Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the orderly insertion of objects, in particular chocolates, into receptacles, for example packaging inserts for sales boxes, in which the receptacles, each of which within a loading area, each have a number by means of an X and a Y coordinate in a co-ordinate coordinate system is assigned to certain storage locations, are transported at fixed mutual intervals in succession in a predetermined direction (X direction) past at least one insertion station and in the insertion station the individually picked up objects in a cyclical insertion movement synchronized with the transport movement of the receiving containers transversely to the X direction ( in the Y direction) in accordance with the Y coordinate of the controlled storage location is moved over a receiving container and is inserted at the storage location into the receiving container transported past.
  • the invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method, with a continuously driven transport device which transports the holding containers, which are held at fixed mutual distances, in a predetermined direction (X-direction) and at least one loading device arranged in an insertion station next to the transport device, the one the article-feeding device is assigned and the one receiving the article and in a cyclical insertion movement along a predetermined path via one of the receptacles transported by the transport device past the insertion device to a position corresponding to the Y-coordinate of the respectively controlled storage location and transferring it at the location Inserting means are assigned to the storage location, the drive of the insertion device being synchronized with the drive of the transport device.
  • a device operating according to the above-mentioned method with these features is known from US-A-3191 357. It is used to place confectionery pieces or chocolates, preferably in paper cups, in sales boxes, the interior of which is divided into rows and columns of rectangular cross-sectional compartments by a packaging insert with walls crossing at right angles.
  • the sales boxes are one by one at fixed intervals arranged carrier carrying, continuously driven conveyor through an insertion station, in which a plurality of insertion devices are arranged side by side on both sides of the conveyor.
  • Each of these inserting devices has an elongated closed path which lies in a horizontal plane parallel to the conveyor and along which the individually fed chocolates are moved by inserting means which are designed in the form of a resilient inserting judge and an associated inserting plunger.
  • the closed path is laid with a straight path part above the conveyor parallel to its transport direction in such a way that the chocolates moved along this path part in the same direction as the conveyor are each exactly above their respective storage location when the insertion ram becomes effective.
  • Another device for inserting chocolates or the like in packaging inserts allows confectionery pieces, in particular chocolates, to be placed anywhere on a packaging insert without the position of the entire device relative to the associated conveyor for the Packaging inserts would have to be changed.
  • relatively time-consuming conversion work is also required here.
  • the chocolates are in each case aligned in rows by means of parallel conveyor tracks in the Y direction via the packaging inserts transported in the X direction against adjustable stops, the setting of which corresponds to the Y coordinate of the respective storage location.
  • Individual objects are removed from the parallel rows thus pent-up by assigned grippers, which can be moved in parallel paths extending in the X direction, and inserted at the respective storage location of the respective packaging insert.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a device which allow objects, in particular chocolates, to be automatically inserted at freely selectable storage locations in the passing receptacles, for example packaging inserts, and the storage location can be freely programmed, for example by Change receptacle to receptacle.
  • the method mentioned in the introduction proceeds according to the invention in such a way that the insertion movement is phase-shifted in time with respect to the transport movement by a fixed value which is dependent on the X coordinate of a storage location which is optionally controlled.
  • the insertion movement can take place along a path that is perpendicular to the X direction and lies in a vertical plane, which results in the smallest lateral space requirement in the X direction results. A plurality of such insertion movements can therefore be carried out side by side in a narrow space.
  • the insertion movement takes place over a constant path in the Y direction, the stroke path being shifted in the Y direction depending on the Y coordinate of the controlled storage location.
  • the objects are given an additional movement component in the X direction, at least in the last movement phase preceding the storage.
  • the new method allows a freely programmable, optional control of any storage location in the continuously moving receptacles, without having to interrupt the operation.
  • a device for performing the method with the features mentioned at the outset is characterized according to the invention in that it has a device for generating a phase shift corresponding to the X coordinate of an optionally controlled storage location between the drives of the insertion device and the transport device.
  • the drives of the insertion and transport device can be coupled to one another via a twist clutch, which in a preferred embodiment is formed by a differential gear, into which an additional rotary movement can be initiated by an assigned actuator.
  • a simple control intervention on the actuator can thus be used to selectively control any storage location in the X-direction at a different location from work cycle to work cycle of the receiving containers passing the insertion device.
  • the control intervention on the actuator does not require stopping the system, so that it is readily possible to produce different levels and to feed pack for example.
  • the working movement of the inserting means and the transport device is independent of the adjustment movement which the actuator carries out.
  • the insertion device has an insertion head which carries the movable insertion means, which is adjustably mounted on stationary guideways in the Y direction and is coupled to an actuator which effects the adjustment according to the Y coordinate of the optionally controlled storage location.
  • an actuator which effects the adjustment according to the Y coordinate of the optionally controlled storage location.
  • the insertion means which are designed as grippers or suction devices, can be movably mounted on the insertion head by means of a cam-controlled lever transmission along a predetermined path, which lies in a vertical plane extending in the Y direction.
  • a particularly narrow design of the entire insertion device which can be designed, for example, in the form of a narrow unit, the width of which is smaller than the length of a receptacle, in which case a number of these narrow units can be arranged next to one another on both sides of the transport device in the insertion station , so that a minimal longitudinal extension of the insertion station is achieved.
  • the feed device for the objects is coupled to the inserting head in such a way that it can be adjusted together with the inserting head so that the Insert means can always pick up the supplied objects at the same distance.
  • the feed device can row the objects to one of the movement paths of the inserting means have spatially firmly assigned receiving point bringing conveyor.
  • the transport device which moves the receptacles, arranged one behind the other at fixed intervals, through the insertion station, can be designed in the form of a belt or chain conveyor which carries drivers for the receptacles arranged at fixed intervals.
  • the arrangement can also be such that the transport device has an optionally continuously driven smooth conveyor track, on which the receptacles lie one behind the other and to which, in the area of the insertion station, at least on one side is associated a continuous, endless conveying means which is arranged at equal intervals, carries on the receptacles engaging from the side and is partially guided parallel to the conveyor track with a strand, its drive being synchronized with the drive of the insertion device and the conveyor being driven at a relative speed to the conveyor track.
  • the receptacles are pressed against the drivers during the movement through the insertion station with a frictional force resulting from the relative movement to the conveyor track. This ensures that the receptacle is at exactly the same intervals and therefore at exactly the same Work cycles run through the insertion station and are perfectly aligned at the same time.
  • the distance between the carriers corresponds to the maximum value of the length of the transported receptacles; Regardless of their length, the receptacles always lie snugly on one side on the drivers, so that the storage locations are also controlled with the correct coordinates.
  • the drivers are advantageously arranged at the level of the side walls of the shaped recesses for receiving the chocolates.
