Description

La présente invention concerne un module comprenant un bâti, plus particulièrement destiné à une plieuse-colleuse. L'invention se rapporte également à une plieuse-colleuse équipée d'un tel module.The present invention relates to a module comprising a frame, more particularly intended for a folder-gluer. The invention also relates to a folder-gluer equipped with such a module.

Dans l'industrie de l'emballage, la fabrication des boîtes s'effectue en ligne, en pliant et en collant des découpes de carton au moyen de machines appelées plieuses-colleuses. Une plieuse-colleuse comprend une suite de modules et de stations, comprenant chacun des agencements fonctionnels. Le nombre de modules varie en fonction de la complexité des opérations de fabrication que nécessite le type de boîte choisi.In the packaging industry, boxes are produced online by folding and gluing cardboard blanks using machines called folder-gluers. A folder-gluer comprises a series of modules and stations, each comprising functional arrangements. The number of modules varies according to the complexity of the manufacturing operations required by the type of box chosen.

La plieuse-colleuse est équipée avec un margeur alimentant la machine découpe par découpe à partir d'une pile, un module d'alignement, un casseur précassant les plis non longitudinaux, des plieurs à crochets qui plient les pattes avants puis les pattes arrières de la découpe, une station d'encollage, un plieur pour le pliage des plis longitudinaux de la découpe, un presseur qui comprime l'ensemble des plis et dépose les boîtes en nappe, et un module de réception qui reçoit les boîtes tout en les maintenant pressées pour permettre à la colle de sécher.The folder-gluer is equipped with a feeder feeding the machine cutting by cutting from a stack, an alignment module, a breaker precuring the non-longitudinal folds, folders with hooks which bend the front legs and the rear legs of the cutting, a sizing station, a folder for folding the longitudinal folds of the blank, a presser that compresses all the folds and deposits the boxes in sheet, and a receiving module that receives the boxes while maintaining them pressed to allow the glue to dry.

Le convoyage des découpes d'une station à une autre selon une trajectoire sensiblement plane et horizontale se fait à l'aide de transporteurs à courroies qui, par friction, saisissent les découpes entre un transporteur inférieur et un transporteur supérieur. Le transporteur inférieur est muni de courroies inférieures et le transporteur supérieur est muni, soit de courroies supérieures, soit de galets d'appui supérieurs.The conveying of cuts from one station to another in a substantially flat and horizontal trajectory is carried out using belt conveyors which, by friction, grip the cuts between a lower conveyor and an upper conveyor. The lower conveyor is provided with lower belts and the upper conveyor is provided with either upper belts or upper support rollers.

Pour respecter certaines réglementations en matière d'information à destination des personnes malvoyantes ou aveugles, il est devenu nécessaire d'imprimer des messages en caractères braille sur certaines boîtes d'emballage, en particulier sur les boîtes de médicaments. Les caractères braille sont gaufrés sur une surface de la boîte pour faire apparaître des points en relief ou protubérances permettant une lecture tactile des messages.To comply with certain information regulations for the visually impaired or blind, it has become necessary to print messages in braille characters on some packaging boxes, especially on medicine boxes. Braille characters are embossed on a surface of the box to reveal raised dots or protuberances allowing tactile reading of messages.

Etat de la techniqueState of the art

Un exemple de technique de gaufrage réalisée avec un module de gaufrage de caractères braille dans une plieuse-colleuse est divulgué dans le document EP-1'932'657.An exemplary embossing technique performed with a Braille character embossing module in a folder-gluer is disclosed in EP-1,932,657.

Le module comporte un bâti principal formé essentiellement de deux parois verticales, avant et arrière, maintenues écartées l'une de l'autre par plusieurs entretoises. Le module comprend des transporteurs pour transporter les découpes. Le module comprend un dispositif associé au bâti principal, pour gaufrer les caractères brailles sur les découpes de carton défilant dans le module et ainsi dans la plieuse-colleuse.The module comprises a main frame formed essentially of two vertical walls, front and rear, held apart from one another by several spacers. The module includes carriers to transport the blanks. The module includes a device associated with the main frame, for embossing braille characters on the cardboard blanks scrolling in the module and thus in the folder-gluer.

Avant la mise en production, l'opérateur intervient dans la plieuse-colleuse pour effectuer des réglages de routine des agencements fonctionnels, ou pour des modifications plus importantes, qui sont fonctions du type de découpes devant être pliées. Des pièces d'usure, telles que des courroies, des galets, et d'autres encore, doivent être remplacées.Prior to production, the operator intervenes in the folder-gluer to make routine adjustments to the functional arrangements, or for larger changes, which are functions of the type of cutouts to be folded. Wear parts, such as belts, rollers, and others, must be replaced.

En cours de production, l'opérateur est également obligé d'arrêter la plieuse-colleuse, de façon à pouvoir enlever une découpe coincée, effectuer un nouvel ajustement de position de certaines pièces, nettoyer les agencements fonctionnels, voire changer des pièces cassées.During production, the operator is also obliged to stop the folder-gluer, so as to remove a cut-out cut, perform a new position adjustment of some parts, clean the functional arrangements or even change broken parts.

L'opérateur se penche par-dessus la paroi verticale du bâti pour accéder aux pièces et aux agencements fonctionnels. Dans certaines plieuse-colleuses de longueur importante, l'opérateur doit en faire le tour, de façon à accéder aux parties arrière, ce qui l'oblige à effectuer un déplacement d'au minimum 20 mètres. Dans certaines plieuse-colleuses prévues pour des découpes de largeur importante par exemple de 3'000 mm, l'opérateur doit enjamber l'une des parois avant ou arrière pour se glisser et rentrer dans l'espace compris entre les deux parois.The operator leans over the vertical wall of the frame to access the functional parts and arrangements. In some long-length folder-gluers, the operator has to go around them, in order to access the rear parts, which forces him to make a movement of at least 20 meters. In some folder-gluers provided for cuts of large width for example 3'000 mm, the operator must span one of the front or rear walls to slip into and enter the space between the two walls.

Toutes ces opérations de maintenance s'avèrent peu pratiques, augmentent le temps de réglage et d'immobilisation de la plieuse-colleuse, sont sources d'erreur, et accroissent ainsi la fatigue de l'opérateur. Pendant ces périodes d'arrêt, la plieuse-colleuse n'est plus en production.All these maintenance operations are impractical, increase the setting time and immobilization of the folder-gluer, are sources of error, and thus increase the fatigue of the operator. During these shutdown periods, the folder-gluer is no longer in production.

Exposé de l'inventionPresentation of the invention

Un objectif principal de la présente invention consiste à mettre au point un module pour une plieuse-colleuse comprenant un bâti. Un deuxième objectif est de réaliser un bâti permettant une accessibilité facilitée pour un opérateur. Un troisième objectif est de rendre les opérations de maintenance de modules d'une plieuse-colleuse plus ergonomiques. Un quatrième objectif est de résoudre les problèmes techniques mentionnés pour le document de l'état de la technique. Un autre objectif encore est celui de réaliser une plieuse-colleuse avec un module, et plus particulièrement un module de gaufrage de caractères braille.A main object of the present invention is to develop a module for a folder-gluer comprising a frame. A second objective is to provide a frame allowing easy accessibility for an operator. A third objective is to make module maintenance operations of a folder-gluer more ergonomic. A fourth objective is to solve the technical problems mentioned for the document of the state of the art. Yet another object is to make a folder-gluer with a module, and more particularly a braille-type embossing module.

Un module pour plieuse-colleuse comprenant un bâti possédant deux parois sensiblement verticales, avant et arrière, et au moins un agencement fonctionnel maintenu par le bâti.A folder-gluer module comprising a frame having two substantially vertical walls, front and rear, and at least one functional arrangement held by the frame.

Conformément à un aspect de la présente invention, le module est caractérisé en ce que le bâti comprend en outre au moins un élément transversal, connectant mécaniquement et maintenant un parallélisme entre les deux parois, et conformé avec au moins une portion sensiblement horizontale formant un tablier, de façon à permettre à un opérateur de monter sur le bâti et d'accéder à l'agencement fonctionnel.According to one aspect of the present invention, the module is characterized in that the frame further comprises at least one transverse element, mechanically connecting and maintaining a parallelism between the two walls, and shaped with at least a substantially horizontal portion forming an apron , so as to allow an operator to mount on the frame and access the functional arrangement.

Autrement dit, le ou les éléments transversaux jouent ainsi deux rôles principaux. Le premier rôle est de former l'entier du bâti avec la paroi avant et la paroi arrière, en les réunissant. Les contraintes mécaniques sont supportées par les parois et le ou les éléments transversaux.In other words, the transverse element or elements thus play two main roles. The first role is to form the entire frame with the front wall and the rear wall, bringing them together. The mechanical stresses are supported by the walls and the transverse element or elements.

Le deuxième rôle est de permettre un accès facilité à ou aux agencements fonctionnels. La portion formant un tablier présente des capacités de résistance mécanique de façon à être apte à supporter le poids de l'opérateur. Le bâti est conçu pour constituer lui-même un podium ou une partie de podium ou analogue. La portion formant un tablier est analogue à une passerelle ou à une plate-forme.

Exposé détaillé de modes de réalisation préférésDetailed description of preferred embodiments

Comme l'illustre la Figure 1, une plieuse-colleuse 1 est dotée d'une structure modulaire. Les positions amont et aval sont définies par rapport à la direction longitudinale et au sens de défilement des découpes (Flèche F en Figures 1 et 2) de l'entrée de la plieuse-colleuse 1 jusqu'à la sortie de la plieuse-colleuse 1.As illustrated by Figure 1 a folder-gluer 1 has a modular structure. The upstream and downstream positions are defined with respect to the longitudinal direction and the direction of travel of the cuts (arrow F in Figures 1 and 2 ) from the entrance of folder-gluer 1 to the exit of folder-gluer 1.

La plieuse-colleuse 1 est équipée successivement de l'amont vers l'aval avec un margeur 2, un module d'alignement 3, un dispositif de contrôle qualité en ligne 4, un module de gaufrage de caractères braille 6, un module de précassage 7, une station d'encollage 8, un module de pliage 9, un module de transfert 11 et un module de réception 12.The folder-gluer 1 is successively equipped from upstream to downstream with a feeder 2, an alignment module 3, an in-line quality control device 4, a braille type embossing module 6, a precleaning module 7, a sizing station 8, a folding module 9, a transfer module 11 and a receiving module 12.

Le module de gaufrage 6 comprend un bâti 13. Le bâti 13 possède une paroi avant sensiblement verticale 14. Le bâti 13 possède une paroi arrière sensiblement verticale 16. Selon l'invention et comme le montrent les Figure 2 à 4, le bâti 13 comprend au moins un élément, dans ce cas deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18. Un premier élément transversal 17 est monté du côté amont du module 6. Un deuxième élément transversal 18 est monté du côté aval du module 6.The embossing module 6 comprises a frame 13. The frame 13 has a substantially vertical front wall 14. The frame 13 has a substantially vertical rear wall 16. According to the invention and as shown by the Figure 2 to 4 , the frame 13 comprises at least one element, in this case two transverse elements 17 and 18. A first transverse element 17 is mounted on the upstream side of the module 6. A second transverse element 18 is mounted on the downstream side of the module 6.

Les deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18 connectent mécaniquement les deux parois 14 et 16 entre-elles. Les deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18 maintiennent les deux parois 14 et 16 parallèles entre-elles. Au moins un des deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18, et dans ce cas les deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18, sont conformés avec au moins une portion sensiblement horizontale formant un tablier 19. Le tablier 19 est une portion de l'élément transversal 17 et 18 sensiblement parallèle au plan défini par le défilement F des découpes. Le tablier 19 vient à fleur de l'un des rebords supérieurs de l'une ou des deux parois 14 et 16.The two transverse elements 17 and 18 mechanically connect the two walls 14 and 16 to each other. The two transverse elements 17 and 18 maintain the two walls 14 and 16 parallel to each other. At least one of the two transverse elements 17 and 18, and in this case the two transverse elements 17 and 18, are shaped with at least one substantially horizontal portion forming an apron 19. The apron 19 is a portion of the transverse element 17 and 18 substantially parallel to the plane defined by the scroll F cutouts. The apron 19 comes flush with one of the upper edges of one or both walls 14 and 16.

Les éléments transversaux 17 et 18 sont préférentiellement prévus en étant écartés l'un de l'autre en laissant une fente 21. La fente 21 s'étend transversalement et se trouve centrée par rapport aux parois 14 et 16 et par rapport au bâti 13. La fente 21 est délimitée par l'extrémité intérieure du tablier 19 de chacun des deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18. La fente 21 ouvre vers le haut le volume situé sous le tablier 19 de chacun des deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18. Une fente peut également être ménagée dans le tablier d'un seul et unique élément transversal.The transverse elements 17 and 18 are preferably provided by being spaced from each other leaving a slot 21. The slot 21 extends transversely and is centered with respect to the walls 14 and 16 and relative to the frame 13. The slot 21 is delimited by the inner end of the apron 19 of each of the two transverse elements 17 and 18. The slot 21 opens upward the volume located under the apron 19 of each of the two transverse elements 17 and 18. A slot can also be provided in the deck of a single transverse element.

L'élément transversal 17 et 18 est avantageusement sous la forme d'une plaque pliée (voir Figure 3), intégrant le tablier 19. La réalisation de l'élément transversal 17 et 18 avec une structure mécano-soudée est également possible. De manière favorable, l'élément transversal 17 et 18 présente un profil sensiblement en forme de L inversé. Une première portion du L inversé forme le tablier 19. Une deuxième portion 22 du L inversé est sensiblement perpendiculaire au tablier 19. La deuxième portion 22 est orientée à la verticale et dirigée vers le sol.The transverse element 17 and 18 is advantageously in the form of a folded plate (see Figure 3 ), incorporating the deck 19. The embodiment of the transverse element 17 and 18 with a welded structure is also possible. Favorably, the transverse element 17 and 18 has a substantially inverted L-shaped profile. A first portion of the inverted L forms the apron 19. A second portion 22 of the inverted L is substantially perpendicular to the deck 19. The second portion 22 is oriented vertically and directed towards the ground.

La deuxième portion 22 du L vient former une plaque transversale fermant le bâti 13, côté amont pour le premier élément transversal amont 17. Le tablier 19 s'étend vers l'aval à partir de la deuxième portion 22 du premier élément transversal amont 17. La deuxième portion 22 du L vient former une plaque transversale fermant le bâti 13 côté aval pour le deuxième élément transversal aval 18. Le tablier 19 s'étend vers l'amont à partir de la deuxième portion 22 du deuxième élément transversal aval 18.The second portion 22 of the L just forms a transverse plate closing the frame 13, upstream side for the first upstream transverse element 17. The deck 19 extends downstream from the second portion 22 of the first upstream transverse element 17. The second portion 22 of the L just forms a transverse plate closing the frame 13 downstream side for the second downstream transverse element 18. The deck 19 extends upstream from the second portion 22 of the second downstream transverse element 18.

Pour une rigidité supplémentaire, un repliement formant une première aile 23 est prévu (voir Figure 3) au niveau de et prolonge l'extrémité intérieure du tablier 19 de chacun des deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18. La première aile 23 se déploie perpendiculairement au tablier 19. La première aile 23 est orientée à la verticale et dirigée vers le sol. Cette première aile 23 de chacun des deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18 délimite l'entrée de la fente 21. La première aile 23 du premier élément transversal amont 17 prolonge le tablier 19 côté aval et fait face à la première aile 23 du deuxième élément transversal aval 18 qui prolonge le tablier 19 côté amont.For additional rigidity, a folding forming a first wing 23 is provided (see Figure 3 ) at and extends the inner end of the deck 19 of each of the two transverse elements 17 and 18. The first flange 23 is deployed perpendicularly to the deck 19. The first flange 23 is oriented vertically and directed towards the ground. This first wing 23 of each of the two transverse elements 17 and 18 defines the entrance of the slot 21. The first wing 23 of the first upstream transverse element 17 extends the apron 19 downstream side and faces the first wing 23 the second downstream transverse element 18 which extends the apron 19 upstream side.

Pour une rigidité supplémentaire, un repliement formant une deuxième aile 24 est prévu (voir Figure 3) au niveau de l'extrémité inférieure de la deuxième portion 22 de chacun des deux éléments transversaux 17 et 18. La deuxième aile 24 se déploie perpendiculairement à la deuxième portion 22 et parallèlement au tablier 19. Cette deuxième aile 24 est parallèle au sol. La deuxième aile 24 s'étend vers l'aval à partir de la deuxième portion 22 du premier élément transversal amont 17. La deuxième aile 24 s'étend vers l'amont à partir de la deuxième portion 22 du deuxième élément transversal aval 18.For additional rigidity, a folding forming a second wing 24 is provided (see Figure 3 ) at the lower end of the second portion 22 of each of the two transverse elements 17 and 18. The second flange 24 extends perpendicularly to the second portion 22 and parallel to the deck 19. This second flange 24 is parallel to the ground. The second wing 24 extends downstream from the second portion 22 of the first upstream transverse element 17. The second wing 24 extends upstream from the second portion 22 of the second downstream transverse element 18.

Le bâti 13, et ainsi le module 6, comprend au moins un piétement 26 fixé à l'élément transversal 17 et 18 au niveau de la deuxième portion 22. Le piétement 26 est fixé à la deuxième aile 24 et assure la pose au sol et l'horizontalité de l'élément transversal 17 et 18 et donc du bâti 13.The frame 13, and thus the module 6, comprises at least one base 26 fixed to the transverse element 17 and 18 at the second portion 22. The base 26 is fixed to the second flange 24 and ensures the laying on the ground and horizontality of the transverse element 17 and 18 and thus of the frame 13.

Pour une rigidité supplémentaire, un repliement formant une troisième aile 27 est prévu (voir Figure 3) au niveau de l'extrémité intérieure de la deuxième aile 24 de l'élément transversal 17 et 18. La troisième aile 27 se déploie perpendiculairement à la deuxième aile 24 et parallèlement à la deuxième portion 22. La troisième aile 27 est orientée à la verticale et dirigée vers le haut.For additional rigidity, a folding forming a third wing 27 is provided (see Figure 3 ) at the inner end of the second flange 24 of the transverse member 17 and 18. The third flange 27 is deployed perpendicular to the second flange 24 and parallel to the second portion 22. The third flange 27 is oriented at the vertical and upward.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation principal se rapportant au module de gaufrage 6, un premier agencement fonctionnel est un dispositif de gaufrage de caractères braille 28. Le module de gaufrage 6 peut comporter deux dispositifs de gaufrage 28, disposés du côté de la paroi avant 14 et du côté de la paroi arrière 16 du bâti 13.In the main exemplary embodiment relating to the embossing module 6, a first functional arrangement is a Braille character embossing device 28. The embossing module 6 may comprise two embossing devices 28, arranged on the side of the front wall 14 and on the side of the rear wall 16 of the frame 13.

Le dispositif de gaufrage 28 comprend notamment un outil de gaufrage rotatif supérieur mâle 29 et un outil de gaufrage rotatif inférieur femelle 31, les deux outils 29 et 31 étant montés en rotation (voir le document EP-1'932'657 ). L'outil mâle 29 est constitué par un cylindre dont la surface périphérique est une plaque métallique munie de picots et enroulée sur l'outil cylindrique. L'outil femelle 31 est constitué par un cylindre dont la surface périphérique est munie de creux. Les découpes défilent entre les deux outils 29 et 31.The embossing device 28 comprises in particular a male upper rotary embossing tool 29 and a lower female rotary embossing tool 31, the two tools 29 and 31 being mounted in rotation (see the document EP-1'932'657 ). The male tool 29 is constituted by a cylinder whose peripheral surface is a metal plate provided with pins and wound on the cylindrical tool. The female tool 31 is constituted by a cylinder whose peripheral surface is provided with recesses. The cuts pass between the two tools 29 and 31.

Ce premier agencement fonctionnel, i.e. le dispositif de gaufrage 28, est maintenu par le bâti 13. Lorsque le dispositif de gaufrage 28 est situé du côté de la paroi avant 14, les outils 29 et 31 sont orientés en porte-à-faux vers l'arrière. Lorsque le dispositif de gaufrage 28 est situé du côté de la paroi arrière 16, les outils 29 et 31 sont orientés en porte-à-faux vers l'avant.This first functional arrangement, ie the embossing device 28, is held by the frame 13. When the embossing device 28 is located on the side of the front wall 14, the tools 29 and 31 are cantilevered towards the door. 'back. When the embossing device 28 is located on the side of the rear wall 16, the tools 29 and 31 are cantilevered forward.

Le tablier 19 est conformé et est résistant, de façon à permettre à un opérateur 30 (seules ses chaussures sont représentées en Figure 2) de monter sur ce tablier 19, et ainsi sur le bâti 13, et d'accéder facilement au dispositif de gaufrage de caractères braille 21. Par exemple, l'opérateur 30 va aisément monter sur le tablier 19 du bâti 13 pour installer les outils 29 et 31, les positionner angulairement et transversalement, et ensuite les fixer sur leur arbre de rotation respectif, et pour d'autres opérations encore.The apron 19 is shaped and is resistant, so as to allow an operator 30 (only his shoes are represented by Figure 2 ) to climb on this apron 19, and thus on the frame 13, and easy access to the braille character embossing device 21. For example, the operator 30 will easily mount on the deck 19 of the frame 13 to install the tools 29 and 31, position them angularly and transversely, and then fix them on their respective rotation shaft, and for other operations still.

L'agencement fonctionnel, i.e. le dispositif de gaufrage 28, est maintenu grâce aux deux éléments 17 et 18 du bâti 13. Pour ce faire, le module 6 peut comprendre au moins un rail 32 monté au niveau du bâti 13, en particulier sur l'élément transversal 17 et 18, et plus particulièrement sur la face supérieure du tablier 19 (voir Figures 2 et 3). Deux rails 32 parallèles entre eux sont prévus dans le mode de réalisation préférentiel. L'élément transversal amont 17 comprend un rail amont 32. L'élément transversal aval 18 comprend un rail aval 32. Ils sont parallèles à la fente 21 en étant positionnés de part et d'autre de cette dernière. Les deux rails 32 s'étendent transversalement à plat et se trouvent centrés par rapport aux parois 14 et 16 et par rapport au bâti 13.The functional arrangement, ie the embossing device 28, is maintained thanks to the two elements 17 and 18 of the frame 13. To do this, the module 6 may comprise at least one rail 32 mounted at the frame 13, in particular on the transverse element 17 and 18, and more particularly on the upper face of the apron 19 (see Figures 2 and 3 ). Two rails 32 parallel to each other are provided in the preferred embodiment. The upstream transverse element 17 comprises an upstream rail 32. The downstream transverse element 18 comprises a downstream rail 32. They are parallel to the slot 21 while being positioned on either side of the latter. The two rails 32 extend transversely flat and are centered with respect to the walls 14 and 16 and relative to the frame 13.

Le dispositif de gaufrage 28 comprend une pièce inférieure ayant un profil complémentaire au profil des rails 32. De ce fait, le dispositif de gaufrage 28 est apte à coulisser sur les deux rails 32. Ce coulissement permet un réglage de la position transversale du dispositif de gaufrage 28 par rapport au défilement des découpes. Avec ce réglage transversal et avec le dispositif de gaufrage 28 du côté de la paroi avant 14 et/ou le dispositif de gaufrage 28 du côté de la paroi arrière 16, le gaufrage de caractères braille est possible sur la totalité de la surface des découpes défilant dans la plieuse-colleuse 1.The embossing device 28 comprises a lower part having a profile complementary to the profile of the rails 32. As a result, the embossing device 28 is able to slide on the two rails 32. This sliding makes it possible to adjust the transverse position of the device of FIG. embossing 28 with respect to the scrolling of the cuts. With this transverse adjustment and with the embossing device 28 on the side of the front wall 14 and / or the embossing device 28 on the side of the rear wall 16, braille character embossing is possible on the entire surface of the scrolling cutouts. in the folder-gluer 1.

De manière favorable, l'agencement fonctionnel, i.e. le dispositif de gaufrage 28, comprend un support inférieur (non représenté) passant par la fente 21. Le support inférieur est mécaniquement connecté à des moyens de maintien et à des moyens de translation transversale pour le dispositif de gaufrage 28, de type arbre et moteur d'entraînement, situés sous le tablier 19 de chacun des éléments transversaux 17 et 18.Favorably, the functional arrangement, ie the embossing device 28, comprises a lower support (not shown) passing through the slot 21. The lower support is mechanically connected to holding means and transverse translation means for the embossing device 28, of shaft type and drive motor, located under the apron 19 of each of the transverse elements 17 and 18.

Dans l'exemple de réalisation principal se rapportant au module de gaufrage 6, un deuxième agencement fonctionnel est un transporteur 33 (voir Figure 4). Les découpes sont maintenues pendant le gaufrage de caractères braille. Le module 6 comprend deux transporteurs 33, disposés du côté de la paroi avant 14 et du côté de la paroi arrière 16 du bâti 13.In the main embodiment relating to the embossing module 6, a second functional arrangement is a conveyor 33 (see FIG. Figure 4 ). The cuts are maintained during braille embossing. The module 6 comprises two conveyors 33, arranged on the side of the front wall 14 and the side of the rear wall 16 of the frame 13.

Le transporteur 33 est porté par un châssis 34, analogue à une plaque verticale, disposé entre les parois avant 14 et arrière 16 du bâti 13. Le châssis 34 et donc le transporteur 33 est mobile transversalement de manière à pouvoir être rapproché ou éloigné des parois avant 14 et/ou arrière 16.The conveyor 33 is carried by a frame 34, similar to a vertical plate, disposed between the front walls 14 and rear 16 of the frame 13. The frame 34 and therefore the conveyor 33 is movable transversely so as to be brought closer to or away from the walls front 14 and / or rear 16.

Le transporteur 33 comporte une bande transporteuse sans fin inférieure 36 et une bande transporteuse sans fin supérieure 37. La bande transporteuse supérieure 37 est guidée par des galets supérieurs et entraînée par friction par la bande transporteuse inférieure 36. Les bandes transporteuses 36 et 37 sont pressées l'une contre l'autre. Les découpes sont maintenues et entraînées en défilement F entre la bande transporteuse inférieure 36 et la bande transporteuse supérieure 37.The conveyor 33 comprises a lower endless conveyor belt 36 and an upper endless conveyor belt 37. The upper conveyor belt 37 is guided by upper rollers and frictionally driven by the lower conveyor belt 36. The conveyor belts 36 and 37 are pressed. one against the other. The blanks are held and driven in a scroll F between the lower conveyor belt 36 and the upper conveyor belt 37.

L'agencement fonctionnel, i.e. le transporteur 33, comprend un support inférieur 38 (traits tillés en Figure 4) passant par la fente 21. Le support inférieur 38 est mécaniquement connecté à des moyens de maintien et à des moyens de translation transversale pour le transporteur 33, de type arbre et moteur d'entraînement, situés sous le tablier 19 de chacun des éléments transversaux 17 et 18.The functional arrangement, ie the conveyor 33, comprises a lower support 38 (lines tapered in Figure 4 ) The lower support 38 is mechanically connected to holding means and to transverse translation means for the conveyor 33, of the shaft and drive motor type, located under the deck 19 of each of the transverse elements. 17 and 18.

Le tablier 19 est conformé de façon à permettre à un opérateur 30 de monter sur le bâti 13 et d'accéder au transporteur 33. Par exemple, l'opérateur 30 va aisément monter sur le tablier 19 du bâti 13 pour changer des galets, les bandes 36 et 37, et pour d'autres opérations encore.The apron 19 is shaped to allow an operator 30 to mount on the frame 13 and to access the conveyor 33. For example, the operator 30 will easily mount on the deck 19 of the frame 13 to change rollers, strips 36 and 37, and for other operations still.

A titre d'exemple pour le module 6, le tablier 19 est situé à une hauteur sensiblement comprise entre 350 mm et 500 mm, par exemple sensiblement égale à 450 mm. Les moyens de maintien et les moyens de translation transversale pour le dispositif de gaufrage 28, et les moyens de maintien et les moyens de translation transversale pour le transporteur 33 sont situés sous le tablier 19.As an example for the module 6, the deck 19 is located at a height substantially between 350 mm and 500 mm, for example substantially equal to 450 mm. The holding means and the transverse translation means for the embossing device 28, and the holding means and the transverse translation means for the conveyor 33 are located under the apron 19.

Pour facilité l'accès au tablier 19, le module 6, et ainsi le bâti 13, comprend avantageusement un marchepied 39 monté au niveau de la paroi avant 14. Le marchepied 39 est en porte-à-faux vers l'avant.For ease of access to the apron 19, the module 6, and thus the frame 13, advantageously comprises a step 39 mounted at the front wall 14. The step 39 is cantilevered forward.
