Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging and grouping device for packaging units, in particular bags, cartons, trays, bags, meal trays, etc., and comprises at least one feed line, at least one grouping unit and at least one filling unit, wherein the grouping unit comprises a receiving element for forming of layers of packaging units, in which at least one side wall is formed by at least one band or band-like element and the receiving element is rotatably mounted for turning or relocating the inserted packaging units, wherein the side wall formed by the at least one band or band-like element and / / or formed side walls with respect to surface and / or position are variable.
  • the stamp already serves as a stop or alignment element during the stacking process, in that the stack of packaging units is positioned during the stacking process by means of the punch. Subsequently, the filled cardboard is again aligned with the opening up, removed and sealed.
  • Such a device greatly restricts the nature of possible packing patterns and can not reliably prevent slippage of individual packages, especially those which are at the top when the flaps are closed. Slippage would then possibly lead to an impermissible pressure of the ingredients and in the worst case to damage the packaging itself.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to provide a packaging and grouping device which enables the widest possible spectrum of packing patterns and minimizes the likelihood of damage.
  • the packaging and grouping device for any packaging units, in which case packaging units, in particular bags, trays, bags, shells, etc. are understood.
  • the packaging and grouping unit is also suitable for parallelepiped cartons.
  • the device comprises at least one feed line, at least one grouping unit and at least one filling unit.
  • the special feature is that the grouping unit comprises a receiving element for forming layers, wherein at least one side wall is formed by at least one band or band-like element.
  • the receiving element for turning or relocating the inserted packaging units is rotatably mounted, wherein the formed by the at least one band or band-like element side wall and / or side walls formed. Surface and / or position are variable. It is possible to turn the receiving unit after inserting a first number of packages to make another number of packages, e.g. transverse to the first, to arrange. In this case, the first number of packages and any further number with the identical feed element, e.g. a vacuum gripper, carried out, which inserts the packaging all lying substantially aligned from above into the receiving element.
  • the identical feed element e.g. a vacuum gripper
  • the particular advantage is that always a suitable lateral support of the already inserted packages is guaranteed and automatically when turning the required upper opening is generated without large area elements, such as flaps or columns must be moved and changed.
  • the basic structure of the receiving unit is in one embodiment a grid formed of bars or carriers, similar to a cage or a simple cell. Ie. Since, as a rule, the packages are offset only once against one another or are grouped twisted, an improved variant consists in that two directly adjoining side surfaces of the receiving element are designed as rigid walls, wall grids or the like.
  • the receiving element is variable in size at least in one direction.
  • a particular advantage is that the grouping is very loose and then the desired density or pressure can be adjusted without destabilizing the packing pattern.
  • the bands are stored or attached at least one end outside of the receiving unit. Ideally, both ends of the band or bands are stored. In this case, the bands on at least one end of the tape on a clamping device.
  • the belts are rollable or slidably mounted on storage rolls. This process is powered by a motor. By virtue of this arrangement, it is possible to accelerate the belt back and forth parallel to the rotational movement of the receiving element, thereby reducing the friction between the belt surface on one side and the receiving element and the inserted packages on the other side.
  • the closure band 15 runs on both sides of the main body 14 via tensioning and guiding elements 20, which comprise a stationary base roller 21 and a guide roller 23 mounted pivotably on a lever arm 22.
  • At least one tensioning and guiding element which comprises a stationary base roller and a guide roller pivotally mounted on a lever arm, by means of which the at least one belt or belt-like element is guided becomes.
  • This guide roller or guide roller can be driven by a motor so that it is displaceable transversely to the belt direction in at least one direction. In this way, it is possible to always close the receiving unit optimally and to prevent inserted packages fall out.
  • the grouping unit comprises a pusher which is mounted and driven so that they can perform movements in the axial direction and rotating about this, wherein the receiving unit or Parts of the receiving unit are attached to the head end of the feed device and can be rotated by it.
  • a frame may be attached to the head end of the feed device, on which the rods or carriers are fastened, which guide the bands.
  • the invention also encompasses a packaging and grouping method, in particular for non-cuboid packaging units, such as bags, cartons, trays, bags, meal trays, etc., in which the packaging and grouping apparatus according to one of the aforementioned embodiments is used becomes.
  • step d) can be provided in a variant that the receiving unit is rotated back to the starting position by the angle - ⁇ or rotated further in the direction of the first rotation, and then step e) is performed.
  • the at least one band is moved in the direction of rotation.
  • the belt should be driven at such a speed that no or only a minimal difference reference speed between the moving belt and with this in contact elements of the receiving unit is present.

  • the empty boxes 10 are brought via a conveyor belt 11 to a tilting device 12 and positioned relative to the receiving unit 6. In the example shown, the boxes 10 are transported over the conveyor belt 11 in an opened manner.
  • FIG. 2 shows the recording unit 6 according to the invention in five process steps I. -V. during the loading process.

  • the main body 14 is a vertical pipe rectangle, of which four corners each have a rod perpendicular in the direction of the opened carton.
  • This basic body or basic cage 14 has the advantage that in the thrust direction of the pusher 7 no barriers are present.
