Description

Method for filling wire material box and hair bundle separator

The invention relates to a method for filling a wire box with bristles of loose parallel bristles by means of at least one wire channel of a tuft separator. In addition, the present invention relates to a hair tuft separator of a brush plugging machine. The hair tuft separator is provided with a hair tuft extractor. The hair tuft extractor is provided with at least one receiving guide groove for separating the hair tufts, and has There is a wire box with at least one wire channel in which loose bristles are placed side by side, wherein the at least one wire channel has an end open toward the tuft extractor, so that the bristles are squeezed toward the tuft extractor, and The wire channel has a filling end for inserting the bristles.

This type of tuft separator works at a limit speed to continuously supply the separated tufts to the brush-plugging machine. In this regard, a rotation speed of 1000 rpm or faster has been implemented in practice. The separated tufts contain a few bristles. However, due to the high frequency of rotation, it is also important to put new bristles in the wire box. The bristles, which can be pre-cut or partially sharpened and/or rounded, will be supplied in the form of bristle packs (so-called "balls") or in the form of strands and cut. These bristle packs contain hundreds or thousands of trimmed bristles, and the side-by-side fixing of these bristles is only through the use of so-called bristle pack shells to fix the bristle packs (that is, all the bristles) together. The bristle pack shell restricts the bristle pack, that is, the term "bristle pack" is defined as a whole composed of hundreds or thousands of loose and side-by-side bristles in a bristle pack shell.

Before placing the bristle pack into the associated wire channel, remove the bristle pack shell mechanically or manually. The placement of the bristle pack can also be achieved manually or fully automatically.

This automatic filling process is known from EP 0 184 844 B1. In this process, several bristle packs are placed in several shafts, and then several separated bristle packs and their shells are removed in a workbench. Operation. To this end, the bristle pack and its shell are placed in the operating room, and then the bristle pack shell is destroyed by pressure and cutting tools. The outer shell of the bristle pack is automatically removed, and then the bristle pack horizontally placed in the operating room is transported to the wire box.

DE 103 56 316 A1 shows a similar device. The bristle pack placed in the shaft and still with the bristle pack shell is cut open and then held by two grasping arms, so that even if the bristle pack shell can no longer hold the bristle pack reliably, the bristles will continue to hold Its location. Subsequently, manually take out the bristle pack sandwiched between the two grab arms and put the bristle pack into the wire box.

Finally, DE 697 01 828 T1 shows a clamp that receives a bristle pack from a receiving position and feeds the bristle pack to a wire box. The bristle pack shell is manually removed before unloading the bristle pack to the receiving position.

The object of the present invention is to create an improved method and an improved hair tuft separator, both of which have the following characteristics, that is, the tuft separator has a simple structure and therefore has excellent operational stability. In addition, the method according to the present invention should be able to achieve as simple operation as possible and possess process reliability.

In this regard, the method for filling at least one wire channel of the tuft separator wire box with a bristle pack of loose parallel bristles according to the present invention provides the following steps: Provide an intermediate storage that is separated from the wire box and has a certain distance from the wire box, Provide mechanical transport equipment for bristle packs, Remove the bristle pack shell of the bristle pack, and then The bristle pack is placed in one of the receivers of the intermediate storage, and the bristle packs placed in the receivers are surrounded laterally, and Take out the bristle package from the receiver and transport the bristle package to the associated wire channel, and pack the bristles into the wire channel by the transport device. The last step, starting from taking out the bristle package from the receiver to packing the bristle into the wire channel, is completely performed by the transport equipment.

The method according to the present invention has the following feature: a large number of bristle packs can be loaded into a larger intermediate storage, and the bristle packs no longer have a bristle pack shell. Before packing the bristles into the associated receiver, the bristle pack shell can be manually removed in advance. The receiver itself is not a disposable product, but a part of the intermediate storage. Thereby, there is no more bristle pack housing in the fully automated phase of the method according to the invention. With the method according to the present invention, the partially complicated and partially expensive hair tuft separator under the prior art will be greatly simplified. Despite this simplification, a large number of receivers can store a lot of bristle materials, so that the operator does not have to add bristle packs all the time.

In particular, the method according to the present invention uses a jig by means of which the bristle pack is transported and the bristles are packed into a wire box. In this clamp, the bristles of the bristle pack are enclosed from the outside. No further safeguards are required.

One type of the receiver that is particularly simple is a cup-shaped or ring-shaped receiver into which the bristle pack can be accommodated. The receiver has exactly the cross-sectional area required to receive, enclose and grasp the bristle packet from the bristle packet housing. Alternatively, a clamp can also be used as a receiver.

The transport device can be connected with a clamp containing a bristle package and transport the bristle package to the wire channel and load it into the wire channel. Subsequently, the clamp can be returned to the intermediate storage by the transport device and then disconnected from the transport device there.

A large number of receivers can be provided in the intermediate storage, and bristle packs with different bristles are installed in these receivers, where multiple wire channels are provided, and the bristles of one wire channel are different from the bristles of another wire channel . This means that different bristles, such as bristles of different colors, are stored in an intermediate storage. Each color has one or more receivers, and another color has other receivers that are far from the former. Therefore, when there are multiple wire boxes to be assembled, different intermediate storages are not provided, but one intermediate storage is provided.

For these multiple receivers of different bristles in a common intermediate storage, a single transport device can be used, which transports the bristle packs from the receivers to all the wire channels. Compared with the method in which each wire channel provides a dedicated transportation device and, if necessary, a dedicated intermediate storage, the method according to the present invention is simpler and more cost-effective in this respect.

Optionally, the intermediate storage can move the receiver to a delivery position directed toward the transportation device. In other words: For example, when a bristle pack with white bristles is needed because the corresponding wire channel is too empty, the intermediate storage will transport the receiver filled with white bristles to the delivery location in a step-by-step manner. Position the receiver is received by the transportation device. This achieves higher flexibility overall.

In addition, the above-mentioned object is solved by a hair bundle separator of the aforementioned type. In this regard, there is an intermediate storage for loosening the bristles separated from the wire box, and the intermediate storage has a plurality of separated, refillable Receivers, which are used for prefabricated bristle packs with side-by-side bristles, and have mechanical transport equipment that packs the bristles in the receiver into at least one wire channel. As previously explained in the method according to the present invention, the hair tuft separator according to the present invention is characterized by a simple structure and therefore relatively high reliability.

A jig that is moved by the transportation device can be provided, the jig surrounds and holds the bristle pack from the periphery, and the bristle pack is released in the wire channel after the jig transports the bristle pack to the wire box.

The clamp can be permanently installed on the transportation equipment and thereby operate as a separate clamp for the transportation equipment.

The receiver can be designed as a cup or ring in order to hold the bristle pack from the periphery. The bristle pack, that is, the bristle pack with the outer shell of the bristle pack removed as described above, is enclosed in the receiver, whereby the plurality of bristles maintain their positions relative to each other.

The bristle pack can protrude upward from the receiver, and the clamp is designed as follows, that is, the clamp can hold the protruding part of the bristle pack and hold it tightly and remove it.

In addition to the cup-shaped or ring-shaped receiver, optionally, in the intermediate storage, a separate and detachable clamp on the intermediate storage can serve as the receiver. The transport device can be connected to the clamp in order to move the clamp to the wire box. To deliver the bristle pack, the clamp can be opened at the wire box.

According to a solution of the present invention, the clamp has clamping jaws that are pre-tensioned toward each other and which collectively surround the bristle pack, so that the clamp can also hold the bristle pack when there is no energy supply.

In particular, the intermediate storage has a plurality of receivers, and the intermediate storage is movable toward the transportation device to move a predetermined bristle package to a delivery position for the transportation device to receive.

One solution of the present invention provides the following, that is, multiple wire channels are provided and the bristles of one wire channel can be different from the bristles of other wire channels. In this regard, a common transportation device is provided for receiving different bristle packages from The device is transported to the associated wire channel.

In FIG. 1, a tuft separator 10 is shown, which has a tuft extractor 12 that can move around a rotating shaft, and the tuft extractor 12 is adjacent to a wire box with two adjacent wire passages 14 and 16. The wire channels 14, 16 contain loose bristles placed side by side. The longitudinal direction of the bristles enters and leaves the marking plane. Different types of bristles, such as bristles of different colors, are represented by different shaded parts, that is, the bristles contained in the wire channel 14 are different from the bristles contained in the wire channel 16.

Each wire channel 14, 16 has an open end facing the tuft extractor 12 and a filling end 18 in the opposite direction, where the tuft can abut the tuft extractor 12, and at the filling end 18 A pressure device is usually provided to press the bristles in each wire channel 14, 16 toward the tuft extractor 12.

With these filling ends 18, other bristles can be added.

The two wire channels 14, 16 arranged side by side can be moved relative to the tuft extractor 12 by the transportation device in the direction indicated by the arrow G, so that one of the two wire channels 14, 16 can be turned into an activated state, In this activated state, the tufts of hair are taken out from these wire passages 14, 16. The wire taking operation of the bristle bundle is realized in a known manner, that is, the tuft extractor 12 with the receiving guide groove 20 moves along the wire box that is turned into the activated state, and the adjacent bristles are covered during this movement. Press into the receiving guide groove.

The diverter 22 at the edge of the wire channels 14, 16 in the activated state prevents the bristles in the wire channels 14, 16 that are not in the activated state from being pressed out, or prevents the surface of the wire channels 14, 16 in the activated state from being affected in width However, the tuft extractor 12 moves along the surface in the area of the wire channels 14, 16 in the activated state.

Subsequently, the tuft extractor 12 transports the separated bristle tufts to the plugging tool 24 with the plugging tongue 30 which makes a reciprocating movement toward and away from the brush body 28. Then, the separated bristle bundles are pushed into the openings on the brush body 28 by means of the plug tongue 30 or other transportation medium. There are different methods for fixing the bundles of bristles with or without anchors, namely methods that work by means of thermoforming or injection molding or similar methods. Alternatively, the separated bristle bundle can also be filled into a supply container or orifice plate, and then the separated bristle bundle can be transported to the bristle holder by means of the supply container and the separated bristle The bundle is loaded into the bristle holder.

Loose bristles are usually cut or purchased additionally and packed side by side in so-called bristle packs. The bristles in the bristle pack are surrounded from the periphery by the bristle pack shell and are therefore firmly held so that the tufts cannot move relative to each other. The bristle pack shell is in the form of a flag and can be made of plastic or paper. Hundreds or thousands of bristles are pre-processed and packed into this bristle pack, and the bristles can be pre-sharpened or rounded.

In view of the extremely fast operation of the tuft extractor 12 and the close proximity of the wire channels 14, 16 and the tuft extractor 12, the end 18 is usually used to supply the bristle material, and this process is currently realized in an automated manner.

Currently, the tuft separator 10 includes an intermediate storage 32 separated from the wire channels 14, 16, which can be moved by means of a symbolic drive 40.

As shown in the figure, the intermediate storage 32 may be a rotating disc, a conveyor belt or a conveyor chain, which is only an example. The receiver is part of the intermediate storage 32, that is, a large number of receivers 42 are located on various movable parts which contain the complete bristle pack 44, 46 without the bristle pack housing. The bristle pack 44 is fed into the wire channel 16 and the bristle pack 46 is fed into the wire channel 14 to fill these wire channels with bristles of corresponding specifications again.

For the bristle packs 44 and 46, the bristle pack shells are manually removed and placed in the corresponding receivers 42.

Subsequently, further filling operations are completed automatically. For example, when the operator does not need to put a certain bristle pack into a certain receiver 42, the sensor can recognize the type of the bristle pack loaded into each receiver 42. The corresponding control device then knows which type of bristles are loaded into which receiver 42.

A transportation device 50 is provided. The transportation device 50 has a robot that moves in at least two directions and is purely motorized (electrically driven, hydraulically driven, and/or pneumatically driven) or more generally a manipulator 52, in the manipulator A clamp 54 with two clamping jaws 56, 58 is mounted on 52. The clamping jaws 56, 58 can rotate toward or away from each other. In order to limit the receiving port 60 when the clamp has been rotated toward each other, the receiving port 60 can be Receive and hold the bristle pack completely.

In the illustrated and non-restrictive solution, the clamps 62 also constitute the receiver 42. The clamps 62 are part of the intermediate storage 32 and the jaws 64, 66 of the clamps 62 can also face or separate from each other. Rotation, for example, a spring is rotated in one direction, and an actuator mounted under the disc rotates in the other direction. In the open state shown by the clamp 62 in FIG. 1, the bristle pack can be loaded into the receiver 42 very easily. The clamping jaws 64, 66 are then closed to hold or clamp the bristle pack just installed.

In the further process, when the minimum number of bristles in any wire channel 14, 16 is detected, the driver 40 is immediately activated to move the corresponding bristle pack 44, 46 to the delivery position 68. In this case, The delivery position 68 is, for example, in the rotation position of the corresponding disk in the direction of about 4:30.

The clamp 54 is opened and moved to the receiving position by means of the transport device. As shown in FIG. 2, since the bristles of the bristle packs 44 and 46 protrude upward relative to the receiver 42 (here, relative to the clamp 62 ), the clamp 54 can grasp the bristle packs 44 and 46 above the receiver 42. Either the clamp 54 pulls out the bristle pack in the receiving position from the receiver 42, or, in the present case, the clamp 62 in the receiving position can be opened after the bristle pack 46 is grasped by the clamp 54 to make the bristle pack 46 is easy to take out.

Then, the transport device 50 moves the taken-out bristle pack 46 to the associated wire box. In this regard, it is optionally possible to open a pretensioning mechanism or a pressing mechanism at the end 18 that is not shown in the figure in a usual manner.

The embodiment according to FIGS. 3 and 4 differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in that the receiver 42 is designed in a cup shape in this case. At the same time, the cross-section of the cup-shaped receiver 42 is adapted to the cross-sections of the bristle packs 44 and 46, so that the bristle bundles are fixed together in the receiver. The bristles protrude upward from the receiver 42 so that the clamp 54 can grasp the bristle pack 44 and 46 to be taken out and put it into the corresponding wire channel 14 and 16. In addition, components that are the same or have the same function are marked with used symbols here for reference to the above-mentioned embodiments.

5A to 5F illustrate different possibilities of how to equip and implement the receiver 42. These possibilities are not exhaustive.

Fig. 5A discloses the variant shown in Figs. 3 and 4 with a cup-shaped receptacle 42 having a bottom not shown and a circumferential wall 72 closed at the periphery.

The circumferential wall 72 has an upper front face 74, which is flat in the embodiment according to FIG. 5A. In contrast, the front face 74 has an inwardly tapered shape toward the bottom in the embodiment according to FIG. 5B An extended cone 76 which acts as an introduction slope for the bristle pack 44,46.

When the cross-sectional shape of the receiver 42 according to FIGS. 5A and 5B is circular, the receiver 42 can also adopt any other shape, such as the elliptical shape shown in FIG. 5C, and the outer circumferential surface 78 of the receiver 42 It is also elliptical, in contrast, the outer circumferential surface 78 in the embodiment according to FIG. 5D is circular and the receiver 42 remains elliptical.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 5E, a clamp 62 is used as the receiver 42 with the previously illustrated clamping jaws 64 and 66, which overlap each other when in the closed state, so as to form a closed receiver 42 reliably. In this regard, the receiver 42 also has a circular cross section, but this is not restrictive. The clamping jaws 64 and 66 can rotate around the rotation axis A. The clamping jaws 64 and 66 can also interact with each other by springs, especially pretensioned by springs.

In the solution according to FIG. 5F, a base 80 is provided as the receiver 42. Optionally, the base also has receiving openings for the bristle packs 44, 46 or is flat on the upper side of the base. A clamp 62 with clamping jaws 64 and 66 is fixed on the base 80. Each of the clamping jaws 64 and 66 has a separate rotation axis A. The support arm 82 is separated from the clamping jaws 64 and 66 by the rotation axis. There is a spring 84 in between, which preloads the jaws 64, 66 to the clamping position.

As can be seen in FIG. 5F, the inner sides of the jaws 64, 66 can have any shape to form any shape of the bristle pack 44, 46.

The depth of the cup receiver 42 or the height at which the clamp 62 holds the bristle pack 44, 46 should be at least 25% of the bristle length, preferably at least 30% of the bristle length. When using clamps 62, according to the length of the bristles, the distance between the clamps 62 and the bottom of the receiver 42 should be at least 25% of this length, and more preferably at least 30% of this length, so as to firmly hold the bristle pack 44 , 46.

The receiver 42 may be permanently fixed to the intermediate storage 32, or it may be detachably fixed to the intermediate storage 32, or only on the corresponding surface. In this case, a sensor must be provided, which detects the state of the receiver 42 to move the clamp 56 accordingly.

The advantage of the oval bristle bag in the receiver 42 is that the wire channels 14, 16 already have parallel walls and are generally elongated. The flat side of the ellipsoid of the receiver 42 shown here has a distance which preferably corresponds to the distance of the width of the wire channels 14 and 16. The bristle pack is usually supplied in a circular ring shape, so that the operator manually adjusts the bristle pack and puts it in the oval receiver 42 after removing the outer shell.

It is advantageous that the receiver 42 can be detached from the remaining part of the intermediate reservoir 32, and then the cup receiver with the manually inserted bristle packs 44, 46 can be knocked or the cup receiver can be placed on the vibrating table Above, so that all the bristles of the bristle pack 44, 46 are also close to the bottom of the receiver 42. The correspondingly filled receiver 42 is then placed on the intermediate storage 32 or connected there.

In another embodiment shown in simplified form in FIG. 6, the transportation device 50 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 is used without the clamp 54. More specifically, the clamp 62 can be relieved from the middle by the transportation device 50 The remaining part of the storage 32 is connected. The two clamping jaws 64 and 66 can rotate towards each other. The rotation axis A is formed in the following manner. For example, within the scope of the axis A, the clamping jaw 64 has a ring-shaped protrusion on its lower side, and the protrusion is located on the clamping jaw 66. Corresponding annular guide grooves on the upper side engage to form a rotating bearing. The clamp 62 has a receiving port 88 around the shaft A, into which a feeder 90 on the transportation device 50 can be inserted. For example, the feeder 90 may have outwardly elastically deformable lock pieces 92, and the lock pieces 92 may also actively move toward each other again, so that the lock pieces 92 can be connected to the transport device 50 again after receiving the clamp 62. Separate.

Likewise, the clamp 62 can be opened by the transport device 50, which accordingly has an actuator that acts in the direction indicated by the arrow B in FIG. 6. The emptied clamp 62 can be immediately taken out from the transportation device 50 in order to manually fill and place the clamp 62 in the intermediate storage 32 again, or place the emptied clamp 62 on the empty position of the intermediate storage 32.

A ring receiver can also be used instead of a cup receiver, that is, a ring standing on a vertical metal piece (Steg) from the bottom to form a grid.
