Definitions

  • the invention relates to a baler according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • balers are for example from the DE 10 2009 053 134 A1 known.
  • the material to be compressed in particular cardboard packaging, waste paper, foils or PET bottles, should be compacted in a space-saving manner by such baling presses, so that the bales compressed in this way can be transported and stored inexpensively. It is imperative to encase the pressed material by means of one or more wire loops before it is removed from the baler, so that the pressed material can no longer fall apart.
  • the material to be compressed is usually filled into the filling opening of the baling press until the press ram has reached a predetermined position, that is to say the size of the compressed material essentially corresponds to the subsequent bale.
  • a flap on the baling press is to be opened in order to manually knot the wire loops at the end of the pressed bale, i.e. between this and the press ram.
  • balers that have a predetermined baling space to use the For example, it is closed on one side by a door, which serves as a delimitation and thus as a stop for the pressed material, to reach into the pressing space.
  • the door which is pivotably hinged to the baling press housing, allows the packed bale to be removed from the baling room after pressing.
  • the position of the press ram depends essentially on how much material to be pressed has been entered into the baling space. If too much or less material is filled in during the last filling process, namely before the end of the compression cycle, the press ram is in each case at different positions which can be within a range of approximately ⁇ 5 cm.
  • the wire required to wrap the compressed bale is automatically drawn from the corresponding unwinding rollers when the goods are compressed and then runs laterally in the longitudinal direction of the baler, but an automatic or mechanical connection of the wire ends between the press ram and the bale cannot take place because the press ram
  • the press cycle ends at different, not exactly defined positions.
  • baler can for example be obtained from the DE 20 2012 004 276 U1 can be removed.
  • This is a baling press that is aligned in the direction of the stroke and has an outlet channel through which the compressed and packaged bale is pushed out by the subsequently inputted material to be compressed and at the same time serves as a counter-stop for the material to be compressed in the baling room.
  • the outlet channel there are several compressed and packaged bales which, due to the friction between them and the inner wall of the outlet channel, exert sufficient pressure on the material to be compressed.
  • the position of the press ram can be precisely specified in such a press system, because the pressed and packaged bales arranged in the outlet channel can be moved relative to the baling chamber, so that the position of the press ram can be aligned regardless of the amount of material filled. If the pressing force exerted by the press ram on the material to be pressed increases, the bales already located in the outlet channel are more or less displaced by this force.
  • baling presses can then be provided by means of a mechanical or automated connecting or packaging device which is fixedly arranged on the baling press housing and runs in alignment or in the same plane as the press ram.
  • the end position of the press ram after the end of the last pressing process is therefore precisely specified and the machine-operated packaging device can connect the wire ends in the area of the press ram so that on the one hand the pressed material is tightly encased with at least one wire loop and on the other hand it closes for the next
  • a wire loop closed on one side is already present in the area of the pressing chamber, which is shifted by the subsequently entered material and the stroke movements of the pressing ram in the direction of the outlet opening or the outlet channel, so that the pressing process and the packaging or constriction of the finished pressed product are shifted Bale repeated.
  • baling presses are extremely large, since the outlet channel often has a length of three or more meters. Such a length of the outlet channel is absolutely necessary for the reliable mode of operation or the positioning of the ram exactly in the plane of the packaging device.
  • baling press according to the preamble of claim 1, on which a packaging device is arranged, which on the one hand is movable relative to the baling press housing and on the other hand takes up the wire in order to guide it through channels worked into the press ram, so that the pressed material is completely covered by the wire.
  • the packaging device and the ram run in alignment with one another during the changeover process.
  • a sensor is arranged on the press ram and on the packaging device, by means of which the positions of the press ram and the packaging device can be controlled, that the stroke paths of the press ram are measured by the sensors, that the measured movements of the press ram result in the termination of the respective Pressing process can be determined, and that the sensor is provided on the packaging device, by means of which the position of the packaging device is aligned with the position of the press ram, it is ensured that regardless of the position of the press ram, the wire unwound from the wire rolls into the interior of the baler housing by means of the packaging device as well as into the ram to form the wire loop around the bale.
  • the The wire loop is fastened automatically by the lifting movement of the packaging device and that, regardless of the position of the press ram, the wire loop can be formed with the aid of the packaging device after the pressing process has ended.
  • Both the stroke movements of the press ram and the final position of the press ram after completion of the pressing process can be recorded with the help of sensors, so that the packaging device, which is linked relative to the baling press housing, can then be moved and aligned exactly in line with the position of the press ram, around the respective Dip the wire from the wire roll into the inside of the press ram.
  • baler housing a long discharge opening in the form of a channel is no longer necessary, so that the size of the baler is considerably reduced.
  • the compacted bale can namely be removed through the door which is pivotably mounted on the baler housing.
  • the baler 1 shown is used to produce a compressed bale 3 from isolated goods 2, which is strapped by means of a wire loop 7 so that the shape of the bale 3 produced is not changed during the further transport and storage process.
  • the baling press 1 can, for example, form waste products from cardboard, from foils or PET bottles into the bale 3.
  • the baler 1 has a longitudinal axis 4 which can be oriented horizontally, vertically or inclined; depending on the use and purpose of the baler 1.
  • the baling press 1 consists of a rectangular baling press housing 8 which encloses an interior space.
  • a press ram 9 is provided in the baling press housing 8, which can be moved back and forth in an axial movement parallel to the longitudinal axis 4 by a lifting device or some other pneumatic, electrical, mechanical drive.
  • a filling opening 13 is incorporated into the baling press housing 8, through which the material 2 to be compressed can be filled into the baling press housing 8.
  • the ram 9 is positioned laterally next to the filling opening 13 in the initial position, so that the material to be pressed can be filled into the baling press housing 8 without the ram 9 hindering this filling process.
  • the ram 9 is then actuated and moved in the direction of a pressure chamber 10.
  • the pressure chamber 10 is on the one hand on four sides by the walls of the baler housing 8 and by the ram 9 and one on the
  • the baler housing 8 is closed by means of the door 11 placed on the hinges 12.
  • the door 11 is accordingly arranged opposite the press ram 9 and can be opened from the outside in order to remove the pressed bale 3 from the baler housing 8. Consequently, the door 11 serves on the one hand as a stop or counter-bearing for the press ram 9 and on the other hand it provides access to the interior of the baling press housing 8 in order to remove the bale 3 therefrom.
  • baler housing 8 On the outside of the baler housing 8, two wire reels 5 are provided, on each of which a wire 6 is rolled up and, as described below, is unwound from the wire reels 5, while the ram 9 conveys the filled material 2 into the pressure chamber 10.
  • the separated wires 6 are first fed into the interior of the baler housing 8 and are to be connected to one another in order to produce the initial state of the wire loop 7.
  • the wire loop 7 and thus the respective wire 6 is unwound from the wire reel 5 and the wire 6 or the wire loop 7, which is still open on one side, lies between one of the inner walls of the baling press housing 8 and the already compressed part of the bale 3.
  • the area 15 in which the packaging device 21 can be arranged and in which the press ram 9 can run as soon as enough material 2 has been filled into the pressure chamber 10 is identified by the reference number 15.
  • the stroke of the ram 9 or the position is measured by means of sensors and other electrical or mechanical aids, so that conclusions can be drawn from these measured values as to which amount of the pressed material 2 is already in the pressure chamber 10, by the size of the finished pressed one Ballens 3 to be designed as uniformly as possible. If the press ram 9 is accordingly in its end position in the area 15, which can vary in an order of magnitude of ⁇ 10 cm, a packaging device 21 is advanced to the position of the press ram 9.
  • the packaging device 21 is mounted parallel to and at a distance from the longitudinal axis 4 of the baling press 1 so as to be displaceable by a rail 22 or linear guide which is firmly connected to the baling press housing 8.
  • the packaging device 21 is operatively connected via a spindle 23 with the aid of a drive 24.
  • the spindle 23 rotates around its own axis, so that the packaging device 21 is moved in the manner of a linear drive relative to the baler housing 8 parallel to the longitudinal axis in the direction of the position of the press ram 9.
  • the direction of rotation of the spindle 23 or of the drive 24 can be adjusted clockwise or counterclockwise.
  • a loop of the wire 6 is namely formed by the packaging device 21, which is inside the press ram 9 according to FIG Figure 2a runs.
  • the packaging device 21 can be moved along the longitudinal axis 4 in the direction of the press ram 9 until it has moved in alignment with the press ram 9.
  • the packaging device 21 has a piston 29 on which is aligned perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 4 and which can dip into the ram 9.
  • the press ram 9 has an interspace 16, which is introduced into the longitudinal axis 4 at right angles to it and extends in the manner of a groove along an axis over the entire press ram.
  • the piston 29 of the packaging device 21 can be introduced into the interior of the press ram 9 through the space 16 in a stroke-wise manner.
  • the piston 29 takes one wire 6 with it and unwinds it from the corresponding wire roll 5, so that the wire 6 forms a strapping in the space 16 of the ram 9 runs.
  • the piston 29 of the packaging device 21 can be moved hydraulically or pneumatically by means of an electrical or mechanical drive.
  • the drive 24 can also be used to generate the stroke movement of the piston 29 of the packaging device 21.
  • the strapping of the bale 3 is formed in that the loop of the wire 6 is separated and the opposite wire 6 is pulled into the space 16 of the press ram 9 and cut.
  • the loose end of the wire 6, which is wrapped around the bale 3 is connected to one end of the loop of the upper wire 6 through the packaging device 21 so that the wire loop 7 which straps around the bale 3 is formed, and the others both loose ends of the opposing wires 6 are connected to one another by the packaging device 21 in order to produce a part of a new wire loop 7 again.
  • the piston 29 of the packaging device 21 is pulled out of the press ram 9 and the press ram 9 is moved back in the direction of the starting position.
  • an outlet slot 30 is machined into it, through which the new wire loop 7 passes when the press ram 9 is withdrawn.
  • the discharge slot 30 is connected to the space 16 and together form a type of T-groove.
  • the outfeed slot should be V-shaped in order to encourage the new wire loop to pass through.
  • the ram 9 is accordingly to the left of the filling opening 13 and the new wire loop 7 is to the right of the opening 13 according to FIG Figures 1 to 2b .
