Title: Ring wrapping apparatus including metered pre-stretch film delivery assembly
Inventor: ELDRIDGE DAVID E
IPC: B65B11/00
Filed: 2007-02-23
Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for dispensing a predetermined fixed amount of pre-stretched packaging material based upon load girth. A non-rotating ring carries a belt driven by a motor. A packaging material dispenser is mounted on a rotating ring, and the rotating ring may include a pulley that connects to the band, such that the rotating ring is driven by the drive belt. Based upon the girth of the load to be wrapped, an amount of pre-stretched packaging material to be dispensed for each revolution made by the rotating ring is determined. Good wrapping performance in terms of load containment (wrap force) and optimum packaging material use is obtained by dispensing a length of pre-stretched packaging material that is between approximately 90% and approximately 120% of load girth. Once the amount of packaging material to be dispensed per revolution is determined, a ratio of rotating ring drive to final pre-stretch surface speed (i.e., number of pre-stretch roller revolution/ rotating ring rotation) can be set and mechanically controlled. Thus, for each revolution of the rotating ring and dispenser, a predetermined fixed amount of packaging material is dispensed and wrapped around the load. In an alternative embodiment, the ratio is electronically controlled.

Inventor: YAO JIANSHE
IPC: E21B34/02

Abstract: The present invention relates to an oil and gas collection and transmission system for petroleum, chemical industry and so on. A multi-way valve with fan-shaped flow channel sealing pair measures in turn the production of an individual well to obtain the dynamic production data of an oil well. The multi-way valve with fan-shaped flow channel sealing pair includes a floating gating ring that is applied with contact specific pressure by an elastic component and an upper porous plane body form a gating plane sealing pair; a plurality of fan-shaped flow channel oil inlet holes are annularly and uniformly distributed on a mating surface of the upper porous plane body; the floating gating ring is configured such that it changes gradually from the upper fan-shaped flow channel to the lower round-shaped flow channel; and the inner part of the middle rotary spool is used as a public flow-guide passage. In order to realize the rotary gating for measurement, the inner public flow-guide metering passage of the middle rotary spool may be in communication with a certain fan-shaped flow channel oil inlet hole located in the mating surface of the upper porous plane body when the middle rotary spool is rotated by electrical power or manual power to a certain angle. The floating gating ring may be pre-exerted by an elastic force to make the sealing face self-sealed under a contact specific pressure.  The multi-way valve may have a compact structure. The flow channels may be formed by casting. The sands carried in the fluid can not enter into the sealing face easily when the fluid flows down from the top to the bottom. The precise processing can be executed in the planar mechanism easily, thereby enabling a lower machining cost, reliable sealing and a longer working life.
