Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of packaging plants for bottles and/or containers in general for liquids.
  • the aim of the present invention is to guarantee a constant pressure on the separation system, normally having pegs or spacer elements, of the shrinkwrap machine that is responsible for dividing and spacing each bottle to form the desired groups.
  • a further aim of the system is to bring the packs to the palletiser and to allow the oven of the shrinkwrap machine to empty in the event of stoppage, so as to prevent the packs remaining inside the oven for too long from burning.
  • a further aim is to reduce the linear velocity of the output bottles from the labeller/filling machine in the smallest possible space without introducing instability in the bottles.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a plan view of an example of bottling line comprising, downstream of a labelling or filling machine, a packaging system object of the invention
  • FIG. 2 schematically illustrates the rotating carousel of the bottle dividing device according to a first embodiment

  • a bottling line comprising, upstream, a blowing and filling machine of known type and, downstream, in the end part of the line, possibly a labelling machine, followed by the packaging system according to the invention.
  • the packaging system comprises a pick-up device 2 to pick up filled, and possibly labelled, bottles from an upstream machine, a bottle dividing device comprising a multi-lane conveying belt 3 , provided with a connecting zone 12 with the labelling or filling machine 1 , a shrinkwrap machine 6 , a transport system 7 , at least one handle applicator 8 to apply the strip that acts as handle of the bundle and at least a palletiser 9 .
  • the pick-up device 2 comprises a dividing carousel that rotates according to a vertical axis arranged at the output, that is to say, downstream of the labelling or filling machine 1 and provided with a plurality of gripping means 13 , of a clamp type in the example, which performs the function of picking up bottles 11 and releasing them onto one of the plurality of lanes 14 of the connecting zone 12 of the dividing device.
  • a dividing carousel that rotates according to a vertical axis arranged at the output, that is to say, downstream of the labelling or filling machine 1 and provided with a plurality of gripping means 13 , of a clamp type in the example, which performs the function of picking up bottles 11 and releasing them onto one of the plurality of lanes 14 of the connecting zone 12 of the dividing device.
  • Nine lanes are shown in the example of FIG. 2 , of which eight are transport lanes and one a discard lane, each formed by flexible chain belts.
  • the connecting zone 12 with the multi-lane conveying belt 3 is formed by a series of a circular arc segments that are joined together so as to define a flexible chain belt with continuous surface having a spiral progression.
  • Spiral progression means a progression with a curvature radius that increases in the advancement direction.
  • Three segments 12 A, 12 B, 12 C, are shown in the example of FIG. 4 , each substantially defining an arc of a circle of about 90°.
  • Each segment is equipped with a fixed number of lanes 14 greater than the upstream segment in the bottle advancement direction.
  • the first segment 12 A has three lanes 14
  • the second segment 12 B has six lanes 14
  • the third segment 12 C has nine lanes 14 , equal in number to the lanes of the conveying belt 3 located downstream.
  • the segments are aligned with each other on the outer perimeter, so that the outer lane 14 of the first segment 12 A is also the outer lane 14 of the second and third segment 12 B and 12 C.
  • the lanes 14 of the connecting zone 12 arranged with a spiral progression, and the rotating carousel 2 , which has the gripping means 13 that are movable along a grip circumference C, are reciprocally arranged so that each lane 14 that forms the belt of the connecting zone 12 , is located underneath the rotating carousel 2 , so that the release takes place at the desired point corresponding with the intersection X of the grip circumference C, as better illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3 .
  • the release of the bottles 11 by the rotating carousel 2 takes place at positions distributed equidistant along an arc of the grip circumference C of angle ⁇ greater than 90° and preferably between 180°-240° and directly on a different lane 14 of the connecting zone 12 underlying the point of release.
  • the bottles 11 are released by the rotating carousel 2 , not along a single lane, but already along lanes 14 of the connecting zone 12 which are arranged side by side to each other.
  • the release takes place along an arc of a circle of substantially 240° in discrete spaced positions of about 30°.
  • the connecting zone 12 comprises eight transport lanes 14 separated from each other by a lamina 21 .
  • the release of the bottles 11 by the rotating carousel 2 takes place at positions of intersection with the grip circumference C distributed equidistant along an arc of angle ⁇ equal to about 240°.
  • each of the gripping means 13 of the rotating carousel 2 comprises a thrust linear actuator 22 that pushes the gripping means 13 radially outward against a cam control.
  • the radial return movement is instead controlled by the cam profile itself.
  • the reciprocating movement in the radial direction of the gripping means 13 occurs between an extracted position corresponding to the opening of said gripping means 13 and a retracted position corresponding to the closure of said gripping means 13 .
  • a cam 23 is associated with each lane 14 of the connecting zone 12 ; the cams 23 are distributed on two superimposed discs 24 .
  • a service cam 23 ′ along the angular section that does not cooperate with the connecting zone maintains the gripping means in the extracted and open position until the bottle 11 is picked up by the rotating carousel 2 of the filling/labelling machine.
  • the release step of the bottle onto the lane 14 of the connecting zone 12 is progressively carried out along an end section, having an inclined profile, of the cam 23 to accompany the bottle 11 in the spiral trajectory of the lane 14 .
  • FIGS. 9-15 shows the picking up of a bottle 11 transported by a carousel of a filling or labelling machine 1 and the release thereof onto the predetermined lane 14 of the connecting zone 12 .
  • FIG. 9 shows the approach step of a gripping means 13 in the advanced open position towards the bottle 11 to be picked up.
  • the gripping means 13 tighten around the bottle and progressively radially retract ( FIG. 10 ).
  • the gripping means 13 are maintained in this position during rotation of the carousel 2 ( FIG. 11 ) until the cam 23 associated with the preselected lane 14 , in the example, the third lane 14 from the outside, is reached.
  • the gripping means are progressively pushed by the piston 22 towards the outside and guided by the inclined inlet end section of the cam 23 ( FIG. 12 ), progressively opening ( FIG. 13 ) until the bottle 11 is released on the lane 14 in proximity of the bottom of the cam 23 ( FIG. 14 ) and then recalled by the output end section of the cam 23 in a backward closed position ( FIG. 15 ).
  • the division carousels 2 described for the present invention adapted to release the bottles 11 , not along a single lane but already along lanes 14 arranged side by side to each other, could also constitute an autonomous device combined with the use of timing screws.
  • the shrinkwrap machine 6 is an automatic or manual packaging machine suitable for grouping the bottles with a thermoshrinkable film.
  • the transport system 7 with dynamic accumulation is preferably of the counting type and without bundled packs guides.
  • the handle applicator 8 i.e. an apparatus for applying the strip, generally of paper, which acts as the handle of the bundle, is installed in the represented example on the dynamic transport system 7 and precisely at the inlet of the belt of the palletiser 9 . Indeed, one or more palletisers 9 are placed in line with possible pack orienting means 10 .
  • the illustrated example is indicative and it is clear that in addition to the above-mentioned components, further machines suitable for specific purposes may be present without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
  • the above-mentioned components may also be replaced with equivalent components or in part altogether omitted, as in the aforementioned case of the labeller. Where present, the labeller incorporates a label presence checking device.
  • the shrinkwrap machine may be replaced by a different packaging machine, such as a cartoning machine.
  • the transport system 7 will be a simple transport without accumulation functions, the oven and the relevant critical issues not being present in the event of stoppage.
  • each lane of the eight transport lanes of the multi-lane conveying belt 3 transport lanes indicated by the reference 4
  • Each of said sections 4 A, 4 B, 4 C has a motor 5 A, 5 B, 5 C that is electronically controlled by counting to keep a constant thrust on to the bottle division system of the downstream shrinkwrap machine.
  • the sections 4 A, 4 B, 4 C of each lane 4 are rectilinear and their arrangement is such as to allow the lateral deviation of the bottles 11 between one section and the other and to allow the scheduled slowdown along the line, as can clearly be seen in the drawings.
  • the ends of two consecutive sections are laterally adjacent.
  • a discard lane, where present, is indicated by 4 ′.
  • a second preferred embodiment of the conveying multi-lane belt 3 according to the invention provides for the presence, along each transport lane 4 , of at least three, in the example four, modular sections 4 ′A, 4 ′B, 4 ′C, 4 ′D, each equipped with its own motor 5 ′A, 5 ′B, 5 ′C, 5 ′D, wherein each section has a lesser speed with respect to the upstream section and is constituted by a group of conveying belts, each controlled by its own motor 5 ′A, 5 ′B, 5 ′C, 5 ′D, arranged in oblique direction with respect to the advancement direction of the multi-lane conveying belt 3 .
  • the gripping means 13 of the rotating carousel 2 will unload the output bottles according to a predefined program, that is to say, depending on the scheme of work of the packaging machine 6 .
  • the bottles 11 are subject to the centrifugal force and the contact/friction of the chain on which the bottles 11 rest.
  • the provision of a transport system 7 with dynamic accumulation associated with the packaging system allows the packs to be brought to the palletiser 9 and allows the shrinkwrap machine oven (oven, which as known, implements the thermoshrinking) to empty in the event of stoppage. On the contrary, if the packs should remain therein for too long they would be damaged.
  • the dynamic accumulation transport system 7 consists of a plurality of belts 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 without guides on which the packs 10 rest.
  • the series of belts 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 are arranged head-adjacent, namely, along their short side.
  • Each belt 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 has an independent motorisation so as to be able to govern, through a central, even computerised, control system, the space between one pack and the next, which will obviously be a function of the speed of the belts sequentially mounted in the advancement direction.
  • the packs are brought closer without touching each other, slowing down the successive belt; whereas in normal conditions they are spaced as they leave the shrinkwrap machine.
  • the advantage is that the packs can thus be brought closer without creating impacts between the same.
  • the belt indicated by 20 is the one that acts as a metering device for the palletiser and the handle applicator 8 can be applied to said belt 20 .
  • An encoder and a checking and counting photocell are mounted on each belt. Thus the packs are kept under control throughout the path from the shrinkwrap machine to the palletiser, as number and position.
  • FIGS. 7 a - 7 d show different operating configurations of the transport system 7 with dynamic accumulation object of the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 a shows normal operating conditions
  • FIGS. 7 b and 7 c show operation in the emptying mode of the oven of the shrinkwrap machine 6 according to two successive stages
  • FIG. 7 d shows operation in stoppage conditions of the palletiser 9 .
  • the described components are directly connected to each other without interposition of accumulation transports to constitute a single monobloc unit, equipped with a single centralised control (electrical panel, user interface), thus simplifying the management of the system.
