Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for storing and / or shaping substantially parallelepiped-shaped packs, in particular packs of cigarettes which are interconnected by adhesive bonding, with at least one dry roler comprising at least two concentrically arranged rows of receptacles or pockets for each pack, namely, a radially inner pocket rim and a radially outer pocket rim, which are arranged concentrically to one another, wherein the packs in the axial direction in the at least one axial side open pockets insertable and after a partial revolution of the dry turret are pushed out of this, the packs the dry turret by a Transfer turret as a cyclically rotatable conveyor with multiple receptacles for each pack can be fed, the recordings for each pack are arranged individually adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction.
  • Cigarette packs in particular of the folding box type, are designed such that folding flaps which at least partially overlap one another are adhesively bonded to one another.
  • the residence time of the packages in the packaging machine is not sufficient due to the short cycle times to complete the setting process of the glue joints.
  • the packages are therefore not dimensionally stable after leaving the packaging machine because of the still unfinished glue joints.
  • the invention has for its object to further develop a device of the aforementioned type to the effect that in single-lane feeding of packages a powerful operation of the dry turret is ensured.
  • Transfer turret and dry turret are in the (cyclic) rotational movement coordinated so that each working cycle two (free) pockets of the dry turret in aligned relative position opposite two images of the transfer turret.
  • the drive of the dry turret can be controlled so that each operating cycle a switching step is carried out - corresponding to the distance of two consecutive pockets.
  • An innovative feature, however, is that the dry turret performs several, in particular two sub-steps during a work cycle to move the (next) pockets in the receiving position.
  • the partial steps are preferably half of a full rotation step of the dry turret.
  • the finished molded and cured in terms of glue compounds packages are ejected in pairs from the associated, adjacent pockets and transported away in succession, in a single row of packages.
  • the illustrated device is concerned with the treatment or after-treatment of substantially cuboidal packs 10, in particular cigarette packs.
  • This after-treatment is particularly important for packages of the folding box type with a plurality of folding flaps interconnected by glue.
  • the central organ of the device is an assembly for temporarily receiving packages 10 during the curing of glue compounds while stabilizing the (cuboid) contour of the package 10.
  • This organ is presently designed as a dry turret 11 with a plurality of the size and size of the packs 10th tailored cavities, namely pockets 12, 13.
  • a plurality of the pockets 12, 13 is arranged along the outer periphery of the dry turret 11 in (two) rows or flanges 14 and 15.
  • the pocket rings 14, 15 are formed as parallel rows, wherein the pockets 13 of the inner pocket rim 15 have smaller distances from each other than the pockets 12 of the outer pocket ring 14.
  • the number of pockets 12, 13 per pocket ring 14, 15 is consistent.
  • the rectangular in cross-section pockets 12, 13 are arranged within a pocket rim 14 or 15 at a very acute angle to each other, so not aligned with the larger side surfaces parallel.
  • the packs 10 coming from a packaging machine (or other processing unit) are transported individually or in a single row along a pack web 17.
  • the cuboidal packs 10 are arranged with their longitudinal extent in the conveying direction.
  • the packs 10 are removed one by one from the packing web 17 and fed to the drying turret 11.
  • a rotatable in a transverse plane transfer turret 18 is arranged in the transfer station 23 - above the packing web 17 - .
  • This is in particular designed so that a plurality of holding members or receptacles 19 is arranged for each pack 10 along the circumference.
  • the receptacles 19 are provided, for example, with a circumferentially facing, flat bottom plate 20 and with lateral, movable retaining webs 21.
  • the receptacles 19 are opened, by sideways moving retaining webs 21, so that from below a pack 10 can be inserted through a pack lifter 24 in the receptacle 19. This is then closed and the relevant pack 10 further transported, in the present direction in the direction of rotation of the arrow 22.
  • the pack 10 is oriented with the longitudinal extent in the axial direction of the transfer turret 18.
  • the transfer revolver 18 which is rotatably mounted in upright position and cyclically driven, transports the pack 10 to the loading station 16.
  • the transfer turret 18 is equipped with a plurality of receptacles 19 which adjoin one another without gaps and produce a polygonal contour of the transfer turret 18 through the flat bottom plates 20.
  • neighboring Receivers 19 are aligned at an obtuse angle to each other. A corresponding relative position results for the adjacent packages 10.
  • the two pockets 12, 13 are each assigned a slide 25, 26, which preferably simultaneously detects the two packs 12, 13 in the receptacles 19 and pushes them out until the end position in the pockets 12, 13 of the dry turret 11 promotes ( Fig. 7 ).
  • the dry turret 11 is cyclically driven in rotation. After loading the two adjacent pockets 12, 13 of the drying turret 11 is indexed. At the same time, namely due to a coordinated drive, the transfer turret 18 is moved further until the following two packs 10 with the relevant receptacles 19 reach the region of the following, associated pockets 12, 13. In principle, therefore, the drying turret 11 is further rotated by one clock, while at the same time the transfer turret 18 performs two movement or switching steps.
  • a Ausschubstation 27 Immediately adjacent to the loading station 16 is a Ausschubstation 27, in which during the stoppage phase of the drying turret 11, two packs 10 from pockets 12, 13 are pushed out in the axial direction and preferably individually, transported one after the other.
  • two ejectors 28 are arranged, which are each aligned with a pocket 12, 13 of the pocket rings 14, 15 and actuated so that during the stoppage phase for inserting packages 10 at the same time two packs 10 from pockets 12, 13 of the drying turret 11 are pushed out.
  • the two ejectors 28 are mounted in a corresponding relative position on a preferably common actuating arm 29.
  • the ejection station 27 is located in the direction of rotation of the dry turret 11 (arrow 30) immediately before the loading station 16, such that up to this three switching steps of the drying turret 11 are required, so two empty stations for the pockets 12, 13 are traversed.
  • the ejection station 21 is designed so that the two simultaneously ejected packs 10 are transported one after the other to form a series of successive individual packs.
  • To the Ausschubstation 27 includes a discharge conveyor 31, which transports the packs 10 at a distance from each other.
  • An upper flange and a lower flange are provided with corresponding drivers, which each detect a pack 10 on the back.
  • the packs 10 are transported in a position in which narrow side surfaces are directed upwards and downwards in the case of transverse alignment of the packs 10.
  • the packages 10 emerging from the pockets 12, 13 are deposited on a support or on a (stationary) guide 32, which consists of an underpass 33 and an upper guide 34. At least the underpass 33 is arcuate to adapt to the relative position of the pockets 12, 13 and the emerging from these packs 10.
  • the guide 32 is disposed transversely to the drying turret 11 and to the pocket wreaths 14, 15 and serves for successive removal of the two Packs 10.
  • a transfer member inserts the packages 10 in succession into the area of the discharge conveyor 31.
  • the transfer member is formed as a stamper 35 with approximately radially or at an angle to the radial directional Mit psychologyarmen 36.
  • the stamper 35 is arranged in the relative position so that when a package 10 out of a pocket 12 of the radially outer pocket ring 14 this pack 10th directly from one available Mit psychologyarm 36 detected and carried away.
  • the package in question 10 is passed to the discharge conveyor 31 after a short rotation or conveying path, namely introduced into the region between the two straps of the same.
  • the interacting in the Ausschubstation 27 organs and guides are divided so that no collisions occur during the movements.
  • the stamper 35 consists of two spaced apart Radstegen 37. These each collectively a pack 10. Furthermore, there is also the discharge conveyor 31 of two spaced-apart individual belts 38th
  • the guide 32 is formed accordingly.
  • the underpass 33 consists of two guide webs 39 arranged at a distance from one another, on which end face and bottom end regions of the large-area package side rest.
  • the guide 32 is provided with a lateral guide or side wall 40, which at the same time acts as a stop or support during the ejection of the two packs 10 out of the pockets 12. 13.
  • the side wall 40 causes an exact alignment of the packs 10 on the process of Abfördems.
  • the lower guide webs 39 have at their ends legs 41, 42, which also serve as stops for the exact positioning of the packs 10 in the transfer to the stamper 35.
  • the stems wheel 35 facing leg 41 has the task to align the pack 10.
  • the guide webs 39 are arranged at such a distance from each other that the star wheel 35 between these organs is movable, namely rotatable and the respective pack 10 lifts as a result of the rotational movement of the guide webs 39.
  • the package 10 of the outer pocket ring 14 is lifted immediately after the ejection by the stamper 35 of the guide 32 and the discharge conveyor 31 passed.
  • the radially inner pack 10 from the pockets 13 of the pocket ring 15 is from the Ausschubritt on the guide 32nd moved into the region of the outer pocket rim 14 and in a take-up position for the Stemrad 35.
  • the radially inner pack 10 is detected by a transverse conveyor and slidably moved on the underpass 33 along in the transfer position.
  • the cross conveyor consists of a driver head 43 which is attached to an actuating lever 44. This is driven by a shaft 45 in the sense of a reciprocating pivoting movement.
  • the driver head 43 is provided with projections which detect the package 10 without changing the relative position on opposite sides.
  • the driver head 43 is formed substantially fork-shaped with spaced support legs 46. Their distance is dimensioned so that the star wheel 35 between the support legs 26 is movable.
  • At the free end of each support leg an upright projection 47 is arranged, which supports the facing (longitudinal) side of the pack 10.
  • corresponding rear projections 48 are arranged on the driver head 43, which engage the package 10 on a rear (side) surface in the direction of movement.
  • An innovative feature of the device is the coordination of the movements of the dry turret 11 and the transfer turret 18, regardless of the design of the aforementioned organs.
  • the transfer turret 18 performs individual movement steps 49 in the direction of rotation, which are determined by the (center) distance of the adjacent receptacles 19. With each movement step 49, a receptacle 19 is moved into the (downwardly directed) transfer position for a pack 10. In order to provide two packs 10 which can be simultaneously transferred to the drying turret 11, two successive movement steps 49 of the transfer turret 18 are required.
  • the drying turret 11 is adapted to move in a rotational step in each case two free pockets 12, 13 in the receiving position for the packs 10.
  • the present feature is that the dry turret 11 performs the same number of rotation steps to move the two associated pockets 12, 13 in the receiving position.
  • the drying turret 11 therefore performs two partial steps 50 in the direction of rotation in order to effect a total rotation corresponding to the (center) distance of the circumferentially successive pockets 12, 13.
  • the drive of the dry turret 11 and the transfer turret 18 agree with respect to the movement or switching steps per power stroke.
  • Each sub-step 50 of the dry turret 11 corresponds to half the distance between successive pockets 12, 13 in the circumferential direction of the dry turret 11.
  • two movement steps 49 of the transfer turret 18 and two sub-steps 50 of the dry turret 11 are carried out to two packages 10 on the one hand and two pockets 12, 13th to move to the loading station 16.
  • Fig. 8 schematically shows an advantageous embodiment of a transmission for the rotary drive of the transfer turret 18 and the dry turret 11. It is envisaged that both organs are driven by a common shaft, a central shaft 51.
  • the central shaft runs with continuous rotation. With dotted lines partial circles of gear or gears are shown.
  • the drive of the central shaft 51 is on the one hand via gears 52 and 53 to generate a gear stage on the dry turret 11 and a gear 54 thereof, such that the switching steps and the movement steps, in particular in the embodiment as substeps 50, are generated.
  • the drive of the central shaft 51 is transmitted to gears 55 and 56 which are associated with the transfer turret 18 (gear 56).
  • the rotational movement of the central shaft 51 is transmitted from a gear 57 to a clock, which converts the continuous movement in clocked movements.
  • One of the central shaft 51 via the gear 57 driven gear 58 are associated with this rotating cams 59, 60. These are therefore also continuously rotating driven.
  • the cams 59, 60 is a roller star 61 downstream, which is acted upon by the two cams 59, 60 at each revolution. The interaction of the cams 59, 60 with the roller star 61 leads to a cyclic rotational movement of a transmission wheel 62 on the axis of the roller star 61.
  • Dry turret 11 and transfer turret 18 are geared together via gears in a fixed ratio.
  • the organs are followed by a clock drive, wherein the translation between drying turret 11 and transfer turret 18 is selected so that the number of movement steps and the number of rows of packages or packing wreaths in the dry turret 11 and accordingly the number of each cycle out of the dry turret 11 simultaneously ejected packages 10 corresponds.
