Abstract

PURPOSE: To effect an accurate encasement for packaged articles. CONSTITUTION: Shutters 3-1 and 3-2, capable of moving rightward and leftward for opening while moving vertically, are arranged under a suction plate 1 for sucking articles to be encased. The articles to be encased, arranged on an arranging plate 2 placed off to the lower right of the suction plate 1, are moved to a position above the shuters 3-1 and 3-2 by operation of a push-out device 6. Then, the arranging plate 2 with the articles mounted thereon is elevated and the articles thereon are sucked and held with the suction plate 1. Then, the shutters 3-1 and 3-2 are opened toward the right and the left. After that, a container lifter 4 is raised, then lowered with the articles taken from the suction plate 1. With the above-mentioned operations repeated, the articles are encased in a specified number of tiers in a container 5.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for adsorbing an article such as a package with a suction disc and packing the articles in an aligned state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a device for arranging and packing a predetermined number of packages in a box, a predetermined number of packages to be boxed are adsorbed by a suction plate, transferred to the box, and then stacked in the box for packing. There is a way to do it. In such a boxing device, since the suction cup that has adsorbed the items to be packed is moved up and down or moved laterally, the items may be displaced or dropped from the suction cup.In that case, the packing operation must be redone. Since the work is complicated and time-consuming, it causes a loss in the boxing process and may hinder the upstream packaging process and the like.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above-described lack of color found in a conventional boxing apparatus using a suction plate for sucking articles to be boxed, the present invention has a reliable and quick operation. It is an object of the present invention to provide a simple boxing device.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems in a boxing apparatus using a suction plate for sucking articles to be boxed, the present invention arranges a predetermined number of articles to be boxed on a plane. Plate, a shutter that is composed of two plates and can move up and down at the same time, and that can be opened and closed left and right,
Extruding means for pushing out a predetermined number of items arranged on the aligning plate onto the shutter, a suction plate for sucking the items on the shutter, and container lifting means for vertically moving a container for packing toward the suction plate. A boxing device having

In the apparatus of the present invention, the suction plate is stationary without moving, and when the shutter rises, it sucks an item on it, and in the shutter, the suction plate sucks the item. After that, the container lifting means is configured to be opened to the right and left, and the container lifting means is configured to ascend to the position of the suction cup when the shutter is opened, receive the article, and descend.

In the apparatus according to the present invention, as the mechanism for opening and closing the shutter to the left and right, the pushing means for pushing the article onto the shutter, and the container lifting means for moving the container up and down, those having a known mechanism are appropriately adopted. Good.

[0007]

In the boxing device of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure,
The articles that are aligned on the alignment plate and then pushed out on the shutter are sucked and held by the suction disk while being lifted by the shutter and aligned.

After that, the shutter is opened to the left and right, and the container lifting means passes between the opened shutters to lift the container to the position of the suction plate so that the product held by the suction plate is received in the container. Then descend

In the apparatus according to the present invention, since the suction plate is thus left stationary and the articles can be boxed without moving up and down, the state in which the articles to be boxed are sucked and held as in the conventional apparatus. It is possible to pack the product quickly and accurately without the situation that the suction plate moves to drop the absorbed product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A detailed description will be given below with reference to an embodiment shown in FIGS. FIG.
FIG. 1 is a side view conceptually showing only a main part of a boxing device according to the present invention, and 1 is a suction plate for sucking and holding items to be packed in a box, and the suction plate is stationary. Does not move.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an alignment plate on which the articles to be packed, which are continuously fed from the right side of the figure, are sequentially aligned. The alignment plate 2 is arranged diagonally below the suction plate 1.

Reference numerals 3-1 and 3-2 denote shutters arranged below the suction plate 1. The shutters 3-1 and 3-2
3-2 is configured to be movable up and down and to be opened and closed left and right. Below the shutters 3-1 and 3-2, there is a container lifting means 4 having a piston, a cylinder, etc. for placing and lifting a container. A container 5 is placed on the container lifting means 4.

Numeral 6 is an extruding means for extruding articles to be packed, which are arranged on the aligning plate 2 by a predetermined number, onto the shutters 3-1 and 3-2, and can be appropriately reciprocated by a piston / cylinder mechanism or the like. It is configured.

The device according to the illustrated embodiment has the mechanism described above and operates as described below. FIG. 1 shows a predetermined number of items 7 to be packed on the alignment plate 2, for example,
It shows a state in which a total of 9 packaged items are arranged in three rows and three columns.

When a predetermined number of products are aligned on the alignment plate 2 in this way, the product 7 on the alignment plate 2 is pushed out onto the shutters 3-1 and 3-2 by the pushing means 6. This state is shown in FIG.

When the item 7 is moved onto the shutters 3-1 and 3-2, the shutters 3-1 and 3-2 are displaced upward, and the item placed on the shutters 3-1 and 3-2. The 7 is held in the aligned state by being sucked onto the suction plate 1. The state is shown in FIG. Next, the shutters 3-1 and 3-2 are lowered and returned to their original positions, and then opened to the left and right. FIG. 4 shows the state.

After that, the container 5 is lifted by the container lifting means 4, and the suction plate 1 which sucks and holds the product 7 is put into the container 5 together with the product to release the suction force of the suction plate 1. The articles 7 are placed in the container 5 apart from the suction cup 1. This is shown in FIG.

After that, the container lifting means 4 is lowered to its original position, and the shutters 3-1 and 3-2 are closed. In this way, the first-stage goods are put in the container 5, and the apparatus itself is in the state shown in FIG. During the above boxing operation, the articles to be boxed in the next stage are sent onto the aligning plate 2 and sequentially arranged, and the above-described operation is repeated. In this way, according to the apparatus of this embodiment, it is possible to pack the articles in the container by using the fixed suction cup.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been specifically described above with reference to the drawings, the device of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment and various modifications may be made. Needless to say. For example, in the above-described embodiment, a case has been described in which nine items are stacked in three stages and packed in a box, but the number may be appropriate.

[0020]

As described above, in the boxing apparatus according to the present invention, it is possible to accurately pack the product to be packed in the container without displacing the suction plate that has sucked the product to be packed. Since it does not fall off the board, it can be boxed extremely quickly. Further, the device of the present invention is provided with a simple mechanism of simply reciprocating the shutter and the container lifting means, and can be an inexpensive and long-life device.
