Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for loading a packaging receptacle with a predetermined number of filled, identical packagings, which stand side by side in the packaging receptacle, - with a compartment belt guided in a closed circulation path via guide rollers with compartments arranged in the transport direction for accommodating the individual packagings and one Feed conveyor which transfers the individual packages to the individual compartments in a transfer station, the compartment belt being driven continuously and continuously through the transfer station, the packages located in the compartments being removed in groups in a loading station in the form of a series of packages consisting of several packages, whereby the packaging located in the compartments in the area of the loading station at the same time as a movement component orthogonal to the direction of transport of the conveyor belt and in a parallel to the transport Movement component running direction of the belt are movable.
  • the packaging receptacles are, for example, open cartons in which a predetermined number of pouch packs are inserted.
  • a device of the construction described above, from which the invention is based, is known from DE-U 295 19 365. This device has proven itself in principle, but is nevertheless with regard to the functional reliability of the delivery of a row of packaging and at the same time with regard to can still be improved to a very short cycle time for this delivery.
  • a device is also known from EP 0 551 613 A1, in which measures are required for transferring the packaging to the packaging receptacles, which result in a disruptive increase in the cycle time.
  • a section of the conveyor belt with the packaging located in the compartments is to be fixed in the loading station for a loading break, during which the packaging is transferred from the compartments to the packaging receptacles.
  • this has the consequence that the circulation path must be changeable according to the loading pause and the resulting section length of the conveyor belt guided through the transfer station by adjusting guide rollers that move away from the feeding station in the direction of circulation, and must then be resettable and designed accordingly.
  • the known device has proven itself. However, the two measures described last have an increasing influence on the cycle time with regard to the filling of the packaging receptacles. Otherwise, the known embodiment is complex in terms of drive technology. In detail, the following should be reported on the known measures:
  • two servo motors are required to drive the conveyor belt, which moves continuously in accordance with the product flow in the infeed area, where the packaging is transferred to the compartments, but at the same time in the loading station, a non-continuous movement of the outfeed from the Specialist chain must perform the appropriate stop-and-go movement.
  • the first of the servomotors works continuously in the inlet area, the second in two phases depending on the working principle.
  • the second servo motor can be moved continuously in synchronization with the main motor in the first drive phase, as long as no packaging is pushed out of the conveyor belt. In the second phase, this servo motor works at a standstill to create the rest time required to push the products out of the assembly line or vice versa.
  • the period of time required for pushing out, ie the downtime is achieved by the measures described with what is known as a memory structure. This is complex and also requires complex acceleration processes, with large masses having to be moved.
  • the invention is based on the technical problem of specifying a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized by very short cycle times for the delivery of rows of packaging.
  • the invention teaches a device of the type mentioned at the outset, which is characterized in that the loading station has a servo-driven slide which executes a lifting movement at an acute extension angle in the transport direction of the conveyor belt, the stroke speed of the slide being regulated in the direction of extension is that their speed component in the transport direction corresponds to the current belt speed.
  • the invention teaches that the slide has plungers arranged in the extension angle, on both sides of the conveyor belt can be moved back and forth, and that grippers are connected to the plunger, which are aligned parallel to the transport direction of the conveyor belt and capture side surfaces of the packaging lying in the open compartments of the conveyor belt.
  • the packaging receptacles to be filled are positioned at the reversal point of the slider on the ejection side, outside the running area of the conveyor belt, and the packaging rows are inserted directly into the provided packaging receptacles by means of the slider.
  • a preferred solution in terms of system engineering provides that a transfer device is arranged at the reversal point of the slide on the ejection side, which is outside the running area of the shed, which detects the row of packaging pushed out of the shed and held by the slider.
  • the transfer device has a pair of pliers connected to a swiveling device which detects the packaging row and, after a swiveling movement, inserts it into a provided packaging receptacle or delivers it to a device which forms larger groups of several identical packaging rows which can be used intermittently in packaging receptacles. It is possible to use conventional transport devices for the transport of the packaging receptacles to and from them.
  • the device according to the invention has considerable advantages. On the one hand, this is the shortening of the introductory cycle time.
  • a main motor of the conveyor belt drives the conveyor belt continuously, as in the known embodiment.
  • a second servo motor does not write more a vertical movement in relation to the conveyor belt, but in accordance with the component movement described, as it were an oblique movement with an operationally adjustable or fixed predetermined extension angle.
  • the resulting movement components can be adapted to the specific problem.
  • the memory structure is omitted.
  • the kinematics of the device as a whole is simplified. The moving mass and the tensile forces to be absorbed by the conveyor belt can be significantly reduced.
  • a toothed belt with interchangeably fastened, fan-forming drivers can be used as a conveyor belt.
  • the compartment size can be varied without having to change the assembly line as a whole in terms of assembly technology.
  • the drivers can be fastened in a structurally simple manner in that the drivers have clamping jaws fastened to the edges of the toothed belt, into which spring plates are inserted.
  • the invention also relates to a method for controlling a device of the construction described.
  • the control process presupposes that the device has a specialist belt guided in a closed circulation path via guide rollers with compartments arranged in the direction of transport for accommodating the individual packagings and a feed conveyor, that the specialist belt is continuously guided by a servo-motorized belt drive through a transfer station and there the packaging brought up to the feed conveyor and that the packaging located in the compartments in groups in a loading station in the form of a packaging series consisting of several packages from the specialist tape.
  • the feeding of the packaging and the movement of the conveyor belt must be synchronized very precisely. Synchronization measures are necessary because the distances between the packagings are not even. Distance changes inevitably result from manipulation in previous processing stations.
  • a storage for packaging could be provided in the feeder, from which the feed conveyor removes the packaging again at intervals that are precisely matched to the transport speed of the conveyor belt and feeds it to the conveyor belt. If the feed conveyor is in turn formed with chambers and its drive is coupled to the drive of the conveyor belt, trouble-free operation is readily possible. The plant engineering effort is extremely high.
  • Another way to ensure the necessary synchronization between the feeding movement of the packaging and the transport movement of the conveyor belt is to measure the distances of the packaging brought up on the feed conveyor and to adapt the conveyor belt speed to the feeding of the packaging and to regulate it in such a way that the filling compartment and the packaging to be placed in the compartment reach the transfer point at the same time.
  • a regulation has proven to be unstable.
  • the technical problem consists in specifying a method for controlling a device for loading a packaging receptacle with a predetermined number of filled, identical packages, which quickly and stably regulates faults in the feeding of the packages to the conveyor belt.
  • malfunctions mean different distances between the packages brought up on the feed conveyor, changes in the feed speeds due to uneven running of the feed conveyor, gaps between the packages due to operational disturbances in previous filling and packaging stations and the like. etc. ..
  • the transfer station has an infeed belt equipped with a servo-motor drive and a measuring device which measures the distance between the packs, the infeed belt taking over the packs brought in, passing them to a control point and feeding them to the compartments of the specialist belt at a transfer point that the current speed of this packaging as well as the current speed of the compartment to be filled are determined when passing the control point and that the speed corrections are made both on the infeed belt and on the compartment belt in such a way that the compartment belt is filled without gaps and that the loading station has a servo-driven slide which executes a lifting movement at an acute extension angle in the transport direction of the compartment belt, the stroke speed of the slide being regulated in the extension direction so that its speed component in the direction of transport corresponds to the current belt speed.
  • the instantaneous speeds result in the time required to transport the packaging to the transfer point and the time required to move the compartment to be filled, also to the transfer point.
  • the time difference resulting from a comparison is a measure of the speed corrections to be made.
  • speed corrections are made both on the infeed belt and on the conveyor belt so that their effects add up. If, for example, it is found that the packaging passing the control point is ahead of the assigned compartment of the conveyor belt to be filled, the speed of the infeed belt is correctively reduced and the conveyor belt speed is correctively increased.
  • the loading station has a servo-driven slide which executes a lifting movement at an acute ejection angle in the transport direction.
  • the invention teaches in a further embodiment that the position of the conveyor belt and the current conveyor belt speed are measured continuously and that the push-out movement of the slider is started before the last compartment belonging to a row of packs to be pushed out has reached the engagement area of the push-pull, the push-pull being accelerated to a final stroke speed during the push-out movement, the speed component of which in the transport direction of the specialist belt corresponds to the current speed of the mechanical belt speed, and the final stroke speed is achieved when the packaging row to be pushed out is completely in the engagement area of the slide.
