Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for operating the equipment being enclosed the article that cuffs keeps together by least one, and relate to corresponding method.
Background technology
In order to transmit object, mostly drinking container is assembled the light article collection with four, six or more containers, wherein, these containers can such as wrap up with shrink film and keep together in this case.Apply more and more continually or use following article collection, the utilization of these article collection is enclosed cuffs and is kept together and be equipped with handle.This kind of article collection relates generally to the article collection with even number part article, such as four formula article collection, six formula article collection or eight formula article collection.These article collection generally transmit with diagonal angle configuration body and carry out palletization.Particularly thisly so-called minimum position is required to angie type article collection, because this arrangement reveals for the information slip of the container in cylinder shape demonstrate minimum packed bulk density.But, less desirable effect may be there is in the Palletized situation of article collection with diagonal angle configuration body, concentrate this is because layer pattern (Lagenbilder) is arranged in respective article because container staggers and therefore also assembles in zoarium the not well-regulated edge of tool at article.This less desirable effect is also referred to as that so-called palletization is not enough or palletization is excessive.
In order to avoid this less desirable effect it is necessary that the article that diagonal angle can be enclosed hoop collect became linear configuration body before its palletization.
In order to operate article collection, be known to different devices.US 29 24 484 A discloses the folder jaw formula grabber for mentioning the marshalling comprising six sheet material tanks, these sheet material tanks are kept by jaw formula crawl arm respectively on two longitudinal sides, and the mandrel be medially entrenched between sheet material tank provides the connection of form fit, and avoid by this way the regular configuration body of sheet material tank inclination, slip away or unclamp.
DE 35 05 405 A1 disclose for operation object, there is the device that side direction catches 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 for being clamped in object between clamping body and centering finger.Clamping body is configured to following hollow body, and it can be expanded on the direction towards object to be operated by pressure medium.
Summary of the invention
Also do not have up to now knownly to allow amendment article structure set such as to simplify Palletized equipment for operating article collection or method.Therefore, primary and foremost purpose of the present invention is as follows, that is: following equipment and method are proposed, this equipment and method are eliminated this shortcoming and are allowed to change the configuration body of article collection before the palletization of article collection and thus article collection be transformed into other stable configuration body, so that reduction method cost and system cost in addition thus.
Object of the present invention utilize be used for by least four by least one enclose that cuffs keeps together, respectively have approximate in all sides of cylinder shape and/or the article collection that formed of the article of the bottom profile of circle rotating and/or operating during passing article collection and equipment for the formation of complete pallet layer is realizing.Described equipment have at least two that can install on opposed side on direction toward each other, for applying the mechanism of the adjustment power worked approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of article, collect arrangement body for change article.。In order to reach this object, one aspect of the present invention propose for by least four by least one enclose that cuffs keeps together, respectively have approximate in all sides of cylinder shape and/or the equipment that operates of the article collection that formed of the article of the bottom profile of circle.Also equipment according to the present invention can be utilized to process the article collection had by least one five, six of enclosing that cuffs keeps together or more article and operate.Alternatively, article energy collecting be enough placed on such as place section or transmit section region in or carry; Article energy collecting is enough such as transmitting in about horizontal direction of load-transfer device.According to first scheme of the present invention, equipment have at least two that can install on opposed side on direction toward each other or effect, for applying the mechanism of the adjustment power worked approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of article, especially becoming rectanglar arrangement body from diagonal angle arrangement structural reform for article being collected arrangement body or becoming diagonal angle arrangement body from rectanglar arrangement structural reform.In time referring to the description to this mechanism for applying adjustment power, be not so thus mean forcibly can the mechanism of transposition, clamping surface, clamping jaw or like this.Above-mentioned definition similarly comprise have only can regulate in side transposition mechanism, clamping surface, clamping jaw or scheme like this, and can be provided with in opposed upside such as with the fixing abutment face of fixing base, fixing wall or form like this or opposite face.In this case, when adjustment power is responsible for making article pass toward each other time, only adjustment power is applied to the mechanism that can move according to definition and this adjustment power is imported in article collection configuration body, and opposite face, base etc. form holding surface and be therefore delivered to by confining force on article collection configuration body.
In addition should should be mentioned that, above-mentioned mechanism, clamping surface, clamping jaw or like this be not must act on article collection to be changed in its arrangement forcibly whole longitudinal side or narrow side on, but when this mechanism such as only acts on the intermediate items in the multiple article of row time, also still can play a role according to equipment of the present invention.This can be such as the intermediate items of 1/3rd row (Dreierreihe) article on longitudinal side of article collection.And, fixed or can the opposite face of relatively transposition can on whole longitudinal side or narrow side of article collection or also only extend in a part for the longitudinal side of article collection or the narrow side of article collection alternatively, thus this opposite face can such as only be abutted in 1/3rd intermediate items arrange there.
In principle, can consider all following mechanical devices as this mechanism, it can be concentrated organizing into groups in order to article collection necessary adjustment power importing article.Alternatively, for the mechanism that applies adjustment power by can the clamping surface of transposition be formed, this clamping surface carrys out feeding from least two opposed sides towards article collection.In addition can arrange as follows, that is: the face of at least one clamping surface on the outside that acts on article collection have boss and/or depressed part.
As already mentioned, equipment can have at least two on direction toward each other can on opposed side transposition, the clamping surface that collects arrangement body for changing article.Therefore refer to as follows, that is: article can be collected arrangement body or article arrangement body to each other especially from diagonal angle arrangement structural reform become or be transformed into rectanglar arrangement body or from rectanglar arrangement structural reform become diagonal angle arrangement body.At least one clamping surface acts on the face on the outside of article collection at one has boss and/or depressed part, clamping surface can change the article arrangement of concentrating at article thus, especially changes between diagonal angle arrangement body and linear arrangement body or rectanglar arrangement body and also passable conversely.Be arranged on depressed part in the scope of the abutment face of clamping surface or boss makes to become possibility with longitudinal side of article collection to be operated or the mating of form fit at least in part of narrow side, thus make it possible to carry out desired configuration body and change.Alternatively, clamping surface can also have suitable coating, and this coating makes to set up respectively after clamping surface is fed on outside article collection to become possibility with the form fit of the article contacted respectively of article collection and/or frictional fit.
Operate article collection time, article energy collecting be enough placed on load-transfer device, clamping surface, pigeonholes or like this on.Clamping surface can especially be configured to clamp jaw as follows, and it can feeding toward each other in the horizontal direction, can clamp and again organize into groups article collection if desired.By pointing to the contoured portion of the clamping surface of article collection and/or anti-slip coating, can avoid or prevent as follows, that is: once make equipment and respective article collection clamped contact, clamping surface just from article collection outside slip from.
Advantageously use according to equipment of the present invention especially, to be carried out passing and/or retrofiting or itself carry out passing and/or retrofiting independent of its article collection in rotation and/or during passing by article collection, that is especially become parallel configuration body from diagonal angle configuration body.Usually be necessary that at external stability maintenance article collection, to prevent the less desirable skew of Individual Items for this reason.Body weight of being arranged at diagonal angle is newly organized into 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 concentrated at article is newly organized into additional the fixing and/or guide that diagonal angle arrangement body may need opposed side contact with clamping surface of article collection.Like this in embodiment of an apparatus according to the present invention, can give clamping jaw distribute other holding elements, these holding elements can with stagger about 90 ° be arranged in side direction upper feeding.
The structuring portion of clamping surface can such as construct as follows, that is: clamping surface has lug boss respectively, and this lug boss to be entrenched between adjacent article and to prevent its slippage in the horizontal direction.This lug boss such as can be configured to groove, tip triangular in shape or like this, corresponding space between they to the adjacent article concentrated at article conforms to, thus it is void-free largely fixing to make in article collection side on clamping surface by contact.Alternatively or addedly, clamping surface has anti-slip coating respectively, the connection of the frictional fit between can realizing thus outside clamping surface and the article collection that contacts.In addition, also can be provided with depressed part or contoured portion (Konturierungen) alternatively in clamping surface, they are placed on all sides, outside of contacted article, to set up the form fit with these article.
Except describe before for operating at least one can except the scheme of article collection between the clamping surface of feeding toward each other, other schemes can also be configured to such as become double cloth body, in the double cloth body of this one-tenth, two article energy collectings placed side by side are enough is respectively changed in its configuration body.According to embodiment, also can operate plural article collection if desired simultaneously.
Except mention for operate article collection equipment except, the present invention also comprise for by enclose by least one that cuffs keeps together have at least four approximate in all sides of cylinder shape and/or the corresponding method that operates of the article collection that formed of the article of the bottom profile of circle respectively, in this approach, adjustment power acts on article collection from opposed side respectively, article can be changed thus and collect arrangement body, especially become rectanglar arrangement body from diagonal angle arrangement structural reform or become diagonal angle arrangement body from rectanglar arrangement structural reform.Article can be collected so such as by least two can toward each other transposition and also the clamping surface catching article to collect in opposed side from outside is become other article collect arrangement body (especially diagonal angle arrangement body or rectanglar arrangement body).At least one clamping surface preferably has boss and/or depressed part.In addition, at least one clamping surface is set up and the form fit of the article contacted respectively of article collection and/or frictional fit after it is fed on outside article collection.Alternatively, article energy collecting be enough placed on load-transfer device, sliding surface, pigeonholes or like this on.Clamping surface can especially be configured to clamp jaw as follows, and it in the horizontal direction can feeding toward each other.In addition, structural configuration is carried out to clamping surface and/or adds coating, to avoid/to prevent outside article collection and/or to remain on slipping away of article that article concentrate.And, should again should be mentioned that at this, not must apply adjustment power from the opposed side of article collection in a symmetrical manner forcibly, but similarly comprise according to method of the present invention that have only can the scheme of adjustment power that applies of side, and can be provided with on opposed side such as with the fixing abutment face of fixing base, fixing wall or form like this or opposite face for transmitting the confining force contrary with adjustment power.
According to the present invention, article energy collecting is enough self to be passed and/or to be retrofited.That is, article energy collecting is enough especially changed to parallel configuration body from diagonal angle configuration body, otherwise also as the same if desired.At least being transformed into diagonal angle configuration body for being collected by article from parallel configuration body, can be required as follows, that is: fixed on the outside by article collection, is also fixed on and can't help on the side of clamping surface force.Alternatively, the change of this article collection configuration body also can be carried out in the rotation of article collection and/or during passing.
Special feature according to method of the present invention is, when change article collect arrangement body or by changing article, collect arrangement body, opposed longitudinal side and/or narrow side are changed respectively in its size.Like this when collecting arrangement body to body article and retrofiting, the length of longitudinal side is increased, and the length of another longitudinal side or narrow side is then reduced.The length of such as longitudinal side can be increased a following maximum, and it is approximate corresponding to the half of the diameter of article, and the length of another longitudinal side or narrow side can be reduced an amount as follows, and it is less than the half of the diameter of article.This size changes for being such as the remodeling 2 × 3 article being collected to arrangement body, and this retrofitting process passes diagonally combination from rectangle combination.When this remodeling, the side had in the opposed longitudinal side of two of article or the drinking container of arranging successively its three front and back is passed as follows relative to another longitudinal side with article or the drinking container of arranging successively its three front and back, that is: producing is that hexagon is packed the most closely, and the length knots modification that this and article collect the amount of the half of the article diameter of the overall bottom profile of body of arranging is corresponding.But because this passing can make two 1/3rd to be listed on its width force together more closely, so the length decrease on the narrow side of article collection is also associated with this remodeling, but this length decrease is significantly less than the half of article diameter.
2 × 3 article collect arrangement body remodeling in the opposite direction (being namely retrofit into rectangle combination from diagonal angle combination) and are associated with length knots modification mutually converse respectively.Like this when 2 × 3 article being collected arrangement body and being retrofit into rectangle combination from diagonal angle combination, the length of longitudinal side is reduced an amount as follows, it is approximately corresponding to the half of the diameter of article, and the length of narrow side is increased one and measures as follows, and this amount is less than the half of the diameter of article.
But, when other article collect arrangement body, such as when 3 × 3 combination, according to formed narrow side or longitudinal side article quantity and according to the direction of remodeling and/or the article collection arrangement selected respectively, other length knots modification is feasible.
According to the present invention, the change of article collection configuration especially with when combining and large numbers of items collection being compiled pallet layer (so-called palletization) is associated to the optimization in the adjustment face required by article collection.Diagonal angle arrangement body provides the article of mechanical stability to collect arrangement body, these article collect arrangement body and have relatively less occupation of land demand owing to packing the most closely in hexagon in addition, these article collect arrangement body and in Palletized situation, then demonstrate shortcoming, because produce untapped space or generation exceeds portion in pallet layer.For this purpose, therefore large more options rectanglar arrangement body is more favourable, when rectanglar arrangement body, the article of article collection are placed with 90 of rule ° of arrangement mutually, even if still adopt this arrangement when the occupation of land demand of this marshalling is a bit larger tham when body is arranged at diagonal angle.
Can be combined with the operation of article collection alternatively according to method of the present invention, in this approach, these article collection for the formation of pallet layer are rotated and/or are passed simultaneously or during its remodeling, lay to arrange like this article collection being transferred successively in a large number and, that is: complete pallet layer can be formed.

Detailed description of the invention
Identical Reference numeral is used for element that is identical or a phase same-action of the present invention.In addition, in order to general view only illustrates in a single fig in order to describe the necessary Reference numeral of respective accompanying drawing.Illustrated embodiment only shows as can how design consideration equipment of the present invention or the example according to method of the present invention, and illustrated embodiment does not show as enclosed restriction.
The schematic plan of Fig. 1 a describes and article is collected 10 to be transformed into so-called parallel arrangement body 14 (the right) step from diagonal angle arrangement body 12 (left side) in first scheme.Shown in article collection 10 formed by six drinking container 16 in 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 arrangement body and are also referred to as 3 × 2 article collection.Can alternatively with enclose band 18 and/or with respectively up banding or optional handle 20 that the outside of drinking container 16 that contacts connects banding article collection 10 up on upside.Article shown in the left side collect 10 diagonal angle arrangement body 12 be formed in the packed bulk density between container 16 with minimum aperture, but, for the configuration body of the layer of the plane of economy, such as palletization, reason, shown in the diagonal angle arrangement body that collects of article be disadvantageous, therefore for this pallet formation parallel arrangement body or rectanglar arrangement body 14 shown in the right be more favourable mostly.
The methodological principle of schematically summary in first scheme is in fig 1 a suitable for all article can imagined as follows and collects arrangement body, its by least four by least one enclose that cuffs gathers together have respectively approximate in all sides of cylinder shape and/or the article of the bottom profile of circle formed.This article collection 10 can especially be placed on place section and/or transmit section region in or can be transferred.Such article collect 10 and such as can be transmitted on load-transfer device (not shown) in about horizontal direction and be transformed into rectanglar arrangement body 14 at this body 12 of can arranging from diagonal angle.
As can knowing from Fig. 1 a, act on the opposed side that article collect 10 on direction toward each other by least two, for the mechanism 21 applying the adjustment power 23 worked approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 17 of article 16, the article carried out between diagonal angle arrangement body 12 (left side) and rectanglar arrangement body 14 (the right) collect the change of body of arranging.In principle, the mechanism 21 for applying adjustment power 23 can have different designs.As illustrated by accompanying drawing, especially can by can the clamping surface 22 of transposition be formed for the mechanism 21 applying adjustment power 23, this clamping surface 22 can carry out feeding from least two opposed sides towards article collection 10.At this, at least one clamping surface 22 face on the outside that acts on article collection 10 can have boss and/or depressed part.
The schematic plan of Fig. 1 b describes and article to be collected 10 to be transformed into parallel arrangement body 14 (the right) step from diagonal angle arrangement body 12 (left side) in alternative plan.Only set forth and the difference according to the first scheme of Fig. 1 a in order to easy below.As can knowing from Fig. 1 b, by only one the mechanism 21 of transposition can carry out collecting article the change of body of arranging between diagonal angle arrangement body 12 (left side) and rectanglar arrangement body 14 (the right) for the adjustment power 23 that applies to work approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 17 of article 16.In contrast, the side opposed with mechanism 21 of article collection 10 is provided with the rigidity for applying confining force and the abutment face 25 that can not move, this confining force overcomes adjustment power 23 when passing article and collecting arrangement body and works.According to Fig. 1 b for apply adjustment power 23 mechanism 21 can especially by can transposition and also can be formed towards the clamping surface 22 of article collection 10 feeding, this clamping surface 22 face on the outside acting on article collection 10 can have boss and/or depressed part in addition, and abutment face 25 can such as by fixed base, fixed wall or like thisly to be formed.
As the schematic plan from Fig. 2 can be known, the desired passing of article structure set or amendment can be carried out by the following method, that is: article collection 10 by least two can toward each other transposition and also catch the clamping surface 22 of article collection 10 to load in opposed side from outside.Clamping surface 22 also can be used in making article collection 10 rotate and/or pass in addition, in particular for the pellet type layer desired by preparation or foundation.For this purpose, clamping surface 22 sets up and the form fit of the article 16 contacted respectively of article collection 10 and/or frictional fit respectively after it is fed on outside article collection, carries out accordingly for fixing article collection 10 and the feeding that changes for its configuration body.
According to Fig. 2 a, clamping surface 22 towards narrow side 24 feeding of article collection 10, longitudinal side 26 of this article collection approximately perpendicular to clamping surface 22 surface and be parallel to its sense of motion to aim at.Clamping surface 22 has tenon triangular in shape, groove or contact pin 28 respectively, they are medially arranged and come shaping as follows, that is: between their accurate match to the adjacent article 16 of two of narrow side 24 of article collection 10 and allow there to article collection 10 approximate shapes coordinate fixing, thus the article 16 can placed first staggering by continuing feeding become the parallel and rectangular arrangement body for setting up rectangle combination 14, this is illustrated by Fig. 2 b.By clamping surface 22, adjustment power 23 is delivered on the narrow side of article collection, to make remodeling become possibility.
Like this by article collection 10 from diagonal angle combination 12 (Fig. 2 a) be transformed into rectangle combination 14 (Fig. 2 b) after, clamping surface 22 can be again separated from one another, this as shown in Figure 2 c, to make the transmission of article collection 10, such as the formation of pellet type layer or like this, become possibility.
Because drinking container 16 is usually formed by pet container and is gathered together under a certain pressure by container 16 because enclose band 18, so the transformation between rectangle combination 14 and diagonal angle combination 12 in fig. 1 and 2 usually can be no problem realize, can not cause enclosing not allowing of cuffs 18 and high fit power.
Alternatively, the clamping surface 22 pointing to the article 16 on the narrow side 24 of article collection 10 has additional anti-slip coating 32 and/or structuring portion 34 on its surface 30, and it even can substitute contact pin 28 if desired.When shown operation, article collection 10 can be placed on here unshowned load-transfer device, sliding surface, pigeonholes or like this on.Clamping surface 22 can especially be configured to clamp jaw 40 in the mode shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3, and this clamping jaw in the horizontal direction can feeding toward each other (see Fig. 3 b), can clamp and again organize into groups article collection 10 if desired.By the contoured portion that is optional or that substitute on the surface 30 of the sensing article collection 10 of clamping surface 22 or clamping jaw 40, structuring portion 34 and/or anti-slip coating 32, can avoid or prevent as follows, that is: once make equipment and respective article collection 10 clamped contact, just clamping surface 22 or clamping jaw 40 24 and/or 26 to be slipped away outside article collection.
The indicative icon of Fig. 3 illustrates the method step when by mutually passing article 16 and changing article structure set again.Here can know, the upper load-bearing body 38 that can rotate around the Suspension 36 that can rotate supports and the clamping jaw 40 that can pass in the horizontal direction, it carry clamping surface 22, and this clamping surface 22 is set up and the contact of article collection 10 and power transmission.Corresponding to the process shown in Fig. 2 a, Fig. 2 b and Fig. 2 c together with the motion process of its clamping surface 22 with the clamping jaw 40 shown in Fig. 3 c (separation) at Fig. 3 a (feeding), Fig. 3 b (passing).
Except describe before for except the scheme that can operate at least one article collection 10 between the clamping surface 22 of feeding toward each other, the scheme picture can also imagining other such as 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 that is correspondingly equipped with and clamping surface 22 to carry out.This clamping jaw 40 clamping surface 22 attached with it has the width of at least twice and has at least two contact pin 28 respectively (Fig. 4 a), thus make two parallel article placed side by side collect 10 can be transformed into parallel configuration body 12 (Fig. 4 b) from diagonal angle configuration body 14 simultaneously.
Two schematic plan of Fig. 5 describe longitudinal side of article collection 10 and the length knots modification of narrow side, this length knots modification can produce when the remodeling to article collection, 3 × 2 article collection such as, its longitudinal side is formed by the row comprising the article 16 of arranging successively three front and back, and its narrow side is formed by two article 16 placed side by side.Again illustrate as in FIG so there and article are collected 10 (Fig. 5 a) is transformed into parallel arrangement body 14 (Fig. 5 b) from diagonal angle arrangement body 12.Article collect 10 in fig 5 a shown in diagonal angle arrangement body 12 form the packed bulk density (so-called pack the most closely in hexagon) with minimum aperture between containers, but, for the reason of the plane layer rendezvous scheme of economy, this may be disadvantageous, therefore for this pallet formation in figure 5b shown in parallel arrangement body or rectanglar arrangement body 14 can be more favourable.
Appreciiable, can be changed at the outside dimension of this longitudinal side and narrow side as by Fig. 5 a and Fig. 5 b.Narrow side has the corresponding length specification x when rectanglar arrangement body 14 be less than at Fig. 5 b when diagonal angle arrangement body 12 of Fig. 5 a 2length x 1, and the length y of longitudinal side of the diagonal angle of Fig. 5 a arrangement body 12 1then obviously be greater than the corresponding length y when the rectanglar arrangement body 14 of Fig. 5 b 2.As can knowing from Fig. 5 a, size y 1than size y 2go out greatly following amount, it is corresponding to the half of article diameter or container diameter.Due to the passing direction of the article when diagonal angle arrangement body 12, at the length specification x of the narrow side of article collection 10 1and x 2between residual quantity less.But the bottom surface that generally speaking, article collect 10 is less than the situation at the rectanglar arrangement body according to Fig. 5 b when diagonal angle arrangement body 12 according to Fig. 5 a.
Two schematic plan of Fig. 6 describe longitudinal side of another example of article collection 10 and the length knots modification of narrow side, this length knots modification can produce when retrofiting to article collection 10,3 × 3 article collection such as, its longitudinal side is formed by the row comprising the article 16 of arranging successively three front and back respectively.Shown in Figure 6ly like this article are collected 10 (Fig. 6 a) is transformed into the arrangement body 15 (Fig. 6 b) of the packaged form the most closely in hexagon from rectanglar arrangement body 14, this realizes by the following method, that is: 1/3rd row of relative two edge sides of middle(-)third row of article 16 are to measure passing as follows, and it is corresponding to the half of article diameter.By this way, article in figure 6b collect the packed bulk density (so-called is that hexagon is packed the most closely) that arrangement body 15 forms the minimum aperture had between containers, but for the layer of the plane of economy reason this can be disadvantageous, therefore for this pallet formation parallel arrangement body shown in Fig. 6 a or rectanglar arrangement body 14 can be more favourable.
As illustrated by Fig. 6 a and Fig. 6 b, be changed at the outside dimension of this longitudinal side.Longitudinal side have when the rectanglar arrangement body 14 of Fig. 6 a be greater than when Fig. 6 b through pass and also arrange more closely body 15 corresponding length specification x 4length x 3, and the length y of another longitudinal side of the rectanglar arrangement body 14 of Fig. 6 a 3then be significantly less than when Fig. 6 b through pass and also more closely arrange body 15 corresponding length y 4.As can knowing from Fig. 6 b, size y 4be greater than size y 3measure as follows for one, it is corresponding to the half of article diameter or container diameter.Due to the passing direction of the article 16 when arrangement body 15, at the length specification x of another longitudinal side of article collection 10 3and x 4between residual quantity less.The bottom surface of article collection 10 but the bottom surface that generally speaking, article collect 10 when the arrangement body 15 packed more closely according to Fig. 6 b is less than at the rectanglar arrangement body 14 according to Fig. 6 a.
The diagram of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 illustrates special feature of the present invention respectively, and this is characterised in that the feasibility that can change article and collect arrangement body.When from rectanglar arrangement body 14 (Fig. 5 b, Fig. 6 a) be retrofit into diagonal angle arrangement body 12 (Fig. 5 a) or with in hexagon the most closely packaged form arrangement body 15 (Fig. 6 b) or also passable conversely, opposed longitudinal side or narrow side carry out changing or passing toward each other respectively as follows in its size, thus article collection configuration body is changed.Other effects of the remodeling of arrangement body are collected: the length y of a longitudinal side increases, and the length x of another longitudinal side or narrow side then reduces as article.
With reference to preferred implementation, invention has been described.But, can also imagine as follows for technical personnel, that is: can change of the present invention and change be carried out under the prerequisite of protection domain not departing from claims.
