Definitions

  • the invention relates to a printing or inking unit according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for changing at least parts of a color transfer cylinder according to the preamble of claim 10.
  • Printing or inking units comprise one or more ink transfer cylinders, for example, carries the printed image to be printed on the substrate. This can be adjusted directly against a counter-pressure cylinder over which the printing material is guided.
  • This counter-pressure cylinder can be a common counter-pressure cylinder for all inking units, each inking unit being used for one printing ink each. But it can also be assigned to each inking a separate impression cylinder. In this case we speak of a printing unit.
  • a color transfer cylinder can also be any other cylinder which is arranged between the ink reservoir and the printing material.
  • a said ink transfer cylinder is usually taken with each of its ends, which are outside the printing area and are often referred to as a pin, each in a bearing block. Relative to these bearing blocks of the ink transfer cylinder is arranged immovably in the printing operation in its radial direction.
  • a positioning system is provided in said printing or inking units, with which the bearing blocks relative to Counter-pressure cylinders are movable.
  • the bearing blocks for this purpose carry carriages, which are movable on rails that can be attached to consoles of printing or printing press frame.
  • a suitable traversing device for example a motor-driven or hand-driven spindle-spindle nut combination, can be provided for this purpose.
  • At least one bearing block comprises a locking device with which one end of the ink transfer cylinder can be locked rotatably but immovably in the radial direction on the bearing block.
  • a disadvantage is that the bearing block using the positioning in the radial direction of the ink transfer roller must be moved comparatively far to create the space described. This is very cumbersome and time-consuming, especially in manually operated positioning systems.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a printing or inking unit, which allows a quick change of at least parts of ink transfer rollers.
  • a printing or inking unit which in addition to the features of the preamble of claim 1 also includes the characterizing features of claim 1.
  • At least a part of at least one bearing block is pivotally mounted about an axis which extends parallel to a line which extends in the radial direction of the ink transfer cylinder.
  • a bearing block can be divided into two parts, wherein the two parts are connected to each other in the manner of a hinge.
  • the said axis about which the part of the bearing block can be folded runs parallel to the direction of displacement of the positioning.
  • the axis can run parallel to the guide rails on which the bearing block can be slidably mounted.
  • the hinged part of the bearing block is in its folded state directly in front of the parts of the machine frame, which carry the guide rail (s), and thus disturbs the least when changing the sleeves.
  • both bearing blocks are configured in the aforementioned type, ie, in both bearing blocks each have an axis is provided, about which parts of the bearing blocks are pivotable and which extend in the radial direction of the ink transfer cylinder.
  • the ink transfer roller pierces the respective bearing block and that at this end a force introduction device engages, with which a force can be applied to this end for pivoting the ink transfer roller.
  • this force introduction device the end of the ink transfer roller, for example, in the vertical direction can be pulled down, wherein the ink transfer roller is supported on the bearing block, which is pierced by the end. If this bearing block with one of its parts can now be pivoted according to the invention about an axis, then this part can tilt slightly, so that overall the free end of the ink transfer roller can be raised.
  • the ink transfer roller comprises a pressure sleeve whose circumference is so great that it could not be changed without the described measure because of the way in the way printing press frame.
  • a bearing device which is rotatable relative to this end, but axially immovable.
  • the bearing device ensures that the force introduction device does not disturb the rotation of the ink transfer roller during operation.
  • the force introduction device and the end of the ink transfer roller are decoupled from each other, so that the ink transfer roller is also completely removable from the inking unit.
  • a suitable coupling is provided which can be arranged between the bearing device and the pin of the ink transfer roller or between the bearing device and the force introduction device.
  • the force introduction device is displaceable relative to the impression cylinder via a guide system.
  • the force introduction device and the end of the ink transfer roller are permanently coupled together, the force introduction device should be mounted displaceably with the bearing block.
  • a guide system is provided which guides the force introduction device during the adjustment movement of the bearing block against the impression cylinder. This configuration allows the operator to change parts of the ink transfer cylinder, such as a sleeve, without first having to couple the force introduction means to the end of the ink transfer roller at the opposite end of the ink transfer roller.
  • Fig. 1 shows a printing machine 1, in which an inventive printing unit 2 is installed.
  • the printing machine shown is a flexographic printing machine, as used for printing on paper webs. From these paper webs are then formed, often "inline", hoses, which are separated into pieces of hose. From such pieces of tubing bags are often made, which are needed for the packaging of bulk material, for example for the construction industry.
  • the present invention is not limited to printing or inking units in flexographic printing machines. However, it is advantageously used here, since often color transfer rollers different Printing length and thus different roll diameter can be used.
  • all printing units 2 are mounted in a machine frame, which comprises the side frames 3, 3 'and brackets 4, 4', of which in the Fig. 1 only each of the front parts can be seen.
  • the printing units can also be stored in different, independent racks.

  • the in the Fig. 1 The arrangement shown is typical of an embodiment of modern flexographic printing machines.
  • a Farbschakel 8 is adjustable, which serves as a color reservoir.
  • the pressure roller 6 is rotatably mounted in a bearing block 9. In the radial direction of the pressure roller this is not movable relative to the bearing block.
  • the bearing block 9 and thus the pressure roller 6 are movable relative to the impression cylinder 5.
  • a positioning system is provided, which is constructed as follows:
  • the bearing block 9 is arranged on a carriage 10 which is displaceable along arranged on the console 4, 4 'guide rails 11.
  • the carriage 10 comprises an attachment piece 12 in or on which a spindle nut is arranged.
  • a threaded spindle 13 is screwed, the rotatable about a spindle bearing 14, but immovably to the console 4 or 4 'and thus with the or the counter-pressure cylinder 5 overlapping side frame 3 or 3' is connected.
  • the threaded spindle 13 is rotated, for example, via a not-shown handwheel, then moves the carriage 10 and thus the bearing block 9 together with the pressure roller 6 relative to the impression cylinder 5.
  • the pressure roller 6 with this positioning system for the actual printing to the impression cylinder. 5 be hired, and the pressure roller 6 can be freed to this or at least be able to change parts of it.
  • the positioning system for the pressure roller 6 shown is merely an example, many other embodiments may be part of a printing and inking unit 2 according to the invention.
  • Each anilox roller 7 is also mounted with their ends in a respective bearing block 15, which are connected to carriage 16.
  • the carriage 16 run on guide rails 17, which are arranged in the embodiment shown on the carriage 10 for the pressure roller 6.
  • a spindle bearing 17 is fixed, in which a threaded spindle 18 is rotatably mounted, but relative to the carriage 16 immovable.
  • the threaded spindle 16 is screwed into a spindle nut arranged in or on the attachment piece 12, so that rotation of the threaded spindle 16 enables positioning of the anilox roller 7 relative to the pressure roller 6.
  • the illustrated and just described positioning system for the anilox roller 7 is just one example of such a system.
  • the pressure roller 6 may be provided with a printing forme, referred to as cliché in flexographic printing.
  • the printing form transfers the printing ink, which it has received from the anilox roller 7, in format to the printing material web 19 guided over the impression cylinder 5.
  • the anilox roller takes the ink from the ink chamber doctor blade 8. In order to provide the printing roller 6 in the fastest possible way with another printing plate 6, it must be removed from the printing or inking unit 2 or the sleeve 35 carrying the printing form must be removed from the mandrel.
  • the bearing block 9 must be removed correspondingly from the operator-side end (pin 20) of the pressure roller 6.
  • FIG. 2 shown the view of the section II - II from the FIG. 1 shows.
  • the bearing block 9 itself comprises various components.
  • An upper bearing shell 21 is removable from the lower bearing shell 22, as shown in the FIG. 3 is shown.
  • both bearing shells 21, 22 are connected to each other via a hinge 23.
  • the upper bearing shell 21 can in its closed position can be pressed by the handwheel 24 to the lower bearing shell 22.
  • the pin 20 of the pressure roller carries, for example, a needle bearing 25 which is inserted into the lower bearing shell 22.
  • the needle bearing 25 can now be locked by means of the upper bearing shell 21 and the handwheel 24 on the bearing block 9.
  • the bearing shells 21, 22, the joint 23 and the hand wheel 24 can thus be referred to as a locking device for the pin 20.
  • the bearing block 9 ' is constructed accordingly, so that the pressure roller 6 can be completely removed from the printing unit 2.
  • the lower bearing shell 22 is not directly connected to the carriage 10, but via an intermediate block 26, wherein bearing shell 22 and intermediate block 26 are hinged together.
  • the bearing shell 22 and the intermediate block 26 have mutually aligned bores in which a pin 27 is inserted, which defines a rotation axis 28 about which the bearing shell 22 is rotatable.
  • An essential idea of the present invention is that the axis of rotation 28 runs parallel to the guide rail 11. In this way, the bearing shell 22 of the bearing block 9 can be folded down, as in the FIG. 2 is shown.
  • the pressure roller 6 is now held only one end in the printing unit.
  • a force introduction device which introduces a holding force into the second end (pin 29) of the pressure roller 6 and thus provides for the torque required to hold the roller.
  • This force introduction device comprises a pivot bearing 30, which is mounted on the pin 29 and to which a support rod 31 engages. The support rod is connected via the arrangement described below with the console 4 '.
  • the support rod 31 is pivotally connected to the pivot bearing 30.
  • the Retaining rod 31 by means of a drive displaced.
  • This drive may be a piston-cylinder unit 32, to whose piston rod the holding rod 31 is fastened or whose piston rod constitutes the holding rod 31.
