Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a device for removing articles such as capsules, tablets, comfits and the like from their related compartments formed in a strip made from a thermoformable material.
  • the blister pack strip is subsequently covered, on the side where the compartments are open, with a film, after the articles have been placed in the latter, and then divided into a series of equal portions, commonly known as "blister packs".
  • the articles with which the compartments are filled are pharmaceutical products such as capsules, tablets or comfits.
  • the automatic machines for filling the compartments which operate following different techniques, have achieved levels of perfection generally able to guarantee that all the compartments in a blister pack strip are filled.
  • one of the compartments in the surface intended to form a blister pack remains empty, or is filled with an article that is not perfectly whole (with a part of it missing, for example).
  • the machines thus usually feature means which have the purpose of detecting whether any articles are missing from the compartments or whether those present have any imperfections.
  • the machine automatically rejects the corresponding blister pack in the operating stage that immediately precedes its being packaged in a box.
  • a known device of this kind makes the blister pack strip pass through a brief section in an inverted position, (moving, for example, through an "S" shape).
  • a shaped plate is located in the section, temporarily closing off the compartments in the strip.
  • This plate features a transverse slit of the same width as the surface of the blister pack strip in which a transverse row of compartments is located.
  • the slit is closed off by means of a removable plate subjected to the action of actuator means.
  • the actuator means are activated, in synchrony with the movement past the slit of the portion of blister pack strip where the fault has been detected.
  • the slit is thus opened for the time required for the surface of the strip to pass that corresponds to the blister pack destined to be rejected later, which is thus totally emptied, and then closed again.
  • the recovered articles are then sent back to the feed device for filling subsequent compartments in the blister pack strip.
  • Another device adopted on the said automatic machines features a chamber which is connected to a suction plant by means of interceptor means, and has an opening which faces the belt in such a way that its edges skim the corresponding surface of the openings of the compartments.
  • the interceptor means are de-activated in synchrony with the passage, below the chamber opening, of the portion of the strip destined to form the blister pack which will later be rejected.
  • the suction air flow to the chamber also draws along the articles contained in the compartments below.
  • the dimensions of the opening (having a rectangular shape, for example) of the suction chamber are such that only the compartments in an area equal to the portion of the strip which is destined to form the blister pack are subjected to the action of the suction air flow, such that the portions of the blister pack strip which come before and follow on from that which is to have its compartments emptied are left unaffected.
  • the quantity of the suction air flow is however difficult to determine with an end to obtaining optimum results.
  • a storage hopper has fillers alongside each other with shutters opening periodically, and a monitoring unit that is equipped with the same number of detectors as the rows of tablets, together with a time delay via which a separator mechanism is operated. Means for welding on a covering sheet are included.
  • the separator mechanism has nozzles, equal in number to that of the parking units, sucking in tablets and extending close to the conveyor belt. Valves in the nozzles are controlled by the time delay, and the nozzles are connected by pipes to the hopper
  • the upper parts of the nozzles of the separator mechanism are always under the action of vacuum, and the lower parts of the nozzles require a certain time to shift to the operating phase when necessary. This can lead to problems, if the high operating speed of the machines is considered.
  • valves of the nozzles are completely closed, a too high suction pressure occurs in the upper part, in respect of the suction pressure required to suck in the tablets.
  • the valves become opened, if the belt, or the band in most cases, is thin and light, it can also be upwardly displaced, striking against the nozzle tip.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a device for removing articles already located in the related compartments of a blister pack strip, that is able to operate on single articles without acting on the blister pack strip or causing it to jam.
  • a further object of the present invention is to propose a device as stated which is produced following a simple technical solution that is completely functional and totally reliable, as well as being versatile in use.
  • the proposed device should enable the articles to be removed from their related compartments in a simple and totally reliable manner, without affecting the possibility of adjusting the device according to one's needs, so that it can operate with different sizes of blister packs.
  • the present device for removing sundry articles, in particular capsules, tablets and comfits from their related compartments in a blister pack strip.
  • the proposed device is designed to operate along a line for packing articles, along which the blister pack strip is made to move by the action of corresponding means.
  • the line comprises means, made to operate by a control unit, for detecting the absence of articles in the related compartments, in successive portions of the blister pack strip, means for applying a film to the blister pack strip in order to close off the compartments, and means for cutting the strip into portions as well as for rejecting any blister pack which lack at least one of the articles.
  • the device operates between the detection means and the means for applying the film, at a point corresponding with the line, and is characterised by the fact that it comprises a pipe located above the blister pack strip and that forms at least one duct, one end of which is connected via a hose to a suction plant, whilst the opposite end features an opening, located facing the blister pack strip.
  • the development of the opening is prevalently transverse to the strip, such that it covers a zone of the belt occupied by a transverse row of the compartments, and is closed off during the non-operative stage of the device by a gate valve means.
  • a slot is located in front of the pipe, close to the opening, enabling a continuous air flow along the duct.
  • the control unit is able, following detection by the detection means that at least one article is missing in a portion of the blister pack strip, to command, in synchrony with the passage of the portion through a point corresponding to the device, the gate valve means to open, thus causing a suction effect in the opening, and consequently removing the articles located in the compartments below.
  • the device which is the subject of the present invention, situated so that it runs along a line 2 for the automatic packaging of articles such as tablets, capsules, and comfits, such as pharmaceutical products, for example.
  • a blister pack strip 3, featuring compartments 4, is drawn longitudinally along the said line 2 (by known means and/or techniques), in a forward feed direction A, with the openings of the compartments facing upwards.
  • Feed means of known type are located near the beginning of the line 2, for placing an article 5, which may have a disc-like shape, for example, as illustrated in Figures 1a and 1b, in each compartment 4.
  • Means 6 for detecting empty compartments or imperfect articles with a part missing, are located downstream of the feed means.
  • the means 6, which may comprise one or more sensors of known type, are electrically connected to a control unit 7.
  • These detection means 6 are located close to the blister pack strip 3 in order to function effectively.
  • the device 1 which is the object of the present invention, is located and operates downstream of the means 6, being actuated by control signals sent by the control unit 7 following detection of one of missing or imperfect articles, and removing all the articles from their related compartments 4 in the portion 8 of the strip 3, corresponding to a blister pack, in which the lack of an article or an imperfect article has been detected.
  • Means 9 for fitting a film 10 to the blister pack strip 3 to close off the compartments 4, and means 11 for cutting the strip 3 in to a series of portions (blister packs), and for rejecting those blister packs 8a which do not contain articles are, finally, located downstream of the device 1.
  • the device 1 comprises a pipe 12 located above the blister pack strip 3 connected to a suction plant of known type. More specifically, the pipe 12 forms at least one duct 13, whose shape is divergent in the vertical plane, the wider end of which is connected, by means of a union sleeve 14, to a hose 15 connected to the suction plant 16; the union sleeve 14 is inserted in a connector sleeve 12a formed in the pipe 12 at the said wider end of the duct 13.
  • the pipe 12 lies on a plane that is inclined downwards in the direction of travel A of the blister pack strip 3.
  • the narrow end of the duct 13 thus faces downwards and forwards in relation to this direction of travel A of the blister pack strip.
  • the pipe 12 features an opening 17 at this narrow end of the duct 13, this opening 17 facing the blister pack strip 3.
  • the development of the said opening 17 is prevalently transverse to the blister pack strip 3, in such a way that it covers an area of the strip occupied by one single transverse row of compartments 4. More specifically, the longitudinal dimensions of the opening 17 slightly exceed those of a single article 5; and the transverse dimensions are substantially the same as the width of the blister pack strip.
  • the duct 13 features a corresponding transversely widened zone 13a, adjacent to the opening 17.
  • the front part of the pipe 12 features a slot 18 close to the opening 17.
  • the slot 18 is of the same width as the opening 17 itself, and its size is proportional to longitudinal dimension of the latter.
  • the opening 17 is closed off, during the non-operative stages of the device, by a gate valve means 19 comprising a reed 20 that is mounted so that it can swing upon an arm 21 of a rocker 22.
  • the rocker 22 pivots upon a pin 23, which is mounted on a support 24 with its horizontal axis transverse to the blister pack strip 3; this support is housed in an upper cavity 25 in the pipe 12.
  • One end of the rocker 22 is designed to be acted upon by the piston 26 of a pneumatic actuator means 27.
  • the actuator 27 is operated by the flow of compressed air delivered via a hose 28, connected to known compressor means.
  • the hose 28 features interceptor means 29, in the form of, for example, a solenoid valve, connected to the control unit 7.
  • a helical spring 30 acts on the opposite end of the rocker 22, opposing the action of the piston 26; this spring is housed in facing seats 22a, 24a in the rocker 22 and support 24 respectively.
  • the arm 21 of the rocker 22 is located so that it passes through a slot 31 in the pipe 12 in a plane vertically longitudinal to the blister pack strip 3.
  • the slot is located in a full portion of the pipe 12b, shaped in the median plane by the widened zone 13a of the said duct 13; the front part of this full portion features acute edges in order to minimise the resistance it opposes to the flow of air along the duct 13.
  • the pipe 12 has also been envisaged in a form in which it features a series of ducts, thus being able to operate simultaneously on a corresponding series of blister pack strips, conveyed coplanar to and alongside one another along the line 2.
  • Figure 2 is an illustration of one example of a pipe featuring a pair of lateral ducts 13b which are symmetrical in relation to the central duct and which branch out from a connector sleeve 12a; each of these ducts is obviously fitted with a related gate valve means 19 for closing off their related openings 17.
  • the pipe 12 is supported so that it is able to swing upon a shaft 32, horizontally transverse to the said belt 3, to which it is locked by means of lock rings 33.
  • the shaft 32 is supported by a pair of walls 34, located on either side of the blister pack strip 3, and passes through laterally located bushes 35 formed in the upper surface of the pipe 12.
  • a pin 36 which is inserted as a free fit in a hole in a lever 37 which pivots on the shaft 32 (Fig. 4) protrudes outwards from one bush 35.
  • the weight of the pipe 12 forces the latter to swing downwards around the shaft 32 until striking the lever 37 against a stop 40 (e.g. a grub screw engaging with a related seat in a body 41 that is an integral part of one of the aforementioned walls 34); by operating on the said grub screw 40 it is possible to adjust the bottom end-of-stroke position of the pipe 12, which is to the distance between lower end of the latter and the blister pack strip 3 below it.
  • a stop 40 e.g. a grub screw engaging with a related seat in a body 41 that is an integral part of one of the aforementioned walls 34
  • a proximity sensor 48 fixed to the body 41, detects this bottom end-of-stroke position.
  • the raising movement of the pipe is elastically opposed by a spring 42, located between the lever 37 and a body 43 fixed to a related wall 34.
  • the detection means 6 detect that there are one or more missing or imperfect articles in a portion 8 of the strip 3 that is destined to subsequently form a blister pack, they send a corresponding electric signal to the control unit 7.
  • the compressed air delivered via the hose 28 causes the piston 26 to be moved, this in turn causing the angular rotation of the rocker 22; the reed 20 moves backwards, opening the opening 17 (Fig. 1b).
  • the duct 13 is brought into communication with the portion of the blister pack strip 3 below it. There is a constant air flow along the duct 13, entering through the corresponding front slot 18 of the pipe, and generated by suction means connected to the pipe 12 by means of the hose 15. There is thus a depression in the opening 17.
  • the forward movement of the blister pack strip 3 causes a successive row of compartments 4 in the strip to be emptied.
  • the control unit 7 sends a new signal to solenoid valve 29, causing the piston 26 to return; the gate valve means 19 close due to the action of the spring 30.
  • the distance between the lower end of the pipe and the blister pack strip 3 beneath can thus vary; this is detected by the sensor 48 which, as a consequence, stops the means (not illustrated) for drawing along the blister pack strip, enabling the mode in which the latter is filled to be returned to normal.
  • Changing over one pipe for another of a different type may demand that one adjust the aforementioned bottom end-of-stroke position; this may be rapidly and easily effected by operating on the grub screw 40, and adjusting the axial position of the sensor 48.
  • the gate valve 20 also may, for example, be operated in a horizontal plane instead of in a vertical plane as shown in the drawings.
