Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for storing (cigarette) packs, in particular for setting glue spots, with a revolving (dry) revolver which has receptacles (pockets) distributed along the circumference, each for a plurality of packs.
  • Dry turrets should be designed in such a way that they have a high capacity, ensure easy, quick insertion and removal of the packs and, moreover, do not impair the production flow of the packaging machine.
  • the invention relates to a device of the type mentioned, wherein the dry turret has the aforementioned properties as part of this device.
  • the object on which the invention is based is to further increase the performance, in particular the capacity of the dry turret, to improve the handling, in particular the loading and emptying of packages, and in particular to compensate for disruptions in the delivery of packages.
  • the device according to the invention is characterized in that the pockets of the dry turret are (approximately) directed radially and have subdivisions for supporting each pack in the longitudinal direction of the pocket.
  • the support of the individual packs in the pockets of the dry turret is effected according to a further feature of the invention by step-like formation of side walls of the pockets, in such a way that the packages within the pockets are each supported on an adjacent package and in the absence of a package in the neighboring chamber on a pocket offset.
  • the dry turret can be operated uniformly and continuously, regardless of any interruptions in the delivery of the packs. Any gaps in the delivery of the packs result in the bags not being completely filled, but without the pre-filled ones change the relative position of the packs.
  • Another special feature of the invention is the loading and emptying of the pockets of the dry turret.
  • a number of packs corresponding to the capacity of the pocket or the number of chambers is conveyed in the area of a filling station into a position adjacent to a pocket and aligned in each case with respect to the chambers thereof.
  • the relevant group of packs is pushed into the pocket by a common transverse movement (approximately axially parallel direction).
  • the group of packs which have now been set is conveyed out of the pockets by transverse or parallel displacement. These are therefore open on the side.
  • the packs assigned to a bag are collected on a packing platform.
  • This is equipped with a number of adjustable, namely scale-like, pivotable platforms, each for receiving a pack, corresponding to the number of packs in a bag.
  • adjustable platforms namely scale-like, pivotable platforms, each for receiving a pack, corresponding to the number of packs in a bag.
  • the device shown in the drawings is used in connection with a packaging machine for cigarette packs, in particular for so-called soft cup packs. It is a question of temporarily storing the largely finished packs in such a way that glue spots in the area of folding tabs can set.
  • the packs consist of an inner wrapping (tinfoil cut) and a soft cup made of paper.
  • the heart of the device is a drying turret 20, to which the packs 21 coming from a packaging machine are fed by conveying members.
  • the packs 21 are transported by a conveying drum 22 and by an adjoining transfer turret 23. Both conveying members are provided along the circumference with conveying pockets 24 and 25, respectively, for receiving a pack 21.
  • the packs 21 are thus fed to a charging station 26 of the dry turret 20 at a distance from one another and are introduced into the dry turret 20 in groups — in the present case with six packs 21 each.
  • the drying turret 20, which is driven in cycles with small switching steps, is provided with a plurality of pockets 27, each for receiving a group of packs 21.
  • the pockets 27 are distributed in the sealing position or at short distances from one another over the entire drying turret 20, in an approximately radially directed relative position. The deviation from the exact relative position by a small, acute angle enables the circular drying turret 20 to be better used of space.
  • the pockets 27 are designed in a special way.
  • Pocket side walls 28 and 29, which extend in the axial direction of the drying turret 20 and in the longitudinal direction of the pockets 27, are sawtooth-shaped to form projections or shoulders 30.
  • the pocket side walls 28 and 29 formed in this way, or the shoulders 30 thereof, define 27 chambers 31 within a pocket for receiving one pack each.
  • the scale-like offset relative position of the chambers 31 of a pocket 27 results in a correspondingly offset arrangement of the packs 21 within such a pocket.
  • Revolver side walls 32 running in the circumferential direction are provided with approximately radially directed, sawtooth-shaped recesses which limit the pockets 27 with the contours described.
  • the size of the chambers 31 is matched to the dimensions of the packs 21, with their longitudinal extension being arranged axially parallel.
  • the chambers 31 are somewhat larger in the longitudinal direction of the pockets 27 than the corresponding dimensions of the packs 21. This means that the packs 21 are supported with their narrow side faces 33 on one another when the bag 27 is completely full, with a scale-like offset to one another in accordance with the design of the bag 27.
  • the paragraphs 30 of the chambers 31 are not touched by the packs 21 because they are supported exclusively on each other.
  • Interruptions can occur in the feed of the packs 21 to the drying turret 20. However, this should not change the switching cycle of the dry turret. This means that pockets 27 may be filled with a smaller number of packs 21. In this case, the outer or inner packings in the radial direction are supported on a shoulder 30 of the relevant chamber 31. A sealing sequence of packs 21 is thereby maintained despite the lower number per pocket. Radial displacements of the packs 21 in the pocket 27 are also excluded regardless of the number of packs.
  • the guide walls 34 extend outside the area of the loading station 26 and outside an emptying station 35.
  • the packs 21 in the outer chamber 31 of the pockets 27 are subjected to an elastic holding force which, if present, is transferred to neighboring packs 21 in the same pocket 27.
  • elastic tappets 36 are mounted in a pocket cover 37 along the circumference of the drying turret 20 in the region of the pockets 27.
  • the pressure plunger 36 are by a (helical) compression spring 38 in the direction against a side surface 33 of the pack 21 charged.
  • the pressure rams 36 are temporarily withdrawn from the shown pressing position, namely by an actuating member 39, which is effective in the area of the loading station 26 and in the area of the emptying station 35 .
  • a head 40 of the plunger 36 is gripped by a claw 41 of the actuator 39.
  • the plunger 36 is lifted from the pack 21 by radial movement of the latter.
  • the relative position of the actuating member 39 is such that the head 40 moves into the claw 41 by rotating the drying turret 20.
  • the loading station 26 is arranged in the upper region of the upright drying turret 20 in the direction of rotation at a distance from the central vertical plane.
  • the packs 21 are thereby inserted into the pockets 27 on an inclined conveying plane.
  • the transfer turret 23 successively feeds the packs 21 to a straight-line pack conveyor 42 running parallel to the pockets 27 and next to the drying turret 20.
  • This transports a group of (six) packs 21 - as far as conveyed - into an insertion position adjacent to a pocket 27 in the area of the loading station 26.
  • the packs 21 of this group are initially in a straight-line sealing position and are then moved into the scale-like position and then inserted together into the pocket 27 or the associated chambers 31 thereof.
  • the pack conveyor 42 consists of two lateral belt conveyors 43 in the entrance area, that is to say in the area of the upper turret 23. These run in the effective conveying area on both sides of a conveyor track for the packs 21, each adjacent to one another lying deflection rollers 44 and 45. These are designed and arranged in such a way that, in a certain position of the radially outer deflection roller 45, a conveyor run 46 running parallel to the packs 21 is formed. This detects a pack 21 on opposite end faces 27.
  • the outer deflection roller 45 is formed with two flattenings 48. These have the effect that, due to the abutment of the conveyor run 46, a funnel-shaped, converging position of the conveyor run 46 of the belt conveyor 43 is temporarily, namely due to the rotation of the deflection roller 45. During this phase, a subsequent package 21 is fed into the mouthpiece formed by the belt conveyor 43.
  • the conveyor pockets 25 of the upper transfer turret 23 are of an angular design, namely open on the radially outer side and front in the transport direction. This enables the packs 21 to be transferred to and carried along by the belt conveyors 43.
  • the conveyor bags 26 are currently moved into the area between the belt conveyors 23.
  • a further conveying member for the packs is arranged on the side opposite the transfer turret 23, namely a turret turret 49 equipped, which run synchronously with the conveyor bags 25, such that, in cooperation with these, the packs 21 are reliably transferred to the pack conveyor 42.
  • the entrainment members 50 are designed as pivotable forks, the prongs 51 of which enter slot-shaped recesses 52 in the upright rear wall 53 of the conveyor bag 25 and, due to the movement characteristics, the Move packing 21 out of the conveyor bag 25.
  • the conveyor pockets 25 of the transfer turret 23 and the driver elements 50 of the driver turret 49 are movably mounted and are controlled in the region of the transfer of the packages 21 to the package conveyor 42 in such a way that a translational movement in the conveying direction of the package conveyor 42 is present at the moment.
  • entrainment members 50 and - as shown - the conveyor pockets 25 are mounted on swivel arms 54, the swivel movements of which are effected via handlebars 55.
  • the latter run on a cam plate 57 with feeler rollers 56.
  • the design of the same is chosen so that in the area of the takeover and the transfer of packs 21, the described linear movement is achieved by correspondingly opposite pivoting movement of the pivoting arms 54.
  • the pack conveyor 42 is equipped with two support rails 58, 59 running parallel to the direction of the pockets 27. These are angular in cross-section with a support leg 60 and a lateral guide leg 61. The latter are arranged at a distance corresponding to the height of a pack 21, so that the packs - if supplied accordingly - are successively conveyed onto the support rails 58 and 59 in a sealing position . End stops 62 of the support rails 58 and 59 determine the exact end position of the packs.
  • a packing platform 63 is provided in the area of the loading station 26, which has a number of pivoting platforms 64 corresponding to the number of packing 21 of the group.
  • the packing stage 63 be can be found in the starting position (FIG. 3) below the support rails 58, 59, the swivel platforms 64 or platforms 65 of the same being aligned in one plane - parallel to the packs 21 on the support rails 58, 59.
  • the pack stage 63 In order to position the packs 21 adjacent to the pocket 27 to be loaded, the pack stage 63 is moved against the underside of the packs 21, specifically in the area between the support rails 58, 59 or the support legs 60 thereof. One platform 65 is moved against the underside (front or back) of the pack and lifts it off the support rails 58, 59. During the further movement of the packing stage 63 with the packs 21, the pivoting platforms 64 are adjusted relative to one another such that their platforms 65 are offset in a scale-like manner relative to one another and consequently the packs 21 move into a corresponding relative position to one another (FIG. 9). At the same time, the packing stage 63 is displaced in total in the radial direction and thereby reaches an end position from the initially displaced outward position, in which the individual packs 21 are aligned with the chambers 31 of the pocket 27.
  • the packing platform 63 in the present exemplary embodiment consists of a (upright) support plate 66 on which the individual pivoting platforms 64 are pivotably mounted via journal bearings 67.
  • a lower extension 68 of each swivel platform 64 is connected to a common coupling rod 70 via a swivel bearing 69.
  • the swivel platforms 64 thus act like two-armed levers.
  • the coupling rod 70 is supported on cam rollers 71 on (two) cam plates 72. These in turn are also mounted on the support plate 66 via main bearings 73.
  • the main bearing 73 or its journal is fixed with a crank arm 74 two mounted cranks 75 connected.
  • the unit of the packing platform 63 is first moved from the starting position according to FIG. 3 against the underside of the packing 21.
  • the pivoting platforms 64 are then tilted into the position according to FIG. 9.
  • the crank arms 74 are rotated further, the pivoting platforms 64 return to the aligned position and the packing platform 63 as a whole in the starting position.
  • the packs 21 brought in this way into the aligned position adjacent to the pocket 27 to be filled are placed on intermediate carriers.
  • this is, on the one hand, a support bar 76 on which one end region of the packs 21 rests and, on the other hand, the top of the correspondingly dimensioned guide leg 61 of the support rail 59 facing the drying turret 20.
  • Support bar 76 and guide leg 61 are shown in FIG aligned in one plane with respect to the support surfaces.
  • the support bar 76 and guide leg 61 of the support rail 58 are sawtooth-like on the upper side in accordance with the scale-like relative position of the packs 21 in order to ensure this relative position (FIG. 3).
  • an insert 77 which can be moved in the direction of insertion (parallel to the axis) and which simultaneously pushes the group of packs 21 into the pocket 27 becomes effective.
  • the slider 27 is also sawtooth-shaped, corresponding to the contour of the pocket 27.
  • a stop bar 78 is fixed in place on the top. This also has a sawtooth-shaped profile on the side facing the packs 21. The stop bar 78 causes the packs 21 to be aligned in the insertion position with the contour of the pocket 27.
  • support bar 76 and slide-in device 77 are connected to common support rods 81 via support arms 79, 80.
  • the support rods 81 are fixed outside the area of the drying turret 20.
  • the support arms 79, 80 are mounted separately and displaceably in the direction parallel to the axis above the respective slide bodies 82 assigned to the support arms 79 and 80, respectively. Accordingly, the support bar 76 and the insert 77 can be moved in the manner described above via the support arms 79, 80 or the associated sliding bodies 82.
  • the pockets 27 are dimensioned in the axial direction of the dry turret 20 such that the packs 21 protrude slightly from the pockets 27 on both sides.
  • the guide walls 34 arranged on both sides serve as stops for the exact alignment of the packs 21 in the pockets 27. These are arranged to be movable in the axial direction. While the drying turret 20 is at a standstill, the guide walls 34 are moved towards the end faces 47 of the packs for centering and shaping. During the rotation cycle, the guide walls 34 are lifted off the packs 21 (see dash-dotted position in FIGS. S-7).
  • the pressure plunger 36 is lifted, namely by an actuating arm 83 equipped with a claw 41.
  • the packs 21 now pass through a sufficiently long drying section in the pocket 27 to the emptying station 35 adjacent to the loading station 26.
  • An ejector 84 is effective in the area of an approximately horizontally oriented pocket 27, the slide plate of which has the contour of the pocket 27.
  • the pusher 84 is mounted on slide rods 86 so as to be movable in the axial direction via a slide carrier 85.
  • the ejected group of packs reaches a horizontal removal conveyor 87 (FIG. 1) which runs next to the drying turret 20.
