Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging machine according to the preamble of the main claim.
  • the individual processing and handling devices such as Feeding, conveying, folding, shaping and closing devices set up adjustable.
  • the adjustable parts have slots through which releasable clamping screws engage, or they are fastened to slide guides which can be adjusted in a finely adjustable manner using adjusting screws.
  • the conversion of the known machines to another format takes a lot of time.
  • Cartoning machines in which individual tools and components are equipped with a motor-driven adjusting device have also become known.
  • the adjustment devices provided with a position transmitter can be controlled by a central control device in which format-dependent data are stored.
  • Such adjustment devices are advantageous on components that are difficult to see and access. Equipping all the tools and components of a packaging machine that can be converted depending on the format requires a very high level of construction. Furthermore, there is no space available for drive motors in many places on the machine.
  • the packaging machine according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that a format change can be carried out selectively and very quickly and readjustments can be omitted.
  • a format change can be carried out by an operator who does not have extensive machine knowledge and experience, but can be trained.
  • control unit can control the predetermined target positions of the components quickly and precisely.
  • FIG. 1 shows a cartoning machine simplified in a diagrammatic representation
  • FIG. 2 shows a folding device of the packaging machine according to FIG. 1 with an adjusting device in a diagrammatic representation
  • FIG. 3 simplifies the mobile drive for support devices
  • FIG. 4 shows a block diagram of a control for the mobile drive.
  • a cartoning machine 10 which is shown by way of example for a packaging machine, has a product feed device 11, a brochure folder 12, a folding box magazine 13, a folding box conveyor device 14 with driver fingers 15, a product insertion device 16, a folding and closing device 17, an outlet 18 and a control device 19.
  • the devices 11 to 18 of the cartoning machine 10 have adjustable tools and components in a certain range, so that the machine for packing objects with different dimensions in folding boxes 1 with adapted length, width and height can be changed.
  • FIG. 2 For the convertibility of the devices 11 to 18, only one folding rail 20 of the folding and closing device 17 for folding over an insertion flap 2 on a front flap 3 of the folding boxes 1 is shown and explained by way of example (FIG. 2).
  • the folding rail 20 is to be positioned in a specific position with respect to support rails 21, 22 of the conveying device 14, a folding switch 23 and a folding slide 24 which is moved in cycles.
  • the folding rail 20 is carried by an angled arm 26 which is attached to a carriage 27 a sliding guide 25 is fastened with screws 28.
  • the carriage 27 is displaceable on a guide rail 30 which extends in a horizontal plane transversely to the conveying direction of the folding box conveyor 14 and the longitudinal extent of the folding rail 20.
  • a set screw 32 is rotatably but not axially displaceably mounted in a bearing block 31 on the guide rail 30 and engages with its threaded part in a threaded bore 34 of an eye 33 on the carriage 27.
  • the set screw 32 has a head 35 with a hexagon recess 36 with which a hexagon pin of a tool can be coupled in a form-fitting manner.
  • the carriage 27 with the arm 26 and the folding rail 20 is moved horizontally.
  • the one end position of the slide 27, in which the slide 27 rests on the foot of the bearing block 31 on the rail 30, is referred to as the reference zero position, which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • the guide rail 30 is not rigidly attached to the machine frame 37, but can be moved vertically with a right-angled arm 38 in a carriage 40 fixed to the machine frame 37 with screws 39.
  • the second slide guide 41 consisting of the arm 38 and the slide 40 has, like the slide guide 25, an adjusting screw 32 with a head 35 and an eye 33 with a threaded bore 34 as well as a bearing block 31.
  • the guide rail 30 has an elongated hole 43 in extension to the set screw 32.
  • the arm 26 has an opening 44 through which the guide rail 30 engages.
  • a releasable locking screw 45 is screwed into the slide 27, 40 and presses on the guide rail 30 or 38.
  • the other devices 11 to 18 and their components are equipped, which can be adjusted to different formats of the products to be packaged and the folding boxes used, with a single slide guide for one-dimensional adjustment and two for two-dimensional adjustment angularly coupled sliding guides are arranged.
  • the coupling piece 51 can also be arranged on an extension which can be connected to the drive unit 50.
  • the drive unit 50 contains an electric motor 49 which can be switched in the direction of rotation and a position transmitter 52.
  • the position transmitter 52 which generates electrical signals as a function of the respective position of a sliding guide, is preferably of the type which generates a specific number of electrical pulses per revolution.
  • the drive unit 50 has a push-button contact 53 which can be actuated by finger.
  • the drive unit 50 is connected to a switching device 55 by means of a multi-core cable 54.
  • This switching device 55 can in turn be connected by means of a cable 56 and a plug 57 to one of a plurality of connections 58 of a distributor or ring line 59 which leads to the central control device 19.
  • the switching device 55 has a light indicator 61 for the identification number of the changeover point to be addressed, a light indicator 62 for the position, an input keyboard 63 with preselection keys for entering, deleting and correcting numbers of the changeover points and positions, as well as a plurality of indicator lights 64 an amplifier 65 is provided.
  • the switching device 55 which can also be attached to the mobile drive unit 50, is not stationary, like the mobile drive unit, so that the operator takes it together with the mobile drive unit 50 to the respective changeover point of the machine to be started and initiate and monitor a changeover there can.
  • control device 19 also has an input keyboard 71 with the same functions as that of the input keyboard 61.
  • control device 19 has two operating mode switches 68, 69.
  • a monitor 72 is arranged on the control device 19, on which the operator can see Information and instructions can be displayed under program control.
  • control unit 19 contains a memory 73 for storing the data of the individual changeover points of the machine, provided with identification numbers, for several formats, as well as programs for the sequence of the changeovers. The stored and entered data and signals are processed by a microprocessor 74 and forwarded as signals.
  • the keyboard 71, the monitor 72, the memory 73, the microprocessor 74, the switching device 55 and the mobile drive unit 50 are connected to one another via two interfaces 75, 76. Signals about the respective positions of movable components and tools of the machine can also be input into the control system via the interface 75.
  • the individual programs and data are stored in the memory 73. If the data exceeds the capacity of the memory 73, other programs can also be introduced into the control device 19 on floppy disks and similar data carriers.
  • the data for the individual programs can be entered into the memory via the keyboard 71 of the control unit on the basis of the known displacement paths. However, they can also be recorded and entered empirically by first adjusting the changeover points manually to the format and then sliding the sliding guide 25 of each changeover point back to the reference zero position with the mobile drive unit 50.
  • the signals generated by the position transmitter 52 of the drive unit 50 are forwarded to the microprocessor 74, evaluated by the latter and stored in the memory 73.
  • stationary drive units are arranged at changeover points that are not accessible, which in addition to a drive motor also have a position transmitter. These changeover points are set during the course of the selected program or by input from the operator via the keyboard 71 of the control unit 19.
