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 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.
- 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.
- the tray sealing machine comprises a closing device, a collecting belt, a discharge belt and a gripper system
- the gripper system comprises a transfer carriage, guide for the transfer carriage, a lifting drive for driving the transfer carriage, at least two gripper arms, a pivoting device for the gripper arms and a pivot drive for driving the pivoting device having.
- the invention is characterized in that the pivoting device has vertically arranged axes of rotation in order to move the gripper arms relative to one another and in a plane parallel to a transport plane of trays to be transported. This has the advantage that the gripper arms can on the one hand only have a very small distance to the transport plane in order to be able to grip even shallow trays.
- the pivoting device comprises at least one parallelogram linkage per gripper arm to allow a relative movement of the gripper arms to each other, in which the gripper arms are permanently aligned in the transport direction or parallel to each other.
- the transfer carriage is driven by the lifting drive by means of a toothed belt drive to minimize the inertia of the moving masses of the gripper system.
- the pivoting device is preferably drivable by the pivot drive by means of a first and second shaft to attach the pivot drive stationary to a machine frame can. This also reduces the moving mass of the gripper system and this version is low maintenance than a co-moving drive with mechanically stressed power lines.
- the vertically arranged axes of rotation of the pivoting device can be driven by means of a rotation of the shafts and a lever mechanism provided on the transfer carriage. According to the distance of the shafts to each other high torques can be transmitted from the rotary actuator to the pivoting device or to the Parallogrammgestfite and thus to the gripper arms.
- the guides for the transfer sled are preferably provided in the transport direction behind the sealing station and thus begin only after (ie downstream) the sealing station to increase the hygiene quality by as few components as possible are arranged above the still unclosed shells, for example on the collecting tape on which the trays are open with the product upwards, thus reducing the risk of contamination of the products before closing.
- the guides and the transfer sled below the transport plane are provided to increase the hygiene quality by as few components as possible are arranged above the still unclosed shells, for example, on the collection tape.
- the lifting drive and / or the pivoting drive comprise a servomotor in order to achieve high dynamics, and thus both drives can perform mutually movements in a very high accuracy, which is advantageous for the closing movement of the gripper arms.
- both drives can perform mutually movements in a very high accuracy, which is advantageous for the closing movement of the gripper arms.
- all intermediate positions are possible with the gripper arm movement with servomotors.
- the axes of rotation are coupled to each other by means of a lever mechanism such that the parallelogram linkage are movable synchronously, so that the position of the gripper arms is always centric to the closing device or to the shells.
- the gripper arms are preferably connected at one of their ends to the parallelogram linkage. Thus, only the gripper arms protrude into the closing device and the transfer carriage with the pivoting device moves outside the closing device. According to save space, the closing device can be performed.
- further guides and a further transfer slide are provided in front of the closing device, wherein the upstream ends of the gripper arms are connected by means of a further pivoting device with the further transfer carriage.

- 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 operation of the gripper system 12 is based on the FIGS. 2a to 2d explained.

- the movements are shown by arrows.
- 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.

Description
Die Erfindung bezieht sich eine Schalenverschließmaschine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a tray sealing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
Aus der
Es ist aus der
Aus der
Ein gemeinsamer Nachteil der oben beschriebenen Schalenverschließmaschinen nach dem Stand der Technik ist, dass die Greiferarme sich nicht parallel und in einem festen Abstand von der Transportebene für die Schalen zueinander bewegen. Je nach Größe der Schalen werden die Greiferarme zur Aufnahme der Schalen unterschiedlich weit zueinander zubewegt und weisen somit unterschiedliche Höhen gegenüber der Transportebene und damit gegenüber dem Schalenboden auf. Aufgrund einer Kollision mit den Greiferarmen und dem Siegelwerkzeugunterteil während der Schließbewegung und der dabei auftretenden vertikalen Bewegung ist es schwer möglich, flache Schalen zu erfassen. Aufgrund der seitlichen Abmessung des Siegelwerkzeugunterteils und/oder des Siegelwerkzeugoberteils und eines begrenzten Wegs der Greiferarme können schmale Schalen nur bei gleichzeitigem Austausch des Siegelwerkzeugunterteils und/oder des Siegelwerkzeugoberteils mit geringeren seitlichen Abmaßen und angepassten Greiferarmen, um die Greiferarme näher zueinander bewegen zu können, ergriffen werden.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. Due to the lateral dimension of the sealing tool bottom and / or the sealing tool top and a limited path of the gripper arms narrow trays can be taken only with simultaneous replacement of the sealing tool base and / or the sealing tool upper part with smaller lateral dimensions and adapted gripper arms to move the gripper arms closer to each other ,
Die
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, eine Schalenverschließmaschine mit einem Greifersystem zur Verfügung zu stellen, die die genannten Nachteile nicht mehr aufweist.The object of the present invention is to provide a tray sealing machine with a gripper system which no longer has the disadvantages mentioned.
Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Schalenverschließmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.This object is achieved by a tray sealing machine with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the subclaims.
Die erfindungsgemäße Schalenverschließmaschine umfasst eine Verschließvorrichtung, ein Sammelband, ein Abführband und ein Greifersystem, wobei das Greifersystem einen Übergabeschlitten, Führungen für den Übergabeschlitten, einen Hubantrieb zum Antreiben des Übergabeschlittens, wenigstens zwei Greiferarme, eine Schwenkvorrichtung für die Greiferarme und einen Schwenkantrieb zum Antreiben der Schwenkvorrichtung aufweist. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Schwenkvorrichtung vertikal angeordnete Drehachsen aufweist, um die Greiferarme relativ zueinander und in einer zu einer Transportebene von zu transportierenden Schalen parallelen Ebene zu bewegen. Dies bringt den Vorteil, dass die Greiferarme zum Einen einen nur noch sehr geringen Abstand zur Transportebene aufweisen können, um auch flache Schalen ergreifen zu können. Zum Anderen ist eine im Verhältnis zum Stand der Technik größere Hubbewegung und eine platzsparende Ausführung möglich, da die Drehachsen vertikal angeordnet sind. Die Lagerung der Drehachsen ermöglicht einen sehr geringen Platzbedarf seitlich des Abführbands oder des Sammelbands.The tray sealing machine according to the invention comprises a closing device, a collecting belt, a discharge belt and a gripper system, wherein the gripper system comprises a transfer carriage, guide for the transfer carriage, a lifting drive for driving the transfer carriage, at least two gripper arms, a pivoting device for the gripper arms and a pivot drive for driving the pivoting device having. The invention is characterized in that the pivoting device has vertically arranged axes of rotation in order to move the gripper arms relative to one another and in a plane parallel to a transport plane of trays to be transported. This has the advantage that the gripper arms can on the one hand only have a very small distance to the transport plane in order to be able to grip even shallow trays. On the other hand, a larger lifting movement in relation to the prior art and a space-saving design are possible because the axes of rotation are arranged vertically. The mounting of the axes of rotation allows a very small footprint laterally of the discharge belt or the collecting belt.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausbildung der Schalenverschließmaschine umfasst die Schwenkvorrichtung wenigstens ein Parallelogrammgestänge je Greiferarm, um eine Relativbewegung der Greiferarme zueinander zu ermöglichen, bei der die Greiferarme dauerhaft in der Transportrichtung bzw. parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the tray sealing machine, the pivoting device comprises at least one parallelogram linkage per gripper arm to allow a relative movement of the gripper arms to each other, in which the gripper arms are permanently aligned in the transport direction or parallel to each other.
Bevorzugt ist der Übergabeschlitten durch den Hubantrieb mittels eines Zahnriementriebs antreibbar, um die Trägheit der bewegten Massen des Greifersystems zu minimieren.Preferably, the transfer carriage is driven by the lifting drive by means of a toothed belt drive to minimize the inertia of the moving masses of the gripper system.
Die Schwenkvorrichtung ist vorzugsweise durch den Schwenkantrieb mittels einer ersten und zweiten Welle antreibbar, um den Schwenkantrieb stationär an einem Maschinengestell anbringen zu können. Dies reduziert ebenfalls die bewegte Masse des Greifersystems und diese Ausführung ist wartungsärmer als ein mitbewegter Antrieb mit mechanisch beanspruchten Energieleitungen.The pivoting device is preferably drivable by the pivot drive by means of a first and second shaft to attach the pivot drive stationary to a machine frame can. This also reduces the moving mass of the gripper system and this version is low maintenance than a co-moving drive with mechanically stressed power lines.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind die vertikal angeordneten Drehachsen der Schwenkvorrichtung mittels einer Drehung der Wellen und eines an dem Übergabeschlitten vorgesehenen Hebelmechanismus antreibbar. Entsprechend dem Abstand der Wellen zueinander können hohe Drehmomente vom Schwenkantrieb auf die Schwenkvorrichtung bzw. auf die Parallogrammgestänge und somit auf die Greiferarme übertragen werden.In an advantageous embodiment, the vertically arranged axes of rotation of the pivoting device can be driven by means of a rotation of the shafts and a lever mechanism provided on the transfer carriage. According to the distance of the shafts to each other high torques can be transmitted from the rotary actuator to the pivoting device or to the Parallogrammgestänge and thus to the gripper arms.
Die Führungen für den Übergabeschlitten sind vorzugsweise in Transportrichtung hinter der Siegelstation vorgesehen und beginnen somit erst nach (d. h. stromabwärts) der Siegelstation, um die Hygienequalität zu erhöhen, indem so wenig Bauteile wie möglich oberhalb der noch unverschlossenen Schalen beispielsweise auf dem Sammelband angeordnet sind, auf dem die Schalen mit dem Produkt nach oben offen sind, sodass die Gefahr einer Kontamination der Produkte vor dem Verschließen verringert wird.The guides for the transfer sled are preferably provided in the transport direction behind the sealing station and thus begin only after (ie downstream) the sealing station to increase the hygiene quality by as few components as possible are arranged above the still unclosed shells, for example on the collecting tape on which the trays are open with the product upwards, thus reducing the risk of contamination of the products before closing.
Bevorzugt sind die Führungen und der Übergabeschlitten unterhalb der Transportebene vorgesehen, um die Hygienequalität zu erhöhen, indem so wenig Bauteile wie möglich oberhalb der noch unverschlossenen Schalen beispielsweise auf dem Sammelband angeordnet sind.Preferably, the guides and the transfer sled below the transport plane are provided to increase the hygiene quality by as few components as possible are arranged above the still unclosed shells, for example, on the collection tape.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausführung umfassen der Hubantrieb und/oder der Schwenkantrieb einen Servomotor, um eine hohe Dynamik zu erreichen, und damit beide Antriebe zueinander Bewegungen in einer sehr hohen Genauigkeit ausführen können, die für die Schließbewegung der Greiferarme von Vorteil ist. Im Gegensatz zu Pneumatikzylindern sind alle Zwischenstellungen bei der Greiferarmbewegung mit Servomotoren möglich.In an advantageous embodiment, the lifting drive and / or the pivoting drive comprise a servomotor in order to achieve high dynamics, and thus both drives can perform mutually movements in a very high accuracy, which is advantageous for the closing movement of the gripper arms. In contrast to pneumatic cylinders, all intermediate positions are possible with the gripper arm movement with servomotors.
Bevorzugt sind die Drehachsen mittels eines Hebelmechanismus derart miteinander gekoppelt, dass die Parallelogrammgestänge synchron bewegbar sind, so dass die Position der Greiferarme immer zentrisch zur Verschließvorrichtung bzw. zu den Schalen ist.Preferably, the axes of rotation are coupled to each other by means of a lever mechanism such that the parallelogram linkage are movable synchronously, so that the position of the gripper arms is always centric to the closing device or to the shells.
Die Greiferarme sind vorzugsweise mit einem ihrer Enden mit dem Parallelogrammgestänge verbunden. So ragen nur die Greiferarme in die Verschließvorrichtung und der Übergabeschlitten mit der Schwenkvorrichtung bewegt sich außerhalb der Verschließvorrichtung. Entsprechend platzsparend kann die Verschließvorrichtung ausgeführt werden.The gripper arms are preferably connected at one of their ends to the parallelogram linkage. Thus, only the gripper arms protrude into the closing device and the transfer carriage with the pivoting device moves outside the closing device. According to save space, the closing device can be performed.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausführung sind weitere Führungen und ein weiterer Übergabeschlitten vor der Verschließvorrichtung vorgesehen, wobei die stromaufwärts gerichteten Enden der Greiferarme mittels einer weiteren Schwenkvorrichtung mit dem weiteren Übergabeschlitten verbunden sind. Vor allem bei langen Greifern führt eine weitere Führung auch vor der Verschließvorrichtung zu einer besseren Führung und Verringerung auftretender Schwingungen bei stark beschleunigten Bewegungen, beispielsweise beim Schließen der Greiferarme zum Aufnehmen der Produkte.In a further advantageous embodiment, further guides and a further transfer slide are provided in front of the closing device, wherein the upstream ends of the gripper arms are connected by means of a further pivoting device with the further transfer carriage. Especially with long grippers, another guide also leads before the closing device to a better management and reducing vibrations occurring during highly accelerated movements, for example, when closing the gripper arms for receiving the products.
In einer besonderen Variante weisen die Übergabeschlitten jeweils einen eigenen Antrieb auf.In a particular variant, the transfer sled each have their own drive.
Vorzugsweise weisen die Schwenkvorrichtungen vor und nach der Verschließvorrichtung jeweils eigene Schwenkantriebe auf.The pivoting devices preferably each have their own pivoting drives before and after the closing device.
In einer weiteren Variante sind die Drehachsen der Schwenkvorrichtung gegenüber einer senkrecht zum Sammelband und in Transportrichtung definierten vertikalen Ebene E um einen Winkel ß nach außen geneigt angeordnet, um bei der Schließbewegung der Greiferarme die Schalen teilweise vom Sammelband anzuheben, was die Reibkraft zwischen dem Boden der Schale und dem Sammelband reduziert.In a further variant, the axes of rotation of the pivoting device with respect to a perpendicular to the collecting band and defined in the transport direction vertical plane E are inclined by an angle ß outwardly to partially raise the shells in the closing movement of the gripper arms of the collecting belt, which the frictional force between the bottom of Shell and the anthology reduced.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich nicht nur auf eine einspurige, sondern auch auf eine mehrspurige Schalenverschließmaschine, die in Transportrichtung nebeneinander angeordnete Schalen in der Verschließstation verarbeiten kann.The invention relates not only to a single-track, but also to a multi-lane tray closing machine, which can process in the transport direction side by side arranged trays in the capping station.
