Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus for forming and conveying cakes such as soap.

Various devices are known for the molding and subsequent removal (from the molding operating area) of soaps and the like, and although such devices have a certain output potential, generally... There was a problem in that the quality of the product was inversely proportional to the range of use of the potential output capacity.

In fact, high production rates also involve molding and demolishing soap cakes at high rates, but performing such operations requires appropriate maintenance if quality is to be maintained. The use of technical equipment is required. In particular, when it comes to Toilet River Soap cakes, the precision of molding is reflected in the aesthetics of the final product, but quality plays an important role. However, conventional devices have a technical drawback in that it is difficult to output an output of acceptable quality.

Furthermore, with regard to high production rates, there were some disadvantages of the pond species that could not be ignored, such as the somewhat inefficient means for removing the molded soap cake from the molding working area. Although these means are very simple, it is difficult to carry out high-speed conveyance without risking some damage to the sticky cake being conveyed.

In view of the problems mentioned above, it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus that is capable of achieving a high production rate without impairing the quality of the final product.

Another object of the invention is to provide an apparatus with high production flexibility.

A further object of the invention is to provide such a device which makes it possible to minimize the removal time while maintaining a high quality of the final product.

An important object of the invention is to provide a device of simple and rational construction.

These and other objectives are accomplished by an apparatus for forming and conveying soap cakes and the like, as described below. This device includes: a first conveying means for conveying unmolded soap, a @2 conveying means for conveying a molded soap cake, and is installed between the first and second conveying means, and is mounted on a rotating shaft. In a position that is biased against the
a rotor having a soap cake forming means connected to a vacuum supply means; further, a counter means provided near the rotor to cooperate with the soap cake forming means; and third means for removing the molded soap cake, which is provided near the second conveying means for placing the soap cake on the second conveying means.

Additionally, although not absolute - by way of example and appendix 1.
''Various effects and advantages of the preferred embodiments of the invention, which are not limited to those shown in the drawings, will become clearer at once.

1 and 2 there are shown two consecutive horizontally installed conveyor belts 1 and U2 parallel to each other, each conveyor belt 1 and 2 carrying a molded soap cake, respectively. 3 and unmolded soap (Soap
blank). The latter unmolded soap is held by a positioning tool 19 at the end of the movement.

The rotor 5 installed between the above-mentioned continuous conveyor belts has its axis parallel and horizontal to both the belts 1 and 2, and has rolling bearings 7 and 8.
It is mounted on a shaft 6 which is driven within the shaft. The rotor 5 carries mold halves 9 and 1o which are diametrically opposed and have recesses 11 and 12. Such a mold half member 9I
9, 1, -4- () serve as soap cake molding means and are connected to suction means for applying a vacuum state fτ1.

- By way of example, pneumatic conduits 13 and 14 are formed in the rotor 5 and the shaft 6, and -1 openings to the receiving parts 11 and 12 are provided.

The mold half-split members 9 and 10, which are disposed at a diameter of 10 mm, have axes that are perpendicular to the axis of the rotor 5. and a counter member in the form of a removal arm 15 located on the belt 1- (after the removal of the soap cake) and a counter member in the form of a removal arm 15 located on the belt 1-, and means for the removal of the soap cake in the form of a punch 16 located on the outside of the belt 2 and carrying the aligned mold halves 17. It is coaxial with.

The removal arm member 15 and the punch removal tool 16 are adapted to move along their respective axes (FIG. 3). Furthermore, said arm member 15, which has a suction camp formed at one end to fit snugly against the soap cake, is also rotatable in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotor 5. (Fig. 4) and an inner tubular cavity 1 connected to a known vacuum state generating means.
)3.

The above device operates as follows.

At a certain point in time, the unmolded soap held and placed in the can by the positioning tool 11 is pressed toward the mold half member 10 of the rotor by the punching tool 16, and is molded by the molding action. At the same time, a suction operation 5 is carried out so as to induce a vacuum condition in the receiving part 12 via the air pressure conduit 14. At the same time, arm portion 4. t i 5 moves along its own axis towards the rotor and through its tubular pneumatic cavity 18,
A suction operation is performed on the soap cake released from the mold half (1) (molded during the -2 cycle).

Upon completion of the above molding step, the punching tool 16 and the arm member 1! '1 return to their initial positions, and the rotor 5 rotates counterclockwise (Fig.
Rotate 80°. At the same time, the detachable arm members 15 each hold a soap cake at a time 81 and 9 times apart.
Rotate 0 degrees, and then turn the soap cake 3) 1.
- After being lowered to -, each suction action is stopped and rotation is made to rotate 90° around #1 and return to the horizontal position.

At this position, the above-mentioned "Noikle" is repeated again, and a new soap parison is formed in the same manner as described in Section 2.

As already mentioned, the moldings may be in two or more parts, always attached diametrically to the removable arm member: e.g.
There may be 2 pairs or 4 pieces.

If the operating mode is non-alternating, the production volume will be significantly increased.

In this way, the invention achieves its objective. In fact, the present invention provides a device which operates very accurately and which, by being equipped with suction means, can detect when the rotor 5 is operating at its maximum speed. even,
Prevents loss or loss of any soap cake.

This invention can be modified and modified in various ways without departing from the scope of the invention.Furthermore, all the constituent parts of the four embodiments can be replaced with technically equivalent elements.This invention When carrying out the process, the respective materials used, shapes and dimensions can be chosen arbitrarily to suit individual needs.
