Abstract

The method for stacking plastic bags over a wire bracket (3), especially automat bags in a carton (6), comprises threading them over the two arms (5) of the bracket. These are near the sides of the carton and the bags are stacked in alternating layers which point in opposite directions

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zum Verpacken und Entnehmen von Kunststoffbeuteln, insbesondere Automatenbeutein, die jeweils in einer vorher bestimmbaren Anzahl durch Drahtbügel paketweise zusammengehalten und als Beutelpaket horizontal in einen Transportbehälter, insbesondere einen Umkarton, eingelegt, sowie im Einzelfall paketweise aus diesem entnommen werden.The invention relates to a method for packaging and removing Plastic bags, in particular vending machine bags, each in a previously determinable Number held together in packages by wire clips and as a package of bags placed horizontally in a transport container, in particular an outer carton, and in the Can be extracted from this in individual cases.

Bei der fortlaufenden Herstellung von Kunststoffbeuteln werden diese in einer vorher bestimmbaren Anzahl zu sogenannten Beutelstapeln bzw. Beutelpaketen in einer Sammelvorrichtung zusammengetragen. Als Zuführvorrichtung kommt beispielsweise ein sich in horizontaler Richtung bewegender Stiftstapelförderer in Frage, der auf Stapelstiften die abgetrennten Beutel aufnimmt. Bei der Erzeugung der Beutelstapel ist es bekannt, diese durch einen Drahtbügel zu fixieren. Zu diesem Zweck wird entweder der Beutelstapel von den Stapelstiften der Stiftstapelfördereinrichtung abgehoben und mit den nun lose aufeinanderliegenden Beuteln auf die Schenkel des Drahtbügels aufgesteckt oder die Schenkel des Drahtbügels werden in hohlnutartige Ausnehmungen der Stapelstifte der Stiftstapelfördereinrichtung eingesteckt und auf diese Weise die Beutelstapel entnommen. Anschließend muß der Beutelstapel durch auf die Bügelschenkel aufgesteckte Sicherungsscheiben bzw. Gummistopfen gesichert werden. Dieser Vorgang wird in der Regel von einer Bedienungsperson manuell ausgeführt. Man hat auch schon versucht, die Bügelzufuhr und die Beutelaufnahme auf die Drahtbügel zu automatisieren. Eine derartige Übergabevorrichtung geht beispielsweise aus der DE 38 34 115 C1 hervor.In the continuous production of plastic bags, these are pre-packed determinable number of so-called bag stacks or bag packs in one Gathered together. For example, a feed device is used horizontal stacking pen conveyor in question, on stacking pens the separated bags. When generating the stack of bags, it is known fix them with a wire bracket. For this purpose, either the stack of bags lifted from the stacking pins of the pin stacking conveyor and with the now loose bags placed on top of each other on the legs of the wire bracket or the Legs of the wire bracket are in the hollow groove-like recesses of the stacking pins Pin stack conveyor inserted and removed the stack of bags in this way. Then the stack of bags must be placed on the stirrup legs Lock washers or rubber plugs are secured. This process is carried out in the Usually carried out manually by an operator. You have already tried to automate the ironing and the bag intake on the wire bracket. A such a transfer device can be seen, for example, from DE 38 34 115 C1.

Entsprechend einem Vorschlag der Anmelderin der der älteren DE-Patentanmeidung 198 39 144 ist bereits daran gedacht worden, mit Hilfe einer robotergesteuerten Multifunktionshand, die zwischen einer jeweils einen Beutelstapel von der Stiftstapelfördereinrichtung abnehmenden Aufnahmestellung und einer einen verblockten Beutelstapel in eine in einer Kassettenstation bereitgestellten Umkarton oder dergleichen abgebenden Entladestellung bewegbar ist, das Einlegen der Beutelstapel in den Umkarton zu automatisieren und dadurch zu vereinfachen und zu beschleunigen.According to a proposal by the applicant of the older DE patent application 198 39 144 has already been thought of with the help of a robot-controlled Multi-function hand that is between a stack of bags from the pen stacking device decreasing receiving position and a blocked stack of bags in a carton or the like provided in a cassette station Unloading position is movable, inserting the stack of bags in the outer carton automate and thereby simplify and accelerate.

Ganz gleich nun, ob das Einbringen der Beutelstapel in den Transportbehälter bzw. Umkarton von Hand oder aber mittels eines Roboters erfolgt, hat der Transportbehälter bzw. Umkarton im wesentlichen der Größe bzw. Länge und Breite der Beutelstapel entsprochen. Ein derartiger Transportbehälter geht beispielsweise aus der US-A-3 738 482 hervor. Das hat zur Folge, dass die in dem Umkarton lagenweise eingebrachten Beutel mit ihren Seitenkanten an den Seitenwänden des Umkartons mehr oder weniger anliegen. Dabei sind die die Beutelstapel jeweils zusammenhaltenden Drahtbügel nach innen umgelegt worden. Durch dieses nach Innenumlegen der Schenkel der Drahtbügel kommt es zu einseitigen Erhöhungen bzw. wenn die Beutelstapel spiegelbildlich lagenweise versetzt eingelegt werden, an beiden Seiten zu Erhöhungen mit einer Vertiefung in der Mitte der Stapel. Da die einzelnen Beutelstapel manchmal noch beidseitig mit Papierstreifen bzw. Papierzwischenlagen abgedeckt und zusätzlich auf die Drahtbügel die oben erwähnten Gummistopfen aufgesetzt werden müssen, ergibt sich für die Bedienungsperson eine vergleichsweise hohe körperliche Belastung. Dies inbesondere dann, wenn wegen relativ hoher Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten die immer wiederkehrend gleichen Bewegungsabläufe in sehr kurzer Zeit durchgeführt werden müssen.No matter whether the stack of bags is placed in the transport container or The carton has been made by hand or by means of a robot or outer carton essentially the size or length and width of the stack of bags met. Such a transport container is known for example from US-A-3 738 482 out. As a result, the layers in the outer carton are inserted Bags with their side edges on the side walls of the outer carton more or less issue. The wire brackets that hold the stack of bags together are similar been thrown inside. Through this inward the legs of the wire bracket there are unilateral increases or if the stack of bags is a mirror image layered in layers, on both sides to increase with a Indentation in the middle of the stack. Because the individual stacks of bags sometimes still covered on both sides with paper strips or paper intermediate layers and additionally on the Wire bracket the rubber plugs mentioned above must be put in place for the operator has a comparatively high physical load. This in particular then when the recurring due to relatively high production speeds same movements must be carried out in a very short time.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Art vorzuschlagen, durch das die Handhabung der Beutelpakete, insbesondere das Einbringen, die Entnahme sowie gegebenenfalls die Zuführung und Positionierung der Beutelpakete an einem Packautomaten mit besonders einfachen Mitteln automatisch erfolgen können.The invention has for its object a method of the type mentioned to propose by handling the packets of bags, particularly that Introducing, removing and, if necessary, feeding and positioning the Bag packs on a packaging machine with particularly simple means automatically can be done.

Zugleich soll ein Transportbehälter bzw. ein Umkarton geschaffen werden, der eine einfache Manipulation der im Transportbehälter eingebrachten Beutelpakete erlaubt.At the same time, a transport container or a carton is to be created, the one easy manipulation of the bag packages placed in the transport container allowed.

In verfahrensmäßiger Hinsicht wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass die Beutelpakete jeweils mit horizontal nach außen zu wenigstens einer Seitenwand des Transportbehälters weisenden, durch Aufhängelöcher der Kunststoffbeutel hindurchgeführten und über eine Stimkante des Beutelpakets überstehenden Schenkeln der Drahtbügel in den Transportbehälter eingelegt werden, und dass die Beutelpakete im Einsetzfall in weitgehend unveränderter Lage aus dem Transportbehäfter entnommen werden. Das im Sinne der Erfindung gezielte Ablegen der Beutelpakete in den Umkarton, wobei die Beutelpakete vorzugsweise lagenweise spiegelbildlich in den Transportbehälter eingelegt werden können, erlaubt nicht nur ein automatisches Einlegen, sondern auch ein automatisches Entnehmen der Beutelpakete, beispielsweise mittels eines über eine Optik gesteuerten Handlingsgerätes bzw. eines robotergesteuerten Systems, um die Lage der Drahtbügel zu erkennen und durch Ergreifen die Beutelpakete zu erfassen und beispielsweise einer Füllstation, wie einen Packautomaten, zuführen und dort zu positionieren.From a procedural point of view, this task is solved in that the bag packages each with horizontally outwards to at least one side wall of the transport container pointing, passed through hanging holes in the plastic bag and over a leading edge of the bag package protruding legs of the wire bracket in the Transport containers are inserted, and that the bag packages in use largely unchanged position can be removed from the transport container. That in Purpose of the invention to place the bag packages in the outer carton, the Bag packs preferably in layers can be inserted in the transport container as a mirror image, not only allows one automatic loading, but also an automatic removal of the bag packages, for example by means of a handling device controlled by an optic or one robot-controlled system to recognize the position of the wire bracket and through Grab the bag packs to grasp and, for example, a filling station like one Packing machines, feed and position there.

Im Hinblick auf das erfindungsgemäße Einlegen der Beutelpakete mit nach außen weisenden Bügelschenkeln ist es grundsätzlich möglich, auf die sonst erforderlichen Gummiabschlußstopfen auf dem Drahtbügel zur Fixierung der einzelnen Beutel zu verzichten.With regard to the insertion of the bag packages according to the invention with the outside pointing stirrup legs, it is basically possible to the otherwise required Rubber stopper on the wire bracket to fix the individual bags dispense.

Für die besondere Art des Beuteleinlegens ist lediglich ein Transportbehälter bzw. ein Umkarton erforderlich, der an der Seite der Drahtbügel um ein solches Maß länger als die Beutelpakete ausgebildet ist, dass die durch Aufhängelöcher der Kunststoffbeutel hindurchgeführten Schenkel der Drahtbügel im wesentlichen horizontal nach außen zur Seitenwand des Transportbehälters weisen.There is only one transport container or one for the special type of bag insertion Carton required that is longer than the length of the side of the wire bracket The bag pack is formed by the hanging holes in the plastic bag passed through the wire bracket substantially horizontally to the outside Point the side wall of the transport container.

Mit den Mitteln nach der Erfindung kommt man zu einem wirksamen Automatisierungsprozess bei der Beutelpaketentnahme aus einem Transportbehälter bzw. einem Umkarton mit Positionierung der Beutelpakete auf einem Abpackautomaten.An effective automation process is achieved with the means according to the invention when removing the bag package from a transport container or a Carton with positioning of the bag packages on a packaging machine.

Figure 2
a transport container or a cardboard box with pouches inserted in layers and provided with wire clips.

Bei der fortlaufenden Herstellung von Beuteln werden bekannterweise die Kunststoffbeutel in einer vorher bestimmbaren Anzahl zu sogenannten Beutelstapeln 1 (Figur 1) in einer hier nicht dargestellten Sammelvorrichtung zusammengetragen. Die einzelnen Kunststoffbeutel weisen in bekannter Weise Aufhängeöffnungen 2 auf, über die die Kunststoffbeutel während des Zusammentragens auf Stapelstiften einer gleichfalls nicht dargestellten Stiftstapelfördereinrichtung gesammelt werden können. Bei der Erzeugung der Beutelstapel ist es bekannt, diese durch einen Drahtbügel 3 zu fixieren, der aus einem Querschenkel 4 und zwei im wesentlichen parallel zueinander verlaufenden Schenkeln 5 besteht. Für das Aufbringen der Drahtbügel gibt es verschiedene Möglichkeiten. Entweder werden die Beutelstapel von den Stapelstiften der Sfiftstapelfördereinrichtung abgehoben und die nun lose aufeinanderliegenden Beuteln werden auf die Schenkel des Drahtbügels 3 aufgesteckt oder die Schenkel des Drahtbügels 3 werden in hohlnutartige Ausnehmungen der Stapelstifte der Stiftstapelfördereinrichtung eingesteckt und auf diese Weise die Beutelstapel entnommen.In the continuous production of bags, plastic bags are known to be in a predeterminable number of so-called bag stacks 1 (FIG. 1) in a collection device, not shown here. The single ones Plastic bags have suspension openings 2 in a known manner, through which the Plastic bags while not collating on stacking pens either Pen stack conveyor shown can be collected. When generating the stack of bags it is known to fix them by a wire bracket 3, which is made of a cross leg 4 and two substantially parallel to each other Legs 5 is made. There are various ways of attaching the wire bracket Possibilities. Either the stack of bags is removed from the stacking pins of the sift stack conveyor lifted off and the bags now lying loosely on top of each other the legs of the wire bracket 3 are attached or the legs of the wire bracket 3 are in hollow groove-like recesses of the stacking pins of the pin stack conveyor inserted and removed the stack of bags in this way.

Zum Transport, beziehungsweise zu einem Abfüllbetrieb werden mehrere Beutelstapel in einen Umkarton 6 eingelegt, wie er beispielsweise in Figur 2 schematisch dargestellt ist. Dort sind die einzelnen Beutelstapel lagenweise in einer bestimmten Weise untergebracht und zwar dergestalt, dass sie vorzugsweise versetzt spiegelbildlich eingebracht sind und insbesondere in der Weise, dass die Drahtbügel 3 mit ihren längeren Schenkeln 5 nach außen zur Seitenwandung 7, 8 des Umkartons 6 weisen.Several stacks of bags are transported in for transport or to a filling plant inserted a cardboard box 6, as is shown schematically for example in Figure 2. The individual stacks of bags are accommodated in layers in a certain way in such a way that they are preferably introduced in a mirror-inverted manner are and in particular in such a way that the wire bracket 3 with their longer Legs 5 point outwards to the side wall 7, 8 of the outer carton 6.

Das Einbringen der Beutelstapel mit den Drahtbügeln 3 kann entweder manuell erfolgen oder aber zweckmäßigerweise durch eine Multifunktionshand eines nicht dargestellten robotergesteuerten Handlingsystems. Ein derartiges System kann auch am Einsatzort, beispielsweise im Bereich eines Abpackautomaten eingesetzt werden. Vorzugsweise ist an diesem System ein Erkennungsgerät, beispielsweise eine Optik, angebracht, mit der die Lage der Drahtbügel 3 bzw. deren Schenkel 5 erfaßt werden und entsprechend der Lageerkennung das automatisch arbeitende System, also die Multifunktionshand des robotergesteuerten Systems zum Einsatz gelangt und das Beutelpaket dem Abpackautomaten zuführt und dort entsprechend positioniert.The stack of bags with the wire clips 3 can either be introduced manually or expediently by a multifunction hand of a not shown robot-controlled handling system. Such a system can also be used on site, can be used for example in the area of a packaging machine. Preferably a recognition device, for example an optic, is attached to this system with which the position of the wire bracket 3 or their legs 5 are detected and corresponding to the Position detection the automatically working system, i.e. the multifunction hand of the robot-controlled system is used and the bag package to the packaging machine feeds and positioned there accordingly.

Wie aus Figur 2 ersichtlich, kann aufgrund der besonderen Lage der Schenkel der Drahtbügel 3 auf die sonst erforderlichen Gummiabschlußstopfen und gegebenenfalls auf die sonst erforderlichen Kartonzwischenlagen usw. verzichtet werden.As can be seen from Figure 2, due to the special location of the legs Wire bracket 3 on the rubber stopper otherwise required and if necessary on the otherwise required intermediate cardboard layers etc.

Aus Figur 2 ist ferner ersichtlich, dass der Umkarton 6 an den Seiten der Drahtbügel lediglich um ein solches Maß verlängert zu werden braucht, dass die Drahtbügel aufgrund ihrer horizontalen Lage soviel Platz haben, dass sie nach außen zur Seitenwandung 7 bzw. 8 weisen können.From Figure 2 it can also be seen that the outer carton 6 on the sides of the wire bracket only needs to be extended to such an extent that the wire bracket due to their horizontal position, they have enough space to face the side wall 7 or 8 can point.
