Definitions
- the present invention relates to a rotary press for reporting patterns on a strip substrate, comprising means for longitudinally driving said substrate at a predetermined speed band, means for feeding at least one support strip of the material of said patterns, means for transferring said patterns, from said carrier strip at predetermined locations of said strip substrate, means for driving said carrier strip through said transfer means intermittently at said determined speed of the strip substrate.
- the support strip of the material to be transferred and the strip substrate have two parallel longitudinal paths to allow the transfer means to press them against each other with an appropriate pressure, temperature and time so that the transfer of the image can be realized.
- the feed means of the support strip are necessarily superimposed on the strip substrate which is to pass through several successive workstations situated along an installation that can reach more than ten meters long, so that the supply of the support strip must be above the workstations, which makes the work of loading the support tape replacement coils relatively difficult and painful.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
- the present invention relates to a rotary press for reporting patterns on a web substrate of the aforementioned type, as defined in claim 1.
- the feed station may have several units that can be superimposed while remaining accessible from the ground for easy recharging. Such an arrangement saves the area occupied while multiplying the number of patterns reported.
- This arrangement also favors the possibility of an automatic connection without stopping the production, allowing for this purpose the incorporation of a support tape accumulator which can be filled as the support tape feed reel becomes empty. This reserve of support tape can thus be used during the joining operation between the end of a support band and the beginning of the next band.
- the rotary press illustrated by the Figures 1 to 3 is a rotary press which is more particularly, although not exclusively intended to be inserted into a print line on a web substrate.
- This line In particular, a printing line may be a line for printing, cutting and ribbing cardboard articles, in particular a line for making blanks of cardboard boxes which are subsequently used to form the boxes by folding along the ribs. arranged at the places of folding.
- This rotary press is thus arranged in the longitudinal direction of travel of a strip substrate 1 which moves in the direction indicated by the arrow F ( figure 3 ) and which is driven and guided along a path determined by a series of driving and guiding cylinders 100 ( figure 2 ), not only through the rotary press, but all along the printing line.
- This band substrate 1 is fed between two cylinders 2, 3 ( figure 2 ) of a transfer mechanism, arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the strip substrate 1 and whose role will be explained later.
- a support strip 4 There may be several support strips 4 carrying similar films or materials and / or different colors, depending on the color of the patterns to be deposited on the strip substrate 1.
- These support strips 4 consist of laminates generally comprising a polyester strip, a wax separation layer, a color varnish formed by a resin, an aluminum layer and finally an adhesive layer.
- support strips 4 are stored in the form of supply coils 5, respectively and alternately of reserve, arranged in one or more superimposed feed units 6, 6a, 6b ( figure 1 ) which in this example can be up to three. As shown by figures 1 and 3 , the support strips 4 emerging from the supply coils 5 arrive laterally towards the strip substrate 1.
- three support strips 4, 4a, 4b are thus perpendicularly directed towards the strip substrate 1.
- Three guides 7, 7a, 7b are constituted by bars arranged on the bisector of the angle formed between the 45 ° strands of the support strips 4, 4a, 4b located upstream of the guides 7, 7a, 7b and the strands disposed downstream of these guides. The direction of these last strands is parallel to the direction of the strip substrate 1.
- these support strips 4, 4a, 4b are directed from the guides 7, 7a, 7b in the opposite direction to that of the strip substrate 1.
- One or more transverse drive rollers 8 serve to rotate again these support strips 4, 4a, 4b of 180 ° to bring them in the direction F of displacement of the substrate in strip 1.
- These rollers 8, associated with pressure rollers 8a, constitute drive devices of the support strips 4, 4a, 4b at constant speed.
- Each transverse roller 8 may have a speed different from that of the other transverse roller, depending on the material consumption to be deposited from each support strip 4, 4a, 4b, which may vary depending on the size and the spacing of the patterns. respectively.
- a series of intermittent driving devices 9 ( figures 2 and 4 ) is arranged downstream of the transverse drive rollers 8.
- Each intermittent drive device 9 comprises as illustrated by the figure 4 a drive roller 10 rotating at a modulated speed, around which the support band 4, 4a, 4b rotates 180 °, and a counter roll 11 secured to a rocker 12 in mesh with a cross member 13 actuated by two cylinders 14. Next the position of the rocker 12, the support band 4, 4a, 4b is pressed between the drive roller 10 and the counter roller 11, so that it is driven at the speed of the drive roller 10.
- each support strip 4, 4a, 4b is intended for the transfer of a specific pattern whose size and position on the strip substrate 1 differs from those of another pattern, each support strip 4, 4a, 4b must be driven at different times from another support band. This is the reason why several intermittent drive devices are provided, there being for example six in the illustrated embodiment, but this number may vary more or less depending on the particular applications. .
- An accumulation device 15 is arranged between the transverse drive rollers 8, driving the support strips 4, 4a, 4b continuously and the intermittent drive devices 9, to allow absorbing the lengths of support strips 4, 4a, 4b emerging from the transverse roller or rollers 8 for continuous driving of these support strips, while these are not driven by the intermittent drive devices 9.
- This accumulation device comprises an accumulation chamber 16 having at the front an inlet 17 for receiving the support strips 4 4a, 4b downstream of the drive rollers 8 and an outlet 18 for bringing these support strips around the rollers. respective drive.
- the rear of this accumulation chamber 16 is connected to a suction source 19 intended to create a depression to form with the support strips 4, 4a, 4b loops of varying length inside the chamber of accumulation 16 during the stopping of the drive of the intermittent drive devices.
- two detectors 20, 20a serve to detect respectively the maximum loop and the minimum loop formed by the support strip.
- detectors 20, 20a allow, when starting a new series of impressions to be performed on the rotary press, to adjust the constant speed of the transverse feed rollers 8, so that the loop formed by each support band 4, 4a, 4b does not exceed both limits.
- the theoretical constant speed of the roller 8 set using the detectors 20, 20a it is increased slightly by a programmed setpoint.
- the intermittent loops formed by the bands 4, 4a, 4b will therefore tend to grow.
- the detectors 20 receive a signal, they control a brief lifting of the corresponding press 8a, which has the effect of slightly reducing the flow and thus shorten the incriminated loop.
- all the upstream return rollers are subdivided into several adjacent portions, so as not to bind the strips 4, 4a, 4b therebetween.
- each feed unit 6, 6a, 6b comprises a rectangular coil support 21, pivotally mounted about a central axis 22.
- Each coil carrier 21 has two pivoting seats 23, 23a for receiving pivot shafts (30). , 30a) supply coils 5, alternatively reserve 5a, support strips 4, 4a, 4b.
- These seats 23, 23a respectively open on two opposite sides of the rectangular support of coils 21, as seen on the figure 1 .
- Each pivoting seat 23, 23a is associated with a lever locking 24, 24a to retain the pivot axes of the coils 5 and 5a when the pivot seat 23, 23a opens downwards.
- each coil support 21 is associated with a motor 25 ( figure 3 ) to rotate in 180 ° steps to replace an empty supply coil with a spare coil 5a.
- Each pivoting seat 23, 23a is again associated with a support 26, 26a for the joining of the support strips 4, 4a, 4b.
- Guides 27, constituted by rollers at the four corners of the rectangular support of coils 21, serve to engage the support strip 4, 4a, 4b during feeding, to pass it to the periphery of the coil support 21 during the rotation of this coil support 21, at the moment when a supply coil 5 has to be replaced by a reserve coil 5a.
- each half of the coil support 21 in the longitudinal direction of the rectangle formed by this support 21 has a symmetry with respect to the central pivot axis 22 of the support 21, so that by turning it 180 °, each half of the support 21 replaces the other half of the support 21.
- a connecting member 29 is further provided to make the junction between the end of a coil 5 and the beginning of the next.
- FIGs 5 to 8 illustrate the different phases of the joining process of the support strips 4, 4a, 4b using simplified diagrams.
- the figure 5 shows the end of a coil 5.
- the figure 6 shows the support of coils 21 following its rotation of 180 ° in the opposite direction to that of clockwise. It can be seen that, during this rotation, the support strip 4 is guided by two of the return rollers 27. The front end of the new reserve coil 5a is ready for the joining operation.
- the connecting member 29 has come to press the two support strips 4, 4a, 4b to be joined against the support 26a to glue them to one another. During this paste operation, the support strips 4, 4a, 4b are momentarily immobilized. It is then that the strip material accumulated in the reserve device 28 empties to allow the transverse feed rollers 8 to continuously supply the rotary press in support strips 4, 4a, 4b of the material to be reported on the substrate. in band 1.
- Cutting means (not shown), which may be associated with the joining member 29, then cut the rest of the support band of the empty spool 5 and the joining member 29 returns to its inactive position as illustrated by FIG. figure 8 , so that the new supply coil which previously constituted the reserve coil 5a begins to feed the rotary press.
- the spare device 28 fills up again for the next coil change. In the meantime, it will be necessary to replace the empty coil 5 with a new spare coil 5a full.
- the activation / deactivation of the pressers 50a can be done directly by controlling the loops in the accumulation device 15a, or else by calculating a regular basic cycle and by superimposing any corrections from the monitoring of the individual loops in the accumulation device 15a. the accumulation device 15a.
- Another solution provided is to install an additional group 50, 50a, which would then adopt a specific average speed.
- the figure 9 represents a variant embodiment of a band-speed modulation device by replacing the elements 8, 15, and 10, 11 of the figure 4 .
- a second embodiment for example to create a compact stamping unit in the form of insert.
- the aim is to create a speed modulation for at least one metallized strip 44.
- This passes a first roller 40, linked to a suitable motor with a vacuum supply 41 and unmounted means but known to bring the vacuum to the periphery of the cylinder, selectively between the generators A and E through B.
- the strip 44 is driven at a continuous speed vc by the roller 40, whose rotation speed wc is constant and chosen according to the average consumption required.
- the band 44 passes through the generators A, a point between B and B ', a point between C and C', D, and leaves the device with a speed vi.
- the roll 43 is constructed as the roll 40, the only difference being that for wi the rotation speed is modulated to obtain a strip economy as described in the text referring to figures 2 , 4 .
- the average flow rate induced by the intermittent rotation wi of the roll 42 is identical to the flow rate given by the roll 40. It is easily understood that the path BC is only true at one point in the cycle. Separation points B and C junction walk on the surfaces according to the profile of wi. We take advantage of the extremely low mass of the band 44 to thereby create a trajectory and vel modulation vi perfectly controlled through the cycles.
- the speed wc can be influenced by a trajectory control between the rollers 40, 42. If the points B and C tend to descend, this can be intercepted by a means of the kind photocell (not shown) which will slightly increase the speed wc . And the opposite can be obtained by analogous means placed above B, C. In this way, the software is free to superimpose position corrections roller 42 for the installation of holograms for example. Special modulation can also be supported, which can be very useful for passing a band 44 out of the meshing of a snapshot, for example.
Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne une presse rotative pour rapporter des motifs sur un substrat en bande, comprenant des moyens pour entraîner longitudinalement ce substrat en bande à vitesse déterminée, des moyens d'alimentation d'au moins une bande support du matériau desdits motifs, des moyens de transfert desdits motifs, de ladite bande support en des emplacements déterminés dudit substrat en bande, des moyens pour entraîner ladite bande support à travers lesdits moyens de transfert de façon intermittente à ladite vitesse déterminée du substrat en bande.The present invention relates to a rotary press for reporting patterns on a strip substrate, comprising means for longitudinally driving said substrate at a predetermined speed band, means for feeding at least one support strip of the material of said patterns, means for transferring said patterns, from said carrier strip at predetermined locations of said strip substrate, means for driving said carrier strip through said transfer means intermittently at said determined speed of the strip substrate.
On a déjà proposé dans le brevet
Dans un tel dispositif, la bande support du matériau à transférer et le substrat en bande ont deux trajectoires longitudinales parallèles pour permettre aux moyens de transfert de les presser l'une contre l'autre avec une pression, une température et un temps appropriés pour que le transfert de l'image puisse être réalisé. De ce fait les moyens d'alimentation de la bande support sont obligatoirement superposés au substrat en bande qui est appelé à passer au travers de plusieurs postes de travail successifs situés le long d'une installation qui peut atteindre plus de dix mètres de long, en sorte que l'alimentation de la bande support doit être au-dessus des postes de travail, ce qui rend le travail de chargement des bobines de remplacement de bandes support relativement difficile et pénible.In such a device, the support strip of the material to be transferred and the strip substrate have two parallel longitudinal paths to allow the transfer means to press them against each other with an appropriate pressure, temperature and time so that the transfer of the image can be realized. As a result, the feed means of the support strip are necessarily superimposed on the strip substrate which is to pass through several successive workstations situated along an installation that can reach more than ten meters long, so that the supply of the support strip must be above the workstations, which makes the work of loading the support tape replacement coils relatively difficult and painful.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier, au moins en partie, aux inconvénients susmentionnés.The object of the present invention is to overcome, at least in part, the aforementioned drawbacks.
A cet effet, la présente invention a pour objet une presse rotative pour rapporter des motifs sur un substrat en bande du type susmentionné, tel que défini dans la revendication 1.For this purpose, the present invention relates to a rotary press for reporting patterns on a web substrate of the aforementioned type, as defined in
L'accès au poste d'alimentation en bandes support de matériau à déposer sur le substrat en bande est aisé. Compte tenu de la position latérale de ce poste d'alimentation par rapport au substrat en bande, le poste d'alimentation peut comporter plusieurs unités qui peuvent être superposées tout en restant accessibles depuis le sol pour les recharger aisément. Une telle disposition permet d'économiser la surface occupée tout en multipliant le nombre de motifs rapportés.Access to the feed station strips material support to be deposited on the web substrate is easy. Given the lateral position of this feed station relative to the web substrate, the feed station may have several units that can be superimposed while remaining accessible from the ground for easy recharging. Such an arrangement saves the area occupied while multiplying the number of patterns reported.
Cette disposition favorise également la possibilité d'un raccord automatique sans arrêt de la production, permettant à cet effet l'incorporation d'un accumulateur de bande support qui peut se remplir au fur et à mesure que la bobine d'alimentation en bande support se vide. Cette réserve de bande support peut ainsi être utilisée pendant l'opération de jonction entre la fin d'une bande support et le début de la bande suivante.This arrangement also favors the possibility of an automatic connection without stopping the production, allowing for this purpose the incorporation of a support tape accumulator which can be filled as the support tape feed reel becomes empty. This reserve of support tape can thus be used during the joining operation between the end of a support band and the beginning of the next band.
D'autres particularités apparaîtront au cours de la description qui va suivre, faite à l'aide des dessins annexés qui illustrent, schématiquement et à titre d'exemple, une forme d'exécution de la presse rotative pour rapporter des motifs sur un substrat en bande, objet de la présente invention.Other features will become apparent from the following description, made with the aid of the accompanying drawings which illustrate, schematically and by way of example, an embodiment of the rotary press to report patterns on a substrate. band, object of the present invention.

La presse rotative illustrée par les
Cette presse rotative est donc disposée dans le sens de défilement longitudinal d'un substrat en bande 1 qui se déplace dans le sens indiqué par la flèche F (
La matière des motifs à déposer en des endroits déterminés du substrat en bande 1, qui peut être notamment un film métallique, est solidaire d'une bande support 4. Il peut y avoir plusieurs bandes support 4 portant des films semblables ou de matières et/ou de couleurs différentes, suivant la couleur des motifs à déposer sur le substrat en bande 1. Ces bandes support 4 sont constituées par des stratifiés comprenant généralement une bande polyester, une couche de séparation en cire, un vernis de couleur formé par une résine, une couche d'aluminium et enfin une couche adhésive.The material of the patterns to be deposited at predetermined locations of the
Ces bandes support 4 sont stockées sous forme de bobines d'alimentation 5, respectivement et alternativement de réserve, disposées dans une ou plusieurs unités d'alimentation superposées 6, 6a, 6b (
Comme le montre la
Dans l'exemple illustré, ces bandes support 4, 4a, 4b se dirigent depuis les guides 7, 7a, 7b en sens inverse de celui du substrat en bande 1. Un ou plusieurs rouleaux d'entraînement transversaux 8 servent à faire tourner à nouveau ces bandes support 4, 4a, 4b de 180° pour les ramener dans le sens F de déplacement du substrat en bande 1. Ces rouleaux 8, associés à des rouleaux presseurs 8a, constituent des dispositifs d'entraînement des bandes support 4, 4a, 4b à vitesse constante. Chaque rouleau transversal 8 peut avoir une vitesse différente de celle de l'autre rouleau transversal, suivant la consommation de matière à déposer de chaque bande support 4, 4a, 4b, qui peut varier en fonction de la grandeur et de l'espacement des motifs respectifs.In the illustrated example, these
Une série de dispositifs d'entraînement intermittent 9 (
Un dispositif d'accumulation 15 est disposé entre les rouleaux d'entraînement transversaux 8, entraînant les bandes support 4, 4a, 4b en continu et les dispositifs d'entraînement intermittent 9, pour permettre d'absorber les longueurs de bandes support 4, 4a, 4b sortant du ou des rouleaux transversaux 8 d'entraînement en continu de ces bandes support, pendant que celles-ci ne sont pas entraînées par les dispositifs d'entraînement intermittent 9.An
Ce dispositif d'accumulation comporte une chambre d'accumulation 16 présentant à l'avant une entrée 17 pour recevoir les bandes support 4 4a, 4b en aval des rouleaux d'entraînement 8 et une sortie 18 pour amener ces bandes support autour des rouleaux d'entraînement 10 respectifs. L'arrière de cette chambre d'accumulation 16 est relié à une source d'aspiration 19 destinée à créer une dépression pour former avec les bandes support 4, 4a, 4b des boucles plus ou moins longues à l'intérieur de la chambre d'accumulation 16 pendant l'arrêt de l'entraînement des dispositifs d'entraînement intermittent. Par boucle, deux détecteurs 20, 20a servent à détecter respectivement la boucle maximale et la boucle minimale formée par la bande support. Ces détecteurs 20, 20a permettent, lors de la mise en route d'une nouvelle série d'impressions à effectuer sur la presse rotative, de régler la vitesse constante des rouleaux d'alimentation transversaux 8, de manière à ce que la boucle formée par chaque bande support 4, 4a, 4b ne dépasse pas les deux limites. Une fois la vitesse constante théorique du rouleau 8 réglée à l'aide des détecteurs 20, 20a, on la majore légèrement par une consigne programmée. Les boucles intermittentes formées par les bandes 4, 4a, 4b auront donc tendance à grandir. Lorsque les détecteurs 20 reçoivent un signal, ils commandent un bref soulèvement du presseur 8a correspondant, ce qui a pour effet de réduire légèrement le débit et donc de raccourcir la boucle incriminée. Pour améliorer l'effet du système, tous les rouleaux de renvoi en amont sont subdivisés en plusieurs portions adjacentes, de sorte à ne pas lier les bandes 4, 4a, 4b entre elles.This accumulation device comprises an
Comme on le voit sur les

Comme on peut le constater, chaque moitié du support de bobines 21 dans le sens longitudinal du rectangle formé par ce support 21 présente une symétrie par rapport à l'axe de pivotement central 22 de ce support 21, de sorte qu'en le tournant de 180°, chaque moitié du support 21 se substitue à l'autre moitié de ce support 21. Un organe de jonction 29 est encore prévu pour effectuer la jonction entre la fin d'une bobine 5 et le début de la suivante.As can be seen, each half of the
Avant de décrire le fonctionnement du système de jonction, il faut encore mentionner la présence, dans chaque unité d'alimentation, d'un dispositif de réserve 28 de bandes support 4, 4a, 4b disposé entre le support de bobines rectangulaire 21 et les rouleaux d'entraînement transversaux 8, pour permettre de poursuivre l'alimentation de ces bandes support 4 pendant la jonction des bandes, durant laquelle l'alimentation de la bande support 4, 4a, 4b est interrompue pour permettre de la raccorder à la bande support de la bobine 5 de remplacement.Before describing the operation of the joining system, mention should also be made of the presence, in each supply unit, of a
