Double trimming shears
View Patent ↗The invention relates to double trimming shears having a stationary bottom knife and a driven top knife which can be raised and lowered, wherein the top knife is arranged on a top knife carriage ( 12 ) guided by means of a carriage guide ( 10 ), wherein a first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) and a second eccentric shaft ( 16 ) on the carriage guide ( 10 ) is provided in order to guide the carriage guide ( 10 ) if an inclined position of the top knife carriage is to be prevented. This is achieved in that the first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) and the second eccentric shaft ( 16 ) are interconnected via a synchronization means ( 18 ).
1. A blade gap adjustment system for double trimming shears having: a stationary lower knife, an upper knife lowerable and raisable along a vertical axis in a vertical cutting direction ( 24 ), a carriage guide ( 10 ) extending in a direction of the vertical axis, an upper-knife carriage ( 12 ) guided by the carriage guide ( 10 ), the upper knife being mounted on the upper knife carriage, the blade gap adjustment system comprising: a first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) provided on the carriage guide ( 10 ), wherein
the first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) is mounted on an upper end ( 20 ) of the carriage guide ( 10 ) along the vertical axis;
a second eccentric shaft ( 16 ) mounted on a lower end ( 22 ) of the carriage guide ( 10 ) along the vertical axis; and
synchronization means ( 18 ) for connecting the first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) and the second eccentric shaft ( 16 ) to each other and for rotating the first and second eccentric shafts to displace the upper knife carriage in a direction transverse to the vertical axis to adjust a knife gap between the upper knife and the lower knife, the synchronization means ( 18 ) transmitting movement from one of the eccentric shafts to another of the eccentric shafts to effectively synchronize the first and second eccentric shafts ( 14 , 16 ), the synchronization means being a rigid, inflexible rod which is supported rotatably on the first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) and rotatably on the second eccentric shaft ( 16 ).
2. A blade gap adjustment system according to claim 1 , wherein the first eccentric shaft ( 14 ) and the second eccentric shaft ( 16 ) are offset to each other in the transverse direction so that a distance of the first eccentric shaft from the upper knife carriage is shorter than a distance of the second eccentric shaft from the upper knife carriage.
3. A shearing line, comprising: a double trimming shears; and a blade gap position adjustment system according to claim 1 .
