Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cutting device for cutting floor coverings, in particular design floor coverings.
  • the invention also relates to a method for cutting floor coverings, in particular design floor coverings, wherein a floor covering web is provided in a transport plane and a cutting line is generated by means of a cutting unit.
  • a cutting device for cutting floor coverings is known, by means of which only edge strips are to be separated from a floor covering sheet so that the floor covering sheet can be attached directly to a baseboard with its separated edge side.
  • the known cutting device is thus intended for operation at the installation site of the floor covering.
  • the EP 0 737 553 A1 discloses a cutting device for cutting web-shaped goods, with cutting units arranged one behind the other in the transport direction being provided.
  • One cutting unit replaces another cutting unit if, due to a change of order, the web-shaped product has to be cut into other partial webs or the width of the edge to be separated changes.
  • the transition from the cutting line of one cutting unit to the cutting line of the other cutting unit takes place via a curved cutting line of a high-pressure water jet.
  • the object of the present invention is to specify a cutting device for cutting floor coverings or a method for cutting the same, so that in the industrial production of floor coverings, the same can be cut cleanly and with little loss from a floor covering web.
  • a cutting device which provides transport means for transporting a floor covering web in a predetermined transport direction.
  • a plurality of cutting units are arranged one behind the other in the transport direction, the cutting units being positioned laterally offset in a transverse direction running transversely to the transport direction.
  • This allows partial webs to be cut in a predetermined width, so that a plurality of floor coverings of predetermined, preferably the same width can be deposited at an exit of the cutting device.
  • several cuts can advantageously be carried out at the same time, which are each carried out in the same plane, namely in the transport path.
  • the cutting units can be positioned by adjusting means so that partial webs and therefore floor coverings of any width can be created.
  • the adjusting means are designed in such a way that a first cutting unit at the rear in the transport direction is arranged in the area of a first edge side of the cutting device and that further cutting units are offset in the transverse direction to the first cutting unit at an increasing lateral distance to the first cutting unit.
  • the cuts are not started simultaneously, but one after the other. In this way, straight and low-loss cuts can advantageously be produced.
  • the adjusting means are designed or controlled in such a way that the cutting units are arranged at the same transverse distance from one another. This means that partial lengths and thus finished floor coverings of the same width can be created.
  • the cutting unit together with the transport means and adjusting means, forms a common structural unit or a cutting module.
  • Several cutting modules can be arranged one behind the other in the transport direction.
  • the cutting device thus has a modular structure, so that there is simply great variability with regard to the number of cutting lines or widths of the floor coverings, cost-effectively and depending on the desired throughput.
  • the cutting units each have a pair of cutting rollers which are arranged one above the other in the vertical direction.
  • the cutting rollers enable a cut to be made free of material loss.
  • the material loss can advantageously be reduced to almost zero.
  • At least two cutting modules are arranged side by side in the transverse direction.
  • a floor covering web can advantageously be cut through symmetrically to a vertical plane running in the direction of transport, preferably from the outside to the inside.
  • a method according to claim 7 is also proposed to solve this problem.
  • the floor covering web is cut sequentially in one transport direction.
  • the cutting lines are not only arranged laterally, that is to say in the transverse direction, offset to one another, but are started one after the other in the cutting device. Due to the time offset, cuts of the floor covering strip to floor coverings of a given width are created gently and without loss of material. Further advantages result from the further subclaims.
  • a cutting device for cutting floor coverings 1 is used in particular for cutting design floor coverings, that is to say plastic or plastic composite material coverings. Alternatively, real wood floor coverings, laminate floors or the like can also be cut.
  • the cutting device has a carrier 2, which is designed as a support frame, with an input guide 3 and with an output guide 4 arranged at the front in the transport direction T.
  • the inlet guide 3 and the outlet guide 4 are formed by two rollers 5 arranged one above the other in the vertical direction, between which a floor covering web 6 is guided in a transport plane E.
  • the input guide 3 is located at an input of the cutting device at which the floor covering web 6 of the cutting device is provided.
  • the output guide 4 is located at an output of the cutting device, to which a tray 7 for the separate floor coverings 1 is connected.
  • a plurality of cutting modules 8 are arranged between the inlet guide 3 and the outlet guide 4, each of which has a cutting unit 9, Have transport means 10 and actuating means 11.
  • a pair of cutting units 9 are arranged next to one another in a transverse direction Q running transversely to the transport direction T. In this way, several cuts 13 can be produced on the floor covering web 6 parallel to one another.
  • two cutting units 9 are arranged next to one another and eight cutting units 9 one behind the other, specifically in the horizontal transport plane E. If necessary, the number can vary.
  • the cutting unit 9 has two cutting rollers 12 which are arranged vertically one above the other and which are virtually directly adjacent to one another. If the floor covering web 6 is moved towards the cutting unit 9 by means of the transport means 10 designed as front rollers, a point of contact of the cutting rollers 12 lies in the transport plane E, so that the floor covering web 6 is separated into partial webs 14 by material thinning on the cutting rollers 12 without loss of material.
  • Out Figure 3 it can be seen that the cutting of the floor covering web 6 into several partial webs 14 is not started at the same time, but sequentially from a first edge side 15 and from a second edge side 16 of the floor covering web 6 or the cutting device to a central area 17 of the floor covering web 6 or the cutting device.
  • a cutting unit 9 'facing the first edge side 15 or the second edge side 16 at a side distance y 1 detects and executes the cutting line 13 earlier than a second cutting unit 9 ′′, which is at a greater side distance y 2 from the first edge side 15 or second edge side 16.
  • the cutting lines 13 are thus carried out on the floor covering strip 6 from the outside to the inside.
  • the start of the cutting line 13 on the floor covering strip 6 does not occur simultaneously.
  • the partial strips 14 can advantageously keep one another at a distance so that the floor covering strip 6 can be applied with a clean and material loss-free cut or cutting lines 13.
  • the middle area 17 of the floor covering web 6 coincides with a center line 18 of the cutting device, which runs in the transport direction T.
  • a transverse distance ⁇ y between the cutting units 9 which are adjacent in the transport direction T or projected in a vertical plane is of the same size.
  • the lateral distance y 1 , y 2 , y n of the cutting unit 9 starting from the first edge side 15 or second edge side 16 of the cutting device or increases gradually in the transport direction T until the last cutting unit 9 in the transport direction T is in an area close to the central plane 18 is arranged.
  • the cutting units 9 are thus arranged symmetrically with respect to the central plane 18 of the cutting device.
  • the cutting units 9 can also be gradually offset from one another, forming an increasing distance from the first edge side 15, until a cutting unit 9, which is front in the transport direction T, is arranged in the area of the opposite second edge side 16.
  • the cutting process is as follows.
  • the floor covering web 6 is preferably fed as a plate via the entry guide 3 in the transport plane E of the cutting device.
  • cuts 13 are made in the area of the first edge side 15 and the second edge side 16 of the floor covering web 6.
  • a second cutting line 13 is initiated which is offset by the lateral distance ⁇ y to the cutting line 13 generated by the first cutting unit 9 ' This defines a width b of the partial webs 14.
  • the start of further cutting lines 13 occurs, so that when the transport direction T front cutting unit 9 a simultaneous cutting of the floor covering web 6 of all partial webs 14 takes place. If a length of the floor covering web 6 is less than a length I of the cutting device, the edge-side partial webs 14 are already cut to size before the middle partial web 14 receives the cutting line 13.
  • the cutting device is preferably designed in such a way that the length I of the cutting device is greater than the length of the floor covering web 6.
