Abstract

Für eine Bügelmaschine mit rechnergestützter Steuereinrichtung für den Zustelldruck bzw. die Preßzeit zwischen einer oberen und einer unteren Formplatte (10, 16), die relativ zueinander sowohl vertikal als auch horizontal verfahrbar sind, wird mit der Erfindung eine Differenzdruckregeleinrichtung (1 bis 6, 11) vorgeschlagen, die bei der rechnergesteuerten Druckbeaufschlagung des Bügelguts das Eigengewicht der verfahrbaren Formplatte, in der Regel der oberen Formplatte (10) berücksichtigt. Mit der Erfindung ist eine wesentlich höhere Bügelqualität, insbesondere bei empfindlichen Textilien, erreichbar, weil der Bügeldruck reproduzierbar innerhalb sehr feiner Abstufungen vorgewählt werden kann.The invention relates to a differential pressure control device (1 to 6, 11) for an ironing machine with a computer-assisted control device for the delivery pressure or the pressing time between an upper and a lower mold plate (10, 16) which can be moved both vertically and horizontally relative to one another. Proposed that takes into account the weight of the movable mold plate, usually the upper mold plate (10), in the computer-controlled pressurization of the items to be ironed. With the invention, a significantly higher ironing quality can be achieved, particularly in the case of sensitive textiles, because the ironing pressure can be preselected reproducibly within very fine gradations.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Bügelmaschine mit einer rechnergestützten Steuereinrichtung und einer oberen und einer unteren Formplatte, die an ihren einander zugekehrten Seiten jeweils eine Bügelfläche aufweisen und relativ zueinander horizontal verfahrbar sind und bei der mindestens die obere Formplatte über einen Druckzylinder vertikal verfahrbar ist.The invention relates to an ironing machine with a computer-assisted control device and an upper and a lower mold plate, each of which has an ironing surface on their mutually facing sides and can be moved horizontally relative to one another and in which at least the upper mold plate can be moved vertically via a pressure cylinder.

In der DE-Patentschrift 39 21 024 Cl ist eine Bügelmaschine der genannten Art beschrieben, die mit einer Meßeinrichtung ausgestattet ist, um die kürzeste Entfernung zwischen der oberen Formplatte und der auf die untere Formplatte aufgelegten, zu bügelnden Ware zu ermitteln. Der ermittelte Entfernungswert wird in einem Rechner weiterverarbeitet, der daraus den für das Bügelgut optimalen Bügeldruck und die entsprechende Bügelzeit ermittelt und an eine pneumatische oder hydraulische Steuereinrichtung abgibt, wie sie beispielsweise in der DD-PS 53 040 beschrieben ist. Die Meßeinrichtung ist vorzugsweise mit berührungslos arbeitenden Entfernungsmessern mit optischen Sensoren oder Ultraschallsensoren ausgestattet, und über den Rechner lassen sich Bügeldruck- und Zeitwerte in Anpassung an die unterschiedlichen Stoffarten vorgeben.DE 39 39 024 Cl describes an ironing machine of the type mentioned, which is equipped with a measuring device in order to determine the shortest distance between the upper mold plate and the goods to be ironed placed on the lower mold plate. The determined distance value is processed further in a computer, which determines the optimum ironing pressure and the corresponding ironing time for the items to be ironed and outputs them to a pneumatic or hydraulic control device, as described, for example, in DD-PS 53 040. The measuring device is preferably equipped with non-contact rangefinders with optical sensors or ultrasonic sensors, and the pressure and time values can be specified on the computer in adaptation to the different types of substance.

Bei der Einstellung der Vorgabewerte für die Steuereinrichtung über den Rechner arbeitet man mit Werten, die empirisch ermittelt werden. Wie sich in der Praxis gezeigt hat, wird hierbei aber entweder spezielle Fachkenntnis verlangt oder eine exakte Druckbeaufschlagung des Bügelguts ist nicht möglich, da insbesondere das Eigengewicht der oberen Formplatte samt technischen Zusätzen (Kolben, Kolbenführungsstange und dergleichen) unberücksichtigt bleiben, so daß sich das Eigengewicht der oberen Formplatte zur Druckwirkung des Preßzylinders, der die beiden Formplatten gegeneinander zustellt, summiert. Dies führt zumindest bei einigen empfindlichen Textilien zu nicht akzeptablen Bügelergebnissen.When setting the default values for the control device via the computer, one works with values that are determined empirically. As in the Practice has shown, but either special expertise is required or an exact pressurization of the ironing material is not possible, since in particular the dead weight of the upper mold plate including technical additives (pistons, piston guide rod and the like) are not taken into account, so that the dead weight of the upper mold plate becomes Pressure effect of the press cylinder, which feeds the two mold plates against each other, adds up. This leads to unacceptable ironing results, at least for some delicate textiles.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Bügelmaschinen der eingangs genannten Gattung so zu verbessern, daß bei der Einstellung des Bügeldrucks mit Bezug auf das jeweilige Bügelgut keine Fehler entstehen, insbesondere aufgrund des Drucks des Eigengewichts unterschiedlicher, jeweils auf das Bügelgut angepaßter oberer Formplatten.The invention has for its object to improve ironing machines of the type mentioned in such a way that no errors occur when setting the ironing pressure with reference to the respective ironing material, in particular due to the pressure of the dead weight of different upper mold plates each adapted to the ironing material.

Die erfindungsgemäße Lösung des aufgezeigten Problems ist gekennzeichnet durch eine Differenzdruckregeleinrichtung, die bei der rechnergesteuerten Druckbeaufschlagung des Bügelguts das Eigengewicht der jeweiligen oberen Formplatte, gegebenenfalls samt Zubehör, wie Kolbenstange und Beschläge, in Relation zur Bügelfläche berücksichtigt.The solution according to the invention to the problem shown is characterized by a differential pressure control device which takes into account the weight of the respective upper mold plate, if appropriate including accessories, such as piston rod and fittings, in relation to the ironing surface when computer-controlled pressurization of the ironing goods.

Mit der Erfindung wird vor allem verhindert, daß das Gewicht der oberen Formplatte unkontrolliert auf die Ware (Textilmaterial) mit übertragen wird, wenn die obere Formplatte gegen die untere Formplatte zugestellt wird, d. h. wenn bei zunehmendem Druck auf die obere Zylinderkammer eines die obere Formplatte verschiebenden Druckzylinders die zugeordnete untere Zylinderkammer stark entlüftet wird.Above all, the invention prevents the weight of the upper mold plate from being transferred in an uncontrolled manner to the goods (textile material) when the upper mold plate is fed against the lower mold plate, i.e. H. if, with increasing pressure on the upper cylinder chamber of a pressure cylinder displacing the upper mold plate, the associated lower cylinder chamber is heavily vented.

Aufgrund der Erfindung ist es möglich, das Bügelgut mit sehr geringen Druckabstufungen zu beaufschlagen. Außerdem läßt sich mit sehr geringen, genau reproduzierbaren und vorprogrammierbaren Drücken arbeiten, beispielsweise im niedrigen Druckbereich von 10 p/cm² bis 100 p/cm². Dabei kann das Gewicht der oberen Formplatte je nach Größe der Bügelfläche und gewünschter Vorformung beispielsweise 20 bis 120 kg betragen.Because of the invention, it is possible to apply very low pressure gradations to the material to be ironed. It is also possible to work with very low, precisely reproducible and preprogrammable pressures, for example in the low pressure range from 10 p / cm² to 100 p / cm². The weight of the upper mold plate can be, for example, 20 to 120 kg, depending on the size of the ironing surface and the desired preforming.

Die erfindungsgemäße Differenzdruckregeleinrichtung für Bügelmaschinen in Kombination mit der steuernden Recheneinheit sieht insbesondere vor, im Rechner den im Verhältnis zur jeweiligen Kolbenfläche des Preßzylinders der oberen Formplatte notwendigen Druckwert mit dem Gewicht der jeweiligen Formplatte im Gleichgewicht zu halten bzw. den zu programmierenden und zu beaufschlagenden Druckwert in ein Gleichgewicht zu bringen, das in jeder Fahrposition des Druckzylinders kontrolliert aufrechterhalten wird.The differential pressure control device according to the invention for ironing machines in combination with the controlling arithmetic unit provides, in particular, in the computer to keep the pressure value required in relation to the respective piston surface of the press cylinder of the upper mold plate in balance with the weight of the respective mold plate or the pressure value to be programmed and loaded in to bring a balance in everyone Driving position of the pressure cylinder is maintained in a controlled manner.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend unter Bezug auf die beigefügte Zeichnung zusammen mit weiteren vorteilhaften Einzelheiten erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings together with further advantageous details.

Die einzige Figur zeigt in schematischer Darstellung eine Bügelmaschine, bei der die erfindungsgemäße Differenzdruckregeleinrichtung in Verbindung mit der oberen Formplatte vorgesehen ist.The single figure shows a schematic representation of an ironing machine in which the differential pressure control device according to the invention is provided in connection with the upper mold plate.

Alle im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung nicht wesentlichen Teile und Baugruppen sind nicht oder nur in schematischen Umrissen dargestellt.All parts and assemblies that are not essential in connection with the invention are not shown or are only shown in schematic outlines.

Die Zeichnung zeigt eine obere Formplatte 10 und eine untere Formplatte 16. Die obere Formplatte 10 ist über eine (oder mehrere) Kolbenstange(n) 7 mit dem (den) Kolben 9 eines Druck-/Hubzylinders 8 (mehrerer Druck-/Hubzylinder) verbunden. Die Vertikalposition des Kolbens 9 ist in bekannter Weise durch unterschiedliche Druckverhältnisse in einer oberen Druckkammer 12 bzw. einer unteren Druckkammer 13 bestimmt. Diese Druckverhältnisse oder Druckunterschiede werden durch einen Rechner 11 ermittelt und gesteuert.The drawing shows an upper mold plate 10 and a lower mold plate 16. The upper mold plate 10 is connected via one (or more) piston rod (s) 7 to the piston (s) 9 of a pressure / lifting cylinder 8 (several pressure / lifting cylinders) . The vertical position of the piston 9 is determined in a known manner by different pressure conditions in an upper pressure chamber 12 and a lower pressure chamber 13. These pressure conditions or pressure differences are determined and controlled by a computer 11.

Erfindungsgemäß ist an die untere Druckkammer 13 ein erster Drucksensor 5 und an die obere Druckkammer 12 ein zweiter Drucksensor 6 angeschlossen. Die von den Drucksensoren 5, 6 festgestellten Druckwerte gehen als zwei Eingangssignale auf den Rechner 11, welcher daraus unter Berücksichtigung des jeweiligen Eigengewichts der oberen Formplatte (einschließlich zugehöriger Kolbenstange 7 und Kolben 9) Druckwerte für die obere Druckkammer 12 bzw. die untere Druckkammer 13 ermittelt, derart, daß unter Berücksichtigung des jeweiligen Bügelguts ein optimaler Bügeldruck bzw. die richtige Bügelzeit automatisch eingestellt werden.According to the invention, a first pressure sensor 5 is connected to the lower pressure chamber 13 and a second pressure sensor 6 is connected to the upper pressure chamber 12. The pressure values determined by the pressure sensors 5, 6 are sent as two input signals to the computer 11, which determines the pressure values for the upper pressure chamber 12 and the lower pressure chamber 13, taking into account the respective dead weight of the upper mold plate (including the associated piston rod 7 and piston 9) , in such a way that an optimal ironing pressure or the correct ironing time are automatically set taking into account the respective ironing material.

Um die errechneten Druckwerte für die obere Druckkammer 12 bzw. die untere Druckkammer 13 einzustellen, sind die genannten Druckkammern mit jeweils einem Paar eines Be- bzw. Entlüftungsventils 1, 2 bzw. 3, 4 verbunden. Die Belüftungsventile 1 bzw. 4 sind an eine pneumatische oder hydraulische Druckquelle 15 (nicht dargestellt) angeschlossen, während die Entlüftungsventile 2 bzw. 4 bei pneumatischer Druckquelle gegebenenfalls über entsprechende Filter, Druckreduzierleitungen und Schalldämpfer auf Atmosphärendruck belüften, während im Falle einer Hydraulikanlage die Belüftungsventile 2 und 3 an einen entsprechenden Unterdruckbehälter angeschlossen sind. Im dargestellten Beispiel handelt es sich bei den Ventilen 1 bis 4 um elektromagnetisch betätigbare Ventile, deren Steuersignale, wie gestrichelt dargestellt, vom Rechner 11 geliefert werden.In order to set the calculated pressure values for the upper pressure chamber 12 and the lower pressure chamber 13, the pressure chambers mentioned are each connected to a pair of a ventilation valve 1, 2 or 3, 4. The ventilation valves 1 and 4 are connected to a pneumatic or hydraulic pressure source 15 (not shown), while the ventilation valves 2 and 4 with pneumatic pressure source, if necessary, vent to atmospheric pressure via appropriate filters, pressure reducing lines and silencers, while in the case of a hydraulic system, the ventilation valves 2 and 3 are connected to a corresponding vacuum tank. In the example shown, the valves 1 to 4 are electromagnetically actuated Valves whose control signals, as shown in dashed lines, are supplied by the computer 11.

Im Rechner 11 werden außer den bereits aus der Druckschrift DE 39 21 024 Cl bekannten Werten für den bügelgutspezifischen Druck bzw. die Bügelzeit über eine Einstelleinheit 17 die im Verhältnis zur Kolbenfläche notwendigen Gegendruckwerte zum Ausgleich des Gewichts der oberen Formplatte 10 eingegeben. Der schematisch angegebene Druckwert P9 entspricht damit dem Formplattengewicht, dividiert durch die Kolbenfläche der unteren Druckkammer 13. Der zu beaufschlagende Druckwert für die obere Druckkammer 12 wird - für die gängigen Typen von oberen Formplatten 10 als Standardwert - eingegeben und durch den Rechner nach der Formel

Figure imgb0001

Für den Preßdruck, der über ein digitales elektronisches Programmiersystem einzugeben ist, gilt dann entsprechend:
Figure imgb0002
Auf einer entsprechenden digitalen Anzeige wird bei der Programmierung der "Programmierdruck" in p/cm² [der Formplattenfläche] umgesetzt.In addition to the values for the ironing material-specific pressure or ironing time already known from the document DE 39 21 024 C1, the counterpressure values necessary in relation to the piston area to compensate for the weight of the upper mold plate 10 are entered in the computer 11. The schematically indicated pressure value P9 thus corresponds to the mold plate weight, divided by the piston area of the lower pressure chamber 13. The pressure value to be applied to the upper pressure chamber 12 is entered as a standard value for the common types of upper mold plates 10 and by the computer according to the formula
Figure imgb0001
The following then applies accordingly to the baling pressure that is to be entered via a digital electronic programming system:
Figure imgb0002
The "programming pressure" in p / cm² [of the mold plate area] is implemented on a corresponding digital display during programming.

Über die elektromagnetischen Ventile 1 bis 4 läßt sich damit eine sehr genau kontrollierte Druckbeaufschlagung in der oberen bzw. unteren Druckkammer des Zylinders 8 erreichen. Dies gilt für jede Vertikalposition des Kolbens 9, ausgenommen, wenn der Kolben 9 unmittelbar auf dem Zylinderboden anliegt.A very precisely controlled pressurization in the upper or lower pressure chamber of the cylinder 8 can thus be achieved via the electromagnetic valves 1 to 4. This applies to every vertical position of the piston 9, except when the piston 9 lies directly on the cylinder base.

Die Erfindung ist nicht auf Bügelmaschinen beschränkt, bei denen lediglich die obere Formplatte vertikal verfahrbar ist, obwohl diese Ausführungsform bei weitem die häufigste sein wird. Für den Fachmann ist ersichtlich, daß die Erfindung auch auf Bügelmaschinen Anwendung finden kann, bei denen entweder nur die untere Formplatte oder bei welcher beide Formplatten in Vertikalrichtung aufeinander zustellbar sind. Für den Fall einer Bügelmaschine, bei der lediglich die untere Formplatte vertikal verfahrbar ist, sind selbstverständlich die oben dargestellten Überlegungen zur Berücksichtigung des Gewichts der jeweiligen Formplatte mit umgekehrten Vorzeichen zu berücksichtigen.The invention is not limited to ironing machines in which only the upper mold plate can be moved vertically, although this embodiment will be by far the most common. It is apparent to the person skilled in the art that the invention can also be used on ironing machines in which either only the lower mold plate or in which both mold plates can be moved towards one another in the vertical direction. In the case of an ironing machine in which only the lower mold plate can be moved vertically, the considerations set out above for taking into account the weight of the respective mold plate must of course be taken into account with the opposite sign.
