Definitions
- the present invention concerns a system for load unit creation, and more specifically a system based on two or more stations used to form the load units.
- Each load unit is formed of one or more separate packages.
- the system and method for creation of load units should preferably fulfil a number of demands.
- one object is that the system and method should be relatively easy to adapt to different situations, both concerning the level of automation and the form and size of the packages forming each load unit.
- a further object is that the system and method should be possible to form, to run and maintain at a reasonable cost.
- Still a further object is that the system and method should function with different transport means.
- a system for load unit creation comprises two or more stations for forming the load units.
- a first station is used to collect and place one or more packages to form a suitable load unit.
- loading ledges are placed on the load units and one or more straps and/or stretch wrapping are wound around the load units.
- FIGS. 1 a to 1 i show different load units formed by using the present invention
- FIG. 2 shows a part of the system for creating load units according to the present invention.
- FIG. 3 shows one embodiment of the system of the present invention in a schematic way.
- the system and method of the present invention is based on the presumption that packages 1 of different sizes and shapes are used to form load units 4 . Even tough the shown packages 1 all are of a general rectangular form, a person skilled in the art realises that it is possible to form load units 4 of packages having other general forms.
- the present invention is based on the use of several stations 8 - 10 , in which the load units 4 are successively formed.
- a first station 8 one or more packages 1 are collected and placed in the form of each desired final load unit 4 .
- a second station 9 at least one loading ledge 2 is placed at each of two opposite lower edges of the load unit 4 .
- straps 7 and/or stretch wrapping or the like are wound one or more turns around the load unit 4 , including the loading ledges 2 .
- the loading ledges 2 used are normally of the kind described in PCT/DK01/00748 or any corresponding load members.
- the loading ledges 2 have a generally L-shaped cross section.
- the loading ledges 2 are to be placed at a lower edge of a package or the like, in such a way that one part of each loading ledge 2 is placed under the package and one part along the side of said package.
- the part of the loading ledge 2 to be placed under the packages has protrusions to allow a lifting and/or transport means to be slid in under the package.
- the load units 4 are to be formed of several small packages 1 , there may be a need for further stations.
- Such further stations may include stations where subunits each furnished with loading ledges 2 are formed. (See e.g. FIGS. 1 c and 1 f .)
- the subunits may be furnished with straps, but it is normally not necessary. A number of subunits are then forward to a station for forming of the final load units 4 . It is also possible to have different stations for straps 7 and stretch wrapping. As indicated in FIGS. 1 g and 1 h a plate may be placed at the bottom of the load unit 4 , if a large number of small packages 1 form the load unit 4 .
- the packages 1 and load units may be transported to and between said stations in many different ways. Furthermore, the different stations may be totally or partly manual and/or automatic.
- the expression “totally automatic”, as used in this description, means that all actual handling of the packages 1 or load units 4 is done by a machine, robot or the like, which on the other hand may be driven automatically or be controlled by a person.
- the packages 1 are normally stored in some kind of ware house.
- the first station 8 is normally placed in or adjacent the ware house or the like. In said first station 8 the appropriate number of packages 1 to form a load unit are collected.
- the load units 4 of the present invention may be formed of one single package 1 or by many packages 1 . The desired size of the finished load units will govern the number of packages 1 used for each separate load unit 4 .
- the packages 1 forming the load unit 4 are collected on a conveyor 6 .
- the load units 4 are brought to the second station 9 .
- the load units 4 are received in a machine 5 , in which each loading unit 4 is furnished with loading ledges 2 , in a more or less automatic fashion.
- the loading ledges 2 are furnished in a more manual way (not shown).
- the loading unit 4 with loading ledges 2 is then transported away from the machine 5 , by means of a further conveyor 6 .
- the form of the conveyors may vary, thus bands, belts, rollers, wheels etc. may be used.
- the load units 4 may be transported to and from the machine 5 by any other suitable means, such as industrial trucks, cranes traverses etc.
- a suitable number of loading ledges 2 are added to the load units 4 .
- FIG. 1 it is schematically shown that depending on package size, the sensitivity of the contents etc. the number of loading ledges 2 on each side may vary and loading ledges may be placed on several different heights and widths in each loading unit 4 .
- the load units are brought to the third station 10 .
- the load units are furnished with straps 7 and/or stretch wrapping or the like.
- a machine well known in the art, is used to furnish the load units 4 with straps 7 , stretch wrapping or the like.
- the load units 4 When the load units 4 leave the third station 10 , they are ready for transport in any suitable way. Thus, the load units 4 are forward to a container, lorry, truck or any other means of transportation.
