Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a container cutting die, which has features suitable for making a cut in plastic materials for example PLA, PET, PPtype materials and other complex films of different structures and thicknesses, particularly applicable in the manufacture of packages for food use; with the guiding and shapes of punch holders, punches and blades with an opening of less than 10 millimetres.
  • This invention is applicable in machines for cutting containers and preferably, though not in a limiting manner, of containers intended for the food industry.
  • cutting dies provided with a die plate and a punch and blade holder plate, enabled for relative movement with respect to the die plate between: an inoperative or open position, and an operative closed position in which the blades and punches make the cut and/or precut on the material of the containers.
  • the forward positioning of the blades with respect to the punch and blade holder plate is 20 to 25 millimetres; with this length and given that the cross section of the blades is smaller than the cross section of the punches, said blades are very sensitive to lateral forces produced during cutting or precutting operations of the containers, so there is a risk of interference of the blades with the die plate during the forward movement thereof towards the closed position, which causes accelerated deterioration of the cutting edge of the blades and a low quality of the cut made by said blades.
  • FR3022818 discloses a device for cutting multiple objects from a sheet material by means of a press: comprising a matrix with cutting edges with openings arranged at regular intervals and grooves located between the openings and connecting the openings; comprising a set of punches with cutting edges and knives, arranged in a geometry conjugated with that of the matrix with a cutting clearance between the cutting edges of the knives and punches and those of the matrix; allowing a linear relative movement of the knives and punches towards the die and ensuring the cutting and pre-cutting of several objects by penetration of the edges of the punches and knives into the die, all in a single cutting operation.
  • FR2636256 refers to a device which makes it possible to fix elements such as punches 4, the cross-section or material of which does not permit the insertion of screws suitable for fixing them. It consists of two complementary blocks 1 and 2 forming a straight parallelepiped contained in a housing (b) adjacent to housing (a) which receives the punch 4 to be fixed, and at least one screw 5 capable of driving the movable block 1 along its inclined face, thus causing the punch 4 to be blocked by pinching.
  • the cutting die object of the present invention comprising a die plate and a punch and blade holder plate, has improved features in relation to the blades of the punch holder plate, aimed at preventing the bending of the cutting blades and possible interferences with the die plate; and accordingly increasing cutting duration and precision.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide the blades with a shape that ensures better guiding and especially a perfect housing in the punch plate and the blades.
  • Another objective of the invention is to increase the service life and reliability of the precuts made by the blades in the containers.
  • the cutting blades have a body with a non-circular cross section housed in a tight manner and fixed in a housing having a cross section coinciding in shape and dimensions with the cross section of the body of the blades; such that the front end of the blades projects a distance of less than 10 millimetres from the punch and blade holder plate.
  • the forward positioning of the blades by a distance of less than 10 millimetres, instead of the 20 to 25 millimetres observed in dies existing on the market, prevents said blades from being able to laterally bend due to the lateral forces which are produced during cutting or precutting of the containers, thereby preventing the risk of interference of the edge of the blades with the die plate, so a very long service life of the blades and a much higher quality of the cut container or product are assured.
  • the housing of the punch and blade holder plate and the body of the blades have a rectangular cross section, ensuring better guiding and particularly a perfect housing of the blades by performing at the same time and in the same machine of the punch and blade holder plate other machining for columns and fasteners of the punch and blade holder plate.
  • the mentioned rectangular cross section of the blades and of the housings of the punch and blade holder plate provides a very high precision in the positioning of the blades.
  • the cutting die for containers comprises a die plate (1) and a punch and blade holder plate (2) enabled for relative movement between an inoperative or open position, depicted in Figure 1 , in which the blades (3) and the punches (4) of the plate (2) are spaced from the die plate (1), and an operative closed position, depicted in Figure 2 , in which the blades (3) and the punches (4) make, in combination with the die plate (1), cuts and/or precuts in the containers (not depicted) previously positioned in the die plate (1).
  • the blades (3) have a body (31) with a non-circular cross section, in this specific case rectangular cross section, housed in a tight manner and fixed with the possibility of being extracted in a housing (21) of the punch and blade holder plate (2) such that in the assembly position, shown in Figures 1 and 4 , the front end (32) of the blades (3) projects a distance of less than 10 millimetres from the punch and blade holder plate (2).
  • the mentioned front end (32) of the blades (3) projects 7 millimetres from the punch and blade holder plate (2), this length being sufficient to assure correct operation of the die, making the cut or precut in the material of the container and preventing the lateral bending or deviation of the blades, and the deterioration of their cutting edge, due to the lateral stresses produced during cutting or precutting of the containers.
  • the blades (3) are fixed at their rear end by a removable clamping element (5), depicted by a screw which passes through a separator (51) and is screwed onto the rear end of the corresponding blade (3).
  • the assembly of the clamping element or screw (5) and of the separator element is done at the upper part of the punch and blade holder plate (2) by contacting the mentioned separator (51) in the front portion with a step acting as a stop defined in the mentioned punch and blade holder plate (2).
  • the blades (3) are manufactured in high mechanical strength metal carbide for the purpose of assuring the durability of the cutting edge.
