Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for quickly and effectively putting lids on conventional cardboard boxes by placing a flat lid equipped with perimeter flaps that are folded around the opening of the box and pressed so that they are fixed through the actuation of an applied glue.
  • Machines related to the manufacturing of cardboard boxes are already known in the current state of the art.
  • the boxes that are manufactured come from sheets of cardboard that are die cut with the certain measurements for the formation of the box in particular. These boxes can be open or with flaps in order to be closed later.
  • a machine according to preamble of claim 1 is known from US 6048421 .
  • the closing process of the machines is also known in the state of the art, being generally used in the industry and, mainly, by companies dedicated to supplying parcels. Once the boxes have been filled, the closing process must be performed. In these cases, a distinction is made between the boxes with flaps and open boxes without flaps.
  • the boxes without flaps also comprise an initial phase in which they must be closed by means of an independent lid.
  • the lids used can be of two types: those that incorporate a perimeter flange, such that they fit in the open perimeter edge of the box intended to be closed and others that are simply a flat sheet that is placed on the box.
  • the closure must comprise an additional phase consisting on fastening the lid to the box.
  • the application of sealing tape or strapping bands is used, such that the closing is definitive and must be broken in order to open the box.
  • the present invention solves this problem by presenting a machine for putting lids on boxes that incorporates a lid with perimeter flaps that are folded and subsequently joined to the box by means of glue.
  • a machine for putting lids on boxes that incorporates a lid with perimeter flaps that are folded and subsequently joined to the box by means of glue.
  • the present invention relates to a machine for putting lids on boxes by means of the implementation of a flat lid with flaps that are folded in order to be joined to the box by means of glue.
  • the machine comprises a supply area, a working area and an exit area.
  • the supply area incorporates a conveyor track, at least one mechanism with elevators that acts on a box during a certain time, such that the box is elevated and immobilized, pausing the supply of boxes.
  • the supply area incorporates brakes that, with the box in an elevated position, hold it such that the immobilization thereof is ensured, either by giving it stability or by preventing it from being pushed by a box that comes from behind. It also incorporates a station for reading dimensions for capturing the dimensions of the box.
  • the working area incorporates at least one gluing device configured to apply glue on a box, a lid or both. It also incorporates two devices for putting on lids.
  • the device for putting on lids comprises a vertical actuation mechanism connected to a cross-shaped end that incorporates two tracks located in parallel in order to house the lid.
  • the cross-shaped end also incorporates, on each of the arms, a folding device that is used, once the vertical actuation mechanism is unfolded, for folding the flaps of the lid and maintaining the pressure during a predetermined time.
  • Each of the folding devices incorporates an actuator and can be positioned along the respective arms of the cross-shaped end, such that they are valid for different lid sizes. The rotating movement of each folding device is activated upon exerting pressure on the actuators.
  • a lid-positioning device configured for moving a lid and positioning it on the tracks of the device for putting on lids.
  • the exit area also incorporates a conveyor track for extracting the boxes from the machine.
  • the machine can incorporate a mechanical arm with at least one vacuum suction cup and a lid feeder.
  • the mechanical arm can be moved in order to extract lids from the feeder by means of the vacuum suction cups.
  • the device for putting on lids of the machine can also comprise a thrust plate fastened to the cross-shaped end by means of at least one retractable shaft.
  • the lid Upon unfolding the vertical actuation mechanism, the lid is positioned on the box. As it continues to unfold, the lid leaves the tracks until the thrust plate touches the lid and exerts pressure on a large surface of the lid, helping to adjust the position of the lid on the box.
  • the retractable shafts are contracted, such that the thrust plate is retracted and exerts pressure on the actuators, which cause the rotating movement of the folding devices.
  • the machine comprises two devices for putting on lids configured to act simultaneously on two lids.
  • one of the devices for putting on lids is unfolded in order to exert pressure on a lid, instead of remaining static so that a pusher subsequently drags the box, it is the very device for putting on lids that drags the box, so that time is used to the fullest extent possible.
  • the devices for putting on lids are located in positions facing each other with respect to the longitudinal shaft of the conveyor track and they are configured to be moved along respective tracks parallel to the conveyor track such that they do not interfere with each other.
  • the other device for putting on lids moves in the folded position in the return direction.
  • the activation of the different components of the machine can be carried out by means of electro-mechanical means.
  • it controls the cadence of the boxes in the supply area, the activation and stopping of the pushers, the activation of the mechanical arm and the suction cups for extracting a lid, the activation of the lid-positioning device for placing the lid on the tracks of the device for putting on lids and the activation of the device for putting on lids.
  • the machine can also incorporate electronic means for controlling the process, such as a microprocessor configured, in addition to activating the different components of the machine, to receive the data obtained in the station for reading dimensions making it accessible to the gluing devices and to the devices for putting on lids, so that they obtain data on the height of the box, the position of the lid and the dimensions of the lid.
  • the different components are electrically connected with the microprocessor, physically or by wireless means.
  • the gluing devices apply the beads of glue in the predetermined position, and the devices for putting on lids have information on the height at which they are to be positioned so that the thrust plates may exert pressure on the lids.
  • the present invention relates to a machine for putting lids on boxes (10) by implementing a flat lid (9) with flaps that are folded in order to join them to the box (10) by means of glue.
  • the machine has a configuration consisting of a supply area (1), a working area (2) and an exit area (3).
  • a box (10) will be monitored in the complete path thereof through the machine.
  • the boxes (10) are provided in a supply area (1), located at one end of the machine.
  • the supply area (1) incorporates a conveyor track (4) and a station (5) for reading dimensions.
  • the conveyor track (4) is preferably made up of a series of movable rollers (7) for transporting the boxes (10). It is divided into a first initial section through which the boxes (10) access the machine, or stop section, and a final section or movable section.
  • the stop section incorporates mechanisms that incorporate elevators (6) located beneath the level of the movable rollers (7) that, upon being activated, are elevated, rising above the movable rollers (7), elevating with them a box (10) that is found in that location.
  • This effect causes the box (10) to stop being in contact with the rollers (7) and, therefore, stop being transported, causing a stop in the supply of boxes (10) to the movable section.
  • This stop will be based on the time required in the processing in the working area (2) of the machine, such that the cadence is as required.
  • the machine also incorporates brakes (24) that are activated at the same time as the elevators (6), such that when the box (10) is elevated, they hold it, leaving it immobilized, eliminating the low stability of the box (10) on the elevators (6) and preventing it from being pushed by another box (10).
  • the brakes (24) are also deactivated and the box (10) comes back into contact with the movable rollers (7), and starts to move in order to continue through the movable section until reaching the station (5) for reading dimensions, located at the end of the supply area (1).
  • the box (10) is transported to a certain position in the station (5) for reading dimensions, in which there are no rollers (7) and they cannot continue dragging it, the box (10) being stopped. In this position the dimensions of the box (10) are read by means of a scanner, optical viewfinder, probes or any other similar means.
  • the conveyor track (4) can also be made up of continuous belts or any other means of transportation, as long as it leaves open spaces between the upper area and the lower area, such that the aforementioned elevator mechanisms (6) can act.
  • a first gluing device is responsible for applying glue in the upper sections of the two sides of the box (10) parallel to the direction of movement.
  • the gluing device can be made up of rollers in contact with the respective glue tanks thereof and located on both sides of the box (10) in the positions defined in the station (5) for reading dimensions, such that the very movement of the box (10) activates the movement of the rollers that, while they start being soaked in glue on one side, start gluing on the other.
  • the gluing device can also be made up of glue applicator guns that are activated as a box (10) passes. The gluing device is not represented in the figures.
  • a lid feeder (9) together with a mechanical arm (19) that incorporates hydraulically activated vacuum suction cups (11).
  • the suction cups (11) are positioned on the surface of the lid (9) that is going to be extracted and, by creating a vacuum, the lid (9) is adhered to the suction cups (11), the mechanical arm (19) returning to the original position thereof with the lid (9) adhered.
  • the machine also incorporates a second gluing device that applies glue on the flaps of the lid (9) located perpendicular to the direction of movement of the boxes (10). It should be noted that the glue is applied along the lower area of the lids (9), in other words, along the surface gripped by the suction cups (11).
  • the second gluing device is also not shown in the figures.
  • a lid-positioning device (12) such as the one represented in Figure 5 , is responsible for moving the lid (9) by means of a lid pusher (13) from the position in the mechanical arm (19) to tracks (23) located in device (14) for putting on lids.
  • the pushers (8) have brought the box (10) to a position of the working area (2) in which it remains stopped so that a lid (9) may be placed on top of it and fastened.
  • the four flaps of the lid (9), the four upper edges of the box (10) or two edges of the box (10) and two flaps of the lid (9) are impregnated with glue so that they may proceed to the gluing.
  • the device (14) for putting on lids meets the lid (9), which will proceed to position it in the box (10) and fold the flaps of the lid (9) to the box (10).
  • a device (14) for putting on lids in the working area (2) there is a device (14) for putting on lids, as shown in Figure 6 , configured by a vertical actuation mechanism (15) that incorporates a cross-shaped end (16) in the lower end thereof.
  • a vertical actuation mechanism (15) that incorporates a cross-shaped end (16) in the lower end thereof.
  • tracks (23) for the location of a lid (9).
  • a folding device (17) which function is to fold each of the flaps of the lid (9) on the box (10).
  • From the cross-shaped end (16) retractable shafts (22) protrude ending in a thrust plate (20). Two shafts (22) have been represented although a single shaft or more than two could be incorporated.
  • Each folding device (17) incorporates an actuator (21) located in the vicinity of the thrust plate (20).
  • the lid (9) Upon unfolding the vertical actuation mechanism (15), the lid (9) is positioned on the box (10). As it continues to unfold, the lid (9) comes into contact with the box (10) and leaves the tracks (23). The thrust plate (20) then comes into contact with the lid (9) and exerts pressure on it and the retractable shafts (22) are contracted, such that the thrust plate (20) retracts and exerts pressure on the actuators (21), which activate the rotating movement of the folding devices (17).
  • Figure 7 represents a cross-sectional view of the arms of the cross-shaped end (16) that contain the tracks (23), showing details of these components.
  • Each of the mentioned folding devices (17) has the ability to move along the respective arm in which it is located of the cross-shaped end (16), such that they can be adapted to the dimensions of the box (10) that will have a lid put on it.
  • the device (14) for putting on lids In idle position, the device (14) for putting on lids is stowed, folded in an elevated position. Upon being activated, it descends in order to place the lid (9) on the box (10), and as it continues to descend, the lid (9) is released from the tracks (23) so that the thrust plate (20) may exert pressure on the lid (9) and activate the folding devices (17), which fold the four flaps of the lid (9) on the box (10).
  • the folding devices (17) keep exerting pressure on the flaps in order to let the glue act during a predetermined time and efficiently perform the gluing of the flaps to the box (10). After a predetermined time has elapsed, the folding devices (17) stop acting and the device (14) for putting on lids is folded again, returning to the idle position thereof. Then the pushers (8) are reactivated, transporting the box (10), with the lid (9) already glued, to the exit area (3).
  • two devices (14) for putting on lids are arranged, in order to improve productivity.
  • the devices (14) for putting on lids are located in a position facing the longitudinal shaft of the conveyor track (4) and can be displaced along the tracks parallel to the conveyor track (4) along the working area (2).
  • One of the differences with respect to the embodiment with a single device (14) for putting on lids is that, on this occasion, when one of the devices (14) for putting on lids is unfolded, with the thrust plate (20) exerting pressure on the lid (9), instead of remaining static so that later a pusher (8) may drag the box (10), the very device (14) for putting on lids drags the box, so that time is used to the fullest extent possible.
  • the device (14) for putting on lids folds and returns to the original position thereof in order to act on the next lid (9).
  • the devices (14) for putting on lids return to the folded position.
  • it is like the arrangement of two opposing "C" elements that, in order to reduce space and be able to move in parallel directions, move vertically so that the arm of one of the "C's" circulates through the cavity of the other "C".
  • the exit area (3) incorporates a conveyor track (4) for extracting the boxes (10) from the machine.
  • the conveyor track (4) both in the supply area (1) as well as in the exit area (3), is intended to activate the movement of the boxes (10) when they are on it. This can be achieved by mechanically connecting the rollers (7) or belts that make it up to a motorized mechanism so that they drag the boxes (10) or, for example, by causing the conveyor track (4) to be in an inclined position, such that the boxes (10) move by gravity.
  • the machine can incorporate a microprocessor that processes the data obtained in the station (5) for reading dimensions and uses it for the rest of the components, in particular for the following two:
