Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container treatment device for a packaging manufacturing line, to a container packaging manufacturing line comprising such a treatment device, and to a method for treating containers in a packaging manufacturing line.
  • the Applicant has therefore perceived that it would be advantageous to have a container treatment device that could operate along a packaging manufacturing line to change the relative position between an inner and an outer component of a container made from overlapping structures.
  • downstream and upstream refer to a transport direction of the containers when referring to the manufacturing line and refer to a direction of advancement of the pushing head when referring to said treatment device. Therefore, assuming for example a rectilinear working direction from right to left, a "downstream" position with respect to an element or reference point is any position to the left of said element or reference point and an “upstream” position with respect to an element or reference point is any position to the right of said element or reference point.
  • the present invention relates to a method for treating containers in a packaging manufacturing line.
  • Such a reference plane can be identified in an ideal plane which crosses, and intercepts at substantially the same point, all the retaining structures which transit, along the transport direction, at the treatment device.
  • a reference plane is an essentially horizontal plane, i.e., a plane essentially parallel to the plane on which the manufacturing line is installed and develops.
  • the approach of the pushing head to such a reference plane results in the approach of the pushing head to a corresponding retaining structure and thus to the container structure retained thereby.
  • the approach of the pushing head to such a reference plane is equivalent to the approach of the pushing head to a retaining structure.
  • the reference plane is chosen to pass through the upper ends of shoulders of a retaining structure, the distance of the pushing head from such a reference plane shall be understood as coinciding with the distance of the pushing head from the retaining structure.
  • the pushing head is movable in a plurality of approaching positions preceding, along the direction of advancement, said plurality of active positions.
  • the pushing head changes spatial orientation with respect to the reference plane in the transition between two successive approaching positions so as to define an angle of incidence with respect to said reference plane which progressively decreases in the transition between two successive approaching positions.
  • a transport track is provided.
  • said transport track is parallel to a plane perpendicular to the reference plane.
  • said flap is arranged parallel to said reference plane.
  • a container packaging manufacturing line in accordance with the present invention is generically indicated by the reference numeral 1.
  • the device 9 comprises a transport belt 28 to which a transport member 29 is constrained.
  • the transport belt 28 is looped around two pulleys 30 and is rotated by a motor (not illustrated) which is active on at least one of the pulleys 30.
  • the transport belt 28 moves in the same direction as the direction of advancement B. In the example shown in figure 3 , the transport belt moves in a clockwise direction.
  • the pushing head 10 is always parallel to the tangent of the transport belt 28 at the point where the transport member 29 is connected.
  • the support arm 17 is therefore always perpendicular to the tangent of the transport belt 28 at the point where the transport member 29 is connected.
  • the pushing head 10 assumes an angle of incidence T and is at a distance from the reference plane T whereby the first end portion 15 of the pushing head 10 contacts a flap 102 of the container structure not retained 104.
  • the first end portion 15 of the pushing head 10 is at a distance D3 (hereinafter, the third distance D3) from the reference plane R that is different from the distance D4 (hereinafter, the fourth distance D4) of the second end portion 16 of the pushing head 10 from the reference plane R.
  • the third distance D3 is greater than the fourth distance D4.
  • the pushing head 10 When the support member 18 reaches the final end of the active portion 24 of the transport track 20, the pushing head 10 is in a last active position (as schematically shown in figure 3 with reference to the third pushing head 10 starting from the left).
