Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a printing unit for a web printing press.
  • a printing press comprises a plurality of printing units through which is fed the web material to be printed, which may be paper, cardboard, self-adhesive paper, plastic, or a composite laminate web.
  • Each printing unit serves to apply a colour to the web material, and substantially comprises a set of three rollers between which is fed the web material (henceforth also called film for brevity's sake), onto which the colour is transferred.
  • This set of three rollers comprises in particular an inking roller or anilox roll, which has on its outer surface a plurality of cells to retain the ink.
  • the anilox roll collects the ink from a rubber roller that dips into a special pan or directly from a container, called “enclosed doctor blade” adapted to fill the cells of the anilox roll and transfers the ink to a plate cylinder, which in turn applies it to a film that is fed between said plate cylinder and a large-sized impression cylinder or drum.
  • the above mentioned three rollers of the printing unit have their axes parallel to each other and generally horizontal.
  • the impression cylinder belongs to the fixed structure of the machine, in that it does not require replacement or changes in position and it is normally common to the various printing units, which are disposed along its circumference, whereas the anilox roll and the plate cylinder are subject to frequent replacement or changes in position; for this reason they are mounted on supports sliding on the frame of the press and driven by means of screws mounted and anchored in the side parts of the frame of the press.
  • the replacement of the plate cylinder is required each time the format is changed, that is when a change in the length of the outer surface of the cylinder, and therefore a change in diameter, is required.
  • the changing of the sleeves of the plate cylinder and of the anilox roll is long and complex.
  • such a sleeve change takes place in two steps. In the first step the operator must release the end of the cylinder mandrel from its support. In the second step the operator must move the support to create sufficient space to change the sleeve.
  • Both these steps are complex.
  • the operator in the first step the operator must work in a tight space because of the presence of the support.
  • the operator In the second step the operator has difficulty in moving the support, in that the drive screw threads in the support and thus the movement of the support is tied to the operation of the drive screw.
  • Object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a printing unit that is practical, versatile and able to ensure a rapid and easy changing of the sleeves of the anilox rolls and of the plate cylinders.
  • one object of the invention is to release the support of the plate cylinder and of the anilox roll both from the mandrel and from the drive screw to ensure a rapid sleeve changing.
  • the printing unit for a web printing press comprises:
  • the printing unit according to the invention further comprises at least one handle mounted in at least one of said supports and which can be operated by the operator so as to uncouple said support both from the end of the mandrel of said plate cylinder or of said anilox roll and from said drive screw.
  • the operator by means of said handle, can move the relative support in translation, without it interfering with the mandrel of the plate cylinder or of the anilox roll or with the drive screw of the support, so as to leave a sufficient space for changing the sleeve.
  • the printing unit according to the invention designated as a whole with the reference numeral 100, is described with the aid of the figures. Many parts shown in Figures 1-3 , although shown singly, are to be understood as pairs disposed symmetrically on the two opposite sides of the press.
  • the printing unit 100 comprises a first pair of supports 1 adapted to support a plate cylinder 2 and a second pair of supports 3 adapted to support an anilox roll or inking roller 4 provided with a plurality of cells on its outer surface.
  • the supports 1 and 3 are mounted on recirculating ball or roller carriages, in turn mounted slidingly on linear guides 5 arranged horizontally, in the longitudinal direction of the press.
  • the carriages are mounted integrally with the respective supports (1, 3) and the guides 5 are mounted integrally with the sides 50 of the press frame.
  • a container called "enclosed doctor blade” (not shown), designed to be filled with paint or with ink and adapted to fill the cells engraved on the anilox roll 4 with paint or with ink, is mounted on the anilox roll 4.
  • the anilox roll 4 transfers the ink to the plate cylinder 2, which is pressed against a large-sized impression cylinder or drum 7, which is generally motorised.
  • the film of web material (not shown), running on the drum 7, passes in the gap between the drum 7 and the plate cylinder 2 which is responsible for the transferring of the image.
  • the supports (1, 3) of the plate cylinder and of the anilox roll are driven by means of respective ball screws 6 driven in translation by respective female screws 60 mounted rotatably in the side 50 of the press.
  • the female screws 60 are made to turn by means of electric motors 66, possibly through a belt transmission.
  • the screws 6 are disposed longitudinally between the two guides 5.
  • the side 50 of the press has an opening 51 through which the screws 6 pass.
  • the opening 51 is sufficiently large to allow the removal and/or the insertion of the sleeve of the plate cylinder 2 or of the anilox roll 4 during the changing of the sleeve.
  • a handle 8 which protrudes on the operator side so as to be able to be gripped by an operator, is mounted on each support (1, 3).
  • the handle 8 is adapted to uncouple the respective support (1, 3) both from the drive screw 6 and from the respective plate cylinder 2 or anilox roll 4.
  • a locking/unlocking device 9 that can be operated by the operator is also mounted on each support (1, 3) to lock the handle 8 during the operation of the press and to unlock the handle 8 for changing the sleeve.
  • Figure 7 shows a sectional view, taken along a horizontal plane of section at the level of the axis of the plate cylinder 2, illustrating one of the two supports 1 of the plate cylinder, that is to say the support 1 disposed on the operator side.
  • the support 3 of the anilox roll disposed on the operator side has a substantially similar structure.
  • the support 1 has a transverse through hole 10 designed to accommodate the end 20 of a mandrel 21 that supports the sleeve 22 of the plate cylinder.
  • the support 1 has a cylindrical tang 11 which protrudes rearward, that is towards the inside of the machine.
  • the tang 11 has a side opening 12 adapted to allow the passage of the end 20 of the mandrel.
  • a longitudinal hole 13 communicating with the transverse hole 10 is formed in the support 1.
  • the longitudinal hole 13 has a smaller diameter than the transverse hole 10 and is adapted to slidingly accommodate the drive screw 6.
  • the longitudinal hole 13 is situated near the rear surface of the support 1.
  • a second transverse hole 14 which opens in the front surface of the support 1 and which communicates with the longitudinal hole 13 is formed in the support 1.
  • the second transverse hole 14 has a smaller diameter than the longitudinal hole 13 and is disposed at a certain distance from the first longitudinal hole 10.
  • the second transverse hole 14 has a tapered end 15 communicating with the longitudinal hole 13.
  • the drive screw 6 has at its end a cylindrical block 61, secured by means of an axial bolt 62.
  • the cylindrical block 61 has radially a tapered hole 63 with a taper that is the exact continuation of the tapered part 15 of the second transverse hole 14.
  • a sleeve 68 which provides an abutment surface against the support 1, so as to act as a stop, is mounted on the screw 6.
  • the handle 8 comprises a plate 80 from which protrudes forward a U-shaped handgrip 81, adapted to be gripped by a hand of the operator.
  • a first tang 82 and a second tang 83 protrude rearward from the two ends of the plate 80.
  • the first tang 82 carries at its end a sleeve 84, which has a circular seat 85 within which the end 20 of the plate cylinder mandrel can rotate. Ball or roller bearings are disposed in the seat 85 of the sleeve to facilitate the rotation of the end 20 of the mandrel.
  • the sleeve 84 of the handle has such a diameter as to be able to be inserted into the first transverse hole 10 of the support 1.
  • the second tang 83 of the handle has a tapered end 86 adapted to couple, in a conical coupling relationship, with the tapered holes 15 and 63 formed respectively in the second transverse hole 14 of the support 1 and in the end block 61 of the drive screw 6.
  • a locking appendage 87 disposed in a central position between the two tangs 82 and 83, protrudes rearward from the plate 80 of the handle.
  • the locking appendage 87 is in the form of a plate, bent in an L-shape, which has at its end a U-shaped opening 88.
  • the locking/unlocking device 9 comprises a lever 90 that can be operated by the operator.
  • the lever 90 has an end flange supporting a bolt 91 slidable in a vertical groove 92 formed in a block 93 integral with the front surface of the support 1.
  • the block 93 is disposed between the two holes (10, 14) of the support that accommodate the two tangs (82, 83) of the handle. In this manner, when the two tangs (82, 83) of the handle are disposed in the two holes (10, 14) of the support, the bolt 91 engages in the opening 88 of the locking appendage 87 of the handle, locking the handle 8 integrally to the support 1.
  • the handles 8 are initially locked integrally to the respective supports 1 and 3 of the plate cylinder 2 and of the anilox roll 4.
  • the levers 90 of the locking/unlocking devices 9 are disposed so that the bolt 91 engages in the opening 88 of the locking appendage of the handles 8 of the supports 1 and 3 of the plate cylinder and of the anilox roll. In this situation the levers 90 are inclined with respect to a vertical direction.
  • the ends 20 of the mandrels of the plate cylinder and of the anilox roll are engaged inside the respective sleeves 84 of the handles, so as to rotatably support the mandrels.
  • the truncated conical ends 86 of the tangs of the handles are engaged in the tapered holes 63 of the ends of the respective drive screws 6 so as to make the supports (1, 3) integral with the drive screws 6.
  • the plate cylinder 2 is in contact with the drum 7 and the anilox roll 4 is in contact with the plate cylinder 2.
  • the operator can move the support 1 towards the left (in the direction of the arrow F4 in Figure 6A ) by means of the handle 8, freeing the space for the replacement of the sleeve 22 of the plate cylinder.
  • the end 20 of the mandrel does not interfere with the tang 11 of the support 1, in that it passes through the opening 12 of the tang 11.
  • the screw 6 does not interfere with the support 1, in that the cylinder block 61 at the end of the screw slides freely in the longitudinal hole 13 of the support 1.
  • the support 1 is supported slidingly on the linear guides 5 of the side of the press.
  • the support 1 comes to abut against the stop sleeve 68 mounted on the screw 6, enough space is left for the extraction of the sleeve 22 and for the replacement thereof with another sleeve of a different format.
  • the operator pushes the support 1 towards the right, until the end 20 of the mandrel re-enters the hole 10 of the tang 11 of the support.
  • the truncated conical hole 63 of the end block of the screw 6 is in register with the hole 14 of the support 1.
  • the operator pushes the handle 8 towards the support 1.
  • the end 20 of the mandrel engages in the sleeve 84 of the first tang 82 of the handgrip and the tapered end 86 of the second tang of the handgrip engages in the tapered hole 63 of the end of the screw.
  • the operator operates the locking lever 90, so that the handle 8 is locked firmly to the support 1.
  • Figures 4-9 show an embodiment relating to the changing of the sleeve of the plate unit, it is obvious that the sleeve changing on the anilox unit takes place in the same manner; in fact the support 3 of the anilox unit is made in substantially the same way as the support 1 of the plate unit.
