Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dyeing device with an inking roller according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Dyeing devices with an inking roller are known.
  • the inking roller is often part of a printing or inking unit in a printing press.
  • the inking roller serves to apply printing ink to a printing roller or another type of ink transfer roller.
  • the cited documents disclose that the inlet and outlet lines open directly into the doctoring chamber
  • the present invention relates to inking devices, moreover a doctor carrier to which the doctor chamber can be coupled comprises.
  • the supply line and the discharge line lead out of the printing unit, in which case valves are arranged outside the printing unit are to allow or interrupt the flow of ink.
  • An interruption of the flow of the ink is particularly necessary when the ink has to be removed, for example, for replacement of all lines.
  • In the feed lines and drain lines remains in this case color that falls victim to the cleaning of the inking, since it must be washed with detergent.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a dyeing device with which the ink consumption can be reduced.
  • At least one of the valves is arranged on the doctor carrier.
  • the length of the at least one supply line and / or the at least one discharge line can thus be reduced so that the quantity of printing ink which has to be expelled, for example, for cleaning by means of cleaning agent is reduced.
  • the proportion of ink that is lost as a result can be significantly reduced.
  • the valves are more accessible and better maintain, repair or replace.
  • the doctor carrier is movable together with the doctoring chamber relative to the inking roller, so that in this case between the valve and the doctor chamber, for example, a fixed pipe can be provided as a supply line or discharge line, which makes the structure less susceptible to mechanical damage.
  • a connecting line from the supply line in the flow direction of the ink branches off before the valve, which opens in the discharge line in the flow direction behind the valve. It can be performed as practically in a parallel circuit to the doctoring chamber, the ink through the connecting line. If, during operation, the valve in the supply line and the valve in the discharge line are closed, then it is possible to pump the ink from the supply line via said connecting line through the discharge line.
  • the printing ink, which remains behind the valve in the supply line and upstream of the valve in the discharge line, in the flow direction of the printing ink, is minimal due to the arrangement of the valves according to the invention. Sucking over the doctor blade chamber is not possible because air would be sucked in through the vent openings of the doctor chamber, which makes it impossible to pump off parts of the ink.
  • a further valve is advantageously provided in the connecting line, which is arranged on the doctor carrier, in particular fixed there. This allows all mentioned valves to be concentrated in one place on the doctor carrier, which offers design advantages, but also simplifies maintenance. Also, the path length of the connecting line can be kept small in this way.
  • a valve is provided at this point to prevent the flow of ink in the printing operation. However, it may be provided at this point a flow, so that here an adjustable throttle valve may be advantageous.
  • Fig. 1 shows a view of a coloring device according to the prior art.
  • an inking roller designed as an anilox roller 102 can be seen, with which printing ink 103 can be removed from the doctoring chamber 101 and can be applied to a further roller involved in the printing process.
  • this further roller is a format cylinder, which often carries a print motif.
  • This print motif is raised in relation to non-printing areas and is coated with printing ink by the anilox roller 101 so that the printing ink is applied to a printing substrate in a way that is appropriate for the subject.
  • the doctor chamber is supplied via the supply line 110 with ink, which is indicated by the arrow 111.
  • This supply line 110 opens into the Inlet opening 112 of the doctor chamber 102.
  • This inlet opening 112 is arranged centrally in the present embodiment. But it can also be positioned in other places.
  • An anilox roller 102 carries with their wells, which are provided for transporting the ink, often air into the doctor chamber, so that an ink-air mixture is formed in the doctor chamber, which should be removed. For this reason, at least one drain line 113, which begins at the drain opening 114 of the doctor chamber 102.
  • two drain openings 114 and two drain lines 113 are provided, the latter preferably being combined in a T-piece 115 to form a line 116.
  • Both the supply line 110 and the drain line 113 or 116 lead to a box 120, in which pumps, valves, branch elements and other elements are arranged, which are explained in more detail below.
  • the box 120 is shown with a broken line.
  • the supply line 110 begins in a paint bucket 121, which forms a reservoir for the printing ink 103.
  • the ink 103 is thereby set in motion by means of the pump 122 so that it can reach the doctor chamber 102.
  • a pump 123 is provided in the discharge line 116, which ensures that the ink 103 and the ink-air mixture again comes back into the paint bucket.
  • a valve 130 is provided on the pressure side of the pump 122 in the supply line 110.
  • a valve 131 is provided in the drain line 116. With these valves 130, 131, the supply line 110 and the discharge line 116 can be interrupted.
  • a branch 140 is provided, at which a bypass line 141 branches off from the supply line 110.
  • This bypass line opens into the outlet 142 in the discharge line 116 behind the valve 131, also seen in the flow direction of the ink.
  • a valve 143 is provided, with which the bypass line can be interrupted.
  • the Valves 130 and 131 are closed and the valve 141 is closed.
  • air can be sucked in via the line 150 so that the supply line 110, the bypass line 141 and the discharge line 116 can be emptied.
  • the doctor chamber 102 can not be emptied in this way, since, among other things via the vent tubes 117 air would be sucked so that ink would remain at least in the supply line 110.
  • FIG. 2 is a view of the anilox roller 102 side facing away.
  • the anilox roller 102 is rotatably mounted in carriages 202 via its pins 201. These carriages 202 rest on sliders 203 which can slide along rails 204 disposed on machine frame portions 205. A position adjustment of the carriage and thus the anilox roller 102 relative to the machine frame can be done with drive means, which are not shown.
  • the doctor carrier 210 to which the doctor chamber 101 can be fastened, is supported on the carriage 202 via attachments 211 and 212, which are still to be explained, but is still movable relative thereto, which also has to be explained.
  • valves 130, 131 and 143 are arranged on the doctor carrier 210, two valves 131 being provided in the discharge line in the present exemplary embodiment.
  • the term "arranged" is understood to mean that the valves 130, 131 and 143 at least relative to the carriage 202, preferably relative to the doctor carrier 210 are immovable.
  • the valves are attached to a carriage.
  • they are attached to the doctor beam 210.
  • the supply line 110 first opens into the branch 140, which is followed by the valve 130, with which the supply of ink to the Doctor chamber 101 is interrupted.
  • the valve 130 is preferably followed by a small pipe piece 220, which ends in a block 221.
  • the block 221 is fixedly connected to the doctor carrier 210 so that it is stationary relative to this.
  • the feed line 110 continues in this block 221 in at least one feedthrough 222, which is shown in FIG FIG. 3 can be seen.
  • the passage 222 terminates in an opening 223, which is enclosed by a circumferential seal 224, which projects beyond the surface of the block 221 facing the doctor chamber 101.
  • the opening 223 and the inlet opening 112 of the doctoring chamber 101 are congruent to each other when the doctoring chamber 101 is arranged and fixed according to the intended positioning on the doctor carrier 210. In this case, the flow of the ink 103 is optimal.
  • the course of the printing ink is carried out by blocks 231 and 241, which are constructed analogously to the block 221 and function similarly. Their feedthroughs 232 and 242 continue in the discharge lines 113 (see FIG. 2 ).
  • the discharge lines open in the embodiment shown in a union piece 250, in which the ink, which is supplied from two discharge lines 113, is directed into the common discharge line 116.
  • a valve 131 may be provided in each discharge line 113. However, this is not mandatory. Likewise, a single valve 131 may be provided in the discharge line 116, which is then arranged according to the invention on the doctor carrier 210 or on a carriage 202.
  • a line 260 leads into the union piece 250 when, in the flow direction of the ink, the union piece 250 is arranged behind the valve 131.
  • the valve 131 is provided in the discharge line 116, the line 140 opens downstream of the valve 131 in the discharge line 116.
  • the valve 143 With the valve 143, the ink flow in the line 140 is interrupted.
  • the valve 143 is preferably arranged on the doctor carrier 210 or on the carriage 202 analogously to the other valves mentioned. In any case, it is provided according to the invention that the valve 143 is also movable relative to the machine frame.
  • FIG. 4 now shows the view IV-IV from the FIG. 2 , With this FIG. 4 Again, the relative movements of anilox roller, blade carrier with doctor blade chamber and machine frame are illustrated.
  • the machine frame part 205 can be seen, which carries the rail 204, on which the slider 203 is displaceable.
  • the displacement corrections are illustrated by the double arrow 401.
  • Mounted on the slider 203 is the carriage 202, which is often referred to as a "bearing block".
  • the pin 201 of the anilox roller 102 is rotatably mounted.
  • the exemplary direction of rotation of the anilox roller is indicated by the arrow 104. Pins of the anilox roller and slide can also be separated from each other to exchange the anilox roller for another, for example, against one with a different diameter. The possibility of separation should not be explained here.
  • the doctor chamber 101 comprises the doctor blades 105, 106, which abut against the anilox roller 102 in the printing operation. They ensure complete filling of the wells of the anilox roller 102 with ink 103.
  • the doctor blades are each fixed by means of the clamping body 108, 109 on the doctor blade chamber.
  • the front side of the doctor chamber 101 is closed by sealing body 107.
  • Anilox roller, doctor blade chamber, doctor blade and sealing body define a space which contains the printing ink 103 in the printing operation.
  • the ink must be pumped to a large extent from said space, which takes place via the discharge lines.
  • an adjustment mechanism 420 is provided, with which the doctoring chamber 101 carrying doctor blade carrier 210 relative to the carriage and thus is adjustable relative to the anilox roller.
  • the blocks, valves and preferably also the lines are arranged, but in the FIG. 4 for the sake of clarity is not shown.
  • the adjusting mechanism is designed here as an adjustable parallelogram, but the invention is not limited to this embodiment.
  • the parallelogram comprises two legs 411 and 412, which are pivotally connected to the attachment 212 at one end.
  • the respective second ends of the legs 411 and 412 are connected to a coupling rod 413, wherein the coupling rod 413 is rotatably articulated to the legs.
  • the coupling rod is substantially in the direction of the double arrow 414 movable.
