  • the invention also relates to a method for producing a brush.
  • Such a brush manufacturing machine is known from DE 10 2014 103 599. It can be used to guide brushes, for example toothbrushes, household brushes or even brushes, along various processing stations, where a specific processing step is carried out in each case.
  • the guide block 10 Around the guide block 10 around several processing stations 14, 16, 18, 22, 24 are arranged. As the carriages 12 are moved around the guide block 10, they move past the processing stations.
  • the guide block 10 is provided with a guide 26, the function of which is to mount the carriages 12 movably on the guide block 10.
  • the guide 26 is intended to ensure, in particular, that the carriages 12 are guided precisely and with as little tolerance as possible.
  • the guide 26 may for example be designed as a guide rail on which the carriage 12 are guided with rollers, bearings or similar elements.
  • a drive device 28 is provided with which each carriage can be moved individually and individually around the guide block 10 around.
  • the only limitation on the individual mobility of the sled is that no sled can overtake the other. Otherwise, each slide can be moved individually and independently of the other slides in terms of travel and travel speed.
  • the drive device 28 can be formed, for example, by a drive motor on each carriage 12 which is coupled to a drive element, for example a drive wheel or a gear, which in turn cooperates with a corresponding counter element of the central guide block 10, for example a track or a rack.
  • the drive device 28 may also be designed as a linear motor, which is assigned to the carriage and this adjusted relative to the guide block 10 without contact.
  • the drive device 28 may also be formed by a plurality of belt drives, with which the carriage can be adjusted individually.
  • At least one tensioning device 30 for a brush body 32 is attached to each carriage 12. In the embodiment shown, two tensioning devices 30 are used per carriage. If necessary, more clamping devices can be provided.
  • Each tensioning device 30 can be pivoted or tilted about two axes.
  • a tilting device 36 is provided, with which each tensioning device 30 can be tilted about a tilting axis K.
  • the tilting axis K is aligned parallel to the adjustment of the carriage.
  • a pivoting device 38 is provided with which the clamping device 30 can be pivoted about a pivot axis S.
  • the pivot axis S is perpendicular to the adjustment direction V of the carriage 12th
  • a height adjustment 40 is provided, with which the carrier 34 can be adjusted in the vertical direction relative to the carriage 12, ie in the direction of the double arrow H.
  • the height adjustment 40 displaces the carrier 34 in the vertical direction, ie up and down.
  • the swiveling device 38 can pivot the clamping device 30 assigned to it in relation to FIG. 1 in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction about the pivot axis S (see also the double arrow S in FIG. 1).
  • the tilting device 36 can tilt the clamping device 30 associated therewith, with reference to FIG. 1, clockwise and counterclockwise about the tilting axis K (see also the double arrow K in FIG. 2).
  • the tensioning devices 30 are below the guide 26.
  • the controller 48 controls at what speed and with what steps the slides 12 move along the guide 26.
  • the processing stations can perform different processing steps.
  • the processing station 14 may be a loading station in which empty fixtures 30 are loaded with brush bodies 32 to be processed.
  • the processing station 16 is a drilling station in which a drill 17 is used to drill holes in the brush body 32 with a reciprocating motion along the direction of the double arrow B.
  • the brush base bodies 32 are adjusted by means of the height adjustment 40, for each row of holes to be drilled around the hole spacing.
  • the brush body 32 is tilted and / or pivoted by means of the tilting device 36 and the pivoting device 38 in a suitable manner.
  • the processing station 18 is a stuffing station in which a stuffing tool 52, in a reciprocating motion along the double arrow P, stuffs bundles of bristles 60 held in a hopper 54 into the holes of the brush body 32.
  • the brush body 32 is positioned relative to the tamping tool 52 by suitably activating the drive device 28, the height adjustment 40, the tilting device 36 and the pivoting device 38.
  • the processing station 22 is a trimming station in which the bristles 60 attached to the brush body 32 are cut and / or post-processed to obtain a desired length and / or profile.
  • the processing station 24 is a removal station in which brush bodies 32, which are understood to be finished with bristles 60, are removed.
  • the brush making machine may be coupled to an injection molding station such that in an adjacent injection molding station, the brush bodies are first injection molded or extrusions are molded onto previously prepared brush bodies. From the injection molding station, these brush bodies are then transported manually or, preferably fully automatically, to the brush-making machine and coupled into the brush-making machine in the loading station. This can be done in different ways. When the carriers do not leave the brush making machine, the brush bodies are inserted into the carriers in the brush making machine. In addition, the carriers could also be in the loading station in the Brush making machine already be loaded in loaded condition. In the embodiment shown, however, the carriers circulate in the brush making machine and thus do not leave it.
  • next-to-be-processed bristle base 32B is correspondingly pre-positioned by pivoting it counterclockwise from a neutral position to the position shown before the carriage 12B carrying it reaches the processing station 18. In this position, the longitudinal axis L of the first hole to be padded of the brush body B is aligned parallel to the stuffing direction P of the stuffing tool 52.
  • This pre-positioning can take place on the one hand during the feed movement from one processing station to the next, or by a short stop immediately before the subsequent processing station. This depends primarily on how far the processing stations are from each other and how time-consuming the pre-positioning, which in turn depends on the geometry of the brush to be produced.
  • the carriage 12A is further displaced in the direction of adjustment V, and at the same time, the carriage 12B is further displaced in the direction of adjustment V. Since the brush body 32B is already "properly" aligned, the tamping tool 52 can continue to operate without time delay In practice, the brush body 32B in the prepositioned state can be brought much closer to the currently processed brush body 32A than shown in Figure 3.
  • the brush body 32B is minimally displaced in the longitudinal direction (that is, in the adjustment direction V.)
  • the necessary adjustment is so small that the stuffing tool can continue to work continuously and the adjustment can be continued not or at least not noticeably different from the adjustment necessary when potting one and the same bristle base from hole to hole.
  • the invention provides for a brush manufacturing machine of the type mentioned that the tool is adjustable only along one direction.
  • the trimming station has a technically very simple structure. The movements necessary to trim the bristles are achieved, apart from the movement of the tool along the single direction, all by suitably adjusting the jigs which hold the brush body.
  • adjusting the tool for trimming the bristles is meant here that the tool is displaced during the cutting of the bristles, in contrast to a tool which is adjusted along the direction before the bristles are cut, but then during the cutting of the bristles
  • the height adjustment adjusts the tensioning devices in a direction perpendicular to the displacement direction of the carriages relative to the processing stations pivots an axis, which is aligned parallel to the displacement direction of the carriage.
  • the tilting device, the clamping devices are tilted about an axis which is perpendicular to the direction of adjustment of the carriage.
  • the tool is adjustable along the adjustment direction in a reciprocating movement. Such a movement can be realized with very little technical effort.
  • the adjustment direction is substantially perpendicular to a surface which is defined by the movement path of the carriage in the region of the trimming station.
  • the entire range of motion of the clamping devices can be optimally utilized.
  • the trim station is attached to the guide block. This results in a very compact design.
  • the tool points away from the guide block, so that it is accessible from the outside.
  • the different components for example, Bohroder stuffing tool
  • the tool no components of the brush manufacturing machine are in this embodiment. Therefore, the tool is optimally accessible from the outside, for example, for cleaning or replacement of wearing parts.
  • the carriage has a guide portion which is received in a guide of the guide block, and a holding portion on which a support for at least one clamping device for a brush body is arranged, wherein the holding portion can be rotated relative to the guide portion.
  • rotation between the holding portion and the guide portion ensures that in the arrangement of the tool of the trimming station no consideration must be taken to the orientation of the brush body;
  • the basic brush bodies can easily be turned in the direction required for machining.
  • the holding portion is preferably rotated relative to the guide portion about a vertical axis of rotation. This results in a minimal space requirement.
  • an actuator can be arranged on the carriage. This makes it possible to generate the desired movement directly between the two sections of the carriage.
  • the actuator is moved together with the corresponding slide, so that overall results in a very compact assembly.
  • the distance between the lower end of the holding portion and the bottom below the guide block is greater than 20 cm. This distance between the lower end of the holding portion and the bottom makes it possible to produce the bristles when trimming To remove bristle particles in a very simple manner, for example by sweeping below the brush making machine.
  • the space below the trim station is free. Thus, there are no disturbing components that could interfere with sweeping below the trim station.
  • the trim station is arranged on one side of the guide block and a stuffing and / or a drilling station on another side of the guide block.
  • the stuffing station and the drilling station are arranged on one side of the guide block, which is opposite to the side on which the post-processing station is arranged.
  • a method for producing a brush is provided according to the invention, in particular by means of a brush manufacturing machine of the type described above, in which a bristle brush body is fitted in a first orientation relative to a guide block of the brush making machine and relative to the guide block in a second orientation is rotated before the bristles are cut and / or reworked in a trimming station.

  • the brush bodies are guided on the guide block by means of a carriage having a guide portion and a holding portion, wherein the holding portion is rotated relative to the guide portion by 180 ° to move from the first orientation to the second orientation.
  • the tools of the trimming station can be directed outwards, ie away from the guide block, so that they are optimally accessible for maintenance and cleaning.
  • the brush body is in the first orientation away from the guide block aligned and aligned in the second orientation to the guide block.
  • FIG. 1 shows the above-described known brush-making machine in a schematic plan view
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows a section along the line II-II of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows an enlarged view of a processing station with a currently processed bristle base body and a pre-positioned, then to be processed bristle base body.
  • - Figure 4 is a view corresponding to that of Figure 1, a brush manufacturing machine according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are schematic side views of the trimming station of the brush manufacturing machine of Figure 4, wherein two brushes are available for processing.
  • a brush manufacturing machine according to the invention will be explained with reference to FIGS 4 and 5.
  • the same reference numerals are used for the components known from FIGS. 1 to 3, and to that extent reference is made to the above explanations.
  • a difference from the known brush making machine is that the trimming station 22 is located separate from the drilling station 16 and the stuffing station 18. As can be seen in Figure 4, the brush body 32, when provided with the bristles 60, is moved from the stuffing station 18 to another side of the guide block 10 to arrive at the trimming station 22.
  • the trim station 22 is here arranged on one side of the guide block 10, which is opposite to the side on which the stuffing station 18 is located.
  • Another difference to the known brush making machine is that the orientation of the brush bodies 32 when in the trim station 22 is different from the orientation of the brush bodies 32 when in the stuffing station 18. In the stuffing station 18, the brush body 32 are directed outwards, ie away from the guide block 10.
  • the brush base bodies 32 are directed inwards, ie to the guide block 10. This can be seen particularly well by comparing the brush base body 32 shown on the left in FIG. 4, which is currently moved between the stuffing station 18 and the trim station 22 the brush body 32, which is located in the trim station 22. For better clarity, the carriage for the brush body 32, which is currently in the trim station 22, not shown.
  • FIG. 5 shows the construction of the carriage 12, with which the brush base bodies 32 from the first orientation, as used in the region of the drilling station 16 and the stuffing station 18, can be turned to the second orientation, as in the region of the trimming station 22 is used.
  • the carriage 12 has a guide portion 55 which engages the guide 26 on the guide block 10. With the guide portion 55 is connected via a schematically illustrated pivot bearing 56, a holding portion 57, on which the clamping devices 30 are mounted for the brush body 32 in the same manner, as is known from Figures 1 to 3.
  • the pivot bearing 56 defines a pivot axis S about which the holding portion 57 can be pivoted relative to the guide portion 55.
  • the axis of rotation S is vertically aligned here.
  • a pivot drive 58 which has, for example, a stepping motor 59 with a gear 61 which engages in a toothed ring 62.
  • the stepper motor 59 on the guide portion 55 and the ring gear 62 on the holding portion 57 are attached.
  • the pivot drive 58 replaces the pivoting devices 38 known from FIGS. 1 to 3, with which the tensioning devices 30 were pivoted relative to the carrier 34.
  • the entire structure with carrier, tilting devices and clamping devices is pivoted relative to the part of the carriage 12, which engages in the guide 26 on the fixed guide block 10.
  • the trimming station 22 has a tool 70 for each brush body 32 offered for processing.
  • This may be a knife set, with which the bristles 60 are cut in a suitable manner.
  • the tool 70 may alternatively or additionally also have blades for slitting the bristles or other tools for cutting, profiling and / or slitting the bristles in the desired manner.
  • the trim station 22 is, as can be seen in particular in Figure 5, attached to the guide block 10. This represents a decisive difference to the two other processing stations 16, 18, which are arranged away from the guide block 10, that is, at a distance from the latter, through which the brush main bodies 32 are moved.
  • the particular advantage of the arrangement of the trimming station 22 on the guide block 10 is that the tools 70 are very accessible if they are not covered by a carriage 12. Therefore, in the case of maintenance or repair, it is not necessary to work in the gap between the corresponding processing station and the guide block 10.
  • a particular feature of the trimming station 22 is that the tools 70 (ie the blade sets) can be adjusted in exactly one direction, namely along the direction indicated by the arrows T. It is a reciprocating adjustment along a horizontal direction, which points from the guide block 10 to the outside. This direction is here substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the carriage 12 moves in the region of the trimming station 22.
  • the movement of the tools is generated by here only schematically indicated actuators 72. Overall, this results in a simple construction. It is sufficient to adjust the tools 70 of the trimming station 22 along only a single direction, since all other required movements are represented by the adjustment possibilities of the tensioning devices 30.
  • the brush main body 32 can be pivoted about the pivot axis S in the vertical direction.
  • the adjustment along the direction T is mainly required in order to compensate for the movement of the tips of the bristles towards the tools 70 and away from them, which results from pivoting of the brush body 32 about the axis K.
  • the same relationship exists as explained above with reference to FIG. 3: when the brush body 32 has been pivoted about the axis K, the outer bristles are closer to the guide block 10 than the bristles in the center of the brush body 32.
  • the brush body 32 and all parts of the carriage 12 are arranged at a comparatively large distance A above the ground. At the bottom itself, no components of the brush manufacturing machine are arranged. It is therefore very easy to eliminate the waste 80 resulting from the trimming of the bristles 60. This also applies to the drilling and stuffing stations 16, 18.
