Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging machine, in particular for producing cigarette packs, with a plurality of interacting machine units, in particular folding turrets, cigarette magazine and conveying devices for cigarettes or packages, which are surrounded by a machine housing and / or interconnected unit housing, wherein a cabinet for receiving electrical control means, such as control members, electrical lines, etc. is connected to the machine housing to form a unit.
  • packaging machines are known in which the cabinet or a box-shaped unit for receiving electrical control elements with the packaging machine or its housing is connected to form a unit.
  • the control cabinet or a similar organ can be arranged inside the machine housing ( EP 0 294 251 B1 ).
  • a control cabinet can also be mounted laterally on the machine housing of the packaging machine and connected to the housing ( US 5,347,791 . DE 28 52 890 ).
  • the invention has for its object to improve a packaging machine in terms of the arrangement of a cabinet in conjunction with the machine housing, to the effect that on the one hand a greater amount of space of the cabinet for receiving electrical equipment created and on the other hand access to these electrical organs on the one hand and organs the packaging machine is guaranteed on the other hand.
  • the packaging machine according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • control cabinet has a geometrically complex shape, whereby, however, a larger total volume is created and access to all organs within the sub-cabinets is ensured. Furthermore, access to the organs of the packaging machine is ensured.
  • the exemplary embodiment shown in the drawings is a packaging machine 10 for the production of cigarette packs, in particular for soft-cup cigarette packs.
  • the packaging machine 10 is formed in a suitable, conventional manner. It consists of a plurality of cooperating machine aggregates. These are, in particular, folding turrets, at least one cigarette magazine and conveying elements for the transport of cigarette groups and completely or partially finished packages within the packaging machine 10. Details of such machine units are apparent, for example EP 210 544 and EP 226,872 ,
  • Packaging machines may be surrounded by a closed machine housing covering the entire packaging machine.
  • the machine housing consists of several interconnected aggregate housings, which are assigned to the individual machine units.
  • Fig. 1 and Fig. 3 In the region of the front side of the packaging machine 10, a revolver housing 11 for the folding turret, a magazine housing 12 for a cigarette magazine, and a conveyor housing 13 for a pocket chain for transporting cigarette groups from the cigarette Magazine for folding turret. To the turret housing 11 close to further unit housing, which form the machine housing in their entirety.
  • the machine units and other organs of the packaging machine 10 are associated with control elements, control means and drive members, which control the function of the machine units and organs and the interaction thereof.
  • These control devices and means are housed in a control cabinet 14.
  • the trained and positioned in a special way cabinet 14 is in its entirety, namely without the actual packaging machine 10, in Fig. 2 shown.
  • the cabinet 14 is connected to the packaging machine 10 to a unit. Furthermore, of importance is the shape, so external shape of the cabinet 14, taking into account the spatial conditions and the functions of the control organs and means.
  • the control cabinet 14 is, as far as given by the relative position, connected to the machine housing or with the unit housings 11, 12, 13.
  • the cabinet 14 consists of several differently shaped, but interconnected and contiguous sub cabinets and cabinet sections.
  • the cabinet 14 is designed in its entirety U-shaped ( Fig. 2 ).
  • Two spaced-apart, upright sub cabinets 15, 16 are connected to each other in the upper area by a transversely directed, elongated third sub-cabinet, namely a transverse cabinet 17.
  • the sub cabinets 15 on the one hand and 16 on the other hand are each open to the cabinet 17. Housing these sub cabinets 15, 16, 17 are connected to each other for example by screw in the region of inwardly directed flanges.
  • the two upright sub cabinets 15, 16 are positioned on opposite sides of the elongated packaging machine 10. In the present case, these sub cabinets 15, 16 but within the Grundriß Colours the packaging machine 10.
  • the transverse cabinet 17 extends above the packaging machine 10, in the present case at a considerable distance, so that the transverse cabinet 17 is free and accessible on all sides.
  • the upright sub cabinets 15, 16 are connected to parts of the machine housing in this area.
  • the sub cabinets 15, 16 and the cabinet 17 are in turn divided.
  • the sub cabinets 15 and 16 or at least the sub-cabinet 16 are provided with cabinet doors 18.
  • the cabinet door 18 is at the same time a part of the partial cabinet 16, namely designed as a box-shaped hollow body for receiving control means or control members.
  • the cabinet door 18 is connected via hinges (not shown) to the sub-cabinet 16.
  • Each sub-cabinet 15, 16, 17 may consist of several assembled cabinet sections.
  • the transverse cabinet 17 consists of a plurality of longitudinally juxtaposed cabinet sections 19, 20, 21.
  • the adjacent cabinet sections 19, 20, 21 are open to each other and connected to each other in the manner described.
  • Further cabinet sections may be arranged laterally next to one another, wherein the partial cabinets 15, 16, 17 may form recesses and projections, that is, may have an overall complex geometric external shape, depending on the reception of the control means and control elements or taking into account the predetermined by the packaging machine 10 Particularities.
  • the cabinet sections 19, 20, 21 are provided with pivotable flaps 22 in the present embodiment. These are in the example shown ( Fig. 3 ) is arranged on the rear side of the packaging machine 10. Each cabinet section 19, 20, 21 may be associated with a flap 22 which are pivotable about upper, horizontally extending hinges and thus ensure easy access to the contents of the cabinet sections 19, 20, 21.
  • the design and arrangement of the cabinet 14 allows further features regarding the accommodation of control means. As in particular from Fig. 2 can be seen, at the upper part of the cabinet, namely the transverse cabinet 17, an upright channel cabinet 23 is arranged. This is connected to one of the cabinet sections 19, 20, 21.
  • the channel cabinet 23 serves, for example, for receiving control lines, which lead to drive motors for the moving organs, such as folding turrets, conveyors, etc.
  • the electrical lines can emerge at a suitable location from the channel cabinet 23 and are supplied to the units to be controlled or driven in the region of the machine housing.
  • a fan housing 24 is attached to the outside of the cabinet door 18 of the sub-cabinet 16. This vented directly to the subsequent sub-cabinet 16, in which a transformer is arranged in the present example, which requires ventilation.
  • a main switch 25 is provided on the outside of the cabinet 16, with which the entire power supply of the packaging machine 10 can be switched off.
  • the main switch 25 is easily accessible due to its positioning.
  • control cabinet 14 allows accommodation of the control means and organs according to the assignment to the machine units.
  • the control means and organs may be housed in the cabinet 15, inter alia, the memory programmable controller (PLC), a main power supply and an emergency power supply via transformer, a safety relay and a controller for the edge control of webs.
  • the sub-cabinet 16 can receive on the inside of the cabinet door 18 control means 26, namely, for example, a motor protection switch, a frequency converter, terminals for the motors and motor contactors.
  • Control means 27 may be a main switch, main fuses, main-drive servo-controller, auxiliary-drive servo-controller, and servo-actuator contactors.
  • 17 Steuermitttel for nozzle gluing and other terminals can be arranged in the upper transverse cabinet.
  • the sub cabinets 15, 16, 17 extend the required electrical lines.
