Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for producing containers from articles which have an oval, non-circular cross-section with a main cross-sectional axis perpendicular to their longitudinal axis.
- methods and devices for producing containers in a variety of configurations are known from the prior art and are used to combine individual articles or articles that are fed one after the other to the device into predefined containers of at least two articles in order to be able to subsequently palletize them, for example .
- this can be done by closing gaps between the individual articles, for example by piling up the successive articles within the device.
- the accumulated items are then transported away in containers of at least two items as required and sent to downstream treatment devices, for example a packaging machine.
- the cross-sectional main axis is understood to mean the axis lying in the cross-sectional plane, which runs through the two points of the cross-section that are furthest apart from each other.
- the invention is based on the object of providing a method and a device for reliably producing containers from at least two articles, in particular containers, which have an oval, non-circular cross-section with a main cross-sectional axis perpendicular to their longitudinal axis.
- the invention solves the problem by a method with the features of claim 1 and by a device with the features of claim 12.
- Advantageous developments of the method are specified in the dependent claims 2 to 11. Further refinements of the device according to the invention are listed in the dependent claims 13 to 19.
- the articles to be processed which have an oval, non-circular cross-section with the main cross-sectional axis perpendicular to their longitudinal axis, are fed to an inlet-side end of a conveyor device, which transports them to an outlet-side end of the conveyor device.
- the conveying device first separates the articles fed to the conveying device. At least some of the articles are then provided with an adhesive using an adhesive application device. At least two of the items are then pressed together and connected to each other using the adhesive.
- the selection of items to be provided with adhesive depends on the number of items to be combined in an item group. For example, to produce article groups consisting of two articles, it is only necessary to apply an adhesive to every second article in order to then connect it to the following article. When producing article groups consisting of more than two articles, the articles to be provided with adhesive are adapted accordingly. For example, when producing article groups consisting of three articles, the adhesive on every third article can be dispensed with since the connection to the second article can be realized via the adhesive applied to it.
- the alignment of the articles by the conveyor device depends on the arrangement of the adhesive application device relative to the conveyor device and the resulting direction of the adhesive application. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that after separation the articles are aligned with their respective main cross-sectional axis parallel to the transport direction of the conveyor device and the adhesive is applied to the articles in this parallel direction. After the adhesive has been applied, the articles are preferably rotated about their respective longitudinal axis, so that after rotation, the articles are then aligned with their respective main cross-sectional axis perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor device and the connection of at least two articles takes place in this vertical orientation, particularly preferably the at least two items are pressed together in the area of the adhesive. The rotation of the articles or their alignment with one another is caused by the conveyor device.
- the articles fed to the conveyor device are initially aligned by the conveyor device after separation with their respective main cross-sectional axes parallel to the transport direction of the conveyor device.
- the adhesive is then applied in this parallel orientation.
- they are twisted after the adhesive has been applied, so that after rotation the articles are aligned with their respective main cross-sectional axes perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor device, which results in an arrangement of the articles in which the main cross-sectional axes of the articles are parallel are aligned with each other.
- the design of the conveyor device is basically freely selectable, but according to an advantageous development it is provided that the conveyor device comprises two conveyor screws arranged parallel and at a distance from one another and the articles are transported between the two conveyor screws from the inlet end of the conveyor device to its outlet end, whereby the The items are separated using the screw conveyor.
- the use of screw conveyors is characterized by the fact that they enable both an alignment and a transport of the articles in the transport direction in a simple manner, so that additional devices can be dispensed with. By defining the contour of the screw conveyor, the movement of the items can be determined as required.
- the further processing of the manufactured article groups can basically be carried out in any way. According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, it is provided that successive groups of articles made up of articles connected to one another by adhesive are separated after exiting the conveyor device on the outlet side. Separation allows controlled further processing of the manufactured article groups, for example their grouping for subsequent processing in a packaging facility.
- the article groups to be connected to one another can be grouped in a grouping station, with the article groups being provided with an adhesive before being grouped using a second adhesive application device and then being connected to one another via the adhesive during grouping, so that multi-row containers can be produced in which the individual containers are reliably connected via an adhesive application.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible in a particularly reliable manner to provide articles with an oval cross-section with an adhesive at a predetermined point and then to align them with one another in such a way that they are pressed against one another and a connection between at least two articles is created via the adhesive.
- the conveying device is designed to rotate the articles about their respective longitudinal axis when transporting them from the inlet end to the outlet end in such a way that the articles are from an orientation in which the articles are parallel to the main cross-sectional axis Transport direction of the conveyor device are aligned in an orientation in which the articles are aligned with their respective main cross-sectional axis perpendicular to the transport direction of the conveyor device.
- the conveyor device comprises two conveyor screws arranged parallel and at a distance from one another, between which the articles can be transported.
- the use of screw conveyors is characterized by the fact that they conveniently enable both the alignment and the transport of the articles through the conveyor device, so that additional devices can be dispensed with.
- the contour of the screw conveyor can be used to determine the sequence of movements of the articles during transport through the conveyor device.
- the device has a separating unit downstream of the outlet end of the conveyor device in the transport direction for separating successive article groups from articles connected to one another by adhesive. Via the separating unit, the article groups emerging from the conveyor device and formed from at least two articles can be fed in a predetermined manner to a downstream processing station, for example a packaging station.
- the device has at least two conveying devices arranged adjacent to one another for generating at least two tracks of article groups from articles connected to one another by adhesive, so that adjacent to one another, preferably parallel next to each other, several groups of articles emerge from the device, which, according to a particularly advantageous development of the invention, are further processed in a grouping station for grouping and connecting the groups of articles emerging from the at least two conveying devices.
- the article groups can be put together in a predetermined manner and then fed to a packaging device, for example.
- the compilations are, for example, article groups in the size of 2x2, 2x3 or 2x4 articles or the like.
- the grouping station has a second adhesive application device for applying an adhesive to the article groups to be connected to one another and is designed to press the grouped, adhesive-provided article groups together.
- the second adhesive application device in the area of the grouping station makes it possible to connect the article groups to be connected in the grouping station to one another in a particularly reliable manner, for which purpose the article groups are provided with an adhesive and then connected to one another, in particular pressed together, so that a particularly reliable cohesion of the Article groups are reached.
- the device has a binding station downstream of the grouping station in the transport direction, in which the adhesive connection binds and thus a reliable cohesion is guaranteed.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of a method for producing containers from articles with an oval cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the article.
- Figure 1 shows a cross section of an article 2 perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, which is aligned perpendicular to a transport plane of the conveyor device 4 during transport through a conveyor device 4.
- the cross-sectional main axis HA extends in the cross-sectional plane, which runs through the points of the cross-section that are furthest apart from one another.
- Figure 2 shows a schematic representation of a process sequence for producing article groups 14 along a transport level two corresponding to the drawing level Conveying devices 4 fed articles 1, which have an oval cross section perpendicular to their longitudinal axis, which is aligned parallel to the transport plane.
- the articles 1 are fed to the two conveying devices 4 at their inlet end 2 without any distance.
- the conveying devices 4 which have two conveyor screws 5 arranged adjacent to one another, the articles 1 are transported from the inlet-side ends 2 to the outlet-side ends 3.
- the articles 1 are separated via a corresponding contour of the screw conveyors 5 and their alignment with the transport direction 13, so that they are aligned with the application direction of an adhesive of a first adhesive application device 11 and can be provided with an adhesive if necessary.
- the article groups 14 are spaced apart from one another and then fed to a grouping station 9.
- a grouping station 9 for example by a driver, two article groups 14 are grouped into a container 15, the article groups 14 being shifted towards one another transversely to the transport direction 13.
- adhesive is applied from a second adhesive application device 12 to at least one of the mutually facing sides of the article groups 14. These are then pressed together and thus adhesively connected.
- the containers 15 reach a setting station 10, in which the adhesive can set, so that a reliable connection of the article groups 14 is guaranteed.
