Description

Ballendrahtschneider  Ball Wire Cutter
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Umreifungen von quaderförmigen Ballen mittels zumindest einem zum Ballen beweglichen The invention relates to a device for cutting strapping of cuboidal bales by means of at least one bale-moving
Messerbalken, wobei die Ballen von einer Fördereinrichtung an dem Messerbalken entlang geführt werden und der Messerbalken an einer senkrecht zur Förderrichtung weisenden Seite der Ballen angeordnet ist. Altpapiere, Zellstoffe, Alttextilien, Altkunststoffflaschen u.ä. werden fast ausschließlich in Ballen zur Verarbeitung angeliefert, wobei das Gewicht der Ballen zwischen 100 und 1500 kg liegen kann. Dabei sind die Ballen im Allgemeinen mit Umreifungen aus Metall, Kunststoff oder anderen Materialien verschnürt.  Knife bar, wherein the bales are guided by a conveyor along the cutter bar and the cutter bar is arranged on a side facing perpendicular to the conveying direction of the bale. Waste paper, pulp, old textiles, old plastic bottles, etc. are delivered almost exclusively in bales for processing, whereby the weight of the bales can be between 100 and 1500 kg. The bales are generally tied with strapping made of metal, plastic or other materials.
Für die Verarbeitung der Materialien sind das Aufschneiden und je nach For the processing of the materials are the cutting and depending on
Weiterverarbeitung möglichst auch das Entfernen der Umreifungen unerlässlich. Neben dem Aufschneiden von Hand sind hierzu inzwischen Maschinen im Einsatz, die einen Messerbalken insbesondere von oben auf den Ballen pressen und so die Umreifungen trennen. Further processing as well as the removal of the strapping essential. In addition to cutting by hand, machines are now being used to press a knife bar onto the bale, especially from above, thus separating the strapping.
Während der Bewegung des Messerbalkens wird die Förderung der Ballen kurzzeitig unterbrochen, was Zeit kostet und die Fördereinrichtung beansprucht.  During the movement of the knife bar, the delivery of the bales is interrupted for a short time, which costs time and claimed the conveyor.
Außerdem muss hierzu gewährleistet sein, dass alle zu schneidenden Umreifungen auf der Oberseite des Ballens verlaufen. Dies kann zum Problem werden, wenn die Ballen auf der falschen Seite liegen oder aber die Umreifungen alle Seiten des Ballens umlaufen.  It must also be ensured that all strapping to be cut on the top of the bale. This can be a problem if the bales are on the wrong side or the strapping orbits all sides of the bale.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher das effiziente Schneiden aller Umreifungen der Ballen zu gewährleisten. The object of the invention is therefore to ensure the efficient cutting of all strapping of the bales.
Erfindungsgemäß wurde die Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass zumindest zwei According to the invention, the object has been achieved in that at least two
Messerbalken auf aneinandergrenzenden Seiten der Ballen angeordnet sind und die Messerbalken während des Kontakts mit den Ballen in einer Traversiervorrichtung in Förderrichtung geführt werden. Knife bars are arranged on adjacent sides of the bales and the Knife bar are guided during contact with the bales in a traversing device in the conveying direction.
Diese Bewegung in Förderrichtung kann ohne Antrieb durch Kraftschluss mit dem Ballen oder angetrieben erfolgen.  This movement in the conveying direction can be done without drive by adhesion to the bale or driven.
Über den Einsatz von zwei Messerbalken auf aneinandergrenzenden Seiten des Ballens können alle den Ballen umlaufenden Umreifungen unabhängig von der Lage des Ballens geschnitten werden. Hinzu kommt, dass durch das Mitbewegen des Messerbalkens mit dem jeweils zu schneidenden Ballen auf ein Anhalten der By using two cutterbars on adjacent sides of the bale, all the strapping circulating around the bale can be cut independently of the bale's position. In addition, by moving along the cutter bar with the respective bale to be cut on a stop of the
Fördereinrichtung während des Schneidens verzichtet werden kann. Conveyor can be omitted during cutting.
Der jeweilige Messerbalken sollte vorzugsweise während des gesamten Kontaktes mit dem, insbesondere aber während der starken Anpressung an den Ballen mit diesem mitbewegt werden.  The respective cutter bar should preferably be moved during the entire contact with the, but especially during the strong contact with the bale with this.
Dabei ist es von Vorteil, wenn die Traversiervorrichtung in Förderrichtung die gleiche Geschwindigkeit wie die Fördereinrichtung hat. Allerdings kann der Schneidvorgang in Abhängigkeit von der Gestaltung der Schneidvorrichtung des Messerbalkens eventuell auch durch eine geringfügige Relativbewegung zwischen Messerbalken und Ballen unterstützt werden.  It is advantageous if the traversing device in the conveying direction has the same speed as the conveyor. However, depending on the design of the cutting device of the cutter bar, the cutting operation may possibly also be assisted by a slight relative movement between the cutter bar and the bale.
Nach dem Schneidvorgang wird der Messerbalken vom Ballen wegbewegt und die Traversiervorrichtung mit dem Messerbalken wieder in die Ausgangsposition zurückgefahren.  After the cutting process, the cutter bar is moved away from the bale and the traversing device is moved back to the starting position with the cutter bar.
Im Interesse einer robusten und einfachen Konstruktion sollte die Fördereinrichtung von einem unter den Ballen laufenden Förderband gebildet werden. Da die Ballen in der Regel auf der Fördereinrichtung aufliegen und so von dieser fixiert werden, ist es des Weiteren von Vorteil, wenn wenigstens ein Messerbalken oberhalb der Ballen angeordnet ist.  In the interest of a robust and simple construction, the conveyor should be formed by a conveyor running under the bale. Since the bales usually rest on the conveyor and are thus fixed by this, it is furthermore advantageous if at least one cutter bar is arranged above the bale.
Um ein Ausweichen der Ballen beim Schneiden der Umreifungen sowie eine  To avoid the bales when cutting the strapping and a
Beeinträchtigung der Förder- und Schneideinrichtung durch sich lösende Teile des Ballens zu verhindern, sollten die Ballen im Bereich der Messerbalken seitlich, vorzugsweise beidseitig der Fördereinrichtung von einer Seitenwand geführt werden. Zur Vorfixierung der Ballen auf der Fördereinrichtung sollte der obere Messerbalken vor den seitlichen Messerbalken gegen den jeweiligen Ballen gepresst werden. Zur Vervollkommnung des Schneidens befindet sich wenigstens ein Messerbalken vorzugsweise vertikal zur Förderrichtung seitlich der Ballen, wobei jedoch auch andere Lagen denkbar sind. Die Seitenwand auf der Seite dieses seitlichen To prevent deterioration of the conveying and cutting device by releasing parts of the bale, the bales should be in the area of the cutter bar side, preferably be guided on both sides of the conveyor of a side wall. To pre-fix the bales on the conveyor, the upper cutter bar should be pressed against the respective bale in front of the lateral cutter bar. To perfect the cutting, at least one knife bar is preferably located vertically to the conveying direction of the bale, although other layers are also conceivable. The side wall on the side of this side
Messerbalkens ist mit der Traversiervorrichtung verbunden. Knife bar is connected to the traversing device.
Die mitbewegte Seitenwand schützt den Messerbalken und die Traversiervorrichtung effektiv vor einer Beeinträchtigung der Funktion durch sich von den Ballen lösende Materialien.  The co-moving sidewall effectively protects the cutterbar and traversing device from interfering with function by materials dissolving from the bales.
Zur beidseitigen Fixierung und Trennung aber insbesondere dann, wenn auf der Fördereinrichtung jeweils zwei Ballen quer zur Förderrichtung nebeneinander liegen, ist es von Vorteil, wenn auf beiden Seiten der Fördereinrichtung wenigstens ein Messerbalken angeordnet ist.  But for two-sided fixation and separation but especially when two bales are juxtaposed transversely to the conveying direction on the conveyor, it is advantageous if at least one cutter bar is arranged on both sides of the conveyor.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung besitzt die mit der Traversiervorrichtung  In a preferred embodiment, it has the traverse device
verbundene Seitenwand einen Schlitz, der eine Bewegung des Messerbalkens über diese Seitenwand hinaus zum Ballen erlaubt. Allerdings sind auch andere connected side wall a slot that allows movement of the cutter bar beyond this side wall to bale. However, there are others too
Konstruktionen möglich, bei denen die wesentlichen Teile des Messerbalkens zwischen Ballen und Seitenwand angeordnet sind. Constructions are possible in which the essential parts of the cutter bar between bale and side wall are arranged.
Um zu verhindern, dass von den Ballen gelöste Teile vor und/oder nach der verfahrbaren Seitenwand von der Fördereinrichtung herunterfallen, sollten die in und/oder entgegen der Förderrichtung liegenden Enden der mit der In order to prevent parts of the bales from falling off the conveyor before and / or after the movable side wall, the ends in and / or opposite to the direction of conveyance should be with the
Traversiervorrichtung verbundenen Seitenwand jeweils das Ende einer sich daran anschließenden seitlichen, stationären Seitenwand überdecken. Traversing connected side wall each cover the end of an adjoining lateral, stationary side wall.
Für das Ausführen des eigentlichen Schneidvorgangs beim Pressen der For carrying out the actual cutting process when pressing the
Messerbalken gegen die Ballen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Messerbalken zumindest eine zum Ballen weisende Schneide besitzen. Jedoch können auch anders gestaltete Schneideinrichtungen am Messerbalken befestigt sein. Knife bar against the bale, it is advantageous if the cutter bar have at least one pointing to the bale cutting edge. However, differently shaped cutting devices may be attached to the cutter bar.
Besondere Vorteile ergeben sich beim Einsatz der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, wenn die Ballen von Kunststoff-, Textil-, Faserstoff- oder Altpapierballen mit vorzugsweise allseitig umlaufenden Umreifungen gebildet werden.  Particular advantages arise when using the device according to the invention, when the bales of plastic, textile, pulp or waste paper bales are formed with preferably all-round circumferential strapping.
Nachfolgend soll die Erfindung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher erläutert werden.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment.
In der beigefügten Zeichnung zeigt: In the attached drawing shows:
Figur 1 : eine Draufsicht auf die Schneidvorrichtung,  FIG. 1 is a plan view of the cutting device;
Figur 2: einen Längsschnitt und Figure 2: a longitudinal section and
Figur 3: eine Draufsicht auf eine andere Schneidvorrichtung.  Figure 3: a plan view of another cutting device.
Die quaderförmigen beispielsweise aus Altpapier bestehenden Ballen 2 werden von einer Fördereinrichtung 5 in Form eines Förderbandes zur Weiterverarbeitung in The block-shaped, for example, made of waste paper bales 2 are from a conveyor 5 in the form of a conveyor belt for further processing in
Förderrichtung 4 zu einem nachgeschalteten Bearbeitungsaggregat, z.B. einem Stofflöser befördert. Hierzu müssen die Umreifungen 1 , die auf allen Seiten desConveying direction 4 to a downstream processing unit, e.g. a pulper. For this purpose, the strapping 1, on all sides of the
Ballens 2 zu finden sind, getrennt werden. Bales 2 are to be separated.
Die Trennung der Umreifungen 1 erfolgt gemäß der in Figur 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführung mittels einer Schneidvorrichtung, die im Wesentlichen von zwei  The separation of the strapping 1 takes place according to the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2 by means of a cutting device, which consists of two
Messerbalken 3 gebildet wird, die jeweils eine zum Ballen 2 weisende Schneide 10 besitzen. Knife bar 3 is formed, each having a bale 2 facing cutting edge 10.
Zum Trennen der Umreifungen 1 werden die Messerbalken 3 in Richtung des jeweiligen Ballens 2 gepresst. Nach der Trennung erfolgt das Zurückfahren der Messerbalken 3.  To separate the strapping 1, the cutter bar 3 are pressed in the direction of the respective bale 2. After separation, the back of the cutter bar 3 takes place.
Damit das Trennen der Umreifungen 1 durch die Bewegung der Ballen 2 auf der Fördereinrichtung 5 nicht beeinträchtigt wird, aber andererseits die Fördereinrichtung 5 auch kontinuierlich betrieben werden kann, werden die Messerbalken 3 während des Trennens, d.h. während der Anpressung von einer Traversiervorrichtung 6 kontinuierlich synchron mit der Fördereinrichtung 5 bewegt. Nach dem Schneiden bringt die Traversiervorrichtung 6 die Messerbalken 3 wieder in die Ausgangslage zurück. Um zu gewährleisten, dass möglichst alle Umreifungen 1 getrennt werden, befindet sich ein Messerbalken 3 über den Ballen 2 und ein anderer seitlich daneben. So that the separation of the strapping 1 is not affected by the movement of the bale 2 on the conveyor 5, but on the other hand, the conveyor 5 can also be operated continuously, the cutter bar 3 during the separation, ie during the pressing of a traverse device 6 continuously synchronously with the conveyor 5 moves. After cutting, the traversing device 6 brings the cutter bar 3 back into the starting position. In order to ensure that as far as possible all strapping 1 are separated, there is a cutter bar 3 over the bale 2 and another laterally next to it.
Während der obere Messerbalken 3 zum Schneiden nach unten auf den Ballen 2 gedrückt wird, wird der seitliche Messerbalken 3 gegen die entsprechende Seite des Ballens 2 gepresst. While the upper cutter bar 3 is pressed down onto the bale 2 for cutting, the side cutter bar 3 is pressed against the corresponding side of the bale 2.
Dabei sollte verhindert werden, dass Teile des Ballens 2 insbesondere im Bereich der Schneidvorrichtung von der Fördereinrichtung 5 fallen und so deren Funktion beeinträchtigen. Daher werden die Ballen 2 seitlich von in Förderrichtung 4 In this case, it should be prevented that parts of the bale 2, in particular in the region of the cutting device, fall from the conveyor 5 and thus impair their function. Therefore, the bales 2 are laterally from in the conveying direction 4th
verlaufenden Seitenwänden 7,8 geleitet, die in einfacher Ausführung von Leitblechen gebildet werden. extending side walls 7,8 passed, which are formed in a simple design of baffles.
Beim Schneiden kann so die Fördereinrichtung 5 den Ballen 2 gegenüber dem oberen Messerbalken 3 und eine seitliche Seitenwand 7 gegenüber dem seitlichen Messerbalken 3 fixieren.  When cutting, the conveyor 5 can thus fix the bale 2 in relation to the upper cutter bar 3 and a lateral side wall 7 relative to the lateral cutter bar 3.
Um auch den Bereich um den seitlichen Messerbalken 3 vor Verschmutzung zu schützen, ist die seitliche Seitenwand 8 in diesem Bereich mit der In order to protect the area around the side cutter bar 3 from contamination, the lateral side wall 8 in this area with the
Traversiervorrichtung 6 verbunden, d.h., dass sie gemeinsam mit dem seitlichen Messerbalken 3 in Förderrichtung 4 und wieder zurückbewegt wird. Traversiervorrichtung 6 connected, that is, that it is moved together with the side cutter bar 3 in the conveying direction 4 and back.
Damit der seitliche Messerbalken 3 ungehindert durch die Seitenwand 8 zum Ballen 2 und wieder wegbewegt werden kann, hat diese seitliche Seitenwand 8 einen Schlitz 9. So that the lateral cutter bar 3 can be moved freely through the side wall 8 to the bale 2 and again, this lateral side wall 8 has a slot 9.

Hierzu überdecken sich die traversierende 8 und die stationäre Seitenwand 7 in jeder Position des Messerbalkens 3. For this purpose, the traversing 8 and the stationary side wall 7 overlap in every position of the cutter bar 3.
Im Unterschied hierzu zeigt Figur 3 eine Schneidvorrichtung bei der auf der  In contrast, Figure 3 shows a cutting device in the on the
Fördereinrichtung 5 quer zur Förderrichtung 4 jeweils zwei Ballen 2 nebeneinander abgelegt sind. Conveyor 5 transverse to the conveying direction 4 each two bales 2 are stored side by side.
Zur Trennung aller Umreifungen 1 beider Ballen 2 ist hier neben dem oberen Messerbalken 3 beidseitig der Fördereinrichtung 5 je ein seitlicher Messerbalken 3 angeordnet. Beide seitlichen Messerbalken 3 sind mit der jeweiligen Seitenwand 8 sowie dem oberen Messerbalken 3 mit der gemeinsamen Traversiervorrichtung 6 verbunden. Da die seitlichen Messerbalken 3 von gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Ballen 2 gegen diese gepresst werden, erfolgt hierdurch gleichzeitig auch eine Fixierung der Ballen 2 während des Trennens der Umreifungen 1 . To separate all Umreifungen 1 both bales 2 is here next to the upper Knife bar 3 on both sides of the conveyor 5 each arranged a side cutter bar 3. Both lateral cutter bar 3 are connected to the respective side wall 8 and the upper cutter bar 3 with the common traversing device 6. Since the lateral cutterbars 3 are pressed from opposite sides of the bale 2 against them, thereby simultaneously fixing of the bale 2 during the separation of the strapping. 1
