Description
La présente invention a essentiellement pour objet un procédé d'élimination automatique d'un groupe d'objets, tels que par exemple des récipients ou gobelets, dont au moins l'un est manquant ou défectueux dans ce groupe.The present invention essentially relates to a process for the automatic elimination of a group of objects, such as for example containers or cups, at least one of which is missing or defective in this group.
Elle vise également un appareil pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé ainsi qu'une machine de conditionnement de récipients équipée de cet appareil.It also relates to an apparatus for implementing this process as well as a container packaging machine equipped with this apparatus.
Il existe depuis longtemps des machines de conditionnement automatique de récipients ou gobelets comprenant un convoyeur à deux chaînes ou analogues sans fin entre lesquelles sont montés des supports aptes à recevoir des récipients à conditionner. Au-dessus du convoyeur sont agencés divers postes successifs permettant le conditionnement des récipients et tels que par exemple un poste de dépilage et de dépose des récipients sur le convoyeur, un poste de remplissage des récipients et un poste de fermeture des récipients par thermoscellage d'un opercule par exemple.There have long been machines for automatic packaging of containers or cups comprising a conveyor with two endless chains or the like between which are mounted supports suitable for receiving containers to be packaged. Above the conveyor are arranged various successive stations allowing the packaging of the containers and such as for example a station for unstacking and depositing the containers on the conveyor, a station for filling the containers and a station for closing the containers by heat sealing a cover for example.
Toutefois, il se pose souvent des problèmes au niveau du dépilage et de la dépose des récipients ou gobelets sur le convoyeur. En effet, il arrive quelquefois que l'opération de dépilage ne s'effectue pas convenablement, de sorte que le convoyeur reçoit deux ou plusieurs gobelets empilés et coincés l'un dans l'autre. Egalement, il arrive que, dans la ligne de gobelets déposés sur le convoyeur, l'un de ces gobelets manque ou bien est défectueux.However, there are often problems with unstacking and depositing containers or cups on the conveyor. Indeed, it sometimes happens that the unstacking operation is not carried out properly, so that the conveyor receives two or more cups stacked and wedged one inside the other. Also, it happens that, in the line of cups deposited on the conveyor, one of these cups is missing or is defective.
Si donc un tel incident se produit, on comprend que les opérations que doivent subir les récipients par la suite perturbent le fonctionnement de la machine et l'opération de conditionnement. En effet, si un gobelet est manquant, on comprend que le remplissage s'effectuera directement sur le convoyeur, ce qui risque de le détériorer, sans parler des salissures qui en résulteront. On aboutira au même genre d'inconvénient si le gobelet est percé, déformé ou défectueux. Par ailleurs, si plusieurs gobelets sont coincés les uns dans les autres, il se produira des accrochages et des ruptures des gobelets au niveau du poste de fermeture, c'est-à-dire lorsque le gobelet sera appliqué contre une tête de thermoscellage.If therefore such an incident occurs, it is understood that the operations which the containers must undergo subsequently disturb the operation of the machine and the packaging operation. Indeed, if a cup is missing, it is understood that the filling will be carried out directly on the conveyor, which risks damaging it, not to mention the dirt that will result. The same kind of inconvenience will result if the cup is pierced, deformed or defective. Furthermore, if several cups are stuck in each other, there will be snagging and rupturing of the cups at the closure station, that is to say when the cup is applied against a heat sealing head.
Il convient par conséquent, lorsqu'il y a un défaut sur une ligne ou un groupe de gobelets déposés sur le convoyeur avant remplissage, d'éliminer ce groupe ou cette ligne de gobelets en totalité pour éviter de perturber le fonctionnement de la machine. Or, jusqu'à présent, aucun système n'a été proposé dans ce but.It is therefore advisable, when there is a fault on a line or group of cups deposited on the conveyor before filling, to eliminate this group or this line of cups entirely to avoid disturbing the operation of the machine. So far, no system has been proposed for this purpose.
Aussi, la présente invention se propose de combler cette lacune en proposant un procédé et un appareil d'élimination automatique d'un groupe de récipients, cet appareil étant d'une conception mécanique simple et fiable sur le plan du fonctionnement.Also, the present invention proposes to fill this gap by proposing a method and an apparatus for automatic elimination of a group of containers, this apparatus being of a simple and reliable mechanical design in terms of operation.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour object un procédé d'élimination automatique d'un groupe d'objets, tels que par exemple des récipients ou gobelets dont au moins l'un est manquant ou défectueux dans ce groupe, lequel groupe fait partie de plusieurs groupes d'objets ou récipients transportés à la suite les uns des autres par un convoyeur ou analogue pour subir diverses opérations, caractérisé en ce qu'après avoir détecté le défaut ou le manque d'au moins un objet ou récipient dans un groupe d'objets transportés par le convoyeur, on pousse tout le groupe d'objets au travers de ce convoyeur, et on le stocke dans un magasin au-dessus du convoyeur pour éventuellement recycler par la suite les objets non défectueux du groupe considéré.To this end, the object of the invention is a method of automatically eliminating a group of objects, such as for example containers or cups of which at least one is missing or defective in this group, which group is part of several groups of objects or containers transported one after the other by a conveyor or the like to undergo various operations, characterized in that after having detected the defect or lack of at least one object or container in a group of objects transported by the conveyor, the whole group of objects is pushed through this conveyor, and it is stored in a store above the conveyor to eventually recycle the non-defective objects of the group in question.
Cette invention vise également un appareil pour la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé, caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend au moins un moyen de détection, tel que par exemple une cellule, situé au-dessus des objets ou récipients à transporter par un convoyeur ou analogue, un magasin de stockage de récipients situé à côté du moyen de détection et des poussoirs situés au droit de ce magasin en-dessous des objets ou récipients transportés par le convoyeur.This invention also relates to an apparatus for implementing this method, characterized in that it comprises at least one detection means, such as for example a cell, located above the objects or containers to be transported by a conveyor or similar, a container storage store located next to the detection means and pushers located to the right of this store below the objects or containers transported by the conveyor.
Cet appareil est encore caractérisé en ce que les poussoirs précités sont constitués par la tige de vérins actionnables par le moyen de détection et dont le corps est relié à l'arbre de sortie d'un groupe moto-réducteur par l'intermédiaire d'un système bielle-manivelle.This device is further characterized in that the aforementioned pushers consist of the rod of actuators actuable by the detection means and the body of which is connected to the output shaft of a geared motor group by means of a connecting rod-crank system.
On précisera encore que l'arbre de sortie du groupe moto-réducteur est aussi relié, par un autre système bielle-manivelle, à des poussoirs susceptibles de traverser le brin supérieur du convoyeur pour réaliser la dépose des objets ou récipients sur celui-ci.It will also be specified that the output shaft of the geared motor group is also connected, by another connecting rod-crank system, to pushers capable of passing through the upper strand of the conveyor in order to deposit the objects or containers thereon.
L'invention vise encore un machine de conditionnement comprenant au moins un convoyeur à chaînes ou analogues sans fin permettant le transport de récipients, tels que par exemple des gobelets défilant sous une succession de postes par exemple de dépilage, de remplissage et d'obturation des récipients, caractérisée en ce qu'elle comprend un appareil répondant aux caractéristiques ci-dessus et situé après le poste de dépilage.The invention also relates to a packaging machine comprising at least one endless chain conveyor or the like allowing the transport of containers, such as for example goblets scrolling under a succession of positions, for example unstacking, filling and for closing containers, characterized in that it comprises an apparatus meeting the above characteristics and located after the unstacking station.
Mais d'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront mieux dans la description détaillée qui suit et se réfère à la figure unique annexée donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple, et montrant schématiquement et en élévation un appareil conforme à l'invention et associé à un convoyeur de transport de gobelets à conditionner.But other characteristics and advantages of the invention will appear better in the detailed description which follows and refers to the single appended figure given solely by way of example, and showing schematically and in elevation an apparatus in accordance with the invention and associated to a cup conveyor to be packaged.
Suivant un exemple de réalisation, et en se reportant à la figure unique annexée, un appareil conforme à l'invention est situé sous le brin supérieur 2 d'un convoyeur C à chaînes ou analogues passant autour de roues dentées 1 et entre lequelles sont fixées des plaques ou analogues comportant des orifices susceptibles de recevoir des lignes de récipients ou gobelets R destinés à être conditionnés.According to an exemplary embodiment, and with reference to the attached single figure, an apparatus according to the invention is located under the upper strand 2 of a conveyor C with chains or the like passing around
Au-dessus du brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur C sont prévus des postes successifs et tels que par exemple un poste de dépilage 3 et d'autres postes qui n'ont pas été représentés, car ils ne font pas partie de la présente invention.Above the upper strand 2 of the conveyor C are provided successive stations and such as for example a unstacking station 3 and other stations which have not been shown, because they are not part of the present invention.
L'appareil selon cette invention comprend, en aval du poste de dépilage 3, un moyen de détection, tel qu'une cellule 4, située au-dessus du brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur C, et un groupe moto-réducteur 5 situé en-dessous du brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur C.The apparatus according to this invention comprises, downstream of the unstacking station 3, a detection means, such as a cell 4, located above the upper strand 2 of the conveyor C, and a geared motor group 5 located in- below upper strand 2 of conveyor C.
L'arbre de sortie 6 du groupe moto-réducteur 5 est relié par un système bielle-manivelle 7 au corps 8 d'un vérin dont la tige 9 comporte à son extrémité un poussoir 10.The output shaft 6 of the geared motor group 5 is connected by a connecting rod-crank system 7 to the body 8 of a jack whose rod 9 has at its end a
L'arbre de sortie du groupe moto-réducteur 5 est également relié par un autre système bielle-manivelle 7a à des poussoirs constitués par une simple tige 12 dont l'extrémité est pourvue d'un poussoir 11.The output shaft of the geared motor group 5 is also connected by another rod-crank system 7a to pushers constituted by a simple rod 12 whose end is provided with a pushbutton 11.
Comme on le voit bien sur la figure, les poussoirs 10 et 11 sont situés de part et d'autre du groupe moto-réducteur 5.As can be clearly seen in the figure, the
Plus précisément, la tige 12 et son poussoir associé 11 sont situés au droit du poste de dépilage 3, tandis que la tige 9 du vérin 8 et son poussoir associé 10 sont situés sous le brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur C, au droit d'un magasin de stockage 13 agencé au-dessus du brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur C et à la suite du poste de dépilage 3.More specifically, the rod 12 and its associated pusher 11 are located to the right of the unstacking station 3, while the rod 9 of the actuator 8 and its associated
L'appareil qui vient d'être décrit fonctionne de la manière suivante.The apparatus which has just been described operates in the following manner.
Une ligne de récipients ou gobelets R est dépilée du poste 3 et cueillie par les poussoirs 11 qui la déposent sur les supports transversaux solidaires des chaînes du convoyeur C.A line of containers or cups R is unstacked from station 3 and picked up by pushers 11 which deposit it on the transverse supports integral with the chains of the conveyor C.
Cela étant fait, la ligne de gobelets R, transportée par le convoyeur C passe devant la cellule 4. Si aucun défaut ou manque n'est détecté par la cellule dans cette ligne de récipients, ladite ligne est alors acheminée vers le poste suivant qui n'est pas représenté, mais qui peut être par exemple un poste de remplissage des récipients.This being done, the line of cups R, transported by the conveyor C passes in front of the cell 4. If no defect or lack is detected by the cell in this line of containers, said line is then routed to the next station which n 'is not shown, but which can be for example a container filling station.
Si par contre un défaut ou un manque est détecté par la cellule 4, cette dernière commandera la sortie de la tige 9 du vérin 8, de sorte que les poussoirs 10 pousseront par le dessous toute la ligne de récipients R pour l'acheminer, au travers du brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur C, dans le magasin de stockage 13. Ce stockage pourra être réalisé de toute manière appropriée, par exemple par encliquetage des récipients dans le magasin 13. Les gobelets ainsi stockés peuvent être commodément récupérés et recyclés en ce qui concerne évidemment ceux qui ne sont pas défectueux.If on the other hand a fault or a lack is detected by the cell 4, the latter will control the exit of the rod 9 of the jack 8, so that the
Bien entendu, après élimination d'une ligne de gobelets R comme expliqué précédemment, la plaque du convoyeur devant les supporter passera devant les postes suivants de remplissage et de thermoscellage, lesquels postes, commandés par un automate, ne seront évidemment pas activés.Of course, after elimination of a line of cups R as explained above, the conveyor plate in front of the supports will pass in front of the following filling and heat-sealing stations, which stations, controlled by an automatic machine, will obviously not be activated.
Revenant à la figure unique annexée, on constate que la tige 12 a une longueur fixe, alors que le vérin 8 et sa tige associée 9 constituent en quelque sorte un poussoir extensible. En d'autres termes, si aucun défaut ou manque n'est détecté par la cellule 4, le vérin 8 oscillera en raison de la présence du système bielle-manivelle 7, mais la tige 9 étant rétractée, il n'y aura aucune action sur les gobelets R, tandis qu'à chaque rotation de l'arbre 6, la tige 12 et son poussoir associé 11 se présenteront sous une ligne de récipients R au poste 3 pour déposer cette ligne de récipients sur le brin supérieur 2 du convoyeur.Returning to the single appended figure, it can be seen that the rod 12 has a fixed length, while the actuator 8 and its associated rod 9 constitute, in a way, an extendable push button. In other words, if no defect or lack is detected by the cell 4, the jack 8 will oscillate due to the presence of the rod-crank system 7, but the rod 9 being retracted, there will be no action on the cups R, while at each rotation of the shaft 6, the rod 12 and its associated pusher 11 will appear under a line of containers R at station 3 to deposit this line of containers on the upper strand 2 of the conveyor.
Par contre, si un défaut ou un manque est détecté dans la ligne de gobelets R après dépôt sur le convoyeur, la tige 9 sortira du corps de vérin 8 de façon à pousser la ligne de récipients R dans le magasin 13 sous l'effet de la rotation de l'arbre de sortie 6 du groupe moto-réducteur 5.On the other hand, if a defect or lack is detected in the line of cups R after depositing on the conveyor, the rod 9 will come out of the cylinder body 8 so as to push the line of containers R in the
Bien entendu, on pourrait parfaitement, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention, prévoir un système autre que celui représenté pour pousser les récipients R dans le magasin de stockage 13.Of course, it is perfectly possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, to provide a system other than that shown for pushing the containers R into the
C'est dire que l'invention n'est nullement limitée au mode de réalisation décrit et illustré qui n'a été donné qu'à titre d'exemple.This means that the invention is in no way limited to the embodiment described and illustrated, which has been given only by way of example.
Au contraire, l'invention comprend tous les équivalents techniques des moyens décrits et leurs combinaisons si-celles ci sont effectuées suivant son esprit.On the contrary, the invention includes all the technical equivalents of the means described and their combinations if these are carried out according to its spirit.
