Description

The present invention relates to an intermittent boxing device for boxing an article to be packed and an attachment, and in particular, like a medicine and its nohaku, wrapping the article to be packed in a U-shaped strip-like elongated attachment, The present invention relates to an intermittent boxing device for boxing at high speed.

Conventionally, in the pharmaceutical industry, for example, PTP sheets containing tablets are stacked in a plurality of sheets and enclosed in aluminum wrapping paper. Then, an object to be packed is appropriately referred to as an article to be packed, a box to be packed with an article to be packed is referred to as a packing box, and a document to be inserted is referred to as an attachment.

Such an attachment is stored in a packing box so as to be wrapped in a strip shape as a wrapping paper folded or crushed in a bellows shape and bent into a U-shape to wrap an item to be packed.

Conventionally, there are a continuous boxing device and an intermittent type boxing device for packing an article to be packed with an attachment. In each boxing device, the packed product transfer conveyor for transferring the packed product and the packing box transfer conveyor for transferring the packing box are run side by side. The mainstream type is to push the item to be packed and insert it into the packing box while winding the attachment.

Here, in the case of a continuous boxing device, it is necessary to run the pusher and the attachment feeder in parallel with the conveyor and to return after insertion, so the structure is complicated and the unit price of the device is high. There was a point. In addition, there are many combinations of products to be packed, packing boxes, and attachments for pharmaceutical products, and there are cases where small lots of boxes are packed, and the work of conditioning equipment for each lot derived from a complicated structure is complicated. There was a problem of becoming. In addition, there is a situation in which a large-scale device is not preferred in a boxing factory with restrictions on the line, resulting in an increase in size due to the complexity of the device structure.

On the other hand, in the case of an intermittent boxing device, the transfer of the conveyor is stopped instantaneously, and the packaged product is inserted at this time. Therefore, the pusher simply needs to be reciprocated, and a parallel running mechanism is not necessary. Similarly, since the parallel running mechanism of the attachment is not necessary, the apparatus as a whole has the advantage that it is more compact and the unit price is lower than the continuous type. In addition, the conditions of the apparatus can be simply and easily performed.

However, in recent years, along with the increase in the size of written paper (for example, the shift from A4 paper to A3 paper) or the increase in the content of the description, the strip-shaped attachments have become correspondingly thicker and harder. For this reason, for example, the PTP sheet enclosed in the aluminum wrapping paper may cause damage or damage to the PTP sheet when the wrapping paper hits the attachment. This is not limited to medicines, but can occur when the package insert is harder than the packaged item.

For this reason, as shown in FIG. 5, an intermittent boxing device has been developed that adopts a pusher structure integrated with a protective plate and realizes insertion while protecting the packaged item from a hard attachment. Yes. This device also ensures insertion of the attachment because the protective plate guides the attachment to the packaging box.

However, the apparatus shown in FIG. 5 has a problem in that when the pusher returns, the protective plate may bring back the packaged item or the attached document.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, a boxing device has been developed in which the pusher and the protection plate are separated and the protection plate is returned to the initial position (standby position) until the pusher completes the insertion of the packaged product.

However, in an actual boxing device, in order to improve the insertability of the packaged product, the packaged product transfer conveyor is provided with a guide plate (regulator) for maintaining the posture of the packaged product, Structure is adopted.

For this reason, in order to avoid interference with a regulation body, it is necessary for the protection plate to set the position pulled back further to the front of the packaged goods transfer conveyor as an initial position or to perform an avoidance operation.

Generally, in an intermittent boxing device, how to shorten the stop time and increase the number of boxes per unit time is the largest evaluation index. Therefore, there is a problem that the longer the initial position of the protective plate is away from the conveyor, the more time is lost as the stroke length increases. Even when the protective plate performs an avoidance operation, there are problems that the structure is complicated and an avoidance time is always required.

That is, conventionally, an intermittent boxing device that boxes an article to be packed with an attachment has a problem that the boxing efficiency is reduced if insertion reliability is to be ensured.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and provides an intermittent boxing device that improves the insertion reliability of a packaged item and an attachment into a packing box and can increase the number of insertions per unit time. The purpose is to do.

The intermittent boxing device according to claim 1 is an intermittent type boxing device that wraps a packaged product in a U-shaped strip-shaped attachment and packs both the attachment and the packaged product in a packaging box. The opening packaging box is placed side by side in the packing box transfer conveyor, which is intermittently transferred in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction while being oriented and placed in the insertion direction of the packaged goods, The packaged goods transfer conveyor having a regulation body that intermittently sequentially transfers the packaged goods so that the packaging box is positioned on the extension line in the insertion direction of the packaged goods, and that regulates the insertion posture deviation of the packaged goods, A pusher which is fixed at a position facing the packing box transfer conveyor across the packing product transfer conveyor, pushes the packing product into the packing box from the rear end in the insertion direction of the packing product, and the packing box transfer conveyor Inserting the packaged goods between the packaged goods conveyor Attachment supply machine that sequentially supplies attachments so that the long side of the strip is parallel to the vertical or horizontal side of the packaging box opening, and the attachment supplied by the attachment supply machine A bumper that is a plate that can be inserted into the packing box and has a surface extending in the insertion direction. After the attachment is bent on the attachment by the body, the pusher is controlled so that the tip of the packaged product in the insertion direction is brought into contact with the attachment, and the abutting body and the pusher are kept at the same speed for a predetermined time. And a control unit for inserting the packaged product into the packaging box.

The intermittent boxing device according to claim 2 is an intermittent boxing device that wraps a packaged product in a U-shaped strip-shaped attachment and packs both the attachment and the packaged product in a packaging box. The opening packaging box is placed side by side in the packing box transfer conveyor, which is intermittently transferred in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction while being oriented and placed in the insertion direction of the packaged goods, The packaged goods transfer conveyor having a regulation body that intermittently sequentially transfers the packaged goods so that the packaging box is positioned on the extension line in the insertion direction of the packaged goods, and that regulates the insertion posture deviation of the packaged goods, A pusher which is fixed at a position facing the packing box transfer conveyor across the packing product transfer conveyor, pushes the packing product into the packing box from the rear end in the insertion direction of the packing product, and the packing box transfer conveyor Inserting the packaged goods between the packaged goods conveyor Attachment supply machine that sequentially supplies attachments so that the long side of the strip is parallel to the vertical or horizontal side of the packaging box opening, and the attachment supplied by the attachment supply machine A bumper that is a plate that can be inserted into the packing box and has a surface extending in the insertion direction. After the attachment has been bent by the body , the pusher and the abutting body are controlled so that the tip in the insertion direction of the abutting body is ahead of the tip in the advancing direction of the packaged product for a predetermined time. And a control unit that inserts the product to be packed into the packing box.

That is, the invention according to claim 1 and claim 2 reduces the impact of the packaged product against the package insert and prevents the packaged product from being damaged even if the package is thick. In addition, since the abutting body is positioned between the conveyors, the time loss associated with the conventional protective plate stroke length or the operation of avoiding interference with the regulating body can be eliminated. The number of insertions into the box can be improved.

  The strip shape means a state in which the paper is in the shape of a bellows or a crushed paper, and is folded in an elongated shape. The U-shape is not necessarily limited to being bent without a crease, and in this sense, a V-shape and a U-shape are also included. That is, the shape is not particularly limited as long as the shape surrounds three surfaces including the upper surface, the lower surface, and the front surface of the packaged item (or includes the left side surface, the right side surface, and the front surface).

  The open packaging box means that the flap is not closed and a packaged item can be inserted. The opposing surface (front surface in the insertion direction) is preferably closed when the flap is attached to prevent over-insertion of the packaged product. In addition, a restraining plate that suppresses the movement of the packing box in the insertion direction may be erected on the packing box transfer conveyor, and the front surface of the packing box in the insertion direction may be brought into contact therewith.

Examples of the restricting body include an example in which so-called partition plates are provided on the left and right in the transfer direction. However, the restriction body is not limited to the plate, and may be an aspect in which pin bodies or wire bodies are arranged in the left and right in the transfer direction. . Moreover, it is not always required to be erected or implanted in the object to be packed goods transfer conveyor, is Ategawa from the conveyor top of it may be a mode of the mobile conveyor and a monitor.

  The vertical side or horizontal side of the opening means not the side of the flap that can be formed obliquely as appropriate, but the vertical side or horizontal side of the packaging box when it is boxed. That is, when the transfer surface of the packing box transfer conveyor is horizontal and the packing box is a cube, it means a vertical side and a horizontal side. In other words, it means that the attachment supply machine supplies the attachment vertically (vertically) or horizontally (horizontal) with the strip surface perpendicular to the insertion direction of the packaged product. In addition, it is preferable that the supply position of the attachment is close to the packing box transfer conveyor.

  The attachment supplied by the attachment supply machine means an attachment at the beginning of supply before the attachment is bent into a U-shape.

The bending favorite phrase, is folded ANNEX, the rigidity of the long sides of the mountain fold or valley fold portions is high, which by provided for the purpose of alleviating a collision impact of the pack goods, in this sense, Microscopically, it can also be expressed as a fold start point that is singular or plural.

In addition , the invention according to claim 1 prevents the damage of the packaged product because the plate body as the abutting body enters the packing box and the abutting body and the pusher cooperate to perform the insertion work. The property is further improved. In addition, the insertion reliability of the attachment is further improved.

  From the viewpoint of the insertion reliability of the attachment and the damage prevention of the packaged product, the bumper is advanced to a predetermined position, and when the tip of the packaged product is almost aligned with the plate body tip, It is preferable to move the body and the pusher at the same speed for a predetermined time. At this time, control for switching the insertion speed of the abutment body in two stages may be performed.

  The bumper may have a length up to the vicinity of the insertion tip of the packaging box, but if the attachment is inserted to some extent and becomes U-shaped, the load on the tip of the packaged item is reduced, The length may be halfway through the packaging box.

  In addition, the plate body which is a bumping body does not necessarily need to be one sheet. When the attachment is supplied vertically, it is preferable to place one piece on the upper surface side in the packaging box, but when the attachment is supplied horizontally, it is near the side on the left and right in the insertion direction in the packaging box. Two sheets may be arranged. In any case, it is needless to say that the abutting body is in a position that does not prevent insertion of the packaged product while entering the packing box.

In addition , the invention according to claim 2 prevents the packaged product from being damaged because the plate body as the abutting body enters the packing box and the abutting body and the pusher cooperate to perform the insertion work. The property is further improved. In addition, the insertion reliability of the attachment is further improved. In particular, when the article to be packed is easily damaged, the abutting body enters the packaging box in advance for a predetermined time. In this sense, the abutting body can be expressed as a protective plate. The predetermined time may be a time until the insertion operation is completed or a time until the insertion is completed.

The intermittent boxing device according to claim 3 is the intermittent boxing device according to claim 1 or 2 , wherein the attachment feeder supplies the attachment with the long side of the strip as the vertical direction, The body reciprocates in the horizontal direction with a predetermined gap from the upper surface of the packaging box.

That is, the invention according to claim 3 can ensure the damage prevention property of the packaged product and the insertion reliability of the attached document with a single plate body, so that the device configuration can be further simplified. That is, the upper part of the attachment is a plate, and the lower part of the attachment is a packaged item, so that a U-shaped bend can be obtained.

The intermittent boxing device according to claim 4 is the intermittent boxing device according to claim 1, 2, or 3 , wherein the standby position of the bumper is sandwiched between the attachments supplied by the attachment supply device. And an auxiliary body that is disposed in the vicinity of the reciprocating locus of the abutment body and extends in the short direction of the strip to assist the bending of the attachment.

  That is, the invention according to claim 4 can prevent the packaging box from being damaged. That is, it is possible to prevent the opening from being damaged by hitting the packing box before the attachment forms the U-shape. Thereby, even if it is a case where the intensity | strength of a packaging box is comparatively small, insertion reliability can be improved.

  As an example of the auxiliary body, a roller or a round bar having a length of about the short side of the attached document can be given. In addition, when an appendix is supplied vertically, the aspect which provides one vertically over the packing box transfer conveyor, and when an appendix is supplied horizontally, the aspect provided two vertically can be mentioned.

The intermittent boxing device according to claim 5 is the intermittent boxing device according to any one of claims 1 to 4 , wherein the control unit has a bumper before the insertion of the packaged product by the pusher is completed. It is characterized in that control is performed to pull out from the packing box.

That is, the invention according to claim 5 avoids the return of the packaged item or the attached document by the bumper.

The disposition structure of the intermittent boxing device according to claim 6 is an intermittent box in which a strip-shaped attachment is wrapped in a U shape to wrap a packaged product, and the attachment and the packaged product are packed together in a packaging box. A packing device that is a packing device that transports an opened packing box in a direction perpendicular to the insertion direction while being oriented and placed in the insertion direction of a packaged item, and a packing box transfer conveyor. The packaged goods transfer which has the regulation body which controls the insertion posture shift of the packaged goods intermittently and sequentially moves so that the packaging box is located on the extension line in the insertion direction of the packaged goods. A pusher that is fixed at a position facing the packing box transfer conveyor across the conveyor and the packaged goods transfer conveyor, and pushes the packaged goods into the packing box from the rear end in the insertion direction of the packaged goods. Attaching the attachment as it is with a bend And a plate body that reciprocates back to the standby position so as not to bring back the packaged goods and / or attachments in cooperation with the pusher, and a pusher, a packaged goods transfer conveyor, a board body, The attachment and the packing box transfer conveyor are arranged in this order, and the plate body is separated from the pusher to enable simple reciprocation of the plate body.

That is, the invention according to claim 6 can prevent the packaged product from being damaged by reducing the impact of the packaged product against the packaged insert even if the package is thick. It is possible to provide a layout that can be operated and can be downsized.

  In addition, in the case of a general packaged product, the standby position before completion of insertion by the pusher means that the packaged product and / or the attached document is returned to the standby position in cooperation with the pusher. However, if the packaged item is particularly soft or light, the operation of completing the insertion of the packaged product by the pusher and first pulling the plate out of the packaging box and then pulling the pusher back is also possible. Shall be included.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an intermittent boxing device that can improve the reliability of insertion of a packaged item and an attachment into a packing box and can increase the number of insertions per unit time.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Here, first, an intermittent boxing device when an attachment is supplied vertically will be described.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual plan view of the intermittent boxing device of the present invention as viewed from above the line. FIG. 2 is a side view of the conceptual configuration of the intermittent boxing device of the present invention as viewed from the side of the line.

The intermittent boxing device 100 includes a pusher 101, an article transfer conveyor 102, an attachment insertion plate 103, an attachment S supplied by an attachment supply machine 104, and a packing box transfer conveyor 105. It has the structure arranged in order. In addition, the intermittent boxing device 100 has a control unit (not shown) that performs drive control of the pusher 101 and the attachment insert plate 103.

The pusher 101 performs a reciprocating motion that pushes the article to be packed G from the rear end in the insertion direction and pushes it into the packing box C, and pulls it back after the insertion is completed. Although the contact surface of the pusher 101 to the packaged product G is a flat plate, a flexible material such as felt may be appropriately attached in order to reduce an impact at the time of contact. The initial position (standby position) of the pusher 101 is outside the packaged article transfer conveyor 102, but the pusher 101 only performs a simple reciprocating motion, so that the pusher 101 has a simple configuration. Since the drive unit such as the endless belt 121 protrudes outside the line in the same way as the conventional device from the viewpoint of various adjustments and maintenance, the pusher 101 and its drive mechanism may increase the overall device. Absent.

The to-be-packed product transfer conveyor 102 transfers the to-be-packaged products G that are arranged and placed in the traveling direction of the endless belt 121 intermittently, that is, by repeatedly transferring and stopping. The packaged goods G transferred to the standby position of the pusher 101 are pushed out in the direction perpendicular to the transfer direction (insertion direction) when stopped. On the packaged goods transfer conveyor 102, partition plates 122 are erected on the left and right in the insertion direction on the endless belt 121, whereby the posture at the time of insertion of the packaged goods G is maintained.

Although not shown, there is a packaged product feeder upstream of the packaged product transfer conveyor 102, and the packaged products G are sequentially inserted into the partition plate 122 one by one. The product to be packed G is not necessarily a rectangular shape, but is generally placed so that the long side is oriented in the insertion direction as illustrated in accordance with the opening direction of the packing box C.

The attachment insertion plate 103 stands by between the attachment S supplied by the attachment supply machine 104 and the packed product transfer conveyor 102, and the transfer surface (endless) of the packed product transfer conveyor 102 and the packing box transfer conveyor 105. The plate is parallel to the upper surface of the belt and reciprocates in the insertion direction. The installation height is higher than the height of the packaged goods G and below the upper surface Cu of the packaging box C so that excessive loads or frictional forces are not applied to the packaged goods G, the attachment S, and the packaging box C. Set as appropriate.

Although the operation of the attachment insert plate 103 will be described later, the attachment insert S is bent by being abutted against the attachment S, so that the impact impact to the attachment S of the packaged goods G is not caused, or the buffering is performed. To do. Note that the friction coefficient of one surface of the attachment insert plate 103 may be increased so that the attachment S does not slip during insertion. For example, a rubber sheet may be attached.

The attachment feeder 104 supplies the attachment S in the vertical direction between the standby position of the attachment insertion plate 103 and the packaging box transfer conveyor 105. The attachment S is a strip having a short side that is shorter than the width W of the opening of the packaging box C and folded in a bellows shape. The attachment supply machine 104 sequentially supplies the attachment S so that the vicinity of the center of the attachment S shields the insertion path of the packaged goods G.

The packing box transfer conveyor 105 is provided adjacent to the packaged goods transfer conveyor 102, and the packing box C is sequentially transferred in synchronization with the intermittent driving. The packaging box C does not fold the flap Cf to accept the insertion of the article to be packed G, and the opposite side flap is glued and closed in a semi-boxed state from an upstream packaging box feeder not shown. Sequentially supplied.

In addition, the packaging box C is generally provided with a flap at a position where the surface having the smallest area among the six surfaces is formed. Therefore, like the packaged goods G, the packaging box C is placed with the long side oriented in the insertion direction. Further, the packaged goods G and the packaging box C are moved synchronously as a set so that they are always in a straight line. At the time of insertion, both conveyors are temporarily stopped. At this time, the reciprocating locus of the pusher 101, the packaged goods G, the attachment insert plate 103, and the packaging box C are arranged in a straight line. Thereby, when the article to be packed G is pushed by the pusher 101, the attachment S is wound in a U shape and inserted into the packing box C together.

In addition, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, you may make it prevent the escape to the insertion direction of the packaging box C by providing a restraining board in the packaging box transfer conveyor 105 suitably. The flap surface closed by pasting may be brought into contact with the stop plate in advance.

The controller inserts the attachment insert plate 103 into the packaging box C as it is after bending the attachment, and attaches the attachment insert plate 103 so that the tip of the attachment insert plate 103 is ahead of the tip of the packaged goods G for a predetermined time. The letter insertion plate 103 and the pusher 101 are driven and controlled. FIG. 3 shows an example of insertion control (for convenience of explanation, the flap Cf and the partition plate 122 are omitted, and the attached document is simplified). The pusher 101 is controlled to start driving at the moment when the packaged goods transfer conveyor 102 transfers the packaged goods G and stops, but the attachment insert plate 103 is in the middle of the transfer. You may make it begin to bend a bend.

Depending on the mode of use, drive control may be performed so that the front end of the attachment insert plate 103 always precedes the front end of the packaged goods G by a predetermined length until insertion is completed. This is particularly suitable when the packaged goods G are fragile.

Depending on the strength relationship between the product to be packed G and the attachment S, if the product to be packed G has some strength, the control unit controls the pusher 101 and inserts the front end of the product to be packed G in the insertion direction. The insert plate 103 may be brought into contact with the attachment S with the leading ends in the insertion direction substantially aligned, and the attachment and the packaged product may be inserted into the packing box as they are. At this time, control may be performed to insert the packaged product and the attachment with the attachment insert plate 103 and the pusher 101 at the same speed for a predetermined time. Since the tips are aligned, the attachment S is quickly formed into a U shape or a U shape, and slipping of the attachment S is less likely to occur.

In addition, if the control unit controls to pull out the attachment insert plate 103 from the packing box C before the insertion of the packaged goods G by the pusher 101, the stroke length can be further shortened, so that higher speed operation can be realized. Although the pusher 101 is pulled back to the outside of the packaged goods transfer conveyor 102, there is no obstacle after the insertion and no return is generated. That is, it is the driving of the attachment insert plate 103 that is rate limiting, and the stroke length can be shortened and speeded up, so that the number of boxes per unit time can be improved in the present invention. Become.

If the product to be packed G is soft, such as sponge or cotton, and applies internal pressure to the packing box C, after the insertion by the pusher 101 is completed, the attachment insert plate 103 is first pulled out, Thereafter, the pusher 101 may be controlled to be pulled back. Even in this case, since the rate limiting is the driving of the attachment insert plate 103, in the present invention having a short stroke length, it is possible to improve the number of boxes per unit time.

The intermittent boxing device 100 is provided with two rollers 107 in the immediate vicinity of the flap Cf, and assists the insertion of the attachment S by the attachment insertion plate 103. When the attachment S is thick, there is a possibility that when the attachment S is pushed into the packaging box C, it may be damaged if it directly hits the opening. By providing the roller 107, the smooth attachment S U-shape formation is performed and the packaging box C is also protected.

The intermittent boxing device 100 has the above-described configuration, and in the conventional intermittent boxing device, the attachment S is supplied between the packaged article transfer conveyor and the packing box transfer conveyor, and the attachment supply machine Therefore, paying attention to the fact that both conveyors are provided at a predetermined interval, and the attachment insert plate 103 is put on standby during this time, the stroke length can be made shorter than the attachment insert plate of the conventional apparatus. . By adopting this layout, it is possible to improve the high-speed operation, that is, increase the number of articles to be packed per unit time.

Further, since the attachment insert plate 103 employs simple reciprocating motion, the buffer avoidance operation with the partition plate of the conventional attachment insert plate is not required, and high speed operation is possible in this respect.

In addition, the conventional attachment insert plate needs to protrude the standby position (initial position) at least for the length of the plate from the packaged goods transfer conveyor, and the pullback amount is larger than the pusher, so the width of the device is reduced. However, this is not necessary in the intermittent boxing device 100 of the present invention, and the width of the device is not increased.

Further, since the attachment insert plate 103 only needs to perform a simple reciprocating motion, the drive mechanism can be simplified. From this point as well, for example, compared with a boxing device provided with a conventional buffer avoidance operation mechanism, The device configuration can be simplified and made compact.

As an example of the size of each part of the intermittent boxing device 100, the belt width of the packaged goods transfer conveyor 102 and the packing box transfer conveyor 105: 180 mm each, the gap between both conveyors: 200 mm, the long side of the packing box C Length (not including flap) 150 mm, plate length of attached sheet insertion plate 103 200 mm, thickness of pusher 101 10 mm, and gap between pusher 101 and packaged article transfer conveyor 102: 10 mm. In FIG. 1, although the space between the conveyors can be seen widely, even in the conventional apparatus, similar conveyor spaces can be obtained by the conveyor drive mechanism, the attachment supply device 104, the packaged product supply device, the packing box supply device, the floor installation legs, and the like. It has become. Even if it is unavoidable to make the distance between the conveyors larger than that of the conventional apparatus, it is possible to improve the number of articles to be packed per unit time by shortening the stroke length of the insert insert plate 103, which is rate limiting, as in the present invention. Realized.

Note that, depending on the mode of use, the attachment insert plate 103 does not enter the packaging box C, but only near the center of the attachment S and bend the gusset to reduce the impact of the packaged goods G. it can. In the state where the attachment S is straightly extended, there is no bending start point on any of the long sides, and the rigidity is the highest. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the collision impact only by piercing the attachment insert plate 103 and providing this starting point. In this case, the attachment insert plate 103 is not necessarily a plate.

In the above example, the aspect in which the attachment S is supplied vertically has been described. However, the aspect in which the attachment S is supplied horizontally as shown in FIG. In this case, if two attachment insertion plates 103 are provided on the left and right in the insertion direction as shown in the figure, the U-shape formation and the insertion reliability of the attachment S are further improved.

The intermittent boxing device can be used not only for packing medicines, but also for packing toys or personal computer parts with instructions.
