A displacement means is provided which moves the two separate feeding and conveying devices for the packaging envelope and the objects to the respectively necessary distance from one another. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum Anbringen einer hülsenförmigen Umverpackung an becherförmige Gegenstände, mit einer Zufuhreinrichtung für die becherförmigen Gegenstände und einer darüber angeordneten, auf dem gleichen Gestell gelagerten Zufuhr- und Anbringeinrichtung für die Umverpackung, sowie mit Einrichtungen zum Verstellen des Abstandes zwischen beiden Einrichtungen.The invention relates to a device for attaching a sleeve-shaped outer packaging to cup-shaped objects, with a feed device for the cup-shaped objects and a supply and attachment device for the outer packaging arranged on the same frame, and with devices for adjusting the distance between the two Facilities.

Aus der US-A-3,083,510 ist eine derartige Vorrichtung bekannt, bei der sich der Abstand zum Ausgleich unterschiedlicher Höhen der einzelnen Behälter verstellen läßt.Such a device is known from US-A-3,083,510, in which the distance can be adjusted to compensate for different heights of the individual containers.

Darüber hinaus ist es aus der US-A-4,108,221 bekannt, bei einer Fülleinrichtung für Behälter eine Verstellvorrichtung zur Anpassung an unterschiedliche Behältergrößen vorzusehen.Furthermore, it is known from US-A-4,108,221 to provide an adjusting device for adapting to different container sizes in a filling device for containers.

Demgegenüber liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die wahlweise in einer oder zwei übereinander liegenden Ebenen angeordnete becherförmige Gegenstände mit einer Umverpackung versehen kann.In contrast, the present invention has for its object to provide a device which can optionally provide cup-shaped objects arranged in one or two superimposed levels with an outer packaging.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of the claim.

Durch diese zentrale Verstelleinrichtung ist eine äußerst schnelle Umstellung der Vorrichtung auf eine oder zwei Ebenen von zu verpackenden Gegenständen möglich.This central adjustment device enables an extremely rapid changeover of the device to one or two levels of objects to be packaged.

Sehr vorteilhaft ist es dabei, daß gemäß der Erfindung die Gewindespindeln mit Kegelzahnrädern ausgerüstet sind, an denen Kegelzahnräder einer gemeinsamen Verstellwelle angreifen.It is very advantageous that, according to the invention, the threaded spindles are equipped with bevel gears on which bevel gears engage a common adjusting shaft.

Eine so ausgestaltete Verstellvorrichtung ist auch im rauhen Betrieb sehr unempfindlich gegen Verschmutzung und arbeitet praktisch wartungsfrei äußerst zuverlässig.An adjustment device designed in this way is very insensitive to dirt even in rough operation and works extremely reliably practically maintenance-free.

In der Zeichnung ist die Erfindung anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen veranschaulicht. Ergänzend wird noch auf einen zentralen Verstellantrieb mit Zahnkranz und Verstellkette eingegangen, der dieselbe Funktion hat wie der Verstellantrieb mittels Kegelzahnrädern. Dabei zeigen:

Mit 1 ist in den Fig. 1 und 2 eine Vorrichtung bezeichnet, die zum Anbringen einer hülsenförmigen Umverpackung 2 bzw. 3 um becherförmige Gegenstände 4 bzw. 5 dient.
Der Vorrichtung 1 ist ein Vorratsstapel 6 mit Kartonzuschnitten 7 bzw. 8 vorgeschaltet, aus dem die Kartonzuschnitte von einem Absauger 9 abgenommen und auf einer Transporteinrichtung 10 abgelegt werden. Diese Transporteinrichtung 10 arbeitet mit einer Transportkette 11 zusammen, an der Mitnehmer 12 befestigt sind, die den Kartonzuschnitt durch die Vorrichtung transportieren.
Unterhalb dieser Transporteinrichtung 10 für die Kartonzuschnitte ist eine weitere Transporteinrichtung 13 für die becherförmigen Gegenstände angeordnet, die ebenfalls mit einer Transportkette 14 und mit Mitnehmern 15 ausgestattet ist. Darüber hinaus sind Leisten 16 vorgesehen, welche die Kartonzuschnitte 2 bzw. 3 um die becherförmigen Gegenstände 4 bzw. 5 herumfalten.1 and 2 in FIGS. 1 and 2 designate a device which is used to attach a sleeve-shaped outer packaging 2 or 3 around cup-shaped objects 4 or 5.
The device 1 is preceded by a supply stack 6 with cardboard blanks 7 or 8, from which the cardboard blanks are removed by a suction device 9 and placed on a transport device 10. This transport device 10 works together with a transport chain 11, on which carriers 12 are fastened, which transport the cardboard blank through the device.
A further transport device 13 for the cup-shaped objects is arranged below this transport device 10 for the cardboard blanks, which is also equipped with a transport chain 14 and with drivers 15. In addition, strips 16 are provided, which fold the cardboard blanks 2 and 3 around the cup-shaped objects 4 and 5, respectively.

Die Transportkette 11 für die Kartonzuschnitte und die Leisten 16 sind an einem gemeinsamen Rahmen 17 befestigt, an dem mehrere Gewindespindeln 18 über Lager 19 angreifen.The transport chain 11 for the cardboard blanks and the strips 16 are fastened to a common frame 17 on which a plurality of threaded spindles 18 engage via bearings 19.

Wie in Fig. 3 verdeutlicht ist, stützen sich die Gewindespindeln 18 mit einer Fußplatte 20 an einem Traggestell 21 ab. Der Rahmen 17 setzt sich aus mehreren Teilen zusammen, zwischen denen die Lager 19 drehbar angeordnet sind. Diese Lager 19 sind mit einer Innenbohrung versehen, die ein der Gewindespindel entsprechendes Gewinde aufweisen. An seiner Außenseite ist jedes Lager 19 mit einem Zahnkranz 22 ausgestattet, wobei über die Zahnkränze aller Lager 19 eine gemeinsame Kette 23 läuft. An dieser Kette 23 greift darüber hinaus über einen weiteren Zahnkranz 24 ein gemeinsamer Antriebsmotor 25 an.As is illustrated in FIG. 3, the threaded spindles 18 are supported on a support frame 21 with a base plate 20. The frame 17 is composed of several parts, between which the bearings 19 are rotatably arranged. These bearings 19 are provided with an inner bore which have a thread corresponding to the threaded spindle. On the outside, each bearing 19 is equipped with a sprocket 22, a common chain 23 running over the sprockets of all bearings 19. A common drive motor 25 also acts on this chain 23 via a further sprocket 24.

In Fig. 4 ist ein Lager 19 in größerem Maßstab dargestellt, das auf dem Außengewinde der Gewindespindel 18 sitzt, die wiederum in der Fußplatte 20 befestigt ist.In Fig. 4, a bearing 19 is shown on a larger scale, which sits on the external thread of the threaded spindle 18, which in turn is fixed in the base plate 20.

Bei dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist ein Lager 119 fest mit einer Gewindespindel 118 verbunden. Diese Gewindespindel 118 stützt sich ihrerseits an einer Fußplatte 120 ab, die mit einer Gewindebohrung versehen ist, in welche die Gewindespindel eingreift.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a bearing 119 is firmly connected to a threaded spindle 118. This threaded spindle 118 is in turn supported on a base plate 120 which is provided with a threaded bore into which the threaded spindle engages.

Fig. 6 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Transportvorrichtung in der Einstellung für eine zweistöckige Packung.Fig. 6 shows a cross section through the transport device in the setting for a two-story package.

Bei dem in Fig. 7 dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sind Gewindespindeln 218 einseitig in einem Lager 219 gelagert. Die Gewindespindeln sind über Kegelzahnräder 26,27 mit einer Verstellwelle 28 verbunden, die ihrerseits mit dem gemeinsamen Antriebsmotor 25 verbunden ist.In the embodiment shown in FIG. 7, threaded spindles 218 are supported on one side in a bearing 219. The threaded spindles are connected via bevel gears 26, 27 to an adjusting shaft 28, which in turn is connected to the common drive motor 25.
