Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing packs by wrapping objects in at least one blank, in particular for producing large packs from pack groups (cigarette packs of several cigarette packs in each case), according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Cigarette sticks for example, consist of ten packs of cigarettes that are encased in a common blank. This can consist of cardboard, paper or a film.
  • the construction of such large packs can be chosen so that the pack group is encased by several blanks.
  • a device for producing (6 large) packs, in particular cigarette sticks, is explained in DE-OS 3 123 496.
  • the pack group is alternatively wrapped in a paper blank, in a foil blank or in both of the aforementioned blanks.
  • the pack group passes through one or two folding revolvers, in the area of which blanks can be fed and folds can be made.
  • the large package provided with one or more blanks leaves the device depending on the structure in the area of a first or in the area of the second folding turret.
  • the task now to be solved is to remove the elongated objects, e.g. B. bulk packs of the type mentioned, problem-free, d. H. without tilting and resulting damage to remove from the pockets of the folding turret.
  • the elongated objects are grasped and pushed out over the full length in the turret pockets by the pushers according to the invention. Tilting of the objects, as would be possible with ejectors engaging in the pockets laterally, can be reliably avoided by the invention.
  • the invention is particularly advantageous for the production of cigarette packs, that is to say if several ones Tent objects, namely cigarette packs, are arranged in a row next to each other. An offset of the individual items or cigarette packs due to uneven loading when sliding out of the revolver pockets can no longer occur.
  • the invention is preferably used in a device according to DE-OS 3 123 496, in both folding turrets with mutual coordination of the movement of the pushers assigned to the two turrets or turret pockets.
  • the present exemplary embodiment relates above all to the production of larger packs from a plurality of individual, smaller packs, in particular cigarette packs, which are combined to form a pack group 22 and leave the device as cigarette packs.
  • the pack group 22 can alternatively be wrapped in a cardboard blank and / or in a foil blank or in a paper blank.
  • An example of a cardboard blank (not shown) consists of individual surface areas for forming an upper wall, lower wall, side walls and a tubular cloth. There are side flaps in the area of the lower wall and the side walls.
  • a foil blank can be constructed in a similar manner, namely likewise with an upper wall, lower wall, first longitudinal side wall arranged in between, and two tubular flaps on the edge Formation of the opposite longitudinal side wall.
  • the cardboard blank is preferably prefabricated, namely pre-punched, while the foil blank is separated from a continuous foil web 37.
  • the pack group 22 is wrapped in one or both of the cuts mentioned.
  • the pack group 22 passes through a first folding turret 38 and then a second folding turret 39 regardless of the number and type of blanks. From the latter, the packs are pushed out in the radial direction and into an essentially horizontal removal path 40 brought. In turn. is followed by an upright packing tower 41 into which the finished packs are inserted from below.
  • a blank magazine 42 is associated with the first folding turret 38 to hold a supply of blank blanks.
  • a carton blank is taken out by an unwinder 43 of a known type and inserted into an upright blank web 44.
  • the cardboard blank is conveyed in the upright plane in front of a mouthpiece 46 by transport rollers 45 in the region of this blank web 44. This is arranged upstream of the first folding turret 38 in such a way that the pack group 22 can be inserted in a horizontal plane through the mouthpiece 46 into a pocket 47 of the folding turret 38.
  • the cardboard blank is taken into the pocket 47 when the pack group 22 is inserted and placed around the pack group 22 in a U-shape.
  • the carton blank is cut and the pack group is wrapped by the latter in a manner known per se by means of the folding turret 38 Folding organs, the detailed description of which can be dispensed with here.
  • the folding turret 38 like the downstream folding turret 39, is moved in cycles.
  • the pack or pack group 22 produced so far is ejected from the pocket 47 of the first folding turret 38 and at the same time inserted into an adjacent pocket 65 of the second folding turret 39.
  • the folding turret 39 is also equipped with three pockets 65 arranged at equal circumferential distances from one another. These consist of a pocket lining 66 with a U-shaped cross section, for. B. made of sheet metal. The pockets 65 protrude on the radially outer side or the pocket lining 66 protrudes beyond the profile of the revolver.
  • a turret body consisting of lateral turret disks 67 is provided with radial recesses 68 in the region of the pockets 65.
  • the pocket linings 66 extend within the latter. The free edge thereof is provided with a support leg 69 which is angled in the circumferential direction.
  • the pocket lining 66 extends over the full width of the folding turret 39, and accordingly connects the turret discs 67 to one another.
  • the latter is placed on the outer circumference of the folding turret 39, in such a way that the film blank lies approximately centrally with respect to the pocket 65 in question.
  • the film blank is (only) detected in a region lying at the front in the direction of rotation of the folding turret 39 and fixed by suction air.
  • the folding turret 39 is provided with suction holes 70 on the outer circumference at suitable points.
  • the suction bores 70 in both turret disks 67 are arranged in mutually opposite inserts 71.
  • the film cut is therefore only grasped in the front side areas on the folding turret 39 and is thereby kept free of constraint and wrinkles.
  • the suction bores 70 are connected in a suitable manner to a central vacuum source via suction lines.
  • the wrapping of the pack group 22 or of the previously cut cardboard blank by the foil blank takes place in a manner known in principle.
  • the pack group 22 is inserted into the pocket 65 in the area of the transfer station 64, the film blank provided on the outer circumference of the folding turret 39 is taken along with the pack group 22 in a U-shaped envelope.
  • the blank parts protruding beyond the pocket 65 are then applied to the pack group by suitable folding members.
  • the folded-over blank parts are welded or sealed together in a manner known per se.
  • the folding turrets 38, 39 are designed and driven in a special way.
  • radially movable pushers 96 and 97 are provided in the area of pockets 47 and 65, respectively.
  • these pushers 96, 97 or a transverse bar 98, 99 form the radially inner bottom of the pockets 47 and 65.
  • the transverse bar 98, 99 is attached to (two) guide rods 100 and 101, respectively, in radial Guide bores 102, 103 of a turret shaft 104, 105 are slidably supported and supported.
  • control disks 106, 107 which are assigned to each folding turret 38, 39 (see in particular FIGS. 7 and 8).
  • control rollers 110 run, which are connected to the pushers 96, 97 and the transverse strips 98, 99 thereof via an extension 111.
  • the control disks 106, 107 are driven in rotation, specifically during the standstill phase of the folding turrets 38, 39.
  • the rotary pushers of the control disks 106, 107 and the corresponding design of the cam grooves 108, 109 cause the pushers 96, 97 to be moved while the folding Revolvers 38, 39 moved in one direction or the other.
  • the two control disks 106, 107 are connected to one another by a link 128.
  • the rotation of the two control disks 106, 107 takes place by means of a link 112 connected to the control disk 107 and operatively connected to a central drive, not shown.
  • the movements of the ejectors 96, 97 of the two folding turrets 38, 39 are coordinated with one another in such a way that in the area of the transfer station 64 the packing group 22 is free of play between the facing ejectors 96, 97 of the two folding turrets 38, 39 can be transferred from the pocket 47 of the first folding turret 38 into the opposite pocket 65 of the second folding turret 39.
  • the cam groove 108 of the control disk 106 assigned to the first folding turret 38 is designed in the manner of an ellipse with a dent 129.
  • the cam groove 109 of the control disk 107 assigned to the second folding turret 39 has approximately the contour of a keyhole.
  • the folding turrets 38, 39 and a cutting roller 113 assigned to the second folding turret 39 for separating film blanks from the film web 37 are driven synchronously and at the same peripheral speeds by a common gear.
  • a stepper transmission 114 of a suitable, known type is provided for the cyclical drive.
  • a shift star 115 is shown as the output member of this stepping transmission 114.
  • the turret shaft 104 of the folding turret 38 is driven via toothed wheels 116, 117. Via further gear wheels 118, 119 - starting from the switching star 115 - the turret shaft 105 of the folding turret 39 is driven.
  • the gear wheel 119 is in gear connection with a gear wheel 120 for the rotary drive of the cutting roller 113.
  • the turret shafts 104, 105 and one of the Shaft piece 121 assigned to cutting roller 113 are rotatably mounted in a common machine wall 122.
  • the folding turret 39 / cutting roller 113 unit is also assigned a feed device 123 for the film web 37.
  • the folding turret 39 and the cutting roller 113 adjoining the periphery of the aforementioned folding turret form a drive unit which is coordinated with the feed device 123 with respect to the movement.
  • a section of the film web 37 is conveyed through the latter, which corresponds to the length or width (in the direction of transport) of the film cut required for wrapping the pack group 22. Since the present invention is not intended to relate to the design of the feed device 123 and of the units connected upstream of it, a detailed description of these device parts is unnecessary.
  • the construction according to the invention is particularly advantageous for the removal of elongated objects, e.g. B. cigarette sticks, from pockets of folding revolvers of a packaging machine.
  • the elongated objects are preferably the full length of the narrow side surface in the pockets 47 and 65 of the Folding turret 38 and 39 detected and out pushed. An uneven loading and a consequent displacement of the individual objects or cigarette packs when the pack group 22 is pushed out of the pockets cannot occur.
  • the side disks 67 of the folding turret 39 simultaneously serve to limit the turret pockets 65 to the side.
  • the turret pockets 65 are thus designed to be open only in the radial direction to the outside.
  • the invention can be used for a device with one or more folding turrets of the type mentioned.
