Die Vorrichtung nach den Fig. 1 bis 5 ist zum Anbringen einer Transportsicherung in Form einer vertikalen Umreifung 14 an einem Stapel 2 von Flaschen 6 ausgebildet, welche unter Zwischenschaltung von Trays 15 auf Rollpaletten 7 stehen (siehe Fig. 6). Die Rollpaletten 7 ihrerseits sind zu viert dicht an dicht auf Trägerpaletten 1 abgestellt, die mit entsprechenden Aufnahmetaschen 16 für die beiden Lenkrollen L jeder Rollpalette 7 ausgestattet sind. Hierdurch werden die beladenen Rollpaletten 7 auf dem Transport zum Kunden sicher fixiert, genauso wie während ihrer Beladung in einer nicht gezeigten Palettierstation.The device according to FIGS. 1 to 5 is for attaching a Transport lock in the form of a vertical strapping 14 on a stack 2 of bottles 6 formed, which under Interposition of trays 15 on rolling pallets 7 are (see Fig. 6). The rolling pallets 7 in turn are four placed close to tight on carrier pallets 1, with corresponding receiving pockets 16 for the two castors L each rolling pallet 7 are equipped. This will be the loaded rolling pallets 7 on the transport to the customer safely fixed, just as during their loading in one not palletizing station shown.

Die beladenen Trägerpaletten 1 werden der Vorrichtung durch einen ersten linearen Transporteur 8 zugeführt, der ferner die Trägerpaletten 1 durch die Vorrichtung selbst hindurch und von dieser weg befördert. Der Transporteur 8 ist in herkömmlicher Weise aus einer Vielzahl von gleichartigen, mit Förderrollen 17 bestückten Modulen 18 aufgebaut, von denen jedes einen eigenen Antriebsmotor M aufweist. Alle Antriebsmotoren M sind an eine nicht gezeigte elektronische Steuereinrichtung angeschlossen, die ferner mit einer Anzahl gleichfalls nicht gezeigter Sensoren verbunden ist, welche den Belegungszustand der Module 18 anzeigen. Durch entsprechende Programmierung der elektronischen Steuereinrichtung ist nahezu jeder beliebige Bewegungsablauf realisierbar.The loaded carrier pallets 1 are the device through a first linear feed 8 supplied, the further the carrier pallets 1 through the device itself and promoted away from it. The feed dog 8 is in conventionally of a variety of similar, with Conveyor rollers 17 assembled modules 18 constructed, of which each having its own drive motor M. All Drive motors M are connected to an electronic, not shown Control device connected, further with a number also not shown sensors is connected, which show the occupancy state of the modules 18. By appropriate programming of the electronic Control device is almost any movement realizable.

Die Vorrichtung umfaßt weiter eine quer zum Transporteur 8 antreibbare Einschleusstation 12 für leere Trägerpaletten 3 sowie eine mit Abstand in Transportrichtung nachgeschaltete, gleichfalls quer antreibbare Ausschleusstation 13 für leere Trägerpaletten 1. Die Ausschleusstation 13 ist mit der Einschleusstation 12 durch einen streckenweise parallel zum ersten Transporteur 8 verlaufenden zweiten Transporteur 9 verbunden. Dieser ist gleichfalls aus einer Anzahl von Modulen 18 aufgebaut und in entgegengesetzter Richtung antreibbar wie der erste Transporteur 8.The device further comprises a transverse to the feed dog. 8 Drivable infeed station 12 for empty carrier pallets 3 and a distance downstream in the transport direction, likewise transversely drivable Ausschleusstation 13 for empty Carrier pallets 1. The discharge station 13 is connected to the Einschleusstation 12 by a piecewise parallel to first conveyor 8 extending second conveyor 9 connected. This is likewise from a number of Modules 18 constructed and in the opposite direction drivable as the first conveyor 8.

Zwischen der Einschleusstation 12 und der Ausschleusstation 13 sind am Transporteur 8 der Reihe nach zuerst auf der linken Seite ein erster Umsetzer 10 und eine erste Bearbeitungsstation 4 und dann auf der rechten Seite eine zweite Bearbeitungsstation 5 und ein zweiter Umsetzer 11 stationär angeordnet. Jedes der vorstehend genannten Elemente 4, 5, 10, 11 ist einem eigenen Modul 18 zugeordnet, auf dem üblicherweise jeweils eine Trägerpalette 1, 3 läuft.Between the infeed station 12 and the discharge station 13 are at the transporter 8 in turn first on the left side a first converter 10 and a first Processing station 4 and then on the right one second processing station 5 and a second converter 11 stationary arranged. Each of the above elements 4, 5, 10, 11 is associated with a separate module 18 on which usually in each case a carrier pallet 1, 3 runs.

Wie die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen, sind die beiden Umsetzer 10, 11 als sog. Stapler aufgebaut. Sie weisen horizontal verfahrbare Stapelgabeln 19 auf, die an einem höhenbeweglichen Schlitten 20 gelagert sind. Am Schlitten 20 ist ein Stellmotor 21 angeordnet, durch den die Stapelgabeln 19 aus der in vollen Linien gezeigten Ruhestellung, in der sie sich vollständig außerhalb des Transportwegs befinden, in ihre strichpunktiert dargestellte Arbeitsposition verfahrbar sind, in der sie unter eine benachbarte Rollpalette 7 eingreifen. Durch den an der Tragsäule 23 befestigten Hubmotor 22 ist dann der Schlitten 20 mit den ausgefahrenen Stapelgabeln 19 soweit anhebbar, dass die Rollpalette 7 mit dem darauf befindlichen Flaschenstapel 2 von der Trägerpalette 1 vollständig abgehoben wird, wobei die Lenkrollen L vollständig aus den Aufnahmetaschen 16 herausbewegt worden sind. Die zwei parallelen Stapelgabeln 19 sind derart angeordnet, dass sie die zwei ihnen zugewandten Rollpaletten 7 mit den Flaschenstapeln 2 einer auf dem Modul 8 mittig vor dem Stapler 10 zur Ruhe gebrachten Trägerpalette 1 erfassen und anheben können.As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the two converters 10, 11 constructed as a so-called stacker. They have horizontally movable Stacking forks 19 on a height-adjustable sled 20 are stored. On the carriage 20 is a servomotor 21st arranged by the stacking forks 19 from the full Lines shown rest position in which they are complete located outside the transport route, in their dash-dotted lines shown working position are movable in which they engage under an adjacent rolling pallet 7. By the the supporting column 23 mounted lifting motor 22 is then the Carriage 20 with the extended stacking forks 19 so far liftable, that the rolling pallet 7 with the thereon Bottle stack 2 of the carrier pallet 1 completely is lifted, the castors L completely out of the Receiving pockets 16 have been moved out. The two parallel stacking forks 19 are arranged such that they the two facing rolling pallets 7 with the Bottle stacks 2 one on the module 8 centered in front of the Detect stacker 10 immobilized carrier pallet 1 and can lift.

Die in Fig. 4 und 5 gezeigten Bearbeitungsstationen 4, 5 sind als sog. Vertikal-Umreifungsmaschinen ausgebildet. Derartige Maschinen sind handelsüblich und beispielsweise von der Firma Strapex unter der Bezeichnung Kolumbus Typ VSS-V erhältlich. Dementsprechend weisen die Bearbeitungsstationen 4, 5 einen Speicher 24 für das Umreifungsband 14, ein Aggregat 25 zum Einschuss, Rückzug, Spannen, Verschweißen und Abschneiden des Umreifungsbandes, ein horizontal bewegliches Schwert 26, das unter den zu umreifenden Gegenstand einfahrbar ist, im vorliegenden Fall unter eine Rollpalette 7, sowie eine rahmenärtige Führung 27, die das Band um den Gegenstand herumleitet. Genauer gesagt ist der Rahmen 27 derart angeordnet, dass er das Umreifungsband 14 unter der Rollpalette 7 hindurch mit geringem Abstand am Flaschenstapel 2 nach oben, über den Stapel 2 hinweg und wieder zurück zum Aggregat 25 führt. Die Rollpalette 7, alle auf ihr befindlichen Trays 15 mit den Flaschen 6 werden somit vom Umreifungsband 14 nach dem Verschweißen und Spannen zu einer stabilen Transporteinheit zusammengefaßt. Die fertige Einheit ist in Fig. 6 dargestellt. The processing stations 4, 5 shown in Figs. 4 and 5 are designed as so-called. Vertical strapping machines. such Machines are commercially available and for example from the company Strapex under the name Columbus type VSS-V available. Accordingly, the processing stations 4, 5 have a Memory 24 for the strapping 14, an aggregate 25 for Injection, retraction, clamping, welding and cutting off the Strapping band, a horizontally movable sword 26, the is retractable under the object to be strapped, im present case under a rolling pallet 7, as well as a frameless guide 27, which ties the strap around the object around forwards. More specifically, the frame 27 is such arranged that he the strap 14 under the Rolling pallet 7 through at a small distance on the bottle stack 2 up, over the stack 2 away and back to the Aggregate 25 leads. The rolling pallet 7, all on it located trays 15 with the bottles 6 are thus from Strapping 14 after welding and clamping to a stable transport unit summarized. The finished unit is shown in Fig. 6.

Die Funktion der vorbeschriebenen Vorrichtung bzw. das mit ihr durchgeführte Verfahren laufen folgendermaßen ab:The function of the device described above or with Their procedure is as follows:

Durch den ersten Transporteur 8 werden die von der nicht gezeigten Palettier- und Beladestation kommenden gefüllten Trägerpaletten 1 in Pfeilrichtung zugeführt. Die erste Trägerpalette 1 passiert ungehindert die Einschleusstation 12 und wird am ersten Umsetzer 10 in der gezeigten Position mittig zum Stillstand gebracht. Die nachfolgende gefüllte Trägerpalette 1 wird noch vor der Einschleusstation 12 gleichfalls zum Stillstand gebracht. Nunmehr wird eine leere Trägerpalette 3 vom zweiten Transporteur 9 her zugeführt und an der Einschleusstation 12 auf den ersten Transporteur 8 verbracht, fluchtend mit den vollen Trägerpaletten 1. Zwischenzeitlich oder nachfolgend werden durch den ersten Umsetzer 10 die beiden ihm zugewandten Stapel 2 einschließlich der Rollpaletten 7 angehoben, so dass lediglich die beiden anderen Stapel 2 auf der Trägerpalette 1 stehen bleiben. Diese wird nunmehr weiter zur zweiten Bearbeitungsstation 5 transportiert. Gleichzeitig wird die leere Trägerpalette 3 von der Einschleusstation 12 zum ersten Umsetzer 10 bewegt bis sie die gleiche Position einnimmt wie zuvor die gefüllte Trägerpalette 1. Durch Absenken der Stapelgabeln 19 werden nun die beiden von der gefüllten Trägerpalette 1 stammenden Flaschenstapeln 2 auf der ursprünglich leeren Trägerpalette 3 abgestellt und diese wird dann weiter zur ersten Bearbeitungsstation 4 transportiert.By the first transporter 8 are not from the shown palletizing and loading station coming filled Carrier pallets 1 fed in the arrow direction. The first Carrier pallet 1 passes unhindered the infeed station 12 and is at the first converter 10 in the position shown brought to a standstill in the middle. The following filled Carrier pallet 1 is still in front of the infeed station 12 also brought to a standstill. Now it becomes an empty one Carrier pallet 3 supplied from the second conveyor 9 forth and at the infeed station 12 to the first conveyor 8 spent, aligned with the full carrier pallets 1. In the meantime or subsequently, by the first Converter 10, the two facing him stack 2 including the rolling pallets 7 raised so that only the two other stack 2 on the carrier pallet. 1 stay standing. This will now continue to the second Processing station 5 transported. At the same time the empty carrier pallet 3 from the infeed station 12 to the first Converter 10 moves until it assumes the same position as previously the filled carrier pallet 1. By lowering the Stacking forks 19 are now the two of the filled Carrier pallet 1 originating bottle stacks 2 on the originally empty carrier pallet 3 is turned off and this is then transported on to the first processing station 4.

In den zugehörigen Bearbeitungsstationen 4, 5 werden nun die jeweils zwei seitlich auf einer Trägerpalette 1, 3 stehenden Stapel 2 in der bereits beschriebenen Weise mit einer Umreifung 14 versehen. Zuerst werden die beiden vorderen Stapel 6 bearbeitet, wie in Fig. 1 gezeigt ist. Dann werden die beiden Trägerpaletten 1, 3 um eine Stapelbreite vorwärts bewegt und anschließend die jeweils zweiten Stapel umreift. Damit ist die Bearbeitung aller vier Stapel 2 abgeschlossen, wobei aufgrund der sicheren Fixierung der Rollpaletten 7 auf den Trägerpaletten 1, 3 ein problemloser Transport und ein problemloses Bearbeiten möglich ist.In the associated processing stations 4, 5 are now the two laterally on a carrier pallet 1, 3 standing Stack 2 in the manner already described with a Strapping 14 provided. First, the two front Stack 6 processed as shown in Fig. 1. Then be the two carrier pallets 1, 3 for a stack width forward moved and then strapped the second stack. This completes the processing of all four stacks 2, being due to the secure fixation of the rolling pallets 7 the carrier pallets 1, 3 easy transport and a easy editing is possible.

Nunmehr werden die zwei getrennten Paare von Stapeln 2 wieder auf einer Trägerpalette, im Ausführungsbeispiel auf einer ursprünglich leeren Trägerpalette 3 zusammengeführt. Hierzu werden die Trägerpaletten 1, 3 weiter zum zweiten Umsetzer 11 bewegt, der jeweils die beiden rechten Stapel 2 von ihrer ursprünglichen Trägerpalette 1 anhebt, und dann auf der zugeführten, bereits zwei Stapel enthaltenden ursprünglich leeren Trägerpalette 3 absetzt. Zwischenzeitlich wird die nunmehr absolut leere Trägerpalette 1 zur Ausschleusstation 13 bewegt, dort seitlich herausgeführt und vom zweiten Transporteur 9 aufgenommen. Voraussetzung für diese Arbeitsweise ist eine identische Gestaltung der Trägerpaletten 1 und 3. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Stapel 2 wieder auf ihre ursprünglichen Trägerpaletten 1 umzuladen, wobei die Trägerpaletten 3 als reine Hilfspaletten dienen und eine andere, entsprechend einfachere Gestaltung aufweisen können.Now the two separate pairs of stacks 2 become again on a carrier pallet, in the embodiment on a originally empty carrier pallet 3 merged. For this the carrier pallets 1, 3 continue to the second converter 11th moves, each of the two right stacks 2 of hers lift original pallet 1, and then on the fed, already containing two stacks originally empty carrier pallet 3 settles. In the meantime, the now absolutely empty carrier pallet 1 to the discharge station 13 moves, led out laterally there and from the second Feed dog 9 was added. Prerequisite for this Working method is an identical design of Carrier pallets 1 and 3. However, it is also possible that Stack 2 back on their original carrier pallets 1 umzuladen, with the carrier pallets 3 as a purely auxiliary palettes serve and another, according to simpler design can have.

Die mit vier einzeln umreiften Stapeln 2 versehenen Trägerpaletten 3 werden im Anschluss an die Ausschleusstation 13 durch den ersten Transporteur 8 von der Vorrichtung weg geführt.The provided with four individually strapped stacks 2 Carrier pallets 3 are following the discharge station 13 through the first conveyor 8 away from the device guided.
