Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for forming, filling and closing packaging made of cardboard.
  • Such devices are known. They have a number of processing stations corresponding to the number of processing steps. A format change is problematic with such known machines. Considerable changeover times are required when changing the formats. Based on this prior art, the invention has for its object to design a device of the type presupposed as known so that a format changeover can be accomplished comparatively easily and at short notice.
  • cassettes are provided for different formats for the transport of the packaging to the successive processing stations.
  • cassettes which can either be replaced as a whole or can be converted to the different formats, enables a quick changeover.
  • the drive mechanisms for the transport of different packaging g Rössen to the different processing stations remain completely unchanged. It is sufficient to adapt the cassette to the different packaging sizes.
  • Flat packages 2 are arranged in a magazine 1, which can either have pre-folds or are formed without any fold lines. These flat packages are placed in the forming station 3 in a pre-opened state. After the complete expansion and opening, the packs reach the filling station 4, from there to the compression station 5, and finally to the refilling station 6.
  • the spread packages get their rectangular shape from the spreading device, the function of which will be described later in connection with FIGS. 2 to 5.
  • the packaging lies with its broad sides on the vertical plates 18 and 19 and with the bottom they lie on the base plate 17.
  • the side flaps 16 also lie on the base plate 17 and are held there by the hold-down devices 24.
  • the rear longitudinal path has the processing stations 3, 4, 5 and 6.
  • the night Filling station 6 After leaving the night Filling station 6 the now completely filled packaging reaches a free position, namely the end position of the rear longitudinal web. From there, the filled packaging is shifted transversely to the front longitudinal path, namely until the narrow end face lies against the slide strips 14.
  • Cassettes are then moved together with the packaging according to FIG. 1 to the left on the front longitudinal path.
  • the packs first pass through the sealing station 7, the folding station 8, the transfer station and gluing station 9 and the preparation station 10. From the preparation station 10, the finished packages 12 reach the ejection station 11. In the ejection station 11, the finished, sealed packages 12 are placed between the plates 18 and 19 pushed sideways laterally and then they reach the removal position.
  • the inner slide strips 15 are drawn only in the rear longitudinal path, but they are also provided in the same way in the front longitudinal path, but not shown there.
  • the adjacent sliding strips 15 each end in front of the cross-shift stations so that the packaging can be moved transversely to the opposite longitudinal path.
  • the number of processing stations is variable.
  • the arrangement in two longitudinal tracks running parallel to one another has proven particularly expedient, which each have transverse displacement devices at their ends and thus allow the transition from one longitudinal path to the adjacent longitudinal path in cycles.
  • the packaging moves in opposite directions in the longitudinal tracks.
  • the drive is preferably carried out with the aid of a slide system arranged in a rectangle, which is not shown and whose drive elements preferably have piston-cylinder units.
  • the flat supplied, closed on the bottom packaging 2 is formed in the molding station 3 by the immersed mold sheets 20 and 21, which are spread apart, to form a rectangular packaging.
  • the large side walls are pressed against the vertical plates 18 and 19.
  • the triangular floor corners 16 thereby formed are pressed flat with the aid of the hold-down devices 24 and serve as an additional holder during the feed.
  • the spreading device shown in the drawing figures 2 to 5 is constructed as follows:
  • the spreading device has the mutually parallel and vertically arranged shaped plates 20 and 21 with angled edge regions 22 and 23.
  • the shaped plates 21 and 22 are articulated via pivot axes 38 and 39 and 40 and 41 and associated articulated levers 33 and 35 as well as 32 and 34 via articulated axes 37 and 36 connected to a slide rod 26.
  • a slide 29 sits on the slide rod 26.
  • Articulated levers 30 and 31 are articulated on the axis 42 of the slider 29 and end at the pivot axes 40 and 38.
  • a piston-cylinder unit 27 has a piston rod 43 which is connected to the slider 29.
  • the slide 29 can slide downward when the piston rod 43 is extended.
  • the shaped sheets 20 and 21 are moved in the vertical position and parallel to one another until the large side walls of the packaging 2 are pressed against the vertical plates 18 and 19.
  • the floor corners 16 formed are fixed on the floor plate 17 with the aid of the hold-down device 24 which can be pivoted about the axis 25.
  • the hold-down device 17 is pivoted by actuating the hold-down device in the direction of the double arrow 28.
