Claims (5)
- Vorrichtung zum Transportieren von flachen Kartonbögen und zum anschließenden Bilden von Kartonschachteln, umfassend eine Form (1) zum Bilden des flachen Kartonbogens (4a, 4b), mehrere Aufnahmesaugnäpfe (3) zum Anheben eines flachen Kartonbogens (4a) von einem Aufnahmebereich (P) und mehrere äußere bildende Gegenräder (6), die in einem Bildungsbereich (F) des zu bildenden flachen Kartonbogens (4b) platziert sind, wobei die Gegenräder die Schachtel um die Form (1) herum bilden,
wobei die Vorrichtung ein oder mehrere Greifelemente (5) aufweist, die eingerichtet sind, um sich in Richtung des Kartonbogens zu bewegen und den flachen Kartonbogen von dem Aufnahmebereich (P) zu dem Bildungsbereich (F) zu transportieren, ohne den Kontakt mit dem zu bildenden Bogen (4a, 4b) zu verlieren, und um seine Position zu steuern, wodurch seine Positionierung in dem Bildungsbereich (F) und die optimale Bildung desselben sichergestellt wird, wobei die Greifelemente (5) einen oder mehrere Greifer aufweisen, die eingerichtet sind, um den flachen Kartonbogen fest zu greifen. - Vorrichtung nach Anspruch 1, wobei die Absenkgeschwindigkeit der Form (1) und folglich der äußeren bildenden Gegenräder (6) gemäß der Höhe der Schachtel variiert, wobei die auf die Schachtel ausgeübte bildende Kraft innerhalb vorbestimmter Mindestparameter gehalten wird, die einem Aufrechterhalten der Unversehrtheit der Schachtel zugeordnet sind, wobei die Parameter den Typ und die Spezifikationen der Schachtel, das Stanzverfahren und die Dicke der Schachtel umfassen, um die Möglichkeit eines Auftretens von Rissen zu reduzieren.
- Vorrichtung nach einem der vorangehenden Ansprüche, wobei es Sprühdüsen (7) gibt, die entlang des Weges platziert sind, dem die Kanten (8) des Bogens folgen, der zu schließen ist, und die eingerichtet sind, um Heißkleber während des Transports des Bogens von einem Aufnahmebereich (P) zu einem Bildungsbereich (F) zu liefern.
- Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, aufweisend eine Motorisierung (9) der Form (1) und Steuermittel (10), die eingerichtet sind, um eine Absenkgeschwindigkeit der Form (1) über die äußeren Gegenräder (6) umgekehrt proportional zu der Höhe der Schachtel zu steuern, um die auf die Schachtel ausgeübte bildende Kraft innerhalb vorbestimmter Mindestparameter zu halten, die einem Aufrechterhalten der Unversehrtheit der Schachtel zugeordnet sind, wobei die Parameter den Typ und die Spezifikationen der Schachtel, das Stanzverfahren und die Dicke der Schachtel umfassen, um die Möglichkeit eines Auftretens von Rissen zu reduzieren.
- Vorrichtung nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, wobei der Bogen ein gestanzter Bogen in Form eines Kreuzes ist, zum Beispiel "H"- oder "T"-förmig, und die äußeren bildenden Gegenräder (6) an den Flügeln (2) des zu bildenden Kartonbogens (4b) platziert sind.
