Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Füllvorrichtung zum Befüllen von Blisternäpfen in Blisterbahnen mit Produkten, insbesondere Dragees und Tabletten, sowie eine Füllstation mit einer solchen Füllvorrichtung.The present invention relates to a filling device for filling Blisteräpfen in blister webs with products, especially dragees and tablets, and a filling station with such a filling device.
Blisterbahnen werden häufig in der pharmazeutischen Industrie bei der Verpackung von Medikamenten verwendet. Hierbei wird zunächst in eine Folienmaterialbahn eine Vielzahl von Blisternäpfen geformt, wodurch die Blisterbahn gebildet wird. In die Näpfe der Blisterbahn werden Produkte, wie etwa Dragees oder Tabletten, eingebracht. Anschließend wird die Blisterbahn mit den gefüllten Blisternäpfen mit einer Deckfolie versiegelt und einer Stanzstation zugeführt, in der die jeweiligen Blisterverpackungen aus der versiegelten Blisterbahn ausgestanzt werden.Blister sheets are often used in the pharmaceutical industry in the packaging of medicines. Here, a plurality of blister cups is first formed in a film material web, whereby the blister sheet is formed. In the wells of the blister sheet products, such as dragees or tablets are introduced. Subsequently, the blister sheet is sealed with the filled Blesternäpfen with a cover sheet and fed to a punching station in which the respective blister packs are punched out of the sealed blister sheet.
Die Befüllung der Blisternäpfe erfolgt bei einer bekannten Füllvorrichtung über eine Füllschachteinheit mit mehreren vertikalen Füllschächten, die über den Blisternäpfen positioniert werden. Von einem Sammelbehälter aus gelangen die Produkte vereinzelt in die Füllschächte und fallen vertikal nach unten in die darunter befindlichen Blisternäpfe.The filling of the blister pots takes place in a known filling device via a filling shaft unit with a plurality of vertical filling shafts, which are positioned over the Blesternäpfen. The products occasionally enter the hopper from a collection container and fall vertically downwards into the blister pots below.
Insbesondere bei flachen Tablettenformen kommt es jedoch vor, dass die Tabletten in den Blisternäpfen nicht wie gewünscht zum Liegen kommen, sondern in einer mehr oder weniger aufrechten Position verbleiben. Dabei besteht das Problem, dass die aus den Blisternäpfen herausragenden Tabletten Probleme beim Versiegeln der Blisterbahn mit sich bringen würden. Daher werden in solchen Fällen in der Regel Sicherungssysteme ausgelöst, was wiederum zu einem kompletten Maschinenstopp führen kann. Insofern müssen die aufrecht stehenden Tabletten in den Blisternäpfen möglichst rasch und zuverlässig in die flache Ausrichtung umgelegt werden.In particular, in flat tablet forms, it happens, however, that the tablets in the blister cups do not come to rest as desired, but remain in a more or less upright position. The problem is that the tablets protruding from the blister cups would cause problems in sealing the blister sheet. Therefore, in such cases, usually fuse systems triggered, which in turn can lead to a complete machine stop. In this respect, the upright tablets in the blister cups must be transferred as quickly and reliably in the flat orientation.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine verbesserte Füllvorrichtung zum Befüllen von Blisternäpfen zu schaffen, bei der sichergestellt werden kann, dass die in die Blisternäpfe eingebrachten Produkte in der gewünschten Ausrichtung vorliegen.The invention has for its object to provide an improved filling device for filling Blesternäpfen, in which it can be ensured that the introduced into the blister bowls products are in the desired orientation.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Erfindungsgemäß wird eine Füllvorrichtung zum Befüllen von Blisternäpfen mit Produkten, insbesondere Dragees oder Tabletten, vorgeschlagen mit einer Füllschachteinheit, die mehrere Füllschächte aufweist, die sich in einer im Wesentlichen vertikalen Richtung erstrecken und untere Füllschachtenden haben. Im Bereich der unteren Füllschachtenden sind Auslaufelemente an der Füllschachteinheit befestigt, die derart schwenkbeweglich gelagert oder schwenkelastisch ausgebildet sind, dass zumindest ein unteres Ende jedes Auslaufelements in wenigstens einer Richtung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung bewegbar ist.According to the invention, a filling device for filling blister cups with products, in particular dragees or tablets, is proposed with a filling shaft unit which has a plurality of filling shafts which extend in a substantially vertical direction and have lower filling shaft ends. In the region of the lower hopper end, outflow elements are fastened to the hopper unit, which are mounted such that they are pivotably or pivotally elastic such that at least one lower end of each outflow element can be moved in at least one direction substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction.
Der Vorteil dieser Ausgestaltung besteht darin, dass durch die Anordnung der Auslaufelemente im Bereich der unteren Füllschachtenden der Vorgang des Umlegens der Produkte unmittelbar nach dem Einbringen der Produkte in die Blisternäpfe erfolgen kann. Eine separate Umlegestation kann hiermit entfallen und der Füllvorgang wird verkürzt.The advantage of this embodiment is that can be done by the arrangement of the outlet elements in the region of the lower Füllschachtenden the process of flipping the products immediately after the introduction of the products in the blister pots. A separate transfer station can hereby be omitted and the filling process is shortened.
Vorzugsweise ist jedes der Auslaufelemente formstabil ausgebildet. Dadurch kann jedes Auslaufelement als Ganzes in Schwenkbewegung versetzt werden, wodurch ein kontrolliertes und zuverlässiges Umlegen der Produkte möglich ist. Aufgrund der Formstabilität können die Auslaufelemente jeweils ihr Eigengewicht optimal nutzen und infolge der Schwenkbewegung die gewünschte Umlegekraft auf die Produkte aufbringen.Preferably, each of the outlet elements is dimensionally stable. As a result, each outlet element can be set as a whole in pivotal movement, whereby a controlled and reliable transfer of the products is possible. Due to the dimensional stability of the outlet elements can each use their own weight optimally and apply the desired Umlegekraft due to the pivoting force on the products.
In weiterer Ausgestaltung ist jedes Auslaufelement um eine Drehachse schwenkbar, die im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung verläuft. Diese Anordnung ermöglicht eine pendelartige Schwenkbewegung des Auslaufelements, bei der ein maximaler auf das Produkt zu übertragender Umlegeimpuls im Scheitelpunkt der Pendelbewegung erzielbar ist. Darüber hinaus begünstigt die Verschwenkbarkeit um eine Drehachse senkrecht zur Vertikalen eine kontrolliert geführte Schwenkbewegung der Auslaufelemente.In a further embodiment, each outlet element is pivotable about an axis of rotation which is substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. This arrangement allows a pendulum-like pivoting movement of the outlet element, in which a maximum to be transmitted to the product Umlegeimpuls at the apex of the pendulum motion can be achieved. In addition, the pivotability about a rotation axis perpendicular to the vertical promotes a controlled guided pivotal movement of the outlet elements.
Bei einer alternativen Ausgestaltung ist jedes Auslaufelement aus einem elastischen Material gebildet.In an alternative embodiment, each outlet element is formed of an elastic material.
Weiterhin ist es bevorzugt, dass die Füllschachteinheit senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung bewegbar ist, wobei eine Bewegung der Füllschachteinheit senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung eine Schwenkbewegung der Auslaufelemente bewirkt. Mit Vorteil können durch die Bewegung der Füllschachteinheit sämtliche Auslaufelemente in Schwenkbewegung versetzt werden. Spezielle Antriebe für die Auslaufelemente sind nicht erforderlich. Um die Auslaufelemente kontrolliert in Bewegung versetzen zu können, ist vorzugsweise eine erste Bewegungseinrichtung vorgesehen zum Hin- und Herbewegen der Füllvorrichtung in Richtung senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung.Furthermore, it is preferred that the filling shaft unit is movable perpendicular to the vertical direction, wherein a movement of the filling shaft unit perpendicular to the vertical direction causes a pivoting movement of the outlet elements. Advantageously, by the movement of the hopper unit all outlet elements in pivotal movement be offset. Special drives for the outlet elements are not required. In order to be able to set the outlet elements controlled in motion, preferably a first movement means is provided for reciprocating the filling device in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
Darüber hinaus ist in vorteilhafter Weise die Füllschachteinheit auch in vertikaler Richtung bewegbar. Damit kann die Füllschachteinheit in eine Grundstellung gebracht werden, in der sie so weit von den zu befüllenden Blisternäpfen nach oben beabstandet ist, dass bereits eingelegte Produkte nicht beschädigt werden. Um die Produkte in die Blisternäpfe einzulegen, kann die Füllschachteinheit auf einen sehr kurzen Abstand zu den zu befüllenden Blisternäpfen abgesenkt werden.In addition, the hopper unit is also movable in the vertical direction in an advantageous manner. Thus, the hopper unit can be brought into a basic position in which it is so far away from the to be filled blister cups up that already inserted products are not damaged. To insert the products into the blister pots, the hopper unit can be lowered to a very short distance to the blister cups to be filled.
Es ist weiterhin bevorzugt, dass jedes Auslaufelement eine Streifenform aufweist. Durch die Streifenform des Auslaufelements wird der Radius der Auslenk- oder Pendelbewegung vergrößert, so dass eine verbesserte Umlegewirkung erzielt wird.It is further preferred that each outlet element has a strip shape. Due to the strip shape of the outlet element, the radius of the deflection or pendulum movement is increased, so that an improved Umlegewirkung is achieved.
Bevorzugt weist jeder Füllschacht einen Innenflächenabschnitt und jedes Auslaufelement einen Außenflächenabschnitt auf, wobei jedes Auslaufelement zwischen einer ersten Position, in der sich der Außenflächenabschnitt des Auslaufelements in vertikaler Richtung erstreckt, und zweiten Positionen, in denen der Außenflächenabschnitt des Auslaufelements relativ zu dem Innenflächenabschnitt des Füllschachts geneigt ist, bewegbar ist.Preferably, each hopper has an inner surface portion and each spout member has an outer surface portion, wherein each spout member inclines between a first position in which the outer surface portion of the spout member extends in the vertical direction and second positions in which the outer surface portion of the spout member is inclined relative to the inner surface portion of the hopper is, is movable.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn der Innenflächenabschnitt des Füllschachts und der Außenflächenabschnitt des Auslaufelements in vertikaler Richtung aneinander angrenzen und miteinander fluchten, so dass die Produkte eine durchgängige Führung ohne Unterbrechung bis zu den Blisternäpfen erfahren.It is particularly advantageous if the inner surface portion of the feed chute and the outer surface portion of the discharge element in the vertical direction adjacent to each other and aligned, so that the products undergo a continuous guide without interruption up to the Blisteräpfen.
Je nach Elastizität des Materials ist das Auslaufelement in den zweiten Positionen gerade oder gekrümmt.Depending on the elasticity of the material, the outlet element in the second positions is straight or curved.
Eine Füllstation zum Befüllen und Transportieren von Blisterbahnen umfasst eine erfindungsgemäße Füllvorrichtung und eine Fördervorrichtung zum Fördern der Blisterbahn in einer Förderrichtung. Dabei verläuft die Förderrichtung senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung, und die Auslaufelemente sind sowohl senkrecht zur Förderrichtung als auch senkrecht zur vertikalen Richtung bewegbar.A filling station for filling and transporting blister webs comprises a filling device according to the invention and a conveying device for conveying the blister web in a conveying direction. The conveying direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the outlet elements are movable both perpendicular to the conveying direction and perpendicular to the vertical direction.

Theoretisch können die Auslaufelemente 18 anstatt mit einer Hin- und Herbewegung der Füllschachteinheit 8 auch durch einen mechanischen Impuls, der auf die Füllschachteinheit 8 aufgebracht wird, in Schwenkbewegung versetzt werden. Weiterhin kann ein Auslaufelement 18 sowohl zum seitlichen Umlegen des von ihm rechts als auch des von ihm links befindlichen Produktes 6 dienen. Die Auslaufelemente 18 können auch eigene Antriebe aufweisen.Theoretically, instead of reciprocating the
Im Falle der schwenkelastischen Ausgestaltung der Auslaufelemente 18 verbiegen sich die Auslaufelemente 18 auf jeden Fall leicht, wenn sie aufgrund der Bewegung der Füllschachteinheit 8 an den Produkten 6 anstoßen. Die Auslaufelemente 6 können aber auch so elastisch sein, dass sie aufgrund der Hin- und Herbewegung der Füllschachteinheit 8 eine ähnliche Pendelbewegung vollziehen wie die Auslaufelemente 18 aus
