Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of machines for wrapping pallets.
  • they are machines that wrap the stored products with a stretch plastic film, generally on pallets, in order to stabilize the contents thereof, facilitating transport and storage.
  • Goods to be stored or transported are generally arranged on pallets.
  • palletizers which perform the function of superimposing product layers on top of one another.
  • a wrapping machine configured for wrapping the entire pallet with a stretch plastic film is generally associated with the palletizer. This ensures greater stability during the subsequent transport and/or storage steps.
  • Semi-automatic machines require the intervention of the operator who generally uses a forklift/forklift truck to place the pallet on the wrapping machine where, using different technologies, rotating pallet or rotating reel, automatic wrapping is performed.
  • a further type of machines are those that can be defined as more flexible and therefore suitable for medium/low rates and for different shapes of pallets.
  • a motorized trucklift is configured for transporting the film reel for wrapping a pallet; said trucklift moves independently, i.e. without operator, and by positioning devices which allow it to rotate around the pallet itself, thereby wrapping it.
  • a further limitation of this application is related to the very low rate which can be handled.
  • the technical problem underlying the present invention is that of providing a device for wrapping products by means of stretch film, which can be installed on a forklift, structurally and functionally designed to overcome one or more of the limits described above with reference to the prior art cited.
  • a main object of the invention is to provide a device for wrapping products by means of stretch film, which can be installed on a forklift, thus enabling the use of means already present at the plants, such as forklifts, to carry out the function of wrappers, involving a minimum investment compared to that necessary for the purchase of traditional machines.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a device for wrapping products, in the context of a simple, rational and rather cost-effective solution.
  • an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for wrapping products by stretch film which can be installed on a forklift, comprising a frame, a reel support and fastening elements configured for removably fixing said frame to the forklift.
  • the reel support in turn comprises at least one roller free to rotate about the axis of symmetry thereof, and configured for removably receiving a reel of stretch film.
  • a device for wrapping products by means of stretch film wherein the frame is configured for being fixed to the forklift by means of magnetic fastening elements.
  • a further aspect of the invention is also that of providing a frame configured for being installed directly on a fork of the forklift by means of a substantially clamp system.
  • the reel is positioned vertically with respect to the forklift walking surface; simultaneously with the movement of the forklift around the pallet, the forks of the forklift itself are progressively raised and in this way the reel is lifted, allowing a full-height wrapping of the pallet to be carried out.
  • the reel may be positioned horizontally, and therefore parallel to the walking surface.
  • said pallet In order to carry out the vertical wrapping of the pallet, said pallet must be kept lifted from the ground during the wrapping operation, preferably by means of a second forklift.
  • the device in fact provides a frame having adjustable width so as to allow installation on forks having different dimensions.
  • a further advantage of this solution is that it allows an easy disassembly and assembly of the wrapping device being preferably installed on a clamp on the vertical part of the fork of the forklift.
  • FIG 1 a partial view of a forklift 10 is shown on which a wrapping device 1 is installed, for winding products 20, by means of stretch film.
  • the products 20 are preferably arranged on a pallet which allows easy handling and storage.
  • the pallet of products 20 is generally moved by means of the forklift 10 by an operator who, as will be clear hereinafter, will be advantageously usable also for the application of the film.
  • the wrapping device 1 allows using the same means used for the handling thereof, that is the forklift 10, to be used for wrapping the product 20.
  • the wrapping device 1 as shown in figure 2 comprising a frame 2 and a reel support 3; the frame 2 is configured for being installed on the forklift 10.
  • the wrapping device comprises fastening elements 50, which will be described in greater detail below, and which allow the device 1 to be fixed to the forklift 10 in a removable manner.
  • the fastening elements 50 and the frame 2 are configured in such a way that the reel support 3 protrudes laterally with respect to the overall size of the forklift 10 when the wrapping device 1 is mounted on the forklift 10.
  • the reel support 3 is mechanically associated with the frame 2 and comprises at least one roller 4 free to rotate about the axis of symmetry thereof.
  • Said roller 4 is configured for receiving a reel 30 of stretch film. Said reel 30 can be replaced by picking up the finished one and inserting a new one on the roller 4 without disassembling the wrapping device 1 from the forklift.
  • the frame 2 is configured for being fixed to the forklift 10 by means of fastening elements 50 of a magnetic type.
  • the magnets may be of different types, such as permanent magnets or electromagnets.
  • the wrapping device 1 may therefore be installed in different positions, provided that it is applied to the metal parts of the forklift which are affected by the magnetic effect.
  • the frame 2 is configured for being installed on a fork 11 of the forklift 10, by means of a substantially clamp-like mechanical fixing and comprises:
  • the fastening elements 50 form part of the same frame 2, being in fact adapted to also define the support structure of the device 1.
  • the uprights 5 are preferably tubular or profiled elements, configured for embracing the fork 11 of the forklift by tightening it to a clamp. It should be noted that this solution allows a fast and simple fixing of the device to the fork of the forklift, thus making assembly and disassembly easy; an extremely strong and secure fixing is also achieved, for use even in cases where a considerable stretch of the stretch film is required for maximum compactness and stability of the pallet.
  • this embodiment also provides an optimal solution to the possibility of easily adapting the device to the different shapes and size of the forklift on which it is mounted.
  • the uprights are configured for embracing the fork 11, preferably in the vertical portion thereof, by contact with the sides 12 and 13 thereof.
  • junction elements 6 are configured for adjusting the distance between the uprights 5, adjusting it to the distance between the sides 12 and 13 of the fork 11.
  • fastening elements 50 may also have a different configuration and it may be provided that the forklift is also specifically adapted to receive the fastening elements 50.
  • connection is implemented through the coupling of male/female elements made on the forklift and on the device.
  • junction elements 6 may also be configured for supporting the reel support 3. Said junction elements 6 may have different dimensions and shapes depending on whether they serve only as a junction of the uprights 5 or also as a support for the reel support 3.
  • a lateral extension is defined with respect to the fastening elements 50 of the device, which allow the reel support 3 to be installed advantageously cantilevered.
  • the uprights 5 provide at least one slot 51 for the height adjustment of the junction elements 6 and consequently for the height adjustment of the reel support 3.
  • slot 51 it is meant an opening/groove which allows sliding and thus adjusting and subsequently locking the position of the junction elements 6 mechanically connected to the uprights 5.
  • the above description has an exemplary and non-limiting value, therefore the elements described may be considered as included both in the solution which provides for the magnetic and for the clamped fastening elements 50.
  • any variants may include different types of fastening elements 50 on the same wrapping device 1, that is, for example, both magnetic and clamp elements; said variants, which are necessary for technical and/or functional reasons, are considered from now on as falling within the same protective scope defined by the following claims.
  • reel support 3 two possible configurations of the reel support 3 are contemplated:
  • the horizontal wrapping of the pallet preferably takes place according to the following operating steps: the operator places the product pallet 20 on the ground or on a suitable support; he then gets off the forklift 10 to take a strip of stretch film from the reel 30 and makes it integral with the product 20, either by using adhesive tape or by binding it to the pallet or in the most suitable manner for the type of product 20 to be treated.
  • the operator rises again on the forklift 10 and guides the forklift according to a rotation path around the product 20 pallet.
  • the reel 30 unwinds and releases the film which gradually wraps the product 20.
  • the operator may lift the forks 11 in such a way as to allow wrapping along the entire height of the pallet or part thereof.
  • this is preferably done with the aid of a second forklift which keeps the product 20 pallet lifted off the ground during wrapping operations.
  • the operator takes a strip of stretch film from the reel 30 and makes it integral with the product 20, either by using adhesive tape or by binding it to the pallet or in the most suitable manner for the type of product 20 to be treated.
  • the wrapping operations are performed by a first forklift 10 on which the wrapping device 1 is installed according to a sequence which preferably provides for moving the forklift 10 sideways to the pallet so that the roller 30 is below the pallet, kept lifted from the ground; once the reel 30 has come out of the pallet, the forks 11 rise up to exceed the height of the pallet, then the forklift 10 moves sideways to the pallet so that the reel 30 moves above the pallet of product 20, to subsequently descend sideways to the pallet, from the side opposite to the one previously wrapped.
  • the cycle described is repeated until the degree of wrapping and therefore of protection required has been achieved.
