Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packing or unpacking machine for articles in or from containers, preferably bottles in or from bottle crates, as specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a machine for loading or unloading open bottle crates is known from DE-PS 1 035 559, in which a transfer device for the bottles is arranged on three conveyor tracks arranged parallel to one another, namely a conveyor track leading the bottle crates, and a conveyor track removing the bottle crates and a conveyor track leading the bottles in and out.
  • the transfer device contains four transfer units which are moved in a circular path and are assigned to a turntable, each of which has a gripper and carrier head for the bottles and a gripper and carrier device for the bottle crates. With this latter gripper and carrier device, the bottle crates are removed from the conveying path which brings them up, carried along on half of the circular movement path of the transfer unit and then placed on the conveying conveying path.
  • the gripper and carrier head for the bottles is lowered and raised again in relation to the gripper and carrier device for the bottle crates, in order to insert or lift the bottles out of the respective bottle crate during the rotating movement of the transfer unit.
  • the necessity of removing the bottle crates from a conveyor track and placing them on another conveyor track requires considerable additional effort in this known loading or unloading machine, namely not only with regard to the additional gripper and carrier devices for the bottle crates on the transfer units themselves and on the conveyor lines for the bottle crates required transfer devices or transfer devices for the bottle crates, but above all also with regard to the precise control for the transfer and transfer of the bottle crates. In all this, such known loading and unloading machines can only work slowly in the interest of operational safety, so that only a limited throughput can be achieved.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to significantly improve a loading and unloading machine of the type mentioned in such a way that the containers can remain on their conveyor track during loading or unloading and still have enough time to insert or remove the articles safely into the containers remove the containers while the respective container continues on its conveyor track. Movements that can be derived from pure rotary movements or circular movements should be used that are bumpless and as free as possible of abrupt movement transitions. This object is achieved by the measures represented in the characterizing part of claim 1:
  • the loading or unloading machine is characterized by a simple structure, simple development of the movement on the gripper and carrier head for the articles and by smooth and continuous movement deflection on the gripper and carrier head.
  • the gripper and carrier head When viewed from above, the gripper and carrier head always remain in their parallel position with respect to the conveyor tracks.
  • the movement transitions on the gripper and carrier heads during the rotation of the transfer unit correspond to a sine line.
  • the transfer units can be moved on a circular track and can therefore be attached to a machine part rotating in a circular motion, for example in the manner of a round carousel. Above all, any tension elements, such as chains and the like. be avoided for the movement of the transfer units in orbit.
  • the gripper and carrier heads are not arranged in a straight line above the conveyor tracks, this means no difficulty for picking up or setting down the items on the corresponding item conveyor track, but for the exact insertion of the items in a container or the safe removal of articles from a bundle, a slight lateral displacement of the bundle on its conveyor track can easily be carried out, in particular by means of additional measures as specified in claims 12 to 16.
  • the packing or unpacking machine according to the invention ne can be optionally formed with a central drive column or with a free central area, the latter is specified in claim 11.
  • the packing or unpacking machine has a gate-like machine frame 11, through which a conveyor track 12 for articles, namely bottles 13, and a conveyor track 14 for containers, namely bottle crates 15, are guided parallel to one another.
  • the machine frame 11 carries on its upper part a machine housing 16 in which a number of, for example, six transfer units 17 with gripper and carrier heads 30 held on lifting and lowerable carriers 1 are guided on a circular path K for carrying out a main circulating movement and are connected to corresponding drive devices .
  • the drive movement is taken up by a drive device 18 arranged in the lower part between the machine frame 11 and transmitted via a vertical cardan shaft 19.
  • the drive device 18 is also provided for driving the conveyor track 12 for feeding the bottles 13 and for driving the conveyor track 14 which feeds the empty bottle crates 15 and discharges the filled bottle crates 15 and is located lower than the track plane of the conveyor track 12.
  • the transfer units 17 are attached to a ring plate 2 of a cup-shaped turntable 20 rotatably mounted in the machine housing 16 with a ball joint 3, the toothed ring 4 of which is formed on the rotating bearing part of the ball joint 3 with the interposition of a gear wheel 5 via a drive shaft 19 driven gear 21 is set in continuous rotary motion, whereby the transfer units 17 and thus their lifting and lowering carriers 1 are given a continuous orbital motion on the circular path K.
  • each transfer unit 17 has an outer, preferably cylindrical, housing 22, which is firmly inserted into the ring plate 2 of the turntable 20.
  • An inner guide housing 23 is mounted axially displaceably within this outer housing 22.
  • This guide housing 23 accommodates a vertical main shaft 24, the axis of this main shaft 24 also forming the vertical axis 26 of the transfer unit 17 or of the liftable and lowerable carrier 1, which travels on the circular path K (see FIGS. 5 and 7).
  • the guide housing 23 contains an axially and radially effective bearing 27 for the main shaft 24.
  • a control roller 28 is attached laterally into the guide housing 23 and is used to generate the lifting and lowering movements for the one essentially from the guide housing 23 and the main shaft 24 consisting of the gripper and carrier head 30 holding and lowerable carrier 1 rotates on a control path 29 assigned to the fixed part of the machine housing 16 as it is dashed in FIG. 1 and indicated in dash-dot lines in FIGS.
  • the shaft region 35 of the main shaft 24 is designed in the manner of a splined shaft and is guided axially displaceably in a hub of a planet wheel 36 adapted to this, this planet wheel 36 by means of radial roller bearings 37 in upper end of the outer casing ses 22 is held rotatably.
  • a swivel arm 38 is fixedly mounted, in which an intermediate gear 39 meshing in the sun gear 33 (see FIGS. 3, 5 and 7) is mounted, in which a planet gear 40 meshes.
  • the planet gear 40 forms a further epicyclic gear UW which ensures the parallel position of the gripper and carrier head 30 and which is part of the drive device of the movement device for generating the superimposed relative movement.
  • the planet gear 40 is fixedly connected to an output pin 41 rotatably mounted in the swivel arm 38, which is arranged vertically and supports the gripper and carrier head 30 at its lower end.
  • the rotary movement of the planetary wheel 36 can take place in different ways.
  • a central, fixed gearwheel 42 is arranged inside the machine housing 16 and is fastened on a pin 7 mounted in the upper circular plate 6 of the turntable 20.
  • This pin 7 carries with its via the fixed gear 42 upward end a usual to a compressed air source connected distributor 8 for supplying the gripper and carrier heads 30 with compressed air and is by means of an arm 9 above the distributor 8 with the fixed part of the Machine housing 16 connected so that the fixed gear 42 and the stationary part of the distributor 8 are secured against rotation and are thus fixed when the turntable 20 rotates.
  • an intermediate gear 43 meshing with the fixed gear 42 is provided, with the fixed gear 42, the planet gears 36 and the intermediate gears 43 and the rotary table 20 being a common epicyclic gear UG assigned to the drive device of the movement device for generating the superimposing relative movement Movement of the swivel arms 38 of the lifting and lowering carrier 1 and thus the gripper and carrier heads 30 form.
  • the transmission ratios from the fixed gear 42 to the planet gear 36 are such that the planet gear 36 makes one revolution against the direction of rotation of the transfer units 17 with each revolution around the gear 42.
  • the swivel arm 38 thus executes one revolution in the opposite direction (FIGS. 4 to 6) or in the same direction (FIGS.
  • the distance can also be the same size if, for. B. the conveyor belts 12, 14 have the same altitude.
  • the embodiment according to FIG. 7 relates to a common epicyclic gear UG designed for rotating the swivel arm 38 and the transfer unit 17 in the same direction.
  • the main shaft 24 is driven by means of an orbital gear 43 'which meshes directly with a fixed gear 44 and a non-slip drive, for example a toothed belt drive, for which purpose a toothed belt pulley 36' is assigned to the drive wheel 43 'and with it the main shaft 24, the meshing idler gear 36 is replaced by a toothed belt pulley 36 'and a toothed belt 46 is provided as a power transmission means.
  • a rotational movement in the same direction as the arrow 47 according to the arrow 47 is generated on the toothed belt pulley 36 ′ and consequently on the main shaft 24, while the transfer unit 17 runs once around the vertical central axis 50.
  • FIGS. 6 and 8 show that in both embodiments the feed speed of the gripper and carrier head 30 on its movement path 48 or 49 fluctuates depending on the current angular position of the transfer unit 17 in the sense of a sine curve.
  • the curve for the acceleration of the gripper and carrier head 30 is also continuous. This means that the entire sequence of movements of the gripper and carrier head 30 in its orbit 48 and 49 is continuous and bumpless.
  • the slight differences between the curves shown in FIG. 6 for the embodiment according to FIGS. 4 to 6 and the curves shown in FIG. 8 for the embodiment according to FIG. 7 are insignificant compared to this basic operating behavior.
  • each gripper and carrier head 30 provided with a number of conventional gripper elements 58 corresponding to the bottles 13 to be accommodated is equipped with a liftable and lowerable, additional gripping and aligning device 51 which has a centering frame 52 when it is lowered over the opening edge of the respective container or bottle crate 15.
  • This centering frame 52 is attached to a pair of guide rods 53 which is suspended from its guide bearing on the gripper and carrier head 30 and has a guide element 54, which can be a slider or a roller.
  • the guide element 54 forms a control element which, as is apparent from FIGS. 1 and 2, via stationary control guide tracks 56, 57 held on the machine frame 11 and machine box 16 or, as shown in FIG.
  • the frames 52 can already be lowered to such an extent that they offer the bottles 13 an additional hold during further transport to the guide track 14.
  • compressed air is applied to them, for which purpose a cam 64 fastened on a shoulder 63 of the swivel arm 38 also receiving the cup curve 62 actuates a valve 65 attached to the top of the gripper and carrier head 30 to establish a connection from a compressed air supply line 66 connected to the rotating part of the distributor 8 to a line 67 connecting the gripper elements 58; see. Fig. 9.
  • connection existing for the detection of the group of bottles 13 between the supply line 66 of the line 67 and the line 67 via the valve 65 are interrupted by the running cam 64 from the rotating cam 64 opened to vent the gripper elements 58 to the atmosphere.
  • an allocation device 59 is provided in the entrance area of the conveyor track 14 for the bottle crates 15, each of which provides a bottle crate 15 for each gripper and guide head 30 that is loaded with bottles 13.
  • FIG. 1 it is a packing machine with which groups of bottles 13 are used in bottle crates 15.
  • an unpacking machine is also to be designed, with which groups of bottles 13 can be removed from bottle crates 15 and placed on a removal conveyor.
  • the transport directions are to be provided essentially the same as indicated by the arrows 60 and 61 in FIG. 1, however, the removal conveyor track will then preferably be continued on the left side in FIG. 1, while it is approached on the right side according to FIG. 1 .
  • such a packing and unpacking machine can also be designed for packing or unpacking other groups of articles into other containers or from other containers.
