Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for crating individual containers and, more particularly an automatic positioning device for containers when they are crated.
  • Machines are known for filling boxes or grouping cartons with containers grouped in "packs", containing a variable number of containers which can vary, generally from two to sixteen, which are taken from a conveyor belt by a gripping head which places them in the packaging.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome this drawback. It is based on the idea that the containers should not be forced by mechanical means to take a determined position, but brought into the required position by sliding without shocks.
  • the device for positioning individual containers comprising sealing collars, in a crating machine comprising a gripping plate provided with regularly distributed suction cups
  • a crating machine comprising a gripping plate provided with regularly distributed suction cups
  • the device for positioning individual containers is characterized in that it comprises a guide animated by a vertical reciprocating movement, on which the flanges of the containers come to rest, and, on the gripping plate, conical guide pads distributed between the suction cups, protruding below the level of the cups.
  • the guide when it is raised, brings all the containers to the same level, the flanges of two adjacent containers, however, being able to overlap.
  • the pots of the tray come into contact with the edges of the flanges, these possibly slide one over the other and they are found, when the flanges arrive at the suction cups displaced relative to the another according to a pitch defined by the diameter of the frustoconical studs at this level.
  • FIG 1 there is a set of containers 1a to 1e, provided with sealing collars 2, which are substantially aligned and rest on a conveyor belt 3 corresponding with a manufacturing machine.
  • the containers do not include flanges, there is generally a bead at the top or a recess in the vicinity of the top of the container which performs the same role
  • a stop 5 against which the body of the first container 1a comes into contact under the action of driving the mat which, in the case considered circulates from the right to the left of the figure, as symbolized by the arrow.
  • the conveyor belt 3 Above the conveyor belt 3 and on either side of it extend two parallel guides 4 connected to a common support 12.
  • the two parallel longitudinal guides are, at the start of the operation, below the flanges 2 so that the containers circulate normally on the belt 3.
  • Figure 2 shows, under the same conditions, the containers after positioning, while in Figure 1, the flanges of the containers overlapped, due to the drive by the conveyor belt 3, they are now perfectly spaced thanks to the device of the invention.
  • FIG. 3 represents a partial view of a boxing machine and, more particularly, a gripping head designated as a whole by the reference 7, comprising suction cups 8, each suction cup corresponding to a container to be taken from the carpet.
  • the suction cups can be in line, as shown in the figures or they can be grouped in two or three rows of three or four containers.
  • the suction cups are mounted on a plate 9 connected, of course, to a suction source (not shown).
  • the operation of the device is as follows.
  • the containers arrive, after their filling and possibly their closure by a cover on the conveyor belt 3 until the container 1a comes into abutment against the stop 5.
  • the following containers are pushed against the container 1a by the belt, so that they come into contact with each other, the collars 2 of certain containers partially covering the collar of the preceding containers.
  • the guides 4 are lifted by the jack 11. They come into contact, during their upward movement, with the lower surface of the flanges of the containers they lift, up to the level of the suction cups. In this first step, the flanges remain, possibly partially superimposed on the guides 4.
