Scraper device for a printing machine

摘要

The present invention relates to a scraper device for a printing machine which comprises a scraper body (20) having longitudinal blades (2) and lateral sealing elements, and having ink inlet and outlet passages (24). The scraper body (20) is supported by a scraper support (10) adjacent to an inking roller of a printing machine, and having ink supply and discharge passages (11) connected to respective ink supply and discharge conduits of an ink circulation device. Positioning and fixing means allow fixing the scraper body (20) to the scraper support (10) in an operating position in which openings (24a) of said ink inlet and outlet passages (24) of the scraper body (20) are in fluid communication with openings (11a) of said ink supply and discharge passages (11) of the scraper support (10).

主权项

1. A scraper device for a printing machine, the scraper device comprising:
a scraper support adjacent to an inking roller of a printing machine; a scraper body elongated in a longitudinal direction parallel to an axis of said inking roller, supported by said scraper support, said scraper body having a chamber surface extending along same; longitudinal blades fixed to the scraper body on transversely opposite sides of said chamber surface; lateral sealing elements installed in the scraper body at longitudinally opposite ends of the chamber surface; and at least one ink inlet passage and at least one ink outlet passage formed through the scraper body, open in said chamber surface and arranged for being connected to an ink circulation device, wherein the scraper support comprises an ink supply passage and an ink discharge passage connected to respective ink supply and discharge conduits of said ink circulation device, and positioning and fixing means are arranged for removably fixing the scraper body to the scraper support in an operating position in which openings of said ink inlet and outlet passages of the scraper body are in fluid communication with openings of said ink supply and discharge passages of the scraper support; and wherein the scraper support comprises a support surface that is substantially vertical in a working position on which said openings of the ink supply and discharge passages are formed, said support surface being configured for being coupled to a coupling surface of the scraper body in which said openings of the ink inlet and outlet passages are formed when the scraper body is fixed to the scraper support in the operating position; and wherein said positioning and fixing means comprise first positioning elements by way of guides installed in the scraper support and second positioning elements by way of projections installed in the scraper body, said first and second positioning elements being mated elements providing a mutual linear coupling and uncoupling by a linear sliding movement in a direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and parallel to said support surface of the scraper support.
