Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for packing Christmas trees in netting covers and of the type specified in the introduction of claim 1.
  • DK 174177 B1 and EP 1313645 B1 describe an apparatus and a method for netting trees, comprising an inlet opening and a device for providing a tubular elastic net around a tree when the tree is moved through the device.
  • the device for providing an elastic tubular net around a tree is separated from the inlet opening and includes a tube around which the net is externally provided as the end of the net is bent around an end of the tube facing the inlet opening and extending into the tube.
  • DK 172598 B1 describes a method and a device for compressed packing of Christmas trees and decorative greenery on pallets, crates or similar with side supports.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is peculiar in that within the inlet opening the apparatus includes an upper conveyor belt which is adapted to exert a downwardly directed pressure on a Christmas tree while being packed into the netting covering and supported on the lower conveyor belt, and that the packing unit includes a box-shaped packing frame which is adapted to be elevated from a low initial position as the packing frame and the pallet, respectively, are filled with Christmas trees.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is suitably designed such that the box-shaped packing frame furthermore includes a work position, e.g. a platform, for a person who provides for concurrently transferring packed Christmas trees from an upper end of the lower conveyor belt to the packing frame of the packing unit.
  • a work position e.g. a platform
  • the apparatus according to the invention may advantageously be arranged to be operated by two persons of which one preferably is the driver of the tractor, namely one person for inserting Christmas trees through the funnel-shaped inlet opening and one person placed on the platform at the vertically displaceable packing frame occupied with transferring packed Christmas trees to correct mutual positions on the pallet inside the packing frame, where the latter can be elevated successively according to need as the packing frame and the pallet are filled.
  • the apparatus according to the invention can very simply be designed such that the lower conveyor belt at the upper end is connected with the packing frame such that the upper end of the lower conveyor belt automatically follows the packing frame in height.
  • the combined gripping and pulling device at opposing sides is displaceably seated in a longitudinal apparatus frame which at the front supports the upper conveyor belt and the funnel-shaped inlet opening with associated device for applying the tubular netting around a Christmas tree.
  • the apparatus according to the invention can be designed in a simple way such that the gripping device is adapted to be pivoted aside when the combined gripping and pulling device is disposed at a position farthest from the funnel-shaped inlet opening such that the packed Christmas tree can proceed unhindered rearwards/upwards on the lower conveyor belt.
  • the apparatus according to the invention may suitably be designed such that the funnel-shaped inlet opening at an outer side is designed with space for a gathered supply of tubular netting, wherein one end of the netting is successively passed around a Christmas tree when the latter is pulled through the funnel-shaped inlet opening.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is preferably designed such that the funnel-shaped inlet opening at an inner end interacts with a cutting device which is adapted to cut the tubular net at a pointed end of the Christmas tree when the latter has passed the funnel-shaped inlet opening.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is designed such that the funnel-shaped inlet opening at an inner end interacts with a binding device which is adapted to bind the tubular net together at a pointed end of the Christmas tree when the latter has passed the funnel-shaped inlet opening.
  • the apparatus according to the invention is most suitably designed such that the cutting and binding devices are combined into a single device.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 shows schematically a tractor 2 mounted with an apparatus 4 according to the invention, including a front funnel-shaped inlet opening 6 with an external device 8 for in a way known per se to continuously provide a tubular elastic netting around a Christmas tree which is passed through the inlet opening 6.
  • a reciprocating combined gripping and pulling device 10 within the inlet opening 6, there is provided a reciprocating combined gripping and pulling device 10, the forwardly directed gripping claws 32 of which (see Figs. 3 and 4 ) are adapted to be moved into the inlet opening 6 from behind and to seize a root end of a Christmas tree which is inserted into the inlet opening 6 from the front side of the latter.
  • the apparatus 4 includes a relatively short upper conveyor belt 22 which is disposed immediately within the funnel-shaped inlet opening 6, thereby gently, as the conveyor belt 22 is actively driven, assists in keeping the Christmas tree compressed when it has been drawn away from the funnel-shaped inlet opening 6 while enveloped by the tubular netting cover.
  • the combined gripping and pulling device 10 is shown separately in Fig. 4 where it i.a. can be seen that the forwardly directed gripping claws 32 can be moved or pivoted aside such that the released and packed Christmas tree can move on unhinderedly on the lower conveyor belt 12.
  • Fig. 5 shows the pallet lift 14 of the apparatus with associated packing unit 16, pallet 18, vertical side supports 20 and packing frame 24.
  • a platform 26 in which is placed the person concurrently transferring packed Christmas trees from the upper end 28 of the conveyor belt 12 to the packing frame 24.
  • the new and improved apparatus according to the invention is expected to provide a much greater capacity when packing Christmas trees in tubular netting covers.
  • the mentioned apparatus can easily pack up to 2500 to 3000 Christmas trees a day, corresponding to 300 - 600 trees per hour or 80 - 200 trees per pallet.
  • Another substantial advantage of the indicated apparatus is that the final height of the packed pallets can be increased from the usual 2400 mm to 2600 mm, meaning a substantial increase in capacity for the carrier.
  • the described inventive apparatus may usually be operated by two persons; however, a crew of three persons will frequently be used as it can be very advantageous to use an extra tractor with pallet lift in order to keep the primary tractor with the mounted apparatus free from simple lifting operations of removing filled pallets and loading the apparatus with new and ready pallets.
