Definitions
- the invention relates to the conditioning and packaging of objects such as, in particular, empty containers.
- Document FR 1 485 252 teaches an apparatus for bundling and binding bottles, these being pressed against each other, placed on a sheet of paper, and surrounded by retaining links.
- the documents FR 2 152 191, FR 2 320 881 and FR 2 501 625 also relate to the technique of palletizing bottles.
- the technology of palletizing and packaging objects such as empty containers, in particular glass has several aspects: the constitution of the container beds, individually and if necessary monoblocks; the constitution of the palletized load, that is to say on the one hand the stacking of the beds on top of each other on top of a pallet and on the other part, their separation by means of separation (dividers); the packaging (or in this case and according to the expression of the trade overpacking) of the palletized load thus constituted in a plastic film.
- Such a palletized overwrapped load of empty glass containers or equivalent is carried out, for example, at the outlet of a container manufacturing unit and it thus remains constituted, for example, until the inlet of a filling, capping, labeling, etc. unit for these containers . And, between the two units, the overpacked palletized load is generally transported and stored.
- Such an overpacked palletized load may include, for example, ten container beds, each of which may include between about 100 and 1,000 containers (for example for beer cans, each bed may have on the order of 300 to 400 cans ).
- a pallet such as those that can be used can have dimensions of the order of 1m x 1.2m.
- the palletized load can have a height of up to 2.5 m and a total weight of the order of a ton.
- the containers for which palletization and packaging are envisaged most often have poor stability, in particular because of their size and shape. And stacking as such is generally impossible due also to their shape (presence of necks). This constraint therefore leads to paying special attention to the maintenance of the containers constituting the palletized load.
- the strapping technique consists in placing laterally around each bed of containers one (or more) link surrounding the containers of the bed, closed and secured to itself. This link ensures the maintenance of the bed. Between each bed is placed an interlayer which is a sheet of paper or cardboard. This technique is generally illustrated by document FR 2 501 625 .
- the link used is generally a very narrow strip of polypropylene, for example of the order of half a centimeter in width, for containers which may be ten or more centimeters in height.
- the realization of the closed link surrounding the container bed is obtained by a device of the strapping type as implemented with strip.
- this strapping device is incorporated into a frame-shaped head also comprising a device for gripping a bed of containers by means of deformable tubes, inflated for this purpose.
- the device of FR 2 501 625 corresponds to the preamble of the independent claims .
- the tray technique consists in placing each bed of containers in a tray comprising a bottom and side walls corresponding, functionally and respectively to the interlayer and to the link of the strapping technique.
- the bin can either be pre-formed, or, on the contrary, formed as the palletized load is formed. This latter variant is generally illustrated by the documents FR 2 152 191 and FR 2 320 881.
- This technique of the tray also has several drawbacks, namely, its cost and the pollution that can result from the use of cardboard for producing the tray.
- the invention therefore aims to satisfactorily solve the problems of tightness, cleanliness and maintenance, in the case of palletizing and overpacking of empty containers, made of glass or equivalent, while avoiding excessive cost, whether in consumable material or in specific device (investment).
- the invention finally proposes a palletized load obtained by the process, as defined in claim 13.
- the invention relates to a method and a device for packaging and packaging articles 1 to constitute an overpacked palletized load, comprising several superimposed beds 2 of articles 1, each bed 2 comprising a plurality of articles 1 juxtaposed.
- Articles 1 are in particular, and preferably with regard to the application envisaged here, empty containers, in particular of glass or equivalent, that is to say, more generally, articles of tormented shape, of intrinsic stability limited and requiring special protection.
- a phase of constituting a bed 2 of articles articles 1 are accumulated and grouped juxtaposed in a preparation zone 4 to constitute a bed of articles 2 awaiting stacking.
- a phase of constituting a bed of articles 2 is generally known per se, as such, and does not require further detail.
- This phase can use means for constituting a bed of articles 2 by accumulation, in the preparation zone 4, associated with means for feeding articles such as the conveyor 3.
- These means for constituting a bed of articles may comprise, in addition to the conveyor 3, a movable barrier 5 located downstream.
- a free pallet 6 is grabbed from a pallet store, not shown, it is transported from this store to a stacking area 7, this pallet 6 is then awaiting stacking.
- the stacking zone 7 is spaced apart but generally close to the zone for preparing the bed 4.
- the installation for implementing the method therefore comprises at least one pallet magazine and means for gripping a free pallet from the magazine, transporting it and depositing it in the stacking zone 7.
- an insert 8 is taken from an insert store (not shown), it is transported from this store to the stacking area 7 and it is deposited, in the stacking zone 7, on the pallet 6 awaiting stacking or on a lower bed of stacked articles 2.
- This insert 8 then constitutes a standby insert.
- the installation for implementing the method therefore carries at least one interlayer magazine 8 and means for gripping a magazine interlayer, transporting it and depositing it in the stacking zone 7.
- the bed of articles 2 is gripped awaiting stacking and therefore being in the preparation zone 4, it is transported from this preparation zone 4 to the stacking area 7 and it is deposited in the stacking area on the interlayer 8 on standby.
- the installation for implementing the method comprises means 9 for stacking article beds 2 comprising gripping means 10, transport means and means for depositing article beds 2 from the preparation zone 4 to the stacking zone 7.
- the phases of constituting a bed of articles 2, of placing an interlayer 8 and of stacking a bed of articles 2 are repeated successively for each bed of the load. palletized, from the lower bed closest to pallet 6 to the upper bed forming the upper face of the palletized load.
- the installation for implementing the method therefore comprises means for overpacking the palletized load constituted capable of achieving this covering of the vertical and horizontal upper faces of the palletized load with film finally clamped on the load.
- This overwrapping film fulfills several functions. It contributes to the cohesion of the load by tightening the beds in a lateral direction and therefore preventing disintegration. It constitutes a continuous barrier capable of preventing re-entry into the palletized load of water vapor, dust, etc.
- each of the article beds 2 is laterally surrounded with a lateral holding member closed in a loop on himself.
- the loop-shaped holding member 12 is therefore placed horizontally, the article beds 2 themselves being placed horizontally.
- an installation for implementing the process therefore comprises means for placing on the beds of successive articles 2 a lateral holding member 12 closed in a loop on itself having the characteristics mentioned above.
- the invention uses, as retaining member 12, a strip of film made of flexible plastic material, having a substantial width relative to the height of the articles 1 and capable of producing a substantial clamping of the bed of articles 2.
- the installation for implementing the method is therefore characterized in that it includes means for setting up such a holding member.
- the height of items 1 means the dimension counted in the vertical direction. It corresponds to the spacing between two neighboring dividers 8.
- the film strip used according to the invention has a width which is substantial, this width itself being substantial relative to the height of the articles 1.
- this width of the strip is the order of a significant fraction of the height of the articles or even of the order of magnitude of the height of the articles 1.
- the width of the strip is substantially greater than the height of the articles 1, for example of the order of 1.2 to 2.5 times the height of the articles 1.
- the strip used in the invention may have, for example, a width of the order of several centimeters to several tens of centimeters and this for articles 1, such as containers of common use, such as: bottles, cans of beer, bottles of cleaning products, bottles of perfume or cosmetic products, glass containers for pharmaceutical products, and vs... ; containers, the height of which may itself be between a few centimeters, ten or thirty centimeters.
- the retaining member 12 thus formed ensures substantial clamping of the article bed 2.
- substantial clamping of the article bed 2 is meant that the retaining member 12 is placed laterally around the bed of articles 2 not only adjusted dimensionally but as that it exerts on the bed compressive forces of general horizontal direction directed towards the center of the bed.
- the existence of such compressive forces directed towards the inside of a load are known per se in the overpack of palletized load and this notion of a substantial tightening of a bed of articles is within the reach of the skilled in the art.
- the lateral holding member 12 not only ensures positive maintenance of the articles 1 by preventing them from falling but gives the bed 2 a cohesive force.
- the holding member can also at least partially cover the tapered shapes of the container necks, and this effectively.
- a strip of heat-shrinkable plastic film is used as a retaining member 12 in a variant and, once the retaining member 12 is placed on the bed of articles 2, it is heats to heat shrink.
- a heat-shrinkable film is used but a stretch film and the film strip is lengthened, in particular beyond its elastic limit, when placing articles 2 on the bed.
- the pre-stretching technique is within the reach of those skilled in the art having at their disposal the state of the art and in particular the document FR 2 281 275. There is therefore no need to describe this technique further here.
- the width of the holding member 12 is of the order of a significant fraction of the height of the articles 1 or of the height of the articles themselves. 1. As a variant, this width is substantially greater than the height of the articles 1.
- the retaining member 12 projects above and / or below the bed of articles 2, a protruding part 13 of the retaining member 12 being intended to overlap the pallet 6 or a bed of articles 2 lower and / or upper, in particular on another retaining member 12 lower and / or higher.
- the successive retaining members 12 come with overlap by their projecting part 13 form, in combination, a continuous face.
- this alternative embodiment allows the lateral retaining members 12 to constitute, from the outer packaging, namely the part of the latter covering the vertical lateral faces of the palletized load.
- the film strip intended to constitute the lateral retaining member 12 comes from one or two reels of flat film strip 14 whose anterior transverse free edges 15 are secured (FIGS. 9, 10 and 11). This joining is carried out in particular by heat sealing.
- film sheath 16 is used, in particular with lateral bellows, of which an axial section is cut transversely, this sheath or section being depolored by constituting a closed loop.
- the step of constituting the closed but deployed loop constituting the holding member 12 in concealed time and outside the article bed 2 is carried out, in particular in a preparation area for the said loop. And, then, or transports the holding member 12 thus produced from this preparation zone to a bed of articles 2. And, finally, the holding member 12 is threaded onto the bed of articles 2.
- the rate of the process is not limited by the time necessary for the production of the retaining member 12 in the form of a loop since the production of this retaining member 12 in the form of a loop occurs simultaneously at the same time as other operating phases.
- this embodiment is advantageous with regard to the space requirement since the means, devices, organs necessary for constituting the holding member 12 can be placed away from the area of preparation of the bed 2 and of the stacking zone 7, zones in which the installation comprises a certain number of organs inherent in the implementation of the method.
- the step of constituting the closed but deployed loop constituting the holding member 12 is carried out directly on the bed of articles 2.
- the lateral holding phases are carried out on the articles beds awaiting stacking in the preparation zone 4. And then the article bed 2 thus held laterally is transported from the bed preparation area 4 up to the stacking area 7 and this in the stacking phases.
- the lateral holding phases, for the successive beds 2 are carried out respectively prior to the stacking phases.
- the lateral holding phases are carried out on the stacked articles beds 2 in the bed stacking area 4. And, beforehand, the article beds 2 are transported without lateral holding members 12 from the preparation area 4 to the stacking area 7, in the stacking phases. In this case, the lateral holding phases, for the successive beds, are carried out respectively after the stacking phases.
- the strip of film section has a width greater than the height of the articles 1 so that it has projecting parts 13.
- the packaging phases for transverse support.
- the overpack 11 of the packaged palletized load, on its vertical lateral faces is produced by the combination of the holding members 12 overlapping each other.
- the holding members are heated for their retraction, either bed by bed as and when they are stacked, or as a whole when all the beds are stacked.
- the heating retraction means operate so intermittent, successively for each bed.
- the heat shrinkage can itself be carried out gradually either along vertical zones which are displaced around the load, or along zones forming a horizontal ring corresponding to the successive beds.
- the invention also relates to an overpacked palletized load which is obtained by the process which has just been described.
- This overpacked palletized load comprises, for each bed of articles 2, a lateral retaining member 12 in the form of a strip of flexible plastic material having a substantial width relative to the height of the articles 1, this strip being capable of achieving substantial clamping of the bed. of article.
- Such an overpacked palletized load also includes an overpack 11.
- the overpack 11 is constituted, as regards the vertical phases of the palletized load, by the lateral retaining members 12 which overlap each other. on the others.
- the invention also relates to an installation for implementing the method which has just been described.
- the process can be the subject of numerous variants starting from the same inventive concept such as in particular the heat-shrinkable or stretchable nature of the filler; the width of the strip of the holding member 12 which is less but a significant fraction of the height of the articles 1, equal to or greater than the height of the articles 1; the production of the holding member 12 from reels of flat film strip or from film sheath; the step of constituting the closed loop constituting the holding member 12 in masked time or in unmasked time, directly on the article bed or not, in the zone for preparing the article beds or in the zone d 'stacking or in another area separated from them; the installation for implementing the method may be subject to variant embodiments adapted to the variants of the method.
- the installation as just described comprises means for controlling the various constituent parts in a coordinated manner so as to ensure their sequential operation in an appropriate manner.
- the means of constituting a bed of articles 2 may comprise the conveyor 3 and a movable dam 5 downstream.
- the means for stacking the beds of articles 2 comprise for example a gripping head 10 with gripping rods inflatable by compressed air, a gripper capable of moving the head 10 in particular horizontally and vertically and means for controlling and coordinating these movements and operations.
- the gripper can for example be a sort of handling robot comprising a vertical column and a horizontal arm, the arm being able to pivot around a vertical axis on the one hand and passing through the column and being able to slide vertically.
- the means for positioning the retaining members 12 then comprise heating means 17 ensuring the heat shrinkage of the strips of heat shrinkable film constituting the members holding 12.
- heating means for heat shrinking are well known per se in the packaging technique with heat shrink film. It can be a retraction frame projecting hot air or even flames coming from a burner or infrared radiation, without this list being exhaustive.
- the means for positioning the holding members 12 comprise means for longitudinal stretching of the strip of stretch film constituting these holding members 12.
- Such stretching means longitudinal can either be conventional stretching means by braking between a film reel support pin and a drive load of the film or pre-stretching means with rollers, positively motorized or passive such that the upstream roller - relative to the direction of travel of the film strip - rotates at a peripheral speed lower than the peripheral speed of the downstream roller.
- the installation may also include two support pins for two flat film reels 14 and transverse cutting and welding jaws 18.
- Such an arrangement comprising film reel support pins and transverse cutting and welding jaws are also known in itself in the packaging technique with heat-shrinkable or stretch film and, for this reason, need not be described further.
- the installation comprises a pin 19 supporting a flattened sheath coil 16, means for moving the film sheath, means for moving the film sheath and means for cross section of the film sheath.
- a type of device capable of storing film sheath flattened on a reel in order to move it, open it, cut it transversely, etc. is generally known to those skilled in the art in the so-called hooding techniques.
- the constituent means for producing a holding member in closed loop 12 can be located in a zone for preparing said loop, a zone which is separated from the zones for preparing bed 4 and stacking 7.
- a movable carriage 20 provided with gripping members 21 of the holding member 12 such as the fingers, moved by drive means (not shown) under the dependence control means able on the one hand to transport the retaining member 12 from the preparation area of said loop to the bed of articles 2 and, on the other hand, to thread the loop-shaped strip 12 onto the bed 2.
- constituent means for producing a holding member 12 are situated, on the contrary, close to the zone for preparing the bed of articles 4 or the stacking zone 7.
- the installation according to the invention is such that the overwrapping means and the means for positioning the lateral holding members 12 can be at least partly common and this in the case where the film strip constituting the member holding 12 is wider than the height of articles 1, as already mentioned above.
- FIG. 1 is shown the alternative embodiment in which the holding member 12 has a width which is a fraction of the height of the articles 1, a specific overpack 11 then being provided on the overpacked palletized load.
- the retaining members 12 have a width greater than the height of the articles 1. These retaining members 12 overlap by their projecting part 13 and the palletized load can be devoid of additional overpack 11, the overpack being formed by the combination of the lateral holding members 12 in superposition.
- Figure 3 is shown schematically the alternative embodiment using a heat-shrinkable film sheath with the establishment of the lateral holding member 12 directly on the palletized load being formed.
- This figure shows more precisely the carriage 20 with fingers 21 coming to take the lateral retaining member 12 open in order to move it (arrow A) from below the heat-shrinkable sheath open up to the top of the palletized load being formed. Then, the carriage 20 is moved vertically downwards so that the lateral holding member 12 is placed around the last bed of articles 2 put in place.
- the heating means 17 are then produced in the form of a retraction frame comprising a part 22 forming a frame carried by drive means vertically sliding up or down.
- the carriage 20 comes to take the lateral holding member 12 from below, the fingers 21 being directed upwards.
- Figure 4 shows in more detail this alternative embodiment and illustrates in particular jaws of cross section 23 of the sheath and a lifting table 24 supporting the palletized load in progress so that the bed of articles 2 which has just been deposited on the pallet can be threaded onto the lateral retaining member 12 deployed.
- pressers 25 located laterally, which can be moved horizontally so as to come against the lateral faces of the article bed 2 on which the holding member 12 has just been threaded, may be provided. '' ensure temporary maintenance of the member 12 before it is retracted by the heating means 17. Once the pressers in place, the fingers 21 can be retracted, which is still possible since the holding member 12 is loosely placed around the bed of articles 2. Then it is possible to use the heating means 17 which ensures the heat-shrinking of the holding member 12. This holding member 12 is thus heat-shrunk, the 25 pressers can be discarded.
- Figure 5 schematically shows the layout of a machine using a sheath 16, the representation being only schematic and not of detail.
- the palletized load which is to receive the sheath is placed not vertically below it in line with the open sheath but next to it, the displacement of the deployed lateral holding member 12 being produced by means of the carriage 20 with the gripping member 21.
- Figure 6 shows in more detail the carriage 20 and the members 21 associated with a machine implementing a sheath 16.
- This figure also shows horizontal side plates forming a support 26 constituting horizontal guides for the carriage 20 moved by one or more motors 27.
- the plates 26 can, in turn, be mounted vertically to slide on brackets 28, fixed, by means of endless chains or equivalent.
- Figure 7 is comparable to Figure 4 with the difference that the carriage 20 has its fingers 21 directed not upwards but downwards. This arrangement makes it possible in particular to dispense with a lifting table such as 24.
- FIG. 8 shows in more detail the corresponding device and in particular the arrow B shows the 180 ° pivoting of the carriage 20 which originally has its fingers 21 turned upwards to grasp a deployed lateral holding member 12 coming from the sheath 16 and which subsequently has his fingers 21 turned downwards vertically and above the palletized load being produced.
- FIG. 9 shows an alternative embodiment in which the film strip constituting the lateral holding member 12 is produced from a film reel such as 14, using a carriage 20 and fingers 21 carried by plates such as 26 driven by a motor such as 27 and carried by a bracket such as 28 as has been described in relation to FIG. 6.
- FIG. 10 shows the implementation of the invention in the case where the lateral holding member 12 is produced from a film curtain coming from two film reels 14 with welded transverse edges 15.
- a carriage 20 can be provided with fingers 21, in this case directed upwards.
- this variant can also use pressers such as 25.
- FIG. 11 illustrates this variant in more detail and shows the presence of the heating means 17 in the form of a heat-shrinking frame.
- Figures 12 and 13 show an installation according to the invention and, in more detail, the means of constituting the article bed 2 and gripping means 10 as well as the different location of zones 4 and 7.
- the film used is a stretch film and there are provided fingers 29 forming conformers capable of deforming the film strip from the two reels of film 14 to prevent the drawing force from being absorbed by the articles 1 of the bed 2.
- FIGS. 14 and 15 another variant is shown in which the lateral holding member 12 is produced from a strip of film coming from the two reels 14 placed at the top between the bed preparation zones 4 and stacking 7.
- the lateral holding member 12 is produced from a strip of film coming from the two reels 14 placed at the top between the bed preparation zones 4 and stacking 7.
