Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Kompaktiervorrichtung für Rücknahmeautomaten zur Kompaktierung von Leergut mit Mitteln zum Zuführen des Leerguts (6) entlang einer Zuführrichtung (7) zu einem Verkleinerungsort (5), mit einer an dem Verkleinerungsort (5) angeordneten Schneideinheit (2) und mit einem Gegenhalter(3) zum Verkleinern des Leerguts (6) im Volumen quer zur Zuführrichtung (7), wobei der Gegenhalter (3) über eine Federeinheit (4) quer zur Zuführrichtung (7) vorgespannt angeordnet ist, wobei die Federeinheit (4) derart ausgebildet ist, dass bei Auslenkung des Gegenhalters (3), ausgehend von einer Nulllage, in einem ersten Auslenkungsbereich (18) der Gegenhalter (3) mit einer ansteigenden Federkraft beaufschlagt wird, und dass nach Überschreiten einer Übergangsauslenkung durch den Gegenhalter (3) dieser bei weiterer Auslenkung in einem zweiten Auslenkungsbereich (19) mit einer Federkraft beaufschlagt wird, deren Federkraftanstieg (D) kleiner ist als ein Federkraftanstieg (D1) in dem ersten Auslenkungsbereich (18).

The invention relates to a compacting device for automatic reverse vending machines for compacting empties with means for feeding the empties (6) along a feed direction (7) to a reduction site (5), with a cutting unit (2) arranged at the reduction site (5) and with an anvil (3) for reducing the empties (6) in the volume transversely to the feed direction (7), wherein the counter-holder (3) via a spring unit (4) is arranged biased transversely to the feed direction (7), wherein the spring unit (4) is formed in that upon deflection of the counter-holder (3), starting from a zero position, the counter-holder (3) is acted upon by a rising spring force in a first deflection region (18), and that after a transitional deflection by the counter-holder (3) is exceeded, this is deflected further is acted upon in a second deflection region (19) with a spring force whose spring force increase (D) is smaller than a spring force increase (D1) in the first deflection region (18).
