Definitions
- the invention relates to a device by means of folding cartons can be transferred to a transport device.
- folding cartons present as flat blanks in a supply magazine are first removed from the magazine by such a device, then opened and finally transferred through the device to a transport device.
- the transport device then transfers the opened folding boxes into a filling station, in which the folding boxes are filled and closed with one or more products.
- Devices for transferring a carton to a transport device are, for example, from DE 10 2005 017 962 A1 or the DE 10 2007 023 964 A1 known. Such devices usually have one or more arms on which holding devices for the cartons are mounted.
- the holding devices can be designed in particular as suction devices. By holding the flat carton blanks can be taken from a storage magazine and transported. Depending on the size and format of the carton blank, a suction device may have a single or multiple suction cups.
- the arms of the device are driven continuously by a motor drive, so that a uniform rotational movement is performed.
- the carton is replaced by other devices that around the Transfer device are placed around, unfolded.
- the opening can be done in the simplest case by a stop element; For example, in the case of folding cartons that are harder to open, counter-suckers can be used for this purpose.
- the opened carton can then be further processed by, for example, a spreading of the side, glue or insertion tabs.
- the carton is transferred to a transport device. This is done in the simplest case by dropping the carton, causing it falls into a compartment of the transport device and is collected there. Subsequently, a new carton blank can be removed.
- the removal of the carton blank, the opening of the carton and the transfer of the carton to the transport device takes place during a single revolution of each arm.
- the WO 2005/019074 shows a generic type transfer device having a rotatably mounted first arm which is rotatably supported on a substructure via an axis. At this first arm, a second arm is movably supported by a bolt. The second arm is mounted on a guide element on a rail system having at least a straight portion.
- the present invention seeks to provide an improved device for transferring a carton to a transport device, which can be realized economically favorable and allows a defined transfer of the carton to the transport device.
- the device according to the invention is given by the features of the main claim 1. Useful developments of the invention are the subject of further claims appending to the main claim.
- a cartoning machine according to the invention, which has a corresponding transfer device, is given by the features of the independent claim 9.
- the inventive device for transferring a carton to a transport device has at least one arm which is displaceably mounted in a closed-loop rail system.
- This rail system is not circular, but at least a portion of the rail system is formed as a straight line.
- the at least one straight portion of the rail system may be the tangent of the bent portion adjoining this straight portion. This allows a smooth transition within the rail system so that a smooth circulation in the rail system mounted arm is made possible.
- At least two sections of the rail system may be formed as a straight line, these two straight sections lying opposite each other.
- the rail system typically needs to be made significantly larger than the prior art circular rail systems.
- the footprint of the rail system at two opposing straight sections is about the same or even slightly less than the circular rail systems of the prior art.
- on the side of the rail system opposite the transfer area there is a second area within which a processing of the folding box during a linear movement is possible. This simplifies the processing of the box, especially in such Folding boxes that need to be opened more complex or more complex.
- the two opposite straight sections can in particular be parallel to each other.
- the rail system is thus somewhat flatter than in the known circular rail systems, so that a particularly compact design is made possible.
- a bent portion may be provided between each of two straight portions, the bent portion preferably being in the form of a circle segment of constant radius.
- the straight section can in each case represent the tangent of the circle segment, so that a particularly smooth transition is possible.
- the rail system may have a first straight section, followed by a first curved section.
- This second curved section is adjoined by a second straight section, followed by a second curved section.
- This second curved section then opens into the first straight section, whereby a closed rail system is formed.
- the two bent portions may each have approximately the shape of a semicircle with a constant radius. In this way, the two straight sections can be formed as long as possible, with a compact design of the rail system is still possible.
- remains for the processing of the carton and the removal of the carton from a storage magazine still the previous circular path obtained, so that no reorientation of the corresponding processing devices and the storage magazine must be done in a corresponding cartoning.
- the transfer device has at least one rotatably mounted first arm.
- a second arm is movably mounted, wherein the second arm can be slidably mounted in the rail system.
- a plurality of first arms may be present, on each of which a second arm is movably mounted.
- four or six first arms may be present in a device according to the invention.
- the second arm is fastened to the first arm via a lever element. This lever element causes the second arm is pulled down behind the first arm, so that it is moved particularly quietly in the rail system.
- the first arm can perform a particularly uniform rotation, since this first arm does not have to be mounted directly in the rail system.
- a holding device for the folding boxes may preferably be arranged on the arm mounted in the rail system.
- the holding device can be designed in particular as a suction device.
- the holding device can have a single holding element-for example, suction element or gripping element-or several holding elements whose arrangement can be dependent on the dimension of the respective carton.
- the holding device can be rotatably mounted on this arm in a preferred embodiment. This makes it possible to rotate the holding device to the outside, for example, the carton to be removed from the storage magazine. Subsequently, the holding device can be rotated inwards again in order to be able to pass through the individual processing stations along the transfer device.
- the arm mounted in the rail system may have a separate drive which causes the movement of the arm within the rail system.
- This drive may in particular be a linear drive.
- the transfer device according to the invention can be used in particular in a cartoning machine for packaging a product into a folding box.
- a cartoning machine has in addition to the transfer device according to the invention a storage magazine for the flat carton blanks and a transport device to which the unfolded carton is transferred from the transfer device at least a straight portion of the rail system of the transfer device is approximately parallel to the starting area the transport device.
- This initial region of the transport device is that region into which the unfolded folding box is transferred.
- transfer device 10 shown has a cross-shaped arm system 12 which is rotatable about a perpendicular to the plane extending central axis 14 and is rotated during operation by a motor drive not shown here in the counterclockwise direction.
- the cross-shaped arm system 12 has in the present example a total of four first arms 20. At the outer end portion of each arm, a lever member 22 is rotatably mounted. The other end of the lever member 22 is also rotatably mounted on a second arm 24. On the second arm 24, a joint member 26 is pivotally mounted, so that a holding device, not shown in the drawing pivoted outwards and then "retracted" can be.
- the individual arms 20 Upon rotation of the arm system 12 in the counterclockwise direction, the individual arms 20 perform a uniform or cyclic rotational movement on a circumferential circular path. By the arms 20, the individual lever elements 22 are also moved along with their moving on the arms 20 ends on a circular path. By the lever members 22 and the second arms 24 are moved.
- the arms 24 are mounted with a guide element not shown in the drawing in a circumferential rail system 40.
- This rail system 40 has no circumferential circular path, but rather the rail system 40 has two straight sections 42, 44 and two bent sections 46, 48.
- the two straight sections 42, 44 run parallel to one another. They are interconnected by the two bent sections 46, 48.
- the two bent portions 46, 48 each have approximately the shape of a semicircle with a constant radius.
- the straight sections 42, 44 represent the tangents of the respectively subsequent curved section 46, 48, so that a smooth and smooth transition is given within the rail system 40, which leads to a continuous movement of the transfer device 10.
- a member 50 is rotatably mounted on the hinge element 26, which carries the holding device for transporting the folding boxes.
- the element 50 is coupled to the second arm 24 by means of a drive element such that upon rotation of the transfer device 10, the element 50 is always in the same rotational position with respect to the second arm 24, that is, the angle between the longitudinal axis of the Element 50 and the longitudinal axis of the second arm 24 remains the same.
- the joint element 26 furthermore has an individual drive via a gear 60.
- this individual drive the joint element 26 can be rotated together with the element 50, so that the flat carton blanks can be removed from the storage magazine.
- this rotation can provide a constant speed during carton transport along sections 44, 46 and 42 to allow easy and reproducible processing and opening of the cartons in this area.
- a transport device may be provided which has a plurality of spaced along driving finger, between each of which a compartment is formed, in each of which a carton can be used. These compartments can be filled by the transfer device from above, each with a carton, with the straight section 42 of the rail system 40, a controlled filling of the individual chambers is possible.
- two obliquely extending straight sections may be provided, each connected by a bent section.
- the bent portions could be made as circle segments having a constant radius as described above.
- the corresponding transfer device could in this case also allow a compact design.
- the rail system 40 could also have only a straight section.
- the two ends of the straight section would be connected by a single bent section.
- this bent portion should not have a constant radius in this case because the transition between the straight portion and the bent portion should be tangential. This would require a relatively large rail system so that the transfer devices known in the art would build somewhat smaller.
- four straight sections could be provided, which can be interconnected by curved sections in the form of a quarter circle.
- the rail system in this case would have the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung, mittels der Faltschachteln an eine Transportvorrichtung übergeben werden können. In der Regel werden die als flache Zuschnitte in einem Vorratsmagazin vorhandenen Faltschachteln durch eine solche Vorrichtung zunächst aus dem Magazin entnommen, anschließend geöffnet und abschließend durch die Vorrichtung an eine Transportvorrichtung übergeben. Die Transportvorrichtung überführt die geöffneten Faltschachteln dann in eine Befüllstation, in der die Faltschachteln mit einem oder mit mehreren Produkten befüllt und verschlossen werden.The invention relates to a device by means of folding cartons can be transferred to a transport device. As a rule, folding cartons present as flat blanks in a supply magazine are first removed from the magazine by such a device, then opened and finally transferred through the device to a transport device. The transport device then transfers the opened folding boxes into a filling station, in which the folding boxes are filled and closed with one or more products.
Vorrichtungen zum Ăśbergeben einer Faltschachtel an eine Transportvorrichtung sind beispielsweise aus der
Die Arme der Vorrichtung werden über einen motorischen Antrieb kontinuierlich angetrieben, so dass eine gleichförmige Drehbewegung ausgeführt wird. Nach dem Entnehmen eines Faltschachtel-Zuschnitts wird die Faltschachtel durch weitere Vorrichtungen, die um die Übergabe-Vorrichtung herum platziert sind, aufgefaltet. Das Öffnen kann im einfachsten Fall durch ein Anschlag-Element erfolgen; bei schwerer zu öffnenden Faltschachteln können dazu beispielsweise Gegensauger eingesetzt werden. Die geöffnete Faltschachtel kann anschließend weiter bearbeitet werden, indem beispielsweise ein Spreizen der Seiten-, Leim- oder Stecklaschen erfolgt. Abschließend wird die Faltschachtel an eine Transportvorrichtung übergeben. Dies erfolgt im einfachsten Fall durch ein Fallenlassen der Faltschachtel, wodurch diese in ein Fach der Transportvorrichtung fällt und dort aufgefangen wird. Anschließend kann ein neuer Faltschachtel-Zuschnitt entnommen werden. Das Entnehmen des Faltschachtel-Zuschnitts, das Öffnen der Faltschachtel und die Übergabe der Faltschachtel an die Transportvorrichtung erfolgt dabei während eines einzigen Umlaufs des jeweiligen Arms.The arms of the device are driven continuously by a motor drive, so that a uniform rotational movement is performed. After removing a carton blank, the carton is replaced by other devices that around the Transfer device are placed around, unfolded. The opening can be done in the simplest case by a stop element; For example, in the case of folding cartons that are harder to open, counter-suckers can be used for this purpose. The opened carton can then be further processed by, for example, a spreading of the side, glue or insertion tabs. Finally, the carton is transferred to a transport device. This is done in the simplest case by dropping the carton, causing it falls into a compartment of the transport device and is collected there. Subsequently, a new carton blank can be removed. The removal of the carton blank, the opening of the carton and the transfer of the carton to the transport device takes place during a single revolution of each arm.
Aufgrund der kreisförmigen Bewegung des ersten Arms steht für die Übergabe der geöffneten Faltschachtel an die Transportvorrichtung nur eine sehr geringe Zeitspanne zur Verfügung. Auch erfordert eine gezielte Übergabe an die Transportvorrichtung, bei der die geöffnete Faltschachtel in das entsprechende Fach der Transportrichtung synchron eingesetzt wird und nicht lediglich in dieses hineinfällt, ein exaktes Timing und eine sehr genaue Ausrichtung der beiden Vorrichtungen zueinander. Dies bedingt eine komplexe Bauweise und häufig auch zusätzliche Kosten. Die
Ausgehend von diesem vorbekannten Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Vorrichtung zum Übergeben einer Faltschachtel an eine Transportvorrichtung anzugeben, die wirtschaftlich günstig realisiert werden kann und eine definierte Übergabe der Faltschachtel an die Transportvorrichtung ermöglicht.Based on this prior art, the present invention seeks to provide an improved device for transferring a carton to a transport device, which can be realized economically favorable and allows a defined transfer of the carton to the transport device.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist durch die Merkmale des Hauptanspruchs 1 gegeben. Sinnvolle Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand von sich an den Hauptanspruch anschließenden weiteren Ansprüchen. Eine erfindungsgemäße Kartoniermaschine, die über eine entsprechende Übergabe-Vorrichtung verfügt, ist durch die Merkmale des nebengeordneten Anspruchs 9 gegeben.The device according to the invention is given by the features of the main claim 1. Useful developments of the invention are the subject of further claims appending to the main claim. A cartoning machine according to the invention, which has a corresponding transfer device, is given by the features of the independent claim 9.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Übergeben einer Faltschachtel an eine Transportvorrichtung besitzt zumindest einen Arm, der in einem geschlossen umlaufenden Schienensystem verschieblich gelagert ist. Dieses Schienensystem ist nicht kreisförmig ausgebildet, vielmehr ist zumindest ein Abschnitt des Schienensystems als Gerade ausgebildet.The inventive device for transferring a carton to a transport device has at least one arm which is displaceably mounted in a closed-loop rail system. This rail system is not circular, but at least a portion of the rail system is formed as a straight line.
Vorzugsweise kann der zumindest eine gerade Abschnitt des Schienensystems die Tangente des sich an diesen geraden Abschnitt anschließenden gebogenen Abschnitts darstellen. Dies ermöglicht einen fließenden Übergang innerhalb des Schienensystems, so dass ein gleichmäßiger Umlauf in dem Schienensystem gelagerten Arms ermöglicht wird.Preferably, the at least one straight portion of the rail system may be the tangent of the bent portion adjoining this straight portion. This allows a smooth transition within the rail system so that a smooth circulation in the rail system mounted arm is made possible.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform können zumindest zwei Abschnitte des Schienensystems als Gerade ausgebildet sein, wobei diese beiden geraden Abschnitte einander gegenüber liegen. Bei einem einzelnen geraden Abschnitt innerhalb des Schienensystems muss das Schienensystem in der Regel deutlich größer ausgebildet werden als bei den kreisförmigen Schienensystemen aus dem Stand der Technik. Demgegenüber ist der Platzbedarf des Schienensystems bei zwei gegenüber liegenden geraden Abschnitten in etwa der gleiche oder sogar etwas geringer als bei den kreisförmigen Schienensystemen aus dem Stand der Technik. Darüber hinaus besteht auf der dem Übergabebereich gegenüber liegenden Seite des Schienensystems auf diese Weise ein zweiter Bereich, innerhalb dessen eine Bearbeitung der Faltschachtel während einer linearen Bewegung möglich ist. Dies vereinfacht die Bearbeitung der Schachtel, insbesondere bei solchen Faltschachteln, die komplexer oder aufwändiger geöffnet werden müssen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, at least two sections of the rail system may be formed as a straight line, these two straight sections lying opposite each other. For a single straight section within the rail system, the rail system typically needs to be made significantly larger than the prior art circular rail systems. In contrast, the footprint of the rail system at two opposing straight sections is about the same or even slightly less than the circular rail systems of the prior art. In addition, on the side of the rail system opposite the transfer area, in this way there is a second area within which a processing of the folding box during a linear movement is possible. This simplifies the processing of the box, especially in such Folding boxes that need to be opened more complex or more complex.
Bei einem solchen Schienensystem mit zumindest zwei geraden Abschnitten können die beiden einander gegenüber liegenden geraden Abschnitte insbesondere parallel zueinander verlaufen. Das Schienensystem ist dadurch etwas flacher als bei den bekannten kreisförmigen Schienensystemen, so dass ein besonders kompakter Aufbau ermöglicht wird.In such a rail system with at least two straight sections, the two opposite straight sections can in particular be parallel to each other. The rail system is thus somewhat flatter than in the known circular rail systems, so that a particularly compact design is made possible.
Zwischen zwei geraden Abschnitten kann jeweils ein gebogener Abschnitt vorgesehen werden, wobei der gebogene Abschnitt vorzugsweise die Form eines Kreissegments mit konstantem Radius aufweisen kann. Der gerade Abschnitt kann dabei jeweils die Tangente des Kreissegments darstellen, so dass ein besonders fließender Übergang möglich ist.A bent portion may be provided between each of two straight portions, the bent portion preferably being in the form of a circle segment of constant radius. The straight section can in each case represent the tangent of the circle segment, so that a particularly smooth transition is possible.
In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform kann das Schienensystem einen ersten geraden Abschnitt besitzen, an den sich ein erster gebogener Abschnitt anschließt. An diesen ersten gebogenen Abschnitt schließt sich ein zweiter gerader Abschnitt an, an den sich wiederum ein zweiter gebogener Abschnitt anschließt. Dieser zweite gebogene abschnitt mündet dann in den ersten geraden Abschnitt, wodurch ein geschlossenes Schienensystem gebildet wird. Dabei können die beiden gebogenen Abschnitte jeweils etwa die Form eines Halbkreises mit konstantem Radius aufweisen. Auf diese Weise können die beiden geraden Abschnitte möglichst lang ausgebildet werden, wobei nach wie vor eine kompakte Bauweise des Schienensystems möglich ist. Darüber hinaus bleibt für die Bearbeitung der Faltschachtel und die Entnahme der Faltschachtel aus einem Vorratsmagazin nach wie vor die bisherige Kreisbahn erhalten, so dass keine Neuausrichtung der entsprechenden Bearbeitungsvorrichtungen und des Vorratsmagazins bei einer entsprechenden Kartoniermaschine erfolgen muss. Die Übergabe-Vorrichtung verfügt über zumindest einen rotierbar gelagerten ersten Arm. An diesem ersten Arm ist ein zweiter Arm beweglich gelagert, wobei der zweite Arm verschieblich in dem Schienensystem gelagert sein kann. Um die Effektivität der Vorrichtung zu erhöhen, können mehrere erste Arme vorhanden sein, an denen jeweils ein zweiter Arm beweglich gelagert ist. Insbesondere können vier oder sechs erste Arme bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung vorhanden sein. Erfindungsgemäß ist der zweite Arm über ein Hebelelement an dem ersten Arm befestigt. Dieses Hebelelement führt dazu, dass der zweite Arm quasi hinter dem ersten Arm hergezogen wird, so dass dieser besonders ruhig in dem Schienensystem verfahren wird. Gleichzeitig kann der erste Arm eine besonders gleichmäßige Rotation durchführen, da dieser erste Arm nicht direkt in dem Schienensystem gelagert sein muss.In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the rail system may have a first straight section, followed by a first curved section. This second curved section is adjoined by a second straight section, followed by a second curved section. This second curved section then opens into the first straight section, whereby a closed rail system is formed. In this case, the two bent portions may each have approximately the shape of a semicircle with a constant radius. In this way, the two straight sections can be formed as long as possible, with a compact design of the rail system is still possible. In addition, remains for the processing of the carton and the removal of the carton from a storage magazine still the previous circular path obtained, so that no reorientation of the corresponding processing devices and the storage magazine must be done in a corresponding cartoning. The transfer device has at least one rotatably mounted first arm. At this first arm, a second arm is movably mounted, wherein the second arm can be slidably mounted in the rail system. To increase the effectiveness of the device, a plurality of first arms may be present, on each of which a second arm is movably mounted. In particular, four or six first arms may be present in a device according to the invention. According to the invention, the second arm is fastened to the first arm via a lever element. This lever element causes the second arm is pulled down behind the first arm, so that it is moved particularly quietly in the rail system. At the same time, the first arm can perform a particularly uniform rotation, since this first arm does not have to be mounted directly in the rail system.
An dem in dem Schienensystem gelagerten Arm kann vorzugsweise eine Halteeinrichtung für die Faltschachteln angeordnet sein. Die Halteeinrichtung kann dabei insbesondere als Saugeinrichtung ausgebildet sein. Abhängig von der Größe und dem Gewicht der zu transportierenden Faltschachtel kann die Halteeinrichtung über ein einzelnes Halteelement - beispielsweise Saugelement oder Greifelement - verfügen oder über mehrere Halteelemente, deren Anordnung abhängig von der Abmessung der jeweiligen Faltschachtel sein kann.A holding device for the folding boxes may preferably be arranged on the arm mounted in the rail system. The holding device can be designed in particular as a suction device. Depending on the size and weight of the carton to be transported, the holding device can have a single holding element-for example, suction element or gripping element-or several holding elements whose arrangement can be dependent on the dimension of the respective carton.
Die Halteeinrichtung kann in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform drehbar an diesem Arm gelagert sein. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Halteeinrichtung nach außen zu drehen, um beispielsweise die Faltschachtel aus dem Vorratsmagazin entnehmen zu können. Anschließend kann die Halteeinrichtung wieder nach innen gedreht werden, um die einzelnen Bearbeitungsstationen entlang der Übergabe-Vorrichtung passieren zu können.The holding device can be rotatably mounted on this arm in a preferred embodiment. This makes it possible to rotate the holding device to the outside, for example, the carton to be removed from the storage magazine. Subsequently, the holding device can be rotated inwards again in order to be able to pass through the individual processing stations along the transfer device.
In einer weiteren vorteilhaften AusfĂĽhrungsform kann der in dem Schienensystem gelagert Arm ĂĽber einen separaten Antrieb verfĂĽgen, der die Bewegung des Arms innerhalb des Schienensystems bewirkt. Bei diesem Antrieb kann es sich insbesondere um einen Linearantrieb handeln.In a further advantageous embodiment, the arm mounted in the rail system may have a separate drive which causes the movement of the arm within the rail system. This drive may in particular be a linear drive.
Die erfindungsgemäße Übergabe-Vorrichtung kann insbesondere bei einer Kartoniermaschine zum Verpacken eines Produkts in eine Faltschachtel eingesetzt werden. Eine solche Kartoniermaschine besitzt neben der erfindungsgemäßen Übergabe-Vorrichtung ein Vorratsmagazin für die flachen Faltschachtel-Zuschnitte und eine Transportvorrichtung, an die die aufgefaltete Faltschachtel von der Übergabe-Vorrichtung übergeben wird Zumindest ein gerader Abschnitt des Schienensystems der Übergabe-Vorrichtung verläuft etwa parallel zu dem Anfangsbereich der Transportvorrichtung. Dieser Anfangsbereich der Transportvorrichtung ist dabei derjenige Bereich, in den die aufgefaltete Faltschachtel übergeben wird.The transfer device according to the invention can be used in particular in a cartoning machine for packaging a product into a folding box. Such a cartoning machine has in addition to the transfer device according to the invention a storage magazine for the flat carton blanks and a transport device to which the unfolded carton is transferred from the transfer device at least a straight portion of the rail system of the transfer device is approximately parallel to the starting area the transport device. This initial region of the transport device is that region into which the unfolded folding box is transferred.

Die Arme 24 sind mit einem in der Zeichnung nicht näher dargestellten Führungselement in einem umlaufenden Schienensystem 40 gelagert. Dieses Schienensystem 40 weist keine umlaufende Kreisbahn auf, vielmehr besitzt das Schienensystem 40 zwei gerade Abschnitte 42, 44 und zwei gebogene Abschnitte 46, 48. Die beiden geraden Abschnitte 42, 44 verlaufen parallel zueinander. Sie werden durch die beiden gebogenen Abschnitte 46, 48 miteinander verbunden. Die beiden gebogenen Abschnitt 46, 48 weisen jeweils etwa die Form eines Halbkreises mit konstantem Radius auf. Die geraden Abschnitte 42, 44 stellen dabei die Tangenten des jeweils anschließenden gebogenen Abschnitts 46, 48 dar, so dass ein weicher und fließender Übergang innerhalb des Schienensystems 40 gegeben ist, der zu einer kontinuierlichen Bewegung der Übergabe-Vorrichtung 10 führt.The
Im vorliegenden Beispielsfall ist an dem Gelenkelement 26 ein Element 50 drehbar gelagert, das die Halteeinrichtung zum Transportieren der Faltschachteln trägt. Das Element 50 ist mittels eines Antriebselements so mit dem zweiten Arm 24 gekoppelt, dass bei der Rotation der Übergabe-Vorrichtung 10 das Element 50 in Bezug auf den zweiten Arm 24 immer in der gleichen Drehposition vorhanden ist, dass also der Winkel zwischen der Längsachse des Elements 50 und der Längsachse des zweiten Arms 24 gleich bleibt.In the present example case, a
Das Gelenkelement 26 weist darüber hinaus einen individuellen Antrieb über ein Getriebe 60 auf. Durch diesen individuellen Antrieb kann das Gelenkelement 26 gemeinsam mit dem Element 50 rotiert werden, so dass die flachen Faltschachtel-Zuschnitte aus dem Vorratsmagazin entnommen werden können. Darüber hinaus kann durch diese Rotation eine konstante Geschwindigkeit während des Faltschachtel-Transports entlang der Abschnitte 44, 46 und 42 erzeugt werden, um eine einfache und reproduzierbare Bearbeitung und Öffnung der Faltschachteln in diesem Bereich zu ermöglichen.The
Im Bereich des unteren geraden Abschnitts 42 der Übergabe-Vorrichtung 10 kann eine Transportvorrichtung vorgesehen werden, die mehrere auf Abstand angeordnete Mitnahmefinger besitzt, zwischen denen jeweils ein Fach gebildet wird, in das jeweils eine Faltschachtel eingesetzt werden kann. Diese Fächer können von der Übergabe-Vorrichtung von oben mit jeweils einer Faltschachtel befüllt werden, wobei durch den geraden Abschnitt 42 des Schienensystems 40 ein kontrolliertes Befüllen der einzelnen Kammern möglich ist.In the region of the lower
Durch die Möglichkeit einer solchen definierten Übergabe der Faltschachtel an die Transporteinrichtung kann der Einschub des Produkts in die Faltschachtel nunmehr sowohl von der Bedienseite als auch von der gegenüber liegenden Seite erfolgen. Regelmäßig erfolgt der Einschub bislang von der Bedienseite, da die in der Faltschachtel vorherrschende Vorspannung - bedingt durch den Transport und die Lagerung als flache Zuschnitte - ansonsten zu einem Zusammenfallen der noch unbefüllten Faltschachteln führen würde, was den Einschub des Produkts verhindern würde. Ein Einschub von der der Bedienseite gegenüber liegenden Seite steigert die Zugänglichkeit der Kartoniermaschine, was die Kontrolle der Maschine im laufenden Betrieb deutlich erleichtert.Due to the possibility of such a defined transfer of the carton to the transport device, the insertion of the product into the carton can now take place both from the operating side and from the opposite side. Regular insertion takes place So far from the operating side, since the prevailing in the carton bias - due to the transport and storage as flat blanks - would otherwise lead to a collapse of the still unfilled cartons, which would prevent the insertion of the product. An insert from the side opposite the operating side increases the accessibility of the cartoning machine, which makes it much easier to control the machine during operation.
Abhängig von der Anzahl und Komplexität der um die Übergabe-Vorrichtung herum platzierten weiteren Vorrichtungen zum Öffnen der Faltschachtel können anstelle von zwei parallelen geraden Abschnitten auch zwei schräg zueinander verlaufende gerade Abschnitte vorgesehen werden, die jeweils durch einen gebogenen Abschnitt miteinander verbunden wären. In diesem Fall könnten die gebogenen Abschnitte wie oben beschrieben als Kreissegmente mit einem konstanten Radius ausgeführt werden. Die entsprechende Übergabe-Vorrichtung könnte in diesem Fall ebenfalls einen kompakten Aufbau ermöglichen.Depending on the number and complexity of the folding box opening devices placed around the transfer device, instead of two parallel straight sections, two obliquely extending straight sections may be provided, each connected by a bent section. In this case, the bent portions could be made as circle segments having a constant radius as described above. The corresponding transfer device could in this case also allow a compact design.
Im Gegensatz zu dem hier dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel könnte das Schienensystem 40 auch lediglich einen geraden Abschnitt aufweisen. In diesem Fall wären die beiden Enden des geraden Abschnittes durch einen einzigen gebogenen Abschnitt verbunden. Dieser gebogene Abschnitt sollte in diesem Fall jedoch keinen konstanten Radius aufweisen, da der Übergang zwischen dem geraden Abschnitt und dem gebogenen Abschnitt tangential erfolgen sollte. Dadurch wäre ein verhältnismäßig großes Schienensystem erforderlich, so dass die im Stand der Technik bekannten Übergabe-Vorrichtungen etwas kleiner bauen würden.In contrast to the exemplary embodiment illustrated here, the
Alternativ dazu könnten auch vier gerade Abschnitte vorgesehen werden, die durch gebogene Abschnitte in Form eines Viertelkreises miteinander verbunden werden können. Das Schienensystem würde in diesem Fall die Form eines Rechtecks mit abgerundeten Ecken aufweisen.Alternatively, four straight sections could be provided, which can be interconnected by curved sections in the form of a quarter circle. The rail system in this case would have the shape of a rectangle with rounded corners.
