Definitions
- the present invention relates to a tension piece, a transport chain and a means for opening and closing the tension piece.
- each link is provided with a corresponding tensioning piece, which is opened and closed again when a first sprocket overflows and the packaging film web is thereby clamped.
- the tensioning piece is opened again and then closed, in which case the packaging film web is released again.
- clamping elements used are disclosed, for example, in DE 195 25 523, DE 33 15419, DE 23 55 921 and in Fr 81 110 60.
- the clamping pieces according to the prior art have the disadvantage that they are comparatively complex to manufacture and / or that they wear out comparatively quickly.
- the present invention was therefore based on the object of providing a clamping piece which does not have the disadvantages of the prior art.
- a clamping piece with: a bearing bracket with a first and second surface, a gill means which is slidably mounted in the bearing bracket and a clamping piece which cooperates with the first surface and has a foot, the clamping piece and the Foot over a center piece with each other are connected and the center piece has a smaller diameter than the foot and a spring which cooperates with the second surface and the foot.
- the middle piece and the foot are mounted in the bearing bracket.
- This embodiment of the present invention has the advantage that the clamping piece is particularly well secured against tilting on the bearing bracket.
- the clamping means preferably consists of two parts, the clamping piece and the central piece being one part and the foot the other part in a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the clamping piece is also particularly preferably one part and the middle piece and the foot the other part.
- the connection between the respective parts is preferably made by material and / or frictional connection.
- the bearing bracket is U-shaped.
- the bearing tab preferably has a preferably circular recess on the first surface, which interacts with the clamping piece. This embodiment of the present invention improves the clamping of the packaging films.
- the tensioning piece is preferably part of a transport chain for packaging film webs.
- the present invention therefore also relates to a transport chain which has the tensioning piece according to the invention.
- Another object of the present invention is a means for opening and closing a tensioning piece of a transport chain, which has two ramps, the tensioning piece being opened with the first ramp and the closing of the tensioning piece being controlled with the second ramp.
- the two ramps preferably have an arbitrary angle to one another, which is adjustable in a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the angle is preferably less than 180 °, very particularly preferably less than 130 ° and most preferably less than 90 °.
- the ramps preferably have a different slope, the slope of the ramp which the clamping piece opens preferably being greater than the ramp with which the clamping piece cooperates during its closing operation.
- the ramp does not have to be linear, but rather can be designed, for example, in a curve.
- the means according to the invention is preferably arranged on the same axis of a gearwheel with which a chain, which has the tensioning pieces to be opened and closed, is transported.
- the agent according to the invention has the advantage that it is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and has little wear.
- the stress on the clamping pieces is significantly lower in the agent according to the invention than in the prior art.
- Another object of the present invention is a disc for opening and closing a clamping piece, the axis of rotation of which is offset from the axis of rotation of a toothed wheel with which a chain is transported, which has the clamping pieces.
- the disk is preferably circular.
- the disk is also preferably rotatably mounted.
- the disc is mounted on the same shaft as the chain sprocket.
- the axis of rotation of the disk and / or the axis of rotation of the gearwheel are preferably inclined with respect to the vertical.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the gill means.
- Figure 2 shows another embodiment of the clamping means.
- Figure 3 shows a further embodiment of the clamping means.
- Figure 4 shows three embodiments of the closed clamping piece according to the invention in two views.
- Figure 5 shows three embodiments of the open clamping piece according to the invention in two views.
- Figure 6 shows an embodiment of the means for opening and closing the clamping piece.
- Figure 7 shows another embodiment of the means for opening and closing the clamping piece.
- Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of the means for opening and closing the clamping piece.
- Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the clamping means 3 of the clamping piece according to the invention.
- the clamping means 3 is divided into two parts, in the present case the clamping piece 4 and the middle piece 7 being one part and the foot 5 the other part.
- the middle piece 7 and the foot 5 are screwed together.
- the screw connection can be secured, for example, by an adhesive.
- the clamping piece 7 has an annular bulge 24 with which the film is pressed against a bearing bracket (not shown).
- FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the clamping means.
- This clamping means 3 essentially corresponds to the clamping means according to FIG. 1, with the exception that in the present case the middle piece 7 and the foot 5 are pressed together.
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of the clamping means 3.
- the clamping means 3 is divided into two parts, in the present case the foot 5 and the middle piece 7 being one part and the clamping piece 4 the other part.
- the middle piece 7 is connected to the clamping piece 4 by a flange 26. Otherwise, the comments on FIG. 1 apply.
- FIG. 4 shows three embodiments of the closed clamping piece 1 according to the invention in two views.
- the clamping pieces 1 each consist of a U-shaped mounting bracket 2, in which the clamping means 3 is mounted so that it can move substantially along its central axis.
- the clamping means 3 correspond to the clamping means according to FIGS. 1-3.
- Each clamping means 3 has a clamping piece 4, a middle piece 7 and a foot 5, which are connected to one another.
- the clamping piece 4 interacts with the first surface 6 of the bearing bracket 2 in such a way that a film can be clamped in between.
- the clamping piece has a bulge 24 and the surface 6 has a bulge 23, so that the film is clamped along a segment of a circular ring.
- the center piece 7 is slidably mounted in a bore in the bearing bracket 2.
- the foot 5 is slidably mounted in a further hole in the bearing bracket 2.
- a spring 8 is arranged in the region of the middle piece 7 and acts on one side with the foot 5 and on the other side with the surface 25 of the bearing bracket 2 together so that the clamping piece 4 is pulled against the surface 6 of the bearing bracket 2.
- the tensioning piece 1 according to the invention is in each case attached to the links 9 of a transport chain. With the transport chain, for example, film webs are transported in a packaging machine.
- FIG 5 shows the three embodiments of the clamping piece according to the invention according to Figure 4 in the open state.
- the opening takes place by a compressive force F, which acts on the foot 5 of the clamping means 3 from below and presses the clamping means 3 upwards relative to the bearing bracket 2, so that a gap 10 arises between the clamping piece 4 and the first surface 6, into which the film edge (not shown) can be inserted.
- the person skilled in the art recognizes that the force F need not act directly from below.
- the spring 8 is compressed between the second surface 25 and the foot 5.
- the force F is reduced so that the restoring force of the spring closes the gap 10 again and the film edge is clamped between the clamping piece 4 and the surface 6.
- the recess 24 is visible in the surface 6, which cooperates with the bulge 23, so that the film edge is clamped in along a circular ring segment.
- the clamping piece according to the invention can be opened and closed as often as desired.
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of a means 14 according to the invention for opening and closing the tensioning piece 3, which is in each case attached to a link 9 of the transport chain 13 (only partially shown).
- the transport chain 13 is driven and / or deflected by the gear 17.
- the direction of travel of the transport chain 13 is shown by the arrow.
- the means 14 is arranged on the same shaft 18 as the gear 17 but stationary.
- the means 14 has two ramps 15, 16.
- the feet 5 of the clamping piece 1 first run over the ramp 15 and are pressed upwards, so that the clamping piece 1 opens gradually. After opening and after the film edge (not shown) has been inserted, the foot 5 runs along the ramp 16 and the clamping piece 1 slowly closes again until it is completely closed and the film web is clamped.
- the ramps can each have any shape that optimally matches the Desired opening or closing behavior of the clamping piece is adjusted. The faster the clamping piece is to be opened or closed, the steeper the ramp must be and vice versa. However, it is also quite conceivable that the ramps have the shape of a curve and / or that the ramps 15, 16 are each designed differently in length and / or slope.
- the ramps have the particular advantage that an abrupt opening or closing of the clamping piece, as is customary in the case of means for opening or closing the clamping piece according to the prior art, is avoided, as a result of which wear and tear and / or tearing of the clamped film is reduced.
- FIG. 7 shows another embodiment of a means according to the invention for opening and closing the clamping piece, which differs from the means according to FIG. 6 in that the angle of the two ramps 15, 16 to one another is smaller in the present example than in the example according to FIG Figure 6.
- Figure 8 shows a further embodiment of a means for opening and closing the clamping piece, which is attached to a link 9 of the transport chain 13 (only partially shown).
- the transport chain 13 is driven and / or deflected by the gear 17.
- the direction of travel of the transport chain 13 is shown by the arrow.
- the means is a rotatably mounted disk 20, the axis of rotation 21 of which is offset from the axis of rotation 22 of the gear wheel 17.
- the clamping means 3 is displaced in the bearing bracket 2 such that a gap 10 is formed between the clamping piece 4 and the surface of the bearing bracket, into which the film edge can be inserted.
- the clamping piece is closed analogously.
