Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the flexible distribution of packages, comprising: at least one conveyor belt for transporting the packages along a transport direction, and at least one distributing device for moving the packages relative to the conveyor belt, the distributor device having a plurality of sliding elements movably mounted on the distributor device are, and wherein the sliding elements are independently driven.
- the invention also relates to a method for the flexible distribution of
- Packaging comprising the following steps: a) providing a device for flexible distribution of packaging and providing several
- Packaging b) moving the packages on a conveyor belt along a transport direction, c) moving the packages through a sliding element of a distributor along a distribution direction.
- Packaging can be done in different ways and in different ways
- Materials are produced.
- a widespread possibility of production consists in producing from the packaging material a blank usually having fold lines, from which a package is produced by folding and further steps. The packages are then filled and
- Closing be subjected to further processing steps. For example, it may be necessary to package several packages into one to summarize and enclose with a plastic film or other outer packaging. In addition, it may be necessary to place several packages on a pallet for further transport (“palletizing") . These steps may require grouping of packages by means of devices which distribute the individual packages in the desired manner and can group.
- the distributing devices may, for example, be circulating belts or chains on which slides are arranged at fixed intervals, which grip and move the packages standing on the conveyor belt. This makes it possible that the packaging not only the transport direction of the
- a disadvantage is, for example, that such distribution devices due to the constant
- Circulation speed of the belts or chains and the predetermined distances of the slide no individual adjustment of the speeds of the packaging allowed. Instead, all packaging will be at specified intervals
- Transport devices proposed in which the transport speeds of the packaging can be set independently. This is achieved by the fact that the slides are not arranged at fixed intervals on a revolving chain, but have alternative drives. These drives may be, for example, electromagnetic linear drives or linear motors. By such drives each slide can be controlled individually, so that - at least for a short time - different speeds of the slide are possible. Through different speeds, packaging can different packages are moved at different times in the same time, allowing a flexible distribution of packaging. such
- a disadvantage is that the packages to be transported could rock and even fall over due to the now possible accelerations (increase or decrease in speed).
- this disadvantage is compensated by the fact that no individual packages, but only containers from several packages are moved, which are less likely to tip.
- slide or carrier are used, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the packages to be transported; Specifically container support elements are used with curved support surfaces that correspond to the circumferential or lateral surface of the bottles to be transported. This has the disadvantage that when changing the packaging
- Form change and the slide or carrier must be adapted or replaced, if this is structurally possible.
- the invention is therefore the object of the initially described and previously explained device to design and further develop that individual packages of different sizes with individual
- a device according to the preamble of claim 1 serves for the flexible distribution of packaging, in particular the flexible displacement and arrangement of packaging.
- the device initially comprises at least one conveyor belt for transporting the packages along a transport direction.
- the conveyor belt may be any suitable conveyor, but preferably one
- the device Conveyor with a flat surface such as a conveyor belt or conveyor belt.
- the device also comprises at least one
- the distribution device can serve, in particular, for laterally displacing the packages standing on the conveyor belt and in this way a
- the distributor has a plurality of sliding elements which are movable on the
- the sliding elements can be displaced along a guide or track provided on the distributor device.
- the sliding elements are independently drivable.
- the sliding elements may have different speeds.
- the speed of a sliding element can vary along its route. This can result in the distance between adjacent sliding elements changing during operation.
- the sliding elements should not necessarily move in a fixed cycle or rhythm, but can be moved variably.
- the sliding elements each have two
- An "angled” arrangement is understood in particular to mean an arrangement in which the two contact surfaces enclose an angle of less than 180 ° relative to one another, ie, are not in the same plane in the vertical direction relative to the conveyor belt
- the contact surfaces should touch side surfaces of the packaging and move the packaging standing on the conveyor belt in the lateral direction.
- two angularly arranged contact surfaces are provided, can the packaging in two different places - preferably two
- Packaging as the packaging can occupy a secure and defined position in the angle enclosed by the two contact surfaces.
- an angular arrangement of the contact surfaces allows the displacement of
- the sliding elements are designed approximately L-shaped.
- the two contact surfaces of the sliding elements approximately form an "L.”
- An L-shaped configuration is characterized by an angle in the range of approximately 90 ° between the two contact surfaces, for example by an angle in the range between 80 ° and 100 ° This has the advantage that packaging with edges that have similar angles can be moved particularly well - for example cuboid packaging.
- the contact surfaces of the sliding elements are unlimited on one side. This means that the contact surfaces have no limit at one end, preferably at their end facing away from the vertex or intersection.
- the contact surfaces have no limit at one end, preferably at their end facing away from the vertex or intersection.
- contact surfaces to be flat at their outer ends.
- the contact surfaces should not be inclined or curved at their outer ends inwards, ie in the direction of the side intended for the packaging.
- this has the disadvantage that the packaging can not be "grabbed” and trapped by the contact surfaces of several sides.
- a significant advantage of the one-sided open design of the contact surfaces is that with the same sliding elements packaging with different sizes and formats can be moved. On a device therefore different packaging sizes can be edited without the sliding elements would have to be replaced in a format change.
- Contact surfaces have a width in the range between 20 mm and 60 mm, in particular between 30 mm and 50 mm. By contact surfaces of a size in the specified range, most can be used in practice
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the sliding elements are pivotally mounted relative to the distribution device. Due to the pivotal mounting, the sliding elements can for example be folded in and unfolded again. This has the advantage of avoiding accidental collisions with other packaging. This is particularly important in sliding elements, which are guided along a revolving path, wherein the sliding elements can be folded out, for example, on the "way out” and folded on the "way back".
- Distributor has a circumferential path for guiding the sliding elements. By a circumferential path, the sliding elements can be returned particularly comfortable after they have moved a package. in the
- the circumferential path may be designed in sections straight and, for example, two straight Have sections (eg, a back and a back strand) and two curved sections.
- the web extends at least in sections above the conveyor belt.
- the web runs at least in sections below the conveyor belt.
- that portion of the web of the dispenser extends above the conveyor in which the package is to be displaced (e.g., the rear).
- the conveyor in which the package is to be displaced e.g., the rear.
- that portion of the web of the spreading device extends underneath the conveyor belt, in which no displacement of the packages is to take place, but the sliding elements are on the return path (for example the return strand).
- a further embodiment of the device is characterized by an electromagnetic drive, in particular an electromagnetic linear drive for driving the sliding elements.
- an electromagnetic linear drive for driving the sliding elements.
- An electromagnetic linear drive is also called direct drive
- a linear motor is an electric drive machine. Unlike the widely used rotating machines, a linear motor displaces them
- a method for the flexible distribution of packages comprising the following steps: a) providing a device for the flexible distribution of packages and providing several packages, b) moving the packages on a conveyor belt along a transport direction, c) Moving the packages through a sliding element of a distributor along a distribution direction. The procedure is thereby
- the device provided in step a) may, for example, be a device according to one of claims 1 to 9, that is to say the device described above in one of its embodiments.
- An "angled" arrangement is understood in particular to mean an arrangement in which the two contact surfaces enclose an angle of less than 180 ° relative to one another, ie, are not in the same plane
- the contact surfaces are each partially or completely flat in the vertical direction relative to the
- the contact surfaces serve to touch and move the packaging.
- the contact surfaces side surfaces of the
- the package can be touched and pushed at two different locations, preferably at two adjacent side surfaces. This allows a more precise displacement of the packages compared to a single contact surface, since the packages can occupy a secure and defined position in the angle enclosed by the two contact surfaces.
- an angled arrangement of the contact surfaces allows the
- the packages are made of a composite material.
- the method described above is particularly suitable for moving composite packaging since
- Glass bottles have a lower rigidity and dimensional stability and should therefore be moved with the least possible pressure. This is possible with flat elements such as the angled contact surfaces better than by selectively acting gripper, forceps or the like.
- the packages are approximately cuboid. Rectangular packages have flat, flat sides and are therefore particularly suitable for being displaced by flat elements - such as the angled contact surfaces of the sliding elements.
- rectangular packages do not necessarily have a square cross-sectional area, but often have a rectangular cross-sectional area, so that displacement by angular contact surfaces appears more advantageous than by grippers which would have to be shaped differently for the narrow side of the package than for the wide side of the package.
- Packaging have different dimensions. In other words, by the same method and possibly on the same system packaging with
- Sliding elements are driven independently. It can be provided that different sliding elements are moved at different speeds. It can also be provided that each sliding element is moved at varying speeds. For example, this can be achieved a gentle acceleration of the packaging and a
- Sliding elements are driven by an electromagnetic drive, in particular an electromagnetic linear drive.
- electromagnetic drive in particular an electromagnetic linear drive.
