  • the apparatus shown in Figure 1 is similar in most respects to that shown in our co-pending PCT Patent Application No. GB94/01511.
  • the apparatus comprises a sequence of wheel conveyors around which a multitude of transport holders are conveyed in a closed cycle.
  • Each transport holder receives a carton blank at the commencement of its cycle of movement around the apparatus and as the transport holder with its carton blank moves through the apparatus the carton blank is subjected to bottom sealing, filling and top sealing operations before being removed from its transport holder and taken out of the apparatus as a filled package.
  • the present invention is concerned with the loading of the carton blanks into the first of the wheel conveyors. Accordingly, the operation of the apparatus shown in Figure 1 will not be described here in detail.
  • the general scheme of operation of the apparatus however is as follows.
  • the flattened carton blanks are loaded on to a first conveyor wheel 28 having twenty (or sixteen in an alternative embodiment not shown) stations each of which contains a transport holder 30 described in detail below. Each transport holder is held in a recess at its station on the wheel 28 by a respective magnet.
  • each blank is opened from a flattened to an opened tubular form by a mechanism described in detail hereaf er with reference to Figures 6 to 9.
  • Wheel 28 runs tangentially alongside a second wheel 32 also having twenty (or sixteen in the alternative embodiment 20) stations.
  • each transport holder 30 comes into the nip between the two wheels 28 and 32, it is transferred to the wheel 32.
  • Each station on wheel 32 has a magnet for retaining a transport holder 30 similar in strength to the magnet in the corresponding station of wheel 28.
  • the magnet of wheel 28 is retracted by a cam leaving the transport holder held on the magnet of wheel 32.
  • the bottom of the carton blank is sealed so as to form a bottom sealed package with an open top.
  • the transport holders are then transferred to a third wheel 34 of thirty stations by a similar magnetic transfer operation to that described above.
  • the cartons are filled with contents, suitably liquid contents.
  • the transport holders are transferred to a twenty (or sixteen in the alternative embodiment) station wheel 36 and from there to a twenty (or sixteen in the alternative embodiment) station wheel 38.
  • a top seal is formed closing the cartons.
  • the transport holders are then transferred by a similar magnetic transfer operation to a twelve (or in the alternative embodiment twenty) station wheel 40.
  • they are discharged downwardly out of their transport holders on to a suitable conveyor 42 and the transport holders themselves are transferred by a magnetic transfer operation back on to the first wheel 28 where they are ready to receive a fresh carton blank.
  • the mechanism 26 for unloading blanks from the magazine and loading them into the transport holders 30 comprises a dog-chain 44 running around sprockets 46, 48 and having at spaced intervals protruding dogs 50 positioned to catch the rear edge of a folded blank in the magazine mouth and to displace the blank sideways out of the magazine mouth through a metering aperture into the nip of a pair of rollers 52, 54.
  • Roller 52 is a driven roller and roller 54 is an idler. Before the rear edge of each blank passes out of the nip of the rollers 52, 54, the leading edge comes into the nip of the next pair of rollers constituted by a driven roller 56 described in detail hereafter and an idler roller 58.
  • each transport holder comprises a generally c-shaped top plate 60 having an opening 62, a similarly shaped bottom plate 64, and front and rear connecting bars 66, 68 which connect the top plates 60 and the bottom plates 64.
  • the connecting bars 66, 68 are made of magnetically attractable material such as steel.
  • Rollers 56, 58 are shown in detail in Figure 4.
  • Roller 56 is driven by an oversize sprocket 70 which is sized deliberately smaller than the size appropriate to drive the periphery of the roller 56 at just the right speed to bring each blank into each transport holder 30 as the wheel 28 rotates away from the roller 56.
  • Sprocket 70 is splined to a shaft 72 carrying a height adjustable collar 74 which serves to compress a helical coil spring 76 against a thrust washer 78 which bears against a felt pad 80 which in turn rubs against the bottom of a bobbin 82 which is supported on but is free to rotate with respect to the shaft 72.
  • roller 56 is mounted for rotation in bearings 90 held in the framework of the apparatus.
  • Roller 58 is constituted by two roller units 92, 94 each mounted for rotation on a respective stub axle 96, 98 mounted to the framework of the apparatus.
  • the motion of the blank will be slowed to the speed dictated by the speed of rotation of the wheel 28.
  • the felt pads 80, 84 above and below the bobbin 82 of roller 56 allow the bobbin 82 to commence slipping with respect to the shaft 72.
  • the bobbin 82 has low inertia and therefore rapidly regains the speed of the shaft 72 once the blank has been carried out of the nip of the rollers 56, 58 by rotation of the wheel 28.
  • the chain 44 is driven in synchrony with the wheel 28 so as to separate each blank from the stack at the exact time appropriate to feeding the blank into the transport holder 30 which receives it.
  • the excess speed is compensated for by slipping of the felt pads once the blank is in the transport holder.
  • Each station of the wheel 28 comprises a magnet holding the transport holder 30 and comprises a first suction head 102 and a second suction head 104 connected to controlled vacuum lines.
  • Each of the first and second suction heads 102, 104 is mounted for movement to produce opening of the blank.
  • First suction head 102 is connected to an arm 106 which is mounted for linear movement by linear bearings 108. This linear movement is guided by a cam follower 110 which is moved to produce the desired movement of the first suction head 102. This movement is controlled by a fixed cam 112 which has a number of generally circular cam tracks 114, 116 and 118 which deviate from a true circular path to produce the required movement of their respective cam followers as described below.
  • Cam follower 110 is situated in track 114 on the upper surface of the circular plate 112 which remains stationary while the wheel 28 rotates.
  • the second suction head 104 is mounted on an arm 120 which pivots about an axis defined by a shaft 122 at which it is provided with a gear pinion 124 meshing with a larger pinion 126 which is provided at a pivot axis defined by a shaft 128 of an arm 130 pivoted at one end at the shaft 128 and bearing a cam follower 132 at its opposite free end.
  • Cam follower 132 runs in cam track 118 of the stationary cam plate 112.
  • the cam plate 112 guides the cam follower 132 to produce rotation of the pinion 126 which in turn provides rotation of the pinion 124 and hence rotation through a larger angle of rotation of the arm 120 bearing the second suction head 104.
  • the cam tracks 114 and 118 are so shaped however that before the suction heads are moved apart as described above, they are first in a separated condition to allow a blank to feed in between them. They are then moved together to seat them on opposite sides of the blank and then they are moved apart as described.
  • the cycle is shown in Figure 9.
  • the linear bearings 108 and the shafts 112 and 128 are all mounted to a top plate 136 of the wheel 28 which rotates above the cam plate 112.
  • a carton blank is injected into the cavity 62 of the transport holder 30 in flattened form and abuts against the radially inner rear leading corner of the cavity 62 as shown in Figure 9. It is grasped by the first suction head 102.
  • the second suction head 104 is brought in under the influence of its cam follower 132 to grasp the opposite face of the flattened blank.
  • the blank receiving pockets constituted by transport holders 30 of the conveyor constituted by wheel 28 need not be detachable from the wheel 28 but can be fixed parts of the wheel 28 from which the erected carton blanks are removed by other means.
  • the slipping provided by the felt pads 80, 84 could alternatively be provided between the drive member (driven roller 56) and the blank, e.g. by arranging for the drive member to contact the blank only lightly.
  • the blanks could be driven by a variable speed drive such as a stepper motor time to slow to the appropriate extent as each blank reaches its fully home position in its respective pocket.

Abstract

Un appareil pour placer des ébauches en carton sur une machine de conditionnement comprend une réserve d'approvisionnement (20) contenant un empilement d'ébauches ayant la forme de tubes aplatis (22), une chaîne métallique (44) entraînant les ébauches hors de la réserve et vers la ligne de contact de deux cylindres (52, 54) et ensuite vers des cylindres (56, 58) tournant plus rapidement, qui accélèrent les ébauches en les dirigeant vers des poches respectives (67) formées dans des supports de transport (30) portés par un transporteur à galets. On entraîne les ébauches à une vitesse suffisante pour les amener vers leurs poches respectives qui s'éloignent de la réserve d'approvisionnement sur le transporteur à galets. Un accouplement à friction dans la commande du cylindre (56) permet aux ébauches de décélérer pour ne pas être abîmées au moment de leur entrée dans les poches. Des bras portant des ventouses et se déplaçant avec le transporteur à galets ouvrent les ébauches dans les poches et on transporte les ébauches ouvertes dans leurs supports de transport à l'aide de transporteurs à galets pour procéder aux opérations de fermeture du fond, de remplissage et de fermeture du haut.
