Description
- The present invention relates to a packaging machine for wrapping packaging trays including e.g. fresh food with a stretchable film.
- The section introduces aspects that may be helpful in facilitating a better understanding of the invention. Accordingly, the statements of this section are to be read in this light and are not to be understood as admission about what is in the prior art.
- In today's packaging machines, a stretchable film is pulled off a roll and a packaging tray including products for sale, e.g. fresh food, is wrapped around by the stretchable film. Usually, the packaging tray is carried by a table and the film is applied from the top to the packaging tray. This is done by moving the packaging tray in the direction of the film or moving the film in the direction of the packaging tray. Then, the film is wrapped around the packaging tray at all four sides and the edges of the film are located at the bottom side of the packaging tray. Optionally, the film is sealed on the bottom side of the packaging tray. Optionally, the film is stretched before being wrapped around the packaging tray.
- Such a system according to preamble of claim 1 is e.g. disclosed in US patent
US5,855,106 . For carrying the packaging tray, a table is proposed consisting of lift posts. The lift posts include heads which need to be moved away when wrapping the film around the packaging tray. There is a need to be cautious how the lift posts are installed such that the heads are moveable in the right direction. In case there is an obstacle in the moving direction of the head, the wrapping process may be disturbed. - It is an object of the invention to enhance the above described system, to ease its installation and to enhance its reliability.
- The present invention concerns a packaging machine. The packaging machine comprises a packaging station for wrapping packaging trays with a stretchable film. Exemplarily, the packaging trays are supermarket food trays or supermarket food plates formed of plastic as known from food packaging. The packaging machine further comprises a table consisting of multiple lift posts attached to a bottom plate. The table is for supporting a packaging tray to be wrapped. This means the packaging tray is lying on the table. At least one of the lift posts consists of a fixed member which is attached to the bottom plate at one side. Thus the fixed members are standing on the bottom plate. Further, the lift posts consist of a support head. The support head is attached at one side to the fixed member. Attached within this context means that the support head and the fixed member are neighboring each other and the support head forms a spatial extension of the fixed member. According to one embodiment, the fixed member has at one end a plane side and the support head has at one end a plane side. The plane side of the fixed member and the plane side of the support head are located side by side and fit to each other. A force is applied forcing the fixed member and the support head together, thus building the lift post. The support head is attached to the fixed member by a flexible connection bendable in each direction in a plane orthogonal to the lift post. In other words, the support head is attached to the fixed member but is bendable in a random direction in the plane orthogonal to the lift post if a lateral force is applied to the support head.
- Within the meaning of the invention, the table is formed of multiple lift posts which form a horizontal plane. A packaging tray is laying on the support heads of the lift posts forming the table. The apparatus as described above has the advantage that the support head may be moved in a random direction in the plane orthogonal to the lift posts, depending from which side a lateral force is applied to the support head. In other words, if a force is applied to the support head from the left, the support head moves to the right and vice versa. If a force is applied to the support head from behind, the support head moves to the front and vice versa. Thus, movement of the support head in a plane orthogonal to the lift post is possible independent form the orientation of the lift post. This is advantageous as the lift posts are replaceable in order to replace destroyed lift posts and in order to change the size of the table to different packaging tray sizes. In known systems, if some lift posts are replaced in order to change the size of the table, care needs to be taken that the orientation of the lift posts is correct and the support heads are moveable in the direction given by a folding member when wrapping the film around the packaging tray. Depending on the position of the support head in the table, this direction varies. According to the invention, the support heads are moveable in a random direction and there is no need to take special care about their orientation. A further advantage of the apparatus according to the invention is that if an obstacle hinders the support head to move in its predetermined direction, it is possible that the support head is bent to the side in order not to be blocked by the obstacle.
- According to invention, the flexible connection bendable in each direction in a plane orthogonal to the lift post is realized by a spring. The spring is for forcing the plane side of the fixed member and the plane side of the support head against each other. This has the advantage that the support head is forced automatically in its original position, after the lateral force to the support head is released. There is no need for a separate mechanism for moving the support head back in its original position.
- According to invention, the support head comprises a first holding member for holding one end of a spring and the fixed member comprises a second holding member for holding the other end of a spring.
- According to one embodiment, the first holding member and the second holding member are oriented in a way that the spring is located alongside a common axis of the fixed member and the support head.
- According to one embodiment which is not in the scope of the invention, the flexible connection bendable in each direction in a plane orthogonal to the lift post is realized by a flexible rod formed of flexible plastic.
- According to one embodiment, at least some lift posts are attachable and detachable to the bottom plate by fastening and unfastening a screw.
- According to one embodiment, at least some lift posts are attachable and detachable to the bottom plate by a snapping mechanism.
- According to one embodiment, at least one column of lift posts is attachable and detachable at the same time by attaching or detaching a lift post holder to or from the bottom plate.
- According to one embodiment, the packaging machine further comprises at least one first side folder for wrapping a film at a first side below the packaging tray by moving a first wrapping member carrying a part of the film from the first side below the packaging tray. The first wrapping member bends down the support heads carrying the packaging tray at the first side in the moving direction of the first wrapping member.
- According to one embodiment, the packaging machine further comprises at least one second side folder for wrapping a film at a second side below the packaging tray by moving a second wrapping member carrying a part of the film from the second side below the packaging tray. The second wrapping member bends down the support heads carrying the packaging tray at the second side in the moving direction of the second wrapping member.
- According to one embodiment, the packaging machine further comprises at least one back folder for wrapping a film at the back side below the packaging tray by moving a third wrapping member carrying a part of the film from the back side below the packaging tray. The third wrapping member bends down the support heads carrying the packaging tray at the back side in the moving direction of the third wrapping member.

Fig. 1 shows a packaging machine 10 according to the invention. Astretchable film 12 for being wrapped around a packaging tray 15 is supplied from afilm roll 11. Thestretchable film 12 is cut by acutter 13 at an adequate length in order to provide an element of thestretchable film 12 of adequate size to be wrapped around the packaging tray 15. This part of thestretchable film 12 is secured in afilm holder 14. Thefilm holder 14 is schematically depicted inFig. 1 and comprises holding means for holding the front and rear edges of the part of thestretchable film 12. According to one embodiment, thefilm holder 14 is further for stretching thestretchable film 12. The packaging tray 15 is provided on a table. The table consists of multiple rows of lift posts 16. Alift post 16 comprises a fixedmember 17 and asupport head 18. The lift posts 16 are attached to abottom plate 19 in order to provide the table. The table is to be understood as a plane which is provided by multiple support heads 18 on which the packaging tray 15 is laying. Thebottom plate 19 is moveable in vertical direction by alifer 20 in order to move the packaging tray 15 laying on the support heads 18 in the direction of thestretchable film 12 kept between thefilm holder 14. This movement is indicated inFig. 1 by the arrows. If thelifter 20 is extended, the packaging tray 15 is lifted to a position above thefilm holder 14. This means, by moving the table by the lifter, the packaging tray 15 is moved in the direction of thestretchable film 12 and pushes thestretchable film 12 in upwards direction until thestretchable film 12 covers the upper side of the packaging tray 15. The lower side of the packaging tray 15 is also located above thefilm holder 12. A first side folder 21 is provided to wrap one end of thestretchable film 12 around one side of the packaging tray 15 such that the end of thestretchable film 12 is folded to the lower side of the packaging tray 15. Therefore, the first side folder 21 moves from a first side below the packaging tray 15 carrying the end of thestretchable film 12. Asecond side folder 23 is provided to wrap the other end of thestretchable film 12 around a second side of the packaging tray 15 such that the end of thestretchable film 12 is folded to the lower side of the packaging tray 15. Therefore, thesecond side folder 23 moves from a second side below the packaging tray 15 carrying the end of thestretchable film 12. Aback folder 22 is provided to wrap around the back side of thestretchable film 12 at the back side of the packaging tray 15 such that the end of thestretchable film 12 is folded to the lower side of the packaging tray from behind. If the packaging tray 15 leaves the table, the front part of thestretchable film 12 is folded around the packaging tray 15 from the front side by a separate mechanism (not illustrated). Applying the first andsecond side folders 21, 23, theback folder 22 and the front folding mechanism results in a packaging tray 15 completely wrapped around with thestretchable film 12. The edges of thestretchable film 12 meet each other below the packaging tray 15. Thestretchable film 12 is then sealed below the packaging tray 15 on a sealing station (not illustrated) in order to produce a film covered packaging tray 15 e.g. for packaging fresh food. For applying the first andsecond side folder 21, 23 and the back folder, the support heads 18 need to be flexible and movable. The first andsecond side folder 21, 23 and theback folder 22 bend away at least some support heads 18 when moving below the packaging tray 15 for placing the edges of thestretchable film 12 at their predetermined positions. -
Fig. 2 schematically depicts alift post 16 according to a first embodiment of the invention. The lift post consists at least of a fixedmember 17 and asupport head 18. Multiple lift posts 16 arranged in a matrix like manner form a table in a packaging machine 10 for carrying a packaging tray 15 as described above. InFig. 2 (a) , thelift post 16 is depicted in its initial position. The fixedmember 17 and thesupport head 18 forming thelift post 16 have their longitudinal axis in the same direction. Thesupport head 18 comprises a first holdingmember 25 for holding one end of aspring 27. The fixed member comprises a second holdingmember 26 for holding the other end of aspring 27. The fixedmember 17 and thesupport head 18 include cavities wherein thespring 27 is located. The fixedmember 17 and thesupport head 18 are forced together by the spring, such that the upper side of the fixedmember 17 and the lower side of thesupport member 17 are pressed against each other. In one embodiment, the fixedmember 17 is a tube like cylinder. In one embodiment, the first and second holdingmembers member 17 and thesupport head 18, respectively, wherein the ends of thespring 27 are fixed with a screw. In one embodiment, a protrusion is provided within the fixedmember 17 and thesupport head 18 for fixing thespring 27. -
Fig. 2 (b) depicts thelift post 16 if a force is applied from the right side as it is the case if a side folder touches thesupport head 18 from the right side. Thesupport head 18 is bent to the left. The fixedmember 17 stays in its original upright position. Thespring 27 is stressed and forces thesupport head 17 in the direction of the fixedmember 17. If the force from the right side is released, e.g. because the side folder moves away, thespring 27 stresses thesupport head 18 back in its original position as depicted inFig. 2(a). Fig. 2 (c) illustrates the position of thesupport head 18 if a lateral force is applied from the left side. Thesupport head 18 is bent to the right and the fixedmember 17 stays in its original upright position. If the force from the left side is released, e.g. because the side folder moves away, thespring 27 stresses thesupport head 18 back in its original position as depicted inFig. 2 (a). Fig. 2 (b) and (c) exemplarily illustrate the position of thesupport head 18 if a force is applied from a specific side. It is understood that thesupport head 18 may be pushed away in each direction in the plane orthogonal to thelift post 16 depending on the side from which a force is applied. In a packaging machine according toFig. 1 , the support heads 18 are pushed away by theside folders 21, 23 or backfolder 22 and are forced back in their upright positions by thesprings 27. In case there is an obstacle hindering asupport head 18 to be pushed in the direction of the movement of theside folders 21, 23 or backfolder 22, thespring 27 enables thesupport head 18 to flexible retreat in a direction where no obstacle is present. -
Fig. 3 schematically depicts alift post 16 according to a second embodiment which is not in the scope of the invention. The lift post consists at least of a fixedmember 17 and asupport head 18. Multiple lift posts 16 arranged in a matrix like manner form a table in a packaging machine 10 for carrying a packaging tray 15 as described above. InFig. 3 (a) , thelift post 16 is depicted in its initial position. The fixedmember 17 and thesupport head 18 forming thelift post 16 have a longitudinal axis in the same direction. Thespring 27 as described in the first embodiment above is replaced by a flexible plastic object, e.g. aflexible rod 31. Theflexible rod 31 has similar effects as described above on the movement of thesupport member 18 if a force is applied from the side, e.g. by aside folder 21, 23 or aback folder 22. Theflexible rod 31 is fixed in thesupport head 18 by a first holdingmember 25 and in the fixedmember 17 by a second holdingmember 26. In one embodiment, the first and second holdingmembers support member 18 and the fixedmember 17, respectively, and tightening theflexible rod 31 within thesupport member 18 and fixedmember 17, respectively. -
Fig. 4 discloses a top view on the table for carrying a packaging tray 15. The table consists of multiple lift posts 16 as described above which are arranged in a matrix like manner. InFig. 4 , the support heads 18 are in their original position. Thus, in the top view on the lift posts 16, the upper side of the support heads 18 is depicted. The lift posts 16 are attached to thebottom plate 19. As an example only, the left and right columns of lift posts 16 are attached to alift post holder 42. By detaching thelift post holder 42 from thebottom plate 19, a whole column of lift posts 16, e.g. the whole left column of lift posts 16 or the whole right column of lift posts 16 is detachable or attachable at once to easily reconfigure the packaging apparatus 10. Theinner area 41 of thebottom plate 19 comprises lift posts 16 which are attachable and detachable separately. The lift posts 16 are either attached to thebottom plate 19 by a screw sticking out from the bottom plate and thelift post 16 having a threaded inner hole to be screwed on the screw. Alternatively, an inner hole of thelift post 16 is put on a bold and is fixed by a screw from the side driving through the wall of thelift post 16.
