Description

Side feeding style automatic package method suitable for bar type goods and the same cartoner

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for packaging an article, and more particularly, to a side supply type automatic packaging method and a cartoner suitable for a bar type article having a configuration capable of collectively packaging a plurality of elongated articles.

Items automatically packaged in paper boxes use a device called a cartoner.

In the cartoner, the paper box should be designed according to the shape of the packaged goods, but since the items accommodated here are usually packaged inside, there is no particular difficulty in designing the paper box.

By the way, the paper box used in the case where the packaged goods are of long appearance and a large number of such packages need to be packaged requires a special design.

Patent Document 1 shows an example of a paper box in which a large amount of gum is stored as an article having an elongated appearance, and the illustrated paper box sandwiches a box in which a bar-shaped gum is neatly inserted into an open passage in both directions of the body. The put configuration is started.

The packaging method has a disadvantage that the paper box is not two parts can be packaged collectively.

As a paper box for collectively packing a stick-shaped gum, a recently developed method is a top and bottom flap (B2) and a left and right flap (B4) and (B5) around the housing portion in which the gum is accommodated, as shown in FIG. This extended structure is provided, and these flaps B2 to B5 are placed in the center storage portion in the unfolded state without being bonded to each other, and the left and right flaps B4 and B5 and the lower flap B3 are placed. The contents are packaged in a wrap around style that is folded in the order of the upper flap B2 and simultaneously bonded to each other to form a box.

In this packaging method, since the paper box is formed of a single member, a large number of bar-type articles can be packaged in a very efficient manner.

However, the wrap-around packaging is completely different from the generalized cartoner in terms of operation principle and structure, so the whole device must be newly designed, which increases the manufacturing cost, lengthens the manufacturing time, and increases the accuracy of the device. The manual assembly of the device is also difficult, and there are many technical difficulties.

Close the bottom flap and lid of the box (B) in which the article storage portion 12 and the bar-type article group G are accommodated. The box sealing portion 14, which is sealed to be sealed, the second sealing means 16 for applying the hot melt to the outer side where the lower flap is folded in the box sealing portion 14, and causing the upper flap to be adhesively sealed, the box sealing portion 14 And a collection part 18 for collecting the sealed box B arranged so as to be continuous with each other, each of which has a base 20 extended from the one side of the article receiving part 2 to the recovery part 18. Are arranged accordingly.

According to the above-described configuration, in the cartoner according to the present invention, when the bar type article group G, which is supplied in a pre-aligned manner, is delivered to the article receiving section 2, the article transport section 4 conveys it, while the box supply section ( 6) separates the folded box (B) separately and provides it to the box conveying unit (8), which unfolds the folded box (B) and at the same time the upper and lower flaps (B2) and (B3) and the left and right flaps ( B4) (B5) is opened, with all the flaps open, the first pasting means 10 applies hot melt to the lower inner circumferential surface of the box B, and the applied hot melt is applied to the article storage portion. In (12), the bar-type article group G inserted and stored in the box B is bonded to be preserved.

Next, the box B in which the bar-type article group G is stored is passed through the box sealing portion 14 so that the upper and lower flaps B2 and B3 and the left and right flaps B4 and B5 are closed. The second pasting means 16 applies a hot melt outward at the position where the lower flap B4 is closed so that the upper flap B5 closed thereon is bonded to the lower flap B4 so that the bottom of the box B Is completely sealed.

On the other hand, the lid B1 of the box B is guided to close gradually while passing through the article storage portion 12 and the box sealing portion 14 to be completely sealed, and the box B thus sealed is a recovery portion ( Collected in 18).

The article receiving part 2 which takes over the bar type goods group G mentioned above shows the structure in FIG. 3 in detail.

In FIG. 3, a floor 22 is provided inside the base 20, and one side of the floor 22 forms a gap 26 between the base 20 and the bar-type article group B. The attachment 24 for conveyance moves to the posture extended upward of the floor 22 through the clearance 26.

Attachment 24 is a plurality of equally arranged on the chain 30 is driven indefinitely by the sprocket 28 disposed inwardly of the base 20, the top surface of the base 20 by piggybacking on the chain 30 Repeatedly move along.

In addition, the base 20 has a supply passage 32 for receiving a bar-type article group G on one side, and the bar-type article group G guided through the supply passage 32 is previously. They are ordered and supplied in a form suitable for batch packaging.

The article receiving section 2 includes a stopper 34 which prevents the bar-type article group G supplied from being stopped at a predetermined point on the floor 22, and a crosspiece 36 supporting the bar-type article group G upwardly. And a pair of side plates 38 for guiding the bar-type article group G to prevent them from being displaced laterally, and a lifting cylinder 39 for adjusting the height of the crosspiece 36.

4A to 4C are side views illustrating the operation relationship of the above-described article receiving unit 2, and in FIG. 4A, the lifting cylinder 39 is lowered so that the crosspiece 36 is placed in the lower position. When detecting that G) has entered the supply passage 32, the elevating cylinder 39 moves up in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4A to position the crossbar 36 in an upright position. It is guided to the floor 22 while being guided to the side plate 38 without being disturbed as shown.

When it is detected that the bar-type article group G guided to the floor 22 stops in contact with the stopper 34, the lifting cylinder 39 moves downward in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 4B to lower the crossbar 38. Accordingly, the crossbar 38 is lightly pressed by pressing the upper surface of the bar-type article group (G) as shown in Figure 4c to rearrange the alignment state. Subsequently, the attachment 24 travels to push the rearranged bar-type article group G, so that the bar-type article group G is turned over to the article transfer section 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the article transport unit 4 is composed of a first upper guide 40 and a second upper guide 42. The first upper guide 40 and the second upper guide 42 are structurally formed. It is the same as the same.

FIG. 5 shows a detailed structure of the first upper guide 40 of the article transporter 4. The first upper guide 40 has a guide block 44 positioned above the floor 22 of the base 20. The bar type article group G described above includes the floor 22 and the guide block ( It is propelled by the attachment 24 between 44).

The second upper guide 42 also has the same configuration as the first upper guide 40, but the outlet side of the second upper guide 42 is formed by cutting in a diagonal direction so that the friction force with the bar-type article group G is achieved. In order to reduce this, the bar-type article group G is not disturbed when the course is changed.

In addition, the first upper guide 40 is suspended through the adjuster 52 on the arm 50 which is rotatably connected to one of the upper shafts 48 of the fixing bracket 46 provided on the outside of the base 20. As a result, when it is detected that the quantity of the bar-type article group G is underdelivered inside the first upper guide 40 and the operation of the apparatus is stopped, the arm 50 is operated to be opened and opened. The bar type article group G can be supplemented.

However, the second upper guide 42 is arranged in a built-in form and cannot be opened.

In the first upper guide 40, the quantity of the bar-type article group G is not checked through the sensor.

That is, the sensor 58 which consists of the light emitting element 54 and the light receiving element 56 is arrange | positioned inside the 1st upper guide 40 as shown in FIG.

The sensor 58 outputs an electric signal as light incident on the light receiving element 56 when the light of the light emitting element 54 is reflected on the floor 22.

In practice, the sensor 58 is arranged in the same number as the quantity of the bar type article group G to be conveyed, and the light of the light emitting element 54 is refracted by the bar type article group G passing thereunder. The quantity of the bar-type article group G is counted by checking that the electric signal changes as the amount of light incident on the light-receiving element 56 decreases, and when the number result is less than the determined quantity, the electric signal. In this case, the site manager stops the operation of the entire apparatus and opens the first upper guide 40 with the arm 50 to recover the bar-type article group G which is under quantity. Action may be taken to restart.

In addition, the sensor 58 may be a contact sensitive method using a micro switch or a reed switch in addition to the non-contact sensitive method by light.

Referring to FIG. 7, the box supply part 6 is disposed on the side of the first upper guide 40.

The box supply part 6 is a chute 60 for arranging a single box of the folded box B in a single drawable state, and a plurality of pickups for pulling out one folded box B from the chute 60 with vacuum suction force. And a carton feeder 66 having a disk 64 in which a plurality of these pickups 62 are arranged in a circle.

The carton feeder 66 has the same structure as a conventionally known carton feeder, and when the disk 64 rotates, a plurality of pickups 62 arranged in a horizontally arranged circle rotate and each pickup 62 simultaneously with this idle operation. ) Is rotated.

The pickup 62 rides on the rotational operation of the disc 64, and the pick-up 62 passes through the end of the chute 60. On passing, the pick-up 62 rotates the sucker as a result of the rotation. It comes in close contact with the folded box (B) placed in the vacuum, and then a vacuum is applied to one of the folded box (B) is attached to the sucker of the pickup 62 is taken out, so that the folded box (B) is drawn out of the box transfer portion (8) Guided by).

The box conveying part 8 is comprised with the deployment guide 80 and the box conveyor 82 which guide | induce the unfolded box B drawn out to the said pickup 62 to unfold.

8 illustrates a process in which the folded box B is unfolded by the cooperation of the deployment guide 80 and the box conveyor 82.

An inclined surface 84 is formed at the inlet side of the deployment guide 80, and the box conveyor 82 is basically a belt conveyor or a chain conveyor, and the walls 86 are equally arranged in a width corresponding to the unfolded length of the box B. It is equipped with many.

The front part of the folded box B vacuum-sucked by the pickup 62 is in contact with the inclined surface 84 of the deployment guide 80 in the lowered position, and at this point the pickup 62 pivots upward while releasing the vacuum. At the same time the folded box (B) is guided over the box conveyor (82).

When the folded box B is guided over the box conveyor 82, its front part is in contact with or directed to the inclined surface 84, and in this state, the opposite end part is driven by a box conveyor ( Propulsion starts by being caught by the wall 86 of 82.

When the end of the folded box (B) is propelled by the wall (86), the opposite front portion temporarily stops on the inclined surface (84) and unfolds slowly and descends slowly, and the box (B) unfolded by the continuous delivery of the inclined surface (84). ) Is finally pushed down and is transported on the bottom of the deployment guide 80 with the bottom sandwiched between the front and back walls 86 and seated.

As such, the traveling speed of the box conveyor 82 which takes over and transports the folded box B in the pickup 62 is set to be the same as the traveling speed of the attachment 24 described above, and the bar type article group G in a subsequent process. ) Can be stored in the box (B) without a hitch.

When the box B unfolded along the deployment guide 80 is conveyed in the box conveying section 8, the upper and lower flaps B2 and B3 and the left and right flaps B4 and B5 at the bottom thereof are folded boxes. Since the same horizontally extending form is maintained, these flaps should be folded at right angles so as not to interfere with the storage of the bar type article group G.

In the present invention, various types of guides are arranged to the side of the deployment guide 80 so that the top and bottom flaps B2 and B3 and the left and right flaps B4 and B5 are folded during the transfer of the box B. FIG.

FIG. 9A shows an example of a separation guide 88 disposed at the beginning of the deployment guide 80 so as to pass between the upper and lower flaps B2 and B3 so that the gap is clearly divided up and down. The vertical guide 90 for opening is arranged next to the division guide 88 and guides the upper flap B2 and folds it up.

What is necessary is just to arrange the said heat | fever vertical guide 90 in the up-down direction with respect to the lower flap B3.

Compared to the upper and lower flaps B2 and B3 described above, the left flap B4 and the right flap B5 have different folding directions, and thus there is a problem that they cannot be easily folded.

In this invention, in order to fold the left flap B4, as shown in FIG. 9C, the heat | fever rotation bar 94 directly connected to the motor 92 is arrange | positioned below the box conveyor 82. As shown in FIG.

In the above-described structure, when the box B has been conveyed to the upper side of the hot rotary bar 94, the hot rotary bar 94 is rotated by the operation of the motor 92 to rotate the left flap B4 to the box conveyor ( It is opened in the direction of travel of 82).

As described above, after the left flap B4 is folded and opened, the right flap B5 is folded and opened.

The right flap B5 is folded by the hot rotating disk 96 arranged on the side of the deployment guide 80.

The rotary disk 96 for hot air has a notch 98 formed by cutting a part of the outer circumference, and the left flap B4 waits in a stationary state at the position where the notch 98 faces the deployment guide 80. When the box B is opened and the right side flap B5 comes to a position where the notch 98 can be placed inside the notch 98, the right side flap B5 is folded and opened by rotating with a motor or the like.

The left and right flaps B2 and B3 and the upper and lower flaps B4 and B5 of the box B must be the division guide 88, the vertical guide 90, the rotation bar 94, and the rotation disk 96 of the above-described configuration. Of course, it is not only open by folding, but can also be opened by means of other structures.

At the end of the box transfer section 8, a first paste means 10 is provided.

As shown in FIG. 10, the first pasting means 10 includes a hot melt hose 100 for supplying a hot melt, connected to the compression means 102, and opened and closed by an electrical signal on one side of the compression means 102. The nozzle 104 is attached, the electron nozzle 104 is arranged to direct the bottom of the box (B) carried along between the deployment guide 80 and the box conveyor (82).

The electronic nozzle 104 detects when the box B has been transported forward and operates to open and close temporarily. As a result of this operation, the hot melt pressurized by the compression means 102 is applied to the electronic nozzle 104. At the moment of opening, spraying is done by spraying inside the bottom of the box (B) placed in front.

The box B with hot melt painted inside the bottom portion is turned over to the article storage unit 12.

As shown in FIG. 11, the article storage part 12 is arranged in parallel with the attachment 24 and the box conveyor 82 at a position continuous to the second upper guide 42 and the first paste means 10. And a lid guide 122 extending upwardly from the box conveyor 82 and a pushing conveyor 120 that travels infinitely at the same speed.

The pushing conveyor 120 is a facility generalized in an automatic paper box packing machine, and in the present invention, as in the prior art, a plurality of loading rods 124, which are stretched and contracted in length, are arranged indefinitely, and the end of the loading rods 124 is terminated. It has a structure with a stepper 126 attached to take the bar-type article group (G) from the attachment 24 and pushes it into the box (B), the cam rod (128) while the rod 124 is infinite running ) And expands and contracts toward the box conveyor 82 by pushing the bar-type article group G carried by the attachment 24 into the inside of the box B loaded on the box conveyor 82. The operating relationship is also made in the same manner as a conventional pushing conveyor.

The box sealing portion 14 continuous to the article storage portion 12 folds the upper and lower flaps B2 and B3 and the left and right flaps B4 and B5 of the box B in which the bar-type article group G is accommodated. Capture the closing.

To this end, the box sealing portion 14 is provided with a closing disk 140 and a closing guide 142 to the side of the box conveyor 82 in FIG.

The closing rotation disk 140 has the same structure as the above-described opening rotation disk 96, but the direction of rotation is reversed. In addition, since the right flap B5 is folded and closed by the closing rotating disk 140, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in Fig. 12, the left flap B3 is simply closed while being caught by the closing guide 142 when the box B proceeds.

On the other hand, the open upper flap B2 and the lower flap B3 can be closed by the vertical guide shown in Fig. 9B, except that the lower flap B3 is first closed in the box sealing portion 14 and the second pasting means 16 is applied. After the hot melt is sprayed outward while passing through the upper flap B2, the folded flap is closed by the hot melt, except that the upper flap B2 is closed.

The second pasting means 16 also has the same configuration as the first pasting means 10 described above.

Through the above-described process, the bar-type article group G is accommodated, and the lid B1 is also moved while the lid B1 is folded while the upper and lower flaps B2 and B3 and the left and right flaps B4 and B5 are folded. 122), and closes the box (B).

In this way, the bar type article group G is accommodated and all the flaps are closed and the sealed box B is picked up by the collection | recovery part 18.

In the present invention, the recovery unit 18 does not require a special structure, the interval that the box (B) can be fitted in the arrangement interval of the vertical conveyor 180 running in pairs to face each other as shown in Figure 13 Arranged in this manner, both vertical conveyors 180 are driven in the same direction so that the sealed box B is continuously collected.

In the above-described embodiment, the cartoner shows an example suitable for packing the bar-type article group G in one row, but in some cases, two lines of packaging may be required depending on the type of the article.

The two-line package of the bar-type article group G is arranged in two rows with the bar-type article group G, which is supplied in one row from the article receiver 2, with the attachment 24 traveling along the floor 22. If the bar-type article group (G) is supplied twice when the supply is repeated twice, the attachment 24 is to take over the bar-type article group (G) delivered to the stopper 34, the attachment It is necessary to halve the arrangement quantity of (24) by 1/2 so that the interval is extended by 1 times, and the height of the first and second upper guides 40 and 42 arranged on the floor 22 is also 2 rows. It should be adjusted to be high to guide and pass through the bar-type article group (G) of the box, the size of the box (B) and the deployment guide (80), and the placement height of the cam profile (128) for closing the lid (B1) The back should also be newly adjusted.

The above-described adjustment of the article receiving portion 2, the first and second upper guides 40 and 42, the box B, the deployment guide 80 and the cam profile 128 can be made very difficult. The adjustment of the attachment 24 reduces the number of arrangements of the attachments 24 adjusted to carry one row of bar-type article groups G by half so that the attachments 24 come into contact with the bar-type article groups G. This can be easily adjusted by doubling the time at which the transfer is initiated.

However, such adjustments are such that the cartoner is confined to one-line packaging or two-line packaging.

14A and 14B allow the arrangement interval of the attachments 24 to be converted in the cartoner according to the present invention, so that one line of bar-type article group conveyance or two lines of bar-type article group conveyance can be carried out with one device. A structure that can be selectively used is shown, in which the characteristic elements are alternately arranged in the chain 30 such that the variable attachment 240 is positioned after the attachment 24 described above.

The attachment 24 is fixedly attached to the chain 30 so that the posture does not vary, but the variable attachment 240 is installed to pivot about a portion connected to the chain 30, and the variable attachment 240 is There is a difference in the configuration in which the end portion extends obliquely into the chain 30 to form the linkage arm 242.

The linkage arm 242 is attitude-controlled by the lifting support plate 244 disposed inside the chain 30. Specifically, when the lifting support plate 244 is positioned at a solid line in FIG. 14A, the variable attachment 240 is positioned. Since the variable attachment 240 is placed below the linkage arm 242 and cannot interfere, the variable attachment 240 travels under the floor 22 as it is inverted on the chain 30, and as a result, the attachment The arrangement interval of (24) is doubled to convey two rows of bar-type article groups G.

In addition, when the operator moves the position of the lifting base plate 244 to the one-dot chain line position in FIG. 14A, the linkage arm 242 of the variable attachment 240 is supported by the lifting base plate 244 while traveling, thereby changing the opposite side. In the example in which the attachment 240 rotates and is positioned above the floor 22, and as the traveling continues in this state, the arrangement interval of the attachments 24 conveys the bar-shaped article group G of the two lines. Compared to 1/2, the bar-type group of items (G) can be transported.

As described above, if the configuration shown in Fig. 14 is adopted, the bar type article group G can be packaged by selecting one line or two lines with one device.
