Description
- The present invention relates to an apparatus for filling substantially horizontally placed boxes or crates with vulnerable products such as fruits, supplied in bulk, comprising
- a filling box which is included in a housing and which comprises at least two hinged bottom parts from which the products are discharged in a box or crate to be filled;
- a feeding device for transferring products into the filling box mentioned;
- a filling box control which, during transfer of and filling with products, moves the filling box gradually in the direction of a crate or box to be filled; and
- a control device for controlling the moving and the hinging of the bottom parts after the filling box has been filled to a well-defined level.
- Such a device is known from
NL9201646 - In the device according to
NL9201646 - In order to further improve the transfer of such products into a box or crate, the device according to the present invention is characterized in that upon transfer and filling, the filling box is moved from a first position of transfer to a second position of discharge, while the position of transfer is a substantially slanting position in which the products roll into the filling box on one of the sides of the filling box, while the position of discharge is a substantially vertical position in which the products are evenly distributed over the box before the bottom parts hinge apart for discharging the products substantially vertically downwards.
- It has appeared that with the features according to the present invention, the products are transferred very gradually, and also that in this manner, the boxes and crates are filled in a very even manner. A very frequent shortcoming occurring during filling of boxes, viz. the products ending up beside it or the filling having local, undesired accumulations and, hence, sustaining loss or damage during conveyance, is also remedied in a suitable manner.
- The device can further comprise the feature:
- that the bottom parts are built up from hinged strips extending substantially horizontally, while, with the filling box in the position of discharge, with a strip control unit, the strips hinge gradually outwards whereby an ever enlarging opening is obtained;
- that the strips have a trapezoid cross-section, wherein the strips each have at least a single through-bore in the cross direction, forming a wire guide, while the strip control unit pulls the wire in each bottom part for closing the bottom parts and eases the wire in each bottom part for opening the bottom parts;
- that the strips are inflatable and have a profile whereby, under pressure, a closed position is taken up, while, under pressure relief, the strips relax and an opening is obtained;
- that at the transition from the feeding device to the filling box, a product guide is provided, transferring the products box to the filling box substantially as a layer;
- that the product guide is connected to the filling box control while the position of the product guide and the position of the filling box are geared to each other; and
- that the product guide comprises a hinged plate part.
- The feature of the above-mentioned strips highly advantageously allows a manner of transfer with which the movement of the strips forms a mechanic imitation of the movement of stretching and folding hands, while the strips can be compared to bones in the hand. This is clearly most advantageous when treating and processing vulnerable products such as fruits.
- Hereinafter, the device according to the invention will be described in detail with reference to a few Figures, wherein
-
Fig. 1 gives a schematic view of the device according to the invention; -
Figs. 2 - 7 schematically show successive positions of an exemplary embodiment of the filling box during a cycle of transfer of products, withFig. 2 as starting position of such a cycle,Figs. 3 - 6 as intermediate positions andFig. 7 as final position. In the different Figures, the same pieces or parts have the same reference numerals. - In
Fig. 1 are shown afilling box 1 that is movably suspended in ahousing 2, and afeeding device 4. Thefeeding device 4 may be an endless conveyor belt that can feed products in the direction T and can feed and transfer theproducts 11 into the filling box with a continuous movement. Thefilling box 1 comprises at least two hingedbottom parts 3 that are movable in a manner such and, hence, can be opened such, that products resting in thefilling box 1 can be discharged therefrom into a box or case orcrate 10. Thefilling box 4 is connected to afilling box control 5 with which the displacements and movements of thefilling box 1 and of thebottom parts 3 are controlled and driven. Such a control can for instance be mechanical, such as with a cam disc, electromagnetic, pneumatic, or also hydraulic, or even combinations thereof. - Not represented is a control device which gears the mutual movements and displacements of the
feeding device 4 and thefilling box 1 and thebottom parts 3. In general, this will be a computer that processes signals and gears them to each other. Here however, other solutions, for instance in hardware, generally known to the skilled person are possible too. - In
Figs. 2 - 7 , schematically, a cycle of filling such afilling box 1 is represented. In general, the intermediate positions upon feed and transfer can be called slanting, while upon first feed, a substantially horizontal position, and upon discharge, a substantially vertical position is taken up by thefilling box 1. - In
Fig. 2 , thefilling box 1 is positioned in a substantially horizontal filling position so thatproducts 11 are fed and transferred in the direction T by theconveyor belt 4 into thefilling box 1. The position for thefilling box 1 is realised by, for instance, rotating it around anaxis 6. Thefilling box control 5 fromFig. 1 is not represented here. It is shown how theproducts 11 gradually roll over aproduct guide 7, for instance a plate part from thebelt 4 into thefilling box 1. With the aid of such a transition, theproducts 11 will be fed substantially as a layer. It is clearly shown that thefilling box 1 is closed and thebottom parts 3 take up a closed position. - In
Fig. 3 , a following intermediate position for filling is shown, wherein the filling box is rotated around theaxis 6 in the direction R. As a result of such a relatively small rotation, theproducts 11 are allowed to spread gradually and evenly in thefilling box 1, in particular over thebottom parts 3. - In
Fig. 4 , a further intermediate position is shown, while it can be seen how thefilling box 1 as a whole is gradually filled. In the exemplary embodiment shown, theplate part 7 has not changed position. - In
Fig. 5 , thefilling box 1 is shown in a final position or position of discharge. In this Figure it is represented how the plate part7 has rotated further downwards to still transfer anyproducts 11 that may have remained behind on theplate piece 7. - In
Fig. 6 , thebottom parts 3 are opened for discharging theproducts 11. It can be seen, for instance in connection withFig. 1 , how the bottom parts are built up from hingedstrips filling box 1 into the crate orbox 10. - The hinging is carried out with a strip control unit (not represented). In the embodiment shown, to that end, the strips have a trapezoid cross-section. When bored through cross-wise, through which bore a pulling wire can be guided, the strips can hinge towards each other when pulled and the bottom can be closed, and vice versa. In another exemplary embodiment, not represented in the Figures, strips may be designed in plastic and be inflatable, whereby a similar result is obtained, i.e., under pressure for a closed condition, and under pressure relief for opening the
bottom parts 3. The controls and drives for such strips may be mechanical, electromagnetic, hydraulic or pneumatic. - In
Fig. 7 it is represented how thefilling box 1, after discharge of products, is rotated back into the direction R' to the position according toFig. 2 , to commence a following cycle. - With a control device, for instance a computer, all movements and displacements are geared to each other. This control device will process signals produced by recorders and controls and with these drive the filling box control and the strip control unit and any further moving parts such that a cycle is carried out. It will be clear to all skilled in the art that herein, many variations and modifications are possible. Further, control devices other than a computer, or also combinations, can be utilized.
- It will be clear to all skilled in the art that further modifications of the described concept are possible. Such modifications are understood to be comprised within the protective scope of the appended claims. For instance, the
entire filling box 1 can be built up as hinged unit, for instance as a grapple as used with earth moving and digging operations. In another embodiment, the strips can be divided and driven in a different manner. Several pulling wires or other pulling mechanisms too can be utilized.
