Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fiber baler with a device for strapping the fiber bale, which comprises at least a press plate and a counter-pressure plate and a feed device for the strapping material.
  • Pressed fiber bales must be strapped or strapped before exiting the press so as not to fall apart.
  • Flat metal strips are used for this purpose, which are connected to one another at their ends by means of spot welding. It is also known to use wires and to provide loops at their ends, which are used to fasten the wire ends to one another. Both the material consumption and the technical devices for binding the wires are very complex and expensive, with the added factor that some systems suffer from susceptibility to failure.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing measures by means of which fibrous material in the form of a bale can easily be strapped or held together.
  • the seal is, for example, a metal tube that is pressed by a pressing tool in such a way that it has several waves in the longitudinal direction.
  • the seal holds a multiple of the loads that occur or it can be loaded up to above the tear limit of the steel wire used in each case.
  • a fiber bale 1 according to FIG. 4 is strapped in the longitudinal direction with steel wires 2 and in the transverse direction with steel wires 3, the ends 4, 5 (FIG. 1) of which are fastened to one another with a seal 6.
  • the steel wires 2, 3 are non-directional, spring-hard steel, and a metal tube is used for the seal 6, as can be seen in FIG. 1.
  • the initial diameter is the inside diameter of the metal tube so large that the two ends 4 and 5 of the steel wires 2 and 3 can be easily inserted until they come out completely or almost again at the other end of the metal tube.
  • FIG. 3 shows various pressure points 7 on the surface of the seal 6 originating from a seal press tool.
  • a centrally located press ram 13 carries a press plate 14 which cooperates with a counter pressure plate 15 (Figs. 6 and 7).
  • the device 12 for strapping has for each steel wire 2 or 3 to be arranged in the longitudinal direction or transversely thereto on the fiber bale 1 (and correspondingly for the steel wires 8, but not shown) each a wire magazine or a wire reel 16, a feed device 17, a cutting device 18, a swivel device 19 with a bending device 20 and guide means 21 and finally a holding and closing device 22 for the steel wire still coming from the wire reel without being cut 2a and 3a respectively.
  • the parts 16-21 for the steel wires 3a are in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 on a carrier or carriage 23 which, in the working position and top view according to FIG. 5, the press plate 14 with the fiber bale 1 U-shaped embraces.
  • the carrier 23 is movable so that the fiber bale 1 is accessible after strapping and can be removed from the fiber baler 11.
  • the parts 16 to 20 for the steel wires 2a are located on a carrier or carriage 24 (FIGS. 5, 7) which can also be moved to and from the fiber baling press 11.
  • the function and mode of operation of the fiber baler 11 with the strapping device 12 is identical for the steel wires 2a or 3a and 8 and includes in detail the following measures, which are first explained with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
  • the feed device 17 pulls with its driven pull and tensioning rollers 25 the steel wire 2a from the roller 16 and pushes it through the cutting device 18 with the two knives 26, 27, from where the steel wire 2a reaches the bending device 20. From there, the steel wire 2a moves during threading through guide elements 28 and 29 with funnel-shaped inlets 30 to a guide channel 31 in the sheet pressure plate 15 and from there through the guide means 21 to the press plate 14.
  • This also has a guide channel 32 or guide means for each steel wire 2a with funnel-shaped inlet and the holding and closing devices 22.
  • the steel wire 2a, 3a not only changes its position in the area of the fiber bale 1 during tensioning, but also between its edge 33 and the next tension T and tensioning rollers 25 facing it, as can be seen from the position shown partially in broken lines in FIG. 6.
  • the cutting device 18 is mounted so as to be pivotable about an axis 34 at the level of the axes of the adjacent pulling and tensioning rollers 25. (Fig. 6).
  • the pivoting device 19 can also be pivoted towards the fiber bale 1 with the aid of a drive 35. It comprises a bent swivel arm 36 with the bending device 20, which is mounted eccentrically at its free end 37 and can be pivoted by a drive 38.
  • the bending device 20 grasps the steel wire 3a (FIG. 6) after tensioning and before cutting, and bends up its free end 4 the fiber bale 1, whereupon a metal tube serving as a seal 6 is released by a magazine 51 and slides over the free end 4 of the steel wire 3a.
  • the magazine 51 can be moved out of the path of movement of the bending device 20 with the aid of a drive 52, and as soon as this has been done, the pivoting device 19 pivots the steel wire 3a, which is still tensioned, until its end 4 engages in the holding and closing device 22 in the press plate 14 , as indicated in dash-dotted lines in FIG. 6.
  • the metal tube 6 is threaded onto the other end 5 of the steel wire 3a and is finally deformed into a seal 6 with the aid of a pressing tool 53, as can be seen from FIGS. 9 and 12 and the associated text.
  • the wire rolls 16, like the separating device 18 and the swiveling device 19, are mounted on stands 39 and 40, respectively, which are located on the carriers or carriages 23, 24.
  • the guide channels 41 and 42 essentially correspond to the guide channels 31, 32 in FIG. 7.
  • inserts 43 in the area of the other guide channel as guide means for the steel wires 2, 3 and 8.
  • inserts 43 or guide means are in each case two guide rails or guide strips 44 each abutting one another one, approximately semicircular and edge 45 bent towards one another.
  • the edges 45 form tubular half-shells and serve as a channel 46 for the steel wire 2.
  • the steel wires 3 and 8 located in other guide channels 41 and 42 and in other planes likewise lie between the semicircularly curved ones Edges of corresponding guide strips 44, as can be seen in principle from FIG. 8.
  • the ends or inlets 54 of the tubular edges 45 of the guide strips 44 are funnel-shaped, so that the free end of the steel wire finds its way automatically when it is pushed forward.
  • FIG. 9 shows, in section, further structural components inside the press plate 14 or in its guide channels 41, 42 in the plane of the steel wires 3. These are the holding and closing device 22 and the press tool 53 according to FIG. 6 as well as Parts of the bending device 20.
  • Both the bending device 20 and the holding and closing device 22 have a plurality of disks 56 which can be pivoted about an axis 55 according to FIG. 11 in order to hold the wire piece adjacent to the wire end 4 or 5.
  • Each of these disks 56 of the same design is pivoted freely on the common axis 55 and has a bore 57 through which a camshaft 58 with one cam 59 engages for each disk 56.
  • the camshaft 58 is driven in the bending device 20 according to FIG. 10 with the aid of a double-acting piston-cylinder device 62 and a lever 63.
  • the bending device 20 has an axis 55, a camshaft 58 and a lever for the clamping disks 56 of each steel wire 3 63, which are mounted, for example, on a support 64 in the form of a square tube.
  • the clamping disks 56 of the holding and closing device 22 sit according to FIG. 12 on an axis 55 which is mounted in a U-shaped carrier 65.
  • the camshaft 58 is also mounted in this carrier 65 and is driven by means of a pinion 66 and a rack 67 by a pneumatically or hydraulically operating piston-cylinder device 68.
  • the piston-cylinder device 68 pivots the clamping disks into the holding position and moves them back into the release position during the return stroke.
  • Each pressing tool 53 has a fixed jaw 69 and a jaw 71 which is movable by means of a piston-cylinder drive 70.
  • the pressing tools 53 are effective as soon as the one wire end 4 with the metal tube 6 serving as a seal has been pivoted into the guide channel 41 by the swivel device 19 and the bending device 20 and the other wire end 5 has also entered the metal tube 6.
  • the clamping disks 56 of the bending device 20 and the holding and closing device 22 are opened so that the steel wires 2, 3 and 8 can emerge from the guide channels 31 and 32 or 41, 42.
  • the bending device 20 is pivotally mounted on one end 72 of the swivel arm 36.
  • the bending device 20 therefore not only pivots about the bearing axis 73, but also moves along an arc (see dash-dotted line) at a distance a around the bearing axis 73. This measure is expedient so that the steel wires 2, 3 and 8 Apply to the fiber bale 1 in the desired manner and taut.
  • the invention is not limited to the specific embodiment shown in the figures, but manifold modifications can be made without deviating from the basic idea of the invention.
