Definitions

  • the invention relates to a workstation according to the preamble of claim 1 and to a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 12.
  • a chamber belt machine in which a lid is designed to be vertically liftable and is designed to be pivotable in its upper position, so that good accessibility for an operator for maintenance or cleaning is possible.
  • thermoforming packaging machines which include work stations such as a forming station and a sealing station each including a tool top pivotally mounted about a horizontal axis on one side of the tool top. This makes it possible to pivot the upper part of the tool as far as possible in order to clean the underside or to carry out maintenance or replacement of inserts on the underside of the upper part of the tool.
  • a disadvantage of the prior art is the lack of opportunity to bring in the pivoted state, the tool shell in a, for example, the film plane parallel position and, if necessary, perform a simple change of the upper tool.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a workstation and a packaging machine in which the disadvantages described above can be eliminated.
  • the work station according to the invention for a packaging machine preferably for a thermoforming packaging machine, has a main body of the workstation and a tool which, via at least one pivot arm relative to the base body to a first pivot axis is pivotable, wherein the tool is pivotable relative to the pivot arm about a second pivot axis.
  • Media connections for electrical, compressed air, vacuum and / or cooling water can be made pluggable or have sufficient cable length to allow the rotation of the tool.
  • the tool is preferably locked by means of a locking member releasably on the pivot arm to be selectively coupled to the pivotal movement of the pivot arm about the first pivot axis. This gives the possibility to raise the tool in a secured position.
  • the locking member is provided as a set screw or spring-loaded locking pin.
  • the locking member in at least one predetermined pivot position of the tool relative to the pivot arm in a recess, e.g. a bore or an internal thread, engage to lock the tool in the pivot position. This is useful so that the tool can be safely returned to the working position during pivoting back.
  • the second pivot axis of the work station according to the invention is preferably defined by a pivot pin which is received in a slot on the pivot axis.
  • the tool is preferably detachable from the swivel arm or from two swivel arms. This allows easy replacement of a tool by, for example, the tool is attached to a lifting device and the tool while lifted and simultaneously lifted out of the slot of the pivot arms. In the reverse manner, the new tool can be lifted by means of the gift pins back into the slots.
  • a gate is provided, in which a slider is movable and which is curved about the second pivot axis.
  • the slider is expediently removable from the backdrop to release the tool from the pivot arm to perform a tool change as described above can.
  • the slider is part of a provided on the pivot arm screw.
  • the pivotal movement of the tool about the second pivot axis is limited by the interaction between the screw and the gate.
  • the workstation provides a mechanism for a manual operation or a motor drive for driving the pivoting movement of the pivot arm about the first pivot axis.
  • gas springs or pneumatic cylinders may be provided on one or both sides of the pivot arms to counteract the weight of the tool so far that the adjusting forces on the pivot axis are correspondingly low and thus a mechanism is designed as a transmission so that by means of a crank, the tool manually can be swiveled in a few turns. It is also possible to make the transmission and the translation therein so that there is a self-locking.
  • gas springs When using gas springs, they can be mounted so that in the end of the pivotal movement upwards, the gas spring forces the tool upwards and in the end of the closing movement, the gas spring presses the tool in the working position.
  • the tool preferably includes a frame and one or more inserts received in the frame. If the workstation is designed as a forming station, the inserts can be designed as one or more heating plates. If the workstation is used as a sealing station, the inserts are executable as sealing glasses or sealing plate.
  • thermoforming packaging machine particularly advantageous is the use of the workstation according to the invention in a packaging machine, in particular a thermoforming packaging machine.
  • thermoforming packaging machine 1 with a forming station 2 and a sealing station 3 is shown as a workstation.
  • the forming station 2 has a tool upper part 4 as a tool and the sealing station 3 a sealing tool upper part 5.
  • a receptacle for a film 6 and the formed in the forming station 2 in the film 6 wells 7 can be seen.
  • products 9 to be packaged are made available for takeover by a robot 10 and inserted into the troughs 7 in the loading area 11.
  • the film 6 with the inserted products 9 and a cover film 12 are preferably welded together under a modified atmosphere and formed a package.
  • the film 6 is moved intermittently in the transport direction R.
  • FIG. 2 shows a mold upper part 4 of a workstation 2, 3 according to the invention with a base body 13 and two pivot arms 14, which is pivotable about a first pivot axis 15 which is aligned parallel to the transport direction R. That ⁇ s how it is a first pivot axis 15 perpendicular to the transport direction and approximately parallel to the film plane conceivable.
  • an axle extension 17 and a worm gear 18 can be moved from the operator side of the deep draw packaging machine 1, the pivot arm 14 about the pivot axis 15 with a few turns to come into a position in FIG. 3 is shown.
  • FIG. 3 a second pivot axis 19, a locking member 20, a pivot pin 21 and a frame 22 are shown.
  • FIG. 4 a position of the tool 4 is shown, in which the tool 4 is pivoted about the second pivot axis 19, brought into a vertical position.
  • the locking member 20 is previously solved so far, so that the tool 4 is decoupled from the pivot arm 14.
  • a slider 23 slides in a gate 24 provided on the outside of the frame 22 of the tool 4.
  • the slider 23 is a front end of a screw which is screwed into the pivot arm 14 and preferably has a bolt-like end which dips into the slot 24.
  • the bolt-like end of the slider 23 limits the maximum rotation, which is approximately 45 ° in the variant shown.
  • the rotation can be made up to 180 ° by the gate 24, which is curved around the second pivot axis 19, further formed and allows a larger area for limiting the pivoting movement. In this position of the tool 4, for example, the cleaning or maintenance of a hot plate 25, which is received in the frame 22, easily accessible to the operator and very well visible.
  • FIG. 5 is the tool 4 in a raised by pivoting the pivot arms 14, shown approximately parallel to the film transport plane position.
  • the heating plate 25 are released from the frame 22 and are deposited on a not shown under the tool 4 storage device and replaced by another.
  • a lifting device can be hooked by means of several chains to the eyelets 26 of the tool 4 and slide out by lifting the tool 4 from the slot 27 and replaced by a new tool.
  • FIG. 6 is a detailed view of the gate 24 and the pivot pin 21 is shown.
  • the pivot pin has a central portion in the form of a cylinder which supports the tool 4, 5 in the slot 27. At the outer free end of the outer diameter is larger in order to ensure lateral guidance relative to the pivot arm 14.
  • the pivot pin 21 may be directly connected to the tool 4, 5 or attached to a one-piece molding 28.
  • the link 23 and the pivot pin 21 are a part of the one-piece molding 28 which is fixed to the frame 22 of the tool 4 by means of four screws 29.
  • the recess 30 for the locking member 20 may be designed as a backdrop or by a plurality of individual recesses in the form of a blind bore with or without internal thread.
  • the scenes 24, 30 and the pivot pin 21 may also be attached directly to the frame 22 of the tool 4.
