Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a high speed stacking machine for bundling,

The present invention relates to a high-speed stacking device for bundling packaging, which collects a plurality of articles to which a film is applied as a packaging material and bundles the bundles so as to be suitable for bundling.

Since the film material has good waterproof property and does not stretch well, it has been conventionally employed in packaging various articles. For example, film materials are used not only for single pieces of confectionery such as cookies and pies but also for bundle wrapping which packs a plurality of individually packaged articles.

Conventionally, in the case of bundling an article packaged with a film material, the articles supplied individually are counted and collected in a predetermined quantity and are dependent on a system which is transferred to a subsequent packing process.

In the apparatus shown in FIG. 2 of the patent document 1 proposed by the present applicant as a typical bundle packing facility, a packaged object to be supplied manually or automatically is adsorbed by a vacuum pick-up device of a delta robot and transferred to a conveying conveyor In the second patent document 2, one piece of packaging material supplied through a conveyor is stored in a space defined by the array conveyor and transported. When the picking-up unit transfers the piece of packaging material to the bundle packing machine And a plurality of pieces of packages stored while the lower gate is opened at a suitable time in the hopper are transported to the bundle conveyor at one time and supplied to the subsequent bundle packing machine.

The method of picking up and transporting the individual packages from the bundle package of the film-wrapped article to the vacuum pick-up device is as follows. The vacuum pick-up device is moved to the pick-up position by pick-up position-drop-pickup-up-transport-down-vacuum release- There is a structural limitation in increasing the bundle volume per hour because there is no continuity in the supply of individual packages because they operate along the route of transport.

For this reason, conventionally, the effect of increasing the bundle packing amount can be expected through expansion of the vacuum pick-up apparatus.

In addition, when the bundled packages are aligned vertically, the posture becomes unstable and may collapse during transport. Therefore, the bundled packages can be applied to articles stacked on two layers like confectionery, It is preferable that the articles are vertically stacked and transferred in a stacked state.

In the above-described configuration, it is preferable that the pads of the paddle conveyor extend laterally from the connecting bars through the bent portions so as not to interfere with the barricades during traveling.

In addition, in the high-speed stacking apparatus for bundling according to the present invention, the guard is disposed around the feeding wheel so that the bundle package moving through the groove is not released to the outside.

Further, in the fast stacking apparatus for bundling packing according to the present invention, the fingers of the one-directional gate group are rotatably supported at the upper end of the vertical axis, and the elastic force of the spring is applied to one side thereof so that the fingers of the one- .

The present invention with the above-described configuration is a high-speed stacking device for bundling packaging in which a plurality of bundled packages are stacked so as to be suitable for bundle packaging, and the bundled packages are transferred to a bundle packaging machine in a bundled state in such a state that bundled packages are continuously fed on a conveyor, And the bundle package is transported in the orthogonal direction by a pad of the paddle conveyor so as to be fitted to the groove of the feeding wheel. The bundle package is vertically rotated by the rotation of the feeding wheel, Unlike the system employing the conventional vacuum pick-up means, the supply of the bundle packages can be continued without interruption, so that the high-speed operation can be performed. Further, 90 degree posture conversion, and when it reaches a certain quantity, the attaching conveyor Since the takeover of the song as a bundle packaging machine has the advantages that can greatly increase the hourly Bundle Pack quantity.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail as a preferred embodiment with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Fig. 1, the high-speed stacking device for bundling according to the present invention comprises a feed conveyor 2, a pitching conveyor 4, a conveying conveyor 6 provided with a barricade 60 at its end, A single feed conveyor 8 having a plurality of trackers 80 on its surface and a paddle conveyor 10, a feeding wheel 12, a plurality of unidirectional gate groups 14 arranged along the periphery, A collecting conveyor 18, and a guide 20 arranged at predetermined positions so as to form a plurality of collecting chambers.

The feeding conveyor 2 conveys and supplies the normal bundle of packages B continuously to a certain point as shown in Fig. 2 and the pitching conveyor 4 is arranged so that the upper conveyor 40 and the lower conveyor 42 face each other And is arranged so as to be viewed,

When the supply conveyor 2 pushes one bundle of packages B and pushes them into the inlet between the upper conveyor 40 and the lower conveyor 42, a sensor (not shown) captures the bundle package B to the upper conveyor 40 Thereby driving the lower conveyor 42 once.

The upper conveyor 40 and the lower conveyor 42 driven by the signal of the sensor travel one time at a high speed and the bundle package B therebetween is injected to the rear end side to be supplied onto the conveying conveyor 6, .

The conveying conveyor 6 receives the bundle package B fed individually through the pitching conveyor 4 while traveling at a constant speed and transports the bundle package B at a low speed.

On the other hand, the single feed conveyor 8 disposed inside the conveying conveyor 6 travels at a higher speed, so that the tracker 80 equally distributed on the surface propels the bundle package B, .

In this embodiment, since the single feed conveyor 8 is arranged shorter than the conveying conveyor 6, the bundle package B at the end of the single feed conveyor 8 is transferred again to the conveying conveyor 6 and conveyed to the end It is caught by the barricade 60 and is conveyed until it stops.

When the bundle package B is stopped by the barricade 60 at the end of the conveying conveyor 6, a sensor (not shown) senses this and the paddle conveyor 10 travels 1/3 by the sensor operation at this time.

3, the paddle conveyor 10 has three connecting bars 100 arranged at regular intervals along a conveyor, and the connecting bar 100 has bent portions 102 at its free ends The pad 104 moves while the bundle package B moves in the orthogonal direction while avoiding the barricade 60 so as to move the feeding wheel 12 in the odd- .

The feeding wheel 12 is provided with a groove 120 on its outer periphery so that the bundle packages B carried by the pad 104 can be received one by one.

The rotation of the feeding wheel 12 is synchronized with the operation of the paddle conveyor 10 to move the bundle package B by 1/4 stepping rotation when one bundle package B is inserted into the groove 120 And the next empty groove 120 is positioned.

5, a plurality of unidirectional gate groups 14 arranged at the rear end side of the feeding wheel 12 are rotatably supported at the upper end of the vertical shaft 142, For example, the bundle package B is always pulled in the opposite direction to the direction in which the bundle package B is moved, so that the channel is always closed.

 The unidirectional gate group 14 arranged in this way pushes the fingers 140 when the bundle package B fed on the feeding wheel 12 is pushed forward to pass through while being resistant to the spring 144, The finger 140 returns to the restoring force of the spring 144 to support the back surface of the bundle package B.

6 to 9 illustrate a process in which the paddle conveyor 10 is redirected and fed by the feeding wheel 12 individually to the attachable conveyor 16 to be transferred to a bundle-packable state.

)

번들포장물의 수로 제한해야 할 필요가 있다.6, the bundle package B, which is pushed by the pad 104 of the paddle conveyor 10 and moves in the orthogonal direction, is fitted in the groove 120 of the feeding wheel 12, The running speed of the attaching conveyor 16 is adjusted by the stepping rotation speed of the feeding wheel 12 (1 / the number of grooves 120)

)

There is a need to limit the number of bundled packages.

To explain the reason, a desired number of bundle packages B must be accommodated in the intervals defined by the partition walls 160 disposed on the attachment conveyor 16, so that each time one bundle package B is supplied This is because the attaching conveyor 16 has to travel only a distance corresponding to one thickness of the bundled package B.

A guard 122 may be provided around the feeding wheel 12. The guard 122 rotates the feeding wheel 12 so that the bundle wrapping material B is fed to the attaching conveyor 12, The bundle wrapping material B prevents the bundle wrapping material B from being separated from the groove 120 in the process before the bundle wrapping material B is transferred to the bundle wrapping material 16, B) as a signal source.

The process of feeding the bundle package B to the attachment conveyor 16 by repeating the rotation of the feeding wheel 12 as described above is repeated so that the last bundle package B satisfying the bundled packaging quantity is transferred to the attachment conveyor 16 16, the partition 160 of the attaching conveyor 16 comes to a position close to the bundle package B as shown in FIG. 8, and a new bundle package B) begins to be accepted.

When the feeding wheel 12 rotates without stopping in this state, the position of the groove 120 is lower than the upper surface of the attaching conveyor 16 as shown in FIG. 9, so that the bundle package B comes out of the attaching conveyor 16, The transfer position is maintained by the outer peripheral surface of the feeding wheel 12 and is supported by the moving partition wall 160 by the continuous running of the attachment conveyor 16 .

Through this operation, the bundle package B continues to travel while being accommodated so as to be superimposed over the partition walls 160 of the attachment conveyor 16, and is conveyed to the lower side of the collection conveyor 18 shown in Fig.

The collection conveyor 18 starts running when the rear partition wall 160 of the partition wall 160 accommodating the bundle package B is transported downward so that the whole of the bundle package B is entirely taken out of the guide 20 And then bundled with a conventional bundle wrapping machine (not shown).

In the above-described embodiment, the pitching conveyor 4 and the single feed conveyor 8, the paddle conveyor 10, the feeding wheel 12, and the attaching conveyor 16 are controlled by a control technique widely used in this field, It is needless to say that the servomotor, which can be controlled by the processing apparatus, is driven by the power source so that the respective running speeds can be controlled so that the organic operation is performed at a high speed with respect to each other.

As described above, according to the present invention, bundled packages are arranged in a plurality of overlapping states, and the bundled packages are conveyed to a bundle packing machine as they are and are bundled. The bundle packages continuously fed on a conveyor are redirected to pads of a paddle conveyor, And the bundle packages are positioned by being moved by the rotation of the feeding wheel and are supplied one by one to the attaching conveyor so as to be accommodated in a bundle packed state. Therefore, unlike the conventional method using the vacuum pick-up unit, It is a device for realizing high speed alignment of the bundle packages for bundle packaging.

The fast stacking apparatus for bundling according to the present invention is characterized in that bundling packages, which are mainly used for foods such as noodles, which are packed in a film, are supplied to a bundling apparatus for bundling, a stacking unit for stacking the bundles to be fed individually It is possible to perform a high-speed operation, and the efficiency of the bundle packaging can be greatly improved.
