An independent claim is included for device for an automatic sequential insertion of separate connectors in grooves of building panels.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum maschinellen, sequentiellen Einsetzen von separaten Verbindern in Nuten von plattenförmigen Baupaneelen, bei dem vorzugsweise ein endloses, Profil mit dem Querschnitt des Verbinders kontinuierlich einem Schneidmodul zugeführt und dort in Abschnitte abgelängt wird, die einer vorbestimmten Länge des Verbinders entsprechen, und bei dem die Verbinder mit Hilfe einer Einführeinrichtung in die Nuten der Baupaneele eingesetzt werden. Ferner betrifft die Erfindung eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens. Anstelle der kontinuierlichen Zuführung kann auch eine Entnahme der Verbinder aus einem Magazin erfolgen.The invention relates to a method for automated, sequential insertion of separate connectors into slots of panel-shaped building panels, wherein preferably an endless profile with the cross-section of the connector is continuously fed to a cutting module and cut into sections corresponding to a predetermined length of the connector, and wherein the connectors are inserted by means of an insertion into the grooves of the building panel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for carrying out the method. Instead of the continuous feed, the connectors can also be removed from a magazine.

Aus DE 10 2004 062 648 B4 ist ein Verfahren zum Einsetzen von Verbindern, Federn genannt, in Nuten der technischen Holzprodukte bekannt, bei dem die Federn vorkonfektioniert, sortiert und übereinanderliegend in einem Schachtmagazin derart ausgerichtet werden, dass sie in ihrer Längsrichtung bereits parallel zur Transportrichtung der Holzprodukte angeordnet sind. Die Federn werden einem Einpressgerät zugeführt, welches die Federn mit Hilfe einer Anpressrolle, einer schiefen Ebene oder eines Hubsystems in die Nuten einsetzt. In einer abweichenden Ausführungsform können die Federn direkt einer Übergabevorrichtung zugeführt und dort auf gewünschte Länge abgeschnitten werden. Allerdings sind wichtige Merkmale, enthaltend Begriffe wie Hubsystem und Übergabevorrichtung, nur aufgabenhaft formuliert und technisch unzureichend offenbart, so dass sie zur Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe, die Federn industriell in den kontinuierlich laufenden Produktionsprozess der Baupaneele einzufügen, nicht beitragen können. Außerdem ist kein Mittel vorgesehen, mit dem die Lage der eingesetzten Federn in Bezug auf die Baupaneele korrigiert werden könnte.Out DE 10 2004 062 648 B4 is a method for inserting connectors, called springs, known in grooves of technical wood products, in which the springs are prefabricated, sorted and aligned one above the other in a shaft magazine so that they are arranged in the longitudinal direction already parallel to the transport direction of the wood products. The springs are fed to a press-fit, which uses the springs by means of a pressure roller, an inclined plane or a lifting system in the grooves. In a different embodiment, the springs can be fed directly to a transfer device and cut there to the desired length become. However, important features, including terms such as lifting system and transfer device, only formulated task-oriented and technically insufficient disclosed, so that they can contribute to the solution of the task, the springs industrially insert in the continuously running production process of the building panels. In addition, no means is provided with which the position of the springs used could be corrected with respect to the building panels.

Es stellt sich die Aufgabe, ein alternatives, neuartiges Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit der sich die separaten Verbinder synchron und möglichst passgenau in die Nuten der vorbeilaufenden Baupaneele einpressen lassen.It has as its object to provide an alternative, novel method and a device with which the separate connectors can be pressed in synchronously and as accurately as possible into the grooves of the passing building panels.

Diese Aufgabe ist durch ein Verfahren zum maschinellen, sequentiellen Einsetzen von separaten Verbindern in Nuten der Baupaneele gelöst, das sich durch folgende Verfahrensschritte auszeichnet:

  • Die Verbinder werden von einem Rotationsförderer aufgenommen, in diesem temporär gehalten und dort mit ihrer Längskante parallel zur Vorschubrichtung der sich nacheinander bewegenden Baupaneele ausgerichtet;
  • die Verbinder werden nacheinander von dem Rotationsförderer mit Hilfe eines senkrecht zur Vorschubrichtung (R) hin- und her beweglichen Applikationskopfes abgenommen und sequentiell in die Nuten der vorbeigeführten Baupaneele eingepresst;
  • der Rotationsförderer wird um einen Winkel (α) gedreht, der der Lage eines nächsten, an einem Umfang des Rotationsförderers liegenden und zum Einsetzen in die Nut vorgesehenen Verbinders entspricht.
This object is achieved by a method for automatic, sequential insertion of separate connectors in grooves of the building panel, which is characterized by the following method steps:
  • The connectors are received by a rotary conveyor, held in this temporarily and there aligned with its longitudinal edge parallel to the feed direction of the successively moving building panel;
  • the connectors are successively removed from the rotary conveyor by means of an application head which is movable back and forth perpendicular to the feed direction (R) and are pressed in sequentially into the grooves of the building panels passed by;
  • the rotary conveyor is rotated by an angle (α) corresponding to the position of a next connector provided on a circumference of the rotary conveyor and intended to be inserted in the groove.

Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich, wenn

  • die Verbinder mittels eines Schneidmoduls, dem ein endloses Profil mit dem Querschnitt des Verbinders zugeführt wird, in Abschnitte mit einer Länge (L) abgelängt werden, die einer vorbestimmten Länge (L) des Verbinders entspricht, und oder
  • den Verbindern zusätzlich zu der Kraft des Applikationskopfes eine Bewegung mittels eines am Applikationskopf federnd angeordneten, eine Stoßkraft ausübenden Schiebers vermittelt wird.
Advantageous developments emerge when
  • the connectors are cut into sections having a length (L) corresponding to a predetermined length (L) of the connector by means of a cutting module supplied with an endless profile with the cross-section of the connector, and / or
  • the connectors in addition to the force of the application head a movement by means of a spring on the application head arranged, an impact force exerting slide is mediated.

Vorteilhaft ist, wenn die Lage der in der Nut eingesetzten Verbinder mit Hilfe einer dem Applikationskopf nachgeschalteten Andrückrolle geprüft und nach Bedarf korrigiert werden kann. Die Andrückrolle fungiert nicht als Einpressgerät und übernimmt lediglich die Prüf- und Korrekturfunktion. Geprüft werden kann beispielsweise mit Hilfe wenigstens eines in den Modul der Andrückrolle eingebauten optischen Sensors.It is advantageous if the position of the connector inserted in the groove can be checked with the aid of a pressure roller connected downstream of the application head and corrected as required. The pressure roller does not function as a press-fit device and only performs the checking and correction function. It is possible to test, for example, with the aid of at least one optical sensor installed in the module of the pressure roller.

Vorteilhaft ist, wenn der Rotationsförderer nach jeder Drehung um den Winkel (α) eine drehende Retourbewegung um einen Winkel von 0,5° bis 2°, bevorzugt um einen Winkel von 1°, ausüben kann. Dies ermöglicht einen kollisionsfreien Bewegungsablauf des Applikationsprozesses.It is advantageous if the rotary conveyor after each rotation about the angle (α) a rotating return movement by an angle of 0.5 ° to 2 °, preferably by an angle of 1 ° , can exercise. This allows a collision-free motion sequence of the application process.

Ein weiteres Merkmal der Erfindung sieht eine Rückbewegung des Applikationskopfes nach dem Einsetzen des separaten Verbinders in die Nut vor. Durch die Rückbewegung können nachfolgende Arbeitsschritte: der Profil-Vorschub, das Schneiden und die Drehung unabhängig von dem Applikationszyklus taktweise und zeitsparend durchgeführt werden.Another feature of the invention provides for a return movement of the application head after insertion of the separate connector into the groove. As a result of the return movement, subsequent working steps: the profile feed, the cutting and the rotation can be carried out in a cyclic and time-saving manner independently of the application cycle.

Praktisch übt eine ganze Vorrichtung, die nachfolgend beschrieben wird, eine Rückbewegung senkrecht zur Vorschubrichtung der Baupaneele aus. Nur die Lage der Andrückrolle bleibt während des ganzen Bewegungsablaufes der Vorrichtung unverändert.Practically, an entire device, which will be described below, exercises a return movement perpendicular to the feed direction the building panel. Only the position of the pressure roller remains unchanged throughout the movement sequence of the device.

Von großem Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist die Möglichkeit des impulsartigen Einpressens der separaten Verbinder in die Nuten der vorbeilaufenden Baupaneele, mit dem sich die Lage des Verbinders am jeweiligen Baupaneel mit größer Genauigkeit und wiederholbar festlegen lässt. Die Lageabweichungen können beispielsweise ± 5,0 mm bei einer Paneel-Länge von 2,5 m betragen.A great advantage of the method according to the invention is the possibility of the pulse-like pressing of the separate connector in the grooves of the passing building panels, with which the position of the connector on the respective building panel can be set with greater accuracy and repeatable. The position deviations can be, for example, ± 5.0 mm with a panel length of 2.5 m.

The device then represents the last link of the Baupaneel processing station - seen in the direction of the building panel - dar they may also be located outside the building panel processing station.

Für die Anbringung der Vorrichtung an der Baupaneel-Bearbeitungsstation eignet sich insbesondere gut eine senkrecht zur Vorschubrichtung der Baupaneele angeordnete Gehäusewand einer Baupaneel-Bearbeitungsstation, wobei die Vorrichtung innerhalb dieses mit Abzugsventilation ausgestatteten Gehäuses angeordnet ist. Dabei ist vorteilhaft, die Vorrichtung beweglich an einem am Gehäuse befestigten Schlitten zu platzieren, so dass die Lage der Vorrichtung reguliert werden kann.For the attachment of the device to the building panel processing station is particularly well suited a perpendicular to the feed direction of the building panel housing wall of a building panel processing station, wherein the device is disposed within this equipped with exhaust ventilation housing. It is advantageous to move the device to a slide mounted on the housing, so that the position of the device can be regulated.

Der Schieber kann federnd an einem freien Ende des beweglichen Applikationskopfes gelagert sein. Eine federnde Lagerung bezieht sich im vorliegenden Fall auf wenigstens ein in einem Sitz des Schiebers untergebrachtes und dort befestigtes Federelement, wie Stoßfeder. Der Schieber selbst kann finger-, steg- oder plattenförmig sein.The slider may be resiliently mounted on a free end of the movable application head.

Vorzugsweise ist das Aggregat entlang wenigstens zweier an der Basisplatte angebrachten und zueinander parallel verlaufenden Schienen hin- und her senkrecht zur Vorschubrichtung der Baupaneele beweglich angeordnet. Dabei bleibt die Andrückrolle unbeweglich, d. h. ihre Lage gegenüber den vorbeilaufenden Baupaneelen ist konstant. Zum Abtasten der in die Nuten eingeschlagen Verbinder kann die Andrückrolle mit wenigstens einem optischen Sensor ausgestattet sein.Preferably, the unit along at least two attached to the base plate and mutually parallel rails back and forth perpendicular to the feed direction of the building panel is arranged to be movable. The pressure roller remains stationary, d. H. their position opposite the passing building panels is constant. For scanning the connectors hammered into the grooves, the pressure roller can be equipped with at least one optical sensor.

Einzelheiten des Rotationsförderers 8 sind den Figuren 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 13 zu entnehmen. Er besteht aus zwei um eine Drehachse A drehbaren, rotationssymmetrischen Seitenscheiben 10.1, 10.2, die an ihrem Umfang 4 jeweils mit mehreren Greifern 2.1, 2.2 zur Aufnahme und Positionierung der Verbinder 22 versehen sind (vergl. Fig. 12). Dabei sind die Greifer jedes Greifer-Paares 2.1, 2.2, das den Verbinder aufnimmt, zueinander spiegelsymmetrisch angeordnet. Der Rotationsförderer 8 wird mit Hilfe eines Servomotors 46 taktweise in Drehbewegung gesetzt. Aus den Figuren 7 bis 9 geht es hervor, dass der Greifer 2.1, 2.2 einen Hebelarm 15 aufweist, der den Verbinder 22 mit Hilfe eines Federelementes 17 gegen ein Greifer-Basiselement 16 drückt.Details of the rotary conveyor 8 are the Figures 2 . 4 . 5 . 7 . 12 . 13 refer to. It consists of two rotatable about an axis of rotation A, rotationally symmetrical side windows 10.1, 10.2, which are provided at its periphery 4 each with a plurality of grippers 2.1, 2.2 for receiving and positioning the connector 22 (see.

Funktionsweise der VorrichtungOperation of the device

(vgl. Figuren: 2, 3, 12 bis 23):

  • Das endlose Profil 18 mit dem Querschnitt des Verbinders wird mit Hilfe des Profil-Vorschubgerätes 3 der Richteinrichtung 6 zugeführt und dort mit dem Schneidmodul 5 auf entsprechende Länge L des Verbinders 22 geschnitten. Danach öffnet sich die Richteinrichtung 6; das abgeschnittene Profil, d. h. der Verbinder 22 wird weiter mit Hilfe des am Rotationsförderer 8 angeordneten Greifer-Paares 2.1, 2.2 zum Applikationskopf 12 transportiert. Transportiert wird um den Drehwinkel von 37° am Umfang des Rotationsförderers 8. Der Rück- und Vorschubmodul 1 erzwingt eine lineare Bewegung der ganzen Vorrichtung 100, ausgenommen Andrückrolle 13, in Richtung Baupaneel, bis die Vorrichtung eine Applikationsstellung erreicht. Danach schließt sich die Richteinrichtung 6 und ist wieder zur Übergabe des Profils 18 bereit. Damit wird der Zuführ-, Richt- und Schneidzyklus geschlossen.
(see. Figures: 2, 3 . 12 to 23 ):
  • The endless profile 18 with the cross section of the connector is fed by means of the profile feed device 3 of the straightening device 6 and cut there with the cutting module 5 to the corresponding length L of the connector 22. Thereafter, the straightening device 6 opens; the cut profile, ie the connector 22 is further arranged by means of the rotary conveyor 8 Gripper pair 2.1, 2.2 transported to the application head 12. The return and feed module 1 forces a linear movement of the entire device 100, except the pressure roller 13, in the direction of the building panel until the device reaches an application position. Thereafter, the straightening device 6 closes and is ready to hand over the profile 18 again. This closes the feeding, straightening and cutting cycle.

Sobald sich das Baupaneel 20 in der Applikationsstellung befindet, dreht sich der Rotationsförderer 8 rückwärts um einen Winkel von 1°; dann wird der Verbinder 22 mit dem Applikationskopf 12 schlagartig in die Nut 21 eingepresst. Danach rückt der Rück- und Vorschubmodul 1 in die Position, in der der Rotationsförderer 8 zur Drehbewegung um den Winkel 37° bereit ist. So wird der Zyklus der Drehbewegung des Rotationsförderers 8 und der linearen Bewegung des Applikationskopfes 12 geschlossen.Once the building panel 20 is in the application position, the rotary conveyor 8 rotates backward by an angle of 1 °; then the connector 22 is pressed with the application head 12 abruptly into the groove 21. Thereafter, the return and feed module 1 moves into the position in which the rotary conveyor 8 is ready to rotate about the angle 37 °. Thus, the cycle of the rotational movement of the rotary conveyor 8 and the linear movement of the application head 12 is closed.

Das sich bewegende Baupaneel 20 mit dem darin untergebrachten Verbinder zieht über die Andrückrolle 13 her, so dass die Lage des Verbinders laufend korrigiert werden kann.The moving building panel 20 with the connector housed therein pulls over the pressure roller 13, so that the position of the connector can be corrected continuously.

Die beschriebenen Abläufe sind anhand eines in Fig. 24 dargestellten Zyklogramms mit drei gleichen Zyklen angedeutet. Ein Binärsystem zeigt mit der Ziffer [1] die Aktivierung und mit der Ziffer [0] den Ruhestand der einzelnen Aggregats-Teilen in den Zyklen-Phasen, nämlich des Profil-Vorschubgerätes 3, des Schneidmoduls 5, der Richteinrichtung 6, des Rotationsförderers 8, des Applikationskopfes 12 und des Rück- und Vorschubmoduls 1.The procedures described are based on an in Fig. 24 shown cyclogram with three equal cycles indicated. A binary system shows with the digit [1] the activation and the digit [0] the retirement of the individual aggregate parts in the cycle phases, namely the profile feed device 3, the cutting module 5, the straightening device 6, the rotary conveyor 8, the application head 12 and the return and feed module. 1
