Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a splitting machine provided with a cooling device.
  • splitting machines operate in such a manner as to obtain semifinished products of leather, hide and similar material, and more particularly operate by equalising or dividing a given "raw” piece of hide into two semifinished pieces of smaller thickness (or into two pieces one of which will be a "finished piece” and the other "waste material").
  • separation of the hide piece is carried out by making the hide piece move forward towards a cutting station consisting of a belt blade, driven in transverse motion relative to the hide advancing direction, and operating in co-operation with a counter-blade (also known in the particular technical field as "thickness ruler") of a wedge-shaped or cylindrical section.
  • the splitting machine blade must always be perfectly aligned and must not suffer from oscillations and/or movements out of the cutting plane; to this end, the blade is usually caused to slide through two guides (currently referred to as “blade guides”) usually retained by steel or cast iron plates which in turn rest on the blade itself, almost always by gravity.
  • blade guides usually retained by steel or cast iron plates which in turn rest on the blade itself, almost always by gravity.
  • the movable blade is then submitted, during the machine operation, to a continuous slight rubbing on the flywheels that drive it in motion, and it also continuously carries out a slight-rubbing motion in the blade guide (and in conclusion it is submitted to important sliding-friction stresses).
  • the weight intensity of the blade guides resting on the movable blade, the type of material to be split (leather, thin hide, crocodile and so on) and the climatic conditions give rise to heating of the movable blade and the blade-guide plate assembly to such an extent that temperatures as high as more than 50°C can be reached.
  • the driving speed of the movable blade and the above described friction/pressure values of the hide piece under working generate an important amount of heat that spreads within the movable blade and the blade guide, causing thermal expansions that are detrimental to the cut accuracy/precision.
  • a (fixed or movable) blade when heated to such a high degree, easily loses its cutting capacity and is subjected to triggering of structural cracks that can cause breaking of the blade itself.
  • the high temperatures can also damage the blade guides worsening the relative smoothness of same and therefore producing a quicker wear of the movable blade sliding therethrough.
  • the more the blade guides are subjected to high operating temperatures the quicker they are worn out (and also the higher their cost is).
  • overheating of the cutting station may constitute a hinder also from the point of view of safety and comfort for the operator of the splitting machine, who must manually move the hide piece being worked close to the cutting station and can therefore suffer from the high heat (or can even get burnt, coming into contact with the blade, guide blade and thickness ruler):
  • the plate region (and more particularly the upper plate region) is the one also acted upon by the operator; the high temperatures obviously do not facilitate the operator's manoeuvring and make the workplace conditions and microclimate worse.
  • the present invention aims at conceiving a cooling device enabling the temperature of the blade guide and/or the movable blade to be lowered without the accuracy of the cutting action and the operation of the assembly for actuation of the movable blade being impaired.
  • the present invention also aims at conceiving a device enabling an operator to move close to the machine more safely, without suffering from the effects of heat generated during leather working and without running the risk of being accidentally burnt.
  • a splitting machine in accordance with the present invention, which has the features recited in the appended claims and hereinafter illustrated in an embodiment thereof given by way of non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figs. 1 and 2 show diagrammatic views of two possible embodiments of splitting machines including the device being the object of the invention.
  • the splitting machine in accordance with the invention is generally identified with reference numeral 1 and substantially comprises a cutting station conveniently dedicated to receiving a hide piece to be worked and to division of same into thinner semifinished products.
  • a cooling device for splitting machines which in turn comprises heat removing means operatively associable with at least said cutting station; within the scope of the invention, the heat removing means operates by conduction.
  • a cutting station of a splitting machine can be advantageously provided with a device enabling the heat generated during use of the machine to be "picked up" and dispersed in the surrounding environment, preferably where it has no influence on the operator.
  • the heat-removal modalities are based on heat transportation by conduction, because the heat generated during movement of the blade and cutting of the hide is transmitted to solid elements that usually consist of materials promoting conduction; therefore, it will be possible to remove heat in a "direct” or “indirect” manner from the operating blade since the latter absorbs the generated heat and in turn transmits it to the pieces or parts on which it is mounted or which it contacts.
  • direct removal of heat it is intended a thermal flux directly moving away from the objects to be cooled (first from the blade but also from the blade guide and/or the support means, as detailed below), which thermal flux takes place directly from the blade to the cooling device (i.e. without intermediate thermal masses through which the thermal energy is caused to flow).
  • the heat removing means can therefore either “directly” cool the blade (picking up heat and dissipating it without conduction paths concerning other pieces or parts of the machine) or “indirectly” cool the blade and/or the blade guide and/or the supports (picking up heat from a piece that is not directly the blade, but is in contact with the blade or in turn is in contact with one or more other pieces interposed between the blade and the heat removing means).
  • the heat removing means comprises a thermal-energy carrier in a liquid state and a movement circuit adapted to contain this thermal-energy carrier.
  • the thermal-energy carrier is caused to flow through suitable driving means (a pump for example) and the parameters of this circulation (such as pressure, flow rate, residence time in suitable circuit areas, thermal features of the carrier itself) are established based on current requirements; from an operating point of view, the driving means is therefore interlocked with the movement circuit to move the thermal-energy carrier in a reversible manner between a thermal-energy picking-up station 2 and a dissipation station 3.
  • suitable driving means a pump for example
  • the parameters of this circulation such as pressure, flow rate, residence time in suitable circuit areas, thermal features of the carrier itself
  • the movement circuit is formally divided into a thermal-energy picking-up station 2 (that in accordance with the present invention can be positioned near and/or in close proximity with pieces or parts of the splitting machine) and a dissipation station 3 connected in circuit to the thermal-energy picking-up station 2 and adapted to eliminate the heat stored by the thermal-energy carrier.
  • the pieces or parts close to which the thermal-energy picking-up station 2 can be positioned/mounted can advantageously consist of a thickness ruler and/or a movable blade (that typically is adapted to co-operate with the just mentioned thickness ruler to split at least one hide piece), and/or of one or more blade guides operatively active at least on the movable blade, and/or of suitable support means (flywheels, plates, blocks, kinematic mechanisms, linkages or others) for the thickness ruler, blade guides and movable blade.
  • suitable support means for the thickness ruler, blade guides and movable blade.
  • the thermal-energy picking-up station 2 can be positioned near and/or in close proximity with the pieces or parts of the splitting machine from which the heat generated during sliding/rubbing of the movable blade on the different blade guides (and/or during splitting of the hide pieces) will be eliminated (through heat exchange by conduction), said parts or pieces in turn having received said heat by conduction.
  • thermal-energy picking-up stations 2 one of which is such positioned that it removes heat from the movable blade and/or the lower guide of the movable blade (lower blade guide), and the other is such positioned that it removes heat from the upper guide of the movable blade (upper blade guide), and both stations 2 can also pick up thermal energy from the supports of said pieces.
  • thermo-energy removing means could also utilise natural or forced convection and/or radiation to remove heat from the surfaces of the pieces or parts that are intended to be cooled.
  • At least the thermal-energy picking-up station 2 can be at least partly formed inside predetermined pieces or parts of the splitting machine; in particular the most appropriate "pieces or parts" to this end can preferably be the so-called upper or lower "plate assemblies" and/or one or more blade guides and/or the movable blade itself.
  • the just described architecture can be obtained through suitable channels formed within the mentioned pieces or parts; therefore the thermal-energy carrier will be caused to flow within these pieces or parts and the required conductive thermal exchange will be carried out.
  • this splitting machine 1 further comprises cooling means acting by heat conduction and operatively associated with the thickness ruler and/or one or more blade guides and/or the movable blade and/or the support means.
  • this cooling means acting by heat conduction defines a cooling device in accordance with the above description and/or with the following claims; in particular, the cooling means and/or the thermal-energy picking-up station 2 can be formed within at least one thickness ruler and/or one or more blade guides and/or the support means.
  • the dissipation station 3 is positioned internally of a machine body of the splitting machine 1; this can be the case when a machine is made expressly and a suitable inner space for the dissipation station 3 has been provided which can consist of a refrigerating unit and/or a heat exchanger or equivalent means.
  • the dissipation station 3 may also be positioned externally of said machine body of the splitting machine 1; this may occur for example when the cooling device is mounted on an already existing machine that therefore is not provided with appropriate inner spaces. In this case it will be obviously also necessary to take into account the suitable positioning of the thermal-energy picking-up station 2 that can for example consist of suitable pipe coils inside which the thermal-energy carrier flows and which are put into contact with the pieces or parts to be cooled, and also provided must be the suitable circuit for the carrier that through appropriate piping must reach the dissipation station 3.
  • the invention enables achievement of important advantages.
  • the particular construction architecture of the cooling device enables efficient removal, through conduction, of the excess heat both from the blade and from the machine pieces co-operating with the blade (such as blade guides and/or supports for the blade guides).
  • Heat removal by conduction further enables the cooling device to be easily integrated into a splitting machine, even in the case of an already existing machine, of which it improves the performance both in terms of quality of the cutting operation and in terms of duration of the different pieces submitted to wear.
  • the reduction in temperature of the pieces appearing in the cutting station not only enables improvement of the machinery performance, but also the operators' work conditions are improved; in particular, the likelihood of burns on the operators are reduced and the microclimate around the machinery is improved, so that the operators' life becomes more comfortable and they are no longer subjected to too much perspiration.
  • the present invention enables semifinished products of better quality to be obtained both as regards accuracy in cutting and absence of contamination by the operator's sweat.
  • the present invention can be advantageously employed in different production fields in which operation of a splitting machine is required, such as the shoe sector, leather and hide sector, tan sector, and also in the furniture manufacturing field (sofas, chairs, armchairs and the like made of leather), and so on.
