Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for tensioning and closing strapping tapes, in particular straps made of plastic, for package strapping, with a strap channel which receives the overlapping strap ends of the strapping strap and is essentially open on a longitudinal outer side and the front and rear end faces, the one on its longitudinal inner side Has band edge guide for the inner edges of the strapping, with an arranged in the front region of the device, partially during tensioning in the band channel, acting on one of the two ends of the tensioning roller and with a strap closing device arranged behind in the tensioning direction.
- Devices of this type are used to provide packages, such as large boxes or loaded pallets, with straps and thus to hold together the goods or boxes stacked on the pallet and secure them for transport.
- a solid band usually made of plastic, is placed around the package, the band ends of which are braced against one another with the aid of the device and then connected to one another.
- the connection is generally made with the aid of a friction welding device which forms the closing device.
- it is necessary to press the tension roller against the one, generally upper strap end with a comparatively large force during the tensioning process.
- the tensioning roller is overhung in order to make it easy to insert the strap ends into the strap channel from its longitudinal outside and to easily remove the device from the finished strapping.
- the tensioning roller is mounted on the fly, the high pressure forces during the tensioning process cause the axle or shaft of the tensioning wheel to bend and the tensioning roller to line up on the longitudinal outside of the belt channel.
- the contact pressure exerted by the tensioning roller on the upper end of the band is not uniform over the width of the band, but the pressure in the region of the inner band edge is greater than at the outer edge.
- the higher pressure force on the inner edge of the tensioned band end also causes a greater (plastic) deformation of the (plastic) band than in the area of the outer band edge, i.e.
- the tensioned (upper) band end becomes thinner in the area of the inner band edge and at the same time longer than on the outer edge, whereby it is deflected towards the longitudinal outside of the band channel and in the area of the closing device after the tensioning process does not rest on the other (lower) band end with exact edges.
- the strap ends are then not connected to one another over their entire width, as a result of which the strength of the strapping suffers.
- the object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages and to design a device of the type mentioned at the outset such that the ends of the strip which are thus braced against one another lie largely without offset on the longitudinal outside of the strip channel in the region of the closing device even without a strip edge guide.
- band edge guide is inclined on the longitudinal inside of the band channel to the tensioning direction of the tensioning roller in the direction of the longitudinal outside of the belt channel.
- the inner band edge guide therefore does not run parallel to the tensioning direction of the tensioning roller and thus not at right angles to its axis, but is positioned somewhat obliquely to the tensioning direction, so that it runs essentially parallel to the position of the (upper) end of the tape acted upon by the tensioning roller during the tensioning process , Since the second (lower) band end also bears against the band guide arranged at an angle to the tensioning roller, it is in the area of the closing device in the same alignment as the first, tensioned band end and is thus connected to it over its entire width.
- the tapes lying one above the other are thus aligned obliquely to the tensioning direction so that a force component acting on the longitudinal inside of the tape channel is generated by the tensioning wheel on the (upper) tape to be tensioned during the transport and tensioning process, which component causes the free tape to run to the outside of the tape channel as a result of belt deformation caused by the tensioning roller is compensated.
- An additional, external band edge guide in the area of the band closing device can thus be completely dispensed with.
- the belt edge guide is preferably essentially formed by a front edge stop arranged near the tensioning roller and a rear edge stop in the vicinity of the belt closing device, the rear edge stop projecting further into the longitudinal direction on the outside of the belt channel than the front edge stop.
- the tape ends are only guided in their inner edges where their position is particularly important, namely in particular in the area of the closing device and on the tensioning roller.
- the belt edge guide is expediently oriented at an angle of 1 ° to 6 ° to the tensioning direction of the tensioning roller, which corresponds to the angle around which the free strap end - depending on the type of strap material used and the size of the pressure force of the tensioning roller - relative to the tangential - Or the tensioning direction of the tensioning roller is directed in the direction of the longitudinal inside of the band channel delimited by the band edge guide.
- the strip edge guide can be adjustable in its angular position relative to the tensioning direction, which makes it possible to adapt the device to the extent of the strip end deflection to be compensated for.
- the strap edge guide prefferably be adjustable transversely to the tensioning direction, in order to take into account the different widths of the strapping strips used, if this is desired in individual cases.
- the front and / or rear edge stop is preferably adjustable transversely to the tensioning direction of the tensioning roller, whereby on the one hand the angular position of the belt edge guide and on the other hand the effective width of the belt channel can be varied.
- the tape channel in its front area near the tensioning roller can be closed with an external tape stop, which can be lowered together with the tensioning roller and thus an unintentional escape of the tape laterally from the tape channel prevented by the tensioning roller during the transport and tensioning process.
- FIG. 2 shows a partial cross section through the device according to FIG. 1 in the region of its tensioning device along the line II-II;
- Fig. 3 shows a section through the device of FIG. 1 along the line III-III.
- the device designated 10 in its entirety in the drawing serves to produce a strapping 11 for a package 12 by means of a plastic strapping band which is placed around the package and the two strap ends 13, 14 of which are clamped against one another by means of the device and then welded together ,
- the device has a band channel 18, which extends in the longitudinal direction and is open on a longitudinal outer side 15 and the front and rear end faces 16, 17, which is delimited at the bottom by a pressure plate 19 and into which a tensioning roller 20 of a tensioning device 21 is shared from above a front, outer band stop 36 is adjustable.
- the strap ends are inserted into the strap channel from the longitudinal outside 15 of the channel.
- the tensioning roller 20 and the outer band stop 36 are pivoted downward after the insertion of the band ends 13, 14 into the band channel 18, as a result of which the outer band stop 36 prevents the band from emerging again from the channel.
- the tensioning roller presses firmly on the upper band end 13 during the tensioning process and pulls it in the tensioning direction 22 over the lower band end 14 until the desired band tension is reached.
- a closing device with friction welding unit 24 arranged behind the tensioning roller in the tensioning direction 22 moves this upper end of the band back and forth at high speed over the lower end of the band so that the two ends of the band weld together as a result of the frictional heat generated.
- the operation of such devices is known, so that a detailed description will be omitted here.
- the tensioning roller 20 is overhung in the housing 25 of the device with a roller bearing 26 and protrudes from the longitudinal inside 27 of the band channel 18 to the inside.
- a roller bearing 26 In order to be able to tension the upper band end 13 with the desired high tensile force, it is necessary to press the tensioning roller 20 with great force onto the strapping band with the aid of an adjusting mechanism (not shown in greater detail).
- the device according to the invention in the rear region of the band channel only needs one band edge guide 30 arranged on the longitudinal inside 27 in order to compensate for the negative effect of the uneven compression of the upper band end during tensioning.
- the belt edge guide 30, which in the exemplary embodiment essentially consists of a front edge stop 31 arranged near the tensioning roller 20 and a rear edge stop 32 near the friction welding unit, is oblique to the tensioning direction 22 of the tensioning roller 20 at an angle of approximately 3 ° arranged, ie the rear edge stop protrudes further in the direction of the longitudinal outer side 15 into the band channel 18 than the front edge stop.
- the band edge guide 30 formed by the two edge stops ensures that the two band ends 13, 14 in the band channel 18 are not approximately parallel to the tensioning direction 22 of the tensioning roller, but run at an angle obliquely to the tensioning direction, which corresponds at least approximately to the angle by which upper band end 13 is deflected during the tensioning process as a result of the non-uniform contact forces over the bandwidth.
- the two belt ends are thus in the inlet area 33 in the tensioning direction 22 in front of the tensioning roller 20 as far as possible on top of one another, as can be seen in FIG. 3, and are aligned with one another in the area of the closing device 23. With the friction welding unit, they are welded horizontally so that the weld seam is given the highest possible strength.
- the rear edge stop 32 is arranged in the housing 25 so as to be adjustable transversely to the clamping direction 22, as is indicated by the double arrow 35. This makes it possible to change the angle ⁇ by which the band edge guide 30 is inclined relative to the tensioning direction 22. This can take into account the fact that the amount of compression of the upper end of the band and thus its deflection changes from band material to band material and as a function of the pressure forces exerted.
- the angular adjustment of the strip edge guide which is possible in this way can be carried out in a simple manner by means of an adjusting screw (not shown) accessible from the outside of the housing; it is even conceivable to implement an automatic adjustment of the rear edge stop, which is dependent on a deflection of the axis 28 of the tensioning roller determined by means of measuring sensors and a predetermined plastic tape material. rials sets the correct position of the rear edge stop with an actuator.
- the invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiment shown and described, but various changes and additions are conceivable without leaving the scope of the invention. So it is easily possible to make the front edge stop adjustable transversely to the clamping direction.
- the belt edge guide can also consist, for example, of a continuous guide rail which extends essentially from the front to the rear end of the pressure plate.
