  • the foil used to increase the Packaging security can also be pre-stretched, has essentially the The task is to keep the items safely on the pallet.
  • the foil usually wound as a 40 to 60 cm wide film strip on a roll is often wrapped by hand around the pallet.
  • winding devices such as pallet wrapping machines, by which an automatic wrapping of the pallet with foil is carried out can.
  • Such winding devices have for receiving the film roll one Roll holder on.
  • the roll holder is a rotatable shaft on which the film roll is attached.
  • the film is unwound from the roll of film.
  • the management device may be also act around a role.
  • the pressure roller is equipped with a braking device connected. This makes it possible, preferably with soft rubber Brake coated coating roller.
  • Electromagnetic brakes are constructive complicated and therefore expensive.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a winding device for wrapping in particular arranged on a pallet objects with foil and a Braking device for to provide such winding devices, wherein the braking of a Pressure roller by a structurally simple and inexpensive construction he follows.
  • the object is achieved by a winding device according to claim 1 or a braking device according to claim 2.
  • the winding device has a roll holder for Receiving a film rolls and a guide device for guiding the of the film roll unwound film.
  • the pressure roller preferably has one Slipping of the film preventing coating, in particular a Soft rubber coating, on.
  • the pressure roller with a connected to the first brake element, wherein against the first brake element a second brake element for clamping the film is pressed.
  • Brake element is, for example, a brake disc and against the brake disc pushing brake shoes.
  • a clamping device provided, which is preferably connected to the first brake element, wherein by the tensioning device, the two brake elements compressible are.
  • the clamping device according to the invention a clamping lever, wherein by operating the tension lever, i. for example, by turning or Relocation of the clamping lever in a braking position, a defined braking force is produced.
  • the invention relates to a braking device for a winding device for wrapping objects arranged in particular on a pallet with foil.
  • the braking device has a pressure roller for tensioning the film, one connected to the pressure roller first brake element and a second Braking element, which is used to tension the film against the first brake element is depressible, up.
  • the Brake device according to the invention also a clamping device for Compressing the brake elements, wherein the tensioning device a Has clamping lever, so that by pressing the clamping lever in a Braking a defined braking force is generated.
  • the brake device has the same advantages as the winding device described above.
  • the clamping lever is firmly connected to a clamping element.
  • the Clamping element according to the invention is designed such that by turning, i. Actuating or moving the clamping lever together with the clamping element in the braking position, the braking elements are pressed against each other.
  • the clamping element preferably has at least one clamping surface.
  • the clamping surface is at a distance to the axis of rotation of the clamping lever arranged. By turning or pressing the clamping lever becomes the clamping surface thus rotated about the axis of rotation of the clamping lever and in the braking position brought. Due to the distance of the clamping surface to the axis of rotation of Clamping lever takes place when turning the clamping lever in the braking position automatically squeezing the two brake elements.
  • the clamping element at least two clamping surfaces, which at a different distance to Rotary axis are arranged. Because of the different distance it is possible, different pressure forces between the two brake elements to create. Due to the clamping surface, which is a greater distance to the axis of rotation has a greater braking force is generated when the clamping lever so is actuated that this clamping surface is pivoted in the braking position. In particular, it is possible to have several clamping surfaces with different ones Provide distances to the axis of rotation, so that the braking force in several Steps is adjustable. It is also possible, the clamping element as an eccentric form, so that the individual clamping surfaces merge into each other.
  • the clamping surface presses preferably against a contact surface, the part of one of the two brake elements is or is connected to one of the two brake elements.
  • a spring element provided between the Clamping device, in particular the clamping element and the first or second brake element.
  • the spring element at it is an elastic body or preferably a coil spring act by operating the tensioning device, i. by flipping of the clamping lever, compressed. By the force of the spring element takes place thus the compression of the two brake elements.
  • the tensioning device i. when turning the clamping lever from the Brake position in an untensioned position
  • by the spring element ensures that the two brake elements are pressed apart.
  • the film with low friction pulled between the guide device and the pressure roller be attached for example, to the objects to be wrapped become. Thereafter, then takes place a folding of the clamping lever in or a the brake positions to the desired braking force and thus the desired To create tension of the film.
  • a winding device for wrapping, for example, on a pallet 10 arranged objects 12, such as stacked Cartons, has a receiving device 14. On the recording device 14, the pallet is arranged. As a receiving device 14 is for example a Turntable provided which is rotatable about an axis 16. Furthermore, the Winding device on a winding tower 18. The winding tower 18 carries a Roller holder 20 which is vertically displaceable in the direction of the arrow 22. From the roll holder 20, the film roll 24 is supported. By turning the pallet 10 together with the boxes 12 about the axis 16 is a film 26 to the Wrapped cartons. By simultaneously moving the roll holder 20 in vertical direction is the wrapping of the cartons over the entire height. Usually, a height sensor is provided by which the height of the on the Pallet 10 stacked objects is perceived. By the Height sensor, the vertical displacement of the film roll 24 is limited.
  • the roller holder 26 has a substantially L-shaped holding part 28, the a mandrel 30 carries, on which the film roll 24 can be plugged.
  • the film roll 24 is usually rotatable together with the mandrel 30 with the bracket 28th connected.
  • the roll holder 28 is connected to a chain 32. By Drive the chain 32 is a vertical displacement of the roll holder 20 in Direction of the arrow 22 (Fig. 1) possible.

Of the Tensioning lever 46 is rotatably mounted in a shaft 50 of the pressure roller 42. in this connection the axis of rotation 52 of the lever 46 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the Pressure roller 42. With the lever 46, a clamping element 54 is firmly connected. The Clamping element 54 presses with a first clamping surface 56 in the in FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrated brake position against a contact surface 58 of a annular, the shaft 50 surrounding transmission part 60. Of the Transmission part 60 is transmitted to a force spring 62, the shaft 50th surrounds and between the transmission part 60 and fixed to the bracket 28th connected bracket 40 is arranged.
  • the brake device 44 is easy to operate.
  • the lever 46 By Turning the lever 46 in the direction of an arrow 68 (FIG. 4) becomes the Clamping element 54, for example, rotated in Fig. 4 by 90 ° to the left. hereby is located on the contact surface 58 of the transmission part 60, a surface 70 of the Clamping element 54 at. Since the surface 70 to the axis of rotation 52 of the clamping lever 46th has a small distance than the clamping surface 56 to the rotation axis 52, There is a relaxation of the spring 62.
