Abstract

The invention concerns a packaging machine for sealing a cover foil strip (30; 30a) onto a plastics web (11; 11a) which comprises cups (12). The packaging machine comprises a roller arrangement (20; 40) which plastically deforms the plastics web (11; 11a) according to the distances (a) between the cups. The packaging machine can be adapted particularly easily to modified foil parameters or machine tolerances by means of the roller arrangement (20; 40). It is also possible to further process a cooled foil web (11; 11a) located in the packaging machine after pauses in production.

Description

VERPACKUNGSMASCHINE ZUM AUFSIEGELN EINER DECKFOLIENBAHN AUF EINE NÄPFE AUF¬ WEISENDE KUNSTSTOFFBAHNPACKING MACHINE FOR SEALING A COVER FILM ON A BOWL PLASTIC PLASTIC
Stand der TechnikState of the art
Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Verpackungsmaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Bei der Bearbeitung einer Näpfe aufweisenden und mit einer Deckfolie versiegelten Folienbahn können insbesondere zwei Probleme auftreten: zum einen kommt es zu nicht mittig geprägten, perforierten bzw. gestanzten Verpackungsstreifen, was sich bsw. in zerdrückten Näpfen oder Tabletten äußert. Zum anderen kann ein Versatz zwischen der Folienbahn und der Deckfolie bestehen, so daß Druckbilder der Deckfolie nicht mehr positionsgerecht auf der Folienbahn erscheinen. Diese beiden Probleme sind insbesondere durch VorzugsSchwankungen der Folienbahn infolge von Maschinentoleranzen, Schrumpfen der Folienbahn durch Abkühlen entlang ihres Förderwegs, geänderte Foliengeometrie nach dem Wiederanlaufen nach einer Produktionspause oder sich ändernde Folienparameter, beispielsweise bei Verwendung einer Folie mit anderem Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten, bedingt.The invention is based on a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1. When processing a film web having cups and sealed with a cover film, two problems can arise in particular: on the one hand, there are non-centrally embossed, perforated or punched packaging strips, which, for example . expressed in crushed bowls or tablets. On the other hand, there can be an offset between the film web and the cover film, so that printed images of the cover film no longer appear in the correct position on the film web. Both of these problems are due in particular to preferred fluctuations in the film web as a result of machine tolerances, shrinkage of the film web by cooling along its conveying path, changed film geometry after restarting after a break in production or changing film parameters, for example when using a film with a different coefficient of thermal expansion.
Bezüglich der nicht mittig geprägten, perforierten bzw. gestanzten Verpackungsstreifen ist es bekannt, zum Ausgleich der VorzugsSchwankungen der Folienbahn eine zusätzliche, napforientierte Transportwalze vorzusehen, die beispielsweise unmittelbar vor der Prägeeinrichtung bzw. Perforiereinrichtung angeordnet ist. Weiterhin ist es möglich, mittels einer Messung der Napfabstände dieWith regard to the non-centrally embossed, perforated or punched packaging strips, it is known to provide an additional nap-oriented transport roller to compensate for the preferred fluctuations of the film web, which is arranged, for example, directly in front of the embossing device or perforating device. It is also possible to measure the
Vorschubeinrichtungen der Folienbahn entsprechend zu regeln. Beide Lösungen führen jedoch zu einem Mehraufwand der Verpackungsmaschine und benötigen zusätzlichen Einbauraum.To regulate feed devices of the film web accordingly. However, both solutions result in additional work for the packaging machine and require additional installation space.
Um den Versatz zwischen der Deckfolie und der Folienbahn zu vermeiden ist es weiterhin aus der DE 39 12 054 AI bekannt, den Vorzug der Folienbahn in einen Regelkreis dem Abstand der Deckbilder anzupassen. Bei der DE-41 22 903 AI hingegen werden Deckfolie und Folienbahn zusammen vor dem Siegeln der Deckfolie gezielt erwärmt, so daß es durch die unterschiedlichen Wärmeausdehnungskoeffizienten von Deckfolie und Folienbahn zu einem entsprechenden Ausgleich des Versatzes kommt. Auch diese beiden Lösungen führen zu einem Mehraufwand an der Verpackungsmaschine und vermeiden unter Umständen bsw. nicht das außermittige Prägen an einer nachgeordneten Prägestation.In order to avoid the offset between the cover film and the film web, it is also known from DE 39 12 054 AI, the preference of the film web in a control loop the distance to adapt the cover images. In DE-41 22 903 AI, on the other hand, the cover film and film web are specifically heated together before the cover film is sealed, so that the different thermal expansion coefficients of the cover film and film web compensate for the offset accordingly. These two solutions also lead to additional work on the packaging machine and, under certain circumstances, can avoid. not off-center stamping at a downstream stamping station.
Außerdem ist allen bekannten Vorrichtungen gemeinsam, daß der nach einer Produktionspause in der Verpackungsmaschine zwischen der Formstation für die Näpfe und der Siegelstation befindliche, abgekühlte Folienbahnabschnitt nicht, oder nur mit zusätzlichen Aufwand weiterbearbeitet werden kann. Dies deshalb, weil die Napfabstände nach dem Abkühlen der Folienbahn an den jeweiligen Bearbeitungsstationen gegenüber dem kontinuierlichen Normalbetrieb verkürzt sind.In addition, all known devices have in common that the cooled film web section located after a production break in the packaging machine between the forming station for the cups and the sealing station cannot be processed, or can only be processed further. This is because the cup spacing after the film web has cooled down is reduced at the respective processing stations compared to continuous normal operation.

Die erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsmaschine mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 hat demgegenüber den Vorteil, daß unabhängig von der Vorschubgeschwindigkeit der Folienbahn oder nach Produktionspausen die Abstände der Näpfe und die Lage der Folienbahn zur Deckfolie an der Siegelstation und nachgeordneten Bearbeitungsstationen stets konstant sind. Dadurch kann nach einer Produktionspause eine bereits abgekühlte Folienbahn weiterbearbeitet werden, wodurch Abfall vermieden wird. Vorteilhaft ist außerdem, daß die Regelung der Napfabstände sehr rasch erfolgt, was insbesondere nach einer Produktionspause von Vorteil ist. Weiterhin können Folienmaterialien mit verschiedenen Materialeigenschaf en ohne langwierige Einstellungen an der Verpackungsmaschine verarbeitet werden. Weitere Vorteile und vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen und der Beschreibung. Ein besonders einfacher Aufbau der Vorrichtung läßt sich erzielen, wenn die Siegelwalze selbst kraftbeaufschlagt und als Walzeinrichtung ausgebildet ist.The packaging machine according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that regardless of the feed speed of the film web or after production breaks, the spacing of the wells and the position of the film web to the cover film at the sealing station and downstream processing stations are always constant. This means that an already cooled film web can be processed further after a production break, thereby avoiding waste. It is also advantageous that the regulation of the cup spacing takes place very quickly, which is particularly advantageous after a production break. Furthermore, film materials with different material properties can be processed without lengthy settings on the packaging machine. Further advantages and advantageous further developments result from the subclaims and the description. A particularly simple construction of the device can be achieved if the sealing roller itself is acted upon by force and is designed as a roller device.

Zwei Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung sind in der Zeichnung dargestellt und werden in der nachfolgenden Beschreibung näher erläutert. Es zeigen Figur 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Verpackungsmaschine in einer vereinfachten Seitenansicht und die Figur 2 einen Teil der Verpackungsmaschine nach Figur 1 in abgewandelter Form ebenfalls in vereinfachter Seitenansicht.Two embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing and are explained in more detail in the following description. FIG. 1 shows a packaging machine according to the invention in a simplified side view, and FIG. 2 shows part of the packaging machine according to FIG. 1 in a modified form, likewise in a simplified side view.
Beschreibung der AusführungsbeispieleDescription of the embodiments
Die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Verpackungsmaschine hat eine Formstation 10, die in eine endlose Kunststoffbahn 11 aus thermoplastischem Material Näpfe 12 einformt. Die Kunststoffbahn 11 ist auf einer Vorratsrolle 1 bevorratet und wird bsw. mittels Abzugsrollen 2, 3 der Formstation 10 zugeführt. Mittels einer Dosiereinrichtung 15 werden Gegenstände, insbesondere Tabletten 16, Kapseln, Dragees o.a., in die Näpfe 12 der Bahn 11 abgegeben. Der Dosiereinrichtung 15 nachgeordnet ist eine erste bsw. optisch arbeitende Meßeinrichtung 18 zur Erfassung der Napfabstände a von in Förderrichtung nacheinander geförderten Näpfen 12. Die Meßeinrichtung 18 ist mit derThe packaging machine shown in FIG. 1 has a molding station 10 which molds cups 12 into an endless plastic web 11 made of thermoplastic material. The plastic sheet 11 is stored on a supply roll 1 and is bsw. by means of take-off rolls 2, 3 of the forming station 10. Objects, in particular tablets 16, capsules, dragees or the like, are dispensed into the wells 12 of the web 11 by means of a metering device 15. Downstream of the metering device 15 is a first bsw. optically operating measuring device 18 for detecting the cup spacing a of wells 12 successively conveyed in the conveying direction. The measuring device 18 is connected to the
Steuereinrichtung 19 der Verpackungsmaschine gekoppelt. An die Meßeinrichtung 18 schließt sich in Förderrichtung der Bahn 11 eine kombinierte Walz- und Siegeleinrichtung 20 an. Die Walz- und Siegeleinrichtung 20 hat eine Siegelwalze 21, in der der Form der Näpfe 12 angepaßte Ausnehmungen 22 ausgebildet sind. Dabei ist die Größe der Ausnehmungen 22 etwas größer als die Größe der Näpfe 12. Die Siegelwalze 21 wirkt mit einer Heizwalze 23 zusammen, deren Temperatur auf ein bestimmtes, konstantes Niveau eingeregelt ist. Die Heizwalze 23 ist über einen Hebel 24 zum Beispiel mit der Kolbenstange 26 eines Stellzylinders 27 verbunden. Die Kolbenstange 26 wirkt mit einer Kraft F auf den Hebel 24, der somit die Heizwalze 23 gegen die Siegelwalze 21 drückt. Die von dem Stellzylinder 27 erzeugte Kraft F ist abhängig von den Napfabständen a, wobei die Steuereinrichtung 20 den Stellzylinder 27 entsprechend ansteuert.Control device 19 of the packaging machine coupled. A combined rolling and sealing device 20 connects to the measuring device 18 in the conveying direction of the web 11. The rolling and sealing device 20 has a sealing roller 21, in which recesses 22 adapted to the shape of the cups 12 are formed. The size of the recesses 22 is somewhat larger than the size of the cups 12. The sealing roller 21 interacts with a heating roller 23, the temperature of which is adjusted to a certain, constant level. The heating roller 23 is connected via a lever 24 to the piston rod 26 of an actuating cylinder 27, for example. The piston rod 26 acts with a force F on the lever 24, which thus presses the heating roller 23 against the sealing roller 21. The force F generated by the actuating cylinder 27 is dependent on the cup spacing a, the control device 20 actuating the actuating cylinder 27 accordingly.
Zwischen der Siegelwalze 21 und der Heizwalze 23 ist neben der Bahn 11 noch eine Deckfolienbahn 30 angeordnet. Zur Erkennung der Deckbilder ist bsw. vor der Heizwalze 23 ein Druckmarkensensor 37 angeordnet. An die Siegel- 21 und Heizwalze 23 schließen sich eine Transportwalze 34 und eine kombinierte Präge-, Perforier- und Ausstanzeinrichtung 35 an, wobei vor der Transportwalze 34 eine zweite Meßeinrichtung 38 zur Erkennung der Lage der Druckmarke angeordnet sein kann. Diese Einrichtung 35 trennt von der Bahn 11 Verpackungsstreifen 36 ab, die bsw. jeweils die Breite von zwei Napfreihen aufweisen.Between the sealing roller 21 and the heating roller 23, a cover film web 30 is arranged in addition to the web 11. To recognize the cover images, A print mark sensor 37 is arranged in front of the heating roller 23. The sealing roller 21 and heating roller 23 are followed by a transport roller 34 and a combined embossing, perforating and punching device 35, it being possible for a second measuring device 38 to be arranged in front of the transport roller 34 to detect the position of the print mark. This device 35 separates from the web 11 packaging strips 36, the bsw. each have the width of two rows of naps.
Die oben beschriebene Verpackungsmaschine arbeitet wie folgt: im Normalbetrieb der Verpackungsmaschine gelangen die Näpfe 12 mit bekannter Fördergeschwindigkeit bzw. Förderzeit von der Formstation 10 zur Siegelwalze 21 und von dort zur Präge-, Perforier- und Ausstanzeinrichtung 35. Das bedeutet, daß sich die Napfabstände a während des Förderweges der Bahn 11 in bekannter Weise durch Schrumpfung infolge Abkühlung in bzw. nach der Formstation 10 längs und quer zurThe packaging machine described above works as follows: in normal operation of the packaging machine, the cups 12 arrive at the known conveying speed or conveying time from the forming station 10 to the sealing roller 21 and from there to the embossing, perforating and punching device 35. This means that the cup spacing a during the conveying path of the web 11 in a known manner by shrinkage due to cooling in or after the forming station 10 along and across
Erstreckungsrichtung der Bahn 11 verkürzen. In diesem Fall genügt es, die Heizwalze 23 lediglich mit solch einer Kraft F gegen die Siegelwalze 21 anzudrücken, daß die Deckfolienbahn 30 auf die Oberseite der Bahn 11 aufgesiegelt wird. Kommt es hingegen bsw. zu einem Produktionstopp der Verpackungsmaschine, so kühlt die Bahn 11 innerhalb der Verpackungsmaschine gegenüber dem Normalbetrieb stärker, eventuell sogar vollständig ab. Das bedeutet, daß die Napfabstände a an der Siegelwalze 21 und der Präge-, Perforier- und Stanzeinrichtung 35 gegenüber dem Normalbetrieb geringer sind. Infolgedessen kann es beim Aufsiegeln der Deckfolienbahn 30 zu einem Versatz dieser mit der Bahn 11 kommen, so daß die Druckbilder der Deckfolienbahn 30 nicht mehr positionsgerecht auf der Bahn 11 erscheinen. Weiterhin kann es durch die geringeren Napfabstände a in der Präge-, Perforier- und Ausstanzeinrichtung 35 zu fehlerhaft geprägten oder beschädigten Packungsstreifen 36 kommen. Sobald nun beim Wiederanlaufen der Verpackungsmaschine durch dieShorten the direction of extension of the web 11. In this case, it is sufficient to press the heating roller 23 against the sealing roller 21 only with such a force F that the cover film web 30 is sealed onto the top of the web 11. On the other hand, it happens. If the packaging machine stops production, the web 11 cools more, possibly even completely, within the packaging machine compared to normal operation. This means that the cup distances a on the sealing roller 21 and the embossing, perforating and punching device 35 are smaller than in normal operation. As a result, when the cover film web 30 is sealed, it can be offset with the web 11, so that the printed images of the cover film web 30 no longer appear in the correct position on the web 11. Furthermore, the smaller cup spacings a in the embossing, perforating and punching device 35 can result in incorrectly embossed or damaged packing strips 36. As soon as the packaging machine is restarted by the
Meßeinrichtungen 18, 38 die geringeren Napfabstände a erfasst werden, erzeugt der Stellzylinder 27 aufgrund des Meßsignals der Meßeinrichtungen 18, 38 und einer entsprechenden Ansteuerung der Steuereinrichtung 19 eine erhöhte Kraft F. Der Zusammenhang zwischen der Kraft F, den Dicken D und d der Bahn 11 sowie den Napfabständen a wurde bsw. in Meßreihen ermittelt, so daß in der Steuereinrichtung 19 in Abhängigkeit von den Napfabständen a eine zugeordnete Kraft F ermittelt wird, die zu den gewünschten Sollnapfabständen a führt. Diese Abstände a können über die Meßeinrichtung 38 erfasst werden. Die Kraft F wirkt über den Hebel 24 auf die Heizwalze 23, so daß die zwischen Heiz- 23 und Siegelwalze 21 befindliche Bahn 11 plastisch verformt wird. Demgegenüber wird die Deckfolienbahn 30 nicht oder nur in sehr geringem Umfang verformt. Die Verformung der Bahn 11 bewirkt, daß sich die ursprüngliche Dicke D der Bahn 11 auf die Dicke d reduziert und gleichzeitig die Bahn 11 gelängt wird (Anmerkung: Dicken d und D der besseren Erkennbarkeit in den Figuren nicht maßstäblich dargestellt) . Mit der Dickenreduzierung geht somit gleichzeitig eine Vergrößerung der Napfabstände a auf das gewünschte Sollmaß einher. Dieses Sollmaß entspricht den Napfabständen a beim normalem, nicht unterbrochenem Betrieb der Verpackungsmaschine. Infolgedessen kann die gesamte abgekühlte Bahn 11, die sich zwischen der Formstation 10 und der Siegel- 21 und Heizwalze 23 befindet, weiterverarbeitet werden. Bei den üblichen Größenverhältnissen derartiger Verpackungsmaschinen kann diese Folienbahnlänge einige Meter betragen.Measuring devices 18, 38 the smaller cup distances a are detected, the actuating cylinder 27 generates an increased force F on the basis of the measuring signal of the measuring devices 18, 38 and a corresponding control of the control device 19. The relationship between the force F, the thicknesses D and d of the web 11 and the bowl spacing a was bsw. determined in series of measurements, so that an assigned force F is determined in the control device 19 as a function of the cup spacing a, which leads to the desired target cup spacing a. These distances a can be detected via the measuring device 38. The force F acts on the heating roller 23 via the lever 24, so that the web 11 located between the heating roller 23 and the sealing roller 21 is plastically deformed. In contrast, the cover film web 30 is not or only to a very small extent deformed. The deformation of the web 11 has the effect that the original thickness D of the web 11 is reduced to the thickness d and at the same time the web 11 is elongated (note: thicknesses d and D are not shown to scale in the figures for better visibility). The reduction in thickness is accompanied by an increase in the bowl spacing a to the desired target size. This nominal dimension does not correspond to the cup spacing a in normal interrupted operation of the packaging machine. As a result, the entire cooled web 11, which is located between the forming station 10 and the sealing roller 21 and heating roller 23, can be processed further. With the usual proportions of such packaging machines, this length of film web can be a few meters.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Heizwalze 23 schon während des Normalbetriebs der Verpackungsmaschine mit einer derartig hohen Kraft F beaufschlagt wird, daß die Bahn 11 geringfügig plastisch verformt wird. Das bedeutet, daß die Napfabstände a nach der Heizwalze 23 um ein bestimmtes Maß vergrößert sind. In diesem Fall sind selbstverständlich nachgeordnete Einrichtungen, wie die Präge-, Perforier- und Ausstanzeinrichtung 35 den geänderten geometrischenIt is particularly advantageous if the heating roller 23 is subjected to such a high force F during normal operation of the packaging machine that the web 11 is slightly plastically deformed. This means that the cup distances a after the heating roller 23 are increased by a certain amount. In this case, of course, subordinate devices, such as the embossing, perforating and punching device 35, are the changed geometrical ones
Verhältnissen der Bahn 11 anzupassen. Das eben beschriebene Verfahren hat den Vorteil, daß die Napfabstände a nicht nur vergrößert, sondern bei reduzierter Kraft F, auch verkleinert werden können. Somit können also auch bsw. Maschinentoleranzen oder Toleranzen bei geändertem Material der Bahn 11 ausgeglichen werden. Weiterhin ist es denkbar, mittels einer der Präge-, Perforier- und Ausstanzeinrichtung 35 nachgeordneten Kontrolleinrichtung zur Erfassung der geometrischen Daten ausgestanzter Packungsstreifen 36 die Kraft F zusätzlich zu regeln.Adapt conditions of the web 11. The method just described has the advantage that the cup spacings a can not only be increased, but also reduced with a reduced force F. Thus, bsw. Machine tolerances or tolerances in the changed material of the web 11 can be compensated. Furthermore, it is conceivable to additionally regulate the force F by means of a control device downstream of the embossing, perforating and punching device 35 for detecting the geometric data of punched-out packing strips 36.
Bei dem Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Figur 2 ist zwischen der Meßeinrichtung 18a und der Siegel- 21a und Heizwalze 23a eine Walzeinrichtung 40 angeordnet. Die Walzeinrichtung 40 hat eine Transportwalze 41 und ein Andrückwalze 42. Die Andrückwalze 42 ist wie die Heizwalze 23 beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Figur 1 über einen Hebel 24a mit einer Kraft F kraftbeaufschlagt. Die Funktions- und Arbeitsweise der Transportwalze 41 und der Andrückwalze 42 entspricht der der Siegel- 21 und Heizwalze 23 beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel. Im Gegensatz zum ersten Ausführungsbeispiel dienen die Siegel- 21a und die Heizwalze 23a bei der Figur 2 lediglich zum Aufsiegeln der Deckfolienbahn 30a auf die Bahn 11a, so daß in diesem Bereich keine oder lediglich eine geringe Verformung der Bahn 11a stattfindet. Ferner ist im Bereich der noch ungesiegelten Deckfolienbahn 30a einIn the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, a roller device 40 is arranged between the measuring device 18a and the sealing roller 21a and heating roller 23a. The roller device 40 has a transport roller 41 and a pressure roller 42. The pressure roller 42, like the heating roller 23 in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1, is subjected to a force F via a lever 24a. The function and operation of the transport roller 41 and the pressure roller 42 corresponds to that of the sealing roller 21 and heating roller 23 in the first embodiment. In contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, the seals 21a and the heating roller serve 23a in FIG. 2 only for sealing the cover film web 30a onto the web 11a, so that no or only a slight deformation of the web 11a takes place in this area. Furthermore, in the area of the still unsealed cover film web 30a
Druckmarkenerkennungssensor 37 angeordnet. Der Druckmarkenerkennungssensor 45 ist über die Steuereinrichtung der Verpackungsmaschine mit der Walzeinrichtung 40 gekoppelt. Bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ist es möglich, über eine gezielte Beeinflussung der Napfabstände a die Position der Druckbilder der Deckfolienbahn 30a zu regeln. Weiterhin besteht wie beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel weiterhin die Möglichkeit, die Napfabstände a über die Meßeinrichtung 18a wie oben beschrieben, zum Beispiel nach Produktionspausen, zu beeinflussen. Print mark detection sensor 37 arranged. The print mark detection sensor 45 is coupled to the roller device 40 via the control device of the packaging machine. In this exemplary embodiment, it is possible to regulate the position of the printed images of the cover film web 30a by deliberately influencing the cup spacings a. Furthermore, as in the first exemplary embodiment, there is still the possibility of influencing the cup spacings a via the measuring device 18a as described above, for example after production breaks.
