Description

Field of the Invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a brush filament planting machine having an implanting tool which includes a tool slide axially movable between an initial position and an implanting position relative to the implanting direction and a pushing tongue axially movable in the tool slide along the implanting direction, by means of which a brush filament bundle can be implanted together with a fixing anchor into a bundle hole of a brush filament carrier, in particular a brush body. Background Art

[0002] Especially for brushes in which the bundle holes are very close to each other or have a rectangular or polygonal cross-section, it may be necessary to implant the fixing anchors for fixing the brush filament bundles in the bundle holes in different rotational orientations (so-called anchoring positions) in order to avoid collisions between the fixing anchors and to ensure reliable anchoring of the brush filament bundles in the material of the brush filament carrier.

[0003] In a known and proven solution in practice, for this purpose, the brush filament carrier to which the brush filaments are to be implanted is rotated relative to the implanting tool. However, in order to achieve a sufficiently high processing accuracy, relatively high correction values must be taken into account when rotating the brush in the X-Y plane oriented transversely to the implanting direction. This is relatively costly.

[0004] A brush filament planting machine is known from the published document DE 10 2017 111 136 A1 for implanting a brush filament bundle into a bundle hole of a brush filament carrier, the brush filament planting machine having an implanting tool and a slide guide rail, the implanting tool including a movable tool slide and a pushing tongue axially movable therein for implanting the brush filament bundle. The tool slide is axially movable in the slide guide rail and is rotatably supported about its longitudinal axis in order to fix the brush filament bundle with fixing anchors oriented in different rotational orientations in the bundle hole. The known brush filament planting machines each have a deflecting lever and a position-variable guide chute, wherein the deflecting lever is directly connected to the tool slide and is guided in the guide chute. By changing the position of the guide chute, the tool slide can be rotated about its longitudinal axis. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a brush filament planting machine of the type described at the beginning, which is an alternative to the brush filament planting machines known in current practice and simplifies the manufacture of implantable brushes with the desired anchoring positions.

[0006] To solve this task, a brush filament planting machine with the features of claim 1 is proposed. Thus, to solve this task, a brush filament planting machine with an implanting tool is proposed, the implanting tool including a tool slide that is axially movable between an initial position and an implanting position relative to the implanting direction and a pushing tongue that is axially movable in the tool slide along the implanting direction. By means of the pushing tongue, a brush filament bundle can be implanted together with a fixing anchor into a bundle hole of a brush filament carrier, in particular a brush body. The brush filament planting machine has a control lever and a control chute with a control section for generating a forced-guided rotational movement of the tool slide and implanting the fixing anchor into the brush filament carrier in a desired anchoring position. The control section has a course different from the implanting direction and is arranged such that the control lever is guided in the control section only when the tool slide reaches a certain intermediate position between its initial position and its implanting position during its movement towards the implanting position.

[0007] Thus, only when the tool slide reaches the intermediate position between the initial position and the implanting position on the brush filament carrier and the control lever enters the control section of the control chute, will the forced rotational movement of the tool slide caused by the position of the control section of the control chute be initiated. Thus, the initiation of the rotational movement is delayed and not immediately initiated when the tool slide moves from its initial position towards its implanting position. In addition, there is no need to change the position of the control chute to rotate the tool slide. This is provided for in the brush filament planting machine known from the published document DE 10 2017 111 136 A1. The control chute of the brush filament planting machine according to the invention can have its control section fixed and held fixed in a relative position corresponding to the desired anchoring position relative to the tool slide. Then, the delayed, forced-guided rotation of the tool slide occurs through the movement of the tool slide from the intermediate position towards the implanting position and due to the position and course of the control section.

[0008] The control section of the control chute can be arranged at the intermediate position between the initial position and the implanting position of the tool slide or between the intermediate position and the implanting position.

[0009] In addition to the control section, the control chute can also have a straight guiding section oriented along the implanting direction, and the straight guiding section is upstream of the control section in the implanting direction. The control section can have a course different from that of the straight guiding section. When the control lever is guided in the straight guiding section, if the tool slide approaches its implanting position in the implanting direction, the control chute will not cause a forced-guided rotation of the tool slide. This only occurs when the control lever enters the control section and the tool slide continues to move in the implanting direction.

[0010] By controlling the run of the control section that is different from the implantation direction, the control rod is laterally deflected when entering the control section and causes the forced rotation of the tool slide.

[0011] Preferably, the control rod is connected to the tool slide. Due to the connection between the control rod and the tool slide, the lateral deflection of the control rod can subsequently be converted into the rotation of the tool slide. Thus, the control chute can forcibly guide the tool slide in a simple and at the same time stable manner so as to fix the bristle bundle with the fixing anchor oriented at the desired anchoring position in the bundle hole.

[0012] The interaction of the straight guide section and the control section with a different run therefrom results in that when the tool slide moves from the initial position to the implantation position, the rotation of the tool slide does not start immediately but is delayed. The straight guide section can facilitate the precise linear guidance of the tool slide during its movement from the initial position to the intermediate position. As long as the control rod is still arranged in the straight guide section of the control chute, the tool slide will not rotate, which can simplify the operation of feeding the fixing anchor onto the tool slide, for example.

[0013] The delayed start of the rotation of the tool slide caused by the control chute and its control section can also be beneficial for precisely cutting the fixing anchor from the anchoring wire, which will be described in further detail below.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the control chute, its control section has a curved run. The run of the control section can be selected such that the deeper the control rod enters the control section of the guide chute in the implantation direction, the greater the rotation angle of the tool slide.

[0015] The rotation angle of the tool slide in the implantation position can depend on the run of the control section and / or the position of the control rod in the control section of the control chute when the tool slide is in the implantation position. By the corresponding arrangement of the control chute relative to the tool slide or the control rod, or by the corresponding configuration and orientation of the control section of the control chute, the rotation angle by which the tool slide rotates during its movement from the intermediate position to the implantation position can be specified, as well as the anchoring position subsequently occupied by the fixing anchor in the bristle carrier.

[0016] Therefore, the run of the control section of the control chute and / or the specific arrangement of the control chute relative to the tool slide can determine the rotation angle by which the tool slide rotates in the implantation position relative to its initial position. Thereby, the control section of the control chute determines the rotation position of the tool slide in the implantation position and thus also determines the anchoring position of the fixing anchor in the bundle hole.

[0017] The tool slide can be rotatably supported about a rotational axis oriented in the implantation direction. For this purpose, the brush bristle implanting machine can have a slide guide, in which the tool slide is axially movable and rotatably supported relative to the implantation direction. Thereby, the tool slide can first be moved from the initial position to an intermediate position by a linear movement in the slide guide in the implantation direction. There, the control rod enters a control section of the control chute. When the tool slide is further linearly moved towards the implantation position, a forced rotation is caused, and the linear movement of the tool slide towards the implantation position is superimposed by a rotational movement.

[0018] The control chute can be position-variable in order to preferably adjust steplessly the rotational angle by which the tool slide rotates through the control chute and during its movement towards the implantation position. In particular, for this purpose, the control chute can be position-variable, preferably steplessly position-variable, fixed to the machine frame of the brush bristle implanting machine, in particular fixed to the slide guide.

[0019] The brush bristle implanting machine can in particular have a linear guide on the tool slide, along which the control chute is preferably steplessly linearly movable relative to the tool slide in order to change its position.

[0020] The control rod can be oriented transversely or perpendicularly to the implantation direction and / or arranged on the outside of the tool slide. In this way, the control rod can also move relative to the control chute by the movement of the tool slide, and hereby move through the control section and, if necessary, through the straight guide section mentioned above, which can be located upstream of the control section.

[0021] The brush bristle implanting machine can have a wire cutting device. The wire cutting device can preferably be arranged between the initial position and a defined intermediate position of the tool slide. The wire cutting device can include a wire knife and / or a wire guiding device. The tool slide can have a mating knife corresponding to the wire knife. With the wire knife and the mating knife on the tool slide, the fixing anchor can be cut off from the anchoring wire conveyed through the wire guiding device and conveyed to the tool slide.

[0022] For a reliable and precise cutting of the anchoring wire, it can be advantageous when the opposing end faces of the mating knife and the wire knife and / or the wire guiding device are oriented parallel to each other. Furthermore, when the wire knife and / or the mating knife each have a wedge angle of 90°, this can also be advantageous for the service life of the mating knife and / or the wire knife and for the setting of the wire cutting device.

[0023] When the wire knife and the mating knife have a wedge angle of 90°, this can significantly simplify the setting and installation of the wire knife and the mating knife.

[0024] The wire cutting device can have a cutting drive, which in particular has a stroke unit for performing the cutting movement of the wire knife. In such an embodiment of the brush implanting machine, the wire knife can be conveyed towards a fixed mating knife of the tool slide in order to separate a fixed anchor from the conveyed anchoring wire.

[0025] The brush implanting machine can also have a support device for stabilizing the tool slide when separating the fixed anchor.

[0026] The forces generated when separating the fixed anchor from the anchoring wire (these forces are transmitted from the movable wire knife through the anchoring wire to the mating knife and further to the tool slide) can be led out through the support device. This can protect the tool slide from damage and facilitate the precise separation of the fixed anchor from the anchoring wire.

[0027] In one embodiment of the brush implanting machine, the support device has a support on the tool slide and a counter support. The counter support can be arranged or configured, for example, on the frame of the brush implanting machine, or can also be arranged or configured on the slide guide of the implanting tool. When separating the fixed anchor, the support can be supported on the counter support. In this way, the reaction force generated when cutting the anchoring wire can be transmitted from the support constructed on the tool slide to the counter support and led out from the counter support, for example, through the slide guide and the frame of the brush implanting machine.

[0028] The distance of the control section of the control chute to the initial position can correspond to the distance between the initial position and the intermediate position. The distance traveled by the control rod before reaching the control section during the movement of the tool slide from the initial position to the intermediate position can correspond to the distance between the initial position and the intermediate position.

[0029] The length of the straight guiding section of the control chute can be at least as large as the distance between the initial position of the tool slide and the determined intermediate position, and preferably greater than this distance.

[0030] The length of the straight guiding section of the control chute can be at least as large as the distance traveled by the tool slide between its initial position and an intermediate position downstream in the implanting direction, in which the mating knife on the tool slide has passed the wire knife of the wire cutting device in the implanting direction, and / or in which the support on the tool slide has passed the counter support in the implanting direction.

[0031] In this way, it is ensured that when the tool slide moves towards the implanting position, it first moves only linearly and does not rotate.

[0032] In this way, rotation of the tool carriage can be avoided before using the wire cutting device, so that the wire cutting process and the process of feeding the anchoring wire or the fixed anchor separated from the anchoring wire onto the implantation tool can proceed without problems caused by rotation. Then, when the mating knife on the tool carriage has passed the wire knife of the wire cutting device, and / or the support and the counter support no longer interact, and a fixed anchor has been separated from the anchoring wire and fed to the implantation tool, rotation can be initiated by the control section of the control rod entering the guide chute. In this way, collisions between the wire knife and the mating knife, between the wire knife and the tool carriage, and / or between the support and the counter support caused by the rotation of the tool carriage can be effectively avoided.

[0033] Therefore, only when the implantation tool has been fitted with a fixed anchor will the rotation of the tool carriage be initiated by this configuration of the control chute, the position of the control section, and / or by the length of the straight guide section of the control chute oriented in the implantation direction.

[0034] Therefore, the length of the straight guide section of the control chute can be at least large enough such that the tool carriage will only experience rotation caused by the control section of the control chute when the fixed anchor has been separated from the anchoring wire and fed onto the implantation tool.

[0035] In one embodiment of the brush hair implanting machine, it is provided that the control chute can be manually repositioned to adjust the rotation angle occupied by the tool carriage in the implantation position. Here, the manual repositioning of the control chute can preferably be carried out steplessly.

[0036] In another embodiment of the brush hair implanting machine, the control chute can also be repositioned by an electric motor. For this purpose, the brush hair implanting machine can have a chute drive for changing the position of the control chute, in particular linearly and / or steplessly, and thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the tool carriage in the implantation position. In particular, the chute drive can have a servo motor for changing the position of the control chute. Such a servo motor allows precise change of the position of the control chute.

[0037] The chute drive can have a push rod that is at least indirectly connected to the control chute, and through which the driving force of the chute drive can be transmitted to the control chute to change the position of the control chute relative to the tool carriage.

[0038] The brush hair implanting machine can also have a carriage drive. The carriage drive can include a drive rod that is connected to the tool carriage such that the driving movement of the carriage drive and the drive rod can be transmitted to the tool carriage.

[0039] In order to transmit the driving movement of the carriage drive to the tool carriage even when the tool carriage is in different rotational positions, a drive chute and a transmission element guided in the drive chute can be arranged between the drive rod and the tool carriage.

[0040] The drive rod can especially have a drive chute at its end facing the tool carriage, in which the transmission element is guided. The transmission element can be connected to the tool carriage. The drive chute can be oriented transversely or perpendicularly to the implantation direction. The drive chute allows the tool carriage to be continuously driven by means of the carriage drive even when the tool carriage rotates about its axis of rotation through the guide chute. Thus, the drive chute and the transmission element maintain the drive connection between the carriage drive and the tool carriage even when the tool carriage is in different rotational positions.

[0041] The control rod can have a slider, for example, at its free end facing away from the tool carriage. The control rod can be guided in the control chute by means of this slider. Then, the control rod can enter the control section of the control chute from the straight guide section mentioned above, for example, through its slider. The slider can be configured as spherical, cylindrical or ball-shaped, for example. Preferably, the slider is rotatably supported on the control rod. This can minimize the friction between the control chute and the slider when the slider moves through the control chute, thereby minimizing wear.

[0042] In an embodiment of the brush hair implanting machine, the control chute can have opposing guide surfaces that are parallel to each other and / or oriented parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the slider of the control rod mentioned above, for example.

[0043] The advantage of a cylindrical slider can be that a line contact is formed between the slider and the guide surface of the control chute. Using a slider configured as spherical or ball-shaped can simplify the manufacture of the control chute. Because in this case, the guide surfaces of the control chute can be parallel to each other and are configured without inclination in the course of the control chute. This can significantly simplify the manufacture of the control chute.

[0044] In an embodiment of the brush hair implanting machine, the opposing guide surfaces of the control chute can have an inclination that compensates for the rotational position of the tool carriage in the course of their ends facing the implantation position of the control section. Here, there is a significant advantage that a cylindrical slider can be used and a line contact is formed between the slider and the guide surface.

[0045] The slider can be rotatably supported on the control rod by means of a rotary bearing, for example, by means of a rolling bearing.

[0046] The implanting machine can have a pushing drive. The pushing drive can have a push rod, and the pushing drive is connected to a pushing tongue through the push rod. The push rod can be connected to the pushing tongue through a rotary coupling. The rotary coupling can maintain a driving connection between the pushing drive and the pushing tongue even when the tool slide and the pushing tongue guided therein rotate.

[0047] The tool slide can have a cylindrical guiding surface, and the slide guide can have a corresponding mating guiding surface. The cylindrical guiding surface of the tool slide can be constructed on the outer side of the tool slide. The corresponding mating guiding surface of the slide guide can be an inner surface, in particular a hollow cylindrical inner surface of the slide guide. The cylindrical guiding surface of the tool slide and the corresponding mating guiding surface of the slide guide allow the tool slide to be rotatably supported in the slide guide without preventing the axial movement of the tool slide in the implanting direction in the slide guide. The cylindrical guiding surface of the tool slide and the corresponding mating guiding surface of the slide guide form a combined rotary-linear supporting structure.

[0048] In a section where the tool slide is located upstream of the mating knife in the implanting direction, the tool slide can have such an outer contour that the tool slide advancing beyond the cutting position on the aforementioned wire cutting device up to the intermediate position and further in the implanting direction can rotate past the wire knife of the wire cutting device without collision.

[0049] The cutting position of the tool slide can be such a position that when the mating knife constructed on the tool slide is positioned on the wire knife of the wire cutting device so that the fixing anchor can be separated from the anchoring wire, the position occupied by the tool slide. The cutting position of the tool slide can be arranged between the initial position and a determined intermediate position, and thus is upstream of the intermediate position in the implanting direction.

[0050] The brush implanting machine can also have a clamping device having at least one clamping zone for the brush wire carrier into which the brush wire bundle should be implanted by means of the implanting tool. Particularly preferably, the clamping zone is rotatable about a rotational axis oriented in the implanting direction, preferably by means of a motor.

[0051] Thereby, by combining the rotation of the tool slide caused by controlling the chute and the corresponding rotation of the at least one clamping zone about its rotational axis, the desired anchoring position of the fixing anchor for fixing the brush wire bundle in the bundle hole can be set.

[0052] For example, it can be envisaged that the maximum rotational angle that can be specified by the control chute through the forced guidance it provides is 15°, and the rotation performed by means of the clamping zone is also 15° in each of the two directions. In this way, through the accumulation of these two rotational movements, different anchoring positions can be produced, at which the fixed anchor can be implanted into the brush filament carrier clamped on the clamping zone for fixation.

[0053] The brush filament planting machine can particularly have a scale on the control chute and / or the linear guide of the control chute, by means of which the rotational angle of the tool slide in the implantation position can be read out according to the set position of the guide chute.

[0054] The control chute can be constructed in a chute plate. The chute plate can be constructed as a flip plate, and in order to specify the rotational direction of the tool slide through the control chute, it can be at different positions relative to the tool slide, especially on the slide guide. In this way, by flipping the chute plate, the rotational direction of the tool slide can be changed particularly simply. Here, it is advantageous that the longitudinal central axis of the straight guide section and / or the longitudinal central axis of the entry section of the control section coincide with the longitudinal central axis of the chute plate.

[0055] The brush filament planting machine can have a brush filament magazine. A certain number of loose brush filaments can be arranged in the brush filament magazine.

[0056] The brush filament planting machine can also have a bundle separator, by means of which the brush filament planting machine is set to grasp a brush filament bundle from the reserve of loose brush filaments in the brush filament magazine and convey it to the implantation tool of the brush filament planting machine. Then, the brush filament bundle conveyed to the implantation tool by means of the bundle separator can be implanted into a bundle hole of the prepared brush filament carrier together with a fixed anchor at the desired anchoring position and thus fixed on the brush filament carrier.

[0057] The brush filament magazine can have one or more material boxes. Each material box can contain one type of brush filament. The brush filament magazine can be movably supported so that different material boxes can be selectively arranged at the extraction position at the bundle separator. For this purpose, for example, the brush filament magazine can be rotated about a rotation axis.

[0058] The bundle separator can have a separating notch, by means of which the bundle separator can move beside the brush filament magazine to grasp a brush filament bundle from the brush filament magazine and convey it to the implantation tool. Description of the Drawings

[0059] The present invention will be described in more detail below with the aid of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Other embodiments of the present invention result from the combination of the features of one or more claims with each other and / or from the combination of one or more features of the embodiments.

[0060] Figure 1 is a perspective view of a brush hair implanting machine with an implanting tool having a tool slide and a push tongue axially movable therein, wherein the tool slide can move back and forth along the implanting direction in a slide guide of the brush hair implanting machine, and the brush hair implanting machine has a control chute on the upper side of the slide guide, by means of which the tool slide can be forced to rotate about its axis of rotation oriented in the implanting direction by its movement towards the implanting position in order to anchor a fixing anchor in a prepared brush filament carrier in a desired anchoring position for fixing a brush filament bundle to the brush filament carrier, wherein the control chute has a straight guiding section oriented in the implanting direction and a control section having a bending course different from that of the guiding section;

[0061] Figure 2 is Figure 1 an enlarged view of the detail marked with a circle in

[0062] Figure 3 is an enlarged view of the implanting tool when the tool slide is in the cutting position, from which it can be seen that a support member and a counter support member of a support device of the brush hair implanting machine interact with each other to absorb the cutting force when separating the fixing anchor;

[0063] Figure 4 is Figure 3 a similar detail view as Figure 3 wherein, compared with

[0064] Figure 5 is Figure 3 and Figure 4 the brush hair implanting machine shown in

[0065] Figures 6 to 15 is a perspective view of a clamping device of a brush hair implanting machine with a brush filament carrier clamped thereon, wherein Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 14 and Figure 15 the enlarged views of show different anchoring positions, which can be achieved by using the control chute with the brush hair implanting machine shown in the figures;

[0066] Figure 16 is a view of another brush hair planting machine having a control chute whose position can be manually changed;

[0067] Figure 17 is Figure 16 the brush hair planting machine shown, where the control chute has been flipped so that here the tool slide rotates up to 15° to the right, while according to Figure 16 , due to the orientation of the control chute, especially the orientation of its control section, the tool slide rotates up to 15° to the left;

[0068] Figures 18 to 20 is a perspective view of the brush hair planting machine for illustrating the case where the tool slide is rotated 15° to the left using the control chute, where the comparison of Figure 19 and Figure 20 shows that the tool slide rotates about its axis of rotation only when the control rod connected to the tool slide enters the curved control section of the control chute from the straight guiding section of the control chute - this is achieved by the axial movement of the tool slide in the implanting direction;

[0069] Figures 21 to 23 is similar to Figures 18 to 20 a view of a brush hair planting machine, where here the control chute has been moved forward a distance in the implanting direction along its linear guide, so compared with the case shown in Figures 18 to 20 , the control rod enters the control section of the control chute slightly later by the movement of the tool slide towards its implanting position (compare Figure 23 ), and finally the tool slide rotates 10° counterclockwise in the implanting position;

[0070] Figures 24 to 26 are three other perspective views for illustrating the working mode of the brush hair planting machine when the control chute advances further in the implanting direction, where here, due to the position of the control chute relative to the tool slide, when the tool slide is advanced from its initial position according to Figure 24 to its implanting position according to Figure 26 , the tool slide rotates only 5°;

[0071] Figures 27 to 29 is the brush hair planting machine shown in the previous figures, where here the control chute has been advanced further in the implanting direction, so when the tool slide moves from its initial position according to Figure 27 to the implanting position according to Figure 29 , the control rod no longer leaves the straight guiding section of the control chute and accordingly the tool slide does not undergo rotation;

[0072] Figure 30Is a three-dimensional detail view of a part of the tool slide and the control lever, where the control lever is guided in a control chute by a rotatably supported, spherical slider arranged at the free end of the control lever, and different positions that the control lever and its slider can occupy in the control chute are illustrated by this figure;

[0073] Figure 31 Is similar to that shown in Figure 30 The view, where here a cylindrical slider is arranged at the free end of the control lever instead of a spherical slider, and the mutually opposite guiding surfaces of the control chute are gradually inclined in the direction of the control section of the control chute according to the rotational positions that the tool slide can occupy relative to the control chute;

[0074] Figure 32 Is a three-dimensional view of a brush implanting machine, which has a clamping device with a clamping area for the brush wire carrier, and the clamping area can be rotated by a motor about a rotation axis oriented in the implanting direction so as to achieve the desired anchoring position together with the rotatable tool slide of the implanting tool. In this anchoring position, a fixed anchor is implanted into the bundle holes of the prepared brush wire carrier for fixing the brush wire bundle;

[0075] Figure 33 Is Figure 32 The brush implanting machine shown, where the control chute is in the 0° position, so the tool slide is only guided by the straight guiding section of the control chute during its movement towards the implanting position and does not experience rotation here;

[0076] Figure 34 Is Figure 32 And Figure 33 The implanting machine shown has a control chute that is flipped compared to Figure 33 So that the rotation of the tool slide here is defined by the orientation of the control chute and its control section and proceeds in the clockwise direction. Detailed implementation mode

[0077] All the drawings at least show a part of the brush implanting machine generally represented by 1 respectively. Unless otherwise specified, the following descriptions about all the brush implanting machines 1 shown in the drawings apply.

[0078] The brush implanting machine 1 shown is used to implant the brush wire bundle 2 into the bundle holes 3 of the brush wire carrier 4. The brush wire carrier 4 can be, for example, a brush body. Figures 6 to 15 Shows views of different brush wire carriers 4.

[0079] Each brush implanting machine 1 has an implanting tool 5 and a slide guide 6.

[0080] The implant tool 5 is used for implanting the brush filament bundle 2 and has a tool slide 7 that is axially movable in a slide guide 6 between an initial position and an implant position relative to the implant direction, and a push tongue 9 that is axially movable in the tool slide along the implant direction. By means of the push tongue 9, the brush filament bundle 2 can be implanted together with the fixing anchor 10 into the bundle holes 3 of the prepared brush filament carrier 4.

[0081] For example, Figure 1 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 show the implant tool 5 of the corresponding brush implanting machine 1 in its implant position. Figure 18 、 Figure 21 、 Figure 24 and Figure 27 show the implant tool 5 of the corresponding brush implanting machine 1 in its initial position.

[0082] The tool slide 7 is rotatably supported in the slide guide 6 about a rotational axis oriented in the implant direction in order to fix the brush filament bundle 2 together with the fixing anchor 10 oriented in a desired rotational orientation (the so-called anchoring position) in the bundle holes 3.

[0083] In order to bring the tool slide 7 into the desired rotational orientation, the brush implanting machine 1 has a control lever 11 connected to the tool slide 7 and a control chute 12 through which the control lever 11 can move as the tool slide 7 moves from its initial position to its implant position.

[0084] The control chute 12 includes a control section 14 that is used to generate a forced-guided rotational movement of the tool slide 7 and thereby introduce the fixing anchor 10 into the brush filament carrier 4 in the desired anchoring position. The control section 14 has a curved course different from the implant direction and is arranged such that depending on the relative position of the control chute 12 and the tool slide 7, the control lever 11 is guided in the control section 14 only when the tool slide 7 reaches a certain intermediate position between its initial position and its implant position during its movement towards the implant position. Therefore, the control section 14 of the control chute 12 can be arranged between the initial position and the implant position of the tool slide 7 and thus at the intermediate position, or between the intermediate position and the implant position, i.e., further shifted towards the implant position, depending on in which anchoring position the fixing anchor 10 should be introduced into the brush filament carrier 4.

[0085] The control chute 12 includes a straight guide section 13 oriented along the implantation direction, which is located upstream of the control section 14 along the implantation direction. Once the control rod 11 enters the control section 14 of the control chute 12, the control rod turns transversely to the implantation direction according to the orientation of the control section 14. Since the control rod is connected to the tool slide 7, when the tool slide 7 is further moved into its implantation position, the control rod 11 forces the tool slide 7 into the desired rotational position.

[0086] Here, the rotational angle of the tool slide 7 in the implantation position depends on the position of the control rod 11 in the control section 14 of the control chute 12 and the orientation of the control section 14 relative to the implantation direction.

[0087] In the control sections 14 of the control chute 12 shown in the figures, each has a curved orientation departing from the longitudinal central axis of the straight guide section 13. Each control chute 12 can be changed in position steplessly parallel to the implantation direction and parallel to the movement direction of the tool slide 7, so as to steplessly adjust the rotational angle by which the tool slide 7 is rotated through the control chute 12 and its movement towards the implantation position. For this purpose, each of the shown control chutes 12 is fixed to the corresponding slide guide 6 in a steplessly position-changeable manner.

[0088] In order to be able to change the position of the control chute 12 on the slide guide 6 steplessly, the brush implanting machine 1 has a linear guide 15, which is fixed to the slide guide 6, and the control chute 12 is supported movably along this linear guide relative to the tool slide 7.

[0089] In all the brush implanting machines 1 shown in the figures, the corresponding control rods 11 are oriented transversely to the implantation direction, i.e., perpendicular to the implantation direction, and are arranged on the outside of the corresponding tool slides 7.

[0090] Each of the shown brush implanting machines 1 has a wire cutting device 16 with a wire guide device 17 and a wire knife 18. The tool slide 7 of the corresponding brush implanting machine 1 has a mating knife 19 corresponding to the wire knife 18. The wire knife 18 is movable and is provided for performing a cutting movement so as to separate the fixing anchor 10 from the anchoring wire 20 conveyed through the wire guide device 17 together with the mating knife 19 fixed during cutting. Then, each separated fixing anchor 10 will be transported together with a brush filament bundle 2 through the pushing channel 8 by means of a pushing tongue 9 and will be pushed into a bundle hole 3 of the prepared brush filament carrier 4.

[0091] The opposing end faces of the mating knife 19, the wire knife 18, and the wire guide device 17 are oriented parallel to one another. In addition, the wire knife 18 and the mating knife 19 each have a wedge angle of 90°. This simplifies the setup of the wire cutting device 16 as well as the installation of the mating knife 19 in the tool slide 7 and its setup there.

[0092] The wire cutting device 16 further includes a cutting drive 21, which is configured as a stroke unit 22 and is used to move the wire knife 18 relative to the mating knife 19 during the cutting movement, and thereby separate the fixing anchor 10 from the conveyed anchoring wire 20.

[0093] Each of the illustrated brush implanting machines 1 has a support device 23. The support device 23 is used to stabilize the tool slide 7 when separating the fixing anchor 10 from the anchoring wire 20.

[0094] The support device 23 includes a support member 24 on the tool slide 7 and a counter support member 25 arranged on the slide guide 6. When the tool slide 7 is set with its mating knife 19 in the cutting position on the wire cutting device 16 and the wire knife 18, the support member 24 rests on the counter support member 25. In this way, the cutting force generated when separating the fixing anchor 10 from the anchoring wire 20 can be led through the support member 24 and the counter support member 25 of the support device 23 to the machine frame 26 of the brush implanting machine 1.

[0095] The length of the straight guiding section 13 of the control chute 12 is at least as large as the distance between the initial position of the tool slide 7 and the determined intermediate position, and preferably greater than this distance. Therefore, the length of the straight guiding section 13 is at least as large as the path traveled by the tool slide 7 between its initial position and an intermediate position downstream of the cutting position in the implanting direction, in which the mating knife 19 on the tool slide 7 has passed the wire knife 18 of the wire cutting device 16 in the implanting direction, and in which the support member 24 on the tool slide 7 is spaced apart from the counter support member 25 arranged on the slide guide 6.

[0096] Thus, it can be ensured that the rotation of the tool slide 7 is caused by the control section 14 of the control chute 12 only when the tool slide 7 reaches such a position where the rotation of the tool slide 7 does not cause a collision between the support member 24 and the counter support member 25, and the wire knife 18 is no longer within the rotational range of the mating knife 19.

[0097] This enables the wire knife 18 and the mating knife 19 to each have a wedge angle of 90°, and when the tool slide 7 is in the cutting position, regardless of any subsequent rotation of the tool slide 7, the end faces of the wire knife 18 and the mating knife 19 facing each other can be oriented parallel to each other. In this way, the cutting movement caused by the cutting drive 21 and the stroke unit 22 can be carried out parallel to the end faces of the wire knife 18 and the mating knife 19, in which cutting movement the wire knife 18 passes by the side of the mating knife 19.

[0098] In Figure 16 and Figure 17 as well as Figures 32 to 34 the shown brush implanting machine 1 respectively has a manually position - changeable control chute 12 for defining the rotation angle of the tool slide 7 in the implanting position.

[0099] In order to be able to also change the rotational position of the tool slide 7 in its implanting position during the operation of the brush implanting machine 1, and thus change the anchoring position of the fixing anchor 10, in Figure 1 as well as Figures 18 to 27 the shown brush implanting machine 1 has a chute drive 27.

[0100] The chute drive 27 is arranged to linearly and steplessly change the position of the corresponding control chute 12. For this purpose, the chute drive 27 is equipped with a servo - motor 28.

[0101] The corresponding chute drive 27 is at least indirectly connected to the corresponding control chute 12 by a push rod 29. Through the push rod 29, the driving force of the chute drive 27 can be transmitted to the control chute 12 to change its position.

[0102] Each shown brush implanting machine 1 also has a slide drive 30 with a drive rod 31, which drive rod is connected to the tool slide 7. Thereby, the driving movement of the slide drive 30 can be transmitted to the corresponding tool slide 7 by means of the drive rod 31.

[0103] The drawings show that the drive rod 31 has a drive chute 32 at its end facing the tool slide 7. A transmission element 33 connected to the tool slide 7 is guided in the drive chute 32. The drive chute 32 is oriented transversely or perpendicularly to the implanting direction and allows force transmission between the slide drive 30 and the tool slide 7 even when the tool slide 7 is in different rotational positions.

[0104] The corresponding control rod 11 guided in the guide chute 12 respectively has a slider 34 at its free end facing away from the tool slide 7. The slider 34 can be configured, for example, as spherical, spheroidal or cylindrical. The drawings show sliders 34 configured as spheroidal or cylindrical.

[0105] The slide block 34 shown in the drawing is rotatably supported on its respective control rod 11. For this purpose, for example, a rolling bearing is used.

[0106] The slide block 34 is guided in the respective control chute 12. Figure 30 and Figure 31 The slide block 34 in different positions and in different control chutes 12 is shown.

[0107] The control chute 12 shown in the drawing has guiding surfaces 35 and 36 opposite to each other, which are parallel to each other and parallel to the rotational axis of the respective slide block 34, and are thus also oriented parallel to the longitudinal central axis of the respective control rod 11.

[0108] In Figure 30 the guiding surfaces 35 and 36 of the control chute 12 shown are oriented at a 90° angle to the surface of the chute plate 37 in which the control chute 12 is constructed.

[0109] To compensate for the angular position of the control rod 11 and its slide block 34 that changes with the rotational position of the tool slide 7 relative to the guiding surfaces 34 and 35 of the control chute 12, Figure 30 the slide block 34 in

[0110] Figure 31 is configured to be spherical. The slide block 34 shown in Figure 31 has a cylindrical outer contour. This enables a line contact to be formed between the guiding surfaces 35 and 36 and the slide block 34. To compensate for the angular position of the slide block 34 and the control rod 11 that changes according to the relative position of the tool slide 7 relative to the control chute 12,

[0111] Each brush planting machine 1 also has a pushing drive 38 for pushing the tongue piece 9, which has a push rod 39. To compensate for the changing rotational position of the tool slide 7 during the movement between the initial position and the implanting position, the push rod 39 is connected to the tongue piece 9 by a rotational coupling 40.

[0112] The drawing also shows that the tool slide 7 respectively has a cylindrical guide surface 41, and the corresponding slide guide 6 has a corresponding hollow cylindrical mating guide surface 42. The guide surface 41 on the tool slide 7 and the corresponding mating guide surface 42 on the slide guide 6 allow the tool slide 7 to rotate in the slide guide 6 and also allow the tool slide 7 to perform a linear movement within the slide guide 6. The guide surface 41 can also be referred to as the bearing surface of the tool slide 7.

[0113] The tool slide 7 has such an outer contour in the section 43 thereof that is located upstream of the mating knife 19 in the implantation direction, such that the tool slide 7 advancing beyond the cutting position in the implantation direction can pass by the wire knife 18 of the wire cutting device 16 without collision. Each of the illustrated brush implanting machines 1 also has a clamping device 44, which has a clamping zone 45 for the brush wire carrier 4.

[0114] In Figures 32 to 34 the embodiment of the brush implanting machine 1 shown, the clamping zone 45 can be rotated by a motor about a rotational axis oriented in the implantation direction. Therefore, the anchoring position for introducing the fixing anchor 10 into the brush wire carrier 4 by means of the implanting tool 5 can also be adjusted by means of the rotatable clamping zone 45.

[0115] Figures 32 to 34 Illustrates the interaction of the rotational positions of the tool slide 7 respectively generated by the control chute 12 and the rotatable clamping zone 25, and the resulting anchoring position of the fixing anchor 10 in the brush wire carrier 4.

[0116] Each of the illustrated brush implanting machines 1 has a scale 46, by means of which the rotational angle of the tool slide 7 in the implantation position can be read out according to the set position of the guide chute 12.

[0117] In addition, the control chute 12 can be used in different orientations. For this purpose, the chute plate 37 on which the control chute 12 is constructed is designed as a flip plate. By flipping the chute plate 37, the rotational direction of the forced guidance caused by the control chute 12 can be specified. It can be seen here that the longitudinal central axis of the straight guide section 13 and the longitudinal central axis of the entry section of the control section 14 of the corresponding control chute 12 coincide with the longitudinal central axis of the chute plate 37.

[0118] The Figure 33 and Figure 34 comparison shows the influence of the orientation of the control chute 12 on the rotational movement direction of the tool slide 7. Figure 16 and 17 also show that the control chute 12 used there is in a left-oriented direction ( Figure 16 ) and in a right-oriented direction ( Figure 17 ) once.

[0119] Each of the brush tufting machines 1 shown has a brush filament silo 47. Three material boxes 51 are formed in the brush filament silo 47. A certain amount of brush filaments is arranged in each material box 51. The three material boxes 51 of the brush filament silo 47 shown in the figure can contain different types of brush filaments.

[0120] The corresponding brush filament silo 47 is rotatably supported on the frame 26 of the corresponding brush tufting machine 1 around a rotation axis 48. In this way, the three material boxes 51 of the brush filament silo 47 can be selectively brought to the removal position at the bundle divider 49 of the brush tufting machine 1. The bundle divider 49 is rotatably supported on the frame 26 of the brush tufting machine 1 around a rotation axis parallel to the rotation axis 48 of the brush filament silo 47.

[0121] The bundle separator 49 has a separation slot 50, by means of which the bundle separator can be moved beside the brush filament bin to remove the brush filament bundle 2 from the brush filament bin 47. The brush filament bundle 2 removed from the brush filament bin 47 by the separation slot 50 of the bundle separator 49 will be conveyed to the tool slide 7 of the implantation tool 5 together with the bundle separator 49.

[0122] Figure 18 , Figure 21 , Figure 24 and Figure 27 The bundle separator 49 of the corresponding brush hair implanting machine 1 is shown in its transfer position with the tool slide 7 of the implantation tool 5. By pushing the tongue 9 through the push channel 8 of the implantation tool 5, the brush filament bundle 2 prepared by the bundle separator 49 is first taken out from the dividing groove 50 of the bundle separator 49, and then implanted into a bundle hole 3 of the prepared brush filament carrier 4 together with a fixing anchor 10 by pushing the tongue 9 in the implantation direction and anchored there.

[0123] exist Figure 16 and Figure 17 as well as Figures 32 to 34 In the embodiment of the brush tufting machine 1 shown, the relative position of the control slide 12 relative to the tool slide 7 can be manually moved in order to determine the rotational position of the tool slide 7 in its implantation position on the prepared brush filament carrier 4. In order to fix the relative position of the control slide 12 relative to the tool slide 7, the brush tufting machine 1 shown in the figure has a clamping mechanism 51, which includes a knob 52. By rotating the knob 52 in one direction, the position of the control slide 12 can be fixed. By rotating the knob 52 in the opposite direction, the clamping mechanism 51 can be loosened so that the position of the control slide 12 can be changed again.

[0124] Figures 6 to 15 The fixing anchor 10 is shown in different anchoring positions on two brush wire carriers 4 of different shapes.Figure 6 and Figure 11 shows two brush wire carriers 4 on the clamping device 44 before the brush wire bundle 2 is implanted. Figure 7 shows the brush wire carrier 4 after the brush wire bundle 2 is implanted Figure 6 in

[0125] According to Figure 7 , the fixing anchors 10 for fixing the brush wire bundle 2 in the bundle holes 3 are horizontally oriented. Due to the dimensions of the fixing anchors 10 and the distance between adjacent bundle holes 3 in the brush wire carrier 4, the fixing anchors 10 only have a very small distance from each other. This can be clearly seen from Figure 8 which shows, in an enlarged view, the details marked with a circle in Figure 7 , and this may make it difficult to reliably fix the brush wire bundle 2 in the bundle holes 3.

[0126] To ensure that the brush wire bundle 2 can be reliably fixed in the bundle holes 3 of the brush wire carrier 4 by means of the fixing anchors 10, the fixing anchors 10 can be introduced into the brush wire carrier 4 in different, inclined anchoring positions by means of the brush wire implanting machine 1 according to the invention, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 .

[0127] Due to the inclined anchoring positions of the fixing anchors 10 compared to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the fixing anchors now have a greater distance from each other. This can facilitate the reliable fixing of the brush wire bundle 2 in the bundle holes 3 of the brush wire carrier 4 by means of the fixing anchors 10.

[0128] Figures 11 to 15 shows a brush wire carrier 4 with another shape on the clamping device 44. In particular Figure 13 (which shows, in an enlarged view, the details marked with a circle in Figure 12 ) shows that due to the anchoring positions selected for fixing the brush wire bundle 2 on the brush wire carrier 4, the fixing anchors 10 have only a very small distance from the edge of the brush wire carrier 4, especially in the edge region of the brush wire carrier 4. This may affect the fixing of the brush wire bundle 2 in the bundle holes 3 of the brush wire carrier 4.

[0129] Figure 14 and Figure 15 show that, in order to reliably fix the brush wire bundle 2 in each individual bundle hole 3, the fixing anchors 10 introduced in the corner region can be introduced into the brush wire carrier 4 in an anchoring position different from the anchoring positions of the other fixing anchors 10. The adjustment of the anchoring position according to the brush wire bundle during the processing of the brush wire carrier 4 is possible by means of a stepless change in the position of the control chute 12 relative to the tool slide 7 of the implanting tool 5; this applies in particular to those brush wire implanting machines 1 that allow an electric position change of the control chute 12, and such a position change can also be carried out during the implanting process.
