Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding device for folding up a flap of an outer packaging for articles according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • a plurality of identical products are often combined and packaged in a carton, placed on a tray-like device, or the like.
  • prefabricated carton blanks are used accordingly.
  • the products are, for example, assembled in the desired manner, positioned on the cardboard blanks and then the carton blanks are folded around the products and fastened by, for example, gluing overlapping cardboard pieces together or the like.
  • US 3,555,776 a machine for forming a tray around a group of articles. This has leading folding fingers for folding up the front cardboard tab and subsequent folding fingers for folding up the rear cardboard tab, which are arranged on a revolving conveyor chain.
  • bottles are assembled by means of devices described above in cartons or on tray-like devices.
  • problems may arise if, for example due to missing or faulty carton blanks, etc. fall over individual bottles and thus transported individually on the conveyor belt.
  • the folding fingers are passed from below through the conveying surface and disappear after the folding process again below the conveying surface. Individual overturned bottles may jam between the folding finger and the conveyor chain where the folding finger is located, causing massive damage to the machine.
  • FIGS. 1 to 3 A known from the prior art folding device with folding finger 1 and the problem described is in the FIGS. 1 to 3 clarified.
  • the folding finger 1 and a coupling device 2 (see FIG. Fig. 1 ) and fixed exclusively to one of the two chains 3, 3 *.
  • the movement of the second conveyor chain 3 * may be independent of the movement of the first conveyor chain 3. In particular, it is not connected to the coupling mechanism of the first conveyor chain 3.
  • the flat boxes (so-called pads) or flat boxes with a peripheral edge (so-called trays) are arranged, on which in turn are the bottles 20.
  • the clear width W between the chains 3 running side by side may be smaller than the largest diameter D of the bottles 20 transported on the carton, so that a bottle 20 falling down from the carton and onto the pair of chains 3, 3 * partially and / or or can partially remain between the two chains 3, 3 * ( Fig. 2 ). This bottle 20 is then transported to the end of the folding and gluing path 3, 3 *.
  • the folding finger 1 pivots forward ( Figure 3 ).
  • the folding finger 1 pushes on the bottle 20.
  • the bottle 20 is pressed in this situation against adjacent components of the folding device (discharge transition) and blocks the movement of the finger. 1 and thus also the movement of the chains 3, 3 *.
  • the object of the invention is to prevent jamming of fallen articles in particular bottles and the resulting consequential damage.
  • the invention relates to a folding device for producing an outer packaging for articles, in particular for producing a cardboard outer packaging to a collection of containers, bottles o.ä.
  • a folding device comprises at least one conveyor chain, preferably at least one conveying chain pair for transporting the outer packaging, for example a carton blank or the like. and the grouped article arranged thereon.
  • the folding device further comprises at least one front and one rear folding fingers.
  • a folding finger is guided via a coupling device, for example a coupling rod, through at least one of the conveyor chains of a conveyor chain pair.
  • the coupling means causes the folding finger to be held in the desired (vertical) orientation between the beginning and the end of the folding and gluing process.
  • the coupling rod of the front Faltfingers lies (facing away from the outer packaging) in front of the front Faltfinger.
  • the coupling rod of the rear folding finger is located (away from the outer packaging) behind the rear folding finger, so that the coupling rods never collide with the outer packaging to be folded.
  • the coupling device is designed in such a way that it projects at least partially out of the conveying plane on the side of the folding finger opposite the pack to be folded.
  • the coupling device is enlarged towards the finger upwards.
  • a deflector forms, which, for example, can be designed as a run-on slope, which engages under the articles lying on the conveyor chains and lifts them.
  • the run-on slope for forward travel on the coupling rod of the front folding finger and the starting ramp for reverse travel is attached to the coupling rod of the rear folding finger.
  • the deflector or the run-up bevel is preferably designed so that not only bottles, containers or other items are included, but all kinds of objects, foreign bodies, cardboard residues, etc.
  • This may, for example, also be data carriers o. The like., Which added to a package should be and due a fault were separated from the packaging.
  • the deflector provides for lifting above the conveying plane.
  • the run-up slope forms an acute angle with the conveying plane.
  • the individual items such as overturned bottles, at least partially raised and can roll away to the side.
  • the path for the folding finger is then free of obstacles.
  • the folding finger used may itself have the run-on slope or be designed as a deflector.
  • the advantages according to the invention in particular a prevention of pinching of fallen articles or bottles or other objects or foreign bodies, are also achieved.
  • a run-on slope which forms an acute angle to the conveying plane, can be fastened independently on the revolving finger chain.
  • the folding device with run-on slope can be used in all outer packaging folding machines, especially carton-folding machines, with folding fingers, which are driven by coupling rod.
  • This also includes coupling mechanisms with their coupling rods are not attached to the at least one finger bearing chain, but are guided, for example, through scenes.
  • the folding device is attached to a revolving conveyor chain.
  • a stationary component for example a guide element, for example a base plate or a railing guide, etc., is provided, on which the outer packaging slides along.
  • FIG. 4 shows a folding device 10 according to the invention for use in a carton folding device (not shown), in particular for folding up the seen in the direction of transport TR front cardboard tab of a carton outer packaging, a so-called tray or the like.
  • the folding device 10 consists of a folding finger 11, which is arranged on a coupling device 12.
  • the coupling device 12 is also called coupling rod 13 and drives the folding finger 11 at.
  • According to the coupling device 12 is increased upward and in the transport direction TR of the chain 3. This forms a run-on slope A, or a wedge.
  • This run-on slope A engages under the on the conveyor chains 3, 3 * lying bottle 20 (not shown, see. Figures 5 and 6 ) and raises these.
  • FIG. 5 represents the lifting of a lying between the conveyor chains 3, 3 * bottle 20 by the present invention contoured coupling device 12 and FIG. 6 shows the situation at the end of the conveyor chain 3, 3 *, when the folding finger 11 dives again below the conveyor chains 3, 3 *.
  • the bottle 20 is located only to a small part between the two chains 3, 3 * and at the end of the chains 3, 3 * laterally roll down from the chain pair 3, 3 *. Should the bottle 20 not roll down, then it can not be pressed by the folding finger 11 from top to bottom against adjacent components at the outlet transition, because the bottle 20 is raised higher than the finger 11 goes up. A squeezing situation as in the known state of the art (cf. Figure 1 to 3 ) is excluded.
