Definitions
- the invention relates to a printing press with at least one electric motor.
- Printing machines with electric motors that serve as drives are known. These printing presses usually use solvent-based ink, which means that there is a risk that the air will be enriched with solvent vapor and ignited by a spark in the electric motor.
- the object of the invention is to provide a printing press which has inexpensive explosion protection.
- a printing press with at least one electric motor is provided, which is arranged at a distance of less than 0.5 m from an emission source. Furthermore, the printing press has at least one explosion protection wall, which is designed in such a way that the minimum thread dimension between the emission source and the electric motor is greater than 0.5 m.
- an emission source is understood to mean a point at which, particularly when the printing press is in operation, solvent vapor is emitted, in particular of liquid solvent-based ink which has not yet dried completely.
- the location is in particular formed by a part of the printing press itself, operating resources such as material webs and printing ink being regarded as part of the printing press in this context.
- the emission source can be an anilox roller, a printing cylinder, a chambered doctor bar, an ink tray or a printed material web.
- the thread dimension is the length of a thread stretched between two points, ie the shortest free path which connects two points with one another bypassing obstacles. In contrast, intermediate obstacles are not taken into account when two points are separated.
- the explosion protection wall extends the minimum thread dimension between the emission source and the electric motor to at least 0.5 m.
- the minimum thread dimension is a value of over 0.5 m, which must be observed in accordance with safety regulations in order to reliably rule out an explosion hazard. Due to the explosion protection wall, the printing press can be constructed in a very compact and cost-effective manner since no complex devices for explosion protection are required.
- the explosion protection wall is part of a labyrinth construction that ensures that the minimum thread dimension is greater than 0.5 m, even if the electric motor is located closer than 0.5 m to the emission source.
- the explosion protection wall is part of a housing that is open on one side.
- the thread dimension to the electric motor can be determined, which is not the case with a completely closed housing, since the thread cannot be pulled through a completely closed housing.
- the open housing has the advantage that heat can be dissipated more easily from the electric motor, as a result of which overheating of the electric motor can be prevented with less effort.
- the housing has an opening on one side of the electric motor which is arranged opposite to the emission source. In this way, the thread dimension is particularly greatly extended by the housing, so that the electric motor can be arranged particularly close to the emission source.
- the printing press has a container which, in particular when the printing press is in operation, is intended to receive ink containing solvent up to a maximum level.
- the electric motor is arranged relative to the container in such a way that the minimum thread dimension between the maximum level and the electric motor without the Explosion protection wall is less than 0.5 m.
- the explosion protection wall is designed in such a way that the minimum thread dimension between the maximum level and the electric motor with the explosion protection wall is greater than 0.5 m.
- the maximum level forms the emission source in particular.
- the maximum level takes into account any machine parts, such as ink rollers, which may be immersed in the ink, so that the required protective distance of 0.5 m is ensured during operation of the printing machine.
- the container is a paint box or a paint pan, which usually have a larger amount of liquid solvent-based paint and thus form an essential emission source during operation.
- the electric motor itself is preferably not designed to be explosion-proof, as a result of which the printing press can be designed to be particularly cost-effective. Further advantages and features result from the following description and from the attached drawings. In these show:
- FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a printing machine according to the invention without explosion protection wall
- FIG. 2 is a schematic representation of the printing machine of Figure 1 with explosion protection wall.
- FIG. 1 shows a printing press 10 which has an ink fountain 12 and an electric motor 14.
- the printing press 10 cannot have an ink fountain 12.
- the printing press 10 is, for example, a flexographic printing press or a gravure printing press.
- the ink fountain 12 is filled with liquid solvent-based paint 16 up to a maximum level 18.
- the electric motor 14 is fastened to a carrier 20 of the printing press 10. In the present embodiment, the electric motor 14 forms an adjustment drive of the printing press 10.
- the distance A between the ink fountain 12 and the electric motor 14 is 0.25 m.
- the thread dimension Fi between the maximum level 18 and the electric motor 14 is 0.4 m.
- the distance between the maximum level 18 and the electric motor 14, with a negligible wall thickness of the ink fountain 12, is 0.25 m analogous to the distance A between the ink fountain 12 and the electric motor 14.
- an explosion protection wall 22 is provided (see FIG. 2).
- the emission source can be formed by any location, in particular in or on the printing press 10, which, when the printing press 10 is operating, has solvent-containing ink 16, which secretes solvent vapors to its surroundings.
- the explosion protection wall 22 is part of a housing 24 which surrounds the electric motor 14.
- the electric motor 14 is arranged in the housing 24 and fastened together with this to the carrier 20.
- the housing 24 is cuboid and has an opening 26 which is arranged opposite to the ink fountain 12 and thus opposite to the maximum level 18.
- the housing 24 has the shape of an open shoe box.
- the housing 24 is completely closed, so that no solvent or solvent-containing air can pass through the housing 24. In other words, the housing 24 is sealed.
- the explosion protection wall 22 is collar-shaped and runs closed around the electric motor 14 in the circumferential direction. With the explosion protection wall 22, the minimum thread dimension F2 between the maximum level 18 and the electric motor 14 is 0.6 m.
- the housing 24 and / or the explosion protection wall 22 can be of essentially any design, the geometry of the housing 24 and / or the explosion protection wall 22 ensuring that a sufficiently large thread dimension F is ensured between the emission source and the electric motor 14.
- the explosion protection wall 22 can be part of a labyrinth construction which ensures that the thread dimension F between the emission source and the electric motor 14 is greater than 0.5 m.
- the printing press 10 is not limited to the embodiment shown in the figures.
- the distance A between the electric motor and the emission source can be any value between 0 and 0.5 m.
- the minimum thread dimension F2 can be any value above 0.5 m.
- the thread dimension Fi is extended by the explosion protection wall 22 to the thread dimension F2, which ensures that the electric motor 14 is arranged outside of a range by the operation of the
- Printing machine can form an ignitable air mixture. An explosion of the solvent can thus be reliably ruled out.
