Definitions

  • the invention relates to devices for erecting boxes Cardboard blanks according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cardboard blanks are kept in the form of a stack in a magazine.
  • a separating device pulls a blank from the stack.
  • the blanks With the help of a feeder, the blanks are positioned precisely over the Erection unit positioned.
  • the form ram pushes the cardboard blank through the erection mechanism. The cut is formed and the glue spots bonded.
  • a conveyor belt transports the finished boxes to the others Processing stations.
  • a first limitation results from the limited strength of the cardboard, this cannot be pushed through the erecting mechanism as quickly as possible.
  • a second limitation results from the forces caused by the acceleration of the form tappet and the form tappet drive result.
  • a third limitation results from the amount of time that the usual separating devices need to pull a single blank from the supply stack.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of a device Specify the type mentioned above, in which the separation of the cardboard blanks and the transport of the same from the supply stack to the feed conveyor to Raising mechanism is even easier, faster and with less vibration.
  • the separating device according to the invention also works with vacuum suction devices and a swiveling movement that turns the blanks by approx. 90 °. in the The difference to known devices is the pivot axis of the Separating device, however, below the transport path or Stack of supplies arranged. There it does not collide with other necessary ones Machine components. In addition, the overall height of the machine remains small.
  • both arm parts using a drive preferably a pneumatic cylinder
  • a drive preferably a pneumatic cylinder
  • the separating device guides a reciprocating one Swivel movement.
  • the separating device rotates in cycles. This allows the Accelerate the separation process further. There are also fewer Vibrations. The result is that this training is constructively possible at all from the two-part design of the arm supporting the suction cups.
  • the magazine is advantageously arranged essentially horizontally, so that the blanks are approximately vertical. Filling the magazine is simplified, the overall height of the machine remains low.
  • the magazine can also be inclined slightly forward can, so the blanks move forward under the action of gravity slip. This also makes the swivel angle of the separating device further reduced.
  • the separation device on the Transport device stored blanks as quickly as possible, but gently and must be fed to the erection unit with a precise fit. This causes the Device with the features of claim 6 Pinch rollers caused increased friction responsible for the Cutting is transported quickly and precisely.
  • the conveying cams have a U-shaped cutout to match the rails on which the cut is made lies. This allows the lower edges of the feed cams to be set lower than the top edge of the rail so that even corrugated blanks can be transported safely become.
  • Each belt preferably has a plurality of conveying cams, their mutual distances to the largest dimension to be processed in the device Blanks is matched.
  • the belts are mounted so that they start from the magazine initially slightly conical and only at the end exactly parallel to the erection mechanism run.
  • the is against Back of the blank in the area of the erecting unit height-adjustable and has a run-on slope that allows the cut to pass through allows.
  • This vertically movable stop prevents the uncontrolled Rebounding of the blanks at high speed against the fixed Stop are transported in the area of the erection unit. The cuts remain precisely over the erection unit.
  • Fig. 1 as a side view
  • Fig. 2 as a top view
  • Fig. 3 as a front view
  • Tappet 13 At the On the left side of the frame 10, an erection mechanism 12 and one can be seen Tappet 13, the one from a cardboard blank in a working stroke Form the complete box, which then the other via a conveyor belt 14 Processing stations is fed.
  • the Separating device 20 consists of a shaft 21, which by a Stepper motor 29 is driven in a controlled manner. On the shaft 21 are on Circumferentially distributed two-part arms 22, 23 attached. The two arm parts 22, 23 are connected to each other via a joint 24; the angle between the two can can be changed using a pneumatic cylinder 25.
  • the free arm part 23 carries a series of vacuum cups 26, which in turn on adjustable arms 27 are attached. Thanks to the adjustable arms 27, the suction cups 26 can be turned on adjust the blanks 1 to be processed.
  • Fig. 1 shows that the suction cups 26 just pulled a blank 1 from the stack 1 ' to have.
  • the shaft 21 stands and that rigidly attached to it Arm part 22.
  • the second arm part 23 is by means of the pneumatic cylinder 25 swung forward until the suction cups 26 take the blank 1.
  • the motor 29 rotates counterclockwise about a quarter turn.
  • the suction devices 26 give the blank 1 free, so that it is deposited on a conveyor track 30. Details should will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 2.
  • the separating device 20 then rotates counterclockwise continue until the next arm 22, 23 or the suction cups 26 attached to it can pull off the next blank 1 from the stack 1 '. Thanks to this endlessly in a circle operation is quick. The separation proceeds reliable. Thanks to the arrangement of the shaft 21 of the separating device underneath the magazine 11 and below the transport track 30 there is a low height of the device.
  • the Transport track itself consists of two substantially parallel rails 31 (Fig. 4 and 5) on which the blank 1 runs with low friction.
  • Rails 31 can be seen two endlessly revolving around end pulleys 35
  • Transport belts 32 on which conveyor cams 33 are spaced apart from one another are attached.
  • the conveying cams 33 lay against the blank 1 and from behind transport this in a precise position via the erection unit 12.
  • 12 additional belt rollers 36 can be in front of the erector Swivel castors may be provided. With the help of these castors 36, it is possible Belt between magazine 11 and erector 12 initially slightly conical towards each other and then run exactly parallel in the area of the erection unit 12 to let. This gives you an even better centering of the blanks 1, too if these have been placed slightly tilted by the separating device 20 should be.
  • the suction cups 26 attached to the adjustable arms 27, the stepper motor 29 and the two-part arm 22, 23 can be clearly seen in FIG. 3. You can also see that the separating device 20 between the rails 31 of the Transport device 30 moves.
  • Fig. 4 shows an enlarged section of the Transport device 30, as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the lower edge of the conveyor cams 33 can lie lower than the upper edge of the transport rail 31, so that corrugated blanks 1 be safely recorded and transported.
  • Fig. 5 shows purely schematically and in an enlarged perspective view a section of the transport device 30 in the area of the erecting unit.
  • the rear edge of the blank 1 lies against a height-movable stop 38. This has one below Sloping run-up that allows the blank 1 to pass through. As soon as the Trailing edge of the blank 1 has passed the vertically movable stop 38 falls this down and blocks the blank 1 precisely over the Erecting mechanism.
