Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a machine which automatically dispenses protective, separation dividers for groups of bottles and which is intended for bottle packaging lines.
  • Bottle packaging industry has employed numerous systems for preventing the breakage and damage of bottles caused by their clinking together when being packaged in boxes intended for containing groups of bottles, as well as by their transport, storage and distribution.
  • separation dividers intended to provide the packaging of groups of bottles with reticular spatial structures capable of lodging the bottles preventing thereby the damage thereof caused by mutual contact.
  • separation dividers are those described in Spanish Patents N° 9400980 and N° 9601786, consisting of an assembly of reticular dividers storable in the form of sheets folded upon themselves.
  • the object of this invention in intended to solve the above disadvantages, the said invention consisting of a continuous operation machine that automates the formation of the spatial structures for the separation dividers and the dispensing of the said protective separating units in packaging lines for groups of bottles.
  • the machine of the present invention is highly multifunctional and can be easily adapted to several analogous separation dividers, through the selection of suitable guiding bodies. Further, it can dispense separation dividers both, in the interior of boxes, which can be empty of bottles or not, or in a loose condition for further inserting bottles and thereafter introducing the assembly in boxes or in groups of bottles that shall subsequently be placed in their corresponding box or packing.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the travel made by the machine carrying a separation divider from the moment of removal thereof from the storage pack to the insertion thereof in the packaging for groups of bottles.
  • Figure 2 is a partial perspective view of the machine of the invention that shows a detail of both the machine's removal mechanism of separation dividers from the storage pack and the fastening mechanism of the said separation dividers.
  • Figure 3 is a lateral view of the removal mechanism of separation dividers from the storage pack.
  • Figure 4 is a detail of the frame expanding mechanism of the machine of the invention.
  • Figure 5 is perspective view of a gripping claw in accordance with one the preferred embodiments of the invention.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view of the machine showing the guiding bodies for the final alignment of the separation dividers.
  • the machine object of the present invention comprises a frame or fixed support (15) along which endless motor-driven chains (2) move, not shown.
  • endless motor-driven chains (2) move, not shown.
  • gripping claws (3) for the separation dividers (1) are arranged on the said endless chains (2), such that a continuous processing circuit is formed (Fig 1), which circuit ends with the dispensing of the separation divider (1) spatial structure in the packaging line of the groups of bottles.
  • the machine starts from a reticular-shaped separating unit that is folded forming a sheet.
  • This sheet typically made of cardboard, is supplied to the machine from a storage pack (4).
  • the machine of the invention commences its operation by removing, through suitable means, one separation divider from the storage pack that is thereafter positioned in the machine's processing circuit.
  • suitable means for such purpose it is employed pusher stops (5) that rotate in an endless chain (6) and push the lower unit located in a storage pack (4).
  • the storage pack (4) of separation dividers (1) is provided on the support surface thereof with an aperture (7) which enables the stops (5) to both reach the level of the last unit (1) and push it towards the body of the machine of the invention.
  • a movable platform (8) which ensures the separation of the separation divider (1) with respect to the pusher stops (5), as shown in figure 2, in conjunction with a swinging ramp with counterweight (10), as shown in figure 3, contribute to correctly positioning the separating unit (1) in the circuit of the machine.
  • the pusher stops (5) lift the movable platform (8).
  • a double open strip (11), shown in figure 3 acts as final stop and positions the separating unit in the starting position thereof in the circuit associated with the endless chains (2).
  • the machine object of the invention is provided with means for opening the claws (3) such as respective guides (12) that mechanically force them open.
  • the claws (3) further carry attached to the jaws thereof point-shaped guiding elements (13), as shown in figure 2, that perform a first opening of the separating unit laps so as to allow the claw (3), once opened, to grip only a suitable portion of the unit (1).
  • the claws (3) have the ends (17) thereof outwardly bent, as shown in figure 5, which permits an easy reception of the separation dividers (1).
  • a strip (18) joining the jaws of the claws maintains their closure tension, so that whenever the guides (12) are not exerting pressure toward the aperture of the claws, the strip (17), owing to the elastic inertia thereof, closes the jaws of the said claw (3).
  • the aforesaid claws (3) placed at one of the two sides of the machine are also provided with guiding means for the separation dividers (1).
  • the said means consists in that to the claw (3) is attached an angle-shaped elbow (9), see figure 5, which, whenever the claw (3) grips the separation divider (1), permits the separation of the laps from the separation divider (1) facilitating the introduction of tips of the guiding bodies (14a).
  • some units (1) require an inverse folding so as to weaken the rigidity of the structure thereof and avoid that, once properly positioned in place due to their inertia, they tend to resume their original folded condition, which would hinder their proper insertion in the box carrying the group of bottles.
  • the guiding bodies responsible for the weakening process of the separating unit (1) structure are shown, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, in figures 2 and 3, and receive numerals 14a and 14b.
  • Guiding bodies (14a, 14b and 14c) are in a suitable shape for the function of guiding process and handling required in any given case.
  • one of the sides of the frame (15) is provided with a movable wall (16) that adapts the capacity of the machine to larger units (1).
  • the said enlargement is shown.
  • the processing circuit of the machine of the invention can take place in an automatic way and can be controlled by a microprocessor that monitors each step and decides when and whether each separation divider (1) is to be positioned and that controls both the rotation of the endless chains (2 and 6) and the aperture/closure of the claws (3).
  • the machine of the present invention performs the process with a continuous operation.
  • the construction thereof is such that it is not necessary to stop the cycle of the machine in order to perform any of the handling processes of the separating units (1).
