Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the continuous production of corrugated, metallic Ridge and ridge sealing strips, the one to be placed on the ridge or ridge slat Median strips, perforated ventilation strips and have adjoining edge strips by a metal strip from a reel subtracted and between two transverse to the direction of travel over at least the width of the metal strip extending form rollers for molding the shafts and the metal strip in the area of the ventilation strips by means of multiple tools with a large number of ventilation openings of small cross-section are
  • Ridge and ridge sealing strips of the aforementioned type are rolled up on site used. Before the cover caps of the roof covering are put on, the roller is attached placed on the median strip on the ridge or ridge battens and along them unrolled.
  • the ventilation strips adjoining the median strips serve on both sides with their perforation for ventilation of the roof space and are with their edge strips that are provided with traces of adhesive, attached to the roof panels.
  • the perforation should be designed so that that flying snow and water cannot penetrate into the attic.
  • ridge and ridge sealing strips are particularly advantageous Metal, e.g. Aluminum, copper, zinc, lead or the like, which are absolutely weatherproof and have a long service life.
  • Such sealing strips have also been found proven, which are corrugated or pleated transverse to their longitudinal extent.
  • Ridge and ridge sealing strips made of metal have so far been produced in such a way that the metal tape housed on a reel is peeled off and initially by means of the ventilation openings in the two ventilation strips be punched out. Then it goes through with the ventilation openings
  • Metal band provided a pair of form rollers which form the shaft. After that traces of adhesive are applied along the edge strips and these are then applied by a peelable strip material, e.g. a strip of paper, covered. Finally the metal strip assembled in this way is wound on a spool.
  • the object of the invention is the method mentioned at the beginning further develop performance and propose a device that with much higher performance than the known device works.
  • the object is achieved in that in the running direction the metal band through the ventilation openings after shaping the shaft machining of the wave crests, in particular by means of rotating Cutting tools such as saws or milling cutters are manufactured.
  • a large number of disk-shaped cutting tools are known today work at high speeds with a long service life. Allow such cutting tools in connection with the measure, the ventilation openings in the area of the wave crests in a continuous process to produce a high working speed that is almost in the area of the working speed during plastic forming using the forming rollers lies.
  • the performance can at least tripled. This results in a reduction in manufacturing costs and compared the separate way of working reduces the set-up, working and handling times.
  • the entire production takes place in a single pass from the raw material to the end product.
  • the functional reliability compared to punching is included the heavily used and therefore often failing stamps elevated. Downtime is reduced by around 90%.
  • the ventilation openings are in the form of slots educated. This shape allows the formation of relatively large cross sections Compliance with the roof ventilation regulations according to DIN 4108, paragraph 3, at the same time narrow slot width, what the tightness against flying snow and driving rain (Surface tension) is significant.
  • the ventilation holes can be cut by machining or by Counter-rotating machining can be produced.
  • the ventilation holes are parallel Saw cuts generated.
  • the invention proceeds from a known device consisting of a device for feeding a Metal strip, for example a reel with the wound metal strip, and a pair of intermeshing arranged behind it in the running direction Forming rollers for shaping the shafts and with at least two groups of There are multiple tools for machining the ventilation openings.
  • This known device is further developed according to the invention in that the two groups of multiple tools in the running direction behind the form rollers are arranged and consist of revolving cutting tool sets, which with respect of the incoming, corrugated band are arranged at such a height that they remove one or more chips from the wave crests with a thickness that is at least little is greater than the tape thickness.
  • the device according to the invention thus works in a continuous process with a Molding station with the forming rollers and a processing station with the cutting tools.
  • the individual cutting tools of the Tool sets each create a cut on the wave crests, the Depth of cut is greater than the band thickness, so that an opening is formed.
  • Their breadth is determined by the width of the cutting tools, while their length is from the Infeed or the immersion depth in the wave crests.
  • the possible stretchability of the metal strip depends on the wave height Longitudinal direction, i.e. the adaptability to roof tiles.
  • a larger wave height of the metal strip of, for example, 5 mm is necessary at slightly corrugated roof tiles can have a corrugation height of the metal band
  • 1.5 mm is sufficient, a good intermediate value is allowed
  • the wave height of the metal strip must be 3 mm.
  • the rotating cutting tools are preferably in relation to the incoming, corrugated band so far that in the area of the crests Slit-like ventilation openings extending in the direction of travel are created.
  • the slot length is determined exclusively by the delivery of the cutting tools can also be varied if necessary.
  • the cutting wheels can be used as circular saw blades, disc milling cutters or as clearing wheels be trained. The selection depends, among other things, on the desired one Working speed, punching time and the metal material to be processed.
  • the two are expediently next to one another transversely to the running direction arranged groups of cutting tools on a common drive shaft arranged, this drive shaft with that of the second group via a Reverse drive can be driven synchronously with speed.
  • a counter-pressure roller is assigned which the metal strip in the area between supports the cutting tools.
  • This counter-pressure roller can, for example have grooves around their circumference relative to the cutting tools.
  • the counter-pressure roller which may also be formed in two parts and one each Cutting tool groups assigned can also serve as a transport roller. She is then advantageously driven synchronously with the forming rollers, while the Cutting tools at least the first group driven at a higher speed are.
  • each group consists of ten to eighteen Cutting tools so that each ventilation strip is parallel with ten to eighteen Rows of ventilation slots is provided.
  • the cutting width of the cutting tools is preferably between 0.5 and 1.5 mm, which in turn determines the slot width.
  • the slot length can be adjusted in that the cutting tools with respect to the Metal strip are adjustable so far that the ventilation slots generated a length have from 1.0 to 4.5 mm.
  • the Forming rollers at the transitions from the central strip to the two ventilation strips Beading profiles for inserting at least two longitudinal bending beads has, the forming roller preferably on both sides of the central strip has at least two spaced bead profiles.
  • the form rollers are exchangeable on the drive shaft arranged so that they can be replaced when worn or with form rollers another profile can be exchanged.
  • the cutting tool sets preferably consist of sets arranged in sets Tool disks that can be replaced individually or in groups on their drive shaft are arranged. This means that individual tool disks can become worn exchanged or the entire tool disc set for a set of others Working width can be replaced.
  • the counter-pressure roller can also be replaced on its drive shaft be exchangeable for counter pressure rollers with a different spacing of the circumferential grooves.
  • the metal band is on at its longitudinal edges Shoes 23, 23 'guided on an adjusting spindle 24 to vary the bandwidth are stored. Such guide shoes can be along the running direction of the belt be arranged in several places.
  • the incoming metal strip 1 becomes a ridge and Burr sealing strip I 'made with the transverse to its longitudinal extent a wave profile 11 is provided. It has a median strip 7 for resting on the Ridge lath on. On both sides of the median strip 7 there are two at a distance from one another Bending beads 3, 4 or 3 ', 4' arranged, which have a tolerance range 8, 8 'between them leave to allow adaptation to ridge battens of different widths.
  • the incoming metal strip 1 first passes between two forming rolls 2, 2 ' circulate synchronously and also serve as transport rollers. They point to theirs Sheath an axially parallel, gear-like profile, by means of which the shafts 11 in the Metal sheet can be molded. Both sides of the center strip 7 have the shape roll 2, 2 'bead profiles 5, 6 or 5', 6 'onto the bending beads 3, 4 or 3', 4 ' mold.
  • the ventilation openings 12 'in the form of slots by machining produce In the running direction behind the forming rolls 2, 2 'are - in the embodiment shown below the corrugated metal band - two groups of rotating ones Cutting tools 15, 15 'arranged on a common drive shaft 14, the ventilation openings 12 'in the form of slots by machining produce.
  • the cutting tools only attack in the area of the wave crests, the slot length being determined by the feed path of the cutting tools 15, 15 ' can vary.
  • the width of the vents 12 is determined by the width of the individual Cutting tool determined.
  • the first group of cutting tools 15, 15 ' is a counter pressure roller 27 assigned, whose profile 28 (FIG. 4) essentially that of the shaping rolls 2, 2 ' corresponds and which is driven synchronously with the forming rollers. With this profile the wave crests are supported between the cutting tools.
  • the platen 27 In the field of Cutting tools themselves is the platen 27 either shortened Provide profile height 29 (Fig. 3) or circumferential grooves into which the cutting tools 15, 15 ' can intervene.
  • the disk-shaped tools 15, 15 'and 17, 17' of the two groups of Cutting tool sets can be used as circular saw blades, disc cutters or Be clearing discs.
  • 2 shows, the cutting tool 15 work, 15 'of the first group in the opposite direction by the drive shaft 14 against the Direction of rotation of the metal strip rotates while the cutting tools 17, 17 ' work in sync with the two groups behind. That way the burrs 13 formed during processing by the first group from the second Removed group of cutting tools so that burr-free, slit-like Ventilation openings 12, 12 'can be obtained.
