Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing a packaging unit for plate-shaped workpieces from a filled lower box and a separate upper box blank.
  • plate-shaped workpieces such as furniture fronts, carcass parts, panels, insulating or building panels or the like are packed in suitable containers such as cardboard boxes after their manufacture.
  • suitable containers such as cardboard boxes after their manufacture.
  • top box is very difficult to place on top of the bottom box, since, for example, the top box can tilt when placing the dimensions of top and bottom Lower carton can not be properly matched or one of the cartons undergoes changes in shape during manufacture that can hinder the placement of the upper carton.
  • These disadvantages of the prior art are particularly pronounced when the top box is placed on the bottom box by machine, as is customary nowadays. Overall, these problems always result in disruptions in the process sequence for packaging the workpieces.
  • a further method for forming a packaging unit In addition to the method described, the applicant is also aware of a further method for forming a packaging unit.
  • a one-piece blank is used, from which the bottom and top boxes are integrally formed.
  • a base box is first produced from a first section of the blank by folding and gluing, and has a second section of unfolded blank on one edge of its loading opening. After this carton has been loaded with workpieces, the second section, which is connected to the filled lower carton, becomes an upper carton by folding and gluing formed, which closes the bottom box.
  • this procedure has a number of disadvantages. For example, the one-piece cut for top and bottom boxes is more difficult to manufacture and handle than separate cuts.
  • the second section protruding laterally from the folded lower box is often a hindrance when filling and conveying the lower box and, like the pivoting of the second section when forming the upper box, requires additional space.
  • the upper and lower cartons always consist of the same material in this method, while it is often desirable, in particular for optical reasons, to design the upper carton from a different, in particular higher quality or optically appealing and possibly printable material.
  • the invention is based on the idea of integrating the forming of the upper box and the connection of the same to the lower box in terms of process technology, in order to thereby improve and simplify the overall process.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention consist in particular in that the process sequence is significantly simplified. Since the upper carton is placed as a cardboard blank aligned with the lower carton, the problems described above when placing a finished upper carton are eliminated, since the upper and lower cartons cannot jam or jam.
  • the method according to the invention is therefore also particularly suitable for mechanical implementation.
  • it can be integrated with the lower carton integrally with the formation of the upper carton. This saves an additional process step and prevents problems when gluing the top and bottom boxes.
  • there is no disruption to the upstream method steps for example due to protruding cardboard gates, since the cardboard blank of the upper cardboard is formed separately and is only introduced into the method in the last method segment.
  • the method according to the invention offers great freedom of design with regard to the design of the top box, for example the materials used or different optical effects, since the top box is formed from a separate blank.
  • the bottom box can be made of a simple material and the top box can be made of a higher quality material that can be printed.
  • the lower carton is partially provided with adhesive, in particular with HotMelt, for connection to the upper carton.
  • adhesive in particular with HotMelt
  • the method according to the invention is particularly advantageous if the formation of the top box and the connection with the Sub-box is at least partially carried out in a continuous process, since then a continuous and rapid process sequence is made possible. It is particularly preferred according to a woman's formation of the present invention that the formation of the upper carton and the connection to the lower carton are carried out in a continuous process by means of rollers which bear against the upper carton blank for applying tabs to the latter.
  • Such a method was described by the applicant in the subsequently published German patent application with the official file number 101 49 053.4. With the aid of this method, a particularly undisturbed and continuous process sequence results, in which disruptive counter-pressure elements in the area of the folding edges can be dispensed with, so that the construction and control of the folding device is also simplified.
  • the method according to the invention can be carried out particularly advantageously with the device for carrying out this method according to claim 5.
  • This device is preferably designed such that it enables the method to be carried out in continuous operation.
  • the device features of claims 6 to 8 enable the implementation of the particularly advantageous method according to claim 3, in that according to claim 6 at least one folding device has a set of rollers with rollers arranged one behind the other in the conveying direction of the lower carton, which bear against the upper carton blank for applying tabs thereon. This enables the upper and outer cartons to be formed and connected at the same time as they pass through the lower and upper cartons.
  • the axes of the rollers run essentially parallel to the plane of the tabs to be applied when the tabs are applied and do not form a right angle with respect to a folding edge formed when the tabs are applied, ie the rollers are inclined with respect to the direction of passage.
  • the rollers create a frictional force between the rollers and the tabs to be applied, which, according to the invention, makes it possible to dispense with counter-pressure elements in the area of the folded edge, as is described in detail in the subsequently published German patent application with the official file number 101 49 053.4.
  • the rolls are preferably pivotable about the folded edge and / or rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the tabs to be created. This results in increased flexibility of the folding device, as is also described in the post-published German patent application with the official file number 101 49 053.4.
  • the folding devices can also have conventional roller sets, swivel arms, swivel flaps, guide surfaces or deflection shoes.
  • FIG. 1 shows a stack 11 'of bottom box blanks 11, which each have longitudinal side flaps 12, corner flaps 13, narrow side flaps 14, long side folding edges 15 and narrow side folding edges 16.
  • a bottom box blank 11 is removed from the stack 11 '(FIG. 2) and the narrow side flaps 14 are each provided with two adhesive points 17 (FIG. 3).
  • the corner flaps 13 are then folded by 90 ° around the narrow side folding edge 16 (FIG. 4), and the long side flaps 12 are folded by 90 ° around the long side folding edges 15 until the corner flaps 13 lie against the base area of the bottom carton blank 11 (FIG. 5).
  • FIGS. 7 through 12 illustrate a method for forming an upper box 20 on the previously manufactured and filled lower box 10 and for connecting the same according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • 7 shows a stack 21 'of upper carton blanks 21, each of which has a longitudinal side flap 22, a corner flap 23, a narrow side flap 24, a long side folding edge 25 and a narrow side folding edge 26.
  • the bottom box 10 filled with plate-shaped workpieces 3 is provided with adhesive strips 27 in the region of its narrow side flaps 14 (FIG. 8), an adhesive of the HotMelt type preferably being used.
  • a The upper carton blank 21 is removed from the stack 21 'and aligned on the lower carton 10 filled with plate-shaped workpieces 3. Aligned here means that the folded edges 25, 26 of the upper carton blank 21 essentially align with the edges of the loading opening of the lower carton 10. As can be seen in FIG.
  • the narrow side flaps 24 are folded together with the corner flaps 23 of the upper carton blank 21 around the folded edge 26 until the narrow side flaps 24 of the upper carton blank 21 rest against the narrow side flaps 14 of the lower carton 10 and through the adhesive strips 27 a connection between the upper carton blank and the lower carton is achieved.
  • the directions of the folding processes are shown again by arrows in the drawings.
  • the corner flaps 23 of the upper carton blank 21 are then folded around the corner folding edge 29 until they abut the longitudinal side flaps 12 of the lower carton 10 (FIG. 10).
  • the corner tabs 23 are held in this position, while the longitudinal side tab 12 and the outside of the corner tabs 23 are provided with an adhesive strip 28 (FIG. 11).
  • the longitudinal side flaps 22 of the upper carton blank 21 are finally folded around the folded edges 25 until they abut the longitudinal side flaps 12 of the lower carton 10 or the corner flap 22 of the upper carton blank 21 and are connected to the latter by the adhesive strip 28 (FIG. 11). , so that finally the packaging unit 1 shown in FIG. 12 with the finished and connected upper carton 20 is obtained.
  • the device 30 has a folding device 31 for producing a lower box 10 in accordance with the method shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a filling section 32 for filling a bottom box 10 with plate-shaped workpieces 3, conveyor belts 33 for conveying the bottom box through the device 30, a vacuum suction traverse, not shown, for the aligned placement of a top box blank 21 on the bottom box 10, adhesive nozzles 34 for providing the bottom box and the top box with adhesive, and a folding device 35 for Form the top box on the filled bottom box and connect the top box to the bottom box.
  • the folding device 35 is preferably a device for folding plate-shaped elements, as is described in detail in the subsequently published German patent application with the official file number 101 49 053.4.
  • a bottom box blank 11 is removed from the stack 11 'and inserted into the folding device 31, where a bottom box 10 is formed in accordance with the method shown in FIGS. 1 to 6.
  • This sub-box 10 is conveyed by means of conveyor belts 33 to the filling section 32, where plate-shaped workpieces 3 are placed in the sub-box 10.
  • the filled lower carton 10 is then conveyed to adhesive nozzles 34 by means of further conveyor belts 33 and provided with adhesive there as shown in FIG. 8. Subsequently, as also shown in FIG.
  • an upper box blank 21 is removed from the stack 21 'by means of a vacuum suction traverse, not shown, and placed in alignment on the lower box 10. Thereupon, the narrow side and corner flaps 23, 24 of the upper carton blank 21 are applied to the lower carton 10 by a slide (not shown) coming from above (FIGS. 9 and 10).
  • the packaging unit is completed by folding and applying the longitudinal side flaps 22 of the upper carton blank 21, the folding preferably being carried out using the method and the device described in the subsequently published German patent application with the official file number 101 49 053.4.
