Definitions

  • the invention relates to a channel baler for compacting loose material and for binding the compacted material into bales, comprising a hopper which is open, ie in the opposite direction of gravity, open, and through which the loose material in a press channel reaches, in which the compression takes place.
  • Balers are known and described for example in DE 198 18 127 C1 . DE 42 23 046 C2 . EP 0 705 683 A1 as well as in the offers of different manufacturers, such as HSM GmbH + Co. KG, Welger GmbH or Kampwerthmaschinetechnik GmbH, respectively Germany, or Dimitron AG, Switzerland. They are used for compacting loose material, such as cardboard and cardboard packaging, in order to transport it in the form of bales to save space and possibly reuse it as valuable material. Bales are easy to stack and thus contribute to optimal loading and storage space utilization.
  • balers There are various types of balers widespread, including channel baling presses, which is also the subject of this patent.
  • the compaction takes place after the loose material has entered the press channel.
  • a funnel To introduce the loose material in the press channel is a funnel, which is located above the press channel and opens into this.
  • the filling opening is located at a relatively high height above the contact surface of the channel baling press. It is common to fill the loose material in containers to transport the filled containers to the channel baler and there lift in the simplest case by means of lifting equipment, such as forklifts to the required height and then tilt at this height so that the material through the filling opening falls into the shaft.
  • This tilting device should allow manual operation despite different loads of trolley to trolley, and they must therefore have relatively complex, weight-compensating coupling elements.
  • the lifting, tilting and filling depends on the skill of the serving person, insofar as there is still the risk of accidents and continue a mechanical or automatic workflow is not possible.
  • lifting and tipping devices are known for use where material in bulk form must first be collected in containers and then filled from these containers into presses, eg from the US 2009/0081013 A1 , of the DE 10 2006 062 175 A1 or the WO 2004/041523 A1 , These devices are separate units and generally do not meet the requirements for integration into a channel baling press.
  • the application of such a lifting and tilting device on a channel baling press shows GB 2 169 550 A ,
  • the provided there lifting-tilting device is provided laterally on the housing of the channel baler.
  • the construction of the mechanism for lifting and pivoting a collecting container, for the purpose of emptying its contents into the press channel of the channel baler, is complicated and also prone to failure.
  • the lifting and pivoting of the collecting container is due to the chosen construction only in a relatively slow movement possible, so time consuming.
  • the document DE-A-4223046 Based on this, the invention has the object, a channel baler of the type described above educate so that the lifting, tilting and filling the loose material in the hopper is more economical and safe than previously in the state of Technology is possible.
  • the filling shaft opens into the entrance area of the press channel of the channel baler or in a collecting chamber upstream of the press channel, which is often called press box.
  • the side wall is connected to an electromotive, hydraulic or pneumatic tilting drive.
  • the activation of the Tilting drive is performed from a safe distance, requires no effort of the operating personnel and the filling and tipping process is also independent of the individual workload of an operator.
  • the tilting drive can also be designed mechanically, for example, in the manner of a toggle joint or a combination of said tilting drives.
  • the coupling device advantageously has interlocking holding elements which, depending on the embodiment of the invention, can be connected to one another manually or mechanically and are detachable from one another.
  • the feed tube has a rectangular or square cross-section, the side walls are designed plan.
  • the non-pivoting side walls can be made higher than the pivotable side wall.
  • the side wall opposite the pivotable side wall is inclined inwards in such a way that the filling shaft tapers upwards. This ensures that the loose material when tipping into the feed chute at least partially meets the opposite, obliquely inwardly inclined side wall and is directed by this in the slot due to the inclination.
  • the tilting drive may have a jogging device, the control of which is provided after the pivoting of the side wall in the second end position, whereby it is achieved that the loose material falls faster and completely out of the transport container in the hopper.
  • mobile transport containers for example in the form of conventional trolleys, can be used, which however are equipped with holding elements which correspond to the holding elements of the tilting device arranged on the pivotable side wall.
  • FIG. 1 the channel baling press 1 according to the invention is shown in a perspective view.
  • a funnel 2 through which loose, material to be compacted, enters or comes to a press channel 3, in which the compression takes place, is visible.
  • the presentation of the bales has been dispensed with, which, as known per se, pass through the press channel 3 formed between lateral boundary walls 4, a bottom plate 14 and a cover plate 5, thereby passing a multiple joint clamp 6.
  • the filling shaft 2 formed from side walls according to the invention has a side wall 7, which is pivotable about a perpendicular to the direction of gravity S extending axis 8 in the direction of rotation D. And that is the swing from a first to a second end position and vice versa possible. Of these two end positions is in Fig. 1 the first end position shown.
  • the mobile transport container 9 filled with loose material (not illustrated in the drawing) is pushed against the side wall 7 and mechanically fixedly connected to the latter by means of the coupling device 10, so that the in Fig. 1 shown constellation results.
  • FIG. 2a this initial constellation is shown again in perspective from a different angle.
  • Fig. 2b a side view with a view of the press channel 3 and the multi-joint clamp 6.
  • the end face of the channel baler 1 associated pressing plate 15 can be seen. It is in its rest position, so that over and filled through the hopper 2 loose material at the entrance of the press channel 3 can fall down to the bottom plate 14.
  • the position of the transport container 9 coupled to the side wall 7 next to the channel baler 1 can be seen here.
  • FIGS. 3a and 3b show a snapshot during the pivoting of the side wall 7 with the coupled transport container 9.
  • Fig. 3a shows this moment from the same perspective as before Fig. 2a ;
  • Fig. 3b shows the side view.
  • the gap Sp which arises during pivoting temporarily between the lateral upper edges of the transport container 9 and the side walls 11 and 12 of the hopper 2, is chosen in size so that the present in the relevant application, conventional material can not fall sideways during the pivoting movement.
  • FIGS. 4 From the FIGS. 4 the situation can be seen in which the pivoting about the direction of rotation D (see. Fig.1 ) is completed and the side wall 7 is in the second end position. From the perspective view in Fig. 4a and the side view Fig. 4b It can be seen that the transport container 9 is located above the feed chute 2, namely tilted so far that the loose material falls into the feed chute 2 as a result of gravity.
  • the tilting drive may have a vibrating device, which is activated in this situation, so that the contents of the transport container 9 are quickly and completely emptied into the feed chute 2.
  • a not inconsiderable advantage of the channel baler 1 according to the invention is also that by the inwardly, ie in the hopper 2 einschwenkenden portion 7a of the side wall 7, in particular with a variation of the speed of the pivotal movement targeted control of the distribution of the in the below the hopper lying collecting space falling material can be made so that the filled material in said Space is distributed evenly, so the existing receiving space is better utilized, so the efficiency is improved.
  • the filling chute 2 has an at least approximately rectangular cross-section and is delimited both by the side wall 7 and by further, as a rule flat, but not pivotable side walls 11, 12 and 13.
  • the side walls 11 and 12, which form a right angle with the pivotable side wall 7, are made higher than the pivotable side wall 7. This height difference is closed with the pivoting of the transport container 9 on reaching the second end position.
  • the side wall 13 lying opposite the pivotable side wall 7 is here preferably inclined so that the filling chute 2 tapers upwards. This ensures that the loose material is deflected when tipping into the hopper 2 due to the obliquely inwardly inclined side wall into the slot.
  • the pressing channel 3 of the channel baler 1 can also be subdivided into two or more sections, for example into a collecting space, often called a press box, which is arranged essentially below the filling shaft 2 and then forms a transitional area in a further longitudinal extension, and the actual pressing channel 3 following the transition area.
