Description

APPAREIL D'IMPRESSION ROTATIF, NOTAMMENT DU TYPE FLEXOGRAPHIQUE ROTARY PRINTING APPARATUS, ESPECIALLY OF THE FLEXOGRAPHIC TYPE
La présente invention concerne un appareil d'impression rotatif sans mouillage, notamment du type flexographique, pour effectuer une impression sur une nappe de matériau en plusieurs couleurs ou trames.The present invention relates to a rotary printing device without wetting, in particular of the flexographic type, for printing on a sheet of material in several colors or wefts.
Les appareils d'impression du type flexographique comportent généralement un cylindre plaque, appelé encore "forme imprimante" dont la surface périphérique en relief reçoit de l'encre d'un cylindre encreur et qui transfère cette encre sur une nappe d'un matériau, tel que papier ou carton, défilant entre la forme imprimante et un cylindre contrepartie tangents entre eux. Comme la forme imprimante a une surface en relief, il peut arriver, si la nappe de matériau à imprimer ne présente pas une surface parfaitement plate, que des manques d'impression apparaissent sur la nappe après son passage dans l'appareil d'impression. Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, il a déjà été envisagé d'interposer entre la forme imprimante et la nappe de matériau, un cylindre blanchet, à couche périphérique élastique, ce cylindre blanchet recevant l'encre de la forme imprimante et la transférant sur la nappe de matériau. Il existe à ce jour des appareils comportant un seul cylindre blanchet, disposé d'un seul côté de la nappe de matériau, dans le cas d'une impression recto, et d'autres appareils comportant deux cylindres blanchet tangents respectivement aux deux faces opposées de la nappe, dans le cas d'une impression recto-verso. La présente invention concerne des perfectionnements à ce type d'appareil d'impression dans le but d'en simplifier la construction et de réduire son prix de revient. A cet effet, cet appareil d'impression rotatif sans mouillage, notamment du type flexographique, pour effectuer une impression sur une nappe de matériau en plusieurs couleurs ou trames, cette nappe défilant entre un cylindre blanchet, à couche périphérique élastique, et un cylindre contrepartie (ou un autre cylindre blanchet) tangents l'un à l'autre et entraînés en rotation, caractérisé en ce que le ou chaque cylindre blanchet, à surface dépourvue de tout liquide de mouillage, est tangent à au moins deux formes imprimantes, elles-mêmes tangentes à des cylindres encreurs respectifs, de manière à déposer sur la surface périphérique du ou de chaque cylindre blanchet commun des zones encrées différentes soit de la même couleur mais de trames différentes soit de couleurs différentes, en vue de leur transfert, par le cylindre blanchet, sur la nappe de matériau.Printing devices of the flexographic type generally include a plate cylinder, also called a "printer shape", the raised peripheral surface of which receives ink from an ink cylinder and which transfers this ink onto a sheet of material, such as as paper or cardboard, scrolling between the printer form and a tangent counterpart cylinder between them. As the printing form has a raised surface, it may happen, if the sheet of material to be printed does not have a perfectly flat surface, that printing gaps appear on the sheet after it has passed through the printing apparatus. To overcome this drawback, it has already been envisaged to interpose between the printing form and the sheet of material, a blanket cylinder, with elastic peripheral layer, this blanket cylinder receiving the ink of the printing form and transferring it onto the sheet of material. To date, there are devices comprising a single blanket cylinder, disposed on one side of the sheet of material, in the case of recto printing, and other devices comprising two blanket cylinders tangent respectively to the two opposite faces of the tablecloth, in the case of a double-sided printing. The present invention relates to improvements to this type of printing apparatus with the aim of simplifying its construction and reducing its cost price. To this end, this rotary printing device without wetting, in particular of the flexographic type, for carrying out a printing on a sheet of material in several colors or wefts, this sheet moving between a blanket cylinder, with elastic peripheral layer, and a counterpart cylinder (or another blanket cylinder) tangent to each other and driven in rotation, characterized in that the or each blanket cylinder, with a surface devoid of any wetting liquid, is tangent to at least two printing forms, themselves same tangents to respective ink cylinders, so as to deposit on the peripheral surface of the or each common blanket cylinder different inked zones either of the same color but of different wefts or of different colors, with a view to their transfer, by the cylinder blanket, on the sheet of material.
On décrira ci-après, à titre d'exemple non limitatif, une forme d'exécution de la présente invention, en référence au dessin annexé sur lequel :An embodiment of the present invention will be described below, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
La figure 1 est une vue en élévation schématique, partiellement en coupe verticale et longitudinale, d'un appareil d'impression flexographique suivant l'invention.Figure 1 is a schematic elevational view, partially in vertical and longitudinal section, of a flexographic printing apparatus according to the invention.
La figure 2 est une vue en coupe verticale et longitudinale, à plus grande échelle, illustrant une zone de contact entre une forme imprimante et le cylindre blanchet commun de l'appareil. L'appareil d'impression rotatif du type flexographique suivant la présente invention qui est représenté schématiquement sur la figure 1, est prévu pour effectuer sur une impression sur une face (recto) d'une nappe de matériau 1, telle qu'une nappe de papier ou de carton, défilant à travers l'appareil de la gauche vers la droite sur le dessin. Cet appareil comporte plusieurs cylindres horizontaux, parallèles et tangents les uns aux autres. La nappe de matériau 1 passe entre un cylindre contrepartie inférieur 2, entraîné en rotation dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, et un cylindre blanchet supérieur 3 entraîné en rotation dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre, ces deux cylindres étant tangents entre eux. Le cylindre blanchet 3 comporte, de la manière habituelle, une couche périphérique 3a en matériau élastique et il est en contact avec la face supérieure de la nappe 1 pour réaliser l'impression recto sur cette face.Figure 2 is a vertical and longitudinal sectional view, on a larger scale, illustrating a contact area between a printing form and the common blanket cylinder of the device. The rotary printing apparatus of the flexographic type according to the present invention which is shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, is intended to perform on a printing on one side (front) of a sheet of material 1, such as a sheet of paper or cardboard, scrolling through the device from left to right on the drawing. This device comprises several horizontal cylinders, parallel and tangent to each other. The sheet of material 1 passes between a lower counterpart cylinder 2, driven in rotation in a clockwise direction, and an upper blanket cylinder 3 driven in rotation in a counterclockwise direction, these two cylinders being tangent to each other. The blanket cylinder 3 comprises, in the usual way, a peripheral layer 3a of elastic material and it is in contact with the upper face of the sheet 1 to carry out the front printing on this face.
Suivant l'invention, le cylindre blanchet 3 est en contact, à sa partie supérieure, avec deux cylindres plaque ou formes imprimantes 4 et 5. Ces deux formes imprimantes 4 et 5 sont à leur tour respectivement en contact avec des cylindres encreurs tangents 6 et 7. Les formes imprimantes 4 et 5 reçoivent ainsi des couches d'encre transférées à partir des cylindres encreurs respectifs 6 et 7, ces encres pouvant être les mêmes ou bien de couleurs différentes. Ces couleurs sont ensuite transférées successivement sur la surface périphérique du blanchet 3, dépourvue de tout liquide de mouillage, par les formes imprimantes 4 et 5.According to the invention, the blanket cylinder 3 is in contact, at its upper part, with two plate cylinders or printing forms 4 and 5. These two printing forms 4 and 5 are in turn respectively in contact with tangent ink cylinders 6 and 7. The printing forms 4 and 5 thus receive layers of ink transferred from the respective ink cylinders 6 and 7, these inks may be the same or else of different colors. These colors are then transferred successively to the peripheral surface of the blanket 3, devoid of any wetting liquid, by the printing forms 4 and 5.
La figure 2 illustre schématiquement le transfert, sur la surface périphérique du cylindre blanchet 3 dépourvue d'un quelconque liquide de mouillage, de l'encre déposée par la forme imprimante 5 située à gauche sur la figure 1. Sur cette surface périphérique apparaissent des points d'impression a qui correspondent à des zones encrées transférées par la première forme imprimante 4 et ayant une première couleur ou trame. La seconde forme imprimante 5 est représentée en train de transférer, à partir d'un relief 5a, une zone encrée b, d'une seconde couleur ou trame, sur la surface périphérique du cylindre blanchet 3. La figure 2 montre également une autre zone encrée b précédemment transférée par un autre relief 5b de la forme imprimante 5.FIG. 2 schematically illustrates the transfer, on the peripheral surface of the blanket cylinder 3 devoid of any wetting liquid, of the ink deposited by the printing form 5 situated on the left in FIG. 1. On this peripheral surface appear printing dots a which correspond to inked areas transferred by the first printing form 4 and having a first color or weft. The second printer form 5 is shown transferring, from a relief 5a, an inked area b, of a second color or weft, onto the peripheral surface of the blanket cylinder 3. FIG. 2 also shows another area inked b previously transferred by another relief 5b of the printer form 5.
D'après ce qui précède, on voit que le cylindre blanchet porte, sur sa périphérie, des zones encrées a et b réparties suivant les motifs à imprimer sur la nappe de matériau 1. Ces zones encrées sont ensuite transférées à la nappe 1 dans la zone de contact entre le cylindre blanchet 3 et le cylindre contrepartie 2.From the above, we see that the blanket cylinder carries, on its periphery, inked areas a and b distributed according to the patterns to be printed on the sheet of material 1. These inked areas are then transferred to the sheet 1 in the contact area between the blanket cylinder 3 and the counter cylinder 2.
Bien que la description qui précède ait porté sur un appareil d'impression du type flexographique, il va de soi que l'invention peut s'appliquer également à n'importe quel autre appareil d'impression utilisant une forme imprimante à surface dure. Par ailleurs, en fonction de l'espace disponible, l'appareil d'impression pourrait comporter plus de deux formes imprimantes en contact avec le cylindre blanchet commun 3.Although the above description relates to a printing apparatus of the flexographic type, it goes without saying that the invention can also be applied to any other printing apparatus using a hard surface printer form. Furthermore, depending on the space available, the printing device could include more than two printing forms in contact with the common blanket cylinder 3.
L'invention pourrait s'appliquer ainsi à un appareil d'impression recto-verso. Dans ce cas le cylindre contrepartie 2 serait remplacé par un second ensemble de cylindres inférieurs analogues aux cylindres supérieurs 3-7, cet ensemble comportant un second cylindre blanchet en contact avec la face inférieure de la nappe 1, juste en dessous du cylindre blanchet supérieur 3, des formes imprimantes analogues aux formes imprimantes supérieures 4,5 et tangentes au cylindre blanchet inférieur et des cylindres encreurs analogues aux cylindres encreurs supérieurs 6,7 et tangents respectivement aux formes imprimantes inférieures.The invention could thus be applied to a duplex printing device. In this case the counterpart cylinder 2 would be replaced by a second set of lower cylinders similar to the upper cylinders 3-7, this assembly comprising a second blanket cylinder in contact with the underside of the sheet 1, just below the upper blanket cylinder 3, printing forms similar to the upper printing forms 4.5 and tangent to the lower blanket cylinder and ink cylinders similar to the upper ink cylinders 6,7 and tangent respectively to the lower printing forms.
Suivant une autre variante chaque forme imprimante 4,5 pourrait être constituée par un cylindre à surface lisse recevant l'image encrée par un système sans contact, par exemple du type à jet d'encre, électrostatique etc..., ou bien encore présentant des zones à propriétés de mouillabilité différentes vis-à-vis de l'encre, pour constituer l'image à reproduire, ces zones étant, par exemple, des zones à rugosités différentes, des zones siliconées etc... According to another variant, each printer shape 4.5 could consist of a cylinder with a smooth surface receiving the inked image by a contactless system, for example of the inkjet, electrostatic type, etc., or else having zones with different wettability properties vis-à-vis the ink, to constitute the image to be reproduced, these zones being, for example, zones with different roughness, silicone zones, etc.
