Definitions

  • Patent Application no. EP 1 216 922 (BO2000A 000733) of the same Applicant, describes a machine for packaging piles of multiply paper articles, or other articles, into relative wrappings obtained from heat-weldable wrapping sheets.
  • the machine includes: a first line for conveying and separating the piles; a second line for intermittent feeding heat-weldable wrapping sheets to a working station, where each sheet is positioned vertically and kept in this position; a third line, fed intermittently with piles coming from the first line and passing crosswise the above mentioned working station, aimed at moving each pile toward the above mentioned sheet arranged in wait position in said working station.
  • the pile goes to strike against the sheet and then the sheet is folded around the longitudinal outline of the pile to allow the wrapping sheet parallel edges to be overlapped in order to be heat-welded.
  • Figure 1 shows a schematic view of technical-functional aspects protected by the above mentioned Patent Application.
  • the above mentioned second line 2 includes a reel (not shown), from which a heat-weldable film K, for example polyethylene, is unwound continuously.
  • a heat-weldable film K for example polyethylene
  • the film K passes through a so-called slow branch 16, more precisely between opposite runs of pairs of endless conveyors 16A, 16B, only one pair of which is shown in Figure.
  • the runs are moved with a constant speed V o .
  • a cutting group 15 is situated upstream of the slow branch and makes, stepwise, transversal cut lines (defining as many pre-broken sections) spaced apart by a predetermined step in accordance with the pile size.
  • a working group 70 situated downstream of the slow branch 16, takes over the leading edge of the film K going out of the slow branch, detaches the sheet F from the film K, pulls the detached sheet F up to the above mentioned working station So and keeps it still therein.
  • the group 70 includes first means and second means.
  • the first means include a pair of first endless belts 18, only one of which is shown in Figure 1, mounted around idler wheels 19 and a driving wheel 20, to define a vertical straight section in the region of the station So, and engaging the edges of a face of the sheet F.
  • the second means include a pair of second endless belts 22 (only one of which shown in Figure 1), mounted around idler wheels 23 and a driving wheel 24 to engage the edges of the other face of the sheet F and to define a short vertical straight section in the region of the station So.
  • the mutual spatial arrangement of the first and second endless belts 18, 22 defines two facing runs 18A, 22A, having one side situated in cascade to the runs 16A, 16B of the slow branch and the other side leading to the station So.
  • the height of the lower idler wheel 23A is adjustable vertically during size change over operation (see position M indicated with broken line) by acting on tensioning means 25: consequently, also the vertical straight section of contact between the facing runs 18A, 22A of the first and second belts 18, 22 changes.
  • the inner runs of the first belts are connected to means 30, which can be connected to a vacuum source: for this purpose, the first belts feature through holes set into communication with these means.
  • the lower part of the slide carries a base plate 8, while the upper part of the slide carries a presser plate 33, parallel to the base plate 8, and the side part of the slides supports a pusher 34, perpendicular to the base plate.
  • Two endless conveyors 35, 36, arranged one over the other, are situated downstream of the working station So; the upper run 35A of the lower conveyor 35 is coplanar with the support base plate 8.
  • the first and second endless belts 18, 22 are operated with the same speed, whose progress in function of time is shown in Figure 2.
  • the speed VA is equal to the speed V0 of the slow branch 16; in this interval, the leading edge of the film K enters between the initial parts of the facing runs 18A, 22A.
  • the sheet F not hindered by the slow branch 16, is conveyed to the station So and passes through it because its edges are kept adherent to the inner run 18C due to the operation of the means 30.
  • the presser plate 33 compresses the pile P and reaches the level of the lower run 36A of the upper conveyor 36, and the slide 32 translates in the direction W3, which brings the ends of the base plate 8 and the presser plate to strike the sheet F.
  • step relation with the above mentioned striking action the speed of the first and second belts 18, 22 reaches a speed VC, equal to the so-called "extrusion" speed.
  • the pusher 34 is operated to "extrude” the pile P, compressed between the opposite surfaces of the base plate 8 and the presser plate 33, and to introduce it between the runs 35A, 36A of the conveyors 35, 36.
  • the speed VC, with which the belts 18, 22 feed the upper portion of the sheet is equal to the extrusion speed of the pile.
  • the speed of the first and second endless belts 18, 22 is not set to zero; in other words, the speed VB passes directly to the speed VC (see the portion GX indicated with broken line in Figure 2) : this allows reducing the stresses caused to the sheet F by the speed variations and has the positive effect, when necessary, to it possible reduce the time needed to place the sheet F in waiting position in the working station So.
  • the functions of the presser plate 33 and of the base plate 8 are fulfilled by as many endless conveyors, operated in a suitable moment to fulfill also the function of the pusher, which therefore, is not necessary any more.
  • Sheets of smaller length are used for piles, whose size is smaller than the maximum one.
  • the distance is the same independently from the size of the sheet; when the size gets smaller, the machine speed, expressed in the number of packages per minute, increases, and consequently, also the sheet speed increases.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose a machine for packaging piles of articles into relative wrappings obtained from wrapping sheets, which allows an adjustment of the sheet feeding frequency to a working station, in relation to the length of the sheets, i.e. to the size of piles.
  • Another object of the present invention is to propose a machine which allows to increase the feeding frequency when the sheets length diminishes, all obtained in a rapid and automatic way, and without downtime for the machine.
  • a further object of the present invention is to propose a machine which achieves the above mentioned objects by a technical solution, which is simple, in comparison to the obtained results, and reliable.
  • Two working groups G1, G2, first and second respectively, are positioned one the other and in cascade to the slow branch 16.
  • the second working group G2 is situated at the above mentioned working station So.
  • the first group includes a pair of first endless conveying belts 118, only one of which is shown, mounted around idler wheels 119 and a driving wheel 120.
  • the inner runs 118A of the first belts face opposite inner runs 122A of corresponding second endless conveying belts 122 mounted around idler wheels 123 and a driving wheel 124.
  • the facing runs 118A, 122A of the belts engage, on opposite sides, the edges of the sheet F.
  • the driving wheels 120, 124 are operated synchronously by suitable motor means, not shown, controlled by a control unit C.
  • the second group G2 includes a pair of first endless working belts 78, only one of which is shown, trained around idler pulleys 79 and a driving pulley 80.
  • the inner run 78A of the belts passes through the station So and is acted on by suction means 30, which perform their action through holes made in the belts.
  • the initial portions of said inner runs 78A face the inner runs 88A of corresponding second endless working belts 88, trained around idler pulleys 89 and a driving pulley 90; the height of the lower idler wheel 89A is adjustable by tensioning means 95.
  • the inner runs 78A of the first belts 78 engage the edges of one face of the sheet F, while the inner runs 88A of the second belts, facing the inner runs of the first belts, engage the edges of the other face of the sheet in the upper part up to the working station So.
  • the driving wheels 80, 90 are operated synchronously by suitable motor means, not shown, controlled by a control unit C.
  • Figure 3 refers to the maximum size of the pile P, as the example.
  • Figures 4, 5 refer to the size P* smaller than the maximum one.
  • the reference F* indicates the sheet corresponding to the above mentioned size P*; this sheet is placed vertically and held in this position by the action of the facing runs 78A, 88A of the first and second working belts 78, 88, and by the adherence action performed on the inner runs 78A of the first belts 78 by the suction means 30.
  • the translation (in direction W3) of the slide 32 causes the ends of the base plate 8 and of the presser plate 33 to strike against the sheet F*; in step relation with this striking action, the first and second working belts 78, 88 are operated synchronously with the speed which is equal to the extrusion speed and which is maintained until the pile P* and the relative sheet F*, wrapping progressively three sides of the pile, are wholly introduced between the opposite runs 35A, 36A of the conveyors 35, 36.
  • the leading edge KA of the film K is introduced between the facing runs 118A, 122A of the belts of the first group G1, which pull the film K with a speed equal to the speed Vo of the slow branch 16: this is possible, because the first group G1 is not engaged by the previous sheet F*.
  • the leading edge KA of the film K is situated near the final part of the opposite runs 118A, 122A; therefore, the leading edge KA can be introduced between the opposite runs 78A, 88A of the first and second working belts 78, 88.
  • the working belts of the second group are aimed at transferring the sheet F* to the station So, where it is placed and held in the already described way.
  • the leading edge KA is moved as close as possible to the beginning of the opposite runs 78A, 88A of the working belts of the second group, and then to the working station So.
  • This feature allows to adapt the time needed to place the sheet F* in the station So, since the leading edge KA of the sheet can be placed as close as possible to the beginning of the opposite runs 78A, 88a of the working belts when the length of the sheet reduces: consequently, the distance to cover, and therefore, the speed, reduces together with the sane "machine duty cycle".
  • the groups G1, G2 are structurally independent, therefore they can be operated in different ways.
  • the proposed machine with reference to feeding sheets F, F* in the working station So, can increase the production rate by passing from the maximum size P of the pile to the smaller sizes P*.
