Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Packvorrichtung für Beutel in Verpackungsbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 und ein Verfahren zum Verpacken von Beuteln in Verpackungsbehälter.The invention relates to a packaging device for bags in packaging containers according to the preamble of claim 1 and a method for packaging bags in Packaging containers.

Eine gattungsgemäße Packvorrichtung ist aus der DE 23 15 895 C2 bekannt Am Ende einer Abfüllablage für Folienbeutel werden diese zu Verpackungseinheiten zusammengefaßt und in Verpackungsbehälter, z.B. Kartons, für den Transport bzw. Verkauf verpackt. Als Beutel kommen z.B. Folienbeutel in Betracht, die nach ihrer Befüllung verschweißt und damit verschlossen werden. Zum automatischen Verpacken werden jeweils mehrere Beutel zu einer Gruppe in einer Reihe zusammengefaßt und in Aufnahmekammern einer Transporteinrichtung zu einer Abgabestation transportiert. An dieser Abgabestation wird jeweils eine Gruppe von Beuteln in Verpackungsbehälter abgeworfen, die von einer Fördereinrichtung unterhalb der Transporteinrichtung entlang geführt werden. Die Transporteinrichtung ist dabei umlaufend ausgestaltet. An einer der ersten Abgabestationen gegenüberliegenden zweiten Abgabestation wird eine zweite Gruppe von Beuteln in die Verpackungsbehälter abgeworfen, so daß die Verpackungsbehälter mit zwei Teilfüllungen gefüllt sind, wobei die Beutel einer jeden Teilfüllung untereinander gleich ausgerichtet sind.A generic packing device is known from DE 23 15 895 C2 at the end a filling tray for foil bags, these are combined into packaging units and in packaging containers, e.g. Cardboard boxes packed for transport or sale. The bags come e.g. Foil bags into consideration, which are sealed after filling and be closed with it. For automatic packaging several bags are grouped together in a row and in receiving chambers a transport device transported to a delivery station. At this Dispensing station a group of bags is dropped into packaging containers, which are guided along by a conveyor below the transport device become. The transport device is configured all around. On one of the first Dispensing stations opposite the second dispensing station become a second group dropped into the packaging container by bags, so that the packaging container are filled with two partial fillings, the bags of each partial fill being one below the other are aligned equally.

Bei der bekannten Packvorrichtung ist die Transportvorrichtung ein kreisförmiges Karussell. Die Aufnahmekammern für die Gruppen von Beuteln, die eine Teilfüllung eines Verpackungsbehälters bilden sollen, erstrecken sich im wesentlichen radial in diesem Karussell. Zwischen zwei benachbarten Aufnahmekammern entsteht auf diese Weise ein Winkel.In the known packing device, the transport device is a circular carousel. The receiving chambers for the groups of bags that are a partial filling of a Packaging container should form, extend substantially radially in this Carousel. This creates between two adjacent receiving chambers an angle.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es demgegenüber eine Packvorrichtung und ein Verfahren anzugeben, mit denen eine größere Anzahl von Beuteln in kürzerer Zeit in Verpakkungsbehälter abgefüllt werden können und damit die Effektivität und Wirtschaftlichkeit auf diese Weise erhöht wird. Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine gattungsgemäße Packvorrichtung, die die Merkmale des kennzeichnenden Teils des Anspruchs 1 aufweist, und ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 12 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Packvorrichtung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche. In contrast, the object of the invention is a packing device and a method Specify with which a larger number of bags in a shorter time in packaging containers can be filled and thus the effectiveness and economy is increased in this way. This task is accomplished by a generic packing device, having the features of the characterizing part of claim 1, and solved a method with the features of claim 12. Advantageous configurations the packing device according to the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Packvorrichtung ist die Fördereinrichtung derart ausgestaltet, daß mindestens zwei Verpackungsbehälter parallel nebeneinander transportiert werden können. Die umlaufende Transporteinrichtung weist im Bereich der Abgabestationen geradlinige Abschnitte auf, wobei in den geradlinigen Abgabeabschnitten jeweils mindestens zwei Abgabestationen nebeneinander angeordnet sind.In the packing device according to the invention, the conveying device is designed in such a way that that at least two packaging containers are transported in parallel can be. The rotating transport device points in the area of the delivery stations rectilinear sections, in each case in the rectilinear delivery sections at least two delivery stations are arranged side by side.

Die geradlinigen Abgabeabschnitte ermöglichen ein paralleles Abgeben von mindestens zwei Teilgruppen von Beuteln in gleicher Ausrichtung. Es können also jeweils zwei nebeneinander herangeführte Verpackungsbehälter gleichzeitig beschickt werden. Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung aus DE 23 15 895 C2 ist dagegen eine parallele Befüllung von verschiedenen Verpackungsbehältern nicht möglich, da zwischen den einzelnen Aufnahmekammern ein Winkel gebildet wird und dementsprechend die Ausrichtung der darin befindlichen Gruppen von Beuteln unterschiedlich ist Eine Abgabe in parallel von einer Fördereinrichtung unterhalb der Transporteinrichtung zugeführten Verpackungsbehälter ist daher nicht möglich oder nur mit hohem Konstruktionsaufwand zu realisieren.The rectilinear delivery sections allow at least parallel delivery two sub-groups of bags in the same orientation. So there can be two next to each other introduced packaging containers can be loaded at the same time. In the known device from DE 23 15 895 C2, however, is a parallel filling of different packaging containers not possible, because between the individual receiving chambers an angle is formed and accordingly the orientation of the groups of bags in it are different A delivery in parallel from a packaging device fed to a conveyor below the transport device is therefore not possible or can only be realized with a high level of design effort.

Vorteilhafterweise ist vorgesehen, daß je Verpackungsbehälter zwei Teilfüllungen und zwei gegenüberliegende geradlinige Abgabeabschnitte mit je mindestens zwei Abgabestationen vorgesehen sind, wobei in dem einen Abgabeabschnitt die jeweils ersten Teilfüllungen an die Verpackungsbehälter abgegeben werden und in dem anderen Abgabeabschnitt die jeweils zweiten Teilfüllungen. Auf diese Weise werden mit Hilfe einer Transporteinrichtung beide Teilfüllungen für einen Verpackungsbehälter von nur einer Transporteinrichtung abgegeben.It is advantageously provided that two partial fillings and two opposite straight-line delivery sections, each with at least two delivery stations are provided, the first in each of the discharge sections Partial fillings are delivered to the packaging container and in the other delivery section the second partial fillings. This way, with the help of a Transport device both partial fillings for a packaging container of only one Transport device delivered.

Dabei kann einfacherweise vorgesehen sein, daß in dem Abgabeabschnitt, der in Bewegungsrichtung der Transporteinrichtung auf die Aufgabestation folgt, aus jeder zweiten Aufnahmekammer, die in diesen aufgenommenen Beutel in einen Verpackungsbehälter abgegeben werden und die in den jeweils anderen Aufnahmekammern enthaltenen Beutel in dem gegenüberliegenden Abgabeabschnitt in einen anderen Verpakkungsbehälter abgegeben werden, der daraufhin mittels der Fördereinrichtung zum ersten Abgabeabschnitt befördert wird. It can simply be provided that in the discharge section, the in the direction of movement the transport device follows the loading station, every second Receiving chamber, the bags received in this in a packaging container are given and contained in the other reception chambers Bags in the opposite delivery section into another packaging container are delivered, which then by means of the conveyor to the first Delivery section is transported.

In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung können die Aufnahmekammern mehrere Beutel in einer Reihe aufnehmen und weisen eine Breite auf, die kleiner ist als die maximale Seitenausdehnung eines Beutels und größer als dessen minimale Seitenausdehnung. In der Regel weisen Folienbeutel eine in etwa rautenförmige Standfläche auf. In derartig ausgestalteten Aufnahmekammern richten sich solche Beutel schräg aus und verringern damit den Platzbedarf.In an advantageous embodiment, the receiving chambers can have several bags in one Record row and have a width that is smaller than the maximum side dimension of a bag and larger than its minimum side dimension. In the Foil bags generally have an approximately diamond-shaped base. In such a way Receiving chambers align such bags at an angle and reduce them thus the space requirement.

Einfacherweise können die Gruppen von Beuteln, die in einer Aufnahmekammer aufgenommen sind, durch Sternräder im äußeren Bereich der Transporteinrichtung auf ein gewünschtes Packmaß zusammengeschoben werden. Derartige Sternräder sind einfache mechanische und zuverlässige Konstruktionselemente. Die Sternräder können dabei in den geradlinigen Abschnitten der Transporteinrichtung vorgesehen sein oder den nichtgeradlinigen Abschnitten.Easily, the groups of bags that are accommodated in a receiving chamber are on by star wheels in the outer region of the transport device desired packing size can be pushed together. Such star wheels are simple mechanical and reliable construction elements. The star wheels can be provided in the rectilinear sections of the transport device or the non-rectilinear sections.

Weiterhin ist es vorteilhaft, wenn die Abgabestationen Abwurfmechanismen umfassen, mit deren Hilfe die Beutel einer Teilfüllung jeweils in darunter befindliche Verpackungsbehälter abgeworfen werden können, und wenn weiterhin Fallschächte unterhalb der Abgabestationen der Transporteinrichtungen vorgesehen sind, die derart ausgestaltet sind, daß die Beutel einer Teilfüllung lagerichtig in die darunter befindlichen Verpakkungsbehälter abgegeben werden. Ein Abwerfen der Beutel von der Transporteinrichtung in die darunter befindlichen Verpackungsbehälter stellt eine einfache Möglichkeit der Übergabe dar. Durch die Fallschächte ist gesichert, daß die Beutel lagerichtig zu liegen kommen.Furthermore, it is advantageous if the delivery stations include ejection mechanisms, with the help of the bags of a partial filling each in the packaging container below can be dropped, and if fall chutes below the Delivery stations of the transport devices are provided, which are configured in this way are that the bags of a partial filling in the correct position in the packaging container below be delivered. Ejecting the bags from the transport device in the packaging container underneath provides an easy way the handover. The chutes ensure that the bags are in the correct position come.

Vorteilhafterweise wird das Abgeben der Beutel mit Hilfe von Ausstoßvorrichtungen unterstützt, die die Beutel aus den Aufnahmekammern in die darunter befindlichen Verpackungsbehälter stoßen.The dispensing of the bags is advantageously supported with the aid of ejection devices, the bags from the receiving chambers into the packaging containers underneath bump.

Die Transporteinrichtung kann als Endlosband in der Art eines Gliederbandes aufgebaut sein, wobei die einzelnen Glieder die Aufnahmekammern tragen. Gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist andererseits eine Schiene vorgesehen, in der Halterungen für die Aufnahmekammern eingreifen, die in der Schiene umlaufen. Die Halterungen können an verschiedenen Stellen der Aufnahmekammern angreifen, vorteilhafterweise jedoch an der Rückseite einer jeden Aufnahmekammer. Auf diese Weise wird erreicht, daß die einzelnen Aufnahmekammern sich im Bereich der nicht geradlinigen Abschnitte auffächem und sich nicht gegenseitig behindern.The transport device can be constructed as an endless belt in the manner of a link belt be, with the individual links carry the receiving chambers. According to an advantageous On the other hand, a rail is provided in the holders for engage the receiving chambers that circulate in the rail. The brackets can attack at different points in the receiving chambers, but advantageously at the back of each reception chamber. In this way it is achieved that the individual receiving chambers are in the area of the non-rectilinear sections fan out and not hinder each other.

Die Ausrichtung der zwei Abgabestationen des ersten Abgabeabschnittes 8 ist dabei bezüglich der darunter entlang bewegten Verpackungsbehälter 12 derart, daß im ersten Abgabeabschnitt 8 jeweils die zweite Teilfüllung 5 in den entsprechenden Bereich 12a der Verpackungsbehälter 12 abgegeben wird. Figur 1 zeigt den Abgabeabschnitt 8 in einem Zustand kurz vor dem Abgeben der Folienbeutel aus den Aufnahmekammern 13a.The film bags 3 are introduced into the receiving chambers 13 in the loading station 7. For this purpose, they are e.g. with the help of a conveyor belt transported into the receiving chambers 13. The bags 3 can e.g. Foil bags for Drinks to be filled in a previous station and sealed by welding the top edge were closed. The receiving chambers 13 have a width that it allows the foil pouch to be oriented in an oblique orientation, as in the Fig. 1 is shown. In the example shown there are in each receiving chamber five foil bags. The transport device 1 is operated in cycles. From the star wheels 6 the bags are compressed to their pack size in the receiving chamber. In the first discharge section 8, the second, fourth, sixth, ... receiving chamber 13a emptied. For this purpose, the bottom surfaces of the receiving chambers 13a are currently in the first delivery section 8, opened. Thereby, each work cycle two receiving chambers emptied. Moved below the transport device the conveyor 2 in the linear direction 10. In the same cycle as the transport device 1, 2 packaging containers are parallel to each other by the conveyor 2 12 transported below the first delivery section. The alignment of the two delivery stations of the first delivery section 8 is below that packaging container 12 moved along such that in the first delivery section 8 each the second partial filling 5 in the corresponding area 12a of the packaging container 12 is delivered. Figure 1 shows the dispensing section 8 in a short state before the film bags are discharged from the receiving chambers 13a.

Die Aufnahmekammern 13, von denen im Anschluß an den ersten Abgabeabschnitt 8 noch die erste, dritte, fünfte, ... 13b gefüllt sind, werden von der Transporteinrichtung 1 weiter zum zweiten Abgabeabschnitt 9 verbracht Die Fördereinrichtung 2 bringt leere Verpackungsbehälter unterhalb des ersten Abgabeabschnittes 8. Dort werden die noch nicht entleerten Aufnahmekammern 13b in den Bereich 12b der Verpackungsbehälter 12 abgegeben, die der ersten Teilfüllung entsprechen. Dazu werden die Bodenbereiche der Aufnahmekammern 13b geöffnet, die sich gerade in dem zweiten Abgabeabschnitt 9 befinden. Figur 1 zeigt den Zustand des Abgabeabschnittes 9 kurz vor dem Abgeben der Folienbeutel aus den Aufnahmekammern 13b. Die Fördereinrichtung 2 fördert dann die auf diese Weise zur Hälfte gefüllten Verpackungsbehälter 12 zum ersten Abgabeabschnitt 8, in dem die zweite Teilfüllung 5, wie oben erläutert, eingebracht wird.The receiving chambers 13, of which following the first discharge section 8 still the first, third, fifth, ... 13b are filled by the transport device 1 continued to the second delivery section 9 The conveyor 2 brings empty Packaging container below the first delivery section 8. There are still not emptied receiving chambers 13b in the area 12b of the packaging container 12 delivered, which correspond to the first partial filling. To do this, the floor areas of the receiving chambers 13b which are just in the second discharge section 9 are located. FIG. 1 shows the state of the delivery section 9 shortly before delivery the film bag from the receiving chambers 13b. The conveyor 2 then promotes the packaging containers 12 half-filled in this way to the first delivery section 8, in which the second partial filling 5, as explained above, is introduced.

Fig. 2 zeigt den zweiten Abgabeabschnitt 9. In dem gezeigten zweiten Abgabeabschnitt 9 werden die Aufnahmekammern 13b entleert. Durch einen Mechanismus 24 wird im entsprechenden Takt der Fördereinrichtung 2 bzw. der Transporteinrichtung 1 jeweils Fallschächte 23 bedient, die ein lagerichtiges Herunterfallen der Beutel 3 gewährleisten. Gleichzeitig werden die Bodenbereiche der Aufnahmekammer 13b, die sich gerade in dem Abgabeabschnitt 9 befinden, durch einen nicht weiter interessierenden Mechanismus geöffnet. Ein solcher Mechanismus kann z.B. mit Hilfe einer Führungskulisse für die Bodenbereiche der Aufnahmekammern oder durch einen elektromagnetischen Verschluß erreicht werden. Beim gezeigten Beispiel sind als Fallschächte Rutschen vorgesehen, die die Beutel in den entsprechenden Bereichen 12b für die erste Teilfüllung 4 der Verpackungsbehälter 12 ablegt. Figur 2 zeigt den Abgabeabschnitt 9 kurz nach der Abgabe der Folienbeutel in die Bereiche 12b der Verpackungsbehälter. Das Abwerfen kann z.B. durch einen nichtgezeigten Ausstoßmechanismus unterstützt werden, der in den Abgabestationen von oben in die Aufnahmekammern eingreift und die Folienbeutel 5 nach unten ausstößt.Fig. 2 shows the second delivery section 9. In the second delivery section shown 9, the receiving chambers 13b are emptied. By a mechanism 24 is in corresponding cycle of the conveyor 2 or the transport device 1 each Drop chutes 23 are operated, which ensure that the bags 3 drop in the correct position. At the same time, the bottom areas of the receiving chamber 13b, which are just in the discharge section 9, by a mechanism of no further interest open. Such a mechanism can e.g. with the help of a management backdrop for the Bottom areas of the receiving chambers or by an electromagnetic lock can be achieved. In the example shown, slides are provided as chutes, the bags in the corresponding areas 12b for the first partial filling 4th the packaging container 12 deposits. Figure 2 shows the dispensing section 9 shortly after the Delivery of the foil bags into the areas 12b of the packaging container. Throwing can e.g. are supported by an ejection mechanism, not shown, which is in the delivery stations engages from above in the receiving chambers and the film bag 5 after ejects below.

Der zweite Teilbereich 12a eines jeden Verpackungsbehälters 12 wird in dem ersten Abwurfabschnitt 8 befüllt. Im Anschluß an die gezeigte Packvorrichtung werden beim gezeigten Beispiel die einzelnen Verpackungsbehälter 12 zusammengeklappt, so daß ein Verpackungsbehälter 12 zwei Reihen von je fünf Folienbeuteln enthält, die nebeneinander angeordnet sind. Sind die zwei Seitenflächen der Folienbeutel 3 unterschiedlich, z.B. durch einen entsprechenden Aufdruck, so ist durch die gegenüberliegende Anordnung der Abwurfabschnitte 8 und 9 gewährleistet, daß in beiden Bereichen 12a und 12b der Verpackungsbehälter 12 die gleiche Seitenfläche der jeweiligen Folienbeutel 3 nach außen zeigt.The second portion 12a of each packaging container 12 is in the first Discharge section 8 filled. Following the packing device shown at shown example, the individual packaging container 12 folded so that a packaging container 12 contains two rows of five foil bags each side by side are arranged. If the two side surfaces of the film bag 3 are different, e.g. by a corresponding imprint, so is by the opposite Arrangement of the discharge sections 8 and 9 ensures that in both areas 12a and 12b, the packaging container 12 has the same side surface of the respective film bag 3 points outwards.

Um die einzelnen Beutel 3 in der jeweiligen Aufnahmekammer 13 auf das gewünschte Packmaß zusammenzudrücken, sind im Außenbereich der Transporteinrichtung 1 Sternräder 6 vorgesehen, die in die einzelnen Aufnahmekammern 13 eingreifen können und die Beutel dort in gewünschter Weise zusammendrücken können. Beim gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel befinden sich die Sternräder 6 in den Umlenkbereichen vor den jeweiligen Abgabeabschnitten 8, 9. Je nach Anforderung können jedoch beliebig viele Sternräder an verschiedenen Stellen im Außenbereich der Transporteinrichtung 1 vorgesehen sein.To the individual bags 3 in the respective receiving chamber 13 to the desired Pack size must be pressed together in the outer area of the transport device 1 Star wheels 6 are provided which can engage in the individual receiving chambers 13 and compress the bags there in the desired manner.
