Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Modul mit Tuftingwerkzeugen, insbesondere Nadeln, bei dem die Tuftingwerkzeuge in einen Grundkörper eingegossen sind, dessen Länge einem Vielfachen des Mittenabstandes der eingegossenen Tuftingwerkzeuge entspricht, der auf seiner an eine Barre anschließbaren Rückseite mit einer Anlageleiste und Ausnehmungen sowie auf seiner Vorderseite mit einer Aufnahmeschulter und Vorsprüngen versehen ist und der ein in Längsrichtung des Moduls verlaufendes, von der Rückseite zur Vorderseite durchgehendes Langloch hat.The invention relates to a module with tufting tools, in particular needles, in which the tufting tools are cast into a base body, the length of which corresponds to a multiple of the center distance of the cast-in tufting tools, which on its rear side, which can be connected to a bar, with a contact strip and recesses and on its front side is provided with a receiving shoulder and projections and has an elongated hole running in the longitudinal direction of the module and going from the back to the front.

Ein derartiges Modul für eine Tuftingmaschine ist aus DE-PS 2 828 278 bekannt. Dabei sind die Module an eine Nadelbarre anschraubbar. Jeder Grundkörper hat auf seiner der Nadelbarre zugewandten Rückseite zwei konische, in Längsrichtung des Moduls auf Abstand angeordnete Ausnehmungen. Entsprechend sind auf der Vorderseite des Grundkörpers zwei ebenfalls auf Abstand stehende Vorsprünge vorgesehen. Die Ausnehmungen und die Vorsprünge sind so dimensioniert, daß die Vorsprünge des einen Moduls in die Ausnehmungen eines anderen eingreifen können, wenn die beiden so aneinandergefügten Module um eine halbe Nadelteilung gegeneinander versetzt sind.Such a module for a tufting machine is known from DE-PS 2 828 278. The modules can be screwed onto a needle bar. Each base body has on its rear side facing the needle bar two conical recesses which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the module. Correspondingly, two projections, which are also at a distance, are provided on the front of the base body. The recesses and the projections are dimensioned such that the projections of one module can engage in the recesses of another if the two modules joined together are offset by half a needle pitch.

Mit dem bekannten Modul ist es also möglich, zwei Nadelreihen durch Bildung von zwei entsprechenden Modulreihen zu schaffen, wobei dann die Nadeln der einen Reine zu denen der anderen um eine halbe Teilung versetzt sind.With the known module it is therefore possible to create two rows of needles by forming two corresponding rows of modules, in which case the needles of one line are offset by half a pitch from those of the other.

Beim Tuften wird mit einer großen Anzahl abweichender Teilungen der Tuftingwerkzeuge gearbeitet. Dies führt bei dem bekannten Modul dazu, daß für jede Teilung gesondert ein Grundkörper hergestellt werden muß, bei dem die Vorsprünge der Vorderseite relativ zu den Ausnehmungen der Rückseite entsprechend der jeweils gewünschten Teilung versetzt anzuordnen sind.When tufting, a large number of different divisions of the tufting tools are used. This leads to the Known module that a base body must be made separately for each division, in which the projections of the front are to be arranged offset relative to the recesses on the back according to the desired division.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, diesen Nachteil des bekannten Moduls zu vermeiden. Es soll insbesondere erreicht werden, ohne Einbuße an Präzision der aneinanderzufügenden Module die Zahl der erforderlichen unterschiedlich zu gestaltenden Grundkörper zu reduzieren.The object of the present invention is now to avoid this disadvantage of the known module. In particular, it is to be achieved without reducing the number of required basic bodies to be designed differently without sacrificing the precision of the modules to be joined together.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einem Modul der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Vertiefungen auf der Rückseite durch die Zwischenräume einer versenkt angeordneten Zahnreihe gebildet sind, deren Zähne untereinander gleich und äquidistant angeordnet sind und gerade Zahnflanken haben, daß die Vorsprünge auf der Vorderseite durch eine vorstehende Zahnleiste gebildet sind, wobei die Zähne und die Zwischenräume der Zahnleiste den Zwischenräumen bzw` den Zähnen der Zahnreihe angepaßt sind.This object is achieved according to the invention in a module of the type mentioned at the outset in that the depressions on the back are formed by the interspaces of a recessed row of teeth, the teeth of which are arranged identically and equidistantly from one another and have straight tooth flanks, in that the projections on the front face a protruding toothed rack are formed, the teeth and the spaces of the toothed rack being matched to the spaces or teeth of the row of teeth.

Die versenkt angeordnete Zahnreihe läßt ein problemloses Anlegen der Rückseite des Moduls an eine Barre, z.B. Nadelbarre, zu. Die Zähne der Zahnleiste auf der Vorderseite eines Moduls können leicht in die Zwischenräume der Zahnreihe eines anderen Moduls eingeführt werden. Es kommt dabei zu einem selbsttätigen Ausrichten in Längsrichtung. Es ist dabei möglich, die Verbindung zwischen zwei derart ineinandergreifenden Modulen um einen weiteren oder um mehrere weitere Zähne zu versetzen. Dadurch läßt sich folglich die Relativstellung der Tuftingwerkzeuge benachbarter Reihen zwei-oder mehrstufig verändern.The recessed row of teeth allows the rear of the module to be easily attached to a bar, e.g. Needle bar, too. The teeth of the rack on the front of one module can be easily inserted into the spaces between the teeth of another module. This results in automatic alignment in the longitudinal direction. It is possible to move the connection between two modules that interlock in this way by one or more additional teeth. As a result, the relative position of the tufting tools of adjacent rows can be changed in two or more stages.

Das erfindungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß der Mittenabstand der Tuftingwerkzeuge das n-fache des Abstandes zwischen den Zähnen ausmacht, wobei n eine ganze Zahl > 1 ist.The module according to the invention can also be designed such that the center distance of the tufting tools is n times the distance between the teeth, where n is an integer> 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Zwischenräume der Zahnreihe gegenüber den Zähnen der Zahnleiste versetzt sind, wobei dieser Versatz 1/n des Mittenabstandes zwischen den Tuftingwerkzeugen und n eine ganze Zahl > 1 ist.The module according to the invention can also be designed such that the spaces between the row of teeth are offset with respect to the teeth of the rack, this offset 1 / n of the center distance between the tufting tools and n being an integer> 1.

Das erfindungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Teilung der Zahnleiste und der Zahnreihe 1,98 mm (=5/64 Zoll), 1,27 mm (=1/20 Zoll) oder 1,59 mm (=1/16 Zoll) beträgt.The module according to the invention can also be designed such that the pitch of the toothed rack and the row of teeth is 1.98 mm (= 5/64 inches), 1.27 mm (= 1/20 inches) or 1.59 mm (= 1/16 Inches).

So ist es z.B. möglich, die Zahnreihe und die Zahnleiste des Grundkörpers mit einer Teilung von 1.98 mm (=5/64 Zoll) auszubilden. Die für diesen Grundkörper erforderliche Form kann dann ohne jegliche Veränderungen dazu verwendet werden, Tuftingwerkzeuge mit einer 1,98 mm (=5/64 Zoll) oder 3,97 mm (=5/32 Zoll) oder 7,94 mm (=5/16 Zoll) Teilung aufzunehmen. Beim Eingießen der Tuftingwerkzeuge sind diese lediglich entsprechend der vorgeschriebenen Teilung in der Form des Grundkörpers zu plazieren. Dadurch wird eine starke Reduktion der erforderlichen Formen zur Herstellung der Grundkörper erreicht.So it is e.g. possible to design the row of teeth and the toothed rack of the base body with a pitch of 1.98 mm (= 5/64 inches). The shape required for this base body can then be used without any changes, tufting tools with a 1.98 mm (= 5/64 inch) or 3.97 mm (= 5/32 inch) or 7.94 mm (= 5 / 16 inch) pitch. When pouring the tufting tools, they are only to be placed according to the prescribed division in the shape of the base body. As a result, the required shapes for producing the base body are greatly reduced.

Das erfindungsgemäße Modul kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die Zahnreihe der Anlageleiste und die Zahnleiste der Aufnahmeschulter benachbart ist.The module according to the invention can also be designed such that the row of teeth of the contact strip and the toothed strip of the receiving shoulder is adjacent.

Die Anlageleiste und die Aufnahmeschulter dienen dazu, das Ausrichten der Module an der Barre bzw. an der benachbarten Modulreihe zu vereinfachen.The system bar and the mounting shoulder serve to simplify the alignment of the modules on the bar or on the neighboring module row.

Schließlich kann das erfindungsgemäße Modul so ausgebildet sein, daß die Zahnflanken jedes Zahnes miteinander einen Winkel von 35° bis 50° bilden. Versuche haben gezeigt, daß sich insbesondere in diesem Winkelbereich der Zähne ein optimales Ineinandergreifen und damit Ausrichten ergibt, wobei die auftretende Druckkraft von der Flanke des einen Zahns auf die des benachbarten Zahns übertragen wird. Das Entformen wird dabei ohne Schwierigkeiten möglich.Finally, the module according to the invention can be designed such that the tooth flanks of each tooth form an angle with one another of 35 ° to 50 °. Experiments have shown that, particularly in this angular range of the teeth, there is an optimal interlocking and thus alignment, the compressive force occurring being transmitted from the flank of one tooth to that of the adjacent tooth. De-molding is possible without difficulty.

Das in den Figuren dargestellte Modul hat einen Grundkörper 1, in der die Kolben von parallel und äquidistant angeordneten Tuftingnadeln 2 eingegossen sind. Der Grundkörper 1 hat eine Rückseite 3 und eine parallel dazu verlaufende Vorderseite 4. Rückseite 3 und Vorderseite 4 laufen parallel zueinander. Von der Rückseite 3 springt eine Anlageleiste 5 vor. Dieser Anlageleiste 5 ist eine in der Rückseite 3 versenkt angeordnete Zahnreihe 6 benachbart.The module shown in the figures has a base body 1, in which the pistons are cast by tufting needles 2 arranged in parallel and equidistantly. The base body 1 has a rear side 3 and a front side 4 running parallel thereto. From the back 3, a system bar 5 projects. This contact strip 5 is adjacent to a row of teeth 6 sunk in the rear 3.

Auf der Vorderseite 4 ist auf der Höhe der Anlageleiste 5 eine Aufnahmeschulter 7 vorgesehen. Dieser ist eine aus der Vorderseite 4 vorstehende Zahnleiste 8 benachbart.A receiving shoulder 7 is provided on the front 4 at the level of the contact bar 5. This is one from the Front 4 protruding rack 8 adjacent.

Im Grundkörper ist ferner ein Langloch 9 vorgesehen, das durch den Grundkörper 1 hindurchreicht und dessen längere Achse in Längsrichtung des Moduls weist. Der Durchmesser des Langlochs 9 erweitert sich aus entformungstechnischen Gründen von der Vorderseite 4 in Richtung auf die RückseiteAn elongated hole 9 is also provided in the base body, which extends through the base body 1 and has its longer axis in the longitudinal direction of the module. The diameter of the elongated hole 9 widens from the front 4 towards the rear for demolding reasons

Die versenkt angeordnete Zahnreihe 6 hat äquidistant angeordnet Zähne 10 mit geraden Flanken. Das Profil der Zähne 10 entspricht dem Profil der Zwischenräume 11 zwischen den Zähnen 10.The sunk row 6 has equidistant teeth 10 with straight flanks. The profile of the teeth 10 corresponds to the profile of the spaces 11 between the teeth 10.

Die Zahnleiste 8 auf der Vorderseite 4 hat Zähne 12 und Zwischenräume 13, die in ihrem Profil demjenigen der Zahnreihe 6 entsprechen. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel liegt jeweils ein Zahn 12 der Zahnleiste 8 gegenüber einem Zwischenraum 11 der Zahnreihe 6. Die Zähne 12 der Zahnleiste 8 können folglich in die Zwischenräume 11 der Zahnreihe 6 eines weiteren, gleich ausgebildeten Moduls eingeführt werden, wobei die Vorderseite 4 dann auf der Rückseite 3 zu liegen kommt. Zwei derart aneinandergefügte Module können in mehreren, in Längsrichtung des Moduls gegeneinander verschobenen Stellungen derart aneinandergefügt werden.The toothed rack 8 on the front side 4 has teeth 12 and spaces 13 which correspond in their profile to that of the row of teeth 6. In the illustrated embodiment, one tooth 12 of the toothed strip 8 lies opposite an intermediate space 11 of the row of teeth 6. The teeth 12 of the toothed strip 8 can consequently be inserted into the intermediate spaces 11 of the toothed row 6 of a further module of the same design, the front side 4 then on the Back 3 comes to rest. Two modules joined together in this way can be joined together in a plurality of positions displaced relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the module.

Die Figuren 5 - 8 zeigen zwei derart aneinandergefügte Module. In dieser Position liegt jeweils die Anlageleiste 5 des einen Moduls auf der Aufnahmeschulter 7 des anderen Moduls, während die Zahnleiste 8 des einen in die Zahnreihe 6 des anderen eingreift. Wenn die so aneinandergesetzten Module relativ zueinander in Längsrichtung der Module versetzt sind, dann fluchten die Langlöcher 9 nicht vollständig miteinander, sondern jedes Langloch überragt das jeweils andere in Langsrichtung. Beide Langlöcher der aufeinandergesetzten Module lassen aber einen gemeinsamen Durchlaß frei, durch den eine nicht dargestellte Schraube zum Festlegen der Module an der Barre hindurchgeführt werden kann.FIGS. 5-8 show two modules joined together in this way. In this position, the contact strip 5 of one module lies on the receiving shoulder 7 of the other module, while the toothed strip 8 of the one engages in the tooth row 6 of the other. If the modules placed in this way are offset relative to one another in the longitudinal direction of the modules, then the elongated holes 9 are not completely aligned with one another, but each elongated hole projects above the other in the longitudinal direction. Both slots of the stacked modules leave a common passage through which a screw, not shown, can be passed to fix the modules on the bar.

Das Modul kann zur Bildung einer Nadelreihe, durch Aneinandersetzen von zwei Modulreihen zur Bildung von zwei Nadelreihen sowie auch zur Bildung von drei oder vier Nadelreihen verwendet werden. Lediglich die Länge der Langlöcher 9 ist entsprechend dem maximalen Versatz der beiden aufeinanderliegenden Module zu wählen.The module can be used to form a row of needles, by placing two rows of modules together to form two rows of needles, and also to form three or four rows of needles. Only the length of the elongated holes 9 is to be selected in accordance with the maximum offset of the two modules lying on one another.
