Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tray closing machine according to claim 1. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for raising and lowering a tray receptacle at a sealing station of a tray closing machine according to independent method claim 11.
  • tray sealing machines which are also called traysealers in practice, it is a technical challenge to gently pick up the trays filled with products and prepared for a sealing process (hereinafter also referred to as trays) within a sealing station with a tray holder within short transport cycles and then to gently put it down on a support plate device during the sealing process.
  • Tilting or tumbling should also be avoided when setting down already closed packages so that a gripper working functionally on the tray sealing machine can grasp the packages as precisely and quickly as possible for further transport.
  • this presupposes that the packaging is made available to the gripper in a precisely positioned manner at a predetermined position, in particular stationary.
  • DE 691 01 374 T2 discloses a motor-driven lifting mechanism of a packaging machine, wherein the lifting speed can be changed during the movement.
  • the object of the invention is to improve a tray closing machine and a method using constructive means that are as simple as possible so that a gentle and efficient tray transport within a sealing station is ensured.
  • the invention should be able to be implemented cost-effectively.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by means of a tray closing machine according to claim 1 and by means of a method according to independent method claim 9.
  • the invention relates to a tray sealing machine which comprises at least one feed unit for transporting trays in a production direction, a sealing station downstream of the feed unit in the production direction for producing packaging, at least one discharge unit downstream of the sealing station in the production direction, and a gripper device.
  • the gripper device is designed to pick up trays provided on the feed unit in a transport cycle and to transport them to the sealing station for a shell-closing process taking place therein, and to pick up packaging produced within the sealing station and transport them to the removal unit.
  • the sealing station has an upper tool part, which comprises a sealing tool, and a lower tool part, which comprises a support plate device for depositing the trays transported into the sealing station and a height-adjustable tray holder for receiving and transporting the trays delivered to the support plate device to the upper tool part.
  • the tray closing machine comprises a lifting mechanism which is designed to move the tray holder from a first position, in which the tray holder is in an initial position when the sealing station is open, to a second position in which the tray holder is in a closed state Sealing station is located in a working position moved towards the upper tool part, to move along a first predetermined movement sequence.
  • the tray holder can be adjusted along the first sequence of movements by means of the lifting mechanism in such a way that the tray holder picks up the trays provided on the support plate device at a predetermined pick-up speed.
  • the tray closing machine is configured so that a local rate of change in the speed of the tray pick-up during the first movement sequence has changed from a positive value to a negative value before the tray pick-up has reached the predetermined pick-up speed and / or the tray pick-up by means of the lifting mechanism from the second position back to the first position along a second predetermined movement sequence, which is provided for opening the sealing station, can be adjusted in such a way that the tray holder transfers the packaging it has picked up to the support plate device at a predetermined depositing speed, whereby a temporal Rate of change in the speed of the tray pick-up during the second movement sequence has changed from a negative value to a positive value before the tray pick-up has reached the predetermined settling speed.
  • the tray holder together with the sealed packaging is lowered as quickly as possible in order to be slowed down to the level of the setting speed in good time before the packaging is set down so that the packs produced can be gently set down.
  • the packaging is nevertheless gently set down.
  • an acceleration process is carried out to optimize the performance of the tray sealing machine and then a braking process is carried out to achieve a set-down speed for smooth delivery of the packaging.
  • the lifting mechanism accelerates the tray pick-up relatively quickly in the direction of the trays and ensures that the tray pick-up is braked in good time to the speed level of the pick-up speed, which is greater than zero, on the basis of which the tray pick-up can pick up the trays in a gentle manner.
  • the tray pickup is first accelerated during the first movement sequence from the first position above the speed level of the pickup speed and then decelerated to the predetermined pickup speed, which is greater than zero, in order to gently pick up the trays by means of this.
  • the trays are picked up immediately after the braking process. This means that the recording speed results directly from the braking process.
  • the change in sign of the rate of change of speed over time takes place between the acceleration and deceleration processes above the speed level of the recording speed.
  • the acceleration process which initially takes place during the first movement sequence, in which the speed of the tray pick-up increases continuously up to the braking process, brings about the desired performance optimization of the operation of the tray sealing machine in the invention.
  • the braking process following the acceleration process during the first movement sequence has the effect that the tray receptacle reaches a suitable pick-up speed for gently picking up the provided trays.
  • the change in the local temporal rate of change in the speed of the tray holder during the first movement sequence from a positive value to a negative value preferably takes place exactly once before the tray holder has reached the predetermined pickup speed resulting from the braking process.
  • the speed of the tray receptacle during the first movement sequence is initially continuous up to a predetermined speed which is greater than that Recording speed, increased and, once the predetermined speed has been reached, continuously reduced to the recording speed.
  • the lifting mechanism already used at the sealing station for the tray receptacle can be controlled simply by means of a control of the tray closing machine in order to coordinate the sequence of movements of the tray receptacle according to the invention. It would be conceivable that corresponding trajectories for the first and / or the second movement sequence are stored and can be called up for the tray pick-up with regard to different tray types, with the aid of which the gentle tray pick-up and the gentle placement of finished packaging can be controlled.
  • the tray receptacle together with the trays received on it, can preferably be moved for a predetermined time interval at the pickup speed.
  • the trays can be received in the tray holder with a particularly precise position and in a stationary manner.
  • the tray sealing machine is configured so that the rate of change over time of the speed of the tray receptacle, including the trays received therein, changes from a positive value to a negative value during the first movement before the tray receptacle is in the second position has arrived.
  • the tray pick-up accelerates together with the trays, i.e. after it has been picked up, to a predetermined speed, preferably up to a maximum speed of the lifting process, before it is then timely before reaching the second position, i.e. the working position for performing a sealing process is braked.
  • This acceleration and braking sequence leads to shortened transport cycles of the trays received by means of the tray receptacle to the sealing tool.
  • the tray receptacle can preferably be moved at the set-down speed for a predetermined time interval from a transfer point in time at which the packs are delivered to the support plate device. This ensures that the packaging can be set down carefully and accurately at predetermined positions on the support plate device.
  • the tray closing machine is preferably configured so that the rate of change over time of the speed of the tray pick-up during the second movement sequence has changed from a negative value to a positive value after the packages have been delivered to the support plate device at the set-down speed and before the tray pick-up has returned to the first position is. This makes it possible for the tray receptacle to return to its starting position as quickly as possible after the packaging has been transferred from it to the support plate device, so that it can pick up trays that have been provided again within a short time for a subsequent tray closing process.
  • the effort can be minimized in that the first movement sequence and the second movement sequence are essentially symmetrical. It would be conceivable that the second movement sequence has higher accelerations than the first movement sequence, since the packaging is already closed here.
  • the pick-up speed and / or the set-down speed can be variably set on the tray sealing machine.
  • the tray closing machine is preferably configured so that the tray pick-up reaches the pick-up speed at a predetermined pick-up position along the first movement sequence before the trays provided on the support plate device are picked up at the tray edges formed thereon.
  • means formed on the tray holder for receiving the respective trays are still spaced approximately 2.5 mm from the tray edges when the tray holder has arrived in the receiving position, i.e. when the tray pick-up is decelerated to the predetermined pick-up speed.
  • the tray closing machine is configured so that the tray receptacle reaches the set-down speed along the second movement sequence at a predetermined set-down position before the packs are set down on the support plate device by means of packaging bottoms formed thereon. It is conceivable that the tray receptacle has arrived in the predetermined set-down position when the packaging bottoms of the trays received in the tray receptacle are positioned approximately 2.5 mm above the receiving plates provided on the support plate device.
  • a sealing process can be carried out particularly advantageously if the sealing tool is mounted within the upper part of the tool in a height-adjustable manner.
  • the sealing station is preferably configured to carry out an evacuation and / or gassing process to create a desired atmosphere within the packaging.
  • the support plate device in particular the support plate formed thereon, is mounted in a stationary manner at the sealing station.
  • the gentle picking up of the trays and the smooth setting down of the sealed packaging is achieved by the special lifting movement by means of the lifting mechanism used for the tray pick-up at the sealing station.
  • the invention also relates to a method for raising and lowering a tray receptacle at a sealing station of a tray sealing machine.
  • trays provided on a support plate device are picked up by means of the shell holder and are transported for a shell closing process to an upper tool part positioned above the shell holder.
  • the tray holder is moved by means of a lifting mechanism from a first position, in which the tray holder is in an initial position when the sealing station is open, to a second position in which the tray holder is in a working position moved towards the upper part of the tool when the sealing station is closed located, adjusted along a first predetermined sequence of movements, wherein the tray receptacle picks up the trays provided on the support plate device at a predetermined pick-up speed.
  • a rate of change over time in the speed of the tray pick-up changes from a positive value to a negative value during the first movement sequence before the tray pick-up reaches the predetermined pick-up speed and / or the tray pick-up by means of the hoist after a tray closing process returns from the second position to the first Position along a second predetermined movement sequence is adjusted in such a way that the tray receptacle transfers manufactured, ie sealed, packaging picked up on it at a predetermined set-down speed to the support plate device, a rate of change of the speed changing over time during the second movement sequence from a negative value to a positive value before the tray pick-up reaches the predetermined settling speed.
  • the acceleration of the shell receptacle from the second position is initially until it is reached carried out a predetermined, in particular maximum lowering speed. Following this, but before the packaging received on it is released, the tray pick-up is decelerated to a speed level of the predetermined set-down speed, by means of which the tray pick-up gently transfers the packaging to the support plate device. As with the lifting of the tray holder, when the tray holder is lowered, a shorter lifting time can be achieved to optimize the performance of the tray closing process and at the same time allow the closed packaging to be set down gently.
  • the tray pick-up is first accelerated to a speed level above the pick-up speed and then braked in order to reach the predetermined pick-up speed by means of which the provided trays can be picked up gently by means of the tray pick-up.
  • the acceleration and deceleration of the tray holder causes both a performance-optimized displacement of the tray holder and a gentle pick-up of the trays.
  • the tray receptacle is preferably increased at the pickup speed for a predetermined time interval from a point in time at which the trays are received on it. This ensures that the trays picked up by means of the tray holder can take up their exact position on the tray holder before they are lifted further.
  • an advantageous variant provides that the rate of change over time of the speed of the tray holder, including the trays picked up on it, changes from a positive value to a negative value during the first movement sequence before the tray holder has arrived in the second position.
  • the tray pick-up is accelerated further up to a predetermined speed level, preferably up to a maximum lifting speed, in order then to arrive at the second position, i.e. to be braked until it comes to a standstill, whereby a particularly rapid adjustment movement of the shell holder towards the upper part of the tool is achieved.
  • the sealed packagings can be delivered to the support plate device in a particularly positionally accurate manner in that the tray receptacle is further lowered for a predetermined time interval at the depositing speed from a transfer time at which the packs are delivered to the support plate device.
  • a rapid return to the first position of the tray holder is promoted by the fact that the rate of change of the speed of the tray holder changes from a negative value to a positive value afterwards during the second movement sequence the packages are delivered to the support plate device at the set-down speed and before the tray receptacle has returned to the first position.
