Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a device and a method for packaging ice cream or other products.
  • the invention concerns a packaging device of ice cream or other products in containers such as cones, cups and the like.
  • the industrial packaging of ice cream is carried out on lines consisting of conveyors with many positions (5, 10 or more parallel rows of cones and/or cups) which are subjected to the sequential packaging operations which with reference to figure 1, for the packaged ice cream cones, can be the following:
  • packaging steps can differ or not all be present, and the choice of the listed steps is purely descriptive and identifying of packaged commercial cones.
  • the present sequence encounters an obstacle in the optimisation of the execution times of the indispensable closure step (cover positioning and crimping) which is the slowest step, the least able to be speeded up of the entire procedure.
  • a further problem which tends to make the packaging more difficult is related to the cleanliness of the packaged product, ensuring which the current laws of many countries foresee the sealing of the wrapper both to favour the conservation of the product and to make tampering attempts visible - with the product closed by means of crimping these attempts may instead occur without leaving evidence.
  • General object of the present invention is therefore that of supplying a device adapted to permit an increase of execution speed of each of the packaging steps and in particular of the closure step, which is applicable both on new devices and on existing ones.
  • the Applicant has found that it is possible to realise the packaging of ice cream in cones or other containers by means of a device and comprising a transfer line of the ice cream along which the preparation steps are carried out beginning with the feeding of the container up to the closure of the container with ice cream, and along the transfer line at least one device is foreseen adapted to carry out one of said operations, being mounted on a trolley moving synchronously with the ice cream transfer for the time required for the completion of the operative step.
  • One aspect of the present invention regards a packaging device of ice cream, according to that set forth in claim 1.
  • Another aspect of the invention concerns a method of packaging products or ice cream according to that set forth in claim 10.
  • a packaging device 10 is illustrated of ice cream or other products inserted in containers 15 according to the present invention.
  • the device comprises a plurality of parallel lines 11 (in the illustrated example there are ten parallel lines but naturally this number is subject to the production needs) on which trays 13 slide, moved by suitable conveyors 12; the trays 13 are equipped with seats 14 adapted to receive the wrappers and/or containers 15 for ice cream or different products such as cones, cups, small cups or other equally adapted types of containers.
  • the lines 11 convey the ice cream to the closure station 20 where the abovementioned wrapper closure step (f) is carried out.
  • the closure can occur in the classical manner by means of crimping the edge of the conical wrapper around the cover positioned in the preceding step (e) or by means of sealing with edge welding or other techniques intended to better preserve the contents.
  • a "follower" trolley 21 whose function is that of being in step with the movement of the ice cream conveyor lines in order to realise the operation, in this case the closure, without related movements with the advancing ice cream.
  • the production lines are foreseen to transfer the products both at continuous speed and by means of "step-by-step” movement which permits an improved synchronisation of the times and movements.
  • cones are referred to, but the meaning is of more general type and is valid for any container also comprising the related wrapper.
  • the follower trolley 21 comprises a lower portion 21' and an upper portion 21" adapted to perform different operations in the closure case.
  • the lower portion 21' in turn comprises an arm 27 bearing three lifters 28 positioned so to correspond with three alternate seats 14 present in the trays 13, thus extending for a total of five adjacent seats.
  • the arms 27 are moved by first lever devices 29 which can be in the ratio of one per each arm up to a single lever device 29 for all arms 27 present.
  • Means for the synchronous advancement and for the recall of the trolley are foreseen even if not illustrated since they are of known type.
  • the upper portion 21" of the trolley 21 has for each line a support arm 22 bearing three closure heads 23 which is moved by means of a second lever device 24.
  • this second lever device 24 can be realised in a number starting from one for all the lines to one for each production line 11.
  • the upper portion 21" moreover bears a mechanism equipped with three pairs of jaws 25 opened and closed by levers 26.
  • the position of the lifters 28, of the pairs of jaws 25 and closure heads 23 is predefined on the same axis, so to correspond with alternate cones or containers.
  • the trolley 21 advances in the direction of the arrow F of figure 3 and by means of the levers 26 the closure is actuated of the jaw pairs 25 on the wrappers containing the ice cream cones 25 (figure 7).
  • the lifters 28 are once again raised and lift the three cones from the jaw pairs 25 (figure 10).
  • the cones are released within their seats 14 into the trays 13, by means of lowering the lifters 28 (figure 12).
  • the trolley 21 is brought into position one step behind, so to bring it behind the three subsequent cones on which new cycle is carried out (figure 13).
