Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and to a relative method of opening a tray.
  • Tray means a sheet of paper or cardboard turned up at the four sides to form two glued opposite outer sides and two sides orthogonal to the outer sides provided at their ends with attachments forming inner flaps glued to outer flaps glued to the other sides.
  • paper or cardboard trays is for example frequent in the case of primary containers consisting of bottles, which require a containment edge for stabilizing the pallets.
  • the need may occur to palletize primary containers or sales units in order to store them and depalletize them at a later time in order to feed them to a packaging machine for the successive secondary packaging.
  • the packaging location there is an increased quantity of empty trays exiting from the depalletization, which require disposal.
  • a sales unit means a bundle, a tray or a closed box.
  • the primary products introduced into this mixed sales unit may differ from one another for content, colour, labelling, and in the more complex cases, for the shape of the bottle or the container.
  • the primary products are of different "types" to define all these possible differences.
  • Primary products similarly means units closed in primary packages to be introduced into a packaging machine to produce secondary packages.
  • the trays used are open, that is flattened, thus causing the tear at the corners through a mechanical thrust action exerted from the inside outwards.
  • the trays thus torn can no longer be reused, not even as inserts, and they represent a significant waste of material.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and a relative method of opening a tray which allows resolving the drawbacks of the prior art.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and a relative method capable of efficiently detaching the glued flaps of the tray without tearing the cardboard and thus minimizing the deformations thereof.
  • Another aim of the present invention is to provide a suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and a particularly simple and functional relative method, with contained costs and compact size.
  • suction cup gripping head 42 for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray 111 according to the invention.
  • the gripping head 42 is for example applied to a robot of a tray transformation unit (not shown) belonging to a tray recycling system of a mixed palletization plant.
  • a tray transformation unit (not shown) belonging to a tray recycling system of a mixed palletization plant.
  • pallets of single-flavoured products contained in paper or cardboard trays 111 are supplied, which are depalletized for the creation of mixed lots of primary products, that is to say lots consisting of different primary products supplied towards a packaging machine which packages them in bundles, trays or closed boxes.
  • the trays 111, emptied of the primary products, are conveyed towards the tray transformation unit which picks them, opens them and stacks them to make them available for a new use.
  • the suction cup gripping head 42 identifies a quadrilateral perimeter of adjustable size according to the size of the trays 111.
  • the suction cup gripping head 42 comprises four gripper elements 43 placed in pairs at ends of two opposite sides of the perimeter and associable with pairs of opposite glued flaps, outer 111A and inner 111'A, of the tray 111.
  • Each gripper element 43 is provided with a first set of inner suction cups 44 engageable in translation by means of linear actuators 56 against the inner flap 111'A of the gluing of the tray, and with a tear device engageable to the outer flap 111A of the gluing of the tray by means of a tilting arm 46 adapted to detach the flap 111A of the tray 111 with its rotary movement.
  • the tear device causes the detachment of the two outer 111A and inner 111A' glued flaps following the detachment of the glue, and not the breakage of the cardboard.
  • the tear device may comprise a second set of outer suction cups 45 engageable against the outer glued flap 111A of the tray, associated with a hook 54 that can be activated by means of a linear actuator 55 for the engagement in a hooking manner with the glued side of the tray 111 from the inside thereof.
  • the hook 54 which may be associated also only with one of the two gripper elements 43 in a gripping manner on a pair of glued flaps 111A, 111'A, as shown for example in figure 1 , is positioned along the side of the tray 111 so as not to get in touch with the glued inner flap 111'A. It is indeed positioned more centrally with respect to the second set of suction cups 45. According to a further embodiment (not shown), the hook 54 could be absent or associated with all the gripper elements.
  • the outer 45 and inner 44 suction cups are closed in sequence against the glued flaps 111A and 111'A, while the hook 54 is in an extracted resting position.
  • the generation of vacuum inside the suction cups ensures the gripping on the relative glued flaps 111A and 111'A.
  • the hook 54 is then moved by means of translation into its engagement position with the inside of the glued side of the tray.
  • the outer suction cups 45 and the hook 54 are caused to rotate about a fulcrum 47 placed at about the fold of the outer glued flap 111A, through the engagement of a linear actuator 48 on a tilting arm 49 rigidly connected in parallel to the arm 46.
  • the hook 54 helps to pull the glued flap 111A, thus avoiding the detachment of the outer suction cup 45, thus creating a synergetic action for obtaining the detachment of the glued flaps 111A and 111'A with the minimum deformation of the tray 111.
  • the hook 54 is then brought back to an extracted resting position.
  • the closing and tearing cycle of the pair of suction cups 44, 45 is performed identically to the one described above.
  • the outer suction cups 45 are caused to rotate about the fulcrum 47 placed at about the fold of the outer glued flap 111A, through the engagement of the linear actuator 48 on the tilting arm 49 rigidly connected in parallel to the arm 46.
  • the suction cup gripping head 42 also comprises a pair of presser elements 50 respectively placed at the two remaining sides 111B of the tray 111, which are orthogonal to the glued flaps 111A and 111'A.
  • Each presser element 50 preferably provided with a wide flat thrusting surface, is hinged at the fold of the side 111B of the tray 111, orthogonal to the glued flaps 111A and 111'A and connected to a linear actuator 51.
  • the presser elements 50 rotate orthogonal to the tear direction of the outer glued flap 111A to act each on a side orthogonal to the gluing side of the tray, to complete the opening of the orthogonal sides 111B and the flattening of the tray, according to what shown in figure 9.
  • the suction cup gripping head 42 also comprises, in a position internal to the quadrilateral perimeter, a plurality of vertical linear actuators 52 arranged orthogonal to the plane of the tray, provided at the lower ends with suction cups 53 adapted to keep the open tray 111 raised and to facilitate its extraction from the suction cup gripping head 42 for depositing it onto a stack of open trays by pushing the open tray downwards (figure 10).
  • the method of opening a paper or cardboard tray according to the present invention comprises the steps of:
  • the suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and the relative method according to the present invention advantageously allow detaching the glued flaps without tearing the cardboard.
  • the suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and the relative method according to the present invention have the advantage of allowing the automated recycling of the trays.
  • suction cup gripping head for the opening of a paper or cardboard tray and the relative method thus conceived are susceptible to numerous modifications and variants, all falling within the invention; moreover, all the details may be replaced with technically equivalent elements.
  • the materials used, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to technical requirements.
