Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automatic loading device of goods, in particular beverage bottles or cans packed in plastic, Sanitary paper goods, and the like, with a handle, comprising means for Feeding the goods and means for feeding a serving as a handle Filmstrip material to a rotatable plate over which the Filmstrip material is guided so that the goods themselves by rotating the plate opposite sides each with one end of the filmstrip material is provided.
  • the goods or their packaging or outer packaging with a Provide handle For example, beverage bottles or cans are in usually combined into Secher packs, so-called "six packs".
  • Secher packs so-called "six packs”.
  • Plastic packaging is usually used in the field of Beverage bottles or cans, for example in the form of shrink sleeves.
  • the fabricated goods are then transformed into a carrying handle Filmstrip material provided, which is usually also made of plastic is made.
  • the length of the known devices is not possible the handle, d. H. the distance between the handle and the goods in Train the dependency of the goods to be fitted individually and variably.
  • the invention resides in the requirements based, a generic device for the automatic loading of To improve goods with a handle so that this is an individual and variable loading of goods with a handle and above In addition, no extensive adjustment work to adapt to different goods to be assembled required.
  • the object is inventively achieved by a device of the type mentioned, in which the distance between the rotation axis of the plate from the product and the length of the plate are adjustable.
  • the distance of the axis of rotation of the plate from the goods adjustable goods of different sizes can be easily carried with a handle equip.
  • the distance Axis of rotation of the plate from the goods also the length of the handle, d. H. the Free space between the handle and the goods, vary by the position which the ends of the filmstrip material are fixed to the goods changed becomes.
  • Another variability in handle length, i. H. regarding the Distance between the goods and the handle is adjustable by the Given plate in length. In doing so, according to the change in length Plate used for the handle more or less film strip material.
  • the rotation of the plate torque controlled.
  • the plate rotates 180 ° when a product passes over the Means for feeding the goods against that in the path of movement of the goods protruding end of the plate moves.
  • the plate is advantageously driven by a torque-sensing servo motor, which itself compared to conventionally used pneumatic drives easier and can be controlled more precisely ..
  • the torque-dependent rotation of the plate it is ensured that this does not suggest the goods to be loaded, so that Damage to the goods or their packaging are excluded.
  • the torque is advantageously used to control the rotation of the plate adjustable, which is particularly suitable for adapting to light or heavy goods Advantage is.
  • the torque controlled rotation of the Plate also feed the film strip material so that this through the Rotation of the plate is carried in the feeder, d. that is, the drive of the The film strip material is fed through the rotating plate.
  • complex adjustment work to adapt to different ones is required stocking goods and congestion in the supply of the goods or the Filmstrip material for synchronizing the feed means and the rotating Plate reduced to a minimum and long device travel times avoided.
  • a change in the device is in particular with regard to the goods to be assembled, can be easily accomplished in the shortest possible time.
  • the plate has means to separate the film strip material, which advantageously on the Arranged ends of the plate and preferably driven hydropneumatically are. To guide the pressure lines within the plate, this has in a further configuration towards the ends of the plate tapering Cable receiving areas so that the length of the plate can be adjusted Damage to the pressure lines is excluded.
  • the plate has means to attach the film strip material to the goods to be loaded.
  • This advantageously also allows the use of a non-self-adhesive Filmstrip material. This is done for example by gluing, tacking or The like attached to the outer packaging of the goods to be loaded.
  • a plastic packaging for the goods can do that Filmstrip material, for example, by briefly heating in the area of Fastening points glued or welded to the packaging of the goods become.
  • a pre-assembled film strip material with one on one side of the filmstrip material outside of two self-adhesive sections surrounded neutral, d. H. non-sticky, section used as Handle.
  • this pre-assembled film strip material in the form of rolls with Filmstrip material lengths from 5,000 m to 15,000 m can be used.
  • the maintenance-free running times of the film strip material used as a handle Increase device significantly, because a refill of film strip material in In contrast to the previously known devices, this must be done less frequently.
  • the device according to the invention For processing pre-assembled film strip material in the form of rolls, which regarding the position of the neutral sections on the Filmstrip material partially has a small offset, and Compensate for one due to the filmstrip material guidance on the plate generated offset due to stretching of the film strip material by the Leadership, the device according to the invention according to another advantageous embodiment of the invention means that the position of the as Handle portion of the filmstrip material and handle align.
  • the position of the as Handle portion of the filmstrip material and handle align for detecting the position of the Filmstrip material on the plate at least one light barrier and Aligning the filmstrip material on the plate at least one on the plate arranged adjustable cylinder used, by adjusting the Cylinder the length of the circumference of the plate is changeable. Through this automatic length compensation with regard to the circumference of the plate targeted as a handle portion of the film strip material on the plate align and position. This makes it, unlike the previous ones known devices, possible according to the invention, pre-assembled Use film strip material in the form of rolls.
