Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine technische Bürste nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a technical brush according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine derartige Bürste ist vom baulichen Prinzip her beispielsweise aus der DE-A-28 25 090 bekannt, und zwar in der Form eines endlosen Zahnriemens, auf den einzelne, auswechselbare Borstenkörper aufgeklemmt sind. Die Bürste gemäß DE-A-28 25 090 ist für das sogenannte Auf- oder Abnadeln in der Textilindustrie vorgesehen, bei dem Stoffe zur Weiterbearbeitung mit Hilfe solcher Bürsten auf Nadelunterlagen aufgespannt bzw. von diesen gelöst werden. Nachteilig für andere Einsatz- bzw. Anwendungsfälle ist hierbei die durch den Zahnriemen als Träger der Borstenelemente bedingte mangelnde Festigung, Seitenstabilität sowie nicht eindeutig vorausberechenbare Längenänderung des Riemens im Betrieb.Such a brush is known from the structural principle, for example from DE-A-28 25 090, in the form of an endless toothed belt onto which individual, replaceable bristle bodies are clamped. The brush according to DE-A-28 25 090 is intended for the so-called needling or needling in the textile industry, in which materials for further processing with the aid of such brushes are clamped onto or removed from needle pads. A disadvantage for other applications is the lack of strengthening, lateral stability and the change in length of the belt during operation, which cannot be clearly predicted, due to the toothed belt as the carrier of the bristle elements.

Die bereits im Jahr 1960 veröffentlichte US-A-2 954 113 beschreibt Transportsysteme, bei denen auf Transportketten einzelne Auflageelemente aufsteckbar sind, die auf diese Weise eine Transportstrecke bilden. Ein Bezug zu dem Gebiet der technischen Bürsten wird durch diese Druckschrift nicht hergestellt.US-A-2 954 113, which was published in 1960, describes transport systems in which individual support elements can be plugged onto transport chains, which in this way form a transport route. A reference to the area the technical brushes are not produced by this document.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine hinsichtlich der zuvor aufgeführten Unzulänglichkeiten erheblich verbesserte Bürstenkonstruktion zu schaffen, die zudem insgesamt äußerst verschleißarm ausführbar ist und insbesondere einen absolut leisen und ruhigen Lauf im Bereich der Führungsbahnen und Umlenkstationen gewährleistet.The present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a brush construction which is considerably improved with regard to the shortcomings mentioned above, which overall can also be carried out with extremely little wear and, in particular, ensures absolutely quiet and quiet running in the region of the guideways and deflection stations.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe hierbei grundsätzlich durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1; die zugehörigen Unteransprüche beinhalten vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen und Ausgestaltungsmerkmale der Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs.This problem is basically solved by the features of claim 1; the associated subclaims contain advantageous developments and features of the features of the main claim.

Ein mögliches Ausführungsbeispiel der technischen Lehre der Erfindung ist zudem weitestgehend schematisch in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und anhand dieser im folgenden noch näher erläutert.A possible embodiment of the technical teaching of the invention is also largely schematically shown in the drawings and explained in more detail below with reference to this.

In den Fig. 1 bis 5 ist zunächst einmal in verschiedenen Ansichten eine technische Bürste nach dem Wortlaut des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruchs 1 dargestellt. Neu bei dieser Ausführung ist dabei vor allem, daß als Träger für die Borstenkörper 1 eine weitestgehend genormte Rollenkette K dient, an deren Seitenflächen KS Zapfen Z o. dgl. zum Aufstecken der Borstenkörper 1 über entsprechende Klemmschlitze 2, Rastöffnungen o. dgl. in den Nutwandungen 1b angeordnet sind, wobei je Borstenkörper 1 ein Zapfenpaar Z vorgesehen und letzteres Z durch beidseitige Verlängerungen der Anschlußachsen A eines Kettengliedes K2 zu den beiden benachbarten Gliedern K1 und K3 der Trägerkette K gebildet ist. Die Ausbildung bereits löst die mit der Anmeldung gestellte Aufgabe hoher Festigkeit und Seitenstabilität der neuen Bürstenkette bei stets gleicher Länge.1 to 5, a technical brush according to the wording of the preamble of claim 1 is initially shown in different views. What is new in this embodiment is above all that a largely standardized roller chain K serves as a carrier for the bristle body 1, on the side surfaces of which KS pin Z or the like. For attaching the bristle body 1 via corresponding clamping slots 2, latching openings or the like Groove walls 1b are arranged, a pair of pins Z being provided for each bristle body 1 and the latter Z being formed by extensions of the connecting axes A of a chain link K 2 on both sides to the two adjacent links K 1 and K 3 of the carrier chain K. The training already solves the task of high strength and lateral stability of the new brush chain with the same length.

In spezieller baulicher Ausgestaltung dieses Grundgedankens ist dabei im einzelnen vorgesehen, daß die die Borstenkörper 1 tragende Kette K innerhalb des durch die Seitenwandungen 1b bzw. 1c bzw. 1d der Borstenkörper 1 gebildeten Nutraumes N verläuft und die Borstenkörper 1 sich mittels einer vorzugsweise mittig an der Unterseite 1a' des Nutrückens 1a angeordneten Rippe 3, 3a o. dgl. auf den Kettengliedern K1, K2, K3 ... abstützen, wobei es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen hat, wenn die Abstützrippe 3 o. dgl. im Bereich der Befestigungsstellen 2 der Borstenkörper 1 unterbrochen und in ihrer Oberflächenkontur 3a den Stegen bzw. Rollen ST der Trägerkette K formschlüssig angepaßt ist.In a special structural embodiment of this basic idea, it is provided in detail that the chain K carrying the bristle body 1 runs within the groove space N formed by the side walls 1b or 1c or 1d of the bristle body 1 and the bristle body 1 is preferably centered on the Support the underside 1a 'of the groove back 1a arranged rib 3, 3a or the like on the chain links K 1 , K 2 , K 3 ..., it having proven to be advantageous if the support rib 3 or the like in the region of the Fastening points 2 of the bristle bodies 1 are interrupted and the webs or rollers ST of the carrier chain K are adapted in a form-fitting manner in their surface contour 3a.

Sollen beispielsweise mehrere der neuen Bürstenketten als eine Art geschlossener Fläche nebeneinander laufen, so ist es von Vortei, wenn die Breite B1 des Nutrückens 1a größer als der gegenseitige Außenabstand B2 der Nutwandungen 1b bzw. 1c bzw. 1d gehalten ist und letztere im Bereich der Befestigungsstellen 2 an der Trägerkette K zudem unterbrochen 1b und 1c und/oder auf Kettenbreite KB verengt sind, wobei in allen Fällen die Länge "L" je eines Borstenkörpers 1 das Mehrfache der Länge eines Kettengliedes K1, K2, K3 ... ist und die Trägerkette "K" aus Metall oder einem anderen, ähnliche verschleißfesten und unter Normalbeanspruchung nicht längenveränderlichen Werkstoff besteht.
Des weiteren von Vorteil für die gegenseitige Flächenstabilität der einzelnen Borstenkörper 1 auf der Kette "K" ist noch die Anbringung von zusätzlichen Zapfen bzw. Nocken No und hierzu korrespondierenden Aussparungen NA in den verzahnten Stirnflächen 1f des Nutrückens 1a, wobei zum Zwecke des besseren Ineinandergleitens an den Umkehrstationen in der Kreisumlaufbahn in die Ebene sinnvollerweise die Aussparungen NA in Kettenumlaufrichtung R leicht konisch geöffnet ausgebildet sind.If, for example, several of the new brush chains are to run side by side as a kind of closed surface, it is advantageous if the width B 1 of the groove back 1a is larger than the mutual external distance B 2 of the groove walls 1b or 1c or 1d and the latter in the area the fastening points 2 on the carrier chain K are also interrupted 1b and 1c and / or narrowed to chain width KB, the length "L" in each case a bristle body 1 is several times the length of a chain link K 1 , K 2 , K 3 ... and the carrier chain "K" is made of metal or another similar, wear-resistant material that does not vary in length under normal stress.
Another advantage for the mutual surface stability of the individual bristle bodies 1 on the chain "K" is the attachment of additional pins or cams No and corresponding recesses NA in the toothed end faces 1f of the back of the groove 1a, for the purpose of better sliding into one another the reversing stations in the circular orbit into the plane, the cutouts NA are designed to be slightly conically open in the chain circulation direction R.

Anstelle der Zapfen und Aussparungen sind aber auch entsprechend im Quetschnitt profilierte, über die gesamte Länge der Stirnflächen 1f der Nutrücken 1a sich erstreckende Leisten und korrespondierende Ausnehmungen denkbar, die hier nicht gesondert dargestellt sind.Instead of the pins and recesses, correspondingly profiled strips, corresponding to the crimp cut and extending over the entire length of the end faces 1f of the groove back 1a and corresponding recesses are also conceivable, which are not shown separately here.

Eine Weiterbildung im Sinne der Aufgabenstellung erfährt das neue Bürstensystem gemäß der Fig. 9 und 10 letztlich noch dadurch, daß die freien Enden der stirnseitigen Seitenwandungen 1d des Nutraumes N nach außen gerichtete Führungsflansche 1e aufweisen, die parallel und mit Abstand a vorzugsweise beidseits zur Unterseite 1a' des Nutrückens 1a verlaufen und somit einen spaltförmigen Freiraum "F" bilden, und daß zur Gewährleistung der Richtungs- und Seitenstabilität der Bürstenkette in den Freiraum "F" von beiden Seiten her separate Führungsbahnen "FB" eingreifen, die entweder in Form von Einzelprofilen P in Fig. 9 oder als einstückiger Profilträger PT in Fig. 10 ausgebildet sind. Nicht dargestellt ist dabei, daß diese Profile "P" oder Träger "PT" über ein Gestell bzw. eine Konsole o.ä. neben oder unmittelbar an der jeweiligen Maschine befestigt sein können.
Die strichpunktierten Linien am Nutrücken 1a im oberen Bereich der Fig. 9 deuten in dieser Darstellung an, daß der Nutrücken auch breiter oder schmaler als das Einzel- bzw. Trägerprofil P bzw. PT ausgebildet sein kann.The new brush system according to FIGS. 9 and 10 ultimately undergoes further development in the sense of the task in that the free ends of the front side walls 1d of the groove space N have outwardly directed guide flanges 1e which are parallel and at a distance a, preferably on both sides, to the underside 1a 'of the groove back 1a and thus form a gap-shaped free space "F", and that to ensure the directional and lateral stability of the brush chain in the free space "F" from both sides engage separate guideways "FB", either in the form of individual profiles P 9 or as a one-piece profile carrier PT in FIG. 10. It is not shown that these profiles "P" or carrier "PT" over a frame or a console or the like. can be attached next to or directly on the respective machine.
The dash-dotted lines on the groove back 1a in the upper region of FIG. 9 indicate in this illustration that the groove back can also be made wider or narrower than the individual or carrier profile P or PT.

Neben allen zuvor beschriebenen Merkmalen und Vorteilen der neuen Ausgestaltung ist letztlich für eine Optimierung des gesamten Systems noch vorgesehen, daß zur Verminderung der Reibung und Geräuschentwicklung sowie zur Erhöhung der Laufruhe der Bürstenkette K, 1 die flanschartigen Schenkel 1e der Bürstenkörper 1 an ihren Stirnseiten bogenförmig 1e' ausgebildet und die Flanschunterseiten mit schmalen Auflagenstegen bzw. -rippen RP versehen sind. Es findet an allen Kontaktstellen in den Führungen also nur Linienberührung statt. Diese zuvor beschriebenen Merkmale und ihre vorteilhafte Wirkung wird letztlich noch ergänzt durch Abschrägungen SG und/oder Ausrundungen möglichst aller miteinander in den geraden Bahnstrecken in Kontakt stehenden bzw. in die Führungsbahnen F, FB nach der Umlenkung einlaufender Führungselemente z. B. 1e, NA, NO usw. an den Bürstenkörpern.
Bei der als Träger für die Borstenkörper 1 dienenden Rollenkette "K" sind an deren Seitenflächen "KS" Zapfen "Z" o.dgl. zum Aufstecken der Borstenkörper 1 über entsprechende Klemmschlitze 2 in den Nutwandungen 1b angeordnet, und die Borstenkörper 1 stützen sich mittels vorzugsweise mittig an der Unterseite 1a' des Nutrückens 1a angeordneten formschlüssig ausgebildeten Rippen 3, 3a auf den Kettengliedern K1, K2, K3 ... ab. Zur Lösung der eingangs gestellten Aufgabe ist gemäß Fig. 11 und 12 weiterhin vorgesehen, daß zwischen der Oberfläche der Rippe 3, 3a jedes Borstenkörpers 1 und der Kollenkette "K" geräuschdämpfende Anschlagpuffer "AP" angeordnet sind, wobei diese sinnvollerweise aus einem elastischen Material bestehen und in entsprechende Bohrungen 3b o.dgl. der Aussparungen 3a der Rippen 3 für die jeweiligen Kettenstege "ST" von oben her eingesetzt sind.In addition to all the features and advantages of the new design described above, for the optimization of the entire system it is ultimately provided that the flange-like legs 1e of the brush body 1 are curved at their end faces to reduce the friction and noise and to increase the smoothness of the brush chain K, 1 'trained and the flange undersides are provided with narrow support webs or ribs RP. So there is only line contact at all contact points in the guides. These features described above and their advantageous effect are ultimately supplemented by bevels SG and / or fillets, if possible, of all guide elements which come into contact with one another in the straight track sections or enter the guide tracks F, FB after the deflection. B. 1e, NA, NO, etc. on the brush bodies.
In the roller chain "K" serving as a carrier for the bristle bodies 1, "KS" pins "Z" or the like are on the side faces thereof. arranged for fitting the bristle bodies 1 via corresponding clamping slots 2 in the groove walls 1b, and the bristle bodies 1 are supported on the chain links K 1 , K 2 , K 3 by means of ribs 3, 3a, which are preferably arranged centrally on the underside 1 a 'of the groove back 1 a ... from. To solve the task at the beginning 11 and 12 is further provided that between the surface of the rib 3, 3a of each bristle body 1 and the chain "K" noise-damping stop buffers "AP" are arranged, which expediently consist of an elastic material and in corresponding holes 3b o . Like. the recesses 3a of the ribs 3 for the respective chain stays "ST" are inserted from above.

Hierbei reicht es völlig aus, wenn die Anschlagpuffer "AP" lediglich in den jeweils vordersten Aussparungen 3a der Rippe 3 jedes Borstenträgers 1 angeordnet sind.It is entirely sufficient if the stop buffers "AP" are only arranged in the foremost recesses 3a of the rib 3 of each bristle holder 1.

Aus der Gesamtanordnung gemäß Fig. 13 bei der zur Gewährleistung der Richtungs- und Seitenstabilität der Bürstenkette in den Freiraum "F" an der Unterseite jedes Bürstenträgers 1 von beiden Seiten her separate Führungsbahnen "FB" eingreifen, ist zudem als neu vorgesehen, daß zwischen den beim Umlauf der Kette "K" miteinander in Berührung kommenden Oberflächen von Borstenträger 1 und Führungsbahnen "FB" geräuschmindernde Gleitstreifen "GL" eingesetzt sind.13 in which to ensure the directional and lateral stability of the brush chain in the free space "F" on the underside of each brush holder 1, separate guideways "FB" engage from both sides, is also provided as new that between the surfaces of bristle carrier 1 and guideways "FB" which come into contact with one another when the chain "K" rotates, noise-reducing sliding strips "GL" are used.

Entsprechend Fig. 14 sind letztere dabei als im Querschnitt einstückiges Winkelprofil, das aus einem verschleißarmen Kunststoffmaterial besteht, ausgebildet und auf die flanschartigen Führungsbahnen "FB" selbstklemmend aufgeschoben.According to FIG. 14, the latter are designed as a one-piece cross-section, which consists of a low-wear plastic material, and are pushed onto the flange-like guideways "FB" in a self-locking manner.

Die zuvor beschriebene Ausgestaltung erbringt einen fast geräuschlosen Lauf der jeweiligen Bürstenkette auch bei hohen Drehzahlen.The design described above brings about an almost noiseless running of the respective brush chain even at high speeds.
