Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a production line and a method for producing deep-drawn plastic objects according to the features in the preambles of claims 1, 18, 26, 27, 28, 63, 67, 74, 77 and 103, respectively.
- DE 91 08 344 Ul discloses a device for molding, punching and stacking deep-drawn parts made of thermoplastic material.
- This device has a molding tool which comprises a stationary upper part and a movable lower part.
- the lower part of the molding tool is seated on a shaping table which can be raised and lowered by a drive, the shaping table being displaceable between a horizontal shaping alignment level and a deviating ejector alignment level.
- Ejector for the finished plastic parts are assigned to the lower part of the mold, which can be actuated via an ejector drive in the ejector alignment plane.
- the lower part of the mold is pivoted during and / or after a vertical downward movement of the mold table about an axis fixed to the table from its shaping alignment plane into an ejector alignment plane, the ejectors being coupled to the ejector drive by the pivoting movement.
- Such a design of the device is intended to enable a large number of different ejector alignment levels for the lower part of the mold to be approached without the need to replace the cam disks for the cam disk drives.
- the disadvantage here is that due to the local separation of the ejector drive from the ejector the latter only has to be coupled to the ejector drive in the course of the downward or pivoting movement of the shaping table, so that an increase in the cycle time of the device is only possible to a limited extent.
- a generic device for molding, punching and stacking of deep-drawn parts is also known from DE 40 33 534 AI.
- this device which in turn comprises a height-adjustable upper part and a height-adjustable and pivotable lower part
- a servo motor should make it possible to change the movement sequence of the pivoting movement to move the lifting movement, this change being achieved solely by another programming of the control.
- the disadvantage here is that the movement sequence of the servomotors can only be specified in certain areas by means of a device control, and that it is also difficult to optimize the cycle time due to the underlying movement mechanics.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for producing thermoformed plastic to create objects from at least one plastic film in which productivity can be increased by increasing the cycle time.
- An advantage of such a film transport device is that the plastic film can always be transported through the device in the correct position. It is thus possible to carry out a height adjustment, which is required, for example, by tools arranged in the device. The height adjustability is always advantageous if the device is equipped to hold a wide variety of tools, which differ in their dimensions, in particular their height dimensions. With such a
- the lateral adjustability also makes it possible to compensate for the dimensional changes in the plastic film due to a possible temperature change during the transport of the plastic film through the device, in particular the expansion of the plastic film in a vertical direction on the conveying and / or fixing strands, so that the plastic film is at least approximately in one horizontal plane can be transported.
- An embodiment according to claim 2 is also advantageous, since it is thus possible to create a conveyor line from individual chain links, as a result of which the conveyor line is not rigid, but rather can be adapted to the production conditions in a certain range over its entire length .
- an embodiment according to claim 3 is also advantageous, since a simple possibility can thereby be created with which a safe transport of the plastic film can be carried out.
- each of the single chains can be driven exactly and thus the plastic film can be fed to the device at corresponding intervals in the cycle time. Because the drives have only one electrical bridge are interconnected, it is possible that a drive takes over the positioning of the plastic film in the device and the second drive tracks the movement of the first. This can effectively counteract any distortion of the plastic film.
- the width adjustment device With the help of the width adjustment device according to claims 9 to 11, it is possible in a simple manner to adapt the width of the film transport device to the width of the plastic film, so that the latter can be transported through the device substantially approximately flat.
- the width adjustment device By designing the width adjustment device as a spindle, an exact width adjustment of the conveyor lines is possible.
- an essentially conical course of the conveying strands in the direction of the molding unit can be set with the aid of the spread, which has the advantage that an increase in the width of the plastic film due to heating can be compensated for.
- the development according to claim 12 can be advantageously achieved that the automatic adjustment of the width of the film transport device can be preselected or that this is carried out based on material characteristics and / or empirical values.
- the advantage can thus be achieved that the production process is no longer deliberately disturbed from the start of starting up the device and an increase in the number of cycles of the device is thus possible.
- An embodiment variant according to claim 13 is advantageous, according to which an automatic readjustment of the width of the film transport device is possible during the production process.
- a plastic film change can be facilitated by the advantageous embodiment variant according to claim 14 and the preferred embodiment of the film feed with a guide is advantageous since the plastic film can thus be appropriately positioned and fed to the film transport device.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the characterizing features in claim 18.

- the use of infrared rays for heat transfer from the radiator to the plastic film also has the advantage over contact heating that there is no direct contact between the plastic film and the heat-transferring surface of the radiator, so that the risk of accidental adhesion of the plastic film to this heating surface is effective can be countered.
- the use of preferably radiation bodies made of metal enables good heat conduction in the radiation bodies and thus rapid heating of the plastic film, as a result of which the overall length of the heating device can advantageously be shortened with respect to the conveying direction of the plastic film.
- the good thermal conductivity of the radiation bodies formed from metal also enables the heating device to be regulated well with respect to an approximately constant temperature, since undesired heat storage effects in the radiation bodies do not have to be expected.
- an embodiment according to claim 20 is advantageous, since the arrangement of an upper and lower heating means that rapid heat transfer into the plastic film can take place, so that higher cycle rates can subsequently be achieved.
- an embodiment variant according to claim 21 is also advantageous since it makes it possible to position the heating device exactly above or below the plastic film, so that an optimal temperature distribution can be achieved in the plastic film.
- a development according to claim 22 can advantageously achieve improved heat radiation into the plastic film and thus an improved temperature profile in the plastic film.
- the temperature of each radiation body can be measured or regulated individually, so that an optimization of the heat transfer to the plastic film and thus a more uniform heating of the latter is possible.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the features in the characterizing part of claim 26. It is advantageous that by arranging inflow openings in the area of the pre-stretcher or in the area of an opening of the preform from the plastic film, a pressure medium such as e.g. Compressed air, can be supplied by the pre-stretcher during the pre-deformation of the plastic film and thus the pre-deformation of the plastic film is supported by the pressure medium. With this support, a faster pre-deformation of the plastic film can subsequently be achieved, and the cycle time for the production of a plastic object can thus also be increased. Supporting the pre-deformation with pressure media can, however, also advantageously have the effect that the maintenance intervals for the pre-stretcher can be extended due to the relief of a pre-stretcher drive, so that production costs can subsequently be saved.
- a pressure medium such as e.g. Compressed air
- the invention is also solved by the features in the characterizing part of claim 27.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the characterizing features of claim 28. It is advantageous that the torque peaks occurring due to the lifting and swiveling movement can be reduced, and thus the mechanical load on the drive or the device can be reduced.
- the arrangement of a prestressable spring device can further assist acceleration, as a result of which not only can the drive be made smaller, but also the cycle time can be reduced.
- An embodiment variant according to claim 29 is advantageous, according to which the speed of the lifting movement of the molding table can be changed in a simple manner.
- embodiment variants according to claims 31 and 32 are also advantageous, according to which, on the one hand, two cam disks are available for the upward movement of the molding table, i.e. in the time when the drive or a force transmission device is under greater load, whereas the downward movement of the molding table, which places less strain on the device, also saves costs only one cam can be executed.
- a further development according to claim 34 is also advantageous, since it is thus possible to preform the plastic film into the cavity and thus the energy for the final deformation of the plastic film can be reduced.
- connection of the drive device with a drive shaft via a toothed belt according to claim 37 enables a space-saving variant of the power transmission and can also dampen the drive.
- Swiveling movement can be carried out automatically during the downward movement of the lower bridge.
- An embodiment according to claim 39 is advantageous, since it ensures a long service life of the scenes by supporting the pivoting movement by means of a pressure medium cylinder, e.g. of a pneumatic cylinder can be achieved. Energy can also be saved through a pressure control system.
- the adjustment range of the upper bridge can advantageously be secured during operation and any accidental damage to the device can be effectively counteracted.
- an embodiment according to claim 41 is also advantageous, according to which the molding unit can be separately fastened to a support frame with oscillating devices, since this can dampen peak impacts that can arise due to production.
- a further development according to claim 43 is advantageous, according to which the ejector stroke can be easily adapted to a wide variety of plastic objects.
- an embodiment variant according to claim 48 is also advantageous, since it can thereby be achieved that the plastic objects can be held in their respective positions during the swiveling movement of the molding table, and premature ejection of the latter can thus be prevented.
- the arrangement of an energy block for supplying energy to the lower bridge according to claim 49 advantageously enables a clear and maintenance-friendly design of the connections for the cooling, for the electrical energy, the compressed air, etc. However, this also improves the clarity of the device.
- an embodiment according to claim 50 is also advantageous, since it makes it possible to produce plastic objects with so-called hollow floors by exerting pressure on the still viscous plastic object in the region of the floor.
- Designs according to claims 51 to 54 are also advantageous. Prevent the movement of the lower bridge from starting as long as the pre-stretcher is not completely in its retracted position or the start of the supply of the supporting mold air for pre-deformation or the mold air for the final molding of the plastic objects can be determined via an absolute encoder. However, it is also possible to monitor the running time of the pre-stretcher and this can be visualized. It is also possible to control the pre-stretch stroke remotely.
- a hold-down device in the area of the upper bridge tool according to claim 56 enables a non-corrugated holding of the plastic film at the beginning of the shaping. It is advantageous if, according to claim 57, inflow openings are provided for a pressure medium in the area of the hold-down device, since this enables the hold-down device to respond quickly and consequently to increase the cycle time.
- a further development according to claim 58 is advantageous, according to which an analog control of the hold-down air is possible.
- a muffler can be arranged so that health impairments of the operating personnel, in particular hearing, can be avoided.
- Embodiment variants according to claims 60 to 62 are also advantageous, since they allow automatic regulation and / or control of the device, e.g. all movements are possible. However, this also makes it possible to operate the device remotely or to store repair modules for all components, preferably with self-configuration, a manual with operating instructions or error analysis etc. in the control. It is also possible that all assembly steps for components and tools are stored in memory elements of the control and these can be called up by the operating personnel if necessary, for example on a screen. It is also advantageous that it is possible to carry out an automatic operating data acquisition or to save the driving parameters of the device for later evaluation or reuse.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the features in the characterizing part of claim 63.
- the advantage here is that the lifting and / or swiveling movement of the molding table is carried out with the aid of a toothed segment arrangement.
- a space-saving arrangement of the drive device for the molding table can thus be achieved, since the toothed segment plate assigned to the toothed segment arrangement can be arranged in the region of the support frame of the device. Due to the oscillating tooth segment plate, the shaping table guided in a link plate can execute the corresponding movements, in particular the lifting and the pivoting movement, via a connecting rod.
- this drive system can be designed to be substantially vibration-stable and thus additional devices for vibration damping, for example spring devices, do not have to be arranged in the device.
- the toothed segment arrangement can reduce the shock transmission into the drive, which can occur, for example, due to the production process, so that the mechanical loads on the device, in particular on the drive, can be reduced. It is also advantageous that all movements of the Form tables can be executed and few mechanical components are required for movement. It is advantageous that the movement takes place essentially in the side cheeks of the support frame of the device, so that the area of the molding unit opposite the feed of the plastic film to the molding unit is essentially free for additional components or the molding unit: the following devices.
- An embodiment variant according to claim 64 is advantageous, since it enables a simple construction of the device, in particular of the drive.
- the advantage can be achieved that the size of the toothed segment plate can be chosen to be smaller and thus the space required for the entire drive can be further reduced.
- An embodiment according to claim 66 is also advantageous, since it is thus possible to lower the molding table by a certain amount before the pivoting movement, and the movement sequence can thus be carried out with only one link, preferably two.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by the features in the characterizing part of claim 67.
- the advantage can be achieved that certain device components do not overheat or overheat due to the heat radiation from the heating device or the heat transfer from the plastic film to these components. It is thus possible to adapt the temperature in the components of the device to optimal production conditions and the cycle time can thus be increased. In addition, this makes it possible to process different plastic films with the device, and it is therefore also possible to change plastic films of different materials quickly.
- an embodiment variant according to claim 68 is also advantageous.
- the arrangement of a plurality of separate cooling circuits in the device enables targeted and optimized heat dissipation from the points which would otherwise be subject to excessive temperature stress.
- it can also be used to prevent overheating of device parts, the arrangement of several cooling circuits making it possible to selectively dissipate different amounts of heat from different device parts.
- these can also be tempered to a different temperature level with the aid of the separate cooling circuits, and thus an optimization of the temperatures in the device with a view to an optimization of the cycle time is possible.
- a refinement according to claim 69 is advantageous, since it allows a simple control of the temperature of the cooling medium, for example in a primary circuit, or it is thus possible to set different temperatures in the different cooling circuits. It can also further increase the security of the cooling system, for example against excessive pressure.
- an embodiment according to claim 71 is also advantageous, since the arrangement of a cooling channel in the region of a surface of the carrier frame of the film transport device facing away from a contact surface of the device on the one hand prevents direct radiation of the cooling medium into the plastic film and on the other hand the film transport device at the desired temperature level can be held.
- the additional cooling of the cooling plates according to claim 73 makes it possible to protect the plastic film in the region of the molding assembly from the action of the heating device, so that a piece of plastic film which is uniformly tempered to the respective cycle is available.
- the invention also includes a production line according to claim 74. It is advantageous that the device according to the invention is preceded by a driven roller stand, so that the film does not have to be pulled down from a roller due to a tensile force acting on it, but is almost free of any Stress can be handled. As a result, the advantage can be achieved that not only can the plastic film be threaded more easily into an initial region of the device, but that due to the elimination of a large part of the mechanical load on the plastic film, possible damage or tensioning of the latter in the inventive manner Device can be countered effectively.
- the invention also encompasses a process for the production of deep-drawn plastic articles according to claim 77. It is advantageous in this process that the plastic film is used with the aid of a pressure medium, e.g. a pressurized gas, in addition to the pre-deformation using a pre-stretcher.
- a pressure medium e.g. a pressurized gas
- This not only enables the prestretch drive to be relieved due to the lower resistance that the plastic film opposes to the prestretch, but also enables the plastic film to be adapted more quickly and easily to the surface of the cavity in one tool. It is therefore also possible to optimize the cycle time, for example by adapting the overpressure of the pressure medium to the respective material properties.

- noise development possible and can also reduce the cost of maintenance.
- the object of the invention is also achieved by an embodiment according to the features in the characterizing part of claim 103.
- the advantage here is that the pivoting movement of the molding table is now driven and the vertical movement can thus be performed at least approximately 100%.

- the plastic film 4 can be placed on or in a corresponding storage or transport container, e.g. a pallet or the like.
- the length of the plastic film 4 should in this case also advantageously be chosen so that production is possible over a longer period of time. This can be achieved, for example, by arranging a plurality of layers of plastic film 4 one above the other, with no separation of the plastic film 4 being present between the individual layers.
- the plastic film 4 can be fed directly from the roll holder 5 to the device 1 without further devices being arranged in between.
- a support, lifting or transport system 7 is arranged between the roller holder 5 and the device 1, which is formed, for example, from at least two rollers, at least one roller having a drive, for example a servo motor.
- this transport system 7 it is possible, in particular if the roll holder 5 does not have its own drive, that the plastic film 4 is unwound from the roll 6 and fed to the device 1.
- Two of these rollers of the transport system 7 can be arranged in such a way that the plastic film 4 is passed between these rollers and thus the transport of the plastic film 4 can take place due to the forces transmitted by the driven roller.
- These rollers can be arranged one above the other in the vertical direction, the distance between the rollers should be chosen such that at least a portion of the plastic film 4 is in contact with both the upper and the lower roller of the transport system 7 at the same time.
- a can preferably be between the roll holder 5 and the device 1 Measuring system 8 may be arranged.
- the measuring system 8 can be formed, for example, by a light barrier, but preferably two light barriers are used and the plastic film 4 is passed between these two light barriers.

It can thereby be achieved that an amount of plastic film 4 corresponding to the production process, in particular the cycle time, is always available.
- the reference points can be used, for example, the vertical positions of light barriers arranged vertically one above the other.
- the measuring system 8 comprises, for example, two light barriers

This can be recognized if the plastic film 4 is not guided between the light barriers within a height 11 and thus breaks through at least one of the two light barriers of the measuring system 8, which results in a measured value with the aid of which the controller 10 uses appropriate drives to transport the plastic film can set the correct position of the plastic film 4 again and thus the loop 9 has a predeterminable length which lies within a predeterminable length range.
- the desired length or the desired length range can be stored in the controller 10 as setting values.
- both the transport system 7 and the measuring system 8 are arranged between the device 1 and the roll holder 5, the loop 9 being able to be formed in front of or behind the transport system 7 in the conveying direction of the plastic film 4.

- a measured value, which is forwarded to the control 10, can always arise when the plastic film 4 rests on one of these measuring rollers and thus the loop 9 has a length which corresponds to either the minimum or the maximum of the predeterminable length range for the loop 9.
- This measured value can arise, for example, from the rotation of one of these measuring rollers caused by the plastic film 4. It is also conceivable, for example, if a device for increasing the temperature of the plastic film 4 or for tempering it is assigned to the roll holder 5, that the respective Length of the loop 9 is determined via temperature sensors of the measuring system 8. In this case it is even possible that this can only be determined using a single sensor.
- the measured value can result from the possibly corrected temperature increase or decrease in the temperature sensor.
- the measuring sensors 8 of the measuring system 8 used should ensure that the plastic film 4 is guided within a height 11.
- Another possibility of measuring the length of the loop 9 is to use partially mechanical systems. For example, with the aid of a rocker arm, which can include a roller at its front end, which rests on the plastic film 4, the respective angle between the rocker arm and, for example, a vertical plane running through the pivot point of the rocker arm can be measured and this measured value can be sent to the controller 10 to get redirected. It can apply that the larger the angle between the rocker and the vertical plane, the shorter the loop 9 and, as a result, measures to extend the loop 9 may have to be taken as a result.
- a linearly movable dancer roller can also be arranged. It is also conceivable that the length of the loop 9 with the help of other physical quantities, e.g. is measured inductively or capacitively or via ultrasonic sensors.
- the roller holder 5 In order to ensure that the plastic film 4 is guided within the height 11 through the measuring system 8 or between its measuring sensors, it is possible for the roller holder 5 to be equipped with a retaining brake and / or with a drive, for example an electric motor, a servo vomotor or the like. Equipped. These can be connected to the controller 10, for example via electrical lines. It can thereby be achieved that the plastic film 4 is not pulled down from the roll holder 5, but rather is fed to the device 1 at appropriate intervals.

It is also possible for the extruder 13 to be assigned a measuring system, with the aid of which the thickness of the plastic film 4 emerging from the slot nozzle is measured and thus an automatic regulation of the thickness of the plastic film 4 can be done. For example, the capacitive change between the measuring device and a guide roller arranged underneath for the plastic film 4 can be used as the measured variable.
- the arrangement of an extruder 13 also has the advantage that the lead frame leaving the device 1, that is to say the waste which arises in the production process, can be fed back to the extruder 13 and thus not only waste prevention can be achieved, but also plastic waste Is available, which is of the same type as the plastic film 4 used.

- This can achieve the advantage that the chain links 22 are subject to less abrasion, for example due to the correspondingly directed tensile forces, or do not stick to the plastic film 4. This can occur, for example, when the single chain 21 is guided vertically if, due to the heating of the plastic film 4, it penetrates into the area between the side cheeks 27 of the chain links 22.

- the preform is thereby given its final shape by pressing against the surface of the mold cavities in the lower tool 98.
- the tools used in each case can be shaped in accordance with the desired plastic object 2.
- containers, such as cups with a grooved edge can be produced using an appropriate tool, or it is possible, in particular when optimizing the width of the film transport device 19, to process already printed plastic films 4 without distortion.
- the pressure medium used for the pre-deformation to be discharged via emptying openings and for the final deformation of the plastic film 4 to be carried out by means of a so-called two-pressure method by re-supplying pressure medium.
- the lower bridge 91 After the final shaping of the plastic objects 2, the lower bridge 91 initially remains in its position so that the plastic objects 2 can be cooled and solidified in the process.
- the lower bridge 91 executes a short upward stroke in the direction of the upper bridge 90, so that the plastic objects 2 are separated from the rest of the plastic film 4 due to this punching stroke.
- the molding table 114 is moved in the direction of the contact surface 24 with the aid of several scenes, which can consist, for example, of the cam disks 120 and the cam guides 123, whereby the cam disks 120 can be designed such that they can overlap and a continuous movement of the shaping table 114.
- the cam disks 120 should have a circumferential shape which enables the main drive of the device 1, for example the servo geared motor 117, to work without interruption and at the same time the mold table 114 is at a standstill if necessary, for example during the shaping of the plastic objects 2.
- the pivoting movement of the forming table 114 should be carried out at the earliest when the lower bridge 91 has carried out a downward stroke by a certain amount, using a pressure medium which moves a piston rod of a pneumatic cylinder 124, or this pressure medium support can be used in addition to guiding in the scenes, in particular scenery plates. respectively.
- the pneumatic cylinder 124 can also act as a spring for the movement of the molding table 114. To save energy, it is possible not to completely ventilate or relax the pneumatic cylinder 124.
- the shocks caused by the movement of the molding table 114 are absorbed by rubber buffers or other springs, so that the device 1 can be designed to be vibration-damped overall.
- the plastic objects 2 In order to prevent inadvertent ejection of the plastic objects 2 during the movement of the molding table 114, it is possible for the plastic objects 2 to be held during this movement by means of negative pressure acting on at least a partial area of the surface of the mold cavities.
- the cycle of the molding unit 12 is completed by the molding table 114, with the aid of a cam disk 120, performing an upward stroke in the direction of the upper bridge tool 172, the required pivoting movement from the ejector position 104 into the mold - In turn position 103 can in turn be supported by a pressure medium cylinder, for example the pneumatic cylinder 124.
- the finished plastic objects 2 can subsequently be counted and / or transferred to a printing device 17 and / or a packaging device 18.
- All measurement data recorded during production can be digitally transferred to the regulating and / or control device 36 for checking and / or storage, and automatic readjustment is possible on the basis of these measurement data. Furthermore, it is possible to follow the entire production process using this measurement data on a visual output device, for example a screen 105, in particular a touch-sensitive screen, and process parameters can be changed, in particular readjusted, via this screen 105 by using a touch-sensitive screen 105.
- a visual output device for example a screen 105, in particular a touch-sensitive screen
- a so-called absolute encoder for example an incremental encoder, in the area of the drive shaft 119 of the main drive can be used as a reference point for determining the respective production status of the molding assembly 12 and it is possible to use all other process parameters. align the meter to this reference point.
- comparison values are stored in the data memories of the regulating and / or control device 38, an automatic comparison with the actual values and subsequently an automatic regulation of the entire production process is possible.
- the cooling circuits 170 already described are used to cool the device 1 during the production process or to bring it to a corresponding temperature level.
- FIGS. 18, 19 show a schematic, simplified representation of a further embodiment of the film transport device 19 in detail.
- This film transport device can in turn be designed as a single chain 21 with chain links 22, the single chain 21 again being able to be held in the guide frame 43 (not shown in FIGS. 18, 19). The details have already been explained above.
- the film transport device 19 is to be designed such that occurring dimensional changes of the plastic film 4, which occur due to the heating of this plastic film 4 for its deformation, which is carried out in an advantageous manner. If the film transport device 19 from the start area 26 (see FIG. 1) to the end area 33 is designed, for example, as a continuous single chain 21, it is possible to arrange a so-called restraint system, for example the roller system 88, in a first part of the film transport device 19 (see FIG . 8th). As a result, the plastic film 4 can be given a certain pretension.
- the plastic film 4 can have warps due to the thermal expansion between the spike pins 23.
- These spikes 23 still sit on the chain links 22.
- the side cheeks 27 of FIG. 2 have been dispensed with and the spines 23 may have barbs 192 instead of this closure.
- each end of the spike 23, as shown in FIG. 18, is provided with a barb 92.
- the spike 23 can be made bent downward from its right-angled position, i.e. that the parts of the profile shown in cross section as a leg enclose an acute angle 193 with each other.
- the advantage can thus be achieved that after the plastic film 4 has been pricked on, it cannot slide off the spikes 23 in the event of a tensile load to the flat tension of the plastic film 4.
- a guide strip 194 can be arranged in the area of the elastic zone of the plastic film 4, which can be designed as a holding strip or, for example, also as a roller. Of course, it is possible to arrange several of these guide strips or several of these retaining strips or rollers.
- a length compensation can now also be achieved with this embodiment variant in that the spikes 23 function in the manner of a cutting device, e.g. a knife.
- a cutting device e.g. a knife.
- the plastic film 4 after contacting the film transport device 19, i.e. after it has been fed in, for example via the roller system 88, initially only slightly scratched, i.e. that the spikes 23 only partially penetrate the plastic film.
- the area of this penetration or penetration of the plastic film 4 can extend, for example, from the initial area 26 to approximately half the total length of the film transport device 19. Of course, however, deviations from this are possible, these deviations depending on the temperature control of the heating device 20, i.e. that is, depending on the respective heating of the plastic film 4.
- the plastic film 4 is heated to such an extent that after it has been completely pricked up, which is necessary in order to feed the plastic film 4 flat to the molding unit, that No distortions or only to a small extent to be expected, there is the possibility of completely spiking this plastic film 4, that is to say that it is pushed onto the spikes in the direction of arrow 195 or slides by itself over the spikes 23 due to its own weight.
- the barbs 192 can prevent the plastic film 4 from sliding off, as already mentioned, so that the plastic film 4 can ultimately be positioned in the molding unit 12 accordingly.
- the spikes 23 can be slightly curved in the direction of the plastic film 4, whereby the scoring or penetration of the plastic film 4 can be facilitated.
- the plastic film 4 can always be tensioned back in the first half of the film transport device, whereby the thermal expansion of this plastic film 4 can be compensated in the longitudinal direction at the same time.
- the plastic film 4 can be prevented from kinking in the region of the single chain 21.
- the film transport device 19 is designed so that it over the guide profile of the chain, e.g. the single chain 21 is set or maintained at a constant temperature level. This can achieve the advantage that the necessary temperature radiation onto the film can be reduced via the heating device 20.
- the temperature control of the film transport device can be carried out according to the state of the art. Thus, not only cooling but also heating of the film transport device 19 can be achieved.
- Another possibility for length compensation for the plastic film 4 is not to guide the chain, for example single chain 21, tensioned in the guide profile but to bend the chain links to one another, for example in the form of a zigzag line, which achieves a relative reduction in the overall length of the chain can (based on the total length of the film transport device 19). This is shown shamefully in FIGS. 20 and 21.
- the single chain 21 can alternately have at least one guide roller 196 in the upper region facing the plastic film 4 (indicated by the spikes 23 in FIG. 21) and in the lower region.
- the deflection of the Single chain 21 can be controlled, for example by changing, ie in particular shortening a distance 197 between the two guide devices 198 for the guide rollers 196.
- the length compensation can take place in such a way that as soon as it is no longer to be expected that the plastic film 4 will undergo another significant dimension change or that the chain will be tensioned at least approximately synchronously with the thermal expansion of the plastic film 4, i.e. that the individual chain links are in turn brought into an at least approximately linear alignment with one another.
- Another possibility for length compensation of the film transport device 19 is not to design it in the form of single chains 21 extending over the entire length of the film transport device 19, but rather to divide this total length into at least two simple chains 21 arranged one behind the other in the direction from the starting area 26 onto the molding unit 12. This division can in turn be carried out in accordance with the temperature profile in the plastic film 4 and, for example, the single chains 21 can each extend over half the total length of the film transport device 19.
- the film transport device 19 with the expansion 67 for the width adjustment of the plastic film 4 in order to be able to compensate for the width expansion.
- This spread 67 can now also be carried out in such a way that the width adjustment is done manually, e.g. can be done with handwheels or pneumatically. Adjustable stops can be provided for pneumatic width adjustment.
- the ejector 195 in particular the pneumatic cylinder assigned to it, with its valve rod 160, i.e. its ejector rod through which the deep-drawn molded parts from the molding unit 12, i.e. the deep-drawing mold to be removed, e.g. via a proportional valve.
- the pressure in the pneumatic cylinder can thus be determined depending on the position of the molding table 114. It is therefore no longer necessary to completely vent the pneumatic cylinders on one side, which means that in addition to the energy saving, said speed increase can be achieved.
- more precise control of the ejector 159 is possible.
- the shaping table 114 To determine the position of the shaping table 114, it is possible to assign an absolute measuring system to it and the downward movement and / or the pivoting movement of the shaping table 114 can be divided into several areas, so that the absolute measuring system Can detect the position of the molding table 114.
- a further improvement or further embodiment variant of the device 1 consists in operating the pre-stretcher 97 by means of a motor, it being possible for the spindle to be designed as a planetary roller screw drive. As a result, a further increase in speed can be achieved in an advantageous manner, since instead of the point load, a surface load and thus a higher power transmission is now possible.
- the energy requirement can be reduced in an advantageous manner and the accuracy of the movement can be improved, in particular since compressed air is known to be a compressible drive system.
- the accuracy of the switching points can thus be improved, since the effective starting point of the cylinder can no longer be influenced to the extent of physical external variables. This can also improve the reproducibility of the speed.
- the stroke of the pre-stretcher 97 can be adjusted not only when the device 1 is at a standstill.
- the noise that arises due to the escaping compressed air can also be at least partially avoided and a complex measuring system for detecting the absolute cylinder position can be dispensed with.
- a complex measuring system for detecting the absolute cylinder position can be dispensed with.
- the stroke of the pre-stretcher 97 can be up to 200 mm, and the mass to be moved can be up to 100 kg, for example.
- the pre-stretcher system can advantageously reach its maximum speed after a stroke of only 10 mm.
- the pre-stretcher 97 can be driven electrically, but other forms of energy are of course possible.
- the servo motor can be equipped with a positioning rule. This servo motor drives the spindle for the stroke movement.
- a planetary roller screw drive known from the prior art can be used as the spindle.
- ball screws or the like can also be used, but can be used with the planetary roller
- the wind drive advantageously improves the load capacity, the speed and the acceleration.
- this pre-stretcher system 97 makes it possible to reduce the maintenance effort due to the fail-safe technology.
- a further embodiment variant is also possible with regard to the embodiment variant of the drive system for the forming table 114 according to FIG. 13 with the toothed segment arrangement 146.
- the pivoting movement of the shaping table 114 is carried out with the aid of the toothed segment plate 147, so that the drive subsequently carries out an oscillating movement for the pivoting movement of the shaping table 114.
- This oscillating movement can be achieved, for example, by means of a crank drive, a cam disk drive or else via a spindle drive, it being possible for the toothed segment plate 147 to be connected to the drives mentioned, for example via a push rod.
- the push rod can also be designed as a spindle drive and can be arranged, for example, in the center of the toothed segment plate 147.
- the aforementioned drives can be attached to the molding table 114 on both sides.
- this embodiment variant it is also possible to completely dispense with the toothed segment plate 147 and to execute it by means of a correspondingly shaped, for example round, segmented plate without teeth.
- the vertical movement can of course be supported by appropriate devices as described above, for example pneumatic cylinders. The advantage of fewer resonances that can occur in the device 1 can thus be achieved.
- movement-supporting devices for example springs, etc.
- the heat exchanger can be arranged, for example, in the cooling circuit 170 of the film transport device. Of course, however, it is also possible to arrange 170 or in several such heat exchangers in all cooling circuits.
- cooling circuits 170 it is also possible for at least some of the cooling circuits 170 to be routed through a common heat exchanger. For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that, for a better understanding of the device, these or their components have been partially shown to scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced.
- FIGS. 1; 2, 3; 4; 5; 6, 7; 8th; 9, 10, 11; 12, 13; 14; 15; 16; 17; 18, 19; 20, 21 shown form the subject of independent, inventive solutions.
