Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to improve a packaging machine of the type mentioned in such a way that it can both unpack articles from containers and also pack articles into containers with only little construction effort and space requirements.
  • a solution to the problem can be achieved in that an empty container for packing articles and then, for example, a container filled with empties for unpacking the packing machine are alternately fed in a line on the container conveyor.
  • groups of articles can be packaged in accordance with the division dimension, depending on the position, synchronized with the circulating speed of the packing heads essentially rotating in a horizontal plane, and at the same time articles removed from every second of the incoming bundles of of the machine.
  • the grouping of the articles to be packaged on the article conveyor must be carried out in the area in front of the packing machine by means of a suitable grouping device in such a way that a group of articles to be packaged arrive at the right moment at only every second machine division.
  • a higher packing and unpacking performance can be achieved with the same circulating speed and the same number of packing heads if a separate conveyor device is provided for the items to be packed and unpacked as well as the empty containers and the containers coming in with the items to be unpacked.
  • the packaging machine shown schematically in FIG. 1 has a total of five packing heads 1, which have the same spacing from one another and are continuously moved in an orbit by a drive element rotating in a horizontal plane.
  • the drive element is designed as a traction means 15 (chain or steel cable) which is guided over two spaced drive wheels 17 and to which vertical guide rods 16 are fastened.
  • a packing head 1 is guided along a guide rod 16 so that it can be moved up and down perpendicularly to the circumferential plane of the traction means 15.
  • a rotation lock not shown, prevents the packing head from rotating around the guide rod 16.
  • control cam 11 Arranged along the orbit of the traction means 15 is a control cam 11 which is held in a stationary manner and whose contour shape determines the up and down movement of a packing head 1 during a complete revolution, with each packing head 1 having one Cam roller 12 resting on the control cam 11 is assigned.
  • two traction means 15 running parallel to one another at a distance are provided, each with a pair of associated drive wheels 17, the vertical guide rods 16 being fastened to the traction means 15 at both ends.
  • the drive wheels 17 are attached in pairs to two vertical drive columns 18 so that they cannot rotate.
  • a motor (not shown) is assigned to at least one of the two drive columns 18.
  • each of the packing heads 1 has first and second groups 13 and 14 of gripper elements 2, which can preferably be controlled independently of one another.
  • the first group of gripping elements 2 rotating on the inner track works as a packer and the second group 14 of gripping elements 2 guided on the outer track works as an unpacker.
  • Each of these two groups 13 and 14 of gripping elements 2 must be assigned an article conveyor along one longitudinal side of the orbit of the packing head 1 and an oppositely driven container conveyor at the same distance on the opposite side of the orbit.
  • the arrangement of the two container conveyors 7 and 8 on one side of the orbit and the arrangement of the two article conveyors 9 and 10 on the opposite side is advantageous.
  • Both the container conveyors 7 and 8 and the article conveyors 9 and 10 can each have a common conveying level have.
  • a common, wide article conveyor could be provided for both the items to be packed and the unpacked items, and a common, two-track item conveyor for the empty totes and the items loaded with items to be unpacked.
  • the second group 14 of gripping elements 2 also has the same height offset H with respect to the first group 13.
  • the outer second group 14 has to avoid collisions at the crossing point of the orbit of gripping elements 2 with the internal article conveyor 9, no additional lifting of the packing head 1 is necessary. If, in addition, as in the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2, the two container conveyors 7 and 8 are at least below the conveying level of the respectively assigned article conveyors 9 and 10 by the height of the containers 3 and 4 to be processed, then only the one for inserting and removing the container 3 and 4 unavoidable stroke are carried out by the packing head 1, while on the side of the article conveyors 9 and 10 only a very slight stroke movement is necessary for parking or lifting off the conveyor belt.
  • a small maximum stroke of a packing head 1 during its entire Circulation ensures low loads for the packaging machine and the articles and also allows a compact, ie short design.
  • the packing head with its gripping elements 2 is lowered onto the two bottle crates 3 and 4, filled and closed bottles 5 hanging in the empty box 3 hanging on the inner first group 13 of gripping elements 2 are lowered and, when working position II is reached, the gripping elements 2 of the first group 13 are transferred from the gripping position to release the bottles 5 into the grip release position.
  • the empty bottles 6 are lowered Gripping elements 2 of the second group 14 are transferred from the gripping position to the gripping position for gripping the empty bottles 4.
  • the empty bottles 6 are lifted upwards out of the box 4 by the packing head 1 and placed on the empty bottle conveyor 10.
  • the crate 3 filled with filled bottles 5 runs straight ahead in the direction of a palletizing machine and the now empty crate 4 in the direction of the crate washing machine.
  • the gripping elements 2 of the first group 13 are simultaneously lowered onto a group of filled bottles 5, which are fed to the packaging machine in the correct direction by a full bottle conveyor 9 in the conveying direction D.
  • the bottle groups are formed in a manner known per se by a grouping device (not shown) in the area in front of the packaging machine.
  • the gripping elements 2 are reversed, the gripping elements of the first group for gripping the filled bottles 5 from the gripping position to the gripping position and the gripping elements of the second group 14 for releasing the empty bottles from the grip position into the grip release position at about the same time. Then the packing head 1 is lifted slightly to lift the gripping elements from the mouth of the bottles while the empty bottles 6 are removed in the conveying direction B by the empty bottle conveyor 10 in the direction of a bottle cleaning machine.
  • both the two bottle crate conveyors 7, 8 and bottle conveyors 9, 10 are driven at a speed synchronized with the packing heads 1. Due to the essentially adjacent working positions I-IV, the packaging machine can advantageously be kept very short and is therefore also suitable for an embodiment similar to the type from DE-OS 36 20 717.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 A particularly advantageous embodiment of a packaging machine is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, wherein the actual packaging machine can basically have the same structure as the machine described above and shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the decisive difference lies in the arrangement of the crate and bottle conveyor belts.
  • the cooperating bottle and crate conveyor belts are not arranged next to one another but aligned one above the other, the bottle belts 9 'and 10' ending approximately at the same height with respect to their longitudinal extent in the peripheral area of the packing heads 1.
  • the two box conveyor belts 7 'and 8' are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the packaging machine and are driven in opposite directions.
  • bottle conveyor belts 9 ', 10' This applies in the same way to the two bottle conveyor belts 9 ', 10', but these are each driven in the same direction to the associated bottle crate conveyor belt.
  • the height distance between a bottle crate conveyor 7 ', 8' and its associated, above arranged bottle conveyor 9 ', 10' is at least so large that a bottle crate easily below Bottle conveyor can be carried out.
  • each packing head 1 requires only one group of gripping elements 2 for both packing and unpacking, since a packing head 1 does both packing and unpacking during a complete cycle Unpacking.
  • Bottles 5 are fed to the packing machine in groups D, for example filled and closed, in the conveying direction D by the bottle conveyor 9 ', while at the same time empty boxes 3 are also conveyed to the packing machine in synchronized position by the box conveyor 7'.
  • the packing head 1 with its gripping elements 2 is lowered onto the bottles 5, the gripping elements 2 then being transferred from the gripping position to the gripping position at the height of the working position I.
  • the packing head 1 is raised slightly to lift the bottles off the conveyor belt and, in the further course, is lowered during the forward movement relative to the empty box 3 carried underneath until the gripping elements 2 release the bottles at the working position II.
  • the packing head 1 is raised again a little, swiveled by 180 degrees to the box conveyor 8 'running at the same height opposite it, in order to turn it back onto the bottle crates 4 with empty bottles 6 tapering in position in the conveying direction A.
  • the empty bottles 6 in the box 4 are gripped by the gripping elements 2 and subsequently lifted out by lifting the packing head 1 and placed on the empty bottle belt 10 'before reaching the working position IV, which is at the same height as the parallel bottle conveyor belt 9 'is located.
  • the empty bottles 6 are released by the gripping elements 2.
  • the packing head 1 is again raised slightly by the control cam 11 to release the empty bottles 6 so that they can be removed from the packing machine in the direction of conveyance B.
  • the main advantage of this design is the small overall width and the very good accessibility to the bottles and boxes for the operating personnel in the area of the orbit of the packing heads 1.
