Definitions
- the present invention relates to a machine for packaging containers such as bottles and the like, comprising a part for forming arrays of containers and a part for guiding/supplying and forming boxes from flattened punched blanks, in which said part for supplying and forming the boxes is arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of feeding of the containers and the said boxes.
- forming of the box to be filled is performed by means of apparatus which are arranged in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of feeding of the boxes both closed and open after forming.
- the technical problem which is posed, therefore, is that of providing a machine for packaging containers such as bottles, phials and the like, which is provided with an apparatus for forming the box from flattened punched cardboard boxes, which allows a reduction in the overall dimensions of the machine, allows easy access to the forming zone and allows the collection of the paper dust which accumulates during forming, outside of the said machine, thus preventing the actuating and detection and control devices from being subject to malfunctions due to the presence of said dust.
- the apparatus according to the invention is applied to a vertical wall 101 of a packaging machine, not shown, but comprising a part 102 for supplying the containers 1 to be boxed, assembled on the side of the wall 101 opposite to that for forming the boxes 2 and a device 103 for gripping and transporting the containers 1 from the supplying part into the box 2 which is formed and brought to the filling point by means of the device 103.
- the vertical wall 101 extends parallel to the direction of feeding of the containers 1 and the boxes 2, a direction which below, for the sake of simplicity, will be identified as the longitudinal direction.
- the box forming apparatus comprises a device 10 for guiding and supplying punched cardboard boxes forming the flattened boxes 2, which extends parallel to the longitudinal direction of the machine and is substantially formed by two pairs of upper and lower longitudinal guides 11 inside which the boxes 2 are arranged, closed, and by a thrusting arm 12 which is made to perform a translatory movement by associated actuating systems 12a which cause feeding of the boxes 2, still flattened, towards the pick-up and opening zone.
- the flattened boxes contained inside the feeder 10 therefore have a rear wall 2a and front wall 2c in the direction of feeding as well as sides walls 2b,2d which are flattened against each other and arranged transversely with respect to the said direction of feeding.
- the devices for opening the box 2 are arranged in the said pick-up zone and each box comes into contact with a first device 20 for gripping and rotating the side surface 2b of the box, which in this position is still in turn transverse to the direction of feeding, and with second devices 30 for gripping and retaining the rear wall 2a of the said box, which is in turn still transverse to the direction of feeding.
- said devices 20 for gripping and rotating the side wall 2b of the box 2 comprise a shaft 21 which is arranged substantially vertical and to which two substantially horizontal arms 22 are joined, said arms carrying vacuum means 23, such as suction pads and the like, which are designed to be attached to the side surface 2b of the closed box.
- the vertical shaft 21 is supported by an actuator 21a which is in turn mounted on a guide 21b on which it is able to perform a translatory movement, in a substantially horizontal direction and in both senses, upon operation of suitable actuating systems in the example consisting of a pair of connecting rods 24a,24b having one end hinged together and opposite ends which are respectively attached to the actuator 21a and, by means of a transmission member 26a, to a first lever 26 of an actuating device consisting of a rotating cam 25.
- the cam 25 also has, mounted on it, a second lever 27 connected by means of a transmission member 27a to a second pair of connecting rods 28a,28b, similar to the first pair, which produce the rotation of the actuator 21a about its vertical axis.
- the actuator 21a is thus able to perform a synchronised translatory movement in both directions (forwards and backwards) and rotation through 90° in both directions (clockwise and anti-clockwise).
- the means for retaining the rear surface 2a of the box 2 consist of an arm 31 which is arranged substantially horizontal and perpendicular to the support wall 101.
- Said arm in turn has vacuum means 32, such as suction pads and the like, and may be actuated so as to perform a translatory movement from/towards the wall 101 by means of a connecting rod 33 connected to a lever 34 which is in turn joined to the cam 25.
- vacuum means 32 such as suction pads and the like
- the operating principle of the apparatus is as follows:
- the movements of the actuator 21 and the arm 31 could for example be obtained by means of d.c. motors controlled by means of encoders or by devices of the hydraulic type or the like and similarly the means for attaching the arms to the walls of the box 2 could comprise suction means aiding the suction pads or gripping means acting on the edges of the said surfaces.
