Description

Device for closing barrels The invention relates to a Barrel locking device for filled barrels whose work area is not just about tightening the barrel tire, but includes all the work required to close the barrels.

According to the invention, a tire fitting machine is used for this purpose or barrel press of any type in the transport route for bringing in and out of the filled barrels of an automatic transport device belonging to the device switched on a special lid inserting machine. It has been customary so far, the onset of the lid or pushing it in by hand or by the tire fitting machine to be carried out in a special process. For this work it was closing the barrels required an additional time. Individual self-acting lid push-in devices were not known until now. o The device according to the invention has the advantage that the additional time previously required to push in the lid is saved is, as the pushing in of the lid on the independent, automatically acting Lid inserting machine takes place at the same time as a previous drum is closed by the tire fitting machine. Another advantage is that no additional manpower is required to operate the device are. The individual processes, such as inserting the lid, pushing it in and closing it of the barrels, take place in succession by mechanisms operating at the same time.

In .der drawing is an example of an embodiment of a locking device according to the invention, namely Fig. i shows the device in elevation and Fig. 2 in plan view.

The whole process consists of the three stations a, b, c. At station a, the barrel i is on a runway 2, at station b on a lid driving press g, at station c on a table q. .a barrel pressing and tire pulling machine. On a. subsequent roller conveyor 5, the barrel leaves the closing device and 'can be continued as desired. The three stations a, b, c are connected by a common transport device, which in the exemplary embodiment mainly consists of two horizontally running transport chains 6, 7 with sprockets 8, 9, io, ii.

On the chains 6, 7, the stations a, b, c grippers 12 are arranged at a precise distance from one another. These grippers 12 each grasp a barrel on each station and gradually bring it to the next station. When the transport device is actuated, one barrel is pushed from station a to station b, another from station b to station c and a third from station c onto the discharge track 5 at the same time. When moving the barrel from station a to b, a new barrel runs simultaneously on runway 2 of station a. The transport device is advantageously designed in such a way; -that- ° it automatically comes to a standstill as soon as the barrels have shifted the distance between the stations. As soon as the movement is increased. has heard, in station c, the lid 14 is loosely placed on the barrel i and the lid driving press located in station b is engaged.

When inserting the lid, the table 3 with the barrel i is raised against a fixed plate 13 so far until this plate 13 pushes the bottom 14 into the interior of the barrel head up to the correct position in the rear sight. The table movement is then automatically reversed until table 3 is automatically stopped again in its initial position.

'In the meantime the operator at station c has the barrel pressing and Tire fitting machine engaged in a known manner, In this device. the table 4 with the barrel i pressed into a press ring 15, then the head tire placed by hand and after opening the press ring 15, the barrel continues against the upper one The pressure plate 16 is allowed to start running for the purpose of firm tightening of the head tire. After lowering of the table 4 up to the starting position is also the work process on station c done, the - operator can - engage - the - transport device, and the whole game can repeat itself again.

Details of the transport device as well as by the Transport device connected machines-can from the embodiment. any differ. The only important thing for the subject of the invention is to do the whole thing Closing, 'bangs in three operations of the type described and their use the mechanical transport device working together step by step. By the division of the work process into several - at the same time on neighboring stations actuated individual work processes and -by the mechanical movement of the heavily filled drums becomes a previously unknown high work performance when closing achieved.
