Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for inserting packs into pockets or the like of a revolver which rotates continuously at a different speed to the speed of the packs to be fed. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for feeding or transferring packs fed individually or discontinuously from a conveyor to a turret provided with pockets or the like. with a transfer device for accelerating the packs from a standstill to the revolving speed of the continuously revolving revolver and for delivering the packs to the pockets of the revolver at the same speed as the revolver.
  • Such a method and a corresponding device are known from DE-A 19 09 777.
  • This document describes a method in which, for introducing packs into the pockets of a continuously revolving revolver, the packs are accelerated to a point by a transfer device arranged outside the revolver Circumferential speed of the revolver takes place. At the same speed at the moment between the package to be transferred and the respective pocket of the revolver, the package to be transferred is pushed into the pocket of the revolver.
  • the device for carrying out this known method has a transfer device which can be moved around its axis of rotation to accelerate the packs parallel to the outer circumference of the revolver.
  • the object of the invention is to simplify the transfer of packs to a continuously revolving revolver of a packaging machine.
  • the packs to be fed are accelerated from a standstill to the circumferential speed of the revolver along a conveying path leading to the revolver and designed as a circular path parallel to the revolver, from stationary, to the circumferential speed of the revolver, the conveying path being at least in the area of the transfer of the packs the revolver enters the orbit of the revolver or the pockets of the same, in such a way that the packs are immediately taken over by the pockets of the revolver at the same speed as the revolver.
  • the pack to be introduced into the continuously revolving revolver is brought into an (intermediate) conveyor track in which the pack is accelerated to the revolving speed of the revolver and is then placed directly into one of the pockets of the revolver.
  • the invention further relates to measures for handling the objects on or on the revolver after transfer to it.
  • the problem here is to bring together and unite objects during the revolver's revolution, in particular to insert the contents of a pack into them.
  • the procedure according to the invention is such that the objects to be brought together are conveyed coaxially and at the same speed, each along coaxial circular paths of the same diameter, and at least one of the objects is combined with one another by axial displacement (cf. EP-A-0 003 573).
  • the corresponding device is characterized by the design features according to claim 10.
  • the invention can be used with particular advantages in the production of cigarette packs of the "pusher and sleeve" type.
  • the device shown in the drawings consists of several interacting Individual units that work together optimally, but can also be used in other contexts.
  • Objects can be combined with one another in a continuous movement sequence by means of a merging unit 10.
  • these objects are a sleeve 11 on the one hand and a filled slide 12 of a cigarette pack of the type “slide and sleeve” shown as an example in FIG. 1.
  • a transfer device 13 is used to feed objects - in the present case the filled slide 12 - to a continuously revolving revolver 19.
  • This transfer device 13 is preceded by a lifting device 14, through which objects are transferred from a conveyor 15, which in the present case is straight, to the lifting device 14 will.
  • the transfer of the objects here slide 12 provided with cigarettes
  • the objects or the slide 12 provided with cigarettes are moved by the as Chain conveyor trained conveyor 15 supplied, one after the other, each by a driver 59.
  • the objects (slide 12) are then lifted by a lifter 60 of the lifting device 14 from the conveyor 15 and fed to the transfer device 13.
  • the transfer device 13 in the present case consists of two groups of driver pockets 61.
  • the configuration of these driver pockets 61 is such that at the ends of mutually opposite webs 62 there are arranged upright or pin 63 pointing approximately in the radial direction. Two of these pins 63 each rest on opposite sides of the objects, namely the slide 12.
  • the two webs 62 are connected to one another by a cross bar 64. This in turn sits at the end of a radially directed conveyor arm 65 or 66.
  • the driver pockets 61 are therefore open laterally and radially outwards.
  • the conveyor arms 65 on the one hand and 66 on the other hand are each rotatably supported on a shaft 69 via a hub 67 and 68, respectively.
  • the conveyor arms 65, 66 and thus the driving pockets 61 are driven non-uniformly all round, in such a way that when an object is picked up, that is to say in the position adjacent to the lifting device 14, the conveyor arm 65, 66 in question comes to a standstill. This is then accelerated to the peripheral speed of the revolver 19 or the receiving pockets 21 of the same.
  • the use of two groups of driving pockets 61 which can be moved independently of one another ensures that standstill, acceleration and instantaneous synchronization with the turret 19 can take place in short successive movement phases and thus with a correspondingly high performance of the machine.
  • the conveyor arms 65 and 66 step with their driver pockets 61 in succession into the positions of picking up and delivering an object. Accordingly, while a conveyor arm 65 is brought to a standstill, another conveyor arm 66 is accelerated to the rotational speed of the pockets 21.
  • a common drive is assigned to both groups of conveyor arms 65 and 66.
  • a two-armed drive member 70 is fixedly mounted on the shaft 69.
  • This drive element 70 which rotates with the shaft 69, is provided at the ends with a bearing 71 for a drive pin 72.
  • This axially parallel drive pin 72 is provided on a leg piece 73 with a feeler roller 74 which enters a control groove 75 of a control disk 76 rotatably mounted on the shaft 69.
  • the drive pin 72 Due to the control movements of the feeler roller 74, the drive pin 72 is set in rotary movements via the leg piece 73 during the rotation of the drive member 70.
  • a driver roller 79 mounted on the conveyor arm 65 or 66 runs in the slot 78 thereof.
  • a drive is accordingly transmitted to the conveyor arms 65, 66. which results on the one hand from the movement of the continuously rotating drive element 70 and on the other hand from the movements of the drive pin 72 which overlap therewith.
  • the carrier pockets 61 are arranged at the ends of the conveyor arms 65, 66 in such a way that these carrier pockets 61 lie in one plane when the conveyor arms 65, 66 are arranged next to one another. The same applies to the driver rollers 79.
  • the objects namely slide 12, are moved along an arc-shaped, stationary conveyor track 80 through the driving pockets 61.
  • the conveyor track 80 consists of two lateral, approximately quarter-circle-shaped angle pieces 81, 82. The ends of the objects rest on the lower legs of these angle pieces 81, 82.
  • the conveyor track 80 leads directly to the turret 19.
  • the conveyor track 80 ends in the path of movement of the pockets 21 of the revolver 19.
  • the angle pieces 81, 82 run on both sides of these pockets 21 (see FIG. 8).
  • the pockets 21 or their side walls 24, 25 enter the area between the pins 62 of the driving pockets 61.
  • the objects namely slide 12, are lifted from the conveyor 15 by a lifter 83 of the lifting device 14 and are guided from below into a carrier pocket 61 of the transfer device 13 which is open at the bottom.
  • the jack 83 consists of a bearing surface 84 which on the the incoming objects facing side is open so that the objects can be transported by the driver 59 of the conveyor 15 on the jack 83.
  • the objects rest against a stop 85, which thus determines the exact relative position of the object on the lifter 83.
  • the lifter 83 is now displaced parallel in the upward direction, specifically on an arcuate movement path which is directed in the direction of movement of the conveyor 15 and upwards. The objects are thereby removed from the conveyor 15 without an abrupt change in the direction of movement and thus gently.
  • the lifter 83 is supported by an angle piece 86 on parallelogram links 87 and 88. By pivoting back and forth, these ensure the obliquely upward parallel displacement of the lifter 83 or the bearing surface 84. During this upward movement, the continuing drivers 59 ensure that the objects abut against the stop 85.
  • the angle pieces 81 and 82 of the conveyor track 80 are formed without the lower legs serving as supports for the objects in the area of the transfer of the objects to a downward driving pocket 61, a different one is required here after the objects have been inserted into the driving pockets 61 Support for the objects until they reach the region of the legs 89 by moving the driving pocket 61 further.
  • holding strips 90, 91 which can be pivoted laterally to the object are provided. These are provided on the sides facing the objects with a recess 92 which has a lower arched support surface 93 for supporting the objects. Holding strips 90 and 91 and their support surface 93 are arranged in the holding position so that the support surfaces 93 form an extension or extension of the legs 89 of the angle pieces 81 and 82.
  • the lifter 83 can thus return to the starting position immediately after the object has been introduced into the driving pocket 61.
  • the holding strips 90 and 91 are pivoted laterally onto the object, as a result of which the support surfaces 93 support the object downward.
  • the driving pocket 61 begins to move further, the object passes from the support surfaces 93 onto the adjoining legs 89 of the conveyor track 80.
  • the holding strips 90, 91 are each mounted on two-armed levers 94 and 95. Of these, the lever 96 is driven back and forth by a push rod 96. The movements of the lever 95 are transmitted via an intermediate member 97 with reversal of direction on the angularly shaped lifts 94.
  • Another push rod 98 is used to drive the jack 83 via an intermediate link 99.
  • the levers 94 and 95 as well as the parallelogram link 87, 88 and the intermediate link 99 are each mounted on the same axles.
  • the turret 19 is assigned a second turret 20.
  • Both revolvers 19 and 20 are rotatably mounted on a common main axis 18.
  • the second revolver 20 also serves to hold objects which are to be combined with the objects conveyed by the first revolver 19.
  • the revolvers 19 and 20 are thus parts of a very compact merging unit 10.
  • the revolver 19 in pockets 21 receives the slider 12 with the cigarettes, while sleeves 11 for receiving the slider 12 in holders 22 of the revolver 20 are transported.
  • the two revolvers 19 and 20 rotate continuously and at the same speed, so that pockets 21 and holder 22 are axially opposite one another.
  • the merging takes place in such a way that the slides 12 are pushed out of the pockets 21 in the axial direction by plungers 23 and inserted into the open sleeves 11 in the holders 22 of the turret 20. Accordingly, during the rotation of the revolvers 19, 20, the slide 12 takes place axially.
  • the pockets 21 of the revolver 19 mentioned in the present case consist only of two lateral U-shaped side walls 24 and 25 (FIG. 2).
  • a side wall 24 is arranged stationary, while the side wall 25 is part of a pivot lever 26. This is rotatably mounted between stops 27 on a support rod 28.
  • a plurality of support rods 28 are arranged concentrically to the main axis 18 at a distance from it.
  • the movable side wall 25 can be retracted by corresponding movement of the pivot lever 26.
  • This opening and closing movement of the pocket 21 or the pivot lever 26 can be controlled by an extension 29 of the pivot lever 26.
  • the support rods 28 run along a circular path around the main axis 18. During this cycle, the opening and closing movements of the pocket 21 are derived from the control groove 31 by the feeler roller 30.
  • Guide rods 33 are arranged at a distance from and parallel to the support rods 28. These and the support rods 28 each serve to slide the tappet 23 or a leg 34 of the same. The plunger 23 can thus only be moved in the axial direction on the support rod 28 and the guide rod 33.
  • the end of the leg 34 is equipped with a feeler roller 35 which is formed in a control groove 36 on the circumference of a control cylinder 37.
  • This control cylinder 37 is also firmly mounted on the main axis 18.
  • the plunger 23 or its plunger head 38 are dimensioned such that this part can be moved between the side walls 24 and 25 of the pocket 21.
  • the turret 20 is formed by a turret disk 39 which is rotatably mounted on the main axis 18.
  • the holders 22 are formed on the outer circumference of the turret disk 39 in the same arrangement and relative position.
  • these consist of a bearing base 40, which is attached directly to the turret disk 39 and serves to receive, namely, to apply the objects in question, in the present case the sleeves 11.
  • a radially outward surface of the bearing base 40 is equipped with suction bores 41 which are connected to a central vacuum source via suction lines 42.
  • the angled suction lines 42 of each bearing base 40 lead to a ring line 43 of a fixed counter disc 44 which bears against the turret disc 39.
  • the counter disc 44 is in turn arranged fixed on the main axis 18.
  • the counter disc 44 also forms the lateral end of the merging unit 10 on this side.
  • the brackets 22 each have a side limiter 45 which can be moved in the radial direction relative to the bearing pedestals 40 and has two support legs 46 and 47.
  • the movements are each transmitted by a push rod 48 which, with a traction roller 49 at one angled end, into a control groove 50 of the counter disk 44 entry. This is designed so that the side delimiters 45 are moved radially outwards or inwards during the rotation of the turret 20.
  • the push rods 48 are each guided in a bearing piece 51 of the turret disk 39.
  • the support legs 46, 47 can be withdrawn completely inwards (lower region of FIG. 3), so that the outward-facing surfaces of the bearing pedestal 40 are exposed for receiving objects. It is therefore possible to accommodate objects whose transverse dimensions are greater than the distance between the support legs 46, 47. This is the case here when the sleeves 11 are fed to the bearing bases 40 in a flattened shape and are received by them. Only after the sleeve 11 has been erected into a three-dimensional, namely cuboid shape, the side delimiters 45 are moved radially outward and now include the object, namely the sleeve 11, with the support legs 46, 47 also in the region of the sides.
  • the (immovable) side walls 24 of the pockets 21 of the turret 19 are also attached to the turret disk 39.

  • This consists of four corner guides 52 which are pivotally mounted in the region of the corners of the sleeve 11 on the inlet side thereof. Pivot axes 53 for these corner guides 52 are arranged in a corner, so that the corner guides 52 can be pivoted from a pivoted-back position into the corners of the sleeve 11 (see FIGS. 9 and 10).
  • the entry movement of the corner guides 52 into the mouth of the sleeve 11 consists of a superimposed pivoting movement and axial movement. The former is carried out by the slide 12 itself which is moved past the corner guides 52.
  • a hereby synchronous movement of the corner guides 52 in the axial direction into the sleeve 11 is brought about by a carrier 54 which is connected to the guide rod 33 which can be moved in the axial direction.
  • the movement is controlled in that the carrier 54, with a feeler roller 55 arranged at the lower or radially inner end, enters an associated control groove 56 on the outer circumference of the control disk 32.
  • the carrier 54 is otherwise slidably supported on the support rod 28 and thereby guided for exclusive axial movements.
  • the movements of the individual moving parts of the merging unit 10 are effected by a common drive.
