Definitions
- the present invention relates to the handling required to pick up and return automatically punnets of strawberries and other horticultural products which are located within the palletized conveyance tray where they are placed directly after filling and must be removed temporarily from said trays 10 to subject them individually to weight checking and netting in a pack or other type of packaging for sale. Disclosure of the Invention
- the aim of present invention is to reduce significantly the times and costs of this weighing and packaging operation, automating the handling 15 that up to now has been performed manually to pick up and store the punnets in the trays.
- the trays for conveying punnets in the bottom of which appropriately provided openings have been formed conveniently, are crossed by particular elements, the 20 translational motions of which are predominantly vertical but if necessary also horizontal and allow them to pick up the punnets from the trays until they encounter pick-up elements, which perform a horizontal translational motion to convey them to the conveyor belts or other means designed to transfer them toward the weighing and packaging stations.
- Figure 1 is a schematic top view of said apparatus with a set of trays 30 A (the entire layer picked up from the stack of a pallet) arranged on the table 12 for picking up the punnets C contained therein while the empty trays A are stacked laterally with respect to the machine and the overhead transfer carriage 40 is moving above the table 12 to receive the punnets C to be transferred;
- Figures 2 to 15 illustrate sequentially the pick-up of the punnets from the trays by means of the transverse sectional view of the apparatus taken along the vertical line XX shown in Figure 1 while the overhead transfer carriage 40 is located momentarily above the punnet pick-up table 12;
- Figure 16 is a sectional view, taken along the vertical line XX, of the apparatus before the arrival of the trays with the punnets to be picked up and also of the overhead transfer carriage 40, which here is arranged as in Figure l;
- Figures 17 to 25 illustrate three different known types of tray, complete with punnets and each shown in two views and in a longitudinal sectional view, provided appropriately on their bottom with openings which allow to use them according to the devised method. Ways of carrying out the Invention
- the notches of the rack-like flaps 43 provided in the horizontal portion with which the pedestals 33 are straddled also continue in the portion that rises from the first portion and is designed to rest against the side wall of the punnets, so that appropriate stop elements, through the openings of said notches, can retain the punnets, on the conveyor belts or other transfer means, while the two rack-like flaps of each pair move mutually apart before returning onto the table 12 of the apparatus to pick up two more rows of punnets.
- the apparatus according to the invention is ready to receive a new set of full trays on the table 12 before the overhead carriage 40 returns above said table.
- the embodiment shown to describe the invention illustrates an apparatus designed to act simultaneously on an entire layer of trays taken from the stack of a pallet and composed of eight rectangular trays, each of which contains eight punnets arranged along two rows.
- the trays also are arranged along two rows which, in the specific case, are mutually adjacent and oriented longitudinally with respect to the apparatus, i.e., in the direction of motion of the overhead transfer carriage 40.
- the two jacks Ml produce the simultaneous and mutually opposite horizontal movement of the four rows of pedestals 33 that act on the two rows of trays.
- the two pairs of rack-like flaps 43 are rigidly connected to each other proximate to the corresponding bushes for sliding on the guides 41 by means of bars 42 in order to obtain, with just two jacks M4, the simultaneous approach or mutual spacing of the two rack-like flaps of both pairs.
- the trays always have a bottom which is preset with suitable openings for the action from below of the pedestals 33 against the bottom of all the punnets to be removed.
- the openings in the bottom of the trays and in the supporting table on the apparatus are such as to allow the pedestals to perform a horizontal translational motion with the punnets to be carried toward the center of the trays, i.e., at the ones that have already been picked up and delivered to the overlying pair of rack-like flaps 43 of the overhead transfer carriage 40.
- the openings Al and Bl provided in the cardboard trays A and B have an extension which, despite being more limited in order to avoid weakening the bottom of the two containers, is however still sufficient so that after the vertical lifting and picking of the central punnets C the corner punnets can be moved from the pedestals to the rack-like flaps for transfer so as to move around the corner blocks A3 or the handles B2.
- Said trays can then be filled with the same punnets, already weighed and packaged, by using an apparatus which is identical or very similar to the one that has been shown and is in any case such as to perform in reverse the method already performed for pickup.
- both the method and the apparatus for performing it may be susceptible of modifications and variations which are in any case comprised within the present patent scope and may further also relate to the use of trays with a different number of rows of punnets, perhaps an odd one, and the consequent use of a pair of rack-like flaps for each individual row.

Abstract
La présente invention vise des plateaux (A) de transport de barquettes (C) (dans le fond desquels des ouvertures appropriées (A1) ont été ménagées commodément) traversés par des éléments particuliers (33) qui sont dotés de ventouses, et dont les mouvements de translation sont généralement verticaux, mais peuvent aussi être horizontaux si nécessaire et qui leur permettent de soulever les barquettes (C) des plateaux (A) jusqu’à ce qu’ils rencontrent des paires de volets en forme de grille (43) qui les ramassent pour les transporter, en effectuant un mouvement de translation horizontale, vers les bandes transporteuses ou vers d’autres moyens conçus pour les transférer aux stations de pesage et d’emballage.
