Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging machine with a moving unit, a moving pack support being arranged on the moving unit.
  • Packaged goods such as food
  • plastic packaging usually have a packaging trough in which the packaged goods are located and a cover film.
  • the cover film is sealed to the packaging tray.
  • Packaging of this type is often produced on packaging machines, so-called thermoformers, in which a large number of packaging troughs are deep-drawn from a so-called bottom film. After deep drawing, the respective packaging trough is filled with a product to be packaged and then sealed with a cover film. As a final step, the finished packaging is separated from one another with a rip and cross cutter or with a complete cut.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object of making available a packaging machine which has the above-mentioned. Meet demands.
  • this object is achieved by a packaging machine with a moving unit on which an accompanying support for the packaged goods is arranged.
  • a packaging machine in the sense of the invention is any thermoforming packaging machine known to the person skilled in the art, in which a so-called bottom film is used a large number of packaging troughs are deep-drawn, which after deep-drawing are filled with a product to be packaged, for example foodstuffs, and then sealed with a cover film and finally cut apart.
  • this packaging machine has a travel unit.
  • a travel unit in the sense of the invention is, for example, a punch, a sealing station and / or a cross cutter, which can be displaced along the machine in or against the transport direction of the film (s) at least in a certain range.
  • the moving unit can, however, be arranged in any section of the packaging machine in relation to the direction of transport of the film to the deep-drawing station.
  • the displacement unit is preferably moved with a motor in or against the direction of the product flow.
  • At least one accompanying packaged goods support is arranged on the moving unit.
  • This packaged goods support is preferably a rope, particularly preferably a wire rope.
  • the packaged goods support is also preferably a thin elastic band of any width. The rope and / or the band runs below the lower film and parallel to the direction of displacement of the moving unit and is arranged between two packages so that the lower film, into which the packages are molded, does not sag.
  • Each rope or band preferably has a first and a second end, which are each removably arranged on the moving unit.
  • a plurality of ropes or tapes are preferably arranged one behind the other transversely to the running direction of the lower film.
  • the packaging machine according to the invention likewise preferably has at least four rollers with which the rope and / or the belt is deflected. These rollers are preferably arranged on the frame of the packaging machine by means of plug strips.
  • the embodiment with the headers has the advantage that the packaging machine according to the invention can be easily and quickly converted to another packaging form or packaging size. The position of the rollers can be adapted to the corresponding requirements.
  • the rope and / or the band can be tensioned with a means.
  • This means is preferably arranged on the moving unit.
  • the tension of the ropes and / or tapes allows the respective loads on the ropes and / or tapes to be taken into account, so that the film which supports them does not sag.
  • the rope or band should not be too tight.
  • a tensioning means is preferably assigned to each rope or band.
  • the moving unit also has at least one connector strip, to which the ropes and or tapes are each individually attached and then individually tensioned.
  • Figure 1 shows a side view of the travel unit of the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the travel unit according to FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of the moving unit according to FIGS. 1 and
  • FIG. 4 shows a partial section through the moving unit according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows part of the travel unit 1.
  • the moving unit 1 is part of a packaging machine which has a deep-drawing, a filling, a sealing and a cutting station.
  • the traversing unit can perform one of the last three functions.
  • a packaged goods support 2 a wire rope 2 is arranged on the travel unit 1, in the present case a cross-cutting station.
  • the rope 2 is deflected by means of the four rollers 6 and its ends 3, 4 are detachably connected to the moving unit 1.
  • Packaging troughs 8 which move in the direction shown by the arrow, are supported so that the film from which the respective packaging troughs are formed does not sag either longitudinally or transversely to their direction of travel.
  • a plurality of packaging troughs 8 can be arranged one behind the other in the paper plane and accordingly a number of packaged goods supports 2 can also be arranged one behind the other.
  • the rollers 6 are mounted on headers 7, which are flexibly attached to the cross bars 10 and screwed there.
  • plug strips 7, the packaging machine according to the invention can be flexibly adjusted to the respective packaging shape or packaging size.
  • the moving unit 1 is driven by means of the toothed belt 9 and a motor, not shown, and can be moved along the direction indicated by the double arrow.
  • the length of the ropes 2 can be adapted to the length of the travel unit.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the travel unit according to FIG. 1, the upper part of the cross-cutting station and the packaging film with the packaging troughs 8 not being shown.
  • two packaged goods supports 2 are arranged one behind the other transversely to the running direction of the machine, which is represented by the arrow.
  • Each rope 2 is provided with a means 5 (not shown in this view) with which the tension of the respective rope can be adjusted individually.
  • the individual adjustment of the tension of the respective rope has the advantage that the tension of the rope can be adapted to the respective local requirements.
  • the tension of the ropes in the middle of the packaging machine will be higher than the tension of the ropes in the edge area of the packaging machine. In the present case, the tension of both ropes is the same.
  • the travel unit 1 is displaceable on the rods 11 along the double arrow shown in the machine running direction.
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of the travel unit according to FIG. 1. This view clearly shows how the ropes 2 and the rollers 6 Support the packaging troughs 8 so that they do not sag either lengthways or crosswise to the machine running direction.
  • FIG. 4 shows a section through the travel unit according to FIG. 1. From this view it can be seen that the ends 3 and 4 of the rope 2 are detachably arranged on the moving unit 1 and can be tensioned by means of the screws 5.
  • each rope 2 is assigned at least one tensioning means 5 and four rollers 6 with the associated insert strips 7.
  • a screw is sufficient to tension the ropes.
  • the present embodiment has the advantage that the connection between the rope 2 and the moving unit 1 can be established and released again more quickly.
