Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Rundlaufpresse, insbesondere zur Herstellung von Tabletten, mit einem Gestell, einem Rotor mit Antrieb, mindestens einer Druckrolleneinheit und einem Gehäuse.The invention relates to a rotary press, especially for the production of tablets, with a Frame, a rotor with drive, at least one Pressure roller unit and a housing.

Bekannt sind Rundlaufpressen, die aus einem Gestell, einem Rotor mit Antrieb, oberen und unteren Schwingen, welche die obere und die untere Druckrolle führen, einem Gestellgehäuse, Eckverbindern und einer Kopfplatte bestehen. Die im Preßprozeß auftretenden Kräfte werden über die Stempel und die Schwingen in die Kopfplatte und das Gestell unmittelbar eingeleitet und erregen diese membranartigen Bauteile durch die Preßkräfte zu Schwingungen, die damit zu erheblichen Lärmemissionen führen. Rotary presses are known which consist of a frame, a rotor with drive, upper and lower wings, which guide the upper and lower pressure rollers, a frame housing, corner connectors and a head plate consist. The forces occurring in the pressing process are about the stamp and the wings in the headstock and initiated the frame immediately and excite these membrane-like components by the pressing forces to vibrations, which in turn leads to considerable noise emissions to lead.

Eine Rundlaufpresse der gattungsgemäßen Art ist aus der US-PS 3,891,375 vorbekannt. Hierbei besteht das Basisgestell aus einem rechteckigen Rahmen, auf dessen oberer Rahmenplatte der Rotor gelagert ist.Das Gehäuse besteht aus auf das Rahmengestell aufgeschraubten Trägern, die oberhalb des Rotors eine Steuereinheit tragen. Die Druckrolleneinheiten sind rahmenartig ausgebildet und an seitlichen, an das Rahmengestell angeschraubten Trägern gelagert.A rotary press of the generic type is out of U.S. Patent 3,891,375 previously known. Here is the Base frame made of a rectangular frame on which The rotor is mounted on the upper frame plate consists of brackets screwed onto the frame, which carry a control unit above the rotor. The pressure roller units are frame-like and on the side, screwed to the frame Carriers stored.

Nachteilig hierbei ist die Aufnahme der Druckkräfte der beiden Druckrolleneinheiten von den das Gehäuse bildenden Trägern, wodurch es bei hohen Belastungen zu Verformungen des Gehäuses und damit verbundenen Schwingungen und Geräuschen des Gehäuses kommt.The disadvantage here is the absorption of the compressive forces of the two pressure roller units from which the housing forming supports, which makes it suitable for high loads to deformation of the housing and related Vibrations and noise of the housing comes.

Die Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Rundlaufpresse der gattungsgemäßen Art dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die Aufnahme der in die Druckrollen eingeleiteten Kräfte verbessert ist und die schwingungs- und geräuscharmer arbeitet.The invention is therefore based on the object a rotary press of the generic type in this regard to improve the inclusion of the in the Forced pressure forces is improved and which works with less vibrations and less noise.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe sieht die Erfindung vor, daß eine den Rotor mit Antrieb und die Druckrolleneinheit aufnehmende massive,biege- und verwindungssteife Grund platte mittels elastischer Lager vom Grundgestell aufgenommen ist, wobei die Steifigkeit dieser elastischen Lager und die Masse dieser kompletten Preßzelle so aufeinander abgestimmt sind, daß die Eigenfrequenz dieses Schwingungssystems in allen sechs möglichen Freiheitsgraden wesentlich kleiner als die bei niedrigster Drehzahl auftretende tiefste Stempeleingriffsfrequenz als Erregerfrequenz ist. Die komplette Preßzelle wird dadurch während des Preßprozesses überkritisch erregt. Damit werden die von den Druckrollen auf die Druckrolleneinheit wirkenden dynamischen Kräfte und Momente und die dynamischen Kräfte und Momente des Rotorantriebes fast ausschließlich von der massiven Grundplatte aufgenommen, die am Grundgestell mittels der elastischen Lager gelagert ist. Eine Einwirkung von dynamischen Kräften aus dem Preßvorgang auf nicht auf der Grundplatte angeordnete Bauelemente der Rundlaufpresse findet nahezu nicht statt. Damit arbeitet die Tablettenpresse schwingungs- und geräuscharm und kann dennoch große Preßkräfte übertragen.To achieve this object, the invention provides that one the rotor with drive and the pressure roller unit absorbing solid, rigid and torsionally rigid base plate picked up from the base frame by means of elastic bearings is, the rigidity of this elastic Bearing and the mass of this complete press cell so on top of each other are tuned that the natural frequency of this Vibration system in all six possible degrees of freedom much smaller than that of the lowest The lowest stamp engagement frequency occurring at the speed as the excitation frequency. The complete press cell will thereby excited supercritically during the pressing process. This transfers the pressure rollers onto the pressure roller unit acting dynamic forces and moments and the dynamic forces and moments of the rotor drive almost exclusively from the solid base plate added to the base frame using the elastic bearing is stored. An impact from dynamic forces from the pressing process not on components of the rotary press arranged on the base plate almost does not take place. This is how she works Tablet press low vibration and low noise and can nevertheless transmit large pressing forces.

Das den Rotor mit Antrieb, die Druckrolleneinheit, die massive Grundplatte und das Grundgestell umschließende Gehäuse ist aussschließlich mit dem Grundgestell verbunden und gegenüber der Grundplatte mittels kleinerer elastischer Lager abgestützt, wobei die Steife der elastischen Lager so gewählt ist, daß die aus der angeschlossenen Masse und der Steife der elastischen Lager sich ergebende Eigenfrequenz wesentlich niedriger als die kleinste Stempeleingriffsfrequenz liegt. Damit werden nahezu keine Schwingungen und somit fast keine Geräusche von den durch die Preßkräfte zu Schwingungen angeregten Teilen, wie Rotor mit Antrieb und Druckrolleneinheit, auf das Gehäuse übertragen.That the rotor with drive, the pressure roller unit, the massive base plate and enclosing the base frame The housing is only connected to the base frame and compared to the base plate by means of smaller ones supported elastic bearing, the stiffness of the elastic bearing is chosen so that from the connected Mass and stiffness of the elastic The resulting natural frequency is much lower than the lowest stamp engagement frequency. So there are almost no vibrations and therefore almost no noise from the press forces too Vibrations excited parts, such as rotor with drive and pressure roller unit, transferred to the housing.

Das Gehäuse ist so ausgebildet, daß der das obere Kopfteil der Maschine aufnehmende Teil dieses Gehäuses sich über die gesamte Höhe der Maschine erstreckt und die Maschine auf einer senkrechten Seite begrenzt.The housing is designed so that the upper Head part of the machine receiving part of this housing extends over the entire height of the machine and the machine is limited on one vertical side.

Dieses Gehäusesegment dient vorzugsweise der Aufnahme des elektrischen Hauptantriebes, der ankommenden und abgehenden Anschlußleitungen, der Versorgungsaggregate und der Versorgungsleitungen der Maschine. Eine Wand trennt diese Versorgungsseite der Rundlaufpresse von der Reinraumseite der Preßzelle.This housing segment is preferably used for recording of the main electric drive, the incoming and outgoing connection lines, the supply units and the supply lines of the machine. A wall separates this supply side of the rotary press from the clean room side of the press cell.

In bevorzugter Weise sind die elastischen Lager als zwei metallische Lagerelemente und einem diese verbindenden elastischen Puffer ausgebildet. Derartige elastische Lager sind unter der Marke SCHWINGMETALL der Firma Continental handelsüblich.Preferably the elastic bearings are as two metallic bearing elements and one connecting them elastic buffer trained. such elastic bearings are under the SCHWINGMETALL brand from the company Continental.

Unterstempel 30 bzw. 31 wird die Schraubspindel 42 in Gegenrichtung mittels des Spindelkopfes 43 gedreht, die Druckfeder 44 entlastet und der Keil 39 aus dem Anschlagring 40 um einen geringen Bereich herausgefahren, so daß die Führungssäule 10 aus ihrer festen Verspannung an der Grundplatte 1 gelöst wird und unter weiterer Betätigung der Schraubspindel 42 nach rechts gezogen werden kann.For pulling the pressure roller unit 3 and thus the Pressure rollers 14, 15 from the area of engagement of upper or lower punch 30 or 31 becomes the screw spindle 42 in the opposite direction by means of the spindle head 43 rotated, the compression spring 44 is relieved and the wedge 39 from the stop ring 40 around a small area moved out so that the guide column 10 from its fixed tension on the base plate 1 is released and with further actuation of the screw spindle 42 can be dragged to the right.

Die Fig. 1 zeigt eine sich in Fig. 1 links unterhalb der Grundplatte 1 und neben dem Grundgestell 6 und rechts hinter der Druckrolleneinheit 3 erstreckenden Trennwand 48, die das Gehäuse 8 allseitig abgedichtet umschließt. Die Trennwand 48 kann eine bauseitige Wand sein und ermöglicht eine Unterteilung der Rundlaufpresse in einen in Fig. 1 rechts der Trennwand 48 mit einer Multifunktionssäule 51 und in einen unterhalb der Grundplatte 1 gelegenen Versorgungsbereich und einen oberhalb der Grundplatte 1 gelegenen Reinraumbereich mit der von dem Rotor 2 und der Druckrolleneinheit 3 gebildeten Preßzelle. Der Reinraumbereich der Preßzelle ist durch die Grundplatte 1, die in Fig. 1 links dargestellte Wand 49 der Multifunktionssäule 51, das Kopfstück 50 und die Trennwand 48 vom Versorgungsbereich getrennt. Somit kann der Versorgungsbereich unabhängig vom Reinraumbereich benutzt werden, um die auf der Unter- und Rückseite der Rundlaufpresse gelegenen mechanischen und elektrischen Antriebe und Versorgungseinheiten von außerhalb des Reinraumes zu bedienen. Die Energiezufuhr zur Rundlaufpresse kann von oben oder unten direkt in die Multifunktionssäule 51 erfolgen. Fig. 1 shows one in Fig. 1 on the left below the base plate 1 and next to the base frame 6 and extending right behind the pressure roller unit 3 Partition 48, which seals the housing 8 on all sides encloses. The partition 48 can be an on-site wall and allows the rotary press to be subdivided into one of the partition 48 on the right in FIG. 1 a multifunction column 51 and in one below the base plate 1 supply area and a clean room area located above the base plate 1 with that of the rotor 2 and the pressure roller unit 3 press cell formed. The clean room area the press cell is through the base plate 1, which is in Fig. 1 wall 49 of the multifunction column shown on the left 51, the head piece 50 and the partition 48 from the supply area Cut. Thus the coverage area be used regardless of the clean room area, around the bottom and back of the rotary press located mechanical and electrical drives and Supply units from outside the clean room too serve. The energy supply to the rotary press can from above or below directly into the multifunction column 51 done.
