Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a unit for stacking slats on a support ladder provided with double crossbeams for the production of venetian blinds.
  • venetian blinds consist of a plurality of slats, arranged parallel to one another and kept in position by means of a cord supporting structure.
  • Such structures consist of two parallel longitudinal elements (arranged in the direction of blind height) and of a plurality of cross elements connecting together the two longitudinal elements at regular distances.
  • To each crossbeam is associated a slat.
  • supporting structures are generally known as "support ladders”.
  • systems having a plurality of units for stacking slats on support ladders. Such units are distributed along a longitudinal axis of the system, along which the single slats are made to slide in insertion. Each stacking unit associates the slats with a single support ladder.
  • the divarication of the crossbeams is done by means of shaped elements, having a very thin penetration portion, which favours the initial insertion in the eyelet, and a widening portion, joined to that of penetration and having a growing section to cause the gradual opening of the crossbeams.
  • a stacking unit is known, for example with the European application EP2314822A1 , having a pair of rotating divaricators, shaped like a sickle and arranged specularly with respect to the longitudinal centre line of the support ladder. Operatively, with a progressive rotary movement, each divaricator engages the eyelet of a ladder in the proximity of one of the two longitudinal elements.
  • the divaricator starts to engage the eyelet (still closed) with the tip portion of the sickle and then gradually widens it with the widening portion which is joined to the tip portion and has a section which gradually increases in height.
  • the surface of the divaricator which in position is turned towards the ladder is convex to receive sliding the side edge of the slat without hindering its transit.
  • the divarication operation is successful if the ladder eyelet is positioned exactly in correspondence to the working space of the divaricators. It is not however easy to control ladder positioning. This is due to the fact that the ladder is not rigid and is therefore subject to movements and to the fact that often the ladders are made with considerable dimensional tolerances. It therefore becomes essential to be able to check in real time whether or not the divarication operation has been successful, so as to repeat it in case of failure, before the insertion of the slat. Such check is performed by verifying the position actually taken up by the divaricators with respect to the ladder eyelets.
  • the sickle-shaped divaricator is furthermore, constructively complicated to make, also taking into consideration the dimensional tolerances to be respected. Presentation of the invention.
  • the object of the present invention is to eliminate in whole or in part the drawbacks of the aforementioned prior art, placing at disposal a unit for stacking slats on a support ladder with double crossbeams for the production of venetian blinds which allows a more simple control of the divarication operation of the crossbeams of a ladder.
  • a further object of the present invention is to place at disposal a unit for stacking slats which has divaricator means that are simpler to make and control.
  • the stacking unit 1 is meant to be fitted - together with one or more identical units - in a more complex production system. More in detail, the unit 1 can be movably associated with a longitudinal support bar (not shown) at one extremity of which is arranged a slat production machine (not shown).
  • the stacking unit 1 comprises a device 20 for guiding a ladder on a positioning plane m and means 40 for divaricating at least one pair of crossbeams T1, T2 of such ladder S.
  • the guiding device 20 for the ladder S can be of any type.
  • the guiding device 20 comprises two guides 21 and 22, inside which slide the longitudinal elements P1,P2 of a ladder.
  • the two guides 21, 22 can be moved, the one with respect to the other, to place under tension the crossbeams T1, T2 of the ladder S.
  • the illustrated guiding device 20 arranges the ladder on a vertical positioning plane m.
  • the divaricator means 40 are arranged in the proximity of the guiding device 20.
  • the guiding device and the divaricator means are arranged along a longitudinal axis X along which the slats L are inserted in the stacking unit 1.
  • the longitudinal axis (X) is incident to the positioning plane m of the ladder S.
  • the divaricator means 40 comprise a laminar element 41, movable parallel to the longitudinal axis X between an advanced position, in which it crosses the positioning plane m of the ladder with at least a front portion of penetration 42 in correspondence to the guiding device 20 to insert itself between two crossbeams (see Figure 2 ), and a rearward position, in which it does not cross the positioning plane m of the ladder (see Figures 1 and 9 ).
  • the divaricator means 40 comprise two divaricator tabs 51, 52 associated with the laminar element 41 and arranged in correspondence to the front portion 42 of the laminar element 41 in opposite positions with respect to the longitudinal axis X.
  • Each divaricating tab 51, 52 is movable (independently the one from the other) between a lowered position, in which it is substantially parallel with the laminar element (see Figures 1 and 13 ), and a raised position, in which it forms an angle a with the laminar element 41 (see Figures 3 and 14 ).
  • the divaricator tabs 51, 52 can be moved from the lowered position to the raised position to divaricate the two crossbeams T1, T2 and thus allow the insertion of a slat (see sequence Figures 3 and 4 ).
  • the divaricator means 40 comprise an actuator 53, 54 for each tab 51, 52 suitable for moving it between the lowered position and at least one raised position.
  • each tab 51, 52 is kinematically connected to the actuator 53, 54 by means of a lever mechanism (53a, 54a).
  • the actuator 53, 54 can in particular be a pneumatic cylinder.
  • each raisable tab 51, 52 is hinged to the laminar element 41 on opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal axis X.
  • the hinging axis Y1, Y2 of both tabs 51, 52 is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis X along which the slats are inserted in the stacking unit 1. This way, the raising of the tabs 51, 52 beyond a determinate angle completely frees the passage of the slat on the laminar element, as shown in the Figure 3 .
  • the hinging parallel to the axis X further allows, during the divarication step of the crossbeams, a symmetric opening of the crossbeams T1, T2, taking into account the fact that preferably the positioning plane m of the ladder is substantially vertical and substantially at right angles to the axis X.
  • the raising angle a of the tab is variable.
  • each tab can take on different raised positions.
  • the divarication opening angle is fixed by the characteristics of the ladder and is acute. As shown in the Figure 6 , if they are not in divarication, the tabs can be fully raised, with a substantially right angle a.
  • the laminar element 41 comprises, for each raisable tab 51, 52, a housing seat 44, 45, dug in the thickness of the laminar element, wherein the tab can be collocated.
  • the seat 44, 45 has a depth of not less than the thickness of the tab 51, 52 in such a way that the tab does not protrude from the laminar element when it is in lowered position and can therefore insert itself between the two crossbeams following the front portion 42 of the laminar element.
  • each raisable tab consists of a portion of the laminar element, cut out from the latter. In lowered position each tab is positioned in the corresponding cut-out cavity present in the laminar element.
  • the front penetration portion 42 of the laminar element has a profile with an extension differentiated in the direction of the axis X so as to define at least one portion more developed along such axis X having a width less than the total width of the laminar element with respect to a transversal direction Z.
  • the laminar element 41 can be adjusted in width, i.e. along the transversal direction Z.
  • the laminar element 41 is split into two longitudinal parts 41a and 41b, movably connected together to change their relative distance in a transversal direction. This way, the laminar element is adaptable to ladders of different dimensions.
  • the stacking unit 1 comprises at least one slat loader 10.
