Description

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung betrifft ein Verpackungsverfahren für Stückgutteile, insbesondere Kleinteile unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Abmessungen gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The subject matter of the invention relates to a packaging method for general cargo parts, in particular small parts of different or identical dimensions according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Beim Verpacken von Stückgutteilen für den Transport oder die Lagerung ist es ein Erfordernis, das Verpackungsgut in der Verpackung gegen Verrutschen und/oder Aneinanderstoßen zu sichern.When packing piece goods for transport or storage, it is a requirement to secure the goods in the packaging against slipping and / or colliding.

Für Stückgutteile unterschiedlicher oder gleicher Abmessungen lassen sich bekannte Pappkartons oder Faltschachteln verwenden, in denen formschlüssige Polster- bzw. Ausgleichselemente, Verpackungseinlagen, Verpackungsfolien (DE-U-19 12 467, DE-U-17 70 573, DE-U-19 94 988) oder Füllstoffe zum Schutz des Verpackungsgutes eingesetzt werden.For general cargo parts of different or identical dimensions, known cardboard boxes or folding boxes can be used, in which form-fitting cushioning or compensating elements, packaging inserts, packaging films (DE-U-19 12 467, DE-U-17 70 573, DE-U-19 94 988 ) or fillers are used to protect the packaged goods.

Die in diesen Verpackungen eingesetzten Polster- bzw. Ausgleichselemente erfordern in der Regel einen hohen Arbeitsaufwand beim Verpacken und beanspruchen einen Großteil der Lagerkapazität.The cushioning or compensating elements used in this packaging usually require a lot of work during packaging and take up a large part of the storage capacity.

Formschlüssige Verpackungshilfsmittel sind dazu in der Regel noch teurer, da sie nur für die der Form entsprechenden Verpackungsgüter bestimmt sind. Aus der WO 85/00151 ist eine Verpackung mit einem Luftpolster als Ausgleichselement bekannt, wobei das Luftpolster mittels eines Rückschlagventils verschlossen werden kann, welches in der Wand des Verpackungsbehälters angeordnet ist und mit dem Luftposter und der Verpackungswandung verbunden ist.Form-fitting packaging aids are usually even more expensive because they are only intended for the packaging goods that correspond to the shape. A packaging with an air cushion as a compensating element is known from WO 85/00151, the air cushion being able to be closed by means of a check valve which is arranged in the wall of the packaging container and is connected to the air poster and the packaging wall.

Der Einsatz einer solchen Ventileinrichtung erfordert jedoch einen höheren fertigungstechnischen Aufwand.However, the use of such a valve device requires a higher manufacturing outlay.

Aus der US-A-35 14 157 ist ein Verpackungsverfahren bekannt, bei dem die zu verpackenden Güter in einem Transportbehälter eingelagert werden. Der restliche Innenraum des Transportbehälters wird von einem zusammenfaltbaren und flexiblen Beutel aus Plastik, Gummi oder aus luftdichtem Gewebe ausgefüllt. Dieser Beutel besitzt ein Ventil, das durch eine in der Wand des Transportbehälters vorhandene Öffnung nach außen geführt ist. Über dieses Ventil wird der Beutel mit Luft aufgeblasen, so daß die verpackten Güter stoßsicher in den Transportbehältern transportiert werden können. Nachteilig bei diesem Verfahren ist jedoch, daß das Verpacken relativ umständlich und zeitaufwendig ist.A packaging method is known from US-A-35 14 157, in which the goods to be packed are stored in a transport container. The rest of the interior of the transport container is a foldable and flexible Plastic, rubber or airtight fabric bags. This bag has a valve which is guided outwards through an opening in the wall of the transport container. The bag is inflated with air via this valve so that the packaged goods can be transported in a shockproof manner in the transport containers. A disadvantage of this method, however, is that the packaging is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verpackungsverfahren vorzuschlagen, bei dem mit einfachen und preiswerten Mitteln der Schutz des Verpackungsgutes während des Transportes und der Lagerung einfach und schnell gewährleistet ist.The invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a packaging method in which the protection of the packaged goods during transport and storage is ensured simply and quickly using simple and inexpensive means.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird durch die in Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmale erzielt.This object is achieved by the features specified in claim 1.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß das Verpackungsverfahren vereinfacht wird und daß die Verfahrensabschnitte einfach und schnell manuell oder automatisch durchgeführt werden können.The process according to the invention achieves the advantage that the packaging process is simplified and that the process sections can be carried out easily and quickly manually or automatically.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt und wird nachstehend näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Figur 1
einen Verpackungsbehälter mit eingelegten Stückgutteilen von der Seite gesehen im Schnitt mit einer schematisch angedeuteten Luft- bzw. Gaszufuhreinrichtung,
Figur 2
einen Verpackungsbehälter nach Figur 1 nach Beendigung des Füllvorgangs,
Figur 3
einen Verpackungsbehälter nach Figur 1 mit Einlaßkanal.
An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing and is explained in more detail below. Show it:
Figure 1
a packaging container with inserted piece goods seen from the side in section with a schematically indicated air or gas supply device,
Figure 2
a packaging container according to Figure 1 after completion of the filling process,
Figure 3
a packaging container according to Figure 1 with inlet channel.

In der Figur 1 ist der Verpackungsbehälter mit (1) bezeichnet.In Figure 1, the packaging container is designated (1).

Die Stückgutteile (2) werden in den vorzugsweise als Pappkarton oder Faltschachtel ausgebildeten Verpackungsbehälter (1) gelegt, und der Verpackungsbehälter (1) wird verschlossen.The piece goods parts (2) are placed in the packaging container (1), which is preferably designed as a cardboard box or folding box, and the packaging container (1) is closed.

Anschließend wird das vorzugsweise als Kunststoffbeutel (3) ausgebildete Polster- bzw. Ausgleichselement im nicht mit Luft oder Gas gefüllten Zustand mit Hilfe einer Vorrichtung durch eine im Verpackungsbehälter (1) angeordnete Öffnung (5) geführt und mit Gas oder Luft gefüllt.The cushion or compensating element, which is preferably designed as a plastic bag (3), is then passed through an opening (5) arranged in the packaging container (1) in the state not filled with air or gas and filled with gas or air.

Nach diesem Füllvorgang wird der Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) des Polster- bzw. Ausgleichselementes von der Luft- bzw. Gaszufuhreinrichtung (7) abgetrennt und verschlossen.After this filling process, the air or gas inlet channel (4) of the cushioning or compensating element is separated from the air or gas supply device (7) and closed.

Die Vorrichtung zum Einführen des Polster- bzw. Ausgleichselements in die Verpackung kann eine Düse (6) aufweisen. Außerdem ist die Vorrichtung mit der Luft- bzw. Gaszufuhreinrichtung (7) verbunden. Die Düse (6) kann mit dem Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) gemäß Figur 1 verbunden werden. Nach dem Füllvorgang bzw. nach Erreichen des erforderlichen Druckes wird der Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) z. B. durch ein Folienschweiß- und Trennverfahren geschlossen.The device for inserting the cushioning or compensating element into the packaging can have a nozzle (6). In addition, the device is connected to the air or gas supply device (7). The nozzle (6) can be connected to the air or gas inlet channel (4) according to FIG. 1. After the filling process or after reaching the required pressure, the air or gas inlet channel (4) z. B. closed by a film sealing and separation process.

Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausbildung des Kunststoffbeutels (3) sieht vor, den Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) schlauchförmig auszubilden und ihn mit dem Kunststoffbeutel (3) so zu verschweißen, daß lediglich eine kleine Durchtrittsöffnung für die Luftzufuhr vorhanden ist. Der Kunststoffbeutel (3) und der Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) sind aus Folienschläuchen gefertigt. Die Folienschläuche können aus unterschiedlichem oder gleichartigem Material oder unterschiedlichen oder gleichen Materialstärken hergestellt sein. Für den Kuststoffbeutel (3) wird ein entsprechend langes Stück Folienschlauch an einem Ende zugeschweißt. In die Öffnung des so entstandenen Beutels wird der Schlauch für den Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) eingelegt. Die beiden Schläuche werden miteinander verschweißt, so daß nur im Einlaßkanal (9) eine kleine Durchtrittsöffnung für die Luftzufuhr vorhanden bleibt. Die Schweißnaht schließt den Kunststoffbeutel (3) und verbindet ihn gleichzeitig im Bereich des Einlaßkanals (9) mit dem Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4).A particularly advantageous embodiment of the plastic bag (3) provides for the air or gas inlet channel (4) to be tubular and to be welded to the plastic bag (3) in such a way that there is only a small passage opening for the air supply. The plastic bag (3) and the air or gas inlet channel (4) are made of film tubes. The film tubes can be made of different or the same material or different or the same material thickness. For the plastic bag (3), a correspondingly long piece of film tube is welded at one end. The hose for the air or gas inlet channel (4) is inserted into the opening of the bag thus created. The two hoses are welded together so that only a small passage opening for the air supply remains in the inlet duct (9). The weld seam closes the plastic bag (3) and connects it at the same time in the area of the inlet duct (9) with the air or gas inlet duct (4).

Wie in Figur 3 gezeigt, reicht ein Ende des Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanals (4) in das Innere des Kunststoffbeutels (3) und wirkt als selbsttätig schließendes Lippenventil. Um den Kunststoffbeutel (3) mit Luft oder dergl. zu füllen, wird die Düse einer Luftzufuhreinrichtung in den Einlaßkanal (9) geführt und der Kunststoffbeutel gefüllt. Anschließend wird die Düse aus dem Einlaßkanal (9) herausgezogen. Durch den im Kunststoffbeutel (3) herrschenden Druck wird die im Kunststoffbeutel (3) liegende Öffnung (10) des Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanals in der Art eines Lippenventils verschlossen. Ein besonderer Vorteil ist, daß der Kanal (4) auch bei minimalem Überdruck im Kunststoffbeutel (3) sicher verschlossen bleibt und ein Zurückströmen der Luft oder dgl. verhindert. Nach dem Füllvorgang besteht die Möglichkeit, den Luft- bzw. Gaseinlaßkanal (4) in den Verpackungsbehälter (1) zurückzuführen, ihn abzutrennen oder ihn an der Verpackungsbehälteraußenwand zu verkleben.As shown in Figure 3, one end of the air or gas inlet channel (4) extends into the interior of the plastic bag (3) and acts as an automatically closing lip valve. In order to fill the plastic bag (3) with air or the like, the nozzle of an air supply device is guided into the inlet channel (9) and the plastic bag is filled. The nozzle is then pulled out of the inlet channel (9). By the pressure prevailing in the plastic bag (3) is closed off in the manner of a lip valve by the opening (10) of the air or gas inlet channel located in the plastic bag (3). A particular advantage is that the channel (4) remains securely closed even with minimal excess pressure in the plastic bag (3) and prevents the air or the like from flowing back. After the filling process, it is possible to return the air or gas inlet duct (4) into the packaging container (1), to separate it or to glue it to the outer wall of the packaging container.
