Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for erecting a carton according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a device for erecting carton is, for example, with the subject of DD 280 731 A1 known.
  • this known device is a device which operates with a magazine for receiving a horizontal stack for prefabricated carton blanks, a singulator and pneumatic suction pads which guide the carton blanks and hold during unfolding.
  • a device for unfolding, filling and closing of cartons is shown.
  • a cardboard is separated from a stack by means of a suction plate, unfolded and then placed on a conveyor belt. After the carton is unfolded, it can only be moved with a conveyor belt device - stacking and palletizing is not possible hereby.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing such a carton erecting unit so that it can be used universally at significantly lower cost and lower operating costs.
  • the invention is characterized in that the Kartonaufrichtvortechnisch is arranged on a fork or Palettiergreifer.
  • suction or fork grippers are commonly used for palletizing of cartons. This is understood to mean the packing of boxes and the grasping and depositing of such boxes on pallets.
  • suction or Pallettiergreifer corresponding forks with forks, which are suitable for reaching under the carton and moreover it is known to provide suction devices which are adapted to hold the under attack with the forks cardboard, to transport him.
  • the second suction device arranged perpendicular to the first-mentioned suction device is used to grip and squeeze the side wall of the carton so as to fix the carton and in this fixed position move against a stop wall so that it straightens at right angles.
  • the core of the invention is therefore based on the arrangement of two mutually perpendicular suction devices, wherein the one suction device, which operates in the vertical direction, is now used for raising and lowering the carton, while the perpendicular thereto working suction device is attached to a fork gripper, so the whole erection mechanics of the Cartons is realized by the already existing devices on a fork gripper.
  • the fork gripper is used for a dual purpose, because by the arrangement of two suction devices arranged perpendicular to each other, it is used for erecting a carton, on the other hand it serves as a palletizing gripper to take full - and possibly filled - cartons to stack and implement.
  • high manufacturing maintenance and maintenance costs are saved in a surprising manner, because according to the invention, there is no need for a separate, separately operated carton erecting device after it has been integrated in the fork or palletizing gripper.
  • the fork gripper is thus used in other applications for gripping cartons and for palletizing, but here in the present case when erecting a carton does not matter.
  • the essence of the invention lies in the fact that one uses such a fork gripper for palletizing and that he has as a double benefit in addition a Tarrichtmechanik consisting of the aforementioned two mutually perpendicular suction devices.
  • a conventional fork gripper has the carton to the fork, which he inserts under the box and holding from above with a hold-down.
  • suction gripper has two different, independently operated functions, namely once the function as a carton erector and second, the normal function as a fork gripper with which it is possible to palletize, transport or otherwise move or cartons to change.
  • the invention of the present patent is thus that a conventional palletizing gripper, which is designed as a fork gripper and already has such suction devices, which at right angles to each other are arranged, used as Aufrichtvorraum, which was not yet known. It is therefore a new application of a fork gripper whose suction devices are now used for erecting cartons.
  • the basic construction is thus the movable suction device for cartons, which is able to move in a vertical travel axis.
  • this includes a vertical rear wall, which forms a horizontal stop surface.
  • a further suction device which is arranged perpendicular to the above-mentioned vertically movable suction device.
  • suction devices can be designed as assemblies of a fork gripper.
  • the arrangement described serves as a hold-down in the fork gripper and the vertically upright wall with the suction device is the product protection on the rear wall.
  • a cardboard is now erected with these two at an angle of 90 ° suction devices, which was not yet known.
  • suction devices with the vertical stop wall in a fork gripper
  • FIG. 1 In general, a fork gripper 1 is shown, which is also referred to as a palletizing gripper. According to the invention, this conventional fork gripper 1 operates as a carton erector, as will be described below.
  • the fork gripper 1 after FIG. 1 consists essentially of a carriage 2, which is arranged displaceably and adjustably on a base frame 4 in the horizontal arrow directions 5.
  • a fork 3 is arranged with a plurality of parallel and a mutual distance engaging fork tines.
  • a hold-down 7 is further arranged, which is adjustable and adjustable in the direction of arrows 8 in the vertical direction.
  • drive cylinders 12 are provided, which are arranged on the base frame 4.
  • the hold-down 7 is connected to a suction device 10 which operates in the vertical direction and which is fixedly connected to the hold-down 7, which in turn is slidably and adjustably mounted on a base frame 4 in the horizontal arrow directions 9.
  • a suction device 10 which operates in the vertical direction and which is fixedly connected to the hold-down 7, which in turn is slidably and adjustably mounted on a base frame 4 in the horizontal arrow directions 9.
  • a fixed stop wall 6 is arranged on the base frame 4, in the lower region of a further suction device 11 is arranged, which operates in the horizontal direction.
  • the fork gripper 1 forms two mutually perpendicular suction devices 10, 11, wherein at least the upper suction device 10 in the vertical direction of arrow 8 and in the horizontal direction of arrow 9 is designed to be displaceable and adjustable.
  • FIG. 3 now shows an application of a fork gripper 1 as Kartonaufrichtvoriques, including a supply table 13 is used with a table top on which a stack of cardboard 14, consisting of individual folding blanks 15 is arranged. Opposite and parallel to the fixed stop wall 6 of the fork gripper 1 a Trorichtwand 16 is mounted on the supply table 13, which is also aligned in the vertical direction.
  • the hold-down device 7 then moves downwards in the vertical direction of the arrow 8, so that the vertically displaceable suction device 10 comes into suction engagement with the uppermost folding blank 15a - see Fig. 4 ,
  • the folding blank 15a Upon further passage in the direction of arrow 5 to the right, thus, the entire vertical wall of the folding blank 15a is aligned with the erecting wall 16, so that the folding blank according to Fig. 7 gets its final rectangular shape, wherein it is important that the opposite end wall 17a is now held by the horizontally operating suction device 11.
  • the folding blank 15a has a stable position so that it can be further processed.
  • FIG. 8 the folding blank 15, which is now fixed in the fork gripper 1, is fed to a closing unit 18, as shown in FIG FIG. 8 is shown.
  • an obliquely extending guide 22 is formed as a sheet metal blank, which points in a lower folding plate 21 and arranged there on an inclined plane.
  • the lower folding plate 21 is attached to a vertical guide rail 23, and in the region of the guide rail 23, an adhesive unit 24 is arranged, which consists of an adhesive tape 25 which is wound on a roll 26 and which is glued to the cardboard via an application roller 27, wherein for further processing, a knife 28 and a pressure roller 29 are present.
  • FIG. 9 It can be seen that there are two angled guide 22, pointing in the direction of a horizontal folding plate 33 of the lower folding plate 21.
  • the upper horizontal tab 31 a is first moved under the upper folding plate 19, which is still raised in the direction of arrow 20.
  • This lower folding plate 19 is then moved in the direction of arrow 32 down so that it penetrates into the interior of the unfolded tabs and this closes the right stop edge of the upper folding plate 19, the upper horizontal tab 31 a in the position shown in dashed lines FIG. 11 ,
  • FIG. 12 Now moves the entire fork gripper 1 in the direction of arrow 8 down, causing the captured cardboard in the area of the lower folding plate 21 passes. In this way, the lower horizontal tab 31 b folded by the corresponding Abweiskanten and at the same time now the vertical tabs 30 are shaped accordingly, as indicated by dotted lines in FIG. 12 is shown.
  • the carton is now completely closed with its 4 tabs and by moving the fork gripper 1 further down in the direction of arrow 8, the now completely closed tabs reach the area of the gluing unit 24, where the fork gripper 1 now moves downwards along this gluing unit in the direction of the arrow 8 and the adhesive tape 25 now passes over the entire gap that results between the vertical tabs 30, so as to apply the adhesive tape over the entire length of the gap between the vertical tabs 30.
  • the horizontal tabs 31a, 31b are located behind the vertical tab 30 with respect to the adhesive tape 25, so that it is sufficient to close the gap between the two vertical tabs 30 to prevent the carton, i. the folding blank 15a, completely close.
