Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for making a connection between an envelope manufacturing machine having its own manual evacuation chain and a completely different packaging machine so as to allow the envelopes to be grouped in batches, and the distribution towards the packaging device in a fully automatic manner with the erasure of this connection device in the event of incidents and catching up on the manual evacuation chain so as not to interrupt the operation of the envelope manufacturing machine.
- the general term is used to designate an envelope manufacturing machine any machine capable of producing elements of the postal and non-postal envelope and pouch type, bellows bags and bags, disc pockets, food packaging bags.
- the glued and folded envelopes ready for use are stacked thanks to a distributor, in particular of the rotary drum type with curved slots according to spokes called snail. Of them drive belts move this stack while a shim mounted on the work table keeps the same stack vertical. The batches of envelopes are then punctured manually while the shim is brought closer to the stack, they are then the subject of different packaging.
- FIG 1 we can see the manual evacuation chain device with belt drive and temporary storage, devices already existing on conventional machines and consisting of a set of two narrow bands as referenced 1 on the figure; this band is driven in a rotational movement and circulates in abutment on the work and support table 10 in which slides, thanks to a not shown groove, a stud 11 which is none other than a retaining stop for keeping the envelopes their vertical position.
- the connecting device 2 proper consists of a plate 20 fixed to a rotating shaft 21 by means of a nut 22 screwed on its end. This plate further comprises a guide plate 23 mounted perpendicular to the pivoting plate 20 and welded to the latter at 24.
- This plate 23 has in its central part an oval cutout 25 in which is positioned a plate with a complementary profile 26 of dimensions such that there remains a free passage 27 between the plate 23 and its internal complement 26.
- the maintenance of this plate is ensured by a set of two housings 28 and 29 positioned between the two pinions such as 29 whose function is that to drive the chain 30 thanks to the motor 31.
- a movable rod 32 associated with one of the links of the chain and terminated at its end by an attached cup 33 of diameter greater than that of the rod itself, can perform a course closed in the free interval 27, driven by said chain 30.
- the length of this rod 32 can be variable, it will be adapted to the width of the batch of envelopes d complete conditioning.
- the damper-compensator 34 which consists of a very thin spring steel plate made integral with the plate 26 by any suitable means such as bonding for example at 35. In order to play this role of spring, the plate 34 is folded at 36. The clearance between the compressed position and that completely relaxed must correspond to the thickness of the set of envelopes defined, that is to say a clearance close to the length useful of the rod 32.
- a counter 38 of the type with opto-electronic cells allows the counting of the envelopes when scrolling. This counter has a link with the motor 31, so as to control the start of a sequence of this same motor corresponding to one revolution of the chain supporting the movable rod 32, once the number corresponding to a batch of envelopes has been reached.
- the evacuation assembly 5 comprises an essential element in the form of a selection finger 50 offset from the front of the batch of envelopes 53 which is pivotally mounted thanks to the axis 51 in such a way that the curved part 52 of this selection finger 50 can come after rotation by pressing on the envelopes symbolized at 53 in line with the strip 56.
- the rotation of this selection finger is carried out by any suitable means, as long as that -this can be controlled by pulses from the counter 38.
- the role of the selection finger is to come to bear on the last envelope of the previous batch by blocking the envelopes of the next batch.
- the conveyor belt consists of two separate bands 55 and 56 mounted so that the plane of the belt is oriented along a vertical axis along y and that their movement is perfectly synchronous.
- the drive of each of the bands can be obtained by a roller motor, while a second associated roller will act as a tensioner, a pair of mixed rollers being provided for each of the bands.
- a roller motor while a second associated roller will act as a tensioner, a pair of mixed rollers being provided for each of the bands.
- the directions of rotation are reversed so as to obtain the movement represented by arrows 57 and 58 which define a swallowing effect between the two moving bands.
- a pivoting distributor 60 mounted on a rotary base 61 and consisting of two U-shaped profiles 62 and 63 oriented so that the arms 64 and 65 are opposite and their planes are oriented horizontally along the xy plane, that is to say parallel to the plane of the table 10. These two U nevertheless leave a free space 66 whose value is equal to the width of the pads 67, positioned on the horizontal conveyor belt 68 intended to evacuate the packets of envelopes, arranged horizontally after rotation through 90 ° from the dispenser to a packaging station not shown.
- Such packaging machines can have various shapes depending on the desired products, it can be shrink wrapping, or cellophane, still maintained using a simple strapping using 'a narrow strip of cellulose or synthetic material, or even a can.
- the envelopes produced are collected at the outlet of the machine through the slits of a snail which allows the envelopes taken out of manufacturing in a horizontal position, these then pile up in the field on the plate 20 while the face of the first envelope comes into contact with the damper-compensator 34.
- the counter 38 records its pulses by its optical cell given each time an envelope passes to sum it up and when it reaches the number corresponding to the number of envelopes desired in batches, an order is sent by line 37 to the motor 31 which sets in motion the movable rod 32 via the support chain 30 and the sprockets.
- the small tab 33 gives security for lateral grip of the batches of envelopes.
- the envelopes are therefore driven perpendicularly by the rod and slide on the movable plate 20 and on the plate of the damper 34.
- the counter also sent an order via line 54 to the selection finger 50 which then pivots once the envelopes have moved slightly forward in a direction perpendicular to that at the end of manufacture and comes to rest on the outer face of the last envelope selected for the lot.
- the first envelope of the next batch is already in place and pressing on tab 33 and on the external face of the last envelope of the previous batch. It is therefore driven by the friction between the two faces but its progression is blocked by the part 52 of the selection finger 50.
- This is the primary role of this selection finger which consists in limiting the batches and retaining the first envelopes of the next batch. Its second role is to slightly compress the batch of envelopes so that it fits perfectly between the two bands 55 and 56.
- the fact of a synchronous rotation in opposite directions and oriented inward causes a swallowing phenomenon and thanks to the friction forces the batch of envelopes is kept compressed between these two strips and progresses towards the pivoting dispensing device.
- the envelopes slide between the two opposite U 62 and 64 whose width corresponds to the thickness of the batch of envelopes.
- a suitable limit switch not shown, then allows the initiation of the 90 ° movement of the pivoting distributor 60 to bring it above the conveyor belt 68 so that one of the pads can drive the package of envelopes by passing through the reserved space 66.
- an incident is detected in the connection device according to the invention, using sensors in a manner well known in the technical field considered or by the operator , it is then possible, in order not to interrupt the operation and the flow rate of the envelope manufacturing machine, to erase this same connection device in favor of the manual evacuation chain with temporary storage such that it exists on all envelope making machines.
- Such a system drives, via the bands referenced 1, the packet of envelopes which comes to bear on a retaining stop 11.
- the connection device is erased by rotating the shaft 21 secured to the plate pivoting 20, only then remains in place the conveyor device 5 and the pivoting finger 50.
- the latter offset laterally perpendicularly in no way hinder the accumulation of envelopes and the use of the manual system.
- the selection finger could be supported by the work table 10, and take another form, that of a lateral piston for example.
- provision could be made for driving the envelopes using a chain and a device placed at the lower part of the plate 20 and moving in a recess in the table 10.
- the movement of the batch of selected envelopes could also be obtained by a device with cylinder.
- all operations can be managed at the level of pulses and various commands by a suitably programmed associated microcomputer.
- the different pivoting and tilting movements can be carried out using pneumatic cylinders.
- the outlets can be simply in a horizontal plane without a snail, the device according to the invention remains applicable by adequate orientation of the components, in particular for inserting machines.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention a pour objet un dispositif permettant de réaliser une liaison entre une machine de fabrication d'enveloppes possédant sa propre chaîne manuelle d'évacuation et une toute autre machine de conditionnement de façon à permettre le regroupement des enveloppes par lots, et la distribution vers le dispositif de conditionnement de façon totalement automatique avec effacement de ce dispositif de liaison en cas d'incidents et rattrapage sur la chaîne manuelle d' évacuation de façon à ne pas interrompre le fonctionnement de la machine de fabrication d'enveloppes.The present invention relates to a device for making a connection between an envelope manufacturing machine having its own manual evacuation chain and a completely different packaging machine so as to allow the envelopes to be grouped in batches, and the distribution towards the packaging device in a fully automatic manner with the erasure of this connection device in the event of incidents and catching up on the manual evacuation chain so as not to interrupt the operation of the envelope manufacturing machine.
On désigne sous le terme général machine de fabrication d'enveloppes toute machine apte à produire des éléments du type enveloppes et pochettes postales et non postales, sacs et sacs à soufflets, pochettes à disques, sacs de conditionnement alimentaire.The general term is used to designate an envelope manufacturing machine any machine capable of producing elements of the postal and non-postal envelope and pouch type, bellows bags and bags, disc pockets, food packaging bags.
En sortie de chaîne de fabrication, les enveloppes collées et pliées prêtes à l'utilisation sont empilées grâce à un distributeur notamment du type tambour rotatif avec fentes courbes selon des rayons dénommés escargot. Deux courroies d'entraînement assurent le déplacement de cet empilement tandis qu'une cale montée sur la table de travail maintient vertical ce même empilement. Les lots d'enveloppes sont alors ponctionnés manuellement tandis que la cale est rapprochée de l'empilement, ils font alors l'objet de différents conditionnements.At the end of the production line, the glued and folded envelopes ready for use are stacked thanks to a distributor, in particular of the rotary drum type with curved slots according to spokes called snail. Of them drive belts move this stack while a shim mounted on the work table keeps the same stack vertical. The batches of envelopes are then punctured manually while the shim is brought closer to the stack, they are then the subject of different packaging.
Ce poste de travail en fin de chaîne est relativement pénible et il est souhaitable d'automatiser une telle opération. Il se pose alors un problème important dans ce domaine technique particulier car la fabrication ne doit pas être interrompue. L'utilisation de colle à séchage rapide, des différents chemins de roulements conduit à des déchets importants lors des remises en route qui doivent donc être aussi peu nombreuses que possible.This workstation at the end of the chain is relatively painful and it is desirable to automate such an operation. An important problem then arises in this particular technical field because the production must not be interrupted. The use of quick-drying glue, of the different raceways leads to significant waste when restarting which must therefore be as few as possible.
L'invention propose donc un dispositif qui permet, bien que la cadence de production soit très élevée, de réaliser la liaison entre une machine de fabrication d'enveloppes qui possède sa propre chaîne manuelle d'évacuation avec stockage temporaire et un poste de conditionnement, cette liaison assurant le regroupement d'enveloppes par lots et l'acheminement vers un des postes de conditionnement de façon totalement automatique. Cette liaison est plus particulièrement caractérisée en ce que de façon à ne pas interrompre la machine de fabrication le dispositif de liaison automatique est effacé au profit de la chaîne manuelle d'évacuation en cas d'incident détecté sur le dispositif de liaison par des capteurs. De même la fabrication n'est pas interrompue lors de la remise en place du dispositif de liaison automatique.
- La figure 1 est une vue en coupe du dispositif d'orientation selon l'invention dans sa position de travail ainsi que celle du dispositif manuel existant;
- La figure 2 est une vue en perspective du doigt distributeur pivotant et du transporteur à bandes.
- Figure 1 is a sectional view of the orientation device according to the invention in its working position as well as that of the existing manual device;
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the pivoting dispenser finger and the belt conveyor.
Sur la figure 1, on peut voir le dispositif de chaîne manuelle d'évacuation avec l'entraînement à bandes et le stockage temporaire, dispositifs déjà existant sur les machines classiques et constitués d'un ensemble de deux bandes étroites telles que référencées 1 sur la figure; cette bande est animée d'un mouvement de rotation et circule en appui sur la table de travail et de supportage 10 dans laquelle coulisse grâce à une rainure non figurée un plot 11 qui n'est autre qu'une butée de maintien pour conserver aux enveloppes leur position verticale. Le dispositif de liaison 2 proprement dit est constitué d'une platine 20 fixée sur un arbre tournant 21 grâce à un écrou 22 vissé sur son extrémité. Cette platine comporte en outre une plaque de guidage 23 montée perpendiculaire à la platine pivotante 20 et soudée à cette dernière en 24. Cette plaque 23 comporte dans sa partie centrale une découpe de forme ovale 25 dans laquelle vient se positionner une plaque au profil complémentaire 26 de dimensions telles qu'il subsiste un libre passage 27 entre la plaque 23 et son complément interne 26. Le maintien de cette plaque est assuré par un ensemble de deux carters 28 et 29 positionnés entre les deux pignons tels que 29 dont la fonction est celle d'entraîner la chaîne 30 grâce au moteur 31. Une tringle mobile 32 associée à l'un des maillons de la chaîne et terminée à son extrémité par une coupelle rapportée 33 de diamètre supérieur à celui de la tringle elle-même, peut effectuer un parcours fermé dans l'intervalle libre 27, entraîné par ladite chaîne 30. La longueur de cette tige 32 peut être variable, elle sera adaptée à la largeur du lot d'enveloppes déterminé pour le conditionnement. Par ailleurs, durant l'empilement des enveloppes en sortie de l'escargot, il est nécessaire de maintenir les premières verticales en attendant le complément d'enveloppes devant constituer le lot. C'est le rôle de l'amortisseur-compensateur 34 qui est constitué d'une plaquette d'acier à ressort de très faible épaisseur rendue solidaire de la plaque 26 par tout moyen adapté tel qu'un collage par exemple en 35. Afin de jouer ce rôle de ressort, la plaquette 34 est pliée en 36. Le débattement entre la position comprimée et celle totalement relâchée devra correspondre à l'épaisseur du lot d'enveloppes défini,c'est-à-dire un débattement voisin de la longueur utile de la tringle 32. Un compteur 38 du type à cellules opto-électroniques, permet le comptage des enveloppes au défilement. Ce compteur possède une liaison avec le moteur 31, de façon à commander le démarrage d'une séquence de ce même moteur correspondant à un tour de la chaîne supportant la tringle mobile 32, une fois que le nombre correspondant à un lot d'enveloppes a été atteint.In Figure 1, we can see the manual evacuation chain device with belt drive and temporary storage, devices already existing on conventional machines and consisting of a set of two narrow bands as referenced 1 on the figure; this band is driven in a rotational movement and circulates in abutment on the work and support table 10 in which slides, thanks to a not shown groove, a stud 11 which is none other than a retaining stop for keeping the envelopes their vertical position. The connecting
Une autre liaison 54 relie le compteur au doigt de sélection qui sera décrit ultérieurement. Sur la figure 2, l'ensemble d'évacuation 5 comporte un élément essentiel sous la forme d'un doigt de sélection 50 décalé par rapport au front du lot d'enveloppes 53 qui est monté pivotant grâce à l'axe 51 de telle façon que la partie recourbée 52 de ce doigt de sélection 50 puisse venir après rotation en appui sur les enveloppes symbolisées en 53 au droit de la bande 56. La mise en rotation de ce doigt de sélection est réalisée par tout moyen adéquat, du moment que celui-ci peut être piloté par des impulsions en provenance du compteur 38. Le rôle du doigt de sélection est de venir prendre appui sur la dernière enveloppe du lot précédent en bloquant les enveloppes du lot suivant.Another
Le transporteur à bandes est constitué de deux bandes distinctes 55 et 56 montées de façon que le plan de la bande soit orienté selon un axe vertical suivant y et que leur déplacement soit parfaitement synchrone. L'entraînement de chacune des bandes peut être obtenu par un rouleau moteur, tandis qu'un deuxième rouleau associé jouera le rôle de tendeur, une paire de rouleaux mixtes étant prévus pour chacune des bandes. Bien que synchrones dans le défilement, les sens de rotation sont inversés de façon à obtenir le mouvement représenté par les flèches 57 et 58 qui définissent un effet d'avalement entre les deux bandes mobiles. En sortie de ce transporteur à bandes, il est prévu un distributeur pivotant 60 monté sur une embase rotative 61 et constitué de deux profils en U 62 et 63 orientés de telle sorte que les branches 64 et 65 soient opposées et que leurs plans soient orientés horizontalement suivant le plan xy, c'est-à-dire parallèle au plan de la table 10. Ces deux U laissent néanmoins subsister un espace libre 66 dont la valeur est égale à la largeur des plots 67, positionnés sur la bande de transport horizontale 68 destinée à évacuer les paquets d'enveloppes, disposés horizontalement après rotation à 90° du distributeur vers un poste de conditionnement non représenté. De telles machines de conditionnement peuvent présenter des formes diverses suivant les produits recherchés, il peut s'agir d'une mise sous film rétractable, ou cellophane,encore d'un maintien à l'aide d'un simple cerclage à l'aide d'une bande étroite de cellulose ou de matière synthétique, ou bien encore d'une mise en boîte.The conveyor belt consists of two
Nous allons maintenant décrire le fonctionnement d'un tel dispositif selon le procédé prévu par l'invention.We will now describe the operation of such a device according to the method provided by the invention.
Les enveloppes fabriquées sont collectées en sortie de machine par les fentes d'un escargot qui permet la mise en position verticale des enveloppes sorties de fabrication en position horizontale, celles-ci viennent alors s'empiler de champ sur la platine 20 tandis que la face de la première enveloppe vient au contact de l'amortisseur-compensateur 34. Simultanément, le compteur 38 enregistre par sa cellule optique les impulsions données à chaque passage d'une enveloppe pour en faire la somme et lorsque celle-ci atteint le chiffre correspondant au nombre d'enveloppes souhaitées par lots, une commande est envoyée par la ligne 37 au moteur 31 qui met en mouvement la tringle mobile 32 par l'intermédiaire de la chaîne support 30 et des pignons. Le petit onglet 33 donne une sécurité de prise latérale du lots d'enveloppes. Les enveloppes sont donc entraînées perpendiculairement par la tringle et glissent sur la platine mobile 20 et sur la plaquette de l'amortisseur 34.The envelopes produced are collected at the outlet of the machine through the slits of a snail which allows the envelopes taken out of manufacturing in a horizontal position, these then pile up in the field on the
Le compteur a également envoyé une commande par la ligne 54 au doigt de sélection 50 qui pivote alors une fois que les enveloppes ont effectué un léger déplacement vers l'avant dans une direction perpendiculaire à celle de sortie de fabrication et vient s'appuyer sur la face externe de la dernière enveloppe sélectionnée pour le lot. Parallèlement, la première enveloppe du lot suivant est déjà en place et en appui sur l'onglet 33 et sur la face externe de la dernière enveloppe du lot précédent. Elle est donc entraînée par le frottement entre les deux faces mais sa progression est bloquée par la partie 52 du doigt de sélection 50. C'est là le premier rôle de ce doigt de sélection qui consiste à limiter les lots et à retenir les premières enveloppes du lot suivant. Son deuxième rôle vise à comprimer légèrement le lot d'enveloppes de façon à ce qu'il s'introduise parfaitement entre les deux bandes 55 et 56. Le fait d'une rotation synchrone dans des sens opposés et orientés vers l'intérieur provoque un phénomène d'avalement et grâce aux forces de frottement le lot d'enveloppes est maintenu comprimé entre ces deux bandes et progresse en direction du dispositif distributeur pivotant.The counter also sent an order via
En sortie du dispositif transporteur 5, les enveloppes glissent entre les deux U opposés 62 et 64 dont la largeur correspond à l'épaisseur du lot d'enveloppes. Un détecteur de fin de course approprié et non représenté permet alors le déclenchement du mouvement à 90° du distributeur pivotant 60 pour l'amener au-dessus de la bande transporteuse 68 de façon que l'un des plots puisse entraîner le paquet d'enveloppes par passage à travers l'espace réservé 66. Dans le cas où un incident est détecté dans le dispositif de liaison selon l'invention, à l'aide de capteurs d'une façon bien connue dans le domaine technique considéré ou par l'opérateur, il est alors possible, pour ne pas interrompre le fonctionnement et le débit de la machine de fabrication des enveloppes, de procéder à un effacement de ce même dispositif de liaison au profit de la chaîne manuelle d'évacuation avec stockage temporaire telle qu'elle existe sur toutes les machines de fabrication d'enveloppes. Un tel système entraîne par l'intermédiaire des bandes référencées 1 le paquet d'enveloppes qui vient en appui sur une butée de maintien 11. L'effacement du dispositif de liaison est réalisé par mise en rotation de l'arbre 21 solidaire de la platine pivotante 20, seul subsiste alors en place le dispositif transporteur 5 et le doigt pivotant 50. Ces derniers décentrés latéralement de façon perpendiculaire ne gênent en aucun cas l'accumulation des enveloppes et l'utilisation du systeme manuel. Il est entendu que la présente description d'un mode de réalisation particulier ne saurait se limiter aux stricts éléments qui viennent d'être représentés ni à leur forme. Ainsi, le doigt de sélection pourrait être supporté par la table de travail 10, et prendre une autre forme, celle d'un piston latéral par exemple. De même, on pourrait prévoir un entraînement des enveloppes à l'aide d'une chaîne et d'un dispositif placés à la partie inferieure de la platine 20 et se déplaçant dans un évidement ménagé dans la table 10. Le déplacement du lot d'enveloppes sélectionné pourrait également être obtenu par un dispositif avec vérin. Par ailleurs, l'ensemble des opérations peut être géré au niveau des impulsions et des différentes commandes par un micro-ordinateur associé convenablement programmé.On leaving the conveyor device 5, the envelopes slide between the two opposite
Les différents mouvements de pivotement et basculement peuvent quant à eux être effectués grâce à des vérins pneumatiques.The different pivoting and tilting movements can be carried out using pneumatic cylinders.
Dans les fabrications des différents produits énumérés en objet, les sorties peuvent être simplement dans un plan horizontal sans escargot, le dispositif selon l'invention reste applicable par orientation adéquate des composants, notamment pour les machines à insérer.In the manufacture of the various products listed in the subject, the outlets can be simply in a horizontal plane without a snail, the device according to the invention remains applicable by adequate orientation of the components, in particular for inserting machines.
La présente invention n'est pas limitée aux exemples de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, elle est au contraire susceptible de modifications et de variantes qui apparaîtront à l'homme de l'art.The present invention is not limited to the embodiments which have just been described, it is on the contrary liable to modifications and variants which will appear to those skilled in the art.
