Definitions

  • the invention relates to a plant for preparing plants for packaging according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Shrub-shaped plants especially rose plants, which are increasingly frequently packaged individually by the breeder and sent to customers, are usually too bulky in the state in which they have been harvested and cleared of soil to be put directly into packaging. It is therefore common to tie such plants together on shoots and roots.
  • binding devices are known which are used in such a way that a person only holds each individual plant into the device with one end, for example the roots, triggers a first binding, then pulls the plant out of the device, with which it turns holding the other end ahead again into the device, releasing the second binding and finally placing the plant in a place where it can be reached or made accessible by an intermediate conveyor for another person who trims the shoots and roots with a cutting device.
  • Working on tying and cutting devices is tedious and not entirely harmless, especially for plants with bulky roots and shoots. Above corresponds to the inner state of the art.
  • a machine for paraffinizing and packing grafted vines is known.
  • This system has a conveyor on which fork-shaped brackets for one plant are arranged one behind the other, vessels arranged laterally next to the conveyor with a paraffin mixture or coolant, into which parts of the graft protruding from the brackets can be successively immersed, and one above the conveyor arranged auxiliary conveyor with elastic pressure pads, which press from above onto the grafted vines and hold them in the holders.
  • the paraffined grafted vines are then passed between two film strips, which are heated and pressed together by pressure rollers, i.e. welded together.
  • the film strips with the grafted vines thus fixed between them are finally wound onto a winding drum.
  • the wraps with grafted vines produced in this way can be easily transported and stored.
  • the invention has for its object to prepare shrub-like plants for packaging, which, like rose plants in particular, have more or less bulky shoots and roots, with less human labor and without endangering them.
  • Protruding parts of the plant are to be understood as their roots and / or shoots. It is not always necessary to bind the roots as well as the shoots. The roots do not need to be bound if they are temporarily held together in a subsequent work step in which the plants are packaged as if they were bound. On the other hand, there are cases conceivable in which the shoots of the plants do not need to be bound because they are then cut relatively short on the system according to the invention. In such cases, it is sufficient if the system according to the invention has only a single binding device. For appropriate considerations, it may be sufficient if the plant according to the invention has only a single cutting device with which either the roots or the shoots of the plant are shortened. In general, however, two cutters are provided, one of which shortens the roots and the other shortens the shoots of the plants.
  • the person working on a system according to the invention can generally restrict himself to inserting plants into one of the holders at the beginning of the conveyor. Everything else can be done automatically with the usual design of the binding and cutting devices arranged along the conveyor.
  • the system shown has an elongated machine frame 10 in which an endless conveyor 12 is mounted.
  • the conveyor 12 consists essentially of a pair of parallel chains 14 which run over deflection wheels 16 and drive wheels and are driven together by a geared motor 20 in the direction of arrow A.
  • the two chains 14 are connected to one another at regular intervals by carriages 22 which are each divided in a central transverse plane and each have a double joint 24 with two horizontal joint axes B arranged transversely to the longitudinal direction of the conveyor 12.
  • Each carriage 22 carries two forks 26 and 28 which are open at the top and which together form a holder 30 for a plant P; the fork 26 is for receiving the shoots T, and the fork 28 for receiving the roots W of the plant P.
  • a binding device 40 or 42 of a type known per se for binding the shoots T or the roots W is arranged on the two long sides of the conveyor 12. Further downstream, a cutting device 44 and 46 for trimming the shoots T and roots W is arranged on the two long sides of the conveyor 12.
  • Each of the two cutting devices 44 and 46 consists of a pair of fine-tooth circular saws.
  • a group of hot wax fountains 48 is provided which are directed essentially vertically upwards by nozzles in a collecting basin, wet the drives T and then drip back into the collecting basin.
  • the wax which forms the hot wax fountains 48 at a temperature which is still acceptable for the shoots T, solidifies before the plants P have left the region above the collecting basin, and then forms a protective layer which prevents the shoots T from drying out.
  • Each of the carriages 22, as already indicated with reference to FIG. 1, consists of a front and a rear half 52 and 54, which are connected to one another by double joints 24 with transverse joint axes B.
  • each carriage 22 On the front half 52 of each carriage 22, two transverse shafts 60 are rotatably aligned in a bearing 62, but are axially immovable.
  • a bracket 64 for holding down a plant P inserted in the forks 26 and 28 is fastened to the outer end of each shaft 60 with respect to the associated carriage 22.
  • At the other end of each shaft 60 is a ratchet wheel 66 which is sawtooth-toothed.
  • the ratchet wheels 66 cooperate with a pawl 68, which is mounted on the front half of the carriage 52 in such a way that under the effect of its own weight, if necessary supported by a spring, it strives to engage in the associated ratchet wheel 66.
  • a locking lever 70 is fastened to each of the locking wheels 66, and a control member 72 in the form of a roller is mounted on its free end.
  • Each of the locking levers 70, and thus also the associated bracket 64, is prestressed by a spring 73 indicated in FIG. 6 in the sense of pivoting upward in the opening direction.
  • actuators 74 are arranged in the form of draw hooks in an initial region of the conveyor. These are each connected to a pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 76 via a tension spring 75.
  • the rollers 72 of a carriage 22, which is in an initial position can be pulled forward with an adjustable force.
  • each of the locking levers 70 exerts a torque counterclockwise on the associated shaft 60.
  • each carriage 22 carries only a complete fork 26 and instead of the other fork a receptacle 28, both of which are attached to the rear half 54 of the carriage.
  • a release lever 78 is mounted, which is pivotable in a vertical longitudinal plane of the conveyor 12 and normally occupies an ineffective position in which it is inclined obliquely backwards downwards.
  • a control member 80 is arranged in the form of a stationary roller, on which the release lever 78 runs, so that it is pivoted upwards.
  • the two pawls 68 of the carriage 22 in question are pivoted upward.
  • the two associated ratchet wheels 66 are released so that the two brackets 64 of the carriage 22 in question are pivoted upward by the associated spring 73 into their open position.
  • Each of the two cutting devices 44 and 46 has a fixed knife 82 with two straight cutting edges 84 and 86 which converge in the direction of movement A of the conveyor 12 and form a right angle with one another. With these two straight cutting edges 84 and 86, an arcuate cutting edge 88 of a pivotable knife 90 interacts, which is pivotably mounted on the fixed knife 82 in a vertical longitudinal plane of the conveyor 12 and can be actuated with a pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 92, only indicated.
  • Each of the two cutting devices 44 and 46 is arranged on a slide 94 which is mounted on a pair of horizontal guide rods 96 arranged transversely to the direction of movement A by means of a pneumatic piston-cylinder unit 98 between an adjustable working position in the immediate vicinity of the conveyor 12 and a rest position at a greater distance from the conveyor can be pushed back and forth.
  • a handwheel 100 is provided for setting the working position.
  • a plant P is placed transversely in the fork 26 and receptacle 28 of each carriage 22 at the beginning of the conveyor 12, as long as the two brackets 64 assume their open position.
  • the insertion of the plant P is determined by a sensor of the usual type, not shown, which is arranged at the insertion point and which causes the piston-cylinder unit 76 to pull the actuating members 74 forward.
  • the stirrups 64 are closed to a greater or lesser extent by their closing levers 70, so that the plant P is held in place by the stirrups 64 with sufficient, but still harmless, forces.
  • the plant P in question reaches a position in which its shoots T protrude into the binding device 40 and are bound together by the latter.
  • the plant P reaches the two cutting devices 44 and 46, from which the shoots T and roots W are trimmed.
  • the angular arrangement of the fixed cutting edges 84 and 86 prevents the drives T or roots W of the movable cutting edge 88 from evading.
  • the release lever 78 runs onto the control member 80 with the result that the plant P is released from the brackets 64 and falls out of the fork 26 and receptacle 28 as soon as the carriage 22 in question moves downward at the end of the conveyor 12.
  • a scraper 102 is arranged there, which ensures that the plant P is safely detached from the carriage 22 and falls onto a further conveyor (not shown) or into a container.
