Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the manufacture and stacking of layered cellulose products and in particular cotton pads as used for cosmetic purposes.
  • An apparatus for punching rounds or other shaped parts out of a fibrous material is known from DE-A-30 22 369, in which a punch cooperates with a die.
  • a web of cotton or cotton wool is guided stepwise over the die. With each stepwise advance of the web, the punch performs a punching motion.
  • the punched rounds are transported downwards through the punching die into a pipe passage, through which they are pushed successively.
  • a subsequent charging station as disclosed in DE-A-43 16 363 partial stacks are separated from the continuous stream of products to be stacked, the number of rounds in a partial stack corresponding to the desired number in a packing unit - for instance a flexible tubular bag.
  • the punching apparatus known from DE-A-30 22 369 has the drawback that the raw material web of cellulose or cotton must be stopped for each punching operation. Furthermore, punching is a comparatively rough way of material treatment, which is accompanied with some noise. Moreover, it is inherent in the system that the cutting edges of a punch are highly susceptible to wear.
  • the handling arrangement for layered cellulose products, in particular cotton pads, according to DE-A-195 08 248 means a certain improvement.
  • This handling arrangement is provided with a temporary storage device which moves the successive cotton pads between a punching machine and a packing station.
  • the temporary storage device has at least one pair of separate chambers for the serial take-up of the cellulose products discharged from the punching machine in a number corresponding to the packing unit and for transferring the cotton pads taken up as a package into a conveying cartridge.
  • the pairs of chambers are to be coupled alternately with the outlet of the punching machine and, respectively, in a transfer station with the respective conveying cartridge.
  • a drawback of the known handling arrangement again resides in that the actual punching operation only takes place with a web moved stepwise.
  • the drawbacks mentioned above apply here, too.
  • US-A-1 960 667 discloses an apparatus for the manufacture and stacking of layered cellulose products by the cellulose products being cut from a continuous web and by the cellulose products being transferred to a stacking and storing means, comprising:
  • rotary cutter units When a rotary cutter unit is used, there is no longer the stepwise advance of the prior art punching machines which limits the capacity. Furthermore, owing to their structure and operation, rotary cutter units are less susceptible to wear than the prior art punching machines, there being no blunt punching impact between punch and die in the case of cutting rolls. At most, rolling cutting contact takes place between the rotary cutting roll and the opposite roll.
  • the conveyor belt arrangement In coordination with the cellulose products continuously produced, the conveyor belt arrangement then conveys the cellulose products likewise continuously with an intermediate step of conveying. Unproblematic access to the cellulose products conveyed is ensured by the use of a conveyor belt arrangement.
  • FR-A-2 250 630 discloses a device for continuously folding bags, in which the bags are conveyed on a conveyor with a defined number of parallel partial belts, e.g. seven belts. This conveyor is followed by a second conveyor with a smaller number of partial belts, e.g. three belts, to provide for the possibility to fold the bags around the narrower part at the second conveyor.
  • the conveyor belt arrangement has two conveyor belts following each other and passing into each other.
  • the first conveyor belt is contiguous to a rotary cutter unit and comprises three partial belts running side by side at a distance.
  • the second conveyor belt comprises two partial belts running side by side at a distance and which, in an overlap portion, run in the spaced gap of the partial belts of the first conveyor belt for the transfer of the cellulose products from the first to the second conveyor belt.
  • the width of the two partial belts of the second conveyor belt is less than the width of the central partial belt of the three partial belts of the first conveyor belt.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 Reference is made to Figs. 1 and 2 for the explanation of the rough structure of an apparatus according to the invention for the manufacture and stacking of cotton pads 1.
  • the apparatus is split up into a rotary cutter unit 2, a conveyor belt arrangement 3 and two transfer stations 4, 4'.
  • the mentioned components are mounted on a frame-type machine table designated in its entirety by 5 and not needing further explanation.
  • the rotary cutter unit 2 serves for the continuous, serial cutting of cotton pads 1 from a continuous web 6 of appropriate cellucotton.
  • the continous web is fed from a storage roll (not shown) via corresponding guiding and compensating rolls, as is usual prior art.
  • the rotary cutter unit 2 substantially consists of a lower rotary cutting roll 7 and an opposite roll 8 cooperating with the latter. Round cutting edges 9 are formed on the rotary cutting roll distributed over the length of the roll sleeve and its circumference, having the interlocked and staggered configuration shown on the left of Fig. 2.
  • the rotary cutting roll and the opposite roll 7, 8 are set to each other in such a way that clear cutting of cottom pads 1 from the continuous web 6 takes place, with, however, the wear of the cutting edges being minimal.
  • Cutting edge angles of approximately 15° are usual, the distance between the cutting edge 9 and the opposite roll 8 being 0.015 mm. This is conventional technology known from the manufacture of sanitary towels, diapers and the like.
  • the rotary cutting roll 7 is provided with a vacuum fixing device which retains the cut cotton pads 1 on the rotary cutting roll 7 during the transfer between the place of cutting - i.e. the roll slit 11 - and the place of deposition on the conveyor belt arrangement 3.
  • a vacuum fixing device which retains the cut cotton pads 1 on the rotary cutting roll 7 during the transfer between the place of cutting - i.e. the roll slit 11 - and the place of deposition on the conveyor belt arrangement 3.
  • openings are provided in the sleeve of the rotary cutting roll 7 within the closed cutting edges 9; the openings are in connection with a vacuum source. In this way the cotton pads 1 are sucked up and held in place.
  • the conveyor belt arrangement extends in the conveying direction F tangentially to the lowest point of the rotary cutting roll 7 and comprises two conveyor belts 12, 13 which pass into each other and follow each other in this direction.
  • the overlapped portion between these two conveyor belts is designated by 14.
  • the in each case first conveyor belt 12 for each row 15 of cotton pads 1 is formed by three partial belts 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 running side by side at a distance.
  • Each of the successively produced cotton pads 1 is deposited by the rotary cutting roll 7 on these partial belts 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 by the mentioned vacuum openings, when passing the conveyor belt arrangement 3, being shortly actuated by overpressure within the closed cutting edges 9 so that the cotton pads 1 are virtually "blown off'.
  • the conveyor belts 12, 13 are provided with a vacuum fixing device, which will be described in detail below, so that the cotton pads 1 are reliably held thereon and conveyed in a smooth, troublefree condition.
  • the conveyor belts 13 which follow the conveyor belts 12 consist of two partial belts 25.1, 25.2, these partial belts 25.1, 25.2, in the overlapped portion 14, running in the spaced gap 26.1, 26.2 between the associated partial belts 16.1 and 16.2 and 16.2 and 16.3, respectively, of the conveyor belts 12.
  • the width b of the two partial belts 25.1, 25.2 is less than the width B of the central partial belt 16.2 of the three partial belts 16.1, 16.2, 16.3 of the first conveyor belts 13.
  • the distance a of the two outer edges 27 turned away from each other is selected to be clearly smaller than the diameter of the cotton pads 1. If, for instance, this distance a amounts to 70 to 75 % of the diameter D of the cotton pads, edge portions remain, which clearly stand out beyond the outer edges 27 and which are of importance for the handling of the cotton pads 1 in their course through the apparatus according to the invention.
  • the partial belts 25.1, 25.2 - as well as the partial belts 16.1, 16.2, 16.3, which is however not shown in the drawing - are provided with openings 28 extending centrally and following each other in the conveying direction F and run on guide rails 29 into which the vacuum passages 30 are integrated.
  • the latter communicate with the openings 28 on the one hand and are joined to a vacuum source on the other so that the cotton pads 1 are reliably and smoothly held on the partial belts 25, 16 by means of this vacuum holding device.
  • the conveyor belts consisting of the partial belts 25 are likewise guided via deflection pulleys 31, 33, and in the vicinity of their lower strand 33 they are guided via a compensating pulley 34 and a drive pulley 35, as seen in Fig. 1.
  • the deflection pulley 31 located in the overlapped portion 14 consists of individual disks, between which the respective lower strand 19 of the first conveyor belts 12 is guided.
  • connectors 36 disposed on the guide rails 29 are roughly outlined in Fig. 1, which are connected to a vacuum source (not shown in detail) via pressure hoses.
  • the second transfer station 4' is identical with the first.
  • storage cartridges 37 are moved by a transporting equipment 38 at an acute angle W relative to the conveying direction F over the rows 15 of cotton pads 1 approaching on the conveyor belt arrangement 3 in such a way that in each case a storage pipe 39 aligns in the vertical direction with the cotton pad 1 approaching in a row 15.
  • the angle W corresponds to the angle taken by a continuous oblique row 40 by reason of the staggering V within the row 15.
  • One of the storage pipes is shown in Figs. 1, 5 and 6.
  • lifting tappets 41 are located under the conveyor belts 13, of which only one is shown in Figs. 1, 4, 5 and 6 for reason of clarity.
  • the lifting tappets 41 are lodged in a corresponding guide 43 on the machine table 5 displaceably in the vertical direction.
  • Drive takes place by way of a connecting rod 44, which is connected via eccentric levers 45 with a crank drive 46.
  • the crank drive 46 is mechanically connected with the drive motor 48 of the rotary cutting roll 7 by way of an appropriate linkage 47.
  • the coupling ensures a defined adjustable clock frequency of the lifting tappet 41 so that a lifting motion of the lifting tappet 41 is attained that is synchronous with the arriving cotton pads.
  • each lifting tappet 41 has three lifting props 49.1, 49.2 and 49.3 lying side by side at right angles to the conveying direction.
  • the central lifting prop 49.1 is in the form of a flat cuboid, moving upward between the two partial belts 25.1, 25.2 of the conveyor belts 13, whereas the two lateral lifting props 49.2 and 49.3, which, in a horizontal section, are in the form of a flat segment of a circle, move upward laterally beyond these partial belts.
  • each storage pipe 39 For the cotton pads 1 inserted from below into the respective storage pipe 39 not to fall out downward when the lifting tappet 41 is withdrawn, the lower edge 50 of each storage pipe 39 has a collar 51 directed inward and leaving an opening that is slightly smaller as compared to the surface of the cotton pads 1. The lightweight cotton pads rest on this collar.
  • a stop 52 is provided directly behind each lifting tappet 41 in the conveying direction; it corresponds to the contour of the cotton pads 1 and is formed by three bent ribs 53.1, 53.2 and 53.3.
  • these ribs 53 are contiguous to the respective props 49 of the lifting tappet 41, but in the active position shown in Fig. 4, they project upward over the conveyor belts 13.
  • the ribs 53 form in common a contour in the shape of the arc of a circle, the interior radius of which corresponds to the exterior radius of the cotton pads 1. Consequently, the approaching cotton pads 1 are at least slightly decelerated when contacting the stop 52 and the lifting tappet 41 lifts the cotton pads 1 upward in a clearly defined position. This provides for integrity stacking of the cotton pads 1 within the storage pipe 29.
  • ribs 53 of the stop 52 reside in a multipart foot 54 which is mounted on a vertically displaceable actuating rod 55.
  • the latter is displaceable upward or downward by way of a drive lever 56 so that the stop 52 can be moved from the elevated position seen in Fig. 4 downward below the upper strand 57 of the conveyor belts 13.
  • the fulcrum of the eccentric lever 45 can be lowered downward by means of an adjusting mechanism 58 so that the connecting rod 44 together with the lifting tappet 41 is displaced downward.
  • the oscillatory motion of the lifting tappet 41 takes place in a portion where the lifting props 49 no longer project over the conveyor belts 13 and no longer reach into the corresponding storage pipe 39.
  • arriving cotton pads may approach the second transfer station 4', uninfluenced by the first transfer station 4, which is the case when the storage pipes 39 of the storage cartridges 37 in the first transfer station 4 are filled with a desired number of cotton pads 1 for a packing unit.
  • this storage cartridge 37 is discharged via the transporting equipment 38 and another storage cartridge 37 is positioned in the transfer station 4. During this time, a storage cartridge 37 is filled in the second transfer station 4.
  • the transporting equipment 38 for the storage cartridges 37 comprises upper and lower guiding and holding devices 59, 60.
  • a guiding plate 61 is mounted on the lower guiding and holding device 60, preventing the cotton pads 1 from turning up in the vicinity of the transfer stations 4, 4'.
  • each storage pipe 39 in the transfer stations 4, 4' is closable to be comparatively pressure-sealed by means of a cover 62 that can be slipped on from above. Placing the cover 62 takes place by an independent piston-cylinder drive 63 on the upper guiding and holding device 59.
  • Each cover 62 has a cover plate 64 which is connected with the piston rod 65 of the piston-cylinder drive 63. By means of an annular seal 66, the cover plate 64 rests on the upper edge of the storage pipe 39.
  • a cylindrical displacer 68 which, in the closed position seen in Fig. 4, projects into the storage pipe 39 by a length which corresponds about to one third of the entire length of the storage pipe 39.
  • rotary cutting is accompanied with substantially less noise than punching with a chamfered punch hitting on a 90° die edge.
  • the lifetime of a rotary cutting tool exceeds by far that of a punching tool, there being - as mentioned at the outset - no blunt impact of the cutting edges on the opposite roll in the case of rotary cutting.
