Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mobile packaging machine for small individual objects, such as writing instruments, table cutlery, confectionery products or the like.
  • the packaging of small objects such as pens, plastic cutlery or objects of decoration or utilities, including elongated objects, in cellophane packaging for example, is usually done either manually or automatically by robotic facilities expensive and cumbersome complexes such as those described in particular in patents US 5,423,162 A , US 3,564,809 A , US 4,862,679 A and the European publication EP 0 055 133 A .
  • the market demand corresponds more to units of small size, mobile and flexible in terms of their use, which are easy to use and whose maintenance is simple and economical.
  • One of the applications is, for example, the placing in a cellophane wrapper of a set of plastic table cutlery for airplanes. It is advantageous to be able to place the machine near the site of use of packaged products, that is to say in the area of the airport where meals are prepared for departing planes.
  • Another application may be to package food portions, such as pastries or confectionery products, or promotional items.
  • the present invention proposes to overcome the disadvantages of the known systems and to respond to the new market demand by producing a packaging machine, in particular for the semi-automatic or automatic packaging of pens or other small objects, which may be installed in a small room and moved according to the needs of the user or intended applications.
  • the packaging machine as defined in the preamble and characterized in that it comprises a frame, integral with a mobile lift truck, extended by a supply arm of products to be packaged, on which is mounted a heating-drying unit, a packaging material supply device, a packaging and guiding device for products covered with packaging material, a packaging separation unit containing an object individually packaged and a discharge member of the packaged product to a storage bin.
  • the machine further comprises a control unit provided with a mobile control keyboard.
  • said supply arm of products to be packaged comprises a guide channel which constitutes a linear gutter in which the products respectively pushed by lugs integral with a conveyor belt circulate, these cleats exerting a thrust on the products for the products. bring to said packaging material.
  • said packaging material is stored as a continuous web on a rotating drum of the supply device and is unwound by passing on and between pairs of rollers before being conveyed by an element of guiding substantially inclined at 45 °, to the packaging and guiding device arranged to perform the folding and the longitudinal junction of the edges of the strip of packaging material.
  • the packaging and guiding device comprises two pairs of horizontal disks, respectively driven by toothed pinions, which ensure both the driving of the products and the joining of the longitudinal edges of the strip of folded packaging material covering the product.
  • These horizontal disks can be heating disks.
  • the separation unit is advantageously arranged to perform simultaneously a bonding by welding between the two juxtaposed packing material surfaces and a cross section in this connection to separate the packaged products from each other.
  • this separation unit preferably comprises two transverse heating elements, sliding, of inverted U-shaped cross-section, which cooperate to weld transversely the packaging material between each product that it contains, and a knife, vertically movable through an actuator, which slides in the upper heating element.
  • Said actuator of the knife may be a cylinder or a motor element.
  • the packaging machine 10 is disposed on the plate 110 of a forklift truck 100.
  • This representation illustrates both the small size and the mobility of the machine 10.
  • the forklift truck 100 can either move the machine 10 to the machine. bring to a site of use, either to support the machine during its use.
  • the function of this machine is to cover the object with a flexible packaging material, which may be paper or the like, a cellophane film or a strip of synthetic material such as for example a heat-shrinkable plastic material.
  • the machine 10 comprises a frame 11 extended by a supply arm 12 of products to be packaged, on which is mounted a heating-drying unit 13, a supply device 15 of packaging material 30, a packaging device and guiding 16 products covered with the packaging material, a separation unit 17 of the package containing an individual packaged product, and a storage bin 20 of the packaged product.
  • a control keyboard 19, or a touch screen, is connected by a movable arm to this control unit 14.
  • the packaging material 30, for example a cellophane web is stored as a continuous web on a rotating drum 151 of the supply device 15. It is unrolled and passed over and between pairs of rolls. drive 152 and 153 before being conveyed, via a guide member 154 having substantially a 45 ° inclination and disposed at the output of the feed arm 12, to the packaging and guiding device 16 .
  • the feed arm 12 illustrated in more detail by the figure 3 , on which are deposited the products to be packaged, is provided with a longitudinal guide channel 121 which constitutes a linear gutter in which the products circulate, respectively pushed by tabs 122 integral with a conveyor belt 123, these cleats exerting a thrust on the products to bring them to a sheet of packaging material.
  • the heating-drying unit 13 is arranged on the supply arm 12 above the longitudinal channel 121 and is used when the products to be packaged are provided with an inscription or a mark and that, therefore, they have been presented in advance to a pad printing machine (not shown), or by any other known ink printing machine, for affixing said registration or mark.
  • the purpose of this heating-drying unit 13 is to ensure the drying of the inscription affixed to the product by the pad printing machine.
  • this unit 13 advantageously contains at least one infrared radiation ramp 131 and / or the if necessary a fan or other means of drying. If no ink marking is performed beforehand, the drying operation becomes unnecessary.
  • the packaging and guiding device16 provides the folding and the longitudinal junction of the edges of the band of the packaging material 30 to produce a pouch in which the product is finally packaged.
  • this device 16 comprises two horizontal plates 161 and 162 separated by a slot 163 whose inlet 164, disposed on the arrival side of the packaging material 30, has a flared V shape arranged to allow the introduction of said packaging material, the product to be packaged brought by the supply arm 12 is covered, by folding under said product.
  • Two pairs of rotating horizontal disks 165 and 166 disposed under said trays 161 and 162, drive the product covered with said material along this slot while sealing, by heating or compression, the two longitudinal edges of the folded material under the trays 161 and 162 to form a tube in which the product is located.
  • These disks 165 and 166 are rotated respectively by toothed pinions 167 and 168 coupled to respective drive motors.
  • This unit 17 which closes the transverse edges of the package and separates the products, is of the guillotine type and comprises two transverse heating elements 171 and 172, of inverted U-shaped cross-section, which cooperate with each other. sliding along rods 173, for transversely welding the tube of packaging material between each product contained therein.
  • a knife 174 vertically movable through an actuator 175, which may be a cylinder or other motor element, slides in the upper heating element 171 and simultaneously separates the products in the middle of the weld.
  • the packaged and separated products are finally discharged into the storage tank 20 by an evacuation ramp 201.
  • the machine according to the invention as configured allows to be available and mobile in any environment for automatic or semi-automatic packaging of small objects, for example promotional items such as pens.
