Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a multiformat box closing machine, which starts from open boxes loaded with products, and comprises loading means, gluing means and closing means.
  • the object of the invention is a multiformat box closing machine which allows for closing boxes that comprise at least one flap, or one upper side, and at least one support flange, for any cardboard box format, all with the same machine, without the need to change the orientation of the box during the closing thereof and at a higher speed than existing multiformat box closing machines, thereby saving stoppage times and the costs associated thereto.
  • the object of the invention is also a multiformat closing method for boxes that comprise at least one flap, or one upper side, and at least one support flange, for any cardboard box format, which has the aforementioned advantages.
  • Cardboard boxes are a widely used medium for the storage, transport and distribution of all types of products. Manufacturing and distribution companies use cardboard boxes to package their products in packing units for the subsequent storage, transport and distribution thereof.
  • box forming machines are equipped with a loader that dispenses, one by one, the die-cut sheets to the shaping area, where a number of automatisms fold the perimetral flanges of the sheets, in order to obtain the bottom and the lateral walls of the box, and subsequently glue them.
  • the partially formed box leaves the forming machine, it is filled with the product to be transported and, thereafter, is transferred to a closing machine that closes the box, in order to complete the forming thereof and allow for subsequent transport.
  • Box closing is a simple method that is often not given the importance that it deserves, since a poorly-closed box, with overlapping flaps, may affect the stability of a pallet, and eventually ruin a load during transport.
  • Well-closed boxes make it possible to increase stacking levels in the truck and reduce transport costs, and, moreover, improves the image of the company in the eyes of its clients.
  • Document US 3 007 376 discloses a device and method for closing filled cartons.
  • the cartons are placed on a conveyor, the carton has top flaps, the end closure flap further has extending ears (support flanges).
  • Adhesive is applied to the inner surfaces of the top flaps and ears.
  • the extending ears are then being pressed against the sidewall by pressure belts to ensure proper adhesion.
  • the application of glue is performed by means of nozzles that remain fixed whilst the box moves forward on the machine, thereby creating one or several glue strings in the forward direction of movement of the box.
  • the present invention relates to a multiformat box closing machine which allows for the closing of boxes that comprise at least one flap, or one upper side, and at least one support flange, for any cardboard box format, all with the same machine, without the need to change the orientation of the box during the closing thereof, and at a higher speed than existing multiformat box closing machines, thereby saving stoppage times and the costs associated thereto.
  • the multiformat box closing machine performs the closing starting from open boxes loaded with products, and the machine comprises box loading means, box gluing means and box closing means.
  • the loading means comprise at least a set of box positioning means in a forward direction of movement towards the closing means, which makes it possible to increase the box closing speed.
  • the closing means comprise at least one upper blade configured to perform the closing of the flap(s), or the upper side, and at least one lateral blade configured to perform the closing of the support flange(s).
  • the gluing means comprise at least one first glue gun configured to apply glue to the support flange(s) with the flap(s), or the upper side, in an open position.
  • the first glue gun(s) configured to apply glue to the support flange(s) with the flap(s), or one upper side, and the support flange(s) in the open position is(are) configured to apply glue to the support flange(s) with the flap(s), or the upper side, and the support flange(s) in a vertical position.
  • the first glue gun(s) configured to apply glue to the support flange(s) with said support flange(s) in the open position comprise(s) guiding means designed to place the flap(s), or the upper side, and the support flange(s) in the open position.
  • the first glue gun(s) comprise(s) a set of product relocating means, in case that the height of the products exceeds that of the box, which actuate prior to the application of glue by means of the first glue gun(s).
  • the closing means comprise a first set of actuating means designed to perform the displacement of the upper blade(s) from a first rest position to a second position for the closing of the flap(s), or the upper side, and a second set of actuating means designed to perform the displacement of the lateral blade(s) from a first rest position to a second position for the closing of the support flange(s).
  • the gluing means comprise at least one second glue gun configured to apply glue to the flap(s), or the upper side of the box, once said box has been closed, thereby guaranteeing stability of the boxes when they are stacked.
  • the second glue gun(s) configured to apply glue to the flap(s), or the upper side of the box, once said box has been closed comprise(s) means for detecting the open position of the flap(s), or the upper side, and the support flange(s) once the box has been closed by means of the closing means, which prevents the glue applied by means of the second glue gun(s) configured to apply glue to the flap(s), or the upper side of the box, once said box has been closed from applying glue to the product due to incorrect closing of the box.
  • the multiformat box closing machine comprises detection means configured to determine whether or not the placement of the flap(s), or the upper side of the box, and the support flange(s) is correct once the closing means have actuated on the box, which prevents the application of glue to the product placed inside the box by the second glue gun(s), by expelling the box from the method, if applicable.
