DE2833526A1 - Coil roll packing system - with rolls assembled into layers and counted before banding and wrapping in flexible material - Google Patents

Abstract

A number of rolls are first assembled alongside each other to form a layer, above which other layers are then formed to produce a packet. A band is then placed round the packet, which is finally wrapped in the flexible material. The rolls to be packed can be delivered by the conveyor belt of a roll-forming station, and the rolls and layers can be counted during assembly of the packet. The band can be placed round the latter at right angles to the roll axes.

Description

Method of packaging coin rolls and

suitable device for this.

The invention relates to a method for packaging coin rolls In packaging material, especially in flexible packaging material.

Since the demand for and circulation of coins is very large, they are seldom longer Time coin roll machines In use, dle a specified number of coins into one Unite roll and wrap in wrapping material, usually paper, on the coin type and the value of this reel is already printed on or when the reel is issued is printed from the coin roll machine.

While this process is largely automated, the packaging takes place and the transport of the coin rolls still in a completely conventional way by a certain number of such coin rolls that correspond to a certain value - for DM 5, -, DM 2, - and DM 1, - coins for example DM 1,000, - - in linen - or jute sacks packed, weighed and transported and stored in this form will. The disadvantage of the traditional method is that it is still with very a lot of manual labor is involved, counting the coin rolls by hand and then usually the correct role and value number is checked by weight. In addition, the storage and stock keeping of such wallets is not optimal because they are filled with an entirely indefinite shape.

Another problem is that the jute sacks are always returned Is problematic and losses occur.

The invention is therefore based on these disadvantages to avoid the packaging of coin rolls largely to the human influence withdraw and thus the security measures previously required are superfluous close and the required number of coin rolls in overview of such and available in a stackable form.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a method of packaging of coin rolls in packaging material, especially flexible packaging material solved that it is marked that initially several coin rolls to etner Coin roll layers next to one another and then several coin roll layers are merged into a coin roll package one above the other, the coin roll package strapped and then wrapped in the flexible packaging material.

The advantage of this procedure is that in this way and way, a cuboid body is obtained from the coin rolls, which through the essential step of strapping is fixed in it and so the necessary Gains cohesion for the subsequent wrapping. This is done all the way around, that is expedient with at least one approx.

10 mm wide tape made of thermoplastic material below Welding takes place, preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the coin rolls.

The coin rolls are expediently taken over directly by the coin roll machine and fed from this by a conveyor belt to a coin roll pack formler station, In which the procedure outlined above is carried out. Since the performance of the new method with regard to the number of items to be wrapped in one packaging process If the coin rolls are very large, the coin rolls from a total of up to five coin rolling machines combined and fed to the coin roll packet forming station.

It is useful when merging the coin rolls to individual Layers the number of coin rolls and when the coin roll layers are brought together to the coin roll package the number counting the coin roll layers, which can be done with a mechanical counter, but preferably with a photo cell with subsequent evaluation, i.e. after reaching the predetermined Number of coin rolls in one coin roll pocket, these open and down is lowered so as to prevent the formation of the coin roll layer above it enable. At the same time, the photocell also lowers the support table controlled around a coin roll layer. The count of the individual coin roll layers takes place again with a photocell. Then if the predetermined number of Coin roll layers is reached, the evaluation device also controls the ejection slide, which feeds the fully formed coin roll package to the coin roll package strapping station. It is or the like.

very essential that lateral guide plates /, of which at least etnes adjustable, i.e. adaptable to the dimensions of the coin roll package is to prevent the coin roll pack from falling apart.

The wrapping of the coin roll package after it has been formed and strapped can be done in the most varied of ways. As the coin roll package through the strapping has become manageable, it can, for example, in a packaging box be inserted. A preferred option is to use the coin roll package To hit in the power adapter, which is stretched and opened due to its great strength the number and value of the packaged coin types can be printed.

However, it is particularly advantageous to convert the coin roll package into thermoplastic Shrink plastic film, preferably those based on polyethylene. It is well known that a number of types of polyethylene and copolymers have made Polyethylene and other plastics such as polyvinyl acetate have a high shrinkage capacity when heated and wrap around the goods to be wrapped like a skin. To this The purpose of the strapped coin roll package, which is now stable in itself, is one Coin roll package wrapping station fed, which is done in a simple manner that the following Coin roll package when pushed into the coin roll strapping station the previous one out of this and feeds an infeed belt to the coin roll wrapping station Quite essential for the method according to the invention for packaging coin rolls Is a device suitable for this, which advantageously consists of a coin roll packet forming station, a coin roll package strapping station and a coin roll package wrapping station consists.

The coin roll packet forming station has the following preferred ones Training on: It consists expediently of a coin roller conveyor belt for dle individual coin rolls. The coin roller conveyor belt expediently takes over the coin rollers directly from one or preferably even several coin roll machines and leads ste a coin roll layer forming zone, which is supported by two support plates that can be moved away to the side is formed. To the side, the coin roll layer forming zone is through two Angle plates limited, which in your distance to the length: the coin rolls adjustable are. In the direction of conveyance of the coin rolls, i.e. in the direction of travel of the coin roll conveyor belt the coin roll layer forming zone is delimited by a stop against which eln The plunger works and so coin roll for coin roll against the stop or the previous one Coin roll presses and thus forms a closed coin roll layer. The attack is preferably also adjustable to a specific number of rollers.

Below the support plates that can be moved away towards the settle are located downward movable support table, on which by lowering each one Coin roll layer builds up the coin roll package in layers to the desired height.

The coin roll packet forming station is assigned an ejector, which, after formulation, feeds the coin roll package to the coin roll package strapping station. It is obvious that here the support plates and which can be moved away sideways the lowerable support table which is essential for its function and importance first to form the coin roll slot in a horizontal direction, but then in the vertical direction through the lateral removal of the support plates and lowering of the support table in order to allow the construction of the coin roll pack by one layer each.

As both in the formulation of the coin roll layers and in the structure of the coin roll package and the respective number of coin rolls or coin roll layers If dependent work is required, these work steps are controlled and counted preferably via photocells with subsequent evaluation. The photocells are expediently between a feed sheet inclined towards the coin roll layer forming zone, on which the coin rolls released by the coin roll conveyor belt are placed on the coin roll layer forming zone rolls and the coin roll layer forming zone on the one hand and between the coin roll layer on the one hand Formlerzone and support table arranged on the other hand.

The strapping station for coin roll packs is useful and essential Functional parts a wrapping tape supply roll, can encompass the coin roll package Strapping bracket and a return device for tensioning the strapping. By shooting the strap into the strap, the strap becomes guided around the coin roll package perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the coin rolls, according to Lead out of the Umrelfungsbügel pulled taut by the return device and locked in a suitable manner.

A plastic band is also preferred as the strapping band made of a thermoplastic such as polyethylene, because its ends are on easy way weld together by melt friction leave and do not apply such a band. Any other strapping material can also be used Considered are such as steel tape, wire or textile tape and the fastener clipping, knotting or welding the belden in a suitable manner Ends of the strap can be achieved.

To ensure that the coin roll package, which is before strapping still has cohesion, does not lose its cuboid shape, presses appropriately Elne pressure plate from above onto the coin roll package and fixes it during the strapping in its shape and position, with this pressure plate in front of or behind the strapping can be arranged.

The essential function of the Umrelfungsstatton is that Coin roll package can be handled for the subsequent wrapping in packaging material to make and to guarantee its cohesion.

The coin roll wrapping station is the preferred wrapping in thermoplastic plastic film from a feed belt for feeding the strapped Münzrol lenpaketes, at least one supply roll for the film wrapping material, Schwelßbalken for welding the film envelope after the envelope and a drain belt for the wrapped coin roll package. The film wrapping material can expediently from two supply rolls are fed, with the two tracks during the welding process be welded to a continuous film web forming a single film curtain.

The coin roll wrapping station can be used when using other wrapping materials adapt these materials in a simple manner. When hitting in power adapter Using suitable devices, the Kraft paper would be turned over around the edges of the coin roll pack.

With the preferred use of thermoplastic plastic film The wrapping station for the coin roll pack is expediently a shrink tunnel as the wrapping material downstream, in which the plastic film becomes plastic due to the action of heat and slch in the heat and thus the coin roll package in so excellent Fixed in a way that it can withstand any stress during transport and storage Special advantage of shrinking it also shows that it is theft-proof Packaging is preserved because removing even one roll will destroy it of said envelope means.

The shrink tunnel is expediently still a cooling station and possibly downstream of a labeling device. Because of the transparency of the plastic roll but can, in a very practical manner, be a paper stating the type of coin and its value of the package, packing date and similar information in a suitable place be shrunk and is so against damage, falsification and the like. from the outside protected.

The advantages of the method and the device according to the invention Compared to the previous packaging In jute sacks are obvious and exist In particular, that apart from one operator and maintenance person for the device no manpower is required, security is increased and the coin rolls are used Combined into cuboid, stackable and easily overlapped packages and thus transport and storage are considerably increased. aside from that Plastic film and kraft paper are much less expensive as packaging materials as jute sacks.

It goes without saying that the individual movements like the actuation of the plunger for the individual coin rolls, the lowering of the support table and ejecting the coin roll pack with any known drive means causes can be, i.e. by motorized, hydraulic or pneumatic drive. It it is also self-evident that the device in its individual parts the different dimensions of the coin rolls depending on the type of coin rolled and designed to be easily adaptable to the different dimensions of the coin roll packs can be.

The procedure7 becomes the device and its essential function in the following schematic drawings of a preferred example explained without the subject of the application on this special Ausführungsbeispiei is limited.

Fig. 1 shows the entire device for packing coin rolls in plan view, Fig. 2 shows the coin roll packet forming station, the coin roll packet strapping station, the coin roll package wrapping station and the downstream shrink tunnel in side view - with a coin roll package in the coin roll strapping station, Fiq. 3 shows the Coin roll packet forming station also in side view, but perpendicular to the view 2, 4 shows a packet of coin rolls shrunk in plastic film.

The coin rolls 5 output by coin roll machines 25 are from the coin roll conveyor belt 4, which has compartments 26 for dle individual coin rolls 5, the Münzrollepaket-Formierstation 1 supplied and roll over a chute 27 the laterally feasible support plates 7, on each of which a coin roll layer 8 is formed. The photocell 15, which is located between the coin roller conveyor belt 4 and Coin roll layer forming zone 6 counts the number of rolls rolling on the chute 27 Coin rolls 5 and controls the actuated by a motor 28 plunger 11, the dle individual Coin rolls 5 against the stop 10 or elne previous coin roll 5 presses and so elne contiguous coin roll layer 8 with previously set Width, i.e. number of coin rolls, forms 5. For this purpose the stop 10 is on different rolls of the coin roll layer 8 and thus for different coins adjustable. The limiting angle plates 9 guide the coin rolls 5 on their end faces.

Once a coin roll layer 8 of the desired number of coin rolls 5 and the relevant width is formed - controlled via that of the photocell 15 downstream counter, not shown - the support plates 7 to the side led away, the coin roll layer 8 comes to rest on the support table 12 and this is adjusted with the aid of the motorized spindle adjustment 29 via the spindle 30 moved down by the thickness of a coin roll layer 8. This process repeats so often until the photocell 16 and a downstream one, also not shown Counter the number of coin roll layers required for a coin roll pack 13 8 established and thus the coin roll package 13 with the required number Coin rolls 5 is formed. The Auflagettsch 12 is then with the same top side In one level with the sliding table 32. The one downstream of the photocell 16 does not The evaluation device shown then actuates the discharge valve via a motor 31 14, which the coin roll pack 13 on the shifting table 32 of the Umrelfungstation 2 pushes, the coin roll package 13 on the longitudinal sets of the coin rolls 5 of lateral guide plates 39 is performed.

In the coin roll packet strapping station 2, the coin rolls 5 of the coin roll pack 13 held in place by a pressure plate 19. That from a strapping tape supply roll 17 withdrawn strapping tape 18, a polyethylene tape of 8 mm width and a thickness of 120 / u, wtrd with help of the hoop 38 out around the coin roll package 13, perpendicular to the axial direction of the coin rolls 5, pulled taut with the aid of a return clutch and the ends are removed connected by melt friction. The coin rolls 5 are now in their position to each other fixed so that the pressure plate 19 can be loosened and the coin roll package 13 can no longer fall apart even without a lateral guide plate 39.

The strapped coin roll pack 13 is now transferred via an infeed belt 20 the coin roll packet wrapping station 3 and runs there into one of the two Supply rolls 21 coming Follenvorhang 33 made of polyethylene shrink film a, the guided around the coin roll pack 13 and welded off with the aid of the welding bars 22 will. At the same time, there is a new film curtain 33 for the next package of coin rolls 13 formed.

The discharge belt 23 transports this with a band made of plastic film wrapped coin roll pack 13 further and transfers it to the tunnel conveyor belt 34 on which the coin roll package 13 is passed through a shrink tunnel 24.

In doing so, the plastic film is also placed around the previously open ones End faces of the coin roll pack 13 around, so that this wriggles up to one Berelch 37 in the middle of the star surface is completely covered by plastic film. Downstream of the shrink tunnel 24 is the cooling station 35 and a labeling device 36. The fully packaged and labeled coin roll package is removed from an outfeed belt 40 13 then fed to a means of transport or the like.
