Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a rotary cutting apparatus usable more particularly in printing lines and shaping of folding cardboard boxes and labels self-adhesive.
  • the present invention relates to improvements made to a rotary cutting device of the aforementioned type allowing very significantly reduce the bending or deflection suffered by the cutting cylinder during a cutting operation and keep the cylinder rockets perfectly embedded superior cutting, even after resulting heating of a certain working period of the device.
  • a rotary cutting device comprises the features of claim 1.
  • Figure 1 is a partial vertical sectional view of a rotary cutting apparatus according to the invention, in the position in which it is stationary, before a work time.
  • Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line II-II of figure 1.
  • Figure 3 is a partial sectional view, to a larger ladder, of an embodiment of a back pressure stop with elastic support, in the position it occupies after a certain period of work of the device.
  • the rotary cutting device which is partially shown in Figure 1, includes a frame consisting of two uprights parallel lateral 1, interconnected by crosspieces horizontal not shown. One side of the device is shown in Figure 1, the other side being symmetrical from the previous one. Each amount 1 is notched, in its part upper, of an opening 3 extending vertically, of rectangular shape and opening into the horizontal face higher of the amount.
  • an interchangeable cutting device consisting of basically two upper cutting cylinders 4 and lower 5, with parallel horizontal axes, between which must pass a tablecloth of paper or cardboard to cut.
  • the upper cutting cylinder 4 is extended, at each of its ends, by a coaxial rocket 4a, and it is integral with two raceways 4b located at a distance from the two faces fronts of the cutting cylinder 4 and between which is the engraved part of cylinder 4.
  • the cylinder of lower cut 5 is extended, at each of its ends, by a coaxial rocket 5a.
  • the raceways upper 4b having the same diameter which is slightly higher to that of the upper cutting cylinder 4, roll on the periphery of the lower cylinder 5 if it is smooth by constituting then an "anvil” cylinder, or else on raceways 5b of the lower cylinder if it is also engraved.
  • the diameter of the paths rolling bearing 4b is equal to that of the paths lower bearing 5b and to the original diameter of gears 7, 8, respectively linked to rockets 4a, 5a of the cutting cylinders 4, 5, outside the upright 1. These link gears 7, 8 are engaged one with each other and are rotated from the control of the device.
  • the rockets 4a and 5a of the cutting cylinders 4, 5 are respectively rotatably mounted in superimposed blocks forming bearings, namely upper and lower bearing blocks 9 10, engaged closely in the openings 3 and capable of sliding vertically in them.
  • Each upper bearing block 9 is extended, at its upper part, towards the interior of the device, by a part in overhang 9a extending above the extreme part of the upper cutting cylinder 4.
  • each block lower bearing 10 is extended, at its lower part, towards the interior of the device by a cantilever part 10a which extends below the extreme part of the cylinder lower cutting 5 and above a fixed insert stop 11.
  • This stop 11 is fixed, by means of screws, to the face internal of the corresponding amount 1 so that its face upper horizontal is located at a level slightly higher than where the lower edge of the opening is 3. Therefore the internal cantilevered part 10a of each lower bearing block 10 is normally supported on the upper face of the insert 11 and the lower face from this lower bearing block 10 is slightly apart from the lower edge of the opening 3.
  • a pressurizing frame 12 which includes a cross central unit 13 carrying, at each of its ends, a jack vertical pressurization 14.
  • the rod of this jack extends down, and its lower end is located just above the cantilever part 9a of the bearing block upper 9 and in contact with it.
  • Each vertical pressurizing cylinder 14 is mounted on the cross member 13 of the pressurizing frame 12, such so that the vertical axis of the jack 14 is contained in a vertical and transverse plane P passing through the lower stop 11 and located between the vertical and transverse plane median P1 of the neighboring upper raceway 4b and the neighboring upper bearing block 9.
  • At least one counterpressure stop 15, integral of the upper bearing block 9, of adjustable height, is interposed between each pair of upper bearing blocks 9 and lower 10.
  • This back pressure stop 15 is located substantially in the vertical and transverse median plane P2 common to the two upper 9 and lower 10 bearing blocks of the same pair of blocks.
  • Means are provided to adjust, as desired, the height of the adjustable back pressure stop (s) 15.
  • These means may include, for example, two vertical rods 16, crossing from top to bottom each upper bearing block 9, on either side of the spindle 4a of the upper cutting cylinder 4, and of which at least the lower parts 16a are threaded and screwed into corresponding tapped holes provided in the lower part of the upper block 9.
  • the two parts lower 16a rods 16 constitute the back pressure stop 15 supported by their lower front faces, on the upper face of the lower bearing block 10.
  • the two rods 16 are integral of respective pinions 17 engaged with a pinion common central 18 secured to a vernier 19. It is thus possible, by turning this vernier 19, to adjust the height of which the lower parts 16a of the rods 16 make projection below the bearing block 9 and consequently the spacing between the two blocks 9 and 10.
  • the pressurizing frame 12 When the rotary cutting device is pressurized, the pressurizing frame 12 extends horizontally and when each cylinder 14 is put under pressure, its rod is pushed down, against the bearing block upper 9.
  • the force F produced by the jack 14 is exerted towards the bottom in the vertical and transverse plane P passing through the axis of the corresponding jack 14 and it is collected by the fixed stop 11.
  • the external pressure force F directed downwards, opposes a first reaction force F1, directed upwards, acting between the raceways 4b and 5b and at a second reaction or back pressure force F2, directed upwards, acting between the two rockets 4a and 5a and tending to separate them from each other.
  • Such a built-in device for the rocket 4a operates satisfactorily at the start of a shift but after a while, the cutting cylinder 4 and the anvil cylinder 5 heats up and the resulting expansion causes a separation of the axes of these two cylinders 4 and 5.
  • This spacing is easily absorbed by the vertical cylinder 14 whose stem retracts somewhat, but because the axis of the upper cutting cylinder 4 moves upwards relative to the axis of the lower anvil cylinder 5 maintained fixed, each upper bearing 9 moves upwards by relative to the lower bearing 10 remaining fixed and the front face lower of back pressure stop 15 deviates from the upper support face of the lower bearing block 10, if although this back pressure stop no longer plays its role and that the backpressure force F2 decreases.
  • This elastic means 21 which can be composed, for example, Belleville washers or an elastomer block, is housed in a recess 22 formed in the upper face of the block lower bearing 10.
  • the elastic means 21 bears on the bottom 23 of hollow 22, bottom to which is applied normally the lower front face 16b of each rod 26.
  • the threaded lower part 16a of each rod 16 is extended downwards by an extreme part more small diameter 16c which extends to the front face lower 16b of the rod 16.
  • the elastic means 21 (washers Belleville or annular elastomer block) surrounds the extreme part of small diameter 16c and it is in abutment towards the top against the annular shoulder 24 formed between the part lower threaded 16a of the rod 16 and the end part 16b small diameter.
  • each rod 16 is adjusted so that its lower front face 16b either in contact with the bottom 23 of the hollow 22, as it is shown in Figures 1 and 2.
  • the elastic means 21 is strongly crushed.
  • the cutting cylinders 4 and 5 have heated up and dilated and the axis of rotation of the upper cylinder 4 moved upwards, then moving the front side away lower 16b of the back pressure stop 15 23 of the recess 22, as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the characteristics of the elastic means 21 are chosen so that this elastic element 21 continues to exert upward reaction or back pressure F2 which allows the installation of the spindle 4a of the upper cutting cylinder 4. Therefore the initial setting happens to be kept practically constant whatever the temperature of the cutting cylinders.
