Definitions

  • This invention relates on the one hand to a device for automatically releasing and removing binding material, such as binding wires of a bale entwined with binding material. On the other hand, this invention relates to a method for automatically releasing and removing binding material from such a bale.
  • bales In order to simplify the storage and transport of certain (bulk) goods, such as, for example, wool, flax, straw, cotton, paper, etc., it is commonly known to compress such goods into bales. In order to hold the formed bales together, these are tied up (entwined) by means of binding material, such as, for example, binding wires or straps.
  • binding material such as, for example, binding wires or straps.
  • the binding wires can be severed relatively easily without the need to apply too much pressure to the bale.
  • the bales are stripped of their binding wires in this way, the risk of injuries to bystanders by flying wires remains.
  • the object of this invention is to provide a device which allows the binding wires of a bale to be automatically severed and subsequently allows virtually all severed wires to be automatically removed from the bale, and this without slippage of the severed wires during the removal thereof.
  • the object of this invention is achieved by providing a device for automatically releasing and removing binding wires of a bale entwined with binding wires, comprising: a receiving station provided to receive a bale entwined with binding wires; a cutting device provided to automatically cut through the binding wires of the bale placed in the receiving station; a binding wire remover, which is provided to remove the severed binding wires from the bale, wherein the binding wire remover comprises a movable trolley, provided with a first rotatable holder, which is rotatable about its axis and has two mutually spaced winding mandrels, wherein the trolley is movable to and fro between a standby position and a start position, wherein, in the start position, the first winding mandrel extends in the bale below the binding wires and the second winding mandrel extends above the binding wires, and wherein the receiving station comprises a clamping mandrel, which is provided on a second rota
  • the winding mandrels extend preferably horizontally.
  • the clamping mandrel has in principle the same shape and length as the winding mandrels, the difference being that the clamping mandrel is disposed on the side situated opposite that where the aforementioned trolley is disposed.
  • the clamping mandrel is in particular provided on the second rotatable holder.
  • the binding wire remover is movable up and down between the start position and a wind-on position, wherein the binding wire remover is provided to, during the displacement from the start position into the wind-on position, pull the binding wires received by the first winding mandrel partly out of the bale.
  • the receiving station of the device comprises, in one particular embodiment, a first and second receiving disc provided to receive the (free) end of respectively the first and second winding mandrel.
  • These receiving discs are preferably of conical construction in order to centre the end of the mandrels.
  • the winding mandrels By placing the ends of the first and second winding mandrels in a receiving disc prior to commencement of the wind-on operation, the winding mandrels are held in position during the wind-on operation and a situation in which the winding mandrels begin to bend as a result of the generated stresses is avoided.
  • the said receiving discs are provided on the second rotatable holder, which is rotatable about its axis.
  • the second rotatable holder will co-rotate with the first holder.
  • either the second rotatable holder is arranged such that it is freely rotatable, or the second holder, in an alternative embodiment, is driven.
  • a driven second holder has the advantage that a controlled positioning of the second holder is possible, and also that, in the event of high wind-on torques, the mechanical load on the mandrels is reduced.
  • the wound-on binding wires come into contact with the stripper, whereby they are removed from the winding mandrels.
  • the stripper can additionally be equipped with a cutting element in order to make the binding wires smaller.
  • the stripped binding wires can be collected in a receptacle in order to be later carried off.
  • the bales (3) are going to be processed for further applications, for example recycling, the bales must be stripped of their binding wires (2). In this case, it is important that all binding wires are removed, so that no foreign materials are left behind in the 'bale material'. With the device (1) according to the invention, it is possible to pull all binding wires (2), once severed, out of the bale (3) and automatically remove them.
  • the binding wire remover comprises a movable trolley (5) having two mutually spaced winding mandrels (6, 7).
  • the trolley (5) is movable to and fro between a standby position and a start position, wherein, in the start position, the first winding mandrel (6) extends in the bale (3) below the severed binding wires (2) and the second winding mandrel (7) extends above the severed binding wires (2).
  • the said winding mandrels (6, 7) are provided on a first rotatable holder (14), which is rotatable about its axis and sits mounted on the movable trolley.
  • the trolley (5) is further movable up and down.
  • the device (1) is provided with various motors, one for each movement.
  • the trolley (5) After the wires have been severed, the trolley (5), as shown in Figure 3 , will move towards the bale (3). At that moment, the winding mandrels (6, 7) lie vertically one above the other.
  • the arrangement of the trolley (5) with respect to the bale (3) in the receiving station is such that, after the trolley shifts into its start position, the lowermost winding mandrel (6) (hereinafter referred to as the first winding mandrel) extends below all severed binding wires (2), and the uppermost winding mandrel (7) (hereinafter referred to as the second winding mandrel) extends above the severed binding wires.
  • the first (6) and second (7) winding mandrel have minimally the length of the bale (3) present in the receiving station. In this way, the first winding mandrel (6) certainly extends below all severed binding wires (2).
  • the trolley moves upwards until a clamping position (see Figure 4 ) is reached. During this upward movement, the severed binding wires will be pulled partly out of the bale (3).
  • the clamping will be realized by moving the first winding mandrel (6) against a clamping mandrel (10). Other forms of clamping are likewise possible. The clamping will take place in order to avoid a situation in which the binding wires (2) would slip during the wind-on operation. In order to obtain still better clamping, the clamping mandrel (10) can be constructed as an expansion shaft.
  • the trolley moves onward (sideways) until the wind-on position is reached (see Fig. 5 ).
  • the wind-on operation itself (represented in Figures 6 and 7 ) is realized by rotation of the first rotatable holder (14), and thus also of the winding mandrels (6 and 7) mounted thereon.
  • high winding stresses will be generated and exerted on the two winding mandrels, whereby the winding mandrels (6, 7) are drawn closer together and can begin to bend or even break off.
  • the winding mandrels By placing the ends of the first and second winding mandrels in a receiving disc prior to commencement of the wind-on operation, the winding mandrels, during the wind-on operation, are held in position and a situation in which the winding mandrels (6, 7) begin to bend as a result of the generated stresses is avoided. To make it absolutely clear, the clamping mandrel (10) too is fastened on the second rotatable holder (15).
  • the stripper (11) can possibly be provided with a cutting element (12) in order to make the binding wires (2) smaller.
  • the stripped-off (and possibly diminished) binding wires fall subsequently into a receptacle (13). After the wires have been removed, the trolley moves back downwards into the standby position.
