Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved palletting system, in particular a palletting system suitable to consolidate wrapping pallets for large tiles.
  • a palletiser is an apparatus which serves to distribute and stack on pallets a series of products - coming from a production line - for the subsequent packaging.
  • each product consists of a box containing a plurality of tiles, which must be taken individually and transferred onto one of a plurality of loading pallets, these pallets being different one from the other, for example depending on the destination, the batch and/or the size of the product.
  • the different pallets waiting to be loaded are linearly distributed in a certain area around the terminal of the operating line, which implies non negligible displacements: the drawing/releasing head of the palletising system is hence of a significant sturdiness and power and moves at high speeds backwards and forwards on guiding rails.
  • a plurality of pallets are arranged in preset locations along a rectilinear main path, and a gripping and distribution head is movable above said main path; this head draws the products to be wrapped, coming from a conveyor belt, and transfers and delivers them in the provided sequence on the different pallets.
  • a strapping head is furthermore provided, equally movably mounted along an auxiliary path, parallel to said main path, and which passes in the proximity or in correspondence of said preset locations: a strapping head is configured to wind at least a horizontal loop of strap around at least one array of the products deposited on the pallet.
  • the operating mode provides that the strapping head consolidates the products on the pallets and/or completes the wrapping process taught in IT1408944 .
  • the entire system remains inoperative, despite the gripping head being perfectly functional.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to propose a system which solves the above-mentioned problems and allows a high palletising speed of ceramic tiles, in particular also large-sized tiles.
  • a palletising system in a way already known per se, firstly comprises a processing path L which, in the top plan view of fig. 1 , can be considered limited by two border lines X-X' which determine the lateral bulk thereof and the safety borders for any operators.
  • a plurality of deposition stations S, S1, S2, ... Sn is provided, on each of which a pallet P for the stacking of products SP to be wrapped is located; in the case under examination, products are boxes of large-sized ceramic tiles which, as known, are arranged on the pallet in a vertical attitude for a better impact resistance.
  • a carriage C slides which carries a gripping and transfer head TP for the products SP to be stacked on pallets.
  • This head TP moves between a drawing station ST of the products SP - typically the terminal portion of a conveyor belt N - and one as chosen of said stations Sn where to transfer and position on the respective pallet the transported product SP.
  • This head TP is furthermore mounted vertically movable on carriage C, so that it can, on the one hand, descend and draw a product SP from said drawing station ST, then rise to transport it above a preselected pallet and, on the other hand, descend onto this pallet in deposition station Sn for depositing there the transported product in a preselected position of the stacking pile.
  • head TP is movably mounted, on carriage C, crosswise to processing path L and, in turn, carriage C is translatably mounted, parallel to the processing path L, on a pair of suspended rails or guides R 1 and R 2 .
  • the movements of head TP, for the drawing and the positioning of the products SP on pallets, are controlled by a logical automation unit, which acts in coordination with the information relating to the batches of material produced and delivered at drawing station ST.
  • a strapping unit in correspondence of each one of stations Sn a strapping unit is arranged with an annular track for the strap guide arranged according to a horizontal plane.
  • Each strapping unit typically comprises at least a strapping head R - by which the strap launch and withdrawal are carried out, as well as the welding and the cutting - and an annular launch track 1, in which the wrapping strap is slidably guided.
  • the annular track 1 runs along a generally rectangular plan path, with two first minor sides opposite and parallel and two second major sides opposite and parallel.
  • each annular track 1 of the strapping units is arranged so as to surround, in plan view, the pallet P of the relative deposition station Sn, so as to allow the application of a strapping loop, in the horizontal plane, around the load of pallet-stacked products.
  • the strapping unit is furthermore mounted vertically movable, so that it can perform a strapping loop at the desired height on the pallet-stacked load.
  • all the strapping heads R of the strapping units are arranged on one of the two sides of processing path L, typically on the first minor side of launching track 1 of the strap.
  • the strapping heads are all arranged on the same side. That allows twofold advantages.
  • a first advantage is that of being able to better mutually compact the deposition stations Sn, saving the space occupied by the system.
  • the second advantage derives from the synergistic arrangement with the palletiser supply device, which is described here in the following.
  • a respective supply assembly A of strap 2 is associated, provided with an interchangeable supply bobbin 3, and with supply means 4, which provide to the withdrawal of strap 2 from bobbin 3 and to forward it to strapping head R.
  • supply assembly A with the relative bobbin 3 and supply means 4, are positioned in a first corridor L 1 - comprised between two limiting lines X-Y in the drawing - which is parallel and adjacent to the processing path L of the system, outside the radius of action of gripping head TP.
  • supply assembly A is at a "safety" distance from the strapping head, such distance being the minimum one necessary to avoid any interference with the admissible movement trajectory of gripping head TP.
  • an operator in charge of the system can freely access corridor L1, with no risk whatsoever of accidental interference with gripping head TP. Therefore, even during the standard operation of the system, the operator can access supply assemblies A for maintenance operations, of which the most frequent and important one is that of replacement of an exhausted strapping bobbin 3. This replacement operation can hence occur at any time, without danger of interference with the processing under way on processing line L.
  • the replacement of the bobbin can occur in the step immediately subsequent to the time when a pallet with its completed load is taken by a pallet truck Z, for example as represented in station S 1, and immediately preceding the time when a pallet truck Z brings back into station S 1 an empty pallet, taking into account that pallet trucks move in a second corridor L 2 opposite to the first one L 1 , without any interference with the operators who move in the first corridor L 1 .
  • second corridor L 2 is on the opposite side to first corridor L 1 , with respect to processing path L, and is defined by two limiting lines X'-Y' in the upper part of the drawing of fig. 1 .
  • This second corridor L 2 has preferably a width sufficient to allow, on the one hand, the free removal of a pallet - with or without load - from a respective station Sn and, on the other hand, the movement of one or more pallet trucks Z, also with mutual crossing, in opposite directions (as shown by the movement lines in the drawing).
  • a pallet truck or other self-propelling machine Z 1 delivers an empty pallet and positions it on the ground in the station Sn; then it draws itself out of the station or in any case moves away for other operations.
  • strapping head R with the relative launching track 1 descends and positions itself at the bottom of the pallet, so as not to interfere with gripping and loading head TP, leaving fully free the loading and stacking operations of the products on the pallet.
  • the gripping head TP picks up the products, that is, the individual boxes of tiles SP, arriving from a conveyor belt, and transfers them one by one onto the respective target pallet.
  • gripping head TP a computerised control system, known per se, is normally associated, which is capable of recognising the arriving products on the conveyor belt - even mutually different each time - and to transport them towards the pallet to which they are assigned, as well as to position them in the provided stacking location. It must be noted, as a result, that gripping head TP does not necessarily operate univocally with a single station S, until load completion, but it can serve multiple different stations based on the features of the product arriving on the conveyor belt each time.
  • strapping head R is caused to ascend up to the desired level and at least a first strapping loop is performed.
  • the choice of applying a single strapping loop, or multiple strapping loops at mutually height-distanced levels depends on the nature and size of the products or on the wrapping method employed and is entrusted to the same computerised control system.
  • the original configuration according to the invention allows to implement a singular wrapping mode.
  • the strapping head is preferably on the first minor side of the rectangular launching track 1
  • the mutual binding process between the boxes of tiles is carried out starting from the pallet central symmetry axis and continues outwards.
  • the first boxes are deposited vertically in the central part of the pallet, on the central symmetry axis which is aligned with strapping head R.
  • the subsequent boxes are deposited adjacent to the left and to the right of the central one.
  • movable retaining means (not shown) are provided which maintain the central boxes upright as long as necessary to complete the tie between a first group of boxes, with a fast-print surface wide enough to independently maintain the equilibrium.
  • a fifth step after the load has been completed and suitably tied with a strap, the strapping unit is caused to ascend back up to the uppermost position thereof, above the top of the load.
  • pallet truck Z can intervene - coming from second corridor L 2 - and draw the pallet complete with the relative load, for example to transfer it to a further wrapping station (not shown) or a warehouse.
  • a highly efficient configuration has been provided, since it does not provide any significant idle time for the ordinary maintenance of the strapping units.
  • the operator can act also during the ordinary operation of the palletiser and it is necessary only a very short operation break for inserting the new strap from the feeding assembly A to the strapping head R. If one of the strapping units has a fault, the palletiser system can operate all the same exploiting the other deposition stations Sn.
