Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Umlenkaggregat zum geführten Umlenken eines insbesondere aus Kunststoff bestehenden Bandes, insbesondere für eine ein Umreifungsaggregat umfassende Umreifungsmaschine zum Umlenken des Bandes in einem zwischen einem Bandspeicher und dem Umreifungsaggregat gelegenen Bereich.The invention relates to a deflection unit for guided deflection of a especially made of plastic tape, especially for a a strapping machine comprising deflection unit of the band in a between a band store and the strapping unit located area.

Wird ein solches Umlenkaggregat beispielsweise zwischen dem Umreifungsaggregat einer dem Umspannen des betreffenden Umreifungsgutes dienenden Umreifungsmaschine und einem beispielsweise als Rolle vorgesehenen Bandspeicher eingesetzt, so können je nach Ausführung, Position und/oder relativer Lage der Umreifungsmaschine und des Bandspeichers insbesondere auch unterschiedliche Bandumlenkwinkel erforderlich sein. Wird das Kunststoffband beispielsweise über eine Umlenkrolle geführt, so ergeben sich entsprechend unterschiedliche Umschlingungswinkel. Die bisher üblichen Umlenkaggregate sind nun aber in der Regel nur für einen oder einige wenige spezielle Anwendungsfälle geeignet. Sofern ein Umrüsten überhaupt möglich ist, ist dies in der Regel mit einem relativ großen Aufwand verbunden.Such a deflection unit, for example, between the strapping unit one is the reclamping of the strapping material in question serving strapping machine and one provided for example as a roll Tape storage used, depending on the version, position and / or relative position of the strapping machine and the belt store in particular, different belt deflection angles may also be required. If the plastic band is guided over a deflection roller, for example accordingly different wrap angles result. The deflection units that were customary up to now are generally only for one or a few special applications. If a changeover is possible at all, this is usually with a relatively large Associated effort.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Umlenkaggregat der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, das bei möglichst einfach gehaltenem Aufbau problemlos insbesondere auch an unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten angepaßt werden kann. The invention has for its object a deflection unit of the beginning to create the type mentioned, while keeping it as simple as possible Easy to set up, especially in different circumstances can be adjusted.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe umfaßt das Umlenkaggregat erfindungsgemäß eine Umlenkrolle, einen der Umlenkrolle vorgeschalteten Bandeinlaufkanal, einen der Umlenkrolle nachgeschalteten Bandauslaufkanal, wobei der Bandeinlaufkanal und der Bandauslaufkanal relativ zueinander verstellbar sind, und ein den Zwischenraum zwischen Bandeinlauf- und Bandauslaufkanal überbrückendes, dem Außenumfang der innenliegenden Umlenkrolle gegenüberliegendes äußeres flexibles Leitorgan.To achieve this object, the deflection unit comprises according to the invention a deflecting roller, a strip inlet duct upstream of the deflecting roller, one of the deflection roller downstream tape outlet channel, the The tape inlet channel and the tape outlet channel are adjustable relative to one another and the space between the tape inlet and tape outlet channel bridging the outer circumference of the inner Deflection roller opposite outer flexible guide element.

Aufgrund dieser Ausbildung kann das Umlenkaggregat schnell und problemlos an unterschiedliche Gegebenheiten angepaßt werden, wobei unabhängig von der jeweiligen relativen Lage der beiden Bandlaufkanäle bzw. unabhängig vom jeweiligen Umschlingungswinkel, über den das Band über die Umlenkrolle geführt werden muß, stets eine zuverlässige Bandführung gewährleistet ist. Nachdem das Leitorgan flexibel ist, paßt es sich automatisch an die jeweilige relative Lage der beiden Bandlaufkanäle an, so daß in jedem Fall für eine optimale Überbrückung des Zwischenbereiches und eine entsprechend zuverlässige Bandführung gesorgt ist.Due to this training, the deflection unit can be quickly and easily to be adapted to different circumstances, being independent on the relative position of the two tape channels or regardless of the respective wrap angle over which the Tape must be passed over the pulley, always a reliable one Belt guidance is guaranteed. After the lead organ is flexible, it fits automatically adapts to the relative position of the two belt channels so that in any case for an optimal bridging of the intermediate area and correspondingly reliable tape guidance is ensured.

Bei einer bevorzugten praktischen Ausführungsform ist das flexible Leitorgan mit einem Ende am Bandeinlaufkanal und mit seinem anderen Ende am Bandauslaufkanal abgestützt. Dabei ist von Vorteil, wenn dieses flexible Leitorgan mit einem Ende an der Außenseite des Bandeinlaufkanals fixiert und mit seinem anderen Ende in den Bandauslaufkanal eingeführt ist. Je nach relativer Lage der beiden Bandlaufkanäle ragt das betreffende Bandende somit mehr oder weniger weit in den Bandauslaufkanal hinein. Die Länge des flexiblen Leitorgans ist so zu bemessen, daß dessen freies Ende auch bei maximaler Entfernung der beiden einander zugewandten Kanalenden noch in dem Bandauslaufkanal liegt. Damit ist bei sämtlichen Umlenk- bzw. Umschlingungswinkeln ausgeschlossen, daß das Band beim Einschieben an einer Kante anstößt.In a preferred practical embodiment, the flexible guide element is with one end at the tape inlet channel and with its other end supported on the tape outlet channel. It is an advantage if this flexible guide element with one end on the outside of the tape inlet channel fixed and inserted with its other end into the tape outlet channel is. Depending on the relative position of the two tape channels, the one in question protrudes The end of the strip is more or less far into the strip outlet channel inside. The length of the flexible guide element is to be dimensioned such that its free end even at maximum distance between the two facing channel ends is still in the tape outlet channel. So that is at all deflection or wrap angles excluded that the tape hits an edge when inserted.

Bei einer zweckmäßigen praktischen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Umlenkaggregats ist der Bandeinlaufkanal relativ zur Umlenkrolle in verschiedene Positionen verstellbar und in diesen vorzugsweise jeweils fixierbar. Es ist somit beispielsweise möglich, den Bandeinlaufkanal für den Einsatz bei unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten entsprechend zu verstellen, während eines jeweiligen Einsatzes die jeweils vorgegebene Position jedoch beizubehalten.In an expedient practical embodiment of the invention Deflection unit is the tape inlet channel relative to the deflection roller adjustable in different positions and preferably in these fixable. It is thus possible, for example, for the tape inlet channel to adjust the use accordingly in different circumstances, the given position during each assignment to maintain however.

Dabei kann der Bandeinlaufkanal beispielsweise auf einer vorzugsweise mit der Achse der Umlenkrolle zusammenfallenden Achse schwenkbar gelagert und in seiner jeweiligen Schwenklage vorzugsweise fixierbar sein.In this case, the tape inlet channel can preferably be on, for example axis coinciding with the axis of the deflection roller stored and preferably be fixable in its respective pivot position.

Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch der Bandauslaufkanal relativ zur Umlenkrolle in verschiedene Positionen verstellbar sein. Dabei ist dieser Bandauslaufkanal aus den verschiedenen Positionen vorzugsweise jeweils entgegen einer Federkraft auslenkbar. Damit kann der Bandauslaufkanal Änderungen der Bandlaufrichtung, wie sie beispielsweise durch einen jeweiligen Umreifungsvorgang hervorgerufen werden, folgen.Alternatively or additionally, the tape outlet channel can also be relative to the The pulley can be adjustable in different positions. Here is this Tape outlet channel from the different positions preferably each deflectable against a spring force. So that the tape outlet channel Changes in the tape running direction, such as those caused by a particular one Strapping process follow.

Dabei kann der Bandauslaufkanal beispielsweise auf einer vorzugsweise mit der Achse der Umlenkrolle zusammenfallenden Achse schwenkbar gelagert und vorzugsweise federnd in seiner jeweiligen Schwenklage gehalten sein. The tape outlet channel can, for example, preferably be on one axis coinciding with the axis of the deflection roller stored and preferably held resiliently in its respective pivot position his.

Das flexible Leitorgan ist vorzugsweise durch ein leitblech gebildet.The flexible guide element is preferably formed by a guide plate.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten praktischen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Umlenkaggregats ist der Bandeinlaufkanal lösbar an einem Träger befestigt. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch der Bandauslaufkanal lösbar an einem solchen Träger befestigt sein. Der jeweilige Bandlaufkanal ist somit auswechselbar. Damit besteht beispielsweise die Möglichkeit, je nach Bedarf Elemente unterschiedlicher Länge zu verwenden.According to a preferred practical embodiment of the invention Deflection unit, the tape inlet channel is detachable on a carrier attached. Alternatively or additionally, the tape outlet channel can also be used be releasably attached to such a carrier. The respective tape run channel is therefore interchangeable. This gives you the option, for example use elements of different lengths as required.

Die Figuren 1 bis 4 zeigen in rein schematischer Darstellung ein Umlenkaggregat 10 zum geführten Umlenken eines beispielsweise aus Kunststoff bestehenden Bandes 12.Figures 1 to 4 show a purely schematic representation of a deflection unit 10 for guided deflection of a plastic, for example existing volume 12.

Ein solches Umlenkaggregat 10 ist insbesondere für eine ein Umreifungsorgan 14 umfassende, in der Figur 5 dargestellte Umreifungsmaschine 16 geeignet. In diesem Fall kann das Umlenkaggregat 10 insbesondere in dem zwischen einem Bandspeicher 18 und dem Umreifungsaggregat 14 gelegenen Bereich angeordnet sein.Such a deflection unit 10 is, in particular, for a strapping element 14 comprehensive strapping machine 16 shown in FIG. 5 suitable. In this case, the deflection unit 10 can in particular between a belt store 18 and the strapping unit 14 located area.

Wie anhand der Figuren 1 bis 4 zu erkennen ist, umfaßt das Umlenkaggregat eine Umlenkrolle 20, einen der Umlenkrolle 20 vorgeschalteten Bandeinlaufkanal 22 und einen der Umlenkrolle 20 nachgeschalteten Bandauslaufkanal 24. Der Bandeinlaufkanal 22 und der Bandauslaufkanal 24 sind relativ zueinander verstellbar.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 4, the deflection unit comprises a deflection roller 20, one upstream of the deflection roller 20 Tape inlet channel 22 and one of the guide roller 20 downstream Tape outlet channel 24. The tape inlet channel 22 and the tape outlet channel 24 are adjustable relative to each other.

Darüberhinaus umfaßt dieses Umlenkorgan 10 ein den Zwischenraum zwischen Bandeinlauf- und Bandauslaufkanal 22 bzw. 24 überbrückendes, dem Außenumfang der innenliegenden Umlenkrolle 20 gegenüberliegendes äußeres flexibles Leitorgan, das im vorliegenden Fall durch ein flexibles Leitblech 26 gebildet ist.In addition, this deflecting member 10 includes an intermediate space bridging between strip inlet and strip outlet channels 22 and 24, the outer circumference of the inner deflection roller 20 opposite outer flexible guide, which in the present case by a flexible Baffle plate 26 is formed.

Wie sich insbesondere aus der Figur 4 ergibt, besitzt die Umlenkrolle 20 eine Umfangsnut 28, in der das Kunststoffband 12 entsprechend geführt ist. In dem Bereich zwischen den beiden Bandlaufkanälen 22, 24 ist die Umfangsnut 28 durch das flexible Leitblech 26 abgedeckt, so daß das Kunststoffband 12 zuverlässig zwischen dem Boden der Nut 28 und diesem Leitblech 26 geführt, d.h. innerhalb der Umfangsnut 28 gehalten ist. As can be seen in particular from FIG. 4, the deflection roller 20 a circumferential groove 28 in which the plastic band 12 is guided accordingly is. In the area between the two tape running channels 22, 24 is the Circumferential groove 28 covered by the flexible baffle 26, so that the Plastic tape 12 reliably between the bottom of the groove 28 and this Guide plate 26 guided, i.e. is held within the circumferential groove 28.

Wie anhand der Figuren 1 und 2zu erkennen ist, kann sich das flexible Leitblech 26 zumindest in seinem mittleren Bereich in die Umfangsnut 28 hinein erstrecken.As can be seen from FIGS. 1 and 2, this can be flexible Baffle plate 26 at least in its central region in the circumferential groove 28 extend into it.

Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Umlenkrolle 20 drehbar auf einer Achse 30 gelagert, die drehfest an einem Befestigungsarm 32 angebracht ist. Im vorliegenden Fall ist dieser Befestigungsarm 32 seitlich angeordnet. Grundsätzlich kann dieser beispielsweise jedoch auch oben oder unten angeordnet sein.In the present embodiment, the deflection roller 20 is rotatable mounted on an axis 30 which is non-rotatably on a fastening arm 32 is appropriate. In the present case, this mounting arm 32 is on the side arranged. In principle, however, this can also be done at the top or be arranged below.

Das flexible Leitblech 26 ist mit einem Ende 34 am Bandeinlaufkanal 22 und mit seinem anderen Ende 36 am Bandauslaufkanal 24 abgestützt. Dabei ist das flexible Leitblech 26 mit dem einen Ende 34 durch Befestigungsmittel 38 an der Außenseite des Bandeinlaufkanals 22 fixiert und mit seinem anderen, freien Ende 36 in den Bandauslaufkanal 24 eingeführt.The flexible guide plate 26 has one end 34 on the strip inlet channel 22 and supported with its other end 36 on the tape outlet channel 24. The flexible baffle 26 is at one end 34 by fasteners 38 fixed on the outside of the tape inlet channel 22 and with its other, free end 36 inserted into the tape outlet channel 24.

Der Bandeinlaufkanal 22 ist relativ zur Umlenkrolle 20 in verschiedene Positionen verstellbar und in diesen vorzugsweise jeweils fixierbar. Dazu ist der Bandeinlaufkanal 22 an einem Träger 40 angebracht, der auf der drehfesten Achse 30 schwenkbar gelagert und beispielsweise über eine Klemmschraube 42 in seiner jeweiligen Schwenklage fixierbar ist. In den Figuren 1 und 2 sind drei verschiedene Schwenklagen 22, 22', 22'' des Bandeinlaufkanals 22 dargestellt.The tape inlet channel 22 is different in relation to the deflection roller 20 Positions adjustable and preferably fixable in each. To the tape inlet channel 22 is attached to a carrier 40 which on the non-rotatable axis 30 pivotally mounted and for example via a Clamping screw 42 can be fixed in its respective pivot position. In the Figures 1 and 2 are three different pivot positions 22, 22 ', 22' 'of the Tape inlet channel 22 shown.

Auch der Bandauslaufkanal 24 ist relativ zur Umlenkrolle 20 in verschiedene Positionen verstellbar. Aus diesen einstellbaren, vorgebbaren Positionen ist der Bandauslaufkanal 24 vorzugsweise jeweils entgegen einer Federkraft auslenkbar. Dazu ist der Bandauslaufkanal 24 an einem Träger 44 angebracht, der auf der drehfesten Achse 30 schwenkbar gelagert und vorzugsweise federnd in einer vorgebbaren Schwenklage gehalten ist.The tape outlet channel 24 is also different in relation to the deflection roller 20 Positions adjustable. From these adjustable, predefinable positions the tape outlet channel 24 is preferably in each case opposite one Spring force deflectable. For this purpose, the tape outlet channel 24 is on a carrier 44 attached, which is pivotally mounted on the rotationally fixed axis 30 and is preferably resiliently held in a predeterminable pivot position.

Beim vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel ist zwischen dem dem Bandauslaufkanal 24 zugeordneten Träger 44 und einem auf der Achse 30 verstellbaren Klemmteil 46 (vgl. insbesondere die Figuren 2 bis 4) eine Zugfeder 48 vorgesehen, durch die der Träger 44 und damit der Bandauslaufkanal 24 federnd in der jeweils eingestellten vorgegebenen Schwenklage gehalten wird. Die jeweils gewünschte Schwenkausgangslage des Bandauslaufkanals 24 kann durch ein entsprechendes Verstellen des Klemmteils 46 auf der drehfesten Achse 30 eingestellt werden. Aus dieser eingestellten Ausgangsschwenklage kann der Bandauslaufkanal 24 dann entgegen der Kraft der Zugfeder 48 ausgelenkt werden, so daβ er Laufrichtungsänderungen des Kunststoffbandes 12, wie sie beispielsweise bei einem Umreifungsvorgang auftreten, folgen kann. Wie am besten anhand der Figur 3 zu erkennen ist, ist an dem Träger 44 sowie an dem Klemmteil 46 jeweils ein Zapfen 50 bzw. 52 vorgesehen, an dem ein jeweiliges Ende der Zugfeder 48 eingehängt ist.In the present embodiment there is between the tape outlet channel 24 assigned carrier 44 and an adjustable on the axis 30 Clamping part 46 (cf. in particular FIGS. 2 to 4) a tension spring 48 provided through which the carrier 44 and thus the tape outlet channel 24 resilient in the respectively set pivot position is held. The desired swivel starting position of the tape outlet channel 24 can be adjusted by adjusting the clamping part accordingly 46 can be set on the rotationally fixed axis 30. From this set The tape outlet channel 24 can then counteract the initial pivoting position the force of the tension spring 48 are deflected so that it changes direction of the plastic tape 12, such as in one Strapping process may occur. How best based on 3 can be seen, is on the carrier 44 and on the clamping part 46 a pin 50 or 52 is provided on each end the tension spring 48 is suspended.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 sind drei unterschiedliche, über das Klemmteil 46 einstellbare Ausgangspositionen 24, 24', 24'' des Bandauslaufkanals dargestellt.In Figures 1 and 2 are three different, via the clamping part 46th adjustable starting positions 24, 24 ', 24' 'of the tape outlet channel shown.

Die beiden Bandlaufkanäle 22, 24 können beispielsweise jeweils durch ein geschlossenes Profil gebildet sein. The two belt run channels 22, 24 can each, for example, by one closed profile be formed.

Der Bandeinlaufkanal 22 ist durch Befestigungsmittel 54 lösbar an dem zugeordneten Träger 40 befestigt.
