Definitions

  • the subject of the present invention is a boxing device, including lots of bottles, in a corrugated box, by example of American type, or as described in the patent application FR-9814607.
  • the present invention provides a device for cashing batches of bottles, semi-automatic or automatic, allowing the introduction of bottles in a crate without the need to lift them. These measures allows in particular to make the operation less painful, while increasing the rate of casing, and especially this device finds an application in small and medium size units.
  • the invention relates to a device for cashing lots of objects, in particular bottles, in a corrugated cardboard box, provided lower and possibly upper flaps, characterized in that it includes a feed conveyor, which feeds part of the object power plant equipped with isolation means, and means for closing the lower and upper body flaps combined with means evacuation.
  • the isolation means are produced by an island capable of pivoting, arranged in extension and at the same height as the feed conveyor, and attached to the upper end of an axis vertical pivoting with respect to the frame.
  • the island comprises detection means produced by a plate, arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement of the objects, and fixed on a lever arm capable of pivoting about an axis substantially vertical, said plate comprising an indexing finger capable of to immobilize in rotation the island, and said lever arm being immobilized in rotation by a spring.
  • the device comprises means for indexing the body to position the fold lines of the lower flaps substantially at the bottom of the bottles.
  • the means for closing the flaps comprise a first set of stops arranged at the outlet of the island, a second set of stops, arranged opposite the first, and they also include a movable stop capable of pushing a movable part of the island in order to allow folding of the flap placed in front of it.
  • the first and second sets of stops include each a first stop capable of folding the flap placed facing it, and two stops that form a "V" and can bend the flaps corresponding, the second assembly being provided with means for adjusting the distance from the first.
  • the evacuation means are produced by a lever, provided with a pusher, fixed on a horizontal axis pivoting by relative to the frame, the pivoting of the lever in a substantially vertical plane allowing to evacuate the box using said pusher.
  • the lever carries the movable stop.
  • the feed conveyor comprises means of distribution of the alternative type, in particular in the form of a diabolo, in sort of orient the objects in two queues.
  • a device 100 for cashing in a box 10 is shown in Figures 1 and 2. It allows for example to crate a lot of six bottles.
  • This casing device 100 is capable of using different types corrugated boxes, for example American boxes, or boxes as described in patent application FR-9814607.
  • the body 10 comprises lower flaps 501, 502, 503, 504, and upper flaps 521, 522, 523, 524, visible on the Figures 3A to 3G, which respectively form the bottom and top of the body once closed.
  • the box 10 may not have a top, and in this case the upper flaps 521, 522, 523, 524 are deleted
  • This casing device 100 is preferably placed at the end of bottling line 102, and includes a first belt conveyor 104, a central part 106, and possibly a second belt conveyor 108 outlet, not shown, perpendicular to the first, the assembly being disposed on a platform 110 adjustable in height by means 112 adjustment, which allows adaptation to all bottling chains.
  • the feed conveyor 104 by means 114 of deflection, collect the bottles coming out of the bottling line, in order to bring them towards the central part 106.
  • a dead plate 115 arranged at height ensures continuity of a conveyor the other.
  • This feed conveyor 104 comprises means 116 for distribution that allow for equitable distribution on either side of a central partition 118 the bottles. Possibly, this distribution of each side of the central partition 118 can be done automatically, by accumulation of bottles on the conveyor 104.
  • these distribution means 116 are made by an alternative device called “sculler” 120 in the form of a diabolo, arranged on the median axis of the conveyor 104, pivoting about a vertical axis 122, which alternately orients the bottles on one of the two lines 124 and 125.
  • the scraper 120 pivots in a first sense, which frees the passage of the bottle 127 and which blocks the bottle 128.
  • the scraper pivots in the other direction, which blocks the passage of the bottle 129 and which authorizes the passage of the bottle 128.
  • the central part 106 comprises a frame 130 surrounded by a casing 132 of ovoid shape, means 134 of isolation produced by a central island of circular shape, and means 136 for closing the upper flaps and lower body 10.
  • the frame 130 produced from a mechanically welded structure, is fixed to the platform 110.
  • the frame 130 can be made from a monocoque resin structure.
  • the casing 132 is symmetrical according to a central axis 138, in order to make it reversible, it comprises in the center a 140 circular opening capable of receiving island 134, on each side a clearance 142 for fixing the feed conveyor 104, and a slot 144 likely to let go of a lever.
  • Island 134 arranged as an extension and at the same height as the feed conveyor 104, is fixed to the upper end of an axis 146 vertical, mounted for rotation relative to the frame 130.
  • Means 149 for indexing the height of the body 10 are provided in at least one of the slots 147, and preferably in the two slots 147, in order to position the fold lines of the lower flaps substantially at the level of the bottom of the bottles.
  • These height indexing means 149 can be made by stops, arranged in the slots 147, and on which are likely to bear the lower flaps 501, and 503, as illustrated in figure 3G.
  • Island 134 is capable of isolating a lot of six bottles, by pivoting automatically by a quarter turn thanks to a mechanical actuator 150 spring or cylinder type, which tends to rotate the island 134 in one direction, the clockwise 151 as illustrated in FIG. 3A.
  • the island 134 comprises at the bottom, a fixed part 152 and a movable part 154 capable of taking two positions, one retracted into the fixed part 152 in order to allow the folding of a lower flaps, and the other outlet by means of elastic return means.
  • the island 134 is also provided with detection means 156, illustrated on FIG. 3A, which authorizes the pivoting of a quarter turn of the island 134, when six bottles are combined.
  • These detection means 156 comprise a plate 158, arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement of the bottles, fixed on an arm lever 160 which can pivot about a substantially vertical axis 162.
  • This plate 158 which blocks the bottles, includes a finger indexing 164 which immobilizes in rotation the island 134 by resting on a flanges 148.
  • a spring 166 allows, if the pressure the two rows of bottles on island 134 is insufficient, immobilize the lever arm 160 in rotation and prohibit any movement of plate 158.
  • the other bottles on the feed conveyor 104 continue to push the batch of six bottles.
  • the two bottles arranged against the plate 156 then exert sufficient pressure to overcome the return force of the spring 166, and make the lever arm 160 pivot. then, the indexing finger 164 no longer retains the island which pivots under the effect of mechanical actuator 1 50.
  • the frame 130 includes evacuation means 168 which include a lever 170, provided with a push-button 172 and an operating handle 174.
  • the lever 170 which passes through the slot 144 formed in the casing 132, is mounted to pivot in a substantially vertical plane around an axis 175 horizontal, arranged in the lower part of the frame 130. This lever makes it possible to evacuate the box 10 filled in the direction of the second conveyor 108 thanks to the pusher 172.
  • the central part 106 also includes the means 136 for closing of the lower and upper flaps of the box 10 constituted by a first set 176 of fixed stops, a second set 178 of stops fixed, and a movable stop 180.
  • the first set 176 arranged between the island 134 and the second conveyor 108, is capable of closing three of the lower flaps.
  • the second set 178 arranged opposite the first together 176, is likely to close three of the top flaps of the body 10. It comprises means 182 for adjusting relative to the first together 176 to vary the spacing.
  • stops 186, 188 which form a "V" and which are capable of bending the flaps arranged in the slots 147.
  • the shapes of the first set 176 of stops are preformed on the casing 132, and obtained by molding.
  • the movable stop 180 capable of pivoting about an axis 190 linked to an extension 192 perpendicular and integral with the lever 170, is provided with rolling means 194 in order to follow a cam path 196, visible on FIG. 3G, produced by the contour of the cam 196.
  • Means 200 for reminder for example a spring, are interposed between the lever 170 and the part upper of the movable stop 180, in order to keep it in a position substantially horizontal as illustrated in Figure 2, which allows it in particular to be able to bypass the cam 196.
  • a plate 202 disposed between the movable stop 180 and a body flap, can pivot about a horizontal axis 203 linked to the frame 130, so that its free lower end 204 is likely to push the movable part 154 of the island 134, and that one of its side faces 206 is capable of folding said flap, as illustrated in the Figures 3C to 3G.
  • the central part includes means 208 for pivoting a quarter turn of the island 134, in the direction opposite of the mechanical actuator 150.
  • pivoting means 208 comprise an actuator 210 integral with the axis of rotation 175 of the lever 170, and means 212 of selection of the alternative pivoting of island 134, integral with the axis of pivot 146 of the island.
  • These means 212 for selecting the pivoting consist of a first plate 214 secured to the axis 146, and a second plate 216, attached to the first, which can pivot around an axis 218, vertical, integral of the first plate 214, elastic return means 220 making it possible to press the second plate 216 against the first 214.
  • the actuator 210 bears against the second plate 216 which can pivot around axis 218, without rotating axis 146 by pivoting of the island. From a certain angle of rotation, the actuator 210 escapes the second plate 216 which returns to bear against the first plate 214 under the effect of the elastic return means 220. So when the lever is actuated in the direction indicated by arrow 224, the actuator 210 bears against the second plate 216, and drives it in rotation. In this direction of rotation the second plate 216 is pressed against the first plate 212 that it rotates as well as the pivot axis 146 of the island.
  • the different elements of the pivoting means 208 are arranged and dimensioned in such a way that the island rotates a quarter of a turn during the lever operation 170.
  • the island 134 pivots a quarter turn to return to its original position as shown in Figure 1, to isolate again a lot of six bottles.
  • the boxing device 100 can also be equipped with a magazine 230, shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1, in which the blanks of the boxes are stored, and a device 232 for closing the boxes using adhesive tapes, also shown in dotted lines on the figure 1.
  • the bottles from a bottling line 102 are diverted to the feed conveyor 104 of the casing device 100, where they are then distributed over the two queues 124, 125 by means 116 of distribution, visible in Figure 1.
  • the bottles on the first conveyor are transported towards island 134 where they are grouped by six, as shown in the figure 3A.
  • the island performs a quarter turn to isolate a batch of six bottles, as shown in Figure 3B.
  • the operator puts on a box 10, with the bottom flaps 501, 502, 503, 504 facing downwards, and the upper flaps 521, 522, 523, 524 facing upwards, the flap 504 being disposed facing the movable stop 180, the flaps 501 and 503 being introduced into the slots 147, as shown in Figure 3C.
  • the indexing means 149 allow automatic positioning the fold lines of the lower flaps substantially at the bottom of the bottles.
  • the necks of the bottles ensure the prepositioning of the case 10 compared to the batch of bottles, making it easier the introduction of box 10, even if it is perfectly adjusted lot of bottles.
  • the plate 202 has finished folding the flap 504, the part mobile 154 is retracted into the fixed part 152, and the pusher 172 comes in contact against the body 10. In this position, the plate 202 ensures the support for the bottles above it.
  • the filled crate 10 begins to be evacuated using push-button 172, the movable stop 180 slides below the island 134 in slightly pivoting about its axis 190.
  • the plate 202 and the part mobile 154 return to their initial position. In this position, the effort exerted by the return means 200 on the stop 180 is greater than the weight of said stopper, so that the latter does not pivot fully, but slides against the underside of island 134.
  • the body is evacuated by the pusher 172.
  • the stop mobile continues to slide under the island 134, the recall means 200 having tends to rotate it clockwise.
  • the flaps 502 and 522 are folded using the stops 184, then the stops 186, 188 close the flaps 501, 503, 521, 523.
  • This boxing device described above is semi-automatic, for get the automatic version the operator actions are replaced by mechanical actuators known to those skilled in the art.
  • the operator can rotate the island 134, the mechanical actuator 150 is then deleted as well as the means 156 for detection and the means 208 for pivoting.
  • the boxing device of the invention is obviously not limited to embodiment shown and described above but covers all variants notably with regard to the number of insulated bottles, the body used, as well as the shape and arrangement of the different elements.
