Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for inserting Products in a packaging container in a packaging machine, with one over a certain distance parallel to the products guided push rod and a covering tongue, by means of a 1st motion control above the Products prepositioned and by means of a 2nd motion control can be lowered to the products, the insertion plunger and the cover tongue together one the products Carry out insertion movement into the container.
  • Devices of said construction generally find use in continuous packaging machines, for example, equipped with a product chain are on which the products to be packed like tubes, bottles or also transported stacks of blister pack strips become.
  • Parallel to the product chain are containers, such as folding cartons, in which the products may be inserted are to be inserted together with a prospectus. This happens with the help of push-in tappets, which are in the main conveying direction also parallel by means of a chain conveyor be moved to the product chain and for insertion a Insertion movement perpendicular to its main conveying direction To run.
  • the movement of the cover tongue exactly to the size of the products to be inserted is tuned. If the cover tongue is too early on the stack of pack strips is deposited and on its top is moved under pressure without the stack side supported, it may happen that the top packing strip is shifted, creating the desired stack shape no longer exists and the stack is no longer in the container can be inserted.
  • the height of the covering tongue or whose lowering and raising movement is via a formed in an adjustable frame part curved path controlled, in which a rotatable about a horizontal axis, the altitude of the covering tongue defining cam roller rotates. Upon reaching a vertical lower-lying section the curved path becomes the cam roller and thus also lowered the cover. In a vertically rising Section of the curved path, the cover tongue is accordingly raised above the cam roller.
  • the invention is based on the object, a device of the said type, which provides a precise filing of the Cover tongue ensures and easy conversion to different product formats.
  • This object is achieved with a device for inserting products into a packaging container solved in that the 2nd movement control a substantially vertical control surface and a the control surface tapping and thereby horizontally adjustable element having, wherein the horizontal adjustment movement of the element via a transfer device in the vertical lowering movement the cover tongue is implemented.
  • the invention also goes from the fundamental consideration off, delivering the cover tongue to the products, i.e. the positioning above the product stack on the one hand and the lowering movement of the cover tongue on the product stack on the other hand by independent motion controls perform. Because with a format change itself in usually only the height of the product stack changes while the delivery movement remains at least approximately the same in a format change only in the second motion control be intervened.
  • the lowering and raising movement of the covering tongue is according to the invention not by a vertically changing course a horizontal control surface, but by a horizontally changing course of a vertical control surface reached.
  • Due to the vertical control surface is the the control surface tapping element that is at a cam roller can act around a vertical axis is rotatable, horizontally adjusted.
  • This horizontal adjustment movement the cam follower is moved over the transfer device in particular in the form of a simple transmission in one implemented vertical lowering and lifting the Abdeckzunge.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that it at a Format adjustment is therefore only necessary, the Control surface in the machine horizontally along a guide to shift, which is essential for a user easier to achieve than a vertical boost entire frame part.
  • the control surface also removed by pulling out of the machine and be replaced.
  • Control surface is given if this at a format change adjustable adjusting plate is formed, whose Surface or surface structure by means of the cam roller is tapped. In a format change must therefore only the adjustment plate can be adjusted.
  • the Conversion device has an oblique linear guide, the in particular from one to the horizontal and the Vertical inclined executive staff can be formed.
  • the second motion control has a control part, the vertically adjustable together with the covering tongue as a unit and is horizontally displaceable relative to this and that on the control part, the tapping the control surface Cam roller is mounted.
  • the essentially horizontal Delivery movement of the cover tongue in the position above the product stack can thus be carried out without the control part is moved, as this relative to the covering tongue is horizontally displaceable.
  • the control part controls the vertical lowering movement of the cover tongue and For this purpose, grasp the control surface by means of the cam roller from. Due to the oblique linear guide can Control part of the horizontal shape of the control surface or follow the adjustment and learns at the same time a vertical adjustment, which changes the starting position for the lowering movement of the control part and thus can change the cover.
  • About the angle of the inclined Command staff can be the ratio between the horizontal and vertical adjustment movement of the Preset control parts, preferably an angle of 45 ° is provided, so that the two Verstellschulsanteile are the same.
  • the delivery or Pre-positioning movement of the cover controls is a in the direction of the products sliding Vorschubschubwagen provided, which is movable via a control cam and a carries vertical guide rod on which the cover tongue and the control part are mounted vertically adjustable.
  • the cover tongue should be in the manner mentioned from above place the product or stack of packaging strips and this with a suitable, usually relative apply low pressure force.
  • This pressure force can either caused by the weight of the covering tongue but may also be provided be that the covering tongue in the resting on the products Position is biased by a spring.
  • a device for inserting the products 4 in the Folding box 2 comprises a base 22 in which two spaced ones Transport chains 14 extend in the main conveying direction. Between the transport chains 14, a horizontal extends Guide rod 19, at its ends, each of one of the transport chains 14 are supported, one each Bearing block 10 and 20 carries. At the on the products 4 opposite side of the guide rod 19 arranged bearing block 20 is a linear guide in the form of an obliquely arranged Guide rod 23 attached, located under a Angle of 45 ° upwards and towards the products 4 extends.
  • a feed carriage 11 longitudinally displaceable, which is a vertical guide rod 9 carries, which at its lower end a leadership role 9a possesses, with a not shown Control cam is in contact.
  • the control curve can the pre-insertion carriage 11 when passing through the packaging machine in a predetermined manner along the horizontal guide rod 19 are moved.
  • a longitudinally or vertically displaceable Sled 8 On the guide rod 9 is a longitudinally or vertically displaceable Sled 8 arranged, which is located in Direction of the product transport chain 3 extending arm 21st carries, at the front free end of a flexible covering tongue 6 is arranged.
  • a roller 7 On the carriage 8, a roller 7 is rotatably mounted, which engages in a horizontal guide groove 15, the is formed in a control part 16, the longitudinally displaceable sits on the oblique guide rod 23 and by means of a Pull spring 27 biased on this obliquely downwards is.
  • control part 16 On the control part 16 is one about a vertical axis D rotatable cam roller 17 mounted on a substantially vertical control surface 24a unrolls, which at one vertical adjustment plate 24 is formed.
