Definitions
- the invention refers to the transport of flat sheets, die-cut or not, from a storage area to a work area in a controlled way, and the subsequent forming of paper or cardboard boxes.
- the stacked cardboard, placed on the table of a loader, is picked up by a mechanism of suction cups and introduced between a pair of rollers that push it on guides that support it until it reaches the top of the forming heads.
- the cardboard is supported only from the below and, therefore, is free to make rotations that compromise the following steps as well as being able to damage the raw material itself.
- EP2809507 describes a machine and a method for forming paper or cardboard boxes.
- the device described involves transporting the cardboard sheets stacked in a warehouse by means of suction cups to the forming area, where they are released for the subsequent forming step by means of a shaping machine, no longer guided or supported so as to allow any movement of the sheet itself and consequently the imperfect shaping of the box.
- a first advantage is that the system, operating the transport with the use of both suction cups and grippers, never loses contact with the sheet to be formed, thus ensuring the optimal forming of the same.
- a further advantage is that this system, by varying the descent speed of the forming mould and consequently the relative speed of the external forming counter wheels according to the height of the box, allows the forming force applied to the box to be kept within the minimum parameters that guarantee its integrity.
- Parameters are, for example, the type and specifications of the board, the die-cutting method, the thickness of the board etc. and can be determined either empirically by testing or by stress calculation, reducing the possibility of tears occurring.
- the device includes a mould 1 for forming the cardboard sheet 4a, 4b, a plurality of suction cups 3, at least one gripper 5, preferably two placed orthogonally to the direction of advancement of the sheet, and a plurality of forming wheels 6 placed at the wings 2 of the cross of the cardboard sheet 4b to be formed.
- the sheet 4a is lifted from a loading or picking area P using the suction cups and brought by the grippers to the forming area F where there is a mould 1 for forming the box, of traditional type per se.
- the grippers 5 move towards the cardboard 4a and tighten it firmly, and transport the sheet 4b below the mould 1 and loosen the grip. Only then the mould 1 press on the board 4b being formed and pass it through the moulding wheels 6, which, while rotating and translating, form the box, adapting it around the mould 1 .
- the speed at which the mould 1 descends through the wheels 6 is inversely proportional to the height of the box in order to keep the forming force applied to the board within the minimum parameters that guarantee its integrity.
- Parameters are, for example, the type and specifications of the board, the die-cutting method, the thickness of the board etc. and can be determined either empirically by testing or by stress calculation, reducing the possibility of tears occurring, in order to avoid tearing.
- spray nozzles 7 placed along the path followed by edges 8 of the sheet to be closed, and configured to deliver hotmelt glue during the transport of the sheet from the picking area P to the forming area F.
