Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for forming packs of napkins folded into four, provided with means for synchronizing the speed of advancing movement of the pack separating means.
  • the operating devices of the known machines have, however, a structural limitation in that it is not possible to ensure correct and continuous operation of the machine in all those cases where variations in the thickness of the paper strip occur or where there is a variation in the working speed due to the different characteristics of the paper strip and machine stoppages in order to change the reel; this reduces significantly the efficiency of the machine owing to the repeated stoppages, large number of finished product rejects and incorrect transfer of the packs of napkins from the forming machine to the packaging machine.
  • the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is to provide a machine for producing napkins and for dividing them into packs formed by a specific and constant number of napkins, said machine being equipped with apparatus which provide a solution to the abovementioned problems of known machines.
  • the apparatus should be able to reduce the damage to the sheets at the moment of separation and/or movement away from each other of the two sheets in adjacent packs and that said apparatus should also be suitable for application to ready-existing machines with a limited need for special adaptation.
  • a machine for forming packs (P) of napkins folded into four comprising a pair of cylinders for picking up a sheet of paper suitably pre-folded along a longitudinal folding line and feeding said sheet folded along vertical fold lines; said folding means also performing counting of the napkins which must form each pack; a conveying surface with vertical shoulders for supporting and retaining the napkins; means for unloading each pack (P) formed by a given number of napkins and extracted from the machine, said means being associated with at least one sensor able to detect a pressure corresponding to the presence of a complete pack and emit corresponding consent signals to programming and control means; an apparatus for separating the packs formed in succession, which comprises a feeler arm movable rotationally from a lowered position, where it engages with the first napkin in a pack, into a raised position where it does not interfere with the advancing packs (P) and vice versa; said feeler arms being mounted on a transverse shaft operated rotationally by associated pneumatic means and displaceably by
  • the machine according to the present invention comprises essentially:
  • the operating device which produces the displacement of the flanges 210 is formed by an electric motor 300, which is preferably of the brushless or stepper type, controlled by the programming means 1000 which also control the sequences of movements of the various parts of the machine, which programming means are also able to control the speed of rotation of the cylinders 10 and therefore the speed of advancing movement of the sheet 2; this means that the advancing movement of the packs P and extraction thereof is always linked to the actual speed of movement of the sheet 2 which forms the napkins, this being a factor which, as will emerge more clearly below, is decisive for correct operation of the machine when there is variation in the characteristics of the paper.
  • the constructional details of the mechanical supporting and transmission parts are not described here, since they are conventional per se and lie within the competence of the person skilled in the art.
  • the decisive factor in the sequence of movements described above is the advancing movement of the flanges 210 from the retracted engaged position F2 into the advanced disengaged position F1 produced by the motor 300, the speed of rotation of which is controlled by the programming device 1000 linked also to the speed of rotation of the two cylinders 10 and therefore to the speed of advancing movement of the sheet 1 entering the cylinders, so that any variation in the speed of movement of the sheet 1, due to different characteristics of the paper, is compensated for by a corresponding different speed of movement of the flange 210 which thus compensates for any different speeds of movement and prevents incorrect formation of the packs present on the conveying surface along the entire exit section from the cylinders/unloading means.

Claims (4)

  1. Machine pour former des paquets (P) de serviettes de table (1c) pliées en quatre, comprenant :
    deux cylindres (10) destinés à prélever une feuille de papier (1) prépliée de manière appropriée le long d'une ligne de pliage longitudinale via un moyen associé (1a) et à faire avancer ladite feuille (1) pliée le long de lignes de pliage verticales (1b) de façon à former une bande continue (2) pliée en quatre ; ledit moyen de pliage (1a) assurant également le comptage des serviettes de table qui doivent former chaque paquet ;
    une surface de transport (20) dotée d'épaulements verticaux (21) destinés à supporter et à retenir les serviettes de table (1c) ;
    un moyen (30) destiné à décharger chaque paquet (P) formé d'un nombre donné de serviettes de table et extrait de la machine, ledit moyen étant associé à au moins un capteur (40) pouvant détecter une pression correspondant à la présence d'un paquet complet et émettre des signaux d'accord correspondants à destination de moyens de programmation et de commande (1000) ;
    un appareil (100) destiné à séparer les paquets (P1..., Pn) formés à la suite les uns des autres, qui comprend :
    un bras palpeur (110), pour chaque ligne de serviettes de table (1c), mobile en rotation autour d'un axe parallèle à la direction transversale (Y-Y), d'une position abaissée, à laquelle il engage avec la première serviette de table d'un paquet, à une position élevée, à laquelle il n'interfère pas avec les paquets (P) qui avancent, et vice versa ; lesdits bras palpeurs étant montés sur un axe transversal (112) actionné en rotation par un moyen pneumatique associé (111) et suivant un déplacement par des vérins pneumatiques associés (114) conçus pour déplacer les bras palpeurs d'une position (M1) avancée dans la direction longitudinale (X-X), à laquelle se produit la rotation vers le bas, à une position (M2) en retrait dans la même direction longitudinale, à laquelle les bras palpeurs sont élevés ;
    des moyens (200) destinés à retenir les paquets (P) qui avancent dans la direction longitudinale (X-X), comprenant sensiblement deux flasques (210) mobiles en rotation autour d'un axe parallèle à la direction longitudinale (X-X), d'une position n'interférant pas élevée à une position abaissée à laquelle ils interfèrent avec le premier paquet (Pn) qui avance en direction du moyen de déchargement (30) ; lesdits moyens de retenue étant montés sur une broche longitudinale respective (211), actionnée en rotation par des moyens d'actionnement pneumatiques associés (213), où les flasques (210) peuvent être déplacés dans la direction longitudinale (X-X) d'une position avancée (F1), proche du moyen de déchargement (30), à laquelle se produit la rotation vers le haut permettant le dégagement du paquet (P), à une position en retrait (F2) à laquelle ils tournent vers le bas de façon à interférer avec le paquet (P) qui avance,
    ladite machine étant caractérisée en ce que
    les moyens permettant d'assurer le déplacement des flasques (210) comprennent un moteur électrique (300) commandé par les moyens de programmation et de commande (1000) qui déterminent les séquences de mouvements des différentes pièces de la machine
    et en ce que
    lesdits moyens de programmation et de commande peuvent détecter la vitesse de rotation des cylindres (10) et, par conséquent, le mouvement d'avance de la feuille (2) et déterminer une vitesse correspondante de déplacement vers l'avant des flasques (210).
  2. Machine selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend une lame de coupe (2a) qui, en agissant dans la direction longitudinale, coupe la bande formant deux lignes de serviettes (1c) pliées en quatre et séparées individuellement les unes des autres.
  3. Machine selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce que ledit moteur électrique est du type sans collecteur.
  4. Machine selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce que ledit moteur électrique est du type pas à pas.
