Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of web offset printing presses, and relates to a temperature control device for web offset printing presses. Background Technology

[0002] During prolonged printing, the surface temperature of the rubber sheet on a web offset printing press rises over time due to friction between the rubber sheets. Excessive temperature affects the durability of the rubber sheet and impacts print quality. Currently, domestic web offset printing presses generally use cooling water to circulate through the ink rollers, aiming to lower the ink temperature reaching the rubber sheet surface. However, this method can easily lead to slow ink drying and ink smudging on the printed product, further affecting print quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a temperature control device for a web offset printing press, which solves the problems of temperature rise on the surface of the rubber sheet and temperature control of the paper after printing and drying.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] This embodiment provides a temperature control device for a web offset printing press, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the upper rubber roller 6 and lower rubber roller 7 are located on the web offset printing press, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the device includes an upper housing 13 and a lower housing 16 arranged vertically opposite each other. Both the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 contain a thermoelectric cooler 10, positioned at the midpoint of their respective locations. Below each thermoelectric cooler 10 is a sponge strip mounting base 12, with sponge adhered to the base. Both the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 have at least two air inlets and at least two air outlets, each equipped with an axial fan 9. Both the axial fan 9 and the upper housing 13 are powered by an external power source. Part of the air outlets of the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 are opposite to the paper path 15 of the roll-to-roll offset printing press. Another part of the air outlet of the upper housing 13 is opposite to the rubber cloth on the upper rubber roller 6, and another air outlet of the lower housing 16 is opposite to the rubber cloth on the lower rubber roller 7, which can generate air contact. Part of the air inlet of the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 is opposite to the cold side of the semiconductor cooling chip 10, and another part of the air inlet of the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 is opposite to the hot side of the semiconductor cooling chip 10.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] This embodiment provides a temperature control device for a web offset printing press, based on Embodiment 1, such as... Figure 3 As shown, roller guard plates A3 and B4 are respectively provided on both sides of the upper box 13 and the lower box 16. Roller guard plate A3 is fixedly connected to the operating wall panel 1 of the roll-to-roll offset printing machine, and roller guard plate B4 is fixedly connected to the transmission wall panel 2 of the roll-to-roll offset printing machine. The upper box 13 is connected to roller guard plates A3 and B4 through positioning connectors and rotating connectors, and the lower box 16 is also connected to roller guard plates A3 and B4 through positioning connectors and rotating connectors.

[0024] Example 3

[0025] This embodiment provides a temperature control device for a web offset printing press, based on Embodiments 1 and 2, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the positioning connector includes a retractable spring shaft 20 fixed inside the roller guard plate A3 and roller guard plate B4, and also includes hooks provided on the side plates of the upper box 13 and the lower box 16. The hooks provided on the upper box 13 include hook A11, and the hooks provided on the lower box 16 include hooks B17 and hook C19, which are provided vertically. The retractable spring shaft 20 corresponds to the position of the hooks.

[0026] The rotating connector includes a composite sleeve fixing seat 21 fixed inside the roller guard plate A3 and roller guard plate B4. The composite sleeve fixing seat 21 is provided with a rotatable fixing block 14. The fixing blocks 14 are respectively fixed on the two side plates of the upper box 13 and the lower box 16. The composite sleeve fixing seat 21 and the rotatable fixing block 14 correspond one-to-one.

[0027] When loading or unloading the rubber sheet or printing plate, the upper box 13 and the lower box 16 can rotate by using the fixing block 14 as a fulcrum and inserting the fixing block 14 into the composite sleeve fixing seat 21 on the roller guard plate A3 and the roller guard plate B4. When the upper box 13 and the lower box 16 rotate to the corresponding position that does not affect loading or unloading, they can be hooked onto the telescopic spring shaft 20 on the roller guard plate A3 and the roller guard plate B4 by hooks A11, hook B17, and hook C19. After loading or unloading, the upper box 13 and the lower box 16 can be reset.

[0028] The working principle of the temperature control device for a web offset printing press of the present invention is as follows:

[0029] When the semiconductor cooling chip 10 is powered on, one side is cold and the other side is hot. The hot side has a better heat dissipation effect, and the temperature of the cold side is lower. Generally, the temperature difference between the cold and hot sides is about 60℃. The appearance and size can be customized. The material is ceramic, which is wear-resistant.

[0030] Both the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 are provided with two air inlets and two air outlets, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the axial fan 9 opposite to the cold side of the semiconductor cooling chip 10 is started, air is drawn in through the air inlets on the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16 and drawn to the cold side of the semiconductor cooling chip 10. At this time, the air is rapidly cooled. The cold air comes into contact with the rubber cloth on the upper rubber roller through the air outlets on the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16, thereby cooling the rubber cloth. Low-temperature areas are formed in the air outlets of the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16, near the upper rubber roller 6, near the lower rubber roller 7, below the upper printing plate roller 5, and above the lower printing plate roller 8.

[0031] When the axial fan 9, which is opposite to the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 10, is turned on, air is drawn into the hot surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 10 through another air inlet on the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16. At this time, the air is rapidly heated. The hot air comes into contact with the paper path 15 through another air outlet on the upper housing 13 and the lower housing 16, heating the paper and forming a hot zone in the area formed by the side of the upper housing 13, the side of the lower housing 16, and the paper path 15, thus realizing the drying function of the paper after printing.

[0032] When cold or hot air comes into contact with the hot or cold side of the thermoelectric cooler 10 and the temperature difference is large, condensation may occur. The corresponding sponge below it is to absorb any condensation that may occur. If so, the sponge strip should be replaced periodically. When the paper speed changes, the temperature of the cold and hot sides of the thermoelectric cooler 10 can be adjusted by controlling the speed of the axial fan 9, thereby controlling the surface temperature of the rubber sheet and the temperature of the low-temperature area and the hot area near the paper path 15.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, the present invention is a temperature control device for a roll-to-roll offset printing press, used for cooling the surface of the rubber sheet of the roll-to-roll offset printing press and for drying the paper after printing. By controlling the temperature, the optimal print quality of different types of paper can be obtained, while ensuring the print quality under high-intensity and high-efficiency working conditions.
