Definitions
- Film wrapping module for containers as a component of a packaging machine and method therefor
- the invention relates to a film wrapping module for wrapping containers along a transport path, in particular of several superimposed containers with a film, wherein the film wrapping module has a wrapping unit according to.
- the containers have containers.
- Containers according to the invention are, for example, bottles, cans, tubes, pouches, each made of metal, glass and / or plastic, so for example PET bottles, but also other packaging, especially those for filling liquid or viscous products but are also suitable for receiving food, but also already to groups (multiple pack, container) combined containers.
- Container treatment plants are, for example, rinsers, fillers, cappers but also labeling machines. These can be circumferential design or linear design.
- Continuous-design container treatment systems have a transport star on which the containers follow a circular path, for example past labeling devices. Prior to labeling, the containers can be aligned with recognition features, so that each label can be applied to the container in the same orientation
- the containers After the containers have been treated in the container treatment plant, they can be supplied to a packaging machine.
- the production of the container is carried out, for example, in a so-called packaging machine in such a way that the container on a transport plane of a conveyor rising and oriented with its container axis in the vertical direction or substantially vertical direction in a mass transport or in a wide Be fiscalerström be fed, in which the container with respect to distinctive containers and / or equipment features may have an arbitrary orientation, since the former orientation, so alignment is lost.
- This wide container Terstrom is then converted by lane division into several single-lane container streams.
- the compartments of the later containers or their container groups forming the single-track container streams the merging of the necessary number of containers in each case to a compacted container group, in which the container with multiple shell or peripheral surfaces, ie with the contact Or contact surfaces abut against each other, and that connecting the container of each group of containers to the compact and solid or stable container.
- a wrap is conceivable, for example, with a tether or other comprehensive element.
- Such a comprehensive element may be, for example, a carton blank or a foil section, which is placed around the relevant container and fastened accordingly.
- the cardboard ends can be glued together.
- the initially applied films can be shrunk in a shrink tunnel.
- the containers get a stabilizing base, which is designed as a cardboard blank, for example, on which the containers stand up.
- a stabilizing base is useful if the subsequent container is to be formed, for example, of several layers of sub-packages, with several containers are stacked. It can be attacked on the base, so that one sub-package is set to the other. Subsequently, a comprehensive element can be provided to include the stacked containers.
- the carton blanks are preferably taken out of a magazine in the unfolded state and can be folded before or after being fed to the subsequent container, whereby a correspondingly executed folding station is used.
- a film roll is unrolled to form a film web, the relevant film sections being cut off from the film web.
- a film cutting station can be usefully used, so that the respective film section has the required dimensions of the container to be packed in each case.
- a spacer element which is designed for example as a web or, for example, as a compartment.
- This compartment is mostly made up of NEM cardboard or made of cardboard, and is unfolded before insertion into the subsequent container, wherein an insertion station, which can be exemplified as a web inserter or compartment inserter, is used.
- an insertion station which can be exemplified as a web inserter or compartment inserter, is used.
- the strapping can also be glued to the containers.
- a disadvantage of the strapping is, however, that the first removal of a container from such a container remaining in the container containers are no longer held together by the strapping. This applies not only when the strapping is separated or cut, but also when it is possible to remove a container from the drum without severing the strapping.
- DE 10 2006 037 105 A1 deals with a method for assembling bottle packs, in which a rotary star is provided on both sides of a web, which pushes bottle necks in brackets on flat carriers.
- the bottle package is still covered with a tape or wrapping (foil).
- an adhesive is applied to containers in narrow areas or rows, each adjacent surfaces, which are not provided with adhesive, to allow gripping the package for the purpose of carrying.
- EP 2 096 039 A1 also discloses to provide containers with an adhesive, but in addition also a shrink film is arranged around the bottle package.
- EP 2 500 296 A1 is a device and a method for grouping piece goods along a conveyor line.
- the one-piece elements are individually controllable in their feed movement and / or speed because of the gearless direct drives used along the movement path.
- the one-piece elements emerge from below the movement path, divert a number of containers from the container stream, initially stop the container flow, so that a gap is created with the separated containers: The dividing elements then accelerate and submerge again below the level of the movement path.
- EP 2 500 296 A1 actually combines only the one-piece technique known before its registration or priority date with one-piece fingers, which are arranged on revolving bars, with a drive system which is formed by gearless direct drives.
- DE 10 201 1 081 705 A1 also deals with a method and a device for grouping containers.
- the device two conveyors at different speeds.
- the second conveyor is faster than the first conveyor.
- the containers reaching the second conveyor are moved faster than the containers on the second conveyor.
- a sliding or retaining device By means of a sliding or retaining device, the containers are accelerated on the second conveyor, delayed and / or shifted from each other, so that the original gap is changed.
- the lagging container is pushed onto the leading container.
- the corresponding acceleration is achieved by means of linear motor drives, with the individual elements of the sliding or retaining device being individually controllable.
- the film wrapping module ie by means of the wrapping unit, the film, or the film blank is placed around the container.
- the feed, for example, of the film section usually takes place from below the transport plane, wherein a first end of the film section, viewed in the transport direction, is first conveyed forward through a gap between the conveyors below the foot-side end of the bundle.
- the entire container is on the first end, which may extend slightly beyond the container seen in the transport direction, wherein the first end may also be slightly withdrawn.
- a driver then promotes the rest of the film section from the back around the container around, so that this is taken at least partially.
- the driver with the film section held on it overtakes the container in the transport direction, and guides the second end in the direction of the first end.
- the driver sucks the film section, so that the film section along the transport path is securely held on the driver.
- the driver is preferably guided on both sides in each case on a conveying element, for example on a chain conveyor and has a rod-like configuration, so for example as a cross bar on.
- the driver can also be guided only on one side.
- the transverse web is thereby, as the film section from below the transport plane through the relevant conveyor out.
- the gap between the two conveyors has a dimension adapted to the dimension of the driver.
- an entry side for the driver from above the transport plane in the relevant conveyor is provided, which of course must also have a corresponding gap, so that the driver from above the transport plane through the gap under the Transport level can get.
- the second end of the film section is taken, so that the container passes with his foot on this.
- the film portion of the driver since the tensile force which is exerted on the moving portion on the film portion is greater than the suction force with which the film portion is held on the driver. In this case, an overlap of the first end with the second end may be possible. However, even in this case, faults can occur which can lead to a sorting out of an improper container.
- the conveyor thus has a rear, which is arranged above the transport plane.
- the return strand is arranged correspondingly below the transport plane.
- a certain number of entrainment means are provided, which have a static, that is to say invariable distance from each other.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for wrapping containers of the type mentioned, which is improved by simple means.
- the solution of this object is achieved with a device having the features of claim 1.
- the wrapping unit has a linear conveyor with a closed path of movement, on which moving elements rotate in a common direction, wherein at the respectivethsentennent at least one gripping element is arranged.
- a plurality of gripping elements can be arranged, which can be controlled independently of each other.
- the gripping elements can be designed as a rod element, and extend at least along a partial section of a rear of the movement path transversely to the transport direction.
- the movement elements essentially revolve in a common direction means, in the sense of the invention, that the movement elements may be occasionally moved and briefly moved in a different direction than the common, actually predetermined direction of rotation, if this is the case For example, makes sense to change a distance to the following or leading movement element.
- another advantage of the invention lies in the fact that the movement elements can be actuated independently of one another on the movement path in their respective movement.
- the linear transporter ideally has a closed trajectory on which the individual movement elements are arranged, which rotate.
- the movement elements can also be referred to as movers.
- the trajectory has linearly oriented trajectory sections and deflecting regions arranged therebetween, so that a closed trajectory is formed.
- the linearly oriented trajectory sections which are also referred to as the rear and as the return strand, may have curved or obliquely oriented sections, in order, for example, to be curved. compensate for a height difference, or to form, for example, a change in direction in the horizontal direction.
- the movement elements are individually controlled, so that each movement element can have a respective speed.
- the movement elements are independently controllable such that the respective movement element at the respective movement path section in its speed is equal to other parts located at the respective movement path section. is movement elements, but this accelerated motion element relative to other on the same path of movement respectively at the same trajectory section moving elements but also accelerated, delayed or even in its direction of movement can be reversed for a short time.
- This is advantageous, since such a very small number of movement elements can be provided, since the movement elements moving along the return strand can overtake the movement elements moving along the rear.
- the trajectory can of course have a lock for discharging unneeded or verifiable motion elements. Of course, the lock can also be used for sluicing.
- the respective movement elements can be controlled, for example, such that they are moved with adapted speed when taking over the film sections, or are subsequently braked and subsequently undergo a speed build-up, so that a smooth takeover of the film sections occurs, which along eg an acceleration section of the movement path the following be spaced.
- the linear transporter is designed in the manner of an electromagnetic path, wherein the movement elements rotate gearless at this directly controllable.
- an interface of the movement path can be connected to a control unit.
- the linear transporter can therefore be an electromagnetic direct drive.
- the actual drive is effected by a dynamically controllable electromagnetic field along the rail or track, whereby the on the moving element, which can also be referred to as a mover arranged permanent magnet / -packung is moved by the magnetic force or the magnetic field controlled.
- Another advantage of the invention is the fact that the movement elements can be controlled so that they are accelerated, and overtake the container. This ensures that the container can be transported at the maximum possible transport speed. This, of course, affects partly due to an increased output, since considerably more containers can be enveloped than before.
- the arranged on the movement elements gripping elements can relate to the linear transporter but also based on the movement element itself perform any movement are therefore controlled accordingly in their degrees of freedom.
- An activation takes place in an ideal embodiment via a central unit, which can also cause the control of the movement elements.
- the film sections can now be transported to the gripping elements, so held on the bar elements securely.
- the film sections are then placed in the required position under the container.
- the procedure is only similar to the conventional procedure. In other words, the film section is placed with one end under the container, the other end passes the container, and then also lays under the container.
- the foil section is merely held by the respective gripper element, ie rod element.
- the movement element is also expedient for the movement element to be accelerated in order to overtake the container, the gripping element, that is to say the rod element, being accelerated under the film in the running direction, ie being pulled away.
- the gripping element ie the rod element, virtually overtakes the film.
- a linear transporter which is arranged laterally to the transport plane.
- the linear transporter possibly has a trajectory section, which is arranged below the transport plane.
- the film sections could be taken and transported in the direction of the transport plane (takeover section).
- a subsequent trajectory section could be oriented away from the Transport level rising away.
- This riser section can be designed to be vertical or inclined.
- the rising trajectory section (riser section) can transition into an end section of the rear end running parallel to the transport plane, to which one of the deflection areas adjoins.
- a falling trajectory section case section
- the falling trajectory section preferably has an identical configuration as the rising trajectory section. Both do not have to be identical. This is possible because the respective movement elements can be controlled differently, which is why a predetermined division, which is required by rigidly arranged drivers, can be dispensed with.
- the return strand begins, which extends up to the other deflection region, to which in turn the transfer section adjoins. Between the fall portion and the second deflection region, in turn, an end portion of the return run extending parallel to the transport plane is preferably arranged. However, this end section is preferably arranged below the transport plane.
- the moving elements may preferably be accelerated so that the above-mentioned speed advantages can be utilized.
- the rear and the rear can be identical or different in their design.
- the gripping elements can be movable relative to the movement elements, so that they could occupy each position relative to the movement elements and relative to the transport path at any position along the movement path.
- the gripping, ie rod elements are arranged transversely to the transport path, and this virtually spanned, so that the film rest in the entire width of the rod element, so it can also rest.
- the cable could be moved to a different position relative to the transport route, which would require less space in the transverse direction.
- the state Belement but also rigid, so immovably be arranged on the moving element.
- the gripping elements are designed as a rod element, wherein the rod elements are each assigned to a moving element.
- a single linear transporter can be arranged, which is quite sufficient.
- the gripping elements grip the film mechanically at corner areas.
- a mechanical gripping is in the context of the invention, a suction.
- a linear transporter is arranged in each case on both sides of the transport plane.
- the respective trajectory is identical in an ideal embodiment. It is also ideal if the movement elements along the parallel movement paths, ie at least along the rear and a section of the return strand adjoining the first deflection region, rotate at the same speed with respect to the respective opposite movement element.
- the foil section can be guided at its corner regions by the arranged on the parallel and correspondingly rotating movement elements gripping elements.
- Another advantage is the fact that the transport is also carried out safely can because the film can be transported in a tensioned state. Because the gripping elements are relative to each other and movable relative to the moving elements. Ideal, however, in any case, that with the invention preferably several superimposed containers can be wrapped with a film section.
- a power supply of the gripping elements can be effected by means of energy supply along the movement path, wherein the movement elements have corresponding decrease elements. It is also possible if the moving element has an energy storage, which is to be recharged at times, which is why the optional lock can be provided for removal and infiltration. This allows the system to continue operation even though some moving elements have been removed for maintenance, inspection, repair or recharging.
- FIG. 1 shows schematically an overall arrangement in a side view
- FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment to FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 shows the feeding of the film just before contact with the container of Figure 2 and
- Figures 4a and 4b show the position of the film and the container immediately after passing the film through the container in the embodiment according to. Figure 2 in two views.
- FIG. 1 shows a film wrapping module, a wrapping unit 4 for containers 1. This is arranged along a transport path or a transport unit 2, consisting of an inlet conveyor 2.1, a wrapping conveyor 2.2, one or more discharge conveyors 2.3. This is followed by a shrink tunnel 30.
- the film 3 or the film section is brought to the wrapping unit 4 and provided by a supply and film cutting unit 20 shown in dashed lines.
- a first feedthrough gap 9 through which the film 3 is guided in the transport plane and in front of the container to be wrapped 1 together with the required gripping and holding element. In the downward or return movement, the gripping and holding element passes through the second feedthrough gap 10 at the end of the wrapping conveyor 2.2.
- the wrapping unit 4 has a linear conveyor 5 with a closed trajectory 5.1, on which movement elements 6, also known as movers or rotors, which rotate in normal operation in a common direction B.
- the linear transporter 5 is only partially and very schematically indicated.
- At least one gripping element is arranged on the movement elements 6, which according to the embodiment variant according to FIG. 1 is a guide rod 7 designed as a rod element, on which the film 3 or the film blank rests loosely.
- the linear transporter 5 is designed as an electromagnetic direct drive, so that the moving elements 6 can be controlled and moved independently of each other.
- the closed movement path 5.1 or the linear transporter 5 has a rear 5 a and a return strand 5 b, between which the deflection regions and return sections are arranged.
- the guide rods 7, with their round, semicircular or polygonal cross-section, represent the gripping elements and extend transversely to the transport path of the container. 1
- the three containers 1 b, 1 c and 1 d shown by way of example are located in the region of the wrapping conveyor 2.2 after the passage gap 9 and are all located on the front film end 3.1, which are each comparably large.
- the relative movement of the movement elements 6 and thus of the guide rod 7 to the respective container is ideally adapted, so that the rear end of the film 3.2 esp. Shortly before the end of the wrapping step always survives only as far as absolutely necessary that this is still held securely.
- the moving element 6 moves on the Foremost container 1 d down past and releases the rear end of the film 3.2 that this end of the film 3.2 can be overflowed from the container 1 d.
- FIG. 2 is comparable in basic construction to that of FIG. 1.
- movement elements 6 are used, in which the driven head 6.1 of the movement element 6 is connected via a coupling element with a guide rod 7.
- the head 6.1 comprises one or more own grippers, not shown, with which the film 3 or the film blank can be grasped at the front or at the front side. The rear end of the film lies loosely over the guide rod. 7
- the active guidance of the front film end 3.1 makes it possible to achieve an absolutely secure and quasi-arbitrary position for the moment of driving over with the container 1 a, which is guided by the inlet conveyor 2.1.
- the release of the film from the grippers of the head 6.1 can thus be done simultaneously by the container 1 a pulls the film 3 from the opening or just opened grippers.
- the free, front end of the film can always be chosen so long that it rests securely on the rear of the wrapping conveyor 2.2 and does not reach the area of the front deflection and is guided under the transport plane.
- Figure 4b even with a wider implementation gap 9 a disturbance is avoided.
- the discharge situation of the film 3 from the gripper of the head 6.1 is shown. Fig.

- the coupling element 15 is articulated in a suitable manner, not shown, mounted on the head 6.1 and guided in the region of the linear transporter 5.
- the dash-dotted line indicates that a two-sided storage and / or motor drive depending on the desired power and load situation may be advantageous.
- this effect can be increased even more. In this case, it makes sense to provide a vertical course of the movement path or of the linear conveyor in the area of the lead-through gaps.
- the device according to the invention is part of a packaging machine, which may still have a shrink tunnel in order to shrink the film onto the containers.
- a component of the packaging machine upstream of the device according to the invention could be a stacking unit which places the containers one above the other.
