Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum geordneten Zuführen und Ablegen zu verpackender Kleinteile, wie Tabletten, Dragees, Pillen oder dergl., in die in einem vorgegebenen Muster angeordneten Näpfe einer Folienbahn, mit einem Vorratsbehälter, einer in Zuführrichtung dem Vorratsbehälter nachgeordneten Formatplatte mit in dem Muster angeordneten Aufnahmen und einer Transfereinrichtung mit einer Mehrzahl in dem Muster angeordneten Saugern.The invention relates to a device for the orderly feeding and depositing small parts to be packed, such as tablets, dragees, pills or the like., In the arranged in a predetermined pattern cups of a film web, with a reservoir, a supply downstream of the reservoir format plate in the pattern arranged receptacles and a transfer device with a plurality arranged in the pattern suckers.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung ist aus der DE 199 26 893 Al bekannt, die sich in der Praxis bewährt hat, da mit dieser zuverlässig die Produkte in die Näpfe der getaktet vorbewegten Folienbahn transferiert werden können.Such a device is known from DE 199 26 893 Al known, which has proven itself in practice, since with this reliably the products can be transferred into the wells of the clocked advancing film web.

Allerdings gibt es die stetige Anforderungen an bewährte Maschinen, diese mit einem gesteigerten Leistungsvermögen betreiben zu können.However, there are constant demands on proven machines to be able to operate them with increased performance.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, dass die Anzahl transferierter Kleinteile pro Zeiteinheit erhöht werden kann bzw. mehr Zeit zur Verfügung steht, die Aufnahmen der Formatplatte zu befüllen.The invention is therefore based on the object, a device of the type mentioned in such a way that the number of small parts transferred per unit time can be increased or more time is available to fill the recordings of the format plate.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, dass in der Formatplatte das Muster der Aufnahmen mehrfach ausgebildet ist mit einem durch die Größe der Aufnahme bestimmten minimalen Versatz zweier benachbarter Muster.This object is achieved according to the invention in that in the format plate, the pattern of recordings is formed repeatedly with a determined by the size of the recording minimum offset of two adjacent patterns.

Mit einer derartigen Vorrichtung ist der Vorteil verbunden, dass nach der Überführung einer durch das Muster vorgegebenen Anzahl von Kleinteilen nicht die Formatplatte ausgewechselt werden muss, sondern die Formatplatte, die bereits einen Satz in dem Muster angeordneten Kleinteile bereitgestellt hat, auch einen weiteren Satz bereitstellt. Darüber hinaus kann das Muster nicht nur zweifach in der Formatplatte ausgebildet sein, sondern in einer größeren Anzahl, die sich aus dem in der Folienbahn vorgegebenen Mustern mit der Größe der Näpfe in Relation zu deren Abstand ergibt, wie oft also in die Lücke zwischen zwei Näpfe eines Musters weitere Näpfe positioniert werden können. Prinzipiell kann dabei das eine Muster gegenüber dem anderen Muster in beliebiger Richtung verschoben sein.With such a device has the advantage that after the transfer of a predetermined by the pattern number of small parts not the format plate must be replaced, but the format plate, which has already provided a set arranged in the pattern small parts, also provides a further set. In addition, the pattern may be formed not only twice in the format plate, but in a larger number, which results from the predetermined in the film web patterns with the size of the wells in relation to their distance, as often in the gap between two wells a pattern additional cups can be positioned. In principle, one pattern may be displaced in any direction with respect to the other pattern.

Für die Betätigung der Vorrichtung ist es aber günstig, wenn die Muster in der zu der Förderrichtung der Folienbahn senkrechten Richtung versetzt angeordnet sind, da so weder die Bewegungsrichtung der Formatplatte noch die der Sauger angepasst werden muss, wenn von dem einen Muster zu einem der anderen Muster in der Formatplatte gewechselt werden soll. Für dieses Wechseln bietet es sich an, dass eine Einrichtung zum inkrementalen Verschieben der Formatplatte um den Versatz vorgesehen ist. Alternativ besteht auch die Möglichkeit, dass eine Vorrichtung zum inkrementalen Verschieben der Sauger um den Versatz vorgesehen ist, also durch diese Einrichtung bzw. Vorrichtung sichergestellt werden kann, dass die räumliche Zuordnung zwischen dem Muster in der Formatplatte und der Sauger für den Transfer der Kleinteile erhalten bleibt.For the operation of the device, it is advantageous if the patterns are arranged offset in the direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the film web, since so neither the direction of movement of the format plate still the suction must be adjusted when from one pattern to another Pattern in the format plate to be changed. For this change, it is advisable that a device for incrementally moving the format plate is provided by the offset. Alternatively, there is also the possibility that a device for incremental displacement of the suckers is provided by the offset, so it can be ensured by this device or device that receive the spatial association between the pattern in the format plate and the nipple for the transfer of small parts remains.

Zweckmäßig ist es, wenn das Muster in linearen Reihen angeordnete Aufnahmen bzw. Näpfe aufweist. Dadurch ergibt sich insbesondere die Möglichkeit, dass zwischen den Reihen Sortierhilfen auf der Oberfläche der Formatplatte ausgebildet sind, es also erleichtert ist, die Kleinteile in die Aufnahmen einzuführen, aus denen sie dann von den Saugern für den Transfer entnommen werden können. In einfachster Gestaltung sind die Sortierhilfen durch im Querschnitt dreieckkige Stege mit zu den Aufnahmen weisenden Flanken gebildet, so dass von einem Vorratsbehälter auf die Formatplatte geförderte Kleinteile an den Flanken der Sortierhilfe entlang gleiten, sich in linearen Reihen anordnen und in die Aufnahme eingerüttelt oder eingebürstet werden können.It is useful if the pattern has arranged in linear rows receptacles or cups. This results in particular the possibility that between the rows sorting aids are formed on the surface of the format plate, so it is easier to introduce the small parts in the recordings, from which they can then be removed from the suckers for transfer. In a simple design, the sorting aids are formed by cross-sectionally triangular webs with flanks pointing to the receptacles, so that conveyed from a reservoir on the format plate small parts slide along the flanks of the sorting along, arrange themselves in linear rows and shaken or brushed into the recording can.

Um dabei eine Beschädigung der Kleinteile zu vermeiden, bietet es sich an, wenn die Formatplatte mit einer die Reibung reduzierenden Beschichtung versehen ist.In order to avoid damage to the small parts, it makes sense if the format plate is provided with a friction reducing coating.

In der Zeichnung ist eine Vorrichtung dargestellt, die zum geordneten Zuführen und Ablegen zu verpackender Kleinteile, wie Tabletten, Dragees, Pillen oder dergl. in die in einem vorgegebenen Muster A, B angeordneten Näpfe 14 einer Folienbahn 6 dient. Diese Vorrichtung weist zum einen einen Vorratsbehälter 1 auf, dem in Zuführrichtung mindestens eine Formatplatte 4 nachgeordnet ist, in der Aufnahmen 12 ausgebildet sind, die in dem gleichen Muster A, B wie die Näpfe 14 in der Folienbahn 6 angeordent sind. Bei dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Kleinteile über Vibrationsrinnen 2 und einer Rutsche 3 auf die mehrfach vorhandene Formatplatte 4 dosiert, die über Zangen 5 in Richtung 10 der Folienbahn 6 bewegt werden. Durch Rütteln bei diesem Transport werden die Kleinteile in die Aufnahmen 12 bewegt. Vor der Abholposition 7 neben der Folienbahn 6 wird der überflüssige Produktteppich abgestreift. Aus den Aufnahmen 12 werden die Kleinteile dann mittels einer Transfereinrichtung 8 entnommen und in die Näpfe 14 der Folienbahn 6 übergeben, wobei die Transfereinrichtung wiederum eine Mehrzahl von Saugern aufweist, die in demselben Muster angeordnet sind wie die Näpfe in der Folienbahn und die Aufnahmen in der Formatplatte.In the drawing, a device is shown, which is used for the orderly feeding and depositing small parts to be packed, such as tablets, dragees, pills or the like. In the arranged in a predetermined pattern A, B cups 14 a film web 6. This device comprises, on the one hand, a storage container 1, downstream of which in the feed direction at least one format plate 4, in which receptacles 12 are formed, which are arranged in the same pattern A, B as the cups 14 in the film web 6. In the embodiment shown in the drawing, the small parts on vibrating troughs 2 and a chute 3 on the multiply existing format plate 4 dosed, which are moved by means of pliers 5 in the direction 10 of the film web 6. By shaking during this transport, the small parts are moved into the receptacles 12. Before the pick-up position 7 next to the film web 6, the superfluous product carpet is stripped off. From the receptacles 12, the small parts are then removed by means of a transfer device 8 and transferred to the wells 14 of the film web 6, wherein the transfer device in turn has a plurality of suckers, which are arranged in the same pattern as the wells in the film web and the recordings in the format disk.

Damit eine Leistungssteigerung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erzielt wird, ist in der Formatplatte 4 das Muster A, B der Aufnahmen 12 mehrfach ausgebildet (Fig. 4) mit einem durch die Größe der Aufnahmen 12 bestimmten minimalen Versatz zweier benachbarter Muster A, B, die in der zu der Förderrichtung 11 der Folienbahn 6 senkrechten Richtung versetzt angeordnet sind. Um trotz der Mehrzahl der in einer Formatplatte 4 ausgebildeten Muster A, B von Aufnahmen 12 den Transfer aus den Aufnahmen 12 in die Näpfe 14 der Folienbahn 6 durch die Transfereinrichtung 8 problemlos ausführen zu können, erfolgt entweder ein inkrementales Verschieben der Formatplatte 4 um den Versatz oder ein Anpassen der Lage der Sauger in der Transfereinrichtung 8 durch das entsprechende inkrementalen Verschieben der Sauger bei der Positionierung der diese tragende Platte der Transfereinrichtung 8.In order to increase the performance of the device according to the invention, the pattern A, B of the receptacles 12 is repeatedly formed in the format plate 4 (FIG. 4) with a minimum offset of two adjacent patterns A, B determined by the size of the receptacles 12 are arranged offset to the conveying direction 11 of the film web 6 vertical direction. In order to be able to easily execute the transfer from the receptacles 12 into the cups 14 of the film web 6 by the transfer device 8 in spite of the majority of the patterns A, B of receptacles 12 formed in a format plate 4, either the incremental displacement of the format plate 4 takes place by the offset or adjusting the position of the suckers in the transfer device 8 by the corresponding incremental displacement of the suckers during the positioning of the carrying plate of the transfer device 8.

Der Darstellung der Formatplatte 4 ist zu entnehmen, dass das Muster A, B linearen Reihen angeordnete Aufnahmen 12 aufweist, wobei auf der Formatplatte 4 zwischen den Reihen Sortierhilfen 13 auf der Oberfläche ausgebildet sind, die durch im Querschnitt drei eckige Stege mit zu den Aufnahmen 12 weisenden Flanken gestaltet sind.The representation of the format plate 4 it can be seen that the pattern A, B linear rows arranged receptacles 12, wherein on the format plate 4 between the rows sorting aids 13 are formed on the surface, by three in cross-section triangular webs with the receptacles 12th facing flanks are designed.

Die Formatplatte 4 weiterhin ist mit einer die Reibung reduzierenden Beschichtung versehen, für die sich beispielsweise Teflon eignet. Die Formatplatte 4 selber kann aus Stahl oder zur Gewichsreduktion auch aus Aluminium gebildet sein.The format plate 4 is further provided with a friction reducing coating, for example, suitable for Teflon. The format plate 4 itself can be made of steel or for Gewichsreduktion also made of aluminum.

Bei einer kontinuierlich laufenden Folienbahn 6 können also mehrere Takte für die Transfereinrichtung 8 aus einer Formatplatte 4 bedient werden, so dass seltener deren Wechseln erforderlich ist und mehr Zeit für das Befüllen der weiteren Formatplatten 4 zur Verfügung steht.In a continuously running film web 6 so several clocks for the transfer device 8 can be operated from a format plate 4, so that their replacement is rarely required and more time for filling the other format plates 4 is available.
