Abstract
Compaction press includes a support structure provided with an abutment surface; a first compaction lid, which is provided with a first flat compaction surface and is rotatably constrained to a first delimitation edge of the support structure; a second compaction lid, which is provided with a second curved compaction surface and is rotatably constrained to a second delimitation edge of the support structure. The abutment surface of the support structure and the first and second compaction surfaces of the first and second compaction arms delimit a pressing chamber, in which a mass of material to be compacted is intended to be deposited. In addition, the second compaction lid includes a first arm and a second arm which are rotatably constrained to each other.
Claims15
A compaction press, comprising:
- a support structure (2), provided with at least one abutment surface (20) extended between a first delimitation edge (21) and a second delimitation edge (22);
- a first compaction lid (3), provided with a first compaction surface (30) extended between a first external edge (31) and a first internal edge (32), wherein, at said first internal edge (32), said first compaction lid (3) is rotatably constrained to said support structure (2) at said first delimitation edge (21);
- a second compaction lid (4), provided with a second compaction surface (40) with concave profile and at least partially curved and extended between a second external edge (41) and a second internal edge (42), wherein, at said second internal edge (42), said second compaction lid (4) is rotatably constrained to said support structure (2) at said second delimitation edge (22);
- said abutment surface (20), said first compaction surface (30) and said second compaction surface (40) delimiting a pressing chamber (200) in which a mass of material to be compacted is intended to be arranged;
- a movement system (100), which is mechanically connected to said first compaction lid (3) and to said second compaction lid (4), and is arranged for moving said first compaction lid (3) and said second compaction lid (4) at least between an open position, in which said pressing chamber (200) is open to allow a deposit of said mass of material, and a closed position, in which said pressing chamber (200) is closed by said first compaction lid (3) and by said second compaction lid (4) in order to compact said mass of material;
- wherein said second compaction lid (4) comprises:
- a first arm (5) defining a first section (50) of said second compaction surface (40), extended between said second internal edge (42) and a third internal edge (43);
- a second arm (6) defining a second section (60) of said second compaction surface (40), extended between said second external edge (41) and a fourth internal edge (44), wherein, at said fourth internal edge (44), said second arm (6) is rotatably constrained to said first arm (5) at said third internal edge (43);
- wherein said first compaction lid (3) is provided with at least one abutment element (11) placed at an external surface (33) of said first compaction lid (3), said external surface (33) being opposite said first compaction surface (30);
- said abutment element (11) abuttingly receiving the second section (60) of the second compaction surface (40) defined by the second arm (6) of said second compaction lid (4) with said first compaction lid (3) and said second compaction lid (4) placed at least in said closed position.
