Round-bale press wrapping table on loading arm
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Round balers require a large installation space due to the arrangement of the winding device behind the baling chamber, making them cumbersome to maneuver and handle, especially in tight spaces or hilly terrain.
Innovation Solution
An integrated bale wrapping device with a movably arranged wrapping table on a loading arm that can pivot, tilt, and rotate, allowing for compact design and easy handling, and featuring a control device for remote operation to manage positions such as loading, wrapping, transport, and storage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the winding device is arranged behind the baling chamber, then the bale can be wrapped with winding material, but the installation space required increases and maneuverability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The wrapping table is made movable relative to the housing through a loading arm mechanism that allows the wrapping table to be displaced between a loading position (adjacent to the baling chamber) and a wrapping position (behind the baling chamber). This dynamic reconfiguration enables the wrapping function to be performed while minimizing the permanent installation space required.
Solution Approach 2:
The wrapping device is segmented into a movable wrapping table and a fixed housing, connected by a loading arm. This segmentation allows the wrapping table to be separated from the main housing structure and repositioned as needed, reducing the overall footprint of the stationary components while maintaining the wrapping capability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the winding device is arranged behind the baling chamber, then the bale can be wrapped with winding material, but the handling and maneuvering becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The loading arm mechanism enables dynamic repositioning of the wrapping table, allowing the operator to easily move the wrapping table between loading and wrapping positions. This dynamic capability significantly improves maneuverability and handling compared to a fixed rear arrangement, while still providing the necessary wrapping function.
3Productivity
If the wrapping table is fixed adjacent to the baling chamber, then the bale can be loaded efficiently, but the wrapping operation requires excessive space
Solution Approach 1:
The loading arm mechanism allows the wrapping table to be dynamically positioned adjacent to the baling chamber during loading operations, ensuring efficient bale transfer. After loading, the wrapping table can be moved to a compact wrapping position, minimizing the space required for the wrapping operation. This dynamic repositioning resolves the contradiction between loading efficiency and wrapping space requirements.

AI summary
A round baler (10) with a pressing chamber (14) arranged in a housing (12) for pressing round bales (16) has in a lower area at least one substantially housing-fixed pressing roller (20) and a wrapping device (22) downstream of the pressing chamber (14) with a wrapping table (24) for wrapping a round bale (16) with a wrapping material (26). According to the invention, the wrapping table (24) is movably arranged on the housing (12) by means of a loading arm (32) and is designed to be displaceable between at least one loading position (L) for receiving a bale (16) from the pressing chamber (14) and a wrapping position (W) for wrapping the bale (16).
