Definitions

the invention relates to a thermoforming system, and in particular to a device for transferring blister strips into a downstream cartoning machine in the thermoforming system.
error-free blister strips which are referred to below as "good blister strips”
good blister strips are removed from a removal shaft by a first gripper device equipped with suction devices, and are fed to a linear blister transport section which in turn opens into a conveyor device of the cartoning machine.
Faulty blister strips are removed from the removal shaft by means of the first gripping device via a bad parts shaft.
thermoforming system In order to always supply the downstream cartoning machine with enough good blister strips, a refill chute with a second gripping device is arranged above the linear blister transport path, which takes replacement blister strips in accordance with the defective blister strips and feeds them to the blister transport path.
the thermoforming system is relatively complex and takes up a lot of space.
thermoforming system according to the invention with the features of claim 1 has the advantage that it is particularly compact and is relatively simple, since it does not require a blister transport path and only a gripping device. In addition, the device is particularly powerful.
thermoforming system According to the invention,
FIG. 1 shows part of a thermoforming system in a side view
FIG. 2 shows a suction cup removal system in a side view.
the device 10 shown in FIG. 1 is part of a thermoforming system and is used to transfer blister strips into a continuously operating conveyor 11 of a downstream cartoning machine, not shown.
the device 10 has a continuously working sucker removal system 12, which consists of a two-stage, four-section epicyclic gear and two connected to a vacuum source, not shown Suction heads 13 exists.
the epicyclic gear mechanism is designed such that the suction heads 13 each run on a movement path consisting of a hypocycloid with three curve sections.
a punching device 15 is arranged at a first turning point of the movement path of the suction heads 13, each of which provides a blister strip for the suction head 13.
a discharge chute 16 for faulty blister strips.
a discharge device 18 is assigned to the discharge shaft 16.
the separating device 18 consists of a rocker arm 20 which is arranged on the side of the suction device removal system 12 opposite the punching device 15 and is pivotably mounted in an axis 19 and has a fork 21 attached to its tip.
a refill chute 23 with replacement blister strips is also arranged above the sucker removal system 12 and the separating device 18.
the arrangement of the refill shaft 23 is such that it is located above the area of a second turning point of the movement path of the suction heads 13.
a depositing point 25 for good blister strips.
a second rocker 26 is rotatably mounted, the arm 27 of which is arranged in operative connection with the depositing point 25, and which is used for pushing good-blister strips into a stacking device 30 directly adjoining the depositing point 25.
a pushing device 31 is arranged, the two has continuously rotating fingers 33 for pushing a strip of good blister between the walls 34, 35 of a cell 36 of the conveyor 11.
the sucker removal system 12 shown in more detail in FIG. 2 shows the suction heads 13, each guided by means of two double rockers 37, which rotate around a cam disk 39 mounted in the planet center 38.
the cam plate 39 is designed to be rotatable. When the cam 39 is not rotated, the suction head 13 is drawn in on its path of movement in the region of the refill shaft 23 by a certain distance to the planet center 38, so that the suction head 13 together with the good blister strips is passed beneath the refill shaft 23.
the cam plate 39 To receive a replacement blister strip from the refill shaft 23, the cam plate 39 is rotated on the path of the suction head 13 from the punching device 15 to the refill shaft 23 by a certain angle, so that the suction head 13 comes into operative connection in the region of the refill shaft 23 with a replacement blister strip provided there. On the further path of the suction head 13 from the refill shaft 23 to the depositing point 25, the cam plate 39 is turned back into its original position.
the cam 39 is preferably rotated with the aid of a pneumatic cylinder 41 and a belt drive 42.
the above-described device 10 for transferring blister strips works as follows: Defective blister strips or good blister strips are identified by means of sensors and devices (not shown) which are connected to the control device of the device 10. In the presence of a good blister strip on the punching device 15, a suction head 13 of the sucker removal system 12 takes over the relevant good blister strip and guides it below the Refill shaft 23 over, which is achieved as described above by a corresponding position of the cam plate 39, and deposits it at the storage location 25. The deposited good blister strip is gripped by the arm 27 and pushed into the stacking device 30. As soon as the good blister strip is in the stacking device 30, it is gripped by a finger 33 of the pushing device 31, which pushes it in between the walls 34, 35 of the conveying device 11.
the blister strip in question is first pulled off a suction head 13, whereupon the rocker arm 26 is pivoted in the axis 19 in order to take the defective blister strip from the suction head 13 by means of its fork 21, and into the Transfer shaft 16 to transfer.
the cam 39 is rotated such that the suction head 13 comes into operative connection in the region of the refill shaft 23 with a spare blister strip provided, which is removed from the suction head 13.
the cam plate 39 is rotated back into its original position so that the replacement blister strip can be deposited at the depositing point 25. The rest of the operations are carried out in the same way as for a good blister strip.
the device 10 can also be used to insert good blister strips into the refill shaft 23. This eliminates the manual loading of the replacement shaft 23 with replacement blister strips.
