Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for attaching a packaged drinking straw to a package, in which the packaged drinking straws are brought in the form of a band, separated, held under vacuum and conveyed intermittently into a transfer station in such a way that the intermittent movement is converted into a continuous, linear movement is, wherein the individual, packed straws are attached to continuously conveyed packs, and also relates to a device therefor, in which the packs can be transported in a defined position on a conveyor which can be moved continuously at a first speed.
  • Liquid packs are known, the contents of which are sometimes deprived by the end user using a drinking straw. It is already known to attach drinking straws encased in plastic films or paper to liquid packs and to offer such packs commercially.
  • packaged straws delivered from a belt are isolated on a drum, but from this drum the transfer takes place directly into the tongs of a continuously rotating tongs conveyor chain, which rotates around two guide rollers in such a way that one strand makes a straight, continuous movement parallel to the path of the packaging, and this is the application area in which the packaged and isolated drinking straws from these tongs on the packaging be applied.
  • the transition from the intermittently rotated drum to the continuously moving tongs conveyor chain takes place at a point-like transfer point in a very short moment, in which the tongs open and after delivery of the drinking straw in a U-shaped holder, a pressure arm must be switched immediately into the holding position. This transfer must be done with great precision and inevitably causes problems and is prone to failure.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a method and a device for attaching a drinking straw to a pack, in which a more reliable transition from the initially intended intermittent movement of the packaged drinking straw to the continuous movement required later on is easier and nevertheless take place with high performance can.
  • this object is achieved according to the invention in that the intermittent into the continuous movement is reshaped in that the individual drinking straw held by vacuum is in a straight line at a certain distance at an interposed transfer station at the same speed as that of the continuously conveyed Packs moved and then loaded into the applicator.
  • the movement takes place in a straight line and at the same speed as that of the conveyed packs already in the transfer station, but here only a little way, and only then is the packaged drinking straw loaded into the application device.
  • the respective free ends of the legs of the U are attached to the first-mentioned paper web by gluing, crimping (or in the case of plastic materials by sealing) so that a sealing seam is arranged between two successive drinking straws on the continuously running first web, in the longitudinal direction of which one could cut to separate two drinking straws.
  • the adhesive, connecting or sealing seam between two successive drinking straws of such a tape must of course, be wide enough so that the cross-sectionally U-shaped packaging of the drinking straw itself, which can consist of straw, plastic or the like, remains closed on all sides, even if the individually packaged drinking straws are separated from the band by cutting.
  • the invention is advantageously further developed in that the individual drinking straw held by vacuum is applied to the package by clamping pressure, preferably on the sealed seam of the package.
  • the packaged drinking straw is expediently attached by gluing, heat sealing or the like, so that it is advantageous if, according to the invention, the drinking straw is pressed onto the package by pressure, and if only for a short time, e.g. the pack is in an application section, e.g. when the drinking straw is moved the said piece far at the same speed directly next to the package and / or the application device. In this way the drinking straw can be directly and practically into the application device, e.g. a pressure arm or pliers and then or alternatively pressed onto the package.
  • the application device e.g. a pressure arm or pliers
  • the packaged drinking straw is moved to a certain extent against the direction of the continuous, linear movement, stopped and then loaded into the application device after the movement has been reversed at the speed of the continuously conveyed package.
  • the conveyor on which the packages can be conveyed from the pack-making machine at equal intervals and set in a specific position and the separating device, from which the packaged straws are conveyed in a separated form, held under vacuum, to arrange an intermediate conveyor which holds the application devices. It is expedient if such an intermediate conveyor also rotates continuously, since it is supposed to deliver the drinking straw to packs that continuously pass by and fasten it there.
  • a conveyor chain that has a lower run and an upper run is therefore particularly favorable, with the straws being transferred to the pack on the lower run, for example, while the straws are picked up on the upper run. It is very advantageous here if the movement of the straws carried by vacuum is transformed from the intermittent into the continuous between this conveyor chain and the singling station.
  • the pressure arm which is to receive the drinking straw, should be moved at the same speed and direction as the individual drinking straw that has just been held. Then you can carry out the transfer from the vacuum holding device into the pressure arm with particularly simple means.
  • a reversing slide could be provided in the area of the upper run, which is initially shifted towards the end of the conveyor chain at a much greater speed than the translational speed of the conveyor chain or also of the continuously conveyed packs , for example the one end of the transfer section, in order then to be reversed after stopping in the direction of movement, so that now over the entire transfer section, ie from its end to its beginning, for example the length of the upper strand of the conveyor chain, the pressure arms or application devices in same speed and direction close to vacuum holding devices, such as a vacuum cylinder.
  • the above-mentioned object is achieved in that the transfer devices for the drinking straws from a step-by-step drum into the pressure arms at least one partially driven synchronously to the tongs conveyor chain reversing carriage which is arranged between the drum and the straight run of the tongs conveyor chain in a translationally movable manner.
  • a pack manufacturing machine produces a continuous series of packs running continuously at a uniform speed, which are moved at regular intervals from one another on a pack conveyor, preferably translationally, with a part of this straight line being taken as the application section.
  • a row of pressure arms is arranged on an endlessly rotating tongs conveyor chain arranged next to the pack conveyor and each pressure arm has a cam follower which is guided by a first control cam curve for the controlled movement of the pressure arm relative to the tongs conveyor chain.
  • the provision of several pressure arms corresponds to the row of packs coming out of the packaging machine at an even distance from one another. In order to produce a large number of pieces per unit of time, a high-performance machine is desired, and since a certain transfer time is required when sticking or attaching drinking straws to a package, the performance of the machine can be increased by the features mentioned above.
  • a first control cam curve ensures the movement of the pressure arm relative to the tong conveyor chain, for example in such a way that the pressure arm adopts a receiving position along a first conveying path in which it picks up the individual, packaged drinking straws, and then assumes a second position in which the drinking straw is pressed on the package.
  • a drum with holding devices for the drinking straws is rotatably provided at the described position of the device, so that, for example, the separation can be carried out on the drum by a knife retracting between two drinking straws at the respective standstill of the gradually driven drum and thus the separation of the packed straws in the manner described above.
  • a step-by-step vacuum cylinder which is driven synchronously with the drum is arranged on the reversing slide and devices are provided for transferring a single, packaged drinking straw from the drum to the vacuum cylinder and from this into a pressure arm.
  • Vacuum is used to hold the drinking arms, at least when they are on the reversing slide.
  • a vacuum line can be routed from the stationary machine to the reversing slide via hoses.
  • the vacuum cylinder attached to the reversing slide due to its step-by-step movement, picks up the individual drinking straw at a standstill when the drum is at a standstill.
  • Appropriate equipment is then used to guide the drinking straw in question into one of the series of pressure arms on the tongs conveyor chain.
  • a counter clamp arm controllable by a second control cam curve, is provided on the tongs conveyor chain in addition to the pressure arm.
  • This allows the pressure arm and counter clamp arm to work together like a pair of pliers, so that a single straw, which is located in the holder of the pressure arm, can also be pressed onto tabs, sealing seams or the like, which are located on a package, since the force finds a counter force .
  • a single arm is also moved on the tong conveyor chain, which presses against the package in such a way that the counterpressure is caused by the content, i.e. the package itself is delivered.
  • the device for holding the drinking straw on the pressure arm has a recess with a vacuum hole, and vacuum lines are provided which can be moved with the tong conveyor chain and can be connected to a stationary vacuum channel. It has already been indicated that the drinking straw is held by vacuum on the so-called vacuum cylinder. This also allows the straw to be moved overhead, for example a 360 ° rotation with the vacuum cylinder, without the position of the conveyed straw being adversely changed. But also on the pressure arm you can hold the drinking straw by vacuum according to the inventive proposal.
  • the vacuum lines that are led from the vacuum holes in the pressure arm to the ultimately stationary vacuum device must be suitably designed.
  • a stationary vacuum channel for example encompassing a sprocket of the tongs conveyor chain in a U-shape, is arranged within the chain at least along part of the tongs conveyor chain, means described below, in particular a slide belt with at least one hole, being provided in order to to transfer the vacuum from the center of the tong conveyor chain to parts running outside it, to which the pressure arms are rotatably attached.
  • the tape coming from a supply roll with the packed drinking straws is guided via a first deflecting roller onto the drum, which can be rotated step by step about a horizontal axis, in the circumference of which numerous, equally spaced recesses in the shape of a bowl of this size are arranged, that a repackaged straw fits in there.
  • the packaging of the straws is preferably selected such that a second band is placed on a substantially flat band of paper, foil or the like in a sinusoidal or U-shaped manner such that in the respective bellies or a straw comes to rest in the interior of the respective U-shape, with a distance that this band can be placed exactly on the drum.
  • the circumference of the drum has a slot between said trough-shaped recesses, which extends radially lower than the U-shaped recesses in the direction of the center of the drum.
  • a knife is driven intermittently in a stroke-like manner by means of a pneumatic pressure cylinder, so that when the drum is at a standstill, a cutting slot faces the knife, so that it can enter the cutting slot and cut the tape along the adhesive seam between two drinking straws.
  • a pneumatic pressure cylinder When the drum is turned further, the now packed, isolated drinking straws are held in their recess by a further guide rail and moved into a “lower” delivery position rotated, for example, by 180 ° with respect to the “upper” starting position.
  • the circumference of the drum there are also two grooves which are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the drum and over which the drinking straws are arranged.
  • Lifting takes place on the vacuum cylinder, which is also driven step by step and is arranged on the reversing sled "below" when first it is in the second end position and second it is stationary.
  • a stepping motor is preferably attached, which advances the vacuum cylinder by one step, while the reversing slide is translationally moved into its first starting position with great acceleration.
  • One step takes as long as one stroke of the sled.
  • the vacuum cylinder has a polygonal circumference, and during operation it can be assumed that drinking straws lie in about half of the circumference of the drum in the U-shaped troughs and therefore about half of the circumference of the vacuum cylinder distributes packaged drinking straws Vacuum on the circumference are held so that the flat part of the band of the straw packaging lies on the flat circumferential part of the vacuum cylinder and the straw protrudes radially outwards.
  • the reversing slide is now stopped at its first starting position and returned to its second end position at a slower speed, this second slower speed being the same as that at which the row of pressure arms is continuously guided on a toothed conveyor chain arranged "under" the reversing carriage .
  • a second transfer finger is rotatably arranged such that when it is rotated, an individual drinking straw is lifted approximately radially from the vacuum cylinder and inserted into a trough-shaped recess in the pressure arm arranged opposite. Vacuum is now present on the pressure arm, it holds the separated and packaged drinking straw and guides it to the starting point of the application section, the upper run of the tong conveyor chain lying opposite the reversing carriage and the application section lying next to the lower run of the tong conveyor chain.
  • the tongs arms move on the tongs conveyor chain at the same speed and in the same direction as the packs on the packaging conveyor until the end of the application section is reached, where the tongs are opened by the control cam curves and the purpose of the device according to the invention is achieved , namely the drinking straw is on the pack.

  • the tongs conveyor chain 9 and at the very bottom the pack conveyor 10 with the packs 11.
  • the band 2 of the packaged drinking straws 3 moves according to arrow 1 over a first deflection roller 12 onto the drum 4, is processed by the cutting station 5 so that individual, packed drinking straws 3 from a first pair of transfer fingers 13, 13 'at position I. be transferred to the vacuum cylinder 7 attached to the reversing slide 6. This is in the second end position II shown with solid lines in FIG. 1 and then moves with great acceleration in the direction of arrow 14 to a first start position, not shown in FIG. 1, where the reversing slide is stopped. Due to its clockwise rotation on the vacuum cylinder 7, the isolated drinking straw 3 has now reached a position as shown at the very bottom and labeled III.
  • This transfer takes place while the reversing carriage 6 moves in the direction opposite to the direction indicated by the arrow 14, ie to the left in FIG. 1, and at the same speed as the upper run 18 of the tongs conveyor chain 9, which moves more slowly in the direction of the arrow 19 moving uniform speed.
  • the isolated drinking straw is carried down to the lower strand 20, below which the pack conveyor 10 moves in the direction of arrow 21 at the same speed so that the attachment of the drinking straw 3 to the sealing seam 22 protruding upwards towards the tong conveyor chain 9 in as shown.
