Definitions

  • the invention relates to a complete cutting station according to the preamble of claim 1, and to a method for separating packages which have been produced in a common film composite.
  • thermoforming packaging machines in which packaging is produced from or with a plastic film, for example in thermoforming packaging machines or traysealers.
  • packaging is often produced in a multi-lane and multi-row, ie. In a work cycle, both consecutively, as well as side by side, several packages are produced simultaneously.
  • These packagings are connected together in a foil composite, since at least one foil extends continuously over all the packagings and connects these packagings to one another.
  • thermoforming packaging machines this is the bottom film in which packaging trays are deep-drawn.
  • the packages are contiguous by means of a top or lidding film which is simultaneously sealed onto a plurality of packaging trays or trays.
  • a longitudinal cutting device and a cross-cutting device are provided.
  • the cross sections are usually placed between adjacent rows of packages, i. the film composite is severed between adjacent rows.
  • the longitudinal cutting device a separation of the packaging of the respective tracks.
  • packages are cut or punched out of the film composite in a single operation. This is done by means of a complete cutting tool.
  • the problem with the use of a complete cutting tool may be that the packages may lose their orientation after being singulated, for example when falling down onto a discharge belt. This can complicate subsequent work steps on the packaging.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the separation of packages from a common film composite with structurally simple means in terms of easier subsequent handling of the packaging.
  • the complete cutting station has a transport system in which a plurality of transport elements are provided, each with a head section for engaging a packaging.
  • the head portions of at least one, but possibly also all transport elements are movable between a first position in which they have detected packages defined by the composite film first distance from each other, and a second position in which the packages have a second, smaller distance have each other.
  • This second, smaller distance may even be a "negative distance", i. that the packages at least partially overlap in at least one spatial direction.
  • the complete cutting station according to the invention offers various advantages with regard to the handling of the packages.
  • the transport system already ensures that the packaging does not lose its position and orientation when singulated. Because during the separation, the packages can be held by the head sections of the transport elements and fixed in their position.
  • the transport system allows a transfer of the individual packages from the complete cutting tool, for example, to a subsequent packing station, in which a group of packages is placed in a common outer packaging.
  • the transport system makes it possible, by means of the transport system, to reduce the distance between the packages after the packages have been separated, or even to create an overlap between the packages.
  • the transport elements are translationally movable and / or pivotable in order to reduce the distance between adjacent packages. Both variants are structurally comparatively simple and allow a secure, precise positioning of the packaging while reducing the mutual distance.
  • the transport elements are movable between a retracted and an extended position. This enables them to transport packages caught by the head sections of the transport elements out of the complete cutting tool.
  • the movement between a retracted and an extended position can either be independent of the distance between the packaging reducing movement of the transport elements, or the movement between the retracted and the extended position of the transport elements can be superimposed or take place simultaneously with the distance between adjacent reducing movement.
  • the complete cutting station can be made particularly compact.
  • the complete cutting tool can be arranged above the film composite during operation of the complete cutting station. This has the advantage that the space below the isolated packaging remains free, so in particular is not occupied by a complete cutting tool.
  • outer packaging or a discharge belt could be placed directly under the packaging to be separated, which further facilitates the handling of the packaging.
  • the complete cutting tool preferably has a bridge connecting several cutting edges of the tool. Each cut edge can be used for singling or punching be provided a single package.
  • the connection of the cut edges over a bridge increases the stability of the cut edges and thus ensures an even more precise, simultaneous separation of several packages.
  • bridges offer the possibility of pivotally and / or translationally to store the transport elements of the transport system on them. For example, this could be done by means of pivot bearings or rails.
  • the transport elements are suction grippers and the head sections are suction heads of these suction grippers.
  • a vacuum pump can be used to apply vacuum to the suction cups in order to be able to fix packages there.
  • the invention moreover relates to a packaging machine with a complete cutting station of the type described above.
  • the packaging machine may in particular be a thermoforming packaging machine or a tray sealing machine.
  • the invention also relates to a method for separating packages which have been produced in a common film composite.
  • the still in the film composite contiguous packaging are taken by means of a head portion of a transport element, the packages are separated by means of the composite film severing complete cutting tool, and then the respective packaging grabbing a head portions of the transport elements are moved so that the distance between adjacent packages is reduced and / or that adjacent packages at least partially overlap.
  • the transport elements can pivot and / or translate to reduce the distances between adjacent packages.
  • a particularly simple fixing and loosening of the packages can be made possible by gripping the packages by suction on the head sections of the transport elements.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic view of a packaging machine 1 according to the invention in the form of a thermoforming packaging machine.
  • This thermoforming packaging machine 1 has a forming station 2, a sealing station 3 and a complete cutting station 4 according to the invention, which are arranged in this working order in a working direction R on a machine frame 6.
  • a feed roller 7 On the input side is located on the machine frame 6, a feed roller 7, from which a film 8 is withdrawn.
  • a material reservoir 9 is provided, from which a cover film 10 is drawn off.
  • the packaging machine 1 to a feed device, not shown, which engages the film 8 and this transported per main working cycle in the direction R further.
  • the feed device may be, for example, by transport chains arranged on both sides of the film 8.
  • the forming station 2 is formed as a thermoforming station, are formed in the film 8 by deep drawing troughs 14.
  • the forming station 2 may be designed such that in the direction perpendicular to the working direction R several troughs are formed side by side.
  • an insertion path 15 is provided, in which molds 14 formed in the film 8 are filled manually or automatically with a product 16.
  • the sealing station 3 has a closable chamber 17 in which the atmosphere in the packaging troughs 14 prior to sealing e.g. can be replaced by gas purging with a replacement gas or with a gas mixture.
  • the packaging troughs 14 in the sealable chamber 17 can be evacuated.
  • the packages produced together in one working cycle of the packaging machine 1 are separated at the same time. They are simultaneously cut out of the film composite 5.
  • This film composite 5 results from the lower film 8 and the lid film 10, over which all packaging of the group of packaging related.
  • each package is cut or punched out of the film composite 5 in a single operation.
  • the packaging machine 1 also has a controller 18. It has the task of controlling and monitoring the processes taking place in the packaging machine 1.
  • a display device 19 with operating elements 20 serves for visualizing or influencing the process sequences in the packaging machine 1 for or by an operator.
  • the lower film 8 is withdrawn from the feed roller 7 and transported by a feed device in the forming station 2.
  • troughs 14 are formed in the film 8 by deep drawing.
  • the wells 14 are transported along with the surrounding area of the film 8 in a main working cycle to the insertion path 15 in which they are filled with product 16.
  • the lidding film 10 is transported to the foil 8 with the advancing movement of the film 8 after a sealing operation. In this case, the lidding film 10 is withdrawn from the material storage 9.
  • the sealing of the cover film 10 on the packaging troughs 14 produces sealed packages 21, which initially continue to be connected in a common film composite 5. This film composite is - as explained - formed from the lower film 8 and the lid film 10. In the complete cutting station 4, the packages 21 are finally separated.
  • outer packs 22 can be provided, for example cartons, to receive individual packs 21.
  • FIG. 1 shows a variant in which the outer packaging 22 are brought by means of a conveying element, for example a conveyor belt 23, to a position below the complete cutting station 4. There, each outer package 22 can be filled from above by means of one or more groups of simultaneously produced and separated packages 21. If an outer packaging 22 is completely filled, it is transported away by means of the conveyor belt 23 and replaced by a new outer packaging 22.
  • FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of the most important components of an embodiment of a complete cutting station 4 according to the invention.
  • This complete cutting station 4 has a complete cutting tool 24, which in turn has a plurality of cut edges 25.
  • Each cut edge 25 has a shape that corresponds to the outer contour of the package 21 to be produced, ie each cut edge 25 can singulate a package 21 from the film composite 5 in a single step.
  • the outer contour of the package 21 and the contour of the cutting edge 25 are almost arbitrary. For example, they may be oval, rectangular or square with no rounded corners, polygonal, circular, etc.
  • the cut edges 25 point downwards as the Complete cutting tool 24 is located above the film composite 5 at the complete cutting station 4 according to the invention.
  • the cutting edges 25 are attached to a bridge 26 which connects all cutting edges 25 of the tool 24 together.
  • the bridge 26 can be moved in the vertical direction relative to the film composite 5 by a suitable drive, for example a servomotor, so that the cut edges 25 can sever the film composite 5 and thus singulate the packages 21.
  • Neighboring packaging has to be singulated - as in FIG. 2 shown - a distance D from each other, which is defined by the position of the packages 21 in the film composite 25 and by the arrangement of the cutting edges 25 of the tool 24.
  • the complete cutting station 4 also has a gripper or transport system 27.
  • the transport system 27 has a plurality of movable transport elements 28, each of which has a head portion 29 in order to be able to fix a single package 21 on the transport element 28.
  • the transport elements 28 are suction grippers and, in the case of the head sections 29, corresponding to suction heads of these suction grippers. If a negative pressure is applied to them by means of a suitable vacuum source, packages 21 are fixed to the suction heads 29 applied to them.
  • each transport element 28 has such external dimensions that it can be completely within the contour defined by a cutting edge 25 for a particular package 21, i. not interfere with the cutting edge 25.
  • the transport elements 28 themselves are essentially rod-shaped and extend in the vertical direction. At its lower end, a transport element 28 carries its head portion 29, on which it can fix a package 21. In the interior of the rod-shaped transport element 28, a pneumatic line for applying a negative pressure on the head portion 29 may be present.
  • the transport elements 28 are mounted in the illustrated embodiment on a gripper bridge 260 of the complete cutting station 4. In particular, they are mounted there so that they can move in the vertical direction relative to the complete cutting tool 24, between a retracted position in which the head portions 29 are located between the cutting edges 25, and a downwardly extended position.
  • the gripper bridge 260 By attachment to the gripper bridge 260, the vertical or lifting movement of the transport elements 28 is coupled.
  • the vertical movement of the transport elements 28 is at least partially independent of the vertical movement of the complete cutting tool 24.
  • the height of the cutting edges 25 having cutting blade 30, ie the distance from the lower end of the cut edges 25 to the bridge 26, is so large that the head portions 29 of Transport elements 28 can be fed between the cutting blade 30.
  • the transport elements 28 can also perform a pivoting movement and / or a lateral translational movement. In order to carry out this additional movement, the transport elements 28 are provided with suitable actuators or motors.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variant of the complete cutting station 4, in which at least the outer transport elements 28 of the transport system 27 via pivot joints 261 are pivotally mounted on the gripper bridge 260. This will allow them to first get out of the in FIG. 2 shown, retracted position in the in FIG. 3 to move the shown extended position. Subsequently, the two outer transport elements 28 are pivoted so (see the two arrows in FIG. 3 ), that their head portions 29 approach the head portion 29 of the central transport element 28. This causes two things: On the one hand, the two outer packages 21 are inclined by the pivotal movement of the transport elements 28, so that their edges 31 are above the edge 31 of the middle package 21. On the other hand reduces by the pivoting movement 28 of the distance D between adjacent packages 21. In the in FIG. 3 shown position, the new section d between adjacent packages 21 even negative, ie the packages 21 overlap at their edges 31st
  • FIG. 4 shows another variant of a complete cutting station according to the invention 4.
  • the transport elements 28 of the transport system 27 are mounted on a gripper bridge 260 and movable in the vertical direction relative to the complete cutting tool 24 between a retracted and an extended position.
  • FIG. 4 shows the transport elements 28 in the extended position.
  • the transport elements 28 are now also transversely movable in the lateral, horizontal direction relative to one another, as again by the two arrows in FIG FIG. 4 shown is. This applies at least to the two outer transport elements 28. These can move in the horizontal direction along horizontal guides 262 to the central transport element 28 after the extension of the transport elements 28. This reduces the distance D between adjacent packages 21.
  • FIG. 4 shows another variant of a complete cutting station according to the invention 4.
  • the transport elements 28 of the transport system 27 are mounted on a gripper bridge 260 and movable in the vertical direction relative to the complete cutting tool 24 between a retracted and an extended position.
  • FIG. 4 shows the transport elements 28 in the extended position.
  • the new distance d may even be negative, ie adjacent packages 21 overlap.
  • the middle transport element 28 along a vertical guide 263 on the gripper bar 260 further down than the two outer transport elements 28, so that the edges 31 of adjacent packages 21 do not collide with each other.
  • FIG. 5 schematically shows a plan view of a group of new packaging 21, which is produced in three rows and three lanes in a single working cycle of the packaging machine 1. Adjacent packages 21 have a distance D from each other when they are separated out of the common film composite 5.
  • FIG. 6 shows the same nine packages 21 after singulating the packages 21 and after reducing the distance between the packages by means of the transport system 27.
  • the arrows in FIG. 6 indicate in which direction certain packages are moved towards each other. It can be seen that the distances D between adjacent packages 21 may decrease in two horizontal spatial directions until even an overlap between adjacent packages 21 occurs. The entire group of nine 21 packaging is thus significantly more compact than the original, in FIG. 5 illustrated situation.
  • packages 21 are produced in the thermoforming packaging machine 1 by closing packaging trays 14 in the sealing station 3 with a cover film 10.
  • the packages 21 hang together in a common film composite 5, which is located in a horizontal plane E (see FIG. 2 ) and from the lower film 8 and the upper film 10 is formed.
  • n for example, 3 ⁇ 3
  • the transport system 27 lowers its transport elements 28 until Head portions 29 of the transport elements 28 each engage with a package 21 in engagement.
  • the packages 21 are fixed to the transport elements 28, so that the packages 21 initially maintain their positions relative to each other even when they are cut out of the film composite 5.
  • the complete cutting tool 24 lowers, so that the cutting edges 25 of the cutting blades 30 cut through the film composite 5, thus separating the packages 21 from each other in a single operation.
  • the transport elements 28 move in the vertical direction from their retracted to a downwardly extended position, see Figures 3 or 4 , The top of the packages 21 is thus below the plane E of the original film composite 5 and preferably below a lower edge of the complete cutting station 4th
  • the overlapping packages 21 can now be lowered if necessary even further and are used in a common outer packaging 22, which is located below the complete cutting station 4.
  • a common outer packaging 22 which is located below the complete cutting station 4.
  • the complete cutting station 4 according to the invention and the method according to the invention can be modified in many ways.
  • any number of packages in n tracks and / or m rows is produced simultaneously.
  • the complete cutting tool 24 and the transport system 27 should then be configured accordingly in order to be able to separate the relevant group of packages simultaneously and transport them out of the complete cutting station 4.
