Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for receiving and holding a roll of surface element, in particular a roll of deep-drawing film, for processing it in a packaging machine by unrolling the surface element and introducing the surface element into the packaging machine, comprising an axis to be introduced into the roll of surface element on its axis of rotational symmetry.
  • the invention also relates to a packaging machine for packaging goods to be packaged in flat element packagings.
  • Food or inorganic products are regularly offered to consumers in small-sized packaging. These small-scale packagings are often formed from flat elements, with a base film on which food or other packaged goods can be placed. A further surface element is then applied to the base film, for example a film sealed, in order to form a liquid-tight and gas-tight packaging.
  • Surface elements used can be, for example, foils or paper webs.
  • the surface elements used for the packaging are processed in packaging machines.
  • the surface elements are supplied in the form of surface element rolls.
  • a surface element roll for a base film for example, can have a greater thickness, and a correspondingly rolled-up surface element has a corresponding volume.
  • Such surface element rolls are already referred to as jumbo rolls.
  • a base film for packaging that is produced with a packaging machine is usually a deep-drawing film.
  • This film is deep-drawn in the packaging machine so that individual indentations are formed Train intake of food or other objects. This film must therefore be introduced into the packaging machine at the beginning of processing.
  • Packaging machines regularly have an elongated design, which can easily have an extension of 10 or more meters. In some packaging machines, the feeding of a deep-drawing film and the feeding of the packaging goods to be filled into the packaging take place via one and the same input side of a packaging machine. The feeding of the deep-drawing film is hindered as a result, and in particular it is difficult to bring in a new roll of surface element.
  • the unwinding of a film and introduction of the film into the packaging machine then often takes place with the film oriented horizontally.
  • the film is exposed to contamination of the room air; if the packaged goods are still fed in above the film, the surface element may become soiled by the product.
  • the film can become soiled by cleaning processes and the cleaning agents used. This leads to contamination in the packaging to be produced; it can also make it more difficult to seal another film onto the deep-drawing film, for example. Leaky packaging can be the result.
  • the horizontal arrangement of the surface element means that the surface element must again be guided in a horizontal direction. Contamination from the room air is a further disadvantage.
  • the horizontal extension of the surface element in its width due to the horizontal extension of the surface element in its width, it is introduced into the packaging machine from the outside and the packaging machine has to be lengthened by the width of the surface element. This therefore results in a greater space requirement.
  • the invention is based on the object of indicating a device of the type mentioned at the beginning with which a more compact design of the packaging machine is made possible and with which a surface element can be introduced into the packaging machine with less contamination. A new packaging machine will also be shown.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention with regard to the device for picking up and holding a surface element roller in that the axis for the surface element roller is received in a swivel mount and is held in an approximately vertical orientation for the unrolling of the surface element with the swivel mount.
  • the device according to the invention also has an axis for receiving the surface element roller. It is introduced into the rotational symmetry axis of the surface element roll to be fed so that the surface element roll can be unrolled with the aid of the axis.
  • the axis is introduced while the axis is received in a swivel mount. So the axis is not free and can be handled by hand, it is received in the swivel mount and the surface element roller is to be brought up to the axis in this respect. If the surface element roller is applied to the axle, then this axle with the surface element can be held in a vertical orientation according to the invention.
  • the surface element is unrolled from the surface element roll in a vertical orientation; due to this vertical orientation of the surface element, it only offers a small support surface for falling contaminations and soiling.
  • the surface element can then be deflected, for this purpose the device can have deflection units with rollers running at a 45 ° angle.
  • the feeding of the surface element takes place in a compact manner, since it does not have to be converted into a horizontal orientation at any point in time when it is fed.
  • the device according to the invention which can be assigned to a packaging machine, a compact feeding of a surface element, in particular a deep-drawing film, into a packaging machine is thus possible.
  • the axis can be converted into an approximately horizontal alignment of the axis with the pivoting device.
  • the swivel mount thus enables the axis for the surface element roller to be swiveled from the vertical alignment of the axis to a horizontal alignment of the axis and vice versa.
  • a suitable swivel drive is assigned to the swivel mount.
  • a simplified change of surface element roles can be carried out.
  • the surface element roller can be removed from the axle in the horizontal direction and a new surface element roller can be applied to the axle with the axle aligned horizontally.
  • a further development of the invention provides for the swivel mount to hold a plug-on mandrel that contains the roller to be inserted into the surface element roller Axis trains.
  • the axis for the surface element roller is formed by a push-on mandrel onto which the surface element roller can be slipped. If the push-on mandrel with the swivel mount is then pivoted into a vertical alignment of the push-on mandrel, the surface element roller rests with a vertical axis on the swivel mount and loads the push-on mandrel and the swivel mount with its mass. This results in a positionally secure arrangement of the surface element roller.
  • the push-on mandrel is preferably assigned a rotary drive which supports the rolling of the surface element from the surface element roller.
  • a next development of the invention provides that the swivel mount is received in a support frame so that it can be adjusted in height.
  • the height of the swivel mount can therefore be adjusted so that it is brought into a lowered state, for example, for receiving a new surface element roll.
  • a new surface element roll is brought closer to the swivel mount, for example with a forklift or with a lift truck, and slipped onto the then horizontally aligned plug-on mandrel.
  • the swivel mount can then be swiveled and the surface element roller picked up is swiveled along with it.
  • the height of the surface element roller can then be optimally adjusted so that the surface element to be unrolled is fed in the correct position.
  • the correct insertion of the surface element can also be ensured over the entire film feed. If the surface element clearly runs out of the intended path, a correction can be made by lowering or increasing the arrangement of the surface element roller in the swivel mount.
  • the swivel mount has a base plate into which the push-on mandrel is embedded and which is articulated in swivel joints via tabs arranged at their opposite ends.
  • the required swivel forces can be introduced into the swivel mount via the swivel joints.
  • the swivel mount can also be assigned fixing points for defined swivel positions of the swivel mount, for example for vertical adjustment of the plug-on mandrel for rolling the surface element or for the horizontal alignment of the plug-on mandrel to change the surface element roll to be processed.
  • the device according to the invention can be retrofitted for existing packaging machines.
  • a packaging machine with such a device at the same time.
  • a packaging machine of the type mentioned at the beginning for which independent protection is claimed, it can be provided that it is equipped with at least one device for receiving and holding ready a flat element roll of the type described above.
  • This equipping advantageously enables the device for receiving and holding the roll of surface elements to be integrated into the packaging machine. This results in a further gain in space.
  • Suitable drive means of the packaging machine in particular electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic drive means, can be used to swivel the surface element roller.
  • the packaging machine has a Is thermoforming packaging machine and that a thermoformable surface element is provided with the device described above.
  • the packaging machine 1 shown is elongated and has processing stations that are different from one another.
  • a deep-drawing station 2 is provided for forming deep-drawing, as well as a feed device for objects to be packaged, which is arranged approximately at the same point.
  • a welding station 3 for a cover film and a separating station 4 for separating the individual packages from one another.
  • the basis for the packaging to be produced is a surface element 5, a deep-drawable film 5.
  • depressions 6 are made by deep-drawing.
  • the recesses 6 form receiving spaces for food, inorganic products or other packaging items.
  • the surface element 5 is removed from a surface element roller 7, the surface element 5 is unrolled from the surface element roller 7, as shown by the arrow 8.
  • the surface element 5 is then fed into the packaging machine 1 along the arrows 8 ′ and 8 ′′ via deflection units.
  • the device 9 for picking up and Keeping the surface element roller 7 ready is shown in the following figures.
  • Figure 2 shows that the device 9 has a support frame 20 which is attached to the packaging machine 1 and stands on the floor via feet 10.
  • a swivel mount 11 is arranged in the support frame 20. This swivel mount 11 carries a plug-on mandrel 12.
  • the swivel mount 11 also has a base plate 13, which is swivel-mounted in swivel joints 15 via two tabs 14.
  • a hand lever 16 is assigned to the right swivel joint for swiveling the swivel mount 11.
  • the surface element roller 7 is still arranged on a pallet 19. It is brought along arrow 8 ′ ′′ in the direction of the device 9 and pushed with its cavity 17 onto the plug-on mandrel 12.
  • Figure 5 finally shows the situation again in which the surface element 5 is unrolled from the surface element roller 7, as in FIG Figure 1 shown.
  • the in Figure 5 Push-on mandrel 12, which cannot be recognized, can be assigned a rotary drive to support the rotation of the surface element roller 7 along arrow 8, especially with thin surface elements 5.
  • Figure 5 shows once again the depressions 6 made in the deep-drawing device 2 in the deep-drawable surface element 5.
