Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for producing packages, in particular of folding boxes for cigarettes, from blanks which have mutually connected folding flaps by glue, wherein the printed on its outside blanks successively trained as suction organs holder of a revolver a blank magazine and removable through the Revolver a stationary glue unit for the transmission of glue on outward unprinted surfaces of the blanks can be fed.
  • Such a device is in US 5,385,526 disclosed.
  • the blanks are taken from a blank magazine arranged centrally above a transport turret and held by suction organs on the circumference of the transport turret.
  • the transport turret is cyclically rotatable, in each case by a movement section of 60 °.
  • a glue unit is arranged stationarily adjacent to the circumference of the turret.
  • glue is transferred by glue nozzles to the outwardly directed, free surface of the blank.
  • the blank is conveyed in two further movement steps to a removal station.
  • the glue unit is arranged so that the glue nozzles are directed almost horizontally.
  • the glue portions must be transmitted along a suitably directed trajectory in free flight. This can lead to poor positioning of glue spots.
  • the invention has for its object to enable the trouble-free transmission of glue on blanks in a packaging machine, through the use of glue nozzles high performance.
  • the positioning of the glue unit exactly above the transfer turret ensures that the glue portions are transferred to the blank exclusively by downward movement during the rotation of the turret. The danger of a disordered transfer of glue to the blanks is avoided.
  • the completely glued blanks are transferred to a likewise continuously rotating prefolding turret, which detects the blanks in areas outside the glue points and in the area of which first folding steps are carried out.
  • the exemplary embodiments concern the handling of blanks 10 made of (thin) cardboard for the production of packs 11 for cigarettes, namely folding boxes.
  • the blank 10 for this type of package has a characteristic shape ( Fig. 3, Fig. 4 ).
  • the blanks 10 are completely prefabricated outside the packaging plant, in particular in a paper mill, including a conventional printing on an outer side (the package).
  • the blanks 10 thus prepared are made available in the area of a packaging machine in a blank magazine 12 for further processing.
  • the blanks 10 are successively removed from this and introduced into the packaging process.
  • the present packaging machine is set up for continuous operation.
  • the device consists of an organ for removing the blanks 10 from the blank magazine 12 and for passing the blanks 10. It is a transfer turret 13. From this, the blanks 10 reach an intermediate conveyor, namely a Vorfaltrevolver 14. This promotes the partially folded blanks 10 to a main turret 15, in the area of the packs 11 are largely completed and filled.
  • the contents of the pack are a group of cigarettes 16. This is conveyed by a cigarette conveyor, namely by a pocket chain 17, to the main revolver 15, wrapped in an inner blank in its area and finally introduced into the pack 11 as a cigarette block.
  • the finished packages 11 are removed via a discharge conveyor 18.
  • the blank magazine 12 is positioned below the main turret 15 or underneath the pocket chain 17 in a horizontal orientation.
  • the blanks 10 are therefore arranged within the blank magazine 12 in an upright position.
  • a respective cutting blank 10 is grasped by the transfer turret 13 and removed from the blank magazine 12.
  • the blanks 10 are aligned so that the printed (outer) side of the blanks 10 of the removal side of the blank magazine 12 and the transfer turret 13 faces.
  • the transfer turret 13 is provided with a plurality of circumferentially spaced holders 19 for each blank 10.
  • These holders 19 are elongated, web-like suction members which centrally grasp the blank 10 in the longitudinal direction thereof, on the printed outside.
  • the holders 19 are attached to support arms 20, which are mounted substantially radially directed on the transfer turret 13, namely on a support piece 21.
  • the holder 19 and its support arms 20 are movably mounted on the central support piece 21, namely in particular movable in the radial direction. This additional relative movement takes place in the region of the blank magazine 12, so that the exposed blank 10 can be detected by extending the holder 19.
  • there is a relative movement in the circumferential direction namely such that the holder 19 stands still for a short time or is moved at a reduced peripheral speed in order to grasp the blank 10.
  • the blanks 10 are transported by the transfer turret 13 along an upper, approximately semicircular trajectory to the prefolding turret 14.
  • the blanks 10 are provided on the radially outwardly directed, free (inner) side with glue.
  • a glue unit 22 with a plurality of glue nozzles 23 arranged next to one another in the axis-parallel direction is arranged approximately centrally above the transfer turret 13.
  • a stationary guide 25 is arranged, which is in particular comb-like and has a funnel-like inlet 26.
  • the glue nozzles 23 pass through the guide 25 at least with their mouths.
  • the glued blanks 10 are transferred to an intermediate conveyor, namely the prefolding turret 14. This is provided along the circumference with a plurality of holding members 27 for each blank 10. These holding members 27 detect the blank 10 - on the glued inside - with suction holders 28. These are distributed in the axial direction, ie in the longitudinal direction of the accepted blanks 10 so that a plurality of suction holder 28th capture and hold a blank 10 in glue-free areas. As in particular from Fig. 3 can be seen in a blank 10 for folding boxes on each retainer four suction holder 28 are arranged at different distances from each other. A first suction holder 28a detects approximately in the center a front wall 29 of the blank 10. In the central region of the blank 10, two adjacent suction holders 28b, 28c are provided, which detect a rear wall 30 of the blank 10. Another suction holder 28d is assigned to a glue-free lid front wall 31.
  • the blanks 10 are transported in the area of the prefolding turret 14 with the printed side facing outward, specifically via a conveying section which corresponds approximately to one complete revolution of the prefolding turret 14.
  • the blanks 10 are received in pockets 32 in the region of the subsequent main turret 15, such that the (glued) inside of the blanks 10 is directed radially outward.
  • the main turret 15 is preferably in accordance with DE 101 59 109.8 educated.
  • the Vorfaltrevolver 14 forms a special feature in the continuous process of manufacturing folding boxes.
  • the blanks 10 are folded in certain areas during the (continuous) transport by the prefolding turret 14 so that partially folded blanks 10 are transferred to the main turret 15. Affected are (in the finished packs inside) side tabs 33 and lid side tabs 34. Folding tabs are also affected by this folding step, attached to the aforementioned side tabs 33, 34
  • the first are (exclusively) connected to the side tabs 33 and the latter with the lid side tabs 34, so that these blank pieces are also erected.
  • the pre-fold is such that said folding flaps 33 ... 36 are erected in a position transverse to the blank ( Fig. 6 ).
  • Each holding member 27 are assigned for this purpose folding organs, namely about hook-shaped folding fingers 37, which during the rotational movement of the prefolding turret 14 from a radially outward position ( Fig. 5 ) in a radially inwardly offset position ( Fig. 6 ) are movable under Driving the said folding tabs 33, 34.
  • the folding fingers 37a, 37b are pivotally mounted on a carrier 39 which is displaceable on the holding arm 38 in the longitudinal direction or in the radial direction of the prefolding turret 14.
  • the folding fingers 37a, 37b are also pivotable, namely in a spreading and sixteenth sense. In a spread position ( Fig. 5 , left) are the folding fingers 37 with an arcuately shaped folding end 40 laterally past the voltage applied to the holding member 27 blank 10, so that the folding ends 40 of the folding fingers 37 are located on the radially outer side of the blank 10.
  • a folding member thus consists of a plurality of axially spaced apart folding fingers 37a, 37b, which are moved together and simultaneously.
  • a unit consists of three axially spaced apart folding fingers 37a, 37b. On the one hand, these are distributed over the length of the blank so that the folding flaps to be folded are correctly detected. There are therefore provided in the region of the longer side flap 33 two spaced-apart folding fingers 37 and another single folding finger 37 in the region of the lid side flap 34.
  • the folding fingers 37a, 37b of a holding member 27 are offset from each other in the axial direction. As a result, during folding movements, the folding fingers 37a, 37b of adjacent holding members 27 can be moved past one another without contact (FIG. Fig. 3 . Fig. 5 ).
  • the folding fingers 37 remain in the folded position gem. Fig. 6 Thereafter, the folding fingers 37 of a holding member 27 are moved in the radial direction outwardly and also spread, so that a subsequent blank 10 can be passed through the transfer turret 13 to the holding member 27.
  • the blank 10 is conveyed in the transverse direction in the region of the glue aggregate 22, that is, with the longitudinal extent pointing transversely to the conveying direction.
  • the glue nozzles 23 are transmitted by appropriately controlled opening and closing rows of dots across the blank 10 on this.
  • Each row of dots consists of a number of glue dots 24 preferably arranged at equal distances from one another. In the example shown, six rows of dots are provided.
  • the glue unit 22 accordingly has six adjacent glue nozzles 23.
