Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a system for conveying flexible packages, for the transfer thereof into the various workstations, for example for filling, vacuumizing, sealing, etc. of a packaging line, until the final package is obtained.
  • linear chain conveyors For conveying the packages linear chain conveyors are used, in which the packages, open, empty or already filled with the product, are gripped to the chain by means of special grippers with fixed distances between centres.
  • a device for discharging flexible packages from a conveying system including rigid containers moved by conveyor means and comprising grasping means for the containers is known, for example, from document EP-A-1 035 024. Since in said conveying system a distance between adjacent packages is provided, exactly the same drawbacks are encountered as those presented by the previously described conveyors.
  • the purpose of the invention is to eliminate the problems illustrated above presented by the conveyors according to the prior art.
  • a purpose of the invention is to provide a conveying system for flexible packages, which has practically no constraints as regards the maximum size of the packages that it can handle.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide such a system for transferring flexible packages as will enable working at high rates of output in the case of packages of very small dimensions.
  • a substantially rigid container is used for conveying flexible packages, which is designed to receive the flexible packages inside it.
  • such containers are independent of the conveying means and are transferred from one workstation to another set side by side one another, resting, for example, on a conveyor belt.
  • the various workstations for example the station for sealing the top flap of the packages, are sized in such a way as to be able to receive at least one package of the maximum size possible. In this way, in the case of packages of small dimensions, it is possible to process a number of packages at the same time.
  • the rigid container used in the conveying system according to the invention for receiving the flexible packages may be without a bottom or, with a bottom that can be opened in trap-door fashion, for allowing the finished package to drop through.
  • the reference number 1 designates a container that may be used in the system for conveying flexible packages according to the invention.
  • the container 1 is substantially rigid and may be made of metal, plastic or some other material. It has a box-like shape, which in the embodiment illustrated is substantially parallelepipedal, with a rectangular cross section, and has in practice just a skirt 2, which develops along the perimeter of the container, which is thus without top and bottom walls.
  • Figures 1-3 are also schematic illustrations of a flexible package 3, housed in the container 1, which is normally conveyed on a plane surface without constraints, as will be described in greater detail in what follows and as appears schematically, for example, in Figure 4.
  • the container 1, as shown in Figures 1-3, is designed without a bottom, so that the package 3, when completed, may be unloaded from the conveyor by dropping through an opening provided in the surface for conveying the containers.
  • the container 1 is not limited to the embodiment illustrated, but it may be provided with a bottom wall, which can be opened, for example, with a hinge, like a trap-door, when the package 3 has to be unloaded through an opening in the conveying surface.
  • the skirt 2 of the container 1 is envisaged as continuous and has a top edge 4 and a bottom edge 5 of the same thickness, which corresponds to the thickness of two small vertical central walls 6 set opposite to one another, provided on the skirt 2, whilst the remaining part of the skirt 2 has a smaller thickness, determining an ample undercut or removal of material 7, which constitutes a lightening of the structure of the container.
  • skirt 2 of the container 1 is shown made of full material, but it is evident that it may also be made appropriately slotted.
  • FIG. 4 is very schematic, and illustrates a plurality (three) of containers 1 that advance freely, just by friction, on the conveyor belt 10. Since the containers 1 are in reciprocal contact with one another, the conveyors upstream push the ones downstream, in the event of difficulty of advance of the latter, due, for example, to sliding.
  • the packaging line may conveniently be a continuously operating one, it being possible for the arrest or temporary slowing of the containers to be obtained with means that interfere therewith along the path of advance, including possibly the said arrests that insert into the cavities 7' that are formed between adjacent containers.
  • the conveying system according to the invention for the transfer of flexible packages in the various workstations, which uses the aforesaid rigid containers 1 for receiving the flexible packages 3, containers which are independent of the conveying means, eliminates any limit in the sizes of the packages to be conveyed, enables carrying-out of an extremely fast change of format, it being sufficient to replace the containers 1 with containers of the appropriate sizes, and enables maximum productivity to be achieved for any given format, the maximum rates of output being obviously reached for small formats.
  • Figures 5 and 6 illustrate, by way of example, the conveying of respective packages of various dimensions and hence with different distances between centres. More precisely, in the example of Figure 5, there are illustrated eight packages of sizes such as to occupy approximately the same longitudinal space as five larger containers illustrated in the example of Figure 6.
  • Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the step of sealing of the packages of different dimensions, represented, respectively, in Figure 5 and Figure 6, with the same sealing element that carries out multiple sealing, in order to demonstrate how the packaging line does not require any modifications or replacements of parts at each change of format.
  • the eight packages of Figure 5 and the five larger packages of Figure 6 are sealed simultaneously using the same sealing jaws 12.
  • the number of packages to be accumulated in the sealing station and to be sealed simultaneously is established on the basis of the size of the packages 3 so as to enable maximum productivity of the machine.
  • Figure 9 is a schematic top plan view of a packaging line with continuous operation, which can be obtained by exploiting the conveying system with the rigid containers 1 according to the invention.
  • the packaging line of Figure 9 comprises two linear stretches 20, 21 and one curved stretch 22, which develops around a carousel 23, with advance in the direction indicated by the arrow F.
  • the rectilinear stretch 20 there are envisaged three packaging machines 25, which feed the packages 3, possibly already filled with product, if they are of the filling-shaping type, to the containers 1 (not shown), which are sent towards the carousel 23, where various treatment stations (not shown) are envisaged, such as ones for opening and filling of the packages 3, if these are not pre-filled, and so forth.
  • the packages are then sent on to the sealing stations 12, of the type of which three are envisaged in the example of embodiment illustrated in Figure 9.
  • a store or storage unit of containers for the different formats of package with automatic transfer to the processing line.
  • the containers used previously are sent on towards the store, and the containers for the new package format are introduced into the circuit, with commands issued automatically, for example by means of a personal computer, and in any case without manual interventions by the user.
  • the containers can advance in parallel lines, the number of lines corresponding to the number of processing stations set in parallel, and to bring the containers back onto a single line so that they advance in series, where they are to undergo processing steps in fast processing stations.
