Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for placing products in product holders, which device is connectable to supply means for supplying the products; and which device comprises first transporting means for separately transporting the supplied products; and second transporting means for supplying and discharging the product holders substantially transversely of the transporting direction of the products .
- a device in the form of a packing device is known from DE-A-4.241.440.
- the known device comprises two conveyor belts on which products are transported separately at some mutual distance. At the end thereof the products drop into a product holder which is carried substantially transversely of the transporting direction of the products along the conveyor belts.
- the known device has the drawback that the packing speed thereof is low.
- the known packing device is moreover unsuitable for packing fragile products such as biscuits because these can be easily damaged during the drop from the conveyor belt into the product holder.
- the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type stated in the preamble which obviates these drawbacks .
- the device according to the invention has the feature that the device is further provided with an insert plate and a follower plate arranged adjacently of the insert plate, which plates are arranged in the line of the first transporting means and which are each movable substantially parallel to the transporting direction of the products for separate placing of the products in one of the product holders by moving each product separately to the product holder using the insert plate and bringing the follower plate into contact with the product, wherein the insert plate subsequently moves off the product.
- the first transporting means are placed in a plane with a considerable horizontal component and the second transporting means are placed in a plane with a considerable vertical component .
- the device is further provided with guide means which are adapted to co-act with the insert plate and the follower plate in order to guide each product during placing thereof in the product holder.
- the guide means preferably comprise at least one flexible strip which at least partially extends substantially parallel to the insert plate and the fol- lower plate and is arranged at a height thereabove. In this manner the movement of the products is controlled as closely as possible, so that still higher transporting and packing speeds are possible without damage occurring to the products.
- the first transporting means, the insert plate and the follower plate are mutually coupled such that they move synchronously in a fixed cycle.
- the device according to the invention hereby also operates extremely accurately at high speeds.
- figure 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention
- figure 2 shows a part of the device of figure 1 in more detail
- figure 3 shows in schematic side view the part of the device of figure 2.
- Figure 1 shows a device 1 according to the invention in combination with a supply device 2 for supplying the products for packing.
- Supply device 2 comprises a conveyor belt 3 on which products, in this example biscuits 4, are supplied in rows as seen transversely of the trans- porting direction.
- the transporting direction of biscuits 4 is indicated with arrow A.
- Device 1 transports the biscuits separately in the direction of arrow B.
- second transporting means in the form of a further device 7 known in the field, product holders 8 for receiving biscuits 4 are supplied and discharged substantially vertically.
- the feed and outfeed direction of product holders 8 is indicated with arrow C.
- Figure 2 shows a part of figure 1 in more detail.
- Device 1 comprises carrier belts 9 and 11 for separately transporting biscuits 4 in substantially horizontal direction.
- Carrier belt 9 is provided for this purpose with spacer elements 10, while carrier belt 11 is provid- ed with spacer elements 12.
- the pitch between spacer elements 10 is preferably smaller than the pitch between spacer elements 12.
- selection plate 13 This latter is successively provided with a narrowed portion 14 and a recess 15.
- An insert plate 16 is arranged in the line of selection plate 13.
- a follower plate 17 is arranged between insert plate 16 and selection plate 13. Both insert plate 16 and follower plate 17 are movable parallel to transporting direction B. The operation of insert plate 16 and follow- er plate 17 will be discussed further with reference to figures 3A-3D.
- Guide means 19 are provided to control the placing of separate biscuits 4 in product holders or trays 8.
- Guide means 19 consist of two flexible strips which extend with a free zone substantially parallel to insert plate 16 and follower plate 17. The free zones of the guide strips are situated adjacently of each other in a plane running parallel to the transporting plane of the biscuits. By applying guide means which are sub-divided into strips the load on the biscuits is kept as low as possible. Insert plate 16, follower plate 17, the walls of tray 8 and guide strips 19 ensure that each biscuit 4 can move as far as possible only in the direction of arrow B. A "letterbox" is as it were created to receive each biscuit.
- the guide strips are placed in stationary position relative to the insert plate and the follower plate. In the shown preferred embodiment, guide strips 19 are mounted on device 7. A suitable material for the guide strips is for instance plastic. Guide strips 19 are situated at a distance above insert plate 16, this distance roughly corresponding with the thickness of a biscuit .
- Figures 3A-3D show schematically the operation of device 1 according to the invention on the basis of different positions thereof.
- Figure 3A shows the position in which one biscuit 4 is situated on insert plate 16. Directly in front of tray 8.
- insert plate 16 moves the biscuit 4 placed thereon into tray 8 in the direction of arrow B.
- Follower plate 17 also moves in the same direction, although not before insert plate 16 is in position, and provides for depositing of the biscuit in the tray.
- Biscuit 4 is in this way pushed into the product holder in the correct position under the guidance of guide strips 19 and optionally the side walls (not shown) of the product holder.
