Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für eine Besen-oder Bürsten-Stopfmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Verfahren zum Aufnehmen einer vielzahl von Borsten in einem Aufnahmeraum eines Borstenmagazins gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 15.The invention relates to a device for a broom or brush tamping machine according to the preamble of claim 1. The invention further relates to a method for picking up a plurality of bristles in a receiving space of a bristle magazine according to the preamble of claim 15.

Bei herkömmlichen Stopfmaschinen für Besen oder Bürsten sind die Borsten in dem Borstenmagazin üblicherweise stehend angeordnet. An einer Seite des Borstenmagazins ist eine Austrittsöffnung, an der eine Borstenübertragungsvorrichtung angeordnet ist. Diese entnimmt dem Borstenmagazin ein Bündel von Borsten und transportiert das Bündel zu einer Stopfvorrichtung, die das Bündel dann in den Besen- oder Bürstenkörper einsetzt.In conventional stuffing machines for brooms or brushes, the bristles in the bristle magazine are usually arranged upright. On one side of the bristle magazine is an outlet opening, on which a bristle transfer device is arranged. This removes a bundle of bristles from the bristle magazine and transports the bundle to a stuffing device, which then inserts the bundle into the brush or brush body.

Kurze Borsten, wie sie beispielsweise für Zahnbürsten und bestimmte Haushaltsbürsten verwendet werden, können problemlos stehend in einem Borstenmagazin aufgenommen werden. Ihre Eigensteifigkeit ist ausreichend groß, so daß die Borsten sich im wesentlichen geradlinig erstrecken; die Borsten verbiegen sich nicht oder nur geringfügig und verheddern sich nicht mit benachbarten Borsten. Bei längeren und/oder dünneren Borsten, wie sie dagegen insbesondere für bestimmte Besen, z.B. sogenannte Italienische Besen, verwendet werden, ist die Eigensteifigkeit der Borsten nicht ausreichend, um zu gewährleisten, daß die Borsten im Borstenmagazin von alleine senkrecht stehenbleiben. Die Borsten neigen dazu, sich insbesondere in ihrer oberen Hälfte vor und hinter benachbarte Borsten zu legen. Dies ist dann ein Problem, wenn ein Bündel von Borsten entnommen werden soll, von dem einige Borsten noch mit anderen Borsten verheddert sind, die weiter hinten im Borstenmagazin stehen.Short bristles, such as those used for toothbrushes and certain household brushes, can easily be taken upright in a bristle magazine. Its inherent rigidity is sufficiently large so that the bristles extend substantially rectilinearly; the bristles do not bend, or only slightly, and do not tangle with adjacent bristles. For longer and / or thinner bristles, as they are used in particular for certain brooms, such as so-called Italian brooms, the inherent stiffness of the bristles is not sufficient to ensure that the bristles in the bristle magazine stand by itself vertically. The bristles tend to lay in front of and behind adjacent bristles, in particular in their upper half. This is a problem when removing a bundle of bristles from which some bristles are still entangled with other bristles that are further back in the bristle magazine.

Die EP 0 795 285 A1 zeigt eine automatische Füllvorrichtung für einen Doppel-Borstenbehälter, der aus zwei Borstenkanälen gebildet ist. Jeder dieser Borstenkanäle ist an beiden Seiten mit einer schienenartigen Führung versehen. Die Borsten werden an ihrem oberen Abschnitt gehalten, sodass sie frei und damit gerade nach unten hängen.The EP 0 795 285 A1 shows an automatic filling device for a double-bristle container, which is formed of two bristle channels. Each of these bristle channels is provided on both sides with a rail-like guide. The bristles are held at their upper section so that they hang freely and thus straight down.

Aus der US 3 450 312 sind eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 bzw. des Anspruchs 15 bekannt. In dieser Vorrichtung werden die Borsten parallel zu einer Welle gehalten, auf der ein Schwenkarm mit einem Büschelabtrenner befestigt ist. Die Borsten werden also auch hier in einem geraden Zustand gehalten.From the US 3,450,312 are known a device and a method having the features of the preamble of claim 1 and of claim 15, respectively. In this device, the bristles are held parallel to a shaft on which a pivoting arm is attached with a tuft cutter. The bristles are also kept in a straight state here.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, in einer Vorrichtung für eine Besen-oder Bürstenstopfmaschine mit einem Borstenmagazin zu verhindern, daß die Borsten sich untereinander verheddern.The object of the invention is to prevent in a device for a broom or brush tamping machine with a bristle magazine that the bristles get tangled with each other.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgesehen. Die Aufgabe wird auch durch ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 15 gelöst. Die Erfindung beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß die Borsten nicht notwendigerweise vollkommen gerade im Borstenmagazin gehalten werden müssen, sondern daß sie zum Teil gezielt umgelegt werden können. Dadurch wird verhindert, daß sich die einzelnen Borsten untereinander verheddern. Der umgelegte Teil einer Borste liegt nämlich lose auf den umgelegten Teilen der anderen Borsten auf, wobei die Borsten grundsätzlich ihre Reihenfolge beibehalten. Ein positiver Nebeneffekt dieser Art der Anordnung der Borsten besteht darin, daß die Höhe des Borstenmagazins sich verringert. Es können somit mehrere Borstenmagazine eng nebeneinander angeordnet werden.To solve this problem, a device having the features of claim 1 is provided. The object is also achieved by a method having the features of claim 15. The invention is based on the recognition that the bristles do not necessarily have to be kept perfectly straight in the bristle magazine, but that they can be partially targeted. This prevents that the individual bristles get tangled with each other. Namely, the folded part of a bristle loosely rests on the folded parts of the other bristles, the bristles basically keeping their order. A positive side effect of this type of arrangement of the bristles is that the height of the bristle magazine is reduced. It can thus be arranged next to each other several bristle magazines.

Gemäß einem Konzept ist vorgesehen, daß nur die obere Hälfte der Borsten umgelegt wird, während die untere Hälfte senkrecht aufgenommen ist. Dieses Konzept trägt der Tatsache Rechnung, daß das Risiko des Verhedderns der Borsten in deren oberer Hälfte am größten ist; die untere Hälfte kann nach wie vor senkrecht aufgenommen werden.According to one concept, it is provided that only the upper half of the bristles is folded over, while the lower half is received vertically. This concept takes into account the fact that the risk of entanglement of the bristles in their upper half is greatest; the lower half can still be picked up vertically.

Gemäß einem zweiten Konzept ist vorgesehen, daß die Borsten in ihrem Mittelabschnitt geklemmt oder geführt werden und sowohl die obere als auch die untere Hälfte umgebogen wird. Die Borsten haben dann allgemein eine V- oder U-förmige Gestalt. Beim zweiten Konzept ergibt sich eine besonders geringe Höhe des Borstenmagazins.According to a second concept, it is provided that the bristles are clamped or guided in their middle section and that both the upper and the lower half are bent over. The bristles are then generally V-shaped or U-shaped. The second concept results in a particularly low height of the bristle magazine.

Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand verschiedener Ausführungsformen beschrieben, die in den beigefügten Zeichnungen dargestellt sind. In diesen zeigen:

  • Figur 1 in einem schematischen Schnitt ein Borstenmagazin gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform;
  • Figur 2 in einer schematischen Schnittansicht ein Borstenmagazin gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform;
  • Figur 3 das Borstenmagazin von Figur 2 in einer perspektivischen Ansicht;
  • Figur 4 in einer schematischen Schnittansicht ein Borstenmagazin gemäß einer dritten Ausführungsform; und
  • Figur 5 in einer schematischen Schnittansicht ein Borstenmagazin gemäß einer vierten Ausführungsform.
The invention will be described below with reference to various embodiments, which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In these show:
  • FIG. 1 in a schematic section a bristle magazine according to a first embodiment;
  • FIG. 2 in a schematic sectional view of a bristle magazine according to a second embodiment;
  • FIG. 3 the bristle magazine of FIG. 2 in a perspective view;
  • FIG. 4 in a schematic sectional view of a bristle magazine according to a third embodiment; and
  • FIG. 5 in a schematic sectional view of a bristle magazine according to a fourth embodiment.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch ein Borstenmagazin 10 gezeigt, in welchem Borsten 12 aufgenommen sind, die mittels einer Bündelübertragungsvorrichtung 14 einem Stopfwerkzeug 16 zugeführt werden können. Das Borstenmagazin 10 weist eine Biegekante 20 auf, die hier als Schiene ausgeführt ist. Der Schiene 20 ist eine Auflageplatte 22 zugeordnet. Gegenüber der Biegekante 20 ist ein Gegenhalter 24 angeordnet, der ebenfalls als Schiene ausgeführt ist. Unterhalb der Biegekante 20 und des Gegenhalters 24 sind zwei Seitenwände 26 und ein Boden 28 angeordnet, die zusammen einen Aufnahmekasten bilden. Zwischen der Biegekante 20 und dem Gegenhalter 24 ist ein größerer Vorrat der Borsten 12 gehalten. Die Höhe des von den Seitenwänden 26 und des Bodens 28 gebildeten Aufnahmekastens ist so bemessen, daß etwa die Mitte der Borsten zwischen der Biegekante 20 und dem Gegenhalter 24 liegt. Die untere Hälfte der Borsten befindet sich somit senkrecht im Aufnahmekasten und kann auf dem Boden 28 stehen. Die obere Hälfte der Borsten ist gegenüber einer vertikalen Ausrichtung um etwa 70° umgebogen, so daß sie auf der Auflageplatte 22 aufliegt.In FIG. 1 schematically a bristle magazine 10 is shown in which bristles 12 are received, which can be fed by means of a bundle transfer device 14 a stuffing tool 16. The bristle magazine 10 has a bending edge 20, which is designed here as a rail. The rail 20 is associated with a support plate 22. Opposite the bending edge 20, a counter-holder 24 is arranged, which is also designed as a rail. Below the bending edge 20 and the counter-holder 24, two side walls 26 and a bottom 28 are arranged, which together form a receiving box. Between the bending edge 20 and the anvil 24, a larger supply of bristles 12 is held. The height of the receiving box formed by the side walls 26 and the bottom 28 is dimensioned so that approximately the center of the bristles between the bending edge 20 and the anvil 24 is located. The lower half of the bristles is thus perpendicular in the receiving box and can stand on the floor 28. The upper half of the bristles is bent over a vertical orientation by about 70 °, so that it rests on the support plate 22.

Das Umlegen der oberen Hälfte der Borsten hat die folgenden Vorteile: Zum einen ergibt sich eine sehr viel geringere Höhe des Borstenmagazins. In Figur 1 ist mit H die Höhe eingezeichnet, welche die Borsten 12 erreichen würden, wenn sie geradlinig stehend im Borstenmagazin aufgenommen wären. Ein zweiter Vorteil besteht darin, daß die obere Hälfte der Borsten nicht mehr dazu neigt, sich untereinander zu verheddern, da die Borsten lose auf der Auflageplatte 22 aufliegen und alle in derselben Richtung umgelegt sind; im geradlinig stehenden Zustand würde die obere Hälfte der Borsten dazu neigen, sich von alleine umzulegen, und zwar chaotisch nach vorne, hinten oder seitlich, wodurch sich die Borsten leicht mit davorliegenden und dahinterliegenden Borsten verheddern.The flipping of the upper half of the bristles has the following advantages: Firstly, the result is a much lower height of the bristle magazine. In FIG. 1 H is the height which the bristles 12 would reach if they were received in a straight line in the bristle magazine. A second advantage is that the upper half of the bristles no longer tend to get tangled with one another, as the bristles rest loosely on the platen 22 and are all folded in the same direction; when in a straight-line state, the upper half of the bristles would tend to shift on their own, chaotically forward, backward or sideways, causing the bristles to easily tangle with underlying and underlying bristles.

In den Figuren 2 und 3 ist eine zweite Ausführungsform gezeigt. Für die von der ersten Ausführungsform bekannten Bauteile werden dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet, und es wird insoweit auf die obigen Erläuterungen verwiesen.In the Figures 2 and 3 a second embodiment is shown. For the components known from the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are used, and reference is made to the above explanations in this respect.

Der wesentliche Unterschied zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß bei der zweiten Ausführungsform nicht nur die obere Hälfte der Borsten 12 umgelegt ist, sondern auch die untere Hälfte. Der Boden 28 ist in einem so geringen Abstand von der Biegekante 20 und dem Gegenhalter 24 angeordnet, daß die untere Hälfte symmetrisch zur oberen Hälfte der Borsten umgebogen ist, so daß die Borsten insgesamt eine V-förmige oder U-förmige Gestalt haben. Ein weiterer Unterschied der zweiten Ausführungsform gegenüber der ersten Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß zwei Borstenmagazine 10 übereinanderliegend angeordnet sind. Die beiden Borstenmagazine können dabei sehr viel näher beieinanderliegend angeordnet sein, als dies im Stand der Technik möglich ist. Dies ist besonders offensichtlich, wenn die gestreckte Länge der Borsten betrachtet wird, die in den Figuren 2 und 3 zum Vergleich ebenfalls eingezeichnet sind. Allerdings können natürlich auch zwei Borstenmagazine gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform übereinander angeordnet werden.The essential difference between the first and the second embodiment is that in the second embodiment, not only the upper half of the bristles 12 is folded, but also the lower half. Of the The bottom 28 is arranged at a distance so short from the bending edge 20 and the counter-holder 24, that the lower half is bent symmetrically to the upper half of the bristles, so that the bristles have a total of a V-shaped or U-shaped configuration. Another difference of the second embodiment from the first embodiment is that two bristle magazines 10 are arranged one above the other. The two bristle magazines can be arranged much closer together than is possible in the prior art. This is particularly evident when considering the stretched length of the bristles that are in the Figures 2 and 3 are also shown for comparison. However, of course, two bristle magazines according to the first embodiment can be arranged one above the other.

Zur Trennung zwischen dem unteren Aufnahmeraum, der von den beiden Seitenwänden 26 und dem Boden 28 gebildet ist, und dem oberen Aufnahmeraum, der oberhalb der Biegekante 20 und des Gegenhalters 24 liegt, ist bei der zweiten Ausführungsform eine Platte 30 vorgesehen, die als Deckel des unteren Aufnahmeraums angesehen werden kann. Die Biegekante 20 ist als abgerundete Stirnseite dieser Platte 30 ausgeführt.For separation between the lower receiving space, which is formed by the two side walls 26 and the bottom 28, and the upper receiving space, which is above the bending edge 20 and the counter-holder 24, in the second embodiment, a plate 30 is provided, which serves as a lid of the lower recording room can be viewed. The bending edge 20 is designed as a rounded end face of this plate 30.

Der Gegenhalter 24 ist mit einem Schlitz 32 versehen, durch den hindurch sich ein Vorschubelement 34 (auch bekannt als "Andruckelement" oder "Materialdrücker") erstrecken kann. Das Vorschubelement 34 erstreckt sich vom Gegenhalter 24 hin zur Biegekante 20, wobei in der Stirnseite der Platte 30 eine Nut 35 vorgesehen ist, in welche die Spitze des Vorschubelementes 34 eintaucht, so daß sich zwischen dem Vorschubelement 34 und der Biegekante 20 keine Borsten verklemmen können. Das Vorschubelement 34 wird von einer externen Antriebsvorrichtung 36 so verstellt, daß der Vorrat von Borsten 12 im Borstenmagazin immer unter dem gewünschten Druck steht.The anvil 24 is provided with a slot 32 through which a feed element 34 (also known as a "pressure element" or "material pusher") may extend. The feed element 34 extends from the anvil 24 toward the bending edge 20, wherein in the end face of the plate 30, a groove 35 is provided, in which the tip of the feed element 34 is immersed, so that between the feed element 34 and the bending edge 20 no bristles can jam , The advancing element 34 is adjusted by an external drive device 36 so that the supply of bristles 12 in the bristle magazine is always below the desired pressure.

In Figur 3 sind auch sehr gut die Bündelübertragungsvorrichtung 14 ("Bündelabnehmer" oder "Kreisbogen" genannt) und das Stopfwerkzeug 16 zu sehen. Die Bündelübertragungsvorrichtung 14 wird in einer hin- und hergehenden Schwenkbewegung zwischen dem Borstenmagazin 10 und dem Stopfwerkzeug 16 so verstellt, daß eine an ihm ausgebildete Bündelaufnahmekerbe 15 vor einer Ausgangsöffnung des Borstenmagazins 10 verschwenkt wird, wo sie ein Bündel von Borsten 12 aufnimmt. Anschließend wird die Bündel-Übertragungsvorrichtung 14 so verschwenkt, daß die Bündel-Aufnahmekerbe 15 vor dem Stopfwerkzeug 16 liegt, welches das ihr angebotene Bündel von Borsten 12 in den Bürsten- oder Besenkörper einbringt.In FIG. 3 The bundle transfer device 14 (called "bundle picker" or "circular arc") and the stuffing tool 16 can also be seen very well. The bundle transfer device 14 is displaced in a reciprocating pivotal movement between the bristle magazine 10 and the tamping tool 16 so that a bundle receiving notch 15 formed thereon is pivoted in front of an exit opening of the bristle magazine 10 where it receives a bundle of bristles 12. Subsequently, the bundle transfer device 14 is pivoted so that the bundle receiving notch 15 in front of the stuffing tool 16th which brings the bundle of bristles 12 offered in it into the brush or broom body.

In Figur 4 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform gezeigt. Für Bauteile, die von den vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen bekannt sind, werden dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet und es wird insoweit auf die obigen Erläuterungen verwiesen.In FIG. 4 a further embodiment is shown. For components which are known from the preceding embodiments, the same reference numerals are used and reference is made in this regard to the above explanations.

Die in Figur 4 gezeigte Ausführungsform unterscheidet sich von den vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen dadurch, daß zwei Borstenmagazine ineinander verschachtelt vorgesehen sind, wobei der Scheitel der gekrümmten Borsten eines Borstenmagazins im Raum zwischen den umgebogenen Schenkeln der Borsten des zweiten Borstenmagazins angeordnet sind. Bei dem in Figur 4 rechts gezeigten Borsten 12 wird für die Trennung zwischen der oberen Hälfte und der unteren Hälfte der Borsten 12 die Platte 30 verwendet, an deren Stirnseite die Biegekante 20 gebildet ist. Für die links davon angeordneten Borsten des zweiten Borstenmagazins wird als Biegekante 20 eine Schiene verwendet, die unmittelbar angrenzend an den Gegenhalter 24 des ersten Borstenmagazins angeordnet ist. Der Schiene ist die Auflageplatte 22 zugeordnet. Diese kann nicht nur als Abstützung für die obere Hälfte der Borsten 12 des zweiten, linken Borstenmagazins 10 dienen, sondern auch als Niederhalter für die obere Hälfte der Borsten des ersten, rechten Borstenmagazins. Mit der gezeigten Anordnung der gekrümmten Borsten 12 können besonders kompakt auch unterschiedliche Arten von Borsten aufgenommen und dem Stopfwerkzeug 16 zugeführt werden.In the FIG. 4 The embodiment shown differs from the preceding embodiments in that two bristle magazines are provided nested with each other, wherein the apex of the curved bristles of a bristle magazine in the space between the bent legs of the bristles of the second bristle magazine are arranged. At the in FIG. 4 bristles 12 shown on the right is used for the separation between the upper half and the lower half of the bristles 12, the plate 30, at the end face of the bending edge 20 is formed. For the bristles of the second bristle magazine arranged to the left thereof, a rail is used as the bending edge 20, which rail is arranged directly adjacent to the counter-holder 24 of the first bristle magazine. The rail is assigned to the support plate 22. This can not only serve as a support for the upper half of the bristles 12 of the second left bristle magazine 10, but also as hold-down for the upper half of the bristles of the first right bristle magazine. With the arrangement of the curved bristles 12 shown, different types of bristles can be accommodated in a particularly compact manner and supplied to the stuffing tool 16.

In Figur 5 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform mit zwei Borstenmagazinen 10 gezeigt. Für die von den vorhergehenden Ausführungsformen bekannten Bauteile werden dieselben Bezugszeichen verwendet, und es wird insoweit auf die obigen Erläuterungen verwiesen.In FIG. 5 another embodiment with two bristle magazines 10 is shown. For the components known from the preceding embodiments, the same reference numerals are used, and reference is made to the above explanations in this respect.

Der Unterschied zwischen der in Figur 4 gezeigten Ausführungsform und der in Figur 5 gezeigten Ausführungsform besteht darin, daß bei der in Figur 5 gezeigten Ausführungsform die gekrümmten Borsten 12 so angeordnet sind, daß sich ihre Scheitel gegenüberliegen.
