Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for feeding packing inserts, such as brochures, instruction leaflets or the like, to packaged goods guided in a packaged goods chain of a packing machine and formed by objects, such as tubes, bottles, stacks of blister packs or the like, which together with the packing inserts in packing containers, in particular folding boxes, which are guided in a packaging container chain of the packaging machine, with a packaging insert conveyor, which transports the packaging inserts folded into a strip between two endless conveyor belts, which lie alongside one another along their transport route, to a discharge opening at which the conveyor belts arrive Pulleys are deflected in mutually opposite directions, and with an endlessly rotating chain of clamping pliers, each with one of the packing insert strips at the end of the strip grabbing and feeding it to the packaged goods chain, which run when the packing insert strips are taken over in a substantially vertical takeover plane, the packing insert strips taking over with their Strip surface are also aligned parallel to the transfer plane and their length is substantially transverse to the direction of the clamps.
  • packing inserts such as brochure
  • the clamping tongs take over the packing insert strips directly from the packing insert conveyor at its discharge opening.
  • the conveyor belts run in front of and in the discharge opening within the takeover level, the transport speed of the conveyor belts being somewhat greater than that of the clamping tongs, so that the packing insert strips are inserted from behind into the clamping tongs in the transport direction, which accordingly have a pliers mouth with a rearward opening .
  • the takeover technology requires very precise coordination between the conveyor speeds of the conveyor belts and the chain of clamps and between the distances with which the package inserts and the clamps follow one another in the takeover area.
  • the necessity to let the conveyor belts run in front of and at the delivery mouth in the takeover level has a constructive disadvantageous effect on the length and guidance of the transport route formed by the conveyor belts.
  • the discharge mouth forming between them Deflection pulleys arranged on both sides of the transfer level.
  • the take-over level must therefore have a distance of at least the diameter of the deflecting roller lying on this side of the take-over level compared to the level in which the packing inserts on the packaged goods chain are inserted into the packing containers, which is associated with considerable constructive effort with regard to the course of the clamping pliers chain is.
  • the invention has for its object to improve the takeover of the package inserts from the conveyor belts in the clamping tongs in terms of operational safety in a device of the type mentioned and to simplify the design effort.
  • a collecting pocket is provided for each one of the package insert strips leaving the delivery mouth of the package insert conveyor, which keeps the package insert strip aligned in the position specified for the takeover by the clamping tongs and from which the package insert strip in the direction of its length with at least the strip end to be gripped by the clamping pliers protrudes into the path of the clamping pliers, which receive the strip end with the opening of the pliers mouth facing forward in its running direction, that the collecting pocket for the exit of the packing insert strip seized by the clamping pliers is open in the running direction of the clamping pliers, and that above this pocket opening is the delivery mouth of the package insert conveyor, the deflection rollers of its conveyor belts being arranged on the same side of the take-over level and one of them passing the by the clamping tongs hardships Package insert strips allow clearance.
  • the packing insert strips are placed in the collecting bag provided according to the invention by the packing insert conveyor and then removed from the collecting bag by the clamping tongs.
  • the packing insert conveyor As a result, there is a time margin between depositing and removing that is able to compensate for differences in the mutual timing of the package insert conveyor and the clamp chain.
  • the rotational speeds of the transport change and the clamp chain no longer need to be matched to one another. It is only necessary that the collecting bag is re-equipped in good time with a packing insert strip from the delivery mouth of the packing insert conveyor before each clamping forceps passes by.
  • the deflection rollers of the conveyor belts forming the delivery mouth are on the same side of the take-over level, there does not have to be a gap between the take-over level and the level in which the package insert strips are guided between the packaged goods chain and the pack container chain for insertion into the pack containers . Both levels can coincide, which greatly simplifies the guidance of the conveyor belts and the chain of clamps.
  • the collecting bag is loaded with the packing insert strips from above from the discharge mouth. This offers the possibility of significantly shortening and simplifying the guidance of the conveyor belts between the folder for the packing inserts and the collecting bag and, moreover, to arrange the folder with the packing insert magazine ergonomically advantageously on the packaging machine, so that the magazine is simple and easily accessible.
  • the collecting pocket is formed between two pocket walls connected at the lower edge by a pocket bottom, of which the front pocket wall lies opposite the dispensing mouth in the take-over plane and the rear pocket wall adjoins the dispensing mouth with its upper pocket edge.
  • the front pocket wall extends with its upper edge to the height of the run of the clamp chain, which runs parallel to the packaged goods conveyor, so that the front pocket wall can also guide the packing insert strips when they have already been removed from the catch pocket by the clamps and from the lying in the upright orientation in front of the packaged goods is redirected.
  • a very simple and reliable loading of the collecting bag results from the fact that the conveyor belts run obliquely in front of and in the discharge mouth from top to bottom at an acute angle with respect to the transfer plane. Then the packing insert strips at the transition from the dispensing mouth into the collecting bag no longer need to change their orientation to any significant extent and do not experience any significant bending.
  • the deflection rollers for the conveyor belts with axes parallel to the transfer plane and to the bag bottom are arranged one above the other in such a way that their common tangential plane lying on the side of the collecting bag runs parallel to the transfer plane and at a distance from the front bag wall that enables the passage of the package insert strips.
  • the lower guide roller with the conveyor belt guided by it engages through a cut-out opening in the rear pocket wall into the collecting pocket, the upper edge of the rear pocket wall is located below the part of the conveyor belt that runs onto the deflection roller.
  • the packing insert strip can also lie in the collecting bag against the conveyor belt running around the deflection roller, which can generate a frictional force on the packing insert strip, which contributes to reliably bringing the packing insert strip in the collecting bag into the takeover position and in it until it is removed by the clamping pliers to back up.
  • the rear pocket wall is expediently inclined at an acute angle with respect to the take-over plane, so that the collecting pocket widens in the direction of the upper edge of the rear pocket wall, this angle being smaller than the angle formed by the conveyor belts in the delivery mouth with the take-over plane.
  • a packing insert stopper next to the conveyor belts shortly before the delivery mouth which is adjustable in the way of the packing insert strips projecting laterally between the conveyor belts and then the packing insert strips aligning stops and temporarily stopping their further transport.
  • the device shown in the drawing serves for feeding packing inserts in the form of brochures to a packaged goods chain of a packing machine, the packaged goods chain only indicated in FIG. 1 at 1 having receptacles for objects to be packed, such as tubes, bottles, stacks of blister packs or the like, which are also not shown.
  • the packaged goods are inserted together with the packing inserts into packing containers, in particular folding boxes, which are guided in a packing container chain of the packing machine, which is also not shown in the drawing.
  • the package inserts folded into strips 6 in the folder 5 are between two endless Conveyor belts 7, 7 ', which run alongside one another along their transport path, are transported to a discharge opening 8, at which the conveyor belts 7', 7 '' on deflection rollers 9 ', 9''are deflected in mutually opposite directions, so that the two deflection rollers 9 ', 9''with the conveyor belts 7', 7 '' deflected on them form between them the delivery mouth 8 from which the packing insert strips 6 emerge.
  • a pair of the conveyor belts 7 ', 7'' is located on both sides of this boom 11.
  • the strips 6 are placed in the folder 5 between the deflection rollers 10'.
  • clamping pliers 2 run with the clamping pliers chain 3 and past opening cams 12 which are fixed along the chain guide and on which a pliers arm 13 opening the clamping pliers runs with a roller 14.
  • Each clamping pliers 2 consists of a pliers plate 15 forming a support for the packing insert strip 6 and the pliers arm 13 that can be pivoted about an axis 16.
  • the forceps arm 13 13 carries in the area of the forceps plate 15 a clamping bracket 17, between which and the forceps plate 15 the insert strip 6 is clamped when the clamping forceps 2 is closed.
  • the clamping bracket 17 In the open state, the clamping bracket 17 is lifted off the pliers plate 15 and, together with the latter, forms an open pliers mouth which enables the insertion of the package insert strip 6 and which is directed forward with its opening in the chain running direction (arrow 18).
  • the package insert strips 6 are 60 at one end of the strip gripped by the clamping tongs 2 and fed to the packaged goods chain, the take-over of the packing insert strips 2 by the clamping tongs 6 taking place in an upward-running part of the clamping pliers chain 3 and in the further course of the chain the clamping tongs 2 and the packing insert strips 6 by 90 ° in the direction of the one entered in FIG. 3 Arrow 18 'are redirected in front of the packaged goods chain.
  • the clamping pliers 2 run in an essentially vertical take-over plane 20, which is formed by the plane of the drawing in FIG. 3 and is indicated by dot-dash lines in the other figures.
  • the packing insert strips 6 are also aligned with their strip surface parallel to the transfer plane when they are taken over, and their length is essentially transverse to the running direction 18 of the clamping pliers 2, that is to say essentially horizontally.
  • This position of the package insert strips 6 is designated A in the drawing.
  • the vertical position of the packing insert strips 6 in front of the packaged goods chain after its deflection is denoted by B.
  • a collecting bag 21 is provided for the packing insert strips 6 leaving the delivery mouth 8 of the packing insert conveyor one after the other.
  • the collecting bag takes up only one of the packing insert strips 6 and aligns it in the position specified for takeover by the clamp pliers 2 and secures it in this position.
  • the packing insert strip 6 also protrudes from the collecting pocket 21 in the direction of its length with at least the strip end 60 to be gripped by the clamping tongs 2 in the path of the clamping tongs 2, as can best be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the collecting bag 21 is for the exit of the packing insert strip 6 gripped by the clamping tongs 2
  • the direction of rotation of the clamps 2 (arrow 18) is open at the top.
  • the deflection rollers 9 ', 9''of the conveyor belts 7', 7 '' forming the delivery opening being arranged on the same side in FIG. 2 as the left of the transfer plane 20.
  • the deflection rollers 9 ′, 9 ′′ keep a distance from the take-over level 20, which enables the packing insert strips 6 gripped by the clamping tongs 2 to run past the deflection rollers 9 ′, 9 ′′.
  • the collecting pocket 21 is formed between two pocket walls 23, 24 connected at the lower edge by a pocket bottom 22.
  • the front pocket wall 24 is practically opposite the dispensing mouth 8 in the takeover plane 20.
  • the rear pocket wall 23 connects with its upper pocket edge 23 'approximately to the dispensing mouth 8, while the front pocket wall 24 with its upper edge 24' up to the level with the Packaged goods conveyor runs parallel runs (arrow 18 ') of the clamp chain 3 so that it also leads the packing insert strips 6 on part of the way in which the packing insert strips 6 are deflected in the direction of arrow 25 from the horizontal orientation A into the vertical orientation B. will.
  • the conveyor belts 7 ', 7'' run in front of and in the delivery mouth 8 obliquely from top to bottom at an acute angle 26 against the transfer plane 20, so that the package insert strips 6 emerging in the delivery mouth 8 between the conveyor belts 7', 7 '' without noteworthy bend and deflection in the collecting bag 21.
