Definitions

  • Means is provided to cause the apparatus to position itself for feeding, successively or selectively, lengths of said material about the package, together with means to move the apparatus to a position removed from the package, whereby the package which has been banded may be discharged from the position where it was banded through the space formerly occupied by the band feeding and securing mechanism while it was placing such straps or bands about the package.
  • This invention relates to apparatus for banding packages, bundles, and bales of material. More particularly, our invention relates to the banding of bales of springy, fibrous materials such as cotton or man-made bers while the same are held under compression in a baling press.
  • An object of our invention is to provide apparatus of the character designated in which the band feeding and tying mechanism is mounted for recprocation alongside the ber baling press, preferably on the door side thereof with the door in open position, whereby the package may be banded while being held under compression in the press box, the apparatus then shifted out of the way of the doorway, thus to discharge the bale through the open doorway through the space which the banding apparatus occupied while placing the bands about the package.
  • Another object of our invention is to provide apparatus of the character designated in which means is provided accurately to position the strap or band feeding mechanism relative to the several sets of band guideways, thus assuring accurate feeding of the strap or banding material through the guideways, permitting the placement of a plurality of bands or straps at spaced positions along the package.
  • a further object of our invention is to provide apparatus of the character designated in which a package may be strapped with a plurality of straps, bands, wires, or the like and in which the total number of sets of guideways for such strapping material exceeds the number of band feeding mechanisms by at least one, namely, apparatus which, by way of example, may embody a plurality of sets of guides, spaced along the bale, whereby a single band feeding mechanism may be shifted to pass banding material selectively or successively through said guides.
  • FIG. l is a front elevational view illustrating the band feeding and securing apparatus in the inoperative or removed position, with a bale of compressed bers in the press box and with the door open, preparatory to beginning the banding operation;
  • FIG. 2 is a plan view of the apparatus as shown in FIG. l;
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged detail fragmental sectional view taken generally along line III--III of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is an enlarged detail fragmental view taken generally along line IV-IV of FIG. 3 and illustrating a portion of the positioning and centering means for the traveling band feeding and securing apparatus;
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged detailed plan view showing a fragment of the slotted positioning bar and follower centering device, the latter being carried by the band feeding apparatus;
  • FIG. 6 is an enlarged detailed fragmental view through a portion of one of the band feeding guides taken generally along line VI-VI of FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 7 is a wholly diagrammatic wiring diagram.
  • the press box has the upper portion or beam 10, back wall 11, and a door 12 which may be pivoted at 13 to a central, supporting column 14.
  • a platen 16 mounted on a vertically reciprocal ram 17 is adapted to enter the press box, in the instance shown, from the bottom, whereby a mass of liber enclosed in a wrapper such as a kraftboard container may be compressed between the beam 10 and the platen 16.
  • our invention is equally adapted for association with a down packing press.
  • the bale is indicated by the numeral 18.
  • the loose material to form the bale 18 is fed into a charging chamber 19 located beneath the press box, while the platen 16 is in lowered position, whereby upon raising the platen the bale 18 is formed as illustrated particularly in FIG. 3 of the drawings.
  • the number of such bands may vary depending upon several factors such, for instance, as the size of the bale, the compression of the bale, and so forth.
  • a travelling strap feeding and band securing apparatus which is mounted for reciprocation alongside the press and which is indicated somewhat diagrammatically in the drawings by the numeral 21.
  • a track in the form of an elongated bar 22 we mount a track in the form of an elongated bar 22.
  • a plurality of supporting and driving rollers 23 support the apparatus 21. Rollers 23 are anged and ride on the track 22.
  • the lower end of the entire apparatus 21 may be supported by an idler roller 24 which simply runs against the side of the charging chamber 19 as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the entire apparatus 21, which may embody more or less conventional strap Ifeeding and securing means, may be reciprocated along the bale by means of a reversible electric motor 26 which drives the supporting and driving rollers 23 through a chain drive mechanism 27.
  • the bands are fed around the package by the apparatus 21 and securing clips 28 are fed to the apparatus from a roll 29 thereof.
  • the strapping itself may be fed to the apparatus through a guide tube 31 erally by the numeral 32.
  • These guideways have upper sections 32a, rear vertical sections 32b and separate, movable sections 32C.
  • the sections 32a and 32b are mounted stationary to the press box while the sections 32C are mounted on the platen and are carried thereby.
  • section 32 is aligned with the lower curved end of a coacting section 32b.
  • the guideways 32 are channel shaped with the open side facing the side of the bale to be secured.
  • a pair of pivoted closure members or doors extending along a portion of the length of the openV side of the section 32b of the guide. The purpose of this construction will be explained later.
  • the apparatus 21 On the apparatus 21 are upper and lower band guides 34 and 36. When in position relative to the guideways 32, the lbanding may be fed through the upper guide 34, thereby to completely encircle the package, into guide 36, and into a severing, end securing and fastening section of the apparatus 21 which is illustrated diagramatically at 37.
  • a horizontally disposed bar or positioning member 38 In order to be sure that thel guide sections 34 and 36 always accurately align with the section 32a and 32C, we provide on the beam a horizontally disposed bar or positioning member 38.
  • the bar 38 on its outer edge, we provide a plurality of generally V-shaped notches 39a, 39b, 39C, etc. one notch for each band to be passed about the bale.
  • Each of the notches 39a, 39b, etc. is positionally related to the guides 32 so that by the means presently to be described the apparatus 21 is positively and accurately positioned to feed banding material through the guide system.
  • Another notch 41 to the left of the apparatus as viewed in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 is provided to position and stop the apparatus 21 in the idle or removed position.
  • a fluid pressure cylinder 42 having a piston rod 43.
  • the rod 43 carries a roller 44 on its outer end and this roller is adapted, as will be explained, to enter the several V-shaped notches, thereby to position the apparatus 21 in proper relation to the guides for band feeding.
  • the radius of the roller 44 is slightly larger than the radii of the bottom of the V-shaped notches. This assures accurate centering because the roller 44 never precisely Ibottoms in the notches.
  • FIG. 7 of the drawings the wiring diagram, we have illustrated a circuit, greatly simplified, and which permits semiautomatic operation of our improved apparatus. It will be understood that in actual practice, through circuitry which as such forms no part of our invention the apparatus can be made automatically to proceed from one strapping position to another, or selectively to positions as desired.
  • switches indicated respectively as LS1, LS2, LS3, and so on are physically located so that when an operator ⁇ 46, carried by the apparatus 21, engages the switches the shifting movement of the apparatus 21 will be halted and the rod 43 carrying the roller 44 will enter the appropriate notch, corresponding to the switch in question.
  • the press door 12 may be opened, to eject the bale.
  • the press door 12 When power is applied to the power supply lines L1, L2, cylinder 42 of the thruster is energized, causing its plunger to move toward the notch bar 38 thus to hold the roller 44 engaged in the notch 41, indexing the strapper head in bale discharge position.
  • control relay CR1 By depressing push button number 1, FIG. 7, control relay CR1 is energized and this relay locks itself in through its own contacts as illustrated and through station limit switch LS1.
  • This action also deenergizes the thruster cylinder 42 by opening a normally closed relay contact CR-la, thus withdrawing the rod 43 and roller 44 from notch 41.
  • the energization of CR1 also energizes the forward travel section of the reversible power motor means 26. This causes the strapping unit 21 to move toward the 39 series notches until its actuating cam 46 actuates limit switch LS1.
  • This actuation deenergizes the control relay CRI which in turn stops the forward power means and at the same time energizes the thruster cylinder 42.
  • Energization of the thruster cylinder 42 causes its rod 43 to extend toward the notch bar so that the roller 44 engages slot 39, thereby to align the strapper unit with the number 1 set of strapping material guideways in the baling chamber.
  • additional push buttons are manually actuated. For instance, by depressing push button number 2, thereby to energize and lock in the control relay CRZ, such action would deenergize the thruster cylinder 42, permitting it to withdraw the roller 44 from notch 39, energize the forward travel power means 26, and thereby move the strapper unit until the cam member 46 engages limit switch number 2. This would again deenergize the control relay CR2, cause the thruster to bottom the roller 44 in the notch 39a, and allowing another strap to be placed about the package. This sequence is continued until a desired number and positioning of the respective straps around the package is obtained.
  • control relay CRO which locks itself in and also deenergizes the thruster and energizes the return travel section of the reversible power means, that is, the reverse mechanism of motor 26 or similar drive means.
  • the strapper unit 21 then returns to the at rest position where limit switch LS() is actuated, deenergizing control relay CRO, thereby removing power from the return travel power means and restores power to the thruster allowing it to engage the roller 44 in notch 41. This completes one cycle of the semi-automatic strapping operation.
  • the straps when the straps are placed about the packages or bales through the guideways 32, the strap must be drawn from the guides, up against the rear side of the package.
  • the pivoted sections 33 of the guides permit the strap to be pulled outwardly, that is, forwardly, as viewed in FIG. 3, thus to lie against the rear side or surface of the package or bale.
  • the ram When the bale is formed the ram is lowered and, by any suitable means the bale is ejected through the open door of the press where it may be carried away on rollers or the like 47.
  • (d) means to shift the banding apparatus from one set of guideways to the other thereof, whereby a plurality of spaced apart bands may be passed through said guideways and thus around said package.
  • (c) means to move said band feeding and securing apparatus from one set of guideways to the other.
  • a traveling band feeding and securing apparatus disposed successively to feed through said guideways an appropriate length of banding material and secure it, whereby the package may have placed thereabout at least two securing bands.
  • said traveling strap feeding and securing apparatus being movable to a position completely out of alignment with the face of the package across which it travels so that the package may be removed from the apparatus in a direction perpendicular to said face of the bale which has just been banded.
