Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for packaging bales with the features in the preamble of the main method and device claim.
  • the wrapping device consists of two fixed support arms and two swiveling film arms.
  • the film arms are cantilevered at one end and carry the heavy film wrap and a welding and cutting device at the other end.
  • the complete wrapping device sits on a single transport cart and is moved from the side into the baling or packaging station at the level of the baling bale.
  • the jacket film stretched between the rigid support arms and the film roll is wrapped around the press bale, the pivotable film arms performing an additional rotary movement with the film roll.
  • Such an arrangement poses mechanical and kinematic problems.
  • the film ends will be firmly connected to one another at the connection point by welding, stapling or in some other way. This is also necessary because for the subsequent strapping, the wrapping device has to be detached from the press bale and completely removed from the packaging or press station. You must make room for the independent strapping device. This technology takes time and requires a lot of construction and control. Last but not least, there is also a space problem, an envelope and a strapping device to accommodate them separately from each other with their transport trolleys, to hold them in waiting positions and to have them retracted and extended separately. The known device can therefore not be used in all press systems, especially not in so-called carousel balers, in which the press bale is difficult to access from the side through the press stand.
  • the invention solves this problem with the features in the main method and device claim.
  • the heavy film wrap is moved in a simple manner, preferably on a straight path, along the press bale.
  • the problems of the prior art with the kinematics, the mechanics and the stability of the device can hereby be avoided.
  • the U-shaped enveloping movement of the jacket film is carried out by the easier to handle film arm, which can also be dimensioned relatively weak due to the low weight of the film piece pulled off.
  • the separation of film wrap and film arm and their independent mobility on separate transport trolleys also enable a solution to the space problem. On the one hand, this allows the packaging device to be arranged and also retrofitted on any baling press, in particular also carousel presses. Alternatively, use at independent packaging stations etc. is possible.
  • strapping can take place immediately after the baling of the press.
  • the strapping device can be combined with the wrapping device or immediately follow it.
  • the wrapping device does not have to be removed in a time-consuming and space-consuming manner before the strapping device can take action. Rather, the two devices can work together and complement each other in terms of function and device technology, thereby optimizing the construction effort.
  • Another advantage of the packaging technology according to the invention is that the method and device are suitable for different bale sizes and can be adapted by software. This extends the area of application and at the same time reduces the retrofitting effort.

  • FIG. 1 shows a packaging device (1) in connection with a baler (3), here in the form of a two-column carousel baler known per se.
  • a baler (3) here in the form of a two-column carousel baler known per se.
  • the bale preferably consists of short cut or long textile fibers, the so-called tow. Alternatively, textile waste or other materials can also be used as bale material.
  • Figure 1 shows the starting position in which the press box (not shown) has just been pulled off the press bale (2).
  • the packaging device (1) is located outside the press space and approximately at the level of the outer press post (4).
  • the packaging device (1) consists of an enveloping device (5) and a strapping device (6), both of which are arranged on two transport carriages (8, 9).
  • the transport carriages (8, 9) are arranged to be movable on rails or other interconnects on both sides and along the bale (2). They have independent drives and can be moved separately. During the packaging process, they move in the direction of travel (28).
  • the wrapping device (5) has a film roll (10) with a downstream dancer (11) as well as a film feeder (12) and a cutting device (13) arranged behind it, which are arranged together on the transport carriage (9).
  • the wrapping device (5) also includes a gripping arm (20) which is arranged on a row arrangement of deflection channels (18) of the strapping device (6) so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis (38). These parts are also arranged on the trolley (9).
  • the wrapping device (5) also has extendable holding pins (21) (see FIG. 6), which are also located on the transport trolley (9).
  • a film arm (15) of the wrapping device (5) with an end gripper (16) is arranged on the opposite transport carriage (8). In the direction of travel (28) there are two strapping heads (17) of the strapping device (6).
  • the downstream dancer (11) forms a film store in which the jacket film (7) spans several vertical rollers are connected in a spring-elastic manner. The dancer (11) compensates for film tensions and ensures even removal from the film wrap (10).
  • the jacket film (7) then enters the film feeder (12), which is a conveyor and holding device, e.g. has a friction wheel arrangement which can pull off the jacket film from the film roll (10) and hold the film end.
  • the cutting device (13) which can be designed as a knife arrangement, fusible wire or in some other suitable manner.
  • the cutting device (13) and the film feeder (12) sit in the direction of travel (28) behind the film wrap (10) and are located directly on the edge of the transport carriage (9) on the bale side. They are arranged together on a carrier which is rotatably mounted on the transport carriage (8) about a vertical pivot axis (14) (cf. FIG. 4).
  • the deflection channels (18) are arranged at the rear end of the transport carriage (9) in the direction of travel (28). They are rotatably mounted about a vertical axis (19), which is located at the rear end of the carriage and on the bale-side carriage edge.
  • the deflection channels (18) are present at least in the same number as the lacing grooves (26) in the press rams (27) and are arranged accordingly.
  • the individual deflection channels (18) are connected and held together at the rear by a frame (29) which in turn engages the axis of rotation (19). In the rest position according to FIG. 1, the deflection channels (18) are pivoted back from the bale-side wagon edge.
  • the gripper arm (20) is located at the front end of the frame of the deflection channels (18).
  • the arm parts (30, 31) consists of a double arm arrangement, the arm parts (30, 31) of which extend transversely to the direction of travel (28) and are spaced apart from one another by more than the film height.
  • the arm pieces (30.31) carry vertical and movable tension fingers (32) at the ends, which can grip the horizontal film edges from above or from below.
  • the clamping fingers (32) are in turn adjustable in height.
  • the film arm (15) is mounted on the trolley (8) so that it can be extended transversely to the direction of travel (28). It consists of a telescopic double-arm arrangement, the arm parts (33, 34) of which also extend transversely to the direction of travel (28) and are at a distance from each other by less than the height of the film.
  • the gripper (16) is arranged on the arm ends so as to be pivotable about a vertical axis (35). It consists of two arm extensions (36) that have horizontal tension fingers (37) at the ends, which can grasp and hold the vertical film edge.
  • FIG. 2 shows the sequence of the packaging process.
  • both transport carriages (8, 9) move a small distance in the direction of travel (28) until the film arm (15) and the cutting device (13) and the film feed (12) between the press post (4) and the bale 2) assume an aligned position.
  • the film arm (15) then extends and, with its gripper (6) directed straight ahead, grips the front film end (22) which protrudes a little above the cutting device (13).
  • the film arm (15) then moves back to the starting position on the transport carriage (8) and pulls the jacket film (7).
  • the trolley (8) then continues until the film arm (15) is just in front of the bale (2).
  • the film arm (15) extends again until the swivel joint (35) of the gripper (16) is approximately at the level of the opposite broad side (25) of the press bale (2).
  • the other dolly (9) also moves a short distance at the same time or shortly thereafter and thereby places the covering film (7) on the rear bale front.
  • the press bale (2) usually has a substantially rectangular cross-sectional shape and extends along the direction of travel (28). With the aforementioned travel and pull-out movements, the jacket film (7) is placed in a lateral U-shape around the two narrow sides and one broad side of the bale (2). The broad side (25) of the bale (2) facing the transport carriage (9) is now still open. In order to still wrap this broad side (25), the transport carriage (9) moves a little further according to FIG. 4 until the axis of rotation (19) is just behind the bale (2).
  • Cutting device (13) and the film feeder (12) pivot automatically about their pivot axis (14) through the film pull and then extend inclined together with the jacket film (7) to the bale (2). In this position, they are located along the row arrangement of the deflection channels (18), so that the clamping fingers (32) of the gripping arm (20) can grip the upper and lower edge of the film. As soon as this has been done, the cutting device (13) operates and cuts through the jacket film (7). The rear end of the film (23) is now held by the gripping arm (20).
  • the deflection channels (18) now pivot about their axis (19) on the press bales (2), the covering film (7) being placed flat on the broad side (25).
  • the deflection channels (18) are aligned with the lacing grooves (26) and are already firmly in their strapping position. They then stop during the strapping process.
  • the gripper rm (20) comes to rest on the front bale corner due to the pivoting movement of the frame (29).
  • the jacket film (7) and the rear film end (23) are under tension placed on the side surface (25) and held.
  • the gripper (16) is then actuated and folds onto the side surface (25), taking the front film end (22) with it. It moves through the free space within the curved deflection channels (18) and under the gripping arm (20) and, under tension, places the front film end (22) on the rear film end (23).
  • two or more holding pins (21) now extend and press the front foil end (22) onto the side surface (25).
  • the gripper (16) can now let go of the front end of the film (22) and swivel it back into the straight position opposite the film arm (15), which then also retracts.
  • the two first tire straps (24) are placed by the two strapping heads (17) arranged behind the film arm (15). At least one tire tape is placed over the overlapped film ends (22, 23) and fixes them.
  • the transport carriage (8) cycles back by the laced slot distance with the film arm (15) withdrawn and places the remaining tire belts (24).
  • the transport carriage (9) remains with the deflection channels (18).
  • the gripper arm (20) and the holding pins (21) also hold the film ends (22, 23) in place.
  • the press rams (27) are relieved, causing the press bale (2) to expand and jump into the tire belts (24).
  • the holding pins (21) and the gripping arm (20) are released from the film ends (22, 23) and move or pivot back.
  • the clamping fingers (32) of the gripping arm (20) are first pulled up or down from the edge of the film.
  • the deflection channels (18) then fold back into the starting position according to FIG. 1 and the baling bales (2) can be removed after the transport trolleys (8, 9) have returned.
  • the pre-press station of the baler (2) can be loaded again, whereby the cover foils for the upper and lower bale surface are also put on and turned over.
  • the film feeder (12) has meanwhile also conveyed the new front film end (22) a little beyond the opened cutting device (13) so that it can be gripped again by the film arm (15) during the next packaging process.
