Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of feature with claim 1, be used for operation and enclose the equipment of the article that the hoop part keeps together by at least one, and the corresponding method that relates to the feature with claim to a method 9.
Background technology
In order to transmit purpose, mostly drinking container is assembled have four, the light article collection of six or more containers, wherein, these containers can for example wrap up with shrink film and keep together in this case.Use more and more continually or use following article collection, these article collection utilizations are enclosed the hoop part and are kept together and be equipped with handle.This class article collection relates generally to the article collection with even number spare article, for example four formula article collection, six formula article collection or eight formula article collection.These article collection generally transmit with the diagonal angle configuration body and carry out palletization.Particularly thisly so-called angie type article collection is required minimum position, demonstrate minimum packed bulk density because this arrangement reveals for the information slip of the container that is cylinder shape.But, the effect that may occur not expecting in the Palletized situation of the article collection with diagonal angle configuration body, this is because layer pattern (Lagenbilder) is arranged in because container staggers that separately article are concentrated and therefore also assemble in zoarium the not well-regulated edge of tool at article.This effect of not expecting be also referred to as so-called palletization deficiency or palletization excessive.
Be necessary that in order to avoid this effect of not expecting, the article that the diagonal angle can be enclosed hoop collect became the linear configuration body before its palletization.
In order to operate the article collection, known have different devices.US 2924484A discloses the folder jaw formula grabber that is used for mentioning the marshalling that comprises six sheet material tanks, these sheet material tanks are kept by jaw formula crawl arm on two vertical sides respectively, and the mandrel that medially is entrenched between the sheet material tank provides the connection of form fit, and avoided by this way the regular configuration body of sheet material tank inclination, slip away or unclamp.
DE 3505405A1 disclose be used for the operation object, have a device that side direction is caught the grabber system of object, this grabber system comprises centering finger and grasping mechanism.Grasping mechanism is provided with following clamping body, and it is used for object is clamped between clamping body and centering finger.Clamping body is configured to following hollow body, and it can expanded on the direction of object to be operated by pressure medium.
Summary of the invention
Also do not have up to now known permission to revise the article structure set in order to for example simplify Palletized equipment or method for operation article collection.Therefore, primary and foremost purpose of the present invention is as follows, that is: following equipment and method proposed, this equipment and method are eliminated this shortcoming and are allowed and changed the configuration body of article collection and thus the article collection is transformed into other stable configuration body before the palletization of article collection, in order to reduce in addition thus method cost and system cost.
Purpose of the present invention utilizes the target of independent claims to realize.The feature of the advantageous improvement project of tool of the present invention is drawn by dependent claims separately.In order to reach this purpose, one aspect of the present invention has proposed to be used for to enclosing by at least one the equipment that article collection that the hoop part keeps together, as to have respectively the approximate all sides that are cylinder shape and/or circular bottom profile article form operates by at least four.Also can utilize equipment according to the present invention to enclose hoop five, six of keeping together of part or the article collection of more article is processed and operated to having by at least one.Alternatively, the article energy collecting enough is placed in the zone that for example places section or transmit section or carries; The article energy collecting is enough for example transmitting on about horizontal direction of load-transfer device.According to the first scheme of the present invention, equipment has at least two that can install or effect, as to be used for applying the adjustment power that the longitudinal axis approximately perpendicular to article works mechanisms on opposed side on direction toward each other, be used for that article are collected the body of the arranging structural reform of especially arranging from the diagonal angle and become the rectanglar arrangement body or become the diagonal angle body of arranging from the rectanglar arrangement structural reform.In the time of the description referred to this mechanism be used to applying adjustment power, be not so thus mean forcibly can transposition mechanism, clamping surface, clamping jaw or like that.Above-mentioned definition comprises that similarly only have can be in mechanism, clamping surface, clamping jaw or the suchlike scheme of a sidesway key joint, and for example can be provided with fixing base, fixing wall or fixing abutment face or the opposite face of form like that at opposed upside.In this case, when adjustment power is responsible for making article to pass toward each other, only the mechanism that can move is applied adjustment power and this adjustment power is imported in article collection configuration body according to definition, and therefore the formation maintenance faces such as opposite face, base also are delivered to confining force on article collection configuration body.
Should should be mentioned that in addition, above-mentioned mechanism, clamping surface, clamping jaw or like that be not must act on forcibly on whole vertical side or narrow side of article collection to be changed aspect it is arranged, but when this mechanism for example only acts on middle the article of row in a plurality of article, also still can play a role according to equipment of the present invention.This can be for example the middle article of 1/3rd row (Dreierreihe) article on vertical side of article collection.And, the opposite face of fixed or relatively transposition can be alternatively on whole vertical side of article collection or narrow side or also only extend on the part of the vertical side of article collection or the narrow side of article collection, thereby make this opposite face can be for example only abut in there with middle the article of 1/3rd row.
In principle, can consider all following mechanical devices as this mechanism, it can will be concentrated for the necessary adjustment power of article collection marshalling imports article.Alternatively, the mechanism that is used for applying adjustment power is formed by clamping surface that can transposition, and this clamping surface comes feeding from least two opposed sides towards the article collection.Can arrange in addition as followsly, that is: at least one clamping surface has boss and/or depressed part on the face on an outside that acts on the article collection.
Just as mentioned, equipment can have at least two can be on opposed side on direction toward each other transposition, be used for changing the clamping surface that article collect the body of arranging.Therefore refer to as followsly, that is: article can be collected arrange body or the article body structural reform of especially arranging from the diagonal angle to each other of arranging and become or be transformed into the rectanglar arrangement body or become the diagonal angle body of arranging from the rectanglar arrangement structural reform.At least one clamping surface has boss and/or depressed part on the face on an outside that acts on the article collection, clamping surface can change the article of concentrating at article and arranges thus, and especially arrange at the diagonal angle body and linearity are arranged and changed between body or rectanglar arrangement body and also passable conversely.Be arranged on depressed part in the scope of abutment face of clamping surface or boss and make the coupling with the form fit at least in part of vertical side of article collection to be operated or narrow side become possibility, change thereby make it possible to carry out desired configuration body.Alternatively, clamping surface can also have suitable coating, and this coating makes after clamping surface is fed on the article collection outside respectively that foundation becomes possibility with form fit and/or the frictional fit of the article that contact respectively of article collection.
When operation article collection, the article energy collecting enough be placed on load-transfer device, clamping surface, pigeonholes or like that on.Clamping surface can especially be configured to following clamping jaw, and its feeding toward each other in the horizontal direction is in order to can clamp and again organize into groups in case of necessity the article collection.The contoured section of the clamping surface by pointing to the article collection and/or anti-slip coating, can avoid or prevent as follows, in case that is: equipment is contacted with separately article collection clamping, clamping surface just from article collection outside slip from.
Has especially advantage ground use according to equipment of the present invention, in order to the article collection is passed and/or is retrofited or be independent of its article collection and itself pass and/or retrofit during rotating and/or passing, that is to say especially to become the parallel configuration body from the diagonal angle configuration body.Usually be necessary that the externally fixing article collection that keeps, in order to prevent the skew of not expecting of Individual Items for this reason.The diagonal angle body weight of arranging newly is organized into the rectanglar arrangement body and can be usually undertaken by the feeding of two opposed clamping surfaces, and the rectanglar arrangement body weight of the article that will concentrate at article newly be organized into the diagonal angle body of arranging and may need the opposed side that contact with clamping surface additional fixing of article collection and/or guide.Like this in embodiment of an apparatus according to the present invention, can give to clamp jaw and distribute other holding elements, these holding elements can with stagger about 90 ° be arranged in the side direction upper feeding.
The structuring section of clamping surface can for example construct as follows, that is: clamping surface has respectively lug boss, and this lug boss is entrenched between adjacent article and prevents its slippage in the horizontal direction.This lug boss can for example be configured to groove, triangular in shape most advanced and sophisticated or like that, they conform to corresponding space between the adjacent article of concentrating at article, thereby make in article collection side void-free fixing largely on clamping surface by contact.Alternatively or addedly, clamping surface has respectively anti-slip coating, can realize thus the connection of the frictional fit between clamping surface and the article collection outside that contacts.In addition, also can be provided with alternatively depressed part or contoured section (Konturierungen) in clamping surface, they are placed on outside all sides of the article that contact, so that the form fit of foundation and these article.
Except describe before be used for operation at least one the scheme of the article collection between the clamping surface of feeding toward each other, other schemes can also be configured to for example become double cloth body, become in double cloth body at this, two article energy collectings placed side by side enough are being changed aspect its configuration body respectively.According to embodiment, also can operate simultaneously plural article collection in case of necessity.
Except the equipment that is used for operation article collection of mentioning, the present invention also comprises for to by four the corresponding methods that operate of the article collection that forms of the article of the approximate all sides that are cylinder shape and/or circular bottom profile respectively that have of enclosing by at least one that the hoop part keeps together at least, in this method, adjustment power acts on the article collection from opposed side respectively, can change thus article and collect the body of arranging, the structural reform of especially arranging from the diagonal angle becomes the rectanglar arrangement body or becomes the diagonal angle body of arranging from the rectanglar arrangement structural reform.For example article can be collected like this by at least two toward each other transposition and also will be from the outside catch clamping surface that article collect to become other article in opposed side to collect the body of arranging (especially diagonal angle arrange body or rectanglar arrangement body).At least one clamping surface preferably has boss and/or depressed part.In addition, form fit and/or the frictional fit of at least one clamping surface foundation and article that contact respectively of article collection after it is fed on the article collection outside.Alternatively, the article energy collecting enough be placed on load-transfer device, sliding surface, pigeonholes or like that on.Clamping surface can especially be configured to following clamping jaw, and it is feeding toward each other in the horizontal direction.In addition, clamping surface is carried out structural configuration and/or adds coating, in order to avoid/prevent the article collection outside and/or remain on slipping away of the concentrated article of article.And, should again should be mentioned that at this, not must be forcibly to apply adjustment power in the mode of symmetry from the opposed side of article collection, but the method according to this invention similarly comprises the scheme that only has the adjustment power that can a side applies, and is used for transmitting the confining force opposite with adjustment power and for example can be provided with on opposed side with fixing base, fixing wall or fixing abutment face or the opposite face of form like that.
According to the present invention, the article energy collecting is enough self is passed and/or is retrofited.That is to say, the article energy collecting enough especially is changed to the parallel configuration body from the diagonal angle configuration body, otherwise also as the same in case of necessity.At least be transformed into the diagonal angle configuration body for article are collected from the parallel configuration body, following can be essential, that is: the article collection is fixed on its outside, also is fixed on to can't help on the side of the clamping surface application of force.Alternatively, the change of this article collection configuration body is carried out during also can and/or passing in the rotation of article collection.
The special of the method according to this invention is characterised in that, arranges body or collects by changing article the body of arranging in the situation that the change article collect, and opposed vertical side and/or narrow side are being changed aspect its size respectively.When the body article being collected the body of arranging retrofit, vertically the length of side is increased like this, and the length of another vertical side or narrow side is reduced.For example vertically the length of side can be increased a following maximum, and half of the diameter of its approximate and article is corresponding, and the length of another vertical side or narrow side can be reduced a following amount, and it is less than half of the diameter of article.This size changes for being for example 2 * 3 article to be collected the remodeling of the body of arranging, and this remodeling process is to pass into the diagonal angle combination from the rectangle combination.In the situation that this remodeling, a side that has in two opposed vertical sides of the article of arranging successively its three front and back or drinking container is passed as follows with respect to having the article of arranging successively its three front and back or another vertical side of drinking container, that is: produce and to be hexagon and to pack the most closely, half the length change amount of amount of article diameter of overall bottom profile that this and article collect the body of arranging is corresponding.But, because this passing can make two 1/3rd to be listed on its width force together more closely, thus the length decrease on the narrow side of article collection also be associated with this remodeling, but this length decrease is significantly less than article diameter half.
2 * 3 article collect the body remodeling (namely being retrofit into the rectangle combination from the diagonal angle combination) in the opposite direction of arranging and are associated with mutually converse respectively length change amount.In the situation that being collected the body of arranging, 2 * 3 article are retrofit into the rectangle combination from the diagonal angle combination like this, vertically the length of side is reduced a following amount, it is approximately corresponding with half of the diameter of article, and the length of narrow side is increased a following amount, and this measures half less than the diameter of article.
But, in the situation that other article collect the body of arranging, for example in the situation that 3 * 3 combinations, according to form narrow side or vertically the article of side quantity and according to the direction of remodeling and/or the article collection arrangement selected respectively, other length change amount is feasible.
According to the present invention to the change of article collection configuration especially with in the situation that be associated in conjunction with the large numbers of items collection being compiled the optimization of pallet layer (so-called palletization) to the desired adjustment face of article collection.The diagonal angle body of arranging provides mechanically stable article to collect the body of arranging, these article collect the body of arranging and pack the most closely and have relatively less occupation of land demand owing to being hexagon in addition, and these article collect the body of arranging in the next shortcoming that demonstrates of Palletized situation, because produce untapped space or generation exceeds section in pallet layer.For this purpose, therefore large more options rectanglar arrangement body is more favourable, in the situation that the rectanglar arrangement body, the article of article collection are placed with 90 ° of arrangement of rule mutually, even still adopt this arranging when the occupation of land demand of this marshalling is a bit larger tham in the situation that arrange in the diagonal angle body.
The method according to this invention can be combined with the operation of article collection alternatively, in this method, these article collection that are used to form pallet layer are rotated and/or are passed simultaneously or during its remodeling, in order to arrange like this and lay the article collection that are transferred successively in a large number, that is: can form complete pallet layer.

The specific embodiment
Use identical Reference numeral for identical or element that play same function of the present invention.In addition, only illustrate in single accompanying drawing for general view in order to describe the necessary Reference numeral of accompanying drawing separately.Illustrated embodiment only shows as the example of design consideration equipment of the present invention how or the method according to this invention, and illustrated embodiment does not show as enclosed restriction.
The schematic plan of Fig. 1 a has illustrated in the first scheme article has been collected 10 arrange from the diagonal angle body 12(left sides) be transformed into so-called parallel arrangement body 14(the right) step.Shown in article collection 10 formed by six drinking container 16 that are cylinder shape altogether, these drinking container 16 gather together by the band 18 that encloses of the outside banding of horizontal winding article collection 10.This article collect the body of arranging and are also referred to as 3 * 2 article collection.Can be alternatively with enclose band 18 and/or with the handle 20 of choosing wantonly that is connected of outside banding or drinking container 16 contact banding article collection 10 up on upside up respectively.Article shown in the left side collect 10 the diagonal angle body 12 of arranging and are formed on the packed bulk density that has minimum aperture between container 16, but, configuration body for the layer on the plane of economy, for example for palletization, reason, shown in the article diagonal angles that the collect body of arranging be disadvantageous, therefore parallel arrangement body shown in the right or rectanglar arrangement body 14 are more favourable mostly for the formation of this pallet.
Schematically be suitable for all the following article that can imagine on the methodological principle of summary in the first scheme and collect the body of arranging in Fig. 1 a, it forms by at least one article with approximate all sides that are cylinder shape respectively and/or circular bottom profile that enclose that the hoop part gathers together by at least four.This article collection 10 can especially be placed in the zone that places section and/or transmit section or can be transferred.Article collect 10 and can be for example approximately be transmitted on the load-transfer device (not shown) and be transformed into rectanglar arrangement body 14 at this body 12 of can arranging from the diagonal angle on horizontal direction like this.
As can knowing from Fig. 1 a, carry out on the arrange body 12(left side, diagonal angle in the mechanism 21 that acts on article collect 10 opposed side on direction toward each other, be used for applying the adjustment power 23 that the longitudinal axis 17 approximately perpendicular to article 16 works by at least two) and rectanglar arrangement body 14(on the right of) between the article change that collects the body of arranging.In principle, can have different designs for the mechanism 21 that applies adjustment power 23.As illustrated by accompanying drawing, the mechanism 21 that is used for applying adjustment power 23 especially can be formed by clamping surface 22 that can transposition, and this clamping surface 22 can come feeding towards article collection 10 from least two opposed sides.At this, at least one clamping surface 22 can have boss and/or depressed part on the face on an outside that acts on article collection 10.
The schematic plan of Fig. 1 b has illustrated and article has been collected 10 arrange from the diagonal angle body 12(left sides in alternative plan) be transformed into parallel arrangement body 14(the right) step.Below only set forth and difference according to the first scheme of Fig. 1 a for easy.As can knowing from Fig. 1 b, the adjustment power 23 that works by longitudinal axis 17 that is used for applying approximately perpendicular to article 16 only can transposition mechanism 21 carry out on the arrange body 12(left side, diagonal angle) on the right of rectanglar arrangement body 14() and between article are collected the body of arranging change.Contrast with it ground, article collection 10 with mechanism 21 opposed side on be provided be used to the rigidity that applies confining force and abutment face 25 that can not move, this confining force is in the situation that pass article and collect the body of arranging and overcome adjustment power 23 and work.According to Fig. 1 b be used for apply the mechanism 21 of adjustment power 23 can be especially by can transposition and also can form towards the clamping surface 22 of article collection 10 feedings, this clamping surface 22 can have boss and/or depressed part in addition on the face on the outside that acts on article collection 10, and abutment face 25 can be for example by fixed base, fixed wall or like that formation.
As can knowing from the schematic plan of Fig. 2, the desired passing of article structure set or revise and can carry out by the following method, that is: article collection 10 by at least two toward each other transposition and also catch the clamping surface 22 of article collection 10 to load from the outside in opposed side.Clamping surface 22 also can be used in addition and article collection 10 is rotated and/or pass, in particular for preparation or set up desired pellet type layer.For this purpose, clamping surface 22 is set up respectively form fit and/or the frictional fit with the article that contact respectively 16 of article collection 10 after it is fed on the article collection outside, carries out accordingly for fixing article collection 10 with for the feeding of its configuration body change.
According to Fig. 2 a, clamping surface 22 is towards narrow side 24 feedings of article collection 10, and vertical side 26 of this article collection is approximately perpendicular to the surface of clamping surface 22 and be parallel to its sense of motion and aim at.Clamping surface 22 has respectively tenon triangular in shape, groove or contact pin 28, they are medially arranged and come as follows moulding, that is: they accurately match between two adjacent article 16 of narrow side 24 of article collection 10 and allow there to article collection 10 approximate shapes coordinate fixing, thereby the article 16 of placing that at first stagger can be become be used to the parallel and rectangular body of arranging of setting up rectangle combination 14, this is as illustrated in Fig. 2 b by continuing feeding.To adjust power 23 by clamping surface 22 and be delivered on the narrow side of article collection, in order to make remodeling become possibility.
Like this article collection 10 a) is being transformed into rectangle combination 14(Fig. 2 b from diagonal angle combination 12(Fig. 2) afterwards, clamping surface 22 can be again separated from one another, and this is as shown in Fig. 2 c, in order to make the transmission of article collection 10, for example be used to form pellet type layer or like that, become possibility.
Because drinking container 16 is formed by pet container usually and because enclose band 18 container 16 is gathered together under certain pressure, so usually can realize in the transformation between rectangle combination 14 and diagonal angle combination 12 shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the high power of fiting no problemly with can not causing enclosing not allowing of hoop part 18.
Alternatively, point to clamping surface 22 at the article 16 on the narrow side 24 of article collection 10 and have additional anti-slip coating 32 and/or structuring section 34 on its surface 30, it even can substitute contact pin 28 in case of necessity.In the situation that shown in operation, article collection 10 can be placed on here unshowned load-transfer device, sliding surface, pigeonholes or like that on.Clamping surface 22 can be especially to be configured to clamp jaw 40 in the mode shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3, and this clamps jaw feeding toward each other in the horizontal direction (referring to Fig. 3 b), in order to can clamp and again organize into groups in case of necessity article collection 10.By clamping surface 22 or clamp optional or contoured section, structuring section 34 and/or the anti-slip coating 32 that substitute on surface 30 of the sensing article collection 10 of jaw 40, can avoid or prevent as follows, contact in case that is: equipment and separately article collection 10 are clamped, just clamping surface 22 or clamping jaw 40 24 and/or 26 are slipped away outside the article collection.
The indicative icon of Fig. 3 again is illustrated in by mutual passing article 16 and changes method step in the situation of article structure set.Here can know, can be around upper load-bearing body 38 upper supports and the clamping jaw 40 that can pass in the horizontal direction of Suspension 36 rotation that can rotate, it carry clamping surface 22, and these clamping surface 22 foundation contact and the power transmission with article collection 10.In Fig. 3 a(feeding), Fig. 3 b(passes) separate with Fig. 3 c() shown in clamping jaw 40 together with the motion process of its clamping surface 22 and corresponding in the process shown in Fig. 2 a, Fig. 2 b and Fig. 2 c.
Except being used for the scheme of at least one article collection 10 of operation between the clamping surface 22 of feeding toward each other of describing before, the scheme picture that can also imagine other for example becomes double cloth body 42, as shown in the birds-eye view of Fig. 4.In this case, two article collection 10 placed side by side are changed in its configuration body, and this can utilize the clamping jaw 40 and the clamping surface 22 that correspondingly are equipped with to carry out.This clamping jaw 40 clamping surface 22 attached with it has the width of twice at least and has respectively at least two contact pin 28(Fig. 4 a), can be transformed into parallel configuration body 12(Fig. 4 b from diagonal angle configuration body 14 simultaneously thereby make two parallel article placed side by side collect 10).
Two schematic plan of Fig. 5 have illustrated vertical side of article collection 10 and the length change amount of narrow side, this length change amount can produce to the remodeling of article collection the time, 3 * 2 article collection for example, its vertical side is formed by the row that comprise the article 16 of arranging successively in three front and back, and its narrow side is formed by two article placed side by side 16.Again article are collected the 10 body 12(Fig. 5 that arrange from the diagonal angle a) be transformed into parallel arrangement body 14(Fig. 5 b as illustrating in Fig. 1 so there).Article collect 10 the diagonal angle shown in Fig. 5 a body 12 of arranging and form the packed bulk density (the so-called hexagon that is is packed the most closely) with the minimum aperture between container, but, reason for the plane layer set scheme of economy, this may be disadvantageous, can be therefore more favourable at the parallel arrangement body shown in Fig. 5 b or rectanglar arrangement body 14 for the formation of this pallet.
As can appreciiable by Fig. 5 a and Fig. 5 b, be changed at the outside dimension of this vertical side and narrow side.Body 12 has less than in the situation that the corresponding length specification x of the rectanglar arrangement body 14 of Fig. 5 b narrow side in the situation that arrange in the diagonal angle of Fig. 5 a
2Length x
1, the length y of vertical side of body 12 and arrange in the diagonal angle of Fig. 5 a
1Obviously greater than in the situation that the corresponding length y of the rectanglar arrangement body 14 of Fig. 5 b
2As can knowing from Fig. 5 a, size y
1Than size y
2Go out greatly following amount, half of itself and article diameter or container diameter is corresponding.Due to the passing direction of the article of the body 12 in the situation that arrange in the diagonal angle, at the length specification x of the narrow side of article collection 10
1And x
2Between residual quantity less.But generally speaking, article collect 10 bottom surface in the situation that arrange body 12 less than in the situation according to the rectanglar arrangement body of Fig. 5 b according to the diagonal angle of Fig. 5 a.
Two schematic plan of Fig. 6 have illustrated vertical side of another example of article collection 10 and the length change amount of narrow side, this length change amount can produce to article collection 10 remodeling the time, 3 * 3 article collection for example, its vertical side is formed by the row that comprise the article 16 of arranging successively in three front and back respectively.Shown in Figure 6 like this with article collect 10 from rectanglar arrangement body 14(Fig. 6 a) be transformed into be hexagon body 15(Fig. 6 b that arranges of packaged form the most closely), this realizes by the following method, that is: 1/3rd of relative two edge sides of the middle(-)third of article 16 row row are passed with following amount, and half of itself and article diameter is corresponding.By this way, collect at the article shown in Fig. 6 b the body 15 of arranging and form the packed bulk density (the so-called hexagon that is is packed the most closely) with the minimum aperture between container, but this can be disadvantageous for the reason of the layer on the plane of economy, can be therefore more favourable at the parallel arrangement body shown in Fig. 6 a or rectanglar arrangement body 14 for the formation of this pallet.
As illustrated by Fig. 6 a and Fig. 6 b, be changed at the outside dimension of this vertical side.Vertically side in the situation that the rectanglar arrangement body 14 of Fig. 6 a have greater than in the situation that the corresponding length specification x through passing and arrange more closely body 15 of Fig. 6 b
4Length x
