Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé de réalisation d'un dispositif d'emballage de produits en vrac, notamment de produits de confiserie et en particulier de chocolats, biscuits ou similaires, ces produits étant disposés individuellement dans des alvéoles dudit dispositif d'emballage, dans lequel ces alvéoles sont définies par des coupelles individuelles fixées de manière amovible sur un support de base de ce dispositif.The present invention relates to a method for producing a device for packaging bulk products, in particular confectionery products and in particular chocolates, cookies or the like, these products being arranged individually in cells of said packaging device, in which these cells are defined by individual cups fixed removably on a base support of this device.

Elle concerne également un dispositif d'emballage réalisé selon ce procédé.It also relates to a packaging device produced according to this method.

Certains produits de confiserie fragiles et délicats tels que par exemple les chocolats, les biscuits, les petits fours, les pâtes de fruits etc., qui sont conditionnés dans des boîtes cartonnées, sont présentés individuellement dans des alvéoles réalisés avec des feuilles thermoformées en matière synthétique ou dans des coupelles indépendantes déposées dans ces boîtes.Certain fragile and delicate confectionery products such as for example chocolates, cookies, petit fours, fruit pastes, etc., which are packaged in cardboard boxes, are presented individually in blisters made of thermoformed sheets of synthetic material. or in independent cups placed in these boxes.

La présentation dans des alvéoles thermoformées permet, dans certains cas, une mise en boîte automatisée au moyen d'un robot de remplissage. Toutefois, ce mode de présentation ne convient pas systématiquement parce qu'il ne répond pas à tous les critères et aux normes en matière de taux de remplissage ou à certains règlements écologiques en ce qui concerne l'utilisation des matières synthétiques.The presentation in thermoformed cells allows, in some cases, an automated canning by means of a filling robot. However, this mode of presentation is not always appropriate because it does not meet all the criteria and standards for filling rates or certain ecological regulations with regard to the use of synthetic materials.

La présentation des produits en coupelles individuelles réalisées en papier plissé implique une mise en place manuelle des produits, ce qui bien entendu constitue un inconvénient majeur entraînant une augmentation sensible de leur coût.The presentation of the products in individual cups made of pleated paper involves manual positioning of the products, which of course constitutes a major drawback resulting in a significant increase in their cost.

Il existe actuellement des procédés de réalisation de dispositifs d'emballage permettant la mise en place automatique de coupelles individuelles. Ces procédés sont notamment décrits dans la demande de brevet anglais GB-A-2 130 546 et dans les deux modèles d'utilité allemands DE-U-92 00 586.1 et DE-U-87 00 015.6. Ces procédés comportent tous une opération de mise en place d'une substance adhésive permettant de coller les coupelles sur le fond d'une boîte. Comme il est important de minimiser le temps nécessaire à la mise en place des coupelles et à leur remplissage, si l'on veut minimiser le coût de production des dispositifs d'emballage, il est important d'utiliser des procédés comportant un minimum d'opération.There are currently methods of producing packaging devices allowing the automatic placement of individual cups. These methods are described in particular in British patent application GB-A-2 130 546 and in the two German utility models DE-U-92 00 586.1 and DE-U-87 00 015.6. These methods all include an operation of placing an adhesive substance allowing the cups to be bonded to the bottom of a box. As it is important to minimize the time necessary for the installation of the cups and their filling, if one wants to minimize the production costs of packaging devices, it is important to use processes with a minimum of operation.

La présente invention se propose de pallier cet inconvénient en mettant en oeuvre un procédé et en réalisant un dispositif d'emballage comportant des coupelles individuelles pour le conditionnement et la présentation des produits en vrac, ces produits pouvant être mis en place automatiquement par un robot approprié.The present invention proposes to overcome this drawback by implementing a method and by producing a packaging device comprising individual cups for the packaging and presentation of bulk products, these products being able to be placed automatically by an appropriate robot. .

Dans ce but, le procédé selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que l'on fixe les coupelles au support de base par un emboutissage réalisant une empreinte en trois dimensions, effectué simultanément sur ces deux éléments.For this purpose, the method according to the invention is characterized in that the cups are fixed to the base support by a stamping producing an impression in three dimensions, carried out simultaneously on these two elements.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré du procédé, on réalise ledit emboutissage au moyen d'un poinçon dont l'extrémité a un profil permettant de réaliser ladite empreinte en trois dimensions et d'une matrice dont l'extrémité a un profil complémentaire à celui du poinçon.According to a preferred embodiment of the method, said stamping is carried out by means of a punch whose end has a profile making it possible to produce said imprint in three dimensions and by a matrix whose end has a profile complementary to that of punch.

On saisit de préférence chaque coupelle par aspiration d'air à travers un alésage réalisé dans le poinçon et relié à une pompe d'aspiration.Each cup is preferably gripped by suction of air through a bore made in the punch and connected to a suction pump.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, ladite empreinte peut avoir la forme d'une crémaillère ou d'un sigle personnalisé.According to a preferred embodiment, said imprint can have the form of a rack or a personalized logo.

Dans ce but également, le dispositif d'emballage selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce que les coupelles individuelles et le support de base sont équipés de moyens de fixation permettant leur liaison de façon amovible, ces moyens comprennent une empreinte en trois dimensions réalisée par emboutissage de la coupelle et du support.For this purpose also, the packaging device according to the invention is characterized in that the individual cups and the base support are equipped with fixing means allowing their connection in a removable manner, these means comprise a three-dimensional impression produced by stamping of the cup and the support.

La présente invention sera mieux comprise en référence à la description d'exemples de mise en oeuvre du procédé et au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • la figure 1 représente une vue schématique en perspective illustrant un dispositif d'emballage selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 représente schématiquement un outil agencé pour mettre en oeuvre le procédé selon l'invention,

  • la figure 7 est une vue en coupe verticale du poinçon de la figure 6 et de la matrice qui y est associée.
The present invention will be better understood with reference to the description of examples of implementation of the method and to the accompanying drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a schematic perspective view illustrating a packaging device according to the invention,
  • FIG. 2 schematically represents a tool designed to implement the method according to the invention,
  • FIGS. 3 to 5 illustrate different embodiments of the means for mechanically fixing the cups to the support,
  • FIG. 6 illustrates an embodiment of a punch for fixing the cups to the support, and
  • Figure 7 is a vertical sectional view of the punch of Figure 6 and the matrix associated therewith.

Les coupelles en papier plissé ont une forme tronconique et sont généralement largement évasées à leur bord supérieur. La juxtaposition de ces coupelles dans une boîte avant la mise en place des produits dans ces coupelles, ne permet pas un remplissage très serré de la boîte à cause de leur forme géométrique. En outre, elles sont très légères et il est quasiment impossible de les positionner à vide de manière précise. Or un tel positionnement est indispensable pour qu'un remplissage automatique soit envisageable.The pleated paper cups have a frustoconical shape and are generally widely flared at their upper edge. The juxtaposition of these cups in a box before the introduction of the products in these cups, does not allow a very tight filling of the box because of their geometric shape. In addition, they are very light and it is almost impossible to precisely position them when empty. However, such positioning is essential for automatic filling to be possible.

Ce problème ne se pose pas lorsque la mise en boîte s'effectue manuellement. En effet, dans ce cas, les produits sont déposés dans les coupelles et les coupelles pleines sont placées dans la boîte et peuvent donc être serrées à volonté, le poids des produits assurant leur maintien en position.This problem does not arise when the canning is done manually. Indeed, in this case, the products are deposited in the cups and the full cups are placed in the box and can therefore be tightened at will, the weight of the products ensuring their maintenance in position.

Pour assurer un positionnement précis des coupelles vides, on a prévu des moyens pour les fixer au fond de la boîte ou sur un support amovible destiné à être placé au fond de cette boîte, ces moyens de fixation devant toutefois permettre au consommateur de détacher ces coupelles sans les déchirer. Le mode de fixation des coupelles consiste à créer une liaison mécanique entre ladite coupelle et le support. Cette liaison mécanique peut être réalisée par des emboutissages profilés réalisés simultanément sur le fond de la coupelle et le support, de manière à réaliser un accrochage mécanique de ces deux éléments. Un tel emboutissage peut être réalisé au moyen d'un outil qui se déplace perpendiculairement par rapport au fond de la coupelle préalablement placée sur le support et qui réalise une empreinte en trois dimensions à la fois dans ce fond et ce support. De cette manière, ces deux éléments sont mécaniquement liés, mais cette liaison est relativement lâche et permet au consommateur de prélever la coupelle. Le profil peut avoir différentes formes qui seront décrites plus en détail ci-dessous.To ensure precise positioning of the empty cups, means have been provided for fixing them to the bottom of the box or on a removable support intended to be placed at the bottom of this box, these fixing means having however to allow the consumer to detach these cups without tearing them apart. The method of fixing the cups consists in creating a mechanical connection between said cup and the support. This mechanical connection can be achieved by profiled stampings made simultaneously on the bottom of the cup and the support, so as to achieve a mechanical coupling of these two elements. Such stamping can be carried out by means of a tool which moves perpendicularly relative to the bottom of the cup previously placed on the support and which makes a three-dimensional imprint both on this bottom and on this support. In this way, these two elements are mechanically linked, but this connection is relatively loose and allows the consumer to take the cup. The profile can have different shapes which will be described in more detail below.

En référence à la figure 1, le dispositif d'emballage 10 se compose d'une boîte cartonnée 11 dans laquelle sont disposées un certain nombre de coupelles 12 destinées à recevoir des articles de confiserie tels que des chocolats, des fondants, des pâtes de fruits, des biscuits etc.. Les coupelles vides sont fixées au moyen d'une liaison amovible au fond de la boîte 11 afin que le consommateur puisse les détacher et les retirer de la boîte avec le produit qu'elles contiennent, sans les déchirer, par une simple traction exercée perpendiculairement par rapport au plan du fond de la boîte.Referring to Figure 1, the packaging device 10 consists of a cardboard box 11 in which are arranged a number of cups 12 intended to receive confectionery items such as chocolates, fondants, fruit pastes , cookies etc. The empty cups are fixed by means of a removable connection to the bottom of the box 11 so that the consumer can detach them and remove them from the box with the product they contain, without tearing them, by a simple pull exerted perpendicular to the plane of the bottom of the box.

A cet effet, la fixation est effectuée par une empreinte 13 à trois dimensions réalisée par un emboutissage simultané du fond 14 de la coupelle et du fond 15 de la boîte. Le fond 15 de la boîte peut être remplacé par un support constitué, par exemple, par une plaque en carton ou en matière synthétique qui est placée au fond de la boîte 11.To this end, the fixing is carried out by a three-dimensional impression 13 produced by a simultaneous stamping of the bottom 14 of the cup and the bottom 15 of the box. The bottom 15 of the box can be replaced by a support constituted, for example, by a cardboard or plastic plate which is placed at the bottom of the box 11.

Cette empreinte 13 a, par exemple, la forme d'une crémaillère et peut être réalisée au moyen d'un outil tel que celui représenté par la figure 2. Cet outil se compose d'un poinçon 20 pouvant être déplacé dans le sens de la double flèche A et qui coopère avec une matrice 21 fixe. Ces deux pièces ont des profils 20a et 21a complémentaires.This imprint 13 has, for example, the shape of a rack and can be produced by means of a tool such as that shown in FIG. 2. This tool consists of a punch 20 which can be moved in the direction of the double arrow A and which cooperates with a fixed matrix 21. These two parts have complementary profiles 20a and 21a.

Une coupelle 22 et un support 23 sont placés entre le poinçon 20 et la matrice 21. Le poinçon est abaissé pour réaliser l'empreinte dans les deux éléments qui sont ainsi fixés l'un à l'autre.A cup 22 and a support 23 are placed between the punch 20 and the matrix 21. The punch is lowered to make the impression in the two elements which are thus fixed to each other.

Les figures 3 à 5 montrent d'autres profils d'empreintes permettant d'assurer la liaison temporaire recherchée entre la coupelle et le support. Le profil de la figure 3 comporte un ensemble de cercles concentriques. Le profil de la figure 4 représente une croix. Le profil de la figure 5 représente la lettre G qui peut par exemple correspondre au sigle d'un confiseur.Figures 3 to 5 show other fingerprint profiles to provide the desired temporary connection between the cup and the support. The profile of Figure 3 includes a set of concentric circles. The profile in Figure 4 shows a cross. The profile in FIG. 5 represents the letter G which can, for example, correspond to the acronym of a confectioner.

Les figures 6 et 7 illustrent un mode de réalisation particulièrement avantageux du dispositif de l'invention. Ce dispositif comporte un poinçon 30 portant un sigle personnalisé 31 agencé pour coopérer avec une matrice 32 ayant un profil complémentaire à celui du poinçon. Ce poinçon comporte un alésage 33 débouchant à ses deux extrémités. Une extrémité de l'alésage est liée à une pompe d'aspiration (non représentée). Le poinçon est manipulé par un robot de sorte que ce poinçon peut être placé au-dessus d'une coupelle. La pompe d'aspiration est mise en route de sorte qu'elle aspire une coupelle. Le poinçon est déplacé de manière à amener la coupelle dans la position voulue, en face de la matrice, puis le poinçon est déplacé verticalement de façon à réaliser l'empreinte en trois dimensions.Figures 6 and 7 illustrate a particularly advantageous embodiment of the device of the invention. This device comprises a punch 30 carrying a personalized acronym 31 arranged to cooperate with a matrix 32 having a profile complementary to that of the punch. This punch has a bore 33 opening at its two ends. One end of the bore is connected to a suction pump (not shown). The punch is manipulated by a robot so that this punch can be placed over a cup. The suction pump is started so that it sucks a cup. The punch is moved so as to bring the cup into the desired position, opposite the die, then the punch is moved vertically so as to produce the impression in three dimensions.

Ce mode de réalisation est particulièrement avantageux puisqu'il permet au moyen d'un seul dispositif, de saisir les coupelles, de les positionner et de les assujettir au fond de la boîte.This embodiment is particularly advantageous since it allows, by means of a single device, to grasp the cups, to position them and to secure them to the bottom of the box.

Le fait de réaliser une fixation mécanique des alvéoles présente un certain nombre d'avantages. La mise en place des alvéoles et leur fixation à la boîte demande une seule opération ce qui permet de gagner du temps par rapport aux procédés conventionnels. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser une matière adhésive, ce qui permet une économie de matière et supprime les problèmes liés au recyclage ou à l'élimination de cette matière. De plus, le procédé selon la présente invention permet d'imprimer un sigle au fond de chaque alvéole, ce qui peut être utilisé à des fins publicitaires ou décoratives.The fact of mechanically fixing the cells has a number of advantages. The establishment of the cells and their attachment to the box requires a single operation which saves time compared to conventional methods. It is not necessary to use an adhesive material, which saves material and eliminates the problems associated with recycling or disposal of this material. In addition, the method according to the present invention makes it possible to print an initials at the bottom of each cell, which can be used for advertising or decorative purposes.

L'invention n'est pas limitée aux formes de réalisation décrites, mais peut s'étendre à différentes variantes évidentes pour l'homme de l'art.The invention is not limited to the embodiments described, but may extend to different variants obvious to those skilled in the art.
