Definitions

  • the strapping device like the strapping devices according to EP-1207107 and US-5078057 in the strapping position on a closing area under the support surface in which a loop channel begins and ends, in which the strapping material for looping is fed into the loop channel in which the the loop channel guided, free loop end is held, in which the strapping material is withdrawn to reduce the tension and the loop of the loop channel and in which closed the strapping and separated from further supplied strapping material becomes.
  • the loop channel which is substantially formed as a groove in the support surface, runs in two opposite directions from the Schliess Scheme starting from the Umreifungsposition and closes around the Umreifungsposition (or to the largest floor plan of an object to be strapped) around.
  • the closing area is located, for example, in the center under an object to be strapped and, for longitudinal strapping, the beginning and end of the loop channel run parallel to the conveying direction.
  • a longitudinal strapping using the device according to the invention is carried out in the following manner.
  • the groove-shaped loop channel for example, by inserting a free end of the strapping material from the closing area forth until the closing area where the loop end is held, presented a loop.
  • means may also be provided for pulling the strapping material into the loop channel.
  • FIG. 1 shows the strapping position of an exemplary embodiment of the strapping device according to the invention.
  • This is equipped for a central L Lucassumreifung an object 1, which is conveyed in a substantially horizontal conveying direction F on a support surface 2 in the Umreifungsposition and after strapping back in the conveying direction F from the Umreifungsposition addition.
  • the closing area 3 is set in a corresponding recess of the support surface 2 below the level of the support surface. From the closing area 3 extends parallel to the conveying direction F in both directions a recessed into the support surface 2, groove-shaped loop channel 4, which closes on one side to the floor plan 5 of a largest object to be strapped around.
  • the loop guide 10 can also have a plurality of slide rails instead of the two slide rails 10.1 and 10.2 shown in FIG. 1, or it can be designed as a single, flat element.
  • the loop guide 10 rises within the loop channel 4 and on one side of the strapping position from the support surface 2 and arches over or against the strapping position, such that its upper end is positioned approximately above the closure region 3, for example.
  • the outside of the loop guide 10 is equipped for a sliding movement of the strapping material.
  • Figures 4A and 4B show a plan view of the support surface two variants, according to which a band-shaped strapping material 6 can be arranged in the loop channel and through the closing area. It is ever a belt loop shown and very schematically the closing area 3, in which the strapping material 6 fed into the loop channel (direction Z), the free end 7 held and the strapping material 6 is withdrawn from the loop channel (direction R) is. The loop channel is not shown.
  • the rotatability of the tape holder may be active or passive depending on the stiffness of the strapping.
  • the rotatable band holder advantageously has elastic return means, by which the band holder, as soon as the strapping band is removed therefrom, is rotated back into the starting position.
  • the pressing elements 42 can be lowered by means of a common drive 41 onto the object 1 to be strapped.
  • the drive 41 is realized, for example, as a chain hoist 43 arranged below the bearing surface 2 with traverses 44 coupled thereto and with a respective vertical carrier 45 arranged laterally of the strapping position for each pressing element 42.
  • the pressing members 42 may be formed as simple relative to the vertical supports 45 stationarily arranged pressing plates.
  • they are, as shown in Figure 7, configured as angled toggle 46, which are arranged tiltable about an axis 47 in the region of the upper ends of the vertical support 45 and each one extending over the Umreifungsposition, pressing part 46.1 and a have laterally extending part 46.2.
  • the knee lever part 46.2 is distanced for example by means of spring 48 from the vertical support 45, such that the toggle lever part 46.1 is directed at uncompressed spring 48 from the axis of rotation 47 from below.
  • the pressing elements 42 can simultaneously also assume a guiding function for a loop released from the loop guide 10.
  • freely rotatable rollers 50 are arranged at the two ends of the toggle parts 46.1 and 46.2 and optionally also between them, of which a guide band 51, whose both ends are fixed to stationary parts of the device is held in a predetermined position.
  • Each of the four pressing elements 42 is associated with at least one such guide band 51.
  • the guide bands 51 extend on one side of the Lfitsumreifungsebene L from the loop channel 30 for Querumreifung on the other side of the Lnaturereifungsebene L from the end of the loop guide 10 to the end of the pressing toggle 46.1, from there to the end of the side toggle 46.2 and from there against the supporting surface.
  • the guide bands 51 are optionally held slightly stretched with suitable means, not shown.
