Definitions
- the invention relates to a device and a method for aligning packaging according to the preamble of the independent claims.
- a device for filling, evacuating and sealing of packages is already known.
- An additional conveyor system includes evacuation chambers and a folder and sealing station. The packaging containers are introduced into the evacuation chambers without prefolding their head region, so that the full packing cross-section is available there for evacuation.
- the device comprises at least one gripping device, wherein means for generating a predetermined breaking point on the container are provided. After generating the predetermined breaking point, the gripping device grips a gripping surface bounded by the predetermined breaking point for removing the covering film from the container.
- a device and a method for removing a sterile article from a sterile packaging are known.
- a clamping device clamps a first portion of the sterile packaging.
- a cutter creates a slot in the sterile package while a picker removes the item through the slot from the sterile package.
- the invention has for its object to align a packaging surrounding a container in a simple manner so that the package can be easily opened. This object is solved by the features of the independent claims.
- the device according to the invention and the method for aligning packaging according to the features of the independent claims have the advantage that a folded-in packaging flap is aligned in a simple manner for the purpose of later automatic opening of the packaging.
- a folding or aligning by hand can be omitted. This is made possible by placing a package surrounding a container in a vacuum chamber. Subsequently, the vacuum chamber is evacuated. This creates a vacuum around the package such that the gas in the package expands and a folded flap of the package unfolds to align the package.
- At least one fixing means is provided, which holds the aligned packaging in the desired position.
- the fixing means comprises at least one clamping plate, preferably at least two clamping plates. This can be a retreat of the generally rectangular packaging on the later réellebeden side over the entire length away avoided.
- the elements of the fixing means such as the clamping plates or rollers are movable relative to each other. This facilitates targeted fixing and tightening after the packaging has been aligned.
- the gas in the packaging is also evacuated. There- through the inflated packaging is flattened again, but without giving up the desired position of the unfolded packaging again.
- ventilation and / or disinfection of the vacuum chamber is provided. This ventilation of the vacuum chamber can preferably be done via filtered air.
- a nebulizer can be used to introduce a disinfectant into the ventilation duct.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device for aligning packaging as well
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the device with still further components.
- An apparatus 8 for aligning packages 10 comprises several components.
- a feeder 20 transports a container 12 surrounded by the package 10.
- the upper side of the container 12 is in turn closed by a cover film 14.
- containers to be filled such as vials or pre-sterilized syringes, can be arranged, which are delivered in the container 12, for example for filling with pharmaceuticals.
- the packaging 10 has at least one folded-in region, such as, for example, a flap corner 16, which - as shown by way of example in FIG. 1 - is folded in such a way that a rectangular outer contour is formed.
- the feeder 20 conveys the container 12 surrounded by the package 10 into a vacuum chamber 32.
- the vacuum chamber 32 has a slidable inlet 28 which is open to supply the container 12 to the interior of the vacuum chamber 32.
- the vacuum chamber 32 is bounded by an outlet 30, which can also be opened, so that the container 12 with then aligned packaging 10 can leave the interior of the vacuum chamber 32.
- a vacuum port 24 is provided to apply a vacuum in the interior of the vacuum chamber 32.
- a ventilation connection 26 is arranged at the top of the vacuum chamber 32.
- at least one fixing means 22 is provided inside the vacuum chamber 32. Its outer edges preferably run parallel to the transport direction of the container 12.
- the fixing means 22 preferably consists of two clamping plates, which can be moved up and down perpendicular to the transport direction. These are to serve to keep an aligned package 10 in the aligned state.
- the fixing means 22 is also outside the vacuum chamber 32, to leave the package 10 in the aligned state outside the vacuum chamber 32.
- Inside the vacuum chamber 32 is a decoupled from the supply 20 transport means which emits the container 12 located inside the vacuum chamber 32 via the open outlet 30 to a discharge 21, which takes over the further transport of the container 12.
- the feed 20 can again be taken out, which transports the container 12 provided with the packaging 10 with the tab 16 folded into the interior of the vacuum chamber 32.
- a vacuum pump 34 is provided with valve 35 and corresponding control 36, wherein a vacuum recipient 37 receives the gas evacuated from the vacuum chamber 32, such as air.
- the package 10 is aligned by transferring the folded flap corner 16 into an aligned flap corner 18 by applying a vacuum.
- the thus-oriented package 10 is held by the fixing means 22 in this position and supplied from the interior of the vacuum chamber 32 by means of transport means 23 and discharge 21 of an optional bag opening device 40. This opens the package 10 at the aligned packaging side, for example, by laterally cutting the package 10th
- the described device 8 for aligning packages 10 operates as follows.
- the container 12 is brought into the interior of the vacuum chamber 32 with the surrounding, not yet aligned package 10.
- the vacuum chamber 32 is then evacuated by means of the vacuum pump 34 and the vacuum receiver 37.
- the vacuum pump 34 is connected to the vacuum chamber 32 via a vacuum, not shown, via the vacuum connection 24.
- the gas in the package 10 is in a vacuum environment after evacuation. As a result, the gas expands in the package 10 and puffs it up.
- the flap 16 folded in towards the center of the container thereby moves away from the center of the container and projects outwards.
- the package 10 is aligned, that is, the outer contours of the package 10 are in a state that allows an almost maximum volume of the package 10.
- the side edges of the package 10 are now as far away as possible from the container 10, which facilitates opening the package 10 without damaging the container 12.
- the thus aligned package 10 with aligned tab 18 is prevented from retracting out of alignment via the fixation means 22. Because especially when venting the vacuum chamber 32 would otherwise move back the outer edge of the package 10 in the direction of the container 12.
- fixing means 22 one or more clamping plates could be used, which are formed movable up and down. In any case, the position and geometry of the fixing means 22 are chosen such that they securely mechanically clamp or grasp and tighten at least one side region or one side edge of the aligned packaging 10. Another realization of the fixing means 22 would be possible, for example in the form of gripper, air intake or the like. In any event, some force must be exerted on the package 10 to prevent it from retracting and to tighten the package 10.
- the tightening of the tab 16 or the packaging could also be done via driven rollers in the clamping plate (as an example of a fixing agent 22).
- the package 10 is often at least partially made of a gas, but not water-permeable fabric that acts as a filter, preferably as a sterile filter.
- a nonwoven is suitable.
- the package 10 is not sealed airtight, so that the package 10 could be evacuated, but this should be done as little as possible.
- a short, jerky vacuum is particularly preferably applied in the vacuum chamber 32 for a period of about 1-2 s.
- the sealing seams of the package 10 are to be designed so that they withstand this pressure surge.
- the vacuum chamber 32 is vented again. Air is supplied via the ventilation connection 26, which may have been previously filtered.
- a disinfectant which is not specifically shown, could also be used to introduce a disinfectant into the ventilation line, which is connected to the ventilation connection 26. However, a disinfection could also take place in a separate from the vacuum chamber 32 disinfection chamber.
- the fixing means 22 open a gap and release the unfolded flap 18 and thus the entire aligned package 10 for further transport out of the vacuum chamber 32. After venting the vacuum chamber 32, inlet 28 and outlet 30 open. The aligned package 10 is removed from the vacuum chamber 32 by the transport means 22 and the discharge 21.
- Fixing means 22 are also arranged outside the vacuum chamber 32, which prevent the folded tab corner 18 from folding in again.
- one or two sheets whose side edges are aligned parallel to the transport direction can be provided. This will ensure that the oriented package 10 remains in this condition until it is opened.
- 40 more stations can be run through before reaching the packaging opening device.
- the package 10 could be disinfected in a separate disinfection chamber and then dried again in a drying section.
- fixing means 22 ensure that the package 10 remains in the aligned state.
- the aligned packages 10 are now fed, for example, to a package opening device 40.
- the unfolded flap corner 18 or the aligned package 10 is cut open, so that the container 12 of the package 10 can be removed.
- the cover film 14 is removed, so that the containers located in the container 12 such as vials, syringe containers or the like can be removed and fed to further processing.
- These containers can be filled, for example, in a filling and closing device with pharmaceuticals.
- These containers, such as disposable syringes are delivered pre-sterilized in the container 12 (box, tub) packed in a package 10.
- the packages 10 can be supplied in a predefined and for opening the package 10 convenient location of the packaging opening device 40. This eliminates the need for manual alignment, so that the package 10 can be opened without manual preparation.
