Definitions

  • the invention concerns the field of cartridge production and loading lines, in particular for cartridges used in the sporting, civil and military sector.
  • the invention relates to a cartridge loading machine with quick caliber change system, equipped to receive empty cartridges, fill them with the necessary inner components, seal them and manufacture them.
  • cartridge loading machines substantially comprise a frame structure, feed means for empty cartridges, an operating beam that supports ancillary means responsible for loading and in-line processing of said cartridges, feed and conveying means of the cartridges during loading thereof, ejection means for the loaded cartridges.
  • cartridge feed and conveying means generally comprise:
  • said abutment bar is stably and permanently fastened to said loading machine.
  • the geometry of the machine and in particular the mutual distances between the race on which the cartridges travel, the conveyor guide and the abutment bar, are in fact defined with extreme precision and essentially depend on the caliber of the cartridges being produced.
  • a same machine can however be designed to produce cartridges of different calibers, for example cal. 12, cal. 16, cal. 20, and therefore, when changing from one caliber to another, it is necessary to vary the positions of the aforesaid components by millimeters, to maintain the axis of the cartridge unchanged with respect to the operating devices and allow correct operation of the machine and kinematic coordination of all the moving parts, thereby preventing undesirable misalignment, above all between empty cartridges and ancillary loading means.
  • the invention intends to overcome these limits by producing a loading machine provided with feed and conveying means of the cartridges that speed up and simplify operations to prepare the machine during caliber changes of the cartridges to be manufactured.
  • a further aim of the invention is to produce a loading machine that is safe for operators, efficient and productive.
  • said shifting means of said abutment bar are automatic.
  • said shifting means of said abutment bar comprise a pair of pneumatic cylinders.
  • said interchangeable regulating means comprise a plurality of spacers, acting as abutment surface for said bar and having a thickness adequate for the distance to be maintained between said bar and said race.
  • said spacers are stably associable with said frame structure by means of reversible fastening means.
  • said loading machine comprises housings adapted to receive and retain said spacers in stable position.
  • each spacer comprises a foot having dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of said housings, and a body adapted to act as support for said abutment bar, wherein said body has a different thickness with respect to the foot, and said thickness is selected as a function of the distance to be maintained between said bar and said race.
  • said conveyor guide comprises a first and a second element, wherein said first element moves with translational motion in transverse direction to the direction of movement of said cartridges and is adapted to act, in cooperation with said abutment bar, as stopping and contact element for said cartridges during loading, and said second element moves with translational and rotational motion and is adapted to shift said cartridges from one operating position to the other, at said ancillary means.
  • said first and second element are both provided with a comb-shaped edge facing the cartridges.
  • the main advantage of the invention consists in the fact that the shifting means of the conveyor bar and the interchangeable regulating means allow quick and accurate preparation of the machine at each caliber change of the cartridges in production and ensure maximum safety for operators working under the operating beam and for the machine itself and its components.
  • a further advantage consists in the possibility of easy access to the inside of the loading machine, in particular in proximity of the feed and conveying means of the cartridges.
  • Automation of the shifting means of the abutment bar further simplifies the step to replace the regulating means.
  • the structure of the spacers in cooperation with the specific housings provided on the frame and into which they can be inserted, makes them self-centering, stable and acting as perfect support and stop surface for the abutment bar, which thus always remains perfectly aligned with the race of the cartridges and at the correct distance therefrom to take account of the caliber of the cartridges being filled.
  • the conveyor guide provided with two superimposed elements with differentiated movement is very advantageous.
  • the first element provided with translational motion allows the cartridges to remain even more stable during the loading steps, coming into contact against the abutment bar while the cartridges are stopped, and retracting while the second element translates along the race.
  • a loading machine 1 for cartridges 2 generally used for hunting or in the sporting sector, for example for clay pigeon shooting.
  • Said machine 1 essentially comprises a frame structure 3 on which there are provided feed means 4 for said empty cartridges 2 having a given caliber c, an operating beam 5 provided with ancillary devices adapted to load said cartridges 2, feed and conveying means 100 of said cartridges 2 during loading thereof, ejection means for the loaded cartridges, motor means 6 for activation of all the kinematic mechanisms and a control unit 7 adapted to monitor all the functions of the machine 1.
  • said feed and conveying means 100 of said cartridges 2 comprise:
  • said conveyor guide 9 comprises a first 19 and a second 29 element, both having a comb-shaped edge facing the cartridges and at least partly superimposed on one another.
  • Said second element 29 instead, moves with translational and rotational motion and is adapted to shift said cartridges 2 on the race from one operating position to the other at the ancillary devices of the operating beam 5, when passing from one filling step to the other of these cartridges, making use of the concave housings arranged along the comb-shaped edge thereof.
  • said first 19 and said second 29 element are reversibly associated with the kinematic mechanisms of said loading machine 1, so that, simply by loosening the respective fastening means 16, 17 thereof, it is possible to move said elements 19, 29 away from said race 8, during ordinary maintenance and each caliber change of the cartridges 2 in production.
  • said conveyor guide 9 can comprise only the rotating and translating element 29, without the use of the element 19 for stopping the cartridges during the loading steps.
  • said feed and conveying means 100 of said cartridges 2 also comprise:
  • said shifting means 11 of said abutment bar 10 are automated and can comprise, as for example in the variant shown, a pair of pneumatic cylinders 13, distributed along said bar 10 and operable by means of the control unit 7 provided on the machine 1.
  • Said interchangeable regulating means 12 comprise a plurality of pairs of spacers 14 adapted to be inserted between said abutment bar 10 and said race 8, to maintain an appropriate distance therebetween, defined on the basis of the caliber c of the cartridges 2 in production.
  • the spacers 14 of each pair in fact, have a suitable thickness s to define the distance to be imposed between said bar 10 and said race 8: at each caliber change of the cartridges 2, this distance must be changed and consequently a further pair of spacers 14 with appropriate thicknesses s is selected.
  • Said loading machine 1 comprises housings 15 adapted to retain said spacers 14 in a stable position and, to increase the stability and safety of the feed and conveying means 100 of said cartridges 2, said spacers 14 are also associated with the frame structure 3 of said machine 1 by means of reversible fastening means, for example screws.
  • each spacer 14 comprises a foot 14' having dimensions corresponding to the dimensions of said housings 15, and a body 14", against which said abutment bar 10 rests and abuts, having a different thickness s with respect to the foot 14', and said thickness s is selected adequately as a function of the distance to be maintained between said bar 10 and said race 8.
  • Figs. 8 and 9 shows, with intentionally deformed proportions, some components of the quick caliber change system, in two possible operating conditions, in particular for cartridges 2 of two different calibers c1, c2.
  • the cartridge 2 in production has a smaller caliber c1, for example cal. 12, and consequently, in order for the abutment bar 10 to rest against the cartridge 2, the space between this bar and the race 8 of the cartridges 2 must be minimized and therefore a spacer 14 having a body 14" of limited thickness s1 is used.
  • the cartridge 2 in production has a larger caliber c2, for example cal. 20, and therefore the abutment bar 10 must be positioned slightly retracted with respect to the front of the machine 1 and in the condition shown in Fig. 8 : in this case a spacer 14 having a body 14" with increased thickness s2 must be used in order to move the abutment bar 10 slightly farther from the race 8 of the cartridges 2 and offset the increase in caliber c2 of the new cartridge 2 to be manufactured.
  • Operation of the loading machine 1 and, in particular, the method of preparing the machine 1 during each caliber change of the cartridges 2 is as follows.
  • the operator After stopping the machine, the operator must move the conveyor guide 9 away from the race 8 of the cartridges: standing in front of the machine 1 and loosening the respective fastening means 16, 17, with a simple movement the operator slides the conveyor guide 9 towards him/her, releasing the race 8 from any obstructions.
  • the operator selects a pair of spacers 14, evaluating the thicknesses s, s1, s2 of the respective bodies 14" based on the caliber c, c1, c2 of the cartridges 2 to be processed subsequently, and positions them in the housings 15 produced in the frame 3 of the loading machine 1 parallel to the race 8 of the cartridges.
  • the operator After fastening the feet 14' of the spacers 14 stably by means of screws, the operator once again operates the pneumatic cylinders 13 so that they push the abutment bar 10 forward, until it rests and abuts against the body 14" of the spacers.
  • these operations to prepare the loading machine 1 can be carried out in very short times, in the order of a few minutes, without the requiring verification and alignment instruments, speeding up and considerably simplifying operations that with conventional technologies require hours, as well as skilled personnel and appropriate instruments.
