Description

本発明は、印刷版胴に刷版を装着して印刷を行う印刷機、とくにカラー化及び多ページ化に伴い多数の刷版を用いる新聞輪転機等において、印刷版胴に対する刷版の装着位置確認作業の軽減を可能にするための刷版装着位置識別方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a printing press for mounting a printing plate on a printing plate cylinder, particularly a newspaper rotary press that uses a large number of printing plates in association with colorization and multi-page printing. The present invention relates to a printing plate mounting position identification method that enables reduction of confirmation work.

印刷版胴に刷版を装着して印刷を行う印刷機の代表的な例として、新聞輪転機があり、その概略構成(両面印刷を行うための1つの印刷ユニット)を図5に示す。図5の印刷ユニットは刷版が装着される印刷版胴31とこれに接して印刷版胴31の反対向きに回転するブランケット胴32とを一対有し、さらに印刷版胴31にインキを付着させるインキ着けローラー33、印刷版胴31に水を付着させる水着けローラー34が設けられている。また、詳細は省略するがインキ循環装置35のインキをインキ着けローラー33に供給するための各種ローラーが設けられている。そして、印刷版胴31に巻き付け装着された刷版の印刷内容がブランケット胴32を介して紙40に転写されるオフセット印刷機構となっている。   A typical example of a printing machine that performs printing by mounting a printing plate on a printing plate cylinder is a newspaper rotary press, and its schematic configuration (one printing unit for performing double-sided printing) is shown in FIG. The printing unit shown in FIG. 5 has a pair of a printing plate cylinder 31 on which a printing plate is mounted and a blanket cylinder 32 that contacts and contacts the printing plate cylinder 31 and rotates in the opposite direction to the printing plate cylinder 31, and further attaches ink to the printing plate cylinder 31. An ink form roller 33 and a water form roller 34 for attaching water to the printing plate cylinder 31 are provided. Although not described in detail, various rollers for supplying ink of the ink circulation device 35 to the ink form roller 33 are provided. The printing contents of the printing plate wound around the printing plate cylinder 31 are transferred to the paper 40 via the blanket cylinder 32 to provide an offset printing mechanism.

前記刷版は、高純度のアルミニウム板にあらかじめ感光性物質が塗布されたPS刷版(Pre-Sensitized Plate)を用い、印刷内容を露光、現像、ガム引きして作製する。印刷版胴31には前記刷版が通常複数装着される。つまり、印刷版胴31は複数の刷版装着位置を有している。また、図5は新聞輪転機の1つの印刷ユニットであり、通常の新聞輪転機はこの印刷ユニットを多数組み合わせた構成となっている。とくに、最近の印刷物の多ページ、カラー化等により新聞輪転機1構成当たりの刷版取り付け枚数が増加し(カラーの場合、一印刷面当たり、黄、紅、藍、黒の4種類のPS刷版が必要)、誤装着による印刷ミスが多発している。例えば、新聞輪転機48ページ、フルカラーの場合、最大192枚の装着であるが、焼付済PS刷版の判読は難しく、取り付けミスを誘発する。現在は刷版装着位置情報を製版オペレーターが刷版裏面に手書きして、印刷オペレーターに伝達しているが上記取り付けミスを無くすことは困難な状況である。   The printing plate is prepared by using a PS printing plate (Pre-Sensitized Plate) in which a photosensitive material is previously applied to a high-purity aluminum plate, and exposing, developing, and gumming the printing contents. A plurality of printing plates are usually mounted on the printing plate cylinder 31. That is, the printing plate cylinder 31 has a plurality of printing plate mounting positions. FIG. 5 shows one printing unit of a newspaper rotary press, and a normal newspaper rotary press has a configuration in which a number of printing units are combined. In particular, the number of plates attached per newspaper rotary press configuration has increased due to the recent increase in the number of printed pages and colorization (in the case of color, four types of PS printing, yellow, red, indigo and black, per printed surface). Plate is necessary), and there are many printing mistakes due to incorrect mounting. For example, in the case of a newspaper rotary press with 48 pages and full color, a maximum of 192 sheets are mounted. However, it is difficult to read a printed PS plate, which causes an installation error. Currently, the plate making position information is handwritten on the back side of the printing plate and transmitted to the printing operator by the plate making operator, but it is difficult to eliminate the mounting mistake.

上記刷版の装着位置を確認する方法として、下記の特許文献1,2に提案されている方法がある。   As methods for confirming the mounting position of the printing plate, there are methods proposed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 below.

特開平10−202840号公報Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-202840 特開2002−127374号公報これら特許文献1,2に提案されている方法は、装置が大型化し高価となるため、実用化には不向きであると考えられる。The methods proposed in JP-A-2002-127374 and JP-A-2002-127374 are considered unsuitable for practical use because the apparatus becomes large and expensive.

新聞輪転機を多数台使用する新聞社によっては、一日1,000枚前後の刷版装着があり、毎日2〜3枚の誤装着が発生しているが、オペレーターの細心の注意によって、未然に誤装着のまま印刷を継続してしまうミスを防ぎ、外部への流出は少ない。しかし、作業時における負担は大きい。   Depending on the newspaper company that uses a large number of newspaper presses, about 1,000 plates are installed per day, and two or three misprints are installed every day. This prevents mistakes that continue to be printed with incorrect attachment, and there is little outflow to the outside. However, the burden during work is large.

本発明は、上記の点に鑑み、刷版が指定された印刷版胴の装着位置に正確に装着されているかどうかを識別し、その正・誤結果を判定してオペレーターに通報可能であり、刷版の装着位置確認作業の軽減と誤装着による欠陥印刷や損紙の削減を図ることが可能な刷版装着位置識別方法を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above points, the present invention can identify whether the printing plate is correctly mounted at the mounting position of the designated printing plate cylinder, determine the correct / wrong result, and notify the operator. It is an object of the present invention to provide a printing plate mounting position identification method capable of reducing the printing plate mounting position confirmation work and reducing defective printing and waste paper due to erroneous mounting.

本発明のその他の目的や新規な特徴は後述の実施の形態において明らかにする。   Other objects and novel features of the present invention will be clarified in embodiments described later.

上記目的を達成するために、本発明は、印刷版胴に刷版を装着して印刷を行う印刷機での刷版装着位置識別方法であって、
前記印刷版胴の刷版装着位置にそれぞれ対応する位置識別信号を所定指向方向に発信する信号発信手段を設けるとともに、前記刷版装着位置にそれぞれ装着される刷版に装着位置を指定する位置指定表示を設けておき、
前記位置識別信号を受信する信号受信手段と前記位置指定表示を撮像する撮像手段とを具備する携帯形ターミナルを用いて、各刷版装着位置毎に前記信号受信手段で当該刷版装着位置に対応した信号発信手段からの位置識別信号を受信すると共に前記撮像手段で当該刷版装着位置に装着された刷版の位置指定表示を撮像し、当該位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と前記位置識別信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置とを照合し、両者が一致しているときに、当該刷版装着位置に刷版が正しく装着されたと判定することを特徴としている。
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a printing plate mounting position identification method in a printing press that performs printing by mounting a printing plate on a printing plate cylinder,
Position specifying means for transmitting a position identification signal corresponding to each printing plate mounting position of the printing plate cylinder in a predetermined direction and designating a mounting position for each printing plate mounted at the printing plate mounting position Provide a display,
Using a portable terminal having a signal receiving means for receiving the position identification signal and an imaging means for imaging the position designation display, the signal receiving means corresponds to the plate mounting position for each printing plate mounting position. The position identification signal from the signal transmitting means is received, and the position designation display of the printing plate loaded at the printing plate loading position is imaged by the imaging means, and the printing plate loading position designated by the position designation display and the The actual printing plate mounting position indicated by the position identification signal is collated, and when they match, it is determined that the printing plate is correctly mounted at the printing plate mounting position.

前記刷版装着位置識別方法において、前記信号発信手段は前記印刷版胴の軸方向に平行に配置されており、赤外線、光線又は超音波の前記位置識別信号を発信するとよい。   In the printing plate mounting position identification method, the signal transmitting means may be arranged in parallel with the axial direction of the printing plate cylinder and transmit the position identification signal of infrared rays, light rays or ultrasonic waves.

前記刷版装着位置識別方法において、前記位置指定表示は親水性インキにより前記刷版表面に印刷されているとよい。   In the printing plate mounting position identifying method, the position designation display may be printed on the printing plate surface with hydrophilic ink.

前記刷版装着位置識別方法において、前記位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と前記位置識別信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置との照合結果を表示手段で表示する構成であるとよい。   In the printing plate mounting position identification method, the collating result between the printing plate mounting position designated by the position designation display and the actual printing plate mounting position indicated by the position identification signal is displayed on the display means. Good.

前記刷版装着位置識別方法において、前記携帯形ターミナルは、前記位置識別信号の受信データ及び前記位置指定表示の撮像データ、又は前記照合結果を前記表示手段に対して無線で送信する構成であるとよい。   In the printing plate mounting position identification method, the portable terminal is configured to wirelessly transmit the reception data of the position identification signal and the imaging data of the position designation display, or the verification result to the display means. Good.

前記刷版装着位置識別方法において、前記印刷版胴に前記刷版を装着した後において、前記印刷版胴のスロー回転中に前記携帯形ターミナルの前記撮像手段で前記位置指定表示を撮像するとよい。   In the printing plate mounting position identifying method, after the printing plate is mounted on the printing plate cylinder, the position designation display may be imaged by the imaging means of the portable terminal during slow rotation of the printing plate cylinder.

本発明に係る刷版装着位置識別方法は、印刷版胴の刷版装着位置にそれぞれ対応する位置識別信号を受信する信号受信手段と、刷版の装着位置を指定する位置指定表示を撮像する撮像手段とを具備する携帯形ターミナルを用いる。そして、印刷版胴の個々の刷版装着位置毎に前記信号受信手段で当該刷版装着位置に対応した信号発信手段からの位置識別信号を受信すると共に前記撮像手段で当該刷版装着位置に装着された刷版の位置指定表示を撮像し、当該位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と前記位置識別信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置とを照合し、両者が一致しているときに、当該刷版装着位置に刷版が正しく装着されたと判定することができる。この照合動作のための刷版の装着位置を指定する、位置指定表示の撮像手段は、例えば携帯形ターミナルを持った(胸付近に取付)オペレーターが当該刷版装着直後、印刷機をスロー回転させ位置指定表示を撮像する。また、他の照合方法として、オペレーターが携帯形ターミナルを持って刷版装着済みの複数の刷版装着位置に対して順次移動して位置指定表示を撮像することでも確実に行うことができる。また、前記照合結果は、携帯形ターミナルとは別に設けた表示手段で表示することができる。   The printing plate mounting position identification method according to the present invention includes a signal receiving unit that receives a position identification signal corresponding to each printing plate mounting position of a printing plate cylinder, and an image that captures a position designation display that specifies the mounting position of the printing plate. A portable terminal comprising means. Then, for each individual plate mounting position of the printing plate cylinder, the signal receiving unit receives a position identification signal from the signal transmitting unit corresponding to the plate mounting position, and the image pickup unit mounts the plate at the plate mounting position. The position designation display of the printed printing plate is imaged, the printing plate mounting position designated by the position designation display is compared with the actual printing plate mounting position indicated by the position identification signal, and the two match. Sometimes, it can be determined that the printing plate is correctly loaded at the printing plate loading position. The position designation display imaging means for designating the mounting position of the printing plate for the collation operation is, for example, an operator having a portable terminal (attached near the chest), and the operator slowly rotates the printing press immediately after mounting the printing plate. The position designation display is imaged. Further, as another verification method, the operator can carry out surely by picking up the position designation display by sequentially moving with respect to a plurality of plate mounting positions on which the plate is mounted with a portable terminal. The collation result can be displayed by display means provided separately from the portable terminal.

従って、刷版が指定された印刷版胴の装着位置に正確に装着されているかどうかを識別し、その正・誤結果を判定してオペレーターに通報可能であり、刷版の装着位置確認作業の軽減と誤装着による欠陥印刷や損紙の削減が可能である。また、携帯形ターミナルを携行したオペレーターが印刷版胴における複数の刷版装着位置に対して(印刷版胴が複数ある場合には複数の印刷版胴に対して)順次移動して位置識別信号の受信及び刷版の位置指定表示の撮像を行えばよく、つまり1組の信号受信手段と撮像手段があれば足り、装置構成が簡素で、安価に構成できる。   Therefore, it is possible to identify whether the printing plate is correctly mounted at the specified printing plate cylinder mounting position, determine the correct / wrong result, and report it to the operator. It is possible to reduce the number of defective prints and waste paper due to mitigation and mounting errors. In addition, the operator carrying the portable terminal sequentially moves with respect to a plurality of printing plate mounting positions on the printing plate cylinder (to a plurality of printing plate cylinders when there are a plurality of printing plate cylinders), and outputs a position identification signal. What is necessary is just to image the reception and the position designation display of the printing plate, that is, only one set of signal receiving means and imaging means is sufficient, and the apparatus configuration is simple and can be configured at low cost.

以下、本発明を実施するための最良の形態として、刷版装着位置識別方法の実施の形態を図面に従って説明する。   Hereinafter, as a best mode for carrying out the present invention, an embodiment of a plate mounting position identifying method will be described with reference to the drawings.

図1乃至図5を用いて本発明に係る刷版装着位置識別方法の実施の形態を説明する。図5の印刷ユニットを複数備える新聞輪転機等の場合に各印刷ユニットを紙が通る経路は複数通りとなるが、図1の総合印刷制御機構1は、その紙の通る経路まで考慮した数多くの印刷パターン(印刷の仕方)が記憶されている。各印刷パターンはそれぞれページ割付が異なり、製版した刷版の装着位置や紙の走行経路が入れ替わる。また、各印刷版胴には複数の刷版が装着されるようになっている。例えば、図2のように個々の印刷版胴31は(軸方向)長手方向に4つの印刷領域に分割されて4つの刷版装着位置を有し、各刷版装着位置に対応した4つの刷版5をそれぞれ誤り無く装着しなければならない。   An embodiment of a printing plate mounting position identifying method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the case of a newspaper rotary press or the like having a plurality of printing units shown in FIG. 5, there are a plurality of paths through which the paper passes through each printing unit. However, the total printing control mechanism 1 in FIG. A print pattern (how to print) is stored. Each printing pattern has a different page allocation, and the mounting position of the prepressed plate and the paper travel path are switched. Each printing plate cylinder is provided with a plurality of printing plates. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, each printing plate cylinder 31 is divided into four printing regions in the longitudinal direction (axial direction) and has four printing plate mounting positions, and four printing plates corresponding to the printing plate mounting positions. Each version 5 must be installed without error.

前記数多くの印刷パターンから特定(選択)された印刷パターンのページ割付情報に従い、総合印刷制御機構1は刷版の位置指定表示(印刷版胴の番号及び当該印刷版胴での刷版装着位置)を、刷版印刷制御部3を介して刷版印刷器4(例えばインキジェットプリンタ等)により親水性インキで製版済みの刷版5の印刷面上に印刷させる。また、図1のキーボード手動式操作ボックス2を用いてページ割付制御を行い、刷版印刷制御部3を介して前記刷版の位置指定表示を刷版印刷器4により親水性インキで製版済みの刷版5の印刷面上に印刷させてもよい。   In accordance with the page allocation information of the printing pattern specified (selected) from the numerous printing patterns, the general printing control mechanism 1 displays the printing plate position designation (printing plate cylinder number and printing plate mounting position on the printing plate cylinder). Is printed on the printing surface of the prepressed printing plate 5 with hydrophilic ink by a printing plate printer 4 (for example, an ink jet printer) via the printing plate printing control unit 3. Further, the page assignment control is performed using the keyboard manual operation box 2 in FIG. 1, and the position designation display of the printing plate is made with the hydrophilic printing ink by the printing plate printer 4 through the printing plate printing control unit 3. You may print on the printing surface of the printing plate 5.

前記刷版5を装着すべき印刷版胴の番号及び当該印刷版胴における刷版装着位置を含んだ位置指定表示は、刷版印刷器4によりオペレーターが目視で確認できるように大きく印字される。またインキは親水性インキであるが、後述する携帯形ターミナル7で判読が容易なインキとする。図1の刷版5における「3P−A黒」が前記位置指定表示の1例であり、「3P」が印刷版胴の番号を、「A」が4個ある刷版装着位置A,B,C,Dのうちの「A」の装着位置であることを示している。なお、「黒」はオペレーターによる刷版装着のための付加的な情報であり、黒色インキで印刷する刷版であることを示す。前記位置指定表示に親水性インキを用いるのは、実際の印刷工程で紙面印刷に影響が出ないようにするためであり、新聞輪転機等の初期運転中に印刷版胴への水の供給により前記位置指定表示は短時間で消失する。   The position designation display including the number of the printing plate cylinder to which the printing plate 5 is to be mounted and the printing plate mounting position in the printing plate cylinder is printed large so that the operator can visually confirm it. Further, although the ink is a hydrophilic ink, it is an ink that can be easily read by the portable terminal 7 described later. “3P-A black” in the printing plate 5 of FIG. 1 is an example of the position designation display, “3P” is the number of the printing plate cylinder, and “A” is four printing plate mounting positions A, B, This indicates that the position is the mounting position “A” of C and D. “Black” is additional information for mounting the printing plate by the operator, and indicates that the printing plate is printed with black ink. The reason why the hydrophilic ink is used for the position designation display is to prevent the printing on the paper surface from being affected in the actual printing process, and by supplying water to the printing plate cylinder during the initial operation of a newspaper rotary press or the like. The position designation display disappears in a short time.

図2の印刷版胴31(印刷版胴の番号「3P」)の刷版装着位置A,B,C,Dにそれぞれ対応する位置識別信号を所定指向方向に発信する信号発信手段として赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A,6-B,6-C,6-Dが印刷版胴31の近傍に設けられている。印刷版胴31外周の接してその軸方向に平行に配設されたベアラタッチ50(横方向のバー)がある場合、赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A,6-B,6-C,6-Dを間隔をあけて配置、固定した専用取付バー51がそのベアラタッチ50に近接して平行に配置される。この場合、専用取付バー51を用いているため、印刷ユニット側に対する着脱が容易である。   Infrared digital as signal transmission means for transmitting position identification signals corresponding to the printing plate mounting positions A, B, C, and D of the printing plate cylinder 31 (printing plate cylinder number “3P”) in FIG. 2 in a predetermined direction. Signal transmitters 6 -A, 6 -B, 6 -C, and 6 -D are provided in the vicinity of the printing plate cylinder 31. When there is a bearer touch 50 (horizontal bar) arranged in contact with the outer periphery of the printing plate cylinder 31 and parallel to the axial direction, the infrared digital signal transmitters 6-A, 6-B, 6-C, 6- A dedicated mounting bar 51 in which D is arranged and fixed at intervals is arranged in parallel in the vicinity of the bearer touch 50. In this case, since the dedicated mounting bar 51 is used, it can be easily attached to and detached from the printing unit side.

赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A,6-B,6-C,6-Dからは各赤外線デジタル信号が十分に鋭い指向性ビームで発信(放射)される。   Each infrared digital signal is transmitted (radiated) with a sufficiently sharp directional beam from the infrared digital signal transmitters 6-A, 6-B, 6-C, 6-D.

赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-Aの赤外線デジタル信号は印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「A」を示す位置識別信号であり、その指向方向は、印刷版胴31の装着位置「A」の前側に、後述する携帯形ターミナル7を胸の部分で(換言すれば身体の前側で)持ったオペレーターが相対したときに当該赤外線デジタル信号を受信(受光)でき、隣の印刷版胴31の装着位置「B」の位置では受光できないように設定する。   The infrared digital signal of the infrared digital signal transmission unit 6-A is a position identification signal indicating the mounting position “A” of the number “3P” of the printing plate cylinder, and the directing direction thereof is the mounting position “A” of the printing plate cylinder 31. When the operator holding the portable terminal 7 to be described later on the chest part (in other words, on the front side of the body) is opposed to the infrared digital signal, the adjacent printing plate cylinder 31 can receive the infrared digital signal. Is set so that light cannot be received at the position “B”.

同様に、赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-Bの赤外線デジタル信号は印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「B」を示す位置識別信号であり、その指向方向は、印刷版胴31の装着位置「B」の前側に、携帯形ターミナル7を持ったオペレーターが相対したときに当該赤外線デジタル信号を受光でき、隣の印刷版胴31の装着位置「A」又は「C」の位置では受光できないように設定する。赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-C,6-Dの赤外線デジタル信号は印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「C」、装着位置「D」を示す位置識別信号であり、その指向方向についても同様である。   Similarly, the infrared digital signal of the infrared digital signal transmission unit 6-B is a position identification signal indicating the mounting position “B” of the number “3P” of the printing plate cylinder, and the directing direction thereof is the mounting of the printing plate cylinder 31. When the operator having the portable terminal 7 faces the front side of the position “B”, the infrared digital signal can be received, and cannot be received at the mounting position “A” or “C” of the adjacent printing plate cylinder 31. Set as follows. The infrared digital signals of the infrared digital signal transmitters 6-C and 6-D are position identification signals indicating the mounting position “C” and the mounting position “D” of the printing plate cylinder number “3P”. Is the same.

なお、2L1W−2L2W切替スイッチ52が専用取付バー51に設けられており、2L1W−2L2W切替スイッチ52が2L1W側のときは、図示の通り1つの印刷版胴31に4枚の刷版5が装着される設定であり、2L2W側に切り替えられたときは、1つの印刷版胴31に2枚の大形刷版が装着される設定である(「3P−A黒」及び「3P−B黒」に対し1枚、「3P−C黒」及び「3P−D黒」に対しもう1枚装着する設定)。このように2L2W側に切り替えられたときは赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A,6-Cを選択的に使用すればよい。   When the 2L1W-2L2W selector switch 52 is provided on the dedicated mounting bar 51 and the 2L1W-2L2W selector switch 52 is on the 2L1W side, four printing plates 5 are mounted on one printing plate cylinder 31 as shown in the figure. When the switch is made to the 2L2W side, two large printing plates are mounted on one printing plate cylinder 31 (“3P-A black” and “3P-B black”). One set for “3P-C black” and another set for “3P-D black”). Thus, when switched to the 2L2W side, the infrared digital signal transmitters 6-A and 6-C may be selectively used.

携帯形ターミナル7は例えば図3の外観形状であり、刷版5における「3P−A黒」等の前記位置指定表示を撮像する撮像手段としてのカメラ21と、位置識別信号としての前記赤外線デジタル信号を受信する信号受信手段としての赤外線受光部22と、電源オン及びリセットのための押しボタンスイッチ23と、図4の刷版監視盤8との間で無線通信を行うためのアンテナ23及び無線通信モジュールとを具備している。   The portable terminal 7 has, for example, the external shape of FIG. 3, and includes a camera 21 as an imaging unit that images the position designation display such as “3P-A black” on the printing plate 5, and the infrared digital signal as a position identification signal. Infrared light receiving unit 22 as a signal receiving means for receiving signal, push button switch 23 for power-on and reset, and antenna 23 and wireless communication for performing wireless communication with printing plate monitoring panel 8 of FIG. Module.

図4の刷版監視盤8は携帯形ターミナル7との間で無線通信を行うためのアンテナ25及び無線通信モジュールを具備し、刷版取付状況表示機能を有している。図示の例は、多数の印刷ユニットを有する新聞輪転機等の場合であり、個々の長方形枠10が1つの印刷ユニットを表示している。例えば、刷版の装着が正しく行われた印刷ユニットについては長方形枠10が青色に点灯し、刷版の装着が不正である場合長方形枠10が赤色に明滅する等の動作を行う。また、刷版監視盤8の枠Fは折機(新聞輪転機では断裁排出機構)を表示している。   4 includes an antenna 25 and a wireless communication module for performing wireless communication with the portable terminal 7, and has a printing plate attachment status display function. The illustrated example is a case of a newspaper rotary press or the like having a large number of printing units, and each rectangular frame 10 displays one printing unit. For example, for a printing unit in which the printing plate is correctly mounted, the rectangular frame 10 is lit blue, and when the printing plate is improperly mounted, the rectangular frame 10 blinks red. A frame F of the printing plate monitoring board 8 displays a folding machine (a cutting discharge mechanism in a newspaper rotary press).

次に、図2のように4つの赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A,6-B,6-C,6-Dをそれぞれ4つの印刷版胴31の刷版装着位置A,B,C,Dの近傍に設けた構成と、図3の携帯形ターミナル7とを用いた照合(刷版表面に親水性インキで印刷された「3P−A黒」等の位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と、赤外線デジタル信号の位置識別信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置との照合)動作について説明する。   Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the four infrared digital signal transmitters 6-A, 6-B, 6-C, and 6-D are connected to the printing plate mounting positions A, B, C, and 4 of the four printing plate cylinders 31, respectively. Collation using the configuration provided in the vicinity of D and the portable terminal 7 of FIG. 3 (a printing plate designated by a position designation display such as “3P-A black” printed with hydrophilic ink on the printing plate surface) The operation of collating the mounting position with the actual printing plate mounting position indicated by the position identification signal of the infrared digital signal will be described.

図2では、番号3Pの印刷版胴31の装着位置「A」には位置指定表示「3P−A黒」が付された刷版5が、装着位置「B」には位置指定表示「3P−B黒」が付された刷版5が、装着位置「C」には位置指定表示「3P−C黒」が付された刷版5が、装着位置「D」には位置指定表示「3P−D黒」が付された刷版5がそれぞれ装着されているものとする。   In FIG. 2, the printing plate 5 with the position designation display “3P-A black” attached to the mounting position “A” of the printing plate cylinder 31 of the number 3P, and the position designation display “3P--” to the mounting position “B”. The printing plate 5 to which “B black” is attached, the printing plate 5 to which the position designation display “3P-C black” is attached at the mounting position “C”, and the position designation display “3P-” at the mounting position “D”. It is assumed that the printing plates 5 to which “D black” is attached are respectively mounted.

この場合、オペレーターが携帯形ターミナル7を持って図2の印刷版胴31の装着位置「A」の前に立つ(位置する)と、赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-Aから送信された印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「A」を示す位置識別信号である赤外線デジタル信号が赤外線受光部22で受信される。これとともに、印刷版胴31のスロー回転中に装着位置「A」の刷版の位置指定表示「3P−A」を撮像して画像処理によりその位置指定表示を読み取る。携帯形ターミナル7は印刷版胴31に装着済みの刷版の位置指定表示「3P−A」と実際の装着位置を示している印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「A」を示す位置識別信号(赤外線デジタル信号)とを照合、比較、識別制御する機能を有しており、図2のときは位置指定表示と位置識別信号とが合致するため、正しく刷版が装着されたと判定して図4の刷版監視盤8に印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「A」に正しく刷版が装着されたことを無線で通報する。   In this case, when the operator stands (positions) in front of the mounting position “A” of the printing plate cylinder 31 of FIG. 2 with the portable terminal 7, the printing plate transmitted from the infrared digital signal transmission unit 6 -A. The infrared light receiving unit 22 receives an infrared digital signal that is a position identification signal indicating the mounting position “A” of the trunk number “3P”. At the same time, during the slow rotation of the printing plate cylinder 31, the position designation display “3P-A” of the printing plate at the mounting position “A” is imaged, and the position designation display is read by image processing. The portable terminal 7 indicates the position designation display “3P-A” of the printing plate already mounted on the printing plate cylinder 31 and the position indicating the mounting position “A” of the printing plate cylinder number “3P” indicating the actual mounting position. It has the function of collating, comparing, and controlling identification with the identification signal (infrared digital signal). In the case of FIG. 2, the position designation display and the position identification signal match, so it is determined that the printing plate is correctly loaded. Then, the printing plate monitoring board 8 in FIG. 4 is notified by radio that the printing plate is correctly loaded at the mounting position “A” of the printing plate cylinder number “3P”.

携帯形ターミナル7をリセット後、オペレーターは携帯形ターミナル7を持って図2の印刷版胴31の装着位置「B」の前に移動して停止し、赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-Bから送信された印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「B」を示す位置識別信号である赤外線デジタル信号が赤外線受光部22で受信される。これとともに、印刷版胴31のスロー回転中に装着位置「B」の刷版の位置指定表示「3P−B」を撮像して画像処理によりその位置指定表示を読み取る。携帯形ターミナル7では刷版の位置指定表示「3P−B」と実際の装着位置を示している印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「B」を示す位置識別信号(赤外線デジタル信号)とを照合、比較、識別制御し、位置指定表示と位置識別信号とが合致するため、正しく刷版が装着されたと判定して刷版監視盤8に印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「B」に正しく刷版が装着されたことを無線で通報する。   After resetting the portable terminal 7, the operator holds the portable terminal 7, stops in front of the mounting position “B” of the printing plate cylinder 31 of FIG. 2, and transmits from the infrared digital signal transmitter 6 -B. The infrared light receiving unit 22 receives an infrared digital signal that is a position identification signal indicating the mounting position “B” of the number “3P” of the printed printing cylinder. At the same time, during the slow rotation of the printing plate cylinder 31, the position designation display “3P-B” of the printing plate at the mounting position “B” is imaged, and the position designation display is read by image processing. In the portable terminal 7, a plate position designation display “3P-B”, a position identification signal (infrared digital signal) indicating the mounting position “B” of the printing plate cylinder number “3P” indicating the actual mounting position, and Since the position designation display matches the position identification signal, it is determined that the printing plate is correctly loaded and the printing plate cylinder number “3P” is attached to the printing plate cylinder number “3P”. “B” is notified by radio that the printing plate has been correctly installed.

以後、オペレーターは携帯形ターミナル7を持って図2の印刷版胴31の装着位置「C」、「D」の前に順次移動し同様に刷版の位置指定表示と位置識別信号とを照合して行く。また、別の位置の印刷版胴に対しても同様に照合動作を行うことができる。   Thereafter, the operator holds the portable terminal 7 and sequentially moves before the mounting positions “C” and “D” of the printing plate cylinder 31 shown in FIG. 2, and similarly verifies the position designation display of the printing plate and the position identification signal. Go. In addition, the collating operation can be similarly performed on a printing plate cylinder at another position.

なお、刷版5に付された位置指定表示と位置識別信号との照合は、刷版装着済みの印刷版胴31の各刷版装着位置に対して順次行ってもよいが、刷版5を1枚毎に装着した直後に行うことが効率的である。例えば、オペレーターが、刷版天側(片側)を印刷版胴片側に装入し、印刷機をスロー回転で印刷版胴を1回転させた後、停止し、刷版地側(下側)を印刷版胴に装入ロックする。そして、位置指定表示の撮像は今1回印刷版胴をスロー回転させたときに行い、位置指定表示を入力する。撮像入力するまでオペレーターはその刷版装着位置に止まる。   The position designation display attached to the printing plate 5 and the position identification signal may be collated sequentially with respect to each printing plate mounting position of the printing plate cylinder 31 on which the printing plate is mounted. It is efficient to carry out immediately after mounting every sheet. For example, the operator inserts the printing plate top side (one side) into the printing plate cylinder piece side, rotates the printing machine by rotating the printing plate cylinder once, stops, and stops the printing plate side (lower side). Lock the printing plate cylinder. The imaging of the position designation display is performed once when the printing plate cylinder is slowly rotated once, and the position designation display is input. The operator stays at the plate mounting position until the image is input.

図4の刷版監視盤8は携帯形ターミナル7からの刷版の装着情報を無線で受信でき、1個の印刷ユニットの全ての印刷版胴に刷版が正しく装着されたときに当該印刷ユニットを表示している長方形枠10が例えば青色に点灯する。   The printing plate monitoring board 8 shown in FIG. 4 can wirelessly receive printing plate mounting information from the portable terminal 7, and when the printing plate is correctly mounted on all the printing plate cylinders of one printing unit, the printing unit. The rectangular frame 10 displaying is lit in blue, for example.

仮に、印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「A」に位置指定表示「3P−B」や「4P−A」が付された刷版が装着されていたとすると、装着すべき印刷版胴の番号は合致していても刷版装着位置が不正、あるいは装着すべき印刷版胴の番号が異なる等の理由で携帯形ターミナル7における前記位置指定表示と位置識別信号との照合結果は不一致となり、刷版装着が不正であると判定して印刷版胴の番号「3P」の装着位置「A」の刷版が不正であることを無線で刷版監視盤8に通報し、当該刷版装着が不正である印刷ユニットに対応した長方形枠10が赤色に明滅する等のアラーム動作を行う。これにより刷版監視盤8の監視者は刷版装着の不正を認識でき、オペレーターに刷版装着の不正を通知できる。また、携帯形ターミナル7にもアラーム機能を持たせて、携帯形ターミナル7における前記位置指定表示と位置識別信号との照合結果が不一致の場合に、アラーム発生(音又は光等)によって刷版装着の修正を促すようにできる。また、前記照合結果が一致の場合には一致(正しい装着)を示す音又は光等による確認表示を行うと良い。   If a printing plate with a position designation display “3P-B” or “4P-A” is attached to the attachment position “A” of the printing plate cylinder number “3P”, the printing plate cylinder to be attached Even if the numbers match, the collation result of the position designation display and the position identification signal on the portable terminal 7 is inconsistent because the plate mounting position is incorrect or the number of the printing plate cylinder to be mounted is different. The printing plate mounting is determined to be illegal, and the printing plate monitoring number 8 is wirelessly notified to the printing plate monitoring board 8 that the printing plate at the mounting position “A” of the printing plate cylinder number “3P” is illegal. An alarm operation is performed such that the rectangular frame 10 corresponding to the printing unit for which is illegal is blinking red. As a result, the supervisor of the printing plate monitoring panel 8 can recognize the improper installation of the printing plate and can notify the operator of the improper installation of the printing plate. Also, the portable terminal 7 is provided with an alarm function, and when the collation result between the position designation display and the position identification signal on the portable terminal 7 does not match, the printing plate is mounted when an alarm is generated (sound or light). You can be prompted to correct. Further, when the collation result is coincident, confirmation display with sound or light indicating coincidence (correct wearing) may be performed.

刷版監視盤8の監視者は全ての印刷ユニットの印刷版胴に刷版が正しく装着されたことを、印刷ユニットに対応した長方形枠10の全てが例えば青色に点灯したことで確認でき、確認後に新聞輪転機等の通常印刷動作に移行させることが可能である。   The monitor of the printing plate monitoring panel 8 can confirm that the printing plates are correctly mounted on the printing plate cylinders of all printing units by checking that all the rectangular frames 10 corresponding to the printing units are lit in blue, for example. It is possible to shift to a normal printing operation such as a newspaper press later.

この実施の形態によれば、次の通りの効果を得ることができる。   According to this embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) 印刷版胴31の刷版装着位置A,B,C,Dにそれぞれ対応する赤外線デジタル信号(位置識別信号)を所定指向方向に発信する赤外線式デジタル信号発信部(信号発信手段)6-A,6-B,6-C,6-Dを印刷機側に設けるとともに、前記刷版装着位置にそれぞれ装着される刷版5側に装着位置を指定する位置指定表示を設けておき、前記赤外線デジタル信号を受信可能でかつ前記位置指定表示を撮像可能な機能を有する携帯形ターミナル7を用いることで、刷版5側の位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と印刷機側の赤外線デジタル信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置とを照合することができる。そして、両者が一致しているときに、当該刷版装着位置に刷版が正しく装着されたと判定することができる。従って、刷版装着位置の正・誤結果を確実に判定してオペレーターに通報可能であり、刷版の装着位置確認作業の軽減と誤装着による欠陥印刷や損紙の削減が可能である。 (1) Infrared digital signal transmitter (signal transmitter) 6 for transmitting infrared digital signals (position identification signals) corresponding to the printing plate mounting positions A, B, C, and D of the printing plate cylinder 31 in a predetermined direction. -A, 6-B, 6-C, and 6-D are provided on the printing machine side, and a position designation display for designating the mounting position is provided on the plate 5 side that is mounted on the plate mounting position. By using the portable terminal 7 capable of receiving the infrared digital signal and having the function of capturing the position designation display, the printing plate mounting position designated by the position designation display on the printing plate 5 side and the printer side The actual plate mounting position indicated by the infrared digital signal can be collated. When the two coincide, it can be determined that the printing plate is correctly loaded at the printing plate loading position. Therefore, it is possible to reliably determine the correct / incorrect result of the printing plate mounting position and report it to the operator, and it is possible to reduce the work for checking the mounting position of the printing plate and to reduce defective printing and paper loss due to erroneous mounting.

(2) 刷版5側の位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と印刷機側の赤外線デジタル信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置との照合作業は、携帯形ターミナル7を携行したオペレーターが印刷版胴31における複数の刷版装着位置に対して(印刷版胴が複数ある場合には複数の印刷版胴に対して)順次移動して赤外線デジタル信号の受信及び刷版の位置指定表示の撮像を行えばよく、つまり1組の信号受信手段と撮像手段があれば足り、装置構成が簡素で、安価に構成できる。なお、前記照合作業は印刷版胴31の1つの刷版装着位置に対して1枚の刷版5を装着する作業の直後に位置指定表示を撮像してもよいし、あるいは全ての刷版装着位置に刷版5を装着済みの印刷版胴に対して順次位置指定表示の撮像を行うようにしてもよい。 (2) The portable terminal 7 was carried in for collation between the printing plate mounting position designated by the position designation display on the printing plate 5 side and the actual printing plate loading position indicated by the infrared digital signal on the printing press side. The operator sequentially moves with respect to a plurality of printing plate mounting positions on the printing plate cylinder 31 (to a plurality of printing plate cylinders when there are a plurality of printing plate cylinders) to receive infrared digital signals and specify the position of the printing plate. What is necessary is just to image the display, that is, only one set of signal receiving means and imaging means is sufficient, and the apparatus configuration is simple and can be configured at low cost. The collation operation may be performed by imaging the position designation display immediately after the operation of mounting one printing plate 5 to one printing plate mounting position of the printing plate cylinder 31 or all the printing plate mounting. You may make it image-capture a position designation display sequentially with respect to the printing plate cylinder which has mounted the printing plate 5 in the position.

(3) 赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A,6-B,6-C,6-Dは、印刷版胴31の軸方向に平行に配置すればよく、既存の印刷機に取り付けることが容易である。 (3) The infrared digital signal transmitters 6-A, 6-B, 6-C and 6-D need only be arranged parallel to the axial direction of the printing plate cylinder 31 and can be easily mounted on an existing printing press. It is.

(4) 前記位置指定表示は親水性インキにより刷版5の表面に印刷すればよく、新聞輪転機等では印刷版胴31に水を供給するため、前記位置指定表示は印刷版胴31の初期の回転で消失し、紙面の印刷には影響しない。 (4) The position designation display only needs to be printed on the surface of the printing plate 5 with hydrophilic ink, and a newspaper rotary press or the like supplies water to the printing plate cylinder 31, so the position designation display is the initial position of the printing plate cylinder 31. Disappears with no rotation and does not affect printing on the paper.

(5) 刷版5側の位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と印刷機側の赤外線デジタル信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置との照合結果は、携帯形ターミナル7から刷版監視盤8に無線で送られるようになっており、印刷版胴31を含む印刷ユニットを多数具備する新聞輪転機等の複雑な印刷機であっても、刷版監視盤8の表示により多数の印刷ユニットにおける刷版装着位置の正否を全体的に把握できる。 (5) The result of collation between the printing plate mounting position specified in the position designation display on the printing plate 5 side and the actual printing plate mounting position indicated by the infrared digital signal on the printing machine side is obtained from the portable terminal 7 Even a complicated printing press such as a newspaper rotary press equipped with a number of printing units including the printing plate cylinder 31 can be sent to the monitoring board 8 wirelessly by displaying on the printing plate monitoring board 8. Whether the plate mounting position in the printing unit is correct or not can be grasped as a whole.

(6) 印刷版胴31に刷版5を装着後、印刷版胴31のスロー回転中に携帯形ターミナル7のカメラ(撮像手段)で前記位置指定表示を撮像可能であり、印刷機の運転動作に変更を加える必要はない。 (6) After the printing plate cylinder 31 is mounted on the printing plate cylinder 31, the position designation display can be imaged by the camera (imaging means) of the portable terminal 7 during the slow rotation of the printing plate cylinder 31, and the operation of the printing press There is no need to make any changes.

なお、上記実施の形態においては、印刷版胴の位置識別信号を発信する信号発信手段として、赤外線式デジタル信号発信部6-A〜6-Dを用いたが、光線又は超音波の位置識別信号を発信する信号発信手段を用いてもよい。これに対応して携帯形ターミナル7側の位置識別信号の受信手段も受光器又は超音波受波器とすればよい。   In the above embodiment, the infrared digital signal transmitters 6-A to 6-D are used as signal transmitting means for transmitting the position identification signal of the printing plate cylinder. You may use the signal transmission means which transmits. Correspondingly, the means for receiving the position identification signal on the portable terminal 7 side may be a light receiver or an ultrasonic wave receiver.

また、携帯形ターミナル7のカメラ21で撮像する位置指定表示は、オペレーターが刷版を取り付けるための「3P−A」等の文字の他に、画像処理での識別を容易とするための「3P−A」等の文字と同じ意味の符号(例えばバーコード等)を併記し、その符号をカメラ21で撮像してもよい。   The position designation display imaged by the camera 21 of the portable terminal 7 includes “3P-A” for easy identification in image processing, in addition to characters such as “3P-A” for the operator to attach the printing plate. A symbol (for example, a barcode) having the same meaning as the character such as “-A” may be written together, and the symbol may be captured by the camera 21.

また、携帯形ターミナル7にカメラ21で撮像した位置指定表示を画像処理で認識する機能がある場合で説明したが、携帯形ターミナル7のカメラ21で撮像した撮像データ及び位置識別信号の受信手段による受信データを無線で刷版監視盤8に送り、刷版監視盤8側で位置指定表示を画像処理で認識して、その位置指定表示で指定された刷版装着位置と印刷機側の位置識別信号で示された実際の刷版装着位置とを照合する構成も可能である。   Further, the case where the portable terminal 7 has a function of recognizing the position designation display imaged by the camera 21 by the image processing has been described. However, the image data and the position identification signal received by the camera 21 of the portable terminal 7 are received. The received data is wirelessly sent to the plate monitoring board 8, the position designation display is recognized by image processing on the plate monitoring board 8 side, and the plate mounting position designated by the position designation display and the position identification on the printing press side are identified. A configuration in which the actual plate mounting position indicated by the signal is collated is also possible.
