Inconvénient de l'art antérieurDisadvantage of the prior art

Les solutions de l'art antérieur ne sont pas satisfaisantes car elles ne permettent pas de fabriquer de manière industrielle, économique et fiable, un emballage en carton comportant une fenêtre en plastique transparent.The solutions of the prior art are not satisfactory because they do not make it possible to manufacture, industrially, economically and reliably, a cardboard packaging comprising a window in transparent plastic.

Solution apportée par l'inventionSolution provided by the invention

Le but de la présente invention est de proposer une solution permettant de fabriquer de manière flexible et fiable de tels emballages.The purpose of the present invention is to provide a solution for flexible and reliable manufacturing of such packaging.

Elle concerne selon son acception la plus générale un procédé pour la fabrication d'un emballage constitué par deux fonds en carton et une fenêtre s'étendant sur les faces latérales entre lesdits fonds en carton, dans lequel :

  • on prépare des découpes en carton en découpant dans une feuille deux parties correspondant respectivement à la forme à plat du premier et du second fond en carton réunies par des zones sécables de liaison
  • on dispose sur un tapis transporteur les flans,
  • on applique sur un flan des rouleaux presseurs
  • on commande le ralentissement de l'un des rouleaux en contact avec l'une des parties par rapport au rouleau en contact avec l'autre partie pour provoquer la rupture desdites zones sécables
  • on repositionne les deux parties en les écartant d'une distance correspondant à la hauteur de la fenêtre transparente
  • on dépose la fenêtre transparente pour coller les bords sur les bords correspondant des parties ainsi repositionnées.
According to its most general meaning, it relates to a process for the manufacture of a packaging consisting of two cardboard bottoms and a window extending on the lateral faces between said cardboard bottoms, in which:
  • cardboard blanks are prepared by cutting from a sheet two parts corresponding respectively to the flat shape of the first and second cardboard backings joined by breakable connecting zones
  • the blanks are placed on a conveyor belt,
  • pressure rollers are applied to a blank
  • one controls the slowing down of one of the rollers in contact with one of the parts relative to the roller in contact with the other part to cause the rupture of said breakable zones
  • we reposition the two parts by moving them apart by a distance corresponding to the height of the transparent window
  • the transparent window is deposited to paste the edges on the corresponding edges of the parts thus repositioned.

De préférence, le flan est déposé sur une bande transporteuse de telle sorte que la ligne médiane passant par les zones sécables soit orientée perpendiculairement à la direction de déplacement de ladite bande transporteuse, et en ce que lesdits rouleaux presseurs sont disposés transversalement.Preferably, the blank is deposited on a conveyor belt so that the center line passing through the breakable zones is oriented perpendicular to the direction of movement of said conveyor belt, and in that said pressure rollers are arranged transversely.

Selon un mode de mise en œuvre préféré, le procédé selon l'invention commande le ralentissement du rouleau arrière pour provoquer la rupture de la zone de liaison et créer un décalage longitudinal entre les deux parties séparées d'une distance correspondant à la hauteur de la fenêtre.According to a preferred embodiment, the method according to the invention controls the slowing down of the rear roller to cause the rupture of the connection zone and create a longitudinal offset between the two parts separated by a distance corresponding to the height of the window.

Description d'un exemple d'emballageDescription of an example of packaging

La figure 1 représente un exemple d'emballage comprenant deux fonds (100, 200) en carton et une fenêtre (300) disposée entre les deux fonds en carton (100, 200).The figure 1 shows an example of packaging comprising two cardboard bottoms (100, 200) and a window (300) disposed between the two cardboard bottoms (100, 200).

La fenêtre (300) est typiquement découpée dans une feuille de PVC, sur laquelle on applique un rainurage (302) pour faciliter le pliage et éviter que lors de la mise en forme, la feuille en PVC, plus rigide que le carton, ne vienne déchirer le carton au niveau d'une arête, dans la zone de liaison du carton et du PVC.The window (300) is typically cut from a PVC sheet, on which a groove (302) is applied to facilitate folding and prevent the PVC sheet, which is more rigid than the cardboard, from tearing the cardboard at the edge, during the forming of the cardboard and PVC bonding area.

La fenêtre transparente (300) peut aussi présenter des échancrures (301) sur les bords, au niveau des lignes de pliages (302), pour éviter que la raideur du PVC ne crée une déformation exerçant sur le carton une pression pouvant conduire à une déchirure locale.The transparent window (300) can also have notches (301) on the edges, at the level of the fold lines (302), to prevent the stiffness of the PVC from creating a deformation exerting on the cardboard a pressure which can lead to a tear. local.

La figure 2 représente l'assemblage entre les flans de carton (100 ; 200) et la fenêtre (300) avant la mise en forme.The figure 2 represents the assembly between the cardboard blanks (100; 200) and the window (300) before shaping.

La fabrication d'une boîte d'emballage selon l'invention comporte les étapes principales suivantes :
On découpe tout d'abord dans une feuille en carton une série de découpes formée de deux flans (100, 200) séparés par un espace transversal (150) et reliés ponctuellement par des zones sécables (160), et on empile ces découpes sur un dépileur.The manufacture of a packaging box according to the invention comprises the following main steps:
First of all, a series of cuts is cut from a cardboard sheet formed by two blanks (100, 200) separated by a transverse space (150) and punctually connected by breakable zones (160), and these cuts are stacked on a destacker.

Parallèlement, on prépare une série de fenêtres découpées et prérainées, et on les emmagasine sur un autre dépileur.At the same time, a series of pre-cut and pre-cut windows is prepared and stored on another destacker.

On entraine ensuite les découpes en carton, une à une, sur un tapis transporteur, jusqu'à un poste de traitement des découpes.The cardboard blanks are then driven, one by one, on a conveyor belt, to a blank processing station.

La découpe en carton est coincée, sur une partie au moins de son déplacement, entre le tapis transporteur et une paire de rouleaux appuyés sur la surface supérieure de la découpe. Les rouleaux tournent initialement à une vitesse synchrone avec le tapis de façon à assurer le déplacement de la découpe sans différentiel de vitesse entre la partie inférieure et la partie supérieure.The cardboard blank is wedged, at least for part of its movement, between the conveyor belt and a pair of rollers supported on the upper surface of the blank. The rollers initially rotate at a synchronous speed with the belt so as to ensure the movement of the cut without speed differential between the lower part and the upper part.

Sur ce poste de traitement, on exerce ensuite une traction sur chacun des flans (100, 200), dans des directions opposées perpendiculaires à la médiane de l'espace transversal (150). Cette traction est réalisée en modifiant la vitesse des deux rouleaux, lorsqu'ils sont positionnés de part et d'autre de la zone sécable (160) de la découpe. On ralentit par exemple le rouleau en arrière de cette zone sécable, de façon à créer un effort selon une direction perpendiculaire à la ligne sécable.On this treatment station, traction is then exerted on each of the blanks (100, 200), in opposite directions perpendicular to the median of the transverse space (150). This traction is achieved by modifying the speed of the two rollers, when positioned on either side of the breakable area (160) of the cutout. For example, the roller is slowed down behind this breakable zone, so as to create a force in a direction perpendicular to the breakable line.

Cet effort provoque la rupture des zones sécables (160) et permet d'écarter les deux flans (100, 200), pour les positionner l'un en face de l'autre avec un décalage correspondant à la feuille transparente (300).This effort causes the breakable zones (160) to rupture and makes it possible to separate the two blanks (100, 200), in order to position them one opposite the other with an offset corresponding to the transparent sheet (300).

On transporte alors une fenêtre en superposition avec les deux bords des flans (100, 200), on dépose une colle sur le bord des bandeaux (110, 210) et on dépose la fenêtre sur la zone encollée.A window is then transported in superposition with the two edges of the blanks (100, 200), an adhesive is deposited on the edge of the strips (110, 210) and the window is deposited on the glued area.

Description d'un équipement pour la mise en œuvre du procédéDescription of equipment for implementing the process

La figure 4 illustre un exemple particulier d'équipement pour la mise en œuvre du procédé selon l'invention.The figure 4 illustrates a particular example of equipment for implementing the method according to the invention.

L'équipement comprend un tapis aspirant (1) défilant longitudinalement. La découpe (2) est déposée sur ce tapis aspirant (1) par un dépileur, et glisse sous des rouleaux presseurs (3 à 5).The equipment comprises a suction conveyor (1) running longitudinally. The cutout (2) is deposited on this suction belt (1) by a destacker, and slides under pressure rollers (3 to 5).

La découpe (2) est ensuite entraînée entre le tapis (1) et un rouleau transversal motorisé (6).The cutout (2) is then driven between the belt (1) and a motorized transverse roller (6).

Un module de retaquage à courroies (7) assure la séparation des deux flans (100, 200) de la découpe (2).A belting module (7) ensures the separation of the two blanks (100, 200) of the cutout (2).

L'équipement a pour but de détacher et séparer parallèlement à une distance prédéfinie, la découpe (2) carton constituée de deux ou trois morceaux tenue en eux par des zones sécables (160).The purpose of the equipment is to detach and separate, parallel to a predefined distance, the cutout (2) cardboard made up of two or three pieces held in them by breakable zones (160).

Cette séparation s'effectue dans la machine de façon continue et linéaire dans le pas de la machine.This separation takes place in the machine continuously and linearly in the machine pitch.

Après la séparation des découpes (100, 200), un dispositif retaqueur à courroies (7), réaligne en parallèles les découpes carton (100, 200) sur le tapis aspirant (1) et assure également la bonne distance préprogrammée des découpes (100, 200) entre elles.After the cut-outs (100, 200) have been separated, a belt-retaining device (7) realigns the cardboard cut-outs (100, 200) in parallel with the suction mat (1) and ensures also the correct pre-programmed distance of the cutouts (100, 200) between them.

Durant le transfert le flan arrière (100) de la découpe (2) est maintenu serré entre les rouleaux presseurs (6).During the transfer, the rear blank (100) of the cutout (2) is kept clamped between the pressure rollers (6).

Les rouleaux presseurs (6) ralentissent alors que le flan avant (200) de la découpe carton (2) continue d'avancer à la même vitesse que le tapis aspirant (1) et est maintenue en pression par les rouleaux presseurs (3 à 5) sur le tapis (1).The pressure rollers (6) slow down while the front blank (200) of the cardboard blank (2) continues to advance at the same speed as the suction belt (1) and is kept under pressure by the pressure rollers (3 to 5 ) on the mat (1).

Après séparation des flans (100, 200), les rouleaux (6) accélèrent pour revenir à la même vitesse que le tapis (1) à un moment bien précis, déterminé préalablement par la longueur de séparation des deux découpes (100, 200).After separation of the blanks (100, 200), the rollers (6) accelerate to return at the same speed as the belt (1) at a very precise moment, determined beforehand by the separation length of the two cutouts (100, 200).

Les flans (100, 200) séparées avancent jusqu'au module de retaquage à courroies (7).The separate blanks (100, 200) advance to the belting module (7).

Les flans (100, 200) sont ensuite réalignées par la poussée et la retenue des bords droits des deux flans carton (100, 200).The blanks (100, 200) are then realigned by pushing and retaining the straight edges of the two cardboard blanks (100, 200).

Une courroie crantée motorisée munie d'un taquet soudé et synchronisé au mouvement d'avance des flans (100, 200), assure un freinage et une accélération des flans (100, 200) sur le tapis aspirant (1), ce qui permet également de finaliser avec précision, l'écartement des deux flans (100, 200).A motorized toothed belt provided with a welded cleat and synchronized with the advance movement of the blanks (100, 200), ensures braking and acceleration of the blanks (100, 200) on the suction mat (1), which also allows to finalize with precision, the spacing of the two blanks (100, 200).

Le module retaqueur à courroies (7) est constitué de deux chariots à courroie montés en parallèle.The belt retractor module (7) consists of two belt carriages mounted in parallel.

Les deux courroies crantées sont motorisées par un arbre cannelé à douille à billes, permettant un réglage latéral de chaque chariot.The two notched belts are motorized by a splined shaft with ball bushing, allowing lateral adjustment of each carriage.

Chacune des courroies crantées est munie d'un taquet soudé. Chaque courroie possède un dispositif de micro réglage, qui permet un alignement des deux taquets en parallèle ou d'effectuer une correction angulaire des découpes carton. Les réglages de synchronisation des taquets / à la position des découpes, sont paramétrables au pupitre de la machine.Each of the toothed belts is fitted with a welded cleat. Each belt has a micro adjustment device, which allows the two tabs to be aligned in parallel or to make an angular correction of the cardboard cutouts. The settings for synchronizing the tabs / at the cutout position can be configured on the machine console.

Principe pour alignement de 2 flans (100, 200):Principle for alignment of 2 blanks (100, 200):

  • Phase 1 : Le taquet pousse par l'arrière le premier flan (200) du carton séparé auparavant en amont.Phase 1: The cleat pushes the first blank (200) of the cardboard previously separated upstream from behind.
  • Phase 2 : Accompagnement de la poussée du premier flan (200) de 2 à 5 millimètres.Phase 2: Support of the push of the first blank (200) from 2 to 5 millimeters.
  • Phase 3 : Fin d'accompagnement de la poussée du premier flan (200) du carton de 2 à 5 millimètres et retour du taquet vers l'arrière pour venir se positionner sur le bord avant du deuxième flan (100).Phase 3: End of support for the push of the first blank (200) of the carton from 2 to 5 millimeters and return of the cleat to the rear to come to position on the front edge of the second blank (100).
  • Phase 4 : Ralentissement du deuxième flan (100) de 2 à 5 millimètres par rapport au tapis (1), lorsque la zone sécable se trouve entre le premier et le deuxième rouleau, puis rotation du taquet pour préparation du carton suivant.Phase 4: Slowing down of the second blank (100) from 2 to 5 millimeters in relation to the belt (1), when the breakable zone is between the first and the second roll, then rotation of the cleat to prepare the next carton.
