Description

Machine automatique à poser des pointes flexibles sur un cadre . Automatic machine for placing flexible points on a frame.
L ' invention se situe dans le domaine technique de la fermeture automatisée des cadres et porte plus précisément sur une machine automatique à poser des pointes flexibles .The invention lies in the technical field of automated closing of frames and relates more precisely to an automatic machine for laying flexible tips.
On connaît divers types de machines dont l ' une permet de poser automatiquement une pluralité de pointes flexibles sur les baguettes d ' un cadre pour en assurer la fermeture par un carton . Pour cela , au dessus d ' un poste de travail , avantageusement un convoyeur à bande sans fin, un chariot peut se déplacer longitudinalement sur des rails . Il porte un ou plusieurs pistolets d ' agrafage . Chaque pistolet est équipé d ' un chargeur de pointes flexibles qu ' il convient évidemment de remplacer ou de regarnir , en cas d ' enrayement ou quand les pointes sont épuisées . Cela implique donc une manipulation manuelle, avec un arrêt provisoire de la machine. Il est aussi possible d'utiliser un dispositif de rechargement automatique des chargeurs, mais cela conduit à des mécanismes lourds et coûteux. En outre ceux-ci ne solutionnent pas les problèmes liés aux incidents de fonctionnement des pistolets. De plus ces machines n'utilisent qu'un ou plusieurs pistolets, chacun d' eux ayant une ou plusieurs pointes à poser à un ou plusieurs endroits déterπ nés. L'utilisateur doit donc assurer un contrôle visuel et constant de la présence ou de l 'absence de pointes . En cas d' absence de pointe il doit déterxniner quel pistolet est défaillant, puis arrêter la machine et le remplacer. On encourre le risque, en plus de pertes de productivité, d' obtenir un produit non conforme.Various types of machine are known, one of which allows a plurality of flexible tips to be automatically placed on the strips of a frame to ensure that it is closed by a carton. For this, above a work station, advantageously an endless belt conveyor, a carriage can move longitudinally on rails. He carries one or more stapling guns. Each pistol is equipped with a flexible tip magazine which obviously needs to be replaced or replenished, in the event of a jamming or when the tips are exhausted. This therefore involves manual manipulation, with a temporary stop of the machine. It is also possible to use an automatic recharging device for magazines, but this leads to heavy and costly mechanisms. In addition, these do not solve the problems associated with gun operating incidents. In addition, these machines use only one or more guns, each of them having one or more tips to be placed at one or more specific locations. The user must therefore ensure a visual and constant check for the presence or absence of spikes. If there is no tip, he must determine which gun is faulty, then stop the machine and replace it. There is a risk, in addition to productivity losses, of obtaining a non-conforming product.
En vue d' éviter ces inconvénients l ' invention propose une solution qui consiste à disposer au voisinage du poste de travail, un râtelier de stockage de pistolets prére plis de pointes flexibles, que la πrnc ine viendra chercher au fur et à mesure du dégarnissage du contenu des pistolets au lieu d'utiliser le ou les mêmes pistolets et de les regarnir de pointes.In order to avoid these drawbacks, the invention proposes a solution which consists in having, near the work station, a rack for storing pistols pre-folded with flexible tips, which the πrnc ine will pick up as the stripping of the contents of pistols instead of using the same pistol (s) and refilling them with tips.
L ' invention a donc pour obj et principal une machine automatique à poser des pointes flexibles sur un cadre comportant un chariot mobile porteur d ' un pistolet de pose , qui est déplaçable au dessus d'un poste de travail formé d'une table portant une bande sans fin, ledit pistolet renfermant un magasin rempli de pointes à poser, machine qui est équipée d'un râtelier pour le stockage de plusieurs pistolets préremplis de pointes, râtelier lui-même accessible à une pince de préhension d'un pistolet, pince portée par ledit chariot, un détecteur, étant monté sur le pistolet pour être en mesure de constater l'absence d'une pointe dans le cadre à l'endroit de la pose, et de commander la manoeuvre de la pince en direction du râtelier.The main object of the invention is therefore an automatic machine for placing flexible tips on a frame comprising a movable carriage carrying a laying gun, which is movable above a work station formed by a table carrying an endless band, said gun containing a magazine filled with spikes to be placed, machine which is equipped with a rack for the storage of several pistols pre-filled with spikes , rack itself accessible to a gripper of a pistol, clamp carried by said carriage, a detector, being mounted on the pistol to be able to note the absence of a point in the frame at the location installation, and to command the operation of the clamp in the direction of the rack.
Des caractéristiques particulières et avantages de 1 ' invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple non limitatif de réalisation dans lequel il est fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent : Figure 1, une vue générale en perspective de la machine automatique.Particular characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment in which reference is made to the appended drawings which represent: FIG. 1, a general perspective view of the automatic machine.
Figure 2 , une vue en élévation de la pince et du pistolet en position de travail au dessus d'une table.Figure 2, an elevational view of the clamp and the gun in the working position above a table.
Figure 3 , une vue éclatée en perspective montrant la pince et le pistolet séparés l'un de l'autre.Figure 3, an exploded perspective view showing the pliers and the gun separated from each other.
Sur la vue d'ensemble de la machine à la figure 1, on voit que le poste de travail est formé d'une table 1, portant une bande mobile sans fin 2 et transversalement à chaque extrémité, un rail 3. Sur ces rails se déplace un pont roulant 4 qui lui-même supporte un chariot mobile 5. Le chariot déplaçable longitudinalement sur le pont roulant et transversalement par les rails 3, est donc apte à couvrir toute la surface du poste de travail. Sous le chariot 5 est accroché un levier pivotant 6 sur lequel 's'articule une pince 7 qui elle-même porte un pistolet 8 destiné à la pose des pointes sur le cadre, comme le montre également la figure 2. Un vérin de positionnement 9 permet de donner à la pince, et par conséquent au pistolet, l'inclinaison recherchée par rapport à la bande 2 sur laquelle est immobilisée temporairement le cadre 14 à fermer.On the overall view of the machine in FIG. 1, it can be seen that the work station is formed of a table 1, carrying an endless moving band 2 and transversely at each end, a rail 3. On these rails are displaces an overhead crane 4 which itself supports a mobile carriage 5. The carriage movable longitudinally on the overhead crane and transversely by the rails 3, is therefore able to cover the entire surface of the work station. Under the carriage 5 is attached a swivel lever 6 on which 'revolves a clamp 7 which itself carries a gun 8 for the installation of spikes on the frame, as also shown in Figure 2. A positioning actuator 9 allows to give the clamp, and therefore the gun, the desired inclination relative to the strip 2 on which is temporarily immobilized the frame 14 to be closed.
Sur le côté de la table 1 est disposé un râtelier 10, supportant, rangés les uns à côté des autres, un certain nombre de pistolets 8 préchargés de pointes flexibles. Le râtelier est accessible à la pince de préhension 7 portée par le chariot 5, et il est avantageusement disposé en avant de la table 1 et au niveau de la bande transporteuse 2. La figure 3 illustre plus précisément comment est assuré l'accrochage du pistolet 8 à la pince 7. Celle-ci dispose de deux flancs latéraux 11 formant étau, entre lesquels vient se loger le pistolet 8. Ces flancs peuvent s'ouvrir en s ' écartant l'un de l'autre, des pions latéraux 12 assurant un guidage lors de cet écartement . Sur un côté d'un des flancs, s'articule un levier 13, actionneur de la gâchette du pistolet. Une alimentation automatique d'air au pistolet est prévue avec un joint placé sur le côté de la pince pour 1 ' étanchéité. On voit à la figure 2 le pistolet 8 incliné et en appui contre une moulure de cadre 14. La pince tenant le pistolet possède un petit vérin disposé à l'aplomb de la pointe et est muni d'un détecteur 15. Le vérin rabat la pointe sur le carton, en constatant sa présence. Si 'le détecteur (15) constate l'absence d'une pointe dans le cadre à l'endroit considéré, c'est-à-dire l'endroit de la pose, une première hypothèse est que le pistolet n'a pas fourni de pointe car il est vide, ceci étant confirmé par le comptage des pointes posées par rapport à la capacité du pistolet . Le chariot 5 et son levier pivotant 6 se déplacent alors, pour aller déposer le pistolet vide sur le râtelier 10 et en reprendre un autre plein, puis pour revenir au dessus du cadre 14 à l'emplacement de la dernière pointe, afin de poursuivre le cycle de pose. Une seconde hypothèse est qu'il y a une anomalie de fonctionnement du pistolet, décelée par le comptage des pointes posées, qui ne correspondent pas au total des pointes emmagasinées au départ dans le pistolet. Ce dernier peut revenir en arrière pour essayer à nouveau une pose, mais en cas de nouvel échec le pistolet est reconduit au râtelier 10 et remplacé par un autre, comme dans le cas précédent . Toutes ces manoeuvres sont évidemment gérées par ordinateur, et les informations "pistolet vide" ou "pistolet enrayé" s'affichent sur l'écran de la console de commande. La machine permet ainsi d'obtenir une cadence horaire élevée de poses de pointes . On the side of the table 1 is arranged a rack 10, supporting, arranged one next to the other, a certain number of pistols 8 preloaded with flexible tips. The rack is accessible to the gripper 7 carried by the carriage 5, and it is advantageously placed in front of the table 1 and at the level of the conveyor belt 2. FIG. 3 illustrates more precisely how the attachment of the gun is ensured 8 to the clamp 7. The latter has two lateral flanks 11 forming a vice, between which the pistol 8 is housed. These flanks can open by moving away from one another, lateral pins 12 ensuring guidance during this spacing. On one side of one of the sides, articulates a lever 13, actuator of the trigger of the pistol. An automatic air supply to the gun is provided with a seal placed on the side of the clamp for sealing. We see in Figure 2 the pistol 8 inclined and resting against a frame molding 14. The clamp holding the pistol has a small cylinder arranged directly above the tip and is provided with a detector 15. The cylinder flaps the points to the cardboard, noting its presence. If ' the detector (15) finds the absence of a point in the frame at the point considered, that is to say the place of installation, a first assumption is that the gun has not provided point because it is empty, this being confirmed by the counting of the points laid in relation to the capacity of the gun. The carriage 5 and its pivoting lever 6 then move, to deposit the empty pistol on the rack 10 and take up another full, then to return to the top of the frame 14 at the location of the last point, in order to continue the laying cycle. A second hypothesis is that there is an anomaly in the operation of the gun, detected by the counting of the tips laid, which do not correspond to the total of the tips stored at the start in the gun. The latter can go back to try again a pose, but in the event of another failure the gun is taken back to the rack 10 and replaced by another, as in the previous case. All these maneuvers are obviously managed by computer, and the information “empty gun” or “gun stopped” is displayed on the screen of the control console. The machine thus makes it possible to obtain a high hourly rate of poses of points.
