Description
- The present invention relates to a method for protecting a unit for converting a web substrate. The invention also relates to a station for feeding a converting unit with a wen substrate. The invention also relates to a packaging production machine comprising a feeding station and a converting unit.
- A packaging production machine is designed for the manufacture of boxes that will be suitable for forming packages, by folding and gluing. In this machine, the production begins with an initial web substrate, that is to say a virgin web, for example of cardboard, which is unwound in a continuous manner, printed by one or more printing units, optionally embossed, and then cut in a diecutting platen press.
- The substrate converted in the form of blanks or of boxes obtained by cutting are then shingled, before being stacked in rows in order to form stacks in a delivery and palletizing station for the purpose of storing them or of conveying them away from the machine.
- A diecutting platen press or also a printing platen is a converting unit that requires a momentary stop in the progression of the web substrate during the conversion. Because of the continuous feeding upstream, there occurs an accumulation of the substrate in the form of an upstream loop.
- A feeding station is used first of all to place the printing in longitudinal and lateral register with the cutting. The other function of the feeding station is to cyclically create and to control at all times this loop which lengthens during the stoppage due to the work of the press, and which shortens as soon as the feeding of the press resumes for the purpose of the subsequent conversion. The feeding station converts the continuous progression of the substrate into an intermittent progression, on each working cycle of the converting unit, while keeping the substrate in tension at the loop control.
- The phases of accelerating, of decelerating the substrate in the feeding station, and the conversion being carried out flat in the unit are very sensitive to the quality and to the type of the web substrate. As an example, the substrate that is at the beginning of a reel does not have the same physical qualities as the substrate at the end of a reel, and this is so for one and the same reel of substrate unwinding at the inlet of the machine. Despite the presence of a web decurler, jams occur in the converting unit.
- Documents CH-602.462 and CH-618.660 describe a feeding station for a diecutting platen press, comprising a pulling member and a feathering drive leading the substrate around the circumference of an off-center roller mounted between two rotary plates.
- These existing constructions come out of adjustment and also wear quite rapidly, which leads to jams of the substrate in the feeding station and in the converting unit formed by the press.
- Also known according to documents EP-742.170 and WO-2010/063.353 are a device and a station for feeding a converting unit with a substrate, the unit working on the substrate when stopped. This device comprises a first roller, called a drive roller, also known as a draw roller or feathering drive, around which there oscillates cyclically, in the upstream direction and then in the downstream direction, a second roller, called a satellite roller. An infeed arrangement, designed to feed a converting unit, is mounted downstream of the feathering drive. The infeed arrangement comprises a bottom roller driven in rotation.
- In the event of jamming of the substrate inside the converting unit, the whole machine, with the converting unit and the feeding station, is automatically stopped with the aid of means for detecting the jam that are placed downstream of the unit. However, because of the inertia of the drive, the web substrate will continue to enter the unit until the progression of the web is completely stopped. The substrate will form a jam.
- In order to remove the web substrate that has accumulated inside the unit, for example inside the press, the operator must intervene in a very narrow zone between upper and lower beams, as well as in the tablet of platen infeed. The material that has agglomerated and compacted forms plugs that are extremely solid. The machine operator must then extract the material and clean the unit, most frequently by hand. During this long period of stoppage, the machine is no longer in production.
- Because of the very high pressure exerted by the substrate entering the unit, the result of this is a twisting or even a destruction of the converting tools, in this case the cutting tools and creasing counterparts, and of certain mechanical parts, and possibly electrical parts, of the unit. All of these tools must be replaced and again adjusted for the accuracy of cutting. This operation to repair the unit takes time and is extremely costly.
- A main object of the present invention is to develop a method for protecting a unit for converting a web substrate. A second object is to prevent damaging the converting tools that are present in the converting unit in the event of a jam. A third object is to conserve the longitudinal and lateral register of the substrate between the feeding and the converting, while stopping the converting unit, the feeding station and the packaging production machine. A fourth object is to produce a packaging production machine allowing a converting of a substrate, comprising a feeding station and a unit for converting the substrate, and protection means. Yet another object is that of providing modifications for protecting a feeding station of a converting unit with a web substrate.
- According to the present invention, a method for protecting a unit for converting a web substrate is designed to limit a jam of the web substrate inside the unit for converting the web substrate, this unit for converting the web substrate converting the web substrate when stopped, in a packaging production machine. The method comprises the successive steps consisting in:
- detecting, at the outlet of the unit for converting the web substrate, that the converted substrate does not come out;
- stopping a motor of an infeed arrangement so as to prevent the web substrate entering the unit for converting the web substrate;
- stopping a motor of a feathering drive in the feeding station; and in simultaneously stopping the packaging production machine.
- In other words, the first step is used to detect whether or not a converted substrate comes out of the converting unit. If the converted substrate does not come out, while the unit, the feeding station and the machine are in operation, a signal corresponding to a jam malfunction is emitted. The jam of the substrate is thus immediately detected and then dealt with.
- With the second step consisting in stopping a motor of an infeed arrangement, the movement of the substrate toward and inside the unit is halted instantaneously. The jam inside the unit is immediately stopped and does not get worse.
- With the third step consisting in stopping a motor of a feathering drive, separate from the second step, the progression of the substrate is stopped gradually. This makes it possible to stop the whole machine at the same time. The arrival of the substrate at the feeding station and at the converting unit is stopped.
- With this gradual stoppage, the register is kept in an acceptable range. In contrast with the invention, too rapid a stop or an emergency stop are found to be excessively sudden stops, which consequently cause a risk of disruptions, or even a risk of breakage of the web substrate. With a slower stop, the adjustments and the parameters used to control the machine are retained.
- By virtue of the invention, the jam in the unit and in the station is minimized. The operator therefore rapidly proceeds with the subsequent restarting of the whole machine as soon as he has removed a small quantity of web substrate and cleaned the unit and the station.
- In the whole of the description, the longitudinal direction is defined with reference to the median axis of the packaging production machine, of the feeding station and of the converting unit. This direction is determined by that of the drive of the web substrate. The transverse and lateral direction is defined as being the direction perpendicular to the direction of drive of the substrate. The upstream and downstream directions are defined by making reference to the direction of progression of the substrate, in the longitudinal direction, respectively before and after the feeding station and the converting unit.
- In another aspect of the invention, a station able to feed a converting unit with a web substrate, the converting unit converting the web substrate when stopped, comprises a feathering drive, a loop control and an infeed arrangement. The feeding station is characterized in that it comprises accumulation means for the web substrate.
- According to yet another aspect of the invention, a packaging production machine comprises
- a unit for converting a web substrate, able to convert the web substrate when stopped, and
- a station for feeding the unit with the web substrate, having a feathering drive and an infeed arrangement.
- The packaging production machine is characterized in that it comprises:
- means for detecting a jam of the web substrate inside the converting unit and sending a jam signal corresponding to a jam of the web substrate inside the converting unit, these means being positioned at the outlet of the unit, and
- means for processing the jam signal, able to generate stop signals, respectively intended for the infeed arrangement, for the feathering drive, and for the packaging production machine.
- The invention will be clearly understood and its various advantages and features will better emerge from the following description of the nonlimiting exemplary embodiment, with reference to the appended schematic drawing in which the FIGURE represents a synoptic side view of a portion of packaging production machine, comprising a feeding station and a converting unit.
- As illustrated in the FIGURE, a packaging production machine 1 comprises a converting unit which, in this case, is a diecutting platen press 2. The press 2 converts a material or a
web substrate 3. In this example, theweb 3 is flat cardboard and this cardboard is cut in the press 2. A feedingstation 4 is positioned upstream of the press 2. Thestation 4 receives theweb 3 upstream, arriving at a constant speed. - Upstream of the
station 4, the machine 1 has, as an example, printing units, means for monitoring the quality and the register of the printing, as well as means for embossing or any other means (not shown) for modifying the surface of theweb 3. - The
station 4 delivers thissame web 3 downstream to the press 2 at an intermittent speed. The press 2 cuts theweb 3 when stopped and delivers it in the form of blanks 6. The substrate, that is to say theweb 3, changes from an unconverted substrate state to a converted substrate state, that is to say the blanks 6. The blanks 6 come out downstream of the press 2. The direction of travel or of progression (arrow F) of theweb 3 and of the blanks 6 in the longitudinal direction indicates the upstream direction and the downstream direction. - In order to ensure an optimum operation of the press 2, the
station 4 may comprise, in order from upstream to downstream: - a lateral web guiding 7, used for correcting the lateral register of the
web 3 if necessary; - an dancer roller 8, designed to establish a constant tension of the
web 3; - a web straightener 9 also known as a “decurler”, designed to straightened the curves of the cardboard;
- a feathering
drive 11; - a
pressing roller 12, positioned against the featheringdrive 11, so as to hold theweb 3 against the featheringdrive 11; and - a
loop control 13. - A
first infeed arrangement 14, for guiding, driving and taking theweb 3 into the press 2, is positioned downstream of the featheringdrive 11 and of theloop control 13 and upstream of the press 2. Theinfeed arrangement 14 is installed by being fastened in the feedingstation 4. Asecond outlet arrangement 16 for guiding, driving and bringing the cut blanks 6 out of the press 2, is positioned downstream of the press 2. - The feathering drive is formed by a
main drive roller 11, rotating on a main shaft (arrow R). The main shaft and therefore themain roller 11 are installed substantially on the horizontal and perpendicularly to the direction of progression of theweb 3. Themain roller 11 therefore continuously drives theweb 3 from upstream to downstream. A mainelectric drive motor 17 rotates themain roller 11. - The loop control comprises a
satellite roller 13 placed side by side to and parallel with themain roller 11. Theweb 3 is engaged between themain roller 11 and thissatellite roller 13 and it is held there while being able to be driven. Theweb 3 forms a path which covers approximately three-quarters of a circumference of themain roller 11 and half a circumference of thesatellite roller 13. - The
satellite roller 13 is able to oscillate (arrow (O) around themain drive roller 11, from upstream to downstream and vice versa from downstream to upstream. In the FIGURE, thesatellite roller 13 is shown in the extreme downstream position. A secondaryelectric drive motor 18 causes thesatellite roller 13 to oscillate. - The frequency of the oscillations O of the
satellite roller 13 generates variations in speed of theweb 3. Theweb 3 changes cyclically from a constant speed to a zero speed, and vice versa from a zero speed to a constant speed. These speed variations and hence the frequency of the oscillations O are chosen as a function of the cutting strike speed of the press 2 situated downstream. - The
infeed arrangement 14 comprises abottom roller 19 and a series of top pressure rollers 21. Theweb 3 is engaged, held and driven into the press 2 between theroller 19 and the pressure rollers 21. Theroller 19 is rotatably driven by anelectric motor 22. Theoutlet arrangement 16 for the blanks 5 has substantially the same mechanical structure as theinfeed arrangement 14 for theweb 3. - The
infeed arrangement 14 is also known as the MIR or modulated infeed roller. Theoutlet arrangement 16 is also known as the MOR or modulated outlet roller. Theinfeed arrangement 14 and theoutlet arrangement 16 are for example substantially similar to that described in the document WO-2010/066.325. - According to the invention, means for detecting a jam, advantageously in the form of a
detection cell 23, are mounted in the machine 1, by being positioned downstream and directly at the outlet of the press 2. Thiscell 23 monitors the blanks 6 coming out and counts the blanks 6. Thecell 23 identifies, on the surface, the presence or the absence of blanks 6 coming out of the press 2. Thecell 23 generates and sends a count signal which is transformed into ajam signal 24 if no blanks 6 come out. - Means for processing the
jam signal 24, for example in the form of asignal processing system 26 for controlling the protection of the press 2, are provided in the machine 1 and in the feedingstation 4. Thesystem 26 is able to generate stop signals 27, 28, 29 and 31. - The
first stop signal 27 is intended for theinfeed arrangement 14 and comprises an instruction for an instantaneous stop of themotor 22 of theroller 19. Thesecond stop signal 28 is intended for the featheringdrive 11 and comprises an instruction for the gradual stopping of themotor 17 of the featheringdrive 11. The third stop signal 29 is intended for theloop control 13 and comprises an instruction for an instantaneous stop of themotor 18 of thesatellite roller 13. The third stop signal 29 also comprises an instruction to park thesatellite roller 13 in an out-of-the-way position. Thefourth stop signal 31 is intended for the machine 1 and comprises an instruction to stop all the units comprised in the machine 1, and that are situated upstream and downstream of the press 2 and of itsfeeding station 4. - The feeding
station 4 preferably comprises means of accumulation, in the form of a volume or of astorage 32 for accommodating the remainder of theweb 3, during the transitional phase between the stopping of theinfeed arrangement 14 and the stopping of the featheringdrive 11. Theweb 3 is inserted and is placed in thisstorage 32 until the featheringdrive 11 has completely stopped. Thestorage 32 is arranged in the top portion of thestation 4. Thisstorage 32 has an opening oriented downward in the direction of theloop control 13 and of the featheringdrive 11. - Mechanical protection means are provided at the feeding
station 4. These mechanical protection means take the form of guidance means 33 and of barrier means 34. - The means 33 for guiding the
web 3 toward thestorage 32 are advantageously provided and oriented upward so that the remainder of theweb 3 slides in the direction of the opening of thestorage 32 and is then introduced into thisstorage 32. These means 33 take the form of protection and guidance metal sheets. - The barrier means 34 for the
web 3 are advantageously provided and oriented so that the remainder of theweb 3 does not feed into other portions of thestation 4. These barrier means 34 prevents the remainder of theweb 3 from damaging the parts forming the feedingstation 4, and more particularly theloop control 13, the pressingroller 12, and the featheringdrive 11. - The method for protecting the press 2 against the jamming of the
web 3 according to the invention comprises several successive steps. A first step, corresponding to thejam signal 24, consists in detecting that no blanks 6 come out of the press 2, with the aid of thecell 23, associated with the system for processing thesignal 26. - A second step, corresponding to the
first stop signal 27, consists in instantaneously stopping themotor 22 of theinfeed arrangement 14, so as to prevent any of theweb 3 entering the press 2. Then, the inside of the press 2 contains only the blanks 6 that have caused the jam. This jam is much easier to clear, because the press 2 contains only cardboard that remains flat. With the stopping of themotor 22 of theinfeed arrangement 14, the press 2 is protected against any moreweb 3 arriving. - A third step, corresponding respectively to the second and to the fourth stop signals 28 and 31, consists in gradually stopping and slowing the
motor 17 of the featheringdrive 11 and in simultaneously stopping the whole machine 1. - Advantageously the method comprises an additional step consisting in calculating a waiting time between the step consisting in stopping the
motor 22 of theinfeed arrangement 14 and the step consisting in stopping themotor 17 of the featheringdrive 11. This wait and hence the progression of theweb 3 makes it possible to gently stop the progression of theweb 3 without breaking thisweb 3. This wait also makes it possible to preserve the mechanical parts of the press 2 and of thestation 4. - An additional step, corresponding to the third stop signal 29, occurs at the same time as the step consisting in stopping the
motor 22 of theinfeed arrangement 14 and before the step consisting in stopping themotor 17 of the featheringdrive 11. This step consists in stopping themotor 18 of theloop control 13. This step also consists in immediately placing the loop control with itssatellite roller 13 in a parking position. - In this position, the
satellite roller 13 is on the left (see the FIGURE), in the downstream position, against the barrier means 34. This position protects on the one hand thissame loop control 13 against theweb 3 that is arriving, when themotor 17 of the featheringdrive 11 is still running. On the other hand, this position will help access to theweb 3 at the bottom opening of thestorage 32. - The method comprises an additional step, occurring after the step consisting in stopping the
motor 22 of theinfeed arrangement 14 and before the step consisting in stopping themotor 17 of the featheringdrive 11. This step consists in guiding theweb 3 toward thestorage 32, when themotor 17 of the featheringdrive 11 is still running, with the appropriate protection, guidance and barrier means 33 and 34. - By virtue of the invention, when the operator has extracted the small jam of
web 3 or of blanks 6 from the press 2 and when the operator has emptied thestorage 32 by taking out theweb 3, the restart of the machine 1 and of the press 2 will be very rapid. - The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described and illustrated. Many modifications may be made nevertheless without departing from the context defined by the scope of the set of claims.
