Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung zum Herstellen von Fertigartikeln, wie zum Beispiel von Behältern oder Schalen aus einem bandförmigen Material.The invention relates to a device for producing finished articles, such as containers or trays from a band-shaped material.

Üblicherweise werden Fertigartikel, beispielsweise in der Form von Schalen zum Verpacken von Nahrungsmitteln, mit der Hilfe von Pressen erzeugt, die durch Kurbelwellenantriebe betrieben werden. Dabei werden selbständige Einheiten, wie zum Beispiel eine Abwickel- bzw. Zuführeinheit zum Liefern eines bandförmigen Materials; eine Presseinheit zum Pressen der Fertigartikel aus dem bandförmigen Material sowie eine Stapeleinheit zum Sammeln und Stapeln der hergestellten Fertigartikel entlang einer Produktionslinie hintereinander aufgestellt. Beispielsweise besteht das bandförmige Material aus Aluminium.Finished articles, for example in the form of trays for packaging food, are usually produced with the help of presses which are operated by crankshaft drives. Independent units, such as an unwinding or feeding unit for delivering a strip-shaped material; a press unit for pressing the finished articles from the band-shaped material and a stacking unit for collecting and stacking the finished articles produced along a production line. For example, the band-shaped material consists of aluminum.

Aus der US 4 534 725 A geht eine Einrichtung hervor, die eine Zuführeinheit, eine Presseinheit und eine Stapeleinheit umfasst, die separat nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Dabei ist in einem neben der Presseinheit angeordneten ersten Gestell ein Wickel angeordnet, von dem gemäß Figur 1 das bandförmige Material abgewickelt und Förderrollen zugeführt wird, die sich in der Presseinheit befinden. Die Presseinrichtung befindet sich in einem zweiten Gehäuse, das vom ersten Gehäuse beabstandet ist. Die in der Presseinheit hergestellten Fertigartikel werden gemäß Figur 6 über eine Rampe einer Stapeleinheit zugeführt, die in einem dritten Gehäuse angeordnet ist, das von dem zweiten Gehäuse der Presseinheit beabstandet ist.From the US 4,534,725 A is a device that includes a feed unit, a pressing unit and a stacking unit, which are arranged separately next to each other. In this case, a winding is arranged in a first frame arranged next to the pressing unit, of which according to Figure 1 the band-shaped material is unwound and conveyor rollers are fed, which are located in the press unit. The pressing device is located in a second housing which is spaced apart from the first housing. According to FIG. 6, the finished articles produced in the pressing unit are fed via a ramp to a stacking unit which is arranged in a third housing which is spaced apart from the second housing of the pressing unit.

Aus der DE 22 11 928 A ist eine Vorrichtung zur Herstellung von becherförmigen Formlingen bekannt, bei der das bandförmige Material von einem Wickel abgewickelt und über eine Umlenkrolle einer Kettentransporteinrichtung zugeführt wird. Eine Presseinrichtung umfasst ein oberes ortsfestes Formteil und ein unteres bewegliches Formteil. Die in der Presseinrichtung hergestellten Fertigartikel werden nachfolgend in einer Stapelstation gestapelt.From the DE 22 11 928 A A device for producing cup-shaped moldings is known, in which the band-shaped material is unwound from a roll and fed to a chain transport device via a deflection roller. A pressing device comprises an upper, stationary molded part and a lower, movable molded part. The finished articles produced in the pressing device are subsequently stacked in a stacking station.

In der EP 2274159 B1 ist eine Einrichtung der vorliegenden Art beschrieben, die eine Zuführeinheit, in der das bandförmige Material von einer Spule abgewickelt wird, umfasst. Das abgewickelte bandförmige Material wird nachfolgend schrittweise einer Presseinheit zugeführt, in der es zwischen einem oberen Formteil und einem unteren Formteil hindurchgeführt wird. Das obere Formteil und das untere Formteil bilden, wenn sie gegeneinander gepresst sind, zwischen sich einen Hohlraum, der im Hinblick auf seine Form und seine Größe dem herzustellenden Fertigartikel entspricht. Beim Pressvorgang wird das obere Formteil mit der Hilfe eines durch einen Elektromotor betriebenen Gewindemechanismus in Richtung auf das ortsfest angeordnete untere Formteil bewegt. Die gepressten Fertigartikel werden dann der Presseinheit durch eine Entnahmeeinrichtung entnommen und nachfolgend einer Stapeleinheit zugeführt und gestapelt. Die Zuführeinheit, die Presseinheit, die Entnahmeeinrichtung und die Stapeleinheit sind als separate Einheiten entlang einer Produktionslinie in der genannten Reihenfolge in Längsrichtung hintereinander angeordnet.In the EP 2274159 B1 describes a device of the present type which comprises a feed unit in which the strip-shaped material is unwound from a spool. The unwound band-shaped material is gradually one Press unit supplied, in which it is passed between an upper mold part and a lower mold part. When pressed against one another, the upper molded part and the lower molded part form a cavity between them which corresponds in terms of its shape and size to the finished article to be produced. During the pressing process, the upper molded part is moved in the direction of the fixedly arranged lower molded part with the aid of a threaded mechanism operated by an electric motor. The pressed finished articles are then removed from the pressing unit by a removal device and subsequently fed to a stacking unit and stacked. The feed unit, the pressing unit, the removal device and the stacking unit are arranged as separate units along a production line in the order mentioned in the longitudinal direction one behind the other.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine bekannte Einrichtung der vorgenannten Art dahingehend zu verbessern, dass sie relativ kompakt und raumsparend und zugleich kostensparend im Hinblick auf ihre Aufstellung und Bedienung ist.The object of the present invention is to improve a known device of the aforementioned type so that it is relatively compact and space-saving and at the same time cost-saving with regard to its installation and operation.

Die erfindungsgemäße Einrichtung umfasst zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe die Merkmale gemäß Anspruch 1.To achieve this object, the device according to the invention comprises the features according to claim 1.

Der wesentliche Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass die vorliegende Einrichtung zum Herstellen von Fertigartikeln aus einem bandförmigen Material als eine kompakte Einheit ausgebildet ist, die einen Zuführbereich, in dem das bandförmige Material von einer Spule abgewickelt wird, einen Pressbereich, in dem die Fertigartikel aus dem bandförmigen Material gepresst werden und einen Stapelbereich umfasst, in dem die aufeinanderfolgend in dem Pressbereich hergestellten Fertigartikel gestapelt werden. Dabei ist es von wesentlicher Bedeutung, dass die genannten Bereiche in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse bzw. Gestell unmittelbar nebeneinander angeordnet und funktionell sowie konstruktiv zu einer eng bzw. klein bauenden, kompakten Einheit zusammengefasst sind.The main advantage of the present invention is that the present device for producing finished articles from a band-shaped material is designed as a compact unit which has a feed area in which the band-shaped material is unwound from a spool, a pressing area in which the finished articles are pressed from the band-shaped material and comprise a stacking area in which the finished articles successively produced in the pressing area are stacked. It is essential that the areas mentioned are arranged directly next to one another in a common housing or frame and are functionally and structurally combined to form a narrow or compact unit.

Vorteilhafterweise werden dadurch, dass der Zuführbereich, der Pressbereich und der Stapelbereich als kompakte Einheit in einem gemeinsamen Gestell angeordnet sind, die Herstellungskosten der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung wesentlich reduziert.Advantageously, the feed area, the pressing area and the stacking area are arranged as a compact unit in a common frame are, the manufacturing costs of the device according to the invention are significantly reduced.

Da die vorliegende Erfindung als kompakte Einheit ausgebildet ist, die eine relativ kleine Grundfläche besitzt, wird bei der Aufstellung der Einrichtung in einer Fabrikhalle oder dergleichen eine wesentlich geringere Fläche benötigt, als dies bei den bekannten Einrichtungen der Fall ist. Dies führt zu erheblichen Kosteneinsparungen.Since the present invention is designed as a compact unit which has a relatively small footprint, the installation of the device in a factory hall or the like requires a much smaller area than is the case with the known devices. This leads to considerable cost savings.

Da die vorliegende Einheit ein relativ geringes Gewicht besitzt, kann sie relativ einfach bewegt und kostengünstig transportiert werden. Ein im Vergleich zu einem Transport mit dem Schiff schneller Lufttransport ist daher ebenfalls möglich.Since the present unit has a relatively low weight, it can be moved relatively easily and transported inexpensively. Air transport, which is faster than transport by ship, is therefore also possible.

Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, dass die vorliegende, als kompakte Einheit ausgebildete Einrichtung zum Pressen von Fertigartikeln ohne weiteres durch einen einzigen Bediener gesteuert werden kann, wohingegen bei der zuvor erläuterten, bekannten Einrichtung, bei der entlang einer Produktionslinie voneinander getrennte eigenständige Einheiten zum Abwickeln, Pressen und Stapeln nebeneinander angeordnet sind, mehrere Bediener erforderlich sind.Another significant advantage of the present invention is that the present device, designed as a compact unit, for pressing finished articles can be easily controlled by a single operator, whereas in the known device explained above, in which separate devices are separated from one another along a production line Unwinding, pressing and stacking units are arranged side by side, multiple operators are required.

Dadurch, dass das an einem Armteil angeordnete Abwickelrad auf der Oberfläche des Wickels anordenbar ist, ergibt sich eine besonders raumsparende Anordnung der Einzelteile (Wickel, Armteil, Abwickelrad, Antrieb, Förderrollen) des Zuführbereichs in der Längs- und Querrichtung sowie in der Höhe der vorliegenden Einrichtung.The fact that the unwinding wheel arranged on an arm part can be arranged on the surface of the winding results in a particularly space-saving arrangement of the individual parts (winding, arm part, unwinding wheel, drive, conveyor rollers) of the feed area in the longitudinal and transverse directions and in the height of the present Facility.

Besonders vorteilhaft, weil einfach und kompakt, ist die vorliegende Einrichtung deshalb, weil bei der im Zuführbereich des Gestells eine Führungsfläche zwischen einer, dem Wickel nachgeschalteten und am Gestell befestigten Führungsrolle und den Förderrollen angeordnet ist, um das bandförmige Material von der Führungsrolle zu dem Spalt zwischen den Förderrollen zu führen, wobei sich die Führungsfläche über dem Armteil befindet.The present device is particularly advantageous because it is simple and compact because, in the case of a guide surface in the feed region of the frame, it is arranged between a guide roller connected downstream of the winding and fastened to the frame and the conveyor rollers in order to move the band-shaped material from the guide roller to the gap between the conveyor rollers, with the guide surface above the arm part.

Ein weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich daraus, dass bei der vorliegenden Erfindung der Wickel auf einer Spule angeordnet ist, deren Welle in sich in Querrichtung gegenüberliegenden Aufnahmeteilen gelagert ist, die an sich gegenüberliegenden Bereichen des Gestells angeordnet sind. Bedarfsweise können daher verschiedene Spulen mit unterschiedlichen bandförmigen Materialen zur Herstellung unterschiedlicher Fertigartikel schnell und einfach ausgetauscht werden.A further advantage results from the fact that in the present invention the winding is arranged on a spool, the shaft of which is mounted in opposite transverse receiving parts, which are arranged on opposite regions of the frame. If necessary, different spools with different band-shaped materials for the production of different finished articles can therefore be exchanged quickly and easily.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung werden die im Pressbereich hergestellten Fertigartikel dem Stapelbereich zugeführt und auf einem im Gestell angeordneten Fördertisch gestapelt, der vorzugsweise höhenverstellbar ausgebildet ist. Seine Position kann daher während des Stapelvorgangs an die jeweilige Stapelhöhe der Fertigartikel angepasst werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the finished articles produced in the pressing area are fed to the stacking area and stacked on a conveyor table arranged in the frame, which is preferably designed to be height-adjustable. Its position can therefore be adapted to the respective stacking height of the finished articles during the stacking process.

Das aus dem bahnförmigen Material beim Pressen anfallende Abfallmaterial wird bei einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorteilhafterweise über einen Führungsschacht in einen Abfallsammelbehälter befördert, der in dem Stapelbereich unter dem Fördertisch angeordnet ist, wobei der Führungsschacht in dem Gestell zwischen dem Pressbereich und dem Stapelbereich ausgebildet ist und daher wenig Raum einnimmt. Auf diese Weise steht der beim Pressen anfallende Abfall zu einer schnellen und einfachen Entsorgung bereit. Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung umfasst der Führungsschacht einen ersten Schenkelbereich und einen zweiten Schenkelbereich, die in einem Eckbereich miteinander verbunden sind, wobei der erste Schenkelbereich vom Pressbereich ausgeht und der zweite Schenkelbereich oberhalb des Abfallsammelbehälters endet. In dem Eckbereich ist eine Düsenanordnung derart angeordnet, dass sie den beim Pressen entstehenden Abfall aus dem Pressbereich in den ersten Schenkelbereich zum Eckbereich saugt und aus dem Eckbereich in den zweiten Schenkelbereich drückt. Auf diese Weise wird - in das Gestell integriert - eine besonders schnelle und effektive Beförderung des Abfalles vom Pressbereich zum Abfallsammelbehälter erreicht.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the waste material obtained from the web-shaped material during the pressing is advantageously conveyed via a guide shaft into a waste collection container which is arranged in the stacking area under the conveyor table, the guide shaft being formed in the frame between the pressing area and the stacking area and therefore takes up little space. In this way, the waste generated during pressing is ready for quick and easy disposal. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the guide shaft comprises a first leg area and a second leg area which are connected to one another in a corner area, the first leg area starting from the pressing area and the second leg area ending above the waste collection container. A nozzle arrangement is arranged in the corner area in such a way that it sucks the waste arising during the pressing from the pressing area into the first leg area to the corner area and presses it out of the corner area into the second leg area. In this way, particularly fast and effective transport of the waste from the pressing area to the waste collection container is achieved - integrated into the frame.

Um die vorliegende Einrichtung besonders kompakt zu gestalten, ist die Elektronik zur Steuerung der Einrichtung bei einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung im Gestell, vorzugsweise an einem im Gestell unter dem Pressbereich montierten Panel angeordnet.In order to make the present device particularly compact, the electronics for controlling the device in a further development of the invention are in the frame, preferably on a panel mounted in the frame under the pressing area arranged.

Besonders bevorzugt sind bei einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die sich jeweils in Querrichtung gegenüberliegenden Riemenräder auf einer gemeinsamen, im Gestell gelagerten Welle angeordnet, wobei jeweils eine Welle eines Riemenpaares durch einen Antriebsmotor antreibbar ist.In one embodiment of the invention, the belt wheels which are opposite each other in the transverse direction are particularly preferably arranged on a common shaft mounted in the frame, wherein one shaft of a pair of belts can be driven by a drive motor.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung sind am Gestell vier Führungsschienen (38) angeordnet, von denen jeweils eine einen Eckbereich des oberen Formhalteteiles (20) führt.In an advantageous development of the invention, four guide rails (38) are arranged on the frame, each of which guides a corner region of the upper mold-holding part (20).

In dem Zuführbereich 3 ist eine Spule 6 auf einer Welle 7 gelagert, wobei die Spule 6 einen Wickel 8 aus dem bandförmigen Material 9 (Figur 3) umfasst bzw. trägt. Die Spule 6 mit dem Wickel 8 wird durch ein Abwickelrad 10 in Drehung versetzt, das an der Oberfläche des Wickels 8 anliegt und durch einen elektrischen Antrieb 11 in Drehung versetzt wird. Dabei befindet sich das Abwickelrad 10 vorzugsweise an einem Endbereich eines Armteils 12, das um einen Drehpunkt 13 (Figur 3) an seinem anderen Endbereich drehbar ist. Dabei liegt das Abwickelrad 10 auf der Oberfläche des Wickels 8 auf, so dass der Wickel 8 in Richtung des Pfeiles 15 in Drehung versetzt wird. Am Gestell 2 ist ein Antriebsmotor 11 angeordnet, der das Antriebsrad über einen Getriebemechanismus 39 antreibt.In the feed area 3, a coil 6 is mounted on a shaft 7, the coil 6 being a winding 8 made of the band-shaped material 9 ( Figure 3 ) includes or bears. The spool 6 with the winding 8 is set in rotation by an unwinding wheel 10 which bears against the surface of the winding 8 and is set in rotation by an electric drive 11. The unwinding wheel 10 is preferably located on an end region of an arm part 12, which is about a pivot point 13 ( Figure 3 ) is rotatable at its other end region. The unwinding wheel 10 rests on the surface of the winding 8, so that the winding 8 is set in rotation in the direction of the arrow 15. A drive motor 11 is arranged on the frame 2 and drives the drive wheel via a gear mechanism 39.

Die den Wickel 8 tragende Spule 6 ist mit ihrer Welle 7 in einer einfachen Weise, vorzugsweise in sich nach oben öffnenden Mulden 15 zweier Aufnahmeteile 14 einsetzbar, die sich in Querrichtung gegenüberliegend an den Rahmenteilen 16, 16 bzw. am Gestell 2 befestigt sind. Zweckmäßigerweise handelt es sich bei dem Abwickelrad 10 um ein Rad, dessen Oberfläche gummiert oder mit einem sonstigen rutschfesten Belag versehen ist, um seine Drehung besonders effektiv und schlupffest auf den Wickel 8 zu übertragen.The coil 6 carrying the winding 8 can be used with its shaft 7 in a simple manner, preferably in upwardly opening troughs 15 of two receiving parts 14, which are fastened opposite one another in the transverse direction on the frame parts 16, 16 or on the frame 2. The unwinding wheel 10 is expediently a wheel, the surface of which is rubberized or provided with another non-slip coating in order to transmit its rotation to the reel 8 in a particularly effective and slip-resistant manner.

Das Gestell 2 umfasst vorzugsweise, wie dies bereits erwähnt wurde, zwei senkrecht zur Längsachse voneinander beabstandete und in Querrichtung miteinander verbundene, parallele Rahmenteile 16 an denen alle relevanten Elemente der vorliegenden Einrichtung 1 befestigt sind.As already mentioned, the frame 2 preferably comprises two parallel frame parts 16 which are spaced apart from one another perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and connected to one another in the transverse direction, to which all relevant elements of the present device 1 are fastened.

Das vom Wickel 8 abgewickelte bandförmige Material verläuft zweckmäßigerweise über eine drehbare Führungsrolle 17, die ebenfalls an den Rahmenteilen 16 befestigt ist. Oberhalb des Armteiles 12 ist am Gestell 2 eine Führungsfläche 30 angeordnet, über die das bahnförmige Material 9 zu zwei übereinander angeordneten Förderrollen 29, 29 geführt wird. Die plattenförmig ausgestaltete Führungsfläche 30 kann die aus der Figur 4 ersichtlichen Aussparungen bzw. Öffnungen 40 aufweisen, um ein unerwünschtes Anhaften des bandförmigen Materials 9 zu verhindern. Vorzugsweise ist eine der Förderrollen 29, z. B. die untere Rolle, ortsfest am Gestell 2 angeordnet, während die andere, im Beispiel die obere Förderrolle 29 vertikal beweglich am Gestell 2 befestigt ist, sodass sie einen vorgegebenen Druck auf das in den Spalt zwischen den Förderrollen eingeführte bahnförmige Material ausüben kann. Die gezielte Druckausübung erfolgt vorzugsweise durch eine am Gestell 2 angeordnete Kolben/Zylinderanordnung 32. Ein unerwünschtes Durchhängen des bandförmigen Materials 9 nach unten kann durch entsprechende Ansteuerung der Förderrollen 29 mit einem durch einen am Gestell 2 angeordneten Sensor 31 erzeugten Signal verhindert werden.The band-shaped material unwound from the winding 8 expediently runs over a rotatable guide roller 17, which is also fastened to the frame parts 16. Above the arm part 12, a guide surface 30 is arranged on the frame 2, via which the web-shaped material 9 is guided to two conveyor rollers 29, 29 arranged one above the other. The plate-shaped guide surface 30 can be made from the Figure 4 Obvious recesses or openings 40 to prevent undesirable adhesion of the band-shaped Material 9 to prevent. Preferably one of the conveyor rollers 29, e.g. B. the lower roller, fixed to the frame 2, while the other, in the example the upper conveyor roller 29 is vertically movably attached to the frame 2 so that it can exert a predetermined pressure on the web-shaped material introduced into the gap between the conveyor rollers. The targeted application of pressure is preferably carried out by a piston / cylinder arrangement 32 arranged on the frame 2. Undesired sagging of the band-shaped material 9 downwards can be prevented by correspondingly controlling the conveyor rollers 29 with a signal generated by a sensor 31 arranged on the frame 2.

Für ein exaktes, schnelles und fehlerfreies Arbeiten der vorliegenden Einrichtung 1 ist die Positionierung der Förderrollen 29,29 in unmittelbarer Nähe des Pressbereichs 4 von erheblicher Bedeutung. Nur durch diese Nähe wird erfindungsgemäß ein exaktes, wellenfreies Zuführen des bahnförmigen Materials direkt in den Pressbereich 4 und zu den Formteilen 18, 19 möglich.The positioning of the conveyor rollers 29, 29 in the immediate vicinity of the pressing area 4 is of considerable importance for precise, fast and error-free working of the present device 1. Only this proximity enables an exact, wave-free feeding of the web-shaped material directly into the pressing area 4 and to the molded parts 18, 19.

Der Pressbereich 4 umfasst vertikal übereinander angeordnet ein ortsfestes, am Gestell 2 befestigtes unteres Formhalteteil 27 und ein am Gestell 2 bewegbar angeordnetes oberes Formhalteteil 20. An dem oberen Formhalteteil 20 ist ein oberes Formteil 19 befestigbar, während an dem unteren Formhalteteil 27 ein unteres Formteil 18 befestigbar ist. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, dass zur Erzeugung individueller Fertigartikel jeweils erforderliche Formteile 19 an dem Formhalteteil 20 und 18 an dem Formhalteteil 27 montiert werden können.The pressing area 4 comprises a fixed lower mold holding part 27 fastened to the frame 2 and an upper mold holding part 20 movably arranged on the frame 2 is attachable. In this way, it is achieved that the mold parts 19 required for producing individual finished articles can be mounted on the mold holding parts 20 and 18 on the mold holding part 27.

Zur vertikalen Bewegung des Formhalteteiles 20 sind in der insbesondere aus der Figur 1 ersichtlichen Weise vier Antriebsriemen 21 vorgesehen, wobei in Querrichtung gesehen sich gegenüberliegend und in Längsrichtung voneinander beabstandet zwei Paare von Antriebsriemen 21 vorgesehen sind. Jeweils ein Antriebsriemen 21 verläuft an einem Ende, d.h. also oben und unten, um ein Riemenrad 22, das am Gestell 2 bzw. an einem Rahmenteil 16 drehbar gelagert ist. In der Figur 1 sind die Antriebsriemen 21 und die Riemenräder 22 teilweise nur schematisch dargestellt. Dabei befinden sich die jeweils in Querrichtung gegenüberliegenden oberen und unteren Riemenräder 22 vorzugsweise jeweils auf einer Welle 23, die zwischen den sich einander in Querrichtung gegenüberliegenden Rahmenteilen 16 gelagert ist. Vorzugsweise wird eine Welle 23 eines sich gegenüberliegenden Riemenpaares durch einen Antriebsmotor 24 angetrieben, der am Gestell 2 befestigt ist. An in Längsrichtung gegenüberliegenden Seiten oder an vier Eckbereichen ist das Formhalteteil 20 an den vier Antriebsriemen 21 befestigt, so dass es bei einer entsprechenden Betätigung der Antriebsmotoren 24 vertikal in Richtung auf das untere Formteil 18 oder von diesem weg bewegbar ist. Das bahnförmige Material 9 wird von den Förderrollen 19, 19 direkt durch die Formteile 19 und 20 hindurchgeführt, so dass aus ihm bei einer Bewegung des oberen Formteiles 20 gegen das untere Formteil 19 ein Fertigartikel herstellbar ist.For the vertical movement of the mold-holding part 20 are in particular from the Figure 1 Obviously, four drive belts 21 are provided, two pairs of drive belts 21 being provided opposite one another in the transverse direction and spaced apart in the longitudinal direction. A drive belt 21 runs at one end, ie above and below, around a belt wheel 22 which is rotatably mounted on the frame 2 or on a frame part 16. In the Figure 1 the drive belts 21 and the belt wheels 22 are partially shown only schematically. The upper and lower belt wheels 22, which are opposite each other in the transverse direction, are preferably located in each case a shaft 23 which is mounted between the frame parts 16 lying opposite one another in the transverse direction. A shaft 23 of an opposing pair of belts is preferably driven by a drive motor 24 which is fastened to the frame 2. The form-holding part 20 is fastened to the four drive belts 21 on opposite sides in the longitudinal direction or at four corner regions, so that when the drive motors 24 are actuated accordingly, it can be moved vertically in the direction of the lower form part 18 or away from it. The web-shaped material 9 is guided by the conveyor rollers 19, 19 directly through the molded parts 19 and 20, so that a finished article can be produced from it when the upper molded part 20 moves against the lower molded part 19.

Im Gestell 2 sind vier Führungsschienen 38 montiert, in denen das Formhalteteil 20 bei seiner vertikalen Bewegung geführt wird. Zweckmäßigerweise sind die vier Eckbereiche des Formhalteteiles 20 in den Führungsschienen 38 geführt, sodass eine besonders präzise und spielfreie Führung des Formhalteteiles 20 erreicht wird. Dies ist für die Qualität der hergestellten Fertigartikel von Bedeutung.Four guide rails 38 are mounted in the frame 2, in which the form-holding part 20 is guided during its vertical movement. The four corner regions of the mold-holding part 20 are expediently guided in the guide rails 38, so that the mold-holding part 20 is guided in a particularly precise and play-free manner. This is important for the quality of the finished articles manufactured.

Direkt neben dem Pressbereich 4 ist der Stapelbereich 5 angeordnet, dem die im Pressbereich 4 hergestellten Fertigartikel aufeinanderfolgend zugeführt und übereinander gestapelt werden. Der Stapelbereich 5 umfasst zweckmäßigerweise einen Fördertisch 34, auf dem die gestapelten Fertigartikel abgelegt und gestapelt werden. Der Fördertisch 34 ist vorzugsweise als Hubtisch ausgebildet, der aus einem angehobenen Zustand je nach der Größe bzw. Höhe des auf ihm angeordneten Stapels abgesenkt werden kann. Das Bedienungspersonal kann dann die auf dem Fördertisch anfallenden Stapel von diesem entfernen.The stacking area 5, to which the finished articles produced in the pressing area 4 are successively fed and stacked one above the other, is arranged directly next to the pressing area 4. The stacking area 5 expediently comprises a conveyor table 34 on which the stacked finished articles are deposited and stacked. The conveyor table 34 is preferably designed as a lifting table, which can be lowered from a raised state depending on the size or height of the stack arranged on it. The operating personnel can then remove the stacks accumulating on the conveyor table.

Unter dem Fördertisch 25 befindet sich vorzugsweise ein Abfallsammelbehälter 26, in dem der beim Pressvorgang im Pressbereich 4 jeweils aus dem bahnförmigen Material entstehende Abfall gesammelt wird. Dabei ist der Pressbereich 4 direkt über einen im Gestell 2 ausgebildeten Führungsschacht 32 mit dem Abfallsammelbehälter 26 verbunden. Im Führungsschacht 32 ist eine Düsenanordnung 33 vorgesehen, die eine Strömung erzeugt, die den Abfall aus dem Pressbereich 4 abzieht und in den Abfallsammelbehälter 26 drückt bzw. befördert. Vorzugsweise ist der Führungsschacht 32 L-förmig bzw. winkelig ausgebildet, wobei der eine Schenkelbereich 35 direkt ausgehend vom Pressbereich 4 horizontal zu einem Eckbereich 36 verläuft, in dem die Düsenanordnung 33 angeordnet ist. Ausgehend vom Eckbereich 36 verläuft der andere Schenkelbereich 37 abwärts über den Abfallsammelbehälter 26, sodass der von der Düsenanordnung 33 aus dem Pressbereich 4 über den ersten Schenkelbereich 35 abgesaugte Abfall über den Eckbereich 36 in den Schenkelbereich 37 und aus diesem in den Abfallsammelbehälter 26 befördert wird.Under the conveyor table 25 there is preferably a waste collection container 26, in which the waste produced during the pressing process in the pressing area 4 from the web-like material is collected. The pressing area 4 is connected directly to the waste collection container 26 via a guide shaft 32 formed in the frame 2. A nozzle arrangement 33 is provided in the guide shaft 32, which generates a flow that draws the waste out of the pressing area 4 and into the Waste collecting container 26 presses or transported. The guide shaft 32 is preferably L-shaped or angled, the one leg region 35 extending directly from the pressing region 4 horizontally to a corner region 36 in which the nozzle arrangement 33 is arranged. Starting from the corner region 36, the other leg region 37 runs downwards over the waste collecting container 26, so that the waste sucked out of the nozzle arrangement 33 from the pressing region 4 via the first leg region 35 is conveyed via the corner region 36 into the leg region 37 and from there into the waste collecting container 26.

Ein Vorteil der vorliegenden Einrichtung 1 besteht auch darin, dass beim Pressen der Fertigartikel vergleichsweise wenig Abfall entsteht, weil die Formteile 18, 19 und die Breite des bahnförmigen Materials 9 jeweils so aufeinander abgestimmt sein können, dass das Auspressen von Material sehr nahe bis zum Rand des bandförmigen Materials 9 erfolgen kann.Another advantage of the present device 1 is that comparatively little waste arises when the finished articles are pressed, because the shaped parts 18, 19 and the width of the sheet-like material 9 can each be coordinated with one another in such a way that the pressing of material is very close to the edge of the band-shaped material 9 can take place.

Unter dem unteren, ortsfesten Formhalteteil 27 befindet sich vorzugsweise ein Bereich, in dem die gesamte zur Steuerung der Einrichtung 1 erforderliche Elektronik untergebracht ist. Beispielsweise befindet sich diese Elektronik an einem Panel 28, das von außen her bequem zugänglich ist.Under the lower, stationary mold holding part 27 there is preferably an area in which all the electronics required for controlling the device 1 are accommodated. For example, this electronics is located on a panel 28 which is easily accessible from the outside.

Bei den mit der vorliegenden Einrichtung 1 hergestellten Fertigartikeln handelt es sich vorzugsweise um Schalenteile, die aus einer bahnförmigen vom Wickel 8 abgewickelten Aluminiumfolie hergestellt werden. Andere bahnförmige Materialien, wie zum Beispiel Kunststoffbahnen oder dergleichen sind denkbar.The finished articles produced with the present device 1 are preferably shell parts which are produced from a sheet-like aluminum foil unwound from the winding 8. Other sheet-like materials, such as plastic sheets or the like, are conceivable.
