Description

Farbzufuhradapter für DruckmaschinenInk supply adapter for printing machines
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Farbzufuhradapter für eine Vorrichtung zum Dosieren von Farbe in einen Farbkasten einer Druckmaschine, mit einer für die Aufnahme einer Farbkartusche vorne bzw. seitlich offenen Halterung und einem Druckluftanschluss in der Halterung zur Farbabgabe.The invention relates to an ink supply adapter for a device for dosing ink into an ink fountain of a printing press, with a holder that is open at the front or on the side for receiving a ink cartridge and a compressed air connection in the holder for ink delivery.
Eine derartige Dosiervorrichtung ist bspw. aus der US 2003/0110967 A1 bekannt. Die Farbzufuhr erfolgt dabei üblicherweise über Färbkartuschen, welchen in einen dafür vorgesehenen Raum der Kartuschenhalterung auswechselbar einsetzbar sind. Farbkartuschen finden insbesondere dann Anwendung, wenn nur verhältnismäßig geringe Farbmengen für einen bestimmten Druckvorgang verwendet bzw. für einen häufigen Farbwechsel vorgesorgt werden soll. Die Verwendung von Farbkartuschen erfordert die Überwachung des Füllstandes und der Kartuschenwechsel ist zeitaufwändig. Deswegen ist nach der DE 199 53 324 C2 für ein Farbzufuhrsystem anderer Art ein Farbabgabeeinsatz vorgeschlagen worden, welcher in eine lediglich oben offenbare hüisenförmige Halte- rung alternativ zu einer Farbkartusche von oben einsetzbar ist und welcher ein im Umriss im Wesentlichen zylindrisches, an den Innenquerschnitt der hülsen- förmigen Halterung angepasstes Ventilgehäuse aufweist, das auf den Boden der Halterung aufsetzbar ist und mit einem nach unten gerichteten Austrittsrohr eine konzentrische Austrittsöffnung im Boden durchdringt. Der Farbabgabeein- satz umfasst ein von dem Ventilgehäuse ausgehendes, einen oberen Deckel der hülsenförmigen Halterung durchdringendes Anschlussrohr zur Verbindung mit einer von einem Farbgebinde außerhalb der Halterung ausgehenden Schlauchleitung. Ein in dem Farbabgabeeinsatz vorhandenes Farbabgabeventil ist über einen gesonderten Druckluftanschluss betätigbar. Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen einfach gegen eine Farbkartusche auszuwechselnden Farbzufuhradapter zu schaffen, bei welchem dieselbe Druckluftzufuhr, welche für das Austreiben der Farbe aus einer Farbkartusche ohnehin vorhanden ist, für die Farbdosierung bei Anschluss an einen größeren Farbvorrat nutzbar gemacht wird.Such a metering device is known, for example, from US 2003/0110967 A1. The ink is usually supplied via dye cartridges, which can be exchangeably inserted into a space provided in the cartridge holder. Color cartridges are used in particular when only relatively small quantities of ink are to be used for a specific printing process or when frequent color changes are to be provided. The use of color cartridges requires monitoring of the fill level and changing the cartridges is time-consuming. For this reason, according to DE 199 53 324 C2, a paint dispensing insert has been proposed for a paint supply system of a different kind, which can be inserted from above in a sleeve-shaped holder that can only be opened from above, and which has an essentially cylindrical outline on the inside of the inside of the holder has a sleeve-shaped holder adapted valve housing, which can be placed on the bottom of the holder and penetrates a concentric outlet opening in the bottom with an outlet pipe directed downwards. The paint delivery insert comprises a connecting pipe, which extends from the valve housing and penetrates an upper cover of the sleeve-shaped holder, for connection to a hose line which extends from a paint container outside the holder. An ink delivery valve present in the ink delivery insert can be actuated via a separate compressed air connection. The object of the present invention is to provide an ink supply adapter which can be easily exchanged for a color cartridge, in which the same compressed air supply, which is present anyway for expelling the ink from a color cartridge, is used for the color metering when connected to a larger ink supply.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bspw. im Wesentlichen dadurch gelöst, dass der Farbzufuhradapter nicht nur in den Kartuschenaufnahmeraum der vorne offenen Halterung einer Dosiervorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art, z.B. im Wesentlichen quer zu seiner Längsachse einsetzbar ist, sondern auch einen Drucklufteinlass für die Verbindung mit dem sonst für die Farbabgabe aus einer Farbkartusche dienenden Druckluftanschluss der Halterung, einen Farbzufuhr- einlass, vorzugsweise in das Ventilgehäuse und ein mittels der Druckluft aus dem Druckluftanschluss der Halterung ansteuerbares Farbabgabeventil auf- weist.This object is achieved, for example, essentially by the fact that the ink supply adapter not only in the cartridge receiving space of the front open holder of a metering device of the type mentioned above, e.g. can be used essentially transversely to its longitudinal axis, but also a compressed air inlet for the connection to the compressed air connection of the holder, which is otherwise used for the ink delivery from a color cartridge, an ink supply inlet, preferably into the valve housing and a device which can be controlled by means of the compressed air from the compressed air connection of the holder Paint delivery valve has.
Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, bei Dosiervorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art ohne besondere zusätzliche Maßnahmen, die ohnehin vorhandene Druckluft für die Betätigung des Farbabgabeventils auch ohne die Notwendigkeit der Verwendung eines besonderen Deckels nutzbar zu machen.In this way it is possible, in the case of metering devices of the type mentioned at the outset, to make use of the already existing compressed air for actuating the ink discharge valve without the need to use a special cover, without any special additional measures.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung hat der Farbzufuhradapter ein in Durchmesser und Höhe an die Abmessungen des Farbkartuschenaufnahme- raumes der Halterung für eine Farbkartusche angepasstes Adaptergehäuse zur Aufnahme des Farbabgabeventils, so dass der Farbzufuhradapter einfach von der Seite her gegen eine Farbkartusche ausgetauscht und nur die Verbindung zu dem Farbvorrat hergestellt werden muss, während sich die Verbindung mit dem Druckluftvorrat, wie bei dem Einsetzen einer Farbkartusche, selbsttätig einstellt. Bei einer besonders einfachen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist das Adaptergehäuse wenigstens zwei durch Abstandshalter im Abstand voneinander gehaltene, z. B. kreisrunde Stirnplatten auf. Die untere Stirnplatte bildet dabei die Standfläche in der Halterung, während die Abstandshalter, welche als Stangen ausgebildet sein können, den freien Zutritt zu dem Farbkartuschenaufnahme- raum und dem in dem Adaptergehäuse befindlichen Ventilgehäuse freilassen, so dass der Farbzufuhradapter an Ort und Stelle, z.B. über einen Anschlussschlauch einfach an die Farbzufuhr angeschlossen werden kann.In a further embodiment of the invention, the ink supply adapter has an adapter housing, adapted in diameter and height to the dimensions of the ink cartridge receiving space of the holder for an ink cartridge, for receiving the ink discharge valve, so that the ink supply adapter is simply exchanged from the side for an ink cartridge and only the connection to the ink supply must be established, while the connection to the compressed air supply, such as when a color cartridge is inserted, is established automatically. In a particularly simple embodiment of the invention, the adapter housing has at least two spaced apart, for. B. circular end plates. The lower end plate forms the base in the holder, while the spacers, which can be designed as rods, leave free access to the ink cartridge receiving space and the valve housing located in the adapter housing, so that the ink supply adapter is in place, for example via a connecting hose can easily be connected to the paint supply.
Dabei ist insbesondere eine vorzugsweise flexible Verbindung zwischen dem Drucklufteinlass in der dem Druckluftanschluss der Haltung zugewandten Stirnplatte und einem stirnseitigen oder seitlichen Drucklufteinlass des Ventilgehäuses vorgesehen, so dass in dem Adaptergehäuse verschiedenartige Farbabgabeventile mit entsprechend unterschiedlichem Ventilgehäuse untergebracht werden können.In particular, a preferably flexible connection is provided between the compressed air inlet in the end plate facing the compressed air connection of the holder and an end-side or side compressed air inlet of the valve housing, so that different types of paint discharge valves with correspondingly different valve housings can be accommodated in the adapter housing.
Des weiteren ist von Vorteil, wenn der Farbzufuhreinlass seitlich in das Ventilgehäuse mündet, um gut zugänglich zu sein.It is also advantageous if the ink supply inlet opens laterally into the valve housing in order to be easily accessible.
Weitere Ziele, Merkmale, Vorteile und Anwendungsmöglichkeiten der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung von Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der Zeichnung. Dabei bilden alle beschriebenen und/oder bildlich dargestellten Merkmale für sich oder in beliebiger Kombination den Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung, auch unabhängig von deren Zusammenfassung in ein- zelnen Ansprüchen oder deren Rückbeziehung.Further objectives, features, advantages and possible uses of the invention result from the following description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the drawing. All of the described and / or illustrated features, alone or in any combination, form the subject of the present invention, regardless of their combination in individual claims or their relationship.
Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung veranschaulicht in Schrägansicht einen die Erfindung aufweisenden Farbzufuhradapter, eingesetzt in eine an sich bekannten Vorrichtung zum Dosieren von Farbe in einen Farbkasten einer Druckmaschine mit einer in ihrer Umfangswandung vorne bzw. seitlich offenen Halterung für die Aufnahme einer Farbkartusche.The single figure of the drawing illustrates, in an oblique view, an ink supply adapter embodying the invention, inserted into a device for metering ink into a ink fountain of a printing press, which device is known per se with a holder that is open in its peripheral wall at the front or on the side for holding a color cartridge.
Die in der Zeichnung dargestellte Vorrichtung zum Dosieren von Farbe in einen Farbkasten einer Druckmaschine hat eine Halterung H für die Aufnahme einer (nicht dargestellten) Farbkartusche. Die Halterung H ist in ihrer Umfangswandung nach vorne und seitlich über die gesamte Höhe der normalerweise einzusetzenden Farbkartusche offen, damit letztere von vorne bzw. von der Seite her in den Kartuschenaufnahmeraum 4 eingesetzt werden kann und selbsttätig eine Druckluftverbindung zwischen dem an dem oberhalb des Kartuschenaufnahmeraumes 4 befindlichen Teil H' der Halterung H vorgesehenen Druckluftanschluss entsteht. Aufgrund der in die herkömmlicherweise vorgesehene Farbkartusche einströmenden Druckluft erfolgt die Farbabgabe aus dieser Farbkartusche zu einer Farbabgabeöffnung in dem unterhalb des Kartuschenaufnahmeraumes 4 befindlichen Teil H" der Halterung H.The device shown in the drawing for dosing ink into an ink fountain of a printing press has a holder H for receiving a (not shown) ink cartridge. The holder H is open in its circumferential wall to the front and to the side over the entire height of the color cartridge that is normally to be used, so that the latter can be inserted into the cartridge receiving space 4 from the front or from the side, and automatically a compressed air connection between the one above and the cartridge receiving space 4 located part H 'of the holder H provided compressed air connection. Because of the compressed air flowing into the conventionally provided ink cartridge, the ink is emitted from this ink cartridge to an ink discharge opening in the part H "of the holder H located below the cartridge receiving space 4.
Erfindungsgemäß ist nach der Zeichnung in den Kartuschenaufnahmeraum 4 - statt einer Farbkartusche - ein Farbzufuhradapter 13 besonderer Art eingesetzt. Der Farbzufuhradapter 13 ist in seiner Höhe und in seinem Durchmesser an die Abmessungen des vorne und seitlich offenen Kartuschenaufnahmeraumes 4 angepasst, so dass beim Einsetzen des Farbzufuhradapters 13 in Richtung quer zu seiner Längsachse ein in einer oberen Stirnplatte 7 eines Adaptergehäuses 5 befindlicher Drucklufteinlass 1 unmittelbar in Strömungsverbindung mit dem in dem oberen Teil H' der Halterung H ohnehin für den Einsatz der Vorrichtung mit Farbkartuschen vorgesehenen Druckluftauslass tritt. An den Drucklufteinlass 1 schließt sich nach unten eine flexible Verbindung 8, welche bspw. von einer Schlauchverbindung gebildet ist, an, welche zu einem Drucklufteinlass 9 eines in dem Adaptergehäuse 5 untergebrachten Ventilgehäuse 10 führt. Der Drucklufteinlass 9 kann von oben stirnseitig oder von der Seite her in das Ventilge- häuse 10 münden. In dem Ventilgehäuse 10 befindet sich ein Farbabgabeventil 3, welches sich, bei entsprechender Druckluftbeaufschlagung über die Verbindung 8, nach unten in eine (nicht dargestellte) Durchgangsbohrung einer unteren Stirnplatte 7' des Adaptergehäuses 5 öffnen kann, welche ihrerseits in die (ebenfalls nicht sichtbare) Farbabgabeöffnung des unteren Teils H" der Halterung H mündet.According to the invention, an ink supply adapter 13 of a special type is inserted into the cartridge receiving space 4 instead of an ink cartridge. The height and diameter of the ink supply adapter 13 are adapted to the dimensions of the cartridge receiving space 4 which is open at the front and on the side, so that when the ink supply adapter 13 is inserted in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis, a compressed air inlet 1 located in an upper end plate 7 of an adapter housing 5 is directly in Flow connection occurs with the compressed air outlet provided in the upper part H 'of the holder H anyway for the use of the device with color cartridges. A flexible connection 8, which is formed, for example, by a hose connection, adjoins the compressed air inlet 1 and leads to a compressed air inlet 9 of a valve housing 10 accommodated in the adapter housing 5. The compressed air inlet 9 can open into the valve housing 10 from the top or from the side. In the valve housing 10 there is a paint delivery valve 3, which, with a corresponding pressurized air supply via the connection 8, can open downwards into a through hole (not shown) in a lower end plate 7 'of the adapter housing 5, which in turn can open into the (also not visible) Paint discharge opening of the lower part H "of the holder H opens.
Die Stirnplatten 7, 7' sind über als Gewindestangen ausgebildete Abstandshalter 6 in dem erforderlichen Abstand für die Passung des Adaptergehäuses 5 in den Kartuschenaufnahmeraum 4 gehalten, so dass durch Verwendung von Abstandshaltern 6 unterschiedlicher Länge eine Anpassung an andere Raumverhältnisse und -abmessungen vorgesehen werden kann. Die Stangenverbindung sorgt auch für eine einfache Zugänglichkeit des mit Gewindeanschluss für eine Schlauchleitung 11 versehenen Farbzufuhreinlasses 2 in der Umfangswandung des Ventilgehäuses 10 des Farbabgabeventils 3. Die Schlauchleitung 11 steht mit einem Farbgebinde in Strömungsverbindung, aus welchem Farbe abgegeben werden soll.The end plates 7, 7 'are held in the required distance for the fit of the adapter housing 5 in the cartridge receiving space 4 via spacers 6 designed as threaded rods, so that an adaptation to other spatial conditions and dimensions can be provided by using spacers 6 of different lengths. The rod connection also ensures easy access to the paint supply inlet 2, which is provided with a threaded connection for a hose line 11, in the peripheral wall of the valve housing 10 of the paint discharge valve 3. The hose line 11 is in flow connection with a paint container, from which color is to be delivered.
Die beiden kreisrunden Stirnplatten 7, 7' sind in ihrem Durchmesser an den Durchmesser der sonst bei einer solchen Dosiervorrichtung verwendeten Farbkartuschen anpassbar.The diameter of the two circular end plates 7, 7 'can be adapted to the diameter of the color cartridges otherwise used in such a metering device.
Man erkennt, dass bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung zum Einsetzen des Farbzufuhradapters 13 in den Kartuschenaufnahmeraum 4 lediglich von der Sei- te her die Schlauchleitung 11 an den Farbzufuhreinlass 2 des Ventilgehäuses 10 angeschlossen werden muss. Durch die Anordnung des Drucklufteinlasses 1 in der oberen Stirnplatte 7 des Farbzufuhradapters 13 und die in den Farbzufuhradapter 13 integrierte Verbindung 8 wird kein zusätzlicher Luftschlauch zum Ansteuern des Farbabgabeventils 3 benötigt. Auch beim Zurückwechseln zu einer Farbkartusche muss nicht zusätzlich ein Luftschlauch ab- oder angekoppelt werden.It can be seen that in the solution according to the invention for inserting the ink supply adapter 13 into the cartridge receiving space 4, the hose line 11 only has to be connected to the ink supply inlet 2 of the valve housing 10 from the side. Due to the arrangement of the compressed air inlet 1 in the upper end plate 7 of the paint supply adapter 13 and the connection 8 integrated in the paint supply adapter 13, no additional air hose is required to actuate the paint discharge valve 3. Even when switching back to An air hose does not have to be uncoupled or connected to a color cartridge.
Die Erfindung ist nicht auf diese geschilderten Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt, da sie in verschiedener Weise verwirklicht werden kann. Die zuvor und in den Ansprüchen verwendeten Begriffe dienen lediglich der Erläuterung und nicht der Beschränkung. The invention is not restricted to the exemplary embodiments described, since it can be implemented in various ways. The terms used above and in the claims serve only for explanation and not for limitation.
