Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a crease line pressing station of a folding box gluing machine, which can be used in particular also for pressing blanks from corrugated cardboard, and a folding box gluing machine.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for the production of corrugated board cartons using the creasing line press station according to the invention.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages described above and to provide a pressing device that allows both a crease line pressing and pressing as possible over as much as possible the blank width and requires no increased conversion effort and equipment expense.
  • the crease line pressing station has vertically movable lateral press rollers in order to press the respective blanks in the region of their outer creasing lines. Furthermore, the creasing line pressing station according to the invention has a middle press roller pair which can be used in addition to the side press rollers and which is formed from top and bottom middle press rolls with respect to the blank to be pressed, thus enabling simultaneous pressing of the folded blanks also in the central area of the blanks.
  • the term "creasing press station” in the present invention means such a station with which a pressing of folded blanks is accomplished with creasing lines already formed previously.
  • the creasing press station according to the invention is provided for pressing at least two-ply folds, which have been produced by folding along a score line. Another groove, so a formation of grooves or depressions in the folded blank is not provided according to the invention. Accordingly, in the present invention, the press rolls and press rolls each have no prominences for forming grooves in the folded blank. Furthermore, according to the invention, the score line pressing station has no additional tools for forming grooves or recesses in the blank. In an inventive Faltschachtelklebemaschine is the crease press station downstream of a folding station.
  • the side press rolls are vertically movable to allow for folding carton blanks of various thicknesses and materials.
  • the lateral press rolls are two pairs of side press rolls to press both outsides of the folded blank.
  • the middle press roll pair remaining in the press station of the present invention can optionally be used in press cutting in addition to the side press rolls. This is particularly necessary or useful when processing corrugated cardboard blanks when folding cartons are produced from corrugated cardboard or corrugated cardboard. Due to the additional use of the central roller pair, folded corrugated cardboard blanks can be pressed over their width in such a way that after pressing no or only small, tolerable differences in thickness across the width of the pressed blank are present. This facilitates subsequent stacking and packaging of the pressed carton blanks.
  • the creasing line press station makes it possible to press blanks in the region of their creasing lines through the lateral press rollers and at the same time through the middle press rollers, so that they are pressed substantially over their entire width, with areas which are only required for side walls and fixtures not being pressed.
  • the middle roller pair is usable in the present invention in addition to the side press roller pairs.
  • the crease line press station is automatically brought first into a mounting position, in order to facilitate a manual assembly or replacement of the Kalibrierpresswalzen.
  • the creasing line press station according to the invention can also be designed such that the press roller pair or the press rollers can be transferred to an inactive position without the rollers having to be completely removed from the press device. The transfer to an inactive position can be automated or manual.
  • the score line press station according to the invention can thus be designed as a variable and space-saving module.
  • the flexible use of the middle roller pair allows for its removal or transfer to an inactive position, the processing speed can be increased without significant time delay again for the crease line pressing.
  • the drive for the press rolls is preferably coupled to the drive of the crease line press station, so that no separate drive for the middle press rolls is required and the middle press rolls are driven by the drive for the side press rolls.
  • the connection is preferably via a releasable positive connection. It is also possible according to the invention to provide its own drive for the middle press rolls.
  • the lateral press rollers of the crease line press station and the middle press rollers are dimensioned and positioned so that a pressing of the folded blanks is made possible substantially over the entire width of the blanks.
  • the press rolls of the Rilllinenpressstation and the middle press rolls further preferably have the same diameter or approximately the same diameter.
  • the middle press rollers can be brought by means of a suitable fixing device in a matching with the Rilllinenpressstation alignment. This allows adjustment and, if necessary, correction of the press nip of all involved press rolls and press rolls.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a crease line press station according to the prior art with two lateral pairs of press rollers.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a crease line pressing station according to the embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows the construction of a crease line press station according to the prior art for processing folded blanks from solid board.
  • Folded blanks run with their creasing areas through the side press roller pairs 2,2 ', each with an upper press roller 2 and lower press roller 2'.
  • the press rollers are driven via the drive 6 via a drive belt (not shown).
  • the lateral press rolls are held by means of the bearing 5, 5 '.
  • the mechanism 7 each including a spring allowing a predetermined deflection when passing through the blank.
  • FIG. 1 Pressing station shown does not allow the pressing of blanks in their central areas, as may be desired or required for blanks made of corrugated cardboard.
  • FIG. 2 3 shows a crease line press station 1 according to the invention which, in addition to the lateral press roller pairs 2, 2 ', has a central press roller pair 3, 3', which is formed by an upper press roller 3 and a lower press roller 3 'whose diameter is in each case the diameter of the lateral press rollers 2, 2 'corresponds.
  • the other ingredients are similar to those in FIG. 1 ,
  • the additionally present upper press roll 3 and lower press roll 3 ' are each connected via a releasable coupling with the lateral press roller pairs 2,2', which are driven by the drive 6. This allows an expansion of the press rolls 3,3 'or a transfer to an inactive position.
  • the machine speed can be up to 650 m / min when removing or inactivating the middle press rolls, for example, and up to 350 m / min when using the middle press rolls.
  • Blanks are preferably pressed in the region of their creasing lines by the lateral press rollers 2, 3 and at the same time by the press rollers 3, 3 ', so that they are largely pressed over their entire width, with only the area required for the side walls 10 and the walls of the holder 11 not be pressed.
