Abstract

The packaging band in packaging machines, especially when it is formed from plastic, was previously temporarily stored in meandering loops. According to the invention, the band is stored in coils in a spiral relationship to each other, whereby the center of the spiral is shifted and the coils have a free intermediary space between each other. The packaging band can be easily fed at a tangent to the start of the smallest coil without sharp bends and removed at the largest coil by means of shifting the center. The spiral can also be in a standing position. It is advantageous in this instance if the packaging band is fed in and removed in the vicinity of the lowest point. The innermost coil is not limited in its size by any fixed stop means, but rather the infeed of packaging band is cut in by a sensing switch when the radius of the inner coil has reached a certain minimum size. The switch also cuts out the infeed to the storage unit in time during operation, so that the outermost coil does not firmly contact an outer ring.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Ausgleichen der unterschiedlich hohen Geschwindigkeiten beim Abwickeln und Zuführen von Verpackungsband, das von einer Vorratsrolle relativ langsam in langen Intervallen abgewickelt und nach dem Durchlaufen eines ausgleichenden Speichers in extrem kurzen Intervallen mit schnell einsetzender hoher Geschwindigkeit einer Verpackungsmaschine zugeführt wird, wobei das Zuführen in den die Wicklungen enthaltenden Speicher an der innersten Windung .und das Abführen an der äußersten Windung des Wickels geschieht und der Ladezustand des Speichers durch einen die Bandzuführung schaltenden Schalter überwacht wird.The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for compensating for the different speeds during the unwinding and feeding of packaging tape, which unwinds relatively slowly from a supply roll in long intervals and, after passing through a compensating memory, is fed to a packaging machine in extremely short intervals at a rapidly increasing high speed the feeding into the storage containing the windings takes place at the innermost turn and the removal takes place at the outermost turn of the winding and the state of charge of the storage is monitored by a switch which switches the tape feed.

Aus der DE-PS 2262148 sind ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Speicherung von Stahlband in einem Wickel bekannt. Es werden dort große Längen des Bandes in einer Vielzahl von Windungen abgespeichert. Wenn durch unterschiedlich schnelles Zu- und Abführen des Bandes .der Wickel als Ausgleich dient, so muß der schwere Wickel gedreht werden. Hierbei dienen angetriebene Rollen als Hilfsantriebe. Das in der DE-PS 2262148 beschriebene Verfahren und die Vorrichtung sind ungeeignet, wenn das Band für kurze Zeiträume sehr schnell vom Wickel abgezogen werden muß. Es entstehen große Trägheitskräfte, wenn der Auflagetisch ruckweise in Drehung versetzt wird. Außerdem können die Hilfsantriebe keine ruckweisen Beschleunigungen ausführen, weil das lose auf diesen liegende Band rutscht.From DE-PS 2262148 a method and a device for storing steel strip in a winding are known. Large lengths of the tape are stored in a large number of turns there. If the winding serves as compensation by feeding and removing the tape at different speeds, the heavy winding must be turned. Here, driven rollers serve as auxiliary drives. The method and the device described in DE-PS 2262148 are unsuitable if the tape has to be removed from the roll very quickly for short periods of time. Large inertia forces arise when the support table is jerked in rotation. In addition, the auxiliary drives cannot perform jerky accelerations because the belt lying loosely slides on them.

Ein solcher ruckweiser Bandverbrauch entsteht bei den heutigen schnellaufenden Verpackungsmaschinen. Bei einem ruckweisen Verbrauch würden nach dem Prinzip der DE-PS 2262148 die inneren Windungen des Bandes sehr fest auf dem begrenzenden Innenanschlag und aufeinanderliegen. Das hätte zur Folge, daß das dem Wickel am kleinsten Innenradius zugeführte Band die inneren Windungen nicht mehr größer drücken kann. Das zuführende Band käme im Zuführungskanal ins Stocken, es würde dort Wellen schlagen und sich verklemmen. Die Gefahr des Verklemmens ist besonders bei dünnen, relativ leicht biegbaren Verpackungsbändern aus Kunststoff sehr groß.Such a jerky tape consumption occurs in today's high-speed packaging machines. In the event of jerky consumption, the inner windings of the band would lie very firmly on the limiting inner stop and on top of one another according to the principle of DE-PS 2262148. As a result, the tape fed to the winding with the smallest inner radius can no longer push the inner windings larger. The feed belt would come to a standstill in the feed channel, it would make waves and jam there. The risk of jamming is very high, especially with thin, relatively easily bendable plastic packaging tapes.

Aus diesem Grunde werden nach der schweizerischen Patentschrift Nr. 404527 und der DE-PS 29 35 894 die Verpackungsbänder aus Kunststoff in frei mäanderförmig aufeinanderliegenden Schleifen, die sich nicht aufeinander festzurren können, gespeichert. Diese haben wiederum den Nachteil, daß an den Umkehrpunkten der Schleifen das Band in einem sehr engen Radius gekrümmt wird. Wenn die Verpackungsmaschine z. B. eine halbe Stunde nicht benutzt wird, so prägen sich die scharfen Krümmungen in das Verpackungsband ein. Das entsprechende Stück des Verpackungsbandes muß dann abgeschnitten und weggeworfen werden, und der Speicher der Verpackungsmaschine muß für die erneute Benutzung mit neuen mäanderförmigen Schleifen gefüllt werden.For this reason, according to the Swiss patent no. 404527 and DE-PS 29 35 894, the packaging tapes made of plastic are stored in loops which lie freely on one another in a meandering pattern and which cannot be lashed together. These in turn have the disadvantage that the strip is curved in a very narrow radius at the reversal points of the loops. If the packaging machine e.g. B. is not used for half an hour, so the sharp curvatures in the packaging tape. The appropriate piece of packaging tape must then be cut and discarded, and the packaging machine memory must be filled with new meandering loops for reuse.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Nachteile der beschriebenen Speicherungen zu bezeitigen und eine Speicherung zu schaffen, die ohne scharfe Krümmungen das Verpackungsband speichert und bei der das Verpackungsband auch schnell und stoßweise aus dem Speicher entnommen werden kann und bei der stoßweisen Entnahme zwischen den Windungen Zwischenräume erhaltenbleiben.The invention has for its object to overcome the disadvantages of the storage described and to create a storage that stores the packaging tape without sharp bends and in which the packaging tape can also be removed quickly and intermittently from the storage and in the intermittent removal between the turns Gaps remain.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, daß das Verpackungsband an der innersten Windung des Wickels in einem Bereich zugeführt wird, der auf einem Kreisring liegt, dessen Mittelpunkt mit dem Mittelpunkt eines Außenringes zusammenfällt und dessen größter und kleinster Radius 95 % und 70 % des Wertes haben, den der Radius eines begrenzenden Außenringes hat oder den die größte mögliche Außenwindung bei fehlendem Außenring hat, wobei die Zuführung in die innere Windung führungsmittelfrei annähernd tangential geschieht.This object is achieved in that the packaging tape is fed to the innermost turn of the winding in an area which lies on a circular ring, the center of which coincides with the center of an outer ring and the largest and smallest radius of which are 95% and 70% of the value, which has the radius of a delimiting outer ring or which has the largest possible outer turn in the absence of an outer ring, with the feed into the inner turn taking place approximately tangentially without guide means.

Wenn die Verpackungsmaschine ruckweise Verpackungsband abzieht, so drehen sich nur die wenigen Windungen des Wickels, die insgesamt nach dem Abziehen einen kleineren Durchmesser als vorher haben. Die kleineren Windungen haben immer noch einen kleinen Zwischenraum untereinander und es besteht durch federnde Kräfte der Windungen das Bestreben, sich zu vergrößern und den Zwischenraum ebenfalls zu vergrößern.If the packaging machine pulls off the packaging tape in jerks, only the few turns of the winding turn, which overall have a smaller diameter than before after the removal. The smaller turns still have a small space between them and there is a tendency due to the resilient forces of the turns to enlarge and also enlarge the space.

In dem Wickel wird nur Verpackungsband für bis zu 20 Umreifungen gespeichert. Während der Abzug des Verpackungsbandes aus dem Speicher ruckweise für nur sehr kurze Zeit erfolgt, so erfolgt dagegen die Zuführung wesentlich langsamer und in einer längeren Zeitspanne. Das hat bekanntlich den Vorteil, daß die schwere Vorratsrolle sich nur sehr langsam drehen braucht, was wegen der Unfallgefahr wichtig ist.Only packaging tape for up to 20 strapping is stored in the wrap. While the packaging tape is pulled out of the store in jerks for only a very short time, the supply, on the other hand, takes place much more slowly and in a longer period of time. As is well known, this has the advantage that the heavy supply roll only has to rotate very slowly, which is important because of the risk of accidents.

Es ist von Vorteil, wenn z. B. im Bereich eines abtastenden Schalters die Wicklungen weit voneinander entfernt liegen, da sich dann gut erkennbare Schaltunterschiede für den Schalter ergeben. Große Abstände der Wicklungen werden dadurch erreicht, daß der Wickel aufrechtstehend gebildet wird und die Wicklungen exzentrisch liegen und oberhalb des untersten Punktes des Wickels am engsten aneinanderliegen und unterhalb des obersten Punktes am weitesten voneinander entfernt liegen.It is advantageous if, for. B. in the area of a scanning switch, the windings are far apart, since then there are clearly recognizable switching differences for the switch. Large distances between the windings are achieved in that the winding is formed upright and the windings are located eccentrically and are closest to one another above the lowest point of the winding and are furthest apart from one another below the uppermost point.

Diese exzentrische Anordnung der Windungen des Wickels hat außerdem noch den Vorteil, daß das dem Speicher zugeführte Verpackungsband nicht scharf gekrümmt werden muß. Es entsteht ein relativ großer Krümmungsradius für das Verpackungsband, wenn dieses dem Wickel bei aufrechtstehendem Wickel etwas oberhalb des untersten Punktes des Wickels annähernd parallel zur Tangente an den untersten Punkt des Wickels zugeführt wird. Durch das Aufliegen des Wickels am untersten Punkt infolge des Gewichtes hat der Wickel dort eine gewisse Stabilität und außerdem liegt dort der einzige Punkt, wo Reibung auftritt. Es ist von Vorteil, wenn an diesem Punkt das Verpackungsband ebenfalls abgezogen wird, da sich dann die durch die Reibung entstehenden Kräfte nicht bis zu den inneren Wicklungen des Wickels störend fortpflanzen können.This eccentric arrangement of the windings of the winding also has the advantage that the packaging tape fed to the store does not have to be sharply curved. A relatively large radius of curvature arises for the packaging tape when it is fed to the roll with the roll upright somewhat above the lowermost point of the roll approximately parallel to the tangent to the lowermost point of the roll. By laying the wrap on at the lowest point due to the weight, the wrap has a certain stability there and also is the only point where friction occurs. It is advantageous if the packaging tape is also pulled off at this point, since then the forces arising from the friction cannot propagate up to the inner windings of the winding.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des Verfahrens besteht aus einem zwischen der Vorratsrolle und der Verpackungsmaschine zwischengeschaltetem Speicher, der einen schmalen, ringförmig begrenzten Speicherraum besitzt, der geringfügig breiter ausgeführt ist, als der in ihm zu speichernde Wickel aus Verpackungsband breit ist, und an den eine Führungsbahn zum Zuführen angebaut ist, die im Bereich eines Kreisringes annähernd tangential zu der im Betriebszustand sich bildenden innersten Windung mündet und bei dem der größte und kleinste Radius dieses Kreisringes zwischen 95 % und 70 % des Radius beträgt, den der begrenzende Außenring hat oder den bei fehlendem Außenring die größte mögliche Windung des Wickels hat, und daß der Mittelpunkt dieses Kreisringes mit dem Mittelpunkt des Außenringes oder der äußersten Windung zusammenfällt und bei dem mindestens ein mit einem Abtaster der Windungen des Wickels versehener Schalter eingebaut ist, der mit dem Antrieb einer das Verpackungsband zum Speicher zuführenden Transportvorrichtung (Rollenpaar) verbunden ist, und der Abtaster so eingestellt ist, daß der Schalter auf Einschaltstellung des Antriebes steht, wenn ein vorgewählter Durchmesser der innersten Windung erreicht ist, und der Schalter auf Ausschaltstellung steht, wenn ein größerer vorbestimmter Durchmesser erreicht ist, und die Ein-und Ausschaltpunkte des Schalters für den normalen Betrieb mit Ausnahme des ersten Füllvorganges so gewählt sind, daß bei im Betrieb sich laufend veränderndem Durchmesser der Windungen mindestens an einem Teil einer jeden Windung ein freier Zwischenraum zur benachbarten Windung verbleibt und die kleinste innerste Windung durch die eigene Federkraft offen gehalten ist und ihr verbleibender Innenraum frei von den kleinsten, den Durchmesser bestimmenden Anschlägen ausgebildet ist.A device for carrying out the method consists of a storage device interposed between the supply roll and the packaging machine, which has a narrow, ring-shaped storage space that is slightly wider than the winding of packaging tape to be stored in it, and to which a guideway is installed for feeding, which opens in the area of a circular ring almost tangentially to the innermost turn formed in the operating state and in which the largest and smallest radius of this circular ring is between 95% and 70% of the radius that the limiting outer ring has or that in the absence Outer ring has the largest possible turn of the winding, and that the center of this circular ring coincides with the center of the outer ring or the outermost turn and in which at least one switch is provided which is provided with a scanner for the turns of the winding and which drives the packaging tape to Store he feeding transport device (pair of rollers) is connected, and the scanner is set so that the switch is in the switch-on position of the drive when a preselected diameter of the innermost turn is reached, and the switch is in the switch-off position when a larger predetermined diameter is reached, and the switch-on and switch-off points of the switch for normal operation, with the exception of the first filling process, are selected such that, with the diameter of the turns continuously changing during operation, at least a portion of each turn leaves a free space between the adjacent turn and the smallest innermost turn is kept open by its own spring force and its remaining interior is free from the smallest, diameter-determining stops.

Die Windungen des Speichers können sehr schnell zum Speichern oder Abgeben des Verpackungsbandes benutzt werden, weil nur die geringen Massen der Windungen selbst beschleunigt werden müssen und auch fast keine Reibungskräfte auftreten. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Federkraft des Verpackungsbandes und die Anzahl der Windungen und der Radius der Windungen so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Windungen auf dem größten Teil ihres Umfanges sich nicht berühren und ein freier Zwischenraum verbleibt. Eine weitgehend freitragende Wicklung wird besonders dann erhalten, wenn die Windungen des Wickels in einer senkrechten Ebene liegen und in der Nähe des untersten Punktes des Wickels dichter als in der Nähe des obersten Punktes aneinander liegen. Damit das Verpackungsband nach Verlassen des Speichers ohne große Reibung durch eine lineare Führungsbahn zur Umreifungsmaschine geführt werden kann, darf es vorher nicht zu stark gekrümmt werden. Zu starke Krümmungen lassen sich wegen der bleibenden Verformungen nicht mehr rückgängig machen. Sie werden dadurch vermieden, daß die Zuführung des Verpackungsbandes zum Zwischenspeicher etwas oberhalb des untersten Punktes des Wickels durch eine gerade oder gekrümmte Führungsbahn erfolgt und die Mündung der Führungsbahn annähernd parallel zu einer an den untersten Punkt des Wickels gelegten Tangente verläuft und außerdem die Zuführung entsprechend einer 180° Drehung einer Schraubenlinie gekrümmt ist und der Radius der Schraubenlinie in seiner Größe annähernd gleich dem durch die Einschaltstellung des Schalters bestimmten kleinsten Radius der Wicklung ist. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen 9 bis 15 beschrieben.The turns of the storage can be used very quickly for storing or releasing the packaging tape because only the small masses of the turns themselves have to be accelerated and almost no frictional forces occur. For this purpose, the spring force of the packaging tape and the number of turns and the radius of the turns are coordinated so that the turns on most of their circumference do not touch and a free space remains. A largely self-supporting winding is obtained especially when the windings of the winding lie in a vertical plane and are closer together in the vicinity of the lowest point of the winding than in the vicinity of the uppermost point. To ensure that the packaging tape can be guided through a linear guideway to the strapping machine without great friction after leaving the store, it must not be bent too much beforehand. Excessive curvatures can no longer be reversed due to the permanent deformation. They are avoided by the fact that the supply of the packaging tape to the intermediate storage takes place somewhat above the lowermost point of the winding through a straight or curved guideway and the mouth of the guideway runs approximately parallel to a tangent to the lowest point of the winding and also the feeding corresponding to a 180 ° rotation of a helix is curved and the radius of the helix is approximately equal in size to the smallest radius of the winding determined by the switch in the on position. Advantageous further developments are described in subclaims 9 to 15.

Das Verpackungsband 11 wird üblicherweise von einer großen Vorratsrolle 12 mit Hilfe des von einem Motor angetriebenen Rollenpaares 13 abgezogen. Hinter dem Rollenpaar 13 wird das Verpackungsband 11 durch den geradlinigen Führungskanal 14 und die gekrümmte Führungsbahn 15 in den Speicher 16 geschoben. Wegen der schiebenden Bewegung in dem Führungskanal 14 und der Führungsbahn 15 dürfen dort nur sehr geringe Reibungskräfte auftreten. Bei stärkeren Reibungskräften würde das Verpackungsband 11 selbst in dem geradlinigen Führungskanal 14 Wellen bilden und verklemmen.The packaging tape 11 is usually pulled off a large supply roll 12 with the aid of the pair of rolls 13 driven by a motor. Behind the pair of rollers 13, the packaging tape 11 is pushed through the straight guide channel 14 and the curved guide path 15 into the store 16. Because of the pushing movement in the guide channel 14 and the guideway 15, only very low frictional forces may occur there. With stronger frictional forces, the packaging tape 11 would form and jam even in the straight guide channel 14.

Der große Radius der Führungsbahn 15 gewährleistet eine nur geringe Reibung. Im Speicher 16 wird das Verpackungsband 11 von der innersten Windung 17 in einer Spirale, deren Mittelpunkt verschoben ist, zur äußersten Windung 19 des Wickels 18 transportiert. Die äußerste Windung 19 liegt nur beim ersten Füllvorgang am Außenring 20 an. Der Außenring 20 ist beim ersten Füllen des Speichers 16 ringförmig geschlossen und auf den Rollen oder Lagern 21 und 22 drehbar gelagert. Für jede gespeicherte Windung dreht sich der Außenring 20 einmal. Wenn beim ersten Füllen im Speicher 16 eine genügende Anzahl von Windungen vorhanden ist, so wird der Außenring 20 an seiner untersten Stelle beim Punkt 23 geöffnet, wobei die Enden etwas elastisch auseinandergebogen werden und in der geöffneten Stellung arretiert oder verhakt werden. Durch die entstandene Öffnung beim Punkt 23 wird der Anfang des Verpackungsbandes 11 auf dem Weg 24 und 25 zum angetriebenen Rollenpaar 26 durch die Bedienungsperson geführt. Wenn das Rollenpaar 26 erst einmal den Anfang des Verpackungsbandes 11 erfaßt hat, so wird das weitere Verpackungsband 11 bei Bedarf automatisch vom Speicher 16 abgezogen. Das Rollenpaar 26 führt in bekannter Weise das Verpackungsband durch den Umreifungskanal 28 um das zu umreifende Packstück 27 herum bis der Anfang den Verschlußkopf 29 erreicht. Der Antrieb des Rollenpaares 26 wird vom Verschlußkopf gesteuert. Das Rollenpaar 26 zieht sehr schnell das für jeweils eine Umreifung benötigte Verpackungsband 11 aus dem Speicher 16 ab. Danach tritt eine Pause bis zur nächsten Umreifung ein. Der Antrieb 13 zieht dagegen mit wesentlich geringerer Geschwindigkeit das Verpackungsband von der Vorratsrolle 12 ab. Die geringere Geschwindigkeit gegenüber dem Rollenpaar 26 wird durch ein zeitlich längeres Laufen des Antriebes 13 ausgeglichen. Es ist von Vorteil, daß der Antrieb 13 nur langsam läuft, weil dieser die große Masse der Vorratsrolle 12 in Bewegung setzen muß. Mit Ausnahme des ersten anfänglichen Füllens wird beim Nachfüllen während des normalen Betriebes ein Luftzwischenraum zwischen dem Außenring 20 und der äußersten Windung 19 des Wickels 18 gelassen, so daß zwischen diesen Teilen keine Reibung entstehen kann. Es ist wichtig, daß das Abziehen von Verpackungsband 11 aus dem Speicher 16 mit relativ geringen Kräften erfolgen kann, weil die Rollen 26 nur mit geringer Kraft gegen des Verpackungsband drücken. Diese Einstellung mit geringer Anpreßkraft der Rollen 26 wird deshalb gewählt, damit die Rollen 26 auf dem Verpackungsband 11 rutschend nachlaufen können, wenn die vordere Kante des Verpackungsbandes 11 einen Anschlag im Verschlußkopf erreicht hat und das Verpackungsband 11 plötzlich abgebremst wird. Die Rollen 26 und ihr Antrieb lassen sich nicht so plötzlich abbremsen, sie machen noch einige Umdrehungen bis zum Stillstand.The large radius of the guideway 15 ensures only low friction. In the storage 16, the packaging tape 11 is transported from the innermost turn 17 in a spiral, the center of which is shifted, to the outermost turn 19 of the winding 18. The outermost turn 19 only bears against the outer ring 20 during the first filling process. The outer ring 20 is closed in a ring shape when the reservoir 16 is filled for the first time and is rotatably mounted on the rollers or bearings 21 and 22. The outer ring 20 rotates once for each stored turn. If there is a sufficient number of turns in the store 16 during the first filling, the outer ring 20 is opened at its lowest point at point 23, the ends being bent apart somewhat elastically and locked or hooked in the open position. Through the opening created at point 23, the beginning of the packaging belt 11 is guided on the way 24 and 25 to the driven roller pair 26 by the operator. Once the pair of rollers 26 has grasped the beginning of the packaging tape 11, the additional packaging tape 11 is automatically removed from the memory 16 if required. The pair of rollers 26 guides the packaging tape in a known manner through the strapping channel 28 around the package 27 to be strapped until the beginning reaches the closure head 29. The drive of the pair of rollers 26 is controlled by the breech head. The pair of rollers 26 very quickly pulls the packaging tape 11 required for each strapping from the store 16. Then there is a pause until the next strapping. In contrast, the drive 13 pulls the packaging tape off the supply roll 12 at a significantly lower speed. The lower speed compared to the pair of rollers 26 is compensated for by the drive 13 running for a longer period of time. It is advantageous that the drive 13 runs only slowly because it has to set the large mass of the supply roll 12 in motion. With the exception of the first initial filling, an air gap is left between the outer ring 20 and the outermost turn 19 of the winding 18 during refilling during normal operation, so that no friction can occur between these parts. It is important that the removal of packaging tape 11 from the storage 16 can be done with relatively little force because the rollers 26 press against the packaging tape with little force. This setting with low contact pressure of the rollers 26 is therefore chosen so that the rollers 26 can slide on the packaging tape 11 when the front edge of the packaging tape 11 has reached a stop in the closure head and the packaging tape 11 is suddenly braked. The rollers 26 and their drive cannot be braked so suddenly, they still make a few revolutions to a standstill.

Der Antrieb 13 für den Bandvorschub wird durch den Schalter 30 gesteuert. Der Schalter 30 enthält einen als Hebel ausgebildeten Abtaster 32, der mit leichter Federkraft seitlich gegen die Stirnflächen der Windungen gedrückt ist.The drive 13 for the tape feed is controlled by the switch 30. The switch 30 contains a scanner 32 designed as a lever, which is pressed laterally against the end faces of the windings with a slight spring force.

In der Fig. 4 ist der Wickel 18 in der Einschaltstellung 38 und der Ausschaltstellung 37 dargestellt. In der Einschaltstellung 38 drückt der Wickel 18 den Abtaster 32, in die gestrichelt gezeichnete Stellung 34, in der der Einschaltkontakt 35 für den Antrieb der Rollen 13 geschlossen wird. Sobald Verpackungsband 11 durch die Rollen 15 in den Speicher 16 transportiert wird, wird der Durchmosser der Windungen des Wickels 18 größer und dieser erreicht die Ausschaltstellung 37. Der Abtaster 32 steht dann in der Stellung 33. Der Abtaster 32 ist mit einer Schräge 36 versehen, damit ein glatter Übergang aus den beiden extremen Stellungen 34 und 38 erreicht wird. Der Einschaltkontakt 35 ist bereits geschlossen, wenn die innerste Windung 17 das erste Drittel der Schräge 36 berührt. Normalerweise verringert sich dann trotz eingeschaltetem Antriebes der Rollen 13 der Durchmesser der Windungen weiter, weil das Abziehen von Verpackungsband 11 durch die Rollen 26 schneller erfolgt. Es kann der Wickel 18 deshalb die Stellung 38 erreichen. In einer Pause, wenn z. B. ein neues Paket in die Umreifungsmaschine eingeführt wird, wirkt nur der Antrieb der Rollen 13, so daß vor dem nächsten Umreifen die Ausschaltstellung 37 des Wickels 18 erreicht wird.4, the winding 18 is shown in the switched-on position 38 and the switched-off position 37. In the switched-on position 38, the winding 18 presses the scanner 32, into the position 34 shown in broken lines, in which the switch-on contact 35 is closed for driving the rollers 13. As soon as packaging tape 11 is transported through the rollers 15 into the store 16, the diameter of the windings of the winding 18 increases and this reaches the switch-off position 37. The scanner 32 is then in the position 33. The scanner 32 is provided with a bevel 36, so that a smooth transition from the two extreme positions 34 and 38 is achieved. The switch contact 35 is already closed when the innermost turn 17 touches the first third of the slope 36. Normally, the diameter of the windings then continues to decrease despite the drive of the rollers 13 being switched on because the packaging tape 11 is pulled off more quickly by the rollers 26. The winding 18 can therefore reach position 38. In a pause when e.g. B. a new package is introduced into the strapping machine, only the drive of the rollers 13 acts, so that the off position 37 of the winding 18 is reached before the next strapping.

Anstelle des Schalters 30 mit Abtaster 32 sind auch andere Konstruktionen von Schaltern denkbar. So kann z. B. der Abtaster 32 durch einen Lichtstrahl ersetzt werden, der entsprechend der Schräge 36 verläuft und bei dessen Unterbrechung eine lichtelektrische Zelle und ein angeschlossenes Relais den Antrieb zu den Rollen 13 einschalten. Zum Betrieb der Vorrichtung ist noch ein zweiter überwachender Schalter 31 notwendig, der dann abschaltend in Funktion tritt, wenn das vordere Ende des Verpackungsbandes 11 einen Anschlag verfehlt hat, durch den der Antrieb der Rollen 26 ausgeschaltet wird. Es . würden in einem solchen Fall die Rollen 26 soviel Verpackungsband 11 aus dem Speicher 16 ziehen, bis der Durchmesser des Wickels 18 ganz klein geworden ist und alle Windungen fest aufeinander liegen und praktisch verklemmt sind, so daß der Speicher 16 nicht mehr neu gefüllt werden kann. Um einer solchen Betriebsstörung vorzubeugen, überwacht der Schalter 31, der wie der Schalter 30 gebaut ist, mit seinem fühlenden. Abtaster einen kreisförmigen Bereich innerhalb des Wickels 18, dessen Durchmesser noch kleiner als der normalerweise im Betrieb vorkommenden Durchmesser der kleinsten Windung ist. Dieser Schalter 31 schaltet den Antrieb zu den Rollen 26 oder den gesamten Verpackungsautomaten ab, wenn sein Abtaster durch eine Windung hochgedrückt wird. Anstelle des Begrenzungsringes 20 kann auch der Anfang des Verpackungsbandes 11 per Hand zu einem Ring gebogen werden, wobei der Anfang z. B. durch Klebeband festgelegt wird. Ein solcher Begrenzungsring wird im Durchmesser zweckmäßig durch mindestens drei um 120° versetzte leichte drehbare Rollen oder Lager begrenzt, wobei die Rollen oder Lager für die Drehbarkeit beim ersten Füllen sorgen.Instead of the switch 30 with the scanner 32, other constructions of switches are also conceivable. So z. B. the scanner 32 can be replaced by a light beam which runs according to the slope 36 and when interrupted a photoelectric cell and a connected relay turn on the drive to the rollers 13. To operate the device, a second monitoring switch 31 is also necessary, which then switches off when the front end of the packaging belt 11 has missed a stop by which the drive of the rollers 26 is switched off. It. In such a case, the rollers 26 would pull as much packaging tape 11 out of the store 16 until the diameter of the winding 18 has become very small and all the turns lie firmly on one another and are practically jammed, so that the store 16 can no longer be refilled. To prevent such a malfunction, the switch 31, which is constructed like the switch 30, monitors with its sensing. Scanning a circular area within the coil 18, the diameter of which is still smaller than the diameter of the smallest turn normally occurring during operation. This switch 31 switches off the drive to the rollers 26 or the entire packaging machine when its scanner is pushed up by one turn. Instead of the limiting ring 20, the beginning of the packaging tape 11 can be bent into a ring by hand, the beginning of z. B. is fixed by adhesive tape. Such a limiting ring is expediently limited in diameter by at least three light rotatable rollers or bearings offset by 120 °, the rollers or bearings ensuring the rotatability when first filled.

Die beschriebene Vorrichtung für Verpackungsband aus Kunststoff kann auch vorteilhaft bei Verpackungsband aus Stahlband eingesetzt werden. Die Achse des Wickels kann auch in einer anderen Lage als waagerecht z. B. auch senkrecht stehen.The described device for plastic packaging tape can also be used advantageously with steel tape packaging tape. The axis of the winding can also be in a position other than horizontal z. B. also stand vertically.
