Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schneiden von Umreifungen von quaderförmigen Ballen mittels zumindest einem zum Ballen beweglichen 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.The invention relates to a device for cutting strapping of parallelepiped bales by means of at least one bale-moving cutter bar, wherein the bales are guided by a conveyor along the cutter bar and the cutter bar is arranged on a side of the bale pointing perpendicular to the conveying direction.

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.
Für die Verarbeitung der Materialien sind das Aufschneiden und je nach 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. Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist beispielsweise in der US 56 80 691 beschrieben.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.
For the processing of the materials, the cutting and, if possible, the removal of the strapping are also 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. Such a device is for example in the US 56 80 691 described.

Während der Bewegung des Messerbalkens wird die Förderung der Ballen kurzzeitig unterbrochen, was Zeit kostet und die Fördereinrichtung beansprucht.
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.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.
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 Messerbalken auf aneinandergrenzenden Seiten der Ballen angeordnet sind und die Messerbalken während des Kontakts mit den Ballen in einer Traversiervorrichtung in Förderrichtung geführt werden.
Diese Bewegung in Förderrichtung kann ohne Antrieb durch Kraftschluss mit dem Ballen oder angetrieben erfolgen.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that at least two cutter bars are arranged on adjoining sides of the bales and the Knife bar are guided during contact with the bales in a traversing device in the conveying direction.
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 Fördereinrichtung während des Schneidens verzichtet werden kann.
Der jeweilige Messerbalken sollte vorzugsweise während des gesamten Kontaktes mit dem, insbesondere aber während der starken Anpressung an den Ballen mit diesem mitbewegt werden.
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.
Nach dem Schneidvorgang wird der Messerbalken vom Ballen wegbewegt und die Traversiervorrichtung mit dem Messerbalken wieder in die Ausgangsposition zurückgefahren.
Im Interesse einer robusten und einfachen Konstruktion sollte die Fördereinrichtung von einem unter den Ballen laufenden Förderband gebildet werden.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, it can be dispensed with by the moving of the knife bar with the respective bale to be cut on a stop of the conveyor during cutting.
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.
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.
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.
In the interest of a robust and simple construction, the conveyor should be formed by a conveyor running under the bale.

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.
Um ein Ausweichen der Ballen beim Schneiden der Umreifungen sowie eine 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.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.
In order to prevent deflection of the bales when cutting the strapping and impairment 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.

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 Messerbalkens ist mit der Traversiervorrichtung verbunden.
Die mitbewegte Seitenwand schützt den Messerbalken und die Traversiervorrichtung effektiv vor einer Beeinträchtigung der Funktion durch sich von den Ballen lösende Materialien.
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.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführung besitzt die mit der Traversiervorrichtung verbundene Seitenwand einen Schlitz, der eine Bewegung des Messerbalkens über diese Seitenwand hinaus zum Ballen erlaubt. Allerdings sind auch andere Konstruktionen möglich, bei denen die wesentlichen Teile des Messerbalkens zwischen Ballen und Seitenwand angeordnet sind.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 lateral cutter bar is connected to the traversing device.
The co-moving sidewall effectively protects the cutterbar and traversing device from interfering with function by materials dissolving from the bales.
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.
In a preferred embodiment, the side wall connected to the traversing device has a slot which allows movement of the cutter bar beyond this sidewall to bale. However, other 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 Traversiervorrichtung verbundenen Seitenwand jeweils das Ende einer sich daran anschließenden seitlichen, stationären Seitenwand überdecken.In order to prevent parts detached from the bales from falling off the conveyor before and / or after the movable side wall, the ends of the side wall connected in and / or opposite the conveying direction should each have the end of a lateral, stationary side connected to the traversing device Cover side wall.

Für das Ausführen des eigentlichen Schneidvorgangs beim Pressen der Messerbalken gegen die Ballen ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Messerbalken zumindest eine zum Ballen weisende Schneide besitzen.For carrying out the actual cutting process when pressing the cutter bar against the bale, it is advantageous if the cutter bar have at least one pointing to the bale cutting edge.

Jedoch können auch anders gestaltete Schneideinrichtungen am Messerbalken befestigt sein.
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.However, differently shaped cutting devices may be attached to the cutter bar.
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. In der beigefügten Zeichnung zeigt:

  • Figur 1: eine Draufsicht auf die Schneidvorrichtung,
  • Figur 2: einen Längsschnitt und
  • Figur 3: eine Draufsicht auf eine andere Schneidvorrichtung.
Die quaderförmigen beispielsweise aus Altpapier bestehenden Ballen 2 werden von einer Fördereinrichtung 5 in Form eines Förderbandes zur Weiterverarbeitung in Förderrichtung 4 zu einem nachgeschalteten Bearbeitungsaggregat, z.B. einem Stofflöser befördert. Hierzu müssen die Umreifungen 1, die auf allen Seiten des Ballens 2 zu finden sind, getrennt werden.
Die Trennung der Umreifungen 1 erfolgt gemäß der in Figur 1 und 2 dargestellten Ausführung mittels einer Schneidvorrichtung, die im Wesentlichen von zwei Messerbalken 3 gebildet wird, die jeweils eine zum Ballen 2 weisende Schneide 10 besitzen.
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.
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.The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment. In the attached drawing shows:
  • FIG. 1 a top view of the cutting device,
  • FIG. 2 : a longitudinal section and
  • FIG. 3 : a plan view of another cutting device.
The block-shaped, for example, consisting of waste paper bales 2 are conveyed by a conveyor 5 in the form of a conveyor belt for further processing in the conveying direction 4 to a downstream processing unit, such as a pulper. For this purpose, the strapping 1, which can be found on all sides of the bale 2, must be separated.
The separation of the strapping 1 takes place according to the in FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated embodiment by means of a cutting device, which is essentially formed by two cutter bar 3, each having a bale 2 facing cutting edge 10.
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.
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.

Um zu gewährleisten, dass möglichst alle Umreifungen 1 getrennt werden, befindet sich ein Messerbalken 3 über den Ballen 2 und ein anderer seitlich daneben. 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.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. 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 verlaufenden Seitenwänden 7,8 geleitet, die in einfacher Ausführung von Leitblechen gebildet werden.
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.
Um auch den Bereich um den seitlichen Messerbalken 3 vor Verschmutzung zu schützen, ist die seitliche Seitenwand 8 in diesem Bereich mit der Traversiervorrichtung 6 verbunden, d.h., dass sie gemeinsam mit dem seitlichen Messerbalken 3 in Förderrichtung 4 und wieder zurückbewegt wird.
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.
Zur Vervollkommnung der Führung geht die mit der Traversiervorrichtung 6 verbundene seitliche Seitenwand 8 an den beiden in und entgegen der Förderrichtung 4 liegenden Enden jeweils in eine stationäre Seitenwand 7 über. Hierzu überdecken sich die traversierende 8 und die stationäre Seitenwand 7 in jeder Position des Messerbalkens 3.
Im Unterschied hierzu zeigt Figur 3 eine Schneidvorrichtung bei der auf der Fördereinrichtung 5 quer zur Förderrichtung 4 jeweils zwei Ballen 2 nebeneinander abgelegt sind.
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.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 guided laterally by extending in the conveying direction 4 side walls 7,8, which are formed in a simple embodiment of baffles.
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.
In order to protect the area around the lateral cutter bar 3 from contamination, the lateral side wall 8 is connected in this area with the traversing device 6, ie, that it is moved back together with the lateral cutter bar 3 in the conveying direction 4 and again.
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.
To perfect the guidance, the lateral side wall 8 connected to the traversing device 6 at each of the two ends located in and opposite to the conveying direction 4 changes into a stationary side wall 7. For this purpose, the traversing 8 and the stationary side wall 7 overlap in every position of the cutter bar 3.
In contrast to this shows FIG. 3 a cutting device in which on the conveyor 5 transversely to the conveying direction 4 two bales 2 are stored side by side.
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, this also simultaneously fixes the bales 2 during the separation of the strapping 1.
