Definitions
- Packaging devices which primarily deal with the packaging of pharmaceutical ampoules and comparable rod-shaped packages are known in various designs. These packs are usually plumbed vertically into a bed made of plastic material such as foam rubber, deep-drawn plastic material such as PVC or the like. inserted and sealed or placed in a carton.
- suction cups To the extent that the insertion, as at today's work speeds, cannot be done by hand, suction cups must be used which require complicated movement and gripping control. In addition, the suction cups and other gripping elements on the gripping surfaces are worn out in a short time and have to be replaced.
- a pick-up wheel with half-round grooves formed on its circumference at the outlet end of a funnel receiving the ampoules is guided transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ampoules and is deposited on a subsequent conveyor. So it must be picked up by a separate element and then given to a conveyor.
- DE-A 22 62 951 shows a device which can be used for packaging ampoules for inserting elongated objects into the wells of a thermoplastic film web from a series of parallel feed channels arranged next to one another and which has only transfer openings provided up to the top side upper perforated plate is guided, which is guided transversely to a lower perforated plate.
- the capsules used there therefore first get into the openings of the upper plate, the longitudinal web parts between the openings of the lower plate forming a support for the capsules until all of the upper plate openings are filled with capsules and a new one in the initial position thereby achieved Insertion process can be started.
- the invention is based on the last-described device and pursues the task of further developing this device in this way. form that ampoules and comparable packs can be packaged gently and at low operating costs at appropriate working speeds.
- the packaging device according to the invention has the following features:
- a feed conveyor is arranged in an upper feed plane, b) has elongated alignment recesses (grooves) arranged in a row. c) The aligning recesses have a larger width than the outer dimensions of the packers to be received and supported by them and are arranged in the feed conveyor transversely to its running direction in such a way that the packs can slide out of their aligning recesses with little friction after lifting their support. d) A packaging conveyor is arranged in a lower packaging level and is provided with mold cavities for receiving the packaging. e) A transfer device for transferring the packs down to the packaging conveyor is arranged between the supply and packaging levels.
- the ampoules or other elongated packs are initially also aligned in parallel, but are otherwise disordered before being taken up into the feed conveyor and are directly aligned by these feed conveyors and are only moved by sliding and rolling processes during the transfer. They are neither exposed to gripping devices nor to other comparable technical means during the packing and transport process.
- the conveying force is mainly due to the gravity of the packs, which weigh only a few grams generated so that only correspondingly small forces come into play in the mostly smooth outer surfaces. Wear can therefore hardly occur even when working at speeds which are significantly increased compared to previous cycle times. Even if this increases the cycle time, the number of ampoules or other packs to be packaged in one cycle can be increased as required.
- the feed conveyor has an endless feed element which is provided with mold cavities which run predominantly transverse to its direction of movement, which are open to at least one side and are shielded from the outside in the package transport area. In this way, especially in the case of directional changes, it is ensured that the packs can leave the feed conveyor exactly from a predetermined point.
- the mold cavities receiving the packs are at least formed in one direction component radially to the circumferential direction of the endless feed belt.
- the feed belt is formed by a belt which has at least one flexible material, such as rubber or rubber-like material, which can be deformed in an outer layer Plastic is high elasticity.
- the packs supplied can be brought into a specific position for the further transport and the delivery and transfer without a significant wear stress by the feed belt itself.
- a particular advantage of the feed belt designed in this way is that it can be guided over two or more deflection rollers as desired and is not tied to any particular orientation in space, for example with its circulation plane at angles from 0 to Lets set 90 degrees to a vertical default level. This plane as a whole can, if necessary, also be adjusted during operation, and the belt can be guided on a curved surface that deviates from a common plane in many ways. If the transverse arrangement of the packs in the feed belt is also preferred, any other arrangement can also be considered.
- a multilayer feed belt with at least one thin tensile-resistant and low-stretch inner layer and at least one thicker, easily deformable outer layer forming the mold cavities has proven to be particularly advantageous.
- the tensile forces causing the transport are almost exclusively taken over by the thin inner layer, the shape of which does not change or changes only slightly during operation, while the real functions are brought about by the design of the easily deformable outer layer, which is basically in one piece on the can create little stretchable inner layer.
- the packs can be brought together or brought together in a row during the falling or sliding process in their common plane or surface transverse to their length.
- a feed belt of the feed conveyor can be arranged at equal intervals of n cavity divisions (t) trigger elements for non-contact triggering a button switch, which consequently first stops and re-engages the feeder.
- FIG. 1 is a view of a device for packaging pharmaceutical drugs according to the invention in the direction of arrow I in FIG. 2 and is partially cut along the line I-I in this figure,
- Fig. 2 is a view of this device according to arrow II seen from above in Fig.l and
- FIG. 3 shows a section through this packaging device along the line III-III in Fig.l.
- a feed conveyor (1) arranged in an upper feed plane A and a packaging conveyor (2) arranged in a lower packaging plane B are connected by a transfer device (3) arranged between the two planes A and B.
- the feed conveyor (1) has an endless feed belt (6) which closes rotating transport wheels (5,5.1) on vertical axes (4).
- the feed belt (6) has vertical U-shaped grooves (7) with a rounded base on its outside, the clear width of which is somewhat larger than the diameter of the ampoules (8) to be accommodated.
- These grooves are provided at graduation intervals t, so that a row of n grooves (7) can accommodate a row of n ampoules (8), which are treated and conveyed at the same time.
- a chain belt (11) is attached to the feed area (5.1) of the feed conveyor (1) on the right in the drawing, which is partially provided with a covering (12) at the top, which forms an insertion sector (13) in which the ampoules (8) emptied from a prepackage are set up with a vertical axis.
- the chain belt (11) can be inclined slightly towards the feed conveyor (1) so that the upright ampoules (8) are concentrated in the direction of the transport wheel (5.1) rotating according to arrow (14).
- a run-up line (15) is attached below the grooves (7) moving from there, which has a protruding flange (16) which shields the ampoules (8) to the side and prevents them from falling out ⁇ len prevented.
- a vertical edge plate (21) is provided opposite the flange (18) and, like the mounting of the feed conveyor (1), is attached to a support plate (22).
- the slide bar (17) closes in the same plane as the run-up bar (15). It can be moved back and forth along this plane according to the double arrow (23), FIGS. 1 and 2, through a double-acting compressed air cylinder (24) transversely to the transport direction of the feed belt. If it is retracted according to FIG. 1, the support is withdrawn from the 6 ampoules of a row of ampoules (8) treated at the same time. They fall into the transfer device (3).
- An electric motor (25) is used to drive the feed conveyor (1) and is also attached to the support plate (22).
- screws (29) are attached between adjacent rows of ampoules (28) in the feed belt (6). 31) is recognized.
- the ampoules (8) fall down into the guide grooves of the transfer device (3), which will be mentioned later, and are passed on until the packaging conveyor (2) is in contact.
- the packaging conveyor (2) shown only in a limited length can be a plate belt or also a plastic belt or the like which only runs in one direction and is previously deep-drawn and thus subdivided or subdividable.
- a blister pack is formed by packaging trays (37) into which trough-shaped cavities (33) open at the top for receiving ampoules (8) are molded.
- These elongated cavities (33) are each made transversely to the band in the number n with a division (tl), so that • they can accommodate an entire row of ampoules (28), which, however, are arranged horizontally in FIG. 2; whose division (tl) is smaller than the division (t) in the feed belt (6).
- the transfer device (3) shown here in one piece is designed as a weakly curved angle plate, in the inner surface of which six, otherwise ten or 2 x 5 guide grooves (34) are formed in the exemplary embodiment, which extend just below the contact surface for the ampoules (8) and close above the upper side ( 35) of the packaging trays (37) resting on the packaging conveyor (2), and that a cavity (33) ends close to the front end (38).
- the speeds of movement of the plastic trays (37) and the ampoules (8) can, but do not have to be measured immediately, so that each ampoule strikes the end of a cavity (33) and, when conveyed further, to the somewhat narrowed edge of this cavity (33 ) is placed.
- a push-in device (41) with a double-acting compressed air cylinder (43) is provided, which is attached to a housing-fixed support plate (42).
- the piston (44) can also be loaded in the lifting direction by a spring or the like.
- At the lower end of its piston rod (45) it carries an impression plate (46) which spans one or more rows of ampoules (28).
- the packaging belt For the pressing-in process, either the packaging belt must be shut down in a similar manner to that of the feed belt.
- the packaging trays (37) are supported on upright strips (49) of the packaging band, which engage between the cavities (33) receiving the ampoules.
- the transfer device (3) consists of an integral shell made of slidable material, in particular hard plastic, into which n guide grooves (34) are molded.
- the division of these grooves changes from their upper to the lower end from (t) to (tl). This compensates for the play in the guide that is provided on the feed conveyor (1) in order to allow it to fall freely, but does not appear on the packaging conveyor, since there should be a forceful adhesion after being pressed in. For some cases, it may also be expedient to enlarge the division and to spread the guide grooves or other guide means apart.
- the feed belt can run around three or more transport wheels (5,5.1) of a polygonal track. Although this path will generally be convex at all points, it can also be locally concave.
- the load on the feed belt is on the inside usually very different from that on the outside. These different These requirements can best be met by a multi-layer design, the inner layer being on the inside and therefore particularly flexible, but also being tensile and not very stretchy, while the outer layer is primarily about carrying and guiding the packs.
- the transport wheels can be mounted in a fixed association on a common rigid carrier, which in turn can be adjusted relative to its carrier.
- the transport wheels themselves can also be provided such that they can be adjusted relative to one another in a variety of ways.
- they can be provided such that they can be pivoted transversely to their axis in order to achieve a limited twisting of the feed belt; there can also be switchovers in fixed, predetermined operating positions, which may automatically and cyclically allow changes to be made to these transport wheels and thus the belt guidance. This, in turn, allows transfer conveying to be carried out in a material-saving manner on a large number of webs with the least outlay on operating resources and at appropriate working speeds.
