Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Faltschachtelklebemaschine zur Herstellung von Faltschachteln aus ZuschnittenThe invention relates to a Faltschachtelklebemaschine for the production of cartons of blanks

Zur Herstellung auch komplizierter Schachtelformen bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten ist es aus der EP 0 881 173 B1 bekannt, innerhalb einer Faltschachtelklebemaschine eine Bearbeitungsstation in Form einer Drehstation anzuordnen, welche die flachliegenden Zuschnitte nach einer ersten Faltstation um eine zur Förderebene senkrechte Achse um 90° dreht. Weitere mögliche Bearbeitungsstationen sind ein oder mehrere Ausrichtstationen, in denen die Zuschnitte nach dem Abziehen aus einem Einleger oder nach einer Bearbeitungsstation seitlich exakt ausgerichtet werden, ein oder mehrere Vorbrecher, in denen die Faltlappen vor- und zurückgefaltet werden, damit die entsprechenden Rilllinien durch Knicken um 180° weich und geschmeidig gemacht werden, sowie Stationen für Sonderfaltungen oder andere Bearbeitungsvorgänge. Zu Beginn einer Faltstation ist üblicherweise ein Auftragwerk für Klebstoff angeordnet, das auf die zu verklebenden Faltlappen einen Klebstoffstreifen aufträgt.For the production of even complicated box shapes at high speeds, it is from the EP 0 881 173 B1 it is known to arrange a processing station in the form of a turning station within a folding box gluing machine which rotates the flat blanks 90 ° about a vertical axis to the conveying plane after a first folding station. Other possible processing stations are one or more alignment stations, in which the blanks are aligned laterally exactly after removal from an inserter or after a processing station, one or more primary crushers, in which the folding flaps are folded back and forth, so that the corresponding creasing lines by kinking 180 ° soft and supple, as well as stations for special folds or other processing operations. At the beginning of a folding station usually an applicator is arranged for adhesive, which applies an adhesive strip on the folding flaps to be bonded.

Als Förderelemente zum Transport der Zuschnitte durch die einzelnen Stationen werden überwiegend schmale Riemenförderer eingesetzt, die ebenso wie Auftragwerke für Klebstoff und weitere Bearbeitungselemente jeweils vor Beginn der Produktion in eine vom Zuschnittstyp abhängige Querposition verstellt werden müssen. Die Förderelemente der Drehstation müssen zudem auf den Schwerpunkt des Zuschnitts ausgerichtet werden, daher sind die Förderelemente der aus der EP 0 881 173 B1 bekannten Drehstation quer zur Förderrichtung verstellbar gelagert.As conveying elements for transporting the blanks through the individual stations, predominantly narrow belt conveyors are used, which, like applicators for adhesive and other processing elements, must each be adjusted to a cross-position dependent on the type of blank before the start of production. The conveying elements of the turning station must also be aligned with the center of gravity of the blank, Therefore, the conveying elements of the EP 0 881 173 B1 known rotating station mounted adjustable transversely to the conveying direction.

Aus der EP 0 881 173 B1 ist es weiterhin bekannt, nicht das Gestell der Drehstation quer verstellbar zu gestalten, sondern die Förderorgane der nachfolgenden Falt-Klebevorrichtung seitlich zu verlagern. Dieses Verfahren erfordert einen erhöhten Einstellaufwand, da bei jeder Änderung der Einstellung einer Bearbeitungsstation auch die nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsstationen wieder neu eingestellt werden müssen.From the EP 0 881 173 B1 it is also known, not to make the frame of the turning station transversely adjustable, but to shift the conveyor organs of the subsequent folding-gluing device laterally. This method requires an increased adjustment effort, since with each change in the setting of a processing station and the subsequent processing stations must be readjusted.

Aus der DE 198 03 820 A1 ist eine Faltschachtelklebemaschine bekannt, die eine automatische Formateinstellung aufweist, mittels der Maschinenkomponenten zum Bearbeiten und/oder Fördern der Zuschnitte automatisch in entsprechende Querpositionen verstellt werden können. Die Maschine enthält einen Leitrechner mit einem Speicher für die Sollpositionen, der Getriebemotoren steuert, von denen die Maschinenkomponenten positioniert werden.From the DE 198 03 820 A1 a folding box gluing machine is known, which has an automatic format adjustment, by means of which machine components for processing and / or conveying the blanks can be adjusted automatically into corresponding transverse positions. The machine contains a master computer with a memory for the target positions, which controls geared motors, from which the machine components are positioned.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Faltschachtelklebemaschine so auszugestalten, dass sie eine schnelle und konstruktiv möglichst einfache automatische Formateinstellung auf eine Vielzahl unterschiedlich gestalteter Schachtelzuschnitte ermöglicht.The invention has for its object to design a Faltschachtelklebemaschine so that it allows a fast and structurally simple as possible automatic format setting on a variety of differently shaped box blanks.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer gemäß Anspruch 1 ausgestalteten Maschine gelöst.This object is achieved with a machine designed according to claim 1.

Die Lösung hat den Vorteil, dass nachdem die Module im Einrichtebetrieb vorpositioniert wurden, die geschwindigkeitsabhängigen Änderungen, die ein Nachjustieren der Module erfordern, nun an gekoppelten Modulen durchgeführt werden können. Es kann somit die geschwindigkeitsabhängige Änderung durch eine gemeinsame Wertverstellung für die Module vor und nach der Drehstation durchgeführt werden. Eine aufwendige Einzelverstellung der Module ist damit überflüssig geworden.The solution has the advantage that, after the modules have been pre-positioned in set-up mode, the speed-dependent changes, the Readjustment of the modules may now be performed on coupled modules. Thus, the speed-dependent change can be carried out by a common value adjustment for the modules before and after the turning station. A complex individual adjustment of the modules has become superfluous.

Diese Lösung hat weiterhin den Vorteil, dass die Förderelemente der Drehstation keinen eigenen Querverstellmechanismus benötigen, sondern dass ausschließlich über Querverstellmechanismen in vor- und nachgeschalteten Bearbeitungsstationen positioniert wird. Zudem ist der Positionierbereich und damit die Bandbreite der verarbeitbaren Zuschnittstypen sehr groß. Die Positionierung erfolgt insbesondere bei komplizierten Zuschnitten mit stark unterschiedlicher Länge und Breite sehr schnell.This solution has the further advantage that the conveying elements of the turning station do not need its own Querverstellmechanismus, but that is exclusively positioned on Querverstellmechanismen in upstream and downstream processing stations. In addition, the positioning range and thus the range of processable blank types is very large. The positioning is done very quickly, especially in complicated blanks with very different length and width.

Die Faltschachtelklebemaschine beginnt in Figur 1 rechts unten mit einem Einleger 1, der die zu verarbeitenden Zuschnitte mit hoher Geschwindigkeit aus einem Stapel nacheinander abzieht und einzeln der nachfolgenden Bearbeitungsstation zuführt. Der Einleger 1 enthält Maschinenkomponenten in Form von seitlichen Stapelwänden 2 und Stellzungen 3, die vom Zuschnittstyp abhängig mittels eines Stellantriebs quer positioniert werden.The folder gluer starts in FIG. 1 bottom right with an insert 1, which pulls off the blanks to be processed at high speed from a stack one after the other and feeds them individually to the subsequent processing station. The insert 1 contains machine components in the form of lateral stacking walls 2 and setting tongues 3, which are positioned transversely depending on the type of blank by means of an actuator.

Im Anschluß an den Einleger 1 folgt eine Ausrichtestation 4, in der die Zuschnitte einzeln gegen einen seitlichen Anschlag ausgerichtet werden. Durch die Ausrichtstation führen quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponenten in Form von zwei Riemenpaaren 5, die als Förderelemente dienen und über Stellantriebe quer positioniert werden können. Einleger 1 und Ausrichtestation 4 sind in Figur 2 vergrößert dargestellt.Subsequent to the insert 1 follows an alignment station 4, in which the blanks are individually aligned against a lateral stop. The alignment station is used to guide transversely positionable machine components in the form of two belt pairs 5, which serve as conveying elements and can be transversely positioned via actuators. Insert 1 and alignment station 4 are in FIG. 2 shown enlarged.

Anschließend folgt ein Vorbrecher 6 und eine erste Faltstation 7, die in Figur 3 dargestellt sind. Sowohl durch den Vorbrecher 6 als auch durch die Faltstation 7 führen quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponenten in Form von Riemenpaaren 5 als Förderelemente, die abhängig vom Zuschnittstyp mit einem Stellantrieb quer positioniert werden. Zu Beginn der Faltstation 7 ist eine quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponente in Form eines Klebstoffauftragwerkes angeordnet, das ebenfalls mit einem Stellantrieb quer positioniert wird, damit ein Klebestreifen auf den zu verklebenden Faltlappen aufgetragen wird. Die Faltelemente der Faltstation 7 (Faltriemen etc.) sind fest mit einem Riemenpaar 5 verbunden und werden so mit diesem positioniert.This is followed by a primary crusher 6 and a first folding station 7, which in FIG. 3 are shown. Both by the primary crusher 6 and by the folding station 7 lead transversely positionable machine components in the form of belt pairs 5 as conveying elements, which are positioned transversely depending on the type of blank with an actuator. At the beginning of the folding station 7 is a transversely positionable machine component in the form of a Adhesive applicator arranged, which is also positioned transversely with an actuator, so that an adhesive strip is applied to the adhesive flap to be bonded. The folding elements of the folding station 7 (folding belt, etc.) are firmly connected to a pair of belts 5 and are thus positioned with this.

Auf die Faltstation 7 folgt eine Drehstation 9, die in Figur 4 mit einer nachfolgenden weiteren Ausrichtestation 10 dargestellt ist. Die Drehstation 9 enthält zum Drehen der Zuschnitte um eine senkrechte Achse um 90° zwei parallel nebeneinander angeordnete Förderstrecken, deren Geschwindigkeit getrennt einstellbar ist. Die Zuschnitte liegen auf beiden Förderstrecken auf, so dass sie bei unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten der beiden Förderstrecken gedreht werden. Die beiden Förderstrecken enthalten angetriebene Rollen als Förderelemente. Um die bereits gefalteten Zuschnittsteile am Öffnen zu hindern, werden sie beim Durchlauf durch die Drehstation 9 von einem plattenförmigen Niederhalter 11 niedergehalten, der in Figur 1 und Figur 4 in seiner Arbeitsposition parallel zur Förderebene geschwenkt ist und so die beiden Förderstrecken verdeckt. Die Förderrollen der beiden Förderstrecken der Drehstation 9 sind unverstellbar ortsfest in deren Gestell 12 gelagert. Sie bleiben daher unabhängig vom Zuschnittstyp immer in derselben Position.On the folding station 7 is followed by a turning station 9, which in FIG. 4 is shown with a subsequent further alignment station 10. The turning station 9 includes for rotating the blanks about a vertical axis by 90 ° two parallel juxtaposed conveyor lines whose speed is adjustable separately. The blanks are on both conveyor lines, so that they are rotated at different speeds of the two conveyor lines. The two conveyor lines contain driven rollers as conveying elements. In order to prevent the already folded blank parts from opening, they are held down by a plate-shaped hold-down 11 when passing through the rotating station 9, which in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 is pivoted in its working position parallel to the conveying plane and so covered the two conveyor lines. The conveyor rollers of the two conveyor lines of the rotating station 9 are immovably mounted stationary in the frame 12. They therefore always remain in the same position regardless of the type of cutting.

Im Anschluß an die Drehstation 9 folgt eine weitere Ausrichtestation 10, die in ihrem Aufbau der Ausrichtestation hinter dem Einleger 1 entspricht. Sie enthält somit wiederum quer positionierbare Maschinenkomponenten in Form von Förderriemenpaaren 5 als Förderelemente.Subsequent to the turning station 9 is followed by a further alignment station 10, which corresponds in its construction of the alignment station behind the insert 1. It thus again contains transversely positionable machine components in the form of pairs of conveyor belts 5 as conveying elements.

Die nächste Bearbeitungsstation 13 dient dazu, vom Schachteltyp abhängige Bearbeitungsvorgänge durchzuführen; beispielsweise werden weitere Rilllinien vorgebrochen oder Sonderfaltungen durchgeführt. Auch durch die Bearbeitungsstation 13 führen Riemenpaare 5 als Förderelemente, die mit Stellantrieben quer positioniert werden können.The next processing station 13 serves to perform box-type dependent processing operations; For example, further score lines are pre-broken or special folds are performed. Also by the Processing station 13 lead belt pairs 5 as conveying elements that can be positioned transversely with actuators.

Anschließend folgt eine zweite Faltstation 14, in der vorher mit einer Klebenaht versehene Zuschnittsteile um 180° umgefaltet werden. Auch die zweite Faltstation 14 enthält Riemenpaare 5 als Förderelemente und ein Klebstoffauftragwerk, die mittels Stellantrieben in ihre vom Zuschnittstyp abhängige Querposition bewegt werden können. Anschließend folgt eine Überleitstation 15, von der die gefalteten, mit noch nicht abgebundenen Klebenähten versehenen Zuschnitte in allen Teilen exakt ausgerichtet der nachfolgenden Sammel- und Presseinrichtung 16 zugeführt werden. In der Sammel- und Preßeinrichtung 16 wird zunächst ein Schuppenstrom aus gefalteten Zuschnitten gebildet, der anschließend zwischen fördernden Pressbändern für einige Zeit unter Druck gehalten wird, damit die Klebenähte abbinden. Die Überleitstation enthält ebenfalls Riemenpaare 5, die mittels Stellantrieben querverstellt werden können. Am Einlauf der Sammel- und Presseinrichtung 16 sind drei kurze Riemenförderer 17 mit Abstand nebeneinander angeordnet, die ebenfalls mit einem Stellaritrieb quer positioniert werden können.This is followed by a second folding station 14, in which the blank parts previously provided with an adhesive seam are folded over by 180 °. Also, the second folding station 14 includes pairs of belts 5 as conveying elements and an adhesive applicator, which can be moved by means of actuators in their dependent of the blank type transverse position. This is followed by a transfer station 15, from which the folded blanks, provided with not yet set adhesive seams, are exactly aligned in all parts with the subsequent collecting and pressing device 16. In the collecting and pressing device 16, a shingled stream of folded blanks is first formed, which is then held under pressure for some time between conveying press belts, so that the adhesive seams set. The transfer station also contains pairs of belts 5, which can be transversely adjusted by means of actuators. At the inlet of the collecting and pressing device 16 three short belt conveyor 17 are arranged at a distance next to each other, which can also be positioned transversely with a Stellaritieb.

Die Faltschachtelklebemaschine enthält eine Steuereinrichtung, von der die Stellantriebe der Förderelemente, Klebstoffauftragwerke sowie weitere quer zu positionierende Bearbeitungsgeräte umfassenden Maschinenkomponenten zur Einnahme vorgesehener Positionen gesteuert werden. Diese Maschinenkomponenten sind über die Steuerung elektronisch gekoppelt und werden in Abhängigkeit von dem herzustellenden Schachteltyp positioniert, während die Förderelemente der Drehstation 9 ortfest bleiben, also nicht verstellt werden.The folding box gluing machine contains a control device from which the actuators of the conveying elements, adhesive applicators and other machine components comprising transverse processing tools are controlled to take intended positions. These machine components are electronically coupled via the controller and are positioned depending on the type of box to be produced, while the conveying elements of the rotating station 9 remain stationary, so are not adjusted.

Bevorzugt wird die Einstellung der Faltschachtelklebemaschine nach folgendem Verfahren durchgeführt: Zunächst werden von der Steuereinrichtung alle vor der Drehstation 9 befindlichen quer positionierbaren Maschinenkomponenten auf hinterlegte, vom Schachteltyp und -format abhängige Positionen relativ zueinander vorpositioniert. Die gleiche Vorpositionierung relativ zueinander erfolgt für die hinter der Drehstation 9 befindlichen quer positionierbaren Maschinenkomponenten. Für eine exakte Drehung in der Drehstation 6 ist es erforderlich, dass sich der Schwerpunkt der Zuschnitte möglichst entlang der Mittellinie zwischen den beiden Förderstrecken bewegt. Daher werden nach dem Vorpositionieren relativ zueinander die quer positionierbaren Maschinenkomponenten vor der Drehstation 9 gekoppelt und mit gleichbleibendem Abstand relativ zueinander parallel verschoben, bis die Schwerpunktlinie der Förderstrecke auf die Mittellinie der Drehstation 9 ausgerichtet ist. Auf die gleiche Weise werden die hinter der Drehstation 9 befindlichen quer positionierbaren Maschinenkomponenten gekoppelt querverschoben, bis sie ebenfalls auf die Mittellinie der Drehstation 9 ausgerichtet sind.Preferably, the setting of the folding box gluing machine is carried out according to the following method: First, all the transverse machine components located in front of the rotating station 9 are prepositioned by the control device relative to each other on deposited, box type and format dependent positions. The same pre-positioning relative to each other takes place for located behind the rotating station 9 transversely positionable machine components. For an exact rotation in the rotating station 6, it is necessary that the center of gravity of the blanks moves as far as possible along the center line between the two conveying paths. Therefore, after the pre-positioning relative to each other, the transversely positionable machine components are coupled in front of the rotating station 9 and moved parallel with a constant distance relative to each other until the center of gravity line of the conveyor line is aligned with the center line of the rotating station 9. In the same way, the transverse positionable machine components located behind the rotating station 9 are coupled in a coupled manner until they are likewise aligned with the center line of the rotating station 9.
