  • the height of the cup walls 18 and the driver 13, 14 are the height of the maximum blister pack to be packed 3 or the height of the highest folding box 2 adapted.
  • a bracket 28 which on a frame wall 29 on the Conveyors 11, 15 opposite side is attached.
  • Above the console 28 has the frame wall 29 an opening 31.
  • three servomotors 32, 33, 34 attached.
  • the first servomotor 32 drives a toothed belt 35 which on three rollers 36, 37, 38 mounted on the bracket 28 is diverted. Between the two on an upper level arranged rollers 37, 38 is connected to the toothed belt 35 in a horizontally oriented rod 30 slidably Driver 39 attached, the one with a pushrod acting inserter 40 is connected.
  • the inserter 40 has a substantially horizontal, the opening 31 of the Frame wall 29 penetrating, in cross-section U-shaped Section 41. At which the conveyors 11, 15 facing end of the section 41 are the vertical Wall sections 42 of the section 41 as rectangular strips 43 formed increased. The height of the strips 43 is the height the highest to be packed blister stack 3 adjusted.
  • the Length of the portion 41 and the Einschiebers 40 is together with the adjustment of the toothed belt 35 between the two rollers 37, 38 adjusted so that during the Delivery phase of the conveyors 11, 15 the front end or the strips 43 of the Einschiebers 40 between the Conveyor 15 for the blister strip 1 and the Frame wall 29 is located.
  • 15 extend the front end of the Slider 40 and the strip 43 for inserting the Blister strip 1 in the carton 2 to the Opening cross section of the folding box 2 zoom. That means, that the inserter 40 has a width which it allows between the cup walls 18 and the two Plates 24, 25 immerse.
  • a Lever 45 On the drive shaft 44 of the second servo motor 33 is a Lever 45 attached.
  • the lever 45 is by means of a first Rod 47 having a longitudinal bore Holding block 48 coupled.
  • a first Rod 47 having a longitudinal bore Holding block 48 coupled.
  • In the longitudinal bore is a arranged vertically oriented, stationary column 49, so that the holding block 48 according to the angular position of the lever 45 is vertically movable in the column 49 is guided.
  • a horizontally oriented rail 50 attached, which is covered by a carriage 52.
  • Carriage 52 Of the Carriage 52 is via a second rod 53 and a Pivot lever 54 with the drive shaft 55 of the third Servomotor 34 connected.
  • the Opening 31 of the frame wall 29 penetrating tongue carrier 57 attached, which faces away from the carriage 52 at its End wearing a strip-shaped cover 58.
  • the width the Abdeckzunge 58 is such that these between the Strip 43 of the inserter 40 and the side walls 18 of the Cup 17 and the plates 24, 25 can dip.
  • the three servomotors 32 to 34 are separate from one Control device 60 controllable, which also for the Control of the two conveyors 11, 15 responsible is.
  • This control device 60 can be used as input variables et al the speed or cycle number t of the two intermittently working conveyors 11, 15, the performance the cartoning machine 10 determines the height h of Blister stack 3 and the length l, for example, via a Input keyboard can be specified.
  • the control device 60 calculated on the basis of the input quantities t, h, l the required movements of the inserter 40 and the Cover tongue 58 and their servomotors 32 to 34th
  • the movements of the servomotors 32 to 34 also as predetermined functional courses already in the Control device 60 may be stored, depending on predetermined input variables t, h, l are retrieved. Theseêtsverissue were then in advance in the context of Trials determined.
  • the device 10 works as follows: Of the two cyclically driven conveyors 11, 15 are in each case a blister stack 3 and a folding box 2 of Device 10 fed, which in alignment with the Slider 40 and the cover 58 come to a standstill. At this time, the slider 40 is in its retracted end position outside the cup 17th and the cover tongue 58 above the cup walls 18 of the Furthermore, the two plates 24, 25 of the folding box 2 side facing such pivoted that when feeding the carton 2 whose in Conveying direction of the folding box 2 front side flap 4 the two plates 24, 25 are not touched.
  • the two plates 24, 25 are parallel aligned so that it is ensured that the two side flaps 4 of the carton 2 the Opening cross section for insertion of the blister stack 3rd release.
  • the cover tongue 58 is replaced by a corresponding control of the second servo motor 33 after lowered down the top of the blister stack 3 and the inserter 40 by a control of the first Servo motor 32 in the direction of the cup 17 moves ( Figure 3).

  • the covering tongue 58 becomes horizontal from the inside the folding box 2 by means of the third servo motor 34th pulled out.
  • the time for the beginning of the Pulling the covering tongue 58 out of the folding box 2 can be format dependent, while being guaranteed must that the cover 58 outside the carton 2 is as soon as the conveyor 11, the filled Folding box 2 further promotes.
  • the different ones Times for the beginning of pulling out of the Folding box 2 result from different desired clock numbers t and the different set length l of the blister strip 1 and the Folding box 2.
  • the covering tongue 58 tends to have the more earlier and / or faster from the carton 2 are pulled out, the higher the number of cycles t is (da then the downtime of the conveyor 11 relative is short) and the longer the carton 2 or the length l the blister strip 1 is (because then the cover 58th protrudes relatively far into the folding box 2).
  • the Covering tongue 58 when pulling out of the folding box 2 below the level of the cup walls 18 of the Conveyor 15. Furthermore, the pusher penetrates 40 the cup 17. Since the conveyor 15 for Providing the next blister stack 3 only can be moved when the cover 58th above and the pusher 40 outside of the cup 17th are, the cover 58 after exiting the Opening cross section of the carton 2 by means of the second Servomotor 33 at the same time to a level above or Cup walls 18 raised.
  • the controller 61, the Servo motors 32 to 34 control such that the insertion of the blister stack 3 is relatively slow and therefore gentle on us safely, while in particular the withdrawal of the Inserter 40 is carried out at a relatively high speed.
  • the controller 61, the Servo motors 32 to 34 control such that the insertion of the blister stack 3 is relatively slow and therefore gentle on us safely, while in particular the withdrawal of the Inserter 40 is carried out at a relatively high speed.
  • Performance increase is also conceivable, several each rigid coupled with each other pusher 40 and cover tongues 58th to arrange parallel to each other, so that in each case several Blisterstapel 3 can be inserted simultaneously. It is also conceivable in simpler applications, instead three separate servomotors 32 to 34 only one or two To use servomotors. In this case is a Servo motor for example for the entire movement of the Cover tongue responsible, with its horizontal or Vertical movement then mechanically from each other Movement is derived.
