Description

Cluster device and brush machine

The invention relates to a bundling device for a brushing machine, the bundling device having a bundling device having a bundling groove at its front side facing the bristle reservoir in its use position, wherein a tuft of bristles is collected from the bristle store And in order to output the received tuft of bristles to the brushing machine, the concentrator is movable through the bristle reservoir between the beam receiving position and the beam output position by means of the concentrating groove, and wherein the concentrating device has at least one movable A tablet is slidable in the bundle to change the collection cross section of the bundle.

The invention also relates to a brushing machine having a bristle bunker and a bundling device for a bristle reservoir, the bundling device having a bundling device with a bundling groove, wherein in order to collect the bristle bundle from the bristle store and for The received tuft of bristles is output to the brushing machine, and the concentrator is movable by the bundling slot between the bundle receiving position and the beam output position through the bristle reservoir disposed in the bristles.

The invention also relates to a method for collecting tufts of bristles from a bristle reservoir using a bundling device and for transporting the tufts of bristles to the brushing machine.

Such clustering devices, brushing machines and also methods are known from the prior art in various embodiments. Such a bundle is generally a slider that can be guided through the open side of the bristle bin and has a bundling slot where the bristles that make up the bundle are collected In the clustering trough. The bundle transports each tuft of bristles removed from the bulk of the loose bristles to a processing station, such as a filling tool of the squeegee, and then retracts toward the bristles to remove the next tuft of bristles from the bristles.

The collecting cross section (which may also be referred to as the contour of the collecting trough) here determines the amount of bristle wire that can be removed from the bristle reservoir during the working stroke by means of the bundling device. In order to be able to obtain different bundles of bristles, i.e. bundles of bristles having different numbers of bristles or bristles, from the bristle reservoir with the same bundling device, the collecting cross section of the concentrating groove, ie the contour of the concentrating groove, can be changed. . To this end, a number of different devices are known from the prior art. In such known devices which can change the effective collecting cross section of the bundling groove of the bundling device, a relatively costly solution for the servo machine is proposed, which is associated with a relatively high technical effort. . On the one hand, a relatively large construction space is required and on the other hand, high costs are incurred due to many sophisticated parts and high installation costs.

It is also noted that it may occur in a bundling device known from the prior art that the beam in the bundling groove may be modified by tableting or may change the contour of the bundling groove, especially when the collecting cross section of the bundling groove is reduced. The comparable covering device is deformed unilaterally, for example in a fan shape. It may thus happen that the individual bristle filaments of the tuft of bristles are no longer held in the concentrating groove and are lost on the way from the beam receiving position to the beam output position. Even when the bundle of bristles located in the bundled trough is transferred to a filler tool installed downstream, this fan-shaped effect may result in the correct transfer of the bundle to the tool.

The object of the invention is to provide a bundling device and a brushing machine and a method of the type mentioned in the introduction, by means of which the aforementioned disadvantages can be reduced or even avoided. They simplify the removal of the tufts from the bristle reservoir and transfer the tufts of bristles to a downstream mounted brushing machine.

In the bundling device defined in the opening paragraph, this object is achieved by the elements and features of claim 1 and in particular by the fact that the tablet can be transverse to the longitudinal extension of the bundling groove and transverse to the bundling groove Between the first edge of the longitudinally extending direction and the second edge of the clustering groove opposite the first edge, moving in the bundling groove.

In this way, once the tuft of bristles reaches the concentrating groove, the tablet can contact the bristles of the tuft of bristles in the section of the bristles between the two free ends of the bristles. It is still possible to change the effective collecting cross section of the collecting trough in a desired manner by means of the pressing piece. The aforementioned fan-shaped effect can be reduced or even avoided based on the manner in which the sheet is laterally contacted with the bristle filaments of the removed bristle bundle. The bristle filaments of the tuft of bristles that may protrude on either side of the tablet may be supported by a plurality of wall sections of the bundle, the wall sections confining, surrounding and ultimately defining the bundle. The fan bundle is thus reduced or prevented from fanning out. Therefore, the bundling groove of the bundling device according to the present invention is distinguished in that a plurality of sheets introduced into the bundling groove between the edges of the bundling groove are present on both sides (i.e., above and below, for example) Wall segments that prevent the bristle bundles located in the bundle from fanning out.

The collection of tufts of bristles from the bristle reservoir can be achieved by repeated movement of the bundle between the two extreme positions, referred to as the beam receiving position and the beam output position. Here, as long as the bundling groove moves through the open side of the bristle block, the bristles can reach the bundling groove. Here, the bundling slot then slides past the bristles stored in the bristle bin. When pressure or gravity is applied to the bristles in the bristles, the bristles can slide into the concentrating grooves and combine there into bundles of bristles.

It may be particularly convenient to form a materialless material between the first peripheral wall of the bundling groove adjacent the first edge and the second peripheral wall of the bundling groove adjacent to the second edge at the bundling device. A cross section by which the peripheral walls laterally limit and define the bundling groove. By means of the material-free cross section, the tablet can be moved into the bundling tank and/or can be moved in the bundling groove. Here, the tablet can preferably be moved into the bundling slot from the direction of the back side of the bundle through the material-free cross section.

Here, the material-free cross section (between the first edge and the second edge of the laterally slitted groove or between the first and second peripheral walls) Formed) closed by means of a tablet that is moved into the bundle.

When the tablet can be moved concentrically between the first edge and the second edge in the bundle, the fan-shaped effect can be reduced or even avoided particularly reliably. In this regard, concentric between the first edge and the second edge may mean that a spacing between the first edge of the bundling slot and the tablet corresponds to the second at the bundling slot The spacing between the edge and the tablet is even just as great as this spacing. Here, depending on the orientation of the buncher in space, the first edge of the bundling slot may be the upper edge of the bundling slot and the second edge of the bundling slot may be the lower edge of the bundling slot.

It may be advantageous for the bundling device, in particular the bundling device, to have a guide along which the tab can be guided to move in the bundling groove. In this case, the pressure piece is arranged in a non-releasable manner, but movably, at the hub, in particular by means of the guide.

If the bundling groove has a concave contour, in particular a cylindrical shell shape, a tuft of bristles corresponding to a circular cross section can be obtained by means of the bundling groove. In order to avoid the aforementioned fan-shaped effect (the peripheral walls of the bundling groove existing on both sides of the pressing piece can also be reliably avoided In addition, it is advantageous for the contact surface of the pressure piece facing the collecting groove to have a concave contour, in particular a cylindrical shell shape. In this way, the tab contact surface of the bristle filaments that actively acts on the removed tuft of bristles is maximized. The deeper the curved or concave profile formed in the contact surface of the tablet, the greater the circumference of the removed tuft of bristles can be supported or stabilized by means of the tablet.

In an advantageous embodiment of the concentrating device according to the invention, it can be provided that the concentrating device has an adjusting device which is adapted to cause the tablet to be in the bundle, in particular from the working stroke to the working stroke of the concentrating device Move in the slot. In this way, the variability of the bundling device is increased. For example, it is possible to obtain a bundle of bristles composed of a plurality of individual brush filaments during the working stroke in order to change the position of the pressure piece in the clustering groove by means of the adjustment device during the subsequent working stroke and thus For example, a smaller bundle of bristles having a smaller number of individual bristles is removed from the bristle reservoir.

However, it is also possible for the adjustment device to be adapted when the beam organizer is located in the beam receiving position before the bristle reservoir and/or when the beam organizer is located between the beam receiving position and the beam output position and / or moving the tablet in the clustering slot after the beamer has moved and/or when the beamer is in the beam output position. Therefore, the bundling apparatus is particularly suitable for implementing the method claimed in claim 22 of the application. The advantages associated with this method are further described in detail below. If the tablet is moved into the bundling groove when the bundling device is in the beam output position, the tufts of bristles arranged in the bundling groove can be discharged from the bundling trough by means of a tablet and transferred, for example, to a packing tool installed downstream. .

Here, the adjusting device may comprise an adjusting wire connected to the pressing piece, and in order to raise and lower the adjusting wire with respect to the inclined surface and to make the pressing piece in the set Moving in the beam slot, the adjustment wire can be moved along the slope by means of a free wire end. Here, the pressing piece can be retracted from the bundling groove by raising the adjusting wire and can be moved to the bundling groove or advanced in the bundling groove by lowering the adjusting wire. It can be provided here that the adjusting wire is guided through the pressure piece. For this purpose, the pressure piece may comprise a notch or a hole or a recess through which the adjustment wire runs in its position of use. In this way, the rise and fall of the adjustment wire can be transmitted to the pressure piece connected to the adjustment wire. With regard to the bevel (which can be moved along the bevel by means of its free end), the bevel preferably faces away from the front of the bundle and, if desired, takes a different angle with respect to the front. Thus, for example, it is conceivable that the bevel is oriented at an angle between 10 and 45 degrees with respect to the front side.

In order to achieve the movement of the adjustment wire relative to the bevel, it may for example be convenient if the adjustment device comprises a wire roller for winding and unwinding the adjustment wire. If the adjusting wire is unwound from the wire roll, the adjusting wire is guided by the free end (preferably bent away from the bevel into a hook or a loop) at the end of the wire and finally reaches the bevel, thereby enabling The adjustment wire is raised and the tablet is adjusted. In this way, the tablet in the bundling slot can be retracted. If the adjusting wire is wound onto the wire roll, this causes the free wire end to slide down at the slope, i.e. the wire is lowered, thereby causing the tablet to advance in the clustering groove.

If a conditioning wire is used, the filament-based stress, which is returned due to the stress, can be accomplished to discharge the tuft of bristles from the collection trough. The wire stress can then move the tablet into a discharge position in the bundle.

For the winding and unwinding of the wire roll, the adjusting device has a preferably electrically adjustable slide rail with respect to the front side of the winder, the slider guided in the slide rail, preferably Slip rollers, as well as sliding rods. Here, the slider is preferably rotatably fastened or mounted The slide bar. The wire roller is rotatably coupled to the slide bar. In this way it is possible to adjust the wire roll when the slide rail is moved in a direction relative to the front face of the buncher (for example when the distance between the slide rail and the front face of the buncher increases) Winding onto the wire roll, thereby causing the adjustment wire to descend at the bevel and thus the tablet can be moved into the bundling groove. It is also possible that when the slide rail is moved relative to the front side of the buncher (for example when the distance between the slide rail and the front side of the buncher is reduced), the adjustment wire is unwound from the wire roll, The adjustment wire rises due to movement along the slope and thus the tablet in the bundle groove recedes to increase the collection cross section.

In this regard, it may be advantageous for the beam organizer to have a guide wire device for the adjustment wire. Here, the guide wire device may comprise at least one guiding groove for the adjusting wire, the adjusting wire moving in the guiding groove to the use position.

The bundling device of the bundling device can achieve a particularly compact configuration: the bundling device has a pocket, and/or the puncture and/or the wire and/or the wire bar and/or the wire guide arrangement Inside the pocket.

In a further embodiment of the concentrating device according to the invention, it can be provided that the adjusting device has a one-arm adjusting lever connected to the concentrator by means of a rotary joint, which can be moved by means of the one-arm adjusting lever . In addition to the one-arm adjustment lever, the adjustment device can include a rail that is particularly electrically adjustable relative to the front of the hub. Here, the adjustment lever can be hingedly connected to the bundle at the end of the hinge by the hinge and has a guide in the slide at the free end of the rod opposite the end of the hinge. Slider (especially can be called the slide of the curve follower). The tab may engage or be formed at or at the stem section between the end of the hinge and the free stem end.

In order to change the collecting cross section of the bundling groove, when the sliding rail moves in a direction relative to the front side of the bundling device (for example, when the distance between the sliding rail and the front surface of the bundling device increases), The one-arm adjustment lever is turned away from the front side of the buncher and thus the tablet is retracted in the clustering groove. When the slide rail moves in the opposite direction (especially when the distance between the slide rail and the front face of the buncher decreases), the one-arm adjustment lever can be correspondingly deflected toward the front side of the buncher and thus The tablet is moved into the bundling groove.

The one-arm adjustment lever can be configured in such a way that the movement of the slide rail is decelerated, for example transmitted to the pressure piece at a ratio of three to one. Therefore, the large movement of the slide rail can be converted into a smaller amplitude movement of the slide.

In a further embodiment of the concentrating device according to the invention, it can be provided that the adjusting device has a two-arm adjusting lever connected to the concentrator by means of a hinge, which can be moved by means of the double-arm adjusting lever.

In this case, it may be expedient for the actuating device to be actuated, in addition to a double-armed adjusting lever, which has already been mentioned, for example, which further comprises an electrically adjustable slide rail relative to the front side of the winder. The two-arm adjusting lever has the pressing piece at the first lever arm and has a slider, in particular a sliding roller, guided in the sliding rail at a second lever arm arranged on the other side of the hinge. When the slide rail moves in a direction relative to the front face of the buncher (eg, when the distance between the slide rail and the front face of the buncher increases), the first lever arm can be at the bundler The front side is deflected and the tablet can be moved into the bundle. This makes it possible to reduce the collecting cross section of the collecting trough in a simple and reliable manner. When the slide rail moves in the opposite direction (for example when the distance between the slide rail and the front face of the buncher decreases), the first lever arm can be turned away from the front side of the buncher and thus compressed Go back in the buncher. This can increase The collection cross section of the clustering trough.

It should be mentioned that in all variants of the bundling device provided with adjustment rods, the pressure piece can be integrated into the adjustment rod. Preferably, the tablet and the adjustment rod form a unitary unit of uniform material, ie for example produced in a common production process and present in one piece.

The adjustment rod can be arranged stepwise relative to the pressure piece. Here, the adjustment rod is arranged at the hub at a non-coordinated plane with respect to the median plane of the cross section. Thereby, the bundler adjacent to the stepped arrangement of the adjustment rod is compared to the material thickness in the bundler having an adjustment rod that is non-steppedly arranged relative to the preferably concentrically joined sheet The material is thicker. This can result in greater stability of the buncher.

Preferably, the adjustment rod can be arranged at the hub at flush with the outside or upper side of the bundle oriented transverse to the adjustment direction of the bundle.

It is particularly preferred that the buncher has a pocket in which the tablet and/or the adjustment rod are arranged. Thus, especially in an adjustment rod which is arranged stepwise or laterally offset with respect to the tablet, the pockets dug in the bundler need not be too deep, which may contribute to the stability of the bundle.

Furthermore, it is of particular importance for the reliability of the concentrating device according to the invention that the front side of the concentrator, ie the front side of the bristle reservoir provided in the bristle magazine, has an end face or outside until the concentrating groove is closed. profile. Thus, the unaltered, closed, uniform surface with the front side of the buncher faces the individual bristle filaments in the bristle reservoir of the bristle bin, which can result in filament winding during the filling process (Filamentverzug) cut back. Here, the tablet and/or the control device (in particular an adjusting rod, a sliding rod, a slider, a wire roller and/or an adjusting wire) Arranged behind and/or obscured by the end face. In this way, a bundle having a uniform, non-interrupting, and non-migrating end face slides through the bristle reservoir in the bristle bin. Thus, the bristles provided in the bristle bin present a uniform and uniform surface until the bundling slot. This has the advantage that when the bristle bundle is supplied to the filling tool of the brushing machine by means of the buncher, undesired bristle winding or filament winding can be avoided.

In this case, it can be particularly advantageous if the pressure piece and the corresponding adjustment lever that first actuates the pressure piece are arranged completely on the other side of the closed end face and are blocked by the end face.

Thus, grooves, seams or other offsets between the movable parts can be avoided, which can affect the collection of bristles from the bristle bin reliably and without damage. The outwardly closed end faces of the bundle may obscure the movable elements arranged in the bundle, such as control means, adjustment rods, slide bars, sliders, wire rolls and/or also adjustment wires. Thus, undesired contact of the elements with the bristles in the brush holder of the brush making machine can be avoided. Thus, the closed end face of the bundle can serve as a barrier between the bristle reservoirs disposed in the bristle bin and the movable elements of the bundle.

Furthermore, it is also possible for the front side of the buncher to be curved along an arc, ie the buncher is present as a so-called circular distributor or circular collector.

The bundle is also pivotable about a preferably fixed pivot axis between the beam receiving position and the beam output position.

It should be noted that all of the aforementioned rails may be arranged at an electrically adjustable bracket relative to the front of the hub. In this case, the slide rails and/or the support can be guided in a longitudinal direction relative to the base of the brush machine and/or the bundle device in a longitudinally displaceable manner.

The object described in the opening paragraph is also achieved by a brushing machine having the elements and features of claim 21 of the patent application. According to the invention, in order to achieve this object, it is proposed in a brush making machine of the type mentioned in the opening paragraph that the bundling device is a bundling device according to one of the patent claims relating to a bundling device.

The object described in the opening paragraph is supported by the method described in claim 22, which is preferably used in the case of using the cluster device according to one of claims 1 to 20 of the patent application. The bundle of bristles is collected from the bristle reservoir and used to transport the bundle of bristles to a brushing machine, in particular according to claim 21 of the patent application. It is proposed in the method that the collecting cross section of the bundling groove is reduced after filling the bundling groove with the tuft of bristles and/or during the movement of the bundling device into the beam output position at the beam receiving position, and/or when filling the bundling In the case of a groove, the collecting cross section of the bundling groove is changed, and/or the bristle bundles located in the bundling groove are discharged from the bundling groove by means of a tablet.

When the collecting cross section of the bundling groove is reduced after filling the bundling groove, especially during the way the bundling device is on its way to the beam output position, the bristle bundle located in the bundling groove can be compressed and the bundling groove can be made The degree of filling is increased. Here, in order to reduce the collecting cross section, the aforementioned pressing piece can be moved into the bundling groove when the bundling device according to the present invention is used. In this regard, it may be convenient for the bundling device to have a front mating member that acts as a stop and extends between the beam receiving position and the beam output position along an adjustment path of the bundle and Arranged opposite the clustering trough. The counterpart may for example be a guide plate arranged to run parallel to the front face of the bundle. The tablet can press the bundle of bristles located in the bundled groove against the counterpart. Thereby, the bristle bundle can be better held in the bundling groove and the filling degree of the bundling groove can be improved.

If the bundle cross section of the clustering tank changes when the clustering tank is filled, the filling behavior may be affected. It is conceivable to increase or decrease the collecting cross section of the collecting trough during the collection of the bristles from the bristle storage of the bristle silo. If the bundle cross section changes, in particular increases, during the collection of the bristles from the bristle reservoir, the bundling grooves are not filled abruptly, but uniformly and, if appropriate, still more slowly.

When the tuft of bristles located in the bundling trough is discharged from the concentrating trough by means of a tablet, the tablet assumes a dual function and is capable of eliminating a separate venting mechanism.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In a partial schematic view: Figure 1 shows a plan view of a brush making machine according to the invention, in which it can be seen that there is a bristle magazine having a bristle reservoir of loose bristles disposed therein, and having a circular shaped distributor. The bundling device of the buncher, the filling tool and the holding and positioning device for the brush body to be filled or part of the brush body in the filling tool, FIG. 2 shows the circular shape distribution shown in FIG. 1 in a perspective view The bundler of the device, wherein the adjusting wire and the wire roller for connecting and unwinding the adjusting wire by the sliding rod and the slider can be seen, and FIG. 3 is shown in an enlarged view in FIG. Details of the circle III mark, FIG. 4 shows the detail marked with a circle IV in FIG. 3 in an enlarged view, and FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the beam splitter having a one-arm type adjustment rod cooperating with the pressure piece according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 6 shows the detail marked with a circle VI in Figure 5 in an enlarged view. Figure 7 shows the buncher shown in Figures 5 and 6 in a cross-sectional side view, and Figure 8 shows another of the inventive beam splitter with a double-armed adjusting rod for adjusting the tablet of the buncher according to the invention In the embodiment, Fig. 9 shows details of the circle marked IX in Fig. 8 in an enlarged view, and Fig. 10 shows a cross-sectional side view of the beam collector according to the invention with a stepped arrangement of adjustment bars.

In the following description of the different embodiments of the present invention, even if the configuration or the molding has a deviation, the elements whose functions are identical have the same reference numerals.

Figure 1 shows a bundling device for a brush making machine 2, generally designated 1 . The bundling device 1 has a bundling device 3, which is shown in Figures 1 to 10 in various embodiments in accordance with the present invention.

Each of the bundles 3 shown in the figures is provided with a bundling slot 6 at its front side 5 towards the bristle reservoir 4 in its position of use. In order to collect the bristle bundle 7 from the bristle reservoir 4 provided in the bristle magazine 8 of the brush making machine 2, the bundler 3 is movable by means of its bundling slot 6 between the beam receiving position and the beam output position through the bristle reservoir 4.

In the concentrator 3 shown in the figures, this is accomplished by the deflection of the concentrator 3 along the open side 9 of the bristle bin 8 along a circular arc. Here, the bristles 10 stored in the bristle reservoir 8 reach the bundling slots 6 of the bundling unit 3. This is done by a plurality of pressure vessels 11 present at the bristle silo 8 by which the individual bristles 10 stored in the bristle silo 8 are pressed against the front side 5 of the concentrator 3.

By means of the buncher 3, the tufts 7 taken out of the bristle store 4 can be From the bundle receiving position, it is transported from the bundle receiving position to a bundle of output positions from which the tuft of bristles is transferred from the bundled tank 6 to the downstream mounted packing tool 12 of the brushing machine 2. The bristle bundle 7 is then filled by means of the filling tool 12 into a portion of the brush body or brush body 14 provided at the brush holder 13.

In order to change the collecting cross section of the bundling groove 6, the bundling device 1 has a movable pressing piece 15 which can be moved into the bundling groove 6 as needed and can be moved in the bundling groove. As shown in particular in FIGS. 2 to 10 , the pressure piece 15 is arranged at the bundling device 1 and here in particular at the bundling 3 in such a way that the pressure piece can be transverse to the longitudinal extent of the bundling groove 6 , a first edge 16 (which may also be referred to as an upper edge 16) running transversely to the longitudinal extension of the bundled groove 6, and a second edge 17 of the bundled groove 6 opposite the first edge 16 The second edge (which may also be referred to as the lower edge 17) moves in the bundling slot 6.

The figures also show that the first peripheral wall 19 of the clustering groove 6 adjacent to the first edge 16 and the second peripheral wall of the clustering groove 6 adjacent to the second edge 17 are at the bundler 3 Between 20, a material-free cross section 21 is formed, which can be moved into the bundling groove from the direction of the back side 22 of the bundling unit 3, through the material-free cross section, and can be moved in the bundling groove 6. This material-free cross section 21 of the buncher 3 can also be referred to as a feedthrough opening for the tablet 15.

Here, the pressing piece 15 is arranged as follows: the pressing piece is movable concentrically between the first edge 16 and the second edge 17 and is movable in the bundling groove 6. The bundling unit 3 comprises a guide 18 which is guided to move in the bundling slot 6 along the guide. Therefore, a plurality of peripheral walls 19 and 20 are present above and below the tablet 15, by means of the The peripheral wall is laterally restrained by the bundling groove 6 and the bristle bundles 7 located in the bundling groove 6 can be supported at the peripheral walls. Therefore, the fan-shaped effect of the bristle bundle 7 in the bundling groove 6 described in the opening paragraph can be reduced or even avoided.

All of the pressure pieces 15 shown in the figures have a contact surface 23 which faces the respective bundle groove 6 in the position of use, the contact surface having a concave contour and in particular the shape of a cylindrical shell.

The bundling device also has an adjustment device 24. The adjustment device 24 is adapted to move the tablet 15 in the bundling slot 6 in order to change the collecting cross section of the bundling slot 6. Here, the collecting cross section of the bundling groove 6 can be changed from the working stroke of the bundling device 3 to the working stroke. In addition, however, the adjustment device 24 is further adapted to also, when required, when the bundling device 3 is in the beam receiving position, when the bundling device 3 is located between the beam receiving position and the beam output position (especially in the The plater moves during the movement between the two positions and when the bundling 3 is in the beam output position, causing the tablet 15 to move in the bundling slot 6. This allows the implementation of the method described below.

Now, Figures 1 to 4 show a first embodiment of such an adjustment device 24.

According to Figures 1 to 4, the adjustment device 24 comprises an adjustment wire 25. The adjusting wire 25 is connected to the pressing piece 15 and guided through the pressing piece. In order to raise and lower the adjusting wire 25 and thus to move the pressing piece 15, the adjusting wire 25 is moved along the inclined surface 27 facing away from the front face 5 of the buncher 3 by means of a free wire end 26 bent into a loop or a hook. If the wire end 26 abuts against the slope, the adjustment wire 25 rises. The pressing piece 15 is retracted from the collecting groove 6 by raising the regulating wire 25. By lowering the adjusting wire 25, that is, when the free wire end 26 of the adjusting wire 25 slides downward at the inclined surface 27, the pressing piece 15 is moved into the bundling groove 6, thereby The collecting cross section of the bundling groove 6 is reduced.

For the winding and unwinding of the adjustment wire 25, in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 to 4, the adjustment device 24 comprises a wire roller 28. For the winding and unwinding of the wire roll 28, the adjusting device 24 has a slide rail 29 that is electrically adjustable with respect to the front side 5 of the winder 3, a slider 30 guided in the slide rail 29, and a slide bar 31. In the present case, the slider 30 is formed as a slide roller 30 and rotatably mounted at the slide bar 31. The wire roller 28 is connected to the sliding bar in a rotationally fixed manner at the end of the sliding bar 31 opposite the slider 30. When the distance between the slide rail 29 and the front surface 5 of the winder 3 is increased, the adjustment wire 25 is wound onto the wire roller 28 due to the corresponding rotation of the wire roller 28. This is accomplished by the linear motion of the slide rail 29 relative to the front face 5 of the bundled groove 3 being converted by the slide bar 31 and the anti-rotation connection between the slide bar 31 and the wire roll 28 The rotational movement of the wire roller 28 is achieved. This causes the adjustment wire 25 to be wound or unwound from the wire roller 28 in accordance with which direction the slide rail 29 is moved relative to the front surface 5 of the winder 3.

When the adjusting wire 25 is wound onto the wire roll 28, the free wire end 26 is lowered at the slope 27 or the free wire end is slid downward at the slope 27. The movement of the adjusting wire 25 is also transmitted to the pressing piece 15 by the connection between the adjusting wire 25 and the pressing piece 15. In this way, when the adjusting wire 25 is lowered, that is, when the slide rail 29 is removed from the front surface 5 of the buncher 3, the pressing piece is moved into the bundling groove 6.

When the distance between the slide rail 29 and the front surface 5 of the bundle 3 is reduced, the adjustment wire 25 is correspondingly unwound from the wire roll 28. The linear adjustment movement of the slide rail 29 is again converted into a rotational movement of the wire roller 28 by means of the slide bar 31, which causes the adjustment wire 25 to rise along the bevel by means of its free wire end 26 along the bevel 27, by This causes the regulating wire 25 to rise and Therefore, the pressing piece 15 is retracted in the bundling groove 6 to increase the collecting cross section of the bundling groove 6.

According to Figures 1 to 4, the bundling device 3 of the bundling device 1 shown therein has a guide wire device 32. Here, the guide wire device 32 further comprises a guiding groove 33 through which the adjusting wire 25 is guided. The bundle 3 has a pocket 34, the tab 15, the adjustment wire 25, the slide bar 31 and also the wire guide 32 are arranged in the pocket.

Figures 5 to 7 show another embodiment of a beam organizer 3 according to the invention. It is proposed here that the bundling device has an adjusting device 24 for actuating the pressure piece 15, the adjusting device comprising a one-arm adjusting lever 36 connected to the buncher 3 by means of a hinge 35. The pressing piece 15 can be moved in the collecting groove 6 by means of the one-arm adjusting lever 36 to change the collecting cross section. In addition to the one-arm adjustment lever 36, the adjustment mechanism 24 also includes a slide rail 29 that is electrically adjustable with respect to the front side 5 of the bundler 3 by means of an actuator 48 (i.e. by means of a drive).

The one-arm adjustment lever 36 is hingedly connected to the hub 3 by the hinge 35 at the end 37 of the hinge and is provided at the free end 38 of the rod opposite the end 37 of the hinge. The slider 30 that is guided in 29, which in this embodiment is also the roller 30. The tab 15 is arranged at or at the rod section 39 between the hinge end 37 and the free rod end 38. When the distance between the slide rail 29 and the front face 5 of the buncher 3 increases, the one-arm adjustment lever 36 is rotated away from the front side 5 of the bundler 3 and thus the tablet 15 is retracted in the bundled groove 6. . When the distance between the slide rail 29 and the front face 5 of the bundling device 3 is reduced, the one-arm adjustment lever 36 is deflected towards the front face 5 of the bundling device 3 and thus the pressure piece 15 is moved into the bundling groove 6, That is, the collection cross section of the bundling groove 6 is reduced.

Figures 8 to 10 show another embodiment of a bundling device 3 according to the invention, which can be used in a bundling device 1 as shown in Figure 1.

In this embodiment, an adjustment device 24 is provided, which has a two-arm adjustment lever 40 connected to the hub 3 by means of a hinge 35, which can be moved by means of the two-arm adjustment lever.

In order to actuate the tablet 15, in addition to the two-arm adjustment lever 40, the adjustment device 24 likewise comprises a slide rail 29 that is electrically adjustable relative to the front side 5 of the hub 3. The two-arm adjusting lever 40 has the pressing piece 15 at the first lever arm 41 and has a slider guided in the sliding rail 29 at the second lever arm 42 arranged on the other side of the hinge 35 30. Conveniently, the slider 30 is present as a roller 30 which makes it easier to move in the slide rail 29. When the distance between the slide rail 29 and the front face 5 of the bundle 3 increases, the first lever arm 41 deflects in the direction of the front face 5 of the bundle 3 and thus the tab 15 is directed toward the bundling slot 6 Move in to reduce the collection cross section.

When the distance between the slide rail 29 and the front face 5 of the bundling device 3 is reduced, the first lever arm 41 is rotated away from the front face 5 of the bundling device 3 and thus the pressing piece 15 is retracted in the bundling groove 6. Thereby, the collecting cross section of the bundling groove 6 can be increased.

5 to 10 show that the pressure piece 15 is correspondingly integrated into the corresponding adjustment rods 36, 40. According to the sectional views of Figures 7 and 10, it is shown here that the pressing piece 15 and the corresponding adjusting rods 36, 40 form a unitary unit of uniform material, i.e. from one piece. As can be seen in the embodiment of the bundling device 3 shown in Figure 10, the adjustment rods 36, 40 are arranged in a stepped manner relative to the pressure piece 15. This means that there is a step or step in the transition between the pressure piece 15 and the adjustment rods 36, 40 such that the adjustment rods 36, 40 are identical to the lateral extension of the pressure piece 15 with respect to the buncher 3 The center arrangement is arranged at the clusterer 3 instead of concentrically. This results in the fact that the beam collector 3 according to FIG. 10 can have a section shown below the adjustment rods 36, 40 there. Larger material thickness. This is advantageous for the stability of the entire bundling unit 3.

Figure 10 also shows that the respective adjustment rods 36, 40 are arranged flush with the outer side 43 of the bundler 3 oriented transversely to the adjustment direction of the bundler 3 at the buncher. Therefore, the adjustment levers 36, 40 do not protrude beyond the outer side 43 of the bundle 3.

According to an embodiment of the different bundlings 3 according to the invention shown in Figures 7 and 10, the bundles respectively have pockets 34, the tabs 15 and corresponding adjustment bars 36, 40 being arranged in the bag Inside the department. It can be seen here that the depth of the pockets 34 is at least as great as the thickness of the respective adjustment rods 36, 40 measured in cross section.

It can be seen first from Figures 4, 6 and 9 that the front faces 5 of the concentrator 3 shown therein have end faces 44 or outer contours until the bundling groove 6 is closed, respectively. In this way, the bundle 3 having a uniform, uninterrupted and offset-free end face 44 slides past the bristle reservoir 4 in the bristle bunker 8. Therefore, the bristles 10 provided in the bristle chamber 8 present a uniform and uniform surface up to the clustering groove 6. This has the advantage that when the bristle bundle 7 is supplied to the filling tool 12 of the brush making machine 2 by means of the buncher 3, undesired bristle winding or filament winding can be avoided. It is particularly advantageous here if the pressure piece 15 and the respective adjustment levers 36 , 40 which actuate the pressure piece 15 first are arranged completely on the other side of the closed end face 44 and are blocked by this end face. Thus, grooves, seams or other offsets between the movable parts can be avoided, which can affect the collection of the bristles 10 from the bristle bin 8 reliably and without damage. The outwardly closed end face 44 of the bundle 3 can shield the movable elements arranged in the bundle 3, such as the control device 24, the adjustment rods 36, 40, the slide bar 31, the slider 30, the wire roller and 28/or also the adjustment wire 25 and prevents the elements from coming into contact with the bristles 7. Thus, the end face 44 also serves as a barrier between the bristle reservoir 4 disposed in the bristle bin 8 and the movable elements of the bundle 3.

All of the beamers 3 shown in these figures have a front side 5 that is curved along an arc. Therefore, the buncher 3 can also be referred to as a circular arc collector or an arc distributor.

All of the beamers 3 shown in the figures are capable of pivoting about the pivot axis 45 between the beam receiving position and the beam outputting position. The slide rail 29 is arranged at a bracket 46 that is electrically adjustable relative to the front side 5 of the hub 3. The electrically adjustable bracket 46 is guided longitudinally displaceable in the linear guide 47 and can be moved longitudinally in at least two directions relative to the front side 5 of the combiner 3 by means of the actuator 48.

The bristle holder 8 of the brushing machine 2 for the bristle reservoir 4 can be rotated or pivoted relative to the base 49 of the brushing machine 2. For example, the bristle magazine 8 can be filled more easily.

By means of the aforementioned bundling device 1 and the aforementioned brushing machine 2, the following method can be carried out for collecting the tufts of bristles 7 from the bristle reservoir 4 and for transferring the bristle bundles 7 to the filling tool 12 of the brushing machine 2. It is proposed here that after the bundling groove 6 is filled with the bristle bundle 7, the collecting cross section of the bundling groove 6 is reduced. Here, the pressure piece 15 is pressed against the bristle bundle 7 located in the bundling groove 6. Thereby, the bristle bundle 7 is clamped between the pressing piece 15 and the front counterpart 50 of the bundling device 1 and the filling degree of the bundling groove 6 is increased.

1 shows that the front counterpart 50 of the bundling device 1 is an arcuate guide plate parallel to the front side 5 of the bundling groove 3, the guide plate being between the edges of the open side 9 of the bristle bunker 8 and thus It extends between the beam receiving position and the beam output position and serves as a bearing surface for the bristle bundle 7 positioned in the clustering groove 6.

Furthermore, the bundling device 1 also has a rear counterpart 51 having substantially the same configuration as the front counterpart 50 and closing the second open side 52 of the bristle bin 8 (as long as it should be in the bristle bin 8 The bristles 10) are taken out at the first open side 9.

The adjustment device 24 is also adapted to change the collection cross section of the collection trough 6 when filling the bundling slot 6 in order to influence the filling behavior.

If the bundling device 3 reaches the beam output position in which the bundling groove 6 is located in the filling tool 12, the tufts of bristles 7 located in the bundling groove 6 are from the bundling by means of the pressing piece 15 The tank 6 is discharged and thus transferred to the packing tool 12 for further processing.

In order to improve the field of the cluster device, a bundling device 1 having a bundling groove 6 which is variable in terms of its collecting cross section, a brushing machine 2 equipped with the bundling device, and the aforementioned method have been proposed. It is proposed in the bundling device 1 according to the invention that the bundling device has the tablet 15 which is movable between the first edge 16 of the bundling slot 6 and the opposite second edge 17 to change the The collecting cross section of the clustering trough 6.
