Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for the controlled filling of a transport container with piece goods, in particular for introducing fresh sausages into a transport container, which is arranged vertically above a conveying means feeding the piece goods and consists of two controlled adjustable shells.
  • GB-A-20 17 035 discloses a device of the type mentioned at the outset by means of which packaged articles can be transferred from a conveyor belt into boxes which can be adjusted perpendicularly thereto, but the transport containers are only for short-term storage of the articles on the side are introduced in their shells. With the help of a complex centering and clamping device, in which the edges of the previously positioned packaging are clamped, the articles are then introduced into the boxes arranged vertically below them after the transport containers have been opened. This device is not suitable for the controlled filling of a transport container, in particular with fish sausages.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to create a device by means of which it is possible to fill a transport container in a controlled manner with piece goods, in particular the fresh sausages portioned and twisted in a sausage filling machine are to be made mechanically and without them being touched by people must be able to be placed in one or more layers in transport containers in order to be fed to the packaging machine by means of these.
  • the construction effort required for this should be kept low, but above all it should be achieved that the operating costs are reduced to a considerable extent by reducing the personnel compared to the previously practiced procedure. Furthermore, an adjustment to different products should be possible without difficulty.
  • the device for the controlled filling of a transport container with piece goods in particular for introducing fresh sausages into a transport container, is the piece goods vertically above one feeding conveying means is arranged and consists of two controlled adjustable shells, characterized in that below the conveying means a through this in the direction of the transport container and insertable into this lifting member is provided, which is operatively connected to an actuator interacting with the shells of the transport container by means of the one or both shells of the transport container are inevitably adjustable depending on the lifting movements of the lifting member.
  • the actuating member being designed as a cross strut can be, which is pivotally connected to the levers by means of bolts guided into elongated holes and a push bolt which is displaceable against the force of a spring is provided for adjusting the actuating member.
  • a control disk can be provided in a simple embodiment as an actuator, which is in drive connection with a drive motor of the lifting element and with the shells directly or via intermediate elements.
  • the control disk can be in direct connection with the drive motor of the lifting member and via a linkage as intermediate links with a tappet acting on the pressure pin of the transport container, but it is also possible to connect the control disk via a toothed or belt drive to the drive motor of the lifting member and via one to be vertically connected to the actuator of the transport container by these adjustable slides.
  • control curve of the control disk should have two control sections which merge into one another and are arranged at different diameters and run in such a way that in one area the shells of the transport container for introducing the piece goods are pivoted out laterally and in the other area are locked in the vertical position.
  • a preferably pneumatically operable servo device acting on the actuating member thereof which can be controlled as a function of the lifting movements of the lifting member, can be provided according to a different embodiment.
  • crank drive which can preferably be driven by a geared motor, the crank pin of which is drivingly connected to the lifting member via a vertically displaceable slide.
  • the shells of the transport container can also be provided with two or more inwardly projecting support beads or the like.
  • a device designed according to the invention for filling a transport container, it is possible in a machine manner, in particular to feed the fresh sausages portioned and twisted in a sausage filling machine to a packaging machine without having to take the sausages in hand. This ensures continuous operation with little operator effort and gentle treatment of the sausages.
  • a further advantage is that the filling device, by means of which the sausages can also be brought into a shape suitable for packaging in one or more layers, has a high output and can be adjusted to different products, a high degree of flexibility and a predictable capacity are therefore provided. And since the sausages are not touched by people during transfer and therefore no manual work is necessary, hygienic handling is also guaranteed.
  • the proposed arrangement makes it possible to further automate the sausage production.
  • the device shown in Figures 1 and 2 and each designated 1 serves for the controlled filling of a transport container 11 with piece goods, for example with fresh sausages 10, which are delivered on a conveyor 2 and by means of the transport container 11 and a transport disc 5 to a packaging machine, not shown are.
  • the sausages 10 are accumulated on the conveyor 2 provided with a stop 4 and composed of individual belt sections 3, 3 ', 3''and vertically by a lifting member 31 which passes through the belt sections 3, 3' and 3 '' inserted above the conveyor 2 arranged transport container 11.
  • the transport container is coupled to the continuously rotating transport disc 5 and transported to the packaging machine.
  • the transport containers 11 each consist, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 3 and 4, of two shells 12 and 13 which are U-shaped in cross section and which are articulated at a lateral distance from one another on a support 14 formed from two rails 15 and 16. This is done using levers 17, which are held pivotably by means of pivot pins 21 on bearing pieces 19 which are fastened to the rail 15 by screws 20.
  • the shells 12 and 13 engage in slots 17 'of the lever 17 and are firmly connected to them by means of screws 18.
  • the levers 17 When the levers 17 are pivoted, the shells 12, 13 are thus pivoted outwards, as is shown in broken lines in the right half of FIG. 3, and the transport container 11 is opened.
  • an actuator in the form of a cross strut 22 is provided, which is articulated to the free ends of the levers 17 by means of bolts 24 guided in elongated holes 23.
  • a drive motor 32 which is followed by a gear 33, and a crank mechanism 34 are provided, the crank pin 34 'of which is in a a rail 36 slidably engages slide 35.
  • the crank drive 34 are converted into axial adjustment movements of a push rod 38, which is attached to the slide 36 and is displaceably guided in a bearing 39.
  • the guide rail 36 is in this case attached to a holder 37 which is welded to a support frame 40 of the device 1.
  • an actuator 41 in the form of a control disk 42 equipped with a control cam 54 is arranged on an output shaft 43 of the transmission 33 acts.
  • the linkage is formed by levers 44, 47 and 49, which are connected to one another via articulated connections 48 and 51.
  • the levers 44 and 49 are pivotally mounted in bearings 45 and 50.
  • An adjustment movement of a pin 46, which engages in the control cam 54 of the control disk 42 and is attached to the lever 44, is thus transmitted to a bolt 53 at the end of the lever 49, which is displaceably guided in a bearing 52 and acts on the tappet 28.
  • the control curve 54 of the control disk 42 has, as can be seen in FIG. 5, two control sections 55 and 56 which are merged into one another and have different diameters and run in such a way that the shells 12 and 13 of the transport container 11 are swung out sideways in one area, in order to be able to insert the lifting member 31, on which sausages 10 rest, into the transport container 11. In the other area, however, the shells 12 and 13, which are equipped with support beads 61, are locked in a vertical position. And since the lifting member 31 several times in a row in the transport container 11, before it is coupled to the transport disc 5, can be inserted, the sausages 10 can thus be stacked in several layers in the transport container 11 in accordance with the packaging.
  • the actuator 41 can also be arranged on a shaft 57 in the region of the transport container 11, which is drivingly connected to the drive motor 32 via a belt drive 57 '.
  • a pin 59 which is attached to a slide 58, engages in the control cam 54 of the control disk 42.
  • the carriage 58 is in turn guided in a rail 60 fastened to the support frame 40 and is in drive connection with the cross strut 22 of the transport container 11.
  • the rotary movements of the control disk 42 which take place as a function of the adjustment movements of the lifting member 31, are thus converted into axial adjustment movements and transmitted to the cross strut 22, by means of which the levers 17 are actuated.
  • the sausages 10 delivered on the conveyor 2 are dammed up at the stop 4 and, controlled by the lifting member 31, are introduced into the transport container 11 in one or more layers.
  • its shells 12 and 13 are opened and closed depending on the adjustment movements of the lifting member 31 with the aid of the actuator 41, so that the sausages 10 are placed on the support beads 61 during the return movement of the lifting member 31.
  • the transport container 11 After the transport container 11 has been filled, it is coupled to the transport disc 5 and transported to a packaging machine in which the sausages 10 delivered in the correct position are packed.
