- figure 4b shows that, to cut the portions 31, the against-blade and therefore the rollers G2, have been moved relative to the blade housing 46, from left to right relative to this figure. Following this displacement in horizontal translation, the rollers G1 and G2 are in contact via soft seals 42. Each cut portion 31 is then grasped by pinching between the soft seals 42 of the roller G1 and the roller G2 and thus driven. until extraction of the cutting station, by the combined action of rotation of the rollers.

- the flap V allows both to grasp each portion by contact 31 and to drive it out of the cutting station.
- the flap is equipped with a claw or a control edge to position the portion cut on this flap and secure its evacuation.
- the speed and cadence of drive shaft 48 are related to the speed and rate of travel of the counterblade. These parameters are programmed using the control means taking into account the times of raising flaps.
- the figure 7a representing the cutting station 40 portions 31 offers a view similar to the figure 4a .
- the figure 7b is a view similar to the figure 7a , and illustrates the relative displacement by horizontal translation of the elements, during the cutting of a portion 31.
- FIGS. 7a and 7b show another example of a tool for extracting cut portions 31 where the roller G2 is replaced by a ramp 84 movable in horizontal translation.

Description
L'invention concerne le domaine de la pose de décors, sur des supports tronconiques, notamment des pots en matériau plastique.The invention relates to the field of setting up decorations on frustoconical supports, in particular pots made of plastic material.
Pour poser des décors sur de tels supports, en particulier sur des pots de produits alimentaires ou autres, les solutions consistent à conduire des bandes comportant les décors de manière accolée, à des postes de découpe. En particulier, pour des pots de forme cylindrique, les bandes imprimées sont de forme rectangulaire. Chaque décor est ensuite amené dans un moule de pot qui est réalisé ultérieurement par mise en forme de matière plastique.To set decorations on such media, particularly on jars of food or other products, the solutions consist in driving strips with decorations contiguous to cutting stations. In particular, for pots of cylindrical shape, the printed strips are of rectangular shape. Each decoration is then brought into a pot mold which is subsequently produced by shaping plastic material.
Dans le cas de supports tronconiques, on utilise des bandes imprimées continues et délimitées par une succession d'arcs de cercle. Le problème qui se pose alors est la présence d'un chevauchement important des extrémités du décor sur ledit support après son formage. Cette superposition des extrémités n'est pas esthétique et entraîne une surépaisseur partielle du décor posé.In the case of frustoconical supports, continuous printed strips delimited by a succession of circular arcs are used. The problem that arises then is the presence of a significant overlap of the ends of the decoration on said support after forming. This superposition of the ends is not aesthetic and causes a partial overthickness of the set decor.
Par ailleurs, il est souhaitable de pouvoir disposer d'un ensemble assurant à la fois les opérations de formage, de pose de décors et éventuellement de remplissage, d'operculage des pots et de découpe des zones en plastique inutiles autour des pots.Furthermore, it is desirable to be able to have an assembly ensuring both the operations of forming, setting of decorations and possibly filling, lidding pots and cutting unnecessary plastic areas around pots.
L'invention concerne donc un ensemble de formage de supports et de pose de décors qui a pour objet de supprimer le chevauchement des extrémités du décor, lors de la pose sur un support tronconique.The invention therefore relates to a set of support forming and setting of decorations which aims to eliminate the overlap of the ends of the decor, when laying on a frustoconical support.
Pour cela, l'invention ne nécessite pas de découper au préalable les décors. Elle permet de découper le décor, tout en supprimant la portion qui créerait une superposition des extrémités lors de la pose du décor. Elle autorise également un fonctionnement à cadence élevée, en évitant tout phénomène d'encombrement ou de bourrage ainsi que tout risque de pollution des moules par ces portions.For this, the invention does not require cutting the decorations beforehand. It allows to cut the decor, while removing the portion that would create a superposition of the ends when laying the decor. It also allows operation at a high rate, avoiding any congestion or jamming phenomenon as well as any risk of pollution of the molds by these portions.
Le document
Cette unité de coupe permet le découpage d'une bande rectangulaire de matériau, correspondant à une zone non-imprimée entre deux parties imprimées.This cutting unit allows the cutting of a rectangular strip of material, corresponding to a non-printed area between two printed portions.
Le dispositif comporte des moyens pour amener de l'air dans l'espace entre les lames de la partie supérieure de l'unité de coupe, de façon à provoquer la chute de la bande lorsqu'elle est coupée du matériau.The device comprises means for supplying air into the space between the blades of the upper part of the cutting unit, so as to cause the band to fall when it is cut from the material.
La bande tombe alors dans une corbeille qui est reliée à un moyen d'aspiration.The strip then falls into a basket which is connected to a suction means.

Par ailleurs, la portion quasi-triangulaire 31 est extraite du poste de découpe 40 immédiatement après sa découpe par un outil d'extraction comportant des ensembles de galets G jusqu'à un moyen de convoyage 7 conduisant des portions 31 vers un container à déchets et comportant, dans cet exemple, une rampe d'évacuation 70. Cet outil d'extraction sera décrit plus précisément en référence aux
Du fait de l'encombrement induit par les moules 12, les portions 31 sont guidées vers la rampe 70 par un plan incliné ou droit 73. La rampe 70 et la plaque 72 sont dimensionnées selon une largeur légèrement supérieure à la plus grande dimension des portions 31, de sorte que les portions 31 sont entraînées immédiatement et donc bien séparées les unes des autres. Cette largeur est typiquement d'environ 80 mm, pour une plus grande dimension de la portion d'environ 70 mm.Due to the space required by the
De plus, la présence d'un lit fluidisé permet d'amortir les chocs des portions découpées 31 au contact de la rampe d'évacuation 70. Dans l'exemple illustré, le convoyeur 71 qui prolonge la rampe 70, s'étend selon un angle de 120 degrés par rapport à l'axe longitudinal BB' (
Il est possible de prévoir un convoyeur par série de portions découpées au même lieu, ce convoyeur étant de largeur juste supérieure au plus grand des côtés des portions. Les deux convoyeurs d'un même poste sont montés de manière extractible pour en faciliter l'accès et le nettoyage, et peuvent être mus par un seul arbre d'entraînement. Pour un ensemble à deux postes d'introduction, il est avantageux de prévoir une évacuation vers un seul container à déchets par une orientation appropriée des convoyeurs.It is possible to provide a conveyor by series of portions cut at the same place, this conveyor being of width just greater than the largest of the sides of the portions. The two conveyors of the same station are removably mounted for easy access and cleaning, and can be driven by a single drive shaft. For a set with two introduction stations, it is advantageous to provide an evacuation to a single waste container by appropriate orientation of the conveyors.

La contre-lame présente une embase 43b et deux faces latérales inclinées 43a. Le carter 46 présente deux fentes 46F traversantes. La contre-lame 43 présente également deux fentes traversantes 43F correspondant aux fentes 46F. Toutes ces fentes sont sensiblement perpendiculaires à l'axe LL', et permettent le passage d'une bande-ébauche 63 au travers du poste de découpe 40. Dans l'exemple illustré à la
Des lames de découpe 41 sont montées sur le carter porte-couteaux 46 et sont plaquées par des moyens appropriés sur les faces latérales 43a de la contre-lame 43. Pour découper les portions 31, la contre-lame se déplace selon l'axe LL', ce qui entraîne le glissement des lames 41 sur les faces latérales 43a et la découpe des portions 31 par cisaillement, avec une vitesse et une cadence élevées. Dans un exemple de mise en oeuvre, la vitesse peut monter jusqu'à 1 m/s et la cadence à 32 cycles/mn. Classiquement, les moyens de commande transmettent des signaux au vérin 45 entraînant la contre-lame 43 en translation selon l'axe LL'.Cutting

Ainsi, les galets G1 et G2 permettent à la fois de saisir par contact chaque portion 31 et de l'entraîner hors du poste de découpe.Thus, the rollers G1 and G2 make it possible both to grasp each
De préférence, on prévoit de décaler verticalement les galets G1 par rapport aux galets G2. Ce décalage vertical correspond à un angle α , prédéterminé et contrôlé, typiquement de 20°. L'angle α est l'angle formé entre l'axe passant par les centres des galets G1 et G2 et une ligne de base LL' parallèle au châssis 4 ou entre la tangente tt' au point de contact C de ces galets avec une ligne verticale LV perpendiculaire à la ligne LL'. Le décalage vertical des galets G1 et G2 est donc considéré selon la ligne LV.Preferably, it is planned to offset the rollers G1 vertically relative to the rollers G2. This vertical offset corresponds to an angle α, predetermined and controlled, typically 20 °. The angle α is the angle formed between the axis passing through the centers of the rollers G1 and G2 and a baseline LL 'parallel to the
Cet agencement permet de donner une inclinaison non perpendiculaire de la portion 31 par rapport au châssis 4 afin de permettre l'évacuation sans coincement des portions 31. Une inclinaison complémentaire est donnée aux portions 31 également au moyen de déflecteurs B inclinés par rapport à l'extraction verticale réalisée dans le mécanisme.This arrangement makes it possible to give a non-perpendicular inclination of the
On peut envisager de remplacer le galet G1 par un rouleau de renvoi autour duquel circule une courroie. Cette courroie peut être lisse torique ou lisse plate ou encore plate crantée.It is conceivable to replace the roller G1 by a return roller around which circulates a belt. This belt can be smooth toric or smooth flat or flat notched.

Avantageusement, le volet est équipé d'une griffe ou d'une arête de contrôle pour positionner la portion découpée sur ce volet et sécuriser son évacuation. De plus, il est avantageux de prévoir une ouverture, par percée d'une fente, d'un trou ou de micro-trous, dans chaque portion 31 lors de l'estampage des bandes ébauche fille 63 de décors afin que cette griffe puisse s'introduire dans cette découpe, de manière à fiabiliser l'extraction de la portion 31.Advantageously, the flap is equipped with a claw or a control edge to position the portion cut on this flap and secure its evacuation. In addition, it is advantageous to provide an opening, by piercing a slot, a hole or micro-holes, in each

De ce fait, le guidage de la portion et son évacuation du poste de découpe sont mieux maîtrisés avec ce mode de réalisation.As a result, the guiding of the portion and its evacuation from the cutting station are better controlled with this embodiment.
D'autres solutions peuvent être prévues pour extraire les portions 31 du poste de découpe 40. Cependant, dans tous les cas, cette extraction est active, c'est-à-dire que l'acheminement des portions 31 hors du poste de découpe est contrôlé.Other solutions may be provided for extracting the

Des moyens sont prévus pour retirer la portion présente sur la tête du vérin (par exemple une rampe pour une tête équipée de picots).Then, the cylinder is actuated in translation until its head is out of the cutting station. Means are provided for removing the portion on the cylinder head (for example a ramp for a head equipped with pins).

Ce moyen de convoyage 9 comporte tout d'abord une goulotte 90 placée sous chaque poste de découpe 40, de façon à guider les portions 31. On rappelle que, dans l'exemple d'ensemble de formage illustré sur les figures, chaque poste d'introduction des décors P1 et P2 est équipé de deux postes de découpe 40, entre lesquels vient se placer successivement chacun des modules 10.This conveying means 9 first comprises a

Le moyen de soufflage d'air est conçu pour diriger le souffle d'air en direction des portions 31.The air blowing means is adapted to direct the air blast towards the
Ainsi, le dispositif de ionisation 91 permet d'éliminer presque totalement les efforts d'attraction dus aux charges électrostatiques présentes sur les portions découpées 31. Ceci permet de maîtriser le moment où les portions tombent effectivement d'une goulotte dans le collecteur 92, du fait de la gravité et donc d'éviter que des portions tombent dans un module 10 lors de son passage sous un poste de découpe 40. On notera que la rotation des modules est réglée pour que les modules soient en position haute, entre les deux postes de découpe 40, lorsque les postes de découpe sont en fonctionnement. Les modules peuvent, dans cette position haute, être alimentés en décors 3 enroulés, par les pistons 50. Par ailleurs, les portions 31 sont évacuées sous l'effet de la gravité, sans risque de pollution des moules 12 alors en position haute PH, grâce à la goulotte 90 qui guide la chute des portions 31.Thus, the

De plus, la présente invention permet de réaliser la pose sans chevauchement de décors dont les parties d'extrémité sont droites linéaires ou de forme présentant des courbes variées complémentaires qui s'imbriquent les unes aux autres. Ceci est obtenu par la découpe des parties du décor qui pourraient créer une surépaisseur. Elle résout également le problème de l'évacuation des portions découpées en évitant tout bourrage et risque de pollution des moules et donc des supports décorés.In addition, the present invention makes it possible to lay without overlapping decorations, the end portions of which are straight linear or of shape having various complementary curves which interlock with each other. This is achieved by cutting out parts of the decor that could create an extra thickness. It also solves the problem of the evacuation of the cut portions avoiding jamming and risk of pollution of the molds and thus the decorated supports.
L'invention permet également de contrôler la dynamique, les amortissements et le guidage des bandes et portions découpées, notamment au niveau des postes de découpe. De plus, les pièces sont aisément démontables et un ré-affûtage des couteaux peut être facilement exécuté.The invention also makes it possible to control the dynamics, the damping and the guiding of the strips and cut portions, in particular at the level of the cutting stations. In addition, the parts are easily removable and re-sharpening of the knives can be easily performed.
Enfin, l'invention a été décrite en référence à un ensemble de formage de supports et de pose de décors comportant trois postes disposés à 120° et trois modules de formage pouvant tourner de 120° à chaque étape. Cet ensemble permet d'obtenir des cadences de fabrication élevées. Cependant, l'invention pourrait être appliquée à d'autres ensembles de formage et de pose, comportant par exemple un seul poste d'introduction des décors dans les moules. Par ailleurs, le module de formage pourrait comporter un nombre différent de séries de moules et la machine de découpe pourrait comprendre un nombre différent de postes de découpe.Finally, the invention has been described with reference to a set of support forming and setting of decorations comprising three positions arranged at 120 ° and three forming modules that can rotate 120 ° at each step. This set makes it possible to obtain high production rates. However, the invention could be applied to other forming and laying assemblies, for example comprising a single station for introducing the decorations into the molds. Moreover, the forming module could comprise a different number of sets of molds and the cutting machine could comprise a different number of cutting stations.
