Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging machine for fragile, flat or disc-shaped objects, in particular frozen dough pieces, frozen food pieces, baked goods and the like.
  • the articles to be packaged are conveyed substantially horizontally in a row towards a stacking device, the latter being intended to form vertical stacks of a certain number of superimposed objects.
  • the feed device in the form of an endless, guided by rollers conveyor belt or more endless, guided by rollers conveyors throws the objects to be stacked in a contour of the objects in cross-section adapted, provided with a vertical slot stacking shaft each on a stack underlay, which Beginning of the formation of a stack is located at the top of the stacking shaft and is moved downwards as the height of the forming stack in the stacking shaft, the respective stack support via a boom with a vertical drive arrangement for moving down a stack support within the stacking shaft on the reaching through the slot of the stacking shaft Boom, and is connected for upward movement in a return movement outside of the stacking shaft.
  • the stacking shaft is supported fixed to the frame in such a way that its upper end is freely accessible for pivoting in a stack underlay for the purpose of subsequent downward movement, and further the lower end of the stacking shaft for swiveling out a stack underlay after formation of the stack of objects is also freely accessible.
  • a stack support reaches the lower end of the stacking shaft and is pivoted away from the lower end of the stacking shaft, so the formed stack of objects from the stacking shaft slides down to a take-down lowerable Stapelabdgingvorraum, wherein between the stacking device and the Stapelabdgingvortechnisch a wrapping device is provided which in particular provides collapsed bags or bags into which the formed stacks of objects are placed under rest on the stack removal device and are finally supplied to further conveying means while the removal device is moved downwards.
  • the speed of operation of packaging machines of the type considered here must be set relatively high, especially when deep-frozen items to be processed and packaged, otherwise thawing of the items is to be feared, so that either no longer manageable or no longer usable and are usable.
  • the invention enables the problem to be solved, a packaging machine with the features of the preamble of claim 1 in such a way that a high operating speed can be achieved that stack arbitrarily adjustable height can be formed and that the objects to be handled can be stacked gently stacking.
  • the respective height of the stack formed depends on a corresponding control of the separately variable speed controllable drive devices and can be programmed in a central control unit.
  • Fig. 1 omitting certain parts for ease of illustration, and in certain details only schematically reproduced Verpakkungsmaschine includes a feed device with a portion or more sections endlessly circulating, guided by rollers 1 conveyor belts 2, wherein one of the rollers 1 with a not shown , intermittent or continuously operated drive is coupled.
  • On the upper run of the conveyor belt 2 are disk-shaped objects 3, for example, circular-shaped deep-frozen dough pieces, frozen food pieces, baked goods and the like.
  • the conveyor belt 2 conveys the articles 3 in the direction of a circular discharge opening 6 in the present case in a horizontal upper housing cover 7 of the packaging machine, wherein funnel-like guide surfaces, not shown, may be provided at the edges of the discharge opening 6 in FIG. that dropped from the conveyor belt 2 objects 3 fall safely through the discharge opening 6.
  • a lower housing cover 8 At a certain distance below the horizontal housing cover 7 is a lower housing cover 8, in which a vertically aligned with the discharge opening 6 transfer opening 9 is provided.
  • the cross-section of the interior of the stacking shaft 11 is adapted to the outline shape of the objects 3 to be stacked and is substantially circular in the present example.
  • the stack support 29 held on the boom 27 through the slot 10 of the stacking shaft 11 is already near the lower end of the stacking shaft 11 in the operating state shown in FIG. 1 and carries a stack of articles 3 in a desired number or in a desired one Height. While the stack support 28 is moved relatively slowly downward by the drive device or the lifting and lowering drive 14 during the construction of the stack, the stack support 29 moves relatively quickly with the already finished stack formed in this phase of operation by appropriate control of the motor 23rd on a residual path downwards and the stack support 29, the boom 27 and the drive device 15 are pivoted by appropriate control of the rotary drive at the location of the pivot bearing 18 relatively quickly with respect to a clockwise view, so that then at the bottom of the stacking shaft 11, the stack support 29 can be swung out under the stacking shaft 11 and under the bottom of the formed finished rod, in which case the finished stack falls through the transfer opening or passage opening 9 of the housing cover 8 in a bag or a bag on the stack removal device.
  • Fig. 1 shows no details of the stack removal device, which together with a wrapping device or Eintütungsvoriques in a below the housing cover 8 located housing 30 is located. For this purpose, the wrapped or packaged stacks are conveyed out by means of a discharge device 31.
  • the rotary actuators within the pivot bearings 16, 17, 18 and 19, as well as the drive motors 22 and 23 for the toothed belts of the lifting and lowering drives 20 and 21 may be formed as stepper motors, which are pulsed in such a way that both with respect to the pivoting movements of the drive devices 14 and 15, as well as with respect to the up and down movements of the stacking pads 28 and 29 gentle acceleration or deceleration transition phases between movement sections of greatly different movement speed can be provided. This causes a particularly gentle handling of the objects to be stacked 3 and a trouble-free operation even at relatively high speeds of up to 6000 handled objects per hour.
  • the cantilevers 26a, 26b and 26c are driven by the lifting and lowering drives through the slot 10 of the stacking shaft 11 pass through to the respective associated stacking documents. Further, by appropriate radial dimensioning of the cantilever arms and by arranging the axes of rotation 32a, 32b and 32c care is taken that, with respect to the plan view of Fig.
  • stacking pads 28a, 28b and 28c has the advantage of further increasing the operating speed and even gentler handling of the articles to be stacked, wherein in a vertically comparatively long stacking well 11 during the formation of a stack of articles at the top of the stacking shaft a ready formed stack of articles for transfer at the same time the stack removal device is underway at the bottom end of the stacking shaft.
  • a horizontal displacement drive 36 which within the drive member 24x of the stroke 3 and is shown only schematically in Fig., It is expressly emphasized that the formation of this Horizontalverschiebungsantriebs 36 can be done in detail in many ways and may also include shear drives, which are actuated by suitable drive means ,
  • the cantilever arm 26x is formed in a certain section as a rack, in which a pinion it horizontal displacement drive 36 engages.
  • the horizontal displacement drive 36 is supplied via metallization pads 37 on the outer surface of the toothed belt 20x and via sliding contacts with control signals or with energy.
  • three stack supports and associated lifting and lowering drives with respective horizontal displacement drives can be associated with a stacking well, with the limitations discussed with respect to FIG Arrangement of the individual lifting and lowering drives in the embodiment of FIG. 3 only to a lesser extent. It is therefore possible, when using the design principles of FIG. 3 a single vertically very elongated stacking shaft also assign more than three stacking documents with associated lifting and lowering drives, whereby the designer with respect to the adjustability of the height of each stack to be formed, with respect to the working speed and in terms of handling the objects to be stacked even greater latitude is given.
