Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of offset sleeves of rotary printing presses, and particularly relates to a stable blanket cylinder offset sleeve device for a rotary printing press. Background Art

[0002] As an efficient printing device, one of the core working principles of a rotary printing press is to change the central position of the printing cylinder by rotating the offset sleeve. This change mechanism enables the printing cylinder to be in close contact with the impression cylinder during the printing process, that is, to reach the impression state. The stability of the impression state directly determines the printing stability and quality. When the offset sleeve rotates to a specific position, the center lines of the printing cylinder and the impression cylinder are aligned, and a uniform contact pressure is formed between them, ensuring that the graphic can be accurately transferred to the printed material.

[0003] Before the printing starts, the offset sleeve will rotate to a suitable position according to a preset program or operation instruction, so that the printing cylinder is in close contact with the impression cylinder. This process is called impression, and it is a key step to ensure printing quality and stability. When a printing task is completed or the printing plate needs to be replaced, the printing cylinder needs to change from the impression state to a non-contact state for plate replacement, cleaning or other maintenance operations. This process is called off-impression. To achieve off-impression, a mechanism is needed to generate enough clearance between the offset sleeve and the wallboard to allow the printing cylinder to move freely.

[0004] During the actual operation of the rotary printing press, the high-speed rotation of the bearings will generate a large amount of heat, which will cause the internal materials of the printing press to expand and contract thermally. For the offset sleeve, its diameter will increase after being heated and expanded, and then the clearance between it and the wallboard hole will decrease. This reduction in clearance may, in extreme cases, cause the offset sleeve to fail to separate smoothly when off-impression is required, that is, the problem of inability to achieve off-impression occurs. The inability to achieve off-impression will directly affect the plate-changing efficiency and overall working performance of the rotary printing press. Because if the printing plate cannot be replaced in time, the printing press will not be able to continue to perform new printing tasks, resulting in production delays and increased costs.

[0005] To solve the problem of the offset sleeve being unable to achieve off-impression, the existing technology mainly adopts the method of increasing the clearance between the offset sleeve and the wallboard hole. By reserving a larger clearance at the design stage to ensure that there is still enough space for the offset sleeve to move during off-impression. However, although this method can alleviate the problem of inability to achieve off-impression to a certain extent, it also brings new challenges. An excessive clearance may cause the cylinder to jump during the printing process, thereby affecting printing quality and stability. For example, cylinder jumping may cause printing defects such as bars and ghosting, reducing the quality of printed products.

[0006] Therefore, how to ensure the smooth release of the eccentric sleeve while avoiding the drum bounce has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0038] The clutch pressure cylinder 13 is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 16 and / or the solenoid valve 2 17, and is used to drive the clutch pressure connecting rod 5 to swing under the control of the solenoid valve, and then drive the eccentric sleeve 62 to rotate to achieve clutch pressure;

[0039] The pressure regulating valve 14 is arranged on the hydraulic output path of the gas-liquid booster 12 and is used to adjust the hydraulic output pressure to ensure that the hydraulic unit 11 applies a stable force to the eccentric sleeve 62;

[0040] The one-way valve 15 is arranged on the hydraulic pipe 3 to control the one-way flow of hydraulic pressure and prevent hydraulic backflow.

[0041] The hydraulic unit is provided with a hydraulic circuit 101, wherein the hydraulic circuit 101 includes a hydraulic pipe 3, a hydraulic unit component 11 and a gas-liquid booster 12; the hydraulic pipe 3 connects the gas-liquid booster 12 and the hydraulic unit component 11 to form a hydraulic transmission channel; during the pressurization process, the gas-liquid booster 12 converts the gas pressure into hydraulic energy, which is transmitted to the hydraulic unit component 11 through the hydraulic pipe 3, driving the hydraulic unit component 11 to extend, support the eccentric sleeve 62, and stabilize it on the wall panel.

[0042] The hydraulic unit is provided with a decompression circuit 102, wherein the decompression circuit 102 includes a solenoid valve 17, a one-way valve 15, a hydraulic unit component 11, a gas-liquid booster 12 and a possible connection part of a clutch pressure cylinder 13; the solenoid valve 17 and the one-way valve 15 control the flow direction of the gas or liquid; during the decompression process, the solenoid valve 17 opens in response to the decompression signal, allowing the gas to return to the gas-liquid booster 12 through the one-way valve 15, and at the same time, the hydraulic energy in the hydraulic unit component 11 is released, the hydraulic unit component 11 retracts, and the fixing force on the eccentric sleeve 62 is released, so that the eccentric sleeve 62 can rotate smoothly to achieve decompression.

[0043] The hydraulic unit is provided with a pressure - closing circuit 103, where the pressure - closing circuit 103 includes solenoid valve 16, pressure - regulating valve 14, air - liquid intensifier 12 and hydraulic unit component 11; solenoid valve 16 and pressure - regulating valve 14 jointly control the inflow of gas and the generation of hydraulic pressure; after receiving the pressure - closing signal, solenoid valve 16 opens, allowing gas to enter air - liquid intensifier 12, which is regulated by pressure - regulating valve 14 and then converted into hydraulic energy, and is transmitted to hydraulic unit component 11 through hydraulic pipe 3 to drive it to extend and press against eccentric sleeve 62, completing the pressure - closing action.

[0044] The utility model can achieve precise and stable control of pressure - closing and pressure - releasing through an intelligent control system and efficient air - liquid boosting technology. Through the coordinated operation of key components such as hydraulic unit component 11, air - liquid intensifier 12, pressure - regulating valve 14, check valve 15 and clutch - pressure cylinder 13, the offset sleeve 62 device of the rotary printing machine's stable rubber cylinder can efficiently and reliably complete printing tasks. The specific steps of the pressure - closing process are described as follows:

[0045] The eccentric sleeve 62 assembly 66 has been installed between the operation - side wallboard 63 and the drive - side wallboard 64, and the eccentric sleeve 62 is rotatably connected to the wallboard hole through a pressing piece 61. The hydraulic unit component 11 is in an initial state and does not apply a fixing force to the eccentric sleeve 62.

[0046] When receiving the pressure - closing signal, solenoid valve 16 acts first, opening the gas passage to allow gas to enter air - liquid intensifier 12.

[0047] After the gas enters air - liquid intensifier 12, it is regulated by pressure - regulating valve 14 and converted into stable hydraulic energy. The pressure - regulating valve 14 ensures that the output hydraulic pressure is stable to adapt to different working requirements.

[0048] The hydraulic energy is transmitted to hydraulic unit component 11 through hydraulic pipe 3, driving hydraulic unit component 11 to extend. Hydraulic unit component 11 presses against eccentric sleeve 62, making it stably fixed on the wallboard, reaching the pressure - closing state.

[0049] During this process, the clutch - pressure cylinder 13 may perform a retraction action under the control of the solenoid valve to provide auxiliary support for the stable fixation of the eccentric sleeve 62.

[0050] The specific steps of the pressure - releasing process are described as follows:

[0051] When receiving the pressure - releasing signal, solenoid valve 17 responds and opens, and at the same time solenoid valve 16 may also participate in the control process.

[0052] When solenoid valve 17 opens, it allows gas to return to air - liquid intensifier 12 through check valve 15, realizing the reverse flow of gas. The check valve 15 ensures that the hydraulic pressure does not flow back, guaranteeing the stability of the system.

[0053] As the gas returns to the gas-liquid booster 12, the hydraulic energy in the hydraulic unit 11 is gradually released. The hydraulic unit 11 retracts, releasing the fixing force on the eccentric sleeve 62 and enabling it to rotate freely.

[0054] The clutch cylinder 13 drives the clutch link 5 to swing under the control of the solenoid valve, and then drives the eccentric sleeve 62 to rotate. When the eccentric sleeve 62 rotates to an appropriate position, the off-pressure is achieved and the printing cylinder is separated from the impression cylinder.

[0055] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
