Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for strapping an object with a band according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the band guide channel is usually a single machine part which is dimensioned in such a way that the largest possible object to be strapped for the user can be accommodated in the working opening left free by the band guide channel.
  • This design has disadvantages both for the manufacturer of the device and for the user. If the manufacturer wants to respond to user requests, he must manufacture tape guide channels of various sizes and keep them in stock. For the user, however, a lot of time is wasted in the strapping operations if the objects to be strapped are considerably smaller than the existing tape guide channel would allow; because with each strapping enough strap length has to be advanced until it has wrapped around the object at least once in the strap guide channel, after which - when the strap is stretched around the object - a larger part is pulled back again. If the user wants to avoid this loss of time, he has to replace the existing - too large - tape guide channel with a smaller one and possibly have to procure this from the manufacturer of the device first. In addition, when replacing the one tape guide channel with one with different dimensions, there is a not inconsiderable amount of changeover time.
  • the proposed device has the features defined in the characterizing part of patent claim 1. Due to the modular construction of the band guide channel from successively arranged, detachably coupled segments, it is possible, for example, through standardization of the segments, both for the manufacturer and for the user of the device, to largely adapt the band guide channel to different dimensions of the objects to be strapped in one to achieve significantly shorter changeover times. On the manufacturer side, a comparatively small number of segments must also be kept in stock in order to meet practically all requirements with regard to the tape guide channel.
  • the device 10 shown in FIG. 1 has a basic unit 11, in which a supply, for example a spool 12 of a strapping band 13 is arranged, which is pulled off by a pull-off and feed device 14 and advanced in the direction of the arrows 15 through a band guide channel 16, until the leading end of the band 13 arrives at a clamping device 17 and is held there.
  • the belt guide channel 16 spans portal-like the upper surface of the base unit 11, which is designed as a work table 18, and leaves a work opening 19 in which there is an object 20 to be strapped on the work table 18.
  • the pull-off and feed unit 14 reverses and thus tensions the belt 13, which is released by the belt guide channel 16, around the object 20.
  • a closing and cutting device 21 comes into operation, which connects the overlapping regions of the band 13 to one another, for example by welding, and then cuts the band between the connection point and the pull-off and feed unit 14.
  • the band guide channel 16 is constructed from a multiplicity of segments 22, 23, the segments 22 being a rectilinear section and the segments 23 being, for example, a circular section of the band guide channel 16 spanning 90 ° form.
  • the segments 22 and 23 are detachably coupled to one another in a simple manner.
  • 2-4 shows a first embodiment of a segment 22. It consists of an essentially cuboid base body 24, which is delimited by two flat end faces 25, 26 standing at right angles to the direction of advance (arrow 15) of the band when it is advanced.
  • the base body 24 there is a tape guide section 27 which, as can be seen particularly clearly from FIG. 4, has a rectangular cross section and tapers in the direction of advance 15 of the tape, both in height and in width.
  • the band guide section 27 in the segment 22 is delimited by two mutually extending slats 28, 29, which in this example are made in one piece with that made of a plastic, for example a polyacetal such as “Delrin” 0 or "Hostaform" ° manufactured base body 24.
  • the slats 28, 29 can, however, also be made of a different material and can be fastened on the base body 24 in a suitable manner.
  • the lamellae 28, 29 can be elastically bent out, as indicated by dashed lines in FIG. 4 on the left, so that they allow the band to slip out of the band guide section 27 during the tensioning process.
  • two connecting arms 30, 31 are formed on the base body 24, which protrude at right angles above the end face 25 and each have a ratchet tooth 32 or 33 at their ends.
  • the arms 30, 31 have a rectangular cross section, the longer side (cf. FIG. 2) of which is somewhat less than the thickness of the base body 24.
  • the arms 30, 31 can be spread apart somewhat from one another against their own resilience.
  • a groove 34, 35 extending from the end face 26.
  • the dimensions of the grooves 34, 35 in terms of width, depth and length correspond as precisely as possible to the corresponding dimensions of the connecting arms 30, 31.
  • the grooves 34, 35 each end in a notch 36, 37 which extends transversely to the latter and which accommodates one of the ratchet teeth adjoining segment 22 or, as will be shown later, serve an adjoining segment 23.
  • a further segment 22 can be added to the segment 22 shown in FIG. 3 from above by the further segment 22 with its end face 26 pointing downward the segment shown is pressed.
  • the arms 30, 31 are pushed apart thanks to the shape of the pawl teeth 32, 33 and the pawl teeth slide along the grooves 34, 35 of the further segment until they finally snap into its notches 36, 37. Since the arms 30, 31 fit exactly into the grooves 34, 35, the end face 26 of the further segment 22 comes to lie flat and flat on the end face 25 of the segment 22 shown.
  • the base body 24 'of the segment 23 is not cuboid in accordance with its arcuate band guide section 27', but its thickness corresponds exactly to the width of the base body 24 of FIGS. 2-4.
  • the base body 24 ' also ends in two flat front or S t oss vom 25, 26, but are at right angles to each other.
  • the tape guide section 27 ' is designed here as an inwardly open, circular arc-shaped, wide groove, which describes an angle of 90 °.
  • This band guide section 27 ' is not delimited on the inside, ie on its side facing the working opening 19, by lamellae, since these are not required.
  • the width and the depth of the groove forming the tape guide section 27 ′ corresponds approximately to the average width and the average height of the tape guide sections 27 of the segments 22.
  • the arms 30, 31 with the latches 32, 33 extend from the end or butt surface 25, and the grooves 34, 35, which end in the notches 36, 37, from the end or butt surface 26.
  • the effective length of the tape guide sections 27 and 27 ' is preferably the same length among each other. This enables the manufacturer to produce tape guide channels of any format with only two types of segments and the user to adapt the tape guide channel 16 of his existing device 10 to the respective needs in a few simple steps.
  • the segments 22 and 23 described with reference to FIGS. 2-7 are readily suitable in particular for tape guide channels 16 of small and medium formats.
  • large-format tape guide channels when using the previously described segments, particularly if a very large number of segments 22 are lined up in the upper cross member of the tape guide channel 16 (see FIG. 1), a certain deflection of this cross member inwards can hardly be avoided. Although this deflection has hardly any negative effects on the proper functioning, it can nevertheless be perceived as annoying.
  • the segments shown in FIGS. 8-12 and in FIG. 13 are provided for these cases.
  • FIGS. 8-10 shows a segment 122 for straight-line guidance and FIGS. 11, 12 a segment 123 for arc-shaped guidance.
  • FIGS. 11, 12 shows a segment 122 for straight-line guidance and FIGS. 11, 12 a segment 123 for arc-shaped guidance.
  • the same reference numerals are used for functionally corresponding elements as in FIGS. 2-7.
  • the base body of the element 122 is supplemented by two integrally formed end flanges 38, 39, the flat, free end surfaces of which form the end or abutment surfaces 25 and 26, which are thus considerably larger in their extension than in FIGS. 2-4.
  • the end flanges 38, 39 are connected to one another by an integrally formed stiffening rib 40, which in turn is penetrated by a continuous bore 41 opening into the end or abutment surfaces 25, 26.
  • the connecting arms 30, 31 with the latching pawls 32, 33 protrude from the end or butt surface 25, while the grooves 34, 35, which end in the notches 36, 37, extend from the end or butt surface 26 the.
  • the segment 123 of FIGS. 11, 12 essentially differs from the segment 23 of FIGS. 5-7 in that its base body is reinforced by two massive, integrally formed end blocks 42 and 43, the flat free end surfaces of which are the extent of the end or butt surfaces Increase 25 or 26 considerably.
  • the end face 25 has a bore 44 extending at right angles to it and penetrating the end block 42, and the end face 26 has an analogous bore 45 passing through the end block 43.
  • the arms 30, 31 with the latches 32, 33 in turn protrude from the end or butt surface 25, while the grooves 34, 35 ending at the notches 36, 37 extend from the end or butt surface 26.
  • the statements made in connection with FIGS. 5-7 apply analogously to the band guide section 27 '. It remains to be added that the bores 44, 45 are arranged in the segments 123 such that each is aligned with the bore 41 in a segment 122 adjoining the end face or abutting surface 25 or 26.
  • FIG. 13 shows why the segments 122 and 123 can be connected to one another to form a more rigid bond.
  • a stiffer bond is obtained simply because of the greater extent of the abutting or abutting surfaces 25 and 26.
  • a tensioning member 46 can be drawn in through the bores 41 and 44 or 45 and tensioned in a conventional manner, as a result of which a number of segments 122 forming a straight guide path can be tensioned together with the two adjoining segments 123 to form a very rigid connection.
  • segments 122 and 123 are designed to be compatible with the elements 22 and 23 of FIGS. 2-7 with regard to their elements 30-37 used for the mutual connection.
  • the segments 23 and 123 forming an arcuate band guide section necessarily cause the band to be deflected by 90 °. Larger deflection angles can also be provided, so that the shape of the working opening 19 does not become quadrangular, but polygonal, which can offer a further advantage in the case of objects 20 which differ substantially from the cuboid shape.
  • the described tape guide channel 16 has obvious advantages for both the manufacturer and the user of the device 10, which the conventional devices do not have.
