Descripción detallada de unos ejemplos de realización Haciendo en primer lugar referencia a la Fig. 1 se describe una posible realización de un dispositivo de impresión usando dichas tintas susceptibles de cambiar de fase en función de la temperatura para impresora flexográfica según la presente invención. La mencionada máquina impresora flexográfica comprende en general uno o más grupos de impresión 21 (sólo dos de los cuales se muestran en la Fig. 1 ) adaptados para imprimir dichas tintas de impresión sobre una banda de sustrato 23 apoyada en al menos un rodillo de contrapresión 24. Alternativamente, la impresora flexográfica podría tener un único grupo de impresión 21 y un único rodillo de contrapresión 24 o varios grupos de impresión 21 cada uno asociado a un correspondiente rodillo de contrapresión 24. Detailed description of some embodiments Referring firstly to Fig. 1, a possible embodiment of a printing device using said inks capable of changing phase depending on the temperature for flexographic printer according to the present invention is described. Said flexographic printing machine generally comprises one or more printing groups 21 (only two of which are shown in Fig. 1) adapted to print said printing inks on a substrate band 23 supported on at least one backpressure roller. 24. Alternatively, the flexographic printer could have a single print group 21 and a single back pressure roller 24 or several print groups 21 each associated with a corresponding back pressure roller 24.
Las tintas de impresión susceptibles de cambio de fase en función de la temperatura, tienen un primer rango de temperaturas T|iq en el que están en una fase líquida y un segundo rango de temperaturas Tgei en el que están en una fase gel, siendo dicho rango de temperaturas Tgei menor que el rango de temperaturas T|iq. Dichas tintas son apropiadas para un método de impresión húmedo sobre húmedo según el cual, cuando la impresora flexográfica tiene varios grupos de impresión 21 , éstos imprimen las tintas (que están a una temperatura T|¡q) sucesivamente unas sobre otras sobre la banda de sustrato 23 debidamente soportada. Al entrar en contacto dichas tintas (a una temperatura T|iq) con la superficie del material que está a una temperatura inferior (Tgei) se produce un cambio de estado en la tinta volviéndose esta gel, de manera que la siguiente tinta puede ser aplicada encima. Una vez aplicadas todas las tintas, y dado que estas tintas són curables por radiación UV o EB, se procede al curado conjunto de las mismas al final del proceso de impresión mediante una unidad de emisión de energía (no mostrada) dispuesta para dirigir energía hacia dichas tintas de impresión impresas sobre la banda de sustrato 23. Printing inks susceptible to phase change depending on the temperature have a first temperature range T | iq in which they are in a liquid phase and a second temperature range T ge i in which they are in a gel phase, said temperature range T ge i being less than the temperature range T | iq . Said inks are suitable for a wet to wet printing method according to which, when the flexographic printer has several printing groups 21, they print the inks (which are at a temperature T | q ) successively one above the other on the web of substrate 23 duly supported. When said inks come into contact (at a temperature T | iq ) with the surface of the material that is at a lower temperature (T ge i) a change in state in the ink is produced by turning this gel, so that the next ink can be applied on Once all the inks have been applied, and since these inks are curable by UV or EB radiation, they are cured at the end of the printing process by means of an energy emission unit (not shown) arranged to direct energy towards said printing inks printed on the substrate web 23.
Cada grupo de impresión 21 comprende (Fig. 2) una cámara de aplicación de tinta 13 adaptada para aplicar la tinta de impresión a una superficie alveolada de un rodillo entintador 1 1 dispuesto para entintar a su vez un rodillo impresor 12 (portador de un cliché de impresión) que gira en contacto con la banda de sustrato 23 que se mueve apoyada sobre el rodillo de contrapresión 24. La impresora flexográfica incluye unos medios de suministro de tinta que comprenden un depósito de tinta 1 , una línea de suministro de tinta 6 conectada a una entrada de la correspondiente cámara de aplicación de tinta 13 y una línea de retorno de tinta 7 desde una salida de la cámara de aplicación de tinta 13 al depósito de tinta 1 . Una bomba 8 está dispuesta en dicha línea de suministro de tinta 6 para impeler la tinta a lo largo del circuito de suministro y retorno, y una segunda bomba 9 puede también estar dispuesta en el circuito de retorno para extraer la tinta de la cámara de rasqueta y devolverla al depósito. Each printing group 21 comprises (Fig. 2) an ink application chamber 13 adapted to apply the printing ink to a honeycomb surface of an inking roller 1 1 arranged to in turn inking a printing roller 12 (holder of a cliché printing) which rotates in contact with the substrate band 23 that moves supported on the counterpressure roller 24. The flexographic printer includes ink supply means comprising an ink reservoir 1, an ink supply line 6 connected to an input of the corresponding ink application chamber 13 and an ink return line 7 from an output of the ink application chamber 13 to the ink reservoir 1. A pump 8 is arranged in said ink supply line 6 to impel the ink along the supply circuit and return, and a second pump 9 may also be arranged in the return circuit to extract the ink from the scraper chamber and return it to the reservoir.
El dispositivo de la presente invención comprende, para cada grupo de impresión 21 , unos medios para mantener sustancialmente constante la temperatura de la citada tinta de impresión dentro de un rango de temperaturas TNq en el que la tinta está en estado líquido y puede por lo tanto ser transferida fácilmente de uno a otro de los elementos (13, 11 , 12). En las figuras 2-3-4 y 5 podemos ver los diferentes esquemas de los elementos de regulación y mantenimiento de la temperatura según la explicación precedente. The device of the present invention comprises, for each printing group 21, means for keeping the temperature of said printing ink substantially constant within a range of temperatures T Nq in which the ink is in a liquid state and can therefore both be easily transferred from one of the elements to the other (13, 11, 12). In Figures 2-3-4 and 5 we can see the different schemes of the elements of regulation and maintenance of the temperature according to the preceding explanation.
En la Fig. 6 se muestra una realización alternativa del dispositivo de la presente invención que es en todo análoga a la realización descrita más arriba en relación con las figuras anteriores, excepto en que, aquí, la aportación de la tinta al rodillo entintador o anilox no se realiza mediante una cámara de rasqueta 13 con sus sistemas de alimentación de tinta, sino que se realiza mediante un rodillo entintador 30 que bañado en una cubeta llena de tinta 31 va aportando la tinta al rodillo anilox 11. En esta figura 6 podemos además ver que tanto dicho rodillo de aportación de tinta 30 como la cubeta con la tinta 31 son mantenidos a una temperatura en el intervalo T|iq en el que la tinta esta en estado líquido y apta para ser transferida An alternative embodiment of the device of the present invention is shown in Fig. 6 which is analogous to the embodiment described above in relation to the previous figures, except that, here, the contribution of the ink to the inking roller or anilox it is not carried out by means of a scraper chamber 13 with its ink feeding systems, but it is carried out by means of an inking roller 30 which, bathed in a bucket full of ink 31, supplies the ink to the anilox roller 11. In this figure 6 we can see that said ink supply roller 30 and the ink tray 31 are maintained at a temperature in the interval T | iq in which the ink is in a liquid state and capable of being transferred
En la Fig. 7 se muestra otra realización alternativa del dispositivo de la presente invención, según la realización de la figura 6 en la que entre el rodillo entintador 30 y el rodillo anilox 11 se intercalan varios rodillos 32 y 33 que mediante diferentes velocidades de giro van laminando la capa de tinta para dejar sobre el rodillo anilox 11 la capa con el grosor necesario para la impresión. Evidentemente y tal como se muestra en la figura7 dichos rodillos intermedios 32 y 33 deben contar también con sus propios sistemas de regulación de temperatura para mantener en todo momento la tinta dentro del intervalo T|iq que permite su transferencia. In Fig. 7 another alternative embodiment of the device of the present invention is shown, according to the embodiment of Figure 6 in which between the inking roller 30 and the anilox roller 11 several rollers 32 and 33 are interleaved which by different speeds of rotation They are laminating the ink layer to leave the layer with the thickness necessary for printing on the anilox roller 11. Obviously and as shown in Figure 7, said intermediate rollers 32 and 33 must also have their own temperature regulation systems to keep the ink at all times within the interval T | iq that allows its transfer.
Finalmente, en la figura 8 podemos ver una realización alternativa en la que entre dos grupos impresores se intercala una unidad de soplado de aire frió 34 para mejorar la velocidad en que la tinta pasa de un primer intervalo de temperatura T|iq en el que la tinta es transferida a un segundo intervalo de temperatura Tgei en que la tinta ha efectuado ya su cambio de estado a gel. Este dispositivo es especialmente indicado en el caso de altas velocidades de impresión, en el que aun estando la superficie del tambor y del sustrato dentro del intervalo de temperatura Tgei, el poco tiempo transcurrido entre una estación impresora y la siguiente hacen que por transferencia de térmica no se consiga que la tinta llegue al intervalo de temperatura Tgei necesario para pasar al estado gel y así poder aplicar la siguiente tinta. Con el soplado de aire frío se consigue cambio de temperatura (y portanto de estado) mucho más rápido. Finally, in Figure 8 we can see an alternative embodiment in which between two printing groups a cold air blowing unit 34 is inserted to improve the speed in which the ink passes from a first temperature range T | iq in which the ink is transferred to a second temperature range T ge i in which the ink has already made its state change to gel. This device is especially indicated in the case of high printing speeds, in which even if the surface of the drum and the substrate is within the temperature range T ge i, the short time elapsed between one printing station and the next causes that by transfer from thermal is not achieved that the ink reaches the temperature range T ge i necessary to move to the gel state and thus be able to apply the following ink. With the blowing of cold air, a change in temperature (and a good condition) is achieved much faster.
