Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruches. - Die Erfindung mag für die Verpackung von insbesondere langgestreckten Gegenständen, wie Baguettes oder Pizzen bestimmt sein. Die Gegenstände können unmittelbar in die Verpackungsschachtel einzuführen sein oder auf einer Unterlage aufliegen. Der Ausdruck Gegenstand wird im Rahmen der Erfindung auch für Aggregate verwandt, die aus zwei einzelnen Elementen bestehen, z. B. aus zwei nebeneinanderliegenden Baguettes oder zwei aneinander angeschlossenen Pizzen. Die Gegenstände können im weiteren Verlauf in die Verpackungsschachtel, in die sie mit Hilfe der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung eingeführt werden, auch eingeschweißt werden und/oder die Verpackungsschachteln können auch mit einer Abdeckung versehen werden.The invention relates to a device with the features of the preamble of the claim. - The invention may be intended for the packaging of, in particular, elongated objects, such as baguettes or pizzas. The objects can be inserted directly into the packaging box or lie on a surface. The term object is also used in the context of the invention for aggregates which consist of two individual elements, for. B. from two adjacent baguettes or two pizzas connected to each other. In the further course, the objects can also be welded into the packaging box into which they are introduced with the aid of the device according to the invention and / or the packaging boxes can also be provided with a cover.

Eine Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Patentanspruches ist aus der US-A-33 70 694 bekannt. Dabei werden die Verpackungsschachteln auf einem schräg aufwärts gerichteten Schachtelförderer einzeln bis unter das Ende einer im wesentlichen horizontalen Zuführebene gebracht und dort mit den Gegenständen gefüllt. Die Gegenstände werden von den Mitnehmern des oberhalb der Zuführebene angeordneten Kettenförderers bewegt. Das alles erfordert einen verhältnismäßig großen steuerungstechnischen Aufwand.A device with the features of the preamble of the claim is known from US-A-33 70 694. In this case, the packaging boxes are brought individually on a box conveyor directed obliquely upwards to below the end of a substantially horizontal feed plane and filled there with the objects. The objects are moved by the drivers of the chain conveyor arranged above the feed level. All of this requires a relatively large amount of control engineering.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Gegenstände automatisch in die zugeordneten Verpackungsschachteln einzubringen, und zwar mit möglichst geringem steuerungstechnischen Aufwand.The invention is based on the object of automatically introducing the objects into the associated packaging boxes, with as little control engineering effort as possible.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit der Vorrichtung nach dem Patentanspruch gelöst. - Es versteht sich, daß bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung das Eindrücken der Gegenstände in den Kettenförderer bzw. auf die Zuführebene nach Maßgabe des Ankommens der Gegenstände erfolgen muß, z. B. mit Hilfe eines Annäherungsschalters. Der Kettenförderer kann mit einer dem Prozeß insgesamt angepaßten Geschwindigkeit kontinuierlich bewegt werden und bedarf insoweit keiner besonderen Steuerung. Eine besondere Steuerung der Bewegung des Schachtelförderers ist ebenfalls nicht erforderlich, da die Verpackungsschachteln auf Stau vor der Sperre stehen und die Gegenstände selbst die gefüllten Verpackungsschachteln aus der Sperre herausdrücken und damit bewirken, daß eine nächste Verpackungsschachtel aus dem Stau in die richtige Position gerät und in der beschriebenen Weise gefüllt werden kann.This object is achieved with the device according to the patent claim. - It is understood that in the device according to the invention, the pressing of the objects in the chain conveyor or on the feed level must take place in accordance with the arrival of the objects, for. B. with the help of a proximity switch. The chain conveyor can be moved continuously at a speed that is generally adapted to the process and in this respect does not require any special control. A special control of the movement of the box conveyor is also not necessary, since the packaging boxes are jammed in front of the lock and the objects themselves push the filled packaging boxes out of the lock and thus cause a next packaging box to get into the correct position from the jam and in can be filled as described.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer lediglich ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung ausführlicher erläutert. Es zeigen in schematischer Darstellung

Die in den Figuren dargestellte Vorrichtung ist für die Verpackung von langgestreckten Gegenständen 1 durch Einführung in eine Verpackungsschachtel 2, die jeweils einen Gegenstand 1 aufnimmt, bestimmt. Die Gegenstände 1 sind zur Unterscheidung von den Verpackungsschachteln 2 besonders schraffiert, die Verpackungsschachteln 2 sind mit übertrieben dicker Umgrenzung gezeichnet worden. - Zu der Vorrichtung gehören
ein im wesentlichen ebener Schachtelförderer 3 mit einer Sperre 4, die jeweils eine zu füllende Verpackungsschachtel 2 fixiert und vor der die folgenden Verpackungsschachteln 2 auf Stau stehen,
eine oberhalb des Schachtelförderers 3 angeordnete, abwärtsweisende schiefe Zuführebene 5 für die Gegenstände 1, die im Bereich der Sperre 4, jedoch vor der Sperre 4 endet,
ein Kettenförderer 6 oberhalb und parallel zur Zuführebene 5 mit Mitnehmern 7 für die einzelnen auf der Zuführebene 5 befindlichen Gegenstände 1,
eine Transporteinrichtung 8 für den Transport der Gegenstände 1 neben dem Kettenförderer 6, und
eine Zylinderkolbenanordnung 9 mit angeschlossener Weiche 10 am Ende der Transporteinrichtung 8.
The device shown in the figures is intended for the packaging of elongated objects 1 by insertion into a packaging box 2, each of which receives an object 1. The objects 1 are hatched to distinguish them from the packaging boxes 2, the packaging boxes 2 have been drawn with an excessively thick border. - Belong to the device
an essentially flat box conveyor 3 with a lock 4, each of which fixes a packaging box 2 to be filled and in front of which the following packaging boxes 2 are jammed,
a downward inclined feed plane 5 for the objects 1 arranged above the box conveyor 3, which ends in the area of the barrier 4, but before the barrier 4,
a chain conveyor 6 above and parallel to the feed level 5 with drivers 7 for the individual objects 1 located on the feed level 5,
a transport device 8 for the transport of the objects 1 next to the chain conveyor 6, and
a cylinder piston arrangement 9 with a connected switch 10 at the end of the transport device 8.

Die Anordnung und Organisation der Vorrichtung ist so getroffen, daß die auf der Transporteinrichtung 8 ankommenden Gegenstände 1 einzeln von der Zylinderkolbenanordnung 9 in den Kettenförderer 6 eindrückbar und von der Weiche 10 ausrichtbar sind. Die Gegenstände 1 sind von jeweils einem Mitnehmer 7 des Kettenförderers 6 von der schiefen Zuführebene 5 abdrückbar sowie in eine zu füllende Verpackungsschachtel 2 einführbar, die von der Sperre 4 gehalten wird. Diese Verpackungsschachtel 2 ist durch den Gegenstand 1 aus der Sperre 4 am Schachtelförderer 3 herausdrückbar. Das wiederholt sich mit jeder nächsten Verpackungsschachtel 2 und jedem nächsten Gegenstand 1.The arrangement and organization of the device is such that the objects 1 arriving on the transport device 8 can be individually pressed into the chain conveyor 6 by the cylinder piston arrangement 9 and can be aligned by the switch 10. The objects 1 can be pushed off the inclined feed plane 5 by a driver 7 of the chain conveyor 6 and can be inserted into a packaging box 2 to be filled, which is held by the lock 4. This packaging box 2 can be pushed out of the lock 4 on the box conveyor 3 by the object 1. This is repeated with every next packaging box 2 and every next item 1.
