Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for wrapping a palletized load for closing the upper face of said load, and the corresponding wrapping process.
- “Wrapping” means the total or partial recovery of some sides of a palletized load using film, in particular by helical winding.
- the wrapping of the upper face of the load can be only quite partial, simply to allow the contacting of at least two strips of film with which the wrapping of the side faces of the pallet was made, and their welding above the palletized load.
- a machine also called “wrapping machine”
- wrapping machine which comprises a pivoting or non-pivoting support on which the pallet is placed, a gantry - or the like - comprising at least one vertical arm on which a carriage supporting an unwinder device.
- film is mobile in vertical translation.
- the carriage and the load are rotatable relative to one another so that during wrapping, the film is arranged around the load in a rising and / or descending helical movement.
- the unwinder device being rotatably mounted about a horizontal axis, on the carriage, it is thus possible during the rotation of the pivoting support, to move the carriage over the upper face of the palletized load, and to tilt the film unwinding device so as to apply the latter horizontally on the upper face when the carriage is down.
- the wrapping machine may comprise several arms each provided with a carriage carrying a film unwinder device.
- the rate of wrapping is increased. Nevertheless the wrapping machine is then more complex to manufacture and much more expensive.
- One of the important steps in the wrapping process is the closing and locking step. From this stage depends the effectiveness of the wrapping. Indeed, the role of the latter is not only to hold the various elements of a pallet, but also to avoid theft of one or more of the elements constituting the pallet.
- the closing and locking of the pallet are traditionally performed by cutting the film strip unrolled around the pallet, and welding the end of the film connected to the pallet to the film strips already wound around it, on the face side of the pallet.
- the free end of film must adhere to the load in the initialization phase of the wrapping, but also, in the final phase of wrapping, the end of the film must be attached to the load, cut and reapplied.
- This operation is carried out at the end of wrapping using welding cutting pliers arranged at the bottom of the platform forming the palletized load support.
- the European patent application EP 1 332 968 A1 aims to provide an answer by proposing a wrapping device by means of which the closing and the locking of the pallet are carried out by the top of the palletized load, that is to say by its upper side.
- the wrapping device described in this patent application uses a single punch placed in the vertical axis of symmetry of the pallet, a punch which makes it possible to knot the ends of the film strips. used, their cutting, and the retention of the free ends of film connected to the film unwinders, which must be wrapped around the next pallet again at the beginning of a new wrapping cycle.
- kinematics implemented in the invention described in this document is nevertheless extremely complex and the punch used is also very complex in its structure and expensive to manufacture.
- a complex operating kinematics for a machine causes many breakdowns and frequent revisions necessary for maintenance, and requires many laps at the end of the wrapping cycle to perform the knotting.
- the technical problem underlying the invention is therefore the realization of a device for wrapping the lateral faces and an upper face of a palletized load for locking and closing the wrapping with a limited number of turns. , allowing high rates, which is kinematic operation and simple structure, which is economical to manufacture, and inexpensive.

Then, the rotation of the unwinders is stopped, and the stretched strip portions are welded together at a single weld point above the palletized load via the welding means.
- the locking and closing of the wrapping of the load are carried out above the palletised load in less than one machine revolution.
- solder portions of the film free webs connecting the palletized load and the unwinders are made in one place, which greatly reduces the cost of locking and closing the wrapping of a pallet load.
- the dispostif comprises two guiding means, located substantially on either side of the vertical axis of symmetry of the platform, a portion of each free film strip connecting the palletized load and the unwinders being intended to be stretched between the two guide means.
