Definitions
- the invention relates to a packaging system, d. H. to a system for assembling containers from packaging units and for the formation of transport and storage units from these containers according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such systems are known and consist of several, in a transport and working direction on each other following machines or functional units, which are connected to each other via additional transport routes.
- These transport routes between the individual functional units or machines require u. a. a high space requirement as well as increased investment and operating costs for the respective plant.
- Such a system according to the preamble of claim 1, for example, by the US 3,895,476 presented.
- individual packaging units are first combined into a group and then wrapped in a shrink film.
- these groups are connected in a shrink tunnel by shrinking the shrink film into a solid container. After shrinking these containers are fed to a stacking device, where they are in turn combined into a larger container, which is also surrounded with shrink film and then shrunk.
- the object of the invention is to show a system that avoids these disadvantages and is characterized despite high reliability by a small footprint and reduced investment and operating costs.
- a system according to claim 1 is formed.
- the invention is based on the finding that by directly connecting the individual functional elements or machines, the space requirements and the investment and operating costs of the system, but also the maintenance costs compared to conventional systems can be significantly reduced, but only if the shrink tunnel for shrinking the shrink film and the subsequent cooling line forming functional units (second and third functional unit according to the invention) in the transport direction before other functional units of the system at least serving as accumulation section transport path is provided whose capacity or capacity at least equal to the capacity or capacity of the Shrink tunnels is. This ensures that, in the event of a malfunction, the shrink tunnel can be driven completely empty, ie no containers remain in the shrink tunnel and there can also be no overheating of containers or shrink film there.
- This concept makes it possible to dimension and operate the shrink tunnel in such a way that, given the speed with which the packages are moved through the shrink tunnel during normal operation, the shrink film shrinks reliably, but in the event of a fault, despite the compact design of the system Prevent overheating of containers in the shrink tunnel, and without consuming protective measures in and / or on the shrink tunnel, such as cooling fans, etc ..
- the space requirement of the system according to the invention is only a fraction of the space required by conventional systems.
- Another essential advantage of the invention consists in a considerable reduction of the effort required for the wiring (control and energy supply) and in a minimization of the cleaning effort.
- the first functional unit in which the shrink film is applied be designed as needed as a so-called shrink packer or tray shrink packer or be replaced by a wrap-around packaging machine.
- packaging unit is generally packaging having a packaging content, for example bottles, cans or other containers, packaging made of cardboard, plastic, etc.
- containers are generally combinations of several packaging units or more In each case a group summarized packaging units to understand, regardless of whether the packaging units are summarized or assembled using a container carrier (eg tray) or without such a carrier.
- the in the FIG. 1 generally designated 1 plant is used to form containers 2 from packaging units 3, for assembling bundle layers 4 of predetermined size from each of a plurality of containers 2 and the formation of transport and / or storage units in the form of multiple bundle layers 4 existing stacks Transport and / or storage pallets 5.
- the container 2 consist in the illustrated embodiment in each case of six packaging units 3, in a non-illustrated, in plan view rectangular carrier, for example in a tray z. B. are used from cardboard, so that each container 2 has two longer longitudinal sides and two shorter transverse sides.
- each container 2 is provided with an example formed by a length of a plastic tape carrying handle.
- the plant 1 consists of several modules or functional units that connect in a transport and working direction A together, in the illustrated Embodiment of the functional units 6 - 12, which essentially have the following functions:
- This functional unit 6 serves to insert the packaging units 3 in the respective container carrier and then to provide the container carrier and the packaging units 3 with the shrink film.
- the functional unit 6 it is also possible for the functional unit 6 to already be supplied with the packaging carriers with the packaging units 3 placed in them, and only for the application of the shrink film in the device 6.
- the functional unit 7 is essentially a shrink tunnel, in which the shrink film is shrunk by the action of heat for sealing contact with the package carrier and the packaging units 3.
- the functional unit 8 forms a cooling section on which the containers 2 are cooled after leaving the shrink tunnel or the functional unit 7 for hardening the shrink film and thus for stabilizing the respective container 2, in an air flow generated by a plurality of fans or fans ,
- the functional unit 9 serves to attach a carrying handle to the respective container 2, which is stabilized by cooling the shrink film, for example in the form of a plastic strap or film strip forming a carrying loop, etc.
- the functional unit 10 serves to assemble the individual containers 2, which are supplied successively to this functional unit in the transport direction A, to form groups of containers with the respectively required layer pattern, d. H. to arrange so that the respective layer image corresponds to the arrangement, which then have the container 2 in the subsequent package layer 4.
- the functional unit 11 is supplied with the bundle groups formed by the functional unit 10, from which then the bundle layers 4 are formed by pushing together the bundles 2 of each bundle group.
- the functional unit 10 is designed so that in each case alternately pack layers 4 are produced with different layer image, the (bundle layers) in the FIG. 2 labeled 4.1 and 4.2.
- the outer dimensions of the package layers 4.1 and 4.2 are identical, ie the package layers in turn have the the rectangular top or support surface of the transport and / or storage pallets 5 corresponding dimensions.
- the containers 2 are oriented differently in the respective package layer 4 with their narrow and long sides, ie some of the containers 2 are with their longitudinal sides parallel to the longer peripheral side of the respective package layer 4 and some container with its longitudinal side parallel to the narrower peripheral side of the respective package layer.
- the layer image of the package layers 4.1 and 4.2 is different, so that when stacking these layers of packages, ie at the formation of the plurality of such bundle layers having stack on a transport and storage pallet 5 at least in the outer region of the bundle stack no continuous, vertical joints between the packages and thereby the stability of the package stack formed by the package layers 4 on the respective pallet 5 is ensured.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Verpackungsanlage, d. h. auf eine Anlage zum Zusammenstellen von Gebinden aus Verpackungseinheiten sowie zur Bildung von Transport- und Lagereinheiten aus diesen Gebinden gemäß Oberbegriff Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a packaging system, d. H. to a system for assembling containers from packaging units and for the formation of transport and storage units from these containers according to the preamble of claim 1.
Derartige Anlagen sind bekannt und bestehen aus mehreren, in einer Transport- und Arbeitsrichtung auf einander folgenden Maschinen oder Funktionseinheiten, die jeweils über zusätzliche Transportstrecken miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Transportstrecken zwischen den einzelnen Funktionseinheiten oder Maschinen bedingen u. a. einen hohen Platzbedarf sowie auch erhöhte Investitions- und Betriebskosten für die jeweilige Anlage.Such systems are known and consist of several, in a transport and working direction on each other following machines or functional units, which are connected to each other via additional transport routes. These transport routes between the individual functional units or machines require u. a. a high space requirement as well as increased investment and operating costs for the respective plant.
Eine derartige Anlage gemäß den Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 wurde beispielsweise durch die

Ebenfalls bekannt wurde eine Vorrichtung nach der
Allen bislang bekannt gewordenen Anlagen zur Herstellung von Verpackungen aus Schrumpffolie ist der Nachteil gemeinsam, dass für einen Störungsfall keinerlei Vorkehrungen zum Schutz der im Schrumpftunnel befindlichen Produkte vorsehen. Ebenfalls gibt der Stand der Technik keine Hinweise darauf, welche Größe eine, im Anschluss an einen Schrumpftunnel anzuordnende Puffer- oder Sicherheitsstrecke aufweisen soll, um eine sichere Produktion auch im Störungsfall zu ermöglichen, ohne dass der Raumbedarf einer derartigen Anlage über das zwingend notwendige Maß hinaus ansteigt.All hitherto known installations for the production of shrink-film packaging have the common disadvantage that, in the event of a malfunction, no provision is made for protecting the products located in the shrink tunnel. Likewise, the state of the art gives no indication as to what size a buffer or safety section to be arranged following a shrink tunnel should have in order to enable safe production even in the event of a fault without the space requirement of such a system exceeding the absolutely necessary extent increases.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Anlage aufzuzeigen, die diese Nachteile vermeidet und sich trotz hoher Betriebssicherheit durch einen geringen Platzbedarf sowie reduzierte Investitions- und Betriebskosten auszeichnet. Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe ist eine Anlage entsprechend dem Patentanspruch 1 ausgebildet.The object of the invention is to show a system that avoids these disadvantages and is characterized despite high reliability by a small footprint and reduced investment and operating costs. To solve this problem, a system according to claim 1 is formed.
Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass durch unmittelbares Anschließen der einzelnen Funktionselemente oder Maschinen, der Platzbedarf sowie die Investitions- und Betriebskosten der Anlage, aber auch der Wartungsaufwand gegenüber herkömmlichen Anlagen erheblich reduziert werden können, allerdings dies nur dann, wenn auf die den Schrumpftunnel zum Schrumpfen der Schrumpffolie und die anschließende Kühlstrecke bildenden Funktionseinheiten (zweite und dritte Funktionseinheit im Sinne der Erfindung) in Transportrichtung vor weiteren Funktionseinheiten der Anlage eine zumindest als Ansammlungsstrecke dienende Transportstrecke vorgesehen ist, deren Fassungsvermögen bzw. Kapazität zumindest gleich dem Fassungsvermögen bzw. der Kapazität des Schrumpftunnels ist. Hierdurch ist sichergestellt, dass in einem Störungsfall der Schrumpftunnel vollständig leer gefahren werden kann, also keine Gebinde im Schrumpftunnel verbleiben und es dort auch nicht zu einer Überhitzung von Gebinden oder Schrumpffolie kommen kann. Dieses Konzept ermöglicht es, den Schrumpftunnel so zu dimensionieren und zu betreiben, dass bei der Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Gebinde im Normal-Betrieb durch den Schrumpftunnel bewegt werden, dass Schrumpfen der Schrumpffolie zuverlässig erfolgt, im Störungsfall aber trotz der kompakten Ausführung der Anlage eine Überhitzung von Gebinden im Schrumpftunnel zu verhindern, und zwar ohne aufwändige Schutz-Maßnahmen im und/oder am Schrumpftunnel, wie Kühlgebläse usw..The invention is based on the finding that by directly connecting the individual functional elements or machines, the space requirements and the investment and operating costs of the system, but also the maintenance costs compared to conventional systems can be significantly reduced, but only if the shrink tunnel for shrinking the shrink film and the subsequent cooling line forming functional units (second and third functional unit according to the invention) in the transport direction before other functional units of the system at least serving as accumulation section transport path is provided whose capacity or capacity at least equal to the capacity or capacity of the Shrink tunnels is. This ensures that, in the event of a malfunction, the shrink tunnel can be driven completely empty, ie no containers remain in the shrink tunnel and there can also be no overheating of containers or shrink film there. This concept makes it possible to dimension and operate the shrink tunnel in such a way that, given the speed with which the packages are moved through the shrink tunnel during normal operation, the shrink film shrinks reliably, but in the event of a fault, despite the compact design of the system Prevent overheating of containers in the shrink tunnel, and without consuming protective measures in and / or on the shrink tunnel, such as cooling fans, etc ..
Der Platzbedarf der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage beträgt nur noch einen Bruchteil des Platzbedarfes herkömmlicher Anlagen. Ein weiterer wesentlicher Vorteil der Erfindung besteht in einer erheblichen Reduzierung des für die Verkabelung (Steuerung und Energiezuführung) notwendigen Aufwandes sowie in einer Minimierung des Reinigungsaufwands.The space requirement of the system according to the invention is only a fraction of the space required by conventional systems. Another essential advantage of the invention consists in a considerable reduction of the effort required for the wiring (control and energy supply) and in a minimization of the cleaning effort.
Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Anlage können einzelne Maschinen und Funktionseinheiten problemlos ausgetauscht werden, um die Anlage an den jeweiligen Bedarf anzupassen, so kann beispielsweise die erste Funktionseinheit, in der die Schrumpffolie aufgebracht wird, je nach Bedarf als sogenannter Shrink-Packer oder Tray-Shrinkpacker ausgebildet sein oder aber durch eine Wrap-Around-Verpackungsmaschine ersetzt werden.In the system according to the invention individual machines and functional units can be easily replaced to adapt the system to the respective needs, so for example, the first functional unit in which the shrink film is applied, be designed as needed as a so-called shrink packer or tray shrink packer or be replaced by a wrap-around packaging machine.
Weiterhin wird durch das spezielle Anlagenkonzept der Erfindung auch die Anzahl der notwendigen Bedienungspersonen deutlich reduziert, so dass in der Regel für die gesamte Anlage nur noch eine einzige Bedienungsperson erforderlich ist.Furthermore, the number of necessary operators is significantly reduced by the special plant concept of the invention, so that usually only a single operator is required for the entire system.
Unter "Verpackungseinheit" sind im Sinne der Erfindung generell Verpackungen mit einem Verpackungsinhalt zu verstehen, beispielsweise Flaschen, Dosen oder andere Behälter, Verpackungen aus Karton, Kunststoff usw.. Unter "Gebinde" sind im Sinne der Erfindung generell Zusammenstellungen von mehreren Verpackungseinheiten oder mehrere zu jeweils einer Gruppe zusammengefasste Verpackungseinheiten zu verstehen, und zwar unabhängig davon, ob die Verpackungseinheiten unter Verwendung eines Gebindeträgers (z.B. Tray) oder ohne einen solchen Träger zusammengefasst oder zusammengestellt sind.For the purposes of the invention, "packaging unit" is generally packaging having a packaging content, for example bottles, cans or other containers, packaging made of cardboard, plastic, etc. In the context of the invention, "containers" are generally combinations of several packaging units or more In each case a group summarized packaging units to understand, regardless of whether the packaging units are summarized or assembled using a container carrier (eg tray) or without such a carrier.

Diese Funktionseinheit 6 dient dazu, die Verpackungseinheiten 3 in den jeweiligen Gebindeträger einzusetzen und anschließend den Gebindeträger und die Verpackungseinheiten 3 mit der Schrumpffolie zu versehen. Grundsätzlich ist es auch möglich, dass der Funktionseinheit 6 die Gebindeträger bereits mit den in diesen platzierten Verpackungseinheiten 3 zugeführt werden und in der Einrichtung 6 lediglich das Aufbringen der Schrumpffolie erfolgt.This functional unit 6 serves to insert the packaging units 3 in the respective container carrier and then to provide the container carrier and the packaging units 3 with the shrink film. In principle, it is also possible for the functional unit 6 to already be supplied with the packaging carriers with the packaging units 3 placed in them, and only for the application of the shrink film in the device 6.
Die Funktionseinheit 7 ist im Wesentlichen ein Schrumpftunnel, in welchem die Schrumpffolie zum dichten Anliegen an dem Gebindeträger und den Verpackungseinheiten 3 durch Hitzeeinwirkung geschrumpft wird.The functional unit 7 is essentially a shrink tunnel, in which the shrink film is shrunk by the action of heat for sealing contact with the package carrier and the packaging units 3.

Lediglich in Transportrichtung auf die Funktionseinheit 8 folgend ist eine kurze Sammel- oder Transportstrecke 16 vorgesehen, deren Länge bzw. Aufnahmekapazität gleich oder geringfügig größer ist als die Transportlänge oder die Kapazität bzw. das Fassungsvermögen des Schrumpftunnels der Funktionseinheit 7. Unter Kapazität bzw. Fassungsvermögen ist dabei die maximale Anzahl der Gebinde 2 zu verstehen, die im Schrumpftunnel Platz findet.The peculiarity of the system consists in the fact that the
Im Störungsfall, beispielsweise bei einer Störung von in Transportrichtung A auf die Funktionseinheit 8 folgenden Funktionseinheiten, z. B. bei einer Störung der Funktionseinheit 9 ist es möglich ist, die Funktionseinheit 7 bzw. den dortigen Schrumpftunnel leer zu fahren und dadurch eine Überhitzung von Gebinden 2 im Schrumpftunnel zu vermeiden.In case of failure, for example, in a disturbance of in the transport direction A to the
Bei der dargestellten Ausführungsform ist eine weitere Transportstrecke 17 in Transportrichtung A vor der Einrichtung 10 zur Erzeugung der Gebindegruppen mit dem jeweils erforderlichen Lagenbild vorgesehen. Diese Transportstrecke 17 dient dazu, die einzelnen, in Transportrichtung A in zum Teil unregelmäßigen Abständen aufeinander folgenden und mit ihren Längsseiten parallel zur Transportrichtung A orientierten Gebinde 2 soweit zu beabstanden und zu positionieren, dass in der anschließenden Funktionseinheit 10 die Gebindegruppen in dem erforderlichen Lagenbild zusammengestellt werden können und es hierfür insbesondere auch möglich ist, einzelne Gebinde um ihre vertikale Achse zu drehen.In the illustrated embodiment, a
