Description

Les problèmes que posent les dispositifs de ce genre existant actuellement concernent d'une part les cadences de fonctionnement, d'autre part la fiabilité de l'approvisionnement et du positionnement des manchons d'étiquetage ainsi que des emballages à étiqueter.The problems posed by devices of this type currently existing concern on the one hand the operating rates, on the other hand the reliability of the supply and positioning of the labeling sleeves as well as the packaging to be labeled.

On connaît déjà des machines dont les cadences de fonctionnement sont satisfaisantes mais qui comportent plusieurs ensembles de pose de manchons disposés à la périphérie d'un barillet afin d'assurer la pose de manchons au cours de la rotation du barillet. Ces machines sont cependant d'un prix de revient prohibitif et en outre les risques d'anomalie de fonctionnement et de panne sont multipliés par le nombre d'ensembles de pose prévus sur le barillet.Machines are already known whose operating rates are satisfactory but which include several sleeving assemblies arranged at the periphery of a barrel in order to ensure the laying of sleeves during the rotation of the barrel. These machines are, however, prohibitively expensive and in addition the risks of operating anomalies and breakdowns are multiplied by the number of fitting assemblies provided on the barrel.

On connaît également des machines à un seul ensemble de pose mais qui impliquent un déplacement vertical et/ou transversal de l'emballage à étiqueter par rapport au convoyeur des emballages sur lequel les emballages se déplacent l'un derrière l'autre. Ces dispositions ont pour effet d'amener l'emballage à un poste de manchonnage qui est décalé latéralement et/ou verticalement du chemin de convoyage. Une telle disposition implique des cadences de fonctionnement lentes et actuellement industriellement inacceptables étant donné que la durée du cycle de fonctionnement est grevée par les temps de transfert de l'emballage.Also known are machines with a single set of laying but which involve a vertical and / or transverse movement of the packaging to be labeled relative to the packaging conveyor on which the packaging moves one behind the other. These provisions have the effect of bringing the packaging to a sleeving station which is offset laterally and / or vertically from the conveying path. Such a provision implies slow operating rates and currently industrially unacceptable since the duration of the operating cycle is burdened by the transfer times of the packaging.

En outre, ces dispositifs impliquent une très faible sécurité de fonctionnement compte tenu des risques de basculement ou de positionnement incorrect de l'emballage consécutivement à ses déplacements et en raison de son faible poids et donc de ses faibles stabilités et inerties.In addition, these devices imply very low operating safety taking into account the risks of tilting or incorrect positioning of the packaging following its movements and due to its low weight and therefore its low stability and inertia.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients de ces dispositifs connus et concerne à cet effet un dispositif pour la pose de manchons d'étiquetage sur des emballages ou similaires, comportant un dispositif d'alimentation en manchons, un dispositif d'étirage des manchons et un convoyeur horizontal pour les emballages à étiqueter, dispositif caractérisé en ce que le dispositif d'alimentation en manchons est disposé au-dessus et à la verticale du convoyeur et en ce que le dispositif d'étirage comporte deux paires d'étireurs mobiles horizontalement et disposés en oblique par rapport à la direction de convoyage des emballages par le convoyeur, chaque paire d'étireurs étant disposée de part et d'autre du chemin de convoyage et étant mobiles verticalement entre le convoyeur et le dispositif d'alimentation pour la préhension d'un manchon et sa mise en place sur un emballage.The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of these known devices and to this end relates to a device for fitting labeling sleeves onto packaging or the like, comprising a device for feeding sleeves, a device for stretching sleeves and a horizontal conveyor for the packaging to be labeled, device characterized in that the sleeve supply device is arranged above and vertically of the conveyor and in that the stretching device comprises two pairs of mobile stretchers horizontally and arranged obliquely to the direction of conveying the packages by the conveyor, each pair of stretchers being arranged on either side of the conveyor path and being movable vertically between the conveyor and the supply device for the gripping a sleeve and placing it on a package.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les étireurs disposés en oblique par rapport à la direction de convoyage des emballages, sont mobiles horizontalement suivant une trajectoire courbe.According to another characteristic of the invention, the stretchers arranged obliquely with respect to the direction of conveying of the packages are movable horizontally along a curved path.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les étireurs sont mobiles horizontalement par translation.According to another characteristic of the invention, the stretchers are movable horizontally by translation.

Suivant une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les étireurs des deux paires d'étireurs sont orientés radialement et forment entre eux des angles sensiblement de l'ordre de 90° et sont disposés en oblique par rapport au convoyeur sensiblement suivant des angles de 45°.According to another characteristic of the invention, the stretchers of the two pairs of stretchers are oriented radially and form between them angles substantially of the order of 90 ° and are arranged obliquely to the conveyor substantially at angles of 45 ° .

L'invention est représentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif sur les dessins ci-joints dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue latérale d'un dispositif conforme à l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de la figure 1.
The invention is shown by way of nonlimiting example in the accompanying drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a side view of a device according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a top view of Figure 1.

La présente invention a en conséquence pour but la réalisation d'un dispositif pour la pose des manchons sur des emballages ou similaires, qui soit d'une cadence de fonctionnement élevée et qui permette une fiabilité de la pose des manchons d'étiquetage sur les emballages par une construction, une disposition et un fonctionnement particuliers des étireurs pour la pose des manchons sur les emballages.The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a device for fitting the sleeves on packaging or the like, which has a high operating rate and which allows reliability of fitting the labeling sleeves on the packaging. by a particular construction, arrangement and operation of the stretchers for fitting the sleeves on the packages.

Le dispositif représenté sur les dessins ci-joints comprend ainsi un bâti 1 traversé par un convoyeur rectiligne 2, constitué par exemple par un tapis sans fin et sur lequel sont disposés en appui les emballages à étiqueter 3. Suivant le dispositif, la pose des manchons sur les emballages est assurée sans que ces emballages soient écartés du convoyeur 2, soit verticalement, soit latéralement, ce convoyeur étant dans ce cas de préférence mais non obligatoirement associé à un répartiteur qui assure l'écartement de l'emballage à étiqueter de ses voisins et/ou l'arrêt momentané de cet emballage pour l'opération de manchonnage proprement dite. Cette répartition des emballages peut être effectuée en temps compensé c'est-à-dire pendant les périodes de préhension et de descente d'un manchon vers un nouvel emballage.The device shown in the attached drawings thus comprises a frame 1 traversed by a straight conveyor 2, constituted for example by an endless belt and on which are placed in abutment the packages to be labeled 3. According to the device, the fitting of the sleeves on the packaging is ensured without these packaging being moved away from the conveyor 2, either vertically or laterally, this conveyor being in this case preferably but not necessarily associated with a distributor which ensures the spacing of the packaging to be labeled from its neighbors and / or temporarily stopping this packaging for the actual sleeving operation. This distribution of the packaging can be done in compensated time, that is to say during the gripping and descent periods from a sleeve to a new packaging.

Au-dessus et à la verticale du convoyeur 2 est prévu le dispositif d'alimentation en manchons d'étiquetage, ce dispositif, connu en lui-même, assurant la distribution et la mise en forme de manchons issus par exemple d'un rouleau de manchons supporté par le bâti de la machine.Above and vertical to the conveyor 2 is provided the device for supplying labeling sleeves, this device, known in itself, ensuring the distribution and shaping of sleeves originating for example from a roll of sleeves supported by the machine frame.

La préhension des manchons distribués par le dispositif d'alimentation est assurée par deux paires d'étireurs 6, les étireurs de chaque paire étant disposés latéralement de part et d'autre du convoyeur 2 de façon à être mobiles au-dessus de ce convoyeur entre le convoyeur et le dispositif d'alimentation en manchons. Chaque étireur 6 comprend une lame verticale 6₁ qui est destinée à s'introduire dans l'ouverture inférieure du manchon présenté par le dispositif afin de l'étirer transversalement et de le déplacer verticalement de haut en bas pour le déposer sur l'emballage 3 disposé à la verticale en position d'étiquetage.The sleeves distributed by the feed device are gripped by two pairs of stretchers 6, the stretchers of each pair being arranged laterally on either side of the conveyor 2 so as to be movable above this conveyor between the conveyor and the sleeve supply device. Each stretcher 6 comprises a vertical blade 6₁ which is intended to be introduced into the lower opening of the sleeve presented by the device in order to stretch it transversely and to move it vertically up and down to deposit it on the packaging 3 disposed vertically in the labeling position.

Comme cela apparaît sur la figure 2, les étireurs 6 des deux paires d'étireurs sont mobiles horizontalement et sont disposés en oblique par rapport à la direction de convoyage du convoyeur 2.As shown in FIG. 2, the stretchers 6 of the two pairs of stretchers are movable horizontally and are arranged obliquely to the conveying direction of the conveyor 2.

Egalement, comme représenté, les quatre étireurs 6 sont orientés radialement l'un par rapport à l'autre et forment entre eux des angles sensiblement égaux à 90° tout en étant disposés suivant un angle de 45° par rapport à la direction rectiligne de convoyage de l'emballage par le convoyeur 2.Also, as shown, the four stretchers 6 are oriented radially with respect to each other and form between them angles substantially equal to 90 ° while being arranged at an angle of 45 ° with respect to the straight conveying direction. packing by the conveyor 2.

Les étireurs 6 se composent chacun d'une structure en parallélogramme déformable comprenant deux bras parallèles et de même longueur 6₂ articulés par une de leurs extrémités entre une paire de platines 6₃ et recevant de manière articulée à leur autre extrémité l'étireur proprement dit 6 pourvu de son doigt vertical 6₆. Les axes d'articulation 6₄ de ces parallélogrammes déformables sont verticaux et l'un 6₅ de ces axes constitue une colonne de guidage des paires d'étireurs lors de leur déplacement vertical.The stretchers 6 each consist of a deformable parallelogram structure comprising two parallel arms of the same length 6₂ articulated by one of their ends between a pair of plates 6₃ and receiving in an articulated manner at their other end the actual stretcher 6 provided with its vertical finger 6₆. The axes of articulation 6₄ of these deformable parallelograms are vertical and one 6₅ of these axes constitutes a column for guiding the pairs of stretchers during their vertical displacement.

Les déplacements horizontaux et verticaux des paires d'étireurs sont assurés à partir d'un même organe moteur 7 relié par un ensemble à chaîne et pignons ou similaire à une came circulaire double 8 montée à rotation sur son axe 8₁. Cette came 8 comprend ainsi un premier chemin de came circulaire 9 sur lequel vient s'appliquer le galet 10 prévu à l'extrémité d'un bras 11 solidaire d'un second bras 12 par l'intermédiaire de son axe de pivotement 13. Ce bras 12 est relié par une tringlerie 14 à un maneton 14₁ qui est solidaire d'une came circulaire 16 par l'intermédiaire de l'axe 17. Cette came 16 coopère avec des biellettes 18 articulées chacune sur un bras 6₆ solidaire en rotation d'un bras 6₂ par une des colonnes de guidage 6₅.The horizontal and vertical movements of the pairs of stretchers are ensured from the same motor member 7 connected by a chain and sprocket assembly or similar to a double circular cam 8 mounted for rotation on its axis 8₁. This cam 8 thus comprises a first circular cam path 9 on which the roller 10 is applied which is provided at the end of an arm 11 secured to a second arm 12 by means of its pivot axis 13. This arm 12 is connected by a linkage 14 to a crank pin 14₁ which is integral with a circular cam 16 via the axis 17. This cam 16 cooperates with rods 18 each articulated on an arm 6₆ integral in rotation with an arm 6₂ by one of the guide columns 6₅.

Cette disposition permet d'assurer à partir de la came 9 le déplacement horizontal et en translation des étireurs 6 suivant des trajectoires courbes en arc de cercle, déterminées par la longueur et le point de pivotement des biellettes 6₂ des parallélogrammes déformables.This arrangement makes it possible to ensure, from the cam 9, the horizontal and translational movement of the stretchers 6 along curved trajectories in an arc of a circle, determined by the length and the pivot point of the rods 6₂ of the deformable parallelograms.

Un ressort 14₂ est prévu en liaison avec le maneton 14₁ afin de tendre constamment à ramener les étireurs 6 en position initiale.A spring 14₂ is provided in connection with the crankpin 14₁ in order to constantly tend to return the stretchers 6 to the initial position.

Le déplacement vertical des étireurs entre le dispositif d'alimentation en manchons 4 et le convoyeur 2 est assuré à partir de la came circulaire 19 solidaire de la came 9 et sur laquelle vient s'appliquer le galet 20 monté sur un levier 21 pivotant en 22 sur le bâti 1 de la machine. L'extrémité de ce levier 21 est reliée par des tiges 23 à chacune des paires de structures 6₃ de support des paires d'étireurs 6 afin de les commander en déplacement vertical sur les quatre colonnes de guidage 6₅.The vertical movement of the stretchers between the sleeve supply device 4 and the conveyor 2 is provided from the circular cam 19 integral with the cam 9 and on which the roller 20 is applied, mounted on a lever 21 pivoting at 22 on the frame 1 of the machine. The end of this lever 21 is connected by rods 23 to each of the pairs of structures 6₃ for supporting the pairs of stretchers 6 in order to control them in vertical movement on the four guide columns 6₅.

Ainsi, les déplacements vertical et horizontal des étireurs sont parfaitement synchronisés pour que, cinématiquement, les manchons présentés par le dispositif de distribution soient prélevés par les étireurs 6 puis étirés au cours de leur mouvement de descente vers le convoyeur et enfin libérés sur un emballage. Ensuite, les étireurs se déplacent à nouveau vers leur position haute pour venir prendre en charge un nouveau manchon pendant qu'un nouvel emballage se place à la verticale du dispositif de distribution.Thus, the vertical and horizontal movements of the stretchers are perfectly synchronized so that, kinematically, the sleeves presented by the dispensing device are removed by the stretchers 6 and then stretched during their downward movement towards the conveyor and finally released on a package. Then, the stretchers move again to their high position to take over a new sleeve while a new package is placed vertically on the dispensing device.

On constate donc que suivant l'invention, l'étirage du manchon se fait par deux paires d'étireurs placés en oblique par rapport au cheminement des manchons afin d'assurer un étirage régulier du manchon transversalement sur toute sa périphérie et d'obtenir sa mise en place aisée sur l'emballage, sans nécessiter un déplacement de cet emballage en dehors de sa surface d'appui sur le convoyeur.It can therefore be seen that, according to the invention, the stretching of the sleeve is done by two pairs of stretchers placed obliquely to the path of the sleeves in order to ensure regular stretching of the sleeve transversely over its entire periphery and to obtain its easy installation on the packaging, without requiring displacement of this packaging outside its bearing surface on the conveyor.
