Definitions

  • 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.
  • Blister sheets are often used in the pharmaceutical industry in the packaging of medicines.
  • a plurality of blister cups is first formed in a film material web, whereby the blister sheet is formed.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the advantage of this embodiment is that can be done by the arrangement of the outlet elements in the region of the lower Greschachtenden 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.
  • each of the outlet elements is dimensionally stable.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the pivotability about a rotation axis perpendicular to the vertical promotes a controlled guided pivotal movement of the outlet elements.
  • each outlet element is formed of an elastic material.
  • 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.
  • a movement of the filling shaft unit perpendicular to the vertical direction causes a pivoting movement of the outlet elements.
  • all outlet elements in pivotal movement be offset.
  • Special drives for the outlet elements are not required.
  • a first movement means is provided for reciprocating the filling device in the direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
  • the hopper unit is also movable in the vertical direction in an advantageous manner.
  • 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.
  • the hopper unit can be lowered to a very short distance to the blister cups to be filled.
  • 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 Umlege Sign is achieved.
  • 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.
  • the outlet element in the second positions is straight or curved.

  • Each blister sheet 3 comprises a plurality of blister pens 4, in each of which a product 6, for example, a tablet or a dragee to bring is.
  • the blister pens 4 are usually arranged in rows and columns.
  • the conveying device 5 for the blister web 3 preferably conveys the blister web 3 clocked in a conveying direction F. Details of the design of the conveying device 5 are known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the filling device 2 comprises a filling shaft unit 8 with a plurality of generally vertical, parallel to each other Rudbul 12, which are formed as enclosed on four sides channels in the hopper unit 8.
  • the filling shaft unit 8 is shown broken up for better understanding.
  • the filling ducts 12 are arranged at regular intervals in a row running perpendicular to the conveying direction F in the direction S. Usually, moreover, a plurality of such rows of filling shafts 12 in the conveying direction F one behind the other in the Hopper unit 8 arranged.
  • the products 6 fall sporadically from top to bottom through the hopper 12 in each underlying blister pots 4.
  • the hopper can also clocked movable gate valves have to ensure the separation in the hopper.
  • the hopper 12 may be funnel-shaped in the upper portion 11, while they have a constant cross-section in the lower portion 13. A product 6 first enters the funnel-shaped upper portion 11 and is placed over the lower portion 13 in the blister bowl 4.
  • outlet elements 18 which are formed strip-shaped, arranged pivotally.
  • the outlet elements 18 are arranged such that the outlet elements 18 are located laterally next to the fall path of the products 6.
  • the width of the outlet elements 18 in the vertical direction S corresponds approximately to the distance between two filling shafts 12
  • the thickness of the outlet elements 18 corresponds approximately to the depth of the hopper 12 in the conveying direction F.
  • the vertically extending lateral outer surface portions 20 of the outlet elements 18 adjoin the perpendicular side inner surface portions 22 of the hopper 12 and aligned with these.
  • Each outlet element 18 is pivotally mounted on the filling shaft unit 8 about a rotation axis 24 that is substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction V and in the conveying direction F.
  • Fig. 1 three products 6 are shown after being deposited in the associated blister cup 4 in an undesired upright position. These erected products 6, specifically tablets, it is using the outlet elements 18 in the flat position to move, as described in more detail below.
  • the outlet elements 18 are in Fig. 1 designed as plate-shaped or strip-shaped elements and are dimensionally stable. As can further be seen, the outlet elements 18 each extend vertically downwards almost to the top 26 of the blister web third
  • the plurality of outlet elements 18 are pivotally received in a plurality of recesses 19, which are formed in the filling shaft unit 8. On the upper side, the outlet elements 18 are formed convex, while the downwardly facing sides of the recesses 19 are formed correspondingly concave.
  • Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of a portion of a hopper unit 8 according to the second embodiment.
