Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device and a method for put a carrying handle on a load.
  • burden we mean everything product or set of products having a substantially cuboid.
  • This handle consists of a ribbon whose both ends are provided with an adhesive. The handle is placed on the burden so that both ends coated with adhesive get stick on the vertical walls of the burden while the central part of the handle forms a handle for gripping and transporting the burden.
  • prepared handle is meant a handle that incorporates a label.
  • the labels are then placed regularly on the ribbon adhesive according to a defined pitch, the tape being in the form of a coil.
  • the rotary arm determines the length of a handle, the length of the handle being a function of the dimension of the burden.
  • Each burden therefore determines a handle length that has turn determines a length of rotating arm that carries out the laying and the sectioning of the ad hoc handle.
  • the ribbon spool includes a succession of handles arranged one behind the other other.
  • this problem is specific to handles prepared; in the case of an attached label, it is supplied at the time of installation and cutting of the adhesive tape, that is to say, independently of the laying and cutting of the ribbon.
  • This drift is due in particular to the fact that, during the pose, the rotating arm pulls on the tape to apply it to the burden.
  • This traction varies according to each coil in particular in depending on the sizing rate or the ambient temperature that acts on the viscosity of the adhesive and depending on where the ribbon is drawn from the coil.
  • the traction exerted on the ribbon causes an elongation of ribbon.
  • the coefficient of elongation itself varies from one coil to another and in practice the elongation of the ribbon is between 0.5% and 1.5%.
  • the actual length of the handle applied can vary between two extreme values ie 499 ⁇ 1,005 ie 501.5 mm and 501 ⁇ 1,015 is 508.51 mm.
  • the very important consequence to emphasize is that the ribbon length varies in a non-reproducible way which does not allow to determine, a priori, the elongation of the ribbon to integrate it into the length of the rotating arm.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose a laying device using a rotating arm to set prepared handles.
  • this device for laying on a burden moved on a conveyor, a handle n of a length nominal L located at the end of a ribbon comprising a succession of n + i handles each comprising two adhesive ends and a portion Central.
  • This device comprises means for supplying the ribbon up to a rotary arm for laying having a length equal to the nominal length L; the rotary arm can deposit an adhesive end of the handle n on a face of the burden then the second end of the handle n on a second face of the burden during an arm rotation of 180 ° synchronous with the advancement of the burden on the conveyor.
  • the basis of the invention is to make a compensation dynamic, ie after the observation of a shift of a handle in upstream of the handle awaiting installation, a correction of the length of the arm is performed.
  • This action on the length of the arm during the operation of the device results in the fact that the arm course of its rotation will tow a ribbon length greater than the nominal length and, thus, re-establishes correct positioning of the ribbon by compared to the arm.
  • the finding of a shift is immediately corrected.
  • the device comprises a means for optically detecting a shift in the position of a handle n + i.
  • an optical detection cell is placed on the tape unwinding path at a distance from the rotating arm equal to one multiple of the nominal length of a handle minus the length of an adhesive end, so that the cell that is placed on the tape tracking detects the presence of the central part that is generally opaque unlike the adhesive end which is translucent.
  • the cell is positioned so that its optical ray flush the central part of the handle n + i in the case of a handle in waiting time having a length equal to the nominal length and that its optical ray be cut through the central part of the handle n + i in the case of a pending handle with a length greater than the nominal length and thus advancing the ribbon a length insufficient.
  • the ends of the rotating arm are each equipped with a jack supporting a roller, on which the ribbon can be wound, each cylinder that can occupy a retracted position in which the length of the arm is equal to the nominal length and an extended position in which the length of the arm is then greater than the nominal length.
  • the means of supplying the ribbon include a mandrel on which a ribbon spool can be engaged and a series of pulleys guiding the ribbon to the rotating arm.
  • the device for fitting handles according to the invention as it Figure 1 includes several subassemblies, in addition to a conveyor 2 to band on which burdens 3 scroll continuously.
  • the device comprises a frame 5 which supports organs receiving a coil 6 of the adhesive tape 7 and the guide members of the ribbon 7 until laid on a load 3.
  • the ribbon 7 then passes through an oscillating muffle 9 that is to say a succession of rollers 10 mounted on an oscillating lever 12 for maintaining a constant tension in the ribbon 7 adhesive.
  • the ribbon 7 is wrapped around a drum 14 motorized drive.
  • the ribbon 7 then passes through a second muffle 17 oscillating tensioning of the tape 7 adhesive.
  • the adhesive tape 7 is guided to a rotating arm 18.
  • ribbon 7 goes to through an optical sensing cell.
  • the rotating arm 18 which turns counterclockwise on the example shown in FIG. 1 receives the adhesive tape; a clamp 20 is removable on each side of the arm 18 to maintain the ribbon 7 when it is in place on one or other of the faces of the 18.
  • a system of knife allows to cut a handle of the ribbon 7 during the rotation of the arm 18.
  • the arm 18 turns into opposition of the direction of movement of the conveyor 2.
  • the arm 18 In the waiting position, the arm 18 is oriented according to the vertical, and is therefore perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor 2.
  • the ribbon 7 extends over the entire face of the arm 18 opposite a burden 3 that presents itself.
  • the face of the tape 7 coated with adhesive is turned towards the outside of the arm 18.
  • the rotation movement is synchronized with the displacement of the burden 3 so that at the end of rotation the tape 7 sticks on the back side of the burden 3 (the front and back terms are given in reference to the direction of travel of the conveyor 2).
  • Synchronization of the speed of rotation of the arm 18 and the speed of the conveyor 2 is obtained by variable speed drives.
  • the ends of the arm 18 are each equipped with a jack 22 which supports a roller 23 on which wraps the adhesive tape.
  • Each of the cylinders 22 is piloted independently of one another.
  • the arm 18 has a length equal to the nominal length of the handle. As has been stated in the preamble to this document, the actual length of a handle varies randomly but however within a given interval
  • FIGS. 3,4,5,6 The operation of the arm 18 in relation to the cell 15 optical system is shown schematically in FIGS. 3,4,5,6 as a function of different cases of Fig.
  • ribbon 7 is shown in waiting position laying and two handles n + 1, n + 2 upstream; each of the handles has an opaque label 8.
  • the arm 18 is at the dimension corresponding to the nominal dimension of the handle.
  • the cell 15 which is positioned upstream of the arm 18 to a distance corresponding to three times the nominal length of a handful decreased by the length of the adhesive end detects on the n + 3 handle an offset.
  • the shift detection is carried out by the fact that the label of the n + 3 handle cuts the optical beam of the cell.
  • the cell 15 observes the shift of the handle n + 1 and of all the handles that precede it.
  • the cell 15 is connected to a control unit 16 which may be a microprocessor, to which the cell 15 sends a signal if an offset is detected between the position theoretical and real of the handle n + 3.
  • a control unit 16 which may be a microprocessor, to which the cell 15 sends a signal if an offset is detected between the position theoretical and real of the handle n + 3.
  • the control unit 10 can of course control other function of the device.
  • the deployment of the jack 22 has the consequence of increasing the length of the arm 18.
  • the handle n + 1 is placed on the burden 3 by the rotation of the arm 18. Now, this rotational movement is performed with an arm 18 having a length greater than the nominal length of a handle. This makes it possible to immediately correct the positioning fault since the ribbon 7 is towed longer than the length nominal.
  • the jack 22 which was deployed is retracted, bringing the arm 18 to a length equal to the nominal length.
  • the cylinders 22 are not actuated systematically to each rotation but only when an increase in the handle awaiting installation on the arm 18.
  • an important feature of the device is the presence of a motorized drum 14 on the path of the ribbon 7.
  • This drum 14 ensures a recovery of the tensile force of the ribbon 7.
  • Such a coil 6 presents so a very important inertia that the rotation of the arm 18 alone can have difficulties to overcome.
  • the drum 14 rotates.
  • an oscillating muffle 17 is interposed between the drum 14 and the arm 18 which constantly maintains a constant voltage in the ribbon 7.
  • the device thus described has the many advantages previously indicated and allows in particular to deposit handles said prepared by means of a device 18 rotating arm.
  • the invention is not limited to the form of described above as an example but it embraces contrary all forms of realization. So, if in the example described, the ribbon 7 has handles whose central part consists of a cardboard label, one could consider using the device according to the invention for handles whose central part is simply materialized by an impented zone. For detecting the offset of a handle upstream of the handle being laid, a system is provided optical detection but it could be consider a probe detecting the excess thickness of a label 8, when it is not at its position normal.
