Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model relates to a gravure printing inking technology, in particular to a control system for inking a gravure printing machine. [Background technology]

[0002] In the prior art, gravure printing machines are widely used because of their fast printing speed and ability to overprint multiple color groups. When working, the gravure printing machine includes multiple printing units according to the color groups, and each overprinting unit includes an embossing roller and a printing carriage. When the printing carriage of each printing unit is working, the ink contained in the gravure pits of the printing roller on the printing carriage is directly embossed onto the substrate through the embossing roller.

[0003] In the gravure printing process, bubbles will inevitably be generated in the ink tank, attached to the printing roller, and burst when running to the scraper, causing the dots of the image to disappear, and the image to be missing or polluted in the form of water marks. The reasons for the bubbles are: first, the ink surface tension is too high and the ink viscosity is not appropriate; second, the ink circulation system is defective, the fluidity is poor, air is sucked in, the ink drop is too large, and the impact causes bubbles. After the bubbles overflow or burst, they are transferred to the substrate, which will cause large-area or full-page printed products to appear mottled or polished, affecting the quality of the printed material, causing the printed surface to be uneven, causing damage to the surface, increasing the defective rate, and affecting economic benefits.

[0004] In addition, with the increasing attention paid to environmental protection requirements and the continuous improvement of product hygiene and safety requirements, the original solvent ink in gravure printing is basically required to be changed to water-based ink. However, water-based ink is easily generated in the ink due to the high-speed rotation of the printing plate during the printing process. Bubbles are especially prominent with the widespread use of water-based snowflake ink and water-based matte ink, resulting in poor ink application and uneven appearance and other quality problems, which seriously affect the quality of gravure printing. In view of the above technical problems, the existing solutions often place plastic stirring rods or magnetic stirring rods in the ink tank to assist in eliminating bubbles, but the effect is not obvious, and bubbles will still accumulate in the ink tank and ink barrel in large quantities. [Contents of the utility model]

[0005] The embodiment of the utility model provides a control system for inking a gravure printing machine. By adding a reflux channel and increasing the ink circulation rate, the time that bubbles stay in the ink tank is reduced, and the contact between the bubbles and the printing plate of the printing roller is reduced, thereby eliminating the bubbles generated on the printing roller when the ink is quickly inked, improving the printing flatness and printing accuracy of the plate, effectively reducing the defective product rate, and improving work efficiency.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by at least one embodiment of the utility model is:

[0007] A control system for inking a gravure printing machine, used for bubble-free inking on a gravure printing machine, comprising a printing roller and a scraper printing carriage, wherein the scraper printing carriage is arranged on the lower side of the embossing roller on each group of overprinting color group units and can be pushed out and propelled from the side; and further comprising:

[0008] The scraper printing carriage is cantilevered on the upper side of the top to form an ink groove along the axial direction of the embossing roller on each group of overprinting color group units, which is used to hold the ink required for inking the overprinting color group units.

[0009] The lower side and both ends of the ink tank are formed into a bucket-shaped ink return collection bucket for collecting overflow and discharging ink at a certain discharge rate;

[0010] The printing roller is located directly below the embossing roller on each group of overprinting color group units and is coaxially mounted with the embossing roller and rotatably installed in the ink tank;

[0011] The ink tank is provided with at least one reflux leakage hole located below the rear side of the printing roller and at a distance from the bottom of the ink tank to two-thirds of the distance from the bottom of the ink tank in the direction of the ink tank edge, along the axial direction of the printing roller, for increasing the reflux amount of ink in the ink tank discharged into the ink reflux collection bucket and improving the ink circulation rate;

[0012] The ink outlet area on the upper part of the ink tank is equipped with a scraper mechanism which is arranged along the axial direction of the printing roller and which moves and presses on the surface of the printing roller after the gap is adjusted to scrape off excess ink on the printing roller plate;

[0013] The bottom side of the lower end of the ink reflux collection bucket is connected to a pump pressure circulation ink supply device through a reflux elbow pipe to pump and filter the ink and continuously supply it to the inking area of ​​the printing roller in the ink tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the pump pressure circulation ink supply device comprises an ink storage box, an ink supply pump and an ink supply hose, and the ink storage box is installed at the lower part of the frame of the scraper printing carriage;

[0015] The ink supply pump is installed on the top side of the ink storage box and directly supplies ink to the ink tank through the connected ink supply hose;

[0016] The bottom side of the ink reflux collection hopper returns the ink after the printing roller is inked to the ink storage box through the connected reflux elbow pipe.

[0017] Furthermore, the end of the ink supply hose in the ink tank is also equipped with a gauze filter for filtering impurities and preventing air bubbles and impurities from entering.

[0018] Furthermore, the top side of the ink storage box is provided with a tank cover for adding ink into the box body.

[0019] Furthermore, the reflux leakage hole is a 200mm*20mm rectangular strip hole.

[0020] The beneficial effects of at least one embodiment of the utility model are:

[0021] In the utility model, through multiple reflux leakage holes on the ink groove, the ink reflux collection bucket and the pump pressure circulation ink supply device, when the ink amount in the ink groove reaches the required inking amount, the ink can quickly flow back to the ink storage box from the reflux leakage holes, so that the bubbles generated by the ink can quickly flow back to the ink storage box from the multiple reflux leakage holes on the ink groove, effectively avoiding the contact between the bubbles in the ink groove and the printing roller plate surface, eliminating the bubble problem generated by the ink during rapid inking, evenly distributing the ink on the printing roller plate surface, eliminating the flower plate defects generated by the printed product, and improving the printing quality.

[0022] In addition, a gauze filter is installed at the end of the ink supply hose in the ink tank, which can perform secondary filtration on the ink, effectively preventing bubbles and impurities from entering the ink, and further improving the printing quality.
