Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a tag for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes.
- The object of the present invention finds particular employment in all processes for tracking metal products obtained from one or more iron and steel processes.
- As is well known from the Italian patent number
1423233 - In detail, each of the tags provided comprises a metal plate-like structure that has a reading surface which bears one or more visual and/or graphic codes, readable by using corresponding electronic reading equipment.
- Each tag is also provided with at least one through hole having a circular and regular profile. The through hole is configured to receive in engagement a respective nail that is welded, on one side, on at least one of the metal products that comprise the respective bundle of products to be tracked. At the opposite side, the nail has a wider head than the through hole so that the tag cannot slip out of the hole and thus remains engaged to the respective bundle of metal products.
- Alternatively to the hole described above, the following are also known:
- wire-like elements, each having a first end weldable to one of the metal products to be tracked and a second looped end that engages the through-opening of the respective tag;
- clips, each engaging the through-opening of the respective tag and able to be fitted on at least one of the products to be tracked or on a respective support element associated therewith.
- Although the technique used to apply the tags to the metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes allows for a satisfactory identification of the iron and steel metal products, the Applicant has noted that it is not, however, free of some drawbacks and it can be improved in different aspects, mainly in relation to the practicality and the speed of the tag affixing operations, as well as to the simplicity in the execution of the manipulation and welding operations thereof by means of robots and/or automated mechanical arms.
- In detail, the Applicant has observed that use of the support elements described above such as nails, wire-like elements and/or clips, requires a double manipulation operation.
- In particular, both the tag and the support element must be manipulated simultaneously, manually or automatically by means of a robot, to couple them and apply them, by welding or other fastening systems, on the respective product to be tracked.
- Consequently, the operations of manipulation and application of the tags are complicated and particularly long.
- The main purpose of the present invention is to propose a tag for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes, able to solve the problems observed in the prior art.
- A purpose of the present invention is to simplify and facilitate the operations of manipulation of the tags and of the respective support elements thereof.
- An additional purpose of the present invention is to simplify, facilitate and speed up the operations of fastening the tags to the respective metal products to be tracked.
- A purpose of the present invention is also to facilitate the handling of the tags to be welded by robots and/or automated mechanical arms.
- The purposes specified above and others besides are substantially achieved by a tag for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes, as expressed and described in the following claims.
- By way of example, provided below is the description of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of a label for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes, according to the present invention.
- The description will be made herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings, provided solely for indicative purposes only and therefore nonlimiting, wherein:
-
figure 1 is a plan view of a tag for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes, in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention; -
figure 2 is a plan view of a tag for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes, in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention; -
figure 3 is a perspective view of a junction element of the tag offigures 1 and 2 ; -
figure 4 is a section of the coupling of the tag offigures 1 and 2 with the junction element offigure 3 , obtained along the line IV-IV offigures 1 and 2 ; -
figure 5 is an additional section of the coupling of the tag offigures 1 and 2 with the junction element offigure 3 , obtained along the line V-V offigures 1 and 2 . - With reference to
figures 1 and 2 , thenumeral 1 designates in its entirety a tag for bundles of metal products obtained from respective iron and steel processes, in accordance with the present invention. - As shown in
figures 1 and 2 , thetag 1 comprises at least a plate-like structure 2 made of a metal material. - The plate-
like structure 2 has at least onereading surface 3 provided to support at least anidentification code 4, preferably of a graphic type such as for example abarcode 4a, aQR code 4b and/or other codes, relating to at least a piece of information or one datum concerning a respective bundle of metal products (not shown because they are known) obtained by at least an iron and steel process. - Alternatively or in addition to the
graphic identification code 4, it is possible to provide also an identification code (not shown in the figures) consisting of notches, slits, holes or similar structural variations of the plate-like structure 2 of thetag 1. - Also with reference to
figures 1 and 2 , the plate-like structure 2 of thetag 1 has at least one through-opening 5 with a ragged profile. - In detail, the through-opening 5 of the plate-
like structure 2 has aprofile 6 provided with at least oneinterference protrusion 7 so that the through-opening 5 is narrower at theinterference protrusion 7. - More in detail, the through-opening 5 of the plate-
like structure 2 has a plurality ofinterference protrusions 7 that extend radially towards the centre of the through opening, defining a plurality ofconcavities 8 positioned between the protrusions. - As shown in
figures 3 through 5 , thetag 1 is provided with at least ajunction element 9 engageable to the plate-like structure 2 so that they are integrally translatable and rotatable. - The
junction element 9 has a grippingportion 10 that protrudes from thereading surface 3 of the plate-like structure 2 and is adapted to be gripped by a gripping head (not shown) of a robot or an automated mechanical arm (not shown). - The
junction element 9 also has a fixingportion 11, opposite the grippingportion 10, which protrudes from asurface 12 of the plate-like structure 2 opposite thereading surface 3. - The fixing
portion 11 of thejunction element 9 can be fixed to a respective bundle of metal products, preferably by means of at least a welding operation. - As shown in
figures 4 and5 , thejunction element 9 can be inserted by interference into the through-opening 5 of the plate-like structure 2 on the side of thereading surface 3 thereof, so that thejunction element 9 and the plate-like structure 2 remain joined, even during their movement. - When the
junction element 9 is inserted by interference in the through-opening 5 of the plate-like structure 2 on the side of thereading surface 3 of the latter, theinterference protrusions 7 bend on a side opposite thereading surface 3 of the plate-like structure 2 clamping thejunction element 9 in the through-opening 5. - As shown in
figures 4 and5 , thejunction element 5 engages the through-opening 5 by means of the fixingportion 11, which has a substantially prism-like configuration, having a profile, in cross section, which is substantially polygonal. - In detail, the fixing
portion 11 of thejunction element 9 has a substantially prism-like configuration, having a profile, in cross-section, which is substantially square. - To facilitate the insertion of the
junction element 9 in the through-opening 5 of the plate-like structure 2 of thetag 1, the fixingportion 11 of thejunction element 9 is at least partly tapered having a reducedsection 13 with respect to the rest of the body. - As shown in the figures from 3 to 5, the gripping
portion 10 of thejunction element 9 has a substantially cylindrical configuration, having a profile, in cross-section which is substantially circular. - In detail, the gripping
portion 10 of thejunction element 9 has at least onecircular groove 14 or acircular relief 15 for facilitating the gripping of thejunction element 9 by the gripping head of the robot or of the automated mechanical arm tasked with moving thetags 1. - Also with reference to the figures from 3 to 5, the
junction element 9 comprises at least oneabutment portion 16 interposed between the grippingportion 10 and the fixingportion 11. When thejunction element 9 is inserted in the through-opening 5 of the plate-like structure 2 of thetag 1, theabutment portion 16 abuts against thereading surface 3 of the plate-like structure 2. - Advantageously, the
junction element 9 is made of a metal material so as to allow the creation of an electric arc between it and the metal product to be tracked and to allow the welding and the fixing of therespective tag 1. - Preferably, the
junction element 9 is obtained from a metal material, still more preferably an iron and steel metal, for example a brass or tin based alloy. - Advantageously, the
junction element 9 is obtained from a metal material having a melting point between 300°C and 1100°C at atmospheric pressure, preferably not greater than 900°C, whereby during a suitable heating step, carried out by means of a furnace or an appropriate burner, thejunction element 9 melts allowing to remove thetag 1 from the respective bundle of metal products. - The tag described above solves the problems observed in the prior art and achieves important advantages.
- First of all, the label thus conceived and configured allows a simple, easy and rapid coupling of the junction element that is inserted in the through-opening of the respective plate-like structure locking therein by interference. Once the junction element is inserted in the through-opening of the respective tag, any movement of the junction element carried out by the gripping head of the respective robot or of the respective automated mechanical arm determines the consequent integral movement of the plate-like structure of the label.
- Consequently, it is no longer necessary to manipulate the plate-like structure of the tag simultaneously with other support elements because the junction element is moved integrally with the tag itself by the respective robot or by the respective automated mechanical arm.
- The coupling between the junction element and the tag considerably facilitates and simplifies the welding operation that is carried out rapidly bringing the tag at the bundle of metal products to be tracked until the formation of the electric arc between it and the fixing portion of the respective junction element.
