Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drive unit for a strapping device for strapping a package with a plastic band placed around it, wherein the strapping device is provided with a motor-driven tensioning device and a motor-driven welding device for the plastic strip and wherein the tensioning device and the welding device are driven by the same electric motor, the Alternatively, with the interposition of freewheels can be brought into operative connection with the shaft ends of the electric motor with gears and interact with these corresponding rolling bearings, wherein the electric motor and the rolling bearings are mounted on a housing of the strapping device.
  • a drive unit of this type is known and used by the applicant in corresponding strapping.
  • Said plastic band is first placed in a loop around a package, wherein a first, free end in the region of a welding device forms a lower band.
  • the other end of the plastic strap loop is passed as a top band together with the lower band through the welding device and then runs to the tensioning device.
  • a friction wheel or similar element is then provided, which is driven by the electric motor. This friction wheel driven by the electric motor grips the upper belt and thus pulls the loop tightly around the package.
  • the upper and lower bands are compressed in that condition at the joint where they pass through the welding apparatus. At this point, then a vibration plate as Part of the welding device lowered onto the clamped bands and vibrated.
  • the vibration is preferably generated in turn by the above-mentioned electric motor and in particular via a transmission. Due to this vibration occurs between upper and lower belt to a relative movement, which leads to a local melting of the thermo-weldable plastic tape due to the resulting friction. After completion of the vibration movements and a short period of cooling then upper and lower band are welded together at the junction.
  • the upper band is usually cut off next to the connection point.
  • the strapping device can then be removed from the wrapped with the plastic strap package.
  • the strapping tools are now designed to have only one electric motor, although several assemblies to be driven by the motor are present in the strapping apparatus.
  • This electric motor can be reversed in its drive direction and is thereby brought into operative connection via freewheels releasing in opposite directions, alternatively with the tensioning device or the welding device. This ensures that either the clamping or the welding device are driven, but not both devices simultaneously.
  • the above-mentioned electric motor is designed in particular so that it has a projecting at its two (axial) ends of the motor shaft, which is connected at its protruding from the electric motor ends each with one of the freewheeling in the opposite directions freewheels. Basically, this ensures that the motor shaft only over short distances Torsionsmomente must transmit and thus can be made smaller.
  • the electric motor which is in particular a standard component and thus a purchased part, is mounted as a unit directly in the housing of a strapping device. Its shaft ends then stuck in the aforementioned freewheels, on which in turn gears, whether as a bevel pinion or as a spur gear, sit. These gears have an integrally formed shank or collar, on each of which at least one rolling bearing sits. This forces acting on the gears, which act with respect to the motor axis in the radial direction, derived from these bearings.
  • the rolling bearings mentioned are, as for example in the WO 2009/129633 shown, stored in the housing of the strapping, but this may result in double fits, which may result from the storage of both the electric motor and the bearings on the housing.
  • the bearing in particular of the rolling bearings takes place in rubber, whereby on the other hand vibrations are also damped.
  • O-rings are used, which are mounted on the rolling bearings and are available as standard parts.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to improve a drive unit as described above to the effect that damage of the type described are to be avoided.
  • the invention has the advantage that it is possible by the superior jacket extensions to solve the storage of the above-mentioned gears with the rolling bearings on them and the surrounding rubber bearings (ie, for example, O-rings) of the housing of the strapping and this instead provide directly on the electric motor. This relative movements between the electric motor and the rolling bearings due to their separate storage on the housing of the strapping device to be avoided.
  • the invention also has the advantage that the assembly of the strapping device is facilitated during its production: While previously several modules had to be assembled and used in the housing to achieve a drive unit, now only a compact unit in the assembly in the Housing of the strapping device used, so that less and easier assembly steps are possible
  • the casing extension extends at least partially over the provided on the shaft ends of the electric motor freewheels on the provided electric motor in the axial direction. For short and direct force curves are possible, so that the desired support function is guaranteed safe.
  • the jacket extension is provided on one side with an Axialfixierstoff, in particular a circumferential outer groove.
  • an Axialfixierstoff which is composed of electric motor and held by these with the jacket extension storage and thus forming a compact assembly drive unit can be precisely stored in the housing of the strapping.
  • an annular flange o.ä. be provided.
  • the jacket extension provided with the axial fixing means is manufactured as a separate component and then attached to the jacket of the electric motor.
  • the jacket of the electric motor itself can then be produced at a lower precision and thus cheaper.
  • the casing extension is formed integrally with the motor cover, whereby the number of components to be manufactured for the drive unit can be reduced.
  • At least one integrally formed anti-twist device can also be incorporated into the casing extension.
  • Previously customary torque arms which had to be attached separately to the electric motor and, if appropriate, were then to be fastened in the housing of the strapping apparatus, can thus be dispensed with.
  • pneumatic motors are each made product-specific and can not be used as electric motors, e.g. be used in a split housing, but must be used in seamless, integrated into a strapping device mounting holes.
  • the production tolerances which inevitably occur must be compensated for by axial tension of the pneumatic motor, for example via disk springs and the like. be balanced to ensure the necessary tightness for pneumatic motors. - Under these aspects, pneumatic and electric motors in the present invention are not comparable to each other.
  • FIG. 4 is a known in the art drive unit for a strapping device in an exploded view shown together with parts of the housing of such a strapping device.
  • an electric motor 1 which is electrically driven by a battery or a battery (not shown), wherein the motor shaft connected to the rotor of the electric motor protrudes with its two ends 2, 3 at opposite ends of the electric motor 1.
  • freewheels 4, 5 are set, which transmit a rotational movement of the shaft ends in opposite directions.
  • the bevel pinion 6 has a shaft 8, sit on the two bearings 9. In the same way, the spur gear 7 on a collar 10, on which a roller bearing 11 is seated.
  • the assembled drive unit is inserted into suitable receptacles on housing parts 17, 18, wherein the bevel pinion 6 then meshes with a counter gear 19, which sits on a shaft 20 which is received in the housing part 18 via rolling bearings 21.
  • the clamping device not shown here for inserting the tape is opened by pressing the lever 28 and after appropriate insertion of the belt is driven by a push button, not shown, the electric motor 1 in a first direction of rotation, wherein he over the freewheel 4 the Bevel pinion 6 drives and thus spans the plastic band to be welded.
  • electric motor 1 is seated on the shaft ends 2, 3 each have a freewheel 4 and 5, on which a bevel pinion 6 and a spur gear 7 sit. These are, as described above, provided in the same way with a shaft 8 or a collar 10, sit on the rolling bearing 9 and 11 respectively.
  • FIG. 3 a corresponding drive unit is shown in the installed state. It recognizes the electric motor 1 with its shaft ends 2, 3, on which the freewheels 4, 5 are seated, which then carry the bevel pinion 6 and the spur gear 7. On the shank 8 of the bevel pinion 6 then sits the roller bearing 9, which is supported by the O-rings relative to the casing extension 22, wherein in the example shown here only one roller bearing 9 is provided and not two, as in the FIGS. 1 and 2 , On this bearing two O-rings 12 are then placed, with a double fit can be compensated by these O-rings 12.
  • a circumferential groove 23 which acts as Axialfixierstoff and this corresponds to a provided on the housing part 18 ring receptacle 24.
  • the ring receptacle 24 is in the axial direction of the electric motor 1 is relatively close to the counter pinion 19, with which the bevel pinion meshes 6, so that here a distance can be maintained relatively precisely.
  • the jacket extension 22 is formed as recognizable as a separate part and plugged into the jacket of the electric motor 1.
  • the jacket extension shown here serves at the same time as a cover for the electric motor, in which in the embodiment shown here in particular the engine control and a bearing for the motor shaft are housed.
  • groove 23 may also be arranged on a non-central position relative to the casing extension or instead of a flange, a projection or the like may be provided.
  • pins 25 At the opposite end of the electric motor 1 is still provided with two pins 25 on its coat. These engage in corresponding recesses 26, 27 on the electric motor 1 and the housing 18 and thus realize an integrated anti-rotation and thus a moment support for the electric motor 1.
  • the pins 25 may be designed as threaded pins and be screwed into corresponding threaded bushes.
  • the described drive unit according to the invention is considered to be quick and easy to assemble and to operate very reliably during later operation.
