Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verpackungsmaschine mit einem stationären Tragrahmen, in dem eine Zufördereinheit, ein Folienaggregat, eine Falteinheit mit einem Verpackungskolben, einem Faltkanal und Verschlusslamellen, sowie eine Abtransporteinheit gehalten sind.The invention relates to a packaging machine with a stationary support frame, in which a feed unit, a film unit, a folding unit with a packaging piston, a folding channel and shutter blades, and a Abtransporteinheit are held.
Derartige, aus dem Stand der Technik bekannte Verpackungsmaschinen werden dazu eingesetzt, beliebige Produkte, insbesondere Lebensmittel, mit einer Folienverpackung zu versehen. Im Rahmen eines Verpackungsvorgangs wird ein zu verpackendes Produkt innerhalb der Verpackungsmaschine durch die Zufördereinheit oberhalb des Verpackungskolbens positioniert, während das Folienaggregat eine oberhalb des Produkts innerhalb einer horizontalen Ebene aufgespannte Folie bereitstellt. Diese Folie wird innerhalb des Folienaggregats von einer Vorratsrolle abgezogen. Ein für die Verpackung benötigter Folienabschnitt wird von im Folienaggregat vorhandenen Folienmessern von der Vorratsrolle abgetrennt, wenn der Verpackungskolben das zu verpackende Produkt gemeinsam mit dem oberhalb des Produkts befindlichen Folienabschnitt durch den oberhalb des Verpackungskolbens angeordneten Faltkanal bewegt. Nachdem das Produkt mit dem Folienabschnitt den Faltkanal nach oben verlassen hat, werden nach unten überstehende Folienbereiche mittels der Verschlusslamellen auf die Unterseite des Produkts gefaltet, so dass das Produkt vollständig vom Folienabschnitt umschlossen und somit verpackt ist. Schließlich wird das so verpackte Produkt durch die Abtransporteinheit aus der Verpackungsmaschine herausbewegt.Such known from the prior art packaging machines are used to provide any products, especially food, with a foil packaging. As part of a packaging process, a product to be packaged within the packaging machine is positioned above the packaging envelope by the feed unit, while the film assembly provides a film spanned above the product within a horizontal plane. This film is peeled off from a supply roll within the film aggregate. A required for the packaging film section is separated from existing in the film unit foil knives from the supply roll when the packaging piston, the product to be packaged together with the above the product located film section by the above the packaging piston arranged folding channel moves. After the product with the film section has left the folding channel upwards, film regions projecting downwards are folded onto the underside of the product by means of the sealing strips, so that the product is completely enclosed by the film section and thus packaged. Finally, the product thus packaged is moved out of the packaging machine by the removal unit.
Besonders beim Verpacken von Lebensmittelprodukten, insbesondere Käseportionen, ist es problematisch, dass die einzelnen Komponenten der Verpackungsmaschine mit der Zeit verschmutzen, so dass die Verpackungsmaschine regelmäßig gründlich und intensiv gereinigt werden muss, um bestehende Hygienevorschriften zu erfüllen. Ein derartiger Reinigungsvorgang erfolgt in der Praxis beispielsweise durch mehrfaches Abwaschen der Maschinenkomponenten mit Wasser, wobei hier entweder Schwallwasser oder eine Niederdruckreinigung eingesetzt wird. Weiterhin werden für den Reinigungsvorgang oftmals auch Schaumreiniger und flüssige Desinfektionsmittel verwendet. Bei solchen Reinigungsvorgängen werden empfindliche Maschinenkomponenten, wie z.B. das Folienmesser des Folienaggregats oftmals auf nachteilige Weise in Mitleidenschaft gezogen, da es schwierig ist, diese Komponenten vor einem zu intensiven Kontakt mit Reinigungsmittel und Wasser zu schützen.Particularly when packaging food products, in particular cheese portions, it is problematic that the individual components of the packaging machine become dirty over time, so that the packaging machine must be thoroughly cleaned regularly and thoroughly to meet existing hygiene requirements. Such a cleaning process takes place in practice, for example, by multiple washing of the machine components with water, here either splash water or low pressure cleaning is used. Furthermore, foam cleaners and liquid disinfectants are often used for the cleaning process. In such cleaning operations, sensitive machine components, such as e.g. Often, the film knife of the film aggregate is adversely affected, as it is difficult to protect these components from overheating contact with detergent and water.
Eine Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, eine Verpackungsmaschine der eingangs genannten Art derart weiterzubilden, dass empfindliche Maschinenkomponenten bei einer Reinigung der Verpackungsmaschine nicht beansprucht oder sogar beschädigt werden.An object of the invention is to develop a packaging machine of the type mentioned in such a way that sensitive machine components are not claimed during a cleaning of the packaging machine or even damaged.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 und insbesondere dadurch gelöst, dass das Folienaggregat relativ derart zum Tragrahmen beweglich gelagert ist, dass es gegenüber der Zufördereinheit und dem Verpackungskolben zwischen einer Betriebsposition und einer Reinigungsposition verstellbar ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the features of claim 1 and in particular by the fact that the film unit is movably mounted relative to the support frame so that it is adjustable relative to the feed unit and the packaging piston between an operating position and a cleaning position.
Die erfindungsgemäße Idee lässt sich konstruktiv besonders einfach verwirklichen, wenn das Folienaggregat und die Verschlusslamellen und der Faltkanal schwenkbar um eine sich vertikal und außerhalb des Tragrahmens erstreckende Schwenkachse am Tragrahmen gelagert sind.The idea according to the invention can be implemented particularly simply in terms of design if the film unit and the shutter blades and the folding channel are pivotally mounted on the support frame about a pivot axis extending vertically and outside the support frame.
Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass das Folienaggregat selbst durch die zu verpackenden Produkte in keiner Weise oder allenfalls in nur sehr geringem Ausmaß verschmutzt wird, da sämtliche Teile des Folienaggregats durch die zuerst oberhalb des Produkts gespannte Folie und anschließend durch die auf das Produkt gefaltete Folie gegenüber dem Produkt abgeschirmt sind. Die Folie bewirkt somit, dass keine vom zu verpackenden Produkt herabfallenden Teile oder von ihm abgesonderte Flüssigkeit in Berührung mit den einzelnen Bestandteilen des Folienaggregats gelangen können. Hieraus folgt, dass das vor einem direkten Produktkontakt durch die Folie abgeschirmte Folienaggregat, welches das empfindliche Folienmesser und ebenfalls empfindliche Führungen für bewegliche Teile des Folienaggregats aufweist, nicht in den Reinigungsvorgang einbezogen werden muss.The invention is based on the finding that the film aggregate itself is contaminated by the products to be packaged in any way or at most only to a very limited extent, since all parts of the film aggregate by the first stretched above the product film and then by the folded product on the product Foil are shielded from the product. The film thus has the effect that no parts falling from the product to be packaged or liquid separated from it can come into contact with the individual components of the film aggregate. It follows that the film unit which is shielded from direct product contact by the film and which has the sensitive film knife and also sensitive guides for moving parts of the film unit need not be included in the cleaning process.
Somit wird es erfindungsgemäß möglich, das komplette Folienaggregat aus seiner Betriebsposition in eine Reinigungsposition zu bewegen, in der es sich im Wesentlichen außerhalb des vom Tragrahmen begrenzten Volumens befindet. Dementsprechend können die innerhalb des vom Tragrahmen begrenzten Volumens verbleibenden Komponenten der Verpackungsmaschine problemlos gereinigt werden, ohne dass dabei Reinigungsmittel und Wasser an das in seiner Reinigungsposition befindliche Folienaggregat gelangen. Auf diese Weise werden die empfindlichen Teile des Folienaggregats zuverlässig vor Reinigungsmittel und Wasser geschützt, wobei gleichzeitig sichergestellt werden kann, dass alle anderen, einer Verschmutzung ausgesetzten Komponenten der Verpackungsmaschine, insbesondere die Zufördereinheit und der Verpackungskolben, gründlich und intensiv gereinigt werden können.Thus, it is possible according to the invention to move the complete film unit from its operating position to a cleaning position in which it is located substantially outside the volume bounded by the support frame. Accordingly, the components of the packaging machine remaining within the volume bounded by the support frame may remain be cleaned easily without causing detergent and water to reach the located in its cleaning position film unit. In this way, the sensitive parts of the film assembly are reliably protected from detergent and water, while ensuring that all other contaminated components of the packaging machine, in particular the feed unit and the packaging flask, can be thoroughly and thoroughly cleaned.
Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsmaschine besteht darin, dass die innerhalb des vom Tragrahmen begrenzten Volumens verbleibenden Komponenten bei in der Reinigungsposition befindlichem Folienaggregat besser zugänglich sind, was sowohl bei der Reinigung als auch bei der Maschinenwartung und dem Einstellen der Verpackungsmaschine auf verschiedene Produktformate Vorteile bedingt.A further advantage of the packaging machine according to the invention is that the components remaining within the volume bounded by the supporting frame are more accessible when the film unit is in the cleaning position, which results in advantages both in cleaning and in machine maintenance and setting of the packaging machine to different product formats.
Die Verschlusslamellen sind relativ derart zum Tragrahmen beweglich gelagert, dass sie gegenüber der Zufördereinheit und dem Verpackungskolben zwischen einer Betriebsposition und einer Reinigungsposition verstellbar sind. Ebenso wie das Folienaggregat sind nämlich auch die Verschlusslamellen beim Verpackungsvorgang durch die Folie zuverlässig gegenüber dem Produkt abgeschirmt, so dass auch die Verschlusslamellen durch das zu verpackende Produkt nicht verschmutzt werden. Somit können auch die Verschlusslamellen durch die Bewegung in ihre Reinigungsposition vor Reinigungsmittel und Wasser geschützt werden. Wenn sich sowohl das Folienaggregat als auch die Verschlusslamellen in ihrer jeweiligen Reinigungsposition befinden, wird gleichzeitig auf vorteilhafte Weise die Zugänglichkeit der innerhalb des Tragrahmens verbleibenden Komponenten zusätzlich verbessert.The shutter blades are relatively movably mounted to the support frame so that they are adjustable relative to the feed unit and the packaging piston between an operating position and a cleaning position. As well as the film unit namely the shutter blades are reliably shielded during the packaging process by the film against the product, so that the shutter blades are not polluted by the product to be packaged. Thus, the shutter blades can be protected by the movement in their cleaning position from detergent and water. When both the film aggregate and the shutter blades are in their respective cleaning position, the accessibility of the components remaining within the support frame is also advantageously improved at the same time.
Die genannten Vorteile werden noch weiter optimiert, indem auch der Faltkanal relativ zum Tragrahmen beweglich gelagert ist, so dass er gegenüber der Zufördereinheit und dem Verpackungskolben zwischen einer Betriebsposition und einer Reinigungsposition verstellbar ist. Auch der Faltkanal ist nämlich durch die Folie beim Verpackungsvorgang zuverlässig gegenüber dem Produkt abgeschirmt, so dass auch er von der Reinigung ausgespart werden kann, wodurch einerseits der Faltkanal geschützt und andererseits die Zugänglichkeit der im Tragrahmen verbleibenden Komponenten noch weiter verbessert werden kann.The advantages mentioned are further optimized in that the folding channel is also movably mounted relative to the support frame, so that it can be adjusted relative to the feed unit and the packaging piston between an operating position and a cleaning position. Also, the folding channel is namely reliably shielded by the film during the packaging process against the product, so that he can be spared from the cleaning, which on the one hand protected the folding channel and on the other hand, the accessibility of the remaining components in the support frame can be further improved.
Die Schwenkachse kann sich insbesondere ungefähr im Mittenbereich einer Seite des Tragrahmens oder benachbart zu einem Eckbereich des Tragrahmens erstrecken. Die Anordnung im Eckbereich wird im Rahmen der Figurenbeschreibung nachstehend noch näher erläutert. Eine Anordnung im Mittenbereich einer Seite des Tragrahmens ist z.B. dann sinnvoll, wenn die Förderrichtung der Zufördereinheit und die Folienförderrichtung des Folienaggregats in der Betriebsposition einen Winkel von 180° zueinander aufweisen.In particular, the pivot axis may extend approximately in the middle region of one side of the support frame or adjacent to a corner region of the support frame. The arrangement in the corner area will be explained in more detail below in the description of the figures. An arrangement in the center region of one side of the support frame is e.g. makes sense if the conveying direction of the feed unit and the film conveying direction of the film unit in the operating position at an angle of 180 ° to each other.
Der Schwenkwinkel zwischen Betriebsposition und Reinigungsposition kann bezogen auf alle schwenkbaren Komponenten in einem Bereich zwischen 45° und 180° liegen und bevorzugt 90° betragen. Ein Schwenkwinkel von 90° ist z.B. wiederum dann sinnvoll, wenn die Förderrichtung der Zufördereinheit und die Folienförderrichtung des Folienaggregats in der Betriebsposition einen Winkel von 180° zueinander aufweisen. Diese Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird im Rahmen der Figurenbeschreibung noch näher erläutert.The swivel angle between operating position and cleaning position can be in a range between 45 ° and 180 °, and preferably 90 °, relative to all pivotable components. A pivoting angle of 90 ° is e.g. again makes sense if the conveying direction of the feed unit and the film conveying direction of the film unit in the operating position at an angle of 180 ° to each other. This embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail in the description of the figures.
Wenn der Faltkanal schwenkbar am Tragrahmen gelagert ist, bedingt dies zudem auf vorteilhafte Weise, dass ein Auswechseln des Faltkanals bei einem Wechsel des Produktformats erleichtert wird, da der Faltkanal in der ausgeschwenkten Stellung besser zugänglich ist.If the folding channel is pivotally mounted on the support frame, this also requires in an advantageous manner that a replacement of the folding channel at A change of product format is facilitated because the folding channel is more accessible in the swung-out position.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Folienaggregat und/oder die Verschlusslamellen und/oder der Faltkanal derart miteinander gekoppelt sind, dass sie gemeinsam relativ zum Tragrahmen, insbesondere um eine gemeinsame Schwenkachse, bewegbar sind. So können alle zwischen einer Betriebsposition und einer Reinigungsposition verstellbaren Maschinenkomponenten zu einer Einheit verbunden werden, die als Ganzes zwischen den beiden genannten Positionen hin und her bewegt werden kann. Dies vereinfacht sowohl die Konstruktion als auch die Handhabung der erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsmaschine.It is particularly advantageous if the film aggregate and / or the shutter blades and / or the folding channel are coupled together in such a way that they are movable together relative to the support frame, in particular about a common pivot axis. Thus, all machine components that can be adjusted between an operating position and a cleaning position can be connected to form a unit that can be moved back and forth between the two positions mentioned as a whole. This simplifies both the construction and the handling of the packaging machine according to the invention.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es bevorzugt, wenn das Folienaggregat und/oder die Verschlusslamellen zumindest einen gemeinsam mit Folienaggregat und/oder Verschlusslamellen relativ zum Tragrahmen beweglichen Servoantrieb aufweisen. In diesem Fall können die fest am Tragrahmen angeordneten Maschinenkomponenten und die zwischen einer Betriebsposition und einer Reinigungsposition bewegbaren Maschinenkomponenten voneinander getrennte Antriebe aufweisen, so dass sie hinsichtlich ihres Antriebs vollständig voneinander entkoppelt sind. Hierdurch wird die Konstruktion einer erfindungsgemäßen Verpackungsmaschine vereinfacht, da keine antriebsmäßige Kopplung zwischen starr im Tragrahmen einerseits und beweglich zum Tragrahmen andererseits angeordneten Maschinenkomponenten erforderlich ist.According to the invention, it is preferred if the film aggregate and / or the shutter blades have at least one servo drive that is movable together with the film unit and / or shutter blades relative to the support frame. In this case, the machine components fixedly arranged on the support frame and the machine components which can be moved between an operating position and a cleaning position can have separate drives so that they are completely decoupled from one another with respect to their drive. As a result, the construction of a packaging machine according to the invention is simplified because no driving coupling between rigid in the support frame on the one hand and movable to the support frame on the other hand arranged machine components is required.
Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Patentansprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Figuren erläutert.Further preferred embodiments of the invention are explained in the patent claims, the description and the figures.
