Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for filling a blister strip with filling material according to the closer defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a device is known from DE 103 46 841 A1 known.
  • This known device has for sorting objects, for.
  • pharmaceutical products such as tablets
  • cups of a packaging material on an endless circulating sorting belt which is formed with receptacles for the tablets, which are discharged from a storage and dispensing device.
  • the sorting belt and the packaging material web are synchronized with each other in their course, wherein at a transfer point the recordings of the sorting belt come into coincidence with the cups of the packaging material web and the objects contained in the receptacles are transferred to the cups of the packaging material web.
  • the cups of the packaging material web are tested for proper filling with a sensor device prior to their sealing, so that blister strips separated from the packaging material web are subsequently eliminated with a faulty filling.
  • the excreted blister strips are either disposed of or unpacked in a complex manner, depending on the nature and value of their contents, so that the products contained in the defective blister strips can be re-packaged. In any case, the excretion of partially filled or filled with defective products blister strip leads to a significant increase in product.
  • the invention provides for a device mentioned above, that before the transfer of the contents of the sorting belt to the Blisterstrang a sensor device for monitoring the filling of the recordings of the sorting belt and downstream of an exit flap, which pass the recordings of the sorting belt with its open side are arranged, wherein the sensor device and the Ausscheideklappe are linked via a control device that upon detection of a Fehlbe colllung a recording of the sorting belt by the sensor device an opening of the Ausscheideklappe until the number of shots has passed the Ausscheideklappe, which corresponds to the number of wells to be separated from the blister strand to be filled with contents of the misfed recording BlisterstAINs.
  • the device according to the invention thus has the advantage that, when a faulty filling is detected, so many filled receptacles are emptied even before the product is transferred to the blister strand that a complete blank blister strip is produced on the blister strand. If the filled Blisterstrang a blister strip punch for dividing into blister strips with z. B. ten or twelve Napkahen, is now advantageously punched instead of a partially filled blister an empty blister whose elimination is negligible in terms of cost, since the filling is not affected by the elimination.
  • the Ausscheideklappe In a simple manner may be located below the Ausscheideklappe a transversely to the conveying direction of the sorting belt extending separator, which is covered by the Ausscheideklappe in its closed state. For example, via a slide the Ausscheiderinne can be emptied and the products contained therein can be fed to a repackaging.
  • the Ausscheideklappe can be arranged displaceably both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the sorting belt, it being advantageous for space reasons, when the Ausscheideklappe is moved in its opening and closing movement in the conveying direction of the sorting belt and this is coupled to a drive cylinder.
  • the device according to the invention can be designed as one-lane or multi-lane, wherein each lane corresponds to the width of a blister strip to be filled.
  • each lane corresponds to the width of a blister strip to be filled.
  • an independently controllable Ausscheideklappe is provided for each lane. This allows a blister strip-related individual excretion of contents.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 is a device 1 for filling a Blisterstrangs 5 with contents 4 in the form of pharmaceutical products such as tablets or confectionery such as chewing gum, wherein the Blisterstrang 5 each arranged in a row cups 6 in an endless path, from the blister in a later punching a certain Length to be separated.
  • the device 1 To fill the Blisterstrangs 5, the device 1 to a guide rollers 12, 13, 14 guided, endless sorting belt, wherein in addition to the pulleys shown a required for a desired belt run number of other pulleys can be provided.
  • the arrangement of the pulleys 12, 13, 14 results in different sections 16, 17, 18 for the sorting belt 2, wherein in a first section 16, the filling material 4 is discharged from a storage and dispensing device 20 on the sorting belt 2 and supported there by a shaking of the sorting belt 2 passes through a vibrating device 22 in cup-like receptacles 3 of the sorting belt 2.
  • the receptacles 3 of the sorting belt 2 formed from cost-effective, thermoformable plastic material correspond in their arrangement to the arrangement of the wells 6 of the blister strand 5.
  • the sorting belt 2 After deflection by the first guide roller 12, with the sorting belt 2 as well as with the other guide rollers 13, 14 via driver 21 is engaged, the sorting belt 2 is guided in a second section 17 perpendicular to the blister strand 5 to the second guide roller 13 of from the sorting belt 2 with the filled receptacles 3 in a slope describing third section 18 is guided against a Browngutübergabestelle to the Blisterstrang 5 in the region of the third guide roller 14.
  • holding plates 23 are arranged on the sorting belt 2, which reach as far as the sorting belt 2.
  • an optical sensor device 9 Arranged in the region of the vertical section 17 is an optical sensor device 9 designed as a camera, which checks the filling of the receptacles 3 of the sorting belt 2 with filling material and outputs the corresponding information signal to a control device 10.
  • Subordinate are arranged in the region of the oblique section 18 Ausscheideklappen 7 surface parallel to the present three-lane sorting belt 2, which are part of the holding surface 23 for holding the medium 4 in the receptacles 3 of the sorting belt 2 in the closed state.
  • a Ausscheiderinne 8 is arranged transversely to the conveying direction of the sorting belt 2, wherein in the Ausscheiderinne 8 befindliches Good can be discharged by a slider 24.
  • the Ausscheideklappen 7 are arranged displaceably in the illustrated embodiment in the conveying direction of the sorting belt 2, wherein each Ausscheideklappe 7 is designed in cross-section L-shaped and connected to an extending away from the sorting belt 2 L-leg with a drive cylinder 15 is driven by an electro-hydraulic drive motor 25.
  • the drive motor 25 is connected to the control unit 10, at which the information of the optical sensor device 9 received and is controlled by the control unit 10 such that the Ausscheideklappe 7 is closed when properly filled the recordings 3, so that the recordings 3 of the sorting belt 2 with their open side and the contents 4 arranged therein the Ausscheideklappe 7 can pass as a holding plate.
  • the Ausscheideklappe 7 is displaced by displacement of the drive cylinder 15 in a Ausscheiderinne 8 releasing opening movement and kept in the open state until the number of shots 3 has passed the opened Ausscheideklappe 7 that corresponds to the number of wells 6 of a blister strip 5 to be separated from the blister strand 5, to be filled with contents of the incorrectly filled receptacle 3.1.
  • the product products 4 located in the blister strips associated with these products fall correspondingly into the separator channels 8, so that empty receptacles 3 overlap with cups 6 of the blister strip 5 at the transfer point between the sorting belt 2 and the blister strip 5 and thus an empty blister strip at a downstream one Punching blister strip from the blister strand 5 is achieved.
  • the separation flap 7 is moved by a linear closing movement into a position covering the separation channels 8. For more precise guidance of the separation flap 7, this is in each case coupled to a rail guide 19.
  • the opening stroke of the separation flap 7 is variable in the embodiment shown, so that the Gregutausscheidung can be adjusted to the appropriate Gregutatory.
  • FIG. 3 how the particular FIG. 3 can be seen, in the apparatus 1 shown a multi-lane filling of blister strips is provided, ie the parallel filling of several blister strips side by side.
