Definitions

  • An object of the invention is to provide a carton turning mechanism for use with a flightless or a flighted conveyor carrying cartons possibly at random intervals, and with use of which turning of cartons is effected with minimised deviation of the cartons from a straight path.
  • FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a diagram illustrating the principle involved in any carton turning mechanism in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figure 7 is an underneath plan of the lug
  • a guide track 31 on the plate 27 underlies the lugs 21 alongside the forwarding run of the conveyor 32 which carries the cartons 33 to be turned in readiness for ploughing down and sealing end flaps 33X of their lids, which guide track co ⁇ operates with features on the undersides of the lugs to constrain each lug in an advanced position in which it will project into the path of the nearside leading corner of a carton or to constrain it in a retracted position in which it will not so project.
  • the conveyor 32 carrying the cartons 33 is ' a roller conveyor the rollers 56, 57 of which are in two groups or conveyor portions 32A, 32B.
  • the upstream group of portion 32A (which consists of seven rollers 56) is driven at a fixed speed by a friction drive 58 (see Figure 10) from a cross- shaft 59 driven by a motor 60 (see Figure 11) through a gearbox 61 and gear-belt drives 62, 63.
  • the motor 60 also drives the shaft 45 carrying the sprocket 39 through gearing (not shown) providing for the slightly lesser speed of the endless driven member as compared with the roller conveyor portion 32A.

Abstract

Mécanisme servant à faire tourner des boîtes en carton et devant s'associer à un transporteur (B) pour boîtes (E). Il comporte un élément entraîné sans fin (A) situé dans un plan parallèle à la partie avançante du transporteur (B), une partie d'avance (C) de l'élément entraîné (A) étant située le long de la partie avançante du transporteur; un dispositif assurant l'entraînement dudit élément entraîné de telle sorte que sa partie d'avance suive la même direction que la partie avançante du transporteur, mais que sa vitesse soit légèrement inférieure à celle de ladite partie avançante; et une série de talons (D) portés par l'élément entraîné (A) et adaptés pour faire saillie à partir de la partie d'avance de ce dernier et pour se placer sur la trajectoire des boîtes (E) situées sur le transporteur (B). Ainsi, un talon (D1) fixé à la partie d'avance de l'élément entraîné entre en prise avec le coin antérieur proche d'une boîte (E1) et provoque une rotation de celle-ci autour dudit talon puisque la vitesse du transporteur (B) et celle de l'élément entraîné diffèrent. La partie d'avance (C) de l'élément entraîné est guidée de telle sorte qu'elle soit courbée en direction de la partie de retour de manière à permettre un certain déplacement dans le sens latéral du coin d'une boîte (E2) butant contre un talon (D) à mesure que ladite boîte tourne autour de son centre de gravité, lequel avance sur le transporteur (B) en suivant une ligne sensiblement droite (H). Le degré de courbure est tel que le centre de gravité (G) de chaque boîte (E) ne se déplace pas dans le sens latéral contraire au-delà de la ligne (J) suivie par le centre de gravité après l'achèvement de la rotation.
