Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for providing a package with a top film in a wrapping machine. According to the method,
  • the object to be wrapped may consist of a single piece or several pieces to be wrapped in the same package. If necessary, the object to be wrapped can be held in place in the wrapping station by pressing the object from above by means of a pressing element, causing the object to be squeezed between its support and the pressing element. In this case, the top film sheet to be placed over the object has to be brought between the pressing element and the object to be wrapped.
  • the object of the present invention is to achieve a new method for bringing a top film sheet onto an object to be wrapped which does not have any of the disadvantages described above.
  • the wrapping method of the invention is characterized in that the package is provided with a top film in a wrapping machine by applying the following steps comprised in the method:
  • a top film sheet can be fetched while the wrapped object in the wrapping station is being removed and another object to be wrapped is being brought in.
  • a new top film sheet is always ready in place above the object to be wrapped in the wrapping station before the wrapping operation is started. From this it follows that there is no need at all to interrupt the wrapping action for wrapping the object because the top film sheet can be brought onto the object during the wrapping operation. This is important because any interruptions in the wrapping operation substantially reduce its speed and efficiency.
  • the top film fetching apparatus is a separate assembly which can be added to a crank-type wrapping machine, to a ring-type wrapping machine or to a wrapping machine of any other type.
  • the top film fetching apparatus is mainly located inside the wrapping machine, above the wrapping station where the object to be wrapped is wrapped.
  • the crank-type wrapping machine 10 in Fig. 1 is provided with a film fetching apparatus 30, which fetches a top film sheet 33 fit to be placed over the object 12.
  • the film fetching apparatus 30 comprises a gripper unit 40 provided with grippers 50 and 51 capable of seizing the edges of the top film band, the gripper unit being movable in both vertical and horizontal directions.
  • the vertical motion of the gripper unit 40 has been achieved by providing the frame 41 of the film fetching apparatus with a vertical column 42 movable along vertical guide rails in the frame 60 of the wrapping machine.
  • the horizontal motion of the gripper unit 40 has been implemented using a motion mechanism system 35, by connecting the gripper unit 40 to the frame 41 of the film fetching apparatus via an intermediate element 38 and horizontal guide rails 36a and corresponding slides.
  • Fig. 1 shows the top film roll 31 containing top film band 32 in the wrapping machine 10, with a cutting device 43 used to cut the top film band into top film sheets 33 of a size suited for the objects to be wrapped.
  • the end 39 of the top film band 32 cut by the cutting device 43 is squeezed in a pressing element 44, in which the grippers 50 and 51 of the gripper unit 40 can seize the edges of the top film band 32.
  • Fig. 2 presents a situation where the objects 12 to be wrapped are being exchanged, with the crank-type wrapping apparatus 20 of the wrapping machine 10 still inactive, and the completely wrapped object 12 presented in Fig. 1 has already been removed from the wrapping station 11 of the wrapping machine 10. The object to be wrapped next has not yet been brought into the wrapping station 11. From Fig. 2 it can be seen that the standstill of the wrapping apparatus 20 due to the exchange of objects 12 is utilized so that the film fetching apparatus 30 has already been started and is fetching a new length of top film 32 for the next object 12 to be wrapped.
  • the gripper unit 40 Before the horizontal movement of the motion mechanism 35, the gripper unit 40 has been raised to its high position, to a height where all grippers 50 and 51 of the gripper unit 40 in the downward-turned position are at a suitable height to be able to seize the edge of the top film band 32 being held in the grip of the pressing element 44 of the cutting device 43. As explained hereinafter, the gripper unit with its grippers 50 and 51 forms a pulling device for pulling the top film band 32, actuated by the motion mechanism 35. When at the height specified above, the gripper unit 40 is also at such a height that, as the motion mechanism 35 is moving to its extreme position on the left in Fig. 2, a supporting roller 60 mounted on the frame 60 of the wrapping machine 10 will support the gripper unit 40 from below.
  • the leading grippers 51 of the gripper unit 40 are in the high position because they have to be passed freely over the cutting device 43 severing the top film band 32, whereas the trailing grippers 50 attached to the gripper unit 40 and moving behind it as seen in the direction of motion are now in the low position with their jaws open, ready to seize the edge of the top film band 32 by a point near the band end 39 held by the cutting device 43.
  • the grippers 50 and 51 of the film fetching apparatus 30 have been turned to the high position, so the edges 34a and 34b of the top film sheet 33 are up and away from the area where the plastic film band 22 is being wound.
  • the wrapping action has already been started from the lower edge of the object 12 to be wrapped.
  • the gripper unit 40 can also be used as a press device, in which case the gripper unit 40 is pressed on the object to be wrapped so that the top film sheet 33 will remain between the gripper unit 40 and the object 12 to be wrapped.
  • the object 12 to be wrapped has been wrapped with plastic film band 22 so that that the wrapping film band roll 21 has moved once from bottom to top of the object 12 to be wrapped.
  • the gripper unit 40 is lowered onto the object 12 to be wrapped and the top film sheet 33 remains between the gripper unit 40 and the object 12 to be wrapped.
  • the grippers 50 and 51 of the gripper unit 40 release their grip on the top film sheet 33, the edges 34a and 34b of the top film sheet 33 will be bent downward by the action of gravity, settling against the sides of the object 12 to be wrapped.
  • the grippers 50 and 51 of the gripper unit 40 of the wrapping machine 10 can also be provided with adjustments to allow a variation of the distance between the grippers 50 and 51. This will enable the wrapping machine 10 to use top film sheets 33 of different sizes if the size of objects 12 to be wrapped varies.
  • top film sheet can be brought by the described method into a wrapping machine of any type. It is not restricted to the crank-type wrapping machine presented in the figures as an example embodiment.
