Definitions

  • the invention relates to a strapping machine for setting packages, in particular wound into coils metal bands, with at least one strapping around a package strapping, wherein a binding head against the package can be adjusted, comprising a tensioning device and for connecting the ends of the stretched under tension strapping a welding device with at least one arranged in an electrode chamber upper, deliverable welding electrode and a temporarily cooperating with this counter electrode, the welding device is associated with the package towards a slide plate.
  • the basic principle of such various prior art strapping machines is to position a strapping head on a package to be strapped, guide a strapping band around the package, tension the strapping band, and place its ends one behind the other inside the binding head connect to.
  • the overlapping ends of the prestressed strapping band are materially or positively connected to each other.
  • the removed from a supply roll strapping is separated and the binding head lifted from the package, with all operations are automated.
  • a strapping machine with tensioning and closing device of the type mentioned is by the EP-B1 0 194 627 known.
  • the slidably with the counter electrode in the plane of the overlap area below the Welding electrodes movable slide plate consists of an upper and a lower plate, which slide on each other or on top of each other.
  • the upper plate is guided on the lower slide plate, in which the counter electrode is embedded.
  • a welding process enabling circuit is closed. This is when the upper plate has been moved so far that it releases the embedded in the lower plate counter electrode, wherein the strap is just above the counter electrode and below the deliverable welding electrode. After the welding process, the upper plate, which then entrains the lower plate, is moved so far that the welded band loop is released or exposed.
  • the strapping are subject during transport of the packages, z.
  • one to three strapping around the circumference of the packages are created to protect against cracking and / or to prevent displacement.
  • the strapping must be strongly biased, which goes to the limits of tensile and tear strength of the material of the strapping and can also lead to banding on the package.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide an automated strapping machine that allows a safer, the high loads steady mounting the strapping in a structurally simpler way.
  • the slide plate is formed simultaneously as a counter electrode and in the region of the overlapping ends of the strapping on the underside with support directly on the package is used.
  • the invention provides that the slide plate has a feed tongue opposite the welding electrode and a plate end part connected to a setting means.
  • a system separation which on the one hand the unhindered positioning of the Vorkragzunge to the welding electrode or the welding electrodes and on the other hand, the movement of the Anstellstoff, advantageous as for the delivery or the pressing of the welding electrodes a pneumatic cylinder unit, away from the scene of the welding , namely the rear end of the slide plate allows.
  • the system separation also opens up the possibility that at least the supply tongue of the slide plate made of copper can be elastically formed to conform to the surface of the package.
  • the feed tongue or the slide plate may be of small thickness, about 6 mm, because it does not have to absorb any forces due to the direct support on the package, which are rather introduced and collected in the binding head housing and / or the housing-like electrode chamber.
  • the elastic nestling can be further favored by the fact that preferably in the circumferential direction of the package outer edges of the slide plate are provided with a rounding or an outer radius.
  • the plate end part carries a formed with a coolant circuit, connectable to a coolant supply cooling block.
  • the coolant circuit can be easily manufactured by drilling channels which can be closed by blind plugs at the openings not required for a coolant supply.
  • the cooling block which can be fastened on the side facing the package countersunk heads screws on the Plattenendteil, ensures a largely constant during the welding process Temperature level, which reduces the electrode wear or erosion and prevents unnecessary heat transfer into the package.
  • Another advantageous embodiment of the invention provides for a supporting frame receiving the plate end part, which is formed with a vertically extending, integrally formed a compression spring means having vertical guide, wherein the adjusting means engages the vertical guide.
  • the adjusting means thus acts indirectly on the slide plate, which can be adjusted above the package on the support frame in the binding head housing.
  • the integrated compression spring means serves to secure the end position, d. H. after lifting the welding electrode or the welding electrodes, it brings the slide plate back to its original position.
  • staggered spot welds can be achieved with a variable point geometry.
  • four, five or six welding points can be provided which, with a preferred spot or electrode diameter of 6 to 9 mm, should be approximately 18 to 30 mm apart in order to avoid current or voltage gaps between the individual spot welds.
  • At least two binding head units with each associated slide plates individually for themselves next to each other are arranged. This is to be provided in particular if the strapping band required for the product requires a dimension exceeding a maximum width, commercially available 32 mm.
  • the FIG. 1 shows very schematically a strapping machine 1 for setting packages 2, here in the form of a metal band.
  • a direct reel 3 with continuous control and brake, a strapping 4 is unwound and conveyed by a tape guide system 5 to the package 2.
  • One of the direct reel downstream pulley 6 directs the strap 4 initially in a roller straightening 7, which ensures that on the one hand the beginning of the belt is conveyed straight and without kinks through the tape guide system 5 into a binding head 8 and on the other hand, the strapping 4 with decreasing Abwickelradius always straight into the tape guide system 5 passes.
  • the binding head 8 the beginning of the tape is clamped and the excess strapping tape is reversed until the strapping loop rests against the circumference of the package 2.
  • the excess strapping is rewound via a reverse control of the direct reel 3.
  • the binding head 8 shown in the embodiment consists of two juxtaposed binding head units 8a, 8b, which are equipped to connect the overlap ends 4a, 4b of the strapped strap 4 with welding devices 9a, 9b, which receive welding electrodes 12 arranged in an electrode chamber 10 in an electrode holder 11.
  • Both the binding head 8 and the binding head units 8a, 8b and the welding electrodes 12 can be adjusted against the circumference of the package 2.
  • the electrode holders 11 are acted on by cylinders 13 bolted to the electrode chambers 10, designed as pneumatic cylinders (compare FIGS Figures 2 and 3 ).
  • each slide plate 14 has a Vorkragzunge 14a and a Plattenendteil 14b, wherein the slide plates 14 so used for welding or adjusted be that the Vorkragzungen 14 a in the weld region of the tensioned, overlapping ends 4 a, 4 b of the strapping 4 opposite the welding electrodes 12.
  • a cooling block 16 is attached.
  • This is provided with a coolant circuit 17 produced by channel bores, which has connections 18 for the inlet and outlet of a coolant (water).
  • the unneeded outlet openings of the channel bores of the coolant circuit 17 are closed by blind plugs 19.
  • the plate end portion 14b of the slide plate 14 including the cooling block 16 is received by a support frame 20, the linear adjustable in the binding head housing 21 (see FIG. 3 ) is arranged.
  • a pneumatic cylinder unit which engages with a piston rod 23 to a orthogonal to the support frame 20 extending, columnar vertical guide 24.
  • FIG. 3 shows that the binding head housing 21 is formed with a downwardly projecting, the Vorkragzunge 14a of the slide plate 14 at a distance opposite end stop 25 and also a horizontally acting on the electrode chamber 10 Anstellzylinder 26.
  • the adjusting cylinder 26 allows variable, in particular offset welding points.
  • FIG. 5 how out FIG. 5 can be seen, the outer edges of the slide plate 14 in the circumferential direction 27 or in juxtaposition of two slide plates, the respective outer edges of the Vorkragzitch 14a (see FIG. 4 ), which further favors the adaptation or nestling of the anyway because of their small thickness elastic slide plate 14 and 14 a, 14 b on the outer circumference of the package 2.
  • FIG. 5 makes comparisons with the in FIG. 6 shown known Schieberplattenaus operation in which the dashed line counter electrode 114a is embedded in the lower steel slide 114, wherein the steel slide 114 is also guided in grooves of side walls, the great advantage of the achieved gain in clamping force clearly. Because after FIG. 6 For example, a high amount of stretch of the strapping band is required because a great distance has to be overcome by the steel slider and its side wall guides, which then results in the loss of clamping force when the closed loop springs back against the circumference of the package 2. The extra stretch there can therefore be reduced FIG. 5 largely completely use as clamping force.
