Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tray sealing machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Cup closing machines with shell claws are known, which are made in one piece and during their movement in the transport direction several still unsealed trays in a sealing device inside out and at the same time already transported out with a lid sheet sealed trays out of the sealing device.
  • Such tray sealing machines are equipped with increasingly longer in the direction of production sealing tools to further increase the performance of such machines.
  • the claw claws are getting longer. For example, when extending the sealing tool from 800 mm to 1100 mm, the shell grab must be extended from 1600 mm to 2200 mm.
  • Different shell grabbers and sealing tools are usually used for different shell shapes.
  • Claw grippers and sealing tools that are not used in a tray sealing machine are stored on tool trolleys that are often moved for maintenance or cleaning into special rooms outside the production space of the tray sealing machine. The length of the claw claws can represent an obstacle when driving through a door.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide an improved tray sealing machine.
  • the tray sealing machine comprises a gripper device with two gripper arms, an unsealed tray feed device, a sealed tray discharge device, and a sealing device.
  • the invention is characterized in that each gripper arm has a coupling device configured to receive a first shell gripper for feeding shells into the sealing device and a second shell gripper for discharging shells from the sealing station. Due to the division into two gripper arms, which are provided for different functions and thus also for different spatial working areas, the length is approximately halved compared to clamshell according to the prior art, so that tool lengths over 1200 mm are possible.
  • the shell claws are very easy to handle both when changing and when transporting on a tool change car.
  • the problem of different levels of feed belt, discharge belt and sealing tool base can be solved by e.g. the first shell grab only needs to be adjusted with respect to the feed belt and the seal tool bottom and the second shell grab only with respect to the seal tool bottom and the discharge belt.
  • the first and the second shell gripper respectively by means of a first and a second receiving element to the coupling device of the gripper arm attachable to connect the shell gripper backlash and torsionally rigid with the gripper arm can.
  • this attachment is keyless.
  • At least one receiving element is adjustable on the claw grab in such a way that the shell claw can be aligned to a first, a second and / or a third transport plane.
  • the shell grab can both be adjusted in its alignment with the position of the shells as well as two bilaterally arranged in a track of successive shells and cooperating shell clasps are adjusted to each other, that all male shells of a group of shells with approximately the same force are gripped.
  • the three transport planes can be aligned parallel to each other, but have different vertical distances.
  • the first shell claws can be aligned to the first and second transport plane and the second shell claw to the second and third transport plane aligned.
  • At least one receiving element on the shell claw in two mutually perpendicular axes is adjustable so as to be able to adjust the shell grab in a vertical and a horizontal plane.
  • the receiving elements are configured such that torques generated by forces acting on the shell claw are received by the coupling device such that the first and second shell claws each have a common side together with the two corresponding shell claws of a second opposing side in the process detecting and transporting the shells create a force symmetry within the gripper device.
  • two receiving elements are provided per bucket gripper, which cooperate as a two-point attachment preferably without play with the coupling device of the gripper arm.
  • a single receiving element is provided, which is designed wedge-shaped and / or prism-shaped in order to enable a play-free connection of the shell grab with the coupling device.
  • the first and the second claw gripper are each independently detachably connectable with their associated coupling device.
  • FIG. 1 shows a tray sealing machine 1 according to the invention with a feed device in the form of a feed belt 2, a sealing device 3 and a discharge device in the form of a discharge belt 4, which are arranged in a production direction P in this order below. Furthermore, the tray sealing machine 1 has a machine frame 5, a film feed device 6 and a film remover 7. A gripper device 8 with two gripper arms 9 and a first 10 and second claw gripper 11 on both sides in the production direction P is provided for the transport of trays 12. An operator can influence all processes of the tray sealing machine 1 via an operating device 13.
  • trays 12 are transported into or out of the sealing device 3 on the feed belt 2 or the discharge belt 4.
  • the product-filled trays 12 are, for example, evacuated, gassed, sealed with a lidding film 14 and cut.
  • the cut-off film residue, also called residual film grid, is wound up on the film remover 7.
  • the upper part of the feed belt 2 forms a first transport plane E1, a sealing tool lower part 3a of the sealing device 3 for depositing the trays 12, a second transport plane E2 and the upper part of the discharge belt 4 a third transport plane E3.
  • the transfer of the shells 12 between the feed belt 2, the sealing device 3 and the discharge belt 4 is carried out by the gripper device 8, which in the FIG. 2 is explained in more detail.
  • FIG. 2 shows the gripper device 8 according to the invention with two movable in and against the production direction P gripper arms 9, which are arranged laterally of the trays 12 to be transported.
  • the gripper arms 9 each have a coupling device 15 in their lower region.
  • the first shell gripper 10 and the second shell gripper 11 are provided one after the other in the production direction P.
  • the two first shell claws 10 are configured to detach between them a group of five shells 12 from the supply belt 2 and to transport them into the sealing device 3.
  • the second shell claws 11 are configured to deliver the group of five trays 12, previously closed with a lidding film 14 to a finished package, out of the sealing device 3 to the discharge belt 4.
  • a pivoting movement of the gripper arms 9 to each other or apart about pivot axes 9a provides for the detection of the shells 12 from the feed belt 2 or in the sealing device 3 or the depositing of the shells 12 in the sealing device 3 or on the discharge belt. 4
  • Both the first claw gripper 10 and the second claw claw 11 each have a first 16 and a second receiving element 17, by means of which the claw grippers 10, 11 on the coupling device 15 can be fastened and released keyless.
  • FIG. 3 shows a section of the coupling device 15 in an enlarged view with a receiving element 16 of the first shell gripper 10 in a dissolved state.
  • the receiving element 16 comprises two receiving bolts 20 a and 20 b, which are mounted at a fixed distance from one another on a setting plate 21.
  • the adjusting plate 21 is adjustably attached to the claw gripper 16 by means of a screw 22.
  • the coupling device 15 has a holder 23 which has two U-shaped openings 24 to the receiving pin 20 a, 20 b take.
  • the receiving bolts 20a, 20b on a reduced diameter D in its central region, which is provided precisely fitting for the U-shaped opening 24.
  • a spring plate 25 ensures a secure connection of the shell gripper 16 with the coupling device 15 by the spring plate 25 includes a receiving bolt 20a partially and at the front end. To release only the spring plate 25 has to be manually pushed away from the receiving bolt 20a, so that the shell claw 16 can be removed.
