Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for strapping packaged goods with at least one strapping band, comprising a band guide means for guiding the strapping band, a conveyor device for extending and retracting the band guiding means, a guide carriage which, together with the band guiding means, has a target extension length up to a deflection point can be extended, a length limiting band connected to the guide carriage and extendable with the guide carriage, and an adjusting device to adjust the target extension length of the guide carriage to the deflection point, the guide carriage having a deflection unit which is able to deflect the tape guide means at the deflection point.
  • the invention also relates to a method for wrapping packaged goods with at least one strapping band, after which the strapping band is fixed to a band guide means, after which the band guide means is extended by a conveyor, after which a guide carriage connected to the band guide means releasably together with the band guide means up to a deflection point is extended, after which a fixed to the guide carriage length limiting tape is pulled out with the guide carriage, after which the target extension length of the guide carriage is set to the deflection point by adjusting the extendable length of the length limiting tape.
  • Packaged goods in particular objects to be transported or stored, for example in the form of packages, are generally fastened to pallets with a packaging tape, which is hereinafter referred to as strapping, to ensure safe and damage-free transport or appropriate storage of the objects.

  • the Schlit th leads the rigid back chain and the attached strapping along the floor under the pallet.
  • the carriage can compensate for minor unevenness in the ground, such as the crossbars of the pallets.
  • the carriage is designed to be detachable from the rigid-backed chain and, together with the chain, covers a distance along the floor that is predetermined by a length limiting band.

  • the rigid-backed chain is preferably deflected by about 90 degrees by the deflection unit of the carriage and in this way moved approximately vertically upwards.
  • Overturning of the tape guide, which is designed as a chain is prevented by the fact that the chain is designed as a rigid-backed chain and could therefore only tilt in the direction of the object to be packaged. Tilting in the direction of the item to be packaged is prevented in that the strapping band is arranged within the chain in such a way that it keeps the rigid-backed chain under tension during the extension movement.
  • This tension is only released by a brief interruption of the extension movement and the rigid back chain tilts as desired due to its own weight on the object to be packaged and, after continuing the extension movement, it can now move in an approximately horizontal path on the top of the object to be packaged in the direction fed to the user who.

This is generally chosen such that the guide carriage can be passed under the packaged goods and the guide carriage extends again under the pallet on the side facing away from the entry side.
  • the tape guide means is then deflected by the deflection unit, in particular aligned vertically upwards to the floor.
