Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the mechanical packaging of bottles in a packaging having openings for the bottle necks, in which the bottles are continuously advanced and the packaging blank is placed over the bottle necks.
  • the invention further relates to a packaging device for packaging bottles in openings for packaging having bottle necks, with a feed device for the bottles and a device for applying the packaging blank to the bottles.
  • a packaging device should be suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the packaging produced by the method mentioned at the beginning contains three, four, six or ten bottles, the bottles being arranged next to one another in one or two rows and their necks through the openings in the packaging protrude.
  • Such sales units have been on the market for years and are becoming increasingly important.
  • this packaging is produced fully automatically.
  • the known methods use a bottle flow with one or two rows of bottles, in which the bottles are divided into groups according to the desired packaging. This subdivision is done by braking the bottles or accelerating and then braking, whereby the desired groups are formed. This requires considerable mechanical effort.
  • the conveying speed of the bottles and thus the maximum packaging speed is limited by the need to accelerate or decelerate the bottles. It has been shown that a desired very fast packaging of the bottles (for example 220 bottles per minute) is not possible according to the previous methods.
  • the object of the method according to the invention is therefore to enable the packaging to function properly even at higher speeds than before, the mechanical outlay not being increased.
  • This object is achieved in that the blank is deflected and pulled at an acute angle to the conveying plane of the bottles with its front opening over the neck of a bottle, through which it is conveyed with the bottles, whereby it is deflected as a whole; that it lies parallel to the conveying plane of the bottles.
  • a major advantage of the method according to the invention can be seen in the fact that the grouping requires a lot of effort the bottles are no longer required.
  • the bottles can be advanced at high speed without gaps and the packaging can be placed on top.
  • only the foremost opening is drawn over a bottle neck, whereupon the blank is then conveyed through the said bottle at the speed of the bottle flow.
  • the placement of the blank is completed in such a way that it comes to lie parallel to the conveying plane of the bottles, ie all openings grip over the associated bottle necks.
  • the weight of the blank can be sufficient for this, with partially closed openings the blank must be pressed into this plane.
  • the blank In the method according to the invention it is possible to advance the blank at the same speed as the bottles until the first opening reaches over the associated bottle neck. In practice, however, it will generally be advantageous to advance the blank at a higher web speed, which then makes it possible to overlap four or five bottles with packaging instead of, for example, three bottles. In addition, the higher web speed of the blank has the further advantage that it is possible with much less adjustment effort without having to manage the previously required gaps between the packaging groups.
  • the device required to carry out the method is particularly simple and compact, when the blank is pulled off approximately vertically to a magazine and bent over the path of a circular arc section, so that the acute angle arises from the bending of the blank on the circular arc section. So that the front opening of the blank securely over a bottle neck is drawn, the lowest point of the circular arc is arranged below the highest point of the bottles.
  • the invention is also based on the object of specifying a packaging device of the type mentioned at the outset which is suitable for high packaging speeds and is mechanically uncomplicated.
  • a packaging device in which the packaging blanks are conveyed against a rotating wheel, the lowest point of which lies on its circumference below the highest point of the bottles and which bends the packaging blanks on its circumferential surface and leads with the front opening over a bottle neck whereupon the packaging blank is passed through the bottle under the wheel.
  • the packaging device enables the packaging blank to be applied to the bottles in a mechanically simple and compact form, with no grouping of the bottles being necessary.
  • the packaging blanks are fed to the rotating wheel and bent over on its peripheral surface. If the packaging blank is fed approximately vertically from the magazine, the packaging can be applied from the magazine to the bottles in the shortest possible way.
  • the wheel preferably has clamps with which the packaging blank is gripped and pulled over the bottle, the clamps opening immediately when the front opening of the blank engages around the bottle neck in question.
  • the wheel is preferably designed so that several clamps are arranged over the circumference of the wheel. This is useful because it reduces the speed of rotation of the wheel.
  • the wheel consists of two wheel disks. These can grip the packaging blanks at the outer ends, so that the openings of the clamped packaging blanks are located one behind the other between the two wheel disks.
  • the closing and opening movement of the clamps is preferably controlled with cam disks, which ensure that the clamps open at a defined point, for example at the lowest point of the wheel. If the wheel consists of two wheel disks, a common cam disk can be provided for control purposes for the clamps of the two wheel disks which have the same cut, so that the synchronism of the clamp movement of the two wheel disks is ensured.
  • the packaging device shown in FIG. 1 has a magazine 1, in which packaging blanks 2 are stored in an upright position and are conveyed against stops 4 by means of conveyor chains 3.
  • the blanks arrived at the stops 4 are transported vertically downwards with the aid of vertically standing conveyor belts 5 and reach tangentially to the peripheral surface of a rotating wheel 7 consisting of two wheel disks 6.
  • There the blanks 2 move into open clamps 8, which after a short another rotation of the rotating wheel 7 immediately close and take the packaging blank 2.
  • the gripped end of the packaging blank 2 is bent away from the conveyor belt 5 by the rotation of the rotating wheel 7 and held by the rotating wheel until the front edge of the blank 2 has reached the lowest point of the wheel 7. There open the two clamps 8, which had held the blank 2 in question.
  • bottles 9 are continuously produced using a Pre-conveyed (not shown) conveyor belt at a constant speed.
  • FIG. 1 shows chain links 10 running laterally from the conveyor belt, which partially encompass the bottles and protect them against twisting on the conveyor belt. This is necessary if the labels of the bottles 9 are to keep a certain orientation in the packaging, for example if the packaging has a window-like opening through which the labels (for example of wine bottles) are to be visible.
  • the front of the three openings 11 of the blank present in the exemplary embodiment shown is pulled over a bottle.
  • the lowest point of the wheel 7 lies below the highest point of the bottles 9.
  • the clamps 8 open, so that the packaging blank 2 now through the bottle 9, the bottle neck of which engages in the front opening 11, at the speed of the bottles 9 is pulled along.
  • the blank will already fall over the other bottle necks due to its own weight and thus fall into the plane determined by the bottle necks parallel to the conveying plane of the bottles.
  • the rotating wheel 7 acts as a pressing means which presses the packaging blank 2 into the plane mentioned when the bottle 9 engaging in the first opening cuts the blank 2 un ter pulls through the wheel.
  • the wheel preferably rotates so fast that the web speed of the packaging blanks 2 when driven by the rotating wheel 7 is greater than the conveying speed of the bottles 9.
  • the blanks lie on the bottles 9 in the plane parallel to the conveying plane of the bottles, they are bent over their upper fold lines 12 so that the sides of the packaging are parallel to one another. Then the packages with pressure rollers 13 are gripped laterally and the conveyor belt is lowered, so that the bottles are further advanced at the same speed as on the conveyor belt, but are independent of the conveyor belt below.
  • the packaging is then bent over at the lower fold lines 15 by a special folding device 14, as a result of which the bottom is formed by two overlapping parts. These are glued together.
  • Figures 2 and 3 illustrate the control of the terminals 8, which are designed as two-sided levers, of which one arm is spring-loaded, whereby the terminal 8 is normally open.
  • Eccentrically mounted cam disks 17 roll over the circumference of a fixed central axis 16, which are at an angle of 90 ° to one another, since clamps 8 are provided on the wheel 7 here.
  • the terminal 8 closes at this point, so that the Ver Pack cut 2 is held by the clamp.
  • the wheel 7 rotates at such a speed that the first opening 11 is pulled over the first bottle 9, which has not yet been packed, when the wheel 7 has made a quarter turn.
  • packaging with four or five bottles can also be carried out in succession.
  • the conveying speed of the bottles 9 can remain unchanged, it is only necessary to change the rotational speed of the rotating wheel.
  • the speed of rotation must be slowed down in a ratio of 4: 3, since the first opening 11 of each blank only has to be pulled over every fourth bottle 9.
  • This switchover can be carried out very easily if, for the drive of the wheel, which is otherwise derived from the drive of the conveyor belt, a change gear is provided, which has gears with a gear ratio that are the same as the number of bottles in the desired packaging behavior.
