the pattern on the panel element is repeated. This creates an unnatural, at least less beautiful, look. To prevent this, one could increase the diameter of the pressure roller. However, this is not arbitrary and also associated with a high investment and procedural effort.
  • the US 707 540 A discloses a device for applying a decoration by means of a pressure roller on a paper web, wherein the lateral surface of the pressure roller has a decorating structure of Arabic numerals, which are applied in the form of a winding helically on the lateral surface of the pressure roller.
  • the paper web to be printed is guided between a printing cylinder and the pressure roller, wherein the paper web is arranged with respect to its longitudinal axis at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the pressure roller.
  • a floor panel which is made of a rectangular panel element.
  • the panel element has a length greater than or equal to 2.05 m and has a decorative side with a printed technically applied decor.
  • the decor is either printed on paper or placed directly on the panel element.
  • the decor includes a background as well as a foreground.
  • the background and the foreground are successively printed on the panel element.
  • the background printed directly on the panel element has a recurring pattern which, as a result of variation of the foreground printed on the background, has the decor with no repeating repeat.
  • the invention is based on the object to show a compact construction and application technology advantageous pressure roller whose printable decor is longer than the simple circumference of the pressure roller. Furthermore, the invention aims at a method by which a printing job of the decoration of such a pressure roller on a panel element with a length of more than 1.30 m is possible without the pattern of the decoration is repeated in the longitudinal extension of the panel element according to the invention decorating structure in the form of a winding helically applied to the lateral surface of the pressure roller. Furthermore, a conveyor belt can be provided, wherein the panel elements can be guided lying obliquely on the conveyor belt under the pressure roller. As a result, the panel elements can be guided along the pressure roller with respect to their longitudinal axis in a passage angle deviating from the right angle to the longitudinal axis of the pressure roller. The passage angle corresponds to the pitch angle of the winding.
  • the decorating structure corresponds to the development of the decoration of a plate element.
  • the length of the decoration is helically wound around the jacket of the pressure roller in the manner of a helix, with a constant pitch. This can be done left or right.
  • a long decoration with a length of more than 1.30 m can be imaged on a pressure roller without the diameter of the pressure roller enlarge.
  • a panel element with a length of about 5.30 m can be printed without the pattern of the decor repeating in the longitudinal extension of the panel element.
  • a printing without recurring repeat of panel elements with a length up to 6,50 m is possible. These may have a width of, for example, 100-400 mm.
  • the abutting on the lateral surface abutting areas of the winding are optically matched.
  • the area is thus blurred or blurred to mask inaccuracies and compensate for tolerances.
  • the printing of the panel element can be effected directly by direct contact of the pressure roller with the panel element.
  • indirect printing is also particularly advantageous.
  • an application roller is provided, which interacts with the pressure roller and transfers the decoration to the panel element.
  • the decor or the ink is in this case first transferred from the pressure roller on the applicator roll and applied by this on the panel element.
  • both a single-color printing and a multi-color printing is possible.
  • multi-color printing several printing units are arranged in the longitudinal direction of a conveying direction for the panel elements, with pressure rollers and indirect pressure and application rollers and appropriately designed counter-rollers.
  • all known carrier materials such as plastics, gypsum, magnesium, composite materials, such as wood-plastic composite materials
  • WPC panel elements
  • the panel elements are high density (HDF) or medium density (MDF) fiberboard.
  • multiplex panels such as plywood panels can be printed according to the invention.
  • the application or printing of veneered panels is possible, for example, for finishing a simple veneer appearance, but also for example of wood surfaces, elasticized rubber surfaces or cork surfaces.
  • the panel elements are guided along the pressure roller with a passage angle deviating from the right angle to the longitudinal axis of the pressure roller.
  • the passage angle corresponds to the pitch angle of the turn of the decorating structure.
  • the order of the decor on the panel elements by means of indirect gravure printing, in which the ink is applied to the platen and transferred from this first on an applicator roll and printed by the applicator roll on the panel element (claim 2).
  • the pressure roller according to the invention is subject matter of claim 3.
  • the pressure roller has a lateral surface with a decorating structure, which is applied in the form of a turn helically on the lateral surface of the pressure roller, in particular by means of an engraving.
  • the contiguous abutting regions of the winding are optically matched to one another and so softened that optically no
  • the panel elements are preferably used for the production of floor, wall or ceiling panels. These are provided on the edge with tongue and groove or with click locking elements.
  • the marginal processing of the panel elements can be done before or after printing.
  • the panel elements or the flooring, wall or ceiling panels produced therefrom can have a longitudinal chamfer. If the chamfer is made before printing, the chamfer can be imprinted with the appropriate setting of the roller and coordination of the contact pressure on the pressure roller.
  • a corresponding floor, wall or ceiling panel may consist of a panel element with a length greater than or equal to 2.05 m and have a top-side decor, which is applied directly to the panel element without repeating repeat.
  • the panels can be up to 6.50 m long, possibly even longer, depending on the diameter and width of the pressure roller, the panels having widths of 100-400 mm.
  • an upper wear layer of an abrasion-resistant, transparent lacquer is provided, which is preferably cured by means of UV light or electron beam curing.
  • the panels convince with their quality, brilliance and high quality optics.
  • the look is especially noticeable in floor-length floorboards.
  • FIG. 1 shows a simplified technical device for printing technology applying a decor D on panel elements 1 by means of a pressure roller 2 (see also FIG. 3 ).
  • the panel elements 1 are used in particular for the production of floor, wall or ceiling panels.
  • the lateral surface 3 of the pressure roller 2 has an engraving with a decorating structure S.
  • the decorating structure S is transferred from the pressure roller 2 in direct pressure on the panel elements 1.

  • the printing ink and thus the decor D is printed on the surface of the panel elements 1 in accordance with the decorating structure S.
  • P the direction of rotation of the pressure roller 2 is marked
  • the decorating structure S corresponds to the development of the decoration D of a panel element 1 and is applied in the form of a winding W helically on the lateral surface 3 of the pressure roller 2.
  • the winding W is indicated in dotted lines.
  • the winding W has a constant slope with a pitch angle ⁇ .
  • the winding W has a tuned length of 5.20 m or slightly above it.
  • the adjoining abutting regions 7, 8 of the winding W are optically matched to each other and so softened that optically no transition in
  • Shock region 7, 8 can be seen. As a result, inaccuracies can be concealed and tolerances compensated or larger tolerances are allowed.
  • the panel elements 1 are led obliquely on the conveyor belt 4 under the pressure roller 2.
  • the longitudinal axis L1 of the panel elements 1 is arranged at an angle ⁇ to the longitudinal axis L2 of the pressure roller 2.
