Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing bristle fields for brushes, in particular toothbrushes, with a bristle supply and a device for removing individual bristle bundles from the bristle supply, which has at least one bundle receptacle, and with a transport device for transporting the bristle bundles through at least one Hollow pipe by means of a gas or air flow in perforations of a bundle holding plate, which are contoured for receiving a transported in a hollow line bristle bundle in each case according to the desired bundle contour.
  • Such a device is for example from the EP 0,405,204 B1 known.
  • several filament bundles are transported via hoses into a carrier plate.
  • the filament bundles are then fused to a thermoplastic carrier plate and / or encapsulated with plastic material to form a brush head.
  • the individual bristle bundles each have a round cross section.
  • more complex bristle fields are nowadays desired, in which at least individual bristle bundles have a non-circular cross-section, for example rectangular or triangular.
  • the achievement of this object is that the inner contour of the hollow line (s) undergoes a contour change in the course up to the discharge end of the hollow line to a desired bundle contour in the bristle field.
  • the bundles of bristles are overmolded after assembly into a bristle field to form a brush head with plastic material.
  • the bundle plate a compactor plate downstream, the perforations to Receiving bristle bundles whose cross-sections are each smaller than the cross-section of the supplied to the respective hole bundle of bristles, and that a device for passing the bristle bundles is provided by the bundle holding plate to the compressor plate. This is for example in the DE 101 08 339 A1 described.
  • the bundles of bristles are compacted, that is to say the entire bristle bundle becomes with respect to its outer circumference slightly reduced and so reduces the distance between the individual bristle filaments of a bristle bundle to each other.
  • This can be used in the subsequent encapsulation of the bristle bundles with plastic material to form a brush head or the entire brush body with high injection pressure without the risk that spray material pressed through the bristle bundles through the outside and the brush is thus unusable.
  • the transport device In order to feed the bristle bundles to the bundle holding plate, the transport device has a hollow line for a bristle bundle. Their discharge-side end and the bundle-holding plate may be positionable relative to one another in order to successively fill all holes of the bundle-holding plate with bristle bundles.
  • the transport device In order to enable a faster filling of all perforations of the bundle holding plate with bristle bundles, it is expedient for the transport device to have a number of hollow lines adapted to the number of perforations of the bundle holding plate. Thus, all holes can be filled at the same time.
  • hollow tubes are hoses made of flexible material.
  • hoses made of plastic can be used.
  • the hollow pipes can also be pipe joints made of steel, stainless steel or other metal.
  • Plastic hoses require a certain thickness of material in order to withstand the pressure during bundle transport by means of gas or air flow.
  • hollow pipes made of metal whose material thickness and thus their outer diameter be dimensioned smaller, so that they can be arranged closer to each other end closer together and the perforations of the bundle plate can also be set tighter.
  • the bundle holding plate can have overall smaller dimensions, which reduces the space requirement of the device and it is possible bristle fields with bristle bundles arranged closer to each other.
  • the bundle holding plate can be a brush part body, an injection mold insert or an intermediate plate which can be transferred to a further processing device.
  • the bundle holding plate serves to receive the bristle bundles and is itself part of the finished brush during encapsulation of the bundle ends.
  • the bundle holding plate with the bundles of bristles held therein is inserted into an injection mold, and after encapsulation of the bundle ends, the bundle holding plate is removed from the bristle bundles and the then finished brush.
  • the bundle holding plate is formed as an intermediate plate, it can be transferred to a further processing device and there transferred to a brush part body, an injection mold insert or initially, as described above, to a compactor plate.
  • the plurality of hollow conduits of the transport device each open into a guide channel of a guide element, wherein the guide channels are each formed as through holes and the Abvant statisticallyen distances of the guide channels are mutually less than the feed side distances.
  • the distances between the guide channels can be greater than one another in order to allow a secure connection of the hollow lines.
  • the guide channels can approach each other and be arranged on the discharge side very close to each other. Since no connection points are required on the discharge side, the distance between the guide channels is limited only by the production technology for the guide element.
  • the guide element may be formed in one or more parts.
  • the guide element may consist of two sub-blocks, wherein a first sub-block has rectilinear, but funnel-shaped converging guide channels for reducing the hole spacing and an adjoining second sub-block parallel to each other extending guide channels.
  • the removal device 3 in this case has a circular disk 5 with three bundle receptacles 6 as a bundle divider.
  • the circular disk 5 is in each case between a bundle receiving position ( Fig. 1,3,5,7 ) and a bundle delivery position ( Fig. 2,4,6,8 ) pivotable (arrow Pf).
  • the circular disk 5 After removing the bristle bundles 4 from the bristle supply 2, the circular disk 5 is pivoted through 180 °, wherein the bundle receivers 6 pass by a stationary counterpart 7, whereby a falling out of the bristle bundles 4 from the bundle receivers 6 is avoided.
  • a transfer position of the circular disc 5 ( Fig. 2,4,6,8 )
  • the bristle bundles 4 with a transfer device, not shown, in hollow conduits 8 a transport device, not shown to hand over.
  • a movable counterpart 9 is brought into a position spaced from the circular disc 5 position to release the bundle receptacles 6.
  • FIGS. 9 to 13 are shown enlarged cross-sections of hollow conduits 8, from which the adjustment of their feed side inner contour 10 to the contour of the bristle bundle 4 shows more clearly. While the hollow tubes 8 according to FIGS. 9 to 11 have a round outer cross-section is according to FIGS. 12 and 13 also the outer contour of the hollow line 8 adapted to the inner contour. As a result, the cost of materials for the hollow conduit 8 can be reduced.
  • FIGS. 14 to 17 each show in a partial sectional view a hollow line 8, in which the inner contour 10 of the hollow line 8 in the course of the removal device facing insertion end 11 to the discharge end 12 of the hollow line 8 undergoes a contour change toward a desired bundle contour in the bristle field.
  • the bristle bundles 4 are in each case corresponding to approximately circular contoured bundle receptacles 6 FIGS. 5 and 6 taken from the bristle supply 2 and passed to the hollow lines 8, where they are transformed during transport according to the changing inner contour 10.
  • hollow tubes 8 according to FIGS. 15 and 17 also changes the outer contour of the insertion end 11 to the discharge end 12, whereby the material requirement for the hollow pipe 8 is reduced.
  • the contoured bristle bundles 4 of the embodiments become FIGS. 14 to 17 from the hollow conduits 8 in correspondingly contoured perforations of a not shown Bundle holding plate introduced.
  • the hollow lines 8 have a certain material thickness, whereby the density of the perforations of a subsequent bundle holding plate is limited.
  • the plurality of hollow conduits 8 of the transport device each open into a guide channel 13 of a guide member 14, wherein the guide channels 13 are each formed as through holes and the removal-side distances of the guide channels 13 to each other are smaller than the feed side distances.
  • the distances between the guide channels 13 are larger than one another in order to allow a secure connection of the hollow lines 8.
  • the hollow conduits 8 are introduced into receptacles with a widened cross section of the guide element 14.
  • the guide channels 13 approach each other and are disposed on the discharge side very close to each other.
  • the guide element 14 according to FIG. 18 is formed in several parts with a first part block 15 with straight, but funnel-shaped converging guide channels 13 for reducing the hole spacing and an adjoining second part block 16 with mutually parallel guide channels thirteenth
