Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for inserting products in receptacles, in particular for inserting food products in wells made by deep drawing a film web.
  • the invention also relates to a packaging machine with at least one such loading device.
  • the invention relates to a processing line for food products with at least one device for slicing the products, a packaging machine and at least one product feed between the slicing device and at least one loading device of the packaging machine.
  • Such insertion robots are typically embodied as robots with a so-called parallel kinematic and are referred to, for example, as delta robots, pick-and-place robots or simply pickers.
  • the packaging machine and the infeed robot are each provided with a separate support frame, wherein the support frame of the inserter robot is also referred to as a robot cell.
  • a typical known structure provides that the robot cell is placed on the packaging machine in the manner of a bridge and thus supported on both sides next to the packaging machine on the ground, which is supported on its own support frame within the robot cell itself on the ground.
  • the robot cell during assembly on the packaging machine has to be "threaded” in a longitudinal direction, since the packaging machine typically has a continuous chain drive for film conveying, which can not be “penetrated” in any other way.
  • a disadvantage of the known structure consequently, that due to the separate support structures, a high construction and installation effort is required. In addition, much valuable space is needed to set up such an assembly of packaging machine and inlay robot.
  • a loading device with a supported in the established operating condition on the ground support frame comprising a plurality of interconnected support members and defines a transport passage for moving during operation in a transport direction through the support frame through recordings, with an am Carrier supported or formed by the support frame transport and / or guide means for moving the recordings through the support frame or with a supported on the support frame or formed by the support frame connection for a transport and / or guide device for moving the recordings through the support frame, and with at least one three-dimensional, extending both longitudinally and transversely to the transport direction Robot cell, is supported on the at least one inlay robot for inserting products in itself located in the transport passage recordings, wherein the support frame is formed by the robot cell.
  • the invention provides an integrated construction of inlay robot and packaging machine.
  • the support frame according to the invention is formed by the robot cell, the packaging machine and the inlay robot have a common frame or a common support cell, so that packaging machine and inlay robots merge to a unity as it were.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that additional devices such as guards and covers no longer need to be provided twice, but need to be designed only once for the robot cell according to the invention. This minimizes the number of components required and the cleaning effort.
  • the transport and / or guide device is designed as part of a packaging machine.
  • a packaging machine which is arranged downstream of a thermoforming station of the packaging machine, at which the receptacles for the products in the form of deep-drawn recesses of a film web are produced.
  • the film web can be held on both sides of each of a conveyor chain over which the film web transported through the transport passage of the support frame and thereby guided.
  • an insertion region of a work area of the inserter robot located in transport passage has a length extending along the transport direction and a width extending transversely to the transport direction, wherein in most cases the length is greater than the width and in particular is a multiple of the width. Conversely, however, the width can be greater than the length.
  • the insertion area is that area of the working area that can be covered by the inlay robot, in which the insertion robot can insert products into the receptacles.
  • the support frame is formed asymmetrically such that vertically extending center planes of the transport passage and the support frame, which extend parallel to the transport direction, are laterally offset from each other.
  • the asymmetry allows the infeed robot to be transversely, i. perpendicular to the transport direction to position off-center with respect to the transport passage.
  • the insertion robot and in particular its working area can be designed and dimensioned such that the insertion robot can cover a removal area located laterally next to the transport passage and at the same time the insertion area of the working area of the insertion robot can extend at least substantially over the entire width of the transport passage.
  • the center plane of the support frame extends in the region of a lateral boundary of the transport passage and in particular centrally between the insertion area and the removal area of the deposit robot.
  • An advantage of such an asymmetrical design of the support frame is that the removal area and the insertion area can be very close to each other.
  • the products to be introduced enter the removal area, in particular by means of a product supply provided for this purpose, and the recordings move through the deposit area of the deposit robot.
  • the infeed robot needs only a relatively short reach to cover the product feed and the transport passage.
  • a loading robot having a certain working range can cover a comparatively wide product supply and a relatively wide transport passage.
  • an inlay robot with a comparatively small range can cover relatively wide format sets of products or operate from recordings.
  • As a set of formats generally arrangements of products or recordings are referred to, in which the products or receptacles are arranged in one or more rows and one or more columns.
  • the robot cell projects laterally beyond the transport passage. In this way, an asymmetric configuration of the support frame can be realized.
  • the insertion robot may be a parallel kinematics robot.
  • the insertion robot is designed as a delta robot, pick-and-place robot or picker.
  • the robot can also be, for example, a 2D robot, a 3D robot or a gantry robot. These robots are also referred to as converters.
  • a connection for a product supply to the support frame can be supported or formed by the support frame.
  • products to be imported reach the acceptance area of the infeed robot via the product feeder.
  • connection for the product supply either formed by the support frame itself or supported on the support frame, the relative positioning between the infeed robot and the product supply by means of the fixed connection with respect to the support frame is given.
  • the product feed interface can be configured to couple such a product feed to the support frame, which is formed as a belt system or a shuttle system that includes a web system and a plurality of individually movable transporters in the web system.
  • the support frame which is formed as a belt system or a shuttle system that includes a web system and a plurality of individually movable transporters in the web system.
  • the support frame for the transport and / or guide device or its connection and for the connection of the product supply comprises at least one common support element.
  • a central support element may be provided in particular centrally with respect to the transport direction in the support frame.
  • the common support element can constructively form the starting point or the reference plane for all provided extensions.
  • the packaging machine is then arranged on one side of the central support element and there is the products to be imported zoom leading product supply the other side of the central support element.
  • a film conveyor in particular a chain guide of the packaging machine
  • elements of the product supply are grown, such as tape cassettes, side members or other support elements of a conveyor the product feed. Consequently, two machine frames are not only brought together by means of the central support element, but connected directly to each other.
  • the transport and / or guide device or its connection comprises a guide for a circumferential, upstream entering the support frame and downstream of the support frame escaping transport member for the recordings.
  • the transport member is used to hold a film web with recesses produced by deep drawing.
  • the transport member comprises one or more conveyor chains.
  • a transport plane may be defined, in which the shots are moved through the support frame during operation, wherein below the transport plane installation space and / or storage space for one or more operating components of the deposit robot and / or a packaging machine, in which the device integrated is, is provided.
  • the space occupied by the support frame can be used optimally.
  • At least one handling device in particular a lifting device
  • the support frame has a coupling device for at least one handling device, in particular a lifting device.
  • At least one storage space for at least one operating component is provided on the support frame.
  • This operating component can be, for example, a deep-drawing tool for a deep-drawing station of a packaging machine.
  • the operating component may also be a component of the loading robot, for example a gripping unit. This can speed up a transition to other products or other packaging formats.
  • a component change system is integrated in the support frame.
  • This change system can be provided, for example, for at least one component of a packaging machine, preferably for deep-drawing tools, and / or for at least one component of the inserter robot.
  • the component change system may include at least one simple tool to facilitate the handling of larger component weights.
  • Such an aid can e.g. a cantilever, a suspension device or a correspondingly arranged and trained receiving position on the support frame.
  • the insertion device according to the invention can be designed as a separately manageable module of a packaging machine and have at least one interface for a module of the packaging machine arranged upstream or downstream with respect to the transport direction.
  • the invention also relates to a packaging machine with at least one loading device according to the invention and with at least one work station, which is arranged upstream or downstream of the loading device in the transport direction.
  • an insertion area of the inserter robot located in the transport passage can be adjusted by adjusting a working position of the inserter robot relative to the robot cell.
  • the insertion area can be aligned at a predetermined by the operation of the packaging machine grid of images, preferably in the longitudinal and / or transverse direction. In this way, the insertion robot can be matched exactly with respect to its positioning on the operation of the packaging machine.
  • inaccuracies or tolerances which are complicated to adjust at many points are avoided in that according to the invention for the insertion robot and the packaging machine or its transport and / or guide device a common support structure in the form of the robot cell forming the support frame is available.
  • An introduction of the products to be inserted with respect to the transport direction from both the left and from the right side is particularly easy to implement, if according to a further embodiment, the loading device without changing the position of the loading area of the stacker robot in the transport direction in two rotated by 180 ° orientations in the packaging machine is integrable.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a processing line for food products with at least one device for slicing the products, in particular a high-performance slicer, with a packaging machine comprising at least one loading device according to the invention, for example as explained above, and with at least one product feed between the slicing device and at least one loading device of the packaging machine.
  • the product feed may be formed as a belt system or as a shuttle system, the shuttle system comprising a rail system and a plurality of individually movable transporters in the rail system.
  • the product supply is supported on the support frame of the loading device.
  • the robot cell of the insertion device projects laterally beyond the transport passage and the projection of the robot cell is located above the product supply.
  • At least two insertion robots or insertion devices are arranged one behind the other in the transport direction and two immediately successive removal areas or groups of removal areas of the insertion robots are located on different or opposite sides with respect to the transport direction. In this way, both sides of the insertion device can be used. This enables a high degree of packing density of infeed robots in the transport direction.
  • a track of a product supply is provided, which is designed as a shuttle system comprising a railway system comprising the railway track and a plurality of individually movable in the railway system Transportmovern.
  • the web path preferably runs at least substantially rectilinearly and parallel to the transport direction.
  • Inserting device shown comprises a bottom-supporting robot cell 17 which forms a support frame with a plurality of interconnected support members.
  • the robot cell 17 defines a transport passage 13, through which during operation in a transport direction T ( Fig. 1 ) Recordings 11 are moved through, in which 18 food products are inserted by means of an attached to the robot cell 17 deposit robot.
  • Fig. 2 shows, the robot cell 17 protrudes in the upper area to one side.
  • the robot cell 17 or the support frame formed by it is asymmetrical with respect to a, in the transport direction T extending, vertical center plane 25 of the transport passage. Consequently, the mentioned center plane 25 of the transport passage 13 and a center plane 27 of the robot cell 17, which passes through vertical elements 42 of the robot cell 17, are arranged laterally offset parallel to one another.
  • the support of the robot 18 suspended in the interior of the robot cell 17, which is provided here in the form of a so-called picker, is located approximately centrally with respect to a transverse direction perpendicular to the transport direction T and thus in the region of the center plane 27 passing through the vertical elements 42 Insertion robot 18 can be changed relative to the robot cell 17 in the setup of the processing line and thereby adjusted in the longitudinal direction and transverse direction for adaptation to the packaging machine.
  • the infeed robot 18 is consequently located approximately in the middle between an insert area 21 in the transport passage 13 and a removal area 29 laterally adjacent to the transport passage 13, from which the infeed robot 18 takes products introduced in a feed direction F away from a product feed 33 and subsequently into receptacles Insert 11, which are made by deep drawing recesses of a film web 51.
  • the loading area 21 and the removal area 29 of the deposit robot 18 are located within an operating area 23 of the deposit robot 18 that is at least substantially circular in shape, for example. Fig. 3 ).
  • a central carrier of the robot cell 17 is supported by a common carrier element 41 extending in the transport direction T (cf. Fig. 3 and 4 ), whose position in the robot cell 17 in the Fig. 1 to 4 each is illustrated by a dark coloration.
  • the central carrier 41 serves on the transport passage 13 facing side for supporting a transport and / or guide means 15 for a conveyor chain not shown here in detail for holding the film web 51 and at the same time on the other side for supporting the product supply 33.
  • the other conveyor chain of the film web 51 is guided by the transport and / or guide means 15 of the robot cell 17.
  • the transport passage 13 and thus the transport and / or guide means 15 as part of a packaging machine on the one hand and the product feed 33 on the other hand in the transverse direction are arranged in close proximity to each other.
  • this construction allows the product feed 33 to be arranged approximately at the level of the film web 51.
  • the support surface 33a of the product supply 33 is only slightly above a defined by the film web 51 transport plane 43 for the product holders 11 formed by the recesses of the film web 51.
  • the removal area 29 and the loading area 21 are close together, which
  • the loading robot 18 means that it only needs a comparatively small working area 23 in order to cover the removal area 29 of the product feeder 33 and the loading area 12 in the transport passage 13.
  • the product supply 33 can be relatively wide. This means that several portions 57 arriving in adjacent tracks can be gripped in the working area 23. Thus, it is not necessary to adjust the number of tracks before the take-off area 29.
  • a conveying device 53 which is associated with the slicers 49 and is not shown in detail, combines so-called format sets 59 in a manner basically known to those skilled in the art from the portions 57 produced by the slicers 49.
  • Fig. 5 For example, 3 ⁇ 3 format sets 49, each with nine portions 57, are shown by way of example.
  • a format set may include only a single set of portions 57.
  • the format sets 59 reach the product feed 33, wherein the conveyor 53 can form part of the product feed 33.
  • the format sets 59 reach the take-off regions 29 of two insertion devices E according to the invention arranged one behind the other in the transport direction T in the transport direction T.
  • the structure provided here is designed such that the working areas 23 together cover a continuous area of both the product feeder 33 and the packing machine 19 extending through the two loading devices E.
  • the packaging machine 19 includes not only the corresponding sections of the robot cells 17 of the loading devices E, but also further workstations, of which examples are shown in FIG Fig. 5 a deep drawing station D arranged upstream of the loading devices E and a sealing station S downstream of the loading devices E are shown.
  • Fig. 5 also illustrates the asymmetric configuration of the insertion devices E already explained above due to the robot cells 17 projecting laterally toward the product supply 33.
  • a common protective device for the robot cells 17 can be mounted on the projection in the upper region in a very simple manner.
  • the robot cells 17 and thus the insertion devices E are thus formed asymmetrically to the median plane 25, which are centered with respect to the transverse direction by the transport passages 13 (see. Fig. 2 ) of the robot cells 17 extends therethrough.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the possibility of using the robot cell 17 for connecting handling devices 47.
  • a handling device 47 shows Fig. 6 a lifting device which serves to move thermoforming tools 45 of a thermoforming station D of the packaging machine 19 between an operating position and one of several storage spaces 55.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates a particularly advantageous concept, which shows an arrangement of several inventive insertion devices E on different sides of the packaging machine 19 with a shuttle system 35 as a product supply 33 to the individual removal areas 29 of the insertion devices E.
  • Fig. 7 also shows a modular structure, which here consists in that the insertion station of this processing line of three basically identical, successively arranged insertion devices E according to the invention is formed.
  • the inventive asymmetric construction of the insertion devices E, the first and last insertion device E in the transport direction T each allow to project in the direction of transport T left side, whereas the middle insertion device E to the right in the direction of transport T projects.
  • the working areas 23 of the three loading robots 18 can therefore be positioned particularly compact. A large, virtually uninterrupted loading area in the transport direction T is covered by the three loading robots.
  • the products to be loaded are supplied to the individual removal areas 29 of the infeed robots by means of transporters 39, also referred to as movers, which move in each case in a track 37 of an overall track system of the shuttle system 35, for example in the direction indicated by the arrows.
  • transporters 39 also referred to as movers, which move in each case in a track 37 of an overall track system of the shuttle system 35, for example in the direction indicated by the arrows.
  • Such a product supply concept is also made possible in particular by the fact that the robot cells 17 according to the invention each require a comparatively small number of construction elements.
  • the product feed 33 can be designed virtually undisturbed by carriers or other structural elements of the robot cells 17. The design restrictions for positioning and design of the removal regions 29 and the respective product supply 33 are therefore minimal. If the support surface 33a formed by a conveyor belt, for example, this can be easily removed to the side.
