Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cartoning method, particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, and to a cartoning machine, particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, with which to perform the method.
  • Some of these machines allow the execution of cartoning methods that make it possible to place the product packages standing up inside the packaging, arranging them in one, two, three or more rows.
  • the packages can be brought radially closer together with respect to the longitudinal extension of the row, thus enabling the packages in each row to occupy part of the space between two adjacent packages of the next row, space that otherwise would have remained unused.
  • cartoning machines which, by way of the use of manipulator robots, can create the aforementioned intersection of rows.
  • Another drawback of the conventional machines consists in that it is very difficult to create the staggering of the packages when the packages themselves are not mutually uniform.
  • a further drawback of the conventional machines consists in that the manipulator robots have very high investment and maintenance costs.
  • the aim of the present invention consists in devising a cartoning method, particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, which makes it possible to solve and overcome, respectively, the drawbacks and the limitations of the known art.
  • an object of the present invention consists in providing a cartoning machine, particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, with which to carry out the method according to the present invention in a manner that is simple and efficient.
  • Another object of the present invention consists in providing a cartoning machine that makes it possible to cross the different varieties of products while ensuring high processing speeds and offering the widest assurances of operation and reliability.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a cartoning machine that is economically competitive when compared to conventional machines.
  • a cartoning method particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, which is characterized in that it comprises the following steps:
  • a cartoning machine particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, which comprises:
  • the cartoning machine particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, is generally designated by the reference numeral 1.
  • the cartoning machine 1 comprises a gathering station, which is graphically designated by the box 2, in which a plurality of packages 3 is arranged, by way of a positioning device 4, in such a manner that the packages 3 are standing and organized in a row with respect to each other on a working surface 5 of the cartoning machine 1.
  • the cartoning machine 1 comprises a compaction station, which is graphically designated by the box 6, in which the packages 3 are compacted so as to define a compact bundle 7 to be cartoned, which is defined by at least two rows of packages 3 that are alternately mutually offset.
  • two pushers 9 are provided which are substantially comb-shaped and are adapted to move the packages 3 that are arranged on the working surface 5, from the gathering station 2 to the compaction station 6.
  • the two pushers 9 define two pluralities of teeth 10a and 10b that are mutually alternated and can be arranged at the packages 3 in order to perform a translation of all the packages 3 from the gathering station 2 to the compaction station 6 and a movement of part of the packages 3 inside the compaction station 6 by way of the translation of one of the two pushers 9 with respect to the other so as to create two rows of packages 3 which are alternately mutually offset.
  • the teeth 10a and 10b have a V-shaped slot that is defined on the face intended to make contact with the packages 3 so as to prevent the packages 3 from performing transverse movements and/or from sliding on the teeth 10a and 10b during their movement.
  • the working surface 5 is delimited laterally by two side walls 11.
  • the compaction station 6 is advantageously delimited laterally by two movable walls 12 that can be moved mutually closer, in order to compact the packages 3 in at least two alternately mutually offset rows that define the compact bundle 7 to be cartoned, and by fixed walls 20, one of which retracts into the working surface 5 in order to allow the passage of the pushers 9.
  • this is of the type with a partitioned conveyor belt and comprises at least two loading sector trains 13 and 14 that are mutually independent and are adapted to be filled with the packages 3 sequentially with respect to each other, so as to fill one of the two loading sector trains 13 and 14 while the other one is unloaded by the two pushers 9.
  • a loading device 15 of the simple conveyor belt type which is adapted to pick up the packages 3 from a magazine, not shown, to the positioning device 4.
  • the cartoning method particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, which can be executed with the cartoning machine 1 is described hereinafter.
  • the cartoning method begins with a first step of loading the packages 3 on the positioning device 4, which is carried out in a loading station, which is graphically designated by the box 16, by way of using the loading device 15.
  • this loading step comprises the filling with the packages 3 of the two loading sector trains 13 and 14, which are defined by the positioning device 4, sequentially with respect to each other, so as to fill one of the two loading sector trains 13 and 14 while the other one is unloaded by the two pushers 9 in the gathering station 2.
  • such loading step is executed according to an iterative cycle of steps.
  • such iterative cycle of steps comprises the following sub steps:
  • the cartoning method particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, as well as the cartoning machine, particularly for products organized in parallel and mutually staggered rows, according to the invention, achieve the intended aim and objects, in that they make it possible to obtain a bundle of packages that are organized in rows which are alternately mutually offset, simply, quickly and effectively.
  • some operations of the method can be repeated in order to obtain a bundle defined by more than two rows of packages.
