Abstract

Palletizing device for palletizing flat objects, e.g. tiles or the like, with devices for assembling lying stacks from the objects supplied in an upright position and for assembling a number of adjacent stacks to form a package. The device is characterized according to the invention by a stapling device for stapling together the objects forming a stack by means of a self-adhesive tape that completely wraps around the stack and by a binding device for binding a number of adjacent stacks to form a palletable package.

Description

the free end of a self-adhesive tape guided in the stapling device 8 on the front side of a to attach the stack formed from a certain number of the upright objects and to connect Press on and cut off the adhesive strips that have been led around the stack.

The double belt conveyor 7 is driven by a motor 10 and transfers the stapled Stack on a collecting device in the form of a roll table 11. For this purpose are the load-bearing straps of the double belt conveyor extended to between the rollers of the roller table Above the roller table 11 and an extension 12 of the same is a binding device 13 for binding in each case from a number of stacks formed packages suspended from a bridge 14 in a floating manner

The device described thus enables selectively determinable numbers to be stapled together of objects to individual stacks and the integration of optionally determinable numbers of such stacks to palletizable packages. As a result, the device according to the invention offers considerable advantages for The manufacture and packaging of tiles and the like. The most important of which can be seen in the fact that the packaged Objects without the risk of damage with little time and construction effort can be made ready for shipment.

Claims (1)

Claim: Device for packaging flat objects, in particular tiles, tiles or the like., With a first conveyor device, with a turning device for turning along the first conveyor device fed objects, with one located near the end of the first conveyor Stacking device for gripping the incoming objects in order to keep them in an upright position Position in batches on a second conveyor device connected to the first conveyor device to transfer with the formation of stacks each containing a certain number of objects, and with one that is connected to the second conveyor device and that follows one another Stacking the upright objects loaded collecting device for collation a certain number of adjacent stacks to form a palletable package, characterized by a stapling device arranged in the region of the second conveyor device (7) (8, 9) for stapling the upright objects together in a stack by means of a self-adhesive tape that completely wraps around the stack, and one in the area the collecting device (11, 12) arranged under the control of one of the supplied stacks triggered signal, activatable binding device (13, 14) for binding the from the stacks formed packages. The invention relates to a device for packaging flat objects, in particular Tiles, tiles or the like., With a first conveyor device, with a turning device for turning articles fed along the first conveyor, with one near the end of the first conveyor arranged stacking device for gripping the arriving objects in order to place them in a upright position in batches on a second conveyor adjoining the first conveyor to transfer with the formation of stacks each containing a certain number of objects, and with one of the second conveying device adjoining the latter with successive stacks the upright objects loaded collecting device for collecting a certain Number of adjacent stacks to form a palletable package. With such a device, as it is known from DE-OS 31 43 378, are particularly sensitive or objects at risk of breakage, such as B. tiles, tiles and the like. To stack and side by side arranged stacks are combined into palletizable packages, which are then sent for shipping, for example by wrapping with wrapping paper. The latter process takes place either on the roller table trained collecting device only by hand or at another point to which the packets are transferred must be, also manually or mechanically by means of an additional machine arrangement. Disadvantageous What is part of the known device is that the packets which can be in the stalls and dalettables on their edges upright tiles as they pass through the device and while it is being handled Before and during the preparation for shipment, it can easily tip over due to a lack of cohesion and be damaged in the process become or break. Another disadvantage is the disproportionately large Time required to get ready for dispatch in the case of manual implementation or when the Use of an additional machine arrangement for machine implementation. It is the object of the invention to develop a device of the type mentioned in such a way that Objects passing through without the risk of damage and with little expenditure of time and construction can be machined ready for dispatch. This is achieved through one in the area of the second Stapling device arranged on a conveyor for stapling the upright objects together one stack at a time by means of a self-adhesive adhesive strip that completely wraps around the stack, and by one arranged in the area of the collecting device, under the control of one of the supplied Stacking triggered signal, activatable binding device for binding the packages formed from the stacks. Each stack of upright objects is attached by means of the stapler Adhesive strips held together so that the objects cannot be damaged by tipping them over as well as loss of time due to the removal of damaged objects are excluded. By means of the binding device stacks arranged next to one another are created by integrating them within the device according to the invention machined ready for dispatch. This is compared to manual and machine Carrying out this process according to the state of the art requires considerably less time and effort Elimination of the additional machine arrangement to be recorded. It is known from DE-OS 23 58 579 to pack labels in stacks in such a way that the individual stacks are connected to form a stable unit by means of adhesive strips. From DE-AS 10 39 920 a device is also known with which stacks of plates are tied. However, this prior art could not suggest to the person skilled in the art to provide a generic device with the stapling and binding device according to the invention.
In the following, an embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to the drawing, the single figure of which is an oblique view of a device for packaging flat objects in a preferred embodiment of the invention.
The device shown in the drawing comprises the following main parts: a horizontal first conveyor device in the form of a belt conveyor 1, a turning device 2 for turning objects transported on the belt conveyor, a stacking device 3 with a pneumatic drive 4, a crank link 5 driven by a motor 6 and a second conveyor device in the form of a parallel double belt conveyor 7 for transporting the objects in an upright position. In the starting area of the double belt conveyor 7, a stapling device 8 is arranged with which a Holding device 9 cooperates. This is used for this.
