Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device on a packaging machine for forming groups of upright, disc-shaped objects, in particular biscuits according to the preamble of independent claim 1 and a method for their operation according to the preamble of claim 4 (known from GB-A-2 065 055).
  • the grouping of objects, especially biscuits, has long been a problem because, on the one hand, careful handling to avoid damage and, on the other hand, precise counting is required to form groups with the same number of biscuits or with the same weight per group. For this purpose, the performance of the packaging machine should be as high as possible.
  • GB-PS-2 116 508 describes a known embodiment of a device for forming a plurality of adjacent groups.
  • the biscuits are aligned out of the oven in, for example, twelve rows and placed upright in a chute and then pushed in two groups with pushers along a transport chain, so that groups of six objects are formed. These can then be pushed to a further funding body, which is provided with carriers that transport groups in succession.
  • This training can be built by the manufacturer for any number of objects per group. This number cannot be changed later.
  • the transport takes place gradually with positive and negative acceleration phases, which can damage fragile goods.
  • the rows of items coming from the oven must be counted exactly; if an item is missing, this can no longer be compensated for.
  • GB-A-2 065 055 Another type of device for counting objects to form groups is described in GB-A-2 065 055.
  • the grouping is carried out with a conveyor wheel which has a number of radial and limitedly pivotable carriers.
  • the items delivered horizontally are thus rotated individually by 90 ° so that they stand upright.
  • the objects are pushed onto a rail, where they are taken over in groups by a conveyor finger and fed to another funding.
  • This device ensures uniform transport speeds for each phase.
  • the objects are subjected to little or no friction and are hardly subjected to pressure.
  • the group length can be easily changed.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 connects to a manufacturing machine, not shown, with which sandwich-shaped biscuits made from two pastry slices with a filling placed in between, e.g. B. chocolate or cream. It is obvious that this creates objects of variable thickness, which can also be extremely sensitive to impact.
  • the biscuits 1 are transported on a sliding table 2 with carriers 3 rotatably attached equidistantly to a conveying means 4, for example a chain or a belt.
  • a conveyor wheel 5 connects as a second conveying member, which is rotated about a driven axis 6 according to arrow A.
  • the feed wheel 5 has two disks 7 connected to the axle 6 in a manner fixed against relative rotation, in which a plurality of axles 8 are pivotally supported to a limited extent.
  • Each axis 8 carries a number of drivers 9 corresponding to the number of conveyor tracks 4 lying next to one another, which mesh with the sliding table 2 when the conveyor wheel 5 rotates and each take up a biscuit 1.
  • the biscuits are guided laterally on the path of the conveyor wheel 5 by means of guide rods, which are bent coaxially to the axis 6 at the entry area and protrude tangentially from the delivery wheel 5 in the exit area, which forms a collecting channel 11, so that the drivers in the latter area also leave the guide track the guide rods 10 can exit.
  • first gripper means which is formed from two forks 14, 15 arranged laterally of the collecting channel 11 and equipped with grippers 14a, 15a which engage in the path of the biscuits and sliding on a rail 32 and with lateral guide elements, not shown, is capable of executing a movement according to the path 20 shown in dashed lines in FIGS. 1 and 3.
  • Such gripper means and their drive elements are known in packaging machine technology and therefore do not need to be described further here.
  • a second gripper means with separating fingers 16, 17 on a lever arm 31 is located above the collecting duct 11.
  • the lever arm 31 is controlled in a manner known from drive technology, for example by means of a cam disk and cam scanner, in such a way that the free ends of the separating fingers 16, 17 are one Is able to execute the path according to path 19 drawn in dash-dotted lines.
  • two groups 12, 13 formed are simultaneously pushed to the transfer point 18, which connects to the collecting duct 11 in a straight line.
  • a special choice of the speeds in particular in that the engagement and pushing of the groups 12, 13 just formed on the collecting channel 11 runs synchronously with the movement of the feed wheel 5, ensures gentle handling of the biscuits when forming the groups.
  • the table 33 in the transfer point 18 is then lowered, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the rails 22, 23, 24 take over the function of the separating fingers 16, 17 in order to keep the two groups 12, 13 separate from one another when they are transferred to the third conveying member 25.
  • the new group 12A was also formed and can now be pushed forwards onto the busbar 11 with the forks 14, 15 by moving the drive rod 32 forward.
  • the separating fingers 16, 17 are moved back on the web 28.
  • the new second group 13A forms, the preceding new first group 12A reaches its foremost position before transfer to the transfer station 18.
  • the separating fingers 16, 17 now move behind the second group 13A or between the two groups 12A, 13A.
  • the next step is a sequence of movements until the position according to FIG. 3 has been reached.
  • cams with cam scanners can be used for the synchronous control of the movements of forks, separating fingers and table, which are driven by the same drive as the feed wheel 5.
