other of two unwinding pins (11) on a rotary platform
(9) fitted to a drive shaft (10) integral with a first
surface (21) of the platform (9) facing the store (8);
the unwinding pins (11) extending from a second surface
(22) of the platform (9) opposite the first surface
(21); and the transfer device (12) being movable between
a loading position facing the first surface (21), and an
unloading position facing the second surface (22).
Description
The present invention relates to a wrapping
material supply unit.
More specifically, the present invention relates
to a wrapping material supply unit of the type
comprising a store having a longitudinal first axis and
supporting a number of reels positioned on edge and
coaxial with the first axis; a platform rotating about a
second axis and having a first and opposite second
surface, the first of which faces the store; a drive
shaft fitted to the platform and projecting from said
first surface coaxially with said second axis; two reel
unwinding pins fitted to the platform on either side of
said second axis; and transfer means for successively
withdrawing the reels from the store and feeding them
selectively to said unwinding pins.
Supply units of the above type are normally used
for supplying wrapping material to wrapping or packing
machines, or constitute a portion of the machines.
In the following description, reference is made to
the latter case purely by way of example.
On known wrapping or packing machines featuring a
unit of the above type, the store normally extends
laterally with respect to the machine, and is located
behind a front surface of the machine - hereinafter
referred to as the "machine side" - normally facing the
machine operator; whereas the platform is mounted with
the first surface facing the machine side, through which
the drive shaft powering the platform extends.
Finally, on known wrapping or packing machines
featuring a unit of the above type, the two unwinding
pins project from the first surface of the platform
towards the machine side, and are located on either side
of the drive shaft.
On such machines, the arrangement of the unwinding
pins and the drive shaft involves several drawbacks, in
that, being located between the two unwinding pins, the
drive shaft only enables each pin to be loaded with a
relatively small-diameter reel.
Moreover, the location of the two unwinding pins
between the platform and the machine side impedes
maintenance and prevents the reels from being loaded
manually in the event the transfer means break down.
It is an object of the present invention to
provide a straightforward, low-cost wrapping material
supply unit designed to overcome the aforementioned
drawbacks.
According to the present invention, there is
provided a wrapping material supply unit of the type
comprising a store having a longitudinal first axis and
supporting a number of reels positioned on edge and
coaxial with the first axis; a platform rotating about a
second axis, the platform having a first and second
surface opposite each other, and the first of which is
positioned facing the store; a drive shaft fitted to the
platform and projecting from said first surface
coaxially with said second axis; two reel unwinding pins
fitted to the platform and located on either side of
said second axis; and transfer means for successively
withdrawing the reels from the store and feeding the
reels selectively to said unwinding pins; characterized
in that said unwinding pins project, parallel to the
second axis, from said second surface; said transfer
means being movable between a loading position facing
the first surface and an unloading position facing the
second surface.
A non-limiting embodiment of the present invention
will be described by way of example with reference to
the accompanying drawings, in which:
Finally, unit 5 comprises a cartesian transfer
device 12 for successively withdrawing reels 4 from
store 8 and feeding them selectively to pins 11 to
replace an empty reel 4 on one of pins 11 with a new
reel 4; and a known starting device 13 cooperating with
platform 9 to feed strips 3 automatically to machine 2.
As shown in Figure 1, frame 6 comprises a
horizontal base 14, and a vertical upright 15 connected
integrally to base 14 and defining, with base 14, a
lateral passage 16 of frame 6.
Platform 9 is fitted to upright 15, and comprises
a first surface 21 and a second surface 22, which are
positioned crosswise to axis 9a, are parallel to each
other, are located on either side of platform 9, and of
which surface 21 is positioned facing store 8 and facing
and parallel to surface 7. Drive shaft 10 is angularly
integral with platform 9, extends coaxially with axis
9a, and projects from surface 21 towards surface 7;
while pins 11 project, parallel to axis 9a, from surface
22, and are therefore located on the opposite side of
platform 9 to shaft 10.
Platform 9 also comprises two arms 23, which are
located at respective opposite ends of platform 9
substantially close to pins 11, and extend between
surfaces 21 and 22, crosswise to a line joining pins 11,
and on either side of platform 9.
Each arm 23 comprises a respective guide pin 24
projecting with respect to surface 22 and extending
parallel to axis 9a.
Finally, device 12 comprises a gripping hand 30
connected to the top free end of slide 29 and facing
store 8. Hand 30 has a centering axis 30a parallel to
axes 8a and 9a, and comprises three gripping fingers 31,
each fitted to a free end of a respective radial arm 32,
and each parallel to axis 30a.
More specifically, the three arms 32 extend
radially from axis 30a, are equally spaced angularly,
and, in the example shown, each comprise a fixed portion
33 defined by a linear actuator, and a movable portion
34 movable in a radial direction with respect to axis
30a and defined by the output rod of the actuator.
Each finger 31 is fitted to the respective movable
portion 34 at an adjustable distance from axis 30a,
engages the peripheral surface 20 of reel 4, and
cooperates with the other fingers 31 to maintain reel 4
coaxial with axis 30a.
As shown in Figures 2 to 4, transfer device 12
provides for moving hand 30 between a loading position
(Figures 1 and 2) in which hand 30 is located behind
platform 9 with axis 30a coaxial with axis 8a to engage
and support a reel 4 housed inside store 8, and an
unloading position (Figure 3) in which hand 30 faces
surface 22 and is located in front of platform 9 with
axis 30a coaxial with an empty pin 11 to load reel 4 on
to pin 11. More specifically hand 30 of device 12 moves
each reel 4 between the loading and unloading positions
along a U-shaped transfer path P comprising a first
portion T1 parallel to guides 25 and extending from the
loading position to a first intermediate position in
which hand 30, in use, is positioned facing surface 22
and reel 4 is coaxial with axis 8a; a second portion T2
crosswise to first portion T1 and extending, parallel to
portion 28, from the first intermediate position to a
second intermediate position in which hand 30, in use,
is still positioned facing surface 22, but reel 4 is
coaxial with an empty pin 11; and a third portion T3
parallel to first portion T1 and extending, parallel to
guides 25, from the second intermediate position to the
unloading position.
Finally, starting device 13 is fitted to the top
of upright 15, substantially over platform 9, and
comprises a known peel-off device 35, which rests on
surface 20 of the new reel 4 to engage and feed a start
portion 36 of strip 3 into a suction conduit 37 along an
unwinding portion 38 extending tangent to a known
starting drum 39, which, together with conduit 37, forms
part of device 13.
In actual use, a known detecting device 45, fitted
to upright 15 to the side of platform 9, determines when
a reel 4 on one of pins 11 runs out, removes core 19 of
the empty reel 4 off pin 11 (Figure 3), and unloads the
core into a waste channel 46 beneath device 45.
At this point, drive shaft 10 rotates platform 9
(clockwise in the accompanying drawings) to set the
empty pin 11 to a loading position corresponding to said
unloading position of hand 30, which, as reel 4 was
being unwound, has already withdrawn a new reel 4 from
store 8 and moved successively along portions T1 and T2
into said second intermediate position. More
specifically, when hand 30 is set by device 12 to the
loading position, fingers 31 are moved away from axis
30a, and are positioned about the peripheral surface 20
of reel 4 in such a manner as not to interfere with
conveyor belts 17 of store 8, and in such a manner as to
grip and center reel 4 with respect to axis 30a when
moved back towards one another.
Once reel 4 is gripped by hand 30, slide 26 is
moved along guides 25 away from front surface 7 to
enable platform 9 to rotate about axis 9a and set a pin
11 to said loading position; at which point, slide 29 is
moved up along portion 28 to move hand 30 along portion
T2 until axis 30a of hand 30 is aligned with an empty
pin 11.
At this point, peel-off device 35 rests on the
peripheral surface 20 of reel 4, which is rotated by
respective pin 11 via a known motor (not shown) common
to both pins 11.
On contacting start portion 36 of strip 3,
peel-off device 35 detaches and feeds portion 36 around
starting drum 39 into suction conduit 37.
When device 45 detects that the reel 4 on the
other pin 11 is running out, a lever 48 (Figure 3),
substantially located at drum 39, feeds strip 3 on the
new reel 4 to gumming device 43, which gums strip 3 on
the new reel 4 to strip 3 on the old reel 4.
During the above operation, portion 36 is detached
from strip 3 and drawn by suction along conduit 37.
From this point on, the above operations are
repeated cyclically and as described for all the other
reels 4.
