Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of packaging of filiform products such as, for example example, green beans, as well as a device for its Implementation.
  • the present invention is not limited to such uses and it will find its application in all sectors of economic activity in which we have to package products filiform with a more or less irregular appearance and a certain rigidity such as, for example, products food like carrots, asparagus or others.
  • the corresponding device is therefore not suitable for filiform products of small section which would get caught between the clamps.
  • the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method of packaging of filiform products as well as a device for its implementation work which do not alter the condition of the said filiform products.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for packaging filiform products as well as a device for its implementation which ensure the aligned storage of said products threadlike.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a packaging process and a device for its implementation which allow to ensure satisfactory rates.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for packaging filiform products and a device for placing it which make it possible to comply with the hygiene rules encountered in the field of the food industry.
  • the present invention relates to a method of packaging of filiform products such as, for example example, green beans.
  • the present invention is however not limited to such uses and it will find its application in all sectors of economic activity in which we have to package products filiform with a more or less external appearance irregular and some rigidity such as, for example, food products like carrots, asparagus or others.
  • filiform products 1 such as, for example, green beans, substantially aligned, in a pocket 3.
  • this storage step takes place previously and independently in a marked area 4.
  • the pocket 3 is then transferred, for example, by by means of transport 5, to a zone 6 boxing where the threadlike products 1 occur in a first direction, marked 2.
  • box 7, jar or equivalent having an axis longitudinal, oriented substantially along said first direction 2.
  • Box 7, jar or equivalent is provided with a opening 8 at its end placed opposite the pocket 3.
  • boxes 7, jars or equivalents for example, boxes of substantially cylindrical preserves, glass jars, or any other type of packaging in which one wishes store aligned filiform products parallel to the longitudinal axis and provided with an opening 8, substantially orthogonal to this axis, along one of the bases of the box.
  • tubular element 9 between the pocket 3 and the vicinity of the opening 8. It is oriented substantially in the first direction 2.
  • the filiform products 1 before introducing the filiform products 1 in box 7, jar or equivalent, they are accelerated and guided in the tubular element 9 towards opening 8. They thus acquire a certain momentum which facilitates their penetration into the box. The filiform products 1 are then stored in the box without being altered and retaining their alignment.
  • the first direction 2 is oriented substantially horizontal. Boxes 7, jars or equivalents are therefore shown lying next to the tubular element 9.
  • the internal profile of the tubular element 9 corresponds to the dimensions of the opening 8.
  • these dimensions are different and we exercise a slight compression on filiform products 1 in the element tubular 9.
  • light it should be understood that the volume filiform products 1 in the tubular element 9 is slightly lower than the one it will occupy in the box 7, jar or equivalent.
  • the threadlike products 1 such as, for example, beans green
  • the threadlike products 1 resume their initial level of expansion, in particular, thanks to their elasticity.
  • the tubular element 9 by the pocket 3 provided longer than filiform products 1, and by a removable cover 19 of complementary shape to said pocket 3.
  • a pocket 3 can be used, the length is approximately twice that of filiform products 1.
  • the products filiform 1 are provided rows aligned at the other end of pocket 3, they are pushed back, for example, using a cylinder 15, at the bottom of the pocket 3, that is to say at its end placed opposite the box 7, jar or equivalent.
  • the packaging process in accordance with the invention follows, for example, the following sequences.
  • the cover 19 is then retracted. A new pocket 3 and a new box 7, jar or equivalent and so on.
  • the present invention also relates to a device for packaging filiform products 1 such than, for example, green beans.
  • FIG. 3 it includes, according to the invention, means 16 for storing the products filiform 1, substantially aligned along a first direction 2, in a pocket 3.
  • It also includes means 17 for have a box 7, jar or equivalent, having a longitudinal axis, oriented substantially along the first direction 2, and provided with an opening 8 at its end placed next to the pocket 3.
  • the device according to the invention comprises also a tubular element 9 between the pocket 3 and the vicinity of the opening 8, oriented substantially along the first direction 2.
  • the device for packaging also includes means 18 for accelerate and guide filiform products 1 in the tubular element 9 towards the front opening 8 the introduction into the box 7, jar or equivalent.
  • the tubular element 9 has a profile interior substantially the same as that of the box 7, jar or equivalent. It could be, for example, a cylindrical profile.
  • the first direction 2 is provided substantially horizontal.
  • the element tubular 9 is constituted by the pocket 3, expected longer than filiform products 1, and by a cover 19 of complementary shape to the pocket 3.
  • the latter consists, for example, of two sides 20 and a bottom 21 having a profile interior partially taking up the profile of the box 7, jar or equivalent in which the filiform products 1 are conditioned.
  • pocket 3 has thus, for example, a bottom 21 provided with an interior profile semi-cylindrical.
  • the term "complementary" means that the pocket 3 and the cover 19 define between them a space 22 constituting a tube. As already mentioned above, its profile corresponds to that box 7, jar or equivalent in which the products filiform 1 are packaged.
  • the cover 19 cooperates with the sides 20 of the pocket 3. It has a thickness 23 protruding between said sides 20. This thickness 23 presents, at its end facing the bottom 21 of the pocket 3, a concave surface 35. It may be according to the example of implementation mentioned above, of a surface substantially semi-cylindrical.
  • cover 19 has, for example, a identical length to that of pocket 3.
  • the means 18 for accelerating are constituted by a piston 24, able to move, substantially along the first direction 2, in the tubular element 9.
  • the piston 24 is actuated, for example, by at least a second cylinder 25, in particular double effect.
  • Said second cylinder 25 is provided, for example, with control means 26 capable of inhibiting the movement of the piston 24 if the filiform products 1 are not present in pocket 3 or if box 7, jar or equivalent is not present in the extension of the tubular element 9.
  • the device according to the invention comprises, in addition, for example, a succession of pockets 3, filled of filiform products lined up aligned.
  • the pockets 3 are suitable for scrolling successively, notably step by step, at the element level tubular 9, opposite the box 7, jar or equivalent. They are secured, for example, on a conveyor 27 endless on which they are, in particular, spaced regularly.
  • the packaging device in accordance with the invention further comprises, for example, means for scroll successively, notably step by step, boxes 7, jars or equivalent, in the extension of the tubular element 9.
  • These means for scrolling are consisting, for example, of a pocket conveyor, a chain or pocket wheel 29.
  • the device according to the invention comprises, for example, means 30 for compressing the products filiform 1 inside the tubular element 9.
  • the means 30 for compressing are constituted by the cover 19. Indeed, as shown, the space 22 between the pocket 3 and the cover 19 defines a section slightly smaller than that, marked by dotted lines 31, from box 7, jar or equivalent.
  • the cover 19 is provided sliding relative to pocket 3.
  • the pocket 3 is provided with rods 32 cooperating with through holes 33 made in the cover 19.
