Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for arranging an edge protector on a package in a device for strapping packages with a strapping, which is guided in a frame around the package located on a packing table and pulled out during clamping around the package from the frame, wherein the edge protection is arranged before the strapping process on the package and is held by the strapping process of the strap on the package and wherein the means for arranging the edge protector comprises a holding tool for the edge protection, wherein the holding tool comprises at least one gripping member which has a substantially U-shaped receptacle for forms the edge protection K.
  • a device for strapping packages in which the device according to the invention can be used for example, in the DE 10 2012 008 716 represented by the applicant. It is also referred to the state of the art on the DE 10 2011 012 207 the applicant, which also comprises a strapping device of the type mentioned.
  • Another generic device is off WO 2009 139 686 A1 known.
  • a generic device for the arrangement of an edge protection, from which the invention proceeds, is also in the DE 10 2012 008 716 the applicant discloses.
  • the device for attaching an edge protector is formed by a carriage with holding tool.
  • the carriage is mounted laterally of a movement path of the package on the packing table.
  • the carriage is moved up to the package with the holding tool in front, so that the edge protection comes into contact with the package.
  • the package is strapped so that the edge protector is held by the strap on the package.
  • the car moves back into his Starting position and the package can be removed from the packing table.
  • the edge protector is primarily needed for packages that are pressure sensitive and protrude laterally beyond a package carrier.
  • An example of this is cardboard boxes which are to be stored on a pallet and whose dimensions are larger than the pallet surface.
  • the existing edges are provided with the edge protection.
  • the object of the invention is a device for attaching an edge protector of DE 10 2012 008 716 to optimize and in particular to provide them with an improved edge protection tool.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by a device having the features of claim 1, in particular with the characterizing features, according to which the U-shaped receptacle formed by a first leg abutment surface and spaced therefrom comprises a gripping member and the edge protector K for placement on the package is held between the contact surface and gripping member, wherein the gripping element is arranged about a substantially perpendicular to the contact surface of the first leg pivotally mounted on the holding tool and a pivot stop is provided which limits the pivotal movement of the gripping member relative to the holding tool.
  • the main advantage of the U-shaped receptacle for the edge protection which is in particular a receiving channel formed by a U-shaped receptacle, which is preferably aligned parallel to the package edge to be protected, is first to be seen in that the edge protection - usually a flat cardboard box - can be easily inserted into the receptacle.
  • Another significant advantage is the simplicity of the gripping tool, which works without actively controlled clamping elements that hold the edge protection.
  • two gripping elements arranged parallel to one another and from one another, in particular vertically, are provided.
  • a first gripping element supports the underside of the edge protector facing the packing table, whereas the upper side of the edge protector facing away from the packing table rests in the receiving channel formed by the second gripping element.
  • the receiving channels of the vertically spaced gripping elements so span a receiving space within which the edge protection is arranged.
  • the use of a separately formed gripping member makes it possible to arrange the edge protection on the one hand by applying a clamping force, even under difficult conditions fixed to the holding tool, but in particular allows the other hand, the edge protector easily from the gripping element to solve by the gripping member in an open or closed position is movable.
  • the gripping member forms one of the vertical legs of the U-shaped receptacle.
  • the gripping member is formed as a second leg and about a substantially parallel The axis arranged to the contact surface is pivotable.
  • this embodiment makes it possible to passively control the gripping member by the spring member and overall helps to provide a simply constructed, reliable and easy-to-handle means for attaching an edge protector.
  • the axis is arranged eccentrically horizontally to the packing table, so that the gripper element is given a pivoting direction by gravity or that the gripping element is provided horizontally to the packing table and eccentrically to the axis with a weight which defines a pivoting direction by gravity.
  • edge protection between an upper and a lower gripping element, that is to say a gripping element which is close to the pack and a gripper element remote from the pack.
  • the edge protection is inserted with its underside in the lower receiving channel and with its top in the upper receiving channel.
  • a distance greater than the height of the edge protector is provided between the upper and lower gripping elements, so that the edge protector is held between the gripping elements with vertical play.
  • Pivotable gripping elements make it possible to partially narrow the holding space defined by the receiving channels of the upper and lower gripping elements. In this constriction, the edge protector then sits with slight clamping and is securely arranged in Garhaltezeug.
  • the pivot stop defines the maximum pivoting movement, so that with a suitable design for a certain edge protection size maximum clamping force can be defined.
  • the stop serves to limit the pivoting movement and to maintain a minimum opening width of the bottleneck of the receiving space.
  • the bottleneck formed in this way is preferably dimensioned such that when the edge protector is pushed into the receiving space, the edge protector moves the gripping elements counter to the pivoting direction. The clamping forces acting on the edge guard for a secure arrangement are then determined by the weight force.
  • the holding tool carries at least one gripping element on its underside facing the packing table surface and a gripping element on its top side remote from the packing table and the edge protection is arranged between the gripping elements and held by them.
  • the holding tool of a device according to the invention for attaching an edge protector is provided overall with the reference numeral 10.
  • the device according to the invention is used in a device for strapping packages.
  • a device typically comprises a packing table on which a package is placed, such as cardboard boxes stacked on a pallet.
  • the apparatus further includes a guide frame into which a belt-like strap is injected and passed around the package. Following this, the strap is tightened around the package, pulling it out of the guide frame.
  • a closure head connects the ends of the strapping together, after which the strapping process is completed and the package is transported out of the device in a predefined path of travel.
  • an edge protection K on the device according to the invention arranged on the package, which protects the objects to be strapped from damage by the strapping.
  • This edge protector K is held after being strapped by the strap on the package.
  • the aforementioned holding tool 10 initially comprises a relative to the packing table level vertically arranged arm 11, which is also referred to as a vertical arm 11.
  • the vertical arm 11 is attached via a pivotable support joint 12 to the device according to the invention, not shown here, and can be pivoted about a parallel to the packing table plane arranged Gargelenkachse 13.
  • the vertical arm 11 carries a total of three gripping elements, of which the packing table remote, upper gripper elements with the reference numeral 14 and the pack table near, lower gripper element is provided with the reference numeral 15.
  • Each gripper element 14, 15 forms a, surrounded by three legs, substantially U-shaped receptacle 16, whose thus formed, respective receiving channel 17 brings the edge protection K, for example, a corresponding flat cardboard element to the insert.
  • the receiving channel 17 is formed by a first, the vertical arm 11 nearby longitudinal leg 18, a spaced therefrom arranged and approximately parallel or angularly aligned second longitudinal leg 19 and the channel bottom forming transverse leg 20.
  • the legs 18, 19 and 20 of the receiving channels 17 of the upper and lower gripping members 14 and 15 clamp a receiving space in Fig. 2 shown in phantom and denoted by A.
  • the edge protector K - in the U-shaped receptacles 16 is a seated - arranged.
  • the second longitudinal leg 19 of each gripper element 14, 15 is formed in the present embodiment of the invention as a gripping member.
  • the second longitudinal legs 19 are pivotable about a longitudinal axis aligned parallel to the transverse leg 20.
  • the pivot radius is up to 90 degrees, so that the second longitudinal leg 19, also referred to as a gripping member 19, can pivot from an almost transverse-parallel alignment to a direction substantially parallel to the first longitudinal leg 18 alignment.
  • results in an almost cross-parallel alignment results in an almost cross-parallel alignment, an open position of the gripping member 19 and at a nearly parallel to the first longitudinal leg 18 occupied orientation a closed position of the gripping member 19. In the closed position of the gripping member 19 this is so substantially erected with respect to the first longitudinal leg 18.
  • Also opening angle of the second longitudinal leg 19, z. B. about 45 degrees to the first longitudinal leg 18, are referred to as "erected" or closed, since the sun trained, essentially U-shaped receiving channel 17 is sufficient for holding the edge protection.
  • the gripping member 19 is passively controlled in a preferred embodiment.
  • coil springs 21 are provided which are held by bolts 22 and whose spring force hold the gripping members 19 in the closed position.
  • the lower gripping element 15 is provided in the present embodiment with two passively controlled gripping members 19.
  • the transverse leg 20 is aligned substantially parallel to the packing table surface.
  • the lower gripping element 15 is in particular fixed rigidly to the vertical arm 11 and relatively immovable to this.
  • the situation is different with the upper gripper elements 14.
  • These are fixed to the vertical arm 11 by means of a pivot axis S.
  • the pivot axis S is directed substantially vertically to the surface of the first longitudinal limb 18 and arranged eccentrically along a horizontal line H running parallel to the packing table surface. Therefore, the upper gripping elements 14 are pivoted in their rest position by their own weight with respect to the horizontal line H, which can be seen in particular at the existing with respect to the horizontal line H inclination of the transverse leg 20 and consequently the corresponding inclined, U-shaped receptacle 16.
  • the upper gripping elements 14 are provided with pivot stops not shown here.
  • the receiving space A is dimensioned in its vertical extension and in the neutral position of the upper gripper elements 14 - that is, when horizontally aligned to the packing table transverse leg 20 - such that it can accommodate an edge guard K defined height.
  • the edge protector K is laterally, that is parallel to the U-shaped receiving channel 17, inserted into the holding tool 10 in the direction of insertion E.
  • the upper gripping elements 14 Upon reaching the bottleneck obtained by pivoting the upper gripping elements, the upper gripping elements 14 are pivoted back against the force of gravity, wherein the transverse leg 20 rests at least with its one end on the upper narrow side of the edge protector K.
  • the force acting on the upper narrow side of the edge protection pressing force acting in the pivoting direction of the upper gripping elements 14 is sufficient to prevent an automatic displacement of the edge protector K parallel to the insertion direction E and keep the edge protector K so safe in the inventive device.
  • Fig. 4 showed a sectional view of the holding tool 10 according to section line II in FIG Fig. 1 , First of all, the lower gripper element 15 and the upper gripping element 14 with the components described above can be seen.
  • Fig. 5 shows the holding tool 10 according to Fig. 1 in a perspective view.
  • the perspective view can be seen that the first longitudinal leg 18, the second longitudinal leg 19 and the transverse leg 20 are bent terminal. They form in this way insertion bevels 23 which feed the edge guard K to the receiving channel 17. This ensures that an edge protection K, which is not positioned correctly and is to be pushed into the holding tool 10 in the direction of insertion E, is also fed correctly to the receiving space A.
  • Fig. 6 shows an enlarged detail according to section circle IV of Fig. 4 ,
  • the second longitudinal leg 19 and the gripping member 19 is in the closed position.
  • the gripping member 19 is executed in its closed position with respect to the first longitudinal leg 18 inclined. Deviating from a first longitudinal leg 18 parallel plane P, the inclination is about 45 degrees in the direction of the package. Also, such a tendency is to be understood as an upright position with respect to the first longitudinal leg 18 and thus as a closed position.
  • the gripping member 19 has a control arm 24, which is directed in the present embodiment vertically to the first longitudinal leg 18 and rests on a construction rail 25.
  • the bolt 22 engages in a threaded sleeve 26 which is arranged on the construction rail 25 and holds a prestressed against the construction rail 25 coil spring 21. This is supported with its upper turn on a directly below the bolt head arranged support plate 27 and lies with its lower Turn up the control arm 24 of the gripping member 19.
  • the control arm 24 of the gripping member is therefore mounted between the lower turn of the coil spring 21 and the construction rail 25.
  • the gripping member 19 pierces a corresponding recess of the transverse leg 20th
  • Fig. 7 shows the illustration according to Fig. 6 ,
  • the gripping member 19 is in the open position.
  • it was moved in the direction of movement x, that is to say essentially parallel to the first longitudinal limb 18, against the clamping force of the helical spring 21.
  • the pivot axis T by which the gripping member 19 is pivoted into its open position, is approximately at the free end of the control arm 24.
  • the pivoting movement takes place under construction of a further spring tension and is usually by pulling out a not shown edge protector K in the pull-out R - substantially vertically to the surface of the second longitudinal leg 18 - from the receiving space A (not shown here) induced out.
  • the tension of the coil spring 21 displaces the gripping member 19 back to its closed position.
  • the lower gripping element 15 is analogous to the illustrations in FIG Fig. 6 and 7 built up. One obtains this construction, by the representations of the Fig. 6 and 7 reflected at a plane parallel to the transverse leg 20.
