Description

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Kartoniermaschine mit einer Vorrichtung zum Aufrichten und Bereitstellen von Faltschachteln nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs. Eine solche Kartoniermaschine ist z.B. aus der US-PS 31 43 937 bekannt, bei der jeweils eine flachliegende Faltschachtel aus einem Magazin entnommen, einer Fördereinrichtung zugeführt und dabei in eine Rechteckform aufgerichtet wird. Damit der das zu verpackende Gut heranbringende Füllstutzen oder Gutzuführbecher möglichst nahe an die Füllöffnung der Faltschachtel herankommt, werden die an den Faltschachtelwänden angelenkten Verschlußlappen, die zunächst in gleichen Ebenen wie die Wände liegen, aus diesen Ebenen herausgeschwenkt und abgewinkelt geführt. Bei der bekannten Kartoniermaschine ist dazu am Förderweg der Fördereinrichtung eine Weiche mit dreidimensional gestalteten Führungszungen angeordnet, welche beim Fördern der Faltschachteln deren Verschlußlappen von der Füllöffnung abschwenken. Diese Weiche ist zwar einfach aufgebaut, sie beansprucht jedoch eine bestimmte Längserstreckung der Faltschachtelfördereinrichtung. Diese Forderung wirkt sich auf die Länge der Maschine, deren Fördereinrichtung und Gestell aus, so daß die einfach aussehende Vorrichtung einen hohen Aufwand an anderen Teilen bedingt. Es ist daher erstrebenswert, eine Kartoniermaschine mit einer einfachen Vorrichtung zum Aufrichten und Bereitstellen von Faltschachteln zum Befüllen zu schaffen.The invention relates to a cartoning machine with a device for erecting and providing folding boxes according to the preamble of the main claim. Such a cartoning machine is known, for example, from US Pat. No. 3,143,937, in which a flat-lying folding box is removed from a magazine, fed to a conveying device and thereby erected into a rectangular shape. So that the filler neck or product feed cup that brings the goods to be packaged comes as close as possible to the filling opening of the folding box, the flaps hinged to the folding box walls are which are initially on the same level as the walls, pivoted out of these levels and guided at an angle. In the known cartoning machine, a switch with three-dimensionally designed guide tongues is arranged on the conveying path of the conveying device, said tongues pivoting away from the filling opening when the folding boxes are conveyed. This switch is of simple construction, but it requires a certain length of the folding box conveyor. This requirement affects the length of the machine, its conveyor and frame, so that the simple-looking device requires a lot of effort on other parts. It is therefore desirable to create a cartoning machine with a simple device for erecting and providing folding boxes for filling.

Beschreibung des AusführungsbeispielsDescription of the embodiment

Die nur teilweise dargestellte Kartoniermaschine hat eine Fördereinrichtung 10 mit drei endlosen Ketten 11, 12,13; an denen Mitnehmerfinger 14, 15, 16 in bestimmten Abständen so angeordnet sind, daß jeweils eine Faltschachtel 1 zwischen einem in Förderrichtung vorderen und zwei hinteren Mitnehmerfingern 14 bzw. 15, 16 aufgenommen ist. Die Ketten 11, 12, 13 sind im Bereich einer Geradstrecke zwischen Leisten 17, 18 geführt, von denen die oberen 17 die geförderten Faltschachteln 1 tragen.The cartoning machine, which is only partially shown, has a conveyor 10 with three endless chains 11, 12, 13; on which driver fingers 14, 15, 16 are arranged at certain intervals so that a folding box 1 is received between one front and two rear driver fingers 14 and 15, 16 in the conveying direction. The chains 11, 12, 13 are guided in the region of a straight line between strips 17, 18, of which the upper 17 carry the supported folding boxes 1.

Die zu füllenden Faltschachteln 1 sind flachliegend in einem Magazin 19 bevorratet. Zwischen dem Magazin 19 und der Fördereinrichtung 10 ist eine Überführeinrichtung 20 angeordnet, welche jeweils eine'Faltschachtel 1 aus dem Magazin entnimmt, diese aufrichtet und in die Fördereinrichtung 10 einsetzt. Diese Überführeinrichtung 20 hat ein auf einem bogenförmigen Weg zwischen dem Magazin 19 und einer Halteeinrichtung.21 hin-und herschwingendes Saugerpaar 22, das jeweils eine flachliegende Faltschachtel 1 aus dem unteren Ende des Magazins 19 herauszieht und der Halteeinrichtung 21 übergibt, welche ebenfalls zwei Sauger 23 aufweist. Auf dem Anfangsteil seines Rückweges zum Magazin 19 zieht das Saugerpaar 22 die von den Saugern 23 festgehaltene Faltschachtel 1 teilweise auf. Die Überführeinrichtung 20 hat ferner einen zwischen der Halteeinrichtung 21 und der Fördereinrichtung 10 auf- und abschwingenden Sauger 24. Der Sauger 24 ist am freien Ende eines mit der Koppel 25 eines Viergelenk-Kurbelgetriebes 26 verbundenen Armes 27 angeordnet, das eine kontinuierlich angetriebene Kurbel 28, die Koppel 25 und eine Schwinge 29 umfaßt. Der Sauger 24 erfaßt in seinem oberen Totpunkt die von dem Sauger 23 der Hal-teeinrichtung 21 gehaltene, teilweise vorgeöffnete Faltschachtel 1 an deren Boden und zieht sie schräg nach unten zwischen die Mitnehmerfinger 14, 15, 16 der Fördereinrichtung 1. Auf diesem Weg schlägt die eine Kante der Faltschachtel 1 gegen eine schräg nach unten verlaufende Schiene 30 und gleitet an dieser. Durch den vom Sauger ausgeübten Zug und den von der Schiene 30 ausgeübten Druck wird die Faltschachtel 1 auf ihrem Weg zur Fördereinrichtung 10 aufgerichtet, wo sie schließlich ihre Rechteckform zwischen Mitnehmerfingern 14, 15, 16 erlangt und von diesen zum Befüllen und Verschließen mitgenommen wird.The folding boxes 1 to be filled are stored lying flat in a magazine 19. A transfer device 20 is arranged between the magazine 19 and the conveying device 10, each of which removes a folding box 1 from the magazine, erects it and inserts it into the conveying device 10. This transfer device 20 has a pair of suction cups 22 which oscillates back and forth on an arcuate path between the magazine 19 and a holding device 21, each of which pulls a flat-lying folding box 1 out of the lower end of the magazine 19 and transfers it to the holding device 21, which likewise has two suction cups 23 having. On the initial part of its way back to the magazine 19, the pair of suction cups 22 partially opens the folding box 1 held by the suction cups 23. The transfer device 20 also has a suction device 24 which swings up and down between the holding device 21 and the conveying device 10. The suction device 24 is arranged at the free end of an arm 27 connected to the coupling 25 of a four-bar crank mechanism 26 which has a continuously driven crank 28, the coupling 25 and a rocker 29 comprises. The suction device 24 detects the partially pre-opened folding box 1 held by the suction device 23 of the holding device 21 at its bottom and pulls it diagonally downwards between the driving fingers 14, 15, 16 of the conveyor device 1. In this way, the strikes an edge of the folding box 1 against an oblique downward rail 30 and slides on it. Due to the pull exerted by the suction device and the pressure exerted by the rail 30, the folding box 1 is erected on its way to the conveying device 10, where it finally acquires its rectangular shape between driver fingers 14, 15, 16 and is taken along by them for filling and closing.

Damit Gutbecher 34, die parallel zur Geradstrecke der Fördereinrichtung 10 mit dieser synchron laufen und die die zu verpackenden Gegenstände 9 zuführen, möglichst nahe an der Füllöffnung der von der Fördereinrichtung 10 geförderten Faltschachteln 1 geführt und gefördert werden können, müssen die von den Wänden der Faltschachteln 1 abstehenden Verschlußlappen 2-5 nach außen abgeschwenkt werden, so daß die Gegenstände 9 hin- dernislos von einem Gutbecher 34 in eine Faltschachtel 1 übergeschoben werden können. Kritisch dabei ist der beim Überführen einer Faltschachtel 1 von der Halteeinrichtung 21 zur Fördereinrichtung 10 vorne liegende, am Boden 6 angelenkte Verschlußlappen 2, dessen Schwenkachse sich parallel zur Förderrichtung der Fördereinrichtung 10 erstreckt. Zum Umlegen oder Abschwenken dieses Verschlußlappens 2 ist im Bereich der Halteeinrichtung 21 ein Stößer 35 an einem Arm 36 einer Schwinge 37 befestigt, welche über eine Koppel 38 mit einer Kurbel 39 verbunden ist. Der Stößer wird auf einem Kreisbogen so bewegt, daß sein freies Ende bei teilgeöffneter, von den Saugern 23 der Halteeinrichtung 21 gehaltener Faltschachtel 1 seitlich von oben her gegen die Innenseite des unteren Verschlußlappens 2 schlägt und diesen aus der ursprünglich horizontalen in die vertikale Lage nach unten schwenkt (Fig. 3), bevor und während der Überführsauger 24 die Faltschachtel 1 von der Halteeinrichtung 21 zu der Fördereinrichtung 10 bringt. Unterhalb der unteren Totpunktlage des freien Endes des Stössers 35 ist eine Führungsschiene 40 parallel zum Überführweg angeordnet, so daß beim Überführen der Faltschachtel 1 zunächst der untere Verschlußlappen 2 und dann auch der obere Verschlußlappen 3 sich durch die Rückstellkraft des Kartons gegen die Führungsschiene 40 legen und von dieser in abgewinkelter Stellung geführt werden. An die senkrechte Führungsschiene 40 im Überführungsbereich der Faltschachteln 1 schließe sich eine waagerechte in Höhe der oberen Verschlußlappen 2 und 3 verlaufende, ortsfeste Führungsschiene 41 an, welche sich bis zur Füllstelle erstreckt. Die seitlichen Verschlußlappen 4 und 5 der Faltschachteln 1 werden von den Seitenwänden der mit den Mitnehmerfingern 14, 15, 16 der Fördereinrichtung 10 ausgerichteten Gutbecher 34 etwas nach außen im letzten Teil des

umgelenkt..So that good cups 34, which run parallel to the straight section of the conveyor 10 and which feed the objects 9 to be packed, can be guided and conveyed as close as possible to the filling opening of the folding boxes 1 conveyed by the conveyor 10, they have to be conveyed from the walls of the folding boxes 1 protruding flaps 2-5 can be pivoted outwards so that the objects 9 can be pushed unhindered from a good cup 34 into a folding box 1. What is critical here is the closure flap 2, which is articulated on the floor 6 when the folding box 1 is transferred from the holding device 21 to the conveying device 10 and whose pivot axis extends parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying device 10. In order to flip or pivot this closure flap 2, a pusher 35 is fastened in the area of the holding device 21 to an arm 36 of a rocker 37, which is connected to a crank 39 via a coupling 38. The pusher is moved on an arc so that its free end with partially opened, held by the suction cups 23 of the holding device 21 folding box 1 laterally from above against the inside of the lower flap 2 and this swings down from the original horizontal to the vertical position (Fig. 3) before and while the transfer suction device 24 brings the folding box 1 from the holding device 21 to the conveying device 10. Below the bottom dead center position of the free end of the pusher 35, a guide rail 40 is arranged parallel to the transfer path, so that when the folding box 1 is transferred, the lower closing flap 2 and then also the upper closing flap 3 lie against the guide rail 40 by the restoring force of the carton and be guided by this in an angled position. The vertical guide rail 40 in the transfer area of the folding boxes 1 is followed by a horizontal, fixed guide rail 41 running at the height of the upper sealing flaps 2 and 3, which extends to the filling point. The side flaps 4 and 5 of the folding boxes 1 are slightly outward from the side walls of the good cups 34 aligned with the driving fingers 14, 15, 16 of the conveying device 10 in the last part of the
