Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and a device according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • articles of the tobacco processing industry are primarily to be understood to mean cigarette packs which are packaged in groups of generally 10 pieces in cartons, known as sticks. But it can also be cigarette packs or other objects to be packed in so-called hard cup packs.
  • the packaging material is in the form of usually printed, rigid blanks made of cardboard, cardboard, solid paper, plastic or other material suitable for packaging.
  • Cigarette packets are usually arranged in groups of 10, which are wrapped in one or more packaging material blanks. This results in a large pack or a container, which is also called a cigarette stick.
  • the packaging material is in the form of prefabricated blanks, usually printed on at least one side, which have longitudinal side surfaces corresponding to the long sides of the pack groups, surfaces corresponding to the end faces and sealing flaps on the longitudinal edge of at least one long side surface and on the front edges of at least some of the long side surfaces.
  • the longitudinal side surfaces and sealing flaps are delimited from one another by fold lines which are usually weakened, preferably grooved, in order to facilitate folding around the pack groups and to obtain defined pack edges.
  • the arrangement of the fold lines on the cut, their course and their dimensions correspond as closely as possible to the edges of the pack group to be packed.
  • a device known from DE 33 33 053 A1 has a mouthpiece designed as a molding tool for feeding the pack groups, which is moved against a molded body, taking the blank with it, the blank being pre-folded on two fold lines. Since converging guide surfaces of the tool and the molded body are moved towards one another for prefolding, there are relative movements between these guide surfaces and the blank. Under unfavorable conditions, this can impair the appearance, in particular the printed side of the blank.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a further method and another device of the type described above.
  • folding plate as a folding tool for the outer side surfaces adjoining the second and third side surfaces of the blank leads to a very efficient handling of the pre-folding of all longitudinal folding lines.
  • Components of the folding means according to claims 12 and 13 can also be components of the blank receptacle, which contributes to a rational constructive structure of the device.
  • the invention offers the advantage that cigarette sticks of improved quality can be produced. This happens because the folds on the fold lines cause reduced material tensions and the folds in more reproducible positions respectively.
  • the pre-folding of the blanks on all longitudinal folding lines results in lower loads on the articles to be packaged when the blanks are folded around the pack groups, which also reduces the risk of the articles being deformed or damaged. This also leads to higher product quality. Sliding and sliding relative movements between the folding members and the wide long sides of the blanks, which essentially determine the visual impression of the finished package, are excluded when the article is bent forward, so that scratches and scratches on these surfaces are largely avoided. This is particularly important when packaging the items in sensitive packaging material.
  • the device shown as an exemplary embodiment of the invention in the drawing has a preparation station 1 for articles 2 to be packaged, a receptacle 3 for positioning a blank 4 for processing, a revolver 6 with pockets 7 for receiving successive articles 2 and one from the preparation station 1 through the blank receptacle 3 leading to the revolver 6 packing web 8 with means 9 for moving an article 2 over the packing web.
  • the articles 2 to be packaged here are groups of 10 cigarette packs 11 each, which are arranged in two rows of 5 pieces one on top of the other. These groups of cigarette packs or also reach the preparation station 1 Cigarette sticks "by means of a belt conveyor 12, which is known per se and is therefore only indicated by dashed lines in FIGS. 2 and 3.
  • a conveyor 9 serves as a slide, which pushes the articles in the direction of an arrow 13 along the packaging path 8 through the cut receptacle 3 into a pocket 7 of the folding turret 6.
  • a known piston-cylinder unit can serve as the drive for the conveying means 9.
  • the packing track 8 is predetermined by a sliding surface 14, a first mouthpiece 16 adjoining the sliding surface 14 and a second mouthpiece 17 aligned with the first in the direction of the packing track, which in turn is aligned with a pocket 7 of the folding turret 6 that is ready to receive.
  • the first mouthpiece 16 is supported on both sides of the packing path by lever arms 18a, b by pivoting levers 19a, b which are mounted in the side frame 22 of the machine so as to be pivotable about an axis 21.
  • Figure 1 which is a view in the direction of the arrows - 2
  • the first mouthpiece 16 can be seen in a front view.
  • the first mouthpiece 16 is fastened to the lever arms 18a and 18b of the swivel levers 19a and 19b via the limiting bodies 24 and via connecting elements 26, only one of which is shown partly in broken lines in FIG. 1.
  • Each pivot lever 19a or 19b has a second lever arm 27a or 27b, the free end of which is connected via a coupling 28 to an angle lever 31 which can be pivoted about an axis 29.
  • the angle levers 31 are firmly seated on the shaft 29, on which an eccentric 32 is also attached in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • a rotating control cam 33 drives the rotary movement of the shaft 29 via a linkage 34 articulated on the eccentric 32 and an angle lever 36 with a control roller 37 interacting with the control cam (see FIG. 2).
  • the rotating control cam 33 sets the first mouthpiece 16 in a pivoting movement about the axis 21 of the pivoting lever 19.
  • the fixed mouthpiece 17 has an upper guide 38a and a lower guide 38b. These guides 38a and 38b are fastened to the side frame 22 of the machine by means of connecting elements 39 and 41. Each connecting element 39 also carries a side delimitation 42 of the second mouthpiece 17 so that it can be moved laterally.
  • the mounting of the mouthpiece 17 via the connecting elements 39 and 41 can be seen on the right-hand side of FIG. 1 by omitting parts in front of it in the illustration.
  • the bracket is constructed in the same way on the left-hand side.
  • a packaging material blank 4 is fed in the arrow direction 43 in a conventional manner by means of a feed device, which is indicated in FIGS. 2 and 3 by two conveyor rollers 44.
  • the blank holder 3 the blank is positioned in a manner suitable for processing by being held transversely to the packaging web 8 between the mouthpieces 16 and 17 and resting on a support 46.
  • the support 46 is fastened on both sides to the lever arms 18a and 18b.
  • the blank 4 has a first long side surface 47, a second and a third long side surface 48 and 49, and a fourth long side surface 51 on both sides.
  • the size and arrangement of these long side faces correspond to the long sides of the articles 2 to be packaged.
  • a closing flap 52 connects to the third long side face 49 of the blank.
  • the blank On the face side, the blank has face faces 53 and 54 and also flaps 56.
  • the longitudinal side surfaces of the blank are separated from one another or from the closing flaps 52 by fold lines 57a to d.
  • the other surfaces of the blank to be folded over are also separated from one another by corresponding folding lines.
  • the cut can be pre-weakened along the fold lines, for example by means of scoring, in order to facilitate the folding of the cut.
  • FIG. 1 the fold lines, insofar as they are recognizable, are shown in dash-dot lines.
  • FIG. 2 shows the fold lines as thickened black dots on the blank 4.
  • the blank receptacle 3 is designed and arranged transversely to the packing web 8 in such a way that the first longitudinal side surface 47 of a blank positioned in the receptacle lies exactly in the path of movement of the article 2 to be packaged, so that when this article is pushed forward, its front longitudinal side 58 exactly matches the creates the first longitudinal side surface 47 of the blank.
  • the fold lines 57a and 57b which delimit this first longitudinal side surface 47 run in exact correspondence with fold edges 59a and 59b which are provided on the front side of the guide plates 23a and 23b of the mouthpiece 16.
  • the blank receptacle 3 is associated with a folding device 61 for pre-folding a blank 4 positioned in the receptacle on the fold lines 57 delimiting the longitudinal side surfaces before an article 2 is moved through the blank receptacle.
  • This folding device 61 has folding members in the form of folding plates 62 and 63.
  • the folding plates are fastened on both sides of the packing web 8 to angle levers 64a, 64b and 66a, 66b, which are pivotably mounted in the side frame of the machine about axes 67 and 68, respectively.
  • the pivot axes 67 and 68 of the angle levers 64 and 66 are aligned with the folding edges 59a and 59b of the mouthpiece 16.
  • couplers 69 and 71 the angle levers 64 and 66 are coupled to the angle lever 31, so that the pivoting movement of the folding plates 62 and 63 is also from the Control curve 33 is driven.
  • a folding strip 72 which runs parallel to the folding line 57c of the blank 4 and is fastened on both sides in the side frame 22 of the machine frame, also serves to bend the blank in the blank receptacle 3.
  • the view in FIG. 1 shows a part of the blank 4 and a part of the folding strip 72 shown broken to the arrangement and to show the course of the folding plate 62 and the upper fixed mouthpiece 38a in this area.
  • the support 46 holding the blanks 4 in the receptacle 3 is at the same time designed as a folding strip, the fold edge of which runs parallel to the fold line 57d of the blank 4 positioned in the receptacle 3.
  • a blank 4 is conveyed into the blank holder 3 by means of the feed rollers 44.
  • the movable mouthpiece 16 is pivoted into its right position, shown in FIG. 2, so that the receptacle 3 is open and accessible for cutting.
  • the support 46 provided on the lever arms 18a and 18b carrying the mouthpiece 16 is thereby also pivoted to the right, which facilitates the insertion of the blank.
  • the mouthpiece 16 is pivoted against the first longitudinal side surface 47 of the blank, so that its folded edges 59a and 59b rest against the fold lines 57a and 57b of the blank.
  • the axes 67 and 68 of the swivel levers 64 and 66 which carry the folding plates 62 and 63, are aligned both with the folding lines 57a and 57b of the blank and with the folding edges 59a and 59b of the mouthpiece 16.
  • the control cam 33 drives via the axis 29 the angle lever 31 and thus the coupling 69 and 71 in such a way that the folding plates 62 and 63 are pivoted through the cut receptacle 3 through to the mouthpiece 16, whereby they pre-fold the cut exactly at the fold lines 57a and 57b.
  • the radially outer longitudinal edge of the upper folding plate 62 describes a swivel arc 73 in the clockwise direction, which is shown in FIG. 2.
  • a similar swivel arc is described by the radially outer longitudinal edge of the lower folding plate 63 counterclockwise, which, however, is not shown for the sake of clarity in the drawing.
  • the folding plates rest with their front sides on the second and third longitudinal side surfaces 48 and 49 of the blank and, as shown in FIG. 3, move them over the folding edges 59a and 59b of the mouthpiece 16.
  • the radially outer longitudinal edges of the two folding plates 62 and 63 which run exactly at the height of the folding lines 57c and 57d of the blank, also act as folding edges.
  • the blank 4 is made on its fold lines 57c and 57d with the aid of the folding strip 72 or the rear of the folding strip which now acts as a folding strip Edition 46 pre-bent, as can be seen in Figure 3.
  • the pre-folding of the blank 4 by means of the folding plates 62 and 63 thus causes the blank to be pre-folded in the folding direction on the folding lines 57a and 57b delimiting the first longitudinal side surface 47 and on the folding lines 57c and 57d delimiting the adjacent longitudinal side surfaces 48 and 49 in the opposite direction to the folding direction .
  • the pre-folding opposite to the direction of impact is particularly important for the fourth longitudinal side surface 51 and the closing flap 52, because these together form the package closure, which benefits from the particular freedom from tension in the folding, which results from the pre-folding opposite to the direction of impact.
  • all longitudinal fold lines of the blank are pre-folded in a single operation, which leads to a very high-quality packaging of the article 2.
  • the pre-folding of the blanks with the folding plates 62 and 63 takes place without relative movement between the folded-over surfaces and the folding members. This results in special protection of the packaging material.
  • the article 2 held ready in the preparation station 1 is pushed by means of the slide 9 over the packing track 8 into the mouthpiece 16, where it lies against the first longitudinal side surface of the blank.
  • the blank is then placed around three long sides of the article, as is known and customary.
  • the article, which is wrapped on three sides, goes into the pocket 7 of the folding turret 6, where a ram 74 folds the flap 72 over the open back of the article.
  • the other folding processes are common practice and do not require any further description here.
