Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pressure adjusting device of a chambered doctor blade system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • doctor blades are known, the task of which is to meter the amount of ink applied to a specific surface by stripping off the excess ink.
  • One possible embodiment is, for example, the ink transfer by means of a roller, for example an anilox roller, which has a multiplicity of small depressions on its surface and whose webs lying therebetween should remain free of color.
  • a doctor blade mounted on a chambered doctor blade which consists of a closed volume, which is limited by different housing parts and in particular by a part of the anilox roller surface and two doctor blades.
  • the first squeegee in the direction of rotation is the closing squeegee, which closes off the volume
  • the second squeegee in the direction of rotation is the working squeegee, which, through contact with the recesses between the recesses, ensures that the part of the color that is not inside the recesses is largely removed from the roll surface.
  • the pressure inside the chambered doctor blade plays a big role. Depending on how this pressure fails, it may happen that an anilox roller adjacent to the chamber doctor blade receives too little or too little pressure, for example if the pressure is too low. If the pressure is too great, deformations of a doctor blade bar can occur too large a gap between the chamber doctor blade and the anilox roll occurs and it can even lead to damage, for example if a doctor blade is bent over too much pressure.
  • the viscosity of the ink is not constant in many cases.
  • the viscosity depends on the one hand on the temperature of the ink and thus on the operating condition and especially on the temperature of a corresponding printing press.
  • the duck color may become thinner at a higher temperature than at a lower temperature.
  • thixotropic printing inks can be used, d. H. Inks whose viscosity decreases with time as long as they experience shear forces, for example by pumping, and whose viscosity increases again from a rest time with time.
  • a low-viscosity printing ink is pumped into a chamber doctor blade, which has a discharge opening, from which the ink is returned to a color supply in accordance with the principle of gravity, then the problem may arise that the Printing ink simply runs out to this opening, so that too low a pressure in the chamber doctor blade is formed and an anilox roller is not evenly colored.
  • a high-viscosity printing ink is pumped into such a chamber doctor blade with a pump which conveys a constant volume per time, then it may happen that, by suitable measures at the opening and at the points relevant for ink transfer to the anilox roller, a suitable pressure prevails, but at the same time, due to the high viscosity and the associated high pressure drop within the chambered doctor blade, a pressure in a supply line and in an area of an inlet opening of the chambered doctor blade assumes too high values, so that damage may occur or in certain areas too much ink is transferred to the anilox roller.
  • control devices which regulate the use of appropriate sensors, the pressure in the chambered doctor blade on the pump power and / or a controllable valve in a derivative.
  • a chambered doctor blade in which an overpressure is generated and from the liquid medium by gravity in a reservoir is traceable, wherein if necessary in a return line, a throttle, preferably a manually or automatically controllable valve for setting a flow rate can be arranged.
  • a throttle preferably a manually or automatically controllable valve for setting a flow rate can be arranged.
  • this valve is connected by circuitry with the machine control.
  • a pressure in the chamber doctor blade can thus be regulated by measuring the pressure and influencing a flow rate in a return line.
  • a device for supplying liquid which has a chamber doctor blade, the chamber doctor blade with a reservoir, a pump and supply and discharge lines forms a closed system, wherein inside the chamber doctor blade there is an overpressure, which is regulated by the fact that a bypass line contains a control check valve.
  • a pump operates at a constant speed and a machine control regulates the pressure in the chambered doctor blade via the regulating non-return valve connected to it.
  • a device which is suitable for pressure adjustment in a chambered doctor blade of a printing machine, wherein the chambered doctor blade at least one ink chamber with at least one connected to an ink supply and at least one, a medium from the ink chamber in the ink supply leading back, derivative and / or Has outlet opening and wherein at least one pressure relief valve in the at least one discharge and / or drain opening is arranged and wherein at least one supply line at least one pressure relief valve is arranged and wherein at least one pressure relief valve is designed as a passive pressure relief valve.
  • a device which is suitable for pressure adjustment in a chambered doctor blade of a printing press, the chambered doctor blade at least one ink chamber with at least one connected to a color supply and at least one supply, a medium from the ink chamber in the ink supply leading back, discharge and / or drain port and wherein at least one valve is arranged in the at least one discharge and / or outflow opening and at least one valve is arranged in at least one supply line, wherein the at least one valve in the at least one supply line is arranged in connection with a bypass line and in that Bypass line is arranged to effect a return of the medium in the ink supply.
  • the DE 102 25 681 A1 and the EP 0 780 228 A1 each is a device known, which is suitable for pressure adjustment in a chamber blade of a printing press, wherein the chambered scraper has at least one ink chamber with at least one connected to a color supply and at least one supply, a medium from the ink chamber in the ink supply leading back, discharge and / or drain port and wherein at least one valve is arranged in the at least one discharge and / or outflow opening, wherein at least one valve in the at least one supply line with a bypass line is arranged in connection and wherein the bypass line is arranged to effect a return of the medium in the ink supply.

  • the invention has for its object to provide a Druckeinstellvortechnisch a chambered doctor blade system.
  • the achievable with the present invention consist in particular that both high and too low pressures in the interior of the chambered doctor blade and associated lines are avoided by a secure adjustment of the pressure in the interior of the chambered doctor blade.
  • This takes place in different phases or operating states of the corresponding printing press by ensuring compliance with the appropriate pressure conditions both in the case of highly viscous and in the case of low-viscosity ink.
  • a transfer of ink to the anilox roller is optimized and pressure-related damage and / or Quality reductions are avoided or at least significantly reduced.
  • the setting of a pressure which is within a certain range also significantly increases the service life of doctor blades used, since the friction between the doctor blade and the roller and between the doctor blade and the viscous ink is influenced by the pressure inside the chamber doctor blade.
  • a pressure in the chambered doctor blade is thus directly influenced and not indirectly via at least one intermediate step, for example a conversion of a measured pressure into a required valve position with subsequent verification of the resulting pressure.
  • This saves effort and costs and enables active, possibly vulnerable control and / or Control units are not necessary.
  • pressure relief valves are arranged, preferably at least two, one of which defines an upper pressure limit and a lower pressure limit.
  • a pressure sensor can still measure the actual pressure in the interior of the chambered doctor blade and, if necessary, forward a corresponding signal for further processing.
  • a further advantage is that the pressure adjustment device provides with simple means and in different operating states for a pressure inside the chamber doctor blade, which is within a desired range at all relevant times, in particular during an entire printing operation and independent of a current viscosity of the ink. so that the above-described difficulties or damage can be avoided and yet an equipment cost is kept low.
  • bypass line printing ink which is conveyed from the ink supply in the direction of the ink chamber, at the ink chamber can be carried over and back into the ink supply, whereby, for example, a pump can run regardless of the currently prevailing pressure and just existing viscosity and at a constant speed or flow rate and requires no regulation.
  • Another advantage is that, for example, in a collecting container at least one stirring device is arranged, which ensures a lower fluctuation viscosity of a thixotropic printing ink, for example, in an interruption of a printing process by the ink can be kept in motion with the stirring device.
  • the at least one valve can be arranged in and / or on a supply line and that the arrangement of the at least one valve can thus be adapted to flow and / or pressure conditions.
  • an arrangement on a supply line, in particular in a supply branch can keep a flow path in the supply line as uniform as possible, while an arrangement directly in the supply line can provide for possibly desired turbulence, for example for influencing the viscosity of the printing ink.
  • the wear of the doctor blades can be further reduced.
  • the wear is less than if no coating were present or the coating was only on the work surface or the coating only on the side facing away from the ink of the doctor blade or on the in the direction of rotation adjacent roller rear side or, especially in the case of a chamber doctor blade, would be applied to the chamber interior side facing away from the doctor blade.
  • the application of the low-wear coating on the front side in the direction of rotation of the adjacent roller takes into account the fact that the adhesion of this coating to the doctor body material is not always optimal.
  • the coating is pressed by the forces due to the rotation of the adjacent roller against the squeegee body material, while when applied to the rear in the direction of rotation of the adjacent roller surface of the doctor blade, the effective forces pull the coating material away from the doctor blade body and thus a chipping and promote the wear more.
