DE3214418C2 - Device for inserting bottles into bottle crates - Google Patents

Abstract

To achieve the simplest as well as the most powerful working method of the machine, it is necessary, first, that the collecting boxes are always under the bottle-receiving device when the bottles are inserted; thus it is permeable, and thirdly, the bottle mouths are located between the gripper jaws after the bottles have been pushed onto the bottle support plates. The following operations, triggered precisely by the sequence control, are now as follows: 1. Closing the gripper jaws and swiveling the support plates. 2. Downward stroke and opening of the jaws. 3. Upward stroke and pivoting of the support plates, inserting the next group of bottles. The drawing (Bl. 3) illustrates in principle a bottle packing machine for a double output.

Description

30th

Based on a known bottle inserting device (DL-OS 27 50 339), the present invention relates to the associated bottle inlet table on which initially f ^.; The bottles arriving on an anem conveyor belt (4) must be pushed together according to the shape and capacity of the bottle group.

The group of bottles is then gripped by the gripper holding above and, after removal, the The bottom plate of the infeed table is inserted into the bottle crate positioned below by means of a downward stroke

It is known to design the base plate in several parts and to remove each part separately to release the bottles, be it by pulling them horizontally or by lowering and pulling away or by pivoting about horizontal axes (DE-GM 47 367).

This type of release of the bottles requires obligations intricate, elaborate and expansive Einrich- v>, not permit the conclusive arable enhancements for improved performance. However, this also set the task of creating the special possibilities for continuous increases in performance by making appropriate improvements to the known facilities.

The invention now makes it possible to for example, two grippers, two bottle inlet tables and two snap boxes appropriately positioned and to be set up coherently next to each other as two units of a larger packaging system - as in F i g. 2 shown.

With a bottle case length of 0.4 m, the effective length would be around 4 m if, for example, ten units were set up; with the appropriate performance, still easily manageable. It shows

Fig. 1 is shown schematically in plan Bottle inlet table (3), with four standing on the support plates (5), spaced by the guide plates (7) Rows of bottles (6). The conveyor belt (4) is one, corresponding to the number of bottles in a row of bottles triple. The slide (2) is used to introduce the bottle group into the infeed table;

2 shows a longitudinal section through the infeed table for a double benefit; it shows the swivel range of the support plates (5-5 ') at SO degrees and in the corresponding Distance below the snap boxes (1);

Fi g. 3 shows a cross section through the bottle inlet table (3) with a row of bottles (6) on the bottle support plate (5). It shows the schematic representation the storage of the support plate and the arrangement of the pivot lever (10) and the switching strip (9) as well as the Baffles (7).

According to the invention, the items of the table top (3) are available in the same number as Rows (6) are to be pushed on. You are under are the same and dimensioned accordingly in their length and width of an orderly row of bottles (6).

Towards the push-on side of the bottle, they are designed as flat, self-supporting snap-on support plates (5), and their disengaging movements take place simultaneously and in the same direction around pivot axes arranged in the extension of the longitudinal edges of the support plate, where the swivel range is 90 degrees

For exact compliance with the folding movement by 90 degrees it is necessary that the pivot lever (10) is accurate with the support plates (5) aligned and against Rotation on the swivel axis are secured. Just as important is the exact same distance between the Connection holes in the switching strip (9). This switching strip (9) is preferably operated pneumatic with precise stroke limitation,

In Fig. 2 is the vertical distance of the infeed table from the top edge of the bottle crate through the folded down Bottle support plates (5-5 ') shown. This distance while maintaining a safety margin if possible Keeping it small is in the interest of a very short insertion stroke. For guiding the bottles to the side When sliding onto the infeed table, the guide plates (7) are provided for precise alignment in the vertical with the inner bottle crate division.

Claims (2)

Patent claims: 1. Device for inserting bottles into Bottle crate by means of a gripping device, with the bottles standing in rows to form a ordered group are brought to an infeed table and the table top is formed in several parts and each part of the table top for the purpose of releasing the bottles laterally under the bottles ic can be swiveled away, characterized in that the number of rows of bottles provided individual parts after the bottle push-in side as self-supporting, flat bottle support plates (5) are designed to be identical to one another and are ordered in terms of their length and width The row of bottles to be pushed open are dimensioned accordingly, and the folding movements at the same time and in the same direction as arranged in the extension of the longitudinal edges of the bottle support plates Swivel axes take place. 2. Apparatus according to claim 1, characterized in that p "If that welding on the swivel axes ... (10) are attached in such a way that actuation of the switching strip (9) results in a rectified pivoting-> 5 ken of all bottle support plates (5} by 90 degrees is guaranteed.
