Definitions

  • PET bottles for beverages and, even more likely, also other equivalent containers are assembled into units or packs 5 of 4 or 6 elements, mainly using heat-shrink polymer plastic sheets.
  • this invention regards another rapid packing method and therefore a new safe and economic system which uses tape bindings called straps 18, applied with special and specific devices using traditional strapping machines.
  • straps 18 tape bindings
  • These machines have long been used for the general packaging of a variety of boxes, crates or containers but they have not yet been used industrially for the assembly of PET bottles or similar containers.
  • the system which is the object of this invention regards an operational unit able to execute a rapid, secure and simple packing, i.e. a pack 5, constituted of three straps : two placed on parallel surfaces which are perpendicular to the axes of the four or six bottles, which are preferable fitted into annular grooves 17 in the sides of the bottles themselves.
  • a third strap placed perpendicular with respect to the above two straps and passing through the centre of gravity of the four or six bottles 1, i.e. placed on a surface between two rows of two bottles 1 in the case of a four bottle pack or between two rows of three bottles in the case of a six bottle 1 pack.
  • This packaging method has two basic advantages: the first is that of preventing, thanks to the two horizontal straps, i.e.
  • the second is that of placing a restriction on a vertical surface which, in addition to tightening and therefore strengthening the two horizontal bindings, can be used as a grip or handle- holder for manual transportation of the pack.
  • the system which is the object of this invention has been conceived to simplify and reduce packing time to a minimum, thus guaranteeing reduced operating costs as well as constant, reliable operation.
  • the system works on three distinct operating surfaces or levels:
  • All of the bottles 1, in rows of three, are in contact with each other on the belt 2.
  • the belt 2 can advantageously be replaced by two belts: a long first belt which feeds a shorter following one, to better control the feed to the system.
  • the two operator devices 19 (machinery) of the strapping machines Rl and R2 are one on one side of the four or six bottles 1 to be packaged, and one on the other; i.e. opposite the groups to be packed.
  • the carousel 4 serves to transport, on the lower table C, by means of two discrete 90° rotations, the incomplete packs 5, (i.e. with only the two horizontal straps executed on level B) , in correspondence to the output conveyor belt 3 where the strapping machine R3 is located, working with its frame 20 on a vertical surface.
  • the partially strapped packs 5 of bottles 1 arrive in correspondence to the above mentioned conveyor belt 3 and are positioned under the vertical frame 20 of strapping machine R3 by one of the four pushing devices 12, integral with the carousel 4, so that the centre of gravity of packs 5, i.e. their vertical surface of symmetry, corresponds to the vertical strapping surface R3.
  • the carousel 4 is constituted of two horizontal plates 25 (ps and pi) which are parallel, rigid and integral with each other, both capable of rotating around an axis perpendicular to them, which rotates the whole using successive discrete 90° rotations, always in the same direction.
  • the axis is controlled by an electric motor with corresponding controls that are used to adjust all of the rotation parameters.
  • each shaft 6 the head of each fitted with a small plate 7 perpendicular to the shafts (square for four bottles 1 or rectangular for six bottles 1) , can slide with seal, but not rotate around their own axes, inside two holes 21 each fitted with antifriction bushings 22 and both drilled in the two horizontal plates pi and p2, the centres of which are aligned along the same vertical axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the carousel 4.
  • the centres of the four axes are at the same distance from the centre of the axis of rotation, i.e. they lie on a circle and are staggered by 90°.
  • baskets 8 are attached in correspondence to the four holes in the upper horizontal plate pi of the carousel 4, they are centred and integral with upper plate pi, while the bases of these baskets 8 are slightly larger than the bases of the small plates 7; their centres coincide with the axes of the shafts 6 of the small plates 7 : their centres are practically aligned so that they coincide vertically with the centre of gravity of the packs 5, the movement of which is sensed.
  • the baskets 8 have three vertical, adjacent walls integral with each other, which are also perpendicular to each other.
  • the only side of the baskets 8, without a wall which is perpendicular to the straight line joining the centre of the carousel 4 and the centre of the axis of the shafts 6 is the exterior one, i.e. the one distal to the rotation axis of the carousel 4.
  • the loaded small plates 7 can slide vertically, guided by their shafts 6, inside the baskets 8.
  • the shafts 6 of the small plates 7 can be driven both by electric motors linear with the corresponding controls and by pneumatic pistons.
  • the best solution is to lift the shafts 6 using a fixed cam 10 which lies in an arc of a circle of about 180° with a radius equal in length to the distance between the axis of the carousel 4 and the centre of the axes of the shafts 6.
  • This arc of a circle begins from two discrete 90° feeds of the carousel 4, i.e. starting from 180° from the angle 0° which is found in correspondence to the position of the centre of the shafts 6 when they support the pack 5 during the two simultaneous horizontal strapping operations.
  • the outline of the flat development of said fixed cam 10 can also be simply a straight line corresponding to the hypotenuse of a triangle with sides equal to the lifting height h and base equal to about 2nr, the length of which will obviously be (h 2
  • a wheel will be applied 11 mounted on bearing 13 at the lower end of the shafts 6, with a horizontal rotation axis perpendicular to the surface defined by the centre of the wheel 11 and by the axis of carousel 4.
  • the successive descent of the shafts 6 with their small plates 7 may be driven either by the motorised shafts 6 (electric or pneumatic) or more simply by gravity, controlled with calibrated friction brakes acting on the same shafts 6.
  • An upper stop RS which, through the aid of a hopper, allows the settling of groups of four or six bottles 1 coming from the feed conveyor belt 2 directly on the four or six bottles 1 stopped on second level B where the first two simultaneous horizontal strapping operations take place.
  • This stop RS is constituted of two rigid narrow horizontal plates 24 in contact with the terminal edge of the conveyor belt 2; when these two plates come together on a horizontal surface flush with the surface of the feed conveyor belt 2thanks to two synchronised linear motors, they allow four or six bottles 1 from the row of bottles 1 coming from the aforementioned feed conveyor belt 2 to level A to be pushed onto and then held there by a special vertical stop wall for the time necessary on the vertical of the group of the same number of bottles 1 below which undergo double horizontal strapping on level B.
  • these two plates 24 of the stop RS separate, they allow the four or six bottles 1 that are at the vertical above the four or six bottles already partially packed to rest directly on the caps of the latter, thanks to a special containment hopper, to then simultaneously move down one level together with the aforementioned partially packed bottles 1 below while the carousel 4 is stopped.
  • a lower stop RI which holds at the second level B the four or six bottles 1 coming from the first level A to be horizontally packed, while the carousel 4 rotates with the previously partially packed group to present it at the entrance to the output conveyor belt 3.
  • This stop RI is constituted essentially of two rigid horizontal bars 15, interlocked to two linear electric motors which move them horizontally on level B; these horizontal bars 15 have a series of horizontal pins (6 along their length, perpendicular to the same, arranged like the teeth of a comb; the pins can be perfectly fitted in the grooves 26, open at the top and made in the small plates 7.
  • the stop RI With the stop RI open, the column of two stacked groups of bottles 1 can be lowered with the small plate 7 which supports them both. Once this column of two groups rests on a basket 8 of the carousel, the stop RI will close, holding the top group at the second level B to be packed, while it waits for the following small plate 7 which, being raised with its shaft 6 along the fixed cam 10 will engage the pins 16 of the stop RI within its grooves 26.
  • a device 12 which expels the partially- strapped packs from the carousel 4 and positions them under the frame 20 of the vertical strapping machine R3.
  • This device integral with the carousel 4 is constituted of eight horizontal mobile shafts 9 on four surfaces, one per basket 8, driven either with electric motors or pneumatic shafts.
  • These bars 9 have plates 14 at their ends, integral with and perpendicular to the bars; at rest they coincide with the vertical internal walls of the baskets 8.
  • the expulsion will position the partially strapped packs 5 coming from the baskets 8 under the frame 20 of the vertical strapping machine R3 while at the same time the partially strapped packs 5, positioned under said frame 20 will push the preceding packs 5 which have just been vertically packed, onto the output conveyor belt 3.
  • the lower stop RI closes, stopping the upper group, still not strapped, at the exact level B of the double horizontal strapping.
  • Lower stop RI opens and the column composed of the level A group, still not strapped, and by the level B group just horizontally strapped, both being supported by the same small plate 7, goes down one level to angle 0° in the basket 8 below with carousel 4 stopped while the previously partially strapped group at angle 180°, i.e. positioned in front of the conveyor belt 3 is immediately expelled from its basket 8 and positioned under the frame 20 of the vertical strapping machine R3 , and simultaneously pushes the previous one onto the output conveyor belt 3
