Definitions

  • This invention refers to a packaging device and apparatus for wrapping an item, typically a food product, in a casing formed by a pair of half-shells made from sheeted material with a shape matching a respective portion of the surface of the item, and associated packaging process.
  • the two preformed half-shells are coupled one to the other around the item and connected together by means of an operation known as caulking which implies folding and/or upsetting flanges surrounding the mouth contour of each half-shell.
  • caulking which is used in mechanical technologies to indicate the operation of upsetting the edge of riveted sheets, is used in this description in a broad sense to indicate a deformation operation that folds and/or upsets the flange edges of each half-shell in such a way that such flange edges are connected to one another.
  • a packaging process and apparatus of the type mentioned above are described in DE 17 84 647 U .
  • GB 952 925 and DE 12 60 949 B describe a procedure and a caulking device in the framework of a process that uses two half-shells of sheet aluminium shaped as a mould for forming a hollow chocolate body; the caulking operation is carried out by arranging the items inserted one by one between the two sheet aluminium half-shells in a first press which, with the aid of a ring-type shaping element, provokes an initial folding of the flange edges in a direction orthogonal to the general plane of the flanges.
  • the items are then transferred to a second press, associated with which is a ring-type shaping element which, in turn, causes the flanges to curl.
  • FR 1 343 517 A describes a caulking process with the use of punching tools with radial horizontal movement and vertical movement.
  • One object of this invention is to supply a device that makes it possible to carry out the caulking operation simultaneously on a plurality of items.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a procedure and an apparatus that permit in-line packaging, operating continuously or step by step, thereby making it possible to package a plurality of items in half-shells of sheeted material with high productivity.
  • the apparatus according to the invention carries out the in-line packaging of a given item starting from an initial sheeted material drawing stage in order to obtain the half-shells that constitute the casing, and goes on to discharge the completely packaged item.
  • Fig. 1 shows a drawing stage for forming a first and second half-shell 2, 4 in a respective honeycomb mould 6 and 8.
  • the half-shells 2, 4 are obtained from a sheet of plastically deformable material. This is typically a sheet of aluminium, for example from 10 ⁇ m to 40 ⁇ m thick, and can optionally be coated on at least one face with a lacquer or other hot-melt or hot-bonding coating.
  • the moulds 6 and 8 have a shaped moulding cavity 9, 11 ( fig. 2 ) with a form that matches a respective portion of the external surface of the item to package.
  • the two half-shells made from sheeted material in which the item is packaged can in this way have forms that differ from one another, it being understood that in any case the mouth profile of the half-shells corresponds to the profile of the item's maximum longitudinal section.
  • the item to wrap can, for example, be a body of food material, chocolate for example, optionally hollow, such as a chocolate egg (which constitutes a typical example of a body with rotational symmetry) for example, or a body with a complex form, such as a body representing a toy, a character or an animal.
  • a body of food material chocolate for example, optionally hollow, such as a chocolate egg (which constitutes a typical example of a body with rotational symmetry) for example, or a body with a complex form, such as a body representing a toy, a character or an animal.
  • each mould is depicted in the attached drawings with a single seat for drawing the respective half-shell, in industrial practice each mould can comprise a plurality of seats, arranged in a matrix for example, in order to make it possible to draw a plurality of half-shells in a single stage.
  • a continuous band of sheeted material unwound from a reel is cut to obtain a sheet which is positioned on each mould; in the case in which each mould has a plurality of seats, after having positioned the sheet so that it covers the seats, a first cutting operation is generally carried out in order to subdivide the sheet into small individual sheets, each of which covers a respective seat.
  • the drawing operation is carried out in a way that is known per se, for example with the use of a plug 10 (or a plurality of plugs 10) with a form that is complementary to the surface of each mould seat or cavity.
  • the drawing operation is carried out without constraining, or by only constraining slightly, the peripheral edges of each sheet subjected to drawing.
  • the half-shells of sheeted material 2, 4 obtained in this way have a hollow surface portion 2a, 4a and a peripheral surface portion 2b, 4b surrounding the mouth contour of the hollow portion, the external profile of which corresponds to the perimeter of each sheet fed to the respective mould.
  • Figs. 2 and 3 illustrate stages (optional moreover) in which the drawn half-shells 2, 4 are transferred into auxiliary supports 12, 14, each having at least one respective seat 16, 18 for receiving and/or supporting the respective half-shell and a portion of general flat surface 20, 22, surrounding the mouth of the respective seat, suitable for supporting the peripheral portion 2b, 4b of the respective half-shell.
  • one of said supports has an annular slot or groove 24 surrounding the mouth profile of the seat 16, the function of which is illustrated below.
  • the stages in fig. 2 and fig. 3 are optional, as the drawing operation could be carried out in a mould with characteristics in conformity with the support 12.
  • the item P is then positioned in the half-shell 2, using means of transfer known per se, for example of the suction cup type, and the half-shell 4 is coupled to the half-shell 2 in a position superimposed on the surface portion of the item P which emerges from the seat 16; a configuration is obtained in which the two half-shells 2, 4 are arranged with their peripheral surface portions 2b, 4b that surround the mouth contours of the half-shells in a face-to-face and essentially coplanar relationship, as illustrated in fig. 6 .
  • the support 14 can be overturned 180° onto the support 12, as illustrated in fig. 5 ; for this purpose, the supports 12, 14 can be articulated with one another in book form; however this solution is purely exemplificative as it is intended that the configuration in fig. 6 can be obtained with other operating means which effect the transfer of the half-shells 4, optionally drawn in a separate line, onto the half-shells 2.
  • the procedure then envisages an operation for cutting the peripheral edges 2b, 4b of the half-shells for the purpose of obtaining, in each half-shell, a flange, indicated as a whole by 5, 7, which surrounds the mouth contour of the half-shells 2, 4, preferably at a uniform distance.
  • This cutting operation illustrated in figs. 7, 7a and 7b is preferably carried out by provoking, simultaneously with cutting, the folding of a portion 5a, 7a of the flanges 5, 7 distal from said item P in an angled position, preferably orthogonal, with respect to the plane on which the flange portions 5b, 7b, proximal to the item P, lie.
  • This operation can be carried out by means of a device of the type illustrated in fig. 7 which cooperates with the support 12, provided with the annular groove 24.
  • This cutting device comprises a vertically mobile support 26, with associated an annular cutting means or punch 28 and presser means 30, 32, preferably elastically constrained to the support 26, that surround the annular cutting means 28 internally and externally.
  • the cutting device is positioned by the presser means 30, 32 in contact with the peripheral portion 4b and with the cutting means 28 which is capable of penetrating the groove 24.
  • the cutting end 28a of the cutting means 28 is capable of penetrating the groove 24 at a slight radial distance from the radially internal wall 24a of the groove 24, this distance being dimensioned in such a way as to be able to receive the flange edges 7a and 5a.
  • the presser means 30 and 32 constrain the peripheral portions 2b and 4b of each half-shell and the descent of the cutting means inside the groove 24 provokes simultaneous folding downwards of the distal flange portions 5a and 7a ( figs. 7a and 7b ) at the same time as the cutting of said peripheral portions with a flange profile that conforms with the mouth contour of the half-shells.
  • the portions of scrap can be removed following cutting, for example by extraction in a later stage of the procedure.
  • the procedure then preferably envisages an operation for overturning the item P by 180° with the associated half-shells 2, 4, in such a way as to position the folded flange edges 5a, 7a upwards.
  • This operation can, for example, be carried out in accordance with the operating stages in figs. 8, 9, 10 and 11 that comprise the overturning of the support 14 onto the support 12 to obtain the configuration in fig. 9 , in which the two half-shells are constrained between the respective supports 12, 14, the overturning by 180° of the two associated supports 12, 14 ( fig. 10 ) and the subsequent opening of the top support 14 to obtain the configuration in fig. 11 .
  • the two half-shells 2 and 4 are not constrained to one another, so that it is necessary to carry out the caulking operation with folding and the possible upsetting of the folded flange edges.
  • this operation can be carried out by means of a caulking device, having the characteristics defined in the attached claims, described with reference to figs. 12 and 17 , which is set up to operate starting from an item wrapped by the two half shells in the configuration in fig. 11 .
  • Such a device which can constitute a station in a packaging apparatus that carries out one or more of the operations previously described in line, or which can constitute a standalone device to which the items with the associated half-shells 2, 4 can be fed, generally comprises means of support such as, for example, the support 12 in fig. 11 comprising at least one seat 16 suitable for supporting the item P inserted between the two half-shells of sheeted material, or a plurality of seats, each for a respective item; the means of support comprise a substantially flat surface 34 which surrounds the aforesaid seat 16 and which is suitable for supporting the flanges 5, 7 of the two half-shells arranged in a relationship of superimposition one on the other.
  • the support 12 in fig. 11 comprising at least one seat 16 suitable for supporting the item P inserted between the two half-shells of sheeted material, or a plurality of seats, each for a respective item
  • the means of support comprise a substantially flat surface 34 which surrounds the aforesaid seat 16 and which
  • the device comprises means of caulking arranged to cause the folding and/or upsetting of the flange portions 5a, 7a distal to the item P, starting from a configuration of said flanges in which their distal portions 5a and 7a are already folded in an angled position, generally virtually orthogonal to the surface 34 of the support.
  • the aforesaid caulking means comprise a caulking tool, indicated by 36, which can be a body in the shape of a plate with an opening 38 ( fig. 16 ) (or a plurality of openings, one for each item to caulk), having a perimeter profile 40 homologous and widened with respect to the perimeter profile defined by the ends of the flanges 5, 7.
  • the caulking tool 36 is capable of being positioned in contact with the surface 34 of the support 12, with the opening 38 in a position surrounding the distal flange portions 5a, 7a at a distance, namely in the configuration shown in fig. 17 , visible in which is the top half-shell 2, the perimeter profile defined by the distal portions 5a, 7a and the profile 40 of the opening 38 which is positioned at a virtually uniform distance from the flange edges.
  • the caulking tool is vertically mobile with respect to the means of support between a raised position and a lowered position, in which it is in contact with the surface 34.
  • the caulking tool 36 is also mobile on a horizontal plane.
  • Motor means 42 are arranged for operating the vertical and horizontal movements of the caulking tool.
  • the motor means 42 are arranged to bring consecutive or non-consecutive sections of the profile 40 of the opening 38 into contact with a homologous section of the profile defined by the previously folded distal flange portions 7a, 5a.
  • This operation can be carried out in the position in which the bottom end of the caulking tool is in contact with the surface 34 and is also useful for obtaining, where necessary, correct positioning of said distal flange portions 5a, 7a in a position orthogonal to the surface 34 ( fig. 12 ).
  • the caulking tool is then subject to a vertical movement for a distance d greater than the thickness of the two superimposed proximal flange portions 5b, 7b and such that the bottom end of the profile 40 of the opening 38 is still capable of interfering, following a horizontal displacement, with the top end of the distal flange portions 7a, 5a ( fig. 13 ).
  • the caulking tool 36 is subject to a horizontal movement of approach to the item P, in such a way as to cause further folding towards the inside of the distal flange portions 7a, 5a ( fig. 14 ), superimposed on the proximal portions 5b, 7b.
  • the caulking tool 36 is then subject to a vertical movement of approach towards the surface 34 of the support 12, to cause upsetting ( fig. 15 ).
  • the aforesaid operations are carried out for further consecutive or non-consecutive sections of the profile of the flanges.
  • the aforesaid operations are carried out for each of the sides that define the profile; it is intended however that carrying out the caulking operation along the whole flange profile does not constitute an essential and imperative aspect of the procedure as - in certain applications - it may be desirable to maintain an uncaulked portion of the flange profile, or keep a section of the flange profile in which the flanges are in a superimposed position and are not folded on themselves; this solution can, for example, be applied in the case in which the connection of one section of the flanges is made by applying an adhesive label.
  • the procedure according to the invention has the further advantage that it makes it possible to carry out the caulking operation only on one portion of the perimeter profile
  • the caulking tool can carry out the complete (or partial) caulking operation, being put in motion with a translational movement in two directions orthogonal to one another.
  • the caulking tool can be arranged for a rotary and eccentric movement on the horizontal plane, so as to bring consecutive or non-consecutive sections of the profile 40 of the opening 38 into contact once again with the flange edges and carry out the subsequent operations illustrated.
  • the caulking operation (if necessary) can be carried out at a later stage with an auxiliary tool 36b ( fig. 15 ), vertically mobile under the action of motor means 42a, and provided with an opening the internal profile of which substantially corresponds with the mouth profile of the two half-shells.
  • the aforesaid auxiliary tool 36b can be driven in a vertical movement until contact with flange edges folded on themselves, so as to effect upsetting along the entire contour of the flange edges in a single upsetting operation.
  • the caulking device is particularly simple and advantageous, as it makes it possible to operate on items with different forms, simply by changing the profile 40 of the opening or openings 38.
