Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wrapping assembly, in particular designed to wrap individual products such as chocolates, pastries, confectionery products, candy and foods of various types.
  • the wrapping can be done with sheets of paper, polymeric sheets and/or metallic sheets (in particular sheets of aluminum).
  • a wrapping assembly according to preamble of claim 1 is known from FR 2095615 A5 .
  • WO 2007/132330 A1 also discloses a wrapping assembly with radial grippers.
  • the size of the sheet corresponds substantially to the extension of the product, so that, once a kind of tube has been formed with the sheet around the product, the end flaps of the sheet are substantially juxtaposed.
  • This type of packaging is sufficiently stable for products that are accommodated in dedicated seats (for example boxes in which each product is inserted into a respective seat). But when the products are distributed to the end customer in loose form, i.e. not accommodated in a respective seat of a box, it can happen that the wrapping can shift, thus becoming unstable and not completely effective in protecting the product.
  • the two juxtaposed flaps (which are usually located below the product) can shift, in so doing uncovering a portion of product.
  • This condition means the product can come into contact with the outside environment, with consequent possible damage and/or contamination.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a wrapping assembly that makes it possible to provide a stable packaging of individual products.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a wrapping assembly that produces a wrapping with aesthetic characteristics similar to conventional wrappings but which guards against accidental opening and exposure of a portion of product to the outside environment.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a wrapping assembly with encumbrances and structural architecture that are substantially similar to those of conventional wrapping assemblies.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a wrapping assembly which is low cost, easily and practically implemented, and safe in use.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a wrapping assembly according to the invention.
  • the wrapping assembly 1 comprises a rotatable carousel 2 provided with a plurality of radial grippers 3 for immobilizing at least one product A, with the interposition of at least one packaging sheet B.
  • the assembly 1 is further provided with a series of folding stations 4, 5, 6, 7 arranged along the trajectory of the grippers 3 (therefore along a peripheral ring with respect to the carousel 2): the stations 4, 5, 6, 7 are adapted to fold the flaps of the at least one sheet B onto the at least one product A in order to cover it.
  • the assembly 1 comprises at least one pusher 8 for immobilizing the at least one product A, partially covered with at least one respective sheet B, on the main folding station 5.
  • the assembly 1 further comprises at least one actuation device 9 for opening at least one of the grippers 3, with consequent release of the respective at least one product A.
  • the assembly 1 comprises, at the main station, at least one folding lamina 10 for juxtaposing a protruding flap C of the one sheet B on a side face of at least one respective product A, thus providing a substantially tubular covering around the at least one product A.
  • the actuation device 9 comprises a controlled motor 11 and a cam 12.
  • each gripper 3 comprises at least one arm 13 which is provided with an idle end roller 14, which can rotate on the cam 12: the rotation of the shaft 15 of the controlled motor 11 and therefore of the cam 12 will generate a movement of the arm 13 by virtue of the action of the idle end roller 14, with consequent opposite movement of the other arm 16 functionally associated therewith.
  • the movements of the arms 13 and 16 described previously define the opening of the gripper 3.
  • the pusher 8 conveniently comprises an abutment block 17 arranged on the end of a tilting arm 18.
  • the tilting arm 18 will be movable between a first, passive configuration, in which the block 17 is spaced apart from the respective folding station 5 (the main station), and an active configuration, in which the block 17 is proximate to a fixed plate 19 of the station 5, with the interposition, between the block 17 and the plate 19, of the at least one product A partially covered with the at least one respective sheet B and the corresponding immobilization in such position.
  • the controlled motor 11 of the actuation device 9 and the tilting arm 18 of the pusher 8 are synchronized and controlled by a control and management unit that can drive their movements according to conveniently synchronized laws of motion.
  • the active configuration of the pusher 8 in which it retains the product A partially wrapped by the sheet B against the fixed plate 19 of the station 5) and the opening of the grippers 3 will be substantially simultaneous in order to deliver the product A by means of the grippers 3 to the pusher 8 (and then subsequently pick it up again with the grippers 3 when execution of the folds has been carried out completely).
  • the at least one folding lamina 10 is rigidly coupled to a slider 20 which can move between an inactive configuration, in which it is retracted with respect to the at least one partially covered product A accommodated inside the main folding station 5 and in which the lamina 10 is spaced apart from the product A proper, and an active configuration, in which the lamina 10 is juxtaposed against a side face of the at least one product A with the interposition of the movable flap C of the sheet B that previously rested on the face during the advancement of the lamina 10.
  • the lamina 10 coupled thereto advances toward the product A, folding the flap C of the sheet B, which protrudes with respect to the outline of the product A proper, on a face of the product A and therefore completely encasing the product A with the sheet B (which assumes a tubular shape structure).
  • the slider 20 can also positively support two parallel side teeth 21 that are arranged at a distance that is similar to the length of the product A to be wrapped.
  • the teeth 21 will be juxtaposed against respective end heads of the at least one product A with the interposition of wings D of the sheet B which protrude with respect to the head, which are flattened onto it during the advancement of the respective teeth 21.
  • the wrapping assembly 1 further comprises at least one pair of tilting levers 22, 23 which are provided with end beaks 24, 25 for folding mutually opposite wings E, F of the sheet B, which are contiguous with the wings folded by the teeth 21 (i.e. the wings D).
  • the pairs of tilting levers 22, 23 are two in number, mutually opposite with respect to the main folding station 5: a first pair of levers 22 tilts above the partially wrapped product A in order to fold the upper wings F that protrude from the respective heads of the product A; a second pair of levers 23 tilts below the partially wrapped product A in order to fold the lower wings E that protrude from the respective heads of the product A.
  • the wrapping assembly 1 comprises a secondary folding station 6, arranged downstream of the main folding station 5 with respect to the trajectory of the grippers 3 during the rotation of the carousel 2.
  • a static folding unit 26 can be conveniently arranged for folding the last wings G, which protrude from the respective heads of the product A.
  • the product A during the transfer from the main station 5 to the secondary station 6, will pass through a pair of static folding units 26 arranged at a mutual distance equal to the length of the product A: during such pass-through, the wings G will be folded back onto the respective head of the product A gradually (because the static folding units 26 have a helical shape structure, they will intervene on the wing G progressively, gradually bringing it closer to the respective head).
  • the present invention solves the above mentioned problems, by providing a wrapping assembly 1 that makes it possible to provide a stable packaging of individual products A.
  • the wrapping assembly 1 provides a wrapping with aesthetic characteristics similar to conventional wrappings but which guards against accidental opening and exposure of a portion of product A to the outside environment.
  • the wrapping assembly 1 has encumbrances and structural architecture that are substantially similar to those of conventional wrapping assemblies: for this reason it can be installed simply in conventional production systems.
  • wrapping assembly 1 is easily and practically implemented and is low cost: such characteristics make the assembly 1 according to the invention an innovation that is safe in use.
  • the materials employed, as well as the dimensions, may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
