Definitions

  • the invention relates to a strapping machine for strapping a stack of goods, in particular a magazine stack o. The like., By means of a strapping.
  • Conventional strapping machines have a work table on which a longitudinal and / or Querumreifungs noticed is arranged.
  • the latter are usually provided with a closed tape guide frame, in which the stack is retracted.
  • Llindsumreifung it is necessary to remove the standing in the transport path guide channel sections of the tape guide frame in a suitable manner from the transport path, so that the stack can be retracted along its transport path in the tape guide frame.
  • the invention has the object, a strapping machine so that a reliable and clean transport of the stack, especially in its not yet strapped state, is guaranteed.
  • control device for the defined control of the transport device with respect to the speed of the guide walls and position of the feed tabs.
  • defined control is to be understood that during the entire operation of the transport device is a monitoring of the position of the feed tabs and the speed of the guide walls. This makes it possible to operate the transport device continuously so that the stack is treated optimally. This includes, for example, that in the transfer of the stack of goods from a Ausschub adopted a positioned in front of the strapping machine according to the invention component, e.g. a packaging line, a practically “flying change" of the stack of goods in the transport device of the strapping machine can be done.
  • the guide walls can be adapted in their speed to the inlet speed of the stack. At the same time, a control can be done so that the feed tabs virtually "catch up" from the inlet side of the stack and gently drive up from behind to the stack. The latter thus experiences no shocks due to a stop on stationary guide or stop elements in the retraction of the strapping machine.
  • packet stops are provided which define the strapping position of the stack in the machine. Also in connection with these machine elements can be ensured with the help of the transport device according to the invention a gentle approach. At the same time, the feed tabs serve as a rebound-proof against a back-speeding of the stack elements caused by the packet stop.
  • the packaging line designated as a whole by 1 adjoins the crosslapper 2 of a printing line.
  • a certain number of printed products D is inserted with a first orientation of the binding margin in the stacker 2, after which the stacker 2 is rotated about a vertical axis by 180 ° and in turn the specific number of printed products in the same orientation of the binding margin are inserted.
  • the stacker 2 is rotated about a vertical axis by 180 ° and in turn the specific number of printed products in the same orientation of the binding margin are inserted.
  • it forms a stack of products in which partial stacks have an opposite orientation of the binding margin.
  • the latter has four combination components 6, 7, 8, 9, which are explained in more detail below.
  • the components 6, 7, 8, 9 have in common that they have table or cabinet-like frames 10, which form a working surface 11 with their tops. These are in turn arranged in a common conveying plane F for the magazine stack 4.
  • the combination component 6 directly adjoining the stacker 2 combines a first strapping machine 12 and a cover sheet applicator 13, which hangs a cover sheet 14 from the side onto the stack 4 retracted into the first component 6.
  • the cover sheet applicator 13 is of conventional design and therefore needs no further discussion.
  • the first strapping machine 12 is of a type that does not have any band channel portions vertically upstanding from the work surface 11. Insofar is in the Fig. 1 at a distance above the working surface 11, only one guide channel section 15 with a catching device 16 for the strapping 17 is shown. This catcher 16 is assigned as an additional tape feed device an intermediate drive 16 'for the band.
  • This type of strapping device is in the German Offenlegungsschrift DE 195 03 112 A1 or the European Patent EP 0 725 005 B1 comprehensively and extensively described in function and structure. Therefore, it should be noted here only briefly that the strap 17 is conveyed by a tape supply spool 18 in a buffer, not shown.
  • the tape is shot over a first free air gap LF1 between the working surface 11 and the catching device 16, from the latter taken up and transported in the guide channel section 15 by means of the intermediate drive 16 'in order to emerge again at the opposite end of the guide channel section 15 and to be shot down into a second catching device 19 via the second free air section LF2.
  • the belt loop is closed and separated from the incoming tape supply after the tensioning of so loosely placed around the stack 4 strapping tape.
  • the two pressing bars 20 are pressed onto the stack 4 from above, in order to keep them compacted during the strapping process taking place thereafter.
  • the two lateral guide and transport walls 21 which are designed in the manner of an endless conveyor belt and provided with feed tabs 22.
  • These feed tabs 22 run behind the maneuvered from the pusher 5 of the stacker 2 on the work surface 11 stack 4 and push it against the laterally retractable packet stop 23.
  • the feed tabs 22 and Package stop 23 run clean and can not fall over.
  • Each guide wall 21 has in each case on the inlet and outlet side with respect to the working surface 11 about a vertical axis rotatable deflection rollers 38, 39, of which in the conveying direction R front rollers 39 by a motor 41 are driven driven.
  • an endless belt 40 is pulled in each case, to each of which a single, plate-shaped feed tab 22 is attached.
  • the endless belts 40 and feed tabs 22 are so positioned and controlled driven that they synchronously - so in each handling step of the transport device at the same longitudinal position - are driven.
  • Motor 41 and controller 42 are in Fig. 2 Block diagram indicated schematically by dashed rectangles. The properties of the controller 42 with regard to the drive of the guide walls 21 and thus the feed tabs 22 have already been discussed in detail in the introduction and need not be discussed again.
  • the deflection rollers 38, 39 are further mounted on a Querverstell friendship 43, by means of which the two guide walls 21 are mounted in their lateral distance a to the work table formed from the lower frame 10 and work surface 11.
  • a Querverstell listening 43 With the help of this Querverstell listening 43, the strapping device can thus be adapted to different formats of the magazine stack 4.
  • the strapping device can thus be adapted to different formats of the magazine stack 4.
  • the guide walls 21 in the conveying direction R practically over the entire length 1 of the work surface 11 of the magazine stack 4 is guided cleanly throughout its passage through the strapping machine 12.
  • the stack 4 comes from the first combination component. 6 through the outlet conveyor belts 24 out, which is synchronized with the second combination component 7 - a Folieneintsch sensible - so that the movement of the outlet conveyor belt 24 simultaneously defines the insertion of the stack 4 in the Folieneintsch vibration 7.
  • the stack 4 moves against a "curtain" of the packaging film 25, which can thus be brought under, before, on and by a corresponding method of the upper supply roll 26 for the packaging film 25 behind the stack 4. Subsequently, the stack 4 is welded at its back by the welding bar 36 in the combination component 7. The pages remain open.
  • the welding bar 36 can run synchronously in the direction of arrow 37 with the stack 4, so that for the welding of the stack 4 does not have to be stopped.
  • the film tube formed by the packaging film 25 around the stack 4 can also be welded on the sides, the front and rear sides of the stack 4 then remaining open.
  • the wrapped stack 4 passes into the third combination component 8, which combines a side sealer 28 with a second strapping device 29.
  • Corresponding components are provided with matching, apostrophized reference numerals.
  • the side sealer 28 has welding bars 30 with spot welding units 31. Due to the arrangement of the side of the conveyor belts 34 of the functional component 8 so there is a spot welding on the sides of the packaging film. This spot welding is performed only at very low stacks. Higher stacks obtained by the strapping device 29 a Lzansumreifung after film wrapping in the functional component. 7
