Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a machine for wedging of objects previously placed inside a cardboard box, corrugated cardboard or the like in sheet material, having a square section or rectangular.
  • the technical field of the invention is that of packaging, manufacturing or closing of packaging or manufacturing and use of cushioning materials for such packaging.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to the establishment a cushioning material inside boxes used for the preparation of multi-item orders and more generally of cases whose content has a variable volume from one box to another, which cushioning material has the function to immobilize this content during subsequent handling of the box, by example until received by the recipient.
  • cases of this type are formed by machines from a sheet of sheet material comprising different flaps or flaps assembled by gluing or adhesive tape.
  • the heat shrinkable plastic films including one or more sheets are secured to the bottom or the lateral sides of the box during its forming. After filling the box, these films are folded back onto the stack objects then retracted by passage through a heating tunnel.
  • the problem is therefore to provide a means of wedging objects inside boxes used for shipping parcels whose useful volume is variable, and to ensure that this timing device and its implementation are inexpensive and generate a minimum of constraints for those who carry out the packaging before shipment and for those who open the packaging upon receipt of the parcel.
  • the solution to the problem posed consists in providing a method for inserting, inside a box made up of a square or rectangular bottom or approximately square or rectangular, and at least four faces side, a sheet of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or equivalent sheet material, which sheet is contacted with the top surface of the stack of objects arranged in said box and then secured to said box so as to ensuring a wedging of said objects.
  • the method of the invention is deposit, on the underside of the foldable flaps, before inserting the sheet for setting the body, one or more points or beads of glue, so that carry out, after introduction and insertion of the setting sheet in the box, application of the foldable flaps glued against the internal face of the side walls of the latter and drying of the glue, a solid fixing of said sheet of wedging on said side walls of the body.
  • said flaps of said sheet have one or more fold lines parallel to the joints said flaps relative to said central part of said sheet, which fold lines make it possible to reduce the surface of said flaps applied against said four side faces of said box and use the surface as well available to compensate for the increase in area of said central part of said sheet linked to its deformation when it comes into contact with said surface upper of said stack of objects.
  • the wedging sheet is pressed, at several points on the surface of its part central, against the upper surface of the objects housed in the box, so that be deformed and conform to the shape of said upper surface.
  • said sheets are previously stored under shape of a pile of identical sheets arranged inside an inclined magazine and the sheet located in the lower part of said magazine is unstacked individually by the action of a movable plate provided with suction cups whose displacement allows separate said sheet from said stack of sheets and deposit said sheet on a horizontal plane consisting of several rails and the removal of said points or beads of glue on said underside of each of said flaps is produced, during the transfer of said sheet in said horizontal plane, by the action of glue nozzles located under said horizontal plane and targeting said flaps, which transfer is generated by moving movable cleats and also has function of positioning said sheet above said box.
  • the wedging method according to the invention provides several advantages.
  • the objects arranged inside the box are perfectly wedged using a sheet whose acquisition and implementation are inexpensive and which does not induce any particular constraint linked to the collection and recycling the waste generated by the destruction of the packaging after use.
  • the present invention further relates to a machine for inserting, at the inside of a box made up of a square or rectangular bottom and of four side faces, a sheet of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or similar material equivalent sheet, which sheet has a square central part or rectangular of dimensions substantially equivalent to those of said bottom of said box, comprises around said central part, and on at least two of its four sides, at least one and preferably several foldable flaps and is brought into contact with the stack of objects placed in said box then secured to said body.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view of a box usable for setting work of the method and of the machine according to the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic view of a sheet used for wedging objects in a crate, according to the process and using the machine according to the invention.
  • Figures 3 and 4 are isometric views of the same part of a machine according to the invention, at two successive stages of the operation.
  • Figure 5 is an isometric view of another part of this machine.
  • Figure 6 is a top view of the part of the machine shown in the figure 5.
  • Figures 7 to 15 are sectional views of the same part of the machine according to the invention, at nine successive stages of the operation.
  • Figure 16 is an isometric view of a machine according to the invention.
  • Figures 17 and 18 are two sectional views illustrating two examples of boxes after passing through a machine according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows the box 1 used by the machine according to the invention.
  • Said box 1 is composed of at least five sides, that is to say at least four sides side 1a, 1b, 1c and 1d and a bottom 1e.
  • the bottom has a rectangular shape, so that the body has the shape of a parallelepiped rectangle.
  • the background could have a square shape or substantially rectangular or square, for example a generally square shape or rectangular with cut corners, the body then having the shape of a straight parallelepiped with cut edges and actually comprising eight faces (four large and four small).
  • Figure 2 shows an example of the shape of a usable sheet 2 for implementing the method and the machine according to the invention.
  • said sheet 2 has a central part 2k of dimensions substantially equivalent to those of said bottom 1e of said box 1.
  • Said sheet 2 comprises also, on at least two of its opposite sides, at least one foldable flap.
  • the setting sheet 2 has foldable flaps 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, 2i and 2j on each of its ratings.
  • fold lines 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, 21e, 21f, 21g, 21h, 21i and 21j on said flaps which are parallel to said joints.
  • this sheet 2 can be executed in cardboard, corrugated cardboard or any other equivalent sheet material.
  • Figures 3 and 4 show part of the machine used for the transfer of said sheet 2 and gluing of said flaps.
  • the horizontal transfer plane consisting of rails 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e and 10f.
  • the movable cleats 12a and 12b sliding on the rails 10a, 10b and whose displacement, which can be produced for example by the action of a pneumatic cylinder, ensures the transfer of said sheet 2.
  • the glue nozzles 11a, 11b, 11c, 11d and 11e located under said horizontal plane and targeting these components.
  • FIG. 3 shows said sheet 2 during its passage to the vertical of said glue nozzles.
  • Figure 4 shows said sheet 2 after complete gluing and end of transfer.
  • the rails 10c, 10d, 10e, 10f constituting the terminal portion of the plane horizontal transfer and supply have a little more spacing important than that of the rails 10a, 10b forming the initial part of said plane horizontal and are arranged on either side of the space where the inserting the timing sheet 2.
