Description

  The present invention relates to a wiping device for an intaglio printing press, and particularly detects a functional component remaining on the surface of a wiping roller when using an intaglio ink containing a functional component, and performs appropriate pressure management of a cleaning member against the wiping roller. It is realized.

A conventional wiping device for an intaglio printing machine includes a wiping roller support frame mechanism composed of a mechanism for fixing a wiping roller installed on a wiping tank and a finishing blade mechanism for continuously applying a set oil pressure. Equipped with a control device that can move horizontally to the body, measure the reaction force with a pressure gauge, automatically change the position of the wiping roller to a preset value, and perform pressure management There are some (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). Also, as a wiping roller used in intaglio printing presses, PVC pasting resin, plasticizer, and metal oxide, which are various materials of wiping roller, are weighed, stirred, kneaded, defoamed and then applied as a thin film on the substrate There is a wiping roller that repeats work and heating reaction, and finally polishes and manufactures (see, for example, Patent Document 2).

  When the above-described prior art is used, it is possible to automatically manage the pressing of the wiping roller against the intaglio plate surface, thereby reducing the load on the operator and stabilizing the quality to some extent. Moreover, since it can suppress that it presses excessively with respect to an intaglio plate surface, the life extension of the wiping roller to be used can also be anticipated.

  However, when Patent Document 1 is used, regardless of the amount of ink supplied to the intaglio plate surface, the pressing force of the wiping roller to the intaglio plate surface is continuously applied. If the ink supply tends to be light and the amount of ink supplied is large, a quality abnormality called unwiped residue may occur in the printed product.

  When there is a large amount of ink supply, the pressing force of the cleaning member against the wiping roller may be set in advance to suppress the occurrence of abnormal products. Not only is the load on the cleaning member large, but the wiping roller wears out too much. It was hard to say that proper wiping was performed.

  On the other hand, the residual ink component appearing on the surface of the wiping roller is detected using a color identification sensor, and the pressure of the cleaning member is applied and adjusted based on the detection result, so that the pressure management of the cleaning member is increased. However, it was difficult to reliably detect the surface color of the wiping roller due to variations during firing.

  When Patent Document 2 is used, the roller surface color can be controlled to some extent by the metal oxide to be added. For example, when cobalt blue is added, the surface color becomes blueish blue, and when titanium white is added, the surface color becomes white. However, the roller surface becomes rough with use and becomes uneven, and the ink component stays slightly in the recess, making accurate detection difficult.

  In such a background, there has been a demand for a device that reliably detects the residual ink component on the surface of the wiping roller and applies and adjusts the pressure of the cleaning member against the wiping roller, as compared to the prior art.

  The wiping device of the intaglio printing machine wipes off the excess ink on the intaglio plate surface with a wiping roller. However, as a general device, an intaglio plate with an arbitrarily set pressing value as in Patent Document 1 is used. A cleaning device having a cleaning member that continuously applies a certain pressure to the plate surface, wipes off excess ink on the intaglio plate surface, and at the same time cleans the ink adhering to the surface of the wiping roller in the cleaning liquid with a pressure value set arbitrarily. is there. Since intaglio printing is affected by the amount of ink supplied, it is difficult to say that proper cleaning can be performed only by arbitrarily setting the pressing force of the cleaning member against the wiping roller. Inevitably, the operator often arbitrarily extracted printed products and visually confirmed them, and there were not a few variations in quality. Also, the printing operation was not efficient.

  Further, the operator has to constantly monitor the surface of the wiping roller in order to cope with the wiping abnormality. Residual ink on the surface of the wiping roller may not be reliably detected by visual observation, and the operator may check the surface of the wiping roller while touching it directly by hand.

  In addition, as in Patent Document 2, there are some which make it easy to detect residual ink components appearing on the roller surface by coloring the surface color of the wiping roller. Detection accuracy is not good due to uneven firing at the time, it is difficult to detect the surface of the wiping roller, and to manage the pressing of the cleaning member against the wiping roller based on the detected value, which is not realistic . For these reasons, there is a current situation that does not necessarily shift to the prior art.

  In order to solve the above problems, in recent years, attention has been paid to a functional component as a functional material that is generally imparted to ink, and the surface of the wiping roller is wiped off with the cleaning device. In the wiping device for detecting the functional component on the surface of the wiping roller after the cleaning liquid is scraped off by the doctor blade located on the most downstream side, the functional detection device for detecting the functional component on the surface of the wiping roller, and the function A detection value storage device that is connected to the sex detection device and stores a detection value detected by the functionality detection device; a reference value storage device that presets and stores a reference value; and a detection value of the detection value storage device and the An analysis device including a comparison device that compares the reference value of the reference value storage device, and a cleaning unit for the wiping roller based on the analysis result of the analysis device It is obtained by a control device for controlling the pressing.

  The functional detector has a detector that detects at least one of glossy, liquid crystal, infrared, ultraviolet, fluorescent, and magnetic functional components, and is provided in the vicinity of the wiping roller.

  The functional detection device is disposed relative to the wiping roller and can be appropriately moved in the roller axial direction.

  In addition, at least one of the functional detection devices has a magnetic detector composed of a magnetic sensor and a magnetic material provided in the vicinity of the magnetic sensor.

  Further, at least one of the functional detection devices has a fluorescence detector capable of measuring electromagnetic waves of 250 nm to 900 nm.

  Further, at least one of the functional detection devices has an ultraviolet detector capable of measuring electromagnetic waves of 150 nm to 350 nm.

  Further, at least one of the functional detection devices has an infrared detector capable of measuring an electromagnetic wave of 2 μm to 25 μm.

  By the wiping device of the intaglio printing press according to the present invention, the ink component remaining on the surface of the wiping roller is properly wiped off, the quality of the intaglio printing product is improved, and continuous and stable operation can be obtained. It becomes possible.

  Further, since the contact pressure of the cleaning member with respect to the wiping roller is appropriate, the wear and wear of the wiping roller is minimized, and the life of the wiping roller can be expected to be extended. Therefore, the cost for the wiping roller can be reduced.

  In addition, since the contact pressure of the cleaning member with the wiping roller is appropriate, the cleaning member (for example, scrubbing) can be prevented from being deteriorated more than necessary, and the amount of ink deposited on the cleaning member can be reduced. Continuous operation is possible.

  In addition, since it is unnecessary for the operator to frequently observe the surface of the wiping roller as before, the workability can be greatly improved.

  Furthermore, by using the wiping device for an intaglio printing press according to the present invention, it is possible to detect residual functional components that appear on the surface of the wiping roller even when the intaglio printing speed is increased (for example, 12,000 sheets / hour). It has accuracy and can cope with it sufficiently.

  In the intaglio printing machine, ink is supplied from an ink supply device (not shown) to the intaglio plate surface 9 in FIG. 1, and excess ink on the intaglio plate surface 9 is wiped off by a wiping roller 8, and between the impression cylinder and the intaglio plate surface 9 (not shown). Intaglio printing is performed on the paper passing through. The wiping device wipes excess ink wiped off from the intaglio plate surface 9 by the wiping roller 8 with a plurality of cleaning members 13 provided inside the wiping tank 11 and a cleaning device (not shown), and a doctor blade located on the most downstream side The cleaning liquid is scraped off at 10 to prepare for the next cleaning of the intaglio plate surface 9.

  The wiping device of the general intaglio printing press shown in FIG. 3 has a wiping roller support frame 23 around which the wiping roller 8 is suspended as a pressure of the wiping roller 8 against the intaglio plate surface 9 and is positioned horizontally below the wiping roller support frame 23. The guide rail 24 provided on is pressed with an arbitrarily set pressing value.

  The actual pressing value received by the wiping roller 8 is measured by the pressure gauge 22 through the hydraulic mechanism cylinder portion 31 and the hydraulic mechanism piston portion 32 via the bracket 21 attached to the guide rail 24. Based on the value measured here, the pressure of the wiping roller 8 against the intaglio plate surface 9 is set. As the wiping roller 8 moves, the cleaning member 13 continues to apply pressure to the wiping roller 8 so as to satisfy an arbitrarily set pressing value.

  As described above, the wiping device of a general intaglio printing press measures the reaction force that the wiping roller 8 receives from the intaglio plate surface 9, and the wiping roller 8 presses (moves) the intaglio plate surface 9 based on this measured value. At the same time, the cleaning member 13 follows and presses against the wiping roller 8, whereas the wiping device of the intaglio printing press of the present invention uses the wiping roller 8 that wipes off excess ink on the intaglio plate surface 9. As the cleaning, the surface of the wiping roller 8 after wiping off the cleaning liquid by a cleaning device including a plurality of cleaning members 13 and a cleaning liquid (not shown) provided in the wiping tank 11 and scraping the cleaning liquid by the doctor blade 10 at the most downstream side is cleaned. Observing and realizing pressing management of the cleaning member 13 according to the state.

  As an embodiment of the present invention, a case where the residual magnetic component on the surface of the wiping roller 8 is detected using the functional component detector (magnetic detector) 1 will be described as an example with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIG. 1, a wiping device for an intaglio printing press according to the present invention includes a magnetic detector 1 including a magnetic sensor 2 for detecting a magnetic component on the surface of a wiping roller 8 and a magnetic body 3, and the magnetic The detection value storage device 5 stores the magnetic data acquired by the detector 1, and the comparison device 6 compares the data of the detection value storage device 5 with a reference value arbitrarily set in advance in the reference value storage device 55. And the control device 7 that controls the pressing of the cleaning member 13 against the wiping roller 8 based on the analysis result from the analysis device 4.

  The surface of the wiping roller 8 from which the excess ink has been wiped off from the intaglio plate surface 9 is cleaned by a cleaning device including a plurality of cleaning members 13 provided in the wiping tank 11 and a cleaning liquid (not shown). The cleaning liquid is scraped off and the roller surface becomes clean. If ink (including magnetic components) remains on the surface of the wiping roller 8 at this time, the magnetism is detected by the magnetic detector 1 including the magnetic sensor 2 (HP-10; manufactured by Makome Laboratories) and the magnetic body 3. Detect ingredients.

  The ink component containing the magnetic component on the surface of the wiping roller 8 can be detected by the magnetic sensor 2 alone, but the accuracy of the detection value is reduced by external noise. Is converged on the magnetic body 3 (for example, paramagnetic body: manganese), and the magnetic body 3 is detected by the magnetic sensor 2 to improve detection accuracy.

  In addition, it can be imagined that ink is mixed into the surface of the wiping roller 8 with use and adversely affects magnetic detection. However, by using the magnetic detector 1 of the present invention, the magnetic component mixed in the roller surface and attenuated and intaglio are used. The magnetic component of the ink that has just been wiped off from the plate surface 9 can be separated and extracted.

  The data acquired by the magnetic detector 1 is stored in the detection value storage device 5, and the value set in the reference value storage device 55 is compared with the value set in the reference value storage device 55, and the value set in the reference value storage device 55. The cleaning member 13 against the wiping roller 8 is controlled to be pressed.
