Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Aufrichten von Faltschachteln, mit einem Magazin zur Aufnahme von flachen Faltschachtelhülsen, einer Entnahmeeinrichtung zum einzelnen Entnehmen der Faltschachtelhülsen aus dem Magazin und zum Zuführen der Faltschachtelhülsen zu einer Aufrichteinrichtung, in welcher die Faltschachtelhülsen entlang einer Stauchstrecke aufgerichtet werden.The invention relates to a device for erecting folding boxes, with a Magazine for holding flat folding box sleeves, a removal device for the individual removal of the folding box sleeves from the magazine and for Feeding the folding box sleeves to an erecting device in which the Folding box sleeves are erected along a compression section.

Mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung werden zu Hülsen verklebte Faltschachtelzuschnitte aus Karton durch Ausübung eines Stauchdruckes auf gegenüberliegende Kanten der Faltschachtelhülsen aufgerichtet. Beim Aufrichten einer flachen Faltschachtelhülse wird deren Querschnitt in eine Rechteckform gebracht. Danach wird die bodenseitige Stirnfläche der Faltschachtel beleimt und verschlossen, die Faltschachtel befüllt, z. B. mit einem Schlauchbeutel, und schließlich die kopfseitige Stirnfläche beleimt und verschlossen.With such a device, folding box blanks are glued into sleeves made of cardboard by exerting a compressive pressure on opposite edges of the Folding box sleeves erected. When erecting a flat folding box sleeve their cross-section brought into a rectangular shape. Then the bottom side Glued and sealed end face of the folding box, the folding box filled, e.g. B. with a tubular bag, and finally glued to the head end face and locked.

Die bekannte Vorrichtung zum Aufrichten richtet entlang einer Stauchstrecke die Faltschachtel durch mechanischen Druck vollständig auf, d. h. bis zum Erreichen rechter Innenwinkel an allen vier Kanten der Faltschachtelhülse. Erst danach wird die Faltschachtelhülse weiter transportiert bzw. weiter bearbeitet. Das vollständige Aufrichten kostet jedoch relativ viel Zeit. Dieser Zeitbedarf ist für relativ schnelle Verpackungsvorgänge von Nachteil.The known device for straightening straightens the along a compression path Folding box fully open by mechanical pressure, d. H. until reaching Right inside angle on all four edges of the folding box sleeve. Only then will the Folding box sleeve transported or processed further. The whole However, getting up takes a lot of time. This time requirement is for relatively quick ones Packaging processes are disadvantageous.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine relativ lange Zeit zum vollständigen mechanischen Aufrichten einer Faltschachtelhülse zu vermeiden und trotzdem vollständig aufgerichtete Faltschachtelhülsen zu erzielen.The invention is based on the object, a relatively long time to complete to avoid mechanical erection of a folding box sleeve and still to achieve fully erected folding box sleeves.

Gelöst ist die Aufgabe gemäß dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1. Danach ist im Anschluss an die Stauchstrecke ein Schacht zur passgenauen Aufnahme der nur teilweise an der Stauchstrecke aufgerichteten Faltschachtelhülsen vorgesehen, der Schacht weist eine Ausbringeinrichtung zum Ausbringen der teilweise aufgerichteten Faltschachtelhülsen aus dem Schacht auf, und ein sich an den Schacht anschließender Expansionsraum dient einer Aufnahme der sich vollständig aufgerichteten Faltschachtelhülsen. The problem is solved according to the characterizing part of claim 1. After that following the upsetting section, a shaft for the precisely fitting admission of the only folding box sleeves partially erected on the upsetting section provided the The shaft has a spreading device for spreading the partially erected Folding box sleeves out of the shaft, and an on the shaft Subsequent expansion space serves to record the complete erected carton sleeves.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung hat den Vorteil, dass ein vollständiges mechanisches Aufrichten entlang der Stauchstrecke vermieden wird, wodurch der Stauchvorgang in einer verkürzten Zeit erfolgt. Die passgenaue Aufnahme im Schacht dient zum einen dazu, dass die teilweise aufgerichteten Faltschachtelhülsen für eine gewisse Zeit in ihrer Aufrichtposition gehalten werden, um es dem Hülsenmaterial zu erlauben, die vorherige schnelle Aufrichtung und die damit verbundenen Spannungen durch entsprechende Kräfte auszugleichen. Zum anderen verhindert der Schacht ein eigenständiges, vollständiges Aufrichten der Faltschachtelhülse, wie es aus der dort herrschenden Materialspannung möglich wäre. Die Faltschachtelhülsen sind nach dem Verlassen des Schachtes in einem Zustand, der im Expansionsraum zu einem vollständigen Aufrichten der Faltschachtelhülsen führt. Im Expansionsraum ist keine Einschränkung entsprechend der im Schacht vorgegebenen Begrenzung vorhanden. In Folge der relativ großen Zeitersparnis durch das nur unvollständige Aufrichten entlang der Stauchstrecke kommt es für das letztlich vollständig durchgeführte Aufrichten zu einem zeitlichen Vorteil, der eine sehr hohe Aufrichtungsrate (Hülsen pro Sekunde) ermöglicht. Diese Rate resultiert daher, dass die Trägheitskräfte der flachen Faltschachtelhülsen einer verminderten Summe von Stauchkräften entlang der Stauchstrecke ausgesetzt werden. Insbesondere bei einer sehr hohen Aufrichtgeschwindigkeit ist die Funktionsweise des Schachtes optimal.The device according to the invention has the advantage that a complete mechanical uprighting along the upsetting section is avoided, which makes the Upsetting takes place in a shorter time. The perfect fit in the shaft serves on the one hand that the partially erected folding box sleeves for a be held in their erect position for a period of time to bring it to the sleeve material allow the previous quick erection and the associated tensions compensate by appropriate forces. On the other hand, the shaft prevents one independent, complete erection of the folding box sleeve, as it is there prevailing material tension would be possible. The folding box sleeves are after Leaving the shaft in a state that becomes one in the expansion space leads to complete erection of the folding box sleeves. There is none in the expansion room Restriction exists according to the limitation specified in the shaft. As a result of the relatively large time saving due to the incomplete erection along the upsetting section it comes to what is ultimately completely accomplished Raising to a time advantage, which has a very high erection rate (tubes per Second). This rate therefore results from the inertial forces of the flat Folding box sleeves a reduced sum of compression forces along the Upset section are exposed. Especially with a very high erection speed the functioning of the shaft is optimal.

Weitere, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 8 beschrieben.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention are in claims 2 to 8 described.

Weist die Entnahmeeinrichtung mehrere Arme mit Saugkopf auf, und die Arme sind über einen Antrieb und ein Planetengetriebe entlang einer Zykloidenbahn bewegbar (Anspruch 2), so kann in technisch einfacher Weise an einer Spitze der Zykloidenbahn eine flache Faltschachtelhülse mittels eines Saugkopfes dem Magazin entnommen und an einer anderen Spitze in den Schacht gesetzt werden. Entlang eines Bogens der Zyloidenbahn kann dabei das teilweise Aufrichten durch Stauchen entlang einer gekrümmten, dem Bogen angepassten Gleitfläche erfolgen (Anspruch 3). Hierbei wird eine Kante der Faltschachtelhülse gegen die Gleitfläche gedrückt.The removal device has several arms with a suction head, and the arms are Movable along a cycloidal path via a drive and a planetary gear (Claim 2), it can be done in a technically simple manner at a tip of the cycloid track a flat folding box sleeve removed from the magazine by means of a suction head and at another point in the shaft. Along an arch of the Cyloidal orbit can be partially straightened by upsetting along one curved slide surface adapted to the arc (claim 3). Here will one edge of the folding box sleeve pressed against the sliding surface.

Weist die Ausbringeinrichtung Mitnehmer auf, deren Mitnahmefläche bezüglich ihrer Ausrichtung der Ausrichtung einer Seitenwand einer teilweise aufgerichteten Faltschachtelhülse entspricht (Anspruch 4), so liegt die Mitnahmefläche während des Ausbringens der Faltschachtelhülse aus dem Schacht flächig an der Seitenwand an, drückt diese folglich nicht ein und übt keinen Einfluss auf den Aufrichtzustand der Faltschachtelhülse aus.Does the dispensing device have drivers whose driving surface is related to their Alignment of the alignment of a side wall of a partially erect Folding box sleeve corresponds (claim 4), the driving surface is during the The flat case is brought out of the shaft onto the side wall, consequently does not press this in and does not influence the upright state of the Folding box sleeve.

Ein sehr gutes selbständiges Aufrichten der Faltschachtel im Expansionsraum kommt vor, wenn der Faltschachtelhülse noch 20 bis 25 Grad fehlen, bis rechte Winkel in ihrem Innenraum erreicht sind. Für diesen Fall ist ein flächiges Anliegen der Mitnahmefläche an der Seitenwand gegeben, wenn analog Anspruch 5 zwischen der Mitnahmefläche und einer Senkrechten zu einem umlaufenden Strang der Ausbringeinrichtung ein entsprechender Winkel von 20 bis 25 Grad vorgesehen ist.A very good independent erection of the folding box in the expansion room comes before, if the folding box sleeve is still missing 20 to 25 degrees until right angle in reached their interior. In this case, there is a general concern Driving area on the side wall given if analogous to claim 5 between the Driving surface and a perpendicular to a circumferential strand of Spreading device a corresponding angle of 20 to 25 degrees is provided.

Ist am Expansionsraum eine erste Einrichtung zum Weitertransportieren der vollständig aufgerichteten Faltschachtelhülsen vorgesehen (Anspruch 6), so können mit dieser die Faltschachtelhülsen aus dem Expansionsraum einer Befüll- und Verschließstation zugeführt werden. Ist die erste Einrichtung mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit wie eine sich an die Ausbringeinrichtung anschließende, zweite Einrichtung zum Weitertransportieren angetrieben (Anspruch 7), dann können die aufgerichteten Faltschachteln in zuverlässiger Weise von Mitnehmen beider Einrichtungen gleichzeitig weitertransportiert werden. Hierbei erfolgt der Weitertransport in schonender Weise, wenn gemäß Anspruch 8 Mitnehmer der beiden Einrichtungen die Faltschachteln an diagonal gegenüberliegenden Kanten der Faltschachteln halten.Is at the expansion room a first device for further transport the complete erected folding box sleeves provided (claim 6), so this Folding box sleeves from the expansion space of a filling and closing station be fed. Is the first set up at the same speed as one adjoining the spreading device, second device for Further transported driven (claim 7), then the erect Folding boxes in a reliable manner by taking both facilities at the same time to be transported further. The further transport takes place in a gentle manner, if according to claim 8 driver of the two devices on the folding boxes Hold diagonally opposite edges of the folding boxes.
