Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for packaging articles into boxes.
  • the present invention concerns a machine, in which articles of various types, generally bottles, are introduced into boxes, usually obtained from tubular blanks.
  • the article is conveyed by suitable supports, called “godets” in the art, to be carried toward the station, in which the articles are placed in the boxes. Afterwards, the emptied godets must return to the machine for producing the articles to be packaged.
  • the products are often supplied using a part of line, for example going out of the articles producing machine, arranged aligned longitudinally with the packaging machine.
  • the point in which the articles reach the packaging machine is often situated on the machine side, according to a direction transversal with respect to the machine extension.
  • the same problem occurs downstream of the machine, for the removal of the articles already inserted into the boxes.
  • the apparatuses working downstream of the machine are often arranged in line, i.e. aligned with the packaging machine. However, it often happens that it is necessary to pick up the filled boxes along a direction transversal to the machine.
  • the machine is oriented transversal with respect to the production line
  • the products outlet line could be oriented at 90 degrees.
  • the proposed machine must have the possibility to be connected to a working unit, for example for packaging purpose, arranged downstream and oriented both in line and perpendicular to the same machine.
  • the machine M shown in Figs. 1A , 1B , 1C and 1D , is commonly called “vertical”, with this term actually referring to the direction, in which the articles are placed in the boxes.
  • This constructive configuration of the machine is used preferably when the articles to be packaged have such a shape that allows them to be stable only in vertical position, which is a frequent need in the perfumery and cosmetics field, in general.
  • the blanks are placed in the magazine 60 side by side and lying on one of their folded edges, that is with the lateral flaps and the closing wings turned toward the opposite sides of the magazine.
  • a withdrawing device 3 for example similar to the one described in the Italian Patent Application No. BO2006A000123 , filed by the same Applicant, described in the following only schematically, includes a roto-translating arm 30, that withdraws one blank at a time from the magazine 60, maintaining it in horizontal and then rotating it to arrange it in vertical, that is with the lateral flaps and the closing wings turned upwards and downwards.
  • Erecting means 4 provided with suction cups, receive the blank and erect it obtaining each time a box 2, while the loading means 40 receive the boxes 2, already formed by the erecting means and introduce them into the seats of a conveying line 1.
  • the conveying line 1 includes a series of withdrawing modules 10, associated to a motion group 20 and aimed at determining their forward movement along a loop path P, including an upper active run RA and a lower backward run RR.
  • the terminal part of the active run RA is situated in correspondence to a discharge station SS, from which an outlet line LU originates, along which the completed boxes leave the machine.
  • the sheet of ribbed material is suitably shaped, so as to obtain a support or a protection for the article, that is to be introduced into the box 2. Consequently, also the shaped sheet of ribbed material is introduced into the box by suitable means 75, here not described and not shown in detail, but only schematically, since not relevant for the invention.
  • the station for placing the sheet of ribbed material there is a station for placing the articles SC, where terminates a feeding line LC of the articles to be packaged.
  • the feeding line of the articles LC includes a section 78, extending longitudinally along the side of the packaging machine.
  • the section 78 is formed by two runs 78A and 78B, that can be oriented together in the same direction or separately in different directions.
  • the terminal part of the feeding line LC extends horizontally, like a close loop 79, thus allowing the return, to the production line, of possible not picked up articles, that are subsequently collected by known systems, or of godets, emptied of the respective article by the pick-and-place means, in case such supports are used.
  • the two runs 78A and 78B of the access section 78 are connected to the terminal close loop section 79 during the construction of the machine and the two runs 78A and 78B are oriented, together or separately, according to the specific collocation that the machine will have to assume in the environment, in which it will work.
  • the orientation of the runs 78A and 78B depends on the machine arrangement with respect to a working unit, situated upstream, with respect to which the machine can be aligned or perpendicular.
  • the articles feeding line LC presents to the machine head aligned with its longitudinal extension, allowing the coupling with a unit that supplies the articles, aligned with the same machine.
  • Figs. 1B and 1D show also a transversal orientation of the runs 78A and 78B of the access section 78, that allows the coupling with a production unit, arranged at 90° with respect to the machine.
  • closing means 36 that close the lower and upper wings of the box 2, which have been open up to this moment, while the blank has moved, translating on the closed lower flaps and lying on the conveying belt 141.
  • the conveying belt 141 is connected to the same motion mechanism of the conveying line 1, so as to be operated with the same forward movement speed.
  • extracting means 50 that include a pusher 51, operated in a direction transversal to the conveying line 1, move the boxes 2, with the articles and already closed, on an outlet line LU, formed by a conveying belt, arranged at right angle with respect to the conveying line 1.
  • outlet line LU there is also an additional line LA, which can be arranged aligned or at right angle with respect to the outlet line LU. This allows the filled boxes to leave in alignment with respect to the longitudinal extension of the machine M.
  • the boxes 2 are moved stepwise along the conveying line 1 and reach the pick-and-place picking up and collocation means 80.
  • the articles are picked up by the pick-and-place means 80 and placed into the boxes during the dwelling on the conveying line 1.
  • the backward run of the articles feeding line LC is not used and can be omitted.
  • the heads of the box 2 are closed, thus practically completing the pack.
  • the pusher 51 is operated to push the box on the outlet line LU, oriented perpendicular with respect to the active run RA.
  • the box goes out in a direction transversal to the machine longitudinal extension, so as to be transferred to another machine, to be subjected to further finishing operations or to be packed and then sent.
  • the additional outlet section LA is arranged at right angle with respect to the outlet line LU, it is possible to deliver the boxes to another machine or subsequent working unit in a longitudinal direction with respect to the machine extension.
  • the versatility and easiness of coupling with other machines or working units are further increased by predisposition of the articles feeding line, that extends longitudinally or perpendicular to the machine rear side.
  • a machine is delivered already provided with the means that allow it to be coupled with other working units of the production line, without further interventions, both in line and at right angle.
  • Figs. 2A and 2B the machine is supplied with the run 78A of the line LC, arranged longitudinally to the machine side and respectively with the discharge of the boxes filled in line or at right angle.
  • the arrows indicate the movement direction of the articles and the moving away direction of the filled boxes.
  • the backward run 78B of the line LC is not provided, as not used.
  • Fig. 2A the machine M is oriented aligned with the production working unit, situated upstream, as well as with the working unit, situated downstream (both not shown).
  • Fig. 2B the machine is aligned with the production working unit situated upstream and is perpendicular to the direction, in which the boxes are sent to the working unit, situated downstream.
  • the machine is oriented perpendicular to the production working unit, situated upstream, and aligned with the working unit situated downstream.
  • Figs. 2G, 2H, 2I and 2J also the backward run 78B of the feeding line LC is added, for example because the godets are used for conveying the articles and the configurations of the previous figures are reproduced.
  • This preventive preparation of the articles feeding line and of the boxes outlet line allows elimination of time necessary for the preparation of the joining sections, when it is not possible to arrange the machine as it would be required.
