Description
- The present invention relates to a machine for forming boxes.
- In particular, the invention relates to a system for simplifying the change of shape in a box-forming machine with interchangeable punches and forming dies.
- In the packaging sector, products are often placed in cardboard or plastic boxes. In packaging lines, therefore, machines are provided for forming boxes in which cardboard or plastic flat blanks are picked up from a pile and fed to a box-forming machine comprising at least one punch operated by a manipulator such as, for example, a robot or linear actuator, and at least one die carried by a fixed frame.
- To produce boxes with different shapes on the same machine, usually the punches and the dies are replaced. In the case in which the machine is equipped with glue nozzles, it is also necessary to adjust the position of the glue nozzles after replacing the punches and the dies.
- The shape-change operations require a precise positioning of the dies with respect to the frame. Box-forming machines can be provided with reference formations that facilitate the precise positioning of the dies with respect to the frame, but positioning errors are possible that compromise the correct operation of the machine.
- The object of the present invention is to provide a machine for forming boxes with interchangeable punches and dies, which simplifies the shape-change operations, and eliminates the risks of misaligning the forming tools.
- According to the present invention, this object is achieved by a box-forming machine having the characteristics forming the subject of claim 1.
- The claims form an integral part of the disclosure provided here in relation to the invention.
- The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings, given purely by way of non-limiting example, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a box-forming machine, with some components removed, -
Figure 2 is a perspective view on an enlarged scale of the part indicated by the arrow II inFigure 1 , showing a step of assembling the dies, -
Figure 2A is a perspective view illustrating a variant of the chair ofFigure 2 , -
Figures 3 and4 are perspective views illustrating a first method for positioning the glue nozzles, and -
Figure 5 is a perspective view illustrating a second method for positioning the glue nozzles. - With reference to
Figure 1 ,numeral 10 indicates - in its entirety - a machine for forming boxes. Themachine 10 comprises amanipulator 12 including asupport structure 14 and amovable head 16. - The
machine 10 comprises afixed frame 18 on which the boxes are formed. Thefixed frame 18 comprises twoparallel guides 20 extending along a first horizontal direction X. The forming dies are intended to be assembled on theframe 18 in the manner described below. Themovable head 16 of therobot 12 carries one or moreinterchangeable punches 22, which are intended to cooperate with respective dies fixed to theframe 18. - With reference to
Figure 2 , themachine 10 comprises one ormore dies 24. Each die 24 comprises abase plate 26 and a formingsection 28 fixed to thebase plate 26. - The
base plate 26 of eachdie 24 comprises twopositioning elements 30 that engage theguides 20 in a sliding manner in the direction X. In the illustrated example, thepositioning elements 30 consist of ribs projecting from the lower surface of thebase plate 26 and which engagerespective grooves 32 of theguides 20. The engagement between thepositioning elements 30 and theguides 20 establishes a precise positioning of thedies 24 with respect to theframe 18 along a second horizontal Y direction Y, orthogonal to the first horizontal X direction X. - The
base plate 26 of eachdie 24 has afirst reference formation 34 configured for engaging arespective punch 22 to precisely position thedie 24 with respect to theframe 18 along the first horizontal direction X. In the example illustrated in the figures, thefirst reference formation 34 is formed by a C-shaped cut on an end portion of thebase plate 26. The cut has twoedges 34, parallel to the direction Y, which are in contact with respective surfaces of thepunch 22, parallel to each other. The reference formation 34 - from a constructional point of view - may assume different shapes, for example, it could be formed of a protruding rib parallel to the Y axis, which engages a corresponding groove formed on thepunch 22. - The
head 16 of therobot 12 is therefore used for the precise positioning of thedies 24 in the direction X. This solution is advantageous because it means there is always a precise alignment between thepunches 22 and therespective dies 24, even in the case of slight misalignments of thehead 16 of the robot due to tolerances, clearances, etc. - The shape-change operation envisages - in a first step - the replacement of the
punches 22 of thehead 16 of therobot 12. Then, thehead 16 is positioned in a predetermined reference position for the change of shape, in which thepunches 22 are arranged at precise coordinates in the direction X. Then, thedies 24 are assembled using thegrooves 32 of theguides 20 and thepunches 22 as geometric references for the assembly of thedies 24. More specifically, the operator carries out the assembly of thedies 24 by engaging thereference formations 34 with theirrespective punches 22, and inserting thepositioning elements 30 into thegrooves 32 of theguides 20. In this manner, the correct positioning of thedies 24 with respect to theframe 18 is ensured, both in the X direction and in the Y direction. - After having positioned the
dies 24, thedies 24 are fixed to theframe 18. In the example illustrated inFigure 2 for fixing thedies 24 to theframe 18,screws 36 are used, which are inserted throughholes 38 of thebase plate 26 and engage corresponding threadedholes 40 formed on one of theguides 20. Alternatively, as illustrated inFigure 2A , thescrews 36 engage respective T-nuts 41 inserted slidably into a T-slot 43 of one of theguides 20, parallel to thegroove 32. - After having positioned and fixed the
dies 24, thepunches 22 are disengaged from thereference formations 34, by moving thehead 16. - During operation, the flat sheets are positioned above the respective forming
sections 28 of thedies 24 and, subsequently, thepunches 22 are inserted with a vertical downwards movement into the respective formingsections 28. The cooperation between thepunches 22 and the formingsections 28 of thedies 24 carries out the formation of the boxes. - With reference to
Figures 3 to 5 , themachine 10 can be provided withglue nozzles 42 for applying glue onto the flat sheets before they are positioned on the formingsections 28 of thedies 24. When themachine 10 is provided withglue nozzles 42 during the change of shape, it is necessary to precisely position theglue nozzles 42 with respect to thedies 24. To this end, thebase plate 26 of eachdie 24 may be provided with at least onesecond reference formation 44 for positioning therespective glue nozzles 42. Theglue nozzles 42 are provided withrespective clamps 46 which engage abar 48 parallel to the direction X. Theglue nozzles 46 haverespective reference portions 50 which engage respectivesecond reference formations 44 of thebase plate 36. Theglue nozzles 42 are movable along thebar 48 to adjust the position of theglue nozzle 42 relative to thedies 24 in the direction X. - In the example illustrated in the figures, the
second reference formations 44 of thebase plates 26 are C-shaped cuts, and thereference portions 50 of theglue nozzles 42 have the shape of pins with a quadrangular cross-section that engage thecuts 44. Thesecond reference formations 34 could, however, be produced in any other way suitable to establish the positioning of theglue nozzles 42 with respect to thebase plate 26. - In the embodiment illustrated in
Figures 3 and4 , thebar 48 is rotatable relative to its longitudinal axis between a disengaged position (Figure 3 ) and a working position (Figure 4 ). When thebar 48 is in the disengaged position, theglue nozzles 42 can be moved along the axis of thebar 48 to align thereference portions 50 of theglue nozzles 42 with theirsecond reference formations 44 of thedies 24. After having aligned theglue nozzles 42, thebar 48 is rotated into the working position, in which thereference portions 50 of theglue nozzles 42 engage the respectivesecond reference formations 44 and ensure theglue nozzles 42 are correctly positioned with respect to thedies 24. - In an alternative embodiment illustrated in
Figure 5 , theclamps 46 of theglue nozzles 42 may be opened to allow a movement in the vertical direction of theglue nozzles 42 with respect to thebar 48. Theclamps 46 are closed after having positioned thereference portions 50 of theglue nozzles 42 into engagement with the respectivesecond reference formations 44. - From the above description, it is apparent that the change of shape in a machine according to the present invention excludes the possibility that operators commit positioning errors of the dies and, if provided, the glue nozzles. This shape-change system determines the alignment of the
punches 22 and of thedies 24, in a systematic manner, even in the presence of any clearances or tolerances of the robot head, because it uses the position of the punches already assembled on thehead 16 as a reference position for assembling thedies 24. In addition, for positioning theglue nozzles 42, the same dies 24 are used, so that the precise positioning of the dies 24 is ensured, in cascade, with respect to thepunches 22 and to theglue nozzles 42 with respect to the dies 24. - Of course, without prejudice to the principle of the invention, the details of construction and the embodiments can be widely varied with respect to those described and illustrated, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the claims that follow.
