Description

The invention relates to a method and an unification unit for combining goods to be packaged and a packaging blank in an inserter.

From the production of goods, in particular magazines, (advertising) brochures, or letters, and the packaging to the finished, packaged product go through both the goods to be packaged and the packaging many different stations. In this case, the production of the goods and the production of the packaging is usually locally separated from each other and this only when inserting manually or automatically united by an inserter. However, such a decentralized production of the individual packaging components leads to additional production costs, including due to transport and storage costs, and longer production times, including due to the transport routes, or production losses, if the goods or packaging material is not in stock and only externally must be ordered.

Newer inserting systems try to take over individual production steps in the production of the goods or the packaging and thus to reduce the production times and production costs. As a rule, the production of the goods, in particular the printing, the cutting and the sorting of the blank, is taken over by a separate production unit and the goods are fed directly to the inserting machine. This good is then automatically placed by the inserter in provided packaging. A disadvantage of this type of inserter is further that the packaging must be made externally and thus incur additional transport and storage costs.

In other inserting systems, both the production of the goods and the production of the packaging are taken over by the inserting machine. In this case, a material web is printed by an external printing unit in such a way that first the complete good is printed on the material web, for example individual sheets of a letter, before a packaging blank, for example an envelope with an address field, is printed on the material web. This finished material web with several goods and packaging blanks in exchange is then added to the inserter, which cuts the material web according to the goods and the packaging blanks and then combines both. A disadvantage of this method is that the goods and the packaging blanks are always made of the same material by the common material web. Such a limitation of the materials is not desirable in many cases.

The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method and a union unit, through which a particularly simple and complete wrapping of the goods is made possible by a packaging blank. Care should be taken in particular to ensure that the goods to be packaged and the packaging are fed separately in the form of a packaging blank.

With regard to the method, this object is achieved according to the invention by providing a transfer belt transporting the transfer belt with a first transport speed and the goods transporting second conveyor belt is provided with a second transport speed and the good is absorbed by the second conveyor belt by a third conveyor belt while the material is accelerated and then the speed of the goods is adapted to the first transport speed and the good is stored on the packaging blank.

With respect to the union unit, the object is achieved according to the invention by the inserter comprising a transfer belt transporting the transfer belt with a first transport speed and a second transport belt transporting the goods at a second transport speed and a third conveyor belt with a third transport speed, wherein the third conveyor belt a number of third Gripping arms for receiving the goods from the second conveyor belt and is designed to adapt the transport speed of the recorded material to the first transport speed.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The invention is based on the consideration that a particularly simple, secure and customizable wrapping of the goods by a packaging blank is only possible if the good is not inserted into an already partially folded packaging blank. Especially with this usual insertion of goods in open but already finished and glued packages damage to the goods or even the packaging, especially of window elements is possible. For this reason, the union of good and packaging blank should happen before the wrapping or folding. In order to avoid the described damage when pushing over each other good and packaging blank is also consistent to dispense with a relative movement after or during the union. For this reason, the speed of the goods and that of the packaging blank is adjusted and then the good stored on the packaging blank.

In order to provide the highest possible number of manufactured packaged goods through the inserter, but at the same time also to facilitate a simple and safe sorting and collection of goods and feeding external supplements to the good, is advantageously the second transport speed, with the goods supplied to the unification unit is moved lower than the first transport speed with which the packaging blank is moved. The product to be packaged is thus accelerated during the takeover by the third conveyor belt.

To avoid relative speeds, not only the amounts of the transport speeds are the same but also the transport directions in a particularly preferred embodiment. This means that the conveyor belts are arranged such that the goods are transported on the third conveyor belt and the packaging blank on the transfer belt in the same direction.

So that the good can be stored in exact position on the packaging blank, the third conveyor belt and the transfer belt are arranged in an advantageous embodiment substantially parallel to each other and in a further preferred embodiment, the third conveyor belt in the horizontal direction over the transfer belt. The good can thus simply be placed on the packaging blank or even dropped.

For a particularly reliable and non-slip transport of the packaging blank along the transfer belt this is provided with a vacuum unit. With the help of the vacuum generated and individual openings on the transfer belt the packaging blanks are held. Slipping of the packaging blank even when the goods are placed is thus prevented.

In order to avoid additional negative pressure units within the third conveyor belt and thus to avoid further interference-prone components to be controlled, a separating element, in particular in the form of a thin sheet, between the third conveyor belt and the transfer belt is provided in a particularly preferred embodiment. The good must therefore not be held against the force of gravity on the third conveyor belt but rests on the separator and is transported to this parallel and at the same speed to the packaging blank. In this case, the good is pushed with the help of the provided on the third conveyor gripper along the separating element to its end. At the end of the separating element, the material is then deposited at substantially non-real-time speed to the packaging blank on this. The speed of the gripper is reduced a little, so that the storage of the goods is not affected by the gripper.

So that no delay in the provision of the next goods arises by such a speed delay of the gripper when placing the goods on the packaging blank, in an advantageous embodiment, the third conveyor belt comprises a number of pairs of bands, in particular belt pairs. These pairs of bands are arranged parallel next to each other in the horizontal plane and each comprise a number of grippers, which are arranged offset to one another. Thus, the supplied goods are alternately picked up by one and the other conveyor belt of the pair of belts, accelerated and stored. A delay of the gripper when placing the goods on the packaging blank thus does not lead to a delay in the Gutzuführung because the subsequent Good was not picked up by this conveyor belt, or by another gripper of this conveyor belt, but from the second conveyor belt of the pair of belts.

The advantages achieved by the invention are, in particular, that a storage of the goods on the packaging material without relative speed is made possible by the speed adjustment of the goods on the packaging of the blank. As a result, damage to good and packaging can be avoided, which can occur when the goods are inserted into the packaging. In particular, window elements of the packaging and glued side dishes in the estate are affected. By storing the goods on the packaging blank both can be prepared and processed independently of each other in upstream process steps. Thus, the production of goods and packaging as well as the insertion of both in a common system is made possible. This saves transport and storage costs and external production facilities can largely be dispensed with.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing. Show:

Identical parts are provided with the same reference numerals in all figures.

A general enveloping method and an associated inserter are disclosed in US Pat 1 and 2 exemplified. The method described later for the combination of the goods to be packaged and the supplied packaging blank can be used in this inserter, but is not limited to this and can also be used in other inserter with a similar feed.

The schematic representation of the method for enveloping a product to be packaged after 1 comprises a first material web 1 for the packaging blanks. The material of the train 1 can be chosen arbitrarily and according to customer requirements, usually paper in different strengths or even a packaging film is used. In a first process step 2 becomes the material web 1 by means of a cutting unit 4 in packaging blanks 6 cut. In this case, a particularly individual cut is possible, which also of packaging blank 6 to packaging blank 6 can be changed by an appropriate control of the cutting unit. Thus, a direct and optimal adaptation to the goods to be packaged 8th possible. Should the material web 1 and thus also the packaging blank 6 already completely printed, the packaging blank 6 in the next process step 10 the serving unit 12 fed. Otherwise, the packaging blank 6 in a process step, not shown by a printing unit 14 before being fed to the wrapping unit 12 individually and individually printed. In addition or in an alternative embodiment, it is also possible that by another printing unit 62 already on the material web 1 is printed. This has the advantage that it can be printed over the entire later cut and thus no system-related pressure-free edges arise. By using two printing units connected in series, it is also possible to print the packaging both on the outside and on the inside.

It is likewise possible that in a further process step upstream of the feed to the wrapping unit or also together with the blank of the packaging blank 6 a window element 68 in the packaging blank 6 is cut and this is closed with a window film. This makes it possible to produce packaging, in particular envelopes, with a viewing window.

The schematic representation of the method according to 1 also includes a second web of material 16 for the production of the goods to be packaged 8th , This second material web 16 is through a second cutting unit 18 into individual parts of the goods 20 sliced 22 , If the second material web 16 not yet printed, could in a not shown, further printing unit in a likewise not shown, further process step, the individual parts of the goods 20 individually printed. The parts of the goods 20 then become a collection unit 24 supplied 26 , This collection unit 24 is capable of the parts of the goods 20 to sort and to a good 8th merge. In addition, it is through the collection unit 24 possible, the good 8th To fold according to the customer's request, to glue to emboss, to connect by means of a staple or paper clip or to edit otherwise. Furthermore, it is in the collection unit 24 possible external supplements 64 such as credit cards, CDs or promotional items, manually or automatically to the estate 8th add 66 , The finished good 8th then becomes the wrapping unit 12 supplied 28 ,

For a particularly reliable and accurate positioning of the goods 8th on the associated packaging blank 6 and a faultless further processing by the wrapping unit 12 are the delivery routes 10 . 28 in a line but arranged in opposite directions. A necessary turning of the goods 8th in the plane of movement or the packaging blank 6 in the feed is also avoided, as an undesirable displacement of the packaging blank 6 by changes of direction in the feeder. The union of the good 8th and the packaging blank 6 is done in a line and in the same direction. As a result, relative movements between the two are avoided and the good 8th can in a particularly simple manner, for example by filing, on the packaging blank 6 be placed with exact positioning. By this particular type of feed is the goods to be packaged 8th in the serving unit 12 on the inside of the packaging blank 6 ,

In a first wrapping process 30 become the side flaps 32 of the packaging blank 6 parallel to the direction of movement of the packaging blank 6 folded and around the estate 8th beaten. At the same time or in a downstream process step, the outside of the side flaps is covered with an adhesive film. In a second wrapping process 34 then the bottom flap 36 against the direction of movement of the packaging blank 6 folded to the estate 8th beaten and with the side flaps 32 bonded.

To avoid folding in the direction of movement, the direction of movement of the packaging blank 6 and the good in it 8th rotated by about 90 °, but without the orientation of the packaging blank 8th changes. By this change in the direction of movement relative to the orientation of the packaging blank 8th is a convolution 38 the flap 40 parallel to the new direction of movement of the packaging blank 8th possible. The folding edges of the flap 40 and the bottom flap 36 are arranged in such a rotation of the direction of movement approximately parallel to each other, so that particularly symmetrical packaging can be produced. In this folding 38 the packaging is closed and the goods 8th completely packed. Depending on the further processing of the packaged goods 42 can the shutter 40 when folding directly to the end of the bottom flap 36 be glued. For this purpose, an adhesive film directly in the end region of the bottom flap in an upstream or carried out with the folding further process step 36 and / or on the inside of the flap 40 be applied.

An embodiment of the inserter 43 is in 2 shown schematically. The inserter 43 includes a packaging unit 44 for producing and feeding the packaging blanks 6 to a serving unit 12 and a good unit 46 for the production, sorting, collection and feeding of the goods 8th also to this wrapping unit 12 ,

The packaging unit 44 comprises in the order of the method steps a receiving unit 48 for the packaging material, for example a material web or roll 1 , a cutting unit 4 who put this packaging material in packaging blanks 6 cuts, a first and a second printing unit 14 . 62 holding the packaging blanks 6 printed on demand and a feeder unit 50 holding the packaging blanks 6 the serving unit 12 supplies. In addition, the packaging unit may be a unit for cutting and applying window elements 68 on the packaging blank.

Also the good unit 46 includes a separate recording unit 52 for a material web or roll 16 , In a downstream, second cutting unit 18 become parts of the goods 20 from the material web 16 cut. These can optionally be printed individually by a further, not shown printing unit. The cutting unit 18 Downstream is a collection unit 24 in which the parts of the goods 20 collected, sorted and further processed.

Also, an external supply of other supplements or other parts of the goods to be packaged 8th manually or automatically possible. The collected and packaged goods 8th is via its own feeder unit 54 the serving unit 12 to hand over.

The serving unit 12 is designed to be packaged good 8th through the supplied packaging blank 6 safely and permanently in several folding and gluing steps. For a simple and accurate folding of the flap, is the wrapping unit 12 L-shaped, wherein the folding of the side flap and the bottom flaps a first portion 56 and the folding of the flap in a second portion 58 is made to the first subarea 56 is twisted by about 90 °. The wrapping unit according to the embodiment according to 2 also includes its own printing unit 60 in which the finished end product 42 if necessary, can be printed again or for the first time.

The feeder units 50 . 54 of the packaging blank 6 and the good 8th are arranged such that the feeder - viewed from a bird's eye view - in a line and in opposite directions. This is the packaging blank 6 at a lower level, below the serving unit 12 brought to this, while the good 8th is supplied at a higher level of the wrapping unit. When feeding the packaging blank 6 to the wrapping unit 12 this is moved along a curved or circular segment. This corresponds to a roller-like rotation of the packaging blank 6 , which does not have to be realized via a roller element, but also by a corresponding arrangement of conveyor belts or similar conveying elements is possible. By this type of rotation of the packaging blank 6 its orientation is not changed relative to the direction of movement, whereby a shift during movement and thus a later inaccurate positioning can be avoided.

The union unit 86 for the union of the goods to be packaged 8th and the supplied packaging blank 6 is in is 3 shown. The packaging blank 6 is through a first conveyor belt 70 from a bird's eye view in opposite directions to the direction of movement of the goods to be packaged 8th brought to this. By means of a pulley 72 the direction of movement is reversed and the packaging blank 6 parallel to the goods to be packed 8th guided. The packaging blank 6 is by first gripper arms 74 , by a vacuum system (not shown) or by comparable fastening systems on the first conveyor belt 70 held and transported so safe and slip-free. The transport speed v _{1 of} a single packaging blank 6 is almost constant during feeding, but may be due to the size of the packaging blanks 6 be adjusted. The packaging blank 6 is after the change of direction by the pulley 72 a substantially horizontally arranged transfer belt 82 to hand over. The packaging blank 6 will be on this transfer band 82 held by means of a vacuum system or more similar fastening system. The transport speed v ₁ on this transfer belt 82 This corresponds essentially to the transport speed of the first conveyor belt.

About a second conveyor belt 76 becomes the goods to be packed 8th to the wrapping unit 12 introduced. In this case, the goods to be packaged by means of second gripping arms 78 held, which move the goods at a transport speed v ₂ . Subsequently, the goods to be packaged 8th by means of third gripping arms 84 along a third conveyor belt 80 are arranged and move along this, added. At the reception of the goods 8th through the third gripping arms 84 becomes the good 8th accelerates it through the gripping arms 84 can be particularly well received. The third conveyor belt 76 is parallel and spaced from the transfer belt 82 arranged. Between the third conveyor belt 76 and the transfer band 82 will be on the side of the third conveyor 76 the goods to be packed 8th and on the part of the transfer band 82 the packaging blank 6 transported parallel to each other. The goods to be packed 8th is through the third conveyor belt 76 transported at a transport speed, which is adapted during transport to the transport speed v ₁ . The estate is thus through the third conveyor belt 76 accelerated or decelerated and then moves at the same speed as the parallel packing blank 6 on the transfer belt 82 , By this lack of relative movement of the goods to be packaged 8th and the packaging blank 6 is it possible the good 8th easy and exact position on the packaging blank 6 to be deducted and wrapped in further procedural steps of this.

The good 8th is through the third conveyor belt 80 in the present embodiment along a separating element 88 pushed and at the end of the separating element 80 on the packaging blank 6 stored. This allows additional holding elements, for example in the form of vacuum chambers, in the third conveyor belt 80 be saved. In individual cases or depending on the goods to be packed 8th but such Haletelemente can still be present in addition or exclusively to a particularly safe transport of goods 8th to enable. When placing the goods 8th becomes the good 8th leading third gripper arm 84 Slightly slowed in the speed, to the storage of the goods 8th not to interfere.

The delivery of the goods 8th with a lower speed allows the goods 8th on the second conveyor belt closer together, as the distance by the acceleration of the goods 8th when transferring to the third conveyor belt 80 is enlarged. By this acceleration can thus the size of the packaging blank 6 Dependent required distance when depositing the goods 6 on the packaging blank 6 be achieved, even if the goods 8th previously close together. Furthermore, due to the lower speed v _2, the positionally accurate external feed of inserts becomes a good 8th and also the transport of goods, which consists of several individual elements, easier.

In 4 is the speed curve as a function of the traveled distance for the packaging blank 6 and the estate 8th once again shown graphically. The representation of the distance corresponds to that under the 4 Unification unit shown and thus describes the supply of the goods, the parallel transport of the goods and the packaging blank and the storage of goods on the packaging blank. During the packaging blank 6 constantly transported at a high speed becomes the estate 8th initially moved slower and to the union unit 86 introduced and with the inclusion of the second conveyor belt 76 on the third conveyor belt 80 accelerated. Subsequently, the transport speed of the goods 8th adapted to the first transport speed v ₁ . The third gripper arm 84 By contrast, when filing the goods 8th braked a little, so the storage of the goods 8th not by the gripper arm 84 is impaired. In the 4 illustrated acceleration of the goods and the deceleration of the gripper arm 84 is constant, but can also be designed differently and can in particular also over a larger area along the third conveyor belt 80 extend.

The drawn lines are offset from each other only because of the better representation, in the sense of the embodiment are these lines v ₁ and v ₂ in the area of the intake of the goods, v ₁ , v ₂ and v ₃ in the middle and v ₁ and v ₂ in the storage of the goods on top of each other.

In 6 an alternative speed diagram is shown, in which the transport speed of the second conveyor belt v ₂ and thus the transport speed of Gutszuführung essentially corresponds to the transport speed of the packaging blank v ₁ . For a better comparison is as 5 the union unit 86 shown again. For a safe transfer to the third conveyor belt is the good 8th when picked up by the gripper 84 thus accelerates and moves faster than the assigned packaging blank 6 , The adaptation of the transport speed of the goods on the third conveyor belt to the first transport speed v ₁ is therefore done by a deceleration of the goods 8th through the third conveyor belt. When storing the goods 8th on the packaging blank 6 will - as well as in 4 shown - the third gripping arm 84 a little delayed, thus a particularly good positioning of the goods 8th without interference by the third gripper arm 84 is possible.

Thus, such a deceleration of the third gripping arm 84 does not affect the supply of the subsequent good, the third conveyor belt comprises a number of pairs of bands 90 as it is in 7 is shown in a plan view of the third Tansportband. The third conveyor belt 80 according to this embodiment comprises two pairs of bands 90 each of which has two parallel belt straps 92 . 94 includes. These strap bands 92 . 94 but can also, depending on the design and transported goods 8th , consist of a chain or similar conveyor belts. Each of the belt straps 92 . 94 comprises a number of third gripping arms 84 on the two strap bands 92 . 94 offset from one another. By this staggered arrangement, the supplied goods become alternately from one and the other strap band 92 . 94 picked up and transported. The delivery of the goods 8th and the length of the third conveyor belt 80 is designed such that a belt band 92 . 94 only one good at a time 8th transported simultaneously. As a result, braking of the third gripping arm acts 84 at the storage of the goods 8th also not disturbing the further transport of the following good 8th ,

Depending on the timing of the Gutszuführung and the length of the third conveyor belt 80 It is also conceivable that more than two belt bands are provided with staggered gripping arms. As in 7 illustrated comprises the third conveyor belt 80 two such pairs of belts 90 To ensure a safe reception and a straight transport of the goods 8th to enable. Here are more than just the two pairs of belts shown 90 possible.

By such a speed adjustment of the goods 8th to the speed v _{1 of} the packaging blank 6 is it possible that the good 8th exact position on the packaging blank 6 set. This will be a complete wrapping of the goods 8th only possible. It is thus possible to dispense with prefabricated and externally produced packaging.
