Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing machines, in particular to a cooling device for an ink roller of a printing machine. Background Art
[0002] During the printing process, the ink roller of a printing press rotates circumferentially while moving axially, generating friction with other ink rollers, causing the roller surface temperature to rise. The faster the printing speed, the more severe the roller temperature rise. If the roller surface temperature is too high, the ink temperature will inevitably rise accordingly, increasing the ink fluidity, decreasing the viscosity, and weakening the water resistance. This will cause the ink to over-emulsify, seriously affecting the quality of the printed product. Therefore, the roller temperature must be controlled. Cooling water should be passed through the hollow roller to cool it.

The ink roller cooling device proposed by the utility model has a simple structure, low cost, easy disassembly and maintenance, smooth water circulation, low system pressure, and is safe and reliable.
[0004] While the aforementioned patent disclosure can cool the ink roller, in practice, backflow can sometimes occur due to unstable pressure in the cooling circuit. This backflow not only affects the cooling effect but can also cause unstable operation of the equipment and even damage it. Utility Model Content

[0038] Combine Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a cooling device for an inking roller of a printing press includes a hollow rubber roller 1, an iron core 2, a first water inlet pipe 3 and a blocking component 4.
[0039] The iron core 2 is sleeved in the hollow rubber roller 1, and a flow channel cavity 21 is opened in the iron core 2, and a one-way valve groove structure 22 is opened on both sides of the flow channel cavity 21; the first water inlet pipe 3 is arranged between the two one-way valve groove structures 22, and one end of the first water inlet pipe 3 extends to the outside of the iron core 2; the sealing component 4 is arranged on one side of the flow channel cavity 21, and the sealing component 4 is in contact with the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe 3.
[0040] Among them, by arranging a first water inlet pipe 3 in the iron core 2 and opening a one-way valve slot structure 22 on both sides of the flow channel cavity 21 in the iron core 2, a liquid inlet channel is formed under the action of the first water inlet pipe 3, and a coolant reflux channel is formed under the action of the one-way valve slot structure 22, wherein the one-way valve slot can ensure that the cooling water only flows in one direction in the cooling circuit, thereby effectively avoiding the reflux phenomenon of the cooling water due to unstable pressure in the circuit. At the same time, the unidirectional flowing cooling water can more effectively absorb and transfer heat, improve the cooling efficiency, and thus ensure that the ink roller of the printing press will not overheat when running at high speed; by arranging a sealing component 4 on one side of the inner cavity of the flow channel cavity 21, under the action of the sealing component 4, the first water inlet pipe 3 can be effectively prevented from reflux, so as to ensure that the entire cooling system can only flow in one direction, thereby greatly improving the safety of the use of the cooling system.
[0041] To further explain, the one-way valve slot structure 22 is a Tesla structure. The Tesla Valve is a fluid valve without moving parts, invented by Nikola Tesla. Its unique design makes the fluid have low resistance to forward flow and high resistance to reverse flow when passing through the valve, thereby achieving one-way flow control. The Tesla valve can automatically adjust the resistance according to the flow direction of the fluid, ensuring that the coolant has minimal resistance when flowing forward and maximum resistance when flowing reversely, thereby effectively preventing backflow. The design of the Tesla structure allows the fluid to pass smoothly when flowing forward, but is significantly hindered when flowing reversely, ensuring that the coolant only flows in one direction.
[0042] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the plugging assembly 4 includes a guide telescopic rod 41, a plugging head 42, and a spring 43. The plugging head 42 is mounted on one end of the guide telescopic rod 41 and contacts the outlet of the first water inlet pipe 3. The spring 43 is sleeved on the guide telescopic rod 41, with one end of the spring 43 abutting against a side wall of the flow channel cavity 21 and the other end abutting against the plugging head 42. The plugging head 42 has a conical structure.
[0043] Among them, the guiding telescopic rod can ensure that the sealing head 42 is accurately aligned with the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe 3, maintaining the correct position and direction. The design of the conical structure of the sealing head enables it to tightly seal the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe 3 to prevent the coolant from flowing out when not needed. Under the action of the spring 43, it is ensured that the coolant will not flow back into the first water inlet pipe 3, achieving the effect that the first water inlet pipe 3 can only flow in the forward direction. The function of the spring is to provide continuous thrust to ensure that the sealing head is always tightly fitted to the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe.
[0044] When the system is not operating or coolant flow is not required, the plugging head, under the action of the spring, tightly seals the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe to prevent coolant from flowing out. When the system is started and coolant flow is required, the fluid pressure increases, pushing the plugging head away from the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe, allowing coolant to flow out. The coolant then applies a thrust to the plugging head, compressing its spring and opening the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe. Coolant can then flow from the first water inlet pipe into the flow channel cavity. Due to the conical design of the plugging head, it automatically resets under the action of the spring thrust, ensuring the unidirectional flow direction of the coolant and preventing backflow.
[0045] Combine Figure 2 As shown, a sealing cylindrical shaft 5 is threadedly sleeved on one end of the iron core 2, and a guide telescopic rod 41 is provided on one side of the sealing cylindrical shaft 5 embedded in the flow channel cavity 21, and one end of the spring 43 abuts against the sealing cylindrical shaft 5. Since the sealing cylindrical shaft 5 is threadedly connected to the iron core 2, the sealing component 4 can be detachably installed under the action of the sealing cylindrical shaft 5.
[0046] Combine Figure 1 As shown, printing press wall panels 6 are provided at both ends of the iron core 2, with one end of the iron core 2 rotatably mounted on one of the printing press wall panels 6, and one end of the blocking cylindrical shaft 5 rotatably mounted on the other printing press wall panel 6. A rotary joint 7 is rotatably connected to the side of the iron core 2 opposite the blocking cylindrical shaft 5. A second water inlet pipe 71 is connected to the lower portion of the rotary joint 7, and a return pipe 72 is connected to one side of the second water inlet pipe 71. The second water inlet pipe 71 is connected to the first water inlet pipe 3, and the inner cavity of the return pipe 72 is connected to the inner cavity of the one-way valve slot structure 22.
[0047] Among them, the flow path of the fluid is that the second water inlet pipe introduces the fluid into the system and is connected to the first water inlet pipe to ensure a smooth supply of the fluid. When the system starts, the pressure of the coolant increases, which is enough to overcome the resistance provided by the spring 43 in the sealing assembly 4, so that the sealing head 42 is moved away from the outlet end of the first water inlet pipe 3, and the coolant then flows into the flow channel cavity 21 inside the iron core 2. During this process, the coolant will absorb the heat generated by the iron core 2 and the hollow rubber roller 1 to achieve a cooling effect. After the cooling process, the coolant continues to flow to the other end of the iron core 2, and will pass through the one-way valve slot structure 22 on the way. These structures are designed as Tesla valves to ensure that the coolant can only flow in one direction to prevent backflow. The return pipe 72 is connected to the one-way valve slot structure 22 to ensure that the coolant can be discharged smoothly after completing the cooling task, while preventing the coolant from flowing back into the system.
[0048] Continue to combine Figure 1As shown, a sealing ring 8 is provided between the connection between the rotary joint 7 and the iron core 2. The main function of the sealing ring 8 is to ensure that the coolant does not leak in the process of entering the iron core 2 through the rotary joint 7. Due to the restriction that the second water inlet pipe 71 and the return pipe 72 of the rotary joint 7 need to be connected to other external equipment, the rotary joint 7 will not rotate with the rotation of the iron core 2, but has a tendency to rotate relative to the rotation of the iron core 2. The sealing ring 8 can maintain good sealing performance under dynamic conditions, prevent the coolant from leaking from the joint, and ensure the sealing and reliability of the system. The sealing ring 8 is usually made of wear-resistant materials, such as rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE. These materials can provide a low-friction contact surface during the relative movement between the rotary joint 7 and the iron core 2, reduce wear, and extend the service life of the rotary joint and the iron core.
[0049] Combine Figure 3 As shown, a leakage sensor 9 is provided on one side of the sealing ring 8 , and the leakage sensor 9 is located in the inner cavity of the rotary joint 7 . The leakage sensor 9 is electrically connected to an audible and visual alarm 10 , and the audible and visual alarm 10 is provided on the outside of the rotary joint 7 .
[0050] Among them, the leakage sensor 9 is placed in the inner cavity of the rotary joint 7, close to the sealing ring 8, and the leakage sensor is fixed at an appropriate position in the inner cavity using an appropriate fixing device (such as a bracket, a clamp, etc.) to ensure that it can effectively detect leakage. The leakage sensor 9 can detect whether the sealing ring 8 inside the rotary joint 7 is leaking. When a poor seal causes a medium such as liquid or gas to leak, the leakage sensor can sense this change. The sound and light alarm 10 is installed on the outside of the rotary joint 7, at a position where the operator can easily observe and hear the alarm signal. The leakage sensor 9 is electrically connected to the sound and light alarm 10 through a wire or cable to ensure that the signal can be transmitted from the sensor to the alarm. Once a leak is detected, the leakage sensor 9 will be electrically connected to the sound and light alarm 10, triggering the alarm of the alarm, emitting sound and / or light signals, reminding the operator to pay attention to the leakage and take corresponding measures.
[0051] In some embodiments, in addition to using the leak sensor 9 to detect leaks, the following methods can also be used to detect leaks:
[0052] Pressure monitoring: Install a pressure sensor to monitor the cooling system pressure. If the system pressure drops abnormally, it may indicate a leak.
[0053] Flow Monitoring: Use a flow meter to monitor the flow of coolant. If the flow is lower than expected, it may mean there is a leak in the system.
[0054] Temperature monitoring: Install a temperature sensor to monitor the coolant temperature. If the temperature of a certain part rises abnormally, it may indicate a leak causing coolant loss.
[0055] Humidity or moisture detection: In some cases, a humidity sensor can be used to detect changes in humidity around the cooling system. If the humidity increases, it may indicate a coolant leak.
[0056] Ultrasonic testing: Ultrasonic testing equipment is used to detect the ultrasonic waves generated by the flow of coolant in the system. The leak point will produce a specific ultrasonic signal that can be used to locate the leak.
[0057] Visual inspection: Observe the cooling system for obvious signs of leaks through regular manual inspections or video monitoring systems.
[0058] Infrared thermal imaging inspection: Use an infrared thermal imager to inspect the heat distribution of the cooling system. Leakage areas may show different thermal image characteristics.
[0059] Specifically, leak sensors can usually be capacitive, resistive, photoelectric or ultrasonic sensors:
[0060] Capacitive sensors: These change capacitance by detecting the presence of a medium, such as coolant. When there is a leak, the medium contacts the sensor, causing the capacitance to change, triggering an alarm.
[0061] Resistive sensors: Detect leaks by using changes in the conductivity of the medium. When the leaking medium contacts the sensor, the resistance value changes, triggering an alarm.
[0062] Photoelectric sensors detect the presence of media by emitting and receiving light beams. Leaking media blocks the beam, causing a change in light intensity at the receiving end, triggering an alarm.
[0063] Ultrasonic sensor: emits ultrasonic waves and receives reflected waves. The leak point will generate specific reflected signals, which are analyzed to detect leaks.
[0064] Combine Figure 4 As shown, the working principle of leak detection is as follows:
[0065] The leak sensor monitors the status of the inner cavity of the rotary joint 7 in real time. Once a leak is detected in the sealing ring 8, it immediately generates an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the sound and light alarm 10 via wires or cables. To ensure the stability and anti-interference of signal transmission, shielded cables are usually used. The sound and light alarm 10 has a built-in signal processing unit that amplifies, filters, and determines the threshold of the received signal to confirm whether the alarm condition has been met. When the signal processing unit confirms that the alarm condition has been met, it triggers the working circuit of the sound and light alarm 10, and the alarm emits sound and / or light signals to alert the operator. The sound alarm usually uses a high-frequency buzzer, and the light alarm uses a high-brightness LED light.

Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
