Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transferring group in a moulding line, especially it relates to a control system of the transferring group.
  • transferring groups advancing the pieces from a working position to the other are provided.
  • the transferring groups are provided with a plurality of openable and closable controlled grippers, which the mesh, the movement and the automatic release of the pieces are being achieved with.
  • grippers are controlled by a mechanical kinematic motion, provided with drive cams and a transmission rocking lever elastically pushed in a closing position of the gripper. This configuration turned out so far to be very stout and suitable to bear the working rhythm, even compatibly with the cross-transferring movement of the grippers.
  • FIG. 1 - representing a perspective view of a single control unit of a gripper of a prior art transferring group - the kinematic control chain of the gripper is being well represented.
  • a first drive lever provided with a yielding roller, receives the motion from a rotating cam profile and transfers it to a control end. The latter transfers a force directed on a vertical axis to a yielding end of a rocking lever, as opposed to a pneumatic cylinder loaded in the upward direction.
  • a rocking lever fulcrum is being assembled on a first ledger, movable in an alternate motion in a cross direction to the kinematic chain, so to implement the advancing alternating movement of the transferring group.
  • the grippers are being assembled on a second movable ledger, too, that moves with a parallel motion in relation to the first ledger.
  • the opposite control end of the rocking lever acts with an alternate vertical force on a sliding rod, that controls the closing (downward) and the opening (upward) of a clamping gripper of the pieces being processed.
  • a transferring group comprises, in a known way per se, a plurality of control units U, that open and close transferring grippers P.
  • the units U are assembled next to one another, and they each provide a kinematic chain transferring an opening/closing control from a respective controlled actuator M to the relevant gripper P.
  • first side transferring means typically a ledger T 1 movable with a reciprocating movement in a transferring direction.
  • Each gripper P presents two jaws being clamped or opened between each other by the drive of a movable control rod A in a control direction, usually an essentially vertical direction. Further details of the configuration of these grippers are not being provided in this context, because they are per se known in the field.
  • Each control rod A is guided in its motion from an appropriate pilot boss B.
  • a double engaging flange 1 is fixed, in which a fork 2 of a transmission rocking lever 3 is engageable.
  • the transmission rocking lever 3 is assembled being rocking around a fulcrum axis 4 orthogonal to the control direction of the rod A.
  • the fulcrum axis 4 is provided at the upper end of a bearing column 5.
  • the bearing columns 5 of all control units U are being constrained to the same second side transferring means, e.g. a second ledger T 2 movable with a alternating movement in the transferring direction.
  • the yielding end 6 of the rocking lever 3 is engaged with a first end 7 of a control lever 8.
  • the coupling means between the yielding end 6 of the rocking lever 3 and the first end 7 of the control lever 8 allow a maladjustment between the movement planes of the rocking lever and the lever, to support the relevant cross movements between rocking lever (movable with the second ledger T 2 ) and lever.
  • the lever 8 being generally L-shaped and tilting-assembled around a fulcrum axis 9 essentially centred-arranged in relation to the two arms of the L-shaped profile.
  • a second end 10 is provided being connected through an articulated rod 11 to a movable component of the actuator M.
  • the actuator M is a tubular linear motor.
  • the motor M comprises a stator 100, with the primary electric winding, and a slider 101, comprising permanent magnets, being designed to be reciprocally axially movable.
  • stator being shaped as a core cylindric body, while the slider 101 being composed of a series of permanent toroidal-shaped magnets, assembled parallelly among each other so to form a sleeve or a tubular coaxial body and longitudinally sliding on the stator 100.
  • tubular linear motor may indifferently provide configurations in which the primary or the secondary are fixed to a frame and may get the movement of the other one.
  • the illustrated configuration is being suitably selected, so to move the part with less inertia and/or that does not require a power supply with electric cables.
  • the cylindric stator 100 shows a rear flange 102a, being suitably constrained to a fixed structure of a frame of the machine.
  • the cylindric stator 100 is integral with a bearing column 102b integral to a terminal board 103 constrained to the same fixed structure od the frame of the machine.
  • the slider 101 shows a guide flange 104, from which, in a front direction, a front section 105 leans forward.
  • the latter presents a longitudinal groove in which the bearing column 102b is being positioned.
  • the guide flange 104 is integral to a saddle 104a being slidingly assembled on the terminal board 103. Further, the saddle 104a presents a connection bridge 104b to the slider body.
  • the front section 105 of the slider 101 is constrained to the articulated rod 11: therefore, the linear movement of the slider 101 on the stator 100 is being transmitted to the control lever 8 rotating around its own fulcrum axis 9.
  • the actuator unit M comprises a linear position transducer 106, detecting the position of the slider in relation to the stator.
  • a transducer 106 detector is installed on the fixed terminal board 103 near the saddle 104a and it detects the position of a feedback element (e.g. a magnet) integral in the movement to the saddle 104a.
  • a zero-setting thickness 107 is preferably provided, assembled on the rear flange 102a so to determine a bottom striking surface of the rear stroke for the slider.
  • tubular linear motor M can cause the movable part to execute an alternating linear movement, that is the slider 101 in relation to the stator 100.
  • the motor being programmed to execute a prefixed active run, for example a 34 mm long run.
  • the position of the slider 101 being detected and feedback-managed by means of a position signal coming from the linear position transducer 106.
  • control logic At the ignition of the system the control logic is being set to bring the slider (or secondary) "striking" all backward on the zero-setting thickness 107, then it executes a little forward run, e.g. a 1 mm long one; this is the zero-position of the actuator M; from this zero-position the motor may perform its active run, e.g. a 34 mm long one.
  • the back-and-forth movement of the slider 101 and of its front section 105 determines the tilting movement of the rocking lever 3 and therefore it moves downward and upward, respectively, the control rod A determining the closing ( fig. 4 ) and the opening ( fig. 3 ) of the gripper P.
