Description
La présente invention concerne une machine d'encaissage automatique d'objets tels que des bouteilles, du type dit »wrap around«, ces objets arrivant à l'entrée de la machine en position debout, cet encaissage automatique étant réalisé à partir de flans prédécoupés en carton ou en un tout autre matériau, empilés à plat à l'intérieur d'un magasin, lesdits flans étant destinés à former des caisses comportant deux grands côtés opposés prolongés chacun aux deux extrémités par deux grands rabats et deux petits côtés opposés prolongés chacun par deux petits rabats, lesdits rabats une fois pliés constituant le dessus et le fond de la caisse, chaque flan prédécoupé comportant, en outre, un rabat de fermeture permettant d'assembler par collage l'un des grands côtés à un petit côté adjacent, et la machine comportant des moyens propres à réaliser l'enveloppement des objets à emballer par enroulement ainsi que des moyens de pliage et de fixation des rabats de façon à obtenir une caisse pleine à fond et à dessus fermés.The present invention relates to an automatic case-packing machine for objects such as bottles, of the so-called "wrap around" type, these objects arriving at the entrance to the machine in a standing position, this automatic case-packing being carried out from pre-cut blanks. made of cardboard or any other material, stacked flat inside a store, said blanks being intended to form cases having two large opposite sides each extended at both ends by two large flaps and two small opposite sides extended each by two small flaps, said flaps once folded constituting the top and the bottom of the box, each pre-cut blank comprising, in addition, a closing flap making it possible to assemble by gluing one of the large sides to a small adjacent side, and the machine comprising means suitable for carrying out the wrapping of the objects to be wrapped by winding as well as means for folding and fixing the flaps so as to obtain a full box d and above closed.
Dans la machine connue du type ci-dessus indiqué, on procède par enveloppement des objets à emballer par enroulement, dans un plan vertical, d'une découpe, ou flan prédécoupé, se présentant au départ horizontalement ou verticalement, ce qui présente l'incoinvénient que la caisse finie, formée autour des objets, présente un dessus qui ne peut être facilement ouvert. Or, lorsqu'il s'agit de bouteilles, il est important que l'utilisateur puisse y avoir accès par une ouverture supérieure de l'emballage, et non pas par le côté, qui est certes plus facile à ouvrir.In the known machine of the type indicated above, the objects to be packaged are wrapped by winding, in a vertical plane, a cut, or precut blank, which is initially presented horizontally or vertically, which has the drawback that the finished box, formed around the objects, has a top which cannot be easily opened. However, when it comes to bottles, it is important that the user can access them through an upper opening of the packaging, and not from the side, which is certainly easier to open.
Pour éviter cet inconvénient, on peut penser emballer les objets en position couchée, mais cela impose à la machine d'emballage une manoeuvre supplémentaire, pouvant endommager les objets, étant donné que ceux-ci arrivent à l'entrée de cette machine en position debout. C'est plus particulièrement le cas lorsqu'il s'agit de bouteilles ayant été au préalable pourvues d'un manchon ou bande de protection posée par une machine automatique telle que celle qui fait l'objet de la demande de brevet français n° 81-04774, déposée également au nom de la demanderesse.To avoid this drawback, one can think of packing the objects in the supine position, but this imposes on the packaging machine an additional maneuver, which can damage the objects, given that they arrive at the entrance of this machine in a standing position. . This is more particularly the case in the case of bottles which have been previously provided with a protective sleeve or band laid by an automatic machine such as that which is the subject of French patent application No. 81 -04774, also filed in the name of the plaintiff.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier à ces inconvénients des machines d'emballage de la technique antérieure qui sont dites »wrap around« et, à cet effet, une machine d'encaissage conforme à l'invention est essentiellement caractérisée en ce que lesdits moyens propres à réaliser l'enveloppement des objets à emballer par enroulement sont conçus de façon à permettre l'enroulement des objets, ceux-ci se présentant en position debout, dans un plan horizontal à partir d'un flan prédécoupé présenté verticalement.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks of the packaging machines of the prior art which are called "wrap around" and, for this purpose, a case packing machine according to the invention is essentially characterized in that said means suitable for carrying out the wrapping of the objects to be wrapped by winding are designed so as to allow the winding of the objects, the latter being in a standing position, in a horizontal plane from a pre-cut blank presented vertically.
Cette machine comportera, également de façon avantageuse, des moyens de guidage, de pliage, d'encollage et de pressage, permettant d'effectuer automatiquement le pliage des rabats de la découpe, ou flan prédécoupé, leur encollage et leur pressage, afin d'obtenir une caisse pleine à rabats fixés dans leur position de fermeture.This machine will also advantageously include means for guiding, folding, gluing and pressing, making it possible to automatically fold the flaps of the blank, or precut blank, their gluing and their pressing, in order to obtain a full box with flaps fixed in their closed position.
On obtiendra de la sorte, par un »wrap around« différent des »wrap around« connus, une sorte de caisse américaine, conformée automatiquement autour des objets à emballer, et qu'il sera facile d'ouvrir par le dessus, puisque ses rabats se trouveront alors au-dessus et au-dessous de la caisse, au lieu de se présenter sur ses côtés. Ceci, bien entendu, est obtenu sans qu'à aucun moment l'orientation des objets ait à être modifiée.We will thus obtain, by a "wrap around" different from the known "wrap around", a kind of American box, automatically shaped around the objects to be wrapped, and that it will be easy to open from above, since its flaps will then be above and below the body, instead of appearing on its sides. This, of course, is obtained without at any time the orientation of the objects having to be changed.

Sur les différentes figures, on a utilisé les mêmes références pour désigner les mêmes organes ou éléments.In the various figures, the same references have been used to designate the same members or elements.
1 désigne les objets - en l'occurrence des bouteilles - qui sont amenés à la machine en position debout sur un convoyeur 2. Ces objets sont arrêtés par une butée verticale 3, et une découpe 4 est extraite du magasin à découpes 5.1 designates the objects - in this case bottles - which are brought to the machine in a standing position on a
Ensuite, un poussoir de transfert 6 mobile transversalement devant la butée fixe 3 permet d'effectuer le transfert d'un certain nombre des objets ainsi groupés, par exemple au nombre de douze, d'une table fixe 7 vers une table 8 mobile transversalement, dans le sens de la flèche f2 (voir figure 4). Lorsque le poussoir de transfert 6 est en position avancée (voir figure 3), c'est-à-dire de poussée des bouteilles sur la table mobile, il constitue par une face antérieure 9 une butée d'arrêt pour les objets suivants. Le poussoir de chargement solidaire de la table mobile 8 et qui a été référencé en 10 est alors dans la position relevée indiquée sur les figures 2 et 3.Then, a
Pendant ces opérations, la découpe extraite 4 est amenée en position verticale et transférée dans la direction de la flèche f1 devant la table mobile 8, ceci en passant entre deux rouleaux de transfert 11.During these operations, the extracted blank 4 is brought to a vertical position and transferred in the direction of arrow f1 in front of the movable table 8, this passing between two
A l'aide du poussoir de chargement 10 de la table mobile, lequel peut pivoter dans le sens de la ftèche f3, les bouteilles sont ensuite transférées de la table mobile 8 vers l'intérieur de la caisse en cours de formation, c'est-à-dire en même temps que la caisse 4 commence à être conformée autour des objets par enroulement (flèche f4) horizontal, cet enroulement étant réalisé par des guides non représentés. Les rabats inférieurs de la caisse viennent se fermer au-dessous de la table 8, et la caisse est ensuite transférée (flèche f5), toujours grâce au poussoir de chargement 10, en même temps que les objets qu'elle contient, sur la table de transfert et d'évacuation 12 de la machine. A ce moment (figure 4), le poussoir de transfert 6 est revenu à sa position initiale (flèche f6) et un nouveau lot de douze bouteilles peut être amené sur la table fixe 7 (figure 5).Using the
A cet instant, trois des parois latérales de la caisse 4 sont dans leur position définitive, et après que le poussoir de chargement 10 soit revenu dans sa position haute, la dernière paroi latérale 4a de la caisse 4 peut être amenée également dans sa position définitive, sous l'action d'un guide de pliage fixe 13 (figure 6), du fait du transfert de la caisse.At this instant, three of the side walls of the
La référence 14 désigne des guides de pliage complet des rabats inférieurs, prévus sur la table de transfert 12 (figure 4), et la référence 15 désigne un dispositif d'encollage de ces rabats; la référence 16 désigne quant à elle un dispositif d'encollage des rabats supérieurs de la caisse (figure 6).
On a représenté également, à la figure 5, un dispositif d'encollage 17 propre à déposer un trait de colle le long du bord antérieur de la découpe 4, ce qui permettra la fixation sur ce bord de la patte de fermeture 4b de la caisse.Also shown, in Figure 5, a
La table mobile ainsi que le poussoir de chargement reculent vers leur position initiale, afin de reprendre un nouveau cycle de chargement. Enfin, da façon connue, grâce à des guides fixes ou analogues, on effectue, également après leur encollage, la fermeture des rabats supérieurs de la caisse (flèches f7), laquelle peut être finalement évacuée (sens de la flèche f8) de la machine, tandis que ses flancs sont pressés, le temps nécessaire pour la prise de la colle.The mobile table and the loading pusher move back to their initial position in order to resume a new loading cycle. Finally, in a known manner, thanks to fixed guides or the like, the upper flaps of the body (arrows f7) are closed, also after gluing, which can finally be removed (direction of arrow f8) from the machine , while its sides are pressed, the time necessary for the setting of the glue.
