Definitions

  • the invention relates to a strapping device for packages in which an arrangement means an edge protection means prior to the strapping process on the package and the edge protection means is held by a strapping after Umreifungsvorgang the package, wherein a propulsion moves the edge protection means from a magazine to the arrangement means.
  • a generic device is for example in DE 30 25 825 A1 disclosed.
  • Devices for strapping packages usually have a so-called packing table, on which rests a package to be strapped in the device.
  • a guide frame which surrounds the package and within which a strapping means, such as a thermoplastic band, is guided around the package starting from a tensioning and closing device.
  • a strapping means such as a thermoplastic band
  • the free end of the strap is held and the strap is tensioned by a partial withdrawal around the package.
  • the strap is pulled out of the guide frame.
  • the guide frame on its sides facing the package suitable retaining means, such as opening flaps, brush attachments or the like.
  • the strapping material presses or cuts cardboard at the edges.
  • edge protectants before the strapping process.
  • These are usually plate-like cardboard, which are applied to the edges to be protected and are held by the strap on the package.
  • the edge protection means are usually held in a magazine and passed from there via a drive to the assembly device, which positions the edge protection means on the package.
  • Objects of the invention is to provide a novel propulsion for an edge protection means that reliably prevents misappropriation.
  • the object is achieved by a strapping device with the features of claim 1, in particular with the characterizing features, according to which the propulsion comprises an endlessly circulating conveyor, on which the edge protection means is seated, and that the necessary for the propulsion movement frictional engagement between the conveyor and edge protection means by its own weight the edge protection means is caused, wherein the propulsion part of a rail which is extendable in the conveying direction from the magazine.
  • edge protection means resting on the conveyor to be released from the edge protection agent compound formed in the magazine.
  • the invention makes use first of all of the fact that the weight of the edge protection agent is in principle sufficient to build up sufficient frictional engagement with the conveyor, and can be handed over to the arrangement device in such a simple and uncomplicated manner, if no other forces counteracting the frictional engagement promote the propulsion of the device Influence edge protection agent.
  • edge protection means is released from the composite for movement by the propulsion, which is formed by the edge protection means held in the magazine.
  • the dissolving out of this edge protection agent compound is preferably done by an upstream separation.
  • the rail will first be moved in the conveying direction, followed by the actual removal of the edge protection means via the conveying means and the pair of rollers. In this way, greater distances to the arrangement device can be bridged.
  • the conveyor is arranged on the bottom side in a channel section whose channel side walls serve to stabilize the position of the edge protection means.
  • the drive has at its transfer end close to the arrangement device two rollers or rollers spaced apart from one another, between which the edge protection means is passed for transfer to the arrangement device. In this way, the position stabilization is ensured even when transferring to the device arrangement.
  • rollers or rollers serve to stabilize the position of the edge protection means during the transfer to the arrangement means.
  • rollers or rollers receive the edge protection means frictionally between them and at least one roller or roller is driven in order to transfer the edge protection means to the arrangement device.
  • the drive of the roller or roller is effected by acting as a drive belt conveyor.
  • the driven roller or roller serves as a drive for the conveyor.
  • the main advantage of both aforementioned embodiments is that only a motor drive is to be provided for the total propulsion, the both roll or roller and the conveying means in propulsive motion.
  • a magazine with a propulsion according to the invention is provided overall with the reference numeral 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows a frontal view of the magazine 10 for the provision of edge protection means 13. Shown is the reservoir 22, within which edge protection means 13 are arranged in a stack. The magazine is placed on supports 23 and has a to the viewer FIG. 3 facing baffle 18, which in conjunction with a in FIG. 1 described in more detail the plate-like edge protection means 13 deflects from a substantially horizontal orientation in a substantially vertical orientation.
  • the edge protection means 13 is moved by the drive to be described in detail later in the conveying direction x from the magazine 10 in the direction of an arrangement device, not shown.
  • a pair of rollers 24 forms the upstream in the conveying direction x, arrangement near the arrangement end of the propulsion system according to the invention.
  • FIG. 1 represents a sectional view along section line II in FIG. 3
  • the viewing direction of this view corresponds to the conveying direction x.
  • the magazine 10 initially comprises a drive means 12 guided endlessly circumferentially by means of toothed wheels 11.
  • the advance means spends the respective edge protection means 13 provided for removal from the storage container 22 up to the curved portion 15 of a conveying surface 14
  • Edge protection means 13 slides by its own weight along the curvature section 15 until it reaches a vertical section 16 of the conveying surface 14.
  • Part of the magazine 10 is also a guide plate 18, which forms the side walls of a channel portion 17 in cooperation with the vertical portion 16.
  • an endlessly circulating guided conveyor 19 which undergoes a first deflection by the illustrated guide roller 20.
  • the edge protection means 13 lies with its narrow side 21 on the conveyor 19. Only the force of the own weight of the edge protection means 13 leads to a frictional engagement with the conveying means 19, which is sufficient for a reliable movement in the conveying direction x.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial sectional view according to II-II in FIG. 3 in top view.
  • edge protection means 13 is shown in the drawings FIG. 2 and 3 have already been partially moved by the propulsion according to the invention in the conveying direction x, so that the near-end end of the edge protection means 13 is received by the roller pair 24.
  • the pair of rollers 24 is formed by a first roller 25 and a second roller 26, wherein the conveyor 19 undergoes its second deflection in the present embodiment by the first roller 25.
  • the first deflection by guiding along the guide roller 20 and the second deflection by guiding along the first roller 25 of the endless circulation of the conveyor 19 is ensured.
  • the second deflection can also be effected by a separate further deflection roller and does not necessarily have to be coupled to the first roller 25.
  • the main advantage of the inventive deflection of the conveyor 19 is that the first roller 25 is rotated by the circulation of the conveyor 19 in rotation and so in interaction with the second roller 26 not only stabilizes the edge protection means 13 in its orientation for transfer to the arranging means, but also promotes the conveyance.
  • This supporting effect comes into play, in particular, when the conveyance of the edge protection agent 13 in the conveying direction x is continued and the common contact surface of the edge protection means 13 and the conveying means 19 becomes smaller with continuous removal from the drive.
  • the roller pair 24 are two spaced catch plates 27 upstream in the conveying direction x, which are widened funnel-shaped in particular in the insertion direction x back to the edge protection means 13 to perform the roller pair 24.
  • the first and second rollers 25 and 26 of the roller pair 24 are spring loaded to ensure sufficient pressure on the edge protection means 13 and thereby proper discharge thereof.
  • FIG. 4 shows one of the FIG. 3 similar view of the magazine 10.
  • the main difference to FIG. 3 it consists in that the edge protection means 13 is quasi conveyed and handed over to an arrangement device, not shown. It has thus left the effective range of the propulsion according to the invention.
  • the propulsion according to the invention comprises at least one endlessly circulating conveying means 19, which moves the separated edge protection means 13 solely by its own weight to an arrangement device (not shown) of a strapping device.
  • the propulsion comprises
  • the pair of rollers 24 is an alignment-oriented discharge and transfer to the addressed arrangement device.
  • the first roller 25 also serves as a deflection device for the conveyor 19 or is coupled in motion with a deflection device. So a drive is sufficient to enable the first roller 25 and the conveyor 19 in motion.
  • the propulsion part of an extendable rail 28, which is also extendable in the conveying direction x from the magazine.
  • This rail carries the guide roller 20 and the pair of rollers 24 together with conveying means 19, but is relatively movable to the channel section 17.
  • the rail 28 can first be moved in the conveying direction x, followed by the actual removal of the edge protection means 13 via the conveying means 19 and the roller pair 24. In this way, greater distances to the arrangement device can be bridged. Following the removal, the rail 28 retracts to receive the next edge protection means 13.
