Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for handling blanks of packaging material for cigarette packs, in particular of the type soft pack, wherein the blanks are held in a stack in a magazine and wherein the blanks are removed from the magazine and a packaging machine for cigarette packs, in particular a soft packer fed According to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 11. Methods and devices of the type mentioned are known in practice in various embodiments. Blanks eg for soft packs are kept ready and fed to a packaging machine. It is also known that the blanks are provided with a coding to attach, for example, the batch, the manufacturer or other information.
- the object of the invention is to further develop methods and devices of the type mentioned in the introduction, in particular with regard to a preferably advantageous integration of the coding in the production path of the packages and / or with regard to the most effective attachment of codes to different package surfaces.
- a method with the features of claim 1 is proposed. It is accordingly provided that the blanks are fed to a coding station for attaching a coding to the blanks and that the blanks are combined after coding to form a blank stream with overlapping of adjacent blanks and transferred to the packaging machine.
- This solution has the particular advantage that the coding of the blanks is outsourced from the packaging machine, but remains integrated into the production of the cigarette packs. For example, a current date of manufacture can be coded.
- the blanks after removal from the magazine are first transported in a blank stream with overlapping adjacent blanks and that the blanks of the blank stream are then separated and fed to the coding station.
- coding in particular can be integrated efficiently into existing handling methods.
- the blanks in the region of the coding station are at least partially unfolded to identify different areas of the blank, which are located after folding the blank to a cigarette pack on different side surfaces of the cigarette pack. In this way it is more or less possible, by means of a laser, to label several side surfaces of the cigarette pack in one step. There are then neither deflections of the laser required nor the installation of multiple lasers.
- Another special feature may be that the position of the blanks is checked in the supply to the coding, preferably by multiple light barriers in the conveying path of the blanks, and that malpositions of the blanks are compensated by appropriate control of the coding, in particular by appropriate control of the laser. In this way, it is not necessary in particular to deliver the blanks in a correct position. Possible misalignments and / or offsets can be detected and compensated by appropriate control of the laser. In this way, the number of defective produced blanks can be reduced.
- a plurality of magazines are combined to form a magazine carousel and that the blanks are fed from a plurality of magazine carousels, each with a separate conveyor to a buffer in front of the coding. In this way, the most complete possible promotion of the blanks can be ensured.
- the blanks after encoding with their longitudinal extent transversely to the conveying direction are transported and taken over by the packaging machine, in particular a soft packer, pointing with their longitudinal extent in the longitudinal direction.
- the handling of the blanks is particularly advantageously integrated into the production of the cigarette packs.
- An apparatus for solving the above-mentioned problem has the features of claim 11. Accordingly, it is an encoding station for coding the individual blanks and a subsequent grouping station for combining the blanks into a blank stream with overlapping of adjacent blanks and a conveying device for transferring the blanks to the packaging machine for cigarette packs.
- Preferred embodiments of the device relate to the structure of the coding station, the establishment of a buffer and other organs. Further advantageous details of the method and the device will become apparent from the dependent claims and the description otherwise.

- Fig. 8 is a side view of a part of the device according to arrow VIII in
- FIG. 10 is a detail of the illustration of FIG. 9 in the
- a cigarette pack 10 with a large-area front 12, an opposite corresponding back 13, narrow sides 14 connect the front 12 and rear 13 and a bottom wall 15 and opposite end wall 16. In the region of the end wall and the two adjacent side surfaces of the front 12 and the back 13 is shown in Fig.
- folding flaps of the blank 1 are folded like a cover.
- the blank 11 is wrapped around the package contents in such a way that folding flaps of the blank 1 1 overlap in the region of one of the two narrow sides 14 and are connected to one another.
- the blank 1 1 may have a decorative print 18, which is provided in the present case by way of example in the region of the front 12 and the back 13.
- a decorative print 18 is provided in the present case by way of example in the region of the front 12 and the back 13.
- this central printing 18, for example, with the corresponding cigarette brand, other decorative prints on the entire blank 11 may be provided.
- an imprint 18 a coupon or another corresponding print carrier can also be provided.
- the invention is particularly concerned with the attachment of codes 19, 20, for example in the form of bar codes as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the coding can also be achieved by other means, for example by numbers, letters, symbols or similar means.
- the codes 19, 20 are attached to two different side surfaces of the cigarette pack 10.
- attaching these codings 19, 20 in the area of a packaging machine 21 would be very complicated, since several lasers or similar coding devices would be required for each side surface of the cigarette pack 10.
- the laser could be redirected via mirrors or similar reflection devices become.
- both solutions are disadvantageous because in the area of the packaging machine 21 there is usually not enough space available to accommodate such facilities.
- the solution according to the invention provides for the coding of the cigarette packs 10 to be integrated into the area of the feed of the blanks 11 to the packaging machine 21.
- the blanks 11 can therefore be coded locally and in immediate temporal relation to the production of the cigarette packs 10. This avoids, in particular, a storage of already coded blanks 11. It also makes it possible to encode and to consume the cigarette pack 10 with price, place of manufacture and product identifications directly in the production of the cigarette packs 10, without the coding devices having to be integrated into the packaging machine 21.
- 3 and 4 show an example of a packaging machine 21 and a device for providing and coding the blanks 1 1, which is the packaging machine 21 upstream.
- the essential organs of the device are one or more magazines 22 for holding blanks 11, a coding station 23 for attaching the coding 19, 20 on the blanks 11 and various conveyors for connecting the magazines 22 to the coding station 23 and the packaging machine 21
- Organs are a buffer 24, a test station 25 and an ejector 26th
- the blanks 1 1 are held in upright magazines 22.
- Several magazines 22 are combined to form magazine carousels 27.
- Each magazine carousel 27 receives a plurality of magazines 22, which can be successively rotated by rotation of the magazine carousel 27 in a removal position.
- blanks 11 can be continuously removed from the magazines 22.
- two magazine carousels 27 are provided (FIG. 5) from which blanks 11 are taken in parallel. In this way, the seamless feeding of the blanks 11 can be further improved.
- the blanks 11 are removed as shown in FIG. 6 on the underside of a magazine 22.
- the blank 11 are spread so flat arranged one above the other to form a stack.
- the removal of the blanks 11 on the underside of the magazine 22 can take place in a manner known from the prior art by means of a removal roller 28, which passes through the blanks 1 1 to a subsequent conveyor 29 by rotation.
- the conveyor 29 is used to supply the blanks 11 to the buffer 24th
- the conveyor 29 is designed so that the blanks are conveyed under overlap in the transport direction.
- the blanks 11 are thus transported as maruppter blank stream.
- the blank stream is transported between two runs of endless conveyors 30, 31, which rest on the top and bottom sides of the blank stream.
- the endless conveyors 30, 31 are guided multiple times over pulleys 32 and thereby bent or angled along a conveying path.
- the discharge conveyor 33 takes over the two blank streams from the two conveyors 29, unites them and leads the Blanks in the buffer 24 a.
- the blanks 11 are again arranged as in the magazines 22 to a flat stack one above the other.
- magazine carousels 27 may be provided.
- the number of conveyors 29 can also vary.
- the conveyor 29 may also direct the blanks 11 or the blank stream directly into the buffer 24.
- a special removal member 34 is provided which detects the blanks 11 on the underside and at the edge and transfers them to a suction conveyor 35.
- the suction conveyor 35 extends in an upright or vertical direction.
- the suction conveyor 35 has two endless conveyors 36 whose conveying runs have recesses 37 in the manner of suction bores through which the blanks 11 lying on the suction conveyor 35 can be held with negative pressure by means of a vacuum device 38.
- the two endless conveyors 36 are arranged at a distance from one another and hold the blanks 11 at the edges in the region of opposite side edges.
- the blanks 1 1 separated by the removal element 34 from the buffer 24 are transferred to the suction conveyor 35 by means of conveying rollers 39, 40.
- the conveyor rollers 39, 40 detect the blanks 11 on both sides and transport them by opposing rotation on.
- a special feature consists in the fact that a rear conveyor roller 40 is formed from two conveyor roller sections, which end on both sides of the removal member 34, so that the removal member 34 can occur between the two conveyor roller sections.
- control devices in the form of light barriers 41 are provided in the region of the suction conveyor 35. With the help of the light barriers 41, the relative position and orientation of the blanks 1 1 is checked. This is done by scanning the edges of the blanks 11. The results of the measurement of the light barriers 41 are evaluated in a control unit, not shown, and used to control the coding station 23 as described below.
- the coding station 23 is arranged in the region of the upright suction conveyor 35, so that the blanks 11 resting against the endless conveyors 36 can be provided with the coding 19, 20.
- the blanks 11 are preferably passed completely along the suction conveyor 35 at the coding station 23. At least, however, the areas of the blank 11 to be coded should be unfolded in the plane of the suction conveyor 35.
- Part of the coding station 23 is a laser 42 which is suitable for writing an encoding on the packaging material of the blank 11.
- the blanks 1 1 are singulated, that is, transported at a distance successive each other.
- the coding of the blanks 1 1 can be carried out continuously or during a short standstill phase of the suction conveyor 35.
- the laser 42 can be controlled by means of the control device in such a way that an offset occurs or a misalignment is compensated.
- test station 25 is arranged in the region of the suction conveyor 35.
- the test station 25 records an image of the coded blanks 1 and compares it to a reference image.
- Other testing mechanisms known in the art may also be used.
- the degree of overlap s is over 50%, preferably 60%.
- a relatively large degree of overlap s is a sufficient even in the absence of a blank 11 in the blank stream Residual overlap or a corresponding residual overlap degree s * of about 20% is given.
- the discharge conveyor 44 transports the blanks 1 1 of the blank stream to the packaging machine 21.
- a pivotable rotary flap 46 is pivoted in the deflection region of the conveying path of the blanks 1 1 as shown in Fig. 10 to weed out a faulty blank 1 1.
- the faulty blank 11 enters the area of a transport shaft 47 which derives the faulty blanks 11 into a collecting container 48.
- the device is also suitable to process other blanks 1 1 in particular for other types of packages or bundles of packaging accordingly.
