Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring in a reservoir, stored, formed from individual products bulk material to a the individual products in the wells of a continuously or cyclically moving film web transfer transfer device, with a product outlet of the reservoir downstream downstream perforated plate.
  • Such devices are used, in particular, as part of a workstation in thermoforming machines, which transfer individual products to be packed in blister packs to the transfer device for further processing.
  • the individual products are given as bulk material through the outlet opening of the product outlet on the perforated plate, which serves to promote a possible single-layer product carpet in the direction of transfer device and thereby cause a dust and Bruchauschtung through the holes of the perforated plate , Directly below the outlet opening of the product outlet, the perforated plate must have no holes, since the resting on the perforated plate individual products are pressed by the overlying product column on the perforated plate, which is damaged by the edges of the holes could lead to more breakage, which would subsequently have to be eliminated.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a device of the type mentioned in such a way that the effectiveness of the dust and Bruchausscheidung the perforated plate is increased.
  • outlet opening of the product outlet has an oriented on a rectangle basic shape with a 60-95% of the width of the perforated plate corresponding width, and that the perforated plate below the product outlet a product inlet surface free of holes, and that the product inlet surface has 3 to 8 times the size of the outlet opening.
  • This set up of the device achieves the advantage that the available length of the perforated plate is better utilized because, in contrast to a round outlet opening of the product outlet, the product inlet area can be smaller, namely shorter.
  • Another advantage results from the fact that the shape of the outlet opening is oriented with respect to their width on the width of the perforated plate, so that in the conveying direction only a shorter length of the perforated plate is needed to fan the product carpet to the full width of the perforated plate. It is also favorable that the individual products from the product column can fan out into a product carpet before the holes in the perforated plate are reached, thus reducing the risk of breakage.
  • a lower load also results from the fact that in the rectangular design of the outlet opening the volume of the product column over the product inlet surface is smaller and thus results in a smaller volume flowed through by the individual products in the product outlet, so that with an equal number of individual products flowing through the residence time the individual products in the product column are reduced, thereby reducing the risk of damaging the individual products in the product column.
  • the outlet opening is rectangular in shape with a 75-85% of the width of the perforated plate corresponding width
  • a particularly high surface efficiency of the perforated plate results as the ratio of the areas under the product outlet to the effective perforated plate surface, since the product inlet surface is tuned in the conveying direction to the size of the outlet opening, which in turn is based on the size of the individual products, although quite individual products Size can be processed with the device according to the invention within the above-mentioned intervals.
  • a plurality of perforated plate are provided in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction Reihung.
  • the performance of the device according to the invention is thereby significantly increased in a simple manner, that two perforated plates arranged side by side are used, whose overall width determines the effective width at which the dimensioning of the outlet opening is oriented.
  • a high utilization efficiency of the product outlet is achieved, which is defined as the ratio of the width of the product outlet to the effective useful width of the perforated plates.
  • a utilization efficiency of approximately 0.9 is achieved, which is significantly increased compared to previously known embodiments.
  • the perforated plate arranged on a plate holder is assigned at least one vibration drive for conveying the products from the product outlet to the transfer device.
  • Thermoforming machines are used in particular in the pharmaceutical industry to package individual products such as tablets, dragees, pills or the like in blister packs, for which initially a thermoforming machine is withdrawn from a supply roll as a film web and fed to a heating station in which the mold film is heated to deformation temperature and a forming station is fed, in which the wells of the blister packs are formed. In the so-trained wells then the individual products must be transferred, which are provided as bulk material.
  • the device according to the invention ( Fig. 1 ) as a coupling member between the reservoir 1 and the individual products in the wells of the film web transfer transfer device.
  • the device according to the invention comprises in addition to the reservoir 1 with its product outlet 2 on a base frame 24 in a plate holder 3 releasably and replaceably arranged perforated plate 4, which is downstream of the product outlet 2 downstream.
  • the perforated plate 4 is multiple, namely twice present in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the individual products Reihung, thereby resulting in a very simple manner, an effective wide useful width.
  • Each perforated plate 4 has a plurality of holes adapted to the diameter and the shape of the individual products, which retain intact individual products on the surface of the perforated plate 4, but allow the separation of breakage and dust.
  • stiffening ribs 5 On the side facing away from the individual products of the perforated plates 4 are stiffening ribs 5 ( Fig.
  • the area directly under the product outlet 2 can not be used for fractional precipitation, since the resting on the perforated plate 4 Single products would be pressed from above through the overlying product column on the perforated plate 4 and the edges of the holes and the vibration movements of the perforated plate 4 could damage the individual products.
  • the area below the product outlet 2 must therefore remain free of holes and is thus lost for the fractional precipitation, thereby resulting in an extension of the perforated plate 4, in order to achieve a complete product separation. Therefore, the requirements for the smallest possible space requirement with the highest possible performance existed as framework conditions.
  • the outlet opening 21 of the product outlet 2 has a rectangular shape oriented to a width of the perforated plate 4 approximate width and aligned to the size of the individual products length, the perforated plate 4 below the product outlet with a Having the length of the outlet opening 21 corresponding product inlet surface 22 free of holes.
  • the entire width of the perforated plate 4 is utilized for the product separation in the application of the individual products on the perforated plate 4, so that there is a corresponding adjustment of the outlet opening 21 of the product outlet 2.
  • the length of the hole-free area of the perforated plate 4 is limited and minimizes the area that does not contribute to breakage, since initially the individual products extending from the edges of the product outlet 21 to the Have to distribute edges of the perforated plate 4. It has proven to be advantageous if the outlet opening 21 is designed rectangular with a 60 to 95%, in particular 75 to 85% of the width of the perforated plate 4 corresponding width and 2 to 12 times, in particular 5 to 8 times length corresponding to the size of the products, wherein the product inlet surface 22 has 3 to 8 times the size of the outlet opening 21 ( Fig. 8 ).
  • a bulk material leveler 9 rotatable about a pivot axis 8 is arranged downstream of the perforated plate 4, which is detachably connected to the base frame 24 in order to enable the change of the perforated plates 4 located underneath the bulk material leveler 9.
  • the bulk leveler 9 itself has at its the perforated plate 4 facing the free end of an elastic lip 10 to ensure a gentle treatment of the individual products; the rotational position of the bulk material leveler 9 itself can be fixed by a fixing element 11, namely a clamping screw with a toggle wheel, in order to allow adaptation to the size of the individual products ( Fig. 10 ).
  • a fixing element 11 namely a clamping screw with a toggle wheel
  • On the clamping screw itself an adjusting lever 12 is arranged.
  • the clamping screw is first loosened and twisted with the adjusting lever 12 of the bulk material leveler 9 so that it can be removed from an upwardly open screw holder 13 upwards.
  • the simple interchangeability of the perforated plates 4 is given by the use of the plate holder 3 as a slide support 15 arranged terminal strips 14.
  • Each terminal block 14 is mounted in a slide carrier 15 with a sloping to the vertical backdrop 16, wherein the gate 16 through an open end cam 17 is formed, in which the terminal block 14 with a guide pin 18 can be used.
  • a clamping means On the opposite side of the gate 16 of the terminal strips 14 is a clamping means, namely a clamping screw 19 is arranged, which engages in a downwardly inclined to the vertical guided screw bearing 23, wherein the inclination direction of the link 16 of the inclination direction of the clamping screw 19 corresponds, so that at a rotation of the clamping screws 19 in the clamping direction, the terminal block 14 is pulled downwards in total according to the inclination and clamps the perforated plate 4 against the plate holder 3.
  • the clamping screw 19 is releasably attached to the terminal block 14 ( FIGS. 6a to 6c ).
  • the FIGS. 1 to 3 show that the terminal block 14 is provided several times in a side edges of the perforated plate 4 associated arrangement.
  • the middle clamping bar 14 serves to load the two side edges of the left and right perforated plates 4.
  • the presence of the middle clamping bar 14 also forces the formation of a receptacle 20 in the bulk material leveler 9.
