Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine, the function of which is that of compacting and then tying, by means of a plastic, thermically soldering film, a pre-determined number of foldable cases and boxes, which will be used for packing food or industrial products in general.
  • the machine is employed at an advantage if it is connected after a folding gluing machine, which is already widely used in this line of business and which has the task of folding one or two edges of the boxes and then glues these on the side of the box which is prearranged for this purpose.
  • the machine known and used at present for the packing purpose in this line of business do not carry out the compacting and the tying of the parcel; they only receive the flattened boxes conveyed by a conveyor belt and arranged in a fish-scale pattern on the horizontal surface and they assemble them edgewise in a vertical position, until a photocell feels that one of the boxes has been previously rearranged in a different position as compared to the others, and the assembling in the vertical sense is halted.
  • the parcel of boxes which has been formed but not tied is dropped into an underlying box, having the right dimensions for this purpose, where they will place themselves. If the underlying box is meant to receive several rows of boxes, it will have to be moved to the suitable position after every fall, so as to obtain a complete filling.
  • the machine of this invention consists of a first feeding roller-conveyor arranged in a hortogonal position in relation to the enterprise ofthe machine on which arrive the flattened boxes, arranged in a fish-scale arrangement, which are coming out of the folding/gluing machine located prior to this machine.
  • the flow of boxes which arrive on the feeding roller conveyor fall on the working surface of the machine and a new fish-scale arranged flow is created by means of the conveyor belts which are present on the working surface and which are parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine.
  • a mobile vertical striker which is located at the end of the conveyor belts allows the boxes to assemble vertically until,after a certain pre-selected number has been reached, a barrier which is located in the central area of the machine stops the boxes which keep on coming.
  • the combined action of two mobile forks one of which is placed at the end of the machine in relation to the soldering area, the other one being placed approximately at the center of the machine, compacts the pre-selected and pre-counted boxes, so as to form a parcel, which is then transferredto the end part of the machine, where it is tied with a thermically retractable film made of plastic material.
  • the machine is also equipped with a sensor which allows it to vary the speed of the conveyor belts and therefore the speed for the formation and the binding of the parcel, according to the flow arriving from the folding/gluing machine. This is done by means of a rod with dandy movement, which is connected with a potentiometer adjusting the conveyor-belt speed.
  • the rod rests on the collector of the boxes which have just fallen on the machine and it feels the height variation due to a-higher or lower piling of the underlying boxes and, as a consequence, it causes the speed variation of the conveyor belts and thereby tends to keep at a stable level the pile of boxes which it controls.
  • the production of the machine is made flexible and it is allowed to adjust itself to the flow variations from the preceding It also allows it to recover, in some cases, abnormal accumulations or to stop in case of lack of feeding.
  • the feeding roller conveyor consisting of loose rollers can be lengthened by adding some supplementary rollers so that it can be adapted to boxes of different sizes. In fact it is necessary that the boxes fall on the working surface in such a way that the fish-scale arrangement which forms anew has its axis coinciding with the brgitudinal axis of the surface of the machine, so that the final tying process also occurs on the axis of the formed parcel.
  • This machine is equipped with a mechanism, which at the same time keeps the flow of boxes at a constant level and counts them. It consists of an rod which is adjustable in height and which terminates with a moulded head, under which a flow of boxes arranged in a fish-scale arrangement passes. The height of the flow is constant. This head is also equipped with a bar which is connected with an impulse counter, which counts the passing boxes.
  • the surface of the machine is equipped with the conveyor belts 5, which cause the forming fish-scale until the latter reaches the striker no.6.
  • striker consists of a vertical fork which surfaces from the machine surface by means of a pneumatic cylinder 7.
  • the first element consists of a r od -shaped sensor 9 ( fig. 4) which is located immediately below the feeding roller conveyor and which - since it is hinged in 10 - always remains in contact with the boxes of pile 11, which is created by the feeding done by roller plane 1.
  • Fi g . 6 shows this adjusting device 12 which is located after pile 11, and therefore, immediately after the formation of the flow of boxes in relation to the longitudinal axis of the machine.
  • This device has a height adjustment and can, therefore, be positioned according to the specific need; the form which it takes causes the flow of boxes to maintain a constant height.
  • Device 12 is also equipped with an impulse counter (13), with a small lever (14) which makes it possible to count the passing boxes.
  • cylinder 15 ( fig. 1) causes hook 16, consisting of a "L"-shaped plate, which is suited to forestall the flow of the incoming boxes, to drop.
  • the separation between the boxes which have been counted and have arrived at the compacting step toward fork 6 from the boxes which are still beyond hook 16 is carried out.
  • the upper fork 17, operated by a pneumatic cylinder drops until it skims the working surface.
  • forefork 19 While fork 17, pushed by cylinder 18, pushes the ready parcel out of the machine, forefork 19 follows this displacement by opposing a certain degree of resistance, because of its connection to cylinder 20 ( fig. 2). Such resistance, which can be adjusted and pre-selected, has the purpose of further compacting the formed parcel. As soon as fork 17 begins the horizontal displacement, hook 16, which had temporarily stopped the fish-scale shaped flow, resumes its lifted position and thereby allows the accumulated boxes to proceed toward the compacting area.
  • soldering head 21 In the area of operation of soldering head 21 there are, therefore, two overlapping layers of plastic film and the head operates two soldering actions, one on the left and one on the right and at the same time it cuts the two plastic layers at the center.
  • Fig. 3 shows a magnified view of the head and there it is possible to see the two soldering areas (27 and 28) and the cutting area (29).
  • the head seals the film band around the formed parcel and at the same time it joins the two ends of the spools by the second soldering process: these two ends having being created by the cutting operation performed by the head self.
  • Conveyor belt 26 (see fi g. 2) is placed transversally in relation to conveyor belts 5 of the machine and it can be operated indifferently in one direction or the other, according to where the unloading area is located. After the unloading operation has been performed, conveyor belt 26 stops again and striking fork 19 goes back to the initial position shown in f ig 1.
  • spools 24 and 25 containing the thermically soldering plastic film not only allows the re-joining together of the film after each cutting process because of the special form of the soldering head, but by equal diameters of the spools employed, they also double the autonomy of the machine.
  • the machine which is the object of the present invention can receive two soldering heads and four spools of plastic film instead of two and this in order to allow a double tying of the formed parcel.
  • it is possible to provide a direct feeding system of the machine i.e. with a feeding conveyor parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine, rather than one placed at 90°, as previously described.
  • Fig 5 shows in detail the loose-roller conveyor 1 on which the flow of boxes pass before reaching the machine.
  • the possibility of extending this roller-conveyor is obtained by means of a sliding guide in the shapes 31 and 32 where the rollers are placed in relation to the fixed shapes 33 and 34.
  • Other rollers are added through slits 35 and 36 in order to create the necessary continuity of the roller conveyor and the blocking of the two parts of the roller conveyor is done by means of bolts 37 and 38.
