Above these two conveying devices, there is the circular disk rotating around a horizontal axis of rotation, this axis of rotation being transverse to the first and second conveying devices. Due to the fact that the rondel performs a continuous rotary movement, the acceleration and deceleration processes of the packing sets are minimized as far as possible in comparison with the known system. The linear movement of the packing sets parallel to the axis of rotation between the two conveying devices takes place during the rotary movement of the rondel and can be realized in such a way that no pronounced inertia forces occur here, which could lead to undesired wear and undesired accidents.
  • the rotary movement of the rondelle as a whole is always somewhat balanced due to the symmetrical arrangement of the moving parts, so that the arrangement runs relatively free from vibrations. Because the rotational speed required is a high one, comparable to the hourly output of the most powerful systems to date Achieving hourly output, at around 10 rpm of the rondelle, is quite acceptable for a certain amount of time.

More or fewer gripper units can be used. If the above-mentioned circulation speed were too high, there would be the danger that the containers 2 would fall over on the first conveyor 4 when entering the machine due to excessive acceleration of the all-round hinged belt chains 38 of the first conveyor 4.

Abstract

Ce procédé et ce dispositif servent à emballer des récipients (1) dans des caisses. Les récipients (2) ordonnés en groupes en forme de matrices sur un premier convoyeur continu (4) sont saisis par des organes de conditionnement correspondants (18) et sont déposés dans des caisses (6) sur un deuxième convoyeur continu (8). L'invention se caractérise en ce que les organes de conditionnement (18) sont montés sur un carrousel (10) qui tourne autour d'un axe de rotation (11) horizontal qui s'étend transversalement par rapport au sens de déplacement commun (5) des premier et deuxième convoyeurs (4, 8), et en ce que les organes de conditionnement (18) effectuent entre les deux convoyeurs (4, 8) un mouvement linéaire parallèle à l'axe de rotation (11), outre leur mouvement de rotation (9) autour de l'axe de rotation (11).
