Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the technology field of packaging machines, particularly to continuous line to apply hollow punched cartons upon the neck of continuously iririning packages.
  • the solution for this first problem consists in a preliminary fragmentation of the coming cartons, that are arranged in a small cluster ahead of the line that slips down by natural gravity over the slope of a short slanted plane.
  • the second problem to be solved is to transfer separately each carton picking it continuously with a system of synchronized suction cups, downstream, from a continuous train of packages upon whose necks each single carton has to be inserted, folded and applied.
  • Figure 1 shows a plan view of a possible form of realization of the loading storage, shown as totally empty that is without the load of cartons that will transit on the long horizontal continuous conveyer.
  • Figure 2 shows a side view of the conveyer device, loaded with a continuous train of cartons, amasses and pushed forward, that produce a continuous feeding flow when the conveyer is running.
  • the same figure 2 shows, downstream of the long horizontal conveyer, a small cluster of packages simply juxtaposed and leaning by natural gravity on the terminal stops of a short slanted plane from which each single carton will individually picked up, with a pre-arranged pace, by suction cups that feed downstream a synchronized group.
  • Figure 3 schematizes the position of a single carton with the head that leans on an upper roller while its bottom is dragged by a lower roller.
  • the lower roller is always rotating in order to advance the carton's foot, while the upper roller rotates only when it's touched by the head of the carton.
  • Figure 4 schematizes the next position of the transiting carton: it can be noticed that the carton's foot leans on circumference of the lower dragging roller, while the carton's head touches the circumference of the upper roller and causes its rotation.
  • Figure 5 schematizes the position that the carton adopts during the transit: it can be noticed that foot and head of the carton are always in touch with the respective rollers.
  • Figure 6 shows the position of the transiting carton ever with the head and food touching the roller.
  • Figure 7 shows the position of the carton with the foot leaning on the slanted plane underneath, while its head has already lost contact with the upper roller. It can be noticed that said upper roller, being not it touch anymore with the transiting carton, stops its rotation.
  • Figure 8 shows the position of the carton that at the end of the transit leans on the terminal stops at the bottom of the slanted plane. It can be noticed that in this figure, as in the previous ones, the upper roller is still, as graphically indicated by the missing arrow that indicated the rotation in the previous figures. It can be noticed, though, that the lower roller is rotating continuously, as indicated by the relative arrow in all figures.
  • Figure 9 represents the indefinite length of the train of cartons amassed and pushed forward along the continuous long conveyer; on the other hand it can be noticed that the fractionated cluster of cartons simultaneously present on the short slanted plane is extremely small. It is thus clear that, on account of this splitting up of the cartons, simply leaning on the plane and not pushed forward, the intermittent taking of the cartons ahead of the line becomes easier. The cartons have to be separately fed by the downstream operating group synchronized with the coming of the continuous flow of cartons amassed and pushed forward upon the long conveyer upstream.
  • Figure 10 represents the case in which the fractionated cluster is reduced at just one carton: it is thus clear that such case is represented only to better highlight the original characteristic of the continuous fractionating device, whose working position is the one represented by figure 9.
  • each single detail it's marked as follows: from number 1 to 24 are indicated the cartons that constitute the first small fractionated cluster. With number 25 is indicated a coming carton after the grouping of the first cluster on the slanted plane.
  • Number 31 indicates the continuous horizontal conveyer.
  • Number 32 indicates the wheel that perform the continuous advancing of the conveyer.
  • Number 33 indicates a lower roller, in continuous uniform rotation, upon which the feet of the carton in transit lean.
  • Number 35 indicates side guidelines that follow aside the flow of cartons in transit.
  • Number 36 indicates a slanted plane over which slide by gravity cartons, coming after having passed though the zone of the two fractionating rollers.
  • Number 37, 38 and 39 indicates stops at the bottom of the slanted plane, where the fractionated cluster of cartons leans. With number 40 is marked the engine for the continuous sliding of the conveyer over which slide the pushed and amassed coming cartons.
  • Number 41 indicates schematically a system to push the train of cartons along the conveyor belt.
  • Figure 11 represents in axial section a rotating continuous device equipped with suction cups that take separately rows of cartons to dehver them synchronically to the group that downstream inserts the single cartons upon the necks of the corespondent containers in continuous transit.
  • Figure 12 represents a transversal suction of the section cups group presented in figure 11.
  • Figure 13 represents a complete and continuous packaging line to insert, fold and apply hollow punched cartons upon the neck of cartons in continuous transit.
  • 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66 indicate a continuous set of container, equally distant, in transit upon a continuous conveyer belt.
  • 61', 62', 63', 64', 65', 66' indicate a continuous train of cartons that run along a trajectory congruent and synchronized with the flow of correspondent containers.
  • 67' indicates schematically the cinematic congruence of the path of the correspondent cartons, that are taken, transferred and attached upon the necks of the containers that transit below synchronically.
  • 72 indicates a carton already folded on the body of the corresponding container.
  • 73 indicates the applying of the folded carton on the body of the correspondent container.
  • 74' indicates the elastically closed pincers that hold and transport a carton.
  • 74" indicates the open pincers that release the carton on the container.
  • 79 indicates a loop guide that define the trajectory of the prehensile linked equipment.
  • the synchronized group of cartons and containers operates as follows: the set of prehensile equipment (78) is equally distant along the loop chain (82) according to the pace at which the container (69), equally separated along the belt (68), transit. Upon said containers' neck will be inserted, through the special hole (70), the correspondent hollow punched carton that transit along the trajectory (76'), kinematically synchronized with the path of the continuous conveyor belt (68).
  • each pincer after having released the carton inserted on the neck of the correspondent synchronized container, runs again through the loop trajectory and then grabs other cartons to be inserted upon other coming cartons.
  • figure 15 are showed just eight prehensile equipment, but it is obvious that their number is related to the structural proportioning of the devices and also to the pace of the containers' flow in continuous transit on the feeding conveyor belt.
  • the pneumatic circuit that distributes the suction effect to the suction cups is interrupted when each carton has already been caught by the prehensile pincers (78).
  • the operative synchronization between the three groups that are part of the packaging line guarantee the continuity and the reliability of the packaging technological process.
  • the invention can of course be subjected to different variations of practical realization as far as the structural proportioning of the component part - that will be adjusted to the morphologic characteristics of the cartons - is concerned.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne une chaîne de conditionnement pouvant déposer, plier et appliquer des cartons à l'emporte-pièce sur le col d'emballages en transit continu. La chaîne de conditionnement est constituée d'une combinaison des groupes suivants à fonctionnement synchronisé: un premier groupe dans lequel un flux de cartons, alimenté et poussé de l'amont, est fractionné en aval en petits blocs simplement juxtaposés qui n'avancent plus; un deuxième groupe pour le transport pneumatique qui prend les cartons par unité et les achemine séparément en aval de la chaîne de conditionnement; un troisième groupe qui achemine, en transit continu, le flux fractionné d'emballages le long d'un trajet cinématiquement synchronisé avec le trajet des contenants correspondants sur le col desquels les cartons sont déposés, pliés et fixés en continu.
