Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Verpackungsvorrichtung nach der Gattung des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a packaging device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Bei einer beispielsweise durch GB-A-955 109 bekanntgewordenen Vorrichtung dieser Art wird jeweils eine Gruppe von aufeinanderliegenden Gegenständen in einen waagrecht ausgerichteten Trichter geschoben, auf den von der Gegenseitee her ein Sammelbeutel aufgezogen ist. Nach Verschwenken des Trichters um eine vertikale Achse überführt ein in den Trichter tauchender Schieber die Gegenstandsgruppe in eine bereitstehende, seitlich offene Aufnahme, wobei der Beutel die Gegenstandsgruppe umhüllend mitgezogen wird. Die an dem Rotor angeordneten Aufnahmen bringen dann die bereits gefüllten Sammelbeutel zu Falt- und Verschliesstationen.In a device of this type, which has become known, for example, from GB-A-955 109, a group of objects lying one on top of the other is pushed into a horizontally oriented funnel onto which a collecting bag is drawn from the opposite side. After pivoting the funnel about a vertical axis, a slide which dips into the funnel transfers the group of articles into a ready-made, laterally open receptacle, the bag being pulled along enveloping the group of articles. The receptacles arranged on the rotor then bring the already filled collection bags to folding and closing stations.

Ferner ist durch die DE-A-1 205 887 eine Vorrichtung zum Einbringen von Flachbeutelpackungen in Sammelbehälter bekannt, die zum Zusammenstellen von Beutelgruppen senkrecht ausgerichtete Aufnahmen an einem Drehstern hat. Auf einer Station des Drehsterns werden die einzelnen Beutelpackungen nacheinander von oben her in eine bereitstehende Aufnahme eingelegt. Zum Einführen jeweils einer Beutelgruppe in einen Sammelbehälter wird auf einer nachfolgenden Station die gefüllte Aufnahme vom Drehstern gelöst und von oben in einen Sammelbehälter eingeführt. Die Aufnahme wird durch Anheben entleert, wobei ein Rückhaltestempel auf der Beutelgruppe aufliegt und diese einen nachgiebigen Haltebord verdrängend bodenseitig aus der Aufnahme austritt.Furthermore, from DE-A-1 205 887 a device for introducing flat bag packs into collecting containers is known, which has vertically oriented receptacles on a rotary star for assembling bag groups. At a station of the rotary star, the individual bag packs are placed one after the other into a ready-made holder. To insert a group of bags into a collection container, the filled receptacle is released from the rotary star at a subsequent station and inserted into a collection container from above. The receptacle is emptied by lifting it, a retention stamp resting on the bag group and this displacing a resilient holding board emerging from the receptacle on the bottom.

Beschreibung der ErfindungDescription of the invention

An den Enden der Arme eines Drehkreuzes 10, das schrittweise um eine senkrechte Achse um jeweils 90° gedreht wird, ist je ein Hohldorn 11 an seinem oberen Ende befestigt, dessen Längsachse parallel zur Drehachse verläuft. Die Hohldorne 11 haben einen rechteckigen Querschnitt und sind oben und unten offen. Der Öffnungsquerschnitt der Hohldorne 11 entspricht der Deckfläche der zu verpackenden Gegenstände, beispielsweise Beutelpackungen 1. Das untere Ende der Hohldorne 11 ist mit je einem Paar Klappen 12, 13 verschliessbar. Die Klappen 12, 13 sind an Armen 14, 15 befestigt, welche am oberen Ende jedes Hohldorns 11 an die in Umlaufrichtung vordere Seite angrenzend angelenkt sind. Die Klappen 12, 13 sind mittels nicht dargestellter hydraulischer oder pneumatischer Arbeitszylinder betätigbar. In jedem Hohldorn 11 ist ein Gewichtskörper 16 heb- und senkbar, der in Längsnuten 17 geführt ist und dessen Weg durch diese begrenzt ist.At the ends of the arms of a turnstile 10, which is rotated step by step around a vertical axis by 90 °, a hollow mandrel 11 is fastened at its upper end, the longitudinal axis of which runs parallel to the axis of rotation. The hollow mandrels 11 have a rectangular cross section and are open at the top and bottom. The opening cross section of the hollow mandrels 11 corresponds to the top surface of the objects to be packaged, for example bag packs 1. The lower end of the hollow mandrels 11 can be closed with a pair of flaps 12, 13 each. The flaps 12, 13 are fastened to arms 14, 15, which are articulated at the upper end of each hollow mandrel 11 to the front side adjacent in the circumferential direction. The flaps 12, 13 can be actuated by means of hydraulic or pneumatic working cylinders, not shown. In each hollow mandrel 11, a weight body 16 can be raised and lowered, which is guided in longitudinal grooves 17 and the path of which is limited by these.

An einer ersten Station I der Hohldorne 11 ist eine Stapel- und Übergabeeinrichtung 20 angeordnet. Diese hat in Deckung unterhalb des dort stehenden Hohldorns 11 einen Schacht 21, eine Hubplatte 22 sowie zwei in gegensinnigem Drehsinn umlaufende Revolver 23, 24 mit je vier axial aussermittig abstehenden Platten 25. Die Platten 25 sind in den Revolvern 23, 24 drehbar gelagert und mit einem Getriebe verbunden, so dass sie beim Umlaufen immer eine waagerechte Stellung einnehmen und jeweils paarweise in einer Ebene liegen. Die Platten 25 sind in Verlängerung ihrer einen Seite gelagert, die den Platten 25 des jeweils anderen Revolvers 23, 24 abgewandt ist. Beim Umlaufen der Revolver 23, 24 nähern sich vom unteren Totpunkt an jeweils eine Platte 25 des einen und des anderen Revolvers 23 bzw. 24 gegeneinander, laufen in Kreisbogen nach oben und gehen wieder auseinander. Während ihrer Aufwärtsbewegung sind die Platten 25 im Deckungsbereich des Schachtes 21.A stacking and transfer device 20 is arranged at a first station I of the hollow mandrels 11. This has a shaft 21, a lifting plate 22 as well as two revolvers 23, 24 rotating in opposite directions, each with four axially eccentrically projecting plates 25. The plates 25 are rotatably mounted in the revolvers 23, 24 and with connected to a gearbox so that they always assume a horizontal position when rotating and lie in pairs on one level. The plates 25 are mounted in an extension of one side, which faces away from the plates 25 of the other turret 23, 24. When revolvers 23, 24 revolve, a plate 25 of one and the other revolvers 23 and 24 approach each other from bottom dead center, run upwards in a circular arc and diverge again. During their upward movement, the plates 25 are in the cover area of the shaft 21.

Zu der Stapeleinrichtung 20 führt ein endloses Förderband 30, dessen eine Umlenkstrecke vor den vorderen freien Enden der Platten 25 liegt. Die Förderebene dieses Förderbandes 30 liegt etwa in Höhe oder etwas niedriger als die Drehachsen der Revolver 23, 24 und die Förderachse liegt etwa mittig parallel zwischen den Drehachsen der Revolver 23, 24. Das Förderband 30 führt von einer Beutelmaschine hergestellte Beutelpackungen 1 flachliegend nacheinander zu der Stapeleinrichtung 20. Die jeweils vorderste Beutelpackung 1 gelangt beim Passieren der vorderen Umlenkstrecke des Förderbandes 30 auf zwei von unten in die Hubstrecke einlaufende Platten 25 und wird auf diese vollends aufgeschoben, während diese sich noch mehr einander nähern. Das Plattenpaar 25 hebt die übernommene Beutelpackung 1 beim Umlaufen in den Schacht 21 und gelangt dann ausser Berührung mit der Beutelpackung 1, die im Schacht 21 gehalten wird. Auf diese Weise wird eine Beutelpackung 1 nach der anderen in den Schacht 21 gehoben, wobei die jeweils unterste die zuvor in den Schacht 21 eingebrachten nach oben drückt. Dabei wird ein Stapel gebildet, der sich nach und nach auch in den über dem Schacht 21 befindlichen Hohldorn 11 erstreckt, dessen Klappen 12, 13 während des Füllens geöffnet sind.An endless conveyor belt 30 leads to the stacking device 20, one deflection section of which lies in front of the front free ends of the plates 25. The conveying plane of this conveyor belt 30 is approximately at the height or somewhat lower than the axes of rotation of the revolvers 23, 24 and the conveying axis is approximately centrally parallel between the axes of rotation of the revolvers 23, 24. The conveyor belt 30 leads bag packs 1 produced by a bag machine to the flat one after the other Stacking device 20. The respective foremost pouch pack 1, when passing through the front deflecting section of the conveyor belt 30, reaches two plates 25 entering the lifting section from below and is pushed completely onto the latter as they approach each other even more. The plate pair 25 lifts the bag pack 1 that has been taken over as it rotates into the shaft 21 and then comes out of contact with the bag pack 1 that is held in the shaft 21. In this way, one pack of bags 1 is lifted into the shaft 21 after the other, the lowest one pushing the one previously inserted into the shaft 21 upwards. A stack is formed which gradually extends into the hollow mandrel 11 located above the shaft 21, the flaps 12, 13 of which are open during filling.

Nach Zuführen einer vorbestimmten Anzahl von Beutelpackungen 1 in die Stapeleinrichtung 20, was von einem Zähler 31 überwacht wird, gibt der Zähler 31 ein Signal an die nicht dargestellte Betätigungseinrichtung der Hubplatte 22. Diese fährt nun aus ihrer dargestellten Wartestellung in waagerechter Ebene in den Deckungsbereich des Schachtes 21 und dann nach oben, wobei sie durch einen Schlitz 29 im Schacht 21 ragt. Dabei hebt sie die gestapelten Beutelpackungen 1 an und drückt die im Schacht 21 befindlichen in den Hohldorn 11. Darauf werden die Klappen 12, 13 in Schliessstellung und die Hubplatte 22 wieder in ihre Wartestellung verbracht. Während anschliessend das Drehkreuz um 90° weitergeschaltet wird, heben die Plattenpaare 25 die neu ankommenden Beutelpackungen 1 in den Schacht 21, der als Zwischenspeicher wirkt. Der neu in die Station I verbrachte Hohldorn 11 wird darauf in gleicher Weise gefüllt.After feeding a predetermined number of bag packs 1 into the stacking device 20, what is monitored by a counter 31, the counter 31 sends a signal to the actuating device, not shown, of the lifting plate 22. This now moves from its waiting position shown in a horizontal plane into the cover area of the shaft 21 and then upwards, through a slot 29 in the Shaft 21 protrudes. It lifts the stacked bag packs 1 and presses the ones in the shaft 21 into the hollow mandrel 11. Then the flaps 12, 13 are brought into the closed position and the lifting plate 22 is returned to its waiting position. While the turnstile is then switched through 90 °, the plate pairs 25 lift the newly arriving bag packs 1 into the shaft 21, which acts as a buffer. The Hohldorn 11, which has just been moved to Station I, is filled in the same way.

Auf Station II wird, nachdem ein mit Beutelpackungen 1 gefüllter Hohldorn 11 angelangt ist, ein Zuschnitt 2 für einen Sammelbehälter 3 gegen die Unterseite des Hohldorns 11 angelegt und mit einem Faltapparat 40 (Fig.3) um dessen Seitenwände gefaltet. Der Zuschnitt 2 hat einen Boden 4, und daran angelenkte Felder für die Schmalseiten 5, 6, an dem Feld 5 seitlich angelenkte Felder 7, 8 für die Breitseiten, und einen am Feld 6 angelenkten Deckel 9. Ferner hat der Zuschnitt 2 Verbindungslaschen am Boden 4 und am Feld 6.At station II, after a hollow mandrel 11 filled with bag packs 1 has arrived, a blank 2 for a collecting container 3 is placed against the underside of the hollow mandrel 11 and folded around its side walls with a folding device 40 (FIG. 3). The blank 2 has a bottom 4, and fields articulated thereon for the narrow sides 5, 6, fields 7, 8 articulated laterally on the field 5 for the broad sides, and a lid 9 articulated on the field 6. Furthermore, the blank has 2 connecting straps on the bottom 4 and in field 6.

Bevor der Zuschnitt 2 in die Station 11 eingebracht wird, werden Bereiche, die mit den Verbindungslaschen verklebt werden sollen, mit Klebstoff versehen.Before the blank 2 is introduced into the station 11, areas which are to be glued to the connecting tabs are provided with adhesive.

Nach Anlegen des Zuschnitts 2 mit seinem Boden 4 gegen die Unterseite des Hohldorns 11 mit dem Mittelstück 41 des Faltapparats 40, werden zunächst die Klappen 12, 13 zurückgeschwenkt. Darauf schwenken Falter 42 am Mittelstück 41 die am Boden 4 des Zuschnitts 2 angelenkten Verbindungslaschen nach oben. Gleichzeitig schwenkt ein Faltblech 43 das eine Feld 6 gegen die in Umlaufrichtung vordere Seite des Hohldorns 11 und an diesem Faltblech 43 angelenkte Falter 44 drücken die Verbindungslaschen am Feld 6 auf die angrenzenden Seiten des Hohldorns 11 unter die abgeschwenkten Arme 14, 15 für die Klappen 12, 13. Mit etwas Verzögerung schwenkt ein Faltblech 45 das Feld 5 gegen die in Umlaufrichtung des Hohldorns 11 hintere Seite und an diesem Faltblech 45 angelenkte Falter 46 legen die mit dem Feld 5 verbundenen beiden Felder 7, 8 auf die noch freien Seiten des Hohldorns 11, so dass deren Randbereiche mit den Verbindungslaschen am Boden 4 und am Feld 6 verkleben. Beim anschliessenden Schaltschritt wird der auf fünf Seiten von dem so gebildeten Sammelbehälter 3 umhüllte Hohldorn 11 von der Station 11 in die Station 111 verbracht, wo mittels einer Zugabeeinrichtung 35 besondere, zu den Beutelpackungen 1 mitgelieferte Zutaten in den Hohldorn 11 auf den Beutelstapel eingebracht werden können.After placing the blank 2 with its bottom 4 against the underside of the hollow mandrel 11 with the middle piece 41 of the folding apparatus 40, the flaps 12, 13 are first pivoted back. Folders 42 on the center piece 41 then pivot the connecting tabs articulated on the bottom 4 of the blank 2 upwards. At the same time, a folding plate 43 pivots the field 6 against the front side of the hollow mandrel 11, which is articulated in the circumferential direction, and the folder 44 articulated on this folding plate 43 press the connecting tabs on the field 6 onto the adjacent sides of the hollow mandrel 11 under the pivoted arms 14, 15 for the flaps 12 , 13. With a little delay, a folding plate 45 pivots the field 5 against the rear side in the circumferential direction of the hollow mandrel 11 and, on this folding plate 45, folders 46 place the two fields 7, 8 connected to the field 5 on the still free sides of the hollow mandrel 11 , so that their edge areas glue to the connecting tabs on the bottom 4 and on the field 6. In the subsequent switching step, the hollow mandrel 11 encased on five sides by the collecting container 3 thus formed is moved from the station 11 to the station 111, where by means of an addition device 35 special ingredients supplied with the bag packs 1 can be introduced into the hollow mandrel 11 on the stack of bags .

Nach einem weiteren Schaltschritt des Drehkreuzes 10 dringt auf Station IV ein Stempel 36 von oben in den Hohldorn 11 ein und schiebt den Beutelstapel mitsamt dem den Hohldorn 11 umgebenden Sammelbehälter 3 nach unten auf ein Podest 37, von wo dieser mit einem Schieber 38 zum Verschliessen des Kopfes mit dem Deckel 9 seitlich weggeschoben wird.After a further switching step of the turnstile 10, a stamp 36 penetrates from above into the hollow mandrel 11 at station IV and pushes the stack of bags together with the collecting container 3 surrounding the hollow mandrel 11 down onto a platform 37, from where it is closed with a slide 38 for closing the Head with the lid 9 is pushed sideways.
