Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a printing machine, and, more particularly, to an intaglio printing machine.
- FIG. 2 shows a schematic configuration of a conventional intaglio printing.
- As shown in FIG. 2, a root-end portion of a sheet feeder table 121 is connected to a
sheet feeder 110 for feeding a stack of sheets, which are sheet-like materials, one by one. Aswing unit 122 is disposed on a projected-end portion of the sheet feeder table 121. Theswing unit 122 is adapted to transfer the sheets, one at a time, to an unillustrated gripper device disposed on atransfer cylinder 123. Thetransfer cylinder 123 is in contact with atransfer cylinder 124 having an unillustrated gripper device. Thetransfer cylinder 123 is adapted to transfer the sheet held by the gripper device thereof to the gripper device of thetransfer cylinder 124. - The
transfer cylinder 124 is in contact with animpression cylinder 131 having an unillustrated gripper device. Thetransfer cylinder 124 is adapted to transfer the sheet held by the gripper device thereof to the gripper device of theimpression cylinder 131. Anintaglio cylinder 132 is in contact with theimpression cylinder 131 while being located downstream of thetransfer cylinder 124 with respect to the direction of rotation of theimpression cylinder 131.Chablon rollers 134a to 134c are in contact with theintaglio cylinder 132 while being located downstream of theimpression cylinder 131 with respect to the direction of rotation of theintaglio cylinder 132, and are arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of theintaglio cylinder 132. The chablon rollers 134 are equipped with ink supplying units 135a to 135c, respectively. - A
wiping roller 136 is in contact with theintaglio cylinder 132 while being located downstream of thechablon roller 134c with respect to the direction of rotation of theintaglio cylinder 132. A lower portion of thewiping roller 136 is immersed in a wiping liquid contained in awiping tank 137. - A
delivery cylinder 141 constituted by a rotatably disposed sprocket is in contact with theimpression cylinder 131 while being located downstream of theintaglio cylinder 132 with respect to the direction of rotation of theimpression cylinder 131. An endless chain 144 is looped around the sprocket of thedelivery cylinder 141 while being guided by an unillustrated chain guide and looped around an unillustrated sprocket. A plurality of unillustrated gripper bars for receiving the sheets from the gripper device of theimpression cylinder 131 are mounted on the chain 144 at predetermined intervals along the direction of travel of the chain 144. A plurality ofdelivery units 150 serving as stacker means are disposed under the chain 144. - In the above-described intaglio printing machine, when a sheet is fed onto the sheet feeder table 121 from the
sheet feeder 110, the sheet is transferred to thetransfer cylinder 123 by theswing unit 122 and is then transferred to theimpression cylinder 131 from thetransfer cylinder 123 via thetransfer cylinder 124. Meanwhile, when ink is supplied from the ink supplying units 135a to 135c to theintaglio cylinder 132 via thechablon rollers 134a to 134c, respectively, excess ink is removed by thewiping roller 136. The thus-supplied ink is transferred onto the sheet held on theimpression cylinder 131. The thus-printed sheet is transferred to thedelivery cylinder 141 from theimpression cylinder 131. Subsequently, the printed sheet is gripped by one of the gripper bars of the chain 144. The thus-gripped sheet is transferred to a position located above thedelivery unit 150 as the chain 144 travels as a result of rotation of the sprockets. - In the above-described conventional intaglio printing machine, in order to facilitate maintenance and inspection of the
chablon rollers 134a to 134c and the ink supplying units 135a to 135c, the ink supplying units 135a to 135c can be moved in a reciprocating manner so as to be moved away from thechablon rollers 134a to 134c, to thereby form a work space between thechablon rollers 134a to 134c and the ink supplying units 135a to 135c. Accordingly, a retreat space for accommodating the retreated ink supplying units 135a to 135c must be established between the printing section and the delivery section. As a result, the distance between the printing section and the delivery section becomes very long; i.e., the overall size of the printing machine becomes very big. - In view of the foregoing, an object of the present invention is to provide a printing machine capable of assuming a compact overall size.
- To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a printing machine comprising a first cylinder for holding a sheet-like material; a second cylinder in contact with a lower portion of the first cylinder and adapted to print on the sheet-like material in cooperation with the first cylinder; ink supplying means for supplying ink to the second cylinder; stacker means for stacking the printed sheet-like materials; and transport means for transporting the sheet-like material from the first cylinder to the stacker means. The printing machine is characterized in that the stacker means is disposed above the ink supplying means.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of an intaglio printing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention; and
- FIG. 2 is a schematic structural view of a conventional intaglio printing machine.
-
- An intaglio printing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will next be described with reference to FIG. 1.
- As shown in FIG. 1, a root-end portion of a sheet feeder table 21 is connected to a
sheet feeder 10 for feeding a stack ofsheets 100, which are sheet-like materials, one by one. Aswing unit 22 is disposed on a projected-end portion of the sheet feeder table 21. Theswing unit 22 is adapted to transfer thesheets 100, one at a time, to an unillustrated gripper device disposed on atransfer cylinder 23. Thetransfer cylinder 23 is in contact with atransfer cylinder 24 having an unillustrated gripper device. Thetransfer cylinder 23 is adapted to transfer thesheet 100 held by the gripper device thereof to the gripper device of thetransfer cylinder 24. Thetransfer cylinder 24 is in contact with atransfer cylinder 25 having an unillustrated gripper device. Thetransfer cylinder 24 is adapted to transfer thesheet 100 held by the gripper device thereof to the gripper device of thetransfer cylinder 25. - The
transfer cylinder 25 is in contact with an upper portion of a triple-size impression cylinder 31 having an unillustrated gripper device and serving as a first cylinder. The diameter of the triple-size impression cylinder 31 is three times that ofchablon rollers 34a to 34c. Thetransfer cylinder 25 is adapted to transfer a sheet held by the gripper device thereof to the unillustrated gripper device of theimpression cylinder 31. A triple-size intaglio cylinder 32 serving as a second cylinder is in contact with a substantially lower portion of theimpression cylinder 31 which is located downstream of thetransfer cylinder 25 with respect to the direction of rotation of theimpression cylinder 31. The diameter of the triple-size intaglio cylinder 32 is three times that of thechablon rollers 34a to 34c. Anink collection cylinder 33 is in contact with a side portion of theintaglio cylinder 32 which is located downstream of theimpression cylinder 31 with respect to the direction of rotation of theintaglio cylinder 32. Thechablon cylinders 34a to 34c are in contact with the corresponding side portions of theink collection cylinder 33 which are located downstream of theintaglio cylinder 32 with respect to the direction of rotation of theink collection cylinder 33, and are arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of theink collection cylinder 33. Ink supplying units 35a to 35c are located at the respective positions corresponding to the respective side portions of the chablon rollers 33a to 34c which are located downstream of theink collection cylinder 33 with respect to the direction of rotation of the chablon rollers 33a to 34c. - In the present embodiment, the
ink collection cylinder 33, thechablon rollers 34a to 34c, and the ink supplying units 35a to 35c constitute ink supplying means. - A
wiping roller 36 is in contact with theintaglio cylinder 32 while being located downstream of theink collection cylinder 33 with respect to the direction of rotation of theintaglio cylinder 32. A lower portion of thewiping roller 36 is immersed in a wiping liquid contained in awiping tank 37. - A
delivery cylinder 41 is in contact with an upper portion of theimpression cylinder 31 while being located downstream of theintaglio cylinder 32 with respect to the direction of rotation of theimpression cylinder 31. Thedelivery cylinder 41 includes asprocket 42 such that thedelivery cylinder 41 and thesprocket 42 are coaxial and can rotate as a single unit. Asprocket 43 is disposed above the ink supplying unit 35a. Anendless chain 44 is looped around and extend between thesprockets gripper bars 45 for receiving thesheets 100 from the gripper device of theimpression cylinder 31 are mounted on thechain 44 at predetermined intervals along the direction of travel of thechain 44. - In the present embodiment, the
delivery cylinder 41, thesprockets chain 44, and thegripper bars 45 constitute transport means. - A plurality of pile tables 47 are disposed above the ink supplying means, such as the
ink collection cylinder 33, thechablon rollers 34a to 34c, and the ink supplying units 35a to 35c, and between and below thesprockets chains 46. In FIG. 1,reference numeral 48 denotes a suction wheel for decelerating the speed ofsheets 100 in the process of transport;reference numeral 49 denotes a fan; andreference numeral 50 denotes a guide plate capable of standing up and falling down. In the present embodiment, thechains 46, the pile tables 47, thesuction wheels 48, thefans 49, and theguide plates 50 constitute stacker means. - In the above-described intaglio printing machine, when the
sheet 100 is fed onto the sheet feeder table 21 from thesheet feeder 10, thesheet 100 is transferred to thetransfer cylinder 23 by theswing unit 22 and is then transferred to theimpression cylinder 31 from thetransfer cylinder 23 via thetransfer cylinders intaglio cylinder 32 via thechablon rollers 34a to 34c and theink collection cylinder 33, excess ink is removed by thewiping roller 36. The thus-supplied ink is transferred onto thesheet 100 held on theimpression cylinder 31. The thus-printedsheet 100 is transferred to thedelivery cylinder 41 from theimpression cylinder 31. Subsequently, thesheet 100 is gripped by one of the gripper bars 45. The thus-grippedsheet 100 is transferred to a position located above the ink feeding section as thechain 44 travels as a result of rotation of thesprockets - While the
sheet 100 is sucked at its tail side by thesuction wheel 48 associated with the selected pile table 47 to thereby be decelerated, and its front side released from a gripper of thegripper bar 45 is positioned by means of theguide plate 50, a descending air flow from thefan 49 causes thesheet 100 to drop, thereby piling thesheets 100 on the selected pile table 47. - That is, the pile tables 47 are disposed above the ink supplying means to thereby pile the
sheets 100 above the ink supplying means. - Thus, the overall length L1 between the feeder section (sheet feeder 10) and the delivery section including the stacker means (46, 47, 48, 49, and 50) can be substantially equal to the total length L2 of the feeder section and the printing section including the ink supplying means (33, 34a to 34c, and 35a to 35c).
- Accordingly, even in the case where, in order to maintain and inspect the
chablon rollers 34a to 34c and the ink supplying units 35a to 35c, the ink supplying units 35a to 35c are moved away from thechablon rollers 34a to 34c so as to establish a work space between thechablon rollers 34a to 34c and the ink supplying units 35a to 35c, the overall size of the printing machine can be rendered compact. Further, since the above-described length L1 is equal to the above-described length L2, an operator can easily remove printing paper and perform various operations, monitors, etc., for the printing machine during printing operation. - Since the
transfer cylinder 25 is in contact with an upper portion of theimpression cylinder 31, a peripheral space around theintaglio cylinder 32 and the wipingroller 36 can be expanded, thereby improving workability relative to maintenance and inspection of theintaglio cylinder 32 and the wipingroller 36. - A line connecting the center of the
transfer cylinder 25 in contact with theimpression cylinder 31 and the center of theimpression cylinder 31 and a line connecting the center of thedelivery cylinder 41 and the center of theimpression cylinder 31 form an angle less than 180°. As a result, when theimpression cylinder 31 is to be disengaged (released) from theplate cylinder 32 for restoration due to occurrence of, for example, a printing defect, thetransfer cylinder 25 prevents the disengagement of theimpression cylinder 31. Therefore, it is preferred to employ a structure such that disengagement of thetransfer cylinder 25 is effected in a manner linked to disengagement of the impression cylinder 31 (for this mechanism, refer to, for example, Japanese Patent No. 2591668). - The present embodiment is described while mentioning supply of ink from the ink supplying units 35a to 35c to the
intaglio cylinder 32 via thechablon rollers 34a to 34c and theink collection cylinder 33. However, theink collection cylinder 33 may be eliminated for supply of ink from the ink supplying units 35a to 35c to theintaglio cylinder 32 via thechablon rollers 34a to 34c. - The present embodiment is described while mentioning the plurality of pile tables 47. However, a single pile table may be employed according to the number of
sheets 100 to be printed. - The present embodiment is described while mentioning an intaglio printing machine. However, the present invention may be embodied in various printer forms; for example, letterpresses, offset printing presses, and perfectors.
- According to a printing machine of the present invention, since pile tables are disposed above ink supplying means, the overall size of the printing machine can be made compact. Further, since the overall length L1 between the feeder section and the delivery section can be substantially equal to the total length L2 of the feeder section and the printing section, various operations and monitors can be performed easily.
