Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for the implementation of general cargo-like products in containers according to The preamble of claim 1 and 6 respectively.
  • Packaging systems for general cargo-like products often have to do the job of getting products from a manufacturing facility in a continuous but not imperative regular electricity is delivered, in groups in containers bottling.
  • a device has proven itself here in which the products on a feed conveyor of a conveyor and grouping unit are fed individually, there grouped during further transport and then transported by a picker as a group on a conveyor Containers are implemented.
  • a sufficient performance to get in the implementation generally two or more funding and grouping units alternately operated by the picker.
  • the implementation performance however limited by the performance of the picker.
  • the use of several pickers, or one picker per conveyor and implementation unit often comes from cost reasons and / or Space reasons out of the question.
  • EP-A-0'496'0406 discloses a transfer device for general cargo products with a single conveyor and Grouping.
  • This unit has a rotating conveyor belt with several trays to hold individual products on. The shells are between two holding means held and grouped. If the group is complete, so be the products are ejected as a group using a slide, picked up by a robot arm and in put the container down. The performance of this facility is through the use of a single conveyor and grouping unit not too high.
  • WO 97/11014 also discloses a transfer device for General cargo-like products with a single, similar structure Conveying and grouping unit.
  • the grouped Products also ejected using a slide, whereby they go directly into a packaging unit.
  • WO 96/41760 shows a further embodiment of a conveyor and grouping unit, which two rotating conveyor chains with carriers that can be plugged onto it in a selectable division and has counterholders.
  • DE-A-3'842'556 shows a picker which grouped Products from a first product conveyor to one second product conveyor or on a container conveyor implements. If a container conveyor is available, the second product conveyor as storage for surplus groups used.
  • DE-A-4'404'744 describes an insertion station with a feed conveyor and a container conveyor running perpendicular to it. At an angle thus formed is one Clipboard available. The products are from the feed conveyor pushed onto this clipboard, regrouped there and inserted into the container by a transfer agent. The regrouping takes time and limits Performance of the device.
  • EP-A-0'526'403 in which individually delivered products by individual Grippers picked up and in an orderly row on one Wing are stored. There they are from one Slide the slider into the container provided.
  • At least one, preferably for each Conveyor and transfer unit has its own clipboard, whereby the products are always grouped by the and grouping unit implemented on the clipboard and placed in a container by a picker become.
  • the picker alternately operates the Clipboards of the various funding and grouping units.
  • the implementation of the individual groups by the funding and grouping units on the clipboard is faster than putting the group from the clipboard into the containers, that is, the transfer agent works faster than the picker or the path to be covered is shorter. This allows the picker to be used optimize and thus the performance of the entire device increase.
  • the grouped products on the clipboard In a preferred variant of the method, the grouped products on the clipboard.
  • Other Implementing agents such as a picker, are, however also possible.
  • the conveying directions run of the individual funding and grouping units as well of a container conveyor parallel to each other. Other arrangements are also possible.
  • the downtime is the funding and grouping units minimized.
  • the product can be fed continuously and buffer storage between the feed conveyor and grouping unit yourself.
  • Figure 1 is a first embodiment of the invention Transfer device shown. It shows a first and a second feed conveyor 1, 1 ', which of General cargo-like products coming from a production plant P feed into the device.
  • the products P can for example Biscuits that are not or already prepacked, chocolate bars or dough rolls.
  • the feed conveyors 1, 1 ' are promoters of a known type, for example chain or Belt conveyors.
  • the products P are individually and in one continuous current supplied. The distances between the Products or their orientation on the feed conveyors 1, 1 ', however, does not have to be regular be constant.
  • the funding directions of the individual sponsors and units are in the Figures shown with arrows.
  • the conveying direction of the feed conveyors 1, 1 ' runs in the same plane as the conveying direction of the associated one Conveying and grouping unit 2, 2 ', but perpendicular to this.
  • Other arrangements are possible.
  • the product transfer laterally or in the axial direction of both Sponsors take place. The products can be handed over in a different direction.
  • a single feed conveyor 1, 1 ' supplies two or more conveyor and grouping units 2, 2 '.
  • the conveying speeds of the individual feed conveyors 1, 1 ' are preferably independent of one another. In In one embodiment, typically up to 350 products transported per minute and per feed conveyor.
  • the products are in the conveyor and grouping units 2, 2 ' P combined into predefined groups G.
  • Conveying and grouping units 2, 2 ' are known. Examples of which were already in the introduction to the description mentioned. They are therefore not described in detail here. They are usually used as circulating conveyors, for example designed as a belt or chain conveyor. ever according to the type of products P, they are with receptacles, carriers or other grouping means.
  • a transfer station In the conveying direction of the conveying and grouping units 2, 2 ' a transfer station is located downstream at the lower end with a transfer agent 4, 4 '.
  • a transfer agent 4, 4 ' Preferably everyone is Conveying and grouping units 2, 2 'have their own means of implementation 4, 4 'assigned. Adjacent to this transfer agent 4, 4 ' there is a clipboard 3, 3 '.
  • each conveyor and grouping unit 2, 2 ' also has its own Clipboard 3, 3 'assigned.
  • Each clipboard 3, 3 ' is preferably designed as a plate, whose surface with the conveying surface of the associated Conveying and grouping unit 2, 2 'is aligned. Leave it but also rakes or other suitable storage elements use as clipboards 3, 3 '. Preferably located the clipboards 3, 3 'on a common Line, which in this example is perpendicular to the conveying direction the conveyor and grouping units 2, 2 'runs.
  • the transfer means 4, 4 ' is preferably designed as a slide. However, other types, such as pickers, are also suitable.
  • the conversion means 4, 4 ' is preferably pneumatically operated. It becomes a very quick means of implementation 4, 4 'and / or the one to be covered by him Path is kept extremely short.
  • the device further comprises at least one container conveyor 6, which container B to fill in the area the clipboards 3, 3 'promotes. Preferably runs also the conveying direction of the container conveyor 6 in parallel to the conveying direction of the conveying and grouping units 2, 2 '.
