Abstract

The invention relates to a machine making it possible to surface, parallel to the bottom, the upper part of an earthenware pot before firing so that the pot can receive an industrial closure after firing. The pots, held by suckers, are set down on trays A placed on a conveyor F motorised at a variable speed and arrive in a tunnel D. They undergo two successive machinings (one blanking, one finishing) carried out by abrasion or by cutting tools rotating at very high speed. Two variable speed grinding spindles WW' provide the machining. A suction system XX' inside the tunnel prevents soiling. <IMAGE>

Description

La présente invention concerne une machine permettant de surfacer - de façon parallèle au fond - la partie supérieure d'une terrine en terre avant cuisson, afin de lui permettre de recevoir après cuisson un operculage industrielThe present invention relates to a machine making it possible to surface - parallel to the bottom - the upper part of an earthenware dish before cooking, in order to allow it to receive after cooking an industrial lidding.

La partie supérieure des terrines est traditionnellement laissée à l'état brut de façonnage, le produit avant cuisson est très fragile son usinage n'est pas entrepris.The upper part of the terrines is traditionally left in the rough state of shaping, the product before cooking is very fragile its machining is not undertaken.

Le retrait de la terre en séchant est important, provoque des tensions et entraîne des déformations pouvant aller jusqu'à plusieurs milimètres.The withdrawal of the earth when drying is important, causes tensions and causes deformations of up to several millimeters.

Cette invention permet de remédier à cet inconvénient et de réduire la planéité à 0,2 - 0,4 mm maximum.This invention overcomes this disadvantage and reduces the flatness to 0.2 - 0.4 mm maximum.

Actuellement, l'operculage ne se pratique pas sur des terrines en terre, la déformation de celles-ci ne le permet pas.Currently, the sealing is not practiced on earthen terrines, the deformation of these does not allow it.

Cette invention peut prétendre apporter la possibilité d'operculer industriellement les terrines en terre cuite.This invention can claim to provide the possibility of industrially sealing terracotta terrines.

Figure 1 planche 1/4Figure 1 board 1/4

Un opérateur situé au poste B dispose des terrines sur des plateaux A placés sur un convoyeur motorisé F, celles-ci sont maintenues par des ventouses et arrivent dans le tunnel D.An operator located at post B has terrines on trays A placed on a motorized conveyor F, these are maintained by suction cups and arrive in tunnel D.

La vitesse du convoyeur est réglée par un moto réducteur qui entraîne une poulie crantée E.The speed of the conveyor is regulated by a reduction motor which drives a toothed pulley E.

Sur la courroie J sont fixés les plateaux A.On the belt J are fixed the plates A.

En avançant dans le tunnel les terrines subissent deux usinages successifs 1 ébauche, 1 finition, les usinages sont réalisés par abrasion ou par outils coupants tournant à très grande vitesse ; deux broches rectifieuses à vitesse variable W W'assurent les usinages.While advancing in the tunnel, the terrines undergo two successive machining operations 1 draft, 1 finishing, the machining operations are carried out by abrasion or by cutting tools rotating at very high speed; two grinding spindles with variable speed W W ensure the machining.

Les pièces ainsi transformées reviennent au poste B et sont retirées du convoyeur F. Le convoyeur F s'arrête quand un plateau A se présente au poste B et ne repart qu'après ordre de l'opérateur.The pieces thus transformed return to station B and are withdrawn from conveyor F. Conveyor F stops when a plate A comes to station B and does not start again until the operator orders.

Pendant la période de chargement et de déchargement période d'arrêt, les pièces disposées sur les plateaux A ne sont pas au stade d'usinage.During the loading and unloading period, the parts placed on the trays A are not at the machining stage.

Les trous X X' permettent de raccorder une aspiration qui évitera les salissures.The holes X X 'allow to connect a suction which will avoid dirt.

Z représente la ventouse qui permet de maintenir les terrines ou les plats sur un plateau A.Z represents the suction cup which keeps the terrines or the dishes on a tray A.

R indique une zone traitée qui s'emboitera dans une glissière Y le galet S permet le bon cheminement le bon centrage du produit sur le convoyeur,l'axe carré K mobile, permet de fixer la courroie crantée, de maintenir le plateau et d'établir le pas de fonctionnement. M-H-I permettent le maintien et le réglage du ressort N. G cylindre épaulé et fileté à ses extrémités permet de recevoir la ventouse Z et le tuyau d'air.R indicates a treated area which will fit into a slide Y the roller S allows the correct routing the correct centering of the product on the conveyor, the movable square axis K, makes it possible to fix the toothed belt, to maintain the plate and to establish the operating step. MHI allow the maintenance and the adjustment of the spring N. G cylinder shouldered and threaded at its ends allows to receive the suction cup Z and the air hose.
