Folding box sorting machine

The invention relates to a folding box sorting machine with a folding box magazine and a folding box discharge device and a code reader.

It is already known to provide the prefabricated folding boxes with markings in packaging equipment, which can be scanned with code readers. In this way it can be ensured that, for example, drugs are also in the correct boxes are packed. Consist for medicines and also for perishable food Regulations to put the delivery date or an expiry date on the packaging. So far it is common for this Notes in a separate operation, usually to be applied by hand.

The task at hand is with a folding box;

Sorting machine of the type mentioned at the outset is achieved according to the invention in that it is located in the transport path j between the folding box magazine and a folding box | Storage point has a printing unit, which is connected downstream of the code reader, for applying imprints to the folding boxes.

On a folding box sorting machine designed according to the invention, therefore, not only a check takes place

Machine checking and simultaneous printing of the folding boxes provide security against incorrect packaging and incorrect dating guaranteed.

An exemplary embodiment of the subject matter of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying schematic Drawing explained in more detail.

The drawing shows a schematic side view of the folding box sorting machine with a machine body 10, on the top of which a magazine 11 for folded boxes 12 laid flat is arranged. That Folding box magazine 11 is located above a folding box discharge device 13 with an in Direction of the drawn double arrow 14 reciprocable discharge slide 15, with which the Flat folded boxes are given one after the other on a transport path 16, which is from a revolving endless conveyor belt 17 and several counter-pressure rollers 18 is formed.

The transport path 16 and the folding box discharge device 13 are connected to a common drive device 19 accommodated in the machine frame 10 connected, the structure of which is not described in detail because it is not the subject of the protection request.

A code reader with a reading head 20 is arranged in the transport path 16. In the in the drawing Transport path 16 leading from right to left is a printing unit 21 for attaching the code reader

Subsequent printing on the folded folded boxes. Then arrive then the folding boxes into an ejection device. It forms an end section of the transport path 16, which can be pivoted downward in the drawing by means of a piston / cylinder device 23, so that Folding boxes found incorrectly by the code reader in a collecting area 10a of the machine body 10 can be ejected. In the unswiveled position, the folding boxes are released by the ejection device through to a so-called shingled depository 24 of the sorting machine or onto a further conveyor belt

carried out.

The adjustment movement of the slide 15 of the folding box is effected by the common drive device 19 Carrying device 13 and the transport speed of the transport path 16 are coordinated with one another. By a control device not shown here is also the operation of the printing unit 21 and the piston / cylinder device 23 of the ejection device 22 is synchronized with the other devices of the sorting machine.
