Definitions
- the invention relates to a transport device with a transport path for removing workpieces from a cutting or punching device and a delivery star arranged downstream of the transport path for setting up the horizontally guided workpieces.
- a transport device has become known from EP 338 297 B1, by means of which circular workpieces, which are punched out of a web with minimal punching waste, are aligned with one another in columns and rows. These aligned workpieces can now be easily layered and packaged.
- Accelerator rollers are transferred to a delivery star, are set up from the delivery star from the horizontal orientation to a substantially vertical orientation and are accumulated in this direction and then packaged.
- the pads are damaged or at least deformed due to the accelerator rollers, and / or that the parts are introduced into the delivery starters inaccurately or incorrectly. This method is therefore not or only partially suitable for such workpieces.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a transport device with which workpieces can be accumulated without any problems and as far as possible without damage, so that they can be fed to a packaging machine.
- a transport and guide unit gripping the workpieces on the underside and / or the top is provided between the transport path and the delivery star, in that the transport and guide unit has essentially the same transport speed as the transport path and Delivery star and that the transport and the guide unit is arranged such that it guides the workpieces into the receptacles of the delivery star.
- the configuration of the transport device according to the invention has the essential advantage that the workpieces are transferred from the transport track to the transport and guide unit at a constant speed, and are therefore treated more gently in contrast to an accelerated transfer.
- targeted guidance is achieved by placing the transport and guide unit on both the upper side and the lower side of the workpiece, so that the workpiece is placed exactly in the delivery star.
- the workpieces are therefore inserted into the receptacles of the delivery star and are not thrown or shot in, as in the prior art. Since the workpieces are not accelerated, the workpieces do not have to be braked, since the workpieces are transferred evenly from the transport path via the transport and guide unit to the delivery star.
- the transport and guiding unit is formed by a lower and an upper conveyor belt, the conveyor belt being formed by at least two rings arranged next to one another, in particular O-rings.
- the conveyor belt Due to the subdivision of the conveyor belt into conveyor strips or O-rings, the conveyor belt can be easily inserted between the receptacles of the delivery star, which are formed in particular by receiving fingers. In this way, the transfer of the workpiece from the conveyor belts to the delivery star is possible without any problems.
- the delivery star and the upper and the lower conveyor belt have separate drives. In order to avoid differences in the transport speed between the upper and the lower conveyor belt, in another embodiment these components have a common drive. In addition, it is provided that the delivery star and the transport and guide unit have a common drive, so that it is ensured that during the transfer, the workpiece from the conveyor belts to the delivery star the workpiece is not accelerated or braked.
- the common drive is formed by a drive belt which is placed around the drive elements of the transport and guide unit or the delivery star.
- the delivery star is driven by the transport and guide unit. This has the essential advantage that in the event of fluctuations in the transport speed, these are passed on by the transport and guidance unit to the delivery star and the relative synchronization is thereby maintained.
- a receptacle is provided at the exit of the delivery star, at which the workpieces assume an essentially vertical position, in which the workpieces are placed one behind the other.
- This receptacle has a slotted end into which slots the delivery star engages with its transport fingers, the end of the receptacle lifting the workpieces out of the delivery star.
- a pipe or a pipe-like collecting device connects to the receptacle.
- this tube-like collecting device is formed by a plurality of parallel rods, between which the workpieces may be guided with little friction.
- the friction can be set so that the workpieces are held in a vertical orientation, but transport in the longitudinal direction of the collecting device is not hindered.
- the rods are only in point contact with the edges of the workpieces, so that the frictional forces are minimal.
- the use of rods also has the advantage that the cross-section of the collecting device can be optimally adapted to different cross-sectional shapes of the workpieces. In this way, round, oval, rectangular, etc. designed workpieces can be collected and transported.
- a transport device in particular a transport finger, is provided which engages in the collecting device and can be moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the collecting device.
- This transport finger By means of this transport finger, the in the Workpieces located are transported further and / or pushed out.
- the transport finger is moved into or into these after a certain number of workpieces placed behind the delivery star or in the collecting device and moves with these workpieces or pushes them in the transport device in the transport direction until a further specific number of workpieces has been deposited and then pushes the remaining workpieces from the collecting device into a transfer cartridge located after the collecting device.
- This transfer cartridge is moved into the working path of an ejector unit after filling, so that the workpieces located in the transfer cartridge can be inserted into a filling cartridge by means of the ejector unit, in particular by means of a stamp.
- This filling cartridge is part of a packaging machine in which the workpieces located in the filling cartridge are finally packaged.
- Figure 1 is a side view of a device for
- Figure 2 shows a device for transporting and stacking the punched workpieces
- Figure 3 is a plan view of the device of Figure 1;
- Figure 4 is a side view of a delivery star with transport and guide unit.
- FIG. 1 shows a device, generally designated 1, for cutting or punching round workpieces 2 (FIG. 3), for example cotton pads, from a material web 3.
- This device 1 has a conventional structure and is provided with a rotary cutting cylinder 4 with counter roller 5.
- the workpieces 2 are laid out on a transport path 6 and the lead frame 7 is discharged as punch waste and is usually wound up.
- FIG. 2 shows the continuation of the transport path 6, on which the workpieces 2, as shown in FIG. 3, are transferred to a transport and guide unit 8.
- This transport and guide unit 8 is located after the transport path 6.
- the transport and guide unit 8 transfers the workpieces 2, as described in more detail below, to a delivery star 9, with which the workpieces 2 are aligned from a horizontal position into a vertical position become.
- the workpieces 2 are transferred from the delivery star 9 to a receptacle 10 (FIG. 4) in which the workpieces 2 are placed one behind the other.
- This receptacle 10 is followed by a collecting device 11 which is formed from a plurality of rods 12 or tubes which are aligned parallel to one another.
- the workpieces 2 are moved in the direction of a transfer cartridge 13 by means of a transport finger 14, which can be moved vertically into the delivery star 9 or into the collecting device 11 and moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis thereof.
- transfer cartridges 13 are connected to one another via chain links 15 and can be transferred from the pushed-together position shown in FIG Have distances from each other.
- the transfer cartridges 13 can be raised from a position in which they are aligned with the collecting devices 11 by means of a drive 17, so that they are aligned with a stamp 18 of an ejector unit 19.
- the workpieces 2 located in the transfer cartridges 13 are inserted into filling cartridges (not shown), via which the workpieces 2 are then packed in a suitable packaging machine.
- the distance between the transfer cartridges 13 can be adjusted such that it corresponds to the distance between the filling cartridges arranged next to one another.
- FIG. 4 shows the transport and guiding unit 8 and the delivery star 9, which connect to the transport track 6.
- the transport and guide unit 8 has one 11
- the transport and guide unit 9 has a lower conveyor belt 23 which is guided around a transport roller 24 and around a section 25 of the delivery star 9.
- a drive belt 26 can be seen, which rotates in the direction of arrow 27 and is guided around deflection rollers 28 and 29, the transport rollers 21 and 24 and a deflection roller 30. In this way, the two transport rollers 21 and 24 are driven at the same angular velocity.
- the delivery star 9 is also driven via the conveyor belt 23. This can also be driven by its own drive motor.
