Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for packaging objects by means of packaging envelopes, in particular hoods, made of plastic film.
  • Another option is to cover a shrink film hood, which is larger than the object when being pulled over and which is subsequently with heat in a shrink tunnel or with is heated around the object shrink burners, so that the film shrinks tightly around the object sets. Covering the hood is not easy, since the foil hood tends to stick to the object and unevenness functionally and visually when covering after shrinking to disturb. It has already been proposed for this, one in a frame clamped hood made of shrink wrap in a large arc to guide the object so that it inflates like a parachute and then place it evenly over the object. This device is elaborate in their manufacture, their space requirement and their function. The heat effect during shrinking is also not the case with all packaging goods he wishes.
  • the hood stretch process is also known.
  • the packaging device a covering device, the holding elements to keep an opening of the casing and a reefing device open has the envelope.
  • the reefing device the from above Holding element supplied "reefft" on the holding elements, ie in wrapped around the circumferential folds, so that the entire envelope except the bottom as a folded hose in a relatively small space around the Holding elements sets.
  • the cover is usually made of a film tube made of stretchable film manufactured as a gusseted tube, i.e. over most of its Width fourfold, fed from a roll. This is then by a separating welding device located above the coating device welded and separated from the rest of the hose. The section containing the weld seam, the bottom of the Hood forms and finally with the object to be packaged Covers the top, becomes free after the separation welding and falls on the Pull down device. With fully automatic packaging machines This is the type with the most precise alignment and Uniform, trouble-free working possible, the reefing so far perform evenly that the hood bottom is even spans between the holding elements.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device of the type described create the covering of a packaging envelope over to be packaged Improved items.
  • a uniform The packaging envelope can be received, both at automatic, as well as semi-automatic or manually operated Packaging devices.
  • the coating device in a Refflage is movable, in which the holding elements below the pulling device hanging shell at its top, a shell opening grip the forming edge and in the reefing device from below is aligned in the top.
  • the covering device is a swivel device assigned with which the pulling device into the pulling position is pivotable.
  • the invention thus makes it possible to freely slide the envelope downwards when reefing hang out so that they are evenly inserted upwards until the hood bottom between the holding elements, usually four holding fingers, is excited. Then the entire coating device turned into the overlay position, usually by 180 °, so that now the tube gathered over a small axial length over the Object is driven and led down on it. It lies down first the bottom on the items to be packed and the side The jacket of the packaging envelope is stretched out of the material down from.
  • the hood stretching is done by increasing the distance beforehand the holding elements from each other the opened hood in its opening width stretched or stretched so far that the Diameter smaller envelope pulled over the objects can become, but after the meeting closely and exciting about the Objects.
  • a welding device can be provided through the film tube a separating weld closes and separates.
  • the device can be convenient arranged below the coating device and possibly with a Film feed connected by a film roll arranged next to it his.
  • a swivel frame is provided on which the holding elements, including the stretch drive possibly provided for the hood stretching, and the reefing device are provided.
  • This frame can on a support column using a height-adjustable slide and one fork-like carrier be stored.
  • a pre-made To hang the film hood over the holding fingers projecting downwards carry out the check and then the frame 180 ° around a central axis to pan. After that, either the frame is over packing objects or driving them, e.g.
  • the reefing device can have a reef drive with reefing rollers for each holding element which e.g. works with rollers that are electromotive are driven. If possible, these should be electrically synchronized to ensure an even reef. You are springy pressed on, but can be lifted off to thread the hood opening.
  • reef drives have a blowout control have, which the reefed casing sections when covering released synchronously controlled or braked. This can be done by reversing the reef drives are executed.
  • FIG. 1 shows a packaging device 11 for objects, for example Units 13 stacked on pallets 12, such as individual boxes, Bricks or the like (see Fig. 3 and 4).
  • the packaging device 11 comprises a U-shaped stand 14 standing frame 15.
  • a portal-shaped column goes from the foot 14 16, which protrudes vertically upwards and one in the vertical direction (Arrow 17) movable carriage 18 is guided.
  • the drive for the Carriage is provided in a drive box 19 on this. He can with an electric motor and a drive transmission, for example a combination rack / pinion, with chain drive or cable pull, be trained.
  • a U-shaped or fork-like carrier 20 is attached to the slide 18, which lies in a substantially horizontal plane.
  • a square swivel frame 21 arranged to be pivotable about a horizontally extending pivot axis 22, which is half within the carrier.
  • the swing frame forms part of a coating device 23, which is on the inside Frame articulated pivot arms 26.
  • Two each of the total four swivel arms are on brackets 25 inside the swivel frame 21 arranged and via swivel drives 24 in the form of hydraulics or pneumatic cylinders so that they swivel at their ends provided holding elements 27, which are also referred to as spreading fingers could, between a position in which it is a smaller rectangle span (Fig.
  • the holding elements 27 protrude from the swivel arms 26 from vertical, so are perpendicular to the swing frame 21 spanned level. They are at their free ends to the center of the swivel frame and have a round, e.g. circular cross section.
  • Fig. 2 shows schematically a part of the covering device 23, and two of the swivel arms 26 with the associated holding elements 27 and a reefing device not shown in FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity 28, which is assigned to each swivel arm.
  • the reefing device 28 is used for reefing, i.e. from the opening edge 35 from the beginning crinkled, bellows-like pushing together of a packaging envelope 29, which is formed from a film tube.
  • Each of the has four reefing devices 28, which are shown only schematically here a reef roller 30 which is driven by a geared motor 31.
  • she is articulated on the swivel arm 26 by means of a rocker 32 and is pressed against the holding element by means of a compression spring 33. Via a handle 34, it can be used to thread the edge of the opening 35 of the packaging sleeve 29 is lifted off the holding element 27 become.
  • a packaging sleeve 29 which consists of a plastic film material that has sufficient elastic stretching property and either as already finished, 36 closed hood at the bottom by a weld is present or from a hose material wound on a roll by welding in a separating welding station 37, as shown in FIG. 2 is indicated schematically, is produced.
  • the hose is there preferably wound as a so-called gusseted tube, i.e.
  • the two Sides are placed in such a way that the film forming the cover up to on a narrow area in the middle four times and thus approximately H-shaped structure.
  • This foil with a Cross weld seam is therefore only half as long as the entire seam 36 Foil tube would be wide without the gusset structure, and the Weld seam joins four foil webs.
  • the separation welding station separates the bottom 41 of the casing thus formed from the subsequent one Hose that is not welded, but only cut off is so that the new opening edge 35 is formed there again.
  • the covering device 23 is in a reefing position located.
  • the swivel frame 21 by hand or, at one fully or semi-automatic machine, also motorized, around the axis 22 rotated by 180 ° so that the holding elements 27 point downward.
  • the opening edge 35 of the sleeve 29 was after lifting off the reefing devices via the handle 34 between the reefing rollers 30 and the holding elements 27 clamped, and as evenly as possible.
  • the shell of the sleeve 29 is in each case behind the holding elements 27 formed, circumferential reef space 39 conveyed into it and deposits there as a pleated bead or bellows 40. It will long performed until the bottom 41 of the packaging envelope (Fig. 3) clamped evenly between the four holding elements.
  • the casing 29 during the reefing process hangs down evenly and undisturbed and beyond
  • the four reefing devices are driven synchronously Envelope evenly and symmetrically interlocked so that the bottom is smooth and can run wrinkle-free and the weld 36 substantially in runs the middle of the floor.
  • Swing frame particularly good for an operator to attach the Shell accessible.
  • the packaging device is now used to pack an object 13 23 brought into the pull-over position by turning the Swivel frame 21 rotated back about the axis 22 by 180 ° is (see arrow 42 in Fig. 1). It is then again shown in FIG. 1 Layer, but provided with the packaging envelope, which, as Fig. 3rd shows, spans the holding elements 27 and outside of the circumferential Bead 40 has upturned film material.
  • the stretching or stretching of the packaging envelope is then carried out.
  • Controlled by a control device in the drive box 19 is now hydraulic or pneumatic pressure on the actuating cylinder 24 given that the four swivel arms 26 in the sense of a Increasing the distances between the holding elements 27 to the outside to press.
  • the swivel arms are arranged that the path of movement of the holding elements 27 approximately diagonally to Swing frame 21 runs (arrow 43).
  • the holding elements 27 By moving the holding elements 27 apart, the packaging envelope 29 in its cross section, i.e. their width, enlarged. Either the bottom 41 as well as the gathered bead 40 is under a considerable preload is set, but in the elastic range remains.
  • the holding elements 27, which previously had a square shape Define the area that was smaller than the horizontal cross-section of the object 44 to be packed, stretched to a width that it enables the covering device, i.e. the swing frame 21 inclusive the holding elements etc. attached to it, from top to top to drive over the object below.
  • the swivel arms 26 and the holding elements 27 dimensioned and arranged so that the spanned by it Opening is adapted to the format of the pallet and between a position that is slightly smaller than the cross section of the pallet (Fig. 2) and a correspondingly larger position (Fig. 3 and 4) changeable is.
  • the packaging envelope lays down after it when the pulling device runs downward (see arrow 45) from the holding elements 27 is released, dense and exciting around the object, and evenly and simultaneously on all sides.
  • the foil jacket is removed from the bead 40 because the bottom 41 overlaps has placed the top and thus axially retains the film.
  • the motors 31 can depending on the training and the tension and sliding conditions between Foil and holding elements 27 run the film freely by either the motors 31 are switched to freewheeling or the roller is lifted off becomes.
  • the geared motors 31 can preferably be operated in “reverse gear” are driven (see arrow 46 in Fig. 4) to the free output to support the packaging sleeve jacket 47. If necessary would, a targeted braking effect could also apply via the reefing roller 30 all four corners. That is described by the Control device initiated and controlled.
  • the pulling device could also be between two side by side lying stations shifted back and forth or pivoted sideways in the first station the hanging and arrival of the Envelope is made (according to Fig. 2) while in the next to it lying cover the covering device 23 over the standing there Object is pulled.
  • the arrangement shown is more space-saving. It is also possible to put the items on a conveyor belt or another conveyor of the packaging device and then remove it again.
  • the holding elements needed 27 not to have the stretch drive 24, 26 shown in FIG. 1, but could either be fixed to the swivel frame or just be arranged adjustable. Also there would be the reflage accordingly Fig. 2, the threading and arrival of the packaging sleeve and in the position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the covering of the then packaging case not under tension.
  • the advantage is with all versions that the case in each position a clear and not in a random location. It hangs in the reef position straight down under gravity and is smooth in the overlay taut floor evenly grooved.
