AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an automated packing station and method for automated loading and wrapping of load carriers that can achieve a high performance of up to 50 load carriers per hour. The invention includes a movable rotational-arm winding device that is positioned outside the action space of the packing robot to avoid colliding with the winding device. The rotational-arm winding device is designed to be close enough to the stack of piece goods to reduce deflections caused by build-up during the wrapping process. The invention also includes a pivotal arm for safely and easily introducing forces encountered during the wrapping process into the frame. The closer the path of the winding head is to the load carrier, the smaller the vibrations will be, which in turn reduces the need for space of the rotational-arm winding device.

Problems solved by technology

The closer the winding is relative to the stack, the smaller the deflections of the winding head are, which are caused by build-up during the wrapping process.

Embodiment Construction

[0041]During the subsequent description of the figures like elements will be designated with like reference numerals. Similar elements are provided with similar reference numerals. Modified features will be referred to explicitly.

[0042]FIG. 1 shows a side view of a first embodiment of a rotational-arm winding device 10 (hereinafter also designated as winding device 10).

[0043]The winding device comprises a (machine) frame 12 having a main mast 14, preferably with one leg, and a foot element 16 forming a standing foot 17 of the frame 12. In the present example of FIG. 1 the foot element 16 is screwed fixedly, for example, to a floor of a hall and comprises a high weight for keeping the center of gravity of the winding device 10 as close as possible to the floor of the hall.

[0044]It is clear that the machine frame 12 can also be mounted to a wall, a ceiling or a working platform, dependent on a customer's desire.

[0045]The winding device 10 further comprises a rotatably-supported pivota...

Abstract

An automated packing station for automated loading of load carriers with piece goods and for automated wrapping a stack with a foil, comprising: a fixedly arranged packing robot; and a rotational-arm winding device arranged adjacent to the packing robot and comprising a frame which is adapted to absorb forces which occur during the wrapping of the stack with the foil, and to forward the forces to an environment of the packing station.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This is a continuation application of the co-pending international patent application WO 2011 / 141556 A2 (PCT / EP2011 / 057713) filed on May 12, 2011 and claiming priority of the German patent application DE 10 2010 020 998.2 filed on May 12, 2010, which are incorporated fully herewith by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to an automated packing station as well as a method for automated loading of load carriers with piece goods forming, in a loaded state of the load carrier, a stack thereon, and for automated wrapping the stack with a foil.RELATED PRIOR ART[0003]Winding devices (wrappers) have been used long since in the field of order picking. Substantially there are three types of winding systems which can be divided roughly into semi-automated and fully-automated systems. Typification happens substantially dependent on performance.[0004]A first type of winding machines can wrap up to 35 load carriers (Euro-pool pallets,...
