Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for strapping, in particular for LekssumMail of packaged with a strapping, comprising a provided on a device table channel-like, in which einschtigbare strapping band leading tape guide, which strapping around the wrapped by the tape guide frame packaged and welded in the tensioned state at a connecting portion is.
  • Such a device is known for example from DE 200 07 231 U1.
  • the packaged goods to be strapped for example, a catalog or magazine stack, placed on a device not described in more detail on the device table, wherein the packaged material is also compressed during the actual strapping process via suitable pressing elements, so that it can be laced as tightly.
  • the position at which the strapping band is placed around the packaged goods depends on where the provisioning device places the stack of packaged goods on the device table. A device-side influenceability is not given, since after the shutdown of the still compressed stack of packaged goods in its table-side position is no longer changeable.
  • the invention is based on the problem to provide a device that allows a more flexible working.
  • the device table is supported on a suitable longitudinal guide, for example guide rails or the like, and can be moved with respect to the packaged goods provided by the provision device, which can also be called bar forming device.
  • the device table undercuts the packaged goods pressed together by the provision device, the strip guide frame being guided laterally past the packaged goods.
  • the packaged goods are brought by the supply device only in a predetermined, with respect to the tape guide frame and the table aligned position, so that the frame easily passed and the table can be easily driven under. It is obvious that in this way any positioning of the device table and the tape guide frame with respect to the packaged goods is possible. It is readily possible to position the table and the frame exactly centered with respect to the packaged goods, and any other position can be taken.
  • the device table moves taking the packaged goods in the non-working position, after completion of the strapping the Supply device of course relieves the packaged goods, so no longer compresses.
  • a particularly expedient embodiment of the invention provides that the device table together with the tape guide frame in several different strapping positions is positionable with respect to the packaged goods.
  • the movability makes it possible, for example, to approach two defined positions with respect to the packaged goods, a front and a rear, so that two bands can be stretched around the packaged goods.
  • the pressing arms of the provisioning device expediently engage from the side of the packaged goods, so that the device table can drive directly under the pile bottom and, after strapping, the packaged product itself rests directly on the device table. In order to be able to compress the packaged goods safely, the pressing arms must engage laterally on the stack of packaged goods.
  • Taking along the packaged goods can be ensured in several ways.
  • safe entrainment can already be ensured on the basis of the dead weight of the packaged goods, which rests on the device table after strapping.
  • a stack of goods has a dead weight of about 150 kg, which is often sufficient for it to be taken when returning.
  • the device table can be provided on the device table at least one engaging on strapped Packgut entraining means for the packaged.
  • This entrainment means thus interacts with the packaged goods, holds this with respect to the device table and thus ensures safe entrainment.
  • the entrainment means can be a driver movable between a lowered position and a raised entrainment position, for example a driving plate which, if required, is raised at the front end of the device and engages behind the stack of goods.
  • a driver movable between a lowered position and a raised entrainment position
  • a driving plate which, if required, is raised at the front end of the device and engages behind the stack of goods.
  • other drivers are conceivable.
  • the entrainment means is a negative pressure generating means, wherein the negative pressure can be applied via table-side openings to the packaged goods lying thereon.
  • the packaged product is sucked in this invention alternative on the generated negative pressure to the device table and fixed so.
  • the negative pressure here does not have to be too strong, because of course also the weight contributes to fixing the position of the stack on the device table.
  • the table-side openings can be arranged substantially in the center of the table, so that it is ensured that they are also covered by the strapped packaged goods.
  • the tape guide frame itself may be rigidly disposed on the apparatus table or pivotally with respect to the table.
  • the table can be moved with respect to the packaged in two or more working positions, in each of which a strapping is applied, the table after the last strapping in the non-working position under entrainment the strapped packaged goods returns.
  • the respective working positions can either be fixed, that is, the table is driven over a the traversing and working operation controlling control device in the defined working positions.
  • there is also the possibility of realizing a flexible positioning by detecting the packaged goods geometry as already described by means of a suitable sensor and determining the desired workstation or the several working positions with respect to the actual position and size of the packaged goods and then approaching them. This can also be done in the control device.
  • the pressing arms can be somewhat relieved after the possibly last strapping, so that the previously held just above the top of the table packaged with its own weight rests on the table.
  • the packaged goods can remain firmly on the table when driving back due to its own weight position and can be taken along.
  • at least one entrainment means provided on the table can be actuated, which acts on the packaged goods, holding them.
  • a driver may be provided, which is moved before returning to a driving position.
  • two or more drivers can be used.
  • the entrainment means a negative pressure generating means, wherein the negative pressure is applied via table-side openings to the packaged product.
  • the negative pressure can be generated continuously and attack after discontinuation of the strapped packaged goods at this. It is also conceivable, however, to generate the negative pressure intermittently, that is to put on the packaged goods only immediately before returning.
  • FIG. 1 shows, in the form of a schematic diagram, a strapping device 1 according to the invention with a supply device 2 assigned to it, via which the packaged goods 3 to be strapped are provided.
  • the device 1 and the provisioning device 2 together form a strapping system, both act together.
  • the packaged goods 3 are compressed by means of clip-like pressing arms 4 engaging on the sides thereof, see FIG. 2.
  • the pressing arms 4 together with the packaged goods 3 can be moved horizontally on the supply device, as shown by the arrow A.
  • the receiving of the packaged goods takes place, for example, at the left-hand end of the supply device 2 in FIG. 2, while the strapping device 1 is at the right-hand end.
  • the pressing arms 4 together with packaged goods 3 then move as shown in FIG. 2 into a defined position with respect to the strapping device 1.
  • the packaged goods 3 are positioned with respect to the strapping device 1 so that they are just above a device table 5 and within or centrically relative to a strap guide frame 6 , which is rigidly mounted on the device table 5 in the image shown, is arranged. This is shown in Fig. 3, which shows an end view of the arrangement of Fig. 1.
  • the strapping apparatus 1 has, as already described, a device table 5 on which a strapping band roll 7 is arranged, from which the strapping band is pulled off.
  • a tape storage not shown in detail is further provided, in which the withdrawn strapping is first performed.
  • the tape storage is followed by a Einsch manvorraum over which the strapping tape is injected into the U-shaped, inside hollow tape guide frame 6.
  • the front end is again guided into the device table, collected there, stretched around the packaged goods and then firmly welded to a different band section via a welding device integrated in the table, after which the strapping band is cut off.
  • This is well known in the art and requires no further detail, as it does not matter for the present invention.
  • the packaged goods 3 has been properly positioned with respect to the apparatus table 5 and the tape guide frame 6, which is e.g. can be detected by a suitable sensor system (for example light barriers and the like), the device table 5 moves on a longitudinal guide 8, in the example shown a frame frame from the non-working position shown in Fig. 1 in the working position shown in Fig. 4.
  • a suitable sensor system for example light barriers and the like
  • the device table 5 moves on a longitudinal guide 8, in the example shown a frame frame from the non-working position shown in Fig. 1 in the working position shown in Fig. 4.
  • any movement means are conceivable, e.g. motor driven rollers, gears, belts etc.
  • the device table 5 goes down the packaged goods 3, i. the table top 9 is the working position shown in Fig. 4 below the packaged 3.
  • the distance between the table top 9 and the Packgutgeber is preferably a few millimeters.
  • the tape guide frame 6 is guided past the packaged goods 3 laterally.
  • Fig. 4 shows the position of the device table 5 and the tape guide frame 6 in the working position.
  • the tape guide frame 6 overlaps the packaged goods 3 substantially in the center. This defines the position at which the strapping band is stretched around the packaged goods.
  • rollers or rollers 10 and on the opposite side of an endless belt conveyor 11 are provided in the embodiment shown on the front side, which will be discussed below.
  • the rollers or rollers 10 serve to let the packaged goods 3, if it is positioned a bit too low, so that the device table 5 can safely go under.
  • the device table 5 moves with respect to the packaged goods, it is now possible to move it in any position with respect to the packaged, so defined to approach any working positions in which strapping bands are set.
  • the device table 5 together with the tape guide frame 6 is moved in such a way that the strapping belt is clamped substantially centrally around the packaged goods 3.
  • Fig. 5 shows the sake of clarity, the upper portion of the tape guide frame 6 is not, but only the strapped strap 12. It is possible, however, to put two instead of the one Umreifungsbands 12 in different areas. For this purpose, only appropriate working positions would have to be approached.
  • a working position may be either defined, i. the device table moves in front of certain positions, e.g. the center position shown in Fig. 5 at.
  • a not shown in detail preferably in the device table 5 integrated control device that processes the sensor signals, can decide whether one or two bands are to be set, depending on the measured length, and where this should take place.
  • the strapped packaged goods is conveyed by pressing the endless belt conveyor 11 on a conveyor device downstream of the device table 14, where it is transported away.
  • the two pressing arms 4, as shown in FIG. 7, move to the left in the direction of the left end of the provisioning device 2 in order to receive a new stack of goods there and to press them together.
  • the press arms 4 move back into the position shown in Figures 1 and 2 with respect to the device table, a new strapping process can begin.
