Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for stacking tube sections for the production of sacks, with a transport device containing the Hose sections to a stacking station supplies.
  • a transport device containing the Hose sections to a stacking station supplies.
  • Such a device has been disclosed, for example, in GB-A-1,075,637.
  • sacks are needed that have multi-layered walls, For example, a wall with a layer of paper and at least one air-impermeable film layer.
  • An application example of such bags are Inflatable sacks used as cargo cushions when carrying cargo become.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a device, in particular also with hose sections made of pliable or multilayer material a clean stacking allows.
  • the transport device has an upper transport and a lower transport and that the lower transport formed in the stacking station by two endless conveyor belts which is above the stacking station outside the lateral edges of the Rotate hose sections and through at least two at regular intervals arranged cross member are connected, whose distances are the distances the leading edges of the successively supplied tube sections correspond.
  • the tube sections above the supplied to forming stack In each case, the leading edge of a Hose section between the upper transport and one of the Cross member of the bottom transport kept.
  • the stacking position When the stacking position is reached, reaches the cross member of the lower transport the pulley on which the conveyor belts be deflected, and consequently the clamping of the leading Edge between top feed and bottom feed lifted, so that the Hose section is dropped onto the stack.
  • the next Hose section is supplied with the following cross member, the runs deflected cross member at the bottom Trumm the conveyor belts back. He moves doing so on a train, which also still above the to be formed Stack is lying.
  • the invention also provides a method for stacking tube sections, in particular of multilayer material, for the production of sacces, in which a hose section with its leading edge clamping between a cross member of a bottom transport and a top transport held and fed to a position above the stacking station, while another cross member of the bottom feed, above the stacking station runs back to the upstream end of the transport device, the Keep trailing rear part of the hose section from the stack, until the leading edge of the first cross member is released and the tube section falls onto the stack.
  • the bottom feed has exactly two cross members which are diametrically opposed to each other are arranged on the conveyor belts.
  • the bottom feed reaches the downstream end of the conveyor something beyond the top transport, so that the released Hose section can fall freely on the stack.
  • the released hose section can be replaced by one or more leaf springs, which are stationarily arranged in the upper transport, depressed in the direction of the stack so that the laying of the tube section on the stack is accelerated.
  • the flush tray of tube sections on the stack can be through at the stacking table arranged attacks are supported.
  • the stacking table formed by a conveyor, with which the stack are removed can as soon as the desired stack height is reached.
  • the transport device arranged above the stacking station is preferably downstream of a separator, in which the endless tube in individual hose sections is divided.
  • the transport speed of Transport device above the storage station is preferably larger than the Transport speed at which the hose is fed to the separator becomes.
  • the bottom feed must be synchronized with the supply of the tube sections be that each cross member coincides with the leading edge of a supplied hose section at the upstream end of the transport device arrives. Because of the acceleration between the individual Hose sections resulting gaps from the difference in transport speed are dependent, can the distances between the leading Edges of successive tube sections to the solid Adjust the distance between the cross members of the bottom feed.
  • the separator preferably designed as a tear-off, with which the individual material layers of the Hose are demolished at pre-formed perforation.
  • the transport means of the stacking device at the upstream End of an inlet section, in which the vertical distance between narrowed the top transport and subtransport, until finally the leading edge of the hose section is clamped.
  • the nip is preferably defined by a pinch roller which is adjustable in the longitudinal direction is, so that an adaptation to different lengths of the tube sections is possible.
  • the stacking device shown in Figure 1 has a stacking station 10, above derer a transport device 12 with an upper transport 14 and a Underfeed 16 is arranged.
  • An endless, multi-layer hose 18 is from the right in Figure 1 with the aid of upper and lower conveyor belts 20, 22 supplied.
  • the walls of the hose 18 consist of several layers of material, the advance, preferably in the longitudinal direction slightly staggered positions have been perforated.
  • the hose 18 enters a tear-off 24, which is also formed by upper and lower conveyor belts 26, 28 becomes.
  • the transport speed of the tear-off head 24 is at least phased greater than the transport speed of the conveyor belts 20, 22, so that in the tube 18, a tensile stress is generated. If the mentioned Perforation point the space between the downstream end of the Conveyor belts 20, 22 and the upstream end of the Abr adoptedkopfes 24th achieved, this tension causes a hose portion 30 of the endless hose 18 is demolished.
  • the leading edge of the hose section 30 is at this moment already entered an inlet section 32 of the transport device 12.
  • the inlet section is formed by several parallel upper and lower conveyor belts 34. 36 formed whose transport speed with the Abr contemplatkopfes 24 matches.
  • the vertical distance between the upper conveyor belts 34 and the lower conveyor belts 36 takes in the transport direction gradually, so that a safe insertion of the leading edge of the Hose section 30 is made possible.
  • a pinch roller 38 directs the lower Trumm the upper conveyor belts 34 slightly downwards, so that the leading Edge of the tube portion 30 about the moment pinching is detected in the demolished the trailing edge of the endless hose becomes.
  • the pinch roller 38 is adapted to the length of the tube sections 30 length-adjustable.
  • the transport path formed by the inlet section 32 is slightly upwards inclined, so that the tube sections during further transport a certain amount reach 10 above the stacking station.
  • the top feed 14 In the area above the stacking station is the top feed 14 by several parallel, horizontally extending Conveyor belts 14 formed, with the conveyor belts 34 a guide roller 42 in common.
  • the bottom feed 16 is here by two conveyor belts 44 formed, which run over two guide rollers 46 and the, as clear can be seen in Figure 2, outside the lateral edges of the tube sections 30 lie.
  • the conveyor belts 44 are only in two places Cross members 48, 50 are connected and by positive drives (eg. Timing belt) synchronized.
  • the cross members 48, 50 are on the conveyor belts 44 arranged in diametrically opposite positions so that they on both Because along the conveyor belts 44 have equal distances from each other and thus simultaneously reach the guide rollers 46 at the same time.
  • the leading edge of a hose section 30th clamped by the conveyor belts 40 of the upper transport and by the Cross member 48 held.
  • the trailing back end of this Hose section 30 rests on the other cross member 50, the lower Trumm the conveyor belts 44 to the upstream guide roller 46 runs back.
  • the hose portion 30 is formed from an already formed Stack 52 kept away from hose sections in the stacking station 10 is on a trained as a conveyor stacking table 54.
  • the stacking device is shown in plan view. Because of Clarity on the supply side, only the upper conveyor belts 20, 36 and 34 shown with their respective guide rollers. In the downstream Area, however, the transport straps 44 of the lower transport are located. It can be seen that the distance between these conveyor belts 44th is greater than the width of the supplied tube section 30, so that the Hose section, when released, between these conveyor belts 44 fall through and can reach the stack 52.
  • the filing of the Hose section 30 on the stack 52 is supported by leaf springs 56, in the longitudinal direction between the conveyor belts 40 of the upper transport extend and are fixed to a stationary support 58, that with their free ends in the area of the leading edge on the Press hose section 30.
  • FIG. 3 shows the stacking device in a state which is somewhat later in time is the state shown in FIG.
  • the upper cross member 48 is straight here the downstream end of the top feed 14 passes so that the Hose section 30 is supported by the action of the leaf springs 56 on the Stack 52 drops.
  • the hose section still has a certain speed component in the direction of movement, but at the preferred transport speed the transport device 12 (preferably less than 60 m per Minute) is small, so that the hose section in register on the stack 52 comes to rest. If necessary, the alignment will be on the stack supported by a stopper 60 fixedly mounted on the stacking table 54 is.
  • FIG. 4 shows the state at an even later time.
  • the cross member 48 has just been deflected at the deflection roller 46 and now runs on the Bottom of bottom feed back.
  • the other cross member 50 reaches the appropriate position on top of the bottom feed, where he now together with the conveyor belts 40 of the top transport the detected leading edge of the next tube section 30, the timely is supplied from the inlet section 32.
  • This hose section will now moved on from. If its trailing edge is the rear guide roller 46 of the subtransport has passed and falls down, it gets through caught the returning cross member 48 so that they do not interfere with the stack 52 comes into contact. Finally, the state shown in FIG. 1 is restored achieved so that a new cycle can begin.
  • the length of the tube sections 30 vary within certain limits, as the distance between the cross members 48 and 50 not with the exact length of the hose sections but rather, with the distances between the leading edges of the successive ones Hose sections must match. Shorter lengths of the Hose sections can thus by correspondingly larger spaces be compensated.
  • the bottom feed 16 may also be more as two evenly distributed over the length of the conveyor belts 44 cross member exhibit.
  • the tube sections 30 become larger Length transported before they are stored on the stack.
  • the crossbeams 48, 50 may then be releasably secured to the transport straps 44, so that their number varies.
