Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes, wherein bristle tufts are filled into holes of molds, wherein initially the bristle tufts are formed from single bristles by a bristle supply is separated into bristle tufts, after which the bristles of the form in tufts with Help of a gas or air stream via individual, each receiving a bristle tufts supply lines and introduced into the perforations of the mold or a preform, wherein the gas or air flow is generated by means of negative pressure, the bristle tufts during their promotion at least temporarily additionally be acted upon in the conveying direction pressurized gas or compressed air.
  • the invention further relates to a device for producing bristle fields for brushes or bristle bundles for brushes, with a perforated shape or preform, in which holes each a bristle tuft fits, said supply lines are provided to the mold or preform and in particular to each hole to be filled at least one feed line leads, to which supply lines means for generating a gas or air flow to the mold or preform are connected, the mouths of the feed lines and the mold or preform relative are movable to each other and the mold or preform has a connection for applying a negative pressure to the individual perforations, wherein in the inlet region of the supply lines, a pressure source is provided or opens, which is connected to the supply lines or connectable.
  • Such a method and such a device are known from DE 39 20 769 C2 known. It is known from this document to promote the bristle tufts by means of compressed air and to reinforce this by negative pressure and complete.
  • the bristle tufts are injected by means of compressed air into the supply lines and accordingly is also the pressure source with the channels 36 in the conveying direction in front of the insertion openings 19 in these supply lines.
  • the bristle tufts are pushed apart by the overpressing pressure and / or the individual bristles are cut to length from their original orientation direction, so that faults can occur and not all bristles of a bristle tuft can reach the respective supply line.
  • the initially defined method provides that the bristle tufts are exposed at the beginning of the promotion and entering the supply lines only one prevailing in the supply lines vacuum and that an overpressure is generated or applied to the supply lines at the inlet region after the Bristle tufts have passed a section or an entry point for the overpressure.
  • the bristle tufts are thus first drawn into the supply line by means of negative pressure, without being able to be deflected by an additional overpressure with regard to their introduction movement.
  • the certainty that the individual bristles can enter into the respective supply lines as bristle tufts is achieved by this measure improved.
  • the bristle tufts can then be additionally exposed to the positive pressure after a targeted transport in the supply lines and accelerated with regard to their further conveying movement.
  • a further embodiment of the method according to the invention can provide that after filling the bristle tufts into the mold or a preform, the mouths of the supply lines are moved away from the mold or preform and the vacuum is switched off, in particular, and the overpressure is maintained completely or reduced for a remaining time obtained and the supply lines are blown.

  • bristles can be moved through the correspondingly clean and smooth supply lines during a next working cycle.
  • the overpressure used to assist the promotion of the bristle tufts may be changed during conveyance and the bristle tufts may be moved through the supply lines with an intermittent and / or pulsating flow of gas or air. This allows the flow velocity and thus the transport speed of the Tufts are changed during transport through the supply lines to prevent or possibly solve any jams or jamming in the supply lines.
  • an overpressure is applied, which has a greater difference than the negative pressure compared to the atmospheric pressure normal.
  • an overpressure may be used which is about twice as high as ten times higher than the negative pressure. The promotion of bristle tufts is supported accordingly well and accelerated compared to a promotion only with the help of negative pressure.
  • the bristle tufts are moved by means of a gas mixture, for example a mixture of air and another gas through the supply lines. It can therefore be used to support the promotion of a gas or gas mixture, which has better flow characteristics than air and, for example, at the same pressure difference has a higher flow velocity.
