Description

Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln an einen Lineartransport Device for transferring bags to a linear conveyor
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln an einen Lineartransport .The invention relates to a device for transferring bags to a linear transport.
Der Transport von Beuteln, die beispielsweise durch Einsiegeln von Ausgießern in diese Beutel bearbeitet werden, mit Hilfe eines Lineartransportes ist aus einer ebenfalls auf die Anmelderin der vorliegenden Anmeldung zurückzugehenden und am selben Tag eingereichten Patentanmeldung bekannt .The transport of bags, which are processed, for example, by sealing spouts into these bags, with the aid of a linear transport is known from a patent application which was also filed with the applicant of the present application and filed on the same day.
Die in Rede stehenden Beutel werden als Verpackungen für schüttfähige oder fließfähige, also füllfähige Güter verwendet. Sie bestehen in der Regel aus einem mehrlagigen Kunststoffverbundmaterial. Derartige Beutel finden insbesondere als Standbodenbeutel zunehmend Verwendung, da sie aufgrund ihrer flexiblen äußeren Hülle beim Transport der vollen Beutel und der Entsorgung der leeren Beutel erhebliche Vorteile bieten.The bags in question are used as packaging for pourable or flowable, ie fillable goods. They usually consist of a multi-layer plastic composite material. Such bags are increasingly used in particular as stand-up pouches, since they offer considerable advantages due to their flexible outer envelope when transporting the full pouch and disposing of the empty pouch.
Das Einsiegeln von Ausgießern in derartige Beutel ist aus dem Stand der Technik in einer Vielzahl von Ausgestaltungen bekannt. Grundsätzlich muss zum Einsiegeln des Ausgießers der Beutel unter Umständen zunächst beschnitten werden, dann geöffnet werden, um das Einsetzen des Ausgießers in die Öffnung im Beutel zu ermöglichen, woraufhin der dann in der Beutelöffnung befindliche Ausgießer mit Hilfe von Siegelbacken mit dem Beutel dicht versiegelt wird.The sealing of spouts in such bags is known from the prior art in a variety of configurations. Basically, to seal the spout, the bag may need to be trimmed first, then opened to allow the spout to be inserted into the opening in the bag, and then the one in the bag opening Pourer is sealed tightly with the bag using sealing jaws.
Die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Einsiegeln von Ausgießern in Beutel arbeiten in der Regel getaktet bei einem Transport der Beutel in der Vorrichtung auf einer Kreisbahn. Diese Bewegung auf einer Kreisbahn ist die gängige Methode, da die Beutel in der Regel mit Greifern gehalten werden, die nach dem Aufnehmen und Bearbeiten der Beutel wieder zurück an den Aufnahmepunkt zu transportieren sind.The devices known from the prior art for sealing spouts in bags generally operate in a clocked manner when the bags are transported in a circular path in the device. This movement on a circular path is the common method, since the bags are usually held with grippers, which are to be transported back to the pick-up point after picking up and processing the bags.
Aus der bereits oben erwähnten parallelen Patentanmeldung ist die Verwendung eines von zwei Transportriemen gebildeten Lineartransports für die Beutel zum Transport beim Einsiegeln von Ausgießern bekannt.From the parallel patent application already mentioned, the use of a linear transport formed by two transport belts for the bags for transport when sealing spouts is known.
Ausgehend von den obigen Ausführungen liegt der vorliegenden Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln an einen Lineartransport zur Verfügung zu stellen, welche eine präzise Übergabe mit hoher Frequenz gewährleistet.Based on the above statements, the present invention has for its object to provide a device for transferring bags to a linear conveyor, which ensures precise transfer at high frequency.
Erfindungsgemäß ist die zuvor hergeleitete und aufgezeigte Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, dass eine Anlegerstation zum vereinzelten Zuführen der Beutel auf einen unteren Transportriemen des Lineartransportes und ein abhebbares Andruckelement oberhalb des unteren Transportriemens vorgesehen sind.According to the invention, the previously derived and shown object is achieved in that an feed station for the individual feeding of the bags onto a lower transport belt of the linear transport and a detachable pressure element above the lower transport belt are provided.
Bei einer Anlegerstation handelt es sich um aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte und erprobte, zuverlässig arbeitende Systeme zum Vereinzeln und Zuführen von flachen Produkten, wie sie beispielsweise von der Firma KÖRA-Packmat hergestellt werden.An feeder station is a system of well-known and tried-and-tested, reliable working systems for separating and feeding flat products, such as those made by KÖRA-Packmat.
Mit Hilfe der Anlegerstation werden erfindungsgemäß die vereinzelten Beutel mit hoher Taktfrequenz auf einen unteren Transportriemen des Lineartransports transportiert. Dieser Transport geschieht beim abgehobenen Andruckelement . Das Andruckelement senkt sich nach abgeschlossener Zufuhr auf den Beutel ab und drückt ihn gegen den unteren Transportriemen, so dass der angedrückte Beutel bei der nächsten Transportbewegung des Transportriemens in den Riemenspalt zwischen beiden Transportriemen des Lineartransports transportiert wird. Durch die einfache Konstruktion der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung lassen sich hohe Taktfrequenzen erzielen.With the aid of the feeder station, according to the invention, the individual bags are transported at a high clock frequency onto a lower transport belt of the linear transport. This transport occurs when the pressure element is lifted off. After the supply has been completed, the pressure element lowers onto the bag and presses it against the lower transport belt, so that the pressed-on bag is transported into the belt gap between the two transport belts of the linear transport the next time the transport belt is moved. The simple design of the device according to the invention enables high clock frequencies to be achieved.
Es ist denkbar, dass abhebbare Andruckelement mit Hilfe des oberen Transportriemens des Riementransportes zu verwirklichen. Dies ist jedoch aufgrund der nicht unerheblichen auf die Transportriemen wirkenden Beschleunigungskräfte und der erforderlichen Lagerung problematisch. Dadurch, da das abhebbare Andruckelement mindestens eine Rolle aufweist, ist eine hinreichend sichere Übergabe des angedrückten Beutels in den Riemenspalt bei gleichzeitig einfacher Konstruktion gewährleistet. Denkbar ist auch die Verwendung eines starren Andruckelementes, wobei aufgrund der während des Transports aus dem Spalt zwischen dem Andruckelement und dem unteren Transportriemen in den Riemenspalt entstehenden Reibung zwischen Andruckelement und Beutel Oberflächenbeschädigungen des Beutels nicht ausgeschlossen werden können. Dadurch, dass die Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln auf einem gegenüber dem Lineartransport verschwenkbaren Tisch angeordnet ist, ist gewährleistet, dass die Beutel in einem beliebigen Winkel an den Lineartransport übergeben werden können. Dieser Winkel wird bestimmt durch den Winkel, in dem der Ausgießer in den Beutel relativ zum Transport des Beutels mit Hilfe der Anlegerstation eingesiegelt werden soll .It is conceivable for the pressure element which can be lifted off to be realized with the aid of the upper transport belt for the belt transport. However, this is problematic due to the considerable acceleration forces acting on the transport belts and the necessary storage. As a result of the fact that the pressure element which can be lifted off has at least one roller, a sufficiently secure transfer of the pressed-on bag into the belt gap is ensured with a simple construction at the same time. It is also conceivable to use a rigid pressure element, whereby surface damage to the bag cannot be ruled out due to the friction between the pressure element and the bag that occurs during transport from the gap between the pressure element and the lower transport belt into the belt gap. The fact that the device for transferring bags is arranged on a table which can be pivoted with respect to the linear transport ensures that the bags can be transferred to the linear transport at any angle. This angle is determined by the angle at which the spout is to be sealed into the bag relative to the transport of the bag using the feeder station.
Um eine präzise Positionierung der Beutel auf dem unteren Transportriemen zu gewährleisten, sollte in Zufuhrrichtung der Beutel ein Anschlag an der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vorgesehen sein. Vorteilhaferweise ist die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung dadurch ausgestaltet, dass in Zufuhrrichtung der Beutel ein abhebbarer Anschlag vorgesehen ist. Durch die Möglichkeit, den Anschlag abzuheben, wird gewährleistet, dass auch bei einem Winkel verschieden von 90° zwischen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung und dem Lineartransport eine Beschädigung der an dem Anschlag anliegenden Beutelecke sicher vermieden wird. Während der Zufuhr des Beutels ist der Anschlag abgesenkt und wird nach abgeschlossener Zufuhr angehoben, um die am Anschlag anliegende Ecke des Beutels nicht beim Transport zu blockieren.In order to ensure a precise positioning of the bags on the lower transport belt, a stop should be provided on the device according to the invention in the direction of feed of the bags. The device according to the invention is advantageously designed in such a way that a stop which can be lifted off is provided in the feed direction of the bag. The possibility of lifting the stop ensures that even at an angle other than 90 ° between the device according to the invention and the linear transport, damage to the corner of the bag lying against the stop is reliably avoided. While the bag is being fed, the stop is lowered and is raised after the feed has been completed so as not to block the corner of the bag which abuts the stop during transport.
Eine quer zur Zufuhrrichtung präzise Positionierung der Beutel ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung dadurch gewährleistet, dass ein im wesentlichen quer zur Zufuhrrichtung der Beutel arbeitender, absenkbarer Zentrieranschlag vorgesehen ist. Mit Hilfe dieses Zentrieranschlages werden die von der Anlegerstation auf den oberen Transportriemen transportierten Beutel durch Bewegung des Anschlages in Richtung quer zur Zufuhrrichtung zwischen dem Zentrieranschlag und einem auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite der Beutel angeordneten Abschlussanschlag präzise zentriert. Diese Zentrierung ist insbesondere im Hinblick auf die getaktete Bewegung der Transportriemen und die exakte Positionierung der in den Transportriemen transportierten Beuteln relativ zu den Bearbeitungsstationen für die Beutel bedeutsam.According to a further embodiment, a precise positioning of the bags transversely to the feed direction is ensured by the fact that a lowerable centering stop which works essentially transversely to the feed direction is provided. With the help of this centering stop, the bags transported from the feeder station to the upper transport belt are moved transversely to the stop by moving the stop Direction of feed between the centering stop and a terminating stop arranged on the opposite side of the bags are precisely centered. This centering is particularly important with regard to the clocked movement of the transport belts and the exact positioning of the bags transported in the transport belts relative to the processing stations for the bags.
Um sicherzustellen, dass die Beutel bei der Zufuhr mit Hilfe der Anlegerstation zwischen den unteren Transportriemen und das abhebbare Andruckelement sicher geführt werden, ist ein oberes, mit dem unteren Transportriemen einen Zuführspalt bildendes Führungselement vorgesehen. Dieses Führungselement ist nicht abhebbar und bildet mit dem unteren Transportriemen einen eventuell einstellbaren aber während der Zufuhr der Beutel festen Zuführspalt .In order to ensure that the bags are securely guided between the lower transport belt and the detachable pressure element when they are fed in with the aid of the feeder station, an upper guide element which forms a feed gap with the lower transport belt is provided. This guide element cannot be lifted off and, together with the lower transport belt, forms a feed gap which may be adjustable but is fixed during the supply of the bags.
Dadurch, dass zwischen dem Führungselement und dem unteren Transportriemen zumindest abschnittsweise ein unteres Führungsblech vorgesehen ist, ist gewährleistet, dass der Beutel bei der Zufuhr zunächst im wesentlichen ohne Berührung des unteren Transportriemens in die gewünschte Position transportiert wird. Dies ist für eine exakte Positionierung von Vorteil, da die Oberfläche der Transportriemen für den Transport zweckmäßigerweise einen hohen Gleitreibungskoeffizienten aufweist, welcher jedoch für eine exakte Positionierung bei der Übergabe nicht hilfreich ist. Der Kontakt zwischen Beutel und Transportriemen wird vorzugsweise erst nach abgeschlossener Positionierung mit Hilfe des absenkbaren Andruckelementes hergestellt. Es gibt nun eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten, die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln an einen Lineartransport auszugestalten und weiterzubilden. Hierzu wird beispielsweise verwiesen einerseits auf die dem Patentanspruch 1 nachgeordneten Patentansprüche, andererseits auf die Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausfuhrungsbeispiels in Verbindung mit der Zeichnung. In der Zeichnung zeigtThe fact that at least sections of a lower guide plate is provided between the guide element and the lower transport belt ensures that the bag is initially transported to the desired position essentially without touching the lower transport belt. This is advantageous for exact positioning, since the surface of the transport belts expediently has a high coefficient of sliding friction for transport, which, however, is not helpful for exact positioning during transfer. The contact between the bag and the transport belt is preferably established only after the positioning has been completed using the lowerable pressure element. There are now a large number of possibilities for designing and developing the device according to the invention for transferring bags to a linear transport. For this purpose, reference is made, for example, on the one hand to the claims subordinate to claim 1, and on the other hand to the description of a preferred exemplary embodiment in conjunction with the drawing. In the drawing shows

Das in Fig. 1 dargestellte Ausführungsbeispiel einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln 1 an ein Lineartransport 2 weist einen Bandförderer 3 als Puffer für die dem Magazin 4 der Anlegerstation 5 zuzuführenden Beutel 1 auf . Die Reibriemen 6 der Anlegerstation 5 transportieren die Beutel 1 in vereinzelter Form auf einen unteren Transportriemen 7 des Lineartransportes 2. Dieser Transport erfolgt bei abgehobenem Andruckelement 8. Nach Abschluss des Transportes eines Beutels 1 auf den unteren Transportriemen 7 wird das Andruckelement 8 abgesenkt, wodurch der Beutel 1 in innigen Kontakt mit dem unteren Transportriemen 7 kommt. Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel weist das Andruckelement 8 ein Stellglied 9 und vier Andruckrollen 10 auf (vgl. Fig. 2) . Sobald das Andruckelement 8 einen Beutel 1 an den unteren Transportriemen 7 des Lineartransportes 2 andrückt, kann der Lineartransport 2 in Gang gesetzt werden, wodurch die Beutel 1 im Riemenspalt zu nur beispielhaft dargestellten Bearbeitungsstationen 11,12 getaktet transportiert werden. Es ist unmittelbar einsichtig, dass die Beutelübergabe und die Bearbeitungsstationen in einem gleichmäßigen Raster angeordnet sein müssen, um eine getaktete Bearbeitung der Beutel 1 zu ermöglichen.The exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 of a device according to the invention for transferring bags 1 to a linear transport 2 has a belt conveyor 3 as a buffer for the bags 1 to be fed to the magazine 4 of the feeder station 5. The friction belts 6 of the feeder station 5 transport the bags 1 in individual form onto a lower transport belt 7 of the linear transport 2. This transport takes place when the pressing element 8 is lifted off Bag 1 comes into intimate contact with the lower conveyor belt 7. In the illustrated embodiment, the pressure element 8 has an actuator 9 and four pressure rollers 10 (see FIG. 2). As soon as the pressure element 8 presses a bag 1 onto the lower transport belt 7 of the linear transport 2, the linear transport 2 can be started, whereby the bags 1 are transported clocked in the belt gap to processing stations 11, 12 which are only shown as examples. It is immediately apparent that the bag transfer and the processing stations must be arranged in a uniform grid in order to enable the bags 1 to be processed in a timed manner.
Aus Fig. 1 ist ersichtlich, dass die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Übergabe von Beuteln 1 an einen Lineartransport 2 mit Bandförderer 3, Anlegerstation 5 und Übergabebereich 13 gegenüber dem Lineartransport 2 verschwenkbar angeordnet sind. Der in Fig. 1 von der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung und dem Lineartransport 2 eingeschlossene Winkel von etwa 120° kann somit in weiten Bereichen variiert werden. Entsprechend können die Beutel 1 in verschiedenen Winkeln an den Lineartransport 2 übergeben werden.It can be seen from FIG. 1 that the device according to the invention for transferring bags 1 to a linear conveyor 2 with a belt conveyor 3, feeder station 5 and transfer area 13 can be pivoted relative to the linear conveyor 2. The angle of approximately 120 ° enclosed by the device according to the invention and the linear transport 2 in FIG. 1 can thus be varied within wide ranges. Accordingly, the bags 1 can be transferred to the linear transport 2 at different angles.
Die Beutel 1 werden von der Anlegerstation 5 an einen abhebbaren Anschlag 14 transportiert. Dieser Anschlag 14 weist ein Stellglied 15 und ein Anschlagelement 16 auf. Sobald die Beutel 1 auf dem unteren Transportriemen 7 positioniert sind und mit Hilfe des Andruckelementes 8 auf dem unteren Transportriemen 7 fixiert sind kann das Anschlagelement 16 abgehoben werden, um einen einwandfreien Transport der Beutel 1 zu gewährleisten.The bags 1 are transported from the feeder station 5 to a detachable stop 14. This stop 14 has an actuator 15 and a stop element 16. As soon as the bags 1 are positioned on the lower transport belt 7 and are fixed on the lower transport belt 7 with the aid of the pressure element 8, the stop element 16 can be lifted off in order to ensure that the bags 1 are transported properly.
Vor dem Absenken des Andruckelementes 8 erfolgt eine exakte Positionierung dadurch, dass mit Hilfe eines Zentrieranschlages 17 die Beutel 1 auch quer zur Zufuhrrichtung zentriert werden. Hierzu wird ein Zentrieranschlagelement 18 von einem Stellglied 19 in Richtung eines Abschlussanschlages 20 bewegt und hierdurch der Beutel lzwischen dem Zentrieranschlagelement 18 und dem Abschlussanschlag 20 zentriert. Über ein weiteres Stellglied 21 ist das Zentrieranschlagelement 18 absenkbar, so dass die Übergabe eines Beutels 1 an den Lineartransport 2 nicht behindert wird.Before the pressure element 8 is lowered, an exact positioning takes place in that the bags 1 are also centered transversely to the feed direction with the aid of a centering stop 17. For this, a Centering stop element 18 is moved by an actuator 19 in the direction of a closing stop 20, thereby centering the bag 1 between the centering stop element 18 and the closing stop 20. The centering stop element 18 can be lowered via a further actuator 21, so that the transfer of a bag 1 to the linear transport 2 is not hindered.
Eine sichere Zufuhr der Beutel 1 von der Anlegerstation 5 in den Übergabebereich 13 wird durch ein oberes Führungselement 22 gewährleistet, welches mit dem unteren Transportriemen 7 einen Zuführspalt für die Beutel 1 bildet. Auf den oberen Führungselement 22 ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel eine Führungsschiene 23 zur verstellbaren Befestigung des Anschlages 14 vorgesehen, so dass die Position des Anschlages 14 an verschiedene Beutelgrößen angepasst werden kann.A secure feed of the bags 1 from the feeder station 5 into the transfer area 13 is ensured by an upper guide element 22, which forms a feed gap for the bags 1 with the lower transport belt 7. In the illustrated embodiment, a guide rail 23 is provided on the upper guide element 22 for the adjustable fastening of the stop 14, so that the position of the stop 14 can be adapted to different bag sizes.
Schließlich ist zwischen dem oberen Führungselement 22 und dem unteren Transportriemen 7 zumindest abschnittsweise ein unteres Führungsblech 24 angeordnet, welches einen für eine exakte Positionierung hinderlichen Kontakt der Beutel 1 mit dem unteren Transportriemen 7 vor dem Andrücken des Beutels 1 mit Hilfe des Andruckelementes 8 an den unteren Transportriemen 7 weitestgehend vermeidet und so eine exakte Positionierung gewährleistet. In diesem unteren Führungsblech 24 ist, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, eine Ausnehmung 25 für das Andruckelement 8 vorgesehen.Finally, between the upper guide element 22 and the lower transport belt 7, a lower guide plate 24 is arranged at least in sections, which prevents the bags 1 from making contact with the lower transport belt 7 before the bag 1 is pressed against the lower one with the aid of the pressing element 8 Transport belt 7 largely avoided and thus ensures an exact positioning. In this lower guide plate 24, as shown in FIG. 1, a recess 25 is provided for the pressure element 8.
Zur weiteren Funktionsweise des Lineartransportes 2, der im wesentlichen aus dem unteren Transportriemen 7 und dem oberen Transportriemen 26 besteht, wird auf die bereits eingangs erwährte, mit gleichem Datum eingereichte Anmeldung verwiesen. For further functioning of the linear transport 2, which essentially consists of the lower transport belt 7 and the upper transport belt 26, reference is made to the application already mentioned at the beginning, filed on the same date.
