Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Auftragswerk für lösungsmittelhaltiges Auftragsmaterial, mit einer Vielzahl von lösungsmittelhaltiges Auftragsmaterial führenden Walzen, mit wenigstens einem Abstreifer zur Entfernung von überschüssigem, an den Walzenrand verdrängtem Auftragsmaterial.The invention relates to a commissioned work for solvent-containing application material, with a plurality of solvent-containing application material leading rollers, with at least one scraper for removing excess, displaced to the roll edge application material.

Bei einem aus mehreren Walzen bestehenden Farbauftragswerk wird auf die Farbauftragswalze überschüssig aufgebrachtes Auftragsmaterial z.B. mit einer Rakel von der Walzenoberfläche entfernt und gegen die Stirnseiten der Walze verdrängt. Dieses überschüssige Auftragsmaterial sammelt sich dort und wird üblicherweise durch seitlich an den Walzenstirnflächen angebrachte Farbabstreifer weitestgehend abgestreift. Die sowohl am Farbabstreifer selber als auch auf das Maschinenbett verdrängte, nicht zurückzugewinnende Auftragsmaterial härtet nach und nach aus und baut eine störende, letztlich an den Walzen schleifende Masse auf, die mühsam entfernt werden muss, insbesondere bevor sie sich durch Reibung an den drehenden Teilen erhitzt und zu brennen beginnt.In a multi-roll inking unit, excess application material applied to the inking roller is e.g. removed with a doctor blade from the roll surface and displaced against the end faces of the roller. This excess application material collects there and is usually stripped off as far as possible by laterally attached to the roller end faces Farbabstreifer. The non-recoverable coating material, which is displaced both on the paint wiper itself and on the machine bed, gradually hardens and builds up a disturbing mass that ultimately rubs against the rollers, which must be laboriously removed, in particular before it heats up by friction on the rotating parts and starts to burn.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einem Auftragswerk der eingangs genannten Art das Anhaften und Aushärten von Auftragsmaterial an Walzenstirnflächen auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise zu vermeiden und damit einem durch Reibungshitze entstehenden Brandrisiko entgegenzuwirken.The invention is based on the object at a commissioned work of the type mentioned to avoid the adhesion and curing of application material to roll end faces in a simple and cost-effective manner and thus counteract a fire risk arising from friction heat.

Ein weiteres Ziel der Erfindung ist die Rückgewinnung von an die Walzenstirnseiten verdrängtem Auftragsmaterial.Another object of the invention is the recovery of displaced to the roll end faces application material.

Zur erfindungsgemässen Lösung der Aufgabe führt bei einem Auftragswerk der eingangs genannten Art, dass die Abstreifer den Stirnflächen der Walzen anliegen und diese überstreichen, wobei von den Abstreifern überstrichene Bereiche der Stirnflächen über Lösungsmittelleitungen mit Lösungsmittel besprühbar sind.To solve the problem of the invention results in a commissioned work of the type mentioned that the scrapers abut the end faces of the rollers and sweep them, wherein swept by the scrapers areas of the faces are sprayed on solvent lines with solvent.

Mit den erfindungsgemäss mit Lösungsmittelleitungen ausgestatteten Abstreifern kann ein durch Reibungshitze entstehendes Brennen vermieden werden. Die Zufuhr von Lösungsmittel führt zu einer Zwangsschmierung der Abstreifer. Als Lösungsmittel dient zweckmässigerweise das als Basis für das Auftragsmaterial verwendete Lösungsmittel.With the scrapers equipped with solvent lines according to the invention, burning caused by frictional heat can be avoided. The supply of solvent leads to forced lubrication of the scrapers. The solvent used is expediently the solvent used as the basis for the application material.

Zweckmässigerweise sind zu den Abstreifern führende Lösungsmittelleitungen mit einem Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter verbunden.Conveniently, leading to the stripper solvent lines are connected to a solvent reservoir.

Die Abstreifer weisen bevorzugt eine Grundplatte mit wenigstens einem von der Grundplatte abragenden Abstreifelement auf. Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind zwei streifenförmige Abstreifelemente in einem Winkel aufeinander zulaufend angeordnet, wobei wenigstens eine Lösungsmittelleitung mit wenigstens einer Austrittsöffnung für Lösungsmittel zwischen den Abstreifelementen angeordnet ist, wobei die aufeinander zulaufenden streifenförmige Abstreifelemente zur weiteren Verbesserung der Zwangsschmierwirkung unter Bildung eines etwa in Richtung der Winkelhalbierenden verlaufenden Spaltes voneinander beabstandet sein können.The scrapers preferably have a base plate with at least one scraping element protruding from the base plate. In a particularly preferred embodiment, two strip-shaped stripping elements are arranged at an angle to each other, wherein at least one solvent line is arranged with at least one outlet opening for solvent between the stripping, wherein the converging strip-shaped stripping to further improve the forced lubrication effect to form an approximately in the direction of Bisector extending gap may be spaced from each other.

Zur Erzielung einer optimalen Rücklösung von Auftragsmaterialresten sind die Abstreifer mittels eines Druckelementes mit einer definierten Andruckkraft an die Stirnseiten der Walzen anlegbar. Geeignete Druckelemente sind z.B. Federn sowie pneumatische und hydraulische Systeme.In order to achieve an optimum return of coating material residues, the wipers can be applied to the end faces of the rolls by means of a pressure element with a defined pressure force. Suitable printing elements are e.g. Springs as well as pneumatic and hydraulic systems.

Für eine optimale Lösungsmitteldosierung ist bevorzugt ein Durchflussüberwachungsgerät zur Messung und Steuerung der Lösungsmittelzufuhr vom Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter über die Lösungsmittelleitungen zu den Abstreifern angeordnet, wobei die Lösungsmittelzufuhr zu den Abstreifern vorzugsweise in Abhängigkeit von der Umfanggeschwindigkeit der Walzen steuerbar ist. Die Schmierung mit Lösungsmittel kann somit beliebig zeitlich getaktet werden.For optimum solvent metering, a flow monitoring device for measuring and controlling the solvent supply from the solvent reservoir via the solvent lines to the scrapers is preferably arranged, wherein the solvent supply to the scrapers is preferably controllable as a function of the circumferential speed of the rollers. The lubrication with solvent can thus be clocked arbitrarily in time.

Ein in Fig. 1 beispielhaft gezeigtes Farb-, Lack- oder Kleberauftragswerk 10 weist eine Lack, Kleber oder Druckfarbe enthaltende Farbwanne 12 auf. Eine mit ihrer Mantelfläche teilweise in die Wanne 12 eintauchende rotierende Schöpfwalze 16 nimmt den Lack, den Kleber oder die Druckfarbe auf und überträgt diese auf eine Dosierwalze 18. Eine Lack-, Kleber- oder Farbauftragswalze 20 übernimmt den Lack, den Kleber oder die Druckfarbe von der Dosierwalze 18 und gibt sie weiter an eine Übertragungswalze 20, welche den Lack-, Kleber-, Druckfarbe auf einen Druckzylinder bzw. eine Auftragswalze 22 überträgt. Die Auftragswalze 22 überträgt den Lack, den Kleber oder die Druckfarbe auf die Materialbahn mittels einer Formatwalze 14. Die Walzen 14, 16, 18, 20 sowie der Druckzylinder 22 sind über entsprechende Lager- bzw. Antriebswellen 24 in einem in der Zeichnung nicht wiedergegebenen Maschinenständer gelagert und zumindest teilweise angetrieben. Eine gegebenenfalls oszillierende Rakel 26 ist beispielhaft im Bereich der Farbauftragswalze 22 angeordnet. Die sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Breite der Mantelfläche der Farbauftragswalze 22 erstreckende Rakel 26 dient der gleichmässigen Verteilung des Auftragsmaterials und verdrängt das überschüssige Auftragsmaterial zu den stirnseitigen Enden der Farbauftragswalze 22.An in Fig. 1 An example of a paint, varnish or adhesive applicator 10 has a paint pan 12 containing a varnish, adhesive or printing ink. A rotating scoop roller 16, which partially plunges into the sump 12 with its lateral surface, takes up the paint, the adhesive or the printing ink and transfers them to a metering roller 18. A paint, adhesive or inking roller 20 takes over the paint, the adhesive or the printing ink of the metering roller 18 and passes them on to a transfer roller 20, which transfers the paint, adhesive, ink on a printing cylinder or an applicator roll 22. The applicator roll 22 transfers the lacquer, the adhesive or the ink to the material web by means of a size roller 14. The rollers 14, 16, 18, 20 and the impression cylinder 22 are via corresponding bearing or drive shafts 24 in a machine stand not shown in the drawing stored and at least partially driven. An optionally oscillating doctor blade 26 is arranged by way of example in the region of the inking roller 22. The squeegee 26 extending substantially over the entire width of the lateral surface of the inking roller 22 serves the uniform distribution of the application material and displaces the excess application material to the front ends of the inking roller 22nd

Seitlich am Farbauftragswerk 10 sind zwei einander etwa diametral gegenüberliegende Farbabstreifer 28 so angeordnet, dass diese -- wie aus Fig. 2 ersichtlich -- einen Bereich der Stirnfläche 18a beispielweise der Farbauftragswalze 18 und einen Bereich der Stirnfläche 16a der benachbarten Dosierwalze 16 bzw. der Stirnfläche 20a bzw. der benachbarten Übertragungswalze 20 überdecken. Die Farbabstreifer 28 liegen den Stirnflächen 16a, 18a, 20a, 22a an und können über je ein feststehendes Hydraulikelement 30 mit einer voreinstellbaren Andrückkraft beaufschlagt werden. Anstelle eines Hydraulikelementes 30 kann auch ein Pneumatikelement oder eine Federanordnung eingesetzt werden. Aus Gründen einer besseren Übersicht sind die Farbabstreifer 28 nur auf einer Seite der Walzen 16, 18, 20, 22 des Farbauftragswerkes 10 eingezeichnet.On the side of the paint applicator 10 two approximately diametrically opposed Farbabstreifer 28 are arranged so that these - like Fig. 2 a region of the end face 18a, for example, the inking roller 18 and a region of the end face 16a of the adjacent metering roller 16 and the end face 20a and the adjacent transfer roller 20 overlap. The Farbabstreifer 28 are the end faces 16a, 18a, 20a, 22a and can be acted upon by a fixed hydraulic element 30 with a presettable pressing force. Instead of a hydraulic element 30, a pneumatic element or a spring arrangement can also be used. For reasons of a better overview, the color wipers 28 are shown only on one side of the rollers 16, 18, 20, 22 of the inking unit 10.

Wie in Fig. 3 gezeigt, bestehen die Farbabstreifer 28 im wesentlichen aus einer Grundplatte 32 aus Aluminium in der Form eines rechtwinklig gleichschenkligen Dreiecks und zwei mit der Grundplatte 32 verschraubten, Auflageflächen bildenden Abstreifelementen 34 aus Messingbronze. Für die Abstreifelemente können auch andere Materialien verwendet werden, wie z.B. Keramik oder andere sog. "weiche" Metalle wie Aluminium. Die von der Grundplatte 32 um wenige Millimeter abragenden Abstreifelemente 34 verlaufen im Randbereich und parallel zu den Katheten der dreieckförmigen Grundplatte 32, laufen in einem rechten Winkel aufeinander einander zu und sind im Bereich der durch die Katheten gebildeten Ecke der Grundplatte 32 unter Bildung eines in der Winkelhalbierenden w liegenden Spaltes 36 voneinander beabstandet. In die Grundplatte 32 ist eine im wesentlichen entlang der innenliegenden Kante 38 der Abstreifelemente 34 verlaufende, kanalartige Vertiefung gefräst. In die kanalartige Vertiefung ist eine an einem Ende verschlossene Lösungsmittelleitung 40 aus Aluminium mit entlang der Leitungsachse von einander beabstandet angeordneten Austrittsöffnungen 42 eingelegt. Die in die kanalartige Vertiefung in der Grundplatte 32 eingelegte Lösungsmittelleitung 40 ist teilweise von den Abstreifelementen 34 übergriffen und auf diese Weise auf der Grundplatte 32 fixiert.As in Fig. 3 shown, the Farbabstreifer 28 consist essentially of a base plate 32 made of aluminum in the form of a right-angled isosceles triangle and two bolted to the base plate 32, the bearing surfaces forming stripping elements 34 brass bronze. For the stripping elements, other materials may be used, such as ceramic or other so-called. "Soft" metals such as aluminum. The projecting from the base plate 32 by a few millimeters Abstreifelemente 34 extend in the edge region and parallel to the catheters of the triangular base plate 32, at a right angle to each other and are in the region of the corner formed by the cathodes of the base plate 32 to form a in the Angle bisecting w lying gap 36 spaced from each other. In the base plate 32 has a substantially along the inner edge 38 of the stripping elements 34 extending, channel-like recess milled. In the channel-like depression a closed at one end solvent line 40 made of aluminum with along the line axis of spaced apart arranged outlet openings 42 is inserted. The inserted into the channel-like depression in the base plate 32 solvent line 40 is partially overlapped by the stripping elements 34 and fixed in this manner on the base plate 32.

Die Farbabstreifer 28 sind so im Farbauftragswerk 10 angeordnet, dass die Winkelhalbierende w der Grundplatte 32 und der zwischen den beiden aufeinander zulaufenden Abstreifelementen 34 gebildete Spalt 36 etwa in der gemeinsamen Tangentialebene der Berührungslinie des vom Farbabstreifer 28 bearbeiteten Walzenpaares 16, 18 bzw. 18, 20 liegen. Hierbei ragen die Längskanten der beiden Abstreifelemente 34 über die Mantelfläche der beiden Walzen 16, 18 bzw. 18, 20 hinaus und bilden mit den Umfanglinien der Stirnflächen 16a, 18a, 20a einen zum Abstreifen des überschüssigen Auftragsmaterials günstigen Winkel.The Farbabstreifer 28 are arranged in the inking unit 10, that the bisector w of the base plate 32 and formed between the two converging stripping elements 34 gap 36 approximately in the common tangent plane of the line of contact of the Farbabstreifer 28 processed pair of rollers 16, 18 and 18, 20th lie. In this case, the longitudinal edges of the two stripping elements 34 protrude beyond the lateral surface of the two rollers 16, 18 or 18, 20 and form with the circumferential lines of the end faces 16a, 18a, 20a a favorable angle for stripping off the excess application material.

Die Lösungsmittelleitung 40 jedes Farbabstreifers 28 steht mit einem Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter 44 in Verbindung.The solvent line 40 of each paint scraper 28 communicates with a solvent reservoir 44.

Während des Betriebs des Farbauftragswerkes 10 liegt eines der Abstreifelemente 34 der beiden Farbabstreifer 28 der Stirnfläche 18a der Farbauftragswalze 18 und das andere Abstreifelement 34 der Stirnfläche 16a bzw. 20a der an die Farbauftragswalze 18 angrenzenden Dosierwalze 16 bzw. Übertragungswalze 20 in schleifendem Kontakt an. Vom Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter 44 wird Lösungsmittel über die Lösungsmittelleitung 40 zu den Farbabstreifem 28 geführt und über die Austrittsöffnungen 42 gegen die Stirnflächen 16a, 18, 20a der entsprechenden Walzen 16, 18, 20 gesprüht. Ein Teil des versprühten Lösungsmittels tritt auch in den Spalt 36 zwischen den beiden Abstreifelementen 34 ein, so dass der massgebliche Randbereich der Stirnflächen 16a, 18, 20a der Walzen 16, 18, 20 vollständig mit Lösungsmittel benetzt wird und sich auch zwischen den Laufflächen der Abstreifelemente 34 und den Stirnflächen 16a, 18, 20a ein kontinuierlicher Lösungsmittelfilm ausbilden kann.During operation of the inking unit 10 is one of the stripping 34 of the two color scrapers 28 of the end face 18a of the inking roller 18 and the other stripping element 34 of the end face 16a and 20a of the adjacent to the inking roller 18 metering roller 16 and transfer roller 20 in abrading contact. From the solvent reservoir 44, solvent is passed through the solvent line 40 to the Farbabstreifem 28 and sprayed through the outlet openings 42 against the end faces 16a, 18, 20a of the respective rollers 16, 18, 20. A portion of the sprayed solvent also enters the gap 36 between the two stripping elements 34, so that the substantial edge region of the end faces 16a, 18, 20a of the rollers 16, 18, 20 is completely wetted with solvent and also between the running surfaces of the stripping elements 34 and the end faces 16a, 18, 20a can form a continuous solvent film.

Da das auf die Stirnflächen der Walzen aufgesprühte Lösungsmittel und die von diesem aufgelösten Reste des Auftragsmaterials durch die infolge der schnellen Rotation der Walzen auftretenden Zentrifugalkräfte radial weggeschleudert werden, ist zumindest der Stirnbereich der Farbauftragswalze 18 mit den Abstreifern 28 zusätzlich mit einer Spritzschutzkappe 46 abgedeckt. Die Spritzschutzkappe 46 weist Ableitflächen 48 zur Rückführung des Lösungsmittels und der darin rückgelösten Reste des Auftragsmaterials auf.Since the solvent sprayed onto the end faces of the rollers and the residues of the application material dissolved therefrom are radially thrown off by the centrifugal forces which occur as a result of the rapid rotation of the rollers are at least the front area of the inking roller 18 is covered with the scrapers 28 additionally with a splash guard 46. The splash guard 46 has discharge surfaces 48 for recycling the solvent and the residues of the application material which have been redissolved therein.

Zusätzlich zu den in die Farbabstreifer 28 integrierten Lösungsmittelleitungen 40 können in Bereichen mit erhöhter Ablagerung von überschüssigem Auftragsmaterial mit dem Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter 44 in Verbindung stehende Lösungsmittelsprührohre 50 mit Auslassöffnungen für das Lösungsmittel angeordnet sein. Ein zwischen die Lösungsmittelleitungen 40 bzw. die Lösungsmittelsprührohre 50 und den Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter 44 geschaltetes Durchflussüberwachungsgerät 52 misst und steuert die Lösungsmittelzufuhr vom Lösungsmittel-Vorratsbehälter 44 zu den Abstreifern 28 in Abhängigkeit von der Umfanggeschwindigkeit der Walzen. Hierzu ist das Durchflussüberwachungsgerät 52 mit einem beispielsweise die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit der Auftragswalze 18 bestimmenden Drehzahlmesser 54 verbunden.In addition to the solvent lines 40 integrated into the paint scrapers 28, solvent spray pipes 50 having solvent outlet ports 50 may be disposed in areas of increased deposition of excess coating material with the solvent reservoir 44. A flow monitor 52 connected between the solvent lines 40 and the solvent spray tubes 50 and the solvent reservoir 44 measures and controls the solvent supply from the solvent reservoir 44 to the scrapers 28 in response to the peripheral speed of the rolls. For this purpose, the flow monitoring device 52 is connected to a tachometer 54 which, for example, determines the rotational speed of the application roller 18.

Bei dem in Fig. 4 gezeigten Auftragswerk sind die drei Walzen 16, 18, 20 senkrecht übereinander angeordnet. Deutlich erkennbar ist die Lage des Abstreifers 28 mit der in der gemeinsamen Tangentialebene der Berührungslinie des vom Abstreifer 28 bearbeiteten Walzenpaares 18, 20 liegenden Winkelhalbierenden w der dreieckförmigen Grundplatte 32 des Abstreifers 28. Fig. 4 zeigt zudem die Übertragung von Auftragsmaterial auf eine durch den Spalt der Walzen 18, 20 geführte und zu bedruckende Materialbahn 56.At the in Fig. 4 shown commission, the three rollers 16, 18, 20 are arranged vertically above one another. Clearly visible is the position of the wiper 28 with the in the common tangential plane of the line of contact of the scraper 28 machined roller pair 18, 20 lying bisectors w of the triangular base plate 32 of the scraper 28th Fig. 4 also shows the transfer of application material on a guided through the nip of the rollers 18, 20 and to be printed material web 56th

Das vorstehend beschriebene und in der Zeichnung dargestellte Auftragswerk 10 mit Abstreifern 28 ist universell einsetzbar und geeignet für die Übertragung einer Vielzahl von lösungsmittelhaltigen Stoffen mittels eines aus Walzen aufgebauten Auftragswerkes auf eine Materialbahn. Neben Druckfarben können dies beispielsweise Kleber, Lacke sowie weitere lösungsmittelhaltige Materialien sein.The above-described and shown in the drawing applicator 10 with scrapers 28 is universally applicable and suitable for the transfer of a variety of solvent-containing materials by means of a built-up rollers from commissioned work on a web. In addition to printing inks, these may be, for example, adhesives, paints and other solvent-containing materials.
