Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Messerhalter für Schneidmaschinen, mit einem um eine Drehachse drehbar gelagerten Messerträger zur Halterung eines Messers, insbesondere zur Halterung eines Rundmessers, und einer Anstellvorrichtung für den Messerträger, wobei der Messerträger von der Anstellvorrichtung parallel zu der Drehachse zwischen einer Bereithaltestellung und einer Schneidstellung antreibbar ist.The present invention relates to a knife holder for cutting machines, with a knife carrier mounted so as to be rotatable about a rotation axis for holding a knife, in particular for holding a circular knife, and an adjusting device for the knife carrier, wherein the knife carrier can be driven by the adjusting device parallel to the rotation axis between a ready position and a cutting position.
Bei dem Messerhalter handelt es sich insbesondere um einen Messerhalter für eine Längsschneidemaschine, bei der eine Vielzahl von gleichartigen Messerhaltern an einer Traverse der Längsschneidemaschine befestigt sind. Zur Befestigung eines Messerhalters an der Traverse weist ein Gehäuse des Messerhalters eine Anbringungsvorrichtung auf, mit der der Messerhalter an der Traverse befestigt werden kann.The knife holder is in particular a knife holder for a longitudinal cutting machine in which a plurality of identical knife holders are attached to a crossbar of the longitudinal cutting machine. In order to attach a knife holder to the crossbar, a housing of the knife holder has an attachment device with which the knife holder can be attached to the crossbar.
In einer Ausführungsform kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Messerhalter eine Absenkvorrichtung umfasst, mit der ein den Messerträger aufweisender Messerkopf orthogonal zu der Drehachse des Messerträgers auf ein Gegenmesser zustellbar ist. Mit der Absenkvorrichtung kann der Messerkopf insbesondere in einer Absenkrichtung insbesondere auf mindestens ein Untermesser zu und fort bewegt werden. Es kann auch vorgesehen sein, dass der Messerhalter mehrere Messerköpfe mit jeweils einem Messerträger aufweist, die gemeinsamen mit genau einer Absenkungsvorrichtung auf mindestens ein Untermesser zustellbar sind, insbesondere kann jeder Messerkopf auf genau ein Untermesser zustellbar sein. In einer alternativen Ausführungsform kann der Messerträger in dem Gehäuse drehbar gelagert sein, so dass der Messerträger nicht orthogonal zu der Drehachse angestellt werden kann.In one embodiment, it can be provided that the knife holder comprises a lowering device with which a knife head having the knife carrier can be positioned orthogonally to the axis of rotation of the knife carrier onto a counter knife. With the lowering device, the knife head can be positioned in a lowering direction, in particular onto at least one Lower knives can be moved towards and away from each other. It can also be provided that the knife holder has several knife heads, each with a knife carrier, which can be adjusted together to at least one lower knife using exactly one lowering device, in particular each knife head can be adjusted to exactly one lower knife. In an alternative embodiment, the knife carrier can be rotatably mounted in the housing, so that the knife carrier cannot be adjusted orthogonally to the axis of rotation.
Mit der Anstellvorrichtung kann der Messerträger und somit ein von dem Messerträger getragenes Rundmesser parallel zu der Drehachse des Messerträgers und somit parallel zu der Drehachse des Rundmessers auf eine Schneidkante eines Gegenmessers zugestellt werden. Sofern der Messerhalter eine Absenkvorrichtung umfasst, kann in einer Ausführungsform vorgesehen sein, dass die Anstellvorrichtung Bestandteil des Messerkopfes ist, der von der Absenkvorrichtung orthogonal zu der Drehachse des Messerträgers auf das Gegenmesser zustellbar ist. Somit ist insbesondere eine geradlinige Antriebsrichtung der Anstellvorrichtung orthogonal zu der Absenkrichtung ausgerichtet. Mit der Anstellvorrichtung kann das Messer in seiner axialen Richtung also insbesondere geradlinig an eine Schneidkante eines Untermessers angestellt werden.With the positioning device, the knife carrier and thus a circular knife carried by the knife carrier can be positioned parallel to the axis of rotation of the knife carrier and thus parallel to the axis of rotation of the circular knife onto a cutting edge of a counter knife. If the knife holder comprises a lowering device, one embodiment can provide for the positioning device to be part of the knife head, which can be positioned orthogonally to the axis of rotation of the knife carrier onto the counter knife by the lowering device. In particular, a straight drive direction of the positioning device is thus aligned orthogonally to the lowering direction. With the positioning device, the knife can be positioned in its axial direction, i.e. in particular in a straight line, onto a cutting edge of a lower knife.
Aus dem Stand der Technik ist bekannt, dass der Messerträger und damit das Rundmesser sowohl orthogonal zu der Drehachse mittels der Absenkvorrichtung als auch parallel zu der Drehachse mittels der Anstellvorrichtung kraftgesteuert an ein Gegenmesser angestellt werden kann, wodurch während des Schneidvorgangs die Schnittkraft konstant gehalten werden kann. Insbesondere wenn die Absenkvorrichtung und/oder die Anstellvorrichtung pneumatisch betätigbar sind, kann es aber vorkommen, dass aufgrund weiterer Betriebskräfte das Messer während des Schneidvorgangs eine Ausweichbewegung ausführt.It is known from the prior art that the knife carrier and thus the circular knife can be force-controlled against a counter knife both orthogonally to the axis of rotation by means of the lowering device and parallel to the axis of rotation by means of the adjusting device, whereby the cutting force can be kept constant during the cutting process. In particular, if the lowering device and/or the However, since the adjustment device can be operated pneumatically, it can happen that the knife executes an evasive movement during the cutting process due to additional operating forces.
Aus der
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, die mit Bezug zum Stand der Technik geschilderten Nachteile zu beseitigen und insbesondere einen Messerhalter anzugeben, bei dem der Messerträger beziehungsweise das von dem Messerträger getragene Messer während des Schneidvorganges zuverlässig in der gewünschten Schnittposition gehalten wird.The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages described with reference to the prior art and in particular to provide a knife holder in which the knife carrier or the knife carried by the knife carrier is reliably held in the desired cutting position during the cutting process.
Eine Lösung für die Aufgabe ist mit dem Messerhalter mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs angegeben. Weitere Lösungen sowie vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen sowie in der vorstehenden und nachfolgenden Beschreibung angegeben, wobei einzelne Merkmale der vorteilhaften Weiterbildungen in technisch sinnvoller Weise miteinander kombinierbar sind.A solution to the problem is specified with the knife holder with the features of the independent claim. Further solutions and advantageous developments are specified in the dependent claims and in the above and following description, whereby individual features of the advantageous developments can be combined with one another in a technically reasonable manner.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe insbesondere durch einen Messerhalter mit den eingangs genannten Merkmalen, welcher eine Fixiervorrichtung umfasst, mit der der Messerträger in der Schneidstellung gegen eine Bewegung parallel zu der Drehachse insbesondere mechanisch fixierbar ist.The object is achieved in particular by a knife holder with the features mentioned at the outset, which comprises a fixing device with which the knife carrier can be fixed in the cutting position, in particular mechanically, against a movement parallel to the axis of rotation.
Mit anderen Worten: Die Erfindung sieht in ihrem Grundgedanken vor, dass der Messerhalter eine als Fixiervorrichtung bezeichnete Einrichtung umfasst, mit welcher der Messerträger in der Richtung, in der der Messerträger von der Anstellvorrichtung an ein Gegenmesser anstellbar ist, unabhängig von der Anstellvorrichtung festgesetzt werden kann. Der Messerhalter weist mit der Fixiervorrichtung also eine unabhängig von der Anstellvorrichtung und gegebenenfalls auch unabhängig von einer Absenkvorrichtung betätigbare Einheit auf, welche insbesondere zumindest indirekt auf ein Element der Anstellvorrichtung wirkt, so dass das Element der Anstellvorrichtung in einem Fixierzustand der Fixiervorrichtung in seiner Lage fixiert ist. Somit ist es möglich, dass der Messerträger mittels der Anstellvorrichtung parallel zu der Drehachse insbesondere kraftgesteuert in eine Schneidstellung überführbar ist, wobei der Messerträger in der Schneidstellung mittels der Fixiervorrichtung sicher festgelegt ist. Hierbei wird hingenommen, dass während des Schneidvorganges keine kraftgesteuerte Regelung der Schnittkraft möglich ist.In other words: The basic idea of the invention is that the knife holder comprises a device referred to as a fixing device, with which the knife carrier can be fixed in the direction in which the knife carrier can be adjusted by the adjusting device to a counter knife, independently of the adjusting device. The knife holder thus has a unit with the fixing device that can be operated independently of the adjusting device and possibly also independently of a lowering device, which in particular acts at least indirectly on an element of the adjusting device, so that the element of the adjusting device is fixed in its position in a fixing state of the fixing device. It is thus possible for the knife carrier to be transferred into a cutting position by means of the adjusting device parallel to the axis of rotation, in particular in a force-controlled manner, wherein the knife carrier is securely fixed in the cutting position by means of the fixing device. It is accepted here that no force-controlled regulation of the cutting force is possible during the cutting process.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform fixiert die Fixiervorrichtung den Messerträger kraft- und/oder formschlüssig in der Schneidstellung. Für eine formschlüssige Fixierung kann eine Hinterschnittgestaltung oder Ausnehmung vorgesehen sein, in die ein Element der Fixiervorrichtung eingreift, so dass das die Hinterschnittgestaltung oder die Ausnehmung aufweisende Bauelement nicht relativ zu dem Element der Fixiervorrichtung bewegbar ist. Die Hinterschnittgestaltung beziehungsweise die Ausnehmung kann insbesondere an einem Element der Anstellvorrichtung ausgebildet sein. Für eine kraftschlüssige Fixierung des Messerträgers kann mindestens ein Element der Fixiervorrichtung mit einer relativ großen Kraft auf ein mit dem Messerträger verbundenes Element wirken, so dass das Element von dem mindestens einem Element der Fixiervorrichtung eingeklemmt wird.In a preferred embodiment, the fixing device fixes the knife carrier in the cutting position with a force and/or form fit. For a form fit, an undercut design or recess can be provided, into which an element of the fixing device engages, so that the component having the undercut design or the recess cannot be moved relative to the element of the fixing device. The undercut design or the recess can be formed in particular on an element of the adjusting device. For a force fit of the knife carrier, at least one element of the fixing device can be pressed with a relatively large force onto a Knife carrier connected element so that the element is clamped by the at least one element of the fixing device.
Die Fixiervorrichtung kann insbesondere mechanisch, elektrisch, pneumatisch oder hydraulisch betätigbar sein. Die Fixiervorrichtung kann insbesondere mindestens ein Fixierelement (also genau ein Fixierelement oder mehrere Fixierelemente) umfassen, das zwischen einem Fixierzustand und einem gelösten Zustand überführbar ist, wobei in dem Fixierzustand der Messerhalter fixiert ist, während in dem gelösten Zustand der Messerhalter durch einen Antrieb der Anstellvorrichtung parallel zu der Drehachse bewegbar ist. Das mindestens eine im Fixierzustand kraft- und/oder formschlüssig mit einem weiteren Element zusammenwirkende Fixierelement kann beispielsweise mittels einer Feder vorgespannt sein und mittels eines elektrischen, pneumatischen oder hydraulischen Antriebs betätigbar sein. Hierbei kann vorgesehen sein, dass das mindestens eine Fixierelement mittels des Federelements in den Fixierzustand vorgespannt ist und mittels des Antriebs in den gelösten Zustand überführbar ist. Es kann alternativ aber auch vorgesehen sein, dass das mindestens eine Fixierelement mechanisch, elektrisch, pneumatisch oder hydraulisch in den Fixierzustand überführbar ist.The fixing device can in particular be actuated mechanically, electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically. The fixing device can in particular comprise at least one fixing element (i.e. exactly one fixing element or several fixing elements) which can be transferred between a fixed state and a released state, wherein in the fixed state the knife holder is fixed, while in the released state the knife holder can be moved parallel to the axis of rotation by a drive of the adjusting device. The at least one fixing element which in the fixed state interacts with another element in a force-locking and/or form-locking manner can, for example, be pre-tensioned by means of a spring and can be actuated by means of an electrical, pneumatic or hydraulic drive. In this case, it can be provided that the at least one fixing element is pre-tensioned into the fixed state by means of the spring element and can be transferred into the released state by means of the drive. Alternatively, it can also be provided that the at least one fixing element can be transferred into the fixed state mechanically, electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically.
Die Anstellvorrichtung zur Überführung des Messerträgers aus der Bereithaltestellung in die Schneidstellung und gegebenenfalls zurück kann einen Aktuator/einen Antrieb umfassen, welcher elektrisch, pneumatisch oder hydraulisch betätigbar ist.The adjusting device for transferring the knife carrier from the ready position to the cutting position and, if necessary, back can comprise an actuator/drive which can be operated electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically.
Im Falle einer pneumatischen Betätigung der Anstellvorrichtung kann die Anstellvorrichtung mindestens eine Membran umfassen, die zur Betätigung der Anstellvorrichtung pneumatisch beaufschlagbar ist. Insbesondere zwischen die zwei Membranen kann ein druckbeaufschlagtes Fluid, insbesondere Druckluft, einbringbar sein. Durch die Verwendung von zwei Membranen kann auf einfache Weise ein luftdicht abgeschlossener Raum zur Einleitung von Druckluft bereitgestellt werden.In the case of a pneumatic actuation of the adjusting device, the adjusting device can comprise at least one membrane which can be pneumatically actuated to actuate the adjusting device. In particular A pressurized fluid, in particular compressed air, can be introduced between the two membranes. By using two membranes, an airtight space for the introduction of compressed air can be easily provided.
Alternativ kann zur pneumatischen Betätigung vorgesehen sein, dass die Anstellvorrichtung einen Kolben aufweist, der direkt pneumatisch beaufschlagt wird. Der Kolben kann beispielsweise zur Anstellung in eine Richtung an einer Stirnseite mit Druckluft beaufschlagt werden. Es kann zudem vorgesehen sein, dass der Kolben mindestens einen ringförmigen, in radialer Richtung auskragenden Vorsprung aufweist, dessen axialen Stirnfläche zur Betätigung des Kolbens mit Druckluft beaufschlagt werden können. Insbesondere ist der pneumatisch betätigbare Kolben der weiter unten beschriebene Anstellkolben.Alternatively, for pneumatic actuation, the adjusting device can be provided with a piston that is directly pneumatically actuated. For example, the piston can be actuated with compressed air on one end face for adjustment in one direction. It can also be provided that the piston has at least one annular projection that projects in the radial direction, the axial end face of which can be actuated with compressed air to actuate the piston. In particular, the pneumatically actuated piston is the adjusting piston described below.
Zur Ausbildung eines elektrisch betätigbaren Aktuators kann ein Elektromotor vorgesehen sein, mittels dem der Messerträger elektromechanisch zwischen der Bereithaltestellung und der Schneidstellung parallel zu der Drehachse bewegbar ist. Bevorzugt ist der Elektromotor ein Schrittmotor.To form an electrically actuated actuator, an electric motor can be provided by means of which the knife carrier can be moved electromechanically between the ready position and the cutting position parallel to the axis of rotation. The electric motor is preferably a stepper motor.
Die Anstellvorrichtung kann insbesondere einen Anstellkolben umfassen, zu dem der Messerträger drehbar gelagert ist. Der Aktuator der Anstellvorrichtung wirkt indirekt oder direkt auf den Anstellkolben, um den Messerträger zwischen der Schneidstellung und der Bereithaltestellung zu bewegen. Der Anstellkolben umfasst insbesondere einen Lagerabschnitt, mit dem der Anstellkolben in einer hülsenförmigen Lagerung in Richtung beziehungsweise parallel zu der Drehachse linear verschiebbar gelagert ist.The adjusting device can in particular comprise an adjusting piston, relative to which the knife carrier is rotatably mounted. The actuator of the adjusting device acts indirectly or directly on the adjusting piston in order to move the knife carrier between the cutting position and the ready position. The adjusting piston in particular comprises a bearing section with which the adjusting piston is mounted in a sleeve-shaped bearing so as to be linearly displaceable in the direction or parallel to the axis of rotation.
Während der Überführung des Messerträgers von der Bereithaltestellung in die Schneidstellung wird der Anstellkolben also linear in der hülsenförmigen Lagerung verschoben. Die hülsenförmige Lagerung ist insbesondere Bestandteil des Messerkopfes, so dass die hülsenförmige Lagerung und die Anstellvorrichtung durch die Absenkvorrichtung orthogonal zu der Drehachse des Messerträgers bewegbar sind.During the transfer of the knife carrier from the ready position to the cutting position, the adjusting piston is moved linearly in the sleeve-shaped bearing. The sleeve-shaped bearing is in particular a component of the knife head, so that the sleeve-shaped bearing and the adjusting device can be moved orthogonally to the axis of rotation of the knife carrier by the lowering device.
Es kann nun vorgesehen sein, dass die Fixiervorrichtung unmittelbar mechanisch auf den Anstellkolben wirkt. Insbesondere wenn der Aktuator der Anstellvorrichtung pneumatisch betätigbar ist, kann die Fixiervorrichtung auf einen konzentrisch zu dem in der hülsenförmigen Lagerung angeordneten Lagerabschnitt ausgebildeten Abschnitt des Anstellkolbens wirken. So kann der Anstellkolben einen Abschnitt aufweisen, der sowohl in der Bereithaltestellung als auch in der Schneidstellung über die hülsenförmige Lagerung hinaussteht, wobei die Fixiervorrichtung in diesem überstehenden Abschnitt auf den Anstellkolben wirken kann.It can now be provided that the fixing device acts directly mechanically on the adjusting piston. In particular, if the actuator of the adjusting device can be actuated pneumatically, the fixing device can act on a section of the adjusting piston that is designed concentrically to the bearing section arranged in the sleeve-shaped bearing. The adjusting piston can thus have a section that protrudes beyond the sleeve-shaped bearing both in the ready position and in the cutting position, whereby the fixing device can act on the adjusting piston in this protruding section.
Insbesondere wenn die Anstellvorrichtung einen elektromotorischen Antrieb umfasst, kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Anstellkolben einen Fixierabschnitt umfasst, welcher zu dem Lagerabschnitt in radialer Richtung versetzt ist, wobei die Fixiervorrichtung auf den Fixierabschnitt wirkt. In diesem Fall kann insbesondere vorgesehen sein, dass der Aktor der Anstellvorrichtung in axialer Verlängerung des Lagerabschnitts des Anstellkolbens angeordnet ist und der insbesondere einteilig mit dem Lagerabschnitt ausgebildete Fixierabschnitt radial versetzt zu dem Lagerabschnitt angeordnet ist. Der Fixiertabschnitt kann dabei außerhalb der hülsenförmige Lagerung angeordnet sein. Somit können der Antrieb der Anstellvorrichtung und die Fixiervorrichtung in radialer Richtung des Lagerabschnitts versetzt zueinander angeordnet sein. In diesem Zusammenhang ist insbesondere vorgesehen, dass sowohl der Aktuator der Anstellvorrichtung als auch die Fixiervorrichtung unbeweglich mit der hülsenförmigen Lagerung für den Lagerabschnitt des Anstellkolbens verbunden sind, so dass der Anstellkolben durch den Aktuator in das Lager bewegt werden kann, und der Anstellkolben durch die Fixiervorrichtung fixiert werden kann.In particular, if the adjusting device comprises an electric motor drive, it can be provided that the adjusting piston comprises a fixing section which is offset in the radial direction from the bearing section, wherein the fixing device acts on the fixing section. In this case, it can be provided in particular that the actuator of the adjusting device is arranged in the axial extension of the bearing section of the adjusting piston and the fixing section, which is in particular formed in one piece with the bearing section, is arranged radially offset from the bearing section. The fixing section can be arranged outside the sleeve-shaped bearing. The drive of the adjusting device and the fixing device can thus be offset in the radial direction of the bearing section. to each other. In this context, it is particularly provided that both the actuator of the adjusting device and the fixing device are immovably connected to the sleeve-shaped bearing for the bearing section of the adjusting piston, so that the adjusting piston can be moved into the bearing by the actuator and the adjusting piston can be fixed by the fixing device.

Während des Schneidvorgangs kann sich somit der Messerträger 2 nicht parallel zu der Drehachse 4 bewegen, wodurch auch auf den Aktuator 6 wirkende Kräfte während des Schneidvorgangs reduziert werden.This makes it possible for the
