Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pressure roller device applied to a wound web material cutting machine, useful in the graphic arts industry to compensate for fluctuations in the thickness of the web material that is being cut and wound and to prevent the lateral sliding of web materials with a low coefficient of friction.
- Cutting-winding machines which have means for making one or more longitudinal cuts in a flexible web material unwound from a single reel, and means for re-coiling the two or more resulting strips into corresponding coaxially arranged narrower take-up reels.
- it is known to arrange a single pressure roller associated to a thruster to apply pressure on the several take-up reels as the cut material is wound.
- this single roller is not able to adapt to small differences in diameter of the take-up reels due to variations in the thickness of the cut material, so that it cannot assure that the pressure actually applied to each reel is the same.
- each assembly comprises a pivoting arm supporting the shaft of the pressure roller and a pneumatic cylinder arranged between a base plate and the pivoting arm for thrusting the roller towards the corresponding take-up reel.
- the mechanical assembly of the different pressure rollers requires leaving separation gaps between them which limit the minimum width of the take-up reels and make it difficult to adapt the system of pressure rollers to reels having different widths.
- this arrangement results in a relatively complex construction, with high manufacturing and maintenance costs.
- Patent application US-A-2004075011 discloses a pressure roller device having the features set forth in the preamble of claim 1.
- a pressure roller device for a wound web material cutting machine comprising in combination a support bar on which a pressure roller is rotatably mounted, said pressure roller being formed by a plurality of adjacent pressure segments, each of said pressure segments having an outer cylindrical surface opposite an outer cylindrical surface of at least one reel; guide means adapted for guiding movements of the pressure segments in a radial direction in relation to said support bar; and thrust means adapted for individually and independently thrusting each pressure segment guided in said guide means against said at least one reel, whereby the outer cylindrical surfaces of the pressure segments can be positioned off-centre in relation to a central line of the support bar, with different eccentricities individually determined by the contact of the outer cylindrical surface of each pressure segment with the outer cylindrical surface of the reel.

- the device of the present invention ensures that the same pressure will be applied in each reel, which provides a uniform hardness or compacting degree in all the reels.
- the pressure roller device of the present invention has the advantages in terms of performances of a known type construction having separate individual rollers, and however, as a result of being mounted on a common support bar, it can be supported on a support structure that is as simple as the one used for a prior art single pressure roller.

Therefore, the outer cylindrical surfaces 21 of the pressure segments 25 can be positioned off-centre in relation to a central line 15 of the support bar 10 to compensate for differences in diameter of the several take-up reels 30 caused by possible fluctuations in the thickness of the web material that is being cut and wound.

- the mentioned pressurized fluid is preferably pressurized air, although it could be any other gas or even a liquid.
- the expandable element 60 is substantially empty of fluid and adopts a contracted shape, so that the thrust member 50 is retracted and the pressure segment 25 can adopt an also retracted position in relation to the support bar 10.
- the expandable element 60 is full of fluid at a certain pressure, so that it is expanded up to a certain extent.

Description
- The present invention relates to a pressure roller device applied to a wound web material cutting machine, useful in the graphic arts industry to compensate for fluctuations in the thickness of the web material that is being cut and wound and to prevent the lateral sliding of web materials with a low coefficient of friction.
- Cutting-winding machines are known which have means for making one or more longitudinal cuts in a flexible web material unwound from a single reel, and means for re-coiling the two or more resulting strips into corresponding coaxially arranged narrower take-up reels. In these types of machines, it is known to arrange a single pressure roller associated to a thruster to apply pressure on the several take-up reels as the cut material is wound. However, this single roller is not able to adapt to small differences in diameter of the take-up reels due to variations in the thickness of the cut material, so that it cannot assure that the pressure actually applied to each reel is the same.
- It is also known to arrange several independent pressure roller and thrust device assemblies to be able to independently apply substantially equal pressures to each of the several take-up reels. In this case, each assembly comprises a pivoting arm supporting the shaft of the pressure roller and a pneumatic cylinder arranged between a base plate and the pivoting arm for thrusting the roller towards the corresponding take-up reel. However, the mechanical assembly of the different pressure rollers requires leaving separation gaps between them which limit the minimum width of the take-up reels and make it difficult to adapt the system of pressure rollers to reels having different widths. In addition, this arrangement results in a relatively complex construction, with high manufacturing and maintenance costs.
- Patent application
US-A-2004075011 discloses a pressure roller device having the features set forth in the preamble ofclaim 1. - The present invention contributes to overcoming the aforementioned and other drawbacks by providing a pressure roller device for a wound web material cutting machine, comprising in combination a support bar on which a pressure roller is rotatably mounted, said pressure roller being formed by a plurality of adjacent pressure segments, each of said pressure segments having an outer cylindrical surface opposite an outer cylindrical surface of at least one reel; guide means adapted for guiding movements of the pressure segments in a radial direction in relation to said support bar; and thrust means adapted for individually and independently thrusting each pressure segment guided in said guide means against said at least one reel, whereby the outer cylindrical surfaces of the pressure segments can be positioned off-centre in relation to a central line of the support bar, with different eccentricities individually determined by the contact of the outer cylindrical surface of each pressure segment with the outer cylindrical surface of the reel. According to invention, the mentioned thrust means comprise an expandable element common for all the pressure segments, said expandable element being driven by a pressurized fluid for individually thrusting the pressure segments with a common pressure.
- With this construction, the device of the present invention ensures that the same pressure will be applied in each reel, which provides a uniform hardness or compacting degree in all the reels.
- The pressure roller device of the present invention has the advantages in terms of performances of a known type construction having separate individual rollers, and however, as a result of being mounted on a common support bar, it can be supported on a support structure that is as simple as the one used for a prior art single pressure roller.
- Furthermore, the device of the present invention allows increasing the production time of the cutting machine, since it does not have to change the rollers to go, for example, from a single pressure roller to individual pressure rollers, nor does it have to make axial movements of the different pressure rollers in order to adjust the cutting machine to different reel widths.
- The pressure roller device of the present invention, including individual pressure sections, allows a smaller minimum reel width than the previously known devices.
- The previous and other advantages and features will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of an embodiment with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 is an isometric view of one end of a pressure roller device for a wound web material cutting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
Figure 2 is a cross-section view of the roller device ofFigure 1 with a contracted expandable element and a pressure segment in a retracted position in relation to a support bar; -
Figure 3 is a cross-section view similar toFigure 2 , but with the expandable element being expanded and the pressure segment in an extended position in relation to the support bar; and -
Figure 4 is a longitudinal section view of the pressure roller device ofFigure 1 . - Referring first with to
Figure 1 , the pressure roller device for a wound web material cutting machine comprises, according to one exemplary embodiment, asupport bar 10 on which apressure roller 20 is rotatably mounted, said pressure roller being formed by a plurality ofadjacent pressure segments 25 very close to one another. Each of saidpressure segments 25 has an outercylindrical surface 21 opposite an outer cylindrical surface of at least one reel 30 (indicated by means of dotted lines inFigures 2 and 3 ). In general, the cutting machine incorporates several take-up reels 30 for taking up and winding respective strips of material cut from a wider strip coming from a single input reel (not shown). The various take-up reels 30 are coaxial in relation to a shaft parallel to acentral line 15 of thesupport bar 10, and eachpressure segment 25 can correspond to one of the take-up reels 30, or there can beseveral pressure segments 25 for each of the several take-up reels 30. The cutting machine has means for moving thesupport bar 10 towards the take-up reels 30 to put thepressure segments 25 into contact with the same. - The device of the present invention further comprises guide means adapted for guiding movements of the
pressure segments 25 in a radial direction in relation to saidsupport bar 10, and thrust means adapted for individually and independently thrusting eachpressure segment 25 guided in said guide means against said at least onereel 30. Therefore, the outercylindrical surfaces 21 of thepressure segments 25 can be positioned off-centre in relation to acentral line 15 of thesupport bar 10 to compensate for differences in diameter of the several take-up reels 30 caused by possible fluctuations in the thickness of the web material that is being cut and wound. The pressure exerted by thepressure segments 25 on the take-up reels 30 further serves to provide a certain hardness or compacting degree to the reels and to prevent the lateral sliding of web materials with a low coefficient of friction. The degree of eccentricity of each of thepressure segments 25 is individually determined by the contact of the outercylindrical surface 21 of eachpressure segment 25 with an outer cylindrical surface of thereel 30. However, since said thrust means comprise anexpandable element 60 driven by a pressurized fluid common for all thepressure segments 25, thepressure segments 25 are individually thrust against the take-up reels 30 with a single pressure common to all of them. - As better shown in
Figures 2 and 3 , thesupport bar 10 is generally cylindrical and has formed two diametrically opposite planarouter faces 11 parallel to one another and parallel to thecentral line 15 of thesupport bar 10. These two planarouter faces 11 are in sliding contact with corresponding parallel planarinner faces 41 formed in acavity 42 of acore 40 on which thepressure segment 25 rotates, such that saidcore 40 together with thepressure segment 25 can be radially moved in relation to thesupport bar 10. The planarouter faces 11 of the support bar together with the mentioned planarinner faces 41 of saidcore 40 form the guide means referred to above. The mentioned thrust means comprise, in addition to saidexpandable element 60, at least onethrust member 50 for eachpressure segment 25. Thisthrust member 50 is located between thesupport bar 10 and thecore 40 of thecorresponding pressure segment 25, and theexpandable element 60 is located along thesupport bar 10 between thesupport bar 10 and all thethrust members 50. The mentioned pressurized fluid is preferably pressurized air, although it could be any other gas or even a liquid. - In the situation shown in
Figure 2 , theexpandable element 60 is substantially empty of fluid and adopts a contracted shape, so that thethrust member 50 is retracted and thepressure segment 25 can adopt an also retracted position in relation to thesupport bar 10. - In the situation shown in
Figure 3 , theexpandable element 60 is full of fluid at a certain pressure, so that it is expanded up to a certain extent. The expansion of theexpandable element 60 individually thrusts all thethrust members 50 against therespective cores 40 and the latter move radially together with therespective pressure segments 25 to an extended position in relation to thesupport bar 10, in which the outer cylindrical surfaces of thepressure segments 25 are in contact with the corresponding take-up reels 30. During the operation, the expansion of theexpandable element 60 allows the degree of extension of each of thedifferent pressure segments 25 to adjust to the particular diameter of the corresponding take-up reel 30 and, however, the pressure exerted by theexpandable element 60 is common and uniform for all thepressure segments 25. - It must be indicated that although
Figures 2 and 3 show the limit retracted and extended positions, respectively, during an actual operation thepressure segments 25 will fluctuate between intermediate retracted and extended positions without reaching, except in exceptional situations, the mentioned limit retracted and extended positions. - The
support bar 10 has formed therealong ahousing 12 in the forma of a groove with a longitudinal opening located between said two planarouter faces 11 of thesupport bar 10. Each of thethrust members 50 comprises aguide portion 51 inserted in saidhousing 12 of thesupport bar 10 such that it can slide out of and into such housing in a direction parallel to the two planarouter faces 11 of thesupport bar 10. Thethrust member 50 also comprises a projectingportion 52 having an end adapted for applying pressure on an inner surface of the mentionedcavity 42 of thecore 40 of thepressure segment 25 when thethrust member 50 is moved out of thehousing 12. Theexpandable element 60 has the form of anexpandable sleeve 60 arranged along thehousing 12 from one end of thesupport bar 10 to the other, and placed between a bottom surface of thehousing 12 and an end surface of each of saidguide portions 51 of thethrust members 50. Theexpandable sleeve 60 can be connected to a pressurized fluid source through valve means associated to thesupport bar 10, and said valve means can be closed to retain an amount of fluid at a predetermined pressure inside theexpandable sleeve 60. - At opposite edges of the longitudinal opening of the
housing 12 of thesupport bar 10 there are formed flanges aimed towards one another which interfere withprotuberances 53 formed next to an inner end of theguide portion 51 of eachthrust member 50. As a result, thethrust members 50 are retained in thehousing 12 with limited sliding possibility due to the interference of the flanges of thehousing 12 with theprotuberances 53 of thethrust members 50. Thesupport bar 10 has ends projecting from thepressure roller 20, and, in at least one of these projecting ends of the support bar 10 (shown inFigure 1 ), the longitudinal opening of thehousing 12 has a widening 13 with a sufficient size to allow the passage of theprotuberances 53 of theguide portions 51 of thethrust members 50. Thus, for the assembly of the pressure roller device of the present invention, thethrust members 50 can be introduced one after another through the mentioned widening 13 and then slid along thehousing 12 until their operational position. Astop 14 is fixed inside a portion of thehousing 12 located at the projecting end of thesupport bar 10 and facing said widening 13. The purpose of saidstop 14 is to retain thethrust members 50 inside thehousing 12 of thesupport bar 10 once they have been introduced, preventing a movement thereof in the direction of thecentral line 15. - With reference now to
Figure 4 , eachpressure segment 25 comprises acover 21a of a suitable material to provide the outercylindrical surface 21, fixed on astructural bush 29, which is rotatably mounted on itscorresponding core 40 by means of a pair ofbearings 26, which are of a type adapted to furthermore retain thepressure segment 25 on itscorresponding core 40 against a movement in an axial direction. Between every twoadjacent pressure segments 25 there are arranged one ormore separators 27 in the form of blocks of a material with a low coefficient of friction fixed to thecore 40 of one of the twoadjacent pressure segments 25 by means ofscrews 42. Each of theseseparators 27 is in sliding contact with a side surface of thecore 40 of the other one of the twoadjacent pressure segments 25 to allow movements of thepressure segments 25 in the radial direction along the guide means described above while at the same time they assure a minimal separation allowance between theadjacent pressure segments 25. Next to each of the twopressure segments 25 located at the ends of the pressure roller 20 (only one of which is shown inFigure 4 ) there are arranged one ormore stops 28 fixed to one of the planarouter faces 11 of thesupport bar 10 by means ofscrews 16. Thesestops 28 are in sliding contact with a side surface of thecore 40 of the correspondingend pressure segment 25 and retain the assembly ofpressure segments 25 forming thepressure roller 20 against movements in the axial direction while at the same time they allow movements of theend pressure segments 25 in the radial direction. - A person skilled in the art will be able to introduce variations and modifications in the embodiment shown and described without departing from the scope of the present invention as it is defined in the attached claims.
