Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view showing the entire packaging device of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view, FIG. 3 is a side view, FIG. 4 is a schematic side view showing a state in which normal operation is performed, and FIG. Is a schematic side view showing a state in which, for example, a frame pallet 1, a product bucket conveyor unit 2, a carton molding unit 3, a carton hopper (including a carton stock conveyor) 4, a carton bucket conveyor unit 5, a moving base 6, Consists of side flap folding part, carton insertion part, product insertion part 7, product discharge part 8, noh conveyer part (including noh letter takeout part) 9, glued part, carton insertion part, operation panel 10 and cover 11. ing.
The cartons that are folded and stacked are sequentially supplied from the carton hopper 4 to the carton molding unit 3 (for example, the cartons are picked up one by one by the rotating suction unit of the carton removing unit to reach the carton molding unit 3). The printing / engraving apparatus is not shown in the drawing), and the cartons formed by the carton forming section 3 are transferred to the carton bucket conveyor section 5; Stored articles that are sequentially fed by the product bucket conveyor section 2 of the stored articles provided in parallel with the carton bucket conveyor section 5 are inserted by the product insertion section 7, and the carton side flap folding section and the carton insertion section are inserted by the carton insertion section. Both ends are closed and the boxed product is discharged from the product discharge section 8.

The structure of the carton molding unit 3 is not shown in detail, but on the rotating plate, a forming arm and a deformed gear provided with a carton suction portion at the tip thereof are provided, and the deformed gear is located at the center of the rotating plate. It meshes with the second deformed gear fixedly arranged, and rotates with the rotation of the turntable. The forming arm has the same length as the distance between the rotation shaft and the center of the rotating disk, and rotates in the opposite direction by the same rotation angle as the deformed gear by an appropriate transmission device such as a gear as the deformed gear rotates.

The movement of the forming arm during this period is the line connecting the center of rotation of the forming arm and the deformed gear and the circumference of the rotating arm and the center of rotation of the forming arm. This line indicates the center line position of the forming arm. The rotation angle of the rotating disk and the forming arm is equal, and the forming arm has the same length as the distance between the rotation axis and the center of the rotating disk. It moves upward, and at its apex, the carton at the end of the conveyor provided in the carton hopper 4 is adsorbed from below and conveyed while rotating downward.

From the side where the rotation of the forming arm exceeds 90 degrees, the diameter of the deformed gear is small and the diameter of the second deformed gear is large. The rotation angle of the forming arm with respect to the rotation angle of the rotating disk Becomes larger. As a result, the tip of the forming arm swings to the right.
Near the lower end of the movement of the forming arm, a pressing piece is disposed facing the end of the carton bucket conveyor 5. Due to the swing of the forming arm, the adsorbed carton is pressed against the pressing piece, and the first stage box is formed. Near the lower end, the radius of the deformed gear is large and the radius of the second deformed gear is small. Therefore, the rotation of the forming arm is small, and the carton is held almost horizontally while the carton bucket conveyor unit 5 Has the effect of sending in. Thereafter, the forming arm is rapidly rotated and pulled up so as not to hit the carton bucket conveyor unit 5 as the rotating plate rotates.

The carton bucket conveyor unit 5 has feed teeth on the upper and lower belts. The carton pressed against the pressing piece by the forming arm is opened to a diamond shape by a strong tatami mat, though it is opened by it. Then, it is fed into the carton bucket conveyor unit 5 by the forming arm and the pressing piece, but its tip engages with the teeth of the upper belt and is completely formed into a square by being pushed by the pressing piece from the rear.

Various modifications can be made to the above embodiment. When printing or engraving on the carton is unnecessary, the carton take-out part is disposed on the carton forming part 3, and the carton can be directly transferred to the forming arm from the rotating adsorbing part of the carton take-out part. In this case, the carton can be opened by pulling it up and down by shifting the suction and release timing between the suction part and the forming arm.
Also, the carton on the carton bucket conveyor unit 5 may be formed not by the pressing piece but by the lower belt feed dog.
Since the packaged product is loaded from the rear side of the boxing device, the carton comes out to the front of the boxing device, so it is very easy to change the parts of the carton bucket conveyor 5 and to change the mold and maintain the flap insertion part. Is.
In addition, since the Noboru conveyor unit 9 can escape backward together with the carton hopper 4 on the moving base 6, it is easy to use and a large-capacity stock of cartons is possible.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the carton stock conveyor, the bill conveyor 9 and the bill take-out unit provided in the carton hopper 4, which is a feature of the present invention, are installed in parallel on the top of the boxing device. Therefore, these can be provided on the moving base 6, and a working space can be created by sliding the carton stock conveyor etc. along with the moving base 6 to escape. And easy maintenance.
This moving base 6 is provided with, for example, two rails 12 on the left and right sides of the frame pallet 1 and slides the two rails 12 backward to provide a working space on the front surface.
This is because product loading is performed from the rear side of the packaging device, so that the side flap folding part can be remodeled and maintained very easily when the case is in front of the packaging device.
Further, since the noun conveyor section 9 is located in parallel with the carton stock conveyor provided in the carton hopper 4, it is easy to use and a large-capacity stock of cartons is possible. Replacing the parts of the writing conveyor unit 9 is extremely easy to work.

Also, each product bucket conveyor section 2, carton molding section 3, carton stock conveyor provided in carton hopper 4, carton bucket conveyor section 5, side flap folding section, carton insertion section, product insertion section 7, product discharge section 8, Since the drive source of the writing conveyor unit 9 is driven by a servo motor, automatic control can be performed very accurately.

The driving of the moving base 6 can be automatically controlled by a servo motor as in the other cases, but can also be moved manually by a person pushing and pulling.

As described above, the carton stock conveyor provided on the carton hopper 4 disposed on the upper part, the Noh conveyor part (including the Noh letter take-out part) 9 and the like can be moved together with the moving base 6 in the front-rear direction. When the carton bucket conveyor part 5 or the lower part conveyor part 9 is installed in the lower part, a space where the change and maintenance of the handbook conveyor part 9 can be performed very easily can be secured.
In addition, 10 is an operation panel such as a servo motor, and 11 is a cover provided by dividing the entire boxing device into a plurality of pieces that can be freely opened and closed. When this cover 11 is opened, all the driving of the boxing device is stopped. Each of them can be controlled by a sensor or the like.

As described above, as an embodiment, the carton stock conveyor for transferring the carton received from the carton hopper 4 to the carton bucket conveyor unit 5 is provided at the upper part, and the carton bucket conveyor part 5 and the letter book conveyor part 9 are provided at the upper part. Although the clogging device has been described, it is conceivable to change the configuration such as providing the lower section conveyor section 9 in the lower part of the structure, but in this case, without placing the second section conveyor section 9 on the moving base 6, the carton Needless to say, only the hopper 4 can move.
