Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tray sealing machine with a sealing station according to the preamble of claim 1, and to a method for transporting trays by means of a transport system to, in and / or from a tray sealing machine which seals the trays with a lidding film.
  • trays are generally transported by means of a transport system up to a sealing station.
  • the shells previously filled with a product are sealed by means of a cover film and thus sealed.
  • the trays may be previously evacuated and / or gassed with a replacement gas or gas mixture.
  • a gripper system is often used, as for example from the DE 10 2010 027 211.6 evident.
  • the shells are on a transport route and are detected there by carriers and transported forward.
  • These drivers are often transverse rods extending across the transport path and each being clamped at their two ends in a transport chain. As a result, they necessarily have a constant distance from each other, which is usually greater than the length of a shell in the transport direction.
  • a tray sealing machine is, for example, from the US 3,908,342 out.
  • her is provided for separating the sealed shells from each other cutting blade synchronized with the equidistant provided between two chains drivers. Through this synchronization, the cutting blade can dip into a groove on the drivers.
  • the DE 10 2008 040 204 A1 describes a device with which products can be fed to a tubular bag closing machine.
  • the object of this device is to convert a chaotically arriving product stream into an ordered product sequence.
  • Circulating transfer systems for transporting products, but not for use in a tray sealing machine are known from WO 00/48908 A1 , of the DE 10 2009 003 080 A1 or the DE 10 2010 028 333 A1 known.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve a tray sealing machine and a method for transporting trays in terms of their efficiency.
  • the tray sealing machine is characterized in that the carriers configured to take along at least one tray are movable independently of one another along the carrier path.
  • any two drivers no longer necessarily have a constant distance from each other and the same speed. Rather, the distances and speeds between any, especially adjacent drivers may differ. Surprisingly, this significantly increases the efficiency of the tray sealing machine.
  • This makes it possible, for example, to vary the distances of the shells along their transport path even without the use of conveyor belts which are synchronized with each other in a complex manner, in order to adapt these distances to requirements changing along the transport route, for example.
  • the trays could be given a slower speed along a fill line to be better filled while being quickly transported to a sealing station.
  • the variable distances between adjacent drivers make it possible to adjust the distances between the shells particularly well to the dimensions of a sealing tool.
  • each driver with an individual velocity profile is movable along the driver track to further enhance the flexibility of the tray sealer application.
  • the tray closure machine's transport system can respond to irregularly arriving trays and even create a regular array of trays from irregularly arrived trays.
  • the driving track will have a transport section for the shells associated transport section and a return section. It is favorable if the drivers are movable on the return section at a higher speed, at least at a higher average speed, than on the transport section. This makes it possible to quickly return the released after the transport of a shell driver back to the starting point of the transport section, so that a total of a smaller number of carriers is needed.
  • At least one linear motor for driving the drivers is provided along the driving path.
  • a linear motor is known in practice. He has a sequence of electromagnets along the endless, ie closed Mit Congressbahn are arranged.
  • wheels, airbags or an electromagnetically generated floating effect could be used.
  • At least one position sensor is provided for detecting the position of a shell and / or the position of a driver.
  • a position sensor increases the efficiency of the tray sealing machine.
  • a buffer section for buffering a plurality of shells can be provided along the transport path.
  • Such a buffer section is characterized in that the shells have a lower speed there on average and / or have smaller distances from one another.
  • the buffer section allows subsequent stations, such as the sealing station of the tray sealing machine, to be supplied as evenly as possible with a stream of trays so as to ensure uniform operation of the tray closing machine.
  • the transport system has not one but two, three or generally several tracks for transporting a plurality of juxtaposed tracks of trays. Compared to a single-lane design of the tray sealer, this increases throughput, i. the number of shells transportable per unit of time along a particular section of track.
  • the transport system has multiple tracks, it is possible that the carriers of different tracks are independently movable. This makes it possible to detect also irregularly arriving on adjacent tracks trays and to transport on.
  • adjacent carriers of different tracks can be coupled in sections along the transport route in their speed.
  • this coupling of speeds could occur If the carriers have taken exactly the same position along the transport route, so that the trays covered by them lie exactly next to each other. In this way, the shells can be processed particularly well, for example by a sealing tool.
  • the drivers are each movably mounted on a carriage movable along the carrier path relative to this carriage. This makes it possible to remove the drivers from the area around a shell closing sealing tools, so that the sealing tools can form a hermetically sealed sealing chamber, without interfering with the driver.
  • the driver could be provided pivotably and / or translationally movable on the carriage. For example, it could simply be moved horizontally and transversely to the transport direction of the shells to the outside. It would also be possible that the driver for this purpose has a variable length and is constructed, for example, telescopic.
  • the invention also relates to a method for transporting trays by means of a transport system.
  • the carriers are moved independently along a Mitauerbahn the transport system in this method to allow the above-mentioned advantages.
  • the carriers are preferably moved faster along a return section of the transport system than along a transport section of the transport system, and that the shells can optionally be transported along the transport route not only in one lane but in several adjacent lanes.
  • these tracks will be arranged parallel to each other. It is possible in particular that adjacent carriers of different tracks are moved in sections along the transport route at the same speed.
  • At least some carriers are each mounted on a carriage which is movable along the carrier path, namely movable relative to this carriage, so that they can be moved out of the area of this sealing tool before closing a sealing tool.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a Schalenversch separatemaschine invention 1 with a sealing station 2, in the shells 3, in particular plastic trays, can be closed with a cover sheet 4.
  • the cover film 4 is unrolled from a film roll 5 and guided over a deflection roller 6 in the sealing station 2.
  • a further deflecting roller 7 deflects the remaining film grid of the cover film 4 onto a residual film winder 8.
  • the sealing station 2 has in the usual way a lower tool 9 and an upper tool 10. These tools 9, 10 of the sealing station 2 are in FIG. 1 shown in an open position. However, they may be transferred to a closed position in which they form between them a hermetically sealed sealing chamber 11 in which the trays 3 filled with a product 12 can be evacuated and / or fumigated before being sealed.
  • the tray sealing machine 1 has a transport path 13 along which the trays 3 are transported in a transport direction T to the sealing station 2, through the sealing station 2 and from the sealing station 2.
  • the transport path 13 may be formed, for example in the form of a support or sliding plane on which rest the shells 3.
  • the trained as a support transport section 13 has a slot or an interruption, so that a below the Transport path 13 arranged transport system 14, the shells 3 detect and can transport along the transport path 13.
  • the transport system 14 may laterally surround the transport path 13.
  • the transport system 14 has an endless carrier track 15.
  • This carrier track 15 in turn has a first, straight, the transport path 13 associated and located directly below this transport section 13 transport section 16, and also a rectilinear, located below or next to the transport section 16 return section 17 and two the two aforementioned sections 16, 17 connecting , Curved connecting portions 18, 19.
  • On the driving track 15 is a finite number of carriages 20 which are movable along the driving path 15.
  • Each carriage 20 has a driver 21, which is designed with respect to its size and stability to take away at least one shell 3 and protrudes in the present embodiment for this purpose from below through a slot in the transport path 13 so that the upward on the transport path 13 also protruding portion of the driver 21 can detect and take a shell 3.
  • the driver 21 may be designed for this purpose as a rod, as a plate or as a bracket.
  • the driving track 15 is formed as a whole linear motor 22.
  • the Mitauerbahn 15 forms the stationary part of the linear motor 22, whose movable part or runners are formed by the carriage 20.
  • the Mitauerbahn 15 is divided into fine sections 23, which are shown for clarity only in a short range.
  • a variable magnetic field can be applied to the individual sections 23 in such a way that this magnetic field moves the carriages 20 along the carrier track 15.
  • located on the transport section 16 carriage 20 and driver 21 move in the transport direction T of the shells, while they move on the return section 17 in the reverse direction.
  • the sections 23 of the linear motor 22 are configured so that they can be controlled individually by the controller 24. This makes it possible according to the invention, the individual Driver 21 independently, in particular independently of the respective adjacent carriages and carriers 21 to move along the driving path 15. Thus, it is even possible that each driver 21 along the carrier track 15 receives its own, individual speed profile.
  • Position sensors 25, 26, for example in the form of light barriers or cameras, are used to detect a position of a shell 3 or a driver 21.
  • a first position sensor 25 is arranged at the beginning of the transport path 13 to there the position and the presence of a shell 3 to capture. The position sensor 25 may be located above, below or next to the transport path 13.
  • a second position sensor 26 is arranged at the end of the return section 17 of the carrier track 15 in order to detect there the presence and the position of a carriage 20 with a driver 21 and / or the condition and in particular possible defects of the driver 21.
  • the transport system 14 may have its own position detection system for real-time detection of the position of each individual carriage 20.
  • trays 3 are made available to the transport system 14, for example manually or by a destacker.
  • the arrangement of the shells 3 may be irregular in the insertion region 28.
  • the position of each individual shell 3 is detected by the position sensor 25 and transmitted to the controller 24. This ensures by appropriate control of the linear motor 22 of the carrier track 15 that each tray 3, a carriage 20 is provided with a driver 21. This driver 21 detects the respective shell 3 and ensures their transport along the transport path 13.
  • the empty shells 3 reach along the transport path 13 to a filling line 29.
  • the shells 3 are filled with a product 12. This filling can be done automatically or manually.
  • the individual control of the driver 21 allows that the driver 21 and the shells 3 covered by them the Reach equidistant filling line 29, even if they were originally used in an irregular arrangement.
  • the control of the driver 21 is further carried out so that the shells 3 occupy a minimum distance from each other along the filling section 29. This reduces the likelihood that a product passes between the trays 3 on the transport path 13. In addition, the small distances between the shells 3 facilitate the filling of the shells.
  • the filling section 29 may be designed for this purpose as a buffer section of the transport path 13, which is designed to buffer a variable number of shells 3. However, the buffer section may also be formed separately from the filling section 29. Along the filling path 29, the speed of the carriage 20 and thus the driver 21 and the shells 3 is reduced.
  • the shells 3 are again accelerated to a higher speed and brought to mutual distances A from each other, which correspond to the distances of the shells 3 in a sealing tool 31 of the sealing station 2.
  • the speed of the drivers 21 and the shells 3 along the section 30 can be controlled precisely so that a suitable group of shells 3 enters the sealing station 2 immediately after opening the lower and upper tool 9, 10 of the sealing station 2.
  • the carriages 20 and thus the trays 3 are stopped. If necessary, carriages 20 are moved back out of the sealing station 2 or the drivers 21 are removed from the region of the sealing station 2. Lower and upper tool 9, 10 of the sealing station 2 close.
  • the sealing chamber 11 is evacuated and, if appropriate, fumigated before the sealing tool 31 seals the cover film 4 to the shells 3.
  • the closed trays 3 are transported out of the sealing station 2 and removed.
  • the carriage 20 and catch 21 freed from the shells 3 are accelerated and moved along the return section 17 at a higher speed than on the transport section 16 until the end of the return section 17. There, the free and available carriers 21 accumulate in a storage area 32.
  • the position of the foremost carrier 21 is monitored by means of the position sensor 26. As soon as the position sensor 25 gives a corresponding signal, the foremost driver 21 is accelerated via the connection section 19 in order to detect a new shell 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows the embodiment according to FIG. 1 once again in a more abstract form.
  • the empty shells 3 are placed on the transport path 13 and detected there by free carriers 21.

It differs from the first exemplary embodiment in that the trays 3 in the insertion region 28 are taken over by an upstream conveyor belt 33 onto the transport path 13. The position sensor 25 detects the position of the possibly irregularly arriving shells. 3
  • FIG. 4 shows an equally abstract representation of another variant of the transport system 14, but this time in plan view.
  • the shells 3 are placed on the transport path 13 and detected by the drivers 21.
  • the buffer area 29 the shells 3 are buffered and can be optionally filled there.

  • the transport path 13 comprises a separating section 34.
  • individual control of the driver 21, the distances between adjacent shells 3 are increased on the separating section 34 in order to separate the shells from each other. This facilitates individual removal of the filled and sealed trays 3 and also individual process steps such as weighing, checking and / or labeling of the finished trays 3.
  • FIG. 5 also shows in plan view and also in abstract form another embodiment of the transport system 14.
  • the transport system along the transport path 13 has three adjacent tracks S1, S2, S3. Trays 3 can be transported on each of the parallel tracks S1, S2, S3.
