For the manufacture of the method and apparatus of brush
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and apparatus for the manufacture of brush.
Background technology
The known different method for the manufacture of brush.Conventional brush body is provided with the setting of hole (" casement "), and it is corresponding to the setting of the expectation of bristle.The bundle of bristle or bundle to be so inserted in the hole of brush body and wherein by means of the little anchor metal of press-in or by means of staple by anchoring.
In the method for the alternative for the manufacture of brush, described method is being only implemented in several years and described method is called as AFT method (planting hair without anchor), do not apply staple or bristle tuft is fixed in little head plate by anchor, and loading plate to be inserted in brush body or handle or fixed thereon subsequently.In a modification of AFT method, manufacture the brush holder with casement, described casement is corresponding to the pieces mould expected.So bristle tuft to be inserted in this some holes and to be fixed on brush handle.The anchor portion of pieces covers with little plate subsequently.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to a kind of method and apparatus for the manufacture of brush assembled in described AFT method.
The invention provides a kind of method and a kind of device, it simply and particularly quickly work and be non-maintaining.
Method according to the present invention is especially for manufacturing toothbrush and being provided with following steps:
Sequentially take out bristle tuft from bristle storage, wherein said bristle is settled by parallel packing;
The bristle tuft of described taking-up is sent to the substrate of a part for the brush that a formation completes by means of a conveyer, it has the hole for holding each bristle tuft;
Sequentially described bristle tuft is pushed into the hole of attaching troops to a unit from the dorsal part of described substrate, wherein between described conveyer and the dorsal part of described substrate, be provided with one and there is the guided plate turning to passage, by the described passage that turns to, described bristle tuft is pushed in the described hole of described substrate, and
Without anchor pole ground, bristle tuft is fixed on described substrate.
In the method according to the invention successively that is sequentially from a bristle storage particularly a Storage Box take out bristle tuft and send it to substrate.This substrate can or portion's section of a kind of plate of being connected with brush body or brush body self.The positive side of substrate is such side, the bristle of brush subsequently with it away from, in contrast dorsal part is the side usually closed, that is does not have the side of bristle.Guided plate is arranged between conveyer and the dorsal part of substrate, and described guided plate has and turns to passage, by the described described hole turning to passage described bristle tuft to be pushed in described substrate.Tiltedly directed pieces can be realized thus or be integrally a common large pieces by multiple pieces in substrate, thus such as produce bristle tuft extending longitudinally.Also different pieces geometries can be realized, if such as turn to the entrance of passage to be circular, so outlet can have have an angle or in general non-circular geometry, although thus pieces always takes out from Storage Box with identical cross section geometry, realize different cross section geometries in substrate.What turn to passage therefore as described in " turning to " with concept to make each bristle or whole pieces perpendicular to straight line pushes direction skew.
Be possible in this multiple modification, they also can at random combine mutually:
Described move towards with turning to passage and described hole deviation and described pieces is tiltedly on the spot anchored in described substrate and/or
Be provided with multiple overlapped passage towards the common hole of in substrate trend (wherein this also such as one is had tiltedly move towards turn to passage to be attached in substrate a common hole along the passage pushing direction trend), thus multiple pieces to be pushed in the different passages be arranged side by side and in one that is pushed in substrate through described passage common hole so as to be formed a common pieces and/or
Be provided with at least one and turn to passage, it holds multiple pieces, to make them be integrally a common pieces, wherein this turns to passage preferably to have multiple entrance side by side, be integrally one by each passage described in described entrance and common turned to passage, and/or
At least one turns to passage to have an entrance, turns to the geometry of the outlet of passage described in its geometry is different from.
Describedly the outlet of passage is turned to usually to have the geometry identical with the hole of the vicinity in substrate and size.
Embodiment proposes, and the dorsal part that described guided plate is placed to substrate left described substrate fix described pieces on substrate before.
Because bristle tuft sequentially that is is in turn directly clogged in substrate separately, so do not need high the mating of instrument and other substrates in device side yet.
In addition mostly cooperate with the support of a tool side in the prior art, the hole of described support is exactly corresponding to the hole in substrate.First fill this support with bristle tuft and subsequently this support be sent to substrate to be filled.The manufacture of multiple support worked in one apparatus is relatively expensive.In addition device is expensive for the remodeling of other brush.
This remodeling can be designed very simply in the method according to the invention and in a device in accordance with the invention.
In the method according to the invention, the position of substrate and the static tools for alignment pushed be used for for each hole to be filled are also moved then.For this reason one may be, described substrate is at least moved along both direction for pushing of described order, to be aimed at bristle tuft described to be pushed in described hole to be filled.
The method can be matched with brand-new pieces mould easily as directly produced.
If use the positioner of a programmable at least diaxon of freedom, particularly freely the industrial robot of programmable preferred diaxon move described substrate, particularly this method can be matched with new mould very fast.
Especially advantageously, sequentially described bristle tuft is transported until described final position by a pieces receiver, be pushed into described hole to be filled from bristle tuft described in described final position.Separately but also for transmission therefore need an only movement not only for bristle tuft, it can be such as that the circular arc of pieces receiver moves or moves linearly.
Pieces receiver also must reciprocally not move forcibly between accommodated position and outgoing position.Also can consider, be provided with the pieces receiver of an annular or circle, it for good and all rotates along a direction.
The bristle of application is made up of plastics.
The advantage that the filling of the dorsal part of bristle tuft has is, pieces is so given prominence to, as desired, independent of the length tolerance of each bristle from substrate in positive side due to the usual stopper section in positive side.In addition the bristle with bristle tips, the such as conglobate sharp-pointed bristle tips of preprocessing is selectively also used.
According to preferred embodiment, in described conveyer, during described pieces is pushed described substrate, only apply axial compressive force to described bristle tuft.That is bristle tuft is not by radial clamping.When clamping, that is pieces end is expanded in gap, and this makes to import in hole and becomes difficult.Such radial clamping force particularly occurs in so-called tension frame.
Because described substrate usually has little thickness and the length in hole (keeping pieces by described hole) is equally correspondingly little, so be provided with a favourable method step, namely there is in the prelocalization one pushing described bristle tuft on the positive side of described substrate in device side the guiding piece of through hole.Described bristle tuft via described hole by the through hole that is so inserted in described guiding piece.Preferably, right instead of compulsory situation is, described pieces is also given prominence to from described guiding piece in positive side.
The guiding piece of described positive side can be configured to the clamping device for described pieces, and such as its method is that described through hole has so large cross section compared to the described pieces be pushed into wherein, and described pieces is located in described through hole with press-fit.If the guided plate of dorsal part is separated with substrate backward, so the clamping of pieces stops extracting of pieces.
The anterior end of described pieces can contact the casting die that has shape exterior feature, to complete the brush finish that has type exterior feature between the erecting stage of described substrate or afterwards.Described brush finish is the machined surface of the positive side of brush, and it is formed by bristle ends.This casting die can or exist when clogging and extruded by relative to bristle as stopper section or after filling, and described bristle to abut on casting die and moulds the shape of casting die thus.
According to preferred embodiment, after pushing described bristle tuft, described bristle tuft of giving prominence to from the hole of described substrate at dorsal part is cut off.The tolerance of each bristle lengths is it often fully compensated thus, because can realize length coupling accurately by this casting die on positive side, is then cut off simply on dorsal part.
Described cutting away can by the instrument realization of cutting or still by the instrument particularly so-called hot cutter realization of heating.It achieves the contact between the instrument and each pieces of heat, and wherein the service life of cutting element is very high.
Described bristle tuft is fixed at dorsal part, such as, by hot melt and/or bonding and/or be placed in the plastic material of spray.Naturally also these fixing means at random can be combined mutually.
As mentioned above, the bristle be tucked in substrate preferably shifts to an earlier date by pre-rounding or preprocessing.
According to an embodiment, cut away period only radially by substrate and (if present) keep described bristle by guiding piece.Two ends are provided with the fixture of little side, and described end only reclines on such devices and is therefore axially fixed on side.
Being capped with the dorsal part of substrate of described bristle tuft.This such as can realize thus, makes brush body have a recess in the region of the pieces end of dorsal part, and its cover piece that is prefabricated by one or spray is closed.The another kind of the covering of bristle tuft on dorsal part may be, design the prefabricated cover piece that has molded jut, so-called sacrificial structure (Opferstrukturen) on its side towards described substrate, described jut hankers deliquescing in adding subsequently, particularly become fluid, so that subsequently relative to substrate or be more generally extruded relative to brush body.If substrate and brush body are two different parts, so natural brush body also can be provided with such sacrificial structure, so as its heating after be perhaps also connected by the substrate heated.This cover piece can be provided with arbitrary form away from clean jut, to be used as tongue formula cleaner.
To this as an alternative by substrate extruding encapsulating.If substrate does not have simultaneously on brush body but parts to be fixed on the remainder of brush body, so can when manufacturing brush body by substrate extruding encapsulating.The extruding encapsulating of substrate is still not limited to this modification.
A particularly advantageous embodiment of the present invention proposes, described bristle tuft is fixed without anchor pole at dorsal part, particularly by fusing and/or bonding, and the substrate of described assembling to be encased in the chamber of the half mould of an injection moulding tool by a bristle station subsequently and on this to abut in based on the hole in described chamber of attaching troops to a unit edge with its edge and described bristle tuft protrude in described hole.At dorsal part by the spray of brush portion section on described substrate, described brush portion section covers described bristle tuft.By present invention dramatically reduces for the manufacture of the cost required for loading plate, because described loading plate no longer moves to injection moulding tool from feather planting machine, injection moulding tool and the synchronous of feather planting machine no longer must intercouple forcibly thus.The bristle ends of bristle tuft fuses first mutually in the prior art, and this realizes usually in the orifice plate costly to be manufactured with bristle tuft.This orifice plate is sent in injection moulding tool subsequently, so that by pieces extruding encapsulating.Substrate with bristle is always sent in injection moulding tool together with loading plate in the prior art or is sent in another station of injection moulding tool.This loading plate is used for when the injection moulding of brush body (head and handle) relative to the support of expulsion pressure.But the present invention proposes, and is no longer provided with the loading plate being provided with the pore-forming of brush as the gripper shoe in injection moulding tool when the manufacture of brush body.In the half mould of injection moulding tool, in the region in the chamber released, be in contrast provided with in the method according to the invention and in a device in accordance with the invention a hole (preferably unique hole), described multiple bristle tuft protrudes in described hole.Described substrate only or almost only with its around edge to abut in from the edge in hole out, described chamber and to be preferably only supported on this edge.
This substrate is maintained in chamber on edge side.
According to preferred embodiment described substrate with its border seal around ground abut in hole same close around edge on, thus realize sealing function.
By method according to the present invention (its aperture plate no longer circulates between feather planting machine and injection moulding tool), whole manufacture and whole device are just enough by significantly less orifice plate.
Now also possible that, the substrate with bristle is stored in apparatus for temporary storage or buffer storage.Therefore no longer cause the stopping of another machine corresponding during maintenance work on injection moulding tool or feather planting machine, this significantly improves flexibility generally speaking.
Preferably in the half mould of device according to the present invention, there is multiple chamber, to improve the release rate of whole device.
The half mould with at least one chamber also can be formed on (and this is preferably) multi-piece type ground.The first and second moulded parts can be used, if necessary also have the other moulded parts with particularly multiple chamber of being arranged side by side or serial chamber.This chamber being attached to brush is so divided into multiple sections, such as, portion's section in the first moulded parts and portion's section in the second moulded parts.The mutual transition in these chambeies and form the whole chamber of half mould.This first moulded parts but be separable with the second moulded parts and be perhaps used as the one or more means of transportation or the release instrument that are located at substrate wherein.First first moulded parts is equipped with the substrate with bristle independent of the second moulded parts and is only coupled to the second moulded parts subsequently thus, that is directly before injection moulding.But because can manufacture very simply owing to lacking hole pattern first moulded parts, so can relatively inexpensively manufacture and apply many first moulded parts, this significantly improves cycle time and the flexibility of whole device.
But also impossible, each half mould single type is formed.So brush body to be presented in half mould and from wherein taking out after spray.
Must emphasize, according to preferred embodiment may spray so-called brush body in injection moulding tool, it can single component or many components ground be formed.A part for this brush body normally brush handle, brush neck and brush.Other parts of brush are formed by substrate.
But also have an embodiment to be favourable, particularly in the brush of cheapness, wherein said substrate self has almost had the handle of whole head and whole handle or brush substantially.This substrate so naturally also forms brush portion section and at least also or in inactive region is extruded encapsulating in the head zone of dorsal part subsequently by addition bristle.
Several in hole in substrate can be kept without pieces and are closed by spray.Different bristle tuft can be realized thus arrange in identical substrate.Alternative or be additional to without pieces opening close by (it the has random cross-sectional shape) spray of resilient profile piece or can be fixed in hole.These profile piece are not bristle but have the profile piece of the other pattern being less than or greater than common bristle.These parts such as also can have the shape of cross section being different from circle.Particularly such profile piece is used, to cause the effect of gum massage.
Above-mentioned another close without pieces hole may be the spray of plastics at dorsal part.Can or only close without the hole of pieces at this, or can positive side while together spray away from profile piece.The guiding piece of this positive side can be used as injection model at this.
Bristle tuft is lateral to bristle longitudinal direction and is separated from described bristle storage and is particularly individually moved towards described hole by conveyer.Known transmission tubule is not used in the prior art for conveyer yet, these transmit tubules submerge depository along bristle longitudinal direction in and held by itself and clamp the pieces of bristle.High cycle time can being realized on the one hand by the taking-up of side and on the other hand pieces significantly less or not may be pressed together, which improving the location when being moved in hole.
Also combine brush especially according to method of the present invention to be used, wherein except at least one soft flexible element be preferably made up of TPE of bristle tuft and brush away from and by spray on described brush.On the edge that this soft flexible element can be positioned at brush and away from also or be located in area of bristles, that is by bristle tuft around.This soft flexible element such as has such function, namely realizes gingival massage when brushing teeth.
Be transitioned into from handle to the soft portion's section of on the connecting portion of head and/or be even transitioned into handle this soft flexible element such as single type, thus in this section, realize the elasticity of flexure or fixing feel of sliding.
The present invention also provides a kind of device, particularly so-called brush-making machine for the manufacture of brush in addition, and it preferably utilizes above-mentioned according to method of the present invention.Described device comprises the Storage Box that has bristle storage place, and wherein bristle is settled by parallel packing; A withdrawing device for bristle tuft, bristle tuft is lateral to its longitudinal extension part and sequentially takes out from described bristle storage by described withdrawing device; One for each bristle tuft being sent to the conveyer at filling station, wherein said filling station has the keeper of substrate to be used for brushing; One has the guided plate turning to passage, by the described hole turning to bristle tuft described in passage to be pushed in substrate between described conveyer and the dorsal part of substrate be transferred; And described bristle tuft is sequentially pushed into mechanism in substrate by dorsal part through described guided plate.
Turn to the aforesaid modification of the formation of passage naturally also can realize in a device in accordance with the invention, and ground realization individually or can be combined.
