Description

Device for wrapping groups of packages

description

The invention relates to a device for wrapping objects, in particular packs or groups of packages, with at least one blank Außenumhül¬ ment, the article with entrainment of the blank in a receptacle of a Falt¬ device, in particular in a pocket of a rotating folding turret inserted and the blank in the insertion movement is U-shaped folded around the object.

The wrapping of packs or pack groups with a blank is one of the standard tasks of packaging technology. It is customary to keep the blank separated from a material web at the entry side of the receptacle or pocket and to form a U-shaped partial envelope on the package. For large area objects or for larger groups of packs or packs with less dimensional stability, eg. As tobacco pouches, Schiefstellun¬ conditions, faults, etc. can adjust in the area of the blank when inserting, which lead to a bad package.

The invention is therefore based on the object verbes¬ the attachment of a blank for an (outer) wrapping of packs or groups to the effect that even with high performance of the packaging device a precise position of the blank is guaranteed after the first folding step.

To achieve this object, the device according to the invention is gekennzeich¬ net, that the receptacle or pocket in the range of parallel to the insertion ver¬ current pocket walls, preferably according to the top and bottom of the bag in the insertion position, conveying organs, during the insertion movement of the article and the blank can be moved in the direction of insertion at a speed which corresponds approximately to the insertion speed.

The invention is based on the finding that a precise folding of the blank can be effected when the limits of the receptacle or pocket resting against the blank are correspondingly moved during the (insertion) movement. Another special feature is the arrangement of a movable within the receptacle or pocket stop for a front in the insertion direction insertion side of the Ge genstands with adjacent blank. This stop or a stop piece effects a further securing of the blank with regard to a correct contact with the object.

In a special way, the folding turret is embodied which has a receptacle or pocket which extends diametrically through the folding turret and which is individually and variably limited by the movable stop piece with regard to the depth. The folding turret itself is designed as a replaceable unit, so that for adapting the format, the complete folding turret can be exchanged in a simple manner and folding turrets of different dimensions can be used for articles of different sizes while maintaining driving and carrying units.

Further details of the invention are explained below with reference to the drawings. It shows:

FIG. 14 shows the detail according to FIG. 13 in cross section, namely in the sectional plane XIV-XIV of FIG. 13.

It involves the (all-round) wrapping of objects with a blank 10 for the formation of an (outer) enclosure. In the illustrated embodiments, packages 11 are produced, namely bundle packs whose contents are a plurality of individual packs. These are bag packs 12 for sliced tobacco, ie single packs with a low dimensional stability. The Beutel¬ packs 12 are arranged in an upright position next to each other, with a longitudinal extent pointing in the conveying direction. The outer covering or the blank 10 is attached in such a way that a longitudinal covering 13 or a "tube cover" is created on a (lower) side. Opposite end faces 14 have an "envelope fold" with inner side tabs 15, 16 and outer, trapezoidal longitudinal tabs 17, 18th

For producing such a (package) pack 11, an otherwise manufactured and formed pack group 19 in the region of a plug-in station 20 for insertion into a folding device, namely in a folding turret 21, held ready. The packing group 19 is introduced by a slide 22 into a receptacle of the folding turret 21, namely into a pocket 23. The blank 10 is held ready for entrainment by the packing group 19 when it is inserted into the pocket 23 on the circumference of the folding turret 21 ,

The blank 10 is separated from a continuous material web 24, in particular film web. This is supplied in an upper region of the folding about a horizontal axis folding turret 24 of the peripheral surface thereof. In a known manner angeord¬ designated and acting suction holes fix the web 24 and the severed blank on the peripheral surface of the folding turret 21. The via a guide roller to the Scope of the folding turret 21 guided material web 24 is taken by the folding turret 21. If a length 10 of the material web 24 corresponding to a blank 10 rests on the circumference of the folding turret 21, the blank 10 is separated from the material web 24 by a separating device. The separating device consists of a fixed separating knife 25 arranged above the folding turret and of a plurality of diametrically opposite counter knives 26 on the circumference of the folding turret 21. A separating cut is carried out when one of the rotating counter-blades 26 is located in the region of the separating blade 25. The counter knives 26 are arranged so that the severed blank is in a desired relative position to an inlet opening or mouth of the pocket 23. In the present case, the blank 10 is positioned offset to the entry side of the pocket 23, namely to form a longer, lower leg 27 and a shorter leg 28 above the pocket 23rd

When inserted into the pocket 23, the blank 10 is applied in a U-shaped manner to the pack group 19. The (longer) leg 27 is located at the bottom, the leg 28 at the top of the pack group 19. A transverse leg 29 forms the front of the inserted into the pocket 23 unit. During the insertion movement, the blank 10 loosens slipping from the peripheral surface of the folding turret 21st

A special feature is that boundaries of the pocket 23, namely pocket walls in the region of the legs 27, 28, are designed to be movable and are moved in the insertion direction in accordance with the insertion movement of the pack group 19 and blank 10, so that there is no relative movement. The respective pocket walls consist of endless conveyors, namely straps 30, 31. These can be moved during the insertion process by the pack group 19 or the blank 10 due to entrainment. Advantageously, an independent drive of the straps 30, 31. Each one of the pocket 23 facing conveyor strand 32, 33 forms a boundary of the pocket 23 and a pocket wall. The straps 30, 31 extend integrally over at least the full width of the pocket 23. Adjacent and opposite transverse guide rollers 34, 35 of the straps 30, 31 are arranged.

Another special feature is that the (single) pocket 23 of the folding turret 21 extends diametrically through the folding turret 21, so that a discharge trough 21 extends. tion 36 same pocket 23 opposite the insertion station 20 is formed. The Faltre¬ volver 21 is cyclically rotated by 180 °, so that after inserting a Packungsgrup¬ PEPE 19 with blank 10 in the pocket 23 and after rotation of the folding turret 21 be¬ the appropriate unit 10, 19 is in the region of the exit station 36. The conveying members, namely straps 30, 31 extend over the full length of the pockets 23, that is, transversely or diametrically through the cylindrical folding turret 21.

In the pocket 23, a stop piece 37 is arranged and movable within the pocket 23, namely from the side of the insertion station 22 to the opposite exit station 36. In the end positions of the stop piece 37 are transverse Anlageflä¬ surfaces 38, 39 with the circumference of Folding turret 21 (approximately) flush.

When inserting a pack group 19 with blank 10, the stop piece 37 or its contact surface 38 forms a support surface for the blank 10, for the transverse leg 29. This lies with a certain pressure on the contact surface 38. With the Ein¬ pushing movement is the stop piece 37th in the radial direction within the pocket 23, and preferably according to the movement of the straps 30, 31. The Zu¬ section 10 is so friction-free on three sides of the packing group 19 fixed.

If the pack group 19 is completely inserted into the pocket 23 (FIGS. 4, 7), the correspondingly dimensioned stop piece 37 is flush with the folding turret 21 in the region of the exit station 35. The folding turret 21 can now execute the rotational movement, namely in the counterclockwise direction. The end position is shown in FIG. 2. The object to be enveloped, namely the pack group 19 with blank 10, is in the position for the ejection from the folding turret 21.

The stopper 37 performs a dual function, namely causes the ejection of the partially finished package 11 from the folding turret 21. This extension is accompanied by the insertion of the next pack group 19 under radially directed displacement of the stop piece 37. The contact surface 39 causes the ejection the preceding unit 19, 10. For this purpose, the stopper piece 37 is formed block-shaped, namely cuboid, with dimensions corresponding to the width and height of the interior of the pocket 23. In the longitudinal direction thereof, the stop piece 37 so be measure that in the respective end positions a free space in the pocket 23 is formed, which corresponds to the dimensions of an object to be wrapped.

The stop piece 37 is connected according to a first embodiment with the straps 30, 31, so it is driven with these. Due to the rotational movement of the folding turret 21, the movement of the straps or of the conveying runs 32, 33 and of the stopper piece 37 always takes place in the same direction, namely from left to right, with reference to FIG. 2.

In the embodiment according to FIGS. 2 to 5, a simple thrust mechanism is provided for generating the movement. The stop piece 37 is fastened by means of transversal cross-members 40, 41 to preferably two straps 30, 31 or conveyor runs 32, 33. The traverses 40, 41 have on the conveying strand 32, 33 facing side on a (trapezoidal) depression. In this form-fitting enters a clamping piece 40, 41, which is connected to the stop piece 34 on the one hand and on the underside on the other hand. The belt 30, 31 or its conveying run 32, 33 is deflected in the region of the traverse 40, 41 and held permanently by the clamping piece in the recess or recess of the cross-member 40, 41.

The drive for moving the stop piece 37 with the straps 30, 31 is transmitted (indirectly) via the traverses 40, 41. These are connected at their ends with guides or a common carriage 43. The upper traverse 40 and the lower Tra¬ verse 41 are each secured with an angled end leg at the top and bottom of the carriage 43.

The arranged on both sides carriage 43 are reciprocated in the longitudinal direction of the pocket 23 and forth. The carriage 43 are slidably guided on support rods 44, 45. Two support rods 44, 45 extend one above the other and at a distance in the longitudinal direction of the pocket 23.

The driving force is transmitted by push rods 46, which likewise extend in the longitudinal direction of the pocket 23, in each case in the region of the slides 43 on both sides. The push rods 46 are fixedly connected to the crossbars 40, 41 and the slides 43, respectively. In terms of length, the push rods 46 are sized so that they are in an initial position in each case protrude from the pocket 23 (Fig. 5). To Verschie¬ tion of the movable members, so the stop piece 37 and the movement of the straps 30, 31, the two push rods 46 are applied at the free ends with pressure and verschoben ben in the longitudinal direction of the pocket 23 to the opposite end position. This movement is effected by outside of the pocket 23 and the folding turret 21 stationarily positioned thrust members, which are arranged in the region of the insertion station 20 ange¬. These are rod-shaped plungers 47 which come to bear against the free ends of the push rods 46. The (two) plunger 47 are connected to a common cross member 48, so that the two push rods 46 are always applied together and simultaneously. On the cross member 48 and the slider 22 and a rod thereof is attached, so that insertion of the pack group 19 and the Be¬ actuation of the push rods 46 always run simultaneously. The push rods 46 occur in the pushing movement opposite from the bag 23. After rotation of the folding revolver 21, the push rods 46 are again in the starting position effective for the actuation, namely after prior retraction of the unit consisting of slide 22 and plunger 47.

The folding turret 21 is rotatable as a whole and connected for this purpose with lateral, rotatable support pieces, namely support disks 49, 50. The folding turret 21 with organs to be described is arranged in total between these support disks 49, 50 (FIG. 5). The rotary drive is transmitted to these support disks 49, 50, by an axle or shaft 51st

According to an alternative shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 9, the drive is transmitted directly to the stop piece 37 and from there to the straps 30, 31. A drive motor, namely a servo drive 52, is gearingly connected to the stopper 37 via a drive shaft 53. The rotational movements thereof are transmitted through a pinion to a gearing 55 connected to the stopper 37 to produce a reciprocating motion. Pinion 54 and (straight) teeth 55 are arranged within the stop member 37 formed as a hollow body. The pinion 54 is fixedly mounted centrally to the folding turret 21. By rotary movement of the pinion, the stopper piece 37 is displaced in the corresponding direction. The drive shaft 53 extends centrally within the shaft 51 designed as a hollow shaft for the rotational movement of the folding turret 21. The shaft 51 is also in this embodiment by Ser- Voantrieb 56 driven by a toothed belt 57 rotating. The pinion 54 is always driven due to the described movements in one direction for moving the stopper piece 37 from one end position to the other.

The drive shaft 53 extends centrally to the carriage 43. This is therefore in this Aus¬ leadership example divided into two sub-slides 79, 80, each on a support rod 44, 45 are ver¬ pushed. The drive shaft 53 extends between the sub-slides 79, 80 (FIGS. 9, 10).

When inserting the article or the packing group 19 into the pocket 23, the blank 10 is placed around the packing group 19 so that the inner leg 28 of the blank 10 lies at the top of the packing group 19 (offset relative position on the circumference of the folding turret 21). Fig. 4). The rotational movement of the folding revolver 21 begins, while the longer leg 27 still partially rests on the circumference of the folding turret 21. Only when the rotation has been completed is the leg 27 folded around at the rear side when the packing group 19 is inserted until it abuts against the leg 28. The longitudinal covering 13 or tube folding thus arises on the underside of the packing group 19, specifically during the extension the unit from the pocket 23 in a subsequent to the folding turret 21 shaft mouthpiece 58 with top wall 59 and bottom wall 60 (Fig. 2, Fig. 4, Fig. 11 - Fig. 14).

During the diametrical movement of the packing group 19 with blank 10 through the folding turret 21, further folding tabs are formed. By stationary folding members, namely side pieces 61 for lateral delimitation of the pocket 23 and the interior of the same is when inserting the pack group 19 with blank 10 in the direction Einschub¬ forward, upright side flap 15 by an obliquely directed folding surface 62 of the side piece 61 to the plant Folded on an outer bag pack 10 ge. The opposite side tabs 16, which is at the front after rotation of the folding turret 21, is folded out of the pocket 23 by lateral folding members in the region of the mouthpiece 58 when the unit is ejected.

A special feature is an organ for tightening the blank 10 on the folding turret 21 or when inserted into the pocket 23. For this purpose, a tightening member is arranged on the underside or below the folding turret 21, namely a rotationally driven Suction roll 63. This detects an edge portion of the blank 10, namely the leg 27. The suction roll 63 is driven in opposite directions and winds a portion of the blank 10 on the circumference. When removing the blank 10 during the insertion movement, a smoothing tension is transmitted to the blank 10.

5

Another special feature is that the suction roller 63 eliminates any faulty blanks or blanks 10 when no objects to be enveloped are available. In this case, the blank in question 10 is detected by the suction roller 63 (FIG. 2) and completely conveyed away into a collecting container below the folding turret 21.

I O

The folded out of the folding turret 21, partially folded packages 11 are processed in the mouthpiece 58 by sealing folding flaps. The downwardly directed longitudinal cover 13 is sealed by an upward movable sealing member or by a sealing jaw 64. This occurs through an opening 82 of the sub 15 wall 60 therethrough.

The transfer of the packs 11 to a discharge conveyor or packing conveyor 65 is achieved in a special manner with the aid of the mouthpiece 58. This is displaceable in the conveying direction with the pack 11. In a receiving position (FIGS. 2, 11), the mouthpiece 0 58 faces the folding turret 21 or the exit station 36. The pack 11 is directly pushed out of the pocket 23 into the prepared mouthpiece 58. This process is secured by inlet bend 83 of top wall 59 and bottom wall 60. The sealing jaw 68 is located below the opening 82. After receiving the package 11 in the mouthpiece 58 (FIGS. 11, 12), the sealing jaw 68 is moved upwards. In the area

25 of the opening 82 and thus in the region of the sealing jaw 64 is the Längsüber¬ cover 13, which is now sealed. The sealing jaw 64 is moved synchronously with the mouthpiece 58 in the conveying direction.

Before reaching an end position of the mouthpiece 58 in the initial region 30 of the package conveyor 65, the sealing jaw 68 is moved downwards (FIG. 12) and returns to the initial position in a lower position (FIG. 13). The mouthpiece 58 enters into the region of the package conveyor 65 for the exact transfer of the package 11, so that the package 11 can be picked up precisely between two consecutive carriers 66. The bottom wall 60 extends directly above a top centers of the package conveyor 65 (FIG. 13). The shape of the bottom wall 60 and the catch 66 is matched to one another so that the organs can be moved past one another, so that the pack 11 is pushed out of the mouthpiece 58 and transported away by the respective rearward catch 66. The bottom wall 60 is provided for this purpose with a central recess or a slot 84. In these, a connecting web 85 of the driver 66 enters during the ejection movement of the pack 11 (FIG. 14).

The mouthpiece 58 has for precise guidance of the pack 11 lateral guide members, namely guide pieces 86 which abut the laterally directed end faces 14 and also the laterally directed at this time, upper and lower Längs¬ lobes 17, 18 lead. Furthermore, the side pieces 16 located in the direction of movement at the front are folded by the guide pieces 86.

The package conveyor 65 is formed as an endless belt with drivers 66 which detect the packs 11 at the front and back.

During the transport of the packages 1 1 through the packing conveyor 65, a folding station is traversed with so-called Faltweichen 67. These successively fold the longitudinal tabs 17 and 18 against the side facing packing surfaces. Subsequent to the folding switch 67, the packs 11 reach the area of a further sealing station with lateral sealing jaws 68. These serve to seal the envelope fold 15, 16, 17, 18 on the laterally directed pack surfaces.

Another feature is the design of the folding device such that in a simple manner can be made to adapt to different formats. The folding turret 21 is exchangeable as a unit with respect to the organs to be adapted during a format change. For this purpose, brackets are arranged in the lateral support members, namely support disks 49, 50, to which the parts of the folding turret 21 to be replaced are attached. These are disk-shaped support pieces 69, which are detachably mounted on the inside of the support disks 49, 50, namely displaceably in the transverse axial direction. The support pieces 69 sit (flush) in recesses 70 of the support disks 49, 50 and can be led out by displacement of these recesses 70. On the supporting pieces 69, the straps 30, 31 are mounted, namely their guide rollers 34, 35. Furthermore, a supporting frame for further Orga¬ ne is connected to the support pieces 69, namely a U-shaped mounting bracket 71 in plan view of an in longitudinal direction ¬ tion of the pocket 23 extending web 72 of the support bracket 71 are the bag 23 laterally limiting organs, namely side pieces 61 by means of support bolts 73 are attached. In transverse legs 74 of the support bracket 71 on the one hand, the support rods 44, 45 for the sliding mechanism of the trusses 40, 41 are mounted. On the other hand, in the embodiment according to FIG. 6, in each case the push rod 46 is displaceably mounted in the two webs 72. With the support pieces 69, the support bracket 71 and thus the entire pocket 23 of the folding turret 21 are removed as a coherent unit from the folding turret 21 in a not¬ maneuverable change and er¬ by an identical or similar unit. The drive shaft 53 for the pinion 54 is provided for this replacement in the region of the support piece 69 with a coupling 75.

In the working position, the replaceable unit of the folding turret 21 (mechanical) is secured. As shown in Fig. 10, a locking pin 76 enters a recess 77 of the Trag¬ piece 69 a. The spring-loaded locking pin 76 is seated in a bore 78 of the support plate 50. To replace a folding turret 21 and the format-dependent parts of the locking pin 76 (manually) is pulled out of the detent position. Thereafter, the support pieces 69 can be moved out of the connection with the support disks 48, 49.
