Definitions

  • the invention relates to a compacting device according to the preamble of claim 1 for compacting empty containers, in particular beverage bottles or cans made of plastic or sheet metal, such as tinplate or aluminum sheet.
  • a similar compacting device is in the DE 201 11 752 U1 described.
  • each roller has a plurality of disks mounted successively along a roll axis.
  • One part of the disks is designed as a pressure disk, the other part of the disks as a cutting disk.
  • the rollers are arranged such that discs of one roller engage in the spaces between the discs of the other roller.
  • This device has at least one roller for compressing and perforating empty containers, wherein projecting from the base body of the roller pin elements, which are referred to as spikes, radially.
  • the pin elements are in recordings of the roller body impacted and secured by means of a metal adhesive in it.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a generic compacting available, with a simple construction in a very effective way, a compaction of empty containers can be achieved.
  • the compacting device according to the invention for compacting empty containers, in particular beverage bottles or cans made of plastic or tinplate, is characterized in that the at least one pin element is designed as a spiral clamping pin.
  • Such a constructed pin element makes it possible to achieve a mere compression of a container in the same process and a perforation of the container.
  • a plurality of pin elements are arranged on the roller base body for this purpose.
  • a projecting pin element favors the collection of a container, for example, in which the pin element engages behind uneven areas of the container and in this way carries the container. Due to their radial elastic properties, it is ensured that the spiral tension pins do not detach from the roller base body under loads which occur during operation of the compacting device.
  • the roller base body has a receptacle into which the at least one pin element is non-positively inserted. Due to the non-positive insertion of the pin member in the roller body is firstly ensured that in case of damage or wear of individual pin elements, the affected pin elements are replaceable with a sufficiently high force. An exchange of the roller body, in particular a disassembly of the roller body, as required in the prior art, can be omitted. On the other hand, the non-positive connection between the pin element and the roll base body also ensures that this withstands the forces acting on the compression and perforation of containers, without detaching itself from the roll body.
  • the roller base body Due to the fact that the at least one pin element protrudes from the roller base body, the roller base body is loaded less. This is the case in particular when a plurality of pin elements is arranged uniformly on the roll base body. This makes it possible to use less strong materials for the formation of the Walzengrundgropers, for example, a low-cost plastic.
  • the roll base body can be produced as a one-piece plastic injection-molded part.
  • the compacting device 1 comprises a housing 17, two rollers 1a, 1b arranged in the housing 17 for compacting empty containers, in particular beverage bottles or cans made of plastic or sheet metal, for example tinplate or aluminum sheet, a feed device 13 likewise arranged in the housing 17, by means of support the entry of one Container is pressed by the rollers 1a, 1b of the container against the rollers 1a, 1b, and a drive device 10, by means of which the rollers 1a, 1b and the feed device 13 is drivable.
  • the housing 17 has in its upper region an inlet opening 11 for the input of containers to be compacted.
  • An obliquely arranged chute 21 is intended to supply the containers to the rollers 1 a, 1 b, which are arranged at the end of the chute 21.
  • the feeding is supported by a rotational movement of the feeding device 13.
  • the feeding device is designed as a paddle 13 and comprises three on a paddle shaft 9 circumferentially uniformly arranged paddle 18.
  • a paddle 18 is formed by a twice clockwise inwardly angled sheet metal, wherein the sheet along the paddle shaft 19 extends.
  • the paddle 18 By a rotational movement of the paddle shaft 19 counterclockwise, in Fig.1 marked with an arrow 24, the paddle 18 lead an empty containers to the rollers 1 a, 1 b and press it against the rollers 1 a, 1 b, whereby a collection of the container by the rollers 1 a, 1 b is supported.
  • the paddle shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the housing 17 via a ball bearing.
  • the feed device 13 comprises a return plate 20 which is curved in a circular manner about the axis of the paddle shaft 19, the return plate 20 extending from the region of the rollers 1a, 1b to a region above the paddle shaft 19. If a container of the rollers 1a, 1 b is not retracted, this container is taken by the rotating paddle 18, guided along the return plate 20 and passes through a further rotational movement of the paddle 18 again to the rollers 1a, 1b.
  • the first roller 1a and the second roller 1b are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other.
  • the first roller 1 a and the second roller 1 b each comprise a roller base body 2 a or 2 b and a plurality of pin elements 3, which are arranged on the respective roller base body 2 a, 2 b are.
  • the first roller base body 2a is fixedly arranged on a first drive shaft 22a, the second roller base body 1b on a second shaft 22b.
  • the shafts 22a, 22b are rotatably mounted on the housing 17 by means of ball bearings.
  • the first roller base body 2a and the second roller base body 2b have a substantially cylindrical shape. Further, the roller base bodies 2a, 2b are subdivided into first disc-shaped sections 6 and second disc-shaped sections 7. The first sections and the second sections 7 are arranged alternately one behind the other along a respective roller axis 8a, 8b. The roll axes 8a, 8b correspond to the axes of the shafts 22a and 22b, respectively.
  • a first section 6 is formed with a larger diameter than a second section 7. The width of the first sections 6 and the second sections 7 are the same.
  • receptacles 4 are formed for the reception of pin elements 3.
  • the second sections 7 are free of such receptacles 4.
  • a receptacle 4 is formed by a cylindrical recess, which is oriented radially outward facing the roller axis 8a and 8b.
  • a first section 6 has in each case a plurality of such receptacles 4, which are arranged uniformly offset in the circumferential direction of the roll axis 8a, 8b. With respect to adjacent first sections 6, such a set of receptacles 4 is offset by a certain angle, here 15 degrees, resulting in a spiral arrangement of the receptacles 4 along the roller axes 8a, 8b.
  • pin elements 3 are used in all recordings.
  • the depth of the receptacles 4 and the radius of the receptacles 4 are adapted to the pin elements 3, so that a pin element on a frictional connection in a receptacle 4 is fixed and a pin member 3 protrudes with an end portion on the receptacle
  • First roller 1a and second roller 1b are spaced apart such that pin elements 3 of the first roller 1a in intermediate regions 9 between two first sections 6 of the second roller 1b and pin elements 3 of the second roller 1b in intermediate regions 9 between two first sections 6 of FIG engage first roller 1a.
  • a spiral tension pin 3 is used, see FIGS. 3a to 3c ,
  • the spiral clamping pin 3 consists of a spirally wound elastic sheet metal, preferably a spring plate, which, in order to facilitate insertion into a receptacle 4 at one end has a conically shaped bevel 23.
  • the spiral pin 3 In assembled condition, see FIG. 3b , the spiral pin 3 is compressed and thus is radially under tension. Due to this radial stress, an effective frictional connection with the roller base body 2a, 2b can be achieved. Under load in the inserted state, see Figure 3c , the spiral pin 3 can continue to deform.
  • a spiral tension pin 3 here has a diameter in the range of 5 to 10 mm, preferably about 8 mm, and a length in the range of 12 to 30 mm, preferably about 21 mm.
  • the drive device 10 which here comprises an electric motor is connected via not shown gears and drive chains with the shafts 22a, 22b of the rollers 1 a, 1 b and the paddle shaft 19 to the drive.
  • the rollers 1a, 1b rotate in opposite directions, with the first shaft 1a rotating clockwise and the second shaft 1b rotating counterclockwise.
  • the paddle shaft 19 and thus the paddle 18 rotate counterclockwise.
  • An empty container which passes through the inlet opening 11 or via the return plate 21 in the region of the rollers 1a, 1b is fed by the counter-rotating rollers 1 a, 1 b in the intermediate region of the rollers 1a, 1b.
  • This intake is supported by the rotating paddles 18, which additionally press an empty container against the rollers 1 a, 1 b.
  • the feeder is supported by the pin base elements 2a, 2b projecting from the roller body 2a, which are arranged offset in a spiral.
