Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tray sealing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a tray closing machine in which a transfer carriage is moved along guides in the transport direction and by means of a rotational movement of the guides, a relative movement of the gripper arms is generated to each other.
  • a tray closing machine in which two transfer carriages are arranged laterally below a conveyor belt, which transports the trays to a sealing station, and by means of a pivot lever on both transfer slide on which a gripper arm is mounted, the gripper arms for receiving the trays are moved to each other.
  • a tray closure machine in which a gripper system is provided with a carriage, a pivoting device and two gripper arms above the transport plane for the shells and a speed difference between the drive of the carriage and a drive of the pivoting device for the movement of the gripper arms to each other.
  • a common disadvantage of the prior art tray sealing machines described above is that the gripper arms do not move parallel to and at a fixed distance from the tray transport plane. Depending on the size of the shells, the gripper arms for receiving the shells are moved to different degrees to each other and thus have different heights relative to the transport plane and thus with respect to the shell bottom. Due to a collision with the gripper arms and the sealing tool lower part during the closing movement and the resulting vertical movement, it is difficult to detect shallow trays.
  • narrow shells can be gripped only with simultaneous replacement of the sealing tool base and / or the sealing tool shell with smaller lateral dimensions and adapted gripper arms to move the gripper arms closer to each other ,
  • the WO 2011/018391 shows a Schalenversch withmaschine with a horizontal Greiferarmver ein on a transfer slide, which is located above the transport plane, with the transfer slide moving drives are provided for the Greiferarmver ein.
  • Such a tray sealing machine has the disadvantage that the stroke of the gripper arms is limited due to the horizontally and transversely to the transport direction provided guides, and that due inertial drives for the Greiferarmver ein the inertial mass of the transfer carriage is high.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a tray sealing machine with a gripper system which no longer has the disadvantages mentioned.
  • a display 11 allows the operator of the tray sealing machine 1 to check and control the operation of the tray sealing machine 1.
  • a gripper system 12 includes a transfer carriage 13, a pivoting device 14, and two gripper arms 15. Movement of the gripper system 12 in and against a transport direction R is for insertion of unsealed trays 4 from the collecting belt 6 in the closing device 3 and for discharging closed trays 4a from the closing device 3 on the discharge conveyor 7.
  • the transport surfaces of the belts 6, 7, 8 for the trays 4, 4a define the horizontal transport plane E.
  • the gripper arms 15 After opening the sealing device 3, as in FIG. 2b 2, the gripper arms 15 make a closing movement in a horizontal plane to each other and grasp two trays 4a which have been closed with a lid film and two trays 4 provided on the collecting belt 6.
  • FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the gripper system 12 as a separate assembly without the guides 16, but with transfer carriage 13, lifting drive 17 and pivot drive 19 for the closing movement of the gripper arms 15.
  • the lifting drive 17 is stationary mounted on the machine frame 2 and does not move the transfer carriage 13 along here illustrated guides 16 by means of a toothed belt drive 20. Alternatively, flat belts, chains or a spindle drive can be used.
  • the pivot drive 19 is also mounted stationary on the machine frame 2 and rotates a first shaft 21. By means provided at the ends of the first shaft 21 levers 22, a second shaft 23 is rotated about the first shaft 21 in order to transmit a torque to the pivoting device 14 can while the pivoting device 14 is guided along both shafts 21, 23.
  • FIG. 4a shows in plan view the gripper system 12 in the open position.
  • the gripper arms 15 must maintain their position with respect to the transport direction R.
  • a relative movement of the gripper arms 15 relative to the transfer carriage 13 takes place. This relative movement is compensated by a movement of the transfer carriage 13. This means that the lifting drive 17 (see FIG. 3 ) during the closing movement of the gripper arms 15 with the pivot drive 19 (see FIG.
  • FIGS. 4a and 4c show the FIGS. 4a and 4c in that the space requirement of the pivoting device 14, in particular the parallelogram linkage 18, is low and it is nevertheless possible to be able to grasp both very narrow shells 4 and very wide shells 4 without having to make modifications to the gripper system 12. This increases flexibility and set-up times are reduced.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4c For example, there is shown a single track tray closing machine 1 for concurrently closing two trays 4.
  • the tray sealing machine 1 according to the invention can also be implemented as a multi-track tray closing machine 1 and conceivable for any number of trays 4.
