Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for sealing a tearing film on a packaging element according to the preamble of claim 1, as well as a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 7.
  • packaging element is intended to denote both complete packages such as cups or the like and parts thereof.
  • the heating of the junction between the packaging element and the film has hitherto usually taken place with the aid of heaters, which are arranged in the stamping tool.
  • the heating temperature must be sufficiently high to ensure melting of the sealing layer of the film, but on the other hand damage due to overheating must be avoided.
  • This relates in particular to the film, which may be provided on its upper side with a coating, a print or the like.
  • the stamping tool is in the immediate vicinity of machine parts whose heating is undesirable, for.
  • punching tools for punching the film from a film web Their thermal expansion must be compensated by increasing the cutting clearance. This in turn restricts the choice of film material.
  • the occurring thermal expansion must be taken into account in the geometry of the packaging element to be sealed.
  • the packaging elements When using known sealing tools, the packaging elements must have a flat sealing surface, such as an inwardly facing edge, which is a slight Grettised in the way.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a sealing method for packaging elements of the type mentioned, which avoids the problems occurring during heating of the sealing point between the packaging element and film, in particular an undesirable heating of machine parts and limitations in the selection of the film material and the geometry of the packaging element. It also seeks to create new opportunities to reduce process costs.
  • a heating step takes place upstream, in which the packaging element is heated without contact to a temperature which is sufficient for the subsequent sealing.
  • On heaters in the stamping tool can therefore be completely eliminated.
  • the packaging element has already reached the required temperature in the sealing step, the contact times with the stamping tool can be decisive be reduced so that the process is accelerated overall. Heating and sealing are thus completely decoupled from one another in the method according to the invention.
  • a rapid merging of the packaging element with the film is achieved by a supply stroke of the stamping tool, through which the film is moved counter to the packaging element.
  • the device according to the invention for sealing a tearing film to a packaging element is characterized in that a non-contact heating device is arranged upstream of the stamping tool with respect to the conveying direction of the packaging element inside the sealing machine, so that the packaging element passes through the heating device and the sealing station one after the other.
  • the conveyor for transporting the packaging element comprises in addition to the feed device for transfer between the machine stations, a lifting device which lifts the Verpakkungselement in the sealing station.
  • the stamping tool can be lowered and moves the film against the packaging element. As a result, the packaging element is transported as quickly as possible in its sealed position, so that cooling on the way from the heater to the sealing position is largely prevented.
  • the in the Fig. 1 and 2 illustrated device 10 is used for sealing Aufr impartfolien on packaging elements 12, which are arranged in a conveyor belt 14 in the conveying direction A consecutively.
  • the conveyor belt 14 has for this purpose open pockets 15, in which the packaging elements 12 eino.
  • the packaging elements 12 here have an approximately annular-oval flat shape and have an opening 22. It is understood that this form can be chosen essentially freely and, for example, elliptical, circular or the like. can be.
  • After the sealing process they can be connected to another packaging part, such as a cup, for a complete packaging of goods, such as by crimping or the like.
  • a film web 18 is conveyed above the conveyor belt 14 in a film transport direction B, according to Fig. 2 perpendicular to the conveying direction A, but may also include a deviating angle with the conveying direction A.
  • Conveyor belt 14 and film web 18 intersect in a sealing station 20, in which film blanks 16 are punched out of the film web 18.
  • a foil blank 16 and a packaging element 12 are pressed against each other and undergo a cohesive connection with each other under the action of heat, so that the film 16 seals the opening 22 of the packaging element 12 tight.
  • This sealing step in which the film 16 and the packaging element 12 are connected together in the sealing station 20 and which in the following Fig. 3 to 6 is explained, is preceded by a heating step, in which the packaging element 12 is heated without contact at least to a temperature which is sufficient to provide the cohesive connection and thus enables the thermal sealing.
  • This heating step takes place in a heating device 24, which is arranged upstream of the sealing station 20 with respect to the conveying direction A of the packaging elements 12 and is passed through by the conveyor belt 14.
  • the heater 24 may include, for example, an induction heater that generates a magnetic field passing through a metallic packaging element 12 becomes. In this case, flows within the packaging element 12, an electric current which heats the material of the element.
  • the amount of heat that is supplied to the packaging element 12 in this case is to be dimensioned such that in the subsequent sealing step in the sealing station 20 at the intended connection point between the packaging element 12 and the film 16, a sufficient temperature prevails. It can also be provided a control device which controls the amount of heat supplied by the heater 24 such that a predetermined temperature range is maintained at the connection point.
  • the temperature to which the packaging element 12 is brought in this case is higher than a minimum temperature required for sealing, since the packaging element 12 can cool down slightly on the way from the heating device 24 into the sealing station 20.
  • the heater 24 may be arranged above and / or below the conveyor belt 14. It is also possible to use a plurality of heating devices 24, which are arranged successively in the conveying direction A of the packaging elements 12. For contactless heating is not only an induction heating into consideration, but also the action of heat radiation or ultrasound, for their generation, the heater 24 may be provided.
  • the sealing station 20 comprises a lifting device 26, which serves to lift a single packaging element 12 out of its pocket 15 in the conveyor belt 14 in a sealing stroke and to press against a stamping tool 28 arranged above it, which carries the punched-out film 16 on its underside.
  • the lifting device 26 is formed in the embodiment shown by a punch-shaped lower tool 30 which is raised vertically in the direction of the conveyor belt 14 and lowered into a position in which its upper punch surface is below the conveyor belt 14. This means that the conveyor belt 14 in the lower position of the lower tool 30, the sealing station 20 can pass freely.
  • the Fig. 1 and 2 further show a station 32 located upstream of the sealing station 20, which serves to relocate a side flap 34 of the film 16 to the film surface after sealing, to apply embossing, imprinting or the like to the film 16, or the like.
  • this station 32 is not essential.
  • a cutting punch 38 is shown, which has at its periphery a downwardly facing cutting edge 40 which surrounds the punch tool 28 at its edges laterally.
  • the cutting punch 38 is on the one hand together with the punch tool 28 movable up and down, but also relative to the punch tool 28 regardless of this up and down movable.
  • Cutting punch 38 and punch tool 28 are located at the beginning of the sealing step in Fig. 3 at the top dead center of its stroke above an opening 44 in the cutting ring 36, which is arranged with respect to the movement of the punch tool 28 and the cutting punch 38 fixed in the sealing station 20 in a frame. Between the top 46 of the cutting ring 36 and the bottom of the punch tool 28 and the cutting edge 40 of the cutting punch 38 remains a gap 48 which is traversed by the film web 18. If the punch tool 28 and the cutting punch 38 sink together, a foil 16 is punched out of the foil web 18, as in FIG Fig. 4 is visible.
  • the film 16 may be coated on its underside with a fusible material which forms a material connection with the Verpakkungselement 12 above a certain temperature, so that the inner edge of the packaging element 12 is completely sealed by the film 16.
  • the packaging element 12 may be coated with the fusible sealing material.
  • the packaging element 12 has been brought to the required temperature by the heating device 24, as already described above. It is also possible that the film material itself is meltable. Because when reaching the sealing position in Fig. 5 the required temperature has already been reached, the contact time between the lower tool 30 and the punch tool 28 can be kept small, so that the cycle times of the device are shortened overall. It is not necessary, the joint between the packaging element 12 and the film 16 during sealing in the in the Fig. 3 to 6 to heat shown movement, as is the case in the prior art. Therefore, can be dispensed with heaters in the punch tool 28.
  • the packaging element 12 engages from the starting position Fig. 3 up to the sealing position in Fig. 5 a shorter path back than in devices in which the pressing of the packaging element 12 takes place on the film 16 only by a sealing stroke of the packaging element 12, while the punch tool 28 has no own drive.
  • the film 16 and the packaging element 12 are simultaneously moved toward each other, so that the shortest possible paths of punch tool 28 and lower tool 30 are covered.
  • the associated temporally shortened movement sequence for joining the packaging element 12 and the film 16 within the sealing station 20 enables a corresponding shortening of the cycle times of the device.
  • stamping tool 28 does not have to be provided with a heating device, it can in principle be designed freely and, for example, be made of any dimensionally stable and temperature-resistant material. It may be advantageous to provide the stamping tool 28 on its underside facing the film 16 with a contact element made of an elastic material which is intended to bear on the film 16. For example, may be provided on the outer edge 42 of the die surface of the punch tool 28, an O-ring made of a non-metallic material such as rubber or plastic, which in the sealing position in Fig. 5 elastically the film 16 is pressed onto the packaging element 12. Stamping tool 28 and lower tool 30 may also be designed so that their heating during the sealing process is compensated such that the temperature required for the sealing or a corresponding temperature range can be maintained.
  • the punch tool 28 and the cutting punch 38 are raised again, so that the position is off again Fig. 3 is reached. Further, the lower tool 30 from the position in Fig. 5 lowered again, so that the packaging element 12 rests again in the pocket 5 of the conveyor belt 14 and is supported by this. The film web 18 is transported further in its transport direction B, so that a new web area is available for punching out a film 16.
  • the packaging element 12 merely consists of an oval-annular edge region of the packaging, which is connected in a subsequent method step by crimping or the like to a container.
  • the pockets 15 of the conveyor belt 14 complete packages eino whose upper edges are formed similar to the packaging element 12 shown here and which are intended to be sealed with the film 16.
