Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for applying flat Umreifungsbändem of a plastic or metal material to packages by means of a strapping device.
  • the invention is directed to a strapping device for applying flat Umreifungsbändem of a plastic or metal material to packages.
  • Strapping devices for strapping objects count in different versions of the prior art.
  • the basic principle of strapping is to position a strapping head on a package to be strapped, guide a strapping band around the package, tension the strapping band, and connect its ends within the closure head.
  • the overlapping ends of the prestressed strapping band are connected to one another in a material-locking or form-fitting manner.
  • the removed from a supply roll strapping is separated and the closure head lifted from the package.
  • Strapping is subject to extreme loads, in particular dynamic loads which occur during the transport of the packages can become so great that the strapping tapes break.
  • rod or tube-like metal products are bundled by strapping. When such bundles are transported by means of a crane, deflection forces occur forcibly outside the points of application of the stop means, which in turn leads to displacement of the bars or tubes with one another. The strapping must be the resulting Pick up loads. Theoretically, it is possible to provide a larger number of strapping bands to prevent such displacements.
  • tube bundles and other rod-like products are so-called rigid packages which have a very limited flexibility.
  • a clamping device for a thread beginning as well as a knotting device for forming a knot by knotting the thread start is provided with the tracking thread.
  • the means for guiding the thread have a rotatably mounted circular ring, on which the thread clamping head is attached. As a result, the thread can be guided several times around the package to be strapped.
  • EP 0 388 761 A a strapping machine for packing packages of any type and size. Among other things, this is based on a vertically or horizontally movable packing belt channel. In addition, another packaging tape channel piece is provided.
  • the two belt strapping systems for longitudinal strapping and strapping are arranged so that the strapping belt is conveyed to a specific central operator location becomes. In this way, both longitudinal and transverse strapping can be performed by the operator from a single location.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a method and apparatus for bypassing or flattening flat Umreifungsbändem of a plastic or metal material, in particular steel, to show packages that very high because of their high weight, their volume or their critical shape Make demands on the transport protection created by strapping.
  • the technical problem to be solved in this context is the design of the tape guide channels, which inevitably have to have a crossing point on a side opposite the closure head side.
  • a first band guide channel is provided which surrounds the package and a second band guide channel, which connects to the first channel and also surrounds the package.
  • further tape guide channels can be provided to make not only double but triple or quad strapping.
  • the technical complexity of triple or quad strapping is very high, as in the crossing point of the respective band guide channels Possibilities must arise in order to open the respective inner band guide channels when the closure head tensions the strapping band.
  • the core of the method according to claim 1, therefore, is that the closure head opposite intersection of the band guide channels is released.
  • the inner, closer to the package strip guide channel is executed divided, wherein at least one of its sections is moved out of the crossing point.
  • the crossing point is released, the strapping band can be pulled into the closure head and thus tensioned.
  • spring-loaded holding means are provided for the strapping, which open automatically overcoming the spring force and release the strapping, so that it can get to the package to the plant.
  • both tape guide channels so that they are opened at the intersection, for example, if rod-shaped packages are to be introduced in a sense not in the axial direction of the openings formed by the tape guide channels, but in the radial direction, so to speak, transversely to the tape guide channels in the strapping.
  • rod-shaped packages are to be introduced in a sense not in the axial direction of the openings formed by the tape guide channels, but in the radial direction, so to speak, transversely to the tape guide channels in the strapping.
  • the construction is more compact. This is due to the fact that the slider has two functions during the running in of the band: on the one hand, it is the wall of the outer band channel but at the same time also the boundary of the inner band channel. Preferably, the slider is even configured in a U-shape such that it forms three walls of the inner band channel within the crossing region like a fork. By retracting the slider, both the inner and the outer band channel are released at the same time.
  • the strapping enters after entering the first band guide channel in the second band guide channel, via a bypass channel which extends along the closure head.
  • the bypass channel is connected to the end of the first tape guide channel and the beginning of the second tape guide channel.
  • This bypass channel is preferably positioned as close as possible to the tape inlet and outlet channel of the closure head, so that the distance of the belt loops is minimized. In this way it is ensured that the strapping is not due to lateral displacement of a or both of the belt loops loosens, with the result that the bias of the strapping decreases.
  • bypass channel is opened after the application of the belt loops and the belt loop is displaced from the bypass channel in the direction of the tape inlet and outlet channel of the closure head.
  • These measures can be done with a reduced band loop before tightening the strapping.
  • the displaced belt loop is prevented from displacing out of this position into the bypass channel after being displaced into the region of the belt inlet and outlet channel by at least one blocking element.
  • the blocking element is preferably a pawl which is mechanically coupled to a pusher element which is used to displace the second band loop into the band inlet and outlet channel.
  • the tape end is not guided by a gripping unit, but by tape guide channels, which surround the package to be strapped twice.
  • tape guide channels which surround the package to be strapped twice.
  • the inner band guide channel adjacent to the package is divided in a first embodiment so that at least one of its sections can be moved out of the crossing region, in particular swung out.
  • the packaging tape is freed from surrounding parts and can be pulled out of the tape guide channel until it rests against the package.
  • Fig. 1 shows a first side view of a first and not belonging to the invention embodiment of a strapping device 1.
  • the strapping device 1 comprises a frame 2 with a movable in height boom 3, on which a closure head 4 is arranged.
  • the closure head 4 serves a in Fig. 8 illustrated strapping 17 output, which is to be led around a package 5.
  • the package 5 is configured hexagonal in cross-section. For example, it is a bundle of rods or tubes. The smaller of the two hexagons shown should make it clear that the package 5 can have different sizes.
  • the closure head 4 is located above the package 5. It is positioned so that the closure attached by the closure head 4 is always located centrally on the top of the package 5. For this purpose, the closure head 4 can be displaced in not horizontally positioned packages 5 in a manner not shown in the horizontal direction.
  • the strapping device 1 further comprises a guide ring 6, which surrounds the package 5 and is rotatably mounted about its longitudinal axis L. With the guide ring 6, a gripping unit 7 is fixedly connected. If the Guide ring 6 is set in a rotational movement, the gripping unit 7 rotates about the longitudinal axis L and thus to the package. 5
  • the gripping unit 7 is intended to grab a issued by the closure head 4 strapping 17 at its beginning of the tape 31 and to fix it by clamping.
  • the gripping unit 7 is provided with a jaw 8.
  • the jaw 8 would act on the wider flat sides of the strap 17.
  • the clamping jaw 8 can also act on a narrow side of the strip beginning 31.
  • FIGS. 18 and 19 show a perspective view of a gripping unit 7 in two different positions.
  • the gripping unit 7 comprises a supporting jaw 42 and a clamping jaw 43 which is displaceable in the direction of the arrow P8 in the direction of the supporting jaw 42.
  • the support jaw 42 serves as an abutment for the jaw 43. Between the support jaw 42 and the jaw 43 is the band beginning 31 of the strapping band 17 is clamped, specifically over the narrow longitudinal edges of the strapping band 17. Thus, the strapping band 17 does not buckle in this type of fixation, the jaw 43 and the support jaw 42 are arcuately curved in their course.
  • the jaw 43 and the jaw 42 are configured in a substantially L-shaped cross section so that the tape top and the tape bottom are guided inside the gripping unit 7.
  • the clamping jaw 43 is pressed under the influence of a spring force in the direction of the support jaw 42.
  • the closure head 4 is pivoted back and the gripping unit 7 in the in Fig. 4 stopped position shown.
  • the gripping unit 7 is now located on the rear side of the closure head 4.
  • the strapping device 1 uses a transport device 9 in the form of a transport roller, which transports the strip beginning after the clamping of the gripping unit 7 via an arcuate insertion ramp 10 in a Bandein- and outlet channel on the tape inlet side 11 of the closure head 4.
  • the tape end is clamped by the closure head 4 in a known manner and excess strapping 17 is withdrawn through the tape outlet to tension the strapping 17 with a predetermined tensile force.
  • the closure head 4 is located very close to the surface of the package 5.
  • the tensioned strapping 17 is connected to the strip beginning 31 ( Fig. 8 ).
  • Umreifungsbändem 17 off Steel is done for example by welding. Of course, positive connections are possible by direct compression or using closure sleeves.
  • the still connected to the supply roll end of the strap 17 is separated.
  • the closure head 4 is lifted from the package 5 and the package 5 can be removed from the strapping device 1. Subsequently, the gripping unit 7 moves back to the starting position, as in Fig.
  • closure head 4 can be pivoted again in the direction of the arrow P3, as it Fig. 5 shows, so that the closure head 4 is returned to the starting position with the same direction of rotation.
  • the 6 and 7 show a second embodiment according to the invention of a strapping device 12, which operates on a different principle than that of Fig. 1 to 5 and 18, 19 ,
  • the strapping device 12 does not require a gripping unit 7 in order to guide the beginning of the strip 31. It has for this purpose band guide channels 13, 14. In the present case, a double strapping is to be created. Therefore, two tape guide channels 13, 14 are provided. In a double strapping, as in Fig. 8 is shown, there is inevitably a crossing point K, in which the belt loops 15, 16 of the strapping 17 intersect. When using belt guide channels 13, 14, it is unavoidable during the application of the belt loops 15, 16 that one of the belt guide channels 13, 14 is closer to the package 5 than the other. If the strapping 17 is tensioned, it must be ensured that the running at the intersection K outside belt loop 15 is not with the inside lying band guide channel 13 collided.
  • the inner band guide channel 13 is shown in two positions. Once in the closed position and once in the open position in which the lower ends of the inner band guide channel 13 are spaced from each other. After applying the double strapping the outwardly pivoted portions 18, 19 of the inner band guide channel 13 are brought together again, so that the next strapping process can be performed.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates once again, the intersecting course of the two band guide channels 13, 14 and their connection to the closure head. 4
  • the inner band guide channel 13 is in the embodiment of a strapping device 20 according to Fig. 12 provided to use an intersection part 21, whose operation is described below with reference to Fig. 9 is explained.
  • none of the band guide channels must be pivoted. They are executed in a sense rigid and connected to each other via the intersection part 21.
  • the crossing part 21 has two superimposed band channels, one of which, the inner, the package 5 closer band channel 22 and one of the package 5 further away outer band channel 23 is.
  • the outer band channel 23 has a greater depth than the inner band channel 22.
  • the inner band channel 22 crosses the outer band channel 23 and is of this in the region of the crossing point K via a displaceable in the direction of arrow P4 slide 25 of the outer band channel 23 separately.
  • the slider 25 is in the position shown in a closed position and covers by its U-shaped configuration with its lower leg 34, the inner band channel 22 and with its upper leg, the outer band channel 23 in the image plane from above.
  • An insertion bevel 24 ensures that in the direction of the arrow P4 entering the crossing part 21 strapping 17 passes in the image plane below the slide 25.
  • the strapping 17 passes from the direction of the arrow P5 in the inner band channel 22 and extends between the rear leg 34 and the upper leg 35 of the slider 25.
  • the slider 25 is retracted in the direction of the arrow P3, so that the band channels 23, 24 are released. As a result, this can also emerge from the outer band channel 23 when tensioning the strapping band 17.
  • the slider 25 is again moved into the illustrated closure position, so that a further strapping process can take place.
  • the two belt loops 15, 16 should run as close together as possible. In other words, the distance A ( Fig. 8 ) as small as possible. This assumes that the tape guide channels 26, 27, as they are in Fig. 10 can be seen, as close together as possible. However, this would also mean that the crossing part 21 has to be made longer if the belt loops 15, 16 at the point of intersection K are at a very acute angle to each other. On the other hand, the belt loops 15, 16 in their in the Fig. 8 shown upper region, ie in the region of the closure head 4 due to the parallel guide in a relatively small distance from each other.
  • the band guide channels 26, 27 are not only arcuately curved, but slightly wound in the direction of their longitudinal extent, that are twisted about their longitudinal axis. It is in the band guide channels 26, 27 therefore geometrically complicated components. Therefore, it is expedient for manufacturing reasons, the Band guide channels 15, 16 to build multi-part, wherein at least the area between the closure head 4 and the crossing part 21 is divided into two longitudinal sections, which are centrally connected to each other.
  • bypass channel 28 extending parallel to the closure head 4 region of the belt loops 15, 16 in the direction of the belt loop in the band inlet and outlet channel 29 of the closure head 4 to relocate.
  • FIG. 11 In a highly schematic representation shows Fig. 11 in the upper half a Bandein- and outlet channel 29, which is located within the closure head 4, not shown.
  • this Bandein- and outlet channel 29 is located with reference to Fig. 8 a partial section of a first belt loop 15.
  • Parallel to the belt inlet and outlet channel 29 extends the bypass channel 28, in which the second belt loop 16 is located.
  • the band inlet and outlet channel 29 is spatially separated from the bypass channel 28, so that the in Fig. 8 shown end of tape 31 can easily pass through the bypass channel 28 when creating the belt loop 16.
  • the bypass channel 16 is partially bounded on its narrow side facing away from the band inlet and outlet channel 29 by a pusher element 32.
  • the lateral displacement of the belt loop 16 from the bypass channel 28 takes place before the strapping band 17 is tensioned.
  • the blocking element 33 is preferably a pawl which is coupled to the pusher element 32.
  • the thrust element 32 shown in greatly simplified form is preferably configured fork-shaped and encompasses both the top and bottom of the belt loop 16 to be displaced in order to guide it exactly even during the displacement.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 show in side view a much simplified closure head 30, in particular, the area of the band guide channels is of interest.
  • Fig. 14 or in the enlarged view of Fig. 16 It can be seen that a partial section of the first belt loop 15 is located in a belt inlet and outlet channel 29, while the second belt loop 16 is located in the closed bypass channel 28.
  • the bypass channel 28 is constructed in two parts and comprises a fixed upper part 36 and a pivotable lower part 37, which via a pivot mechanism 38 to a lying above the upper part 36 pivot point S in the in Fig. 15 or 17 shown position is displaced.
  • the pivot point S is located at a relatively large distance from the bypass channel 28, so that the lower part 37 does not deflect too far down and thereby collides with the package to be strapped. It is primarily a sideways movement of the lower part 37 is desired, but at the same time a lateral opening of the bypass channel 28, so that the belt loop 16 by the thrust element not shown in the direction the Bandein- and outlet channel 29 is displaced.
  • Fig. 17 shows the position of the belt loop 16 after it has been pushed out of the bypass channel 28. It is located at a parallel distance from the belt loop 15 in the belt inlet and outlet channel 29. The distance is possible not greater than 3 mm. So that the belt loop 16 does not jam when pushed out of the bypass channel 28, the side walls of the bypass channel 28 may be bevelled.
