Definitions
- Application unit method for operating an application unit and a packaging machine with an application unit
- the invention relates to an application unit for attaching, in particular for attaching a pack, of a material blank to containers that have been put together to form a group of containers
- At least one pressing element having a tool plate for connecting the material blank to the containers of the container group to be conveyed along a transport plane and
- a drive unit which is designed to move the pressing element in such a way that the tool plate can be adjusted between a disengaged position and an engaged position with the containers.
- the invention also relates to methods for operating such an application unit and a packaging machine with such an application unit.
- Application units for packaging machines for pressing on and/or pressing a material blank, for example a cardboard blank, onto containers formed into a group, such as for example cans or bottles, are known in a variety of configurations from the prior art.
- the material blank is pressed onto the containers in such a way that the material blank is positively connected to the containers via suitable openings adapted to the containers, with the material blank being pushed over the containers in sections in the area of the openings.
- EP 2 239 200 B1 discloses an application unit for producing a cardboard packaging, which has pressing elements attached to a rotary disk, which close a cardboard blank, which forms the bottom and the side walls of the cardboard packaging, with a lid. A revolving toothed belt ensures that the application unit's pressure elements always remain horizontal.
- the invention is based on the object of providing an application unit that can be produced inexpensively and allows a change to changing production conditions in a simple manner, as well as a method for operating such an application unit and a packaging machine with such an application unit.
- the invention solves the problem by an application unit with the features of claim 1, the method for operating an application unit or a packaging machine with the features of claim 14 or claim 16 and by a packaging machine with the features of claim 10.
- Advantageous developments of the invention are given for the application unit in claims 2 to 9, for the packaging machine in claims 11 to 13 and for the method in claims 15 and 17.
- the drive unit has a first drive disk which can be rotated about a first axis of rotation and a second drive disk which is arranged parallel at a distance from the first drive disk and can be rotated about a second axis of rotation, the first and the second axis of rotation being horizontally aligned and arranged at the same height and not coaxially with one another and
- the pressing element comprises a first and a second joint axis, the pressing element being connected in an articulated manner to the first drive disk via its first joint axis and to the second drive disk via its second joint axis in such a way that the tool plate is released when the two drive disks rotate about the respective axis of rotation is oriented horizontally.
- the drive unit has at least one pressing element having a tool plate, the pressing element being connected via its first joint axis to the first drive disk and its second joint axis to the second drive disk in an articulated manner.
- connection of the joint axes of the pressing element with the first and second drive disk is preferably designed in such a way that the tool plate arranged on the pressing element is always horizontally aligned due to an arrangement of the joint axes at the same height when the drive disks are rotated, with a horizontal alignment on a intended arrangement refers to the application unit on or in the packaging machine, in which the application unit is arranged parallel at a distance from a generally horizontal transport plane on which the containers provided with the cut material are moved past the application unit in the transport direction.
- the arrangement of the joint axes at the same height results in their matching distance from the transport plane during the rotation of the drive pulleys.
- the non-coaxial arrangement of the axes of rotation results in a distance or offset of the axes of rotation, with these—relative to the intended installation position of the application unit—being preferably arranged one behind the other offset in the transport direction.
- a resulting reliable horizontal alignment of the tool plate ensures that it horizontally guides or holds the material blank to be mounted on or on the containers, so that when the tool plate is displaced due to the rotational movement of the drive disks, the material blank is reliably attached to the containers.
- the material blank is attached during the displacement of the tool plate from the disengaged position with the containers into the engaged position with the containers, with the material blank being in the engaged position depending on the design of the engaged position, i.e. the maximum displacement in the direction of the containers, the material blank placed at or on the containers. If the material blank is attached, the material blank is positively connected to the individual containers of the group of containers, with a bundle-forming connection preferably being produced via the material blank.
- the application unit according to the invention is characterized in that it can be produced particularly simply and inexpensively and enables reliable horizontal alignment of the tool plates of the pressing elements. Deviations of the tool plate from the horizontal alignment required for smooth operation are effectively prevented by the application unit according to the invention.
- the application unit can be easily adapted to the transport speed of the containers via the rotational speed of the drive disks about the respective axis of rotation. With the help of the application unit, it is possible to provide the containers with a material blank in a continuous process.
- the group of containers can consist, for example, of 4, 6 or 8 containers, which are preferably grouped in a 2x2 arrangement, a 3x2 arrangement or a 4x2 arrangement.
- the containers of the group of containers are preferably beverage containers or containers for liquid foods.
- the containers can be in the form of cans or bottles, for example.
- the concrete design of the material blanks can be freely selected.
- the respective material blank expediently has a plurality of holes through which the containers, in particular their upper section, can be passed. On the circumference of the holes, tooth-like fixing elements designed to be tiltable relative to a base area of the material blank can be provided for positive connection with the containers.
- the material blanks are particularly preferably made of cardboard, in particular corrugated cardboard, or of cardboard.
- the respective material blank can have lateral folding flaps. In the folded state, the folding flaps advantageously form a cover for the upper section of the containers, for example to protect against soiling.
- the configuration of the connection of the pressing element to the tool plate can in principle be freely selected.
- the pressing element is designed for the detachable arrangement of the tool plate.
- This embodiment of the invention makes it possible to adapt the application unit to changing production conditions, such as the size of the container groups, the size of the containers, the product division or the like, in a particularly simple manner.
- the term “product division” is to be understood as meaning the centre-to-centre distance between two consecutive groups of containers in the direction of transport.
- the arrangement of the pressing elements on the first and second drive pulleys can basically be designed in any way. It is thus possible to fix the pressing element or several pressing elements in a fixed position on the drive disks, in which case an adaptation to, for example, changing product divisions of the containers can be carried out by simply changing the rotational speed of the pressing elements resulting from the rotational speed of the drive disk.
- the first and the second drive disk have receiving openings for the detachable arrangement of the joint axes of the pressing element.
- the detachable arrangement of the joint axes allows the pressing elements to be easily replaced if necessary, which also makes inspection and maintenance work easier.
- the arrangement of a plurality of receiving openings on each of the drive pulleys which is provided according to a particularly advantageous manner, the receiving openings being distributed over their circumference on the driving pulleys in such a way that a plurality of pressing elements can be fastened to the driving pulleys, also makes it possible from providing the application unit with several pressing elements, in which case the number and arrangement of the pressing elements can then be selected depending on the product divisions of the containers, with an arrangement of the receiving openings being particularly preferred which allows the application unit to be adapted to product divisions of 160 mm, 240 mm and/or 320 mm.
- This embodiment of the invention thus makes it possible to adapt the application unit to different product divisions by simply replugging the pressing elements without the need for an adjustment of the rotational speed of the pressing elements by regulating the speed of the drive pulleys.
- the peripheral speed of the pressing elements can permanently correspond to the production speed of the packaging machine, so that different speed profiles for drive motors or the like can be dispensed with.
- each of the drive pulleys has a plurality of, preferably at least eight, receiving openings which are arranged on a circular path with a predetermined circumference, in particular a circumference of 960 mm.
- the receiving openings are divided into a first group with n receiving openings arranged equidistantly from one another, a second group with n receiving openings arranged equidistantly from one another, which is arranged opposite the receiving openings of the first group, and two individual receiving openings arranged centrally between the two groups , which are arranged on a common circular path, where n is a natural number and preferably greater than or equal to 3.
- the application unit has several, preferably three, four or six pressing elements each having a tool plate, the first joint axes of which are connected to the first drive disk and whose second joint axes are connected to the second drive pulley.
- the corresponding pressing elements enable in particular a reliable arrangement of the material blanks on containers assembled in groups of four, six or eight, which have a diameter of 58 or 66 mm, for example, if the pressing elements are on a circular path with a preferably provided circumference of 960 mm are arranged. In doing so, e.g.
- the restriction applies that when processing eight containers assembled into a group and a circumference of 960 mm and three tools evenly distributed over the circumference, only containers with a diameter of 58 mm can usually be processed.
- the arrangement of the pressing elements can be freely selected, with a particularly advantageous embodiment providing for them to be arranged equidistant from one another in order to ensure reliable attachment of the material blanks in a continuously running production process with a constant product division.
- the drive pulleys can be driven in any manner.
- the drive unit comprises a drive motor, preferably an electric motor, particularly preferably a servomotor, for driving the drive pulleys.
- a drive motor in particular an electric motor or servo motor, allows the speed of the drive pulleys and thus the rotational speed of the pressing elements to be determined particularly precisely and accurately, so that an optimal adjustment to the transport speed of the containers to be processed can be achieved.
- the object on which the invention is based is also achieved by a packaging machine with an application unit according to the invention or a further development described above.
- the packaging machine according to the invention is a device for attaching the material cuts to the containers, which in addition to the application unit also has a feed unit for the material cuts and a transport device for moving the containers to be provided with the material cuts along the application unit.
- the packaging machine according to the invention is characterized in that the packaging machine can be manufactured particularly easily and inexpensively due to the simple and compact design of the application unit.
- the continuously working application unit ensures the processing of an even product flow, which makes it easy to integrate the packaging machine into the preceding and subsequent production processes.
- the transport device for conveying the containers in the transport direction along a transport plane is arranged opposite the packaging machine in such a way that the two axes of rotation of the application unit are aligned perpendicular to the transport direction and are arranged at the same distance from the transport plane and offset from one another in the transport direction.
- the tool plates of the pressing elements are aligned parallel to the transport plane due to the intended arrangement of the application unit, which ensures particularly reliable and simple guidance and holding and final attachment of the material blanks to the containers.
- the application unit is mounted in such a way that its height position can be changed.
- this enables containers of different heights to be processed in the packaging machine.
- the packaging machine includes a further application unit.
- the further application unit is expediently arranged behind the first-mentioned application unit in the transport direction.
- the first-mentioned application unit for attachment in particular for Binding-forming attachment of a material blank to a container group of containers, while the further application unit is designed to lock two lateral folding flaps of the material blank attached to the containers.
- the first-mentioned and the further application unit can be constructed essentially identically to one another, but with the difference that the further application unit preferably has a locking element for locking the lateral folding flaps on the underside of the tool plate or instead of the tool plate.
- Said locking element can, for example, have a shape tapering downwards.
- a folding device for folding or turning over the lateral folding flaps of the material blank is preferably arranged between the first-mentioned application unit and the further application unit.
- a method according to the invention for operating an application unit or a packaging machine - as described above in a manner according to the invention or a further development - provides that the containers are first conveyed with a first product division and then the product division is changed so that the containers are conveyed with a second product division, which differs from the first product division, a fixed number of pressing elements being used independently of the product division and their position on the drive pulleys being left unchanged.
- the application unit has a fixed number of pressing elements whose position on the drive pulleys cannot be changed, so that the application unit does not have to be reconfigured in the event of a change in the product division, which allows the method to be carried out particularly simply and inexpensively.
- the pressing elements being designed here in such a way that they can be used with a number of product divisions.
- the rotational speed of the pressing elements is variable for the given product division. A change in the rotational speed by changing the rotational speed of the drive pulleys allows the application unit to be adapted in a special way to changing product divisions, as a result of which the flexibility of the method is increased in a special way.
- the containers are initially conveyed with a first product division and then the product division is changed so that the containers are conveyed with a second product division which differs from the first product division, the number of pressing elements and/or their position on the drive pulleys being changed when the product division is changed.
- this method it is provided that depending on the product division, changes are made to the application unit in which the position and/or number of the pressing elements are changed and thus adapted to the changed product division.
- This method according to the invention allows simple adaptation to different product divisions using an application unit that remains the same, which can be adapted to the changed product division by simply adjusting the number or position of the pressing elements.
- the rotational speed of the pressing elements is particularly advantageously made for the rotational speed of the pressing elements to be constant for the product division specified in each case, ie the rotational speed does not vary over time for the respective product division, with the rotational speed corresponding to the transport speed of the containers.
- the rotational speed advantageously corresponds to the transport speed of the containers, so that an optimal interaction of the tool plates arranged on the pressing elements with the material blanks to be arranged on the containers is ensured.
