Es sind kontinuierlich arbeitende, mit mindestens einem endlos umlaufenden, durch ein Druckmittel an das Werkstück gepreßten Band versehene Pressen bekannt (DE-PS 33 13 406), bei denen das Druckmittel in eine an dem Preßband angrenzende und mittels einer umlaufenden Dichtungsleiste abgedichtete, rechteckförmige Druckkammer an der dem Preßband zugekehrten Seite einer Druckplatte einleitbar ist, wobei die Dichtungsleiste mit einem entsprechend rechteckförmigen Fassungsrahmen verbunden ist, der in einer Nut der Druckplatte geführt, nuteinwärts und nutauswärts beweglich gelagert und in Richtung auf das an der Dichtungsleiste entlanggleitend angeordnete Preßband druckbelastet ist.They are continuously working, with at least one endlessly circulating presses provided with a pressure medium to the workpiece pressed band known (DE-PS 33 13 406), in which the pressure medium in an adjacent to the press belt and a rectangular pressure chamber sealed by means of a circumferential sealing strip can be introduced on the side of a pressure plate facing the press belt, the sealing strip having a correspondingly rectangular frame is connected, which is guided in a groove of the pressure plate, groove-in and groove-out movably mounted and in the direction of sliding along the sealing strip arranged press belt is pressurized.

Der durch die Dichtungsleiste gegenüber dem umlaufenden Preßband abgedichtete Spalt kann bei Störfällen aufgrund einer ungleichen Abnutzung der Dichtungsleisten, eines Klemmens des Fassungsrahmens in der Nut der Druckplatte, einer Änderung der Breite des Werkstücks o.dgl. zu einem Verlust an Druckmedium führen, wodurch Oberflächenfehler beim Produkt auftreten können. The one sealed by the sealing strip against the rotating press belt Gap can occur in the event of malfunctions due to uneven wear of the sealing strips, a clamping of the frame in the groove of the pressure plate, a change the width of the workpiece or the like. lead to loss of print media, causing Surface defects in the product can occur.

Es ist ferner eine Vorrichtung zum Aufbringen einer Flächenpressung auf fortschreitende Werkstücke mit mindestens einem umlaufenden Preßband bekannt (DE-PS 29 37 972), das durch Druckmittel innerhalb von mit Dichtungsleisten ausgestatteten, auf der wirksamen Druckfläche des Preßbandes hintereinander angeordneten Druckkammern auf der Innenseite des Preßbandes an das Werkstück anpreßbar ist.It is also a device for applying surface pressure to progressive Workpieces with at least one rotating press belt known (DE-PS 29 37 972), which by means of pressure medium inside, equipped with sealing strips, pressure chambers arranged one behind the other on the effective pressure surface of the press belt can be pressed against the workpiece on the inside of the press belt.

Auch bei dieser Ausführung kann bei einem Störfall im Betrieb Druckmedium durch den Spalt zwischen der Dichtungsleiste und dem Preßband abströmen.With this version, too, pressure medium can flow through in the event of a malfunction flow out the gap between the sealing strip and the press belt.

Es ist ferner eine fortlaufend arbeitende Plattenpresse bekannt (DE-A-22 22 419), bei der zum Arbeitstrum der endlosen Preßbänder geöffnete und durch das Arbeitstrum begrenzte, mit einem Druckmittel beaufschlagte Druckkammern in Gleitpressenteilen angeordnet sind. Auch bei dieser Plattenpresse müssen die den endlosen Preßbändern zugeordneten Druckkammern mit umlaufenden Dichtungen versehen werden, wobei die Breite der Druckkammer mit der Formatbreite des Werkstücks abgestimmt werden muß.A continuously operating plate press is also known (DE-A-22 22 419), at the one opened to the working strand of the endless press belts and through the working strand limited, pressurized pressure chambers in sliding press parts are arranged. With this plate press, too, the endless press belts must be used associated pressure chambers are provided with circumferential seals, the width of the pressure chamber being matched to the format width of the workpiece must become.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, daß eine Begrenzung des Druckraumes unmittelbar durch das Preßband und damit ein Dichtungsspalt zwischen dem umlaufenden Preßband und der seitlichen Begrenzung des Druckraumes entfällt und ein Formatwechsel bei den Werkstücken vorgenommen werden kann, ohne daß sich dies nachteilig auf die Dichtigkeit des Druckkissens auswirken könnte.The invention has for its object a device of the aforementioned Art to design so that a limitation of the pressure space directly through the Press belt and thus a sealing gap between the rotating press belt and the lateral limitation of the printing space is eliminated and a format change for the Workpieces can be made without this adversely affecting the Tightness of the pressure pad could affect.

Claims (9)

  1. Apparatus for continuously producing multi-layer flat materials or other workpieces, in which the layer materials are guided between two endless pressing belts forming a reaction zone and are heated or cooled there and a pressure is applied to the layer materials by at least one pressing belt, wherein associated with said pressing belt in the reaction zone at the side remote from the workpiece is at least one pressure chamber which can be acted upon by a gaseous or liquid pressure medium and which co-operates with a pressure plate at the side remote from the pressing belt, characterised in that the pressure chambers are in the form of mutually juxtaposed hoses (10) which are internally acted upon by a pressure medium and which are elastically deformed while the workpiece passes through the reaction zone and which are connected together at their ends by distributor ducts (11) arranged outside the contour in plan of the pressure plate (5), the hoses (10) extend transversely with respect to the transportation direction (4) of the workpieces, and a sliding film (12) or a sliding film layer is provided between the hoses (10) and the pressing belts.
  2. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterised by a sliding film (12) which is fixed exclusively to the front end (13) of the pressure plate (5), said front end extending transversely with respect to the transportation direction (4).
  3. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterised by a sliding film (12) which is fixed to both ends (5, 16) of the pressure plate (17).
  4. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterised in that winding-on and winding-off rolls are provided for the sliding film upstream and downstream of the pressure plate (5).
  5. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterised by a sliding film which is guided in the form of an endless band passing around the pressure plate.
  6. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterised in that the endlessly circulating pressing belt (11) co-operating with the pressure chamber has a sliding film layer as an internal covering.
  7. Apparatus according to claim 1 characterised in that the hoses (10) are externally provided with a sliding coating.
  8. Apparatus according to one of the preceding claims characterised in that the pressure cushion associated with an endlessly circulating pressing belt and the associated pressure plate comprise a plurality of mutually independent replaceable structural units (22) which each have a pressure cushion which is sealed with respect to the pressure plate (17) and the pressing belt (1).
  9. Apparatus according to claim 8 characterised in that the pressure plates (17) have horizontal guide paths (23) which extend transversely with respect to the transportation direction (4) and which are mounted slidably on guide surfaces (24) which are fixed with respect to the frame structure.
