Dispositivo paletizador de latasCan palletizing device

SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICATECHNIQUE SECTOR

La presente invención se refiere a un equipo que ha sido especialmente diseñado para poder ser integrado fácilmente en cualquier línea de producción adecuada, en orden a automatizar completamente el proceso de apilado de las latas en carros, suministradas de forma individual a través de una cadena de alimentación de latas.The present invention refers to equipment that has been specially designed to be easily integrated into any suitable production line, in order to completely automate the process of stacking cans on carts, supplied individually through a chain of can feeding.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Si bien se conocen instalaciones para el paletizado automático de objetos, como por ejemplo el paletizado de cajas que se describe en el modelo de utilidad U202131847, el proceso de apilamiento que se lleva en este tipo de dispositivos consiste en elevar el producto entrante a la máquina para que éste sea descargado y consecuentemente apilado sobre el producto inmediatamente posterior, para nuevamente elevar el conjunto y volverlo a apilar sobre el producto entrante hasta alcanzar la altura de pila preestablecida, de manera que la pila se alimenta sobre un sistema de cintas transportadoras que permiten disponer varias pilas lateral y longitudinalmente, hasta que se obtenga un conjunto de dimensiones en planta acorde a las dimensiones en planta del palet sobre el que se depositan los productos.Although facilities are known for the automatic palletizing of objects, such as the palletizing of boxes described in utility model U202131847, the stacking process carried out in this type of device consists of lifting the incoming product to the machine. so that it is unloaded and consequently stacked on the immediately subsequent product, to once again raise the assembly and stack it again on the incoming product until the pre-established stack height is reached, so that the stack is fed on a system of conveyor belts that allow arrange several stacks laterally and longitudinally, until a set of plan dimensions is obtained according to the plan dimensions of the pallet on which the products are deposited.

Esta solución puede ser efectiva para objetos a paletizar de grandes dimensiones, como es el caso del modelo descrito, en el que las dimensiones en planta del palet permiten recibir a cuatro cajas a apilar, de manera que los medios de izado de éstas en el apilamiento no resultan excesivamente complejos y las pilas resultan estables en su manejo debido a las grandes dimensiones en planta de los productos tratados.This solution can be effective for large objects to be palletized, as is the case of the model described, in which the plan dimensions of the pallet allow it to receive four boxes to be stacked, so that the means of lifting them in the stacking They are not excessively complex and the piles are stable in handling due to the large plant dimensions of the treated products.

Ahora bien, si como en el presente caso se trata de apilar latas de relativas reducidas dimensiones, en cuya distribución en planta por pila pueden participar más de cien unidades por planta de la pila, así como un elevado número de productos por pila, el sistema previsto en el modelo de utilidad U202131847 resulta totalmente ineficiente e inestable, precisando de una estructura sumamente compleja para adaptarse a este tipo de productos a apilar.Now, if, as in the present case, it is a matter of stacking cans of relatively small dimensions, in whose distribution on floor per stack more than one hundred units per floor of the stack may participate, as well as a high number of products per stack, the system provided in the utility model U202131847 is totally inefficient and unstable, requiring of an extremely complex structure to adapt to this type of products to be stacked.

De hecho, la presente invención si bien es aplicable a palets, las latas se apilarán preferentemente en carros/jaulas, que permitan su fácil traslado por las instalaciones.In fact, although the present invention is applicable to pallets, the cans will preferably be stacked in carts/cages, which allow them to be easily transported throughout the facilities.

EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNEXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

El dispositivo paletizador de latas que se preconiza resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en base a una solución sencilla pero eficaz.The can palletizing device that is recommended completely satisfactorily solves the previously mentioned problem, based on a simple but effective solution.

Para ello, y de forma más concreta, se ha previsto que en el dispositivo de la invención se establezca una cinta transportadora de anchura acorde a la anchura o longitud del palet o jaula a rellenar, cinta en uno de cuyos extremos, enrasada y perpendicularmente a la misma se sitúa una cinta de alimentación de las latas, en el que se establece un final o tope de recorrido que se corresponde con uno de los bordes laterales de la primera cinta transportadora.To this end, and more specifically, it has been foreseen that in the device of the invention a conveyor belt with a width according to the width or length of the pallet or cage to be filled is established, a belt at one end of which, flush and perpendicular to A can feeding belt is located there, in which an end or travel stop is established that corresponds to one of the lateral edges of the first conveyor belt.

A través de unos sensores, las latas alimentadas van formando una fila de anchura acorde a la anchura de la primera cinta, de modo que una vez obtenida dicha fila, se para momentáneamente la alimentación de las latas, para accionar un empujador que desplaza la fila de latas obtenidas hacia la primera cinta transportadora.Through sensors, the fed cans form a row of width according to the width of the first belt, so that once said row is obtained, the feeding of the cans is momentarily stopped to activate a pusher that moves the row. of cans obtained towards the first conveyor belt.

Transversalmente a dicha cinta transportadora y a una distancia preestablecida se establece un elemento retenedor de las latas, materializado en una pletina abatible, que permite retener las filas de latas aunque la cinta transportadora sigua desplazándose, al deslizarse éstas sobre dicha cinta.Transversely to said conveyor belt and at a pre-established distance, a retaining element for the cans is established, materialized in a folding plate, which allows the rows of cans to be retained even if the conveyor belt continues to move, as they slide on said belt.

Esto permite que la siguiente fila de lata que es suministrada a la cinta por el empujador avance hasta hacer contacto con la primera fila, proceso que se repetirá hasta obtener tantas filas de latas como anchura/longitud tenga el jaulón o palet a cargar.This allows the next row of cans that is supplied to the belt by the pusher to advance until it makes contact with the first row, a process that will be repeated until there are as many rows of cans as the width/length of the cage or pallet to be loaded.

De esta manera, una vez obtenida la distribución en planta de latas que permite recibir el jaulón o palet (en adelante capa), el elemento retenedor bascula para permitir avanzar a todo el conjunto de forma simultánea a través de la citada cinta transportadora.In this way, once the distribution in the can plant is obtained that allows the cage or pallet (hereinafter layer) to be received, the retaining element tilts to allow the the entire assembly simultaneously through the aforementioned conveyor belt.

De forma mas concreta, los jaulones presentarán una configuración prismático rectangular, completamente abiertos superiormente e incorporando una ventana central en su base que permite actuar a un sistema de elevación sobre una plancha inferior metálica sobre la que apoyará la primera capa de latas.More specifically, the cages will have a rectangular prismatic configuration, completely open at the top and incorporating a central window at their base that allows a lifting system to act on a lower metal plate on which the first layer of cans will rest.

De acuerdo con una de las características fundamentales de la invención, se ha previsto que la plancha que se inserta en el jaulón pueda desplazarse verticalmente en su seno mediante una pareja de cilindros hidráulicos que se vinculan a su cara inferior a través de una plataforma común a los mismos, de modo que a través de este mecanismo se pueda regular a voluntad la altura de la plancha y consecuentemente de las latas situadas sobre ésta.In accordance with one of the fundamental characteristics of the invention, it has been planned that the plate that is inserted into the cage can move vertically within it by means of a pair of hydraulic cylinders that are linked to its lower face through a common platform. the same, so that through this mechanism the height of the iron and consequently of the cans placed on it can be adjusted at will.

De esta manera, inicialmente la plancha se dispondrá enrasado con la boca de salida de la cinta transportadora, siendo cargado con la primera capa de latas, la cual es arrastrada de forma controlada por un carro paralelo a la cinta transportadora, que incluye un cabezal de vacío que aplica presión negativa sobre cada una de las latas, y se desplaza desde el extremo de la cinta hasta el jaulón, desplazando toda la capa de latas.In this way, initially the plate will be arranged flush with the outlet mouth of the conveyor belt, being loaded with the first layer of cans, which is dragged in a controlled manner by a carriage parallel to the conveyor belt, which includes a loading head. vacuum that applies negative pressure on each of the cans, and moves from the end of the belt to the cage, displacing the entire layer of cans.

El carro opcionalmente podría materializarse en un carro empujador mecánico, en el que se establece un marco perimetral rectangular, en el que el borde anterior del mismo es abatible, para permitir la entrada en dicho marco del jaulón de la capa de latas a apilar, de manera que una vez introducidas en su seno el marco se cierra automáticamente.The cart could optionally be materialized in a mechanical pusher cart, in which a rectangular perimeter frame is established, in which the front edge of the same is foldable, to allow the entry into said frame of the cage of the layer of cans to be stacked, so that once inserted into it, the frame closes automatically.

El carro opcionalmente podría ser de tipo magnético, es decir incluir unos cabezales magnéticos que se adaptan superiormente a las latas para su desplazamiento final hasta el jaulón.The cart could optionally be of the magnetic type, that is, include magnetic heads that adapt superiorly to the cans for their final movement to the cage.

Una vez alimentada la capa, los cilindros hidráulicos desplazarán en sentido descendente al palet para que la capa de latas quede enrasada con la embocadura del jaulón, de manera que, transversalmente a esta zona se establece una araña neumática que coloca una plancha separadora sobre el conjunto de latas o capa.Once the layer is fed, the hydraulic cylinders will move the pallet downwards so that the layer of cans is flush with the mouth of the cage, so that, transversely to this area, a pneumatic spider is established that places a separating plate on the assembly. of cans or layer.

Estas planchas en funciones de separador tienen la función adicional de medio de esterilización para las latas.These plates, acting as separators, have the additional function of a means of sterilization for cans.

Una vez enrasado el conjunto con la cinta transportadora, el proceso se repetirá, alimentando una nueva capa de latas a través del citado carro, y procediéndose seguidamente a desplazar el conjunto apilado en sentido descendente para que éste nuevamente quede enrasado con la cinta, para ser alimentado con otra capa previa implantación de la correspondiente plancha separadora.Once the assembly is flush with the conveyor belt, the process will be repeated, feeding a new layer of cans through the aforementioned carriage, and then proceeding to move the stacked assembly downwards so that it is again flush with the belt, to be fed with another layer prior to implantation of the corresponding separating plate.

La instalación así descrita puede incluir una línea adicional, paralela a la descrita, de manera que la araña neumática sea desplazable sobre una y otra línea, al trabajar transversalmente a éstas, no requiriendo duplicar este mecanismo.The installation thus described may include an additional line, parallel to the one described, so that the pneumatic spider is movable on both lines, working transversally to them, not requiring duplication of this mechanism.

De esta forma, la plancha inferior del jaulón se irá cargando de capas y separadores e irá desplazándose en sentido inferior capa a capa hasta alcanzar el fondo de los jaulones, posición en la que se desvinculará automáticamente de los cilindros elevadores quedando el jaulón listo para ser desplazado por rodadura hasta la zona de almacenamiento/distribución.In this way, the lower plate of the cage will be loaded with layers and separators and will move downwards layer by layer until it reaches the bottom of the cages, a position in which it will automatically detach from the lifting cylinders, leaving the cage ready to be moved by rolling to the storage/distribution area.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

A la vista de las figuras reseñadas, puede observarse como en el dispositivo paletizador de latas participa una línea de alimentación (1) de latas (2) que se dispone transversalmente a al menos una cinta transportadora (3).In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the can palletizing device involves a feeding line (1) of cans (2) that is arranged transversely to at least one conveyor belt (3).

En la línea de alimentación (1) se establece un fin de recorrido (4) donde hacen tope las latas (2), quedando estas enrasadas con la cinta trasportadora (3).In the feeding line (1), an end of travel (4) is established where the cans (2) abut, leaving them flush with the conveyor belt (3).

A través de sensores (5) se controla el número de latas alimentadas, de modo que cuando se forme una fila dicha fila es empujada hacia la cinta transportadora (3) por medio de un mecanismo empujador (6).Through sensors (5) the number of cans fed is controlled, so that when a row is formed, said row is pushed towards the conveyor belt (3) by means of a pushing mechanism (6).

Así pues, la anchura de la cinta transportadora (3) será idéntica a una de las dos dimensiones en planta del jaulon a rellenar, ya sea su anchura o longitud.Thus, the width of the conveyor belt (3) will be identical to one of the two plan dimensions of the cage to be filled, whether its width or length.

La cinta transportadora (3) permanecerá en movimiento en todo el proceso de formación de las capas, de manera que se ha previsto que la misma sea de un material que facilite el deslizamiento de las latas sobre la misma.The conveyor belt (3) will remain in motion throughout the process of forming the layers, so it has been planned to be made of a material that facilitates the sliding of the cans on it.

En tal sentido, se ha previsto que transversalmente a dicha cinta transportadora y a una distancia preestablecida se establezca un elemento retenedor de las latas (7), materializado en una pletina abatible mediante un mecanismo automatizado (8), pletina que queda dispuesta perpendicularmente a la cinta con una cierta holgura vertical, lo que permite retener las filas de latas, aunque la cinta transportadora sigua desplazándose, al deslizarse éstas sobre dicha cinta.In this sense, it has been planned that a can retaining element (7) will be established transversely to said conveyor belt and at a pre-established distance, materialized in a folding plate using an automated mechanism (8), a plate that is arranged perpendicular to the belt. with a certain vertical clearance, which allows the rows of cans to be retained, although the conveyor belt continues to move, as they slide on said belt.

Esto hace que las filas alimentadas por el empujador (6) se vayan juntando tal como muestra la figura 1, hasta formar una capa de dimensiones en planta acordes a las del jaulón a rellenar, momento en el cual el mecanismo automatizado (8) liberará el retenedor de latas (7) para que dicho conjunto avance agrupado a lo largo de la cinta transportadora (3).This causes the rows fed by the pusher (6) to join together as shows Figure 1, until forming a layer of dimensions in plan according to those of the cage to be filled, at which time the automated mechanism (8) will release the can retainer (7) so that said assembly advances grouped along the conveyor belt (3).

Para un mejor control y asegurado de la posición relativa de las latas, se ha previsto que en correspondencia con la zona posterior de la cinta transportadora (3) se disponga un segundo retenedor de latas (7’).For better control and assurance of the relative position of the cans, it has been planned that a second can retainer (7') will be arranged in correspondence with the rear area of the conveyor belt (3).

Tal y como se ha dicho con anterioridad, la instalación de la invención puede disponer de dos líneas trabajando en paralelo, de manera que la cinta o cintas transportadoras acceden por su extremo opuesto al de alimentación unitaria de las latas a una estructura en la que se define al menos una cámara (9) en la que se reciben a los jaulones (10) dotados de ruedas (11), jaulones (10) que presentan una configuración prismático rectangular, abiertos superiormente y con una ventana en su base inferior, de manera que su embocadura superior queda enrasada con el extremo de salida de las cintas transportadoras (3). Estas cámaras (9) incluirán unos medios de estabilización de los jaulones a partir de cilindros cuyos vástagos al extenderse bloquean lateralmente los jaulones impidiendo que éstos se muevan.As previously stated, the installation of the invention can have two lines working in parallel, so that the conveyor belt or belts access a structure in which the cans are fed at the opposite end. defines at least one chamber (9) in which the cages (10) equipped with wheels (11) are received, cages (10) that have a rectangular prismatic configuration, open at the top and with a window at its lower base, so that its upper mouth is flush with the exit end of the conveyor belts (3). These chambers (9) will include means for stabilizing the cages based on cylinders whose stems, when extended, laterally block the cages, preventing them from moving.

En correspondencia con el suelo o base de las cámaras (9) se dispondrán unos cilindros hidráulicos que se vinculan a una plataforma que apoya sobre la cara inferior de una plancha metálica desplazable verticalmente en el seno del jaulón (10), contando con la correspondiente central hidráulica.In correspondence with the floor or base of the chambers (9), there will be hydraulic cylinders that are linked to a platform that rests on the lower face of a metal plate that can be moved vertically within the cage (10), with the corresponding central unit. hydraulics.

Opcionalmente, este mecanismo podría trabajar directamente sobre palets en sustitución de los jaulones, para que las latas se apilen directamente sobre palets en vez de sobre jaulones, si bien esta solución es menos interesante.Optionally, this mechanism could work directly on pallets instead of cages, so that the cans are stacked directly on pallets instead of on cages, although this solution is less interesting.

Por su parte, entre las dos cámaras (9) se definirá una cámara adicional (12), destinada a recibir en su seno un jaulón (10’) rodante con una pila de separadores (13), destinados a ser aplicados entre cada capa y capa de latas por medio de una araña neumática (14) desplazable transversalmente sobre una guía transversal (15), claramente visible en la figura 3, para operar sobre una u otra línea, reduciendo así la duplicación de mecanismos en instalaciones de varias líneas. De igual manera en esta cámara adicional se dispondrá un mecanismo hidráulico similar al del previsto en correspondencia con las cámaras (9).For its part, between the two chambers (9), an additional chamber (12) will be defined, intended to receive within it a rolling cage (10') with a stack of separators (13), intended to be applied between each layer and layer of cans by means of a pneumatic spider (14) transversely movable on a transverse guide (15), clearly visible in Figure 3, to operate on one line or another, thus reducing the duplication of mechanisms in multi-line installations. Likewise, in this additional chamber, a hydraulic mechanism similar to the one provided in correspondence with the chambers (9) will be arranged.

Tal y como se puede observar en la figura 4, en correspondencia con la zona de descarga de la cinta transportadora (3) se establece un carro (16), desplazable sobre una guía longitudinal (17), en el que se establece un marco en forma de "U” (18) con una puerta abatible (19), de modo que con la puerta abatible (19) abierta, las latas acceden al marco, de dimensiones en planta acordes a las dimensiones en planta del jaulón, de manera que una vez lleno con las latas la puerta abatible (19) se cierra, y el carro se desplaza horizontalmente desplazando el conjunto de latas hasta la zona en la que se encuentra la plancha metálica desplazable verticalmente sobre el jaulón.As can be seen in Figure 4, in correspondence with the unloading area of the conveyor belt (3), a carriage (16) is established, movable on a longitudinal guide (17), in which a frame is established. "U" shape (18) with a folding door (19), so that with the folding door (19) open, the cans access the frame, with dimensions in plan according to the dimensions in plan of the cage, so that Once filled with the cans, the folding door (19) closes, and the cart moves horizontally, moving the set of cans to the area where the vertically movable metal plate is located on the cage.

Para ello, la citada plancha previamente habrá sido dispuesta a la altura adecuada para quedar enrasada con la capa de latas a partir del mecanismo hidráulico anteriormente descrito.To do this, the aforementioned plate will have previously been arranged at the appropriate height to be flush with the layer of cans using the hydraulic mechanism described above.

A partir de esta estructura, el dispositivo se encargará de variar la altura relativa de la plancha para que esta con las capas de latas que hayan sido dispuestas sobre la misma siempre queden enrasadas con la nueva capa a cargar por medio del carro (16), de modo que entre cada capa de latas se disponga un separador (13) que es aplicado por la araña neumática (14), la cual lo extrae del jaulón (10’) situado en la zona intermedia entre cámaras (9).From this structure, the device will be responsible for varying the relative height of the plate so that it, with the layers of cans that have been arranged on it, are always flush with the new layer to be loaded by means of the carriage (16), so that between each layer of cans there is a separator (13) that is applied by the pneumatic spider (14), which extracts it from the cage (10') located in the intermediate area between chambers (9).

Solo resta señalar por último que, de acuerdo con una variante de realización de la invención, el carro (16) podría estar desprovisto del marco (18) y la puerta abatible (19), e incluir unos cabezales de vacío o magnéticos para desplazar las latas desde el extremo de la cinta transportadora (3) a la zona de paletización de la cámara (9).Finally, it only remains to be noted that, according to a variant embodiment of the invention, the cart (16) could be devoid of the frame (18) and the folding door (19), and include vacuum or magnetic heads to move the cans from the end of the conveyor belt (3) to the palletizing area of the chamber (9).

En el caso de utilizar cabezales de vacío, como el mostrado en la figura 5, en el mismo se definirá un paletizador (20), asistido por una electroválvula EMVP para vacío (21), con mando previo neumático, que se sustentará a la estructura de desplazamiento del mismo mediante un módulo de bridas (22), conjunto que estará asistido por un soplante de vacío, con sus correspondientes tubos flexibles de conexión entre elementos. In the case of using vacuum heads, such as the one shown in Figure 5, a palletizer (20) will be defined therein, assisted by an EMVP solenoid valve for vacuum (21), with pneumatic pre-control, which will be supported by the structure. displacement thereof by means of a flange module (22), a set that will be assisted by a vacuum blower, with its corresponding flexible connection tubes between elements.

Se consigue de esta forma un sistema de paletización compacto y doble, que puede funcionar de forma independiente, con desplazamiento de separadores por araña con ventosas de vacío, que incluye dos sistemas de fijación, uno para fijar las jaulas o carros antes de la operación, y otro para sujetar el separador durante la operación de paletizado. In this way, a compact and double palletizing system is achieved, which can operate independently, with movement of separators by spider with vacuum suction cups, which includes two fixing systems, one to fix the cages or carts before operation, and another to hold the separator during the palletizing operation.
