Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a blanking unit, in particular to a blanking unit for a sheet material, for example metal sheet.
- The present invention finds a preferred, although not exclusive, application in a sheet blanking unit for the production of caps for the wine industry, which will be referred to in the following without any loss of generality.
- As already known, bottles of sparkling beverages, e.g. sparkling wines, are usually closed by means of stoppers made of cork or synthetic materials, retained on the neck of the bottle by metal wire cages. A shaped metal disc, or cap, is normally interposed between the stopper and the cage.
- The cages, and in particular the caps, are manufactured in automatic machines with an extremely high cadence, thus requiring an optimization of the sheet feeding and of the arrangement of the shearing areas. A quick, accurate and repeatable positioning of the sheet is therefore essential. The shearing is generally carried out by means of a material-saving cycle comprising the steps of obtaining a first row of discs arranged side by side in a direction perpendicular to the sheet feeding direction and of obtaining a second row of discs staggered by half a step with respect to the previous row.
- This cycle usually comprises a step advancement of the sheet in its feeding direction and a lateral translation of the sheet, once longitudinally arranged. Both movements are controlled by respective electric motors.
- The sheet step advancement is generally carried out by thrust means, each time operating in the free sheared holes.
- This known solution has two problems.
- The electric motors do not generally ensure a precise positioning of the sheet by varying the speed of the machine; therefore, errors can occur, in particular when the production starts again after a machine stop.
- Moreover, the sheet feeding from just-sheared holes propagates to the subsequent rows any longitudinal positioning error of the sheet, thus determining a progressive accumulation of errors.
- The object of the present invention is to obtain a more precise positioning of the sheet and a better repeatability.
- Said object is achieved by a blanking unit according to claim 1.
- For a better understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is described hereinafter by way of a non-limiting example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a blanking unit according to the present invention; -
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a shearing machine of the unit ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is a cross-section of the shearing machine ofFigure 2 ; -
Figure 4 is a top perspective view of a sheet feeding group of the unit ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 5 is a bottom perspective view of the group ofFigure 4 ; -
Figure 6 is a longitudinal section of the group ofFigure 4 ; -
Figure 7 is a top view of the sheet blanking carried out by the unit ofFigure 1 ; -
Figures 8a - 8f schematically show successive steps of the sheet feeding into the blanking unit ofFigure 1 ; and -
Figure 9 is a plan view of a cam driving the feeding group ofFigure 4 . -
Figure 1 shows a blanking unit 1 according to the invention, comprising ashearing machine 2 and afeeding group 3 of ametal sheet 4. Theshearing machine 2 is arranged in afree space 5 of thefeeding group 3. - For the sake of simplicity, a set of three coordinate axes x, y, z comprises x which is a horizontal axis parallel to the plane of the
sheet 4 and to the feeding direction of thesheet 4, y which is a horizontal axis parallel to the plane of thesheet 4 and orthogonal to the axis x, and z which is an axis perpendicular to x and y and parallel to the shearing direction. - Referring to
Figures 2 and3 , theshearing machine 2 comprises asupport structure 6 comprising in turn a mainvertical wall 7 parallel to the plane xz. Thestructure 6 further comprises alower wall 8 projecting from themain wall 7, close to its lower end, and supporting apunch 9 having a fixed axis A parallel to the axis z and constituting the shearing axis. Thestructure 6 also comprises a pair of parallelvertical walls 11 extending from thewall 7 above thelower wall 8. Thewalls 11 support apin 12 whose axis is parallel to the axis x on which arocker arm 13 is articulated. - An
end 14 of therocker arm 13 is coupled to an upper end of ahollow shaft 15, having an axis A, by means of apin 16. Theshaft 15 vertically slides along the axis A, in asupport 17 fixed to thewalls 11. Theshaft 15 has an inner chamber 18 (Figure 3 ) selectively connectable to a positive or negative pressure source. - A lower end of the
shaft 15 is coupled to adie 19, cooperating with thepunch 9 and containing astop rubber ring 21 for the sheared discs (Figure 3 ). - An
opposite end 22 of therocker arm 13 is coupled to arod 23 by a pin 24. Therod 23 is vertically slidable within asupport 25 integral with themain wall 7. At a lower end, therod 23 carries acam follower 26 driven by a cam, not shown, for operating theshearing machine 2. - Referring to
Figures 4 ,5 and6 , thefeeding group 3 comprises twoplates space 5 between them. Each of theplates top surface 29 on which thesheet 4 and alower surface 31 rest. Theplates guide 32 fixed to the structure of the unit 1. To this purpose, theplate 27 carries a pair ofcam follower cam 35 rotatable about an axis B parallel to the axis y and arranged below theplate 27. - The
cam 35 is defined by an annular rib radially projecting from acylindrical body 36 and having a variable profile in the direction y, with which thecam followers motion cylindrical body 36 is coupled through agrooved profile 37 to a shaft, for example a shaft of an electric motor, here not shown. Conveniently, this shaft also controls the actuating cam of theshearing machine 2 by means of a not shown synchronous transmission. - The
plate 28 carries athird cam follower 38 having a vertical axis cooperating with acam 39 defined by ashaped opening 41 formed in afixed plate 42, parallel to the plane xy and connected to the structure of the unit 1. With reference toFigures 5 and9 , theopening 41 is substantially parallelogram-shaped, with twobases oblique sides oblique side 45 extends beyond thebase 43 to form aguiding groove 50 provided with anoblique side 47, parallel to theoblique side 45, and anend portion 48 parallel to the bases and extending from thegroove 50 on the side opposite to the bases. Between thebase 44 and theoblique side 46, the opening 41 forms aloop 49 extending in the direction y beyond theoblique side 46. Theoblique side 45 and thebase 44 define as a whole afirst edge 60a, whereas theoblique sides base 43 define as a whole asecond edge 60b of theopening 41, the first and thesecond edges opening 41 along the direction x with opposite orientations. - The
cam follower 38 cyclically and continuously cooperates with the sides of the opening 41 as described hereinafter. - The plate 27 (
Figure 5 ) carries aslide 51, prismatically engaged with theguide 32 to slide in the direction y. - The
plate 27 also carries anadvancement mechanism 52 of thesheet 4 in the direction x. Themechanism 52 comprises aslide 53, slidably housed in alongitudinal seat 54 of theplate 27 and having a sequence offeeding teeth 55, each parallel to the direction y and equally spaced in the direction x by a step p equal to the advancement step of thesheet 4. - The
teeth 55 are vertically slidable withinrespective seats 56 of theslide 53 and are thrusted upwards by elastic means not shown to be able to protrude upwards relative to theslide 53 but to move back under the weight of thesheet 4. - The mechanism 52 (
Figure 6 ) also comprises afeeding group 57 comprising in turn ablock 58 sliding longitudinally in aguide 59 mounted in an end portion of theseat 54 on the opposite side with respect to thespace 5. Theblock 58 integrally carries a thrustingtooth 61 cooperating with an end edge of thesheet 9 and atooth 62 spaced from thetooth 61 by a step p and vertically retractable like theteeth 55. - The
block 58 is actuated by apneumatic cylinder 63 to move longitudinally with a reciprocating rectilinear motion within theguide 59 during the loading stage of anew sheet 4, as it will be better described below. -
Permanent magnets 64 are arranged at the sides of theseat 54 to attract thesheet 4, thus keeping it in contact with thesurface 29 of theplate 27. - The
mechanism 52 further comprises apneumatic cylinder 65, housed below theplate 28 and provided with a rod 66 constrained to theplate 28, and abarrel 67 in which the rod is telescopically slidable in a direction parallel to the axis x; thebarrel 67 is integral with aslide 68 movable along the axis x and driven by a pair ofbars respective guides plates - The
bar 72 longitudinally extends until connecting to ablock 69 fixed to theslide 53, which is therefore controlled by thecylinder 65. - A side guiding
device 75 of thesheet 4 is arranged on one side of theplate 27. Thedevice 75 comprises (Figures 4 and6 ) a pair oflevers support 81 fixed to theplate 27. Respectivefirst arms levers rod 82 of anair spring 83; respectivesecond arms levers respective rollers side edge 88 of thesheet 4 to keep anopposite side edge 89 in contact with alongitudinal guide 91 integral to theplate 27. - Two
projections 92 extending along the direction z are formed on theplate 28, close to theopen space 5, and engage with corresponding holes 93 of theplate 4. - The blanking unit 1 operates as follows.
- As already stated, the
cam 35 synchronously controls the lateral translation of theplates cylinder 65 controls the longitudinal advancement of thesheet 4 to carry out a cycle comprising the following steps: - shearing a first row of three
discs - longitudinally moving the
sheet 9 and shearing a second row of twodiscs holes teeth 55 and p/2 is at least equal to (d+g)/√2, where d is the diameter of the sheared discs and g is the distance defined above. - More in particular, with regard to the shearing
machine 2, the cam produces an alternative vertical translation of theshaft 23 which, through therocker arm 13, drives theshaft 15 carrying thedie 19. This latter, at each downward stroke, shears thesheet 4 placed between the die 19 and thepunch 9. - During the shearing operation, the sheared sheet discs remain attached to the
rubber ring 21 due to the depression created in thechamber 18. When theshaft 15 comes back to the rest position, a positive pressure is generated inside thechamber 18, so that the sheared disc is ejected and collected by a plate, not shown, which is cyclically interposed between thepunch 9 and thedie 19 and is part of a device transporting the sheared discs to a subsequent work station. - Since the shearing occurs in a fixed position, the
plate 4 must be moved both in the direction x and in the direction y. - The
sheet 4 is positioned on theplate 27 and constrained in the direction y by the contact with theguide 91 ensured by therollers device 75. Thesheet 4 is positioned above theteeth own end edge 94 close to thetooth 61, so that this latter, when actuated by thecylinder 63, comes in contact with saidend edge 94 and thrusts thesheet 4 in the direction x towards thespace 5, thus defining a starting position of the working cycle. - The handling of the sheet in the direction x and y is controlled by the
cams - The rotating
cam 35 controls, by means of thecam followers slide 51 and, therefore, of thewhole group 3. - The position of the
slide 53 along the direction x is controlled by the interaction of thecam follower 38, actuated by thecylinder 65, with theopening 41. Thecylinder 65 gives the cam follower 38 a movement in the direction x which, combined with the movement in the direction y of thewhole group 3, determines a closed trajectory of thecam follower 38 along the periphery of theopening 41, followed cyclically and step-by-step. -
Figures 8a-8f and9 show the effect of the combination of the movement between thecams cam follower 38, where thedisc 101 is sheared. Thesheet 4 is in contact with thetooth 61 and is blocked on theplate 27 by themagnets 64. Thereafter, thecylinder 65 thrusts thecam follower 38 while keeping it in contact with theoblique side 45 of theopening 41 and determining a translation in the direction x of theslide 53 in the direction opposite to the advancement of thesheet 4. Thesheet 4 is restrained by themagnets 64 and by theprojections 92 which prevent its movement while theslide 53 withdraws under thesheet 4 of a step p so as to allow thetooth 62 to come out of thesheet 4. - At the same time, the
group 3 is moved in the direction y until thecam follower 38 reaches a new position p102 for shearing thedisc 102; thereafter thegroup 3 is further moved in the direction y, without any movement in the direction x. When thecam follower 38 reaches a position p103, thedisc 103 is sheared. The first shearing series of three along the direction y is thus complete. - Now the
cylinder 65 drives the cam follower in the opposite direction, i.e. in the feeding direction of thesheet 4, while keeping it in contact with theoblique side 46 of theopening 41 while thecam 35 moves thegroup 3 in the direction y. During this operation, thetooth 62 moves thesheet 4 in the feeding direction x by half a step. When thecam follower 38 reaches a position p104, thedisc 104 is sheared. - The
cam 35 moves again thegroup 3 until bringing it in a position p105 where thedisc 105 is sheared. The second shearing series of two along the direction y is thus complete. - In a final step of the cycle, the
cam 35 moves thegroup 3 in the direction y, while thecylinder 65 keeps thecam follower 38 in contact with theside 47 of theopening 41. During this operation, thetooth 62 further thrusts the metal sheet by half a step in the direction x. Thecam follower 38 reaches again the cycle starting position p101 and the previously described operations are repeated. - With each successive cycle, the sheet advances by one step p thanks to the intervention of
successive teeth 55, each time exposed by the translation of theslide 53 in the direction opposite to the feeding direction. - The foregoing description clearly shows the advantages obtained by means of the blanking unit according to the present invention. In particular, by handling the sheet starting from one of its end edges, any position error occurred by shearing a disc does not propagate to all subsequent discs. Moreover, the use of a cam control allows a higher precision than the use of electric motors.
- It is clear that this exemplary embodiment may be subject to modifications or variations that fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims. For example, the
cams pneumatic cylinder 65 may be replaced by a different reciprocating linear actuator, electrical for example.
