Abstract

The method involves applying a pneumatic pressure on an ink cartridge (1), determining a position of a cartridge butt (5), and opening a cartridge valve (7). The cartridge butt is moved into a preset nominal position, and the cartridge valve is closed at reaching of this position. The method further involves supplying ink in a printing machines with an ink box associated with a cartridge held in a fixture. The cartridge comprises an adjustable butt which is pneumatically driven, and a lockable outlet aperture. An Independent claim is included for an ink supply arrangement.

Eine Kartusche 1, die mit Druckfarbe gefüllt ist, ist in einer Halterung 2 eingesetzt und ist über einem nicht dargestellten Farbkasten eines Farbwerks angeordnet, wobei sich die Halterung mit der Kartusche in Längsrichtung des Farbkastens bewegen kann, um in den unterschiedlichen Bereichen den Farbvorrat im Farbkasten zu ergänzen. Auf die Kartusche 1 ist oben eine Dichtplatte 3 aufgesetzt, die sich auf der Halterung 2 abstützt und einen Druckluftanschluß 4 aufweist, mit dem der Kartuschenkolben 5 pneumatisch beaufschlagbar ist. Weiterhin ist in der Dichtplatte 3 ein Sensor 6 angeordnet, der als Ultraschallsensor ausgebildet sein kann und die jeweilige Stellung des Hartuschenkolbens 5 in der Kartusche 1 mißt und das Ergebnis einer Steuereinrichtung zuleitet.A cartridge 1, which is filled with printing ink, is inserted in a holder 2 and is arranged over an ink fountain (not shown) of an inking unit, the holder with the cartridge in the longitudinal direction of the ink fountain can move to the color supply in the different areas To add color box. A sealing plate 3 is placed on top of the cartridge 1, which is supported on the bracket 2 and has a compressed air connection 4, with which the cartridge piston 5 can be acted upon pneumatically. Furthermore, in the Sealing plate 3, a sensor 6 is arranged, which can be designed as an ultrasonic sensor can and the respective position of the hard shower piston 5 in the cartridge 1 measures and forwards the result to a control device.

Am unteren Ende der Kartusche 1 ist ein Kartuschenventil 7 vorgesehen, das als Hubventil ausgebildet sein kann. Hierzu ist im unteren Teil der Halterung 2 eine Hubeinrichtung 8 vorgesehen, die einen Druckluftanschluß 9 aufweist, der über eine Hubplatte 10 das Kartuschenventil 7 öffnet.At the lower end of the cartridge 1, a cartridge valve 7 is provided, which as Lift valve can be formed. For this purpose, a is in the lower part of the bracket 2 Lifting device 8 is provided, which has a compressed air connection 9, which has a Lift plate 10 opens the cartridge valve 7.

Die Druckbeaufschlagung des Kartuschenkolbens 5 läßt sich über ein Ventil 11 steuern, das mit einem weiteren Ventil 12 zusammenwirkt, über das das Kartuschenventil 7 geöffnet wird. Die nicht dargestellte Steuereinheit, die auch die Signale des Sensors 6 empfängt, beaufschlagt zunächst mit einem konstanten Arbeitsdruck über das Ventil 11 den Kartuschenkolben 5 bei geschlossenem Kartuschenventil 7. Ist die Stellung des Kartuschenkolbens 5 ermittelt, wird über das Ventil 12 das Kartuschenventil 7 so lange geöffnet, bis der Kartuschenkolben 5 in eine voreingestellte Soll-Position verfahren ist, was einer bestimmten ausgepreßten Farbmenge entspricht. Bei Erreichen dieser Soll-Position wird die Druckbeaufschlagung des Kartuschenventils 7 über das Ventil 12 unterbrochen, so daß das Kartuschenventil 7 wieder geschlossen wird, was über die Druckbeaufschlagung des Kartuschenkolbens 5 automatisch erfolgt, oder mit anderen Worten gesagt, beim Erreichen dieser Soll-Position wird das Kartuschenventil 7 über das Ventil 12 mit Druck beaufschlagt, so daß das Kartuschenventil 7 geschlossen wird, was über die Druckbeaufschlagung der Hubeinrichtung 8 automatisch erfolgt.The pressurization of the cartridge piston 5 can be done via a valve 11 control that cooperates with another valve 12, via which Cartridge valve 7 is opened. The control unit, not shown, which also the Receives signals from sensor 6, initially applied a constant Working pressure via the valve 11 the cartridge piston 5 when closed Cartridge valve 7. If the position of the cartridge piston 5 is determined, the Valve 12 opens the cartridge valve 7 until the cartridge piston 5 in a preset target position is moving, which is a certain squeezed Color quantity corresponds. When this target position is reached, the Pressurization of the cartridge valve 7 interrupted via the valve 12, see above that the cartridge valve 7 is closed again, what about the Pressurization of the cartridge piston 5 takes place automatically, or with in other words, when it reaches this target position, it will Cartridge valve 7 pressurized via valve 12, so that Cartridge valve 7 is closed, which is about the pressurization of the Lifting device 8 takes place automatically.

Das Schlauchquetschventil 13 besteht aus einem Schlauch 14, dem ein Ventilkörper 15 zugeordnet ist. Der Ventilkörper 15 umfaßt den Schlauch 14 und enthält einen Kolben 16, mit dem der Schlauch zugequetscht werden kann. Über einen Druckluftanschluß 17, der von dem Ventil 12 steuerbar ist, wird der Kolben 16 soweit verfahren, bis der Schlauch 14 geschlossen ist. Zum Öffnen des Schlauchs 14 wird der Kolben 16 über eine Druckfeder 18 in seine Ausgangsstellung zurückbewegt.Fig. 2 shows a pinch valve 13, which at the outlet of the Cartridge 1 is provided. The hose pinch valve 13 consists of a Hose 14, to which a valve body 15 is assigned. The valve body 15 comprises the hose 14 and contains a piston 16 with which the hose is squeezed can be. Via a compressed air connection 17, which can be controlled by the valve 12, the piston 16 is moved until the hose 14 is closed. To the Opening the hose 14, the piston 16 is in its via a compression spring 18 Moved back to the starting position.

Fig. 3 zeigt am unteren Ende der Kartusche 1 ein Drehventil 19, das an der Austrittsöffnung 20 der Kartusche 1 vorgesehen ist. Der Ventilkörper 21 weist einen Dreheinsatz 22 auf, der ähnliche Öffnungen 23 wie die Austrittsöffnungen 20 aufweist. Durch Verdrehen um etwa 90° Grad läßt sich der Dreheinsatz 22 in eine geschlossene Stellung verdrehen, wie gezeichnet, oder in eine zweite Stellung, bei der die Austrittsöffnungen 20 und die Öffnungen 23 des Dreheinsatzes 22 übereinstimmen, so daß Farbe austreten kann. Die Steuerung selbst kann z. B. über einen nicht dargestellten Pneumatikzylinder erfolgen, der mit dem Dreheinsatz 22 gekoppelt ist. Fig. 3 shows at the lower end of the cartridge 1, a rotary valve 19 which at the Outlet opening 20 of the cartridge 1 is provided. The valve body 21 has one Rotary insert 22, which has openings 23 similar to the outlet openings 20 having. By turning through about 90 °, the rotating insert 22 can be in one turn closed position, as drawn, or to a second position, at which the outlet openings 20 and the openings 23 of the rotary insert 22nd match so that color can leak out. The controller itself can e.g. B. about a pneumatic cylinder, not shown, take place with the rotary insert 22nd is coupled.
