Description

Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung in einer Beutelmaschine Transport and separation device in a bag machine

Beschreibungdescription

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung zum Transportieren und Vereinzeln von Schlauchstücken von einem vorperforierten und/oder vorgeschnittenen Schlauch, bei welchem der Abriss des vorperforierten Schlauchstücks zwischen mit einer höheren Geschwindigkeit betriebenen Abrisswalzen- und Vorzugswalzenpaaren erfolgt und bei welchem der Abstand zwischen dem Abrisswalzenpaar dem letzten Vorzugswalzenpaar durch eine Positionsveränderung einer Walze einstellbar ist.The invention relates to a transport and separating device for transporting and separating tube pieces from a pre-perforated and / or pre-cut tube, in which the pre-perforated tube piece is torn between pairs of tear-off rollers and feed roller pairs operated at a higher speed and in which the distance between the pair of tear-off rollers last preferred roller pair is adjustable by changing the position of a roller.

Derartige Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtungen finden vor allem bei Beutelmaschinen Verwendung. Zahlreiche Druckschriften befassen sich bereits mit solchen Papierbeutelmaschinen. Beispielhaft seien die DE 41 15 161 A1 , die DE 42 05 062 A1 und die DE 25 48 161 genannt. In solchen Maschinen finden Vorrichtungen Verwendung, welche den bereits vorgeschnittenen beziehungsweise vorperforierten Papierschlauch zu Papierschlauchabschnitten vereinzeln. An solchen Maschinen werden des öfteren Formatwechsel, das heißt Änderungen der Beutelhöhe beziehungsweise der Papierschlauchabschnittlänge, vorgenommen. Zu diesem Zweck wird einmal der Abstand zwischen zwei Perforations- oder Schnittlinien auf dem Papierschlauch verändert. In der Regel erfolgt dies durch eine Einstellung an einen dafür gedachten Perforations- oder Schneidzylinder. Des weiteren werden insbesondere bei Papierbeutelmaschinen Einstellungen an der Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung vorgenommen. Mit einer solchen Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung befasst sich unter anderem auch die DE 35 42 923 A1 , wobei die in dieser Anmeldung behandelten Fragestellungen nicht beleuchtet werden. Daher wird in der gegenständlichen Beschreibung noch einmal auf den zugrundeliegenden Stand der Technik eingegangen.Such transport and separation devices are used primarily in bag machines. Numerous publications are already dealing with such paper bag machines. Examples include DE 41 15 161 A1, DE 42 05 062 A1 and DE 25 48 161. In such machines, devices are used which separate the already pre-cut or pre-perforated paper tube into paper tube sections. On such machines, format changes, that is to say changes in the bag height or the length of the paper tube section, are carried out frequently. For this purpose, the distance between two perforation or cut lines on the paper tube is changed. As a rule, this is done by an adjustment to a perforation or cutting cylinder intended for this purpose. Furthermore, settings are made on the transport and separation device, particularly in the case of paper bag machines. With such a transport and separating device deals among other things DE 35 42 923 A1, whereby the questions dealt with in this application are not illuminated. Therefore, the underlying description of the prior art is discussed again in the present description.

An dieser Stelle kann jedoch bereits ausgeführt werden, dass die Anpassung in der Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung darin besteht, dass der Abstand zwischen einem Abreißwalzen- und zumindest einem Vorzugswalzenpaar entsprechend der gewünschten Abschnittlänge eingestellt wird.At this point, however, it can already be stated that the adaptation in the transport and separating device consists in that the distance between a tear-off roller pair and at least one feed roller pair is set according to the desired section length.

Beim Stand der Technik geschieht das dadurch, dass die dem Abreißwalzenpaar in Trahsportrichtung z des Papierschlauchs vorgelagerten Vorzugswalzen eingestellt werden. Hierzu wird zumindest eine der Vorzugswalzen von dem zu vereinzelnden Papierschlauchabschnitt abgehoben, so dass keine Fixierung des Papierschlauchabschnitts zwischen dem betroffenen Vorzugswalzenpaar mehr besteht. Da die Abreißwalze mit einer höheren Umfangsgeschwindigkeit als die Vorzugswalzen betrieben wird, wird auf diese Weise der Papierschlauchabschnitt von dem nachfolgenden Papierschlauch vereinzelt. Bei besonders langen Papierschlauchabschnitten betrifft diese Maßnahme nicht nur das letzte der Abreißwalze vorgelagerte Vorzugswalzenpaar, sondern kann mehrere dieser Vorzugswalzenpaare betreffen. Die Abhebung einer der Vorzugswalzen des Vorzugswalzenpaares geschieht über eine kurvengesteuerte Differentialverstellung. Daher sind in der Regel bei Formatänderungen Wechsel dieser Kurven notwendig. Die zur Formatänderung notwendigen Einstellarbeiten sind aus diesem Grund aufwändig.In the state of the art, this is done by setting the preferred rollers upstream of the tear-off roller pair in the direction of the sports arm z of the paper tube. For this purpose, at least one of the feed rollers is lifted off the paper tube section to be separated, so that there is no longer any fixation of the paper tube section between the pair of feed rollers concerned. In this way, since the tear-off roller is operated at a higher peripheral speed than the feed rollers, the paper tube section is separated from the subsequent paper tube. In the case of particularly long paper tube sections, this measure not only affects the last pair of preferred rollers upstream of the tear-off roller, but can also affect several of these preferred roller pairs. One of the preferred rollers of the preferred roller pair is lifted off via a cam-controlled differential adjustment. Therefore, changes of these curves are usually necessary when the format changes. For this reason, the adjustment work required to change the format is complex.

Daher besteht die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung darin, eine Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung vorzuschlagen, bei dem sich mit geringerem Aufwand Formatänderungen durchführen lassen.The object of the present invention is therefore to propose a transport and separation device in which format changes can be carried out with less effort.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Position zumindest einer Abreißoder Vorzugswalze in Transportrichtung z der Beutelbestandteile veränderbar ist. Diese Erfindung ist besonders vorteilhaft ausführbar, wenn diese eine Walze die letzte und/oder die vorletzte Vorzugswalze ist, welche dem Abreißwalzenpaar in Transportrichtung der Beutelbestandteile vorgelagert ist. Dann lässt sich unmittelbar der Abstand zwischen dem letzten Vorzugswalzenpaar, welches das Papiermaterial tatsächlich greift, und der Abreißwalze einstellen. Aufgrund der erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahme kann auf eine Vielzahl von Vorzugswalzen verzichtet werden. Daher ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn mehrere Vorzugswalzen einen Transportriemen führen, der dafür sorgt, dass das Beutelmaterial über eine längere Strecke in dem Abreißwerk geführt werden kann, ohne in Zwischenräume zwischen Walzen zu fallen. Des weiteren ist diese Maßnahme vorteilhaft in Verbindung mit einer Verstellbarkeit des letzten oder vorletzten Transportwalzenpaares vor dem Abreißwalzenpaar, da eine Weiterverstellung in Richtung der Beutelbestandteile nicht mehr zu Lücken zwischen Walzen führen kann.This object is achieved in that the position of at least one tear-off or feed roller in the transport direction z of the bag components can be changed. This invention can be carried out particularly advantageously if this one roller is the last and / or the penultimate preferred roller, which is the Tear-off roller pair is upstream in the transport direction of the bag components. Then the distance between the last pair of preferred rollers, which actually grips the paper material, and the tear-off roller can be set. Because of the measure according to the invention, a large number of preferred rollers can be dispensed with. It is therefore particularly advantageous if a plurality of preferred rollers guide a transport belt which ensures that the bag material can be guided in the tear-off unit over a longer distance without falling into gaps between the rollers. Furthermore, this measure is advantageous in connection with an adjustability of the last or penultimate pair of transport rollers in front of the tear-off roller pair, since further adjustment in the direction of the bag components can no longer lead to gaps between rollers.

Wie eingangs erwähnt ist die Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Abreißwerkes, insbesondere bei der Beutelherstellung, von Vorteil.As mentioned at the outset, the use of the tear-off mechanism according to the invention, in particular in the manufacture of bags, is advantageous.

Die einzelnen Figuren zeigen:The individual figures show:

Fig. 1 Eine Skizze einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung mit einem Transportriemen. Fig. 2 Eine Skizze eines Abreißwerkes nach dem Stand der Technik. Fig. 1 zeigt eine erfindungsgemäße Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung 1 in einer Skizze von der Seite. Entlang dem Transportweg 4 des Schlauches 6 respektive des Schlauchabschnitts 8 wird in der Transportrichtung z ein Schlauch 6 zugeführt. Dieser Schlauch 6 durchläuft zuerst eine Schneidwerk 9, welche den Schlauch 6 quer zu seiner Transportrichtung z zumindest teilweise mit Schnitten versehen. Die nicht mit Schnitten versehenen Abschnitte sind in der Regel bereits zuvor mit Perforationen versehen worden, wobei die Schnitte und die Perforationen im wesentlichen auf einer Linie P verlaufen. Diese 9 besteht aus der Schneidwalze 10, der Gegenlage 11 und den diesen beiden Elemente zugeordneten Schneidmessern 12, 13. Durch die Einstellung des Schneidmessers 13 beziehungsweise durch den Abstand zwischen zwei quer zur Transportrichtung z verlaufenden Querschnitten wird die Länge der einzelnen Schlauchabschnitte 8 und damit die Länge der späteren Beutel vorbestimmt. Doch zunächst wird der Schlauch 6 entlang der Transportrichtung z weiter in die Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung 1 transportiert. Er 6 erreicht dort ein Gebiet, in dem er zwischen dem oberen und unteren Transportriemen 14 und 15 eingeklemmt und von diesen transportiert wird. In der Raumrichtung x quer zur Transportrichtung z der Sackbestandteile findet sich ein weiterer, in der Zeichnung nicht sichtbarer Riemen. Alle Riemen werden von den verschiedenen Abzugswalzen 2a, 2b, 2 geführt und/oder angetrieben. In der Regel bestehen erfindungsgemäße Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung 1 aus einer solchen Doppelriemenkonstruktion, bei der jeweils zwei Riemen je eine Seite der Sackbestandteile greifen und in der quer zur Transportrichtung z des Schlauches 6 beziehungsweise der Schlauchabschnitte 8 verlaufenden Raumrichtung x zwei solche Riemensysteme vorgesehen sind. Je nach Breite des Schlauches 6 kann der Abstand der Riemenpaare in Richtung x verändert werden. Die unteren Riemen können auch als ein breiter Riemen ausgebildet werden, der dann mindestens die Breite der größten, in der gesamten Beutelmaschine verarbeitbaren Schlauchbreite aufweist.Fig. 1 A sketch of a device according to the invention with a conveyor belt. Fig. 2 A sketch of a tear-off device according to the prior art. 1 shows a transport and separating device 1 according to the invention in a sketch from the side. A hose 6 is fed along the transport path 4 of the hose 6 or the hose section 8 in the transport direction z. This hose 6 first passes through a cutting unit 9, which at least partially provides the hose 6 with cuts transversely to its transport direction z. The sections not provided with cuts have as a rule already been provided with perforations beforehand, the cuts and the perforations essentially running on a line P. This 9 consists of the cutting roller 10, the counter-layer 11 and the cutting knives 12, 13 assigned to these two elements. By adjusting the cutting knife 13 or by the distance between two cross sections running transversely to the transport direction z, the length of the individual hose sections 8 and thus the Predetermined length of the later pouch. But first the hose 6 is transported further along the transport direction z into the transport and separation device 1. There he reaches an area in which he is clamped between the upper and lower transport belts 14 and 15 and is transported by these. In the spatial direction x transverse to the transport direction z of the bag components there is another belt that is not visible in the drawing. All belts are guided and / or driven by the different take-off rollers 2a, 2b, 2. As a rule, the transport and separation device 1 according to the invention consists of such a double belt construction, in which two belts each grip one side of the sack components and two such belt systems are provided in the spatial direction x extending transversely to the transport direction z of the hose 6 or the hose sections 8. Depending on the width of the hose 6, the distance between the pairs of belts can be changed in the direction x. The lower belts can also be designed as a wide belt, which then has at least the width of the largest hose width that can be processed in the entire bag machine.

Die in der Transportrichtung z der Sackbestandteile dem aus den Walzen 3 bestehenden Abreißwalzenpaar 3 vorgelagerten Abzugswalzen 2a und 2b sind verschieblich gelagert. Die Abzugswalze 2a ist so angeordnet, dass der Riemen 14 in diesem Bereich nicht mehr am Schlauchabschnitt 8 anliegt. In Transportrichtung z entsteht hinter der Abzugswalze 2b zwischen den Transportriemen 14, 15 eine trichterförmige Öffnung. In dem Bereich dieser trichterförmigen Öffnung wird der betreffende Schlauchabschnitt 8 nicht mehr klemmend geführt. Wird der Schlauchabschnitt 8 von den Abreißwalzen 3 ergriffen und befindet sich die nächstfolgende Perforier- oder Schneidlinie P bereits im Bereich der trichterförmigen Öffnung, so wird der Schlauchabschnitt 8 von dem Schlauch 6 abgetrennt. Um eine zuverlässige Abtrennung des Schlauchabschnittes zu gewährleisten, ist die Abzugwalze 2b in Transportrichtung z verschiebbar. Dadurch lässt sich die Länge der trichterförmigen Öffnung gemäß der gewünschten Länge des Schlauchabschnittes 8 so einstellen, dass der abzutrennende Schlauchabschnitt 8 mit seiner Perforierlinie gerade eben den trichterförmigen Abschnitt erreicht. Der Bereich des Schlauchs 6 unmittelbar an der Perforieroder Schneidlinie P wird dann im Moment des Abtrennens noch nahezu vollständig klemmend zwischen den Riemen 14, 15 gehalten. Der abgerissene Schlauchabschnitt 8 erlangt durch die etwas schnellere Rotation der Abreißwalzen 3 einen gewissen Vorlauf. Auf diese Weise kann der entlang seines Transportweges 4 transportierte Schlauchabschnitt 8 unabhängig von allen anderen Schlauchabschnitten weiter verarbeitet werden. Eine Weiterverarbeitung erfolgt in der Regel in dem sich anschließenden Bodenmacher.The take-off rollers 2a and 2b which are upstream of the tear-off roller pair 3 consisting of the rollers 3 are in the transport direction z of the bag components slidably mounted. The take-off roller 2a is arranged in such a way that the belt 14 no longer abuts the hose section 8 in this area. In the transport direction z, a funnel-shaped opening is created behind the take-off roller 2b between the transport belts 14, 15. In the area of this funnel-shaped opening, the relevant hose section 8 is no longer guided in a clamped manner. If the hose section 8 is gripped by the tear-off rollers 3 and the next perforating or cutting line P is already in the region of the funnel-shaped opening, the hose section 8 is separated from the hose 6. In order to ensure a reliable separation of the hose section, the take-off roller 2b can be displaced in the transport direction z. As a result, the length of the funnel-shaped opening can be adjusted in accordance with the desired length of the hose section 8 such that the hose section 8 to be separated just reaches the funnel-shaped section with its perforation line. The area of the hose 6 directly at the perforating or cutting line P is then held almost completely clamped between the belts 14, 15 at the moment of severing. The torn off hose section 8 achieves a certain advance due to the somewhat faster rotation of the tear-off rollers 3. In this way, the hose section 8 transported along its transport path 4 can be processed further independently of all other hose sections. Further processing usually takes place in the subsequent floor maker.

Die Abzugswalzen 2a und 2b lassen sich in die Richtung y senkrecht zur Transportrichtung z verschieben. Auf diese Weise lässt sich der gesamte Riementransport auf die Stärke des Schlauches 6 einstellen. In diesem Zusammenhang ist es erwähnenswert, dass ich die Abzugswalzen 2, 2a, 2b für jede der zuvor beschriebenen Riementransportkonstruktionen vorteilhafterweise separat verschieben lassen, um so auch Schläuche, die über ihre Breite verschiedene Stärken aufweisen; zuverlässig und genau verarbeiten zu können. Verschiedene Dicken über die Schlauchbreite kommen beispielsweise durch die für Schlauchbildung notwendige Überlappung und Verklebung zustande. Figur 2 zeigt ein Abreißwerk nach dem Stand der Technik. Natürlich erfolgt auch nach dem Stand der Technik eine Vorperforation in einem dafür vorgesehenen Perforationswerk und ein zumindest teilweises Einschneiden in dem Schneidwerk 10, welches wieder aus der Schneidwalze 10, der Gegenlage 11 und den diesen beiden Elementen zugeordneten Messern 12 und 13 besteht. Wieder erfolgt der Transport entlang des Transportweges 4, wobei auf die Darstellung der Beutelbestandteile 6, 8 verzichtet wurde. Der eigentliche Transport erfolgt wieder durch die Abzugswalzen 2, 2a, 2b und 2c, wobei die Schlauchabschnitte 8 nicht kleiner sein sollten als der Abstand zwischen zwei solcher Walzenpaare, um die Schlauchabschnitte 8 vernünftig transportieren zu können. Wieder ist davon auszugehen, dass in der quer zu den beiden Raumrichtungen z und y dargestellten Raumrichtung x, welche in die Zeichenebene hineinragt, noch einmal die gleiche Anordnung von Walzen vorgesehen ist, um die Beutelbestandteile an ihrer anderen Seite zu halten. Wieder erfolgt der Abriss der vorperforierten und vorgeschnittenen Schlauchabschnitte 6 dadurch, dass die Abreißwalzen 3 mit größerer Umfangsgeschwindigkeit betrieben werden. Die Einstellung der Abzugswalzen auf die beabsichtigte Schlauchabschnittslänge erfolgt jedoch dadurch, dass die einstellbaren Abzugswalzen 2a durch kurvengesteuertes Abheben Sackbestandteile freigeben. Das heißt bei sehr langen Schlauchabschnitten ist davon auszugehen, dass sowohl die Abzugswalze 2a als auch die Abzugswalze 2b angehoben werden müssen, um den Sackabschnitt rechtzeitig freizugeben. Das Abreißen des Schlauchabschnittes erfolgt dann zwischen dem Walzenspalt zwischen der Abzugswalze 2c und der nicht-einstellbaren Abzugswalze 2 sowie dem Spalt zwischen den Abreißwalzen 3. Bei kürzeren Schlauchabschnitten kann es vorkommen, dass lediglich die Abzugswalze 2a angehoben werden muss. Um die entsprechenden Änderungen in der Funktionsweise vorzunehmen, ist es notwendig, dass die Kurvenpakete bei Formateinstellungen ausgetauscht werden. Diese Arbeit ist aufwändig. Ähnlich wie bei der erfindungsgemäßen Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung 1 werden die Sackbestandteile in der Regel, wenn diese Vorrichtung 1 Bestandteil einer Beutelmaschine ist, im Anschluss an die Transport- und Vereinzelungsvorrichtung 1 einem Bodenmacherzylinder zugeführt. Wie erwähnt wurden bei Fig. 2 keine Sackbestandteile aus darstellerischen Gründen gezeigt. The take-off rollers 2a and 2b can be moved in the direction y perpendicular to the transport direction z. In this way, the entire belt transport can be adjusted to the strength of the hose 6. In this context, it is worth mentioning that I advantageously have the take-off rollers 2, 2a, 2b separately shifted for each of the belt transport constructions described above, in order in this way also to have hoses that have different thicknesses over their width; to be able to process reliably and precisely. Different thicknesses across the width of the hose come about, for example, due to the overlap and bonding required for hose formation. Figure 2 shows a tear-off device according to the prior art. Of course, according to the prior art, a pre-perforation takes place in a perforation unit provided for this purpose and an at least partial incision in the cutting unit 10, which again consists of the cutting roller 10, the counter-surface 11 and the knives 12 and 13 assigned to these two elements. Again the transport takes place along the transport path 4, the illustration of the bag components 6, 8 being dispensed with. The actual transport takes place again through the take-off rolls 2, 2a, 2b and 2c, the hose sections 8 should not be smaller than the distance between two such roll pairs in order to be able to transport the hose sections 8 reasonably. Again, it can be assumed that the same arrangement of rollers is provided again in the spatial direction x, which extends transversely to the two spatial directions z and y, and which protrudes into the plane of the drawing, in order to hold the bag components on their other side. Again, the pre-perforated and pre-cut hose sections 6 are torn off by the fact that the tear-off rollers 3 are operated at a greater peripheral speed. However, the setting of the take-off rollers to the intended length of the hose section takes place in that the adjustable take-off rollers 2 a release bag components by cam-controlled lifting. In the case of very long hose sections, this means that it must be assumed that both the take-off roller 2a and the take-off roller 2b must be raised in order to release the bag section in good time. The hose section is then torn off between the nip between the take-off roll 2c and the non-adjustable take-off roll 2 and the nip between the tear-off rolls 3. In the case of shorter hose sections, it may happen that only the take-off roll 2a has to be raised. In order to make the corresponding changes in the mode of operation, it is necessary that the curve packages are exchanged in the format settings. This work is complex. Similar to the transport and separating device 1 according to the invention, the bag components are usually fed to a soil-making cylinder after the transport and separating device 1, if this device 1 is part of a bag machine. How 2, no sack components were shown for illustrative reasons.
