Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Einbringen von produktgefüllten Verpackungen, insbesondere von Schlauchbeuteln, in Versandbehälter, wobei die Verpackungen flachliegend von einer Zufuhreinrichtung an ein Übergabeband übergeben und anschließend an einer Übergabestelle hochkant in die Versandbehälter eingesetzt werden, die an der Übergabestelle unterhalb des Übergabebandes vorbeigeführt und dabei jeweils an einer Stirnwand beginnend befüllt werden. Bei den in die Versandbehälter einzubringenden Verpackungen handelt es sich vornehmlich um flexible Verpackungen oder solche Verpackungen, die hochkant nur eine geringe Standfestigkeit aufweisen.The invention relates to a method for introducing product-filled packaging, in particular tubular bags, into shipping containers, the packaging being passed flat from a feeding device to a transfer belt and then inserted upright into the shipping container at a transfer point, which leads past the transfer point below the transfer belt and be filled starting at one end wall. The packaging to be placed in the shipping containers is primarily flexible packaging or packaging that has only a low level of stability when folded up.

Bei dem bekannten gattungsgemäßen Verfahren (EP-A 331 210) werden die Verpackungen über ein bogenförmiges Übergabeband in die Versandbehälter eingebracht, die an der Übergabestelle horizontal zu- und abtransportiert werden. Während des Füllvorganges werden die in den zu befüllenden Versandbehälter bereits eingesetzten Verpackungen durch ein Stützelement gehalten, welches in den Versandbehälter eintaucht. Nach Abschluß des Füllvorganges wird das Stützelement herausgezogen und in einen nachfolgenden leeren Versandbehälter wieder eingesetzt. Auf dem Übergabeband müssen die Verpackungen ferner klemmend fixiert werden. Das Verfahren ist aufwendig.In the known generic method (EP-A 331 210), the packs are introduced into the shipping containers via an arcuate transfer belt, which are transported horizontally in and out at the transfer point. During the filling process, the packaging already inserted in the shipping container to be filled is held by a support element which is immersed in the shipping container. After completing the filling process, the support element is pulled out and reinserted into a subsequent empty shipping container. The packaging must also be clamped onto the transfer belt. The process is complex.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, das eingangs beschriebene Verfahren so weiter auszubilden, daß flexible und wenig standfeste Verpackungen hochkant in die Versandbehälter eingebracht werden können, und zwar ohne daß in die Versandbehälter während des Füllvorganges eintauchende Stützelemente erforderlich sind.The invention has for its object to further develop the method described above so that flexible and less stable packaging can be placed upright in the shipping container, without the need for immersing support elements into the shipping container during the filling process.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe lehrt die Erfindung, daß die Versandbehälter in Transportrichtung nach unten geneigt an der Übergabestelle vorbeigeführt sowie befüllt werden. Durch die Schräglage der Versandbehälter während des Füllvorganges liegt der in den Versandbehälter bereits eingebrachte Stapel aus produktgefüllten Verpackungen (Beutelstapel) an der in Transportrichtung vorderen Stirnwand des Versandbehälters auf und ist an dieser ausreichend abgestützt. Ein Kippen oder Verrutschen des Beutelstapels ist ausgeschlossen. Die produktgefüllten Verpackungen, beispielsweise Schlauchbeutel, Faltschachtelverpackungen, Blister und dergleichen, können ein- oder mehrreihig sowie auch mit seitlicher Überlappung in die Versandbehälter eingebracht werden.To achieve this object, the invention teaches that the shipping containers are inclined in the transport direction down past the transfer point and filled. Due to the inclined position of the shipping container during the filling process, the stack of product-filled packaging (bag stack) already placed in the shipping container rests against the front end wall of the shipping container in the direction of transport and is adequately supported on it. The stack of bags cannot tip or slip. The product-filled packaging, for example tubular bags, folding box packaging, blisters and the like, can be introduced into the shipping container in one or more rows, and also with lateral overlap.

Für die weitere Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens bestehen verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Eine Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht vor, daß auf dem Übergabeband ein Abstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Verpackungen eingestellt wird, der ausreichend bemessen ist, um den zu befüllenden Versandbehälter für das Einbringen der jeweils nachfolgenden Verpackung zu positionieren. Das Übergabeband dient gleichsam einer Synchronisierung zwischen dem Transport der von der Zuführeinrichtung herangeführten Verpakkungen einerseits und dem Zu- und Abtransport der Versandbehälter andererseits. Die Versandbehälter können an der Übergabestelle taktweise mit an den Füllvorgang angepaßtem Takt oder auch kontinuierlich weiterbewegt werden. Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform der Erfindung werden auf dem Übergabeband Verpackungsgruppen aus geschuppt aufeinanderliegenden Verpackungen gebildet, die jeweils eine an die Größe der Versandbehälter angepaßte Anzahl von Verpackungen umfassen, Die Verpackungen werden geschuppt aufeinanderliegend in den zugeordneten Versandbehälter eingefächert. Während des Einfächerns werden die Versandbehälter an der Übergabestelle kontinuierlich, mit an den Übergabevorgang angepaßter Geschwindigkeit kontinuierlich weiterbewegt.There are various possibilities for the further configuration of the method according to the invention. One embodiment of the invention provides that a distance between successive packs is set on the transfer belt, which is sufficiently dimensioned to position the shipping container to be filled for the introduction of the subsequent pack. The transfer belt serves, as it were, a synchronization between the transport of the packaging brought up by the feed device on the one hand and the transport of the shipping containers to and from the other. The shipping containers can be moved at the transfer point in cycles with a cycle adapted to the filling process or else continuously. According to another embodiment of the invention, packaging groups are formed on the transfer belt from shingled packs, each of which comprises a number of packs adapted to the size of the shipping containers. The packs are shingled one on top of the other in the assigned shipping container. During the fanning-in, the shipping containers are continuously moved on at the transfer point, at a speed adapted to the transfer process.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung des beschriebenen Verfahrens mit einer Transporteinrichtung für den Zu- und Abtransport von Versandbehältern, mit einer Zuführeinrichtung für produktgefüllte Verpackungen und mit einem an die Zuführeinrichtung anschließenden Übergabeband, welches die flach aufliegenden Verpackungen in die an einer Übergabestelle unterhalb des Übergabebandes vorbeigeführten Versandbehälter hochkant einbringt, wobei die Transporteinrichtung ein die Versandbehälter mitführendes Transportband aufweist, welches im Bereich der Übergabestelle mit einem Gefälle in Transportrichtung geneigt angeordnet ist. Die Neigung des Transportbandes ist vorzugsweise betriebsmäßig einstell- und veränderbar. Zweckmäßigerweise ist auch das Übergabeband in Förderrichtung mit Gefälle einstellbar. Als Einstellbereich für die Neigung des Übergabebandes kommt ein Winkelbereich von 0 bis 45° in Betracht. Die Auflageflächen des Transportbandes und des Übergabebandes schließen in einem stumpfen Winkel aneinander an. Ein kleiner stumpfer Winkel zwischen Transportband und Übergabeband, vorzugsweise ein Winkel zwischen 90 und 130°, ist für die Übergabe der Verpackungen vorteilhaft. Das Übergabeband kann mit einer elektronischen Steuerung ausgerüstet sein, welche durch Steuerung der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit den Abstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Verpackungen oder den Abstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Verpackungsgruppen aus geschuppt abgelegter Verpackungen regelt. Es versteht sich, daß das Transportband ebenfalls einen Antrieb aufweist, der zweckmäßigerweise elektronisch regelbar ist.The invention further relates to a device for carrying out the described method with a transport device for the supply and removal of shipping containers, with a feed device for product-filled packaging and with a transfer belt adjoining the feed device, which conveys the flat-lying packagings into the at a transfer point below introduces the shipping container that is passed by the transfer belt upright, the transport device having a transport belt carrying the shipping container, which is arranged inclined in the region of the transfer point with a gradient in the transport direction. The inclination of the conveyor belt is preferably operationally adjustable and changeable. The transfer belt can also be adjusted with a gradient in the conveying direction. An angle range of 0 to 45 ° can be considered as the setting range for the inclination of the transfer belt. The contact surfaces of the conveyor belt and the transfer belt adjoin each other at an obtuse angle. A small obtuse angle between the conveyor belt and the transfer belt, preferably an angle between 90 and 130 °, is advantageous for the transfer of the packaging. The transfer belt can be equipped with an electronic control which regulates the distance between successive packs or the distance between successive pack groups of flaked packs by controlling the feed rate. It goes without saying that the conveyor belt also has a drive which is expediently electronically controllable.

a further embodiment of the device shown in Fig. 1.

Zum grundsätzlichen Aufbau der Vorrichtung gehören eine Transporteinrichtung 1 für den Zu- und Abtransport der Versandbehälter 2, eine Zuführeinrichtung 3 für die abzupackenden, mit einem Produkt gefüllten Beutel 4 und mit einem an die Zuführeinrichtung 3 anschließenden Übergabeband 5. Die Beutel 4 werden flachliegend von der Zuführeinrichtung 3 an das Übergabeband 5 übergeben und anschließend an einer Übergabestelle 6 hochkant in die Versandbehälter 2 eingesetzt. Die Versandbehälter 2 werden an der Übergabestelle 6 unterhalb des Übergabebandes 5 vorbeigeführt und dabei jeweils an einer Stirnwand 7 beginnend befüllt. Dabei können die Versandbehälter 2 taktweise mit an den Füllvorgang angepaßtem Takt oder auch kontinuierlich mit an den Füllvorgang angepaßter Transportgeschwindigkeit an der Übergabestelle 6 weiterbewegt werden.The basic structure of the device includes a transport device 1 for the delivery and removal of the shipping container 2, a feed device 3 for the bags 4 to be packed, filled with a product 4 and with a transfer belt 5 connected to the feed device 3. The bags 4 are lying flat from the Transfer the feed device 3 to the transfer belt 5 and then insert it upright into the shipping container 2 at a transfer point 6. The shipping containers 2 are guided past the transfer point 6 below the transfer belt 5 and in each case are filled beginning at an end wall 7. The shipping containers 2 can be moved at the transfer point 6 in cycles with a cycle adapted to the filling process or continuously with a transport speed adapted to the filling process.

Den Figuren entnimmt man, daß die Transporteinrichtung 1 ein die Versandbehälter 2 mitführendes Transportband 8 aufweist, welches im Bereich der Übergabestelle 6 mit einem Gefälle in Transportrichtung geneigt angeordnet ist. Der Bogenpfeil deutet an, daß die Neigung des Transportbandes 8 betriebsmäßig einstell- und veränderbar ist. Aufgrund der Schräglage des Versandbehälters 2 an der Übergabestelle 6 liegt der bereits eingebrachte Beutelstapel 9 an der vorderen Stirnwand 7 des Versandbehälters 2 auf und ist dadurch jederzeit sicher abgestützt. Die Beutel können nicht kippen oder verrutschen. Das Transportband 8 kann als Vakuumband ausgebildet sein oder Anschlag- bzw. Mitnehmerelemente für die Versandbehälter aufweisen. Das Übergabeband 5 ist in Förderrichtung ebenfalls mit Gefälle einstellbar, und zwar vorzugsweise in einem Winkelbereich von 0 bis 45°. Übergabe- und Transportband 5, 8 sind so zueinander ausgerichtet, daß die Auflageflächen beider Bänder 5, 8 einen leicht stumpfen Winkel α, vorzugsweise einen Winkel α zwischen 90 und 130°, einschließen.It can be seen from the figures that the transport device 1 has a transport belt 8 which carries the shipping container 2 and which is arranged inclined in the region of the transfer point 6 with a gradient in the transport direction. The bow arrow indicates that the inclination of the conveyor belt 8 is operationally adjustable and changeable. Due to the inclined position of the shipping container 2 at the transfer point 6, the already inserted stack of bags 9 rests on the front end wall 7 of the shipping container 2 and is therefore securely supported at all times. The bags cannot tip or slip. The conveyor belt 8 can be designed as a vacuum belt or stop or driver elements for the Have shipping containers. The transfer belt 5 can also be adjusted with a slope in the conveying direction, preferably in an angular range from 0 to 45 °. Transfer and conveyor belt 5, 8 are aligned with each other so that the bearing surfaces of both belts 5, 8 include a slightly obtuse angle α, preferably an angle α between 90 and 130 °.

Bei der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung wird auf dem Übergabeband 5 ein Abstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Verpackungen eingestellt, der ausreichend bemessen ist, um den zu befüllenden Versandbehälter 2 für das Einbringen der jeweils nachfolgenden Verpackung zu positionieren. Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Übergabeband 5 mit einer elektronischen Steuerung (nicht dargestellt) ausgerüstet, welche durch Steuerung der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit den Abstand zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Verpackungen regelt.In the embodiment of the device according to the invention shown in FIG. 1, a distance between successive packs is set on the transfer belt 5, which distance is dimensioned sufficiently to position the shipping container 2 to be filled for the introduction of the respective subsequent pack. The transfer belt 5 is expediently equipped with an electronic control (not shown) which regulates the distance between successive packs by controlling the feed rate.

Bei der Ausführungsform gemäß Fig. 2 werden auf dem Übergabeband 5 Verpackungsgruppen 10 aus geschuppt aufeinanderliegenden Beuteln 4 gebildet, die jeweils eine an die Größe der Versandbehälter 2 angepaßte Anzahl von Beuteln 4 umfassen. Die Beutel 4 werden geschuppt aufeinanderliegend in den zugeordneten Versandbehälter 2 eingefächert. Dabei wird das Transportband 8 kontinuierlich mit an den Übergabevorgang angepaßter Geschwindigkeit in Transportrichtung bewegt.In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, packaging groups 10 are formed on the transfer belt 5 from shingled bags 4, each of which comprises a number of bags 4 adapted to the size of the shipping container 2. The bags 4 are shingled one on top of the other in the assigned shipping container 2. The conveyor belt 8 is continuously moved in the transport direction at a speed adapted to the transfer process.
