Definitions

  • This invention refers to an assembly device for wooden boxes and the assembly procedure for the boxes by means of the stated device that incorporates appreciable innovations and advantages over the devices and machines currently used for the same purpose.
  • a device especially for wooden boxes made up from a base, four side walls and four corner reinforcements held together by means of staples said device being made up from a bench that includes a first device for the stapling of the four side walls to the base of said box, said base and sides being in a horizontal position and a second device for the fitting of the corner reinforcements (see for instance FR-A-2 235 768).
  • box that is used is well known in the packaging industry, for example, for the packaging of differing types of fruit and vegetables.
  • Said boxes are made of wood and to a greater extent are made from a base, four side walls and four corner reinforcements that act by way of strengtheners, being fitted to each one of the corners of the box, and all of the elements of the box being held together by a number of staples.
  • the companies specialised in the industry use machinery that carries out the assembly of the wooden box in different stages, the first stage being the locating of the corner reinforcements and their stapling onto two of the side walls, said reinforcements being fixed, a second stage that consists of the stapling of the four side walls that are connected to each other and finally; as the third and last stage the locating and fixing of the base of the wooden box to the sides.
  • the described assembly process has the main disadvantage that in order to carry it out, the use of three or more automated machines is required, in the great majority of cases, being large sized, and with a considerable financial investment, that has a direct effect on the final cost of the product.
  • said boxes can only be produced in the factory of origin and this also makes the price of the box more expensive, in addition to the price of the product that has to be packed and the transport of the boxes themselves.
  • the space that said boxes occupy once finished makes them quite voluminous for their transportation.
  • the present invention has been developed for the purpose of providing an assembly device for wooden boxes and a procedure for their assembly with said device that solves the previously mentioned disadvantages, in addition bringing other advantages that will be clear from the description that is attached below.
  • the assembly device for wooden boxes of the present invention specially for boxes with a base, four side walls and four corner reinforcements held together by means of staples.
  • Said device is made up from a bench that includes a first device for the stapling of the four side walls to the base of said box, said base and sides being in a horizontal position and a second device for the fitting of the corner reinforcements.
  • the stapling device has at least eight stapling heads that allow the stapling of the four side walls and the base to be carried out in a simultaneous manner. It also has means for the positioning of said base and said side walls, and the locating device for the reinforcements has a means of turning the four side walls and four reinforcement loaders that are movable axially and vertically. There are at least eight stapling heads that are arranged at each end of a housing that positions the side walls at 90° in respect to the base and that staple each one of the reinforcements simultaneously to the two walls facing their ends.
  • the assembly device described has a lower investment cost, requires the presence of less employees for the handling of same and thanks to its working and the assembly characteristics of the boxes, provides increased productivity of boxes per useful working hour.
  • Another advantage that has to be highlighted in the device of the invention is the fact that the dimensions of same are very much reduced compared to machines presently known in the market. In this way, their siting is made easier as less space is required and they are easier to transport.
  • the four loaders of the reinforcements of the device are movable axially and vertically by means of a rack and pinion system. It must be highlighted that there is the possibility of using any other system of movement for the loaders, such as, for example, by means of a pneumatic or hydraulic system.
  • the bench is made up from at least four independent tables that move both longitudinally and transversally by means of a multitude of guides arranged on the lower part of the bench. In this way, the dimensions of the bench can be adjusted to the manufacture of different sized boxes without having to apply any substantial modification to the device.
  • the bench will also have two independent central tables; moveable transversally by means of a multitude of guides arranged on the lower part of the bench the same as the previously mentioned tables.
  • each one of the four loaders and the four heads of the reinforcement location device are directly connected to four of the independent tables.
  • four of the six independent tables are made up of at least two stapling heads, being positioned in a set of two heads and each group having been arranged at an approximate angle of 90° to each other.
  • the means of positioning the stapling device is made up of a width equivalent to the thickness of the base of the box. In this way, when the side walls are turned against the base, they are perfectly positioned and fitted at an angle of 90°.
  • the bench includes a conveyor belt in the lower part of the reinforcement locating device. In this way, the removal of the box when assembled is made easier.
  • the means of turning are made up of a multitude of turning elements located on the bench, each one being made from a pair of wings situated at an angle of 90° to each other.
  • a procedure for the assembly of the wooden boxes which uses the above-mentioned device includes the steps of:
  • the assembly device (1) for wooden boxes of the present invention is basically made up of a bench (2) that includes a first stapling device (3) for the side walls (4) to the base (5) of the wooden box (6), said base (5) and said walls (4) being in a horizontal position and in addition having a second device for the locating of the reinforcements (7).
  • the stapling device (3) includes eight stapling heads (8) located under the tables of the box (6) that allow the stapling to be carried out in a simultaneous manner for the four side walls (4) and the base (5) and means of positioning (9) between said base (5) and said side walls (4).
  • the means of positioning (9) the stapling device (3) is made up of some elements (9) that have the areas situated between the side walls (4) and the base (5) with a width equivalent to the thickness of the base (5) of the box (6).
  • the reinforcement locating device (7) of the assembly device (1) of the present invention is made up of a bench area (2) and a housing for the location of the different elements that make up the box (6) including four reinforcements (11) having a triangular profile, that act as reinforcement for the box (6).
  • the stated device (7) also includes four loaders (12) for the reinforcements (11) that are moveable axially and vertically and eight stapling heads (13) arranged at each end of the housing that staple the reinforcements (11) to two side walls (4) meeting at their ends.
  • the four loaders (12) move axially and vertically in this specific embodiment by means of a rack and pinion system (14).
  • the bench (12) of the assembly device (1) has four upper independent tables (15) moveable longitudinally and transversally by means of a multitude of guides (not shown) arranged on the lower part of the bench (2) and two upper central tables (16) which only move transversally.
  • the stapling heads (13) are positioned in two sets of two heads (17) and each set having been arranged at an approximate angle of 90° to each other.
  • the reinforcement locating device (7) has means of turning (18) which consists of a set of turning elements (18) situated on the bench (2), each one of them being made up from a pair of wings located at and angle of 90° to each other.
  • the box (6) spread out in a horizontal position (see figure 4) that comes from the stapling device (3), is located over the upper part of the central housing.
  • said spread structure of the box (6) descends towards the inside of the housing for the turning of the side walls (4).
  • Said turning is carried out by means of the turning of the revolving elements (18) located on the upper part of the bench (2), which turn their wings through 90°, finishing up in the position shown in figure 2.
  • the loaders of the reinforcements (12) place said reinforcements (11) in the stapling position in each one of the corners of the box (6), where they remain to receive the corresponding side walls (4), turned and positioned at angles of 90° and which have been previously attached to the base (5) of the box (6).
  • the stapling heads (13) come into action which staple the four side walls (4) by means of staples (19) to the reinforcements (11) that support the box (6), the box (6) finishing up assembled as shown in figure 5.
  • the heads (13) withdraw towards their initial position and the box (6) is ready to be removed directly to a container or equally to place it on a conveyor belt (20) arranged under the bench (1).
