Eine ähnliche Tablettiermaschine ist aus EP 0 460 295 A1 bekannt geworden.A similar tabletting machine has become known from EP 0 460 295 A1.

Bei der bekannten Tablettiermaschine nach EP 0 288 798 werden oberer und unterer Kurventrägerring jeweils für sich daran gehindert, der Drehbewegung der Matrizenscheibe zu folgen. Normalerweise wird bei herkömmlichen Tablettiermaschinen der obere Kurventrägerring am Maschinenoberteil gegen Verdrehung gesichert, und der untere Kurventrägerring ist an der Nabe des Maschinenmittelteils befestigt. Weitere Bauteile, die für den Betrieb einer Tablettiermaschine erforderlich sind, wie zum Beispiel ein Tablettenablauf, ein oberer Abstreifer, eine Aussortiervorrichtung usw. sind am Maschinengehäuse befestigt und müssen ebenfalls entfernt werden, bevor das Matrizenscheibenpaket zu Produktwechsel- oder Reinigungszwecken entnommen werden kann. Die Versorgungs- und Steuerleitungen, die mit diesen Komponenten verbunden sind, werden frei zu diesen hingeführt.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Rundlauf-Tablettiermaschine ist mit jedem Kurventrägerring seitlich mindestens ein Arm verbunden, wobei die seitlichen Arme vorzugsweise in einer vertikalen Ebene zueinander ausgerichtet sind, wenn das Matrizenscheibenpaket eingebaut ist. Die seitlichen Arme sind starr mit einem steifen oder starren im wesentlichen vertikalen Verbindungsabschnitt verbunden, der seinerseits über das Gehäuse oder das Gestell der Presse gegen Drehung gesichert ist. Das aus Verbindungsabschnitt und Armen gebildete vorzugsweise U-förmige Bauteil dient in erster Linie als Drehmomentstütze, d.h. sichert die Kurventrägerringe gegen eine Drehung relativ zum Gehäuse. Außerdem wird ein solches Bauteil erreicht, daß die Kurventrägerringe automatisch mitgenommen werden, wenn das Matrizenscheibenpaket von der Antriebswelle angehoben bzw. entfernt wird. Eine axiale und/oder radiale Lagerung der Kurventrägerringe kann gegenüber den Aufnahmeabschnitten der Matrizenscheibe stattfinden, wobei der untere Kurventrägerring sich axial auch an der Antriebswelle abstützen kann. Dies ist jedoch nicht erforderlich, vielmehr kann sich der untere Kurventrägerring axial auch über den zugeordneten Arm und den Verbindungsabschnitt am oberen Kurventrägerring abstützen.In the rotary tablet tableting machine according to the invention, there is a cam carrier ring with each connected laterally at least one arm, wherein the lateral arms preferably are aligned in a vertical plane to each other when the Matrizenscheibenpaket is installed. The lateral arms are rigid with a stiff or rigid in the connected to the essential vertical connecting portion, in turn, over the Housing or the frame of the press is secured against rotation. The from connection section and formed preferably Armen U-shaped member serves in the first Line as a torque arm, i. secures the cam carrier rings against rotation relative to the housing. In addition, such a component is achieved that the curve bearing rings be automatically taken when the die plate package of the drive shaft is raised or removed. An axial and / or radial bearing the cam carrier rings can be opposite the receiving sections of the die plate take place, wherein the lower cam carrier ring axially on the Can support drive shaft. However, this is not required, rather it can be the lower cam carrier ring axially over the associated arm and the connecting portion Support at the upper cam carrier ring.

Der Verbindungsabschnitt der erfindungsgemäßen Tablettiermaschine ist lösbar mit dem Gehäuse koppelbar. Vorzugsweise ist eine Art Steckkupplung vorgesehen mit einem Steckkupplungsabschnitt am Verbindungsabschnitt und einem komplementären Kupplungsabschnitt am Gehäuse, so daß beim Aufsetzen des Matrizenscheibenpaketes automatisch ein Verbinden der Kupplungsteile stattfindet und damit die Drehsicherung der Kurventrägerringe.The connecting portion of the tabletting machine according to the invention is detachable with coupled to the housing. Preferably, a kind of plug-in coupling is provided with a plug-in coupling portion at the connecting portion and a complementary Coupling section on the housing, so that when placing the Matrizenscheibenpaketes automatically a connection of the coupling parts takes place and thus the rotation lock the curve bearing rings.

Auf die beschriebene Art und Weise wird das Matrizenscheibenpaket zu einer kompakten Einheit, die sich noch einfacher ein- und ausbauen läßt als bei der herkömmlichen Tablettiermaschine.In the manner described, the Matrizenscheibenpaket is a compact Unit that is even easier to install and remove than the conventional one Tableting machine.

Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung der Tablettiermaschine hat den weiteren Vorteil, daß zusätzliche, peripher angeordnete Komponenten oder Aggregate, die zum Betrieb erforderlich sind, wie Tablettenabstreifer, Tablettenablauf, Aussortiervorrichtung usw., nun am Verbindungsabschnitt angebracht werden können. Die Verbindung dieser Komponenten mit dem Verbindungsabschnitt kann stets aufrechterhalten werden, wenn das Matrizenscheibenpaket gelöst und entfernt wird. Automatisch werden die obigen Teile über den Verbindungsabschnitt mit entfernt. Ein zeitaufwendiges umständliches Lösen dieser Komponenten oder Aggregate von dem Maschinengehäuse vor dem Entfernen des Matrizenscheibenpakets kann daher in Fortfall kommen.The inventive embodiment of the tableting machine has the further advantage that additional peripherally arranged components or aggregates intended for operation are required, such as tablet scraper, tablet drain, sorting device etc., can now be attached to the connecting section. The connection these components with the connection section can always be maintained when the die disc package is loosened and removed. Be automatic the above parts on the connecting portion with removed. A time consuming cumbersome release of these components or aggregates of the machine housing Therefore, before removing the Matrizenscheibenpakets can be omitted.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Ausbildung des Verbindungsabschnitts als Halterung bzw. Führung von Versorgungs- und Steuerleitungen für die peripheren Komponenten, zum Beispiel für die Versorgung mit Luft, Strom und Schmieröl. Zu diesem Zweck kann die Kupplung, über die der Verbindungsabschnitt mit dem Maschinengehäuse verbunden ist, eine Vielzahl von Kupplungsteilen, vorzugsweise Steckkupplungsteilen, aufweisen, die mit komplementären Kupplungsteilen am Verbindungsabschnitt zusammenwirken, wenn der Verbindungsabschnitt mit dem Maschinengehäuse gekuppelt wird. Mit den Steckkupplungsteilen im Verbindungsabschnitt sind dann die zu den Komponenten führenden Leitungen verbunden.Particularly advantageous is the formation of the connecting portion as a holder or management of supply and control lines for the peripheral components, for example, for the supply of air, electricity and lubricating oil. To this Purpose may be the coupling, via which the connecting portion with the machine housing is connected, a plurality of coupling parts, preferably plug-in coupling parts, having, with complementary coupling parts at the connecting portion interact when the connecting portion with the machine housing is coupled. With the plug-in coupling parts in the connecting section are then connected to the components leading lines.

Fig. 2
shows a similar embodiment as FIG. 1.

Eine Matrizenscheibe 10 ist in herkömmlicher Weise ausgeführt und weist entsprechende Matrizenbohrungen 12 auf Mit der Matrizenscheibe 10 sind Aufnahmeabschnitte 14, 16 verbunden, vorzugsweise einteilig mit dieser geformt, wie dies etwa aus EP 0 460 295 bekannt geworden ist. Die Aufnahmeabschnitte 14, 16 nehmen in bekannter Weise Ober- und Unterstempel auf, wobei in Fig. 1 nur die Oberstempel bei 18 angedeutet sind. Die Stempel wirken in bekannter Weise mit den Matrizenbohrungen 12 zusammen. Die Ober- und Unterstempel werden über Kurventrägerringe 20 bzw. 22 gesteuert. Sie liegen oberhalb bzw. unterhalb der Matrizenscheibe und haben entsprechende, nicht zu sehende Steuerflächen, wie dies an sich aus Tablettiermaschinen bzw. Rundläuferpressen bekannt ist. Druckstationen, wie sie für die Ausführung des Preßvorgangs ebenfalls bekannt sind, sind in Fig. 1 nicht dargestellt.A die plate 10 is designed in a conventional manner and has corresponding Die holes 12 on with the die plate 10 are receiving sections 14, 16 connected, preferably integrally formed with this, such as EP 0 460 295 has become known. The receiving sections 14, 16 take in known manner upper and lower punches, in Fig. 1, only the upper punch are indicated at 18. The stamp act in a known manner with the die holes 12 together. The upper and lower stamps are over curve bearing rings 20 or 22 controlled. They are above or below the die plate and have corresponding, unseen control surfaces, as such Tabletting or rotary presses is known. Printing stations, as they are for the execution of the pressing operation are also known, are not shown in Fig. 1.

Man erkennt in Fig. 1 ferner, daß der Aufnahmeabschnitt 14 einen oberen Lagerbund 24 aufweist, der drehbar im Kurventrägerring 20 gelagert ist. Der Kurventrägerring 20 kann sich auch axial auf dem Aufnahmeabschnitt 14 drehbar abstützen, was jedoch nicht zu erkennen ist.It can be seen in Fig. 1 further that the receiving portion 14 has an upper bearing collar 24, which is rotatably mounted in the cam carrier ring 20. The cam carrier ring 20 can also be axially supported rotatably on the receiving portion 14, but what can not be seen.

Mit dem oberen Kurventrägerring 20 ist starr ein Arm 26 verbunden, der radial absteht. Mit dem unteren Kurventrägerring 22 ist ein radial nach außen stehender Arm 28 starr verbunden. In der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Einbaustellung sind die Arme 26, 28 vertikal zueinander ausgerichtet. Die Arme 26, 28 sind starr mit einem Verbindungssteg 30 verbunden. Der Verbindungssteg 30 ist im unteren Teil bei 32 als Steckkupplungsabschnitt ausgebildet, das mit einem komplementären Steckkupplungsabschnitt 34 des im übrigen nicht gezeigten Maschinengehäuses für die Tablettierpresse zusammenwirkt.With the upper cam carrier ring 20, an arm 26 is rigidly connected, which is radial projects. With the lower cam carrier ring 22 is a radially outwardly standing arm 28 rigidly connected. In the installed position shown in Fig. 1, the arms 26, 28th vertically aligned with each other. The arms 26, 28 are rigid with a connecting web 30 connected. The connecting web 30 is in the lower part at 32 as a plug-in coupling portion formed, which with a complementary plug-in coupling portion 34 of the machine housing, not shown otherwise for the tableting press interacts.

Die Matrizenscheibe 10 wird über eine vertikale Antriebswelle 36 angetrieben, die von einem nicht gezeigten Drehantrieb antreibbar und die lösbar mit der Matrizenscheibe 10 kuppelbar ist. Die lösbare Verbindung zwischen Matrizenscheibe 10 und Welle 36 ist nicht dargestellt. Sie kann in der in der EP 0 460 295 gezeigten Art und Weise ausgeführt sein. Die Antriebswelle 36 kann auch über einen radial erweiterten Abschnitt eine axiale Drehlagerung für den unteren Kurventrägerring 22 bilden. Der Kurventrägerring 22 kann jedoch nach unten auch über den Arm 28 und den Verbindungssteg 30 und den Arm 26 am oberen Kurventrägerring 20 abgestützt sein.The die plate 10 is driven by a vertical drive shaft 36, the drivable by a rotary drive, not shown, and releasably connected to the die plate 10 can be coupled. The detachable connection between die plate 10 and Wave 36 is not shown. It can be in the manner shown in EP 0 460 295 and Be executed manner. The drive shaft 36 can also be extended radially Section form an axial pivot bearing for the lower cam carrier ring 22. Of the However, cam carrier ring 22 may also downwardly over the arm 28 and the connecting web 30 and the arm 26 may be supported on the upper cam carrier ring 20.

Im einfachsten Fall dient das U-förmige Bauteil, das aus den Armen 26, 28 und dem Verbindungssteg 30 gebildet ist, ausschließlich als Drehmomentstütze, welche eine Relativdrehung der Kurventrägerringe 20, 22 zueinander verhindert sowie eine Relativdrehung zum nicht gezeigten Maschinengehäuse, während die axiale Last von der Welle 36 aufgenommen wird. Beim Ausbau der Matrizenscheibe 10 werden daher die Kurventrägerringe 20, 22 automatisch über das U-förmige Bauteil mitgenommen, wenn dieses entfernt wird. Ein Lösen dieser Teile vom Gehäuse ist nicht erforderlich, wenn, wie erläutert, zwischen dem Verbindungssteg 30 und dem Gehäuse eine einfache Steckverbindung verwirklicht wird.In the simplest case, the U-shaped component, which consists of the arms 26, 28 and the Connecting web 30 is formed, only as a torque arm, which a Relative rotation of the cam carrier rings 20, 22 prevents each other and a relative rotation to the machine housing, not shown, while the axial load of the Wave 36 is recorded. When removing the die plate 10 are therefore the Cam carrier rings 20, 22 automatically taken over the U-shaped component, if this is removed. A release of these parts from the housing is not required when, as explained, between the connecting web 30 and the housing a simple Plug connection is realized.

Innerhalb der aus den Verbindungs- bzw. Kupplungsabschnitten 32, 34 gebildeten Steckkupplung können Kupplungsteile für Verbindungs- bzw. Versorgungs- bzw. Steuerleitungen für periphere Vorrichtungen vorgesehen werden. Aus dem Maschinengehäuse werden die entsprechenden Leitungen zum gehäusefesten Kupplungsabschnitt 34 geführt, und Leitungen innerhalb des Verbindungsstegs 30 sind mit Kupplungsteilen im Kupplungsabschnitt 32 verbunden, so daß beim Zusammenstecken der Kupplungsabschnitte 32, 34 auch die Leitungen automatisch miteinander verbunden sind (Multikupplung).Within the formed from the connecting or coupling sections 32, 34 Plug-in coupling can coupling parts for connection or supply or Control lines are provided for peripheral devices. From the machine housing the corresponding lines to the housing fixed coupling section 34 guided, and lines within the connecting web 30 are with Coupled parts in the coupling portion 32 connected so that when mating the coupling sections 32, 34 and the lines automatically with each other connected (multi-coupling).

Der Verbindungssteg 30 kann dazu dienen, einzelne Komponenten der Rundläuferpresse zu halten, wie zum Beispiel Tablettenabstreifer, Aussortiervorrichtung, Tablettenablauf und dergleichen mehr. Außerdem kann in dem Verbindungssteg auch eine Vorrichtung zur Schwergängigkeitsmessung der Stempel angeordnet sein. Dadurch ist eine Meßmöglichkeit sowohl für den oberen als auch den unteren Kurventrägerring 20 bzw. 22 gegeben. The connecting web 30 may serve to individual components of the rotary press such as tablet scrapers, sorting device, Tablet drain and the like more. In addition, in the connecting bridge also a device for Schwergängigkeitsmessung the stamp to be arranged. This is a measurement option for both the upper and the lower cam carrier ring 20 or 22 given.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 sind diejenigen Teile, die denen nach Fig. 1 gleichen, mit gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen, denen jedoch ein Index a hinzugefügt ist.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, those parts are the same as those according to FIG. 1 same, provided with the same reference numerals, which, however, added an index a is.

Der Aufbau der schematisch dargestellten Rundläuferpresse entspricht weitgehend dem Aufbau der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1. Man erkennt, daß mit dem oberen Kurventrägerring 20 eine Platte 40 verschraubt ist mit einem Zapfen 42. Mit Hilfe eines Hebezeuges kann die gesamte in Fig. 2 dargestellte Einheit angehoben werden, wenn es am Zapfen 42 angreift.The structure of the rotary press shown schematically corresponds largely the structure of the embodiment of FIG. 1. It can be seen that with the upper Cam carrier ring 20 a plate 40 is screwed with a pin 42. With the help a hoist, the entire unit shown in Fig. 2 can be raised, when it attacks on the pin 42.

In Fig. 2 ist ferner zu erkennen, daß der untere Steckkupplungsabschnitt 34 mit einer Stütze 44 verbunden ist, die maschinenfest ist, d.h. Teil des Gehäuses bzw. des Maschinengestells. Wie ferner erkennbar, ist der obere Arm 26a mit der Oberseite des Kurventrägerrings 20a verschraubt. Der untere Arm 28a ist hingegen seitlich am unteren Kurventrägerring 22a angebracht, beispielsweise ebenfalls durch Verschraubung.In Fig. 2 it can also be seen that the lower plug-in coupling portion 34 with a Support 44 is connected, which is machine-fixed, i. Part of the housing or the Machine frame. As can further be seen, the upper arm 26a is connected to the top of the Cam carrier ring 20a screwed. The lower arm 28a, however, is laterally on lower cam carrier ring 22a attached, for example, also by screwing.

Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 2 sind ferner zwei Druckstationen 46, 48 gezeigt mit einer Druckrolle 50 bzw. 52. Mit Hilfe der Druckrollen 50, 52 werden die unteren Preßstempel angehoben. Die Preßstempel sind in Fig. 2 nicht angedeutet. Auch sind die oberen Druckrollen nicht gezeigt. Hierbei besteht jedoch Übereinstimmung mit herkömmlichen Tablettenpressen. In Fig. 2 ist schließlich auch ein Tablettenablauf angedeutet, der der Oberseite der eigentlichen Matrizenscheibe zugeordnet ist und der mit dem Steg 30a verbunden ist. Diese Verbindung ist jedoch nicht dargestellt.In the embodiment of Fig. 2, two printing stations 46, 48 are further shown with a pressure roller 50 or 52.
