Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of Swiss Patent Application No. CH-1476/04, filed Sep. 6, 2004, the entire disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- The invention concerns a method for the holding of sheet metal strips which are output simultaneously from a cutting device in essentially their output relative positions and which pieces, by letting them fall from the holding device, are transferred to a conveyor mechanism. The invention further concerns a corresponding device as well as a scissor shears which includes the holding device or performs the holding method.
- In the cutting of sheet metal plates into strips by means of rotating knives the cut strips lie practically next to one another as they are output simultaneously from the cutting device. To permit an ordered transfer of the strips to a conveyor mechanism it is known, from Italian Patent IT-A-1 053 021 to hold the strips by rotatable rods against which the strips lie at their lower faces in essentially their relative output positions from the rotating knives, and also slightly inclined. By the rotation of the rods the strips then fall onto the repository plane of a conveyor means having chains running upwardly at an incline and having projecting shagging catches, which catches project from below and through the repository plane and deliver the strips which lie close to one another in the repository plane in spaced condition to the rotary knives of a scissor shears. The rotary rods must be oriented exactly parallel to one another to hold the sheet metal strips and to give them away freely. With each change in the width of the strips the rotary rods also have to be adjusted and their parallel condition has to be tested and adjusted, which is expensive to do.
- The invention has as its basic object the avoidance of the above-mentioned disadvantages.
- This object is achieved with the previously mentioned method in that the sheet metal strips at their upper faces are held magnetically and/or by suction. In particular, the holding preferably takes place exclusively at the upper faces of the sheet metal strips.
- Accordingly, since the strips are held at their upper faces magnetically and/or by suction, the need for holding the strips exactly parallel with their edges disappears; and it is sufficient if the holding device is engaged with each strip upper surface so that each strip—until it is let free to fall—is held essentially in the position in which it has been output from the cutting device. The free fall then occurs in a simple way by the deactivation of the electromagnetic holding device and/or by a mechanical operation on the strip to overcome the permanent magnet holding force, or by deactivation of the suction pressure, by means of which the sheet had been held against an opposing surface.
- Preferably the holding is achieved electromagnetically and by means of rolls against which each strip moves at its upper side, it is discharged from the cutting device. Also magnetic rails, preferably with friction reducing coatings for the strips, may be used. In the case of pneumatic holding by means of suction pressure, surfaces with suction openings and friction reducing coatings are also preferred. Also preferred is a stationary holder (that is, the rollers are stationary, since their roller axes are stationary), along which holder the involved sheet metal strips move. This provides a simple and robust holder without a special motion driver.
- The mentioned advantages are further achieved by a holding device for a scissor shears according to
claim 9 and by a scissor shears according toclaim 17. - Further developments, advantages and uses of the invention will be apparent from accompanying claims and from the following description aided by the figures. The figures are:
-
FIG. 1 a schematic view from the front into the first cutting device of a first embodiment of the invention; -
FIG. 2 a side view of the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 a side view of a further embodiment; and -
FIG. 4 a view of a third embodiment of the invention in partially cut away form. -
FIGS. 1 and 2 show different views, in highly simplified illustration, of ascissor shears 1 by means of whichsheet metal plates 20 are cut in afirst cutting device 2, which as a rule has several pairs of slicing rolls, intosheet strips FIG. 2 it can be easily seen how asheet metal plate 20, which is lifted from aplate stack 4, moves through thecutting device 2 and is discharged by theoutput rolls sheet metal strips 21. -
FIG. 1 is a frontal view looking into thecutting device 2 with the output direction of the arrow A being perpendicular to the viewing plane and running away from the observer. FromFIG. 1 it is seen that foursheet metal strips cutting device 2. According to the preferred use of the holding device in ascissor shears 1, these sheet strips are now delivered to afurther cutting device 3, which usually is arranged at a right angle to thecutting device 2, wherein the sheet strips 21-24 are cut one after another intosmall sheet sections 40. For this aconveyor device 14 conveys the sheet strips 21-24 from therepository 13 to thecutting device 3. Such a scissor shears and also the associated conveyor device are well known to a person skilled in the art and need not be explained in more detail here. For more details reference can especially be made to Italian Patent IT-A-1 053 021, wherein a person skilled in the art is shown a scissor shears of the previously mentioned kind and a conveyor device with conveying chains running at an upward incline and having catches of different heights, which conveyor device is preferably used also in the case of scissor shears having a holding device according to the present invention, as yet to be further explained hereafter. - The present invention concerns now the holding of, or a
holding device first cutting device 2, before their transfer to theconveyor device 14, so that they are held above the conveyor device and so that an orderly transfer of the strips to the conveyor device takes place. The sheet strips according to the state of the art, for which reference is again made to the mentioned Italian Patent, are held by specially shaped rotary rods on which the sheet strips lie at the edge regions of their bottom faces. As already explained, these rotary rods are rotated to effect the discharge of the strips onto a receiver of the advancement means, from which receiver the strips are taken hold of by the conveyor means and delivered to thesecond cutting device 3. The present invention concerns the taking and holding of the sheet strips 21-24 during and after the discharging of the sheet strips from the first cutting device. According to the invention a holding of the sheet strips at their upper faces and preferably only at their upper faces takes place so that no holding element works on the underfaces of the sheet strips. However, in addition to the holding of the strips from above, auxiliary elements can also be provided which, for example, face the underfaces to additionally support the strips and which are moved away to allow the strips to fall. The holding on the upper faces of the strips occurs magnetically and/or pneumatically by suction. A first embodiment is preferred wherein theholding device 10 accomplishes the holding by magnetic rolls along which the involved strips move when they leave thecutting device 2. InFIG. 2 it is seen how thestrip 21 moves in the direction of the arrow A in leaving thecutting device 2 and how it moves along therolls 6 a-6 e, such that the strip in the position shown inFIG. 2 has already reached therolls receiver 13. If permanent magnet rolls are used, the release of the sheets 21-24 in the direction of the arrow B from the respectively associated roll sets 6-9, which are visible in the front view ofFIG. 2 , is effected by mechanically overcoming the holding force of the rolls. As to this, for example, the rolls can be moved upwardly in their own indicatedroller carrier 5, so that the rollers are lifted from the respectively associated sheet strips which are held back by theroll carrier 5 or by nonmagnetic projections on the roller carrier, so that the movement of the rollers upwardly cannot take the strips with the rollers. Also a moveable element can be provided which presses the sheet strips downwardly from the rolls. However preferably the rolls are electromagnetically activateable so that by switching on the current creating the magnetic field, a magnetic holding of the sheet strips to the rolls is effected and by the turning off the current a dropping of the strips to thereceiver 13 is effected. InFIGS. 1 and 2 this is illustrated by a correspondingelectromagnetic arrangement 11 which is controlled by thecontrol circuitry 27 of the scissor shears. The associated development of such an electromagnetic roll arrangement is within the ability of the person skilled in the art and need not be here described in more detail. As already mentioned the other sheet strips 22-24 are also held bycorresponding roll sets cutting device 2 are held in the corresponding way above thereceiver 13 and can be dropped as desired for further advancement. The rolls as a rule are driven only by the strips which are moved along them from the cutting device, or as the case may be, by drivenoutput rollers -
FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the invention as aholding device 10′, in the case of which only a side view of the scissor shears similar to that ofFIG. 2 is shown, and wherein the same reference numbers indicate the same elements as inFIG. 2 . In place of each roll set, in this embodiment amagnetizable rail 30 is provided over which the associated strip slides when it is output from thecutting device 2 and which rail holds the strip while it is magnetized by the associated electromagnet arrangement. So that thestrip 21 can be pushed over therail 30 without large frictional resistance with its upper side which rail for example is arranged in arail holder 35, therail 30 at its contact surface with the metal strip is provided with a friction reducing coating, for example a plastic material coating. Also a combination of the embodiments ofFIGS. 1 and 2 as well asFIG. 3 is possible so that some of the strips are held by roll sets and other strips are held by rails. In the case of the rolls sets it is not necessary that all of the rolls have a magnetic effect, and also some of the rolls can be made for example as plastic rolls, and similarly the rails can also have some sections made of plastic and other sections made of metal. -
FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the invention as a holdingdevice 10″, in the case of which the holding of the sheet material strips is effected from above by suction, so that each strip is sucked against thecarrier 36. For this purpose asingle carrier 36 can be provided for each strip or a single carrier can be used for all of the strips in common, which likewise is true for the roll or rail carriers. At itsouter surface 38 thecarrier 36 has a number ofopenings 37 through which air is sucked into the carrier by means of asuction pump 31. A sub-atmospheric pressure therefore exists in thecarrier 36 which holds the associatedstrip 21 to the carrier. The forward shifting of the strip can again be made easier by a low friction coating on the outer surface of thecarrier 36 which overlies the upper surface of thestrip 21. By shutting off thesuction pump 31, which can again be controlled by the non-illustrated control, dropping of thestrip 21 onto the receiver is effected. - The preferred implementation of the advancing
means 14 is that which is shown in the mentioned Italian patent and which includes an inclined chain run and catches of different heights which project through thedischarge plane 13 and effect an separation of the strips lying tightly next to one another on thereceiver 13. However, instead of this advancing means some other desired advancing means known to experts in the art can also be used. - Although in the present application preferred embodiments of the invention have been described, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to these embodiments and that the invention can be carried out by other ways and means falling within the scope of the following claims.
