Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a packaging machine, in particular a chamber belt machine.
  • the chamber lid of the vacuum chamber can only be moved vertically, making it difficult for service personnel to clean the interior of the lid or to perform maintenance or repair work. Between the machine frame and the lower edge of the lid there is usually only a 300mm gap available for this work. Due to this limited accessibility, the work can only be carried out with limited or increased effort. The accessibility and the visibility of the inside of the lid during maintenance, repair or cleaning work is difficult. From an ergonomic point of view, this work is a heavy burden for the service technician or the cleaning staff.
  • a packaging machine according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US 3,818,574 out.
  • a packaging machine with a vacuum chamber, which is rotatable as a whole, is in the WO 01/94209 A1 described.
  • the US 5,465,557 A finally discloses a vacuum chamber for a packaging machine, the lid is pivotable about a hinge.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a packaging machine which improves the ergonomic accessibility and the visibility of the inside of the lid of a vacuum chamber of a packaging machine for maintenance, repair or cleaning work.
  • the object is achieved by a packaging machine according to claim 1.
  • the inventive pivotability of the lid, the ergonomic accessibility and the visibility of the lid interior is improved. Maintenance, repair or cleaning work can be carried out in front of the machine by a service technician or cleaning staff. This is particularly important in the field of food packaging or in the packaging of medical-sterile goods, since strict legal hygiene regulations must be observed.
  • the chamber belt machine is designed as an automatic chamber belt machine.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a chamber belt machine with a conveyor belt 1, a frame 2, a laying area 3, a vacuum chamber 4 and a lid 5.
  • the chamber 4 is formed by the lid 5 together with a part of the conveyor belt 1, wherein the cover 5 motor operated pneumatically or hydraulically operated opens automatically or power-operated, or open manually, for example, to be evacuated or sealed bags that are automatically fed by the conveyor belt 2, and then automatically closes to form the chamber 4.
  • the lid 5 is composed of a top surface, two side surfaces and two end surfaces.
  • the cover 5 In Fig. 1 the cover 5 is in its horizontal working position or in its lowered relative to the conveyor belt position in which the top surface of the lid 5 is aligned parallel to the conveyor belt 1. In this position, the chamber 4 is closed.
  • Fig. 2a, b shows the chamber belt machine in perspective view and in front view.
  • the lid 5 is in its horizontal working position. It is provided a lifting device 6, which allows a vertical lifting movement, ie orthogonal to the conveyor belt 1, the lid 5 in a raised position in which the chamber 4 is opened.
  • the lifting device 6 is a linear guide which is fixed on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 on the frame 2.
  • the movable parts of the linear guide, which are intended to realize the vertical stroke of the cover 5, are connected to one another via a transverse strut 8.
  • the cover 5 is articulated to this cross member 8 and articulated there with a centrally mounted joint 7. In this way, the lid 5 in addition to the vertical translational movement also perform a rotational movement about the hinge axis.
  • the axis of rotation passes through the center of gravity of the two end faces of the lid 5, to a smooth pivoting of the lid 5 to guarantee.
  • the cover 5 is connected to the hinge 7 in such a way that the axis of rotation passes through the center of mass of the cover 5 and parallel to the two lower edges of the side surfaces.
  • Fig. 3a, b shows the chamber belt machine in perspective or in front view.
  • the lid 5 is located in a vertical maintenance, repair or cleaning position or in a raised and pivoted position, hereinafter referred to as maintenance position.
  • the side surfaces of the lid 5 are in this position parallel to the conveyor belt 1. It extends here in each case substantially half of the end faces and the side surfaces of the lid 5 above and below the cross member. 8
  • the lid 5 In operation, the lid 5 from its working position (see Fig. 2a, b ) to its maintenance position ( Fig. 3a, b ), to perform maintenance, repair or cleaning work inside the lid.
  • the lid 5 is first translated translationally above the lifting device 6 in the vertical direction. Due to the articulated connection of the cover 5 with the transverse strut 8 or with the joint 7, the cover 5 can be pivoted after this lifting movement into a vertical maintenance position. In this position, the interior of the lid is optimally accessible or visible.
  • the cover 5 In order to transfer the cover 5 from the maintenance position back to the working position, the cover 5 is pivoted back about its axis of rotation and then brought over the lifting device 6 in its working position.
  • Fig. 4.5 show a non-inventive embodiment of the present invention.
  • the joint 7 is mounted eccentrically on the crossbar 8.
  • the lid 5 is accordingly also off-center connected to the hinge 7 in order to ensure a correct position of the lid 5 on the conveyor belt 1.
  • Fig. 4 is the lid 5 in a raised position, after the lifting movement but before the pivotal movement of the lid 5.
  • Fig. 5 is the lid 5 in its maintenance position. Due to the eccentric mounting of the lid 5 only a small lifting movement of the lifting device 6 is necessary to move the cover 5 from its working position to its maintenance position, since in the maintenance position, the largest part of the lid 5 extends above the cross strut 8.
  • an auxiliary device 9 for example in the form of a gas spring or a pneumatic cylinder, is provided to ensure optimum operability and smooth pivoting of the lid 5.
  • One end of the auxiliary device 9 is attached to the cover 5, the other end to the crossbar 8.
