Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering objects to a carton.
  • the objects may be small items such as sweets, chocolate bars, biscuits, confectionary, toffee, nuts, medical or cosmetic items.
  • the objects will be flow wrapped, but this is not essential.
  • the present application is not limited to the above list and other suitable objects will be apparent to a person skilled in the art.
  • An existing machine has a first conveyor, a second conveyor, a loading mechanism and a trapdoor.
  • the first and second conveyors are at right angles to each other and at the same height.
  • the second conveyor has a plurality of dividing walls extending perpendicular to its direction of motion, which walls divide the conveyor into a plurality of pockets for receiving objects from the first conveyor.
  • the second conveyor moves in a stepped motion and picks up objects from the first conveyor during periods when it is not moving (i.e. in between the steps). Only one object is loaded into each pocket on the second conveyor
  • any momentum imparted to the object by the first conveyor is quickly 'killed' by movement of the second conveyor.
  • the second conveyor conveys the objects received in the pockets to a trapdoor loading location where a robot arm picks up objects from the pockets and moves them onto a trapdoor.
  • the trapdoor is then opened to drop the objects into a carton below.
  • This type of machine, using a trapdoor is known as a 'tumble loader'. It is particularly, but not exclusively, suitable for situations where a predetermined number of objects have to be packed into a carton, but the precise arrangement of the objects is not important as long as they fit into the carton.
  • the present invention proposes a method in which a plurality of objects are stacked into each pocket on the second conveyor, and an apparatus configured to carry out this method.
  • the objects may be stacked vertically, on top of each other, or side by side and may be stacked in a non-regular arrangment.
  • a first aspect of the present invention may provide a method of delivering objects to a carton comprising the following steps:
  • the objects are delivered one by one from the first conveyor onto the second conveyor and stacked in a pocket.
  • said second conveyor is lower than said first conveyor. This enables the objects to fall onto said first conveyor from said second conveyor (in steps (a) and (b)) and is a convenient way of ensuring that several objects can be stacked in the same pocket.
  • first and second conveyors are approximately perpendicular to each other with the first conveyor approximately parallel to the pockets of the second conveyor, but this is not essential.
  • the pocket sidewalls will extend perpendicular to the direction of motion of the conveyer (when the conveyor is moving), although this is not essential.
  • the machine will have a stationary pocket end wall on the side of the second conveyor opposite the first conveyor; this end wall prevents objects from flying out of the other side of the pockets.
  • the pockets it would also be possible for the pockets to have an end wall which moves together with the conveyor (e.g. integral with the sidewalls), but this makes it more difficult to offload the objects from the pockets onto the trapdoor.
  • an object accelerating device is used to accelerate objects from said first conveyor onto said second conveyor.
  • an object is used to accelerate objects from said first conveyor onto said second conveyor.
  • gravity is too slow to ensure this for some objects meaning that they can collide with each other unless accelerated by an accelerating device.
  • the objects will be accelerated by the device after leaving the first conveyor (and before they have reached the second conveyor).
  • the object accelerating means will usually be configured to accelerate the objects downward e.g. to accelerate their fall.
  • the object accelerating device may be a blower for blowing a stream of gas to accelerate objects from said first conveyor onto said second conveyor.
  • a blower provided above said second conveyor for blowing a stream of gas downward to accelerate objects falling from said first conveyor onto said second conveyor.
  • the blower may be a high pressure blower or a low pressure blower, it may eject air or another gas and may be powered by a fan, or a source of compressed gas.
  • Other types of blower may be apparent to a person skilled in the art.
  • the object accelerating device may be a suction device (e.g. a vacuum device) configured to use suction to accelerate objects from the first conveyor to the second conveyor.
  • the suction device may comprise a suction generator (e.g. a vacuum source) connected to one or more apertures on the second conveyor, (e.g. in each pocket or a pocket end wall) so that objects are accelerated by suction on to the second conveyor. If the apertures are positioned towards the edges of the conveyor or pocket edges then the risk of the suction being blocked by accumulation of objects on the conveyor can be minimised or avoided.
  • the object accelerating device may be a mechanical mechanism e.g. a robot arm or a plunger arm.
  • the second conveyor has a plurality of pockets, arranged adjacent to each other to form a set of pockets, wherein after step (b) said other pockets in the set are stacked with objects according to steps (a) and (b). In this way several columns of objects can be built up for depositing into a carton.
  • step (d) said loading mechanism moves said objects in all said pockets in said set onto the trap door.
  • the second conveyor has a first pocket or set of pockets and a second pocket or set of pockets and said first and second pocket or pocket sets are moved independently of each other.
  • a first pocket or pocket set to be moved slowly in steps while it is being stacked with objects, while a second pocket or pocket set is moved quickly and/or continuously around after unloading the objects on the trap door to come round to a position in which it is ready to receive objects from the first conveyor.
  • trapdoor is to be understood broadly to include any arrangement in which a supporting surface can be moved to drop objects supported on it to an area below.
  • the trapdoor may for example comprise one or more hinged panels; alternatively it may comprise one or more retractable members.
  • the trap door comprises first and second hinged members which swing downwardly when the trapdoor is opened.
  • first and second hinged members can guide the objects into a carton below, in effect forming a funnel through which the objects drop.
  • the objects are conveyed to the first conveyor by a third conveyor that moves at a slower speed than the first conveyor.
  • This difference in speed causes the objects on the first conveyer to be spaced out compared to objects on the third conveyor.
  • This can be useful where the objects are produced at a rapid rate and close together by another machine, but need to be spaced apart by a larger amount in order for the second conveyor to effectively collate and/or stack the objects in the pockets.
  • a vacuum apparatus for retaining the objects on the first conveyor. This enables the first conveyor to convey the objects at speeds that would not otherwise be possible (the vacuum helps to prevent the objects from sliding backwards on the conveyor at high speeds).
  • the cartons are brought to a loading station beneath the trapdoor by a fourth conveyor for conveying cartons.
  • a second aspect of the present invention may provide a machine configured to deliver objects to a carton according to the method of the first aspect of the present invention.
  • the machine may comprise:
  • the machine may have an object accelerating device as described above under the first aspect of the present invention.
  • the object accelerating device may be a blower for blowing a stream of gas to accelerate objects from said first conveyor onto said second conveyor.
  • it may be a mechanical or suction device, as described above.
  • the second conveyor has a plurality of pockets adjacent each other forming a set of pockets, each pocket comprising a pair of sidewalls between which objects from said first conveyor can be received.
  • the machine is programmed or configured to load each pocket in said set with objects from said first conveyor before conveying the pocket set to a trap door loading location, which is usually near the loading mechanism.
  • the loading mechanism is preferably a pusher arm that is extendable into said pocket or pockets to push any objects in said pockets onto a trapdoor adjacent the opposite side of the pockets to the pusher arm. It may be pneumatically powered.
  • the pusher arm may have a pusher head having slots for accommodating the pocket sidewalls when the pusher arm is extended into the pocket or pockets.
  • the second conveyor comprises a first belt on which are mounted a first pocket or set of pockets and a second belt on which are mounted a second pocket or set of pockets, said first and second belts being independently controllable.
  • first and second belts being independently controllable. This enables the first and second pockets or pocket sets to be moved at different speeds or for one to be kept still while the other is moving, which has the advantages described above under the first aspect of the present invention.
  • the machine may comprise a third conveyor for conveying objects to said second conveyor.
  • the third conveyor is configured to convey objects at a slower speed than the first conveyor, which has the advantages described above under the first aspect of the present invention.
  • the first conveyor is provided with a vacuum apparatus for retaining objects on the conveyor. This enables the first conveyor to convey the objects at speeds that would not otherwise be possible (at high speeds the objects may otherwise slide backwards on the conveyor due to inertia).
  • the trapdoor comprises two hinged doors, which are swingable downwards in response to the actuator.
  • the trapdoor may be pneumatically powered.
  • the machine may have a fourth conveyor for conveying cartons to a carton loading station beneath the trapdoor.
  • the machine may have any of the features described above under the first aspect of the present invention or be configured to carry out any of the steps described under the first aspect of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a machine for delivering objects to a carton.
  • the machine 1 has a first conveyor 5 for conveying objects to a set of pockets on a second conveyor 10.
  • the second conveyor 10 has a first set of pockets 20 and a second set of pockets 30 which are independently controllable. Both the first and second conveyors are endless conveyors.
  • the first set of pockets 20 is shown in a pocket loading position in Fig. 1, ready to receive objects from the first conveyor 5.
  • the second set of pockets 30 is shown in a trapdoor loading (or pocket unloading) position in Fig. 1, in which position objects can be offloaded from the pockets on to a trap door 50.
  • a pusher arm 40 forms a loading mechanism for loading objects in the trapdoor loading position onto the trapdoor 50.
  • Carton loading station 65 is positioned below the trapdoor 50 and a fourth conveyor 80 is provided for supplying erected cartons 85 to the carton loading station 65.
  • a third conveyor 70 is positioned in line with the first conveyor 5 and delivers objects 200
  • the first conveyor 5 is provided with vacuum apparatus 6 which causes suction at aperture 7 in the surface of the conveyor. In this way objects can be retained on the conveyor and retained from slipping even when the first conveyor 5 conveys the objects at high speed (e.g. 700 objects per minute).
  • the first conveyor 5 conveys the objects at a faster speed than the third conveyor 70 and this has the effect that the objects are more widely spaced on the first conveyor. This makes delivery of objects from the first conveyor 5 to the second conveyor 10 easier.
  • First and second optical detection devices 90 are provided on the first conveyor 5 for detecting products which are too high or to close to each other.
  • a air blaster or other gas blower which is configured to eject from the first conveyor 5 into a product eject chute 100 any objects which are detected to be too high or to close to each other by the detectors 90.
  • the ejection is effected by a blast of air or gas.
  • the first conveyor 5 is substantially perpendicular to the second conveyor 10. This facilitates delivery of objects from the first conveyor 5 to the second conveyor 10.
  • the object bearing surface 8 of the first conveyor 5 is higher than the object bearing surface 81 of the second conveyor 10; this facilitates delivery of multiple products to a single pocket 24 on the second conveyor 10, as will be discussed below in more detail.
  • the first conveyor feeds objects to the second conveyor and has a vacuum apparatus, it may be called an infeed vacuum conveyor.
  • the second conveyor 10 is an endless conveyor and has two sets of pockets 20 and 30 mounted on it.
  • the first set of pockets 20 comprises four pockets 21, 22, 23 and 24. Each pocket is defined by a pair of side walls 25 between which objects from the first conveyor 5 can be received.
  • the second set of pockets 30 also comprises four pockets 31, 32, 33 and 34, each pocket being bounded by pairs of sidewalls 35. In alternative configurations there could be more or less pockets in each set, the number will be chosen according to the packing requirements of the carton.
  • Fig. 1 the first set of pockets 20 are shown in a pocket loading position adjacent an end of the first conveyors.
  • the second conveyor 10 is capable of moving the first set of pockets 20 in small steps past the pocket loading position, so that each of the pockets in turn 21, 22, 23 and 24 can be loaded with objects from the first conveyor 5.
  • the fourth pocket 24 is in a loading position in line with the first conveyor 5 and ready to receive objects into that pocket 24.
  • the object bearing surface 8 of the first conveyor 5 is higher that the object bearing surface 81 of the second conveyor 10. Therefore when objects are passed from the first conveyor 5 (which in use conveys objects towards the second conveyor 10) the objects drops down onto the object receiving surface of the pocket which is in line with the first conveyor 5 (pocket 24 in Fig. 1). As the object has dropped down, there is room above for further objects to be stacked on top of it. Thus, a plurality of objects can be stacked in each of the pockets 21, 22, 23 and 24. The exact number of objects which can be stacked, depends on the size of the objects, the depth of the pocket and relative height of the first and second conveyors 5, 10 which are determined according to the loading requirements of the carton to which the objects are to be delivered.
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the apparatus of Fig. 1. It shows objects 200 being conveyed on the first conveyor 5 passed the product eject chute 100 and on to a pocket 24 on the second conveyor 10.
  • Two parts of the apparatus, which are not shown in Fig.1, are shown in Fig. 2.
  • an air blower 120 positioned above the second conveyor 10 and in line with the first conveyor 5.
  • This air blower 120 thus sits above the delivery point of objects from the first conveyor 5 to the second conveyor 10. It may be powered by a fan or a source of compressed gas and is configured to deliver a stream a air downwards to accelerate objects delivered from the first conveyor 5 onto the surface of the second conveyor 10. Accelerating the objects in this way helps to prevent objects from colliding with each other when they are stacked in the same pocket, which may sometimes happen when they are left to drop by gravity alone. Alternatively, instead of a blower a suction device or a mechanical mechanism may be used to accelerate the objects.
  • Fig. 3 shows the first set of pockets 20, with pockets 21, 22 and 23 fully stacked with three objects 200 each and the fourth pocket 24 partially stacked with two objects.
  • the objects are stacked vertically i.e. one on top of the other.
  • the machine is configured so that in operation it will fill the fourth pocket 24 as well, with a further object, so that there are three objects stacked one on top of each other in each pocket, before conveying the set of pockets 20 to the trap door loading position 130 occupied by pocket set 30 in Fig. 1.
  • the blower 120 which is in line with the first conveyor 5.
  • the machine is configured to fill each of the pockets in the pocket set 20 with objects 200 from the first conveyor 5.
  • Each pocket is filled in turn by stacking a predetermined number of objects, vertically one on top of each other, in to that pocket.
  • first objects are delivered, one at a time, from the first conveyor 5 to the first pocket 21.
  • the objects drop down from the first conveyor 5 into the pocket 21 on the second conveyor 10 and are accelerated in this direction by blower 120.
  • a detector 170 indicates to a controller that predetermined number of objects have been stacked in that pocket and the controller controls the second conveyor 10 to move onwards so that the second pocket 22 is in line with the first conveyor 5.
  • the second pocket 22 is then loaded in the same manner, followed by the pockets 23 and 24. When all of the pockets in the pocket set have been loaded with the predetermined number of objects, the pocket set is fully stacked.
  • Fig. 3 shows the objects stacked vertically in a regular configuration. However, it would also be possible to stack the objects side by side and/or in a non-regular configuration.
  • Fig. 6 is a side view showing a set of pockets in which one pocket is stacked vertically with objects in a non-regular configuration (in Fig. 6 the objects are non-rectangular and relatively narrow compared to the width W of the pockets).
  • Fig. 7 and 8 show a set of pockets, with one pocket stacked with objects in a non-regular configuration.
  • Fig. 8 is a cross-section along the line A-A of Fig. 7. The objects are stacked vertically, and also side-by-side as they are relatively short and thus more than one object can be fitted into the depth D of the pocket (extending from one side of the conveyor to the other).
  • the machine is configured to convey a pocket set that has been fully stacked with objects to the trapdoor loading position 130 (occupied by pocket set 30 in Fig. 1).
  • the first pocket set 20 is mounted on belts 10a and 10b of the second conveyor 10, while the second set of pockets 30 is mounted on belts 10c and 10d of the second conveyor 10.
  • each pocket set could be mounted on only one, or alternatively more than two belts. Mounting of the pocket sets on different belts enables them to be controlled independently of each other.
  • the first pocket set 20 can be stepped slowly passed the first conveyor belt 5, while the second pocket set 30 is moved rapidly to the trapdoor loading position 130 and then back to a position just behind the first pocket set 20, so that it can be filled up with objects from the first conveyor belt 5 once the first pocket set 20 has moved out of the way.
  • the provision of independently controllable pockets or pocket sets enables delivery of the objects to be carried out efficiently and quickly with a minimum number of pockets or pocket sets.
  • the second pocket set 30 is adjacent a loading mechanism 40, in the form of a pusher arm, for moving objects from the pockets 31, 32, 33 and 34 onto the trap door 50.
  • the pusher arm 40 is an elongate member having a pusher head 45 which is extendable into the pockets.
  • the pusher head 45 has a plurality of slots 46 through which the side walls 35 of the pockets slot when the pusher head 45 is extended into the pockets.
  • the pusher arm 40 and pusher head 45 are operable to push objects in the pockets 31 to 34 onto the trap door 50.
  • An actuator 51 is provided for opening the trap door 50 when objects have been pushed onto it.
  • Fig. 4 shows the trap door 50 in a closed position.
  • Objects 200 are supported by the hinged plated 52 and 53 which form the doors of the trap door.
  • a carton 85 is positioned at the loading station 65 beneath the trap door 50.
  • the machine has a fourth conveyor 80 for conveying cartons 85 to the loading station 65.
  • Fig. 5 shows the situation when the trapdoor is opened.
  • the hinged plates 52 and 53 swing downwardly and the objects 200 are deposited into the carton 85 below at carton loading station 65.
  • the opened plates 52 and 53 extend substantially perpendicularly downwards at approximately 90° to their closed position and form a funnel for directing the objects 200 into the carton 85.
  • the sides of the funnel are completed by side wall 60 and 61 which are stationary parts of the machine.
  • the conveyors are preferably controlled by servo motors.
  • the first servo motor 150 for driving the first set of pockets 20 and second servo motor 160 for driving the second set of pockets 30 via the belts 10a to 10d as discussed above, are shown in Fig. 1.
  • the machine has a controller for controlling the second conveyor belt 10 to stack the objects in the desired fashion.
  • the controller controls the first and second servo motors 150 and 160 to move or step the first and second pocket sets 20, 30 in the appropriate fashion.
  • the controller also controls the loading mechanism 40 and trapdoor 50, both of which may be controlled by a pneumatic means.
  • the controller is assisted by input from a third optical detector 170 positioned near the end of the first conveyor 5, and near to the second conveyor 10, which optical detector 170 counts the objects as they are sent to the second conveyor 10. This information is sent to the controller which controls the second conveyor accordingly.
  • the controller may also control the first and second optical detectors 90 and the air blaster 95 as well as the blower 120.
