Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for producing a tube, in particular a drinking tube, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the supply of the strip material from a supply roll to the winding device is provided at a certain angle, which determines the area of the overlapping edge zones of the strip material to form a tube.
- the tape material Before the tape material is wound on the winding mandrel, it passes through an adhesive device, as a result of which liquid adhesive is applied to the edge zones in the overlap area.
- the overlapping edge zones of the strip material are fixed to one another, so that a tube is formed which can be transported away from the winding mandrel in the direction of the cutting device.
- the tubes are immersed in paraffin or another medium that seals the paper against moisture so that they can be used as drinking straws.
- Such a device for producing a drinking straw has the disadvantage that a complex design of an adhesive device is provided which is only allowed to apply a very specific amount of adhesive to the strip material and which must be able to be limited and adjusted in the edge zone.
- a complex design of an adhesive device is provided which is only allowed to apply a very specific amount of adhesive to the strip material and which must be able to be limited and adjusted in the edge zone.
- the adhesive will emerge laterally from the overlap area and can therefore be applied to the winding mandrel, which means that bonding or at least difficult winding between the Winding mandrel and band material can be given.
- the adhesive application is too low, so that overlap areas can be present without an adhesive connection. This can lead to disruptions in the production process, since the helical or helical strip material expands and its helical shape can dissolve.
- a further disadvantage is that the paper is coated with paraffin for the production of such drinking straws or that paraffinated paper tape materials are used. Due to the insolubility in water and in high-percentage alcohol of the paraffin, the disposal of such paraffinated straws is no longer permitted, so that the advantages of paraffin as a colorless, odorless and tasteless impregnating agent for straws can no longer be used.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for processing a strip material which enables simple and secure connection of the strip material in the overlap region of the wound helical strip material and a strip material which can be used to produce the tubes, which is disposable and recyclable.
- biodegradable Tape material can be used, which can have the required impregnation properties, for example for use as drinking straws, and at the same time enables a satisfactory adhesive connection in the overlap area of the helically arranged tape material.
- the adhesive device according to the invention has the advantage that a simple and quickly adjustable adhesive device is created, which creates a secure adhesive connection.
- a simple and quickly adjustable adhesive device is created, which creates a secure adhesive connection.
- the surfaces of the coated material can be brought into a state in which they bond to one another and can form a firm connection after the end of the exposure time. It is advantageously provided that the energy can be applied selectively or in planar form.
- the design of the adhesive device according to the invention has the advantage that an adhesive connection can be created without the use of additional adhesives or auxiliaries which are necessary for the formation of a secure adhesive connection. This can save adhesive, for example. Furthermore, a further component for the production of a tube can be omitted which would have to meet the high requirements with regard to disposal and recyclability.
- the adhesive device according to the invention has the advantage that, depending on the tape material used, with a corresponding coating, the type of energy supply can be freely selected and can be adapted to the tape material and to the processing speeds.
- the supply of energy can advantageously be provided in the form of heat, waves, rays or the like.
- the adhesive device is designed as an ultrasound head.
- This advantageously has a sonotrode tip which can be adapted to the width of the adhesive connection or the width of the overlap area, so that, for example, an adhesive connection can be produced over the entire width of the overlapping edge zones.
- Dependent on The ultrasound frequency of the strip material and the coating can be selectable, the sonotrode tip being operated above 20 KHz, preferably in a range from 30 to 60 KHz.
- the adhesive device is designed as a laser.
- a bundled light beam with high energy can act on the overlap area and cause the coating to melt or melt quickly, so that a satisfactory adhesive bond can be produced even at very high working speeds.
- the adhesive device emits electromagnetic waves.
- the adhesive device can be designed as a light source, which has a focusing device that bundles and adjusts the light beams. Analogous to the laser, waves can also act on the overlap area here, whereby an even more cost-effective design can be achieved compared to the laser.
- the adhesive connection can be produced after the winding process.
- the adhesive device is advantageously provided after the winding device.
- the strip material can thus be fed directly from the supply roll to the winding mandrel, the strip material first being converted into a helical tube shape by means of the winding device.
- the adhesive device then creates an adhesive connection between the strip material in the overlap area.
- the strip material is made of a plastic coating, advantageously a coating 5
- This plastic coating is present in a ratio of less than 20 percent by weight to the strip material formed from paper. As a result, such a tube can be disposed of without any problems and is well within the applicable regulations for disposal and recyclability.
- a tape material is formed with a double-sided coating of 5 to 25 g / m 2 , and that 70 to 140 g / m 2 paper can be used as the carrier material.
- the strength of the paper can increase the inherent rigidity of the tube and thus withstand higher kink loads.
- a 110 g / m 2 paper can advantageously be provided.
- the percentage of the plastic coating can be adjusted, it being possible to form a particularly stiff tube with 110 g / m 2 paper and a coating on both sides of 10 g plastic.
- the tube can advantageously be produced with a strip material.
- a double-sided coated strip material is used, in which case the tube is then wound in two layers.
- This two-layer arrangement enables a tube to be designed with a high degree of rigidity.
- the inner and outer band material are advantageously arranged offset from one another, so that a high degree of overlap can be formed.
- the inner and outer layers are wound in such a way that the edge areas of the strip material are butted. This enables a so-called sandwich construction.
- the coating is formed from corn starch or dextrose-containing materials that can be welded by heat. To a certain extent, this coating is also moisture-impregnating. This coating can advantageously be destroyed by bacteria, which are basically present in composting.
- a cutting device is provided with a rotor which is at its free end Has cutting knife.
- This cutting knife is advantageously driven by a three-phase motor, which sets the rotor in sinusoidal rotational movements.
- the rotor is constantly in motion.
- the rotor has a stop-and-go operation. After each full revolution, the rotor is stopped briefly until the required tube length has passed the interface before it is driven again.
- the rotor can be started, for example, as a function of the measured and wound length of the strip material. It can thereby be achieved that the rotational speed is highest at the intersection, whereby a clean cut can be produced.
- the length of the tube can be determined by the sinusoidal course of the angular velocity.
- the axis of rotation of the rotor can be arranged at an acute angle to the direction of transport of the tube.
- the cutting knife can pass diagonally through a cutting gap formed by two counterholders from top to bottom.
- the tube can have a cut end surface which is formed at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the tube. Due to the diagonal course, the cutting knife can cross the cutting gap during the cut, essentially at the transport speed of the tube, so that when viewed at the point of intersection, the system is stationary and a clean cut surface can be formed.

- FIG. 2 shows a schematically enlarged illustration of an adhesive device
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of a cutting device
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic view of the cutting device according to line III-III in FIG. 3.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a device 11 for producing a tube 13.
- Such tubes 13 can be drinking straws, for example, which can be produced from a coated strip material 12.
- a device of this type for the production of stirred hoses and also cable insulation for telephone exchanges or other tubes or tubes which can also be used in other technological fields can be provided.
- the diameter and the wall thickness of these tubes 13 can be adapted to the respective application.
- the device according to the invention can be used to create tubes 13 which have a constant band thickness over the entire length.
- 11 tubes 13 can be produced with this device, which can have a diameter of at least 3 mm in the lower limit region. An upper limit is given by the technologically sensible use of such tubes 13.
- the strip material 12 is drawn off from a supply roll 16.
- the supply roll 16 has a left and right guide disk 17, 18.
- a brake element 19 can furthermore be provided between the guide disks, so that the web material 12 is drawn off in a controlled manner under a low tension from the supply roll 16.

Description
Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Röhrchens Device for producing a tube
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Herstellen eines Röhrchens, insbesondere eines Trinkröhrchens gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for producing a tube, in particular a drinking tube, according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
Aus der US-PS 2 128 564 ist eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von Trinkhalmen be¬ kannt geworden, bei der endloses, streifenförmiges Bandmaterial aus Papier über eine Wickel Vorrichtung und einem Aufspuldom schraubenförmig zur Bildung eines Röhrchens aufgewickelt wird. Von dem dadurch gebildeten Rohrstück werden mit einer scherenartigen Schneidvorrichtung Trinkhalme entsprechend einer vorbestimmten Länge abgeschnitten.From US Pat. No. 2,128,564 a device for the production of drinking straws has become known, in which endless, strip-shaped tape material made of paper is wound helically over a winding device and a winding mandrel to form a tube. Drinking straws corresponding to a predetermined length are cut off from the tube piece thus formed with scissors-like cutting device.
Die Zuführung des Bandmaterials von einer Vorratsrolle zur Wickelvorrichtung ist in ei¬ nem bestimmten Winkel vorgesehen, der den Bereich der überlappenden Randzonen des Bandmaterials zur Bildung eines Röhrchens bestimmt. Bevor das Bandmaterial auf dem Aufspuldorn aufgewickelt wird, durchläuft es eine Klebevorrichtung, wodurch auf die Randzonen im Überlappungsbereich flüssiger Klebstoff aufgetragen wird. Während des Aufwickelvorganges durch die Wickelvorrichtung werden die überlappenden Rand¬ zonen des Bandmaterials zueinander fixiert, so daß ein Röhrchen gebildet ist, das von dem Aufspuldom in Richtung auf die Schneidvorrichtung abtransportiert werden kann. Nachdem die Schneidvorrichtung die Röhrchen auf die gewünschte Länge abgeschnitten hat, werden die Röhrchen in Paraffin oder ein weiteres das Papier gegen Feuchtigkeit versiegelndes Medium getaucht, um es als Trinkhalm einsetzen zu können.The supply of the strip material from a supply roll to the winding device is provided at a certain angle, which determines the area of the overlapping edge zones of the strip material to form a tube. Before the tape material is wound on the winding mandrel, it passes through an adhesive device, as a result of which liquid adhesive is applied to the edge zones in the overlap area. During the winding process by the winding device, the overlapping edge zones of the strip material are fixed to one another, so that a tube is formed which can be transported away from the winding mandrel in the direction of the cutting device. After cutting the tubes to the desired length cut off, the tubes are immersed in paraffin or another medium that seals the paper against moisture so that they can be used as drinking straws.
Eine derartige Vorrichtung zur Herstellung eines Trinkhalms weist den Nachteil auf, daß eine aufwendige Ausgestaltung einer Klebevorrichtung vorgesehen ist, die nur einen ganz bestimmten Betrag an Klebstoff auf das Bandmaterial auftragen darf und dieser in der Randzone begrenzbar und einstellbar sein muß. Darüber hinaus besteht die Ge¬ fahr, daß selbst bei geringem Überschuß an aufgetragenem Klebstoff während des Auf¬ wickelvorgangs der Klebstoff seitlich aus dem Überlappungsbereich austreten und somit auf den Aufspuldorn aufgetragen werden kann, wodurch ein Verkleben bzw. zu¬ mindest ein erschwertes Aufwickeln zwischen dem Aufspuldorn und Bandmaterial ge¬ geben sein kann. Des weiteren kann auch der Fall auftreten, daß der Klebstoffauftrag zu gering ist, so daß Überlappungsbereiche ohne Klebverbindung vorliegen können. Dadurch kann es zu Störungen des Produktionsablaufes kommen, da das wendel- bzw. schraubenförmige Bandmaterial sich aufweitet und seine Wendelform auflösen kann.Such a device for producing a drinking straw has the disadvantage that a complex design of an adhesive device is provided which is only allowed to apply a very specific amount of adhesive to the strip material and which must be able to be limited and adjusted in the edge zone. In addition, there is a risk that even with a small excess of applied adhesive during the winding process, the adhesive will emerge laterally from the overlap area and can therefore be applied to the winding mandrel, which means that bonding or at least difficult winding between the Winding mandrel and band material can be given. Furthermore, there may also be the case that the adhesive application is too low, so that overlap areas can be present without an adhesive connection. This can lead to disruptions in the production process, since the helical or helical strip material expands and its helical shape can dissolve.
Des weiteren ist nachteilig, daß zur Herstellung derartiger Trinkhalme das Papier mit Paraffin beschichtet wird oder daß paraffinierte Papierbandmaterialien verwendet wer¬ den. Durch die Unlöslichkeit in Wasser und in hochprozentigem Alkohol des Paraffin ist eine Entsorgung von derartigen paraffinierten Trinkhalmen heutzutage nicht mehr zuge¬ lassen, so daß die Vorteile des Paraffins als färb-, geruch- und geschmackloses Imprägnierungsmittel für Trinkhalme nicht mehr eingesetzt werden kann.A further disadvantage is that the paper is coated with paraffin for the production of such drinking straws or that paraffinated paper tape materials are used. Due to the insolubility in water and in high-percentage alcohol of the paraffin, the disposal of such paraffinated straws is no longer permitted, so that the advantages of paraffin as a colorless, odorless and tasteless impregnating agent for straws can no longer be used.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung für die Verarbei¬ tung von einem Bandmaterial zu schaffen, das eine einfache und sichere Verbindung des Bandmaterials im Überlappungsbereich des aufgewickelten schraubenförmigen Bandmaterials ermöglicht und ein Bandmaterial zur Herstellung der Röhrchen verwen¬ det werden kann, das entsorgbar und recycelbar ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for processing a strip material which enables simple and secure connection of the strip material in the overlap region of the wound helical strip material and a strip material which can be used to produce the tubes, which is disposable and recyclable.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of the main claim.
Durch die Verwendung eines nicht mit Paraffin beschichteten Bandmaterials und einer energiezuführenden Klebevorrichtung ist ermöglicht, daß biologisch abbaubares Bandmaterial verwendet werden kann, das die erforderlichen Imprägniereigenschaften, beispielsweise für die Verwendung als Trinkhalme, aufweisen kann und gleichzeitig eine zufriedenstellende Klebeverbindung im Überlappungsbereich des wendeiförmig angeordneten Bandmaterials ermöglicht.The use of a tape material not coated with paraffin and an energy-supplying adhesive device enables biodegradable Tape material can be used, which can have the required impregnation properties, for example for use as drinking straws, and at the same time enables a satisfactory adhesive connection in the overlap area of the helically arranged tape material.
Des weiteren weist die erfindungsgemäße Klebevorrichtung den Vorteil auf, daß eine einfache und schnell auf den Überlappungsbereich einstellbare Klebevorrichtung geschaffen ist, die eine sichere Klebeverbindung schafft. Durch die Energiezuführung kann erreicht werden, daß die Oberflächen des beschichteten Materials in einen Zustand übergeführt werden können, in dem diese sich miteinander verbinden und nach Beendigung der Einwirkdauer eine feste Verbindung bilden können. Dabei ist vor¬ teilhafterweise vorgesehen, daß die Energie punktuell oder flächenförmig aufbringbar ist.Furthermore, the adhesive device according to the invention has the advantage that a simple and quickly adjustable adhesive device is created, which creates a secure adhesive connection. Through the supply of energy it can be achieved that the surfaces of the coated material can be brought into a state in which they bond to one another and can form a firm connection after the end of the exposure time. It is advantageously provided that the energy can be applied selectively or in planar form.
Des weiteren weist die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung der Klebevorrichtung den Vorteil auf, daß eine Klebeverbindung geschaffen werden kann, ohne daß zusätzliche Klebstoffe oder Hilfsmittel eingesetzt werden, die für die Bildung einer sicheren Klebe¬ verbindung erforderlich ist. Dadurch kann beispielsweise Klebstoff eingespart werden. Des weiteren kann eine weitere Komponente zur Herstellung eines Röhrchens entfal¬ len, das die hohen Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Entsorgung und Recyclingsfähigkeit erfüllen müßte.Furthermore, the design of the adhesive device according to the invention has the advantage that an adhesive connection can be created without the use of additional adhesives or auxiliaries which are necessary for the formation of a secure adhesive connection. This can save adhesive, for example. Furthermore, a further component for the production of a tube can be omitted which would have to meet the high requirements with regard to disposal and recyclability.
Des weiteren weist die erfindungsgemäße Klebevorrichtung den Vorteil auf, daß in Abhängigkeit des verwendeten Bandmaterials mit einer entsprechenden Beschichtung die Art der Energiezuführung frei wählbar und an das Bandmaterial als auch an die Ver¬ arbeitungsgeschwindigkeiten anpaßbar sein kann. Vorteilhafterweise kann die Energie¬ zufuhr in Form von Wärme, von Wellen, von Strahlen oder dergleichen vorgesehen sein.Furthermore, the adhesive device according to the invention has the advantage that, depending on the tape material used, with a corresponding coating, the type of energy supply can be freely selected and can be adapted to the tape material and to the processing speeds. The supply of energy can advantageously be provided in the form of heat, waves, rays or the like.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Klebevor¬ richtung als ein Ultraschallkopf ausgebildet ist. Dieser weist vorteilhafterweise eine Sonotrodenspitze auf, die auf die Breite der Klebeverbindung bzw. die Breite des Über¬ lappungsbereiches anpaßbar ist, so daß beispielsweise über die gesamte Breite der sich überlappenden Randzonen eine Klebeverbindung herstellbar ist. In Abhängigkeit des Bandmaterials und der Beschichtung kann die Ultraschallfrequenz wählbar sein, wobei oberhalb von 20 KHz, vorzugsweise in einem Bereich von 30 bis 60 KHz, die Sonotrodenspitze betrieben wird.According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the adhesive device is designed as an ultrasound head. This advantageously has a sonotrode tip which can be adapted to the width of the adhesive connection or the width of the overlap area, so that, for example, an adhesive connection can be produced over the entire width of the overlapping edge zones. Dependent on The ultrasound frequency of the strip material and the coating can be selectable, the sonotrode tip being operated above 20 KHz, preferably in a range from 30 to 60 KHz.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Klebevorrichtung als Laser ausgebildet ist. Dadurch kann ein gebündelter Lichtstrahl mit einer hohen Energie auf den Uberlappungsbereich einwirken und eine schnelle An- bzw. Aufschmelzung der Beschichtung bewirken, so daß auch bei sehr hohen Arbeits¬ geschwindigkeiten eine zufriedenstellende Klebeverbindung herstellbar sein kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the adhesive device is designed as a laser. As a result, a bundled light beam with high energy can act on the overlap area and cause the coating to melt or melt quickly, so that a satisfactory adhesive bond can be produced even at very high working speeds.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Klebevorrichtung elektromagnetische Wellen aussendet. Die Klebevorrichtung kann als Lichtquelle ausgebildet sein, die eine die Lichtstrahlen bündelnde und einstellbare Fo- kussiereinrichtung aufweist. In Analogie zum Laser können hier ebenso Wellen auf den Überlappungsbereich einwirken, wobei im Vergleich zum Laser eine noch kostengünstigere Ausgestaltung gegeben sein kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the adhesive device emits electromagnetic waves. The adhesive device can be designed as a light source, which has a focusing device that bundles and adjusts the light beams. Analogous to the laser, waves can also act on the overlap area here, whereby an even more cost-effective design can be achieved compared to the laser.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Klebeverbindung nach dem Aufwickelvorgang herstellbar ist. Die Klebevorrichtung ist vorteilhafterweise nach der Wickelvorrichtung vorgesehen. Das Bandmaterial kann so¬ mit direkt von der Vorratsrolle dem Aufspuldorn zugeführt werden, wobei zunächst das Bandmaterial mittels der Wickelvorrichtung in eine wendeiförmige Röhrchenform über¬ geführt wird. Anschließend wird in dem Überlappungsbereich durch die Klebevorrich¬ tung eine Klebeverbindung zwischen dem Bandmaterial geschaffen. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß bei einem ggfs. zu starken Einwirken der Energie und An- bzw. Aufschmel¬ zen der Oberflächen des Bandmaterials eine Verklebung mit dem Aufspuldorn vermie¬ den werden kann, da unmittelbar nach der Energieeinwirkung dieser Übergangsbereich den Aufspuldorn verläßt. Darüber hinaus weist diese Anordnung den Vorteil auf, daß nachfolgend eine schnelle Abkühlung gegeben sein kann, so daß eine definierte ge¬ zielte Wärmeeinwirkung und dadurch eine definierte Klebeverbindung geschaffen wer¬ den kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the adhesive connection can be produced after the winding process. The adhesive device is advantageously provided after the winding device. The strip material can thus be fed directly from the supply roll to the winding mandrel, the strip material first being converted into a helical tube shape by means of the winding device. The adhesive device then creates an adhesive connection between the strip material in the overlap area. This has the advantage that in the event of excessive action of the energy and melting or melting of the surfaces of the strip material, adhesion with the winding mandrel can be avoided, since this transition region leaves the winding mandrel immediately after the energy has been applied. In addition, this arrangement has the advantage that rapid cooling can subsequently take place, so that a defined targeted heat effect and thereby a defined adhesive connection can be created.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß das Bandmaterial eine Kunststoffbeschichtung, vorteilhafterweise eine Beschichtung aus 5According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the strip material is made of a plastic coating, advantageously a coating 5
Polyethylen aufweist. Diese Kunststoffbeschichtung liegt zu dem aus Papier ausgebil¬ deten Bandmaterial in einem Verhältnis von weniger als 20 Gewichtsprozent vor. Da¬ durch ist ein derartiges Röhrchen problemlos entsorgbar und liegt weit innerhalb der geltenden Vorschriften für die Entsorgung und Recyclingsfähigkeit.Has polyethylene. This plastic coating is present in a ratio of less than 20 percent by weight to the strip material formed from paper. As a result, such a tube can be disposed of without any problems and is well within the applicable regulations for disposal and recyclability.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß ein Bandmaterial mit einer beidseitigen Beschichtung von 5 bis 25 g/m2 ausgebildet ist, und daß als Trägermaterial ein 70 bis 140 g/m2 Papier verwendet werden kann. Durch die Stärke des Papiers kann die Eigensteifigkeit des Röhrchens erhöht werden und somit höheren Knickbelastungen standhalten. Es kann des weiteren vorteilhafterweise ein 110 g/m2 Papier vorgesehen sein. Gleichzeitig kann der prozentuale Anteil der Kunst¬ stoffbeschichtung angepaßt werden, wobei ein besonders steifes Röhrchen bei einem 110 g/m2 Papier und einer beidseitigen Beschichtung von 10 g Kunststoff gebildet wer¬ den kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that a tape material is formed with a double-sided coating of 5 to 25 g / m 2 , and that 70 to 140 g / m 2 paper can be used as the carrier material. The strength of the paper can increase the inherent rigidity of the tube and thus withstand higher kink loads. Furthermore, a 110 g / m 2 paper can advantageously be provided. At the same time, the percentage of the plastic coating can be adjusted, it being possible to form a particularly stiff tube with 110 g / m 2 paper and a coating on both sides of 10 g plastic.
Durch die zweiseitige Beschichtung kann das Röhrchen vorteilhafterweise mit einem Bandmaterial herstellbar sein. Alternativ kann ebenso erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen sein, daß ein zweiseitig beschichtetes Bandmaterial eingesetzt wird, wobei dann das Röhrchen zweilagig gewickelt wird. Durch diese zweilagige Anordnung kann ein Röhrchen mit einer hohen Steifigkeit ausgebildet sein. Das innere und äußere Band¬ material sind vorteilhafterweise versetzt zueinander angeordnet, so daß ein hoher Überlappungsgrad gebildet sein kann. Die innere und äußere Lage sind dabei derart gewickelt, daß die Randbereiche des Bandmaterials auf Stoß liegen. Dadurch ist eine sogenannte Sandwichkonstruktion möglich.Due to the two-sided coating, the tube can advantageously be produced with a strip material. Alternatively, it can also be provided according to the invention that a double-sided coated strip material is used, in which case the tube is then wound in two layers. This two-layer arrangement enables a tube to be designed with a high degree of rigidity. The inner and outer band material are advantageously arranged offset from one another, so that a high degree of overlap can be formed. The inner and outer layers are wound in such a way that the edge areas of the strip material are butted. This enables a so-called sandwich construction.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Beschichtung aus Maisstärke oder dextrosehaltigen Materialien, die über Wärme schweißbar sind, ausgebildet ist. Diese Beschichtung ist bis zu einem bestimm¬ ten Grad ebenso feuchtigkeitsimprägnierend. Vorteilhafterweise kann diese Beschich¬ tung durch Bakterien, die bei einer Kompostierung grundsätzlich vorliegen, zerstört werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it can be provided that the coating is formed from corn starch or dextrose-containing materials that can be welded by heat. To a certain extent, this coating is also moisture-impregnating. This coating can advantageously be destroyed by bacteria, which are basically present in composting.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß eine Schneidvorrichtung mit einem Rotor vorgesehen ist, der an dessen freien Ende ein Schneidmesser aufweist. Dieses Schneidmesser wird vorteilhafterweise mit einem Drehstrommotor angetrieben, der den Rotor in sinusförmige Rotationsbewegungen ver¬ setzt. Dabei ist der Rotor ständig in Bewegung. Es kann alternativ ebenso vorgesehen sein, daß der Rotor einen Stop-and-Go-Betrieb aufweist. Nach jeder vollen Umdrehung wird der Rotor kurz angehalten, bis die erforderliche Rohrlänge die Schnittstelle pas¬ siert hat, bevor dieser wieder angetrieben wird. Der Start des Rotors kann beispiels¬ weise in Abhängigkeit der gemessenen und aufgewickelten Länge des Bandmaterials erfolgen. Dadurch kann erzielt werden, daß im Schnittpunkt die Rotationsgeschwindig¬ keit am höchsten ist, wodurch ein sauberer Schnitt herstellbar ist. Des weiteren kann durch den sinusförmigen Verlauf der Winkelgeschwindigkeit die Länge des Röhrchens bestimmt werden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that a cutting device is provided with a rotor which is at its free end Has cutting knife. This cutting knife is advantageously driven by a three-phase motor, which sets the rotor in sinusoidal rotational movements. The rotor is constantly in motion. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the rotor has a stop-and-go operation. After each full revolution, the rotor is stopped briefly until the required tube length has passed the interface before it is driven again. The rotor can be started, for example, as a function of the measured and wound length of the strip material. It can thereby be achieved that the rotational speed is highest at the intersection, whereby a clean cut can be produced. Furthermore, the length of the tube can be determined by the sinusoidal course of the angular velocity.
Nach einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Rotationsachse des Rotors in einem spitzen Winkel zur Transportrichtung des Röhrchens anordenbar ist. Dadurch kann das Schneidmesser einen durch zwei Gegen¬ halter gebildeten Schneidspalt diagonal von oben nach unten durchlaufen. Durch diese vorteilhafte Anordnung kann erreicht werden, daß das Röhrchen eine Schnittendfläche aufweisen kann, die rechtwinklig zur Längsachse des Röhrchens ausgebildet ist. Durch den diagonalen Verlauf kann das Schneidmesser während des Schnittes im wesentli¬ chen mit der Transportgeschwindigkeit des Röhrchens den Schneidspalt durchqueren, so daß dadurch im Schnittpunkt gesehen das System ruhend ist und eine saubere Schnittfläche ausgebildet sein kann.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention it is provided that the axis of rotation of the rotor can be arranged at an acute angle to the direction of transport of the tube. As a result, the cutting knife can pass diagonally through a cutting gap formed by two counterholders from top to bottom. With this advantageous arrangement it can be achieved that the tube can have a cut end surface which is formed at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the tube. Due to the diagonal course, the cutting knife can cross the cutting gap during the cut, essentially at the transport speed of the tube, so that when viewed at the point of intersection, the system is stationary and a clean cut surface can be formed.
In den weiteren Unteransprüchen sind vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildun¬ gen der Erfindung angegeben.Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are specified in the further subclaims.

The braking element 19 can be designed as a belt resting on at least part of the strip material 12 of the supply roll 16, which has a weight body at its free end.
Das Bandmaterial 12 wird über ein Brems- und/oder Führungselement 22 einem Auf¬ spuldorn 23 zugeführt. Alternativ kann eine Vorheizstation vorgesehen sein, die das Bandmaterial 12 auf eine erhöhte Temperatur erwärmt, bevor das Bandmaterial 12 auf den Aufspuldorn 23 aufgewickelt wird. Dadurch kann das Bandmaterial 12 geschmei¬ diger werden. Des weiteren kann die Herstellung der Klebeverbindung erleichtert sein.The strip material 12 is fed to a winding mandrel 23 via a braking and / or guiding element 22. Alternatively, a preheating station can be provided, which heats the strip material 12 to an elevated temperature before the strip material 12 is wound onto the winding mandrel 23. As a result, the strip material 12 can become smoother. Furthermore, the production of the adhesive connection can be facilitated.
Der Aufspuldorn 23 steht mit einer Wickelvorrichtung 24 in Verbindung. Die Wickelvor¬ richtung 24 ist durch einen endlosen Antriebsriemen 26 ausgebildet, der von zwei Antriebsrollen 27 in Bewegung gesetzt wird. Eine oder beide Antriebsrollen 27 sind von einem Antriebsmotor 28 angetrieben, der über einen Riemenantrieb 29 oder über ein Zahnradgetriebe oder dergleichen mit den Antriebsrollen 27 verbunden ist. Der An¬ triebsriemen 26 weist eine Umschlingung 31 um den Aufspuldorn 23 auf, wobei die Umschlingung 31 an einem Trum 32 vorgesehen ist, das im wesentlichen parallel zur Transportrichtung 21 des Bandmaterials 12 verläuft. Ein gegenüberliegendes Trum 33 kann geradlinig verlaufen, ohne an dem Aufspuldorn 23 anzugreifen. Bevorzugt wird je¬ doch eine Überkreuz-Anordnung der Trum 32 und 33 eingesetzt.The winding mandrel 23 is connected to a winding device 24. The winding device 24 is formed by an endless drive belt 26, which consists of two Drive rollers 27 is set in motion. One or both drive rollers 27 are driven by a drive motor 28 which is connected to the drive rollers 27 via a belt drive 29 or via a gear transmission or the like. The drive belt 26 has a wrap 31 around the winding mandrel 23, the wrap 31 being provided on a run 32 which runs essentially parallel to the transport direction 21 of the strip material 12. An opposite strand 33 can run in a straight line without attacking the winding mandrel 23. However, a cross arrangement of the strands 32 and 33 is preferably used.
Das dem Aufspuldorn 23 zugeführte Bandmaterial 12 wird von der Umschlingung 31 des Antriebsriemens 26 ergriffen, wodurch einerseits das Bandmaterial 12 von der Vor¬ ratsrolle 16 abgezogen wird und andererseits das Bandmaterial 12 wendeiförmig auf den Aufspuldorn 23 aufgewickelt wird. Durch die Umschlingung 31 wird dem Bandma¬ terial 12 der Durchmesser des Aufspuldorns 23 aufgezwungen.The strip material 12 fed to the winding mandrel 23 is gripped by the wrap 31 of the drive belt 26, whereby on the one hand the strip material 12 is pulled off the supply roll 16 and on the other hand the strip material 12 is wound helically onto the winding mandrel 23. The diameter of the winding mandrel 23 is forced onto the band material 12 by the loop 31.
Die Zuführung des Bandmaterials 12 und die Positionierung des Aufspuldoms 23 sind in einem definierten Winkel, vorzugsweise 45°, zueinander angeordnet. Dadurch kann ein Überlappungsbereich 26 der Randzonen 37 des Bandmaterials 12 erzielt werden, der bei einem Bandmaterial mit einer Breite von beispielsweise 15 mm einen Überlap¬ pungsbereich von 2 mm aufweist. In Abhängigkeit der Breite des Bandmaterials 12 und der Winkelanordnung kann der Überlappungsbereich größer oder kleiner ausgebildet sein. Durch die Verschwenkung der Antriebsrollen 27 zum Aufspuldorn 23 kann der Überlappungsbereich 26 beeinflußt und eingestellt werden.The supply of the strip material 12 and the positioning of the winding mandrel 23 are arranged at a defined angle, preferably 45 °, to one another. As a result, an overlap region 26 of the edge zones 37 of the band material 12 can be achieved, which has a region of overlap of 2 mm for a band material with a width of 15 mm, for example. Depending on the width of the strip material 12 and the angular arrangement, the overlap area can be made larger or smaller. The overlap region 26 can be influenced and set by pivoting the drive rollers 27 to the winding mandrel 23.
Der Aufspuldorn 23 ist an einer Haltevorrichtung 38 angeordnet und ist einfach aus¬ tauschbar und auf unterschiedliche Durchmesser der Röhrchen 12 anpaßbar. Nahe der Haltevorrichtung 38 weist der Aufspuldorn 23 eine Luftzufuhr 39 auf, die Kühlluft in den als Hohlkörper ausgebildeten Aufspuldorn 23 zuführt. Dadurch kann die während des Wickelvorganges der Wickelvorrichtung 24 auftretende Erwärmung durch Reibung mit Kühlluft gekühlt werden. Der Aufspuldorn 23 weist hierfür in regelmäßigen Abständen zueinander angeordnete Öffnungen 41 oder Schlitze auf, durch die die Kühlluft austre¬ ten kann. Das erfindungsgemäße Bandmaterial 12 weist eine Papierschicht auf, die ein Gewicht von 50 bis 150 g/m2 aufweist. Die Breite des Bandmaterials 12 kann unterschiedlich ausgebildet sein, wobei sich eine Breite im Bereich zwischen 10 und 25 mm, insbeson¬ dere von 15mm, als vorteilhaft erwiesen hat. Das Papier dient als Trägermaterial einer oberen und unteren Beschichtung und ist geglättet. Alternativ kann auch nicht geglättetes Material verarbeitet werden. Die obere und untere Beschichtung ist aus Kunststoff vorgesehen, wobei vorteilhafterweise Polyethylen aufgebracht ist. Die obere und untere Schicht ist im Verhältnis zum Papier dünn ausgebildet und weist ein Ge¬ wicht von beispielsweise 20g/m2 auf. Bei der Beschichtung des Bandmaterials 12 ist zu berücksichtigen, daß der prozentuale Anteil der Beschichtung gegenüber dem Anteil an Papier kleiner als 20% ist, wobei vorteilhafterweise ein Bereich zwischen 5 und 10 % vorzusehen ist.The mandrel 23 is arranged on a holding device 38 and is easily exchangeable and can be adapted to different diameters of the tubes 12. Near the holding device 38, the winding mandrel 23 has an air supply 39 which supplies cooling air into the winding mandrel 23 designed as a hollow body. As a result, the heating occurring during the winding process of the winding device 24 can be cooled by friction with cooling air. For this purpose, the mandrel 23 has openings 41 or slots which are arranged at regular intervals from one another and through which the cooling air can escape. The tape material 12 according to the invention has a paper layer which has a weight of 50 to 150 g / m 2 . The width of the strip material 12 can be designed differently, a width in the range between 10 and 25 mm, in particular 15 mm, having proven to be advantageous. The paper serves as a carrier material for an upper and lower coating and is smoothed. Alternatively, non-smoothed material can also be processed. The upper and lower coating is made of plastic, advantageously polyethylene being applied. The upper and lower layers are thin in relation to the paper and have a weight of, for example, 20 g / m 2 . When coating the strip material 12, it must be taken into account that the percentage of the coating compared to the proportion of paper is less than 20%, a range between 5 and 10% advantageously being provided.
Vorteilhafterweise kann auch Papier, beispielsweise mit einem Gewicht von 90 bis 140 g/m2 vorgesehen sein, wodurch auch eine höhere Knicksteifigkeit erzielt werden kann. Des weiteren kann vorgesehen sein, daß die Beschichtungen unterschiedlich stark ausgebildet sind, so daß beispielsweise eine Beschichtung auf der Röhrchen¬ innenseite stärker als die auf der Röhrchenaußenseite ausgebildet sein kann. Anwen¬ dungsspezifisch kann das Verhältnis auch umgekehrt sein.Advantageously, paper, for example with a weight of 90 to 140 g / m 2, can also be provided, as a result of which a higher buckling stiffness can also be achieved. Furthermore, it can be provided that the coatings have different thicknesses, so that, for example, a coating on the inside of the tube can be made stronger than that on the outside of the tube. Depending on the application, the ratio can also be reversed.
Nachdem das Bandmaterial 12 durch die Wickelvorrichtung 24 zumindest eine wen¬ deiförmige Umwicklung aufweist, wird das Röhrchen 13 einer Klebevorrichtung 46 zu¬ geführt. Die Klebevorrichtung 46 ist als eine auf den Überlappungsbereich 36 der Randzonen 37 energiezuführende Vorrichtung ausgebildet, wie in Fig. 2 vergrößert dar¬ gestellt ist. Dadurch wird die Beschichtung des Bandmaterials 12 derart beeinflußt, daß eine Änderung des Aggregatzustandes hervorgerufen wird, wodurch im Überlappungs¬ bereich 36 eine Klebeverbindung zwischen den sich überlappenden Randzonen 37 des Bandmaterials 12 herstellbar ist.After the tape material 12 has at least one helical wrap through the winding device 24, the tube 13 is fed to an adhesive device 46. The adhesive device 46 is designed as a device that supplies energy to the overlap region 36 of the edge zones 37, as shown enlarged in FIG. 2. As a result, the coating of the strip material 12 is influenced in such a way that a change in the state of aggregation is brought about, as a result of which an adhesive connection between the overlapping edge zones 37 of the strip material 12 can be produced in the overlap region 36.
Die Klebevorrichtung 46 ist als ein Ultraschallkopf ausgebildet, der eine Sonotroden¬ spitze 51 aufweist, die im wesentlichen der Breite des Überlappungsbereiches 36 entspricht. Es kann ebenso vorgesehen sein, daß die Spitze breiter oder schmaler als der Überlappungsbereich 36 ausgebildet ist. Die Klebevorrichtung 46 wirkt unter Berührung oder berührungslos mit Ultraschallschwingungen auf den Überlappungsbe- reich 36 ein, wodurch eine Wärmezufuhr gegeben ist und eine Verklebung der Randzo¬ nen 37 erfolgt.The adhesive device 46 is designed as an ultrasound head which has a sonotrode tip 51 which essentially corresponds to the width of the overlap region 36. It can also be provided that the tip is wider or narrower than the overlap region 36. The adhesive device 46 acts on the overlapping surface under contact or without contact with ultrasonic vibrations. rich 36, whereby heat is supplied and the peripheral zones 37 are glued.
Durch die Wärmezufuhr wird die Polyethylenbeschichtung erwärmt und aufgeschmol¬ zen. Dabei werden Temperaturen zwischen 80 und 160° erreicht, in denen das Poly¬ ethylen verarbeitbar ist. Die aneinanderliegenden Beschichtungen der Randzonen 37 im Überlappungsbereich 36 können somit miteinander verschmolzen werden.The supply of heat heats and melts the polyethylene coating. Temperatures between 80 and 160 ° are reached in which the polyethylene can be processed. The adjoining coatings of the edge zones 37 in the overlap area 36 can thus be fused together.
Die Sonotrodenspitze 51 kann vorteilhafterweise an den Außendurchmesser des Auf- spuldorns 23 angepaßt sein und zumindest teilweise über ein Segmentbereich an dem Aufspuldorn 23 anliegen. Dadurch kann ermöglicht sein, daß trotz einer hohen Trans¬ portgeschwindigkeit des Bandmaterials 12, die bis zu 120 m/min betragen kann, ein Aufschmelzen der Beschichtung und eine Klebeverbindung zur Herstellung eines stei¬ fen Röhrchens 13 gegeben sein kann.The sonotrode tip 51 can advantageously be adapted to the outer diameter of the mandrel 23 and at least partially rest against the mandrel 23 over a segment region. This can make it possible that despite a high transport speed of the strip material 12, which can be up to 120 m / min, the coating can melt and an adhesive connection can be produced to produce a stiff tube 13.
Die Sonotrodenspitze 51 ist austauschbar an dem Ultraschallkopf der Klebevorrichtung 46 angeordnet. Diese kann in Breite und Größe an den Überlappungsbereich 36 an¬ paßbar sein. Ebenso können die Ultraschallschwingungen an die Art des Bandmate¬ rials 12 anpaßbar sein, so daß in Abhängigkeit der Beschichtungsstärke und der Beschichtungsart die Wärmezufuhr regelbar und punktuell einstellbar sein kann.The sonotrode tip 51 is exchangeably arranged on the ultrasound head of the adhesive device 46. This width and size can be adapted to the overlap area 36. Likewise, the ultrasonic vibrations can be adapted to the type of strip material 12, so that the heat supply can be regulated and selectively adjusted depending on the coating thickness and the type of coating.
Das auf dem Aufspuldorn 23 gebildete Endlosröhrchen wird nach der Klebevoπichtung 46 der Wickelvorrichtung 24 zugeführt. Alternativ kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß die Klebevorrichtung 46 hinter der Wickelvorrichtung 24 oder nahe an dem freien Ende 47 des Aufspuldoms 23 angeordnet ist, damit nach der Wärmeeinwirkung ein schnelles Abkühlen gegeben sein kann, um sicherzustellen, daß die Klebeverbindung sich nicht nachträglich lösen kann. Des weiteren kann ggfs. aus den Randzonen 37 abfließende Beschichtung nicht auf den Aufspuldom 23 gelangen, so daß ein reibungsfreier Ab¬ transport des Röhrchens 13 von dem Aufspuldorn 23 ermöglicht ist.The endless tube formed on the winding mandrel 23 is fed to the winding device 24 after the adhesive device 46. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the adhesive device 46 is arranged behind the winding device 24 or close to the free end 47 of the winding mandrel 23, so that rapid cooling can take place after the action of heat, in order to ensure that the adhesive connection cannot become detached afterwards. Furthermore, the coating flowing out of the edge zones 37 may not reach the winding mandrel 23, so that the tube 13 can be removed from the winding mandrel 23 without friction.
Alternativ kann vorgesehen sein, daß ein beschichtetes Bandmaterial 12 eingesetzt wird, welches bei Erwärmung keine Klebeeigenschaften aufweist. Dann ist vorteilhafter¬ weise vorgesehen, daß in Zuführrichtung des Bandmaterials 12 gesehen vor dem Auf¬ spuldorn 23 eine Klebestation angeordnet ist, die streifenförmig in den Randzonen 37 Klebematerial aufträgt, damit auf dem Auspuldorn 23 ein Endlosröhrchen gewickelt werden kann. Hierbei kann ebenfalls die Klebevorrichtung 46 verwendet werden oder eine Walzenvorrichtung, die den erforderlichen Anpreßdruck auf die Randzonen auf¬ bringt, damit eine Klebeverbindung geschaffen werden kann.Alternatively, it can be provided that a coated strip material 12 is used which has no adhesive properties when heated. Then it is advantageously provided that, seen in the feed direction of the strip material 12, an adhesive station is arranged in front of the winding mandrel 23, which applies strip material in the edge zones 37 so that an endless tube is wound on the winding mandrel 23 can be. The adhesive device 46 can also be used here, or a roller device which applies the required contact pressure to the edge zones so that an adhesive connection can be created.
Das auf dem Aufspuldorn 23 in Verbindung mit der Klebevorrichtung 46 gebildete Endlosröhrchen wird über ein Führungselement 54 einer Schneidvorrichtung 56 zu¬ geführt, die die Röhrchen 13 auf eine vorbestimmte Länge abschneidet. Die abge¬ schnittenen Röhrchen 13 werden in einem Behälter 57 aufgenommen.The endless tube formed on the mandrel 23 in connection with the gluing device 46 is fed via a guide element 54 to a cutting device 56 which cuts the tubes 13 to a predetermined length. The cut tubes 13 are received in a container 57.
In Fig. 3 und 4 ist die Schneidvorrichtung 56 schematisch dargestellt. Die Schneidvor¬ richtung 56 besteht aus einem Antriebsmotor 61 , der über eine Drehachse 62 einen Rotor 63 antreibt. An einem freien Ende 64 des Rotors 63 ist ein Schneidmesser 66 vorgesehen, das während einer Umdrehung einen Schneidspalt 67 durchläuft, der durch einen linken und rechten Gegenhalter 68, 69 gebildet ist. Die Gegenhalter 68, 69 weisen eine Bohrung 71 mit Einführschrägen 72 auf, in denen das auf dem Führungselement 54 zugeführte Endlosrohr läuft. Das nach einem Schnittvorgang im linken Gegenhalter 68 abgetrennte Röhrchen wird durch den nachfolgenden Transport in Transportrichtung 21 des Endlosröhrchens aus dem Gegenhalter 68 ausgestoßen und in dem Behälter 47 aufgefangen. Die Drehachse des Antriebsmotors 61 , der vor¬ teilhafterweise als regelbarer Drehstrommotor ausgebildet ist, steht in einem spitzen Winkel α zu einer Horizontalen, in der das Endlosröhrchen transportiert wird. Dadurch durchläuft das Schneidmesser 66 in einer Diagonalen den Schneidspalt 67, wobei die Diagonale von rechts oben nach links unten verläuft. Diese Einstellung in einem spitzen Winkel α weist den Vorteil auf, daß eine rechtwinklige Schnittfläche zu dem Röhrchen 13 geschaffen werden kann.3 and 4, the cutting device 56 is shown schematically. The cutting device 56 consists of a drive motor 61 which drives a rotor 63 via an axis of rotation 62. At a free end 64 of the rotor 63, a cutting knife 66 is provided which passes through a cutting gap 67 during one revolution, which is formed by left and right counterholders 68, 69. The counterholders 68, 69 have a bore 71 with insertion bevels 72, in which the endless tube fed on the guide element 54 runs. The tube separated after a cutting process in the left counter holder 68 is ejected from the counter holder 68 by the subsequent transport in the transport direction 21 of the endless tube and is collected in the container 47. The axis of rotation of the drive motor 61, which is advantageously designed as a controllable three-phase motor, is at an acute angle α to a horizontal in which the endless tube is transported. As a result, the cutting knife 66 runs through the cutting gap 67 in a diagonal, the diagonal running from the top right to the bottom left. This setting at an acute angle α has the advantage that a right-angled cut surface to the tube 13 can be created.
Der Rotor 63 des Antriebsmotors 61 wird über eine Steuerung sinusförmig angetrieben. Dabei liegt die höchste Geschwindigkeit des Schneidmessers 66 im Schneidspalt 67, damit ein sauberer Schnitt erfolgen kann. Durch die Ansteuerung der Rotationsge¬ schwindigkeit des Rotors 63 nach einem sinusförmigen Verlauf kann die Länge des Röhrchens 13 einstellbar sein.The rotor 63 of the drive motor 61 is driven sinusoidally via a control. The highest speed of the cutting knife 66 lies in the cutting gap 67 so that a clean cut can be made. The length of the tube 13 can be adjustable by controlling the speed of rotation of the rotor 63 according to a sinusoidal course.
Das Schneidmesser 66 ist unter einem Winkel δ zu dem freien Ende 64 des Rotors 63 angeordnet, so daß beim Durchlaufen des Schneidspaltes 67 die Schnittiefe stetig zunimmt. Dadurch kann ein sauberer Schnitt erzielt werden. Das Schneidmesser 66 kann in seiner Winkelposition auf die Größe des Durchmessers angepaßt werden, so daß bei beispielsweise einem großen Durchmesser des Röhrchens 13 ein großer Win¬ kel δ zu wählen ist, damit ein vollständiger Schnitt erfolgt. The cutting knife 66 is arranged at an angle δ to the free end 64 of the rotor 63, so that the cutting depth is continuous as it passes through the cutting gap 67 increases. This enables a clean cut to be achieved. The cutting knife 66 can be adjusted in its angular position to the size of the diameter, so that, for example with a large diameter of the tube 13, a large angle δ must be selected so that a complete cut is made.
