Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tamping machine for brooms or brushes, with a bristle magazine, a bundle picker and a stuffing tool.
  • Bundelab #1 between the transfer position and the stuffing position can be adjusted is limited.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a stuffing machine for brooms or brushes, with a higher clock rate can be achieved.
  • the bundle pickup is provided with at least two bundle receiving notches and is adjusted in a single direction of movement.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that the clock rates of the conventional tamping machines were limited in particular by the fact that the bundle pickup, viewed over a complete cycle, has to be accelerated twice and decelerated twice. Starting from the takeover position, the bundle taker has to be greatly accelerated and then strongly decelerated again towards the stuffing position and then accelerated strongly from the stuffing position to the stuffing position Takeover position back again strongly braked.
  • the bundle picker is now provided with more than one bundle receiving notch and driven in one direction only.
  • the bundle pick-up is a wheel circumferentially provided with a plurality of bundle receiving notches. This makes it possible to continue the bundle pickup with a rotary movement in each case so far that a bundle receiving notch passes from the bristle magazine to the stuffing tool.
  • One cycle corresponds to one revolution of the bundle pickup, where n is the number of bundle picking notches. It can be seen that the smaller the distance between the bristle magazine and the tamping tool, the less must be further adjusted the cycle collector cycle. This leads to a higher clock rate. For example, if eight bundle picking notches are used, the bundle picker needs only one-eighth turn per cycle - -
  • the bundle pickup has a circular outer periphery.
  • the bristle magazine can be made to extend directly to the outer circumference of the bundle picker so that the "seal" between the bristle magazine and the bundle picker is ensured without additional effort Then, some of the bristles contained in the magazine are automatically pushed into the bundle receiving notch so that a bundle of bristles is formed in the bundle receiving notch, which is then transported to the stuffing tool.
  • the bundle pick-up has an outer circumference whose radius between two bundle receiving notches is smaller than in the area of the bundle receiving notches.
  • the bundle pick-up in a bundle receiving position in which one of the bundle receiving notches is opposite the bristle magazine, a rapid oscillating movement - -
  • the drive for the bundle pickup may be electronic, for example by a positioning drive (e.g., a servomotor), or mechanically, for example, by an indexing gear or a cam mechanism. According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the
  • the bristles are just received in the bristle magazine, but they are curved in the bundle pickup during transport from the bristle magazine in the stuffing position to the stuffing tool. Again, this leads to a Platzerspamis and prevents unwanted reciprocation of the ends of the bristles during the acceleration and deceleration phase.
  • a plurality of bundle pickups are arranged on a common axis and that each bundle picker is associated with a bristle magazine, wherein the bristle magazines, based on the axis of rotation of the bundle pickup, are aligned in different angular positions.
  • guides are used between two adjacent bundle pickups which guide the bristles of a bristle magazine so that there is no collision with the bristles of the adjacent bristle magazine.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic schematic diagram of a tamping machine according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a tamping machine according to the invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic schematic diagram of a tamping machine according to the invention with a modified mode; and FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of a bundle collector according to a modified embodiment.
  • FIG. 1 the essential components of the tamping machine according to the invention are shown, namely a bristle magazine 10, a bundle pickup 20 and a stuffing tool 30.
  • the bristle magazine contains a plurality of bristles 12, with which a
  • the bristles can be very different bristles, for example, very short, as used for a toothbrush, or for a very long time, as they are used for brooms.
  • the individual bristles are either stored upright in the bristle magazine 10, that is to say elongated, or else curved, as is known, for example, from EP 1 806 066.
  • a slider 14 which holds the bristles tightly together and pushes towards the bundle pickup 20.
  • the bundle pickup 20 is designed as a wheel, which is provided on its otherwise smooth peripheral surface 22 with a plurality of bundle receiving notches 24. In the embodiment shown will be eight
  • Used bundle receiving notches which are arranged at an angle of 45 ° to each other.
  • the bundle picker 20 is arranged so that
  • Outer circumference 22 passes immediately before the exit of the bristle magazine 10.
  • the bundle picker 20 performs step by step
  • the stuffing tool 30, viewed in the direction of rotation of the belt pickup 20, is arranged "behind" the bristle magazine 10. It performs a translatory, reciprocating movement, which is symbolized by the arrow P.
  • the direction of movement is relative to the axis of rotation M.
  • the bundle pick-up 20 is approximately radially aligned, and the bristle magazine 10 is also aligned approximately radially.
  • the described tamping machine operates in the following manner: As soon as a bundle receiving notch 24 is moved past the bristle magazine 10, it fills with a bundle of bristles. This is shown here as bristle bundle 26. The bristle bundle is then moved out of the region of the bristle magazine 10 in the course of the further adjustment of the bundle pickup 20 and then, viewed in a clockwise direction, enters the region of a holding plate 28 whose contour is directly opposite the outer circumference 22 of the bundle pickup 20. The holding plate 28 ensures that the bristle bundle 26 located in a bundle receiving notch 24 is held therein as soon as the bundle receiving notch has left the region of the bristle magazine 10.
  • the bundle pickup must be moved by two cycles, ie by 90 °, until a certain
  • Bundle receiving notch from the bristle magazine 10 reaches the tamping tool 30.
  • a populated bristle receiving notch 24 is in the area of
  • Stopfposition is located. If the stuffing tool would be arranged closer to the bristle magazine, ie at an angular distance of 45 °, a populated
  • Get stuffing tool It is also possible for two or more bristle magazines and stuffing tools to be arranged on the circumference of a bundle pickup 20. so that a bundle receiving notch 24 is fitted twice or more often with a bundle of bristles during one revolution of the bundle pickup 20 and delivers this to a stuffing tool.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a tamping machine which is based on the principle shown in FIG. 1, but uses two assemblies consisting of bristle magazine 10, bundle pickup 20 and tamping tool 30 one above the other.
  • the bundle pickups 20 are arranged on a common drive shaft and therefore rotate at the same angular velocity.
  • the two bristle magazines 10 are arranged in different orientations relative to each other. This is because in each bristle magazine 10 bristles are arranged with a length which is greater than the distance between the two bundle pickups 20. If the two bristle magazines 10 arranged with the same angular orientation, the bristles would interfere with each other.
  • FIG. 2 Another particularity of the tamping machine shown in Figure 2 consists in a guide 40.
  • the bristles are received straight from the bundle pickup 20 in the bristle magazine and then slightly pressed during transport of the guide 40 at its lower ends inward, so that there is no collision with the Bristles of the lower bundle pickup 20 are.
  • the trajectory of the bristle bundles transported by the corresponding bundle pickup 20 is symbolized here by curved surfaces which extend from the corresponding bristle magazine 10 to the corresponding stuffing tool 30 - -
  • the bristles of a bundle of bristles 26 are in a curved or pre-bent condition when entering the stuffing position.
  • Angle ⁇ . is moved for example 5 ° from the transfer position forward and backward. This improves the filling of the corresponding bundle receiving notch 24 with bristles and ensures a uniform
  • Bristle magazine is placed in a shaking motion. This would ensure that the orientation of the bunch receiving notch 24 in the stuffing position relative to the stuffing tool during the
  • FIG. 4 shows a bundle pickup 20 and a bristle magazine 10 according to an alternative embodiment.
  • the difference from the embodiment according to FIG. 1 lies in the configuration of the circumference of the bundle pickup 20.
  • this has a non-circular course, wherein the radius of the circumference fluctuates between a maximum value in the area of the bundle receiving notches 24 and a minimum value in the areas between two bundle receiving notches 24.
  • the bristles in the bristle magazine 10 can first be pushed "forwardly", ie toward the central axis M of the bundle picker 20, since the bristle magazine now has a peripheral portion of the bundle picker 20, which has a smaller radius than in the area of the bundle receiving notch 24. Subsequently, the bristles are pressed back again when the next bundle receiving notch 24 comes into the region of the bristle magazine 10. This movement of the bristles leads to a gleichzeßi geren distribution in the bristle magazine and for faster filling of the free spaces that arise through the removal of the bristle bundles 26. - y -
  • movable segments 16 are provided, which are acted upon by springs 18 against the bundle pickup 20 and act in the manner of scrapers.
