Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling a container, in particular a carton, with products, in particular packages, wherein the products are successively introduced into the container and deposited in an ordered formation, and wherein the container is provided for filling with products by a handling device, and wherein the containers are fed by means of a first conveyor of the handling device, and wherein the filled containers are transported downstream of the handling device by means of a second conveyor, and wherein the products of the handling device are supplied by means of a third conveyor, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 8.
  • the object of the invention is to further develop methods and devices of the type mentioned in the introduction, in particular with regard to a small space requirement.
  • a method for achieving this object has the features of claim 1. It has surprisingly been found that such a solution has a small footprint.
  • Another special feature may be that between the first conveyor and the second conveyor an upright transport path runs, along which the filled containers are transported in the direction of the second conveyor, wherein in the upright transport section several, preferably two, containers are handled simultaneously, such that while a container is introduced into the transport route, an already filled container is discharged from the transport path.
  • the containers are handled in the region of the upright transport path by cardboard grippers which are moved along two linear axes arranged in a same plane, wherein the cardboard grippers are swung out of the plane of the linear axes, in particular on different sides. so that the cardboard grippers can be moved past each other without collision of the respective container.
  • the procedure is such that the products are fed individually and spaced apart on the third conveyor and then assembled into a group and inserted into a container, wherein preferably a group of products corresponds to a layer of products in the container, and preferably the products from the third conveyor to a grouping conveyor on which the products are assembled into a group, the grouping conveyor being directed transversely to the third conveyor, and the group of products being transverse to the conveying direction of the grouping conveyor and parallel to the conveyor belt Transport direction of the third conveyor of this off and is inserted into the container.
  • the filled cardboard is deposited from the cardboard gripper and then pushed off transversely to the transport direction of the second conveyor on the second conveyor.
  • a device according to the invention has the features of claim 8.
  • a plurality of carton grippers are provided for handling at least one container, the carton grippers being movable up and down along an upright linear axis, and wherein the linear axes are arranged in a same upright plane, and wherein the carton grippers are adapted to pivot the containers relative to the plane to allow the carton grippers to move past each other with the containers.
  • Another special feature may be that the handling device is mounted longitudinally displaceable in the transport direction of the second conveyor in order to adapt the device to the handling of containers of different sizes.
  • the longitudinal extension of the first conveyor in the direction of the handling device can be changed, in particular by a telescopically extendable or retractable end of the first conveyor in order to adapt the device to the handling of containers of different sizes.
  • first conveyor for feeding the container to the handling device and the second conveyor for transporting the filled container are arranged following the handling device on different horizontal planes, in particular substantially one above the other, wherein it is preferably provided that the transport direction the two conveyors differ from each other.
  • Another special feature may be that between the third conveyor and the handling device and between the handling device and the second conveyor each have a (short) transverse transport path is arranged, the Direction of transport is directed in each case transversely to the transport direction of the first conveyor, the second conveyor and the third conveyor.
  • the containers 11 are transported along a first conveyor 12 and fed to a handling device 13. In the area of the handling device 13, the containers 11 are filled with products 10.
  • the transport of the container 11 on the first conveyor 12 is empty or unfilled.
  • the containers 11 are transported standing on the first conveyor 12, ie with the top open, over which the filling takes place.
  • the containers 11 are detected by cardboard grippers 14, 15.
  • a container 11 is held by a cardboard gripper 14, 15. It is also conceivable that a plurality of containers 11, for example two containers 11, are held by a cardboard gripper 14, 15.
  • two cardboard grippers 14, 15 are provided in the region of the handling device 13 and can be moved up and down along an own linear axis 16, 17 in the upright direction.
  • the cardboard gripper 14, 15 are mounted pivotable or rotatable.
  • the container 11 After a container 11 (or a plurality of containers 11) has been detected by a cardboard gripper 14, 15, the container 11 is first rotated by about 90 ° so that the open side of the container 11 faces sideways to fill the container 11 accordingly ,
  • the filled container 11 is moved downwards with the cardboard gripper 14, 15 along the linear axis 16, 17 and pivoted back and set down. Thereafter, the filled container 11 is transported on a second conveyor 18 and closed.
  • the products 10 are fed on a third conveyor 19 in the direction of the handling device 13. Before the products 10 reach the handling device 13, the products 10 are first assembled on a grouping conveyor 20 into groups 21 of products 10, which are then filled into the container 11 in the handling device 13.
  • a group 21 of products 10 After forming a group 21, it is displaced laterally in the longitudinal direction of the grouping conveyor 20 and introduced into the container 11 by means of a slide 22.
  • a group 21 of products 10 will correspond to a position in the container 11, so that the container 11 is slightly lowered after the supply of a group 21 and the next group 21 is supplied. This is repeated until the intended filling quantity is reached in the container 11.
  • a first particularity is the arrangement of the conveyors 12, 18, 19. These are arranged in (slightly offset) parallel, vertical planes, so that the entire device has a rather narrow, oblong orientation or requires a corresponding footprint.
  • conveyors 12, 18 are arranged in superimposed horizontal planes, which also saves space.
  • Substantially all of the transport of the containers 11, products 10 or groups 21 takes place in the parallel, vertical planes. Only in the area of the grouping conveyor 20 and during the feeding of the filled containers 11 to the second conveyor 18 are short transport paths in the transverse direction provided. For example, without such transverse transport, the conveyors 12, 18, 19 could also be arranged (substantially) in the same vertical plane.
  • Fig. 6 refers to an advantageous variant of the device with regard to an adaptation for handling containers of different sizes 11.
  • the two linear axes 16, 17 can be moved laterally together in a horizontal plane to the distance to the slider 22 decrease or increase as the size of the containers 11 changes.
  • the linear axes 16, 17 are mounted displaceably via a further linear axis 33.
  • an end 31 of the first conveyor 12 facing the handling device can be telescoped in order to be adapted to the position of the linear axes 16, 17 or the handling device 13.
  • a pick-and-place unit 34 is used instead of a slide 22 for feeding the products 10 into the container 11.
  • the unit 34 has a preferably pneumatically operating gripping head 35 for receiving products 10 and settling them in the container 11.
  • the unit 34 has a drive 36 for rotating the unit 34 about a horizontal axis between a pick-up position and a delivery position.
  • the unit 34 has a linear axis 37, by means of which the gripping head 35 can be retracted or extended.
  • the products 10 are fed and held to the insertion hopper 30 or other platform as described.
  • a slider 22 for Abschub from Gruppier conditioninger 20 can be a slider 22 as in Fig. 6 However, serve the products 10 but not in the container 11, but only in the working area of the unit 34. However, it is also conceivable to dispense with such a slider 22 and, for example, a recording of the products 10 directly on or from Gruppieracier 20th In the in Fig. 7 shown in dashed lines, the unit 34 is oriented substantially vertically, with retracted gripping head 35 which detects the product 10 from above and receives.
  • the unit 34 is rotated by the drive 36 in the dispensing position and the product introduced by extending the gripping head 35 by means of the linear axis 37 in the container 11 and finally stored there.
  • the container 11 is held obliquely by means of the cardboard gripper 14, preferably in accordance with the inclination of the unit 34, for example in 45 °.
  • the filling of the container 11 is repeated by resuming and settling of products 10.
  • the container 11 is removed as described.
