Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Umreifungsgerät zum Umreifen eines Packstücks mit einem darumgelegten Spannband, mit einem gegen eine Unterlage arbeitenden Reibrad zum Strammziehen des genannten Spannbandes, wobei das Reibrad wirkungsmäßig mit einem Antrieb verbunden ist und über einen Schwenkhebelarm von der Unterlage abhebbar ist.The invention relates to a strapping device for strapping a package with a tightened strap, with a working against a pad friction wheel for tightening said tension band, wherein the friction wheel is operatively connected to a drive and can be lifted by a Schwenkhebelarm of the pad.

Es ist bekannt (siehe z.B. WO-A-2009/129636 ), beispielsweise ein Kunststoff- oder ein Metallband in einer Schlaufe um ein Packstück zu legen, wobei ein erstes, freies Ende des Bandes dann an einer Verbindungsstelle ein Unterband bildet und das andere Ende des Bandes nach Bildung der Schlaufe an der Verbindungsstelle ein Oberband bildet. An der Verbindungsstelle wird dann das Obermit dem Unterband verbunden, sei es z. B. bei Metallbändern durch Verklammern oder insbesondere auch bei Kunststoffbändern durch Verschweißen.It is known (see eg WO 2009/129636 ), for example, a plastic or a metal strip in a loop to put a package, wherein a first, free end of the band then forms a lower band at a junction and the other end of the band forms an upper band after formation of the loop at the junction. At the junction then the Obermit is connected to the sub-band, be it z. B. in metal bands by clamping or especially in plastic bands by welding.

Anschließend wird dann das überstehende Oberband neben der so entstandenen Verbindung abgetrennt, so dass das um das Packstück herumgeführte Band einen Ring bildet.Subsequently, the supernatant upper band is then separated next to the resulting connection, so that the band wound around the package forms a ring.

Damit dieser Ring eng um das Packstück anliegt, ist das Band vor der Bildung der Verbindung stramm anzuziehen. Hierzu ist es bekannt, das Band am Umreifungsgerät zwischen einem Reibrad und einer Unterlage hindurchzuführen. Das Reibrad wird dann auf das Band abgesenkt und in Rotation versetzt, wodurch das Band zwischen Reibrad und Unterlage hindurchgezogen wird.To make sure that this ring fits snugly around the package, tighten the band tightly before forming the joint. For this purpose, it is known to pass the tape on the strapping device between a friction wheel and a pad. The friction wheel is then lowered onto the belt and set in rotation, whereby the belt between the friction wheel and pad is pulled through.

Am Ende des Strammziehvorganges wird dann die angesprochene Verbindung von Ober- und Unterband hergestellt und das Reibrad kann dann aufhören, eine Zugkraft auf das Band auszuüben.At the end of the tightening process, the addressed connection of upper and lower band is then produced and the friction wheel can then cease to exert a tensile force on the band.

Aufgrund der bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt von dem Reibrad auf das Band ausgeübten Zugkraft sind dabei sowohl die Angriffsstelle des Reibrades an dem Band als auch die dem Reibrad vorgeschalteten Antriebselemente unter Last. Es besteht somit die Notwendigkeit, zu diesem Zeitpunkt eine Entlastung bewirken zu können, um anschließend ein leichteres Handling des Umreifungsgerätes zu ermöglichen und auch um bei den nächsten Schritten mit wenig Last und damit möglichst verschleißarm arbeiten zu können.Due to the pulling force exerted by the friction wheel on the belt up to this time, both the point of engagement of the friction wheel on the belt and the drive elements upstream of the friction wheel are under load. There is thus the need to be able to bring about a relief at this time in order to subsequently enable easier handling of the strapping device and also to be able to work with little load and thus wear as little as possible in the next steps.

Es ist dabei bekannt zur Aufhebung der Last, das Reibrad von dem Band abzuheben, denn dadurch kann die Last sowohl aus der Verbindungsstelle von Reibrad und Band als auch aus dem Antriebsstrang des Reibrades genommen werden.It is known to lift the load to lift the friction wheel of the band, because the load can be taken both from the junction of the friction wheel and belt and from the drive train of the friction wheel.

Es hat sich aber herausgestellt, dass es durch die bis zum Abheben des Reibrades wirkenden Kräfte bzw. Lasten, die wie eine Verspannung auch des Antriebsstranges wirken, manchmal sogar zu einer Verklemmung des Absenk- bzw. Anhebemechanismus für das Reibrad kommen kann, was die Betriebssicherheit einschränkt.However, it has been found that it can sometimes even lead to jamming of the lowering or lifting mechanism for the friction wheel by acting up to the lifting of the friction wheel forces or loads that act as a strain of the drive train, which is the reliability limits.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es somit, ein Umreifungsgerät wie oben angegeben, dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, dass es unter dem angesprochenen Aspekt betriebssicherer wird.The object of the present invention is thus to further develop a strapping device as indicated above in such a way that it becomes more reliable under the aspect addressed.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Schwenkhebelarm mit einem Unterbrechungselement versehen ist, um den Wirkungsweg zwischen Reibrad und Antrieb zu unterbrechen.This object is achieved in that the Schwenkhebelarm is provided with a break element to interrupt the path of action between the friction wheel and drive.

Da die Last am Reibrad von dem Zug des Bandes einerseits stammt, andererseits aber von dem dagegenhaltenden Antrieb bzw. Antriebsstrang, kann durch die Unterbrechung des Wirkungsweges im Antriebsstrang die Belastung bzw. Verspannung abgebaut werden und das Reibrad kann lastfrei und somit problemlos über den Schwenkhebelarm abgehoben werden.Since the load on the friction wheel comes from the train of tape on the one hand, but on the other hand, the opposite drive or drive train, the load or stress can be reduced by the interruption of the path of action in the drive train and the friction wheel can be easily lifted and thus easily on the Schwenkhebelarm become.

Indem der Schwenkhebelarm dabei nicht nur die Abhebebewegung des Reibrades bewirkt, sondern auch direkt mit dem Unterbrechungselement versehen ist, können insgesamt weniger Bauelemente zum Einsatz kommen, so dass auch ein geringerer Fertigungsaufwand für weniger Teile einerseits und entfallender Montageaufwand andererseits eine preiswertere Herstellung eines Umreifungsgerätes ermöglichen, als wenn beispielsweise ein separates Element nur für die Wirkungswegunterbrechung vorzusehen wäre sowie ein weiteres separates Element nur für die Abhebebewegung.By the Schwenkhebelarm not only causes the lifting movement of the friction wheel, but is also provided directly with the interruption element, fewer components can be used, so that a lesser manufacturing cost for fewer parts on the one hand and elimination of assembly costs on the other hand allow a cheaper production of a strapping device, as if, for example, a separate element would be provided only for the interruption of the path and another separate element only for the lift-off.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist zwischen Reibrad und Antrieb ein Getriebe im Wirkungsweg vorgesehen und das Unterbrechungselement wirkt auf ein Element dieses Getriebes. Insbesondere ist es zum Beispiel möglich, dass das Unterbrechungselement eine Kupplung trennt oder ähnliches.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a gear in the path of action is provided between the friction wheel and drive and the interruption element acts on an element of this transmission. In particular, it is possible, for example, that the interruption element separates a coupling or the like.

Bevorzugter Weise ist das Getriebe aber ein Planetengetriebe. Bei diesem gibt es zwischen Antrieb und Abtrieb ein Zwischenelement. Ist der Antrieb wie üblich mit dem Sonnenrad verbunden und der Abtrieb mit dem Hohlrad, handelt es sich bei dem Zwischenelement um den Planetenträger mit den daraufsitzenden Planetenrädern. Erfolgt der Abtrieb andererseits über den Planetenträger mit den Planetenrädern, wird das Zwischenelement durch das Hohlrad gebildet. Theoretisch könnte auch das Sonnenrad als Zwischenelement dienen, wenn An- und Abtrieb über Hohlrad bzw. Planetenträger erfolgen. Wegen der dabei geringen Übersetzung wird diese Konstruktion jedoch nur selten angewandt.Preferably, however, the transmission is a planetary gear. In this there is an intermediate element between drive and output. If the drive is connected to the sun gear as usual and the output with the ring gear, the intermediate element is the planet carrier with the planetary gears seated thereon. If the output on the other hand via the planet carrier with the planetary gears, the intermediate element is formed by the ring gear. Theoretically, the sun gear could serve as an intermediate element, if input and output via ring gear or Planet carrier done. However, because of the low translation, this construction is rarely used.

Das Zwischenelement ist normalerweise gegenüber einem Gehäuse abgestützt, um Drehmomente durchleiten zu können.The intermediate element is normally supported relative to a housing in order to be able to pass torques.

Das mit dem Unterbrechungselement des Schwenkhebelarms erfindungsgemäß zusammenwirkende Getriebeelement ist also jeweils das Zwischenelement dieses Planetengetriebes.The cooperating with the interrupting element of the Schwenkhebelarms transmission element is thus in each case the intermediate element of this planetary gear.

Hierzu wird insbesondere vorgeschlagen, dass dieses Zwischenelement eine Außenverzahnung aufweist und das Unterbrechungselement am Schwenkhebelarm eine mit dieser korrespondierende Stützverzahnung ist.For this purpose, it is in particular proposed that this intermediate element has an external toothing and the interruption element on the pivot lever arm is a supporting toothing corresponding to this.

Diese Konstruktion führt dazu, dass über den Schwenkhebelarm die Stützverzahnung und die Außenverzahnung des Zwischenelementes außer Eingriff gebracht werden können und das Zwischenelement dann frei verdrehbar ist. Sollte also das Unterbrechungselement betätigt sein, so endet vom Antrieb herkommende Last wirkungsmäßig am Zwischenelement, das dann durch die Last verdreht wird. Über dieses Zwischenelement hinaus wird dann also keine Wirkung mehr weitergeleitet. Ist andererseits die Stützverzahnung am Schwenkhebelarm im Eingriff mit der Außenverzahnung des Zwischenelementes, so wird dieses in seiner Rotation fixiert und die Wirkung des Antriebes wird durch das Planetengetriebe hindurch auf das Reibrad weitergeleitet.As a result of this construction, the supporting toothing and the outer toothing of the intermediate element can be disengaged via the pivoting lever arm and the intermediate element can then be freely rotated. Thus, should the interruption element be actuated, the load coming from the drive effectively ends at the intermediate element, which is then rotated by the load. In addition to this intermediate element then no effect will be forwarded. On the other hand, if the support teeth on the Schwenkhebelarm in engagement with the outer toothing of the intermediate element, so this is fixed in its rotation and the effect of the drive is passed through the planetary gear through the friction wheel.

Alternativ zu einer Außenverzahnung am Zwischenelement und einer Stützverzahnung am Schwenkhebelarm wäre auch eine Reibfläche am Zwischenelement und eine Art Bremsbacke am Schwenkhebelarm möglich.As an alternative to an external toothing on the intermediate element and a support toothing on the pivot lever arm, a friction surface on the intermediate element and a type of brake shoe on the pivot lever arm would also be possible.

Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist das Getriebe in oder an einem Lagerbock angeordnet, wobei der Lagerbock über den Schwenkhebel verkippbar ist. Durch das Verkippen des Lagerbockes ist dabei gleichzeitig das Getriebe zu verkippen und dabei auch das mit diesem verbundene Reibrad mit anzuheben.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the transmission is arranged in or on a bearing block, wherein the bearing block via the pivot lever is tiltable. By tilting the bearing block while the gearbox is tilting while also raising the friction wheel associated with this.

Um das Abheben des Reibrades durch das Kippen des Lagerbockes nicht stoßartig zu bewirken, wird vorgeschlagen, zwischen Schwenkhebel und Lagerbock ein elastisches Mittel anzuordnen, beispielsweise eine Feder oder Schraubenfeder.To not abruptly cause the lifting of the friction wheel by tilting the bearing block, it is proposed to arrange an elastic means between the pivot lever and bearing block, for example a spring or coil spring.

Dieses elastische Mittel bewirkt im Gegenzug auch, dass der Schwenkhebel bei seiner Nichtbetätigung selbsttätig zurückgeschwenkt wird und damit die Stützverzahnung in Eingriff mit der Außenverzahnung des Planetengetriebe-Zwischenelementes kommt und damit die Wirkverbindung zwischen Antrieb und Reibrad gewährleistet ist. - Dies ist eine besonders betriebssichere Lösung.This elastic means causes in return also that the pivot lever is automatically pivoted back in its non-actuation and thus the support teeth comes into engagement with the outer teeth of the planetary gear intermediate element and thus the operative connection between the drive and friction wheel is guaranteed. - This is a particularly reliable solution.

Um das Reibrad mit einer gewissen Vorspannung auf das strammzuziehende Spannband zu drücken wird weiterhin vorgeschlagen, zwischen Lagerbock und Gehäuse des Umreifungsgerätes eine Rückstellfeder vorzusehen, die sich am Lagerbock einerseits und am Gehäuse andererseits zumindest jeweils mittelbar abstützt.In order to press the friction wheel with a certain bias on the tightening strap tightening is also proposed to provide a return spring between the bearing block and the housing of the strapping, which is supported on the bearing block on the one hand and on the other hand at least indirectly.

Für eine raumsparende Konstruktion der oben beschriebenen Erfindung wird außerdem noch vorgeschlagen, den Schwenkhebel über eine Zugstange zu betätigen. Dies ist außerdem eine als betriebssicher bewährte Konstruktionsweise.For a space-saving construction of the invention described above is also proposed to actuate the pivot lever via a pull rod. This is also a proven reliable construction method.

Further advantages and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description of an embodiment. It shows

FIG. 2
a strapping device according to FIG. 1 with an effective separation of friction wheel and drive;
FIG. 3
a strapping device according to FIG. 2 with also lifted off from the pad friction wheel.

In der Figur 1 erkennt man die teilweise Seitenansicht eines Umreifungsgerätes. An diesem befindet sich ein nur teilweise dargestellter Griff 1, der zum Halten des Gerätes benutzt wird. Unterhalb des Griffes findet sich ein Betätigungshebel 2, der in Richtung des Griffes gezogen wird, um einige Bedienungsschritte des Umreifungsgerätes zu bewirken. Dies wird im Folgenden erläutert.In the FIG. 1 one recognizes the partial side view of a strapping device. At this is a partially illustrated handle 1, which is used to hold the device. Below the handle is an actuating lever 2, which is pulled in the direction of the handle to effect some operations of the strapping device. This will be explained below.

Zunächst wird ein (nicht dargestelltes) Spannband in einer Schlaufe um ein (ebenfalls nicht dargestelltes) Packstück gelegt. Die beiden Enden der Schlaufe liegen dabei an der Position für eine Verbindungsstelle 3, wo die beiden Enden miteinander verschweißt, verklammert oder auf ähnliche Art und Weise miteinander verbunden werden.First, a tension band (not shown) is placed in a loop around a package (also not shown). The two ends of the loop lie in the position for a joint 3, where the two ends are welded together, clamped or connected to each other in a similar manner.

Damit das Spannband dabei stramm um das Packstück liegt, wird es vor der Verschweißung mittels eines Reibrades 4 strammgezogen, das dabei gegen eine Unterlage 5 arbeitet, indem es rotierend auf die Oberseite des Spannbandes aufgedrückt wird und es damit ergreift und in Rotationsrichtung zieht.Thus, the strap is tight around the package, it is tightened before welding by means of a friction wheel 4, which works against a pad 5 by being pressed in rotation on the top of the clamping band and it takes it and pulls in the direction of rotation.

Das Reibrad 4 wird über das Hohlrad (nicht sichtbar) eines Planetengetriebes 7 angetrieben. Bei dieser Konstruktion ist der Planetenträger 6 mit einer entsprechenden Außenverzahnung 8 versehen, um den Planetenträger 6 in seiner Rotation zu fixieren bzw. freizugeben. In diese Außenverzahnung 8 greift ein Schwenkhebel 9 mit seinem Schwenkhebelarm 10 über eine an dem Ende des Schwenkhebelarmes 10 angebrachte Stützverzahnung 11 ein und verhindert so, dass der Planetenträger 6 rotieren kann. Bei einem Eingreifen der Stützverzahnung 11 in die Außenverzahnung 8 des Planetenträgers 6 wird also der Planetenträger 6 fixiert und eine Rotation des Antriebes 12 wird über die Planetenräder 13 auf das Hohlrad und damit auf das mit diesem verbundene Reibrad 4 übertragen.The friction wheel 4 is driven via the ring gear (not visible) of a planetary gear 7. In this construction, the planet carrier 6 is provided with a corresponding external toothing 8 in order to fix or release the planet carrier 6 in its rotation. In this outer toothing 8 engages a pivot lever 9 with its Schwenkhebelarm 10 via a attached to the end of the Schwenkhebelarmes 10 support teeth 11 and prevents so that the planet carrier 6 can rotate. In an intervention of the support teeth 11 in the outer teeth 8 of the planet carrier 6 so the planet carrier 6 is fixed and a rotation of the drive 12 is transmitted via the planetary gears 13 to the ring gear and thus to the associated friction wheel 4.

Bei einer vergleichbaren Konstruktion kann der Abtrieb an das Reibrad 4 alternativ über den Planetenträger erfolgen. Bei dieser Konstruktion ist dann das Hohlrad mit einer entsprechenden Außenverzahnung zu versehen, um das Hohlrad in seiner Rotation zu fixieren bzw. freizugeben. Bei einem Eingreifen der Stützverzahnung in die Außenverzahnung des Hohlrades wird also das Hohlrad fixiert und eine Rotation des Antriebes wird über die Planetenräder auf den Planetenträger und damit auf das mit diesem verbundene Reibrad übertragen. Somit wird eine Rotation des Antriebs über die Planetenräder des Planetengetriebes übertragen und von diesem über den Planetenradträger auf das Reibrad 4.In a comparable construction of the output to the friction wheel 4 can alternatively be done via the planet carrier. In this construction, the ring gear is then provided with a corresponding external toothing to fix the ring gear in its rotation or release. In an intervention of the support teeth in the outer toothing of the ring gear so the ring gear is fixed and a rotation of the drive is transmitted through the planetary gears on the planet carrier and thus on the associated friction wheel. Thus, a rotation of the drive via the planetary gears of the planetary gear is transmitted and from this via the planet carrier on the friction wheel 4th

Das Reibrad zieht dann in einem abgesenkten Zustand das Spannband stramm um das Packstück, bis dieses abschließend zu einem um das Packstück herumlaufenden Ring verbunden, vorzugsweise verschweißt ist. Jetzt kann das Umreifungsgerät von dem Spannband entfernt werden, wozu aber erst einmal der Kontakt von Reibrad und Spannband zu lösen ist.The friction wheel then pulls in a lowered state, the clamping band tight around the package until it is finally connected to a running around the package ring, preferably welded. Now the strapping device can be removed from the strap, but for the time being, the contact between friction wheel and strap is to be solved.

Aufgrund der auf das Spannband aufgebrachten Reibung ist dieses mit dem Reibrad in gewisser Beziehung verspannt und da auch der Antrieb für das Reibrad entsprechend verspannt ist, kann es zu Schwierigkeiten bei dem Lösen des Reibrades vom Spannband kommen.Due to the friction applied to the strap this is braced with the friction wheel in a certain relationship and since the drive for the friction wheel is braced accordingly, it can cause difficulties in releasing the friction wheel from the strap.

Um diese zu überwinden, wird die Übertragung der Last vom Antrieb auf das Reibrad unterbrochen.To overcome this, the transfer of the load from the drive to the friction wheel is interrupted.

Hierzu wird, wie in der Figur 2 dargestellt, der Betätigungshebel 2 in Richtung auf den Griff 1 gezogen. Dabei wird über eine Zugstange 14 der Schwenkhebel 9 betätigt, so dass die Stützverzahnung 11 am Schwenkhebelarm 10 aus der Außenverzahnung 8 am Planetenträger 6 herausgeschwenkt wird. Dadurch ist jetzt der Planetenträger 6 frei verdrehbar.For this purpose, as in the FIG. 2 shown, the actuating lever 2 is pulled in the direction of the handle 1. In this case, the pivot lever 9 is actuated via a pull rod 14, so that the support teeth 11 is pivoted out of the outer toothing 8 on the planet carrier 6 on Schwenkhebelarm 10. As a result, now the planet carrier 6 is freely rotatable.

Würde jetzt über den Antrieb 12 eine Rotation in das Planetengetriebe 7 eingebracht, so verdrehen die Planetenräder 13 insbesondere den Planetenträger 6, aber nicht mehr das Hohlrad mit an diesem befestigten Reibrad 4. Damit ist der Wirkungsweg zwischen dem Reibrad 4 und dem Antrieb 12 unterbrochen. Auf gleiche Weise wird also auch eine vom Antrieb 12 auf das Reibrad 4 übertragene Last wirkungswegmäßig unterbrochen.If a rotation were now introduced into the planetary gear 7 via the drive 12, the planetary gears 13 in particular rotate the planet carrier 6, but no longer the ring gear with the friction wheel 4 attached thereto. Thus, the path of action between the friction wheel 4 and the drive 12 is interrupted. In the same way, therefore, a load transmitted by the drive 12 to the friction wheel 4 is effectively interrupted.

Eventuell noch in diesem Wirkungsweg vorhandene Last bzw. eine daraus resultierende Verspannung wird damit über eine eventuell auch nur leichte Verdrehung des Planetenträgers 6 abgebaut und das Reibrad 4 ist dann nicht mehr unter Last bzw. Verspannung.Any load or tension resulting therefrom, which may still be present in this path of action, will thus be reduced by possibly even slight rotation of the planetary carrier 6, and the friction wheel 4 will no longer be under load or tension.

Bei einer wie oben beschriebenen alternativen Konstruktion wird durch Betätigung des Schwenkhebels die Stützverzahnung außer Eingriff gebracht aus einer Außenverzahnung am Hohlrad, das damit frei verdrehbar wird. Wird dann in dieser alternativen Konstruktion eine Rotation des Antriebes in das Planetengetriebe eingebracht, so verdreht sich über die Planetenräder das Hohlrad, aber nicht mehr der Planetenträger, an dem bei der Alternativkonstruktion das Reibrad befestigt ist. Somit wird bei dieser Variante in vergleichbarer Weise der Wirkungsweg zwischen Reibrad und Antrieb wirkungswegmäßig unterbrochen, wobei gleichzeitig noch in diesem Wirkungsweg vorhandene Last bzw. eine daraus resultierende Verspannung über eine eventuell auch nur leichte Verdrehung des Hohlrades abgebaut wird und das Reibrad von einer Last bzw. Verspannung entlastet wird.In an alternative construction as described above, the support teeth are disengaged by actuation of the pivot lever from an external toothing on the ring gear, which is thus freely rotatable. Will then in this alternative construction a rotation the drive is introduced into the planetary gear, then the ring gear rotates about the planet gears, but not the planet carrier to which the friction wheel is attached in the alternative construction. Thus, in this variant, the effective path between the friction wheel and the drive is effectively interrupted, while at the same time still existing in this pathway existing load or a resulting strain on a possibly even slight rotation of the ring gear and the friction wheel of a load or Strain is relieved.

Wird dann der Betätigungshebel 2, wie in der Figur 3 dargestellt, noch weiter in Richtung des Griffes 1 nach oben gezogen, wird bei beiden beschriebenen Alternativkonstruktionen auch der Schwenkhebel 9 weiter über die Zugstange 14 zur Seite bewegt. Der Schwenkhebelarm 10 drückt dabei zunächst ein elastisches Mittel in Form einer Schraubenfeder 15 zusammen, bis er in Anlage kommt an einen Lagerbock 16, an dem oder in dem das Planetengetriebe 7 rotierbar gelagert ist.Will then the operating lever 2, as in the FIG. 3 shown pulled even further in the direction of the handle 1 upwards, in both described alternative constructions, the pivot lever 9 is further moved over the tie rod 14 to the side. The Schwenkhebelarm 10 initially presses an elastic means in the form of a coil spring 15 together until it comes into contact with a bearing block 16, on which or in which the planetary gear 7 is rotatably mounted.

Bei einem weiteren Betätigen des Betätigungshebels 2 wird die Zugstange 14 weiter zur Seite bewegt. Dabei kann der Schwenkhebel 9 aber nicht mehr weiter schwenken sondern die über die Zugstange 14 aufgebrachte Kraft wird über die Schwenkachse 17 des Schwenkhebels 9 auf den Lagerbock 16 übertragen und dieser verschwenkt daraufhin um eine Drehachse 18. Dadurch wird auch das am Lagerbock 16 befindliche Planetengetriebe verschwenkt und so wird das an diesem angeflanschte Reibrad 4 von der Unterlage 5 abgehoben und das zwischen Reibrad und Unterlage befindliche (nicht dargestellte) Spannband kann entfernt werden.Upon further actuation of the actuating lever 2, the pull rod 14 is moved further to the side. In this case, the pivot lever 9 but no longer pivot but the force applied via the tie rod 14 is transmitted via the pivot axis 17 of the pivot lever 9 on the bearing block 16 and then pivots about an axis of rotation 18. This also pivots the planetary gear 16 located on the planetary gear and so on this flanged friction wheel 4 is lifted from the base 5 and located between the friction wheel and pad (not shown) strap can be removed.

Das Verschwenken des Lagerbocks 16 um die Drehachse 18 erfolgt dabei gegen die Kraft einer Rückstellfeder 19, die sich einerseits am Lagerbock 16 und andererseits am Gehäuse 20 des Umreifungsgerätes abstützt. Um danach wieder in die Ausgangsstellung zurück zu kommen, wird der Betätigungshebel 2 wieder frei gegeben und damit auch die durch diesen bewegte Zugstange.The pivoting of the bearing block 16 about the axis of rotation 18 takes place against the force of a return spring 19 which is supported on the one hand on the bearing block 16 and on the other hand on the housing 20 of the strapping device. In order to come back then back to the starting position, the actuating lever 2 is released again and thus also the moving through this drawbar.

Durch Freigabe der Zugstange 14 wird aufgrund der Rückstellfeder 19 zunächst der Lagerbock 16 wieder zurück nach unten geschwenkt, wodurch auch das Reibrad 4 wieder auf die Unterlage 5 gedrückt wird.By releasing the pull rod 14, the bearing block 16 is first pivoted back down again due to the return spring 19, whereby the friction wheel 4 is again pressed onto the pad 5.

Dabei wird auch der Schwenkhebel 9 durch die Schraubenfeder 15 bezüglich des Lagerbocks 16 zurückgeschwenkt werden und die Stützverzahnung 11 am Schwenkhebelarm 10 kommt wieder in Eingriff mit der Außenverzahnung 8 am Planetenträger 6. Damit wird der Planetenträger 6 wieder in seiner Rotationsstellung fixiert und vom Antrieb 12 in das Planetengetriebe 7 eingebrachte Rotation ist über die Planetenräder 13 wieder auf das Reibrad 4 zu übertragen.In this case, the pivot lever 9 is pivoted back by the coil spring 15 with respect to the bearing block 16 and the support teeth 11 on Schwenkhebelarm 10 comes back into engagement with the external teeth 8 on the planet carrier 6. Thus, the planet carrier 6 is fixed again in its rotational position and the drive 12 in the planetary gear 7 introduced rotation is transmitted through the planet gears 13 back to the friction wheel 4.

Bei der Alternativkonstruktion, die oben bezüglich der Außenverzahnung am Hohlrad diskutiert wurde, würde über die Stützverzahnung das Hohlrad in seiner Rotationsstellung fixiert und vom Antrieb in das Planetengetriebe eingebrachte Rotation würde über den dann wieder in den Wirkungsweg eingebundenen Planetenträger wieder auf das Reibrad übertragen.In the alternative construction, which was discussed above with respect to the external toothing on the ring gear, the ring gear would be fixed in its rotational position on the support teeth and introduced by the drive in the planetary gear rotation would be transmitted via the then re-incorporated into the path of action planet carrier back to the friction wheel.

Damit kann das Reibrad 4 dann jeweils wieder die gewünschte Zugkraft auf ein zwischen ihm und der Unterlage 5 befindliches Spannband aufbringen.Thus, the friction wheel 4 then each time again apply the desired tensile force on a located between it and the pad 5 clamping band.

Wenn dann an der Verbindungsstelle 3 wieder eine wie oben besprochene Verbindung hergestellt ist, kann die Stützverzahnung 11 wieder außer Eingriff gebracht werden und das Reibrad wie oben beschrieben lastfrei nach oben bewegt werden.Then, when at the junction 3 again as discussed above connection is made, the support teeth 11 can be disengaged again and the friction wheel as described above are moved without load upwards.
