Le fonctionnement de la machine qui vient d'être décrite est le suivant.The operation of the machine which has just been described is as follows.
Dans la position de départ (figure 1), les fleurs 2 sont placées dans le panier 1 avec leurs têtes logées dans le gabarit 24, 26, 41. Le gabarit peut être réglé entre une position de chargement minimal (figure 18) et une posi¬ tion de chargement maximal (figure 19) par le bouton mo¬ leté de réglage 17. Dans cette position de départ, une feuille 22 déroulée depuis le rouleau supérieur est ten¬ due sur la face intérieure de la partie rabattable 24 et sur le fond 41 du gabarit (figures 1 et 13). La pince 11- 12, ouverte, est encastrée dans le panier 1 (figure 8).In the starting position (Figure 1), the flowers 2 are placed in the basket 1 with their heads housed in the template 24, 26, 41. The template can be adjusted between a minimum loading position (Figure 18) and a posi ¬ maximum loading position (Figure 19) by the adjusting knob mo¬ leté 17. In this starting position, a sheet 22 unwound from the upper roller is ten¬ due on the inner face of the folding part 24 and on the bottom 41 of the template (Figures 1 and 13). The clamp 11-12, open, is embedded in the basket 1 (Figure 8).
Dans un premier mouvement, la partie pivotante 12 de la pince se rabat en se refermant sur les queues des fleurs 2 pour les maintenir (figure 9). Le bras de soudage 35 se rabat sur les feuilles 22 pour les souder ensemble (figu¬ re 14) et la partie fixe 26 du gabarit coulisse sur la pièce 20, ce qui tend la feuille 22 sur la tête des fleurs.In a first movement, the pivoting part 12 of the pliers folds down, closing over the stems of the flowers 2 to hold them (FIG. 9). The welding arm 35 is flap on the sheets 22 to weld them together (fig 14) and the fixed part 26 of the template slides on the piece 20, which tightens the sheet 22 on the head of the flowers.
Après soudage, le gabarit se retire (figure 15), la par¬ tie rabattable 24 du gabarit pivote et le bras de souda¬ ge 35 se relève.After welding, the template is withdrawn (Figure 15), the folding part 24 of the template pivots and the welding arm 35 is raised.
Ensuite, l'ensemble chariot 14, pince 11-12 sort du pa¬ nier 1 qui s'incline et revient en position de départ par la coopération du galet 13 avec la piste 10.Then, the carriage assembly 14, clamp 11-12 leaves the basket 1 which tilts and returns to the starting position by the cooperation of the roller 13 with the track 10.
Le gabarit revient à nouveau en place, ce qui permet de recommencer un remplissage en fleurs, pendant que la bot¬ te précédente est liée par les lieurs 42 en partie supé¬ rieure et en partie inférieure de la botte. La pince 11- 12 s'ouvre en libérant la botte de fleurs qui est éjec¬ tée par l'éjecteur 44.The template returns again in place, which allows to start again a filling in flowers, while the previous bot¬ te is linked by the linkers 42 in upper part and lower part of the boot. The clamp 11-12 opens by releasing the bundle of flowers which is ejected by the ejector 44.
L'ensemble chariot 14 - pince 11, 12 s'abaisse ensuite et revient se positionner dans le panier 1 en passant par dessous.The carriage 14 - clamp 11, 12 assembly then lowers and returns to position in the basket 1, passing underneath.
La machine peut commencer immédiatement un nouveau cycle.The machine can immediately start a new cycle.
Diverses variantes peuvent être apportées à la machine qui vient d'être décrite à titre d'exemple.Various variants can be made to the machine which has just been described by way of example.
En particulier, la pince 11-12, au lieu d'être commandée par un chaîne de transmission, peut être commandée par des biellettes.In particular, the clamp 11-12, instead of being controlled by a transmission chain, can be controlled by links.
En outre, le panier 1 peut être fixe, non incurvé et constitué par un simple plateau ajouré permettant le pas¬ sage des pinces 11-12. Selon la variante de la figure 27, on peut encore pré¬ voir d'articuler l'assise de soudage inférieure 27 sur le même axe que le bras soudeur 35, son réglage en hauteur se faisant par le bouton moleté 17 qui est alors disposé en face avant.In addition, the basket 1 can be fixed, not curved and constituted by a simple perforated plate allowing the passage of the clamps 11-12. According to the variant of FIG. 27, it is also possible to see the articulation of the lower welding seat 27 on the same axis as the welding arm 35, its height adjustment being made by the knurled button 17 which is then placed in front face.
L'ensemble du gabarit 20 peut être remplacé par un pous¬ soir 25a (figure 27) qui se retire longitudinalement sous le panier 1.The whole of the template 20 can be replaced by a pous¬ evening 25a (FIG. 27) which is withdrawn longitudinally under the basket 1.
Le chariot 14 peut être monté sur une glissière horizon¬ tale ou verticale. The carriage 14 can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical slide.
