- the method provides for the simultaneous performance of the cutting step and of the feed step, namely the making of the hole 11 while the tape 10 advances.
- the vertical component provides for performing the cutting step by making the punch 30 engage the tape 10 and the die 20 making the hole 11, and subsequently reverses such stroke, disengaging from the tape 10 and from the feed member 50.
- the horizontal component using the engagement of the bodies 51 and 52 both to the tape 10 and to the punch 30, makes the punch 30, the die 20 and the bodies 51 and 52 and the tape 10 advance preventing their reciprocal sliding.
- the feed step ends and the separation step begins in which the punch 30 and the die 20 complete their eccentric movement moving the bodies 51 and 52 away from the tape 10.

- the invention entails some important advantages.
- a first important advantage lies in the fact that the movement described of the punch 30 allows it to cause the advancement of the tape 10 thus automatically aligning the dragging of the tape and the punching thereof. This characteristic makes it possible to avoid any relative movement between the punch 30 and the tape and, thus, to perform extremely precise shearing, i.e. free of burrs or other defects, which characterise the holes made with the known shearing devices.
- this aspect is additionally ensured by the presence of the elastic means 53 and 54 which, being compressed during the feed step, increase the clamping force of the bodies 51 and 52 to the tape 10 by preventing mutual slippage between them even during cutting.

Description
- The present invention relates to a shearing device for a band and the like as recited in the preamble of the first claim.
- Similar devices are described in the patent documents
US-A-3264920 ,US-B-7117777 ,EP-A-2283944 andUS-A-4485709 .In particular, the invention relates to a particular device suitable to perform a shearing process of a band or tape and, in particular, to make appropriately spaced holes or slots on a metal tape. - As known, the shearing devices currently on the market comprise two main components: a movement apparatus suitable to move the band to be machined; and a cutting apparatus suitable to make the holes on the band.
- In particular, the movement apparatus has a plurality of rollers, of which at least one motorised, suitable to move the tape and, in particular to flatten the tape so that it reaches the cutting apparatus almost perfectly flat.
- The cutting apparatus comprises a support surface along which the tape travels; a die; and a punch suitable to be moved vertically so as to couple to the die and perform cutting of the band.
- The functioning of such devices provides that the movement apparatus moves the tape so that the point in which to make the hole is positioned between the die and punch.
- After reaching such configuration, the tape is stopped and the punch is moved vertically so as to engage the die and, consequently, shear the tape making the hole.
- The prior art described above has several significant drawbacks.
- A first important drawback is represented by the fact that the known shearing devices, on account of the need to stop the stroke of the tape during shearing, are slow and, consequently, characterised by relatively low productivity.
- Another drawback is therefore represented by the fact that the production of perforated tapes and, therefore, the tapes themselves are characterised by high production costs.
- A further drawback is represented by the fact that, at the moment of shearing, the tape is not completely aligned with the punch and, consequently, the holes thus made are not homogeneous in structure, spacing and shape and, above all, have burrs or other similar defects of workmanship.
- In this situation the technical purpose of the present invention is to devise a shearing device for band or tape and the like able to substantially overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
- Within the sphere of said technical purpose one important aim of the invention is to have a shearing device for tape which makes it possible to obtain tapes of high quality, in particular with homogeneous spacing and machining characteristics as required.
- Another important aim of the invention is to obtain a shearing device, which makes it possible to obtain high quality tapes at reduced cost.
- The technical purpose and specified aims are achieved by a shearing device for band as claimed in the appended
Claim 1. - Preferred embodiments are described in the dependent claims.
- The characteristics and advantages of the invention are made clearer in the detailed description below of a preferred embodiment of the invention, with reference to the appended drawings, wherein:
-
Fig. 1 shows a shearing device according to the invention; -
Fig. 2 shows the shearing device in a different configuration; -
Fig. 3 shows another configuration of the shearing device for tape according to the invention; and -
Fig. 4 shows a further configuration of the shearing device. - With reference to said drawings,
reference numeral 1 globally denotes the shearing device for tape according to the invention. - It is suitable to be used for making
holes 11, slots or the like on a band ortape 10, sheet or other similar structure defining a lyingsurface 10a. - The
shearing device 1 comprises adie 20; apunch 30 suitable to be positioned opposite thedie 20 in relation to thetape 10 and defining apreferred extension axis 30a substantially transversal and preferably, substantially perpendicular to thesurface 10a; a support structure suitable keep at least thedie 20 and thepunch 30 in the correct position and provided withrollers 40 suitable to guide the movement of thebelt 10 keeping it appropriately flat; anadvancement member 50 suitable to move thetape 10 along afeed direction 10b substantially parallel to the lyingsurface 10a; and amovement system 60 suitable to reciprocally move thepunch 30 and die 20 defining, for thedevice 1, a rest configuration (Fig. 1 ) in which thepunch 30 and thedie 20 are spaced apart and a working configuration (Fig. 2 ) in which thepunch 30 and thedie 20 are reciprocally joined so as to shear theband 10. - The
movement system 60 is suitable to move at least thepunch 30 defining for it, advantageously, a translation movement along a trajectory at least partially substantially circular 30b, so that the movement of thepunch 30 follows the advancement of theband 10. - It, therefore, comprises a first rotating
body 61 defining arotation axis 61a appropriately substantially parallel to theflat surface 10a; and acam 62 positioned between thepunch 30 and therotating body 61 so as to vary the configuration of thedevice 1 through an eccentric rotation of thepunch 30 in relation to therotation axis 61 a. - Preferably, the
movement system 60 is suitable to move thepunch 30 and the die 20 eccentrically and simultaneously at substantially equal speeds. - As a result, the
system 60 includes, in addition to the aforesaid elements, a supplementaryrotating body 63 defining asupplementary rotation axis 63a substantially parallel to theaxis 61 a; asupplementary cam 64 positioned between thedie 20 and supplementaryrotating body 63; and a supplementary hinge suitable to allow thedie 20 to move with a translation along an at least partiallycircular trajectory 60b in relation to thesupplementary cam 64. - In particular, the trajectory of the matrix is circular truncated, i.e. the circle which defines the trajectory is cut along a chord parallel to the plane of the die as illustrated in
Figure 1 . - Appropriately, the
rotation axes rotating bodies - Lastly, the
movement system 60 has aguide 65 suitable to guide the movement of at least thepunch 30 so that, during its eccentric rotation, thepunch 30 is in the correct position relative to thetape 10 and, in detail, thepreferred extension axis 30a is always substantially perpendicular to the lyingsurface 10a. - In particular, in the case in which both the
punch 30 and thedie 20 rotate eccentrically in the movement system, theguide 65 is suitable to prevent a mutual rotation between thepunch 30 and die 20. - The
guide 65 comprises asupport 65a suitable to constrain thepunch 30 to thecam 61; ahinge 65b, for example, a bushing or a bearing, defining arelative rotation axis 65c of thesupport 65a in relation to thecam 61; asupplementary support 65d suitable to constrain thedie 20 to thesupplementary cam 64; asupplementary hinge 65e defining a relativesupplementary rotation axis 65f of thesupplementary support 65d in relation to thesupplementary cam 64; and one ormore profiles 65g suitable to permit a translation of thepunch 30 and thedie 20 in asliding direction 65h substantially perpendicular to thesurface 10a. Appropriately, therelative rotation axes punch 30 and thedie 20, on a plane substantially perpendicular to the lyingsurface 10a. - The
feed member 50 is suitable to move, at least by exploiting the eccentric movement of thepunch 30, thetape 10 along theadvancement direction 10b substantially perpendicular to theaxes punch 30, a constant feed of thetape 10 identifying the distance between twoholes 11 known as the pitch. - The
feed member 50 includes a movingbody 51 constrained to thepunch 30 and, in particular, to thesupport 65a so as to place itself between thetape 10 and saidpunch 30 and be moved by thesystem 60; and acontrast body 52 suitable to be placed on the side opposite the movingbody 51 in relation to thetape 10 so that thetape 10 can be clamped betweensaid bodies - The constraint between the
mobile body 51 and thepunch 30 is of the weak kind and, in detail suitable to allow the movingbody 51 to translate in relation to thepunch 30 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lyingsurface 10a and, in particular, along thesliding direction 65h. - As a result, the
feed member 50 presents, placed between the movingbody 51 andpunch 30,elastic means 53, preferably compression springs, appropriately connected to theprofiles 65g so that the movingbody 51 moves in relation to thepunch 30 solely in thesliding direction 65h. - It is identifiable in a plate defining a
contact surface 51a substantially parallel to the lyingsurface 10a and provided with athrough cavity 51b through which thepunch 30 engages thedie 20 shearing thetape 10. - Arranged on the side opposite the
body 51 in relation to thetape 10, thefeed member 50 presents thecontrast body 52. - The
contrast body 52 is suitable to be constrained to the support structure so as to remain substantially stationary during operation of thedevice 1. It therefore, comprises a roller conveyor or other similar component defining a sliding surface along which the movingbody 51 moves thetape 10. - Alternatively and preferably, the
contrast body 52 is connected to thedie 20 and, in particular, constrained to thesupplementary support 65d so as to be moved by exploiting the eccentric movement of the die. - In particular, the constraint between the
contrast body 52 andsupplementary support 65d is suitable to allow thecontrast body 52 to move in relation to thesupplementary support 65d in thesliding direction 65h. - To such purpose, the
member 50 comprises supplementary elastic means 54, preferably compression springs, positioned between thecontrast body 52 and die 20 and appropriately joined to theprofiles 65g so that thecontrast body 52 moves in relation to thedie 20 in thesliding direction 65h only. - The presence of the supplementary elastic means 54 causes the trajectory of the
die 20 to be circular truncated, as previously described. - The
contrast body 52 is also identifiable in a plate similar to that of the moving body and, therefore, defining asupplementary contact surface 52a substantially parallel to the lyingsurface 10a and provided with a through cavity identifying thedie 20 which thepunch 30 engages. - Additionally, the
shearing device 1 may comprise asupplementary feed member 70, movable independently of saidmovement system 60 and suitable to control, alternatively and/or together with thefeed member 50, the advancement of thetape 10 varying the pitch of theholes 11. - Said
supplementary feed body 70 comprises twocylinders 71, of which at least one motorised, suitable to clamp thetape 10 between them and to rotate around axes substantially parallel to thesurface 10a so as to move thetape 10 in thefeed direction 10b. - The shearing device for
tape 1, described above in a structural sense, defines through its operation, a new shearing method for tape. - The shearing method, exploiting the innovative translation along an eccentric
circular trajectory 30b of thepunch 30 and, preferably, of thedie 20, defines a sequence of steps carried out cyclically at each rotation of thepunch 30 and thedie 20 around therotation axes - This sequence of steps and, thus, the shearing method comprises an approach step in which the
bodies tape 10; a feed step in which only the punch and the die and the connectedbodies tape 10 advance, defining the pitch of theholes 11; a cutting step suitable to be performed in parallel with the feed step and in which thepunch 30 sheers thetape 10 making thehole 11; and a separation step in which thebodies tape 10. - In the approach step, the
movement system 60 moves thepunch 30 and thedie 20 eccentrically in relation to therotation axes lying surface 10a, which brings thebodies Fig. 2 ). - Once this configuration is reached, the approach step is completed and the feed step begins.
- In the feed step, the horizontal component of the translation with eccentric movement, namely the component of eccentric movement substantially parallel to the lying
surface 10a, translates thepunch 30, thematrix 20 and thebodies tape 10 advance in saidfeed direction 10b. Simultaneously, the vertical component of the eccentric translation together with theprofiles 65g, make thepunch 30 and thedie 20 move towards each other while translating in thesliding direction 65h, and thus, maintain substantially unchanged their inclination to the lyingsurface 10a. - In addition, the vertical component acting on the
bodies elastic means bodies tape 10. - When the
punch 30 comes substantially into contact with thetape 10, the method provides for the simultaneous performance of the cutting step and of the feed step, namely the making of thehole 11 while thetape 10 advances. - In fact, the vertical component provides for performing the cutting step by making the
punch 30 engage thetape 10 and thedie 20 making thehole 11, and subsequently reverses such stroke, disengaging from thetape 10 and from thefeed member 50. - Simultaneously, the horizontal component, using the engagement of the
bodies tape 10 and to thepunch 30, makes thepunch 30, thedie 20 and thebodies tape 10 advance preventing their reciprocal sliding. - Once the
punch 30 has been disengaged from thetape 10, the cutting step is concluded while the feed step continues until thebodies tape 10. - Once the
bodies Fig. 3 ) the feed step ends and the separation step begins in which thepunch 30 and thedie 20 complete their eccentric movement moving thebodies tape 10. - The shearing method may, lastly, comprises an adjustment step performed in parallel with the approach and/or detachment steps and in which the
supplementary feed member 70 varies the pitch of theholes 11 by moving thetape 10 when thebodies - In detail, in the adjustment step the
cylinders 71 rotate alternately in the same or opposite direction to that of the translation, actuating the system in reverse, according to aneccentric trajectory 30b of thepunch 30 and thedie 20 so as to determine a translation of thetape 10 having respectively the same or opposite direction to that of the feed step and, thus, increase or decrease the pitch of theholes 11. - It is thus possible to obtain a desired pitch or even a pitch varying in the desired manner. The invention entails some important advantages.
- A first important advantage lies in the fact that the movement described of the
punch 30 allows it to cause the advancement of thetape 10 thus automatically aligning the dragging of the tape and the punching thereof. This characteristic makes it possible to avoid any relative movement between thepunch 30 and the tape and, thus, to perform extremely precise shearing, i.e. free of burrs or other defects, which characterise the holes made with the known shearing devices. - This advantage is further increased by the presence of the
bodies tape 10 during the shearing and being constrained to thepunch 30 and thedie 20, make slippage between thetape 10 and punch 30 and, therefore, the formation of defects on thehole 11 almost impossible. - In detail, this aspect is additionally ensured by the presence of the elastic means 53 and 54 which, being compressed during the feed step, increase the clamping force of the
bodies tape 10 by preventing mutual slippage between them even during cutting. - Another advantage is identifiable in the high level of reliability and durability of the
shearing device 1. - This advantage is given by both the constructive simplicity of the
