Description

[0001] The invention relates to a strapping device for strapping packages, comprising a packing table on which the package passes through the strapping device along a path of movement over motor-driven rollers or cylinders, a strapping frame arranged transversely to the path of movement of the package on the packing table and defining a strapping area on the packing table which the package passes through as it moves along the path of movement, a rotary device in the packing table with which the package can be rotated by 90° between a first strapping position and a second strapping position, and which is designed as a rotatably mounted circular area of ​​the packing table, a strapping channel formed by the strapping frame and having at least one channel leg arranged in the packing table and extending between a first and a second edge of the packing table, and closure flaps.The channel opening of the channel leg arranged in the packing table, which points towards the inside of the frame, can be closed and opened to allow the strapping material to be pulled out of the strapping material channel.

[0002] Strapping machines of this type are well known from the prior art. They serve to strap packages or to form bundles from individual goods. Large-frame strapping machines, which are the primary focus of the invention, also secure packages to a pallet on a load carrier by strapping them.

[0003] For example, the KR1020130053074A shows such a strapping machine, which can cross-strap roll-shaped goods on pallets. The machine uses bayonet fittings to guide the first strap around the pallet frame. For strapping around the pallet feet, the machine's turntable has a strap channel in a second position.

[0004] The JPS60-13888B2 shows a strapping and wrapping machine that also allows for cross-strapping of goods stored on a pallet before the pallet is wrapped in film. The device uses a turntable on which the pallet is positioned and rotated 90° for strapping. However, an automated feed via rollers is not disclosed here. The publication refers to the JPS51-39600B2, which describes further details regarding strapping.

[0005] The JPH05-24004B2 also shows a strapping machine for cross-strapping packages. However, this machine is designed so that cross-strapping can take place in both directions simultaneously.

[0006] From the prior art, which is not documented in printed form, a strapping device is known in which the strapping channel has a channel leg located in the packing table itself. It is arranged in a space between rollers located in the packing table, on which the package is moved by the device. For this purpose, the axis of rotation of the rollers is arranged transversely to the direction in which the package passes through the device.

[0007] To perform cross-strapping, a lifting and rotating device is used. This consists of a frame located within the strapping area and positioned on the packing table. To rotate a package 90° relative to its strapping orientation and enable cross-strapping, the frame, with the package on it, is lifted after the first strapping operation, rotated 90°, and lowered. A second strapping operation can then be performed. To then convey the package out of the strapping device in the correct orientation, it is lifted again, rotated 90°, and lowered.

[0008] The channel leg embedded in the package is interrupted at the intersections with the frame of the rotating device. In its resting position, the frame itself is either located below the channel floor or incorporates a channel-like cutout, allowing the strapping band to run unimpeded along the packing table beneath the package when the frame is in its resting position.

[0009] US Patent 5,400,706A discloses a device which, instead of a channel leg located in the package, has a bayonet fitting that can be inserted above the packing table. This bayonet fitting incorporates the channel leg of the strapping channel closest to the packing table and enables, for example, strapping in a space between the skids of a pallet.

[0010] US 5,400,706A discloses a rotating device in the form of a turntable which is part of the packing table and can be rotated 90° with the package on it without prior lifting to enable cross-strapping.

[0011] The device, which is not known in printed form, has the significant disadvantage that, due to the raising and lowering of the frame of the rotating device for cross-strapping, a considerable amount of time is required.

[0012] The object of the invention is to create a strapping device equipped with a strapping channel in the packing table, in which the process of cross-strapping can be significantly accelerated.

[0013] The problem of the invention is solved by a device with the features of claim 1, in particular its characterizing features, according to which the at least one channel leg arranged in the packing table is formed by a first, positionally fixed leg section extending between the first edge of the packing table and the rotary device and forming an outlet in the transition area to the rotary device, which forms at least one channel leg arranged in the packing table by a second, positionally fixed leg section extending from the transition area to the rotary device to the second edge of the packing table and forming an outlet in the transition area to the rotary device, which forms at least one channel leg arranged in the packing table by at least one third leg section bound to the rotary device.which, in the first strapping position of the rotary device, extends from the outlet of the first leg section to the outlet of the second leg section, the third leg section, which is bound to the rotary device, forms an inlet for the strapping material at each of its ends near the outlets of the first and second leg sections, the fourth leg section, which is bound to the rotary device, forms at least one channel leg arranged in the packing table, and which extends from the outlet of the first fixed leg section to the outlet of the second fixed leg section in the second strapping position of the rotary device, and the fourth leg section, which is bound to the rotary device, forms an inlet for the strapping material at each of its ends near the outlets of the first and second leg sections.wherein the rotary device arranged in the packing table rotates the package only by means of a rotational movement in its plane of arrangement.

[0014] According to the invention, the channel leg arranged in the packing table is formed in at least three parts. In the stationary, immovable area of ​​the packing table, i.e., in the area outside the rotary device, there is one positionally fixed leg section. A third leg section is part of the rotary device and is arranged in the packing table area formed by the rotary device. It lies between the positionally fixed leg sections and, together with them, forms the channel leg in a first position of the rotary device.

[0015] The three-part channel leg located in the packing table allows for a rotating device with a large contact area for a package, extending even beyond the channel leg within the packing table. Since the third channel leg is linked to the rotating device and changes its position when the rotating device moves, the channel leg on the packing table side of the strapping channel does not impede package rotation for cross-strapping.

[0016] According to the invention, a device is provided in which a fourth leg section, bound to the direction of rotation, is provided to form the channel leg arranged in the packing table. This leg section can be aligned with the first and second leg sections of the packing table, which are fixed in position, as an alternative to the third leg section. Ideally, the third leg section, bound to the rotary device, is aligned with the fixed leg sections of the packing table in a first rotary device position, and the fourth leg section, bound to the rotary device, is aligned with the fixed leg sections in a second position of the rotary device, preferably rotated by 90°.

[0017] By arranging a further, fourth leg section in the packing table, the packing table-bound channel leg can be formed in two possible positions of the rotating device, so that strapping in both rotating device positions and thus cross-strapping of a package located on the rotating device is possible.

[0018] Since the device according to the invention eliminates the need for lifting and lowering and achieves the direction of rotation solely through a rotational movement in its plane of arrangement, i.e., in the packing table plane, in order to rotate the package located on the rotating device by approximately 90° for cross-strapping, the time required for lifting and lowering the package is eliminated. In this way, cross-strapping can be significantly accelerated compared to the prior art, which is not documented in the printed material.

[0019] The third and fourth leg sections are designed to intersect in the area of ​​the rotating mechanism. The respective inlets of the third and fourth leg sections are located in a common plane, corresponding to the plane of the outlets of the first and second leg sections. This ensures that the strapping band can transition from the fixed leg sections to the rotatable leg section, which is aligned with the fixed leg sections, during each strapping operation, thus forming a continuous, packing table-bound channel leg.

[0020] To avoid a collision between the intersecting third and fourth leg sections, the fourth leg section is designed to rise from one of its inlets into a plane above the third leg section in order to span the third leg section in the intersection area and then descend to the other of its inlets.

[0021] The fourth leg segment is thus guided over the third leg segment in a quasi-bridge-like manner, which enables collision-free ligament guidance in both the third and fourth leg segments.

[0022] In order to ensure that the strapping can be pulled out of the channel leg located in the packing table, particularly in the intersection area of ​​the third and fourth leg sections, it is provided that the fourth leg section is interrupted in the intersection area with the third leg section, so that the strapping material can be pulled out of the third leg section towards the inside of the frame if necessary.

[0023] The respective corresponding end sections of the interrupted third leg section can be widened in a funnel shape to ensure the exit and, in particular, the re-entry of the strapping band into the third leg section.

[0024] Further features of the invention and its advantages are described in the following description of an exemplary embodiment. The illustrations show: Fig. 1 a perspective overall view of the strapping device according to the invention with rotating device in first position, Fig. 2 the strapping device according to Fig. 1 with rotating device in second position, Fig. 3 a view of the strapping device according to Fig. 1 from the top, Fig. 4 a close-up of the view according to Fig. 3 on the packing table, Fig. 5 a section enlargement according to section circle V in Fig. 4, Fig. 6 a vertical section through the in Fig. 5 shown packing table section, Fig. 7 a view of the rotating device of the apparatus according to Fig. 1 from the top, Fig. 8 a view of the rotary device according to Fig. 7 from the bottom, Fig. 9 a perspective view of the underside of the rotary device according to Fig. 7, Fig. 10 a section enlargement according to section circle X in Fig. 4, Fig. 11 a sectional view according to section line XI-XI in Fig. 10, Fig. 12 a section view according to section line XII-XII in Fig. 10, Fig. 13 a representation according to Fig. 10 without intersection lines, Fig. 14 a perspective view of the top of the rotating device of the strapping device according to Fig. 1, Fig. 15 a section enlargement according to section circle XV in Fig. 14, Fig. 16 another perspective view of the rotating device of the strapping device according to Fig. 1 in perspective, Fig. 17 a section enlargement according to section circle XVII in Fig. 16.

[0025] The figures show a strapping device for strapping packages, in particular designated by reference numeral 10.

[0026] In the Fig. 1 and Fig. Figure 2 shows the strapping device 10 in its entirety. It comprises a packing table 11, which is equipped with rollers 12, on which a package (not shown) is moved by the device.

[0027] In the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. The packing table 11 has a central rotary device 300, which, as part of the packing table 11, is also equipped with rollers 12 / 312 and is located between two stationary packing table sections 13. The stationary packing table sections 13 are shown in a simplified manner for clarity. In a preferred embodiment, they are equipped with rollers 12 over their entire surface area. However, this is only indicated here by showing some of the rollers 12 for clarity.

[0028] The strapping device 10 has a press plate 14 which can be moved up and down by vertical posts arranged to the side of the packing table 11 (not shown for clarity) in order to compress the goods to be strapped, such as corrugated cardboard, during the strapping process.

[0029] The strapping device 10 further comprises a strapping frame formed by the pressure plate 14, the vertical posts (not shown), and the packing table 11, and includes at least one, but in the exemplary embodiment three, strapping channels 15. Each strapping channel 15 runs along the pressure plate 14, the vertical posts, and the packing table 11 and thus has one horizontal channel leg 16 arranged in the pressure plate 14 and in the packing table 11, and one vertically oriented channel leg 17 arranged on each of the vertical posts (not shown).

[0030] A strap feed device 18 is arranged laterally to the strapping frame and has two feed bars 19, via which strapping band B, stored on a reel 20, is fed to an insertion and sealing device 21 in the press plate 14. Each insertion and sealing device 21 inserts the strapping band into the strapping channel 15, so that it is guided along the strapping frame around the package (not shown), located below the press plate 14, and back to the insertion and sealing device 21.

[0031] When retracting the band B, the band B is pulled out of the channel legs 16 / 17 and stretched around the package not shown.

[0032] The in the Fig. 1 and Fig. The strapping device shown in section 2 can perform a so-called cross-strapping operation due to the rotating device 300. For this purpose, the package is aligned with the rotating device 300 according to... Fig. 1 with roller axes arranged transversely to the through-movement of the package, guided into a strapping area below the press plate 14. First strapping then takes place. Subsequently, the rotating device is turned 90° into the position shown. Fig. 2. The axes of the rollers 312 are now aligned parallel to the direction in which the package passes through the strapping device 10. A second strapping is now carried out, which is offset by 90° to the first strapping. Subsequently, the rotating device 300 is moved back by 90° in a manner not shown, so that it returns to its initial position according to Fig. 1. The package then leaves the strapping level and device 10.

[0033] Fig. Figure 3 shows the strapping device 10 according to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 in top view, Fig. Figure 4 shows a top view of the packing table 11, omitting all components of the press plate 14 located above the packing table 11. A significant advantage of the invention is the Fig. The rotary device 300 is shown in Figures 1 to 4 and described in more detail later. Although the strapping device 10 has horizontal channel legs 16 in the plane of the packing table, as mentioned above, the rotary device 300 is only moved about its axis of rotation in its plane of arrangement within the packing table 11. It therefore does not leave the plane of the packing table.

[0034] Following the general introduction to the strapping device 10 according to the invention, based on the Fig. Steps 1 to 3 will now describe the assembly of the packing table and the rotating device using the Fig. 4 to 17 are displayed.

[0035] Fig. Figure 4 shows a top view of the packing table 11 of the strapping device 10. This is divided into a right-hand and a left-hand, each stationary packing table section 13, which is equipped with rollers 12, of which in Fig. 4. Only a few are shown to provide a better overview.

[0036] Between the stationary packing table sections 13 is the rotary device 300 according to the invention, which can be rotated in the packing table plane by at least 90° clockwise and counterclockwise.

[0037] In the packing table 11, in the exemplary embodiment four, but according to the invention at least one horizontal channel leg 16 are arranged, along which the strapping band B is guided through the first stationary packing table section 13 into the rotary device 300 and further to the second stationary packing table section 13 in the strapping center frame.

[0038] Each channel leg 16 in the packing table 11 is divided into two fixed leg sections 22, each arranged in one of the stationary packing table sections 13, and rotary-bound leg sections 400 and 500. The rotary-bound leg sections 400 are arranged parallel to the roller axis of the rollers 312 of the rotary device 300, while the leg sections 500 are arranged transversely to the roller axis of the rollers 312 of the rotary device 300. The rotary-bound leg sections 400 and 500 can be alternately aligned between the fixed leg sections 22 of the stationary packing table sections 13, depending on the rotational position of the rotary device 300. Consequently, a continuous channel leg 16 is present in the packing table 11 in the respective rotational position of the rotary device 300.

[0039] Fig. Figure 13 shows the rotary device 300 without the packing table 11 and only partially shown rollers 312.

[0040] Fig. Figure 7 shows that the intersecting, rotary-device-bound leg sections 400 and 500 divide the contact surface of the rotary device 300 for a package into individual fields in which the rollers 312 are seated. A rotary ring 314 arranged below the package contact surface (see also Fig. 8 and Fig. 9) is connected to the drive pulleys 316 and a drive motor 313 via a drive belt 315. The drive belt can be a toothed belt or a chain. By means of the drive belt 315, the drive motor 313 can rotate the rotary device 300 about its axis of rotation (not shown) by at least 90° counterclockwise and clockwise via the slewing ring 314.

[0041] How in particular the Fig. 8 and Fig. As shown in Figure 9, a roller motor 317 is arranged on the underside of the rotary device 300 within the slewing ring 314. This motor drives a drive shaft 318, by means of which, via a system of follower shafts 319, the rollers 312, grouped into individual sections by the intersecting leg sections 400 and 500, can be driven. For this purpose, the drive shaft 318 and the follower shaft 319 carry gears 320, which transmit their rotational motion to roller gears 321 and thus ultimately to the rollers 312 by means of chains (not shown) (see also Fig. 13).

[0042] The solution of the invention, to realize intersecting, rotation-direction-dependent leg sections 400 and 500 in the area of ​​the rotating device in such a way that the insertion and also the withdrawal of the strapping band from the leg sections 400, 500 is possible without interference, is now described below: Each fixed leg section 22 in the immobile packing table section 13 has an outlet 23 pointing towards the rotary device 300 (see Fig. 4) These outlets 23 are all located on a common plane.

[0043] The Fig. 14 and Fig. Figure 15 now shows the rotary device 300 without further packing table components or a section enlargement according to section circle XV in Fig. 14. The circumferential ring 330, which delimits the rotary device 300, has a recess 331 in the region of each end of a leg section 400, 500, through which the respective leg end of the leg sections 400, 500 is accessible. The ends of the leg sections 400, 500 bound to the rotary device, accessible via the recesses 331 of the circumferential ring 330 of the rotary device 300, form inlets 410, 510. The inlets 410, 510 also all lie in a common plane (not shown). The plane of the inlets 410, 510 is identical to the plane of the outlets 23 of the fixed leg sections 22.

[0044] It is therefore possible to guide the strapping band B from an outlet 23 through the recess 331 of the circumferential ring 330 of the rotary device 300 to an inlet 410, 510. On its way through the strapping channel 15 in the area of ​​the packing table 11 or its channel leg 16, the strapping band B can first pass through the fixed leg section 22 and then – depending on the orientation of the rotary device 300 – via an inlet 410 or 510 through the respective direction-dependent leg section 400 or 500, and then into the second fixed leg section 22. Thus, a continuous channel leg 16 is present in the packing table in every position of the rotary device 300.

[0045] Fig. Figure 5 shows a section magnification according to section circle V in Fig. 4. In this figure, the transition area between a stationary packing table section 13 and the rotary device 300 is shown enlarged once again. The outlets 23 of the fixed leg sections 22 of each channel leg 16 are arranged opposite the inlets 410 of the leg sections 400, which are aligned with the leg sections 22 in this figure.

[0046] Fig. Figure 6 shows a vertical section according to section line VI-VI in Fig. 5 through the rotation-directed leg section 400. This illustration shows once again that the outlets 23 are located in the same plane as the inlets 410.

[0047] Fig. Figure 10 shows a close-up of the rotary device according to the cutout circle X in Fig. 4. Between the rollers 312 there, the leg sections 400 and 500 are arranged.

[0048] Fig. Figure 11 shows a section view according to section line XI-XI in Fig. 10, Fig. Figure 12 shows a section view according to section line XII-XII in Fig. 10. First, from Fig. 11 clearly shows that the roller axis-parallel leg section 400 is located in one and the same plane over its entire longitudinal extent through the rotary device 300, namely in the plane of the inlets 410, 510 and the outlets 23. This is also shown by Fig. 6. Furthermore, the rotation-direction-dependent leg section 400, i.e., the leg section 400 parallel to the roller axis, preferably passes through the rotary device 300 in one piece. It is not divided into individual segments.

[0049] As from Fig. 10 and Fig. As can be seen in Figure 12, the second leg section 500 of the rotary device 300, which is oriented orthogonally to the roller axes, has a different construction. It is subdivided into individual leg segments 511, which are separated from each other in the area K where leg sections 400 and 500 intersect. Between the individual leg segments 511, there is a distance in the direction of belt travel of approximately one belt width in the area K. Fig. Figure 12 further shows that the leg sections 500 are arranged in a plane above the leg sections 400. The leg segment 511' near the inlet rises from the common plane of the inlets 410 / 510 and 23 to the arrangement plane of leg section 500. Thus, when appropriately aligned with the respective outlet 23, the leg segment 511' near the inlet transfers the incoming flow from the common arrangement plane of the outlets 23 and inlets 410 / 510 to the arrangement plane of leg section 500. The leg section 500, with its leg segments 511, therefore spans the rotationally oriented leg sections 400 in an approximately bridge-like manner.

[0050] Based on the Fig. 16 and Fig. Figure 17 shows the strap pull-out from leg section 400 at an intersection K with leg section 500. As also visible in the other figures, although not labeled there, leg sections 400 have strap channel flaps 420. Similarly, leg sections 500 and their leg segments 511 also have strap channel flaps 520. When closed, the respective strap channel flaps close the strapping channel and the respective leg sections 400, 500, and segments 511 towards the interior of the strapping frame. This ensures that the strapping enclosed along the strapping frame in the strapping channel 15 does not escape from the strapping channel 15.

[0051] When the strap is retracted to tighten the strap B around the package, the strapping material B is pulled out of the strapping material channel 15 by opening the spring-loaded flaps 420. Fig. Figure 17 shows the leg section 400 with open band channel flaps 420, from which the strapping means B emerges and is drawn through the space Z between the leg segments 511 of the leg section 500. Fig. In section 17, the leg section 400 was cut away to illustrate the flap opening. The double-T profile located between the belt channel flaps 420 forms the belt channel floor on the one hand and serves to hold the belt channel flaps 420 on the other.

[0052] In Fig. In Figure 17, the gap Z is narrower than the strap width. However, this is purely for illustrative purposes, to make the strapping sufficiently visible. In reality, the gap Z can have a width at least equal to the strap width to prevent damage to the strapping B when it is pulled out of the gap Z.
