Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring continuously conveyed flat, at their ends opposite in the conveying direction of unevenly thick objects, in particular flat-lying folding bottom boxes, to a packing device according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device for storing flat objects, in particular folding bottom boxes according to the Preamble of claim 6.
  • DE-OS 20 09 373 describes a generic device for stacking newspapers, in which the newspapers conveyed on a conveyor belt are divided by a distribution station into two conveyors, each of which leads to the opposite sides of a receiving station, where the newspapers are stacked and be bundled. While a conveyor device conveys the newspapers to the front side of the receiving station, which is located in the direction of transport, the second conveyor device leads below it and turns through 180 ° to the rear side of the receiving station.
  • a device for forming a regular stack of folding boxes in which the flow supplied from folding boxes is also divided into two conveying devices.
  • a conveyor device leads above the stacking point in an arc of 180 ° to the rear of the stacking point, where it places the folding boxes below in a stacking shaft.
  • a disadvantage of these known devices is that continuous packing of the objects in a vertical position in boxes, as is customary with folding boxes, is not possible.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a generic device with which open, folded objects, especially folding bottom boxes, are guided to a subsequent packing device so that they can be easily packed in a vertical position in cartons.
  • Another object is to provide a structurally simple device with which it is possible to lay flat-lying folding boxes, which tend to sag, in succession from two opposite sides at a low drop height.
  • the first object is achieved with the features of patent claim 1.
  • Collecting on a cross-conveying conveyor belt enables the use of automatic or semi-automatic packing devices for placing the objects in a vertical position in outer cartons.
  • Suitable packing facilities are e.g. described in DE-PS 22 61 416 or in DE-OS 38 01 279.
  • Sub-claim 4 solves the second task.
  • the subclaims contain preferred embodiments of the invention. While the feature of claim 1 avoids problems with collecting due to an excessively high drop height, the conveying conveyor belt in the embodiment according to claim 2 is at an optimal height for manual insertion into outer cartons.
  • Sub-claim 3 contains a space-saving construction of a device according to claim 1.
  • the sub-claims 5 to 7 contain constructively advantageous configurations of a device according to claim 4.
  • the drawings serve to explain the invention with reference to an embodiment shown in simplified form.
  • the exemplary embodiment is used to transfer flat-lying folding-bottom boxes, which were produced from blanks in an upstream gluing machine, to a packing device, where they are placed in outer cartons.
  • Fig. 1 shows a longitudinal section through a transfer device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of the storage area on the conveyor belt transversely to the direction of transport.
  • Fig. 3 shows a longitudinal section through the storage area.
  • a conveyor belt 1 leads from a folding box gluing machine (not shown) to a transfer device 2 for the individual feeding of folding boxes to two separate conveying devices 3, 4, each consisting of a rotating upper and lower belt. Between the transfer device 2 and the conveying devices 3, 4 there is a controllable belt lock 5 with which the folding boxes can alternately be fed to the two conveying devices 3, 4. Such a belt lock 5 is described in DE-GM 87 17 500.
  • Both conveyors 3, 4 run in a vertical plane and each end on opposite sides and at a low height above a horizontal, cross-conveying conveyor belt 6, which is arranged approximately at the level of the conveyor belt 1 and leads to a packing device, not shown.
  • the lower conveyor 4 passes below the conveyor belt 6 and is then turned back by 180 ° and ends at a short distance above the conveyor belt 6.
  • the upper conveyor 3 leads directly to the cross belt 6 without the folding boxes being turned and ends at approximately the same height like the conveying device 4 on the opposite side of the conveyor belt 6. So that the length of the conveying path of the two conveying devices 3, 4 matches, the conveying device 3 is guided in a compensating loop to the transverse belt 6.
  • the cross belt 6 - a revolving belt conveyor - leads to a packing device, not shown, with which the folding boxes are inserted into outer cartons.
  • the deflecting rollers 7, 8 of the conveyor belts 9, 10 forming the end of the conveying devices 3, 4 are located on both sides with a short distance above the cross belt 6. Their distance from one another is adjustable, so that the storage area 11 located between them is at different folding box lengths can be adjusted.
  • Two lateral, also adjustable stops 12, 13 are arranged below the lower deflection rollers 7.2, 8.2 above the cross belt 6. Laterally at a distance from the conveyor belts 9, 10, two rods 14, 14, 14 and 15 are arranged parallel to these, somewhat above the lower run of the upper belts 9.1, 10.1 at the end of each conveyor 3, 4 Storage area 11 are sufficient.
  • the folding boxes 16 are pushed upwards at their lateral edges when leaving the conveying device 3, 4 into the storage area 11. This leads to stabilization in the transport direction, so that the respective front end of the folding boxes 16 does not bend downwards when the guidance through the transport belts 9 or 10 ends.
  • vertical guide rollers for pressing up the lateral edges of the folding boxes are arranged laterally next to the deflection rollers 7 and 8 on the outlet side.
  • the circumference of the guide rollers extends slightly above the lower run of the upper conveyor belts 9.1. or 10.1. This can be done, for example, by coaxial to the outlet-side deflection rollers 7.1. or 8.1. arranged guide rollers can be achieved with a slightly larger diameter.
  • a shingled stream is continuously conveyed from the conveyor belt 1 to the transfer device 2 by the collecting and pressing device of a folding-bottom box gluing machine.
  • the folded bottom of the folded bottom boxes 16 is located at the front and accordingly the lid is at the rear and at the top.
  • a certain number (e.g. 10) boxes 16 of the stream of streams accumulating in front of the transfer device 2 are first fed one by one to the conveyor devices 3 or 4 at a distance using the belt lock 5. After the set number of boxes, the belt lock 5 switches over to the other conveyor 3 or 4.
  • a continuous stream of flakes is thus generated on the transversely conveying conveyor belt 6. This stream of flakes is automatically introduced into outer cartons by means of a packing device, not shown.
  • the folding bottom boxes 16 placed on the conveyor belt 6 by the lower conveyor 4 are turned 180 ° with respect to the folding bottom boxes 16 fed with the conveyor 3, so that the thicker side with the bottom is placed on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 6. Since it is not possible due to the alternate placement of both conveying devices 3, 4, the folding bottom boxes 16, which tend to sag, extend over the entire storage location 11, the folding bottom boxes 16 are kept curved transversely to the direction of transport when leaving the conveyors 3, 4. This is done by means of the rods 14.1, 14.2 and 15. The curvature transverse to the direction of transport stabilizes the folding bottom boxes 16, which can thus be continuously stacked on top of one another without any problems.
  • Stabilization is particularly necessary in the case of the folding bottom box 16 fed by the lower conveyor device 4, since when they leave the transport belts 10.1., 10.2 they are last only held by their lid and must additionally be pushed over the side parts of the previous folding bottom boxes 16 located above.
