Definitions
- the invention is based on a cartoning machine according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a cartoning machine known for example from EP 0 465 437 AI, one is erected and one
- Folded boxes that open the opening are conveyed along a horizontal conveyor line.
- several blister strips stacked on top of each other are conveyed in a product cup with a package insert enclosing them in a U-shape.
- the contents of the product cups are pushed into the folding boxes by the push-in plungers assigned to the product cups, and the folding boxes are then closed.
- Cartoning machines of this type are particularly suitable for packaging insensitive items
- folding boxes with an integrated holding frame for packing sensitive objects such as ampoules, vials or the like
- the holding frame is integrally connected to a wide inner wall of the folding box and, because it can be folded flat against the inner wall, enables flat-lying transport and storage of such folding boxes.
- these folding boxes cannot be processed with the known cartoning machines described above, since the holding frame at least partially lies flat after the folding box has been erected, and so the objects cannot be inserted into the receptacles for the objects formed in the holding frame.
- the object of the invention is therefore to demonstrate a cartoning machine with which folding boxes with an integrated holding frame can also be processed.
- the cartoning machine according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1 has the advantage that folding boxes with an integrated holding frame can be processed reliably.
- a wedge-shaped formation of the erection elements ensures reliable erection at different levels
- Holding frame formats achieved.
- the objects can be inserted particularly well into the holding frame if the latter is held by a support element during insertion.
- a special design of the slide-in plunger prevents the objects from tipping when inserted into the folding box. With a corresponding design of the erecting element, jamming of the holding frame can be prevented.
- FIG. 1 shows a section of the cartoning machine according to the invention in a simplified perspective view
- FIG. 2 shows a folding box with an integrated holding frame in a perspective view
- the FIGS. 3 to 5 show cross sections through the cartoning machine according to FIG. 1 during various working phases
- 6 shows a cross section according to Figure 4 in a modified embodiment.
- a horizontal conveyor line of a cartoning machine 10 is shown, 12 cartons 15 are continuously conveyed between the drivers 12 arranged at regular intervals on a belt conveyor.
- the first flat-lying folding boxes 15 are removed from a stacking magazine by means of a removal, erecting and transfer device known per se (not shown) and inserted between the drivers 12 with the side walls erected.
- the folding boxes 15 have at their two opposite openings 16, 17 closing tabs 18, 19 which are bent in the region of the horizontal conveying path shown by likewise known and not shown guide rails, so that the full opening cross section 22 of the folding box 15 is exposed.
- each folding box 15 (FIG.
- a pocket 34 is formed between a partition wall 32 connecting the wall sections 26, 27 and a second wide side wall 33 of the folding box 15, into which a folded package insert 35 can be inserted.
- product cups 38 which run along with the folding boxes 15 are arranged on a second belt conveyor 37, in the recesses 39 of which the ampoules 30 provided for a folding box 15 and on the ampoules 30 of the package insert 35 are conveyed.
- the arrangement of the ampoules 30 and the package insert 35 in the product cup 38 is such that these are aligned with the openings 28 or the pocket 34 when the holding frame 25 is upright.
- Each product cup 38 is also assigned a slide-in device 42 aligned therewith, of which the
- each folding box 15 is assigned an erecting element 47 which moves with it and which can be moved centrally in the opening cross section 22 into the folding box 15.
- the pin-shaped erection element 47 is wedge-shaped on its tip 48 facing the wall section 27 of the holding frame 25, so that the underside of the tip 48 is approximately flush with the inside of the wide side wall 23.
- a support element 50 assigned to it can also be moved transversely to the conveying direction of the folding box 15.
- the support element 50 has a fork-shaped carrier 51 which is arranged approximately parallel to the pin-shaped erecting element 47.
- the carrier 51 has a support surface 52 with cutouts 53 which is adapted to the opening cross section 22 of the folding box 15 and the openings 28 of the holding frame 25.
- the cutouts 53 are dimensioned such that they have a larger opening than the openings 28 and also from the tip 48 of the erecting element 47 can be penetrated.
- the cartoning machine 10 described above functions as follows: in parallel and in alignment with the erected folding boxes continuously conveyed between the carriers 11 15 run with the product cups 38 equipped with the ampoules 30 and the package insert 35. So that in particular the ampoules 30 can be inserted into the openings 28 formed in the holding frame 25, the holding frame 25 which is still lying flat against the side wall 23 after the folding box 15 has been erected must be erected so that the two wall sections 26, 27 with the openings 28 protrude perpendicularly from the side wall 23.
- the erecting element 47 is moved transversely to the conveying direction of the folding box 15 in its opening 17 (FIG. 3).
- the wedge-shaped tip 48 of the erecting element 47 grasps the wall section 27 of the holding frame 25 facing it and folded over parallel to the side wall 23 and straightens it up together with the holding frame 25. As soon as the holding frame 25 is erected, it will
- the push-in plungers 45a are modified in FIG. 6 by a concentrically arranged suction bore 54.
- the suction bores 54 which are connected to a vacuum source (not shown), open into the end faces of the insertion plunger 45a facing the ampoules 30.
- the suction bores 54 are subjected to negative pressure during the insertion of the ampoules 30 into the folding box 15, the ampoules 30 are sucked against the insertion plunger 45a and aligned horizontally with them. This will cause a tipping and thus tilting of the ampoules 30 on the holding frame 25 during insertion is prevented.
- the erecting element 47a has a U-shaped cross section with the opening 55 facing the holding frame 25.
- the two legs 56, 57 of the erecting element 47a flanking the opening 55 are each wedge-shaped.
- the surfaces 58 facing the opening 55 are in the
- Embodiment shaped concave but you can also bsw. just be trained.
- the holding frame 25 is guided during erection in such a way that holding frames 25 can also be erected, which are critical with regard to the dimensioning of their sections or their folding process.
- Support element 50 to be replaced by a single element which takes over the functions of both elements 47 or 47a and 50. Furthermore, it is possible to dispense with a support element 50 in the case of a correspondingly rigid holding frame 25 or in the case of openings 28 in the holding frame 25 in which the objects are arranged with play, and only to erect the holding frame 25 by an erecting element 47, 47a.
