Description
- The present invention relates to a wrapping assembly, in particular designed to wrap individual products such as chocolates, pastries, confectionery products, candy and foods of various types.
- Generally the products listed previously are individually wrapped so that the covering protects them from contact with the outside environment.
- The wrapping can be done with sheets of paper, polymeric sheets and/or metallic sheets (in particular sheets of aluminum).
- The conventional wrapping technique entails winding the sheet on each single product and folding the respective flaps that protrude onto the product properly. A wrapping assembly according to preamble of
claim 1 is known fromFR 2095615 A5 WO 2007/132330 A1 also discloses a wrapping assembly with radial grippers. - The size of the sheet corresponds substantially to the extension of the product, so that, once a kind of tube has been formed with the sheet around the product, the end flaps of the sheet are substantially juxtaposed.
- This type of packaging is sufficiently stable for products that are accommodated in dedicated seats (for example boxes in which each product is inserted into a respective seat). But when the products are distributed to the end customer in loose form, i.e. not accommodated in a respective seat of a box, it can happen that the wrapping can shift, thus becoming unstable and not completely effective in protecting the product.
- In particular, the two juxtaposed flaps (which are usually located below the product) can shift, in so doing uncovering a portion of product. This condition means the product can come into contact with the outside environment, with consequent possible damage and/or contamination.
- This need is particularly felt for confectionery products and chocolates wrapped in sheets of aluminum: the high frequency of mutual shift of the juxtaposed flaps makes the traditional wrapping partially ineffective and little appreciated by the customers.
- The aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a wrapping assembly that makes it possible to provide a stable packaging of individual products.
- Within this aim, an object of the invention is to provide a wrapping assembly that produces a wrapping with aesthetic characteristics similar to conventional wrappings but which guards against accidental opening and exposure of a portion of product to the outside environment.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a wrapping assembly with encumbrances and structural architecture that are substantially similar to those of conventional wrapping assemblies.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a wrapping assembly which is low cost, easily and practically implemented, and safe in use.
- This aim and these and other objects that will become more apparent hereinafter are achieved by a wrapping assembly according to
claim 1. - Further characteristics and advantages of the invention will become better apparent from the detailed description that follows of a preferred, but not exclusive, embodiment of the wrapping assembly according to the invention, which is illustrated by way of non-limiting example in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of part of a wrapping assembly according to the invention; -
Figure 2 is a schematic front elevation view of a wrapping assembly according to the invention in a first step of operation; -
Figure 3 is a schematic front elevation view of a wrapping assembly according to the invention in a second step of operation; -
Figure 4 is a schematic front elevation view of a wrapping assembly according to the invention in a third step of operation; -
Figure 5 is a schematic front elevation view of a wrapping assembly according to the invention in a fourth step of operation; -
Figure 6 is a schematic front elevation view of a wrapping assembly according to the invention in a fifth step of operation; -
Figure 7 is a schematic front elevation view of a wrapping assembly according to the invention; -
Figures 8, 9, 10, 11 ,12, 13, 14 and 15 are perspective views of the steps of the wrapping sequence carried out by the wrapping assembly according to the invention. - With reference to the figures, the
reference numeral 1 generally designates a wrapping assembly according to the invention. - The
wrapping assembly 1 comprises arotatable carousel 2 provided with a plurality ofradial grippers 3 for immobilizing at least one product A, with the interposition of at least one packaging sheet B. - The
assembly 1 is further provided with a series offolding stations stations - At a
main folding station 5, theassembly 1 according to the invention comprises at least onepusher 8 for immobilizing the at least one product A, partially covered with at least one respective sheet B, on themain folding station 5. - Also at the
main station 5, theassembly 1 further comprises at least oneactuation device 9 for opening at least one of thegrippers 3, with consequent release of the respective at least one product A. - Finally, the
assembly 1 comprises, at the main station, at least one foldinglamina 10 for juxtaposing a protruding flap C of the one sheet B on a side face of at least one respective product A, thus providing a substantially tubular covering around the at least one product A. - According to the invention, the
actuation device 9 comprises a controlledmotor 11 and acam 12. - It should be noted that each
gripper 3 comprises at least onearm 13 which is provided with an idle end roller 14, which can rotate on the cam 12: the rotation of theshaft 15 of the controlledmotor 11 and therefore of thecam 12 will generate a movement of thearm 13 by virtue of the action of the idle end roller 14, with consequent opposite movement of theother arm 16 functionally associated therewith. The movements of thearms gripper 3. - According to the invention, the
pusher 8 conveniently comprises anabutment block 17 arranged on the end of a tiltingarm 18. - The
tilting arm 18 will be movable between a first, passive configuration, in which theblock 17 is spaced apart from the respective folding station 5 (the main station), and an active configuration, in which theblock 17 is proximate to afixed plate 19 of thestation 5, with the interposition, between theblock 17 and theplate 19, of the at least one product A partially covered with the at least one respective sheet B and the corresponding immobilization in such position. - The controlled
motor 11 of theactuation device 9 and the tiltingarm 18 of thepusher 8 are synchronized and controlled by a control and management unit that can drive their movements according to conveniently synchronized laws of motion. - In particular, the active configuration of the pusher 8 (in which it retains the product A partially wrapped by the sheet B against the
fixed plate 19 of the station 5) and the opening of thegrippers 3 will be substantially simultaneous in order to deliver the product A by means of thegrippers 3 to the pusher 8 (and then subsequently pick it up again with thegrippers 3 when execution of the folds has been carried out completely). - According to a particularly efficient embodiment that is simple in practical application, the at least one folding
lamina 10 is rigidly coupled to aslider 20 which can move between an inactive configuration, in which it is retracted with respect to the at least one partially covered product A accommodated inside themain folding station 5 and in which thelamina 10 is spaced apart from the product A proper, and an active configuration, in which thelamina 10 is juxtaposed against a side face of the at least one product A with the interposition of the movable flap C of the sheet B that previously rested on the face during the advancement of thelamina 10. - In the transition from the inactive configuration to the active configuration of the
slider 20, thelamina 10 coupled thereto advances toward the product A, folding the flap C of the sheet B, which protrudes with respect to the outline of the product A proper, on a face of the product A and therefore completely encasing the product A with the sheet B (which assumes a tubular shape structure). - It is moreover useful to highlight that the
slider 20 can also positively support twoparallel side teeth 21 that are arranged at a distance that is similar to the length of the product A to be wrapped. - In the active configuration of the
slider 20, theteeth 21 will be juxtaposed against respective end heads of the at least one product A with the interposition of wings D of the sheet B which protrude with respect to the head, which are flattened onto it during the advancement of therespective teeth 21. - The
wrapping assembly 1 according to the invention further comprises at least one pair oftilting levers end beaks - With particular reference to the embodiment shown for the purposes of example in the accompanying figures, the pairs of
tilting levers levers 22 tilts above the partially wrapped product A in order to fold the upper wings F that protrude from the respective heads of the product A; a second pair oflevers 23 tilts below the partially wrapped product A in order to fold the lower wings E that protrude from the respective heads of the product A. - Finally it should be noted that the
wrapping assembly 1 according to the invention comprises asecondary folding station 6, arranged downstream of themain folding station 5 with respect to the trajectory of thegrippers 3 during the rotation of thecarousel 2. - Between the
main station 5 and the secondary station 6 astatic folding unit 26 can be conveniently arranged for folding the last wings G, which protrude from the respective heads of the product A. - In essence the product A, during the transfer from the
main station 5 to thesecondary station 6, will pass through a pair ofstatic folding units 26 arranged at a mutual distance equal to the length of the product A: during such pass-through, the wings G will be folded back onto the respective head of the product A gradually (because thestatic folding units 26 have a helical shape structure, they will intervene on the wing G progressively, gradually bringing it closer to the respective head). - It should be noted that there is also a terminal station 7 in which the wrapped product A is expelled onto a pickup line: the expulsion can be positively carried out by way of an
expulsion lever mechanism 27. - The folding of the flap C so as to overlap the opposite flap of the sheet B, achieved through the folding carried out by the
lamina 10, ensures that the product A is correctly protected and that the wrapping remains stably arranged along the outer surfaces of the product A proper, isolating them from the outside environment. - The movements for opening and closing the
grippers 3, separate from the step of opening that takes place in thestation 5 when the product A is delivered to thepusher 8, are generated by way of cams arranged on thecarousel 2 and not shown in the accompanying figures (and which in any case are conventional). - Advantageously the present invention solves the above mentioned problems, by providing a
wrapping assembly 1 that makes it possible to provide a stable packaging of individual products A. - Conveniently the
wrapping assembly 1 provides a wrapping with aesthetic characteristics similar to conventional wrappings but which guards against accidental opening and exposure of a portion of product A to the outside environment. - Conveniently the
wrapping assembly 1 has encumbrances and structural architecture that are substantially similar to those of conventional wrapping assemblies: for this reason it can be installed simply in conventional production systems. - Positively the
