Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for feeding packaging sleeves into a filling machine for filling liquid food in multi-layer composite packages, the filling machine having a plurality of filling lines running in parallel.
- Multi-layer composite packs in particular cuboid multi-layer composite packs, are generally known in particular as sales units for beverages. Due to their favorable energy balance, they are increasingly prevailing against beverage bottles, including reusable beverage bottles.
- these cuboid multilayer composite packs there are those which are made from a tube and are only separated after filling, and others which are made from pack blanks provided with folding grooves and glued together to form a packing jacket. The finished packaging base is only produced immediately before filling.
- Filling machines for filling liquid foods in such multilayer composite packages are known from DE 41 42 167 C2. These known filling machines have a number of magazines corresponding to the number of filling lines for feeding the packaging sleeves. Since the filling machines are regularly at the bottler's, they are made according to the wishes of the bottler printed, pre-manufactured packaging sleeves are first packaged at the manufacturer of the packaging, a predetermined number of packaging sleeves folded flat on one another being transported to the bottler in a package which is held together by a carton as outer packaging. It goes without saying that with this type of transport the available transport space can be used almost 100%. The individual boxes with the packing jacket packages contained therein are stacked on Euro pallets in order to facilitate or accelerate the loading and unloading of the trucks.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a device for feeding packaging sleeves into such a filling machine for filling liquid foodstuffs in multi-layer composite packs, which relieves the operator and reliably ensures a semi-automatic or even fully automatic feeding of the packaging jacket packs.
- a manipulator for gripping a packet of packaging sleeves and transferring them to a specific filling line, the manipulator being movable in the horizontal plane parallel and perpendicular to the filling lines and means for gripping and transferring the packages.
- the packages no longer have to be fed to the individual magazines of the different filling lines, but only to the manipulator, which then takes over the distribution of the packages into the respective least filled magazines depending on the actual magazine filling.
- the manipulator has a driving unit which can be moved longitudinally on at least one rail parallel to the filling lines.
- the manipulator expediently has a swivel unit which can be swiveled in a horizontal plane relative to the aforementioned drive unit. In this way, the packages can be pivoted sideways during feeding to the magazines of the individual filling lines in order to feed the package just held by the manipulator to the respective magazine.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that at least two hinged clamping plates are provided on the filling machine side as a means for gripping, which press the lateral front edges of a package against a pressing die acting on the other end of the package. In this way it is reliably ensured that the - initially compressible - package is compressed so strongly that it can be handled safely by the manipulator.
- a further preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the pivot unit is articulated parallel to the driving unit by means of two feed arms arranged one behind the other.
- the pivot unit is articulated parallel to the driving unit by means of two feed arms arranged one behind the other.
- advantageously only one of the swivel arms is driven and the other swivel arm is forcibly coupled to this rotationally driven first swivel arm. This can reliably prevent a malfunction with regard to the parallelism of the swivel unit from occurring in the dead center from the starting movement.
- Known construction elements such as chains, belts or the like can be used as a forced coupling. serve.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the device is preceded by a memory for receiving a plurality of packets.
- the storage has a number of storage spaces which has the number of filling lines and which can each accommodate a plurality of packaging jacket packs. It is particularly expedient if these storage spaces extend vertically, so that the packages to be fed can be transferred from below to the manipulator, which is located in the plane of the filling lines.
- the storage spaces expediently have a plurality of movable storage units for receiving the packets.
- a device for depalletizing is connected upstream of the device and / or that the device has means for removing the outer carton of a package jacket package.
- FIG. 1 shows the device according to the invention in side view
- Fig. 3 shows the device according to the invention in a schematic, three-dimensional representation
- Fig. 4 shows the actual transfer process of a package jacket package in individual step representations.
- the device according to the invention has a manipulator 1, which essentially consists of a driving unit 2, which can be moved on rails 3 running parallel to the filling lines F of the filling machine (only indicated) and a swivel unit 4.
- the filling machine has four filling lines F.
- the structure of the actual manipulator 1 is clearly shown in FIG. 3.
- the movements of drive unit 2 and swivel unit 4 are shown schematically with the double arrows shown there.
- the exact position of the manipulator 1 is determined by means of only indicated travel meters and reported to the microprocessor controlling the feed.
- the swivel unit 4 has, on the filling machine side, two hinged clamping plates 5 which press the lateral front edges of the package P against a press die 6 acting on the other end of the package P.
- this press stamp 6 is designed to be longitudinally displaceable in the direction of the filling line F relative to the pivot unit 4 of the manipulator 1.
- two pivot arms 7 and 7 'arranged one behind the other in the feed direction are provided in the illustrated and preferred exemplary embodiment.
- the rotation of the swivel arm 7 is carried out directly by one not designated rotary motor. So that there are no problems with respect to the rotation from or over the dead center position, both swivel arms 7 and 7 'are forcibly coupled by a transmission means which is not specified in any more detail. In this way, a reliable parallel pivoting of the pivot unit 4 is ensured.
- FIG. 1 and 2 also show that the device according to the invention is preceded by a memory 8 for receiving a plurality of packets P.
- the store 8 expediently has vertically extending storage spaces A, B, C, D, each of which can accommodate a plurality of pack-shell packets P.
- Each storage space A, B, C, D has storage units 9 arranged one above the other, so that the packets P located there can be fed to the manipulator 1 from below. It can quickly be seen that a series operation of the filling machine is possible due to the provision of a memory 8, without an operator constantly having to insert packets P into the magazine M of the filling machine. The operator is therefore available for longer periods of time for other tasks.
- the schematic top view of the package P carried by the manipulator 1 and the corresponding magazine M of the filling machine is shown, the illustration being limited to a single filling line for the sake of clarity.
- the package P is held by the swivel unit, not shown, by the clamping plates 5 and the press ram 6 located thereon, and it is fed in the direction of the arrow onto the magazine M of the filling machine.
- the last packing sleeves (on the left side) are secured against tipping over by clamping plates 10 belonging to magazine M. Since packing sleeves are continuously removed on the right-hand side, the clamping plates 10 move to the right in accordance with the removal speed.
- a path meter 11 indicates when a predetermined minimum fill level of the magazin M has been reached.
- This manipulated variable is processed by a microprocessor and ensures that the swivel unit with the clamped package P moves up to the magazine M, as shown in the second step.
- the two pairs of clamping plates 5, 6 are locked together by bolts 12, which are only shown schematically, and the clamping plates 5, 10 are pivoted out of the area of the packing sleeves, as shown in step 3.
- the press ram 6 ensures the necessary tracking of the packing sleeves into the magazine M.
- the press ram 6 is designed to be longitudinally movable relative to the swivel unit 4 of the manipulator 1.
- step 3 it can further be seen that after the press ram 6 provides for the further transport of the refilled packing sleeves, the driving unit 2 is retracted so far that the pairs of clamping plates 5, 10 come to a standstill in the outermost (left) position of the magazine M. This position is shown in step 4. There, the swivel flaps 10 are then swiveled back into the cross section of the packing jacket and accepted the backward hold of the packaging sleeves located in magazine M, as can be clearly seen in step 4. This relieves the pressure on the punch 6 and unlocks the clamping plates 5 from the clamping plates 10, so that the entire swivel unit 4 can be moved away from the magazine M to receive the next package P.
- the distance meter 11 which is available for each magazine of the existing filling lines F, ensures that - in conjunction with a suitably programmed microprocessor - the "empty" magazine is always supplied with the next package jacket package P provided by the manipulator 1 .
