Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of the packaging of food products.
  • the present invention concerns a plant for forming and loading groups of food products on supply devices of packaging machines according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • This technology allows various products, including individual food product or food products sorted into groups, to be packaged quickly, using a sheet of plastic material, which is wound around the product or the products of a group and heat-sealed at the flaps so as to form a sort of tubular packet that encloses the product or the products of the group.
  • such plants generally comprise a first conveyor, normally coming from the production unit, on which the food products are arranged at random, a plurality of second conveyors, generally flanked to the first conveyor, on which the food products are arranged in groups and pickers arranged along the flow direction of the first conveyor through which the random food products are picked up individually from the first conveyor and arranged to form groups on the second conveyors.
  • Each second conveyor of the plurality of second conveyors is associated with a packaging machine (particularly of the flow-pack type) in which the groups of food products transported by it are packaged.
  • the aforementioned plants also comprise a sensor upstream of the pickers along the flow direction of the first conveyor to detect the orientation and position of the individual food products on the first conveyor and a command and control unit in communication with the sensor and the pickers to control the operation of the pickers according to the data detected by the sensor.
  • a plant of the aforementioned type according to the preamble of claim 1 is described for example in US patent 5,186,599 .
  • This document describes a plant in which discshaped biscuits arranged at random on a first conveyor are picked up from said first conveyor through suitable pickers and arranged to form groups of piled up biscuits on second conveyors flanking the first conveyor for a portion thereof.
  • each group of piled up biscuits is arranged in a space defined between two consecutive thrusters emerging vertically from the plane of the second conveyors.
  • the first conveyor and the second conveyors are made to flow in the same flow direction and, moreover, the second conveyors have a packaging machine associated with them into which the groups of biscuits are transported by the thrusters for packaging.
  • the technical problem at the basis of the present invention is that of providing a plant for forming groups of food products intended for packaging that overcomes the quoted drawbacks with reference to the prior art and in particular a plant capable of constantly ensuring a suitable production capacity even in the case of faults for example with the packaging machines.
  • a plant for forming groups of food products intended to be packaged is globally indicated with 1.
  • the plant 1 comprises a first conveyor 2 having a portion 2a mobile along a flow direction A and two second conveyor 3a and 3b respectively arranged for an end portion thereof at opposite sides of the portion 2a of the first conveyor 2.
  • the two second conveyors 3a and 3b are respectively arranged at the opposite flanks of the portion 2a of the first conveyor 2.
  • the plant 1 also comprises a plurality of pickers 7 supported on a frame 20 and arranged in series above the portion 2a of the first conveyor 2, along its flow direction A, so as to define an active area 8 for gripping food products 5 from the first conveyor 2.
  • each picker 7 is of the type having one or more robotised arms 9 terminating at the bottom with a suction head 10 to which a vacuum is applied or the application of the vacuum is interrupted to pick up to individual food products 5 from the first conveyor 2 and to arrange the picked up food products 5 on one of the two second conveyors 3a and 3b respectively.
  • the one or more robotised arms 9 can terminate with a gripper to carry out the same functions indicated above instead of with a suction head 10.
  • pickers 7 that can be used in the present invention include, without any limitation, scara robot and delta robot.
  • each picker 7 has an action range corresponding to a predetermined portion of the active picking area 8 and is able to move along the entire direction of the width of the first conveyor 2.
  • the second conveyors 3a and 3b each have a plurality of thrusters 11 projecting from them at the top and arranged a predetermined distance apart.
  • Each pair of consecutive thrusters 11 of a second conveyor 3a or 3b defines a space 12 in which the individual food products 5 picked up by the pickers 7 from the first conveyor 2 are arranged so as to form sorted groups of food products.
  • each sorted group 13 consists of two piled up rows of three buns each.
  • the second conveyors 3a and 3b are each mobile in counterflow, i.e. along a flow direction B opposite the direction A of the first conveyor 2 and are each in communication with a packaging machine 14 (shown schematically with a dotted line in figure 1 ) in which the groups 13 of food products 5 thrusted by the thrusters 11 are transported for packaging.
  • the second conveyors 3a and 3b preferably move with continuous movement adjusted according to the feeding characteristics of the groups 13 of food products 5 in the packaging machines 14 associated with them and according to the speed and/or flow rate of food products 5 on the first conveyor 2.
  • the plant 1 also comprises at least one detection device 16 arranged on the first conveyor 2 and a command and control unit, globally indicated with 8, in two-directional communication with said at least one detection device 16 and with each picker 7, so as to receive and transmit data to and from each of them.
  • the plant 1 shows a detection device 16 upstream of the pickers 7 and a command and control unit globally indicated with 18 in two-directional communication with said detection device 16 and with each picker 7.
  • the plant 1 according to the invention can furthermore comprise one or more detection devices arranged on the first conveyor 2 at the active picking area 8 and in a predetermined distanced relationship from each other.
  • Each detection device 16 allows the position and orientation of the individual food products 5 on the first conveyor 2 to be detected before the entry into the active area of the pickers 7 (for the device 16 arranged upstream of the pickers 7) or in a predetermined portion of said active area 8.
  • the detection devices are per se conventional and include, without limitations, optical sensors, for example video cameras.
  • the data detected by the device 16 upstream of the pickers 7 is suitably processed by the command and control unit 18 that in turn takes care of controlling the operation of the pickers 7 so that the food products 5 detected and entering into the active area 8 are picked up by the pickers 7 and arranged in the spaces 12 of a respective second conveyor 3a or 3b.
  • a part of the pickers 7 arranged along the flow direction A of the first conveyor 2 is assigned the task of picking up and arranging food products 5 in the spaces 12 of one of the two second conveyors 3a and 3b while the remaining part of the pickers 7 is assigned the task of picking up and arranging food products 5 in the spaces 12 of the other of the two second conveyors 3a and 3b.
  • the plant comprises six pickers 7a to 7f half of which 7a, 7d, 7f are assigned to pick up and arrange food products 5 in the spaces 12 of the second conveyor 3b (as indicated by the arrow E in figure 3 ) and the other half of which 7b, 7c, 7e are assigned to pick up and arrange food products 5 in the spaces 12 of the second conveyor 3a (as indicated by the arrow F).
  • the plant 1 foresees controlling the operating speed of the pickers 7 by means of the command and control unit 18 according to the speed or flow rate of food products 5 on the first conveyor 2 and/or the degree of saturation of the spaces 12 of the second conveyors 3a and 3b with the food products 5.
  • the operating speed of the pickers 7 and/or the speed of the second conveyors 3a and 3b is controlled so that there are no residual food products 5 on the first conveyor 2 coming out from the portion of active area 8 of the picker 7b furthest downstream in the flow direction of the first conveyor 2 and so as to complete the filling with food products 5 of the spaces 12 between consecutive thrusters 11 that move away from the portion of the active area 8 of the picker 7a furthest upstream in the flow direction A of the first conveyor 2.
  • the operating speed of the pickers 7 and/or the speed or flow rate of food products 5 on the first conveyor 2 is controlled so that there are no residual food products 5 on the first conveyor 2 coming out from the portion of active area 8 of the picker 7f furthest downstream in the flow direction of the first conveyor 2 and so as to complete the filling with food products 5 of the spaces 12 between consecutive thrusters 11 that move away from the portion of the active area 8 of the picker 7a furthest upstream in the flow direction A of the first conveyor 2.
  • the pickers 7c to 7f of a plurality of pickers furthest downstream in the flow direction A of the first conveyor 2 are controlled by the unit 18 so that they have a greater operating speed than at least one picker 7a or 7b, preferably a plurality of pickers 7a and 7b, furthest upstream in the flow direction A of the first conveyor 2.
  • the pickers 7c to 7f furthest downstream will have a greater workload and shall take care of filling most of the spaces 12 between the consecutive thrusters 11 with the food products 5 at the same time ensuring that there are no residual food products on the first conveyor 2 coming out downstream from the active picking area 8.
  • the pickers 7a and 7b furthest upstream will have a smaller workload mainly carrying out the function of completing the filling of the spaces 12 between the consecutive thrusters 11 that move away upstream of the active picking area 8.
  • the plant 1 also comprises an additional conveyor 3c arranged to the side of the first conveyor 2 on the same side as one of the second conveyors 3a and 3b.
  • the additional conveyor 3c is arranged flanked to the second conveyor 3b.
  • the additional conveyor 3c is also connected to a conventional packaging machine 14 and is structurally and functionally equivalent to the second conveyors 3a and 3b. However, unlike the second conveyors 3a and 3b that in normal operating conditions of the plant 1 are both operative (see figure 3 ), the additional conveyor 3c is normally not operative and intervenes, or rather is actuated in movement, whenever a packaging machine 14 associated with one of the second operative conveyors 3a or 3b becomes blocked.
  • the second conveyor 3a or 3b associated with the blocked packaging machine 14 is stopped and the additional conveyor 3c replaces it entirely in its functions and the packaging machine 14 associated with the additional conveyor 3c also replaces the blocked packaging machine 14.
  • the starting of the additional conveyor 3c is automatically transmitted to the command and control unit 18, which in turn takes care of controlling the operation of the pickers 7 so that the pickers till then assigned to transfer the food products 5 picked up from the first conveyor 2 into the spaces 12 of the interrupted second conveyor 3a or 3b pass instead to transfer such food products 5 into the spaces 12 of the additional conveyor 3c.
  • the pickers 7a, 7d and 7f through the unit 18 shall be controlled so as to transfer the food products 5 picked up from the first conveyor 5 onto the additional conveyor 3c instead of onto the second conveyor 3b.
  • the pickers 7b, 7c and 7f shall be controlled by the unit 18 so as to transfer the food products 5 picked up from the first conveyor 5 onto the additional conveyor 3c instead of onto the second conveyor 3a.
  • the additional conveyor 3c can be arranged in any way with respect to the second conveyors 3a and 3b and/or to the first conveyor 1, in the present invention it is preferable that the additional conveyor 3c be arranged to the side of the first conveyor 2 on the same side at which at least one of the second conveyors 3a and 3b is arranged.
  • the additional conveyor 3c is arranged at one flank of the second conveyor 3b.
  • the control of the pickers 7 by the unit 18 is easier during the transient passages of the formation of groups 13 of food products 5 from a second conveyor 3a or 3b to an additional conveyor 3c since when said second conveyor 3a or 3b and said additional conveyor are on the same side it is not necessary to reverse the direction of movement of the food products picked up by the pickers.
  • the plant 40 differs from the plant 1 described above substantially for a different arrangement of the second conveyors 3a and 3b and of the additional conveyor 3c with respect to the first conveyor 2.
  • the second conveyors 3a and 3b and the additional conveyor 3c are arranged in series to the side of the first conveyor 2 on the same side.
  • the main advantage of the plant according to the invention lies in the fact that with it allows to achieve a substantially constant production capacity in formation of groups of food products and in packaging of such groups of products even in the case of faults, such as one or more packaging machine associated with it becoming blocked.
  • the plant according to the invention can foresee many additional conveyors with relative associated packaging machines instead of just one as described above.
  • a further advantage of the plant according to the invention lies in the fact that the plant of the invention requires a not excessive number of additional elements with respect to the corresponding known plants, such as one or more additional conveyors with relative packaging machines and a suitable control unit capable of managing also the transitional passages for loading the food products from an operative conveyor to an additional conveyor.
  • additional elements do not considerably affect the costs for making the plant according to the invention which are overall lower than those that would be necessary to have constant production with known plants (indeed, for such a purpose a plurality of such plants would be necessary).
  • the plant according to the invention does not foresee the use of expensive additional elements such as pickers, for example additional delta robots and the like.
  • the plant 1 could be made so as to foresee the movement of the second conveyors 3a and 3b and of the additional conveyor 3c in the same flow direction A as the conveyor 2 and a control of the operation of the pickers 7 adapted to this type of flow without affecting the need for saturation of the spaces 12 of the second conveyors 3a and 3b and possibly of the spaces 12 of the additional conveyor 3c replacing one of the second conveyors 3a and 3b.
