Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Herstellen von Borstenfeldern für Bürsten oder von Borstenbündeln für Pinsel, wobei Borstenbüschel in Lochungen von Formen eingefüllt werden, wobei zunächst die Borstenbüschel aus Einzelborsten gebildet werden, indem ein Borstenvorrat zu Borstenbüscheln vereinzelt wird, wonach die Borsten der Form büschelweise mit Hilfe eines Gas- oder Luftstroms über einzelne, jeweils ein Borstenbüschel aufnehmende Zufuhrleitungen zugeführt und in die Lochungen der Form oder einer Vorform eingebracht werden, wobei der Gas- oder Luftstrom mit Hilfe von Unterdruck erzeugt wird, wobei die Borstenbüschel während ihrer Förderung zumindest zeitweise zusätzlich mit einem in Förderrichtung bewirkenden Druckgas oder mit Druckluft beaufschlagt werden.The invention relates to a method for producing bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes, wherein bristle tufts are filled into holes of molds, wherein initially the bristle tufts are formed from single bristles by a bristle supply is separated into bristle tufts, after which the bristles of the form in tufts with Help of a gas or air stream via individual, each receiving a bristle tufts supply lines and introduced into the perforations of the mold or a preform, wherein the gas or air flow is generated by means of negative pressure, the bristle tufts during their promotion at least temporarily additionally be acted upon in the conveying direction pressurized gas or compressed air.
Ein derartiges Verfahren ist aus der
Aus der
Es besteht deshalb die Aufgabe, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass die Zeit zum Herstellen von Borstenfeldern gering gehalten werden kann und dass eventuelle Staus oder Verklemmungen einzelner Borsten verhindert werden können, wobei die Förderung der Borsten beschleunigt werden soll.There is therefore the object of further developing a method and a device of the type mentioned above in that the time for producing bristle fields can be kept low and that any jams or jamming of individual bristles can be prevented, wherein the delivery of the bristles should be accelerated.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt mit den Mitteln und Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1.The solution of this object is achieved with the means and features of claim 1.
Die Erfindung sieht also für ein eingangs definiertes Verfahren vor, dass die Borstenbüschel zu Beginn der Förderung und beim Eintritt in die Zuführleitungen ausschließlich einem in den Zuführleitungen herrschenden Unterdruck ausgesetzt werden und dass ein Überdruck auf die Zuführleitungen an deren Eintrittsbereich erzeugt oder aufgebracht wird, nachdem die Borstenbüschel eine Teilstrecke oder eine Eintrittsstelle für den Überdruck passiert haben, wobei ein Überdruck angelegt wird, der gegenüber dem atmosphärischen Normaldruck eine größere Differenz als der Unterdruck hat.Thus, for a method defined at the outset, the invention provides for the bristle tufts to be exposed exclusively to a negative pressure prevailing in the supply lines at the beginning of the delivery and when they enter the supply lines, and for an overpressure to be generated or applied to the supply lines at their entry region after the Bristle tufts have passed a section or an entry point for the overpressure, wherein an overpressure is applied, which is opposite to the atmospheric normal pressure has a greater difference than the negative pressure.
Somit wird die Förderung der Borstenbüschel nur während eines Teiles des Förderwegs zusätzlich mit Druckgas oder Druckluft unterstützt, sodass also ein Förderstrom durch eine Kombination von Unterdruck und Überdruck bewirkt wird, wobei der Überdruck aber erst verzögert und somit unter Vermeidung von eventuellen Staus am Eintritt in die Zuführleitungen wirksamgemacht wird. Dadurch entsteht eine höhere Strömungsgeschwindigkeit, was zu einer höheren Transportgeschwindigkeit der Borstenbüschel und dadurch zu einer Verminderung der Herstellungszeit der Borstenfelder führt. Dennoch werden die Borstenbüschel in der schon durch die Anordnung gemäß
Dabei werden die Borstenbüschel also zunächst mittels Unterdruck in die Zuführleitung eingezogen werden, ohne dass sie dabei hinsichtlich ihrer Einführbewegung durch einen zusätzlichen Überdruck ausgelenkt werden können. Die Sicherheit, dass die einzelnen Borsten als Borstenbüschel in die jeweiligen Zuführleitungen eintreten können, wird durch diese Maßnahme verbessert.The bristle tufts are thus first drawn into the supply line by means of negative pressure, without being able to be deflected by an additional overpressure with regard to their introduction movement. The certainty that the individual bristles can enter into the respective supply lines as bristle tufts is improved by this measure.
Unterstützt wird dies dadurch, dass ein Überdruck auf die Zuführleitungen an deren Eintrittsbereich erzeugt oder aufgebracht wird, nachdem die Borstenbüschel eine Teilstrecke oder eine Eintrittsstelle für den Überdruck passiert haben.This is supported by the fact that an overpressure is created or applied to the supply lines at the inlet region after the bristle tufts have passed a partial section or an entry point for the overpressure.
Somit können die Borstenbüschel nach einer gezielten Beförderung in die Zuführleitungen dann zusätzlich dem Überdruck ausgesetzt und hinsichtlich ihrer weiteren Förderbewegung beschleunigt werden, was durch die größere Druckdifferenz des Überdrucks gegenüber dem atmosphärischen Druck gegenüber dem Unterdruck verstärkt wird.Thus, the bristle tufts can then be additionally exposed to the positive pressure after a targeted transport into the supply lines and accelerated in terms of their further conveying movement, which is reinforced by the greater pressure difference of the overpressure relative to the atmospheric pressure relative to the negative pressure.
Eine weitere Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann vorsehen, dass nach dem Einfüllen der Borstenbüschel in die Form oder eine Vorform die Mündungen der Zuführleitungen von der Form oder Vorform wegbewegt oder abgehoben und der Unterdruck insbesondere ausgeschaltet werden und dass der Überdruck für eine Restzeit ganz oder vermindert aufrecht erhalten und die Zuführleitungen durchgeblasen werden.A further embodiment of the method according to the invention can provide that after filling the bristle tufts into the mold or a preform, the mouths of the supply lines are moved away from the mold or preform and the vacuum is switched off, in particular, and the overpressure is maintained completely or reduced for a remaining time obtained and the supply lines are blown.
Dadurch kann erreicht werden, dass die Zuführleitungen zumindest von Zeit zu Zeit durch die Druckgas- oder Druckluftströmung von Abrieb oder von eventuell doch darin verbliebenen einzelnen Borsten befreit und gereinigt werden. Entsprechend sicher können bei einem nächsten Arbeitstakt Borsten durch die entsprechend sauberen und glatten Zuführleitungen bewegt werden.It can thereby be achieved that the supply lines are at least from time to time freed and cleaned by the compressed gas or compressed air flow of abrasion or of possibly remaining therein individual bristles. Correspondingly, bristles can be moved through the correspondingly clean and smooth supply lines during a next working cycle.
Weiterhin ist es möglich, dass der zur Unterstützung der Förderung der Borstenbüschel dienende Überdruck während der Förderung geändert und die Borstenbüschel mit einem intermittierenden und/oder pulsierenden Gas- oder Luftstrom durch die Zuführleitungen bewegt werden. Dadurch kann die Strömungsgeschwindigkeit und damit die Transportgeschwindigkeit der Borstenbüschel während der Beförderung durch die Zuführleitungen geändert werden, um eventuelle Staus oder Verklemmungen in den Zuführleitungen zu vermeiden oder gegebenenfalls zu lösen.Furthermore, it is possible that the overpressure used to assist the promotion of the bristle tufts may be changed during conveyance and the bristle tufts may be moved through the supply lines with an intermittent and / or pulsating flow of gas or air. Thereby, the flow rate and thus the transport speed of the bristle tufts can be changed during transport through the supply lines to avoid or possibly solve any jams or jamming in the supply lines.
Es kann zweckmäßig sein, wenn während der Förderung ein Überdruck verwendet wird, der etwa doppelt so hoch bis zehnmal so hoch wie der Unterdruck ist. Entsprechend gut wird die Förderung der Borstenbüschel unterstützt und gegenüber einer Förderung nur mit Hilfe von Unterdruck beschleunigt.It may be expedient if an overpressure is used during the delivery, which is about twice as high to ten times as high as the negative pressure. The promotion of bristle tufts is supported accordingly well and accelerated compared to a promotion only with the help of negative pressure.
Es kann auch vorgesehen werden, dass die Borstenbüschel mit Hilfe einer Gasmischung, zum Beispiel einer Mischung aus Luft und einem anderen Gas durch die Zuführleitungen bewegt werden. Es kann also zur Unterstützung der Förderung ein Gas oder Gasgemisch Verwendung finden, welches bessere Strömungseigenschaften als Luft hat und zum Beispiel bei gleicher Druckdifferenz eine höhere Strömungsgeschwindigkeit aufweist.It may also be provided that the bristle tufts are moved by means of a gas mixture, for example a mixture of air and another gas through the supply lines. It can therefore be used to support the promotion of a gas or gas mixture, which has better flow characteristics than air and, for example, at the same pressure difference has a higher flow velocity.
Das vorstehend erläuterte Verfahren kann mit einer Vorrichtung durchgeführt werden, bei welcher eine Druckquelle zur Zufuhr von Druckgas oder Druckluft an die Zuführleitungen dient und zwischen der Druckquelle und den Zuführleitungen Absperrmittel vorgesehen sind, die während des Fördervorgangs offen oder offenbar sind, und dass die Steuerung der Druckquelle die Absperrmittel derart ansteuert, dass Druckgas oder Druckluft erst in die Zuführleitungen eintritt, wenn Borstenbüschel die Zufuhrstelle für das Druckgas oder die Druckluft passiert oder eine Teilstrecke zurückgelegt haben.The above-described method can be carried out with a device in which a pressure source for supplying compressed gas or compressed air to the supply lines and provided between the pressure source and the supply lines blocking means which are open or obvious during the conveying operation, and that the control of Pressure source, the shut-off means controls such that compressed gas or compressed air enters the supply lines only when bristle tufts passed the supply point for the compressed gas or compressed air or have covered a partial distance.
Somit kann vorzugsweise in automatisierter Form dafür gesorgt werden, dass die Borstenbüschel relativ langsam mit Hilfe von Unterdruck in die Zuführleitungen oder Förderleitungen eingesaugt werden und dann dem höheren Druck ausgesetzt werden, um ihre Fördergeschwindigkeit zu erhöhen, wobei die Vorrichtung ein gezieltes Zuführen von Druckgas und Druckluft dahingehend erlaubt, dass die entsprechenden Absperrmittel zu einem gewünschten Zeitpunkt geöffnet und dazu mittels einer Steuerung angesteuert werden.Thus, it can be preferably provided in an automated manner that the bristle tufts are sucked in relatively slowly by means of negative pressure in the supply lines or delivery lines and then subjected to higher pressure in order to increase their conveying speed, wherein the device targeted supply of compressed gas and compressed air permissible to the effect that the corresponding shut-off means are opened at a desired time and by means of a Control are controlled.
Die Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens kann dadurch ausgestaltet sein, dass eine Halterung oder Einführplatte für die Einführenden der Zuführleitungen vorgesehen ist und dass diese Halterung zu den Einführenden der Zuführleitung führende Kanäle für den Überdruck aufweist, die mit Absperrorganen und/oder Ventilen zusammen wirken. Insbesondere können diese zu den Zuführleitungen führenden Kanäle für den Überdruck seitlich von den Eintrittsstellen für die Borstenbüschel angeordnet sein, sodass bei geschlossenen Absperrorganen- und/oder Ventilen zunächst die Borstenbüschel an diesen Mündungen der Kanäle vorbeigesaugt werden können, bevor diese durch Öffnen der Absperrorgane- oder Ventile wirksam werden.The device for carrying out the method can be configured in that a holder or insertion plate is provided for the feeders of the supply lines and that this holder has leading to the feed ends of the feed line leading channels for the overpressure, which interact with shut-off valves and / or valves together. In particular, these channels leading to the feed lines for the overpressure can be arranged laterally from the entry points for the bristle tufts, so that with closed shut-off valves and / or valves, the bristle tufts can first be sucked past these mouths of the channels before they are opened by opening the shut-off elements Valves take effect.

Zum Herstellen von Borstenfeldern für Bürsten oder von Borstenbündel für Pinsel werden Borstenbüschel 3 in Lochungen 4 von Formen 5 eingefüllt, wobei zunächst die Borstenbüschel 3 aus Einzelborsten 2 gebildet werden, indem ein in einem Borstenmagazin 9 befindlicher Borstenvorrat mit Hilfe eines Entnahmeschiebers 10 zu den Borstenbüscheln 3 vereinzelt wird. Danach werden die Borsten der Form 5 büschelweise mit Hilfe eines Gas- oder Luftstroms über einzelne, jeweils ein Borstenbüschel 3 aufnehmende Zuführleitungen 6 zugeführt und in die Lochungen 4 der Form 5 eingebracht. Der Gas- oder Luftstrom wird dabei vor allem zu Beginn der Förderung der Borstenbüschel 4 mit Hilfe von Unterdruck erzeugt. Zusätzlich werden die Borstenbüschel 3 während ihrer Förderung zumindest zeitweise zusätzlich mit einem in Förderrichtung wirkenden Druckgas oder mit Druckluft beaufschlagt, insbesondere nachdem sie eine erste kurze Teilstrecke oder eine Eintrittsstelle 12 für den Überdruck passiert haben.To produce bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brush bristle
Claims (5)
- Method for the manufacture of bristle fields for brushes or of bristle bundles for paint brushes, wherein clusters of bristles (3) are filled into perforations (4) of moulds (5), wherein initially the clusters of bristles (3) are formed from individual bristles (2) in that a bristle supply is separated to form clusters of bristles (3), whereupon the bristles are infed to the mould (5) in clusters by means of a gas stream or an air stream via individual infeed lines (6), which in each case accommodate one cluster of bristles (3), and introduced into the perforations (4) of the mould (5) or of a preform, wherein the gas stream or air stream is generated by means of negative pressure, wherein, during conveying thereof, the clusters of bristles (3) are at least temporarily additionally impinged with a compressed gas, or with compressed air, acting in the conveying direction, characterized in that, at the beginning of conveying and upon entry into the infeed lines, the clusters of bristles (3) are exclusively subjected to a negative pressure prevalent in the infeed lines (6) and in that, after the clusters of bristles (3) have passed a stage or an entry point (12) for the positive pressure, a positive pressure is generated or applied to the infeed lines (6) at their entry region (8), wherein a positive pressure, which has a greater differential in relation to the atmospheric standard pressure than the negative pressure has, is applied.
- Method according to Claim 1, characterized in that, after inserting the clusters of bristles (3) into the mould (5), the ports of the infeed lines (6) are moved away or raised from the mould (5) or preform and that the negative pressure is, in particular, switched off and in that, for a remaining time, the positive pressure is sustained completely or in a reduced manner and that the infeed lines (6) are being blown out.
- Method according to either Claim 1 or 2, characterized in that the positive pressure serving for the support of the conveying of the clusters of bristles (3) is modified during conveying so that the clusters of bristles (3) are being moved through the infeed lines (6) with an intermittent and/or pulsating gas or air stream.
- Method according to one of the Claims 1 to 3, characterized in that a positive pressure, which is about double to ten times as high as the negative pressure, is being used during conveying.
- Method according to one of the Claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the clusters of bristles are being moved through the infeed lines by means of a gas mixture, for example a mixture of air and another gas.
